THE REWARD.
BY JonN G. wnITTmR.

Who, looking backward from his manhood prime
Sees not the spectre Of his misspent timer
And, through the shade
Of funeral cypress planted thick behind,
Hears no reproaehful whisper Of the wind
From his loved dead
Who bears 40 trace Of passions evil force,
Who shuns thy sting, Q terrible remorse2
Who does not cast
On the thronged pages Of his memory's book,
AT times, sad and half reluctant look,
Regretful of the past2
Alas the evil which we fain would shun
We do, and leave the wished for good undone.
Our strength to-day
Is but to-morrows weakness prone to fali
Poor, blind, Improbable servants all
Are We Away.
Yet who, thus looking backward o'er his ears
Feels not bis eyeIids wet with grateful tears
If he hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was,
To cheer aud aid in someeunobling cause,
His fell w men?
If he hath hidden the outcast, or let in
a ray Of sunshine to tho cell Of sin
If be hath lent
Strength to the weak, and, in an hour Of need,
over the suffering, mindless of his creed
Or home, hath bent
He has not lived in vain. And while he gives
The praise to Him, in whom he moves and lives,
With thankful heart;
He gazes backward, and with hope before,
Knowing that from his works he nevermore,
Can henoeforth part.

HOW DEMOCRACY REMEMBERS
THE SOLDIERS.

In 1868, when Chambersburg was smok-
ing and the decisive lines were drawing
around Gettysburg, the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania were in council at Harrisburg.
Many of the very men in session last month
were there, and under the very bayonets Of
the Confederate army, they remembered the
Union soldier by advising compromise
compromise when the colors of rebellion
we're profaning the soil of the State.
In 1864 the Democracy met in National
Convention at Chicago. The fate Of the
nation was in the balance. Sherman was
gone on his brilliant but desperate march to
the sea. Thomas was battling in front of
Nashville Grant was struggling in the
Wilderness amid the graves and defeats of
successive campaigns. The Democracy met
and remembered the soldiers-How They
explicitly declared the war, after three years
of trial, to be "a failure, and demanded
that immediate effort be made for a cessa-
ton of hostilities. Every plank, too, of
this infamous platform, with one exception
was stab at the Administration which was
keeping the soldiers in the field Is it any
wonder that this shameful assemblage has
passed into infamy and history as the Sur
render Convention p
In 1865, when the war was just over, and
the soldiers of Pennsylvania were coming
home, tired aud wounded, with their dead
behind them, their business and occupations
gone, to commence, perhaps, yet more
desperate struggle for livelihood, how were
they welcomed by the Democracy of Penn
sylvauia? In convention assembled, under
the leadership of Judge Black, still an hon
ored name in his party, the Democracy of
the State deliberately and officially declared
the history of the war to have been debt,
slaughter and disgrace " That was only
the Democratic remembrance of our strug-
gle and sacrifice
These platforms and resolutions, which
make the blood of soldies to leap and his
cheek to tiugle, are all yet in full force and
vigor They are part of the creed of
Democrat. They have never been reseind-
ed, repealed, or apologized for. A vote for
Packer and Pershing is specific endorse
ment of their every word.
This is what Democratic remembrance
means.

CONFIRMATION.

One man complains of wants and def
ciencies from which his neighbor is exempt
while the latter sighs for advantages which
the other is supposed to possess. The poor
man eats his corn bread and fat bacon with
a relish caused by hunger, which the rich
man signs for at table covered by dainties.
A banker, one day, was approaching his
door at dinner time, when he was aceosted
by beggar, who cried out that he was hun
cry. "What happy rogue, replied the
banker, to have hunger" A more famil-
lar anecdote is that of an English nobleman,
who, in the midst of a violent attack Of
asthma, hearing chimney sweep in the
street, uttering his usual cries to attract no
tice, exclaimed, 'What an extravagant ras
cal that is He wastes more breath in five
minutes than would last me for the day"
when I was young man, said an en-
inent English surgeon of the last century,
81 had good teeth but wanted meat for them
to chew; now / am old and have abundance
to eat, but not the teeth to enable me to
chew it. This is a somewhat iguratiye
way of expressing the fact that in early life
man has keen sense of enjoyments, with
out the desired means for their full gratif-
cation; and that in old age this sense is
bunted, while the incentives to pleasure
abound. The helpless paralytic finds large
compensation in the tender care and unceas-
ing attentions of family or friends, whose
kindlier feelings and affections have been
brought out by the occasion, to an extent
alike grateful and unexpected to him and to
themselves.

THE TRUE CHURCH.

Says Henry Ward Beecher: We are
talking about what is going to save the
World, and how religion is going to be ad
vanced, and which is going to get ahead.
You can never tell by looking at birds tail
feathers which is going to fly highest and
you cannot tell by looking at churches, and
their ordinances, and their outside appa-
ratus, which is going to take the lead l
tell you that church which has, first, the
most power with God, and then, next, the
most sympathetic power with men, is the
truest church. The spirit of the gospel is
contained in the words, Weprayin Christ's 5
stead, be ye reconciied with God" This
is the whole Of it. We are to use every
thing that we have, in the divine work of
persuading men to become sons OF God
That ought not to be very operose thing
1t ought not to be difficult to be understood.
1t ought not to be SO perplexed and COM
fused as it is. Religion is the simplest
thing in the world. A child that knows
how to love fathor and mother, and to say
Dear Father aud Dear Mother, knows
how to worship God. A child that knows
the economy Of the household knows the
whole economy of true church government.
Nothing can be simpler than that.

BAD News weakens the action Of the
heart, oppresses the lungs, destroys the ap-
petite, stops digestion, and partially sus
pends all the functions Of the system. An
emotion of shame fushes the face; fear
blanches it; and an instant thrill eleetrifes
million OF nerves Surprise spurs the pulse
into a gallop. Delirium iufuses great en-
ergy. Yolition commands, and hundreds
Of muscles spring TO execute. Powerful
emotion often Kills the body At a stroke. EN-
inent public speakers have died in the midst
of an impassioned burst of eloquence, or
when the deep emotion that produced it
suddenly subsided LargraVe the young
Partisan, died when be heard that the mu-
sical prize for which he had competed was
adludged another.

ENGLISH VIEW or TIE CHINESE. Tie
London Times devotes lending editorial 10
Chinese emigration to America. Itrefers to
the mobbing Of the emigrants in California,
and says it recalls the agitation Of the Aus
traian colonies some six years ago on the
same subject The inhabitants of Victoria
manifested the same dislike of the ChiDa-
men. Legislation ultimately assumed the
form Of an import duty. but it was seriously
proposed to make the importation Of Chi
nese into the colony a c,imiEal ofense, and
while there further immigration was to be
prohibited under severe penalties, active
measures were 10 be taken TO send back to
their native land those Who had crept in
unawares 10 contaminate the Australian
soil. The experience of Victoria seemed te
prove that the reason Of the aversion mani
tested to them, that they would underbid
the white laborefs, had some foundation in
truth Their economy is said to be marvel
lous 1t is said that they would settle down
in Victoria ON digging abandoned as hope
lessly un-remuuerative by the best miners
from Eogland, and, without discovering any
new veins, coutrive to live comfortably outhe
produce they extracted from it. A stream
washing which had been washed over and
over again until no glitteripg point remained
would be undertaken by them, and their
microscopic scu;encss would realize
wealth Of metal The Tines says that
alone among the races of the world they
confront the Eoglishman, and produce as
much work with las pay.

NEWSPAPER LAws-Ws would call the special
attention of Post Masters and subscribers to the
INouIRER to the following synopsis Of the News
paper laws:
1. A Postmaster is required to give notice 5y
setter, (returning paper does not answer the iaw)
when a subscriber dues not take his paper ont Of
the Office, and state the reasons tor its not being
taken; and a neglect TO DO so makes the Postmas-
ter repsoRsi6le 70 the publishers for the payment
2, Any person who takes paper from the Post
Office, whether directed to his name or another or
whether he has subscribed or not is responsible
for the pay.
3. II "a person orders his paper discontinued, he
must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
olect the whole amount, ,ohefler Il Be taken from
the office or NOT There can be No legal discontin-
uence until the payment is made
T. II the subscriber orders his paper to be
stopped at certain time, and the publisher con
tinues to send, the subscriber is bound to pay for
it, II he takes ft out of The Post O1Fce. The law
proceeds upon the ground that man must pay
for what be uses.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers and periodicals. from the Post Office,
or removing and having them uncalled for. is
prima faeia evidence of intentional fraud.

THE GRAVE OF HAWTHORNE, He lies
buried close to Thoreau, on the highest
point of the Sleepy Hollow cemetery. Two
small, oval stones bear the simple name
Hawthorne, without date or anything

evergreen hedge which surrounds the lot is
a hawthorn tree. 1t is poets grave. and

LABOR. There is much truth in the
statement that none SO little enjoy life, and
are such burdens to themselves, as those
who have nothing to do The active only
have the true relish of life. He who knows
not what it is to labor, knows not what it is
to enjoy. Recreation is only enjoyable as it
unbends US The idle know nothing of it.
1t is exertion that renders rest delightful,
and sleep sweet and undisturbed. That the
happiness of life depends on the regular
prosecution of some landahlA .nurnasa. nr
lawful calling, which engages, helps and en-

who, after spending years in active useful
ness, retire to enjoy themselves; they then
