her that she was all the while, for months, un

A Grecian Bend Tragedy.
At midnight in her chamber lone,
While round her form the lamp-light shone
A maiden fair did sadly moan;
She was a girl of mighty grit,
Her breast was heaving wild with passion,
She was so mad she could have "lit,"
Because she couldn't catch the fashion.
"Pll do it, sure," the maiden said,
The while with wrath she shook her head,
"And that before I sleep in bed ;
I'm bound to have the proper bend;
No more I'lrbear the idle scorning
Of other girls whom. Heaven mend—
Or break their necks the first line morning."
But she ceased and with a sigh,
As though she fain would stop and cry,
Before the glass with courage high,
Till fled the night before the morn,
Her lovely form she squirmed and twisted;
But with the dawn she "owned the corn,"
And from her efforts vain desisted.
Then goaded on by wounded pride,
Nor knOwing where her shame to hide,
In angry mood she "up and died."
Yet though it slimly seems too bad,

STARTLING 3FACTS EY QUID,

the history of any nation was such a gross

as tbat;tvhich the Thugs, and 4he Aunty

tipon'that honeSt and self-sacrificing pa
triot, Quid. Having been induced, after
the most startling exhibition of reluctance
and modesty on our part, to consent to the
use of our name, wo did expect that
it would command some influence and
support. But alas! alas! Too honest to
have our own "set-up" ticket printed, and
"stickers" distributed by the thousand,our
Modesty has• at last caused our defeat.
True, we didn't go to pie-nits every week,
or Fourth of July hops at Litiz, nor did we
get mysterious non do plumes (that means
nobody) to press our claitns upon the atten
tion, of the dearpeople. We stayed at home,
thinking all would be well. On Friday
night we : retosed in quiet peace; sweet
slumber, interrupted only by delightful
dreams, stole upon us. We saw in a vision
huge piles ofgreenbacks rolling in upon us
from the Register's office: Every other
man had died and left a large'estate ; ac
counts had to be filed, and thiS made the
dollars and cents di'e in double column
right into our pockets. How inestimably
happy we were—we held an office We
saw in our dreams the eleven defeated can
didates,
With downcast eyes, standing all alone,
We had money, they had cone.
But the fortunes of a day, especially pri
mary election day are changeable. No
man knows where his grave will be, neither
does a pilitleian know where his public
crib is. All over the county, election of
were bribed to count us out,and thou
sands of tickets (both "ring" tickets, and
those that didn't ring) were circulated with-.
out the name of Quid upon it. Down in
Lancaster, in Fifth \Vnrd,we had seventeen
votes, but they shut the window down on
them. Down in Drumore, we would have
had seven votes, but they wore called away
to raise a flag. At Manheim we had one vote
for sure—Yohaunes Gorillabotzer's—but
they couldn't get his name on the tally list,
and One of the clerlcs—a delicate youth—
nearly choked to death trying to write it.
Even Pattie Smith (Prince street, Lancas
ter city,) acted 'cowardly. - In Conoy they
didn't want to stuff such a long panic, in the
ballot-box—they never stuff, according to
the Lancaster Express—and in Columbia
the other eleven candidates wouldn't with

Correspondence.
Ma. EDITOR :—.l - 13ave been surprised, and
pained, in reading an ilinatured controversy
that has peen carried on in the daily ".Spri"
between the Rev. .W. S. H.. Keys, of this
place, and the Rev. H. R. Gilroy, of-Leba
non. As to the question of veracity be
tween the Reverend ,Gentlemen,
_I, have
nothing to say,
,hut as an old politipian,..l
I do most solemnly protest against the, pros
titution of the columns of any respectable
political paper, to, the bitter, , vindictive,
and immoral tendency of the language used
In said controversy.
.. For instance, "I deny, first, that this cleri
cal vilifier has given my language,, and
secondly, I deny that he has even embodied
my idea, as to the denominational issue.
I have my Lecture now ,lying before me,
and might quote , the passage, • butl prefer
to hold off a few days,, and let the minister
of Jesus do a little swearing, and, gien I
will brand him with a deeper and more
damning stain, than ever fell upon the brow
of earth's first guilty murderer,"
Plr. Editor, I know very little about-the
feelings engendered by a heated sectarian
controversy,but think your appellation"red
hot," quito impressive. But in a political
controversy, the policy most commendable
is to deny the charge with calmness and
dignity. The " Brick Pomeroy" and "Paul
Pry" style of
. detionneing all who differ
with them as ailyiers, iia.Ts and perjurers
has lost its potency, and a good natured
cbristian-like forbearance, is now most es
teemed in political controversy. •
Row easy it
. w ” ould have been for the Rev
erend Gentleman, (had,he possessed some
of the christian graces of a politician) to
have quoted the exact language,aS his lec
ture whilst he was writing his communica
tion "was lying before But ho was
not willing to gratify the public with the
exact language, but showed a disposition to
prolong the controversy, and entrap his op
ponent, and teach him a lesson *not soon to
I)6:forgotten, that a Bishop's Miter, must be
reverenced; hence, he announces ho "would
bild off a few days, and let this minister of
Jesus do a little swearing."
A smart politician in this enlightened age,
would not have made such a covert, or in
sidious attack upon the ministry."
"Let the minister of Jesus do a little
swearing."
Is it customary for the Ministers of the
Gospel to swear? If a high dignitary of
the Church, a Bishop, forsooth, will hold
out inducements ton minister to swear, will
he - not extend the seine privilege to the
laity? Or, are the Bishops and Ministers
to do a little Swearing ?
As politicians we have been for many
years trying to get rid of all kind of "cuss
ing first, because it is immoral ; second,
it is an - genteel, whilst our standard has been
gradually going up. The Rev.'Mr. Keys;
if he is authorized to write the ministry;
is lowering theirs.
The Rev. gentleman informs us in his last,
communication, that Bishop Glossbrenner`
offered a resolution, endorsing this'remark-.
able leCture: "As rich in Information; -
chaste, and elegant in diction,'..tc.," and -re
quested the "Rev. Keys to so dispose of this
paper, that it may become a part of the
literature of the 'United Brethren Church."
Icpw,lqr: 'Editor, if weareto judge the lecz:
tut from "the - chaste'
. elegt!iXdle).iOnt,
"Of: tiiOliist"eoruniunicafloiii, (WhiCh
hopo for the credit, of the United Brethren
Churcb,will not be also incorporated in their'
literature), the facetious Bishop, was
evidently poking fun '-at the Rev. Gentle
man ; ,but he further decla'res, that 'the
"Bishop's, with the one hundred clergy
men of the General Conference," with the
greatest enthusiasm,' adopted the resolution
finally. The organ of the church, the Re
ligious Telescope, pronounced it logical in
itg reasoning and glowing, like the golden
gates Cr morning with flashes of inimitable
beauty and power. Oh ! ye Gods and little
fishes, how "Ivory" sublime! How rapid
ly the above called to mind my past expe
rience in political conventionsorhen an
aspirant for political favors' proved unsuc
cessful, how willing and ready these bodies
were to sooth his wounded feelings by the
passage of a kind resolution, endorsing in
the Most glowing terms his patriotism, elo
quence, and fidelity to party.
Policy, and human nature, aro no doubt
the seine in religious conventions.
There is a current report that Rev. Keys
aspired to the Bishoprick, and those "emi
nent Bishops and one hundred clergymen,
assembled in , the highest court of the
Church with unparalleled unanimity forgot
to vote for his confirmation, and to let him
down from his presumptuous soarings."
With all the sagacity of old politiciuns,they
skillfully played upon the,Rev. Gentle
man's most prominent weakness, namely,
vanity; hence . they penned the resolution
the Rev. Gentlenian
,holds so near and dear.
to his heart. ,
In closing, his communication, he says
"I have written severely, but not more so
than Jesus would have done." Is the Rev.
Keys' insane? or how dare he, institute a
comparison between his low, vulgar, blas
phetnons writings and -sayings, with those
of the redeemer and Savior of the world.
Were it not that God makes great allow
ance for ignorance, and the monomaniac of
vanity, judging from a political stand point,
we would have no hesitancy in pronounc
ing the Rev. Gentleman in an unsaved con
dition. I hope he will not think it his duty
to enter: the arena •of politics this hill, and
engraft his writings and saying, as part of
the "literature" of politics, as it would
lower the standard of our present political
controversy. •A POLITICIAN.

AFTER all the assertions, the gossip,the

again. The.Copperbead newspapers which

have been deprived by this disclosure of a

A COnnecticitt Momance.
" About twelVenionths ago; sayi, the New
Raven Patiaditiins,"Richard Waite, led to
'the , hymeneal altar;, before a large , assem
,blago of .friends,, Miss .Jennie Oitifings.
Richard bad been generally regarded as a
gay Lothario, to the sorrow of his,relatiyes,
and the marriage took place in opposition'
to the:wishes of the'•'bride'S • friends ; but
I, strong love had seemingly bound ,its silken"
I cord firmly around him, and,:for: six or'
eight monthi,"it is said, he, lived happily ;
with the' charming woman, who, notWith
standingthereports which Dameßamor had
whispered in her ears,had consented tube his
wife. But at the end of that period a change
came over the spirit of their dreams. For
some
some reasen, hitherto kept very secret, the
once happy wife, determined to' sever the
ties which bound them together. , In Con
necticut it is—luckily for mismated couples
—easy to obtain a diverie, and some three
months ago the court decreed them 110 lon
ger. man and wife.: The lady returned to
her friends and the gay Richard returned
to the pursuits which he bad followed in
his bachelorhood. It Tis understood__ that
Mrs. Waite'srelatives were mainly instru
mental in securing the separation, and that
her consent was only obtained after con
tinued, persistent urging on their part. It
is easy to separate the bodies, but to divorce
two loving hearts is quite a different mat
ter.' •After their separation it would seem
that only till then did they know, how
strong had been their affection ; for each
other. By degrees they became intimate,as
of yore,lndulging in the same moonlight
walks and passing through a second court
-4114) as earnestly as they did at first. A
second :marriage was talked of, but the
lady's friends interposed the strongest op
position and positively refused their - con
sent. Richard's friends were willing, and
a little more. Finding that nothing better
could be done they concluded to take the
Matter into their own hands, firmly'boliev
log that cruel, hard-hearted- fathers and
mothers have no right to keep asunder too
hearts which Cupid had firmly united. One
night they took the steamer Continental '
for New York, and those' who knew of the
affair in' its incipiency are confident that
they were re-married last week. The young
man was about twenty-three years of age,
and the lady about twenty. They are both
very respectably connected, and their best
friends hope their second search for wedded
bliss will be more successful than the first.

Murder by au Indian.

A son of Peter Trotocheau. aged IS, was
killed by a Chippewa Indian, ten miles
abovo that place, on Monday. They bad

dian, but no ill-feeling was manifested. Ire
was afterwards playing cards with some
other Indians, and one of the Indians
laughed at his comrade for being thrown,
and asked him why ho did not do as ho said
he would.
Upon this the murderer went into a lodge
close by, procured a knife, approached the
young man, and while -his head was bent
forward gave so heavy a blow with the
knife on his forehead that it penetrated his
head, splitting it nearly open,
,from the
effects of which ho:died almost instantly.

The Seven Tear Change ip Ca.
It is advbeated that the material man
.pasSes through a total change once in seven :
years; - end that tha , man: who is .; seventy
years, old has bad tou'different bodies. If
so, : which -of the ten is to- be; raised at the
resurrection Of thiedead? - If ibis theory be
correct, , the human body is never over seven
years of age; consequently; the man whole
'seventy years . old sbould, have been,- gray
headed ten times, as the tenth body is ; not a
day older than the first In the series. If
this theory be.trne, why is not the first body
as infirm as ,the tenth? Why does not the
first body wear, as gray hair, and have
wrinkled"face Mad: dim - sight' as the 'tenth,
if it is as old? .
Certainly, if this theory is correct, the
.first body, being as old as the tenth, should
be as mature, gray, wrinkled and infirm as
the tenth. The soul cannot produce these
results, causing one body at the age of seven
to bloom with health .and vigor, and an
other body of the same, age to be infirm
and gray! If this theory, be reliable, why
do parsons, who have' had the small-pox,
tier s....amat .Vrt- - 2/tCer Co re punnts;;
never take them a second time ? Why not
have them every seven years, if he has a
new body that often?
These diseasei cannot reach and affeathe
soul within the material man, as well as
the first, which composes the body, so that
the continuance of the same soul in several
successive bodies is not the reason why
only'otte of these seven-year bodies can be
afflicted with these amasses. If this theory
be valid, no goOd reason can be givin why
such diseases may not be ten times experi
enced by a man who is seventy years old.
Yet all know that this is not possible.
' This theory carried out, would perpetuate
human life to an 'indefinite, it pot eternal
extent, except when disease or, accident,
should cut it short; for if the first seven
year's could wind up its history, in health
and rigor, unless prevenfed by disease or
accident, 'so might the tenth, or the hun
dreth, and so on, endlessly. Bat facts deny
the possibility of this, even if all accidents
and diseases could be warded of..
If this theory is. valid, it can be lased With
great force in favor-of several absurdities.'
For instance, a married couple who are
joined together for life, may, at the end-of
seven years, one or both, declare.that they
are not bound by the contract, there not
being a particle of matter in either of them
which composed their bodies when they
were married. and, therefore, they are libe
rated from the covenants into Which "they
entered seven years before, and they •Must•
be remarried, or dissolve the family rela ,
lion.
If it besaid,that they have the same souls,
and, therefore, are still bound together then'
the query is, are deattless'souls married to
each other "so long as they both shall live?"-•
;Ifao, it would condictWith our Lord's an
swer to' the Saducees, and' carry the naarri-,
age` relation into 'the' Spirit' world; 'and this
.woUld'involve the idea that the Matt who'
bad several wives there, and the Wait :who.
had married a widow herei would have to,
"contest his Claini:-theke, with her _former,:
And Vibe' spirit:Wife should be

plead that there was not i'partiele of matter '
in his:body that was in it when the - crime
was:committed. • If this theory beia true,
one, the murderer is entitled to a discharge
as by Mt alibi: If it be said that the man
bad who committed the murder, then the
question is, which is to be hung, the soul or
the body? If: the body, then you kilt the
innocent for - the act ofanother. If the soul
is to be hung, IMW long would it hang. to
conform to the sentence till deed.
• Yet this theory had just enough truth in
it to deceive many. It has been scientifi
cally determined that in the human system
there are a variety of "life cells" which re
ceive nourishment from food drink, an.d air
and distribute it through the system. If
this nourishment is excess of the demands
of nature, it is deposited in a vat, to be
drawn upon when luck ofnourishment oc
curs. Those eel's are capable of expansion
and contraction, and of throwing off' the
the surplus matter after extracting the nu
triment it contained. Thus the human
system is sustained and replenished ; and
as there is a gradual passing on' of sub
stances thus received, used and rejected,
the system is at one time heavier or lighter,
and this passing off of matter after being
deprived of its nutritious properties, is
claimed as proof of an entire change in the
body, without just grounds for it.
