/KEEP IN STEP
"Those who walk tegothor must keep In step."
'Aye! the world keeps moving forward
Like an army marching by ;
Hoard ye not that heavy footfall
That resounded to the sky?
Some bold spirits bear the banner—
Souls of sweetness chant the song—
Lips of energy , and fervor
Make the timid•hearted strong !
Like brave soldiers we march forward :
If you linger or turn bask
You must look to got a jostling
While you stand upon the track.
Keep ih step !
My good neighbor, blaster Standstill,
Gazes on it as it goes ;
Not quite sure but ho is dreaming
In his afternoon's reposo I
"Nothing good," ho says, "can issuo
From this endless moving on,
Ancient laws and institutions
Aro decaying or are gone '
We are rushing on to ruin
With our mad, newfangled ways."
While ho speaks, a thousand voices
As the heart of ono man say—
Keep in step
Gentle neighbor will you join us,
Or return to "good, old ways ?"
Take again the fig-leaf apron
Of old Adam's ancient days,
Or become a hardy Briton—
Beard the lion in his lair,
And lie down to dainty slumber
Wrapp'd in skin of shaggy bear,
Rear the hut amid the forest,
Skim the wave in the light canoe ?
Ab I I see you do not like it.
Then, if these "old ways" won't do
Keep in step !
Be assured, good Mr. Standstill,
All-wise Providence designed
Aspiration and progression
For the yearning human mind ;
Generations left their blessings
In the relics of their skill ;
Generations yet are longing
For greater glory still;
And the spirits of our forefathers
Aro not jealous of our deed.
We but follow where they beckon,
Wo but go where they do lead !
Keep in step!
One detachment of our army
May encamp upon the hill,
While another in the valley
May enjoy its own sweet will,
This may answer to one watch-word,
That may echo to another;
But in unity and concord
They discern that each is brother!
Breast to breast they're marching onward
In a good, now peaceful way.
You'll be jostled if you binder.
So don't offer let or stay—
Keep in step.
-LONDON PAPER.
VERACITY A GOOD THING.
Truth is a good thing for boys play
ing at marbles, and equally good for
adult boys who play at base ball. It
is good for the merchant, the trades
man, the mechanic, the politician, the
statesman, the lawyer, the physician,
the minister; in a word, a good thing
to be practised by every intelligent
creature blest with reasoning faculties
and the use of language. A strict ad
herence to the simple truth, under all
circumstances, is a trait of character
worthy of all admiration.
Wo are about to speak of truth in
the abstract (i. D., in contradistinction
to error or perversion of standard prin
ciples), taking the word in its ordinary
significance; as a simple affirmation of
acts and circumstances just as they oc
cur, without any equivocation, dissim
ulation, amendment thereto or reduc
tion therefrom.
What a blessed thing it would be for
the world, if only the practical admo
nition of the Great Teacher in relation
to this subject was stringently regard
ed :—"Let your yea ho yea, and your
nay he nay." If practised by mankind
universally how many severed friend
ships would remain unbroken ! how
much domestic happiness unalloyed by
the tongue of slander! how much con•
fidence by hypocrisy and dishonesty
Lying is truly a disgusting vice, and
emanates from Satan, for ho is the fath
er of lies; yet it is a still more humili
ating fact to declare that it does not
belong exclusively to the vulgar and
profane, but to all classes of society.
We shall not attempt to define or ar
range thorn. There aro genteel fibs,
white stories, gross falsehoods, palpa
ble slanders, poisonous insinuations,
and lies of the most vituperative ma
lignity. Nor• shall we moralize upon
the incipient cause of this evil; briefly
alleging that we 'believe much is owing
to imperfect parental training—a hog
lect among the first lessong of infancy
to teach the young and tender mind
the hidious nature of Taleetiood'and
deceit. *
Perhaps in all the catalogue of hu
man fitilings, there is none more corn
mon that a natural disposition to ex'.
aggerate or dissemble. Mankind, gen
erally; do not think enough of their
words; may we not with safety say
that many seem to ignor the Saviour's
teaching altogether ? "But I say unto
you, that every idle word that men
shall speak, they shall give account
thereof in the day ofjudgment.' "POr
by thy wordp thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be con
demned."—Matt., xii, 36.
The influence of words is much great
er, therefore, than many imagine. We
all feel more powerfully cur own
thoughts, after expressing them in
words, than before. In 2d Timothy,
ii, 17, 18, Paul uses this language :
"And their words will eat as doth
canker, of whoM is Hymeneze and.
Philetus, concerning the" truth,
have erred;" etc. The power of words
is hero compared to -a' cancer or gan

Recently, a union missionary meet
ing was called in one of our city chur
ches. ChVing to the inclemency of tho
weather, or-other minor causes, the
meeting was a failure. There was bUt
"beggarly account of empty benches."
A chilly atmosphere prevails within
the house; two or three speeches:, the
dropping of a few nickles, and the gen

sullied' to welcome the benediction.
Our surprise was groat, soon after to

INFLUENCE Or TUE SMILE IN GIVING
BEAUTY OF EXPRESSION.-A beautiful
smile to the female eountenenee what
the sip-beam is to the landscape. It
embelishes an inferior face,and redeems
en ugly ono. A smile, however, should
not become habitual, or insipidity is
this result ; nor should the mouth
break into a smile on one side, the
other remaining 'passive and unmov

and grotesqueness to the face. A disa
greeable smile distorts the lines of beau

announces goodness and sweetness—
others bettay sarcasm, bitterness and
and pride—some soften their counte.

—others brighten it by their brilliant
and spiritual vivacity. Gazing and

acquiring beautiful smiles half so well

Report of Col. James Worrall, C. E.,
On the Passage of Fish in the Susgue
hana and its Tributaries.
HAnnisnurta, Dec. 18, 1867.
Sin:—.Slaving been re-appointed by
your Excellency to the position of Com
missioner, under the act of March 30,
1866, relating to the passage of fish in
the Susquehanna and its tributaries,
have the honor to submit the follow
ing
The passage for fish constructed in
the Columbia dam, and described in
my last report, I have every reason to
believe is a success.
It iS notorious that shad . have been,
catiild'of tbe"'"very finest- 'quality and
in respectable numbers as high above
the Columbia dam as Newport, on the
Juniata.
The numbers actually taken, during
the past season, between Colombia and
the Juniata, are variously estimated
at from ten to fifteen or eighteen thou
sand,by men in whom full reliance can
be placed. '
In my last year's report to Governor
Curtin, I stated that the <various com
panies owning the lower dams on the
Susquehanna and its tributaries, were
duly notified, .according to law, of
what was required of them; under
,the
act, and that no company had respon
ded except the Susquehanna Canal Go.,
who bad complied with the act to my
satisfaction, by the construction of the.
designated weir.
I laid information strictly in accor
dance with the act•against the genp. l
Sylvania railroad company, who it
that time owned. the next structures
which berried the ape* of the shad
tothe upper river,
This information was duly reported'
to the District Attorney of Dauphin
county, but was not acted upon lash
year, and thus one season has been
lost in' the ,progress of-"reconstruc
tion."
This year, however true bills -have
been found,botli againSt:thiNnnaylva
nia B. li., company, the dompariy own
ing the dams inet :fear; and the Penn
syivania. canal company, the party
owning them at this time, and there
is evory reason to believe that the
question of the constitutionality of the
law will very soon be settled in the
courts.
Should' this question be put at rest so
that this corporation shall be compell
ed under the law to erect the weirs,
have not any doubt but •what shad
will make their appearance:once more
ahevePunean's Island inther,Busque
hanna.--and if this first - company con
structs, the other's Who were duly np
tifled as stated In my last years report
namely the North and West Branch
canal companies and the Wyoming
Valley canal company must also com
ply or otherwise stand a law suit
which it Ts not stippoped that they will
de with the record against them.
The whole Tatter then depends up•
on the result cirthis suit. if the law
now in existence bo inadequate to pro
duce the desired result, it will hp , for
the Legislature to con t tplep the matter
further.
The. people op the Susquehanna, be
twben Columbia and Duncan's Island;
and up the Juniatta, as far as New
port, have had a taste of fish; and
those living above those points being
informed that with an expenditure of
a few thonsand dollars at each dam,
this delicious luxury can he brought
again to their doors, it will not be at
all surprising if they shoul feel excee
dingly anxious that Et law should be
passed bonefitting thcan in the same
way.
Large numbers of the spawned fry
of tho shad have been observed at va
rious points making their way doWn
the river during the fall' and the bod
ies of the old fish—those that had ful
filed their mission in spawning—were
also seen at various points, in large
numbers, late in the season, floating
down with the current.
I should not bo surprised, therefore,
if the catch in thecoming season would
double or treble the number taken
during the season last past, for it is
well known instinct of this branch of
the finny tribe that they return uner
yingly to the localities'ih which they
were spawned, unless prevented by
some insurmountable obstacle inter
posed during their absence.
`The erection of fish dams in the, riv
er, however, will tend very materially
'to . diminish 'this desirable result, and
public opinion in Dauphin, pumbe'r
!awl and 'Perry . countiet3 is so Strong •
against these devices that I believe;
-but a single one was erected. along the ;
borders of these counties this ycar,and'
one was promptly Suppressed by
Having heard, however, that some
of those nuisances were about to be, or
had been iirectod along. the river near
er to Columbia, I egilsed' the - citizens
to be requested to lodge . information
against them. - - '
No such information has been lodg
ed, and I have not been able• to ascer
tain to what extent the downwardpasi
sago of the spawn has been interupted
in the localities spoken of. Tho main
dams in the river aro scarcely a great
er obstruction to the passage of- shad
than theiefesh tiiipe—they catch the
spawn in their meshes, and there the
little creatures die by the thousand.
It is in the hands of the people to
remedy this eryihg `rho 'laws
against the erection of Such structures
are sufficiently stringent to put a stop
to them altogether, but unless those
interested will lodge inforination, the
system will continue, and although the
most efficient weirs stain be made' in
the late dams for tlie passage of fish
up the stream unless the way for the
spawn to'gct down be left Open•no in
