LETTER FROM IRRR A •
GLESONILy, FaHamra Co., Neb., Sept 22.
EDS. REPORTER —Gents: Perhaps a
word from Nebraska may be of some .
interest to a number of your readers.
We have splendid weather here,
which the farmers are trying to im
prove, so as to be ready for the cars- .
paign, 'which will Soon begin in earn
est.
Although wo have no fear* for our
State, if w do nothing for the cause
of the Republican party. Our State
has.tOo many of the loyal and brave
"boys in blue " to over. permit the
party that tried co hard to destroy
our Government to' obtain - control
of our State. They could not fight
to preserve our' Government, and
then settle here and vote to have it
all lost, Therefore, we stand by U.
S. Grant, Henry Wilson, and our
own Republican nocuinatioUs just
mule.
To show yen how wo intend to vote
in Nebraska. I will tell you the ma
jorities of some pf the counties, as I
heard them at the State Convention.
One county said that out of about .
1,500 registered voters, there were
15 Greeley - voters; another said, out
of 1,000 registered voters, they had
two Liberal-sorehead-doughface-Re
publican -Greeley-whitewashed-Dem
ocrats.
But it is not - to eitizansiof Nebras
ka that I wish to write, but to the
voters of Pennsylvania. Will you
do your duty in the coming elec
tiona ? Will you now let it be said
of you, that you abandon all that
you have won in the:last twelve
years? Will you turn over to the
enemies of your State the reins of
government? Will yort allow the
man to govern you who has all his
life been working against the inter
ests of your State? who did all he
.could to ,stop the war ? who voted
against all help to our noble boys?
who encouraged his friends to resist
the draft? who only gave encourage
ment to armed traitors? Charles R.
Bnckalew did all this, and he will do
more it you only give him a chance.
Citizen's of Pennsylvania, will you
give him that chance?
• , WilLyou so disgrace yourselves
'will you abandon all you. hold dear,
for the sake of placing this usurper
in the Gubernatorial chair? Will
yon prove so recreant- to your trust
as to I , :t (.as H. G. has always until
quite lately called them), a set of
thieves, liars, counterfeiters, and bar
room rowdies, triumph? And they,
by taking him as their standar'd
bearer, acknowledge all that Horace
for the la4t forty yea:shag al!ont
them to be true; and he, by accept
ing, oc-coines the leader and counte
nancer of a party of liars.
Voters of Pennsylvania! knowing
as you do that Horace has, in' this
respect, told the truth, will you vote
for Bnckalew, and reject. that loyal,
brave and true soldier, John F.
Hartranft, who, (while. Bnckalew
was at home doing- all -the could to
encourage rebels), was using all the
talent, , power' and strength tbat God
had given him, to subdue this unho'-
ly and accursed rebellion.
- We of the West beg and beseech
yon to stand by U. S. Grant, stand
t.y Hammitt, stand by-that honest,
tine and reliable Itepnblienn. the
great statesman, and upright gentle
man, Ulysses Mercian The great
West is looking to Pennsylvania for
help and encouragement. Let it not
be said that we have lOoked in 'vain.
Do your duty, as wo aro going to - do
ours. Pennsylvania and Nebiaska
vote on the same day; lot your Re
publican majority.be as much larger
than ours as your populatioa- is
greater. And all will be well in No
vember. •

applies to what once wad the Honor
able George Lanaon. Time Was,
When no t name so stirred the people
of Bradford county as his did, and
the announcement that he' would
speak at any place, was sufficient to
draw together an audience such , as
greeted no other speaker; no matter
how great his name. When he . was
a Presiding, Elder. in the BIL E.
Church, quarterly' meeting was an
event much talked of beforehand,
and long remembered, for none so
well as he could . portray the enormi
ty of sin, or the - joy of belitiving in a
risen Saviour; no finger so well an
his, point out the path which leads
from earth to heaven.
And when he left the , Church 'to
take care of herself, and entered the
arena of Politics, it was still the
same. Men listened to him, as in
olden times they listened to the ora
cles whom they believed proclaimed
the teachings of Omnipotence. Ma
ny thought him almost: a demi-god,
whom to doubt were sacrilege of the
worst description. Wherever he
spoke, crowds flocked to hear him,
and even his bitterest political ene
mies acknowledged the charm of his
oratory, and. the force of his logic.
And his speaking was indeed grand;
sometimes reminding one of the
swollen mountain torrent, as it rush
es irresistibly down to the valley be
low; sometimes of the ocean, . when
_not a wave is seen on its bosom; s 6
grand and - awe-inspiring, because we
know what a power it is when its
waves are lashed to fury by an angry
wind. And when, as was often the
cage, his sentences 'seemed grOund
out between his teeth, the men or
the measures he was denouncing,
crawled and shriveled in spite of
themselves. And won delighted to
honor hint.
There was no plane in the gift of
the petlple, which many were not
only willing, but anxioualo give him.
When itwas whispered• that he had
abused the talent given.to his charge
and sold his vote in the State Senate,
his friends denounced it as a vile
slander, gotten up to injure him and
destroy •big influence. Even when
the proofs came out so plain that the
majority could not doubt them, there
were many who would not believe
their idol had so fallen. If he had
then repented of his sin, and 'proved
it by his daily walk and _conversa
tion, such was-his• power over the
people, that be might have regained
his lost influence, and been re-instat
ed, more their idol than ever. But
it was not to be. •Ambition had
bound him too securely.
He went back on his old friends,
and tried to clasp bands across the
chasm be so well knew haw to por
tray, with his worst enemies, and
crawled humbly in the dirt at their
feet, iu the vain hope they wouldi
raise him up to place and . power. As
if something were needed to perfeet
his utter ruin and abasement, he
must needs come out for Greeley and
Backelew. The majority Pennsyl.

was no need for an answer, for he
knew as well as if his eyes were rest
ing upon them. He could see the
pleasant sitting-room, with its cosy
appointments, the centre-table round
which they were all gathered, and
his own vacant chair, towards Which
he was sure loving,, tearful eyes were
often directed. Ho could almost
hear them talking of him, and wish:
he
-was with them again.
All the week he had been so occu
pied with learning the details of his
new duties, and with the .any
strange accompaniments of his new
life, hitherto spent entirely in a coun
try village, that he had had bnt little
thought of home ties, and the lick of
home comforts. But now he, was
free again till Monday morning,. and'
as he sat in his solitary room for the
first time, a rush of home-sick feeling
nearly overcame him.
'lust noir,- when his loneliness' was
at its height,, a knock- was' heard at
his door, and opening it, he saw two
young men, fellow clerks and board
ers. Courteously bidding them enter,
there was still an air of reserve about
his manner which seemed to discon
tent them, for they declined coming,
saying, they had merely called to in
vite him to spend the evening ;with
them, at their room in the same
building " There will be a few

away. -"Don't you see he is one of

out to walk, or to attend a meeting

his eyes. We shall have to work

Again there was a tap at his door.
This time the "express," with a big
package, marked " paid." It was
his father's hand which directed it,
he could see that, though tears were
in his eyes, and his hand trembled as
he untied 'the cord ,and is:irefully laid

Over and over, before he could force

Now they are all in their places, on
the wall, the cover and books on the
table in the centre, and the desk up
on it before him; he has just taken a
sheet and written : "Dear father,

when ding goes the bell again, and
this time it was the post-man, with
his hands full of *papers and letters

PROGRESS OF LIBERTY;
Much has been suid and written in
reference to the many persecutions
that Christians have endured in their
efforts to " worship God " aceording
to their understanding of the f3crip
tuna
rmie and space will net permit of
presenting this subject in detail, but
only to refer to some of theni as they
are Ovulated on the. page of history.
Commencing with the Jews, we
are given , to understand that they so
far completed the requirements of
the Law,. as to add to it the " tradi
tions of the elders," in what is known
as the "Talmud," and were taught
to' regard- it •as of equal authority,
and•to be observed.
In the narrative given of the man
that was born.blind, (John ix : 22),
it is declared that " the Jews had al
ready agreed, that if any . man did
confess that he was the Christ,' he
should be iput out of the Synagogue."
Again, !(John xi : 52) : "Then
from thatday forth, they took coun
sel to - gethek for to put him to death."
In . connection with the above, - the
Apoakle P4ter Day.- of Pen
lecost " alleged , that the Jews had
" taken and by wicked hands hat.
crucified and. slain Jesus of Naza
reth!" ,'•
Not only did the Jews ." deny the
Holy One, and the Just," but they
proceeded against the Apostles, and
this. was not done by the lower or
der, but by their " rulers and elders,
and scribes, and ,Ninas the high
priest, and Caiphatt• and John, and
Alexander, and as:many. as were of
the kindred of thehigh priest," and
from the death of Stephen, they con
tinued their opposition during the
lives of the Apostles.
Commencing with the Church at
Rome„we' find, in , a few centuries,
that the Church became corrupted
to that extent, that in 1.415 John
Huss was burnf at the a;ake, and _Je
rome of Prague soon after.
History iuforths us, that among
the circumstances that condu*l to
the progress of religiesliber4, that
of the discovery of `the of print
ing in 1440, by means of which, not
only the Bible, - but other 'writings
wore soon spread, which great,lcon
dnced to diffuse a true knowl edge of
the Scripttaie's throughout Europe.
But in the year- 1517, is regarded
as the-era in which the Reformation
under Luther commenced, when the
energies,of his .mind' were aroused,:
and led to a particular examination.
of the Scriptures, and published his
ninety-five propositions.
The ,views of Luther on the - sub
ject of 'Reformation, were doubtless
at this time partial and circumscrib
ed, and with- no intention of with
drawing from the Chirch, and hence,
retained much of • :her doctrines.
From that day to the_ present, this
has been the principle of Fall reform
ers—they have generally "protested".
against doctrines, and left more or
less for others to protest.
In this we have a view of the, pro-
gress of religious libertycrof thelena
clty of those who 'opposed on every
occasion.
However individuals may view
this, history has informed us of the
rise and progress of each denomina
tion down th the present date, and
of the opposition that each has . re,
ceivod, and they in their turn have
made to others. ' ° BMWS&

•An attentive "little pitcher" had
heard her father instruct older broth
ers and sisters that when, in the
course of conversation, a subject came,
up that seemed - to be disagreeable to

that it should be charged as quickly
as possible. ;Some days after, her
father said to her as heleft the house:
"Mary, papa wants you to be very

CURIOUS lIINER4U ObIEMONIES IN
- Long bofore a funeral procession
comes in sight, the ear catches a low
monotonous chant of the priestr,Who
are
. preceded by boys in white robes,
bearing the crucifix and eclesiastical
insignia, in presence of which every
head is uncovered,- and every hand
mattes the, sign of the cross. The
corpse is :'exposed to full view in an
open coffin of light material, covered
with white or 'blank eloth, - with
vet' or gilt decorations, the cover of
which, marked with a long diagonal
:dross, is carried before the proces
sion. The body is dressed in the
cuitomary clothes of the deceased,
the head slightly elevated, and the
hands folded in front of a panel pict

breast. If kis a female, the - cheeks
and lips are painted. vermilion, in
tended to reproduce a natural expres
sion, but which gives to - the corpse
an Ltificial and ghastly look. Even
to 'one accustomed : to witness the ex . -
posure of the dead in Oriental coun
tries there is something painful in
the idea , of exhibiting to the glare of
day, and amidst - the whirl and insen
sibility of the -Public street the feat
;ire of a deceased person who in.life
may have been - known only to the lit
tle grOup of mourners gnthered abont
the remains. At Greek funerals the
horse is not generally employed; and
the light eperewasket is' borne by the
hands of the &sweat, friends of the
deceased, while the other mourners
walk, not march, in a group around
it. Thus they literally carry and ac
company, rather than follow, their
friend to the grave, and gaze upon
the face which was dear to them u
to the moment when he is laid in hi s '
'last resting-place. The funerals of
the poornre even more touching to
behold. A single priest, perhaps,
performs the Chant, and : half a dozen
.mourners, representing the little
household, bear between them the
coffin, which is compoded of the
cheapest material, and covered with
white muslin. V'hen a persbn of
distinguished position *dies, the fu
neral procession becomes an iinpos
ing spectacle, with the bishop and
priests in'their gorgeous sacerdotal
robes, numerous lighted candela, and
martial music.' I once saw the body
of a venerable bishop of the Greek
Church carried in procession through
the streets of Athens. He was seat
ed in his bishop's chair,elevated above
the people, • and wee clothed in his
canonical robes, Witi. miter on head .
and the crosier uplifted in his hand.
A Cloth around the forehead bound
.it to the lack of the chair; but not
sufficiently close to prevent the head
front bobbing up and down, 6 if the
dead man's pale and rigid features
were saluting, for the last time, the
people among whom he had exer
cised his' holy office for over three
score years, in this position -ho was
placed in the grave, a peculiar honor
'accorded to his eelesiastical rank.:
The dead--thiefly'from climatic con
siderations—are buried within -twen
ty-four hours of their decease. This
is very shocking. to foreign ideas ;
but the custom has eome to be com
plied with within loss time than the
law requires. Indeed the feeling is;
that' the sooner the painful duty is
over, and the house freed from the
distressing spectacle of a corpse, the
sooner'will the minds of the mourn-:
era be relieved from association with
what is rth . pulsive, and return -to the
inward contemplatien of their friend,
as they knew hi& in life. Thus it
ofteu. happens that the first intima
tion of a death is conveyed in the
printed invitation' to the funeral: I
'hare conversed with a gentleman at
an evening party, who appeared to
be. in the highest' enj oyment of physi
cal health, and the day following:wit
nessed his interment; he having ex
pired in the meantime of apoplexy'.
I had once a business appointment:.
With a near neighbor; and, -on going
to fulfil it, met his dead body com-,
ing clown the door-step. I-was sitting.
one evening at the bedside of a 4iiii
tingughed American iilissionary,who
was 'describing to me his peculiar
malady, and the next afternoon I
saw him laid in the krotestant Cem
etery. The modern Greek may well
exclaim with the ancient Greeek
" Who kuows what fortunes onto-morrow wait,
Since Chiantis one day well to us appeared,
And on the next was mournfully internal "
It is the'custom, after the decease
of the occupant, to drape the interi
or of the house with mourning. I
have seen evtry article of furniture,
from' piano to footstool, draped in

THE GIVING LAYMAN
• ' Onto thro was a layman noted for
reninrkable liberality. To every
benevelent and Christairi' enterprise
he contributed with princely muni
ficence His, brethren became ap
prehensive that he-moron reduce him
self to poverty.: After due tensulta
tion, the paStor was appointed to in
form the layman that his •brethren
thought him too', liberal, and wished
him to curtail - his - gifts. The pastor
entered on the performance ~ of the
duty with all possible delicacy.

are 'too liberal, and aro in dn.nger of
bringing yourself and family to pov

"But," replied the layman, "I have
nit yet reduced myself.. to poverty :
my family - are comfortably supported,
my children are receiving an educa

increasing in value. I cannot - give

Early next morning the laynian
saw his pastor approaching with hurz
ried steps. "My brother,',, said the
minister, "I was wrong, and yorkwere
right. The Lord convinced - me last
night in a dream that ,You will rose

I saw you standing on the ocean

them into the' 'water. The r4cediffg

and I though yOr crackers would
soon be all wasted. But I looked a

"Why." said the 'pious layman,
"that-is just what I have been taught

A merry . or a dwerful countenance

their lives as if shiit up in a dungeon.
Everything is dark, gloomy, and for
bidding. They mourn from day to •
day, that they have so little, and are
in constant fear lest what little they
have will escape .out of their hands.
They.alwaye look upon thedark side,
and can never enjoy the good of the
present, for fea r of the evil that is to
