1 eat an hour to-dry, John,
Beside the old brook stream — .
Where we were echool-boys iu old time
Yt Hen manhood w is a dream ;
'ihc brook is choke i with fallen leaves,
'The pond is dried away,
1 ccarcc believe that you would know
The dear old place to-day.
The school-Lou jC is no more, John;

The v/iid roao by the window’s side
No more wa\es in the breeze;
The scattered s.uues look desolate.

Has beefi ploughed up by stranger-hands,
Bincc you anu I were gone
uhe chestnut tree is dead, John,
And, w hat is sadder now,
The broken grape-vine of our swing
liaugs on me withered ouugh,
i read our names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up boucain tire hoilow side.
As we had piled them there,
Beneath tin- grass-grown bank, John,

Thai bubbled down the alder path
Three paces from tiic swing,
The rushes grow upon the brink,
The pool is black and bare,
Aiivl not a foot for many a day
it seems had trodden there.
1 lock the old blind road, John,
That wandered up the kill—
’Tis darker than used to be,
And sccuis so lone and still;
Tuo birds yet sing upon the bougus
Yvhere once the sweet grapes Hung,
But not a voice of human kind

A Child Stolen From Ilis"Fatlicr
in Savamnihand JUrougiii to New
’«oi k.
On Saturday,- Flay 27, while James
Mui pli.y, a little hoy of Fvc years, was
playing in the streets of Savannah;
near his father’s home, he was accosted
by a woman, a former acquaintance of
the child's deceased mother. The wo
man took the child to a store and bought
him anew h ,t, jacket and some candy,
enticing him in this manner to accom
pany her on board the steamer Magno
lia bound for New York.
The father of the child fa longshore
man) on returning from his work, net
finding his boy at his boarding place',
and being unable to obtain any tidings
concerning him since early in the day,
went in search of him. lie searched
all through the city, including the po
lice stations, without avail. On Sunday
Hie search was renewed, with the assist
ance of some IVleutlj, with more suc
cess. An old negro carman who knew
the child said he carried the boy and a
woman down to the deck and saw them
embark on board the magnolia, for New
York.
The woman told the old darkey that
she was the only living friend the child
had, that he had no fat her or mother and
that she did n -t intend leaving him in
Savannah any longer.
The father, on learning that the child
was on his way to New York, immedi
ately telegraphed here to a friend, (a
Mr. Downy) who knew the boy, request
ing him to be at the dock when the
steamer arrived and take the child away
from the woman, adding that he would
come cn the next steamer himself and
claim the child. Through some mis
take Mr. Downy failed to be present at
the landing of the passengers, hence the
child escaped. Mr. Murphy ai rived in
this city on Thursday only to learn that
he had lost all trace of the boy. The
Christian name only of the kidnapper is
known to the father of the child, and
he is able to give but a very slight de
scription of her, having seen her but
two or three times as far as he remem
bers. She is about, forty five years of
age, hair turning gray, low sized and
thin, and of Irish nationality. The
boy is aged five years, large for his age
light hair, has sear on his forehead,
shaped somewhat like a capital N.
Superintendent Kelso has promised
the poor man to do all in his power to
restore him his lost boy, declaring that
he wifi find him if he is anywhere with
in the limits of Fnc city or State. —JYI

A Daring Manoeuvre at Sea.
It is nearly a century since a little
sloop not larger than one of our yachts ,
of the present day, was becalmed on the
Atlantic Ocean, iu the latitude of the
Capes of Virginia. There is nothing
unusual in this IV. et; but a spec tit r
might have seen drooping from her peak
a strange flag for those times, unknown
and unrecognized upon the high seas.—
Its blazonry of red and white stripes,
shimmering like a glory in the sunlight
as some breeze set Its folds iu motion,
and in the centre of its broad field was
a pine tree, at the foot of which was the
representation of a, coiled snake, with
the motto, “Don’t tread on me. ’
This was the first flag of the rebel
lious British Colonies, now the mighty
United States, which tver float 'd ever
the ocean. Another feature or the
scene was that the little sleep was heav
ily armed. From her port-holes on ci
ther side protruded the muzzles of half
a dozen carrouadcs, while on her lore
castle might be seen one of those favor
ite and effective pieces termed a u long
Tom,” mounted on a pivot. In a word,
she was fully manned and equipped for
war.
The weather was clear, and. the sur
face of the ocean scarcely rufled by a
“cat’s-paw; but the commander of the
little craft, who was steadily pacing her
deck, seamed by no mearis satisfied with
the situation. .Ever and anon, as lie
watched the horizon, his eyes were limn
ed to the Northeast, as if seeking indi
cations of the weather. Suddenly h
paused before the officer of the deck
and exclaimed :
“By the beard of Neptune, L knew
it 1”
“Yfliat is it. Captain ?”
“The fog, sir, no bigger than your
hand now; but in a short time we shall
be enveloped in it.”
The young officer looked sharply in
the direction indicated, and soon discern
ed a dark irregular line above the hori
zon, which one less expe-ieneed might
have taken for laud.
‘T believe you are right, Captain,”
he said ; “but we have a good offing,and
they never last long.”
“The offing is well enough in its way,
sir,” replied the commander, with a
sharp metalie ring to his voice, “but wc
are light on the cruising ground of' the
British meu-of-war, and before yon fog
clears off we may be in one of their
clutches.”
Even as they conversed the log-bank
visibly increased, and. to the experi
enced eye of the commander, it was
bringing the wind with it.. Directions
were therefore given to gettaesioop un
der easy sail,and have e . ovythinp ready
forasqall. This wuo scarce: j done before
she was enveloped in the driving mini.
The breeze, however, soon died away,
and she floated idly oii the water, com
pletely enshrouded by the fog. It was
early morn when this happened, and
the obscuration continued several hours.
At half.past eleven, the Captain, who
had gone below for a few moments, sud
denly put IF:; head above the hatchway,
and demanded in an angry t tie :
“Who dared to strike that bell?”
It needed not the deck officer’s reply :
“It is not our bell, sir.”
For still the measured strokes rang
out until the full tally of eleven was
complete, and the shrill whistle of the
boatswain was heard, followed by his
hoarse voice calling :
“All hands to grog, ahoy !” *
“A man-of war, and close aboard on
our weather quarter, by the beard of*
Neptune!” exclaimed the commander of
the sloop. “Ease her off* before the
wind, and set all sail, Mr. Barney; no
noise, but quick work.”
The order was too late, for'tlie fresh
en*, ug breeze had dissipated the top lay
er of the log, and the upper spars of a
large ship were visible not more than
three cabin’s length to windward. As
often happens with fog-draft, less than
live iniriutes sufficed to lift the veil, and
our little sloop found herself under the
guns of a large frigate, at whoso pnh
floated the "meteor flag of England. ’
The clear, bright eyes of the Ameri
can Captain fairly glistened with fire,
and his firm lip was sol with determina
tion.
“Caught or net, as it may ho; we
shall see. No lh’kfih dungeon for me,
though. Vv’hat de you s;-y, mv n;oa ?
Hist! no cheers ; your eyes speak/'
Tills W:':. add": S and to the CfCW, wlio
had crowded eti tioek; and so’perfect
was the discipline, that though no word
was spoken, the commander of tlie sloop
understood that every'mai there would
live or die at his word.
“Sloop, ahoy! lower your go.IT, and
pass under iny i-c.” was the g.oughly
command, h*.»ars<gy betlvwed thr-. ugh
the trumpet of the Kritish cflieer.
"Ay. ay!’' returned the Amor,err.
commander. wh- -o position was on the
bow of the frigate, and who. instead es
running* off before the wiuu, watch at
tempt would have been madness, w- -vc
*arouad, dropping his peak ui apparent
obedience, and-passing under, the fer
mkl hie broadside of the Keg s cruiser,
being expected to ‘-heave to,*' and sur
render under quarter. duo; os ihe tras
fail abeam, the 1> Elfish Captain, who
had conic on dock. perceived that the
.’•-.-p's flag had not been lowered. and
exclaimed in a furious tone :
“iiaul down tlta. rebetg, ra 11 I'll sink
you."
The American commander was fully
alive to the p:EI of his situau a, and
fully equal to it ; uc had determined
that his flag souuui go down with ha
vessel, but in: ihi. that craft was ,diowu
bic iu#ucti uu tUv.; . iu*y. iy wave one
of ills men was era pun u;. ; k tug mg
at tin. ens git halyatg. in t seeming cn-
deavor to comply with the order, he re
plied firmly :
“Ay! ay ! Lul it icon's come denen.”
Supposing the halyards wore foul,the
British Captain merely answered :
“Heave to under my stern until I send
a boat un b nrdf'
Duviug this brief colloquy the breeze
had freshened, and the sloop was out of
the direct range bf the frigate’s gnus
Thus, while the Briton looked on, un
suspecting of any attempt at escape or
re.’stance*, the peak of the sloop .sud
denly arose to its proper position, the
glorious flag of freedom spread grace
fully its folds to the breeze, and a broad
side of defiance belched forth from the
little carronade:. This was harmless,
but as the frig-.to put her helm up to
bear away for a broadside, a clear sharp
ring from -long m’ rms heard, a well
directed shot sped its way, and with a
crash came down her ibretopuiast with
all Its hamper, cam ing her to luff up
suddenly in the wind,* and send her
broadside wide of its mark.
“The deuced Yankee sharpshooter !’’
exclaimed the British Captain. “ 11c
has crippled us. Out with your stern
guns and sink him. Cut away the wreck
take in your aftcrsall, and hoist the
forcstaysail .”
Tltis was done to make the frigate fall
off with her broadside to the chase, and
the orders were as rapidly obeyed as cir
cumstances wou’d permit; hit bowling
along with the wind on her quarter,
which had freshened into a steady gale,
the saucy American sent several effective
shots at her adversary, while another
lustily fired broadside* from the frigate
again flow vd la of its mark, and before
the Briton was in trim for the chase,
the sloop wa. beyond the hope of cap
ture, having clearly the heels of her pur
suer.
The rage of the-British Commander
was fearful at his disappointment, and
when ids executive officer thought to
satisfy him by allusion to the little worth
of the prize, he ex cl si oed :
“Hang it. sir, there is promotion, if
not knighthood lost ; meanly as you
think of her, the commander oi* you
sloop is no other thaii the notorious ren
egade and pirate, John Fat'd Jones !”
And so it was. The little sloop,
Providence, under the chivalrous and
daring Paul Jones —one of the earliest
friends of our country, to whom British
hatred applied such terms of opprobri
um —was tlie first vessel of war to hoist
the American-flag, and the foregoing is
marly an accurate account of her es
cape from the B lash frigate, Leopard
Kides for iMstilleßs?

Several years ago, whed. the West
was comparatively anew country, an
individual presented him.self at the door
of a log grocery iu a sottlemi.nl t-iime
abandoned, and asked if there was a
judge in the place. Upon offing in
formed that toe storekeeper himself
was a judge, the stranger piuceed fi :
“ WAY. judge you sec the A :- in F-:
Ci'.se are this: 1 war travel in along
! with a pa:\l:icr down here an.e e, and
I he showed me a silver dollar who a ’to
hud. Weil, L popped him under the
ear with toy ]*l^t u !. Then l took hi;-
silver ami cum along alone; but I got
to thinking' the matter over, and ? don’t
think I. d<>ne jo.A the right thing, by my
pardner.
My conshunsjiasbeen troublin'me.and ’
1 think i ou.Jit to be’huug. Now, I
judge, if it wouldn’t be too much trou j
blc, I’d iiue t" have yen to try u>e and !
have me hung. if vow doult
the fact in the case, there is the dollar
L took from my pardner, and you'll find
his remains down the road apiece under
a log. I’ll lee! obliged to y*>u. judge,
it* you,ll have me hung.”
The judge told the stronger t<> make
him elf comfortable over at the hotel
until he could send some men down the
road to investigate the matter, and it’
they found the body he would cal• a
jury and try the stranger, as \vr*s tie-*
sired. The dead man beim found. Cos
judge summoned a jury, and sent won!
to Cic stranger at the hotel that if ho
would step over to the store they would
give him a trial.
The stranger appeared immediately,
shook h; li do with the judg* and j: r*,
invited the court to Like a drink, and
appeared grateful and satisfied wiFu the
proceedings.
The trial proceeded socially, and the
tender-hearted jury brought in a ver
dict of guilty of manslaughter iti the
first degree. A look of anxiety, which
the stranger had worn up to this time,
faded from Lis face as he stood up to re
ceive his sentence. “You have ban
found guilty,” said the judge, “ of the
crime of manslaughter, for which you
are undoubtedly penitent. ’ Here the
stranger again began io got anxious and
uneasy.
“ And if,” proceeded the judge, “it.
meets your aypvobati >n, we will try to
hang you next Sunday morning, at 11
o’clock, A. M. In the meantime, try to
make yourself as comfortable as passi
ble.”
The stranger looked a little salami
the judge asked him if he wasn’t sat
isfied. If there was anythin lie could
do for him.
“Judge, I hate t > bo particular, and
fussy,” said the stranger, “but havin’
the ager and fever, the chills come on
at 10 o’clock iu the mom in’, and if you
could have me swung off be fare that f
should fuel obliged.”
“Os course,” said the judge, “we
always respect a party’s feelings. No
trouble'at all. Come round at 9 o’clock,
and may be we’ll get through by church
time.”
Sudsy mowing at 9 o’clock the stran
ger came out cf the ht-iffi and proceeded
to the grocery. There he met a depu
tation of citizens, one of whom threw a
lariat over a tree, and, as soon as the
stranger had taken a chow of tobacco
and shaken hands all rouud. they hauled
him up.
How Sugar is Made White. —The
way in which sugar is made perfectly
white was found out in ;i very curious
way. A hen that had rone through n
clay mud-puddle, want with her umddy
feet into a sugar lu-uso. It was observed
by someone that wherever the tracks
were the sugar was whitened. This
led to sonic experiments. The result
was. that the clay came to be used in
reiiulHg su; ar. i t i-i in this way : The
sugar is pul in earthen jar.", shaped as
you sec the sugar is. The large ends
are upward. The ends have a hole in
them. The jar is filled with sugar, tin*
clay put over the t<»p and k.-pt wet. —
The moisture goes down through the
su pir and drops from the hole iu (he
small end ot the jar. This maker, the
sugar perfectly white.
