Repose the secret Of power.

A peaceful life is most likely to be a
full one, with finer and keener sensibili-
ties better related to beauty and poe
try and all higher matters more digni-
fed and self respecting.
Repose is the secret of power in per-
sons, pictures, statues, architecture,
books and nature. as if it were a means
ofretaining as well as disclosing life; and
health demands frequent pausing to re-
store the helance of the system, and
keep up perfect circulation.
The night, if spent in healthy sleep
after proper evening hours; reduces the
worlds chaos, and we are new every
morning.
Who does not know the magic Of a
brief pause in the midst Of the worst
confusion ? A calm Of FIVE minutes will
invite back our vagrant ideas and pow
ers.
So the home should be like hush
and lullaby in this headlong, whirl-
ing, noisy, furious and distracted world
of the nineteenth century, n look apart
from the thorcughfares-a grot cor
bower under the sky, where the beauti-
fui spirits of the air will hover and
dance.
It's atmosphere should be little ORR
entail and cheering, as il exhaled from
peoples and balsams.

BOTH SIDES.

A man in his carriage was riding along,
A gaily. blessed wife by his side;
In satin and laces she looked like the
queen,
And he like king in his prime.
A wood-sawer stood on the street as
they passed.
The carriage and couple he eyed,
And said, as he worked with his saw on
log;
II wish were rich and could ride"
The man in the carriage remarked to
his wife,
One thing would give if / could
ia give all my wealth for the strength
and the health x
OF the man who is saving the wood
A pretty young maid, with bundle Of
work,
Whose face as the mourning was fair,
Went trippin5 along with smilg Of de-
light
While dhmm.ng a love- breathing air.
She looked on the carriage; the lady she
saw,
Arrayed in apparel so fine;
And said sn Whisper, II wish from my
heart
Those satins and laces were mine,"
The lady looked out on the maid with
her work,
SO fair in her caoico dress,
And said, "I'd relinquish position and
wealth
Her beauty youth to possess"
Thes it is in this world, whatercr our
joy,
Our minds aud ourtime we employ
In longieg and singing for we have not,
Ungreatefuff for what we enjoy.

ANTITHEsIs.

Death gives US more than life.- -Stray Pome
Aye, more: it gives repose,
Sweeter than life can e'er impart;
Vast depth Of peace, where every burden
cd heart
At length will lose its woes.
| know my prison bars
| build no topping towers on shift
ing sands;
l each not upward with decaying
hands
To grasp the lofty stars.
The lowly grave is dear,
And has no terrors +; it is free from
pain
It's couch is downy and has no secret
Wrings the regretful tear.
And life--its wild uproar.
Its fruitless hopes, its withefed,
blighted days,
Its hours of anguish, turn the faint
ing gaze
Toward the " voiceless shore.

A Curious Will.

To the remarkable papers on ecu
rious Wills" published some time since
by an illustrated contemporary, says a
London paper, might be added
with advantage a supplementary
account of the more cartons funereal d.
rections which those documents fre-
quently contain An interesting case
in point is that Of the late highly esteem
ed Surgeon Major Wyatt, G. b., Of the
Coldstream Guards, who did such good
service to suffering humanity in Paris
after 1871. Ho desired ia his will, late
ly proved, to be buried 10 full dress
uniform of the regiment, in which he
had passed the greater part of his useful
and honorable life. A Bible presented
to him by his wife was to be placed in
his coffin and the &c behests being re-
corded. the Surgeon Major went on to
direct that tho horses used at bis funeral
might not be decorated "-plumed aud
draped, we presume--in any manner
that The mutes and other attendants
should not wear hat-bauds or scarfs /;
that each person attending his funera
was to wear in token Of mourning only
black band Of medium width--crapel
for relatives and cloth for friends that
the gloves should be black but that
each person 10 the train should wear a
camelia or other white flower in his
button hole, as it was the worthy s r.
geon Generals wish that the ceremony
should be as free as possible from all
gloomy associations. and to be consider
ed more as an occasion for rejoicing
than for mourning" Consonant with
this leading idea was the expressed wish
that DO kind of widows cap or weeds
should be worn by his relict. and no
particle ofcrape on tho garments Of his
relations

BE A WOMEN.

OFT I've heard gentle mother,
AS the twilight hours began,
Pleading with sou on duty,
Urging him to be man,
But unto blue-cyed daughter,
Though with loves wo rds quite a,
ready,
Points she out the other duty
Strive, my dear, to be lady"
What's lady. Ii it something
Made Of hoops and silks and airs,
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rings and chairs
Is it one that wastes on nov els
Every feeling that is hmm an 4?
If tits this to be lady,
IT'S not this to be woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak Of something higher far
Than to be mere fashions lady
"Woman" is the brightest star.
If you, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To arise aud be woman.
Yes woman brightest model
OF that high and perfect beauty,
Where the mind and soul and body
Blend to work out life's great duty,
BE woman ! naught is higher
On the gilded crest of time
On the catalogue Of virtue,
There's no brighter, holier name

SECOND DAY.

The morning opened up beautl,
fully, and 10 those familiar with
French history, suggested an ailu-
sion to the "Sun of Austerlitz."
A heavy rain on the first day had
so cooled the atmosphere and set
tied the dust as to make this day
more of spring than summer. At
an early hour the people came
pouring in from every direction,
and slowly wendell their way to
the Fair grounds. By ten O'Clock
more than two thousand people
had gathered to participate in the
days proceedings, and before eleven
O'Clock, the hour named for the
exercises to begin, at least five
hundred more was added to the
number. The early trains on the
various roads brought in large adj
ditions to this NUM- Der, the Cum
berland Valley bringing a large
delegation from Chambersburg,
headed by the excellent brass band
from that Borough, which added
much to the interest of the occa-
sion by its excellent music. Dur
ing the early hours of the morn
ing. stock of various kinds were
exhibited, and premiums awarded
as noted in another column.
The interesting exercises for the
day were begun at II o'clock, by
the Introduction of the burlesque
tournament from Shepherdstown,
which occupied the space in front
of the Grand Stand, for an hour
or IN re- with its antics, giving
general satisfaction.
Shortly after twelve O'Clock the
crowd adjourned for dinner, and
spent that time till two O'Clock ia
supplying themselves with crea-
ture comforts.
At two O'Clock the races were
announced, the first being finish

horses, halfmi!e heats, best three
in five, one heat of which was won

came up for the start. After one
or two efforts they all got off well
together, "TaIlyhoe" taking the
lead and keeping it to the close,
winning the heat in fifty
four seconds. The second heat
was a very interesting one, as
there was considerable change in
heat in So seconds. When the third
heat was called "Tallyhoe" had
gotten new rider. The horses
came up we'll together and got off
at the word the Irish Girl lead
ing; the little tarkey pulling the

held him 100 long and when ne
called for him he could only get to
the second place the Irish Girl"

EASTER N.
The Great Scandal.

CHICAGO, August 2l.-A special to
the Tribune says: "The report of the
Beecher Investigating Committee is
completed, and will be presented to
the Examining Committee of Ply
mouth Church tomorrow night. The
report is summary of evidence, none
of which, however, will be given to
the public for several weeks. 1t is an
entire acquttal of Beecher.
Tilton's second statement is prepar-
ing, but it will not be published for
several days. 1t will follow Moulton's
statement after short interval, and
will probably be made public at the
same time.
The papers are served on Beecher
in the suit brought against him by
Tilton.
The Chicago Tribune this morning
publishes report of long interview
held yesterday between Frank Moul-
ton and George Alfred Townsend, in
which Moulton is made to admit the
general correctness of bis first inter-
view, the publication of which created
so much controversy, but avows
that he did not say that Beech
er confessed his adultery with Mrs.
TiltOn to him.
Moulton's statement is published.
He says that when he went to Beecher
to obtain from him the written recan-
tation which Mrs. Tilton had signed,
Beecher limited to him with grief
and sorrow the fact of his sexual rela-
tions with Mrs. Tilton, and was indig-
nant that she had not (?) told her hus-
band of it. Beecher gave him the re-
cantation of Mrs. Tilton. Beecher
iaAI fac n
to him his adultery with Mrs. Tilton,
and threatened to bill himself.
An Astounding Statement.
NEW YORK, August 22.-It is re-
ported that Beecher, in view of Moul-
toms statement, has confessed his
guilt to his attorneys'and the commit
tee. Moulton's statements are very
explicit to the effect that Beecher, on
more than one occasion, confessed all
to him and in his remorse threatened
to kill himself. He gives history Of
his efforts made to compromise the
affair, and denounces Beecher again
for treachery in procuring Mrs. Til
husband. He also gives letters and
extracts from letters which passed
between Beecher and members OF
Beecher's family, in which they de-
clared their belief in his guilt, and he,
on the other hand, denies all stories,
and counsels them not to talk about
him, and desires them to prevent
Others from talking when they can.
His sister, brothers and Mrs. Wood
hull are mixed up in this portion of
the affair. Moulton says Beecher
forced upon him the terrible duty of
revealing the whole truth, but says
the parties are in a worse position now
than they were in 1870, when he first
knew the facts of the case, and that
all along he has struggled to save
them all. There is no report as to the
contemplated action of the committee,
and no present confirmation of the
report that Beecher had made full
confession to them.
