Re not Cast Down.


Be not cast down, thou weary one of earth,
Though fortune frown upon thy lowly birth,
And troubles In the coming distance rise
For all we know they may be angels in dis
guise.
Be not cast down, though evil-minded ones
Assail thy name with falsehood's slandering
tongue
The wretch but proves how little he's to do
In thus forgetting self by minding you.
Be not cast down, if some should smile as
sent,
To all their cruel mocking words but be
content
To know there is coming Judgment day;
When God will judge all that man may say.
Be not cast down if but noble be your aim
You may labor years for knowledge, yet are
al. your efforts vain,
If Ib sunshines there to cheer you along your
way,
And no hope Of coming happiness your labor
to repay.
Be not cast down, but yet outride the STORM
There never was a night but that it bad itG
morn,
And in that heavenly home, away beyond
the stars,
IT'S the noblest brow though pure is scanned
with scars.
Be not cast down, though fear oppress thy
heart,
Till tears of blood seem from its depths to
start:
Whatever fate be thine, for consolation look
Earth knows no sorrow but heaven can re-
move.
Mrs. EMMA BELL.

number, we commence Volume Seven of
The ANeghanian. Upon the occasion of en-
tering on a new newspaporial year, it is
usually the custom with editors to indulge
in few self-gratulatoty remarks as to the
past, and to say something concerning the
future. We conform t5 the general rule
to the extent of saying that our success
during the year just closed was all we
hOued for or expected. We enter upon
the new volume with many new subscrib-
ers and nearly all the old ones-with, in
fact, subscription list as large as that of
any newspaper in tho codnty,-and with
largely increased advertising patronage.
In word, we are satisfied with the past
year and with the SUPPORT it bestowed on
us. As to the future, we will only say
tha: we will continue to print as good
paper as we are capable of-more than
which 10 one can reasonably ask. But
our efforts in the past as a journalist may
be accepted as an Indication of what we
will do in the future. In addition to the
usual features of The Al,eghdntan, We will
shortly introduce several new ouos, prom
iuent among which will be an "Educa-
tioual Department" Odited by compe-
tent practical teacher. 1t will ever be
our aim to try give our patrons the worth
of their subscription money. IF any Of
these think we fail herein, of course they

strength and experience begpt of six
years of active life animating us, and
feeling secure as to our foundation, Se
can afford to smile at the slander. I'VE
do smile at it, and pity and forgive him

OIL IN CAMBRIA CouNTf.-The AL
toona Tribune makes the following men
ton of the late reported strike of oil near
Wilmore: at has been demonstrated
beyond doubt that oil exists among the
extensive coal fields of Cambria county,
and it seems almost certain that it is now
but question of depth to find it in re-
munerative if not in immense quantities.
The oIeaginous fluid was brought up on
Thursday last, from depth of some five
hundred feet, by the sand pump of the
well now being put down near Wilmore.
We have the BEST authority for saying
that there is no mistake about the finding
of or quality Uf the fluid, and it only re-
mains to be seen whether the sanguine
hopes of the operators as 20 quantity will
yet be realized. At latest accounts the
drill was passing through white sandstone
rock, and beneath it lies the hope of
handsome yield"

ESCAPED FROM JAIL.-Last week We
mentioned that the number of prisoners
confined In our county Jail was eleven.-
On Friday night this number was reduced
to nine by the escape of Messrs. Ream
and Riddle, the two men charged with
the murder of Misses Paul and Mundy.
They effected their deliverahce from du-
rance vile by cutting through the wains-
cot and wall. What the idea of these
two men is in running off, 1t were hard
TO divine. They were both tried for the
charge preferred against them, last court,
and were acquitted and they had only to
remain in prison till next December when
they would probably be honorably reieas-
ed. Since they have gone away, however,
and without saying goodbye, they leave
the impression upon the minds of all that
they feared the result of the proceedings
at next court The richest thing about
the whole matter is, that two watchmen
are employed by the county to guard
the Jail O. nights. These worthless were
on duty that night; but Notwithstanding
their lynx-eyed Vigilance, the prisoners
succeeded in successfully making of,
leaving the fact that the birds had flown
to be discovered in the course of an bour,
an hour and half, or two hours after
daybreak
On Tuesday, Sheriff Myers discover
ed two prisoners confined in one of the
upstairs cells in the act of attempting to
cut out through the wall. They were
removed to another cell and ironed, where
they will doubtless be secure.

Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1865-06-21
Shall the Negro Vote

This is the question that is to agitate
the public mind for season. The negro
is now made a"free man :" that is, the
word slaccry is about to be abolished
which, however, is not to be understood
as relieving Nhe negro from the condition
of servilude. That condition ii is his des-
tiny to occupy wherever the Negro and
Caucasion races are thrown together and
it is no matter whether you call the M
slaves, apprentices, servants, ,domostics, or
operatives.
But the abolitionists nre not satisfied
with the destruction of slavery. They
must have the Negro placed on terms OF
perfect equality before the law with the
white man, and hence they demand that
he must have the right to vote, TO hold
office, to sit on juries, and to do whatever
clso white men are permitted to do. The
old Abolition party nOs taken high ground
in favor Of this reform, declaring that all
who are not in favor Of it are emisaries of
jeff Davis. Many Of the leading Repub.
.lican papers including Forney's Press, are
equally frank in its support. The ques-
ton is to be submitted to the people OF
Connecticut ia August by voting for or
