THE LOVED NOT LOST.
"How strange it seems with so muehgoue
Of life and love; to still live on !
Ah brotberenly I and thou
Are left of that dear circle now, —
The dear home faces whereupon
That fitful firelight paled and shone,
Henceforward listen as we will,
The voices of that hearth are still:
Look where we may the wide earth o er
Those lighted faces shine no more.
We tcead the paths their feet have worn,
We sit beneath their orchard trees,
We hear like them the hum of bees
And rustle of thebladed corn :
We turn the pages that they road,
Their written words we linger o'er ;
Rutin the sun they east no shade,
No voice is heard, no sign is made.
No step is on the conscious floor !
Vet love will dream and faith will trust,
(Since he who knows our need is just.)
That somehow, somewhere, meet we must.
Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through Ins cypress trees 1
Vi ho hopeless lays his dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marble play !
Who hath not learned in hours of faith.
The truth to flesh and sense unknown,
That- Life is ever Lord of Death,
And Love can never lose its own
Whittiers Snow Bound.
SUMMER TItIENDS.
Let your summer friends go by
With the summer weather :
Hearts there are that will not. fly,
Though the storms should gather.
Summer love to fortune clings ;
From the wreck it saileth,
Like the bee that spreads its wings
When the honey faileth.
Rich the soil where weeds appear :
Let the false bloom perish :
Flowers there are mon rare and dear.
That you still may cherish.
Flo#ers of feeling pure and warm,
Hearts jhat cannot wither :
These for thee huli bide the storm.
As the sunny weather.
A ROMP.
That night when little Fan 1 sought
To help me with my song.
Her touch seemed iight and who d have
thought
Her wii■ t- were half so strong V
When first 1 saw her su my s-.nil ,
Her teeth of ; early while,
I thought of tender words the whil .
Nor dreamed that he oouid bite.
Around hei waist i often prayed
My truant arm- might steal :
I cannot hold her I'm afraid, _
She's lissome as an eel.
1 K.-ved her presence .ionics ago.
But now from Fan I'd flinch—
She's very pretty still, you know.

BEDFORD. Pa.. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7."1866.
HENRY WARD REiXHEIt UN
YOUNG MEN.
After the introductory services Mr. Beech
ertook his text ironi 1 Johnii, 14, in which
the young men are exhort-d to be strong,
and then preached a very lengthy and elab
orate isenuon to the young men of the pres
ent age.—Basing his premises on the inter
pretation of the passage which makes the
"young" mean the "military age," lie con
tended that as we look to the young in times
of physical trouble fm support; so ilicy are
the natural bulwark of society agaiust its
moral enemies. Af .cr a very elequent eu
logy of the character of the young of the
present age, he argued that society had a
right, to look to its young men for (I) the
redemption of labor. Cinder this head he
showed that the first and natural mistake
would oe to secure • and the laboring
man their rights by leg is.. on and.by pub
lic sentiment. "Legislation,'' said he,
"must follow the moral condition not lead
it. You cannot make men wise by votes nor
by lav. - alone can you educate them. Laws
arc situ ply tools, mere implements and ma
chines to work with, fhey may follow
moral reform, and secure its gains and make
its ways lawful. Law inay build schools
and provide funds, but it cannot educate. It
can then do something,but that which needs
to bo done for the tk ration oi labor must
be done iu some other way. In the free
States men grow imo their places, and by
no way known to us can you put them arti
ficially higher than they put themselves with
good effect Lome men are always looking
here, there and anywhere, for some one to
put them iu ahi rher or a better place.
They are attained o: w.-ir cubing, and think
to ennoble themselves by getting into anoth
er. Men seem ashauieu of labor, and often
you shall find men who Have made them
senes re,- (Ki ted in labor, have built up a
business and amassed a fortune, who turn to
their son.- and say, "Yoa hall sever do as
i did; jou shall lead a different life; you
shall be pavc.i alt tuL.' "Oh, these rich
men's on s ! They aim to lead a life of ele
gant leisure ; and that is a iite of emascula
ted idleness and lazirtes . Lao. the polypus
that iloat-m ui. ss and nasty upon the sen,
ail jti.y, aii ilabby, no muscle, m, bone—it
stints : uu opens and opens and shuts, and
.sucks in and squirts out again, of no earthly
acedunt, influenue or nan. Such are these
, ..r 100 is. Their parents toiied and grew
.-t; .ny built up their frames of iron and
of b:m-, in denying all this to ilmir sons,
: y tn.'ti them upon the world boneless,

j What if }\ ado get youi time induced to

iolhrs, does that educate you ? All these

youngnuii, the volume of being and the

tociutie societies, the tendency of society is
to elevate the few and depress the masses,

be true that the tens a;c more scarce than

TALLEYRAND AND ARNOLD.
There was a day when Talleyrand arrived
in Havre; hot foot from Pat"'. It was in
thu darkest hour of the French Revolution.
Pur-ued by the bi;s.dhouads of the IT ign
of Terror, .stripped of < very wreck of prop

In the far corner of a dimly lighted room,

From a window directly oppn-ite, a flood of
light poured over his forehead. Hi; eyes

VOLUME 39; NO 51.
HOW TO SUSTAIN YOUR LOCAL
PAFF.It.
I.—Lay aside your f&ars that the Editor
will get rich faster than his neighbors. We
have river heard of a man making more
than a decent living by a publication of a
county newspaper, even if ho had ever such
a good badness. A ease in point is an ac
quaintance of onrs, who has been publish
ing . utiie six or seven years, lias had all the
businc - of his own town and, county, and a
large portion of that of the surrounding;
hut with all this he gets into tight piriehe
for money to buy his white paper with, as
well as any other publisher with whom we
are acquainted.
—if the paper agrees with your ways
of thinking, sub, ribe and pay for it, and
persuade j our neighbors of the same mind
to "goanddo likewise.'" Do not tell the
editor to send you the paper without paying
and when you get to owe tro or three dol
lars. ted yrur friends who speak of it, that
the paper is of no account, that it will burst
up one of these d;s . The way, under such
a state of the ea e, to keep a paper from
"'bursting up," is for each, subscriber to
keep the editor'-h-mks free from cbftrges
against hint; elf. Once we had to close, and
on posting up, found that we had booked
and outstanding some S2OO more than we
had capital invested. This thing of apply
ing the ertd if.system to the newspaper bu
siness may be likened to a farmer selling
out his crop, a bushel to the mac. The sum
each owes for a bushel, does not seem ofany
account to tbo debtor, but the aggregate of
these bushels may make or break the poor
delverin the soil.
3. —Ifyou have a fa the*, mother, brother,
sister or friend, of any kind, resi ling at a
distance and are able, .subscribe, pay for and
send them a copy.
4. —If you have any printing you wish
done, do not "jew" the editor down ton
starvation price, and when he comes to
make a purchase of you "spike on the tar
iff."
5. —If you have any advertising or job
work you wish done, take it to your county
paper, except, perhaps, you may wish to
advertise in more than one paper,
(V, —Do not run off to the city to get your
handbill-, labels, cards, ore., printed, be
er r- : forsooth, you can get a reduction of a
few cents in price. Support your own as
you wish to be supported. A man who is
always running away from home with his
buhiu. little deserves the patronage of the
community in which he live- : and a . far as
we are concerned, such wiil receive the
"cold shoulder.
7.—lf you have the e at.vl of the legal
advertising, send it to your friend. This
kind busine pays l 't r then any other
and the more you can send to the editor of
your paper, the better for hiru and it. In
proportion to the amount oi the receipts oi
a paper, is an editor enabled to make it use
ful, amusing an 1 entertaining to the com
inanity in which it is published.
S. —Do not expect much of a paper when
an t ".tor is driven to be hi. own compositor,
proof reader, pressman and "devil," and
i:as to run all over town every forenoon in
the vain search for a "quarter ' to buy
something for his dinner.
v. -i io "trot expect tns editor fo make
honorable mention of you or your business
every few weeks for nothing. The space in
the paper and a man s time, are worth
something, and every notice comes back to
th-: drawer of the recipient in dollars and
cents. An i liter should not be allow.-1 to
go hungry, hard acted or barefooted. They
"eat" drink and weai. jusi like other peo
ple.
10.—-It the editor owes you a shilling, do
not chase him from "rosy morn to balmy
eve" l'or it, and when you happened to get
the balance on the other side, "cut the gen
tleman's acquaintance."
1! —"Fi a !y, my brethren," if you wish
to properly susi-utn your county paper to
live the balance of your days in peace
with God and man, and occupy a seat in
Paradise after death, practice the Golden
Rule—"Do unto others as you would wish
they would do unto you," under like cir
cumstances.
HAUiIIAGES OF COUSINS.
Some very interesting facts in connection
with the subject of marriages of con ;i
guinity have just been put on record i; a
French suitieian. lie carried on investiga
tion:- in the town of Batz. in the French
Department of the lioire Infcrieure. Hav
ing - ".acted forty-gix ca.-es of consanguin
eous marriages; he examined the husbands
wives and children, both in regard to their
physical and intellectual development, and
made inquiries about the families examined
and their ancestors, through the assistance
of the mayor, pastor and oldest inhabitants.
Combining the statistics thus collected, he
has found that intermarriages do not bring
about di-ease. idiocy, or malformation.
Hr.rever. it is important to remark that
these r übs are attributed by the writer to
the favorable climate of the locality, and to
the . mm,.! habits, hygiene, and morality of
the inhabitants, as well as to the absence of
all !;• reditary disease. The town of Batz
is sittu:- d upon a peninsula, bounded on
one side by the rocks of the seashore, and on
the other by salt marshes. The air is pure
atid the most frequent winds are from the
north, northeast and northwest The num
ber of inhabitants is about 3,500. They
have- little communication with other parts I
of the country, and their occupation is al
most confined to the preparation of salt, j
Thejrate t i\v intelligent, almost, all tho 1
adults l-ieiusr *.: -to r ad. The morality is
of tie hi a. . -tamp, pirndilution being
unknown. Theft and murder have not oc
cur \ d within tho recollection of the oldest
inhabitant. Mothers nunc their children
i ti-1 * hey are fifteen months old, and the
general food of, the }>opukiUon is of the
ve.-viable cla. s. There are, at present in
the Ihi-z forty-,jy consanguidcoa- pairs of
first to' in?, five unions between second
cousins- hirty-one marriages of third cous
ins, and i of cousins in the fourth degree.
From the hv. unions of second cousin?,
there have b- n twenty three children, none
of whi tn have presented any congenital de
|f •, itv. five thirty one marriages of third
j c vi-'.iis hive pi tduced one hundred and
j ;w:.uty child: - 1, ali iuelihy ; and the war

ssv uty-ninv child -vi ill of whom, with the
I <>v -ption of tho- ■ who died of ague, were i
| sr mu and h ai h a? the period of examin
1 a i n. The writer contends that such facta
the foregoing prove thaf consanguineous
marriages by no means lead to tho degener
ation of a race.

A RAKE SPECIMEN OF ZOOLOUY.,
Entered our boat linn village on Saturday
evening last and quartered in the yard of
13 a urn's "Mansion House." during the
night. It is the only living specimen of
Gireffe, or Oaiuclopard, now in the United
States, belonging to the celebrated "Van
Amburg Menagerie," on its way to Barnaul's
Museum, New York, via Allentown, Easton
&c. The animal was secured in a mammoth
wagon, drown by six cream-colored horses
and accompanied by.two men —its keeper
and the driver of the teaiu. The manageric
stopped operations for the season at.some
point in Indiana, about sixty miles from
Cincinnati, Ohio, and the remaining animals
were sent to winter quarters in New York,
by rail. The rare and interesting specimen
referred to ha- been in transit some four
weeks cr move, making the distance, thus
far in stage of twenty to twenty-five miles
per day. The magnificent den containing
the Giraffe is carefully padded, placed on
improved elliptic springs, upon a stout car
nage nearly touching the ground. The cage
is almost air tight, the animal carefully
blanketed and nursed tenderly. Its food
consists of good cloycr hay and oats. It is
nearly full grown—a female—about, five
years old, and weighs nine hundred pounds,
its keeper iriiormed me. The weight of the
animal and wagon together (as weighed on
the scales of lis ; Black Horse tavern, in your
city) is three thousand six hundred pounds.
The party expected to reach New York city
a week hence. To my great sunrise the in
telligeut keeper"of this rara an* proved
him- If to re a former acquaintance—a
member of Duryea's New York Zouaves,
who aided in the construction of the famous
Fort on Federal Hill, Baltimore, a fortifica
tion which kept in terror and obeisance the
infamous secession element in Maryland,
shortly after the memorable attack on the
Massachusetts volunteers, in April, ,1861.
My Yankee friend assured me that out of
that spiend-d regiment, consisting of nearly
eleven hundred men, only two hundred and
sixty-five of its original members escaped
from the terrible <. Fa! of disease and death
on the many baffle-fields; and starvation in
the Rebel mnnFp-p. ns. But I aai getting
too prolix. More anon, JOHNNY SCRHU

AMBER.
Amber, so extensively employed as mouth

er.-. is believ i to be a fossilized vegetable

was attributed to it. As it was found on the
sea shore after a storm, it was said to be the
solidified tears of the sisters of Phaeton, or
of sea nymph-. It. i- fa yellowish color,
frequently streaked with milky white, the

_ LITTLE SINS. —There arc two ways of coin
ing down from the top of a church steeple;
one is to j imp down, and the other is to
conic down by the steps; but both will lead
to the bottom. So also there are two ways
of going to hell: one is to walk into it with
your eyes open.—few people do that, —the
other is to go down by the steps of little sins
and that way, I fear, is only too common.
Put up with a few little sins, and you will
j ;oon want of w more; —even a heathen
could say "\Yk > ever was content with only
one sin? —ar; 1 then your course will be reg
ularly worse :.nd worse every year. Well
did Jeremy Taylor describe the progress of
sin in a man :
"First, it startles him, then it becomes
pleasing, then confirmed! Then the man
is impenitent; then obstinate; and then he
is damned."
Reader, the devil only wants to get the
wedge of a little allowed sin into your
hearts, and you will soon be all his own.
Never play with fire. Never trifle with lit
tle sins.
