OrMsonlu Plsputcli Ileleu, tho four year old dangli tor of Mr. nud Mrs. John Uar ron, of Kock hill, was so badly burned Monday morning that death relieved her sufferings tho same night. Tho child was in tho upper part of the houso and secured some matches, with which it was playing, setting lire to its clothing and wheu discover ed, was all in a mass of ilames. Dr. Tltish was summoned and did all iu his jiower to relievo the child's sufferings. (irccncustlc 1'rcss. An accident out of the ordinary happened near Greeucastle a few days ago. in which a little daugh ter of John Shinham lost three fingers. The little girl was play ing about a lawn mower when one of her brothers moved the machine, the sharp knives of which cut off three of tho digits. She had unwittingly gotten her lingers in tho way of the knives. A doctor was summoned who dressed her hurts. Shippeiishurg Chronicle. Young girls who think it great sport to enter into a correspond ence with a stranger through correspondence bureaus, should lake warning from the experi ence of a young Chambersburg girl, who recently had to invoke the aid of tho police authorities to get rid of an unwelcome suitor, whom she had gained through correspondence. When tho man appeared in Chambersburg, he had the appearance of an ordi nary tramp and he annoyed the girl so that she was thoroughly frightened and was forced to tell her story to the police. The man was arrested and given a hear ing and was- then ordered to leave town under throat of being jailed if he returned. Everett Press. Harvey "VYishart, Esq., of Wells Tannery, Pa,, was an Ever ett visitor on Wednsday. Mr. Wishart was enrouto home from the funeral of his life long friend, Ezekial W. Gaster, of Hyndman. On Tuesday last, Dr. Howard II. Hill received a telgram from his son Walter that ho (Walter) had passed a successful examina tion at the Jefferson Medical Col lege at Philadelphia, and will be numbered among the graduates for 1900. Dr. Walter Hill will locate, in Everett and be associat ed with his father. After an illness of three months PI W. Gaster passed away at his home in Hyndman on Sunday night 0 inst. He was born in Wells Valley, Pulton county, No vember 25, 1841. Mr. Gasterwas a resident of Everett from 1873 1877, and is favorably known to many of our citizens. During the past eleven years he has been a resident of Hyndman. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon at his residence in Hyndman. Hancock Star. MissesEstelleLogue and Nettie Brewer were in Hancock on Fri day. Twenty bark peelers from Pulton county, Pa., wont on a strike over at Spring Gap, this county, a few days ago because they did not like their boss and demanded their time. The boss settled tho difficulty satisfactory and they went back to work and it is supposed they like him now and are striking with their axes instead of their heads and heels, Several weeks ago, one rainy night when Georgo Weller, living on Morgret's farm, a few miles east of here, went to tho barn ho found three men iu tho hay mow who said they came iu out of the wet. A few days ago, he discov ered among the hay some empty boxes, old clothes and a lot of postage stamps. The boxes had contained table knives, collars, etc., and were evidently shelf boxes from a store. Mr Weller also discovered in a pit near his house a hole in tVie. ground fresh ly dug open as if something had been buried there and removed. Tracks were very fresh in the earth. The throe men lodged in the barn the night after the rob bery of the Lushley iostoffice and no doubt Mr. Weller's descrip tion and the evidences of theft would be useful in running down tho theives. PORT LITTLETON. Tho "outside world"' is inclined toward poking fun at Fultrtn county for not having a railroad; but there are many other desir able things in life besides rail roads. Our highways and by ways are not lined with hoboes, and our county jail is not filled with tramps and other criminals; and I might add just here aud I do not do it to advertise buck wheat flour, for my last crop has boon all marketed long ago that there is something about the diet of buckwheat cakes that is conducive to a healthy develop ment of morality and religion. I'll lay a wager that no other rural county in the United States has, within the last half century, made to the world so largo a con tribution of ministers and other professional men in projmrtion to population, as has ours. Those of us who listened to the sermon on faith, by liev. Charles Mayne, in the Methodist Episco pal church, last Sunday evening, feel proud that this county, and especially our town, has added one more of her sons to the list of God's noble ministers. After an absence of eight years, Charley is visiting his parents; Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Mayne, of this place. He is taking a summer vocation from his theo logical course at Evanston, Ill inois. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Taylor and family of Cook's Mills visit ed the family of D. P. Fraker over Sabbath. Mr Bolinger, of Huntingdon couuty, was ot the Fort over Sab bath. Bark peelers are complaining that the bark is hard to peel on account of the dry weather. Rev. Mayne will preach at Fort Littleton next Sunday morning, at half past ten. COVALT.

The board of foreign missions of the Presbyterian church in the United States will close its final year May 30, free from debt. This is tho third year in succes sion that this announcement has been made. The amount appro priated for tho year was$(J35,351. Funds sufficient were raised to pay all the appropriatons and leavo a balance of if 11, 397 for the years. Tho contributions have shown a marked increase.

A few days ngo the steamship Geor gian lnnded at New York with two little tots on board who think there Is no better fun in the world thnu be ing shipwrecked. They are Louii and Kdward Stangc, and their pupa whs the captain of the German steamship Ella, which was wrecked 4o0 miles out in the Atlantic Ocean 15 days ngo. Tho little girl Is 0 years old aud tho little boy only 4, but they have passed the most of their lives on the sea with their papa mid mamma and nurse, who were nil with thein this time. They were not a bit nfrnld whtn the gale began to sing through theshrouds and ratlines; it Is music they have al ways loved to hear. Up und down plunged the ship In the fierce storm, and nt last a giant wave broke In the main hatch cover, nnd the water rushed In, almost standing the ship ou end. Captain Stniige, who was on deck, was thrown down nud had lil.s Hp split nnd his head and face Injured. Then he happened to think this was a pretty stiff blow for two little ones to be up romping around In, so he went down and put them to bed, nailing (lie looked up and laughed.) some boards Iu front of their birth so they wouldn't roil out. They didn't mind Ihls, but lay theie prattling cheerfully In German. Once In a while they were taken out of their berths to rest during the next five days, but they had early learned to mind without making a fuss about It, and they stood It bravely. At last tho captain saw the steamer Georglun's lights and sent up rockets. A lifeboat was despatched. It came back broken by the waves without having reached the Ella. The Geor gian stayed near, though, till daylight, and then another lifeboat was sent out and this time It reached to within CO feet of the Ella. The lifeboat crew did not daro go any nearer to the against tho sides of the big Bhlp, but wrecked steumer for fear their frail boat would be pounded to pieces ngulnst the sides of the big ship, but Captain Strango threw tho end of a rope out to the lifeboat. Tho ropo was caught and tho other end was looped under the anus of a big sailor; then little Kdward was lashed to the sail or's bock with his head n foot above the seuman'sshoulders. Edwnrdlookcd up and Iuughed at his mamma a the sailor Jumped into tho tossing sea, and In a moment a littlo bobbing head now nnd then was all that could bo seen of Kdward. Ho got a good duck Ing, but he came up smiling and reached tho lifeboat sufely. Louise was tuken from the ship In tho same wuy, on tho back of a sailor, nnd she, too, seemed to think It was fun, nnd laughed as If she would like to try It ngnlu. Tho nurse was not so brave. After the ropo was tied around her nnd n life preserver was fastened ii ou her she stood and had to be pushed Into tho water as she would uot Jump. Their mamma came through bravely, and after nil tho crew had been saved, their papa like a good Kencuptaln, tho last to leave tho ship, was also tukeu aboard tho lifeboat, and they all wero saved. Not a bit too soon, though, for theyjhad scarcely all been made com fortable on tho Georgian when the Kb la's jatern rose up, and she plimgi d henllrst to the bottom of the sea llko a lilg whale. Tho children chipped thfelr hands when they saw this. They thought It was a great show, but their papa did not think so as ho caw bis good ship lost foit'ver.

There Is an unsoen world more real and abiding than this flesh In which we are veiled from our real selves. The 8plrlt It Greater Than Fact. "Colonel Itealf was certainly a bril liant man, a Journalist, poet and ora tor. He was possessed of a very highly strung and sensitive organiza tion, which, while It added perhaps to his brilliancy, waB the source of much suffering that a more stolid man would nevei have felt He was a mun of strong social sympathies, nnd gothered around him many ftlcnds; especially was he held In high esteem In literary and political circles, and among his friends he numbered many of the leading men of the day. Btich as Wendell Phillips, Schuyler Colfax, Horace Greely, William Lloyd Garri son and others of like character and fame. As a specimen of his talent for versification we republish the poem, which Is printed in the Atlantic, a poem which well expresses the spirit and power with which ho had been gifted by the Muse. The poem is entitled "Indirection," and the poet says: Fair are the flowers and the children, but their subtle suggestion Is fairer; Rare Is the roscburst of dawn but tho Becret that clasps It is rarer; Sweet the exultance of song, hut the strain that precedes it Is sweeter; And never was poem yet writ, but the meaning outmastered the meter. Never a daisy that grows, but a mys tery gutdeth the growing; Never a river that flows, but a majesty scepters tho flowing; Never a Shakspeare thnt soared, hut a stronger than he did enfold him; Nor ever a prophet foretells, but a mightier seer hath foretold him. Back of the canvas that throbs, the painter is hinted and hidden; Into the statuo that breathes, tho soul of the sculptor is bidden; Under the joy that la felt, He the In finite issues of feeling; Crowning the glory revealed. Is tho glory that crowns the revealing. Great are the symbols of being, but that which is symholed Is greater; Vast the create and beheld, but vaster the Inward creator; Back of the sound broods the silence, back of the gift stands the giv ing; Back of the hand that receives, thrill the sensitive nerves ot receiving. Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed Is outdone by the doing; Tho heart of the wooer is warm, but warmer the heart of the wooing; And up from the pits where these shiver, and up from the heights where those shine; Twin voices and shadows swim star ward, and the essence of life is divine. Ex. As we come to know our kindred, we are brought to understand our selves. This understanding of our selves is the result of knowing our divine parentage. II. Faith a seeing with the soul's eyes (and not with blind fleshly sight) is the only source of light from beyond. We wish for a beyond. We need a hereafter in which to finish life's incomplete reward, to accom plish its barely begun work. He who made us, made our desires and our necessities, Not feeling only is our need, But sober reason, righteoiiB deed; We need the vital, vord whose force Give worlds tni) men their ordered course. Harriet Waie Hall. III. The realization is fast ap proaching when we shall both see and be seen. E. A. DeVore, D. I). The Other. World. It lies around us like a cloud r The world we do not see; Yet the sweet closing of an eye May bring us there to be. Its gentle breezes fan our checks Amid our worldly cares; Its gentle voices whisper love And mingle with our prayers. Sweet hearts around us throb and beat. Sweet helping hands are stirred. And palpitates the veil between With beatings almost heard. The silence awful, sweet and calm They have no power to break; For mortal words are not for them To utter or partake. So thin, so soft, so sweet they glide, So near to press they seem; They lull us gently to our rest, They melt Into our dream. And In the hush of rest they bring, 'Tls easy now to see How lovely and how sweet a pass The hour of death may be. To close the eye and close the ear, Wrapt in a trance of bliss, And gently drawn in loving arms, To swoon from that to this. Scarce knowing If we wake or Bleep, Scarce asking whore we are, To feel all evil sink away. All sorrow and all care. Sweet souls around us watch us still, Press nearer to our side, Into our thoughts, into our prayers, With gentle helping glide. Let death between us be as naught, A dried and vanquished stream; Your Joy be the reality, Our suffering life the dream. The earth is the Lord's and the ful ness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein. A Keen Clear Itraln.
