Allegheny street, from the depot to the
viaduct, at the lower end of town, seemed to

Don't borrow trouble. If you want any, and
don't know where to get it, start a newspaper,
run it a few years, and then try to collect the
money you have earned. Our word for it you
will have as much trouble as you wil know
what to do with.
There is no better time than the present,
when trade is dull, to try the virtue of a
liberal use of printer's ink. If there is any
thing that will bring you customers, and start
the wheels of traffic, a free use of printers' ink
will do it. Try it.
We were in error last week when we stated
that Robert Lott was playing porter at the
Miller House. Robert is portering on his own
hook, and will be found at the depot upon the
arrival of every train, ready to deliver baggage
to any part of the town.
The business men in the neighborhood of
Fifth and Washington streets have employed
a night watchman, whose duty it is to keep
an eye on the stores in that locality. This is
a good idea, and one which should be imitated
in other sections of the town.
One hundred and twenty-five Altoona ex
cursionists, with a band of music, passed
through this place, on board the Pacific Ex
press, on Saturday morning last, bound for
Lewistown whither they go to explore the
mysteries of a cave in that section.
Owing to the continued dry spell a short
corn crop is predicted. Whilst the corn has
suffered in this vicinity, we are informed that
in some sections of the county it never looked
better at this season, and the promise for a
large yield never was more favorable.
John Bell, better known as "Satan," ayoung
colored man of this place, was overcome by
the heat on Thursday afternoon, and for
several hours was considerably prostrated.—
He was attended by Dr. Jackson, who suc
ceeded in getting him on his pins again.
The other day a boy purchased a nickel
novel at the JOURNAL Store, read it through,
and then addressed his mother thus :
"Mother, let me be an Indian,
Let my blanket be of red,
Kill the rooster in the barn-yard
For a feather for my head."
A tramp, who was arrested for jumping on
the cars, raised considerable rumpus in the
neighborhood of the depot,on Monday evening.
He was lodged in jail, and before he is re
leased the county will have the pleasure, of
paying several dollars in the shape of board
bill and costs.
The colored people ofthis place commenced
a series of "bush meetings," in M'Cahan's
Grove, about one mile from town, on Sunday
morning last, which lasted until Thursday.—
A large number of people were present at the
Sunday evening exercises, and the best of
order prevailed.
The first rain, of any consequence, for the
space of four or five weeks, fell in this neigh
borhood at a late hour on Friday night, and
was of immense value to parched and droop
ing vegetation. A heavy wind accompanied
the rain, and large quantities of fruit were
shaken from the trees.
If we are not mistaken there is a law in this
borough compelling the owners of dogs to
wear a muzzle upon them during a certain
season of the year. If such a law exists it is
the duty of those in authority to enforce it in
this season of mad dogs. Look up the law,
gentlemen of the Council.
We observed our friend, Rev. J. W. Ealy,
hurriedly pass along Fifth street, the other
morning; he was trying to make the train,
and as it was lying at the depot he could not
spare the time to stop and intertwine digits
with us. Ills robust appearance indicates the
enjoyment of good health.
The Coleman estate, in Lebanon county, one
of the largest and best in the State, in order
to give employment to men in that locality,
discarded the reapers and mowers this season
and cut the immense crops with the old
fashioned scythes and cradles. A gang of
twenty-seven men was a sight seen in one field
during the late harvest.
The late Presidential contest engendered
much "bad blood," which coolness and judg
ment will correct. The "bad blood" induced
by a persistent violation of Nature's-great but
simple laws requires not only coolness and
judgment, bur obedience to hygienic measures
and the proper use of Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture
to insure its purification.
The aged mother of Rev. A. Nelson Holli
field, of our town, died at Reeserille, Chester
county, Pa., on Thursday morning of last
week, in the 70th year of her age. During
her brief residence in our town she had made
many warm friends who will mourn her death
with real sorrow, although she had lived the
allotted three score and ten.
A tramp hailing from Ann Arbor, Midi.,
who gave his name as Deßoy Phelsh, had one
of his legs badly crushed between the bumpers
of two freight cars, upon which he was "dead
heading" it, on Friday night last, at Warrior
Ridge station, four miles west of this place.
He was brought to this place the same evening,
and removed to the Aims-house ou Saturday
morning.
The Altoona City Band, under the leader
ship of our former townsman, Jule Neff, gave
our citizens some excellent music while the
train, which carried the excursionists to Lew
istown, on Saturday last, tarried at the depot.
The only fault we found was that there was
not enough of it. Since a number of Hun
tingdon's musicians removal!). to Altoona that
city has built up good bands.
On Sunday evening the fire which had been
burning on Warrior Ridge for a week or more,
got so close to the fences on the farm of our
townsman, Dr. R. A Miller, that he had to put
crowd of men to work to beat back the
flames in order to save his property from de
struction. The firm is located in Oneida
township, on the Warm Springs road, and
about four miles from town.
Our friend and townsman, Jess,! Summers,
has broke ground for a brick yard on the land
of R. R. Bryan, esq., on the north side of the
road leading to the Warm Springs, about one
mile from this place. Mr. Summers has had
large experience in the manufacture of brick,
and with the superior quality of clay which be
informs us is to be had in his yard, he will be
able to make a first-class article. We bespeak
for him a liberal patronage.
On Monday last, as Mr. Scott Baker, of Tod
township, was driving from his home to this
place, in a buggy, his horse took fright, be
came unmanageable, and ran away. When in
the vicinity of Paradise Furnace, in said
township, the wheels of the buggy struck a
stump standing near the road, throwing Mr.
Baker out among the wheels, from which
position he extricated himself with great
difficulty. One of his arms was dislocated
and his body considerably bruised.

The law passed last winter, relating to
stealing passage on railroad cars, is an im
position on the taxpayers of the State. The
law compels the fining and imprisoning of
every person convicted of the offense, and the
result is that every county in which the of
fense is committed will be saddled with jail
fees anti other costs, for in ninety-nine cases
out of every hundred the guilty parties are
penniless tramps, who are unable to pay, and
who don't care a continental how often they
are arrested. The law is an outrage.
Our townsman, Mr. Jackson Lamberson,
whose occupation is that of a carpenter and
bridge contractor, while working on the Mill
Creek river bridge, on Thursday last, fell off
the structure, a distance of twenty odd feet,
dislocating his right hip, breaking his shoulder
bone, cutting two or three ugly gashes on his
head, beside being bruised over his entire
body. His wounds are severe, and although
notdangerous, will prevent him from pursuing
his calling for months to come. We sympa
thize with our friend in his misfortune.
The Soldiers' Orphan School at Anderson
burg wiil be closed on the 30th of August
next, and the children transferred to other
schools. The school will be closed at the
request of Prof. hall, who says that the
limited number of pupils in attendance will
not justify him in continuing it at the usual
rates paid by the State. Mothers and guar
dians can select the school they prefer their
children to go to if done within two weeks
from this date, but if they fail to do so the
pupils will be transferred by the Department
to such schools as it may select.
We ackno•vledge the receipt of an invitation,
accompanied by the necessary "paste-boards,"
to join the excursion of the Pennsylvania,
Ohio and West Virginia Press Association to
the Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. It is expected
that the excursionists will leave Pittsburgh
on Tuesday, August 20th, and consume about
a week in making the trip. Our invitation
came through Col. Wm. Foulk, general busi
ness agent of the Association, and, who, we
suppose, will pilot the pencil-shovers. It will
be a pleasant journey, and if we can "make
the riffle" we propose to make one of the party.
The paper mill of Morrison, Bare Sc Co's., at
Roaring Springs, Blair county, made a narrow
escape from destruction by fire on \Vednesday
evening of last week. As it was, the chemical
apartment, a room fifty feet in length, was
totally consumed, involving a loss of $2OOO.
There seems to be a conflict of opinion in re
gard to the firing of the building; a workman
contending that it was fired by a spark from a
passing engine, whilst Mr. Bare, one of the
proprietors, thinks that it caught from the
heat generated by the soda-ash used in the
preparation of material for the manufacture
of paper.
A chap pretending to represent Cole's circus
has been duping the landlords and people of
Lock Haven. We believe the same individual
borrowed five dollars from one of our Belle
fonte landlords. Cole's circus, which he pre
tended was coming to Lock Haven is now
away out in Michigan, and may not be in this
section of country this season.—Bellefonte
Watchman. We suppose this same chap has
been "doing" some Altooniane, as we saw a
notice in the papers of that city that Cole's
circus was to exhibit there on the 31 inst.—
We advise landlords to keep a top eye open
for advance agents.
This from an exchange : We like to see a
man refuse to take his local paper, and all the
time sponge on his neighbor the reading of it.
We like to hear a man complain when we ask
him to subscribe for his local paper, that he
takes more papers than be reads now, and
then go around and borrow his neighbor's, or
loaf around him until he gets the news from
it. We like to see a man run down his home
paper as not worth taking, and every now and
then beg the editor fur a favor in the editorial
line. We like to hear a merchant refuse to
advertise in a house paper, and then try to
get a share of trade which other people bring
to town.
An exchange says, with truth : Idleness is
mother of vice, and a boy who is allowed to
grow up in idleness is pretty sure to be a
vicious man. The parents of such boys have
a fearful responsibility resting upon them
when they let their sons run about late hours
of the night instead of keeping them at home
reading good newspapers and books, and train
ing them into moral habits so as to become
respectable men instead of idlers, rum-drinkers,
gamblers and loafers, which is sure to be the
case with the night runners and dayidlers.—
Give the boys plenty to do, and you will pre
serve their morals. Better a tired body than
a vitiated mind.
We learn from an exchange that a couple
of gentlemen are now engaged in making a
lithographic view of Bellefonte. Not long
since two chaps tried to make a view of Hun
tingdon, and how signally they failed to do
so, it is only necessary for us to say that their
pictures, for which subscribers paid $2.50,
can now be purchased in this market at prices
varying from one dollar to fifty cents. Take
away the name of the town from the bottom
of the picture, and remove the names of our
citizens who have their residences in the
vignette, and there is not a man in the county
who will be able to recognize the tow❑. It
will answer just as well for any other town as
it does fur Huntingdon.
Fashion is always changing the size and
shape of note-paper and envelopes, but the
quality never alters. Nothing looks poorer
or more untidy than thin paper, and envelo
pes that do not conceal the writing. No let
ters should ever be crossed, even among rela
tives or intimate friends. Some literary peo
ple affect carelessness in writing, thinking it
rather Byronic to do so, but if they realized
the effect produced by a slovenly letter upon
the mind of the recipient, they would never
repeat the offence. In no way is one's culture
sooner judged of than by his manner of wri
ting a note or a letter. The very latest st3lea
and best quality of all kinds of Stationery
can always be had at the JOURNAL Store.
Three tramps were brought to this place,
on the 4:15 train on Sunday afternoon, and
lodged in jail, charged with the robbery of a
fellow traveler. It seems that a party of five
tramps were stealing their way westward, on
board of a freight train, one of whom was
possessed of a watch, a gun and about one
dollar in cash. When the train stopped to
take water at Warrior Ridge station, four miles
west of this place, on Saturday night last, his
four companions, with real communistic
spirit, attacked him, beat him severely, and
robbed him of all his earthly possesions.—.-
Three of the party were arrested, one of whom
had the gun in his possession, but one eluded
the officers and got away with the watch and
the cash.
We were shown, by Dr. Brumbaugh, a col
lection of rare and beautiful specimens cf
minerals, etc., contributed to the cabinet of
the Normal and Collegiate Institute of Hun
tingdon, by S. D. Button of Philadelphia.--
These were the first specimens deposited for
this Institution. The Dr. has been appointed
by the Board of Trustees to solicit contribu
tions of books, and funds for the Library ; and
he will also be glad to receive contributions
of minerals, fossils or petrefactions, things
rare or curious, or whatever might be useful
or valuable in a cabinet. Each article con
tributed will bear upon its label the name of
the contributor, as well as be publicly ac
knowledged. This is a good cause and should
be encouraged.
The valuable sorrel mare of our neighbor,
Geo. A. Port, esq.. had one of her front legs
severely cut, on Thursday night last, by get
ting it entangled in her halter chain. The
wound, which is several inches in length, and
so deep that the bone is exposed, is on the
inside of the leg close to her body, and the
supposition is that it was made by the soap
clasp on the end of the chain. The muscles
and leaders of the leg were all exposed and
presented an ugly sight. The cut was care
fully washed and sewed, and we think, with
proper care, will heal in due time, but we
have our fears that the leg will be permanently
injured. The animal is one of the best
travellers in town, and it will be a great pity
if this accident should result in making her a
cripple.
There was considerable excitement in the
neighborhood of the Union depot, upon the
arrival of the Phila. Express, on Friday night
last, occasioned by the attempted arrest of
three or four tramps who had violated the
law relating to stealing a ride upon railroad
cars. When the train stopped at the depot
the tramps left it, and started down Allegheny
street, followed by the officer, who called to
them to halt, and upon their refusal to comply
‘vith his recinest he whipped out Id revolver
and fired il. couple shots at the fleeing
traveler:, but even this did not stop them.—
[►uring the night, we understand, one of the
party tell into the hands of Constable West
brook, and was given quarters in Fort Irvin.
We don't know who the officer was who fired
the shot : .vas he should be
arrested and punished for shooting along it
public street when, owing to the darkness, he
was unable to tell who might be struck bt•
the bid!. Some officers should earry a quill

Henry Merritts caught thirteen large sized
pike on Saturday last, and had them on sale
in this place the same afternoon. Henry is
an expert in trolling for these fish.
During the past week a good many pike
have been caught in the waters of Stone
Creek, in the vicinity of "Simpsons' Bottom,"
distant from this place about one mile and a
quarter.
In Cambria county, a few nights ago, a be
lated citizen was attacked by au owl, which
bit and scratched him severely, but by vigor

A pigeon match, between Capt. Bogardus.
cf the United States, and a Mr. Wallace, of
England, on the 19th ult., resulted in a draw,
each man killing ninety-seven birds. They
met again on the 24th and Wallace carried off
the blue ribbon.
One morning last week, Ed. Stewart caught
a cat-fish, on an outline, which weighed 3f
pounds, and upon opening the fish he found
in it a stone which measured seven inches in
circumference, five inches in diameter, and
weighed 2/ ounces.
The juveniles display a large amount of pa
tience in trying to tempt the bass, to be seen
under the river bridge, to bite at the bait
thrown to them. Some good-sized ones can
be seen there at any time, but they are mighty
shy of the tempting bait.
Rarus, the monarch of the trotting turf, at
Cleveland, on Friday last, made the fastest
three tulle trot in the world, beating Gold
smith's Maid's time with apparent ease. The
following is the time of the several heats :
First heat, 2:141 ; second, 2:15 ; third, 2:14.
A couple of enterprising young gentlemen,
residing in the Loop, near Hollidaysburg, have
succeeded in training four toads, which ac
cording to the Standard, live in mud houses
constructed by their owners, wear a harness
without kicking, and draw a sled from place
to place to which they are attached.
Game of all kinds promises to be unusually
plenty this season. A gentleman informs us
that in walking from Marklesburg to this
place, on Sunday last, he saw several rabbits,
pheasants and squirrels, and upon an oak tree,
standing near the public road, lie discovered
three half-grown raccoons.
J. B. Watkins, of Quitman, Georgia, tells
this story : "While fishing with set lines for
catfish in the Coosa river, a small three-pound
cat was caught. This cat was put on one of
the lines whole for bait. Visiting the hooks
next day, it was discovered that something
tremendous had been caught. It proved to be
a cat which weighed forty-two pounds. Upon
examination it was found that the first fish of
three pounds had been swallowed by an eleven
pound cat and been caught, and in turn the
two had been swallowed by the forty-two
pounder. The three weighed fifty-six pounds.
As all of our readers are more or less inter
ested in the success of the efforts of the Fish
Commissioners to populate our streams with
good table fish, we think the following article
from the Harrisburg Telegraph will be read
with interest:
, 'Accounts from all parts of the State where
the Fish Commissioners have deposited within
the last four years young fish of different
varieties show that they are flourishing, and
that within two years, more and greater vari
eties of fish have been taken in the Delaware,
Susquehanna and the Juniata than were ever
hooked or gilled in the same streams. The
amount of salmon caught in these streams, to
say nothing of the bass, has been immense,
and the trade has already reached an aggre
gate of receipts in money to be rated as an
item of importance in the commercial receipts
of the State. It was reported at first that the
bass had cleared the streams of other fish, but
this is not correct, as the cat fish, suckers,
fall fish, &c., are as plentiful in their usual
haunts as they were before the introduction of
the bass.
On the subject of shad there is still a feeling
of great dissatisfaction along the Susquehanna
from Columbia as far up north and west as
that fish has heretofore located its spawning
ground. The State has expended large sums
of money during the last fifteen year:, and
still there has been little profitable improve
ment in shad fishing above the Columbia dam,
but enough has been accomplished to show
that the obstructions at the different dams
and chutes along the Susquehanna and Juniata
are sufficient to prevent the upward passage
of these fish, and that the only recouse now
is to make the fishways at these different
points entirely successful by the erection of
gates at the Columbia and other dams, which
may be opened and shut to accommodate the
run of shad, and secure in low water all the
feeding necessary to run the canals. It is
idle longer to parley on this subject. Thous
ands of dollars have been wasted in efforts to
secure the passage of fish by "ways" and
"chutes." so that what we need and must have
are openings in the several dams, which
neither can be "shingled" nor obstructed by
accumulations of timber or debris of any kind.
We have learned enough to know that shad
will pass up stream, if the dams are cut or
broken down to low water mark. The catch
at various places along the river prove this,
and now what we want are openings made in
accordance with law in the dams to enable
all fish thus to pass to their spawning ground.
We have no fault to find with the Fish Com
missioners. They have experimented with
ability and industry, but the results have only
shown that it requires practical, thorough
work on the dams, opening the obstructions,
and no longer wasting time or money in en
deavoring to surmount them. It must be
done at all dams in whatever streams, in the
Susquehanna or its tributaries, when we will
have shad in abundance; shad by the hun
dreds of thousands instead of in pairs or
triplets.
We have repeatedly called attention to this
fact, and shall do it as often hereafter, until
the result desired is attained. There is no
reason why the Susquehanna, along its entire
length, should not be a prolific shad fishing
ground. It can be made all this without in
the least impairing the interests of navigation,
and we intend to urge this until it is accom
plished."
A WEDDING NIPPED IN THE BUD.—
A prospective wedding, which was to have
come off, in this place, on Friday last, was
suddenly nipped in the bud by the intended
bridegroom skipping for parts unknown. The
wardrobe of the bridegroom being rather sbab
by, and he not having the wherewith to pur
chase a new one, his intended took pity on
him, purchased him a new suit, and gave him
some loose change besides, in order that he
might appear to advantage on the night when
two souls were to be made happy. The happy
moment arrived when the two were to be
made one, but 10, the bridegroom came not,
and after diligent inquiry, it was ascertained
that he had departed for some other field,
dressed in his new clothes and jingling in his
pockets the shekels so generously given him
by the lady who was willing to unite her for-
tunes with his. Up to this time his wherea
bouts is unknown, and the intended bride is
out of pocket several dollars.

THE KILKENNY CAT FIGHT ECLIPSED.
—3.‘n BLOOD ExtliarrED IN TIIE GREENBACK
CAMP.—For a week past it was evident to the
close observer that there was something more
than usual transpiring in the Greenback camp.
Little knots of the followers of Brick Pomeroy
could be seen upon the street corueis, enga
ged in earnest conversation, from early morn
ing until twelve undone o'clock at night. One
of the more ardent supporters of that cause,
during the past week has talked so ninth that
lie has lost ten or fifteen pounds in weight,
and has become such a terror to persons who
lure quiet and Wilo do not feel like being
talked to death ' that when they see him ap
proaching they flee as from a pestilence. The
cause of all this extra talking and undue ex
citement was caused by the delegate elections
un Saturday night, and grew out of the efforts
of "shirt-tail Speer" to run the primaries of
that party. At the second ward polls the ex.
citement ran high, and for a little while it
looked as if some of the participants would
resort to regular "knock-down" argument to
sustain their position. The lie was freely
given by both factions, and at one time we
were sure that the services of a police officer
would be necessary to restore quiet. Several
persons, who have been acting with that party
and voting with it, but who had not signed
the constitution of the club,• when they pre
sented themselves to vote were flatly refused,
and no amount of promises to vote the ticket
this fall would enable them to get in their bal
lots. This decision caused more trouble, and
looked as if it had been a nice little "set up"
by those in the "ring." We heard a dozen or
more persons who were not permitted to vote
say that the party could go to that country
about the existence of which Beecher has some
grave doubts. In the First Ward, we under
stand, about the lame state of affairs existed,
only that both Republicans and Democrats
were permitted to vote. They are a "happy
family," and to an old stager in politics their
conduct on Saturday night was really laugha
ble. As we do not know the leaders of the
clans we are unable to say which fiction car
ried off the blue ribbon.
THE ACTS OF DEVILS.—On Tuesday
morning of last week the citizens of Titusville
Pa., were greatly excited and justly indignant,
when it became known to them that the resi
dence of Rev. W. J. Chichester had been
entered by human devils and its contents
outrageously despoiled. Mr. Chichester, for a
number of years, occupied the pulpit of the
First Presbyterian church in Altoona, and
having often, during that time, preached in
the Presbyterian church, in this place, and is
well known to many of our citizens. He
resigned his charge in Altoona, and accepted
a call from Titusville, whither be recently
removed. At the time the outrage was perpe
trated he was absent at Cape May. The
trunks and drawers had been emptied and the
contents scattered over the floor ; the furni
ture was saturated with kerosene oil and be
smeared with salt, sugar, and jelly ; the bed
ding was ripped and cut open with knives,
and the feathers spread broadcast ; ink was
poured over the carpets, lounges and chairs ;
the lamps were broken into fragments ; a card
case and other metallic ornaments, including
a fine clo3k, were twisted out of shape and
hurled into the cellar ; valuable photographs
and pictures were torn to pieces and strewn
about; the sewing machine was mutilated,
and a family relic in the shape of a silver
watch was taken to pieces, the works thrown
on a table and the case left on the floor. The
wails were defiled by filly and obscene in
scriptions. The house was full of gas caused
by the leaving of a stop-cock turned on. The
most extraordinary feature of the outrage is
its pure deviltry, inasmuch as nothing was
removed or purloined from the dwelling to
indicate a felonious attempt to rob or steal.
We glean the above facts from the Altoona
Mirror.
HOT AND COLD SUMMERS.—Somebody
has been hunting up the hot days during the
past century, and reports them as follows :
July 2, 1777, 102 ; August 8, 1780, 105 ; July
5, 1791, 111 July 10, 1804, 105 ; July 20,
1815, 105 ; July 4, 1824, 108 ; August 2,183 G,
108 ; July 26, 1847, 105 ; July 5, 1855, 106 ;
July 10, 1866, 104; July 17, 1871, 104; July
5, 1876, 105 ; July 26, 1877, 95 degrees in the
shade. Tuesday the thermometer stood at 98
in the shade. It will be seen that on July 5,
1791, occurred the hottest day for a century,
when the mercury marked 111 degrees by the
shade at noon.
In 1816 there was frost every month during
the year, and farmers wore overcoats in their
harvest fields, and the weather was decidedly
cool during the entire year. The wheat crop
was abundant: the potato crop large. It was
known as the cold summer. The summer of
1836 was nearly as cold as that of 1816. There
were frosts every month in the year; there
were 178 days of east wind and rain, and the
only summer weather occurred on the first
fourteen days of September, when the mercury
in the thermometer ranged up to 93 degrees.
A LEETLE TOO MODEST.—A lady on
the northside wishing to test the merits of Dr.
Bull's Cough Syrup thought it would never do
to ask the druggist in the name of "Bull,"
Why, dear me, she couldn't say Bull to save
her life, and called at last on a neighbor
woman for suggestions on the matter. Dr.
Cow's, Dr. Calf's Dr. Buffalo's and Dr. Oxen's
Syrup were all mentioned. The latter suited.
"Yes, that will do—Dr. Oxen—the very thing,
the druggist will understand that." A walk
of two squares found her at the counter of Dr.
ll—'s store, when the following dialogue
occurred :
"I wish a bottle of Dr. Oxen's Cough Syrup."
"Dr. Oxen, Oxen, why, mam, I don't believe
I keep that. You mean Coz's Hive Syrup."
"Oh, no, I mean, mean Dr. Oxen," and then
she wrapped in solemn thought for a moment,
when a bright idea seemed to beam forth.
"Hasn't Dr. Oxen got a relation or—"
"Oh, yes, you mean Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup,
yes, yes." The lady sat down a moment and
all was ove. (Indianapolis Exch.)

MYTCN.—At Petersburg, on the 13th ult., Mro.
Rebecca Myton, oldest daughter of Josiah
Cunningham, aged 57 years.
Mother's dead ! What burning, scorching words
to the human heart ! No two words in the lexicon
of the English language or in any other language
convey to the human mind of wan such soul har
rowing intelligence as those two. words; a com
plete recollection of all the toils, trials, and trou
bles comes fresh and vivid to the minds of her
children ; then for the first time do they fully ap
preciate the long lite of self-sacrifice and labor of
love spent in their behalf. No member of the fam
ily so important and so hard to spare, no chair in
the family circle seems so awful vacant as that of
Mother's, nu void so aching as that made by the
death of mother. If there be one creature more
saintly than another, it is mother. The only joy
mingled with the heart-rending sorrow, causd by
her death is, that she tp,s,de earth more heavenlike
and has now gene to make heaven more heavenly.
MOTHER'S CHILDREN.
