ar rATiiiia ra.
These hearts of ours bow strange I how strange I
How they yearn to ramble and luvt to range
Down through the vale of the yean long gone,
Up through the future that is fast rolling on.
To-days are dnll as thoy wend their ways ,
Back to their beautiful yesterdays
The present is blank, as they wing their flight
To future to. morrows where all seem bright.
Build them a bright and beautiful home, ..
They'll soon grow weary and want to roam J
Find tbern a spot without sorrow or pain.
They may stay a day but they're off again.
These hearta of ours how wild I how wild I
They're as hard to tame as an Indian's child t
They're as restless as waves on the sounding sea,
Lika the brecis and the birds they're fickle aad
free.
These hearts of ours bow lone I how lone !
Forever, forever, thry mourn and moan v
Let them revel In joy, let them riot in cheer,
The revelry over, they're all the mora drear.
These hearts of ours how Whrm 1 how warm I
Like the sun's bright ray. like t bo sum nier's charm
How they beam and burn ; bow tbey gleam and
g'ow,
Tbeir flash and flame hide but ashes below.
These hearts of ours bow eold ! how cold 1
Like lieoember'l snows on the waste or mould ;
And though our Decembers melt soon Into May,
Some know Decembers that pass not away,
These hearts of ours how deep I how deep I
Yon may sound the sea where the oorals sleep,
Where never a billow hatb rumbled or rolled,
Depths still the deeper our hearts hido and hold.
Where the wild stoitn tramps hati) ae'sr been
known -
The wrecks of the sea lie low and lone ;
Thus the heart's surface may sparkle and glow,
They're wrecks fur down, they re graves below.
These hearts of ours but after all
How shallow and narrow bow tiny and small.
Like scantiest streamlets or summer's least rill,
They're as ea.y to empty as eaiy to J1L
One hour of storm, and how the streams pour;
One hour of sun, and the streatua are no more j
One grief, bow the tears of the heart gusb and
glide.
One smile, flow they ever so fast, they are dried.
These hearts of ours how wise I how wise I
They can lift their thoughts till they louoh the
sky , .
They ean sink their shall like Iha miner bold
Where wisdom mines bide tbeir pearls and gold.
Aloft they soar with nndsssled gsse,
Whs re the hells of the Day-king burn and blase,
Or tbey fl.v with a wing that neier will fail,
O'er the aky's dark sea where the star-ships sail.
These hearts of ours what fools I what fools !
How they lnh at wisdom, their laws and roles :
llow they waste their powers, and when wiated
grieve k
For what they hare squandered but cannot re-
triers.
These hearts of ours how strong I how strong !
Let a thousand sorrows around them thiong,
Tley ran bear Ibein all and a tbun.and more
And they're stonger than they were before.
Thtee hearts of ours how weak I bow weak I
Ituta sing! word of unkindness spook,
Like a poisoned shaft, like a viper's lang.
That one slight word leaves a life-long pang. .
These hearts of ours but I've SAld enough,
As 1 find that my rhyme goes rude and lough J
I'll rest me now, but I'll cume again,
With to-morrow's sun to resume mv strain.

AND Til till DEMOCRATIC KI.NO.
Mons. Paul I)u C'huilla lectured in
Duyea's church, Brooklyn, recently.
Ha euitl that ho gravr tired of tho
rquulor anil went 70 degree 50 north
luliiuilo, whero for three moraha the
sun does not ant. He continued:
"The Swcdoa and Nurweinns are
6ne people; the country the runclest.
I have ever traveled in. Thuro are
evidences that it wus once covurod
with ico. ' Tho mountain rocks arc
smooth Iroin this cuuho, and the val
leys show the oflVcts of ice) floes. In
Muy, June nnd July the sun shines all
tho timo. It is it alunder to cull the
Scnntlinnviuns barhtirous. Thoy are
civilieod all read and write They
arc compelled by law to attend school.
Their religious faith is pi-olcsUnl.
They ontoem their churches highly,
and rovore their gruvpyitulit. When one
die the body is interred in a grave
yard, if it huri to bo curried oho hun
dred miles. Tho people are boaeet
and moral. I wus never robbed of
a cent, thouuli with them three yetus;
why, the women put their jewelry in
my room to show they y? ore not afraid
of mo.
When in Stockholm I bad a detire
to suo the king, so I wrote to tho sec
rotary of slate. I was politely in
formed that his majesty had gono vis
iting, hut would return in two days.
When he arrived I was invited to cull
on him. I wont to the paluoo expect
ing to oe soldiers, infantry, -cavalry,
men and artillery men, but llicro was
only ono soldier, and he did not even
ask mo whero I was going, or what I
wanted. . I wont up stairs' nuchal
longed, and at length intercepted n
servant by whom 1 was directed whore
to find the king.
' "(inod morning," said ho.
"(jood morning," I rexpnnded.
And this was our introduction. In
less than three, minutes ho axked mo
to havo a cigar, and then showed my
books, which bud been trunelulcd. I
felt proud ; it wits an honor to have
tliein in this language He asked me
to comn and epend tho neil dav with
him. 1 went nnd ronmed through tho
paiueo in scarcn oi u owner. 1 Until
ly halloed, '-la thero any ono about!'
and succeeded in aroueing soino onn
who ptiintea me to a room. 1 eiitored
it and found the kinif lust tiuitimr on

t nen aoout leaving I rcqiiestod some
of his poitwvits to givo to tho girls in

writing on lhm, at my solicitation,
his autograph. "Now," anid Jie.hingli.

CLEARFIELD, PA.", WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1871.
I find that tho horses won't carry
you up hill. When they reiich th
loot of ono they look round to see
you quit the carriage; if you don'l
they stop. Tho people are never in a
hurry I wont into u church and saw
a club lying op the pulpit. I inquired
its uso. ''When my congregation get
aaleup I pound on the pulpit with that
to wtike thorn up," wus the onswer.-e
Thero was also a polo eight or ton fuel
long which I was told tho sexton kept
to poku into tho ribs of lee pore for
the second olfonco I can't under
stand how they gtil asleep. The seats
aro uncomfortable about six inches
wide, straight in the back, with nar
row ridges to keep your head struighi,
and they never have fire in churel:s,
si though the thermometer dtres-ertn'hd
45 degrees below feezing point. Their
Sunday lusts tweniy-four hours, be
ginning at six on Kuturduy ovening.
Sunday afternoons aro devoted to
duncing. The Scandinavians drink
and get drunk, but they don't have
the tremens, nor quarrel, nor fight.
Tho worst they do, when intoxicated,
into kiss all the girls they moot on
tho street. There are churchyurds
six hundred years old lliut havo no
tombstones. Tho people aro exceed
ingly religious. Every lioiiso has a
Bible or book of Psalms. I ouw num
bers of men und horseback loads of
good things going into house ono
duy.and concluded it must moan a
wedding. "Where is tho bride?" I
askod, "tinn't that," was answered;
"the man has lost his wile, and they
are holding the funeral jolitloution."
These Jo'iticulions aro continued for
days.
At last I got to the land of the Mid
night Sun. I watched it throughout
tho find night and remained there
nearly seven weeks. It bothered me
to know when to g6 to bed. I discov
ered tho birds rotired at II p. in., and
got up at 2 a. m. Somo of the farms
huve as many as forly-tivo hounes.
Tliero aro hounes for cheese, und for
butler, and this thing and that thing
I don't know whut all. Kucb farm
bus two dwelling bouses, ono for win
ter und the other for summer. Rous
es can be rented for $5 a year. Cur
penter's wages aro forty-Cro cents a
day, and yet they strike Everybody
works. Thero are no markets ; noth
ing is sold. Whoever bus more tbun
ho wants for himself bo gives it to
whoever needs it. The people are
healthy. They do not huve consump
tion, and you never see un emaciated
form. You never soe u beggar cither.
If loo poor to livo thoy ure '.oo proud
to beg, und not mean enough to steal,
Tho suDi-istvnco is sour milk, course
breud, mcut twice a week, nnd fish.
At length I reached 71 d. grees 50',
the cupo, the northern end of Emopo.
The cousl ot Nnrwny is mtu'nihYoiit,
its harbors lined with alcumbouls; its
moiiutuiiis high and grund, ure covered
with glaciers; its wutvrsso clear thut
the bottom of the seu is diccrnuble.
Sweden hours no compurisxn to it.
Grogshops ore 100 miles apart. They
buy wniskey by the quantity und
keep drunk while it lusts. I'otirtnhip
and marriage are pceuliur institutions.
I caw one match mudo IIo nut her
at the gate and poked bis finger in ber
ribs, und said : .
"I want to got married, don't yon?"
"Oh, 1 don't know. (Jo awuv." '-Yes.
you do; lot's get married." Well,
UHk pupa. ".No, never mind him,
we'll gut married an) how." And ho
went around telling every boily ho saw,
"I'm going lo marry tliul girl."
Tho prepurntiol.s continued during
tho throe weeks required by Uw to
have tho buns publishoJ in tlio church
es. Fishes were eaugfit, slopes fiirlho
feast laid in, beer browoa! and whisky
purchased. Wedding joliflcutions aro
indulged in for a week. This couple
wero married. They went from the
church to the houo, and the brides
maid locked the brido in her room,
Tho gloom knocked at tho duor.
"How much will you give to couio
in T" "Two cows und live dollars."
"That's not enough." "Three cows
and ten dollars." "Oh, you are rich;
you must give more than that." Fivo
cows and twenty. Uvo dollars wus tho
final offer, which Was ucccpled. Jn
writing to a lady you do not uxo the
name but addrens it to her father like
this: "John Jones's daughter," and
add tho nu mo of the farm.
Many have the impression Lapland
is durk in tho winter, but Unit in an er
ror. The country is illuminated by
northern lights every night. I wnul
ed to see the Laps and drive a reindeer.
Thoy can go filty miles an hour for
two hours daily. The sledges aro nar
row, have oscillating motion, and ono
unaccustomed to them will tumble out
in all directions. You drive with ens
line only; thut reaches from tho ani
mal's horns and is tied around your
arm. After you got pitched out the
reinderr slops when ho is tired of
drugging you through the snow.
Sometimes they 'bout I'afe and buck
you out, und not unfrequnntly per-
lorin mm. taK oy Kicking I was
keeled out by a kick and snatched
along two hundred yards ut tho rate
of Hourly o mile a uiinu'e, We drove
to an acquaintanoo who owned 4,000!
reindeer. I went into his tout, found j
mon, women, dogs and olher animuls
sioeping togellior.anil 1 found so many
fleus there thut 1 took my bug and
went out to sleep In u snow bunk. All
the Christians read and writo. They
wour snow shoes ton feel long nnd
four lee, wido, und go sliding about in
A comical manner.
Tho journey from Now York to
Christiana fan be inado in twelve
days. 1 wonder more tourists do not
go there. Tho summers are worm,
the wintors ure cold, but churmingly
healthy. The hotels ennnot bo sur
passed, and their c bulges aro Very
moderate.
Hon Allen (s. Thurmnn wus ro
elocled to- tho Senalo of the I'nilcd
Hlalos on Wedncsdiiy lust by the Dem

A Buffalo Fight. . .
' Appearance indicated Ibut this
shaggy old fellow had bcon making n
very good fight of it for several duys.
I dure suy that in tho mnintenitnco of
Ids sociul status he had gone back'
into tho herd und stared at bis do
sconilcnlH, und pawed and grounod,as
much ns fifty limes. The long bulr
upon his lingo neck was tangled un I
pulled until tufts of it hung loose und
unkempt. Tho outer fibres of his hugo
black horns hung in filaments and
splinters. His wicked liltlo eyes' hud
a reddish glare, and his beard ..wus
limp and troth-wet benoulli his ohin.
Nor wus this all. Sundry long, ob
lique, hairless linos nppeured on Ids
flunk, and he put his torofoot down
tendoily, very likely remembering, at
the same time, a sqquro jounce lie had
got yeslerdHy on the shoulder from
somo strong-flecked youngster that Imd
tukon it upon -himself to whip bis
luthor.
ilo stood a littlo upon tho outskirts
now, bis bond towards tne, pretending
to rat grass. It wus as nice herbuge
as a bull, whoso teeth wero probubly

Then came another cow, and another,
and presently quile a little wing ol
the herd hud gathered there, and tho
bultired old warrior looked around
him complacently. This kind ot thing
had doubtless happened so often thut
I wonder ho did not seem to think of
tho result, but ho did not. Ho might
havo known thut ho hud arrived at
lliut ago when the young bloods of the
herd would not look complacently
upon bis hoary gulluntries. Ho was
simply laying the pluns lor anolher
tight, and tlio trouble began in the
very midst of bis content.
A fellow as big us (ho old ono must
huvo seen this nocbl gathering from
somo distulico, and throw out certain
intimulions of his Approach by little
puff of dust which (lew high in the
a r above tho crowd, and by ominous
snorting and lugubrious groans. The
old ono stopped chowii g with a green
mouthful belween bis lips and listened.
The cows looked round with tho com
placent expression which seemed to
suy that the tight was nono of theirs,
and crowded olf upon cither side, and
very soon the antagonists stood facing
each other. The old boy straightened
out li's wisp of a luil to a lino with
his back, gathered his fourbluck hoofs
together, arched his spine, und placed
his poso close to the sod, slinking his
huge head us though bo wished to
sultsfy himself finally of its freedom
from any cnlanglument which would
hinder him from just tossing thut am
bitious youngstro over bis buck and
breskiughim in two. The olher came
singly, twisting his tail from si do to
side in semicircles, which wore very
delibciato und grand for so small an
organ. Ho took pains to make it dis
tinctly appear thut every hair ho woro
was angry. His eye rolled in con
stunt increasing redness, His black,
sharp horns Wero encrusted with uurtli
gathered while ho bud boon tearing
the sod in cclncy of vulor. His nos
trils wore distended, and ho hulled in
his slow advance lo toss tho broken
sod high over his shoulders witti Jits
pawing. Ho wus, in natural way, a
tactician. JIo made flank movements,
and turned bis shaggy sides, first ono
and then tho olher, -iowurd bis huge
aiilngoiiisl.
Ilul this piny of bnttlo only hindered
the final oimet they by no menus in
tended to tuko it out by vaporing.
Tho challenger udvanccd within somo

crash which hud in it something Ho

And now l!.o nowe returned and
lookod complacently on, nnd the vory
culves began to shuke thoir bauds in
the first vsgue instinct of enmbative
ness inspired by the baulo or tho bulls.
And the young lording of tho herd
distended llieic nostrilt and elevated

It Wa k duel a 'loUlrance. A mo

seemed clots of blood. I could bear
the labored breathing whero I lay, and
see tho tendons stand out across tho
thighs and along tho thick necks.
liut this dcud set of strength could
not lust frl ways. Every moment of
timo was telling disastrously upon tho
shorter wind und decaying strength
of tho old cMisuder, who still fought
for the loves of his youth. His loo',
slipped, and tho intelligence of this
slight disaster seemed to reach bis
antagonist oulclior limn fUsb of
lightning. No gludiutor over ufged
his udvautuge more suddenly. There
was u huge Itingo, a sound of horns
slipping upon each other, a spring for
ward, and tho born of tho younger
bull had mudo a raking upward slroko
through his antagonist flank. The
fight now became brisk. Again nnd
iigein tho old ono turned and tried to
mnko the old stand of heud lo head,
and asollen his more active nnlngoii
ist caught him behind the shoulder.
With the red sgony of defeat in his
eyo, and the blood trickling from the
long wounds in his flunks, he still rn
fused to bo conquered. With lailing
strength nnd limbs which refused any
longer to servo him, ho finally stood
at buy, with open mouth nnd hanging
tongue, iinublo to tight and disdaining
to retrout. His antagonist pushed
him, und he yielded doggedly. lie
mudo no attempt to shield his flank,
and pitifully endurod ull that came.
Tho orignul plan of non-inierferenee
wus abandoned, und tho young lords
gathered around him, and'snortcd and
shook their heads, and gave him an
occasional dig in the ribs by way of
expressing their contempt tor him.
The cows cumo und snuffed at him,
and indulged in spitclul feminine bills,
and wulked away. Their munner im
plied lhat they hud ulwuys retarded
him us a'dinngreeablu old mutf, and
they were glud he finally understood
their heartfelt sentiments in regard to
him.
Through all this the old fellow stood
unresisting, whipped, but still obsti
nate. Gradually they nil left him to
himsclf,and the herd wandered funher
away. Ho did not even look around ;
bo was probably f rced at lust to ac
cept his sentence of banishment, and
go nnd livo as Iqng ns ho could alone,
und tight bis last tight with tho coyo
tes, and die.
But that calf came out to see him
again. 1 say that culf, because il
seemed to met lie same that had hrouc-ht

in front of him, and cave him to un

lunguugo, that it hJd itself in readi

bing, if ho had not already bud enough.
Il wus comical to see him imitalo the
actions of bis seniors, w hile the p(or
old bull did not so much ns look at
him, Rut his culfship was inclined to
push mutters, and finally mado a pass
which placed his foolish beud with a
uonsidcrublo thump against the soft
purl of the old man's noso. Then he
stood a moment with tho uir of hav

off lo his mother.

"Before Minlzer joined tho temper
ance socioty ho would soinoi iines muke
a beast of himself by getting drunk.
One night some of bis companions
finding hint asleep on tho sofa of the
club liouso rubbed his noso with phos

took him homo. Thero was mirror

dark. Mintzer's nowi glowed like an

remarked thnt il wus a most extraor

up lo tho ruck to turn tiff the gas
Aflor fiimoling around among tho

that tho light must como from a can

out. Then ho seifed bis hat and tried
to jam il down over tho candle. At

an umbrella bo resolved to smash that

Ilo aimed a toi rifle blow nt il and

, Tho Care of the Innano. ,
Tho Board of Charities, composed
of gentlemen distinguished for thoir
intelllgonco and philanthropy have
submitted to tho Legislature a lengthy
memoi iul in regurd to the present
condition of the criminal insane of
tills Suite, und the imported provision
mude for them by existing laws. This
subject is referred to at length by the
Governor in his messugo, und the
Medical Society of the Htuto have ad
dressed to the Legislature u memorial
on tho sumo subject. The treatment
of this unfortunuto class of being is
ono which deeply concerns not only
the credit but tho tnorul und mntcrial
interests of tho Coinmonweullh. In
our own county unusuul provision
havo been mudo for tho uecornmoja
tion of tho poor and criminal insane,
but in most counties of the Stute
their treatment is of tho most grossly
inadequate charac-tor. Their treut
ment under a system by w hich all
classes aro huddled together,' under
tlio management of somo political
cliquo, or unfit overseer, is oAon of
the most barbarous character. Tho
Tribune referring to the facts set forth
in the uddressof our Board of Chari
ties, culls public uttcni ion to the un
satisfactory manner in which this
whole subject has been treated by
Stale government, and say :
"TUoro were,. we honestly believe,
no more flagrant oulruges against hu
manity or Christianity perpetrated on
the miction block or aluvo-pens than
uro to bo found in our much bonsted
prisons and alms-house. Precedent

over Slavery, and we aro louth lo

reason. Aro wo not a Christian peo.

sinners whom Christ came to cull lo

A Terrible Struggle.
A few weeks ago a Swcdo by tho
name of Torgilerpoti, who resides in
Swill county, Minn., wna proceeding
to a neighbor's, some throe miles dis
tant from his own home, carrying a
shovel on his shoulder, which be was
reluming lo bis neighbor, from whom
he hud borrowed it. Ho hud accom
plished about half his journey, nnd
was passing through a small grovo,
when ho beard a crashing in the un'
dorbrush, and, turning round, suw a
slulwurl deer, of tho buck persuasion,
making for him with every demon
stration of horn ilo intentions.
Thero wus but one course to pursue,
und that wus to fight for his life, and,
being a powerful man, he anticipated
un easy conquest. Mistaken man !
Tho deer charged him ' with antlers
lowered even as nn enraged bull would
lower his head wben dashing at bis
foes. Torgilcrson grasped bis shovel
und stood stout I v on the defensive
As the enraged Luck neared him ho
aimed A dosperuto blow wtlb bis shovel
full at his bead.
It struck one of his nn Lid's with
such forco as lo breuk it, but tho con
cussion wus so eirong lhat it forced
the man backward several feet, and
burled hitn brolhlom against a tree -Just
how the right went after that he
does not remember, but he knows
that he fought, with all the strength
of desporuiion, and at last tho doer
and himself both fell to tho ground,
and Ilc lost ull consciousness for a lime.
When he came "round lo his soul
sguin," tho deer was 1) ing stark dead
near by him, and he could barely
crawl away. His clothes were in
rtljrs, his left check torn open, a gash
on tho right sido, where the deer hud
inserted ono of tho prongs of Ids ant
lers, and Ihreo fi niters ot his left hand
jammed up. The shovel was a total
wreck, and tho carcass ol Iho leer
wus prelly well lucked uround tbo
head und shoulders.
Tho blow that caused iho animal's
deulh was inflicted by a sharp corner
of the shovel remaining on tbohuiuUo
after most of the blndu hud been brok
en off. Tho wounded man succeeded
in crawling back to his house, which
ho reached In terribly exhausted
condition. It I thought that he will
survive his wounds.
It is rnnnrtml I lint Grunt uill n,,ii l.A
sign nor volo tho salury repeal bill,
but allow it to hooomo a law in duo

delicnto on Ibis mutter that he docs

taken awny his own increase of salary,
ho would havo been rousod to action.

It lies prostiuto in tho dust, ruled
