THE Prussian Bible Society in Berlin ha? distributed since its foundation in IS J 4 'more than three millions of copies of the Holy Scriptures. In the year 1807 alone the number was 90,000. • A SEMINARY has lately been founded near Berlin to educate preachers and teachers foi the German emigrants in North America. It is called the Stercnhaus (star-house) after the banner of the United States. WHEN Asa Packer was a member of Con gress, during the session of nine months, he was only in attendance fifty four days, yet he drew pay for the whole time. Do the people of Pennsylvania want such a man for their Governor? THE Pemocratic papers fly at the head of their columns "For Governor, Asa Pack er, of Carlton County," and then they de clare that he does not live there at ail. but that his home is in Philadelphia. Why can't they tell the truth?— Lebanon Courier. WHY does not the Democratic State Cen- ; tral Committee furnish the people of Penn sylvania with the record of Cyrus L Persh ing? Ills votes in the Legislature during the war, on all measures looking to the sup port of our soldiers in the field, would prove instructive reading to loyal men. IT is estimated by the Treasury officials that the public debt statement this month will show a further decrease of $lO,OOO, OX). The good work goes bravely on. Republi can integrity in the collection and disburse ment of the revenues, is steadily and surely pulling down the public debt. THE cattle disease is dying out fast in Prussia. In the province of Bradenburg special precautions have been abandoned in the districts of Lebus, Landsberg, and Sternberg, with the exception of two or three small localities. In the province of Prussia proper no new eases have appeared for weeks. THE Chambersburg Repository says that .he Democratic aspirants for the Congres sional nomination next fall are taking time by the forelock. There are already in the field from that district viz: Win. S. Steng er, of the Valley Spirit, B. F. Meyers, of the Harri-burg Patriot, and Alexander Cof froth, an ex M. C. Thus far Stenger is ahead. AN exchange says the copperheads are busy at secret work. They are canvassing every district in the county, and expect to get out their full vote. They think they are catching the Republicans napping, and are already congratulating each other on their expected gain. Republicans, will you sleep while the enemy are working for your overthrow ? THE Chicago Republican of Tuesday says: "The jury called for the trial of criminal | causes in this Court was discharged yester day morning by Judge McAllister appar- ■ ently for the reason that their general ap pearance was scarcely more creditable than the prisoners arraigned.'' THE St. Crispins, in Massachusetts, who have 110 lodges with a membership of over 30,000, have made arrangements to pur chase coal in Philadelphia and flour in the West, and to transport them to that State for their use. They expect to obtain these ; articles by this means at a very cheap rate. A FRENCH convict, after having served twenty-five years imprisonment for his crime j at Cayenne, returned to France and attract ed the attention of the police by his lavish expenditure of money. He was arrested, and stated that he Lad found the money of the man whom he Lad murdered in the place where he had concealed it. A domestic romance comes from New York. Twenty-two years ago a couple were married, had one son, lived together ten years, and then, after losing all their prop- ' erty, procured a divorce. The woman mar ried again, and got a fortune: the husband didn't, and remained poor. And now that the woman has become a rich widow, she i has re married her first husband. AN enterprising colored man in Trenton, N. J., devised a petition to the common council of that city, asking for an enlarge- i ment of the school house for colored child ren. It occurred to him that the signatures of certain white folks might be servie. able, and he applied for and obtained a large number. The petition commences, "We, the parents of the colored children!" SOME excitement has been created at Col umbus, Miss., by the appearance there of four immense insects, supposed to be Egyp tain locusts. They were three times as large as the common locusts, with large black eyes, legs of great strength, feathers like a Shanghai chicken, tails similarly adorned, and a hard shell covering. The like of them was never seen before by the oldest inhabitants. THE last .-uiviviDg soldier of the Revo lution pensioned under the general laws died in 1867, and of the two soldiers pen sioned by special acts of Congrc-s, David F. Bakemau, of New York, survived at the date of last year's pension report. Nancy Serena, of I'ittsbureh. Pa., is the only survivor of revolutionary widows married prior to the close of tLe war. Of those married to soldiers of the Revolu tion since January 1, 1793, BSB remained upon the rolls November 1, 1868, but as the decrease by death in the year preceding that date amounted to 109. the number will now probably not reach 800. The total amount of pensions paid to revolutionary soldiers is $46,082,175, and to their widows and orphans, $19,254,755. The revolu tionary widows will disappear from the rolls with INCREASING ratio each year, and in a short time the revolutionary pension list will have ceased to exist. NATHANIEL MAPES, RESIDING near Tuuk hannock, was recently bitten in the hand by a "pet" rattlesnake. His hand and arm soon became much swollen, and turned to a dark spotted color far some days, but by reason of the copious flow of blood pro duced by the fangs of the snake, or the prompt application of proper remedies, or both, no very great inconvenience has beeu experienced by him. This interesting pet, one of the largest of his species, having twelve rattles, had been captured a few weeks previously — had been kept in a box about the mill as a curiosity. His teeth or fangs having been drawn out, he was sup posed to be harmless, and was therefore handled by his keeper in a careless way. After the ungrateful bite, it was found that new fangs to the length of nearly an inch had grown since the first dental operation on him. BEDFORD, PA.. FRIDAY, O T. N- 1869. GTOTNI, INDIAN SUMMER. Jnst after the death of the flowers, And before they are buried in snow, There comes a festival season. When nature is all aglow— Aglow with a mystical splendor That rivals the beauties of Spring— Aglow with a beauty more tender Than aught which fair Summer could hriig. Some spirit akin to the rainbow, Then borrows its magical dyes, And mantles the far spreading landscape In hues that bewilder the eyes. The Sun from its cloud-pillowed chamDcr Smiles soft on a vision so gay, 4 And dreams that bis favorite cbildrei, The flowers have not yet passed nwiy. There's a luminous mist on the maintains, A light, azure haze in the air, As if angels, while heavenward soaring, Had left their bright robes floating there ; The breeze is so soft, so caressing, It seems a mute token of love, And floals to the heart like a blessing, From some happy spirit above. These d >ys so serene and so charming, Awaker. a dreamy delight— A tremulous, tearful enjoyment, Like soft strains of music at night ; We know they're fading and fleeting, That quickly, too quickly they'll end, An'd we watch them with a yearning affection, As at parting we watch a dear friend. Oh ! beautiful Indian Summer! Thou favorite child of the year, Thou darling whom Nature enriches, With gifts and adornments so dear ! llow fain would we woo thee to linger On mountains and meadow awhile, For our hearts, like the sweet haunts of Na ture, Rejoice aRd grow young in thy smile. .iUi.'.-Ciilanvcuf;, ALDERMAN M'.HULLIN. This notorious Philadelphia desperado, the associate of thieves and rowdies, and, at the same time, a prominent leader of the Democracy, played a bold part the other day in the Board of Aldermen, while that body was engaged in the appoint ment of election officers for the Fourth ward, the ward in which he resides, and where, among the Democracy, he exer cises the power of a despot—his word be ing the law by which they are governed. While the question on the election of cer tain officers named (who were objectiona ble to Alderman M'Mullini was pending, the following dialogue, as reported in the Philadelphia Bulelin, took place: Alderman M'Mulliu —They cau never go there. I will bet a hundred dollars on it. Alderman Jones —We will have to move the ward out, then. Alderman M'Mullin—When the day of election come? we will crowd the place with meD. The Chair—Alderman. you should be ashamed of yourself. lam surprised that you make threats. Alderman M'Muffin—On election day don't let them go in. There will be murder if they do. Alueriuau Cloud moved that the resolu tion as read be adopted. Alderman M Muffin proposed as an amendment a long list of names. Alderman Cloud moved to lay the amend ment on the table. Alderman M'Mullio characterized the motion a? being unfair. The Chair said the question was not de batable. Alderman M'Mullin—Well, there will be trouble there then. The Chair—The gentleman should be ashamed of making threats. Alderman Joues asked that the room be cleared. Alderman M'Mullio—You Lad better attempt to put them out; you will see what you will get. There will bo threo or four thousand men let loose on the day oi election. The motion to lay upon the table was agreed to. Alderman Jones called the previous question, which was the adoption of the resolution. Agreed to. The resolution, as read by the clerk, was then agreed to. The Chair declared the names as the officers to conduct the election in October. Alderman M'Mullin—You will have club law, then on election day. The Chair —It is beneath your dignity to make any such threats, or use such lan guage." This bold and bloody threat of club law and murder—this open and shameless declaration of resistence to law and breach of the peace, was made by M'Mullin, him self an alderman, in the face of the Board and iu utter di-rogard of the moral sense of the sober-minded citizens of Philadel phia. The man himself is regardless of all moral aud legal restraints. Hill M Muffin is a reckless desperado, ready at any timo to perform what he threatens, and we may therefore expeet serious trouble iu the Fourth ward on the day of election. But if the Alderman is a villain, he is not a sneaking one, and in this respect differs from some other leaders of his party, lie has openly proclaimed hi? intention of resorting to violence, and committing "murder," if necessary to prevent the officers of election, regularly and legally chosen, from acting. The citiiens of Phila delphia being thus "forcwarntd" of the impending danger, will no doult be pre pared to meet and overcome it. But what must the decent Democracy t'rink < A leader who thus declares bis intention to he come a murderer unless he can have nscn of like character to act as officers of election in his ward? They should feel ashamad of even party association with such an in grained scoundrel; and yet it is notorious that this same bloody minded Bill H'Mulha ruled the State Convention that nominated Packer, and played a conspicuous part in buying delegates to vote for him. To hire, in fact, more than to any other man, Packer owes his nomination; and not a Democratic paper in the State dares now to condemn his btutal conduct in the Board of Aldtr men. M'Mullio rules them ali. BE not proud of riches, but afraid qf them lest they be a silver bar to cross the way to heaven. You must answer for riches, but riches cannot answer for you.

With a desire to show A-a Packer up be j fore the people whose votes he solicits on j the second Tuesday of October, and desir-! inn to do him no injustice, we wrote to one of his neighbors, agentlemanof unimpeach able integrity, to give us such reliable proofs of Packer's alleged extortions and Rebel sympathies as might be depended on, and proven when assailed. While we were fully convicted of his turpitude and treason, we confess we were unprepared for the in iquitous depths of this bad man's record during the war aud since its close. The astounding revelations of our corres-1 pondent will startle every one, and it must disgust every man not sunk in the bigotry of party aud hopelessly given over to com plicity with any crime which may be com mitted by a Democrat. Our correspondent says, "since May last the Lehigh A'alley Railroad, of which Asa Packer owns three fifths, has advanced its tolls 57 cents per tOli 0U vonl. Tlo tvllo io May WdC 81 punt a per ton ; in June 94 cents ; in duly ?1 15; and in August and September $1 3S per ton. The amount of coal shipped on that road in the dullest month was 88,000 tons, and this all comes off the consumers." It will tbus appear that the advance in four months has been as follows, on 90,000 tons per month : Advance in June sc. per ton $4,500 tK) " July 34e. " 30,600 00 " Aug. 57c.

To add anything to this shameful, grasp ing robbery of the poor for the sake of an office by A-a Packer would be idleness. But what follows, showing his bitter hostili ty to his native land, and his cringing adula tion of rebels, is a separate and lonely base ness, in the depths of which his other groveling te ins honorable. Our corres pondent proceeds. "Wl-en Packer was in Kurope, ( I hare this from one of his travel ing companions), he was hobnobbing with Breckinridge, Slidell and Jake Thompson, while his companions refused to be intro duced to them. He has built a house near his University for the widow of Senator Broadhead, the niece and adopted daughter of Jeff. Davir, and when Davis was released from Fortress Monroe Packer went to New York, expre&dy to meet him, while he was '■n mute to Canada. Col. Joe Davis, of the rebel army, a brother of Jef}., is now an oc cupant of tin House built by Packer for Jeff. Davis' niece." We add no comments. We only de:-ire to say that if any man desires to assure himself of these disgraceful facts about the Democratic candidate for Gover nor of our State, we will endeavor to assist him if he will call at cur office.

IN Mississippi the Democracy are sup porting a negro for Secretary of State. Oh, [ consistency, thou art a jewel. THE JIAUCU CHUNK WAR MEET-! ING, For some time past the Democratic pa pers in this State have been trying to make capital for Asa Packer by publishing aud commenting on the proceedings of a war meeting held at Mauch Chunk during Lee's invasion, and in which Mr. P. participated. Such tactics on the part of papers that never said a word in favor of the war while it was in progress, but, on the contrary, frequently denounced it as unnecessary, un constitutional, and cruel, is somewhat re markable, and noteworthy as showing a great change of sentiment, or, otherwise, contemptible hypocrisy. But be this may, they will fail utterly in their purpose, which is to create a soldier sentiment in favor of their candidate. The brave men who served in the ranks of the army during the war have had too wide a field of expe rience to be easily imposed upon. They know who sustained and who opposed the war, and no death bed repentance, or hypo critical pretense of patriotism on the part of the latter can mislead or deceive them. In regard to the Mauch Chunk meeting, the simple facts will show how little credit attaches to Asa Packer for the part he played. The meeting was held daring Lee's invasion, when every property bolder in the State trembled for the safety of his pos sessions ; and Asa Packer, who had opposed the war while it only "thundered in the dis tance," shook like Belshazzer in all his members when it approached his own door. He was moved, in what he did, by self in terest, not by patriotism and loyalty. In order to show clearly the part he act ed and the credit h# deserves, we repub lish the following from the Mauch Chunk Gazette : "Judge Packer's presence at the war meeting, was caused entirely by the preva lent fear that the rebel raiders were coming over into the coal region to tear up the rail roads, destroy property generally and, es pecially, put an end to the coal supplies, which were vital to our government. His whole conduct on that occasion, in nervous ly urging men to volunteer, was totally at variance with his course during all the pre ceding years of the war, and so soon as this imminent danger had passed away, he sub sided at once into his former lethargic in difference to the country's fate. This proves conclusively enough, that his momentary zeal was caused entirely by selfish considera tions. In short, his conduct in that mat ter, was on a par with his coarse concern ing his taxes. He cared nothing for the country, but everything for bis own prop erty.. "All this has been fully shown before. But, the Packer organ here, being reduced to the most desperate stiaits, has hunted up the resolutions passed at that meeting, and published them as representing the senti ments of Mr. Packer. This may be called decidedly rich. The committee which drafted the resolurions numbered fifteen, comprising many of our most undoubted and entliu-iactic loyalist, both Republaeans and War Democrats, including Dr. D. Shoe ! maker, Joshua Bullock, and others of equal prominence. Asa Packer's name was the second from the last in the list. He had no hand in drawing up the resolutions, but when they were read to the whole commit tee, he objected to all the more emphatic and positive statements of Union sentiments, and succeeded in getting several sentences modified, which reflected severely upon Northern sympathizers with the rebellion. One clause in particular, tchich denounced "traitors, both North and South," was erased entirely in consequence of his violent opjtosilion to it. "We desire it to be distinctly understood, in the remotest corners of the State, as it is known here, in his home, that the Demo cratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylva nia, was in the closest sympathy with the Peace or Secession wing of the Northern De mocracy, that he was one of those who re joiced in our defeats and mourned over our victories. '' DO YOU COMPREHEND the PERIL! la 1871 tbo LEGISLATURE will havo dornlv ed upon it the duty of apportioning Penn sylvania both for Congressional and Legis tive representation. Both of these appor tionments have not fallen on the same year since 180.1, and will not fall on the same year again till 1041. This consideration is of the utmost political importance. It has been demonstrated in all the recent contests in this State, that the Republicans have a handsome majority of the votes on a full poll, and that the Democrats hold a majority of the counties. Every experien ced politician comprehends that the State can be divided into Congressional and Leg islative districts, on purely territorial bases, and in conformity with the letter of the Constitution, while giving the minority the larger part of the representation. This would be to contemn and frustrate the es sential spirit of a democracy, which incul cates that the majority shall rule. livery politician comprehends, moreover, that the State can bo districted with due reference to territorial considerations, and yet respect the intrinsic rights of the major ty to govern, thus complying with the spirit as well as the letter of the Constitution. That this may be done, it is indispensa- I lie that General Geary be rc-e'eefed to the governorship. With Mr. Packer in the Executive chamber, apportionment bills might be coerced which would strip the Re publicans of power, and hand over the con trol to the Democrats, though these should bo fouud at every recurring election thence forward to be in a decided minority on the popular vote. We press this point. If the Republicans of this State do not wish to find themselves shorn of power, and to have their mouths stopped from uttering reasonable com plaints, they must demonstrate at the com ing election by the re-election of Governor Geary that their array is unbroken, that tbey are the majority, and hence have the natu ral and legal right to govern. Nothing will j satisfy the requirements of the present case j but a round majority of lawful ballots. Re- j publicans ! if you fail in this, multiplied J disasters will be likely to come upon you. Having the power, see to it that you use it effectively. — Pittsburgh Gazette. EVERY' Republican will appreciate the im portance of the present campaign, in view of the fact that the election of Pershing would give the Democracy tho control of the Su preme Court of the State, and enable them again, as last year, to deluge us with fraud ulent naturalization papers. VOL.. 42: NO 37. HORACE GREELEY'S OLD DRIVER. The old story of Horace Greeley's ride over the mountains to Placerville has been much laughed over, but not generally be lieved. But at Reno we found the identi cal driver, Mr. Hank Monk byname, sport ing a watch presented by the citizens of Placerville in honor of that ride, inscribed, "Be seated, Horace, and I'll take you through in time." He drove Mr. Wade from near Virginia City to Reno. He came out from the latter place by request to do this driving as a matter of compliment. Mr. Monk is a slight, wiry man of me dium stature, with a round face, blue eyes which look deep, and with a solemn ex pression of countenance which suggests a curtain drawn there over the very abode of mischief. His gloves told of four in hand under full headway, and a loose scarf around his neck was another insignia of his office. "Mr. Monk, you drove Mr. Greeley pret ty fast," said Mr. Wade. Mr. Monk looked unutterable things, but replied quietly, "we went a pretty fair gait." "Mr. Greeley was a little frightened we are told ?" "I guess Horace was a little scared," was his reply. He then went on to tell and embeiished with much twinkling of eyes and evident in ward enjoyment, bow he started under or ders to make Placerville in time for the lec ture Mr. Greeley was to deliver; how he drew out slowly to lfct his team get in good trim, and how he slowly, very slowly, as cended the mountains; how Mr. Greeley frequently consulted his watch, and leaned out of the window to ask if it would be pos sible to reach Placerville in time. So all the way up the long mountain Mr. Greeley was continually inquiring: "Mr. Monk, don't you think that we had better drive a little faster?" and Mr. Monk was often replying, "Don't give yourself any concern, Mr. Greeley, I'll take you through in time." But no sooner was the descent begun, with a crack of the lash from the driver, and a slight setting of the break, for fear of an accident, than one class of fears abandoned Mr. Greeley's breast to make room tor an other. Mr. Monk asserts that he had hard ly got under headway before Mr. Greeley shouted, "Mr. Monk, do you think that there is any need for such hurry ?'' and then, "Mi. Monk, we seem to be getting ahead of time," and next. "Mr. Mook, I believe I J will give up the idea of lecturing to-night and last of all, "Mr. Monk, I have given up j that lecture, had'nt we better slow up a lit- | tie?" To all of which Mr. Monk made: answer: "I have my orders, Mr. Greeley, I think we will get in in time ; be seated, sir, I have my orders." And so at last Mr. Greeley got in, first to the tavern and then to his bed. But the story is old. For us it will henceforth be true, since we have laid eyes on Mr. Monk, and heard him tell the tale. \TeaLTH7 One great cause of the poverty of the present day is, the failure of the common people to appreciate small things, They feel that if they cannot save large sums they will not save anything. They do not realize how a daily addition, be it ever so small, will soon make a large pile. If the young men and young women of to-day will only begin, and begin now, to save a little from their earnings, and plant it in the soil of some good savings bank, and weekly or monthly add their mite, they will wear a happy smile of confidence and ' independence when they reach middle life. Not only the pile itself will increase, but the desire and ability to increase it will also grow. Let clerk and tradesmen, laborer and artisan, make now and at once a be ginning. Store up some of your youthful force and vigor for future contingency. Let parents teach their children to begin early to save. Begin at the fountain-head to ! control the stream of extravagance, and then work will be easy. To choose between j spending and saving is to choose between | poverty and riches. Let your youth go on in habits of extravagance, for fifty years to | come, as they have for fifty years past, and we shall be a uatluu uf beggars with a I moneyed aristocracy. I jet a generation of such as save in small sums be reared, and we shall be free from want. Do not be am bitious for extravagant fortunes, but do seek that which is the duty of every one to obtain independence and a comfortable home. Wealth and enough is within the reach of all. It is obtainable by one pro ! cess, and by only one —saving. VOTER, DON'T FORGET, That John W. Geary has proved himself a gallant soldier as well as a good Governor! That on the 23th of June, 1861, he was mustered into the service as a Colonel and successfully fought those who attempted to destroy the Union! That on the 25th of April, 1562, he was promoted Brigadier General! That on the 11th of January, 1865, he was made Major-General! That he was wounded at Bolivar, Cedar Mountain, and Cbaneellorsville! That to the present day he carries rebel lead in his body 1 That as Mayor of San Francisco! Governor of Kansas! Military Governor of Savannah ! And, finally, as Governor of Pennsylvania! He has invariably discharged the duties im posed upon him with honor to himself and credit to his native State! Who can show a better record ? We ask you, then, to work from now un til election day for the continuance in office of this faithful public servant. Let it not be said that you discarded a roan you knew to be true and faithful for one who had nothing but money to recommend him for the high office he seeks. — TunUuinnock Re publican. ______ SETTLE WHILE YOU AHE YOUNG.— Think of this, my good friend, and as you have kind affections to make some good girl happy, settle yourself in life while you are young, and lay up, by so doing, a stock of domestic happiness, agaiost age or bodily decay. There are many good things in life, whatever satirists and misanthropes may say to the contrary; but probably the best of ! all, next to a conscience void of offence (but without which, by the bye, they can hardly exist), are the quiet exercise and enjoyment | of the social feelings, in which we are at once happy in ourselves, and the cause of happiness to thoae who are dearest to us.— | Sir Waller Scott.

The question was practically solved, the other day, by a workman em ployed in an oil manufactory at Nice, who fell into a tank of olive oil nine feet deep. He was an expert swimmer, but be went to the bottom like a plummet, and was only saved from drowning by the timely aid of a comrade. Oil is too light to swim in; it is not sufficiently buoyant, and does not offer the resistance necessary to keep a man afloat. On the other hand it is worth knowing that it a bath in oil offers dangers to swimmers; there are occasions on which it may be of valuable use; for it is the best remedy for serious burns. A German ballet girl, whose dress had caught fire, and who had been horribly burned in consequence, was put in to a bath of oil by the chief physician of the Leipsic Hospital. She was suffering atro cious agonies; but the oil caused her pains to cease almost immediately. She remain ed in the bath nine days and nights, the oil being renewed five times during that jieriod; and her burns were then so far healed A- u .-fa. nnt without twin or dan ger USEFUL HINTS.—A bit of glue dissolved io skim milk will restore crape. Strong ley put in water will make it as soft as rain water. Half a cranberry, it is Baid, bound on a com, will soon kill it. Ribbons of every kind should be washed iu suds and not rinsed. Scotch snuff put in holes where crickets come out will destroy them. A bit of soap rubbed on the hinges of doors will prevent their creaking. Wood ashes and common salt wet with water will stop the crack of a stove. If your flat irons are rough, rub them with fine salt and it will make them smooth. If you wish to avoid a cold, keep your mouth shut. The same plan also keeps the teeth from getting sunburnt and people from noticing them if they are. PROP. HENRY, in the meeting of the Academy of Sciences at Hartford, speaking of the electric spark, said ho "'could judge better of the duration of the spark when seen perpendicularly than horizontally." When it appeared in print it read: '"He could better judge of the duration of the ! -quash when seen perpendicularly than hori j zontally." That is equal to Mr. Burlingame's eloquent allusion to the "granite shaft" on j Bunker Hill—but which was printed the "grog shop" on Bunker Hill. AN anecdote is told of a German student in theology, who, after waiting an un conscionable time for admission, appeared before the examiner "bearded like a pard. ' The learned examiner fell back, astonished, exclaiming, "A student in theology with a beard!" "A beard!" cried the student, with an air of equal astonishment, and putting his hand up to his face, "bless me, why it must have grown while 1 have been waiting in the ante-room !" SHOULD Asa Packer be elected, the influ ences that will surround him will be mostas trocious. Bill McMullen, the notorious row dy and outlaw of Philadelphia, is bis bosom friend, and will be one of his confidential ad visers in case of his election. Do the people of Pennsylvania desire to see the Executive of their State controlled by such influences? If they do not, let them elect John W. Geary for their Governor. A GENTLEMAN riding, came to the edge of a morass which he considered not safe. Seeing a peasant lad, he asked whether the bog was hard at bottom "O, yes, quite hard," replied the youth. The gentleman rode on, but his horse began to sink. "You rascal," shouted he, "did you not say it was hard at bottom?" "So it is," rejoined the rogue, "but you're not half way to it yet." WHEN a stranger treats me with want of proper respoot," oaid a pKilooopbio poor man, "I comfort myself with the reflection that it is not myself he slights, but my old shabby coat and hat, which, to say the truth have no particular claims to admiration. So if my hat and coat choose to fret about it, let them: it is nothing to me." AT no moment of difficulty does a hus band, knowing his own utter helplessness, draw so closely to his wife's side for comfort and assistance, as when he wants a button sewed on his shirt collar. Two Million Dollars per year is the rate at which Republicanism has been paying off the State debt of Pennsylvania. Governor Geary and the Republican party stand pledged to continue it at this rate. WHEN vice wants a license to desalote, it only has to ask the Democratic party for a passport When treason would disrupt a nation, it found in Democracy an abettor. ASA PACKER says he never read the let ter of General Rosecrans. Has he ever read the Ten Commandments or the Rev enue laws ? IF running after the women be a sin, it is one which is very easily checked. All that's necessary is for the women to stop running away tiom the men. IT will be an evil hour for Pennsylvania when Assemblyman C. L. Pershing has the opportunity to turn his votes into judicial decisions. A MAN in the rigbt, though he be alone, is in the majority, for God is on his side, and is multitudinous above all populations of the earth. NONE of the Democratic papers appear to have heard from Omaha since the elec tion. Reason —Increased Republican ma jorities. IT S estimated by intelligent parties that the Republican majority in Ohio will reach 40,000. ■ AFTER the election the Democratic Ps which they are now so anxiously praying for, will be Pity Pity Poor Packer. GREAT excitement exists in Cincinnati over the attempt of the Democracy to abol ish the Bible from the public schools. FOR Supreme Judge of Pennsylvania we want two things—a lawyer and a loyal man.
