As die the eml'ers on liie hearili.
Ami o'er ihe fl.inr ihe shl" fall.
And creeps ihe chirping cricket forth.
And licks the death watch on the wall
I see a f"nn on yunJer chair.
That srows beneath the waning light
There are the wan, sad features there
Tne pallid brow, and locks of white !
My father ! when they laid thee down.
And heaped the clay upon thy breast,
And left thee sleeping all alone,
L'pon thy narrow couch of rest,
I know not why 1 could not wepp
The s.Miiliinj drops refused to roll j
And oh! that ericf is wild and deep
Which settles tearless on the soul!
But when I saw thy vacant chair
Thine idle hat upon the wall
Thv book the penciled passage, where
Thine eves had rested, last of all ;
The trees beneaih whose friendly shade
Thy trembling feet had wandered forth
The very prints those feet had made.
When last they feebly trod the earth
And thought, while countless ages fled.
Thy vacant seat would vacant stand,
Unworn thy hat, thy book unread,
Kflaced thy footsteps from the sand.
And widowed, in this cheerless world.
The heart that srave its love to Ihee
Torn, like a vine, wli"se tendrils curled
More closely 'round the falling tree !
Oh ! father, then for her and thee.
Gushed madly fonh the scorching tears,
And oft, and long, and bitterly.
Those tears have gushed in later years ;
For, as the world grows cold around.
And things take on their real hue,
'Tis sad to learn that love is found
Alone above the stars with you.

"Protection."
A meeting was recently held in Phila
delphia, by those interested to revive tb
old exploded system " "protection" a
means of supporting the government by a
tax upon the working classes, which at
the same time pays a bounty to capital
and a number of politicians rehashed the
old speeches on that subject with as much
apparent interest as. though they were: ut
tering something new. "Hard times"
always occasion schemes of detpe.rate epec
vlation aud public robbery. Hut a scheme
that can be backed up with so much mo
ney is always dangerous. If the half
starved pnpulation ff Massachusetts can
not live upon rpiuning cotton and aboli
tion homilies, let them emigrate to the
West, or to Ireland, and go to work and
raise grain, or potatoes. That is the true
remedy for "hard times," and the best
"protection" that can he afforded. j
The above is from the Clinton A mo- I
ctat of the 2")th June a paper owned by
Mr Dicficubacli, Dp. Sec. of the Com
monwealth, and edited by Mr. Orth, re
cently appointed Notary Public at Lock
Haven by Gov. Packer. They indicate no
relaxing of the policy which has enriched
the manufacturers and capitalists of the
Old World, and given employment there
for laborers, while it has robbed thousands
of our manufacturers and capitalists and
driven tens of thousands of our laborers
out of employment. What shall the end
of this controversy be ?
Great Depreciation is Masufac
TCRI.no Property. The Providence
Journal says thai the print works of Phil
ip Allen & Sons were sold at auction last
week for $121,800. The estate was first
offered in two lots, the largest at a mini
mum of 975,000, on which there was no
bid. The whole was then put up together
at 5110,000, and was bid off at 8121,800
to the Woonsockct Company. The prin
cipal competitor in the bidding was the
house of A. & W. Sprague. The whole
first cost of the works was probably not
less than 750,000. Philip Allen is the
last Locofoco II. S. Senator from New
England.
A Growl! Of the old line Whigs in
Philadelphia &e. who turned the scale in
favor of Buchanan, three only have been
rewarded for their treachery, viz. "Lehigh-inust-do-better"
Reed, Slave catcher Lor
inj, and Roman Catholic Chandler. And
Dow the Lock Haven Democrat utters a
loud roar, and says these jackals who fol
lowed that party for the spoils have had
enough Old Buck must n't throw 'em
another bone ! " Shall children's meat
be given to dogs?" Right! starve 'em
Mas Killed by a Woman. On the
15th inst., Hugh Wilson broke into the
dwelling of a man named Uranium, who
was lying on a sick bed, in Weston, Mo.,
and commenced choking and beating bim.
His wife, Mary Branham, seized a club
and attacked Wilson, beating bim so dread
fully about the head that he died in a few
minutes. She was examined before sev
eral justices, who discharged her from cus
tody on the ground of "justifiable hom
icide." A Grateful Tribute. Mr. Wm.
Evans, tow a resident of Boston, Mass.,
Las recently made a donation to the town
cf Smithficld, in that State, of 10,000,
as a grateful tribute for the support of
himself and parents by said town, during
bis iufancy and childhood. His parents, j
with himself and other children, were !
paupers in said town and were for many !
Jttrs supported by it.

A Defence.
Worthy Editors. As your valuable
paper has a large eirculatioo and influence,
permit me through its columns to respond
to a criticism upon Union Seminary by
the editor of the Selinsgrove Journal Jt
Times.
We happened to have extended to us a
very cordial iuvitation to attend the exer
cises of the late commencement. It was
accepted, and we lift the ground well
pleased. But our critic noticed a "fea
ture" or two that be could not digest. In
the first placo, there was not enough of
diversification ; there was a lacking of va
riety, in the performances. We would
ask, could there have been more? A wi
der range of thought and contemplation
could hardly be given in the same space
and time, as a reference to the topics
treated, copied iu last week's Chronicle,
will fully demonstrate.
The Journal says the "samcnes"of the
whole ufTair was a noticeable and censura
ble feature. It seemed a little curious to
our friend that the addresses were through
out "titiittul by the same peculiarities."
Ah, indeed ! Well, we hold a different
opinion, and so, we think, do all sound
reasoning minds. We think this "same
ness" indicates a good condition of affairs.
It shows that tbe Institution has made
and lift itt mark upon the minds of those
who have attended it as studcuts. Is it
uuatural that those who sip from the same
fount should partake of the same crystal
waters ? Even as great and famous men I
have left their impressions on an age and
the people who lived eotflmpnrancoua with
ihm, bo the Union has stamped her seal
upon the minds of the noble youth and
maidens who belong to, or at any time
attended the Institution.
As regards what the Journal styles tbe
''Yankee Doodle" nature of all tbe essays
and addresses their religious character
we forbear to say much, as our remarks
might conflict with tbe well known pro
clivities of the critic. Nevertheless, we
must say it is a gladdening sight to be
hold so good a Christian spirit manifested
by the rising generation. It speaks well
for education, for good moral training,and
for tbe continuance of republicanism and
republican institutions.
The Journal seems to be dissatisfied
with the references to Bonaparte, Lord
Byron, Voltaire, and many others. But
why should the Editor manifest his entire
disapprobation of such action ? Why
should he vent bis sarcasm at an cduca-
I tional institution, because young men
' thereof, who have therein studied history
! and historical characters, in the course of
! a few houest, commonplace remarks.should
! happen to bold up, not "to public execra-
; tion," but to public scrutiny, the heroes i
i of earlier days than our own ? If the j
youth of our country deduce not their
ideas of government, both social and poll
tical,from the facts of by -gone days,wbence
shall they bo derived ? and if these facts
are referred to, is it not natural that the
character of the principal actors should be
taken into consideration, so as rightfully
to draw conclusions ? Nothing more nat-
t ural. Tbis, again, shows the valuable
' services rendered by this noble institution.
i It shows that tbe young are there taught
i to build their principles on tbe teachings
of mother experience, and experience is
' always the best instructor. This is happy
: knowledge. It is gladdening, soul-cheer-
j ing, to know that the vicious are held up
to public observation, as well as the good,
great, and virtuous. It comports with
the natural inclinations of man, which,
expressed in a few words, prompt to "11 car
all sides, then decide." We feel proud
aud glad that it is so. May it ever re
main thus.
A few words more. There were cer
tain individuals present at tbe late com
mencement, who, it seemed, were unaware
that political braggadocia was "out of or
der," and inappropriate, to say the least.
We hopo this will be borne iu mind in
future. A word to the wise is sufficient.
Union Seminary stands on a firm foot
ing. We hope it may continue to flourish
and spread its salutary influence on the
minds of the youth of our country.

Union In a Slave State.
A great Mass Meeting was held at Do
ver, Delaware, June 10th, to organise a
party to oppose the present Administra
tion. Not only each county but each
Hundred (answering to our townships)
was represented. The party was named
"The People's Party," and tbe principles
adopted for its platform arc, that tbe citi
zens of the Territories be allowed to settle
their own institutions and their own forms
of government that the Constitution of
every new State be submitted to the peo
ple for ratification or rejection before be
ing accepted by Congress that a tariff
fur revenue be laid with incidental protec
tion to homo industry that when the re
venue of the government exceeds the ex
penditures, such excess asjnay be derived
from the sale of the public lands, shall be
divided among the States and the impor
tation of foreign criminals and paupers be
prohibited. Many Democrats joined the
party.

A New Summer Trip.
Lewiiburg... Northumberland. ..Dr.Priettty.
The completion of the connection of the
Ilarrisburg and Baltimore Railroad with
Sunbury, and thus with the Sunbury &
Erie road, is an event of no small impor
tance to the commercial interests of the
country, opening up as it docs to our State
a new route of railroad travel from Harris
burg to Western New York, aud indeed
to the whole of the West, as far as Iowa.
But it is not so much in its commercial
rotations, that we desigu now to speak of
it, as in regard to the facilities it affords
for a new route of recreative summer tra
vel of the very highest iutcrest to tbe
' tourist, the poet, or the philosopher ; for
it will carrjr bim through scenery of the
: most romantic and varied kind ; all along
j the beautiful banks of the Susquehanna,
where Coleridge and his fellow poets
I dreamed of establishing thcmselveSjthougb
.1. ., t;.,i..i ;t
It would be a new and most delightful
summer trip to most of our readers, that
to Xorthumberland, and the grave of the
philosopher to Lewulury, with its hand
some University building, designed by T.
U. Walker, and with but few rivals as a
University building in the United States.
Thence the traveler might pursue his way
by Williamsport and Eltuira to Niagara,
or anywhere be pleased.

no doubt, helped to iuduce Dr. Priestly
t0 select IIere te built a residence, a
'arge ftntae mansion that still remains at
the end of between sixty and seventy
years, a sounder and better structure, for
durability and finish, than almost any
house in the whole State built at that
time. There is not a crack in the plaster,
not a stone in the foundation has settled,
not a board in the floor or on the whole
establishment seems to have shrunk the
eighth of an inch. A new coat of paint,
&c, is all it wants. Tbe band of the
practical philosopher is seen in every
plank. Here is shown the room then bis
library, in which the great man laid bit
band on his mouth that he might escape
from life unperceivedly, and there quietly
breathed his last Here the laboratory
of that prince of modern chemists, though,
alas ! since desecrated as a granary. The
profanation seemed greater than the turn
ing of Napoleon's drawing room into a
stable at St. Helena. The laboratory
chimney in tbe corner alone remains to
mark the care with which be constructed
and fitted it up that riom for those ex
periments tbat were tbe wonder of the age
and of the world. Here are the trees be

troduced all the finest fruit trees from
England, and not a few of the best sur
rounding orchards were stocked with bis
fruit. In tbe cemetery are the tombstones
of bis youngest son, in 1795, of his wife,
in 1796, and of himself, in 1804, all with
beautiful texts of scripture, evincing his
fine, calm faith in immortality and the
resurrection. From tbe top of his houso,
on which he had constructed a bilcooy,
is one of the very finest views up tbe
North West Branch of the Susquehanna
tbat the eye of man ever rested upon. It
should not be forgotten that this man bad
bis house burned and bis life perilled, for
his attachment to the cause of republican
liberty. He was an exile from his own
country, to its disgrace, on tbis account
And be became a citizen of tbe United
States and of Pennsylvania, simply and
purely from the admiration of tbe princi
ples of its government and an affinity to
such men as Franklin and as Jefferson.
It would be difficult for those of our rea
ders who are in the habit of taking a ram
mer ramble, abont the 4th or July, to oc
cupy their time more pleasantly and prof
itably, than in such inquiries and medita
tions as a "4th" spent in quietly rambling
in tbe little village and deserted house
for it is now, we believe, for sale of
tbis departed philosopher and sage of Rev-.

Touching Incident.
AN EARLY VENTURE IN WHEAT FLOUR.
The following citrac', taken from an
account written by tbe Rev. James Mil
ler, and quoted by the author of "Old
Redstone," will give the reader some idea
of the pecuniary embarrassments of early
ministers ami of the general state of the
country, and also of tbe remarkable inter- j large punw and poured upon the table a
position of Divine Providence for the re- j larger pile of gold, than most of the spec
lief of one of those miuisters. tators had ever seen before. The young
"Our story," says Mr. Miller, "will men were each paid one hundred dollars,
carry the reader back to the period when Father Smiley was asked bis charge. He
all north of the Ohio river was almost an
unbroken wildorness tbe mysterious red
man's home. On the other side, a bold
hardy band from beyond tbe mountains
bad built their log cabins, and were trying
to subdue the wilderness. To them every
hour was full of peril. The Indians
would often cross tbe river, steal their
children and horses, kill, and scalp any
victim that came in their way. They
worked iu tbe field with weapons at their
side, and on Sabbath met in a grove or
rude log eburch to hear the word of God,
with their rifles in their hands. To preach
to these settlers, .Mr. Joseph smith, a
Presbyterian minister, bad left bis pater
nal borne, east of the mountains, lie, it I
was said, was tbe second miuister who bad j
crossed tbe Monongahela. He settled in
Washington county, Pennsylvania, and
became the pastor of Cross Creek and Up
per Buffalo congregations, dividing his j
time octwecn theru. lie louod tuem a
willing aud united people, but still unable
to pay bitn a salary which would support
bis family. He, in common with all the
rly ministers, must cultivate a farm.
He purchased one on credit, promising to
pay for it with tbe salary pledged to him
by his people. Years passed away. Tbe
pastor was unpaid. Little or no money
was in circulation. Wheat was abundant,
but there was no market. It could not j
be sold for more than twelve and a half
cents, in cash. Even their salt, which
bad to be brought across tbe mouutaios
on pack-horses, was worth eight dollars per
bushel, and twenty-one bushels of wheat
bad often to be given for one of salt.
1 be time came when the payment must!
be made, aud Mr. Smith was told he must

ary was now due from his people. For
the want of tbis, bis land, bis improve-!
ments upon it, and bis hopes of remain-'
ins among a beloved Dcode. must be '
UUSV VV
; abandoned.
'
The people were called to '
gcthcr, and the case laid before them, and
tbey were greatly moved ; counsel from '
on high was sought ; plan after plan was
proposed and abandoned; the congregation I
were unable to pay a tithe of their debts,
and no money could be borrowed. In des
pair, they adjourned to meet the following
week. In tbe meantime, it was ascertain
ed that a Mr. Moore, who owned tbe only
mill in the county, would grind for them
wheat on reasonable terms. At the next
meeting, it was resolved to carry their
spare wheat to Mr. Moore's mill ; some
gave fifty bushels, some more. This was
carried from fifteen to twenty miles on
horses to mill. In a month, word came
tbat the flour was ready to go to market.
Again the people were called together.
After an earnest prayer the question was
asked, "Who will run the flour to New
Orleans 1" This was a startliog question.
Tbe work was perilous in the extreme ;
months must pass before the adventurer
could hope to return, eveu though bis
journey should be fortunate ; nearly all
tbe way was a wilderness, and gloomy
talcs were told of tbe treacherous Indians.
More than one boat's crew had gone on
that journey and bad come back no more.
"Who, then, could endure tbe toil, and
brave the danger f " None volunteered ;
the young shrunk baek, and the middle
aged had their excuse. At length a boa
ry headed man, an elder iu the church,
sixty-four years of age, rose-, and to the
astonishment of the assembly, said, "Here
lam; send me." The deepest feeling at
once pervaded tbe whole assembly. To
see their venerated elder thus devote him
self for their good, melted them to tears.
Tbey gathered around father Smiley to
learn tbat his resolution was taken ; tbat,
rather than lose their pastor, he would
brave danger, toil, and even death. Af
ter some delay and trouble, two young
men were induced, by hope of a large re
ward, to go as bis assistants. A day was
appointed for starting. The young and
old, from far and near, from love to fath
er Smiley, and deep interest in the object
of bis mission, gathered together, and
with their pastor at their head came down
from the eburch, fifteen miles away, to
tbe bank of tbe river to bid the old man
farewell. Then a prayer was offered up
by their pastor, and a parting hymn was
sung. Inen said the old Scotchman,
"Untie tbe cable, and let us see what tbe
Lord will do for us." Tbis was done,
and tbe boat floated slowly away. More
than nine months passed, and no word
came back from father Smiley. Many a
prayer had been breathed for him, but
what was bis fate was unknown. Anoth
er cabbatb came ; tne people came to
gether for worship, and there, on his rude
bench, before the preacher, composed and
devout, sat father Smiley. After service,
the pcoplo were retjuested to meet early
in the week to hear the report. All camo
again. After thanks had been returned
to Gad fur bis safe return, father Smiley
rose aud told his story : that the Lord
had prospered bis mission ; that he had
sold bis flour for twenty-seven dollars a
barrel, got safely back. He then drew a
j meekly replied, that be thought be ought
J to have ths same as one of the young
men, though be had not done quite as
much work.
It was immediately propos-
ed to pay
him three hundred dollars,
! This he refused, till the pastor was paid.
' Upon counting tbe money, it was found
; there was enough to pay what was due
Mr. Smith, to advance his salarv for the
year to come, to reward father Smiley
with three hundred dollars, and then
leave a dividend for each contributor.
Thus their debts were paid, their pastor
relieved, and, while lifd lasted, he broke
for them the bread of life. The bones of
both pastor and elder repose in tbe same
churchyard ; but a grateful posterity still
tells this pleasing story of the past."
"No Time To Read."
How often is this exclamation heard
from the lips of those engaged in busi
ness and manual labor. No time to read,
no time to think, no time to meditate, no
tima to study, no time to improve the
mind in fiue, no time for self-culture !

The frivolous distinction of North and

New Republic will bear the beautiful
and appropriate name of Virginia. The
South, as we now understand it, is the di
leivitimatfl f,ffnrin of tha OM
Dominion, where tbe true theory of Re
publican Government, with the art of its
practical manipulation, is still resident ;
and, as the South must inevitably give
character and tone to the New Republic,
the propriety of naming it with the
name of its noble old mother will not be Southern America, will have to be en
disputed. Slavery will be tbe recognized countered. It is of easy solution. All
and benign condition of all servitude un- J these are uutameable races, and must give
dcr each of these Governments. The re- place to the pure African and such other
conciliation of labor with capital being ! of the European and Yankee slaves as
complete, pauperism will disappear from re adapted to the climatic conditions of
the earth, and with it all chance of civil ; the various latitudes and terrestrial eleva-

His fondness for petty details makes him
a good statistician, while bis pluck and
aptitude for mathematics makes him ser
viceable for tbe subordiuato duties of
fighting and fortification. In the New
Republic, be will rank tbe laDkee in tbe
scale of slavery, and keep him iu subjec
tion. It is a mistake to suppose the
Frenchman unfit for slavery. All nations
incapable of self-government are fit for
nothing else. Tbe Spaniards are lazy,
but it will not do to exterminate them.
Tbe Spaniard's skill in tbe arts of assas
sination and cigar-making, can be turned
to good account. Let bim retaiu tbe lat
ter art, but divert tbe former into the
channel of the butchery of domestic ani
mals. The Spanish slave will make a
better butcher than the British slave.
He will also bo of use to the young gen

their sweethearts. Tbis last duty will be
shared by Italian slaves.

and for tbe mechanical labor of sculpture.

How all important it is, therefore, tbat
we should at once re open the slave trade,
that each and every Virginian and South

which himself and his descendants seem
