SOMERSET - - Pa omei S01MERSET, PA., ON THE OTHER SIDE. We go our ways In life too much alone. We bold ourselves too fur from all our kind; Too often we are dead to sigh and moan. Too often to the weak and helpless blind; Too often where distress and want abide We turn and pass upon tbe other side. The other side is trodden smooth and worn By footsteps passing idly all the day; Where lie the bruised ones that faint and mourn Is seldom more than an untrodden way. Our selftMb hearts are for our feet the guide They lead us by opon the other side. It should be ours the oil and wine to pour Into Uie bleeding wounds of stricken ones; To take the smitten and Uie sick and sore Aud bear them where a stream of blowing runs. Instead we look about the way is wide A nd so we pass UMn the other side. O friends aud brothers, gliding down the years, Humanity is calling each and all In lender accents, liorn of grief and tears! I pray you, listen to the thrilling cull! You cannot, in your cold and selfish pride, PaK guiltlesxly upon the ot her side. Buffalo .Vrr. INFATUATED JITH A WIG. I have sometimes felt that I was con stant ! the merest chance, and as my marriage has turned out happily, I am grateful for the interposition, though taking no credit to myself. I ought to say that I never told t'.iis story to my wife, aud she would lie scarcely likely to appreciate it if I did, but I mean to set the truth down here, though I shall not give the real names. I will call myself George Grey and my wife I will call Amy, nee Ferrers. Well, I was engaged to Miss Ferrers, and I loved her passionately, the more jiassionately perhai because my posi tion held out no prospect of my mak ing her Mrs. George Grey for many years. She was the second daughter of a rector In the shires, and I had met her when I was in the neighborhood, fish ing. An acquaintance took me to the house, and it was a very pleasant one. The rector was a charming man; his daughters were worthy of him, and as to Am', she was the loveliest and sweetest girl I had ever seen in my life. I stayed down in Threogates (fish injr) for nearly a month, though I had originally intended to limit my visit to a week, and I think that Amy was sorry when at last I told her I had de cided to go. "I shall never forget this holiday of mine." I said : "but now I must bring it to an end, and get back to the dust and crime of the Temple. Stewing in chamber. I shall often think of Three- gates, and the trout stream and and my friends." I'nconsciously, I ppoke as if I were returning to a legal treadmill, though if I received a couple briefs a year I held myself extremely fortunate. "I am clad you found It so enjoya- able,"she murmured. "It Is a pretty place, I think." She had never looked so beautiful ; I was saying "good-bye" to her; and I was twenty-five. The result might have been foreseen ! I took her hands in mine, daffodils and all, and told her that I loved her, that, I had never loved before, could never love again. I cried to her that I had not the right to ask any girl to become my wife, but my passion was stronger than my self-restraint She was my world, my all ; I adored her! Life without her was too awful to contemplate. Would she, could she, reconcile herself to waitinc for a beggar who to-day, could offer her nothing but the wildest de votion that had ever lieen laid at a woman's feet? Words, altogether unpremeditated, broke from nte in a torrent of fervor. Mv heart pounded furiously; my excite ment seemed even to communicate itself to the rooks among the boughs overhead, which cawed so violently that they appeared to be drowning my speech! When I ceased, her head drooped, and my darling was all smiles and tears at once. The daffdils lay scattered on the lawn, and, I was en gaged ! Well, I postponed my departure for three days, and those days were de lightful. Her father least mercena ry of men consented cordially. We were both young enough to be able to afford to wait be said, and I was adopted as one of the family with out demur. The girls were warm in congratulations no fellow ever had nicer sisters-in-law and Amy was the divinest little fiancee that it was pos sible for human imagination to con ceive. Yes, those three days wer- the weeks that followed, when I wrote and received a love letter per diem, and it wm only as the weeks merged into months, and the months into a j-ear, that I legan to ak myself when and how I expected to be able to marry. I was depressed by degrees. My prospects, as I have said were of the vaguest I was still doing nothing to speak of at the Bar, and even when I ran down to see Amy, and she did her best to cheer me up, the futility of her encouragement was not to be blinded by a man rsTsseased of a tolerably clear sight "We must be patient George," she would sav: "everything will come out right in the end, I am sure of it ; and when the briefs are rolling in, we shall look back at all this time and laugh." At lencth I decided to do what many another young fellow has done simi larly circumstanced. I resolved to con sign my profession to the deuce, and to seek pastures new in America. hat I proposed should beiuy plan or cam paign in America is at this date not very clear to me, but I remember that it seemed to me then a most desirable and practical step to take and not even Micawber departing for Australia felt more eonfident of "something turning ud" on the foreign shore than I. Of course, Amy wept, and was deso late, but we had been engaged now for nearly three years, and firmly, and with the business-like lucidity on which I prided myself I reminded myself most strongly of theMicaw bers in introspection ! I showed her it was the only course for us. I said that England I called it "the old country" already was played out In the United States, I olserved, energy and youth had a chance of coming to the front To cling to a sinking ship aset ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1895. the "sinking ship" was the Bar was a cowardly and disastrous thing, I declared ; and finally I (minted a picture of my rising to dfctzy heights in the United States, and her coming across to meet me In twelve months' time to be my wife. The picture of making her home in the United States did not seem to at tract her, so I altered that part and in the amended version I returned after twelve months, with my pile in my pocket, and we settled in London. Beside Amy and her p?opIe(who regarded me as a perfect hero, and gave me keepsakes, to think of them in the distant land) the only person to whom it was necessary to announce my intention was a maiden aunt of mine, who lived in Dorking. She told me frankly that I was a fool. As she looked at me with a certain admira tion, however, I was inclined to think that in her heart of hearts she was not without a sentiment of approval for my action, aud I was firm once more, and reiterateSl the arguments with which I had favored Amy. My relative gave me an excellent lunch, and after wishing her an affec tionate farewell, for she had always been very nice to me, I went Itack to town, aud commenced iny preiara tions. My furniture, consisting of a desk, an arm chair aud a few dilapidated ar ticles which Hbrgot, I disposed of "at a sacrifice."! ordered a couple of suits of clothes clothes I understood were dear in America and I tiooked a pit-wage on the lermania. Having put my affairs in order and receiving, to my surprise, a letter from Dorking repeating that I was a fool, aud enclosing a check for fifty, I paid alast visit to Threegates, folded Amy in my arms and sailed. I enjoyed the voyage immensely. We had fine weather, sociable people on board, and I was exhilarated by a consciousness that I was doing a noble and resolute thing. I smoked my pipe with satisfaction and looked at the ocean in the moonlight, and Amy's photograph, with pleasurable senti mentality. So much for the trip. I arrived in New York with, the liest part of a hundred jntunds in my purse thanks to my aunt's lilierality and I went to a hotel, and thence removed to a comfortable boarding house in or der to give myself time to look around. No immediate prospect of making a very large fortune presented itself, and my money dwindled rapidly. When I had been in New York a few ! months I was glad to forget my anxiety in reading. I learned that there was an admira ble public library near by the public libraries of America are better than ours and one day I strolled in thereto see what of the newest English fiction I could prH'ure. It was a huge building, and in the upstairs room t which I was directed j I found the attendants were all young women. The liook I had aked for was "out," but I was supplied with another. I read it and returned it the following afternoon, when the liook I most desir ed was "out" again. This went on for a week I always missed it and I ex pressed my annoyance at last rather emphatically. As I was doing so my eyes fell on one of the girls liehind the counter, w ho rivited my attention in the most extraordinary manner for an engaged man. This girl I cannot find a prop er adjective to describe her, well she was iiecrless ! Her hair was positively of the most glorious color I had ever seen" on a woman ; there was a sou peon of color in it only a sou peon, though and it had a natural ripple in it all over", from the whiteness of her brow down to the base of her divine neck. Under this, imagine blue eyes, aud you will have an idea of what she looked like a veritable goddess ! She had heard my exclamation and moved forward with a smile. 'What is it you are asking for?" she asked. I told her. "Oh," she said, "you see it is a new book, and of course there is a demand for it I'll tell you what I'll do ; the next time it conies in I w ill save it for you." I thanked her cordially, and she proved as good as her word, for the following afternoon when I presented myself she nodded directly she saw me and held it up. 'I am awfully obliged !" I said. "That was really kind of you. Have you had it yourself?" "Yes." I changed my books every day now, always going to that part of the long counter where she was standing, and always admiring her more fervidly than before. I feasted my eyes on the girl. If I saw her full face, or in pro file, or if she had her Itack to me, she was still conspicuous, stately and en tirely adorable. I thought about her when I was at home I could not lan ish her from my memory. How this might have ended who shall say ? Did Amy's dynasty totter in the balance? I fear, sorely and tremendously I fear, that it did ; but it was restored in a bewildering, and even a disparaging fashion. ' Who can conceive my astonishment when, on entering the library one morning, I saw my divinity with her hair cut short cropped like a lxy'a ! I was staggered breathless. Momen tarily I had failed to recognize her, she was so painfully chanced. Gone those intoxicating ripples ! gone even the richness of color ! gone the queen liness of carriage ! "Why?" I gasped I could uot sup press the question "my dear young lady, why have you had your hair cut since yesterday ?" "I haven't," she said ; "it was cut six months ago when I was ill. What I have been wearing till it grew again was a wig." No ; I did not break down ; I even stammered a suitable commonplace, but the shock was horrible. I never returned to the library. And I married Amy yes ! I did not make a fortune in New York, but my aunt died very shortly afterwards, and it was found that she had bequeathed me the whole of her property a very comfortable one. I married Amy, and we are very happy together. Only sometimes I cannot help wondering if that other girl had been all I thought her, whether but then there was no such girl I was in love with a wig ! The Word Gentleman. From Harper's Baxar. There are two great defects in the working of the English theory that a gentleman must never, under any cir cumstances, have worked with his hands. The first is that it handicaps every one who has so worked, and makes it harder for him, even in the American sense, to lie a gentleman. People are very apt to be what is ex pected of them. Assume that a whole class will be clowns, and they are more likely to lie so; assume that they are to lie gentlemen, you remove half the obstacle to their success. Hence much of the flexibility of the American char acter. Its ready adaptation. Since it made no difference to anybody else that Whiltier had It-en in youth a far mer's boy in summer and in winter a shoemaker, it made no difference to him, ami nobody stopied to ask whether he had sustained in childhiaid the same refining iuthiciices with IiOiigffllow and Lowell. In New York, in Washington, one often en counters men who have in early life worked with their hands. In England these men would have carried for life the stamp of that exeriein,e some misplaced h, some Yorkshire burr, would have taniHil them forever. In America the corresponding drawbacks have lieen effaced and swept away. No doubt climate and temperament have something to do with this differ ence, but the recognized social theory has more. It grows largely out of the changed definition of the wonl "gen tleman." In America the changed definition has let down the liars. The word "gentleman" denotes a class that is henceforward accessible to merit. The other defect of the English standard is that it epetuates, even in side those who rank as gentlemen, a pertK'tual feudalism, a wholly artificial standard of social auliordiuation. This IasLs eved to the present time. In the autobiography of Anthony Trollopc there Ls an especial chapter on the question, "How a literary man should treat his social superiors" a chapter which is, to an American literary man, first ludicrous and ihen pathetic. Walter Beseant, in his "Fifty Years Ago," enumerated the list of eminent authors and scientists of the Victorian per'unl, aud pointed with pride to the fact that they had nothing to do with the Court of Victoria Now" that he has been knighted, he is descrila.-d as wearing his title with an exaltation that rather amuses his friends. Hut the crowning illustration of the curious attitude given by belated feudalism to the author Ls to be found in the lately published letters of Sir Walter Scott. They are delightful in all respects but one the absolute self-subordination, the personal prostration, with which he writes to every titled nonentity alKiut him. Men younger than him self, now utterly unknown to the world at large, were treated by this leading Scotch intellect of his day as if they conferred honor by letting him write to them; and the very grace and naturalness with which it is done shows how ingrain it is. Publicity. From Harper's Ilazar. Newspaper notoriety has a jieculiar charm for a large number of eople. The mere fact of seeing their names printed really printed in a real news papergives them a kind of satisfaction that they can not obtain in any other way. The love of newspaier notoriety seems to lie liorn In people. It is not acquired, for you fiud it in the young sters w hose age would permit them to have gotten no farther iu the vanities in this world than a faculty for swear ing. A newspaper reporter under stands this vanity of people I tetter than any one else, for he hato deal with it continually. And it would lie a very dull man who would not be able to turn it to his advantage very often. The other day a fond father who la- Isirs upon a daily newspaper of Pitts burg went home to find his young hopeful about to engage in a fist fight with a youngster of the neighUir liood. He did not stop to question the right or the wrong of the quarrel, for, his perception being naturally quick, he saw that his son's opponent had by far the advantage of his adversary in size and muscle. In fact, he saw that his son was in a fair way to be made to do the duty of a street sweeper. Of course it was his duty to top such a disgraceful proceeding as a street light especially under the circumstances mentioned. But his interfering with the would Ite fighters in no way ap peased the wrath or the thirst for gore of the large boy. For, as he moved away, the big fellow turned and said: "Never mind, Bill, I'll lick yer into a jelly when yer pop's not around." This made the parent a little anxious, as he knew that an onslaught meant a sure victory for the other side, and as he could not be around always to pro tect his son he took advantage of the knowledge of human nature which his profession had given him. A crowd of young boys had gathered around to see what they thought was going to be a fight, and as one of the antagonists, after being interfered with, walked away, their faces assumed looks of disappointment, but the father soon brightened them up. "Say boys," said he, "do you want your names to lie printed in the paper?" Immediately a chorus of "Ytu bet I do's" greeted him. "Weil," continued the father, "if you boys will Itand together aud see that that big fellow doesn't lick Billy I will put every one of your names in the paper to-morrow morning." This is why one of the morning pa lters published the next day an item which ran: "The Blank Athletic club was organized yesterday. The princi pal members are ." Then came all the names of the boys who had sworn protection to the newspaper man's son. One application of Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil takes aw ay the pain of the most severe burn.

Senator Matthew Stanley Ouay, whose matchless leadership in Penn sylvania politics has been proven by his election to the chairmanship of the K.'publican State committee over the strongest opposition that he ever en countered, has a political history reach ing back forty-two years. Perhaps there has been no struggle in which he has taken a keener interest than this last one. He has not reached the jte riod of decline in life, but is entering upon that mellow age which give him the strongest desire possible to main tain his proud political iosition a few years longer. He was eager fir the test. The test came ami he is once more master stronger in his strong hold than ever before. Bitter was this last fight (Juay wag ed U-cuUse it was a family affair and at this very hour of his triumph he joints not only to his iron hand that killed his foes, but also to his velvet gloves that soothed the feelings of his beaten bntthers. This is, in epitome, the secret of Colonel (Quay's success in toli!ical life. He knows when to use the iron hand, and also when to use the velvet glove. He steers when the fight is over that lteautiful middle course which captivates and charms human nature because from it there Is scarvly any room fir reaction. You may no longer wonder where Quay gets his fighting bhxid, for it is a sturdy Scotch ar.cestrj' that gave it to him. His father, a Presbyterian cler gyman, reared his son to withstand the storms of life and to make his word a Imnd. And even in his tender years he showed the drift of hU mind toward political sagacity. When his father brought home a Bible and a sword he a-iked his son which he would have. He was to chose one, ami the other was to lie a gift, for his sister. The Uiy wanted lioth. He chose the Bible le causc he knew that the sword would lie of no use to his dear sister. It is m-edless to say that this shrewd move worked beautifully. While Quay was a student at Jeffer son College, Canoitsburg, Pa, and dur ing his term of study before admission to the lar in ISVt, at the age of :M years, he showed sagacity at all times in everything that he did. His vigorous passion for politics led him to make his first impression in Beaver county and the Western section of the State and in 1S.V5 he was api"int J Prothonotary of the county, was elected to a full term later and re-elected. Then came the war and be liecanie conspicuous under Curtin, the great War Governor. He commanded the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Pcniia. Volunteers for a time and at the battle of Fredericks burg General Tyler complimented him for his gallantry. Quay resigned from the army on Decern! 7, ls.;2, to ac cept the appointment of State agent at Washington. A year later he was made Military Secretary of the St ite, and it is here that we date the real U'ginning of his remarkable rise in politics. He first worked to lie elected to the State legislature, succeeding iu istil. For two years he was the dovot ed servant of Curtin. He assisted the latter in a futile effort to check the asivndency of Simon Cam eron iu the control of the iarty. Cam eron, though in bad odor, was a tower of strength, l.cuuse he controlled a great fortune and was not afraid to di vert it into the channel of politics iu a business like way. Curtin was s.nn hors de combat, and Quay was defeat ed for the Sjieakership of the House. Colonel Quay saw no personal advant age in a continued warfare against the Camerons, for J. IXtnald Cameron was working with hf father. He was am bitious to rule with thoc who ruled. He aspired to control men in success ful, not losing campaigns. The conversion of Quay to the Cam crouian dynasty was complete. At this iicriod ItoU'rt W. Mackey was the ablest lieutenant of the Camerons, hut S.HHI he was replaced by this rising star. The latter was more aggressive and suited the time. Quay's zeal was always burning; his macnctfm was ir- I resistible. Where diplomacy or argu ment or brilliant strategy was neiil.il; where men were to lie approached by persuasion in all the varied forms that persuasion, iu political contests, is ca pable of assuming ; where an enemy was to lie won with overtures or legis lation to be urged on to rapid comple tion, Quay was the genius of it all. Quay was not altogether careful of de tail. He has always been the general for a great emergency, where the very recklessness of daring carries a minor ity to victory. Senator Quay can stand more abuse to the square inch than most men. He will not let you smite the other cheek, but he will pull you aside by the coat sleeve and begin to argue with you He will tell you that you are wrong and then proceed to show in a plausi ble and friendly manner that he is not i such a had man after all, but a very genial hearted gentleman. His ability to withstand abuse and slander lias won him many friends. It is human nature to admire a man w ho has the pluck to endure the smites as well as the smiles of men. Personally'Senator Quay would nev er impress one. He has no dandy man ners, no love for dress, no desire to shine in the social world, no liking for the life of a literary man. He is in many respects a composite character. He can content himself alone, or he can bj happy in the midst of his friends. The Colonel is fond of the lone fisher man habits, and he is equally fond of a chat with those who know him. He is not a conversationalist iu the sense that he seeks to charm every person who admires great ability. But when a friend comes into his room in whom he lias complete confidence he will open the Honrs of ins spceen ami taut interestingly hour after hour. Withal iu his personal relations he is gracious and unassuming. The man who ex WHOLE NO. 2302. pects to find in him a perfect type of a mere jxilitieian will lie very much dis apiointed. He is broad minded on all affairs, and in the realm of literature he is no novice. His reading is of the moft varied description, and he has standing orders with several publishing firms of the country to send him alltiooksof current interest His library is ntt only well stocked and choice, l.ut is in creasing everyday, and when be leaves this life the man who strays around tbe liook shrives of his home will find that the "silent man" of Ik-aver county has teen a reader of many liooks and has profit! by the wisdom that they con tained. No adequate description can le given of the personal attire of the junior Senator from Pennsylvania. As he sat in the convention at llarrishurg last Wiilnesday he might have Uvn mis taken for a countryman olVcn a lark at the seashore, with a jf.iir of soiled duck trousers, a neglige shirt and a dark coat.

But hcalwavs drinks the fin-st whisky that is sol. I i;i the laud. Senator Quay is a man slightly aUive the medium height. I L- h:is dropping eyes, but when yHl talk to hint he is not asleep. No matter how apparently trivial the conversation, lie will listen to every word you say, and will reach an csiimate verv smiii as to whether you are of any worth to him. It is this faculty of being able t listen that shows to the observant one the great force of his character deli!Taiion. Senator Quay dia-s not forget names, when those names are of any Use. His memory is very retentive, and in this lies much of his presonal magnetism. IK is at ull times courageous. When he was challenged to go to the people for his re-election as I nstnl Stales nator in hi! he did s-, and the victory came to him. He feels the pulse of the people, and knows human nature to its l;v-t chord. At this hour his followers are broking rcyoml the smoke oi tn; name just nded. To them his election as State hairman means not only a great lepub!ie;ut majority in Pennsylvania this fall, but the cbs'tioa o."a Uepubli ean President in l"..

When the ( inductor cauu through the train after he hu l left Teeumsch was surpris-d to see the sam? man sitting complacently in the same seat. "Ticket," said the condjetor. "Haven't g it any," said the man. "Then you'll have to pay," said the conductor. "Can't do it," said the man. "Then I'll have to put you off," said the conductor. "What, right out here in the coun try?" said the man. "Bight out here in the country?" re- plieu the conductor. A great many of the other passengers were interested at one, and the argu ment continued.

The train was stopped and the con ductor went to the rear platform to sav that he got oil' and stayed off "See that white house over there?" asked the son of toil. The conductor could see it easily.

Would le friglstein-'l int'i a fit by the m;-r? suggestion of a burglar. As it hapjf-ne I, Mr. Post was awak ened a few nights later by a light Hashed in his fue, and opening his eyes he saw a man standing over him with a black mask on and a revolver in hand. "Your money or yo-ir life," siid the burglar in the most birglari-f.n m in ner. "Irt slnKit," implor -1 Mr. Po t; "you might kill my wife.

A S trenuous and Severe Conflict From the Philadelphia l'r.-ss. The conclusion was n it reached without a strenuous and severe conflict. As the result of that tremendous and earnest struggle the victory remained witii S .-nator Q i.ty. Iu the end it was clear and unmistakable. I-.-t it U" free ly and u:trvs-rved!y acknowledged. Twenty-four hours Ivfore the conven tion met Governor Hastings, on ill- tiiut pledges, and assurances, had a majority of the delegates. But it is the heaviest artillery o: the day of the bat tle that ciunts and S .-nator Quay, with his great resources, succeeded in overturning that majority and making one of his own. The vote on tempor ary chairman was the crucial test, and the nominal maj irity was thirty. Of this number six were contestants who had no valid claim, but who came in under the compromise. B .- l icing the analysis to its plainest terms, Senator Quay had twelve more than one-half the convention. It was enough, and when it U-came clear it -settled the struggle. Senator Quay had won in the greatest buttle he has ever fought with the m ist pro ligious ctl'irt he has ever put forth agiin-t the in tst formid able oppsitio:i he h is ever encount ered. The Cijarette. A careful chemist recently made an analysis of an ordinary cigarette. This is the result: "The toliacco was found to lie strongly impregnated with opium, while the wrapper, which was warranted to lie rice paj-ier, was proved to lie the most ordinary quality of pa per, whitened with arsenic. The two poisons combined were present in suf ficient quantities to create in the smok er a habit of using opium without be ing aware of it, his craving for which can only lie satisfied by an incessant consumption of cigarettes." These facts ought ti lie sufficient to stop the manufacture of the deadly thing, and all men who are victims of the cigarette should lie tilled with alarm. But man ufacturers will continue to turn out the poisonous little roll by the ten thou sands, am! the smokers by the thttu sand will smoke smoke until they are dead. 'TU impious sad.
