The Best and Most Effectual in Use.
AT.MKROUS patoni- have been issued and various
IN improvements made on Safety Bridles, bat here i

tented by Joseph G. Ilatnes i.t this p'nee is superioi
to any yet offered, combining loatnr--* of siniplioi'y
and power in guiding ami surging a horse or horse, j
which no other possesses. The e-.-ential feature i f j
tins patent is in providing the driving r> m with shift- l
lug hearings, which form ih • puds of atlaehinent 1
between the rein and bit rings, and thus net upon the j
hit directly, wncn casv and steady driving will eon- i
trol the arum il. hut when it n quins a more severe
application of Fie hit. said bearing- leave the bit rings ;
and give way to tie- straps t-< which they may he at
tached. This is nil done hy the regular driving line,
no extra one being r- quired which might to satisfy
every person of the great siip< riciity <d tins mven- !
tion to any other.
The following certificates from v..11 known gentle
men, some of who n have had tun -h expeneiu-- with i
horses will show the estimation in which this bridle ;
is held :

POET 3R, "ST _
Keaulilul Siatinienf.
There's many a gem unpolished
And many a star unknown —
Jl.xny a bright bud perished,
Neglected and alone —
When had a word been spoken,
In a Uiiuily. gentle tone.
The bud had bloomed unbroken,
The gem had graced a throne.
Then O ! scorn not the lowly,
Nor do mem any wrong,
Lest thou crush an impulse holy,
Or blight a soul of song.
Tim Vacant Sent.
I look around my class to-day,
seid faces there I meet.
Whose tearful glances often turn
To one still vacant seat.
I look within my heart 10-day,
Oppressed with bitter care.
Its saddened beatings seem to say,
.4 place is vacant there.
I miss the pressure of a hand,
The glistening of an eye.
For one. the youngest ot' our band,
H as not too yonn'j to die.
And yet there's gladness in my heart
Bamrfiing distrust;
For she, so willing to depart,
Was not too-young to trust.
She trusted in the Saviour's blood;
She worshiped at his feet:
1 know. 1 feel, that near her God
She lias a joyful seat.
And as I look to heaven to-day,
1 look with trusting prayer,
\V hile answering echoes seem to say,
Her seat's not vacant there.

MISCELLANY.
SPEECH OF
ov. joai.t w. Genu,
011 Assuming the Duties of President of
the State Temperance Convention.
Governor Geary on accepting the posi
tion of Temporary President of the Tem
perance Convention, held at llarrisburg,
on Tuesday of last week, delivered the fol
lowing well timed address:
Ladies and gentlemen of the Convention:
I Allow citizens: I rise not for tiie purpose
of addressing you at length on this occa
sion. I wili not insult the distinguished
and brilliant minds around me, by at
tempting to address you unprepared. But
as you have seen proper to select me as
your temporary presiding officer, I rise
more to thank you than make a speech.
When 1 look upon this assemblage and
contemplate its object, many thoughts
rush upon my mind. 1 see here luinis
ti-rs of the < to.-pe', mem tiers of the legal
profession, intellectual men—tutors of the
popular mind, from every section of the
State, and I am happy to greet you. Shall
we inquire why you have eonie here? It
lias certainly been for no seltisii object. —
Some noble impulse has doubtless guided
you, and I feel that our cause is a truly
noble one.
You come not with arms and martial
weapons. You come in time of peace to
set a grand example for the young men of
the country. You come in the cause of
temperance. (Applause.) You do not
propose to gain your object by forcible
mean's, but to snatch our brethren from
t he dangers that surround them ; and that
by reason and example.
Why, my friends, we have just passed
through live years of war. Several hund
red thousand of our li iends have laid down
t heir lives, and hundreds of thousands are
maimed for life. They met the foe in the
tield and conquered him, and we now per
ceive a vast army engaged in another war
fire. 31 ore than half a million of our fel
low-countrymen are engaged in it, and
tin; enemies they are lighting are them
selves. Now, we have come here to-day
to rescue them from so baleful a fight—to
aid and assist them against the fell de
stroyer, King Alcohol. (Applause.)—
Win.'# we see so many of our fellow citi
zens daily going down to a grave as igno
ble as it is horrible, it is a noble impulse
which prompts us to rescue them from
themselves.
We are daily doing our duty to our
maimed and crippled braves and devising
plans for their maintenance and comfort,
hut those gallant men would gladly see
their friends and protectors distributing a
portion of their sympathies and attentions
among the millions who are injuring
their health, prospects and reputation by
the excessive use of liquor.
What is it that tills our asylums! What
is it that tills our prisons? Our alms
houses? Intemperance! Three-fourths
of the inmates of our institutions for fee
ble-minded children owe their sad condi
tion to inebriate parents, thus verifying
the Divine sentence, saying that the sins
of tiie father shall he visited upon the
children.
For ray part, I do not deserve much
credit for being a temperance man. I have
been temperate from ray youth up. (Ap
plause.) In all ray life I think I have
never used, medicine or otherwise, a quart
in all, of spirituous liquors. (Cheers.) —
Wlidn a boy I saw the effects of drunken
ness. At seven years I resolved that I
never would be a drunkard, and I never
have been one. I never acquired an ap
jietite for drinking; but I have a heart
full of sympathy and compassion for those
who do drink.
I will tell you more: Having passed
through very exciting scenes and periods
in ray life, I have been able togo through
an extended experience without even an
apparent necessity for an alcoholic stimu
lus. (Applause.) Called to govern a large
and wild district upon tiie Pacific coast, I
found no necessity there for the use of ar
dent spirits. I passed through the war of
Mexico and of the Rebellion without it.
I was nominated (and you will pardon me
for this personal digression) to till the gu
bernatorial chair of the Keystone State;
hut 1 did not, thank God! buy my nomi
nation by giving men that which destroys
the body and soul. (Cheers.) Though
the canvass was exciting it was conducted
on temperance principles, strict and pure,
and at ray inauguration, I am happy to
say no whiskey was used. (Cheers.) A
new administration has just commenced,
and I promise you that l ean and will per-
Vol. LVII. No. 10-
form my duties without the use of intox
icating drink. (Cheers.
Let us goforward, encouraging and pro
tecting the weak, to break down the dom
ination of strong drink in our State. We
are encouraged by void's front the capi
til of the nation. To-day I have the glo
rious news to announce that thai. Ulysses
S. Grant is about to become a Sou of Tem
perance. (Cheer upon cheer.) With a
full knowledge of the activity and useful
ness of that Order, and observing so many
of its representatives in my presence, I
deeui it a pleasure to tender to you a hear
ty welcome to this convention at the cap
ital of our State, and to say to you in the
language ol' your beautiful ritual, "Hail
Sous of Temperance, and be that name
thy Glory and thy Shield." Let us go
forward in the good cause. You have the
Congress of the United States, and the
State administration with you. Let all
the people join in the glad chorus of a re
deemed Commonwealth and nation. Let
our course be upward and onward, until
all the people shall rejoice, " the morning
stars sing together, and the sons of God
shout for joy." (i miueuse applause.)
liev. Dr. Torrenee arose anu said: For
the inauguration of a Governor of Penn
sylvania without the use of rum, I pro
pose three cheers. (Given with a will.)
A I'reseiita.tiou Speech.
On Friday, February 22d, the anniver
sary of the birth of Gen. Washington, the
State authorities formally presented to the
city of Philadelphia the " I)eclaration-of-
Independenco-Table" and the "Hancock
Chair," to be placed in Independence Hall.
The presentation speech was made by
Hon. L. W. Hall, and the reception speech
by Mayor McMichael. Other speeches
were made, but we have only room for the
SPEECH OF MR. HALL.
Honored and respected Sirs, Mayor of
J'trUadeJphia, Gentlemen of the Select
and Common Council of the Corpora
tion of Philadelphia :
1 have been requested by the General
Assembly of Pennsylvania, acting thro'
a committee appointed by the Senate and
House of Representatives, to present the
! Corporation of the city of Philadelphia
the chair in which John 1 laucock sat, and
the table on which our venerated fathers
so many years ago signed our Declaration
of Independence. The object of this pre
sentation on the part of the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, is that these venerated and
holy relies may be deposited for safe keep
ing in old Independence Ilall.
It is not necessary, sirs, that I should
refer to their history ; it is not necessary
that I should more than refer to the fact
that these relics were temporarily loaned
by the Provincial Assembly of Pennsyl
vania to the Continental Congress when
they were holding their deliberations in
Philadelphia; that the Provincial Assem
bly resumed their possession when Con
gress removed to New York. When the
capital of the State was removed to Har
risburg these articles were taken along.—
There they have been from that time
down to this. That chair has been the
seat, almost all the time, of the Speaker
of the Houseof Representatives; and this
table has occupied a conspicuous place in
the public library of the State. The Leg
islature of Pennsylvania thought it was
tit and proper that on this day, the anni
versary of the birth of the Father of our
country, in this place, in this sacred room
—this room more loved by Americans
than any one spot on the habitable globe
—this room, with all its happy associa
tions of tile past, with all its holy associa
tions of the present—that here and now,
In Independence Ilall, these articles should
he placed in trust to remain forever.
Is it necessary, Mr. Mayor, that I should
refer to the hand of patriots who stood
around John Hancock, and who sat around
this table? Is it necessary that I should
refer to the Declaration they enacted and
adopted? Is it necessary that I should
refer to the struggle that followed—that
struggle that tried men's souls, that strug
gle that ended in making America free?
[Applause.] Hancock, the affluent citi
zen, the accomplished statesman and ora
tor, and popular idol, as with bold hand
he signed his name to that venerable doc
ument! His name alone is sulfleient to
recall to us his services to his country.—
Then a nation was horn, and the influ
ence of that nation has been most happy
from that day down to this. [Applause.]
Philadelphia should have these holy
j relics; she should preserve them well; so
! that in the future lovers of liberty coming
| here may come as pilgrims to a sacrea
I shrine to pay homage to this holy place.
I [Applause.]
May we not hope that as these relics
are preserved, the principles they repre
sent —the principles of religious and civil
liberty—may be preserved and our nation
ality made perpetual ? The city of Phila
delphia! fitting home for Independence
Hall; fitting place to put such relics as
these! What city in the United States
has so honored herself and so aided in pre
serving this land as the city of Philadel
phia? [Applause.] What city, and what
public and private citizens of what city
have contributed so largely of their means,
and have raised so many regiments and
supported them when in the field, as did
Philadelphia during the trying time of
the republic? [Applause.] What city
! so kind to the soldiers iu the field ? What
j city established such places for their com
fort as they passed to and from the battle
fields of the rebellion 1 Proud is the State
; of her city, as she is proud of this hall. —
On behalf of the Legislature, in trust, we
deposit these relics, well satisfied that this
is the time and this is the place they
should be thus deposited. [Applause.]
Parsing Extraordinary. —The follow
ing is said to have occurred in a school
not a hundred miles from London;
Teacher: 44 W hat part of speech is egg?"
Boy (hesitating) 44 Noun, sir."
Teacher: " Is it masculine, feminine or
neuter?" Boy (looking sharp:) "Can't
say, sir, till "its hatched." Teacher:—
44 Well then, my lad, can you tell me the
j case?" Boy (quickly:) 44 * Oh, yes, its the
shell, sir."
