Childhood's days now pass before me,

Though 'mid fairer scenes I roam.

And when life's long day is closing,
Oh, how pleasant it would he.

C , assuming. the mime of
Jones; some years since; purchased a small
piece of land, and built on it a neat house
on the edge of a - common in Wiltshire.—
Here he low: resided unknowin« and almost
unknown, by .the neighborhood. Various
conjectures were formed respecting this soli
tary stranger; at length a clergyman took
some notice of him, and occasionally iuvited
him to his house, he found - him possessed of
intelligence and manners, which evidently
indicated his origin to be i the high station
of life. Returning one day from a visit to
the clergyman, he passed the house of it far.

ESSE
" The Bongs &the Night.
OEND FROM THE TALMUD
. As David, in his youthful.days, was tend
ing his flock on Bethlehem plains, the spirit
of the Lord came upon him, and. his senses
were ovoid, and his understanding enlight
ened, that he might comprehend thioiongs
of the night. The heavens proclaimed the
glory of God; the glittering stars all formed
one chorus. Their harmonious melody re
sounded on the earth, and the sweet fullness of
their voices vibrated to its uttermost bound's:
"Light is the countenance of the Eternal,'
sang the setting sun "I am the hem of his
_ rments," responded the rosy tint of twi-
The clouds gathered, and said, "We are
his nocturnal tent." And the waters in the
cloud, and the hollow voice of the thunders,
joined in the lofty chorus: "The voice of the'
Eternal is upon, the waters; the God of glory
thundereth; the Lord is upon many waters.'
' "He did fly upon my wings," whispered
the wind. And the silent air replied, "I am
the breath of God—the aspiration of his
benign presence,"
"-We hear the songs of praise," said the
earth; "all around is praise, I alone am silent
and mute." And the Ming dew replied,
"I will nourish thee, so that thou shalt be
refreshed and rejoice, and thy infant's shall
bloom, like the y. , ung rose."'
''Joyfully we bloom," replied the refresh
ed meadoers. The full cars xf - '6orm waved
.
as-- tti:tv—s to/
"We bless, you front above," said •the
moon. "We bless you," responded the stars.
And the grasshopper chirpped, "Me, too, he'
blesses in the pearlydew-drop"
"Ile quenched my thirst," said the rose;
"and refreshed me," continued the stag.—
"And he grants our food," said the beasts
of the forest. "And he clothes my lanrbs,"
greatefully sung the sheep.
"He heard me," croaked the raven, "when
I was forsaken and alone." "Ile heard me,"
said the wild goat of the forest, "when my
time came, and I cleaved"
iove woe+ , and the swal
lows and all the birds joined their song: "We
dwell on the altar of the Lord, and sleep
under the shawdow of his wings, in tranquili
ty and peace."
"And peace,'Leekoed the night; and echo
prolonged the sound, till chanticleer awaked
at-dawn and crowed, "Open the portals, the
gates of the world; the King of glory ap
proaches. Awake, arise, ye Sons of meal
Give praise, and thanks to the Lord, for the
King of glory approaches." -
The sun arose, and -David awoke from his
melodious rapture; and as long as he
the strains of creation's harmony remained
in his soul, and daily he recalled them upon
the strings of his harp.
Andrew-diohnson of Tennessee, now Mili
tary Governor of that State in a speech in
the Senate, defined his Democracy as fol
lows:
"I am i t ; Democrat now; I have been one
all my life; Lexpect to live and die one; and
,the corner-stone of my Democracy rests up
on the enduring basis of the Union. Demo
crats may come and go, but they shall nev
er divert me from the polar star by which I
have ever been guided from early life—the
great principle of Democracy upon which
this Government rests, and which cannot be
'carried out without the preservation of the
Union of these States. The pretence hith
erto employed by many who are now in the
traitor's camp has been, "we are for the U
nion; we are.not for dissolution'; but we are
opposed to coercion.'' How long, Senators,
g -sung
Where are now, most of those who sang those
syrcu tones to us ? Look back to last .ses
sion, and. inquire where now are the incti
who then.were singing that song in our ears?
IYhere is Trusten Polk, who then stood 'and
gently craved for peace ? Ile is in the rebel
camp. 'Where is John C. Breckinridge ?
a man for whose promotion to the Presiden
cy, I did what I could, physically, mentally,
and pecuniarily: but when he satisfied me
that he was breaking this Government, and
would ere long be a traitor to his country, 1
dropped him. lie was here at the last ses
sion of Congress: and everybody , could see
then that he was on, the road to the traitor's
camp. In stead of sustaining the Govern.
meat, he, too, was crying out for peice; but
he was bitter against 'Lincoln's Government.'
Sir when I talk about preserving this Govern
ment, I do not'have its executive officer in
my mind.° The executive head of the Ger . -
eminent conies in and goes out of office every
fouryears. Ile is the mere creature of the
people. I talk about the Government with

who have charge of if,. If they do well, we
can continue theimif they de wrong we can
turn them out. Mr. Lincoln having conic in

WAYNESBORO', FRANKLIN COUNTY, PENNSYLVAN A, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY x. 1802.
Air, Sunshine and Hifilth.
A New .Yor k r merchant noticed, in the
progress of years;that each successive book ,
keeper gradually lost his health, and finally
died of consumption, however vigorous and,
robust he was on entering his service. ;At
length it'oeivirred 'to him that the little red
room, where the books were kept, opened in
a bac k yard, and Was - so surrounded 'by high
walls that no sunshine came into it fiord
one year's end to another. 'An upper room
well lighted, was immediately prepared, and
his eletkwhad uniform good health ever af
ter. A fainiliar case to' general readers is
derived from medical works, white an entire
English family became ill, and all remedies
seemed to filil_ortheir stral_inesults,—whe ,
accidentally, a window glass of the room was
broken in cold weather. It was not repair
ed, and forthwith there- was a marked im
provement in the health of the inmates:—
The physician at once traced the connection,
discontinued his medicines, and ordered that
the window pane should not be replaced. A
French lady became ill. The mast eminent
physicians of her time were called in, but,
failed to restore her. At length Dupeytren,
the Napoleon of physic, was consulted. •He
noticed that she "lived M a dim room, into
the sutnever shone, the house being
:1 uated in one of the narrow streets or lanes,
of Paris. He at once ordered* more airy or
cheerful apartments, and all her ailments
vanished. The inns of,a dog bbcome
berculated (consumptive) in afew weeks, if
kept_._cspfined in a dark - . cellar. The most
c_wiiruoutilant; grows-spindly, pale, and sera &-
gy, if' no s /alight falls upon it. The
greatest Medical names in France of,,the last
century, regarded sunshine and pure air as
ag,euts in restoring and maintaining
health. From these facts , which cannot be
disputed, the most con Con mind should
conclude that cellars, and rooms on the north
ern side o f buildings, or apartments into
which the sun does not immediately shine,
should never be occupied ns family rooms or
chambers, or as libraries or studies.
Such apartments are only fit for stowage, or
purposes which never require persons to re
nain-in-them but a f • nuu es at a time.—
And every intelligent and humane parent
will arrange that the family room and the
chambers shall be the most conunoilious,
lightest and . brightest apartments i n the
Sabbath Bells
Said Daniel Webster : "I once defended a
man charged with the awful crime of mur
der. At the conclusion of the trial I asked
him what _could __induce_him -to—stain—his
hands in the blood of a fellow-being. Turn
ing his blood-shot eyes fully upon me, he
answered in a voice of despair, 'Mr. Webster
in my youth, I spent the holy Sabbath in
evil amusements, insteid of frequenting the
house of prayer and praise,' Could we go
back to the early years of all hardened crim
inals, I believe, thinly believe, that the first
departure from the path of morality was,
when they abandoned the Sabbath-school,
and their subsequent crimes might thus be
traced back to the neglect of youthful religL
ions instruction.
"Many years ago I spent a Sabbath with
Thomas Jefferson, at his residence in. Vir
ginia. It was in the month of June, and the
weather was delightful. I remarked, 'How
very sweetly sounds that Sabbath bell I'
That distinguished statesman for a moment
seemed lost in thought and then replied—
Yes, my dear W4lster, yes, it melts the
heart, it calms our passions, and makes us
boys again."
TUE REBELS SUPPLIED WITII , FUNDS.-
One of the released prisoners from Richmond
___—...r.
cavalry made a decent upon a "Dunkard"
settlement in the Valley of Roekinghani
Oiiiityja. They captured some seventy of
these hard-working, long, snuff color coated
and long-bearded, inoffensive people, and car
ried them to Richmond. After keeping,
them in confinement for some time, the rebel
guvernment agreed to release, them on condi
tion that each captive should pay into the
Treasury five hundred dollars in silver. It
was finally determined that one among them
—a clergyman of their peculiar religious
faith—should be permitted to' return , home
for the purpose of raising the amount of the
ransom. After an absence he returned 'to
Richmond, and paid over to the rebel gov
ernment twenty-two thousand five hundred
dollars iu hard Siker for the ransom of the
larger portion. of his friends. The un
fortunate who could not raise the money were
detailed to do duty among the negro team
sters.

THE spring of everlastin g life is within.--
There are clear streams gus hing up from the
depths of the soul, awl flowing out to enliv
en the sphere of Outward existence. But
like the waters of Siloah, they "go softly."
You must listen to catch the silver tones:of
the little4ill as it glides from its mountain
home; you may not witness its silent march
%through the green vale, but its course will
be seen in the fresh verdure and the opening
flowers; its presence will be known by the
forms of life and beauty that gather around
it. It is ever thus with the pure. You may
not hear the "still small voice" or heed the
silent aspiration; but there is a moral influ
ence and a holy power which you will feel.
The wilderness is made to smile, flowers of
new life and beauty spring up and flourish,
while an invisible presence breathes humor
tal fragrance through the spiritual atmos
phere.
True Self,dovernment.
An eloquent and popular lecturer gives
utterance to this eternal truth: "Men need
governments of restraint, just in proportion
to the degree in which they are nut develop
ed and free. As the individual becomes ed
ucated and, strong in his whole nature, mor
al and intellectual, he needs no government.
For God made the human soul sufficient for
all its own exigencies. it is a perfect state.•
one will deny that there` are individuals so
highly developed that they do not need the
restraints o f artificial government. This
conceded, and the possibility of all men
reaching the same standard is demonstrated
—for the principle that produces one per
feet specimen must be potent to produce
many, and its rare mani°estation in the pres
ent darkened State of the world, is a glorious
prophecy of its future universality, when all
men shall be superior to the best of to-day,_
because - the - future - will be free frotn tempta
tions and corrupting influences of evil. It is
easier to be upright among the righteous
than to maintain one's , integrity while sur
rounded by the vicious and unprincipled.—
God speed the day. when every man shall be
a law unto himself, and do righteously un
ceasingly.
SToP WORRYING.—In a social gathering
It few evenings since, the conversation turn
ed upon the prevalent tendency among men
to fret over 'evils, whether inkaginary or real;
and the subject was so impressed upon my
mind as to, change many a subsequently
gloomy thought into brightness and peace.
A elprical friend presbnt related au incident
in-Ifis own experience, the moral which is
too valuable to be lost to the public.
At a celebrated watering place he met a
lady who seemed hovering on 'the brink of
the grave. Her cheeks were hollow and
wan, her manner listless, her step languid,
and her brow wore the severe contraction
indicative both of mental and physical suffer.,
in.., so that to all o •• : s-an-ob--
pet of sincerest pity. _ _ _
' Some years afterwards he encountered
the same lady, but so bright, and fresh, and
youthful, so full of healthful buoyancy, and
. so joyous in expression, that he questioned
himself if he was deceived with regard to i
dentity.
"Is it possible," said he, "that I see be
fore me Mrs. 8., who'presented suck a dole
ful appearance at the springs a few years
since?'
"The same."
"And pray tell me, madam, the secret of
your cure. Whit means did you use to at
tain to such vigor of Mind- and -body—to
such cheerfulness and .rejuvenationV'
"A most simple remedy," returned she,
with a beaming face. "r stopped worrying
and began to laugh—thal wasull."
