“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

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.

not to the credit of any gentleman to
appear in society clothed in ill-fitting
garb; although one should not bank-

way than cheap ones; the former wear

clothes seldom fit, lose their color in |

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-

Don’t cross between standing or

—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.

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.

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. My kidneys were soon acting
regularly.”

for women are peculiarly sensitive on
this subject.
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. |

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. |

‘are not distinguished by fidelity to |
