so bad that I could fetch no wator, so

shall bo obligod to yon to fetch me a

Protection How U Iforkt.
'Protect me," is the imploring cry of
a oomionaoie, well-led, well-clad per
sonage whom, at first sight, oao would
hardly take for a beggar. "Protect
me! I own but ten thousand acres of
jand in tho world. It is my all. It
is full oCcoul ; but the Englishmen and
Nova Suotians have got coal too, and
offer to sell it cheaper than the price 1
want. Shut out this foreign coal and
firotectme, an American laborer." lie
ooks even less like a laborer than a
beggar. ,
':Vhat makes coul so dear when
the weather is so dread ful cold ? God
help us poor!" came from the chat
tering teeth of a toil-worn, care-worn
shivering woman, as sho measured
out with stinev eve a scanty fresh
supply of fuel to her waning firo.
No cry from her to the Government
for protection. No protection to
her from the greed of tho strong,
me cunning, me avaricious. "Work
for yourself. Work or starve Self-
help. Every ono for himself. If Gov
ernment gave bread or clothes or fuel
to the poor, it would demoralise them.
Take better care of the nennios vou
earn. Lav them np in tho summer for
a wintry day." Such are tho answers
she would gut if she asked for protec
tion if she turned beggar. No chance
for her to put In a replication. The
voices of tho coal-owners are mighty
to drown hers. If she could be heard
Bhe would say, "How can I lay up my
pennies when the strong arm of Gov
ernment takes them from me day bv
day, a fast as I can earn them, and
hands them over to my richer neigh-
oorsr Un every spool of thread I buy
Government lakes lrom me a penny
or two to pay over to the Woonsockct
Factory Company, so that they make
dear thread and big dividends. On ev
ery garment I wear, it takes nennios
and shillings from me wherewith to
nil the purses of tho rich men who
mako cloth and stockings and shawls
and who cannot be content with less
than fifty or one hundred por cent, in
crease of their wealth every year to
pay them for making thoir clothes for
the American laborer. When I buy
a stove or a pairof scissors, I must nay
some of my hard earned pennies to
support the wealthy iron maker. I
beg no protection to my labor and I
k none, ict us both alono mo and
tho manufacturer. As you let me
work in my humble way along as best
I can, leave him to do the samo. Give
him no part of my earnings, and lam
content .with my little share of this
worlds goods. Jfit demoralir.es so
cioly lor Government toeive the poor
food and clothes and fuel, is it not
equally demoralising for Government
to give to the rich and strong f And
when it gives to the rich by taking from
tho oomforts of the poor, is it not de
moralising society at both ends r
"Jlothcr.do give mo another blanket,
I am so cold," begs a shivering child,
of a wiuler's night, on our Northern
frontier. "I have no more, child ;
blankets are so dear, and all sorts ot
clothes so dear. John, what makos
woolen things dearer than they used
to be P
"I don't know; but they say it's
all done to protect ns poor folks. A
longitey man told ns tho other night
the Government must protect us from
tho blanket-makers in England and
and other foreign countries."
"Yes, but John, over in Cannda
they have nothing but English blankets
and you can buy
two blankets there
for what ono costs here. Tho Eng
lish blanket-makers don't seem to bo
so hard on the poor poople after nil."
"Well, I can t toll the story exactly;
but the tonguey man mado it all out
clear. I think he said, too, that wool
wouldn't grow on our sheep unless
they was purtected."
"Well, John, you don't mean that
they kiver our American sheep 'with
blankets to make their wool grow.
and that's the reason blankets are so
scarce and so dear J"
"Well, I don't know about that; but
ho mado out that tho sheep must bo
purtected to get the wool, and then
the men who mado the wool into blan
kets must be purtected; clso mo'd
have to use the cheap foreign blankets,
and then he said we'd bo worso off."
"John, don't you think tho tonguey
man was nulling somo wool over vour
eyes r If I could got two blankets in
stead of one to keep tho children warm
the sheep could do well enough with
their natural kivcring. It seems to
me that we poor folks, what don't have
ny natural kiver of wool growing on
our backs, want pnrtection more than
the sheep.
"Well, that's) just what Deacon
WollofTsavs: ho snva these prices nur-
toct us as woll as the sheep ; and you
know the Deacon subscribes a good
eal of money to tho poor."
"That's all true, John ; but then the
Deacon don't seem to get any poorer
for all he gives away ; and the Deacon
has got a great many sheep ofhisown ;
and whatever is good for his sheep
must bo good for tho Deacon's own
pocket; and they do say that ho owns
nart ol a big blanket factory down in
iihodo Island : and so, maybe, the
Deacon wrongs us poor folks out of
ten dollars and then gives us back one
dollar of it in charity; maybe, if the
poor bad chcup blanket and cheap
clothes, they wouldn't want any chari
ty. You can't make mo believe we're
any better off for having only one
blanket when, if they was cheaper wo
might bave two."

Tho Cambria freeman notices tho
death of James Ross; who died a few
days since in tho Poor House of that
county, and says that his career chal
lenges a more than common obituary
notice. In early life, some fifty year
since, deceased married a Miss Brown,
of Mifllin county, and upon the death
of his father-in-law, administered up
on bis estate. Among the papers
found wore a number of unlocated land
wurranU. With these in his posses
sion, in 18115 Mr. Boss moved to Cam
bria county, and for a timo sottled al
Munster. WhHol vre he becuma im
pressed with the idea that there was
sufficient vacant land along tho Clear
field creek, in tho northeastern por
tion of Cambria county, to fill his
warrant
Acting upon this impulse, in 1837,
and 1838, he procured Mr. Jacob Lev-
crgood, tbe then Dcptuty Surveyor of
Cambria county, to locate a large num
ber of these warrants, which were re
turned to tho Land Office and accept
ed. He afterwards removed to these
lands, took possession, built suwmills
and sold to others; and continued to
exercise ownership without molesta
tion nntil 1841.
It seemed from the sequel that these
land bad already been, appropriated
by a body of warrant known as the
Barton warrants, and that the title
had became vested in William A Bay
ard and Henry Barclay ; an ejectment
to try the title was commenced in 1844,
for the interest of Henry Barclay
Mr. Bayard having previously died.
In this action the plaintiff succeeded
and tho case went to the Supreme
Court, where the judgment was af
firmed, then an action was brought
for tho whole body, and tho title thus
litigated until about 1801, when the
last caso was finally decided. During
this period there were- some seven or
eight verdicts it was thrice in the
Supremo Court tried once in the U
S- Circuit Court, and removed to the
Supreme Court, where, however, it
was not tried.
During all this litigation, Mr. ltoss
bore liinisolt with singular constancy
Indeed, his solo existence seemed to
be centered in this land. 1 hough be
had able and eloquent counsel, he pro
cured the necessary papers, had tho
surveying done and attended to the
dolails of lh preparation in person.
lie had impressed great numbers ot
intelligent men, including even law
yers, with the feasibility of his tills,
and at ono time a jury could scarcely
have been found in Cambria county to
render a verdict against him.
An old mac when the litigation end
ed, his mind was somewhat impaired.
Poverty, too, followed, until finally be
became an inmate ot the poor house.
Yet bo never, to his dying day in
prosperity or adversity, in succos or
defeat, whether sane or insane for a
moment doubled his right to the land
which had been tho subject of litiga
tion. His expectations and their result
show the vanity of human undertak
ings. Litigating for some twenty
years the title to whole townships of
land, he died without enough lor his
grave. At the time of his death be
was in his oighticth year.
Pure, Perfect Poetrt. What is
poetry f A smile, a tear, a longing af
ter tho things of Eternity. It iives in
all created existences in man and ev
ery object that surrounds him. There
is a poetry in tho gentle influences of
love and affection, in the quiet brood -
ings of the soul over the memories of
early years, and in tho thoughts of
glory that chain our spirits to the
gates of Paradise. There is poetry
in the harmonies of nature. It glit
ters in tho wave, tho rainbow, the
lightning and the star its cadence is
heard in tho thunder and in the cata
ract tho softer tones gurglo sweetly
from tho thousand voico harps of the
wind, and rivulet, and lorest the
clouds and sky go floating over us to
tho music ot melodies and it minis
ters to Heaven from tho mountain of
tho earth, tho untrodden shrines of
the ocean.

A Lesson. A nation w hich relieves
tho oppression upon any section of its
people is always rewarded by the
happiness and gratitude of tho inhab
itants of that section. Thus, Austria
has recently restored a constitutional
government in Hungary, and the en
thusiasm and rejoicings of tho Hun
garians are unbounded. Austria has
now no more loyal and obedient sub
jects than the formerly rebellious
people of Hungary. Kindness and
generosity have subdued thorn. Can
