BY S. J. BOW. CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1868. VOL. 14.-N0. 28. . A DEE AM OF SUMMEB. Bland as the morning breath of June, . Ths south went breeies play ; And through it hase. the winter noon Seems warm as summer's day. The snow-plumed angel of the North Has dropped his icy spear ; Again the mossy earth looks forth, Again the streams gush clear. The fox his bill-side cell forsakes, The muskrat leaves bis nook. The blue-bird in the meadow brakes, Is singing with the brook. "Bear op, O, Mother Nature !" cry Bird, breese. and streamlet froe, "Our winter voices prophesy 01 summer days to thee!" So, in those winters of the soul, By bitter blasts and drear, O'erawept from memory's frozen pole, Will sunny days appear. Reviving Hope and Faith, they show The soul its living powers, -And how beneath tbe winter's snow Liegnrmsof summer flowers f The Night is Mother ot the day, The Winter of the Spring, And erer upon old Decay The greenest mosses cling. Behind the cloud the starlight lurks. Through showers th sunbeams fall; For God, who loveth all His works, Has left His Hope with all. APEIL TOOL'S DAY. "Well I don't think anybody can ever deceive me again, on that day. Once in a lifetime is enough for any sensible person to be tricked on the first day of April." And pretty Mabel Hughes looked djtiance of all jokes, tossing back her sunny eurls with a little white hand, and flashing a merry sau cy look at the company around her. There was quite a group of young folks, assembled to dance the old year out, and the new year in. Mabel Hughes took prece dence at most of the village gathering.-, by right of acknowledged belleship, and her father's large hospitable house was the ren dezvous on the present occasion. The young folks had been discussing aniversiries, nd while on that theme April fool's day had a riace in the list of memorable days of the year. Mabel had been fooled the. year be fore by a gift of an exquisite basket con taining apparently clusters of rich red straw berries, far in advance of the New England season. . With a little cry of pleasure she had put one of the luscious locking berries into hr mouth, to find it a painted decep tion. Laughing, yet thoroughly in earnest, she had vowed never again to believe in a gift or speech of the date again. As he uow made her speech she looked full in the face of the supposed perpetrator fif the last year's jokes, and was answered by a pair of sunny frank eyes, that looked fully equal to fun of any sort. r can deceive you again," he declared in answer to her implied challenge. "You Lave no idea how pretty you looked when you curled up your nose aud puckered your lips over that berry." "Why where were you ?" "In the hall enjoying the joke." "Weil make the most of the recollection, lor you will never see me ia a like scrape sgain." "Until next April." "Never!" "Well see! I shall take the next three months to invent something absolutely im penetrable." "I defv you !" "Hark !" Slowly the peal of balls from the neigh boring church sounded the midnight hour. As the first stroke fell upon the air, the group rose to their feet, joined bands, in a ring, and so stood motionless till the last echo died away. Then "Happy New Year," Wst simultaneously from their lips, and af ter joyous greeting all- around, the party separated, and the house was soon wrapped in darkness and repose. "So John Martyn will play me another trick this year," thought Mabel, the next mornitig,as she stood before her glass twist ing the bright curls round her fingers. "He may try his best, but he will not catch me 'gain. 1 Ieigh-ho ! he will have other things to think of by that time, and perhaps will furijet me altogether." For John Martyn was going into the orld to seek his fortune. One year ago he tad left college, having spent his whole small patrimony to obtain an education. He tad left home a frank bright boy, with un armed manners, a country bred youth in H senses. He had come home frank and sunny as ever, but with the quiet courtesy f a gentleman, and an education won by in case application during the entire college wurse. One year he had given to home, though alone in his cottage a trotharless jrphan. He had not intended to stay so ornAtium in (k'ahpl Hughes' dark eyes that bound him to the j rid. - j J . until tne aa niration aeepeneu mw neere, earnest love and then the convic tion grew that he must win, wealth before w dared tell his passion. ' Mr. Hughes was wealthy, a lawyer in J1! Maetir bnt there were nine children 10 the luxurious home, and the estate would : Pv but moderate competency to each one. j John Martyn was not the man to woo Ma- j wsl from her home, unless hs could offer at , comfort in his own, and he had drain-; f hi purse in the year following his return from college. Somewhere in Texas he had V1 nncle who had written to him that he . r& n opening for an enterprising young ! ttjs stock farmer. !

He h4 remained to see ths New Year in, but Mabel knew his call on that day would be to say farewell tor montfes,years, perhaps perhaps, she thought sadly, "never to meet again.'.' She had never questioned her heart about John Martyn, content to take his gallant speeches, his deferential words ; or in, other words, his half saucy jokes, his laugh ing badinage for the amusement of the hour. But op that New Year's day she was restless nervous, and excited, finding herself talking at random to her callers, saying yes where she should have said no, and listening intently for a footfall and voice that lingered away from her. At last he came, timing his can to miss the morning visitors, and when the luncheon tall cleared the room of the family. Declining Mr. Hughes' invitation to join them at the ta ble, be kept Mabel for a few parting words. He did not bind her, he did not ask a return of his love ; he only told her his prospects and hopes, and then said if he ever had a home to offer a bride, he should come to his native village to seek one. Very vague this, but Mabel looking into his dark ear nest eyes, silently resolved that his bride should be waiting for him when he return ed. Night found him Kpeedmg over the iron road to New York, on the long journey to Texas. My little heroine spoke no word to any one of the hope in her heart. Some day, she thought her secret fount of hope aud happiness might be open to her friends, but not now not until words were given that made her blissful dream a certainty of joy. Three months four sped away, and one April morning, when the feet of May were pressing closely on the confines of the pass ing month, Mabel had a letter all alone in her pretty room ; she read the words, her heart full of joyful surprise over the con tents. - ... John Martyn wrote a strange story. Up on his arrival in Texas he had found h's un cle fast sinking under a fatal disease, partly the effect ot starvation and exposure. In a miserable hut, with no bed but a blanket spread upon the mud floor, half clothed and half famished, the prematurely old man lay dying. Shocked at such a sight,. John had at once sent for a physician and some comforts to the nearest station, but the old man was so distressed at the expense, that it was not until his nephew assured him his own purse still held the needful funds, that he consented to havea bed a chair, a stove, and some medicines. For weeks he linger ed, the young man faithfully ministering to his wants, then died, leaving all he possess ed, by will, to his beloved nephew, John Martyn. The miserable hut seemed a poor legacy, but the young man's amazement may be imagined when he found his uncle had left an enormous fortune scraped to gether in a lifetime of miserly accumulation and avaricious hoarding. After this tale, he poured out his whole heart to Mabel, telling of his love, his hopes, and plans. One woid from her would bring him at once, to her side. His uncle's affairs would keep him a few weeks in Texas, but before let ters could be exchanged he would be free to hasten to her. Might be hope? If she did not love him, silence would deal that blow to his heart. I cannot tell the rush of happiness that flooded Mabel's heart as she read the letter. She had pictured years of anxious waiting, had let her fancy even run upon death dur ing seperation, hid thought at best they would be middle-aged folks before John made his fortune, and had tried to think how emigration to Texas would suit her lit tle self; and now he could come home rich, free, loving, to make her his bride. Out of her full, loving heart, she wrote him a frank letter, then, before taking both to gain her parents' consent to her answer, turned to the date, to be certain of her address. With a quick, passionate cry, she threw the letter far from her, and sprang from her seat. All the joy was gone from her smiling lips, the flush from her cheek. Pale, with a concen trated anger blazing in her eyes, she paced the floor, cleuching her little hands, aud muttering, in hasty, choking accents : unmanly! Utigentlemanly ! April Fool s Day ! This is the result of his three months' meditation. . Idiot I was to be so tricked by that romantic story. I might have seen it was copied from some old novel. Uncle dy ing in a hut and leaving him a millionaire I And try to win from me thin" and she tore her letter into shreds as she spoke. "If I had sent if, before looking at that date but he shall see that his base, ungenerous trick failed to deceive me." Then hot tears poured down ber cheeks, for remember &be loved him. Keener than a knife-thrust Was the pain of thinking he had trifled with the love she had made the hope of her life. No true knight this, to make a jest of the holiest, impulses of her heart. She began to think she bad been uu maidenly, and let him see too plainly the affection she bore him ; and the weary day wore away, leaving her pale and sick with conflicting emotions and pain. A headache will answer for pale cheeks and red eyes for one day; but as weeks wore ou. and Mabel became more languid and wretched each day, her mother's fears were aroused, and she anxiously sought for some help for her bright, winsome child, now so dull and pal lid. A spring and summer of intense heat had added to the depression of Mabel's na ture, and after much consultation, it was decided to send her to New York for the winter, to visit her father's sistr, and see if city gayeties would not restore her roses. In the meantime John Martyn waited in Texas, watching every mail from the earli est that could have brought a reply to his letter, not daring to leave lest the detained epistle might be 'ost, if sent after him. In bis strange bewilderment at the unexpected turn in fortune's wheel, the rush of hope came with Mabel's image to his heart, the anxiety to write at once, to communicate his news, and try his fate; he had never noticed the unfortunate date of his lmpor- I tant letter. The foolish challenge of New V V VJ I J-J it. L- xears xjve uiu ueen . crowueu irom nis memory by the hurrying change of events. and, therefore the explanation of her silence am not occur to bim. XMo, she did not love him : he had been foolish, bund, vain. to believe that all her gentle winning ways meant more than friendship. Summer heat was warning him from lexas, and, arran ging his affairs, he left his uncle's grave. and the miserable hut.and started lor a tour of the United estates, previous to an inten ded trip to Europe. lie would travel and forget this boyish love and folly. It was on ChristraasEve.andMrs. Green way was to give a large party, towhich all the upper crust of New York society were invited. Mrs.Greenway was to introduce her niece, and when an old friend requested permission to bring his son's college chum a young millionaire, on a flying visit to New York, and about to start lor Europe, Mrs. Green way graciously gave the reques ted permission. So they met--' Mabel was listlessly look ing over the room full of strange faces, try ing to feel the interest her aunt expected in her guests, when John Martyn entered the room. "Who was that, Aunt Helen? How came he here?" she asked in an eager whisper. "Where, my dear? Oh, that must be the gentleman Mr. Lee was telling rue a bout. Quite a romantic story," and she told Mabel what she had believed to be a cruel just. Une part of the letter true. Was the rest so ? The quick blood flashed through her veins -with suffocating tpeed; her breath came in short gasps, but with nervous self control she stood quiet. They came forward to greet the hostess, and as John turned from Mrs. Greenway to acknowledge the in troduction to her niece, his eyes fell upon Mabel. She did not pause to think whether it was forward or not. With both hands ex tended, her eyes lifted imploringly, her whole face quivering with emotion she said: , "Oh, John, was it an April joke ?" And then the date of his letter flashed upon his memory. With quick tact he drew her hand through his arm and led her toward the door. . "Where can we be alone?" he whispered, for she trembled violently, while the o!or was fading from her face with alarm ipg rapidity. In the library. Uome. W" ell, reader, you and I need not go to. When, in the early spring, John Martyn sailed for Europe, Mabel was by his side, a fair, sunny bride, and the April day that threatened to crush the bappinerss of two lives, will do to recall for an old woman's warning when silver threads creep in among her clustering curls. The Uame "Protestant." The name of Protestant took its rise from the following circumstances At a diet ot the princes of th empire held at Spires in Germany, in the year 1529, it was decreed by the majority there present, that in those places where the edict of Worms had been received, it would be lawful for no one to change his religion ; that in those places where the new religion (the Lutheran) was exercised, it should be maintained till the meeting of a council, if the ancient (the Popish) religion could not be restored with out danger of disturbing the public peace ; but that the mass should not be abolished, nor the Catholics hindred from the free ex ercise of their religion, nor anv one ot them allowed to embrace Lutheranism ; that the bacramentarians should be banished from the empire; that the Atiabaptists should be punished with death and that no preach ers should explain the gospel in any other sense than what was approved by the church. cmx princes ot the empire introduced their protest against this decree ; namely, John, Elector of Saxony ; George, Margrave of Badenburg ; Ernest and Francis, Dukes ot Brunswick and Luenburg : Philin. Land grave of Hesse ; YVolffgang, Prince of An halt. To these were joined the following free cities of Germany, namely, Strasburg, Norinburg, Ulm, Constance, Lindon, Mem mingen, Kenler, Nordilingen, Halibran, Reutingen, Isus, St. Gall, Messenburg and Windsohinn ; and from the protest., of the Lutherans first obtained the name of Pro testants, which was afterwards given in com mon to all who separated ihemselves frm the practices of the Church of Home. One of Train's Tricks. The advocates of women's voting have made a great parade of the nine thousand votes cast in favor of the measure at the election in Kansas last fall ;. and, indeed, these votes were not with out portentious significance of an impending revolution in our whole social and political system. It has since leaked out, however, that they by no wean represent the senti ments of as many as nine thousand Kansas electors, but were obtained through a bar- Jain between George Francis Train and tha democratic leaders. Train had so ingratia ted himself with the women's party that they allowed him to manage matters his own way, and he agreed with the Democrats that if they would support the vote for women's suf frage, he and the women's rights men would vote against suffrage for the negroes. The Democrats carried, but their allies did not ; and now, of course, if the question were to come up by itself, women's suffrage would not probably command more than half the votes it did. None are. so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them ; such persons covet secrets as a spendthrift covets money, for the purpose of circulation. A statistician estimates that every married couple may calculate upon 4,194,304 descen dants in about five hundred years. , ' . A French Bomance. Several months ago a young man, sales man in one of the leading houses in Paris, saw a young lady enter, to whom, during the . past eight or ten days, he had sold a number of dresses, shawls, gloves, &c. By her account he surmised that she must be a New York lady. The stranger was very pretty, and naturally the young man made himself agreeable and attentive. Whenev er she visited the store she always address ed herself to him, and, while examining the articles he placed befcre her, talked much. The day we speak of she was far less com municative than usual ; and after having made a somewhat hurried'sclection,she said to the clerk : "I shall be at the hotel in one hour ; here is the address. Be kind enough to accom pany t,he porter when he brings these articles. With these words she bowed reservedly," and left the store. The young man was at a loss what to think. However, an hour later he entered the apartment of the American lady, who invited him ansfaco7i, like an acquaintance of long standing, to lunch with her. Al though thinking his customer's manners jomcwhat strange, the clerk accepted. While partaking of tea and cakes. the joung lady somewhat abruptly addressed her guest, saying: , 4iSir, are you brave enough to protect a woman against any insult to which she may be subjected? Answer me with truth and candor." . - , "Without conceit, I saj', yes," answered the voung man. . "Very well. You work in order to make money. Is it not so ?" "Certainly?" ' jThis is what I wish to propose. I am alone, or almost aloue, in tha world ; my fortune or my actions concern no one but myself. -I wished to 6ee the exhibition and know Paris. But I perceive that there is nothing more difficult than for a woman to be in your country without a protector. You please me, and if you do not object, you shall be my champion. I will repay you for your lost time." The young man tried to speak, but she immediately resumed : "I insist on remunerating you; this is strictly a matter of business ; I regard it in that ht,ht Accent or decline. Which shall itbe?:. - , - - :"ljiccept," answered- tha clerk, after moment's hesitation. "I am satisfied," continued the stranger, "that you area gentleman, and wi 1 not make yourself ridiculous by making love and flattering rue, for I warn you that the very first compliment you pay me ends our contract. Is it agreed?" "Madam, lam at your service." "From to-morrow ?" "From this moment ! I require only time to write to my employers." And the terms of this extraordinary com pact were entered into by the latter. The clerk was charming-; he proved him 'e'f intelligent, attractive, delicate, w-thout all that small talk men generally delight to inflict on women. Jn fact, the American lady wa truly delighted with the choice she had made. Two weeks ago she handed the amiable clerk a heavy roll of bills,. and they separated mutually pleased with each other. But it happened as the lady was about to embark for England, thence to embark for America, a commissioner hastened toward her and inquired if she was Miss X. Upon answering in the -affirmative, he placed a small box and a letter in her hand. The box contained a diamond set, the letter a few words only, but so well chosen U express true affection that the young lady started, not for London, but back to Paris. It is needless to sav that the letter was from the young clerk, who had taken this method of returning the money forced upon him by the young lady for services rendered. (He had not given her hisaddress,thinking the mat ter was ended.) He was not likely to have returned to his former employer. Ultimate ly she learned he had taken in another house a situation far inferior to the one he had formerly occupied. Probably till then she was undecided as to her course, for when she heard this her mind was made up. She wrote ; he came at once. They wi 1 be mar ried soon. The Difference. The difference be tween Grant and Johnson is the difference between a law-observer and a law breaker. Grant savs: "The law is binding on uncon stitutional or not.until set aside by the proper tribunal." But Johnson says: "Ihc law is not binding on me. constitutional or oth erwise, unless consistent with my will, or until it is ratified by the Supreme Court." The issue between the two men is the issue between the President and the people. "fJontlz" la n form whifh dre not 'illllltiU " - -- -. apply to any station.

"No sir-ee ! there came up a drove of hogs and ate them all." A sanctified heart is better than a silver tongue. Jem and -the Pocket Book. "Jem, I dropped my pocket-book some where oat here. Have you seen it?" asked a farmer, one day, of a boy who was hoeing potatoes for him in a field. "No, sir," said Jem, "I have not." "Well, suppose you help me to find it. you look along that side of the field towards the gate, while I look on this," rejoined Mr. Beers, pointing in the direction shown. "Yes, sir," said Jem, cheerfully, and dropping his hoe in the furrow he started along the edge of the field, carefully looking for the lost pocket-book. When he reached the gate he found the farmer there before him, with the pocket book in his hand. Jem looked pleased, and said : "You have it, sir?" "Yes," replied the farmer, "I have, and I guess you knew very well where it was. I found it right beside your dinner kettle, un der the grass", where, I suppose, you leftit." Jem felt the color rise to his temples and anger burned iD his heart; but the latter he kept down, for he was a Christian boy, and quietly answered: "I know nothing about your pocket-book, sir. I cannot tell how it came to be near-my dinner kettle." "You are very innocent, dare say," said the farmer, with a sneer, "but facts don't favor that opinion. I don't want suspicious boys about my place, so you may quit as soon as you like. Poor Jem was dumb with surprise and sorrow. Taking up his dinner Kettle, he left the field and went directly home to his mother. , He told her tha story of his mis tortui.e,and closed by saying : "You believe ine, mother, don't you?" "I do, my son," she replied ; "Idon't be lieve you coujd either lie or steal for the best filled pock"et-look in the world." Jem was comforted. His mother had faith in his word, and a voice whispered, "Jesus knows." His own heart, teo, freed him. Though suspected of lying and dis honesty, he was at peace, because he knew the suspicion to be unjust. .The farmer, believing that Jem had hid the r;ket-book,toldthe story to his friends. Sonierrbelieved it, but many shook their heads and said, "It can't be. Jem has al ways been a truthful and honest boy." Jem felt sad to know that any thought him guilty. But he told the story over and over to his Heavenly Father, and was com forted.' Jesus made him strong to bear this eore trial. , Alter a lew days a gentleman sent for Jem and offered to hire him. Jem fasked if he knew about tha pocket-book. I "Yes," said he, "I know more than you do about it ; I saw your dog with a book in his mouth going towards your dinner kettle. I supposed you had sent him to do it, until I heard this morning from Farmer Beers that you were suspected yourself." Thus the mystery was solved ; Jem's dog had found and hid the pocket-book. The boy's honor was now clear. He jiad a bet ter place than before, and his heart was as happy as the love of Jesus could make it. Happy Jem ! He lived to be a very useful man, the trusted clerk of his employer, the support of his mother, and an honpr to the church of God. Suppose he had been guil ty of hiding the pocket-book, and lying about it, would not the story of his life have been a very different one? You know it wo ild. Learn, therefore, to be as true. Your life will then be happy, honorable,and useful to yourself and the world. Household Ornaments. Articles of ornament in the household have 60 much influence in the family as educators, that we consider theui quite as importont as objects of utility. Indeed, we should prefer to spare I .! .1.1 1 some ot tne necessaries oi me, ramer man miss the articles of taste that speak to us daily from t he walls of our home. Ti ey are not only beautiful in themselves, but they remind us pleasantly of the friends who have thought of us at our household anni versaries. Costly pictures and splendid up holstery are well enough for those wno can afford them, but those who possess them are not always people of taste, and they are by no means essential to the cultivation of taste in U3. We may have beauty t f form and color on a small scale and inexpensive material, that shall kindle the imagination and give pleasure to the feeiings quite as effectvely as the gems of art The homes of many who have a competence are utterly bare of ornament. Nothing is done, noth ing is seen within to adminster to our wants. The whole aspect is cheerless, and one es capes to the sunshine and verdure without, with a feeling of relief. It is worth much to children to have around them objects of refinement and taste, to cultivate in them an appreciation of the beautiful. It great ly helps the formation of habits of .neatness and order in them and tends to make home cheerful and happy. With love, the heart becomes a fair and fertile garden glowing with sunshine and warm hues, and exhaling sweet odors ; but without, it is a bleak desert, covered with ashes. Josh Billings says: "I am violently op posed tew ardent spirits as a bevridge, but for manufacturing purposes I think a little ot it tastes good." A thrifty wife wonders why men can't do something useful Mightn't they not as well amuse themselves in smoking ham cigars. - Had the lateexpidition of Garibaldi prof ed a success, the Pope would have been lit erally a roauin' (Roman) Catholic.
