IN THE BOTTOM DRAWER.

I saw my wife pull out the bottom
drawer Of the old family bureau this eve
ening, and went softly out and wandered
up and down, until she shut it up and
went to her sewing. We have some
things laid away in that drawer, which
the gold of kings could not buy, and yet
they are relics which grieve us until our
hearts are sore. / haven't dared to look
at them for year, but ! remember each
article.
There are two worn shoes, a little chip
hat with a part of the rim gone, and
some stockin IS, pants, a coat, two or three
spools, bits of broken crockery, q whip,
and several toys. Wife - poor thing
goes to that drawer every day of her life,
and prays over it and lets her tears fall
upon the precious articles, but | dare
not 60.
Sometimes we speak Of little Jack, but
not often. 1t has been long time, but
somehow or other we can't get over griev-
ing. He was such burst of sunshine
into our lives that his going away has
been like covering our everyday exist
ence with pail. Sometimes when we
sit alone of an evening, | writing and she
sewing, child on the street will call out,
as our poor boy used to, and we will both
start up with beating hearts and wild
hope, only to find the darkness more of a
burden than ever.
1t is still and quiet now. / look at the
window where his blue eye used to spar
kle at my coming, but he is not there, |
listen for his pattering feet, his merry
shout and his ringing laugh, but there is
no sound. There is no one to climb over
my knees, no one to search my pocket
and tease for presents, and / never find
the chairs turned over, the broom down
or ropes tied to the door knob.
/ want some one to tease me for my
knife to ride on my shoulder to lose
my AK; to follow me to the gate when |
90 and be there to meet me when | come
to call goodnight" from the little bed
now empty. And wife misses him still
more there are no little feet to wash :
no prayers TO say ; no voice teasing for
Jumps of sugar or sobbing with the pain
of hurt toe and she would give her
own life, almost, to awake at midnight
and look across the crib and see our boy
there as he used to be.
So we preserve our relies, and when we
are dead we hope that strangers will
handle them tenderly, even if they shed
no tears over them.

LOVE.

Ny heart bid thee answer
How are LOYe's maryels wrought?

We learn that Mr. Shiffer is the senior of his
wife only about two months They had a
family reunion and picnic on the 18th inst,
IN IIinkle' woods The gathering was com
posed Of sons and daughters, and their wives
and husbands, grand children and their wives
aud husbands, and great grand children,
numbering in all lo4, and this is ten short of
the whole number yet living. The day was
more or less rainy, and the night especially
50. which caused the whole party to remain
al night at the house Of the old patriarch.
OF course he had not beds enough to go all
around, with only two in a bed, 50 a bed was
cxtcmporized reaching across a large room,
into which were placed forty children, aged
from three months 10 six years. The Strouds-
burg Cornet Band with choice selections
from its musical repertoire, added much to
the pleasures. After the band reached home
they honorcd Us with serenade before re-
turning to their abodes. The music was
grand, and they have our thanks for the

OUR Democratic brethren, preparatory to
a square division Of the Senatorial spois,
met at the Burnett House" in this
borough on Thursday last. All the
counties composing the district were repre-
sentcd, and, after delibcration, it was con
ccded that the first grab belongs, of right, to
Monroe County This being satisfactorily
settled, the several delegations, under the
lead Of our distinguished neighbor over the
way concluded that good time was next in
order, and right jolly good time was had.
Amandus O'Democrat proved himself en-
rhatically the right man in the right place,
and by the time of reaching within grasping
distance Of the wee sma' hours, had the
party most gloriously spiritualized.
Rumor has it that John Coolbough, of
Smithfeld, Gen. C. Burnett and Robert r.
Depuy, Of this place, are not averse to sac
rjfco themselves under the weight of Sena-
torial honors. Rumor also has it that Gen
Burnett has the inside track, and that John 5

promise be effected by, which our distin-
guishcd neighbor over the way could be set
tied in the position. Come now, fellow

A Curiosity.

SAMUEL z. SMITH Of East Stroudsburg,
showed us two eggs, on Saturday last which
in history and formation put in the shade all
the egg-stories we ever heard. On Sunday
the Sth inst. one of his white Brahma hens
laid two eggs with limy attachment as thick
as an ordinary goose quill extending from
the tip end of one egg to the tip end of the
other This attachment was broken when
the eggs were found. The weight of the
eggs was ounces.
This occurrence is so remarkable that We
should have been inclined to doubt the fact
had we not seen it with our own eyes.

E- The detection and arrest of the
scoundrcls who managed to filch that S47 /,
600 package from the United States Treas
ury was job well done and creditable tC
those engaged in it. There could be nc
doubt, under the circumstances, that the
robbery was performed by some one employ
cd in the Treasury Department, aided by
outside accomplices, and the subsequent
pursuit of the thieves has been based upon
that conviction. The result relieves cx-
Treasurer Spinner from all further response
bility, and enables him to turn over the
Treasury to his successor with every dollar
in its proper place. 1t must be exceed
ingiy gratifying to him, as it is to his many
friends, TO know that after so many years
service, in trying position, and after
handling 50 many thousands of millions of
the public money, his accounts have been
found correct throughout.

Late reports from the flooded portions

Late reports from the flooded portions
of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois show that the
damage done to the growing and harvested
crops in that region has been greatly exag-
gerated. The floods were heavy, it is true
but they were confined altogether to the
river valleys and bottoms, where much in
dividual loss has been suffered. But the
great expanse of upland which forms near
ly all the area of those States is compara-
lively uninjured, unless it is by the sprout-
ing of the exposed grain in some places.
The growth of corn and grass stimulated
by the wet weather will more than com
pensate, in Il general sense, for all the losses
suffered The country has undergone no
actual loss, therefore, by the Western floods
although they have caused much individual
hardship, and the productive wealth of the
great grain States will be up to the usual
mark. There viii be enough to supply the
expected foreign demand without stinting
ourselves.
