The Folly of Attempting to Continue
Young.

Once foy all, there is no misery
80 distressfnl as the desperate
agony of trying to keep young
when one can't I know an old
bachelor who has attempted it
His affectation of youth, like all af-
fections, is a melancholy failure.
He plies innocent young ladies
with the pretty compliments and
soft nothings in vogue when he
was a spoony youth of twenty.
The fashion Of talking to young
ladies has changed within thirty
years, you know, and this aged
boys soft nothings seem more out
of date than a two-vear-old bon
me-. They make you think some
how, of that time honored frog.
story wherein is set forth the dis
covery of galvaLic electricity
When you see his old fashioned
young antics-his galvanic gallan-
try, so to speak--and hear the
speeches he makes to girls in their
teens, when he ought to be to them
like father, YOU involuntarily call
him an old idiot, and long to re-
mind him of that quaint rebuke of
grand old Johu, Thou talkest like
one upon whose head the shell is to
this very day
That is how he seems. He is
old enough to have been almost
full-fledged before you were born
and here he is trying to make
believe that he is still in the days
of his gosling green, WITH the shell
sticking on his head to this day !!
1t is q melancholy absurdity. One
can't be young unless one is young.
Only once is it given to US to be
untried and soft, and guising and
superlative, and when the time
comes Tor it all to 60, no sors of
effort can hold back the fieeting
days.-From the June number of
Lippincott's Magazine.

The Republican Record.

The Democratic chiefs at WASH
ington have issued to the country an
Impeachment of the Republican par
ty, which is merely condensation
of the annual prolamations they
issued in the rear of the Union ar
my during the war, and have yearly
repeated since 1t is an affair OF
words and wind about two columns
long AS the Democratic press will
now be busy in forcing it upon the
attention of the people, we would
send out with it to the people the
real record of the Republican party,
as summed up in the brief para
graphs of a floating article origina-
ting from a source to US unknown.
AS actions are louder than words,
and the Republican party has been
party Of action, the briefer the
statement the better. Let candid
! Democrats, who would accept of
truth wherever found, and condemn
false witness whenever offered,
take this short and unimpeachable
J statement of sublime record, and
! compare it with the document OF
denunciation, made up Of palpable
nntruths and the glittering gener
alities of unsustained charges,
which their party isnow presenting
to them. We submit this, without
speech. The Republican party
can safely go upon trial without an
advocate to bolster or defend. The
results it has achieved, grand and
towering. stand before the people
in such stately proportions that
they need not be pointed out In
the record Of the Republican party
lies its power as much as in its
principles. Strike Republicanism
upon its record, and you strike
dead upon the strongest coat Of
mail the American ever wore. Its
armor has no vulnerable point, as
its shield has none weak Here is
the good bridge upon which it has
come to its present position and
power, and the strog foundations
on which it stands TO day. Let all
men compare this with the Demo
cratic Indictment, weigh we'll the
two statements in the balance of
history as they remember the facts
for themselves, and from the YER
dict made up On such candid con-
sideration the Republican party
will make no appeal:
A gigantic rebellion suppressed.
Armies of a million raised and
disbanded
Four million of slaves set free.
Labor made free and honorable.
Universal liberty and equal civil
and political rights for the first
time secured by constitutional
amendments
The States that broke their con-
nection reconstructed and re-
stored.
Taxation frequently reduced, the
last reduction being eighty mill
ions year.
The national debt greatly redued,
over two hundred million of the
reduction taking place under the
presenG Administration
The national credit raised at
home and abroad.
The prices of gold brought
steadily downward.
The revenues vigilantly collect
ed and honestly disbursed
The perfect citizenship Of all
adopted citizens for the first time
perfected by settling the doctrine
of expatriation.
The Monroe doctrine vindicated
in the case of the French invasion
Of Mexico.
Peace maintained, ana the nation
al character kept in the highes
respect throughout the world

A ROTATING DRINKER.--An ex

A clergyman in Massachusetts,
Who hes seen his two score and
ten, was compfimented on his hale
and youthful looks the other day.
Smiling, he touched his handsome
brown hair, and replied
You know they have q way of
helping old men little these days
What said his friend; have
you been coloring your hair2'
'Yes, replied he; 4 have been
doing what once though nothing
would induce me to do. / have
been turning my gray hair,.brown-
and will tell you how / was bro't
to it,
After leaving my position as
-, proposed to go back into
the ministry and became parish
minister. Accordingly, as l had
opportunity, preached to some
few destitute churches, and was
gratified to hear at the conclusion
Of my services that the people
were well pleased with nay preach
ing, and but for my gray hair
would gladly have me for their
pastor; but they could not think of
SO old man. Well, while i was
going through this experience, an
old friend suggested to me to color
my hair, and thus remove from
the eyes OF the people the reproach
Of being an old man. And l con-
sented, finally, to make this ex-
pertinent. And what do you think?
The very first time that preached
with brown hair upon my head. l
was greeted with call to settle in
the ministry, AMI have ever since
been the happy pastor of a united
and apparently perfectly satisfied
people.
SO much for the color of ones
hair-so much in proof that looks
are something. after all, notwith-
standing the old proverb that looks
are nothing and behavior all.

OBITUARY.
BY C. F. cor FIN.

"7he one shall be taken and the other
left.'
For more than three years past,
Judson R. Osgood has been as
sociated with the writer on the
Board or Control of the House OF
Refuge, and since the first of the
present year we have been the only
members of the Board Gas the
one that is left,' a short tribute to
his memory is due from me. He
was an admirable business man,
quick of perception, prompt in &C
ton, Of good judgment, and un-
firing industry--it is not wonder
ful that he rose, by his own un-
aidel exertions, to prominence and
prosperity in business. With a
decided manner he united O loving
heart, and possessed the power to
control men in his employ, or chill
dren in the Sabbath school, with
rare ability and success, bringing
all under his own magic Influence.
He was open and transparent in
his dealipgs--not given to decep-
ton or hypocrisy, but honest and
upright, yet careful, prudent and
not neglectful Of his own interests.
AS christian, be was remarkable
for his earnestness, the fullness of
his faith. and the depth of his spir
ituality. Religion with him was
not theory, but living power
which entered into his every day
lie, was interviewer with all his
transactions, and regulated his
conduct. He looked upon life as
real, and did what his hands found
to do with his might, and he was
constantly finding something to do
in the service of our blessed Saw

Newspaper Postage.

Subscribers to newspapers will
find the following information, fur
nished by a postmaster, valuable.
-ED iAi
There seems to be a misunder-
standing in regard to postage; &C..
in the minds of many subscribers
10 newspapers who remove to an
other Office.
When a subscriber to a news
paper or other periodical removes,
or for any reason wishes to receive
his mail at another Office, he should
write to the publisher request him
to charge the address of his peril
odical, stating the office from as
we'll as the one to which it is to be
changed, and if he has paid the
postage at the first Office, he should
take a receipt from the postmaster
for the amount and exhibit it to
the postmaster at tho Office to
which his mail is to be changed.
If he does not have the address
changed as above, but orders the
postm aster to forward them, the
result will be that he will have ex-
ira postage to pay on them at the
rate OF two cents for each four
ounces or fraction of four ounces
on all such matter SO forwarded,
in addition to the postage at regu-
lar quarterly rates, which latter
rates the forwarding postmaster
would have to collect before re-
mailing.
The following is copy Of the
decision of the firss assistant post
master general, bearing on this
subject, copied from the United
States Mail
WASHINGTON, Sept. II 1869.
'SIR--In reply to your letter Of
the 18th inst, you are informed
that letters may be forwarded to
person who has changed his post
office address without additional
charge Of postage. Periodicals
and newspapers, however, can not
be thus forwarded; they must be
charged with postage at the rate Of
two cents for every four ounces or
fraction thereof, to be prepaid or
collected on delivery.

A Sad Message from the Sea.

It must now soon he three wears
since the steamship United King
dom, of the Anchor Line, WAS lost
at sea on it's voyage from New
York to Glasgow. Nothing was
ever heard Of hel; she might, per
haps, have put into some port in
distress, have run short If coal,
her machinery have been derang
ed or broken down, &c and peo-
pie on both sides of the ocean
were 10th to give up the idea that
she would ultimately turn up some
where, with all hands and pas
sengers safe, having suffered only
from a protraeted and tedious
voyage. But their hopes were
frustrated, no news Of her was
ever received, and she disappeared
as suddenly and mysteriously as
the City Of Boston about tw elve-
month later, At last, however,
after the lapse of nearly three
years, we have tidings of her
again. A Mrs. Stancliffc was, the
other day, taking a walk on the
beach Of Rockaway, near New
York, enjoying the cool breeze
from the Atlantic, when she sud
dedly stumbled upon botsle.
tightly corked, which upon being
opened, was found to contain
scrap Of paper, on which was wilt
ten the following:
On board the United Kingdom,
New York to Glasgow.
Mid.ocean. Ship fast settling
down. All hands and passengers
likely to perish, as most OF the
boats are swept away. God help
US.
Should this be picked up, please
report. VIM. RUSSELL,
Third Mate.
This is another waif from the
ocean, telling a sad and oft-repeat-
ed story, so short, and yet so long
and agonizing. in few words
Should this scrawl be genuine, how
many sad recollections and thot's
it will awaken and bring back to
bercaved hearts and orphaned chill
dren! And truly, there is nothing
that 50 sadly touches the chords Of
sympathy in every human heart
as a message from the sea- like
the above.

His faith was unswerving. not ad

PRAYER was remarkable, and so
near was his communion with
Christ that he was ever ready to

pie Of the power to live in active
business, vet to attain high de-
gree Of spiritual life, At the last
meeting of the Board, on the I'd OF
May, after going through the regu-
lar business, walking over the
farm and examining its condition,
discussing the general interests OF
the Institution, watching the boys
at the play and speaking kindly
words to many Of them individual
ly, as we returned home the sub
| iect of death was alluded to. Calm
ly, cody, deliberately he talked of
it, and of what his probable feel
ings would be on its approach -
Without boasting and with humil-
ity, he said the fear Of it was
gone, and that while he desired to
live and glorify God, he was ready
to depart and be with Christ. Lit
tie did we then think that would
be so soon called. His diligent
research in the Bible always in
terested me. After the labor Of
the day, fatigued in body, he
would frequently spend hours in
its study, and succeeded in evolv-
so many truths from it as to give
a freshness to his teaching, and in
struction as to his conversation.
1 never spent any considerable
time with him without feeling that
had learned some lesson. He
went before his Sabbath-school,
his Bible class, or the Convention
thoroughly prepared, and with a
fluent, eloquent tongue, and much
power in the presentation Of truth.
His lessons made deep impress
sion. He was unassuming and
distrustful of himself, always
shrank from public duties, and
often needed the sympathy and
encouragement of those in whom
he confded to engage in them.
During the years we have been
engaged together there was the
most complete harmony in action,
and I feel that one very dear to
me has been called from a life OF
active service to the glorious rest
of heaven. The loss to our Insti
tuition will be severely felt-we
shall miss his counsel, his bright
cheerful countenance, his genial
happy spirit, his sympathizing
heart, and lively conversation.

In the house of her wealthy old father,
