CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1899.
BRIEF riENTION.
N. Seger commences the New Year
with a complete new stock and is offer,
ing Bome rare bargains for ready pur
chasers, in ready made clothing.
A newspaper, trut lly remarks the
Johnsonburg Hreezo, is a peculiar
article in the public's eye. The news
gatherer is stormed because he gets
hold of one article and is abused be
cause he does not get hold of another.
Young men as well as old, perform acts
which are legitimate articles for publi
cation, and then rush to the newspaper
ofilee to beg the editors not tx> notice
the escapades. The next day tliey con
demn the same paper for not having
published another party fordoing the
same offense of which they were
guilty.
"After a long business career," says
a long-headed business man, " my de
liberate judgment is that it pays to
wear good clothes, fashionably made.
I remember when, as a boy, 1 began
my business career at §0 a week. I was
sent on an errand to a swell tailor's
establishment of the city. After 1 had
done my errand the tailor looked me
over and suggested that t should order
a new suit. When I explained my
financial condition ho said kindly: 'My
boy, whatever it may cost, it would be
the best business investment you could
make. With fashionably cut garments
your own confidence and self-esteem
will be enhanced and other people will
think better of you,' and he generously
offered to make me a suit and let mo
pay for it whenever 1 could or not at
all. It was as good an investment as I
could have made. The habit it gave
me of always wearing good clothes
helped me very much in my long busi
uess career."—Galveston News.
TliP filnmtonlinrj' Tliorn.
At Glastonbury abbey, in Somerset
shire, England, once stood a thorn tree
which, it is said, bloomed every Christ
mas morning. The first authentic ac
count of it ever written was in 1772 by
a visitor who tells of it in the account
of his visit to the abbey.
The keeper assured him that St. Jo
soph of Arimathea landed not far from
the town, at a place where there was
formerly an oak that had been planted
to his memory; that he and his com
panions marched to a hill and rested
themselves, and that Joseph stuck hid
staff in the ground. Now, this staff was
a common dry hawthorn stick, but it
grew and first came into full flower on
Christmas day. Afterward tho tree,
which has thus grown and budded like
Aaron's rod, always bloomed on tho
day of our Lord's nativity and upon no
other day, the flowor, like those of tho
blooming cerens, lasting but a
few hours.
Many queer stories have been told of
the "miraculous thorn of Glastonbury."
It was said that if the chips from it
were planted they would sprout and
grow like potatoes; that tho leaved
cured all inflammations, swellings, etc.,
and that "rods" cut from it would nev
er leave marks on the children corrected
by their use.
"iMu rated, by tJovr!"
At a lending New England college £om«.
years ago when tlio coniiJieix-onic nt exer
cises were over and the diplomas had been
distributed, -ays 1). ri. Sanl'ord in 'l'ho
Atlantic, a member of the graduating
class, who had been more distinguished by
conviviality than studiousness, and who
had barely escaped losing his degree, ap
peared upon the campus and, waving tin
much prized parchment over his head,
shouted gleefully: "Educated, by Jovcl
Educated!"
Tho idea expressed by the rollicking
student, more in than In earnest, il
lustrates a notion of education which dies
hard. The popular prejudice tlint culture
is something extracted from books, picked
up in a lecture hall or a laboratory or
seized during tho fleeting years of one's
school or college life is so prevalent that
it becomes the obvious duty of the school
to press home to the consciousness of ev
ery person the conviction that an obliga
tion rests upon him to undertake a course
of education lasting throughout his life.
