Dr. Jobn,the founder and former pub lisher of the Bloomsburg (Pa.)

There is plenty to do in this world for every pair of hands placed upon it, and we must so work that the world will be the richer because of our having lived in it.

BY IIEI.EN FORREST GRAVES. "She i a very pretty little girl," said Sir. Coit.Iandt. carelessly trilling with the ivory paper weight upon the table. "Do you think so?" said Mis Eu phrasia Dai ling, elevating her carefully penciled eye-brows. Miss Euphrasia was the verv personi fication nnd embodiment of a New York girl laced in excruciatingly at the waist, frizzed about the hair, and resplendent, with sparkling crosses, lockets, ear-drops and chains. Moreover she had a pho tograph album, played croquet, and "do ted" on the German. If you had asked her for a recipe for bread-pudding, or the best method of "doing up" toma toes, she would probabh have fainted away. And she prided herself on never having made a single garment of her wardrobe, and not knowing a darning needle from a knitting-sheath ! "Is she at home this morning ?" asked Mr. Cortlandt, after a moment's silence. "No," said Euphrasia,biting her lower lips, as if a little annoj'ed at Mr. Cordt landt's persistent interest in Silvia Wyn- 3'ard, her meek little orphan cousin. "Mamma fears she doesn t take enough exercise, and lias sent her out for a walk!" "And yesterday you told me, when I called, that she had gone to take a mu sic lesson !" " Y e s !" said Euphrasia. "Will you have the kindness to tell her that I inquired for her ?" he asked, rising. "Oh, certainly, certainly!" said Miss Darling. "But you are not going yet, Mr. Cortlandt? Mamma will be down stairs, directly, and we wanted to ask if you had any engagement to prevent your accompanying us to t.ie Private View of the Academy of Design on Wednesday evening ?" "I shall be most happy," said Mr. Cortlandt, politely. "Will your cousin go?" "Oh, no Silvia don't care for paint ings. At eiitlit o clock then. Mr. Cortlandt turned and took his leave, more disappointed than he would like to have conrcssed to uimself.that he had not seen Sylvia Wynyard. "bhc s such a little, artless rosebud of a cretture, compared with these shallow, stereotyped New York girls, who are turned 03' dozens out of the fashionable boarding schools, every season, he thought to himself. uAn orphan, too comparatively aloue in the world. It is very kind of the Darlings to extend so cordial a protection to her. Euphrasia has a kind heart after all." x Miss Darling would hardly have felt much complimented had she kaowtiwhat a mere passing reflection was given to herself as Mi. Cortlandt passed on, think ing of Silvia's fresh, rustic beaut3', with its ros3' tints of complexion, and golden lights of lustrous, superbty massed hair. "I believe it will end m my marrying her," said he, with half a sighaHd half a smile. "Yet I am nearby thirty, and she is but seventeen. Would it be an une qual match. I wonder?" He called the next afternoon at Mrs. Darling's pretty little house in Gralton Square. "I have tickets for the private opera to-night," he said. "Will you and Miss Wj'nyard go ? ' "We shall be very happy," . said fcu- phrasia, radiantly. But when Ins carriage drove up for them in the evening, Mrs Darling and her daughter sat alone in the draw ing- room,in all the splendor of opera cloaks, wreaths of French flowers and spangled fans ! "Where is Silvia?" he asked, with a disappointed look. "She didn t care to go, said Miss Eu phrasia, smelling of the tuberoses in her boquet Mr. Cortlandt said nothing more, but the pleasure of his evening was gone Why did Silvia so poin-cdly avoid him i Had he been so unfortunate as unwit tingly to offend her? or was it merely a fit of girlish caprice ? Yet he could hardly associate thia latter idea with one so pure and artless and unsophisticated as sweet little Silvia Wynyard. "I think Miss Wynyard must be rath er eccentric," he said as he sat between Mrs. Darling and her daughter, during a pause in the music. "Ah !" sighed Euphrasia, rolling up her eyes and shrugging her shoulders. "If yon knew half the trials that dear mamma has with her ! She will not walk nor ride with me ; she will not come into the drawing room to receive my compa ny, indeed, she sometimes quite breaks my heart with the cold rejection of the affection I fain would shower upon her." "I sbould hardly have thought that of her." , "Nor 1, neither; but we never know the truo nature of people until we are brought into close and immediate con tact with them," sighed Euphrasia.--"Mamma would cherish and love her so dearly would she but allow it. Mamma's heart is so full of clinging love and yearning tenderness." Mr. Cortlandt asked no more qucs tions. It was quite evident that Sylvia Wynyard was only a beau ti! til delusion, and perhaps it was well that he had learned her true disposition before she had stolen her way any farther into his heart of hearts. Yet, was not the mis chief done already ' The brisk drops of a vehement little April shower were pattering down on the Broadway pavements; the sky, but n few brief moments ago, 60 dazzlingly blue, was overcast with thick clouds,aud Mr. Cortlandt, who trusting implicitly in the deceptive brilliance of the spring Runshine, had ventured forth without the protecting shield of nn umbrella, found himself compelled to seek temporary shelter in one of the many fancy stores which extend along the great thorough fare of the Western metropolis. "I hope I am not in the way ?" he said courteously to the bowing little Jevr pro prietor of the shop, who came forward with a chair. "Not at all. sir not at all !" said the polite descendant of the tribes of Israel. "Praj' bo seated, sir the shower will soon be over " As Mr. Cortlandt sat down, close to the counter, he chanced to glance up, and there, busily engaged in trimming a little hat from a box of artificial moss roscrbuds, sat Silvia Wynyard. She colored scarlet as iie met her eye ; he, too, was embarrassed and confused. "Miss Wynyard!" "I work here everyday," she sal,qtri etly. "My cousin Euphrasia said you did not care any more for my acquaint ance, now that I was a shop girl ; and that that was the reason you never in quiicd after me, when you called in the evenings. You need not rocognizc me now, unless you please. I should not have spoken first!" "Silvia," he exclaimed, "this is all an incomprehensible riddle to me. I sol emnly declare to you that this is the first I knew of your being in a store--nor, had I known it, wfJuld it have derogated you in the slighest degree in my opin ion." "Then Euphrasia must have told me falsely !'' said Silvia with a thrill and quiver in her voice. ''She must have told vou falsely in deed nor are you the only person that has been deceived by her double-deal ing," he added, with a sudden, indig nant flash or memory. "I have inquired for 3ou, and left messages again and again, in Euphrasia Darling's care !" "They were never delivered to me !" "But I don't fully understand !" went on Mr. Cortlandt, eagerly .leaning on the counter, behind which Silvia sat, pale and quiet. "I supposed that 3'otir aunt provided you with a home aud sub stance." "She told me last month that her ex penses were very great, and that she could no longer keep roe in idleness. She herself got me this situation in a store at four dollars a week. I come at seven in the morning, and go away ot seven o clock at night. It is hard, close work' poor Silvia added with a little sigh ; but it is better than to feel one's self dependent upon the cold charity of grudging relations. And her soft blue eyes brimmed over with tears. "Silvia," said Mr. Cortlandt, with a throbbing at his heart that was half in dignant, half triumphant, "we have been basely deceived but you trust me now f "Yes," she answered, her limpid eyes meeting his with an innocent, confiding light in their azure depths , "I do trust you. But oh, I was so miserable, when I fancied that you despised and scorned me ! How could Euphrasia be so treach erous and base what reason could she possibly have had ?" Mr. Cortlandt thought he could com prehend the reason, in some degree, but he kept his own counsel he could not bear to reveal to one woman, the depth of another's baseness. "But, Silvia," he said, lowering his voice, although he had spoken in sub dued accents all along, and nobody was near enough to hear the subject matter of their conversation; "3'ou must at once break tfio bondage that encircles 3-ou here. My jewel must shine only for my self. You knew that I loved you, Sil- a?" "I fancied it once," she faltered, in scarcely audible accents. "It was no fancy, dearest Can you love me, well enough to be my wife." Her tender, uplifted eyes auswered him Miss Euphrasia Darliug was complete ly astounded to see Sylvia Wynyard en ter the drawing-room leaning on Mr. Cortland's arm." "She is my wife,7 was all the explana tion he deigned to make. "Let her things be put together as quickly as possible with my consent she shall not pass an other night beneath this inhospitable roof!" Euphrasia grew pale under the stern light of his e)'es she knew that her plots were discovered, and when she re covered from her hysterics, Sylvia Cort landt and her husband were gone. She never saw them again. School Houses. It is a disgrace to our common sense in thi3 year of our Lord, 1871, that Gail Hamilton can say with so much truth : "There is probably not a wcll-veutila-ted school-house in the country. I have been in a great many, and 1 do not re collect one that was not nasty with foul air. Enter the main hall during the morning exercises, and you ma3' be suf ficiently comfortable; but go into a rcoi tation room during the latter half of the recitation hours and 3011 ate actually smitten b3' the noisome atmosphere. It is not exactly - potato-rot, but it makes you think of potato rt. It does not knock you down, but it gives you the sensatiou of being knocked down, and it makes you long to knock somebody down. In this iilthy bath the delicate lungs of delicate children are immersed and soaked and steeped, hour after hour, for days and months and 3ear9, till the nastincss is well incorporated into blood aud brain and heart. Conundrums, When is a concert singer silent? When he holds his piece. Why is the fashionable lad3' a prudent one? Because 6he tries to make her waist as small as possible. When is a ship like a scarf-pin ? When it's on the bosom of a heavy swell. When is an ox not an ox ? , When it is turned into a meadow. . Why is a swallow like a chimney? Because both have a crooked flue. Why is a doctor better taken care of than his patients? Because when lie goes to bed he is 6tire to have somebody to wrap him up. Why was Eve, Low-Church before the fall, and High-Church after? Before, she was Eve angelical, and after she took to vestments. What was the first iustance on record of trust? The mown, she shines with borrowed light. "Don't Know Anybody." A man "down East" was living with his second wife One day she asked him where he wished to be buried when he died. He replied : ' .jn jj , where my wife was bu ried.'" "And where would yon bury me if I should die?" said wife No. 2.' ' In L- , of course," said the hus band. "I wou't go a step," was the reply. "I don't know a soul up there, and I know lots in th graveyard." From the Washington Patriot The Democratic Address. We have the satisfaction of laying be fore our readers an address to the peo ple of the United States, signed by ev ery Democratic and Conservative mem ber of the Senate and House of Repre sentatives who was present in Washing ton when it was prepared. This impor tmt paper is intended to expose the ac tual situation of affairs here, and to pre sent to the country a frank statement of the course of the Radical party in its usurpations of the power and its crim inal neglect of the public interests. In discharging this duty our friends have acted wisely, not only in holding tip to censure the excesses and shortcomings of their adversaries, but in defining with manU' distinctness their own views of policy. They have not assumed in any sense to build a political platform, for that responsibility belongs to a National Convention, bnt they did not feel at lib ert)' to disregard living facts,or to evade them b3' anj' doubtful expedients. The misrepresentations of unscrupu lous adversaries are now met and silc-n-eed by an antheritivc expression of Democratic representatives from every part of the Union. No such utterance has been made from Congress for long and weary years. The North aud the South, the East and the West, are ouee more uuitcd and speak in the same pat riotic language, turning aside from the dead past, and looking with hopeful promise to a brighter future. It is the voice of a reconciled people, proclaim ing peace and good will among men We commend the address to the candid judgment of the country, with the full est confidence that it will receive every where a generous greeting and cordial approbation. To the People of the United S'ates: Our presence and official duties at Washington have enabled us to become fully acquainted with the actions and de signs of those who control the Radical party, and we feel called upon to utter a few words of warnings agaiust the alar ming strides they have made towards centralization of power in the hands of Congress and the Executive. Tho time and attention of the Radi cal leaders have been almost wholly di rected to devising such legislation as will, in their view, best preserve their ascendency, and no regard for the wise restraints imposed by the Constitution has checked their reckless and desperate career. The President of the United States has been formally announced as a can didate for re-election. The declaration of his selfish supporters have been ech oed by a subsidized press, aud the dis cipline of party has already made adhe sion to his personal fortunes the su preme test of political fealty." The partisan legislation to which we refer was decreed and shaped in secret caucus, where the extremest counsels al ways dominated, and was adopted by a subservient majority, if not with the in tent, certain'' with the effect, to place in the hands of the President power to command his own rcnomination, and to empl03' the arm3T, nay, acd Militia at his sole discretion, as a means of sub sen ing his personal ambition. When the sad experience of the last two years so disappointing to the hopes and gen erous confidence of thecountrj- is con sidered, in connection with the violent utterances and rash purposes of those who control the President's policy, it is not surprising that the gravest appre hensions for the future peace of the ca tion should be entertained. At a time when labor is depressed, and every material interest is palsied b3T oppressive taxation, the public offices have been multiplied be3ond all prece dent, to serve as instruments in the per petuation of power. Partisanship is the onl3 test applied to the distribution of this vast patronage. Hone6t3, fitness, and moral worth are openly discarded in favor of truckling submission and dishonorable compliance. Hence, enor mous defalcations and .widespread ccr ruption have followed as the natural con sequences of this pernicious system. By the official report of the Secretary of the Treasury, it. appears that after deduction of all proper credits, mari3' millions of dollars remain due from ex collectors of the internal revenue, and that lio proper diligence has ever been used to collect them. Reforms in the revenue and fi?cal sys tems, which all experience demonstra tes to be necessary to a frugal adminis tration ol the Government, as well as a measure 01 rtlier to au overburdened people, have been persistentby postpon ed or wilfully neglected. Congress now adjourns without having even attempted to reduce taxation, or to repeal the glar ing impositions by which industry is crushed and impoverished. The Treas ur3f is overflowing, and an excess of eighty millions of revenue is admitted; and yet, instead of some measure of present relief, a barren and delusive rcs oluiiou !.8 passed by the Senate to con sidcr the tariff and excise systems here after,as if the history of broken pledges and pretended remedies furnished any better assurance for future legislation than experience has done iu the past. Ship-building and the carrying trade, once sources of national pride aud pros perity, now languish ' under a crushing load "of taxation, and nearly every other business interest is struggling without profit to maintain itself. Our agriculturists,' while paying heavy j taxes on all they consume, either .to the Government or to monopolists, find the prices for their own products so reduced that honest labor is denied its just re ward, and industry is prostrated by in vidious discrimination. Nearly 200,000,000 acres of public lands, which should have been reserved for the benefit of the people, have been voted away to giant corporations, neg lecting our soldiers and enriching a handful of greedy speculators and lob byists, who arc thereby enabled to ex ercise a most dangerous and corrupting iullucnce over State and Federal legis lation. If the career of these conspirator? be not checked, the downfall of free gov ernment is inevitable, and with it the c'evition of a military Dictator on the r tins of the Republic '. Under pretence of passing laws to "enforce the fourteenth amendment, aud for other purposes,' Congress has con- Cured lh most deepotic power upou lb.6 Executive, and provided an official ma chinery by which' the liberties of the people are menaced.and the sncrcd right of local self-government in the Slates is ignored, if not tyrannically overthrown Modelled after the sedition laws, so odi ous in history, they are at variance with all the nanctifled theories of our insti tutions, and the construction given by these Radical interpreters to the four teenth amendment is, to use the lan eiiac of an eminent Senator, (Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois,) an "annihilation of the States." Under the last enforcement bill, "the Executive may, in his discretion, thrust aside the government of any State, sus pend the writ of habeas corpus" arrest its Governor, imprison or disperse the Legislaturesilence its judges, and tram ple dewn its people under the armed heel of li'i3 troops. Nothing 13 left to the citizen or the State which can any longer be called a right ; all is changed into mere sufferance. Our hopes for redress ore in the calm good sense, the "sober second thou lit" of the American people. We call upon them to be true to themselves and to their posterity, and disregarding party names and minor differences, to insist upon a decentralization of power, the restriction of Federal authority within its just and proper limits, leaving to the States that control over domestic atlsiirs which is essential to their happiness ant! tranquillity and good government. Everything that malicious ingenuity could suggest has leen donp to irritate the people of the Middle and Southern States. Gross and exaggerated charges of disorder and violence owe their ori gin to the mischievous minds of poten tial managers in the Senate and House of Representatives, to which the Exec utive has, we regret to say, lent his aid. and thus helped to inflame the popnTar feeling. Ja all this course of hostile legislation nnd harsh resentment, no word of conciliation, of kind encour agement, or fraternal fellowship hss ev ei been spoken by the President, or l3" Congress, to the people of the South ern States They have been addressed only in the language of proscription. We earnestly entreat our fellow citi zens in all parts of the Union to spare no enort to maintain peace and order; to carefully protect the rights of everj citizen; to preserve kindly relations among all men, and 0 discountenance and discourage any violations of the rights of any portion of the people se cured nnder the Constitution or any of its amendments. Let ns, in conclusion, earnestly Leg of you not to aid the present attempts 01 Kadical partisans to stir tip 6tnfe in the land ; to renew the issues of the war ; or to obstruct the return of peace and prosperity to the Southern States ; be cause it is thus that they ecek to divert the attention of the country from the corruption and extravagance in their ad ministration of public affairs, ond the dangerous and profligate attempts they are making towards the creation of cen tralized military government. In the five years of peace, following the war, the Radical Administrations have expended 81,200,000 for ordinary purposes alone, being within $200,000, 000 of the aggregate amount spent for the same purposes in war and in peace during the seventy one years preceding June 30, 1S61, not including in either case the sum paid upon principal or in terest of the public debt It is trifling with the intelligence of the people for the Radical leaders to pretend that this vnst sum has been honestly expended. Hundreds of millions of it have been wnntonty squandered. The expenditures of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1861, were only $(52,000,000, while for precise ly the same purposes civil list, army, navy, pensions, and Indians $164,000, 000 were expended during the fiscal 3-car ending June 30, 1S70. No indignation can be too stern, and no scorn too severe, for the assertions, 13' unscrupulous Radical leaders, that the great Democratic and Conservative part3' of the Union has or can have S3 mpathy with disorders or violence in any part of the country, or it? t'ie depri vation of any man of bis rights under the Constitution. It is to protect and perpetuate the rights which every freeman cherishes ; to revive in all hearts the feelings of friendship, affection, and hairaonj',wl:ieh are the best guarantees of law and order, and to throw around the humblest citi zen, wherever he may be, the protecting a?gis of those safeguards of personal liberty which the funoamental laws of the land assure, that we invoke the aid of all good men in the work of peace and reconciliation. ' We invite their gen erous cooperation, irrespective of all former differences of opinion, so that the lintsh voice of discord may . be si lenced ; that a new and dangerous sec tional agitation may be checked ; that the burdens of taxation, direct or indi rect, may be reduced to the lowest point consistent with good faith to every just national obligation, and with a strictly economical administration of the Gov ernment, and that the State may be re stored in their integrity and true rela tions to our Federal Union.

A pair of corsets saved a woman's life last evening. The ladv's name is Ellen Gilchrist, and she resides at No. 98 East Washington street Her assail aut was her husband. Mrs. Gilchrist has a sister who lives in the house of prostitution No. 181 Fourth avenue.. Last evening she started out with the in tention of going there to pay a visit Her husbaud followed, and when the corner of Polk street and Fourth ave uue was reached he told that she must not go any further ; that ho would not permit her to call at a house of ill-fame. She persisted m going, and he seized her. A struggle followed, during which he made an effort to stab her. The knife cut her clothing, and, but for her corsets, would have penetrated her heart. A crowd collected, and the attention of Sergeant Buckley and Police maiiBnwn was atuacted. The .'for mer ordered boili to be arrested, and tiiey were taken to t'ie Armory. Thiv will have a bearing at the folic Ctiu t this mornrog. ' VER7 C O O 3L A mountain trail a narrow, tortrtrjfjg, difficult path.
