«Before another issue of the Reror-
x resches our esteemed friends and
ons, another year will have been
ocked in the unreturnable past, and the
birth of a new year, 1883, will have
awr xd upon mankind, We have but to
wish that all of our readers may enjoy
the merriest Christmas and the happiest
of New Years. Providence has buen
pvish in its blessings upon mankind in
the past year, in all respocts—there has
been comparative peace, and universal
plenty, and the land has enjoyed almost
anparulleled freedom from epidemic dis:
ease, Truly, the people have reason to
bo thankful to the Father for his kind
ness. And if we can have a continuation
of the blessings of 18832 over 1883 it is all

Volume correspond with the openivg
and closing of the calendar year.
The present editor of the Rerorren
took charge of the same under the Old
Series (Begrenrer) in 1807, and wielded
its pen uninterruptedly fo the present
writing—a term of twenty-five years,
perhaps longer than double that of any
editor in the county or central Peunsy!-
vania, We were however, connected
with the paper as compositor, assistant
in the editorial management and as sole
aditor for thirty-six consecutive years, In
this light we can lay claim to being the
oldest editor and printer in Centre conn:
ty. Our friend, Hon. 8 T. Shugart, cap
perhaps, figure up as long a term by tak.
ing in afl his time, but even then we
doubt it, and should be pleased to have
him enlighten us upon his actual term
of service in the art preservative.
When we look back, it affords us ex-
treme pleasure and gratification that in
all this time we have held the confide:ce
and good-will of the people in our field
of labor. We tried to merit it, and flat
ter ourself that we have succeeded. We
have endeavored to be just and fairat all
times and towards sli—yet in attempt.
ing this we have some times offended in
quarters where it would have been pre-
ferable to please if duty could have been
as well conserved thereby. Harboring
animosity towards no one, we shall con-
duct the RerorTsr in the future, as re-
gards men and measures, upon the same
principles, with, perhaps greater indew
pendence as to unworthy men who seek
place from no good motive and measures
that are not conducive to the public
weal, The Rerokrer hss at no time
bean a personal organ, to pave a way
for us to offiee—we have given the dem-
_ocratic party no trouble in this regard,

With this retrospeds,. we ask the con-
tinued support of our friends; “ard Me]
miss the subject with warmest thanks
for the confidence and support they have
lent us in the past and wishing all a merry
Christmas and a happy New Year.

combat, which had much in common
with the last assault on Plevna that pre-
ceded the fall of that stronghold, upward

field. Two brothers of the Mehdi and
several of the insurgent chiefs were

rebels since the outbreak of the insurrec-

Worthy Master Leonard Rhone read
his annual address, which in many in
stances touched npoo State matters. The
importance of the common schools was
dwelt upon. He urged the necessity of
more practical education and thought it
should be extended to include agricui-
ture. The State could with great propri-
ety and economy furnish the books, as
the virtue and i. telligence of the people
waa a gre ter source of wealth and pows
er and a surer guarantee for the perpetu-
ity of the State than the most gilded gov-
ernment or powerful monopolies. He
denounced the present methods of con-
ducting the State Agricultural College
and the Biate Board of Agriculture,
Their officers and trustees should be
elected by the people, and the people, in-
stead of a chosen few, have the benefits
therefrom He protested against
: nual appropriation of $220,
000 for the Nutional Guard and said that
sum should be used or appropriated to
the cause of education. Liberal provi-
-ions in the support of the school system
were more potent factors for the repres-
sion of violence than glittering bayonets
and tinseled vanity. He favored an equal
taxation of the bonds of railroad compan-
ies for local purposes. Oil should be
taxed and help bear the burden. The
afternoon and evening sessions were de-
voted to routine business,

corrupt, contradict scripture, the former

there are three great truths, viz: the exis
tance of God, the liberty of man and the
immortaitiy of the soul—and from the last
he infers a future state, And by various
processes of reasoning, he endeavors to es.
tablish those great principles. The result
of this system is that Christ is esteemed
only because his morals resemble those

pupils, denied divine Ravelation and the

that external ture is created so far as it

This consciousness is most clearly enjoyed
in man. Man, therefore, is the Infinite in
his highest state of development, and
clearest and fullest degree of conscious
ness, because he is the greatest work or
product of the Infinite. This is Panthe
ism, not purely Ideal as was Fichte, but
Material, like Spinoza's. This system
overturns the doctrine of the personal re
sponsibility of the soul and its immortality
hereafter. It teaches that afler death the
immortal mind will return to the general
life of the universs, of the absolute again,
of which it formed a part before birth.
No Christ in this system. Hegel teaches
that ideas and conceptions are the only
real existences and that there is nothing in
the universe more substantial than cons

upon itself, upon its own ideas and repre
sentations; and that by analyzing these it
arrives at all knowledge of what is said to
be without the mind. This is absolute

5. There is also a tendency to give
Christ no room inthe heart. By the heart
is meant the whole of that moral energy
by which man is moved to act. For the
illumination of the understanding, the
sanctification of the affections and the res
newal of the will, Christ is not in any way

says thet he was driven to the deed by a
fulse reportabout himself and a young lady
of the neighborhood. He says that the re-
port gave him so much trouble that bright
angels took pity on him and. when he re
tired at night they sat on his bed and
suid, "Come up to heaven.” He directed
that his horse and carriage should be given
to his sisters, and his father should have
another young man to take his place. He
mentioned the names of the young men
who should dig his grave aud the young
Indies who shouldsing at the house, ‘safe
in the arms of Jesus” and other hymns

Holiday Goods
at
Wanamaker’s.
One quarter in the store is
peculiarly a Holiday quarter,
agift ager; a place where
just a little use is made the
vehicle for a great deal of
luxury. It is full now; full
of wonders; full of pretty
things; full of silly things;
full of surprises; full of what
nobody expects; full of what
everybody expects; full, asit
has been full near Christmas
time before.
Beginning at the very cen-
tre of the store, next north
are two counters, one of
them very large, and one
half as large, filled to over-
flowing with perfumeries and
other toilet articles and
implements. We positively
must not begin to mention
names, nor even classes.
The only way to get away
from these miraculous things
is to break away.
Next northwest is a col-
lection of small things that
people used to luxury will
recognize under the name
small leatherarticles. About
the biggest thing there is a
ortfolio or writing-case,
Porkttonks are the com-
monest. But such pocket-
books! Oh, yes you can
get good substantial pocket-
books there, with not a cent
of :xtravagance in them;
but naturally we are thinking
of the brighter ones. Leather
isn't fine enough. They must
enamel it, paint it, deck it
out with silk and shining sil-
ver and gold Every year
beople get worse and worse.
Ey year they must have
stranger and stranger things,
Silk, plush, velvet and fur
bags are there, with all their
pretty and handy and cun-
ning fastenings. But we
must hurry on.
Next northwest are writ-
ing-papers, Here's room
for a treatise. We're not
going tostop. But anybody
who passes that white-look-
ing island of trade in the sea
of people, without finding
out what Wanamaker Dest
means, in or out of Holiday
time, is a loser. What a
glory has a page of pure
»aper !
Photograph albums am
next on northwest; and here
the circle widens, Is all
that long row photograph
albums? Is it possible that
so many people didn’t buy
albums last year, when we
brought over a ship-load
almost? There's a new set
of people this year, may be.
At least the photographers
haven't gone out of business,
At this end are velvet
frames; yonder are boxes
of leather and plush. You
can pay $60 for a box that a
touch will spoil. Don’t sup-
pose that the things put out
to show, even under glass,
are the fine ones. Whisper
to the saleswoman that your
pocket is full of money, and
that you are aching to get
rid of it. )
Brass and bronze!
Oh,
see the mob of brasses and
bronzes. Open your dic-
tionary. The first word you
come to has its image there.
Preposterous things! Have
your wits about you. An
artist has studied out every
one. The artistis a wagtoo;
for jokes abound; little
touches of humor and broad
farces, So there is pathos;
and beauty everywhere, But
shall we presume to dis-
course of ten thousand things
in a shop, each of which was
born of Art?
North from centre, all the way to
cure’
