We’ll select the fairest flowers, Sparkling with gems of dew— And cull from nature’s bowers, Wild flowers of every hue. A garland we will twine, Os flowerets rich and rare : The rose and lilly we’ll combine, To deck thy brow so fair. The brightest'flowers of early Spring— Crocus and Cow slip gay- We'll bear t hem as an offering, And strew them in thy way. Fairy sprite, whence comest thou! Where hast thou been so long? Faint echo answers even now, From the bright land of song. Gentle Queen, whence comest thou, To dissipate all gloom? Faint echo answers even now— Whence flowers ever bloom.

FI'RTY A'KARS TV TIIK WILDERNESS—TIIE Hermit llrri'er and Ills History— Ruined and Heart broken— A Vcw rth okkn Only by Death. There il ed recently near Ringtown, Schuylkill county, Pehn , a man named Harper, who for many years had passed -bit. lire among the mountains oftiiscoun ty. The first appearance ho made in this region was over forty years ago, at Went Penn township, in Schuylkill conn ty, and there in an unfrequented epot, he built a lint, shutting himself out from communication with the outside world. How he lived, who or what he was, no one know. Young men grew up to old age, died and passed away, and etill Harper remained in his lint. After a while a rujr or came to the village of West P*-tin that the hermit was dead. An investigation, however, revealed nothing else than that the hut was deserted by its long time occupant. A short time after there appeared a qneor old man with long, snowy locks and beard, belli form and wrinkled visage. lie pur chased a few groceries in Ringtown, and th*n disappeared. Alter a few months he again went to the village, made a milar pnrchaeo arid again went away. Flo was followed, and in a deep and damp cave, in a rocky gorge of the mountains, bis habitation was fonnd. The deep snow and severe winter weather com pelled the old man to leave his mountain home, and wander over into Columbia county, be found shelter with a farmer, when in a few days he died, and on bis death lied be narrated the following : harper’s history. ' His name was James Harper. When ! lie died be was within a lew weeks of i reaching the eightieth anniversary of his birth. Between forty and fifty years ! ago he was the senior partner of Harper & Bro, "hardware merchants. Market street, Philadelphia. His brother was some years his and their firm Stood among the leadingones of the city They lived in fine style in Chestnut street, and' neither of them being mat tied, their | only sister superintended their household i affairs. About the year 1835 James I Hdfcer went to Europe, leaving the bus hires in charge of his-brother, in whom he placed the utmost confidence. He spent two years travelling in the old i c untry, during which time he married ; an accomplished, beautiful and young English lady, a member of one ibe leading families. For some months previous to his departure from London to | return home. Mr. Harper had not heard j from'his brother—his letters which had I been regular and cheering, suddenly j ceased. Apprehension ol something wrong, the senior partner determined to | forego further saunteringn in Europe, i and shortly after his marriage, embark led for Pbilade'pbia, accompanied by bis i bride. When the voyage was about j half over, and the despondency that had ■ seized Mr. Harper when he left London j had been somewhat dispel kid, the small- I pox broke out among some emigrant families in the steerage. The plague 1 spread to the cabin passengers, and | among the first victims was the young wife of Mr. Harper, who died in the I greatest agony, and whose body was | cast into the sea. This was the first thrust into the heart of the returning rnerebaut, and prepared him for others I that awa ted him. After lying in qnar -1 antine some time after reaching port, the 1 passengers of the plague-stricken ship j were permitted to land. A few honrs afterwards Mr. Harper 1 learned that be was a ruined man. His HERE SHALL THB PRESS THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY FEAR AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN ■ QUITMAN, GEO., APRIL 3, 1873. brother, shortly alter he went to Europe, fell into dissolute habits, and in .1 year and a half had driven the firm into bank ruptcy, and in a fit of desperation blew out his brains in a gambling hell. The sister died in a few weeks of grief, and the property of the firm was ail sold by the sheriff. Mr. Harper found himself without a dollar or a single relative, and barely, a friend, where he had left a prosperous business, a happy home, and hundreds of flattering acquaintances. Overwhelmed with misfortune, broken hearted and deserted, lie determined to put himself forever away from all con tact with the woild, and liye alone with liis bitterness. He kept his vow sacred- j ly until he knew that death "was steal ing upon him, wl en he fe't that he would like to close his eyrs upon the world, smrnundcd, if possible, by fellow being# who would minister to his last wants and give, him Christian burial. VVliat must have been the weight of the sorrow that sat upon the unfortunate man’s soul to induce him to forsake the world and its manifold blessings and live in bitter solitude, alone with his misery, during an ordinary lifetime ? liis case certainly has no known parallel in the history of our race. DOG FIGHTsYn THE VVEST. There is at Ihe present time of writ ting a member of the House whose fath er was us renowned in his day and way as the far famed Davy Crockett, of pleas ant memory. We will call him ‘ Uncle John.” IJucle John lived and moved in these parts forty years age. Cards, race horses and dog fights were Ids chief delight. Few men could beat him at a game of “old sledge'” Ilis horses had lightning to their heels; while his dogs (hull dogs and fighting dogs were fash ionable those days—they were the gen ■ nine “dog-day’) carried theswilt arrows of death in their bristling fangs. Hot it is seldom given unto one man to excel in three pursuits at one time and in all places. However, in respect of cards, horses and dogs, Uncle John never mot his match until the fates took him to j Sparta, then, as now a flourishing little village in White county. Even then be beat everything in sight as far as his cards and horses were concerned, but bis dogs were badly worsted. The Sparta innkeeper bad the king dog of all his tribe—a ferocious "hull”that 'chaw ed up and spit ’out” everything that carpc along. Uncle John put up FIFTY DOLLARS IN STRCIK on his own "Tige," but jt Tige had gone through a Cincinnati sausage-grinder he could scare ly have looked more rag- ! ged than he did when he carnn out. Ah ! went the first, so followed the second, faster and faster, till it seemed unmerci ful disaster had overtaken Uncle John in the dog line at last. He travelled many weary miles in search ot a dog that could whip that tavern keepers dog, but all to no purpose. He was losing his money fast, and worse than that, he was losing his temper and his patience Faith in the motto ‘try, try again,’ had almost deserted him. Ho went out on what lie avowed was his last hunt, and was nearing Sparta on his return late %ne afternoon, gloomy and dejected, lor he hadn't found the right* annual yet, just as lie got within a few miles of that inn which had been the scene ot so ma ny disgraceful defeats, lie met a back woodsman driving an ox to m with a great, vicious looking wall chained be hind the wagon. THE RtOIIT DOC AT LA T. lie was not long ascertaining that the wolf was as wild and as savage as a hy ena; that he had an li mr before taken in a trap, and that his owuer Could he in duced to part with him for a valuable consideration. ‘l’ll give you two dollars and a half in hard money for that critter,’ proposed Uncle John. •Not enough yet,’said backwoods, 'Well,’ said Uncle John, finally, ‘if you'll just help me to strap him behind j iny saddle and will take five dollars, it’s I a trade.’ Arid they traded ‘lf I don’t whip thatd—d tavern keeper’s dog this muttered Uncle John to himself as he drew toward Sparta, ‘he may take my j hat for a corn basket.’ | As it was quite dark when 0111 hero j reached the inu, he cautiously unstrap ped the terrible beast, and pitching him into a deserted outhouse which fortn nate'y, stood hard by, and fastening him securely, entered the hotel. #HE CHALLENGE. •I think I have found a dog that can cttawyonr’n this time,’ remarked Uncle John to the major dorao, after pasing the usual salutations. ‘You really think you have him at last,’chuck led the master of the king of dogs, and tipping a sly wink at the crowd. ‘Well, what do you say to letting ’em together in the morning?’ “All right,’ said Uncle John. ‘l’m bound to be off mighty airly in ttie morn ing,’ but if you will lie ready directly af ter breakfast, I won’t mind giving you just cno tnrn, anyhow.’ The rumor soon spread through the village of Sparta that a great and% fight was to come off next day hy sunrise, and the whole vicinity was on the qui ! u ive. Our hero explained that his dog i was so vigrus that he was con.polled to 1 keep him closely confined. ‘Blamed,’ said he, ‘if 1 bleove he knows his master yit.’ So it was arranged that his dog was to remain in the outhouse—an old crib or barn, by the way—and that the | other dog wan to be unchained and turn ed in with him at a given signal. By daylight everybody was up and ready i for the fray. The old barn in which Un cle John’s dog was shut up was dark at that hour and only his outlines—just enough to indicate that it was “a sho nuflf dog”—could be detected. Bets ran high— the onr.B being all in favor of the great victor In so many hotly.contested fights. Uncle John staked a round hundred against a like sum of the inkeeper’s. Time was called, and the ferocious bttll-dog sniffed iiis antagonist through the cracks of the old barn, growled defiance for a moment, and when unchained and the window opened, he lit in at a single bound. Ah! then and there was hurrying to and fro and flying fur, and sputterings of distress an 1 cheeks all pale, which but an hour ago flushed with a quart of rum or something less. Men, women and children were outside running round the crib, trying to peep in through the cracks and crevices. Such a spattering, sputtering, growling, yelling, gnashing of teeth, and cater wauling has never been heard in Sparta from that day to this. The tavern keeper excitedly sag gested that "forty wolves couldn’t make more fuss than them two dogs.” Uncle John waited the issue with the calm dig nity ol one conscious that lie holds four aces in liis hand and ti e fifth up liis sleeve; the only cool man on the ground. But it didn't Inst long. Sooner than it takes to tell it. a faint whine was heard at the window, the shutter was thrown open and WItAT WAS LKrt 1 of poor “Bull” struggled heavily to the sill and fell in a raw' lump to the ground on the outside. This was the first and last time lie ever turned his back on an enemy; lie made otic or two nervous kicks and all was over. He was a shocking plight indeed; minus one ear, one eye, and the greater part of his ‘ in nards,” He might have passed through a threshing mach’ne and fared better. Uncle John hastily snatched the wager from the stakeholder, mounted liis horse and rode oft'in a sweeping gallop, yelling at •nine host as he bid him adieu that, “Whenever lie h and any more filin’ dogs, to please let him know.” flow long the wolf remained, in that crib us monarch of all he surveyed, or how long ‘Bull’s’ master was in finding out the nature of the dog that sent his favorite to Ids last nceonnt is not pre cisely staled; but it is said that when ho became billy conscious of t*e facts as they existed, his neighbors heard him swearing for a distance of two miles. He took ol liis coat, rolled up his sleeves, mounted a stump, and gave utterance to such maledictions as were never heard before, iiis character as a dog fightist gone, his dog gone, and Uncle John gone (never to return) stirred the deep foun dation of his inmost bile. It is stated as a fact that he never smiled again; and all any one had to do to get up the big gest sort of a rumpus was just to ask that Spartan it he had any mure dogs that he’d like to bet on. Trade lu Human Dolls. The continued trade by the lurks in Circassian women is creating public re mark. This modified form of the slave trade in the East has been carried on in a very quiet and secret manner of late, out of re pect to the progress of ideas and growtli ofgeneral civilization. Ti c beauty' of the Circassian girls has pass ed into a proverb, and has attracted a romantic interest to their country; of course it ,is no news to our readers that the haiemsof the east arc supplied with these beautiful dolls from the regions of country ahuiit the Caucasian mountains lying between the Black and Caspian »eaa. The province of Georgia, on the South ern side oftlio mountain range, is the section from which these female slavi s are brought to market. Modern wri ters adopted the Caucasian as the high est type of the human race, and perhaps Nt is so in a physical point of view, and under favorable circumstances it may be also susceptible of the highest moral . and intellectual development. In the home of its birth, however, it does not present any very encouraging traits, either moral, social or intellectual. There is little disguise or secrecy about the matter in Circassia; its daugh ters arc very generally reared for sale in foreign markets, and symmetry of form, fairness of complexion and beauty of feature arc regarded and encouraged simply as available qualities for com manding a price. With very few ex ceptions, parental or fraternal affection j lias in part or lot in the matter, the ou i ly thought being that the young female ; may please the eye of tho Jew purchaser, ! aud thus produce, a handsome price in ' gold. Domestic life, as we regard the I idea, has no existence among these prev fnci s. I The people are coarse in their habits, do but little ill cultivating the soil, plun der their neighbors whenever this is possible, live in ill-constructed and con tracted hovels and eat only the coarsest i food. Under such circumstances as these it is not strange that the females do not object, to being sold, but rather antici pate the event witti pleasure, as a oer ' tain prospect of bettering their condition. Os course, the traditions and stories which are told to them encourage all to have the firpe of becoming wives of pa chas and grandees. The romantic vein ol their natures is thus cultivated to tho necessary point which leads to their placid acceptance of the situation, let it be what it may. The singular results, growing out of these experiments, lead to stories equaling- the ‘Arabian Nights’ in vivid coloring and portraiture. The tiade has long since been inter dicted by the Turkish Government un der the pressure of Christian influeno“, yet it is known to bo carried on in a very covert manner and to a very large extent. The price paid in the market lor these females of course varies acsor- j ding to their attractions, but it is set down at an average of fair or five hun dred dollars each. I’ers nal beauty is all that is considered in this trade, Intel .’octual culture boing not only out of place, but also out of the question. What little is known or professed of re ligion is Maliomedlin, though the tenets of the Greek Church are sometimes adopted. All must, however, become Mahomcdan by profession before sale and entrance to the harem, as the Turk is always sensitive in all matters relat ing to his religion. Marriageable Women* One of the great social problems of'tlie day is to explain why there arc so many marriageable women who never get mar ried. Some say that it is owing to an excess in numbers of women over men, in consequence of which there are not husbands enough to go round. This, however, is disproved by statistics Take the world thr ugh, and the figures show that there are as many men in it as there are women. Others attribute it to the expensiveness cf modern life. Men do not marry because, it is said they can not afford ff>. But the fact is, that no mail who truly loved a woman ever hrs itated to become engaged to her and e ventually marry her because of poverty. There are cold-blooded men, with no idea of any feeling for a woman stronger than a languid admiration, who may be de terred from assuming what they regard a burden in the shape of a wife, unless assured of a liberal income; but most are not so calculating. Other#, again, at tribute the evil to woman’s fastldionsri -ss. They expect too much in a husband, and, while watting for an impossible shadow, let the possible substance slip through theii fingers. This is a libel ori the sex. Asa rule, they are no more fastidious than men are, and are just as suscepti ble as men to that enchantment of love which invests its object with every per fection, and covers up every fault. So far as men and women themselves are concerned, they are ns prone to marriage now as - in auy period of the world's his tory Nevertheless, there the women are wanting for husbands, and not get ting them. Every social circle is full of them. They are.pretty, they are ac complished, they are sensible, and under proper Gaining they would make excel lent wives and mothets; but they never get a chance. What seems to bo needed is a more tnorough method of bringing men and women into social contact with each otln r. Ati Indian “Big Sweat.” A correspondent ol San Francisco pa per has been visiting the Modocs and reports the following : The Indian family consisted of a stal wart brave, a woman twenty two years of age, not his wife, a young gill of sev enteen, and one of-twelve, and several other little Indians of both sexes. There was also a weak old man in the hut, wlio was the father of a large portion of this family. The Btahvart bravo and Kiltie, the twenty-two year old woman, bad a consultation, and then told the yisitor to stay and see them all take a "liig sweat.” To this he agreed. The brave placed a pile of dry wood around a loose flat rook, which lay about twenty yards from the hut, and heated the rock nearly to redness. Ho then swept the coals away and erected a close tent over the rock. The tent was of tonic matting, and so closely woven as to bo impervious to either air or water. When everything was ready he shout ed and ran into the tent, w-hitc .’the cor respondent tat on a rock near by, with his feet ir. the snow,, wondering what was coming. Presently the brave emerged from the tent in a state of na ture, followed by all the other Indians, male and leina'e, except ttie old man. The women and girls wore a very s oil, thin skirt, arid nothing else. Tney all bounded into the sweat tent and closed the flap tightly and began to dance and howl. In about ten minutes the ‘Ceremonies inside tho tent ceased, and all was quiet. The correspondent supposed the occu parity were all r lasted. This was nos the case, for the brave somt appear'd through tho flap, followed by the others, all streaming with perspiration, and ran whooping toward a river which was near. The women loosened their skirts as they ran, and, throwing them asioe on tho bank of the stream, all plunged head foremost into the ice-cold water. itie sweat was over, and ttie correspondent thought il Wou and be polite for him to re tire before the Indian family emerged fi,ora their cold batl i s This beats either toe Russian or Tuik'sh process. The Indians call il their “B g Sweat” and set great store by it, especially in the win ter. [52.00 per Annum NO. 14 I Man Aftelllptinetn KatllisOtvn ftlotlier. Enn'kskiViu.r, Irei.and, Feb. 13. A horrible scene of cannibalism wag | enacted in Tralee a few days ago. The i principal actor in it was a pig' jobber | who had long been completely absorbed I in the gratification of animal passions and desires. Relationship and consan guinity mattered not; to his mind man kind must have appeared a ‘swinish mul titude;’and whether made bacon of or not, with a total disregard for particu larity in this respect, it mattered not whether tbe article was coked or oth erwise. Well, this two footed brute • came homo drunk to his poor old moth- I er, who has passed the allotted 'three score years and ten,’ and the old crea ture remonstrated with him. A vow en sued, in which the mother was knocked down on the floor, -and by sheer force one of her legs was broken in two places. This not satisfying him, he commenced to eat the fl sh off her arm. A watch man named Mara, who was passing at the time, was attracted by the woman’s screams to tlio house, and on Mara for cing open the door ho saw him actually eating the flesh, as if he had a taste fir it The watchman not bein,f able to rescue the poor creature from his sav age gluttony, he sent off for another watchman, and on their returning to the house he was at the same inhuman feast and his face and breast were all smear ed with blood. Word was sent to the police, and the night parole on coming to the house secured him. The coolness of the ruffian was extraordinary, for ho had the audacity to prefer a charge of assau’t against Mara for attempting to make him desist when he first eutered and saw the horrible repast he was in dulging in. The poor woman was con veyed to the county infirmary and placed under the care of Dr . Lawlor, where, on examination, her body was found to bo terribly lacerated; the bone of one arm up to the elbow was quite bare of flesh, and the Binewi sos the other were quito exposed. It is thought she can hardly survive the treatment of her cruel son. Her depositions werrf ot course taken, and the prisoner, who had been in tlio Btidwell, was transferred to the county jail for trial at the {assizes. G'orrenpon* donee N. Y. World. freezing to Death. That to be frozen to "death must ho a frightful torture many would consider certain from their own experience of the effects of cold. But here we fall into the usual error supposing that the suf fering would increase with the energy , f the agent, which could only he the case if the sensibility remained tho same. Intense cold brings on speedy sleep, which fascinates the senses and fairly beguiles men out of their lives. Tho most curious example of the seductive pow6r of cold is to be found in the ad ventures of tho bothnica! party, who, in Cook’s first voyage, were caught ill a snow storm on Terra del Fuego. Dr. Solander, by birth a Swede, and well ac quainted with the destructive deceits ot a rigorous climate, admonished the com pany, in .defiance of lassitude, to keep moving on. ‘Whosoever sits down,’ said lie, ‘will sleep, arid whoever sleeps will perish.’ The doctor spake as a sage, but felt as a man. In spite of the i einonsti ances of those lie instructed and alarmed, he was the first to lie down arid die. Tno samo warning- was re peated a thousand times in the retreat from Moscow. Allison, the historian, to try tho experiment, sat down in his gar den at night, when tlio t! ermometer had fallen four degrees below zero, and so quickly {did tho drowsiness come on, ihat be wondered bow a soul ol Napo leon's unhappy band had been able to re sist the treacherous influence. A Quaker’s Temperance Lerlnre. A sow days ago several persons wero crossing tho Atlgrgliany Mountains in a stage coach. Among them was an ear nest, honest, sturdy Quaker. As con siderable time was on their hands, they naturally entered into a conversation, which took the direction of temperance and soon became quite animated. One of the company did not join with the rest. lie was a large portly man, well dressed, and gs gen lemanly bearing. There were sharp thrusts at the liquor business and those engaged in it. In deed, the whole subject was thoroughly canvassed ai.d handled without gaivcs. Meanwhile this gentleman stowed him self away in one corner and maintained i stolid silence. Alter enduring it as tongas lie could, with a pompons and magisterial m inner, ho broke silence and said : (den!lemon I want yon to understand that I aui a liquor seller. 1 keep a pub lic liou.se at , but I would have you to understand that I have a license, and keep a decent house. . I don't keep I lifers and loungers about my place, and when a man lias enough he can get no more at my bar. I sell to decent people and do a respectable business.’ When lie hud delivered himself, he seemed to feci that he had put a quietus oil the subject, and no answer could be given. Not so, thought our friend tho Quaker; so he went for him. Said he r ‘Friend, that is the most damning part of Iby busin ss. II thee would 'lily sell to drunkards and 1 afers, thee would help kill oIT the race, and society would be rid of tbero. But thee takes the young, the pure, the innocent and the oiinuspuctiog, aui wake dioukaidd aud 1 loafer* ol them
