JAMES WKItfEY, I W. D. Biolek. Secretary. Burgess. I Jans , MM. 3i. LAE0E. There's a never dying chorus, Break ing on the human ear, In the busy town before us Voices loud, and deep, and clear. This is labor's endless ditty: 1 bis is toil's prophetic voice, Sounding through the town and city Pidding human hearts rejoice. Sweeter than the poet's singing Is that anthem of the free ; Blither is the anvil's ringing Than the song of bird and bee. There's a glory in the rattle Of the wheels 'mid factory gloom ; R'cher than e'er snatched from battls Are the trophies of the loom. See the skillful mason raising Gracefully you towering pile. Round the forge and furnace blazing Stand the noble m?n of toil. They are heroes of the people. Who the Wealth of nation's raise; EjtTy dome-, and spire. nd steeple Rear their beads in labor's praise. Glorious tutu of truth and labor, Shepherds of the huuiiin fold, Tbat sh.ill lay the brand and saber With the bnrb:.rous things of old Priests nd prophets of croitiou, Blood lefs heroes in the 6ht Toilers of the world's salvation. Messengers of peuce and light. Speed the plow and speed the harrow; Peace and plenty fend abroad ; Better far the spade and barrow Than the chiuiou or the sword. Each invention, each improvement, Renders weak oppression's rod ; Every sign and every movement Brings us nearer truth and God. A Touching Story. The following alfectiiig narrative purports to have bt-eu iriveu by u lather to hi.s son. as a warning derived troui his own bitter ex perience ol grieving and rc-isting a mother s love and eounpel. What asrony was visible on my mother's face when :she saw that all the said and suf t'ercd iaiied to move me ! She rose to go home and I followed at a distance. She spk no more to me till bhe reached her own door. "It is school time now," said she. "Go ray son, and once more let me beseech you to think upon what 1 have said. "I shan t go to school," said I. She looked astonished at my coldness. but replied firmly : Certainly, you will go, Alfred, l com mand you." "I will not, said I, in a tone ot defiance. One of two thinzs you must do, Alfred either go to school this morning, or 1 will lock you in your room, and keep you there till you are ready to promise implicit obeui- cuce to my wishes in the future." 1 dare you to do it, you can t get me up stairs. "Alfred, choose now," said my mother, who laid her hand upon my arm. She trem bled violently and was deadly pale. "It you touch me a will kick vou,' sari I in terrible rage. God knows I knew not what I said. "Will you go Alfred?" said she. "No." I replied, but quailed beneath her eye. "1 hen to'.low me, said she, as sLe grasp ed my arm firmly. 1 raised my loot oh, my son, hearme! I raised my foot and kicked her my sainted mother ! How my head reels as the torrent of memory rushes over me I kicked my mother, a feeble woman my mother! She staxered back a few steps, and leaned against the wall. She did not look at me ; 1 saw her heart beat against her breast. "Oh! Heavenly Father," said she, "for give him, he knows not what he does !" The gardiier ju.-;i. then passed the door, ami seeing my mother pale and almost un able to support herself, he stopped. She beckoned him in. "Take this boy up stairs, and lock him in his room," said she, and turned from me. Looking h ick as she Wa entering her room, she gave such a look of agony, mingled with tli j most intense love ! it was the last unut terable pang from a heart that was broken. " In a moment I found myself a prisoner in my own room. I thought, for a moment, I would fling myself from the open window, and dash my brains out, but I felt afraid to do it. I was not penitent. At times piy heart was subdued but uiy stubborn rride rose in an instant, and bade me not yield. The pale face of my mother haunted me. I flung myself in bed and feel asleep. Just at twilight I heard a footsteep approach the door. It was my sister. "What may I tell my mother for you?" she asked. "Nothing," I replied. "Oh, Alfred ! tor my sake, for all our sakes say that you are sorry. She longs to forgive you." I would not answer. I heard her foot steps slowly retreating, aid again I threw myself on the bed, to pass another wretched and fearful night. Another footstep slower and'leel.ler than my sister's disturbed me. A voice called me by name. It was mv mother's. "Alfred, my son, shall I come ?" she asked. I can not tell v hat influence, operating at that moment made me speak adverse to my feelings. The gentle voice of my mot h er thrilled through me, and melted the ice of my obdurate heart, and I longed to throw myself on her neck, but I did not. But my words gave the lie to my heart when I said I was not sorry. I heard her withdraw, .l" heard her groan. I longed to call her back, but'I-dtri ot " I was awakened from my uneasy slumber, by hearing my name called loudly and my sister stood at my bedside. ' "Get up, Alfred. Oh don't wait a mra ute ! Get up, and come with me. Mother is dying." I thought I waa dreaming, but I got up melancholy and followed my sister. On the bed, and cold as marble lay my mother. She had thrown herself on the bed to rest ; arising to go again to me, she was seized with a palpitation of the heart, aud borne senseless to her room. I can not tell you with what agony I looked upon her ; my remorse was tenfold more bitter from the thought that she would never know it. 1 believed myself to be her murderer. I fell on the bed beside her. I could not weep. My heart burned in my bosom ; my brain was on fire. My sister threw her arms around me, and wept in silence Suddenly we saw a light motion of mother's hand ; her eyes unclosed. She had recoved consciousness, but not speech. She looked at me and moved her lips. I could not understand her words. "Mother, mother!" I shrieked, "say only that you fordVfi lriv" Shrt r-iMiM rmt vair It n-nli Ytnr- up. tiut ner hand pressed mine, bhe smiled upon me, and lifting her thin white hands, she daiml mv own within thorn. and oat her eyes upward. She moved her i hps in prayer, an.l thus he died. I remain ! ed still kiKii'lintr besi le that dear form till ; uiy penile sister removed me. The joy of ViH'tli Uitil T.riM li.mrr.r Boys who spurn a mother's control, who are ashamed to own that they are wrong, who think it manly to re.-i.it her authority, or yield to her influence, beware ! Lay not up for yourselves bitter memories for future years. TJct oxe more Left. The recently pub lished statement that, the last Revolutiona ry pensioner was deal is incorrect. The er ror arose from the fact that in the last year ly report of the Commissioner the name of Samuel Downing, of Edetiburg, Saratoga county, New York, was accidentally omitted from the list of the surviving heroes of the Revolution A late letter received by the Commissioner from an agent of the bureau states that Mr. Dowing is over one hundred and four years of ae, but that notwithstand ing he is extraordinary active and promises to live for several years. As an evidence of his physical vigor, the agent says that a few weeks since he rode four miles in order to sign his pension papers, and . ascended a flight of stairs with the ease and agility of a man bearing but the weight ot half his age. Democracy. The national prestige of the Democratic name is gone. The Democ racy is associated with treason, rebellion and civil war. Under Democratic ascendancy the conspiracy was conceived and matured. Under a Democratic Administration it ri pened. By Democratic politicians it was de fended and excused. By a Democratic con vention it was declared triumphant. By Democratic organs and orators, as far as they dare, the theories from which the re bellion sprung, are still justified. The Democratic party has forced its best men from its ranks. It has prostituted a noble name to the basest purpose. At some time that name may become respectable, but for the present the American people have had quite enough of Democracy." An auctioneer was selling a libraty, at auction. He was not very well read in books, but he scanned the titles, trusted to luck for the contents, and went ahead. "Here you have Bunyan's Pilgrim's J'rog re3." he said ; "how much 'm I offered for it? How much do I hear for the Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan? 4Tis a first rate book, gentlemen, with six superior il lustrations; how much do I hear? All about the Pilgrims, by John Bunyan 1 Tells where they came from, an' where they land ed, an' what they done after they landed ! Here's a picter of one of 'em going about Plymouth peddlio', with a pack onto his back.,' - The Rhode Island Legislature. The little State of Rhode Island has a model Legislature. That body adjourned on Fri day last, after a session of four days, during which no less than eighty-three acts and resolutions were passed. Rhode Island law makers must be paid by the job, and not by the day, or else they are chosen from the class of useful citizens who do not go to the Legislature to make a living oat of the busi ness. Some other Legislatures might learn a profitable lesson from the Rhode Island ers. ,.m, Now, a3 new pension and bounty laws are being discussed, ex-soldiers begin to under stand the value of their discharge papers. It may not be generally known, however, that by a provision of law these discharges may be recorded like deeds and other im portant papers, at the County Recorder's office. Alter the paper is placed on record, a certified copy from the office is always ta ken as evidence, and the destruction or loss of the original papers is of no particular consequence. Gen. Geary's receptions in various parts of the State, which he is casua ly visiting, are ot the most enthusiastic character. He is hailed by the so'diers as one f their ablest leaders and greeted by the people as one of their bravest def euders. N o candi date for Governor ever started with bright er prospects, and no man was ever elected by a larger majority than that Geary will receive. According to Gen. Stoneman's report of the Memphis riots, the investigation shows that not less tlun twenty-four negroes were brutally murdered. Eight of the number had been United States soldiers, and were acting under the orders 6T the Provost Mar shal, and therefore jcame in conflict with the disorderly. The report is severe "upon the conduct of the people of Memphis. - w-' A man in New York has raised one hun jirerl thousand young trout, which he sold .at $50 per thousand for stocking sams and ponds.

The Soldier's and Sailor's Convention at Pittsburg, on June 5th, 1S66, passed the following resolutions amidst shouts of ap Drobation : Whereas, Wc, the representatives of the soldiers and sailors of Pennsylvania assem bled in convention, in obedience to a call recoguized and formally acted upon through out the Commonwealth, having in remem brance the sufferings and trials endured in the successful struggle against a gigantic re bellion, and being determined to perpetuate the great principles established by our arms and sanctified by the blood of our comrades, do resolve First. That we return to the Omnipotent Ruler of the Universe our sincere and heartfelt thanks for the crowning victory vouchsated to our efforts against a rebellion which had for its object the destruction of our great Republic. Second. That the tender care exercised by our Government aud people for the re mains of our martyred heroes, for their widows and orphans, commands our warm est gratitude. Third. That it is contrary to public pol icy, and subversive of the great principles won by our patriotic blood, to permit any men to hold ofbees of honor or profit under the General Government, who, by word or deed, embarrassed the Union aimies, or cast odium on the cau.se for which they fought. Fourth. That the soldiers of Pennsylva nia should organize in their respective counties, to take care that the triumph of the army be not fruitless, and the results of our first endeavors remain ungathered by concessions of any material points in issue in our struggle to the defeated party, or by yielding advantages fairly won ; and we projose the following platform as a ba sis of organization : Fiftu That such treatment should be ac corded to the defeated foe as the most chiv alric magnanimity requires; but without yielding a principle compromising the rights, or, above all. deserting an ally. . Sij:th. That 6uch and so many guaran tees shall be demanded from the South and incorporated in the National Constitution as are neces.-aary to prevent the recurrence ot the' rebellion ; to secure justice and freedom to all men, of all classes, conditions and col ors, and guard the national faith from vio lation. " Seventh. That the rebels ought not to be precipitated into power before such guaran tees have been obtained, and that accord ly Congress, to which rightfully pertain all questions of reconstruction, is to be cordial ly sustained in their demand for such guar antees. Eighth. That with the beginning of the war this nation took, a new departure, and thenceforth her Constitution is to be read in the interest of liberty, justice and secu rity, according to the spirit of its preamble and the immortal Declaration of Independ ence, under the teachings of its authors and compatriots. Too long already has it been interpreted in the interest of slavery and caste. Xinth. That Maj. Gen. John W. Geary having given just evidence of his devotion to the Union during the great rebellion by volunteering in its defence, and serving faithfully during the war, when many like Heister Clymer, who now claims to be equal ly patrietic, were rendering aid and comfort to the rebels, and he now being before the poople of Pennsylvania as a candidate for the office of Governor, we, his fellow sol diers, in that time of trial, pledge to him our hearty support, and ask the same for him from all those who acknowledge the debt of gratitude due from the country to its saviours, Tenth. That the soldiers of Pennsylva nia recognize no warmer or truer friend than Governor Andrew Gregg Curtin. His name is our watchword ; his fame our hope, and his merit our jcjlory. The unswerving love of the soldier s friend will be reciprocated by their unfaltering devotion. N Eleventh.. That we appeal hopefully to Congress for a speedy decision ou the ques tion of equalization of bounties to soldiers. Twelfth. That believing treason is a crime, and that traitors should be punished, we demard that the leading traitors should be convicted and executed as an example to traitors for all time to come. Thirteenth. That this convention is able to express its sentiments upon the whole matter of the issues aud candidates in a few words, which may answer for our banner inscriptions the coming campaign. God grant Geary victory ! Fourteenth.
