Br ur.v.
-A hundred years, the grandest of all Odle -
Fullest of great eeents, and most std.:luso
AllOtted are to feW of all the race ; . '
Our friend is here appointed an honored place;
The measure a whose years complete the sum,
To celebrate the day his friends have come. ..
George Anrphy, honored centennarian,
Began his life where liberty began.:
-
Descended from a patriotic sire,
Whose love of liberty our hearts admire..
..•
That patriotic sire ne'er saw hie bey; •
The son did ne'er a father's lOve enjoy,
Bin came an orphan to earth's gloomy strand, •
That gloom reigned absolute o'er all the land.
As pearls and dlansOnds gained with highest price,
So liberty with human Sacrifice ;
Slain sire, and widowed wife and orphaned ion, •
The freedom, glory, of our land, have won.
'Twas 'hen Wyoming vale was dyed in bleed,
And war spread fdrions nathststless flood.
Revenge and plunder fired the red man's soul,
While England strove for absolute control. ;
But we to our majority had collie
And claimed our.freedemin our distant home.
While reverence to parents is their due,
The rights of children Phonid be honored too;
When they nq more receive support. or care,
The parent - should ainhority forbear;
But With parental love, and kindness move
And Seek his children's future to Improve.
The tory bands jolted our eternal-foes,
With fiendish rage our liberties oppose:
Acrid such scenes none but the stoutest heart
Where Fortitude will all her aid impart,
.And 'fat th and constancy unfailing reign,
11 reavement, agortydike this sustain.
Prospective then the mother's faithful soul .
Let instinct for tier future cliargeeontrol
And wisely seek a distant
-safe retreat
Through lonely savage wilds with weary feet.
Could fond Imagination e'er conceive ?
The glories that these labors would achieve;
The joys that from these tiorrovot — would arise,
The light and hcauty of thy brighter skies?
.Whe'n a new race and miler 5it1.414 prevail,
Anilbless thy ClaSzie soil Wyoming vale.
When-this new race and order get-mu endure
per future homes anti safety shi;ulti ensure.
From eastern shine to western wave ektend..

To hop's of equal g-..:ed o'er all the earth.

LOANING A LOUR.
My sister Patricia was an heiress.
Strange enough ; for arc had always
been terribly poor down at
bridge, my widowed mother bringing
up her four daughters with the great
est difficulty; but when brought •up
we were worth looking at, 1 believe.
Healthy habits and frugal living are
%pt to atake good conditions, and
Bess and Amy .and Patricia and. I
were as
_bright and handsome girls as
are. often seen. •
Bess and Amy were twins, with
eyes as blue as the sea near , which
they were born, rosy- checks and long,
bright brown curls; Patricia was a
sparkling brunette, while I was a per
fect blonde, with crinkled hair like

molten gold. Great had been: our ex
eiternent when. A nit Betty wrote
from Fairhaven :
• " Dear Sister-in-Law :--I am going
to din myself the pleasure of visitmg
you this / summer. I hoar that broth
er Abel`left four girlsond I want to
see them. I am getting on in years,
and 'will make one of them my heir
ess."
. Aunt Betty was worth a hundred
thousand; if she was worth a cent.
Well, in due time she came. She
put up at the hotel, for our cottage
at Lowbridge wasn't big enougii- to
hold her, with her maid, coachman
and carriage, but fortunately, that
was close by , and she spent the lan;
ger half of the days with us.
We all thought Bess would -be her
choice, for father had named her
Elizabeth for Aunt Betty, though she
had always been "Bess" with us. : But
it was neither of the twins, and it
was not I. It was Patricia.
" Where (lid that girl get her black
hair ? " Aunt Betty asked, as soon as
she saw kei; . .
." I think - she looks like my brother
Luke, don't:you ?"'' asked my mother
with ,a wistful look.
" The. very image of hiM," answer
ed Aunt Betty, turning pale.
I divined then, as I learned after
ward, that Uncle Luke had -been a
lover of Aunt Betty's ,when both
were -young, before their marriage,
and the fact seemed to have power
over her.
She looked. at Patricia until the
girl blushed ropy red, when she•called
to tier and drawing' her. down upon
her knees on - a footstool before her 4.
she put a withered hand each side of
the young cheeks and kissed her.
SO it was Patricia she chose to
leave her money to; but we were not
out in the cold, for she sent the twins,
who were only sixteen, to school for
two years, and invited Inc with Patri
cia,.
to the Hermitage:
It was her Lome=a stately old
mansion of gray stone, gloomy look
ing on the outside. but luxuriously
comfortable within, without being in
the least modern. • We had cavil - it
in.tid awl the free use of the horses
and carriage. After - this
proyision fur our comforti,lAmit Bet

That autumn AuLt Betty died.
Patricia was to come in possession of
her fortune in a year, when she was
twenty-one—full and undisputed pos

It Was arranged that we were all
to come; to the hermitage to live.
We did so, and lived there quietly ns

year. when Patr:cia made the at

She met him - first at a funeral—of

the death of our next neighbor, Gen.
Petacey. - Gage Redmond being a
nephew of his. lie was well•connec

Patricia's money," mamma declared.
"Patricia - is rich and, beautiful.

.from a letter. 4. was writing to,Mr.

" I would not if I could help it,

Patricia will he in undivided posses

only by courtesy. The Hermitage is

her whatever."
But your influence, mamma ? "
" Will have very, little effect if she
sets her heart on this Gage Redmond.

" Well, finish your letter, Gertrude,

But my train of thought was bro

" But Mr. Sherrington? "
"I will tell' .him. He will not ob

-" I think he will." ' i
"0h,.n0; he will be interested in

' I'll-bring y embroidery up and

" Do," she' said "I am . tired of

when I glanced over the way. -
" Seeaw to me you've wonderfully

The DeLacey dinner bell rang and
Mr. Redniond disappeared. ,
"Well, I must take them in anoth
er direction now," I said, rising.. I
can't give any more tithe to you, sis
for I want to finish my blue silk be
fore Mr. Sherrington comes. You'd
better take a nap."
Patricia settled herself obediently
among her cushions. Suddenly she
lifted her; beautiful head.
" Has Mr. Redmond called to en
'quire for me today?" •
"Nu, I' believe not," I replied in
differently...
She shelved a moment's surprise,
then settled herself on her coucb
again, and in five M'nutes was sleep

The, blue silk suit was finished, and
having laid aside my , half mourning
for aunt Betty and donned •it, the
family *flounced the effect charm

- "Is Mr. Sherrington coming to

" Yes.”
" I want to- say to you, my dear,
that on Mr. Sherrington's account, I
don't think you had better—" she
whispered, but I interrupted her. by
my exit from the apartment:
The next train brought Mr. Clyde'

At first my companion did not be

‘,.incied of my sincerity his astoniah

, and before retiring that night.l whis.
leered to mamma that I had • made it
all right with Mr. Sherrington, and
she had_ouly to observe how.nicely I
' would manage the whole affair.,
I sent Patricia off in the morning
to find arbutus with Mr. Sherrington
while I waited _to receive Mn i Red

When, hecame I was in the garden,
and had: - ordered lunch an hour ear

" Pray come and see my tulips,

" We won't' ait lunch for Patri

spring flowers, and may not be back
this three hours. Come in and have
a bit of salad, with a cup of choco

olate myself, and can recomend it."
i , 5..) I kept him for another lcdf an
hour and he left, pleased with his
visit. •
Pail Oft and Sherrington caine
back only .fifteen minutes af , er the
usual Itinch hour, the former so - de
lighted with a profusion of pink ar
butrts as hardly to heed when a ser
vant informed her that " Red-
Aland had called to see her, and
stayed with Miss Gertrude for ;unc - h."
She had put the rosy eltniers in
. her dark hair and on the• bosom of
her graceful gray dress, and, flushed
with her long ramble, I think t never
saw her look so perfectly lovely.
. " Hp has been here.. Very niee of
you to keep her away
,so bug," I
whispered to Clyde. •
He lOoked at me queerly. but said
nothing. 1' did not want him to ex ,
postulate with„ me, as I believed-he
wished to do, and so kept. apart from
hioi during the evening, leaving him
to sing and play with Patricia.
1- He was interestirig, with his very
natural manner of reserved modesty.
Maas glad Patricia • found, him so.
He had pale, silken hair that fell in
shadowy curls over a beautiful fore
h
i f
ad, and softly modulated - . tones.
e contrasted nicely with her dark,
, s iirited beauty.
" Clyde has an elder brother' ay-,
niond—just the one for Patralia. 4
wonder if it Can be brought about.? "
. •But I sport had my hands full, for
at all honra of the day and night Mr.
Redmond came to the Hermitage.
And-it was not long before my suc
cess as a • decoy was patent to the
most careless observer., He asked
only Tor ."Miss Gertrude." ~
In .three weeks the crisis burst
upon me, He pro p osed. - • ~
" I, used to think Mr. Sherrington
your lover," . he'said, standing before
me with Ihis frank, handsome face lit,
.up, " but /l a te observations - have
shown me'that his visits here ate for
your sister. Linde you are free then,
will you not ,marry. me ?

My amazement allowed me to stam
mer nothing intelligible In some
distant may I . temporized the matte;
and begged lir. Redmond to give the
some time for reflection.
He Went away, making an appoint
ment for the next evening.
So thunderstruck was I by the rev
elation of Mr. Redmond's Wealth that
I wandered abont the house in a dazed
way, not heeding how mamma was
fretting about Patricia, who had gone
to ride with Mr. Sherrington. •
" What is the matter, mamma! Is
it going to storm r" I said at last.
.!"To storm! Nonsense! Where
are youi eyes, Gertrude'? It is near
ly nine o'clock. Patricia has been
gohe seven hours with Mr. Sherring
ton, and 1 know something is wrong."
" What P " I demanded, rousing
myself: „
." I don't know." •
Nine, ten, eleven and twelve o'clOck
passed. No.farriage—no news. . '
At noon the next day the carriage
drove into the yard. Patricia coolly
Presented her husband. They bad
been married the evening before by
our paStor at Lowbridge.
"So nice and quiet," said Patricia.
" No fuss, no - notoriety."
She took her place coolly at . the ta
ble. - •
" You needn't hesitate to take
Gage now, Gertrude; he's dead in
love with you, and as I like Clyde
best, I thought I'd decide the matter
without any complications."
',think I was dumfounded. lipt I
founa my tongue when Mi. Redmond
came. that evening, and said "Yes.".,
I give my experience for the ben
fit of others. It is dangerous, loan
ing one's lover.
WHICH ABE MOST FOOLISH.
`lt - Was alleged that some of the
Freedmen of the South were led to
vote against their . judgment or their
feelings, by telling them that. if Alley*
voted thus and so every_ one should
have a farm and a mule ! It is need
less to say, - none .of them got these
very handy things by voting for them
—but a returned carpet 'bagger, from
Kansas taus their beSt company cf
immigrants there were freedmen from
Kentucky, who come with 'honey and
with teams. They had• to earn them
however, by mewl:, and by sal'ing their
money, just, like white flilks !
Nearly half the voters of Luzerne
county are mines, most ',chop' seem
utterly ignorant of the powers of our
National Government. When a dem
-agogue like H. B. Wright proposes
to offer any man with a family going
west, the. use-of $5OO frOnt the pith
lie funds, he knows that, it cannot
and should not 'be done; .and-yet he
estimates that the voters suppose it
may. and to get their votes• he pro
poses it, when perhaps. not ;another
Congressman (unless Frith.like con
stithents) would vote With' him for
such an -unjust and extra-eonstitti
tional proposition. Why has not a
man in the mines, or on.a farm, as
. good a right to SAO or $5OO I , i -from
the National Treasury, as a man on
the prairie?
The Freedmen probably have "got
it through their wool," ere this, that
the farm-and-mule cry is a humbug;
but have our miners
: found out that
the farm-and-$5OO also is a base
catering to their assumed ignorance?
I judge not, from the fact that they
have re-nominated the old deniagogue
(who has been with -every party to
stilt the "times): for re-election. Is it,
indeed, true . tilt miners — white-men
—can be easier huMbugged than the
late slavesblack pmen ?
A MORE EXCELLEST WAY
Instead of fraudulent and decep
tive promixt - !s, the Republicans point
,to the
. fad that they have emanci
pated five pillions of' slaves—thus
giving those - laboring people their
natural right to their earnings. They
have told th'e, former Slaveocrates to
work for-thelr own support, or starve.
Theold ficatocracy helped one class
to live,' without work, upon the un
compensated earnings ot . others. 'II.
8-Wright was of that party, The
nepublicani give both `whites and
blacks I.lleir 'right to their own—they
have pttetically enforced the princi
ple of i*pial. and exact justice to at
men," 4.!, regards both their rights
and thoiii labors.
ThetP.publican party has also en
acted the Homestead policy; giving
every. householder on paying expen
es of survey and other tritliwr cost,
land which, may be made into val
uable homes. That is the richest,
boon—save liberty—ever given 1,6
the laboring classes, ;Ills is not,tii
ing one man or sett of men to / help
another—it gives to one without
taking frontittlters. It does/not rob
Peter to pay Paul, but it gives Paul
a chance to help himself without bur
dening or wronging or / taking from
any one else.
And thisis the extent Of the power
of Government 7 not to And men,
work to• gain a
‘ liviri(*, but to proteo t
each man in the equal chance to earn
his own living. It • lays 'upon every.
man his own z duty to sustain hinaself
and his ,own family, providing him
with, security in so doing.. It recog
nizeszevery man as - an independent
freeinan, not as a dependent beggar
_sinking into nothingness and asking
Tor favors. It does not emasculate
and take, all manhood away' from
equals in the struggle for comfort
and honor.
So long as there is public land,'
there is a chance for every man and
his family; and, with ordinary bless
ing, none need be ,tramps or gypsies:
Incidentally, tariff laws. may favor -
`Owe laborers, but can not and should

The real pooi and needy are pro-
Vived for in our country, as well

VIVID METAL BERESEIRATIONS.
Sir Isaac Newton could call up. a
spectrum-of . the sun when, he was in
the dark, - by intense direction of his
mind to the idea of it; r as when a man
looks earnestly to see a thing which
is difficult to be, seen." Dickens used"
to allege that he sometimes heard the
characters of • his novels . actually.
speak to hiin ; and a - great French
novelist declared that when he wrote.

of, arsenic so distinctly in his mouth
that . he \was himselt.poisoned, had a
- severe attack of indigestion, : and

scarcely an appreeiable taste beyond
being sweetish`! Artists sometimes
have, in. an, intense form, the faculty
of such vivid mental presentation. It •
was very notable in that extraordin
ary.genius, William Slake, poet and
painter, who used 'constantly to - see
his conceptions as-actual images or
visions. " You have only," he said;
" to work up imagination to the state
Of vision . , and the thing is' done."
The power is, without doubt;.consis

person who thought it right for him

innocence of Paradise in the back
garden of a Lambeth house, as Illake
did,' was - quite sane; butt too frequent
exercise of the power is fulf:k.)f peril

may call up imag,esim this way,.and

said, "I looked at him attentivel y.

no, no! It is an evidence of a healthy

as well attempt to stop your toe nails '
from growing. It is simply nature's
mode of renewing the scarf skin all
over the body, and the reason why it
is not shown on other parts Of the
body is that the friction of clothin , i
removes it ELS', fast as it is loosened,.
while the hair of. the bead,- if . not of

islation entailing a surrender of
rights upon the part of the Common
wealth at the .bidding of corpora

powers which placed him in the Leg

SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
. The fiat money people are making'
so many and so extravagant state
merits intheir arguments beforethe
people that we receive- daily numer
ous letters asking for infOrnfation:
on various-points. Thus weOrrespon- .
(lent represents, that gr., Glover,
chairman of . the • • Greenback state
committee, in a recenti, speech at
Ilinchly,. 111., devoted some time to
an explanation of the profits Of the.
National hanks from the destruction.
of the bank -notes by fire and Other
:igencies. All the pfofit•. from the,,
destruction of bills accrues to the.
governtnent.. The government issues
the incites and the banks furnish the
.means of redeeming them. The'
hanks. pay taxes on their circulation
nd their deposits ; greenbacks are.
not taxable To substitute - green- .
backs for national bank .notea will
be to substitute" ss3 ',000.,000 of ut
t-:xable currency for a like sum now
f::xed:- We have not 'l yet heard of
the proposition to tax greenbacks. .
These. fiat money people also deal
out strange• versions of.fact concern
ing the paper money, of England and-
France. We' repeat; - 1.. All the pa- .
p<•r money in - France is issued by the
: ,tional Bank of France, and not
'by the governnient. -• 2. The-amourit
outstand ng- is about • $450,( - 00,000.
3. ,It is redeemable on demanditt
(loin, at the bank, Or :its branches.
4. It is not -a legal tender. for pub
lic or_pivate debts to , any amount
whatever.'
A corresp-ndeot at Racine wishes
to know if "the notes of the bank of- '
England are based'en *the wealth of.
the nation," and are money of them
selves, requirink no redemption, and
are in fact never redeemed, the - gold
on deposit in the bank being held
there merely for the convenience, and
never for the purpose of .redeeming
-the- notes. The truth is that the
Bank of England is allowed to issue
notes up to a. eertatain amount ons
deposit of government securities;
for all notes above that limit the •
bank must have a dollar of ) 'gold for .
every dollar of paper oW:et:tiding.
The notes are redeemable on!demand
in gold. A .scarcity of gold in Eng
gland necessitates a contraction of
the bank notes, and anyrserious de
mand on the bank for gold compels
of necessity a retirementpf an equal
amonunt 'of bank snotesi The gov
ernment of Great Britain - does not . ia;
sue paper money, and the notes issu
ed by the Bank of England are se
cured upon nearly the same plan as
notes in this country'. The - Bank of -
England has a permanent but
deposit of national securities - against
which it is. authorized to issue bank
notes. In addition it is authorized
to issue as many banknotes as it has 7
gold on deposit in its' vaults. In this
way the bill holder is protected - at all
times against loss,and the bank note .
is always" equal to coin.--qhfcvl
