They sat In tbe sun together,
Till tbe day was almost done,
' And then, at Its close, an angel
Stepped over tbo threshold atone.
He folded their bands together,
He touched their eyelids wltb balm,
And their last breath floated upward
Like tbe close of a solemn psalm
Like a bridal pair they traversed
The unseen, mystical road,
That leads to tbe Beautiful City,
Whose Builder and Maker is God.
Perhaps, In that miracle country,
They will give her lost youth back,
Aod the flowers of a vanished spring
time. Shall bloom In the spirit's track.
One draught of the living waters
Shall reslor his manhood's prime,
Aod eternal years shall measure
Tbe love that outlives time.
But the shapes tbey left behind them
Tbe wrinkles and silver hair
Made sacred to us by the kisses
Tbe angel Imprinted there
We'll hide away in the meadow,
When tbe sun is low In tbe West,
Where the moonbeams oannol Hod them,
Nor tbe wind disturb their rest.
But we'll let no tell-tale tombstone,
With Its age and date, arise
O'er the two who are old no longer
In their Father's House in tbe skies.
Yesterday the Pelrolia Base Bali Club, of
Petroleum Centre, cleaned out the Oil
Stockings, of Franklin, at the latter place,
to the tune of 31 to 18-. We believe tbe
Oil Stockings is tbe olub that made so much
noise In tbe papers be saute tbe Mutuals, or
onto other crack amateurs didn't pay them
sufficieot'attentioo ( whereat tbe O. S. val
iantly concluded tbe Mutuals are afraid ol
tbem. Tbe Fetrolias never have blowed
their horns much through the papers and'
we presume don't profess to be any "great
shakes" at the willow. Tbey certainly
seem to be sufficient to gobble np all the
greasy lotegrimenta there are around. It
does not seem to insure home runs to have
one's stockings oiled afier all. Oil City

The Petrollas feel well satisfied wltb their
victory, wltb tbe exception that they bad
to walk up from Oil City during tbe pre
valance of the rain storm, laBt evening.
The return game will be played soon. .
We notice the genial phiz of our friend,
Mr. Frank Ripley, in town to-day. Frank's
oil Interests in the down river country keep
blm too busy to pay frequent visits to bis
old oamping grounds, consequently when be
does "put in an appearance" bis old friends
are glad to sea blm.
The return game of base ball, between
tbe Petrollas and Oil Stockings,, wilt ts
played at this place on Thursday next.
Next to your wife aod babies, tbe "sweet.

place to find it Is at tbe Petroleum Exchange
Hotel.. Dodge, tbe well known landlord of
tbis popular bouse, knows just the brand of
olgars that will suit tbe tastes of bis cus
tomers. He .has just reoeived another lot
of those choioe Cornucopia Cigars, as fine
a brand as are made. Call and try one.
To-morrow afternoon and evening, C. W,
Noyes' Crescent City CIrens will perform at
this place. Tbe company Is said to be one
of the beat that travels, and we predist for
thorn, a erowdad bouse. Among tbe list of
performers we notice tbe names of Miss Mil
lie Tumour, tbe Lee Family, Fred Barclay,
Eugene Martinez, and the funny old clown,
Dr. Jas. L. Thayer and his mules January

Two Pi thole damsels drove into town
yesterdsy lo a decidedly Inebriated condi

tbey got drunker still, and while driving up
Main street, the horse boame frightened at
the cars, kicked up, upset tbe carriage aod
dumped tbe damsels into tbe mod in a very
uopoetioal manner. Dutch Henry came to
the reaoue and relieved them Irom their
awkward position.

NOTES OF THE DAY-
Indlaua is congratulating itself upon tbo
discovery that there are more divorces every
year In Austria than in Indiana.
Tbe iron founders in Nova Scotia are, it
is reported, beginning to suspend operations
on account of the high price of iron.
A Leavenworth, Kansas, paper speaks of
Kansas City as a "right old fungus whose
territory is carpeted by three-ply mortgs
ges."
In New York, during tbo month of July,
176,700 persoos availed themselves ot the
free public baiba. Of tbe number, 137,611
were males, and 39,069 were females.
Tbe balance of trade Is disturbed in Wil
mington, N. C, by tbe fact that watermel
ons are only tbree cents apleoe, while ebol
era mixture Is half a dollar a bottle.
A new game bas been introduced In Bogs
land, called "Polo " It is similar lo all
respects to shinny or hookey, except that
the players are mounted on horseback.
A disgusting compound, used iu tbe ad
ulteration of butter,, made of fat obtained
from dead borses and ether refuse, Is sold
in London uudur tbe trade name of "bosb
butter."
Samuel Smiles, the author or "Self Help,"
is, It is announced, engaged lo wrllting bis
autobiography, for and at tbe request of the
Italians, amongst whom bis works were
largely circulated, by order of King Victor
Emanuel.
(A novelty in tbe way of "bops" has been
introduced in Boston. A ball at tbe South
End is now open every Friday evening for
"shirt ani pauts dancing parties," and the
attendance la confined to those of the mid
dle class who are disposed to behave them
selves. Tbere is nothing allowed that
would be considered improper in any ball In
the city, and tbe proprietor takes sensible
ground that If ladles consider themselves
dressed in "shirt waists" ibere is no reason
why "gents" should not appear In tbe same
cool apparel
Tbe following scale Is given by writers
on natural history as- tbe average duration
of animal life: A bare will live 10 years, a
cat 10, a goat 8, a sheep 10, a dog Irom 14
to 20, an ox 20, swine 25, a pigeon 8, a tur
tle dove 25, a partridge 25 at raven 100, an
eagle 100, a goose 100.
A new variety of cotton, of remarkable
productiveness, bas been developed by cul
tivation,. The squares and blooms grow in
clusters, and very thick. A very large pro
portion of tbe bolls are double; that is, two
bolls are produced from the same square.
This, tendency to doubling is exhibited
throughout the plant, and stalk and limbs or
many speolmens seem lo take on the same
characteristic.
An unaccountable bole In tbe ground was
recently discovered by a Missouri farmer..
He dug to the bottom, seventeen feet and
round an aerolite of solid metal of a smooth
surfaoe, spbeioldal in shape, and the size oft
twelve pound cannon ball.
Tbe freight business at Brady s Bend on
the A. V. Railway, has more than doubled
witbiotbe past four months, as It Is stated
by Mr. J. II. Soott, tbe station agent.
Tbree miles in advance of ialrvlew, on
the supposed line of tbe belt, land la held at
J f 300 per aero.

That fe'cltool Question Again.
1'itholk, August 10, 1872.
Editor Pktkgleum Centre Recoro:
In glancing over your Issue ol tbo 6tb lost.,
I noticed a letter signed "Clod Hopper,"
relating to tbe employment of a Janitor for
your Publlo School, and to tbe importance
of employing polite and courteous teacbers
for tbe Public Schools generally. I was
pleased with the tetter, but would respect
fully suggest that, Inasmuch as tbe funds
tequired to keep tbe schools open during
tbe proper term, are obtained directly from
the people.of each School District, and are
controlled by the School Pireotors, that a
better, more lasting, and uniform plan
would be for tbe Directors lo engage the
services of a Janitor requiring blm to light
tbe fires, dust off tbe benches, and sweep tbe
schoolroom at coven o'clock in tbe moroiog,
aulhorizlog'tbe teacberMo discbarge blm H
be failed to perform bis whole duty, and
paying blm one dollar per week lor tbe
same. This would induce early and regu
lar attendance of all concerned. Iran adult
Janitor can net be procured at that rate a
boy 15 or 16 yearsof age will armwer. The
Directors should visit tbe schools monthly
or oltjuer, if convenient for them.. Tbe
Directo ra have lull authority lo pay the
Jauitor and charge tbs same la their
accoun t against tbe Sobool District.
A School Tt acber should be a pojitei
affable, and dignified gentleman, in order to
leach good manners to bis scholars, which !
a very Important element In tbe education
of men and women. I have sometimes
been astonished at the 111 maaners exhibit.
ed lo a school rooox-M have seen scholars en
ter in a coarse, rough and noisy manner even
during school hours, and after dismissal of
tbe sobool. I have t en them rush to the
door,, tbe larger sob olars on account of tbe
apidity of the Ir movement, being foremost,
aod ir a small boy happening among them
should fall to the llooi woe to blm be was
ran over and trampled upon to the great
injury of bis- corporeal system. These
things should not be so. Where that kind
of disorder prevails and is continued with
out restraint,, until tbete boys become men
they will be disorderly at all meetings
which tbey may attendi Tbey will act
irreverently and impolitely, even during Di.
viue Service and after tbe dismissal of the
congregation wiil rush in baste from tbe
Church as tbey formerly did from the echoo1
room to the great annoyance and disgust o
well bred people. If the Teacher is-regular
aod orderly iu his habits and in tbe govern
ment of bis school, muob confusion will be
avoided.
