Outward Bound.
By KATE CAMERON.


From the shining strand of childhood,
Ships went sailing, long ago,
Laden with the richest treasures
Which my heart can ever know.
Thoughts as pure as morning dew-drops,
Fancies like the rainbow gay,
Dreams as sweet as fairy music,
Hopes as blithe as birds in May.
But, though l have long been searching,
Youths lost treasures ne'er are found;
And send forth other ventures,
But they all are outward bound.
Outward-bound, across the ocean,
Which so many leagues is SPREAD
Not ripple on the water,
Marks the track Ger which they sped.
Vainly watch for their coming,
Vainly scan the swelling main,
And l fear those fairy vessels
Will not greet my gaze again.
When call there is no answer,
Echo only mocks the sound,
Not sail in the horizon,-
For they all were outward-bound.
None come back with golden cargoes,
None with tropic fruits appear,
From the islands where Life's noon-tide
Makes summer all the year,
Soon the shades of night will gather,
Soon Life's sky be overcast,
And then looking to the Future,
shall half forget The Past.
When my barque shall leave its moorings,
When /, too, am outward-bound,
In Eternity's calm haven,
My lost treasures shall be found

Your CHOICE for One Dollar...The New
Metallic Alloy.

"Oriede" is a new metallic alloy
extensively used in this country as q
substitute for gold. Stores have
sprung into existance all oyer the coun.
try for the sale of it, and newspapers
contain flaming advertisements of q
"full set of jewelry for only one dol.
lar, being the stock Of large man.
ufacturer," Tor merchanD "who is
obliged to dispose of his stock on &C.
count of the panic" 1t is a French
discovery, and is called by the French
gold oriede. 1t is manufactured to
large extent in Waterbury, Connecti-
cut. 1t bears a very close resembl.
ance to gold in color, density and fine
ness of grain SO close that it deceiVes
every one but practical dealers or ex-
perts. Its component parts consist of
pure copper, 100 parts ZINC or (prefer-
able) tin, II parts magnesia, 5 parts;
sal ammonia, 36 parts quicklime, l-s
parts; tartar OF commerce, 9parts are
mixed as follows: The copper is first
melted, when the magnesia, sal am.
monte, lime, and tartar in powder, are
added little by little; the crucible is
now briskly stirred for half an hour, so
as to mix thoroughly; and then the
zinc is added in small grains by throw
ing it on the surface and string it till
it is entirely fused the crucible is then
covered and the fusion maintained for
about thirty-fve minutes. The sur
| face is then skinned and the alloy is
ready for casting. The firmness Of the
grain Of this alloy gives to those OBJ
jects of art composed of it a delicasy
and purity of detail that cannot be
obtained from bronze. The alloy is
essentially ductile and malleable, and
can be cast, rolled, drawn, stamped,
chased, beaten into powder, orIeaxes,
or treated in any other way the artisan
may desire. The discovery of this
new alloy is really wonderful. and its
use will have a tendency to place with
in the reach of all, the useful, orna-
mental, and higher products of art.
An immense number and amount Of
articles are manufactured out of this
alloy and sold South and West, and
none but excellent judges can tell i
from gold.

OUR FLAG.

Having taken our neighbors OF the Nor
thumberland County Democrat to task for
volunteering in defence Of that arch tra,o.
Bennett, Of the New York Herald, they
attempt to reply by showing that they have
q much larger flag than our own. This kind
Of logic is about as pointed as the wit Of our
cotemporary. When O man comes into court
with bad case, and under suspicious circum.
stances, he necessarily requires strong evil
dence to sustain himself, whilst another
having clean record wants but little testi.
mony to show the business of his case. Now
our neighbors of the Democrat, knowing tho
feeling Of the people 10 regard to their course,
thought that big flag, like the mantle Of
charity" might be made "to cover o multi
tude Of SINS" and therefore FASTENED to run
out as big "a certificate Of character" as
possible:
AS some Of our friends may not know why
We did not sooner prepare our flag, it may
be proper!o say, we were snong tie fist &c
get material for that purpose, bat when de-
mand came suddenly for flannel shirts to equip
our volunteers who we're ready TO start, our
seamstress, who had come to make it, engaged
in that more important work. and we sent our
sewing machine along TO aid that purpose
The true colors of an editor are best shown
however, in the columns Of bis paper. The
exhibition of the stars and stripes is oil well
enough, but it is by no means sure Test o
patriotism. 1t requires something more than
q few dollars worth of bunting TO make q
true patriot in times like these.

We stated some weeks ago ip our German
paper, os matter OF news, that secession
paper in Phiadephia had been destroyed,
and that threats had been made against
Harrisburg paper, on account OF its alleged
sympathy for the South, and also that threats
OF q similar character had been made against
the Northumberland County Democrat, the
amer started in this place, for similar
'0a''a'. u0 - article would have ap.
peared 10 the american, hsu On, German
eompositor neglected to hond it over. III,
publishers OF the Democrat, in their last
paper, deny the charge, and say "tbeir Office
received no violence, nor has aoy been con.
templated against it, to their kno,ciedge."---
We have 20 desire TO stir up such unpleasant
"reminiscences at this time, when all should
be and are, apparently, united against the
Southern rebels and traitors, unless com.
pelsd to do so. Now. the fact is, that no
ole asserted that any violence had been com.
mitted upon the Democrat, but that thrar .
cloud and deep" were uttered against it, is o
matter we thought no one would question:
and if the publishers did not hear OF them
they we're, perhaps, the only individuals in
this place in that blissful state Of ignorance.
Bnt the evidence does not justify such q
conclusion.
Why,was the tone OF their paper so sud
denly changed, and why was it necessary TO
distribute and set over matter that had been
prepared for their paper that week? Wbe-
tber this change was the result o! honest
convictions, or the fear of punishment we
will leave for the conclusion of others. 1t
was, to say the least, most unfortunate oc-
currence, which, although it may be ntoned
for, by apparent repentance, will never be
forgotten.
lu regard to correcting the article in the
Harrisburg Telegraph, we think the gentle
man referred TO is sufficiently sbrewd 10 see
that he is less indebted to indiscreet friends
who would obtrnde upon him disagreeabe
notoriety, than to ourselves, u refusing tc
notice such anonymous illusions, especially
when 20 name was mentioned. He might
