There comes a time when we grow old
And lito a itiniot down the sea,

Cuinos whinpering sad and chillingly j
And looks are gray .
As wioter'i dii.v,
And eyes of saddutt blue behold
The lesrcs all weary drift away.
And lips of faded eora) say,
There eomcs a time whon we grow old.
There enmei a time when joyous hearts,
Which Imped ai leaps tbo laughing main.
Are dead to all snve memory,
. pitiiinPf In tntrrlnngeon chain (
And dawn of dny

Tho moon bath into darkucsa rolled.
And by the cmlwrs wan and gray.
I bear a voice in whisper lay,
There oomei a time when we grow old.
Then eomes a time when manhood's prima
Is shrouded In the mist of years.
And bciiuty, fading like a drenm,
llath pasted awsy in silent tears
And then, how dark 1
Hut, oh, tbo spnrk,
That kindled youth to hues of gold,
Htill burns with elcar and stondy ray,
And fond affections, lingering, saj.
There eomes a time when we grow old.
There eomni a time whon laughing spring
And golden summer cease to be,
And we put on the autumn robe,
To tread tho last declivity J
Hut now tbe slope. ,

While wutches whisper through the night,

THE SPLENDOB OF THE WEST.
wltaerland snd Italy within Our Own BordersThe
Ulorles or tne Yellowstone.
From the New York Herald. .
As tho mon of enterprise and science
advanco into tbo unexplored i-ccoshcs
of our republic pioneers, road build
ers, gold ejoarelirrs ovory step brings
a new revelation of this republic's
woiillh itnd beauty. We, as a pooplo,
are regarded by tbo critics of tbo
mousy, overgrown and cabined nations
of Continontnl Etiropo as Riven to ex
aggeration. "Tho npociul intollecluul
fuiblo of tbe Americana," gays tbo
London Spectator, "is their admiration
for tho grandioBo." Yot wo cnnnol
writo the plain discoveries recorded in
tho Herald without seeming to tbe
foreign mind to indulgo in grandiose
rhetoric. Every day seems to bring
forth a now wonder, and tho timo is
coming quickly when tbo tides of
bcallb-dusiring and wonder seeking
travel will be from Europe to America.
Why, for intsanco, should we go to
Switzerland to seo tho mountains, or
to Iceland forgoysorsf Thirty yenrteJ
ago tho attraction ot America to the
foreign mind was Niagara Falls. Now
wo bavo attractions which diminish
Ningnra into an ordinary exhibition.
Tbe Yo Semite, which the nation has
made a park, tho Rocky Mountains
and their Binguhir parks, tbo canyons
of the Colorado, tho Dalles of tbe
Columbia, the giant troos, tho lake
country ol Upper Minnesota, tho
country of tho Yellowstone, with thoir
beauty, their splendor, thoir extraor
dinary and sometimes terrible mani
festations of nature, form a sories of
attractions possessed by no otbor na
tion in tho world. Whon that famous
city itom reporter, Charles Dickens,
came hero over thirty years ago, be
was takon in stato to see a Missouri
prairio. Ha made an cluborato record
of tho disappointment it caused him
and his failuro to seo anything to
compare with tbo glon of Gloncoo, in
Scotland. 1 ho tliongnt that our lull)-
ors were so ignorant of
their . own
prairio its
country as to rogard a
rarest attraction is not without humor,
and wo can woll pardon tho absonce
of any enthusiasm on the occasion of
tho stately visit, ana tho desire ot Mr.
Dickons to kill tho touiousiioss or tbe
journey hy chnmpagno and comio
songs. Hut we really had litllo more
than a prairio and some long, narrow,
muddy, uninteresting rivers to show
to the foreigner thirty years ago. Tbo
West was an unknown land to us
Tucro was nothing but "desolation"
beyond tho Mississippi ; and as to tbe
PaoiGo, tho Mexicans and Spaniards
wero in possession, and wo had not
fought our war for Texas and Califor
nia. As we have said, why go to
Switzerland to seo tbo Alps f Thcro
is no exhilaration of air or beauty of
seenory in tho Alplno regions that wo
bavo not in Colorado. Within threo
or, by onsy stages, four days Irom
Now York, tbo Iravoler finds biniBolf
stepping from a luxurious palaco car
into Denver, and from Denver sweeps
a viow that has no parallel in the
world. Mountain und peaks, with
every conceivable variety of color and
beauty, stretching lor a hundred
miles north and south,: their tops cov
cred with perpetual " snow. The
mountain parks invito him for a sum
mei 's holiday. 1 If he would fish, there
arc trout in tho streams. If ho would
bunt, thoro uru deer on tho moutitairs
and bufl'uloos on tbe plains, and no
angry Ucrgli to molest or mako ntrtitd.
II be has scion titlc'tiistcs, tbo rock I will

Iiirmatinns will speak ol tho hidden
ii'hnaof tbo curlh : tho flora, will be

Kur beyond Swiiicrlund, fur beyond
tho Tyrol, or tbo Highlands, or tbo
Lako country, or Norway, Colorado
stands to day inviting tho tired citi
zen to oome and find rust and health
in tbo midsummer niohtlis. ' ' '
Colorado Is scarcely n now story,
anJ wo make this allusion as ft bint to
those of our readers who aro wonder
ing whore to go in the) summer. 'Rut
hero wo htive really a now story, told
to us by General Phil. Sheridan, who
sent out an expedition to soo, and
whoso report is in print. ' A dy or
two sinco tbo Fonate pasted a bill
sotting apart as a public park, to tho
rises of the pooplo of tho United
States forever, wlmt wo ore In tho
habit of calling "tho Yellowstone
country." lbo pasangs of tbe net
was wise, for as we red the reports
published by Cenoral Sheridan, we
find an aggregation of curiosities and
natural iihcnotnena in this proposed
nark tliul but do parade) in tbo world.
PRINCIPLES
CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1872.
As wo peruse tho precise, nnd cold und
formal words of theso oflicial reports
wo feel tho glow and color of the
Arabian Nights, or the legends of the
Oriental nations. Those of our on
tbusiasts who caro to found a new re
ligion npon definod principles of otor
nal damnation will welcome- tho Yel
lowstone discoveries. For here aro
what wo call "Sulphur Mountains,"
with marvellous deposits of brimstone ;
tbo earth covered with boiling sulphur
springs, cavorns of puro cryslulicod
sulphur, tho air dense with tbe ftunos
of sulphuretted hydrogen. "There
was one spring having regular pulse,
tions like an cngino, giving off large
quantities of steam, which would issuo
forth with tho roar of a hurricane ; a
steam volcano in reality , vtlli docji
vibrations in the subtorranoan cav
orns, fur away boiioath tho hills."
What an opportunity for a powerful
preacher to inculcuto tbo dncltinos of
otornal punishment, the vengeance of
an angry Ood and luo suro reward ol
all sins! Now that tho movement
towards secession and evangelical re
formation is seen In many of our
churches, hero is un opportunity for
an exodus as marked as that of Joseph
Milloror Brighntn Young.
Thon we pass to scenes which have
no theological associations. Why do
wo go to tho Rhino to see tho Dom of
ColngnoV tbo castled crag of Drach
onfolsf Hero aro tnrrots of granite
and feldspar and castles of basaltic
rock, lifted high into tho air for hun
dreds of foot, carved with a suror hand
and clourcr eye than ever fashioned
church or stronghold. One, for in
stance, which u thus described :
"Turret or tower, one hundred and
twonty feet in tircumferenco ; broken
and crumbling masses of rock, sug
gesting a bultlotnontcd turrot ; the
vrholo structure graceful in propor
tions and details, resembling an old
castle somowlmt in ruins, even to tbe
portholes, made by small apertures in
turrot and base." Then wo bavo
pyramids of basaltic columns, as mas
sfvo and vast as those of Egypt, says
tho writer, and of many colors, main
ly of a deep rod lint from tho salts of
iron, but not unlrcquently ot a deli-
cato gray, saffron, a light gamboga,
pink and green, and tho ashes of roses.
Then we buvo cascades and rocky
gorges nnd caverns. Tho cascades
especially 1 One fall one hundred and
til teen leel, another threo hundred and
fifty fuel, ending in sheeted foam und
rninbow tinted spray before it reaches
tho ground. Thero aro valleys of
chalk colored rocks more marvellous
than tbe Dover clilTs, which Shaks
pcaro paints in his immortal poetry,
and volcanoes over throwing up mud
of the consistency of thick cream, so
that the surrounding lorost trees are
covered with mud. on their topmost
branches. In ono place there aro
streams and spouting springs of hot
water: five streams ol boiling water,
wo aro told, in porcoluin channels of
many hues, from bright saffron to
deep vermillion, rippling over cascades
worn into tho terraced sides of tbo
rocks. Over this rises masses of vapor
shadowing other waters ot ultrama
rine blue, with rings ot rainbow tints,
yellow, orange and rod of "astonishing
beauty," becoming bright vormillion
and thon silvering into clearness
liko that of tho crystal and a color
like tbo turquoiso.
All of this so far above tho level of
the sea that every night in tho year
brings frost I Jiut tho air Is so clear
nd gentle and runlicd that although
tho morning shows tho delicate- tinted
flower to bo fretted with frost," as
though traced with dclicato lacewnrk,
tho sun disolvos the frost as though It
were a dew, without tinging tho
bloom of tho flower or withering a
leaf or slum. And we come to the
geysers, tho most extraordinary phe
nomenon ot till, .booking irom ono
point nn ' extinct volcanic crater,
callod, quecrly enough, "Old Faith
fur the eye takes In tho whole
geyser vallev, with its thousand steam
jots and graceful founluins, nestled
between high hills covered with foli
ago. It is hnrd to write of these
gcysors without our imagination carry.
mg us away. Thero is the old "Comet
tjoyscr, for instanco, who has tnndo
his own reputation already. A roar
like that of a tornado and a stream
leaping two h und red feat into the air,
throwing out musses ot steam only
think ot itl -Not to speak ot ono
mud spring, as yot unnamed, but cor-
Ininly deserving groat renown, for
this spring throws up at least a thou
stind juts of steam within a space of
one hundred and nlty loot, uiseharg
Ing' niinlito particles of fino clay, of
tho purest white and orango and pink,
ready for ' tho moulder to work into
tho poroeluin. " " "
So we might conlinuo this story, for
thoro really is no end to iu Mature
in a funtuslio mood has had her way
in litis strango country, and future
ngos will find tho pilgrim looking for
the wondcrltil snd avvo inspiring ; Hi
man of sciunco socking to read the
riddles of our mysterious planet ; the
weary worker craving a summer's
real; tho stricken invulid yearning
fur lbo bealtli-restor.iig walors nnd
vapors and moaielnnl springs which
hero abound. Wo as yet scarcely
knoff unything of tho Yellowstone.
Tho Indians occupy lbo approaches to
the region, and thus fur it has been
only seen by armed men and parlies
of road builders, forcing thuir way
Into tho wilderness to find a path fur
the northern road to the 1'iicitie.
Every day those pioneers of enter
prise and civilisation mako an ad
vfinoe, and, ns we havo said, each stop
dovelup some now wonder of nature.
In a few years tho locomotive will
carry tho homos of civilization into
these hiddon and forbidden territories,
tho Indian will bo forced into coun
tries terror the totting sun, und tho
region so wisely set apart as a nation

NOT,. MEN.
Farm Lifea School of Manhood.
The whole lendoncy of farm lifo is
to develop tho body healthy and sym
metrically. Tbo child is not punt
up In tho narrow back yard of a city
dwelling nor turned into tho thronged
and til thy Btroct to pursuo bis sports.
Ills eyes open first upon green fields
nd fragrant moadows, and his first
foolfull out of doors is upon the malted
grass beneath the shadowy trees of
his rural homo, lie drinks in health
from ovory breeze, and all tho scenes
nround him cnll forth that playfulness
winch performs so important un oluco
n our early training.
And thin leads us to speak of the in
fluence otVurm life upon borne viiliios
No occuMtion can bo more favorable
m tbe cultivation of thoso qualities
which aro Mio charm of tho domestic
circle. Tho furincr is much moro at
home than is possiblo with any other
mon. .now many thero aro in our
cities who only seo thoir lamilics at
at evening or on a Sabbath. They
live for their busintss, and this, from
its location, takes them from home
early and lute. How many from this
snmo cnuso forsake housekeeping and
huddlo into bourding houses and hotels,
where tho charm and beauty of the
family as God constituted it aro en
tirely lost, and children full under a
thousand influences that would novur
roach them at home 1 With tho best
urrangement wealth-can command
in tho city, it is well nigli impossible
to kocp children under the influence
of their parents, so that they shall
bavo a distinct iumily character and
benr tho morul as they do the physical
imago of thoir progenitors.
l'urontal inlluenco is dissipated amid
the varied social influences to which
they are subjected from their earliest
days. Thon what perplexities harrass
the man ot business in tho city his
capital oflon invested in profitless en-

A Defect in Our Legal System.
Wendell Philips in Ins roeonl

back to her room and read over the

It is vpry amusing to watch tlioie peo

Wine Making.
When in Portugal, the Hon. Eli
Slifer, of Union county, learned some
thing of wine making nnd bo thus
tells about it in a letter to the Ltwii
burg Chronicle.. If lbo information
boro imparted is not encouraging to
epicures, it it no laulta ot ours:
Portugal has long boon famous for
its wino. At Lisbou 1 witnessed tbo
procoss of munufucturo, and I must
say not lo tho increase of appelilo for
tho arliclo. lhe grapos are thrown

into pulp. To seo. theso fut, pussy

intermingling with tho embryo wino,

somolnncs sat at lublo and boon not a
little disgusted to witness how the
wino-wiso smack thoir lips and talk
knowingly and most wisely of tho
aromatic flavor of this wino, tho rich
bouquet of that, and tbe nutty oilinoss
of tho other. I am rather inclined
to think that these finely drawn and
exquisite shades of I rag ran co that con
noiseurs discover, depend somewhat
npon the temperature of lbo day
when the wino was made, and per
haps as much upon -tho leanness or
futnoss, and tho tilth or uleuiiliuess of
the persons who have luado it. 1
bavo no question that if work about
our burn yards und farms was dono

The Flowering of the Fig.
To tho uneducated evo tbo fig is a
wonder. Tbo fruit seems to como out
in lbo place where flowers ought to
bo; and the appearance is thut there
are no flowors before the fruit, as there
are in other plants. It was the habit
in the past ages to attributo something
miraculous to every appearanco outol
the ordinary courso ot nature, and to
tuke tho occasion lo connect theso
marvelous appearances with some indi
vidual whom they wished the. world
to venerate and esteem. So this fig
iroo marvel came lo bo associated with
tho flight of Mary into Egypt with lbo
inlant Jesus, luo epamards tell us
that in her flight she sheltered herself
one night under a fig treo. Jnrecoin
penso lor tho security nnorded, she
blessed tho troo, and bestowed upon it
marvelous power. In loruign coun
tries it produces two crops a ycar,and
this was one ot the blessings then con
ferred. But in order that the tree
might bo fertilized for oven in those
days it was known that flowers wero
ot two sexes tho treo put lorllt, by
hor command, one mngniticent while
flower of raro beauty, it was puro
whilo, and shot forth rays of phos
pliorpscenl loveliness. This fructifies
tbo whole treo, and renders any other
flower unnecessary. Ibis Powering
still continues every year on ono night
only St. John's night. It opens for
few moments at midnight, und who
ever could soo and secure this flower,
though at tho expenso of tbe whole
I ii tit ro of fig culture, would possess
himself of a chttrm which would enable
him to procure anything be might
siro inlliis world. Tho Virgin Mary,
knowing this, caused tho fig, for this
oveningof its flowering to bo guarded
by all kinds ol horrible things. I here
are nukc9,lizard, bloated toads, birds
of ill omen, wild beasts, nnd venomous
reptiles of overy description, so that
no one hut ovor been able to get near
enough to seo this miraculous and
wonderful flower.
This story is firmly believed in by
all thoso old Latin ruces, w hose chance
for lifo is cast in tlioso regions where
tbo II g tree dwells; and has always
been a sufficient reason to thorn why
the fig tree has nover any flower, as
they think.
What a pity it is thut tho cold hand
of scienco is so ever ready to crush to
dust all these beautiful stories. It
lolls us, in spilo of theso lovoly tradi
tions, of ages past, that tbo fig has
flowers liko unto any other plant, but
tho flowers aro insido what wo call
tho fruit. All flowers rest on some
thing. Tuko the upplo for instance.
The flowers aro set on small globular
productions, 'lbo floral purls, the
petals, and stamens, riso out of tho
cenlro of Ibis globe; and after they die
awoy Ibis globe swells and becomes
tho upplo winch we oat. The tig is
pretty much formed in tho same u ay.
I'ho little globe which wo seo pushing
from tho axle of tho leaf, and which
aftorwurds bocomos tho fruit, is filled
with floral parts, just as wo see in the
applo; but those purls never projoot
up through Ihu cenlro so as lo be aeon
by vulgar eyes. There is a small orifice
at tho apox through which the. pollen is
is drawn and that is all thai is known to
any ono, except of the moro curious
class. Tho curiosity is roworded, on
breaking open a young flower, by find
ing it tilled with a pink, spongy sub
stance; each of Ihu litllo projections
composing it being found by a small
pocket lens to be a small flower.
Thus tho mystery ceases. Tho fig is
really a little community in which
hundreds of individual flowers dwell,
and thus ends in hard cold facts tho
mystery of tho Yirgiu and tho fig live
A Curious Decision. The Supremo
Court of lbo United Status decided
that birds aro i.ot animals. This puts
an end to tho Mens ot Johnson, V) alk
cr, Webster, Worcester, und nil other
lexicographers who bold that an am
mul is a "living being, with nn orgun
izud material body, endowed with the
puwors of Honsation and voluntary
motion."' In tho meaning of tho word
man is an nnimul ; indeed, llnmlel
says ho is tho "paragon" of animals.
A bird which lives, which has an or-
aauizrd both', which has powers of
sensation, and which can fly through
tho air or walk on tho ground, might
bo considered moro accomplished by
virtue of its icrial capacity than any
other animal. Hut tho Supreme Court
says no. And why ? JJccnuso ono
act of Congross made a duly upon
imported birds and imported animals,
winch was lvpoitled oy another winch
declared gesorally that living animals
should be Iniblo lo pay duty it nnpoit.
cd. Tho Court now holds that inas
much at tho former act dislinirtiishod
between birds and animals, lhe now

Subjection of Man to Conditions. "
In whatoror relation w viovr man .
and bit aotions, we almost invariably
find thot though wo aro taught thai

evidunoo of tbo domination of condi
tions governing and controlling bis
actions sooner or latur looms into

If, for oxainplc. wo oxnmliio Into the
causes of mortality, we find that his
condition or occupations exert an all.
important influence on the duration of
his lifo. If bo is very poor, his chance
of death is half as much again as if ho -

(juutclet shows thut in Gormany,-'
twenty four doctors reach tho ago of

forty two theologians obtain their

If wo enquiro into his honesty, we
find that it depends on his ago to a
certain extent, for between the agos
of twenly-ono and twenty. fivo, tug
tendency to thoft is double what It Is
between lbo ages of thirty-five and
forty. On this and other crimes edu
cation lias a vory important influurjeo,
as is show n in Quolelot's statistics of
crime in Franco and Kngland. In the
former country, out of ono hundred
criminals, siiiy-ono could not rcod or
writo, twenty-soven could read imper.
fectly, and oiily twelvo Could road and

.Actions jyhicb. appear on the surface
to depend entirely on the will of the In

by apparently triviul causes. Statis
tics of suicido by banging, for exam

ed slightly till noon, and thon dropped
suddenly to the minimum, there being
123 cases betwocn ton and twolve

lwocn twelve and two o'clock. The

cares between four and six, dropping
to average of about 70 through the
night, tbo soeond minimum, 45, being
betweon two and four o'clock in tho
morning How clourly tho influences
of tho mid-duy meal and tho mid night
sleep aro marked in their elevation of
tho mcntnl tono, whilo tbo depression
of tho morning and afternoon at tbe
prospoct of another day and night of
misery is likowiso indicated by the in
creased number that sought rolicf in

Another inslunco of this influonce of
obscure laws on tho actions of man is
the statement by Mr. Quclalct that

1805, 0 men aged f rom 80 to 45 mar

thereupon remarks : "It is curious lo
see man, proudly entitling himself,
king of nature, and fancying himself
controling all things by bis free will,
yet submitting, unknown to himself,
more rigorously than any other being
in croution, to tho laws to which ho is
under subjection. Tlioso laws aro co
