It is a mistake for workmen to ask gov

men need is the right to mske their own

are Dot lived up to, there is ample pro vis

zleij at a socialistic meeting held in fiew

The Bloomfie'.d Advocate of April 21, in
speaking of the vote recently taken in New
port to test the sense of the people in the
mailer of water works, says : Newport vo
ted on Saturday whether or no its citizens
should have water works. In a poll of two
hundred and thirty-two votes the enterprite
was lost by a vote of one hundred and eigh
ty-six to forty-six. Prop erty owners were
generally arranged" against piping water iuto
that place, as they foresaw increased taxes
while renters, too, feared increased rents.
Tiie advocates ol water works made no par
ticular effort to succeed. In fact it was
foregone conclusion two weeks ago that the
enterprise would ba defeated.
Three Harrisbnrg banks have been vic
timized to the amount of ten thousand dol-
ars by a pleasant, unassuming, well connect
ed and religiously inclined young lady by
the name of McClure. The young lady was
one of the leading ladies of Pinestreet
church, and her financial method was that of
forgery. On her bank paper she forged the
name of her mother, her brother, and a
Bellefonte cousin named Furth. She ob
tained ten thousand dollors from the banks
last February and baa been away from the
city since. It is believed that the wants of
a lover induced the young woman to .resort
to the crooked methods of the forger.
The editor of the Altoona Sunday Morn
ing is opposed to the introduction of elec
tric light into the city. This is what he
says: Msny are clamoring for electric 'ights.
We don't want them, nnless in a fewaof the
most public places. Who wants night turn
ed into glaring day, in the hot summer, es
pecially, blazing into your porches and win
dows, drawing mosquitoes and robbing the
cool, dewy evenings ol all their charm and
comfort, after a torrid, scorching day ?
The electric light is moie trying than day
light, and the eye grateful'y accepts the
twilight deepening into night, and think
how little our present system of lighting
the city interferes with its Cimmerian dark
ness. The good health of our optics, there
fore, demands that we do not have electric
light."
The Philadelphia Bulletin says : An ag
ed, much respected citizen of Philadelphia,
still engaged in a position of high responsi
bility, was for a long time a childless wid
ower, and such a thing as a second marri
age was not tho nght of. He had a good
many relatives, and two loving nephews
from the country came to pay him a visit
It was summer, and doors and windows
were open. One day the gentleman over
heard a little conversation to this effect s
"Jim. How do you think Uncle Joe will
cut up when he dies 1 Tom. Well, ho's a
pretty rich man, and there might be a big
fortune to divided. Jim w hat do yon
think we will get apiece. Tom Why from
fifty to a hundred thousand dollars, I sup
pose." Uncle Joe said nothing at the time,
but went and paid bis addresses to a young
lady, married her, aud is now the father, of
sons well advanced toward manhood. This
fable teaches that when young men converse
about rich uncles they should see that tha
doors and windows aro closed.

If hat the Earth Thinks).
I am threatened with a comet,
With all-absorbing sun ;
Told that I should slowly burn out,
As my own fair moon has done ;
Warned of coming conflagrations
Tbat will seize me unaware ;"
Can I fear annihilation,
After what I daily hear f
Pelted constantly with hailstones,
Fiercely shook by hurricanes,
Thrown by whirlwinds topsy.turvey,
Nearly drowned by constant rains,
Growled at day and night by thunder,
Pierced by lightning everywhere,
Kipped with frosts until I scarcely
Know If I am round or square.
Out all night in freezing weather,
Uunder tropic suns all day,
Dug and struck with plows and shovels
Scratched with barrows every way,
Beaten down for streets and highways,
Galloped over day aud night,
With steam engines, burned and scalded
Kept iu a continual fright.
Deeper wounds than these I suffer
I am mined and bored and hit,
Torn by dynamite and powder,
Blown to pieces ; bit by bit,
I've seen comets without number,
Aud they always keep their sphere ;
It is mau that makes me trembla
Restless, curious mtn, 1 fear.
For I know some day or other
Ho will find a stronger forco,"
Wonderous chemicals discover,
And tbe end will be, of course,
I shall have uiy shattered remnants
Blown away like any feather,
Tet I have one consolation
Probably we'll all go together.
