Written for the Democrat ALONE. BV NELLID CLIFTON. Leaden grey clouds were trooping acrosa the dull, sodden sky. Fitful gusta of wind rung weird note* on the bare branches of the old elm. that flung its gaunt arms over the half ruined tenement house. Within a bare cheerless room, a woman lay on a couch, dy ing. The fine on the hearth burned low, and the little tongues of flame were ever and an<>n shrouded in a pile of livid white ashes. Coin forties* enough was the cold, bare room, where grim poverty sat throned ; yet, in its perfect neatness, breathing of the innate pu- i rity of her whose feet were going down into j the dark River. The thin hand lying on the one, scant cover ing, told its tale of unrewarded toil—of the long, slow cankerifig of pain and anxiety.— The face was almost transparent, yet beaming traces of wondrous beauty in th* blue, lus trous eyes, the sweetly curved mouth, and the tangled masses of golden hair that th* invalid had tossed over the pillow in the fe verish restlesnese of the last struggle. Going down into the dsrk River, with no hand to clasp hers until her feet touched the other shore. Atone, alone in that dread hour with no loving eyes to meet her last yearn ing glance, no tender voice to whieper cheer ing words until the angel's "welcome home," struck on her ear God help ber in that last, sad hour; for her heart turned toward the one heart on which she had leaned in those earlier, brighter days. She remem bered that her lips had been warm with his kisses—that her ear had been no stranger u> the sweetest story that a woman ever hears. Alone, with no requiem but the November wind soughing and sighing like a humau be ing in agony, through the gnarled old elm at her window. No warmth or light except th* dying embers, fitfully glowing on the desert ed hearthstone. No, not alone, for Jesus of Nazareth stood beside the dying woman- She reached out her weary hands to Him, as the cold waters rolled over her, and the All- Pitiful gathered her in his loving arms. The light of the other ehore shone on her marble face. The peace of Heaven, the sweet trust of a sanctified spirit was in the smile thst lingered on her perfect lips. The long, dark eyelashes rested on tho marble rheek ; but the palid face bore the seal oi Hon who had supported her through "toe ** 11 v ol tbe shadow of death." Never could \ . g fx* lovelier than the chiaeled feature.- ol the tone ly dead, curtained in hair that showed the lustre of gold in the last iaint flicker of the expiring embers. Perhaps it was only the creaking of the dry branches against the window ; but surely tbe welcoming anthem of the New Jerusalem were not far from that little room, from which that white soul went out to meet its God. Footsteps are on the stair. A man crosses the apartment with heavy tread. An ashen pallness creeps over thst fine face at he kneels beside tbe lonely bed. Alas for you ! Cecil Vanner, the dead face before youu is that of tbe only woman you ever loved. No reply comes to your passionately murmured words—no response to the kisses you press on the pale brow of your dead darling. Too lat comes the caressing touch of your fin '*TO SPEAk HIS -THOUGHTS IS EVERT FREEMAN'S RlGHT*"—Thomas Jefferson* TUNKHANNOGK, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOV. 18, J863. gers on the dear, dead face of your betrothed wife. You came to claim your bride and find her tbuc. You went to a distant land to win a name, and make a fortune, to share with her, yiur bonny Eloise. You had no hopes for the future not I irked with her and this ie your welcome back. Your mother eoveted your gold. She knew you would never care for another, so she drove her out from the home where you had left her sheltered, with bitter taunts of your faithlessness. She de liberately stole your betrothed's letters, and intercepted yours. Theu Eloise begged that you might be with her in the last, sad hour—that yoar hand might clasp hers when the cold waves crept up to her feet—then youa mother re fused and she died without you, trusting and loving you to her latest breath. She died with your name written on her pure heart and she waits and watches for you on the other side of the River. Put back the tangled bait from that lair brow—press an other kiss OB the pure lips that breathed your name with her latest sigh—then stand by and see the coffin lid shut out that beautiful face forever- Let the mother who cared more for her son's gold than for his happiness, stand by and see her w>rk D > not rhmk she will relent. Her h> art las no remorse for the sure death she w >J .• unman whose gulden curls you menu he winds of HeaTeu should not t,.<. rough'y. I ko. w, Cecil, there is no comfort in an h- iir i ke this, only to feel that the good God leads .ou in the path her feet have trodden. Take up your burdens cheerfully. Only a little while and you shall go home to her who waits for you. lier pure spirit is ever near y.u and draws you to that better land, where no grave-yard sods will ever again lie between you and the heart you loved best. Try to forgive the mother who embittered you r betrothed's last hours with the unavail ing wish to have you with her—who drove her out with sharp, bitter words of scorn, that wounded your sensitive darling to the death. It was a cruel, wicked wrong—a wrong that shall plant her dying pillow with thorns—but you can leave her with Uim who bath said " Vengeance is mine : I will repay." THE BLACK, REPUBLICAN PARTY. The organization of the Republican party in 1854, and its bold though unsuccessful race for the Presidency in 1856, awakened most serious alarm among good men throughout the country. An evil genius had arisen, inspired with dreadful purpose, and eager to pull down, over the heads of a devoted people, the very temple of their liberties. The birth of this party was attended by the shedding of inao cent blood; and the crimsoned field of Kan sas, and the savage raid of old John Brown into Virginia, must ever be memorable as the historic solution of its character. To sectionalize public sentimentj to break down the safeguard of the Federal Ccnstitution ; to undermine the State Governments, the very bulwarks of American freedom—these were the purpoaes that gave life and strength to the party. Civil war and dis union were thus foreshadowed as the inev itable consequences of its success. In 1< CO, when the Republicans met in Convention at Chicago, as if to signalize their ultimate design, they assembled in e wigwam, ad-pted their resolutions with Indiau war-whoop, while a bowie knife, eight feet in length, hung above the head of their presiding officer. That spectacle of deliroua fanatics threw over the people a deep cloud of gloom, wnich lingnred around the Capital like a great fun eral pall ; and, on the sixth of November, nearly three years ago, the intelligence of the election of Abraham Lincoln broke npon the public ear like a sepulchral voice from the cemetery of nations. It was the knell of the American Union. Yet this anxious people might have been saved ; the ship of State might have been rescued from the perils of civil strife. Sec tionalism Was the bane of the hour, and an effective retndy for the disease had been pointed out by tbe elder statesmen of the country. There was the case of 1820; there was the parallel of 1832 j there was the terrific wound which had been healed in 1850: and 'oere. t<*o written in the national annala was t > bilm -uccessfullj applied to each com pro.uiN , outial conciliation. It is no* necessary to break the form til Constitutions and laws, to produce rero* lution, or rebellion. The Tiolation of tho spirit of a system will often suffice to move a people to deeds of blood, prompted by the fear of actual usurpation. This was the case of 1861, The Republic can party, whoa success has starved the whole body politic, was insulted in power, with the responsibility of the natural lifo upon its hand*. New and periloua issues were to be determined, yet their decision could easily have been made if guided by the land-marks of history. But, Abraham Lincoln and his coadjutors, jubilant and de fiant over the triumph of their party, saw not the crumbling ruins of the Republic, in the midst of which they stood. The conserratire press urged upon them the sacred duty with which tbey bad been intrusted} tbe people petitioned f of Com promise, conciliation f the public Councils rang with appeal for a speedy and peaceful adjustments-bat all in fain ! with cold, cruel indifference, the Republican party, clatehing its Chicago bowie kntfe with firmer grasp, stood oter the prostrate form of the Republic denying it the spirit—the life of the Constitu tion. The Republic was shrouded for the grave—'twas buried. And, now, What do wc Me before us 1 A carnival of blood over the tomb of the nation ! and a vast hecatomb of human bones is being gathered to commemo rate this deepest crime in history. This great war is but the frnit of that germ which, under the auspices of James G. Bir ney, was planted in the Presidential contest of 1840. Thus springing up in definite shape, more than twenty years ago, its growth has been like that of the deadly Upas. In its very origin, great and good men but too tru ly predicted its fatality to the Union. But this Republican party, though in the strength of its wickedness it has gloated over e fallen, blood-stricken people, itself must die ! The soul of American freedom is immortal, and, though its body crumble away, that soul will return again to animate the buried hopes of a nation. The American Union is to come up, at last, through all the disaster which has fallen upjn it. The good angel of Democracy will Toll the stone away from the grave in which its ene mies have placed it. The morn of resurec tion is not far distant—ie whose peaceful radiance we shall behold a mighty people once more united in the bonds of the Con stitution Our temple of liberty shall be built agaii, and we shall worship together at its altar! and they who now reign in blood shall be enslaved by a curs* through out the earth !— Dayton Empire. SOME PLAIN TRUTH 9. The Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, in his speech delivered at the Democratic mass meeting at Lancaster, thus disposed of the flippant talk of the shoddyites about Democrat* opposing tbe Government: If we bad been in any sense opposed to the Government or unfaithful to the Union, would we have proposed such a candidate for Governor ? No !we would have nominated some black Abolitionist, who believes the Constitution to be a covenant with hell, and who. by destroying the Constitution would make an end of the Union as certainly as you take the life of a man by cutting the heart out of hi* body. Or we would have worked out our destructive purposes by nominating some mighty contractor—one of those large robbeJS who are weakening the Government by depleting its treasury and stuffing into their own big pockets. With such a man wielding all the power and influ ence of this great State, Government surely could not last long. In short, if we had any evil intent against the Union, we would have taken any candidate we could lay our hands on lather than Geo. W. Woodward, the Un ion saver—the man of upright character and downright speech—whose hands are clean of all crime, and whose pockets are empty of al! gains except what came there as the juat re . ward of his honest labor Much as we honot and love him personally it is not for his sake that we desire to make bim Governor Setting aside his fidelity and oura to the National Government and Union, we oould do something a great deal more for bis profit than that. Let him avow his apostacy from the faith of his fathers ; let him prostilate his conscience and his intellect to the purposes of abolitionism ; let him forget that he belongs to the caucasaian variety of the human species and enter the service of the negro ; let him make a few speeches to show the superiority of the African over the Saxon race; let him contrive the ways and means of promoting insurrections, and always stand ready to take the part of the negro right or wrong ; above all, let him denounce the Constitution as it is and curse the Union as it was ; let him abandon the principles ol liberty in which he was bred, and degrade himself low enough to call every freeman a traitor who is not willing to be a slave. If be will do this he may get a contract on which be can cheat tbe United States at the rate of a hundred thousand dwllarß a month. If his inexperience should mak.; him awkward, and he should be detected and exposed so thst even his confederates in knavery are compell ed to admit his guilt, there would stilt be a resource for him. When the worst comes to the worst, we can get him a foreign mis sion—sead him to cool his blushes io the snows of Russia, or harden the bronze upon his cheek under the hot sun of Spain. But stealing the public money or trampling OB the Constitution is not his idea of loyalty or yours either. He would restore the Un ion by defending the Constitution, by giving to the laws tbeir just supremacy, by guarding the rights of tfie people, and by driving off thoee obscene bird* of prey that are gorging themselves on tbe prostrate carcass of the nation.

GRAPE, CANISTER ANO SHRAPNEL. An offloef in the 14th Massachusetts regi ment, recently communicated the following interesting article to a tewrenca paper : Grape consists of nine shots, arranged in three layers, waich vary in size according to tbe gun; they are held together by two plates of shout 1) Inches less diameter than the caliber ef the gone, two rings, a bolt and a nut. The canvass bag arrangement fa too old for this war f it is not to simple or dura ble, and has not been used for years, Can ister for a gun contains 27 small cast troa balls, arranged in four layers—the top of six, the remainder of seven each for a howitzer it contains forty eight small iron balls, lay ers of twelve eaeh ; for the same calliber, yen will see that the halls for canister are fa a tin cylinder, dosed at the bottom by a thick cast iron plate or a wooden plate, with a handle attached ; the interstices between the balls are closely packed with sawduat, to pre vent crowding when the piece ia fired,— Shrapnel consists of a very thin shell, which is filled with musket balls ; tbe interstices are then filled by pouring in melted sulphur; a hole is then bored through the mass of sul phur and bullets to receive the bursting charge. llow to explaio the difference between a " shrapnel" or " spherical case" and a " shell." The destructive force of a shrapnel ie what it receives from the charge in the gun, the pow der in the shrapnel being only to break the envelope atld spread the balls, they still mov ing forward by force of the impulse they re ceived from the charge in the gun, A shell is made very much thicker than tbe envelope of a shrapnel, and ia nearly filled with pow der, and will do great execution if it elplodes on the ground, it having destructite qualities in itself, aside from tbe discharge ef the gun, A shrapnel ahell has only half the charge of powder that a shell proper haa ; thus a 24- pounder shrapnel contains 175 mnsket balls, six ounces of powder, and weighs 21.75 pounds. A 24-pounder shell has twelve ounces of powder, and weighs 19.75 pounds, A 6-pounder shrapnel has 29 musket bells and 2.5 ounces o! powder. REPUBLICANS HAVE BROUGHT UP* ON US CIVIL WAR.

One of the ablest law yers in our country—a victim of long and hard brain labor—came to me a year ago, Buffering with partial paralysis. The right leg and hip were reduced in size, with constant pain ia the loins. Ho was obliged, in coming up stairs to raise the left foot first, on every stair dragging the right one after it. Pale, feeble, miserable, be told m* that he had been fail ing several years, and closed with, " My work is done. At sixty I find myself worn out." I directed him to lie down under a large win dow, and allow tbe sun to fall on every part of his body; at first, ten minutes a day, in creasing tbe time until he could expose him self to the direct rays of tbe sun a full hour. His habits were not essentially altered in any other particular. In six months he came run ning up stairs like a vigorous man of forty, and declared with sparkling eyes, " I have twenty years of work in me." " I have assisted many dyspeptic, neuralgic, rheumatic, bypocrondriacal people into health by tbe SUN SHINE.
