Of a man with silver : hairs, .
Did,you-seeiis spirit going
Up the,angels' starry s Lairs ?
Did you hear the angels calling
"Weary pilgrim, cease to roam l"
Weep Mot o'er his peaceful slumber, , ,
Ile is only going home. ,
Mother, bending o'er the cradle,
Where your little one has laid,
Diclyon-know the transformation
" That the sleep of death-has made?
Think: his feet had only started

When the gates of heaven opened,
And let your darling In.

Where they hid away from sight
Ile who won your love, oh. tell me,
Did you see no gleam of light?
Ile is waiting o'er the river,
On the Sunset Ferry's shore,
Till the pale and silent boatman
Comes tc.yo w , your spirityer. .
Children, longing for the sunshine
Of a loving mother's smile,
She has 'only gone before you,
- Tarry yet a little while.
Soon for you the Sunset Gateway
Shall, at day's decline, unclose,
And you'll pass beyond its portals
To along and sweet repose;
„Maiden, is your pathway lonely? .
Do you miss a pleasant voice?,
3:? (:) you . .usto for a footstep
That could make your heart rejoice?
Oh ! the path of pence unending
Is before your loved one's feet,
And he'll gliullybid you welcome
When you reach the golden street. s
Wben we see our loved ones dying,'
How our bitter teardrops fall!
And we fain would keep them with us,
. Though we hear the angels calL
Yes, wo kiss their lips at parting.
While the angels whisper "Come!”
And forget, in human sorrow,
That they're only going home 1
Sunset.
Baud in band, by the garden gate,
TWO little - eager children wait;
Looking across the dusky plain,
Across the billows of rustling grain,
To watch the day in ber splendor dressed,
Die slowly out of the gleaming west.
Over their shoulders, brown and bare,
Floats a tangle of sunny hair ;
All ibts wealth of its tawny gold
Once In shining curls was rolled,
Tossed by the summer winds about,
Caught by the brambles tall and stout
They have been up on the hills at play.
Where the brier-roses bloom to-day;
Hunting the pastures green and low,
For the beds where the sweet wild blackberries
grow;
Wading under the alders cool,
Where the silver minnolis light up the pool.
Into their eyes the level sun
Shines, for its course is almost done; .
Touching, their brows and tangled hair,
With a glniy a pictured saint might wear;
And I almost deem that their anger eyes
Aie looking away into Paradise.
Slowly Out of the gleaming west
Ines the day in her splendor dressed ;
Cloudy castle and gates of light:
Fade to the dusky hues of, night;
But the children's faces grow more fair
As they bend by the mother's knee in prayer

A Physician Driven Out of Elmore,
011io,'..tor Seduction.
The village of Elmore, Ottawa county,
was treated to quite a sensation a few days
since. A physician in that place formed
the acquaintance of a young lady,:and by
constant attentions and studied effort, suc
ceeded finally in winning her affections,
after which he,accomplished her t uin. Not
content with this villainous proceeding, ho
induced the confiding young woman to go
before it magistrate and make oath that a
young man residing iu the . village was the
author of her. disgrace. Soon after the
birth'ef the child , it became evident that the
mother could not live. She was informed
of this by her physician, when she express
ed a desire to have a magistrate called in.
The Justice of the Peace culled, when she
again made oath, stating all the facts in the
case.. The citizens of the village were so in
dignant at the conduct of the physician that
they at once organized a Vigilance Commit
tee and gave the offender a few• hours in
'which to make his departure. Ho left one
day- last week. However, 'he returned,
,when the village women held a meeting
and some thirty-five or forty of them re
solved to visit summary punishment upon
the scoundrel if he did not leave instanter.
Our informant thinks the doctor did not

like to have them perform a surgieal'opera
tion upon his person, and therefore took his
'departure again.
A Profitable Elopement.
Miss Mary daughter of a respect
able and wealthy family of Glen Cove, Long
Island, eloped,.a few days ago, with her
mother's coachman. The loving couple
drove in a farm wagon to another town, and
were made man and wife. „,
The bride atreturned once home and an
nounced her * change of condition, which
produced a scene. Shortly after her arri
val, and while the family were grieving
'over what they considered their disgrace,
the coachman appeared, probably fully pre
pared to kneel and-be forgiven. That ho
did not kneel is to be attributed to hisrapid
ejection from the bousd. He represented to
be an ignorant fellow, possessed or no un
usual share of good looks. All endeavors
to seperato the bride from her husband
proved unavailing, and her family were
forced to buy the man off. It is understood
that slo,ooe has been offered him to relin
quish all claim to his bride and?„.leave the
country: It is expected that he will accept
the offer.
Let the lady, advance one pace beyond the
door of the pew she wishes to enter,,halt,
about face, and salute., The pew must then
be'vhcated by such gentlemen as are in it
by flank movement, The squad should rise,
simultaneously when the lady presents her
self, and faro by:the right flank,, then de
ploy into the aisle, the bedd man facing the
lady, and rest walking to his right and
rear, the direction of his halt being changed:
by a right countermarch, and forming into,
line again up and down the aisle, still faced
'by the right think. The lady, when the
coast is clear, completes her salute, and ad
vancei to her pcsition in, the. pew: The
gentlemen break off by tiles from the rear,
aril resume their places. Great care Should
be taken, of course, by other parties, not to
enter; the aisle when this evolution IS In
progress until:it is completed..

"NO ENTERTAINMENT' SO CHEAP READING, NOR ANY PI!EASDEE i3O LASTING."
....Notes•andl,ke,ets by Quid.
• ' Then' hot Augusts days , qlrive almost
everybody :to tbe'»sea: side. - Some ()Pour
people go to Saratoga, others to Cape May,
and a•few to the White Mountains.•% Droll
these places Saratoga isrthe best, because
you have the extreme pleasure of "paying
more there than at: any other place. The
men smoke, •playf euchre; and drive•fas
horses: • The ladies do the entree, and more
besides--they dress, - an• item in household
ecOnotny, , which :will revolutionize all so
ciety, and papa's pockets beside. It is sur
prising-what effect Saratoga air has on
some peonle.' It makes the men liberal, -L
sometimes •of other , people's• cash—aristo
cratic; aspiring and supremely intellectual
all at once. One week at Saratoga is worth
years at a fashionable boarding school ; it
changes young ladies from barbarous, un
sophisticated- country 'lassies"• to be the
most accomplished, lovely and divine crea
tures that linger on this mundane sphere.
All that is necessary to be added• to the
usual wardrobe of a pleasure-seeking family
is a small national bank, and unlimited,
credit 'at • half a dozen other banks. This
estimate may possibly be sufficient to sup
'ply all demands for fast drives, grand hops
and levees, but woe to the poor uufit•tunate
who, like Captain • Jinks, lives beyond his
means. - . " .
"Quid" has not been , to a summer resort
this year. Saratoga didn't suit 'us, Cape
May' is too near the' big 'ocean, and Long
Branch has too' many 'mosquitoes. 'Our
friend, the "series editor" of the Telegraph,
was at Long Branch a few'days. His room
WILS'so small' that he couldn't• get his-trunk
into it r so he 'pot - his family' in' the room,
and slept in the trunk with the baby. Such
accommodations wouldn't suit us—not - for
Joe. We believe in comfort and pleasure ;
hence we came 'to the Susquehanna.
In these hot sultry days we do not see how
people, living in an inland town like Lan
caster, can manage to prolong their exist
ence. Here in'Colmnbia we can enjoy the
delightful breezes from the river, - without
experiencing the discomforts ea. crowded
sea-side hotel, or the startling visions cf
promiscuous boarding-house hash. Hero
we have river sails, and even steamboat
trips, as well as promenades as grand
and as inviting to the quiet pleasure-seeker
as the boulevards of Paris. To a stranger,
CoTumbia is everything that canbe desired.
JuSt now everything is forgotten except
politics and the girls—the two strongest
elements in the country. The young men
attend to the girls, and the more sober and
discreet engage in the great political con
test. ' Whether it be always discreet to en
gage in politics is a question which we
wouldn't like to decide, but -we guess it
isn't. A'politician is generally a man who
wants offices and often gets them ; states
men and honest men ought to have them,
but are not successful. The times when
the office sought the man are irrevocably
gone by. Oh, how sad ! We are not a can
didate for an office, either subject or not
subject to the "decision of the Republican
voters at the ensuing primary elections,"
'nor do we belong-to any "rings," though
'we believe they are a - good thing—especially
engagement 'rings, diamond rings,- the ring
of the dinner bell, and the ring of "hands
all--'round," --in the- irr . azy a vw..
We prefer an engagement ring to all others,'
prObablY because, like forbidden fruit, it is
hard to get. We know ono 'man in town
who is the unhappy possessor of one of
these golden ties, who would like to he
counted out of the ring, but she won't. The 1
poor fellow, how we pity him !
Speaking of politicians we are constrained
to say something favorably of thorn. • They
- are the most polite class of men it.has ever'
been our pleasure to meet. They are so •
ciable, affable, and wherewithal very lib
eral with their spare change. Some of them
true, are quite fond of asking one to "take
"it drink," but that no doubt grows out of
the great good-heartedness and generosity
'of their noble dispositions—therefore ex
cusable. A few have become very fond of
pleasure, pic-nits; hops, and excursions,
'which they attend' and participate in with,
all the gusto of early youth.' •
"Let us live while we live," was a maxim
of the old Romans. So the politicians
"live" while they are candidates. Who
wouldn't bo a candidate?
T.ELE late eclipse IS already an old story,
but first-rate poetry is a possession forever.
•A. Western bard, whose Pindaric ode upon
the recent phenomenon (if we may so cull
it) appears in the C'iicago Tribune, must
have looked at the sun—or perhaps we
should' snore proderly say "Old Sol"
through a piece of rose-colored glass, ler ho
celebrates.the event as follows :
"Are the gods angry! Is this their frowning
. .yon see!
Not at all! They're as Jolly as Jolly can be!
The Goddess of Night hides his cheek in eclipse!
While the God of the Morning his arm 'round
' her slip,
And yields to the temp ter, and touches her lips!
•Young Eros has stormed the dominions of Jove,
And, false to their nature, the gods are in love!"
Good gracious !—"the gods were in love,"
were they? Why, it was well known that
the gods have been in love over since the
respected Lempriero wrote his Classical
Dictionary. "Has Phoebus Apollo forsaken
his car ?" asks the poet. We have no doubt
of it. He is evidently presiding over a new
Helicon somewhere "out West."
Silent Eloquence.
" O'Connell was amazingly powerful :it
times; but one of his most effective dis
plays was a silent reply to a youthful mem
ber, who bud made an attack upon him
that was quite unique. The almost breath
less assailant wag's:6 Much frightened at his
own audacity that, 'after a few stammering
sentences, be broke down, and making va
rious wild and voiceless gestures, tumbled
uPon . bis seat amid a chaos of sounds.
The shouting having subsided, the great
agitator rose and looked at the greatly agi
tated,with so comic a smile that uproarious
laughter was the immediate result ; then,
sliakihilhi:s bead as much as to say, 'The
poor,' felloWlias quite enough,' he turned
quietly to the speaker and began to talk
about 'something olsh.' Better acting was
never seen on any stage."—.Lippfacott's

Singular Recovery of .3loney.
Aka: 'Rhodes, of Richmond, Vermont,
whose safe was mysteriously robbed of
nearly $B,OOO three - Weeks 'since, recovered
the money in rather a'strange way at Greene

No Short Dresses in England.
Among the ladies whom one meets in
walking in London, you are struck with
the lack of taste in dress. They wear little
or'fio lamps or crinoline, and instead of the
pretty and convenientshort streetcostumes
which Persian and American ladies have
adopted, they still drag about or bold up,
in awkward attempt at . better things; the
long trailing skirts which other nations-dis
carded long ago.

often denounced those office-seekers in

showed great honesty on your part, when
you might have shared those spoils had you
been base enough to enter the "corrupt

man in God's broad earth, that can truth

speak of the Town Council refusing to pay

is all wrong, and I am sorry to see my old

must eventually, pay it, and with interest
too, it being only a question of time.
•My dear Captain, this one act alone of all
others, will endear you to the citizen and
soldier for a long time to come, and when
you have done with the trouble of this

you can depart in peace knowing well that
you have done your duty as a citizen and a

of this county that I am a candidate for
County Treasurer. It is also:known to those
who are acquainted with my political course
that I never identified myself with any

the best of, my judgment and voted for such
men as I considered honest • and best quali
fied for the positions. Some of my com
petitors, and some of the political wire-pul
lers, fearing that I would receive the nein
ination—the popular feeling being in.op
position to "rings': and "set-ups"—about
four weeks ago reported a fictitious "set
up" or "ring ticket," which was never
in
tended to be voted for, and among the can
didates named was myself for County Treas
urer. My name was used in this connec
tion to poison the minds of my friends,
scatter my vote, and give strength to the
real "ring" candidate. I was in hopes that
all• the' Republican• voters would see the
trick prier, to the primary election; but I
find that some of my friends aro not yet
aware of the fact that it was but ono of
their political tricks to defeat me, as it was
not intended for me to be voted for in that
"set-up."'
I hereby pledge my word and honor that
I belong to no clique or ring, and that I
have never, attended a secret political meet

approached; either verbally or by writing
in regard to being connected with the re

I. am connected with it in any shape or form
is a positive falsehood. Idu appeal to the

the duties of the office to the best interests
of the citizens of 'Lancaster county.

The Primary Elections.
COLLIITEIA, Aug. 22, ISti.9.
'Mit. EDITOR :—We are now upon the eve
of the most, important primary election
ever held by the Republican party in this
county, and it is of vital interest to the
reputation and well being of Its voters and
'taxpayers, that they give this election their
special consideration—not merely to go to
the polls and vote, but go before the polls
open, and see that all the offices of the elec
tion board are properly filled, and if neces
sary,-make some little sacrifice by serving
in the offices themselves, and not leave
them to bo filled by the politicians only, or
by their selection. Dotthe advocates of the
Crawford Co. system now come to the front
and see that tile system, in' this, its greatest
trial, has a fair fight_ we may argue about
its fairness, its consistency with the true
ideas-of a Democracy, and its adaptation to
the end to be secured, as,nuch as we please,
hot if we fall to give this election the con
sideration its importance demands, 'who
will, after this, believe us in earnest.
According to a rule adopted at the last
meeting of-the County -Committee. five
officers are _required „at each of our
places of voting, making in all, for our
three polls, fifteen men, 'who must all be
qualified by giving their pledge of honor to
'studiously endeavor to prevent fraud, de
ceit and abuse in conducting the same,"
before entering upon their duties, any
failure in which will make our voto liable
to be thrown out - in the general count. To
make our election a success, it is necessary
that every Republican be prompt nt the
polls and stick to the work . till every Tote
is polled.
Let us prepare our tickets beforehand so
that we can vote for men of our own choos
ing. If we wait till we get to the polls, wo
may have a ticket foisted upon us by some
one of those unprincipled scamps, who sell
themselves for filthy lucre, to do that kind
of dirty work, Of-alt mean men look oat
out for and avoid these—over ready to sell
their own birthright, they would sell ours
just as soon. F. P.

'What financiers they would make!
David Landis, Who resides in Loaned:
township, "ungallantly and unrightly did
kick."•a young woman, and was indicted
for assault and battery. The evidence was
singularly amusing and startling, and
wherewithal very novel. From the Ex' press
we learn that this "horrid man," Landis,
requested the young lady to grlve from one
of the fields some cattle, which had_ broken
-into-St. 06 .msto trzy
care for her crinoline, started to change:it
for some more substantial fabric, before go
ing after the cattle.' He became greatly in'-
censed at this little delay, and proceeded to
give her divers kicks in a very unceremon
ious way. Tot in the face of all this testi
mony from one of Leacock's "lovely star
ferers," several witnesses testified' to the
peaceable habits of Mr. Landis. The jury
very properly rendered a _verdict of guilty
without leaving their seats.
Charles Wilson was charged with enter
ing a dwelling house in Marietta; and'utk-
Mg therefrom a "lot of clothes in the wash,"
—water and all- This fellow had the im
pudence to enter the house, and lie down on
the floor, as if lie were a gentleman of lei
sure. Disturbed by tho approach of the
owner, he tried to escape, which he didn't
do, owing to the kind and voluntary assist
ance of neighbors, for which he is no doubt
duly thankful, as the Court has graciously
invested him with the dignity of lessee of
the Lancaster County Prison for the ensu
ing five years, unless sooner pardoned.
A number of bills were ignorirmused
(that's a big word !) among which was one
against David Trapp for assault and bat
tery on Mary Ann Horner.' She tried to
horn him, but owing to .the want of evi
dence or some other cause, the grand jury
trapped 'her for thr costs of proSecution.'
-Caroline Green, colored, (why, of
course she was colored —green) w as
convicted of committing-an as
sault and battery on Mary .nn Ayers.
This woman Green is a gymnristof superior
muscle,. as the evidence showed that she
Struck the prosecuting three times with one
of her fists. The aforementioned lady of
doubtful colon was sentenced to thirty da.,..s
imprisonment and pay costs of prosecu
tion, which of course she' will not do.
Freeland Ph flips stabbed Catharine nanck
in her right arm, and Miss Runck attacked
him in return with the strong arm of the
.law. The evidence showed that the prose
cut rix and another lady were on their way
home from church,
arm in arm, which
observiog,.ho remarked to a-com
panion that the two ladies ought to be cut
apart. Lie stepped quickly behind them
and struck a blow with a knife, which was
to sever the gorclion knot.. But ho didn't,
and the prosecutrlic,brought suit which re
sulted in a verdict of guilty, and a sentence
to three. ulontb's imprisonment. Philips,
must not suppose that every pair he may
chance to seo closely joined in arm; is a type'of the Siamese Twins, to seperate whom
would be a great surgical feat. The knife
nitty . supply the scalpel . sometimes, but in
this case Philips had better selected some
- more billable victim.- • „ .

indicted for,malleious mischief, which con
sisted in. hurling m stones ,trom , behind a

After the evidence by the prosecution, the
usual defence of-weak mind, insanity; and
other pretences was resulted to. But the
most ungallant thing was proof that Miss
'Veld° , was en inveterate tobacco-chewer,
and had frequent attacks of fits. Ono wit
ness testified to the fact that, when on ono
occasion she was seized with spasms, her
father applied his fist to her back (nice way
of putting it), she ejected from her mouth
a quid of tobacco us large a man's, list.
This was a pretty strong case, and quite
ungracious in the witness to expose the
private personal habits of the prisoner. A
:verdict of guilty was rendered.
A large number ofother unihaportant cases
were heard and passed upon. These. to
gether with a long list of ignoramused bills,
show that petty litigation as on the increase.
If the penalty of malicious prosecution
Were more frequently inflicted, there might
be fewer of these petty . personal actions,
which 'are often dictated by mere personal
whim, and founded on no real cause of ac
tion 'whatever. ,
The few remaining cases before the Court
of Quarter Sessions were unimportant, and
soon disposed Rt. Several cases of deser
tions wore called up, and closed after being
entertained a very short time. Martha
Gohn charged her husband Daniel Gobn
with deserting her. These parties original
ly lived in Columbia, where they were
married. In August, 1866, the husband let
suspiciously, without taking his wife with
him. He remained away three years, dur
ing which time his wife's conduct was such
its to excite the strongest suspicions of her
incontinency. Several children were born
whose paternity he was not willing to re
cognize. The defense urged was a counter
charge of the violation of the obligations
between husband and wife. After an im
partial hearing of both sides of the case, the
court dismissed the parties with county for
costs.
The report of the Grand Jury closed the
Proceedings of the week. During the sitt
ing. ninety-three bills were presented, of
which forty-six Were ignored. This fact
alone is one worthy of the severest com
ment. The Grand Jury very properly re
port that a large number of the cases beard
were of the most trivial character, the re
turning of which only involved the county
in needless expense. This fact is becoming
so potent, that it culls for prompt remedy.
The slightest animosities between neigh
bors, in the most trifling act, attended with
even the remotest glimmer of criminal in
tent, and in a suit, which, in most cases,
iiuds its way to the Grand Jury room, and
is burdened with attendants costs. Some
system should he devised, and when agreed
upon, strictly adhered to, which will reme
dy this growing evil. Words are even ac
cepted as a sufficient provocation for assault
or some other otlence, and the action gen
erally ends in court proceedings. Ira more
rigid system were adopted, which would
still allow the channels of justice open and
unt ram met led , our criminal docket would
not present such a'startling array of crime
and petty litigations. Every quarter Ses
sions Court is a sad chapter upon the morals
of our people. This is general and ap
plies to all districts equally.

Farmer's Creed.
.We believe in small farms and thorough
cultivation.
We believe tae soil loves to eat as well as
the owner, and ought, therefore, to be well
manured.
We believe in going to the bottom of
things, and, therelore, in deep plowing and
enough of it. All the better if it bo a sub
soil plow.
We believe in large crops, which leave the
soil better than they found it—making both
the farm and farmer rich at once.
We believe Unit every farm should own a
good farmer.
Wo believe that the best fertilizer of any
soil is the spirit of industry, enterprise and
intelligence—without this, limo, gypsum
and guano will be of little use.
We believe in • good fences, good barns
and good farm-houses, good orchards, and
children enought . tc pick the trait.
Wo believe in a clean kitchen, a clean
cupboard, a clean diary and a clean con

oak casks headed tight. This is equivalent
to canning fruit. The brine in the cask or
