CHARLES b. PENROSE, ESQ.

When this gentleman was first elected to
the Senate, it was by The votes of the dem
ocrats of Cumberland and Perry counties,
who expected to find in him a representa-
tive faithful to their interests, and true to
the principles of pure democracy. 1t is un-
necessary for us now to say, how COM
pletely the conduct Of Mr.. Penrose dsap-
pointed his constituents, and talslhed the
pledges which were solemnly made by him
during the canvass which preceded his e.
lection. Our object now, is merely to ad-
vert to the unequivocal condemnation which
his former friends have passed upon his
conduct and show how elfectually they
would have exhibited their dissatisfaction,
if Mr.. Penrose had not very prudenHy
shielded himself from its exercise by con-
Meeting his fortune with two of the most
uniform federal and anti-masonic counties
in the state.
At the election of last Tuesday, the
county of Cumberland, in which Mr.. Pen
rose resides, gave a majority OF 42O votes
against him, and the county of Perry
which, in conjunction with Cumberland,
formed the district originally represented
by him-cast majority of more than GOO
votes in favor of the democratic candidate
1t will thus be seen that had the new aP.
portionment bill left the Senatorial district
as twas in 1893, mgiOritJ Of more Than
one hoetSdnd roteS would have testified to
the soundness of its democracy, and the
abhorrence and disgust with which they re-
gard the treachery and apostqcy of the in
dividual whom they had once honorcd with
their confidence. 49,,
BY the aid of the federal counties of hd
ans and Franklin, Mr.. PenroSe has sue
ceeded in gaining a reelection to the Sen
ate, but we envy not his feelings when he
examines the result of the election IN tho
counties which formed his old district, ant
marks the quiet but eilectual seal repro
baton which his former friends have pass
cd upon his conduct.-Penna Reporter.

Legislative keystone.

During the ensuing session of the legislature, the
Keystone will be published twice week, and con-
tain full reports of the proceedings in both houses
1t will also contain account of the proceedings
of the reform convention, which, (judging from
similar bodies in other states and the convention that
formed our present constitution will hardly close
its session before spring,
The political complexion of the legislature and
the important subject which will necessarily come
before it, will render the next session peculiarly in
teresting! All eyes are turned this way for speedy
reform in our present defective currency. Decided
action relative to the improvement system is ardently
desired in many quarters. These two matters of
themselves form subjects of intense interest to the
people at large.
On the 4th Of March, a, democratic convention
will assemble here and nominate a candidate for
governor. An account of this together with the
preparatory movements of the party i'll all quarters,
will be faithfully detailed From these circumstan-
ces, there never was time when a paper from the
seat of government will be of such indispensable value
to all the citizens Of the commonwealth, as for the
ensuing six months.
The terms of the Keystone are the same as here
toforc.
During the session semi weekly $500

OCl' IL.
Melancholy .46air.-We are panied to
learn, that an occurrence took place in
Peters township, on Wednesday last, which
resulted in the death of Mr.. Samuel SUi-
cart, an industrious woIthy mechanic, OF
Mercersburg. The particulars, so far as
we could gather them from hasty relation
given by gentleman of that neighborhood,
are these:-"Mr. S. had been Induced to
accompany three other men to the house
of free negro, for the purpose Of arresting
three runaway slaves these negroes,
aware of the approach of the party to take
them, retired to the loft of the building,
where they were discovered concealed un-
der bed. Upon one of them being drag
ged out by the heels, the other two sprang
up and made furious battle, with a scythe
aud other weapons found in the left. In
a few moments Mr.. Swigart had his bow
els cut out--onc oftho Negroes was woun-
ded, supposed to be moraly, and all the
white men but one more or less injured
Mr.. Swigart survived his wound about
two hours. Two of the Negroes succee,
dcd in making their cscape-whether they
were wounded OF not, has not been ascer-
tanned.
Mrs. Swigart had been married but a
few months, and our informant added, that
the melancholy fate Of her husband has
driven his wife istracted.-RepOS.

A free Banking law was passed by the
last Legislature of Missouri, providing that
any twelve or more resident freeholders in
a county, on subscribing $50 900 and paying
in 80 per cent, might commence banking

LINES by A YOUNG LADY BORN BLIND.

LINES by A YOUNG LADY BORN BLIND.
If this delicious grateful flower,
Which blows but for a little hour,
Should to sight SO lovely be
AS from its fragrance seems to INC,
A sigh must then its color show,
For that's the softest joy know.
And sure the rose is like sigh,
Born just to soothe, and then to die.
My father, when our fortunes smiled,
With jewels deck'd his eyeless child;
Their glittering worth, the world might see,
But All! they have no charms for me.
A trickling tear believed my arm,
felt it, and my heart was warm;
And sure the gem to me most dear,
Was kind fathers plying tear.

THE VIOLET.


Daughter of Spring, whose purple flower,
Loves best to hide from every eve
In deepest shade T. inhale the shower,
Unseen to bloon--unseen to die:
Like the kind hand which succor lends
To him he seeks homo in vain,
Yet bushes at the thanks he sends,
And hears his grateful with with pain.
Why dost thoa not thy flower display,
Whose odours arc so doubly sweet
Show thy soft beauties to the day,
The homage of a world to meet.
Perhaps the beauty of the Rose
by some may be preferred to thine;
Fear not--the hour of evenings close
Is dearcr than the broad days shine -
Less beautiful perchance thou art,
Yet dear to friendship thou shalt be;
Loves brightest Roses wound the heart,
But thou from envious thorns art free.
Come, quit this lone and quiet dell,
And in my garden thou shall bloom
There, in its calm retreat shalt dwell
And cheer me with thy soft perfume.
Yet no--to grace the lonely weed
Still here remain-how happy he
Who spends his life in doing good,
Yet hides himself from praise like thee.

FIR ON the new Novel of dacre,

wharfage is to woman at once the hap
picst and the saddest event of her life; it is
the promise of future bliss, raised on the
death of all present enjoyment. She quits
her home--her parents-her companions
her occupations--her amusements-
every thing on which she has hitherto de-
pended for comfort-for aflection-for
kindness-for pleasure. The parents by
whose advice she had been gulded-the
sister 70 whom she has dared impart the
every embryo thought and feeling-the
brother who has played with her, by turns
the counsellor and the counselled--and the
younger children, to whom she has hitherto
been the mother and the playmate-al are
10 be forsaken at one fell stroke; every
former tic is loosoned-the spring of every
action is to be changed; and yet she flies
with Joy ntoth untrodden path before her;
buoyed up by the confidence of requited
love, she bids fond and grateful adieu to
the life that is past, and turns with excited
hopes and joyous anticipation of the hap.
piness to come. Then woe TO the man
who can blight such hopes--who can
trcacherously lure such heart its peaceful
enjoyment, and watchful protectian of home
W no can, coward.like, break the Illusions
that have won her, and destroy the confi-
dcnco which love had inspired. Woe to
him who has too early Withdrawn the tender
plant from the props and stays of mora
disipline in which she has been nurtured

places; for on him rests the responsibility
of her errors-on him who has first laugh
her by his example to grow careless of hcl
duty, and then exposed her with a wea
kened spirit and unsatsfied heart, to the
