Many foolish people make them

Parents who believe that children
are incapable of doing a wrong act,
and will not believe it when told of
it, very often have their eyes opened
by bitter experience when it is too
late to rectify an evil, which, if taken
in time, might have been nipped in
its incipiency.

employ wet measure in selling lu rries,

Miss Jennie Bibighaus of this
place has secured the agency for a
new poetical work entitled "Crown
Jewels" which is a valuable book.
It is tho most complete compilation
of poetry we have ever seen, and she
has been very successful in her can
vassing. She is also agent for the
lives of our Presidents, prepared by
the ablest biographers in the couu
try. People who want to acquaint
themselves with the life and services
of our chief executive for the next
four years, whether Democratic or
Republican should purchase one of
her books.
Miss Adele Carlton's Dramatic
Company is exhibiting in Seebold's
Hall this week. On Mouday night
they produced the thrilling melodra
ma entitled ''Only a Former's Daugh

dered with thrilling effect and the
audance was delighted with tho en
tertainment. On Tuesday night they
unfortunately put the same piece on
the boards und the result was a small
house. Wednesday night they ploy
ed to o fair house and rendered
"Kathleen Mavouriieeu," which was
a tine test of tho company's dramatic
ability, and we are flunk to admit
that it is the best troupe that has ex
hibited here for years. They will
appear in Seebold's Hall every night
this week with an entire change, of
program nightly, and each entertain
ment to end up with a roaring farce.
Admission 10 and 20 cents.

We have pulled an old hand-press
for fifteen years, and have learned in
that time not to dispise a thing for
size alone, that there are some bright
intellects found behind small papers
and some mighty small intellects be
hind large papers ; that there are
some great men found in small
towns and some mighty small men
in large towns and that "great" men
are most admired by those who know
them the least. We wish you had a
Hoe )ei feeling press aud asubscrii
tion list of a hundred thousand.

"It Makes Mk Tiheu" to read all
these advertisements of medicines
upon medicines when they enume
rate with such particularity and
minuteness of detail, all diseases
mankind, womankind, and even
"bubykiud," are hi ir to. How cheap
one feels to commence what she sup
poses to be u tragic, or tender low
story, l ead until her sympathies are
so thoroughly aroused that she can
scarcely sleep without knowing
whether they were married or not,
and then have it end something like
this: "Dr. Piere's Favorite Prescrip

Children catch cross tones quicker
than parrots, and they often become
permanent habits in them. When
mother sets the example, you will
scarcely hear a pleasant word among
the children in their plays with each
other. Yet the discipline of such a
family is always weak and irregular.
The children expect just so much
scolding before they do anything
they are bid, w hile in many a home
where the low, firm tone of mother,
or the decided look of her nteady
eye, is law, they always think of
obedience either in or out of sight.
O mother I it is worth o great deal
to cultivate that excellent thing in
woman u low, sw eet voice. If you
are ever so much tried by the mis
chievous or w illful pranks of tho lit -tlo
one, speak low. It w ill be a great
help to you to even try to be patient
and cheerful, if you cannot succeed.
Anger makes you wretched, nnd
your children also. Impatient, an
gry tones never did the heart good.
but plenty of evil. You cannot have
the excuse for them that they lighten
your burdens at all j they make it
only ten pounds heaver. For your
own, ns w ell as your children's sake,
loaru to speak low. They will re
member that tone w hen your head is
under the turf. So, too, will they
remember a harsh and angry tone.
Which legacy will you leave to your
children.

The enlargement of the Posr is des
criptive to the leslllts of the Chicago
Convention. It surprised many but
meets the strong approbation of its
patrons. The S. S. lesson, sermons,
etc., are worth the subscription to
any house-hold. I do not hesitate
to say that the Posr is now the best
and cheapest paper in the county,
am confident that the improvement
is not all benefit to the reader but
also to tho editor.
Our farmers are nearly done with
haying and harvestiug. Hay crop is
light ; the grain is a httlo more than
ordinary good ; corn crop is encour
oging ; potatoes need rain ; wats is
very short.
Jerry Spongier says his oats is just

was so short.

The Middleburgh Post came to us
last week enlarged to eight pages
and weaiing a hamNomt- m w dress.
We rejoice at this evidence of pros
perity on the part of Brother Harter,
and trust that the people of Snyder
county may uppmiate more than
ever the benefits derived by the pub
lication of such a journal in their
midst. I'urt A'.-.y. Timm.
The Middleburgh Post, by Thomas
H. Harter, has also been improved,
having been changed from a folio to
a quarto and is printed with new
type and press. Like his given
name indicates, Harter is full of

would sooner have "benzine" down
to twenty-five cents a quart than
bust up monopolies by a moderate
tariff reduction. Lnriatmr-n Jcmu

He must have struck a bomma to

We elevate our hat und et. n d to

us as a hew paper. P., in- l,.ii,g. d
from a sev en-column folio to a six

his labors ure appreciated, and we
