carried out it will create malice, envy
and strife between neighbors that
have always before been noighbors OF

tho fenoes stand as they arc, and if,
possible, put moro rails on top; and I
say to tho boys of Salubrity Town
ship, rally and spread yourselves, and
meet at Liberty tho 18th instant, and
knock it all in the hoad, because if
such a law as that passes in this
County, we are ruined for ever and
eternally. How havo wo made out
thus far? How did our grandfathors
and our great grandfathors make
out with their crops fenced. 1 again
sayt that l am willing to cling to tho
old fence law, it has dono for agos
past, and will do for ages to como with
a small exponse. 1 hope the people
of Salubrity Township will DO of one
mind and come out on the 18th and
vote to fence the crops. There is no
uso Of ono saying any moro now about
tho fence law. l hopo tho good poo-
pic Of this County can SEQ for thom-

CHARLES o'CoNoR'S SUCCESS.


The life of Charles O'Conor, the emil
ment lawyer, shows what diligence and
perseverance will accomplish. When but
eight years old he was an office-boy and
newspaper-carrier. His father published a
weekly news paper, and Charles, besides
attending in the office, delivered tne Jour
nal to its subscribers in New York, Brooks
yn and Jersey City. He used skiff to
cross the rivers, and frequently would be
out all Saturday night serving his route.
II is said that he never missed subscri-
Der.
When seventeen years old, he entered d
lawyers office as an errand boy. He bor-
rowed law books, took them home and
read them by the light OF candle, far into
the night, Several lawyers, noticing the
boys industry, aided him in his studies.
When he was twenty-four years old he
was admitted 10 the bar, and even then 1t
was said that young O'Conor's legal
opinion was worth more than that OF many
older lawyers. But success comes slowly
to a young lawyer, and it was not until
his thirtieth year that clients recognized
the legal learning and skill of young o.
Conor He was very poor, but industry
and ability were his capital. He worked
hard at the smallest case, never sighting
any trust, and in time secured the reputa-
tivn of a man who would do his best for
those emf l)ying him. To this eonseienti-
business and industry he owed his sue

Much excitement and many rumors
prevail in English political circles-The
Turkish scheme for mediation is consid-
cred failure. The Porte will now lay
the whole question of negotiation before
the Turkish Parliament. 1t is stated
that Germany gave an unfavorable reply
to an intimation from England as to the
direction of an arrangement of the East
ern question. Germany is said to be in
favor of the extinction of Turkey as a
European power, and will therefore sup
port any action Russia may resolve
upon. 1t is believed that the policy OF
Lord Beacons6eld will be to warn or
threaten Russia to exercise moderation,
refusal to do so leading to Wharf.-The

STEAM CONNECTION WITH
SOUTH AMERICA.

While Philadelphia is making strong
movement in developing trade with
South America a similar movement is
taking shape in st. Louis. The directors
of the st. Louis Exchange yesterday
heard the report of Charles Nathan, who
has spent several menths in the Vest
Indies and South America investigating
their trade and commerce, with a view
of ascertaining the prospects of sustain
ing a steamship line to them from New
Orleans. He Believes great trade can
be built up between the Mississippi
valley and South America with but little
effort and not much money. A consld-
cradle sum has already been subscribed
in New Orleans for the formation of a
company to charter steamers for this
trade, and the project is locked upon
very favorably in st. Louis. A general
meeting will be held in st. Louis on the
subject in few days.

the fact that in December, 1872, 1874 and

some persons pronounced it the most
pleasant fall and winter, up to December
2l. ever known. December %, 1875, it
was warm, and at LAO P. M. there was

No line of pearls her beaming smile dis
closes;
No delicate perfumes around her hover;
And yet love her.
She rivals not the sun in dazzling bright

She steps not like the fawn with fairy
lightness
Her eyes resemble not the stars above
her;
And yet love her.
No waving tresses fall in rich profusion
No classic form, half hidden by Illusion
No brilliant fancy could e'er discover;
And yet love her.
For she is truly sensible and good;
And all the charms that make true wo-
manhood.
Unite in her, and she loves me. more over
And SO love her
Besides that, she's my mother.

DEDICATED TO THE NJ. S. II. ASSOCIATION
Come wretched wandrer in whose breast
Despair has found home,
Drive the grim giant from his nest,
And penitential come.
Reform your ways, tits Mercy's voice,
Do not reject her call,
But rise with manhood and rejoice,
In Christ your all in all.
Degraded, sunk in sin and shame,
You need not fear to come,
No sinner ever in His name,
Sought peace and found no room.
Delay not then for fear OF men.
But with Gods help begin,
Come sign the pledge-put liquor down,
Quit your prevailing sin.
IT'S donel Now in Gods gracious name,
Resolve to win the prize.
Repent! Believed Make Christ your claim
To IN ansions in the skies.
