old’’ for the reasonable consideration of
its rcadcis.
Ashes may lie used with advantage
to almost any class of crops, hut e-pe

TOE OLD CAPiTJlAN.
BV BLI NDERBISS.
I liavc a pood mind to tell a little
story. That it is brief, may be seen at
a glance, that it is true, I most emphat
ically avow. If the reader despise it
because of the first or the editors of the
Era reject it for tlie reason of the last,
then will I eschew truth in tho future,
and devote myself to the elaboration of
lies into chapters, and tlic purest fictions
into volumes of seventeen hundred pa
ges each.
With this understanding I proceed
at cnee !o remark, that five years ago,
or thereabouts, John Ainsley—or ‘Pap
Ainsloy,’ as ho was familiarly called—
was tho owner of a handcart, and earn
ed a living by conveying miscellaneous
parcels from one section nt tlio city to
another, and receiving therefor the reas
onable remuneration of fifty cents pci
load. To designate the ncciipatii n, in
the pmsicst language possible, he was
a handcartnvm, and when.not employ
ed, could always be found dining work
ing hours at ibe corner of Montgomery
nqd California streets. Ilis hair and
long heard were quite gray and his
limbs feeble; and if lie could not shove
ns heavy a load through the deep sand
or up the steep grade above him as the
stalwart Teuton on the opposite corner,
thereby losing many a job and many a
dollar, all tho light loads in the neigh
borhood fell to his lot, and kiuu-'.‘“Mioil
men not unfreqiicntiy went a square or
two out of their way to give an easy
job to *l*ap Ainsley’.
Four 3’ears ago last September, (I re
collect the month, fir I had a note of
four thousand dollars to pay, and was
compelled to do some pretty sharp fi
nanciering to meet it,) having two or
three dozen volumes of books to trans
fer to my* lodgings 1 gave ‘Pap Ainsley’
a task of transportation. Arriving at
my room just as lie had deposited the
last armful on 1113’ table, and observing
that the old mail looked considerably
fatigued alter climbing three liights of
staiis two or three, times, 1 invited him
to take a glass of brand}’—a bottle of
which I usually kef t in tny room, for
medical and soporific purposes. Al
though grateful for tho invitation, he
politely declined. 1 urged, but lie was
indexible. I was astonished. ‘lJo you
never diink? ‘Very seldom," lie re
plied dropping into a chair, at 013* re
quest, ami wiping the perspiration from
his forehead. • WelL-if you over drink
at all,’ l insisted, 3'ou will not find ill
the, twelve months as fair an excuse for
indulging, fur 3’ou appear fatigued and
scniceK’ able to stand.’ 'To be frank,’
said the old man, ‘1 do not drink now.
1 have not tasted intoxicating liquor fi.r
fifteen years—since- 'Since when?’
1 inquired, thoughtless^’, observing his
licsitutio 1.
The old man told me. Sixteen years
ago he was a well-to-do farmer near
S3’racusc, New York, lie had but one
child—a daughter. While attending..*!
boarding school in that city, the girl,
then about sixteen years of age formed
an attnrhm.Hit for a young physician.—
Acquainting her father with the cir
cumstances, lie llatly refused lits con
sent to her union with a man lie had
never seen, and removing her from school
lie dispatched a note to the young gal
lant, with the somewhat pointed infor
mation, that his presence in the neigh
borhood of t lie Ainsley farm would not
meet with favor. The reader of course
surmises the result, for as such a pro
ceeding could have but one result. In
less than a month there was an elope
ment. The father loaded his doubie-
barrclled shot gun and swore veugcauce,
but failing to find tlic fugitives, he took
to the bottle. His good wife iuplored
him not to give way to dispair, but lie
drank the deeper, and accused lier ot
encouraging the elopement. In three
months the wile died, and at the expira
tion of a 3'car, when the young couple
icturncd to Syracuse from Connecticut,
where 111C3’ had remained with the pa
rents of the husband, they learned that
the old man, alter the death of his wife,
of which th<!3’ had of course been appris
ed, had sold his farm, squandered the
proceeds and . was almost destitute —
Learning of their arrival, Ains!e3’ drank
himself into a frenzy, and proceeded to
the hotel where they were stopping,
attacked the husband, wounding him
in the arm with a pistol shot, and then
attempted the life of his daughter, who
happil3’ escaped uninjured through the
inteiposition of persons brought to tlic
spot by the report of the pistol. Ains-
ley was arrested tried and acquitted on
the plea of iusauit3’. The daughter
and her husband returned to Connecti
cut, since which time the father had
not heard from them. He. was sent to
the lunatic asylum, from which he was
dismissed after remaining six months.—
In 1851 ho came to California, lie had
followed mining for two years, but find
ing liis strength unequal to tlie peisuit;
returned to this city, purchased a baud
cart and the rest is known. ‘<S'inec
then,’ concluded the old man, bowing
his face in his hands in agony, ‘1 have
not tasted liquor, nor have 1 seen m3*
poor child,’ I regretted that I bad been
so inquistivc, and expressed to tlie suf
ferer the sympathy 1 really felt for him.
After that, I seldom passed the corner
without looking for ’l’ap Ainsley,’ and
never saw him but to thiuk of tbo sad
story lie bad told mo.
One chilly, driealing day, in the De
cember following, a gentleman liaviug
purchased a small marble-top table at
an auction room opposite, proffered to
1 lie old man the job of conveying it to
liis residence ou Stockton street. Not
wishing to accompany the carrier, he
had selected the face, probably giving
the best assurance of the careful dclire
ry of tlio purchase.
Furnished with. the number of the
house, the old cartman, after a pretty
trying struggle with the steap ascent of
California street, reached his destination
and deposited tlie table in tlie ball —
Lingering a moment the lady did not
seem to surmise the reason, until he
politely informed her that her husband
(for such he took him to be) had proba
bly neglected to settle for the cartage,
‘Very well; I will pay yon,’ said flic
lady stepping into an adjoining room.
She returned, and stating that she had
no small coin in the house, handed tlie
old man a twenty dollar piece. He
could not make the change. ‘Never
mind—I will call to morrow,’ said he
turning to go. ‘No, no!’ replied the
glancing pityingly at his white
locks nnd trembling limbs ; *1 will not
permit you to put yonrsolt to so much
trouble; and she handed tho coin to
Biidgct, with instructions to see if she
could get it changed at one of the stores
or markets in the neighborhood.
‘Step into the parlor until tlie girl re-
i turns • tlie air is chilly, and you must
i he cold,’ continued tho lady, kindly,
i ‘Come,’ she added, as she looked at his
rough attire and hesitated; ‘there is a
good tire in the grate, and no one there
save tlie children.’
‘It is somewhat ehill3’,’ replied the
old man, following her into tlic parlor,
and taking a seat near the fire, ‘l’er-
1 haps 1 may find snmcsilvei in thehouse.’
said (lie lady leaving the room, ’for I
fear Bridget will not succeed in getting
die twcnl3' changed.’
- ‘Come here, littlo one,’ said tlie old
1.holding out his hands coaxiugly
to the younger of the two children—a
girl about six years of age. ‘Cmnc—1
love little children, ,Yml the child who
had been watching him with ciniosi(3’
from bellinrl the large arm-chair, hesi-
tatingl3’ approached.
‘What is your name dear,’ inquired
the caitman.
•Maria,’ lisped tlic little one.
‘Maria lie repeated, while the great
tears gathered in his eyes ; ‘I once had
a little girl named Maria, and }'0U look
vei'3’ much like she did.’

interest, ‘and was her name Maria East

man, starting from his chair and again
dropping into it with his head bowed
upon his breast. ‘This cannot be ? ana

his arms with an eagerness that fright
ened her, and gazing into ter face until
he found conviction thus,, suddenly’

The little mns were bewildered. ‘Yon

moment re appearing, and discovering
t he. old mac in the act of passing into

lie stopped and partly turned liis
face hut seemed to lack the resolution
to do aught else. ‘He said lie had a Ut

sparkling with delight.
The knees of tlie old cartman trem
bled, and he leaned against the door for
support.
'1 he. Indy sprang towards him, nnd
taking him by the arm, attempted to
conduct him to a chair.
‘No, no !’ he exclaimed, not till you
tel! ine 1 am forgiven !’
‘Forgiven?—For what?’ cried the
mother in alarm.
•Recognize in me >’our wretched fath
er, and I need not tell you!’ he falter
ed.
‘M3’ poor father!’ she cried, throwing
her aims around hisceck; ‘all is forgiv
en—all forgotten !’
All uas forgiven and the husband,
when he returned late in the afternoon,
was scarcely less rejoiced than his good
"'if 1 at the discover}’. Whether or not
Bridget succeeded in changing tho dou
ble eagle, 1 never learned ; but this I do
know—it took tlie honest female all of.
two months to unravel the knot into
which tlio domestic affairs of the family
had tied themselves during her absence,
‘l’ap Ainsley. still keeps his cart; for
money would not induce him to part
with it. I peeped into the backyard
<>f Mr. Eastman, one day last, week, and
discovered tlio old man dragging the
favorite vchiclo round the enclosure,
with his four grandchildren piled pro-
miscuouslj’ into it.
Christian Heroism.
It is easj* to die in a battle-field—to
confront death there. There earthly
prizes arc won—stars, bright honors,
are glittering amid that sulphurous
smoke; there earthly passions aie to
he gratified—my sister was wronged,
in}’ mother butchered, my little brother’s
brains dashed out against the wall. I
am a man, and could believe tlic story
told of our countrymen—how each, hav
ing got a blood}’ lock of a murdered
woman's hair, sat down in awful, omin
ous .silence, and, after counting tlic num
ber that fell to each man's lot, rose to
swear by tlic gicat God of Ilcavcn that
for evcr}r liair they would have a life.—
Amid such scenes? with passions boil
ing, vengeance calls for blood, hurling
me, like a madman, on the edge of steel;
and whore tho shout of charging com
rades cheers him on, the soldier is swept
onward on blazing guns and bristling
bayonets, in a whirlw’iud of wild excite
ment. lint to lie pining in a dmgeon,
and never bear the sweet voice of hu
man sympathy ; to groan and shriek
upon the rack, where cowled and sha
ven murderers are as devoid of pity as

the cold stone walls around ; to suffer
as our fathers did, when, calm and in
trepid, they marched down that street
to bo hung up like dogs, for Christ’s
crown and kingdom, implies a higher
courage, is a far more nobler, manlier,
holier thing. Yet thousands liavo so
died for Jesus. Thetis has been the
gentie. holy, heroic spirit of that sol
dier boy, whose' story is one of the
bright incidents that liavo relieved the
diiikness of lecent horrors, and shed a
halo of glory around the dreadful f.ont
of war. Dragged from the jungle, pale
with loss of blood, wasted to a shadow
with famine and hardship, far away
from father or mother, or any e'artldv
friend, and surrounded by a cloud of
black incarnate fiends, lie saw a Mo
hammedan convert, appalled at the. pre
parations for his torture,* about to re
nounce his faith. Fast d}'ing, almost
beyond the vengeance of his enemies,
this good, bravo hoy had a moment
more to live, a breath more to spend —
Love to Jesus, the ruling passion, was
strong in death ; and so, as the gates of
Heaven were rolling open to receive his
ransomed spirit, he raised himself up,
and casting an imploring look on the
wavering convoit, cried, “O do not dc-
ii}’ your Lord !” A noble death, and a
right noble testimony 1 —Guthrie.
Hivington and Ethan Allen.
Rivington, tho tor}- pi inter, during the
American Revolution was very bitter in
liis attacks on the rebels and Mr. Wash
ington,.as lie facetiously called the great
General. Nevertheless, he tl light
proper to remain in New York after the
departure of the British troops. Col.
Lilian Allen, a powerful man, a irave
patriot, a hard swearer, and a hard
drinker, was so enraged at iti.'.igtun
that lie swore he would kill hit.'., and
Rivington was a little alarmed at the
threat. Allen always carried a long
sabre, and, alter the peace, down he
went to Rm ington’s office, at the corner
of Pearl and Wall streets ; where John
IJone used to keep his auction store.—
“Is your master at home ?’’ said Allen
to the clerk. “I’ll go and see, sir,”
was the answer. So the clerk ran up
to llivington’s private parlor, exclaiming
in trepidation—“Oil, sir, lie's real!}’ and
truly come, and is waiting fiirj’on down
stairs!” “Show him up,” said the edi
tor, while lie opened the leaf of a table
and placed some wine glasses upon it —
Up went Allen, his long sabre dragging
up each step. Rivington met him at
the door with one of his politest bows
and one of his most expressive smiles.
“Delighted to see you, in}’ dear sir.—
l’ra}- take a scat and allow me to pour
you out^i glass of wine.” Aller tossed
off the wine, lotJWiig dagger? at Riving-
ton. “Sir, I come—” “Not a word my
dear sir, on business, until we have fin
ished our bottle. Take another glass —
excellent Madeira—south-side eleven
}’enrs old—a great favorite with our
glorious Washington.” Allan’s ev’es
twinkled and ho tossed down glass after
glass of that reall}’ fine wine, until lie
forgot that he really catne to kill Riv
ington. He got quite boozy, and the}'
parted excellent friends. Riviugton's
residence was in Chet ry street; aud it was
openly declared alter the war was over,
that he had been throughout, a spy for
General Washington, and had imparted
much valuable information to him, which
he could not ha“e obtained excepting
b}’ violent abuse of tlie Americans and
tlieir cause.
