An Off Year.

Philadelphia Times, Wednesday.
The Republican organs will naturally and
justifably derive great satisfaction from yes
terday's sweep. They have been feeling badly
for year and this will give them a less de-
spairing view Of life. And yet the fact re-
mains that these elections determine nothing
and change nothing. They will not brighten
the President, and they will not change the
attitude of Congress, which will go right
along with the work marked out forit. Thus,
when we come to the Congressional elections
of next year, the people will have quite diff
ferent state of facts to pass upon, and there
may be as abrupt change as some of yester-
days returns appear to show.

The Crawford System.

Mr.. EDITOR: The result of Tuesdays
election demonstrates one fact, if no more.
The majority of the voters did not seem to
consider that they were SO strictly bound by
the result of the Democratic primary elections
as to compel them to vote for the candidates
then nominated. Under the Crawford county
system it is an almost impossible thing for
any one to secure majority of the votes
cast where there are more than two aspirants;
and as the ticket presented on Tuesday con-
tanned the names of candidates who represent
ed only from one-fourth to one-third of the
votes, it was claimed that they were not chosen
by majority of the voters. AS the merits of
the Crawford system are repeatedly discussed
throughout the county, would it not be a
good idea for the Executive Committee to
submit the subject for the consideration of the
voters at the next primary election? CLAY.

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.-A little child of
John Lewis, colored, near Kalmia, was burn
ed to death, on Thursday of last week. The
father was away from home and the mother,
having occasion to leave the house for a short

in the stove. A lounge in the room was also
burned but the flames were extinguished.

PARENTAL AUTHORITY.
Its Proper Exercise Has Much to Do WIN
the Future Man or Woman.

LILO uGur6 Hihn OF woman
The most potent influence for the de-
struction of moral character has been, with
out doubt, lawless self indulgence. Self IN
diligence in maturity is the inevitable re-
suit of parental indulgence in childhood.
The men and women of influence, at least
In this republic, have been those whose
moral fiber has been toughened by absti-
nence and frugality Lincoln learned self
mastery as he welded the AK and studied
by the freight, Garfield came within its
wholesome discipline as he walked the tow
path, and the woman writer who achieved
Immortality and made possible the emanci-
patton of race thought and wrote, as
thousands of other women of genius have
done, with her foot upon the rocker of her
baby's cradle.
1t is stern discipline like this that quick
ems the mind and stirs into vitality what
ever latent force the character may possess.
Between all human beings there is cease
less strife for mastery. Sometimes it is an
amicable conflict, but frequently it is vio-
lent, stubborn and cruel. The latter quail
ity does not manifest itself at first, but it
asserts itself with arrogance whenever
rightful authority withdraws or weakly
surrenders.
Says Emerson: when a new boy comes
into school. when u man travels and en-
counters strangers every day, or when into
an old club newcomer is domesticated,
that happens which befalls when strange
OK is driven into pen where cattle are
kept. There is at once trial of strength
between the best pair of horns and the new
conner, and it is settled thenceforth which
is the leader" 1t might have been added
that the leadership thus achieved is seldom
or never relinquished.
There are many small pleasures that can
be permitted and requests that can be
granted without harm, but parents who
yield to every wish, however foolish, are
sowing to reap the whirlwind The boy
who is permitted to lie in bed mornings
until breakfast is half over, until he is too
late to school or to business, is receiving the
training of an incompetent and a sluggard.
The habit will pursue him through his
whole career, booming him to poverty and
misfortune.
That indulgence which palliates COM
plants of food and clothing, which tolerates
brutal bursts of temper because all has not
been done that the selfish nature demanded,
is certain schooling for a future bully and
tyrant, who will bring sorrow and misery
into every life that touches his own.
The exercise of parental authori;. :, though
the child resist with tears and pleading, is
as absolutely necessary to its symmetrical
moral development as are food and air and
light to its physical well being. Failure 10
guide and control in childhood opens the
way to failure and ruin later IN life. That
which follows is not ''the visitation of
Providence" but the certain penalty for
the violation of Il necessary moral law

A medical friend of mine once accident
ally ran a sharp pointed stick into the cor
ner of his eye, and knowing Ocularius by
name went to see him, and found large
roomful of people bent on the same errand
as himself. My friends turn came at last,
and the oculist examined him very carefully,
told him that a certain muscle had been seri-
ously injured and that unless he was very
prudent he might lose his sight. He then
wrote prescription and handed it to my
friend with the remark that he had better
come again that day week. My friend
then mentioned for the first time that he
was also medical man, although belong
ing to different branch of the order The
face Of Ocularius became a study, that
worthy gentleman realizing the fact that
he had taken lot of pains for nothing.
"Ohl ahl indeed! stop!" he exclaimed,
''let me see that paper again."
My friend returned it to the oculist, who
altered it slightly, saying, as he handed it
back to his visitor: Your accident might
have had serious consequences, but fortu-
nately there has been no great harm done.
You will be all right again in few days"
My friend thought so, too, and politely
thanked the oculist and wished him Good
morningw Ocularius replied gruffly, but
made no further allusion to the proposed
visit that day week.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

c. ELMER WELLS,

DItu NOVEMBER Sth, 1851.
Every year the Father calieth
Some loved one to endless rest,
And the heart, tho filled with anguish,
Can but cry, He knoweth best"
Every year some hand has finished
All its work for others here;
And we miss voice, whose accents
Fell like music on our ear
And the eyes that smiled SO sweetly,
Answering back each look of love,
Now are gazing on the glories
OF the beauteous realm above.
But n year, not distant, cometh,
When we tread the vast unknown;
We shall find our ransomed dear ones,
Seated round the great while throne.
