general use jiow in nearly every country on the face of the

knowledged by "all to be the best proportioned, best ironed,
best finished, and lightest running wagon made. I present a
few facts that should be read by every farmer, about the Mitch
ell Wagon?
1st. Great care is taken in
that srows. which is cnt at the
piled under sheds until thoroughly seasoned. 2. The thimble
skeins are much heavier than any other skeins in use and are,
therefore, less liable to break. 3. The hubs are dodge-mortis
ed, which makes the strongest
can be constructed. 4. The patent box-coupling, used only by
this Company, prevents the wearing and weakening of the
axle. 5. The MITCHELL WAGON stands to-day at the
bead and front of all competitors, and is known far and wide
as the strongest and most durable, unequaled in quality and
finish, and "monarch" of the road whererer known and used.

A VERY MCE PAIR.
Miss Soneie set one slipper tip up
on the fender's tnipe and leaned her
bronze curls aeainst the mantel.
She had noted the elongation of her
a-nests aristocratic visafce, then turn
ed to watch the coals Hare tnl pale
between the bare of the (irate.
"Do vou mean everything? gapp
ed Mrs. Deane. "Lost everytning?
Oh, mj wardrobe and some jew
elry will be ltft, probably. I am
sorry to part with the library."
Library ! 1 ou eveva not at ail to
realize your situation."
"Oh, yes, 1 realize overruling.
said the girl, careleselv. "After Bell
ing the house and all this" indi
cating by a nonchalant motion her
luxurious snrroBiidings "there will
be enough to settle my accounts and
rent a country house somewhere."
My dear girl, what will you do,
with your delicate, fastidious train
ing, in a country bouse ?'
Bury it and tram myselt better.
I cooked breakfast this morning to
begin."
Mrs. Deane arched her fine brows
in patrician protest
Bat your sister, Mrs. irenton;
surely she might provide for you ?"
"Poor Nellie!" eaui Sousie. ""She
has lost too. We will creep into ob
scurity together."
"Oh, don't mention obscurity,''
with a graceful motion that seemed
to obliterate the disagreeable word.
"You have so many friends they
would miss you so much."
"True," said Sousie, "but they
might find me embarrassing in a cal
ico dress and soliciting employment'
"Then you ha7e planned" faltered
her gnest, "how yon are to to live?"
"Minus servants, salmon and silk"
with a light laugh. "Fortunately
we haxe moderate appetites, and for
necessaries I can decorate plaques or
something."
Mrs. Deane rose. There was a
faint jingle'from the jet fringe on her
velvet dress. The diamonds in her
ears twinkled oppressively. She
sent a speculative glance around the
room.
"If you really contemplate a sale
of all your pretty trifles, I willsssist
in purchasicg."
"How good you are !" said Miss
Sousie, with beautiful sarcasm in
her eves.
"And you paint so sweetly, no
doubt you will find an easy career as
an artiot I hall be charmed to in
troduce my friends when they have
orders."
"How good jou are!" repeated
the girl.
' Good bye. I am so sorry you
are going away from us into the
country."
Then Mrs. Deane withdrew the
velvet and jet and diamonds.
"Well?" came merrily from an
ante-room. "How did she bear it ?
Did she weep and say, 'Entreat me
not to leave thee?'", Did she beg to he
your sister and mother-in-law and !
banker?"
"We could go to strawberry .hill
to-morrow. Nellie." said Sousie, with
her eyes on lire again. -
"We could embark for Feejee
land to-aioirow, but whether we will
ay, there is the rub 1" And Mrs.
Nellie came in and knelt to rake the
fire. - .
"It is untenanted this year, and in
tolerable repair," continued Sousie,
musingly. i
"I remember spending a week in
that fair cottage once, two years
ago," said Ma Nellie aa she sat do wn
on her heels and rattled the poker
upon the fender reflectively. Twas
in a bleak December ; the walls
loomed ont of mist and persimmon
trees; within, the doors creaked, the
ceilings were stunted, the windows
shook as with continual age, the
fireplaces yawned for and howled
for woodland it was given them in
cords of hickory, pine and oak ; but
soon it was ail no more, and yet
warmth came not except in flashes
upon my phiz."
"Yes," admitted Sousie, compla
cently. ""It is the poorest respecta
ble place I can think ot
"Why not find cheap boarding?"
"But what dreadful people we
might meet ' ' '
"Well, we can have curtains and
one stove I suppose," said Mrs. Nel
lie, with a sigh cf surrender.
"In the kitchen, yes : and we will
, go to-morrow, please. I do not want
to meet everyone.
Every one, defined, any one
some one him. I always was

SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY.
i bright at grammar," said the pretty
'little widow, -demurely.
i "I eotifesa only this, I am afraid of
i betarraingcyaical," said Sousie, with
'afeaddeB gfow on her face. j
Mrt. Nellie plunged her poker
deep in the coals and looked serious.
"Have yoo no faith in every
one?' she asked.
"To-night will show if it is desert
ed.w said Sousie, turning away.
"la that quite fair? Mrs. Deane
mry not impart her news at once, or
be may not be at nome.
"He was to call to-night
"Oh h hr
Mrs. Nellie looked wise.
1 did not want to wait until "
- "I quite understand, and I shall
dress for dinner instead of packing
for a mythical journey," said the fire
disturber, filling the pause blandly.
Bnt a servant arrived with a mass
of violets and a note. Miss Sousie
read with h"! very erect, and a
proad ciiif ,pened on her lips:
MiS9 Dt frr Let these, your ia
vorite flowesf,i;remkd yon of one
most unwillingly absent I am call
ed away on - business, and cannot
hope to see you to-night j
TToure iannraiiy,
u ' Robert Deane."
. The paper fell to Mrs. Nellie's
knees, and she rested the red hot
uoker azainst her drees while she
perused it,
. "Of course she told him at once,
and truly a wise son maketh a glad
stepmother," said Sousie.
: V ell " said Mrs ellie when tne
oker bad created some excitement
nd found a safer stand, "the hegira
must be, I suppose; but, " and sne
looked earnestly into the proud,pale
face opposite, but, my Lady Doubt
ful, - there is some mistake. Not
withstanding Mr. Deane is a true
man, true as a sunflower."
a .
Strawberry Hill was a dreary view
for a rainy day. The strawberry
tint was minus even in the sunset
There were gray clouds, gray walls,
gray fields. Miss Sousie watched
the dnp, drip down tne windows
gloomily. She was close beside the
fire and well wrapped in shawls
draped cap-a-pie.
Mrs. Nellie was beatiDg a tattoo
on the small centre table.
"Well, do you think this will do ?"
she inquired. "Two weeks of this
style in tragedy is a fine experience,
ot course ; but in time one might
have to be buried under the monot
ony. We have enjoyed smoke, po
tatoes and rain, rain, k potatoes and
smoke, and "
A rush of smoke poured from the
chimney, following a gust of wind
that made the windows seem all
rattle aad draught
"When cot ship comes in, there
shall be no smoky chimneys, no enr-
uiciess winuowg, - no oeersieasiess'
breakfasts, and no false lovers in
all the world," said Mrs. Nell.
And we will make a little para
dise of Strawberry Hill, and find
some poor young couple who have
ventured on a life of poverty togeth
er because they love each other, and
we it give them the place and pay
their taxes, y said Sousie, enthusias
tically. '
"We'll select a girl who rejected a
millionaire for a poor man. By the
by, would she be hard to find, do
you think ? Imagine a girl in a mis
erable home, ard no hope of any
thing except our wealthy suitor
how powerful he would be! Still he
would be ratLer an incumbrance af
terward," said Nellie.
"Not compared with scanty meals
and clothes and abundant house
work. Love is ranch but money is
everything. Not money, itself, you
know no woman is a miser but
its highest result And such a step
need cot be supremely selfish ; there
would be his happiness to consider,"
said Sousie.
"He would be very happy when
be guessed the situation," said Mrs.
Nell, sarcastically.
"He need not know."
Then the small cook interrupted.
"There's a gentleman in the hall."
"It's Uncle Jack," asserted Sousie
confidently. "Bring him in Nellie.
Aud she knelt to stir the log into a
brighter blaze.
But it was Robert Deane who en
tered. "How wet you are," cried Nellie,
while her sister rose dumbly. "And
Low long you have been remember
ing us."
"I've not forgotten anything, and
only got home this morning," said
Robert, with a rare smile.
"And you had not beard before !"
cried Nel.ie quickly
"Not a word."
Sousie flushed to tho roots of her
hair and then burst into tears.
"If you will take offynur overcoat
1 li take it to the kitchen to dry,
said Nellie demurely.
a a a '
i bough Mrs. Nellie made an oc
casional grimance of protest, the sit
tere liogered at Strawberry IlilL
"One can be not rich without a&
tualsufiering," Miss Sousie had de
cided ; and some comforts crept into
the cottage. . ;
Returning from a call on Uncle
Jack one day, Miss Sousie's eyes and
cheeks were unusually brilliant Mr.
Deane looked inquisitive , when he
called.
"I have htd a fortune given me,
was the answer to his glance.
"Yes," said Robert
. "And I am very proud of it
"Proud oi it?"
"It was so . generous. 1 be giver
could not have done more u be lor
ed me with all his heart"
"Perhaps he does."
"He gives- me twenty thousand
dollars, that I may do what do yoo
think, Sir Robert"
the stood beside mm with one
little band on the arm of his chair,
and there were tears in her shining
eves.
' "How could I guess?" said Robert
That I may marry only a man I
"And will that seed me away?"'
asked Robert huskily,
She put her Lands together and
lauehed softly.
"Will you make confession, Sir
Robert? Then you may question."
"You know then?" with a quick
flush. -
"Yon overheard Nell and me that
day," in a low tone, and would have
AUGUST 26, 1S85.
gone home in disgust only I I cried
"Wait if you please. I will tell it
myself," said , Robert, catching the
little hands on their way to hide her
face. ."That day I hardly thought
of all ot what you said. I was so re
joiced at the prospect of seeing you
again; and when you cried I think
I was the happiest fellow in the
world. But afterward that 'money
is everything haunted me. At last
I sept a lawyer to your guardian.
How he came to guess and then be
mean enough to betray me "
"Of course he never guessed any
thing," said Sousie, scornfully. "I
guessed." -
"Well shall you decline the gift
or accept the condition ?" asked Rob
ert laughing.
Those tears in ber eyes had been
wonderfully reassuring.
"I would like to know how you
came by that twenty thousand ?"
Miss Sousie said.
Roberts eyes widened.
"You did not know that I was
rich?" , .
"I thought you were your cousin's
clerk?"
His partner, and first in the
firm."
Miss Sousie gave a little gasp and
looked at the curtains.. . Robert lean
ed toward her with attentive eyes.
"lou thought me a presumptu
oua fortune hunter, then, when I
did not come?''
she blushed tunously, then miv
chievous dimples came about her
lips. ...
"We will not say. much about
what any one has been thinking,"
she said, "or Mr. Deane s conscience
might be uncomfortable."
Mr. Deane looked alert.
"Do you know," be said rising
with sudden excitement "I believe
you have not lost a single cent"
"Ob, yes, I threw a dollar from the
window expressly," said Sousie, her
voice quivering with laughter.
"So" from Mrs- Trenton on the
threshold "the drama is over. May
the next contain less doubt and more
comfort Will you walk into sup

dawning of reason, and continues
Uhtil the child goes out lroni under
the influence of its mother. Nor is
there any subject upon which such
erroneous ideas are popularly enter

act ib to tench the helpless ibiant to
talk in language as foreign to the

If left to itself the child might have
a chance of being able some dy to

as a consequence two or three years
of its life must be spent ic unlearn

This fear it carries with it throffgh
life in many cases, and instead of
being an honest fearless, noble man,
the child bnt too often grows up in
to a shrinking, cringing creature,
compelled by his own fears to resort
to practices that are first unmanly,

not the man's fault that he sinks

the fault of those who first educated

But worse than all, these deceptions
of the child teach him to underval

Write raw Tsar local Paper
There is no more effectual and en
joyable means by which young peo
ple can store their minds with prac
tical knowledge and gain the power
of giving expression to what they
know than writing for the press. In
writing for bis or her local paper the
young student cultivates the power
of observation. Do not think that
your literary career is in writing
elaborate articles for the magazines
or popular literary journals. Write
for your local paper or some other
paper in your neighborhood or coun
ty that has some literary character,
giving the new of your vicinity in
the plainest language yon can com
mand. Keep on writing lor that
paper. As a - regular correspondent
you will be furnished with the nec
essary stationery, or the postage at
least will be paid by the publishers
and one or several copies will be
furnished -you. Accidents, fires,
deaths, marriages, charities, are not
the only-nerghborhood -happenings
that are worthy of being recorded.
The close observer becomes the suc
cessful writer. There are many
things which when properly record
ed, are of deep interest though the
careless person scarcely notices
them. " He who can write neighbor
hood news and hanneninf a in nlam.
gtyle, without any nnneces-
gary words, has a oeautitnl accom

A Beawttfal Oriental Parable.
One of the most beautiful stories
in Oriental, or perhaps in any litera
ture, whereby we are taught that no
human creature is exempt from
affliction and sorrow, is told in the
life of Gautama, the founder of the
Buddhist religion. There was a
young woman, the story runs, who
had married early, an is the cop torn
in the East, and bad a child while
she was still a girl. When the beau
tiful boy could run alone he
died. Her sorrow for a time de-
!) rived her of her reason ; and in her
ove for the dead child she carried
it from house to house of her pity
ing friends, asking them to give ber
medicine for it Buddhist convert
thinking "she does not understand."
said to her: "My good girl, I my
sell have no medicine sucn as you
ask for; but 1 know of one who has
"Oh, tell me who that is?" cried
thegirL
' "The Buddha can give you medi
cine; go to him," was the answer.
She went to Gautama; and doing
homage to him, said, "Lord and
master, do you know ot any medi
cine that will be good for my
child ?"
Yes, I know of some," said the
teacher.
Now it was the custom for patients
of friends to provide the herbs which
the doctors required ; so she asked
what herbs he would want
"I want some mustard seed," he
said, and when the poor girl eagerly
promised to bring some of so com
mon a drug, he added : "You must
get it from some house where bo
son, or husband, or parent has
died."
"Very good," she said, and went
to aek for it still carrying her dead
child with her. The people said :
"Here is mustard seed take it:'
but when she asked: "In my friend's
house ha any son died, or a hus
band, or a parent or a slave?" they
answered :"Ladv, what is this that
you say? The living are few but the
dead are many." Then she went to
other houses ; but or.e said : "I have
lost a son," another, "I have lost a
slave. At last not beirs able to
find a single house where no one
had died, her mind began to cLar,
and summoning up her resolution.
she left the dead body of her child
in the forest, and returning to the
Buddha, paid him homage.
He said to her : "Have vou the
mustard seed??'
My Lord," she replied, "I have
not. The peoiIe told me that the
living are few, but the dead are
many.
Then he talked to her on the lm-
permancy of all things, pointing out
to the poor girl how , the affliction
from which she was suffering was
not peculiar to her, but was com
mon to all her fellow creatures, till
her doubts were cleared away. She
accepted her lot and became a dis
ciple.
Silent and Superb Contempt.
Sooner or later a lie is always
exploded. Take the case of Gener
al Grant When he began to rise
in the array his envious rivals cir
culated the report that he was
coarse, illiterate, and a drunkard.
President Lincoln gave a Quietus to
the charge of drunkenness. But the
notable part of the business is that
Grant without replying to a single
slander or invention managed in the
course of his career to completely
vindicate himself. He never said.
I am not a drunkard." but lived
so as to show all the world that he
was a sober man. He never denied
that Lawlins and others wrote all
his letters and dispatches, but let the
public gradually discover the factt".

lic reople woo credited him with
no literary ability, found out during
the last year of the General's life
that he resembled Ctesar in the
ability to handle the pen as well as
the sword. The wonder is not
that these falsehoods were all
exposed, but that the silent and
superb contempt with which Grant
treated them should have trium
phantly refuted them all. There is
a lesson to be learned from the life
of this silent and patient man. No
man can be talked or written down

The Xejrro Problem.

force the legitimate results of the
war and of enfranchisement? This
is a very large question, and cannot
be discussed in my limits. If I were
to say what my impression is, it
would be about this:
The South is about as much per
plexed by the negro problem as the
North i., and is very much disposea
to await developments, and to let
time solve it One thing, however,
must be admitted in all this discus
sion. The Southerners wilLuot per
mit such Legislatures as those as
sembled once Louisiana and South
Carolina to rule them again. "Will
you disfranchise the blacks by man
agement or by force?" "Well, what
would you do in Ohio or in Connec
ticut? Would you be ruled by a
lot of ignorant field hands allied
with a gang of plunderers?"
In lookinz at thn question from a
Northern point of view we have to
keep in mind two things: first the
Federal government imposed color
ed suffrage without any educational
qualification a hazardous experi
ment ; in the second place, it has
handed oyer the control of the col
ored people in each State to the
fctate, under the Constitution, as
completely in Louisiana as in New
York. The responsibility is on
Louisiana, ice North can not re
lieve her of it, and it cannot inter
fere, except by ways provided in
the Constitution. In the South,
where lear of a legislative domina
tion has gone, the feeling between
the two races is that of amitr and
mutual help. This is, I think, es
pecially true in Louisiana. The
Southerners never have forgotten the
loyalty of the slaves during the war,
and the security in which the white
families dwelt in the midst of a
black population while all the white
men were absent in the field ; tl;ey
ofien refer to this. It touches with
tenderness the new relation of the
races. I think there is generally io
the South a feeling of good-will to
ward the negroes, and an earnest
ie.-ire that they should develop
into true manhood and womanhood.
Undeniably there is indifference and
neglect and some remaining suspi
cion about the schools '.hat North
ern charity has organized for the
negroes. As to this neglect of the
negro, two things are to be s;tid : the
whole subject of education (as) we
have understood it in the North is
comparative r.ew in the South ; and
the necessity of earning a living
since the war has distracted atten
tion from it But the general devel
opment of education is quite as ad
vanced as could be expected. The
thoughtful and the leaders of opin
ion are fully alive to the fact that the
mass of the people niut be educat
ed, and that the only settlement of
the negro problem is in the education
of the negro, intellectually and
morally. They go further than
this. They say that for the South
to hold its own since the negro is
there and will stay there, and is the
majority of the laboring class it is
necessary that the great agricultur
al mttsti of unsklled labor should
be transformed, to a great extent in
to a class of skilled labor, skilled on
the farm, in shops, in factories, and
that the South must have a highly
diversified industry. To this end
they want industrial as well as or
dinary or-hools for the colored peo
ple. Harper' Mayazine fur S- jt.
Johnny akae a Trout Picnic.
The famous fish picnic which
John Skae, the former millionaire.
gave at the reservoir of the v irginia
and Gold Hill Company one day
when he was on the crest of the
wave of prosperity wa3 a queer frol
ic. Every Cornstocker of any im
portance at all was invited, and
there was champagne for every one
that wanted it. The reservoir is a
mile or two back of Virginia City,
in the hills, and is reached by the
old Ophir road, which winds along
the mountain sids Washoeward
like a red serpewt Every guest did
his own fishiiig, and did it without
hooks. The reservoir was stocked
with eastern trout, the little fellows
showing black and red spots ot. their
backs and sides. They were, and
are to thi3 day, very numerous and
surprisingly tame. A handful of
crumbs thrown is to the water will
bring hundreds of them rushing to
the surface toward the food. The
poles furnished Skae's guests were
laths ; the lines, bits of twine about
two feet long. At the end of each
line a piece of tough beef, the size
of a hickory nut wa3 firmly tied.
The instant the beef struck the wa
ter scores of trout made for it and
the angler would jerk them ashore by
their own teeth before they could
let go. The privilege of fishing in
the reservoir is sparingly granted,
for any one armed with this simple
tickle can, at any time, land a doz
en in three minutes. Hundreds of
pounds of trout were caught by
Skae's party and cooked on the
spot

Baking beets. One of the most
satisfactory ways to cook beets is to
bake them. When boiled, even if
their jackets are left on, a great deal
of the best part of the beet is dissolv
ed, and so lost ; it will of course, take
a little longer to bake them, but this
is bo objection. Allow them fifteen

The early settlera of the Plymouth
Colony were greatly addicted to
smoking, which practice subsequent
ly became so common that the weed
was smoked in church daring service-
This custom, it seems, soon
caused considerable annoyance, as
he exercises were greatly disturbed
by the clicking of flint and steel to
light their pipes, and clouds of
smoke in the church. Hence, in
176'-), the colony passed this law:
"It is enacted that any person or
persons tbat shall be found smoking
on the Lord's Day, going to or com
ing from meetings, within two miles
of the meeting house, shall pay
twelve pence for every such fault
Under this law were fined Richard

smoking tobacco at the end of the
