THY WILL BE DONE.
There was a mother bending o'er her child. ' -It's
liltl form eonvalsed and racked with pain.
E'en while ahe gazed, with tear-drop in her eje
And cheek ao tele, its spirit upward Bed
To God who gave, and who now took swaf.
8he bowed her head and said, "Thy will be done,''
Although it took the life blood from her heart.
There was a dan ghter standing b, the orach
Of him who was her earthly guard and guide.
A little while ago a mother dear
Bad left that daughter and gone up to Heaven,
And now the father bids a sad farewell,
A a be toe goes to join hia loved one there.
The chastening rod of God seems lsid almost
Too heavily on that air, tender form,
Bat though she boughs hencathtt to the ground
And feels its crushing weight upon her heart,
8tlU she can know that tls the foes Qtd,
And not bis swafA, that sti ikes so terribly.
And she can say, e'en in ler suffering,
"Thy will, not mine, be done, Ob I blessed God."
There was a husband kneeling by the form
Of her who was hia dearest earthly friend.
For many years they walked this pleasant earth
Together, hand In hand. But bow a change
Had come. The dtrk and dreaded angel, death,
Bad taken her to dweU with ealeta abore, .
And left him here in agony to grieve
Alone. Alone? Oh I no ; for looking np.
Be saw the tender smile of God which Bald,
I love thee, child, and chasten for thy good."
That smile he met with bitterness of grief
Bat said with b'eeding heart, "Thy will be done."
"Thy will be done" They are small words and few.
Bat how much meaning in these words contained.
At time how different to bow our wlU .
To Him who rules on hljh, and feel 'tis welL
Tie said there are no creeses here on earth
For us to bear, save those we mke ourselves,
By laying oar own interests, likings, rights,
Acrors the great authority of God.
H's wUl the greater, out's the lesser pieo",
And laid ia opposition form a crow.
Did we but bear our burden aa we should,
'Twould hardly be a bardea that we bore.
For we would hear those blessed words of Christ,
Come, weary one, to me, aad And sweet rest,
My yoke is easy end my burden light.

Correspondence of the Fremont Journal.
LIBERTY. CLAY Co., Mo, May 6th, '66.
Ma. Editor: Thinking a few words concern
ing the merits of the above named State, would
not be entirely overlooked by your numerous,
readers, I will endeavor to give you an imper
fect sketch of the country. Aa you are aware
we left Ohio (our place of residence for the last
twenty-five years,) some seven weeks ago. We
had a prosperous, though somewhat tedious
journey. We went to Cincinnati by rail, and
there took the river, leaving tcrra-firma for the
next two weeks, but still going by steam, and
for the first time in our lives gliding down the
noble waters of the Ohio. It would probably
be needless to try to describe to you the scenes
of beauty and grandeur that occasionally met
our view on either side of the stream, as your
self and many of your V-eaders are, no doubt,
generally convert-ant with them. As we bad
determined going by water as far as possible,
we steamed out of the Ohio into the Mississippi,
rode on this mighty river about two hundred
miles, from thence we proceeded up the His
nouri; thus we had the exquisite pleasure of rid
ing on the waters of three of the largest rivers
in the United States. We reached our place of
destination March 28th in good health, good
spirits, and in high anticipations of findings
good country. We have now been here about
five weeks, aud thus far have been highly pleased
with the charming appearance of the country.
Of the people we were certainly misinformed.
We supposed by various descriptions we bad of
the native Missourians that they were almost
barbarians, but we have come to a different con
elusion, a we nave tound them to be a very
kind, obliging and polite people ; of course they
have their peculiarities and oddities, especially
in speaking they have some singular words, I
think they are deriatives probably from the Af
rican. That curse of all curses, Slavery, has
destroyed the means of education toa great ex
tent, and the poorer class of people have grown
up in ignorance ; where wealth existed the
children were sent away to school and thereby
gained a good education.
As we were coming out here we heard differ'
ent opinions expressed in regard to the warlike
feeliDg existing in this State, but that is done
away with, they have ceased toagilale the ques
tion. Where warlike feelings and disloyalty is
displayed the supremacy of the law is vindica
ted and put in force. There is a majority of
Union men who mil rule, therefore it is useless
to protest. . I like Missouri better every day I
live here. The natural scenery is beautiful
beyond description. The gentle rolling coun
try, the springs, brooks, gravelly bottoms and
rich soil, the best soil of land I ever saw. Wa
ter privileges are fine, as every farm has a good
well of water and generally several springs, and
is thus rendered very healthy. Wheat looks
very promising here. They estimate twenty
to twenty-five bushels per acre. I am putting
out Hemp, Tobacco, Oats and Corn this spriDg.
Hemp yields a clear profit of fifty to seventy
five dollars per acre. Tobacco is still more prof
itable.- Stock is very high ; there are great ad
vantages here for stock as the woods and. roads
are all covered with blue grass.
Liberty, the County seat, is a nice village sit
uated in a beautiful part of the county, and af
fording one of the best Court Housea I ever
saw; it is surrounded with au iron fence, and
cost fifty thousand dollars. There is also an
excellent college at about the same cost
Churches are dispersed throughout the country
similar to Ohio. I think Missouri has a great
future. She has been kept back a half century
and all we want to build her up is enterprise,
and a few more live Yankees. The people here
arc somewhat averse to this sect of people, but
they will come, and as a certain Doctor here ex
pressed it, they will come and nothing will pre
vent it but Qod Almighty, (and I don't think
He will. ) It seems to be one of the grea' events
of the day, that we occupy the "good land,"
that she is now subdued and her condition
thoroughly established, and with the established
fact concerning her rich mineral resources and
soil; she must eventually rank with her sister
Stales in wealth and commerce.
I would say to my friends in Ohio, emigrate,
leave the mud and come to a dry country. We
live just as fearlessly here as we did in Ohio.
Of course yon hear rumors and misrepresenta
tions of the country, but come and see for your
selves. I am going to try it for awhile, any
way. We miss our circle of acquaintances, bnt
your excellent paper finds its way here and is a
welcome visitor. And now, Mr. Editor, if you
think these scattering comments worthy of no
tice please give them an humble place in the
Journal, end thereby oblige your friend and

ANOTHER PEAT PROJECT.
We have seen a handsom specimen of fuel
prepared from peat bv a novel method patented
by Dr. KIsberg, 314 Broadway. Hia plan in
volves the outlay of fire thousand dollars for
machinery, besides the power, and requires that
the peat be dry before it is operated upon. The
pressure is twelve thousand five hundred pounds
to t!" square irch.and requires a thirty-five
horse power, but is calculated to make one hun
dred and fifty tons of prepareu fuel per day.
The prepared article is so solid and hard that it
called "artificial coal." The work is to be
doue by strain, and the cost of fuel ia not taken
into the account, as it comes from the ground.
Whether a process involving so great an expen
diture of power can be brought within reasona
ble cost for the making of fuel to compete with
wood and coal, is a matter to be determined
only by the trial N. Y. ftst.
A TRUE STORY.
Many years ago I happened to be one of
tne reterees id a ease that excited unusual
interest in our courts, from the singular na
ture of tne claim, and the strange story
which it disclosed. The plaintiff who was
captain of a ship which traded principally
with the West Indies, bad married quite
early with every prospect of happiness.
His wife was said to have been extremely
beautiful, and no less lovely in character.
After living with her in the most unin
terrupted harmony for five years, during
which time two daughters were added to
the family, he suddenly resolved to resume
his occupation, which he had relinquished
on his marriage, and when his youngest
child was but three weeks old sailed for
the West Indies. His wife, who was de
votedly attached to him, sorrowed deeply
at his absence, and found her only com
fort in the society of the children and the
hope of his return. But month after
month passed away, and he came not nor
did any letters, those insufficient but wel
come substitutes, arrive to cheer her soli
tude. Months lengthened into years, yet
no tidings were received from the absent
husband ; and after hoping against hope,
the unhappy wife was compelled to believe
that be bad found a grave beneath the wel
tering ocean.
Rat sorrow was deep and heartfelt, but
the evils of poverty were now added to
her afflictions, and the widow found her
self obliged to resort to some employment
in order to support her children. Her
needle was the only resource, and for ten
years she labored early and late for the
miserable pittance which is ever grudg
ingly bestowed on a humble seamstress.
A merchant in New York, in moderate
but prosperous circumstances, accidentally
became acquainted with her, and pleased
with her gentle manners, no less than her
extreme beauty, he endeavored to improve
their; acquaintance with friendship.
After some months he offered his hand
and was accepted. As the wife of a suc
cessful merchant she soon found herself in
the enjoyment of comforts and luxuries
such as she had never possessed. Her
children became his children, and received
from him every advantage which wealth
and affection could procure.
Fifteen years passed away; the daugh
ters married, and by their step-father were
furnished with every comfort requisite to
their new avocation as housekeepers. But
tbey had hardly quitted his roof when
their mother was taken UL She died af
ter a few days, and from that time until
the period of which I speak, the widower
had resided with the younger daughter.
: Now comes the stranger part of the
story. After an absence of over thirty
years, during which time no tidings had
arrived from him, the first husband re
turned as suddenly as he had departed.
ne had changed his ship adopting an
other name, and spent the whole of that
long period on the ocean, with only tran
sient visits on shore, while taking in or
discharging cargoes, having been careful
never to come nearer home than JNew Or
leans. Why he had acted in this unpar
donable manner towards the family, no
one could tell, and he obstinately refused
all explanation.
There were strange rumors of slave
trading and piracy afloat, but they were
only whispered conjecture rather than
truth. Whatever might have been his
motives for his conduct, he was certainly
anything but indifferent to his family con
cerns when he returned. He raved like a
madman when informed of his wife's sec
ond marriage, and subsequent death, vow
ing vengeance upon his successor, and ter
rifying his daughters with the most awful
threats, in - case they refused to acknowl
edge his claims. He had returned weal
thy, and one of the mean reptiles of the
law, who are always to be found crawling
about the halls of justice, advised him to
brin a suit against the second husband,
assuring him that he could recover heavy
damages. 1 he absurdity of instituting a
claim for a wife whom death had released
from the jurisdiction of earthly laws was
so manifest, that it was at length agreed
to by all parties to leave the matter to be
adjudged by hve referees.
It was upon a bright and beautiful af
ternoon in spring, when we met to hear
this singular case. . The sunlight streamed
through the dusty windows of the court
room, and shed a halo around the long,
grey locks and broad forehead of the de
fendant while the plaintiff's harsh feat
ures were thrown into still bolder relief by
the same beam which softened the placid
countenance of the adversary.
The plaintiff's lawyer made a most elo
quent appeal for his client, and had we not
been informed about the matter, our hearts
would have been melted by his touching
description of the return of the desolate
husband, and the agony with which he
beheld his household gods removed to
consecrate a stranger's hearth. The cele
brated Aaron Burr was counsel for the de
fendant, and we anticipated from him a
splendid display of oratory.
Contrary to our expectations, however,
Burr made no attempt to confute his op
ponent's oratory. He merely opened a
book of statutes, and pointing with his
thin finger to one of the pages, desired
the referees to read it, while he retired a
moment, for the principal witness.
We had scarcely finished the section,
which fully decided the matter in our
minds, when Burr re-entered with a tall
and elegant female leaning on his arm.
She was attired in a simple white dress,
with a wreath of ivy leaves encircling her
large straw bonnet, and a lace veil com
pletely concealing her countenance. Utirr
whispered a few words, apparently encour
aging her to advance, and then gracefully
raised ber veil, discovered to us a face of
proud surpassing beauty. I recollect as
well as it it happened yesterday, how sim
ultaneous the murmerof admiration burst
from the lips of all present Turning to
the plaintiff, Mr. Burr asked, in a cold,
ipiiet tone
"Do you know this lady ?
"I do."
"Will you swear to that !"
"I will; to the best of my knowledge
and my belief, she is my daughter."
"Can you swear to the identity P
"I can."
"Whatisherage !"
"She was thirty years old on the 20th
day of April."
"When did you last see her P
"At her own house about a fortnight
since.
"When did you see her previous to that
meeting I
lhe plaintiff hesitated a long pause
ensued the question was repeated, and
the answer at length was
"On the 14th day of May, 17."
"When she was just three weeks old,"
added Burr. "Gentlemen," continued he
turning to us, "I have brought this lady
here as an important witness and such, I
think she is. (Th plaintiff's con osel has
pleaded eloquently in to nan oi tieiw
reaved husband, who escaped the penis or
the tea and returned .only to find home
desolate. But who will picture to you
the lonely wife, bending over her daily
toil, devoting her best yean to the drudg
ery of sordid poverty, supported only by
the hope of her husband's return f Who
will picture the slow process of heart-sickening,
the wasting anguish of hope defer
red, and finally the overwhelming agony
which eame npon her when her last hope)
was extinguished, and she was compelled
to believe herself a widow. Who can de
pict all this without awakening in your
hearts the warmest sympathy for the de
serted wife, and the utterest scorn for the
mean, vile wretch, who could thus tram-
Ele on the heart of her whom he swore to
ve and cherish f We need not enquire
into his motive for acting so base a part.
Whether it was love of gain or licentious
ness, or selfish indifference, it matters not;
he is too rile a thing to be judged by such
laws as govern men. Let as ask the wit
ness she who now stands before as with
the frank, fearless brow of a true hearted'
woman let ns ask which of these two
has been to her a father.
Turning to the lady, in a tone whose
sweetness was a strange contrast with the
scornful accent which just characterised
his words, he besought her to relate brief
ly the recollections of her early life. A
slight flush passed over her proud and
beaatiful face as she replied :
"My first recollections are of a small ill
furnked apartment, which my sister and
myself .'bared with my mother. . She used
to carry out erery Saturday evening the
work which had occupied her during the
week, and bring back employment for tha
following one. Saving her wearisome

tendance at church, she never left the

ceased to mention him, though I observed

She drew her veil hastily around her as
she spoke, and moved as if to withdraw.
"Gentleman," said Burr, "I have no
m-e to say. The words of the law are
expressed in the book before yon; the
words of truth you have heard from wo
man's pure lips; it is for you to decide ac
cording to the requisition of nature and

I need not say that our decision was in
favor of the defendant, and the plaintiff
went forth followed by the contempt of
every honorable person who was present
at the trial.
THE CASE SUMMED UP.
The Detroit Post thus "codifies" the
reasons for a true, complete, beneficent
Reconstruction:.
If you want to have loyal States, you
must not exclude the loyal element from
the exercise of political power; or, in oth
er words, you must permit every loyal
man. Black as well as White, to vote.
If you want to secure the freed man in
his freedom, you must rrive him the po
litical power wherewith to protect himself.
it you want to promote the develop
ment of Free Labor in the South, you
must enable every man te enforce hit
rights as a free laborer by political action.
as all other rights are protected and en-,
forced.
If you want to place the National Debt
above all danger, you must not permit
those who owe to that National Debt their
freedom and all they cherish in their new
condition, to be excluded from the Right
of Suffrage, while those who owe to the
National Debt but their defeat are armed
with the ballot
If you want to enconraere loyalty and
confidence in the justice of the Govern
ment, yon must not sell out your friends
for the purpose of pleasing your enemies.
If you wan, to introduce harmony in the
political fabric of the Union, you must
make this a nation of citizens equal be
fore the law, and not tolerate the existence
of a numerous class without political rights, .
and depending for their civil rights upon
class legislation.
If you want to prevent their oenrrence of
sectional strife, you must do away with sec
tional divergencies by placing the political
organism of all the States, South as well
as North, upon the same basis of true dem
ocratic principle.
