He has reduced his prices for cash, and will do
all kinds of work pertaining to the tailoring busi-

low that no one will fail to be satisfied. He has
removed his shop to the room formerly occupied

Teach me Thy way"

u, Thou unseen, eternal One ,.f+
Whom myriad worlds obey
Whose being is-whose will be done.
w mere er the rays of star or sun
Through the wide realms of ether run:
jl"Teach me Thy way" 49, -
At morn, when first Thy golden beams
Thy glorious works display,
when Ger the hills thy sunlight streams,
And earth with life and beauty teens.
Lake Ike some bright isle in happy dreams:y
Teach me Thy way" II
AT evening, when Thy shadows fall Z
Around departing day.
AND lowly vale, and mountain tall,
And stream, and lake, and forest-all f
GROW sombre with Thy mantling pail
Teach me Thy way
Nor less, when in Life's solemn hour
Are sleeping silently, = Il' iJ@
The weary bee, in tiny flower 5af
The wild bird, in his greenwood bower,
Aha I.o sous, meath thatch or princely tower:
Teach me Thy way" II
When, by the smile of summer blest.
The fields and woods are gay,
All IN a robe of verdure dressed:
When the wild winds have sunk to rest.
Thy waves are still on Oceans breast
Teach me Thy way"
Or when thou stretchest forth Thine arm.
g In awful majesty, l..ao'~-'-' -.
IN wintry skies or climate warm,
Robing about the unseen form 'aiirfl- 1
With clouds and darkness, fire and storm;
Teach me Thy way"
Maker of all-earth, sea and air t.t .....-
Ruler of night and day,
Long as / live beneath Thy care, -l
While goodness keeps and mercies spare
Be ever this my heartfelt prayer:

And when Life's feeting hours are past;
When in eternity -NR ff

And through that endless, unknown vast,

When the spirit of Radicalism is exercised
from the government, it will leave the nation
exhausted by its long struggle, but its madness
will have departed, and it will clothe itself again
in the beautiful garments of peace-reason will

in it's soul, and it will sit a queen, to whom all
her subjects may swear fealty, because the
promise of their lips will be ratified by the i'm

Generation after generation says fine
writer, "have felt as we now feel, and their
lives were active as our own. They passed like
vapor, while nature wore the same aspect of
beauty as when her Creator commanded her to
be- The heavens shall be as bright over our
graves as they now are around our paths. The
world will have the same attractions for our off
spiing unborn as she had once for our children
Yet little while all will have happened The
throbbing heart will be sted, and all will be
at rest Our funeral will wind its way; and
prayers will be said, and then we shall be left
alone In silence and darkness for the worms =
And, it may be, for short time we shall be
spoken of, but the things of life will creep in,
and our names will soon be forgotten. Days
will continue to moye on, and laughter and
song will be heard in the room in which we
died: and the eye that mourned for us will be
dried, and gisten again with joy and even our
children will cease to think Of us, and will not
remember to lisp our Names

ner of inconvenience in having pattern pro-
pounded to US of so great perfection as is above
our reach to attain to, and there may be great
advantage in it. The way to excel in any kind,
is to propose the brightest and most perfect
examples to our imitation. No man can write
after too perfect and good copy and though
he can never reach the perfection of it, yet he
is likely to learn more than by one less perfect.

The movement for the reduction of wages, which was

not join in the nitiaory step taking measures to
join in the STEP The reduction ranges from to twenty
per In Troy Albany, Phade pha, Pittsburgh, and
nearly all the manufacturing towns and villages in Pennsy
vana New Jersey and New England the reduction is in
about the ratio. In the change has not
been effected without trouble The carpet of Phil

attempt to reduce their pay to the extent of onequarer of
their present earnings In many places employers have
been ooged to close their factories altogether
nng them on short tme besides reducing the pay In
several manufacturing towns in Connecticut and Massachu
sets, work has almost entirely ceased In Richmond and
Petersburg V the tobacco that closed during the
Christmas Mondays will resume operations until spring.
Comparatively few factories in part

at the old rates of wages
The employees OF cotton factory Hebronsville Mass
left work Monday, in consequence of a reduction of
wages which they believe to be greater than the necessity
of the times demands The cutdown eouaI tn
