CprGrtunities.

In these Wild regions of the coun-
try-far away from cities and rail
roads-we are very apt to deplore our
lack of opportunities of mental i'm
provement. Lecturers OF note do not
like to leave the lines of rapid travel,
and if they would we are too few and
too poor to pay the high prices they
are accustomed to receive. So we
think half enviously Of our more high
" favored neighbors and wonder that
they should ever neglect their many
privileges.
But are there not privileges and OPP
portunities here that we neglect? Our
woods are near and not only very
beautiful but filed with objects of in
terest that would well repay scientific
investigation. Books on scientific
subjects are now easily obtained; even
the lectures We long for are printed
for our use; so that we need miss
only the experiments and illustra-
tons.
4 few hours in the woods with some
work on botany or ornithology may
give one as many new ideas as one
would get in a visit to a museum
with the additional advantage OF
mountain air and healthful exercise
while good company, which even this
wild country abundantly affords, and
nice lunch. will make Of the excur
sion Il delightful picnic.
EFrvm o,w hills can be seen views
rs lovely as she landscapes in far
famed picture galleries--and instruc
tion in sketching is within the reach
0f almost every one. Even to those
who are confined at home the flowers
the birds, the tiny animals and the
sweet breath Of tie hills comes TO the
doorstep.
Time for study many have not, mo-
would they have that anywhere; anc
some expenditure Of both time anC
labor is necessary to make any i'm
proyement in our condition. The diff
fcultieS in the way ol social improve
ment are greater than in our educa
tional department Graces of man

the marriage excitement is over and

pacity and incorruptible integrity, of all
the elements that make statesmen great.
Was it by trickery that Daniel became

and first of the three Presidents in the

The ignorance Of men and women and
children, nominally Christian, of a great
many characters and events portrayed
in the Sacred Scriptures, is simply de-
plOrable. You cannot find a carpenter
without his rule in his pocket, you will
never catch a stone-mason without his
line or plummet, railroad contractor
without maps and charts somewhere
about him, an editor without his news
paper, but how often do we meet men
and women, nOminally honest, about
whom we can find no trace of this abso-
lutte line of moral action, this plummet
of Divine rectitude, this title-deed to
everlasting inheritance, but must take
it for granted that they have got it
slowed away in some secret pocket.
As long as we have a Government
there must be men to administer it, and
it is for tie interest of everybody that
these men be honest; it is in the power
Of every father and mother in the land
to contribute to this result. Instead of
keeping ont of politics, let every man
act his part in it well and honestly, and
do what he can to make others conduct
in the same manner, let him train his
sons to initiate the demi-gOds of this

Making Honest Politicians.

4 great many people, both men and
women, profess to have perfect hor-
ror OF politics. - They look upon the
modes by which government is carried
on as Il game i'll the hands of shrewd,
INSCRIPTIONS, daring men, who have
! little regard for truth, honesty, or the
real prosperity of the country, but who
are impeIled by love Of lucre, of position
and power. 1t is common to hear poll
ties spoken OF as a Serbonian bog. in
which every man must be mired who
attempts to reach greatness through
that highway.
Now we hold, and we think the jus
tice Of our position can be established.
/ that every man and every woman in the
! republic is responsible to a greater OF
! less extent for corruption in politics.
And more, that it is the duty OF every
| individual to have hand i'll this matter
of purifying politics. How is it to be
done? in the first place. laying The
ak at the foot of the tree;' by beginning
/ at the cradle to inculcate lessons oi

For the JOUHHAL AND ITEM.

\ few years ago there was a flood
on one of the streams Of the "Old
Dominion" 4 row boat was going
here and there to rescue those who
were in danger. The waters were
angrilv rising around q house. hav-
inc cut off all means of escape for the
family within. The boat was rowed
to the house. In it safe passage to
Il secure place was offered to the
wtoIc family. The head Of the
family was disposed to 60 proyid-
ing they would also remove his
money safe. ''Put your safe in the
upper story and come along, -
was the advice given him. But he
would not 90 without his safe, and
his family would not 90 without him;
sothe would-be dtliyercr rowed away,
and in p short time the fierce waters
swelled around that family dwelling,
lifting it from It's foundations. carry
ir~r it out into the river and turning
it over in the deep channel. And so
far as | know not one Of that family
was ever again seen alive.
Mr.. Editor. do YOU not think there
is. at this moment, on the hills and
in the valleys Of our own State, a
food as destructive to the best in
tcrest Of man aS thai alluded to
above? The food Of waters come,
making no distinction of persons, tax
ing men as they are, and leaving their
moral nature as it is found. But
the whiskcy food debases, demor-
allies and ruins 1ocn before it takes
them away. | do not know that
since the days Of Noah there has
been destruction Of sixty thousand
lives in any nation during one year
ana yet that number OF more 90 down
to a drunkard's grave every year in
our country. In the wide world is
there amy other cause ofso much pov-
erty, crime and misery as that Of in
temperance? And why is this? Stop
the manufacture and sale OF intoxi-
eating drinks as a beverage, and
three-fourths, perhaps nine-tenths OF
the resulting evils will be stopped
the times seems TO be coming to
vote down this dreadful evil. Potter
county has done well, and now We
lave three. other counties near bv
forbidding the draffic within theil
bounds. But why not have a state
law, constitution Gorbidding it?

The Right triumphant.


The maiorities given ogGjnst license
To sell intoxicating drinks il Clear.
field, Bradford, Susquchanna, Tioga
jefferson, Cameron and M'Kean coun.
ties, is very significant and full Of en-.
couragement to the friends of good
order, peace and prosperity. The
vote i'll Clearfeld county is especially
significant. 1t is one of the iron-clad
Democratic counties. 1t is the home
Of Senator Wallace, who is the con
trolling spirit of the Democratic par
ty of Pennsylvania. This vote means
that the Democratic party is about
to take "new departure" on the Ii
quor question as it has already done
on the negro question. The Demo
cratic party is no longer to be the ally
Of whatever is bad. Such leaders as
Senator Wallace have resolved that
it shall live and be respected; and
they have sense enough to know that
the party can have no future unless
it shall cut loose from those degrad,
ing influences that have dragged ii
down to its present forlorn condition
These votes lately given against the
legal manufacturing of drunkards
are the first fruits of the new or
der of thought among Democratic
leaders. We hail it as the harbinger
of brighter days. Unless the leaders
of the Republican party shall be
struck with blindness (of which we
apprehend there is no danger) then
we are to have a grand movement for
reform in party politics such as this
country has not seen in thirty years
We desire to call the special atten.
tion of all people still living in this
County who participated in thestrug-
gle to redeem it from the control Of
the whiskey influence, to the magnif-
cent endorsement of your noble eff
forts now being given by the surround
ing counties.
But the real cause for rejoicing is
the grand uprising of the people
against the business of ofdrunkard-mak-
ing. This County is TO stand alone
no longer. Tioga, Cameron and
M'Kean-adjoining counties-have
come up to our position, and the uni
ted influence OF them with others is
hereafter to strengthen and sustain
us instead of tending to pull us down
and overwhelm us.
Rejoice! then, good friends; a bright
or day is dawning. "There's a good
time close at hand.
