A Base Falsehood.

The reckless and INSCRIPTIONS organ Of the
Republican party Of this county, charges JOHN
SCOTT Esq, the Democratic candidate for
Senator, with being in favor Of the repeal OF
he Tonnage Tax. This shameless ialsehood is
perpetraisd by that paper, IN order to pot Scott
on par with Wharton, who is opposed by his
own party on account Of his being tool Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. That dodga

Ma. MEyERs Is it true, Mr. Editor, that
c. W. ASHCOM, the Republican candidate for
the Legislature, voted against WTLMOT in
1891, when he was presented by the Republic
can party as their candidate for Governor!
is it true that ASHCOM and MULLlN
were nominated through the influence OF Fr.
Jordan, for the purpose Of keeping all the
nominations outside OF Bedford borough, at this
time, SO that his brother-in-law, Over, may
receive the nomination for the legislature in
1869 These are stated 70 be- facts, m our

u Il is hardly expected of Us hat We should
answer the above questions. We know only
this in regard to the first, viz that we have
been informed by gentleman who knows the
fact, that Mr.. Aschom did vote against WILL
MOT when he was the Republican candidate
for Governor three years ago. We know like
wise that JONATHAN FETGHTNER, the Re-
publican candidate for Commissioner, voted for
JAMES BUCHANAN, in 1856. Then we
have COT. WHARTON, who helped TO defeat
K0ONTZ in 1887. Surely, the Republicans
of Bedford county have good appetite for
swallowing fshy candidates. As to the bar
gain and sale by which Ashcom and MulIin
were nominated, that is IN every body's mouth
though the idea of dominating the broiher-in-
law in 1862, is laughed at by all parties.

RELIGIOUS. morning at st.
Johns Episcopal church, Portsmouth, the
Rev. Robert Gatewood preached an inter.
esting and impressive sermon, from the 10th
chapter of LIST Corinthians, and 18th verse.
"Let no temptation take hold on you,
but such as is human, and God is faithful,
who will not.suffer you to tempted above
that which you are able; but will make also
with temptation issue, that you may be able
to bear it," Mr.. G., has recently taken
charge of the above congregation, which,
since the departure of the beloved Jope,
has been without pastor, and we trust that
his labors may meet with the success they so
richly deserve.

person whom thou hast chosen to be my

comfortable and holy; and let me also be-
come great blessing and comfort unto him,
sharer in all his sorrows; meet h.lper in
all the accidents and changes 10 the world
make me amiable forever in his ewes, and
forever dear to him. Unite his heart to me
In the dearest love and holiness, and mine to
him IN allsweetness, charity and compliance.
Keep me from ungen tlaness, all discomfort
edness and anreasonableness OF passion and
humor; and make me humble and obedient,
useful and observant, that we may delight
in each other according to Thy blessed Word,
and both of US may rejoice in Thee, having
our portion in the love and service of God
forever. Amen.

WESLEY CHAPEL.-At this place of worship
an excellent discourse was delivered yesterday
forenoon, by its pastor, Rev. R. C. Smiley, from
the words, ''For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested that he might destroy the
works of the devil" LIST John, Sd chap, 9Th v
Qatter clause.)
The reverend gentleman began his discourse
by picturing man and his place of abode, earth,
as they appeared when fresh from the hands of
their Creator he then defined the works of
the devil, and exhibited the great change pro-
duced upon both by the same, and concluded
his sermon by shown 6, that as the Son of God
was manifested for that purpose, he would f.
lily overcome and destroy the works of the
devil. and that both man and earth would thus
be restored to their primitive innocence and
beauty The sermon was listened to with
marked attention, and abounded in many new
and striking arguments in favor of the doctrine
advanced.

This is the emily Company which has ever
undertaken to burlesqae the Operas render

and so successful have they been that the
fashion and elite OF the Metropolitan circles
have been in the habit of spending one even

next at 5s5, Broadway, to see the burlesque
Of the same. They come among us with
the reputation of being the most talented

RRMEMBER THE PooR.-Those who are
in prosperous circumstances know but little
of the misery and suffering OF the poor, al
though they may be next door neighbours
The bitter cold of this season has drawn
heavily upon the funds collected by the HUI
name Society, and they are new exhausted,
though the winter is not yet over. The
members of the Humane Society request US
to remind the charitably inclined of our
community, that the opportunity for doing
good still remains open; for many ofthe poor
and destitute appeal to them in the most
heartfelt tones of sorrow for assistance. Blu
they have given all they had.
1t has been suggested that if three bun.
dred ladies and gentlemen who are able,
will each contribdte the small mite of one
dollar piece, and send it to Messrs. r. Ii.
Chamberlain d Sons, or E. p. Taob Il Co..
for that purpose, that that fund would prove
quite sufficient to carry them through the
balance of the winter. Remember the
poor.

THE IRREPREssiBLB CoNFaIcr.-The recent
outrages perpetrated by John Brown at
Harper's Ferry, has had the effect of awak-
ening a feeling in favor of Home Manufac-
lures all through the South; we have seen
specimens OF home made cloth from Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama, and
thus far, the best of all is from the latter
state. We know gentleman in this city
who received suit of Homespun from Fay,
cite, Alabama, which for beauty of finish
surpasses anything we have yet seen. The
silk and wool was rails ed on the same farm
and there it was manufactured into cloth. -
1t is really handsome article, and reflects
much credit upon the lady who directed its
manufacture.

lEDEPENDENoE.-Be independent; you can
never be respectable in the eyes of the mil:
lion, neither can you fully esteem yourself
unless you free yourself from the shackles
imposed upon you by an interested few who
would gladly use you for their own purposes
ii they could. Friends and connections may
be dear to you, and their wishes ought to be
regarded to proper extent, but in respect
ing such wishes never lose your own ind vid-
uality. As far as we have read, with but
lew isolated exceptions, nothing truly great
was ever achieved that was not planned or
exected in solitary seclusion. The wise man
is never alone, for his thoughts always keep
him company, and they are the best COM
pany.

LIFE, FooD, HEALrH.-Long life may de.
pend, and often does depend, on what chill
dren do, or omit, at an early age. Among
the first qualifications which are looked for
at this period is the indulgence of the appe-
title for food. Here comes in rigid law of
Nature ltcannot be broken without con-
sequent suffering, nor repeatedly broken
without impairing, and perhaps destroying
the material frame. TO require of that del
icate machinery on which the action of life
depends that which it is not qualified to do,
and whichsit cannot do; to force it to do that
which is offensive to it and to make this
requisition habitually, is a sin against ma
tural law. Its punishments re well known.
The restless sleep, the heavy head,t many
sensations of aneasiness, the positive pain,
the disgusting remedies, are the punishments
which follow.
They are not all. Nature losses its
charms companions their interest duties
become irksone; the mind dislikes its la.
bors; penalties are incurred. These are
some of the fruits of momentary gratifica.
ton of the appetites, yet we know it is also
law of Nature that food shall be grateful.
1t is required to supply the daily waste, to
continue life. If there were not craving
want, we should take food as q mere neces-
sary duty. 1t is kindly made to be pleas
ure, and like every other pleasure, it is to
be used and abused. Thus, by ignorant or
willful pursuits of pleasure we violate law
which brings with its unavoidable punish
ment, not only the loss of a like pleasure for
time to come, but also pain and sutfe ring
from indispensable remedies. The sick are
objects of tenderness and pity, no doubt
but in some instances, perhaps, they rather
deserve to be punished. little, for they have
disregarded their own experience. AS to
the kinds of food Nature is not unreasonably
nice about this. That viii ch it complains Of
