TRUE THHOUtIH Ai/I*
I r-*d an incident of the late war, which
ay not inappropriately be called hero the
ttoiy el the ring. It relate* to a circum-
Mauce which occurred when the old medi
cal college waa a military prison. A party
of young men—six, I l>ehevt>—had been
arrested somewhere in the interior of the
Htate and brought to the city as prisoners
of war. Months passed in weary confine
ment. Exis-ctnUon and "hope deferred
makes the heart nick,” and these men grew
aary of their long imprisonment. At
** lk 7 concerted means for esonpe.
They worked hopefully and waited patient
ly. and the period of their deliverance
came at last. An excavation under the
walls and a bribed guard wits all there was
of romantic interest in the flight, ltut af
ter getting far away from the prison one
of the fugitive* stopped short and an
nounced lus iutentiou of returning.
“HtHSain r* cried hi* companion, “why
yon will tie taken. The guard have been
changed ere this, and our escape no doubt
discovered.”
“True," he said, “but stilt I must ro-
Vum.”
Ho far the writer I intoned to the narra-
tive as it wan related >by one of the fugi
tives one night near the close of the war,
in a quiet little house nestled among the
Eoxiugtou hills. The narrator was the
ntntre of a neene of gaiety and brightness,
a village party, but one where culture and
refinement was as notks-able as ia the
most brilliant gatherings in the city. A
lady sat near him listening eagerly to what
he said. Kvqp after the lapse of so many
vears 1 Cad conjure now the beautiful vis
ion her memory recalls. A classic face,
with great luminous eyes, and a figure ns
faultless in contour and outline as the
Modician Venus, The face was soil, oven
in that scene of pleasure. The shadow of
some grief, sorrow hung about hor life, and
all the rosy hopes of her youth had fuded
iu their bloom.
I hail notici-d an evident constraint iu
her manners, when during the evening
she tins brought ill contact with Mr. W.,
one of the guest*. They appeared to mu
tually avoid each other; or rather he re
frained from paying attentions that he
feared would be considered disagreeable.
And yet gossips said they had onoe been
lovers.
“B ;t to return is death," I urged upon
my friend, said tlio narrator. “You will
be allot if taken.”
“I know it," lie said, “but still I am go
ing back. ”
The words wero quietly spoken, but
there was an inflexible determination in
their tone which almost appalled me. I
reasoned and remonstrated iu vain. I
showed him the certuiuty of capture and
the poosiblc death that awaited him. It
produced no iai|ircasi“n. H listened to
me quietly, sadly I thought, but his re
solve was unalterable.
“But why,” I asked, out of patience
with his olistimicy, “will you ineur this
risk ? What reason, what necessity is
there in it ?"
“I itm going bark for my ring,” lie said.
At those words tlio eager -listening lady
started visibly, and her face flushed sear
fct link the narrator did not perceive it,
and went On with his story.
"What ring ?" I asked- "not that little
gold circlet 1 saw yon wearing ?”
“Yes," heaaid, "it was the gift of a dear
friend. I laid it aside ns we wore working
Under the wall, lest I should break it, and
in tlie hnrry of escape I left it. We were
scarcely outside the wall when I thought
(M it. but I would not peril yonr escape by
returning then. Now you are safe, and I
go back for my ring. ”
"But why peril your life for a trifle like
that r
"I told yon it waa the gift of a dear
friend; a laity I It ia tlio pledge of my truth
to her. If I lost or gave it away, she
would held me foresworn. If she saw me
without it, I should stand in her eyes a
traitor. I took it on those conditions, and
I must go back.” -
There was no doubt of tho lady’s inter
flat in the narrative now. Hl"' leaned for
ward in her chair. Her whole sonl was
absorbed in listening. Not a word, not an
aeeeut escaped her strained and eager
•amen My interest in the story had giv
en place to my interest in tho lady. I nev
es saw such intensity of feeling in my life.
"I expostulated with him," continued
the narrator;. "I ridiculed the idea; ‘what
wakie is the ring ? Tell the lady yon lost
it 1’ ‘Not so,’ Ho said, ‘she could then say
I loved lilierty and personal fwedbm bet
ter than tho gift she gave me.’”
"And he returned ?‘‘
It was the lady who asked tho cpießtinn.
Her voice was very low, and the inquiry
•sue with a choking utterance.
"Ha did, and served for his pains nine
dreary months of imprisonment, a solitary
captive, with ball ana chain.”
"And tho ring," wo all demanded ea
gerly.
“Ho did not flud it."
Kvcn as wc spoke, the lady ro-io from
her sent am l passed across tie r,>om to
Where Mr. W. was sitting.
As quick as thought it dashed upon us;
Blew* were tlio parties.
I heart her say as she come close to his
aide: "I did not expect- from you impossi
bilities. You should have told mo the
■tory."
The sad mask had dropped front her
laae. Her eyes were full of tears but not
of bitterness.
It ia useless to tell of the happy wedding
that easuod; of tho joy and merry-making
of the guests. Our fair renders can ima
gine that, Ami so ends the story of the
ring.
Tub Best Gif* or Gw —The boat gift
of God to nations is the gift of upright
men -especially upright men for magis
tnites, stateraen sad rulers. How bounti
ful soever the heavens may be; how rich
the earth may be in harvests; though ev
ery wind of heaven waft prosi>erity to its
ports till the land is crowded w ith ware
houses stuffed to nqilction with treasure,
that country is poor whose citizens rr i not
noble, and thst republic, in poor which is
uot governed by noble men selected by its
citizens.
The sings of decay in the life of a t. -
lion show themselves as soon ns anywhere ;
els.- in ihe diameter of the men who are
railed to govern it. When they seek their
own ends, nnd not the public weal; when
they abandon principles, ami administer
according to tlie personal interest of
fliiquTH, when they forsake righteousness
and rail upon insatiable selfishness for
counsel: and wbe the laws and the frame
work of the government are hat so many
instruments of oppression and of wrong,
then the nation can not be far from decad
ence. When God means to do well by a
nation that has backslidden, among the
earliest tokens of his benelloent intent is
the restoration of men of integrity—men
who live for their fellows, and not for
themselves. — Ex.

LYNCH LAW IN MISSOURI
How a Nurdrr wi Arcngrd In Bales
County.
The Bute* County (Mo.) Demarral, af
ter giving the details of the murder of
Constable Wilson by Duvid Hardy, whom
ho had arrested for larceny, says:
“But the deed was done anil the perpe
trator had e*ea]>ed. What was to lie done ?
It would not do to permit him to go entire
ly free. The citizens of Osage Township
were gathered together and the particular*
elicited. They became infuriated when
they remembered that Hardy had not only
killed an officer in the discharge of his du
ties, but hud returned and rifled his pock
et*. Runners were sent to Rockville, to
Butler, and to different points iu Bates
and Varoou counties. Every shooting
iron was resurrected, every avenue of es
cape guarded.
“Hcouting parties were sent out all dur
ing the day from Butler aud the southern
portion of the county, but his lurking
place was not discovered. Finally, rather
than fail, rather tlutu the monster should
entirely iscujh-,, a reward of #I,OOO was of
fered fur lii* body'dead of alive. Every
clew was sought for and nothing left un
done by the neighbors of the murdered of
ficial to hunt Hardy down.
“One R. I’. Buck, a brother-in-law to
Hardy, hud seen the murderer, while on liis
way to examine some trout lines on the
Marais de Oygnes, accompanied by a little
boy, a cousin of Hardy. Ho was already
there when Hurdy came down upon them,
uud one Jones, knowing not what hud
been done, rowed Hardy iu a skiff aerosa
the river. When reaching the other side
he called to Buck to ‘tell his folks to have
his clothes uu the Miami bridge at 12
o’clock that night, or, iu case he failed to
got there, to send them to Harrison ville.’
The little boy acknowledged to his conver
sation afterwards, and the crowd compell
ed Buck to state the entire purtimibus.
“A sipiud of six was immediately dis
putclicd to llarrisonville, and Buck waa
kept under guard until after dark, when
another relative by the name of Mathew*
was pressed into service with Buck, and
some twenty others with Buck, and some
twenty others with these two started for
Miami bridge. Buck and Mathews, hav
ing a sack of straw to represent clothes,
were ordered to go on the bridge and whis
tle for Hardy to make his appearance, while
the others concealed themselves. Hardy,
suspecting nothing, soon came out on the
bridge. They told him they did not get
all his clothes. He suid lie would go buck
and get them himself. (He hud no idea
that so many were aroused oft his truck.)
While talking, the two, according to or
ders, caught him and kept Ida arms and
legs pinioned until the crowd came up, his
gun failing at the very first. They carried
him back to the school-house ut Rich Hill.
“I‘ursuant to previous arrangement,
gnus were tired at Rich Hill, giving notice
to alOwlio could hear uud who were still
on his trail that the murderer was caught.
“In tho meantime, Hardy’s father had
been arrested for aiding and übotting the
murder, and woh at the seliiKil-liinise when
lus son was brought. Supper was served
to young llurdy, and he partook unspar
ingly, laughed and talking all the while,
as if lie considered it a joke. There were
only a few iu the house, while tlie school
house was surrounded by hundreds of men
before an hour after it was known that he
had been caught. Someone asked young
Hurdy how lie liked pickle ? "Take that,
and n yon,” hurling a large one at the head
of the intern>mitor. ■
“We are informed that he had a trial on
the outside of the scliool-honse. AVe can
state no particulars as to what occurred at
the trial. All that wo can state is that onr
informant was iu tho school-house glean
ing all he ootdd from the prisoner, who
gave ns his reason for killing Wilson that
no only did so to keep from being arrested.
While the conversation continued, wit
nesses were sworn and examined. Finally
all liecttnie quiet, and one person eame in
to tho school-house and told Hardy thut
some ouo wanted to see him on the out
side. He arose from liis seat and started
out. The crowd hud started off with him
when our informant went out, and he
could hear Hardy singing iu a derisive
tone:
"Farewell, mother, you may never
Press me to your hear again."
"This was about day-break. What was
done can only be judged from the result.
His body wan" found next morning swing
ing to an elm, about a mile from Hock
Hm.
“Thus In the space of twenty-four hours,
were two souls sent into eternity. the mur
derer and his victim. On the morning of
tho 27th, the fatal shot was tired that rob
bed tho life of an esteemed citizen of Os
age Township, and tho subsequent morn
ing found the porjietrator of the black
deed standing in mid air.
A Dka# DiJi’K.—Dickens tells the fol
lowing story of an American sea captain
who had on board a young lady of re
markable personal attractions—a phrase
I use as one lieiug entirely new, and one
von never met with in the newspaper®.
This young lady was beloved intensely by
five young gentlemen passengers, aud in
return she was m love with them all very
ardently, but without any particular pref
erence for either. Not knowing how to
make her determination in this dilemma,
she consulted my friend the captain. The
captain being a man of an origiunl turn of
mind, says to the young lady, "Jump over
hoard an'd marry tlio man that jumps after
you.” The young lady, struck with the
idea, and being naturally fond of bathing,
especially in warm weather, as it then was,
took the advice of tho captain, who had a
boat manned iu case of accident. Accord
ingly, next morning the five lovers being
on deck, and looking devotedly at tlio
young lady, she plunged into the sea,
head foremost. Four of the lovers imme
diately jumped in after her. When the
young lady aud her four lovers were got
out again, she says to the captain, "What
am Ito do with them now, they lire so
wet?” Says the captain, “Taka the dry
one !" Aud tho young liuly did, and she
married him. •
Strong Women—Sick Men.— Did it
ever occur to the public, asks a Chicago
paper, that women are getting entirely
too healthy? It’s amazing what a little
lecturing and ridicule, and consequent
exercise and sensible clothing, have ao
oomplished. Tho dauger now is that the
women will become so entirely robust, and
live to such astonishing nges, thnt they
will gradually drive puny men out of exis
tence. Go through any of the streets of
Chicago and look at the faces and figures
tee two sexes. Obseri e the sharp, th n
visages, the spitulliug limbs, and the dys
peptic countenances of three-fourths of
i the men. They seem to have a yearning
| disiro to lean up against something and
think, and would, were they uot driven
| l>y the demands of brininess to drag them
selves on. The women, on the contrary,
1 are the pictures of good health and con
tentment. They hare not yet thought to
j scold and caution their husbands and
sweetheart's against a ruinous style of
1 living; but the danger of a dearth of men
will soon excite the fair sex to bold words
i uopn this subject.
THE FATE 0E TWO LOVERS.
There are fine caverns ami recesses
among the rocks; one pal ticnhirly, which
we tis>k the opportunity of visiting yester
ilay, a* it oun only be entered at the ebb
of the sprflig tide*. It is very spacious,
beautifully arched andcomtmsedof grnnite
rocks finely veined with alabaster, which
the imagination may easily form into as
•eiublunco of a female figure and is, of
course, the Nereid of the grotto. We
wished to stay longer, but our friend hur
ried us sway, lest the tide should rush in,
which it is supposed to do from subter
raneous caverns, as it fills before the tide
covers the sand of the adjacent beach. I
was particularly affected with the fate of j
two lovers, (a young lady and gentleman
from Clifton,) whose friends wore here for
the sake of sea bathing. 'l’hey stole ont
early one morning by themselves, and
strolled along the liench till they came to
this grotto, which being then empty, they
entered.
They admired the strata of rock* lead
ing in different directions. They admired
the incrustation which covers part of the
sides, exactly resembling honey-comb;
various shells imbeiled in the rock; the sea
anemone spreading its purple frienge—an
animal flower clinging to the rocks. They
admired the first efforts of vegetation in
the purple and green tints occasioned by
the lichens and other mosses creeping
over the bare stone. They admired these
together; they loved each other more for
having the same tastes; and they taught
the echoes of the cavern to repeat the
vows which they made of eternal con
stancy. 11l the meantime the tide was
coming in; of this they were aware, as I
they now end then glanced their eyes on j
the waves, which they aaw advancing at a
distanc ■; imt, not knowing the peculiar
nature of the cavern, they thought them
selves safe; when on a sudden, as they
were iti the farthest part of it, the waters I
rushed In fro hi the flssnre* in the rock!
with terrible roaring. They climbed from ’
ledge to ledge of the rook, butjin vain; the j
waters rose impetuously, and at length
filled the whole grotto. Their bodies j
were found the next day, when the tide j
was out, reclining ou a shelf of rock; he, in
the tender attitude of supporting her in
the very highest accessible part, and learn
ing bis own head iu her hip, so that he;
must have died first. Poor lovers!-- Mrs.

THE GOLDEN A GE OX PL YMOUTII
CHURCH.
Nf.w Yoiik, .Tnly B.—The Golden Ago
to morrow publishes the following editori
al:
Plymouth church hnsadopted the pol
icy of silence. It has seen n cunning tissue
of misrepresentation and insinuation, wo
ven for the injury of one man and the
protection of another, swept away at a
single blow, leaving its artifice exposed to
the public eye; mid yet, in the face of a
universal demand for explanation, it holds
its peace.
It sees tho character of one whose good
nume is bound to defend from every as
persion brought on by grave and terrible
suspicion; and while millions in agony of
sympathy for him entreat it to o;ien its
lips and speuk one assuring word, it per
sistently holds its tongue. The fact
speaks in trarnet tones. The American
people ask for one word in behalf of a man
they rovored and lovered more tlinu any
other.
One single syllable of assurance from
the lips that have moved millions, and
have s witchery of persuasiveness possessed
by no other oil eutrh, would have satisfied
them. There was a splendid occasion,
und. there stood the man to fill it- with a
voice which would have gone, like Eng
land’s drum bout, round tho world.
They listened in deathlike stillness, and
were treated to a silence almost audible.
Tho fuct admits only one construction,
and whoever thinks draws tho inevitable
conclusion. There is a silence more op
pressive and ominous than that of death;
The American people now know what thut
silence is.
a USUIAU COUPLES.
What a study for the disinterested to
watch the "hilling and cooing" of a new
ly-married couple when they uro in a
gushing mood. How lovingly iu the
street or at a funeral she hangs upon his
arm. Am he gazes dowu into her face,
lifted appealingly to liis, all thoughts of
earth and earthly things disappearing ns
"mist before tho noonday sun." Heaven
itself becomes a dreary place compared to
their happiness. They become a mutual
admiration society. In them the enter
prising Yankee beholds a fortune could he
but exhibit them as dissolving views. See
how natural their hands seek out and find
e <ch other. How lovingly ho administers
"love-taps” to the No. 8 hand resting so
oozily in his toil h rlened "pair." Their
l.ces, acting as strong magnets, draw
nearer and nearer untill daylight has no
power to pass between. Hear, or imag
ine you do, the sharp click which follows.
Observe how little space they occupy—at
first. How attentive and gallant is Mr.
Happiness as he assists the ‘ ‘apple of j
his eye” in or out of his carriage. We ;
will sav no more, ns those who have been j
there know how it is, and those who have
not, will learn rapidly enough; but we
honestly think that at “gushing” much- J
married elderly couple can. give untried
and timid youth odds aud then distance j
them.

A QUMJOUS. DENOMINATION,
There is n curious .religions denomina
tion at the West called lhuikors, and they
have just lmd their annual meeting at Gir
ard, Illinois. They are German Baptists,
and their present designation is a derisive
one, from tho word Tunker, to sop, nud
bestowed upon these people because, in
baptizing, they first place the candidates j
on their knees and then push them for-j
ward into the water. They are truly pc- i
culiar people. Their dress is very like j
that of the Quakers; they never go to law; j
they never contract debts outside their or- \
der; they never vote; they refuse to per- 1
form military duty; they are allowed to |
wear full beards, but not moustaches only;
they are forbidden to engage in tho busi
ness of banking aud brokerage, as it leads
to covetousness; they discourage all educa
tion beyond what the common school can
supply—
We know that Adam, at his birth
Waa good {he never went to college;)
Bat wickedness came on tho earth
By eathiu' of the tree of knowledge;
they disapprove of farmers’ chilis, gran
ges" and all secret societies; they condemn
j the “ungodly piano" and ether musical
instruments, and when two brothers meet
they salute each other with the "holy
kiss." They believe it nnseripturnl| to
count their membership, but it is suppos
ed to exceed 150,000. nnd they make kind
neighbors aud thrifty citizens.— Boston

A BEE BTOR Y.
The following illustration of the power
IKissessed by insects to communicate their
experiences to one another is given by a
lady correapoudent of the Loudon Sfieeta
j tor; “I was staying in the house of a
; gentlemen who was fond of trying experi
ments, and also was a bee-keeper. Huv
iug read in some book on bees that the
best aud most humane way of taking the
honey without deatroying the bees was to
immerse the hive for a few minutes in a
tub of cold water, When the bees, being
half drowned, could not sting, while the
honey was uninjured, since the water
could not penetrate the closely waxed
; cells, he resolved on trying the plan. I
saw tho recipe, were fished out of the wa
ter after the hive had been immersed a
few minutes and, with those remaining in
the hive, laid on a sieve in the sun to
dry ; Imt as, by bad management, the ex
periment had been tried too lute in the
day, as the sun was going down, they
were removed into the kitchen, to the
great indignation of the cook, on whom
they revenged their sufferings as soon as
the warm rays of the fire before which
they were placed had revived them. As
she insisted on their being taken away,
they were put back into their old hive,
which had been dried, together with a
portion of their honey, aud placed on one
of the shelves of the apiary, in which were
five or six other stroDg lnves full of bees,
and left for the night. Early the next
morning my friend went to look at the
hive on which ho experimented the
night before, but, to liis amazement, not
only the bees from that hive were gone,
but the other hives were all deserted—not
a bee remained iu any of them. The
half-drowned lieeu must, therefore, in
some way or other, have made the other
bees nuiferstand the fate which awaited
them.”
COURTSHIP OF RAVAGES.
Among the aboriginal blocks of Austra
lia, courtship as the precursor of marriagij
is unknown. When a young warrior is
desirous of procuring u wife ho generally
obtains one by giving in exchange for her
a sister or some other female relative of
his own; lint if there should happen to be
no eligible damsel disengaged in the tribe
to which he belongs, then he hovers
around the encampment of some other
blacks untill he gets an opportunity of
s -izing one of their leubras, whom he has
seen aud admired when attending one of
the feasts of corrobories. His mode of
playing his addressera in simple and
efficacious. With a blow of a war club he
stuns the object of his “affections,’ and
as slit) recoveres her sense brings hor home
to his own guuyali iu triniuph. Another
method with wife-stealers is to ascertain
the cump fire liethdes which tliegirl whom
ne covets sleeps. When he gains the
knowledge he require*, ho creeps close to
the camp on some dark, windy night,
and stretching ont his spear insert its
barbed point among her thick, flowing
locks, turning it slowly around, some of
her hair becomes entangled? with a sml
den ferk, she is aroused from her alnmlier
aud us her eyes open ahe feels the point
of another weapon pressed against her
throat. She neither faints or screams.
She knows well (hat the slightest attempt
ut escape or alarm will cause her instant
death; so like a sensible woman, she makes
a virtue of necessity, and tiling silently,
the follows her captor to begin a life of
soil from which she is not released till
death.
