BIRTHDAY.
This morning a maiden, this evening a wife,
Changing completely your whole course of
life ; .
A promise is given, a few words are said——
And then you must follow where ’crc you are
led.
Him, you have promised to love and obey,
Living together till both have turned gray;
Living and loving, two lives changed to one,
Two minds in one channel forever to run.
Changed from a girl to a woman so soon,
I hope your whole life may be one honey-
moon.
May you never know trouble, or sorrow or
care, .
Is the most earnest wish of your friend

The cigar makers hitvu ~mvwn‘ulmv—‘mwl- -
ness capacity than is common among laboring
people who strike for what they consider
their rights. They have completed their or-
ganization, have raised a very large fund,aud
have organized a “provision kitchen,” from
which the needy strikers will be fed. The
provisions are bought at the lowest wholesale
prices, and are distributed in such quantities
as will keep the strikers in good condition.
They have also secured the services of physi-
cians to attend the members of the strikers’
families, and, in short have gone into the
business in a thoroughly systematic way.
AN OLD sWINDLE nsvwnn.
A sharper under the name of Evans is
flooding the country with this letter :—
NEw Your: Crrr.
G. W. GREEN, Esq:
Your ticket, 9,450, has drawn a house
and lot in Jamaica, Queens County, N. Y.,
valued by the commissroner of taxes at $2,-
500. ‘Mr. Taylor, who had charge of the
matter, died at Savannah With yellow fever.
I will upon the receipt of $10 additional have
the property conveyed to you by the county
clerk. The amount is to pay the clerk for
his services. . C. L. EVANs.
A great many smart greenies, who know
they have no right to the property mention
ed, but who are willing to take advantage of
what they consider the mistake of the care-
less Mr. Evans, send $10, which is the last
of it. It is curious that people will allow
themselves to be taken in byldevices so trans-
parent. - _
THE TEMPEBANCB MOVEMENT
is still progressing, though it has not made
the headway ‘liat its projectors hoped. It is
very hard to keep the attention of New
Yorkers to t“ 3thing but their business for
any length of lime, and then think what an
enormous thing the rum interest is to fight.
Yet the league are working awayas earnestly
as though they were in possession of the
enemy’s outworks. They have collected
some interesting figures to show what tip-
pling‘ houses cost the city. They charge
founfifths of the expenses for police, chari-
ties for criminals, paupers, or $4,000,000, to
them; to this must be added $1,000.000 for
salaries to extra employees in judicial and
other departments; donations to charitable
institutions,$300,000,or a total of $5,300,000.
To offset this there is $300,000collected from
license fees. These figures are significant.
.Mu.-1.;niADevereaux. Blake made a temper-
ance speech, in the course oi which Elie not
that between 1870 and 1875 forty-two women
were killed in this city by drunken men—
most of them kicked to death.
POLITICAL.
The contest, this fall, in the city, will be
between Tammany on the one hand, and the
combined Republicans and Anti-Tammany
democrats on the other. Contrary to the
usual practice,'the democratic business men
have taken hold of the matter, and if they
make a fight in dead earnest, they may ac-
complish something. The respectable ele-
ment of the American democracy, aided by
the German vote, which is always uncom-
fortable in any organization which includes
the Irish, and the entire Republican party
ought to carry the city, and relieve it from
the dead weight of John Kelly Tammany-
ism. But I am not very sanguine. The
leaders of Tammany know their power.
They have the revenues of a vast city at
their control, and they know that a great
many men have their price. When the forces
are all ready for action, and it is known who
the workers are. Kelly will swoop down with
his money and his places, and then ' whether
it is a success or not, will depend entirely on'
how many of them he can buy. To succeed,
the respectable democrats, and the independ-
ent Germans must draw out of the democrat-
ic ranks quite thirty thousand votes, and
with Tammany charging through their lines,
it is very doubtful. And then‘the Rochester
convention so divided the Republican party
that it is doubtful if action can be taken
which will insure a full Republican vote. I
have no faith whatever in the movement,
but I do most ardeutly hope I may be disap-
pointed.
THE COST or STRIKES.
The cost of the service of the State mili-
tia during the strikes of last summer—time,
say one week—foot up nearly $275,000. It
is ratheran expensive way of obtaining an
increase of pay. Probably the cost of the
- strikes in the State, counting destruction and
detention, loss of time and everything else,
will foot up $500,000,000. And it all amount-
ed to nothing except to give a lot of dema-
gogues like Schwab and Swiuton notoriety.
They are trying the same thing over again
and may possibly succeed.
run GRAIN TRADE.
The papers are exercised over the fact that
New York has not had a very large increase
of receipts of grain, while Philadelphia, Bos-
ton aud Baltimore have. It is easy to under-
stand why this is so. New York has lain
down upon her “natural advantages,” and
has failed to conciliate the outside world.
The railroads running into New York are
managed in the interest of one family—those
running into the other cities are managed in
the interest of the cities. The point of the
New Ydrk magnate is to see how much he
can skin out of a bushel of grain—the other
cities strive to see at how little they can-do
the business and live.
facilities here, while Baltimore and Philadel-
phia have. The trade will keep going till
this is altered. The West can send to other
Atlantic cities, or what is better for them,
they can ship down the St Lawrence to Mon-
treal, and avoid all the cxtortions that have
been put upon them. What New York has
got to do to hold her trade is to make the
Erie canal free, and to have facilities for do-
ing business cheaply by rail, when the canal
is closed. Then the old time prosperity will
come again.
THE MEAT TRADE wrrn nonorn
has not been altogether a success, though it
is still carried on to some extent. The ves-
sels fitted for this trade are, however, doing
just as well in butter and cheese. The
Americans are now furnishing England with
alargc per cent. of these. articles that she
uses, and the trade is growrng rapidly. One
of' the last steamers took out a thousand
boxes of Catawba grapes, and what was still
queerer, some hundreds of barrels _of western
lager beer, for Germany. This is sending
coals to Newcastle with a vengeance.

was issued this afternoon:
By the President of the United States of
America.
A PROOLAMATION.
The completed cycle of summer and win:
'.er, seed time and harvest, has brought-us to
people celebrate with prayer and thanksgiv-
ing the enduring mercy of Almighty ‘God.
This devout and public confession of thereon-
stant dependence of man upon the Divine
Father for all the good gifts of life and health
and peace and happiness, so early in our‘his-
tory made the habit of our people, finds iiu
the survey of the past year new ouuds for
its joyful and grateful manifestation. . In all
the blessings which depend upon benignant
seasons, this has indeed been a memorable
year. Over the wide territory of our coun-
try, with all its diversity of soil and climate
and products, the earth has yielded a bounti-
ful return to the labor of the husban'dmau.
The health of the people has been blighted
by no pestilence nor no wide spread disease.
No great disasters of shipwreck upon. our
coasts or to our commerce on the seas, have
brought loss and hardship to merchants .or
mariners, or clouded the happiness .of the
community with sympathetic sorrow. In all
that concerns our strength and peace. and
greatness as a nation, in all that touches the
permanence and security of our government
.nna n... tumult-an: institutions on which it
rests, in all that effects the character and dis-
position of our people and tests our ca acit
to enjoy and uphold thefr'eé'a‘nd equai)‘ co -
dition of society so permanent and universal
throughout the land, the experience of the
last year is conspicuously marked by the pro-
tecting providence of God, and is full of
promise and hope for the coming generation.
Under a sense of these infinite obligations
to the Great Ruler of times and seasousand
events, let us humbly ascribe it to our faults
and frailties if in any degree that - perfect
concord, happiness, peace and justice which
such great mercies should" diffuse through
the hearts and lives of our people not:alto«
gather and always and everywhere, prevail.
Let us with one spirit and with one voice lift
up praise and thanksgiving to God for His
manifold goodness to our land and Hisniani-
fest care fer our nation. 2. . . "
Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B.-H.ay‘es,
President .of the‘ United States, do appoint
Thursday, the 29th day of November next,
and I earnestly recommend that, withdraw-
ing themselves from secular cares andlabors,
the people of the United States do meet to-
gether on that day in their respective places
of worship, there to give thanks and praise
to Almighty God for His mercies and to dc-'
voutly beseech their continuance. ~
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be afilxed. . '
Done in the city of Washington, the 29th

' SENATOR-MORTON.
The death of Senator Morton will not be
the less regrettcdthat it wasexpected. Ever
since he was stricken down his family and
immediate friends have hoped against hope,
and at times it almost seemed as if the uncon-
querable will that never quailed w0uld .en-
able him to triumph as so often before over
the weakbody. It .was not to he, and Thurs-
day the great Senator passed peacefully away.z
So full of mental energy ‘and vigor was he
that his death seems untimely, and we are
apt to forget that for years his life had been
a struggle a fatal disease. The loss to the
country is incalculable. No man ever served
the Republic with more unflinching fidelity,
or truer or purer devotion. He was ambi-
tions, but never sordid. and, not even partism
hate ventured to question his rigid integrity.
Oliver P. Morton was born in Indiana
August 4, 1823. As a boy he had scant oppor-
tunity to inquire an education, but such as
was offered to him be improved. At the age
fifteen he was apprenticed to a hatter, and
continued in his service four years, spending
his leisure in obtaining information frombooks
At the age of nineteen he entered Miami-
University, in 1843, and remained there until
he was twenty-two, when he left college and
began the study of law with John S; Newan
of Centreville. He was admitted to the bar
in 1847, and quickly distinguished hiniself as
a powerful advocate and shrewd, counselor.
In 1852, when he was twenty-nine years old,
he was elected circuit judge by the legisla-'
turc; but he held the office only a year, pre-
ferring the strife of the bar to the easy dig-
nity of the bench, and he continued in the'
practice of his profession until 1860, but
always taking an active part in political
campaigns, and he won reputation as a strong
and influential speaker. A democrat up to
1854, in that year he joined the republican
party and was a delegate to the first national
republican convention in 1856, when his
ability won recognition and many friends.
.Returning home, he was nominated the re-
publican candidate for Governor by acclamao
tion, and stumped the State, largely reduc-
ing the previous democratic victory, though
not enough to secure his election.
he was nominated for Lieutenant Governor
on the ticket with Henry S. Lane, and the
ticket was elected by 10,000 majority. Since
then he has been in public life. In 1861a
Governor Lane was elected to the Senate and
His opportunity had found him. In that
position he displayed executive ability of the
highest order. Ata mass meeting in India-
napolis in November, 1869, he denounced the
doctrine of peaceablc secession as wicked,
and demanded the enforcement of the con; .
stitution and the laws in all the States at all
hazards.
When Fort Sumter was bombarded, and
before the President’s call for troops, Gover
nor Morton telegraphed to Washington a
tender of 10,000 men to defend the Union.
He was the first Governor to proffer troops.
Indiana’s quota under the call was six regi-
ments, which were promptly raised, and the
Governor offered six additional regiments, to
be ready in six days if accepted. At heme
he had to fight treason, and he did it with all
the energy of an heroic nature. In 1862 the
democrats elected a majority of the Indiana
legislature. They refused to receive the
Governor’s message, passed resolutions dc-
nouncing the war for the Union, and adjourn-
ed without making a single appropriation for
carrying on the State government. It was a
critical moment in the life of the Nation, and
it was nobly met. Gov. Morton at once
assumed the responsibility. He raised
money and for two years carried on the State
government and raised and equipped the
State troops. His heroic and unceasing
efferts during these two years laid the foun-
dation of the disease from which he ever
afterward suffered. In 1864 he was again
elected. His health having given way under
the excessive strain of his labors, he spent
several months in the year 1865 in Europe.
In January, 1867, he was elected to the
United States Senate, and re elected in 1873.
His present term would have ended in 1879.
In 1870 hedeclined the mission to England.
Senator Morton leaves to_ his family a
noble memory, which the country he so ably
and faithfully served will ever cherish.

Resolved, That we the Republicans dele-
gates to the County Convention, in such

faith in the principles of . the Republican
party, which have, as a party, so often led
us to victory in the past, and deprecate any
steps which may be taken to render those
principles subordinate to questions of policy.
, .Reaolced, That we. point with. pride to
the great reforms accomplished in the civil
service of the country under Republican“
administration, the result of continuous
effort upon the phrt of the party ever since
it ’came into power, and favor any wise
measures to make that reform permanent.
Resolved, That We earnestly commend to
the voters of the Republican party in Fair-
field county our candidate for Sheriff, Chas.
H. Crosby, as a man in every way worthy of
their confidence and votes, and whom we
know to be capable of filling the ofiice for
which he is nominated to the full satisfaction
of the people; and believe his election will
be another step in the civil service reform of
the country.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
n. 1).,
L. ‘L. D.
At the General Convention of the P. E.
Church. for 1877, the Committee on Canons
of the House ofDeputies presented the fol-
lowing Report, which was unanimously
adopted :-- '
‘_‘The Committee on Canons respectfully
report that they assembled for organization
on the second day of the session, and ap.
pointed the Rev. Alfred A. Watson, D. D,
as chairman, and the Rev. Francis Harrison, .
S, T._ 1)., asSecretary. -
It is very forcibly impressed 0n the com-
mittee upon their assembling, that for the
first time in very many sessions of the con-
—veutlon, the Rev. William Cooper Mead, ‘D.
D., is absent from'its' meeting, and from his
place on this cummittee." It may not be out
of placeforus to- recall in our preliminary
report, the outline of Dr. Mead's long
and valuable services to this body. In the
Convention of 1832, forty-five years ago, he
tookhis seat as a deputy from Pennsylvania;
and, having been continuously re-elected
from that diocese and from Connecticut, he
hasbeeu an active. member of fifteen con-'
ventions. He was'secretary of the Houéc‘ in'
1841 and 1844; in 1847 he became a mem-
ber of the Committee on Canons, and in
1853 its chairman; so that he has presided
over its grave, and at times delicate and
critical, deliberation during eight sessions.
We rejoice to know that, though the in-
firmities inseparable from his venerable age
detain .our late chairman from attendance
here, his days of active usefulness and min-
»:istry,vand his interest in all that concerns
the welfare of the Church, are by no means-
euded. : ‘ ~ g
"Abstaiuing from the language of eulogy,
and from any further attempt to enumerate
the services which Dr. Mead has rendered
to the convention, we recommend the adop-
tion of the following resolution :—
Resoleed That an engrossed copy of this
report, attested by the president and secre-
tary of the House of De uties, be sent to the
Rev. William Cooper cad, D. D. L. L. D.
as an expression of the feeling and afiection
of this House.” .

presiding. In the forcnoon the ‘ lacuna] re-
ports were submitted. , In 'his , report the
grand worthy patriarch gives a rccord'of the
work he has done in the past year. No new
division was instituted, although there was
hope of establishing one in Orange. In con-
clusion he says: “The year has net been lost
to us. In many of the towns there has been
good work done in the temperance cause.
In Merideu we have a large number of re-
formed men, many of them brought in under
the labors of Frost and McKelvey. Some
forty drunken men signed the pledge, and
then Rev. Mr. Pogson, the great temperance
orator, lectured here several times, and his
labors were crowned with. success, and now
there are two reform clubs, with over 100 rec
formed men in the work. Also in Berlin.
New Britain, Southingtou, Seymour, and
many other places clubs are formed, and these
open'societies have not been? of much helpto'
us as a division, but rather draws from us
into what is called open society. Neverthe-
less, the cause of temperance has greatly ad-
vanced and the enemy been greatly weakened.
Our work is‘that of moral suasion, and by,-
»ims‘work men are Wr-WVV have‘ulw
learned that signing the pledge is good, but
in my opinion there isone retep further.

may be forever saved, and to this end let us

The State Election.
The election of Tuesday is the first simply
State election which occursunder our amend-
ed constitution, and but little interest appear.~
to have been yet taken in it. It has no im-
portant connection with national politics, bu.
in its relation to the general management of
our State afiairs and policy, it is important
that a full vote should be polled and a repuhr
licau legislature elected. For the three years
succediug the panic of 1873, the democrats
had full control of the legislature, and during
that time they made no reduction in the cur,
rent expenses of the State; salaries were in
creased rather than diminished ,— large appro-
priations were made for the State capitol,
and though the direct tax was reduced one-
half, no abatement was made in the bug
State debt. So, while they reduced the in-
come of the 'State on the one hand, they
stopped the reduction of the debt and did not
reduce the aggregate - expenses of the State.‘
There was no economy in such management, .
audits only result was to leave the _ State
treasury substantially bankrupt at the elem
of last year. ~ ~ -
. The last republican legislature, however,
so improved the financial condition of the
State that provisions were made for reducing '
the State debt about $400,000,aud the annuai‘
current expenses of the State have been re-
duced over $100,000. Unnecessary fees were‘
abolished, the judicial expenses of the State.
were largely cut down, and" all the salaries
and fees paid to public servants were reduced
ten per cent. A commission was appointed
to report further plans for economy, with
Judge Foster at its head, and it is now at
work upon a report which will recommend
reductions in the expenses of all departments
of the State government. As the democrats
in the last legislature generally opposed all
bills favoring economy, and as three demo-
cratic legilatures sitting through the hard
times of 1874—76 failed to initiate or carry
out any plan of reform, it is safe to infer that
the burdened tax payers can more surely
expect a continuance of retrenchment,
and the adoption of the plans of Judge Fos'
ter's commission, if a republican rather than
democratic legislature is elected Tuesday.
The last legislature passed a carefully drawn
registry law, which is liberal enough for all
honest voter's, but by'cutting off the fraudu
lent system of certificate voting and guard
other particulars, it .will give- us more honest
elections in the future. The continuance of
an election, law which will prevent the frauds
upon Which too many dem0cratic leaders rely
for success requires the election of a republi-
can legislature. . ‘
There are important insurance interests to
be bdth investigated and protected by wise
legislation next winter; for this purpose
competent men should be sent to the House.
The election does not‘ turn upon national
issues, Next year we .can discuss them:auo
vote upon. them as we think best. Nowwe
areito do what ‘ is’best for the State and its
local interests: . The last-legislature passed
'many meritorious laws and two constitution-
a1 amendments in the interest of economy
. and the honest administration of the public
affairs in town,”

Liniments.
—+___
They relieve pain.
They subdue swellings.
They cure burns, without a scar.
The White Centaur Linimentis now the stand-
ard remedy for Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica.
Lumbago, Frost Bites, Caked Breasts, Itch, Cuta-
neous eruptions, etc. These Liniments have
stood the test of timé. They have performed
more wonderful cures of‘ obstinate bed-ridden
cripples, and have alleviated more pains in a
shorter space of time, than have all other Liui'
meuts, Embrocations, Extracts, Ointments, and
Salves in existence. Their sale is increasing rap-
idly and regularly. Their best endorscrs are phy-
sicians, surgeons and veternaries. There is liter-
ally no case of flesh, bone, or muscle ailment upzn
man or beast which the Centaur Liuiments will
not alleviate and generally cure. But it must be
understood that there are two kinds of Liniment;
the White is for family use and the Yellow for
horses and animals. For horses and mules liable
to Spavin, Ring-bone, Sweeney, Gulls, Strains.
String-halt, etc.,the Yellow Centaur Lini-
mens is worth its weight in gold. We have
thousands of certificates relating how valuable
horses have been speedily restored by a dollar
bottle of this wonderful all-healing remedy. The
same is constantly told of the effects upon the
human frame. Persons hobbling upon crutches
for years from Stiff Joints, Tumors and Old Sores,
have, by the use of a. few bottles of the White
Centaur Llnlment, been restorcd'to the use
of all their limbs. The efi'ects are next to mar—
vels. We will gtvethc Liniments to any person
who ever heard of a failure.

now sold throughout the habitable globe.

Before the Leaves Fall.
BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER.
I wonder if oak and maple,
Willow and elm and all.
Are stirred at heart by the coming
Of the day their leaves must fall.
Do they think of the yellow whirlwind,
Or know of the crimson spray,
That shall be when chill November
Bears all their leaves away.
Perhaps—beside the water
The willow bends, serene
As when her young leaves glistcncd
In the mist of golden green.
But the brave old oak is flushing
To a wine-red dark and deep,
And maple and elm are blushing
The blush of a child asleep.
“If die we must,” the leaflets
Seem one by one to say,
“We will wear the color of gladness
Until we pass away.
No eyes shall see us falter;
And before we lay it down,
We’ll wear, in the sight of all the earth,
The year’s most kingly crown.”
So, trees of the stately forest,
And trees by the troddcn way,
You are kindled into glory
This soft autumnal day.
And we who gaze remember
That more than all they lost,
To hearts and trees together,
May come through the ripening frost.
IN THE OLD SOUTH CHURCH.
Bosrox, 1677.
She came and stood in the Old South Church,
A wonder and a sign,
With the look the old—time sibyis wore,
Half crazed and half divine.
Save the mournful sackcloth about her wourd
Unclothed as the primal mother,
With limbs that trembled eyes that burned,
With a fire shcidarcd not smother.
1
Loose on her shoulders fell her hair
With sprinkled ashes gray ;
She stood in the broad aislestrangi- and wierd
AS a soul at the judgment tiny I
And the minister paused in his SL I'll on’s midst ,
And the people held their breath :
For these were the words the m‘tiiii" sputu-
Through lips as pale;as death :
“Repent, repent! ere the Lord shall spe;.'~..
In thunder and breaking seals!
Let all men worship Himin the way
That His light within reveals.
“Thus saith the Lord i, With equal feet
. All men my courts shall tread :
And priest and ruler no more shall eat
My people up like bread 1”
She shook the dust from her naked feet,
And her sackcloth closer drew;
And into the porch of the awe-hushed church
See passed like a ghost from view.
They whipped her away at the tail 0’ the cart,
(Small blame to the angry town 1)
But the words she uttered that day, nor fire
Could burn nor water drown.
To-day the aisles of the ancient church
By equal feet are trod;
And the bell that swings in its belfry rings
Freedom to worship God.
And now, whenever a wrong is done,
It thrills the conscious walls;
The stone from the basement cries aloud,
And the beam from the timber calls.
There are steeple-houses on every hand,
And pulpits that bless and ban; .
And the Lord will not grudge the single church
That is set apart for man. '
For in two commandments are all the law
And the prophets under the sun,
And the first is last, and the last is first,
And the twain are verily one.
So, long as Boston shall Boston be,
And her bay tides rise and fall,
Shall Freedom stand in the Old South Church
And plead for the rights of all!
—John Gremleaf Whittier in Atlantic for
November.
Autumnal Tints.-
. It is very curious to observe the regularity
with which we are told in the autumn that
“the first frost will change *color of the
leaves,” whereas the frost has nothing to do
with the change. It has, indeed, sometimes
happened in New England that the foliage
has changed,ss if by magic, in a single night.
so that, upon looking out of the window in
the morning, the eye was surprised with the
spectacle of the world well—nigh on fire; and
since this transformation took place in con-
nection with the mercury at a low point, the
whole afifair is referred to the agency of Jack
Frost. But why not refer to this» prestidigi-
tator the glowing tints of the apple, the rich
crimson of the velvet peach, and the purple
of the plum ? Many years ago this error was
pointed out by an eminent botanist, who
showed that the gorgeous color of the autumn
leaf came in the regular process of ripening;
and, though botany is generally studied in
schools, the old notion comes back' with the
beavers every year, showing that error, in
common with truth, especially when support-
cd by con: populi, will “rise again,” however
deservedly crushed to earth.
Leaves find their parallel in a man, as al-
ready observed, and, like the human species,
they may ripen suddenly. If, however, any
. one chooses to make a mystery of the inten-
sity of the autumnal colors, there should be
no great difficulty in explaining the earz'cty.
Indeed, the apparent superiority over the
strength of color in the foliage on the Conti-
nent of Europe may be attributed chiefly to
this variety. In Great Britain the climate is
evidently unfavorable to the production of
bright forest-tones, but in parts of Germany
the brilliancy of certain kinds of leaves is
quite equal tothat of the corresponding va-
rieties in North America. At the same time
the greens of Europe are quite difierent from
those of our own land, where, beginning
witha burnt green in the South, we pass
, northward along the Atlantic seaboard,reaeh-
ing the true green of the greatest of the bay-
producing states, the state of Maine, Every
one has noticed the unparalled green of the
“Emerald Isle,” which becomes a pale sea-
green in Scotland, a whitish-green in the
south of England and in France—only to
change to an ashen-green in Germany, and a
sombre olive in the Italian states.
But we were remarking upon the variety
of the autumnal tints in our own country.
This is explained by the fact that, while in
Europe there are only forty trees that attain
to a height of thirty feet, in North America
there are no less than one hundred and forty
