FRIDAY, DEC. ii. 1855.
Something for the New Year,

We have been requested to say to our
readers-aud let each one tell a neishbo
that the instructions issued by the
Post Master General in relation to the
prepayment of all letters by stamps, takes
effect the lst of January, 1856 Absolute
prepayment by "stamps or stamped enve-
iopes" is required on all letters to places
within the United States, after this month.
Great care should be taken, as well in pre-
paying the proper amount on letters above
the weight of half an ounce, as to place
stamps on single letters before dropping
them in the Office, otherwise the Post Mas
ter is not authorized to send them.
The Post Master General intends to
carry the provisions of the law into effect,
and calls upon the Post Masters to provide
themselves with stamps and stamped enve-
lopes. 1t is not intended that Post Masters
shall affix the stamps, but to keep them on
hand, SO that all persons having occasion
to use, may readily obtain them.
Whether agreeable or not, this is the
rule, and must be regarded

The Beauty Of Life.

Truly the ligh, is and pleasant thing it is
the eyes TO behold the sun kline SOLOMON.
Life is beautiful. Its duties
Cluster round each passing day;
When their sweet and solemn voices
Warn 10 work, 10 watch, 10 pray.
They alone such blessings forfeit,
Who through sloth their spirits cheat,
Or, in selfish stupor sitting,
See the rust their armor eat.
Life is beautiful. Affections
Thrill with Joy its golden string.
In its open blossoms nestle,
Birdlike mid its branches sing;
Smiling, rock its cradle slumberS,
Guard with pride its youthful bloom,
Fondly kiss its snow-white temples,
Dew the turf that decks its tomb.
Life is beautiful, with promise
OF crown that can not fade
Life is fearful, with a promise
OF an everlasting shade.
May no thoughtless worldling scorn it,
Wandering wide in folly's maze;
Duty, love and hope adorn it,
Let the latest breath be praise.

distressing results are occasioned by thu
accidental employment of poisons and i
occurred to US that we might possibly d.
service to some Of our readers presenting

The Scientific American says, the past
year We have known the spinal marrow of
an OK or COW, applied by three different
persons with the most satisfactory results,
in relieving the pain and securing speedy
cures of their felons. This, We are conf.
dent, will be very useful information to
many persons. The spinal marrow should
be applied fresh every four hours for two
days.

SICKNESS IN OHIo.-Several parts Of
Ohio are said to be afflicted with sickness
unparalleled in the history of the State. II
is not confined to particular localities, but
appears to be general on the hills as well
as in the valleys, in towns as well as in
the country. In central Ohio, where the
chills were never before known, they have
been shaking the people most cordially.

The Physical Struggle, between
Liberty and Slavery, begun!

Kansas is the theatre Of physical war.
Hostilities between the Democratic princi-
pie, and the aristoeratic element Of Slave
labor society, have transcribed debate, and
the contest Of Politics, and come at las.
where it was inevitable that they must
come-to arbitrament Of the rife and the
revolver. The free soil settlers Of Kansas,
and the Missouri Propagandists Of Slavery
are confronted in actual battle.
The world will take notice tha. this
war on the part Of the Free State combat
ants, is one of defence The Missourians
are the aggressors. They were ipcursion-
ists-usurpers Of government-subverters
of lawful authority-and sheer free-boot-
ers upon the politics and the right Of
free people.
WhiN true men throughout the world,
will freely give their sympathy to the men
Of Kansas, and their justification too of
any, the EXTREMIST vindication BY them of
their rights, is there not great probability
that the feeling Of forbearance or of res
pect even, for the alleged rights of Slavery
in this Union, will undergo change? Can
limits be put to physical strife once in-
augurated in the United States, between
Freedom and Slavery? II Slavery ap-
peals to the rife, would it be contrary to
Gods providence aad the course of Justice,
if she perished by the rife?
The crowning dishonor of our Federal
Administration is at hand, if it has in
structed Gov. Shannon to sustain the Mis-
souri, rufians. This tool has called out the
militia, to fight the Free Soilers. What
ever be the wording of his proclamation,
it is call exclusive to the lawless bullies
of the Missouri and Askansas frontiers, to
shoot, stab, rob, and burn the inhabitants
of Kansas, opposed to the establishment
within their limits, of human bondage.
The Federal Republican Government ap-
proves Of, and will covertly, perhaps OPEN
IL, sustain Gov. Shannon in his wicked
administration of his official trust.
We wholly mistake the temper of tho
North, if it will behold unmoved this
struggle in Kansas. If Freedom be sore
pressed there, and calls upon freemen for
help, the manhood and generosity of New
England and the Middle States, will have
died out, if strong arms do not gather
about her, enough not only to arrest tho
tide of battle, bat to turn it. But We in
woke the spirit Of Wisdom, to avert for
ever the arbitrament of force between
Freedom and Slayery.-Bradford Arous.

IRISH KNOW NoTHINGs.-A Know
Nothing meeting was held in Frankfort,
Ken, on the 18th inst, at which C. D.
O'Sullivan, Esq, native of Ireland, but
friend to the American cause, made .
short and eloquent speech, in which he
insisted upon the principles of the justice
Of the American party. In ireland, he
said, he had struggled for the right of
Irishmen to govern their own country.
1t was for tina. O'Brien and Mitchell
and all the other Irish patriots had con-
tended; and he should feel himself an in
crate and hypocrite if he should deny in
America what he had struggled for in
Ireland-the right of the native sons Of
every country to rule their own land.
Ireland for the Irish" had been the mot
to Of all the Irish patriots at home-"A-
merica for the Americans" ought to be
their motto here.

Pennsylvania Telegraph.

This journal, advertised in another col
umn, We think will supply the want, long
felt, of thorough State Newspaper at the
Seat of Government. Col. MCLURE is
one of the most energetic business men,
and able and popular editors of the day,
and will we suppose devote himself to the
work exclusively. Of Senator SELLERS
ability as a writer, we know nothing, but
if be writes as well as he runs, he'll do.
The Company has ample means to carry
out their great undertaking. The price to
clubs (under the advance SYSTEM as not
half what similar papers have been sent
out for heretofore The Telegraph should
start with 100 or 200 subscribers at the
Lewisburg Post Office.
A LEssoN.-It will be remembered that
by a "fusion" of Softs, Hards and "Liquor
fellers" in New York State, Samuel l..
Selden had about 10000 maj. over Com
stock (Am. for Judge of the Supreme
Court of that State The State Board of
Canvassers, however, We see it stated, have
declared Comstock elected, in consequence
of incorrect returns In New York county,
where Selden had very large majority,
his whole vote was returned far Samuel s.
Selden instead of L. Now whether the
L. was mistaken for an s., or whether the
Clerks were so much opposed to the Liquor
Law that they repudiated the l.. by occas-
ion of ouer-O- bodybuilding, or otherwise,
it defeated him. Samuel l.. Sheldon also
had some votes intended doubtless for
Samuel l.. Selden. So that, although the
three "Samucls" together had more than
George F. Comstock, yet Sam COmstock
is 5000 to 10000 ahead of any one of
'em, and the whole "SAM" Ticket is
counted Gin"
