Good AmeriCaniSn.

DANIEL WALDO, a Congregational
clergyman, of New York State, has
been elected Chaplain to the House
at Washington. He is 81 years old.
He fought in the American Reyolu.
ton to secure the liberties we now
enjoy as a nation, and for seventy
years past has preached the Gospel OF
peace. In youthful vigor warm, he
barred his breast to the weapons of
his country's foes in ripe old age,
he tremblingly implores the guidance
Of Almighty God in the councils of
the nation! A venerable man indeed
linking the days of '76 with SO by
a living actor-and a fit character to
inaugurate the REPUBLICAN movement
with which he sympathizes and which
selected him as Chaplain.
ROBERT l.. MORRIS, of Pottsville,
the new Postmaster for Congress, is
q grandson Of Robert Morris, the Fl
nancier of the Revolution. Robert
Norris died insolvent, yet his services
were as essential in his department as
were those of Washington in the field.
A praise-worthy choice.

The Fruit.

We see different accounts, and hear
different opinions expressed, as to the
effect Of the present extremely cold
season upon fruit buds, and especially
upon peaches. The most prevalent
opinion appears to be that these are
KILLED and if so, they are not to be
expected anywhere in the Union, as
the cold has been everywhere severe,
and as dangerous to the more tender
peach bud Of the South as to the har-
der of the North. If this prove to
be true, "Our folks" will all do well to
Keep their supplies of peaches-whe-
'her in cans, preserved, or dried-for
next years use as well as this.

Gods Blessing Oh Them.
BY CHARLES wILTo n.

Gods blessing on them those old saints
Who battled hard and long,
Who cleft in twain a stubborn chain,
And conquered Might and Wrong!
o Time revere their sancity,
Nor let their glory cease,
For by mortal victory
They sealed immortal peace.
Gods blessing on them-those stout hearts
In these advancing days,
Who seek to guide the Progress stride
From Errors countless ways!
o be their track track of light,
The onward march of man,
The wise TO shape our steps Alright
The good TO lead The van
Gods blessing on them-one and all,
OF every rank and cline,
Who strive to aid the stern crusade
Against the growth Of Crime,
o be their names a rallying cry
For ages yet TO come,
A word whose echo shall not die
Till natures self be dumb.

Popular Song selected for the Chronicle.
- do they Miss me at Home ! -


Do they miss me at home, DO they miss mel
'Twould be an assurance most dear,
To know at this moment some loved one
Was saying, II wish he was herel"
To feel that the group al the fire side
We're thinking Of the as | roam
Oh, yes! t would he joy beyond measure
To know that they missed me at home!
Oh, yes 'twoull be joy beyond measure,
To know that they missed me at homei
When twilight approaches, the season
That ever was sacred to song,
Does some one repeat my name over,
And sigh that tarry so long'
And is there chord in the music
That's missed when my voice is away?
Aud II chord in each dear heart that maketh
Regret at nay wearisome stay,
And chord in each dear heart that make,h
Regret at my wearsome way'
Do they place me a chair at the table,
When evenings home pleasures are nigh,
And lamps are lit bright in the parlor,
And stars in the calm azure sky.
And when the good nights are repeated,
And each lays him down to sweet sleep,
Do they think Of the absent. and watt me
whispered good night Ger the deepi
Do they think Of the absent, and waft me
whispered "good night" DER the deep!
Do they miss me at home-do they miss me,
At morning. at noon, and at night,
And fingers one gloomy shade round them
That only my presence can light,
Are joys less invtingly welcomed,
Are pleasures les hailed than before,
Because one is missed from the circle,
Because am ,,o"
Because one is missed from the circle,
Because am with them morei

Good Sense versus Sentimentalism

/ The Editress of the "Pittsburg Visitor" !"
Mrs. Swisshelm, makes the following re-
marks on a recently published love story ::
"All that stuff about woman's love has
been said over and over again hundred
thousand times, to the great detriment of
the best interests of humanity. There is
no kind of necessity for using the press to
persuade silly girls that it is very roman
tic and womanly to love scoundrel-to
leave her affections ungarded by reason or
experience, and drift helplcssly into sin,
shame and despair, as an evidence of her
unsuspecting womanhood.
"It is not true that woman's affection.
are any stronger or more durable than
mans. We think the opposite is the case,
and that two-thirds of all the woman who
pine away or die of love, do SO for the
want of something better to do. Every
thing calculated to make love-sickness
feminine requirement is great injury
but to strew the path of the suicide with
the flowers of poesy and romance, is in
high degree reprehensible.
"Ihe best motto to guard young girls
through the mazes of love is, 'Do right
and trust in God A young girl who has
done no wrong, has little cause to mourn
over the fckleness Of pretended lover.
Better he should change his mind before
than after marriage"
Mrs. Swisshelm writes like clever, SEN
sible woman.

1t is proven, beyond all possibility of
successful denial, that the laws made for
the Territory of Kansas, were made by an

der Rullians; but We can not resist the
opportunity here offered, to again remind
our readers of the real character of the
laws which the President will enforce with
"the whole power of the country" We
quote few sections from
ANA CT To PUNISH OFFENCES AGAINST
SLAVE PROPERTY.
Sec. 4. If any person shall entice, de-
coy or carry out Of Kansas, any slave be-
! longing to another, with the intent to
| deprive the owner thorsof Of such slave,
he shall suffer DEATH, or be imprisoned
at hard labor for not less than ten years.
Sec. D. If any person shall assist in
enticing, &c, as above1 shall suffer
DEATH, or be imprisoned at hard labor
for not less than ten years.
Sec. s. If any person in the territory
shall aid or harbor any escaped slave from
another State, x such
person shall be punished in like manner
as if such slave had escaped from his
master in the territory
Sec. II. If any person print, write, in
troduce into, publish or circulate, Or cause
to be brought into, printed, written, pub
lished or circulated, or knowingly aid or
assist in bringing into, printing, publish

a disaffection among the slaves of this
territory, lie shall be punished Iy imprison-

print, publish, write, circulate, or cause to
be introduced into the territory, any book,

sons to hold slaves in this territory, SUCH
PERSON SHALL BE DEEMED GULL
TY OF FELONY, AND PUNISHED
BY IMPRISONMENT AT HARD LA
BOR FOR 4 TERN NOT LESS THAN
TWO YEARS.
We submit, if laws like these, enacted
under the circumstances that we have re-
lated, are to be enforced by the Army and
and Navy of the Union, that the efforts of
the Nulliiers to overthrow the Govern
ment, will not be long resisted in the
North, where SO much has been sacrificed
that the Union might be preserved.

DANCING.-I long resisted all solicita-
tions to this enjoyment, but at last allow.
ed myself to be overcome. l grew pas.
sionately fond of it. And now l lost the
spirit of subordination, did not love work,
imbibed a spirit of idleness, and in short
drank in all the -sickening effluvia
of pleasure. Dancing and company took
the place Of reading and study; the au-
.hority Of my parents was feared but not
respected, and few serious impressions
could prevail in mind imbued with friv-
olity. Yet l entered no disreputable as
sembly, and in no case kept improper COM
pany. Nevertheless, dancing was to me a
pervertiDg influence, an unmixed moral
evil. l consider it branch of :hat world
ly education which leads from heaven to
earth, from things spiritual to things sem
sual, and from God to Satan. Let them
plead for it who will, know it to be evil
and only evil "No man in his senses
will Dance" said Cicero, a heather.
Shame, then, on those Christians who ad-
vocate a cause BY which many sons have
become prohigate, and many daughters
have been ruined.-Dr. A. Clarke.
THE TRUE ELEMENTS OF REFoRMER.
1t becomes the Christian to cherish
hopeful views of his age aud race. If he
desponds, he will become inactive if he
despairs, he will become fanatical or in
sane. No man can benefit his cotempora-
ries by perpetual fault-fnding. The world
was never made better by railing at it. 1t
seldom grows wiser from the demonstration
of its errors. The wisdom of the serpent
and the harmlessness Of the dove are pre-
scribed as true clements of a reformer
A Jew was never converted by forcing him
to eat swine's flesh. The world can not
be reformed by denunciation. Some men
think to break the hard hearts of old
transgressors, as Hannibal did the rocky
barriers of the Alps, by pouring vinegar
on them; but it is very certain that the
man whose temper or theology has under.
gone the acetous fermentation, will rather
rouse the Indignation of his hearers than
soften them to penitence by his preaching.

had herself descended in the WE'LL where she
caught the drowning child by the arm and
held him out of the wale.. Another child,
"four aud hall years old, went into the
house, emptied the water out Of the pail,
hooked il on the pole, and lowered il by the
sweep which was nearly heavy enough to
raise pail of water. This proving of no use,
the mother thought she must either drop the
child or drown herself; but making desper-
ate effort, she scimbed up the slippery stones
until she was near the top, and raised him
