It was no use; the letters danced before his eyes, • the whole 'world seemed wavering and uncertain in those days. He laid his book down, and began to, think of the great trouble which was shutting him in. When the black specks first begaeto dance between him and his paper, months ago, he had not thought about the matter. It was annoying to be sure, but.he must have' taxed , his .eyes too severely. He would work a ' little less by lainplight:— spare them a while—and he should beull right. Su he had spared theili more mad more, and yet, the Eii , pka kept on their elfin dance; for weeks the cont,:el.. :I had beer growing on.him slowly that, be going to be blind. Ile had'nOt tt,r.d his wife yet—how. could he bear to lay on her shoulders :the burden `.of his' aWful'ettlamity ? 0, it was too hard! Y And yet was it too hard? Dared he say so? he, God's minister—who had told other sufferers so many times that their chastening were dealt out by ;a kind Father's hand, and that they should'Count all that brought them nearer to Him as joy ous. not previous? Yet speaking after the manner of this world, his burden seemed great er than hbldonld beir:;tWliat could he do—a blind, helpless man? He must give up his work in life—let another take his ministry—sit help less in the darkness. Heaven only knew how long., Could he_he thus resigned?' Then, suddenly a i flash of hope kindled his sky, there: might be help for him. This gathering darkness might. be something 'which science could - remove. He would be sure of that before he told Mari. .And then he became: fereriahlylimPatierit.

What a. curia. mu Mist eann'ea to gransinna all things! The lokses lOoked Mee a spectral through it; -the vezy people he met seemed like ghosts. He had 1113 t reitliZed his defective' vision so much it home where it had coraenn him gradually, and all . objects were so familiar. Still with, an effort he ccnild see the iigns'on the street cor ners and find his_way. • 'Heat last reached the residence of the distinguished oculist for whose verdict he had come. He - fozmd the parlor half filled with:people, waiting like himself. He Was slaked for his name, and sent in. a card on Which was written::" Rev.-William Spencer, Montclair." Then he waited his turn. He dared not think how hong the time WAS, or what suspense be was in. He. just kept his simple child prayer in his, heart, and steadied him 'with it. The time came for him at last, and he followed the boy who summoned him into a room shaded with green, .with green furniture, and on the tk blo a vase of flowers.. Thi6 stillness and the cool-scented air refreshed him. He saw dimly, as he saw that morning, a tall, slight man, with -kind face and - quiet manners, who addressed him by name, invited him to sit down, and then inquired -into his symptoms with such tact and sympathy that he felt as if he - were talking with a Mend. At last the docliir asked him to take a seat by the window and have his eyes ex amined. His heart beat chokingly, and he whispered under his breath: "Thy will, 0 God; be done; only give me strength." '_ Dr. Gordon was anent for a- mo ment or two—it - seemed ages to Mr. Spencer. ' Thenhe said with the iliat nderest and saddest voice, ski if ho f It to the utmost all the, pain he was ' flitting: "I cannot give you any hope. e malady is incurable. You will not lose your sight entirely just yet, but it must come soon. The minister tried to ask how long it would be before he should no blind; but his tongue 'seemed to cleave to the roof of his month - and he could only gasp. Dr. Gordon understood, and an swered very kindly, that it might, be a month, possibly two. He stood up then to go. He knew then that all hope was over. He paid his fee and went out of the ; room and out of the house. It 'seemed to him things had grown darker since he went in. He hardly knew how he found his way to the 'cars. It was two hours past his din ner time, and he was faint for lack of food but he did not know it. He got-to the station somehow and wait ed for the train to start ir Mont 'clair. All the way hoine''he,. kept :whispering to. himself, "One month, ipossibly two," as if it were a lesson on the getting by heart of which his life depended. He heard the con ductim call out Montclair at last, and . got out of the cars mechanically. :His wife stood there waiting for him. She had been anxious about him all day. " 0, William!" she cried, and then she saw his face and stooped. There was a look on it of one over .whom some awful doom is pending, a white, fixed look that chilled her. She took his arm and they walked On Eli lently through the summer aftei noon. When they reached home, and she had taken off her bonnet; he spoke at last: " Mary, come here and let me look at you. I. want to learn your fay by heart." Slib came and knelt by him, while he took her cheeks between his hands, and studied every lineament. " Aro you going away ?" she asked after a while, for his fixed, silent mysterious gaze began to torture her. " Yes,dear, I am going; going in to the dark." "To die ?" she gasped. • " Yes, to die to everything that makes up, a man's life in this world," lie answered bitterly. " Mary lan going blind. Think what that means: A few weeks mom and I shall never, see you again or our children, or this dear, beautiful world where we have lived and loved each other. whole creation is only an empty stand forever more! 0-God! how min I bear it?" ' "Is there no hope?" she asked with curious esininesS, at which she herself was amazed. "NOne. It was my , erriurd . to town tr.i4i;tio fold out. ,I.'have felt it coming on for months, but I hoped against-hope, and now I know. 0 Mary, to sit in the- darkness' until my death day, striving for a sight of your dear face!

" Maiy, cannot see; the time's come: l dm alone in the darkriess," "Not alone, my love," she cried , in a passion:, of grief, and pity, and ten derness. -Then she went and sat down beside him. on ,the bed, 'and drew his- head to her *mom, and comforted him jtust as she• was wont to Comfort her , children.--' After a time her tender carresses and her, soothing tones seemed to have healed his bruised and tortured' heart. 14 lifted up her head and kissed het., hie first from. out the daikness in whiCh he. must , abide and then he sent her away. I think every soul standing face to face with an untried calamity longs to be for a space alone with its God. Threehours after that, the chureb bellierang, and as usual, the minis ter and his wife walked out of the dwelling, save that now he leaned upon her arm. In that hour of se- . elusion he had made up his mind what to do. They walked up the familiar way, and she left him at the foot of the, pulpit stairs and went back to her pew in the front. groped up the stairs and then rising in his place, ho spoke to the weeder ing congregation: , "Brethren, I stann before you as :one on whom the Father's hand has. failed heavily. . lAM blind. I shall never seeyou again • in this world— yon, my c hildren—for whose souls I have striven so long. I have looked 'my last on your kind, familiar faces on this earth—see to it that I miss none bf you when my eyes are again unsealed in heaven. Grant, 0 Fath er, that of those whom Thou has given me I may lose none." There was not a tearless face among those which were lifted np to him, as he stood there with his sight less eyes raised to heaven, his hands outstretched, as if to bring down on them the blessing fqr which he prayed. Some of the women sob bed audibly, but the minister was calm. After a moment he said: • "My brethren, as far as possible, the services will proceed as usual." Then in a 'clear' voice in which there seemed to his listeners some unearthly sweetness, he recited the one hundred , and ' thirteenth Psalm, commencing: ' " Ont. of the deep hate I - called up on Thee, 0 Lord; Lord hear my voice." Alterivards.he gave :out the first, line of a hyinn which the congrega tion sang. Then- he prayed, and some said who heard him, the eyes 'closed on earth were surely behold-i ing the beautiful vision, for he spoke as a son beloved, whose very soul was full of the Father's presence. The sermon which followed was , such a one as they hrid never before heard from his lips. There was power in it, a fervor, a tendernsss which 10 words of, mine can describe. It was the testimony of a living wit ness who has found the Lord a. very present help in the time of trouble. When all was over, and he came down the pulpit stairs, his wife stood again at the foot, and he took her arm and went out Silently. He seemed to the waiting congregation as one set apart and consecrated by the anointing of a special sorrow; and they dared not break the holy silence ardund hull with commcin speech. • The next afternoon is committee from the church went ki the parson age. Mrs. Spencer saw them com ing and told her husband. " It mist be," he said, " to ask my' advice in the choice of my succes sor." ' " I think they might have waited one day," she cried, with a woman's passionate impatience at any seem ing forgetfulness of the claims given him by his years of faithful service. The delegation had reached the "door by that time, and the minister '-did not answer her. She waited on the men into the study aad left them there, going' about her usual task 'with a heart lull of, bitterness.. It was natural perhaps that they. should not want a blind minister, but to tell him so now, to-make the. very first paw , of his.s4;itrow oharper by their untliankfuluess. it was too, much. - -;An hour passed before they went away, and then he heard her hus band's voice calling her, and went into the -study prepared to sympa thize with sorrow. She found him sitting where she left him; with such a joy, and peace, „and thankfulness upon his face as she, had never •ex pected to see it wear again. " Mary," he said, "there are some kind hearts in this world—My parish wants me to stay with them, and in sists,on raising,my salary j hundred doltars a year.'(. "Want yon to stay will' them?" she cried, hardly understanding hie words, " Yes..

"Audi thought they wericothing in indecent haste to give you notice to go," Mrs. Spencer cried penitently. °How I misjudged „them".

IIE Or A Warn mu. Under this Caption the rortsmouth Chronicle . has the following ; sensible' article: - ' • 'lt is often remarked by- 'persons who ,do not possess any property,' and who depend upon the labor for ithe support of themselves_ and fami lies,' that they ere " wort, nothing," financially speaking. This language is generally indulged 'in: by men in 'MO community who style themselves business men. Let. us examine the question final:Lela* and see if their 11110361#113 are correct. 'La - A - year the price of common bor averaged per day. Admik ting that tho laborer received $1.59 per day, and it required the whole of 'that sum to support his family, nevertheless we contend that the la borer was worth in cash to his famiL ly the sum of $7,980. t The amount ho would receive for -one year's labor at $1.59' per day would be $475.60, which amount would be interestat six per cent. on 47,980, which -latter sum would _be ;the cash value of the laboring man 'to his family. - • The cash value of the laboring tam to the . community is much more than the above named sum, as labor is the Only true wealth. of any country. Without labor our ; forges, fnrnaces, Woolen-mills, and indeed manufac tures kinds Would cease to be. !The music of the loom and shuttle would be silenced forever. Our 'na tional and other banks would close their doors, and eur - most -enterpris ing merchants would. take in their signi. Without' labor, civilization would recede, and the bat and - owl soon occupy the crimson chambers of our would-be business men. • Let the laboring men of the Unit ed States, realize their true position. Let them reflect that labor is honor able, that labor is wealth. Letihere remember that they , are a poWer in the State; that to_ them• this' great Government is, indebted for gall it. possesses (if - liberty, glary and grand eur. Let them' only reflect, that . labor is honorable; big late those who look down on the humbe laborer and mechanic reflect for one moment be fore they speak in terms of dispar agement of the "hewers of wood and drawers of water." The custom is too prevalent in the. community, of making remarks in a sneering man ner of the greet industrial mass of our people, leading youths among us to think that' honest industry is not, honorable, be it what it may. That time has passed. • Honest, industriousinechanics and laborers are the wealth of States, and until they are encouraged and foster ed our people cannot be ,prosperous. It is not the cash value alone by which he enriches the place of his residence, but he adds by his labor to its material, wealth. No country or 'nation can command the respect of the wotid-unless that respect was gained through the skill of her me chanical population. Then let all classes, more especially the rich, re spect and inculcate their childten with the true' theory of life, 'that la bor is honorable,. and if in after life misfortune should overtake them, willing hands will be put forth to earn their support. IMPROPER HANDLING OF CHILDREN.- It is often painful to observe how lit tle children are handled. It is ''not an uncomm - on practice for parents and nurses ,to, catch them suddenly bylhe hand. or arm, , and drag, or, hurl,,them, over some difficult spot, such, for instance, as a Mud hole, or over a brook, if in the country; or. .from the steps Of a horse car to, the paveMent,' or . over some broken place in the pavement or, street;, or over the gutter, if iii Vie' city, ...without a single thought about what the can 'sequences might - be from such pro cedure. - , If parents and purses who aro giiilty of such conduct_ will, by way of experiment, just ,allow .themselves be viddenly /3118in q ed by the wrist or arrnoind - at the samei time hurled across a given space, they will have taken the first bison in refer ence to the iniproprietY, not to say barbarous Lin& brutal eliaracter, of such a practice." , THE MAN "Wrrsotrr AX Emmy."' , Heaven help the man who 'imagines he can dodge "enemies ", by trying to please everybody! :If such an ,in dividualc ever succeeded, : ,we should be eaa te,iinow it. 14ot that we be lievein'it' man's going ihrimgh the World trying to find Watery to knock his :.head :against; ~disputing P-every - MAU'S opinion; . fighting ansi elbowing and : 1 apwding -... all who differ from him.

TODOESEIP. will be' seen by the repot ta of confereei published herewith that the conferees of Susquehanna and Bradford failed to - unite - in the nom inatiOn, of; 'A-, candidate' for. Judge.. Much the same course was pursued as at the Representative conference at Springville. The - Susquehanna conferees refused to go into confer ence without an.-equal representa tam, and the Bradford conferees re fus'ed to. -admit them on those : terms. Ti.e result was that the Brad ford men, claiming to be a maority, organized, and nominated Judge Moiroiv; and, the Susquehanna men also organized, and nominated Judge Bentley.' • We have looked the situation over carefully and _impartially, and have come to the Conclusion that this paper, as an Independent Republican paper, belonging to no rink or clique, and only. seeking to promote the best ,intersts of the Republican party and of the people,,is duty bound to sustain the nomination of Judge Morrow; and accordingly, his, name is printed at the head of our columns as the nominee of the Republicans of this Judicial District -for Additional Lai. Judge. Some of our reasons for thinking that this *the right coarse we here give: ' 1. The majority, rules. This prin iciple,lies at the foundation c•of our systeni •of government. We recog nize it• in our political relations= in tha Nation, the State, the District, the- county, the township. In each and all the vill,of the majority, law-i fully expressed, governs. And so it is and must be in our political organ izations, if we would preserve them „from disruption and defeat. Suppose - Pennsylvania presents a candidate for the RepUblican nomination for the Presidency. Wo may think that our claims aro strong—Pennsylvania is a great State, and has never had a Republican Candidate for President —bat if we aro defeated in the Na tional convention, and some other good Republican is nominated, we are not. going to bolt and run , our Pennsylvania candidate in opposi tion to the decision of the party— thtitt disorganizing avid perhaps de feating the party, because the minor ity cetdd not have thdir own way. The same principle applies to a Judi cial or a Representative District. We recognized it plainly ;enough in our dealings with Wyoming county a fes , days ago. "We are the majority," said Susquehanna, and proceeded-at once to exercise the rights of the ma jority by nominating both candidates for Representatives. Bradford ceun ty did the same in nominating a can didate for Judge. The Republican' vote of Bradford county last year was 6653. The Republican vote of Susquehanna county last year was -4064. • 2. , The conferees hf Susquehanna coital!, had ~no authority to make a ' 91071/ inalwn at all, except as members of a conference if the two ' , counties. When men assume new:and extraor dinary powers, their t iredentials ought to be explicit and queltion able, and they Should not exceed the powers conferred thereby. T.n this case, even admitting that the resolu tion so hastily adopted while the, County Convention 'was breaking up and when many delegates, if not the majority, had gone out, was a correct expression •of the voice of Susqo4- hanna county and binding on the conferees, it gave them no authority whatever to make a - nomination by themselves. The resolution is as follows: "Reentred, That the Convention authorize Judge Bentley to nominate an equal number of conferees with Bradford county; and that, km lead admitted into conference with an: equal number with Bradford county, we will not go into conference on the nomination for Judge. Here is no authority for our con ferees to make a nomination outside of the conference, ner anything like it. If they considered this resolu tion binding :on them, when they failed to gain admittance to the con ference with an equal number of con ferees with Bradford county, their mission was ended—they had gone to the extent of their authority 'as given by the Convention, and should have come home and reported the failure of ' their mission to the Republican party of Susque hanna county. They clearly exceed ed their powers in making a nomin ation. 3, The number of conferees each county was entilleq to had been preci ously settled between the counties, and it could not be changed by the action of one 'county—more espececially of the smaller county. The only proper and binding, way to, make a change in the ratio of representation in confer ence =Would be in a Convention be- 4 , tween the two counties. Bradford county had n right to stand by the established ratio, till a change should be thus 'made. We recognized this principle when we refused. Wyoming an equal voice with Susquehanna in the nomination of Representatives. The Wyoming county Convention appointed three Representative con lerees, instead of two as heretofore, thus claiming an equality in the con ference. Our conferees refused to admit the three-on 'an equality, but, claiming to be the majority, went on and organized es a, conference, and made their nominations. And we consideilheir action binding. The. -same 'principle:precisely- applies in the:ease of the conference between Susquehanna and Bradford. And shall We say that the conferees,repre r senting the larger constituency were , right-in'tlie one case and wrong in the other? Can Susquehanna, coun ty thus blow, hot and cold at one breath? We can never advocate such.eiident inconsistency. 4. There is lidpsissibility of electing Judge Bentley • He is not a resident of this county or °tibia district, and has not been for, a number of years. He lives in Williamsport, Lycoming county, where ho served as President Judge fora short time by appoint ment of the Governor, and was after wards ecandidate before the people foi That' affice, -and :,was defeated. And Ow, While still a resident there he is'bronght forward as a-candidate in this district. We understand that it it is expected that- the Democ racy of the, district will vote for him, and it is hoi*,d that enough Republi cans Will join with theni to elect him. itlitat-vertit • dvance, .... . . . In case of his election, he.,woula, of course, move hick into the district. But Can be be elected? WO can see no chance for,it. We are assured that in Bradford county,. Judge Mor row willicceivo just about the usual . Republican majeirity, say 3,000. In Susquehanna county, from 'What we can ascertain of the sentiment of the people,otc believe that if every Re publictuifplpsi in Alm county Should come out in support -o Judge Tent, ley, he' could, not, as know brought out against Judge Morrow, get half of the . Republican vote. And the idea that the Democracy will be unit ed in hie support we. are assures is erroneous. What then is the use, or where is the - geed policy of getting up a contest in which he is • sure to be defeated, the party to be more or 'fess. divided' against itself, and no body'can gain anythinghut the cop per-heads? Will it pay to distract and divide the noble Republican party of; Susquehanna, county to spite Bradford county . because she has not'always been as generous to us as - she-should have 'been? Wyo ming makes the same complaint against, us,:yet we do not think thai, would justify her in bolting from the support: of our candidates for Repre sentatives.. 'Sauce for the-. goose should be sauce for the gander. , 5. This is a time when especially the Republican party ought to be kept her nzeitioim and; its organitation_ intact, both for ,national .and local. reasons.' The DomoCiacy would move heaven and earth if they could—not to men tion any other place- . --to elect a ma jority of the next Congress. A' divis ion among the Republicans of this judicial district will evidently tend to weaken -the Republican vote in two , Congressional districts. 3fer cur's district is very . close. A few hundred Republicans taken from him in Bradford county"would defeat him. And a division in the party always tends to lessen the vote for ,the whole ticket,. Therefore, the Repub licani 'of Bradford county, in our opinion, shoidd stand by their ticket and do their best to promote harmo ny and to elect ciery nominee of the party. A break, in the Republican ranks in Susquehanna will injure the prospects of the'electiou of Mr. Shoe maker, of Luzerne, - for Congress. Every such occurrence (Tank a chance . Tor trading vote 4, and the more of that there is the worse it will be for the Republican majorities and the Republican organization in this county. We therefore can see no other proper course for the true Repnblicans of Susquehanna county —the, men who supper 4 the party from Principle and because they be: here that in so d•ong they promote " the greatest good of. the neatest number "—than to stand by the reg ularly nominated Republican ticket, as printed at the head of our col-. umns. • —Againsethe good intentions of our -conferees—who are. influential Republicans anOave a straight Re publican record—We have not a word to say. But the movement which they represented—however it may be believed to be warranted by the con duct of Bradford' county towards us —was entered upon without a proper consultation of the wishes of the Re publican party of Susquehanna coun ty, and fails to receive . their !united gr general support. - Before a purpose such as is expressed in the resolution adopted at our' convention—pointed evidently to a disruption oithe Re publican party in this district, and the pitting of the Republicans of one county against those of the other— wai attempted to be carried into ef fect, there should have teen a full and thorough discussion of the niat-.. ter—the people should have had time to consider it maturely, in all its near and remote bearings and grave cou sequencee, and then shbuld have ex pressed a unanimous, or nearly unan imous determinatibn to sustain such purpose.mit o lf tliis movement is follow ' ed, weonly diride- - the Republi cans of Susquehanna (part of them) from the Republicans of Bradford, but divide among ourselves.—lnde pendent Republican.
