The words and acts of the day | now constitute history—bistory that! will be read someawhiere by those w ho | furnished the material. In the light] of what that day is and the design of | ita cbeervance, and in view of what | our flag teaches with respect to self- | government and what it prophesies | aud offers to all the pations of the earth, we should inquire with becom- | ing =eriousness whether its observance | in many places is in accord with what | that tlag symbolizes. It tells us that our institutions were | bought with blood. The crimson in| our flag speaks with an impressive ac- | cent in this line. The white tells us | how pure, in character and life, the | people should aim to be if they would perpetuate to coming generations the | blessings embodied in our noble ban- | ner. True courage, high honor, self control, love of peace, good will to all meu, these are qualities that should be inculeated—taught in our schools and emphasized in our homes. Then we may ask whether carousal, diuuken- ness and such like are in harmony with the spirit of our institutions, or the manly expression of gratitude for the favors we have received at the hand of a kind Providence. Would it not be better to arrange for some exer- cises, in which patriotic songs or hymns, with instructive addresses would forma part. There is talent enough in our towns aud country dis tricts to provide fora profitable aud enjoyable day which would fit us all for better citizenship. ———————— DEMOURATIU STATE CONVENTION, i August 16 has been fixed upon by the Democratic Btate Committee for the reassetnblage of the State Conven- tion to name a candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court. It Is suggested that if the convention shall indorse the nomination of Judge John Stewart, it shall be done as the result of the un- derstanding that independent Repub- licans shall in turn indorse the candi- dacy of the Democratic nominee for Blate Treasurer. The convention will hardly approve such a suggestion of dicker. There are many eminent Democratic lawyers in Pennsylvania who might be appro- pristely named for Justice of the Su. preme Court and who should be named if there were any hope of success. But there is no such hope, As it happens the Republican nominee is altogether fit for the place and has peculiar claims upon the good will of indepen: dent voters. He should be indorsed because of his deserving. For precisely like reasons the inde peudent Republicans should indorse Mr. Berry, the Democratic nominee for State Treasurer. They cannot con- sistently support Mr. Plummer, But their action should bé based on convie tion, not purchase.

This was done to abridge any disturbance in case the Ege were broken, Up to this point there was nothing striking about the incident, but forty-eight hours afterward Rev. Bechrist heard the chirping of little peeps, and upon investigation dis covered that the faint sounds came froma the little mound undernesth which was supposed to lay a setting of bad eggs. The minister could scarcely believe his own ears, but took a stick and began stirring about the ash heap, when, what do you think! eight peeps were unearthed. An aoe cident happened to one of the little chicks, but the remaining seven orphans are in the pink of condition. I A 0 SABA Advantage of Buying at Home, Ten years ago a farmer put his ini- tinls on a dollar and spent it with a merchant, Before the year was out he got the dollar back, Four times in six years the dollar came back te him for produce, and three times he heard of it in the pockets of his neighbor, The last time he got it, four years ago, he sent it to a mail order house, He has not seen that dollar since nor ever will. That dollar will never pay any more school or road tax for him ; will never build or brighten the homes of the community, He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to him, ing went Bil i i A338 at to I t rend 3 Mere to Bgl ¢ o ron fe “fs nfer under the auspices Y.

The skies which threatened in the early part of the day dropped their frowns and put on & kindly face, a prophecy of what actually came to pass during the day. Our beautiful valley appeared in its best dress. The fields, the groves, the mountaine seemed to vie with each other in chaste and attractive attire, The grove selected for the day's so- journ extended a silent but grateful welcome to the little party. ‘The hours passed rapidly in pleasant and profitable intercourse—happy ex- change of thought and feeling, min. gled with plays adapted to the needs of the younger children, from Baby Gresk upward, Some of the elder boys stole a little time to talk about certain schools of philosophy and even ven- fired ou & abort voyage on the misty soa of " eschatology,’ but no one was wrecked.
