When a feller sort of pucks his traps an' goes away from home, Whar the birds are alius singin' an' the honey's in the bomb Whar the sunshine is the brightest an' the heart beats all in tune, An' life's as sweet in winter as in ros , lest days of June. No matter how the skies look ef they ar jest as bright an' blue As the eyes with which your sweetheurt twinkled messages to you You'll find 'em growin' misty, with a haze on field an' plain, An' your eyes'll sorter twinkle an' the lids hide the rain. For the future it looks lonesome, au' though roses red an' white Air jest as sweet olT yonder, w ith the dews an' with the light, As the ones in old-time gardens, y it It's mighty sure to roam An' you know'inore of the roses in the little spot called "Home." So, packin' up for leavin, sorter makes you fumble roun' For handkerchiefs to dry the tears that will come tricklin' down! An' though you say it's foolishness, y it world's o wide to roam, An' the best world fer a feller is the little world at home. Seniors' Annual Kxcuision. The annual excursion of the Senior Class, of Cumberland Val ley State Normal School, to Wash ington, D. C, will this year take place on March 28, 29 and .con siderably earlier than usual. The weather will not be so warm and it will not interfere so much with the studies at this date. The ex cursion as usual will be under the charge of the gentlemanly and efficient management of Doctor Joseph Barton, Assistant Princi pal of the institution. A Mercersburg correpondent of Franklin Repository writes as follows: It may bean interest ing fact to some of the readers of your paper that Mercersburg claims to have the champion checker player in Franklin coun ty.

Any checker players wishing to arrange a series of games in ad dressing William Selsor, Mer cersburg,Pa.,will no doubt receive a satisfactory reply and he will be ready to meet all comers. Kev. Ralph E. Carson, of Sap phire, North Carolina, was a guest in the family of Huston Johnston on Tuesday.

"I have had all kinds of trouble and it is the most difticult thiug in the world to pin the responsi bility down on one of them, for they have all kinds of loop holes for failing to get things ex actly right. ''.Many errors are the work of prank-playing printers, some of the ugliest and grossest errors are made purely unintentionally, and undoubtedly, a few are made with malice, frequent errors, however, are made by the change of a word or a letter, and since typesetting machines have come into such general use a printer they are called machine operators now can set up a line, slip it into his pocl-:et and drop it into a col umn of matter whenever he gets a good chance and when the 'make-up' is not looking. "Errors of a very serio-comic nature have occasionally occurred. Au edition of the Bible was once printed in England in which th'? word 'not' was omitted iu the Seventh Commandment. l'er this offense, whether by careless ness or design, the Archbishop imposed the heaviest penalty know iu history i'20,ii nt ster ling. The edition was called iu and destroyed. A WIDOW'S CKVISIOX. "It is stated that a printer's widow iu Germany, while au ed ition of the Bible was being printed at herVstablishmetit, al tered that sentence of subjugation toher husband, pronounced on Eve in Genesis, so that instead of reading 'he shall be thy lord,' it said, 'and he shall be thy fool.' Copies of this edition were bought up at enormous prices. "The religiously important loss of a single letter is well illustrated in the case of a printer putting to press a form of the Book of Com mon Prayer. The c was omitted in the passage, 'We shall all he changed iu the twinkling of au eye. ' When the book appeared it read, 'We shall all be hanged in the twinkling of an eye. ' "If the perversion of Scripture by printers go at this rate what can we expect of less sub jects'? "I remember where two arti cles had been prepared for a daily (one a sermon preached by an emiuent divine, and the other about the freaks of a mad dog). Unfortunately, the foreman, when plaeiug them iu the form, 'mixed' them, making the following: " 'The Kev. James Thompson rector of St. Andrew's Church, preached to a large concourse of people on Sunday last. This was his last sermon. In a few weeks he will bid farewell to his congre gation, as his physicians advise him to cross the Atlantic.

The editor gave out two articles for his paper one on a political sub ject, and another on fattening swine. Some mysterious sleight-of-hand manipulation on the part of the 'iutel'igenl compositor, had changed the headings so as to read: 'Great hogs. Under this head wo iucludo the clergy, tho editorial fraternity, aud the members of Cougress.' n 1 1: a- 1 "A lad in a printing oflice, who knew more about type setting than ho did abo?t Greek 0 'v' 'n over a pwm they were1 printing, came upon the nimie Hccuti', one of the female .livmiti-s of th.. lower world, cuiing in a line something lil " this: " 'Shall reign the Ilecato of Ihe deepest hell.'

RUSSIA HOHKOWINO "TUOUBLK. " "A New York paper speaking of a Russian loan of ;i0,000 roubles said by its types that 'the Rus sian Government had advertised for a loan of ilO.OOO troubles.' "Years ago, iu speaking of Gov nor McDowell's speech in Con gress on ti certain occasion, the reporter's manuscript said: "'.Many members slept and M r. Speaker Wiuthrop more than once gave way to his feelings in a ilow of beer. ' ' 'A (( H king scho'il called thoNtw Century was cruelly made to ap pear as the Now Cemetery. A more-natural error was that which 'ailed a 'member of the Legisla ture' a member of the liquor st( ro. ' "A Philadelphia paper said that a certain bark had arrived at Honolulu 'with an oil well on board,' and the same office had a printer who turned the expres sion 'from alpha to omega' into lrom apples into oranges,' and conveyed the impression that somebody had set lire to the Delaware River by calling ferry boats Miery boats.' "A Georgia paper had an item that an esteemed fellow towns man who suffered from the severe winter had gone in search of a warmer climates. He is now iu Hell (Hull). -MRS. J!. WAS PRO-HAW. Y MAO. "And another Southern paper in commenting on a society event said that 'Mrs. 15. wore nothing in the nature of a dress that was peculiar., The types made it, 'Mrs. B. wore nothing in the nature of a dress. That was peculiar.' "An enthusiastic editor wrote, 'The battle is now open,' but the printer made it, 'The bottle is now open.' His readers said they had suspected it all the time. "A lecturesaidsomethingabout a' taste of Naples and Rome.' He was horrified to read in the morning paper that he had tasted 'apples and rum.' "In speaking of some celebrity a Baltimore editor wrote. 'He'.sub sequcntly commenced life as a legal practitioner, butwasdivert from it by his love for letters. The editor did not examine his proof and the article appeared. 'He subsequently commenced life as a local politician, but was di verted from it by his love for bit ters.' "It used to be the common practice to send marriage notices to the country papers and tack on i speaKs or tne marriage state, ! 'Wl ion heart meets heart re ciprocally soft.'

What Crime of Having no lltiUor for Breakfast. "When 1 wits a boy," said Oca eralGrant, "my mot her one morn ing found herself without butter for break last, and sent me to 'ie; row some from a neighbor. Geh'g into the house without if nocking-, I overheard a letter ri ad from the son of a neighbor who was then at West Point, sta ting that he had fail.td iu oxami nriici, ami was coming homo. I got the butter, took it home, and, w ithout waiting for breakfast, ran to the office of the congressman for our district. "Mr. Hammer," I said, "will you appoint me in West Point':" "No; Davis is there, and has three years to serve." "But suppose ho .should fail will you send me'?" Mr. Hammer laughed. "If ho don't go through, it is no use for you to try, Uly." "Promise mo you will give me the chance, Mr. Hammer, any how." "Mr. Hammer promised. The next day the defeated hid came home, and the congressman, laughing at my sharpness, gave mo the appointment. Now," said Grant, "it was my mother's being without butter that made me geu- oral and president." But he was mistaken. It was his own shrewdness to see the chance, and the promptness to seize it, that urged him upward. As a boy tit home, young Grant was distinguished for fearless ness, slowness and certainty of comprehension, and a certain in vincible pertinacity of will. Asa schoolboy, says his biographer, "he never whispered, or lied, or swore, or quarreled. He instated on solving all mathematical prob lems himself. He stood squarely upon his own knowledgeoi'lhings, without resorting to trick or ver bal memory. He had an unusual balance of eharaeter,aud good na tive judgment. When twelve years old, iu the absence of the ! lumbermen who were to help I him, he loaded a wagon with he vy .logs by , his own mechanical iu I geuuily in the application of horse I power. At thirteen he drove a I team six hundred miles across I the country, aud arrived in safe- ty. j "He was resolute and unafraid i always; a boy to be trusted and counted upon sturdy aud capa ble of hard knocks. If he said, 'I can do that,' he not merely meant that he would try to do it, but that he had thought his way to the successful end of the un dertaking. Ho was au unusually determined boy, and as a man he did not begin on anything till lie understood it, and wheu ho began he stuck to it till it was accom plished." Strikes A Rich Find. "I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion aud nervous debility," writes F. J. Green, of Lancaster, N. H., "No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, which did mo more good than all the medicines I ever used. They have also kept my wife iu excel lent health for years. She says Electric Bitters tire just splendid f r female troubles that they are a grand tonic and iuvigorator for weak, run down women. No oth er medicine can take its place in our family." Try them.

The apple is such a connnou fruit that few persons are famil iar with its remarkable medicinal properties. Everybody ought to kuow that the best thing ho can do is to eat apples just before go ing to bed. The apple is excel lent brain food, because it has more phosphoric acid, in easily digestible shape, than any other fruit known. It excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep aud thoroughly dis infects the mouth. It also ag glutinates the surplus acids of the stomach, helps the kidney secre tion aud prevents calcus growth, while it obviates indigestion and is one of the best preventives of diseases of the throat. . Next to leinouade and orange, it is also tlie best antidote for the thirst aud craving of persons addicted to tho alcohol and opium habit.
