Chivalry.
During tho dark era of the middle
ages, t here arose n school of moral
discipline, -the institution of chival
ry. While we foi l like looking upon
this gloomy period of the world's
history with the scorn and con
tempt it justly merits, wo enn per
ceive the approving smile of Hon von
upon those young and daring
knights, w ho ho gallantly advanced
the cause of i'hi valry. Surrounded
with nil tho immoral propensities of
thnt inot lmi-ljfous age, theso faith
fill knights inculcated Die soundest
virl in n now known among mankind.
Tho outbursts of tin- spirit of lib
erty, honor and religion wore an en
ilniiiu' us they woio wonderful.
AVondi i ful, indood, it i. that dur
ing Midi periods of prolligacy, there
nhoiil 1 I'o cherished those exalted
sentiment of chivalry. Arising nt
the tuin when foudal lords were in
supremacy, chivalry still retained
some feudal practices. The most
praiseworthy element of chivaliie
times .mis t he hi:;li esteem in which
they held tho female hi x. Tho ro
mantic gulluutry towards women
left l isting truces upon tho human
mind. The principles then advocat
ed are now among tho most exalted
virtu oh.
Among tho characteristic traits of
knights were valor, loyalty, court
esy, and tnuniticeuco. Loyalty to
them mount fidelity to engagements,
whether bodily expressed or tacitly
implied. No greater breach of loy
alty could bo committed than the
want of n lover'H tidelity towards
the lady ho nerved. Breach of faith
was a misdemeanor for which no
valor could atone. t Courtesy wan
shown not . only iu ' good breeding
and true politeness, but in a keen
respect for others, even though they
bo your most bitter enemies. The
couatantduty of all knights was the
unselfish and benevolent assistance
to the poor of their order, and tho
progress of religious liberties. A
keen sense of honor, tho distribu
tion of justice, and a scorn to evil
doers, are additional virtues found
in every truo knight.
Toprcmoto tho underlying prin
ciples of chivalry, four distinct
causes exercised th"ir inllueuce.
Tho schools for tho instruction of
(ho sons of nobility, inculcated iu
he youth of the land, the emulation
of superior virtues. They vied with
each other to please visitors and
especially ladies at balls and ban
quets. The support this movement
gave to the hoveieigns, led them to
eucourago chivulric ideas. The
Union which tho festivals and tour
naments effected, tended to increase
their powers and led to the under
taking of the crusades to the Holy
Land.
Tile honorary and substantial
priviligos of knighthood, stumped
its impress upon its advocates.
Their armor and spurs, signifying
their rank, were recognized iu for
eigu lands as well as 111 their own.
Tho achievements of military ex
ploits, to which the custonibof chival
iy tended, laid another foundation
stone for the propagation of knight
ly virtues. The promotion which
military success brought to tho vie
torn, caused tho display of tho
the most geuerous virtues of chival
ry, nnd offered a high premium to
the bruvcHt deeds and tho most dar
ing exploits.
Tho days of chivalry aro gone.
Tho valiant and gallant knights, who
so vigorously sought to benefit man
kind, aro uow no more. Theso uo
blo sous have perished ; their bones
have crumbled into dust, but rem
nants of the good they have done
still remain as eternal monuments
to their memory. Thousands upon
thousauds of polished American gen
tlemen to day raise their huts to the
female sex, only ns a relic of knight
ly virtues, Many a sympathizing
tear is dropped for sonio j.oor soul
ingiitf. Many a consoling word iH
uttered in time of trouble, which
without tho lasting gallautry of
Mediaeval knights, would never
have touud expression. All praise,
till honor, all glory, be to those
young knights for the virtues which
they exhibited and tho good they
accomplished ! Their names and
their deeds shall never bo forgotten.
peculiar! v beneficial to thoso Rec
lions of our country. Such outlets
would enlarge the markets for the
manufacturing which must surely
arise in those localities. Again, the
Stato bordering on tho Gulf of Mex
ico would bo nearest and most ne
cessiblo to this market, and throng)
the building of cotton mills, the tie
velopmcnt of iron mines, the con
struction of iron furnaces, ana the
extension of lindustrios, which are
now taking place in the new South,
they would bo lurnisued witu n
more accessible market than could
bo found in any other quarter. De-
sides it would encourage ship-build
inc and tho establishment of ship
yards in Mobile, New Orleans and
(lalveston. Neither the West nor
tho South could expect to find n
market for their manufactures in
Europe. It seems as if this bill was
especially designed to beniht those
sections of the United States. It is a
most astonishing fact that tho rep
resentatives from the Western and
Southern States should havo been so
blinded to tho future commercial
welfare of their constituents as they
were when they joined hands with
Mr. Cleveland and his free trade as
sociates ami wipd this law from the
statute book. Tho repeal of this
law was certainly an injury to the
trade of the United Slates from
gaining a foothold 111 the South and
Central America would certainly
confer a great favor on (Ireat Urit-
ain. During the last twenty years
England has been suffering severely
from competition iu China, Jay an
and India, Hussia and nearly all
continental Europo aro not onlv
closing their ports against English
goods, hut are building up indus
trial srstcms through which they
are becoming htr rivals. Southern
ami Ccutial America during tho past
twenty years have boon a fruitful
field for her commercial transac
tions. Great Dritain is guarding
this trado by all the means at her
disposal. To step in ana divide thin
trade with her nud Europo would
greatly benefit American commerce.
If tho advocates of freo trade were
really solicitous of the welfare of
tho United States and desirous of
extending our markets in foreign
countries, instead of destroying the
reciprocity treaties, they should
have upheld them.

Tho llou. Ner Middleswarth was
tho orator at this Polo Raising.
This statesman of national repute,
still lives in tho memories of our
older citizens and only they remem
ber his fiery eloquence and vigorous
appeals of popular pride when on
tho stump. Middleswarth in his day
was one of Pennsylvania's greatest

Tho old Union soldier, Samuel P.
Row, who lives within a stone's
