".*5 EEL-TIME and harvest, summer
and winter shall nut cease". Often
this sea-on hav the word* been
quotes! a* a comforting promise of
the •pring-tirne that was so slow to
come, the warmth that d<*- not corne
yet in the usual degree. M e need
all the assurances of the constant re
currence of the accustomed changes,
to keep us from the doubting, fearing
mood that seiz-s us whenever there
is a little delay. And we are assured
most and best by the promises that
have stood tons since the morning
of time—but by all experience and'
and observation by scientific research
that has enlarged our field of vision
and he!jK*d us to understand the
workings of nature. All tends to
°
make our faith ami trust more intel
ligent. and vet happy are they who
want nothing bat the Divine promise
f>r their comfort and content. In
some lands there is scarcity and
famine because people have not
learned to make provision for ex
changing one product for another,
but in the world th<*re is always
plenty. Where there is scarcity of
one product there is abundance of
another and the need of constant
exchange but makes our universal
brotherhood more plain. Seed-time
and harvest come to the earth bring
ing constant supply for the suste
nance of the people.
THEY want a capitalist in Empo
rium who will build from fifty to sev
enty-trie small dwelling houses and
six or eight stores. The Herald says
they could be rented as fast a* built.
Something of this kind would lie a
benefit to ('ouders|ort. We want a
co-operative building society.

THE Beaver Radical has a corres
pondent in I'hiladelphia named Eiz
zie who writes about the best things
in that paper.
T THE late cold weather has been
favorable to the making of maple su
gar. At the usual sugar seasov the
snow was so deep that people could
not get about among the trees, so
that almost a total failure was appre
hended. Now that th< snow has
nearly gone otT without sufficient
warmth to swell the buds, sugar has
been made and is offered at moderate
priees. m
A MONO the indications of a change
of climate we begin to miss the little
red hoods that used to go by every
morning to school. Now, occasion
ally, bright eyes and pleasant smiles
gleam out from beneath a sun-bonnet.
THE Monthly lie port of the De
partment of Agriculture, for April,
sent from Washington, contains a
good de;d of interesting matter, and
some that must be very valuable to
merchants as well as husbandmen.
The first article is on the u Condi
tion of Winter Wheat," and gives
reports of the growing crop from a
great many separate counties all over
the I'nion. Here is what it says of
Pennsylvania :
In runny of the counties of Penn
sylvania the ground was yet covered
with snow; an aggregate snow-fall
of eight and a half feet is reported in
W aync; in Llk snow was seven to
eight feet deep in situations and there
were drifts twelve feet deep. Very
few reports indicate unfavorable con
ditions, including t hose of A rnist rung
and Westmoreland; in Indiana the
plants were "thrown out" to some
extent by frosts; and in Pulton the
early sown fields were somew hat in
jured by the fly. In Adams the pros
pect is 44 bettor than for some years;"
the crops "remarkably fresh and vig
orous" in York; "condition sehionj
better" in Pike; "very promising"
in Cumberland; in Northumberland
so luxurious in the autumn that it
was pastured down; and favorable
returns come from Wyoming, Leba
non, Krie, Wayne, Lancaster, Lu
zerne, Huntingdon, Mercer, Lehigh,
Cameron, Chester, Lycoming, Tioga
toid many other counties.
Warren County, Pa The steady
cold winter, with the ground almost,
constantly covered with snow, has
Iteen highly favorable to winter
wheat. I have a piece of winter
wheat that looks as well as any 1
ever saw at this time of the year.
The ground produced a fair crop of
hay in July, was plowed a I tout the
10th of August, manured on top af
ter plowing and was sowed on the
21st of August. Ahout twelve loads
of barnyard manure, made the previ
ous winter, was used to an acre.
Next comes an article on the 44 Con
dition of Sheep and Cattle," one on
" Diseases of Farm Animals," 44En
toniologienl Record "and 44 Chemical
Memoranda," which gives some ac
count of the manner in which sub-
-lances are analyzed, corn, for in
stance.
We extract "I.unar I..gbt upon
Vegetation
La nor light upon >:• 'jrtatvyn. —Mons.
P. Cbarbonnier. in a communication
to the .Journal d'Agriculture Parliqw.
states that lunar light exerts a mate
rial influence uj>on aquatic vegetation.
This fact was first noticed from the
increased growth of crypt ogam'.c veg
etation upon the sides of an aquarium.
It was observed that during the time
of full moon it was much more luxu
riant than during the time of the new
moon. This led to other observations
with regard to it and it was found
that aquatic vegetation generally is
affected in a similar manner.
u The Market Price of Farm Pro
duets'' in several of the largest cities
closes the report.
TIIE following article from the
Sabbath Recorder v.e have to cut
down for the JOURNAL leaving out
the extract of the debate. The
*]>e< ches on this bill, by Mr. Rey
nolds and Mr. Brown, are able and
eloquent. It must I>e they were not
well listened to, or the vote would
have been different. It is hard to
see why any one should l>e held
liable to punishment for obeying his
conscience in any respect not ihjuri
oua to the community, esjiecially at
this time when the greatest want
seems to be that of a conscience to
obey. • .
Below* will be found the action of the
ure of Pennsylvania on the ie
tifion of the Seventh-day Baptists for
the passage of such an act as will relieve
them from the unjust effects of the law
of April 23d, 171#I. The proceedings of
the House of Ifepres ntatives on the
evening of April 1. I-.73, on this ques
tion, as they come to us in the Harris
burg I)'til;i Teht/raph, are as follows:
Agreeably to order, the House re
sumed the consideration of bills on the
public calendar.
An act to exempt persons) who relig
iously observe the seventh day of the
week as the Sabbath from the penalties
of tlie act of April 2_M, lTfil,
The above action is too vital to pass
unnoticed, for it strikes at the founda
tion oil whitth the su|ieiHtriicture of Hie
American government rests. Religious
tyranny in the Old World resulted in
driving some of its choicest spirits from
their homes, across the ocean to find a
resting place from the pursuit of the
relentless oppressor in the wilderness of
the New World, where finally a national
compact was formed, the corner stone
of which had inscrilicd upon it, /WiV/w
LOn-rty to nil . Every beating pulse of
this new-born child among the nations
was quickened and made strong by the
inspirations of the spirit of liberty and
equality. But this spirit alone .had'not
nossession of this country, fur slav'rv
and oppression were here, and by their
artful management, subsidized the gov
ernment, and so obtained its unnatural
support. Hut thank Heaven slavery is
t dead, though in its death it nearly cost
the nation its life. And yet the strife
is not ended, for although the slave is
free and by law enjoys the rights of citi
zenship and political equality, religious
tyranny still lives and is fostered by
law, notwithstanding the clear and
righteous utterances of the organic law
of the nation; and this tyranny finds
support in the action of an overwhelm
ing majority of the House of Itepresen
] tatives of the great Common wealth of
Pennsylvania, April .'id, 1X73. And yet
in that dignified and powerful body are
found twenty-seven Representatives
! who have <jf* and heurlx and moral
( lurnistii. Let their names he enshrined
in your loving hearts, friends of free
dom. and teacb your children to utter
j them with reverence and afLetion!
| These men are strangers to us, but we
! this day inscribe their names upon the
I pillar of fame, and write them upon the
! sacred roll where are recorded the names
I of those w ho, loving the right, have dared
to do it !
< )f the titty-six who have placed theni
. selves upon the side of oppression and in
justice, we will say but little, for with
some of them at least we doubt not
; that want of light was their misfortune,
! and their want of light was a misfortune
( to those upon whom they have laid the
I heavy hand of oppression. For some of
| them we know not what apology to
make, for those whoni they wrong are a
part of their constituency; and how
they can under such circumstances, be
without guilt, either from prejudice or
neglect, we cannot see. A man who
accepts the res|Kinsibtlities of olHce,
should seek to possess himself of the
requisite qualifications for the honorable
discharge of the trust committed to
him. It Is a public calamity for a man
to aceopt office and then fail of meeting
his res|>onsibilities, either for want of
intelligence or candor.
That some of these men acted from
imperfect knowledge is clear. Mr. Lane
said, "The recognition of any other than
the first day of the week would lie dan
gerous, and tend to vice and crime,"
and this in the face of the fact that Sev
enth-day jM'oplf form communities that
rank with the very best in his state.
There are none more virtuous and law
abiding; and his imputation isa slander,
having its origin in ignorance or preju
dice. or something else equally discred
itable to hiin as a legislator. Mr. Lane
should inform himself concerning these
persons whom he thus wrongs, both in
his speech and legislative acts.
"Mr. Klliot (Speaker) pronounced
this the most iniquitous bill of the pres
ent session, and wanted it voted down."
J iSt why this was the most iniquitous
bill of the session the Speaker did not
say. so far as the report shows, but it is
pertinent to inquire wherein the iniqui
ty of the bill consists. It certainly was
an imperfect one because it fell far be
low the standard of right as it regards
the wants of those in whose interest it
was framed, but evidently this was not
its fault m the mind of the speaker.
He evidently would grind under his
Seventh-day persons. The
iniquity of the bill consisted in this,
that to some extent it resjected t!ie
civil and religious rights of th:> e
lent people whose sin consists in this,
tliat they, as believers in the Divine
authenticity of the Scripture**, practice
their evident teachijijg concerning the
day of weekly rest. This they do at a
sacrifice, at the b-st: but the "-Hateof
Pennsylvania, as if from motives of
spite. adds to their ni herwise h-avy bur
den that of unjustly discriminating leg

olieys the four h commandment is re

Gentlemen of the L<-gislatiire of Penn
sylvania. this will not always be so.
Light will shine into your hearts, and
the day is not distant when some of
you at least will change your minds.

"For the lir-t time in my life." says
George Alfred Townsend in a letter to
the Chicago Tribune, which was pub
lished in Saturday's Jh.uocrut, "I met
and s!iook hands with Senator Morton
yesterday," and ho then proceeds with
an eloquent column which is a practical
confession that for five years lie hasleen
writing about the Hidiaiia Senator from
the standpoint of a mistaken estimate,
and that in consequence he has done
great injustice to his qualities of head
and heart, representing him as, in all
respects, a lal man. Whereas a brief
jiersonal contact hat! brought him to a
cuneiusioii quite tiie reverse. This re-
mi is us of Charles Lamb's famous re
tort: "I hate that man,"said Lain'ouii
one occasion, shaking of a person re
ferred to in conversation. " But you
don't know him." said a friend. " Xo.
I don't." said Lamb, "and that's the
reason 1 hate him." There is not in all
the essays of Klia as great a truth as
well expressed as is contained in these
few words, and the wonder is that he
who could discourse so well on t!i" most
trivial subjects <1 id not suggest to him
self an essay from his own text, and
give us a few brilliant pages on Igno
rance as the Mother of Hatred. In the
presence of what might truthfully he
said 011 this subject, its antipodal pro
verb, that familiarity breeds contempt,
would soon fall to pieces. What Mr.
Townsei d so gracefully admits, and
what Charles Lamb so forcibly empha
sizes is proved every day in the public
life of America. —Missouri Democrat.
So it is, equally, in private life.
We see something in people that is
uupleasing—perhaps very objeetional
—and sutter ourselves to feel a dislike
that we perhaps take back with sor
row anil shame on a further acquain-
tance; or. if further acquaintance is
not reached, which we cherish to the
injury of the individual and the much
greater injury to ourselves.
We know, theoretically, that there
is good in everybody. Happy arc
we when we learn this practically
and look for it with lull faith in even
the most unpromising places.
ears ago the pathological discov
ery was published that feelings of
dislike, of contempt, soured not only
the temper but the stomach. So that
by the mysterious connection of the
spiritual and physical natures of men,
dyspepsia and kindred diseases were
the result of disagreeable surround-
ings. But the better understanding
of the mixed human life would always
show us a better, generally an admi
rable, side to every character, and
relieve us from much that we allow
ourselves to suffer.
It is not so much that people are
blind to the fanlts of those who are
very near to them, as that they see
their virtues as others would see them
if they had tin' same opportunities.
In the common neighborly inter
course in chance meetings when tra
veling, above all in the "common re
port" so frequently charged with evil
speaking, let tis accustom
to look for the other side of the un
pleasant character and l'eel assured
that, as Churl s Lamb said, if we
hate any one it is because we do not
know him.
Inauguration Ceremonies of tho
World's Fair at Vienna.
V I EN NA. May 1. —The exhibition was
inaugurated to-day by the Emperor of
Austria in presence of members of the
Imperial family, royal and illustrious
guests and State and civic dignitaries.
The weather was unfavorable, but the
crowds from all parts of the world who ]
witn- *sed t!ie imposing ceremonies were
immense. filling the rotunda and trau
:*-pts of ike building and portions of the
grounds surrounding it. At noon the
Einiierur Francis Joseph entered the
rot inda with the Crown Princess Vic
toria of German}" on his arm. lie was
followed by the German Crown Prince
Frederick William who escorted t!ie
Empress Augusta. After these the
eldest son of the Prince, accompanied
by the Prince Imierial of Austria.
The Emperor took his seat on the
throne. wliena combined band. number
ing several hundred musicians, jier-
formed an Austrian hymn, which was
succeeded by the Prussian anthem amid
the cheers of multitudes. The Arch
duke Charles then arose and addressing
the Euqieror. said:
"SIUK —Filled with gladness. I salute
your Majesty in th-se halls devoted to
progress and to peace; Your participa
tion has fitly brought to completion a
work whi -ii now draws UJH>II Austria
the eyes of tiie world and has secured
for tile fatherland a full recognition of
the part site take* in the promotion of
tiie welfare of mankind through the in
struction of labor. May it please your
Majesty to receive this catalogue and
declare the exhibition open."'
The Emperor receiving the ea diet con
taining the catalogue, replied:
"With lively satisfaction I behold the
completion of this undertaking, the im
jiortance and sigi ificauce I appreciate
in tiie high, st degree. My confiik-nce
1 in tiie patriotism and cajwbility of the
!'-ople. and in thesympatiiy and snjijuit
of friendly nations, has accompanied
the d< velopment of this great work.
' My well-wishes and grateful recognition
ire devoted to its t<wni nation. I de
clare tiie Universal Ex.iibilion of 1b73
; opened."
Prince Von Aurersperg. President of
the Council of the Empire, advancing to
the foot of the throne, addressed tiie
Emperor as follows:
( ">ll:l;—With fe-lingsof modesty and
it tiie same tiin • of exultation and
pride, the ]ieople of Austria gaze upon a
-.voik which testifies ,to an S: .Teasing
power of and growing esteem for t!ie
fatherland, and to its active participa
tion in the groat task of culture, we owe
this work entirely to you. It is the
•mbodiin nt of your motto, "Power and
respect conic from union," which is
strength. We therefore layout efforts
it the foot of the throne."
The Prince was followed by Dr. Fol
der, the Burgomaster of Vienna, who
•xpressed the gratitude of the jieople of
the capital to his Majesty and added:
"Under your government Vienna has
! Itee >rne a rnetro]M>lis. Yon now confer
the highest consecration an under
taking whose noble purpose is to show
what the human mind in even" zone is
capable of achieving in mechanics,
science and art. so that progress may
become common propertyand 1h j fostered
and furthered by the co-ojieration of all
tiie rivalries of invention and dexterity
with theblessiiigof i>caceatnoug nations.
Tiiis sublime creation lias arisen, im
mortalizing the history of culture in
Austria. The City of Vienna, whose
lot it is to welcome hospitably visitors
from all quarters of the globe, feels
proud and elated under the gracious
imperial protection, and inspired with
itlicle riiiK foiLli tiie wiiiils. 'Gixl
protect your Majesty,' ' Long live the
Kmperor."'
The cry was taken up l>y thousands of
voices and re-echoed from nil parts of
the building. The ceremonies closed
i with the chorus "See the Conquering
Hero Comes," sung by united musical
societies and a chorus of the eitv. The
IhniH'ior and Empress, followed by the
i distinguished personages, then traversed
the western and eastern wings of the
jjvxhibition building, being received
| everywhere with thunders of applause.
Having completed the circuit of the Ex
j liibitiou they departed amid salvoes of
j artillery and the cheers of immciisf

It publishes various versions of the
story about the treacherous murder of
the Modocs in K52, by "Captain Hen
Wright" and his company of volunteers.
The act is admitted, but there is a dis
pute as to whether it was done after
Wright disdovered that the Indians in
tended treachery or whether he first
tried to poison them with strychnine
and then invito them to camp in order
to murder them.
The Unkm as good assays that some
times a white man "shoots an unoffend
ing Indian down in sport and wanton
ness and merely to try the range of his
rifle," and thinks the slaughter of the
whole trilie of Modocs. men. women and
children, would be a disgrace to the
army. So it is not always the Eastern
Quakers who look on the Indian side of
the Indian question. — Buffalo Exjrregs.
