A Feeling Tribute.

A Philadelphia editor thus relieves his
mind On subject familiar to all newspaper
otiices-the inevitable Pub. Doc. owe
owe our thanks to Judge Kelley for the
latest Patent Office reports" We already
have sixteen hundred Of these interesting
volumes in our little library, but they have
been read and re-read so many times that
we know every page of them by heart.
TINS new volume came opportunity and
gratefully on Christmas morning, and that
night we gathered our little family around
the lire and read it through to them. The
affecting tale entitled Improvement in
Monkey Wrenches,' seemed to touch everv
heart, and when we came to the climax Of
the little story about Reversible Pie
boards there was not dry eye between
the front door and the stable. During the
reading Of the piteous narrative entitled
Gum Washers for Carriage Axles,' the
whole family gave expression to bolster
Gus emotion, and the hired girl was 50
much excited that she lost her presence of
mind, and went around to her mothers
inadvertently with six pounds of sugar
and butter kettle full of flour, and came
home at midnight intoxicated. We can
never sufficiently thank Judge Kelley for
the innocent enjoyment thus furnished us.
The memory of that happy evening will
linger In our minds very much longer than
that hired girl ever fingers when she lights
on lot of substance which she thinks will
suit the constitution Of her aged parents"

around three sides ofthe rock into the deep
eddy. On its lower side, there are rude
steps, either natural, or the work of aborigi-
mes, by which you can gain the top of this
primeval boulder The tradition of the lie
gend attached to the rock, is rs follows:
When the red men held undisputed sway
here, young chieftain of the Susquehan-
mas loved a beautiful maiden, and they used
of fine moonlight nights, to get into their
bark canoe, aud paddle their frail craft
over the deeps, at the foot of the falls, to
the rock aforesaid, where they would sit
tor hours and tell their tales Of love- The
spot, apart from others, and surrounded by
the wild waters, with the rays of the moon
dancing in the surrounding waves, made
it desirable trysting- place for those untu-
tored children ofthe forest. But their hap
piness could not last for jealous and re-
jected lover ofthe young maiden had watch
ed them with a jealous eye, and had mark
ed their place of resort, and one night he
stealthily approached the loving pair, as
they were sweetly conversing, and shot the
fatal arrow, that MORALLY wounded them
both. The fated lovers seeing there was
no hope, locked themselves in each others
arms, and with shout Of defiance
leaped into the deep eddy, at the base of
the rock, and sank to rise no more The
murderer now padded back to the east
shore, where he was met by the maiden's IA
| Their, who killed the villain with his tom
ahawk.
A short distance from the knob aforesaid,
there is a very ancient burying ground,
and from its peculiarities many persons
| think that it was an Indian place Of scpul-
ture. The mounds have disappeared, but
the rude rough tombstones stand with
great regularity; some Of them are 10 feet
apart, which would seem to show that some
of the graves were very large. Large trees
now stand on the site of some of them,
which show that it has been u long time
since those that sleep peacefully beneath
the sod have been laid there, and it is most
likely that it is the resting place of some of
the wild children of the forest.
The Bald Friar Hill has become great
place of summer resort for pic MICS and Gel
ebrations; and from its beautiful, grand
and romantic scenery, it is II most appro-
pirate spot for reunions and social gather

BALD FRIAR HILL,

The Bald Friar Hill is situated on the
west side Of the Susquehanna river, about
half mile below the mouth of Deer Creek
1t is a round knob, destitute of trees ex-
cept some small shrubs, hence the first set.
tiers called it ''Bald Friar." The view
from this elevated romantic spot is wild,
lovely, picturesque and beautiful The
waters of the noble river lave its base, from
which it rises at steep angle and ascends
until it reaches height of about $50 feet
from the level ofthe stream. When standing
on this wild elevation you have the broad
expanse of the grand old Susquehanna be-
fore you; Immediately opposite and for
some distance above, is the Hollow Rock
Falls The Black Jack Ridge here crosses
the river, and the huge serpentine boulders
peculiar t. this ridge here form the bed of
the stream, over which the wild waters
dash with resistess fury when the river is
high. When it is low it winds between
the rocks in rapid currents. When stand
ing here, if you cast your eyes up the river,
the view is extensive and enchanting. The
broad bed of the river is before you, stud
ded with hundreds of islands, some of them
large, and many of them mere islets, that
look like dots on the surface of the stream,
with the blue waters shining beneath them
1t does not require any great stretch of the
Imagination to make you believe that YOU
are viewing enchanted ground. The falls
roaring and dashing rs it were at your feet;
the sound falling on the ear at this height
produces wild lullaby that is most sooth-
ing to the mind. The beautiful sheet of
water which you can see above the falls
the wild crags and perpendicular prccipi-
ces that jut boldly to the edge of the stream;
the fine farms that border the river, adorn-
ed as they IRE by fine buildings; the smooth
placid waters Of the Ferry below the falls,
and the beautiful glimpses that you obtain
of the noble river, as you cast your eyes
down the stream, all conspire to make the
view from this elevation one of wild gran
deur. The Hollow Rock Falls terminate
in Il deep eddy, which runs entirely across
the stream, about quarter of a mile above
the Ferry. The waters of this eddy are OF
great depth, and are in constant state of
ebullition These deeps extend about 100
yards down the stream, from the foot of the
falls, when the water becomes shoal, form
ing IA beautiful sheet ofstill water; the bot
tom being hard and gravelly; and it is
here that the track of the ferry occurs,
which was great crossing place before the
Conowingo Bridge was built. In low wa
ter, the river can be forded at this point,
and the place was rendered historical in
September, 1871, by our gallant friend,
General Lafayette, tording the river with
his French veterans, our generous allies on
their way from the North to Yorktown,
and the capture of Lord CORVALLIS and
his hireling minions About quarter OF
mile from the Cecil shore, at the foot of
the falls, there is q large rock, called
the Legend Rock; )" when the river is low
it stands about 10 feet high the falls dash

A ShreWd Old Fox.

certain Norwegian hunter, who was
one morning keeping watch in the forest,
saw fox cautiously making his approach
toward the stump of an old tree. When
sufficiently near, he took high and deter
mined jump on to the top of it, and after
looking round while hoped to the
ground again. After Rcynard had repeat.
ed this knightly exercise several times, he
went his way, but presently returned to the
spot, bearing a pretty large and heavy
piece of dry oak in his mouth; and thus
burdened, and, as it would seem, for the
purpose of testing his vaulting powers. he
renewed his leaps on to the stump. After
time, however,, and when he found that,
weighted as he was, he could make the as
cent with facility, he desisted from further
efforts, dropped the piece of wood from his
mouth, and coiling himself upon the top of
the stump, remained motionless, as if dead
At the approach Of evening an old sow and
her progeny, five or six in in number, is
sued from neighboring thicket, and pur-
suing their usual track, passed near to the
stump in question. Two of her sucklings
followed, somewhat behind the rest, and
just as they neared his ambush, Michel,
with the rapidity of thought, darted down
from his perch upon one of them, and in
the twinkling Of an eye bore it in triumph
to the tastness he had so cunningly prepar-
ed beforehand. Confounded at the shrieks
OF her offspring, the old SOW returned in
fury to the spot, and until late in the night
made repeated desperate attempts to storm
the murderers stronghold; but the fox
took the matter very coolly, and devoured
the pig under the very nose of its mother.

Glorious rose the sun that day,

Glittcring wells of mist are beaming

All is locked in silent slumbcr-
Bright, and beautiful and cold
Yet when evening comes, the waters
Leap and burst their icy chain:
Sottcned by the summer shining
Spring in restless waves again:
Tearing onward, maddened, tOaminm.
Crushing all within their way;
Ruin lies there in the cleaning
Falling DER that brilliant day.
Swift destruction follows surely
In the maddened rivers train,
Those bright spires that shone so purely,
CrystalliZed from heavenly rain
Changed into such solemn silence

Now in their unlooscned fullncss
Are the messengers of Death
Do you see in the midst of the river a SPOT
With clustering trees and the roof of dwelling
The mother and babe in that little cot
Lie still in His Hand, who answercth not
The cries of despair their agony telling.

Even beautiful still in its terrible glory,

who sold them provisions, and
have to take whatever is Of
