Sram Bellefonte, Pa., April 17, 1925. “THE TWO MYSTERIES.” By Mary Mapes Dodge. ‘We know not what it is, dear, this sleep so deep and still, The folded hands, the awful calm, cheek so pale and chill; The lids that will not lift again, though one may call and call, The strange white solitude of peace that settles over all. the We know not what it means, dear, this desolate heart-pain, This dread to take our daily way and walk in it again; We know not to what other sphere the loved who leave us go, Nor why we're left to wonder still, why, we do not know. nor But this we know, our loved and dead, if they should come this day— Should come and ask us: “What is life?” not one of us could say; Life is a mystery as deep as ever death can be, Yet, oh! how sweet, it is to us, the life we live and see. They might they say—these vanished ones —and blessed be the thought, “So death is sweet to us, beloved, though we may tell you naught; ‘We may not tell it to the quick, this mys- tery of death— Ye may not tell us, if ye would, the mys- tery of breath.” The child who enters life comes not with knowledge or intent, So, those who enter death must go as little children sent; Nothing is known, yet I believe that God is overhead, And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead. PLEASANT GAP PHILOSOPHY. By Levi A. Miller. The greatest essential to our hap- piness is, the resolution to perform our duty to God, as well as we are able; and when this resolution is deep- ly fixed, every action and every pur- suit brings satisfaction to the mind. Idleness will render you petulant, and disappointment ruffles the smooth- est temper. Poor human nature! How fearfuil- ly does it decieve itself when it flies to drugs or moonshine to relieve every disease. It is well known that the early christians, also, were remarkable for temperance and longevity too, when not removed by persecution. A wise man governs his passions, but a fool permits his passions to gov- ern him. The mind is immortal; full of un- dying thoughts and sublime concep- tions. ’ : The statesman is the leader of a na- tion; the warrior is the grace of an age; the philosopher is the birth of a thousand years; but the lover, where is he not? The beauty of a religious life is one of its greatest recommendations. There is not a word in Webster's Unabridged Dictionary which has more numerous or more pleasant as- sociations than Hope. Wherever we turn our eyes among mankind, we see and feel the influence of Hope. Parents should set good examples and be reverent in deportment in the presence of their children. All these instances of charity which usually produce affection—sweetness of con- versation, affability, frequent admoni- tion—all significant of love and ten- derness, care and watchfulness, must be expressed toward children, that they may look upon their parents as friends and protectors, their defense and sanctuary, their treasure and their guide. I would advise the moth- er to the culture of a pleasant voice, and warn her of the evils of address- ing her children harshly. Out of a kind heart comes naturally kind feel- ings. She who would train up her family in the sweet spirit of love, will succeed best, and most enduringly of all, by cherishing such sentiments as shall seek their own unbidden -expres- sion in gentle, yet all powerful tones. There is nothing more desirable in a daughter than intelligence, joined to a gentle spirit. The mind is fashion- ed and furnished principally at school, but the character of affections is de- rived chiefly from home influences. Mothers, particularly, have it in their power in early life to form the dispo- sition and character of their children, by instructing them properly, and by giving a right direction to the thoughts and feelings; by doing so, you determine which class of passions shall predominate in their minds dur- ing life. There is no knowledge worth anything unless it is founded on truth. To dress judiciously and appropri- ately goes a great ways in shaping the future destinies of men and women.

It is not to the credit of any gentleman to appear in society clothed in ill-fitting garb; although one should not bank- rupt himself in the purchase of cloth- ing. Good clothes are better in every way than cheap ones; the former wear longer, retain their color and fit, and look well until they begin to “shine” at the elbows and other places; cheap | clothes seldom fit, lose their color in | the first rain, and the wearer is heart- | ily glad to get rid of them when op- | portunity comes his way. As to the gowns, cloaks, dresses, ete., for indoor and outdoor wear, for the ladies, the latter’s keen sense of the artistic enables them to do much toward making their own clothes. Some women prefer to have their dressmakers do everything; others delight in inventing dainty articles and concoctions of every conceivable sort, their own dainty hands doing the cutting, fitting and seving. In the matter of adaptability, the ladies have an immense advantage over the gen- tlemen; but, as the apparel of the or- dinary society woman is costly the Washington was a surveyor, and he carried a republic out of the despond- ency of a Monarchy. The men of our day, in our land, who have aided in shaping politics, in swaying the | masses in peace and war, in educating and elevating the people, have been greatly influenced by our instructions; by the events in our history; by the | climate, the geography, the vastness of our broad, free land; they are the | empire men of the empire republic.

But if she unite in, mutual endeavors, or rewards his lar bor with an endearing smile, with what confidence will he resort either | to his merchandise, or farm, perform the most laborious work, sail upon the | sea, meet every difficulty and encoun- | ter every danger, for he knows that! his labor will be rewarded by the | sweets of home and the smile of that dear wife, whose affectionate welcome and tenderness repay him for every grief and pain; even misery loses the poingnancy of its grief in that bosom, formed for sympathetic kindness. The | most trivial word, or act of attention and love from you gratifies her feel- ings; and a man never appears to more advantage than in privacy, to the world, his affection and preference | for his wife.

Don’t cross between standing or parked cars unless you are sure the: drivers are aware of your presence. Stand on the sidewalk until there is an opportunity to cross, thereby mak- ing the curb your protection against the motorist who cuts corners. Don’t try to hurry across the street —any flivver can beat you. Carelessness on the part of the mo- | torist also has a lot to do with acci- dents to pedestrians. On this side the Pennsylvania Motor Federation says: Carelessness is involved in assum- ing that every one has alighted from a street car. Careful drivers don’t assume anything—they make sure. Carelessness is associated with the practice of assuming that pedestrians will get out of the way when the horn is sounded. Many of them are deaf, some are day-dreaming, others are stubborn. The pedestrian has the right of way at crossings. When the traffic officer says “Go.” be sure that it is a logical step. Offi- cers are only human. He may not see an impending hazard. The Captain’s Cameled Whiskers. It was the good ship Equator, a- sailing round the world and the lady asked the captain to point out the equator. For a joke he got out his bifocals, or whatever they call ‘em, pulled a hair from his whiskers, and held it in front of the glass for the lady. “Now, do you see the equator?” In Honor of Wilson. Relics of the turbulent days of the Middle Ages and of Charles 1, are still to be seen in Aberwystwyth, Wales, where Professor Charles Kingsley Webster, recently a guest at Hotel Pennsylvania, has the Woodrow Wil- son Chair in international politics at the University of Wales. Tourists are still shown the site where the King minted his coinage, and histor- ical vestiges remain of the place where he kept his troops during the Civil war. The Woodrow Wilson Professorship was founded at the close of the war in memory of the Welshmen who fell in battle and the name, “Woodrow Wilson” was given to the chair be- cause of the great admiration in which the American statesman was held by David Davis, M. P., under whose di- rection the professorship was added, Mr. Webster explained. “Woodrow Wilson is a world figure in Wales, and in all of Europe for that matter,” Professor Webster said. “While men may criticize some of the details of his career, they realize that he has given to the world the League of Nations, and Europe cannot get along without that.” Professor Webster was formerly professor of modern history at the University of Liverpool, and also oc- i cupied the chair of history and polit- "ical scieence at the University of Cambridge, Kings College.—New York Times. MEDICAL. What My Neighbor Says Is of Interest to Bellefonte Folks. When one has had the misfortune to suffer from backache, headaches, dizziness, urinary disorders and other kidney ills—and has found relief from all this sickness and suffering, that person’s advice is of untold value to friends and neighbors. The following | case is only one of many thousands, “but it is that of a Bellefonte resident. Who could ask for a better example ? . Harry Rossman, drayman, says: | “My kidneys didn’t act right and I had to get up several times at night. i My back was lame and ached a great ! deal, especially in the morning, mak- ing it hard to keep at my work. ! used Doan’s Pills and they quickly re- i lieved me of all signs of kidney trou- ble.

It means much that the father be a pleasant person to live with; able to enforce good manners without incon- sistency; having a short grip on the temper; considerate of the feelings of the family. It is highly desirable that he be able to make some allowance for the natural high spirits of the younth, | forgiving a good many negligences and ignorances, bringing into his ad- monitions a saving grace of humor, | being a friend rather than a master. { I would not have the children afraid of him, except when conscience makes cowards of them for their good. I re- member that the “Bad Husband,” as he was depicted years ago in Godey’s Lady’s Book, was the man who came home and abused his tired wife be-’ cause the roast was undone. He be- : longed to that considerable company of disagreeable persons of whom it is said that instead of borrowing trouble they just go home and make it. That was a small detail, but a significant one. The bad father is one who has, among his other faults, a habit of get- ting mad at the wrong times; for ex- ample, when the arrangements of the household hinder his personal comfort. This affects the children. At such times the seven devils are invited in to breakfast, even though the house is admirably swept and garnished. The best heritage which any father can leave his children is the legacy of an upright, gentle and useful life. A man who will not lie or steal, even though he be permitted to do so by the looseness of the laws; who does his duty, though it be an humble one; on whom his neighbors can depend; who is a good friend of his friends, and is considerate of those who have few friends; who is devoted to his wife and children, and who lives in the fear, but far more in the love, of God. This man is the right kind of father. | nis sn President’s Yacht Expensive. If you don’t think the up-keep of a steam yacht is costly ask some one who owns one. Mr. Coolidge, who fell heir to the use of the Presidential yacht Mayflower, thinks so. In fact, he has even thought of foregoing the pleasure of its use for the sake of economy. Here is what the up-keep of that trim craft costs in a year: Repair, $152,000; pay of nine officers, crew of 163 and miscellaneous work- men, $222,000; provisions, $9,400; oth- er supplies, $33,200; engineering, $86,- 200; total, over $500,000. A 48-hour trip sets the nation back $10,000. President and Mrs. Coolidge use the yacht more than any of their prede- cessors. Many week-ends, both win- ter and summer, are spent on it. A select party enjoys movies on board, | and here the President discusses and | often works out weighty problems. | rr —————— oe No Smocks Worn in England.
