CREEPINO DP TUK STAIK.

In the aoftly fulling twilight Of the weary, weary day. With a quiet step I entered Where the children were at play; I brooding o'er some trouble That had met me unaware. When a little reice came sluicing, "M ia creepia up the ataira." Ah t It touched the tender heart string With a breath and force divine, Aud auf h melodies awakened Aa no words can e'er detine. Then I turn to Bee our darling. All forgetful of ray cares. And I saw the little creature Slowly creeping up the staira. Step by step she bravely clambered On her little hands and knees, Keeping up a constant chattering, . Like the magpies of the trees. Till at last she reached the topmost, When o'er her world's affairs She delighted stood a victor. After creeping up the stairs. Fainting heart, behold aa image Of man's brief and struggling life, Whose best prize must be captured With an earnest, noble strife! Ownard. upward, reaching ever. Bending to the weight of cares, Hoping, fearing, still expecting, We go creeping up the staira. On the steps may be no carpet, By their side may be no rail. Hands and kneea may often pain us, And the heart may almost fail ; Still above there is the glory Which no sinfulness Impairs, With Its rest and joy forever. After creeping up the stairs. A BASHFUL MAN. My father vu a farmer of no email proverty, with no other learning than what he had acquired at a charity school, but my mother being dead, and I an only child h determined to give me that advantage which he fancied would have made hint happy a learned education. I waa there lore sent to a grammar school at 0 ,and from thence to Cambridge, with a vie w of qualifying me for holy orders. . Here, having but a small allowance from my father and being naturally of a timid and bashful disposition, I had no opportunity of rubbiDg off that native awkwardness which was destined to cause me so much misery. In my person I am tall and thin, with a fair complexion and light flx3n hair, but of such extreme susceptibility to shame that on the slightest subject of confusion, my blood all rushes into my cheeks and 1 appear a perfect "full blown rose." The consciousness of this failing mad j me avoid society, and I became enamored of a College life. I had determined on living at the University and taking pupils, when two unexpected events greatly altered the p sture of my affairs, namely, my father's death and the arrival of an uncle from the Eas-t Indies. This uncle I had seldom heard my father mention; and it was generally believed that he was long since dead, when he arrived in England only a week too late to close his brother's eyes. I confess (what I believe ba been often experienced by those who-ea education has teen better than that of their parents) that my father's ignorance and vulgar manners had often ' made me blush to think I was his son; and at his death I was net iicczi salable for the Iocs ofthat which 1 was not unfrequi n'ly ashamed to own. My uncle, too, was tut little affected, for he had been separated frjm his brother for more than thirty years, and in that time he had acquired a fortune of 30,000; and upon this he built his hopes of never-ending happiness. But while he was planing schemes of greatness and delight, whether the change of the climate affected him, or what other cause I know not, he was snatched from all his dreams of joy by a short illness, of which he died, leaving me heir to all his property. Thus was It at the age of twenty-five, possessed of an ample fortune, and well stocked with Latin, Greek and mathematics. But these advantages were more than counterbalanced by my awkward habits and by my total ignorance of the u&ages of refined society. I now purchased a fine estate in a fashionable district, and my company was much courted by those of my neighbors who possessed marriageable daughters. From these gentlemen I received familiar calls and the most pressing invitations, and, though I wished to except their proffered friendship, I repeatedly excused myself under pretense of not being quite settled; for the truth is that, when I have sallied out, either on horseback or on foot, with full Intention of returning their several visits, my heart failed me as 1 approached their gates, and I have frequently returned homeward, resolved to try it again to-morrow. However, I at length determined to conquer my timidity, and accept an invitation to dine on a certain day with one whose open, easy manner le't me room to doubt a cordial welcome. Sir Thomas Burton, who resides about two miles distant, is a Baronet, with an estate of about two thousand a year joining to that I had purchased. lie htd two sons and five daughters, all grown up and living with their mother and a maiden sister of bir Thomas', at Bur ion Hal), dependent on their father. Conscious of my unpolished gait, I had been for some time past taking private lessons from a Professor who teaches ''grown fentlemen to dance;" and, although I at rst found wondrous difficulty in the art he taught, my knowledge of mathematics was of prodigious use in teaching me the equilibrium of my body, and the due adjustment of the center of gravity to the five positions. Having now acquired the art of walking without tottering, and learned to make a bow, I boldly ventured to accept the Baronet's kind invitation to a family dinner, not doubting that my new acquirements would enable me to see the ladies with tolerable intrepidity As I approached the hous, the dinner bell alarmed my fears lest I hud spoiled the dinner by want of punctuality. Impressed -with this idea, I blushed the deepest crimson, as my name was repeatedly announced by the servants who ushered me into the library, scarcely knowing what or whom I saw. At my entrance I summoned all my fortitude, and made my new learned bow to Lady Burton, but uofortunately bringing back my left foot to the third position I trod upon tha gouty toe of poor Sir Thomas, who had followod closely to my heels to be the nomenclator of the family. The confusion this occasioned to me is hardly to be conceived, since none but bashful men can judge of my distress; and of that description, the number, I believe, is very small, in. deed. The Baronet's politeness by degree sdissipated my concern; and the cheerfulness of her ladyship, joined to the familiar chat of the young ladies and their brothers, insensi blyledmeto throw off my reserve and aheeDiihness. till at length I ventured to join in the conversation and even to (tart fresh subjects. The library in which we were seated being richly furnished with books in elegant bindingsI conceived that Sir Thomas was a man dovoted to literature, and ventured to give my opinion respecting the several editions of the Greek classics, in which Sir Thomas' ideas entirely coincided with my own. - While talking on the subject my attention was directed te an edition of Xenophon, in sixteen volumes, which, as I had never heard of such a thing, greatly excited my curiouaity, and I rose up to see what it could be. The baronet saw that I was . about, and, as I supposed willing to save me trouble, rose to take down the volumes, which made me more eager to prevent him, and hastily laying my hand on the first volume, I pulled it forcebly; but lol instead of books a a board, which by the book-binder's art had been made to look like sixteen volumes, came tumblin down, and unlucky pitched upoa an inkstand on the table under it. In Tain did Sir Thomas assure me there was no fcanni I i ittwming from a beau

tiful inlaid table on the splendid Turkey carpet,, and, scarce knowing what I did, attempted to stop its progress with my white prMiket-handkercbief. In the height of this confusion we were informed that dinner wa9 served up; and I, with joy then under .ood that the boll which at first had so alarmed my fears was only the half-hour dinner-bell. In walking through the hall and suite of apartments to the dining-room, I had time partially to collect my scattered senses, and was desired to take my seat between Lady Burton and her eldest daughter at the ta

ble. Since the fall of the wooden Xenophon, my lace had been continually burning like a fire-brand; and I was just beginning1 to recover invself. and to feel comfort1 ably cool, when an unlooked-for accident I Ul-.ll- l -11 I 1 1 1.1 1 rcaiauieu aa luy iieai neu ujusucs. Having set my plate of soup too near the edge of the table, in bowing to Miss Dinah, who politely complimented me on the pattern of my waistcoat, I discharged the whole scalding contents into my lap. In spite of an immediate supply of napkins to wipe the surface of my clothes, my trousers v.'ere not stout enough to save me from the painful effects of thia sudden fomentation, and for some minutes my les and thighs seemed in a boiling caldron. At last, when the pain began to abate, managed to bear it in silence, and sat with my lower ex rem'ties parboiled, amid the stifled giggling of the servants. I will not inflict upon my reader a rela tionof all the blunders which I made dur ing the first course, by spilling a sauce-boat, upsetting a salt centr, etc. ; rather let me hasten the eecond course, when fresh disast ers quite overwhelmed me. I had a piece of rich, sweet pudding on my for?c, when Miss Louise Burton begged to trouble me for a pigeon that stood near me. In my haste, I whipped the hot pud ding into my mouth. It was impossible to conceal my agony; my eyes were startling from their sjckits. At last, in spite of shame and resolution, I was compelled to drop the cause of torment on my plate. Sir Thomas, his sons and the ladies all compassionated ray misfortune, and each advised a different application. One recommended oil, another water, but all agreed that wine was the best for drawing out the heat, and a glass of sherry was ordered me. The glass was eagerly seized by me; but ohl how shall I tell the" sequel? Whether the butler by accident mistook. or purposely designed, to drive me mad, he gave me pale brandy, with which I filled my mouth, already flayed and blistered. Totally " unused to every kind of ardent spirit, with ray tongue, throat and palate as raw as beef, what could I do? I culd not swallow, and, clapping my hands upon my mouth, the liquor squirted through my nose and fingers like a fountain over all the dishes, and I was crushed by buret of laughter from all quarters'. In vain did Sir Thomas reprimand his sons and toe servants; in vain did Lady Burton chide her daughters; Tor the measure of my shame arid thir diversion was not yet complete. To relieve me from the intolerable state of perspiration which this accident had caused, without consideration I wiped my fice w;th the ill-fated, handkerchief wh'ch was still wet from the consequences of the fall of Xenophon, and covered all my features with inky streaks in all directions. The Baronet himself could not support this sheck, but jiued his lady in the general laugh, while I, springing from the table in despair, rushed out of the house in an agony of confusion ana disgrace which the most poignant sei se of guilt could not haAe excited. Franklin on Practical Religion. From an Autotroph Letter to J. Tuey, Published in the Ohio State Journal. 1 Philadelphia, June G, 1753. Sir I received your kind letter of the 2d inst, and am glad to hear you increase in strength. I hope you will continue mending till you recover your former health and firmness. Let me know whether you still use the cold bath and what effect it has. As to the kindness you mention, I wish it could have been of more service to you. But if it had, the only thanks I should desire is that you would always be equally ready to serve any other person that may need your assistance, and so let good offices go round, for mankind are all of a family. For ray own part, when I am employed in serving others, I do not look upon myself as conferring favors, but an paying debts. In my travels and since my settlement, I have received much kindness from men to whom I shall never have an opportunity of making the least direct return and numberless mercies from God. who is infinitely above being benefited by our services. These kindnesses from men I can only return as their fallow man. and I can only show my gratitude for these mercies from God by my readiness to help his other children and. my brethren. For I do not think that thanks and compliments, though repeated weekly, can discharge our real obligations to each other, much less those to our Creator. You will in this see my notion of good works, and that I am far from expecting Heaven by them; by Heaven we understand a state or happiness infinite in degree and eternal in duration. lean do nothing to deserve such rewards. He, that for giving a draught of water to a thirsty person should expect to be paid with a good plantation, would be modest in his demand compared with those who think they deserve Heaven by the good they do on earth. Even the mixed, imtterfect pleasures we enjoy tre rather from God's goodness than our merit. How much more so then the happiness o" Hetven. For my own part, I have not the vanity to think I deserve it, the folly to ex pect it, nor the ambition to desire it, but content myself in submitting my future destiny to the will and disposal of Him who made, who has hitherto preserved me and blessed me, and in -whose fatherly care a d goodness I may well confide; that He will never make me miserable, and that even the afflictions I may at any time suffer shall turn to my benefit. The faith you mention has doubtless its uses in the world. I do not desire to see it diminished, nor would I endeavor to lessen it in any man, but I wish it was more productive of good works works of kindness, charity, mercy, public spirit, not holidaykeeping, performing chu ch ceremonies, or making long prayers, filled with flatteries and compliments, despised even by wise men, and much less capable of pleasing the Piety. The worship of God is a duty. The hearing and reading of sermons may be useful. But if a man rests in hearing or pray ing, as too many do, it is as if a tree should value itself on being watered, and putting forth leave', though it never produce any fruit. Our Great Master thought mnch less of the outward appearances and professions than many of Iiis modern disciples. He E referred the doers of the Word to the mere earers the son that seemingly reused to obey his father, and yet performed his commands, to him that professed his readiness and yet neglected his work. The charitable though heretical Samaritan to the unchar itable yet sanctified priest; and those who gave food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, raiment to the naked, entertainment to the stranger and relief to the sick, though they never heard of His name, He declares shall in the last day be accepted, when those who cry Lord, Lord, who value themselves on their faith, though great enough to perform miracles, but have neglected good works, shall be rejected. He professed that He came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance, which implied His modest opinion that there were some in His time so good that they needed not fear even Him. Put in these days we have scarce a little parson who does not think it the duty of every man within his reach to sit under his petty ministrations, and whosoever omits them offends God. I wish to such more humility, and to you, sir, more health and happiness. Your most obedi.t and humb.le serv.t, - Benjm Fbahklix.

GENERAL HAItNEY.

How II Captured Brigham Young In Ilia Own House, aud Compelled Ulm to Surrender a Young Girl en Peril of Being Shot. ITne Polaris.1 "You must have seen considerable of General Custer during your life on the frontier?"' remarked the reporter, inquiringly, as the scout lighted his pipe and seated himself opposite. "Yes, 1 was with his command occasion ally from the time he came to the plains to the time of his death. I worked for him but very little as a scout or guide, but hunted for him at various times. 1 was at the Rosebud Agency at the time he was massacred." "He was a good Indian fighter, was he not?' "That depends on what you mean by a good Indian fighter. He was a very brave man, but a rashly brave man. I do not think the Indian was ever born whom Custer was afraid of. He arjpeared to take per fect delight in exposing himself to danger, and oftentimes when there was no use or sense in his so doing, lie used to halt his command at sight of Indians and himself ride forward to reconnoiter. He would ride up so near them that they would fire on him, and then he would turn in his saddle, swing his hat for the troops to come on, and without waiting for them to come up with him, put spurs to hi horse and dash down upon the Indians with the bullets fairly raining around him. "Now, such fighting as that wins for an olficer the name of being very brave, but I call it fool hardiness. When he made such a charge as that he knew absolutely nothing of what danger menaced him. There might be fifty Indians in ambush in front of him, or there might be 500, and for aught he knew he might be leading his command to certain destruction. It is all very well for a man to go out and make a target of himself for Indians to shoot at, but it is sheer reckless ness. Anybody who thinks the ludians are not good marksmen are mistaken. They are continually practicing, and they have the best of arms, most of them having repeating rifles. Custer seemed to think he bore i charmed life. I have heard that he said tha; the Indian didn't live who could hit him. "Now, my idea of a brave man and gool Indian lighter is one who first ascertains tie strength of the enemy, and then, if he thinls he can win, makes the attack with coolnes and judgment. Then let him show hu bravery by fighting like mad. In my opinion it is poor generalship for a command! nr officer to needlessly put himself ina positioi to be shot at the very outset of an engagement, and thus take a chance of leaving hit command without its leader. If to be afraid of nothing, is to be brave, Custer was ths bravest of tle brave. Harney was the beg; military leader for the plains I ever met He was cool and deliberate in his braveness. but was a lion in a fight." 'When were you with him? Tell me about it" I was with him at the time of the Moun tain Meadow massacre. When he he'ird about it, lie sent out scouts to find out who the murderers were, and when they reported to mm tnat they were .Mormons, oil he went with his entire command forfait Lake City, swearing every rodot the way that he wou.'d hang the murderers if he had to haug every Mormon in Utah. He intended to give Brigham Young twenty-four hours to sur render the murderers, and, unless that was done, Latter-Day Saints would be mighty scarce around there. Before we reached Salt Lake a messenger overtook us with or ders from the War Department for Harney to return to camp, that the civil authorities would attend to the massacre business. "He thought the matter over a little while, and then declared that he had started for Salt Lake City, and he would go there if he was court martialed and shot for it And he weut, too; and if the War Department ever heard of it no action was taken. We camped a short distance out of the city, and staged a few days to give the animals a rest. and they needed it sadly, for we had trav eled fast. The morning that we started back to Yuma a young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, came out to the camp and applied to Brady, the Trainmaster, to help her escape. Her parents were English, who had joined the Mormons not long be fore, and one of the Aiders wanted to marry her. Her parents were trying to force her to this polygamous marriage, and she could only avoid it by running away. She had an uncle and aunt in San r rancisco, and to them she wanted to go. "Brady wasn t the man to say no under such circumstances, but he stored her away in the flour wagon by piling the barrels around her in such a way that she could Vt be seen from either end. e hadn t e ne far before a dozen Mormons overtook us, the girl's father being along with them, and they went through that train until they found the girl. After they had got her out. she turned to Brady and bade him good-by, at the same time thanking him for trying to lielpner. rbat, of course.gave turn dead away, and the Mormons arrested him for kidnap ping the girl, and they al. went toward the city. Harney saw that there was something wrong with the train, and back came a messenger to fee what was the matter. As soon as Harney was informed of what had occurred he ordered the train to halt and stay there until he got back, and away he and all the troops went for the Mormons. They had a long start of him, however, and reached the city first. Do you suppose Harney stopped when he reached the city? Not bit of it Right up the main street he went at a gallop, and when he jumted from his horse and cried, 'Halt!' it was right in front of Brigham's office. There was a guard on duty there with a musket and fixed bayonet, but as he brought his weapon to a charge, Harney gave it a kick: that turned the guard half round, and the next instant he was disarmed. Harney strode into the office with a half dozen soldiers at bis heels, and two minutes later Brigham wis a-straddle of a horse and galloping down the street in the centre of a troop of cavalry. "It was fun to see the Mormons stare as they saw the old man in such company, but before they could have time to act we were out of the city. About five miles out Harney ordered a halt, and it wasn't long before a lot of Mormons came up riding as fast as theirhorses could carry them. When they got within sound of his voice, Harney ordered them to halt or he would fire on them, and they halted. Then he ordered Brigham to tell them to go back to the city and bring Brady and the girl back with them, and said he to Brigham: 'If they are not here within two hours Til fill your carcass full of Government lead!' 44 4You don't dare to,' savs Brigham. " 'Why,' savs Harney, 'I'll shoot you my self! Long before the two hours were up Brady and the girl were there, and when we got to Yuma, Harney sent a guard with her to San Bernardino, on her way to San Francisco. That's the kind of a man Harney was." ,4No," said the clergyman, 4 1 did not swear when I fell from the horae car and got mud on my clothes and in my mouth. But I learned not to think too harshly of the nr an who under similar circumstances did." SOCIETY DIRECTORY. United Brothers of Friendship.
