The "New Party" Mistake.

Certain editorial gentleman who
visited thiscity recently have free trade
on the brain, and labor under the i'm
preston that they can build up new
party based entirely upon that doctrine.
They held public and private con-
ferences, were fat cred and compliment
ed by Democratic politicians, and feel
ing assured that they were about to ac-
complish great things and astonish the
world, returned to their respective
homes il high state of satisfaction.
The idea of a new party TO be formed
upon the free-trade principle is exceed
ingly grateful to the Democratic mind.
They know it will not take one mau
from the Democratic fold, and that the
Republican gudgeons who swallow the
bait will find themselves an the Dem
ccratic string. The movement is in
every respect for the benefit of the
Democratic party, and this is so obvious
that it would require a vast amount OF
charity to suppose that the editorial
gentlemen III question do not under
stand and desire such result.
But we predict its utter failure. The
attempt will be made and while in
some localities it may injure the Repub-
lican party temporarily, in others it will
be substantially strengthened, and the
principal consequence will he that a
few journals now nominaliy Republican
will find themselves in the Democratic
party, which to Republicans will be
good riddance and great gain. Come,
gentlemen, move on. The sooner you
sail under your true colors the better
for the country and the Republican
party Wash Chronicle.

AS what relates to sthe Father of his
Country seems the Inheritance OF our
nation, the following incidents-lor
which we are indebted to DR.. Alfred
Langdon Elwyn of Philadelphia-prop-
erly belong 10 the public. They are
told in the unpublished journal OF one
OF tile Signers of the Declaration of 1u-
depenuence-an authority which places
their reality beyond doubt; and they
are of interest, aS revealing the inmost
thoughts i'll critical periods of some Of
the principal men of the Revolution.
Shortly after Washington was APP
pointed by Congress Comnander-in-
cnief-that is. in the latter part of May
OF the beginning of June, 1775-the
exact date given in the diary is not re-
membered-after the battle OF LeXing-
ton, but before the Revolutionary War
had LARRY begun, some intimate friends
gave dinner to the General at Gray's
Ferry Tavern, near Philadelphia, on the
opposite bank of fSchuylkill. The party,
OF whom the journalist was one, consist
ed. besides Washington himself, of DR..
Franklin, John Adams, John Langdon,
Thomas Jefferson, and DR.. Benjamin
Rush. After dinner, John Adams, fill
ing his glass, rose and said:
Il propose the health of the conf
Inander-in-chief of the American
forces!n
Washington's face became little suf-
fused with emotion and he started back
in his chair, but said nothing. The
others filled their glasses and stood up,
exchanging looks. As by an electric
flash, while they glanced into each
| others eyes, the feeling came over all
| tbut the occasion was too grave for
hilarity: the prospect of an uncertain
civil war rose darkling before their
minds, and, their wine unIasted, they
sat down in silence!
The other incident shows Washing
ton ; character in anew and interesting
light. The narrator, at that time sur
geon OF Pennsylvania regiment, was
seated in WashingtOn's tent day or
TWO before the battle of Trenton. The
General was engaged il writing, when
suddenly tearing of "a riece OF the paper
on which he had just scrbbled some
thing, he crumpled ii in his hand, and
rising from his seat threw it on the
ground, and then paced the floor al
sorbed in thought. This act was re-
peated several times, and the DOCTORS
curiosity being aroused, he put his foot
on ole of tse pieces of paper which
happened to fall at his feet, and as
Washington walked away transferred it
to his pocket. On reaching his own
quarters he found the words written
were, Victory or Death. This phrase
was given out the next day to the troops
as the conntersign.-[ [Lippincott's Mag

Statistics OF Human Life.

According to a French statistician,
taking the mean of many accounts, a
man so years of age has slept6 900 days,
worked 800 days, walked 800 days,
was eating 1,500 days, was sick 500 days,
etc. He ate 1900 pounds of bread, 49,
600 pounds of meat, 4,600 pounds of We.
getables, eggs. and fish, and drank 1000
gallons of liquid, namely, water, coffee,
tea, beer, wine, etc.. altogether. This
would make respectable lake of 300
square feet surface and 8 feet deep, on
which small steamboat could navigate.
And all this solid and liquid material
passing through a human being in so
years! Verify, there is after all some
truth in the story of the ogre who drank
lake dry, to catch the afugitives that
were sailing over it. Any man can do
the same-Only give him timeI
This estimate is, however, made for a
frenchman; for an American we have
to modify it, by lessening the number OF
days he devotes to amusements. and in
place of this substitute 1000 days for
quietly speculating how to get more of
the almighty dollar, 800 days in travel
ing by steam and horse power, and 200
days in waiting for means of transpor-
tation. The latter number is by no
means over estimated for the inhabi-
tants of New York, Philadelphia, or
other large cities of the Ufiion.-T Man

the crop of 1869, as there were imported
to foreign ports breadstuffs to the value
of 81 ,l34 ,237 in the five last months of
1859 oUer the amount during the parallel
months of 1858.
In connection with this subject we
have some facts gathered by the Buffalo
IN. " express, at the great grain en-
porlum for that section of the country.
From these we learn that the best au-
thorltles claim that mot more than one
tnlrd OF the usual amount of winter
wheat was sown last fall in Indiana and
Illinois, and that in many parts of these
states the wheat which was sown is rem
resented as being almost entirely killed
out by the alternate freezing and thaw-
ing which has characterized the winter
IN the West, as elsewhere, and vet the
people, on account of the abundant har-
vest OF last season, do no. awaken to the
necessity ofsowing spring wheat" Sim
ilar reports are made as to the wheat crop
In Its section by the Michigan Farmer,
tine writer having been very severe on
wheat, which was thin and light in the
lali, and the crop, where it can be seen,
IS not promising" The Express, quoted
aoove, adds, "it is evident that the crop
OF Wheat ior the present year will be
AN" ~ ohOulu De, unless there
is good breadth sown this spring.n
which is not likely to be the case from
the backwardness of the spring. Farmers
seem not to realize that full crop one
year will likely be followed by "a light
one. with good prices, the next.
The Mark Lane Express England
says that the corn crop in the United
States, which is estimated at 25, ,OOO, 900
quarters, has raised the price above the
value of wheat, so that "the slightest
damage to the wheat crop in the Uuited
states would doubtless bring a host of
speculators into the market and easily
cause rise of los per quarter"
From reliable data, at Chicago, the
average corn crop of the country is esti-
mated at $50, ,000, 900 bushels. Not more
than two per cent. of this is exported ::
but the crop of 1869 was but $50. .OOO, 900
bushels, or III per cent. of the average.
1t therefore follows that we shall not
only have none for export, but that our
home supply will fall short about 20 per
cent; and the anomalous fact is also pre-
sented that in sales made in Chicago in
March "the bushel of Sc pounds, of corn
sold at 7S cents, or S1.30 per 100 pounds,
while the same grade of wheat sold at
144 cents per bushel of 80 pounds, or
Sl.26 per 100 pounds" These facts are
worthy the consideration of farmers. as
they pointvery significantly to the fu-
ture advance in these great staples ofthe
country.-l Baltimore American.

The Massachusetts Registration Re-
port for 1868 is just pubiished-rather
late it seems. There were SO, 1913 births
! in the State. In Berkshire, Eampden,
MiddleseX, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Wor-
cester counties the babes of foreigners
out-numbered the babies OF natives.-
In fOrty-three towns there were no births
OF foreign parentage. The marriages
in 1868 were l3, $50 couples. November
was the great marrying month, and
after that October, December. and leafy
June. The fewe5t marriages were i'll
! March, and the next lowest months
were August and July. There were 23i
males married under the age of 20 years;
13 between IS and SO years; and 3 stood
up at the altar who were over so. Three
females over 50 years were also married,
and Others over 40 years, while the
number of brides under 20 years was
1888. Two females under 20 found hus-
bands over 90 years of age. or the
brides under 20, eight were married the
second time. OF the girls married, 8

the age of l6, and l3 boys were but one
year older. a girl of II was married to
man more than three times her own

Sometime.

1t is a sweet, sweet song, warbled to
ami fro among the topmOst boughs of
the heart, and filling the whole air with
such joy and gladness as the songs of
birds do when the summer morning
comes out OF darkness, and day is born
on the mountains. We have all our pos
sessions in the future, which we call
sometime" Beautiful flowers and
singing birds are there, only our hands
seldom grasp the one, or our ears hear
tile other. But, OH, reader be of good
cheer, for all the good there is q golden
"sometime;;" when the hills and valleys
of time are all passed; when the wear
and fever, the disappointments and sor-
row of life are over, then there is the
place and the rest appointed of God. Oh,
homestead over whose roof fall no shad-
ows or even clouds; aud over whose
threshold the voice of sorrow is never
heard; built upon the eternal hills, and
standing with thy spires and pinnacles
of celestial beauty among the palm trees
of the city on high, those who love God
shall rest under thy shadows. where
there is no more sorrow nor pain, nor
the sound of weeping sometime. y

IN SORROW

Nv SORROW
When thou art sorrowful and cares around
When thou believst cen brightest things can
lend
The saddest echo to the gayest lays
As men of old were led with angels food,
Go, seek thy remedy in doing good.
When those to thee the dearest shall have died
And each fresh day grows weary TO thine eyes;
When every hope that others build upon
Comes to thy senses with sad surprise
Take up the burden of another's grief
Learn from another's pain thy woes relief.
Mourner, believe that sorrow may be bribed
With tribute from the heart, not signs nor
tears,
But nobler sacrifce-of helping hands.
OF cheering smiles, of sy ympathetic ears.
Oft have the saddest words the sweeter
In angels music let thy soul complain.
Then Grief shall stand with half-averted foot
Upon the threshold of a brighter day;
And Hope shall take her sweetly by the hand,
And both kneel down with Faith to meekly
Lifted from earth, Peace shall immortalize
The heart that its own anguish purifses.
Patience is the ballast of the soul, that
will keep it from rolling and tumbling
in the greatest storms; and he that will
venture out without this to make him
soil evenly and steadily, will certainly
make shipwreck and drown himself first
in the cares and SORROWS of the world,
and then in perdition.
BY mans words and expressions,
YOU may know him. Each man has his
measure for everything. This he I'M
guardedly offers you in his words. He
who has superlative for everything,
has no measure for the great or small.
One pound OF gold may be drawn in
to q wire that would extend round the
globe. So one good deed may be felt
through all time, and cast its influence
into all eternity. Though done in the
first flush of youth, it may gild the last
hour of long life, and form the brightest
spot in it.
Honesty is never gained or lost sud-
denly, or by accident. Moral strengt h
or moral weakness takes Ipossession of
us by slow and imperceptible degree es.
IL is always safe to trust those who can
trust themselves. but when man sus-
poets his own integrity, it is time he was
suspected by others. Moral degradation
always begins at home.
Do the best we can, we must not ex-
pect every one to be friendly TO us; for
some will hate us because others love '
us.
There will be mistakes in divinity
while men preach, and errors in gov

A w ord for BOYS.

My young friend, did you ever know
can you call to mind single case Of
a person who, having his own way to
make in the world, spent his time in the
street, in billiard saloons, around hotels,
or in any form of dissipation or idleness,
to succeed in an eminent degree in any
enterprise? LCok over your list of
friends and acquaintancesan and note their
course. Do you not find upon examine
ton that those who to-day are men of
influence and honor, were the youths
who made the most valuablestime turn
ing it to good account? and, on the other
hand, do you not find. those who stood
at the corners with a cigar or pipe in
their mouths, went from bad to worse,
from worse to ruin? Sadly must the
answer be made-oh, that it were not so
they have failed. Will you not profit
by the experience of others ? Go not
that way. Never be idle. Every mo-
ment of your time is golden one, use il
as such; improve the mind; fixyour eyes
on some noble object; be men. The call
is for men; will you not be one of that
number who can say-"I am O man?'
