SAD SPECTACLR.-Y esterday afternoon
hearing a noise in front of our Office, and
going out to ascertain the cause of the dis
turbance, we found quite n crowd of men
and boys, who had been attracted by the
antics of a wretched old woman occupying
small house not fur from this Office, who,
drunk and enraged, was pouring forth
volley Of oaths and obscenity most horrible
to listen to. Among all the forms of hu-
man depravity, there is no sight so loath-
some and disgusting a drunk and pro-
fame woman. 1t is so natural for man to look
upon woman as the embodiment of all that
is lovely and pure, that when she does fall
to the level of the brute, men who have
themselves grown gray in the indulgence of
the worst OF vices, and delight in their own
deflement, are shocked at her degradation
Yet there are some who wear tue human
form who will deal out to such degraded
creatures the poison which parnlyzes every
remaining virtue, feeding the flames which
transform them to devils Oh, humanity,
cover thy face for shame.

Old and New Year.


The parting year has received its death
kneIl. The sands Of time have run out and
the new born year has come in with the ex-
perience of past ages to be improved upon.
We are fast nation, hurryng on to pertec-
ton. There have been more inventions the
last than any preceding year. The golden
sands of time with many shall run anew, and
new resolutions Will be made according as the
past has indicated. Our little faults must be
corrected before they grow too strong Every
new year places us on higher plane Of ex-
istence, and may this be the stepping stone to
noblcr and better deeds of usefulness. If we
mark the feeting periods and profit by what
is seen Of the good and evil deeds of Eien, we
will be amply repaid in the consciousness of
having fund Of knowledge that will serve Us
a good purpose. The good old year has gone
without a tear TO its demise-forever gone.
For it there is no immortality. 1t will not be
recognized in eternity. How grateful should
we be for the preservation of life through the
past year. Though it is lost, yet it should
not be lost TO memory, but treasured up in
thankful remembrance for the pleasures Of
life and health we have enjoyed. The old
year has died, and at its death the infant Of
1860 takes up its march on the course Of time,





renew our vows-to lay off the old Adam with
the old year-to make new and better con-
tracts fer the guidance Of our lives through
the coming year-to rekindle hope of success
and aspirations for the future-to begin anew
the race of life, and let the dead past bury
its dead. The living present is ours to do
with. Heart within and God o'erhead, we
can accomplish almost any laudable under
taking. The expired year has been one Of
most intense interest to all Of US. Our nation
has been involved in difficulties such as she
never before witnessed. The clouds of dis
cord have been lowering in the political hori-
zon. The thunderings Of disaffected politi-
clans have gone up from our Senate chambers,
threatening destruction to our peaceful coun-
try. While international difficulties are being
adjusted on our northwestern borders, we are
startled with internal feuds which threaten
the peace and prosperity of the Union. The
past year has been one Of marked advance in
the religious aspect of our country Churches
are building in every State. Congregations
are refreshed from OH high by successful re-
ligious awakenings Tue Sabbath School is
Acknowledgements all precedent Conventions
are being held throughout the nation to en-
large the nursery of the church, and we are
sorry that our neighboring States and coun-
ties lead rs in this respect Everywhere we
look, the religious element is working unto
salvation, while the political clements are en-
thralling Us in difficulty hitherto unknown.

Among the working classes, of which beg
leave to be considered one, observe that many
have imbbed the idea that the terms educa.
ton and knowledge are synonymous or, in
other words, that education is knowledge and
knowledge is education. This is great mis-
take There is this difference between knowl-
edge and education: knowledge may be de-
fined as consisting in perception and under
standing of facts while education consists in
the due development and discipline of mans
whole nature-physical, intellectual, and me-
raj. A man may master the whole circle Of
human knowledge and yet not be educated
he may still be very bad man. knowledge
does not necessarily make man what he
should be; but proper education will make
him both better and wiser. It's too generally
believed that education has but little or moth


ing to do with mans physical and moral ma


ture A proper education, however, regards
man-First, as physical being. 1t has re-
gard to the laws and conditions of health, for
without health no one can perform his share
of life's labor. Second, as an intellectual be-
ing being having a mind that is to be cul-
tivated, developed, and stored with various
and useful information, that he may live in
telligently and nationally. Third, as a moral,
religious, and accountable being, and hence
no man is truly educated unless be be govern
ed by the moral and religious feelings-the
highest and holiest that God has implanted in
mans nature. Education is a lifework. 1t
begins when we begin, and, though we never
enter school room yet will we receive an ed
ucation either good or bad. 1t is great mis-
take to suppose that man can ever finish"
his education. We always have something to
learn. HARRY HOMESPUN.

B9-The County Commissioners are in
session this week, and among other things
before them the subject of building new
Jail was discussed On examining the bill
just passed the Legislature, authorizing them
to sell the old Jail and lot on the corner of
Main and Sixth streets, and apply the pros
ceeds to building a new one they found that
by the bungling of the Legislature, the bill
referred to gives them no more power than
t' build new Jail with the proceeds of the
sale Of the old one. This the Commission,
ers are satifed would fall short at least 500 =,
900 of building such Jail as is needed in
this county. And, as they are not author.
lied by the present law to make any an.
preparation for any purpose over $1,000
without submitting the question to the voters
Of the county, they are unable at present to
move in the matter. They have, however,
directed the county Auditor to correspond
with our representatives at Columbus for
the purpose of having law enacted that
will enable them to build new, and it is
to be hoped, good Jail.

u-Against the manufacture and sale of inS
toxicating liquors we have nothing to say
The public opinion Of the country sanctions it,
and we do not feel that il is our mission to
wage war against it. But we are heartily OBJ
posed to the too prevalent practice Of selling
intoxicating liquors to those poor, degraded
creatures who have no government over them
selves, and who are ever ready to spend their
last three cents, for little more whisky, to sink
them still lower, if possible, in the scale of
humanity.


Selling liquor TO such men is an unmitiRated
public evil. which all good citizens whether
engaged in the liquor business or not, should
discountenauce as they would any othe evil
fraught with untold misery to many, and subs
tantial good to none.


Surely the men engaged in the retail liquor
business can get along without the drunkard's
three cent piece; il they cannot they had better
quit the business, as being unfit for honorable
men to be engaged in.


We speak plainly, because we believe that
many of those engaged in selling liquors are
honorable men and good citizens, who will
understand that we are not making war on them
or their business, but upon the pernicious aud
criminal practice Of some few of their number
who for the sake of the drunkard's three cent
piece are willing to sacrifice their dignity and
the honor Of their calling.


Spare the drunkari by refusing to minister
to his ungovcrnable thirst; and prob ibitory laws
and prosecutions under them will be seldom
heard of.

This is one of those things or accident rest
ing with Nature. No man or woman can
form their WI persons, and none ehould be
blamed on this head. The disposition of
looking well is ruinous to half the young peo-
pie in the worla, causing them to study their
glasses and paint or patch, instead Of pursu~
ing that which is lasting ard solid-the cul-
tivation of the mind. It is always mark
of weak mind, if not bad heart, to hear a
person praise or blame another on the ground
aions that they are handsome or bomely.-
Actions should be the test, and liberal
course Of conduct pursued TO all. Itnatters
little whether man is tall or short-wheth-
er the blocd stains the cheek, or runs in an
other channel. Fashion makes the difference
as to beauty. The lily is ss sweet if not as
gay as the rose, and it bears no thorns about
il. As to appearance, fashion should not be
allowed to bear upon that which cannot be
changed except by deception, and what in
deed in reality is not worth the trouble Of be,
