A Tramn'S Fate.

A tramp and his companions, camp
ing out near Steubenville, Ohio, year
since, fell in with neighboring farmer
and his wife, an Englishwoman, who,
discovering that one of them was her
countrymen, took them all home and
gave them ravishing meal. The hus-
band finally induced the Englishman
to abandon his rough life and stay with
them. His wife's sister, a widow,
shortly after coming ont from England,
fell in love with the reformed tramp and
at length married him. One day he re-
ceived letter from England in answer
to one of his own, informing him that
his father had been dead two years and
left him fortune of 100000. He then
disclosed his identity to his wife and
his friends. He was the son of super
intendent of public library in Eng
land, and having in consequence of his
fast life there quarreled with his father,
came to this country, where he spent
among dissolute companions the money
with which his father supplied him I'M
til his patience was exhausted. For
five years he led tramp's life, until he
was at last provided with home, wife,
fortune, and, it is to be hoped, re-
formed and sensible mind.

Did you ever notice how things get

A Boston woman told her husband that
runaway horse was going by. He
jumped SO quick he sprained his knee,
and in his frantic haste fell over two
chairs and skinned his shins, stepped on
the dog, upset the table with books and
drop-ight on it, ran against his wife
and hurt her, and got to the window
just as they were stopping the horsetwo
blocks away, round the eorner.--Boston

, The Drum.
Oh the drum!
There is some
information in the grum
Monotony OF utterance that strikes the spirit
dumb,
As We hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere
The rumbling palpitations roll in upon the earl
And the guest
Of the breast
That thy rolling robs of rest
Is patriotic spirit as Continental dressed;
And he looms
From the glooms
OF a century of tombs,
ana the blood ne spilled at Lexington in living
beauty blooms.
And his eyes
Wear the guise
OF nature pure and wise;
And the love of them is lifted to something
in the skies
That is bright,
Red and white,
With blur of starry light,
As it laughs in silken ripples to the breezes day
and night.
There are deep
Hushes crecrs
Der the pulses as they leap,
And the murmur, fainter growing on the
silence falls asleep;
While the prayer
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and air
As heritage to freedoms sons and daughters
everywhere.
Then with sound
AS profound
AS the thunderings resound,
Come thy wild reverberations in throe that
shakes the ground,
And cry,
Flung on high
Like the flag it f1utters by,
Wings rapturously upward till it nestles in the
sky. james W. Riley.

WHITES COMBINATION. 1T was the almost
universal verdict of those who witnessed the
entertainments given in the Opera House last
week by the White Combination, that the Com
pany was one of the best if not the best that
had ever visited Stalnton. Because it was
not we'll known, the audiences were slim, an0
so in order to give our people another oppor-
aunity of seeing really first class perform
ance, Mr. Ro. Hill, Jr.. the manager OF the
New Masonic Hall, has induced the company
TO return to our city and give entertainments
ON Saturday evening and night IN the New
Hall. This Hall has been reftted, and is one
of the eosiest and most attractive places of en-
tertainment in the State. Every word from
the stage can be distinctly heard and the
thread of the performance kept up without in
sermission. We hope to see large audiences
on both occasions, and feel warranted in say
ing that those who attend will not regret it.

While the Democratic papers are denoun-
cling Northern Republicans as the enemies
Of the South, the Northern Republicans
are sending their money and directing theil
energies for the development of South
ern interests, and rejoicing over every
indication OF Southern prosperity and pro.
gress. Northern Republican papers send
their special correspondents to the South
ern States to investigate and represent oul
Southern resources, and thus draw atten-

Could any answer to the charges of the

The contractor has again commenced work
on the new school building after considerable
delay, which makes it doubtful whether the
building will be ready for use this winter.
The rooms in the white school building are in

pupils now in attendance, whilst the colored
people are as yet without school facilities
Maj. John Yates, formerly postmaster at
this place for number of years, is extremely

Mr.. VIM P. johnson met with singular and
very painful, though not serious accident,
few days since. He was endeavoring by
gentle blows of a maui, TO force wedge into

with which to bruise his own head, for all of
a sudden the wedge rebounded with such VIC
lence as to raise the maui to Mr. Us head with
force sufficient to partly scalp him from his
right eye upward. We are pleased to say the
wound is doing well and that he suffers but
little pain from it now.
