Cow Versus Protection. Yes, protection had a hard death last No- vember, killed by tie votes of the poor man at the polls,—the man who was promised protec- tion for m«ny years, and got it in just the way the supporters of it chagrined at the justifiable homicide of their pet, ar determined to do in Bellefonte to-day. As usual they never bring forth anything openly and truthfully but al- ways in disguise. The cow is d omed to protect the town from the cholera and all the most dreadful diseases known to the medical profession, when in fact it is only to protect the pocketbook of a few wealthy residents having lands in and arouad Bellefonte, on which they can keep a number of cows to a great profit to themselves. But who pays these enormnus profits? Just the same class that pays the profits upon all thzir protection schemes. Invariably the poor man has the greater burden. If the cow must go there is only one of two things for the poor man to do, sell his cow or keep her in thestable the whole year. To sell her would be to lose a large proportion of the family’s support. The advanced price of milk would make it impossible for him to buy for his family of little children. To keep her in the stable, would be very expensive, to say nothing of cruelty. But they say why not pay for pasture ? Pray tell us where to get it. That which can be had is readily taken by the well-to-do class, notwithstanding the advance- price that would be asked. Or the owners themselves would utilize it by keeping more eows themselves. The Gazette reports that a business man thought to start works here to employ hun- dreds of‘ men, but seeing the cows upon the streets, in ‘disgust left the town and located in’ some other town. What an assertion Taey say there is nothing upon the streets for the cow to eat. That may be true within the main part of che town but are there not back streets, little traveled, upon which the €ow . can graze. Are there not com- m ns jor waste lands within the town and | its suburbs ? Are there not many roads leading from the town into all parts ofthe country around upon which many cows could almost mintain themselves and thus to a large ex- teat maintain the family of their owners ? The advocate of this question should agaia come before the people and say what a friend %e is of the poor man and ask them to vote for him. Is he what he so represented ? His olfactory nerves being so sensitive that h> cannot endure to breath the atmosphere upon the streets thrcugh which a cow had quietly passed that morning upon her way to her grazing grounds outside the city limits: had better climb to the top of the highest | mountain and there remain the rest of his daiys,in quiet solitude, or within the next six mnths we, may expect his auditory vo become 30 affected as to come forward with an ordi- nance to prohibit all children from being upon the streets, unless with an adult person, and not allowed outside of their houses without being properly protected from speaking above a common tone. He will say that this is also protection. CITIZEN. THE OLD MILL, 0. H. WASON The water mill I love it sti'l, Now it i3 old and gray ; Though to my mind A bit declined, It never can decay. There on its crest The swallows nest, And aged mosses are ; While down the deep The waters sleep Beside the rotten bar. The pondrous wheel Is like the keel Of time forsaken boat, Or mossy bridge Upon the ridge Of old ancestral moat. But time brings back The click ana clack The wat« rs pure and fleet, When on the brim Where shad ows dim Of weary little feet. And then a maid Beneath the shade Of wrysting willow tree. And then a youth In periect truth Two lovers fair to see But time did pass The miller’s lass Grew lovely unto death The stream ran dry And by and by The miller ceased his breath. So water mill I love thee still, Now thou art old and gray, Though to my mind, A bit declined Though never can decay. C———— Resolutions of Respect.

Up to the great white throne in heaven, Beside the Jasper Sea, Where wave o'er wave of rapture rolls Through all eternity. *Tis in heaven their darling's feet shall tread Safe on the blissful shore.

This is to certify that the Home Comfort Steel Range wus sold to my neighbors in In- diana when I lived there in 1887, and they were all very wel! pleased with it. Being anx- jous to know in regara to their durability, I wrote to a friend there on March 8th, 1893, and received a reply very flattering to the range. C. W, LOVELAND.
