And twice year 90 out a trainin"

/ TentiOn the whole, sung out the worthy
Major Ofthe LIST bait. Cd brigade 9th divi-
sion of Pennsylvania Militia, on Wcdnes-
day LAST to his men, who were drawn uT
in solid phalanx, ready to measure sticks
with any battalion that ever mustered.-
"Eyes right and drcss!" was Numbered
along the lines, and obcyed with prompt,
ness;-and at this stage Of maneurre we
could not help indulging a smile at the
expense Of those brave fellows who did
not possess the ability of throwing THEN
eyes in that direction, without facing to
the right.
"Dress-shoulde arms" was rcvcrba.
ted with stcntorian lungs from rank to
rank, and
"Oh my countrymen what sight was
there"
Could the spirit ofthc redoubtable and
valiant Sir John Falstaf have stopped
from the clouds, or the ghost of knight
hood, Hudribas, been summoned to wit
ness the execution Of this order, they
would have dropped tear to the memo
ry of the brave lcgions they had controll-
ed, and exclaimed with a sigh,
"We here gaze on the like of your noble selves
again"
The motley groupe Of sticks and blud-
geons which were simultaneously bran
dished, in the air high towering DER the
heads of gallant troops, presented an i'm
posing sight. Corn stalks and fiddle
bows, walking sticks and riding whips,
clubs, guns, and hickory poles, were
handled with admirable dexterity; and
for the first time in our lives we were
persuaded of the great utility and impor-
tance of our militia system. To see such
feats of military skill and activity as were
displayed by the lst must be matter of
pride to the sage legislators of our state.
But courteous reader, we are not yet
done; the fun was not all to the "men at
arms"-our town was thrOnged with the
fair faces of many a smiling beauty and
'Every assie had her ladde.''
And gaily they tripped along our mcr-
ry streets, hand-in-hand, with hearts us
light as the air they brcathed. Then, the
life-stirring fiddle, broke upon the air,
and each "brisk lad with the maid Of his
heart"-sought the scene of merriment,
and tripped it down the "mazy dance
to the tune they liked so WE'LL" and
'In country dance, and reel, and jig,
They kept it up all day:
And with their toes kept Dig
Cling, digging, digging it away"
So, gentle reader ended our battalion

evening draught, and had then murder
ed him in his sleep. A few articles of
value were left undisturbcd in the cham
ber; and as the wound had been care
fully washed and covered with hair, the
physicians were of opinion that he must
have died in fit.
For six years the crime remained un-
discovered; the murderer thrivedupon his
ill-gotten wealth; and had not the toad
moved the skull he might have gone to
his grave unsuspected. So mysterious
are the workings of Providence.

SUICIDE.

The victims Of this species Of murder
have Iatterly multiplied to frightlul ex-
tent in our country. More persons have,
within the last few months, taken them
selves off the stage of life, than have cv-
er pcrishcd by any similar means, within
thrice the same measure of time, at any
antccedent period. TO trace the causes
of all these cases Of self destruction is
not in the power of living mortals; but
some secrets have been revealed which
disclose the real or pretended reasons
why some Of the victims Of self-immola-
ton conspired against their own tempo
raj existence. One, we hear, has fam
lily consisting of wife and six children,
which he cannot respectfully support, and
off he travels to the other world, and
leaves them to get their own living or
starve. Another has swallowed his do
ses of aqua vitG, in fit of mania potu,
with razor divides an artery. and bleeds
to death. A third has lost his money at
play, and being beggared in purse and
resources, he pops out his brains and
rushes into the other world in hurry to
try his fortunes there. A fourth receives
an insult, and shoots half of his head a.
way in revenge. A fifth gets in love,
and being disappointed in getting ano-
ther to love him, gets out of the difficulty
as he imagines, by taking opium and
gets into eternity--hc knows not how.
Now all these cases are evidences ofhu-
man weakness, which we are compelled
to pity, and which at the same time we
most pointcdly condemn.
If a man is poor, let him labor to be
richer, for going out ofthe world in hur-
ry will not make his family weather., or
himself more happy. Ifinsultcd, let him
bear it like man if he can, and if not
fog his opponent like hero. If he loses
money at play, or his senses by drink, let
him abstain from both, and get his living
when he gets his reason, by sober and
honest industry. If he be distressed on
account Of some fair damsel's fromn, let
him turn his attention to some other bright
object that will smile upon him. II is bet,

But smile, apd cen pleasure from sorrow may flow
Our path through this wearisome life sfa day,
is obstructed by thorns which cucumber tho way;
by sigh You those thorns will more thickly yarange
But oh! smile, and the brars to roses will change!
In the midst ola home, where your children are nigh,
Let your bosom ne 'er heave with another sad sigh
For the fondest affection shall ever be there,
TO tighten the burden Of sorrow and care!
Then sigh not, dear mother! our kindness shall leave
No cause for a sigh, and no reason 10 gricvc;
But in peace andsot rapture shall teach iistoflo%
And light up smile on the aspect ofwee.'

BOLIVAR, JACKSON AND CLAY

Some of our readers may remember message

rress, transmitting to it gold medal which ne
had received from Bolivar. The pulls OF the
:. Greatest and Best which accompanied the mes
sage; his own puffof 6 Free Iom;' and the whole

rited contempt; but the warm eulosy OIL Bolivar
which the message contained. was the suDJect OF
disapprobation with the American peoPie: dney
considered it peculiarly improper that .neir o,ie'
Magistrate should lend his official weight 10 DO

GENERAL BOLIVAR TO MR.. CLAY.

BoGoTA, 21st Nov. 1897.
SIR: cannot omit awaiting myself of the OPP
portunity afforded me, by the departure of Col.
Watts, Charge d'Afaires of the United States,
Of taking the liberty to address your Excel.
Icncy. This desire had long been entertained
by me, for the purpose of expressing my admlra.
ton of your Excellency's brilliant talents and
ardent love of liberty. All America, Colon
bia, and myself, owe your Exceiiency our purest
gratitude for the incompatible services You have
rendered to us, by sustaining our cause with a
sublime enthusiasm. Accept, therefore, this
sincere and cordial testimony which hasten TO
offer to your excelency, and to the government of
the United States, who have so greatly conhi-
buted to the emancipation of your Southern breth-
ren.
Col. Watts has. by his conduct while in Co
lombia. deserved our respect and admiration, and
secured the esteem of the Republic. For my
part, must say, that his acts in tins country have
filled with satisfaction the most enlightened OF our
citizens
have the houor to offer to your Excellency my
distinguished consideration.

THE ELECTION.

Hartford Conn., .fprH l2.-The result Of
the election in this State has proved favorable
to correct principles and far from hattering TO
the hopes of the followers of Jackson and Van
Buren, in Connecticut. The Regency here mad
decreed the destruction of our excellent Lieut.
Governor and the Secretary of State, but the
people. true to their own interests, have spurn-
ed their impertinent dictation, and notwi,hstand-
ing the small number of votes cast, have elected
both by handsome majorities. The Senate, we
believe, will stand seven Jackson and fourteen an
ti-Jackson, and the House of Representatives
about the same as last year, that is two to one
against the Heroites. In many towns decided
ly antiJackson they have elected their represent
atIves without reference to party, and in this
way many Jacksonans have been struggled into
the House who would otherwise have been elect
ed to stay at home Thesresult of the vote for
senator inthis lst! district proved different from
our expectations, and most certainly from our
wishes. Had the electors been as attentive to
have voted for Senator as for their representa-
tives, we should. instead of poor old dotard, have
elected a man of liberal and enlightened views
one whom we have found capable, honest and
faithful-one of whom we should not have been
ashamed. Hartford County has indeed fallen,
when such men as Samuel Hart and Lorain T.
Pease are here chosen Senators. But the State
is safe.

MARINE HOSPITAL.

The Marine .Asylm on the banks of the Schuyl-
kill is nearly finished.
The situation is one of the most pleasant in the
neighborhood of the city; and the building is in
a style suitable for national establishments
The front is of marble, with portico of eight
nuted columns. A balcony runs round each sto-
ny of the building.
The arrangement Of the interior is such that
eacn pensioner will have separate dormitory.
These, of course, are small, but they will be We
ry comfortable. They can be warmed and venti-
lated without difficulty.
The chapel, which is in the second story. is a
very elegant room with vaulted roof. A num-
Der of persons who were there Yesterday amused
themselves by making slight noise. and listen
ing to Its reverberatiOn through hundred cham
bers. The sound was increased so as to resemble
the report of small cannon. The chapel may
do very well for singing. but for speaknc and hear
ing will probably be found as lladapted as the
Representatives. Chamber at Washington
When the apartments shall be furnished, the re-
verberation will be less considerable.
