You ask me why I do not wed,
Why I so long have tarried;
When there's eo many to be had,
Why do I not get married.
Though perhaps I'm old enough to wed,
I'm young enough to tarry
Until my heart a partner choose,
I'll surely never marry.
True there were some I might have wee;
Who cooly were rejected; •'
For I'd rather live a lone old maid,
Than no a wife—neglected.
And some perhaps wouhrhave loved me well,
I own I did respect them,
But as I had no love to give,
'Tesoro right I should reject them.
Some wed with those they do not love,
To escape a single life,
But less I dread an old maid's doom
Than the fate of an unloved wife.
An nnloired and unloving "wife—
Oh ! what a life of sorrow ;
For she who bears that dread name
Can know no bright tomorrow.
Her days pass by in endless strife,
She can know pleasure never;
Oh 1 I prefer to such a life,
A single lot forever.
For the Globe.]
Learn to Say No.
Ah! what wonders this little word
has performed. There is not a word
of greater import in the whole English
language than is this little word of two
letters. If we wish to have our lives
characterized with firmness and dech.
sion we must learn to say No. This
brings to mind a remark I once heard
an over indulgent mother make in re
gard to an only son. A friend was
commending her on her son's talents
and genius. "I admit all you have said
is true," remarked the fond mother,
"but there is one sad defect in my
boy's moral character—ho has never
learned to say No." No, Frank Lee
had never learned to say no. His pa
rents were wealthy, and resided in one
of vur large inland towns; were plea
sure seekers, and sought in every so.-
cial circle to win the approbation of
the frivolous and gay; instead of lead
ing in the gay routine of fashionable
life, with no higher aim than to pass
the time, they would materially im
prove the society in which they mingle.
There must be no wavering between
yes and no when duty stands facing
you and speaks as plainly as words
and loudly bids i-ou obey the inward
voice of conscience. If our great men
who have made their lives conspicuous
by noble acts and heroic deeds had not
learned to say no they never would
have been able to fill the positions they
now occupy.
Bullet us now return to Frank Lee.
After an absence of several years, let
us glance at his home. Do we find
Frank the same gay and happy boy of
former days. It needs but a glance to
tell that ho has learned to taste the
sparkling wine. Ah 1 his appearance
is much changed from what it was in
former days. When he returns home
at night does he meat a loving moth
er's smile ? Ah ! no, that mother who
spoke of her son's weak point and ina
bility to say no, has long since slept
beneath the sod of the churchyard.—
Oh ! the wine cup, the bright, spark
ling wine cup, what misery thou host
caused to thousands of unguarded per
ono, who at first just pressed the wine
cup to their lips because it was thought
manly- to do so. In a community there
are always perscus who can command
an influence over others and very often
that tendency may be for evil; when
such is the case there are often many
persons ruined by such an influence.
Had they, had resolution enough to say
no, they might have avoided the sad
tendency which such an effect produ%
ees. Then let me urge upon you, my
young friends, learn to say no. If a
young friend tries to induce you to ac•
company him to the drinking saloon
or any other place of amusement that
your conscience tells you is wrong, say
No, promptly. Do not waver between
right and wrong. There is a beautiful
text in the Bible which says, thou
shalt say no; then think of this text
and say no when urged to yield to
temptation.
A SERVICEABLE COAT.—Many years
sifice an old German citizen of Pen
dleton county, Ivhen about to lead his
fair tifrau" to the hymenial altar, pur
chased a broad cloth coat in which he
was married. lie wife presented him
with many children, among Whom
were eight sons ppeiy one of whom
wore marriedln the same coat in which
their father married their mother. The
youngest of the eight sons 'had seven
sons; every one of whom were married
in the same wedding coat; and after
the youngest son of the original own
or of the coat, had led his blushing
bride to the altar iu his venerable
grandfather's fashionable wedding
coat, he sold it for the sum of ten dol
lars.—Staunton Spectator.

thare purty beds to tezo an torment.
The more tha git, the more tha must
hey; a nu gown begets a'desier fur a
nu bonet ; and these towgothur forme
the foundushun fur a host of eekpen
siv ficksins an fulish flippergigs. Wen
tha wonce git started, an attempt to
halt them is like holdin a kat by the
tale, the more we hold the more tha
squaul. Their morbid apetito is a con
stitooshunal disose, inhairited frum the
"muther uv awl livin," who ate herself
owt of hum, happynoss an Eden, inter
a glumy wilderness uv wo, wannt an
retchidness and wile kats. Wot a pity
it wuz that Mrs. Eve kouldn't hey bin
satisfido with the pure an legitomato
pleasures of pairodice without trespas
sin or. the little that wuz furbidon !
She had evry thing pessary to make
her happi—inkludin abusband, an no

nessary wants an furnished okstras in

her gudo an nobel spowse. She hod
no hous to kepo in order, for the blew
rufed ski wuz their unly an suffishent
shelter, wonco neethur rane, bale, sno
nor slete desended; nur wur the wins
of hevin ullowd to handel her delikato
person ruffiy. Havin no moles to pro
pair, Adam couldn't find fault with her
cookin, nor skold about dinner not be
in redy in soson, no beds to make in
the mornin, no dishes to IVIIBII, no room
to swope, and no stockins to darn—
how could she, my readers, be other
wise than happi ? For her a porpety
ual spring raned in Eden, breathin its
bamy odors thruowt the whole dough•
. main; for her the rozo blossomd thorn
less, merrio bards sung their melodeus
madrigals in every grove, an nature
semed to take partieklar panes to hey
everything as 'it should be—done up
brown. Sorro was then unborn, kart)
hadn't corn inter the world, au trublo
never entered the gaits of pairodiee.
Velvet footed time, treding upon mos
sy banks and beds of yilets, trotted by
with a noiseles step, the golden wingd
minuits flitted past like butterflies inn
June, an the dancin bowers went law
fing by as merrilee as a lot of brite ido
lasses "jist lot lose frum skule." Yet
for all these, discontent dwelt in the
garden, growing duly fat by sillee in
' dulgence.
My readers, to please the palate of
Mrs. Eve there. gru spontaneusly, in
Eden, pares, plume, mellins, grapes,
figs, cherrys, dates, and all Itines of
delishn berrys; of all these she partuk
freely, an without fear of there dooing,
dammage either to her physiCal stem
ack or moral maw. In there midst
studo the tre of nolloge, an from its
bonden bows hung the forbidden apels .
in enticin abundance. She looked up
on them an saw the 'WM fare to be
hold, but never thought of tenting em
till sho saw ritten upon the trunk of
the tree "Turns NOT, TASTE NOT." At
that moment she began to gro uneasy
an hanker after the apols. Tha lookd
more melow an lusshus than ever, au
hey a bite at them she must, lot the
konsequenso be wot it mite. So she
got the devel to giv her a boost inter
the tree, an up she wont like a posum
after persimins. After etin her full,
she selected half a dozen of the biggest
an best and trudged off to Adam, with
a request that he would alsow etc and
pass his opinin on the piping, warupon

PHINEGAN
MORE ABOUT TUE DRAFT. -Dr. Roth
rock, near the conclusion of his report
with respect to the drafts in this dis
trict, writes as follows concerning the
tricks of the lads who would "go for a
sojer:"
"In examination of substitutes and
volunteers, we had more trouble with
boys, not more than 14 or 15 years of
age, than any class of men. They
were frequently brought from a dis—
tance—always chiming to be 18 years
of age. They were so well drilled by
the brokers having them in charge,
that they would force a very full in
spiration, strut about as erect as old
soldiers, and go through every process
of examination with as much activity
as a set of lofty tumblers. They were
taught before coming here that in this
case there was no wrong in pretending
to be several years older than they re•
ally were. Slre rejected many boys
who were over tbc - minimum standard,
because they wet a undeveloped in bone
and muscle, and evidently not over 15
years old. No reliance could be placed
on the word of themselves or those in
charge of them as to their ago. They
presented every variety, from the
stripling boy of 14, to that of full de—
veloped puberty.
"Again, old men over 50 years of
age, came with their hair dyed, and in
some cases with artificial teeth insert
ed, claiming to be aliens and under 45
years of ago. These frauds were so
easily detected, that I believe we were
not in any instance imposed on by
this class
CM:111
"Of the mon examined, the number
of Pennsylvanians largely preponder
ated over all others combined, and in
my opinion, they presented the great
est physical aptitude for military ser
vice. A very large proportion of
Pennsylvanians furnished by this dis
trict certainly cannot be excelled in
symmetry of form, physical endurance
and intellectual development by any
equal number selected from any nas
tionality. This is accounted for by
the habits of industry, sobriety and
frugality, with the fostering care of our
common schools, for which Pennsyl
vania in general, and this district in
particular, are proveibiaf."
ENGLISH IGNORANCE OF AMERICA.-
Those who took the pains to peruse
the speeches recently made by Sir
Morton Peto and others of tho English
capitalists' party, and who observed
the simple *cinder expressed by them
everywhere at everything they saw,
can appreciate the profound ignorancO
of oven the . most intelligent claSses
in England concerning everything in
America. Those gentlemen had had
large amounts of their capital invested
in this country for• years, had had it
invested in the very way which, of all
others, was most likely to make them
familiar with our material character
istics and development and, moreover,
had been friendly to us during the wai,
and, therefore, all the fnore likely to
bo well informed about us; arid yet
Christopher Columbus was not more
astonished by what ho saw upon tho
continent of America in 1492 than Sir
Morton Peto and party were at what
they saw iu 1865.
Wanted--A New Method of Doing
Honor to Distinguished Men.
The Boston Advertiser thinks that
any body who Will intent for use in
this country a new method of doing
honor to distinguished men, performs
an act of humanity towards a deser
ving but suffering class, and will do
something to save the people of the
United States from making themselves
ridiculous before the world. At pres
ent the methods in use appear to be
three. The first of these is to sot the
man whom we delight to honor in some
public place where all corners may
shako his hand. Now, handshaking,
beyond the half dozen men whom the
recipient of honors is glad to see, is an
utterly insane process; beyond the
first five minutes it becomes a labor
ious process, and after the first fif
teen minutes it is torture under which
the strongest constitutions break down
and before which the stoutest hearts
quail. Moreover any man is supposed
to have a reasonable choice as to the
sort of people with whom he shall be
brought in contact. Few of us think
that even the Roman was any too fas
tidious, who when before meeting his
fellow citizens 'as a candidate, "bid
them wash their faces and keep their
teeth clean." But it is literally the
"great unwashed'wbom we thrust upon
any great man when wo sot him up in
Fanouil Hall or in the City Hall of
New York, to try his endurance by the
pump handle process.
The second method is to have a ser
enade by appointment with a brass
band and an enthusiastic street mob,
and vociferous cries of 'speech, speech,'
and unlimited champagne afterwards.
Now a serenade in the stilly night by
Romeo with his flute, listened to by
Juliet at her window, with no bystan
ders or dogs upon the lawn, is one
thing;but this entertainment under gas
light, with all the crowd and confusion
and tumult of a city fire, is quite an•
other thing, and not to be recognized
from its name. To the object of the
demonstration this speech making on
the balcony, with the certainty of be•
ing reported in the morning papers, is
severe penance; while the scene in the
supper room afterwards is alit to be
simply disgusting.
And finally, when we would do She
thing with especial elaboration, the
approved method is to have what is
called with no appropriateness a "re
ception," such as was extended to Gen.
Grant in Now York the other night.
Policemen with their clubs are usually
the masters of ceremonies on such
oc
casions; detectives in plain clothes
observe the movements of the spoons
and forks; those who got out of the
crush with their clothes whole upon
their backs esteem themselves happy,
and those who cannot get in are found
to be happiest of all, the distinguished
guest undergoes the extremity of corn
pression and hustling in addition to
the handshaking process; every ele
ment of social enjoyment is squeezed
out of the affair; and the result of it
is that local dignitaries see themselves
announced in the newspapers as the
committee and managers and guests
of an entertainment, about which
everybody talks for a day and at
which the better part of the commu.
nity laugh with contempt.
Absolutely it is to these methods
that the people of this nation are redu.
laed, when they would testify in a public
manner their regard for a man whose
name excites in every breast senti•
ments of admiration, respect and grati
tude. So clumsy are their efforts to
articulate their feelings, tot it is only
by subjecting him to the maximum of
personal annoyance in the given time,
that
. General Grant or any hero can
be duly assured that his countrymen
honor his character and recognize his
deeds. Is not American ingenuity ad
equate to the task of contriving some
other sort of public demonstration,
which shall save us from the discredit
and ridicule which so properly attends
the essential and stereotyped vulgarity
of the methods now in vogue? ---

Lafayette College Endowment.
Why is it that the State Colleges do
not seem to grow so fast into public
confidence, or in the number of stu
dents, or in the amount of donations
and endowments contributed for their
support, as those schools under the
control of some religious denomination?
There is Lafayette College in this
Stato, which is not yet a full genera
tion old, and which was, we believe,
first started in this city by Rev. Dr.
George Junkin, and then removed to
Easton as a Manual Labor School, is
now, in addition to Princeton, becom.
ing a most important and flourishing
Presbyterian College. The present
President, Dr. Cattail, though quite
young, is full of energy, and wonder
fully successful. Some time ago We
alluded to the fact that Mr. Pardee, of
Ilazelton, a gentleman of great wealth,
had contributed $20,000 to this institu
tion. Other gentlemen joined, on con
dition that the subscription should
reach $lOO,OOO. About 840,000 of this
sum is still wanting, and Mr. Pardee
has now come forward and tendered
another 8100,000 to found a Scientific
School, provided that the $40,000 is
made up. In addition to this another
gentleman has given $lO,OOO to erect a
building for the pursuit of Natural
Science. Rev. Dr. Green of Princeton,
delivered the address at the laying of
the corner stone of this building—a
very able address indeed, extracts
from which we laid before our readers
a week or two ago Its faeulity is an
able one, the venerable Professor of
Natural Sciences especially having a
high reputation, both at home and
abroad. He has stuck to the institu
tion in dark hours, when its prosperity
seemed almost hopeless, and but $4OO
a year each was all that could be given
to the professors. Now he lives, in his
old age, to witness a very great change
in its condition and prospects, and his
own department especially endowed
and contributed to in a manner that a
few years ago would have been. un-
beard of even at Harvard or Yale. •
We feel sure that the facts of the
case need but to be mentioned, espe
cially to the highly respectable and
wealthy denomination under the care
of whose Synod this College is placed
—the Synod of Philadelphia—to secure
the immediate raising of the sum that
alone is wanting, about $40,000, to se
cure the magnificent endowment now
proposed by one of the broadest minds
and noblest hearted gentlemen of our
State—one who, though not himself
educated in a college, or a member of
the particular denomination to which
this college belongs, has thus invested
a portion of his wealth, from a deep
respect for the wise and safe plans on
which it is founded, a sense of its value
to the State, and a high personal es
teem for its excellent, energetic and
truly pious President. If this plan is
carried through, as no doubt it will be,
that institution will have a property in
buildings, grounds, professors' houses,
college buildings and endowments of
$250,000, without a cent of debt.
But our reason for calling attention
o this act of munificence is further to
inquire why something similar should
not be carried out in regard to the
University of our own State, located
in our own city? It is cheering to see
how much of the accumulating wealth
of our citizens is being bestowed on
the endowment, of seats of learning.
We spoke the other day of the munifi
cent gift of half a million of dollars
and an estate of sixty acres of land,
given by I-lon. Asa Packer, to found
the "Lehigh University," and of $lOO,-
000 raised for the "University" of
Lewisburg. Why should not some of
those gentlemen of wealth Whose sons
have been, and aro being, educated 'ti
the University in our own city, donate
pecial funds to found professorships
and schools in connection with it, that
shall malfo it, especially in its course
for under graduates, a perfect n 1 0. 40 1)
worthy the chief city of our magnifi

rustees take this matter up, so that
parents and families may be brought
here, and not forced to live elsewhere,
who desire to give their sons the most
perfect education the country can af
ford, under their own eye.

Letter from Mrs, Enool r n

Mr. Carpenter, the artist, whq has
been publishing in the Independmt his
personal recollections of President,
Lincoln, gives, in his last contribution
the following extract of a letter fronu.
Mrs. Lincoln :
"Truly," writes Mrs. Limo,ln, "no
sorrow has been like unto mine."
am as broken-hearted over this over
whelming affliction as when the terri
ble tragedy first occurred, and, of
course, realize it far moiT. I have lost
the most loving and devpted othus
bands, and ray dear boys the-best fath
er that sons were ever blesied with.
'Until God's love shall place me by his
side again,' I shall know no peace, or
alleviation ofmy grief. Knowing him as
you did, I am sure you can pardon
and appreciate a wife's great sorrow
over so untimely a loss !

"How I wish you could have beea
with my dear husband the last three
weeks of his life. Raving a realizini
sense that the unnatural rebellion wee
near its close, and being most of the
time away from Washington, where
he had passed through such conflicts
of mind during the last four yeare— e
feeling so encouraged, he freely gave
vent to his cheerfulness. Down the
Potomac, he was almost boyish in his
mirth, and reminded me of his original
nature,. as I remembered him in our
own home, free from care, surrounded
by those he loved.
"That terrible Friday, I never Saw
him so supremely cheerful. At three
o'clock ho drove out with me in the
open carriage. In starting, I asked
him if any one should accompany us ?
He immediately replied; 'No 'I prefer
to ride by ourselves today.' During
the drive be was so gay that I said-to
him, laughingly: 'Dear husband, you
almost startle me by your great cheer
fulness.' Ho replied: 'And well I may
feel so, Mary, for I consider this day
the war has come to a close,' and theft
added, 'We must both be more oheer
ful in the future. Between the war,
and the loss of our:darling Willie we
have been very miserable.' Every
word he then uttered is deeply engraA
ved on my poor broken heart. In the
evening his mind was fixed upon hay;
ing some relaxation. *- * * I firm-,

ness when the fiends prevailed, he .
would have been horribly out to pieces.
Those fiends had too long contemplated
this inhuman murder to have allowed,
him to escape."
LABOR SAVING-LABOR
Labor saving'implements were once',
thought to be destructive to the inter.
eats of the working• man, just in. pro
portion as they saved the drudgery : of
labor. This seems reasonable at first,
•
but a little thought will correct the er;
ror, How then do the farm laborers,
thrown out of work by the introduc
tion of improved implements, ultimate
ly find work ? Plainly by the increas
ed amount of tillage which horse pow
er, machinery and tools make possible
in the country. 'ln a section where%
all the soil-is under cultivation of sorne ,
kind, it will lead to more thorough sys-,‘
tem of. farming. In the case of our'
own country, it leads to the faster-ex , ;
tension of civilization westward,the
pid subjugation of wild lands, and the,
better cultivation of that already un
der the plow. For instance, the West-.
ern grain grower, who now devotes,
soventy.five to one hundred and fifty
acres to corn and other grain crops, to
the meager fabilities of thirty years
ago, could not have managed- one,

more manufacturing establishments,
more mechanics to construct those,a,ndi
men to manage them, more miners,
