THE REPUBLICAN. CLEARFIELD, Ta. weiixksday morning, jan. n, xm. SOMEDOOV. Somebody's eyes have grown dimmer Off in some quiet old home At morn, when the ovening stars glimmer, Watching for roino one to ootn. Watching while heart grows the slokor, As day after day glides along, Watching while tears fall the thicker, Choking the lullaby song. Somebody, Vanderlng over Lands far away from bis own, Scents as of old the sweet clover That grows bv the nl.l J.. Long, to gu back and to uiinglo, Aa In the dim days of yoro, Willi those round the old cottage Ingle, Tboeo who, alas ! are no more. Somebody's prayers ar, asoonding Ever for dear ones away, Prayers that His bleasing'attrnding May keep them from going astray t Prayers that float nearer and nearer Tho throne of the Father above, And, reaching the ear of the Hearer, Are answered in infinite lore. Somebody's life-work is ended Patient they wait now to go ; Long have ihey failafully wended Toilsome paths here below. Soon the reward they'll be reaping That to the faithful is given 1 "Well done ; some up 1" and be keeping Watcb for somebody In Heaven. ft. feral Horn,. A CHRISTIAN NATION.

A C'liriRtinn Nation must bo a nnlion over wliiih Clirint presides in liitt spiritual gnvernment. " His king dom is so diritinet from all tho king doms and nations of this world, that except n man bo born again lie can not bco it : and except a man be born of tlio wuler and nf tho Spit it ho can not enter it, or no n cili.en ol it. The new and epirilual birth which is indicponsiblo to a perecplion of, or en trance into, tho kingdom of our God, is not effected by blood, nor by tlio will of man, but it iu of God. Jinn cannot therclore resDlvo himself inin it, nor run any nation ol the oarth, bv li'ginlnlivcnnctnicnts, constittilo itself a liirislmn JNnlion. ilio church of the living God is in thescripturcH cull ed a ''Chosen Generation, a Royal Priesthood, ft Holy Nation, a Peculiar People j" btit till theso names clearly imply that they aro chosen ol God in Christ, as a seed that shnll bctvo hi in, and be counted to him for n genera tion ; they being tho children which God has given him, and which ho stands pledged to rniso up at tho last day. Their holiness is of God. Tho Lord ishiniscll their Righteousness, as ii is ni'iiicn, "Aim men-righteousness is of mo, Buith tho Lord." Tho Hebrew Nation, though n perfect Tlecncracy , was not n Christian Nation, for tho Cliiiftian Church was not organized until after tlio resurrection of Christ from tho dead. How preposterous then to talk of uinkuijj tho Liiitcd Statoa a Christian Nation by legislative onactnionts ! Aro thoHO religious fanatics who from tho commencement of our nutionulity have been so ardently striving to es tablish a hierarchy in our country, willing to bo govcrnod thomsolvcs by tho laws of Christ f Do they luvo tiifir enemies, und do good to them who deepilefully uso und pcrseeuto them f . Aro they ready to beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks? Ho thoy indeed desire and breatho tho spirit of penco on earth, and good will to man? Whatever rony havo bt)."n their pro fessions, history brands Ihcm with very opposite proclivities. Behold, says God, yo fust for strifo and douttc, and lo sniito with tho fist of wickoa ness. Is not this the fast that Got! approves, to Jooso tho bands of wick edness, to undo tho heavy burdens, and to let tho oppressed go frco, and that ye break every yoke 1 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring tho poor Hint aro cast out lo thy houso ? When thou secst tho nuked, that thou cover him, mid that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh ? lmngino whnt kind of a Christian Nation tho purilunio jthariscos would make if they could carry out their doaigns.

Yet, wondorful to think, that by a complimentary inser tion of tho nnmo of God, of Christ, and of a Christian KabbaHi, this tin defiled country, with nil iU murdord, its lob bories, its suicides, its cilmo of every conceivublo nnmo and typo, is to bo transformed into a Christian Nation, by legielutivo enactment. As wo pass through our towns and cities, how many magnificent temples point their lolly spires up heaven wu i d, inscribed to (St. Paul, St. John, fit. Stephen, and many other imposing n.imcs, In 'which not ono of those saints would bo allowed to preach tho doctrino of God our Savior, if Ihey were hero in tho flesh, Whut splen did mockery, what garnished hypoc ricy 1 Tlio.so who would ns eugorly stono tho prophets of our God, and shod tho blood of tho ministers of Chririt, as did their fathers tho proph ols and apostles in the duys of old, still crave lo bo called a Christian Na tion, to lako nwny thoir ropronch. But if it wero difTeront with us, ovon if In truth wo could righteously claim to bo tho most upright, virtu ous and blameless earthly nation and poopfo on tho faco of tbo oarlb, still it would bo aaorilogioDi, if not down right blasphemy, to assume the iv orod name of Christian Nation.

Sam Patch's Last Jump. A correspondent of tho Now York Commercial Advertiser writes; While in Rochester a few days ago I met Mr. Hebburd, an old resident of Gen 066CO county, who suw Sum Patch make his famous jump off (ioncssco falls, 30 or 40 years ago. He suys that jump day was a great day in Rochester. Tho pooplej gathered for miles around lo sco this iiitormitlenl American jumper, as ho performed nis last leal. Sam Patch haJ previously jumped over Niagara. Then, saying "somo things enn be dono ns well as others," ho slashed around like Sergeant LVites through tho western part of the Stuto to back tin his proverb, liel'oro this last jump, ho bought a big black bear ol a circus man und led him over tho turnpike to Rochester.. Tho morning of tho day cume. Sam had arrived in town with the black bear, and tho crowd rushed into Rochester from miles around. Twolvo o'clock wus the hour to jump to jump 100 feet down down tho tcrri blo full into tho boiling caldron below. A staging had boon built out over tho wutor, and Sain appeared on tho stag ing dressed in a sailor', funey jacket. His friends now took up a collec tion on tho shnro, while Sinn swung his hat and said, after jumping him self, ho would return and throw I hp beur over. Then, amid a douth-liko stillness, he rnn a few stops and gave ono leap into tho nir and lull, cutting tho hiisl, like a lead sinker, two hun dred feet Into tho seething whirlpool. As ho left tho singing his body as sumed r.n nblitjuo position, his head loremost, but above his lect. Aa ho struck the water (hero was a dread ful silence, while tho populaco nwnit od with choking breath his reappear ance. Ono m inn lo, two minutes, threo minutes, and no riirni of tho darinu jumpor. Then tho ponplo act up a lout! wail a long murmur of sorrow. This was tho end of Sam Patch. They say ho had hoen drinking dur ing tho morning, and failed to keep1 his fnot tatrotlior anil tiia body j,urj.n dieular, as on previous occasions. .So when ha struck tho water the breath left his body, and ho was knocked senscloss. A month or so afterward they found his body away down below Rockeslor, drilled upon tho rocks. . e Tim Flea. When u flea, under a niieroscono, is made to appear as large ns an elephant, wo can nee all the wondorful partis of its ('urination, and are astonished to find that it tins a coat of armor much moro complete than ever warrior woro, Bud composed of strong polishod platen, filled over each other, each pinto liko n tortoiso sliell, and where thoy meet hundreds of small quills project liko thoso on tho back ol a poroupino or hodge-hog. There aro the arched nock, the bright oyes, the transparent cases, piercers to punctilio the skin, a sucker to draw away the blood, six long legs, four of which aro iolded on the breast, all ready nl uny moment to be thrown out with tremendous force for thul jump which bothers ono when they waul lo catch him, and at tlio end ol each leg hooked claws, to cnnblo him to cling on to whntovor ho lights upon. A fjeii can jump n hundred limes its own length, which is tho same ns if a man jumped five hundred foot ; and ho can draw a loud two hundred times his own weight. Tho Titusvillo rresi sayi: "An In toxioatod prlntor iu East St. Louit wanderod into a shoe shop in a fit ol mental abborratlon and sot up sovoral stioklulls of shoo pegs and took a proof of his mattor in tho boot press ho fore ho roalizod his awful bondilioo," NOT MEN.

Spinning is ono of ihc primary arts, and was dercloped by tho growth of civilization. Tlio system in its first crudo efforts is supposed to havo or iginated in India, and oven to this day tho natives of this country excel all others in tho fineness of their linen threads, and tho luxurious elegance of their soft nnd richly dyed carpets. Tho Anglo-Saxons wero nl an early day proficient iu domestio spinning, both in wool nnd flax. In tho seventh century tho undergarmonts, gowns and stockings of tho higher classes were made of fine linen. Before the close of tho same century, tho ladies of Great Britain bud attained such excelle'nco in wcuving that they work ed gold und silver threads into linon, after a pattorn traced on tho lubric, and linen webs wero woven with shut tles filled with wool threads of purple At a later period womon of all grades woro accustomed to spin ; but, from tho fact that iho unmarricd'oncs wero moro fully oceupiod in this mun ner, wo havo dorived tho word "spin ster." History speaks of tho four daughters of king Edward tho Elder ns famous for their skill in spinning, weaving, and ueedlo work. These accomplishments procured for them husbands distinguished us four of tho first princes in Europe. Tho spinning of both cotton and wool by machinery was Bccured in process of timo, and Ihc process has been of in calculuhlo scrvico lo mankind. On account of the cohesion of tho fibers of the flax, nnd the irregularity of the throuds, which uro ill adapted tor spin ning, nntil a recent dato iho work of spinning linen was almost entirely performed by hand. Tho first tolera bly good results in mnchino spinning wero nltained by tho brothers Girard, of Paris, who wero quite successful in tho undertaking uhout tho year 1810. divivuitiwn, iiuivever, Deset tho work, and it was never highly sue cossful until sometime later. . jjecus, in lorn bin re; L'undoo, in Scotland ; and JJelfust, in Ireland, havo tho credit of being tho first scuts of tho linen trade, where tho spinning of flax by roachirery reached a stato of perfection li 1 1 lo short of thul attained in co. tun and woolen It wus the re sult of the early experiments in France, however, that suggested to Jacouard tho invention of his celebrated loom, which has had tho effect of revolution izing tho trade of tlio world. Jiut, witu nil tho improvements mado by modern science in Fiiiiiiiinej nnu weaving, the quuiily ol hand-spun unu nund-wovon linen rtill maintains ils superiority ; nnd undcrlho present system lace equal to old fashioned point-luce, pillow-luco or drawn lace connot ho man'ilacttired.

Sho cared nothing for dolls and miniuturo housekeeping, like oth er little girls, but wanted gimlets und augers, and saws und hatchets, und nails and lumber to work with. In stead of learning to sew on dulla' clothes, sho made sleds nnd wagons and kites for her numbecull brothel's, and she fiuully becume a wondor of mechanical genius. Her taste ran that way, aud her friends concludod lo let it go whon they found they could notstopit.
