ing undergone any material change, free
passes, to which we suppose the Standard
alludes, were not necessary to buy us--and
SO the officers of the road probably thought,
for from its opening until 1854 we held
none at all, but paid our fare in all cases.
Since then we have had two OF three local
ones, some of which were never used, and
last year We had one from Harrisburg to
Pittsburgh, with which we made three trips
to Harrisburg and one to Millerstown. Our
bill for printing last year was $3.50. We
state these facts merely to show those who
see the Standard, that if its fling at potent
power was intended for US, it comes out
small potato.

naa-We have given most of the docu-
ments relating to Kansas heretofore, and
to-day add the testimony of Mr.. Stanton,
late Secretary of that Territory, who, like
others, went there full-blooded slavery
man, but could not shut his eyes to the
base frauds perpetrated by set of men
whom the administration at Washington so
strangely upholds. 1t seems to us that this
corroboratiye evidence of all yet appointed
to Office, ought to satisfy Mr.. Buchanan
that his course is wrong.

FALSE REPoRT.-A report that John
Kennedy of this place had failed was ex-
tensively circulated in Centre county du-
ring the past few weeks, no doubt with a
view of injuring his business. There is
no truth whatever in the story, and the
only wonder is that as Mr.. K. in nine cases
out of ten pays the hard stuff for his pur-
chases, especially pork, DC, such thing
should gain credencc. He has at the
present day as much specie in his vaults
as some banks, and challenges those who
have articles in which he deals to test his
capacity for paying

GROUND Hoo DAY-Accordin to the
old weather signs, if the ground hog came
out on Candlemas day and did not see his
shadow, it remained out, portending there
by that the winter was broken; but if the
sun shone and it saw its shadow, the ami
NAL returned to its hole, where it remained
for six weeks, for which period winter
weather worlld continue. Now whether
the winter IS broken or not is a mooted
question, for il was cloudy until nearly l2
o'clock, when the sun came out warm and
pleasant, but about two again clouded over
with sharp western wind.~ Some contend
that Mr.. Grounding appears in the middle
of the day, in which ease We may imagine
that he shook himself and returned to his
hole; while others allege the day prognos-
ticatos short winter. Our wishes are de-
cidedly with the latter.

, TEMPERANCE MEETING.-The Wash
ingtonians held their weekly meeting in the
Town Hall on Tuesday evening. The in
tcrest felt by the public in this movement
was manifested by the attendance of an
unusually large audience Of ladies and gen.
tlemen, who by their presence endcayered
to show those desirous Of reforming that
they wished them God speed in the noble
work. Addresses were delivered by Messrs
Warner, Stratford, DIR. Bower, Belford, and
j. \. Mckee, several Of whom however
weregrct to say were grossly and shameful
ly Uninterrupted by one man, though probably
aided and abetted by others so much so
that proceedings have been instituted
against him under the act relative to dis
turbing religious or other meetings. "For-
bearance" in this respect "has ceased to be
virtue" and all who hereafter visit the
hall on such occasions for the purpose of
violating the decencies and proprieties of
life, may expect similar treatment.

RE f. 4. Allen, Esq, whom many of
our readers win remember as an eloquent
sneaker at the Teachers Institute held
here last fall, paid our town temporary
visit on New Years day, and in letter to
the McKea Citizen, Of which he is editor,
thus writes:
"Lewistown, the place at which we are
writing, is town Of some 1000 Inhabitants,
situated on the Kishacoquillas and Juniata.
1t is very pretty town, the county seat OF
Mifiin county. We were here in September
last. assisting in an Institute, under the di-
rection of Co. Supt. Hawn, young man OF
zeal and true worth. His first Institute was
a triumph. lie has noble corps of Teach
ers. and they are doing good service this win
ter. The Teachers of the town have an asso-
citation which meets every Saturday A Nj.
We had the pleasure of meeting with few
of them.
"We took q stroll along the banks of the
Blue Juniata,' and wondered while passing
| along whether this was the spot where,
wild roved an Indian girl. bright Alfaretta.'
"Thers is one thing sure we found some
wild girls in this village, but they are fine
| Teachers. The schools of Lewistown are not
such as they ought to have. The people are
! opposed to tho co-education of the sexes, and
Notwithstanding their zeal in other things
they can never reasonably look for good re
suits as long as they adhere to system Sc
radically defective as this, and one which il
| SO at war with all our better feelings. 1t Is
certaialy contrary to the laws of our being
as to us, it is quite evident that it strikes al
the foundation of the true principles of edu
cation With large and well furnished
| school building. suitable for conyening the
| children of the town, suitably graded with
the males and females together, Lewistown
| would have system of schools of which she
| which in three years time would convince the
most skeptical on this point. We-trust the
Teachers will work reformation there"
Who are the wild girls referred to in the
above letter.

IN THE NIGHT.

All day list for voices ad
That do not cotne to me, -.a.
And vaihly think hear them
Along the evening sea-
They come not in the day time,
But every night it seems
That I can hear them speaking low
Around me, in my dreams.
All day think of faces,
And through the open door
/ look to see them. enter,
As in the days of yore -
They ceme not in the daytime,
But every night it seems
Af if I saw them smiling down
Upon me, in my dreams.
All day my soul remembers,
While fast before my eyes
The form that have loved so
In other days arise =
'Tis sorrow in the day time, p
Bat every night it seems f's3 3ei9-.
As if their souls were with me still,
And loved me in my dreams.

scaGoid Conversions.

The Fredericksburg Recorder has an
article on the extraordinary conversions
which murderers are wont to profess
before the day of execution arrives, and
which are duly paraded by the press
before the public. 1t says:
Snow we do not doubt the power of
God to convert the most hardened
wretch that. ever paid the penalty the
law affixed to his crime. Nor do we
mean to intimate that it is not the duty
of Christian minister to carry the til
dings Of salvation even into the gloomy
cell of the felen. Yet we are free to
confess that We have not the slightest
confidence in the conversion Of one in q
thousand of those who under the gal
lows, profess that they are resigning
mortality for glorious immortality be-
yond the grave. Aye, there is fear
full responsibility resting upon the pull
pit and tho press for giving publicity
to such scenes. What is the result of
it? Why, the ignorant are thereby en-
couraged to the commission of the most
atrocious crimes. because, if found out,
they are induced to believe that before
the day of execution, with the aid of a
minister, they can be prepared for an
entrance into Heaven"

Wordof Warning.

IF females were disciplined, trained
on the gospel plan, adorned in modes,
apparel, guided in life's path seldom Ii
ever would our ears be panied with heart
rending recitals of fallen virtue Mo
theirs suffer little ones to sport on de-
struction's brink, to carry Goals of fire
in their bosoms. In early infancy,
pride is fostered; they arc tipped off in
fine clothing, firt about in gay and
fashionable costume, trinkets and gew-
gaws; mingle with the giddy. attend
parties of pleasure-the dance, the
nightly concert and revel, and are gal
lanted by uuprincipled, and licentious
young men. These are stepping-stones
to disgrace and ruin. Can a man take
fire in his bosom and his clothes not be
burned? =?
Beware, l"lest thou mourn at the last
when thy flesh and thy soul are con.
sumed, and say, How have hated de-
struction, and my heart despiscd re-
proof"

The Rearded LndY.

The New Orleans Picayune gives the
following history of the Beareed Lady
She is French woman, it seems, and
being fallen in with, some years ago, BY
a shrewd, specuiating Yankee, was urg

under bis management, she did in Lon

attention. While there, an enterpris.

the name of Clofullia, as the story goes
actually fell in love with her, and pro-
posing to her, was accepted. and so she
became Madame Felicita Clofullia.
" it'll the Yankee as their man OF

and there opened hall for the purpose

they were not long in finding out thai
