October strew the woodland o'er
With many m brilliant oolor ,
The world if brighter than before,
Why should onr heart be duller ?
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf.
Sad thoughts and annoy weather
Ah, me ! this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season, this
The time when friends are flying ;
And lovers sow, with many a kiss.
Their long farewells are sighing,
Why is the earth so gaily dressed ?
This pomp that Autumn beareth
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment weareth.
Each on of ns may often hear,
On eome blue morn hereafter,
fceturn to view the gaudy year,
. But not in boyish in tighter.
We shall then be wrinkled men,
Our brow with silver laden.
And thou this glen mays't secK again,
But never more a maiden.
Aature perhaps foresees that spring
Will touch her teeming bosom.
And things a few brief months will biing
The bird the bee the blossom.
Ah ! these forests do not Know,
Or would less brightly wither, ,
The virgin that adorns them so
Will never more come hither
A Genuine Ghost Story. .
The Monongaheia Republican says : "Not
Very long since, the young and beautiful
wife of one of oar citizens was called to her
final account, leaving her husband disconso
late, ad, bereft She was buried in the
djaeent cemetery, and the husband return
ed to his desolate home but not to forget
the loved one. She is present with him by
tlay in his spirit and in hh dreams at night.
One peculiarity of his dreams, and one that
haunted him, being repeated night after
eight, watt, that the spirit of his wife came
to his bedside and told him that the under
taker had not removed from her face the
square piece of muslin or.riapkin, which had
been used to cover her face after death, but
hail screwed down her coffin lid with it upon
her; that she could breathe in her grave,
but was unrest on acceufct, of the napkin.
He tried to drive the dream away' but it
abided with him by night and troubled him
by day. He sought the consolation of reli
gion; his pastor prayed with hjai and as
sured hinithat it was wicked to indulge
juth morbid fancy. It was the subject of
his ovn petition before the Throne of Grace.
but still the spirit came and told: anew the
story of her suffocation. . In !?5pair ha
sought the undertaker, s Mr, Dickey, who
told nim that the napkin had not been re
moved, but urged him to forget the circum
stance, s it could no be any possible annoy
ance to inanimate clay. While the gentle
fciiri frankly acknowledged this, he could
no? avoid the apparition, and continual
trrss upon hiB, mind began to tell upon his
health. At length he determined to have
the body disinterred and visited the under
taker for that purpose. Here he was met
with the same advice, and persuasion, and
convinced once more of his folly, the haunt
ed man Returned to his home. That night,
wore vivid than ever, more terribly real
than before, she came to his bedside, and
upbraided him for his want of affection, to
reiriove the cause of all her suffering. The
in-it night, with a friend, he repaired to the
sexton, who was prevailed upon to accom
pany them, and there, by the light of the
cold, round moon, the body was lifted from
its narrew bed, the coffin lid was unscrewed
and the napkin removed from the face of
the corpse, ihat night she came to his
bedside once more, but for the last time.
Thanking him for his kindness, she pressed
her cold lips to his cheek, and came again
no more. Reader, this ia a true story ; can
jou explain the mysteries of Dreams ?
Always Beautiful. At a festival party
of old and young, the question was asked,
Which season of life is most happy ? After
being freely discasscd by the guests, 13 was
referred to the host, upon whom was the
burden of fourscore years. He asked if
they had noticed a grove of trees before
he dwelling, and said, "When the spring
comes and in the soft air the buds are break
ing on the tree. and they are covered with
l.Woms, I think, how beautiful is spring!
nd when the summer comes, and covers
the trees with its heavy foliage, and singing
birds are all among the branches, I think,
how beautiful is summer ! When autumn
wads them with golden fruit, and their leaves
war the gorgeous tint of frost, I think, how
waatiful is arttuinn ! And when it is sere

for a short time.
Rev. Alfred Taylor then addressed them

Address;
To the Pastors, Teachers and Friends of the Sab
bath School in our county : '
At a meeting of the friends of the Sab
bath School, held in the Borough of Clear
field, Oct. 9th and 10th, 1867, an association
was formed, under the
name ot tne V
field county Sabbath School Association,
me ouiect oi wuku is iuujt oi 7-
Constitution, adopted at that time, and to-
which we would respectfully invite your at
tention. The cause in which we are engaged is one
u "ai interest to tne citizens or our county,
and we appeal to you, as christian men and
women, to lend us your aid. Remember, that
those upon whom the burden and heat of
the day now rests, are passing away ; their
places will soon be vacant, in the household,
the church and the state. Upon whom then
shall the duties, we now perform, fall ? Our
children must soon stand, where we now
stand thev must occuDVthe daces we now
fill and our future glory, or shame, will be
determined by them. We shall be govern
ed by the bot-s growing up around us. Our
rulers are to be chosen from amone them.
and upon us rests the responsibility of deci
ding what they shall be. Shall we give
tnem a religious and moral training to pre
pare them for the duties before them ? Or
shall they run wild until manhood overtakes
them with its weight of care? Who would
trust a vessel to an unskillful mariner, or an
untaught crew? Then, would we ask you,
shall ice not now rise up and labor and let
our earnest efforts be expended in endeavor
ing to place that nursery of the church, the
Sahbath School, within the reach of every
child in our county? Let us endeavor, as
christians, to uphold the kingdom of Christ
in the world among the children. And how
can this be better accomplished than by lead
ing them to the Sabbath School ? Come,
then, to the work. Join with us in the labor
of love, and the blessings of heaven must
rest upon it. Work, while there is need for
it, until every child among us shall be gath
ered into the Sunday School army 'til loud
Hosannas 6hall rise from every hill and dell
in our land.
V ith this object in view, we propose to
hold a series of meetings, in various parts
of the county, the first of which will be
held in Curwensville, in January next. Due
notice of the da3 will be given. And all
interested in the cause are earnestly invited
to attend. Come, Brothers and Sisters,and
help us. A. 31. UlLLb,

The Good Man.
:The good man is the very salt of society,
and fortunately for almost all communities
at least one such man is to be found every
where. He may or may not be the most
nrominent. the most wealthv. the best edu
tod citizen of his neighborhood ; but be his
surroundirgs what they may, he is the cen
tre ot a distinct class of influence indispen
sable to the weal of society. He stands firm
when others are yielding ; the farthest re
moved from dishonest tricks or heated
strifes, he is a composer of differences. Al
ways happy in the consciousness of his own
integrity, he is calm when others around
him are violent and alarmed; invariably care
ful in forming and expressing his opinions,
his judgment is deferred to when the heats
of passion have subsided and men wish to
ascertain the path of safety. One such per
son in a community, one such Christian in
a church, is of more value than thousands
of silver and gold. Great multitudes ot
people cannot have, in the Btraight sense,
minds of their own. They either lack orig
inal capacity or training, and they must
have some such men insensibly to think for
them, to be their moral, or spiritual guide
He becomes a reservoir which is constant
ly tapped for spiritual knowledge. Lesser
and feebler souls take hold of his strength
and are held up by it. Uy the riches 01 a
single rich man, employed in manufacture
or commerce, hundreds of poor families
may live ; and so there may issue from the
heart of one good man streams of religious
wealth which will flourish and indirectly sus
tain very many who are not so much pro
ducers as consumers in the religious world.
The Writing on the Eock.
Ages upon aces aio the tide was out, and
the muddy beach lay smooth as this sheet of
paper before me. A cloud passed over the
sky, and a shower of big rain or hail came
down, and pitted the mud as thick as leaves
on the trees. A strong wind drove the
drops, so that the impressions were a little
onesided. They had written their short
history as plain as my pen can write ; and
even the direction from the wind blew was
recorded. Some great frogs and lizards
which used to live there, come hopping o
ver the mud, and left their tracks also deep
ly printed on ' the shore. By and by the
great waves came softly stealing up, and cov
ered the whole surface with fine sand, and
so the tracks were seen no more for ages
upon ages. The clay hardened into solid
rock, and so did the sand ; and after these
thousands of years had passed away, some
masons came upon the curious inscription.
Men of scipnfp. who are skilled in reading
these stony leaves of'God'sgreat book, read,
as plainly as if they had been present, the
story of that passing shower. It had been
written on the softest clay, but it was read
ou the solid rock. So your hearts to-day
are like the soft clay. Everything stamps
them, but the stamps are not so easy to re
move. They will be there when you are
grown up to be a man or woman. O, what
deep, dark prints the bad works ot e
vil associates make ? But how lovely it will
be to recall the record which kind and lov
ing action make upon the soul !
A Bad Temper. A bad temper is a reg
ular curse to its possessors, and its influence
is most deadly wherever it is. found. It is
a kind of martyrdom to be obliged to live
with one of a complaining temper. To hear
a continual round of complaints and mur
murings, to have every pleasant thought
scared aw&y by his evil spirits, is in truth
a sore trial. It is like the sting of a scor
pion, or a perpetual nettle, destroying your
peace, and rendering life a burden ! j ; ,

The Elder Duck.
Far away in the icy North, in Labrador
and Greenland, in Iceland and Norway, and
other cold countries, lives this bird fo noted
for the soft down it gives ns ; and, there it
lays its eggs and hatches out its young.
You see a mother bird take her ducklings
into the chilly watej, from which the brief
Northern summer has melted the ice. She
is going to feed them on the shell-fish and
sea urchins that she can pick up from the
edges of the rocks and in shallow places.
You think they must be very cold. But
they are not, God has covered them with
warm down and feathers, and they are com
fortable and happy. Shall I tell you some
thing about the way in which the Elder down
is obtained? Most of it comes from Nor
way and Iceland, and from the Fern Islands
lying off the coast of Scotland.
The Elder duck builds her nest of fine
weeds and mosses on the ground or among
rocks, wherever they can find a little hol
low ; and these nests are often so clo e to
gether that a man can hardly walk among
them without stepping on the egrs. Tho
breasts of the birds are covered thickly with
the softest down, and as soon as they have
laid t heir eggs, they then pluck out enough
of this down to cover them warmly, for there
is not sufficient heat in their bodies to hatch
the eggs without help from the down ; and,
besides, they have to leave their nests some
times to get food, and then if ir. was not for
the covering of down the eggs would be fro
zen. The people who live away in the far Nor
thern countries, where these ducks make
their nests and hatch their young, know a
bout these down-covered eggs, aud as soon
as they find them well wrapped up, take a
way both eggs and the down. Then the
mother bird lays another nest full of eggs,
and a second time strips-the down from her
breast to cover them and keen them warm.
A second time the eggs and down are ta
ken away. Poor bird ! Still she is not dis
couraged, and lays a third nest full of eggs ;
but she has no more down with which to
protect them from the cold. What is to be
done? Will the eggs be frozen? Not so;
for now the male bird comes and picks the
downy treasures from his breast and lays
them over the eggs. This time the down
gatherers leave the nest unharmed, so that
a brood of ducks maybe hatched that will
lay eggs and supply down another year.
Each nest supplies about half a pound of
down. With which the people ot tiermany
and Northern Europe, stuff, bed-coverings
that are used in winter instead ot blankets.
This Elder down is so very light that the
Weight ot three ounces will nil a hat.
Jox says that if a man feels much like
getting married, yet imagines he ought not
to, the best remedy he knows is to help one
ot his neighbors to move a house full of
furniture borrow about nine of his children
and hear them cry. If that fails, build up
a fire of damp wood and when the smoke
in the room is thickest, hire a woman to
scold him about four hours. If he can
stand all these, he had better get married
the next day give his wife the iiants and
be the "silent partner" in the great firm of
matrimony. 1 he remedy is severe, but as
every man is liable to these things after he
yokes himself, it would do no harm to try it
before. .
Dying. There is dignity about that go
ing away alone, we call d3ring that wrap-
mng the mantle ct immortality about us ;
that putting aside with a pale hand azure
curtains that are drawn around this cradle
of a world j that venturing away from home
lor the hrst time in our lives, tor we are
not dead there is nothing dead to speak of.
and we only go off seeking foreign countries
not laid down on the map we know about.
Ihere must be lovely lands somewhere star
ward, lor none ever return that go thither.
and we very much doubt if any would if
they could.
