"'ice la a ntonatr of eu-h frightful mein,
That o be liatod ned but U) he aeeu ;
Tot eevn t oft, familiar with ber fiMe,
We first er..litie, then pity, tln ombraec."
The iiiitinrv BtCDR in anvlino of sin
ful indutgenco are warmly cntttoRtcil
by the moral influences that uover
nround, despite tho most energetic ef
fort to throw thorn beyond our natu
ral bent. Wo mny hate cvon tho
thoughts that first form the ground
work which culminuto in overt ooU of
wickedness, knowing to a demonstra
tion, thut a future in which they op
erate IB beset by thorns, ending in
and life itself. Wo may loatho tho
object of pursuit, denouncing tho im
pulses that drive us forward ; yet,
there is a charm, an unnatural agen
cy which tithes the will captie, makes
us pliuut sluves, submitting our minds
ami bodies to acts of humiliation and
shume.
We nro living in an ago of excess
ive wickedness. Crime is fearfully on
the increase. Tho city and country
prints aro filled with narrations of
murders, rnpino and theft, with their
collateral train of evil surroundings.
All classes of society aro represented
in the roll of tragedy and crime, whero
in is recorded "man's iuhtinianity to
man." We find tho Revs. "Kinslys and
Hudsons, reputed ambassadors of
Christ, figuring with the Probsts and
Springs, whose lives were spent in
erimo from earliest infancy, tho pet
ted Jietcum and the sneak river tnicl,
side by sido in the list of criminals.
These aro tho cropping, sow n du
ring tho "civil" struggle. Tho list of
killed and wounded, by bullet, shell
and sword, by cxpusuro, fever and
starvation, may present a more fear
ful bulk of mortality, furnish the
homes of thousands, with dark man
tles, obstructing the rays of hope as it
once gleamed on all around. Such
sorrows are smothered by tho march
of timo, oflon leaving the heart purer
and belter quuliticd, afterwards, fur
subsequent conflicts. This second
crop, however, is moro blighting in its
effects, more fearful in its Uevlop
ments, and more, far more detriment
al in its germinating resources. The
widowed wife, tho fatherless child and
doting parent, find some consolation
in the thought that their loved ones
yielded life as an offering in defence of
Lome and country; but no consolation
survives the wreck dashed upon the
highway and lost beneath tho aveng
ing sword of justic e. The wife, child
or parent sou no "silver lining" in the
dark, portentious cloud that enguiphs
them, no rain-bow of promise, assur
ing that all is well beyond tho divid
ing lino.
Tho returned soldier, a complete
wreck, a mere romnnnt of his former
self, although an object of eommiscia
tion. is honored hy tho truo patriot'
while tho moral wreck, which goes
down in the storm of lifes rugged wa
ters, is remembered only as a reproach
upon tho name of humanity.
This is indeed an age controlled by
wicked passions, tho powers of evil
have even marshalled their hosts with
in the visiblo church, using its irtfln-
ence to prolong strife and social feuds.
The God of peace, of brotherly lovo,
of christ ian charity and forbearance.
has been compiled to abdieate the
Throno, while the God of war, of hale
and of selfishness, hus reared his seat
prepared at tho word of the pooplc,
to keep alivo tho clement of discord,
disunion and oppression. Tlnve bit
ter fruits, legitimate oflshots from the
held of carnaire, flourish niter tho
smoke of battle, after tho war has
ceased, after tho articles of cnpitulu
tion arc signed and scaled, with doublo
vigor. We aro just beginning to reap
the bitfer fruits of national sin, The
North and South ahko share in this
harvest. Thorc is no escape from the
lireful purse only in tho resources of
that portion of our peoplo who profess
to mould their actions upon christian
principles who proloss to bo guard
ed by moral checks and wholesome
laws, founded upon principles of equi
ty and justico. Tho homo influence
must be a christian influence, inculca
ting a sentiment of love, of expanded
philanthropy, ol forgiveness, or we
suffer by schism, jealousies feelings of
alienation, calculated to undermine
society in all her departments. Let
ns a individuals, as integral parts of
this republic uso our etlorts to create
a wholesomo state of society, and tho
work will comment.
Our country must rooogniza the
great principles that aro taught in tho
Script tires, niakingthein a controlling
power in the land, or wo never will be
exalted as a nation. Passion will nev

manent influence, will never mnko us
ono in every good vnrd and work.
Let the leaven of christian charity,
brotherly lovo and national unity
ilwcll among our professed christian
people and it will not bo long before

Til Romance of a Pour Young Mau "liaey
C'uuic, I'oay Co."
Tho history of tho Stool farm and
its luto owner is a lesson to young
men who suddenly acquire wealth
Wo copy from tho Oil City Daily lituj-
inter: "Wo noticed in bnel, lnves
terday'g pnpor, tho sale of tho John
W. Steel, more familiarly known as
tho Widow McClintock farm, hy tho
17. S. J)oputy Collector, to satisfy the
claim of tho Government for taxes
duo. It was bid in by tho Govern
ment to secure tho chum amounting
to ( 11, GOO. At a previous sale by the
Sheriff of this county, $74,(100 was
or claim. lho claims against the
property aro heavy.
"A brief history of this farm may
not prove uninteresting to a largo class
ol our readers. J ho idow McCl
tock farm, consisting of about 100
acres, is immediately opposito tho
flourishing town of Kousevillo, on Oil
Creek. It was ono of the first among
the oil producing larmB of tho valley.
The Van Slyko well, on this farm
struck curly in IKOo, produced for
some timo. at tho rulo of 2,500 barrels
of oil per daw Besides these, there
hnvo been a largo number of smullor
producing wells on this. Tho leases
obtainod from Mrs. McClintock ex
pirod with her death. lJuring her
lifetime the farm was well managed
and highly remunerative. In 104
Mrs McClintock diodj hor death was
caused by being badly burned while
kindling a firo with crude oil. After
her death, it wub found by her will
that tho farm and all her possessions
wero lelt entire to her adopted son,
John W. Steele, a youth, of nineteen
or twenty. Tho daily income of tho
farm, accruing to tho laud intorest, at
the time of her death, averaged about
f 2,000. In tho iron safe wlioro Mrs.
McClintock kept her money, was
found $40,000 in gold, and ? 100,000 in
greenbacks. All this fell to Mr. Stoel
as heir. lo was a young man of fair
average principles, hut uneducated.
No sooner had ho obtained possession
of his properly, than ho was surround
ed wilh parasite. JIo provod an
easy victim to these sharpers, who
went wilh him ull tho time, and he
gavo no heed to the counsels of those
who wero his host friends. The young
millionaire's head was evidently turn
ed by his good fortune, as has been
that of muny an older man who made
his "pilo in oil," and he was of the im
pression thut his money would accu
mulate too rapidly unless it waa Actu
ally thrown away, and throw it away
he tiid. Many of the stories concern
ing his career in New York and Phil
adelphia savor strongly of fiction, and
would not ho credited, wore they not
so well authenticated. Wine, wonicu,
horses, faro, and general debauchery
soon made a wreck of that princely
fortune, and in twenty months Johnny
Steel squandered two millions of dol
lars. Ho bought high priced turn outs,
and alter driving them an hour or two
gave them away ; equipped a large
minstrel troupo mid presented each
member with a diamond jiin and ring,
and kept about him besides two or
three men who were robbing him da
afW dny. lie is now filling tho hon
orable position of doorkeeper fur Skiff
and b ay lord s minstrels, tho compa
ny ho organised, and is, to uso a very
expressive but not strictly classical
phrase, completely "played out."
"It is tho samo old story. Had
company and debauchery soon caused
him to get ritl of his property. We
won't envy those who look advantage
of his inexporienco to plunder him.
The wealth thus obtained wiil bo of
no permanent benefit to its possessors.
To finish tho history we will merely
stalo that Mr. Stool is now reduced to
poverty, and is shunned by those who
fawned upon him in his day of pros
perity, lho farm is a vuluublo one,
but is at present encumbered with
debts incurred by its dissoluto owner.
If it should fall into good hands, il
would bo one of tho most productive
farms in the oil region.
"Tho wealth obtained by those who
worked so assiduously to effect Steel's
ruin, gavo littlo permanent benefit to
its possessor. Tho person most bra
eon and chiefly instrumental in bring
ing alxiut the present condition of
affairs, was the notorious Seth Slocum,
who hung around this city several
weeks last summer. Ho was worth
at ono timo orer $100,000, which he
had ''raptured" from Steel, and luid
aside lot a rainy day, but when the
latter' money vanished, this amount
soon took unto itself wings, and ho is
at present known among his old asso
ciates as a "dead beat." At last ac
counts Slocum was incarcerated in the
jail of a neighboring county for vari
ous breaches of the peace, and was
utinl.lo to obtain bail in the sum of
$jO0. Kxempliliratioiis these of the
old adage, "easy" come, easy go," or
the other, "fools and their money are
soon purled." "
Female ScrrRAnn Senator Wsdo,
of Ohio, ha written a letter to Miss
Susan JJ. Anthony, in which he says :
"I am now and ever have been the
advocate of equal and impsrtiul suf
frage to all citizen of the United
States who hnvo arrived at tho ago of
twenty-one years, who arc of seund
mind, and who haye not disqualified
themselves hy tho commission of any
offense, without any distinction on
account of rnco, color or sex. Every
argument that ever ha been or ever
can be adduced to prove that males
should have the right to voto applies
with equal, if not greater, force to
prove that females should possess tho
same right."
If ladio nppreciato the beauty of
their feet as they do that of their neck
and shoulders they would probably go

Edna Dean Proctor writes tho .New
York lndrpemhnt a very road able let
ter on the condition of Ireland, dating
at Limerick, and quote tljo London
Telegraph as very corroctly accounting
for tho stalo of things to be Witnessed
on every hand : j!
Clearly, something is wrung in Ire
land a fertile soil, a gifted people,
and yet tho masses aro liofrand dis
affected and degraded. Ilohj is what
a prominent English paper tho Daily
Itlegraph says of tho mati.or, in a ro
cent issue : )
"Tho soil is in great prU utitillod,
Its resources are utidcvuiopedjthSTfi-1
habitants aro beggars Itir lsyalty
thoro is treason, for tranquility, insur
rection from tho country thole is
one long Exodus it is tho Egy)t of
its people, the Atlantic is its Jorton,
and America ils Cunaan. For flat
result we English aro mainly respon
sible. Wo have us O'Connell un-d
to say, with u truth, which his stuf
fing critics will some day have to ro-!
ognizo misgoverned the country for1
boven hundred years; there are "scv-1
en centuries" of wrong to redress.
Wecouqucrod the island by force of
arms, and throughout tho long period
ol our mastory we have had to hold
it by similar means, because to a ma
terial we have not added a moral con
quest. Ireland is tho despised and
distrustod member of tho United
Kingdom ; under the form ol fraterni
ty, tier's is the treatment of an alien.
Once in twenty years, perhaps, it
sees the luce of royalty, and at other
times it is graced by a sham court
a court without splendor, without
dignity, withotitpowor; a court which
can make itself ridiculed, but can not
inspire affection nor win respect. To
English or to Scotch that might seem
a small matter; but to an ardent, en
thusiastic race, liko the Irish, it hus
no slight importance. They must be
either loyal or seditious; they must
lovo the crown or hute it; audit would
be the sheerest affectation to ignore
lho feeling wilh which they regard
tho throne. They do not like to sec
their country treated as a dcendci)
cy, which is to be ruled, and dragoon
ed, and policed into tho most approv
ed English nhupo ; but which is to ho
trusted neither by Parliament nor
Crown. Especially do they resent
such treatment when Ihcy see that it
forms a part of a general system ; whon
to coercion and ubsciilccism is added
un alien church.. All the sophistry
in tho worTJVill not blind tliom to
tho fact that they are cursrd with tho
most a I is u rd and inquilous ecclesiasti
cal institution which the perverted
ingenuity of man ever devised. U
surping ihe privileges of a national
establishment it is lho church ol a
small minority. Counting among its
adherents the richest classes in the
island, it is nevertheless richly endow
ed, while the national priesthood hus
no endowment at all.
Profoundly and oslontutiously a
missionary church, it is detested
with all tho strength of funutioism by
the people whom il seeks to convert.
That is ono mighty cause of . discon
tent; lho land laws furnish unother.
Alike in his love fur his priest and
his love fur his land, lho Inch cotter
has boon thwarted by our determina
tion to rulo him alter our own fash
ion. His creed we ijugrado by tho el
evalioii of a hostile church, and him
sel wo make a stranger on the soil he
firmly believes to bo his own. From
tho fields which wero owned and till
ed ly his fathers, and which ho loves
with a fervor that only a Colt can un
derstand, ho find himself ousted be
cause ho has to wage an unequal fight
with a lundlord to whom the law has
given a crushing power. Ho has no
inducement to improve Jos holding,
because to do so ia to entail a certain,
perhaps a ruinous, riso of rent. He
lias no temptation to exert himself,
since he has no security that his ten
ancy will last beyond tho noxt settle
ment day. Too often he sows with
tho hitler consciousness lhal another
will reap. Too often his is tho worst
of all positions, in which to rise is im
possible, since burdened with a rent he
cannot pay, he knows thut even
stroke of work ho does beyond what
is required for the satisfaction ol his
immediate want will enrich none but
the lundlord. So, of course, ho docs
as little as ho can, and ho finds the
penally first eviction, and then ex
patriation. Si.Rioirs Mistake. Wo have the
particulars of a very singular occur
ence which took plaeo in Muscoutah
last Sunday. Several yomg ladies
called in the house of a neighbor, on
their way from church, und whilo
there some of the party proposed they
should drink soma tidcr from a jug
which stood upon a shelf near iy.
Unfortunately theio were two jugs
similar in size and nppouranco, stand
ing together, ono of them coutuinintr
cider, tho othor a strong solution ol i
highly concentrated lye I and out of
the latterlwo glasses were poured, ono
of which wus taken hy a young lady
named Miss Minerva Gurrelt., daugh
ter of Mr. John Garrett, and horriblo
to relate, two mouthfuls of tho burn
ing fluid wore swallowed before she
became awaroof its nature. Scream
ing with puin und terror, she ran homo,
which was in the house adjoining,
where her mother, w ith great prosenco
of mind, at once administered to her
repeated doses of milk and lard, the
effect of which was to reloave her
stomach immediately, hy throwing'
tip tho lyol This was iollowod by
dimes of castor oil. This prompt ac
tion on the part of Mrs. Garrett will,
it is hoped, bo tho means of saving;
her daughter's life, although at lust
accounts sho was in a very critical j
slate. IhllriUti 111) Pmnrrot. i

and pondered well hy every mun who
takes a newspaper without paying
for it :
My observation enables mo to stato,
ns a fact, that publishers of newspa
pers aro more poorly rewarded thnn
any other class of men in the United
States who invest an equal amount ol
labor, capital and thought. They aro
expected to do more service for less
pay, to stand moro sponging and
"dead heading," to puff and defend
moro peoplo without foo or roward,
than any other class.
l'hey 4iredit widor and ioiigcr,.got

loss, are ofleuer tho victims of mis
placed confidence, than any other call
ing in the community. People pay a
printer's hill with much more rcluct
anco thun any other. It goes harder
with thorn to expend a dollar on a
valuublo newspaper than ten on a
uocdlcss gewgaw; yet every body avails
himself of the use of tho editor's pen
and the printer's ink.
How man professional and politi
cal reputations and fortunes have been
made and sustained by the friendly
though unroquittcd pen of the editor!1
How many embryo towns aud cities

Brutality in School.
Tho N. II. Sttii t and Union says :
"A case of brutal flogging hy a teach
er, occurred last week in tho IHstriet
School at Loudon Village, N. JL,
which comes well tip to tho Massachu
setts standard. Tho pupil's name
was Wigin, a lad about 15 years ol
age, and the bruto" who flogged him
hears lho name of Andrew Heath
Tho offence of the hoy was very trivi
al, but Jio was belabored with a white
oak weapon, somo throo or four feet
long und from an inch to an iuch and
a half in diameter at the butt. This
weapon was literally worn up ubout
tho body and limbs of the boy, maul
ing him nearly to death. His back
was covered with black-and-bluo wales
tho size of a man's finger, aud our in
formant tells us that he hus since lain
in a vory critical condition. It was
ono of the most dastard outrages ever
perpetrated in this State, and the best
retribution for the man who did it
would ho to servo him with a similar
chastisemont. Such i follow has no
business in school nor anywhero ilso
among civilized people. Scholars
should obey nil reasonable rules and
regulations of tho school, but human
beings with human souls should bo nt
the head to make and enforco thorn.
We hope this man Heath will bo com
pelled to suffer to tho full extent of
tho law, at least."

North of Indianapolis, in n little

Harrison county, in this Stato, many
years ago. At tho time they left Ken
tucky for their new home, they had a
Bwect littlo daughter, who, in the suc
ceeding years grew np to bo an ac
complished woman. Somo year or

named Davidson was sent to the vil
lage where tho Dunns resided. He
hecamo acquainted with Miss Dunn.

two months ago, when tho couple dis
appeared. The fugitive wero traced
to Indianapolis, whore all clue of their
further progress was lost. Several
day ago, a neighbor of the father of
Miss Jhinn, well acquainted with her
from childhood, happened to bo in
this city, and chanced to moot Mary
on Fourth street. Knowing the anx
iety of her aged parents to learn her
whereabouts, he managed to follow
her without himself being observed,
und trucked her to a notorious house
of assignation on West Green street,
below Twelfth, where she und hor

parted this discovery to Mr. Dunn,
who, accompanied by his son, imme
diately came on hero to recover the

succeeded in finding the poor, ruined
girl, but the false minister and false
lover, gaining wind, hy somo means,
of their presence in town, made him

Hero Von JJorcko, who was Chief
of Staff to the Confederate General J
K. B. Stuart, aud who is writing an
account of the war for Blackwood'
Magazine, thus refers to a "presenti
ment of death" which ho experienced
after tho battle of Antictam, when
another fiiht wus expected :
"I had heard much and read much
in my own German nnd elsowhere of
the presentiment of approaching death,
and had often spoculutcd upon the
matter, its veritj, and tho mental and
physical conditions that miht super
induce it, ie ; but this morning I was
taken hold of, rather than oppressed,
by tho conviction that I should be kill
ed before night in tho coming buttle,
and I should have rcgurded any one
as a profaiio sceptic who had tried to
tirguo mo out of it, and prove tho foro
boding nonsensical upon philosophical
principles. Whether tho famished
stato of rny body, or the excitements
of tho last two days acting on my
hrain, had wrought tho presentiment
in tho mind, it is no; worth whilo to
consider; certain il is thut I made the
most mournful entry in my notebook,
at which I cannot now look without
laughing, and which is too absurd to
be repeated hero. I only revert to
tho fart to show thut whilo in some
instances presentiments of death are
afterward verified, iu others that we
do not hear of, probably the greater
number, they have to subsequent re
alization." The Lit I Ir t'up of Ttars.
Tho following beautiful German

Stories:" It relates that a mother
who had lost a darling little daughter,
sorrowed day and night for her, as
one without hope, and that for three
days and three nights sho neither ato
nor drank anything, but wept iu the
bitterness of her soul. The third
night, as she thus sal ovcrcomo wilh
suffering, in tho place where her child
had died, her eves bathed in tears, and
j faint from grief, the door softly open
ed, and the mother started, lor before
her stood her departed child. It had
become a heavenly angel, and smiled
sweetly as innocence, and was beauti
ful liko tho blessed. Il hud in its
hand a little cup thut was almost run
ning over, so full it was. And the
child spoko: "Oh! dearest mother,
weep no moro for mo ; tho angel of
tuotirnuiir has oolloclod in t.us htlle
cup the tears which you have bhed
forme. If for me you shed hut one
lour more, it will overflow, I shall
have no more rest in the grave, and
no joy in heaven. Therefore, O, dear
est mother weep no more for your
child, for it is well aud happy, and
angels are its companions !" 1 1 then
vanished. Tho mother shed no more
tears, that she might not disturb her
child's joy in heaven.
