DIY NEIGIIBOR'S WIFE.
Wh' re taught to love—from childhoods years
'Twos stamped upon my mi,(l;
My earliest article of faith
Idir'as_le_v_e for human_kind:
To love my neighbor as myself
Is Christian-like they say; .
A ntl if I love my neigh boy's wife,
How cari I help it pray?
The Golden rule I strive to heed,
Wherever I may be,
1-do-to-ethe- I - would,
That they should do to me;
And so one day I thought 'twere well
If I ibis prt text died,
And, filled with generous thought, I took
My regEbor's NA, ife to rid e.
But ah! this kind and simple act
Gave rise to slanders high;
A host of furious tongues a.saiied
My neighbor's wife and I,
'We're taught to share wi
The b lessings that we piise—
To smile with others when they smile,
dry the mourners eyes.
And when one day I chanced to nd
My neighbor's wire in tears,
I whispered words of sympathy
Wit hin her lista ing ears; •
I drew her trembling form to min o
And kissed her tears away;
The net was seen, aml lo! there was
The very deuce to pay.
Alas! alas! 'tis passing strange—
I'm sure I can't see through it;
I'm told to love with all my heat,
And blimed because Id,/ it,
The precept that I learned in youth
Will cling to me through life•;
I try to love my neighbor, and
Vm .sure I love Ws wife.
CHARLIE WENTWORTH
Charlie Wentworth was a favorite with
all—his handsome face and pleasant smile
every one liked to see; not one in the class
at Yale College was as great a favorite wi tlr
the belles of New Haven as he. No one ev
er though of disliking Charlie, his word was
law; but his college days were over, be bad
laid aside his Latin and Greek, and the
friends who listened to his well written and
ably delivered oration on commencement day,
looked from one to another with a smile of
proud satisfaction.
Charles acquitted himself with honor, and
every one was glad, and after the esereises
wore over they crowded around him sto con
gratulate him on the success he had achiev
ed;
After bidding college friends good•bye
and shaking hands with many a pretty girl,
ho returned to his father's house to pursue
his law studies. Assiduously he applied
himself, and little more than a year after hie
graduation,
he was admitted to the bar, and
the future looked bright bcforr him.
Charlie Weativorth was what is called a
moral young man, that is, he was never seen
to indulge •in bad habits. To be sure he
played an excellent game of billiards, but on
ly for ainaserunit; he was clever at cards,
but be i= ways played with a lady for a part
ner; be we.: a g. • ceful dancer, but he only
danced where ,aaliiop held her sway. He
drank au-occasionalglass of wine, but it was
with a friend, or at some convivial party; he
had never been intoxicated, and though he
often returned home flushed and excited, ho
feared no danger from contact with the wi.
cu vas ho not a gentleman, and did he not
know how to control his appetite ? Oh, no.
there was no danger for. Charlie Wentworth
......he never could .become a drunkard, and so
be went on, night after night, supping the
social glass with fashionable companions, and
in-the saloons of refinement and taste, Char-
lie-at lengtll. married—married one of the
loveliest of her sox. '
'Mary Glen was no ordinary girl—well ed
ucated, refined, and in every way a eatupin
ion for ono like Charlie.

In the world's strife,
And in the battle
Friends have all fled,

WAYNESBORO, FRANKLIN COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13,1867.
They wero married with all the lashion
.able display of the present day, and imme
diately, went to housekeeping in a handsome,
well furnished house, and everything seemed
to vrornise happiness.
Several important oases were planed in
Charlie's hands, and eloquently he pleaded
—earnestly he fought for sneeess, and no
-4,e won it, and Charlie Wentworth was
- - he -hi le- ,he
called one of the ablest lawyers in.the State.
After they had been married two years,
and the house bad been made cheerful by
the prattling of a little babe, Mary's father
died, and it was found after his death that
he died insolvent.
• Sincerely Mary mourned for him, but she
turned to her husband and ehild for comfort,
and as she was an only child and motherless,
they became dearer thaq,,ever , to her.

p'ered about thaj_it-would not do to trust an
important caa"ro Charlie Wentworth, for
during the last year he bad lost several cases
by forgetting himself; and indulging to free
ly in wine, when he needed a clear head to
plead the cause of his client.
--Business-began to falt — c - 1) f; - Ilif - :7lliisant
home was mortgaged, and taken from him;
he moved his family to a neat little cottage,
and still indulged in his ever increasing ap
petite for drink, managed to gain a meager
subsistence. • _ _ _
- _
In vain Mary pleaded with him—in vain
_she-urged-the-slaims - of - the - two - hrtgled
little girls who called him father—in vain
she appealed to his manhood; he had lost it
forever in the sea•of strong drink, and day
e d-t e-v-i pets till- - eloser - to - hi -
bosom .
At length he discontinued all attempts at
business, moved his family into a miserable at
tic in one of the back streets of the eity - Tand
spent his time in grog shops, and few who
looked upon the ragged, bloated creature
staggerirrg through the streets, would have
-recognize
.iariie Wentworth, who eight years before
was the pride and favorite of the graduating
class at Yale College.
It happened that two classmates who had
not seen him since his graduation, men who
had rien to occupy high positions among
their fellow men—one a the_other
aa
itvere passing through .the city of
Hartford, and determined to see their old
friend and gifted companion.
They found his wife is the last stage of
consumption; she was nearing that 'hoae
from whence no traveler returs,' and feeling
that her hours on earth were numbered,
they set out in search for Charlie.
They found him in one of the low dens of
iniquity that infest the city, and telling him
his wife was dying, they led himfrom the
ce a ncl_ co ad u m—up—the -- rie - k - ety
stairs to the bedside of his wife, he fell upon
the floor beside her bed, and she twined her
thin arms about his neck, and in a weak,
trembling voice said :
'Oh, Charlie, lam dying! I cannot stay
with you and4the children any longer, but
Alen I am gone, oh, what will become of I
the little girls if you do not give up strong
drick ?'
'Mary,' said the half-drunken creature,
turning his bloodshot eyes up to her in a
meaningless gaze, 'l'll tell you whati'll do:—
if you die to-night, I'll box up the girls and
send them to after you.'
Yes, that was the awful reply of Charlie
Wentworth, once the pride of the college,'
the man of letters,.and deep scholar, the a
ble lawyer, made to 4 his dying wife.
That was the power drink had over one of
its victims. All his bright, beautiful mind
enclouded; all pride scattered to the
winds; all that was pure. good, true and no
ble, crushed out of his nature, and the fiend
of darkness and of sin, ruling there instead.
The wasted arms of his wife relaxed their
hold, her head sank powerless upon her bo
som, and they knew she was dead. _
These two friends who had known and
loved Charles Wentworth in his days of
pride and promise, when the stamp of God
was yet visible upon his features, saw that
the broken hearted wife was decently buried,
and the children properly cared for; but
Charlie,- poor Charlie Wentworth, died a few
weeks after in the street amid the silence of
the night, with no hand to 'smooth his pil
low, no voice to whisper love, no eye to weep
for his departure.
And that is what drink did.
He murdered the wife of his bosom, killed
himself, and all to gratify a love for drink.
This is a true story. There are many liv
ing in the city of Hartford who would readi
ly recognize Charlie Wentworth, and can
we, knowing, that such scenes are occurring
around us daily, remain quiet at the festal
board? for 'twas there Charlie Wentworth
learned to love the tempter.
No, no—we will rather bear the name of
fanatic, and receive the jeers and scorns of
fashion's votaries; for we know that in fight
ing for the cause of temperance we are fight
ing for the cause of Christ; and we would
that we might influence every man and wo
man in the land to banish from the social
board the tempting wine.
For are we not commanded 'not to look
upon the wine when it is red 7' and are we
not told that 'strong drink is a mocker ?'
If we are not to louk upon it, bow much
greater must be the sin when we drink it,
and give it to others to drink ?
A young fellow whose better half had
just presented him with a pair of twins, at
tended church on Sunday. During the dis
course, the clergyman looked right at our
innocent friend and said, in a tone of thril
ling eloquence, 'young man, sou have a very
important responsibility thurat upon you.'
The newly fledged dad, supposing that the
preacher alluded to hie peculiar home event,
considerably startled the preacher by ex
claiming,, 'yes, I have two of them!'
Those who b'ow the cools of others, strife
may chance to have the sparks fly in their
own faces.
Night Scene in a fording House.
Mistakes in hording houses for ladies and
gentlemen are not unfrequent, and often
they give rise to considerable gossip an ,
scandal, receive the renown of a ninedays
wonder, and then are-forgotten. We have
heard of gentlemen mistaking their rooms be
cause of the important fact of the doors and
frame work and_ the hall carpets being pretty
much alike. Besides this, gentlemen some
times are in ,a state of mental or vinous un•
certainty, and all bed rooms at such a • time
are pretty much the same to them—in they
go, and perhaps half undressed, throw them,
selves upon the bed.
,and soon become en
wrapped in the dreamy embrace of somnus
flavored with Bacchus and tobaccus.
Boarding houses furnish much material
for shi _n. • • maii•=a•li,WlELt,uucaabag

Presently a light wailbrough,t and several
of the male boarders appear4llllarmed, to
give the thief or robber such a treatment as
he had justly earned for himself.
The door was opened, and in rushed the
valiant squad, and, sure enough, the fellow
was still iribe,d with the top of his bead just
peeping above , the,sheet.
'Come out of here, you scoundrel!' said
one of the men, at the same time grasping
him by the hair.
The tableaux was strikingly interesting
and graphic. •
The resolute boarder almost fell from the
impetus he had given himself, for instead of
jerking out a man, it was nothing more than
a 'frizzed chio.non,! which the lovely occu
pant of the bed had forggotteia to take off
when .she retired for the night. It had
been detached in her sleep, and, grazing her
cheek, awakened her. The alarm, of course,
was quite natural. The boarders bad a
hearty tench, and all retired ,to happy
dreams.—Philadelphia Press.
" . The Writing on the Rook. -
Ages upon ages ago the tide was out, and,
the muddy beac lay smooth as this sheet of
paper before me. A cloud passed over the
sky, and a shower of big rain or hail came
down, and pitted the mud as thick as leaves
on ie trees. A strong wind drove the
drops, so that the impressions wore a little
one-sided. They bad written their short
history as plain as my pen can write; and
even the direction from the wind blew was
a ,
recorded. Some great frogs and liz ds
which used to live there, came hopping o -
er the °mud, and left their tracks also dee yr
printed on the shore. By and by the gr t
waves came softly stealing up, and covered
the whole surface with fine sand, and so the
tracks were seen no more for ages upon ages
The clay hardened into solid rock, and iso
did the sand; and after these thousands of
years bad passed away, some masons came
upon the curious inscription. Men of science,
who are skilled in reading these stony leaves
of God's great book, read, as plainly as if
they had been present, the story of that
passing shower. It had been written on the
softest clay, but it was read on solid rock.
So your hearts to-day are like the soft clay.
Everything stanips them, but the stamps
are not so easy to remove. They will be

Men take us by the band and arc anxious
about the health of our bodies, and laugh at
our jokes, and we really think, like the fly on
the wheel, that we have something. to do with
the turning of the earth. Sonic day we die,
and are buried. The sun does not stop for
our funeral; everything goes on as usual;

jokes; one or two hearts feel the wound of
affliction, one or two memories still hold our

of time sweeps over our steps and washes out
the last vestage of our lives.
The Worth of Knowledge•
Could young people be generally persua
ded to belieVe that 'knowledge,. is power,"
and that he who possesses it has within him
self all the elements of enjoyment and success
in life, there would be a closer hunbanding
of leisure hours, fewer evening spent in lon
ging upon corners, and fewer dimes and dol
lars expended for cigars, lager beer, tobacco,
and other costly and hurtful indulgences.—
It were folly to assert that suah ability as
was possessed by Shakepeare, Scott, Macau
ley, Noah Webster, Agassiz, or other illus
trious poets, novelists, historians, lexicogra
phers or naturalists, is within the reach of
all men; but it is sound philosophy to as

The Bright Side.
'Many troubles in life cease when we cease
to nurse them.'
17e, true enough. Don't sit there in your
darkened room, with that long, hopeless face
fretting your life • over what is inevitable.
No, indeed. Throw back the blinds, and
give free pass to the rich, glad sunlight,
put the gayest of carpets on your floors, ro
sy•hued curtains to your windows; arrange
your books and ornaments tastefully; and, a
bove-all things, cast aside that dingy , som
bre dress, and bring out a neat bright mor
ning wrapper, with its snowy skirt peeping
through; then bang your pet canary in the
window, and ace if ho will not put you to
shame with his merry earrols of gladness.
Why will you persist in living in dark
ness, when God's sunlight is smiling so
brightly around you? 'Set traps' for it, and
store some for dark days.
Do you say your dearest treasure is tak
en from you—your little ewe lamb—and
the sunlight mocks you with its brightness?
For shame! IN hat would you think of a
child that you had loaded with toys; and be
cause you took away what you thought
might be hUrtful, should throw them all a
side, and mourn over the one? Would you
not put them all away until ho learned to
appreciate them better?
It is said, 'There is a skeleton in every
house. Aye, may be there is, and our Fa
ther sees we need such discipline. Then
learn to look it bravely in the face, and
make the best of h, never forgetting the
blessings Providence is showering so richly
upon you. Da not tempt God with your in
grattitudo to take them all away.
And what's more—don't keep looking for
ward into the dim uncertain future for hap
piness, it is a phantoni that will elude your
grasp forever. Take the present by the
hand, and be friends with it. If it bring
you sorrow, then pass meekly beneath the
rod, feeling that God will not forget his
promise. 'As thy day is, so shall thy
strength be. My grace is sufficient for
thee.'
If prosperity comes; then accept it with
thankfulness, blessing the giver, and look
ing up for guidance, never forgetting the
petition. 'Lead us not into temptation.'
When will we learn to live? Alas! that
it should bo when we pillow our beads on
the bed of death! Then shall we look back
with regret at the blessings unheeded, priv
ileges unprised, paths of usefulness untrod.
Father in Heaven, teach us to live, that
when we are celled to render a final account,
it may bo done with joy and not with grief.

East Wind.
Why should the wind coming from the
east over an ocean of water depress the ha
man body, while that which comes from the
west across a continent enlivens the spirit
and gives courage and vigor? Be this as it
may, it seems as if some people never felt
any wind that was not east. They are al
ways "out of sorts.° I met one of these
men awhile ago, a farmer, who raised all
manner of orops. It•was a wet day, and I
said:
"Mr. Nayling, this rain will be fine for
your grass crop. '
"Yes, perhaps; but it is bad for corn, and
will keep it bank: I don't believe - we shall
have a crop.''

TIIE GOOD blAsr.-:•-•The geed man is the
very salt of society. And fortunately for
almost all communities, at least one such
man is to be found everywhere. Ile may or
may not be the most prominent, the most
wealthy, the best educated citizen of his
neighborhood; but be his surroundings what
they may. ho is the centre of a distinct class
of influence indispensable to the weal of so
ciety. He stands firm when others are yiel-
ding; the farthest removed from dishonest
tricks or heated strifes, he is a composer of
differences. Always happy in the conscious
ness of his own integrity, he is calm when
others around him are violent and alarmed;
invariably careful in formins.°
°
and expressing
his opinions, his judgment is deferred to
when the heats of passion have subsided and
men wish to,ascertain the path of safety.
One such person in a community, one such
Christlan in a church, is of more value than
thousands of silver and gold. Great multi
tudes of people cannot have, in the straight
sense, minds of their own, They either lack
original capacity or training, and they must
have some such men insensibly to think for
them, to be their moral or spiritual guide
He becomes a reservoir which is constantly
tapped for spiritual knowledge. Lesser and
feebler souls take hold of hie strength and are
held up by it. By the fiches of a single rich
man, employed in manufacture or commerce,
hundreds, of poor families may live; and so
there may issue from the heart of one good
man streams of religious wealth which will
nourish and indirectly sustain very many who
are not so much producers as oonsurners in
the religious world.

what a farmer would call a good sprinkling.
Potatoes should be - excluded from the light,
