BACKWARD OLANUKS- How many people are gliding throueh this busv. excitintr and giddy world without ever glancing Dactward. xne hurry, worry and bustle ot business and treasure, sn occupy the mind and muscle, that Dtu iitue tuougnt is given to the natural order of events which are passing so rapidly in succession, to tneir destination place of forget- fulness and oblivion. As a rule, neoole erasrj at everv thing that glitters and excites their greea lor gain, in the hope of amas sinz fortune, fame and notorietw and let drop the far more important and weightier matters honor integrity and noble aspirations that lift humanity higher in the scale of a broader manhood, or brother hood, than merely to fill coffers with corruptible gold. No one hardly ever stops to re flect, that every passing event, how ever trivial, or serious, passes into history, unwritten, it is true, but uone the less real and should find somewhere, lodgment, in some re tentive memory, for traditional re hearsals, that would interest all lines of kinship throughout the domain of future generations. If spared to attain to a good old age, all must pass the limit of time, when worldly affairs (business and pleasure) will be less attractive than the reflective period, in which people will besearching for the lost treas ures of the unwritten history, which was permitted to pass from mem ory's wall, to be lost and forgotten N living person who has at tained to the age of sixty, or seventy years, who stops to think, and look over his past life, but must recall old acquaintances, long since dead, who were associated with him in many incidents and circumstances in life, that cemented bonds of friendship, food for fond recollec tions over which he rejoices to dwell on by reflection, but the panorama is so incomplete, when viewed through the dim kaleido scope of age, which reveals so many missing links from memory's chain, that the picture is more sad than joyous. In recalling the scenes of child hood and earlier man-hood days, we call up a whole generation of people, old familiar facts, with whom we had many pleasant asso ciations that have long been for gotten and drowned through the buzz and whirl of the world's busi ness progress, that the major part of their unwritten history, which would be pleasant to contemplate, but was lost by allowing the events of death, and the habits of his vic tims to pass from the realm of memory. But if every person's life were an open yearly book, of x6n naires each, and every day in the year, a page of that book, on which was photographed and' written, every deed, word and thought, for the world's inspection, either for in struction or morbid curiosity, 70 or 80 volumes of such books would reveal a state of accounts that would amaze and astonish the world, as well as every individual who has personally been writinp- his, or het own history, 011 the in visible pages of daily time, through out the passing years. Thus, in mercv has a wiso Provi dence so well provided for the world, and for all concerned, that each individual only, has access to his, or her own unwritten historv. and that so much of the unwritten history of his fellow men and ac quaintances, is doomed to oblivion and forgetfuluess.

Murder Is Charged. James L. Larkins, a well-known resident of Harvey's Lake, Luzerne county, was found dead in bed at his home, Sunday morning, with his throat cut. Thete seems to be no question that he was murdered. Samuel Keller, who spent the night with the murdered man was arrested and lodged in the county jail to await an investigation by the Coroner. When arrested Keller's clothes were covered with blood He also had a stab wound in the neck. He says he does not know how Larkins met his death. Sunday morning at daybreak he claims he heard some one cry for help. He thought he recognized Lar kins' voice. Tired Out " l was very poorly and could hardly get about the house.

When a girl of sixteen is seen on the streets she has a cute way of tossing her head as though she own ed the earth and was going to the middle of the next block to get it. After eighteen the world she owns is about as far as the Paris exposi tion was to the most of us and at twenty she gives tip all hopes of ever getting it at all. By the time she is twenty-five she has a vague suspicion that there is a great deal of insincerity in this world and the thing for her to do is to get a posi tion and do something useful. Alter a few years she gets married to a man who isn't at all the sort of a man she dreamed of. Then she concludes she is better off in heaven. Did it ever occur to you that a man could carry $5,000,000 on his person at one time, providing the money was in S?.onr hills This is worth remembering in case of emergency. Benton Argus.
