WATCHING FOR PA.

Three little forms in the twilight gray,
Scanning the shadow across the way;
Six little eyes-four black, two blue
Brimful of love and happiness too.
Watching for Pa.

Gcntle-face beaming with love just now;
Willie, the rogue, so loving and gay,
Stealing kiss from his sister May
Watching for Pa.
Nellie, with ringlets of sunny hue,
Costly nestled between the two,
Pressing her cheek 'gainst the window pine
Wishing the absent one home gain,
Watching for Ia.
Oh . how they gaze at the passers by
"Iie's coming at last" they gaily cH;
''Try again, my pets, exclaims manma,

That sweet little group he knows fall wei
May and Willie, with golden-haired Nell,

And eager pa;ter of childish feet,
Gay music now chimes through the hall
y manly voice responds to the call

TRUE INCIDENT OF THE WAR.

"The only time," said the surgeon,
"that | ever saw prisoners roughly han

late the incident.

week from Harper's Ferry to Winchester
We did not mean to garrison it, but to

We could safely go beyond it, to find out
whether the enemy had any forces in the

"The General ordered us to rest for the
night-until he could get the report OF
his spies, and one or two scouting parties
that he had sent into the country.
eve dismounted The officers told US
to make ourselves at home. The boys
searched all the stables and barns in the
town for forage, and others went out in
squaGs to the neiShboring farms.
Gas soon as they got sheir horses fed
they entered any house they pleased and
took up free quarters in it.
AS a squad of three or four men were
about to enter barn in the outskirts OF
the town, three rebel soldiers jumped up
from among the hay and let blaze a: them.
One of our men was wounded, but not
fatally. His comrades ran for help
They soon returned, | tell you, with as

mustered in Virginia. They searched the
barn high and low, every Dook and cor
ner, up loft aud down cellar, but not
trace of the rebels could we find.
ave knew they hadn't got out of our
lines, for our pickets were too strong for
that.
"There were some houses near by and
we searched them. But we had the same
luck-not a trace of the rebeis could we
find.

TICKLING A PARS0N.

An old Dutch farmer had a handsome

which the old farmer was somewhat pref

instrumentality Miss Minnie was convert

picion that all was not ht. Accordingly, a
he visited the church one Sunday night,
and seated himself unobscryed among the
congregation.
Soon after taking his seat, the minis

chapter, 10Th verse, repeated in loud
voice, the words of bis text, Meme, meme,

farmer sprane to his feet, seized the af-
frighted girl by the arm, and hurried her
out of the meeting-house. Having reach

feelings in the words:

CHEWING GUM.-Chcwing gum is an
article used somewhat extensively among
young people, and whilst we have no de
sire to interfere with their tastes, it is per-
haps well that they should know what ii
is made Ct. The manufacture of this
gum is carried on chiefly in Massachusetts
and the process has been kept secret,
\ New hnsland newspaper, however, says
that one Of the employees of the place
having been discharged, he divulged the
secret; and it then gees on to tell the pro-
cess. The gum is made of certain parts
Of gum arabic, gum-traga gacanth, a small
quantity of rosin and fat The fat used
is not lard Chat being too expensive) but
it is a substance expressed from the bodies
Of hogs, cats, dogs, aud other animals
found dead in the streets of cities After
The various ingredients are melted togeth-
er in huge kettle, certain kind Of al
kali is put in for the purpose Of whitening
the gum This alkali is the same that is
used BY dyers with indigo to give a deep
aad permanent blue to :he fianneIs."

WOULDN'T TAKE TWENTY DOLLARS.

Some waggish students at Yale College,
few years since, were RECALLING them
selves one evening at the "Tontir e." wit ca
an old farmer from the country entered
the room (taking it for the bar room) and
inquired if he could obtain lodging. The
young chaps Immediately answered in the
affirmative, inviting him to take a glass
of punch. The old fellow, who was a
shrewd Yankee, saw at once that he was
to be made the butt Of their jests, but
quietly lay;rs off his hat and telling a
worthless little dog he had with him to
lie under the chair, he took glass of the
prollered beverage. The students anx-
iously inquired after the health Of the old
mans wife and children, and the farmer,
with affected simplicity, gave them the
whole pedigree, with numerous anecdotes
about his farm stock, &c.
ado you belong to the church, asked
one of the wags.
"Yes, the Lord BE praised, and SO did
my father before me-
"Well, | suppose you would not tell
lie p replied the student.
"Not for the world" added the farmer.
"Now what will you take for that dog ?'
pointing to the farmers eur, who was not
worth bis weight in Jersey mud.
81 would not take twenty dollars for
hat dog"
twenty dollars ? why, he is not worth
twenty cents"
"Well, | assure you l would not take
twenty dollars fer him"
'Come ny frieDd,' said the student,
who with his companions was bent on hav-
ing some capital fun with the old man
Now you say you won't tell lie for the
world, let me see if you will do it for
twenty dollars. I'll give you twenty dol
lars fer your dog"
"l'li not take it," replied the farmer.

will tempt you to tell lie,' added the
student, producing q small bag Of half
dollars, from which he counted small piles
on the table, where the farmer sat with
his hat in his hand, apparently uacon-
cerned. "There," added the student,
'thare are twenty dollars all in silver.
will give you that for your dog"
The old farmer quietly raised his hat
to the edge Of the table, and then as quick
as though scraped all the money in,o it
except one half dollar, at the same time
exclaiming, Il won't take your twenty
dollars Nineteen and half is as much
as the dog is worth--he is your property -
A tremendous laugh from his fellow
students showed the would-be wag chat he
was completely "done up" and that he
need not look for help from that quarter
so he good naturedly acknowledged beat,
insisted on the old farmer taking another
glass, and they parted in great glee-tho
student retaining his dog, which lie keeps
to this day a. a lesson to him reyeI to at
tempt to play tricks on men older than
himself, and especially to be careful how
he tries to wheedle a Yankee farmer.

SINGULAR CoIyCIDENCE--Last week
a full set Of arms, etc, was issued from
the atmory at Harrisburg to company
of Zouavcs recently organized at Gettys-
burg. y few days ago said arms were
distributed to the members Of the com-
pany in that place, when one of the
Zouaves had a gun assigned him, which,
upon examination, was found to be the
same which he had carried as a private Of
Company G, 209th Regiment, fenn'a
Volunteers, in the late war for the Union.
Upon the discharge Of the Regiment, at
the close of the war, he left his gun at
Petersburg. Va, 1t now comes back to

initials Of his name cut on the stock, and
retaining the same marks on the lock, ,
which he had put on it while in camp, to
identify it there.

One or two blows made quite a large
opening, and with single jerk, Bill tore
up the flooring.
There lay the three rebs, dressed in
dirty homespun, huddled together at the
bottom of a wide hole that they had dug
beneath the house.
Bill was powerful fellow He seized
one of the rebels by she nape of neck,
and not only pulled him out, but pitched
him to the further corner of the room.
One Of our boys instantly covered him
with his revolver
Without waiting to rest, Bill served
the two others in the same way.
You ought to have seen him as he
turned to the women.

And you never seen no reb, you never
did, Miss Brass ? Nor you nu,her, on your

They hung down their heads, blushed
up to their eyes, and left the room with
out word. We disarmed the rebels
and led them to the General. But it was
hard work. never saw men so cxasper-
ated. They wanted to lynch these as
