The Angel of the Sunset.
Beside the sunset's golden gates
An Angel waits,
Bach evening as the Day goes through,
And, ere it treads the silent lands,
Of it demands
To hear its story, full•and true,
And taking then a sunbeam bright,
With it doth write
Upon a never-fading scroll,
Whato'or recital he may hear
Of gloom, or cheer—
The shameful, or the glorious whole
And when each glad, eaoh falt'ring word
At last is hoard,
And to tho deathless pages givon,
With smiling, or with pitying look
Ho shuts tho book
And hands the record up to Heaven
Of all that ho lens written there,
'Tis ours to hear
The glory or tho bitter shame.
He is more merciful than just,
0, let us trust, •
And hope that Heaven is tho same.

"Andy is our Man."
BY EOSIE LEE.
Como office-seekers ovoryWhoro, como now both
groat and small,—
Arch-rebel, fiend,or traitor foe,—thero's room enough
for all !
But who is not a Johnson man must quickly change
his mind,
For Unionists are not the style who Andy's favor
find;
Or else adopt this magic plan, 'twill take you safely
through,
-
Just don the Southern •garli of grey, and doff the
Union blue 1
Ho's prOved a traitor to hie vow, and to his country's

Who should be champion of her rights, defender of

And those who made our country bleed arc now his
chosen ones
Who robbed our children of their sires, our widows
of their sons,
Who filled our homes with mourning deep, our lands
with crimson waves
From hearts that beat the bravest once, now in their
rough-made graves!
Oh, well ho loves the Southerners, for ono at heart'is
he ;
And safe aro all his traitor friends when unto him
they flee.
Our arch-foe Davis need not fear ; ho will not want
for aught
While Andrew Johnson keeps his seat or friends for
gold are bought.
Too any office, high or, low, his followers aspire
They've but to mako their wishes known to find
their heart's desire!
He'd have us pay the Southern debt! We've paid

Of noble mon who fought and bled, and died in bat.

We've paid it all, too dearly paid, with starved and

Who long in Libby prison lay,—that mighty slaugh

And shall no cry of protest riso against this from

It does : a voice is speaking clear from every sol
diers' mound!
AL ! must we honor those who shed their brothers'
blood for naught
More than our own brave, noble men, who for their
country fought?
And, more, must we before them bow, wrong triumph
over right,
And conquerors yield to those who wore the van
quished in the fight ?
No ! right end truth can never fail, for' Heaven
shields the bravo ;
And slavery must fool the rod, for God has power to

A Bicgraphy of Roister Clymer
Hiester Clymer was born in Berks co., Penn
sylvania in the year 1827, ofrespectable parent.
age. He had the benefit of a liberal education,
studied law, and was admitted to practice at the
Reading bar.
Nothing was heard of him in public life un
til the year 1850, when he commenced his pol
itical career by running for the Legislature on
the Whig ticket, in Berks county. Of course
he was not elected. He, however, ran behind
Gen. Wm. H. Beim, the Whig candidate for
Congress, 1509 votes.'
He remained a whip until 1856,:when he join
ed the Democratic ranks.
In 1860 he ran for the State Senate, on the
Democratic ticket, to fill vacancy; and he has
represented his county in that position for the
last six years.
The Legislative Record, of this period, will
be searched in vain for any evidence that Mr.
Clymer was identified with any measure ofgreat
or public importance. It shows him as only
taking part in ordinary or local legislation, ex
cept when it became necessary to speak or
vote on the great questions involved -in the
maintenance of the national authority against
the revolutionary attempts of the seceding
States. On all such questions he was invaria
bly in sympathy with the rebellion. Bntlet the
Record speak for him.
On the 12th day of April, 1861, the day of
the rebel assault upon Fort Sumter, he opposed
and voted against the bill for arming the State.
—See Legislative Record for 1861, gages 843-
5, &c.
On the 15th of April, after the news of the
fall of Sumter had been received, and the North
ern heart had been fired by this insult to the
national flag, Mr. Clymer with his five disloyal
colleagues, entered on the Journal of the Sen
ate their solemn protest against the passage of
the bill for arming the State.—See Leg: Record
for 1861. pages 802-3.
In the session of 1863, during the dark days
of the. Republic, and when reverse had overtak
en her armies, Mr. Clymer voted aginst sus
taining them in the field, by voting against the
joint resolutions of the Legislature to provide
for the collection . of the direct tax levied by the
United States.—See Leg. Recordfor 1862.pay
es 154-5.
On the 9th and 10th of April, 1863, on the
consideration and final passage of the bill to
authorize those in the military and naval ser
vice of the United States to vote, he voted with
his Democratic colleagues against every sec
tion.—Same, page 808.
In the session of 1864, on the 9th of March,
upon the joint resolutions proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution authorizing the sold
diers to vote, Mr. Clymer being present, dodg•
ed ; and in the afternoon of the same day, hav
ing asked leave to record his vote, the Senate
retuned.—Sea I,egislateue Record 1865, pages
335, 341.
And later in the session, when a bill was in
troduced to carry this amendment into effect,
Mr. Clymer not only spoke against it, but with
his twelve Democratic colleagues voted against
it.—See Legislative Record 1864, page 509.
During the session of 1864 Mr. Clymer voted
against joint resolutions in favor of a law to de
fine and punish treasonable offenses.—See Leg.
Record 1863,pages 203-8.
During the same session he voted against the
bill to legalize the payment of bounties to vol
unteers. This was on the eve of the invasion
of the State, and but three months .before the
battle of Gettysburg.—&e Leg. Record 1883,
pages 809-11.
On the 6th of March. 1863, Mr. Clymer op
posed giving Andrew:Johnson,then Governor of
Tennessee, the privilege of speaking at the Cap
itol of Pennsylvania on behalf of the loyal men
of the South. He denounced him as a usurper,
charged him with "upturning every principle
on which this Government is founded ;" with
having "bent the suppliant knee before the
throne of power )" and that "for elf or some
other consideration" he hakyleided to the mew
Mil of the Government* He Author spoke of
him as a "mere hireling of Federal patronage
and pciwer.—See Legislative Record 1863,pages
376-7.
On the'2lst of April, 1863, he addressed a
public meeting called under his auspices, and
held at the 'Court House in Reading, Berks co.
Among other violent and inflamatory language
against the General Government, he advanced
the "resistange by force to an invasion of our
personal freedom" is a virtue," and "that we do
not approve of this war as at present conduct
ed. IVe never did approve of it in itself."
On the 24th of August t 1863, in his Somer
set speech, Mr. Clymer declared that if Wood
ward and Vallandigham were elected Govern
ors of Pennsylvania and Ohio, they, with Sey
mour, of New York, and Parker, of New
.Jer
sey, would t , nite in recalling from the army the
troops of their respective States, and thus com
pel the Administration to call a convention of
States to make terms with the traitors.
On the 3d of February, 1864, when Mr. Cly
mer was charged with having littered such a
sentiment, he failed to justify himself, and went
so far as to declare thatthe United State.Oov
ernment then "presented a mournful spectacle
among the nations of the earth."
Mt. Clymer was afterward a supporter of the
Chicago platform, which declared "that after
four years of 'failure to restore the Union by the
experiment of war,' immediate efforts should be
made for a cessation of hostilities."
1312
And his whole public career, and all his offi
cial acts and private declarations have uniform
ly been consistent with the abovb record. lle
might rule over South Carolina or Virginia, but
never over the loyal men of Pennsylvania.
A Portrait D raven in Chalk
I=
"Show me who has been engaged in these
conspiracies, who has fired upon our flag, who
has given instructions to take our forts and
custom houses, and arsenals, and dockyards,
and I will show a traitor. Werel President of
the United States, I would do as Thomas Jef
ferson did, in 1806, with Aaron IThrr. I would
have them arrested, and if convicted, within
the meaning and scope of the Constitution, by
the Eternal God, I would execute them 1"
Andrew Johnson in the Senate, March 2d, 1861,
"I believe we must leave the killing out,
when all is done."—Robert Starveling,the Tail
or. Midsummer Night's dream.
In my opinion, a certain notorious represen
tative of our craft is but a 80-89 journeyman ;
after running well for a time, he is taking long
back-stitches. He is trying to mend our na
tional breaches with shoddy. He is putting
new pockets into our national coat-of-arms, for
foreign insult, and patching its grand bullet
holes with old confederate gray. I suspect he
is going into the old do' business—this same
Mr. Moses. He has sponged out his old hon
orable record, and is no longer a credit to our
cloth. In undertaking to fit the grand mantle
of the great President to his diminutive propor
tions, he has clipt, and snipt, and "reconstruct
ed" it into a monkey jacket.
He'll not give the rebels - the hasty basting
they deserve, but is bent upon binding up their
wounds. He is not the man to end J. D's.,
thread of life with a slip-knot.
He has sat too long on a narrow bench to
stand firm and erect on a broad platform.
. •
In my opinion, all said A. J.'s stories of
great sacrifices for the Union, are "cut out of
the whole cloth." Ho can't make me swallow
tales of that sort.
He is too well used to turning his coat. He
isn't 'sound on the goose." He will make a
cabbage-garden of the White House grounds.—
He would extinguish liberty's torch with a
thimble. His needle turns to the South Pole.
I would there wore another needle in the sc•lt
of government; to prick him op to duty !
I confess I don't admire his roundabout pol
icy. I don't like his habits ; they are either too
loose•or too tight. I.don't like his measures.—
He don't fit the situation. There is too much
seeming about him. He is a poor feller. He
overcasts our fair sky with doubt, and skirts it
with lightnings. He keeps the nation in "sus
pendtrs" as Mrs. Partington would say. I
would set him to making corduroys. He isn't
fit for our ducks—dux. He needs buckram in
his principles. He wants drilling. He has less
heart than padding. He hasn't "a soul above
buttons." He faces both ways. He is full of
platitudes. He doesn't gather wisdom from
experience. He tucks and trims. Hisjudg
ment is warped. He don't list to good advice.
He would come the Nap. over us, with his
yard-stick for a sceptre. He wants men after
his.own pattern to tbllow in the path ho chalks
out. He waxes saucy, but if he don't mind his
eye in threading his way, he'll raise the choler
of the nation, and get hemmed in and pressed
on all sides. He needs to be stayed, to be
slashed, to be goreckto be a inked.
If the fates should be inolined to cut him off
with his own shears, I for one should say, "Cut
away." If fortune were about to undo him, 1
should say, "Let her rip I"
GOT SHOT
"Bill don't you know that dad don't allow
you to buy shot ?" asked a young urchin of a
brother who was somewhat his senior, who was
making a purchase of that article.
"You just never mind me. I'd thank you to
attend to your own business, Mister Bob. I
don't care what dad allows ; I'll buy what I
please."
Little boy slightly agitated. "I'm going to
tell dad," rushed out of the store and runs down
street, and bounces into the' room where the
old man was quietly reading the morning pa
per.
"Dad, dad, Bill went and got shot."
"Good heavens !" cried the old man, drop
ped his paper in consternation, and bolting for
the door. "Where is he ?"
"Down to Thompson's store," responds Bob.
L. his excitement the old man forgot to re
move his "reading specks," and in going down
the steps misjudges the distance to the pave
ment, steps off to soon, and comes sprawling
on all fours.
He gathers himself up, and starts for the
store. The pavement appears to be about the
level of his knees, consequently in his violent
endeavors to keep it under him, he cut a very
ludicrous figure, and drew from the astonished
bystanders suclia roar as was never bestowed
upon a single individual since the world began.
"Say, there, old Lift Up, where are you go
ing , what train do you want to catch ?" cries
one..
"What will you take to give us a jig ?" in
quires another.
"Where'd you learn that step?" asks a third
and thus ho is assailed on every side.
But he hears not the scoffs and sneers ofan
one he cares tor nothing—nothing but Wil
iam.
At length his tedious march is brought to a
close by arriving at the store where Bill is
stretele out, taking it easy. The old man,
supposing him badly hurt rushes up to him
frantically, exclaimed :
"Oh, William I William I where are you
wounded ?"
"What's the matter, dad ? Ye going crazy?"
exclaims Bill, raising on his elbow, and casting
a look of astonishment at the old man.
"Wh . y, Robert said you'd got shot I"
"So I did—l got half a pound of the bee
duck shot in the store."
The old man left amid noise enough to
drown a thunder clap. As might be supposed,
Bob got the lamming and Bill didn't.

"Miserable sinners I" Mrs. Petroleum comes

murmurs through the words over her gold-clasp

"not at home." But then, of course, Mrs, Pe

Mrs. Smithers goes to church, groansout the
resposes with the loudest of the elegantly clad
"miserable sinners," melts into tears over the
sermon, behind his gold spectacles, and realty
fancies he is doing a land-office business in the
matter of repentance. For the moment, per
haps, he is. And then on Monday.morning he
goes down-town, sharp-set as a pruning -knife;
to sell a lot of damaged goods to the California
market at: fancy prices, or to palm off several
cartons of last year's styles to country storekeep
ers as the "latest noveltie's in market." But
then, business is business, and Mr. Smithers'
abstract conviction of his own unworthiness on
Sunday don't at all affect his keen eye after in
terest on AIL nday. He will puta ten-dollar bill
on the plate next week, and all the neighboring
worshippers will say within themselves, "What
a noble-hearted, generous fellow Smithers is I a
pity there are not more like him."
Ah, Mr. Smithers, do you remember who said,
"Do unto others as yon would that they should
do unto your and, "With what measure ye
mete, it shall be measured unto you?"
Neither is Mrs. Smithers any exception to the
general rule.
"If ye plate, ma'am, Mrs. Tedious is down
stairs," says Betty.
"Mrs. Tedious I How provoking Of all
mornings in the world, when I wanted all my
time for the dressmaker! •And she'll stay for
ever—the tiresome, stupid old bore! I do wish
she would remain at home !"
And Mrs. Smithers with a'dcep groan adjusts
her cap ribbons and goes down stairs with an
artificial smile on her lips.
"My dear Mrs. Tedious, this is indeed an un
expected treat! How kind of you to think of
me when you have so ninny friends to claim
your attention I lam so,glad to see you! Now
do take off sour things and stay to lunch !"
And so on, ad libitum.
"But this is nothing more than ordinary civ
ility," says the world. Yes, it is—considerably
more. Of course Mrs. Smithers is not expect
ed to tell Mrs. Tedious to her face that she is
a bore and an intolerable nuisance ; but where
is the necessity for all these honeyed phrases
of delight and flattery with which the poor'old
lady is fairly overwhelmed ? A falsehood is' a
falsehood, and nothing less venial, gloss it over
as you will.
Mr. Plastic is a "miserable sinner" too. ,At
least he so informs the congregation in sonor
ous accents—but, nevertheless, he don't believe
any such thing. And he bullies his clerks, and
storms at his wife, and scolds the servants, and
kicks the dog, without the least sting of con
science. Isn't he a church member? He rides
down in the cars with the window wide open,
although the pale young man at his side ties an
extra handkerchief round his throat,and coughs
consumptively ever and anon. Hasn't Plastic
,a right to his own window?
He makes a spittoon of the silk skiri, nearest
to him, without the slighest compunction—why
can't women keep their dresses out of the way 7
He jostles the little child in the street and
knocks its hat over its blue eyes—why don't peo
ple keep their children at home ?
And he - gives the wan little beggar who
pleads for a "penny" in charge of the next po
liceman. He won't be bothered with ragged
brats at his heels !
Yet Mr. Plastic expects to go to Heaven.---
Well, perhaps he may; but we wouldn't give
much for his chance ! ,
"Miserable sinners I" Not sinners in great
things, perhaps, are we all; but small sins

A Parable
A certain tyrant sent for ono of his subjects,
and said to him, "What is your employment?"
He said, "I am a blacksmith•"
"Go home and milks me a chain of such a
length."
He went home ; it occupied him several
months, and he had no wages all the time he
was making it. Then he brought it to the mon
arch, and he said :
"Go and make it twice as long."
He brought it up again, and the monarch
said :
"Go and make it longer. still."
Each time he brought it, there was nothin,
but the command to make it longer still. An
when he brought it up at last, the inonarc
said :
"Take it, and bind him hand and foot with it,
and cast him into a furnace of fire."
These were the wages of making the chain.—
Here is a meditation for you, ye servants of the
devil. Your master, the devil, is telling you to
make a chain. Some have been fifty years iu
welding the links of the chain ; and he says :
"Go and make it still longer."
Next Sabbath , morning you will open that
shop of yours, and put another link on ; next
Sabbath you will be drunk, and put on another
link; next Monday
. you will do a dishonest ac
tion ; and so you will keep on making fresh
links to this chain ; and when you have lived
twenty more years, the devil will say :
"More links on still."
And then, at last, it will be, "Take him and
bind hini hand and fiziot,and cast him into a fur
nace of fire."
"For the wages of sin is death."
There is a subject for your consideration. I
do not think it will be sweet; but if God makes
it profitable, it will do you good. You must
have strong medicines sometimes when the dis
ease is bad.
