GONE ABE THE DAYS.
Gone are the days of summer fair,
Their warm and genial glow,
And cooler now the autumn air
Across the plain does blow.
There if a sadness in the tone
Of this most constant -over,
A sort of melancholy moan.
That tells of summer over.
Yes. gone are all the summer days,
That brought so m uoh of bliss,
Its mellow skies of rurpletiaxe
The summer son did kiss.
The birds that sang the summer long,
Our saddened hearts a cheering,
Ilave hushed awhile their weloome song,
Which ipeaks of Winter nearing.
Gone, tco, are all the roses sweet,
Tiat made dame Nature gay,
As passed the summer boars so fleet
Lpon the;r tireless way.
They grace no more the green earth sod,
Or scent the wind's low sighing,
Nor gayly in the breezes nod
The flowers, their hues outvi6ing.
These, like the'roses, too. are dead,
Gone from their vision here,
And now no longer fragrance shed
O'er summer's dying bier.
But they will deok the earth again
When smiles the spring returning,
And beauty burst on hill and .plain
When summer's suns are burning.
ONLY A DOLLAE.
"She scw.h very nicely," said Mrs Whar
ton ; "really, very nicely indeed. And if
you have any wort you wish done well and
cheaply, I would advise you toemploy her."
Mrs Wharton was sitting before the bright
fire of anhtracite coal, in her crimson silk
morning wrapper, with her glossy hair
smooth as satin, and her prettv hands, load
ed with rich rings, lying on her lap. She
felt that she was doing a charitable deed in
employing this poor and deserving Soldier's
widow, and a still greater one in reeern
mending her to her friends.
It is easy to be a good Christian, under
some circumstances!
"Well, I shall cartainly send for her,"
Raid Mrs. .Varvin. "What did you tell me
her name and address was?"
"Oh, she is called Mrs. Legcett, and she
fives in one of those horrid musty tenement
houses, No. , street, the back room in the
third tory."
Mrs. Marvin entered the details in her
little .earlbound tablets, and took her leave,
internally convinced that Mrs. Wharton
was a '"goodSaumritan," of the very high
est Was.
Meanwhile, the latter lady was gazing
dreamily into the fire, and wondering what
Toilets would be mo.-t appropriate for the
luo'-ntw evening's soiree.
"There's my pea-green satin," mused
Mrs. Wharton, checkingoff the various gar,
meets on the tips of her white fingers ;
"but I've worn it there already. And there
w my Marie Luiseblue silk, if the skirt was
only gored a 1'ttle more. The lemon-colored
brocade is not becoming to me. I'm
wry I bought it. And the white grena
dine got torn at Mrs. Armyn's. My wine
colored silk, with the ruby set, would look
well, if that odious Fanny Palmer hadn't
tot one just like it. And purple velvet
d m't light up well at night. Oh, dear ! I
really think I must have something new.
A rose-colored tissue, perhaps, or a white
Indian muslin. My wardrobe is getting
hehindhand. Dear me ! Who's that ?
How you startled me, Mrs.Leggett!"
"I leg your pardon, ma'am, I am sure."
raid the slander, meek-looking little seam
rties, rustling softly forward, in her gar
ments of shabby, well-worn black ; "but I
knocked twice, and you did not answer."
''Then you should knock louder
the next time." said the irritable, fine lady.
"However, now that you are here, you may
a well sit down. Good gracious how wet
ynn are positively dripping !"
Yes ma'am ; it rains very hard, and I have
no umbrella. " - -
"No umbrella ? Dear me.how'shocking !
n ell, did you bring home those things?"
"Yes ma'am ; here they are." .
And the seamstress produced a neat pack
et from beneath her shawl.
''I hope to goodness you didn't get them
it? No; they seem tolerably dry. What
"the bill?"
'Six dollars, ma'am." .
"iSix dollars ? Isn't that high.Mrs. Leg
?tt?" said Mrs. Wharton, discontentedly.
'i worked eleven days faithfully on them,
Dia'ani."
"Weill suppose I must pay you what
you ask ?" said Mrs. v, Wharton, opening
purse, and slowly examining its com
mitments. l)pr mfl !
I hare only a five-
uar bill.
I suppose you couldn't change
a twenty?"
Mrs. Lezgett smiled bitterly :
,'o ma'am. I could not."
' V ell. then, we'll call it five dollars,
n t we? A dollar isn't much either way,
ai the five Is all I've got."
A dollar is a great deal to me, Mrs.
"nartnn." "
The lady's smooth brow contracted: "I
5ave given you a great deal of work, Mrs.
Weett." .
know it ma'am, and I am very much
JiKd to you for your kindness.". . . ,
And I should be sorry to have bo trfling
thing as a dollar to part us, now."
. Mrs. Leggett was silent : she did not
inWto8ay. '
. Ull it five dollars," sVid Mrs. Wharton,
.nuhe bill into the Up of the poor
."Her s widow ; "a dollar don't signify. that
mfcnrnded my friend Mrs. Marvin to
mm you only this morning." ,
Thank you madam," said the poor wo
Fao. faintly, a8 she took the monev, feel
'"flnardly that she had been defrauded,
; Pfnectly aware that she had no means
01 redress. : (
Ao'lshe went forth once wore Into the
ram and tempest of the dismal November
morning. -
"Ma'am, if you please," said Mary the
waitress, "here's the newspaperer boy he
says master told him you would pay the bill
this week."
- "How much is it, Mary!"
"A dollar, ma'am."
"llow provoking! I havn't a dollar in
the house,"
"He says he has orders not to leave the
house until he is payed."
"He io very impertinent," said the lady,
coloring up, and, for the first time in her
petted life feeling the want of a dollar.
Mrs. Clarence Fitzgerald was the next
person announced lady of the utmost style,
whose acquaintance Mrs. Wharton had just
succeeded in making.
"You will stare at my being out in this
storm, my dear," said she, floating grace
fully into the apartment, "but I am raisin?
a dollar Subscription for a poor musician
who has just broken his arm. Jt course 1
may depend on you?"
Mrs. Wharton colored: "I will send it
round in the morning."
"That won't do,". said Mrs. Fitzrerald,
shrugging her shoulders. I am derter
miued to settle the business to-day."
"I am very sorry," said onr mortified ke
roine, "but I have not a dollar."
Mrs. Fitzgerald bowed coldly evidently
she did tfbt believe the protestation and
Mrs. Wharton saw her enter her coupe and
drive away, with the comfortable conscious
ness that she would be invited to no more of
Mrs. Clarence Fitzgerald's delightfuly ex
clusive parties.
Mrs. Wharton, said the cook, there s
a boy at the door from the fruiteries he
has an illagant pine-apnle Mrs. Pepper sent
roun' .
"it will be the very thing I want for des
sert," said Mrs. Whartou: "how much is
it ?"
"A dollar ma'am."
Onca more the everlasting dollar! Mrs.
Wharton bit her lip with vexation.
"Tell him to leave it, Bridget, aud I'll call
and set'Ie to-morrow."
"He savs. tna'aui, Mrs. Pulton wants it,
if ye don't happen to have die money han
dy. lJine-apples doesn t go begcin this
season of the year."
.Let .Mrs. Dalton have it, then; 1 will
nevat; buy another article of Pepper."
Mrs. u burton was considerably annoyed :
"To think a doliar should be such useful
thing !" she muttered to herself, taking up
her portfolio.
A half aniseed letter lay there one to her
siter, who was the wife of a clergyman out
Wet-t, with a flock of little children aroud
her. The last words she hail written were "I
send you a dol.ar to buy a doll for the baby,
my little namesake."
"How porvoking !" she exclaimed. "I
can't even finish the letter, for lack of the
everlasting dollar'"
She leaned back in the velvet cushion of
her t-hair, and, drowsily watching the blaze
and listening to the patter of the rain a
gainst the window, fell fast asleep.
Where was she? In the spectre-boat of
Charon, gliding cross the river Styx and,
as the bark touched the shores of the othc
world, the ghastly toll-gatherer extended
his hand, "relentlessly : "Your fare, if you
please, ma'am."
Mrs. Wharton had her fare ready she
handed it up, eager to pass through the
Gates where si e could see the musical wave
of palm tree", an 1 the sparkle ot glittering
tides that flowed beneath their shadow.
"Short, by a dollar, ma'am short by
the single dollar that you cheated the poor
seamstress out of. You cannot enter!"
Mrs. Wharton drew a hundred dollar bill
out. The grim Cerberus shook his head :
"If you had ten thousand, it wouldn't do !
Nothing will serve our purpose but that
one dollar!"
Charon turned the boat briskly round
Mrs. Wharton was just opening her lips to
utter a wild cry of anguish pleading when
she woke up !
"I have been dreaming," said Mrs.
Wharton, looking round the cozy room ;
"but dear me, what a frightful dream it was.
That one dollar ! Will the recordirg angel
really set it down against me, in the latter
day accounts?"
She shuddered ; somehow the dollar had
assumed preternaturally large dimensions !
"Charles! Charles!" How welcome was
the footsteps of her husband, upon the
stairs.
"Well, what is it?"
"Have you a dollar?"
"Haifa dozen of em, if you want."
"But I only want one one dollar bill."
He gave it to her she rang the bell.
"John I want you to put on your India
rubber cloak and take this bill 'round to
Mrs. Leggett ! Tell her it is what I owe
her!",
John departed, and Mrs. Wharton breath
ed more easily.
"Perhaps they will let me into the Gates,
now!" she 6aid, dreamingly.
"My dear, what do you mean ?"' deman
ded her astonished husband.
And Mrs. Wharton told him the story of
her day's adventures, and the dream that
had closed them.
"Hellen," said her husband, gravely,
"let this be s lesson to you never to neglect
the just dues of the poor. A dollar is not
much, to us to them, it may be the last
frail bulwark between them and starvation 1"
But there was no danger ot Mrs. Whar
ton's forgetting the lesson she had received.
A Senator to take tho place of Mr. Ruck
alew will not be elected until 1869. Some
of our contemporaries have fallen into the
error that such an election would devolve on
the Leglislature just elected.

CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 20, 1865.
JIosesty is Politics. The Buffalo Erpress
holds the following language : ''We hope to live
to see the day when American polities shall be
elevated above many influences and characteris
tics which surround it, and yet we' may not. So
wrong as the human heart is, as prone to evil as
the sparks are to fly upward, it may not be possi
ble to infuse the principles of common honesty, a
respeot for honorable obligation, a principle of
patriotism that does not seek reward in filthy lu
ere, of good faith into our political campaigis
Men. who are regarded as honest in the common
walks and business relations of life seem to be
ready to lay that principle of action down when
they enter the political cause, and resort to state
ments and actions that do not square by any
principle of right and fairness. We hold that a
sense of political obligation should be as strong
in party action as in any other relation of life,
and yet men often seem to regard it as a thing to
be laid aside, anil assumed at pleasure, with im
punity and without responsibility even."
What Does it Mea ? The llarrisburg Tele
graph says: "It is a singular fact that, while
prominent Democratic leaders like Augustus Del
mont of New York, are purchasing the deprecia
ted securities of the late rebel confederacy, lead
ing Copperhead politicians are laboring in har
mony to break down the credit of tbe United
States Government, to depreciate United States
seouritiei, and thas to involve the country in
bankruptcy. May it not be inferred from this
that the Democracy intend some day to repudiate
the national, and assume tbe rebel debt, in order
that they may verify the justice of their position,
claiming that the rebellion was right and that
the war to put it down was illegal, hence render
ing it juit to pay the debts of a right cause and
repudiate those of an unrighteous cause. The
subject is well worthy tbe consideration of tbe
people "
From all parts of the South the intelligence is
the same, that the colo red people never behaved
with more moderation, decency, good sense and
loyalty, than they are conducting themselves
under their present trials. They lose no time
when woik ean be bad from men who will not
cheat tbem. They indulge in no violence not
withstanding they are hourly menaced with "at
tacks. Such are the real facts concerning a
people whom traitors and Copperheads hate be
cause they cheerfully bore a portion of the burden
of the work to save the Government from de
struction. The President again findshimself in adilemma.
He recently commanded Gen. GranttSupprcss
the unauthorized military companies of the Dis
trict, tbiriking to strike at tbe colored people.but
Grant finds more white conservative Johnson uien
in such companies than there are rregroes thus
organized .and under the Civil Rights Act he must
disband all or none. The whites protest against
being "r.-iped out," but the negroes may be. be
cause th 6 is a ''white man's government "
Justice in Maryland is only for reools. Some
time ao a woman whether black or whito we
do not know a teacher of colored children, was
knocked down, kicked and badly hurt by a brute
named Robert Galloway, for no offence whatever.
The case came up n the U. S. Circuit Court at
Baltimore, on Friday, Nov. 8th. aud the evidence
was strong in favor of the plaintiff. The rebel
jury, however, brought in a verdict of one cent
damages.
The people have, of course, noted the fact that
all the soldiers who have coiae in contact with
Southern communities as military governors, dif
fer with the President s to the policy of govern
ing that section, and agree among themselves
that it is too soon to trust traitors with a roioo in
the Government. Congress will, of course, give
this fact close attention.
The Democracy of Maryland and Virginia.who
hoisted rebel flags as a testimony of their joy on
receiving election returns from the North and
East, had a correct idoa of what Democratic vic
tories really mean It would have been out of
place to have hoisted the stars and stripes, as that
flag is never oarried in a Northern Democratic
procession.
.The Memphis Avalanche advises the people to
utterly disregard the President's Thanksgiving.
The Avalanche tenders this advioe, not in disre
spect for A. J. .but because the people of the South,
having been frustrated in establishing a govern
ment of their ehoice,"have no reason to be thank
ful to God or man."
The soldiei s of Fort Jefferson ask the liberation
of Dr. Mudd, at the Dry Tortuga, as a reward for
his courage and humanity in treating yellow fe
ver patient during the season. Mudd might as
well be liberated as Jeff. Davis, Boo Lee, Vallan
dingham or any of the other traitors and Copper
heads in tbe land.

JNow and then, when I am tired, when I
nave worjeed Ion? and wearily, and have had
some experience of the attrition of man
with man, and have gained some new light
respecting the moral condition of imperfect
" unsanctified men, I say to myself:
Well, you have worked more than the or
dinary allotted period ot man's life, and
would it not be better for you now to with
draw and give place to younger men, and
spend in elegant leisure the declining peri
od of your life ?" It is a temptation of the
devil. And when I get rested, when I get
one night's sound sleep, and my nervous
energy is restored again, and my system is
reinvigorated, I am amazed at myself, and
m the morning I flagellate the man that I
knew last night, lletire from life? I ob
serve that trees keep all their beauty to the
closing periods. How beautiful is the tree
when it comes out of winter and puts on all
its delicate tints and shades of green. We
then look upon the tree as though it was a
new creation, and we say: "Surely, God
never made anything so beautiful as these
trees ;" and yet when summer deepens their
hues, and they have become more robust,
and we see what visor and freshness, and
succulency there is in them, we say : "Af
ter all give me the summer tints. They are
far better then the spring delicacies."
And yet, when the October da vs have come.
and the iast part of the tree-life for the year
is enacted, and we see the goorgeous yel
lows, the rich browns and the magnihVient
scarlets,' we say: "There, the last is the
best." And might we not take pattern
from the tree? Might we not follow up our
youth and manhood with fair colors and del
icate tints to the end cf life?
I do not think a man ou?ht to want to
rest in this world. He may desire to a
chieve the means of setting himself tree
trom physical taxation. He may say; "I
will relinquish, in a measure, this, that I
may transfer my activity to other spheres."
That is proper for a man to do. But for a
man to retire from life and society after he
has been an active force therein, and
filled his sphere with usefulness, and seen
the fruits of his labor multiplied at his hand,
and known the satisfaction of well-spent
years nature itself rebukes it. But many
a man at the age of forty-five years, snys to
himself: "I am worth $500,(KX, and what
a tool 1 am to work any longer ! I am go
ing to buy me an estate in the country, and
be a gentleman." He buys him an estate,
and uudcrtukes to be a gentleman ; but a
man who has nothing to do is not a gentle
man. He goes into the country and learns
how to gape, and learns how to wish he knew
what to do. He goes intothe country in
order to take the cars every morning, and
come to- the city every day to see what is
going on. And he soon discovers that he
has made a mistake, and savs: "V hat a
fool I was? I thought I was unhappy, but
I see that'I was not." And he becomes
discontented, and before two years have
gone he sells his country place for fifty per
cent less than he gave, and goes back to the
city and enters into a new partnership, and
says : "I have learned that a man had bet
ter not give up business so lonir as he ia a-
ble to attend to it." lie could, I think.
have learned it without going through that
practice-. A man ought not to be obliged
to stumble upon every evil of life in order to
find it out. Something oujrht to be learned
from other people's blunders. There is e-
nough of them. II. W. livxhe.r.
Ouit Purchase from Denmark. The
Copenhagan telegram which affirui3 the oft
asserted, oft-denied purchase by the United
States of the Danish possessions in the
West Indies, may 1 accented as substan
tially true. The three chief islands, Santa
Cruz, St. Thomas and St. Jan or St. John,
with the series of lesser islets appurtenant
thereto, will probably soon pass under the
dominion of the Republic, and the event
will mark a new era in our political history.
The acquisition of llussian America v&s
step in a familiar direction, that of territori
al growth on the mainland of America.
This is not a continental, but an insular an
nexation, and a planting or our flag in the
Lesser Antilles at the entrance of the Carib
bean Sea. The European press, from Lon
don to St. Petersburg and from Sl Peters
burg to Rome, have already spoken of this
negotiation as an excellent bargain for the
United States. It is likely to be received
with equal favor here at home.
The flnp-iT Saprikice. An act of Con
gress, passed February 22, 1867, appropri
ated $750,000 for inclosing the National
cemeteries and placing a stone over every
grave. The commissioners appointed to
carry out the law have nearly completed the
necessary arrangements, and have ascertain
ed that three hundred and thirty thousand
commemorative tablets will be required.
Terrible as the amount of this list is, it by
no means comprises all those brave patriots
who laid down their lives for their counory.
Nameless graves are scattered all over the
country, and in audition to this must be ad
ded those who, though dying at home, have
had their natural term of existence shorten
ed by the wounds received in battle or the
diseases contracted in camp. Summing up
the loses on both sides, from all causes, one
million and a half of men have been sacrifi
ced to the demon of slavery.
A clerk in the Pittsburg ptwt office was

made complaint to the Department ; an in

clerk dismissed. Moral: Courtesy in public
