For the Democrat-star.
THE OUTC4ST'S SOLILOQUl.
by CLINTON.

Lonely, 80 lonely, and yet must live,
Bearing the SORROWS that life can but give,
Lonely. deserted, and branded with shame,
This g my portion--a sin-tarnished name
Once was | pure, yes, the pride OF my
home,
Nor did | dream that in vice I'd e'er roam
Once would my spirit all shudder within,
Yes, | would shrink at the mention OF SIN
Young and so full of young love was then,
Passion did blind me TO vices of men,
In came the Temper, so artful, to me,
|, in my rashness, no folly did see.
O that dark hour! twas a leap toward the
grave;
Anguish despair, as an offspring 1t gave
Nothing meath heaven has been able to
save
Me, the defiled, me, the wretch OF the
pave.
Hagpard and wan is my cheek from my
sin;
Tainted, yes, scattsepy lost soul within;
Faded and wretchcd now walking the
street
Ont where the storms and the chilling
winds beat.
Lonely, so lonely, alone in my woe,
Living on mercies 50 hard and so low;
Lonely, so lonely, no heart here to love
O the dark stains that | cannot remove
Lonely. detected, an outcast on earth'
Rueing the moments that gave me my
birth.
Lonely, so lonely, alone in.the gloom
Sure there is merry in death and the
tomb.

Simplicity and Power of Truth.

The following beautiful illustra-
ton of the simplicity and the
power of truth is from the pen of
s. H.. Hammond, formerly editor of
the Albany State Register. He was
an eyewitness of the scene III II
of the higher courts:
A little girl, nine years of age,
was offered as II witness against "A
prisoner who was on trial for IA
felonIy committed in her fathers
house.
Nov. Emily" said the counsel
for the prisoner, upon her being
offered as Il witness, 81 desire to
know if you understand the nature
of an oath r
81 don't know what you mean,"
was the simple answer.

counsel, addressing the court, sis

"Let us see" said " g judge.
"Comc here, my daughter"
Assured by the kind tone and
manner of the judge, the child
stepped toward him, and looked
contidingIy up in his face, with IA
calm, clear eye, and in IA manner so
artless and frank, that it went
straight to the heart.
did YOU ever take an oath 2
inquired the Judge. The little girl
stepppd back with IL look OF horror ;
and the red blood mantled in a
blush all over her face and neck as
she answered:
"No, sir"

t He handed her the Bible open.

Yes, sir; it is the Bible"
"Do you ever read it?' he asked
ayes, sir, every evening"
"Can YOU tell me what the Bible

at is the word of the great
God" she answered.
"Well, place your hand upon
this Bible, and listen to what J
say :" and he repeated slowly and
solemnly the oath usually admins
tered to witnesses.
"Now," said the judge, "yot

trial for my life, and innocent OF
the charge against me, l would

Let her be examined
She told her story with the sim
plicity of Il child, rs she was; out
there WAS a directpess about IL
which carried conviction OF It's
truth to every heart. She was
rieidly cross.examined. The coun-
sci piled her with infinite and in
genious questioning, but she varled
from her first statement i'll nothing.
The truth, rs spoken by that little
child, was sublime. Ralsehood and
perjury had preceded her testl'
mony. The prisoner had intrench,
ed himself in lies, till he deemed
himself impregnable. witnesses
had falsitied facts in his favor, and
villainy had manufactured for him
a sham defense. But before her
testimony, falsehood was scattered
like chat. The little child, for
whom a mother had prayed for
strength to be given her to speak
the truth as it was before God,
broke the cunning devices of ma
tured villaily to pieces like a pot
ter's vessel. The strength that her
mother prayed for was given her,
and the sublime and terrible sim
plicity-terrible, | mean, to the
prisoner and his associates-with
which she spoke, was like reveal
ton from God himselt.-AdtOcdte cf

A "Guardian Angel"

There is not IA Paris v%intner with
a spark of self-respect under his
waistcoat who has not at least one
guardian angel" in his employ
ment. The guardian angel is a
cherub Of placid temper, i'll smock
shirt, cars inseuSible to vitupera'
ton, arms strong enough to parry
and support, honesty that can see
gold, silver and copper, without re-
membering ho%cuS-pocus. When,
by oft wetting his throat, a custo-
mer grows limp and so imaginative
as to see streets, houses and lamp
posts dancing grand gaIop intern

then makes his appearance, rifles

THOMPsoSToTN, Oct. 20, 1879.
.NT. EdHOr-Dear SIR: 1t is a
healthy sign when men look into the
management Of the affairs of their
farms, stores, and whatever other oc-
cupation they may pursue. Self-ex-
animation is one of the first thing
that a man should attend to, and the
next thing that he should do is to
look at the way public affairs are ad-
no;nistered. 4 man submits to be
taxed. Una. he NAV have protection.
That is all that is in the tax question,
and when the tex fails to give him
such protection, as he has right to,
then taxation becomes fraud and an
outrage. You have big Court House
in Mifiintown. The whole county is
taxed to pay for it. 1t is for the pro
lection of the whole people. In case
men cannot agree upon thing, or
fail out with each other, society says
that they shall not fight it out with
list, knife, or gun, because their fight
would involve others, and the Others
would involve still others, and in that
way a constant series of fights would
be kept up, and no one be safe III
life or property. To have place to
settle the disputes il, by getting
twelve men as jurors to hear and de
decide the case, is one OF the reasons
why people submit to a tax to build
Court Houses. The Court House is
the place to settle the case Peaceably
Again, place must be had for the
fling Of land titles; and society sub
mits to tax SO that a Court House
may be built to keep deeds and othe,
title papers in. For these two rea
sons people submit to a tax for coun
ty purposes, with cost of Court
House and everything that pertains
to it. If the management elected to
preside over the Court House. its
title papers. its jury rooms, does not
give protection to those who have
suits before the court, or if the rec

70 II that the management is changed
Some time ago an ez-County Com
missioner. in the columns OF the Se"
finei and Republican, boldly said that
there is something wrong about the
Court House management, and that
inries are packed. Only last spring
n ballot-box. that was deposited IN
one of the offices of the Court House
by order of the Court to give it more
nrotection than it had received, was
broken open and the contents taken
away. With all these things looking
the people in the face, it seems that
the people of Juniata county have
not the safety and protection that
they submit to be taxed for.
If the people could be made TO
realize the Importance of these points
they would elect Kelly and Caveny
