HISTORY OF A FINGER RING.

We have much pleasure in pub
fishing another original composition
of II pupil of Fort Street School
am bright and shining little
object.
The gold from which ! am made,
was found in the Black Hills. l
was obtained by miners with great
deal of hard labor. After being dug
up from the mines, l was taken to
goldsmith who pronounced me good.
l was then washed & melted and
made into plain gold ring. After
being polished up etc., was then
put in the show case with the rest of
my companions who were made of
different ways set with precious
stones & brilliant diamonds. Seeing
that they glittered & sparkled more
than myself, l felt rather small &
mean beside them, & also thought
that l would be Gagged in there for
life & will never see any thing of the
world.
remained in there for six months
wishing for some one to come & buy
me, but no one seemed to fancy me.
All my companions were sold with
the exception of a few it made me
feel worse than ever to think that l
would be left all alone.
/ passed the weary, weary months
IN pining, with faint hope that
| perhaps some poor man would take
me away.
A few days after, young man
came into the store & asked for g
plain ring. My master then took
me out to be shown to him & told
him my price, six dollars. He looked
& turned me over & over till at last
he concluded to take me away.
/ was then put into box which
was closed up so tight that it almost
suffocated me.
In the evening about seven o'clock
he took me out of the box & put mt
into his coat pocket, & an hour after
wards, felt his hand feeling for me
he then pulled me out & was quit,
surprised to see so many elegantly
dressed ladies and gentlemen in thu
room. My new master then place(
me on lady's finger with thes'
words said over me, With this rins
l thee we'd" & then knew that
was taken for a wedding ring.

TINE peIMlERs polYNEslAN POLICY

tNE FNCWtCN VuNtNho'NN 'Ns'
The Washington Correspondence
of the ". Y. Times of 25th Feb
ruary 1858 gave an article on the
Movements of the Mormons. AS
this article shows the policy OF the
present premier of Hawaii, at that
time, with regard to Polynesia, we
have much pleasure in reproducing
it for the benefit of our readers.
The Premier's present policy with
respect to Polynesia is well
known, by his recent issuance OF
the Protest. That great change
has come ''o'er the spirit Of his
dreams" is manifest. We quote
the following:
Captain Gibson urged that Nor
monisln was growing power.
N He set forth that the active
spirits in Utah were eager for more
genial field, than their desert bound
retreat: and In the
great, fertile and unapproprlated is
land of New Guinea, in the vicinity
of oriental polygamlst communities,
they hoped to find a congenial home
for their community"
"Captain Gibson's grand map of
the Malay Archipelago has been
much admired. But L
wish to speak of his splendid map of
New Guinea, and of Solomon's Ar
chipelago, and the islands of the
New Hebrides, and New Ireland
groups. Captain Glib
son has been gathering information
from Malay chieftalns of the Indian
Archipelago, who keep up an active
commercial intercourse with New
Guinea or Papua, and neighboring
islands. and with whom he had main-
tained constant correspondence
through friends at Singapore and
Batavia, since he left the Indian
seas. These maps are
prepared for the information of the
Mormon leaders. A pioneer vesse
is now being fitted out to bear
Mormon vanguard to Oceanica
Captain Gibson gives as his chie1
reason for taking the interest thai
he does in Mormon emigration tc
Papua, or other great unoccuplee
island of the Pacific or Indiar
Oceans, (the italics are ours) M0
such an euent, the settlement q
1reat islands, some as large 0aat
some taoice as large as Utdh, 9eOa

IL ,could make the 1nglo-Sagon rae

Will the Premier explain why h
now protests against " the settle
ment of islands, possessed by a tea
miserable savages and the beasts
tie jungle, "w which" mast be pro
ductive Of beneficial results to til
ciUilized acorld," and which 6 aoou
make the Anglo-Sason race am

great transformation scene, the ''fe'

EDS. CITIZEN A very pleasant
affair was had Thursday of last week,
when the Presbyterians of this place
met and fixed the fence around their
church, planted trees and put up hitch
ing posts, etc, and feel very proud of
their new church walk
The people feel very thankful to the
?. & W. II. r., for the new sign at the
station with the name of the place on
it and likewise indicating the distance
to Foxburg and Allegheny city.
The vote at the election here was
light, Democrats and Republicans say
ing they did not like their party plat
forms and did not indorse the action of
the Legislature, therefore would not
vote.
But it was comical thing to see
three Prohibtionists on the election
board-an uncommon sight we might
say-can any other township beat
that Come, answer up, or forever
held your peace--hereafter.
We want to say Gas there are so
many inquirers) that the Jones family
is well, and ask, how are the Smiths !?
Where is "Milo" Of "Road-dust
theory" and the something he promis
ed US "after while 2" Has he gone
and voted the Prohibition ticket?
BY the way, Mr.. Editor, give US the
vote of all parties, it is news for Us oil.
Mrs Calvin Black, of Harrisville,
and her father, Mr.. Painter, were visit
ing Mrs. FindleX of this place, last
week.
There was quite reunion of the
"Black people"-not colored-at Robt.
Blacks, his descendants and friends
gathered in on the old couple in quite
an unannounced manner with many
kindly presents for them. Rev. A. B..
G. Mcfarland presented the tokens of
respect, all on Thursday last.
No misunderstanding in the coaling
of the township school houses, that was
perfectly understood.
Quite a shooting match at Captain
Beck's last Saturday for turkeys for
Thanksgiving.
1t was certainly mistake in the re-
porter of the "lecture on music" in the
Presbyterian church, which was very
good and generally enjoyed.

For THE CITIZEN.
MILO ON TIME.

Almost every farmer has what he
calls moon mark" This is general
ly mark on the porch or in the door,
which is North and South line, and
they suppose when the sun is on this
line it is twelve o'clock This is a mis-
take-It is not always noon when the
sun is on our meridian The sun now
(Nov. 81, is on the moon mark fifteen
minutes before twelve. The middle of
February it was fifteen minutes slow,
that is, it did not reach the line of the
noon mark until quarter after twelve,
making difference of half an hour be
tween the two extremes. How often
we hear people saying, "my clock
never varies, | have a noon mark aud
my clock runs with it the year round"
This is proof that it does not keep
time. When the sun is on the moon
mark" fifteen minutes before twelve
Gas it is now, the clock should be set
at quarter of twelve, not at twelve.
The clocks Of nine-tenths of those who
live in the country or in small towns
where they have no standard regula-
tor are now fifteen minutes too fast
because they set by the "noon mark"
without taking the equation of time.
1t is astonishing that so many people
in the town and country think that when
the sun is directly South it is twelve
o'clock.
To get correct time, it is necessary
70 ho
may be done-near enough for all prac
teal purposes-by taking the line of
the North Star, just ten minutes after
the first star in the handle Of the Great
Dipper has passed under the North
Star, that is, the star where the handle
joins the dipper. Having thus gotten a
permanent North and South line, and
by taking the equation of time anyone
can get time as correctly as can be
taken from any dial, and without any
expense, and very little trouble.
If there was little more attention
paid to this there would not be such a
variety of times in the country and
would obviate the necessity Of some
waiting an hour at the church for the
minister, while others annoy the speak
er and congregation by coming in after
the services are half over
The great divisions of time we find
in the natural laws, co-evil with crea-
ton; in the revolution of planets in
their orbits making the years and sea-
sons, and of the satellites around their
planets, designating the months, and
of the planets around their axes, Civ
ing day and night, to mark the aterna
tions Of labor and repose. Yet the
velocity of the earth in its diurnal rev.
olutions is constantly either increasing
or diminishing, and there are only
eight days in the year in which revo-
luton of the earth on its 2axes is COM
pleted in precisely "a hours, viz: 1st
of Feb, l7th of April, 18th Of May,
18th of June, 2Oth of July, lst of Sep
tember, 3lst of Oct, and the goth of
Decemberi therefore all other days of
the year as indicated by the earth'a
revolutions, in the alternationg of day
and mig ht, are either more Or less than
"a no urs In length.
Let US remember when we are set
ting our watches at r. because the sun
is on the meridian then, that it is on
the meridian at II o'clock only four
days in the year. Milo.

A Healthy Race.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Nov. 13.-Morti-
mer Daneher, aged 12l years, died
yesterday at the residence Of his son in
Derrynane, LIE Sueur county, Mimi,
Mr.. Daneher was the last surviving
brother of a remarkable family, which,
for longevity, probably surpassed any
thing in the records of modern times.
Mr.. Daneher's mother died in her l0lst
wear his eldest brother at the age of
los; his second at the age of III years,
I months and 20 days, and himself at
the age of 12l years. The father was
the shortest lived of the family, having
died at the age of 80. The combined
ages of tho three brothers reached 346
years INCLUDING the mother, 446 years,
and taking in the father, a2a years.
Mr.. Daneher had been remarkably
healthy and active man, never having
been really i'll in his life. Lately, how
ever, old age kept him more or less to
his bed, but he was never i'll, and even
got up and dressed himself on Wednas

The Thanksgiving Turkey.

'sMy son." said Mistress Fox,
YOU'RE clumsy as an OK,
TIs now Thanksgiving time,
The merry bells will chime;
But we may starve,
While Dobhs will c.rve
A fine fat turkey on his table;
Go bring that bird, il you are abe.
You're so lazy,
For play 50 crazy;
No game you ever brought,
No chickens ever caught,
For time of true Thanksgiving,
Or for cur daily living"
Young Foxy felt quite sad,
When called clumsy lad.
And Just at night,
With all his might,
He ran to Farmer Dobbs' yard,
And foupd the turkey off his guard.
Without WORD,
lie checked the bird;
Then proudly slung him on his back,
And took for home the shortest track.
"Good boy, my son! You are no OK;
I'm proud of you," said Mistress Fox.
"Of name and fame you are the winner,
And we have got Thanksgiving dinner;
While Farmer Dobbs and his three mel
Must dine upon an ancient hen"

Whose tones are sweet and clear.
But save me from the person who
Will evermore begin,
Determined he will put one through
The music of his chin
| cannot sing the old songs,
Though l can get them cheap;
Their memory to the past belongs,
So let them idly sleep,
But worse than old songs is the friend
Who seeks your time to win,
And who, when started, will not end
The music Of his chin.
I've heard steam whistles, brazen gongs,
And bells of every tone;
PTe heard the shouts of madGenei thron s,
And heard jackass groan.
I've heard female lecturer sneer
On wicked men and sin;
These are as naught, for now hear
The music of his chin.
