took to deliver a little over seventeen

one of his customers. The latter

was finally com promised by the coal
dealers fumisliing him a full ton of
coal and $30 to let the matter drop.
Moral don't cheat.
The following good advice we
glean from an exchange: "Girls, be
ware of transient young men. Never
fuller the addresses of a stranger;
recollect that a steady farmer boy, or a
mechanic is worth ail the floating
tnshiii the world. The allurements
of a dandy jack, with a gold chaiu
nlxmt his neck, and a walking stick
in his paw, some honest tailor's coat
on his back, and a brainless skull, can
never make up for the loss of a father's
house and good mother's counsel, and
the society of brothers and sisters;
their tilled Ion will last, while those of
a rich looking young niau arc lost in
the wane of the honeymoon."
Newspapers, says somebody, are
valuable to material prosperity. They
advertise tlie village, county or local
ity. They spread before the leaders a
map on which may be traced character,
design, progress. If a stranger calls
at a hotel ho first inquires for the vil
lage newspaper; if a friend comes
from a distance, the very first thing
sifter a family greeting inquires for
your village or county newspaper, and
you feel discomfUted if unable to find
a late copy, and confounded if you are
compelled to say you do not take it.
The newspaper Is just as necessary to
tit a man for his true position lu life
as food or raiment. Show us a ragged,
barefoot boy rather than an ignorant
one. His head will cover his feet in
lifter years If he is well supplied with
newspapers. Show us a child that Is
eager for newspapers. He will make
the man of mark iu after life if you
gratify that desire for knowledge,
Other things being equal, it is a rule
that never fails. Give the children
newspapers.

Dr. Theopllus Stewart Hartley, of
this place, breathed his last in the 43d
year of his life. He was born at Wool
rich, Canada. He graduated in medi
cine at theUnlversityof Bufluloin 1871
took the degree of B. A. at Victoria
College May 2, 1800; the degree of M.
A. at the same college May 0, 1880.
since 1870 he has practiced medicine
in Ridgway and was known not only
here but was extensively acquainted
in adjoining counties. The Sunday be
fore he died he sang at Mrs. Dan
Reeds funeral, and was only confined
to the house from Monday until his
death. Deceased was a member of
the Masonic order at this place, was a
member and President of the Irish
National Land League, and also a
member and President of the Equit
able Aid Union. The funeral services
were held lu the M. E. Church on
Sunday afternoon, Rev. S. M. Clark,
delivered the funeral sermon. The
church was crowded whilescores were
unable to gain admission. The re
mains were followed to their last place
by the largest number of people -ever
at a funeral in Ridgway. The exer
cises at the grave were by the Ma
sonic fraternity.

The Kansas method of winding up
tiie affairs of a broken bank by threat
ening to wind up the banker appears
at least to be very effective. Accord
ing to the face value of the assets
turned over by Danforth to his credit
ors to escape being hung, the deposit
ors In his bank will get back every
dollar they were supposed to have lost.
The Kansas method is not to be recom
mended, but there is this to be said iu
defence of it, that if the administra
tion of justice in all courts was as
prompt and certain as it ought to be,
nobody would think of resorting to
violent means to obtain the same
results.
A fearful explosion of nitro-glyeer-ine
occurred at one of Roberts Co.'s
magazine at Kin.ua Junction, twelve
miles from Bradford, on Monday, Dee.
5. About l.L'lo pounds of nitro-gly-cerine
wei;o in the magazine. The
earth trembled Ifcs if shaken by un
earthquakt. The forest, covering at
least three acres in the vicinity, was
laid low, and houses at Kin.uu nearly
shaken from their foundations. Win
dows were broken half a mile distant
A steel safe was blown into minute
fruuiuents. No one was injured. The
origin of the explosion is a mystery,
but is supposed to have been spontan
eous. The permanganate of potash is
inexpensive, and besides, is healthy,
as it is tlu; same stuff that is used to
disinfect. About two ounces of it,
mixed with water, is enough to stain
a good sized room. Don't get it on
your hands unless you wish to stain
them too. Put on a pair of old gloves.
Use a whitewashcr's brush without a
handle, of course, for the whole floor,
and a paint brush for the corners.
Mix the permanganate in a bucket of
water. When it is first applied it is a
bright crimson, but it Immediately
turns brown. After the first cor.t is
dry you can put on another until you
get the shade desired. When you are
satisfied leave it to harden for a day or
two, and then dissolve some beeswax
in turpentine and polish it over. A
few applications will give a line pol

As many usually devote the winter
after the holidays to the study of
Music, and as broad and through cul
ture is desired by the majority, we feel
that we are doing them a good favor
by calling their attention to the ad
vantages offered by the Pittsburgh
Conservatory. The Conservatory is
conducted on the plan of the best Con
servatories of Europe, and instruction
given iu Music, both as a Science and
an Art. Eleven accomplished teach
ers are employed, embracing men of
rare ability und experience, and
one hundredall It axons arc yivea for
eighteen dollars. Upwards of twenty
instruments are iu daily use, includ
ing "the largest and best (hand
Organs for educational purposes in
America " The Conservatory is con
nected with the Pittsburgh Female
College, aud music pupils can devote
spare time, if they desire to do so, and
at little additional expense, to solid
studies, or to elocution, drawing,
painting, modern languages, &c.
They also have the advantage of the
many couccrts, orators, &c-, given
each year in the city. For catalogue

What I Think About Temperance.
Temperance, and nothing hut tem
perance do we hear of hite, It in con
tinually ringing In or ears. Blue
ribbons are to be seen too on the col
lars of nearly every iimu and child we
meet.. It Is a good thing no doubt to
be temperate. It is undoubtedly on
excellent virtue, and i uni in favor of
lic cause. It is certainly good for
those whose appetite Is Insatiable once
they taste the soul-inspiring drug. I
never heretofore thought there were
so many of this class in Ridgway. I
never thought the ladles of our town
needed the restraining .influence of a
pledge. Too bad, there are so many
ladies and gentlemen ..whose appetite
for stimulating beverages is so. uu
nianagable as to require the curb! We
will henceforth, I am sure, have u
sober town. No more drunken men
and women. I believe temperance is
also good for some young men who
may be exposed to the danger of con
tracting the opposite vice. Our land
lords also prolit by it; the converted
bummers now pay as they go for fear
they may be exposed, liut the ques
tion arises in my mind, are we all
obliged to sign pledges? Must all be
bound to be temperate? Does the
Divine or human law oblige us to bo
absolutely temperate? I have read the
Scriptures from cover to cover, from
Genesis to the Apocalypse, and can
find the moderate uhh. of wine no
where condemned. On the contrary,
St. Paul tells us, "a little wine is good
for the stomach." 1 have never
found any obligation iu the hutii.-ui or
Divine laws to be totally temperate.
Does science condemn the use of
stimulant? Fur from it, on the con
trary, wiucasu restorative, us a means
of refreshment, where man has to
struggle witli days of trial and sor
row; us a means of correction anil
compensation where disproportion
occurs iu nutrition; und us it protec
tion against trunslcntorganic disturb
ances, is surpassed by no product of
nature or of art. Why then this con
tinual begging and urging (bordering
on compulsion iu many cases) of all
indiscriminately, young and old, to
bind themselves by u pledge? Muny
indeed know not the nature of the
obligation they are about to contract,
or have contracted. To many 1 be
lieve u pledge should not be given for
the simple reason that they are too
weak-wil.ed to persevere in its fulfil
ment. It is su serious an obligation
t hilt no man should bind himself by
it except ul'ter careful uiut cool dclib
erutiuH. It should then not be taken
iu a state of excitement. The length
of time for which a person binds him
self or herself shoull be expressly
understood, it should never be given
to children not having arrived at the
age of reason, for tliey understand
not the iititure of the obligation, and
to administer it to such Is mi outrage
on common Chriniiuu decency. How
many of the latter class have signed
the pledge of lute in Ridgway? While
1 admire the virtue and the motive
L believe they mean good) I must
condemn lliu modus operandi of our
late crusaders.
The though sometimes arises in my
mind, having constantly heard noth
ing but temperance lulcly, that it is all
that Christianity has to otter poor suf
fering humanity, th.it temperance is
iu fact Christianity, body aud soul,
root and branch. Are there uot other
virtues that would make up as bright
a gem iu a mortal's crown as temper
ance? Are there not other vices as
sin I ul and wicked as intemperance?
Why uot raise a crusade aguiiisl
blasphemy, iutidclity, divorce, and
immorality, which latter is for a well
known fact, sapping the very iil'u's
blood of society aud tilling our lunatic
asylums with inmates. 1 make this
assertion above board, aud without
fear of contradiction, with great profit
too, there might be a crusade raised
against injustice, and probably we
would not have so many bank robber
ies, &c, by which thousands of poor,
industrious people, are swindled out of
their hard-eurued savings. A great
many of those who have defrauded
the poor by downright robbery were
high up in some good temperance
christian union.
As long as a man is uot deprived of
his memory, will or understanding he
may drink all he pleases aud never
violate the laws of God. A'o so with
other vices. The slightest act of
blasphemy, of injustice, of immorality
or infidelity to marriage vows, Ac,
&c, is a direct sin against Ood, and in
many instances so grave that it cries
to Heaven for vengeance. Why not
raise a crusade against those vices.
Witness the number of applications
for divorce ail over the country, on ac
count of, in most cases, infidelity to
marriage vows, and this too, by par
ties pretending to be christians, mem
hers of some good church, and prob
ably temperate people, wearing blue
ribbons, who would send a man to
perdition for taking u glass of beer.
This looks a little 2harisalcul to say
the least. Towns and cities rotten to
the core with other vices and no cru
sude ugainst them. Intemperance,
though a very wicked sin, has never
brought a curse from God on the
whole human family, but immorality
lias, as iu the case of the destruction
of the cities of Sodom ami Uomoruh.
It often seems to me thai; this temper
ance move Is gotten ilp for worldly
motives because the vice Interferes
with worldly happiness and not be
cause it is offensive to God. Hope I
am mistaken, liut I generally hear
of the misery brought on by intem
perance, and seldom of the offense or
injury done to God. If the motive be
domestic happiness and uot glory and
honor of God,,then it is not Christian
ity, but inuterialism. The preacher
too makes the price of his bitters out
of the movement, and iu a few years
retires from business, its post experi
ence shows. . .
With due respect for Major Scott,
who I think is a gentleman aud means
well, I cannot refrain from asking,
Have we not good christian ministers
In our town that have been tried in
the Held and found faithful, that can
preach temperance aud all other
christian virtues? Are these minis
ters not capable of teaching us our
religious duties without importing n
layman and a stranger. I find In the
good book that no man can preach
except properly and lawfully sent and
that women especially were positively
told by St. Paul to be silent In church.
Rut readers I do not wish to be mis
represented. I am in favor of temper'
ance In many cases, as I have shown
In the commencement of this article.
I nni strongly opposed, from a relig
ious standpoint, to getting up excite
ments and urging and begging all to
Join without proper deliberation.
I would say in conclusion, that if
we teach our children, aud all others
under our care or Influence, the prin
ciples of morality aud justice, &c; If
we teach them to have a conscience
by Instructing them in the belief ofa
future state of reward and punish
ment; In a word, if wc tench them
Christianity as taught by the Savior
and contained In the good book, we
shall have little trouble iu making our
rising generation temperate, if not
teetotalers, aud in every sense virtuous.
To u man having no faith or belief in
the teaching of Christianity, it is a
mockery to give a pledge, for he has
no conscience, and therefore will not
keep it. For these reasons I am op
imsed to these temperance movements,
where pledges are indiscriminately
administered to young and old, chris
tian and infidel, &c. Such a proce
dure is an injury aud insult to religion
and can therefore result In no good,
us time will prove aud experience lias
proved. C. C.
