A very curious incident overtook me
a few days ago. While rummaging
through one of my pantries, I found a
bottle containing a small drink of
spirits frumenti. It happened to be a
little balance of the pure, old-time rye
sent me some three years ago by a
friend at Pittsburgh. How to dispose
of it to the best possible advantage
was a query to me. I hesitated a mo-
ment, thinking of the poor fellow at
Whiterock, who was pulled in a week
ago by our noble, industrious state
constables, on finding a quart of
moonshine in his possession, and was
paroled for one year for violating the
law. To say the least, I was some-:
what agitated, more particularly since
I am a temperate man. To make a
long story short and to avoid trouble
I speedily drank the vile stuff, and now
defy the entire force ‘of state constab-
ulary. “An open confession ‘is ‘good
for the soul.” I advise all to cut it
out.
Prof. Harry E. Breon closed his
school term on*¥riday last, and now
expects to devote some time to the de-
velopment of his prospective coal
mines. He has had a number of coal
specialists prospecting and all declare
that it will only be a short time until
his ambitions will be rewarded. And
ity will not be" bliged to go outside of
the county for their coal supplies. A
very phenomenal incident occurred on
Saturday last, when he picked up a
piece of slate four by. five inches in
size and examining the same found
grown into the slate the initials “H.
E.” The writer saw the specimen and
is satisfied that it was not the work
of human hands, as the same grew
naturally into the slate. The curious
observers now predict that the inci-
dent is a good omen and that Harry
will soon be able to supply his friends
with a bounteous supply of genuine
coal. It is to be hoped that these pre-
dictions will be verified at an early
ate.

The writer, while crossing the Brush
mountain north of Rebersburg, some
time ago, was deeply impressed with
the beautiful valley which God has
given us to live and spend our years
in. When we looked from the high
point of the mountain we could not re-
frain from saying to ourselves “how
beautiful,” and how much more beau-
tiful and pleasant would it be if every
one inhabiting it would do what is
right and pleasing in the sight of Him
who formed the earth and pronounced
it good. Some time ago we were crit-
icised by a certain man in this valley
in respect to writing certain items,
which to him appeared as though they
were meant te stir up strife and con-
tention. This man did not catch the
true meaning of our thoughts and to
such criticism we must say that the
facts were stated so that the reader
might examine and see that we were
living far from perfection and far
from the principles that God had in-
tended should be lived up to. If we
want to utter our personal feelings we
must say that it is a shame the way
we are living in these days. Instead
of harmony and content among the
people of today there seems to exist,
as never before, a spirit of contention
and animosity which works out bitter-
ness and strife in such measure that
it has taken, we'are sorry to say, some
of the church folk and has made them
enemies instead of model folks of the
world. In.other words, it is not the
light as spoken in the scriptures.
What we need today (and God speed
the day) when we may call each other
brothers in the real spirit, so that
when we meet we will greet each oth-
er with a smile instead of a frown;
when, instead of hindering another’s
welfare we will seek to encourage and
lift up and so fulfill the law of
Christ. Do we want to live on until
remorse shall fill our bosom at the
final ending of the way, when we shall
see our mistakes as we fail to see
them now, and when we wish we had
lived a better and sweeter life ‘while
we had the opportunity. Have you
ever heard of a person nearing the end
of life’s journey sending for such with
whom through life there had been that
spirit of ‘jealousy, etc., in order that
~estitution be made before passing in-
to the great beyond? Do we want that
experience? Do we think that that
will be a pleasant experience if such
should come to us? Would it not be
better far to spend our years as we
might wish we had spent them when
we come to lay down our earthly task.
If we do not want this experience,
then it will be well for us to cultivate
the spirit of kindness and neighborly
affection that should characterize our
lives and evade the remorse that is
sure to come otherwise... Dear reader,
consider that the past is past and that
we are living in the present and are
responsible for the present. It is ours
to bury the past and live the best we |
can. Shall we, or shall we not do
this?’
