gan those labors which had such AZ
Influence npon the future history Of the
State and its white and Indian popula
ton. llo became an Indian interpreter
and peace maker, aud labored in that
capacity under direct orders from some
OF the most eminent public men Of the
State. Young Weiser studied the In.
dian language under Quagnant. u noted
chief OF the Niagara nation. and at the
same time acquired that insight into
Indian character which was OF such
essential service to him IN after life.
His first pubic act was as volunteer
interpreter for the Council OF Pennsyl-
vania in its transactions with the In
dians, and IN 1876 he acted as the con.
lideniial agent Of the State with the
SiS Nations. The provinces Of Vir
ginia, Mary land, and New York also
employed him in lil<, manner. aud, like
Pennsylvania, were entirely satisfied
with bis services. Weiser also took u
deep interest IN the moral and religions
welfare Of the Indians, ami spent much
time in instructing missionaries IN the
Niagara or Mohawk language, in order
that they might be able 10 preach the
Gospel TO the Six Nations. While
essentially a man Of peace, still when
war was necessary TO protect life and
property, be willingly handled the
sword. This was tho case in 1865,
when he accepted the command of a
regiment Of volunteers from the coun.
ty of Berks, erected forts and block.
houses on the frontiers of Lancaster
and Berks counties, and protected the
people from the raids OF hostile Indians.
For more than eleven years Conrad
Weiser labored INCREASINGLY for the
good of the people in the then sparsely
populated State Of Pennsylvania, and

Ibis private life, his Official history and
bis religious zeal, all combine to pre-.
sent him very beautiful character

Womelsdorf, July 10, 1900. His rev.
erend biographer, though a man OF
unusual attainments, has failed to make
the best and most popular use Of the
rich store Of materials at hand in rela-
tion to the life and services of his emf
nont kinsman. The narrative is cold
and barren, and does not present the

The razors have handles of solid gold.
The walls are mirrors, IN which the

CALLED Bv THE ANGELS.

Tho farmers wife Is sitting alone
In the dusk Of winter day,
While over the bill the shadows fall,
And over the meadows gfav,
And the cares OF many a busy hour
Steal fast from her heart away.
Her eyes have wandered through mlsls Q
tears,
To the church ward under the hill.
Where the snow, like the wings Of brood
ing dove,
Lies soft and pure and still.
And where her treasurer. So long ago,
She laid at the Masters will.
And ah how on, rs tho days go by,
She starts. as Der listening ear
Hss almost caught on the passing breeze,
voi-cs so sweet and clear.
"'Tis the angels calliugl' sho thinks "At
Its weary waiting here"
The farmer comes from his work, at last,
Il the dusk OF n winters day,
And be sits him dowL by his faithful ~,fs,
Aud she paris his locks 20 gray.
And icoks 10 his &C with having smile
That years steal never away.
And back again, as her din eyes turn,
To the hills where the shadows fall.
She ihiiks, NY treasures are yiug there,
But lie has not taken on,
Since one Is wsitipg beside me still,
Till the angels voices call"
But the weeks are slow. and the aged two.
In the dusk ol many day,
viii watch the shadows come and go,
O'er the M adnws Geld aud gray
Ere ihey, At tue Masters will may lie,
Mh,r their treasures are laid away.

BuSYAN's GArrs. : The London

BuNYAN's GATES. - The London
Times says; "The Duke of Bedford has
recently presented to the congregation
OF Bunyan Chapel, Bedford, a pair Of
massive bronze gates from the stadio
of Mr.. Frederick Tbrupp. The panels
are ten in number aud each has bas-
relief illustrative Of scene in the
Bunyan allegory. The entire work is
probably unique Of It's kind, and is said
by competent judges TO be of rare
beauty and excellence. The trustees
OF the chapel have added handsome
stone portico to the building, and made
extensive alterations in the vcstibule,
in order to give fitting reception 10
the sculpture. As soon as the gates
are set up, the event will be recognized
by public ceremony, when the Rev
Dr. stoughton Is expected to deliver
an address.

UNWRiTTEN HISTORY.
4rnE rlnsr onEAr CRIME OF rus wAa

E"TnE FIRST GREAT CRIME OF THE WAR"
Mai. Gen. w. b. Franklin, one Of
the brav.st and wisest officers IN the
United States service during the late
war, contributes to the columns of the
Philadclphia Weekly Times a valuable
historical sketch ol the inside or hIlh-
erto unwriiten history Of events pre-.
ceding aud connected with General
McClellan's peninsuIar campaign. Gen.
Franklin shows conclusively thai while
Mcclellan was rcOrganizing and com
pacting the army that had been 80 dis
astrously defeated under Mcdowell at
Bull Run, aud while he was perfecting
measures tor decisive and successful
campaign against Richmond, he was
constantly interiered with by members
of the cabinet. After advertng to the
impatience Of the administration and
the porulaee for u move "on TO Rich
mond," and the wisdom aud iorbear-
ance Of Mcclellan in resisting this mis-.
cbievous advice, Gen. Franklin con
tinues:
In the latter part Of the fall Lieut..
General Scott asked to be retired, and
his request was granted. General
Mcclellan was then made Commander
in Chief Of the army, and at once be-
came responsible Tor the movements
and organization of all the forces East
aud West. He determined, therefore,
to carry out plan as TO the move
ment Of the army Of the Potomac
which he had studied long, and which,
independent Of political and financial
considerations, commends itself to
every military mind as the very best
for making campaign against Rich
mond ut that time. After events dem
onstrated the wisdom OF this plan. In
few words. the plan was TO move the
whole army of the Potomac, except
force sufficient for the defense Of Wash
ington, to the vicinity OF place named
Urbana on the Rappabannock, and
from this point as base TO advance
upon Richmond But this involved a

Christmas Tree.

We are requested to state by the men,
Der, of thc Temperance Council here that
they will give Christmas tree at the
Court house on the night of the cath inst
Tac public will have the privilege Of
placing upon the tree presents for their
friends: but as the managers desire that no
one shall be neglected they have deter
mined to charge the small price Of % cents
30 a. to create a fund for the purchase of
the necessary gifts. Each person will re-
ceivc a numbered ticket at the door, which
will entitlc the holder Of the ticket to the
present with the corresponding number rs
found on the tree. With this arrangement
satisfaction will doubtless be guaranteed
20 all yi.itors.
