We're talked about thee mony a day
And wondered when you'd bo 'hie wey

Wa welcome yoo from Rootla't land
And reach to you a brither'e hand:

"I'm Seotuh In wit, though Kogllab bora ;
"And, Walter, it may yet appear

While kinge and queeoa, a noble throng,

And all the pageant that wai there,
Seemed floating in the moonlit air.
Aye! Beauty, Joalouay and Pride,

While Amy Kobiart aee toed to a tend

ABJECT POVERTY. .
From the Philadelphia Record.
In the little two-story tenement No.
1802 Soulb Juniper street, in abject
poverty, rcnidos Jonathan 11. Green,
onto notorious but now reformed
gambler, with his family, conaisting ol
a wife and seven children, the ronntrost
3 weeks and tbo eldest 14 yours of ago.
jur. uruuii in uiiiimmi erijipica in nis
right arm, and one ol his children lies
stitrering with typhoid fever. The
bouse- ia almost entirely dostiluto of
furniture, and even beloro the present
oold snap the family had not sutlicient
dou clothing to keep tbem trom actual
sulfering. in the man ol muscular
frame, gaunt with want, a well dovel
oped head covored with a fair suit of
iron-gray hair, a high iorchoad with
heavy brows, bonealh which gleam a
pair ui cow, gray eyes, a laco covered
with whiskers, but destitute of a mus
tache, and in manners self possessed
and arTablo, one would recognize only
in a faint degroe the gambler of forty
years ago, who at tbat time little
dreamed, amid tbo wealth and luiury
with which he was thon surrounded,
of the oxtrome poverty with which be
now struggles.
"I never smoked a cigar in my life,
never knew tho taste of tobacco and
never touchod a drop of liquor." said
Mr. Green, as he began rapidly to re
count, oia evenuui History, and added :
"1 promised my mother when a boy 6
years of ago, aa 1 stood by her dying
bed, never to drink a drop of liquor,
and t have never broken that promise."
Mr, Green was born in Kentucky In
the year 1813, and hia grandfather was
a cousin ot Uoneral JNaluaniol Greene ;
of Revolutionary fame. Out of consid
eration for bis family name ho drop
ped the final "e" in penning hit auto
graph. At the age of sixteen years he
entered upon a lile the most eventful
ever known among the gambling fra
ternity. In the pursuit of hit profes
sionfor he was a prolossional cam-
bier Green was one of the must suc
cessful men who ever touched a card,
and at the limo of bia rotor m turn waa
worth over 150,000, nearly every cent
of which went in the way of restitution
to tboso who had been his victims.
Green was 28 Tears of aire when he
abjured hia profesaion, and resolved,
come what might, never to touch a
card again. The eircnnialances which
led to this resolution art an index to
the man's character.
Ho was travelinir from St. Louis to
Cincinnati by boat It was Sunday,
and oa the boat was a Methodiat oler-
gym an, wbo bad dittrihutod tome re
ligious tracts oo the Ublot and tolteot
in the main aaloon, where Green was
sitting. Soon alter the clergyman had
laid the tracts od the table eoople oi
gamblers walked up, one remarking to
CLEARFIELD, PA.,
tho otbor : "Cotno on, I'll give you
another back., right bore, at the same
time brushing the tracts on tho floor,
and throwing down in their place a
pack ot cards. Green witnosaed the
operation, and at onco became indig
nant at tho rough manners of the gam-
blora. Stepping up to .the table ho
coolly picked up the dock of cards and
threw them through tho window into
tho Ohio rivor, and thon picked up the
tracts ana placed tbem on the tabic.
turning to the men wboworosoamaz
ed at this Intrusion that their wits fairly
forsook thorn, be informed them if
tbey wan tod to play cards to go somo
wbura else and doit; that tboso tracts
could not bo removed from tho tablo.
Ho was known as a desperato charac
ter, and tho gambler thought it best
not to attempt to resent tho insult.
Tbon Greon went to tho ministor and
askod him if ho would preach for them
U'U l,.l i:. mt.
u uu uu uu uuuiuiiuu. 00 nun siur
readily assented, and the paBSongers of
tnonoat particularly thoso who know
Green as a professional gambler woro
surprised to find him going over tho
boat drumming up an audience. Hut
Green succeeded, and he says: "Wo
bad a pretty good sermon, 1 guess ;
though I don't know, for 1 was stand
ing guard ovor tbo 'Social Room' to
keep tho gamblers from disturbing the
meeting." No attempts at disturbance
wcro mado, howovor, and after the
meeting was ovor Green retired to his
stato room. Hero, he snvs, he bci'un
to think over bis naBt career, tho
shame he had brought on the name of
bis mother, and tho degradation ho had
reduced himself to in tho estimation of
the honest and moral portion ot tho
community, though he had an abun
danoe of wealth. In that stato room,
sitting thero alone, he said aloud : "I'll
never touch another card to gamble"
Thirty-nine years have passed away
since that time, and tho notorious gam-
oior, tnougn now m an actual stato of
starvation, with a fcoblo wife, half clad
and half famished children, himscll
brokon down, has novor even used tho
expression "I'll boton you" in all thoso
years. Though ho has no money, his J
knowlcdgo of cards would easily placo
mm ooyona want II bo would lend
himself to loss dextoroua manipulators
of tho pack. At tho time ho mado this
resolve ho mado full restitution to tho
oxtcnt ot his means of all ho had
wronged his victims out of. llo docid
ed to writo a book exposing gambling
anu to leoturo wuile no sold bis books.
sinco tbat timo ho has written four
books, which aro published by Peter
son, ol this city, entitled "Gambling
Kxposod," "Tho Gamblor'6Lifo,""Tho
Secret Band of llrothers" and "Tbo
Reformed Gambler." Mr. Green has
lectured in every town of conscouonce
in tho United States, exposing tho
tricks of tho profession, llis penitence
was so sincore and his seal so great in
this crusado that ho met with crent
uppumuun at tno national and state
capitols and in tho woBt, whoro ho was
too woll known, llo howovor. ncrso-
verod in his work,sometimcs not making
enough to pay expenees, and at no
time making more than a living. Ho
was mainly instrumental in procuring
lows against gambling in this Stato,
Now York, Maryland. Kentucky and
Ohio, and it is greatly to his exertions
that tho vice has been compelled to
seek dark placos in most of our cities.
nut lor tho Rind chanties ol bis neigh
bors ho would bo absolutely destituto
of food, clothing and sholtcr. "For
tho last throo weeks," said the reform
ed gambler, in concluding his inter
view, "my family of nlno have subsisted
on less than SO cents a day."
.s.voir.
"Oh I mammal Is it snowing?"
"Yes, darling ; it has just begun."
"Isn't it nice, mamma; you know I
wanted to livo to hear tbo sleigh bells
again."
"llush, my child, mamma will not
let you die. No, darling.you bIioII havo
many siolgh ridos yot beloro you die.
"n not. m.Tir mamma if T a..IJ
have just ono it would bo so nice."
It was last 1 ucsuity, and a little irirl
who bad soon the snow come and iro
nine times, lny dying in hor btimblo
home on St. Antoino street. Wooks
and weeks the fever had burned with
in hor, and its fierce fire showed itself
in the deep, blue eyes and the lovely
innocent face. Tho mother, an ever-
constant watch at the sufferer's pillow,
had novor given up hope, but tho child
with that knowledge which seems to
como to all before death, knew tbat
sho would nevor join her merry ploy-
mines over on tno scnooi ground. Hoy
by day as tho fovcr burned she bad
wished for tboanow locomo, and when
tho white flakes tell tho other day tho
loving mother changed the child's posi
tion mat sno migni, unwarned, catch
tho first glimpso of tho floooy snow.
The child gazed out into the flurried
air long and earnestly, and thon when
tho pain made hor writho, she turned
an appealing look to tho sad facod
mother and said :
"Rut, mamma, I don't bolievo 1 shall
ovor havo another sleigh rido. Now
promise if this snow is on tbo ground
when 1 dio you'll havo my Collin car
ried to the grave on a sleigh."
"Why, my sweet child, why do you

ADAMS ASD JEFFEllSOX.
POLITICAL REMINISCENCES OF I.ONU A(10.
' Tho administration of John Adams
was fur from boing a success. Th
alien and sedition laws, enacted during
that term, hare caused a blot to rest
upon it, which time can notollaco. It
punished men for being foreigners and
gavo tbo President tbo right to end
them out of tho Country, because ol
tho suspicion of not boing right in
their politics. Ine sedition law pun
mliod as a high crime, tho writinir or
printing or speaking disrespectfully of
congress, tho I'rcsuicni or otlior high
oiiicials, and tho federal Judges, sit
ting in judgment upon these "sedition
iBts," so construed the law that no ono
indicted could escape. For a letter
written and dutod beforo tho law was
passed, and printed in a distant nows
:iaper beloro anyone in tbo Stale of
V ermont. where the lotter was pub
lished, bad knowlcdgo that it had, cr
would bo passed, llatbow Lyon, an
anti-Federal Congressman from Vor-
mont, was indicted, tried, Ifnod and
imprisoned. These laws, which in fact
expired by limitation the day Mr, Ad
oms ceased to be President, roused
party spirit almost to frenzy, and lrom
the date of tboir passago the doom of
tn o i' oderal party was staled.
Dunncr tbo lattor part ol Adams
administration a law was passed cre
ating twenty-four new judges of tbo
United status Courts, ibe bill cre
ating this batch of judges intended
and the bill made tbem life oflicers
lingored in Congress until after the
fact of Adams's defeat and Jelferson's
election as President was known, llo-
twoen tho timo this fact was known,
12th ol December, 1800, and tbo 4th
of March following, sevoral valuable
offices became vacant, one ot which
was that of Chief Justieo, and wilb
these twonty four judgos nowly crea
ted had to be filled'.
To tho Chief Justiceship Mr. Adams
unpointed, and tho Senate confirmed,
John Marshall, on tho 31st of January,
alter it was known that Jefferson was
elected President, although Marshall
held at tbo tune, and continued to bold
until Jelferson's inauguration, tho of
fioo of Secretary of State. All the ap
pointments wore Federal, of cnurso,
and undor the circumstances, Jefferson
was doeply indignant. Writing to
General Knox, wbo hid written to
congratulate bim on his olection, Mr.
Jefferson, in speaking of tboso appoint
ments, said tbat Mr. Adams know he
was not making them for himself, but
tor bis successor, and hence Jetlerson
characterized them as on outrage on
decency, which should not havo effect,
in tho life appointments, which are
immovable; "but as to the others,
tiio newly-elected President said, "I
consider the nomination as nullities.
and will not view tho persons so up
pointed as oven candidates for their
otflco, much less as possessing it by
any title meriting respect. And ev
ery man so appointed in ofllco whon
Jefferson was inaugurated was prompt
ly romovod. 1 he twenty-lour judges.
oonfirirTcd, somo of them, it is said, by
tho Senato on the night of tho 3d ol
March, could not bo removed bocauso
their office was life tenure ; but, upon
tho accession of Mr. Jeliorson, and
with him a Democratic Congress, tho
law was repealed, and "Mr. Adams's
midnight judges, as they woro called
bad but a short lease of powor. A talo
told, and novor denied, and for this
reason bas becomo history, says tbat
up to tho lost hour of midnight, at
bich timo tho administration ot Ad
ams ended, tho Socretary of Stato
(Marshall) was engaged in signing
commissions as he got news of tho
senate confirming tho appointments,
somo ot whom had been sent to the
Senato as lato as nino o'clock that
ovening. Wlnlo thus engaged com
missioning officials for a now adminis
tration, Secretary Marshall and bis
clork, at twelve o'clock midnight, woro
startled by an apparition in tho person
of Levi Lincoln, ol Massachusetts,
whom Jefferson had selected as his
Attorney General. Tbo conversation
between Lincoln and Marshall doubt
less rotated hy Lincoln himself is
given as follows:
"Lincoln 1 havo been ordered by
Mr. JofTorson to take possession ot this
omco and us papers.
"Marshall Why, Mr. Jefferson has
not been qualified I
"Lincoln Mr. Jefferson considers
himself in tho light of an exocutivo.
bound to tako charge ot tho papers of
tho Govornmont until bo is qualified.
"Marshall (taking out his watch)
nut H is not yet li o clock I
"Lincoln (taking a watch from his
pockot and showing it) This is the.
President's watch, and it notes tho
hour.
Seeing that Jefferson was master of
the situation, and casting a woeful
look on several unsigned commissions
spread on tbo tablo, Marshall left bia
midnight visitor in possession. Kola-
ting tho incidont in after years. Chief
Justica Marshall laughingly said that
Lincoln allowed bun to pick up nolh
ing but bis hut.
Forgetting, or else remembering but
to lorgul, the conduct ol Mr. Jefferson
lour years beforo, when Adams was
inaugurated, and the graceful compli
ment paid to him in Jefferson's Vice
t'rosidontial inauguration address, the
ex President bad his carringo at tho
hito llouso at midnight and left the
city, not willing to remain wlnlo his
rival was inaugurated.
A few days before his inauguration
Mr. JofTorson, as is tho custom, called
upon Mr. Adams at tho Presidential
Mansion in ashington, whero tho
President thon resided, tho Govern
ment having been during Adams's
term, moved to Washington. Tho out
going President, although they had
been inends, accusou Mr. Jetlerson ol
visiting him to crow over his misfor
tune in being beaten fur Proaident
Of course, Mr. Jefferson denied it
his visit was intended as but a mark
of rospect. Mr. Adams could not bo
appeased, and Jcllersnn loft. It was
many yeara after before Mr. Adams
was convinced of hia error and his
want of courtesy to his old timo friend
but then successful rival. This fact,
and the belief Adams bad of the cause
ol Jefferson's visit may account for his
ruluaal to attend tho inauguration.
A federalist more bitter than Judge
Marshall was Dot to bo lound in the
daya of Adams and ultra federalism,
llo even resorted to trickery to aid his
party and his parly Irionds. Whon on
the bench, and during the remainder
ofhialifo, be seemed to throw aside
hia politics, and by common consent
Chlel Jusltoo John Marshall ia looked
upon aa among the purest and ablest
judges the oountry has produced. An
ultra federalist colore he waa a judge
yet many of bia decisions wort the re
verse of federal, and no man, in read
ing hia judicial decisions, can tell what
political principles he held.

THE BENEFACTIOXS OFT. IFE.
The Philadelphia A'reorjdilatos upon
human evonts in this way :
It was observed by Solomon, the old
Hebrew sage, that in this world all
things como alike to tall. From tho ills
of hie no man onjoys immunity, and
there it no lot which ia not lighted by
somo gleams of gladness. To every
ono oi us come joy and sorrow, eucb in
its soason, mocking the differences of
lortune and teaching by a perpetual
parable that compensation is tho one
universal law. In all our lives the
good and thoovil aro intorminglod, the
sweet and the bitter, the light and the
oarknosa; and so inscrutable is the
distribution that no man can say that,
taking all in all, ho ia happier or more
miscrublo than bis noighbor or his
neighbor than himself. There is ori-
dently no way by which ono human
boing may measure his pains or pleas
ures by tboBe of another ; foroach sen-
aruto soul is a sealed secret to all its
follows which no oxtont of aelf-rovela-tion
can disclose llowovor full and
free tho confidences and confessions ot
heart to heart, however tliorourrhlv
two friends may try, in the yearning
for sympathy which is ono ot tho
strongest instincts of our nature, to
lay bare to each other jo3-s and griefs,
thero is no common standard whereby
tho rolativo dogrco of either can bo de
termined.
It is very generally admittod that
moro outward circumstances, while
tbey are of course conducive to happi
noss or unhapnincss according to tboir
cnuractor, guarantee neither with any
certainty. Woallh docs not assure tho
one, nor power, popularity or high post
tion ; and just as truly the privation of nil
theso advantages does not nocossitato
tho other. 1'ovcrty and obscurity have
at least this offset, that tbey relievo
him who ia aubjectcd to them from
much onerous responsibility. Tho man
who moves in an humble spboro has a
ainu oi ii-oouom oi action and exemp
tion lrom espionage that aro not en
joyed by him whoso success in life
makes him oonspicuous and exposes
him to the constunt exactions and to

When wo como to compare men with

slightly upon tho material gifts of for
tuno, the seeming disparity Is still
further lessened. Somo doubtless have
a finer sensitiveness of both physical
and psychical libra than others, but
this difference has its compensation it.
the fact that a groator susceptibility to
pain is always accompanied by a keen
er and more exquisito aousibility to
pleasure. So with duller and less deli
cate organizations the lower capacity
for onjoymont is balanced hy a corre
spondingly diminished capacity for
suffering. Tho main difleronco be
tween tho stolid and the Bonsitivo man
is in tho mattor of nerves, and these
aro tho impartial instruments and min
isters to tho ono of comlort or discom
fort merely and to thoothorof intense
ecstasy or anguish ; but in cither caso
a duo irrnporlion is preserved.
Happiness is undoubtedly tho high
est earthly good, and those of lis who
ontertain a proper conception of tho
uses oi mo win diligently sock it. Hut,
wlnlo thero can be no question that it
is moro desirable to bo happy than to
bo unhappy, it is equally certain that
no who has novor been unhappy can
not adequately realizo what happiness
is. Tho great benefactions of life, such
as health, air and sunlight, can be
rightly estimated only by him who
knows what it is to bo deprived of thorn.
To him who has not experienced the
temporary loss ot those oitlmtry bless
ings, that como to all mon uliko, they
seem to bo of a negativo, or rathor
of an indifi'erent and neutral character.
Thero docs not appear to tbo man who
novor autiered lrom a day s sickness in

scll upon in the fact of not being ill
I ho restored, however, look at it in
a different way, and to such as havo

casional freedom fmm pain is an ines
timable delight. In this principlo of
reaction tbat renders the simple cessa
tion of pain of itself a pleasure, tho in
tensity of which is precisely propor
tionate to tho degree of the previous
suffering, wo may soo the operation of
that overruling law of compensation
that makes all this oven and gives to
overy individual an equivalent for the
evils ho is called upon to bear.
EX GOVERNOR SIMON SNY
DER. Ills REMAINS REPOSE IN AN UNMARKED
IIRAVE AT SEI.INSdROVE.
Most of tho visitors to the reception
room at the Executive Chamber, in tho
Capitol building, wbo havo noticed tho
pot traits in oil ot tho Governors ot
Pennsylvania from tho timo ot the
t'onns down to tho present day, have
noticed tho striking leutures ot Gov.
Simon Snyder, who occupiod tho Gu
bernatorial chair from 1808 to 1817, a
period of nine years, "during tho whole
of the second war with England."
His remains, as will be teen by tho
following paragraph clipped from the
Selinsgrovo Tribune, lie in ono of the
church yards of that borough, unmsrk
ed by monument or tablet. Tho 7'rio
tinr! says : "In tho quiot shades ol'tbo

THE CHAMPIONS.
Just now the champion it a big man.
The country couldn't get along vurv
woll without him. llo gets himself
into tho newspapers and the people
choor bim and watch his every move
ment. Everybody wants to know just
what bo is up to and what bo is going
to do next. Ho is ol more importance
than Senator Conklingin bis war-paint,
and almost as important as Private
Secretary Rogers. Most people had a
good deal rather read about bim than
wade through tho President's mossago,
and perhaps they aro not so very far
out of the way, either, llenca it is
particularly gratifying to everybody
to know that the champion is gradu.
ally gotting his reward and is being
pushod beforo tho country as a great
puuiic oeneiucior.
It pays to bo a champion. He hot
only pockets the hard-earned savings
of ibe wouldbe champion, but he finds
niinsou applauded on all sides lor do
ing something tbat no one else can do.
Tbo biggost champion just now is Han
Ian, llanlan is a Canadian. He pulls
a boat for a living, and bas pulled itso
well that ho has lelttiovurnor General
Lome clear out of sight and stands
head and shoulders above him in tho
ostimation of all Canadians. Every
timellamlan getsoutof his boat house
and paddles about on tho Thames.
here he is engagod in winning a
championship or two every other day,
tho fact is immediately telegraphed to
Canada, at a cost of fifty cents a word,
moro or less, and tho startling news is
nasnea an ever the Dominion. 1! Hait
ian raises a blister op, his left hand all
Canada grows pals and trembles wilb
fear; if tho champion has had an un
usually good night's rest,overy Kanuek
dances around just as if an atmosphere
of oxygon bad boon suddenly turned
loose in that part of tho country, llan
lan is a baromotet. Just secure bis
indications tor tho day and no calcu
lation whatever is required to settlo
tho condition of tbo peoplo until
another observation is taken. This
particular champion won a race the
other day and bis native country hasn't
ot over tnogood news yet. Yt hon at
omo ho livos on an Inland in Toronto
Bay. Ho isn't at home now, but be
will be somo timo in January, and tho
Torontonians aro already preparing to
mako him feel tho important and re
sponsible position he occupies. Tbey
aro to givo him a procession, a banquet
or two.gct tho Mayor to mako speeches
at him, present hira with tho freedom
ot tho city, and there is some talk of
building a bndgo for him to his island
homo, or at least presenting him with
a brand-new ferry-boat, enginoer and i
all. The City Council, too, wants to :
rcliove him of all taxes for lile and ,
would have done so ere this but lor
tho fact that the Mayor wasn't quite
certain that such a proceeding would
be legal, and consequently had tacked
on a clauso providing for special legis
lation on tho subject. It pays bettor
in aomo respects to bo a champion in
Canada than it docs In this Country.
Still our champions aro not unprovided
for. Thoro is Goneral Grant, for in
stance, tho champion third-termer. It
is true his race is not yot exactly won,
but novorthelcss ho has honos. At all
events ho has como in ahead of all
others in aspiring to a third term, and
that is somothing not to be overlooked.
General Grant is going to have a fund
of a quarter of a million or so raisod
lor him, and what olso ho will get no
ono can tell. Porhaps it will bo the
Sonatorship. It is true that thore are
as yet no movements in behalf of an
admiring country to ponsion off the
coampions civil sorvico rclormcr ol tbo
age, but Mr. Uoyos has undoubtedly
managed to savo somothing from his
salary of 50,000 a year arid isn't In
imminent danger of dying from starv
ation jtiRt at present. Besides, Mr.
Socretury Rogors has gained somo
uotorioty in hisscrviocand that is some
rocomponso. General Ben Butler, a
woll-known champion in almost any
direction, has by no moans been under
estimated, and if he livos long enough
ho may yet get the ofiico of Governor
of Massachusetts, tondored to him by
an admiring constituency as a slight
token oi rospoct for bis greatness. Tho
champion office-holder, Hannibal Ham
lin, ot Maine, is still in tho foreground
and will probably continuo thero for
life unless something better than a
championship turns up. This is only
a beginning in the list ot champions,
but it is enough to show their superi
ority over the rest of mankind.
Whilo most of the champions aro
thus coming to tho front, it must be
chronicled in all sadness that thero aro
still a few who have woefully been
givon tho Cold shoulder. Tho cham
pion pie eater hasn't boon heard from
for a long timo. Tbia ia a shame and

a champion long-distance walker has

there is one in existence who hails

gained some notoriety as a champion

who hasn't got his just deserts by any
means, nun it ts only a question ol
