'.GO, FEEL WHAT HAVE FELT"

A young lady At New York was in the
habit of writing for the Philadelphia
Ledger on the subject Of temperance. -
Her writing evinced such deep emotion,
thai a friend of hers accused her of being
a maniac on the subec, Of temperance
whereupon she wrote the following Z stan
Zas :--
Go, feel what | have felt,
Go. tear what | have DO, ne
Sink meath the blows father dealt,
And th. cod worlds proud scorn.
Then suffer on from year TO YEAR
The sole relief the scorching tear.
Go, kneel as have knplt.

Strive the hesntled heart 10 melt.

Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers hu,lesqued your tears defed
Go, weep as | have wept,

THE TWO CANDIDATES.

THE difference between the Republi-

the treatment accorded to the Soldier by
the State Conventions of the two. The
Republican Convention nomiuates gal

war; the Democratic Convention noni,
mates Copperhead, without alloy, who
voted as member of the State Senate
against every measure Intended TO benefit
the soldier. The Republican platform,
too, demands an equalization of bounties

brave defenders of the nation, and lib

Uniouism in loyal Kentucky:
"Reuben Harris was the slave Of Isaac

rivers. About year ago, Reuben di

THE ORPHANS.

HARRISBURG, haTCn ID nree nun
dred and twenty orphans of deceased
Pennsylvania soldiers arrived here at noon
to-day, from the schools at NcAlsterville.
Mount Joy and Paradise Tao girls and
boys were neatly ard uniformly clothed,
the former in brown hoods, black cloth
cloaks ard checked frocks, and the latter
in dark blue gold-!aced caps and ligh:
blue rcundabouts and rantaloors. Each

citizens who entertained them.
THE VISIT TO THE LEGISLATURE.
At 1 e'cock P. VI they appeared be-
fore the members of both Houses of the

tlemcn, Governor Curtin and Speaker

on either side of Speaker Kelly, Of the
House Hon. Thomas Ii. Burrows, State
Superintendent o. Sailot's and Soldier $
Orphans, being introduced, spoke at length
explaining the system of educating and
maintaining the orphans. He said the
children present only represented one
third Of the whole number now iu charge
in the State He said it had been noised
abroad that these children had been star
we'd, kept dirty, and without clothing, and
he directed the attention OF the people to
the little folks present, and said
If the report was true, not sick boy
was left behind all were healthy He
then called on the children for songs, re.
citations, and other exercises. Colonel
McFerlaud, teacher of the McAlisterville
School, called on his pupils for Rally
Around the Flag Boys" which was sung
with great credit, especially to the girls.
THE MALISTERvILLE SCHOOL.
In this school were sixty girls and one
hundred aud thirty boys. Master Henry
Albert, Of the McAlistervile School,
made the opening speech, in which he,
on the part of the orphans Of Pennsy!va-
MIA, thanked the Governor, the soldier
friend, and the Legislature for their lib
erality in providing homes for them. His
delivery was fne, aud his words were
greeted with applause.
The girls from Mount Joy then sang
the Dear Qll Flag"
Master David Leech, from Paradise,
delivered an original address, which he
spoke with real eloquence He thanked
the citizens Of Harrisburg for their kindly
entertainment Of his fellow orphans, which
they could appreciate. The boys of Par.
adise sang Uncle Sam is rich enough to
send us al! to School, to the great amuse-
ment Of the audience
Master Dahlel DoaS, OF Bristol Bucks
comfy, son of color sergeant killed in
the Pennsylvania Reserves, spoke pathet
ically of the fallen heroes, and the care
their orphans we're now receiving at the

OUR CANDIDATE AND platform.

The nomination CT General Geary is
received everywhere throughout the State
with rare enthusiasm and cordiality. In
all our experience Of Pennsylvania poll
ties we have never known a nomination
that was hailed with such general and
genuine outburst Of delight. In all quar-
ters of the Commonwealth it is accepted
as an assurance Of success, says the Pitts
burg Gazette, aud the party is thus en-
abled to enter the canvass at an early
day, well-organized, united and confident.
Outside of the State the Republican pa
pers seem as much gratifed as our own
people do, regarding the presentation Of
So strong a candidate as one of those
happy political hits which parties make
only when they have all their with about
them.
The platform, too, is approved and en-
dorsed with the same ardor that greeted
it whan it vas read in the Convention -
In former years Pennsylvania has been
regarded as being rather behindhand in
the matter Of platforms, her politicians
seeking rather to deal in glitterins gen.
erai,es than in specific commttals to a
definite policy. If any State, therefore.
could reasonably have been suspected Of
leaning 20 Conservatism, it was Penn
sylvania. She has, however, spoken cut
plainly, definitely and decisively and Our
friends in other States as well as in Con-
gress, feel reioced to know that hcr Toice
is Enthusiastically for tie right There has
been, consequently, very general stiff
ening of backboues, and the Republicans
Of the country feel as men do who have
had heavy load removed from their
shoulders.
General Geary thus enters upon his
new campaign under the most encourage
ing auspices. The flag of the white
Star" Corps is uufurled the ranks formed
in compact array; and the inspiriting
bugle blast has sounded the call to move
forward Under his lead its march will
be as irresistible as was the host that
moved forward from Atlanta to the sea
and as that march ended in making him
Governor Of Savannah this one will end
in making him Governor of Pennsylvania.
