On Tunes in and Around tho Town. Bead ant Uljest j Hii'imslo ino that parents can have j Imi m-i y little regard for tho present and fnttiro welfare of their offspring when they ! let Ihjm tun thU sheets so promiscuously .at all Iiuitrs ot tho day and night. Tho very air breathes contamination, nnd every hour spent 'mi the streets in silly flirtation and reckless conversation with married men and strangers jeopardizes their futuro earthly career as woll as their chances for a homo In heaven. It Is a peculiar and tin fait law of society that will tolerate, an In Individual whoso very soul Is filled with the poison of dissipation and crime, and stained with tho comipllnn of years, and yet that so-called society will not hold out Its hand that tho poor, down-trodden and oppressed woman can raise out of tho "slough of des pond." She Is fated, let her go, poor, for saken creature, death Is her only rcfugo from tho sneers and taunts of society nnd in many Instances thu church. Parents should lmp-css upon the minds of their daughters the Importance of leading nu upright, christian life, for, upon tho virtue of our women depends the future of our government. Keep them off tho streets and the closing years of your lifo will close with happiness, otherwise they will even tually bring sorrow and grief upon you. ' A peculiar cuaracteilstic of the nine teenth century li the rapidity with which Individuals take up the populat dogmas of our times. No matter how pernicious In their clTeet-or' complicated in theory, the latest delusion Is always the most popular with the illitciatc of every community; but I would hut bo understood lo say that it Is simply the Ignotant who are blinded by fine theories and beautiful rhetoilc, It would bo looked upon as unjust by tho followers of Henry George alul Dr. McGlynn whoclalm to bo amongst the foremost thinkers of to day. Almost every country town has one or two, probably a half dozen advocates of of tho ground rent theory, and Lehighton Is no exception. Thoy make It a point lo circulate free land tracts, Ac, with what effect I am tumble (o say. Hut I do r.ot think 'this new agitation will find a large following here amongst our German citi zens who aro tho owners of their own homesteads and who appreciate and love Iho aim of freedom which gives them an existence free from tho oppression of nion- archism. The latest populardelu9lon must peregrinate to tho North Pole. Thore Is 110 ceremony so impressive as the marriage vows made before Uod nnd man, nnd yet how often arc they but a mere mockery of a licentious soul. If up on tho virtue of our women depends the future of our government how totten and wrecked that government must most cer tainly be and what a ftiluic Is before Us. "To love, honor and obey;" do some of you married folk ever stop and think what that i pally means? To lovo and lb honor, some of yon married men and women stop and think before you plungq still deeper into the corruptive elements that now sui round you. Hemcmber, that beforo God and man you swore "lo Ioyc. honor and obey" each other; arc yon doing it? If not, you shall answer for your disregatd of heavenly injunction on the day of judgment when all tilings are made known. The Advocate said a few weeks ago that "tho near high llcenso law was being stringently enforced." I beg to raise 'ex ceptions, however, for but a few Sunday's ago a number of individuals raised- high carnival In tho grovo along the Lehigh riv er by swilling lager beer from morn till night. If this is obedience to tho new law then I am mistaken in its context. Sun day evening a half dozen Individuals more or less under tho Influence of liquor found their staggering way along Hank street. Is this not an Indication that a screw Is loose? OnsmiYKit. Mauch Chmik and their Umpire Boatcn. The Mauch Chunk " crack nine " re, celved probably its worst defeat of th sea sou at the hands of the Lehighton Club on tho hitter's ground, and had it not been for two passed balls by Hiinkman and the shameful decisions of the umpire, some ol which wero very original, they would haye scored nothing but " gooso eggs," Tho Visitors camo down with tho Intention of giylng our team points on the national game, but were sent luimo with " point ers." 1 hoy were the most uncivilized lot of players that ever crossed bats with otp- nine, and had they cut up their freaks In many a town as they did hero, they would havo been sent homo with sore heads. Tho game was closely contested In the llrst five Innings, but after that the Lehigh- touians had tilings their own way, nnd In the seventh Inning tho .visitors got rattled and let their opponents scorn nine runs. fho features of the game were tho effective pitching by Helcliard, tho good support of Hrinkman behind the bat, tho daring base running of tha home team, difficult fly catches by Spoonheiuier, Gardner and F.

Thejiion are very favorably impressed with tho Idea of having tho cash moro frequently. This may necessitate more labor for tho cler ical force, but It does away with tho store orders, doctor's fees, nnd other collections made through tho ofllce. It stands to rea son that parties can purchase at cheaper rates for cash than by means of tho credit system,-ami wo hellovo the now law will materially help the merchant and employe, as many nail debtc were made foimerly which could never be collected.
