TUERE'S REST NT•AI%D-HL
Let us labor therefore to enter that rest.
Ilea, iv. 2.
Mr. Wutts had, by industry and economy,
umumulated a large property. He was a
man of rather superior mind and require
ments, but, unfortunately, became addicted
to intemperance. Nuturllly fond of com
pany, and possessing superior conversational
powers, his company was much sought, and
he became eventually a sot. His wife was
a feeble woman without much decision of
character; but an only child was a reverse
illustration of those singular laws of nature
—that the females oftenest take after their
father in character and personal peculiari
ties and the males after the mother.
Mary was well aware of the consequences
that would inevitably follow her father's
course, and had used every exertion of her
persuasion and reason in her power to in
duce him to alter his habits, but without
avail; his resolutions and promises could
not. withstand temptation, and ho pursued
his downward course, till the poor girl des
paired of reform, and greviously realized
what the end must result in.
John Dunn was a young man from the
East, possessed of good education, as all
New England boys generally aro, and of
their indomitable industry and perseverance,
and was working on the farm of a neighbor
by the month.
Mary on going on ,some errand to the next
house met him on the road with the usual
salutation,—
" Good morning, Mr. Dunn."
" Good morning, Miss Watts. how is
your health?"
" Well, I thank you, but to tell the truth,
sick at heart."
'' Pray, what is the trouble?" Ld John.
"What can affect a cheerful, lively girl like
you, possessing everything that can make
you happy?"
" Os the contrary, to make me miserable.

" Anything that I can do for you, Miss
Watts, you may freely command."
"This is promising more than you would

The sweat drops on my brow,
I long to cease from labor,
To drop the burden now,
There conies a gentle chiding,
To quell each murmuring sigh ;
" Work while the day is shining,
There's resting by-and-by."
'Tis not to hear tby groaning,
Thy task is henry made,
Nor adding, to thy sorrow,
That succor is delayed ;
IVhen bending 'neath the burden,
You toil, and sweat, and cry,
Be patient," the answer,
"There's resting by-and:by."
The way is rough and thorny,
The way is dark and drear,
Me stop is growing weary,
The night is drawing near ;
Behold this verdant wayside,
How cool the shadows lie!
Nay, pause not in thy journey,
There's resting by•atl-by."

Why wage another warfare,
Where dreadful wounds arc given ?
Oh 1 give me now the trophy !
Why not, my Saviour, why?
" Still hear the cross a reason,
There's resting by-ar►d•hy."
This lire to toil is given,
And he improves it best
'Who reeks by cheerful labor
To enter into rest.
Then, pilgrim, worn and weary,
Press en, the goal is nigh :
The pan is straight betbre thee,
There's resting by-and by.
Nor ask, when overburdened,
You long for friendly aid,
II Why idle stands my brother,
No yoke upon him laid?"
The master bids him tarry,
Anti dare you ask hiui why'?

Let tins thy strength sustain,
Each sheaf that fills the garner.

know but you think me bold and defloiont
in that , maidenly eardesty becoming * wo
man; but if you knew my situation, and the
afflictions under which I suffer, I think it
would be some excuse for my course."
"have you thought :of the consequen
oes?" said John, " my situation—l am poor
—you are rich —l Oa a strunger—and—"
Indeed I have ; lam almost crazy. Lot
me explain ; you and every one else know ,
the unfortunate situation of my father.
His habits aro fixed beyond amendment,
and his property %%stimuli** , dew befere the
sun. A set of harpies are drinking his
very heart's blood, and ruin 'and misery are
staring us in the faoe. We are almost
strangers it is true, but I have.dotfomed you
closely. Your habits, your industry, and
the care and prudence with which you have
managed your; employer's business, have
always interested me."
" And yet, my dear young lady, what can
you know of me to warrant you in taking
such a step."
" It is enough for me that I am satisfied
with your character and habits—your person
and manners. lam a woman and have eyes.
We are about the same age ; se,,if you know
me and like me well enough to take me, there
is my hand."
"And, my dear Mary, there is mine, with
all my heart in it. Now, when do you de
sire it to be settled ?"

" now, this minute, give me your arm;
we will go to Squire Becton's and have the
bargain finished; at once. I don't want to
enter our house of distress again until I
have one in whom I can rely, taegntrol and
direct the affairs of my disoomado home,
and to support me in my determination to
tarn over a new leaf in my domestic affairs?"
" But not in this old hat andishirt sleeves,
Mary. "
" Yes ; and in my old sun-bonnet and
dirty apron. If you are content, let it be
done at once. I hope you will not think
that I am hard. pushed as that comes to ;
but I want a master. I am wining to be
miitrem. I will then take you home and
introduce you as my dear husband—signed,
sealed and delivered."
So Le it ; permit me to say that I have
always admired you from the first minute I
raw you, for your beauty end energy, and
industrious, amiable deportment."
Now, John, if that is sincere, this is
the happiest moment of my life, and I trust
our union will bo long and happy. I• am
the only one my father beam to; but alas,
his resolutions are like ropes of sand, I can
manage him on all subjects; you must take
charge of his business, and I have sole con
trol ; there will be no difficulty ; I am cer
tain of the result."
They were married, and a more: happy
match never was (consummated. Every
thing prospered, houses and barns were re
paired, fences and gates were regulated, and
the extensive fields: smiled and, flourished
like an Eden. The unfortunate father in a
few years, sank into a drunkard's grave.
Mary and John raised a large family, and
they still live:rospeete<and wealthy—all
from an energetic girl's resolution, fore
thought and courage.
I. 0! The PoorTax•Payers.
Do the poor tax-payers understand the
extent of stealing that is practiced upon
their little earnings under the name of
" supporting the go"ernment 7•' We note
that in the " loyal" State of Tennessee,
where that saint Brownlow, piously admin
isters the government, ono district, which
raised 118,000, the Collector only paid over
84.000 into the U. S. exchequer, pocketing
$9,000, or 60 per cent. as his share. In an
other fat district, which did better, 17 per
cent was taken out for collections. A third
instance shows 89,500 to have been retained,
and $5,800 paid to Uncle Sam for his share.
In California, collectors have pocketed
$B,OOO to 812,000 per;year on gross receipts
of $20,000 to 25,00), extracting 50 per cent
for cervices. It is safe to say that it costs
25 per cent to collect the revenue of the
country, when it ought to be done for 5 per
cent. What is the result? Instead of the
industry of the country keeping up the in.
terest on the debt and supporting the ad
ministration through the terrible tax levied,
the vast sums thus raised go into the pock
ets of the remorseless knaves, who are the
"loll" appointees to handle this money.
The Government Treasury gets but a small
portion of it, and the great debt increases
in the meanwhile. Look at "the situation !"
The expensed of the administration, and
the interest on the war:debt, costs at least
$500,000,000 per year. What are the re
sources? The internal revenue receipts the
present fiscal year are at the rate of $BlBO,-
000 only ; there have been collected since
July Ist, 1867, $135,000,000, or at the rate
of $15,000,000 per month. If we add the
supposed custom returns of' the country,
about $250,000,000, we have, at the highest
possible figure, $630,000,000, per year, to
say $500,000,000. 'Remit—an " increase of
the national debt of at least 870,000,000
per year." The workingmen are robbed by
the officials who collect the taxes, and the
great debt swells bigger and bigger. The
remedy is in your hands, workingmen- Go

that they are counted. If you are iu a ma

Party Discipline.
The Democratic' party, always aware, in
its requirements of its Members, MusirrtP•
day, exact from ovary mom in its ranks, the
most implicit obedience and the most earnest
action. The broad principles on which this
government rests are assailed; the agree ,
ment which binds the States in one Union
is put aside as a nullity, and it becomes a
duty from which the true °Bisons cannot, es
cape, to give battle to those who ere op
posed to the rights of the individual and
the maeset In the union of the citizens,
only, can we find the strength to ainfealiind•
ly resist the men who seek to bind the pop
ular action, and to effect this we must have
an organization, the laws of which will per
mit no lax conduct, and which will demand
the moat earnest support fee each and all of
its members. The Democratic party is the
party of the people—the sneers of the
classes show that it is the party of the con
stitution—the jeers of the helical, prove
that, so it becomes the organization into
which the defenders of the institutions of
republican democracy must come.
But it will be idle for this party to seek to
put itself in control of the country if it does
not come up to the necesities of the work
which it has to do, It bass . great contest
to wage against the embodiment of political
evil which seeks to direct the affairs of this
country in the intere.vGfthose who have
no sympathy with Mohr liberty. The
class interests here aro alive and at work,
and with power of place and great wealth
which they use very unscrupulously, they
will fight a bitter fight. It is a matter of
life or death to them. They must rule oriel
reified. And how is it with the Democrats?
it is as surely a fight for existence with
them, and tu , such they must conduct it.—
When a battle is being fought-.indeed in
the preparation for it, severe and exact
discipline is always enforced, or failure must
be the result, so in the oontest in which the
Democratic party is now about to engage, it
must be prepared for action and fought un
der the highest discipline it can be brought
to.
Competent, prudent and trusty leaders
must be chosen, men of nerve, men of brain,
and the whole body, down to the mere
boys who cannot do service in the ranks,
must be full of life, earnest in action and
obedient to an alacrity which is unknown in
any work but that which a man does with
all his heart. Those who come between the
substantial commanders, andi the masses,
must be careful, untiring, watchful lieuten
ants, and the least negligence—the slightest
insubordination must be sharply punished.
And we want no partisans. We arc fighting
no desultory warfare. The character of the
canipsigu is that which brings great bodies
of menin fair oiposition, and every fight
becomes a contest in the open field. Besides
the general conduct of a partisan warfare
produms a bitterness of feeling which results
in the perpetration of acts which always re
flect upon the parties engaged. In an irreg
ular contest it may be looked upon indulg
ently, but in a great struggle, on which the
highest results depend, it is almost a crimi
nal course to pursue.
The Demixratio party with whom it rests
to fight the popular side in this warfare,
must with great care avoid the doing of any
act which will detract from its character ae
a patriotic party, and which will give to the
mere seeker for personal fame or advantage
any prominent place or any:positive control.
This action is not impertinent. The per
sistent e ff ort of many men in the party to
place themselves—even to force themselves,
against the wishes of the great mass of the
party, into prominent position and into the
control of the organization, is well known,
generally, and is as thoroughly condemned.
There is a false modesty which hinders the
press from speaking of this outrage on the
people, but the great party of the masses
must not be led to disasterous defeat by any
man or set of men from the mere want of
expression from the masses that they will
not be distroyed, either to gratify the ambi
tion or to test the capacity of an itioatuPe
tent commander. The mere fact that any
one should assume or demand a position is
sufficient to cause him to be put aside in a
great popular party. The Wei:foos or the
aspiration of a man can be regarded. The
great Good of the public, alone, must be con
sidered.
We appeal to the people of this country to
see that their leaders are men of the right
character, and to see that the inefficient
shall have no control. Good men must
always be sought for, they do not thrust
themselves forward. It seems to be the
marked characteristic of genuine ability to
retire from'observation. In fact we doubt
whether truly great men ever became aware
of their intrinsic greatness. They appear
to act, in their great deeds, under some fine
impulse which, even they comprehended,
only in the result.
That we are in the midst of events which
will make or mar this government all admit ;
and it is the duty of every man to do his
best for the common safety, for the preser
vation of the free institutions of this country.
So let the earnest Democracy of Luzorne
county begin its work. Let it select effi•
cient leaders and preserve the severest dig-
Milne. No punishment will be too harsh
for the insubordinate—and the ineotnpetent
must be prevented from doing mischief.—

The (kook root of the word intoxicate,
means poison. Whoever says a man is in
toxicated says be is poisoned. And it is
true. Give a part of a shoes of ordinary
spirits to a child three or four years old, and
the child is in twenty minutes; in a oongestion
At, and probably dies. operates precise
ly like strychnine, arsenic, or any other dead
ly drug. Commence> by giving a child a
thimblefhlt at a time, and , gradually increase
the amount, and you may indurate him so
that he will swallow as much at.:a time as
would kill him at first. You may begin
with any: other poison, and do the 'same
thing. Our physical flame work is con
structed with reference to this, to enable it
to stand a large amount of any deadly snob
stance. There is nothing peculiar in this
action of alcohol. There in nothing in it
but the universal law that all poisons destroy
the susceptibility of' tqe human frame.
Why does a man like to drink liquor?
Not because it has a:good:taste, but because
it exhilarates his nervous system. The man
takes his first glass of liquor. It goes to
his stomach. Now, there is nora single
human stomach, nor:that deny animal ev
er created on this earth, that ever did or
ever can digest a drop of alcohol. The mo
ment it falls into the: stomach: every vital
wagon recognizes the presence of a deadly
euemy, It is precisely of if a lion were
thrown into a cage of tigers, and:every ti
ger were to recognize the lion as his deadly
enemy. The stomach eau not digest it, and
it cannot remain. Al the organs assist in
throwing it off, andithat great struggle of
every vital organ to rid the stomach of this
poison is the very thing which the pervert
ed senses recognize as erldloration! If a
man, standing on the moon, could have a
telescope of sufficient power to enable him
to view objects on the earth, and could have
looked upon um during the late civil war,
and have seen, dimly through the glass, the
movements of vast bodies of men, he would
have said, " This nation has an immense
population ; there is a tremendous outpour
ing
of the people ; this nation is in a state
of extraordinary prosperity."
Precisely so the man's sensorial, the point
where the nerves of sense concentrate, re
cognises, in this desperate effort of the vital
organs to get rid of an enemy, a sense of
strength and:exhileration in place of the
languor and feebleness he felt just before.
But in a little while, when nature has by all
her efforts, disposed of this poison, the
man sinks down to his former condition,
and a great deal below it. Nature has made
her superior:struggle, she has got rid of the
poison, but she has tired herself in the effort.
The next time Nature makes the same
struggle, but she has not the same strength.
The second glass does not make the man
feel so good. The more a man drinks, the
more he has to drink:to attain a certain con
dition. He has to take more and more.
Nature turns'eonstantly to rid herself of it,
but by becoming tired and gives it up.
There arc men who are not very perceptibly
effaced by liquor. It does not snake them
drunk. It does not hurt them ; they say.
But it does hurt them. I never knew a man
who drank a good deal without becoming
intoxicated, whose liquor did not kill fast
And for physiological reasons. If a man
will take poison, it is bettor to get rid . of it
than to keep it in the system. llnmkedness
is one of God's infinite mercies, sent to help
poor, mistaken humane beings to get rid of
the cousequettumsr ttitir iuiquity.
What we shod do depends largely upon
What we arc able to do. it is not easy to
fly in the face of public opinion. Laws
will, after all, be mainly , a reflection of the
moral condition of the people. They will
always be a little better, but not much bet,
ter. If you should my that no one in the
country should do a bad thing, it would be
useless, because human nature, in the de
velopment to which we have reached, would
not sustain such a law. Public sentiments
are advancing. It does not allow men to

A Thowssuad Dollar BM
Away hick in the State of Now York
lived a Dutch humor, well-to-do in the world
who always kept stmt him a thousa n d dol.
tar bill. With this in his pocket, and a
ooat on hia back, he prided himself on play
ing trioka upon strangers—particularly on
such country merchants as had recently
commenoed business in the neighborhood,
and wore not acquainted with his pecuniary
eircumstanoce.
As an instance of this kind, ho went lately
to a new merchant, with his clothes all in
rags, his toes sticking out through his shoes
him hat without a crown, and his beard a
fortnight old, and ordered a few dollars
worth of good.. The merchant stared at
him ; but as there was no great hazard in
laying out articles for him, none of which
were to be cut, he executed the command.
When the good; were ready the merchant
stared still more to hear his scurvy-looking
customer ask him to charge them.
"Charge them I" exclaimed the man of
merchandise, "ha! ha! ha! we're not in the
habit of charging our goods to everybody.
We keep a sharp lookout for breakers."
"Won't you charge 'em, den?"
"Nut to you, I thank you. You must
have a better coat upon your back to expect
to get credit from us."
"Den if you won't charge 'em,"continued
the dutchman, with great moderation, "I
must dry an pay for em down, if so be,
aupposen' I can muster money enough."
Then taking a thousand dollar bill from
hia pocket, he extended it to the merchant,
with a sly leer on his face, and said :
"Will you change dat?"
"That—what I a thousand dollar bill? Is
it possible that—that a man of your appear
ance—''
"What misther, be's you met, eh? Did
you never sec a thousand doper bill afore !"
"A man of your appearance l" continued
the merchant in astonishment, "with a thou
sand dollar bill ! I could bare sworn—"
"None of your swearing here, if you
please, rnisther, but give me mine change,
dat I may be off to mine farm again."
Off to your farm ! a thousand dollar bill !
Who are you, if I may be so bold ?"
"Who be's I? Why, don't you know
your own neighbors, man? My name is
Fritz Van Volger, a poor farmer, mit no
more as ono thousand acres of land, and dia
small bill in mine pocket, dat was—s(), so,
if you mill change it and let the be gone,
I'll thank you.
"Change it ! Lord, sir! where shall I get
money of a morning to change a thousand
dollar bill ?"
"Den I can't buy dose tings, a. you can't
change mine little bill, and you won't trust
me."
"Mist you. Mr. Van Volger ! that I will
to the amount of one thousand dollars, if
you wish. You didn't suppose I was afraid
to trust you, did you?"
"Haw, haw rroared the Dutchman, as
loud as he could laugh ; "you begin to haul
in your horns a leetle, does you? Strange
what wonders a mall thousand dollar bill
will work ins man's good opinion. So
you'll drust me now, will you?"
"Certainly, certainly sir.
"No rn be vip'd if you shall—if so be,
supposin I can find silver enough in mine
bocket to pay you:"
As ho Raid this he hauled out an old stock
ing full of dollars, paid for the goods, and
giving another "haw, haw, haw," at the
astonishment and sudden change of opinion
of the merchant, he departed.

A WOMAN ONE HUNDRED AN!) TWENTY
THREE YEARS Oux—The Green bay (Wis
consin) Advocate has the following account
of an Indian woman who died on the 13th
ult., at the ago of one hundred and twenty
three years. That is to say, she was sup
posed to have reached this age, but the
Indian traditions concerning length of years
are always vague. The Advocate says :
" Margaret Dkec-wah, or the Sea, who
died February 13th, attbe residence of Rev.
Mr. Nettles, Bay settlement, aged one hun
dred and twenty-three years, belonged to
the Ottawa Indians. She was married
three times ; by her first husband she had
one child, a son, now living at 'Menominee,
Michigan. Ho is ninety-seven years old,
but.blind and unable to walk. By her sec
ond husband she had two eons, who are dead,
and by her third, two sons. One is dead,
and the other lives at Red River. He is
eighty-two years old and attended his moth
er's funeral. In June. 1830. she became a
Catholic, and was baptized and confirmed
by the Bight Rev. Tenwich, then Bishop
of Cincinnati, while on a mission here, and
a year after she went alone in a bark canoe
to Milwaukee, for the purpose of receiving
her first communion, which she receivgl at
the house of Solomon Juneau. Last sum
mer the children of her fifth generation
were baptised at Menominee, Michigan.
For the past seven years, being without any
moans of support, she was kindly received
and eared for at the residence of Father
Dames. About two years ago she fell on
the ice, and was injured so severely that she
has not been able to walk since then. She
was ()nations to the last moment of her life,
and, three days before her death, received
the last sacraments of the Catholic church
with real Christian piety and devotion.
A GENTLEMAN said to one of his eons who
used to lio in bed hitt in the morning.--
"Your brother got up this morning at five
o'elook, and found on the eidewnik a pure
of gold." "Very well," replied the lazy
young man, "if the poor fellow to whom h
belonged bad remained in till ten, be prob•
ably would out have lift it."
NUMBER 7.
The Debt Ilascreaslblr.
Taa-nuYers, attention RP *long are
you to be ridden by the infitmona conclave
of destructionists in Washington, backed
np by the stupid fanaticism of the Mongrel
party? Tho past slaty days have increased
the public debt $40,000,000. It is morally
certain that every month from now on will
make the great load still heavier. At the
present rate of increase we shall add this
year $250,000,000 to the W 00,000,000 now
breaking the nation's back, Every depart
ment of the government, the War, Navy
and civil service, vie with each other in ex
traviganee, and the poor tax-payers are to
foot the bills. These three arms, of the
government demand $200,000,000 per year.
In 1861 the lame:Kerrie° only cent $40,000,-
000. Wo want no huge standing army ;
20,000 men are enough. We want no navy
of over 100 men of war, big and little ; thir
ty ships are sufficient. We want no troops
in the free States. We want leas than half
the tax gatherers. 4 Economy will turn 50,-
000 officials from non-productive rpositions
into wealth-producers, who, at $1 50 a day,
would earn $22,000,000 a year, and taking
the cost of the salaries they now get into
consideration, will make for the country a
yearly gain of $150,000,000. The increase
of the debt, and the continued extravagance
of the government, are riviting shackles of
iron upon the limbs of thel tat-payers.
Wake np, workingmen! You have from
now to November next to decide upon the
question of white slavery or white freedom

Iv A Nrr-Stion.L.—Some of the Mongrel
pressor are very much disturbed about the
want ofsense in the New Hampshire Demo
cratic Central Counnittee,who, as they think,
erred grievously in engaging H. Clay Dean,
Voorbees,and other "western Copperheads"
in the late canvass. If the loafers and scal
awags that sometimes stand on the 4 * verge"
of campineetings were to criticise the
preachers, and express their regret that
ouch "darned religions fellows" were en
gaged in the revival, it would be an exactly
parallel ease to the condemnation of Mr.
Dean and Co. by the sanctified Mongrels.
But, in truth, this compliment of the Mon
grels to Mr. Dean is scarcely merited, and
we doubt if he really did them as much
harm as they say, or rather imply, by their
condemnation. On the contrary, we agree
exactly with au article from the Richmond
laguirer, which we republish elsewhere.
The canvass opened in grand style for the
Democracy on the real issue—White anpre•
macy rs. Nigger equality —but the impeach•
ment of the President changed it, and while
it united the Mongrels to a man, it forced
tl e Democracy into a quasi defense of the
President, and, to a certain extent, (lemma-

How IT WAS DON —An Irishman, ad

man beheaded with his hands tied be
hind him, who directly picked up his head
and put it on his shoulders in the right
place.
" Ila ! ha!" said a bystander ; " how
eo'd he pick up his head when his hands
were tied behind him?"
"Au' sum what a purty fool you am,"
said Pat. "Couldn't hu pick it up with

BEAST DrITLER and Judgli Bingham,
two of the " tnanagers",in the impeachment
business, walked into the Senate, we see it

retorted by calling Bingham a murderer.
They both spoke the truth. but now wo see
