| TALES OF FLOCK I I AND ADVENTURE. | Weill to Wi?r For Her llrotlirr. ~Tf LBEKT HASSEK, of CJer/ \ many, was a recent visitor to Allegheny to sec his sister. ? Kuniguuile llasser, who thirty years ago served in his stead in the army of the Fatherland. For two years and six months she served hefore it was discovered that she was not her brother, who was the person drafted. The Herman lass of twenty years was one of a family of eight children, seven of whom were girls. The mother was an Invalid, the father blind and tlie breadwinner for the family was ihe only sou, Albert llasser. The Fatherland was engaged in war. Albert llasser was drafted and starvation stared the family in the face. wuen Kunlguude announced her in tcntiou of going iuto (lie army in her brother's plane. The family wuited. trembling ami fearful of discovery, while the brave girl put on her brother's clothes, imitated his appearaU'-e in every possible way, and marched away with the others drafted to the war. Patriotism is strong in the <Ionium woman, and it gave to the spirit of Kmiigunde Hasser a courage fully equal to that of the men of her company. Her letters home were frequeut and they were all signed with her brother's name and addressed to herself. Kef ore many weeks of army libwere gone by the girl grew desperately home sick, but that made no difference. She proved herself as good a sollder as the brother whose place she tilled could possibly have been. Cheering letters addressed to himself came to her from Albert and never onee did she think of giving tip the desperate role she had assumed. During her term of service she fought in three battles, but was never once wounded. Twice she was made a prisoner. U took quite as much eourItt ft )i<k --?* ? .x. ...xx iin iuuhii rniiiM'iu "i lilt' prison life as it did to stand firm to her purpose on the hattlcflcd when the bullets were singing iu her ears. They were subject to the greatest hardships and fed on water and hardtack, with barely enough of that to keep 1 hem from starvation. After being a prisoner for six weeks Miss llasser escaped. She cunningly eluded the guards and when the prb oners wore next counted one was missing. She was recaptured iu a week or two and her second period of imprisonment was three months long. All the suffering that could go with being huddled with a host of other prisoners in a place tlia' was not a decent abode for rats, and never once getting enough of the roughest fare to satisfy hunger, she endured and no one ever suspected her secret. It was just after her third liattle that trouble came in the shape of discovery. There had been great slaughter among the forces. It seemed as if most of the men in her company had been killed. She expected to lie killed herself, hut a special providence seemed to protect her. for she was not even wounded. The remnant of the company gathered about a eamptire. some dropping on the ground, worn out with the strain of the battle, others bathing the grime and perspiration Irom their faces and hands. The woman was a tin in ** llm - tiling aroused the suspicions of u fellow soldier, lie watched her for a few moments ami then went up to where she stood and asked her name. She gave t lie name of her brother. "Are you sure you're a man'.'" asked the comrade, doubtfully. "Quite sure," she responded coolly, but with trembling knees. lie went to the captain of the company and told his suspicions. lie called the surgeon and then the woman knew the last hope of rcuminiug undiscovered was pone and she confessed that she had come in her brother's place and told the story of the substitution. She expected to be shot, although ihe officers assured her that no harm should coific to her. On her knees and in tears she la gged them to allow her to say a prayer ami write a farewell to her mother before they condemned her to death. For some time she could not be made to understand that she was to receive no punishment. other than an honorable dis charge for the noble part she had played. The scene around the camp lire was one that will never be forgotten bv those who snw It. The heroic nud patriotic part she had played touched the hearts of the roughest of the men. nml many a soldier who would not' have uttered a groan beneath the surgeon's knife, brushed away a tear with the soiled, blood-stained sleeve of his uniform. ( eorge Hlldebrand. who now lives In Chestnut street, Allegheny, was in the same company. ller lira very caused Adaui Karl, an otlicer of the company, to fall In love with her. She was sent home at once, and for a long time he lost track of her. hut when bis term in the army expired he sought for her until he found her, hut she eoujd not be persuaded to become his i wife. Miss Ilasser's fear that when the cpmpany discovered her deception her brother would be obliged to go and finish out the term of service, of which several months yet remaincu, was never realized, and lie was not only left ?t home to take enro of his parents and sisters, but the family was placed in a position from which not even a far-off gliftipsc of poveriy could be had. .Miss Hasser came many years ago to this city, where a number of her relatives reside, among them her aunt, lira IJurgaret KuttoD^'er, of lilgeluw - sti'Oet.

Ths Apocrapha HO QUOTES SO!i\R OF THE BOOK Talks About Family Influence In (iood Government for the Whole of Our Country. The family is the most important institutions upon the earth, lc is tlio hope of the world. Its influence Is greater than that, of kings. empcroi or cabinets. Parents and children gathered around the hearthstones in separate families make up communities, and they make states and nations and choose their rulers. As the frillies are, so is the government -good or had?men?unmarried men aro merely individuals and tool no great responsibility outside ot their individual comfort and welfare. But parents ar? concerned for their children. \\*e live for .them and would die for them, consequently we want good government that will protect them. But it is not every family who feels this deep concern. From my window 1 see the homes of many neighbors and can count on my lingers those whose i?rtciia: is 01 sareguaru to the community. and the rest are of hut HbtJe con^aoqoence. If they wore lo move away it would add to our peril, t-'c if. is in all communities. The few protect the many. So it is in church and state. Twenty niembors of our legislate, r? control its legislation. Ten members of an average church membership give the church its character. Sodom wae destroyed because 'en good inen could not ho found. If all men were good we would have no need of courts or prisons. Hut for every church that is set on a hill there is a jail in the valley. I hear the preacher calling and the bell tolling from the one. and Imagine i hear the devil calling from the other, and he cries out as the sergeants did in the old muster language, "Oh. yesi Oh. yes! All who belong to Captain Satan's company phnde here." And the people are g'oing and coming all the time some to one call and more to tlm other. Hut as the devil can't he heard afar oft', he goes about calling, and oven invades tho sanctuary and calls aloud while the preacher is preaching. "Man never erects a house of pra> er Hut what the devil builds a pulpit there. And 'twill he found upon examination The dovil has the largest eomgn gntion." His pulpit is always at the rear end where the young people love to sit. and you can tell bow popular tie Is by the number who sit there. T U-M,-' t?ll **>i ?* i M rr nKonf 5 ? ? institution and its great importance in tlie world beoauee I have been rnidtrg about it in the Apocrypha, which is one of our family Bibles. 1 heard a preacher say once that a Bible with the Apocrypha in it should not stay in his houso. Well, it took 1.83d years to exclude it from >the l*rotestaiit Bible, and most of it is In the Romotn Catli'dic Bible yet. What Is called a sacred canon was not established until the sixteenth century, and for centuries before that almost every great theologian had his own catalogue of inspired books as lie believed tliem. For 300 years only :nn of Paul's epistles were admitted. The Book of St. James and the R. relation of St. John were excluded. So were listher and Daniel and Jonah in the Old Testament. I.uv.her tried to have Hebrews, and J'iitnes. and Judo, and the Revelations of St. John excluded, but failed.

Addison says that if this hook had been left in tho canon or if it bad the name of some great Greek philosopher, it would have commanded tho admiration of mankind. To my mind it Is the condensation of wisdom for family government. It is as pointed and pungent .'us anything that Solomon ever wro'e. This Jesus was n boyter man than Solomon, lie livou and -wrote .100 years after Malochi, thtlaM of the prophets. In the close of his narrative concerning Moses and the prophets, he says of Solomon: "By his body he was brought, into sub jectlon and didst stain his honor ami pollute his seed a~nd brought wrath upon his children, and his kingdom was divided." I never did have a profound admiration for a man who said. "ReJJjoire, Oh. yours* man. in the wife of thy youth, and bo flvcm always ravisired with her love." and then goer; off and marries 300 wives and takes 700 concubines. His precepts wore pood, but his example was bad, very bad. My doetrine has alwyas boon that a man has no more right to fwo wives than a woman has to two husbands. Let him stand by his marriage vows. This is the ir.jjjjunc tion of Jesus, the ev>n of Sineh. As a sample of his wisdom let me quote: "A man that breaketh his we-Hoc k. saiyirR. Who seeth me. ami not eompaaped al>oiit with darkness.' he forgottriili that the eyes of the Jxml are ten ''housand times brighter than the sun." "B!o?to:r?d is he who hath a viituous wife, for the numlcor of hLs days shall be doubled." "A silent and loving woman is a gift from the lord." "A f>x>l will peep in at the door of the hoiise. but ho that Is well nurtured OT8' r ' +: 1 will stand without." "Do not 'banquet upon borrowed money." "Commend not a man for his o.itward appearmnce. for many kings haw sat down upon the ground, and one that was never upon tha. ground, ami one that was never thought of hath worn tho crown."

"Sit n-ct down with the wife of another man In thine arms, for it will bring thee to destruction." "My .- >n. helup thy father in his old I age and thou shall 'have joy in thiue own children." "Have no fellowship with those who are mightier and 1 ichor than thyself, for how can the earthen kettle and the pet agree." "When a rich nran speaketh every nr.ill lioldcth his tongue and extol it to the clouds, but if a poar man speak, they say. 'What 'fulitnv is this?' " "Build no; a. house with another main's money, for it is like gathering stones for the tomb of thy burial." "A thief is better than a common liar." "Accustom not thv mouth to shearing nor to the naming of the Holy One." "Against him that is niggard of his me.it his neighbors shall murmur."

Whether this book Is inspired or not, it is full of devotion to (loii and grati-, tiule for His goodness. The Old Testa, nient Hebrews canon was made up and closed before this Jesus livod or perhaps Roclesiatiriis would have been embraced in it. It is certainly entitle 1 to as much consideration as Solomon's Son. for there is not a vulgar or lascivious expression in it. This much about the Apocrypha will answer some inqulrl^r I have received. two of them from preachers. I have a long letter from my obi friend, Bishop Turner, concerning that recent publication of William Hannibal Thomas that bill of indictment against the negroes of his own race. Ho denouc *s Thomas. His opinion is that some learned white men wrote the bcok and paid Thomas for the use of his name. He says this is the opinion of those la South Carolina who know this seanogallows. He says "I am well acquainted with him: knew liim during the war in front of Richmond, where some southern hero shot off one of his arms, and it ia a pity he did not shoot hi-* head off. He is now receiving an exorbitant pension from the United Stai?-s government. If there ever wtas money paid to a dog it is paid to him. If the white people of the south knew half ,.s much about his rascality and villa.ny as he bus told me. they would seek hi? blood. If our preachers are so bad as lie represents them, what did ho stop for and join the party of the devil. He was one of the preachers of my church and will be until hell open her arms to receive him." etc. I have been following" Bishop Turner's course eve r" since the war, a.nl have never known aught against him as a man and Christian. In the year "lst.fi, when our people at Rome we-e under the oppression of a Spanish captain. one l >00 la Mesa. Bishop Turner acted as a mediator and tried to make our condition more tolerable.
