Too Late

On account of u going to press a
day earlier than usual, this week, the
letter from u LeWisburg CORES
pondent come to hand toe late for
publication. We are glad to receive
all NEWS" in the county and will
publish it ch~eerfuiiy, but correspond
ents should bSarin mind that "PUFFs"
of business houses does not come un-
der that head. Advertising is the
life of our trade, and if these gentle
men at L%ewisburg, wish the public to
know what business they are in and
what they are doing, we will insert a
Card for each of them at S. per an
mum. As the letter is principally
made up of "putfs," of course we cam
not publish it. We will, as we said
before, be glad to have all the news of
Lewisburg and Euphemia, dished up
and sent to us for publication.

SUNDAY NIGHT,
solemn stiffness fills the air; the
last gentle twitter of the birds is hush

"r fn The is h @'GE they the world OF {! abroad
Heavens benediction seems falling
on the sleeping earth, SO sweet, SO low
thatno ripple disturbs the calm oflife's
silent sea. But bark some chord
gives tone as to III angels touch. Has
the unconscious hand of some hover
ing cherubim fallen upon lis harp ? or
has some strain from the heavenly
choir found a rift in the armament,
and gently moved a wave of sound2-
We cannot tell. We listen earnestly,
perchance it may come again. Hank!

than before and listen still another

same. Has echo thrown wide her

thousand avern givin it welcome P
No, no this voice of heavenly sweet
ness is of earth it is the call to prayer.
With one accord the avenues that mark
the way to temples consecrated to ho-
ly use, are thronged with eager wor-
shippers fastening to the house of God.
There the plying Savior meets with
smiles of u~nvarying sweetness, the
,guileless Necodemus and the repented
Magdalene. "Whosoever cometh I'M

What gracious promise could
suffering, wretched mortal ask?
The promise for darkness, dawn for
sorrow, joy for weakness, strength for
disappointment, hope for turmoil. No
wonder, then, that ministering angels,
harp in hand, bear the sound of these
sweet bells to mortal ears. Their
harps catch the sound and it becomes
music not of earth but heaven.
The bells have ceased, and from ma
ny a sacred temple ascends the voice
of prayer and praise. Rejoicing angels
bear its harmony toward heaven, and
intermingle with its earthborn chords
the matchless harmony of the new son.
We cannot fellow further; none but
the redeemed can know that song
How many Sunday nights ere we
shall listen to that song in the temple

Tha nr..atnaod sdna desianratnm

The greatneed and desideratum TO
progress in Eaton is more extensive
misunderstanding. The more a commu-
nifty produces the more it becomes
self-sustaiiring, and in proportion to
ats exports is its substantial p%rosperi-
ty m~easureda Manufacturing stands
in relation to the towpror city as does
the driving wheel to a complicated
piece Of machinery. Its importance
to a beautiful and growing county
seat town like Eaton, can scarcely be
overestimated, yet it is a fact that our
manufacturing pursuits are but a trife
compared with what they should be,
surrounded and supported as we are
by as fine, rich and productive scope
of country as can be found anywhere.
Our interests demands that manutac-
turing be increased to that extent that
our population would be swelled by
hundreds of operators, honest me-
chanics who make good citizens and
build up a town. We must produce
and sell of u own work, before the
ommu1lityteanA&realize1any tangible
gain or advancement. Otherwise we
are compelled to pay tribute to other
towns-become the pensioners of the
manufactures of other cities, who
receive andfatten off of the product of
u fine lands, through the formula of
mercantile exchange, leaving our own
town as poverty-stricken and barren of
improvements at the end of each year
as it was at its opening. We must
turn our mechanical genius, muscle
and raw material into money, and get
that money from abroad through ex-
portation, on in the home use of the
manufactured article, thus cutting off
the heavy drain for importations.

Sudden Death.

A superb Christmas Number,

The December number Of the Peoples Month
ly' of Pittsburgh, Pa, is just to hand, and we must
confess TO a surprise. No such fine, or elegant il
lustre ted paper, has ever appeared out of New
York, while it challenges comparison with any
thing published in that city. The new type, new
"heads," and tinted paper look. admirably. This
Christmas number has a supplement of. eight
pages (making twenty-four in al,) and is abso-
iutely. crowded with fine Illustrations, and inter-
esting letters, stories, poems &C., appropriate to
the season. The. Household and boy and Girls
dep artments, are of especial interest. In fact. the
whole paper is gotten up for the home and the
family; and Is pure, bright and wholesome. This
Monthly, we must say; is a credit to the West, and
should receive a hearty and generous Western sup
port. Agents wanted everywhere and large COM
missions paid. Send for sample and circular

Court.

All of last week was occupied in
the trial of Daniel McGlynn. The evil
dence and argument closed on Satur-
dav afternoon. The Judge charged
the Jury and they retired, and were
out about -four hours, when they re-
turned a verdict of manslaughter. A
motion for a new trial was made and
will be argued to-day, (Thursday) to
which time Court adjourned.
