TRVIPKRANCE 1'NION.
Wliitt ia it Hint ia required of u ?
Wlittlin the world asking m our lianda?
Is it to ait idly liy and do nothing?
It if nation ! U it to muku grt'ut pro
tontioimot litllt) weight? It imaniirit
labor! In it tho heart alonu? Ilia
uIho ol tho hund! In itconvioliononly
that is wanted ? It is deoda! In it at
homo only? Tho light of a candle
grows no brighter by confinement, hut
mur tlicer tbe truvolor at a diatanco.
It ia iubor eai'Donl labor of tbo heart,
tho mind, the hand. Should wo, can
wo resist tho p rendu re of our own con
victions ? "Can wo at k oi others to do
for our country and our friends that
wbieb wo will not do ournelves ,' Jt
has boon aaid : 'Truth is mit'lily and
ill prevail." But wn cannot bo idloi
recipients; we must seek lor it, long
tor it, atrivo for it. So it ia witb the
oaasoof Temperance. It our land is
ever freed from tho vilo destroyer, In
temperanco, it must bo by human ac
tion. All good comos Irom tiod, but
His plan is the labor of man for man.
liy the guidance of His spirit we must
exhunnt every means tbat Ho 'has
placed at our disposal ; every ability
Ue has given us, as well aa call upon
Him to finish the work. Wo must
strive while we pray.
I know not whether it is because of
strength or weak news that 1 am what
I am; but wo know well thut what
ever our abilities, it is onrduty to use
them for the public and our private
weliarc, and to improve them to the
utmost.
1-would say to thoso assembled here,
with all thanks to the many who have
stood forth boldly fur tba cause, there
it work lor each to do. There are
othei fields of action. This is but tbo
training ground for the battle of life.
Wordsalone will not conquer we must
do and dure. If there are those who
would not appear in public, at last all
depends on jirivato action. You can
cheer us with your presence ; you can
persuade a neighbor to come with
you ; may oven prosorve bim from
temptation ; your ballot ia as weighty
as if cast by tbe most learned and
honored ; your influence upon others
van not bo estimatetl. There ia not a
person before me to-day but whoae
presence hero shall have an influenco
upon me from now to eternity. You
are forming not your own character
only, but that of hundreds. Your an
peurance baa a greater innuendo than
all tbe sermons you might preach. A
momentary glance, a single word, may
be equal to a volume. It has been ao
with me, and from some well known
to yon. Tbat Temperance should be
come a political question appears to be
the desire of a large portion ot the
reformers, and to make it sucb ia one
ot their principal endeavors ; but the
cause has made slow advances in this
direction. There are other questions
over which the publto mind hua been
much excited that this bas been
dropped at the trying moment. From
this wo sbould learn a lesson : I em
perance ia not the only question before
tbe American people. At present it
can not be decided alone and by the
ballot, rolitically, one plana, how
ever broad, cannot ba a platform.
1 ben, it we most accept otber pnnci
pics ii we must Onito let it ba with
the right ; ws cannot join truth and
error they will combat still I
llut how shall we become respected
politically I We must show our
strength ; we must seek onion, but be
firm enough to stand alone. I favor
political action, because it is the moat
complete, tba most rapid solution of
this great question : because it would
giva a forward impetus to tba public
mind an inoreaaeu force to moral
suasion. We are a progressivo nooplo,
and it may not be long until this ques
tion is presented In sucb a form tbat
when tbo day cornea, as it soon may ,our
sisters should cast their ballots witb
us. Rut ba that aa it may, right it
right, aa truth ia truth, and right the
day must win. - Sooner or lator lbs
time depends onon our action the
destroyer will be removed from our
midst, though it ahould be but by tbe
siow procesa ol moral suasion and
human advancement.
I'erhaps God ia retarding tbe day
mat another a Kindred evil may
fall with it. Tobacco and alcohol
twin servants of the evil one aet forth
to rob men ot their manhood, destroy
tbeir minds and steal away their souls.
Ob, what sorrows and anguish follow
ia tneir traca, words cannot utter I
Young man, atop I Set down tbat
glass ' ltaisa not tbe poison to lb
lipel Why tempt tbcodeath? Why leap
into theguH? Can any one rescue ?
Tompt not thy Got! I 1 bine own acta
shall torn thy fato. la tbe appetite
already formed ?. la It not easier to
resist than die, to make one firm and
final stand, than to reaitt and fall re
CLEARFIELD,
sist and full again, even among the
prayers, tbe entreaties, the tears of
friends and parents, and at last to sink
down, down to the drunkard's grave ?
The prayers, the tears, tbe entreaties
or friends all gone ! es, gone colore
to confront thee at a higher bar of
judgment I Tby own hopes with them ;
thy struggles ot no avail, thy young
life blasted, and thy doom well-known.
Beware of tbe first glasa ! "Hay not
with temptation" give not way weakly
thereto, but stand firm and thou shaft
resist with a strength that comoth
down from Heaven tor thy salvation.
Who among us shall it be? Will it
be I or some of you ? Unless this evil
is removed we know tbat some now
present, some from this community,
may fill yes, shall fill a drunkard's
grave; their life work unperformed ;
their days not half numbered, tbeir
light, gone out in sorrow and remorse.
Who shall it be? Shall it bo 1 or shall
It he you ? Will some one for whom
toe have labored, labor and pray and
strive with us? Will they at last,
when all is o'er on earth, lay our weak
wrock of manhood away in the silent
place of grave the city of the dead,
while some aorrow.crunbod mourner
exclaims. "Through God ho was the
means of my salvntion," but I was pow
erless to preserve him! We know not
but that this may ho our lot, or tho lot
of some near and dear to us. There
is but ono safeguard, remove tbe evil.
And for its removal let us join band
with band, bcart with heart, hope with
hopo.
TROUBLE OX DEPOSIT.
Some modern philosopher bas given
very good advice to that very largo
proportion of the human family who
aro always in trouble, real, or imagi
nary. "When you find yourself, he
says, "in trouble, go out, cut a poio,
and go fishing." Thcro is moro com
mon senso in tint bit ol advice than in
many a ponderous volume on chronic
dyspepsia or torpid livers. Tho mind,
particularly the active, misy, agrossivo
American mind, above all things eiso,
needs rest. It you do not yield it this
precious boon, it will reuel wun a
tearful vengeance. The trophies ot
its insurrection will assort themsolves
in indigestion, biliousness, paralysis,
boart disoase and death. There is a
sufficiency of real trouble in the world.
without negotiating any loans ot too
article. The gonuino is so common,
that the counterfeit is unnccssary, and,
ollcntimes, It sweeps over and devas
tates tbe human heart like fire over
tho dry grass of a Western prarie.
Time tenths ol all our trou tiles aro
imaginary. W hen you march tip to
them, with tbe conquoring troad of
resolute manhood, they vanish into the
air, and disappear like tho mist of the
morning beneath tho rays of tbe aun.
The banker, tho merchant, and the
manufacturer all have tboir troubles,
as well as the clerk, the mechanic, and
the subordinate. Overshadowing all
these, however, as far indoed above
them as tbe Cbimborazo Peaks tower
above the hills of Uland, are the trou
bles of the politician. Aa ho travels
through mud, dust, rain,sleotornnow,
and bitches his jaded steed at tho post
of some friendly farm house, he bor
rows trouble as be enters, and some
time baa it, without borrowing, when
bo comes out. When he "fixes" the
occupant he is momentarily happy,
and a dark shanuow only tails across
bis path to Media, and glory, when,
on his return homeward, he finds the
horse of a vigorous competitor lor tbe
samo office, bitched at the same post,
the rider inside, with gentle whisper
ings and profuse promises re-fixing his
old constitutional friend, who, two
honrs before, had promised to' fight,
bleed and die for him.
Truly, from the stand point of the
party ot the first part, bia cup of sor
row ia full lo overflowing, and when
ho lolls belore the crackling domestic
hearth at his tweet borne, due allow
ance most be made he ia a bltlo disa
greeable ; for has be negotiated a false
loan and is paying a heavy interest ou
his investment.
The man who voluntarily creates
trouble deserves all he can carry ; the
man who does not create it la a fool
for borrowing it. ,
in our great financial centres, and
at our huge corporation boards, cluster
myriads ot men who do not compre
hend the first principles ol human
happiness. They deliberately murder
body, soul, and ruputalion, lor
imaginary something, which, when
they attain does not "till the bill ;" and
then they realize that their rostive,
nervous, irritable lives have been flat
failures. These stueplo ehase lives we
Americana lend are demoralizing in
the extreme. Tbeir fruits crop out in
tbe learful increase of euicido within
our borders, and the overcrowded
halls of our insane asylums. Lcgiti
mate trouble dwarfs our bodies ; and
borrowod trouble helps to complete
our physical and mental demoraliza
tion. t'Arjf(T .fa.) Umcttt.

CL'JllSa A COLD.
The first time that 1 began toaneezo,
a friend told me to go and bathe my
feet in hot water, and go to bed. 1
did ao. Shortly alter, a friend told mo
lo got up and tako a cold shower batb.
1 did that also. Within an hour another
friend told me it w as policy to food a
cold and starve a fever. 1 had both;
so 1 thought it bust to till up the cold,
and let the fever Btnrvo awhile, in
a case of this kind 1 seldom do things
by halves ; 1 ate pretty heartily. 1
conlerred my custom upon a stranger
who had just opened a restaurant on
Courtland street, near tbe hotel, tbat
morning, paying him ao much for a
full meal. He waited near me in re
spectful silence until 1 had finished
feeding my cold, whon bo inquired
whether people about New York were
much afflicted with odids.', J told bim
1 thought ibcy were. He then went
out and I took iu bit sign. 1 startod up
towaid tho office, and on the wulk en
countered another bosom friend, who
told mo that a quart of warm salt
water would come oa near curing a cold
as anything in tbe world. 1 bardly
thought 1 bad room for it, but 1 tried it,
anyhow, the result was surprising.
I believe I threw up my immortal
soul. Now, us 1 givo my experience
only lor the bcnelit ot those ot my
friends who aro troubled with this dis
temper, 1 feel that they will see the
propriety ot my cautioning tlictn
against following such portion ol il as
proved inemcienl witb me ; and act
ing upon this conviction 1 warn thorn
against warm aalt-wator. It may boa
good enough remedy, but 1 think it ia
rather too sovore. If I had another
cold in tbe bead, and there was no
courso Jut L mo lo take either an
earthquake or warm salt-water, 1
would lake my chances on the earth
quake. Alter this, everybody in the
hotel became interested ; and 1 took
all sorU ot remedies hot lemonade,
cold lemonade, peppor-lea, boneset,
stowed Quaker, hoar bound syiup, on
ions and loat-sugar, lemons and brown
sugar, vinegar uud laudanum, lice bot
tles fir balsam, eight bottles cherry
pectoral, und ten bottles of Uncle Sam s
remedy ; but all without ctlect. One
ol the prescriptions given by an old
lady was well, it was dreadful. She
inixud ducolion composed of molasses,
catnip, peppermint, aquafortis, turpen
tine, kerosene, and various otherdrugs,
and instructed mo to tako a wiiicglitsa
tul of it every fifteen minutes. 1 never
took but ono dose ; that was enough.
1 had to take to my bed. and remain
their two entire days. When 1 felt a
little belter, moro things wore recom
mended. I was desperate, and willing
to tako anything. Plain gin waa
recommended, and then gin und mo
lasses, then gin and onions, 1 took all
three. 1 deluded no particular result,
however, except that I bad acquired a
breath like a turkoy-buzzard, and bad
to change my boarding place. I had
nevor refused a remedy yet, and it
seemed poor policy to commence tboa ;
tberelore 1 determined to take a sheet
bath, though 1 had no idea wbat sort
of an arrangement it was. It was ad-
ministered at midnight, and tbo weath
er was frosty, ily back and breast
were stripped ; ami a sheet, (lucre ap
peared to bo a thousand yards of it,)
soaked in ice-water was wound around
meuiitil 1 rose m bled a swab foracnlum
biad. It is a cruel expedient. When
the chilly rag touches one's warm
sh, it makes him start with a sudden
violence, and gasp for breath, just as
men do in the death agony, lllro.e
the marrow in my bones, and stopped
the beating ot heart. 1 thought my
time bad come. When 1 recovered
Irom this, a friend ordered tho appli
cation of a mustard plaster to my
breast. I believe that would have
cured me effectually, if it bad not been
tor young Ulemena. Wen 1 went to
bed, I put tbo mustard plaster where 1
cnuid reach it when 1 should be ready
forit nut young Clemens got hungry
in tbe night and ate it up. I never
saw any child have such an appetite
1 am confident that be would have
eaten me it 1 had been healthy.

A LOST VIAMOXD ItlXd. I
Ou tho 4th of June, ISTj.Rcv.TIios. !
Guard, ol Baltimore, in company witb
his wifo ami child, was passing over,
tho l'biladclphia und Uric Railroad, en
routo lo Hamilton, Cumula, where bo
had an engagement to preach. Mrs.
Guard was tho owner of a very line
diamond ring, valued at about tllOO,
and in order to please her child had
placed it upon her finger. In the
meantime the child was eating an or
ange, and whilo in the act of throwing
tbe peel out of thenar window, a short
dislanco abovo Susquehanna, tho ring
slipped off her finger und went out
also. The train was moving rapidly
and there seemed to bo no hope of re
covering the last treasure. Tho pa
rents wore moie or less excited over
their loss, which attracted the atten
tion of Mr. Hiram R. Rhoads, who
was in tho car. lie at once inquiicd
tho cause of tbe trouble and was in
formed bow the valuable ring hud been
lost. Ah soon ns the train reached
Jersey Shore station Mr. Rhode in
formed the operator of the loss, and
directed him to return to tho place in
dicated and make diligent search, lie
did as directed, and continued tbo
search till six o'clock thut overling
without finding the ring, when be re
ported tho result to Mr. Rhoads at
the oillco in Ibis city, and he at once
telegraphed lo Mr. Guard, fit Niagara.
The search, however, was kept up by
Mr. Rhoads for ten or twelve days,
and ovary inch ot tbo ground was
carefully examined, but no trace of the
treasure could be lonnd, and the search
was mially abandoned, lime rolled
away. Jlr. tmaru Bpent two years as
pastor of a church at Hamilton, when
he went to California, where bo re
mained about thrco years, pursuing
his profession as a minister. His wile
still mourned the loss of her valuable
ring, and all hopes of recovering it had
boen abandoned. Mr. Guard bud, how
ever, inlormed Mr. Thompson, general
manager, of his loss, who iu turn oom
municalcd with tbe General Superin
tendent of tho Philadelphia and Krio
Uailroad. Ho hud implicit faith in the
word itntl honesty ot Mr. Kboads and
resented all imputations on his charac
ter us a failblul and reliable man,
whose word could be implicitly de
pended on. As tho years rolled away
the circumstance bad almost boon for
gotten. Mr. Guard was transferred to
the Baltimore Conference again, and
is about to take up bis residence In
hat city as pastor ot the church at
Mount Vernon Place. On Friday night
Inst, about 1 1 o'clock, it was ienrned
that a valuublo ring had been offered
to a jeweler in this city by a luborcr.
Inquiries were nt once made, when it
was ascertained that tho icwelor had
given a watch and chain valued at !ti&
lor it. Further investigation resulted
in finding tbo man, a Hack man, utSus
queiiui.no, who bud offered the ring.
lie at once staled the circumstance ol
finding a ring about five wecksngo, as he
was engaged at his work on the rail
road truck, when he at oneo returned
to the lewder, handed over the watch
and chain, and the ring was returned,
and is now in the bands ot the rail
road ofllcors. It was found by the
side of the track about three hundred
feet west of Charles Stewart's farm,
above Susquehanna, where it bud lain
tor about five years. 1 be owner will
be made glad by receiving it In a few
days, alter having no doubt, long since

IS HIS DOMESTICATION POSSIIII.R ? A
LATE EXPERIMENT.
The domestication of the common
partridge has always excited much in
terest among naturalists, and its possi-
bility baa been frequently asserted and
as ollen denied. Cases trc alleged
where they have become partially
urn, but ill the course ,nt lime their
original instincts asserted themselves
and tbey reverted to tho habitt ot the
untamed onus. Wo cannot remember
a single instance where the experiment
bas been tried under tbe most luvora
bio conditions, or where it bas gone
beyond a single attempt. Tbe expert
mentor has generally contented him-
self with onoeflorl. and when this was a
partial, or, more likely, a total failure,
tho impossibility of reclaiming Rob
White and his dame bas been loudly
proclaimed. We bare alwaya held the
partridge is as susceptible of being re
claimed from his present condition as
any other birds turkeys, geese and
ducks for instance.
A caso has just come to our notice
which more than ever convinces us
thi" cun he done. Soveral Summers
Ii- ci a r':i...l.. ..r it. T I
ago Mr. S. S. Gibble, of Mt. Joy, Lnn
caster county, found tho nest of a par
tridge, containing fifteen eggs. De
termined to make an attempt to do
mesticate these birds he look them
home and placed them under a ben.
lie made bis first mistake at the very
outset by putting them under a Brahma
to incubate. The size ol the eggs and
ot tho ben was of course altogether
disproportionate. Still the was fortu
nate enough to break none of them,
and in due timo a family of fifteen of
these altractivo and lively birds made
their appearance. A grassy plot was
selocted for a nursery, and a pen six
teen feet squaro was made. This was
made perfectly tight ut the ground
and tor some beighlh above it, lender-
ing escape impossible, ut least until
they acquired the use of tboir wings.
But tho mistake of solccting a heavy
hen to bring up these birds soon bo-
camo manifest. Ono after itnothcr of
tho protty things had its life tramped
out by tho heuvy feet of its foster-1
mother, until only four of them ro-
mnined. Thesv grew until they ut-

Unfortunately, however, the cold and
windy weather of Winter brought a
covey of wild birds to tho barn, and
these, coming into friendly relations
witb tho trio of tame ones, had such a
seductive influence upon them that,
when the strangers went away when
the mild weather of Spring came
along, thoy carried witb tbem two out
of the three remaining birds. This
one continued to cat with tbe lions in
the barn-yard and roost with them in
tbe trees until the leafy month ol June
came, when, no doubt, the promptings
of nature ao wrought upon tho com-

INVF.STIOATIONH IN I'ROORESS BY THE
rZKaSYLTANIA RAILROAD COMPANY.
The enhject of color blindness, which
has attracted a great deal of attention
of late, not only Irom physicians but
from ruilroud officers, lo whom it has
a practical us well as a scientific inter
est, is likely to receive fresh illustra
tion from tho experiments undertaken
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa
ny. It was to ho expected tbat Ibis
great organization the acknowledged
model of a well-managed railroad
would not neglect to avail itself of the
accumulating store of scientific knowl
edge upon so important a subject.
When it is remembered that the lives
of hundreds of passenger may depend
upon tho certainly with which an en
gineer or fireman can recognize tho
signals displayed before him, and fur
ther that many persons are known to
be incapable of distinguishing one
color from another or determining the
form of an object at any considerable
distnhee Irom their eyes, it Is a fhatter
ol wonderment that tbo importance of
an optical examination ot tbeir oin

railroad officers. The Pennsylvania

A FIXE SERMOX "SMASHED."
Of late tho practico of spiritualizing
text ol Scripture and giving them a
meaning foreign to that intended by
tho inspired writer bas been considers
bly ou tho increase in certain pulpiti.
This stylo of preaching is not always
a safe one. Some timo ago, nway out
in the country, a very clover young
preacher, who had just before gradu
ated wilh high honors from ouo of the
theological schools, preached a sermon
from tho words : "Then, fearing lest
they ahould fall upon rocks, they cast
four anchors out ot th stern and wish
ed for tho day." Said the young
preacher: "Tbe dhip represents tho
Church. The four anchors are faith,
hope, love and prayer. Christians are
the crow. The sea represents tho
great ocean of lite. ' Tbe storms thai
prevailed are the trials to wbieb we are
incident here; and tho Island of Mcliu,
w here all arc escaped safe to land, means
Heaven." Ho dwelt with becoming
fervency on the importance of easting
out tho anchors, faith, hope, love and
prayer; the necessity ot abiding in tho
ship in order lo be saved , and ihe con
solation to bo found in tbe fact that
not a hair of the bead should bo hurt,
but that they tbe members of tho
Church should all reach tb shore in
safely. Tho preacher concluded by
asking an aged preacher, whom be bad
invited into tho pulpit out of rcsport
to bis gray hairs, to close the meeting
witb a few remarks. The old brother
arose and placed bis hand on lb young
theologian's bead, aa if giving hiiu a
phrenological examination, and pro
ceeded in his plain, uneducated style,
substantially as followt :
"My young brother,you have preach
ed us a mighty party discourse to-day ;
but I'm a ieurd yon've mado some aw
1 u I big mistakes. You said that the
ship meant tho Church. If thal'l so,
-wo haven't got any Church now, for
the ship was all smashed to piocea and
destroyed. Y oa aleosuid that tne lour
Anchors were lailh, hope, love and
prayer. It Ibat a ao, we haven I got
any faith, bone, love and prayer in the
Church, as tbey have been east out.
And you aay that Christiana are the
orew. If that's so, they are a mighty
bloodthirsty set, for they wanted to
kill Paul. You tell oa that the Island
ol Mclita meant Heaven. Well, if that'
true, Heaven must be a mighty snaky
place, aa a anake bit Paul as toon as
be landed."
Il ia staled as a fact that that young
preacher has never hero known ty
preach that "pnrty" discourse again
in that region of country.
Lit Girui be Giria One of the
crying evils of tho timoa is the tenden
cy end disposition of girls to got thro'
girlhood hurriedly and gel into woman
hood, or rather into young ladyhood,
without waiting to enjoy th beaulilul
season nt girlhood. Speaking on this
point, Bishop Morris says:
"Wait patiently, my dear children,
through the whole period ol your girl
hood. Uo not alter woman boon ; lot
it come to yon. hocp out of public
view. Cul'.ivato relirvmenl and mod
esty. 1 bu cares and responsibilities of

they come you will meet them, 1 trust,
