Love, a Force.

The tendency of men to use brute
force is matter for observation for
those who think at all. Men think they
make proficiency by using force where
they deal with matter it is so. There
should be a great distinction made be-
tween acting upon minds and acting
upon matter. .....-. -.
Now Christianity comes in to teach
men to work by seeming weakness.
Christianity would speak gently would

Webster and Ewing

The late Hon. Thomas Ewing Aoquir,
ed the Sobrig,tet of solitude Ewing"
from a speech he made in the Senate of
the United States, at time when the
country laborcd uuder great financial
embarrassment and distress. In refer
ence to the paralysis of commerce, bo
spoke with some extravaganza of the
Northern lakes as Solitude" and the
usual haunts of business rs "wildcr-
ness" From this circumstances he was
called in derision for years afterwards
SOLITARY Ewing" by bis political adyer-
slries. Next to Mr.. Webster, he was
perhaps the most profound lawyer of his
age. Between these gentlemen there ex-
sted during their lives the most cordial
personal and political sympathies. An
estimable lady OF our city who was
much in fashionable society in Washing
ton during the administrations of Gen.
Taylor, Mr.. Fillmore and Gen. Pierce,
relates to us the following interesting in,
cident, which ..took place at one of the
receptions of Mr.. Ewing, when be was
Secretary of the Interior, under Gen.
Taylor, and of which she was a witness
The stately saloons of the Secretary
were crowded to excess. Mr.. Ewing
occupied position in the centre of The
reception room, where each guest upon
entering approached and made his saluta-
tions. AT moment when there was
scarcely breathing space about the per-
son OF the Secretary, and all the rooms
were crowded to excess, Mr.. Webster
made his appearance, and the crowd in
voluntarily pressed back that the dis
tinguished Secretary of State might pay
his respects to his equally ilustrous col
league. Mr. Ewing saw Mr.. Webster
approaching and extended his hand but
Mr.. Webster, instead of taking it, turn
ed his deep grand eyes upon the multi
tude, and raising aloft bis own hands,
exclaimed with most solemn emphasis
"Oh solitude where are the charms
That sages have seen In thy face?
Better dwell in the midst of alarms
Than reign in this horrible place"
Mr.. Webster warmly grasped the ex,
tended hand of Mr.. Ewing, who, with
all his surrounding friends, enjoyed
heartily the aptness of Mr.. Webster's
quotation.-MaySoMe Bulletin. .....

Two MEALS A DAY.-If any man or
woman, of forty-fve or over, not engag.
ed in hard manual labor, especially the
studious, sedentary indoor llvers, would
take but two meals day for one month,
the second not being later than three in
the afternoon, and absolutely nothing af
terward, except in some cases it might
be an orange, lemon, or ice-cream, or cup
IF warm drink, such as tea, broma, or
sugar water, there would be such a
change for the better in the way Of
sleep, a feeling on waking of having re-
tired, an appetite for breakfast and buoy
ancy of disposition during the day, that
few, except the animal and glutton,
would be willing to go back to the flesh
pots OF Egypt. ar- aaa
Ben Wade, as he is Familiarity called,
one of the political lions of the West,
has taken but two meals day for the
last twenty years; and if all sedentary
persons, would, after the age of forty
FIVE, observe the same infexible rule,
there can be no doubt, other things be-
ing equal, that long years of exemption
from the ordinary ills of life would be
the result. The reason is that the stom-
ach would have time to rest, for recu-
peration, and would thus be able to per-
form its part more thoroughly, making
purer blood, giving better sleep, and se-
curing a good appetite for breakfast.
Let any man try it for ten days, taking
the second meal seven hours after the
first, and abandon the practice if he can.

The Golden Rule.


iNPRoyED PROM MODERN AUTnoRITIEa,
Be you to others kind and true,
AS you'd have others be TO you.
And neither do nor say to men
Whate'er you would not like again,
But If men do and say 10 you
That which is neither kind or true,
Take good stick, and say to men,
Don't say or do that same again"

Dr. Updegraff, of Sunbury, while chang
ing cars at Lock Haven recently, missed
his footing and fell across the track,
breaking one of his arms below the elbow.
He set the broken limb himself and i'm
mediately took the cars for home.
Recently at McKee's Gap, in Blair Co.,
a butcher named Barr, slipped and rolled
down a pair Of steps in front of his house.
AS he tumbled headlong hatchet flew
from his hand and its downward course
struck him in the neck, severing his Jug
ular vein. He bled TO death in a few min
utes.
On last Friday evening week, Mrs.
Hershey, wife of James l.. Hershey, resid-

shoulder, which in the fall struck the end
of a trough.

down, when two of them charged with

the others.-Register.

on the committee named by Hon. r. j.
Halderman, to examine the candidates for

the President Judgeship of the District
prevent him giving his attention to this
matter.
On last Thursday night we had four
kinds of weather. A snow storm of four
inches, a slight rain, a freeze and a thaw,
all between sun set and sun rise. Since
then the sleighing has been good.

School Troubles in Madison Township.

Mr.. Edtor-We think it is pretty well
known how school house matters are in
Madison township, but there may still be a
few people that are not acquainted with the
workings of our school Board. Last sum-
mer the Board erected fine school house
at Centre, and a new Board came into pow
er through chiseling, (as they called it) and
abused some of the old Board so bad, that
they had to resign, and new members were
put in who favored moving the school house,
Two of the present Board stood firm in op-
position to the removal, but were overpow-
cred. On Friday the 18th inst, they made
a desperate attempt to haul away the house,
but failed as one of their teams got loose
and ran away, and broke horses leg
The horse, which belonged to Daniel Earn
est, had to be killed. The moving party
looked very sad and in fact would not have
looked more so, if they had been attending
funeral.
The Captain who commanded the squad
thought that they were going to walk tight
off with the house without the people
knowing it, but he missed it, as il would
not 60 as easy as they thought. There was
a large crowd of people on the ground that
day, and the day previous, to see the mov-
ing managerie, but were disappointed, we
knew that they could not get off the stand
with the amount of horses they had which
was Is living and one dead. The Captain
and his party retreated in tolerably good
order, and removed their dead as they re-
treated. To be continued.
