NEWSPAPER STEALINGs. The Inde-
pendent for some time past has obtained
Its local news almost entirely from orr
columns, and as long as this was contin-
ed mainly to shorter locals, we content
ed ourselves with the reflection that its
readers were better served in this way
than they could be by any other course
that paper could pursue. But when the
IndependeHt copies our more important
locals verbatim, and without credit, we
must protest against such wholesale
stealing. The account of the casualty
at Pittsford, Thursday, is taken bodily
from The HERALD, while the first part
OF the notice of the burning of the store
and post office at Dandy is, in like man.
ner, taken withan absurd typographical
error, made in correcting proof, and all
printed as original matter. We are will
ling to furnish most of the reading matter
Tor the independent, as usual, but must
protest against contributing all beside
the ''p0tent iRlOards.' -

The Brewing of Soma.
By JOHN q WHITTIER.

The fagots blazed, the caldron's smoke
! Up through the green wood curled:
Bring honey from the hollow oak,
Bring milky sap the brewers spoke,
In the childhood of the world.
And brewed they well or brewed they ill.
The priests thrust in their rods,
First tasted, and then drank their fill,
And shouted, with one voice and will.
behold the drink of godsF
They drank, and 10 in heart and brain
A new, glad life began;
The gray of hair grew young again,
The sick man laughed away his pain.
The cripple leaped and ran.
Drink, mortals. what the gods have sent
Forget your long annoy"
so sang the priests. From tent to tent
The Soma's sacred madness went.
4 storm of drunken ioy.
Then knew each rapt inebriate
a winged and glorious birth,
SCARED upward, with strange JOY elata.
Beat with dazed head, Varuna's gate.
And, sobered, sank to earth.
The land with Soma's praises rang
On Gihon's banks of shade
Its hymns the dusky maidens sang:
In Joy of life or mortal pang
All men to Soma prayed.
The morning twilight of the race
Sends down these matin psalms:
And still with wondering eyes we trace
The simple prayers to Soma's grace.
That Nedlc verse cmbalmS.
As in that child-world's early wear.
Each after age has striven
By music, incense, vigils drear,
And trance, to bring the skies more near.
Or lift men up to heaven
some fever of the blood and brain.
Some SRlf-aX1ItinCy smell
The scourger,s keen delight of pain.
The dervish dance. the Orphic strain.
The wild-haired BaCchant's Yell,
The deserts hair-grown hermit sunk
The saner brute below;
The naked Santon, harshish-drunk.
The cloister madness of the monk;
The fakir'S torture show!
And yet the past comes round again.
And new doth old fulfill;
In sensual transports wild as vain
we brew III many Christian fame
The heather Soma still!
Dear Lord and Father of mankind.
Forgive our foolish ways!
Reclothe us in our Tightful mind.
In purer lives thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
In simple trust like theirs who heard
Beside the Syrian sea
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word.
Rise up and follow thee.
. Sabbath rest by Galilcc!
o calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
The silence of eternity
Interpreted by lOve'
With that deep hush SuDduing all
Our words and works that drown
The tender whisper of thy call,
As nOiseless let thy blessing fall
AS fell thy mamma down.
Drop thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace.
Breathe through the hearts of our desire
Thy GOODNESS and thy BALM
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind. and
fire,
o still, small voice of calm.

SATURDAY, MARCH %, 1872.
Give Way n Little.

In the crowded streets of large town,
where multitudes are passing in opposite
directions, while some are passing oblique-
ly and others at right angles, it is neces-
sary for every one to give little to
those he meets; by which means they
will have free passage. Were the
whole multitude to pass directly onward
without yielding an inch of ground to
anybody else, all would be DISTRACTED
more or less and confusion must ensue.
Or if a churlish, arbitrary and unyield-
Ing individual should take it into his head
to march forward in a straight line, and
in no case make way for man, woman
or child, nor even for a procession, he
would be sure to jostle against some one
or other at almost every step, and would
receive many an insult and hard blow
for his obstinacy and impudence.
And very much 50 is it in our journey
through life, and with respect to our
general intercourse with mankind. In
the march of life no one mans path is SO
clear as not in some degree to cross an
others and if each is determined, with
uuyieldlng sturdincss to keep his own
line, 1t is impossible but he must give
and receive many rude shock. In So
ctety, in ncighbOrhOOds, in business, with
those in his employ and even among
close friends there would spring up
riyalrles, and be sometimes close line
Of opinions and if all were mutually
obstinate and dictatorial, there could be
no bounds or end to contention or bois-
ferrous strife. Whereas, by the exercise
Of mutual condescension, social harmony
is preserved and the pleasures of society
aud business enjoyed.
Courtesy Of manners is the congruous
lrapery of a benevolent mind, Eand is
both seeming and pleasing at all times,
and In every relation of life. Nor does
it need any laborious study to attain. A
great part Of the essence of courtesy, or
Of genuine politeness is expressed in just
three words, "never prefer yourself"
IHE French COMMERCIAL TREATY.-
The government of the French republic

expiration The formal notice of re-
nunciation, provided for in the treaty
itself, will be served on the English gov
eminent. and the instrument be permit
ted to expire by non-renewal, according
TO its own limitation The French peo-
pie seem to be more in national accord
with regard to the policy of taxing raw
materials imported for textiles than they
We're q short time since, and the oppo-
sition have toned down very consid- ,
erab'y. The committee of the French
Assembly was Influenced in its action
considerably by study of the system of
the United States, as observed before
and after the Union war. This action
of Theirs and the republic may produce
most important consequences in Europe. /

CURIOUS SHOWER OF WORMS. During
the snow storm, ON Friday last, there
are said to have fallen with the flakes,
in Someryille, thousands of greenish-
brown worms, about an inch in length
and an eighth of an inch in diameter.
When they fell they were curled upinto
a ball shape, but were alive and very ac-
tive. Specimens were sent to the Museum
of Comparative Zoology for examination
and classification. The report from
there will be looked to with interest, as
the occurrence most singular one.

POST OFFICE BURNED.

POST OFFICE BURNED.
The store of William Pierce of Dandy,
with the back buildings and nearly it's
entire contents, were entirely destroyed
by fire shortly after twelve o'clock Fri
day morning The store was also occu-
pied as the post office. Mr.. Fisk, the
clerk Of Mr.. Pierce being postmaster,
and, it is understood, that the entire mail
matter therein was consumed.
The fire was discovered about mid
night by Robert Neil, who lived near by
and was awakened by the smell of smoke.
The alarm was given at once, but when
the store was reached it was found that
the inside Of the store was completely
cnvelopcd in flames, 50 that it was inn
possible to force all entrance OF to re-
move any of the goods. The store was
filled with large and valuable stock of
goods which were entirely consumed,
with the exception OF a small quantity,
stored in the rear store, which were re-
moved before the flames reached them.
The loss on the building and stock is
estimated at from six to eight thousand
dollars, which is partially covered by in
surancC.
The condition Of Mr. Pierces books
and papers has not, at the present writ
ing, been ascertained as they were kept
in one of Lillie's large bank safes. which
is now lying amid the red hot debris of
the store, but they will undoubtedly be
found uninjured by the frey ordeal
through which they have passed,
The origin of the fire IS a. vet IN
known.
Since writing the above we learn that
the loss will exceed $4,000 and that
the insurance is 50. 900.

FoRrT SPEEcHEs.-In two days de-
bate upon the subsidy question in Con-
gress, there were no less than forty
speeches foI and against the measure.
They have followed each other in quick
succession. Notwithstanding this dcbat-
ing school, they have not settled the
question Of how the Government shall
revive our commcrce-whethcr by lcgis-
lation for inducements or by abandoning
its honorod policy of protection to its
laborera. Whether in the mine, the fac.
tory or the shipyards, or by leaving the
matter to self-regulation by natural laws.
But if they have not settled this, they
have at least brought into prominent re-
lief the different oratorical powers of
the giants in the House; and that is
something and something substantial

WILLIAMS COLLEGE. At Williams
College a new and important step has
been taken toward materially and per
manently reducing the expenses of the
students. BY private subscriptions and
by the appropriation of funds by the
trustees, spacious boarding house is in
course of erection, to be opened with
the fall term, in which good board is to
be provided, not to exceed So so per
week. This, together with the remission
of tuition to all who require such aid,
will bring the expenses of education at
this venerable institution Of learning to
very low figure.

PREMATURE BURIAL. The danger of
premature burial is very great During
the past few months number of cases
have been noted in the papers, where the
supposed dead person was rescued at the
last moment, and thus saved from Il
death In the most horrible description.
Last week Tuesday child died at Penn
berton, WHOSE Illness had been attended
with incZplicable symptoms The child
was daughter OF Mr. Williams and
was about four months old when She
was taken i'll with Group. She was in
dangerous state for some time, and on
Wednesday, she seemingly expired. \
coffin was procured and a grave was dug
IN the cemetery. On Friday last,
short time before the funeral, the child
suddenly Coughcd and instantly opened
her eyes. The coffin was returned to
the undertaken, and hopes were enter
tanned that the child, So strangely spared
from burial might regain it, health.
Monday, however, she died. and her
parents, after waiting for another re-
turn t. life until there could be no
reasonable hope, inferred the body in the
grave opened the week before.

BRAVE PHOTOGRAPHERS N SEARCH OF
FROST VIEWS. The 4ryus and Potrjot
of Montpelier, gives an interesting ac-
count of the perils and 5ufferings of d
Vermont photographer and two assist
ants who brayed the porils and terrors
Mounts Mansfield and Camels Hump in
February for the purpose of obtaining
views of the frost traCery. They made
their way to Cancels Hump, dragging
their chemicals, apparatus and food on
a handsled. Their supply of food gave
out shortly after arriving at their des-
tination, and for thirty-six hours they
ate nothing. But they were brave and
determined, and carried away some fine
views of Jack Frost'S beautiful work.
They afterward assembled Mount Mans
fed At the Rayine House they found
the snow fifteen feet deep, and were an
hour and half in travelling half mile.
The wind was so terrific that one of the
party was carried distance of fifteen
rods by a sudden gust. At the summit
they again had to battle with old Bore
as, but finally made the descent after
succeeding in taking some good views.
Two of the party froze their ears, feet
and hands.
