Twilight Musing*IV MBS. JENNIE G. ADAMS Can the loved ones now departed, Whisper words of cheer? Will they soothe the broken hearted, Who sadly linger here? Will they give the lonely stranger, A friendly heart and home? And shield from every danger. Wherever he may roam? Will their angel voices ever, Come sighing in the breeze. When the twilight shadows gather, Among the sombre trees? Will they mingle with our musing. When all the world is still? When our eye lids sleep refusing. And thoughts, our bosom fill? Will they picture all the dream land. With fancies of our youth? And guide us with an angel-hand. Innocence and truth? When our earth life shall be ended. Death's stream no more divide. Will they meet us, whom they’ve tended, 1 Upon the other side? Will our loves that have been blighted, ) Flow sweetly on again? i And forever re-united. Be freed from every pain — I pray Thee Heavenly Father! That this my lot rnay be, With the lov’d ones may I gather. Love-flowers eternally! —-- - j HISTORICAL SKETCHES. The Quaker Patriot. BY ARCOLA. Throughout the land sounded the loud summons—to arms! Hundreds of our countrymen were flocking to the standard thrown boldly to the breeze, by those leaders who the menions of the King had denominated ‘Rebels.’ The battle of Bunker Hill, with all its honors, was fresh in the minds of the daring few who had staked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in their Country's cause —yet no feeling of intimidation came to the breast of a single man, for all felt that they had a personal interest in the struggle. The bar, the pulpit, the factory, the farm —all contributed their stalwart sons to do battle for the right. Age formed no exemption! Youth assumed the powers cf manhood, and joined the tide setting towards the bloody field. There was but one class that seemed to be regarded as none-com-batative. They were the 'Friends’ or •Quaker.’ Peletiah Payne had settled in early life upon a farm in the town of Cold Spring Long Island. Here lie had married, and here he had seen falling from bis side, one by one, the children God had given him, until, in his old age, he stood alone with the partner of his youth and maturer years, a childless man. He was one of the leaders in the society of Friends—and in a pure worship of his Master his days were drawing to an honorable end. The messengers of Washington, who was them supposed to be near at hand were flying through that section, and calling recruits to join him. Old Payne stood at Lis gate-way as the Courier approached. 'What news from the camp?’ He inquired. ■The enemy is growing more formible daily,’ was the reply, as the rider drew up his panted steed, ‘and we are seeking men in every direction. Pity you hadn’t h son to represent you in the struggle!’ The aged Quaker bowed his head, as the memory of his lost ones was thus rudely awakened. ■But you are a ‘Friend,’ continued the courier: ‘and don’t believe in resistance.’ •Who says that Pcletiah Payne does not advocate resistance to oppression?’ cried the old imn with animation. ‘Who can charge him with the baseness of inaction, when the foes of his country stand at the threshold of that country's honor? I am a Friend, in the sense that thee puts upon the word, but I am no frieud to the enemies of my native land!’ ‘I am glad to hear you say so! I would that y outh and strength were yours! As it is, we are e’en grateful for your good wishes.’ The Courier rode onward upon Lis mission. •Youth and strength!’ soliloquised the quaker. 'Ay, I would they were mine, indeed! But they have left me, as a ■withered tree, almost useless! Yet not so! Why mar 1 not join the forces of Washington? Why not stand beside my neighbors ? My wife! Yet she will not bid me pause! We must see!—we must see!’ The gate was closed, and Mr. Payne retired to the duties of his farm. Gloriously and bright arose the sun on the succeeding morning, as our Quvker friend led Lis 'lOtsu, already saddled, to the gate. At the same moment bis wife came from the house bearing a gun.— With tearful eyes she handed the weapon to her husband as she said

‘May that God who watched over thee and me, be with thee still, and if it be his will to return thee to me ’ Sobs choked her utterance. The old man stooped from his saddle and imprinted a kiss upon her upturned cheek. ■And what matters it, Judith, whether I return or not. Better to die in such a struggle, than live for years in the recol- ■ lection that I bore no hand in the conI test. Be of good cheer! I will return if spared! If not, thee will be proud )r> know that I fell in my country's service! I Cheer up, wife! God bless thee! Onward to the fight rode tha noble man. Joining the leader he bad come to meet, he bore bravely and well his posiin front of battle. O’er many an ensanguined field he strode with others to conquest, and no one amid the dauntless host who have by their deed enrolled their I names upon Fame’s scroll were deserving of a prouder position than the old Friend.’ Nor did he turn back, until Washington 1 had bade adieu to his army, and victory was ours. ****** Leaning on the same gate we have spo- < ken of before, stood the wife of the veteran, wactbing the return of their neighbors from the war. She had waited long . and patiently for the coming of her only earthly treasure, but he came not. Day ' after day passed, and yet no news of the j absent one. Hope had nearly died in her I anxious heart! a horseman approached her! Mechanically she enquired of her . 1 husband.

■I reckon he died at King’s Bridge,’! was the answer; ‘I know he was badly i wounded. But we will hear particulars! in about a month.’ The speaker spurred on his horse, impatient to greet his own expectant family. ‘Dead! deadl’ murmured the sorrowing wife, as she sank overpowered upon the green sward at her feet.’ 'Judith. I am here! Judith, arouse thee!’ cried the veteran, clasping the form of his aged wife in bis arms. 'The battles are done! The victory is ours! I! have come to thee alive! Well!’ With the passion of earlier years he impressed kisses upon her quivering lips. Languidly she raised her dimmed eyes and gazed upon the returned hero. ‘ls this a dream?’ she sighed. ‘Nay. Judith! rouse thee, wife! The God of battles heard thy prayers, and bis arm was over and around me. lam safee! The veteran and his wife rest in the old ■ burying ground near their former homeThere were no children to mourn them I dying, yet the memory of their worth is treasured by many a heart, and many a tear has been shed upon their graves.— The name of I’eletiah Payne occupies no place on the historic page, but there are | those, yet living, who will smile with j gratitude for even this mention of ‘the j Quaker Patriot.’ Married vs. Unmarried, —‘You’ve no ; wife I believe,’said Mr. Blank to his neighbor. 'No, sir,’ was the reply, 'I never was, married.’ ‘Ah,’ said Mr. Blank, ‘you are a happy dog-’ A short time after, Mr. Blank, in addressing a married man said—‘You hav a wife, sir?’ • I es, sir, a wife and three children ’ ‘lndeed,’ said Mr. Blank, ‘you are a happy man.’ ‘Why, Mr. Blank, said one of the company, 'your remarks to the unmarried and j married seem to conflict somewhat!’ ‘Not at all—not at all, sir. There is a ; difference in statement. Please be more observing, sir. I said the man who had no wife was a happy dog;’ and the man who had a wife a ‘happy man;’ nothing conflicting, sir, nothing at all. I know wLat I say, sir!'

A Freak of Nature. A lady in Blackford county, says the Lafayette Courier of the 6th inst., recently gave birth to a child only seven weeks after a previous confinement. The first child was a boy and was born on the L3th day of June. The second child was a girl, and was born on the Ist day of August. They are the children of Aaron Hess, an old resident of Blackford. Both are living, and the mother is doing as well as could bo expected. She attended to her daily household duties between the births.

PROSPECTUS yh ft :hi-2 IMII.U'A STATE SEOTEL, I®, The proprietors of this establishment deem it almost unnecessary to urge upon the Democracy of the State, the importance of largely ii>. creasing the circulation of the Skxtinil. A faithful and candid exposition of Democratic principlesand policy is all that is necessary t 0 secuie their continued ascendency in tin minds of the people, and this can be best’accomplished through the medium ofthepress. Andtomaka sncccss easy in the future, our people should be thoroughly informed and receive correct inpressions upon all the party issues and public questions of the day. As it has been in th* past, this will be the continued object of th* Sentinel and tothe faithful accomplishment of this duty, its proprietors willgive all their ability, energy and zeal. Tn return we shall ask of the Democracy of the State a liberal and hearty support lu'do ing us a service personally, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that’they will tc.w broadcast, sound principles and just sentiments. We hope that every democrat will feel it his duty to be asoliciting agent in his own neighborhood, for in no way can he accomplish greater good than in the circulation ofapaper trus to its faith. The Sentinel should have a circulation in the State of Fiftt Thoisami, and itcan be accomplished if the Democracy of the State will it. With a little effort on the part of our friends, this number of subscribers can be obtained in the next thirty days. As the central Organ of the party we shall know no men, interests or cliques', and it shall be our aim to do equal and exact justice to all. Our duty is to be the advocate and exponent of the principles and measures of the party, and whoever they shall select as its Representative Men, to give them an energetic and cordial sup. port. The administration of Mr. Bucbanan will soon be inaugurated. Every democrat should be interested to know the sentiments and policy of the man of hischoice. Congress isin session and the people should keep informed of the du ! ings of tin ir servai ts. Th-Legislature of this State will asseinbh on the 7th January, and every citizen r.f the j commonwealth should watch, with on anxious eve, all that concerns our State interests. 1h« Sentinel will contain full reports upon all tlicte topics, motives enough we think to induce every man to take our paper. In addition we shall keep our readers informed upon all the current news of the day, domestic and foreign. Wa will give full reports of the markets, and all interesting commercial and monetary matters—i We will give each week a full report of the N. Y, cattle market. In a word weehall endeavor to give our paper an interest to the tradetn.sn, the mechanic, the laborer, to all classes and professions. Advertisers are especially invited to the great advantages the Sentinel offers ns i n advertising medium. Its extended circulation reaches all portions o'the State i rd all drs.-i i of the community, giving the advantage of no; only a large local, but general circulation. We again ask our friends to aid in extending the circulation of both our Daily and Wi ikly paper. Having no soliciting agents, we shall have to depend entiiely upon their good will and efforts, which we trust they will generously manifest in good works, and which we pr<mi#« to r< pay in every effort to give the Sentinel value and influence.

We are prepared to print all kinds of blank* for county officer’s use, or furnish any official books of record they may need. We hope to re ceive orders for this kind of work. The. Book and Job office of the Sentinel i* equal to any in the west, and we are prepared to do any work in that line on the most favors bio terms.
