ONE GLASS MORE
Stay, mortal, stay ! nor heedless thus
Thy sure destruction seal ;
IVithin that cup there lurks a curse,
Which all who drink shall feel.
Disease and death. forever nigh,
Stand ready at the door,
And eager wait to hear the cry
Of "Oise me one glass more."
Go view the prisoners' gloomy coils ;
There sin and misery scan ;
Gaze, gaze upon these earthly hells,
In drink their woes began.
Of yonder children, bathed in tears,
Ask, why is mother poor?
They'll whisper in thy startled ears,
'Twas father's "Oue glass more."
Stay, mortal, stay ! repent; return,
Reflect upon thy fate;
The poisonous draught forever spurn ;
Spurn, spurn it. ere too late:
Oh, fly the horrid grog-shop, then
Norlinger at the door,
Lest thou, perchance, should'st sip again
The treacherous "One glass more."
Trust not to thy deceitful heart;
The Saviour's grace implore ;
Through Him from every ain depart,
And touch that glass no more.
EMU
THE AGE
[The following essay, composed by
miss Linnie Sangrec, of McConnell&
town, this county, was read at the
Teacher's Institute, on Thursday eve
ning, Dec. 23d, 1869.]
1.10.6 m
How the people ci•y it down ; yet
the people make the age. There is
something wrong. Where? What?
Woman's Rights! Now don't shrug
your shoulders impatiently, at the
prospect of a tedious lecture; that is
not my subject, and I don't propose to
say much 'about it; but it belongs to
the age. %%ere are two ultraists iu
opposition to this question. One - who
knows very little, the *other who is
supposed to know a great deal. The
former would have the world at a
standstill ; the old time customs and
prejudices cling to them like a sort. of
incubus. The believe the days when
the girls wore linsey-woolsey dresses,
and sat behind the spinning -wheels;
who had no ambition, beyond marry
ing ono of the sturdy youths—no mat
ter whether his education consisted
only of Dill worth's Spelling-Book and
English Reader—they believe that to
have been the golden age; the era of
peace and contentment. They tire
terrified, sink into positive nothing, in
contemplating the onward march of
those pioneer women. They read lit
tle and give no reason for their anti
pathy, save, "It is not as it used to
ho"! Again, there are those—so-call
ed great men, those learned men ; men
who are the first to proposa a "toast to
fair women," men who are loudest in
their praise of the angel woman ; but
who are silent, when it comes to the
practical use of dollars and cents—that
is, rewarding her financially, the same
us man for .the same service: Men
who are clamorous in their appeals to
keep the tender feet of woman from
off the highway of public life; but who
forget that in the by-ways, the desert-
IA corners, aro women to be found,
whom these men with all their theory
could not well call the angel woman,
and yet they aro women, just such as
it possible for any woman to becOme,
weighed down by change, and a series
of disastrous circumstances. Woman,
who, had their education not been so
superficial, who,had they been trained
to he active wo4ers, instead of mere
adorning appendages, would never
have fallen to such depths. These
men are prolific of reasons who Wo
man's Eights should not be tolerated.
"Woman is apotheosized, she is a star,
a flower, a thing of beauty, and men
lift their weary eyes, and bless God
that the vision is real and can be
' theirs. But take them from this emi
nence, allow them to tread the jagged
and jutted path that men do, and the
glory of the Ideal woman, is palled in
the grey mist of the sordid." This
sort of reasoning sounds very beauti
ful; a budget of magnificent noth-,
ings. These men are the last to re
cognize the fact, that the only way to
rescue the helpless, desolate; poverty
stricken woman from the thousand
perils that beset her, or to prevent her
froni becoming an of of pity—is to
educate her mentally, morally and
physically, to think, reason and act
for herself; should she be thrown on
her own resources, I am afraid too,
that these men make their high trib
ute to woman a cloak to hide their
real feelings. I may err in this; I trust
I do. Yet I cannot help wondering
whether there be not Death all, a little
selfishness ? They have held the field
of intellect so long, they doubt wheth•
er they can grant more than a corner
to their sisters. They have so long
thought woman a dear, little plastic
creature, they cannot bear the idea of
stepping off the light of supremacy.—
They are willing she should stand on
the border-line of the world of Profes
sion and Literature, but not on the
arena, not as peers, not as aspirants,
not as workers with'them; they have
their apprehensions too, that the
princely domination of man's intellect
may lose s some of its exceeding bright
ness. There are enough of household
loving woman ; there will always be
enough. If there aro energetic, en
terprising, self-dependent girls who do
not see fit to lose their individuality,
who don't think marriage the "ono
thing needful," why, lot them alone;
they are girls who defy misfortune.—
Again, there are few women having
happy homes, or anticipating a happy
wedded life—who are extremists in
this question. But after all, it's the
the novelty of the thing Those who
denounce it may be more hitter still
in their denouncements; the moderate
woman. may oppose it to the last, but
she will move on with the movement,
and if the day is won, what woman
=3
will withhold her vote ? "This is an
age of inconstancy; no honor, no
truth," etc. Now, I don't exactly
credit this; I believe the age acquiring,
just that philanthropic perfection it.
should. That is, loving a great mato'
greate deal. I believe in this ;
don't believe in the love that holds
itself in solitude, when the first object
dies, or is lost. There are jewels all
over the eartA, if taken to us, would
brighten our lives. I have my dis
tinctions. There is a difference in
temperaments.. .1 am only excusing
those whom the world brands as in
constant ; beings who cannot exist
without sonic one 'to love and caress;
who in the absence of one loved object,
find :another; whose hearts o'erflow
with genuine affection ; who feel like
taking all humanity in their great
arms, and whom I believe to be truer,
more loyal, to every one they profess
to love, than those grim, reticent,
storieal models of propriety, aro to
their one; who love once, an ideal—
but marry the actual, and live without
love at all. I have sympathy,
but no patience with broken hearted
people,—that is, who are dead as far
as love and happiness are concerned.
It was never intended that man or
woman should die of unrequited love.
The world is full of loving hearts,
ready to respond. There 18 beauty
and sunshine enough to flood every
life with happiness. For every
good, every joy, every love taken
from us, some other good, and joy and
love is given us in return; surer, deep
er, more abiding, if we would only
think so. What if our ideals do fail,
our idols fall, our dreams fade What
if' the ashes of the old do lie before us ?
Can we not have higher ideals, rear
more sym metrical fabries,d reit m sweet
er, more exquisite dreams? There
are flowers all around, if.we would but
part the weeds; there' are stars ever
above us, if we would but look through
the mist.
"This is a fast age ; that is, there are
more avenues to ein. Granted; but
there are also more paths to goodness.
The distinction between right and
wrong is so broad that if we siu, we
we sip deliberately. Tho road to er
ror is visible in so many different trays
that we must be blindly perverse, not
to see it. True, there is a valley of
sin unseen, where thousands daily,
hourly, throng; and the voyage to
those purple-stained fields is deeper,
darker, more terrible in its blaekness,
because made it, the light of knowl
edge; because sophistry must be em
ployed to combat the convictions of
truth; because the- angel flashes the
flat ing maid of light all around us.
Sin perhaps is not more universal, but
more glaring Yet is not this consci•
ousness of the reign of sin, this recog
nition of error,—a single gleam front
the better future ? is it not a veil,
through which with our imperfect
vision, we see the coming period, per
fected by the changes and evolutions
of progress ?
Then there is Fashion, ever on the
rack of censure. "The styles aro ri
diculous." Just as though,tho dress
of the present age were not that of a
century ago, reproduced in a more or
less moderate mode. Yet our great,-
groat grand-fathers and mothers, were
all sensible people. The human must.
have change. Monotony in anything
becomes insipid. I notice that those
who are loudest in denouncing the
.fashions are generally careless in
their habits, careless of their person,
and who have little taste for the deli
cate and beautitbl. I notice too, that
those wise men—who pay much at
tention to the head, little to the ward
robe; who are eternally deploring the
shallowness of woman as displayed in
her love of dress, who condemn it to
the world as profoundly weak,& super
ficial—if they see a woman they love,
clothed in ordinary, with little taste,
little regard to outward adornment,
the ideal woman fades, :and with it
generally, the ardor and enthusiasm
of their love; like a beautiful work of
art—they may weep over the cost,
but adore the effect. Women love
beautiful things, and men, spite of
their much taking, love them too.—
What the world calls frivolities, after
all, fall over our lives, like ripples of
sunshine, causing much of its bright
ness.
There are a host of other things, con
damned as belonging to the age. But
it is not the actions in themselves:that
should'be censured it is discrimina
tion and moderation we need. Is it
not the fault of home education ? Are
not the parents in part responsible for
the errors of the present day ? Arc
there not young men and women who
should be children still Again, sonic
who will ever remain children as far
as. actual discipline is concerned 7--
Knowledge is a great thing, a glorious
thing; knowledge of the right kind, is
everything. But there is too much
ad7ico given to the world, not enough
of example at home. Are children
taught to discriminate between the
highest sense of right and wrong? Is
the high way of life shown to them as it
is,—jagged, jutted and tortuous, with
patches of sunlight, hero and there a
paradise? Are they taught to believe
that neither their will, strength and
honor, nor the love and care of their
parents, can save them from the evils,
the perils, the temptations that lie all
along the path of existence'? Naught
but a trust in the Infinite. That there
is no tower ofsalety, save the Omnip
otent? Aro they taught to reverence
the holy, the good, and -true ? Are
they taught to bate sin in all its forms
that can alone bring real sorrow ? To
love the light, which though crossed
by black lines, can alone lead to true
happiness ? To parents see that their
children have proper books and
amusements? That the imagination
has not impure food? That they are
not given to a series of peccadillos,

that, so often form the borderland to
the farstrotehing plain of indiscrimin
ate vice and sin ? Parents so often in
observing the speedy ruin of their
children, deplore the necessity that
sent them from home so early in life,
when, if they but knew it, the corner•-•
stone to their career was laid at home,
the heart prepared by 'silent, unseen

Hence, the 'powerful: reasons that

there is.danger in wrong-directed am

callous and selfish, that has fbr its ax

ready to help a brother, so long as it
takes nothing from the purple of my

opinions; that causes the - greatest
minds to adopt theories as visionary
as dreams, to build their-eternal fu

of sand; to seek mystery that ends in
night; that leads them to term a God

Heaven but the truest, surest and
shortest way—the Gospel.
There is another evil, Practicalism,
that has seized the minds of individu
als like gory night-mare. ,'As a great,
black current, it sweeps all in its on
ward flow ; none rise above it. We
have ideals enough, but all in our day
dreams. We have poetry - enough, but
always written and sung about; al
ways in the unreal. The world might
be a succession of paradises; we.inight
see life, and in ruin-bow lima; but
ever looking through the brown mist
of the practical, even the beautiful be
comes frightful in its reality. .
Again I say, there is something
wrong, but that wrong is not in the
energy, the enterprise, the changes,
the events, 010 progress that charac
terize the age. It is not that the times
do not suit the people, but that the
heads and hearts of the people, aro
not trained to suit the times.
A PEABODY ROMANCE
The fact that the late George Pea
body died, as he had lived, unmarried,
has given rise to innumerable specula
tions and anecdotes concerning the
cause of his remaining singio. It is
generally believed that at onetime he
was on the point of marrying Miss
Burdett Coutts, an alliance that, in a
financial point of view, would have
been ri very natural one. But hers is
not the only name with which that of
the millionaire philanthropist has been
associated, and now we have still ano
ther suggested. For the following ro.
mantic story a Providence paper is ro
sponsible :
Moro than thirty fears ago, iu the
far-famed school of the prince of teach
ors, John "Kingsbury, was ono of the
fairest of all the fair daughters of Pro
vidence, celebrated far and nigh, as
that city has ever been for its lovely
girls. Her school educMion finished,
she went with friends to Europe, not,
however, before having given her
youthful affections to a young man
whom she had met in a Sister city.—
But before marriage had consummated
their happiness adversity came upon
him, and he.found himself in no situa
tion to marry. He was not willing
she should waste her youth and glori
ous beauty in wailing through long
years for the day to come when he
could call her his own, so ho released
her from her vows, add they parted,
she going, as I said before, to Europe,
There she met George Peabody, then,
comparatively speaking, a young man,
but one who was'alretrdy making his
mark, and whose wealth was begin
ning to pour in on every side. He
saw her and was struck (as who that
ever saw Tier was not '.) with her grace,
her winning ways, her exceeding love.
liness, and, after a while, he pimposed.
Her heart stilll clung to her loved OHO
scrods the wide Atlantic, but after
some time ehe yielded, perhaps to the
wishes of her.friends, perhaps to the
promptings of worldly ambition,
who
can tell ? Who can fathom the heart
of a young and beautiful maiden ? She
became the young and affianced wife
orMr. Peabody. - After a little inter
val she came back to this country, and
soon after her arrival, met her first
love, and after events justify me in
saying, her "only love." At sight of
him, all herformer affection came back,
if, indeed, it had ever left her, and Mr.
Peabody, with hie wealth and brilliant
prospects '
faded away, and she clung
with fond affection to her American
lover, and was willing to share a mod
erate income with the chosen of her
heart. All. was told to Mr. Peabody,
and be, with that manliness that char
acterized his every action, gave her
up, - and in due time she was married
and sett,fed in a city not more than
three hundred miles from Providence,
What she suffered in corning to a final
conclusion wars known to but few. Her
fair cheeks lost their roundness, and

ed every heart. Some blamed her, oth
ers praised her. Those who were am
bitious of worldly honors pronounced'
her "mad," "foolish," to. throw over a
man like George Peabody, whoa& ever
increasing wealth would bestoW every
luxury upon her, and place her in 'a
position in . London • that would make
her lot an on vied'ono, to marry a man
whomght never 'have more than a

fled her in :thinking that lovey trde
love, was more to be desired 'than
Wealth or earthly fame. The painful
conflict was at length ended.' •Her
true womanhood vindicated itself, and
she wavered no more. I well remem
ber, when in London; twenty eight
years ago, hearing all this.talked over
in a chosen circle by American friends,
and also at a brilliaiNt dinner party
given by General Cass, in Versailles,
it was thoroughlyAiscussed in all its
length and breadth. - Whether, in his
visit to this country, Mr. Peabody ever
met his once affianced' bride, I can not
say; neither do I know whether, when
she heard of his more princely wealth,
her' heart• ever gave a sigh at the
thought, "all this might have been
mine," After several years of wedded
bliss, death took her husband from her
side, when the glorious loveliness of
her youth had ripened into the full
luxuriance of perfect matronhood.
ANOTHER MINING HORROR
HAZLETON, Dec. 18 —A terrible mi
ning accident occurred this morning at
5 o'clock, at the village of. Stockton,
near this place. At the hour named
the community was startled from
slumber by a loud noise, caused by the
caving in of slope No. 1, of Linderman
& Sheer's coal mine. Upon parties
huPying to the scene it was discover
ed that two double dwelling houses,
Nos. 3,4, 5 and G had been. carried
down with the enormous masses of
earth that filled the shaft and tunnel.
Stockton is it small village, situated
on the Bazelton branch of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, - two miles distant
front _Hazeßon. It contains many
neatly built houses and other build
ings, the company's stores and the ho
tel being the principal structures The
company employs about twelve hun
dred miners, who make this their
home:' Thd milk; . rittis - parallel 'with
the railroad track through the middle
of the village. About fifty feet above
the place of this morning's accident the
mine caved in same years ago; but no
danger of its happening again - haS since
been 'apprehended. About ten years
ago a small hole we's made by the full
ing of the earth directly in front of
the two ill-fated houses.
The residents of houses Nos. 3 and
4, Mr. Philip Wetheran,his family and
boarders, and the family of Mr. Wm.
Monist, and boarders, were saved from
a terrible' death by tt singular circum
stance. A dog belonging to Mr. Mor
rist awoke the family by its persistent
howling and barking. One of the men
rose for the purpose of ascertaining
whtit ailed the animal, when he dis
covered that the house was sinking.—
lie immediately gave the alarm, and
the two families had barely time toes
cape. Miss Mary Wetleran;running
in the wrong direction, fell into the
ttbysu, but was subsequently rescued
by some courageous young men., She
is somewhat bruised and prostrated
from excitement, but will recover.
All of the residents of houses Nos. 5
and U lie hopelessly buried in the ruins.
They comprise Mr. Schwenek, his wife,
a son of nineteen years, a daughter of
eighteen years, a son Of eight years
and an infant. ,This comprised one
family. The other consisted of Mr.
Isaac Ranch, his mother, wife and in
fant. This makes a total of ten per
sons. It is reported that some men
were in the mine at the time of the
accident, and if so all are undoubtedly
dead. But the report is very doubtful
and cannot be traced to any reliable
authority. So far it has been found
impossible to reach the dead bodies of
the victims. The cave is seventy five,
feet wide and sixty feet deep,, and as
the stoves in the houses set fire to the
wood work the entire cavity is now a
burning and smoking mass. The Pi
oneer No. 1, fire engine of Hazelton
,was soon on the ground, and made ev
ery exertion to extinguish the fire, in
the hope that some of the persons in
the cave might ho saved. There was
not, however, the faintest probability
of any being alive ono hour after the
accident took place, as all were buried
by the fallen earth with frightful effect
Trains are running from E.azelton
every hour to the scone of the disaster,
and will continue to do so until all the
bodies are recovered, which will be
some time yet, as it is still clangorous
to cuter on the work of rescue because
of the earth still continuing to fall in
and thus enlarge the cavity continually
The excitement is very great and is
increasing. Families in the vicinity
aro moving out of their houses, fearing
that theirs will full in next. It is the
general opinion other houses will fall
in. There is also danger of the mines
taking fire. Messrs. Linderman and
Silver arrived at the scene of the dis
aster this afternoon. They are spar
ing no pains to secure the bodies as
speedily as possible.
11AZELTON, Dec. 21.—Last night the
bodies of Mr. Eaton, Mr. Baker, Mrs.
Swink and her daughter were recov
ordU and brought from the mine. The
head of Mrs. Swink was crushed ,and
burned to a crisp. Iler body and the
remains of the other victims were Ike
rally crushed to a jelly. It is sup
posed Mr. Swink and }pis two sons had
started to leave the house when the
alarm was felt, and were caught be
tween the first and second floors when
the house wont down.
