Sberin had been wHtchinor him, and was after
him In an Instant, but itoueher Jumped Into the

him with one hand and reaching lor ihe bell

did not work, howev-r, and the hratlemuu had
to r to the next car forward to sift 1111 1.
Cannon, on reaching- tiie platform, leaped
therefrom while the train was tunbinir at the

fell on his head, he retrained his feet, ininiedi'

used by Cannon ih opening his brncelets" was

WHAT THK ANOEL CAMB FOR.
IThe following lines are respectfully dedica
ted to t he memory of Master Tram as Rk acker-.
youngest son of Patrick and Maria Hrauken.
formerly of Cambria county, now of Parker
City. Pa., who died In his mother's arms on Sun
day morning, March Is, 1817, at tha early age of
ycArs j
i An angal to onr household came
In the early days nf Spring,
When rbe trees were freshly budding
Ac4 new life was la everything.
H? fe throng the gate of Heaven,
At ihe dusky eventide.
And the house was filled with plory
While h tarried by my side.
And t said. Oh I white-robed angel.
Why have you borne this day t
What heavenly mission of iery
Has turned you ("steps this way?"
I am a guardian angel
My master has seut me down ;
Re needs another Jewel -.
To adorn bis holy crown.
I watched his lovely glances
V bile th'v wandere'd tenderly,
First to little Walter,
Then to Thomas on my knee.
And be said. "There are many trials
Scattered atong throiurb life.
And many hours of sorrow.
Anguish, pain and strife.
. "But those who are up in heaven
Are free from all these harms i
So t think 1 will bear your baby
Up to my Saviour's arms;"
So saving he took our Thomas
And pi-eoared to wing his flight.
But gave us all his benediction
Before he passed from mortal sight.
We made a grave In the chorcbynrd.
In the newly springing green.
But the darkness we had looked fur
Was uowtu-re to be seen.
For over bur stricken household,
.And over out hearts bereft.
And over the crave there rested .
That blessing the angel left. tcGENX.

Mr. FniTon Some time ago there appeared
In your paper an article which seemed to re
flect on the repution of A. I. H , or at least he
had reason to suppose It was intended for him.
The article in question, we can truly ear, was a
foul slander on that gentleman, as' he has in
variably conducted himself In a proper and
exemplary manner since he has come among
us while as a school teacher he cannot tie ex
celled. We have every reason to know that he
is strictly honest in all his dealings and trans
actions and possesses, all the traits of character
which adorn the true gentleman.

people. It works like a charm in all cases
of Consumption, Pneumonia, Hemorrhages,
Asthma, severe Coughs, Croup and ail other
Throat and Lung Diseases. Ko person has
ever used this medicine without getting im
mediate relief, yet there are a great many
poor, suffering, skepticnl persons going about
onr streets with a suspicious cough, and the
voice of consumption coining from their
lungs, that will not try it. If you die, it is
your own fault, as yon can go to your Drug

rode on the first passenger car that passed over
the road, meeting It. with many others, ai WU
