BURIED TwICE.-Four days after the
Rebels fired on Fort Sumpter, a SON of
Mr.. Duncan, of Mecca, Ohio, enlisted
for the war. He joined Western regi-
ment, and after being in several battles
was reported killed at the battle Of Stone
River His body was brought home and
inferred. Afterwards intelligence was
brought to the parents by returned Union
prisoners that their son was not dead, but
in a Rebel prison in Georgia. Other
prisoners, returning from there last spring,
brought the sad news Of his death to the
sorely distressed family. When the war
closed an opportunity was offered to pen
etrate the rebel lines. Mr.. Duncan sent
down and had his son brought home again
and buried twice, as was supposed. 1t
was natural that they should be reconciled
to their loss, but few days ago their son
Bob, in spite of wounds, and deaths and
funerals, came "marching home," and Is
now enjoying the hospitality Of the paren-
tai roof of-Ehqoirer.

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-Among the Allie
ghenics there is a spring so small that a
single OK could drain it dry on summers
day. 1t steals its unobtrusive way among
the hills till it speads out into the beauti-
ful Ohio Thence it stretches away
thousand miles, leaving on its banks more
than hundred villages and cities, and
more than a thousand cultivated farms,
and bearing on It's bosom more than u
thousand steamboats, Then joining the
Mississippi, it stretches away some twelve
hundred miles or more, until it falls into
the great emblem of eternity. 1t is one
of the great tributaries of the ocean, which
obedient only to God, shall roll and roar
until the angel, with one foot on sea aud
the other on land, shall lift up his hand to
heaven and swear that time shall be no
longer. So with moral influence. 1t is
a rivulet, an ocean, boundless and fathom-
less as eternity.

HOLDING BACK THE SHOULDERS
a great number of years it has been the
custom in France to give to young females
Of the earliest age, the habit of holding
back the shoulders, and thus expanding
the chest. From the observation of an
atomists, lately made, it appears that the
clavicle, or collar bone, is actually longer
in females of the French nation than those
of the English. AS the two nations are
of the Caucasian race, as there is no other
remarkable difference in their bones, and
this is peculiar to the sex, and 1t may be
attributed to the habit above mentioned,
which, by the extension Of the arms, has
gradually produced national eulongation
of this bone Thus we see that habit
may be employed to alter and improve
the solid bones The French have sue
ceeded in the developement of part that
adds to health and beauty.

WHY THEY How. The Cory Tele-
graph goes right to the kernel of the sub
ject in one sentence 1.-The Freedmen's
Bureau bill was an attempt TO bribe the
President (by placing almost absolute
power in his HANDY to sign a bill WHICH
would give unlimited office holding pow
er to the party which possessed the ma
jority in Congress for the time being."
The whole thing was Enthusiastically based
upon Thad. Stevens plan-''Perpetual
ascendency Of the Union party" (''lhrow-
ing conscience TO the devil" of course
How those fanatics would have reyeled
could they have got control of 50 many
more millions of dollars and the creation
of ten thousand more satellites, in the
shape Of officers, agents and lackeys of

TIE ABOLITION PLATFORM.

The resolutions adopted by the Aboi-
ton State Convention are very long and
very wordy-meaning anything, every
thing, or nothing. We give an abstract
of their tenor.
1st. Renews the Republican party's
pledges for the Union and It's preservation.
I'd. Asks for the gathering of the le-
gitimate fruits of the war"
Sd. That ''the failure in these grave
duties would be as ''criminal as seces-
sion"
Ith. Endorses the course of Andrew
Johnson up to the time Lincoln was as
sassinated, and ask linn TO stand now
where he did then.
9TH. Endorses the Rump CONGRESSES
action in excluding the Southern States
from the L. 5. Congress.
9th. That no man who has voluntarily
engaged in the late rebellion, or has held
office under the rebel organization, should
be allowed TO sit in the Congress Of the
Union and that the law-known as the
test oath-should not be repealed
7th. Asks for the payment Of the ma
tional debt.
The 8th is about the negro and we
give it in full:
Resoired, That the public faith is not
less solemnly pledged to the protection, in
the enjoyment of all their natural rights
Of their persons, property and domestic re-
lations-of the colOred population who
have been emancipated by the fiat of the
people, and under the providence of God;
and who deserved liberty by their kind
ness and fidelity TO our soldiers in prison,
or wounded, or seeking escape from their
tormentors, and by their courage in bear
ing arms for and fighting the battles of the
Union. Even rs man is more precious
than money in every just account, so the
honor Of the nation is more sacredly en-
gagged to these humble but never treacher-
Gus friends, than to those who hold its
bonds stamped with the broad seal of the
United States, that their freedom shall
not be a mockery. nor their just hopes of
security, education and elevation in intel
lectual and moral improvement disap-
pointed; and this faith must be kept invi-
olate. Applause.
The 9th asks protection of the iron and
other interests.
10th. Is a very funny resolution, at
tempting to flatter Governor Curtin, and
keep his friends and more conservative of
the Republicans in the traces
1lth. Approves the law relieving real
estate from taxation for State purposes.
18th. Is devoted 10 the ''dear soldiers
ID. Lauds the 'consummate ability of
Edwin Nj. Stanton" TCheers.
18th. Asks for equitable bounties for
the soldiers.
18th. Endorses General Grant
16. Says: ''That any attempt by for
eign nations to establish monarchial
government on this Continent, is evidence
of a design to destroy the Republic"
18th. Complains of the ''course of SEN
ator Cowan, and says he has forfeited the
confidence of those TO whom he owes his
place" Greeted with unbounded ap-
plause.
18th requires the president of the Con-
vention and the candidate for governor to
appoint the chairman of the State central
committee

WIsDoMs UTTERANCEs, s,-The human
mind is like vast tfirmament-lighted on
all sides by stars of different magnitude.
Great talent renders n man famous
great merit procures respect, and great
learning commands esteem. Great wealth,
when unaccompanied by these more emo
bling qualities, receives only the homage
of fools
He who seeks and gains by promises a
fellow mans confidence, or excites hope
he is unwilling to CRAFTY, is worthy only
of humauitys censure and divinity's curse.
Death once seen at our hearths, leaves
a shadow which abideth forever.
The more true merit person has the
more they applaud it in others
We revenge in haste and passion; we
repent at leisure and from reflection.

plunge the neck of the flask as far it will 90,

MERCER CoUNrY.-A man, supposed
to be the murderer of the man found dead
near Johnstown, Pennsylvania, was arres-
ted near that place few days ago and
sent to Mercer Jail.
At the late burning of the Mercer Court
House, after endeavoring for some time to
extinguish the flames without success, the
volunteer firemen tilted the engine into
the fire, and let it perish with the building.

The BLACK AT LEIsURE.-A cores
pondent of the Press, describing the occu-
pants of the galleries of Congress writes ::
'.Colored soldiers are largely represen-
ted. They come early and sit late, ex-
hibiting decorum and attention to what
is going on that show how deeply they are
concerned in the solution of the stubborn
problems of the hour
White soldiers cannot afford to while
away the days Of their lives in the gale
ries of Congress. If they are still in the
service, they are doing military duty
somewhere, instead of idling about the
capital. If :hey have been discharged,
they are toiling to get their families bread,
and have no money to spare for trip 10
Washington, and no time to spend in lis
tening to debates. But even if they had
the leisure and the means of which the
colored braves seem TO be so abundantly
possessed, they would hardly seek enter
tainment in the spectacle daily presented
ON the floor of Congress, in beholding their
political birth-right given away TO the
blacks, and the Constitution of their faith
ers tinkered into a mere negro code.
Such doings are doubtless pleasing in the
eyes of the colored auditory who crowd
the galleries, but the white soldier has lit
tie occasion to mourn that he has no time
to spend in watching them.
