I em lyinjr, mortels, dvin,
Wark ! the old year lowly fi(rhing,
An his landi ere ebbing hut.
Hying, murialt, I am dying,
wlly gNKplng, faintly sieliing,
Murmuring on the midnight blast.
Belli are knelling, slowly knelling,
Mr nxt minutes tolling," telling,
To the arehes of the night:
Put I know that on to-inurmw
They will eeane their woil of sorrow,
Peeling forth with carols light
I am fleeting, mortals, fleeting,
And eternity am greeting,
itut your rewords with me bear.
At my leaving, ege is grieving,
And fceblentM its deep eigh heaving,
That they soon will join me there.
But my outing ring no pouting
From gay youth with laughter alioutiug,
An it hails with joyou ubi'ttr,
Rovitering. greeting, weliun meeting.
Vexing my la' moment fleeting.
That vain stripling, pert "Now Year."
He is eoming with gay strummlnir,
Trumpets blowing, nttug, drumming,
In bit hulhiay array.
At my inning, just such stoning,
Feasting, fleuuling, fooling, grinning,
bid liii'te mortal! then diFpliy.
But hit ending, when he's bending
O'er the graves that Time it tending
Years as well aa living men,
Heart now gleddcit umy be saddest,
Youth the gay fit amy be maddest,
With the sorrows he may send.
Then with tokens of hearts broken.
Tears and death, and words roib ipokf-a,
He like me hi load will bear.
Burden'd with ten tbouituid mournings,
Jiuvy, hatred, blightings, worningi,
J loart i low sunk in blank deipair.
But of warnings ye are heedless,
And the turners will be needle.,
King and sbniit aa ye may d.
As yc hare done with my lathers
And me, whom Time with them now gaihen,

Then thont away, ye foolinb people.

Suiidnj-, tho 6th inst., wits a crcnt
tiny timong tho 6cn:iti(in clergy in
Jew York, BcHton. Wanliit'Klon and
other cities. Tho liichiirdttrin-JIcKur-
land murder in New York gave them
a rare toxt. Tho followintr, is a aynop.
si of the dini-ourtio delivered hy Jiov.
I'r. I'ullmun. in the Sixth Umveraalint
Chiiroh, Xew York. Tiio reporter of
ins Jieraia nays ;
"At tho Church of our Saviour, in
Thirty-flflh street, between Fiiib and
Sixth avenues, tlie Rev. Jnines .M.
rullman preached a aernion on the
all absorbing topiti of tho Kichardn
McFurlanJ tragedy duritij; tho morn,
ing servico. Bevauso of the unprnpi.
tious weather few were prenent. The
preacher selected his text from Daniel
v., 5: "Ir. tho sumo hourcamo forth
finders ol a man's hand." One sub
ject, he said, has in all ajfea boon closely
vciica. iniemperanco in all its lorms,
slavery in all ils horrors and oppres
sion with all ils abuses we diicnas
openly, but tho ono abuse referred to,
which lias more evil in it than all those
combined, is kept nwny from our
school, from our churches, from our
libraries and can only forco public
recognition by a public Jtnoument.
As the Alpine traveler is led through
all the tortuous windings of tho gla
ciers he is reminded by his careful
guide to speak lowly and softly, lest
his voice, producing a concussion in
the atmosphere, will loosen the vast
mountains ol Know and ico nnd pro
cipitalc the avalarcho into tho valley
hclow, producing disorder and ruin.
Thus it is with the evil we aro consid
ering. Men may bo silent, but God
says that tho evil chull work to iho
surface. It has broken out. Iluring
the last wot-k it flashed through the
tuho of a pistol In a newspaper office
and it echoes throughout tho land.
Society is agitated, the body politio is
wounded and a clinic must be held
over tho injury. Tho wound muot be
probed ; social ideas must bo re-examined.
Just as the sound dies awnj a
clamor sets in. A man has been killed.
Whoso fault is it? Answers pour in
from all quarters. But twan voices
rench 03 clearly. Ona justifies the
killed as a martyr and reprobates tbe
assassin; tho other proclaims the
deeper guilt of tho (lend. But nil
cbooso sides iiibtinclively. 1 will di
vide the public voice into three classes:
"First, the pcrsonul friends and ad
mirers of the deceased, of w hom there
oro innny. Second, thoso who believe
him 10 ho innocent of the crimes
chnricil. Thir''i thoso who do not
ti.inU that the deceased
a terrible retribution. J
"ln tho first ease personal feeling
for a friend in suffering is natural, j
In tho second class I cnumcrato thej
ministers. Their acts nnd eulogies
wero nothing but apologies. An un -
uenoiieui excuse iicnaucu ineirsenu-,
meats and they exhibited a feeling '
that there was something to atone for. j
And I believe that something tlocs 1
need to bo explained that something
does need defence. By acting us they j
nave a stain casiuiien upon tnemseives
and their profession. The third class
acts upon tho advanced class, who
proclaim advanced principles and re
form. Tlieso men sometimes stop at
nothing; they invndo the marriage
tic. But I won't speak of a lunatic
with respect, not tif a man who ad
vances tho idea that an old ordinance
must be reformed because it is an old
ordinance, and who goes for all things
new nnd against all things old. These
phases of opinion swell lliu black cur
rent of damnation running through
the substratum of New York society.
And here conies up that class of men
of strong minds who tell Its the sanc
tity of the marriage stnto is foolish.
How would society be if wo heeded
their advico ? But I will not artrue
with a mnd do When onn attacks
the holiest of ail Institutions ho cannot
1,8 argued with except with the same
logio as that of the lust teu days. Id ,
D
PRINCIPLES
CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22,
it wo see a Vieo Fresitlent giving his
name to tho sympathy of the deceased.
The tact is significant. There is still
another class tho social order class.
I lay down tho proposition that the
worst foo to social order is tho libor
tino, und not thu assassin. Human
lifo lias ovor been held tho most sacred
of cvory thing on earth. I stand hero
toeontrovort that view. Of all beings
the deliberate libertine is tho vilest.
Ho enters happy homes, creeps like
a snake, and ekulkg liko a fox into
tho domestic rolations. Ho succeeds.
What is the consequence? Tho wife
is driven from her homo, loses hor self
respect, follows tho streot and closes
hor infamous career in a potter's field.
Hud ho been kiliod would the result
havo been worse? The story of nil
family wrongs shows that wo are liv-
ing wrongly in the cities. We dwell
in boarding bouses, we introduce men
who, fair without, aro rotten within,
and they spread and disseminato the
poison of a buncful wrong. Tho aver
age sentiment of man is that if he gets
hurt no one cares, for be is a social
outlaw. Thouirh I don't sav that the
killing of the man whose corpse is now
before the public eye was rinht, wo all
say that it 'iras a natural justice which
overtook him. Tho intTiionca of un
bridled jmsrtion, of literature, renders
n '.vnrrprlf libra thiu .w.iKlo
Our rock should be tho futility relation
ordained of God.
"The reverend gentleman closed his
discourse, which was delivered in a
very positive and emphatic manner,
by reasserting, by quotation, tho invio
lability of homo happiness. There
wua no manifestation during his thi
quent declarations that murder was
inferior in degree to seduction, save in
the departure of one gentleman from
tho middle of the congregation in high
dudgeon."
Tho aahington correspondent of
tho Now York Jlernlil says :
"Bcv. l")r Collier, of Chicago, preach
ed in the Unitarian church on tho sub
ject of hypocrisy. In the course of his
remarks lie alluded to the ltichartlson
FcFarland affair, and took occasion
to denounce the conduct of Henry
Ward Beecherand O. B. Frothingbiim.
Referring to Vice President Colfax,
ho said that the second officer of the
govorninent had shown his hypocrisy
by going to I'tah to denouueo the
Mormons, and then coing to ew
York to applaud spirittiul adultery and
polygamy. The conduct of tho Vice
President was inexcusable. Ho mast
havo been awnro of tho facts in the
cuse of Mrs. McFurland and Mr. Rich
ardson, and yet ho cmld send tele
grams condoling with Iho latter in the
effects of his crimo and stund by hie
death-bed in agony al bis decease. It
was timo tho people, to whom Mr.
Colfax is responsible, took nolico of
these facts and administered to him
tho proper rebuke. Among tho audit
ors at this discourse were Secretary
Boutwcll and Attorney General Hoar,
together with a largo number of Mem
bers and Senators."
A Hash Promise.
The Tortlnnd Argus tells the follow
ing story of a young ludy who is a
pupil atone of tho schools in that city,
and who has already, it seems, bealen
her father at mathematics.
Sho modestly proposed that if her
father would givo her only ono cent
on one day, and doublo the amount
on each successive day for jnst onej
n.uui,i.ioimiu piengo nerseu never I
to ask of him another cent of money
as long as sho lived. Paterfamilias,
not slopping to run over the figures
in his head, una not supposing it would!
amount to a large sum, was elad to
accept tho offer nt onto, thinking it
also a favorable opportunity to include
a possible marriage dowry in the fu
ture. At tho twetity fii'lh day he
became grently alarmed, lest if lie
complied with his own acceptance he
might ho obliged to lie "dot-lured u
bankrupt on his own petition."
lint at Ihe thirtieth day tho young
. . . - . . . . . . . i
girl demanded only the pretty sum t.l
8.,3US,7U!.ll. Tho astonished mor-
chant was only too happy lo cancel
tho claim hy advancing a handsome
cash payment for his folly in allowing
himself to givo a bond or Ins word
ho considered as good ns a bond
without noticing tho consideration
therein expressed, and by promising
to return to the old custom of advanc
ing nmaller sums daily untieotherwisc
ordered.
If the old gentleman had fulfilled
his promise, his gushing daughter
would havo hud, upon tho receipt of
the thirty first payment, the snug lil
tle sum of $l(i,7.'i7i41Si.24.
Si'NsiilNr. Wo advise every body to

An Amusing Railway Incident.
The managers of railroads running
west from Chicago pretty rigidly
enforce a rule excluding from certain
reserved cars all gent lemon traveling
without ladies. As I do not smoke, 1
avoided tho smoking cars; and as tho
ladies' car was sometimes more soled
and always more comfortable than tho
other cars, I tried various expedients
to smuggle myself in. If 1 saw a
lady about to untor tho car alone, I
followed closely, hoping thus to dude
the vigilance of the brakemun, who
generally acted as door-keeper. But
tho car Cerberus is pretty well up o
all sit.,h dodges, iind I did not itlway

young couple, evidently just married,
and (.tuning on a linJal tour, about
to enter the car, L followed closely,
but was slopped by tho door keeper,
who called out:
. "How many gentlemen aro with
this lady?"
I have always noticed that young
newly-mari ied people are very fond of
saying "my husband'' and "my wile;"
they aro now terms which sound
pleasantly to the oars of those who
utter them ; so in answer to the per
emptory inquiry of the door keeper,
tbe bridegroom promptly answered."
"1 am this lady's huiband."
"And 1 guess you can see by the
resemblance between the lady and
myself," said I to Cerberus, '"that 1
am her father."
The astonished husband and the
blushing bride were too much "taken
back" lo deny their newly discovered
parent, but the brakemun suid, as lie
permitted the young couple to pass
into the car :
"Wo can't pass all cecation with
one Uily."
"I hope you will not tlcprivo me of
tho company ol my child during the
litllo tune wo can remain togotlior, J
said with a demure countenance. Tho
hrakeman evidently sympathized with
tho fond "parent" whoso feelings were
sufficiently lacerated at losing his
daughter through her finding a hus
band, and 1 wus permitted lo pass. I
immediately apologized to the young
bride and hor husband, and loldthcm
who I was, and my reasons for the
assumed paternity, and I Ley enjoyed
iho joke so hinrtily that they culled
mo "father" during the entire journey

thus literally ringing a now change on

At another timcduring my western
lecturing trip, I was following closely
in tho wake ol a lady who was enter
ing tho fuvorito car, when tho brake
man exclaimed :
"You can't go in there, sir!"
"I rather guess I can go in with a
lady," said I, pointing to the one who
had just entered.
'.Not with that lady, old fellow;
fr I happen to know her, and that is
more than you do; wo nro up to all

I .ftw indeed that it was "no go,"
Bnd that I must try something elso.

A Bit of Romance.
U he .New York Sun tolls n sad and
romantic incident of tho career of the
benefactor whose death two homis
phores are mournine :
A number of years ago, when Mr.
Peabody was just entering upon bis
career ol success as a business man. in
Baltimore, he met by chanco, in the
street, a poor girl who was but a
child, but whose pleasing fuce and
gentle manner attracted his notice
luoHtioning her as to her parentage
and Biirroundingn, ho lonnd her in
every way worthy hia regard, and a
fit subject for his benefaction. Hoot
onco adopteil hor as his ward, and
gave her an education. As sho od
vanced in ngo, her charms of person
as well as the brightness of her intel
lect won the affection ot her benefac
tor. Through this relationship, he
had amplo opportunity of watching
her progress, and day by day her hold
upon his affections grew stronger. At
length, ns the ward bloomed into
womanhood, though much her senior
in yoars, Mr. Peabody offered her his
bund untl fortune. Gratefully appre
ciating bis generosity, and acknowl
edging her attachment for him as
almost a futher, sho with great feeling
confessed that honor compelled her to
decline tho nceeptanco of this his
greatest act of generosity, informing
her suitor that her afleetions had been
given to another, aclork in the employ
of her benefactor.
Though sadly disappointed and
grievously shocked, the philanthropist
sent for his clerk, and learning from
him that the engagement had been of
long duration, .Mr. rcahody at once
established his successful rival In busi
ness, and soon afler gave his benedic
tion upon tho marriage of his ward.
This, it is suid, was the first blow his
heart received, and it is possiblo that
from this episode came the inspiration
that mado tho fnturo of Mr. Peabody
so universally distinguished, and has
rendered his name famous ns the
friend of his race.
An Astonishod Court.
A fetr days ngo, gays tho New Or
leans Fitatjunc, an old lady and a
young ono found themselves in Court,
charged with disturbing tho peace.
Tho officer's statement was clearly
given, and certainly disclosed an equal
culpability in both. It was evident,
however, that t he Court inclined a fa
vorable judgment lo theyoungcst.and
the scales ot jutico were rapidly tip-
pi"? in her favor
"Why did yon ubiiso fhis youns la

old ono.
I hnd a right to!" was tho calm
reply.
"Wlint was sho doing?"
"Keeping company with a very im
proper character."
"An J what is that to you ?"
"She's my daughter."
"Oh, indeed land you think that
person was nn improper character?"
"I do, sir!"
"Do you know who ho was?'1
"I don't know his numo. I've seen
him frequently prowling around uflcr
night."
And then.ns if actuated by a sudden
impulse, tho old lady adjusted her
spectacles, peered cautiously at the
Court from tinder her great sun bon
net, and then exclaimed :
"Good lack ! good lack ! Why you
aro t he man !"
"Mo ! mo !" exclaimed iho astonish
ed Court. "Mo, woman ! did you say
me ?"
Again the apectnclcs wero adjusted,
and the curious gnzo prolonged, while
tho old ludy nodded her hoad at Inter
vals, j
"Yes, yes, it's tho same ugly face.'
I'm sure of it ; but I'll forgive you
this time I'll forgive you." And the
old lady hobbled away, leaving tho
Court gasping with astonishment, nnd
unablo to interposu an objection to her
departure.

strangely capricious than in bestowing
all her other gifts. The mere circum

inalto much difference in a man's hap

doubtless as much genuine enjoyment
as a king. Love, to bo sure, is a bles
sing of buch inestimable value that we
aro apt lo consider it tho best of all
gifts; but even this doponds in a great
measure for its fruition upon that
primilivo boon of health.
And health how diversely is it
distributed among men ! Tho beauti
ful and beloved wire languishes with
an incurable disease, whilo the robust
washer woman sings marrily over her
tub. The prosperous landlord is laid
up with the gout in tho midst of his
luxuries, while the jolly mowers shoul

Sinco tlieso things aro so, does it
not seem strango that while so many
are striving for riches and honor and
happiness, so few wisely sock to
secure that other priceless treasure

merchant, over-eager to achieve a for
tune, contracts a dyspepsia that for-
ever hinders his digestion of it. Tho
great student imbibes with his philoso-
jmy nervous diseases melancholy,
irritability, which set at defiance all
philosophy. The pleasure-seeker ex
hausts in ruinous excesses all suscen-
tibility to pleasure. Ambition's wake
ful nights produce feverish and miser
able days. Tho statesman studios the
constitution of his country to the neg-

the saint sins with gross ignorance

The oiiginof tbe first newspaper in
oar vernacular tonguo is ascribed to
"tho wisdom of (Jueon Elizabeth and
tho prudence of Burleigh." The first
number bears date July 23, 15H8, and '
was "imprynted at London by her
highnesses printer." England was
then threatened by tbe Spanish Ar-;
manda, and the liiuflisk AUrcurie, ac
cording to I)'lsrtvli, was originated in
a wise policy "to prevent, during a
moment of general anxiety, tho dan-,
gcr of false reports, by publishing real
information."
The number of established Ameri
can publications cannot be accurately
staled, for there is scarcely a hamlet
wnicu is without lU own newspaper.
The press is the power which inniels
the circulation of political life through
out our vast domain. It detects the
seereHipring of politicat designs, and "
it summons the leaders of all parlies"
to Iho bar of public opinion. It rallies
the interests of the community around
certiain principles, and it dictates tho
creed which fuctions udopt. And here
lies the cause of complaint as to the
mischief which is brought about by
publications which may properly be
termed partisan. Their mission soems
to be, not to "prevent false reports,"
but to circulate them ; Dot to publish
"real information," but to lay before
their roaders assertions which aro
known to be untrue.
We recognize tho fact that the gov
ernment of this country is a party
government. Wherever there is free
dom there must be parly. All men.
cannot think alike on questions ofna-
vide into parlies which contend
against each other for supremacy. If
a man believes that the ascendency of
his party ia essential lo tho highest
public welfare, ho should take advan
tage of every honorable means to
strengthen thot organization. But
the tendency of parly is to produce
party spirit a spirit w hich contends
for victory regardless of any stratagem
by which it may be won. And hence
the editor of a partisan sheet is not
uncommonly led to sacrifice truth by
altering ordistortingfucts if falsehood
is more likely to prevail ; to make an
open and coarseappeal to tho passions
of tho populaeo, and, habitually abun-.
doning the principles of political sci
ence, to assail the character of individ
uals, to track them into private life,
and disclose all their weakness and
errors. Sketches must be published,
in which the previous life ol' each can
didato is industriously ransacked to
find something to praise or something
to vilify. The editor must bo prepar
ed with arguments, sophistry, inuondo,
sarcasm ; with ridicule, prediction,
threats, promises, or any other imple
ment of available dexterity to 'mar
shal the trusty partisans, andlcavo no
effort untriod that may aid in socut-inn -the
hoped-for victory, iience, in our
elections, what scenos of violence,
what slandor, calumny, and abuse
heaped in turn upon tho most eminent

Tho newspaper is tbe history of the
world for ono day, and its legitimate
province is the information of the lit
erary taste of the public. Those who
wield its power should endeavor to el
cvato rather than to depress the pop.
ular taste. They should aim to be in
dependent, free-spcken teuchers of po
litical truth and political duty. They
should strive to inako themselves un.
dcrstood as a body of honest conscl
ors, seeking by pen and personal in
fluence to make the people truly en
lightened on all political doctrines and
measures counselors to whom tho
people may look for fair discussion ruo
information, and sound advice. 77f

what rclnlion are tlioso children to

Third If a man marries his son's

then dies and if then one of his own
