nation Israel, so that they might study
the Law which Thou gavest to them
and not to us, and so that they might
observe all it's commands in joy and af-
fuence. For as Thou didst not give the
law as an Inheritance to us, and the com
mands were not intended for us, there
fore have we assisted Thy nation Israel
unto whom Thou didst reveal Thyself,
and to whom Thou didst make known
Thy laws
But the God of Judgment answered
them r1 h.m a H..s
Fools Can you conceal anything
from me I see the heart and search
the reins before you think your
thought, I know it all. All that you
built, invented and prepared, was only
done in order to increase your power and
might, and in order that you might en-
joy carnal pleasures; there is not one
among you who respected my law, there
is not one among you who did not try to
injure the children Of Israel, the OBJ
servers of that law
The mighty and naughty Romans
then departed from before the Judge of
the universe in fear, confusion, and with
their heads bowed down. X y Iawoke,
and streams of tears issued from my
eyes, for [ understand the Interpretation
of this dream. Alas [ see that the
children of our nation direct their at
tention to the pleasures and luxuries Of
the world which are as transient as a
shadow, but they do not even think Of
life eternal, Of the life Of the soul They
constantly desire to build luxurious pal
aces, to dress in silk and lace, to wear
beautiful and rich garments, to adorn
themselves with gold and jewels like the
Roman aristocrats, and to rule ever their
brethren ii A l5 ! b MS
IS the reason why the Romans said to
the omniscient God. that the house of
Jacob participated in the pleasures
which they had invented in their coun-
try. Woe unto me ! The word that
God spoke through his servants, the
prophets, will soon be fulfilled upon the
children of Israel In short time
God will scatter us over all nations and
spread us over all lands. O, house of
Israel return and repent, for why will
you die, when God may yet listen to
your petitions and grant your prayers ?
Pursue the path of peace and avoid war,
remain in your country, even if you have
to work hard for your living, and have
to endure many sufferings. Israel, my
nation, doest thou wish to move about
in strange lands, like bird that for
sakes her nest and flies from branch
to branch so that it may escape the ar
rows of it's pursuers If thou seekest
for greatness, then thou wilt be a So
journer and wanderer in all countries of
the earth, thy heart will find no rest
and thy soul no repose; but if thou
wilt be satisfied with bread to still thy
hunger, then thy sorrows will change
into joy, and thy misfortunes into glad
ness"

PAYING WAGES pnoMPrLY.

Says the Philadelphia Ledger, cor.
respondent endorse what we have very
frequently said about the Importance OF
having small bills promptly paid aud of
having working men paid their wages
at frequent intervals. He complains
and justly too, that he and other work.
ers VINO, from necessity, are compelled
TO walt four weeks or more for their
money, The smallness of their wages
preveEbs many Of them from getting
that much ahead Of the world, as they
are therefore, compelled to pay what
are known as "trust prices" for all the
necessaries Of life. Buying in small
quantities, and on credit, 1t costs them
very much more 10 live than would be
required II they were paid weekly and
could buy in larger quantities for cash. d.
This is clearly recognized by many
large employers, who, In spite OF the
additional work imposed upon them
settle with all their employees weekly;
but there are others who delay paying
until they can make monthly SETTLE
ments. There Is another little matter
about wages that costs DOtbing, and
which cOnsiderate employers do not
overlook. II wages are paid on Friday
the frugal housewife will have a chance
to put some of the weekly earnings to
good use before the temptations Of
Saturday night and Sunday frolics
have wasted the much needed money
But, apart from any saving thus obtain.
ed, the wife supplied with money on
Friday night can have the choice of the
markets and hey where it lie to best ad.
vantage, instead of getting her sup.
plies where she must. This is just the
season of the year when 1t would be
we'll to begin the good custom of paying
wages every Friday night. AS our
correspondent says. at would be- a
good New Years gift to working men
and womau."

ORITUAHY.

Robert w. Mackey, eXState Treasurer Of
Pennsylvania, and man prominent in po-
litical and commercial life, died Wednesday
morning shortly after ten o'clock at his resi-
dence, at the northwest corner of Master and
Sixteenth streets, Philadelphia. He had
been in falling health for some months and
was confined to his room for nearly month
before his death, his disease being consump-
tion. Mr.. Mackey was born in Pittsburg on
December %, 1887, and finished his educa-
ton in the Western University, On leaving
college he obtained a clerkshipin banking
house in Pittsburg, and subsequently occu-
pied a similar position in the Allegheny
Bank Of that city. Passing through various
grades in the bank, in 1865 he was elected
Cashier, and, in 1871, Vice President,
Before attaining his majority, he began to
take an active part in politics in his native
city, and was at one time nominated by the
Republicans of the Third Ward, of Pittsburg,
as their candidate for City Council. The
ward was strictly Democratic, but Mr.
Mackey was elected to his first political Office
by majority of 300. In 1869 he was cleo
ted State Treasurer by the Legislature, but
in 1870 he was defeated by combination of
Democratic and dissatisfied Republicans. In
1871 he was again elected, and also in 1872
after which a change in the Constitution of
the State made the office an elective one by
the people, and an act was passed by the
Legislature extending his term until 1874,
or until his successor should be elected and
qualified.
By the Republican State Convention held
at Harrisburg in August, 1873, he was nom
mated for the Office OF State Treasurer, and
wqs elected in October 10 serve two years
from May, 1873. On the expiration of his
term Of Office lac removed 10 Philadelphia,
and purchased a hOuse, formerly the man
sion OF Henry d. Moore, Esq, where he re-
sided during the remainder Of his life. Mr..
Mackey was a director in the Peoples Bank
for several years, and on the organization of
the Continental Passenger Railway Compa-
ny was elected one of its Board of Directors,
becoming, in November, 1877, President Of
| the company, TO which position he was re-
elected IN 1878 lie was at one time one of
the proprietors Of the Pittsburg Commercial,
which Journal was the organ of the Repub-
| lican party of Western Pennsylvania. lie

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

A Harrisburg correspondent Of the
N. Y. SUN. writing under date Of the
2sth ult., puts the situation Of things
political In this shape: "Bob Mackey Is
on a sick bed. prostrated by wasting
disease, and cannot get up b marshal

eron. There Is nobody to take Mackey's
place, the forces are not naturally CO.
hesIve without n strong leader, and
Matt Quay. who Is best fitted to take
Mackey's place. Is not for Cameron.
The two possible candidates for the
Scnatorship against young Don are Gov.
Hartranft and ex.Speaker Grow, but
both have dificuties. Hartranft has
ambition, aud is afraid toantagonIze the
Camerons. He will take almost any.
thing that Is offered him. The Indecent
haste with which Governor-elect Hoyt,
Quay, ana others of Hartranft's friends
hurried to Washington to urge the &C "

THE NEW YEAR.

We now enter upon a new calendar
Jrar--ihe one hundred and third Of our
national existence. After Eve years Of
u 70 most distressing commercial depres.
zion, 1879 makes a rent In the dark
cloud that has lowered over us, and
shows US the silver lining. For the
firnt time In seventeen years Of national
trial, the Governments promise 10 pay
lS worth Its face. and the people once
more find themselves sarAing and
handling honest money.
These years OF trial, the greatest
NhrouRh which the nation has ever
passed, have proven a victory for free
government. DoctEipes Of political and
domestic economy are better understood
tlrnn ever before. and we begin the new
year on O solid aud certain basis Of in
dustrlSl and pecunIary prosperity, with
everything pointing to a new spirit OF
business enter prise among the people.
For some time II has been plain that
the tide OF business prosperity, whose
long and disastrous ebb commenced
With the panic Of October, 1873, had at
last began to turn. Nur can it be de.
MED that our prospects are the more
propitlous because the moment Of re.
covery Is co-incIdent with time of SUI
prsme and perilous depression on the
part OF some other nations. AS re-.
CARDS productive capacity we have now
no rival, and our industrial resources
are far greater than they were twenty
years ago.
Asa people we have yet some struI-
giles to make. The business communi-
lies, from past years Of imitation, come
down to the present time burdened with
contracts made then. These are bound
to create disasters In the future unless
the widest charity Is exercised among
business men. But we are an elastic
and generous people, and In all the
emergencies that we have been called
upon to meet, we have met them frmly
and conquered; and we shall triumph
now. We established our national ex.
istenee amid the 6nanial disasters grow
ing out OF the Revolution, we recovered
from the war of 1912. the Whiskey In
surrectIon, the Alien Sedition, the Burr
and Hartford conspiracies, the South
Carolina Modification, the Dorr, Indian
and Mexican wars, the Kansas and Ne
braska troubles and the great Rebellion.
Now the sun OF peace and plenty shines
upon US. We have no enemy now, but
ourselves, and can we not feel for our
individual selves the consolation which
Dlbdin felt for the sailor, that
"There's sweet little cherub that sits up
aloft,
To keep watch for the life of PooE Jnck?"
As community. the future prospect
for the Lehigh Valley Interests are
more cheering than for years, and there
Is every reason to hope that few short
months will work great change fOI
the better In business here.

McCallum Director and General Man
