TENDERNESS.

Let any one endeavor to recall the image
Of fond mother long since at rest in heaven
Her sweet smile and ever clear countenance
are brought wildly to recollection. So is
her voice; and blessed is that parent who is
endowed with pleasant utterance. What
is ii which lulls the infant to repose! 1t is
no array of mere words There is no charm
to the unaught one in letters, sylables and
sentences. 1t is TIE sound which strikes
the leue ear, that soothes and composes it
to sleep. A few notes however unskiltully
arranged, if uttered in a soft tone, are found
10 possess mage influence. Think we that
this influence is confined to the cradle! No,
it is diIfused through every age, and ceases
not while the child remains under the pa
rental roof Is the boy brewing rude in
manner and boisterous IN speech! know
mo instrument TO control these tendencies,
as the gentle tones OF "a mother. She who
speaks 10 her son harshly, does but give to
her conduct the sanction of her own exams
pie She pours oil upon the already raging
flame.

FRESH AIR.

Horace Mann has well said-''people,
who shudder at a flesh wound and a trio
kle of blood will continc their children
like convicts and compel them month
after month to breath quantities OF poison
1t would less impair the mental andphys-
ical constitution of our children, gradu-
ally to draw an ounce OF blood from
their veins, during the same length oftime
than to send themto breath, for six hours
in the day, the liteless and poisoned air,
of some of our school rooms. Let any
man, who votes for continuing children in
small rooms and keeping them on stag
nant air, try the experiment Of breathing
his own breath only four times over: and
if medical aid be not at hand, the chill
dren will neverbe endangered by his vote
afterwards"

Expense orthe War with Mexico.


According to the last statement of the
Secretary of the Treasury, the expendi-
lures for the army alone, for the three months
ending the 30th of June last, were S16,-
IL, 1894; while the whole expenses of Mr.
Folks administration, for the same time,
were 1tcenty-two Millions and hayof dollars
being equal to NINETY MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS YEAR. The debt which Mexico
owed us, at the time Mr.. Polk uncon-
stitutionally made war agaist her, was
about p MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. This
debt she acknowledged, and promised the
payment of, but, for want of means, could
not pay at the time; and because of her
poverty, and of her inability to pay on
the instant, Mr.. Polk waged his war a.
gainst her. We have been at war Is
months, and if we are to estimate the eX-
pense of each quarter, at the same rate
as that ending the 30th of June last, Mr..
Polk has expended in his drubbins pro-
cess of collecting y millions, the enor-
nous sum of SSO,S62,970, so that Mr..
Polk, even fine had succeeded, would
have lost to the country, by his expert
ment, no less sum than S7S ,362,97O,
and it certainly does not take one skilled
in figures to tell how long it will take
Mr.. Polk, to bankrupt the nation, by his
new tangled method Of collecting debts
"A method as alien to the brotherhood
Of Republics, as it is opposed to the let
ter and spirit Of our constitution.
Now, suppose the crops of Europe, for
the present season, should turn out to be
good ones, and the people in that quarter
should not need our provisions and bread
stuhs, now, we ask, will we be able to
meet the expenses Of the war! Not GER
tainly by impot dnticS; for under the opc-
ration of the Tariff of 1916, enough du-
ties, under the ordinary trade of the
country, would not be collected to meet
the usual expenditures ofthe government.
How then, would the necessary revenue
be obtained to meet the war expenditures!
Why, we shall, IN that event, be forced
to submit 10 DIRECT TAXATION, to
make up the deficiency OF some Eighty
Millions cf dollars per annum so that our
people may look out, if the war contin-
ues, to see hcnsclrcS groMldto The earth rih
direct tdrcS-to haze hordcs Of tar-go'icrers
micSttng Mcir homcS, and eating up their
Substance. Such visitors, and such vista
tons, will be made when agricultural
products will not sell, and when the far
mcrs ahd planters will be unprepared for
such cXactions. The evil we here de-
pict, arc such as appear as natural con-
sequences of a state Of war, under such
circumstances, and we beseech agricultu-
riaS, mechonits, and all others who labor,
to take such stadd as will convince Mr..
Polk and his administration, that the in
terests of the country, and the prosperity
of the industrial classes, are not to be
sacrificed with impunity, to crafty either
his udchastened ambition, or unrightcous

And in my musings now Mary,
My thoughts fly home to thee.
Pm sitting at my window now
Which looketh to the west,
But OH miss thy hand, Mary,
Which once in mine was prest.
The sun still sets the same, Mary,
And lights the western skies.
But oh! | miss the light, Mary,
OF Thy beloved eyes.
love to gaze upon it, Mary,
Just as We oft have done;
For often we have watched, Mary,
The setting Of the sun.
love to look at it, Mary,
And think of thee the while.
But oh! How much miss, Mary,
Thy gentle loving smile.
Bright tinted are the clouds, Mary
Where he repose doth seek,
But very much | miss, Mary,
The rose upon thy cheek
The sun will come again, Mary,
And will bring Joy to some,
But very much fear, Mary,
That thou wilt never come.

And when my eyes are closed, Mary,
My dreams shall be ofthee.

Reputation.
KRAWEN.

If you have earned good reputation
by virtuouS acts and honest deeds, let
that reputation be kept bright. If you
lie still upon the strength Of one or two
glorious achievements, you will lose the
honor you have gained, and at last rust
out. Poor and wretched is he who can
look back only on one bright spot in his
career, while darkness and Indifference
have settled like thick cloud upon his
life. Let one achievement over passion,
pride and error, lead to other glorious
Accomplishments. A really good man is
never stationary. The past is but incen-
tive to the future. He yet hopes to win
more laurcls: and perform more glorious
deeds. How true is the language Of
we forget who-but one who spoke the
words of truth
"The reputation
Ofvir,uous actions passed-if not kept up
BY an access and fresh supply ofnew ones,
For want of habitation and repair
Dissolve 10 heaps of RUM
There are Thousands who, if they had
died in early life, would have left behind
them an unsullied reputation and a glori-
Gus name.-They had built their hopes
of renown upon too feeble foundation,
or they We're carried away by ambition
and ruined. Had Arnold died before the
surrender of CORVALLIS, his name would
have shown brightly on the pages of his
tory, Had Aaron Burr been cut down
while he fell short OF Presidency by one
vote, who would not have cherished his
memory Had Cromwell fallen by the
side of John Hampden, would not the
bare mention Of his name send a thrill OF
pleasure through the bosom. Though
Cromwell erred through ambition and
power, he was not the worst tyrant who
sat upon England's throne.
Let your reputation be bright. Loose
not what you have gained by single
misdeed; but persevere in the path OF
virtue and honor. Post.

Sudien Death from Ercitcmcnt.- The Bus

Sudden Death from Excitement The Bus
falo Advertiser OF the 2S,h says;
Son Thursday last Miss Elizabeth r.,
daughter of Jos. B. Lippincott, of Norris
town, On. j. arrived at the Falls in COM
pany with some friends, and put up at the
Earle Hotel. 1t was her first visit and,
though in delicate health, her curiosity led
her TO look at the cataract in all its phases of
sublimity, even from behind the magnificent
sheet of the Horse Shoe. The excitement
and fatigue caused fatal hemorrhage of
the lungs, Of which she died on Friday even
inc. Thus she sunk into The yaceess realm
OF death away from home, yet receiving all
attention which medical skill or friendly
sympathy could mnister.--Slle stood bcn-
cath the awful exhibition of Omnipotence,
and heard the voice OF God speak in the
cataract's roar, and calling her home. From
beneath the wing of his power Oh earth her
soul fled to hide itself beneath the wing Of
his mercy in heaven"
