With never plume of the wind set hummlng,
The snow has come, and sill is coming,
Yonder, and hither, and everywhere,
Its silent feet in the painless air
Trip down, and around, and over the ground,
With q visible hush there is nothing glum in,
Nothing but beauty and peace pl oiound.
Ho, now for fun! never wait for the sun!
The girls are dancing, the steeds are prancing,
The boys are glancing, and sigh fora run
In the giimmering, shimmering, lowering

Like f.ky moonlight dropped on lover i'll,
In shadOwy glens that q lover knows,
With their foliage clouds and moonbeam

Over, and under, and through the snow,

Smothering, feathering, gathering snow,

And a iis for the fellows who dozc by the ingle
When life goes leaping along the snow.

Retiring From Business.

There is scarcely a more wretched Glass
of men than those who, after spending
years in active business, go into retire
ment in the prime Of life. They become
drones, Of very little use to themselves or
to others. There is now and then among
such men q student, whose intellectual
pursuits afford him an inexhaustible
spring of enjoyment. But, as general
thing, long addiction to the close pursuit
of business disqualifies one for any thing
else, and retired business men are, conse-
quently, without any occupation worthy
of the name, and seem, ridiculously
enough, to be standing around and just
waiting for their time to come to die;
which, we have no doubt, comes much
sooner than it would if their minds were
diverted by some useful pursuit. Life is
short at best, if all of it is occupied. But
to sit down in idleness in ones prime is
like destroying half our days. Rest and

Rosie out Of the eddy just in time.
For day or two Rosie had been quite

Democratic State Convention.

The Democratic State Convention met
in Harrisburg on Wednesday last and
nominated d. o. Barr, of Pittsburg, as
candidate for State Treasurer. The fol-
ing is the platform in brief:
RESOLVED, first, That the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania renews its vows
of fidelity to free Institutions. Second,
That the rights of the States and the
liberties of the people are vital parts of
one harmonious system. Third, That
the Federal administration has no right
to keep on foot at the general expense an
army to invade the States for political
purposes. Fourth, That the way to the
ballot-box must be kept open and free
Fifth, That Rutherford B. Hayes is the
representative of conspiracy, and that
his use of the veto is menace to the
country. Sixth, That the Democratic
party as whole favors constitutional
currency of gold and silver and of paper
convertible into coin. Seventh, That
the Democratic party is opposed to sub
sides and in favor of economy. Eighth,
That it is the friend of the laboring man.
Ninth, That it looks with 6 alarm and
apprehension" on the pretensions of the
transportation companies. Tenth, That
the recent attempt, under the personal
direction of ruling Republican leaders, to
debauch the Legislature by wholesale
bribery and corruption, should receive
the signal condemnation of the people
at the polls. Eleventh, That the pres
ent condition of the State Treasury = a
bankrupt general fund, and even schools
and charities are unable to get the mon
ey long since appropriated to their sup
port-is sufficient illustration of the
reckless financial Encouragement of the
Republican party.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsurNeroN, D. G., July is, Isl

WASHINGTON, d. c., July IL, 1879.
1t is fortunate thing for members of
Congress that the 'amable obstnacy'' Of
the President did not cause him to call
another extra session, for the heat here is
intoerable. The whole city, one may say,
down-th Potomac summer resorts
are full of Washingtonians. The one soli-
tary Congressman who remains is Senator
Kellogg, and few more days of heat will
drive him away. December, which here is
something like early October in Maine or
Minnesota, will see Congress again as
sembled, and comfortable aud let us hope,
disposed to go on with the public bust
ness.
The American Banking Association, by
the way, shows wisdom-in calling its next
meeting at Saratoga in the early days--the
9th, 7th, and 9th of August, almost any
one, who could, would go to Saratoga in
August. Let us hope the same wisdom
will be shown in the transaction of
the business of the association as the selec-
tion of meeting. The convention, If 1t
may be called convention, will not be
limited to those connected with National
Banks, but is expected to embrace large
representation of all financial and CONNER
cial interests.
General Ewing and Charles Foster, of
Ohio, are both very confident of their cleo
tion to the Governorship of That State, and
so are their friends. l have never known
a political contest in which both sides ex-
pressed greater confidence. Both candi-
dates have recently been East, and left be-
hind them wherever they went all manner
of assurances of success. May the best
man win.
VIM. e. Chandler, Secretary of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee, has
been tarrying for short time here, and ex-
pressed himself freely on political subjects.
He thinks that Blaine has better chances
than any one else for the Republican nomi-
nation, and Hancock for the Democratic.
than any one else in the Repub blican Con-
vention, but that he will not accept anomi-
nation save in the apparently impossible
event of a unanimous preference for him.
Capt. Eads, in finishing his labors in con-
structing the jetties at the South Pass of
the Mississippi reports that an uncertain
channel, in which 16 feet of water could
not be counted on, has been changed into
one in which there is absolute certainty of
80 feet. If he can maintain that depth
which he must do, under his contract, for a
series of years-he will be known hereafter
as one of the chief benefactors of the
country. OLIVE.

THE officers of the Pennsylvania rail-
road give notice that hereafter no free
transportation will be issued to persons
attending political conventions, but in
stead therefore, tickets will be sold at
excursion rates, but only to those per-
sons who go as delegates or who are
officially connected with the convention.
This is a severe blow to the army of
dead beats and bummers who usually
flock to these conventions with free
passes in their pockets. The railroad
officials have acted wisely in this mat
ter; and it will have the effect of keep
ing away from the conventio ms of both
political parties the disreputable crowds
usually found about such gatherings.

Peter Herdlc Arrested.

HARRISBURG, July 15. = A hearing
took place to-day before Governor Hoyt
and Deputy Attorney General Gilbert in
the matter of requisition issued by
Governor Robinson, of New York, di-
rected to Governor Hoyt, for the surren-
der of Peter Herdic, of Williamsport.-
The charges set forth in the indictment
accompanying the requisition are that
Herdic in 1915 obtained $25,0O0 from an
Elmira bank, and deposited as collateral
security one thousand shares of stock of
the Williamsport Gas Company and
three hundred and ninety-five shares of
the stock of the Lycoming Gas and Wa
ter Company, of which he claimed to be
theowner 1t is alleged that he falsely
represented the capital stock of these
companies, thereby giving to the shares
deposited as security an appearance of
greater value than they had, and thus
obtained the loan of $4,000 under false
pretences. The requisition was honored,
and warrant was issued to the proper
officer Of Lycoming county.

and was subsequently sentenced to be
hanged, having obtained new trial,
was again arraigned on Monday at

at eighteen years imprisonment in the

crude petroleum is the cheapest and
most simple fuel that can be found for
generating steam. His apparatus for

man is thus dispensed with, and the
burning oil deposits no SCOT in the fues,
as coal fires do. At the rate of six cents
per bushel, the expense of running the
engine used to be about $96 per month,
but during the past month, the manu-
facturer says, while the same amount of
work has been done, only sixteen barrels
of oil have been consumed in the fur
naces, which, selling at seventy cents
per barrel, leaves clear profit of about
sixty per cent.

two or three efforts to artlculate, both
respiration and pulsatlon apparently

TO call Immediately on his return. Mean
while no signs of life were visible
in Mr.. Bausch, and the family con-
vinced of his death sent for an under
taker, who came and was also con-
vineed of the death of Mr.. Bausch.
Before going back to his store for ice
and box with which to preserve the
body until the time for the funeral he
attached the usual Grape insignia of
death to the front door bell.
He was gone an hour, and then when
he reached the house and prepared to
remove the body to the box the jar of
removal startled the supposed corpse
into life. Sneezing first, he gasped for
breath, and in very few moments cir
culation that had been temporarily sus-
pended resumed its course, and, though
weak, Mr.. Bausch became once more a
man among the living. The family re-
joieed at the recovery, overwhelmed him
with attention, and even the undertaken
felt pleasure in the unusual termination
of his services.

The Great storm at Boston.

BOSTON, July 16.-Soon after A o'clock
this afternoon a storm of terrific vio-
lence burst over this city, lasting twen-
ty-five minutes, and in that period great
damage was done to life and property.
Many small boats and yachts were cap
sized, but the most serious disaster yet
reported is that of the small schooner
Myrtle, of Charlestown, having on
board six persons, four women and q
man and boy. The schooner was cap
sized off Bird island, and all excepting
the man, Thomas Durham, who clung
to the mast, were drowned. Their
names were Margaret Dunham, wife of
Thomas Mary Ann Dunham, and
Susan Dunham, sisters; Lizzie Dun
ham, his neice, and Arthur Ryan. The
bodies were recovered by tug and
brought to this city. A boy named
Walter Hittenhame was also drowned
by the capsizing of a boat off Hull
The damage throughout the city can
hardly be estimated'at present but will
probably amount to many thousands of
dollars. In the southwestern part of
the town it was particularly severe
Along the wharves are many anxious
people inquiring about the fate of friends
who left the city to-day on excursions of
