OVER TEE EARS
'Twits milking time and the cows came up
From the meadows sweet with clover,
And stood in the lane, while pretty Jane
Ilad a quiet chat with the drover.
Such a quiet chat, that It scarcely seemed
That a single word was spoken;
When a magic spell with the nignt dews fell,
And the rhythm of song was broken.
The cattle stood at the lover's side,
Without any show of Vexation,
As though impressed that a Live-bar rest
Was a part of their rest-oration.
And as Jane listened to the notes that came
Right under the bars and over,
Her heart took wing, like a silly thing,
And nestled up close to the drover.
She heard him say that his home was poor,
That he'd nothing but love to give her,
And she stalled content, as though love had
spent
Every arrow he bad In his quiver ;
She smiled content, while the evening air
With voices of birds was ringing.
And her lips confessed that a lowly nest
Should never prevent her singing.
So over the bars the lovers lean.
In the joy of sweet communion,
And their looks declare that poverty ne'er
Shall be a bar to their union.
Oh, sweetest muse, go thread your rhymes
Now under the bars and over,
Where pretty Jane, in the fragrant lane
Bewitched the heart of the drover.

SECRET ORDERS 111 AMERICA
Among the oddest incidents of recent
date is the meeting of a national conven
tion at Cincinnati opposed to secret socie
ties, at which the Hon. D. Parrish was
elected president, and incouraging letters
from various sources were read, including
a communication from a religions synod
recently held in Xenia, Ohio, denouncing
secret societies.
This occurs at a time when these
very organizations have risen to a greater
pitch of power, of numbers and of impor
tance; than at any period in the history of
this republic. The Masons have certainly
never before been anything like as numer
ous or influential in America as they are
now; while the Odd Fellows, American
Mechanics, Red Men, and a host of other
orders flourish amazingly. The Masons
are building a hall in Philadelphia that
will cost seven hundred and fifty tlmusand
dollars and be one of the noblest monu
ments of architectural taste in the coun
try. The same order has just had an im
mense procession in New York city, and
laid the corner-stone of a vast new hall.
Within a few years past the Odd Fellows
and Red Men have had grand parades in
Philadelphia.
Yet during the very period when these
orders have been making this extraordina
ry progress, the opposition has been grow
ing strongest in the churches. The Latin
Church is so strict on the subject that a
priest will not knowingly give absolution
to a member of a secret society; and al
tholig4, at first it ,was difficult to, enforce
the proliibition, yet it is gradually proving
successful. Nearly all the evangelical
sects have in one way or another taken
action against the societics,althoug,h their
members, and even their clergy still con
tinue to be members. The Society of
Friends is naturally opposed to such or
ganizations, though some of its members
quietly belong to these orders.
Tinder such circumstances, with these
two currents moving in opposite direc
tions, it is difficult for any one to form a
conclusion as to what is to be the ulti
mate result. IVe do not doubt the power
of the churches to keep their members
from these organizations, as the success
of the Roman Church in the effort is proff
that the thing can be done. But if all the
Churches together were to proscribe the
secret orders, that would merely weaken
them and would fail to destroy them. A
large portion of the members either have
no religious ties or feel very loosely bound
by them. And from our own experience
and observation we have thought that to
quite a large body of their members these
secret orders supply the influences which
the Churches exert over their members.
A church exacts of its adherents amity,
brotherhood, succor of the distressed, and,
hi fact, an the good offices that men ex
pect of relatives or friends. The secret
order binds every one of its membrs to do
this by solemn oath. The Church requires
its adherents to be moral, honest, upright
fair-dealing and above reproach. All the
lessons of the secret orders are precisely
similar; and it can no more be urged
against the latter that they do not strictly
enforce all tins than it can against the
Churches.
It is among the strangest freaks of mod
ern society that many a man who declaims
violentiy against the Churches as exorbi
tant hi their demands, spends more money
in a lodge to which he alone can go,than it
would cost him to belong to a church to
which he could take his whole family; and
the requirements in both cases are similar,
except i s regard to doctrines. But still,
if the man prefers the secret order, and it
exerts a wholesome influence over him
which a church would not, we do not see
why any one should interfere with him.
If any one secret, order stood alone in
the community pre-eminent and powerful
as the Know-Nothing, Order once did,
it would constitute a real danger in the
State. For, in such a case, the oath of
brotherhood and mutual aid becomes a
fearful reality, and controls all the offices
of the republic. But, in fact, the orders
are so numerous and so powerful that no
one organization can stand apart. The
men belong to several orders, and this
renders the oath of brotherhood a nullity
in its restricted sense. A man who be
longs at the same time to the Masons,
Odd Fellows, Bed Men and Sons of Tem
pdance may be called upon at any time
to aid a man belonging to one order who
could not pass muster in the others. This
is really very often the case; and it has
done so much to weaken the orders, that
thousands have quietly given them up as
failures.
These secret orders do more good, how
ever, in a quiet lvay than they receive
credit for, and those who are organizing
movements against them should bear this
in mind.
They are hound never to allow any of
their brethren to suffer from privations,
want, sickness, &c., if they can relieve
them. They give vast amounts of money
in this way, and in every case it is well
bestowed, after full investigation. It is
given without show of any kind. They
are bound to bury their dead decently, and
in proper form. They are bound to take
care of the families of their dead brethren
and to see that the orphan children are
cared for . and educated. These are not
idle claims. They speak of work actually
performed.
Some of the Odd Fellows, Mechanics, ,
and other orders, have been compelled to
establish cemeteries of their own, because
of the refusal of the sepulture of their
brethren in ground consecrated by certain
religious sects; and in these cemeteries
the stranger or the poor brother is always
sure of decent burial. Lately they have
established orphans' asylums and libraries.
As for the ceremonial observances that
distinguish all these orders, while we
would not apologize for such as are mere
relics of European association, and show
the taint of 'feudalism and privileged no
bility, we would remark that man has an
inherent taste for imposing forms, and
that nearly all our Churches, in their va
rious ways, avail themselves of the lmowl
edge of this. In many of the orders there
is not sufficient ceremonial form to' im
press the brethren properly. We believe
that such of the orders as come from Eu
rope have been more or less changed and
Americanized, and this process will go on
until all the objectionable features are
purged away. The purely American or
ders make their way slowly, on account
of their comparatively recent origin.
Philadelphia seems to be the paradise of
the secret orders, and they are leaving
their marks here in the iustutions they
are building up. So far we have not seen
any evil results of their influence, and we
therefore think that they may all be safe
ly allowed to work away in their various
spheres of action.—Phila. 11. Aincrica n.
THE - ZETSTDNESTATE
We notice, says the Philadelphia Tele
graph, a foolish error going the rounds of
the press regarding the appellation of the
Keystone State, " and how Pennsylvania
came to be so called. It would be an end
less task to attempt to correct all the stu
pid mistakes made by newspapers, but
this error concerns Pennsylvanians di
rectly. According to the veracious histo
rian whose account is before us, Pennsyl
vania has no better or higher right to be
called the "Keystone State" than this:
that when the city of Washington was
laid out a certain bridge near George
town had its arch fancifully inscribed
with the names of the original thirteen
States, and that Pennsylvania, having the
central place in the arch, was called the
Keystone by the primitive citizens of
those times, and hascontinned to be called
so ever since. This is putting the cart
before the horse with a vengeance. We
do not deny, continues the Telegraph, so
much of the bridge story as describes the
formation of the arch, but we do say (and
think it strange -even that it should be
necessary for us to say) that the device of
the architect was but taken from a histor
ical incident of very great importance.
The name, in fact, was derived from the
circumstance that Pennsylvania cast the
deciding vote on the question of Ameri
can Independence. I n Sanderson's
"Lives of the Signers," it is stated that
the vote was taken by the delegations of
the thirteen colonies. Six of them voted
in favor and six against the measure.
The delegations from all the colonies,
except one member from Pennsylvania,
had voted, and it was discovered that they
were equally divided. - Upon this simple
vote, then, depended the entire question
of issuing the Declaration of Indepen
dence. The name of the delegate upon
whom so much depended was .Tolm Mor
ton, and it is a name that should never be
forgotten. John 'Morton voted aye! and
the deed was done. Thus Pennsylvania,
by giving the casting vote, settled that
important question, and from that cir
cumstance she received the name of the
"Keystone'' State—the thirteenth State—
the block of the arch.
HINTS TO WRITERS AND SPEAKERS
Wm. Cullen Bryant gave the following
excellent advice to a young man who of
fered him an article for the Evening Post:
"My young friend, I observe that you
have used several French expressions in
your article. I thiuk,if you will study the
English language, that you will find it Ca
pable of expressing all the ideas you may
have. I have always found it so, and in
all that I have written I do not recall an
instance where I was tempted to use a for
eign word, but that on searching, I found
a better one in my own language.
"Be simple, unaffected; be honest in
your speaking and writing. Never use a
long word when a short one will do. Call
a spade a spade, not a well-known oblong
instrument of manual industry; let a home
be a home, not a residence; a place a place
not a locality; and so of the rest. "Where
a short word will do, you lose by using a
long one. You lose in clearness; you lose
in honest expression of your meaning, and
in the estimation of all men who are com
petent to judge, you lose in reputation for
" The only true way to shine even in
this false world, is to be modest and unas
suming; falsehood may have a very thick
crust, but in the course of time will find
a place to break through. Elegance of
language may not be in the power of all of
us, but simplicity and straight forward
ness are.
" - Write much as you would speak; speak
as you think. If with your superior,
speak no finer. Be what you say, and
within the rules of prudence. No one
ever was a gainer by singularity of words
or pronunciation. The truly wise man
will so speak that no one will observe how
he speaks. A man may show great knowl
edge of chemistry by carrying about blad
ders of strange gases to breathe, but he
will enjoy better health and find more
time for business, who lives on common
air."
Sidney Smith once remarked: ".after
you have written an article, take your
pen and strike out half of the words, and
you will be surprised to see how much
stronger it is."
A .11Ac with four wives was brought
before Iluns Swarihart, a Mohawk justice
for committment on a charge of bigamy,
"Four vives," exclaimed the astonished
Hans; "four vives." Dat vas a most hi

"Why," protested the prosecutor, "why

Will the court explain?" "Yes, I ecks

I got too much banishment already."

DEATH OF JEROME " NAPOLEON
BONAPARTE.
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte died yes
terday morning, at two o'clock, at his late
residence in this city, corner of Park and
Centre streets; aged 0.5 years. He was
born in England while his mother was
awaiting the favorable intercession of her
husband with his brother, then Fmperor
of' the French, which was never obtained.
The romantic but saditory which attended
upon the marriage of his parents is famil
iar to every one—how the popular and
courted Jerome Bonaparte, commanding
a French frigate, landed at New York in
1802, and was feted by our people in his
tour of sight-seeing through the country;
how he fell in love with Miss Elizabeth
Patterson, of Baltimore, who is still liv
ing in this city, and who at the time of
her marriage was the reigning belle and
the daughter of the wealthy merchant,
William Patterson, Esq. They were mar
ried December 24, 1803, by Bishos Carroll;
according to the rites of the Roman Cath
olic Church; and with a solemn marriage'
contract, drawn up by Iron. Alexander J.
Dallas, witnessed by the prominent citi- j
zens of Baltimore.
The youthful couple remained in the
United States for a year or more, travel
ing over the various sections. In the
spring of 1805, after the empire was de
clared by Napoleon 1., Jerome returned to
Europe with his bride, but by an imperial
edict all the ports of France were closed
to her, and she was not allowed to visit
France, as the marriage had not met the
imperial sanction, and as it came directly
in condiet with the views which the ambi=
ti on and self-aggrandizement of the found
er of the Napleonic dynasty had prompted
in regard to his rendering his tenure of
power more secure by forming brilliant
matrimonial alliances for his brother's
with the families of the ruling monarchs.
lie was made King of Westphalia sub
sequently, and as monarch was quite suc
cessful. He was made a marshal of the
empire and the President of the Senate,
and in the failure of the succession of di
rect issue to the Emperor he became heir
to the throne. lie had one son by his
second wife Prince Napoleon Joseph
Charles Paul, commonly called Prince Na
poleon.
The young mother. Mrs. Patterson I3o
naparte, returned to her father's house in
Baltimore in 1811, and the lad Jerome,
whose death we now notice, received every
educational and social advantage which
wealth, talent and fond affection could
give. He graduated at Harvard Univer
sity in 1826, and studied law, but never
practiced it. He soon after his gradua
tion married Miss Susan Mary Williams,
of Roxbury, Mass. whose fortune Was very
large, and which, added to his own, made
him one of the wealthiest men in Balti
more. He has resided in this city since
his marriage, attending to his business in
terests and agricultural pursuits. Two
sons were the result of his marriage.. The
eldest of these graduated at West Point,
but after the revolution of 1848 he resigned
from the United States army and went to
France. There the Emperor so far rec
ognized him as to give him a commission
in the French army, and he has served
with distinction in Algeria, in the Crimea,
and in Italy.
Mrs. Patterson Bonaparte never had an
interview with her husband after his de
parture from her at Lisbon in 1804, but
once in 1820, when, during a visit to Eu
rope, she was gazing on the treasures of
art in the Pitti Palace, at Florence, Italy
she met him in one of the galleries. He
turned to Mrs. Bonaparte No. 2, or rather
the Princes de Mon tford, and remarked
in an undertone, audible, however, to our
countrywoman, " that lady is my former
wife.''
During the reign of Louis Philippe the
deceased resided in Paris under the name
of Patterson, and since the aecesion of
Napoleon to the imperial purple he has
been the honored guest of his cousin at
the French Court, where his eldest son,
Jerome Napoleon, is attached, although
nominally in the French army.
In personal appearance he strikingly re
sembled the portraits of the first emperor.
He had the same features and solid look
which characterized the greatest soldier
of modern time, and when excited by feel
ings of either anger or pleasure he had
the same fiery expression. Ile resembled
Napoleon more than any of his famliy.and
Louis Philippe, during the time he was
in Paris, found it requisite to use every
precaution in police management to pre
vent an outbreak of popular feeling.
Ile resided many years with his mother,
who is now 90 years of age. She has all
her faculties, and confidently :looks for
ward to see her grandson succeed Louis
Napoleon as Emperor of the French,which
would present the singular anomaly of an
American ruling France. During the
late civil war in this country the deceased
allied himself closely with the Federal
interests. Mrs. Sarah C. Williams, the
mother-in-law of Jerome Napoleon Bona
parte, who resided with him, has been in
feeble health for some time, but no imme
diate fear of death was felt by her friends.
What is rather remarkable, soon after
the dissolution of Mr. Bonaparte yester
day morning a member of the family pro
ceeded to the room to inform her of the
fact, when she was found dead in her bed.

STREET FIZETING
The impression that pretty girls like to
be smiled, winked and bowed at by gen
tlemen, evidently prevails to an alarming
extent among certain youths who imag
ine they possess irresistible charming
forms and physiques. A casual observer
might not notice this fact,but those whose
business requires them ro be much on the
streets cannot fail to do so, especially
when the habites of our streets are
more carefully observed. A lady who
possesses a becoming toilet is liable, one
who possesses a pretty face likely,and one
who possesses both are almost certain to
be stared and smiled at, and probably fol
lowed by some shallow-brained fop who
imagines every lady lie meets is struck
with his fine personal appearance and good
clothes. Some of these self-satisfied
youths are constantly in motion, and, ap
parently, their chief aim is to pass and re
pass attractive young ladies as frequently
as possibly in a given time and space.
Others locate their " stunning " frames
M striking attitudes, on prominent street
corners, and allowing pretty damsels to
pass in dress review, bestowing their ser-

pentine greetings on all who are so fortu
nate as to notice them.
A. woman who feels flattered by, or will
return the recognition of a, stranger is
either possessed of a degree of vanity very
likely to prove her ruin, or is already be
yond the possibility of such, a change - in
her morals. There are, of course, circum
stances-under which, acquaintances may
be formed, without introductions, but the
meaning sought to be conveyed is, doubt
less, sufficiently plain without detailing
the exceptions,'which all sensible women
understand and aPpreciate.
Some girls claim that the only attrac
tions possessed by street flirting is that
" there's so much fun about it," and noth
ing more serious liable to result. This
theory will not hold good in one-half the
cases, as fully that proportion of; flirting
girls became unstable or demoralized wo
men. It may be fun at first for girls, but
men rarely waste as much time and devote
so much labor to the simplequest of fun
as understood by the guileless misses.
Girls who encourage it seldoin, if ever,
quit as refined and attractive members of
society as when they-- conimenced, and
many poor, down-fallen women can trace
their ruin to what they considered at first
an innocent flirtation.
ERRORS OF TEE PRESS
A slight mistake frequently changes the
whole effect of an article, or may utterly
ruin a writer. Alluding to faux pas of
the press, Pycroft relates a conversation
which he held with a printer. "Really,"
said the printer, "gentlemen should not
place such confidence in the eyesight of
our hard-worked and half-blinded reader
of proofs, for I am ashamed to say that
I've utterly ruined one poet through a
ludicrous misprint." "Indeed: and what
was the unhappy line?" "Why, sir the
poet intended to say, 'See the pale martyr
in a sheet of fire;' instead of which we
made him say, 'See the pale martyr with
his shirt on firc.' Of course the reviewers
made the most of a blunder so entertain
ing to their readers, and the unfortunate
author was never heard of more in the
field of literature."
Another versifier was extinguished in
the following manner:—A lad in a print
ing office came upon the name of lieeate,
occurring in a line like this,—"Shall reign
the Hecate of the deepest hell," the boy,
thinking he had discovered an error, ran
to the foreman of the (Alice and inquired
eagerly if there was an cin cat. "Why
no, you blockhead," was the reply. Away
went the juvenile type-setter to the press
room, and extracted the superfluous letter.
But fancy the horror of poet and publish
er, when the poem appeared with the line:
--"Shall reign the Ire cat of the deepest
hell."
Another instance, showing the impor
tance of a single letter, is that of all ad
vertisement in aNew York paper, in May
1869, headed, "Infernal remedy." It was
very possibly, quiet true, but_of course the
compounder of the quack mixture meant
to have said "Internal remedy."
A long list of such blunders might be
enumerated, but we shall content our
selves with the following:—A publisher
a hundred dollars for the best tail for his
paper; a grocer advertises an invoice of
boxes of pigs from Smyrna; a New York
landlord announces a louse to let, and
possession given immediately; at an in
quest held the other. clay on the body of a
glutton who died in devouring a part of a
turkey, the verdict 'suffocation' was print
ed with morn truth than was intended,
stuiThcation. And, to conclude an illus
tration, an editor recently apologized for
an error of the preceeding day which
made him refer with pleasure to the "over
flowing soakers of Major Eccleton's hospi
table board" "overflowing breakers" was,
of course what he wrote.
The editor Zit a well-known religious
journal, in reference to an individual,
took occasion to write that he was rectus
in ecclesia—that Is, in good standing in
the church. The type-setter, to whom
this was a dead language, in the editor's
absence, converted it into rertus in culing.
which although pretty good Latin, alters.
in some degree, the sense, as it accorded
to the reversed gentleman spoken of only
a good standing in the kitchen.
Incorrect punctuation is, also, a prolific
source of
_faux pas of the press. When
Lord Timothy Dexter, of Newburyport
wrote his famous book, entitled "A Pickle
for the Knowing Ones," there happened to
be many heresies, schisms, and false
teachings abroad in the land regarding
punctuation, and as many diverse systems
appeared for the location commas, semi
colons, periods, dashes, etc.. as there was
works published. To obviate the didicul
ty, and give every one an opportunity of
suiting himself, his lordship left out all
marks of punctuation from the body of Lis
work, and at the end of the volume had
printed five pages of nothing but pauses
and stops, with which he said the reader
could pepper and salt his literary dish as he
choose.
Still another ludicrous mistake was that
made by the clergymen of a parish, to
whom the wife of a person about to sail
on a distant voyage sent a note expressing
the following:—"A husband going to sea,
his wife desires the prayers of this con
gregation." Unfortunately the good ma
trons was not skilled in spelling or punctu
ation, nor had the minister quick vision.
and he accordingly read the note, "A hus
band going to see his wife. desires the pray
ers of this congregation." This mistake is
nearly as bad as that of all Irish journal:—
" For 'his G race the duchess of Devonshire
was safely delivered.' 'her Grace the duke
of Devonshire.' "
The late Peter Dastie. of New York
City discovered above one thousand errors
in spelling, syntax and punctuation, in a
so-called immaculate English edition of
the bible, and one-tenth that number of
errata on two pages of a popular una
bridged dictionary. The only books that
are believed to be perfect—i. c., entirely
free from typographical errors—are an
Oxford edition of the Bible, a London and
Leipsic Horace, and an American reprint
of Dante. The University of Oxford had
a standing offer of a guinea for each and
every error that might be found in their
edition of the Holy Bible referred to above.
For very many years no one claimed the
reward, until recently an crrataum, was
discovered by a lynx-eyed reader, the re
ward duly paid, the error corrected, and it
is now confidently believed to be without a
typographical blemish of any description.
