FACTS AND FIGURES.

Hobart Seymore, in his interesting book,
entitled ssEvenings with the Jesuits,'' work
distinguished for its fairness, and which
groups together some impressive incidents
and many important facts, shows the aggres-
sive policy of the Romish Hierarchy, and its
corrupting tendencies.
He states that the yearly average for MUIR
ders in all ItaIy-in that land where theChurch
of Rome is supreme, and without rivals
one thousand nine hundred and sixty eight, SO
that every year there are left murdered in
cold blood more men, women and children
than often fall in the most blood stained bat
tie fields. And this in the land of converts,
and nunncries, and confessionals-in the land
where, of all else on the wide surface OF Gods
creation, we might expect the full and happy
development of all the restraints which the
Church of Rome imposes upon crime-in the
land where priests, and monks, and nuns eX-
ceed one hundred and twenty thousand.
VIM. Whitesides states that at Assist there
are twelve converts; at Folingo twelve for
monks and eight for nuns at Spoletto, twenty
two; at Terni, five; at Marni, seven for
monks, and five for nuns. 1t appears, too.
that at Perugia there are thirty-four for monks
and fifty for nuns. And yet it is in this very
district that the murders amount to one hun
dred and thirteen to the million of the popu-
lation while in Naples and Sicily, there are,
or rather were, few years ago, sixteen thou
sand four hundred and fifty FIVE monks, and
thirteen thousand nuns, the largest number in
any country in the world and there is also the
largest proportion of crime to be found in any
| one country on the whole surface of Gods
| creation! The following are the results in al
the several Roman Catholic countries, as con,
trasted with Protestant England:
Roman Catholic Ireland, 10 to the million
Belgium Is, France 81, Austria Sc, Bavaria 6S
| Sardinia 20, Lombardy 45, Tuscany Sc, the
Papal States 113, Sicily 90, and Naples ia te
| the million, whilst in Protestant England there
are but four murders to the million OF popula
ton!
| These facts and figures are instructive. They
show. derived as they are from official sources
| that converts and nunneries, and all such In
| stitutions of ROmanism have failed IN these
! countries where they have been tried unael
| the circumstances most favorable for their de
| yelopment; have failed wretchedly and SIG
| naily. And the argument, that we ought ts
| introduce into this country the lnstituliohs "
| Romanism, even in m odified form, as more
| efficient in repressing crime than tne Prihci
pIes and motives Of Protestant Cnrlstaahi'!' Il

Yet this unfortunate man, thus deluded from
his interest and his happiness, thus seduced
from the paths of innocence and peace, thus
confounded in the tolls that were deliberately
spread before him, and overwhelmed by the
mastering spirit and genius of another-this
man, thus ruined and undone and made to play
a subordinate part in this grand drama OF guilt
and treason, this man is to be called the prin-
cipal offender, while he, by whom he was thus
plunged in misery, is comparatively innocent,
a mere accessory! Is this rcason2 Isit law =
Is it humanity Sir, neither the human hears
nor the human understanding will bear per-
version so monstrous and absurd so shocking
to the souli revolving to reason! Let IA
ron Burr then not shrink from the high desti-
nation which he has courted; and having al
ready ruined Blennerhasset in fortune, char
acter and happiness forever, let him not at
tempt to finish the tragedy by thrusting that
ill-fated man between himself and punishment
ssUpon the whole, sir, reason declares Aaron
Burr the principal in this crime, and confirms
herein the sentence of the law /; and the gem
tleman, in saying that his offence is Of a deriv-
ative and accessorial nature, begs the ques-
tion, and draws his conclusions from what, in
stead of being conceded, is denied. 1t is clear
from what has been said, that Burr did not de-
rive his guilt from the men on the island, but
impaired his own guilt to them that he is not
an accessory, but principal and therefore,
that there il nothing in the objection which
demands record of their conviction, before
We shall 60 on with our proof against him."

THOUGHT-By Ella n.

The old adage, cas- quick as thought re-
verberates through the lapse of ages, and
strikes my mind as very appropriate one.
Thought travels even faster than the vivid
lightning. Now we thinking OF present
pleasure, friends or prospects, and anon remi
nescing the buried past-living over the happy
hours of childhood, when every face seemed
as smiling, and every heart as true as flowers
are beautiful; roaming the flowery dales or
clambering the rugged hills, gathering curios-
tiles from Natures ample cabinet and admi-
ring Natures exquisite charms; again enjoy
ing the society of friends who were dear as
happiness, but who have been snatched from
our embrace by holden fortune or times re-
sistless tide the next moment our wandering
inaginations are scanning the hidden future,
building castles in the air which are too apt to
be shaken down by the withering winds of ad-
versty, and but add another pang to stern re-
ality to think that hopes so bright were SO illu-
sive. Now we arc thinking of our own sunny
land, and anon roaming in some lonely glen or
crowded city of lands far across the ocean
wave. Now we are thinking of the pleasures,
sorrows, and changes of Earth, and anon the
mind descends to the 'sgulf of dark despair -
or scars on pinions of light to the happy land
far, far away, to that great day when every Sc
cret THOUGHT will be disclosed to an assembled
world. Would we direct our thoughts, as it is
in measure our privilege, to the subject of
Mathematics, the Natural Sciences, or the
more easy and pleasant one of Human Nature,
the salutary effect would doubtless be great.
1t was thought, aided by inventive genius and
an ardent desire to benefit their own and sue
ceeding generations, that made Linneus, VOL
taire, Euclid, Newton, Milton, Cowper, Wash
ington and Webster what they were. There
are still many wonders and secret charms on
the hill of science, which will require genius,
application, thought, to discover. 1t is by
thought we perform the every day duties of
life; in thought we spend our most useful and
happy hours; in the language of philoso-
pher, our greatest treasures are our thoughts /;
by thought we obtain an education, without
which life is dream, happiness phantom.

THE ROBINS REQUIEM to DEPARTING DAY
By MYRRHA MAY.


List hear ye not the mellow strains
Tremblingly rise from yon spray,
1t is the Robins requiem
To the calm departing day.
In tho lovely, early spring time,
When mild, soft winds are signing;
When the sun sinks in beds of gold,
And days so sweetly dying;
Ere the Silly twilight decpens,
And the darkness beauty mars,
And the dews come down as death-damps,
From the silent weeping stars;
We hear him sweetly earoling
His praises forth at even,
To the great giver of all good,
Who dwells high up in Heaven.
Then why, oh, Man. art thou so mute;
Say, why withhold thy praise
Who made thee, mortal, what thou art,
Who gives thee length of days?

PEARLS AT HARRIsBURG.-The editor of one

number of pearls in muscles picked up in Pax

PoRK.-sA fat hog is the very quintessence
of scrofula and carbenic acid gas and he who
eats it, must not expect thereby to build up q
sound physical organism. While it con-
tributes heat, there is not twentieth part OF
it nitrogen, the base of muscle"
This is sound practical truth. Fat pork was
never designed for human food it is material
for breath, and nothing more; see Liebig and
other organic chemists and psychologists; it
makes no red meat or muscle the prize fighter
is not allowed to eat it all that is not con-
sumed by the lungs, remains to clog the body
with fat.

The editor expresses his strong attachment to
the American party, but adds:
s.But are sure it can never win either re-
spect or victory so long as it is controlled by a
few log-rollers, whose only object is to spread
difficulty in the way of success. For our part
we would sacrifice much-but cannot surren-
der principle-we dare not ignore right-We
must not seek the elevation of men TO Office
merely because they call themselves Ameri-
cans, who lacking the proper qualification
mnst bring disgrace to our cause and earn the
whitening contempt Of the world"

School Exhibition at Newton Falls.

Messrs. Editors Having been one of a large
audience, who attended the School Exhibition
at Newton Falls last Friday evening, l deem it
due to the teacher, Miss Louisa Townsend, and
her pupils. as we'll as others, who kindly partic-
ipsted in the exercises Of the evening. that the
publicity Of q passing notice in your Journal,
should at least be awarded them. Although the
weather was very Indictment, it is estimated that
nearly one thousand persons were in attendance,
The programme was carefully arranged, the
pieces we'll chosen, and the several parts sus-
tanned throughout, in a manner thst reflects
honor upon the teacher and pupils, and would
have done no discredit to schools of much higher
pretensions. At the close of the exercises, there
was a presentation of q large, and elegantly
bound Bible. by one of the young ladies, in be-
half of the School. to their much loved teacher,
accompanied bya very neat and pertinent ad-
dress. The reply, although evidently impromp-
u. and made under the embarrassment of a Joy
ful surprise. was very happily expressed. In the
manifestation of popular regard. which this ex.
hibition has called forth. it is apparent that good
teachers. and good schools will be sustained by
the publie-and the knowledge of such appro-
baton, viii serve to stimulate both teacher and
pupils. to q greater effort, if possible, in the flu
ture. and lead to greater proficiency and more
enduring success. OBsERvIR.
