"tlicro Is 5fo Love Like tuc Old Love. neiScctfnUy Dedicated to IPm. Ellcr, Profe&or of Music, JS'eury, Pa. BY J. G. L.OXDEN. There is no love like the old love, That has stood the test of years: Brightened now and then by pleasure Clouded now and theu with tears; From the virgin snows of winter Back to autumn's swift decay, It remains still pure and holy Through many a cloudy day. There is no love like the old love. So pule so kind so true That has folded up our sorrows Like the flowers fold up the dew ; It has beams when life Bcems darkest And the wares of trouble roll, That shine like stars of evening Through the icinthncs of the soul. There is no love like the old love, That in our childhood grew And blossom'd like the wild flowers J ust kissed by drops of dew ; Vet summer brings the wild rose That autumn bears away, But the leaves that fold our old low God shields from all decay. There is no love like the old love, Beside the blazing hearth That held i father's sympathy Or a mother's love on earth ; Where she clasped ua to her bosom, Musing o'er the years to come "Would they bring us joy or sorrow ? "Would we always have a homo? There is no love like the old love. That was ours in years gone by, Before our footsteps wandered From beneath our native sky Before we knew the meaning Of its sweet, enchanting flowers, But wandered in life's desert. Reaping weeds instead of flowers. There is no love like the old love: It God help us to reclaim ; The gift of such a tf etfsurb Lies not only in its name, But ia every hour of lifetime, And the darkest hours of ill; There is no love like the old love. And its roico we cannot still. Sales, Sluices, nttbitts,tft. SPECTRE WITNESSES. Much as the disembodied fpirits of the dead Lave associated themselves with men's actiuns, it ia a rarity to find the intercourse between the world of life and that of spirits forrmnp; an item in oili cial and practical business, and holding a place in the record of its transactions. The conflict of intellects in the practical business of life is a great exorciser of evil spirits ; and while the strong-minded, the educated, and the learned, in the solitude of cloisters, in old graveyards, in caverns, or on "blasted heaths," have every now and then professed to be visited by appa ritions, twelve of tho most superstitious men in the world, empannelled as a jury, would hardly bo found to attest a ghost story by a verdict returned in open court. Defoe, it is true, prtenta to Gs the history of a murderer who, in .iving false evi dence against an innocent man, is con fronted by the ghost of the victim, with which he carries on a dialogue iu open court, ultimately fatal to his conspiracy. But the ingetiioug writer leaves it unde termmed whether the spectre was sup posed to be present," or the diseased imag ination of tho perjured murderer, working "upon his organs of 6ight, had called up the impression,- and made the suggestions of Lis evil conscience, like thoso of Slac beth, appear to be embodied before his eyea. And here, by the way, let us just note bow preposterously tho 6tage, in rep reseating thid awful instance of the force of conscience, outwits itself in the belief that it is gratifying the tasles of the mul titude. The truo impressiveness of the guilty man's terror consists in hia seeing what the onlookers see not. The table is full," to him only not to tho wondcr ing guests, or to his own iron-nerved wife. Yef, at this moment, in the usual peiform ance of the piece, some big stout man, dressed in tartans, with his throat painted to' represent its being cut, stalks in and Beats himself right in front of the audi euce, who should sea the ghost of lianquo only in the horror that distorts the coun tenance of Macbeth. To return to our immediate subject. Sir Walter Scott having discovered, in the criminal records of Scotland, a trial for murder, in which some information received from the ghost of the murdered man was a part of the evidence, thought the record of sufficient interest to be print ed for tho liannatyne Club, with the title, 'Trial of Duncan Terig aftut Clerk and Alexander Bayne Macdonald for the mur der of Arthur Davis, sargeant in Gen. Guise's regiment of foot, June, 1734." The sergeant was commander of a small party,- employed in the obnoxious duty of enforcing the act against the Highlanders" carrying arms and wearing their native dosturile. Ha was"Bt'ationed' at Braemer, where the quantity of game on the sur rounding hills tempted hira to make soli tary sporting excursions. The spot where he met his death was on the hill of Christie, one of the range of mountains which extends from the Dee in Aberdeen shire towards the Fpital of Gienshee, in tho Braes of Angus. It is at this day a savage and solitary district, wher8 human habitation or cultivated lands are hardly to be met with, and a body might lie in the deep heather till the flesh fell from the bones ere tho usual course of chance might bring a visitor to the ppot. We PA., SATURDAY, may have some idea of the character from the testimony of his widow, lie stem to have been a fearless, frank, good natured man, fond of field sports, and very well-to-do in the world. The wealth he carried about hisi parson would hot now bo often found wiih one of h:3 standing ; but from Fielding's novels, and other sources, it is pretty clear that a ser geant in the English' army occupied a much higher social position in that ago than in the present. The body had lain for nearly a year before it was discovered. Of the state in which it was found, and the alleged ap pearance of the sergeant's ghost to the wit ness, - Alexander Macphersou alias Mac gillas; tho following is an account in that person's own word.cj us hia tvider.ee was taken down in court. "In the summer of i750, ho found, lying in a moss-bank in the hill of Christie, a human body al least the bones of a hu man body, of which the flesh was mostly consutiled, and he believed it to be the bbJy of Sergeant Davies, because it. was repotted in the country that he had beeii murdered in that Li l the year before. When he first found this body there was a bit cf blue cloth upon it, pretty entire, which he took to be what is called Eng lish cloth ; he also found the hair of the deceased, which was of a dark mouse coicr, and tied about with a black ribbon ; he also observed some pieces of a striped stuff", and found also lying there a pair of brogans, which had been made with latches for buckles, which had been cut away by a knifa. By the help of his stall', he brought out the body, and laid It upon plain grbnd ; in doing whereof; some of the bones were separated one from another. For some days he was in doubt what to do, but meetirjg with John Growar in the moss, he told John what he had found, and John bade him tell nothing of it, otherwise he would com plain of the deponent to John Shaw of Daldownie ; upon which the deponent resolved to prevent Crowar's complaint and go and tell Daldownia of it himself; and which having accordingly done, Dal downie desired him to conceal the matter, and go and bury the body privately, as it would not be carried to a kirk unkempt, nnd ihat the Fame might hurt the country, being under suspicion of being a rebel country. Some few days thereafter he acquainted Donald Furquharsan of his having seen tho body of a dead man in the hill which he took to be the body of Sergeant Davies. FarquharEon at first doubted tho truth of his information, till the deponent told him that, a few nights before, when he was in bed, a vision ap peared to him as of a man clad in blue, who told the deponent, "I am Sergeant Davies ;" but before he told him so, the deponent had taken the said visoin, at first appearance, to be a real living man, a brother of Donald Farquharson's. The deponent rose from his Led and fol lowed him to the door, and then it was. as has been told, that ho said he was Sergeant Davies; wh'ofchad been murdered in the hill of Christie hear a year before, and desired the deponent to go to the place he had pointed out, where he would find his bones, and that he might go to Donald Faiquharson and take his assist ance to the burying of him. Upon giv ing Donald Faiquharson this information, Donald went along with him aDd 'found the bones as he had informed Donald, and then buried them with the help of a spade, which ho (the deponent) had along with him ; and for putting what is above deponed on out of doubt, depones that tho above vision was the occasion of his going by himself to see the dead body, and which be did before he either spoke to John Gowar, Daldownie, or any other body. While he was in bed' another night, after he had first seen the body by himself, but had not buried it, the vision again appeared naked,' and reminded him to bury the body ; and after that he spoke to the other folks above mentioned, and at last complied, and buried the bones aixtve-menlioned. Upon the vision's fust appearance to the deponent in' hiB bed, and after going out of the door, and be ing told by it he was Sergeant Davies, the deponent asked him who it was that had murdered him, to which he made this answer, that if the deponent had not asked ho might have told him, but as he had a eked him, he said be cither could not, or would not ; but which of the two expressions depunent can not eay. But at the second time the vision made its ap pearance to him, the deponent renewed the Bame question ; and then the vision' answered that it was the two men now in the panel (at the bar) that had mur dered him." And being further interroga ted in what manner the vision disappeared frorn him first and last, depones that, after the short interviews above-mentioned, the vision at both times disappeared and van ished out of his sight in tbd twinkling of ah eye ; and that,- id describing the panels by the vision before-mentioned as his murderers,- his words were, "Duncan Clark and' Alexander MacDoaald,'' depones that the conversation betwixt the deponent and the vision was in Vie Irish language." The idea of an English sergeant, even in the exalted form cf a spirit, being able to speak Gaelic, startled trie judge and jury, although, as Sir Walter Scott remarks, there is no greater stretch of imagination in supposing a ghost to speak a language which the living person did not under stand, than in supposing it to speak at all. Tho other evidence against tho pris JUNE 3, 1871. oners was very stronsr : but tUU oome? dence as to Macpherson's deposition seems to have thrown a discredit over the whole cage, and a verdict of acquittal was the consequence. A German would now sug gest that phenomena of this kind was not wholly objective or external to the be holder, but partly subjective, and taking a character from himself, so that the Eng lish sergeant might really appear to the seer to speak "as good Gaelic as ever was heard at Lochaber." But such con siderations were not likely to occur to a Scotch criminal court in the middle of the eighteenth century. A book; privately printed under the title of "Notices relative to the Banuatyne Club," as appropriate to Sir Walter Scott's volume, gives an account of a case in Queen Anne's county, Maryland, where the appearance of a spectre was attested in an action as to a will. "William Briggs said that Thoa. Harris died in September, 1790. In the March following he was riding near the place where Thomas Harris was. buried, on a horse fornerly belonging to Tho. Harris. After crossing a small brook, his horro began to walk on very fast ; it was bo tvveen tho hours of eight arid nine o'clock in the morning , he was alone ; it was a e'ear day ; he entered a lane adjoining to the field where Thos. Harris was buried ; his horse suddenly wheeled in a panel of the fenco, looked over the fence into the field where Thomas Harris was buried, towards the graveyard, and neighed very loud. Wifncss then saw Thomas Harris coming towards him in the same apparel as he had last seen him in his lifetime ; he had on a sky-.blue coat. Just before he came to the fence, he varied to the right, and vanished. Ilia horse took the road." ioih Hillings en Whistling. I hav spent a great deal of timo search ing, and sum money, tew find out who was the first whissler, but up to now 1 am just as much uncivilized on tho subject as I was. I kan tell who played on the first juico harp, and who beat the fust tin pan, and I know the year tho harp of a thousand strings was discovered in, but when whisslin was an infant, is as hard for me to say as my prayers in low dutch. Whissling is a wind instrument, and is had by puckering up the mouth, and blowing through the hole. Thar aint no tune on the wholo earth but than kan be played on this instrument, and that celebrated old tune, Yankeedoo dle, has been almost whissled to death. Grate thinkers are not apt to be good whisslers, in fakt, when a man can't think of nothing he begins to whissle. We seldom see a raskal who is a good whissler. Tharo is a grate deal ov honor bright in a sharp, puckered whissle. Good whisslers are skarce, 75 years ago they were plenty, but the desire to get rich, of to hold olHs, has took the pucker out of honest and cheerful amuse ment. If i had a boy that couldn't whissel1, I dont want to be understood that i should be at liberty to give the boy up for lost, but i would much rather lie would know how to whissle fust rate than to play a second rate game of cards. 1 wouldn't force a boy of mine to whis sle against his natural inclinashuns. Winimen, as kind, or in lump, aro poor whisslers. I don't know how i found this out, but i am glad ov it, it is a good deal like krowing in a hen. I hav often herd hens tri to crow, i never new one to do herself justice. A rooster can krow well, and a hen cluck well, and i say let each of them Btick to their trade. Klucking is just as necessary in this world as crowing, especially if it is well done. But i want it well understood that i am the last man on rekord who would refuse a woman a chance to whissel if she is certain she has the right pucker for it. Sum people always whissle whare thars danger they do this to keep the fraid out of tberal When i was a boy i al ways Considered whissling the next brat thing tu a candle to go down a cellar with me at nite time. I don't want any better evidence of the general honesty thare is in a whissle than the fakt that thar aint nothing that a dog will answer quicker than the whis sel ov his master, and dogs" are as" good judges of honesty as enny critters that live. It is hard work to pbool a dog once, and next to impossible to phool him' the second time. I ain't afraid to trust any man for a Small amount who is a good whissler. I' wouldn't warii to sell him a farm on kredit, fori should expect to have to take the farm back after awhile and remove the mortgage myself. You can't whistle a mortgage oph from a farm." A" fust rate Whissler is like a middling sized fiddler, good for nothing else, and the whissling may keep a man from get ting lonesome;' it wont keep him from getting ragged. I never knu a bee hunter but what was a good whissler, and I don't know of any bissinees" on tho breast of the earth that will make a man so lazy and useless, without aktually killing him, as Luntio bees in tho wilderness.

IlesoheJ, That the Democratic party is in favor ot revising and amendiug tho Con stitution of the State, and, recogciziog the right cf the poop.e to be fully heard on a subject 0 vital to their intercuts, they do hereby en:l.,rse the course of Denncratic members of the Legit-iature, In favor of ub milting at the next general election the ques tion whether or not a fe'tato conveatiou should bo called for that purpote. 2. Ilewhcd, That the persistent refusal of the Republican party ia tha Legislature to conseut to a proper modification cf those provisions of tho registry net relating to the city of Philadelphia by which at Itatt one half of the electors cf that city aro utterly deprived of representation in the ek-ctiou boards, and fraudulent election returns, for gery and murder encouraged, must be con demned by every jubt mau and ought to be rebuked by tho ballot of every upright citi zen. 3.

Resolved, That the forte and bayonet bills recently enacted by Congress pre grost? attacks upon the reserved rights of the States, destructive of the elemental principles of civil liberty, intolerable to a free people, centralizing in tendency, and should be forth with repealed. 5. Resolved, That the language of Senator Cail Shurz. in his St. Louis bpeech, wherein he eays : T consider it one of the most press ing needs of our day that we should return to the sound practice of constitutional gov ernment. The safeguards of our common rights and liberties contained in tLe Consti tution are toe sacred and valuable a boon to be permanently jeopardized in providing for a passing emergency. It is time that the American people open their eyes to the dan gerous character of this tendency, and that neither a great name nor an object appealing to our sympathies should be permitted to disguise it. As for me, I have seen the working of irresponsible power and person al government in other countries, and I may assure ciy constituents that while I atn & citizen of this republic I shall struggle to the last gasp against its introduction," was but the utterance of a well known and frerjuent ly announced Democratic doctrine. 6. Resolved, That tho public debt is bind ing upon the nation, aud must be paid ; and that we are unalterably opposed to any and all movements looking towards repudiation direct or indirect, but in justice to the labors ing and producing classes the rate of interest, thereon should be reduced at the earliest practicable date. 7.

Resolved, That labor and capital have no juBt cause of antagonism, that we depre cate strife between thess two great forces and earnestly seek to place the laborer and the capitalist ou such a platform as will en able both to audcably adjust the:r differ ences, and we are unaltsrably opposed to I o importation of a servile race for the purpose of degiading the standard acd lowering the positiou cf tha laboring men of the nation. 9. Resolved, That we recognize the bind ing obligation of all the provisions of the Constitution of the United States as they now exist, and we depie:ate the discission of issues which have been settled in the man ner aud by the authority constitutionally eppoiuted. 10. Resolved, That we are for a govern ment rigorously frugal and simple, applying all the possible savings of the public revenue to the discharge of the national debt aud op posed to a multiplication of ifGcers and salaries, merely to make place for partisans and for the increasing by eTery device the public debt. 11. Resolved, That the continuance by a Republican Congres of the in:ome tax, when the tame is at least of doubtful cou&ti tutionality, and the necessity therefor has long since ceased to exist, is an exercise of a power oppressive t-j the people, aud a gross violation of their rights and interests. 12.

Agreed to. , The nominees were then brought into the Convention and introduced amid great en thusiasm. Capt. Cooper, the nominee for Surveyor General, said that he had always recognized the orders if his superior officer, and ag General McCandless had aked him to speak fiist he wuuld do the beet he cru'.d. lie wag' no speech maker, and, therefore, would con tent himself with the grateful duty of return ing his sincere thanks to the convention for the honor conferred upon him, nnd he was now ready to go to wort and achieve a vic tory at tho polls, which he had no doubt would be the result in October next. Geoeral McCandless said he j .j'ned hia comrade, Captain Cooper, with all his heart, in returning his sincere and heartfelt thanks' for the honor tie convection had conferred upon them both, by making them the stand ard bearers of the great" Democratic party in this commonwealth during the campaign just inaugurated a contest for the saprema-, cy of the great party to which he was proud to belong. It is true that Capt. Cooper and himself had gone through campaigns on' quite another field of warfare. wh.r3 they had poured out lheir blood, like water in' defrcce cf the supremacy of the laws and constitution of their common country, but' even in thote trying times those -campaigns were not as important, or so vital to the. liberties of the people as the contest now opened before thera, when by Federal en croachments, through a profligate. Congress they were threatening the very citadel of our liberties. He said : I see before me the representa-!-tivesof at least a quarter cf a million of freemen of this State. I see Ins fore me an' army cf white freemen who are advancing to' grapple with those living ijaues that, liW principles, are eternal. It is but a week ago since T stood in.theae' halls and beard the annunciation from the lips cf my opponent, Dr. Stanton, of a charge which was a slander upon tie pure and patriotic mtn who had perilled every-.-thing to defend their country iu her hour of. neeiK But such statements need; no other refutation than the fact that both bis col-' league, Capt. Cooper, and himself were here- against whose character no tongue of slan der dare wag, for their record is spotless in' all the relations of citizens or soldiers., Ka commended the action of Gov. Geary iis bw' rebriko to the administration and to the Radical party, when he (the General) tool: ground against the Federal interference of the General Government in tae elections cf the peaceful citizens of Philadelphia last fall, and said that these usurpations Lad be come so glaring that even a Governor of the great State of Pennsylvania had to adminis ter a rebuke to them ia the hope of siayisg the tendency of that party to centializution of power and the establishment of a military de?2tism in this country. After again' thanking the Convention for the high honor" conferred upon him. be retired arnid the p-' piauee of the memb(-rs of the Convection,; who were vociferons in their demonstration' of approbation of the General's remarks.

An exchange saya: "The worst joke that was ever pe " pet rated on Fc'entitic mo took place recen tly at Louisiana, Mo. A man as s:ck with rheumatism, or something," and a fellow went around to the doctors and professors and th'tDgs, and told tbem that it was the' queerest case on record. He sa!d tho man had no feeling. Yon could 6tick pins . in his body all over, and he paid no attentu n' to them at all. He was perfectly numb.. Sj the docters got together and called on tha' sick man to experiment. All arrived with pins and needles and bdkius. The man, was asleep and they got around him. and. each one stuck his piu in the patient. The sick man rolled over ad looked at the crowd, aud thought they had come to dis-' sect him, so he took a chair iu one band and a bed-po$tin the other, and drove the. crowd thence. They are aronud with their heads tied up, lookingl for the roan who said that that sick man had no feeling." Fiiozkn potatoes can be cured by soaking m water three days before cooking. I i
