OBITUARY.

Joseph RitneF, Ex-Governor of Pennsylvania.
Joseph Ritner, the venerable Ex-Governor OF
this Commonwealth died on Saturday, at the resi-
dence OF his son in Carlisle. He was born the
city OF Reading, in Berks county, on the 25th OF
March, 1880, and was therefore in his nnetieth year
at the time of his death. He belonged TO OF the
old Dutch families OF the State, and true type
OF his curious class, lacking depth and brillancy
but endowed with earnestness aud solidity of
character Six months instruction in private
school of rather mean pretensiOns comprised all the
education that he received in his youth. When a
mere lad he removed from Berks to Cumberland
county, where he hired himself out to a farmer
remaining in this humble position until the time of
his marriage at the age OF twenty. few years
after he again migrated removing 10 Westmoreland
county, and finally to Washington county, in the
western part Of the State
Not until he was well advanced in years did he
enter upon his political career. In 1920 he was
elected to the lower house Of the State Legislature
as Wing, serving in that body during seven con-
secutve years, and acting as Speaker OF the House
during the last two years Of his term. He used to
tell an anecdote concerning his early political eX-
perience which gives a fair insight into his char

day which witnessed his first nomination to the
Legislature. he found his wife u !Gars, On inqgg'

culy was finally settled by To- Senate recognizing
une House Of which William Hopkins, Democrat, had
been chosen Speaker
IN lSaO Governor Ritner was chosen PTestdeu-
ua eiector on the Wing Ticket casting his vote for
eeheral Harrison. He demanded from him the office
OF collector OF the port OF Philadelphia, which he
ulu not receive. He was, however appointed Trea-
suIer OF the Mint in this city by President
Iyler but held the position a few months
only owing to the failure of his confirmation in the
senate He always accused Henry Clay with this
ueieat, putting Clays opposition on the ground OF
masonry. On retiring from this office he became
lost TO public view, and passed the remaining years
OF his life in entire repose.

John w. ClnRl,orn,

At O'Clock yesterday morning Mr. John W..
Chghorn, one OF the most respected and benevolent
ciuzehs OF this city, died at his residence on Arch
street. AFTER an Illness Of but few days. The de-
ceased, although in the eghty-drst year OF his age
enjoyed comparatively good health until the past
year. and met manfully and as a Christian all the
responsibilities his wealth and position In society
imposed upon him.
Mf' Claghorn was born at Rochester, Mass, Aug.
20 1882 and removed to Philadelphia from Boston in
tue year 1911. In the war with England in 1872 he
enhsted ana served as a volunteer. On his honOra-
ple dlscharge In 1918, he engaged In the wholesale
grocery business on North Third street. and soon en-
Iered the mousse of Gill, Canong Il Co., auctioneers
rms hrm was subsequently changed to jennings
lhomas GIL Co., and Mr.. John w. Claghorn and
me late John b. Myers were made junior partners.
Ihe TWO latter gentlemen, in January, 1884, formed
the firm of Myers Claghorn, which
afterwards became the leading auction
mousse In this city. In 1SI, Mr.
Claghorn retired from this firm and associated him
SELF with Thomas Robins, Esq., and the late Marshall

uoneers. course of high-toned, conscientious
dealing enabled Mr.. Claghorn to accumulate a for
tune princely for merchants twenty-five years ago.
ana 10 retlre from business pursuits in few years.
The remaining years of the deceased were devoted
10 the claims of Christian and benevolent enter
prises.
He was for twenty-five years accounting warden
OF Grace P E) Church; for over twenty years trea-
surer OF the Pennsylvania Bible Society," for over
twenty years a manager of the Union Benevolent
Association and Of the House Of Refuge; and for q
ike number OF years director of the Philadelphia
Bank, and an active manager and treasurer of the
Northern Home for Friendess Children since its
formation, as well as of the Merchants Fund.
These services, though unostentatious, were OF
far more value to the community than those rem
dered by many in public capacities. In every posi-
ton OF life to which he was assigned, the deceased
did his duty and his whole duty and, dying, left to
his children the honor OF a name made memorable
by the good deeds oEfourscOre years.

then! phew! won't there be big
smell, though =? Now the Millerites
tell US that the great Lord will burn
up this old world and the old heav-
en-, and will make new earth and a
new heaven to put all us fellows in

then we will be full of that great
joy which is coming to everybody,
and we will. be as happy as child
with a new frock. And then sorrow
and signing will pass away, and there
will be no more crying, but tears
will be wiped from all faces. Then
we will.all meet together, and won't
we have a jollification2 But hold
on there! says the priest and the
Levite: "That is not the doctrine
we preach we don't preach that all
will bear the image of the heavenly,
according to the scriptures. We
don't preach that the Devil and
Death are to be destroyed, and He'll
cast into lake of fire and birthstone
according to the Bible. We are Or
thodox, and you must believe what
we preach-and let the Bible all go
to smash. We preach that there
will always be devil and that there
always will be a hell. For, don't
you know, that everything must
have something right opposite to it :?
So if there is day there must be
night; and If there is a heaven there
must be a hell; and if there is God
there must be a devil-right oppo
site to God" ...-. ---.- ...as..t
Well, now, I suppose as how the
priests are orthodox, so we must
believe them and let the Bible all go
to nothing. Now, they tell US that
the great Jehovah God is great
big man; so big that he is every
where all at once. And that he
knows everything all in jiffin. And
that he has got all the power in the
world. And the devil is right oppo-
site to him. So as God has all the
power, the devil has no power at all
And God knows everything, and the
devil is right opposite, SO he don't
know anything. And God is always
everywhere, and the devil is right
opposite. SO he is nowhere.

A Blamed Long Table.

The following, mark you, is Jim
Paisley's narrative-dont, you OBJ
serve-of nights adventure. One
morning we met him in the street,
looking rather melancholy, when he
said:
yesterday I felt little bad, and
mark you, I went and took a small
drink; and that not improving my
feeling, 1 took another and another,
don't you observe, and finally I got
a little tight. In the evening I went
into the country with a friend, mark
you, and thinking I would cool. off,
l took several more drinks when l
got there, don't you observe; yet,
strange to say, the more I drank the
tighter I got, until went to bed.
During the night Iawoke, don't you
observe, and I couldn't imagine
where the mischief / was, mark you.
The room was as dark as Egypt. 1
heard the clock strike two in some
part of the honse, mark you. l be-
came very anxious to learn my
whereabouts, don't you observe, and
for that purpose arose from my bed
mark you, and after stumbling over
about dozen chairs, don't you OBJ
serve, l came to a table.
Now, mark you, I reflected that
the generality of the apartments are
a perfect or an oblong square, don't
you observe; and moreover that
the generality of tables are square
and deduced from this, mark you,
that by feeling along the table until
l came to a corner, I could get OFF
at right angles and reach the corner
of the room, and by that be guided
by the wall to roof or window,
don't you observe. Following out
this idea, mark you, began care
fully to feel along the edge of the
aforesaid table, and finally gaining
confidence, went a little faster; the
idea struck me that it was a blamed
long table, that I could not get to q
corner, don't yeu~observe; yet I
persevered-and finally day broke,
and when sufficient light penetrated
the apartment saw, mark you, that
l had been following blamed round
table all night, looking for corner

UNCLE VENE.

Well stree, if a fellow amt suited
with this kind of weather, I think he
must be hard to please; but some
folks you know are suited with moth
ing. But should think they might
be suited with the weather when
they get all sorts, right along in a
row,-just as we generally get it in
March. No wonder they call it
March, for the weather marches right
straight along and says nothing to
nobody" Don't even ask counsel
of anybody; although, some folks
seem to think they would like to be
consulted on the subject.
Why don't I talk about something
Of some consequence ?
Well, now what would you have
me talk about? Religion! Well,
that would suit me to T. For,
when I get to reading the Bible
about how the Gospel is good news
and tidings of GREAT JOY, that is to
oome to every body all at once-I
tell you it makes me feel all over so
good and happy, that I could sing
and shout and pray, and hop and
jump; for 1 feel as if I was chuck
full of that great joy which is com
ing to everybody some Of these
days. But the Bible says that we've
all got desperately wicked and stray
ed away out of that straight and mar
row path that the Lord wanted US to
travel in; so there is none that does
any good. So that he that says he
is without sin, is awfully deceived,
for the Truth amt in him. And the
Bible says, the sinner sha'nt be un-
punished. And SO I s'pose we will
all have to be punished for all our
sins. And then the priest tells us
that the Great Jehovah, God, has
made a great big fire,-which they
call Hell,-where he will throw all
Of us wicked sinners; and that He
has got an awful-looking great fel
low, whom they call the Devil, tc
stir US all up with a pitchfork,
s'pose to melt US all over, and burr
all the filth and dross out of us; sc
we will all come out like pure gold,
clear from all sin and corruption
So then we shall have a true knowl
edge of the power and goodness o.
the great God: for the Bible says VIZ
shall all know Him, from the leas
unto the greatest. So then we car
walk in, that great fire, like Shad
rae, Mishik and Belzebub did in thu
fiery furnace, and we wont mind i
any more than a flea bite. So the1
the great Lord wont have any NOR,
use for that awful looking fellow th,
Devil. So, the Bible says as how hi
will be destroyed, and that big He'll
which must be full of all the filtl
and corruption which came out o
MS wicked sinners, will be cast int

KIRBY, o., April 1869.
Thinks to myself the people have
been organizing Temperance Socie-
ties and spending much time and
money to stop the progress of intem-
perance and drunkenness ever since
the Washingtonians first organized
a temperance society-more than 45
years ago; and what have they ac-
complished? How much less drunk
enness is there now than there was
fifty years ago? Some good has
probably been done; but if the tenn
perance organizations wish to de
stroy the tree, why not strike at the
root, or little nearer to it than they
have yet done? This cutting off a
branch or two only causes more
sprouts to grow.
AS long as doctors prescribe it,
and sick people take it, (that is, al
cohol,) SO long drunkenness will
walk abroad in our streets. For
nearly every body is sick. But now
it is we'll known that some Of the
best physicians in the United States
abolished the use of alcohol in their
practice more than twenty years ago,
and that they have had better sue
cess in their practice since they quit
using it, than they did. before; then
why don't every honest physician
abolish the use of it2 And why
does notevery temperance organiza-
ton have their pledge to abstain
from the use of it either as a beyer-
age or medicine?
am we'll satisfied from forty five
years experience and observation,
that it is entirely useless as medi-
cine and that there is a much better
way. ese

Whatever you have to say, my friend,

Condense as much as ever you can,
And say in the readiest way;
And whether you write of rural affairs.
Or particular gs in town,
Just take word of friendly advice
Boil it down.
For If you go spluttering over page
When couple of lines would do,
Your butter is spread SO much, you see.
That the bread looks plainly through.
So when you have story to tell,
And would like a little renown,
To make sure OF your wish, my friend,
Boil it down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
To utter your thoughts in the fewest words,
And let them be crisp and dry.
And when it is finished, and you suppose
1t is done exactly brown,
Just loo k it over again, and then
Boil it down.

Boil it down.
