CONVERSIONS McDowELL AND THOMAS
We copied, the other dav, from

some time separated from her hus

1',Do Brothers meeting in a Desert.
"A foreign correspondent, writing
from Alexandria. Feb. 6, mentions a
curious meeting which took place in
the derest between Suez and Cairo.
A Mr.. Fawcett, who arrived here by
the Oriental on his way to India,
when-at Cairo, heard .liat his BROTHER
was expected by that months steam.
er from Bombay. The two brothers
had never seen each other, the one
being born in England. whilst the eI-
der brother was in India, where he
had lived 80 years. As the younger
Mr.. F. was proceeding across the
desert on his donkey. he called out to
the groups of travellers he met com.
ing from Suez. whether Major Faw.
cett was amongst them, and towards
midnight n voice answered TO Mr..
Fawcett's call, and the two brothers
shook hands in the dark; they both
expressed a wish to see each others
face; but no light was TO be had, and
they were obliged to part again, no,
having been together more than three
or four minutes.

exactly upon the same footing as il
was before. Some persons acquire
these suspicious ways from a natural
dIffidence in themselves; for which
they are often loved the more; and
they might find ample comfort in that.
ii they could but believe it. With
others these habits arise from q sell
fishness which can not be satisfied.
And their e%ndeavors should be to up
root such a disposition, not 10 soolh
it.
"Conteniment abides with truth.

sure we all have our favorites, but
their claims should be preessd with
moderation, and q due respect for
claims of others. Let who will be G.
lected by the Democrats, the great
questions are, whether we shall re-
turn to the policy out Of which our
funding system and two National
Banks were created? or, whether We
shall have a simple and honest gov
eminent, united TO the wants of a
free, plain. and sober republican peo-
pie? The Federalists have a mista-
ken notion, that a national debt, a ma
tional bank, a high revenue, and high
expenditures, are essential to a strong
and efficient government. These
things may be necessary under tho
British Government, where the OBJ.
ject is TO keep the people in subjec-
ton, and where the dictrine is that
"peop!e is a monster that must be
muzzled." But not in a government
where the object is the "greatest good
of the creates. number" There, the
strength Of the government is sus-
tanned by weakening the popular arm
and by Strengthening the aristocracy.
Here. the strength Of the government
consists in its forbearance and mod
Grafton, and in its being sustained by
the popular voice.--M. C.. Standard.

THE MIDDLE PARTY"
New Hope. May, 1913.

II appears that the Administration
is getting rather tired OF shedding the
balance Of power. The "Corporal's
guard" is not strong enough; and, as
there is very little prospect of form
ing a third party, tile attemp, is now
making to saddle the Democratic par
" with the present Administration.
The "Madisonian" publishes elabo-
rate articles to prove that John Ty-
Ter is, and always has been. a Demo
Graf; and that "Col. Benton and the
GIobe" have no earthly claim TO the
character. Mr.. Tyler once betray-
cd the cause of democracy, and de-
serted Gen. Jackson. Does this con-
stituie him a Democrat, and give him
claims upon the Democracy! Mr..
Tyler waged an incessant val upon
the Republican party in Virginia, dur
ing the whole OF Mr.. Van Buren's
administration. Is this another proof
Of his attachment 10 Republican prin-
ciples? Mr.. Tyler attended the IIar-
risburg convention, and wept over
MI. Gays defect. Mr.. Clay's friends
touched by this evidence ofhis friend
ship and sympathy, promoted the
nomination and election Of John Ty-
Ter to the Vice Presidency: he repaid
their eXertions with treachery. The
Democracy may like his treason, but
they have no sympathy with the trail
tor. Neither is there wanting alum
dant proof to show that it was not
John Tyler's attachment 10 Demo-
cratic principles which induced him
TO betray his Wing allies and friends,
his late patrons and supporters. II
he loved the Democratic cause, he
would not cherish its worst enemies;
he would not lavish his smiles upon
Daniel Webster, repose his confidence
in John C. Spencer, and bestow his
fortering patronage upon the aPost-
ates and renegades Of all parties. The
Democracy want nothing 10 do with
such an Administration; and The only
favor which the country and the De-
mocracy owe TO John Tyler, is iorthe
exposure Of all the dishonest and
corrupt men who have shown them
selves such by being brought up to
support this Administration.--Globe.

Horrible Murder in N. JERSEY,

BY IN extra received from the Of
flee of the State Gazette, Trenton.
New Jersey, dated Wednesday. May
81, we have tie following particulars
of the murder of four persons in War
rem county, in that State.
HorribIc.- Murder of four persons
IN Warren on Nonady erening.
We learn by Mr.. George Crockett,
of Marksborough, in Warren, who
arrived in this city this morning. that
four persons were murdered on Mon,
day night, at Changswater, in War
ren county, about ten miles from Bel.
videre, neal the lIunierdon line. An
old man. a bachelor, named John
Parke, Il man of wealth. lived with
his brolher-in.law John Cashier, who
farmed Parke's place. On Tuesday
morning, Cashiers dead body was
found by the neighbors, on the ground
near a sink hole, with four cuts on
his head made ly a sharp instrument,
about an inch and a quarter broad. 1t
appears rs if he had been decoyed
from the house by some cry os dis
tress raised by the murderers. who af,
ter killing him proceeded 20 the house,
and entered the door by which he
came out.
On going TO the house, the neigh
bors discovered the dead body of
Parke in bed, and in another room
the dead bodies Of Cashiers wife and
child, "A little gill about two years
old. murdered in her mothers arms
aud with lis hands cIasped around
her mothers neck. Al appeared to
have been killed with the weapon
with which Cashier was killed. They
found Il boy in another bed Sc
riouslv wounded in the head, and I'M
conscious of what had happened. He
was unable ,oiaise, & his life remains
in great uncertainty. OF the whole
household of seven persons. only two
boys, sleeping in n back room, were
left unhurt BY the demons.
The object of the murderer or
m~urderers was undoubtedly TO get
Parke's money. $500 in specie,
and $1,000 in bills, were in his
trunk and chest, but the wretches did
not get it. Cashier had 5000, and it
is supposed $3.50, in his desk which
was taken.
When our informant came by the
place there was a great concourse Of
the people of the neighborhood at the
house, and a committee was appoint
ed to take charge Of the effects Of the
murdered persons.
A %coroner's inquest "a held on
Tuesday morning and n verdict rem
dered in accordance with the above
facts. The only person upon whom
suspicion rests. is a tall stout, man in
green spectacles, with black whiskers,
a stranger, unknown to every one,
who had been lingering in the neigh
borhood for three weeks, without any
known business, and was last seen a.
bout two miles from the house on the
evening of the murder. Two per-
sons started in pursuit of him yesier.
day morning. and it was supposed
they could overiake him, as the roads
are bad.

End of the World,

Dow JR., OF the New Sunday Mer-
curry. descanting on the Millerism de.
fusion. says:
"This terrestrial orb Of Tours, which
as yet exhibits no symptoms Of dis
ease or decline, will continue to roll
on its axis when we all shall be mould
ring in Dur sepulchres and the monu-
ments erected TO our memories shall
have fallen and become buried in the
dust of oblivion. Earth is constantly
undergoing a miraculous change, but it
is subject to no decay. The rose that
faded yesterday we can never behold
again, and still the same family of
flowers that now bloom around the
grave of cur kindred, will blossom
round the tombs of millions yet un-
born. The feet of future generations
will tread upon the dust of our bod.
les, and the great-grand-children Of
our children's children will pluck po-
sizes from the very bosom of their an
cestors. Nature produces as fast as
she destroys; and SO long as this con-
~servative principle is observed and
well carried out, you need be under
no apprehension, nv friends. of the
worlds making a burst of it. The
scvthe Of Old Time is just as keen and
no keener now than it was when he
moved down a cock sparrow in the
garden of Eden, by way Of expert
ment; and the sands in his glass have
never been clogged for a single mo.
ment-nor wont be till the earth
grows hoary, the sun loses its lus,re
with age, and the bald-pated moon

BLAcKGuARplsM--We learn from the
Carlisle Herald, that on Monday last,
whilst the volunteers Of the Borough
were marching by Dickerson College.
the students occupying the east wing
of the building most grossly insul,ed
them by a loud and vociferous veil
ing, taunts, and jeers, and other dis.
graceful conduct. This species OF
rowdyism was carried to such an ex-
tent whilst the. Light Infantry were
passing, as to be altogether insufera.
bic, and enc Of the members, unable
to brook the insult, loaded his musket
with ball cartridge and fired upon
the r%ufians. Fortunately the sho,
did nat take effect; but it way serve
as a caution to these blackguards
hereafter, that such conduct a theirs
on the occasion alluded to, will not
be tolerated with IMMUNITY.

state that none of the professors were

occurrence, or it would no, have Ia
