Poem Addressed to the Editors and Publishers of the 10th and 11th Congressional Districts, and read at the Banquet, . | ; . BY MRS. EMMA ¥. MOLLOY. I bid you welcome, with a right fraternal will My much loved brothers of the ink and quili, . Happy am Ito meet around this festal board ' The drivers of that implement, more mighty than the sword. | o Aye, brothers, what miore worthy of the poet’s theme Than what gives shape unto and life to the poet’s dream ? : What sabject more appropriate conld I choose, To wake the beauteous fancies of my gentle muse, Thaa that so dear to all our hearts—the Press {—" For which a ling’ring fondness all will here confess. What happier feeling than when, in your sanctum sitting, v ! Calmly as some old lady with her cherished knitting Looking your dailies, and the neighbor’s papers o'er, And clipping scraps and items by the score; Writing, a local'now for Tempkins, or for Brown, Or hinting at some tragedy fhat's happened in your : town ; : 5 Or whhiw some good friend just launched on Mat rimony's Sea, % Fair weather and fine sailing—yet all will here agree That squalls wil_! oft occur in every family. Next comes a record of some lhiope that's dead— Somebody’s little Mabel, Sue or Ned | : Who op'd oue day Eternity’s dark door, And went out from uomo';fmo, alas, forevermore. - Then follows close upon this item a larceny, for which Tlie culprit is sent up for sixty days or “‘sich.” * Scarce is this written when wh=ezing in comes Tom, | the ld fat Squire, : e ) With anger boiling over. “Sfr, Smith called me a (i, : 3 And, sir, I wanta piece!

tend. Thus, day by day, is varied some the news, Much as the changing scenes of Stereoscopic views. . Yet, trueto life, is pictured sorrow, love or joy— Sometimes tis life's pure gold, more oft its base alloy. Sometimes the foolish editor indulges in a dream Of wealth and fame. Pactolus’ golden stream b Seems leading straight unto his little sanctum door, It opens. Heavens ! 'tis only old John‘Moore— That worst of all inflictions, the printing office bore. - He doffs his hat. Ah! then he’s come to stay. / So good bye, happy visions, until another day ! He seats himse!? in your own easy chair, Ndt heeding in the least your look of mute despair; Takes up your pen, and coolly goes to writing. Zounds! sir, if one ever feels like fighting "Tis: when you see that hated, hideous.bore Come tramping in your quiet sanctum door, And, worst of all the sine of vile created men, Sits down, unasked, and spoils your cherished pen. He is always 'round on publication day ‘Thinking perhaps your paper is made to give away. He pockets your exchanges without even “by your . ledve,' 3 : » With all the articles you’d marked, scarce thinking . - he would thieve. i He pulls the copy over, and reads what's gn the hook, And, finally, to your relief, takes up the last new book As you exclaim within your heart, “Job never saw ‘a bore : A Like this old public nnisance known by the name of Moore." 5 s

THE HOUSE ON THE MOOR. 5 l ; There was a tumble down, deserted look about the entire premises. Taken altogether, it was the last place a hungry and weary traveler would have stogpe_d at; but night was coming on, and the gky gh_;eatFn,ed a severe storm ; 80 there vzt’a no thoice. . Riding directly .up to the d;or,_ 1 dismounted, and cntéﬁeﬂ"\withom ceremony. Batif the surroundings were uninviting and dis- | ‘mal, how much more so was all with- |

~ An old woman sat in a broken chair on one side at the fireplace; another of about half her age, probably thirtyfive, was seated in the other corner; and the two children, a girl of about twelve, and a boy about ten years of age, were huddled together on the floor close to her who was evidently their mother, all wearing a pinched and squalid look, a terrified air as if in mortal fear.:* ;

“Can I /stay hereto-night ¥’ ‘Lasked. “Yes, yes, I fancy so,” was the hesitating answer of the younger woman, after looking first at me, and thén at the old one.” “Yes, I fancy 'so. But there is a house three miles farther on, v here you'd be better off.”” | “I know’d it was going to be a terrible night, for—" I | Here she stopped suddenly 4nd in apparent conftgeion. : & S “Would your little boy be kind enough to show 'me where to put my horge ; I would not like to leave him out in the rain.” i “Go, Willie, and show the stranger.” “] dursent,” wag the reply ; and the child crept still ‘more closely to his mother, and hid his face in her skirt. *lf you will direct, T will wait upon myself.” & : : ; “There is the stable, such as if*is,” she answeréd, pointing ‘to the shell I had already noticed, “and if you look about -you will find some corn. I would go with you myself, but—" And again she stopped in confusion. “There is no need of that,” I replied. : : That there was some mystery connected with the family I was ‘certain. The restrained, terrified manneér of all in the house and the expression of the little boy were enough to convince any one of that.. Determined to be on the watch, I returned, and gladly accepted an invitation to the supper which had been prepared. S - «I thought you’d be hungry, sir,” said the mother. .

Al AR R i “Yes a long ride over your moors makes one so.”’ )

“We haven’t much to offer ydu ; but you're welcome toit, such as it is.” The frugal meal of bacon, eggs, and brown bread was soon finished ; and 1 took my placein' the circle gathered about the hearthstone, and tried to induce conversation. All my attempts, however, were futile. A very short answer was all I could gain; and as one and all were constantly looking around as for the coming of some one whom they expectede yet dreaded, I could not refrain from asking: ‘“Are you looking for company to-night ?”’ “No, 0o ; bat—="r « 3 fee -

Still the same confusion, and sudAden breakingoff,. =~ = .

“Perhaps your husband 18—" . “No—oh! uo? And she shuddered terribly. 5 ; - “Ifthere is any one you fear,” I continued, “I'will protect you.” And I displayed my pistol rath-r ostentatiously. : i “It isn’t no mortal ; it’s spirits.” “Spirits ? = Pshaw ! you are not afraid of spirite 17 -~ 5o “May be you don’t know nothing about them, gir 2.- 1 o ]

I had to confess not only my own ignorance but disbelief, ard was attempting to prove logically that such things could nos exist, when the storm that had been long gathering bursts in fary, shaking the house to the very foundation, = ; 5 Aal

" «There ! T told you go!” whispered the old woman, “I knew he was coming,_” 7 i i e «He? Whois he ¥? ~ s - I was going to ask again for the: father, of the children, but the pleading look of the poor woman restrained me, . I could not believe her guilty of ‘afly erime, and so = waited for" turther development.” And come they did with & vengeapce. 7 . .. First, 'the racking, 'jarsing of the house ‘wag ' ‘renewed, ‘although the storm - had lulléd for a moment : then a dog appeared to howl directly under the ‘-w,ingow ; then' the shutters were: slammed, and the doors opened vio‘lently ; then there-was a hollow, mocking laugh in the chimney ; and then a. thumping directly beneath my chair, ‘aB if some one was pounding. with a: huge SlGage’ ¢ W Gk | " Don't sit there, i | for heaven’s - sake 'don’t!” ¢ asgs ‘the poor mother, drawibg herseifand cliidrel awhy: F Wit P2l o 0 8 o« #lte always oft tmsp"”’ S et . /#ls there a cellar under the house £ aPNeI 0 o 0 Aot e gkt ol

the floor. But even while: I was thinking of it my chair was. shaken so violently that I could liar_d% keep my seat, hold on as I would. ' Then pleadings, as if for mercy, and shrieks and groans followed each other in quick succession ; and, brave as I supposed myself to be, my nerves began to tremble, and a cold sweat began to start up:n' my forehead. Im vainl tried to reason that it'could not be from snpernatural causes; that the spirits ogthe departed are not allowed to revieit the earth. There were the effects, whatever thé cause, and they were entirely beyond my comprehengion. L) ot ; :

~ “Was there ever a murder,” I was about to ask, -“committed in this house " 'When I was interrupted by the ecresming of the younger woman. . “Murder! O heaven have mercy upon me.” A : : At the same instant the light that stood upon the table was extinguished, though no one was near it, and the house shook, dnd the rappings were renewed with tenfold violenee. - Evidently, 1 thought, I bad touched the key note of the mystery, when I heard a térrible groan, and saw, or thought I saw (which was it?) a form rise through the floor, and stand directly in front of me. : - «“Was there ever a murder committed in thiz house 7’ I asked again, though T fairly shuddered at the trembling and nnnatural sound of mny voice.

“Murder ! Look ! there he atands !” replied the mother, prostrating herself upon the floor, and hiding her face. “It’s his =spirit!” groaned the old woman, “I told you he’d come.” This was proof to my mind that I was not mistaken—that others saw as I did. Spirit: or mortal, there was somebody there. I closed my eyes, to be certain that it was notan optical delusion; ‘and when 1 removed my hands and opened them again, it still stood there. : It was the form of an old man, with long gray hair, s;roﬁgiy marked features and set eyes, of peculiar cunning expression—fox:like, would be ' the most proper terms ; ‘and in one hand he held a paper that rattled as if blown by astrong wind. His “hand was uncovered and his neck bare, and both were hacked and bleeding, great drops trickling down, and falling in a spatter upon the floor. * Once or twice he opened his mouth as if to speak ; but there was only a horrible gurgling sound—that which we call the geat%, rattle. How long we' retained our relative positions I can ‘mot tell. To me itseemed ‘an age. Stir I could not. I wascompletely under the power of the terrible fascination. At length, however, the ghost, spirit, or call it what you will, appeared to step towards to me,and stretch itg hand as if tolay upon my head. Then all my manhood deserted me, With a great groan I'sank back, and fell upon the floor, my chair being lifted by unseen hand, and dashed down again cracking in every joint.. ' " Quickly reason came to my aid, and I rose and locked anxiously around.— W hatever there had been before, there was none in the room then, except those of mortal mould; and all was silence, ‘except the storm that was still raging without, I scraped up all the embers, lit the c¢ancle, and looked at my. watch, IE'?:;:).B 12 o’clock.— The young ‘woman' jand the children were still in a corner,| and the old one rocking herself. as she had never ceased to do,-so far as I‘!wvas, aware. “Would the spirits retarn?’ . :

... LUrHERAN SYNOD. The Synod of Noriern Indiana of the “Evangelical Lutheran Church met in this plage, on Tuesday; September 28th, at 2 -o'cleck, p..M. The body was called to or‘der by the Rey, A..J. Cromer, of La Grunge, Tod, Secretary of the Synod.— - Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Smith, of Martingville, Indiana. = The first order of business was the electing of officers for ' the next ensuing year ; which resulted in _the electior: of the Rev. G. W. Wilson, of* "North: Manchester, Ind., as President ;— ‘Rev. J. N. Barnett, of White Pigeon, Mich,, as Secretary, and thie Rev. R. F. Delo, of Elkhart, Ind,, as Treasurer. The Secretary of the past year, A. J. Cromer, ‘read the annual report of the President; “ leporting ameng other thing, that: their President, the Rev. H. Weils, had re-. ~signed his position as President of the Synod and removed withous the jurisdiction of th s Synod. The report was received and referred to a committee consisting of * the ‘Revs. Delo, Hills, and Smith, ‘On motion, the Rev. M. Officer, “of the Home Mission Society of York, %n., was maide an advisory member, as also tlie Rev. J. Shafer, of Masillon, Ind,, and the Rev. M. 8. Mprrison, of Frankfort, Ind. On motion, it was ordered that the Tegular nieetin? be at 9 o'clock, o.M, and at. 2 poy. This finished the business of the first day and we are sorry to say that we were unable to take notes of the sub“sequent meetings, and can give but a brief - synopsis of the balance of the term. The body consisted of 32 preachers, and 22 lay delegates present. There are in the " district 76 churches, with a membership of 5,000 communicants. There were 431 accessions to the church within the last } year.. They report 443 dollars collected for the Home Mission Society, 7615 dollars for Foreign Missions, 376 dollars tor “educational purposes, 45 dollars for local “objects, and 6,157 dollars expended with_in the district in the last vyear, for building and repairing of churches, The Sy- ' nod adjourned on Saturday evening, to - meet on the Tuesday on or preceding the full moon in September, 1870, at North - Manchester, Ind'a. Before adjourning, they returned a vote of thanks to. the cit. Izens of Monroeville, for their hospitality to the delegates attending the conyention, #nd we are pleased to say, that we learned from private sourees,*that all the delegates felt the warmest gratitude to our citiz ns, for the elegant manner in which they were entertained while with us— There are about 45 ministers in all; members of this Synod, 12 being reported ab sent and we are pleased to say, that we have never met a more interesting set of - gentlemen, than those visiting us at this time. They were sociable and, affable, and indeed they proved themselves to be men of a high moral and religious character above those petty jealousies that so afflict similar bodies. We were surprised ‘at the christian charity extended by these men to other churches and to each other ‘upon .all those minor questions upon wliich there always have been differences of opinion. Politically, we learn that .the ministry of this body isaboutequally divided; there being three democratic ma Jjority, but no man is questioned as to his private opinions. As an example of their feelings , upon this subject, we will give an.idea that the Rev. Prof. I. Sprecher, .of Wittenberg College, Ohio, made. He: ;said: “That the man who would carry i’his politics with him into the pulpit was beneath the dignity of an honest man, much less that of a christian minister.”— Who can help but admive such a disposition in any man, much more one occupying a high place.in the religious ministry. It shows to every thinking inan that he is what be |professes to be—a minister of !Christ. This appear:d to be the feelings {and sentiments of all the members of thbh political parties, To the honest {Democrat this appears more beautiful, if {possible than to others, from the fact that it is but such a short time since we counld thardly attend divine service for fear of ibeing insnlted. We well remember the fepithets, the slang, the innuendoes, that bave been thrown at us within a very few years, by men professing to be minis fters of the christian religion. We are happy to say, thas the Evangelical Lutheran Church, of Northern Indiana, is not of the abusive kind. — Monroeville \Demoerat. . Y ; i

& Somie Queer Caleulations. * ‘Have you not often heard, or read, o statement: like this? ¢“The earth has been dug over many times, to bury ‘the millions who have lived on its surface.” Do you believe this? If you do, just follow me in a calculation. - T'he present population of the earth is ~oue thousand millions. Now suppos- . | ing that at the creation, there were one. thousand millions—instead of one pair —and at the end of thirty years, they '_ died and were buried; and their places taken by another one thousand™mil“‘lions; and so on -through the six ‘thousand years. This would give us a grand total of two hundred thousand (200,000,000,000) millions. Where ~can this immense and almost inconceivable number be buried? Let us see. The earth’s surface is 200,000,000 of square miles. This multiplied by 27,878,409 (the number of square “teet in a mile), and the. product divi‘ded by two hundred million, gives 55,2756 square feet for each and every one “of this vast number. This brought ‘into a square gives the very respectabie'sized Tot of 236 feet each way, or rnearly 15 rods square. . - Not very much crowding and dig- , ging over and over agiin, is there I— Decidedly better sized lots than Ce-: dar Hill ot Spring Grove affords.

' DANGERS OF MONOPOLIES. § Sveech of Senator Matt. Carpenter, of Wiscoksin ~The Power of Congress to Begnlate CommeEie. The Chicago Zriune publishesa Rall--report of the speech of United Stddes Senator, Matt. H. Carpenter, at the State Fair, in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday last, “on the growth of monopoly in the earrying on of business.” He used the report of the shipments from Milwaukee to the Eastern markets for 1868 as an illustration, saying that their total value was $29,219,000, on which there was aa expense of $3,659,507 tor traneportation.. Admitting that these transportation companies, under proper restrictions, are not only bharmless, but. absolutely a necessity ‘of our modern civilization, he urged that our institations are now in far greaer ~danger from the combinations of capifal, the great trinity of powerful railroad, Bx“press and telegraph companies, which Are struggling to control the destinies of J@is country, than they ever were fromlavery ; .because the public sentimerfiiof the country and of the world was agdifist: slavery, and the peaple always hadihe: power, if not the c¢onstitutional -righ ‘&‘tfn suppress it at any timie. .~ - -01 - Qur great passion'is love of wealth, d as every man. is impatient of results,iihe ‘great tendency is to the consolidatiol of ‘agencies to accomplish vast resalts:-spled-ily, so that whenever competition begins consolidation results. - ‘We have seen this in the express business, ‘the compefing companies having come to the not unhatural conclusion . that it would be more _profitable to -unite and plunder the people for their joint berefit' than it was to carry merchandise for too low rateg to amount to compensation. Various #legraph companies have passed througlithe same ‘experience and reached the samé@result.. Railroad companies, he continßed, _are not bebind in the wisdom ot this gen eration; and are now bending all’ tßeir energies to a consolidation which #ill prevent competition, and deliver the feople, bound hand and foot, into their Hender keeping. = For all practical purpdses ‘we have but -one telegraph compan§ in the United States, and : but one gxpress company. - If nothing is done to, c%pk the present tendencies, it will not'bedbng until we shall have but one railroad om pany in the United States. Slave-liold-ers could plot in secret, buttheymug go out publicly to execute their plans § the railroad; express, and telegraph busthess of the United States, embracing urtold millions of capital, reaching into dviry village of the ‘country, may all be ﬁian‘aged by a_Board of fif*cen - directors, sitt: ing with clesed doors, by candle-light, 'in Wall street, What they determine aipon they nced not submit to public examination, mor to the contingency of a general election by the people; and thus a power more formidable: than the power of this gigantic: national government, be: cause Inore closely touching the rights and pockets of the people, will.come: to be exercised by a few men whose interests in all things are directly opposcd fo the interests of the people,. without the consent_ ot even the knowledge of the people. . o b e Railroad companies first, sought fran chises from the State upon. the :gm@uj that railways were publie highways, &ad ‘as mnch- under the control of the legigla tive power as any other highways. Théhn, too, the infuential and wealthy men aff o community formerly became stockholdéis, and controlled the roads in-the inter#’st of the communities along: the line. - N b all this is change, and the . tockholde?s, instead of being the -business men of gie ‘communities interested in the mana ﬁ ment of the roads, are a few immense c%g italists residing elsewhere. = The theofy’ upon which tne reads ‘were built-is glgochanging, and the supreme. courts of Wi consin-and lowa have recently decided that a railroad company is a mnere privite corporatian, over which the State Legislature has no more power :than it has over a bank, a manufacturing company, or, a grist mill. The Supreme Court of Town, in a receut case, said as follows: . “Itis to be remembered also that,tl% .railway corporations are not organize for the purpose of developing the materi: al prosperity cf the State—this is a mere ‘incidentt of the business they proseecule.. But they are organized sclely to make money for their stockholders, and the ‘Legislature has no more power over their property and rights than it has over the like property and - rights of natural persons or other private corporations ™ = Suclt a declaration, Mr. Carpenteg taid, was not less fmportant than the Dtred Scott decision; for it is evident that if, the doctrine be conceded that our railroads are mere private property, and Leg: islatures powerless to control ‘_,tl_iem.,thej grossest abuses and oppressions will follow. States assumed to: regulate the rat of interest.on money, where therc can be, no monopoly, as it is within the power o most citizens to loan it. Thereshounld be; control over railroads, becauce they at"e% necessary monopolies, with which eitizens: gannat competes el e 0 e . Coming to the consideration of reme dies,. Mr. Carpenter contended thatalthough an effort to control railroade on the part of different States ‘would resolt ‘in confusion, a 8 many railroads crossed several States, it was still within the con. stitutional power of the general govern-’ ‘ment to control them, under the clause ‘which gives Congfess the power to regulate commerce betwecn the States. IHe. ‘also contended that as th: power to regu late commerce includes the powerto facilitate commerce, the government might build roads between .such: prominent ‘points as the general .interests :of commerce might require; .and make them ‘common highways over which any mer‘chant’ or farmer might run‘a tram of cars, on conforming to such regulations as -should be subseribed. ' 'This, he thodght, the government - could do much more cheaply than private corporations, because the former bas greater means and ‘can do work upon a greater scale, while' the. corporation ‘is often - compelled ‘to ‘mortgage its road before it is completed and to give contracts in which directors are interested, .

4 usiiau s oo |From the Gasben Times. A word on this subject may not be amiss. It is difficalt: to lay down a rule that ‘will apply to every case, but there are a few general ideas that it may be well to thiskof. ©~ = 7 - 1. Den’t sell yéur wheat until you ° have it. That ie, don’t run in debt to the amount of néxt year’s crop: as soon as you have sown it. There are some cases where it cannot be avoided, but. in nine cases out of ten there is no use in putting'a mortgage on : your crop before it grows. fopd ‘ ‘2. All experience shows that the sooner the crop is sold after being harvested and. ready for market, the better. Generally it brings a - better price, and the great advantage is it enables you to pay your debts ; keeps the rats and mice from destroying it, saves it from being burned up like that unfortunate -case on Elkhart : Prairie, and gives everybody some- - thing to do. Seedtime and hacrvest come_every year, and it is distrusting Providence to hold your crop over year after year, as thongh His promises might fail, and famine with its mildewed fingers be permitted to blight the land. Save a part of your crop till spring, if you are out of debt, and can afford to, don’t borrow money at ten per cent: when the wheat is wasting in your barns. L ; -3, If you make a bargain' to sell your wheat at a stipulated price, stick to it though the Heavens fall. - Don’t fly from your bargain and squeeze out a little more than you have got if the price goes down, or find you haven’t got half so biga crop as you thought you had, if the price goes up. In all matters of this kind be just as scrupulous to fulfil your engagements 48 if it were ‘under bond and seal. :

-4. Is it a good time to sell now when the price is.down.to a dollar or less? If you dont sell what will, you do with it? The world is full of wheat—crops are. abundant all over Europe and America, We have raised millions of bushels more than we can consume. ~Oursurplus must find a a foreign market or waste away upon our hands. -Since the Ist day of September we have shipped from the port of New York 223,031 barrels of flour, and 3;296,290 of wheat to foreign ports. Great Britain is our principal market, and all the wheat producing countries of the world are trying to supply it. 'lihe»‘grice in Liverpool is $2 08 per hundred pounds in gold, to which add thirty per cent for the premiam on gold, and the price in greenbacks in Liverpool is ‘52.70 per hundred, or $1.62 per bushel. ' Now, it costs 40 cents per bushel to transport the wheat from Goshen to New York; and 18 cents per bushel from. New York te Liverpocl, so that at .one dollar per bushel a shipper might get his money back, but not a cent for profit. The millers then are paying all they can afford to pay, and the prospect is not, brilliant for the fature. There must be a great failure in next year’s crop or the price will go still lower.— We have had the seven years of plenty—big crops, big prices, running up from two to three .dollars per bushel for wheat. It was agood thing while it, lasted, but it never ought to last.— Let .us accept the present situation with /thankfulness, and pray God it may never be worse. AGRICOLA.

( ‘Rapidity of thought in Dreaming.. -. A remarkable circumstance, and an important point -of analogy is, says - Dr. Forbes Winslow, to be found in " the exireme rapidity with: which the | mental operations are performed, or | rather with which the material changes on which the ideas depend are excited !‘. in the hemispherical ganglia. It would -appear us it a whole series of acts, - that would really occupy a long lapse ot time, pass ideally through the mind l~ in one instant. 'We have in’ dreams ' no perception of the lapse of time—a strange property of mind’; for if such be also its property when entered into the eternal disembodied state, time will. Lappear to us eternity, The relations ,of space as well. as of time are also ' annibilated, so that while almost an. eterpity is' compressed -into a moment, infinite spac@ is traversed more swiftly than by real thought.
