Why They Want Tilden.

Mr.. Tilden is the living incarnation
of reform of the government, the re-
moyal of abuses. the suppression Of cor
ruption. the stoppage of public plumber,
the restoration Of democratic economy,
simplicity and integrity in the admins
tratjon. This is why the honest and
intelligent people of the Union, republi-
cans as well as democrats, now regard
him VIII a feeling such as no other
public man of amy party can awaken in
their minds. They believe that re-
form of the administration, such as he
represents and such as his nomination
wouId indicate. is matter Of most Vi
tal Importance to the country; and
there is nothing that they would wei
come with such Astounding JOY as an
assurance that he still felt the strength
and the energy to grapple with the
abuses that have nowished and over
grown the government, to smite them
with the blows Of an intellect that can
not be deluded. and a hand knowing
neither mercy nor forbearance-

John Browns Scafold.

The historic scatfold upon which John
Brown met his death, December 19,
1859. and which was mysteriously spir-
tied away soon after the execution, has
lust been discovered at CharleStoWn,
jefferson county, i'll somewhat singu-
lar place. About three months ago Col.
John VI. Coyle bought from a widow
the brick residence standing on the cor
ner Of Lawrence and Liberty streets,
Charlestown, and last week, while max
ing needed repairs, tore away an old
porch in the rear Of the building. No
ticing that each board and timber bore
a peculiar mark and number, he made
an investigation. and to his surprise
found that when placed together in
proper order the timbers formed a COM
plete scaffold. Subsequent developments
have proved beyond a doubt that the
scaffold is the original upon which John
Brown suffered, and the venerable relic
has been carefully stored away under
lock and key until it can be set up III
some secure and appropriate place. The
discovery created no little excitement
among the citizens Of the town and
county in which the execution took
place.

DR.. \. NJ. Edison. Of Reading, KaS.,

THE FARMER.

The writer thinks, the poet sings,
The craftsmen fashion wondrous things,
The doctor heals, the lawyer pleads,
The miner follows the precious leads,
But this or that, whst'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
The merchant he may buy and sell,
The teacher do his duty well,
But men may toll through busy days,
Or men may stroll through pleasant ways
From king TO beggar, whste'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
The farmer trade is one Of worth,
He's partner with the sky and earh,
He's partner with the Gun and rain,
And no man loses for his gain,
And men may rise and men may fall
But the farmer he must feed them all.
The farmer dares his mind to speak,
He has no gift or place to seek,
To no man living need he bow:
The man who walks behind the plow
l. his own MASTER whate 'er befall,
And king or beggar he feeds us all.
