TIE NEW LlCENSE BILL.

The new License bill passed the Senate with
Amendments, on Tuesday Of last week, and on
"Wednesday the House whipped tie amend
mentS through under the gag and passed the
bill finally. Having been signed BY the Gov
ernor. il will, therefore, be the law Of the State
on and after the first dav Of October next. Tn
der this law, '"the Keeper Of any hotel, inn,
tavern. restaurant, eating-house, ogS.er-Eouse or
cellar, theatre or other places Of entertainment
or amusement" are expressly forbidden to sell
vinouS, SpirtuOGs, mat or brewed liquors under
severe penalties, and cannot under any circum-
stances receive license 10 do so. The right to
sell liquors is entirely taken out of their hands,
and given 10 men in other pursuits.
Persons desiring to sell liquors under this
law, must first advertise their petitions in at
least one newspaper published in the proper
county, setting forth on the testimony Of twelve
lawful citizens, that they are citizens of the
United States 1--WE believe that the law is not
positive in its requirements that they shall have
seen e'Sam"} oi temperate habits and good re-
pute for honesty they shall give bonds in the
sum of one thousand dollars :'conditioned for
the faithful observance Of all the laws ofthS
Commonwealth relating to busincss-U of vending
such liquors." The bond having been approv-
I'd by the Court and the license granted, then,
after having posted their licenses, framed un-
der glass. in their chief place of making sales,
be allowed TO sell liquors in quantities not
less than one quart, by paying three times the
present rates Of license annually but they
shall not, under any circumstances, 'voIuntari-
ly afford place or any other convenience or
inducement'' for drinking the same on their
premises under penalty Of fine and imprison-
ment. And two or more persons conSPiring to-
gether-the one TO sell the liquor and the others
to furnish place or conveniences for drinking
it, shall also be punished as before stated. Il
is the duty of every Constable TO make return at
every term of The sessions, under oath, OF eve
ry violation of the provisions of this Jaw; and
it is made the especial duty of the Judges to set,
that the return is faithfully made.' And if
any Constable is informed Of any person viola
ting the provisions of this act, and he fails to
make return. OF the same, she shall be deen-
ed guilty OF Inisdemeanor, = and upon convc-
ton shall he fined not exceeding iftv dollars
and imprisoned from one TO three months.
All licenses already granted by The courts
extending 10 period beyond the first of Ccto-
her next, are not affected by this act but all
lieensrs granted after this time shall extend on

I now and then observed among Catholics, tdu-
Gated like yourself, strange fashion of ascend
ing above the realities of life on the airy PIN
ions Of what you call faith. But such theories
do not advance professional nan-do not roof
house, or supply the necessities, much less
the elegancies, OF home. I thought on this
account that you would readily enter into my
views, but YOU refuse TO do 50. Well, viii
abandon my request. am too much devoted
to you to allow even a difference like this, seri-
Gus and important as it is, to weaken the love
which uritps our hearts. You ladies', and you
are the very first amongst them all, dear -,
contrire occasionally to introduce such exalted
notions into your brauQ1ul heads, that 10 re-
move them would be as easy as 10 attempt 10
chain the zephyrs, or rob the violet Of its per-
fume. Well, then. in conclusion, must in
form you that | have read your letter TO the
family. It would Be improper to deceive von
on the subject Of my parents opinions. Their
attachment to the PRESBYTERIAN faith is great
and the idea Of union with Catholic, even
with you, whom they know 50 we'll, and high
y respect, darkens their conntenances, aud dis
tresses me very much. They have, however,
renewed their consent, but they require Us TO
be married by PRESBYTERIAN clergyman. This,
dear -, agree with them 10 asking as
right, because it IS duty l owe them not to
distress their hearts nor do violence 70 their re-
lgous principles, by permitting The ministry Of
Catholic clergyman. As your church, dear
, does not consider such marriages Invalid,
you can have no objection to this arrangement,
which will unite Us never again 10 part in lif..
Understand, dearest, that ] am compelled TO
consider the ministry Of the Protestant clergy

FADELESS is A LOVING HEART.

Sunny eyes may lose their brightness,
Nmble feet forget their lighiness;
Pearly teeth may know decay,
Raven tresses turn to gray;
Cheeks be pale, and eyes be dim;
Faint the voice, and weak the limb:
But though youth and strength depart,
FadeIess is a loving heart.
Like the little mountain flower,
peeping forth in wintry hour,
When the summers breath is fed,
And the gaudier howret's dead;
Lo, when outward charms are gone
Brighter still doth blossom on.
Despite Times destroying dart.
The gentle, kindly, loving heart.
Wealth and talents will avail.
When on life'S rough sea we sail;
Yet, the wealth may melt like snow,
And the wit no longer glow.
But more smooth we'll find the sea,
And our course the fairer be,
If our pilot when start
Be kindly loving heart.
Y 2 in worldly wisdom old,
Ye who bow rhe knee to gold
Doth this earth as lovely seem
As it did in Ife's Young dream;
Ere the world had crusted Ger
Feelings good and pure before
Ere ye sold AT Mammon's mart
The best warnings of the heart
Grant me Heaven my earnest prayer,
Whether life Of ease or care
BE the one TO me assigned.
That each coming year may find
Loving thoughts and gentle words
Twined within my bosom chords,
And that age may but impart
Rippr freshness TO my heart.

Important Correction.

The Harrisburg Herald calls attention 10 an
important proviso in the new license bill that
was omitted 10 the FIRST publication of the law at
Harrisburg, aud generally throughout the State.
il was added TO the bill as an amedmrnt in the
Senate, and is in these words -
''ProUided further-That SO much OF any
act or acts ofAssembly. as require license from
a city or county Treasurer 10 authorize the snle
Of spir7tuous, ginous or malt liquors, be andMe
same IS hereby repealed"
This clause refers TO the licenses for restau-
rants, eating and ovster-housrs and goceries sell
ling by the quart, and Internationally rspeals
TreasuFer's licenses. As they are invariably,
we believe, granted about the first Of May, none
but tavern-keepers will be permitted TO sell un-
der the old law until October next, until their
licenses expire. Proprietors Of eating-houses,
groceries, &c, cannot procure license until Oc-
tober, as has generally been supposed and all
those taken out or 10 take effect, since the pas
sage OF the new bill, are necessarily null and
void.

Come not when the Heart is Sad.
By Sidney Dyer.


Oh come not when the heart is sad,
And tears suffnse the eyes,
Nor when the shades of evening rest
Upon the pensive skies:
Choose not dark and monrnful time
To visit graves where lie
The forms of those beloved most,
Whose spirits are on high:
Bat come when morning suus ate bright,
Amid the blush of spring,
Whrn nature all is cheerfulness-
Come when the birds all sing.
Oh. come not al the gloomy hour.
When nights dark shadows chill.
And cToaklag birds are heard around,
Or mournful whir-poor-wiI;
But when the lark is on the wing,
To greet the opening morn.
And beams Of golden sunlight dance
All DER the waving corn;
When all Is Joyous, peace, and light,
And SORROW thence IS driven
Oh. visit in an hour like this.

death OF a man named Magure. Mcguire and
another man were crossing the bridge at that

His companion ran and reached the ahntmPnt Of
the bridge in safety, but Alaguire, after escaping
the engine and tender, was struck about the
shoulders by the corner Of the baggage car. So
violent was the shock that several persons who
witnessed the irightiul scene saw that he was
raised several feet in the air, and thlown an in
credible distance. He was aWfuly shattered
about the shoulders and breast, and received
terrible injuries on the head in his fall upon the

which he was injured, he survived several hours.
