LONIjEN The last full sheaf is garnered now, And fields bereft of clover, The maple leaf falls from the bough, For summer days ire over. The rose no longer sheds perfume, The evening primrose closes, For seasons of such seeming gloom, Are not the ones for roses. The days have lost their measured hours, Within the murky weather ; For summer—mother of the flowers, Ilas called her brains together. Unless, perhaps, one golden-rod, Upon the hillside lingers ; Also, it too must disappear, Snuffed out by unseen fingers. Or flashing onward down the stream, A branch of golden willow, Rest on the ripples, as a gleam Of sunshine on a pillow. In shady dells, where lovers met— Beneath the foliage oaken, The seal of swift decay has set As vows there made—and broken All day long, and all night through, The katydid and cricket, Yips all their tell-tale musical crew, In meadow brown, and thicket. And thus our lives, like their's go out Singing a song of sadness ; The only joy we ever feel, Is while we live in gladness. Better to live no life at all, Than to expect all green, The Lord directs the Summer and Fall— And with us, "The Closing Scene." gcluparr cjist,ory. Address of Prof. A. L. Guss, of Hun tingdon, before the Juniata Valley Printers' Association at Cres son, September 6, 1879. PERRY COUNTY The "Perry Forester" was started by Alex. Magee and 11. W. Peterson, July 12, 1820, at Landisburg, then the county seat of Perry county. January 13, 1831. Pet erson retired to Canada. Major Magee continued, enla . rging the paper in January, 1826, from four to five columns. In April, 1829, the paper was removed to Bloomfield. and in March 1, 1832, Magee retired and was succeeded by David A. Reed, who conducted it three years. Dr. James Ickes took charge of the paper Feb nary 14, 1835, with Peleg Sturtevant as publisher. A year after this the files of the "Forester" end, but it is known that John McKeehan and others became pub lishers, editors and proprietors, and the materials finally passed into the hands of Judge Baker in the establishment of the "Freeman." The Perry County Democrat" was born October 7, 1836. George Stroop and James G. Sample were its founders. They purchased the "Mercury and Perry In telligeneer," which had been published by dames B. Cooper for a short time at Liver pool and removed it to Bloomfield. De ceinbeir 8, 1836, enlarged to a six column paper. Sample retired in November, 1837. Stroop continued until his death, January 1856. He was succeeded by John A. Magee, son of the pioneer editor, with George Stroop, son of the first editor, as his associate. Stroop retired in 1858, and is now of the "Tyrone Democrat." In 1867, enlarged to seven columns, and 1871 to its present size. The Sample above named was in the "Spirit of the Times," at Miffiintown, and was a son-in law of Alexander Magee, and this family seem all to take to the printer's case as naturally as a duck to the water. The "People's Advocate and Perry County Democratic Press" was started June 27r1853, with new materials, by John H. Sheibly as editor. representing a company of then leading Democrats. In 1854 it took the side of the American party, and in the following year advocated Fremont, and has been a Republican paper ever since. In 1866 the name was changed to "The People's Advocate and Press." It has been under the editorship of John 11. Sheibly from the start to this day, now twenty-six years, who has been assisted for some years by A. B. Anderson. This paper has never missed an issue since it started, not even taking a Christmas, or Fourth of July vacation. Started seven columns, enlarged to eight columns, Sep tember,lB6B. Has a Cottrell & Babcock power press. Got the first job press (a Gordon) in the county in 1866. Was burned out December 5, 1873, losing mach type and presses. James P. Laird served an apprenticeship in the office and except a few short intervals has been apprentice or foreman since 1857. The "Perry County Freeman" was es tablished J une 1, 1839, and has been edited and published from that date to this, now forty years. First six, now seven columns. Established Whig—now Repub lican. John A. Baker editor. The history of no other paper of its age can be written in so few words. Baker is the oldest continuous editor in the district. "The Times," New Bloomfield, Pa., started August 1, 1867, a four column quarto, was started as a monthly, and was published gratuitously for two years. It was then enlarged in 1870, lengthened in 1871. It is independent, and still quarto in form. Frank Mortimer, editor. In December, 1868, Mortimer purchased the office of a man named LuckeLbaugb, at Port Royal, who had not yet got out a paper. The conditions specified that he was to issue for Luckenbaugh one paper. Hands were taken there, one issue struck off, and the office removed the same day. '•lf so quickly I was done for, I wonder what I was begun for. The Millerstown Ledger" was estab lished Nay 1, 1875, by George Shrom, and continued to December 9, 1875, when the office was removed to Newport. On December 16, 1876, "The Ledger" was commenced at Newport, and has been con tinued by Shrom to this date. The "Newport News" started by E. T. Williams and Herman Smith, November, 1868, subsequently edited by Williams alone, who sold to Charles A. Wright, No vember, 1869, who sold to George Shrom, December 11, 1869, who sold July 25, 1874, to Henry B. Zimmerman & Son, who sold to Furguson & Fry. .The latter still conducts the paper. On January 1, 1857. Levi Klauser be gan the "Millerstown Gazette." CAMBRIA COUNTY. The first thing in the newspaper line in the county of Cambria was called the "Ellelah Sky," published by Ephraim Con rad, from the "Deserted Village" two miles DAY, OCTOBER 10, 1879. west of Ebensburg, as early as 1798, but the paper was printed in Philadelphia.— Like that town itself it may be said it was, but is not. The first paper printed in Ebensburg was started in 1814, and called the "Olive Branch and Cambria Record," by Thomas Foley. It ran about a year, or to the end of 1819, when the editor got in jail fir debt. I suppose if that law still existed it would break up this picnic to-day. The next effort was called the "Cambria Gazette, commencing in 182, by John Murray and Thomas McFarland, but after two years the materials were removed to Blairsville for the establishment of the "Record," but in 1831 that office was pur chased by John J. Canan and William B. Brown, and re-conveyed to Ebensburg, where they commenced the publication of "The Sky," July 26, 1831, afterwards changed to the "Ebensburg Sky." After a year and four months Brown retired. In an issue of December 20, 1832, it is stated that the "newspapers printed in the United States amount in number to nearly one thousand," and the issues average four papers annually to each inhabitant. After another year John Scott became an asso ciate editor with Canan. January, 1836, Scott retired. April, 1838, Moses Canan succeeded him, and May 26, 18-16, the publication suspended. The "Sky" was neutral until the "Democrat" was started, after which it opposed that paper. Its material went to Johnstown, where its publication was resumed, and it became the forerunner of the "Tribune " About November 6, 1828, Dr. Robert. and Samuel Young started the "Mountain Telegraph and Cambria Gazette," but this enterprise soon ceased telegraphing. In 1832 the "Cambria DeMocrit" was established by Arnold Downing, who con tinued it about three years, when it also perished. In 1836 William B. Conway started the "Mountaineer" in Johnstown, and after a short time removed the office to Ebensburg, when, in 1838, being appointed by Presi dent Van Boren, Secretary of lowa terri tory, the paper suspended—he having in all printed fifty-six numbers of the "Moun taineer" in Johnstown and Ebensburg. In these days the "Democratic Journal" was started by John Scott, about July, 1838, and ran till January, 1839, when it passed into the hands of R. D. Johnson, who conducted it a year, and the material was then removed from the county. After about three month's suspension of Conway's "Mountaineer" it was revived by S. S. Seeley and Glessner in 1838, who were followed by Thomas Lloyd in 1839, and then by John B. Brown in 1812, then by James McDermitt in 1843, and then by John G. Given in 1846, who changed the name to the "Mountain Sentinel," from whom it passed, March 1, ISSI, to A. J. Riley, who sold it, August 1, 1833, to Richard White and William B. Sipes. In the mean time, Richard White started the "Mountain Democrat," in 1852, and at the end of the year the "Mountain Sentinel" and "Mountain Democrat" were merged into one paper, under the title of the "Democrat and Sentinel," edited by White and Harry Devine. In 1859 they were succeeded by Daniel C. Zahm, then by Charles D. Murray, and in 1863 by James S. Todd, and in 1864 by Michael Hasson. and in 1865 by Clarke Wilson, and in 1866 by William McEnrue, under whom it suspended. In January 1867 the office was purchased by R. L. Johnson and under the charge of H. A. McPik, ethe "Cambria Freeman" was established. McPike soon bcoame sole owner, and continues its publication to this date, as is well known to us all. The "Alleghenian" was started in 1853 by A. C. Mullin and Charles A. Albright. They were followed by J. 11. Durborrow in June 1854, and then by John M. Bow man as editor and R. L. Johnson as owner, and the paper then suspended after a meagre existence of a couple of years.- The materials were then taken to Kansas into a new paper which came under the wrath of some persons during the Kansas slavery excitement, and they now repose gently on the bottom of the tugid Missis sippi river. In 1858, the "Mountaineer" (No. 2) was established by Philip C. Moon, who was followed by John Lloyd, but this also suspended after a couple of years. On August 25, 1859, The Alleghenian,' (No. 2) was started by Bolsinger and J. Todd Hutchison. After February 16, 1860, by Hutchison alone until August 15,1861. He was followed by lion. A. A. Barker, September 20. 1861. The name changed to the "Ebensburg Alleghenian." From October 19, 1865 , the paper was conduct. ed by Barker, an Hutchison to October 18, 1866, when the paper suspended. Jan uary 24, 1567, J. T. Hutchison and Will iam E., his son, resumed its publication. The latter having died the paper was con ducted by J. Todd Hutchison alone after January 16, 1868. August 13, 1868, Ed. James became a partner. After August 19, 1869, Hutchison conducted it alone to August 4, 1870, or 1871, when the paper again suspended, and was resumed August 3, 1871, by Ed. James under the name of the "Cambria Herald." May 9, 1879, the office passed to Fess Lloyd, who still continues its publication, and during the past week he has added to his sane tum an "angel," such as has never lighted up the dismal headquarters of such crusty bachelors as are found in the "Johnsown Tribune" and some other offices. I heard of a paper called the "Free man," published by one Martin, at Port age, but even brother McPike 'could give me no further information. The "Northern Cambria News," at Car rolltown, was started started April, 1879, by Scott Williams. The first paper published in Johnstown was the "Johnstown Democrat," by Wil liam D. Latshaw, in 1834. and contined until 1836. In the spring of 1536, William B. Con way started the "Mountaineer," but dur ing the year removed it to Ebensburg. Tne "Democratic Sentinel" was started in 1846, and'after five issues, by George N. Smith, it ceased. In 1846, the "Democratic Courier and Tariff Advocate" with Thomas A. Ma guire as editor, and H. C. Devine as pub lisher, was started by the "outs" of the Portage railroad. It was commonly called the 'Threshing Machine," and was filled on four pages with editorial matter. After about a year the name was changed to the "Cambria Transcript," and was conducted by Devine, John K. Ouslow and probably others. By ISIS, it suspended and was revived by George N. Smith, in 1849, and called the "Mountain Echo and Cambria Transcript," and continued a year or more. In the spring of 1853, George N. Smith and C. L. Pershing revived the "Moun tain Echo" in an enlarged form and with new material, which they run until the spring of 1861, when it suspended—the material sold and taken away. Among the titles of this paper, besides those above named, were the "Mountain Echo and Johnstown Commercial Advertiser and Intellivneer," and the Allegheny Moun tain Echo and Johnstown Commercial Ad vertiser and Intelligencer." Prior to this the "National Democrat" was started by A. J. _Hite in 1857, and run about eighteen months. "The "Johnstown Democrat" (No. 2) was established by J. F. Campbell, with new material, in March, 1863. December 12, 1861, it passed into the hands of 11. 1). and 1). Woodruff, who have continu ed it publication to this day. The "Mountain Echo" (No. 3) was started by George N. Smith in the fall of 1870, and after a year was succeeded by Thomas L. Myers, and then by Casper Easley, and then by D. W. Hite, after which it ceased to echo among the moun tains, but op July 2, 1872, there came a "Daily VoiEe," from John B. Campbell and brother, sons of the irrepressible J. le. C., which was run for over two years, when the "Daily Voice" ceased and there was a '•Voice and Echo" commenced in October 25, 1876, by J. F. Campbell, which continued its reverberations between the Johnstown hills fur about two years longer. Campbell is now about to start another paper in Johnstown to be called the "Times." The "Teachers' Advocate" was publish ed in Johnstown about 1865 to 1870, by T. J. Chapman and J. Frank Condon, and afterwards by D. W. Hite and G. J. Akers. The "Johnstown Freie Presse," a Ger man paper, started in 1871 by Victor Voefitly and Charles Snyder. It suspend. ed in the fall of 1872, revived by George S. Lechner in the fall of 1877, and sold to C. T. Shubert, who still publishes it. We have heretofore related how the material of the "Cambria Gazette" was taken from Ebensburg to Blairsville into the "Record" and then brought back into the "Ebensburg Sky." In the early part of 1837 the material was removed to Johns• town, and the first anti-Democratic paper was published in Johnstown, by John J. Canan, still called the "Sky.'' After a year Steel S. Sample took charge of the paper as publisher, Abraham Morrison having purchased the material from Canan. After two or three years it was suspended until 1842, when Moses A. Canan, son of Moses Canan, above named, became pub lisher and changed the name from the ' Sky" to the "Cambria Gazette," and con tinued it about two years, Messrs. George S. King and Charles B. Ellis having purch ased the material from Morrison for Canan's use. He was followed by James Morgan for about a year, when Thomas S. Reed and Andrew J. Eckles followed during the Polk and Clay campaign of 1844. After this, Moses A. Canan again returned to the office, and after about six months died, when Robert H. Cagan, his brother, con ducted the paper the rest of the year, as administrator of the estate, and at the end of 1845, suspended, when and by whom it was again revived is not ascertained, but prior to 1849, Thomas A. Maguire was running the paper, and in that year sold it to William Foster, who changed the name to "Valley Wreath." After a year Frhok W. Hay was associated with Foster for some nine months, then after some time S. B. McCormick assisted Mr. Foster. In the campaign of 1852, James M. Swank took charge of the paper for the proprie tors and changed the name to "The Cam brian." After the campaign, it again sus pended, but on December 7, 1833, Swank purchased the material and changed the name to "Cambria Tribune," and continu ed its publication until June 11, 1856, when John M. Bownman purchased the office from James M. Swank, and conduct ed the paper until March 20, 1858, when James T. Swank again became connected with it, and the firm of Bowman and Swank again retired, and Bowman remain ed sole editor until June 5. 1863, when Cyrus Elder became associated with him as editor. October 7, 1861, Swank re purchased the material and published the paper with Elder as an associate until Oc tober 5, 1866, when Elder retired, and Swank remained until January 7, 1870, when the office was purchased by his brother George T. Swank, who has con ducted the paper until this date, and be sides the weekly has published the "Johns town Daily Tribune" since March 3, 1873. Joseph Young came from Doylestown and started a German paper in Johnstown in 1857. After a few issues he was placed in jail, for lack of bail, on some charge or libel suit growing out of something in his paper against his political opponents. He was liberated and left town. Ile had brought his motherless daughter, a small girl, to Johnstown, and in the incarcera tion dilemma her friends took her back to Doylestown. A romance grew out of this. M. P7Rindlaub, a brother of the wife of speaker, came to visit us, your speaker be ing then teaching school in Johnstown, and he getting a job with Colonel Bowman in the "Tribune" office remained some months and became acquainted with the young lass, Kate Young. Thy kept up a correspondence. He removed west and became editor of the "Grant County Wit ness" in Platteville, Wisconsin. Seven years afterward he came east to Doylestown and married that girl, and she is now the mother of several type setters and several lasses, who in a few years will also be on the outlook for stray, lonely typos belong ing to several other mothers. CENTRE COUNTY, The "Democratic Watchman," at Belle fonte, was established January 1, 1855, by Wein Forney and Henry Hayes. After two years John T. Hoover became pro prietor, and associated with himself B. F. Hall, but after a few months the paper passed to S. S Seeley and B. F. Hall. Soon after Hall withdrew and was succeeded by J. S. Barnhart. January 1, 1861. During April there was no ostensible editor. On May 1, 1861, its owners, S. T. Shugart, A. T. Hoover, Dr. Samuel Shoemaker, John Hoffer and C. T. Alexander, leased it to C. T. Alexander and P. Gray Meek. The following August Meek withdrew and was succeeded by John W. Furey. April 1, 1562, Meek purchased Alexander's in terest. October, 1863, Meek became sole owner, who has continued the paper to this date. John P. Mitchell, Alf. S. Kinoff, Jack Spangler and J. W. Furey have been associate editors. The press is run by water power from the Bellefonte springs. The "Bellefonte Republican" was es tablished January 6, 1869, by W. W. Brown and A. B. Hutchi,-on, under the name of A. A. Hutchison & Co. June 8, 1870, R. B. Barger purchased the "Belle fonte National" and consolidated it with the "Republican." Hutchison retired, and R. B. Barger & Co., continued, Soon af ter this the paper was enlarged to a quarto sheet, which form it still remains. In November, 1872, the office was bought at Sheriff's sale by James A. Beaver, W. P. Wilson, John P. Harris, A. S. Valentine, Edward Blanchard, Daniel Rhodes and William Shortlidge. The paper being sus• pened was resumed January 8, 1873, un der the firm name of E. T. & R. P. Tuten —the former editor, the latter publisher. March 1, 1875, Robert Tuten sold his in terest to Edward T. Tuten, who cJntinues to publish the paper to this day. CLEARFIELD COUNTY The "Clearfield Republican" dates its origin from the beginning of December, 1828, when the "Pennsylvania Banner," 12x17 inches, made its appearance on a sheet, like the other old papers, of a qual ity like a low grade of wrapping paper of the present day. A practical printer nam ed George S. Irwin, was the founder. The press was made by Christopher Kratzer, a cabinet maker, of Philipsburg, who after wards became a partner with Irwin. This press was used fifteen years, and the mak er was not prosecuted for infiringing on the rights of Adam Ramage. About 1832 W. L Moore and a lawyer named Martin became owners. Martin was succeeded by Matthew Brown, who was followed by Levi L. Tate in 1834 or 1835, now the memor able editor of the %Villiamspot "Sun." Tate ceased about 1830, and in the fall of 1838 W. L. Moore sold the establishment to his brother, D. W. Moore. who remain, ed sole or part owner until 1865, when he sold to the present proprietor, G. B. Good lander. Previous to 1838 the name was changed from the "Pennsylvania Banner" to the "ClearfiPld Banner," and when in possession of D. W. Moore it was changed to the "Democratic Banner." In 1849 the name was changed to the "County Dollar," and in 1851 it was finally changed to the "Clearfield Republican," which title it still retains, notwithstanding it is opposed to the party since arisen called Republican. Mr. Moore's assistants or partners were 1)r. Thompson, A. A. Hemphill, Clark Wilson and the present owner. From 1856 to 1860 it was leased to Major Lamar and R. F. Ward. The paper is now fifty one years old, and since 1834 at least of Dem ocratic persuasion in politics. The ".Raftsman Journal" was establish ed May 1, 1851 by 11. Bucher Swoope. January 1, 1836, S. B. Row became editor and proprietor, with S. J. Row as local editor. April, 1860, S. J. Row became sole proprietor and since February, 1873, his son Al. M. Row as local editor. The "Osceola Reveille," of Oseola Mills, Clearfield county, was first published by Brisbin Bros., January 1, 1876, G. M. Brisbin, editor. In March following J. M. Scott became an associate editor. Jan uary 1, 1877. Scott and 0. E. McFadden started the "Industrial World," a labor paper. February, 1877, Scott & McFad den leased the office from George M. Bris bin who revived the "Reveille" and con tinued its publication to this day. It is due your speaker .to say that he did not visit Centre and Clearfield counties, not being able to secure free transporta tion, be therefore could only gather a few facts concerning the papers in those coon ties. Ile is well aware that the oldest and most interesting facts regarding the pa pers in these counties are not herein set Perth. elert Charmed by a Snake. For some weeks the parents of Bertha Miller, near M t. Vernon, Ohio, had noticed that their daughter was showing marks of declining health, evidenced by an increas ing paleness and emaciation and accom. panied by a melancholy mood. Sa marked was the change becoming that they began feeling great solicitude concerning her and consulted a physician about the matter.— The physician visited the girl, but was unable to explain the cause of her decline or to render her aid. It also fell under the observation of her mother that each afternoon, about three o'clock, the girl would leave the house and remain away from one to two hours. This fact being communicated to the other parent, it was decided to watch the young lady and dis cover if possible the reason for such habitual absence. Accordingly on the day follow ing when the hour had about arrived the father left the house and watched for the going of his daughter. In a few minutes the young girl was on her way through a wood and up a ravine leading from the house to a small stone quarry, some half mile distant, reaching which she took a seat on a flat stone, under a small clump of trees, and remained sitting there quietly for several minutes, her head held in one position, and eyes evidently fixed on one spot. The father had gotten up so near by this time that he could observe all that would happen. In a few moments, to his amazement, there proceeded from the di rection in which the girl was looking a snake about four feet in length, and known to him as our common blacksnake or racer. So astonished was he at the peculiar man ner of his daughter and the appearance of the reptile that he remained quiet in his concealment to observe what would hap pen. Tne snake crept slowly along towards the girl until it halted close to her feet. After remaining there motionless for a minute or more and gazing fixedly into the face of the girl it slowly and stealthily began creeping toward her, and in a mo ment lay coiled in her lap. The girl re mained perfectly motionless, apparently not the least alarmed at the presence of her visitor, but gazing intently at it. After !yin; in that position for a short time it slowly uncoiled, crept down to the ground and back to its hiding place in the rocks. The girl remained sitting motionless for a considerable time, and then got up and re traced ber steps to the house. On the next day the father, at the appointed time, took his gun and proceeding to the scene killed the reptile. The girl, startled at the report of the gun, sprang to her feet, but immediately recognizing her father, proceeded without further ado back home with him. She, when interrogated, could give no intelligible reason for visiting the spot, except that at a certain hour she felt strongly inclined to go and sit there. She has rapidly recovered her health, and ap pears in no wise affected in her mind.— Experts can offer no solution to this strange proceeding, the most intelligible that the animal possessed a powerful mesmeric in fluence, and had so wrought upon the mind of the girl that she went automatically to the place. This, in connection with an accumulated inherited disposition to be be guiled by a serpenr4—transmitted from our first mother, Eve—offers the only rational explanation. IT is pretty evident that when a man buys a hundred dollar handkerchief for a "duck of a wife," that he is a "goose of a bus" •: - _ SußsitißE for the JOURNAL. Could We Live in the Polar Regions ? If we carefully examine, the almost uni versal features of all the land known to us, we find a prevailing form wherever we turn. Each territorial area of magnitude seems to have appendage tending south ward. If we apply this rule, by turning the North Pole of a globe coward us, we readily see at a glance that Greenland, which is known to us, may bear to an un known Artict Continent the same relation that South America does to North Amer ica, or Africa to Europe. Hence it is per fectly logical to infer, by the great analogy of nature, that an Artist Continant exists beneath the North Pole, extending three and a half to four degrees south from the northern axis of the earth. As previous Arctic expeditions have advanced to 83 degrees, 26 minutes, north latitude—or within 394 miles of the Pole, the distance thence to such a continent would not ex ceed 155 to 180 miles. This intervening space, hcwever, is difficult to traverse, as it presents a very rough surface. If the sea during the height of a gale, when the waves run mountain high, were instantly frozen, it would present much the appear ance here encountered. For ethnologists, the question is : Can an Arctic Continent be inhabited, should one exist ? This may be met by the well known fact that the latitude of 78 degrees is about the point, of lowest mean temperature. The earth is about thirty-seven miles more in diameter at the equator than from pole to pole, hay. ing enlarged at one point and flattened at another, because of its revolving motion. Now it is well known that lower tempera tures are encountered as we ascend high altitudes, and the depression at the poles may, by lessening the distance of the sur• face from the earth's centre, afford a warm er temperature, which will enable the hardy Esquimaux, Ainos. or same Hyperborean race, to exist upon an Arctic Continent The Use of Pain. The power which rules the universe, this great, tender power, uses pain as a signal of danger. Just, generous, beau tiful nature never strikes a foul blow; never attacks us behind our backs ; never digs pitfalls or lays ambuscades; never wears a smile upon her face when there is vengeance in her heart. Patiently she teaches us her laws, plainly she writes her warning, tenderly she graduates their force. Long before the fierce, red danger light of pain is flashed, she pleads with us—as though fur her own sake, not ours—to be merciful to ourselves and to each other. She makes the overworked brain to wander from the subject of its labors. She turns the over-indulged hod; against the delights of yesterday. These are her caution sig nals, "Go slow." She stands in the filthy courts and alleys that we pass daily, and beckons us to ester and realize with our senses what we allow to exist in the midst of the culture of which we brag. And what do we do ourselves ? We ply whip and spur on the jaded brain as though it were a jibing horse—force it back into the road which leads to madness, and go on full gallop. We drug the rebellious body with stimulants, we hide the original and think we have escaped the danger, and are very festive before night. We turn aside, as the Pharisee did of old, and pass on the other side with our handkerchief to our nose. At last, having broken nature's laws, and disregarded her warnings, forth she comes—drums beating, colors flying— right iu front !to punish us. Then we go down on our knees and whimper about it having pleased God Almighty to send send this affliction upon us, and we pray Him to work a miracle in order to reverse the natural consequences of our disobe dience, or save us from the trouble of do ing our duty. In other word -7, we put our fingers in the fire and beg that it may not hurt. —Temple Stuttering. Mr. Edgar S. Werner recently read be fore the Albany Institute a paper on this subject. Mr. Werner himself was, at one time, afflicted with this terrible disease, and he says that parents almost invariably treat a stuttering child with too much se• verity, and thus by frightening him in crease his malady, or spoil him utterly by too much leniency. The proper way in which to treat such children is thus de• scribed : In nothing is the adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," more applicable than in stuttering. Indeed, in this instance, an ounce of one is more effective than a hundredweight of the other. Children with stuttering ten dencies should be especially well nourished ; they should take a great deal of physical and out door exercise ; care should be ta ken that their lungs are fully developed, and that their nerves are not irritated.— Late hours and highly seasoned food, and everything tending to derange, weaken or unduly excite,mentally or phy sically,should be avoided. The child should not be al lowed to talk too rapidly or when out of breath. If he has trouble with a word he should be asked to repeat the whole sen tence and not merely the offending word. Oftentimes a serious mistake is made here. The child is drilled upon his most difficult words, and he comes to fear them, and, as a result, his ability to articulate them is continually lessened. lle should not be permitted to associate with another stut tering child; indeed, no child should. In veterate stuttering may be caused by mimicking others. Throughout, the child should be subjected to kind but firm treat ment. THE world is made up of trifles, and he who can trifle elegantly and gracefully is a most valuable acquisition to mankind. The man who is all wisdom and all gravity, we very much fear is also all tediousness. WISE men mingle mirth with their cares, as a help either to forget or to over- come them; but to resort to intoxication for the case of one's mind, is to cure melancholy by madness. THE blessings of an active mind, when it is in good condition, is that it not. only employs itself, but is almost sure to be the means of giving wholesome employment to others. IT Is only by labor that thought cau be made healthy, and only by thought that labor can be made happy ; and the two cannot be separated with impunity.
