A THoUoHT.-A seed buried in the
earth for centuries may contain the power
of vitality and by the action of light and
heat, spring up and yield fruit in abund-
ance. A thought casually dropped, in the
corner of a letter, at the bottom of news

at last spring up to gladden. and refresh
thousands. A thought may be remember.

ever its destiny! Let not an iupure sem

Drop every where the good seeds OF truth,
and they will not be lost. Tho gentle
word of freproof, the judicious counsel, the
pleasant suggestion, the earnest advice,
will be recalled at some future day
Think right and scatter broadcast the
thought that will spring up into ercrlast-

Oar President.

He entered the White House with a
promise of Freedom to Kansas, on his lips,
and scheme for enslaving itinto his pock-
ct. He declared war against Circulating
Notes-and in six weeks was issuing them
himself. Before the ink was dry with
which he pledged ECONOMY" he had drai-
ned the treasury of Us last dollar. Before
the printers had finished stereotyping his
infexible determination never to borrow, he
was in Wall street soliciting loan He
congratulated the country on the final end
of slavery agitation-and he has been agi-
tating it, ever since. He ordered Paul
ding to stop the tillibusiers-and then re-
called him for doing it. Walker of Nicar-
ague he declared an outlaw-and rendered
the hospitalities of the White House.
Walker of Kansas he furnisheh with writ
ten instructions-and turned him out for
obeying them. In 1857 he took off the
heads of all Postmasters who could not
'hdrrah for Popular Sovereignty"-in
1853 he takes off the heads Of all who re-
peat the cry of 1857. He withheld troops
from Utah, where he proclaimed there was
war-in order to keep them in Kansas
where he insisted all was peace, He sells
forts al the West for tithe of their cost, in
order to buy sites for forts at the East at
ten times their value-his subordinates, in
both cases, pocketing the difference. He
is continually asking for new steam frigates
but he will not use those he has, either
on the coast of Africa or in the Gulf Of
Mexico. He sends out steamer, ostensi
bly, to catch the Styx-but with private
orders in the Captains desk, to do nothing
of the sort. Claiming to be one of the
most frugal of Presidents, he has spent
more than any his predecessors. Assum-
ing to be above party prejudices, he makes
partizanshlp the basis even of his invita-
tions to dinner. albany Journal

MowING MArcH-The Summit Beacon
says that Moving Match was held ON
the farm cf Tallman Beardsley in Coventry
about mile and half south of Akron on
the 9th inst. Four Moving Machines
were entered, viz:
Kirby's, manufactured at Buffalo, N. N;
Tolhurst's, manufactured at Cuyahoga
Falls; Aultman d Cos. manufactured at
Canton; Webster, Taplin & Cos. panu-
featured at Akron. ...-......-.-
The first field was of clover, not remark
ably heavy, but lodged and tangled badly,
IN spots where the growth was rank; an
other of lighter standing grass was also
tried. In the moving itself-the quality
of tho work-a spectator could discern
little difference between the three machines;
THAT of Mr.. Tolhurst, made at Cuyhoga
Falls, being incomplete was withdrawn
the advantage of one over the other was
therefore chiefly in construction, cost and
draught. - f
The Committee reported in favor of the
Akron Mower, adding the following re-
marks: ~
This machine is new one, upon which
several important practical improvements
have been made, among which may be
enumerated the following, viz
lst, The side draft has been entirely
avoided, and the toward draft thereby rem
dered much lighter and easier for the team.
End. Its construction is much easier and
less complicated, while its workmanship is
of the very first quality, rendering it less
liable to get out of repair, and more easily
kept in order.
Sd. it is very durable, being constructed
entirely of iron, except the tongue and seat /;
at the same time it is as light as is desir-
able. ri af Fa
4th, II has flexible tongue.
5th. And lastly, it's cheapest machine
by about one-third of any used IN the neigh
borhood, except Tolhufst's which is similar
in some respects, though it was not suf-
fciently perfected for the committee to
Judge Of its usefulness, all of which is re-
spectfulIy submitted.

The sabbath-breaker siienced.

A pious old man, once, in reasoning
with Sabbath-breaker, said, "Suppose,
now, had seven shillings, and suppose I
met man in a suffering condition, and
gave him six shilings freely out of the
seven. what would you say!" "Why, 1

satisfied with the six days God has given,
rob him of the seventh; what then do you
deserve?" The man was silenced.

r WAR ON DOUGLAS The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia North
american says:
"Allth attempts to patch up truce be-
tween the Administration and the Douglas
have resulted in confirming the origin
al separation, and widening the breach
And although the Union is not allowed
to be ecognized organ, still it reflects the
views of those in power whenever required
to do so, and is the recipient of all the pat
ronage the Administration can confer
For several days past, it has teemed with
reviews of the positions taken by Judg
Douglas in his Chicago speech, which, if
rot direct emanations from the White House
are known to reflect and reiterate senti-
ments which the President takes no pains to
conceal. Therefore, the whole force of ex-
ecutive power is to be thrown into the scale
against him, Notwithstanding the recent
overtures towards eonciliation which were
very mistakingly made by his frsends."

BURIED TO-DAY.


Buried TO day
When the soft, green buds are bursting out.
And up on the south wind comes the shout
oftheyiHage boys and girls at play,
In the summer evening gray,
Taken away. al
Sturdy of heart and stcut Of Limb, a-
From eyes that drew Ealt their Light from him.
And put low, low, underneath the clay,
In his spring-upon the spring to-day,
Passes to-day
all the pride Of young life begun,
All the hope of Life yet to run;
Who dares The question when One saith Nay
Mrrmur not! Only pray.
Enters to-day 4 80.

Home sweet home-0h, how love homel
No place Is SO dear as the place of my birth
Oh, sad were my lot were destined to roam,
Homeless and frienders Ger this wide earth
Fond scenes of my childhood i oft think Of them,
With emotions of pleasure and tender regret,
Where oft have sported in wild childish glee,
Moreover Dreamed of the cares that years would bege'
Yes love the bright fountains that sparkle and foa
Meath the wide spreading branches of the oak tree;
And e'en the delicate flowers that burst into bloom,
Round my fathers old cottage is cherished By me.
For no plaee like home to mortals given 9.' 81
No friends are so true as the friends of youth;
No spot SO perfect type Of fair heaven,
As that where dwelleth contentment and truth.
There JOYS are all holy and tvine round the heart;
Let the dazzling pleasures of earth fade away
The music grow silent in life's merry mart,
Yet pure warm affections there never decay.
Home, sweet home-oh, give me a home
A rural retreat apart from all strife,
with fond one to cheer as long as roam,
Ger the wearisome journey of life.

The London correspondent Of the New York
lCommercial. in bis last letter. alludes to the fnan
Icial condition Of Europe as follows:
| There 10 still q total absence Of any events of

and London, consequently maintain their upward
course. Gold continues 70 accumulate, and the
lnext weekly return from the Bank OF England
will show AN excess equal at least Ia 50 00V. 900
over any sum attained during the past five years
and half that is to say. since April. 1893. The
aggregate held by tho Bank If France. has for
some time been higher than Mt any previous period.
Imitation of some kind must. therefore. very
soon be witnessed. but there is nothing nj present
to indicate the particular firm in which il islikely
to manifest itself. the public stll disposed
to be extremely wary, regards enterprises
engineers contractors directors Foreign loans,
also. would find very limited favor. Mining spec
tulations have been for years hopelessly out oi
credit. and the may be ssid with respect to
land and colonization schemes. Steamship com
panies would not re looked nj for a moment, aud
joint stock banks in still worse odor. 1t seems
consequently. rs If there were possible outlet
for redundant cash. Yet il is as certain day
after night that. il the present accumulation Of
treasure continues, Us there is every probability it
will. the requisite channel will soon be found.
Perhaps new discovery in commerce, mechanics
or navigation may come To supply what is wanted
Af,er the panic Of ls47 the gold developments of
California and Australia served the purpose. and
it may he that the crisis Of 1867. is TO be follow
ed by some equally sudden and unexpected source
of excitement.
