Lower and lower the little head pressed, Until It hen dropped on grandpapa's breast: Dear little Goldenhair, sweet be thy rest! We are but children; the things that we do Are as sports of a babe to the Infinite view That marks all oar weakness, and pities letoo. God grant that when night overshadows our way, And we shall be called to account fur our day, He shall fled ns as guileless as Goldenhair's lay. And oh, when awcary, may we be so blest,. As to sink like the Innocent child to our. rest, And feel ourselves clasped to the Infinite breast. REPPS THE COMING WOMAN Such were the words that fell injhoney ed•ac cents from the lips of Zenobia De Vere, one of the most gifted, brilliant and promising young lawyers in the city of N—. Well; indeed, was Zenobia entitled to the proud position she had achieved, unaided, in the ranks of that exacting and jealous fraternity. Left a pen niless orphan, she had surmounted, one after another, the difficulties that beset the path way of the poor and unknown, and by her maiden plea in behalf of an innocent, but too confiding youth, who bad been wronged and betrayed by a wily and heartless decciveress She had electrified the Court and jurywomen by an appeal of mingled pathos and invective Eta powerful that Her Honor, the Judge, was dissolved in tears, and the jurywomen with difficulty restrained their inclination to scratch the defendant's rouge-tinted face, besides mulcting her in heavy damages. Zenobia's face would hardly be deemed beautiful by those whose Ideas of beauty are only satisfied by regularity of features and bloom of complexion ; but the seal of a noble Intellect was stamped upon her broW, while its rays beimed from her deep and eloquent eyc—from both of them in fact—with a be wildering light that blinded the gazer to the composite architecture of her countenance. Many a shy, admiring glance had the stately Zenobia elicited froM the timid and suscepti ble gentlemen of N—; but, coolly Indiffer ent to the shafts of Cupid, she devoted her self, with unflagging zeal and undivided heart, to her chosen profession, invulnerable apparently, to the assault of every passion, save ambition. Yet the time soon came, with the emotional thermometer at the boiling point, when her earnest nature wits stirred to its prahundest deaths. SEAMAN & TRAEGER Clarence Fitz Howard (what a grateful fla vor pervades those aristocratic names !) was the only son of a wealthy stock-broker. While every luxury and indulgence that wealth could command had been his, no pre cautions had been spared, by his circumspect mother, to shield him from improper associa tions and to protect him from the fascinations of designing fortune-huntresses and unprinci pled adventuresses. Nor were these cautions superfluous.. To the allurement of prospective affluence Clarence added charms of the high est order. He was beautiful as a poet's dream. (That is supposed to be rather a nice looking mess, 1 believe.) The suns of twenty Sum mers had touched his waving locks with shim mering gold—if you please ; the roses of twen ty Summers had tinted his downy cheeks with damask hue ; the skies of twenty Summers had lett their azure in his "darkly, deeply, beautifully blue — eyes. He was a blond ; and the wan mustache, just budding beneath his delicately chiseled alabaster nose, was a type of his coy, modest and clinging nature. This was the angelic creature who had thawed the fright heart of Zenobia. They met—the usual way. They loved—ditto. A tidal wave of the tender passion swept over Zenobia's bosom and swallowed up her stern resolve to live alone for fame; while Clarence felt himself drawn to Zenobia by that subtle Influence which attracts the vine to the oak, with a ten dency to twine a little. Then " eyes looked love to eyes which spoke again," and, after the customary interchange of eloquent glances, Zenobia determined to remove all lingerjug doubts uf extorting, from the lips of Clarence, a confession that might confirm her sweet hope of wearing this tender flower in her bosom. So she poured the whispered story of her love into the coy but willing ear of Clarence, whose heightened color,and downcast eyes swimming in unshed tears of happiness, foreshadowed the confession that trembled on his lips. "Speak, sweetest, and bid me hops I" said Zenobia, gently clasping the hand, white as the driven snow (which is much whiter than common snow), of Clarence, "wilt thou be mine ?" BRAMAN di TRAEGER LITTLE GOLI)ENHAIII. Goldenhalr climbed upon graudpapa's knee! Dear little Goldenhalr, tired was she, An the day busy as busy could be. Up In the morning as soon us 'twos light, Out with the birds ond butterflies bright, Skipping About till the coming of night. • Grandpapa toyed with the curls on her head, " What has my darling been doing," he said, "Since she arose with the sun from her bed 7" "Pity much," answered the sweet little one, "I cannot tell so much things I Baps clone.

THE LOVERS! " Speak, sweetest, and bid me hope ?" Faintly returning the pressure of her clasp ing lingers, Clarence "sighed and looked un utterable things," then hid hls blushing face upon Zenobia's shoulder and, gently sighing, breathed as follows: "Ask mamma!"

Ito had scarcely spo ken when a pebble rattled lightly against the French-plate window. "Ile! the signal 1 tie she I" exclaimed Clarence, gliding with sylph-like grace to the window. With a strength borrowed from excitement he raised the sash and peered forth with his liquid orbs into the murky night.

" They that go down to the sea in ships, see the wonders of the deep ;" and they that buy coal mines in Pennsylvania and work them see wonders likewise. They see the wonder of finding themselves, suddenly stripped of their independence and converted Into the servants of their own em ployees. They learn to come and go, do and undo, bow and scrape, simper, smile, shuffle and smirk, at the behest of the " Miner's Union." They enjoy the wonder of seeing orderly men murdered and little or no notice taken of it by Pennsylvania law officers sworn to exe cute the stautes, but who prefer perjury to unpopularity, apparently. The 7 enjoy also the wonder of seeing a legislature lavish all its solicitude upon the miner, without seeming to reflect that his em ployer has a soul to save too. They enjoy, finally, the spectacle of a legis lature delivering into the hands of an Irre sponsible mob the actual control of property belonging wholly to their employers. Such are some of the wonders these men see. The secret of it all lies in the fact that the members of the Miner's Union are a po litical power. They have votes, and there fore legislatures must not offend them nor petty officers see the small Indiscretions which they commit with scalping knife and Der ringer. But the latest wonder is a certain thing which has just become a law in Penn silvania. It is, that every mine shall be un der the control of three persons, whose pre rogative it shall be to order alterations ire the manner of opening or working it, and who shall also close up and stop work upon such mine when in their discretion it shall seem proper to do so. And who appoints these autocrats? The owners of the mine? No. Their employees do it. Nothing need now be deemed Impossible to a Pennsylvania legislature. And who is it into whose hands the legisln- tore has given this high appointing power? Simply an irresponsible society of men who hold meetings, pass laws and enforce them by the agencies of terrorism and blood. When a man goes to work in a colliery tabooed by the Miners' Union, they stick a notice on his door.post suggesting that lie resign his shun. Lion with all convenient dispatch—and they emphasize this suggestion by printing at its top the sign of a coffin. That these "coffin notices,", as they are called, are not inspired by empty bravado, may be gathered from the following telegram, dated Shamokin, March u, and signed by an old respectable resident of that locality : "Luke Fidler colliery was going to work without the Union. The 'Mollie McGnires' of the Union men murdered the watchmen. Three superintendents in one colliery in Sha mokin have been murdered since the troubles in the coal mining districts began, and nothing done about it." These arc the sort of people who are to choose three absolute sovereigns to preside over each mine. These are the people for wiles° "protection" the Pennsylvania legis lature is straining itself to provide. It seems an unnecessary courtesy while ammunition Is so cheap. After saying so much about, lt,do we suggest a remedy I A remedy for secret assassina tion ; for blind and deaf and dumb officers of Justice ; for mob terrorism ; for truckling legis latures I , No ; there is no remedy' for these things. That is no remedy that can be brought into instant use. There is one, but time is required for it., It applies itself, and is simply that remedy which comes to the re lief 0: all disorder, viz : the teaching of reason and fair dealing to all parties concerned, through the convincing agencies of hard ship, disaster and weariness of fighting each other. However, should the Pennsylvania Legis lature take the only step now left it to take for protection" of those persecuted lambs, the miners, and make them absolute,: joint and equal owners with the present nominal pro prietors of the collieries, it is fair to presume that the millenium of peace and order in that Pandemonium would be greatly hastened. Until then, let us continue, as is usual and. proper, to wail for the poor oppressed and down-troden miners ,whose only solace in this cold world, is puttitag up his little "coffin no tice" on his neighbor's door and then help ing to get him read ,y for the funeral.—Bufaio Express. COURT. LicExam—ln the matter of the General Remonstrance against the granting of Licenses to April Term, 1870.—Opinion of the Court...—A re monstrance, so numerously signed by many of the most prominent and respectable citizens of this city, demands that its prayer should receive a respectful consideration, and that the Court shall declare what Is deemed to be the duty of the Court, the duty Of the remonstrants and the privilege, If not the duty of the, citizens generally upon the subject of license and especially as regards the strict enforcement of the laws regulating the sale of liquors. The remonstrants complainz• - -tirstly, that too many places have been licensed as restaurants or beer houses, and that spirituous liquors are fre quently sold by those licensed, and secondly, pray that no new houses shall be licensed and that 11- , cense shall be denied to places heretofore licensed, except there be an absolute necessity for their continuation. It will be observed that this Is a general prayer and one which affords the Court very little aid in adjudging the necessity of aparticular house. A remonstrance to aid effectually the Court,. should present specific charges and at least designate the applicant and place, as regards houses heretofore licensed; it Is asserted that the vendere of malt and brewed liquors frequently sell spirituous liquors. If this charge had been specially made and sustained against an individual applicant by competent proof, It would be doomed good cause to deny a license. Directed against many, collec tively, and proven as to none, the Court will not be justified to act upon it, because in sustaining a charge against a general class, the innocent would be made to suffer with the guilty. If any of the reinonstrants have A personal knowledge or a well founded belief of the viola tion of the law, so that witnesses can be produced who are likely to prove the charge against the keeper of a saloon, it Is, at least, his privilege, If not his duty, to present by legal Information the offender for trial or to resist, by remonstrance and proof the granting of license to such unworthy applicant. The law Is plainly written and when conscientiously administered by the Court and strictly and energetically sought to be enforced by the people, so as to make every vender under stand that every requirement of the law Is to ho strictly observed by him, under a certain penalty of prosecution, conviction and forfeiture of license, for Its violatiou, few if any offenders et ill loug re main among us. • The refusal to grant a license to a person con victed a second time for any unlawful sale of wines, spirituous, malt or brewed liquors is not a discretionary power of the Court, but an actual disability operating against the legal fitness of the applicant disqualifying him at least for two yearn front the date of a second conviction, and, if li censed, making void and forfeiting the license then existing. The venders of liquor may violate the law by wilfully furnishing. Intoxicating drinks by sale, gift or otherwise, to any person of known intem perate habits, to a minor or insane person, or to a person when drank or Intoxicated, or by selling or giving away or knowingly permitting to be drank upon Sunday upon their promises any cider, wines, spirituous, malt or brewed liquors, or any admixture thereof. It is also the duty of the constable of each ward and township to re turn, under oath, at each term of Court, whether he has a knowledge of any snob violation, and if any person shall make known in writing, with his or her name subscribed thereto, to the constable, the name or names of any one violating the liquor license' laws, with the names of witnesses who can prove the fact, it shall be his duty to make return thereof and on failure so to do, the counta ble is guilty of a misdemeanor. Of course, Stich a proceeding should not be bad unless there exists a well founded belief or a reasonable suspicion, that the law hue been violated and that the wit nesses named will be likely to prove that fact. When, however, a licensed vender so conducts his business as to afford a reasonable suspicion of a frequent violation of the law and keeps an open saloon upon the Sabbath day, the citizens desir ing to prevent a continuation of the license may find an efficient remedy by specific remenetrance, and perhaps, under the lute statute of evidence may compel, pending the application for Ileum; the applicant himself to testify as to whether he has violated the law or not. The Court, how ever, do not decide this question at this time. It is preferred not to decide It until a proper case may be brought before the Court and fully argued by learned and competent counsel. An intima tion Is only how given ' that flitch a question may arise some day for decision so that those engaged traffic,i in the may receive tas a timely admoni tion and so conduct their business, that in the event the decision shall be against them, they may not be compelled by their own testimony to defeat their own application. IL to wormed novisaufe to announce that to alt old applications the certificate of twelve trope= table citizens of the ward, borough, or township ie usually received as prima forte proof of the ne. cessity of the place and the deuces of the appli cant. In new applications,however, additional proof is required. By the ee. of 1807 it Is the duty of the Court to hear petitions In addition to that of the applicant in favor of and remonstrance against the uppiteation, and in all cases to refuse the same, whenever in the opinion of the Court. hav ing due regard to the number and character of the Whim:tete for or against shah applicant, such license Is not necessary for the accoramoda lieu of the public and the entertainment of strang ers and travelers, and, upon sufficient cause being shown, tba said Court shall revoke any license grunted by them. Here then Is the machinery by which the citizens in favor of, or opposing a li cense may be fully heard in open Court; a failure to make the contest of remonstrance may be re garded as a tacit admission that there is a neces sity for the license as certified to by twelve repu table citizens. I have deemed it Important to be thus explicit in order that all parties may fully understand their relative rights, so that on the one band those licensed may fully learn that the law cannot be violated without lueurring the peril not only of a forfeiture of license, but of Incurring an actual disability to be licensed for the period of two years after a second conviction. And on the other hand that those who allege a frequent viola tins of the law, may know and follow the reme dies open to them, to compel it faithful observance of the law, or to defeat by remonstrance the granting of the license or secure a conviction of the offender. The Court have no discretionary' power to deny licences to all, for this would be direct prohibition which can only be secured by legislation. Nor have we any desire, nor disposition to do so. Our greatest concern is to place the traffic In the hands of responsible and law abiding citizens so that all the requirements of the law may be faith fully observed. The law declares a necessity for some, and whenever twelve reputable citizens certify to the necessity of place and to the fitness of the applicant—as regards old ap plications,—there is presented prima. farina proof, to warrant the granting of some. That proof, however, may be overcotne by the remon strance of a greater number of citizens denying the necessity of the place, or the fitness of the ap plicant, as is permitted by the Act of 1807. It may not be improper to remark that I regard the present license laws wail adapted to control the traffic of liquor, and that while the sale is en trufted (as It Is) to many of omitted citizens little, if any tibiae of the privilege or violation of the law p evndl , anima that. class, The foregoing opinion is chiefly an exposition of the law, and Is announced by the President Judge alone. My Associates, however, concur with me in announcing that those who are licensed aro admonished to strictly obey the law, and that repented violations thereof will be deemed good cause to refuse the license of such unworthy ap plicant, and that the best endeavors of this court will always be used to secure a faithful adminis tration of the law, so that all offenders shall be punished, and to this end the earnest co-operation of all good citizens is respectfully Invited. By the Court A. B. LONGAISER., Pree't Judge. REMINISCENCES OF GENERAL THOMAS. General Thomaa was nearly six. feet Wt. of large frame, and an imposing statute. His limbs were massive. He possessed a firm mouth, square jaw,' and a steady blue eye. He was habitually grave. He watt seldom known to amile.. Yet, though serious and un, detnonstmtive, he was mild, and kind, and amiable in his actions. He often seemedeold and impassive, but certainly as careless about hie own feelings as he was impervious to those of others. After the battle of Chickamauga, and when be must have been perfectly con scious that he had saved Rosecrans' army and the whole region, he sat half an hour drink ing coffee, and did not once allude to the fight. No one would have known that there had been any. In battle he sat lilts a statue, with scarcely a motion, heedless of bullets, ocea. atonally roused to enthusiasm by the success of one of ilia manoeuvres, but blushing if his feeling was discovered. He was seldom moved to sager, but when it camp it was frightful. An infantry colonel stole a horse I from a Union farmer in Kentucky, who came to. Thomas and complained. Ile poured out a torrent of Invective upon the officer, pulled him from the horse, tore the epaulets from his shoulders, made him return the horse, and pay the farmer for his trouble. . + * * His talents and his organization were not of a glittering fascinating kind. But neither were they superficial and easily worn threadbare. He was slow and cautious In undertaking, but bold and indonfitable In executing.

He never heated it In rashness. Thus he. often succeeded when others failed. He never do predated his merits, because he felt that he succeeded by study, by preparation) organi.' zation, system. He won in accordance with --- I rules ; which, however, he mastered and sub dued;.and was not their creature. Gm. Thomas was simple, severely so, In his habits of life and dress : yet he was an aristocrat in whom there could be no guile. Ills was an aristocracy of worth, not of pride, of money or position, He was a gentleman of the olden school, whose self-resped was too great to allow the commission of a dis honorable or a meretricious act. He never ate, even in the army, except from solid silver service, but always of plain, wholesome food. An indulgence ld wines and liquors was the exception, and then never when a young man was present. Profanity found no place upon his lips. In all his service, those the most • intimate 'Aver knew him. to be thrown off his guard, or to give expression to a warm, hasty or indignant word. He never was compelled to apologize for wounds caused by indisere Lion either In temper or language. He was a complete master of himself. His headquarters were always a model of neatness, sobriety, and discipline. * * * He was so indiffer ent to all pomp and circumstance'of war, on the other hand, that though made a Major. - General on April 25, ho had no stars on Ills coat until after the battle of Stone River, eight months afterward, 'and they were put on by the strategy of his servant, at the instigation of some members of his staff. He wore his colonel's coat until the moment of his taking command at Mill Spring, though he had been a Brigadier-General six months. The Lynchburg Virginian recalls the fol. lowing Incident in which the life of the hero was saved to his country : We have heard from a member of the family, that when the General was a child, during the period of the Southampton Insur rection, he was saved from violent death by his elder - sister who, escaping from their dwelling, carried him in her arms to the woods, just in time to same him from the avenging furies led by Nat. Turner. The fu ture General escaped the fate that happened to many others during that negro insurrec tion. "INFANT MANUFACTURES." The World has evidently a poor opinion of the statemanship of Colbert, Napoleon 1., Alexander Hamilton, Madison, Clay, and their school, because they know no better than to advocate Protection to Home Industry. Here is its short end easy method of dealing with tho geniuss - fame and of Heriry,Clay : " Mr. Clay contended that our infant man ufactures required the fostering care of the Government, because the country was ad now and undeveloped. They needed Protection against foreign rivals to enable them to take root while we were acquiring the experience and skill which would enable us to stand the competitien on err . al terms. It is needless to inquire whether this Ix as a valid argument for Protection at the tini.J it was so warmly pressed. It is obvious enough that it was an argument which would, year by year, lose its force with the proeTess of the eiperim ent. Infancy cannot be r...ipetual. 'l4 after the lapse of forty years, our manufactures are es heirless es they were when this argument was constantly in the elm:: ut of tiro Protection ists, that fact alone would prove the argument unsound. If a higher tariff is needed now than was thought suflicient for our infant manufactures' in 1821, there must have been a fundamental fallacy in the arguments for temporary Protection until our native manu factures could take root and get established. But if, on the other hand, the theory was sound, and Protection was only needed, to support the tottering steps of infancy till it could learn to walk alone, our manufactures' -Must have long ago oetgrown the necessity of Buell assistance. It will hardly do for the baby of 1824 to plead the claims of babyhood in 1970. From the very nature of the infancy argument, every year of Protection should have rendered our manufactures more self subsistent, and better able to stand alone with out Government support." • Comments by The Tribvite. Undoubtedly, the fact that our " country was so new and undeveloped" was sue of the grounds on which Mr. Clay commended Pro tection to Homo Industry. Results have jua tilled his warmest anticipations. We are now making an immense variety of Wares and Fabrics whereof the quality is unsurpassed and the cheapness remarkable. Edge Tools, Spades and Shovels, Cut Nails, Plain and Printed Cottons, Plows and nearly every inn- element used by farmers except Chaim, are included in this category. We export most of these articles to British Colonies, and sell them there in preference to their British rivals, because ours are. decidedly' the better and practically the cheaper. We judge that a large majority of the Wares and Fabrics used by the common people of this country aro supplied to them cheaper to-day than they would or could to if wo had never had a tariff. But there are other American manufactures which are still in their infancy. Steel, for in stance, we are just beginning to make in con siderable quantities ; up to this hour, we have probably imported ninety-nine per cent. of all we have used since oar Independence. Mak ing it in perfection is a difficult art, requiring vast aggregations of skill, experience, and cap ital. We shall master it. yet, as we have mas tered kindred arts: but it is a work of time, and our efforts aro embarrassed by a great party which does its worst to enact toward this infant the ruthle , s part of Herod. If that party would just follow in the footsteps of its Sato idol Slavery, and get itself decently and lished deeply buried, this work could be accomp in half the years than will otherwise be re, , quired. Ten years ago, hardly a Saw was made in America ; now, we are making more and bet ter titan we import—making them cheaper than we did or could buy them when we looked to Englund to supply us. Give us ten years more of Protection, and we shall cond. dentl expect to see the timber of Canada sawed y with our saws, as it is already chopped with our axes. Shawls and Hosiery are among the recent additions to our home productions. Yet A. T. Stewart reports our Shawls as cheriplin cur renc under Protection as they were ten years y ago under comparative Free Trade and a Yankee has recently invented and put to work at (Now Brunswick, N. J.) inventions certain to cheapen and revolutionize the man ufacture of Hosiery throughout the world. • Thus we have mantactures that may fairly " plead the claims of babyhood in 1970," as well as manynthat have, thanks to protection, reached the fall stature of manhood.; We ocean to sustain these and perfect •those. All alike have to struggleagainat the advantages possessed by their European rivals ,in cheap p capital and chea labor. Glve us ample capi tal at 5 percent. and Mbar et European prices, and we can make even Pig iron as cheap as Europe ean ; but we cannot dp this with la bor averaging $2 per day as cheaply as they can who pay bet Miff that prico. Our work men choose to he hotter paid than aro those of Europe ; and WkAmpikr,tliekr choice a wise one. Prof. Perry nays that Isonlething that passes for a workman's suit of clothes sells in London for £1 or $5 gold. What must be the wages and living of the tailor who makes it may be safely guessed. Our workingmen. prefer to live' on a higher plane ; end this - makes some things dearer (in money) here than abroad ; but we get on nevertheless, and British mechanics and artisans escape to us whenever they can. We are not devising ways and means to exile thousands of our ar tificers and skilled workmen at the public cost, as they are in London; • This country never yet increased more rapid ly in population, in production, •in wealth, titan it has done throughout the last year—is doing now. It constructed so many comforta ble• dwellings in no previous four years as in the last four ; but it will construct still more in the next four if Protection shall remrdn our public policy.. And never fear .that it will not. • 4LLENTOTVIf. PA =1
