A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.

The moon looks calmly down when man is dying,
The earth still holds her sway;
Flowers breathe their perfume. and the winds keep
sighing
EHught seems to pause or stay.
Clasp thy hands meekly over the still
breast-they have no more work TO do;
close the weary eyes-they have no more
tears to shed; part the damp locks
there's no more pain 10 bear. Closed is
the ear alike to loves kind voices, and
calumny's whispers.
Oh, if in that still heart you have
ruthlessly planted thorn; if from that
pleading eye you have carelessly turned;
if your loving glance, and kindly word,
and clasping hand, have come-all too
late-then God forgive you! No frown
gathers on the marble brow as you gaze
no scorn curls the chiseled lip-no
flush of wounded feeling mounts TO the
blue veined temples.
God forgive you! for your feet too
must shrink appalled, from deaths colo
riVer-your faltering tongue asks, Car
this be deaih2' Your fading eye linger:
lovingly on the sunny earth; your clam

pressure.
Oh, rapacious grave! yet another vic

CAPITAL SERMoN.-A writer in the
Sierra (Cal.) Citizen, under the title of
Young Men and Tree Frogs" gives a
better sermon, better lecture on mo-
rality, and better essay on mental phi
losophy, all in a few lines, than are
sometimes found in as many volumes Of
standard authors:
The tree frog acquires the color of
whatever it adheres to for a short time;
if it is found on the oak, it will bear the
color of that tree; if on the sycamore, or
cypress, it will be a whitish brown; and
when it is found on the growing corn, it
is sure to be green. Just so it is with
young men. their companions tell US
what their character is; if they associate
with the vulgar, the licentious and the
profane, then their hearts are already
stained with their guilt and shame. and
they will themselves become like vicious.
The study of bad books, or the love of
wicked companions, is the broadest and
most certain road 10 ruin that Young men
can travel, and a few we'll directed les
sons in either will lead them on step by

moral and physical laws show how ian

of every kind especially in youth. How
dangerous it is to gaze on picture or
scene that pollutes. the imagination or
blunts the moral perceptions. or has a
tendency 10 weaken sense OF our duty

RULES OF ETIQUETTE IN WAsHIsoroS.
The Washington correspondent of the
ST. Louis Republican thus alludes TO a
grave question of etiquette, that has
lately arisen in Washington. it says:
"Another grave topic has been raised
by the refusal of Lady Napier to pay
the first call on the wives of Senators.
who claim this honor on the ground
that their husbands of the Upper House
are the delegated authority of the States
This has been yexed question of eli
queite here for many years, and such
excitement now prevails that it is even
said that TWO Senator's consorts, to whom
the homage of the first call had not been
paid, were so incensed when her lady
ship invited them to her recent ball, that
they drove to the Embassy, and when
the door was opened, Mrea0 their cards
in on TIE floor. Wars have arisen from
less triiing causes. and it is to be hoped
that this delicate question can be ami
cably arranged. Some have nsughIily
proposed, that, if Brother Bernhisel has
to vacate his seat in the House, he shall
be appointed-'Master OF Ceremonies,
having had practical experience in recon
CLING the fair. sex"

ANOTHER RUMORED POISONING
MYSTERY.

The inhabitants of"lrishtown," on the
other side Of the river, are greatly sx-
cited about the mysterious death Of
woman whose husband is an employee at
the Cleveland & Mahoning Rsilroad.-
From what We can learn, the womaa
and her husband have not lived on good
terms with each other for some time, and
he was once turned out of the house by
the woman and her friends. Last week
he brought home quarter of beef which
he requested his wife 10 salt. On asking,
in the evening, If the beef had heen salt.
ed, female relative Of his wife told him
il was none of his business. High words
followed, when the man, thinking two
women were more than match for one
man, left the house and did not return
again.
On Friday evening the wife suddenly
died, it is alleged by poison administered
by herself or others. Her relatives and
friends it is alleged, first "waked" the
body. then carried off every article os
wearing apparel and furniture, and con.
cluded by stripping the infant child and
leaving it in the cradle. The woman
was buried on Saturday, and the husband
was forbidden 10 be presen. at the fuuoIs
al. We learn that he has taken posses
sion Of the child.
In consequence Of the late hour Of re-
ceiving the above information, we are
unable to give further PARTICULARS

THE GREAT END OF SOCIETY.

Pr perty continually tends 10 become a
more vivid idea than right. In the s;rug-
gle for private accumulation, the worth
of every human being is overlooked
The Importance of every mans progress
is forgotten. We must contend for this
great idea. They who hold it must
spread il around them. The truth must
be sounded in the ears of men, that the
grand end of society is to place within
the reach Of all its members the means
Of improvement, of elevation, cf the true
happiness of man. There is higher
duty than to build almshouses for the
poor; and that is, to save men from be.
ing degraded to the blighiing Influenced
of an aims house. Man has right to
something more than bread to keep him
from starving. He has right to the
aids, and encouragements and culture,
by which he may fulfil the destiny of a
man; and until society is brought 10 rec,
ognize and reverence this, it will contin.
ue 10 CLEAN under its present miseries.-

A RELIC OF THE PAST.

We are indebted to DIR. George W. |
Brooke, of Ellsworth, for the original of
the following election ticket, which we
believe was voted in 1881:
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Representatives. Jared P. Kirkland,
Calvin Pease.
SherT.-George Mygatt.
Commissioner.-Ru Beman.
Treasurer.--Martin Bentley.
AsSesor.-Rivesirus Bidwell
Recorder.-Lyman Potter.
The ticket was discovered by the Doc.
tor, recently, while remodeling his
dwelling, pasted on the inside of the
weatherboarding. 1t had doubtless been
placed there before the house was lathed
and plastered, for a period of twenty
seven years. 1t isrery dingy and brown,
quaint in appearance, and somewhat mu'
tilated, as though rateaten.
Who will furnish US with history Of
this ticket, and the men whose names
are apon it?- Youngstown Reg.

Merchants Bank of this city. His his

CHEAP TRAVELLING.

Some time ago gentlemen drove up
to tavern in a gig, and asked the land
lord if he could be accommodated for the
night. Being answered in The affirma-
tive, he took up his quarters. telling the
landlord that "he need not give his horse
anything, as he had plenty of oats in his
gig" In the morning he politely asked
for his bill, when the landlord (who had
caught such larks in his trap before) pre-.
senied him the following bill.

correct, we publish it for the benefit Of

be the interest in cents for six days-the
