VOL. LVI.
THE FIRST SNOW FALL
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL
The snow had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night •
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.
Every pine, and fir, and hemlock,
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was fringed inch deep with pearl.
From shads, now roofed with Carrara,
Came Chanticleer's muffled crow,
The stiff rails were softened to swan's-down—
And still fluttered down the snow.
I stood and watched by the window
The noiseless work
, of the sky,
And the sudden flurries of the snow-birds,
Like brown leaves whirling by.
I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn,
Where a little headstone stood,
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did roßins tho babes in the wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying "Father, who makes it snow?"
And I told her of the good Allfather
Who cares for us all below.
Again I looked at the snow fall,
And thought of the leaden sky
That arched o'er our first groat sorrow,
When the mound was heaped so high
I remembered the gradual patience
That fell from that oloud like snow,
Flake by flake, healing and hiding
The scar of that deep stabbed wo.
And again to the child I whispered,
"The snow that hushoth all,
Darling, the Merciful Father
Alone can make it fall."
Then, with eyes that saw not, I kissed her,
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister '
Folded close under deepening snow.
Patrick Henry's Speech against Know.
Nothingisni.
We beg the reader not to be surprised
at our caption. It is really true that Pat
rick Henry, the great revolutionary orator
and patriot, signalized his splendid career
as both orator and patriot by an eloquent
speech against one of the articles in the
creed of know-nothingism, and that one,
too, which remains as the solitary plank of
a once much vaunted national platform.—
The Speech was made soon after the close
of the revolution. During the war many
Americans had left the country and sought
refuge in Europe. Mr. Henry introduced
a bill into the Virginia Legislature author
izing them to return. For thii he was
assailed, and in his reply he discussed the
question of foreign immigration as few
could discuss it. We invite our know
nothing friends to listen to Patrick Henry
on the only, remaining plank: He speaks
as follows : [Washington Union.
The personal feelings ,of a politician
ought not to be permitted to enter these
walls. The question is a national one, and,
in deciding it, if we act wisely, nothing
will be regarded but the interests of the
nation. On the altar of my country's good
I am willing to sacrifice all personal res
entments, all private wrongs; and I flatter
myself that I am not the only man in the
House who is capable of making such a sac
rifice. We have sir, an extensive conntry,
without population; what can be a more
obvious policy than that this country ought
to be peopled I People, sir, ' form the
strength, and consitute the wealth, of a na
tion. I want to see our vast forests filled
up by some process a little more speedy
than the ordinary course of Nature. I
wish to see these States rapidly ascending
to that rank which their natural advantages
authorize them to hold among the nations
of the earth.
Cast your eyes, sir, over this extensive
country; observe the salubrity of your
.cli
mate, the variety and fertility of your
soil; and see that soil intersected by bold,
navigable streams, flowing to the East and
to the West, as if the finger of Heaven
were marking out the course of your set
tlements, inviting you to enterprise, and
pointing the way to wealth. Sir you are
destined, at some future time or other, to
become a great agricultural and commercial
people; the only question is, whether you
chose to reach this point by slow gradations,
and at some distant period, lingering on
through a long and sickly minority, sub
jected meanwhile to the machinations, in
sults, and oppression of enemies, foreign
and domestic, without sufficient strength to
resist and chastise them; or whether you
chose rather to rush at once, as it -were, to
the full enjoyment of those high destinies,
and to be able to cope, single-handed, with
the proudest oppressor of , the Old World.
If you prefer the latter course, as I trust
you do, encourage emigration; encourage the
husbandmen, the mechanics, the merchants
of the Old World, to come and settle in this
land of promise; make it the home of the skill
ful,the industrious, the fortunate, and the hap
pyas well as the asylum of the distressed;
till , up the measure of your population as speed
ily as you can bq the means which Heaven
bath placed in your power; and I :venture to
to prophesy there are those now living who
will see this favored land amongst the' most
powerful on earth; able, sir, to take care of
herself, without resorting to that policy which
is always so dangerous, though sometimes un
avoidable, of calling in foreign aid. Yes, sir;
they will see her great in arts and in arnie;
her golden harvests waving over fields of im
measureable extent, her commerce penetrat
ing the most distant seas, and her cannon si
lencing the vain boast of those who now
proudly affect to rule the waves.
But, sir, you must have men; you cannot get
along without them. These heavy forests of
valuable timber, under which your lands are
groaning, must be cleared away; these vast
riches which cover the face of your soil, as
well as those which lie hid in its bosom, are
to be developed and gathered only by the skill
and enterprise of men; your timber, sir, must
be worked up into ships to transport the pro
ductions
of the soil from which it has been
cleared; then you must have commercial men
and commercial capital to take off your pro
ductions, and find the best markets for them
abroad. Your great want, sir, is the want of
men; and these you must have, and will have
speedily, if you are wise.
Do you ask how you are to get them. Open
your doors, sir, and they will come in The
population of the Old World is full to over
flowing; that population is ground, too, by the
oppressions of the governments under which
they live. Sir, they are already standing on
tip-toe upon their native shores and I,oking
to your coasts with a wistful and longing eye;
they see here a land blessed with natural and
political advantages, which are not equalled
by those of any country upon earth; a land on
which a gracious Providence hath emptied
the horn of abundance; a land over which
peace hath now stretched forth her white wings,
and where content and plenty lie dawn at eve

• attractive than all this—they see a land in

sir, shall we, who have laid the proud British

THE WAY SHE . WON HIM
A young girl leaned from the window of a
pleasant country parlor, chatting with a fine
looking man, some ten years her senior, who
stood among the flowers below and pelted her
with rose buds still glittering with dew.
`Stop, stop, Mr. Mansfield,' she said, as she
twined a handful of flowers in her dark curls.
Vhat was that you asked me? I could not
hear well.'
'Only to desoribe your beau ideal to me, so
I may know him if we ever meet', said her .
companion, desisting from his sport, leaning
one arm upon the window sill, and gazing in
to her animated face with an admiring smile.
'Oh, that is easily done! Imprimis—he
must be young and handsome.'
'That, of course, or how could he aspire to
the love of the charming Marion . Cliffe !' re
joined her companion with a gallant bow.
'A truce to compliments, I pray you sir !
Young and handsome—so much for generality
—now I'll descend to particulars. He must
be about twenty-two—slender and finely form
ed—graceful in his movements and courteous
in his manners—and—let me see, what comes
next ?'
'Features, Marion ; eyes, hair, nose, mouth
and all the et ceteras.'
`Thank you. His features should be Gre
cian; his forehead high, and broad, and white;
his smile sweet, but melancholy; his eyes and
hair of the same hue, and that a beautiful
brown—a brown, dark in the shadow and
light in the sun.
'Something like mine, eh, Marion ? You
needn't pout, or lift your hand to strike me.—
But to speak seriously, did'nt you mean me
when you were talking? If so, just say the
word, and your ideal shall be made divinely
real, as the poet says.'
'Don't be foolish, Louis, she replied. 'Go
and look in the glass, at your Roman face,
black hair, whiskers and eyes, and see if the
description suits. No, I have no desire to
break my friend Jennie's heart, by stealing
away her wise - collegian.'
'That name silences me,' said the student
with an embarrassed laugh. But if lam not
the lucky individual, I know who is; ay, and I
know, too, that he is within twenty feet of you,
and coming nearer every moment.
Marion's eyes followed his as they looked
down the orchard path, and saw a gentleman
coming slowly towards the house, reading in
tently from a small volume in his hand. Set-
ting the roses a little more becomingly in her
curls, (for she was born a coquette,) she whis-
'Your college chum, Clinton, is it not ? The
party last night deprived me of the pleasure
of seeing him.'
'Yes, we were late, and he too tired to go
with me into the rooms, or I should have in
troduced him then. But this time is still bet
ter. The plain pink morning dress and the
rosebuds become you wonderfully, mabelle
cousin.'
`Flatterer!' She laid her white and jewel_
ed hand caressingly upon his shoulder and
turned her graceful head within the room as
if in search of something. There was. policy
in the coquette's slightest movement, and this
made that a sudden glimpse of her glorious
beauty might dazzle and astonish the dreamy
student.
Thus admonished, the apparently uncon
scious girl turned and raised her large and
beautiful eyes to his face. A rapid glance
convinced her of the truth of her cousin's as
sertion. It was a face muoh like that of the
ideal she bad pictured forth for his amuse
ment.
'Cousin Marion, let me introduce you to my
best and dearest friend, Godfrey Clinton,' said
Mansfield, with a light touch upon her arm.
'My cousin's friends are always welcome to
me,' she said, removing her hand from Mans
field's shoulders and extending it to him. He
took it with a firm, warm clasp, that thrilled
her through every vein.
'How beautiful she is !' thought the gentle
man.
I will win his heart before he leaves me,'
said the lady.
Their eyes met as he relinquished her hand.
Both blushed a little, and Mansfield turned
away to hide a smile, when he saw his friend,
- whose grave and steady aspect no woman's
smile had ever before possessed the power to
move, beneath the magnetic influence of his
cousin's handsome eyes.
'The three lingered there but a few mo
ments, before the breakfast bell rang in the
great hall. Mansfield sprang gaily through
the window and stood by his cousin's side, de
termined, as he said, to lead her to the break
fast-room though forty Clintons stood in the
way. At-this folly his friend only smiled,
and turning away, passed round the house to
gain the front entrance.
'What now, Louis?' asked Marion, as he
stood silent, looking absently from the win
dow.
`Not much, Marion, I was only .wondering
it you would win Godfrey's heart, as you have
" THAT COMMIX 18 TE6 MOST PEOISPKBAIIB WHERE OO I _ ; I) o:g -• • - 33 -1 i IP •
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 1856.
Ah ! she had no means of knowing what
you and I, dear reader, may discover—name
ly, that Godfrey Clinton, in passing by the
open windows and doors had heard the heart
less wager she had laid !
* * * * * *
The days passed by. Marion, like Godfrey,
was simply a guest at her uncle's pleasant
home, and at liberty to devote her whole time,
if she choose to do so. Much of it was pass_
ed in his company—especially the
arrival of Jennie Harrison, her dearest
friend, Mansfield's cousin, as well as his be
trothed bride, took her gallant relative from
her.
While the young lovers, absorbed in each
other, took little' heed of their friends, they
were travelling a most dangerous road togeth
er. Marion loved strong and beautiful poet
ry—the deep, musical voice of the student
read it to her in the lonely library—she
sketched—he always carried her portfolio,
and pointed out the most beautiful views—
she rode,- and he was ever by her bridle rein—
if she choose to do so, to him. Much of it
was passed in his company—especially when
he sung, and her light touch was needed upon
the piano, to make the melody complete.
And yet, all this familiar intercourse could
not make him one whit more lover-like than
he had been on that first unhappy morning.
If his eye flashed now and then, and his bos
om yearned to hold her there in an impassion
ed embrace—if his hand trembled at the light
touch of hers, or his cheek paled and flushed
at the fanning of her warm breath, she never
knew it. He was always quiet, reserved, and
rather cold—never striving to seek the vacant
place by her side, but taking it, if all circum
stances were favorable, exactly as he would
have taken any other chair, and talking to her
as he would and did talk to any other young
and pretty girl.
Marion was puzzled. For the first time in
her life she met him coldly, but he did not
seem to notice it—if she greeted him half ten
derly, he wore a sarcastic air that made her
angry ; and if, as was often the case, she tried
to pique him by a desperate flirtation with
another, his soft, brown eyes, wore a mingled
astonishment and disgust that hurt her more
than a thousand cutting rebukes from her
cousin Louis could have done. That cousin
Louis, by-the-by, would often smile mischiev
ously as he passed by her, and touch the di
amond ring upon his left hand.
Marion was proud as well as beautiful and
coquetish. Was she, the gay city belle, for
whose smiles a thousand haughty lovers had
sued in vain, to waste her time in this lonely
out-of-the-way place, simply because a per_
verse student refused to love her, in preference
to his books? She thought, with a strange
yearning, of the crowded city, and the count
less friends who would flock around her, when
it was known she had returned. She would
give up her foolish wager—present Jennie
with the diamond ring, of which she had tired,
long before—return to her city home, and in
the gayety of the coming winter, forget him
She was sitting in her room along when she
made this wise resolution and took the surest
way of keeping it, by going down into the
parlor where he was sitting at the piano, play
ing and singing. She stole in so Silently that
he did not notice her—and sitting down in a
low rocking-chair beside the centre-table,
leaned her head upon her hand, and listened.
But while her ear drank in the plaintive tones
of his exquisite voice, her eyes were bent stead
ily upon the form she could see no more—up
on the handsome haughty head, with its wealth
of bright brown eyes shining with a splendid
light—the white and symmetrical hand that
laid upon the key. One sad thought followed
another, and forgetting for a moment, that she
was not alone, she sighed audibly.
He started at the sound, and turned away
from the instrument. Marion blushed, and a
faint color stole over his white forehead.
" You, Miss Cliffe 2" he said at last, "why
should you, of all others, be sad '?"
"It w•as the sound that made me so."
She rose, and standing by the window, pul
led a Michigan rose from the vines that sha
ded it, twirled itt for a moment in her hand
and stood irresolute whether to go or to stay.
A sudden thought strung her feet—without
another look towards him, she was gone. And
the next morning, while she sipped her coffee,
the petted belle announced her early depar
ture for her city home:
It was the last morning of her stay, and she,
equipped for travelling, was seated at the pi
ano when Clinton entered to summon her to
the breakfast-table.,
" Miss Chile," he said, coldly, " t may not
see you at breakfast. I have already taken
that meal, and am about to start on a hunting
expedition. So I will say good-bye now."
' Good-bye, Mr. Clinton,' she answered,
calmly, I trust you will have a pleasant
day.'
He took the cool, steady hand she offered
in one hot and trembling.
' And is this all—Marion--Miss Cliffe?'
' What more can I say,' she asked, with a
quiet smile.
' Nothing! nothing I Good-bye, Marion, and
may God bless yen!
She sprang back into the parlor, flung her
self into a chair by the table, leaned her head
upon her folded arms, and wept silently and
bitterly.
Some one sprang through the window from
the piazza and knelt beside her—a strong arm
stole around her waist,. anda dear voice spoke
her name. She looked up, and there before
her knelt Godfrey. Tears were in his eyes,
and in his hand he held the Michigan rose
she had cast away the night before.
Marion, I love you. Do you love me ?' he
asked eagerly.
She laid her hand in his, the .next moment
she was drawn closely to his heart, and their
lips met in a long, long kiss—a kilts of youth
and love ! The. wager was won, but she had
won it by losing her own heart.
Maenad, VALLEY.—This valley; which, with
a strip of land nearly half way across the
continent in that latitude, cost this country
$10,000,000, is likely to turn out another Cal
ifornia. It is now said that the river beds and
the roeks and hills are all "lousy" with silver
and gold. Iron and copper are said to abound
also. Among the certain results of that bar
gain we may enumeratethe followin g:-Ist• We
got rid of claims of several millions of dollars
for Indian depredations. 2nd. We gained a
rich and vast valley of excellent soil. 3rd. A
good route for a Pacific railroad. 4th. Straight•
(mad our southern frontier. sth Settled a
disputed question as to boundary peaeealby.
6th. Got rid of the duty of thrashing the In
dians whenever they scared the Mexicans.
Possible results: Gold and silver at the
rate of ten or twenty millions a year.—Pitts.
Post.
MUNICIPAL EXTRAVAGANCE.—New York has
always been regarded as the most extravagant
municipal corporation in America. But Bos
tun, it seems, under the present government,
is still more extravagant. The Advertiser says:.
"One of the New York papers groans that
the six millions and a half expended there is
more than ten dollars per head for every man,
woman "and child in the city. But the two
and a quarter millions spent in Boston is two
cents short of fourteen dollars a head for every
man, woman and child living in Boston, tak
ing the figures of the census of the present
year, which gives the population at the lar
gest number. A statement based on the cen
sus of 1850 would make the amount of this
onerous capitation tax more than sixteen dol
lars."
DEATH AYE VANITY.- The St Louis Her
ald says some of the fashionable ladies of that
place, owing to an excess of vanity, in order to
give tone and permanency to their complexion,
or, as they say, 'to improve our complexion,'
are in the habit of taking arsenic in small do
ses. Within the past week two ladies of that
city, members of wealthy families, ladies °Hash
ion, have died very suddenly. Their nearest
friends and relatives say they were "arsenic
eaters;" but in order to guard against scandal,
the real cause of her death has not been made
public. However those same persons do not
hesitate to say privately, that an over-dose of
arsenic was the real cause of their death. Van
ity must indeed be an almost uncontrollable
passion with persons who, to grtitify it, will
hazard their very existence. There is no doubt
of the fact that this practice is general among
our fashionable butterflies at least to such' an
extent as to become alarming. We think, how
ever, it is a fortunate thing that these vain
creatures die, for what miserable mothers they
would make if Porvidence permitted them to
live.
HEAVY FORGERIES.—George McLeary alias
'Hyena,' Jas F. Kernan and Joseph Rogers,
whose ages range from 17 to 25 yeitrs, have
been arrested in Philadelphia, charged with
the perpetration of a number of forgeries.—
On the 21st of August last, Alexander Priest
ly's check on the North American Bank, for
$623, was forged and the money obtained.
In October, ten barrels of lard oil were ob
tained from Cochran & Russell, on a forged
order "purporting to be from Curtis & Ham,
and the oil planed in charge of another party,
who advanced the sum of $2OO on it. Subse
quently the oil was stolen and taken to anoth
er party, but an effort to procure an advance
failed, and the stolen property was recovered
by the owner. A subsequent effort to fleece
another house in a similar manner led to the
arrest of the young men named above, and on
the persons of some of them a number of
forged checks and orders were found. Mc-
Cleary was arrested in Washington city.

1
am happy to say, that after l ll
using several bottles, I was
cured of the ague, and have enjoyed good health since.—
I had no ague or dyspepsia Since August last. I can re
commend your BITTERS as a very good medicine, and per

I • have been afflicted with sore throat for some time,
whiCh was called Bronchitis by physicians. They treated
me with regular treatment, Jut still I found no relief.—
Your BITTERS was recommliaded and when I commenced
using it I felt my throat ge Ling better • my appetite in
creased, and my food agree better with me. I wax ens , -
couraged to contemns with the BITTERS, and now can say
these BITTERS Cured me. II would recommend J. Stamm's
BITTERS to the . afilicted, for I am confident that my sore '
throat came from my disordbred stomach. My advice is,
try it for Bronchitis and Dyrepsla.

disease which its name indicates. Experietrce and obser

commendation. I was myself permanently cured by using
about 6 bottles, though my 'stomach was so weak that it
would retain nothing. I have known some of the most
desperate and long standing cases to have been cured by
it, and in no instance among the numerous cases that have
come within the range of us) , knowledge, has its use failed
to give immediate, and when persevered in, permanent
relief, I feel no hesitancy id pronouncing it an infallible
