Rewarded After Many Days.

The Cleveland, o., Leader tells
pathetic story that shows how bread
cast upon the waters, in faith and love,
may be returned fourfold in due time
lt is but another of tue many instances
in which Kindness aud care of helpless
childhood have been rewarded by a
similar display of kindness and care in
old age:
Mrs. johnson, of Erie, many years
ago took little girl, whose parents
were poor, into her house for company,
and treated her as she would daughter.
After long companionship they sepa,
rated, the young isdy marrying and
removing to Missouri. Mrs. Johnson 5
husband died, and creditors seized his
property. The widow had outlived all
the friends of former days, her children
had cares of their own, and the solitary
old woman had no other place to go but
to the poorhouse. Mention of the fact
that the county had taken charge of
Mrs. johnson was made in one of the
city nesspa pers. a copy of that issue
If the paper, wrapped around an express
bundle, was sent to the town of Glasgow,

L. Gilchrist, who had in early life been
so kindly treated by Mrs. Johnson. No
souner did she learn of the misfortune
of her old friend than she started for
! Erie on the first train With the intention
of relieving her of the difficulties sur
lrounding he. Arriving at Erie, she
hurried to the alushouse and was shown
into the room which Mrs. johnson and
a number OF other paupers occupied
Ace had beut her form and yhi;ened
her hair, but Mrs. Gilchrist needed nc

grandmother twenty years before. The
recognition was mutual, and the super

DRIVEN DOWNWARD BY A PITIL ESS
LIC.-The life that has once been
wrong, seems beyond reform, if the SEN
timent of an exacting and pitiless pub
lie, be the standard Of judgment. The
flower that has been crushed beneath
the foot, and the bird whose flight thro'
the air has been stopped by a broken
wing, excite delicate, gushing sympathy,
but few are the rays of sympathy which
cheer the outcast from society This is
world renounces her, and even mothers
who above all Others-because of their
humane, sisterly relationship-should
speak to and endeavor to reclaim her
even mothers often scorn and discard
her. The fall, God knows, is painful
enough, but this treatment is cruel and
maddening. The tempter is the curse of
the land, the enemy of Society, and the
despoiler of virtue. Stalking through
the land, he gloatingly revels in his evil
work. Behind the mask of refinement,
he finds an avenue to the best homes in
society. The beautiful, and the pure
and guileless, are ruined by the SEEM
ing upright and moral young man, whose
tongue is as smooth as oil In a weak
moment, determination fails and fair
name is blighted. The shadows fall as
dark as midnight, the public is loud in
denunciation, the friendly ties of life
time are broken, and the poor betrayed
girl or woman is forced to drain the last
bitter dreg Are the noble virtues and
tender attributes of woman's heart
destroyed, that no cheer is extended to
fallen womanhood /? Is humanity so
destitute of Christian charity, to scott
and insult women who are struggling to
regain moral footing? The charge
comes to some people in this, and in
every community. Jesus never taught
such religion. Ii His reply to the in
curing scoffers of His day was made to
those who are so bitter in condeming
and discarding the fallen of this day,
many would stand as dumb. There is
something that speaks louder than SEN
timent it is action. We appeal to the
fair minded of both sexes, to the warm
heart of the mother, to the affections of
the father, to the humane in common
nature, to speak a cheering word to the
repentant heart. How many souls may
be saved thereby How many burdens
lifted from sorrowing hearts

A FAIR FLOWER PLUCKED. This
community was shocked on Thursday
to hear of the death of Miss Fannie
ShipIey, which occurred at her home on
Water Street last Wednesday night,
from typhoid pneumonia. She had
formed many lasting ties among the
young people of the town. Quiet and
well behaved abroad, loving and obedi-
ent at home, and always wearing Zap
Ply smile, her bright face will be missed
in our midst and her numerous deeds
of kindness remembered by host of
friends. Called away from a happy
home, in which the Christian traits of
her own character had deep influence,
at time when life was full OF interest,
and her own heart full of Joy, sad in
deed is her death. But the fairest flow
or is always plucked to decorate the al
tar, and God has called this estimable
young woman to grace the Courts of a
fairer and prettier world above. In the
darkened precincts Of the grief -stricken
home, in all tenderness and sympathy,
we sorrow with the loved ones, and with
the entire community, unite in remem-
bering and relating the noble and exalt-
ed virtues of the young dead

A New VOLUME. The old in life is
constantly being replaced by the new.
With renorseless rapidity, Time hurries
along and leaves Remembrance alone to
recall the things of beauty, and the per-
iods of joy which frightened past days.
Therefore, another anniversary of the
birth of the INDEPENDENT has arrived.
For fourteen years it has been battling
for the right, urging improvements, de-
crying evil, recording local, state and
national events, chronicling marriages
and deaths, pleading for religious and
moral precepts, and denouncing fraud
and lawlessness in every shape and form.
It's opinions have been fearlessly ex-
pressed; its motto never discountenanc-
ed, and its course recognized and en-
dorsed by the most influential and intel
ligent citizens of the State. On the
verge of another year, with grave ques-
tion of national Importance looming mp
throughout the land, the INDEPEN-
DENT fearlessly and heartily advances
to meet them and asks continuation
of the earnest and substantial support
of its numerous readers. With malice
toward none, and best wishes to all, the
first number of the XIV Volume greets
you to-day.

DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE GENTLE
MAN.-We were shocked on Tuesday
morning to hear of the death of our es-
teemed and worthy friend, Mr.. George
w. McAllister, which occurred at his
home in Hedgesville, Monday night,
from paralysis. We knew that he was
quite poorly, but did not dream he was
so seriously i'll. He was an honest, con-
scientious, affable man; firm in his con-
victions, and always ready to help the
needy and afflicted. Possessing the hap
py trait of winning friendship from all
whom he met, his death will leave a
void in many hearts, and his genial
honest face be greatly missed. For more
than ten years, he has acted as a report
er for the INDEPENDENT, and we can
truly say that in all that time he never
once failed to perform the duties de-
volving upon him. AS an earnest and
staunch Republican, he never thought
any trouble too great that would fairly
advance his party's interests, and he
was always respected and loved by
his Democratic opponents. He was
good, kind gentleman. and for many
years carried the mail from Hedgesville
to North Mountain. Peace to his mem
DRY. May his sleep be calm, and his
memory always revered. May his soul
find rest in that beautiful CLINE where
sorrow cometh not and sickness is I'M
known.

DAsrARpLY, CRuEL LAwLEssNEss.

DAsTARDLY, CRUEL LAwLESSNESS.
On Monday and Tuesday mornings,
small pieces Of paper were found tack
ed up throughout the town. Written
on their face, in red ink, were the fol-
lowing words:
"If your dog is of any account and YOU
don't want to lose him, keep him of the
street. Fair warning. By order Of COM
mittee.n
This kind of work won't do. 1t is
punishable at law, and in his excellent
charge to the Grand Jury on Tuesday,
Judge Faulkner, mentioned cruelty TO
animals as crime. The interests of
the city demand that the perpetrators
of this piece of cruelty, be discovered
and arrested The spectacle of a dog,
lying for one hour in front of William S
drug store. suffering all the agony that
results from the administration OF poi
sou, is a rebuke to the decency aud law
of our corporation. The warning is a
piece Of ruflianism, and the man who
pays taxes on his dog, and then suffers
the loss of his animal by such miscreant
actions, should appeal for protection
and remuneration to the proper author
tiles. Such treatment is the meanest
and cruelest imaginable. Let the off,
GERS protect the property of the citizen.
If dogs must be kept off the streets, no.
tify the people by due authority, and
don't strew the main streets of our city
with the writhing, twisting bodies OF
poisoned animals.
