We poor, self-conscious ones that count Each sigh we breathe, each tear that falls, j Touch nothing but from out the past Some passion sweet recalls. I rock my babe upon my breast And kiss his hands, his brow of snow, Yet see between his face and mine The veil of Long Ago. If I should tell you all my grief You would reply: "The end is near, J For sorrows fashioned into speech Take wings and disappear." If I reproach.not, you will tliiuk "I did her love no bitter wrong, For she weeps not enough to change The cadence of one song." I ?Yet, nay! 1 scarce ean reach your heart, Though, leaning through the twilight drear, 1 breathe the prayer I used of old : "God bless thee always, dear!" ' M. E. H. EVERETT. F->r the JOURNAL & ITEM. Shadows. Down in the troubled waters A quiet shadow lies; A graceful fir tree pictured Against the wintry skies. There in the glare of noonday And in the moon's pale gleam, The wing-like branches shadow The little restless stream. Down in my troubled spirit A restful shadow lies; The shadow of a glory Against tiie changeless skies; What though my heart's deep fountain lie Marah's bitter spring? since in lis depth is folded The "shadow of Ilis wing." M. E. JI. EVERETT. ? t? I Maimers upon the itoacl. My dear Fred, ?I saw the carriages and the bridal favors at the door of a church the other day, as I was passing in tiie horse-ear. and straight- way my mind was full of the loveliest pictures. Indeed, a marriage is like spring. It is the most familiar of facts. Yet how often a spring day j is'theinost melancholy of disillusions! But it is not the chill, dull days that spring suggests. The word is fall of i sunshine and softness, tire singing of birds and the sweetness of blossoms and the gurgling of brooks. To speak of a spring day is to think of happy hopes and eternal youth, of of budding beauty and of love. And I say that this vision does not 1a le j although the spring seems often to 'elude us, and to go from March to dune almost without justification. May-day is a pretty name. But who would promise that on tire next May- , day he will dance garlanded around the pole and salute the queen? Con- sulting experience, we know the chances of tiie easterly storm. But while men often despair, yet in the : heart of man experience never yet conquered hope. Spring still stands upon the horizon, jocund and tiptoe, a smiling Hebe. In the same way. who permits the figure of old Blue-beard to spoil the vision of matrimony? Suppose that he did cut oti those poor dear heads; suppose that at this very instant sis- ter Fatima is standing upon a hun- dred towers in this very city, look- I . ing eagerly for the fast-hastening 1 brothers, and spying only a llock of sheep as she sees us placidly prom- I enading in the street; do we look with any less tender joy upon Lucy emerging from the church yonder in a white veil, and leaning upon the ? happy Harry's arm? That lovely ; pair, that shy hope and modest con- ; fidence?these, and not Blue-beard's disagreeable closet, make the vision lof matrimony. As when we speak j of spring we mean roses and honey- suckles and soft air, so when we ; speak of marriage we mean the union ! of youth and strength and beauty { and devotion which I saw as the bridal party emerged from the j : church. Indeed, there is one word which seems to me to express it all | ?we think of the honey-dew which has fallen upon two lives. What is honey-dew? It is a nat- ural question, but it is useless to go , beyond its own suggestion. What - should you suppose lioney-dew to be? ; Something infinitely pure and sweet. 1 Well, it is a kind of saccharine de- posit upon certain leaves. And when the reverend hands are raised j over the heads of the kneeling young figures, and the traditional sacred! j benediction is spoken, do you not ask, AN hat is love but a deposit of honey-dew upon life? I protest, as ,the old writers used to say, that' , when I see the newly married pair I j I | ARTHUR B, MANN, General Insurance \u25a0AO-ZEZEsTT, * RESPECTFULLY announces that he Is rue repr#* j sentative for and \ ICINITY of the following named INSCIIANCE ' COMPANIES.

OSWAYO HOUSE, (JOHN V. BROWN, Propr.,) OSWAYO, PA. 114-tf i COUDERSPORT, PA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21,1873. think of a surfeit of richness, of those roses and honeysuckles of spring steeped in honey-dew. I know that I there are withered leaves and thorns; j but what then? Here, i\t least, are j bloom and freshness and sweetness. ' If tlie sun presently rises and burns up the dew?very well, that belongs | to a later hour. j That is to say, that it usually i does. But 1 am sorry, in a short sermon upon so sweet a text, to be obliged to say that sometimes the sun exhales that dew at a very early ; hour. AVhen I saw Lucy in her j , white veil coming from the church land moving toward her carriage, 1 ; pulled the string of the ear ami 1 j j jumped out, and ran to the sidewalk. ; and just as the door of the carriage j closed I went to it, and removing my hat respectfully. I put my head ?in at the window and 1 said, "Mrs. : Lucy, don't let the sun exhale the j honey-dew of this moment!" And j with that I bade her godspeed, and j bowed and withdrew. She looked j ; at me over her flowers and smiled, j I and 1 suppose she told Harry that it I was onlv their harmless old friend 1 j Mr. Bachelor. And I ean fancy Harry saving as tlie carriage drove I away. ".Just fancy. Lucy?fancy to- day, of all days, the misery of be- longing to the Bachelor family!" But I will add for the information of those who are liable to be eon- fused upon the subject, that he knew -?'\u25a0\u2666 L,. iimilr to !m> married. When I see some of the tough survivors, so to speak, Fred?some | of the matrimonial campaigners, as 1 they would be called by you scoffing youth; some who have settled down into a kind of jog-trot life, a matri- ; mony that creaks, as it Yvere, and which must he in constant surprise at itself; when 1 see. for instance, old Darby and Joan, she scolding ; and painting her cheeks and wear- ing bonnets too youthful, he growl- -1 ing at iiis eotfee an 1 grumbling at ilis beef, and laying a handkerchief over liis head to sleep under after ! dinner, and glaring at Joan when she wakes him from his nap by sny- : ing that she would thank him not to snore so loudly?when 1 see these 1 tilings and think of all that they imply, as when we see wide patches , of dry sand we are sure of a parched soil, or in seeing ice and frozen ground we know that there are JIO flowers, then 1 wonder if it be pos- j j si hie that there was once honey-dew upon the lives and hearts of Darby' and Joan. When she wakes him out of that nap do you suppose that he ever . pictures to himself the snug fireside of the unmarried man, where, after (dinner, that potentate of his own domain dozes undisturbed,and where the neat-handed I'hillis respects his ; slumbers, and moves softly as if he i were a king sleeping? Do you sup- pose that, as Darby glares at Joan. 1 and bears her dry insinuation about snoring, he asks himself how it hap- pened that he ever married her? how it chanced that lie did not see her then as he sees her now? and what fond and foolish spell bcYvitehed him to surrender freedom and de- liberately submit himself to domes- tie gibing? If, in that waking mo- ment, across his drowsy imagination flits the picture of the day when he was the happy Harry and Joan the hopeful Lucy, do you suppose that ;he recognizes himself? That was spring, and this is icy, cheerless win- ter. But Darby, tiie mystery is clear, the explanation is not far to seek. The figures that you sec arc indeed Joan and you. But they are steeped : in honey-dew, and you have suffered : it to dry up and disappear. J How soon it may exhale! For it is not time only, it is not necessarily i age, that consumes it. It was but a ' ; day or two after I had seen the wed- : ding-party issuing from the church i that 1 was comfortably seated iu the drawing-room ear, to roll somewhere ' out into the world. It was earl 3' in ' the morning, and a young man and woman entered, whom I recognized as another Ilarry and Lucy latelj' mated. But how shall 1 describe to Y OU the conduct of that young bride? She YY'as pretily dressed, and when I I saw her coming I was glad to think { that I should have all day so fair^ % , fellow-traveler. But she stopped in j the middle of the car, and looked around with a tossing head,and then with peevish impatience exclaimed, " I won t sit here. AYliv did you get into this car? The chairs are not half so comfortable as they are in the other car. And 1113* lady flounced and bounced and pouted, and then added, "A'ou are always so stupid! A ou alwa3's get into the wrong ear!" Poor Harry replied in a low tone, feeling, I fear, very foolish, because he knew that I heard, although I looked abstractedly out of the win- dow. with antiirof wondering wheth- jer Dr. Livingstone was still at Mjuibz jor had advanced to Gnxji. Indeed, J I assumed the most Central African j air possible, in order to relieve Har- ry of the awkwardness of my pres- ence. Harry. 1 say. mumbled some- thing deprecatory of the wrath of Juno, and begged LUCY to he seated. But she held her hands in her muff. | and tossed her head again, and per- | formed the same flounciugs and boun- cings until Harry suggested that he j was very sorry indeed, but that the |other ear was not going through, and | if she did not seat herself soon the j chairs would all be. taken. Then the 1 bride Lucy flung herself sullenly iuto one of the chairs, and Harry seated himself in the one beside her. Sud- denly she rose, and said, angrily, "Fin not going to ride backward!" and Harry, rising, begged her to take his chair, which was next to mine, ; while I continued to explore equator- ial Africa out of the window'. Altet LG I furry made some remark, which his life s partner snup- jped at like a vicious bird at a finger. : But nothing could rival his patience. I thought at first that lie would glad- ly join Dr. Livingstone, if he were j only sure that the doctor would nev- er come back; but I soon saw that jbe was simply refusing to believe what was not pleasant. Jle spoke very low, and I could catch k the dep- recating, soothing tone; I nit I pitied j him profoundly. Presently 1 returned from Central Africa, aud gazed around the car and looked carefulH' at Lucy. She was a well-dressed j young woman, with the face of a , spoiled beauty. But her cross, irri- table temper was the hot sun that had so soon dried the lionet-dew from , her nuptial bower, ilarry would evi- dently try to believe it Aill there, Patient, soothing, thoughtful, he would evidently insist to himself that these freaks were but vapors of the morning. lam much older than ? Harry, and 1 turned to that sulky little Lucy and said. "My dear, while the de.w stay - upon roses and hone\- suckles thev are fresh and fair. They do not wither until thai dries. And tiie sweetest of all dew is houcY'-dew. (Jentlc hul3", beware! Don't let it dry away." She looked at me for a moment in amazement, and then said, iu a half- hysterical tone, to Harry, "There! I told you I didn't wish to sit here. And here is a craz3' man!" Poor Harry! By-and-by he will lay a handkerchief over his head after 'dinner, and LUCY' will awaken hiin to sa\" that she wishes he would not snore. AN ill 3011 like that. Lucy? NN ill von wish~ometimes for the old lover of long ;pgo? And before it comes to the hard, cold tone in which 3'ott disturb his snoring, will you perhaps sometimes passionately say "Once it was "fiftercnt. Once you were devoted to me?"

Your friend, Fred, AN OLD BACHELOR. Self-improvement in City and Country. Education is not knowledge. The j j most t hat we get at school is the skeleton of learning. The flesh?- the living body?most men create for j themselves after they leave school, if thev ever get to know much at all. . The very name education means lit- erally but the leading into, or dime-; tion toward knowledge, and a fair ; h start is all that the best education will do for us. Our rural friends are given to en- 51.75 A YEAR da, where the distinctions of color were not recognized, Osborn accom- panied them. He learned the print ing business there and acquired quite | a fair education. Here he met John Brown, who induced him to join in the crusade which was to liberate the slates of the South. At the head ! of this little army of seven-teen white and five colored men, John Brown ! marched into Virginia and the United States Arsenal at Harper * Ferry, on Sunday, October 1". 18511. ( On Monday morning, Anderson with live others were sent out to stir up the slaves of the neighborhood. By evening the Virginian militia ba< arrived at the town in large numbers, completely investing the arsenal. There had been fighting going on all the afternoon, and only eight ot tt ?- seventeen men inside were left un- harmed. Unable to rejoin their comrades, ; Albert Hazlett, a white man, am i Anderson crossed the Potomac i= the evening to the Maryland sido I and, the Republican says, proceeded to the Kennedy farm?their render j vous before the fight. Finding none oi | their companions there they marched ? on over the mountains until about i | two o'clock, w hen they laid down and slept until daylight. That dr.y , thev were still in sight of the Ferry, i but being separated from their con- . panions they concluded to make their . way to Pennsylvania. For fortv . eight hours without food, thev then \u25a0 . gathered some corn from a field and carrying it into the mountains?- \u25a0 their only place of safety?built lires ,; and roasted it. In this manner, skulking about the r mountains, they leached the vicinity of Chambersburg. There Hazlett, worn out and reduced, could go no - further. He urged Anderson to leave i him; that he would rest until morn- ing. tin n throw away liis gun and I blanket and take the stage for Cham- - bersburg. There they separated, and ? Anderson reached Chambersburg \u25a0 about two o'clock in the morning. Here he took shelter at the house of I' a friend, and while eating a hasty meal, a 1 . S. Marshal knocked at the . front door and Anderson stepped out at the back one. He overheard the . warrant for the arrest of his friend on suspicion of harboring him, and i waited no longer, and took to the ? fields again. Hazlett entered C'liaui- ? bersburg the next morning, and was soon after arrested and placed in cus- tody of the Virginia authorities, and by them, after trial, executed. An- derson made his way from < ,'hambers- liurg to i ork, where a good Samar- ; itan gave him oil. wine and raiment. ' From York he made his way to a station on the Pennsylvania railroad and then took the train at night for Philadelphia, where he remained a short time among friends and then proceeded to Canada. Canada afforded a secure asylum and there he remained until the slaveholder's rebellion commenced, ... never visiting the United States but, once, to assist in erecting a monu- ment to his brave commander, John Brown. After the war broke out he returned to the United States and lectured at various points in the country. For a year or two he has held a position at Washington. He was a large athletic man, but the hardships and exposures suffered J during his escape from Harper's Ferry shattered his constitution, and I. * . he died at last a victim of consump- tion. His remains were deposited in a vault at Washington, and w ill be removed to West Chester for final interment as soon as suitable arrange- | meats can be made. The deceased was the last of the little band, who took their lives in their hands, that : they might give freedom to the ! bondsmen in the South,? Buffalo ' Repress. THE editor of a Newark paper I hoard, the other day, that a new pass | had been found in the Andes. He i immediately wrote to a man in South | America that the pass was his, and ; he would be much obliged ifthe man ' would forward it at once. He said i it had been stolen from liim while lie was asleep. That New ark man goes for every kind of a pass he ever hears of. If he does not try to ride to the fecmetery on a free ticket, when ho is dead, we have misunderstood his 011 ara et o l. ? f*icndny 1 h spatch. I vying the of city people in tliis matter of education; and very often when the grosser allurements of city life are not sufficiently tempt- ing to attract the better class of youth from their country homes, a thirst | for higher intelligence often supplies ! a motive for dissatisfaction with their ' quiet way of getting along. There | is 110 doubt but that the r means of 1 education are more abundant in pop- -1 ulous centres; but it is 110 less a fact I | that true knowledge and wisdom, the 'tlie result of a good education, are [seldom achieved by a thoroughbred city boy. Learning, as we find it in j cities, is very much of a sham. It is j pursued merely as a means of making ; one's self agreeable in society. A man who can "converse on any snb- ' jeet" is the envy of his circle. Years I are spent in picking up bits of this ! or pieces of that, till lie who pursues this course shines as brass, and some- times passes for real gold; but the : genuine metal is not there, j It is a remarkable fact that almost all the great men of science were not [city born. Even in public life most j of the distinguished either came di- rect from tlie farm, or in some way rural life entered largely into their j early years. In the city we can ' gather from books only. AVe get ' i knowledge, but at second-hand. In the country we deal directly with , | nature; and by the aid oi a good cd- .; ucation to put us in the right dircc- i rection for learning, there is no eoin- \u25a0 \u25a0 parison with the city in the advanta- ges which a country life affords. What a grand chance for study the , j winter nights in most farm-houses . ! afford! liven in the suburban dis- tricts. where it is neither city nor . 1 farm, the long evenings are generally free from frivolous visitors, and allow . of time to the young to improve thein- ;; selves. Hundreds of the young who | now give themselves to light reading [ l of a doubtful character, or who spend | their time in lying on a sofa, or rook- ing in an easy chair, might become as l'inious as Tynuall. Agazzis, or (iray. by doing 110 more than improv- : ing the chances which the quiet of farm life affords to study ;i 1 illl ? \u25a0 reg- i ularly in the leisure time as it comes. Natural history especially oilers a 1 **ery inviting field. It is not now, 1 as it once was, a mere accomplish- ment. Ihe mere city boy. who can ? talk about what he has read in the text books, is nothing in this line now. lhit natural history has had such a wonderful bearing on the . world s progress?such amazing in- fiuence on the advancement of hu- manity?that the real scientist lms become the pet of society, and re- ceives the homage of the princes of the earth. And this real science is so easy to gain. It comes not so much of reading as of training the j eyes to see, and the other senses to hike note of the little things about us. Elementary books we must : have; these let us know what of that we see is already known. A few standard text books, a pocket lens ? ; costing perhaps fifty cents?a good common school education and toler- ably good powers of obs< rvation,are ' about all that is neeessarv to give one :i fair scientific character. Many a fannsr's boy looks out upon : the heavens, wondering what sort of ; worlds are the bodies sailing through the space above him; or thinks how pleasant it would le to see the strange ? sights he reads of in foreign lands. And yet about him, close under his. eyes, are hosts of m w worlds waiting especially for him to explore, and which he will find much more won- ! derful than anything he can find abroad. Let our country boys think of these things. They may not have I the glitter and show of a city life, but they have the substantial ele- ments of an education which is fast becoming popular; and they have' | what city hoys have not?the time! ! to intelligentl}- pursue and make use ! of them.?

My dear Fred, ?I saw the carriagesand the bridal favors at the door ofa church the other day, as I was
passing in tiie horse-ear. and straight-way my mind was full of the loveliestpictures. Indeed, a marriage is likespring. It is the most familiar offacts. Yet how often a spring day
j is'theinost melancholy ofdisillusions!But it is not the chill, dull days thatspring suggests. The word is fall of
i sunshine and softness, tire singing ofbirds and the sweetness of blossoms
and the gurgling of brooks. Tospeak of a spring day is to think ofhappy hopes and eternal youth, ofof budding beauty and of love. AndI say that this vision does not 1a le
j although the spring seems often to
'elude us, and to go from March todune almost without justification.May-day is a pretty name. But whowould promise that on tire next May-
, day he will dance garlanded aroundthe pole and salute the queen? Con-
sulting experience, we know thechances of tiie easterly storm. But
while men often despair, yet in the :heart of man experience never yet
conquered hope. Spring still standsupon the horizon, jocund and tiptoe,a smiling Hebe.
In the same way. who permits thefigure of old Blue-beard to spoil thevision of matrimony? Suppose thathe did cut oti those poor dear heads;suppose that at this very instant sis-ter Fatima is standing upon a hun-dred towers in this very city, look-
I .ing eagerly for the fast-hastening1 brothers, and spying only a llock of
sheep as she sees us placidly prom-
I enading in the street; do we lookwith any less tender joy upon Lucyemerging from the church yonder ina white veil, and leaning upon the
? happy Harry's arm? That lovely; pair, that shy hope and modest con-; fidence?these, and not Blue-beard'sdisagreeable closet, make the vision
lof matrimony. As when we speak jof spring we mean roses and honey-suckles and soft air, so when we
; speak of marriage we mean the union !of youth and strength and beauty {and devotion which I saw as thebridal party emerged from the j
: church. Indeed, there is one wordwhich seems to me to express it all |?we think of the honey-dew whichhas fallen upon two lives.
What is honey-dew? It is a nat-
ural question, but it is useless to go, beyond its own suggestion. What
- should you suppose lioney-dew to be?; Something infinitely pure and sweet. 1Well, it is a kind of saccharine de-posit upon certain leaves. Andwhen the reverend hands are raised
j over the heads of the kneeling youngfigures, and the traditional sacred!
j benediction is spoken, do you notask, AN hat is love but a deposit ofhoney-dew upon life? I protest, as
,the old writers used to say, that', when I see the newly married pair I j

think of a surfeit ofrichness, ofthoseroses and honeysuckles of springsteeped in honey-dew. I know that
I there are withered leaves and thorns;j but what then? Here, i\t least, are
j bloom and freshness and sweetness.' If tlie sun presently rises and burnsup the dew?very well, that belongs
| to a later hour.j That is to say, that it usually
i does. But 1 am sorry, in a shortsermon upon so sweet a text, to beobliged to say that sometimes thesun exhales that dew at a very early
; hour. AVhen I saw Lucy in her j, white veil coming from the churchland moving toward her carriage, 1
; pulled the string of the ear ami 1 jj jumped out, and ran to the sidewalk.
; and just as the door of the carriagejclosed I went to it, and removingmy hat respectfully. I put my head
?in at the window and 1 said, "Mrs.: Lucy, don't let the sun exhale the jhoney-dew of this moment!" And
j with that I bade her godspeed, andj bowed and withdrew. She looked j
; at me over her flowers and smiled, jI and 1 suppose she told Harry that it
I was onlv their harmless old friend 1j Mr. Bachelor. And I ean fancyHarry saving as tlie carriage drove
I away. ".Just fancy. Lucy?fancy to-
day, of all days, the misery of be-longing to the Bachelor family!"But I will add for the informationof those who are liable to be eon-
fused upon the subject, that he knew-?'\u25a0\u2666 L,. iimilr to !m> married.
When I see some of the toughsurvivors, so to speak, Fred?some
| of the matrimonial campaigners, as
1 they would be called by you scoffingyouth; some who have settled downinto a kind of jog-trot life, a matri-
; mony that creaks, as it Yvere, andwhich must he in constant surpriseat itself; when 1 see. for instance,old Darby and Joan, she scolding
; and painting her cheeks and wear-
ing bonnets too youthful, he growl--1 ing at iiis eotfee an 1 grumbling atilis beef, and laying a handkerchiefover liis head to sleep under after
! dinner, and glaring at Joan whenshe wakes him from his nap by sny-
: ing that she would thank him not to
snore so loudly?when 1 see these1
tilings and think of all that theyimply, as when we see wide patches ,ofdry sand we are sure of a parchedsoil, or in seeing ice and frozen
ground we know that there are JIO
flowers, then 1 wonder if it be pos- jjsi hie that there was once honey-dewupon the lives and hearts of Darby'and Joan.
When she wakes him out of thatnap do you suppose that he ever
. pictures to himself the snug firesideof the unmarried man, where, after
(dinner, that potentate of his owndomain dozes undisturbed,and wherethe neat-handed I'hillis respects his
; slumbers, and moves softly as if he
i were a king sleeping? Do you sup-pose that, as Darby glares at Joan.
1 and bears her dry insinuation aboutsnoring, he asks himself how it hap-pened that he ever married her?how it chanced that lie did not seeher then as he sees her now? andwhat fond and foolish spell bcYvitehedhim to surrender freedom and de-liberately submit himself to domes-tie gibing? If, in that waking mo-ment, across his drowsy imaginationflits the picture of the day when hewas the happy Harry and Joan the
hopeful Lucy, do you suppose that;he recognizes himself? That wasspring, and this is icy, cheerless win-ter. But Darby, tiie mystery is clear,the explanation is not far to seek.
The figures that you sec arc indeedJoan and you. But they are steeped
: in honey-dew, and you have suffered: it to dry up and disappear.
J How soon it may exhale! For it isnot time only, it is not necessarily
i age, that consumes it. It was but a '
; day or two after I had seen the wed-: ding-party issuing from the church
i that 1 was comfortably seated iu thedrawing-room ear, to roll somewhere
' out into the world. It was earl 3' in' the morning, and a young man andwoman entered, whom I recognizedas another Ilarry and Lucy latelj'mated. But how shall 1 describe to
Y OU the conduct of that young bride?She YY'as pretily dressed, and when I
I saw her coming I was glad to think{ that I should have all day so fair^%
, fellow-traveler. But she stopped in
j the middle of the car, and looked
around with a tossing head,and thenwith peevish impatience exclaimed,"I won t sit here. AYlivdid you getinto this car? The chairs are nothalf so comfortable as they are in theother car. And 1113* lady flouncedand bounced and pouted, and thenadded, "A'ou are always so stupid!A ou alwa3's get into the wrong ear!"
Poor Harry replied in a low tone,feeling, I fear, very foolish, becausehe knew that I heard, although Ilooked abstractedly out of the win-dow. with antiirof wondering wheth-
jer Dr. Livingstone was still at Mjuibzjor had advanced to Gnxji. Indeed,
J I assumed the most Central Africanjair possible, in order to relieve Har-ry of the awkwardness of my pres-ence. Harry. 1 say. mumbled some-
thing deprecatory of the wrath ofJuno, and begged LUCY to he seated.But she held her hands in her muff.
| and tossed her head again, and per-| formed the same flounciugs and boun-cings until Harry suggested that he
j was very sorry indeed, but that the|other ear was not going through, and
| if she did not seat herself soon the
jchairs would all be. taken. Then the
1 bride Lucy flung herself sullenly iutoone of the chairs, and Harry seatedhimself in the one beside her. Sud-denly she rose, and said, angrily,"Fin not going to ride backward!"and Harry, rising, begged her to takehis chair, which was next to mine,
; while I continued to explore equator-
ial Africa out of the window'.Altet LG Ifurry made some
remark, which his life s partner snup-jped at like a vicious bird at a finger.
: But nothing could rival his patience.I thought at first that lie would glad-ly join Dr. Livingstone, if he were
jonly sure that the doctor would nev-er come back; but I soon saw thatjbe was simply refusing to believewhat was not pleasant. Jle spokevery low, and I could catch kthe dep-recating, soothing tone; I nit I pitied
j him profoundly. Presently 1 returnedfrom Central Africa, aud gazedaround the car and looked carefulH'at Lucy. She was a well-dressed
jyoung woman, with the face of a
, spoiled beauty. But her cross, irri-table temper was the hot sun that hadso soon dried the lionet-dew from
, her nuptial bower, ilarry would evi-dently try to believe it Aill there,Patient, soothing, thoughtful, hewould evidently insist to himselfthat these freaks were but vapors ofthe morning. lam much older than

amazement, and then said, iu a half-hysterical tone, to Harry, "There!I told you I didn't wish to sit here.And here is a craz3' man!"
Poor Harry! By-and-by he willlay a handkerchief over his head after

da, where the distinctions of colorwere not recognized, Osborn accom-panied them. He learned the printing business there and acquired quite
| a fair education. Here he met John
Brown, who induced him to join inthe crusade which was to liberatethe slates of the South. At the head
! of this little army of seven-teen white
and five colored men, John Brown! marched into Virginia andthe United States Arsenal at Harper *
Ferry, on Sunday, October 1". 18511.( On Monday morning, Anderson with
live others were sent out to stir up
the slaves of the neighborhood. Byevening the Virginian militia ba<arrived at the town in large numbers,
completely investing the arsenal.
There had been fighting going on allthe afternoon, and only eight ot tt ?-
seventeen men inside were left un-harmed.

and slept until daylight. That dr.y, thev were still in sight of the Ferry,
i but being separated from their con-
. panions they concluded to make their
. way to Pennsylvania. For fortv. eight hours without food, thev then

\u25a0 their only place of safety?built lires
,; and roasted it.In this manner, skulking about the

- further. He urged Anderson to leave
i him; that he would rest until morn-
ing. tin n throw away liis gun and
I blanket and take the stage for Cham-- bersburg. There they separated, and? Anderson reached Chambersburg
\u25a0 about two o'clock in the morning.Here he took shelter at the house of
I' a friend, and while eating a hastymeal, a 1 . S. Marshal knocked at the
. front door and Anderson stepped out
at the back one. He overheard the. warrant for the arrest of his friend
on suspicion of harboring him, and
i waited no longer, and took to the? fields again. Hazlett entered C'liaui-? bersburg the next morning, and was
soon after arrested and placed in cus-
tody of the Virginia authorities, andby them, after trial, executed. An-derson made his way from < ,'hambers-

Ivying the of city peoplein tliis matter of education; and veryoften when the grosser allurementsofcity life are not sufficiently tempt-
ing to attract the better class ofyouthfrom their country homes, a thirst
| for higher intelligence often supplies! a motive for dissatisfaction with their' quiet way of getting along. There| is 110 doubt but that the rmeans of
1 education are more abundant in pop-
-1 ulous centres; but it is 110 less a factI
| that true knowledge and wisdom, the'tlie result of a good education, are
[seldom achieved by a thoroughbredcity boy. Learning, as we find it in
jcities, is very much of a sham. It isj pursued merely as a means of making
; one's self agreeable in society. Aman who can "converse on any snb-
' jeet" is the envy of his circle. YearsI are spent in picking up bits of this! or pieces of that, till lie who pursuesthis course shines as brass, and some-times passes for real gold; but the
: genuine metal is not there,
j It is a remarkable fact that almostall the great men of science were not
[city born. Even in public life mostjof the distinguished either came di-rect from tlie farm, or in some wayrural life entered largely into their
j early years. In the city we can
' gather from books only. AVe get
' i knowledge, but at second-hand. Inthe country we deal directly with
, | nature; and by the aid oi a good cd-
.; ucation to put us in the right dircc-
i rection for learning, there is no eoin-
\u25a0 \u25a0 parison with the city in the advanta-ges which a country life affords.
What a grand chance for study the, j winter nights in most farm-houses. ! afford! liven in the suburban dis-
tricts. where it is neither city nor
. 1 farm, the long evenings are generallyfree from frivolous visitors, and allow

[ l of a doubtful character, or who spend| their time in lying on a sofa, or rook-ing in an easy chair, might becomeas l'inious as Tynuall. Agazzis, or(iray. by doing 110 more than improv-

Natural history especially oilers a1 **ery inviting field. It is not now,
1 as it once was, a mere accomplish-ment. Ihe mere city boy. who can
? talk about what he has read in thetext books, is nothing in this linenow. lhit natural history has hadsuch a wonderful bearing on the
. world s progress?such amazing in-fiuence on the advancement of hu-manity?that the real scientist lmsbecome the pet of society, and re-
ceives the homage of the princes ofthe earth. And this real science isso easy to gain. It comes not somuch of reading as of training the
jeyes to see, and the other senses tohike note of the little things aboutus. Elementary books we must
: have; these let us know what of thatwe see is already known. A fewstandard text books, a pocket lens ?
; costing perhaps fifty cents?a goodcommon school education and toler-ably good powers of obs< rvation,are 'about all that is neeessarv to giveone :i fair scientific character.
Many a fannsr's boy looks out upon: the heavens, wondering what sort of
; worlds are the bodies sailing throughthe space above him; or thinks howpleasant it would le to see the strange
? sights he reads of in foreign lands.And yet about him, close under his.eyes, are hosts of m w worlds waitingespecially for him to explore, andwhich he will find much more won- !
derful than anything he can find
abroad. Let our country boys thinkof these things. They may not have Ithe glitter and show of a city life,but they have the substantial ele-ments of an education which is fastbecoming popular; and they have'
