FEAT WOULLST THOU ASK?
0 heart, what would st thou ask of Tims?
Thy childhood's merry hoars mgaia ?
Thy yosth's delightful, golden clime ?
Thj later days of sun and rain?
Ah. no ' if onlj thou eooldat live
One moment of thy shadowed past,
bad Time the precious boon to give,
How aweet the calm at last !
One moment, to undo the deed
Of wrong oar wilful bands have dons ;
On moment to nproot the weed
That prospers in the baleful son ; '
One moment only, to recall
Unkindly words and idle sneers;
tiive this, 0 Time, and keep thou all
Thy atom of buried years
THE LOST DEEDS.
A parting glance around the office, to as
tire himself all desks, closets and iron safes
are properly secured for the night, and the
solicitor's confidential clerk locks up and
prepares for home. With coat buttoned to
the throat, and hat drawn over his eyes,
Mirk hd wards turns his steps toward home
and cheerfully faces the rough wind and
drizzling rain, which unmercifully pelt and
buffet him, as he vainly hails omnibus after
omnibus to receive the same answer "full."
But Mark makes no trouble of these out
door incouveniencies, for his mind's eye is
fixed on the well covered tea-table, bright
fire, and best of all, the pretty young wife
awaiting his return. The picture is so
pleasant that he breaks out in a line of
'"Ilome.Sweet Home," as he turns the cor
ner of the street where stands his own little
dcmieile.
Mrs. Kdwirds is peering into the dark
ness through the folds of the muslin cur
tains, and has the door open before Mark's
hand touches the knocker.
"What a night for you? love !" says the
little matron, brushing the rain drops lroin
his bushy whiskers, and kissing him com
pauionately, "and how do you come to be
fo late? '
KJward looks up at the clock as he strug
gle out of his dripping coat. "I am late.
indeed, he answered; "but Mr. Pleadwell
li started on his trip to the lakes this af
ternoon.and there were a great many things
to attend to before he went. And look
here, Fanny this package contains pome
valuable deeds and securities, which will be
called for by the owner in a few days; in the
meanwhile, I have to copy one of them, but
I dWt feel inclined to !egin to-night.
Where can I place them with safety?"
Fanny supgested his desk, but thai is the
first article a burglar would be likely to
meddle with. Her cheek paled at the idea
of such a visitor, and she considers, "That
the old csvritoire in the spare bed room, will
not that do?"
Mark hesitates. "I had so many injunc
tions to be careful, and not let them get out
of my own possession, that I am afraid
cen of that."
Fanny reminds him that there is a secrei
drawer in it. "Don't you remember," she
U "what trouble we had to find it?"
"Ha! the very place!" So she carries
the candle fur him, and the valuable packet
udepo,ited in this hidden receptacle. Its
only contents axe a few highly perfumed let
ters, tied together with a piece of ribbon,to
Uh Fanny laughing and blushing, confes
ses that they are Mark Kdwards' love effu
tfnw before marriage, carefully preserved
to War witness against him when he bc
aes old and cross.

was the love-letters ; but the small brown
paper parcel, tied with pink tape, and seal
ed, is gone !"
The husband, suspecting he knows not
what, looks almost sternly at his wife, whioe
answering glance is confused and full of ter
ror. "Tell me the truth, Fanny, my dear Fan
ny. Are you playing a trick to tease me?
Kemember, if I canuot produce those pa
Iers, I am a ruined man. It would be
worse than the loss of money ; that I might
replace, the other I cannot. Tell me where
they are."
"Indeed, Mark, I know no more about
them than you do yourself. They must be
here ; perhaps they have slipped behind
the drawer?"
Although next to impossible, the chance
is not overlooked. Hammer and chisel are
soon on hand, and the back of the escritoir
is soon knocked out, leaving no nook or
cranny where the smallest paper could re
main unperceived.
Almost beside himself, Mark led his wife
down stairs, and commenced to question
her. Where is her kev? On therms- it
has been out of her possession. Has she
been out? No. Is she sure of that?
Quite; besides, as she ventures to remind
him, the locks have not been forced, nor is
aught else missing, as would have been the
case if thieves had entered the house. In
uncontrollable agitation.the bewildered man
paces the room, while Fanny,unable to prof
fer advice, or assist him with any reasona
ble conjecture, watches hiiu in trembling si
lence. Suspicions are crowding upon his mind;
hints given before his marriage about Fan
ny Huberts' brother, and regrets uttered.
even within his hearing, that a respectable
young man like hiin, should lower himself
by such a connection. lie pauses, and de
mands whaterraud had brought that bioth-
erof hers to his house. That brother of
hcr ! What a speech ! All Fanny's sis
terly feelings wtffe iu arms, and yet she is
lorced to own that it was for the want of
money. "And you told him that I hud
thos papers in the house." She did not
n ention Mark's a flairs during their short
interview. Or if she did, would he steal
up stairs an rob his sister s home! Ridicu
lous ! Impossible!
"Impossible 1" says Mark, "Without he
has a key."
"It has not been out of my pocket," sobs
Fanny.
"Then where are the missing papers?"
asks Mark.
Receiving f r a reply a torrent of tears
and protestations he flings himself on the
sofa, and tries to steady his nerves. Mean
while, Fanny gees and institutes an unavail
ing search in every box, cupboard, and
rawer. At last she returned to the parlor
in despair. Getting frightened at Mark's
gloomy looks, she is delighted when a tap
at thedoor announces a visitor, and the vis
itor, prove 1 to be her father.
To him the affair is cirou.nsta;itia!ly de
tailed, and Mark points out the inevitable
loss of his situation and good name if ho
should be unable to produce the paper or
give any clue which nrght lead to their dis
covery. To Fanny's dismay, he particu'ai ly
dwells upon her brother's visit and her half-
made endeavor to conceal it ; concluding by
an entreaty that she will, it retaining any
affections for her husband, tell all she knows.
But now the father interposes. To tame
ly hear both his children aecused of such a
crime is more .than irrascible temper will
endure, and he enters a counter accusation
that Mark has, for some unworthy end, re
moved the parcel himself. Words now be
came so hot and bitter that Fanny's distress
is increased, not lesscnd by this champion
ship, and she weeps so bitterly and pleads
so earnestly with both, that Mark, more
touched than he would like to confess, ab
ruptly leaves them to shut himself in his
chamber. After some hours, the sound of
his footsteps eeasing,the anxious wife creeps
softly up stairs, and is relieved to find him
lying on the bed in an uneasy slumber. Her
father persuades her to rest too, but poor
Fanny sinks her head on his shoulder, feel
ing more forlorn and inferable .ban it had
ever been her lol to feel before. What will
poor Mark do? What will become of her
if he persists in believing her guilty ?
Kqually bewildered, and almost as unhap
py as his daughter, Mr. Roberts tries to
soothe her ith promises, not only to seek
(i orge, and bring him to exculpate himself,
but to forgive Mark's hasty speeches, and
assist him in investigating this mysterious
affair. So, at last, Fanny begins to feel
more comforted, and wished her father to
leave her ; but he would not quit her in
such trouble, and they coutinued to occupy
the same position by the fire till night had
long given place to morning, and Mr. Rob
erts' eye closed involuntarily.
A footstep overhead startled them. "It
is only Mark," said Fanny. "Poor fellow,
I wish he had slept longer."
In the modern six-roomed house every
sound was distinctly audible,and they heard
him enter the chamber where stands the
shattered escritoire. After a short pause
he is heard slowly descending the stairs, and
his wife raises herself from her reclining po
sition, and smooths her disordered hair. As
he entered the room Mr. Roberts whispers :
"Look, child, look !" and Fanny sees with
astonishment that her husband is fast asleep,
and holds in one hand the bundle of old
love letters.
Setting down his candle, Mark unlocks
the front of his large and well-filled book
case, and begins deliberately taking down,
one bv one. the handsomely bound volumes
of the History of Kngland, which grace the I
CLEARFIELD,
highest shelf ; then he draws out a number
of the loose magazines.hidden there because
of their untidy appearance, lays the old
love letters quite at the back of all.cart fully
replaces the books, locks the glass doors.and
is walking away, when Fanny, with a cry
which awakens him, snatches the key from
his hand. Rubbing his eyes and wondering,
he sees her eager fingers dragging Hume
and Smolett from their proud position to as
sume an inglorious one on the floor ; the
once treasured "Bcdle A.,semblee" are scat
tered in all directions, the highly prized
love letters receive similar usage ; and from
behind all the rest Fanny triumphantly take
out the small brown parcel, tied wnh a pink
tape, and sealed with the oRice seal. Cry
ing and laughing in one breath the happy
little wife is the next moment in her hus
band's arms, kissing and being kissed ad
libitum.
Little explanation wa needed. The
young man's brain, excited by extreme anx
iety regarding his trust, had led to his cau
tiously rising in the night,and unconscious
ly transferring the packet to what he after
wards remembered as the first hiding-place
which had presented itself to his mind on
bringing it home the preceding evening.
How many times he asked forgiveness is
not recorded ; but Fanny is a true woman.
quick to resent, but easilv appeased ; and
Mark has uken George and George's affairs
in hand so heartily that the young scape
grace is actually improving, and there is
even some hope of Fanny's belief in total
reformation being realized.
To-Day axd To-Moimow. To-day we
gather bright and beautiful flowers ; to-morrow
they are faded and dord. To-day a
wreath of leaves shade us; to-morrow, sere
and fallen, they crumple beneath our tread.
To day the earth is covered with a carpet of
green ; to morrow it is broken with the with
ered grass. To day the vigorous stalk only
bends before the g.ile ; to morrow, leafless
and sapless, a child may break the little stem.
To-day is ripened fruit and waving grain;
to-morrow the land is taking its Sabbath
after toil. To day we hear sweet songsters
of meadow and forest, the buzz of myriads
of instcts; to-morrow, breathe softly, all
noise is hushed and silent. To-day a stately
edifice, complete in finish and surroundings,
attracts the passer by ; to-morrow a heap of
ruins mark thj site. JTo-day there are cat
tle on a thousand hills ; to-morrow they may
fall in the slaughter. To-chy a man walks
forth in all the pride and joy of life; to
morrow he is gone. So "the fashions of the
world pass awfiy." Hut let Christ dwell
within us, and though we may pass away
like the faded leaf and sapless stalk, we shall
"arise to newness of life,"
"Where everlasting spring abides,
And never withering flowers."
What ave Owe to Decorum. "I will
do just as I please !" savs manv a hpad-
sfrongyoung man, "for whose business is it
if I choose to take the consequences?" Not
so fast, good sir. If you knew more of
human nature you would be aware that you
cannot outrage even the smallest conven
tionalities of life, which are known under
the common name of decorum, without in
juring your reputation, estranginir vour
friends and prevmiing strangers, who might
be useful to you, from making ycur acquaint
ance. Iut this is net all. ltju have no
right to disregard decorum, for the conse
quences roach others than yourself. Your
example is doing harm when it should be
doing good. Your conduct affects the stand
ing of your family ar.d associates, as well as
yourself. Going through lifo is like tread
ing a labnrynth of spring guns. If you fol
low the beaten track, you are yourself. But
f you diverge to the right or left, your in
discretion is sure to injure yourselfand u.av
harm others also. A wise man never out
rages decorum, recklessly violates prejudi
ces or thoughtlessly aets rcriardless of the
opinion of the world.
The Use of Walxct. The use of Wal
nut in the interior of dwellings is daily grow
ing in favor. Although very beautiful, when
employed iu moderation and with good taste
an eminent cabinet maker truly says that
there is danger of inordinate recourse to it,
as it has a very gloomy look, particularly if
oiled, as is usually done, with dark red oil,
ind placed in contrast with light colored
frescoing. The best finish is the natural
color of the -wood, toned to a nut brown by
the material used in finishing it.
Indian Bannock. Take one pint of
Indian meal, and stir into a pint sour milk,
(fresh buttermilk is better,)half a teaspoon
ful of salt, a ppnouful of melted butter.
Beat 2 eggs aud add, and then stir i:i a
pint of wheat flour; then thin it with milk
to the consistency of drop cakes, and when
ready to bake, add two heaping teaspoon
fuls of soda, dissolved in hot water. Four
in square buttered pans an inch thick, and
bake fifteen minutes. This quantity makes
two pans. Try it.
We are more afflicted by fancy than by
fact. To be supremely happy or miserable
we have only to imagine ourselves so. To
make the world a purgatory we have only to
think of its pains and privations ; to find it
a paradise we need but opeu our eyes to its
beauties and joys. A bad imagination keens
the soul in torment ; a good one surrounds
with clysiuni. The gulf that separates hell
from Heaven is often spanned by a dream,
and the worm becomes an angel by merely ;
using its wing.
The most perfect and powerful engines
make the least noise. Men who say most
generally do least, and those who make the
most clatter seldom bring anything to pass.
PA., WEDNESDAY; OCTOBER 28, 1868,
Congratulatory Addresses.
Roous OP the Csinji Ren-buc
State Cestrai Cshittf.e
Philadelphia, October IS,
1S68. J
Republicans of J'eunsiIrania : Yesterday
you achieved i triumph at the polls scarcely
less important in its results than the victory
of arms on the field of Gettysburg. The
integrity of the Union and the perpetuity of
the Republic were secured by the one, its
permanent peace and future glory are insur
ed by the other.
Your verd iet thus pronounced will be re
corded by the American people in November
next in a most emphatic condemnation of
the party false to the country in the hour of
its peril, false to liberty and the lights of
man. Every lover of peace and good order
congratulates you on your 'achievements in
stripping such an organization of all power
to inflict future injury on the country. Hence
forth it must sink under the same obloquy
that rests np..n the Tories of the Revolution
and the Federalits of the war of 112. En
trusted with power, it wielded it for the dis
memberment of the Republic. Confided in
by its devotees as the guardian of liberty, it
exerted ail its energies for the perpetuity of
human bondage. Professing reverence for
free speech . nd freedom of the press it si
lenced both with bowie knife and revolver
wherever it had supreme control. Assum
ing to be the guardian of the rights of man,
it became the champion ofrbuman bondage
and stood sentinel with baying blood hounds
to seize and return the fleeing fugitive, nnd
at last, dissatisfied with the result of a fair
election, it raised its hand against the life of
the Republic, and, Sampson-like, would
have buried itself in the ruins of the grand
est temple of liberty ever reared by human
hands.
It is befitting that a party scarred by such
a record should die at the hands of the peo
ple whose sense of justice it has outraged,
and whose dearest rights it has trampled in
the dust.
Republicans of the Keystone! Your
brethren throughout the Union have watch
ed the stiugale through which you have just
passed with intense interest, and its result
gladdens every patriot, heart Let not your
victory dampen your ardor or relax your en
ergy, but inarch on with closed ranks and
solid columns to complete your tictory.in

Philadelphia, October 1(5, 1808. )
Comrades: You have turned the flank of
your old enemy, and he is in full retreat ;
but you must not pause for an instant in
your pursuit. 1'ollow mm up and press him
upon all sides, until he is politically annihi
lated, and Forrest and Wade Hampton have
surrendered in the last ditch. By the way
side you will find many heretofore misguided
men, who will gladly join your victorious
column. To all such you should extend the
hand of welcome, and forget the past.
Be not blinded by the declaration that the
opposition have given up the fight. Place
no reliance in rumors of a change of candi
dates. These things are simply weak inven
tions of the enemy, intended to induce you
to halt in your forward movement. Keep
up your organizations of "Boys in Blue."
Let them, infa t, be permanent institutions
u this generation. Let them continue, plo-
rions monuments of a noble fight, for which
your children's children shall hiess you.
Let your efforts be solely devoted to in
creasing the vote of last Tuesday, and by
this means demonstrate how overwhelming
would have been your triumph had the gang
of rebel vagabonds who invaded the city of
Philadelphia been required by their allies
at their own homes. By order of the Com
mittee. C. II. T. Com is, Chairman.

THANSGIVING DAY.
lh the Pi-esi.h tit f the United States of
America,
A Proclamation. In the year which is
now drawing to its end, the art, the skill
and the lahor of the people of the Lim
ited States have been employed with great
er dilignece and vigor, an I on broa k-r
fields than ever before, and the fruits of the
earth have been gathered into the granerj
and the storehouse in marvelous abundance,
our highways have been lengthened, and
new and proclific regions have been occu
pied. We are permitted to hope that the
long protracted political and sectional dis
cussions are at no distant day to give place
to returning harmony and fraternal affection
throughout the Republic. Many foreign
States have entered into liberal agreements
with us, while nations which are far off, and
which heretofore have teen unsocial and ex
clusive, have become our friends. The an
nual period of rest which we have reached
in health and tranquility, and which is
crowned with many blessings, is by univer
sal consent a couveni-nt and suitable one
lor CJiltivatinK personal piety and practicing
public devotion.
I therefore, reccomend that Thur.-day,
the 20th day of November next, be set apart
and observed by all the people of the United
States as a day of public praise, thanksgiv
ing and prayer to the Almighty, Creator
and Divine Ruler of the Universe, by whose
ever watchful, merciful and gracious Provi
dence alone, States and nations, do less than
families and individuals, men do live and
have their being.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seat of the United
Mtes to be affixet 1.

- ft; All of 'Em. A story is told by Mr. A!
Ired J aylor of a youth whose ease is like
t hat of many others lured to the church and
Sunday schools by the vision of picnics and
sweetmeats. Iu answer to the question,
here do you go to Sunday school, Jim
my ?" the litde boy replied :
"Why, raarra, I go to the Baptisses, and
Mcthodisses, anjl the Presbyteriums, but
I've been trying the Piseopals for two or
three weeks."
"You don't seem to belong anywhere,
then Jimmy?
by, yes, marm. don't you see ? I be
longs to 'em alWxeeptin' the 'Piseopals, but
I m going to jine them too now."
" ell, Jimmy, what's your idea in going
to so many?"
"Why, you see, I gets a little of what's
going on at 'em all, marm. I gets libraries
and hymn-books, and ail that, and when
they have picnics, I goes to everyone of 'cm.
i'nur.-Mj. jiouesiy auorns virtue, as
babfulness ornaments beauty ; it haruioni
ii jusi sense oi character as modera
tion harmonizes with justice. It heightens
dignity of character, as simplicity enhances
greatness." It adds to merit the same ( harms
which candor adds to the greatness of heait.
hat is modesty ? Is it not a serisn of ex
cellence so deep and true that the observance
of duty appears a natural thing? Is it not
so sincere a desire for what is excellent,
that what is wanting is much more percep
tible than what is already obtained ? Is it
not so pure a love for what is good, that it
forgets the reward reserved for merit in the
approbation of others?
Of all the lessons that humanity has to
learn in life's schoo', the hardest is to learn
to wait. Not to wait with the folded hands
that claim life's prizes without previous ef
fort, but having struggled and crowned the
slow years with trial, sec no such result as
effort, seems to warrant nay, perhaps dis
aster instead. To stand firm at such a cris
is of existence, to preserve one's self poise
and self respect, not to lose hold or to relax
effort, thin is gTeatness, whether achieved
by man or woman whether the e3-e cf the
world notes it, or it is recorded in that book
which the light of eternity shall alone make
clear to the vision.
There is a story of an Irish newspaper ed

can elect Seymour, he will ak this as his re
ward. A sea captain, trading to the Africa coast,
was invited to meet a committee of a society
