I listont-d to you then, and, by the
Eternal, yoa shall listen to me now !
Io you remember those days f
There was a war. You, with your
oily tongue, helped bring it about. It
was in oio of a war than you thought
it would bo. You were a coward, a
great big coward. Don't look ugly,
lor I don't scare worth a cent 1 And
you were afraid to go to war. You
mado long speeches about saving the
Uiiiun, protecting tho Constitution,
honoring the laws, and helping the
poor man.
You said tho war was to restore the
country to peaco and prosperity.
Yoa said tho object ot the war was
not to coerce Stutes, nor to deprive
anv people of liberty.
You said those who would not fight
were cowards. I was no coward, Mr.
Bondholder, so I wont to war. You
wcro u coward you daro not go, bo
you hired me to go. I took your
money and went. And, now, when I
liuvo returned, I find that I owo you
more than you gave me, and that 1
must now work to pay myself for
being shot at, and to pay you .big
interest on tho money you let me have.
And I find that you are exempt
from taxation, that you hold the
wealth of the nation in your pockets,
and that I am your slave.
In ahort, Mr. Bondholder, you are
a coward, a cheat, a swindler, a tyrant,
a robber, a great bloated aristocrat.
When the war came on I was a voor
but honest man. I knew but littlo of
your tricks and financial plant. I
had a wife and 1 loved her very dear
ly. She wore no silks, for I could not
buy them. Wo had no grand home
as you now bavo. ..We drank milk
you drink wine and I pny for it. Our
homo was a poor man's Lome, but
was a very happy ono.
Do you know, Mr. Bondholder, how
you whined and begged of mo to go
to war? You said the country was
in danger. You promised to cure for
my family, and to look out for my
interests, if I would go and fight for
you. lou promised well, you did,
and you lied to me all the while.
While I was fighting you wcro specu
lating. I bade my wife good bye,
and went to war. My son went to
war.

to go to war, and let you look out for

It was when you trembled and shook
like an aspen leuf, lest the draft snatch
you away from the place where you
could rob and steal
When I fought for your interests
and my interests alike. You looked
only for your own interests. You
played it well, you controlled legisla
tion nicely.
And now, I'll look after my own
interests.. All you worked for during
tho war was to make money. That
was your great aim. Now, you are
again in danger, you tremble, and no
one will help you. Doos that little
boy look as if he would be a willing
slavo or the tool his father and grand
father have been ?
IIo will look out for his interosts :
I will look out for E-.y interests, and
as the object of government as Jaco
bins manage it is to make money, I'll
follow suit and seek relief Irom your
great Bondholding swindlers in Iirpu
diation. The other day the rare instance of
a burial thirty years after death oc
curred at Berlin. The dead who lin
gered so long above ground is lla
chael Levin, the celebrated beauty,
author and wit, tho wile of the late
Herrin Von Varnhagen, well known
as a Prussian diplomatist and writer
of contemporary history. Having a
mortal tear of being buried alive, the
lady ordered in her testament that
the upper part of the coffin should bo
mado with a glass window, the coffin
constantly watched for a month after
death and deposited in a special hall
for a poriod of thirty years. All of
which was duly carried out.
Old Madame Rothschild, mother of
the mighty capitalists, attained the
ago of ninety eight j her wit, which
was remarkable, and her intellectual
faculties, which were of no common
order, were preserved to the end. In
her last illnesB, when surrounded by
her family, her physician being pres
ent, sho said in a suppliaut lone to
the latter, "Dear doctor, try to do
something for me." "Madame, what
can 1 dot I can't make you young
again." "No, doctor, I don't want to
be young again, but I want to contin
ue to grow old."

The "fast" trait of tho Yankee char-
acter was touchingly developed re
cently in this wise: A loving father
of a dutiful son died in ono of our
Western cities, and his body wiis
brought Last for interment. 1 he
son, speaking of tho deceased parent,
remarked, "Father died at 11 o'clock
a m.; I had his body embalmed, fu
neral Bervices at the house, and was
in the cars, bomoward bound, before
four o'clock p. in., with the body I"
On the whole, that was very fair time
Just So. The following pretty
clearly illustrates tho position of the
business man who does lot advertise:
"Why don't you deal with me V
said a close-fisted tradesman to a friend
the other day.
The reply was characteristic.
"You have never invited mo, air. I
have looked all through the Republi
can for an invitation in the shape of
an advertisement, and found none.
I never go where I am not invited "
"Madam." aaid a husband to hisyonng
wife, m a little altercation which will
spring up in the best regulated famil
ies, "when a man and his wife have
quarrelled, and each considers the
other at fault, which of the two ought
to advance towards a reconciliation V
"The best naturod and wisest of the
two," said the wifo, putting op her
mouth for a kiss, which was given
with unction. Sho was the conqueror.
A romantic young man in South
western Missouri, has committed sui
cide in a manner to excite the envy of
a Parisian, lie pnt himself at an an
gle of a "Virginia rait fence," and
using an axehclve as a lever ho raised
the fence, put his head under it and
caused his neck to bo broken by tho
falling weight ol fence timber.
The fullowingconversation occurred
between a graceless boy and bis teach
er: "What docs your father do when
he sits at the table?" "He asks for
the brandy bot'.lc." "I don't mean
that. We'll, then, what does your
mother do when you ait down at the
table ?" "She says she will wring
our necks if we spill any grease on
the floor."

" What makes you so late to-night,
Tracy V
Frank Tracy laughed and reddened
a little as his room mate, Howard
Leigh, carelessly put the question.
"Blushing, eh f" pursued tho latter
with a spico of mischievous malice in
his voice, "then of course I am to
conclude that you have been in the
charming society of someyoung lady."
"Your guess is partly right," aaid
Tracy, lightly, "but the lady is a very
little lady. To toll you tho truth, I
have been spending the evening at
Mrs. Walton's, and playing with that
charming baby of hers. I never saw
such a little Hebe in my life. Why,
1 could nave sat tor hours with that
baby on my knoe."
"Then 1 am to conclude that she
neither. chewed your cravat ends nor
jerked at your watch chain, to lay
noining oi crying.
"Sot a bit of it. She's tho most
ferfect littlo piece of flesh and blood
ever saw in my life ; it I thought
she would grow up half as pretty as
she is now, upon my lifo I'd wait for
her."
"And what would Lconore Warren
say r
"Ah, what inJcod! I'm glad you've
recalled me to loyalty, though cer
tainly Lconore .can't very well be
jealous of my tiny flirtations with
Mrs. Mutton s pretty baby. Heigho,
I sonic-times think I've made a mis
lake in engaging myself to Leon ore
Warren. She is as beautiful as an
angel, and yet somehow we don't
seem to bo congenial."
"Kather late to think of that, I
should imagine, when the wedding
day is fixed, and passago taken in the
European steamer for tho wedding
tour. By tho way, Frank, how long
shall you remain in Kuropof"
"I can't say, some years I believe,
Leonoro thinks a residence in Paris
will bo delightful. I don't agree with
her, but brides, you know, aro priv
ileged to havo their own way. I'll
tell you what, Howard, tho prettiest
pink coral I can find in Naples shall
be sent to hang around tho ivory
neck of Mrs. Walton'e baby.'1
"Frank, how fond you are of chil
dren !''
"Y'on'ro wrong there, my boy 1
am not fond of children, generally
speaking, but I don't know who could
help loving that littlo brown eyed
seraph."
Frank took np the newspaper as he
spoke, and the conversation gradually
merged into the all-entrancing subject
of politics, fjreign and domestic.
Twenty year have ebbed and flow
ed in the broad channel of time, and
Mr. nnd Mrs. Tracy had just taken
possession of their elegant home, after
a long residence abroad. It was eve
ning. The gilded clock on the mantel
pointed to tho hour of seven, the lire
burned clearly in the ornamented
grate, and the flowers in tho several
vases on either side of tho chimney,
piece were scarcely brighter in their
hues than the pictured blossoms on the
superb velvet carpet. Frank Tracy,
who had changed from a handsome
youth into a tall, stalely man of about
lorty, stood thoughtfully beforo the
fire, while his languid, faded looking
wife, reclined on a satin sofa in the
lustrous sliino of the glowing chande
liers. There was only one guctt pres
ent to break the monotony of the
conjugal leto-a-teto, and ho was our
old acquaintance, Howard Loigh.
"I do wish, Frank, you wouldn't
keep drumming with your fingers on
that mantle, it makes me so nervous,
but of course you do not care for that,"
exclaimed Mrs. Tracy, petulantly.
"I beg your pardon, my love ; I
was not awaro that I was annoying
you."
"Why don't the sorvant bring up
the chocolate f pursued Mrs. Tracy,
elevating her eyebrows.
"Shall I ring and inquire f"
"So, it isti't worth while. If we
had only remained in la belle Iirif,
wh jre tho servants understand their
business."
"Then you preferred Paris as a
residence, ' said Leigh.
"O, by all means, but Frank never
could be contented there. It is the
moft absurd whim of his. returning
to America !"
"Yon forget, Leonore," said Frank
somewhat gravely, "that America is
home '"
Mrs. Tracy tossed hor head and
took refuge in a bottle of smelling
salts. Iler husband turned carelessly
to Leigh and resumed the conversa
tion that her petulance had disturbed.
"I haven't asked yet whether my
old acquaintances, the Walto.i's, are
living or dead. You have not forgot
ten my penchant for tho beautiful
baby."
"Oh, the Walton's disappeared long
ago from the current of New York
lite. Ho failed, or something blew
his brains out, I believe. Sho died of
a broken heart. La Utile was sent, I
understood, to an orphan asylum,
whero she has already sprouted up
into a gawky, red-haired woman."
Tracy was silent a moment, com
menting upon tho sad facility with
which people slip from tho cares and
memories of their friends in the whirl
of largo ci'ics.
All at once the door was thrown
open, and two or three rosy littlo
children bounded into tho room, with
long, shining curls hanging on their
white shoulders, and ryes all in a
sparkle with infantine merriment
"Don't come near rnn, yon noisy
little monsters!" lisped Loonoro, waiv
ing thorn away with hor snowy, jew
eled hand ; "you'll crush my silks and
laces ruinously I"

CLEARFIELD, PA., THURSDAY, OCT. 10, 1807. NEW
around his nock. Those children were
the sunshine of his life; ho endured
his wife but he idoliced his children.
"Poor Tracy, it's plain to see that
he is not happy," aaid Leigh, that
evening, as he was taking his ease
within his coiy home circle. "That
wife of his is enough to drive a man
distracted. I wonder he don't com
mit auieido !"
And bo some days afterwards, when
the sudden death of Mrs. Tracy was
announoed in the newspapers ail
ment, diseaso of the heart his first
thought was ,
"What a lucky thing for Frank."
It was scarcely a vear after Mrs.
Tracy's decease, and tlie widower was
silting alone in his study, whon How
ard Leigh was announced.
"Well,, my dear friend," was his
smiling salutation, "what news do
yoa bring me lr -
"Capital news!" aaid Leigh. "Do
you know, I've just engBged a splen
did governess for your children."
"I am heartily glad of it; the littlo
rebels are getting quite beyond my
management. They need some gen
tle, affectionate female influence."
"And they will have it. This is
one of the Gnost girls I've seen for a
long time; she has been teaching in
an academy, but thinks she would
prefer a situation in somo private fam
ily. She is all grace and gentlo dig
nity a jewel of a governess !"
" am delighted at your success.
When will she come to take charge of
my children f
"This evening. But I haven't told
you the strangest coincidence of all.
Who do you suppose she is f"
"I'm sure I cannot imagine."
"Her name is Agnes Walton, sho is
the same whom you took such a fancy
to in tho days of her babyhood. 1
can tell you she don't know you were
an old beau of hers, else she would
shrink from assuming this responsible
situation in your family."
"Nonsense," said Tracy, half laugh
ing, half embarrassed. "But I am
sorry she is reduced to tho wretched
lifo of a governesa."
Nothing more was said on tho sub
ject, and several times that afternoon
it recurred to frank Iracys mind.
Ho wisheii he could see her.
The gas had been lighted, however,
nnd the little girls were safely tucked
up in bod, alter having said their
prayers on "papa's" knees, betoro the
new governess was announced.
"Miss Walton, pray be seated."
Ho saw at the first glance that the
pretty baby had grown into an ex
quisitely lovely girl of twenty-two,
with solt, tender eyes like a Madonna,
and sad quivering lips. Poor Agnes
she had been so in uch accustoniod
to rebuffs and cold ' neglect at the
hands of tho world, that Mr. Tracy's
chivalric politeness atVeeicd her nearly
to tears. Ho noticed it, ho observed
the delicate, shy refinement, and the
timid glances from beneath her lushes.
Frank Tracy was a grout physiogno
mist, and drow his own inferences
from those things. After a few gentle
questions, he asked :
"But, Miss Walton, why did you
leave tho Academy 1"
"Tne principal was harsh and un
kind to mo, and tho place was noisy.
O, sir, if you knew how I bavo hun
gered and thirsted for a quiet home!"
"My dear Miss Walton," he said,
smiling, "I commissioned my friend
Leigh to find a governess for me, but
I am much more in need of a wife.
I think you would suit me in that
capacity. Will you accept of the
home as a permanent engagement,
and me as the encumbrance thereof?"
Agnes looked a moment into his
kind eyes, and placed her little hand
confidingly in his hand, and said "I
will."
And thus concluded their extremely
brief courtship. Yet whon Frank
told her how many years he had
secretly worshippod at the ahrine of
"Mrs. Walton's pretty baby," she
didn't think it so very strange after
all.
Thus it was that Frank Tracy mar
ried his beautiful second wifo, and the
little ones, instead of a governess, got
a mama, whom little Minnie confi
dently informed her sister, "she likod
a great, deal belter than the old mama
who was always afraid of having her
hair or collar disarranged, w hile new
mama liked to have her daughter hug
and kiss her."
And Howard Leigh was satisfied
that his friend had married tho right
person at last.
A member of the bar onro entered
the Court of Appeals of Now York
while a counsellor was arguing an im
portant case. "Who is that gentle
man addressing the Court?" said he,
speaking to Charles O'Connor, who
was sitting noar him. "That sir, is
Daniel Lord, Junior, and he puts on
the 'Junior' so that be may not be
mistaken for the Lord Almighty."
It may bo inferred that these two
professionals resembled neither Dam
on and Pythias, nor Jonathan and Da
vid, in their affection for each other.
A schoolmaster tells the following
good one : I was teaching in a quiet
country Tillage ; the seooud morning
of my session I had time to survey
my surrounding, and among the
scanty furniture I espied a three
legged stool. "Is this the dunce
block ?" I asked of a little girl of five.
The dark eyes sparklod, the curls
nodded assent, and the lips rippled
out, "I guess bo; the teacher always
sits on it?"

Strurltif for the Fulurr.
In all the annuls of men's doinia upon
this earth, there is no record of any
nation or race ol men who hud their
freedom thrust upon them, who ever
long enjoyed it. Only those having
energy and intelligence enough to
earn liberty, have shown themselves
capable for any length of time of
maintaining liberty. A race which
patiently submits to bondage, never
rightly use their freedom. Through
f, ui.fl ....lion aft'.. ..I l.wn..l. I
and blank desnair do 'races , -row u

to tho high estate of freemen. All
reason and all history confirm the
truth of these propositions. In more
quiet times, when the minds of men
are free from excitement, they would
be regarded as bo self evident as
scarcely to need enunciation.
At tho ISouih are four in illion'Afri
eans, a race, which loll to itself, has
always and only existed as barbarians,
and among civilised tuitions, only in
a state of tho most servile bondage ;
with us, from the first settlement of
the country, they havo occupied this
last position. Never in all this lapse
of years have they made even the
shadow cf an effort to obtain their
freedom. They have never been agi
tated for it, as did their pretended
friends at t1in north. Indood, we think
we aro not going too far, when wo say
thev never as a race desired it.
When their masters wore engaged
in a most dcepcrate war, os has been
alleged, to perpetuato their bondage,
they, tho Africans, made not the
slightest effort to throw of tho yoke.
During the four years of our late war,
their is no reason to suppose that the
negroca mado even an attempt a', in
surrection in any part of the South.
Quietly they waited upon and assisted
their masters, and as the country, or
any part of it, was overrun by the
Federal troops, they just as impassive
ly ailed upon and trusted in the new
comers. No ono thing did they do or
attempt to do, of and by themselves.
Yet to this race, whoyesterday were
trampled slaves, so degraded that they
accepted the liberty thrust upon them
with as little apparent concern as they
endured their bondage ; the lladicals
of the North wish to entrust, not only
the liberties, but tho material inter
ests of a great, rich and important
section of tho country. Not only this,
they seek to entrust to them, equally
with the intelligent, enterprising and
educated anglosaxon, tho contracts
of the government of this great repub
lic the bopo of tho world. And with
this they, the Uadiruls, wish to dis
franchise and exclude from power and
influence the ablest and wisest of the
whites. All this, it is said, is needed,
aa "security for tho future." We beg
leave to ask : Is ignorance, self indul
gence and degradation in tho govern
ing class, the best guarantee we can
have liir the perpetuity ofonr Institn
lions? Is intelligence and high toned
honor "dangcivus to the rej ublic ? If
so, tbeso Bamo Hauiculs, a lew years
ago, when they called themselves
Know Nothings which they were
wcro greatly at fault. They then
taught that our institutions were in
dungcr lrom tho ignorance of foreign
ers that tho immigrants from the
most enlightened nations of the world,
should live with us twenty-ono years
beforo they could be safely entrusted
with tho elective franchise. In this
Mate they declared ny law, mat no
native or foreign born citizen was
tit to vote unless he could read and
write. Yet, to-day, these same Know
x. . . ' i .i . i
Nothings woulddisfranch.se that das.,
of men who, as they allege, have for ,
seventy years controlled the policy of ,
tho best governed country in the i
world, and enfranchise a race of black (
besotted slaves hitherto found incapa-
We of organising any government but
that of King Cannibal.
"Security for the future !" We
had supposed that tho security of a
freo republic rested upon tho intelli-!
gence and manliness of tho people j
having a controlling influence in its
affa rs. Not so think the leaders of the, ,
. . . . .
great party of progress and social re
form. They find tho only guarantee
for safety in tho fuluro in giving the
control of ono fourth of tho republic,
to the ignorant, aimless and degraded
blacks, a race, incapable of working
out their own liberties aro to be en
trusted with the guardianship of ours.
".Security for the future !" The only
security for tho fuluro-ol'onr liberties,
worth having, is in tho high order of
manhood we may becapablo of devel
oping. Not in tho masculine suffrage
we are foolish enough to confer. Con
stitutional amendments amount to
