RSE We learn that the members of the
Tilden and Hendricks club last Monday
night had the food gates of knowledge,
wisdom and eloquence, hoisted upon them
by William Down, Daton Walton, and a
gentleman of color We did not hear that
any of the unfortunates were drowned by this
unexpected out pouring of good things.
One of the speakers turned prophet and pre-
dicted that the election of Tildeu would con.
vert the world Now we have authority
for believing that when that event happens
the world shall be destroyed. Hence the
election of Tilden would be very dangerou:
experiment.
So, for pitysake don't do it. for fear We
may all be suddenly converted into roaster'
without any one to set the table and feast.

RST Democracy appears all upside dowr
this fall. Hendricks took months to make
up his mind before he accepted. Tilder
took a similar length of time ere he could
get up his letter into proper shape, and now
Seymour, nominated to strengthen the
party in New York, hesitates to risk his
reputation along with Tilden's. VIII our dis
tinguished neighbor over the way please
define why this is thus? We pause for a
reply

sarThe brethren of the l. o. o. F., of this
county should be stirring onward the pre-
paration to visit Philadelphia, and join in
the grand parade of the order which comes
off on the Goth inst. All our neighboring
counties will be represented by large delega-
tions. As concessions have been made by
the railroads in greatly reduced fares, Luzerne
county it is said will have a delegation of at
least 1000, and Wyoming and Columbia
counties will be represented by the full
strength of the order, as will also Carbon and
old mother Northampton. Monroe county
should not be behind these, especially as the
occasion and the sights to be seen will never
again come to any now living, The parade,
it is assured will be the largest of any order
ever witnessed and the regret of the breth-
ren at not having participated in it cannot
fail to prove the regret of lifetime. Bestir
yourselves brethren and resolve to go, and

noon of last week-she and three of her
lovely companions. She went and had good
time accordingly. She thought she would
add to her enjoyments the romance of boat

of its dangers; but it would be so romantic
to guide the frail bark o er the limpid waters
of the babbling brook, and listen to the rip
pies as they gurged along the messy banks of
velvet green. 1t was suggested that her
stern gear was not proportioned to the slight
dimensions of the frail bark but she needed
not the suggestion; and with vim which
marked the heroine, essayed to squat herself
to the enjoyment of the sail. But, catastro-

the attempt, aud her hustle was found to
have bursted from its moorings. Her bark
was drawn to the shores, and she was so

TOMORROW.

This world with all its power And pride,
Is but a vale of sorrow,
To-day. perhaps, In pomp we ride
Above ambitions seething tide,
Who knows sught Of tomorrow!
A day can call forth many things,
Aud oil does from the future bJrroW,
To-day may show the power OF kings,
But who will pruns times Meeting wings,
Or say what comes tomorrow?
To-day the victor flaunts the wreath
And deems the earth too narrow,
Disease, perhaps may stop the breath,
No hand can stay old time, and desths
Perhaps, twill come to-morrow.
To-day In then the given day,
For deaths unerring arrow
May turn the proudest Into cav,
And who could for salyation pray.
II death should come tomorrow
Then leave the worldly thought awhile,
'Tis beitor TO possess than TO borrow,
To-day may free u from all guile,
And Heavens reconciling smile
May give us JOY tomorrow.
