A Thrilling Revolutionary Tale. 7 T ok f God ié everywhere. His words are in the heart. He is on the battlefield and in our peaceful home. Praise His holy name. et : It was in the wilds of Wissahicon, on the day of battle, as. the noon day sun came through the thick: clustered leaves, that two men met in deadly conflict near the reef which rose like a primeval world, at least a thousand feet above the dark water of the Wissahicon, i S " The man with dark brown face, grey ‘eyes flashing with deadly.light, and a muscular form, clad in the blue frock of the Revolution, i#¥ a continental named Warren. The other, with long black hair, drooping along his cadaverous® face, is ~clad in the half military costame of a Tory refagee. This ig a murderer of ‘Paoli, named Dehancy.. - . They met by accident, and how they ‘fought, not. with sword and rifle, but with long and deadly bunting knife they struggeled, twining and twisting in"the green sward. : : At last the tory is down—down on the turf, with the knee of the continental on his breast —the upraised ‘knife flashed death in his face. ‘ ‘Quarter ! 1 yield,’ gasped the tory, as the knee was pressed on his breast. ‘Spare me, I yielg.’ ‘My brother,” said the patriotin a tone of deadly hate, ‘my brother cried for quarter on the night of Paoli ; even as he clung to your knee you drove that knife into his héart. I will give you the quarter of Paoli.” And hig’ hand was raised for the blow and his teeth clenched with deadly hate; he paused for a moment and then pinoined the tory’s arms, and with rapid stride dragged him' to the verge of the rock and held him quiver- | ing over the abyss. : | ‘Mercy,’ gasped the tory, turning ashy pale by turns at that awful gulf ! yawning below. ‘Mercy. I havea wife and child at home—spare me.’ The continental, with muscular strength gathered for the effort, shook the murderer once more over the abyss and then hissed his bitter sneer in his! face. 7 - ‘My brother had a wifé and two children. The morning after the night at Paoli that wife was a widow ; those children orphans. Ask mercy from them !’ . The proposal made by the continental in mockery and bitter hate was taken into serious interest by the terror stricken tory. He begged to be taken to the widow and her children ; and to have the privilege of begging for his life. . Another moment of serious thought and the patriotic soldier consented. He bound the tory’s arms still tighter, placed him on his feet and t led him through the woods. A quiet cottage ~embossed- among the trees ‘ broke on their eyes.. They entered the cottage. .There, beside the desolate ‘ hearthstone, sat the widow and her | children. i

She sat there, a matronly woman of | about 28 years, with a face faded’ by l care ;‘a deep dark eye, and long blac{ hair, ‘hanging in a disheveleg state about her shoulders. On one side was a dark haired boy of sqme six years ; on the other a girl, one year younger, - with light blue eyes. The bible—an old’ang venerable one—lay upon the mother’s koees: ‘The pale face tory flung himself upon his knees, and confessed that he had butchered her hus‘band on' the night of Paoli, and begged ‘his life at her'hands. J foig ‘Spare. me for the ‘sake of my wife and child.’ T daiial &e He had. expected this. pigiful moan 'would touch: the .widow’s heart, but not one relenting gleam softened her faee, Lo “‘The Lord shall judge between us,’ l ‘she gaid, in a cold icy tone, that froze the murderer’s heart. * “Look, the bible is in ‘my lap.- I will close the volume, and let my “litt'e son place his finger at ‘random ‘upon ‘4" line, and by that you shall live or dje ~ /"% % 1 This was a strange proposal, made in good faith, of*a. mild and dark su- f ‘perstition of olden times.- 5 For a 4 moment: the tory, paleas ashes, was wrapped in deep.thought-then ‘in & faint tone of voice hevsignified his’ couselitialii laqu™ of odicl boagesaba ‘Raiging ‘her éyes to Heaven, the | mother prayed to the Great Faiher to direct the finger of her son.

- Oh! book of terrible majesty, and ‘childlike love of sublimity, that crush‘es the heart with rapture, it never shone more strongly than there in that lonely hut of Wissahicon, when it saw the murderer’s heart. : ~ Now look how wonderful are the ways of heaven. That very night as the widow sat by the fireside—sat there with a crushed heart mﬂot, eyelide, thinking of her husband who now lay on the drenched goil. of Paoli—there was a tap at the door.— She opened it, and that husband, living though covered with wonnds, was in her arms. : - | He had fallen at Paoli; but not in death. He was alive, and his wife panting on his bosom. beg b That night there was prayer and thankegiving in the wood-embowered cottage of Wissahicon. :

. AN UNPLEASANT SITUATION, John Smith—you’ve heard of him—is very bashful; is too bashful, in truth. He was born and raised in the comntry. ‘His father gave him a good education, and allows him plenty of money. But John with all other attainments, never could accustom himself to female society, not because he did not like the girls, but because his nature would not perms’t him fo associate with the fair sex.’ ;

It once happened, not long ago either, that John’s father had some very important business to transact in the city, he had also some very particular business to attend to at home, which demanded his attention, and not possessing the power of übiquity, he delegated his son John to transact that in the city. . John being thus commissioned, immediately proceeded to the city, and to the residence of his father’s old friend, whom "he found to be a very nice old gentleman with a beautiful daughter and gold spectacles. -John was ushered into the parlor, (a new thirg for him) and motioned to a seat—no, a sofa (another new thing.) ; But we must use his own language : I'took my seat and made observations. Everything was fine! Fine carpets, fine sofas, fine tables, fine curtains, flne pianos, fine everything, and especially a fine youngfady who dressed in fine silk, fine satin, and who had fine curls, and a fine appearance generally. After chatting ‘with the old gentleman a few minutes, he took down his hat told me to make myself at home for an hour or two, and left—lleft me alone with his daughter and a young mischievous boy, the young lady’s brothér. I didn’t relish the sitnation at all. The idea of keeping a city belle engaged in conversation for two hours—perdition ! ‘Silencereigned in the parlor for a short time you bet. lamused myselt as much as possible with the boy—that is, I loaned him my knife and watch key, and watched him cut holes in the carpet with one,.and spoil the other:. Idon’t know what I should have done bad it not beenfor that boy —he was so good to attract one’s at-’ tention, youknow. netil i

It is true he asked some startling ‘questions ‘occasionally such as this:“Are you going to court sister Emily?"” “but such things are to be expected un‘der such circumstances. Miss Emily' thinking no doubt, that ‘to be a good hostess she must keep her guest engalg'éd' in conversation, asked me how I liked country life, &c. She said it must be a beautiful sight to see the laborers, male and female, romping on the new mown hay on New Years day ; that she always did think she would like to spend a Christmas in the country; a:nut. gathering' with the villiage lads and lasses ; that it had al‘ways been a mystery te her how they got eggs off the trees without breaking: them, &c. - . o b fa In return, I thought,to keep up my: part of the conversation; it was neces‘sary: for me to quote poetry and “the like, which I did. Among other quotations, I .nnfortunately repeated the well known lines of ‘Shakespeare ; -

“There’s & divfnity that sha; our chde. :: .. Rough hew them as we vvig.ef9 _ ‘ At this juncture the boy who had perched himself upon my knes, looked very earnest'y ang said : 59T 9 “Divinity .shaped . the end of your -nose mighty: earus.” ' : ~ I am-certain that I wished some-’ body ‘would spank the young rascal.’ 'We talked of hills, mountains, vales, cataracts—l believe I said waterfalls,: when the boy spoke up and said : “Why sister’s gotatrunk full of ’em up stairs ; pap says they’re made -out_of hoss hair,” ¥ This -revelation : rtruck terror into me; and blushes into the cheeks of my fair companion. y Tt began to be very apparent to me ‘that I must be very guarded in what 1 Baid, lest said boy might slip in his ,remarks at uncalled for plates ; in fact I turned my “attention'to him.

: BONNER ON COLFAX. : To show how very profound and .general is the disgust of everybody at the humilating spectacle that Viee President Colfax exhibits just now to the world, we need only call attention to the article below, in which an inde_pendent. literary newspaper, of some itnr or five hundred thousand subscriDers, thus speaks of him: AHE VICE PRESIDENT AS AN INTRIGUER. * Schuyler Colfax, Vice President of -the United States, might we think, be ~engaged in 4 more laudable business -thap throwing the weight of his official position in favor of a man who was concerned in what the Evening Post ‘very appropriately designates a “disgusting intrig:e.” " It is mnot in the power of the free love writers who have championed Richardson’s cause, and’ whose favor Mr. Colfax doubtless aims to conciliate, to do him sufficient service to compensate him for the losa of. the good opinion of the respectable and right thinﬁing portion of the community which is sure to fol'ow such conduct. We knew that Mr. Colfax hailed from Indiana, but we were not aware until now that he was in favor of Indiana divorces. However, it is, perbaps no more than natural that one intriguer shonld sympathise with another. Richardson intrigued for another man’s wife, while Colfax has been all along in‘triguing for the Presidency. The one succeeded, but at the cost of his life; the other, however, is sure fall, ever at the cost of his reputation which is dearer to every true man than his life:~ A “Let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.” y :

Concentration of Political Power. There is a crisis in the movement tor a centralization of power in Con‘grese. It will probably turn on the Georgia case. The party of usurpation ha3s gone to the extreme limit of license afforded by the plea of rebellion, and now must boldly attack the very existence of state governments.— What it is proposed to do to Georgia may with equal show of justice be done to Indidna, Ohio, or any other state which may happen at any time to fall beneath the ban of the great central directory which it is proposed to estabI'sh at Washington. :Indeed, we find this monstrous doctrine distinctly enunciated by one of the Radical speakers on the floor of the mnational house, of representatives yesterday, who said “it mattered not, in his.view, whether Georgia had or had not been regularly admitted, for her constitution was one of the conditions of ad‘mission, and if that constitation had been trampled upon and 'violated ‘by the expulsion of colored members, that 'was a violation of the conditions, and ‘Congress was justified in resuming the contract for the control of the State.” 'So, in the opinion of these revolutionists, Congress may at any time resume the control over the state of Indiana which it exercised over it as a territory, wheniever, in the opinion of Coungress, the people of Indiana trample on ‘their constitution.—lnd. Mirror. v

" Newspaper Patronage. e ' There seems to be a great many different ways of defining and understanding the phrase “newspaper ({mtronage,” and as a party interested in a correct definition of -the same, we give place to the following disquisition on the subject;, by one who knows whereof he speaks. . It may.serve, perhaps, as a mirror in which certain parties may be able to, ‘see themselves as. others see them.” .

Many long and weary years of ‘experience in the publishing business has forced ' the conviction upon us that newspaper patrona%ia is a word of many definitions, and that a great majority of mankind are either ignorant of the correct definition, or are dishonest, in ‘a strict biblical sense of the word. ‘Newspaper patronage is compoged of as many colors as the rainbow, and a# changeable as a chameleon. One man comes in and subscribes for a-paper and. pays forit in-advance, and (gloes. home - and ‘reads it with the roud 'satisfaction that it is his. -He 'Eands in his advertisement, and reaps the Yadvgnt&ge{ thereof. This'is patronage. o . : ‘Another man-asks you to send him ‘the pafefand goes off without saying a word about' the pay. ' Time passes or, and'you are in neen-of money, and ask him to pay the 'sum he owes you. He fliesinto & passion, perhaps pays; perhaps not, and eorders his paper, stopped. . This is called patronage.

‘Mining Under the Sen, : There is'a’vast copper mine in Eng--land where shafts extend 'many hun-: - dred yards underthesea.

: . Trichinosgs. s . A German family living in Kane county, TIL, nine mi{ea from Merengc have recently been attacked by mci‘l): nosis, from the effects of which disease four members of the family have already died, and the death of the ' fifth is ‘hourly expected. The disease in this case, has assumed its most viralent form, and a microscopic examination of the sausages eaten by the family has disclosed immense numbers of the des'roying and abhorrent little ghouls in the pork. Dr. Green, who is attending the family, on Tuesday bronght’to%lgin several particles of the meat alladed to, which was thoroughly examined by Dr. Winchester, and found to be absolutely alive with trichinae. The case 'is exciting intense interest in Kane, McHenry, and: Boone counties, d&:xgd t:e aﬁliote? fanii~ ly are now, although comparatively unknown in this nei hborhoo;,&‘:he observed of all scientigc observers. But little hope is entertained of the nltimate recovery of the atill surviving members of the death-stricken family :

Nothing Lost—Nothing Gained. - The radicals extract an immense ‘amount of comfort from the fact that Alcorn, radical, was chosen governor at the recent election in Mississippi.— We congratulate them. Altbougg Alcorn is a radical of the meanest character, he is a southern man, and knows something of the waits of the people of the south ; and a southern ‘scallawag’ as he is, is preferable to a ‘carpet bagger’ of the character of Grant’s brother in law, Dent. ' The platforms on which these two worthies ran were equally ‘niggery,’ and om each ticket was a ‘colored’ candidate. The ‘only influencing cause that: insured success seemed to be the fact that the people of Mississippi preferred trusting a southern ex-rebef‘scallawag’ to a northern ‘carpet bag’ brother in law of ounr most illustrious president. This vie‘ory over the only. relative Grant has who is not'in- office is worthy of note, and that radicals can rejoice over it indicates that even they think it all right that one of 8o large a family can be properly ‘left out in the cold.’

DEMOCRACY AND THE FUTURE. . The present (says the New Albany Ledger), is a crisis in the history of our country not inferior in importance to any in the past. It becomes every true and good citizen to carefully survey the situation, :and correctly measure his own responsibility. ‘Since the Democratic party cedsed to govern the country, -we have had four years of bloody civil' war and four years of legislation, more dangerous to Ameri_can institutions than-the war-itself.. For it has" been a legislation that has sought - more to perpetuate: the power of a party ' . than the good-of the nation. The spirit: of .patriotism ' that- was aroused in thebreasts ‘'of the 'American; people -in the" North at the efforts to dissolve the Union ‘ by the secession of the Southern States, l overcanie all party spirit, ‘ahd the Demo- ! cratic party, though still smarting under defeat, aud beholding the fuifiliment. of, that which was prophesied, if a sectional -party should succeed, yet came up shoul: | der: toshonlder with the foremost when ‘the strife- réally began. - They believed I the pledges of Congress, that the warwas, waged for the integrity of the Union, and they came forward to sustain the administration in the hopes of a speedy return’ of peace and civil ‘order. = While they: could not but disapprove of many meas.ures of the administration in the prosecu-’ ~tion of the war, which seemed to violate the fundamental principles of the Consti.tution, yet they abated nothing of zeal in - furnishing material aid of men and money for the suppressinn-of the rebellion; alwas done under the plea of military ne‘cessity then, has been far exceeded in the | ruthless, wicked, and unjust assumptions of power, not only in violation of the express fetter of the constitution, but in the enactment of revolutionary measures violative of every. principle of justice and freedom. The highest and holiest prin-: ciples of the charter of natural rights, have been trampled. under foot. ' And cruel, lawless force has dictated measures, the only end of which is the perpetuation .of that power in its reckless course. . The reins of government are in the handsof a | man wh[ose only policy promulgated o'nj his inauﬁumtion was obedience to an un- i scrupulous majority in Comgress.. And | there is nothing so far developed in his f ‘administration, that can lead 'us to hope | that he can .rise higher than their behests. i That majority: has had a four; years trial | in reconstructing the southern states, and i we may search the annals of the world's | history, for.a more bitter, wicked, and: re- , lentless persecution of a fallen and help- | less people than the acts of Congress will | show.

They must yet be | scourged - with: scorpions, to -satinte the [ malignant party spirit that rules in the dominant power. Bat this is only one view of the situation. : We may turn away l from that view, -and -forget the punish- { ‘ment that is yet in store :and about to be i inflicted upon Georgia, and see the vested | rights -under. the constitution of mf,eryi ‘northern state .invaded, and the states’ ‘themselves..standing. ready.to be c,ru_shed;! by this Moloch of Federal- power. . Forced } by the trickery of unserupulous leaders | to appear in the list of states ratifying an | amendment thatignores their vested rights, they thus appear to the world their own ‘executioners, and now they are asked to ‘enact a law, by their {alse representatives, | which will cut off sll.appeal for relisf | ,when they find themselves powerless to resist the Federal tyranny. that will goy | ern them.
