tried at the last term of the Superior Court
of Allegheny county, Spring term 1869, con-
victed of forcible trespass upon the prem
Uses of jackson Woodruff of that county,
during the war, and sentenced to two years
Imprisonment. The petition to the Governor
for pardon states that six men have been
hung already for that offence, and the pros
ecution had been urged with greater bitter
ness because of the rebel feeling of those
who prompted it. And now, when they no
longer have the power to destroy those who
are obnoxious to them, they display their
bitterness by malicious prosecutions, and
the petition signed by large number Of
the most respectable citizens of that county
states that justice could only be Gone to
this man by pardon, and the pardon was
granted accordingly. '' -

George D. Prentice has been a constant
drinker for forty years Fur ten years he
has been driaker Of the lignum vitB
order. Here is a temperance lecture BY
him.
There age times when the pulse lies low
IN the bosom and bclts low ia the veins !;
when the spirit sleeps, which, apparently,
knows no wakeniag slesps in its house o,
clay, and the windows are slgt aud the
doors hung in the Invisible craze oe mean

eastern hills again for US with an bis a9ak-
ening gladncss. and the night overflow with
moonlight. love and flowers? Love itself is
the greatest stimulant--ths most intoxiea
ting Of oil, aud performs all These miracles !;
but it is rot at the drug store whatever they
say. The counterfeit Is ia the market but
the winged-God Is not a money-changer, We
assure you. Men have tried many things
still they ask for stimulants Mcn try to
bury the floating dead Of their own souls in
the vine cup, but the corpse rises. We see
their faces in the bubbles. The intoxica-
ton Of drink sets the world whirling again,
and the pulses to playing music, and the
thoughts gallopine, but tie fast clock runs
down sooner, aud unnatural stimuIauts only
leave the house if filed with the widest
reyelry, more silent, more sad, more desert
ed, more dead There IS only one stimu-
lant that never intoxicates, duty Duty
puts clear sky over man, into which the
sky lark, happiness, always goes singing.

And these, his own words. held in toler-
ably retentive memory, afford a key to En-
erson's intellectual character. He simply
Announces, he does not reason. Truth with

hence, he is dogmatist and not philoso-

Emerson is ere Of The most genial and
kiaeig Of gentlemen; and one forgets, when
listening to the rare music Of his conyersa-
ton, that be is ia The presence Of one Of the
crowned heads Of literature. Every one has
hisoRn opinion of his writings we have
ours and, lest we should be mistaken for
one Of his followers, We viii say that we ad-
mlfe the man more than we do his books.
We never open one of them without being
reminded Of what was said to Faust by the
simple hearted Margaret "What you say
sounds very fine, and is very nearly what
the priest tells me--only in different words.
For all that, thou hast no Christianity,
From Emerson to Wendell Phillips is only
twenty miles; and, yet, there is the breadth
Of continent between them. In fact, they
belong to different worlds. One lives in the
idea, the other in the actual; one walks
with his head il the clouds, and, now and
then, sends down to US the music Of that far
up, hyperborean region, the other treads the
solid earth, and, with magic voice, raises or
stills at his viii the tempest Of human life
that is sleeping or surging around him. But
both have had a mighty influence on the
time, and the memory Of both viii live when
most other Americans Of this century are
forgotten. n.-Fhone Raekards Monthly, for
