RING THE BELL SOFTLY. Some one has gone {rom this strabge world of ours, ; 4 No more to gather its thorns with its flowers ; No more to hioger where sunbeams must fude, Wherel on all beauty, death’s cold fiugers are aid g g { Weary with mingling life’s bitter and sweet, Weary with parting and never to meet, . : ~ome one has gone 10 the bright golden shore. Ring the bell softly, there’s crape on the door, Ring the bell softly, theré's crape on the door! Kome one i 8 resting from sorrow and sin, Huappy where earth’s couflicts enter not in ; Joyous as birds, when the morning is:bright, When the sweet sunbeams have brought us " their light, = Weary of sowing and never to reap. Weary with lubor and welcoming sleep— Some one’s deprirted to heaven's bright shore, . Ring.the bell softly, there's crape on the door, Ring the belil softly, there’scrape on the door! Angels were anxiounsiy longing to meet” Ope who walks with them in heaven's bright sireet, ‘ : RN Loved ones have whispered that some one is blessed, ~ ° nEge Free from-earth’s trials ard taking sweet rest, - Yes! there's oné more in angelic bliss— Ong less to cherish, and one less to kiss; Ring the bell softly, there’s erape on the door, Ring the bell softly, there’s erape on the door !

‘A Lesson to Parents. ) / . i I had been married fitteen years.— ‘Three beautiful daughters enlivened the domestic hearth,; the youngest: of whom was in her eighth year. A more happy and contented household was no where to be found.- My wife was amiable,intelligent, and contented. We were not wealthy ; but providence had pregserved us from want; and we had learned that ‘“contentment without wealth, is better than wealth without contentment.”’. : e : It was my custom, when returning home at night, todron into one of the many shops that are constantly open in the business streets of the metropo-lis,-and purchase somr trifling dainties, such as f.uit or confectionery, to present -to mother and the children. I need not say how delighted the little oneg were at this slight expression of paternal consideration.” On one occa--B.on 1 had purchased some remarkably fine. apples. After the repast, half a dozen were left untouched and my thrifty companion forthwith removed them to the place of deposit, where it was her custom to preserve the remains of our nick-nacks. A day ortwo after, when I had seated myself at the table to dine, she sail to me smilingly : “So, father has found' the way to my safety box, has he?” I was at allossto understand the meanipg, and desired her to explain. “Have you not been in my drawer ?”’ «“What drawer 7’

“I'be upper drawer in my chamber burean. Did you not take therefrom the largestofthe pippens T had put away for the girls 17 “No—l did not !” . : ~ “You did not 7" A slight cloud pass over the countenance of my wife. . She was troubled. The loss of the apple was in itself nothing ; but we had carefully instrueted our children not to-appropriate to their use, any article whatever of fami ly consumption without permission, when the demand was at all reasonable, thad never been denied them, she was loth to suspect any one of them of the offense. We had a servant girl in the family, but as she was supposed to know nothing of the apples, my wife hesitated to charge it upon her. She at length broke the silence by saying ;

.«We must examine the affair. 1 can hardly think one of the children would so act. If we find them guilty, we must reprove them. Will yon please look into it ?” e . The girls were separately called into my presence ; the eldest.first, - “Kliza, did you take from your mother’s drawer, an apple 7” ]

“No, gir.” S : 5 - “Maria, did °‘you take from your mother’s drawer, an apple 1"’ ' Nopap o oo b ¢“Mary, did you take from your mother’s drawer, an apple ?”’ : sNo s ; : -

It must have been taken by the gervaut; call her to me,” said I ad: dressing my wife. - : ~ “Nell, how came you to take from the drawer of your mistress, without permission, the largest apples she had placed there 7" : el “Wot apples N “Did you taks no apple from the drawer of your mistress?’ - %No sa.” o

Now. it was evident that falsehood existed somewhere. Could it be that one of my children had told me a lie ? The thought harra:sed me. I was not able to attend to my byginess. I went to the store—but soon returned again. Meanwhile, the servant-girl had communicated to her mistress that she had seen our ' youngest go into the garret with a large apple, the morning before. On' exmination, the core, and several pieces -of the rind were found upon the floor. I again called Mary to me, and said to her affectionately : -“Mary, my . daughter, did you not go into the garret yesterday #’ “Yes, sir.” : = , “Did you go there with an apple’ “No sir.”’ il i “Did you notice anything on the floor?” e A . «No, sir.” g o b

I was unwilling to believe my sweet child capable of telling we a falsehood : but appearances were against her — The fault lay betweenher and the servant, and while I was derirous to acquit my child, I did not wish to accuse unjustly the negro. I therefore took Mary into'my room alone, I spoke to her of the enormity of lying—of the necessity of telling the truth—of the severe punishment I should be com pelled to inflict upon her, if she did not confess the who'e to me, and with tears in my eyes urged her to say that she had doue it, if indeed she had. Gwadnally, I became convinced of her guilt ; and now I felt determined she should confees it. My threatenings were not without effect. = After weeping and _protesting her innocence, aug weeping ‘and again protesting, my threats seem‘ed’to alarm her, aud falling upon her knees, shesaid: | - “Faher, | did take the apple.” . Never shall I forgetthat moment — My. child confessed that she was a liar, in my presemce! .& . ... : Ewﬁmﬁpg»,,my ;mﬁ retired ; and ‘&’17,“?'.%{0“1 from " her position,

ran to her mother, and ina paroxysm of grief cried out : - o e “Mother, I did not take the ar ple.— But father, has made me coufess that 1 did.” e o T Here was a new aspect of affairs.— Lie. multipligd vpon le. Could it be possible! My tfear Mary, who had never been known to ‘deceive us—so affectionate—so gentle—ego truthful in all the past—could it be pos~ible that she was a confirmed liar! Necessity was stronger than the tenderness of the father, I chastised her for the first time in my life—severly chastised her! It almost broke her heart—and I may add, it almost broke mine also. Yet” Mary was innocent! After. events proved that the negro was the thief. She had conjured up the story of the garfet,, knowing that Mary would not deny having been there, and to make the circomstances strong against her, had strewn apple rinds on the floor. I never think of the eventwithout tears. But it has taught me a useful lesson, and that is never to threaten a child into a lie, when it may be he is telling the truth. The only" lie T ever knew Mary to tell me, I mygelf f rced upon her by threatenings. - It has also fixed ih my mind the de. termination to employ no servant in ! my family, when I can possibly do without. i “ Robison’ Crusoe’s Isiand. ‘ If thereis one spot on earth in which all who sp-ak the English language may be said to take a common interest, it is the island of Juan Fernandez. The favorite tale of nearly every childhood is by most of us re- | membered through life with grateful affection, and the scene of the marvelous incidents shares in our regard.— | It may be true that the proper Robi- ’ gon Cru oe’s Island was not off the coast of Chili at all, but.in the mouth | of the Orinoco; and it may also be true that the continent should be called | Columbia and not America ; but hab. | it has ende red in both cases the exis- | ting usage so that imagination takes | precedence of what is our ought to be | fact, and the coutinent will be America and Juan Fernandez Robiszo i Cru soe’s Island until the end of the chap- | ter. : dagoiite o i

As most readers are aware, this classic corner of the earth is in latitude 33 degrees 40 minutes South; about 400 miles off the coast of Chili, and is about the size of Statan Island. It is, ‘however, far more ruggedly picturesque: than that bewutiful suburb, and boasts one mountain. Yangue, that towers 4.000 feet above the sea. Around it grows in luxuriant abundan e various grains, peaches, figs, and other fruits, together with the sandal wood tree ahd the cork; and among these disport themselves—or did a few years ago—many wild goats; and not a few wild horses. ‘ o ;

Excellent fish are abundant there, and with the sweetest of water and a delicious climate, and a moie inviting gpot can hardly be imagined. So thought the early Fuccaneers who made it a resort for many a day, and so though afterward American and English whalers who touched there for supplies. 5} ; For some years the Chilian government has broken the solitude of:the’ place by making it a penal colony; but the convicts rose in revolt, there was some blood shed, a village that. had been built at Port Cumberland, the harbor, was burned, and the authorities, after ferreting out and putting to death the wretches who, on completing their work of destruction, bad fled to the woods, abandoned the island to the goats and horses. . Subsequently, two or three wandering Chilians found shelter there, and ekgd out a livelihood, the generous soil for the most part gasily supplying them, and selling to ships vegetables and water. : ‘ Iu 1849, when the memorable rush was made for the gold fields of California, some of the ships boundthither, around Cape Horn, touched at Juan Fernandez. . They found there, begides some.half a score of Chilians, including women and children, the mate of an American whaler, who, like Selkirk, had left his vessel from choice to dwell upon-the island, and who had: a family 'by one of thesChilian women: This man looked not unlike the pic-: tures of “Robison Cruspe’s” having garments of goat ekin, a long beard, and that expression of protound yet melancholy calm which people who live in solitude are prone to have.—He seemed, notwithstanding, to be contented, and spoke not of leaving the place, or of any wish to change his condition. A groito near theshore he poiuted out as Robison Crusoe’s Cave, and showed other spots ideuntifying them with loealities spoken o in Defoe's story. He appeared to regard himgelf as Selkirk's representative, and to take pride in being 0 accepied. Twenty years ceem to have passed after this without any other or more definite use being made of Juan Fer-’ nandez ; but last winter it was ceded by the Chilian government to a company of Germang, who are led by one Robert Wfﬁ}rhan?a Saxon: engineer. He and his society have mnow taken possesion of the island, and propose to make it their home. They number some sixty or seventy individuals, and have taken with them eows and other cattle, swins, fowls, all kinas of agricultural impliments, with boats and fishing apparatus, and tools for the ‘various mechanical trades. = =

It is'said that Wehrhan left Germany eleven years ago, and, after passing some time in England, was engaged on railways in South America. While there he conceived the idea that hie has now carried. into effect. This is a repetition on a larger scale of the experiment of Piteairn’s Island, -without, of course, the crimioal preface that stained the historv of the crew. of

that stained the history of the crew of the Bounty, The world will watch the career ‘of this little colony with deeply interested eyes; for apart from the curiosity and sympathy naturally attracted by the experiment itself, no mdre engaging.spot. conld have been chosen in ‘;;ﬁi{;hw make it than that which is cherished in so many hearts as Robison (rusoe’s Island.— New York Tomes, <7 <ii . i

OO MANY FAMILIES TO SUPPORT. John—l don’t see why-we can’t get along as well as we did ten years ago. I work® harder now than then, and more hours ina day. I don’t spend a cent unnecessarily; and yet I find it a struggle to live. We used to live pleniifully, dreéss well, and have help for you. I could lay up something for a rainy day at the end of every week. ' B e val el

Wife—True, John; but then you only bad one family to maiutain; now, you rupport a great number, - ~ Jobu--A great number, do yon say ?. I don’t understand you. ] Wife—Well, I'll tell you, John, for you bave worked too hard, and been too tired to read the wewspapers, and: too much, harassed in providing for the family to think and invesiigate.— I said you now have to help support a great many families, while in older times you hadn’t any to labor for but your own. There iz the “Collector,” the “Assessor,” “Detective,” who informs on your neighbors. You have to support the families of all these; help to buy pianos and silks for their wives and daughters and help to educate their children. Then there’s the bondholder, -who gives champagne dinners, and burdens his table with silver plate, and travels in Europe, and pays no taxes. All thisis done on his gold interest, which is paid him twice a year. And then, there is the the tariff robber, whe makes an annual profit of one hundred per cent. almost all of which is a theft from hon est toil. So you see, John, after you, give a part of every day’s earnings to each of these purposes; there can be no great deal left for your family.— You didn’t bave to give your earnings for any of those purposes when James Buchanan was President, and g 0 we lived easily and well: . . i Johp—Why. wife, you amaze me. I never stopped to think of these mat- | ters, thongh I knew something was’ wrong. Nor do' I ‘now exactly see how I am robbed for these purposes. Wife—Well, John, 'l tell you. We used to get coffee for ten cents a pound: Now we pay thirty-five. We use two pounds a week and on this single article fifty cents are taken from your weekly wages and divided between bondholders, and coHectors, assessors, and detectives. There .is a like addition on the cost of tea, and of sugar, wolasses and rice. Every addition to the price of these articles is a tax imposed by the Government ‘to raise moue s to bondholders, collectors, assessors, and detectives. Every pair of boots you buy, you pay double price for. And the extra cost _goes to the sapport of tariff robbers, government léeches, had no existence in democratic days: Our rent, you know, is a great deal higher; [and the landlord sai | he had 10 raise because he has to pay an income tax, and the higher for tor, ouffo , owßar, and other provisions, than ten years ago, when he gavo us. rent so cheap. Som times you chew tobacco, or smoke a c:gar; and for these you pay just thrice what you had to pay in Buchanan’s time ; and all thiz extra cost is tax, to enable bondholders, collectors, assessors, and' detectives to live'in luxury and idleness. So you see, John, your week s hard toil iz made to contribute to the support of many families, it is no wonder we live pvor and hard, that we may have sometimesa barely the necessaries of life, and - that-our children don’t go to school becanse we haven’t money to buy them books and suitable. clothes. : ' - Exit John, determined ta vote with the party hereafter which desires that the laboring man shall have a fair day’s wages for a fair day’s work, and that the proceeds shall go to the support of his ¢wn family. s i ik

. Correspondence of the Philadelphia Age. Negro Deviltry in Pennsylvanin. Shrewsbury, York County, Pa., Oct; 4.— On Wednesday, 29th ult; Miss Relp, a mest estimable lady, 65 years old, from the city of Baltimore, visiting her friends some' eight miles sontheast of this place, was attuked by -a buriy young negro, Jim Quinn, who, after knocking her down, dragged her some |distance into a woods near at hand; she, by this time, somewhat ' recovered from the blow, and wrought to a frenzy, resisted until overpowered by the superior strength of her assailant. In -the struggle her clothing | was thearly all torn' from 'her person, which the hellish fiend twisted into ropes, and bindjng her hands and feet to different trees, perpetrated his diabolical pur- - poses.

. A TRANSFER OF POWER. - ‘The Chicago Republican shows that in the re apportionment of representation in Congrexs, on the basis of the census of 1870, the centre of political power will swing westward from somewhere in the neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, to a point at, or near Lafayette, Indiana: The six New England States which in 1840, had 38 Representatives, will, in 1870, have only 22, as follows: . 7

In estimating the increased- political power of the West we must add to these the Pacific States, which, in 1840, were not, which now have only five members of Congress, but which, after 1870, will probably have seven or eight, making in all ninetytwo or ninety-three members west of Pittsburg and north ‘of Cairp.— The change between the periods named in the representative strength of New England and the other Eastern or Atlantic States combined, will be substantially as follows: = | L by

From these figures it is argued that in any issue in which the entire New Eng: Jand and Middle States, includirg Delaware and Maryland, might be arrayed on one side, and the Western and Pacific States on the other, the latter would pre vail by & majority of seven votes. In any issue wherein ' Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Southwestern States are united with the Westerrt and Pacific, as, for instance, in the removal' of the Capital the improvement of the Mississippi, the devel opment of mining resources, the equitable national adjustment of taxation, and the like, the majority would be larger. This also points, in the estimation of the western press, to the speedy removal of the National Capital to the valley of the Mississippi. el ————— How Alcohol Intoxicates. ' It is not. the presence of the alcohol which intoxicates, but the absence of oxygen which is procuced by tbe too rapid aleoholic ‘combustion. A small dose of aleohol stimulates eombustion’; produces, consequently, more *heat, and more cellalar activity ; but in the degree that the alepholic absorption is increased, and the oxygen, 'which can not be furnished -so quick. by the lungs, is decreased, and combustion of carbon ceases; the blood of a drunken man isconsequently black. The cellular action becomes irregular and interrupted ; the e¢ells of the brain (of the small first) lose their nourishment ‘and give up; and all motions become irregular, until totally prevented. A drianken man is insensible, and can be considered dead until the alcohol has passed out,’and the newly absorbed oxygen begins again to kindle up new combustion of the extingnished materi al. Gradually the cells begin -to act again; reason returns; afterwards mo: tion; but it is a long time before the appetite returns. ~The stomach refuses all food until combustion is in full action again. = When a drunkard awakes he chills with cold, ’and he anxiously seeks the fire-place in thé hottest sum.. mer. ~ His nerves shake from the overuse they bad to endure. , = . - His mouth is dry, so'is his stomach; he is tired, but can not sleep; his eyes are dim, yet constantly open ; his skin is cold and dry ; his palse weak and quick; all the cells of the animal function have been abused, and can not perform their office until stimulated and revived by alcohol, or until pormal combustion has renourished them ; and because the latter is slow in its operations and processes under these circumstances, while Elcxe former is quick and rapid in its results, he dArinks and drinks and -drinks again.— Cell after cell, therefore, becomes lost, without being replaced. The stomach, intestines and skin become thinner and thinner ; the liver and muscle cells change into fat-cells. 3 :

Finally the blood vessels in the stom ach and ' intestines become visible, and enlarge for want of pressure; they get thinner and thinner until they burst.— The nerve cells can resist the longest ; as long as they are constantly kept on aleo hol they ihold out at the expense of all others ; but woe to them when the alco hol isonce wanting ; then they revolt in wild spasmodic=action;«-the mind wanders ; horrid pictures of crawling snakes, of ghawing rats and biting reptiles appear; this is delirium tremens, el

After a long contest in court, a majority of the Radical judges in Philadelphia bave agreed to oust all the demoeratic of. ficers elected iu the city, last fall, excepting Mayor Fox. From Congress to the State Legisl: ture, and from the Legislathire to the Courts has the canker of Rad: ical corruption eaten its way. An election by the people amounts to nothing. — If not of a stripe to snit them, a democrat elected to congress is voted out; so are democratic members to the legislature ;— and, finally, such as can not be reached in this way, are ousted from office by the decision of Radical judges. The way it is done, is this: In democratic districts on election day Radical rowdies go there and kick up a row. If the Radical can-: didates are ¢lected, all is right and no more is suid about it ; -but if the Demo: crats are elected the election is contested, and by reason of the riot and rascality: practised by Radicals on election day the R:&c_}ic};fjud es decide, what? To purge the electidi‘k‘% No. But taey decide ina most shameless manner to*throw out the votes of entire districts! In this way they have just ousted the Demwocratic officers of Philadelphia.—-Selinsgrove (Pa.) Times. i A : , A little two year old boy of W, H.

- Father Hyacinthe and the Papacy. ‘ Father Hyacinthe has been “interviewed,” and a statement_of his relations to the chur:h, made by the New York 7ribune, is furnished by the tel graph. He is not an Ultra montanist, that is.ah adherent of the Papacy through “thick and thin,” as the Italian clergy generally are, - and he does not believe that blind taith .in the Pope, or his office, id any necessary ‘vpart of the creed.or conduct of a true Cathplic. He hopes the . Ecumenical Council will not affirm, as church doctrines, the dogma. of the Pope’s infallibil_ity, and some others, which have grown - up into formidable strength since the ~Council of Trent, but Teave all political questions, those: that would place . the: church in antagonism to the progress of ‘the age, to individual convictions, or har monize them with the spirit of liberalism. He séems to abandon nothing 1n the Cath: olic creed, but to base his action mainty, if not solely, on the sbuse of-the church organization and government. His diff erences’ from -the Papacy are politicat rather, than doctrinal; and it is said by. these in the church who ought to know, that he will be defended in the Council by at least four French Bishops, and by several of the ablest of-our American: . Bishops. | The feeling among tathelics in this country is adverse.to allowing the extravagant claims made for the Pope by the Ultra r.ontanists. *They are imbued with enough of the feeling of the country and the people to'repel the idea of heing the submissive suhjects of anybody in their own affairs, and yielding their wills _to any claim of superior authority. They believe in *popular sovereignty” to some _extent, as has been shown in Buffalo, Chi. . ¢ago and other plaees, and sooner or la.: ter they avill claim and exercise an authoritative control in the management of l their parishes. All this feeling will fight the reactionary impulse which convoked } the council resolutely, and, we may hope, successfully. . If it does, Pere Hyacinthe _.will not be excommunicated by either the minor or major “cussing,” but he ay head a liberal schism, which shall be far - more formidable,- and. more fortunate, than that of Port Royal in its enconnter with the Jesuits of the Sorbonne, =

Guard Against Vulgar Language. There is as much connection between the words and thoughts as there is between the thoughts and actions. The latter is only the expression of the former, but they have a. power to react upon the soul, and leave a stain of corruption there, ‘A young man who allows himsgelf to use one vulgar or profane word ‘has’ not only shown there is a foul spot upon his mind, but by the appearance of that word he ‘extends that spot, and inflames it, till, by indulgence it will pollute and ruin the soul.” Be careful of your words ad of your thoughts. E g If you can so conirol the tongue Jhat no improper words are pronounced by it, you will soon be able to control the mind, and save it from corruption. - You extingunish the fire by smothering it, or by prevepting bad thoughts bursting into language.— Never utter a word anywhere which you would be ashamed to speak in the presence of the most reﬁhe({ Try this praciice a little while, and you will soon have command of yourself. el B— e ¢ Too Much Land. : ‘The following paragraph from an exchange is worth more than a mere corner in a news colomn: .~ Itis said that when mechanics have ‘land they generally give it better cnltivation than farmers, and consequently bave more grapes, pears, strawberries and watermelons, and earlier po‘tatoes and eucumbers.
