Life is but a troubled stream,
Flowing on as in a dream—
Wider, deeper growing,—
Bearing freight for good or ill,
Llast'ning on sonic gulf to fill,
Into the grave flowing.
Down the stream our barks are borne,
Like some water-lily torn
From its quiet mooring;
Now we, at a fearful rate,
Glide on helpless to our fate,
Dire suspense enduring.
Past a whirlpool now we glide;
Breakers now on either side
Threaten to destroy us.
Far away, a brilliant light
Shines across the murky night,
Seeking to decoy us.
There, along the treach'rous tide,
Shipwrecks loom up far and wide,
At the shrine of pleasure
Stranded ; harks there Strayed away,
And, within the rocky bay,
Cast away their treasure.
Eail we on: Our crag, though weak,
Caine thus far without a leak;
Storms and waves' commotion
Hastened, rather than delayed
The voyage, and we've almost made
_Eternity's dark ocean.

Sweeps us oust and—WO abide
Not on earth or ocean—

Till we, at our latest gasp,
Yield to Death's dire potion I

TREATMENT OF THE DROWNED.
1. Send with all speed for medical aid, for
articles of clothing, blankets, &c.
2. Treat the patient on the spot, in the
open air, exposing the face and chest freely
to the breeze, except in too cold weather.
3. Place the patient gently on the face (to
allow any fluids to flow from the mouth.)
4. Then raise the patient into a sitting pos
ture, and endeavor to excite respiration.
1. By snuff, hartshorn, &c., applied to the
nostrils,
2. By irritating the throat by a feather or
the finger.
3. By dashing hot and cold water alternate
ly on the face and chest. If there be no suc
cess, lose no time, but
4. Replace the patient on his face, his
arms under his head, that the tongue may
fall forward, and leave the entrance into the
windpipe free, and that any fluids may flow
out of the mouth ; then
1. Turn the body gradually but complete
ly on the side, a little more, and then again
on the face, alternately, (to induce inspira
tion and respiration.)
2. When replaced, apply pressure along
the back and ribs, and then remove it (to in
duce further respiration . and inspiration,)and
proceed as before.
3. Let these measures be repeated gently,
deliberately, but efficiently and perseveringly
sixteen times a minute only. Continuing
these measures, rub all the limbs and the
trunk upwards, with warm hands, making
pressure energetically. Replace the wet
clothes by such other covering, &c., as can
be procured:
Motherless ! There is a wail in the very
sad, slow word. What an infinite, mournful
meaning it has—a meaning to be felt, but far,
far too profound for the poor compass of words.
Oue by one friends drop away from our
sides and we feel all the different degrees of
desolation and bereavement. But though
with pale lips we may have echoed the word
" lonely" many a time and oft, as the sods
fell upon the still bosoms and folded hands of
our best beloved, and life, robbed of its love
treasures, may have seemed almost too worth
less for its daily exertions, we never, never
can know the full meaning of that sad word,
nor feel the uttermost reach of the heart's be
reavement, till the grave has covered from
our sight the form and face and eyes we first
looked upon with conscious affection. When
we aro motherless we are alone, for no other
friend can fill the void-a mother's loss creates
—no other love can supply the place of that
which has gone from us here forever.
The saddest grief-notes in the diapason of
sorrow have been wrung from human hearts
by a mother's loss. Manhood and woman
hood mingle their voices in the cry, and lit
tle children and youth of all ages re-echo it.
Even the wail of the infant, as yet unconscious
of a loss that never can be supplied, has a
prophetic sadness in its tones that is like no
other sound of human grief.
DOMESTIC FAULTS.
A writer thus speaks of the fatal influence
of small faults on the peace of the household :
" Homes are more oiler_ darkened by the con
tinual recurrence of small faults, than by the
actural presence of any decided vice. These
evils are apparently of very dissimilar mag
nitude; yet it is easier to grapple with one
than the other. The eastern traveller can
combine his forces, and hunt down the - tiger
that prowls upon his path ; but it is scarcely
possible for him to escape the mosquitoes that
infest the air he breathes, or the fleas that
swarm in the sand he treads. The drunkard
has been known to denounce his darling vice,
the slave to dress and extravagance her be
setting sin ; but the waspish temper, the irri
tating tone, rude dogmatical manner, and
the hundred nameless negligences that spoil
the beauty of association, have rarely done
other than proceed till the action of disgust
and gradual alienation has turned the all cut ,
rents of affection from their course, leaving
nothing but a barren track, over which the
mere skeleton of the companionship stalks
alone."
LIFE
11.7 M. LOUIS GOLDSMITLI
MOTHERLESS.
Young persons should be taught, above all
things 'else, the inestimable value of time.—
By system and economy in the employment
of this most precious boon, one may become
learned rich and famous, with small natural
advantages and ordinary abilities, while the
possessor of the most enviable gifts of genius
and fortune, without a proper appreciation
of the value of time, may squander his life
and his hopes, without accomplishing any
thing. This is trite, but it can scarcely be
too often repeated for the benefit of young
persons.
Very many young men have ambition and
natural ability, while they are more or less
destitute of means and advantages. Such
persons desire a good education, which they
know to be the foundation of success in life.
Some are disposed to think that because they
have not the means to acquire knowledge in
the usual way, through schools and colleges,
they are precluded from the attainment of
their desires. This is a most mistaken idea.
Any young man, in this enlightened age
and country, can acquire a first-class educa
tion, if he but wills it. There is no royal or
even aristocratic road to learning, and the
treasures of knowledge are now open to all.
To gain them it is only necessary that each
should make the best possible use of his time
and opportunities. Schools even are not ne
cessary at the present time for a determined
and industrious student, for books will sup
ply their place. There is little that is re
quired for a thorough education that may be
learned from books alone, with studious ap
plication.
There are advantages to be derived from
oral teaching, and from the associations of
the school and the college, that are not fur
nished to the solitary self-instructor. A
knowledge of the ways of the world and of
human nature is acquired by associating with
fellow students and teachers. One learns to
display and to apply his knowledge in the
practical affairs of life. He acquires more
readiness and more confidence, qualities
which are valuable to a man of action rath
er than thought.
On the other hand there are advantages in
a judicious system of self-culture, which are
not furnished to so great a degree by the
school or college. The solitary student learns
self-reliance in the matter of education, and
is apt to acquire judgment in the selection of
books and in the manner of employing his
time. He learns to think and act indepen
dently, having no one to do it fur him. The
self student will almost invariably be the
better thinker. His method of education will
call forth every deep fadiflty of his mind.—
He will be more profound, although general
ly less demonstrative than the person whose
advantages of fortune have allowed him to
be educated in t ie ordinary way.
The poor student need never despair of ac
complishing by self-culture as much and more
than those will acquire who have the benefits
of the most expensive education. The system
of self-culture teaches habits that are never
acquired in schools and colleges, and those
are habits which are most conducive to im
portant and brilliant success in life. The
very system upon which the poor scholar
goes, is one which no instructors can teach,
for it must be self-acquired, while it is essen
tial to one who would accomplish anything
great.
Thus it is that a majority of those who
have acquired distinction are self taught.—
Thinking habits are most essential to distin
guished success, and these are invariably ac
guired by self-culture. The solitary student
is generally not well fitted by his education
to shine in society and he is frequently diffi
dent, and perhaps awkward. But these
drawbacks will soon be overcome after en
tering upon the active duties of life, and the
knowledge he has gained will fit him for tak
ing a first position in the world.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in a recent
discourse, thus draws a picture of that large
class of men who delight in tempting to ruin
the innocent and unsuspecting :
" It is not the Indian alone who loves to
carry the scalps he has taken in battle ; there
are thousands of beings, male and female, who
love to carry in sight the number of victims
they have seduced or corrupted, to count them
over and boast of their crime. There are men
who love to corrupt the young, who love to
teach them fallacious vices, and seduce them
into evil compliances, to put the leaven of per
dition into their souls, and wait till it begins
to leaven the whole lump. They seem to
have a horrible gloat of pleasure in doing this.
They resist all efforts of their victim to break
away ; and if he does get away they pull him
down again—and God lets such men live !
Did you ever see a spider spinnig his web in
the corner! With what delicacy of his loom
does he spin all his web ! how does it shine in
the sun ! and who has spun it all right; and
after spinning it he makes himself a little
hole, in which he goes back and lies in wait
for a singing fly that has surveyed and phil
osophized on the Universe. lle looks upon
the web, and the moment he touches it how
the spider rushes out to seize him ! and if he
be asmall insect, and a rarge spider, he will
bite him and roll him up in the web ; or if
he be a large fly, he commences rolling up
and preparing by and by to eat him ; and if,
for a moment the poor little fly turns to es
cape, how he rushes out and instantly seizes
him again, and rolls him up and up, over and
over, more closely than ever, and then drags
him down to some corner !
I have seen men treat men just so. They
spin just such webs and then sit in some dark
corner till they wind their coils around him
till he is hopelessly entangled in the web ;
leading him in their infernal work, and roll
ing him over and over again in its meshes :
and if the poor victim begins to sing and
buzz in his efforts to break away, how I have
seen them rush out again and carry them
back and utterly ruin them ii. their house of
infamy !
le' A great talker will go on, though no
body minds him ; and he heeds nobody when
spoken to
HUNTINGDON, PA., NOVEMBER 14, 1860.
SELF CULTURE.
EARTH'S DEVILS.
-PERSEVERE.-
(Says a Newark paper,) are invited to read
this little way-side story, which is but one of
thousands like it that margin the highway of
life all along to its close. On Friday last, as
is our every-day habit, we dropped in at the
station-house to see what items might be gath
ered from the criminal docket of the obliging
tell-tale slate of the attentive Chief, and hav
ing gathered all that was of interest to us,
was about passing out when we met in the
door-way one of the most loathsome- human
beings it has ever been our lot to encounter.
We stepped aside, quite willing to give the
ragmuffied man—for he had been a man once
—the largest privilege in passing, and was
astonished indeed when catching a glance at
ushe advanced, presented his hand and called
us by name. Of course we took his trem
bling hand, though at first we could discover
nothing in his haggard features that at all
reminded us of any former acquaintance, but
when he mentioned his name and the name
of the paper on which we learned the first
beginnings of the " Art preservative of all
arts," the veritable " Bill Philips," an old
fellow apprentice stood before us. We had
toiled side by side as embryo compositors in
a newspaper office (the ',yearning Gazette)
bearing the name of the county in which it
was located in the northern part of Pennsyl
vania, and we had known him then as an un
commonly bright boy, a natural wit, a pet
among his fellows, and withal the quickest
and most correct compositor in the office.—
Leaving the office and business ourselves on
account of ill health before we had half com
pleted our profession, we heard little of Bill
except that for some trivial cause he bad run
away from his employer, who was likewise his
benefactor, and but once heard of him, as lead
ing a rather dissipated life in the city of
Philadelphia. I sat down by the side of Bill
on one of the station-house benches and lis
tened as he recounted his adventures from
the unlucky day on which he threw his
" wardrobe" over his shoulder and turned
his back upon one of the kindest of employ
ers, down to the time of our accidenial meet
ing in the station-house door, where be had
come to procure lodging for the night. It
was the old story, the result had followed his
first step in wrong-doing, and here he was after
twenty years of wandering, a poor, miserable,
friendless, dissipated creature, whom to de
prive of his glass was to remove the only prop
which now alone served to sustain life. We
took the poor fellow to better quarters, and
turning homewards began thoughtfully to
contrast the career of the fellow-apprentice
we had just left with that of others, who in
the same office served out their full appren
ticeship, and afterwards filled some of the
highest positions in their native States.—
There was Hon. E. Lewis, until lately, Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia, who not only served his apprenticeship
there, but afterwards owned and edited the
Gazette, leaving it only to fill still higher and
more responsible positions ; then there was
another, a round-faced, smart boy, with noth
ing like the mother wit that Bill Philips pos
sessed, hut he was steady in his habits, served
his employer faithfully, and to-day William
F. Packer, the able and honored Governor of
Pennsylvania, now recurs to that as the pe
riod when he was, by honestly and steadily
serving out his time, laying the foundation
for that success in life which has since so
abundantly crowned his efforts. Look at it,
boys ! There are but two methods of accom
plishing the journey of life among the close
growing years that intervene between the be
crinnino, and the end—the one leads you
through a career of honor and usefulness,
the other terminates where poor Bill Philips
will soon lay his weary bones—in Potter's
Field.-11'ewar7c Mercury.
THE SHADOWS WE CAST.
Father, husband, wife, sister, brother, son,
neighbor—are we not all casting shadows
daily on some hearts that are pining for the
sunlight of our faces ? In all their infinitely
varied relations, men and women, selfishly
or thoughtlessly—from design, weakness or
ignorance—are casting their shadows upon
hearts that are pining for sunlight. A word,
look, a tone, an act, will cast a shadow, and
sadden a spirit for hours and days. Speak
kindly, act kindly, be forgeters of self, and
regarders of others, and you will cast but
few shadows along the path of life. The
true gentleman is always tender of the feel
nings of others—always watchful lest he
wound unintentionally always thinking,
when with others, of their pleasure instead
of his own. lie casts but few shadows. Be
gentlemen—ladies, or—in a word that in
)ud es all graces and exeolleucies—be Chris
tians—for it is the Christian who casts fewest
shadows of all.
HorE FOR POOR BUM-Our country pre
sents peculiar advantages to all for the attain
ment to influence and distinction but an eter
nal condition is imposed upon those who wish
to avail themselves of the opportunities so
profusely offered. It is a law, too, which de
mands the most faithful observance, or its vi
olation will shatter all the dreams and high
anticipation of youth. In examining the his
tory of our great men, we find that severe la
bor was necessary to their success. It is an
element which characterizes the Anglo-Saxon
race, and to which that hardy people, amid ob
stacles of untold magnitude owe entirely their
superiority.
gar Some women are excessively fond of
of teasing those whom they love. It is gen
erally the very impassioned in temperament,
or the very cold who do so. The latter, where
love is comparatively languid may do it al
most constantly ; the former just in the inter
vals where the pulse of love rather intermits ;
and in this case it seems only to be a part or
form of the general craving for excitement of
some kind or other.
SeY'' Silent virtues in solitude are worth all

HOW THEY FALL.
It is seldom that a young man sets out in
life with the determination of living vicious
ly. His intentions are correct enough, but
he is weak. He mingles with men older than
himself, with whom it is gratifying to his
vanity to associate. He finds among them
habits of thought, expression, and action,
which in his very soul he loathes ; but he is
weak—how can he resist the evil ? Nay,
how can he avoid taking part in it, unless he
wishes to make himself appear singular, and
becomes the subject of his companions' ridi
cule? By degrees the unfeeling or obscene
conversation of his companions becomes less
disgusting and more palatable, till at length,
words that at first would have made his cheek
tingle with shame or stung his conscience
With remorse, become the woof of his conver
sation. The licentious thought, the coarse
expression, the blasphemous oath, is welcomed
with a smile, and he is ready to sneer at
others, whose moral nature is still too sensi
tive to allow them to do the same. From be
ing an unwilling hearer ho soon becomes a
willing partaker, and the advance is rapid to
glorifying in it, and himself becoming the
tempter to others, to lead them in the same
path he has himself trodden. It is by this
weakness—this moral cowardice—that we
are led into sin, despite the promptings of our
better nature. Itmay be that in our hearts
we despise the man by whom we are led, but
we come at last to applaud their sentiments
and adopt their tone.
• 4
How true it is that persevering effort will
invariably command success. The man who
knows no such word as " fair' will as surely
conquer in the battle of life as the sun rises
and sets. If you are dissappointed to-day,
don't lay awake on account of it, go to bed
and sleep, that you may be better prepared
for the renewed effort which you propose to
make in the morning. Though the labor,
the care and the anxiety of years may come
to nought in an hour, no matter, let all go,
summon your smiles and energies and go to
work again. Success, honor, emolument,
must come at last I Edward Livingston, it
is said, having finished his great Code of Lou
isianian Law, beheld the labor of three per
severing years perish in an instant in the
flames ; Thomas Carlyle, when he had fin
ished the first volume of his French Revolu
tion, had every scrap of it burned, through
the carelessness of a friend ; Mr. Audubon,
having wandered and toiled for years to get
accurate representations of American birds
found that two Norway rats had, in a single
night destroyed two hundred of his original
drawings, containing the forms of more than
a thousand inhabitants of the air. All were
gone except a few bits of gnawed paper upon
which the marauding rascals had reared a
family of their young. He went to work
again, however, and in less than three years
had his portfolio again filled.
SENATOR CAMERON AND LINCOLN'S CABINET.
—The Washington Star of Thursday says : A
Harrisburg correspondent of the New York
Tribune says that it is the opinion of Senator
'Simon Cameron, that Mr. Seward will be of
fered the post of Secretary of State by Lincoln
if elected. This is in direct contradiction of
what Mr. Corwin writes in the letter to Mr.
Hodge, of this city, which will doubtless be
published in the Washington Intelligeneer,
but not until the morning of the election day.
In that letter Mr. Corwin not only says that
Mr. Lincoln tells him, as we stated a day or
two since, that, if elected, it is his purpose to
execute the fugitive-slave law at all hazards,
everywhere throughout the North, until a better
one to accomplish its purpose shall be enact
ed ; but also, that he will maintain the right
of any future State to be admitted into the
Union with slavery in its Constitution, if its
people so decide on coming to frame that in
strument; and also that he will oppose all ef
forts to abolish slavery in the District of Col
umbia against the consent of its legal voters
and without full compensation to the owners
of slaves in the District. He further states,
in the same letter, that Lincoln avows his de
termihation to offer the post of Secretary of
State to the Hon. William C. Rives, of Vir
ginia, and to call into his Cabinet Mr. Fess
enden, of Maine, and Mr. Ewing, or Mr. Vin
ton, of Ohio. There can be no doubt whatev
er that Lincoln does not hesitate to ETOIT to
his confidential friends that those who expect
him to aid in the destruction of the Govern
ment by essaying to incorporate the principle
of " irrepressible conflictism " in his Admin
istration, rest under a. profound mistake.
HORRIBLE SUICIDE. — One of the most hor
rible cases of suicide ever heard of in the cal
endar of self-destruction was enacted in East
Flamboro' on Saturday last, when James
Black, an inn-keeper, of New Berwick,
burned himself to death by sitting on a pile
of sticks I Ile came here on Saturday week
and at, first appeared very unsettled, and told
some of his acquaintances that this would be
the last time they would meet—they had bet
ter shake hands. The week passed on till
Saturday morning, when ho was noticed go
ing into a field where some boys were burn
ing brush, and sat down on the burning pile,
till his clothes were all burned off him.—
The boys gave the alarm, when two of Mr.
Robert Marshall's sons came and dragged
him off, but he still persisted in going on.—
They tried to take him off the second time, but
he threatened them, when one ran for assis
tance to Mr. Martin, who, with some others,
got him off, but he still wanted to remain on,
saying that was his doom. He then was en
tirely roasted. Not a particle of clothing re
mained on bim. Ile bore it all without any
signs of torture, until taken to Mr. Marshall's,
where he was attended by Dr. Ghent, but
medical aid was of no avail, he lingered on
for about eight hours, when death came to
his relief.— Guleph. (C. W.) Advertiser.

A NOVEL REMEDY FOR CONSUMFTION.-A
writer in the Norwalk (0.) Reflector, describes
a visit which he paid last month to a lady at
Toledo, Ohio, who takes six live frogs as a
remedy for consumption. She was recom.
mended to do it by an Englishman, who said
he was cured in that way. In six weeks
this singular medicine has restored her from
a state of great weakness to strength. The
visitor saw the lady take a live frog from a
jar and swallow him whole, without chewing.
Her daughter also did the same.
kte — There are 64 inmates of the Ohio pen ,
itentiary under sentence for life, one of whom
has been confined 24 years.
