Charles Emory Smith, in bis speech in the hall of thu House of Representatives last Tuesday evening, on the libel laws of Pennsylvania, Bald: "The newspaper is a vital part of our modern social economy. It daily per forms an important and indispensable service. It is inseparably interwoven, with our whole social, political and business activity. The highest interests of society, us well as business require ments, demand tho promptest publi cation of the legitimate news of the world. With tho Immeasurable good of this publication, there are sometimes evils. No great institution is altogether free from them. Railroads sometimes kill people, but nobody propose to . abandon railroads, and the good results infinitely outweigh occasional mis fortunes. " -. Senator McQuown, of Clearfield, has ' introduced a bill in the Legislature looking to the improvement of the pub lio roads of the Slate, which hag some provisions that would certainly prove effective. Among others is one to Im pose fine of 150.00 upon any person elected road supervisor who shall refuse to serve, the fine to go to the rood fund. Another provision roads: "It shall not be lawful for any road supervisor to . be interested, either directly or Indi rectly," In any work done, purchase made or contract relating to roads and bridges, nor to furnish any materials therefor.

Character Is what a man Is the sum total of himself. Backbone Is the es sential to tho standing power of tho human body, and tho standing power of character Is lis essential clement. Nobility always guts its standing pluco without compromise of principle; that would be quicksand or a floating sea weed, instead of the solid rock of right. Cortland Meyers. Charity of speech Is as divine a thing as charity of action. To judge no one. harshly, to misconceive no man's mo tives, to believe things aio as they seem to bo until they are proven otherwise, to temper judgment with morcy surely this Is quite as good as to build up churches, establish asylums and found colleges. Unkind words do as much harm as unkind deeds. Many a heart bos been wounded beyond euro, many a reputation has been stabbed to death by a fow llttlo words. Them Is a charity which consists In withholding words, In keep ing bock harsh judgment, in abstaining from speech, if to speak is to condemn. Such charity hears tho talo of slander, but does not repeat it; listens in sllonce, but forbears comment; then locks tho unpleasant secret up In the very dopths of the heart. Silence can still rumor; It is speech that keeps a story alive and lends it vigor. BRAINS VERSUS LUCK. Every business man can call to mind certain men in his particular hue of business who seem to succeed with little effort in undertakings where others fail. This class of men are usually spoken of by their friends as being lucky; aud having natural tulunts; as being to tho manner born, etc. None know the fal lacy of these popular suppositions so well, bowovcr, as do tho successful men themselves. The cases are raro where successful men would not have boon equally successful in linos other than thoso they follow, because energy is the power that bridges difficulties, Brains are certulnly an important factor, and while brains cannot bo purchased, thoy can be developed by study and practloo, but with the largest equipment of brains success does not follow, unless there be application, Industry and enorgy. On the other hand, industry and energy often go far to supply deficiencies in talent and brain power. Probably the highest compliment that can be paid to a mecbanio is to tell him that he performs difficult work with ease, but no words appeal so little as these to the ears of men who have spent hours in accomplishing what the unlnltated think requires but a few moments' application of "natural (?) talent." selected.
