STooP A LITTLE The following story
related by Dr. Frnk lin in letter to DR..
Marther, has been often told, and is well
worth telling again:
"The last time I saw your father" says
DR.. Franklin, "was in l724. Iu taking
my leave he showed me short way out of
the house, through a narrow passage, which
was crossed by beam overhead. We
were still talking as 1 withdrew, he accom-
pauying ne behind and as1 turned toward
him, he SAID hastily: Stoop. Stoop" I
did not understand him till felt my head
hit against the beam. He was man who
never missed an occasion of giving instrnc
tion, and upon this he sat upon me. "You
are young and have the world before you
stoop little us you go along through it,
aud you will avoid many hard thumps"
This advice thus beat iuto my head has tre>
quently been of use to me; and [ often
think of it when | see pride mortified and
misfortune brought upon people by carry.

DIR. DAVID LIyINGToNE.-The foreign
mails bring later intelligence of the safety
Of this celebrated traveller The Secretary
OF the Central African Mission, under date
OF January 9th, has written letter to the
London newspapers of the following effect ;
"Bishop Tozer, writing from the Mission
House, Zauzibar, under date October 25,
1869, says; II spoke a few days since with
an Arab trader, who informed me that he
had seen DR.. Livingstone fonr months be
fore at Ujiji" This brings US to July. Up
to that time, therefore, he had not been
eaten by the canpibals to whom he alluded
in his last letter.

W ORKED WITH BRICK POMEROY.-
TALLMADGE, Jan. l.
To the Editor of the Cleveland Herald.
In late issue of your paper, you say
that Brick Pomeroy has said that he once
worked at a case alongside Of negro prin.
ter, and says he is proud Of the TACT You
then say, "now let us hear from the dark
ey."
Well sir, I am the very darkey whom
Brick worked alongside of, and if he is
proud OF it, l must say that l am not; on
the contrary, am ashamed Of 1t. Brick
was good enough in his way, but if he
could not have that, even the devil was no
mattel for him. Please remind Brick that
he owes me $40, borrowed money, at
that and ifhe is proud of any one thing,
perhaps he may be proud to say l owe no
negro. Who knows? If he ever gets in
that frnle of mind, he will find me at Tails
mage, Summit county, Ohio. I am now
rather crippled up, but my Heavenly Faith
er knows that would starve before would
s'arye before ! would again work at a case
alongside OF Brick Pomeroy. Very Re-
srcctlully, Moan PICKETT.

DIR. WIsHART's GREAT AMERICAN DYSPEPSIA
PILLS and PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL are Il posi-

branch, forever.
They elevate more agony and silent suf'
ferng than a tongue can tell.
Teey are noted for curing the most despe-

DR.. WISH A rs.
PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL,

1t is the vital principle Of the Pine Tree, OBJ
tanned by peculiar process in the distillation
of the tar, by which its highest medical proper
ties are retained. 1t invigorates the digestive
organs and restores the appetite. 1t strength
ems the deblatated system. IL purifes and
enriches the blood, and expels from the system
the corruption which scrofula breeds on the
lungs 1t disolves the mucus or phlegm which
stops the the air passage of the lungs. Its
healing principle acts upon the irrilated sur
face of the lungs and throat, penetrating
to each diseased part relieving pain and sub
DUNG inflammation. 1t is the result of years of
study and experiment, and it is offered to the
afflicted with positive assurance of its power
to cure the following diseases, if the patient
has not too long delayed a resort to the means
of cure:-
Consumption of the Lnngs, Coughs, Soar
Throat and Breast, Bronchitis, LiVcr
Complaint, Blind and Bleeding
Piles, Asthma, Whoopiny

THE WIDOWS LAST PR4 YER.

Are ye angry. ye winds?
Or why blow so wild?
Cease, cease your loud raging,
Thin clad is my shild;
And our hut here so lonely,
Is leaky and old
Blow softly, blow gently,
Or she'll die with the cold.
Oh! why are ye angry.
Ye winds, with my dove?
She's pure as the snowflake
That falls fran above!
And she loved you, when warmly
Ye blew DER the world
Blow softly, blow gently,
Or she'll die with the cold
O God listen to me-
Heed, heed my prayer;
She's all have left me-
oh, spare her ! oh, spare
Or it Thou wilt her,
That hour, do pray,
Free my sorrow-bowcd soul
From its fetters of clay.
She's dying The cold winds
Still pitiless blow
Through the old leaky hovel,
And pile high the snow;
They care not for SORROW
They shrink not from death;
But wilder they blow
Ore the dark, fire'ess hearth
She's dead closely locked
In the widows embrace,
With hand clasped in hand,
And face close to face.
The mother and child
Have gone upward to God
And. together, their bodies
Will rest meath the sod.
Blow on, then, ye winds
Ye can chill them no more
Blow wildly, and bold,
Through the old hovel door;
Ie may howl ye may shrek,
Ie may freeze with your cold;
But the mother and babe
Are safe in christ's fold

must be mounted. Two days were given
up to riding lessons, after which the
miners and workmen were able to keep
on their horses, and Saturday night the
whole body crossed the French frontier.
The miners and workmen were charged
to push on with all possible haste to the
viaduct, while the Uhlands engaged the
French outposts, who were surprised.
They accomplished their task with per-
feet intelligence and success The neigh
borhood was aroused from sleep by the
explosion which sent the great viaduct
into the air. The miners rushed out
again upon the railroad from the spot
where they had retired after lighting the
end of the train, and succeeded in tear
ing and blowing up some telegraph lines
on both sides of the viaduct, when they
mounted their horses again and returned
safely into Bayarian territory.
The heaviest skirmish which has taken
place in this district is reported this after
noon. party of French infantry had
crossed into Prussian territory, about
halfway between this place and Saar-
louis. Forty men of the garrison of
Saarlonis and some infantry went ont to
meet them, and were coming mp with
them, between the villages of Sudweillen
and Gersalontearn, about miles west of
this place, when squadron of the First
cavalry suddenly appeared. The Prus-
SLAMS fred away as hard as they could mt
the cavalry with needle-guns, and dis
persed them before the infantry came
up. Then an infantry fight followed,
which ended in the French throwing off
their kits and running away, leaving
oat nj 1aa1 81 al
Three Prussian soldiers were severely
wounded According to report, no less
than 3 French companies of infantry
we're engaged.
Prnssian and Bavarian troops are said
to be mastering in great strength in every
town in this district.
1t is supposed that if the French army
does not enter Germany within three or
four days, the war will be carried into
France.
Neuerkirschen is admirably situated
for the concentration of forces from every
part of Germany, and the country about
here would be very rough for fighting;
but if the armies couid push forward a
little way over the frontier, they would
be protected on the right by the fortress
of Saarlouis, and on the left by the
Vosges mountains.
A regiment of cavalry is expected here
tomorrow.
There was good deal of firing to-day
between our outposts and those of the
French, and one man had his horse shot
under him. Civilians have been i'm
pressed with the good shooting of the
Chassepot gun at ], $50 or 1850 yards.
BERLIN, July 81
The report of fight at Saarbrucken is
confirmed. The King aud staff left to-
day for the front.

New YORK, July Z

NEW YoRK, July 81.
The Tribune's special correspondent
writes from Saarbruoken, Wednesday,
that the French and Prussian forces are
in sight of each other and on passing
through Crenzenzell he found the Eng
lish residents had fled from their places
from fear. The French at Forbach are
s $1,000 strong. The strength of the
Prussians at Saarbrueken is not given,
but there is no apparent probability of
severe fighting there Immediately The
French are not ready for hostilities,
having commenced only on the 21st of
July.
A fusilier named Kraus shot the first
Frenehman killed in the war.
Continued skirmishing has been going
on since Saturday.
The Prussian patrol went some dis
tance beyond the border finding no
enemy. The same day some French
cavalry were repulsed, losing an officer
and 10 men. The destruction of the
French railway at Betsehe was complete,
and the viaduct was blown up.
The Prussian forces are partly armed
with new and lighter guns, with shorter
barrels, smaller bullets, and the same
needle arrangement The Chassepot
was tried two years, but the needle gun
is preferred.
During the recent skirmish the Prus-
Sans were eble to fire quicker than the
French
The cavalry are splendidly mounted.
The same correspondent writes that
the railroad destruction at Betsche was
extremely important. The line runs
nom Forbach and Saraguency to Hag-
wany; thence to Strasboug. The order
to destroy was given on the 18th, to pre-
vent the sudden concentration of the
French from the south. Accordingly. a

uplands sldrted. under command of
Lieutenant Won Voight, for Saarbruck-
en-, the nearest German town to the
French viaduct at Saarbrucken. An
engineer, with miners and workmen,
awaited the cavalry. Tuesday they set
on, 80 cavalrymen, with lines and charts,
carrying the necessary materials; but on
this night, and also the following one.
