my carriage is at the door. I'll drive
you to the War Department, and well
see Stanton about this matter"
AT that early hour they found the Sec,
retary at his post. The President plead
ed the case of Colonel Scott, and not on
ly requested that leave of absence should
be given him, but that steamer should
be sent down the river expressly to bring
up the body of his wife. Humanity,
Mr.. Stanton" said the good President,
his homely face TRANSPORTED with the
glow of earnest, tender feeling, human
ity should overrule considerations of pol
icy, and even military necessity in mat
ters like this"
The Secretary was touched, and he
said something of his regret at not hav.
ing felt himself at liberty to grant Col
Scott's request in the first place.
"No, no, Mr.. Stanton" said the Pres
ident, "you did right in adhering to your
own rules; you are the right man for
this place. If we had such soft-heart-
ed fool as here, there would beno rules
or regulations that the army or the coun-
try could depend upon. But this is a
peculiar case. Only think of that poor
woman
OF course, the " impossible " was ac-
complished.
To the surprise of the Colonel, the
President insisted on driving him to the
Navy Yard, to see that the Secretary
order was carried out Immediately
seeming to have a nervous fear that some
obstacle might be thrown in the way o.
the pious expedition. He waited at the
landing till all was ready, then charged
the officers of the steamer to give every
assistance and attention to his " friend
Col. Scott" With him he shook hand
warmly at parting, saying, " God bles

During the summer of the most dissa-
trous year of the late American war, the
Cnlnnnl of n New Hamnshire reGiment
lay for some weeks extremely i'll of a
camp fever, near Hampton Roads, in
Virginia. Hearing of his critical condi-
ton, his wife left her Northern home,
and after much difficulty made her way
to his bedside. Her cheerful presence
and careful nursing, so far restored him
that he was in a short time able to be
transferred to Washington.
In the Potomac river the steamer in
which the invalid officer, Col. Scott, and
his wife had taken passage, was sunk in
collision with a larger vessel in the
night time. The crew and nearly all the
soldiers on board were rescued or saved
themselves but amid the horrible con-
fusion of the scene, Col. Scott became
separated from his wife, and she was lost.
The Colonel was picked up in the water
by the crew Of the larger steamer, and
under his direction every effort was made
to discover his wife, or rather her body,
for all hope of finding heralive was soon
abandoned. The sad search was fruit
less it was resumed in the morning, the
people along the shore, humane confed-
crates, lending their aid. But the gray,
sullen river refused to give up its dead,
and the young officer, half frantic with
grief, was compelled to go on to Wash
ington. Within a week, however, he re-
ceived word from below that the body of
his lady had been washed on shore that
those good country people, generous foes,
had secured it, cared for it, and were
keeping it for him.
1t happened that just at that time i'm
perative orders swere issued from the War
Department, prohibiting all intercourse
with the peninsular-a necessary precau-
tion against the premature disclosure of
important military plans. So it was
with some misgivings that Colonel Scott
applied to Secretary Stanton for leave to
return to Virginia on his melancholy
duty.
Impossible, Colonel" replied Mr..
Stanton, firmly; "no one can leave to go
down the river, at this time, on any pri-
vate mission whatever. Our present ex-
egencies demand the most stringent reg
ulations and l hope L need not say to
you that no merely personal considera-
tions should be allowed to interfere with
great national interests. Your case is a
sad one but this is critical, perilous,
cruel time. The dead must bury their
dead."'
The Colonel would have entreated, but
the busy Secretary cut him short with
another " impossible" from which there
was absolutely no appeal. He went
forth from the presence, and returned to
his hotel, quite overwhelmed.
Fortunately, he was that afternoon Wis
tied by friend, to whom he told the
story of his unsuccessful application and
sad perplexity, who Immediately ex
claimed, "Why not apply to the Presi
dent?"

JOKE ON A HOTEL KEEPER.-One of
our Portland hotel keepers was recently
victimized in the following manner; A.
B. went to him and engaged board by
the week at SO per week. "Now," said
A. B. 81 may be absent occasionally !:
what deduction will you make for that ?"
Fifty cents meal, and fifty cents a
lodging" replied the landlord. Time
wore on, and A. B. was sometimes there
and sometimes not. After while the
landlord presented his bill for three
weeks board.-s30. In short time A.
B. appeared with counter bill of de-
duction for meals and lodgings missed
Meals eaten three, $3.50; lodgings, sew.
en-, $3.50; meals missed, sixty, $50
lodgings missed, fourteen, 81; balance
in favor of A. 3. 50.
Landlord was OF course little aston
ished at the result of the reckoning, and
therefore said not word for the best of
reasons, that he could not think of any
thing that would do justice to the subject
l-Whereupon, A. B., to relieve the land
lords perplexity, remarked with cool
urbanity, swell, never mind the So, I'll
take it out in board" Landlord could mt
see how to keep clear with such board.
er, and so the connection between him
and A, B. came to an end.-Portland

Stolen by IndianS---A Man Returns
After 20 Years.

The Sandusky Register contains the
following narrative:
Thirty-three years ago there lived in
Lewiston, Logan County, Ohio, a farmer
by the name of Harris Hopkins, who
had a boy between three and four years
of age.-One day while the father was at
work in the field some distance from the
farm house, the boy started from the
house across the field to see his father.
The last seen of the little fellow was when
he left the house. Hundreds and thou
sands of people turned out to search for
the lost child. The river was dragged,
the woods searched, rewards offered, but
all to no purpose. After days of weary
and anxious search, the little fellow was
given up by the parents and sympathizing
friends. The few Indians living in that
neighbor hood were friendly and peacea-
BILE, and no suspicion was attached to them
and like all other even stranger circum-
stances, the affair was forgotten or only
talked of as mysterious disappearance.
The Hopkins family at length left their
old home and settled in Illinois, and up
to ten days ago none of their old neigh
bors in Logan county ever expected to
see any member of the family again.
The astonishment of the old settlers in
and about the neighborhood can be con-
ceived when week before last a tall man
Drowned by exposure to sun and storm,
and speaking the broken English of half
civilized Indians, made his appearance at
Lewiston, and claimed to be the child
missed 33 yeary age He stated that a
Cherokee Indian, wandering through that
section, had enticed him from the field as
he was going in search of his father, and
had carried him to the far west The old
chief has treated him as his own son and
having been taken away at SO young an
age, the memory of his parents and for
mer life had faded from his mind. For
thirty odd years be had lived as an In
dian, and supposed he was the son of the
old chief, who claimed to be his father.
A few months since the old chief, then
high in rank in the Cherokee nation, and
very advanced in age, found himself
upon his death bed. Shortly before his
death, and when he knew that recovery
was hopeless, he called his adopted sor
to his bedside, and informed him who
and what he was.-As soon as the Ole
chief was dead and buried, Hopkins came
to Logan county in search of his parents
whom he found had moved to Cham.
paign City, Illinois. He, however, re-
manned during last week at Lewiston to
crafty the curiosity of the old settlers,
who had aided in the search for him
yrars ago. His temperance has caused
quite as much excitement in Logan coun-
ty, as did his sudden and mysterious
disappearance third of a century ago
The joy of his parents when he is restored
to them can only be imagined, but never
appreciated, save by those who have been
similarly afflicted and similarly rejoicd.

The following Poem was written an,
read BY Mr.. Edward d. Boylston, edito
Of the Farmers Cabinet, at Amherst, N

ton at Brattleboro, and which was re

NEW HAMPSHIRE TO VERMONT.
The crystal hills that glisten,
High up in northern air.
send hither happy greetings
10 the distant mountains fair;
mat IN the summer verdure,
Adorn our western sky,
And to the happy valleys
Ihat mid them laughing lie.
The home Of Allen and of Stark
Lie blending side by side
The waters of Connecticut
Only seeming to divide:
And these bespeak of union
And may a bond pure
Between US, fraternaIiy,
While these waters run, endure.
These hills awaken mem'ry
OF " N. II. Grants of old,
Made by Governor Wentworth
And Of his greed for gold;
VI his tthto reservations,
In every grant he made;
Only " five hundred acres"
And he would close the trade.
And how our Western neighbors
Laid a counter claim,
With spurious petitions,
In Charles the Seconds name;
And of their strife with Ethan,
And of the Beechen-Seal," /"
The impress of which many
Were smartly made TO feel.
But for the Revolution,
What mortal now can tell
What to you and rest mankind"
Might from that strife befell?
But old feuds be forgotten.
By old friends had in mind;
And friendships new to Tighten
Lifes care, with it be twined.
We have pleasant mem'ry,
That when the old thirteen
Formed the good old Union line.
Vermont the first fell in,
And truest of the true she's stood
AS she has stood before
Pledge of her fidelity
For aye and evermore.
True as Vermont to the Union,
So truly may her Press,
Like the needle on its pinion,
Ever Truth express.
On this broad and firm pedestal.
The Granite Press engages,
Side by side with it to stand
Like two well-locked pages.
Compelling all the world to own
The power Of its sway
And that, in service of the Truth,
The Press is king to day.

Chinese Industry.

A writer shows how il is that the
vast population of China is enabled
to live and thrive For patient and
untiring industry, it seems to me,thf
Chinese have no equals Anything
which needs great labor and but lit
tie skill, they can do better than all
the world beside. Ii it be the dig
ging of innumerabie miles of canals
or building of greatwalls that stretch
half way across continent, they car
do it. There are no more careful
thrifty, economical tillers of the sol
than they even the steepest hill
sides are redeemed from the waste
hy narrow terraces, and their broad
er fields are kept as tidily as gardens.
They spare no labor nor economy in
the enriching of the soil, and work
hour after hour to irrigate it, carry
ing the water Often for considerable
distances in buckets swung across
their shoulders. They use very lit
tie agricultural machinery, and all
their implements are of the rudest
sort. What they depend on is the
ceaseless drudgery of patient manual
labor; and by this alone the agricul-
tnral miracle which makes all China
one great garden has been wrought
