PASSING.

The December days are rapidly chasing each ol her, and so»a we shall be one year nearer :o the end. WB nevcrshall forget how strongly in our earlier days wc were interested in the sto-j-y ol the traveler who sat by the river and *y by day waited for the waters to flow away, in order that he might cross to the other side. The years were longer then than now, the rain beat with a merrier tingle on the shingles, the robin had more music in his voice, and even the grass and the flowers wore livelier hue. We thought the traveler very absurd, and laughed at tho folly which could weary out his patience before he could resell the haven desired. As we have grown older, we arrive at the conclusion that like the wayfarer, we are all alike—3-oung, middle-aged and old—sitting by the river side, waiting for the tide to abate, until, dry shod, we can reach the oppo-, site shore.

The story, a fable then, has grown into a reality which we cannot deny, much as we may tinge the acts of oar life with romance, and weave for ourselves a false existence trom the tising to tho setting of the sun. Seated on tho banks, we see the stream flow by, dashing over rocks, circling into eddies, sweeping away into whirlpools, a calm surface here and a ruflled breast yonder, green flowers upon its shores here and weeping willows there, sunshine and glootn at iutorvals making new pictures with every movement of the sun, all form tho scenes of every-day life, as wo sit by the river ol time and await the hour when we shall be called to tread the distant shore.

Asleep or awake, active or indolent, we may move along, but the tide will roll away and bring the wasting of the waters when the Moses of our existence shall stretch forth his wand and bid the sun of our lifetime stand still forever moro. The traveler of the fablo is tho sojourner along the stream of time, and the laugh at his credulity, indulged In many a weary year ago, waxes into a grim smile as we sit down beside him and gaze upon the bubbling tide. The funeral train, the weeping friends, and the entire story is told, the waters have passed away before the waiting travoler, and he treads the distant shore.

IN the Constitutional Convention of Pennsylvania, a resolution has been introduced to alter the law of libel in that Stato so that the truth of an alleged libelous statement may be a good defence when the publication has been made with a proper motive. The old law, "the greater the truth the greater tho libel," was tho monstrous invention of a benighted ago when there was no press, or when the Influence of a free press was unknown. It was wrong In policy, becauso It sought to protect men of ovll inclinations and wicked habits from all responsibility save to tho criminal courts. It aimed vainly to secure tho benefits of a good reputation to persons who had not the slightest claim to respectability or character, and hence it was but a snare to better peoplo. That any trace of such an infamous law remains atnong American institutions is perhaps due to the superstitious veueratlon of our lawyer statesmen for the antiquities of British jurisprudence. Away with it! A little common sense is all that Is wanted to furnish in its stead a law of libel at once compatible with the functions of a free press and ample to protect the citizen from false and injurious publications., _1111_—11.^_-lil-li—_

IN central Kentucky there has recently been discovered an immense hole in the earth, circular in form, sixty or seventy feet in diameter, of a funnel shape for twenty-five or thirty feet, when the diameter is diminished to ten or twelve feet. Below this point it has never been explored, and sinks to an unknown depth. On throwing a stobe into this hole or sink, its ring as it strikes the sides gradually dies away without being heard to strike any bottom. It is supposed that visitors have already thrown more than 100 cart omds of

MB. STANUKY, the discovererof Livingstone, has made a flat failure as a lecturer. The first night the ball was only half filled, and his turtfd style and faulty elocution drove away most of those present. The course which was to have coualsted of eight lectures closed with the second. Stanley Is under contract to deliver a hundred lectures for |S0,600, bnt with this feilnre at the outset his employer will doubtless be glad to obtain a release ol the engagement.

A FIRE in the Fifth Ayenne Hotel New York, Tuesday night, roasted to death half a score of servant girls. It is said they perished from the criminal carelessness of the proprietors, or a desire to keep the fire secret.

AN amendment of the Constitution by which provision shall be made for a more direct vote by the people for President and Vice-President is now in order. It would apparently command nearly universal support.

WE direct the attention te the appeal from the Ladies' Aid Society, who propose to establish "Home" for worthy poor, sick, and infirm old women.

A CLERICAL gentleman named Watson, residing in Tennessee, has been drummed out of the congregation of the faithful for writing an heretical book entitled "The Clock Struck One." After his painful experience, it seems to u^ that Watson would do well to change the name ot his book, and call it "The Clock Struck Two," the church and Watson both evidently being hard hit.

BEER DRINKERS, did you see Harper's Weekly last week. In Dore's pictures of the "Great Beer Vats" and "Houses of London," there is one which represents ton nearly naked fellows, up to their middles a vat "mixing the malt." Ugh! Just for a moment give a thought to their standing in society, and the condition their carcasses and feet aro in. Horrible! Think of It, drink of it, then, if you can Swill down whole quarts of it ugh, dirty man

PLUTO'S tradition of the lost continent is being verified by leading geologists and that the space now occupied by tho Atlantic Ocean was once that continent. Upon the Rocky Mountains abundant evidence of the theory that they are outskirts of it are found in the aquatic plants and shells strewn over them. The White Mountains and the Adirondacks are also recognized by those interested as high points ri the boundary of the country which lies under the sea.

AN eminent horseman who occupies a position on the editorial staff of the New York Times discourses as follows on the management of runaway horses "Always stick to yosr horses so long as they are fast to the carriage. If a line breaks, or a bit gives way, step out of the fore end of the carriage, even when the team may be running, take hold of the harness and spring on the back of one of the animals. Once astride of a horse, one can reach forward, grasp his nose, and soon check his speed." The plan of the Times man is surprisingly slmploandso easy of execution that we wonder no one has brought it out before. Still, on the score of convenience, we can suggest an improvement. Without '.'stepping out of the fore end of the carriage," let the driver take firm hold of the tall of the stampeding horse and lift his hind legs clear off the ground. With his legs once in this position, the remainder of the task is an easy one. You have only to hold him thus till his ebullition of fright or viciousness is over and you are safe. y,*

CHILDREN'S PARTIES. The "Editor's Easy Chair" in Harper's Magazine lor December, has these home truths and sensible remarks in speaking of "a child's hop:"

It was certainly pretty, but is wis ft very sober spectacle. Children are naturally gay, and tbey frolic and dance and romp with a will. But childhood seemed to have been eliminated from those little folks. They were sallow and anxious and worn. And how stupid and sleepy tbey must have been next morning! how unwillingly, with no shining morning face, tbey must have crept to school! And what poor little abused bodies they are. and how surely the freshness and charm or life are being destroyed for them! Yet, Mrs. Ad sends her children, and what can Mr. Bad, Cad, and Daa do but send theirs? And if Mrs. Thompson's daughter has a silk dress caught up and flounced with lace and flowers, 1 know, my dear that you do not wish to have your daughter disgraced, and I take care that our dear girl shall be as splendid as any of them!

These are the lessons that the children learn, and in turn, ss parents teach. And it is curions that the American theory of everybody's being as good as any body has this perversion that every body must dress and do as any body does. Every body who yields to the manis of extravagance for children makes it harder for every body else not to yield. But there is no u«e in preaching about it, if only the pleasure of your company Is requested at a child's hop. Then you see for yourself. There is nothing more meumcboly than such a spectacle at a watering-place hotel! The forward rudeness of the poor little overdressed figures Is pitiful. The sweet modesty of childhood, the breexy bloom of health upon toe cheek, the plain, simple dress, the artless ardor of joy—all that Is loveliest In the lovely age Is wanting at the child's hop.

JOSIPH H. BLAKE certainly is no entitled to a seat as County Commissioner, aud he might partly regain favor by stepping aside for Mr. Fellenzer, before compelled by tiie courts to do so. Mr. John G. Williams, with great carefulness and considerable labor, has searched tho records,, running back to the year 1818, and. in a lengthy statement published in the Express, on Thursday, clearly demonstrates that Mr. Blake is usurping the office of Commissioner, and that Mr. Fellenzer was entitled to the seat on the first of the present month.

SAD ACCIDENT.—On Saturday night last Thomas W. Dowling, a printer, was found by a policeman in the alley just below the top of the outside stairs leading to the second story of the "Printing House." On taking him to his boarding house it was found that his skull was fractured, and death ensued at two o'clock the following afternoon. On Tuesday the members of the Typographical Union deposited his remains in the cemetery. Poor Dowling! —of a kind, generous disposition, of neat and genteel personal appearance, unassuming, retiring, even to bashfulness, industrious and careful printer— he was his own worst enemy. His Industy is shown by the tact that in 1 hd Mail office, where he was temporarily employed, he prepared his "case" Saturday afternoon and requested "copy" in time for an early start on Monday morning-little dreaming that "Monday morning" would never more come to him. Ho was intoxicated Saturday and it is supposed fell from the top of the outside stairs to the ground below. His sad death should be a terrible warning to his lat# companions and all young mechanics who are disposed to squander their hard week's earnings in a Saturday night debauch, to the certain ruin of body and-soul.

RESCINDED.—On Tuesday afternoon

last

Commissioners Weeks and Raiding met at the Auditor's office. The two constituting a qftorum, the court was organised, and Mr. Weeks presented a preamble and resolutions rescinding tho contract for the erection of a court house. Mr. Balding assented to it, and tbe Auditor was ordered to spread It on record. Just then Mr. Blake, the other commissioner, came in. Several members of the "Committee of Safety" were present, and of these he ssked somewhat angrily and petulantly, what tbey wanted. He Was shown tho orderjnst passed. In an excited manner he exclaimed, "I protest!" but his protest only weift so far as to show that he was still "joined to his Idols." Commissioners Weeks and Balding are deserving of the gratitude of the people of this county, from whom this action takes a heavy load. We sincerely believe thst In this whole matter they thought they were doing their duty. They were over-reached. Tbey were told that in this msnner, former Boards had let contracts. They were surrounded by a class of men interested and in favor of building the oourt house—and in their honest, plodding wsy, unused to the tricks of dty people, took tbe voice of the man who paid only poll tax asof equal value to that ot tbe man who pays bis hundreds of dollars into the county treasury.

BRIDGET MULHOLLAXDwas acquitted of the chsrge.of larceny, in the Crim- I inal Court this morning. 1

AN APPEAL

from the Ladies Aid Society.

For the purpose of moro sysfematlcally and economically caring for tbeg worthy poor, sick and infirm old women who have just claims upon our society for aid, it has been doeraed ad- ?. visable to establish a "Home" for thet present winter at least, for this worthy class of our poor, and if after a trial it is tbonght advisable, make it per mainent. With this object the Ladies Aid Society has rented a house, employod a matron, and now appeals to

generous

public for assistance to furnish It. Any and everything pertaining to bouse keeping will bo acceptable, and if each ono will give some articles they can spare, tho aggregato will be quite a help. At present and heretofore the society have bad to pay tbe rent, furnlsb provisions and pay nurses for the class it is proposed to care for at the "Home." There aro now being cared' for by tbe society two homeless girls, hopelessly sick with the consumption,

number of helpless snd friendless old women, dependent upon the society for all the care they receive, and believing they can be more comfortably taken care of with a much less drain upon the society's means, It asks all to aid, by some kind of a donation, to fit np tho "Home" for Its Intended

and kitchen furniture, housekeeping utensils, cash, Ac., as they feel able and willing to give, and tbe society trusts the response to this appeal will enable it to inaugurate the "Home" by the first of tbe year.
