A silent, odor-lades air,
7rom heavy branches dropping balm;
A crowd of daisies, milky fair,
That sunward tura their faces calm,
So rapt, a bird alone may dare
To etir their rapture with its psalm.
So falls the perfectlay of June,,
To moonlit eve from dewy dawn, •
With light winds rustling through the noon,
And conscious roses half:withdrawn
In blushing buds.thet wake too 80011,
And flaunt their - hearts on every lawn.
'•
The wide content-of summer's bloom, .
Tae peaceful glory of its prime,---:
Yet over all a brooding gloom,
A desolation born of time,
As distant storm-caps tower and loom
And shroud the sun with heights sublime.
For they are vanished from the trees,
And vanished from the thronging flowers,
Whose tender tones thrilled every breeze,
And sped with intrth tlm dying limits;
No form or shape my sad eye sees,
No faithful spirit haunts these bowers.
Alone, alone, in sun or dew I
One•fled to heaven, of earth afraid;
And one to earth, with eyes untrue
Arid lips of faltering passion, strayed;
Nor shall the strenuous years renew
On any bough these leaves that fade.
Long summer days shall come and go,—
No summer brings the dead again;
I listen for that voico's flow.
And ache at heart with deepening pain;
And one fair face no more I know,
Still living - Sweet, but sweet in vain.

MISCELLANY.
In 18—, we were invited to address
the friends of Temperance in a village of
Western
of Temperance bad just been instituted,
and bad redeemed some of the most aban
doned drunkards in the place. Legions
of devils had been cast out; and noblo
men given back to their families.
The gentleman presiding over the
meeting in the church, was a noble spec
imen of a maa ; tall, finely built, polished
in manner, and with an eye and voice in
which the - light and tone of a full, great
heart were unmistakably blended. He
was dignified and commanding; yet gen
tle and unaffected as a child. I loved the
man before he had placed his hand in
mine.
Others were impressed with the bear
ing of the president of the day—why so
much I could not understand, he being
a citizen with whom they were familiar—
but a feeling of quiet, beaming joy seem
ed to pervade the vast audience iu attend
ance. 'There were three ladies in the an
dietice who more especially appeared to
labor under some deep and uncontrollable
emotion. They wept like children, but
their tears hardly seemed those of sorrow.
I noticed that the chairman, at times,
could hardly suppress his own feelings,
for the lip was pale and quivering, and
his voice was tremulous with the flooding
of tears beneath. I saw here and there,
tears dripping upon other cheeks. It was
a mystery, for the exercises had not com
menced and I had seen nothing to account
for the tears. And yet. I was deeply af
fected myself before I was aware of it.
At the close of my address,'appealed
to the people in behalf of th Division,
and asked them if it had not wrought
good in their midst? Had it not redeem
ed some citizen who was once the soul of
honor ? Had it not restored some erring
son to a widowed mother? Had it not
made some happy, and filled some aching
heart with bliss too deep for utterance ?
"It has ! and the widow's - blessing be
upon it, and the blessing of the God of
the widow and the fatherles3 !"
E. Q. JONES
As if one heart pulsed in that audi
ence, a deep and thrilling amen, burst
from every lip, the eldest of the ladies
before noticed, standing upon her feet
and weeping in the fullness of joy. The
chairman bid his face hands, and
his broad chest heaved as only that of a
strong man can do, in such an hour.
In the evening, the Division met, and
I was pleased to find the chairman of the
day, the Worthy Patriarch, filling the po
sition with that rare tact which few eau
boast. Twenty-three were initiated by
special dispensation, and the glorious old
altar glowed with the kindling of a more
glorious light. Hands silently clasped
hands; tears answered tears; and through
all, the calm smile of a great joy shone
out and warmed every heart.
After the business of the evening was
completed, the Chaplain asked that the
Division re open under the head of the
good of the order, and the doors be thrown
open to the peOple who were thronging
the streets before the building. " This
is not tio much for the people," said he,
"as for parties immediately blessed by
by our efforts here, and to bring together
Again in the holiest of earthly ties, those
whom ruin has put asunder. Angels in
bliss are drawing aside the curtains this
lour to witness a scene at this altar which
will cause joy ‘on earth and in Heaven."
The doors were thrown open, and like
a pent•up food, the people swept in and

CIIA PEER I
A Division of the Sons
COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., 'THURSDAY, NOVEMBER LB6O,
filled all the 'vacant space save that . which I
had been reserved in front (..f the altar.
First in thaticrowd, were the three ladies
I had noti2ed in the church. : Silence se
cured, the chipliin advanced into the
open space and said :
"This is one of :the happiest moments
of my life, for lam about to perform a
duty which , an angel might well be proud
to perform,
"No where in life, is the effect of rum
so cruel and desolating, as at the:home.
Tbese.spots-which-aegood God designed
should be Edens, are transformed into
hells, where hopes are crushed, out, lives
turned to gall, and the holiest ties which
ever linked human hearts, broken in ag
ony and-tears. The husband forgets the
gentle keart which gave its priceless
trust when he was worthy of it, and
treads it under foot by the broken shrine.
"But here is a pool where the angel
comes to trouble the waters, and however
long the years of . infirmity, the stricken
ones can be healed. Here is bread
' enough and to spare, and many hunger
' log prodigals have returned. • We have
seen them afar off, and there •has been
singing and rejoicing here, for the lost
has been found, and the dead made alive
again.
"We have witnessed these things in
our midst. We have seen two, whom
we all loved, join hands at the ma:liege
altar in the light of a glorious life-promise
and the fiend of - the wine-cup rend the
sacred tie, and drive the wife out to weep,
and the erring husband far down the ben
conless way of drunkenness. We have
seen one who loved as only woman can
love, compelled to obtain that seperation
which is a thousand times worse than
death. But, bless our Father in -Heav
en, the wine-cup has been dashed down,
and the exile returns and knooks at the
Eden from which he has been banished
by the flatning sword of appetite. Let
those whose love, through the long dark
night of 'the last five ycars, has clung
with changeless strength around the early
Vow, stand forth, and once more join
bands at our fraternal altar, before these
brothers and neighbors here, and God
and his good angles in Heaven."
Pale, and reeling with terrible emotion
the Worthy Patriarch stepped down and
stood a moment, as if Crushed with fear
that he would not be met by one whom I
now understood as a divorced wife. The
intensity of feeling manifested by those
present, can never be depisited on paper
—it was painful. The suspense,
howev
er, was but foi a moment. With a sharp
quick, cry of joy, the lady in black tossed
her veil back from. her face and sprang
forward and grasped the extended hand
in her own, and kissed it, over and over
again. •
•
"Mine!" she sobbed in delicious joy,
"Aline I MINE AGAIN 1 . 0 God ! how can
I thank thee fol. this. Miae at last, and
you will love me again, as of yore Hu
bert, and we shall be so happy."
Her face, the picture of innocence and
trust, and of exceeding beauty, glisten
ing with tear-drops, wearing a smile of
indescribable sweetness and joy, was up
turned to his. 'With a simultaneous cry
the long severed hearts sprang together,'
and locked in each other's embrace, they
were one again. While thus united, the
chaplain repeated the marriage ceremony.
"And what God and our reform has this
hour united, let not man or rum put
asunder. Brothers, salute your brother
and you sister."
Before the rough hand, however, had
dared disturb the clinging clutch of those
long parted, two others had joined the
weeping group.
"My own loved first born !"
'"Brother !- brother ! my own noble
brother !"
The-mbther and sister fell upon the
bowed neck of the Worthy Patriarch of
—Division, and neverdid the emblem
of the Rod, White and Blue receive a
holier baptism of joyous tears. Never
wa sthere a scene on earth more touching
and sublime.
CHAPTER: IT
As we passed from the Division room,
the mother laid her hand upon my arm,
and invited ine to spend the night with
her. We were glad to accept the invi
cation, for we wanted to learn more of
what we had that night witnessed,—
Taking her arm we walked silently home
ward, for each heart was too full for ut
terance. •
- The widow was quiet, but happy', and
for a long ti.ne sat by the fire dreamily,
now and then wiping away the tears that
would lied their way over the withered
cheek. We communed with our own
thoughts, and loved our cause better for
working such changes in the - desolate
places.
While the tea-kettle was singing over
the blaze which seemed to crackle and
flash with the new found joy, the table
was spread, and plates set for three. In
a little time the sister came in, and steal
ing up to the mother, kissed her tender
ly on the cheek. The silent act spoke
volumes—there was a happiness in their
hearts which snob acts alone could ex,-
preas. Wcrds could, not have - told it .as
impressively. ; •
Whitelwe were seated at the table, the
motheispoke of the Sons of Tempirance
as a'seeret society. We remarked, that
the organization was not '
so really. "
"But it kirsji secret," she repeated.
"A inereinattei of self protection," we
replied. • - • 1
"You have"anoathi which binds you
to keep_thakse.cret,"-,and she looked
I.l'o l '- 1
"Neroatte but that ot our promise as
nien`of honor," we answered.
"If I tell you what the secret of your
society is, will you admit the truth ?'
We heSitatinglynedded*sent and she
began.
"You saw that man: who presided at
the meeting this afternoon, and in the
Division this evening? he is my only
son. Ho married one i of the noblest of
women and commenced lite ten years ago
with means, character, and friends.. His
fall is a long, terrible history—a fearful
nightmare,. which I ; hope has passed
away. He forgot me, forgot wife, forgot
his sister, though we all clung to him th,
the darkest times of his degradation.-
-None but God will ever kuow bow I
suffered. rot path I wrestled in prayer,
even when it seemed that God had for
gotten the widow and her sorrows. Many
the long dreary nights—so dreary, Mr.
—, that I have kneeled by the aide of i
the slumbering drunkard and prayed that
the cup might pass by. My eyes have
been fountains of tears, and there, have
I been times when I have longed to die.
Times ton—God . forgive me !=-when
with clasped hands I have invoked ter
rible judgements upon those—who were
wringing my old heart in the ruin of my
boy.
"One night six months ago, he was
brought home struggling with delirium
tremens, and for three weeks vibrated
between life and death. All this time a
certain number of gentlemanly appearing
young men alternately took their places
at the bed-side. They were kind .and
did not want to think them of those who
had helped to lead him astray.
"When my son
-was able to sit up and
occamonallv walk out, I began to tremble
for I feared the worst.
"Early one evening, they asked me to
permit them to take him to the Village
for a few hours. No !. said I, you shall
not. Leave him and go: your ways, for
I fear you. But they so earnestly and
kindly urged me, promising that no harm
should befall him, that I reluctantly con
sented, and they passed out.
"The hours never seemed longer than
while they were gone, and the most of
the time I spent in prayer. Every foot:
fall in the street startled me, and my poor
achin g heart was full of fearful forebod
ings of coming evil.
"About 10 o'clock,l heard voices down
the -street, and soon after footiteps.
listened keenly, and my heart leapcd with
joy—./ knew one step, and that he was
sober. - I dared to, hope that something
better was in store for m 94 It was but a
moment and the door was . thrown open
and a half-dozen different gentlemen
were in company with my. .son: Ho
slowly advanced to where I was trying
to stand by leaning upon a chair, and for
a moment looked me in eye. He was
sober ! ,
"'Mother !' at last he cried out; 'my
own, but deeply injured, mother ! saved
at last, and you will be happy again;'
and he put his arms around my neck as
when I used to lift him from the cradle,
and sobbed aloud.
"Saved, mother Do you hear that?
A man again. You will love ma once
more: willyou not mother ?. And Amy
shall net-weep over her brother again.
And the injured • 3lary+iivill she -not

"'O, what an hour was tbat. We-have
been so happy, and have thanked God so
often. 'lt seems as if our poor hearts
could not bold all this joy. The
poor girl—has come back as you saw. to

Earth and in Heaven. But I cannot

How TO
_SECURE LNDEPENDENCE.-
TO secure independence, the practice of
simple economy is all that IS necessary.
Economy requires neither superior cour
age nor eminent virtue; it is satisfied
with ordinary energy, and the capacity of
average minds. Economy at bottom, is
but the spirit of order applied in the ad,
ministration of domestic affairs; it means
management, regularity, prridence, and
the avoidance of waste. The spirit of
economy was expressed by per. Divine
Master in these words, "Gather- up the
fragments which remain, that; nothing be
lost." His omnipotence-did not disdain
the small things of life; and even while
revealing His infinite power to the mul-
titade,,lie taught, :the pregnant- lessons
a cnickness or'which all stand so much
in' need.- Ecoilonly !also means therpower
of refining present gratification - for thc

is eminently conservative of character, of
domestic happiness, and social well being.
It allays irritation, and produces content.
It makes men lovers of public order and
security. It deprives the agitator of his
stock in trade by removing suffering, and
renders his appeals to class-hatred com
paratively innocuous. When workmen
by their industry and frugality have se
cured their own.independeece .they will
cease to regard the sight of others' well

themselves; and it will I:10 longer be pos

TUE CENSUS OP TUE NORTHWEST
The census returns are now so nearly
completed that we can approximate close
ly to the •population of the Northwest.
It will stand about as follows : • _
Ohio, 2,500,000
Indiana, 1,400,000
Illinois,
Wiscoasin,
Michigan,

Minnesota,
8,030,000
We have over eight millions of pcule
in the seven Northwesten States, a n' &sa
ber equal to the whole population of the
white population of the fifteen Slave
States. More than one quarter of the
population of the United States is now in
the. Northwest. Its peculation is nearly
equal to New York, Pennsylvania and

the sout hern points. The land of the
globe May be arranged in three-doutde
worlds, joined by isthmuses, a peninsular
on one side of the isthmus, an archipelge
on the other. The land may he diVided
into two Worlds, the Old and the New--:
the Old longest from east to West,the Nen;
from North to South. The Earth may
also be divided into a land and a water
hemisphere, the land heinisphete eon

!and England being located at its- pole.
The grand divisions of the world havescenti
similarities land some diversities. Atria

and dirsoidid in form. Asia's coast line 1
is more broken, many points, sometimes
whole countries being thrust out into the •
ocean, Europe is still more broken in
its contour, admitting the sea in every
direction. Africa a bcdy without . limbs:,
Asia a trunk with many brances, in Ed:
repe the branches over-rule the body. In
America the same contrasts are repeated;
South America has fewer indentationit
than North. All the northern lands are
more or less indented, the southern are:

All continents rise gradually from the
