Some Rambling Thoughts.
II "IMO."
(Copi righted by Dw A Tuber.',
Eagernerw to look at tlie outer ap
pearance of a great man is no real
ronmliiiient to his' work. Willing
ness to take of his nieage and live
it is more to lie praised. Hy way
of illustrations, let me cite Christi
anity. As the centuries increase in
number U'hiiul us, the vital strength
ot Christianity seems (I do not write
of creeds but" of deeds) to increase.
And I doubt not that the world's
workers, who have learned from The :
Great Worker, care less and less for! guide and tin encouragement; that
His personal appearance; since were j they may see what it is to have
we to behold Him as He was, like j borne the conflict and resisted the
enough we should see but littlecause , storm, to stand ut the hist strongly,
to admire Him. A man's work is ! quietly, brightly iu the midst ot a
more than the man, and his message light that seems to grow morelieau
more to be heeded than his lace, tittil as you sink away into the
And we gaping ones who would
run hither and thither just to "nee,"
advertise that we as yet understand
hut little of what influence really
means. Like those who gazed upon
raged lions, are we who gather to
stare ut iiuiious thinkers we have
our rewards; we are disappointed in
loth lions and men, for they are out j
of their prop'!- setting.
And those who, having aided the
thought of the day, straightway im
itate the Irt-.iks of the museum,
.showing themselves at every public
place, have their reward also They
are wen, their work is judged by
their facial or physieial insignificance
(for great thoughts are no necessary
product of magnificent brows or her-1
cuieau Doilies), and mey are on me
way to the land of forgotten things,
lletter to live uiiknoweti and leave
a message lor all time hereafter,
than to kill time and influence by
idle jKiradings of self.
The "silent influence" what u
world of satisfaction there in the
idea ! It brings us all in as
in the onward work of the world. I
The "silent influence," softas asnow j
Hake, gentle as a Hummer zephyr,
despised as an earth worm, unheeded
as a blade ot irrass,
is what is (loinsr
1
the work ot the world. Mightier
than niouarchs is the quiet thought
of the people, passing from hamlet
to hamlet unci growing as it passes;
more enduring than mountains are
the personal and national virtues
that are quietly ani silently taught
and lived bv iinknowon men and
women; more presistent than death
are the silent works done generation
after generation by the humble and
unseen done liecausc they were
right to he done, and not because
they were to Ik1 either seen or praised
of. men. 1 1 limbic ones everywhere,
the "silent iiiHueiice" and a know-i
ledge of its grandeur iu all history,
all progress, all morals makes the
humblest of us humble ones proud to
live and eager for more of the pa
tient plodding to which we have
hitherto Ixrn eon ti mil. We are a
part of the great human body, as
111 tic 1 the invisible oxygen in us is
Hirt of us, and like it we are exer
cising a definite influence for good iu
our race, 110 matter how small or
insignificant may lie our effort to
wards wisdom and righteousness of
life.
Purpose in life is like the kiiii
hhine that comes over the hills to
make the way clear after a night of
doubt and wandering. I am not
surprised that many people find ex
istence altogether too confusing und
give up in despair. Jt is because
they get into the maze of lite und
lose hold it Kin the one tread that will
guide them out into freedom, Like
the early alchemists whoalways hud
one thing lucking when they tried
- to transmute metal, many of us are
seeking the philospher's stone that
shall turn to fine gold the days and
I lours that are allotted to us. Failure
follows fuilure, failure lives with us,
failure nauseates us because the one
thing lacking is purpose. Goodwin
cere, honest purpose is more to be
desired than great riches, and strong
er to sweep ditliiculty out of the
way is it than music. But the
possession of clear purpose does not
necessarily mean that all difficulties
will disappear. Such are geod for
us and test our purposes a? to wheth
er it has the genuine ring of pure
metal about it
I assume that the preceding para
graph will k regarded as applying
most definitely to young men out in
the world's work. But I do not
want it so applied. That's too nar
row a way of regarding it. . It ap
plies to us all, a I shall show.
Weary widow, with a heart crush
ed a by strange and terrible affliction
left perliaps with small children
to sustain, none ot them able m neip
with the family purse, except to
help empty it look back at the
first few hours ot your bereavement,
and recall how the almost fierce re
solve to bring them up well in spite
of every '""obstacle, brought some
measure of quiet orderliness to your
brain and ' hos: made the struggle
seem worth while ever since.
Aeed pilgrim, whose beetling
brow is covered with the snows ot
life's winter, lift up your head into
the sunshine, let its glories linger
around your teuipestworn face, that
the vomit; may look up to you as a
uiirht. l'urnoM! is still yours to

last days as beautiful for good, us
erniaiiently useful as any that have
won Ix-fore, sime you know not
w hat undrcamed-of hero, what bud
ding genius you may lie stimulating;
or what "silent influence" you may
be inaugurating
Maidens with knowledge of life
yet to lie learned; liereuved and
smitten ones in a world where there
are ver deeper sorrows than yours ;
men who seek to make money for
itself alone and who lose happiness
in the making; young men oer
whose bright wav there is but the
one cloud that arist from abusing
life instead ot using it; all, all who
are weary and heavy laden, all who
are puzzled, bewildered, lost; cling
last to one purpose to do all you

"Yes. aald the distinguished gentle
woman who Is keenly studious of the
life around her, deeplte her crown ot
liver hair, "I see a great advance In
this generation so far as concerns edu
cation and tta results. But as to man
ners, I confess I perceive a filling off.
I do not always find, even In the high
est circles, the true courtesy and fine
grace that belonged to the best people
of the past generations. The young
people of to-day are conscious of their
Intellectual advantages and their supe
rior capabilities. The sense of this
makes them a little bit too self-satls-Bed
and Independent less anxious to
propitiate and please. This result either
In an off-hand familiarity er a critical
reserve and indifference.
'The repose of manner" which is
supposed to characterize "thorough
breds" Is a pleasure to contemplate In
clndly. intelligent, anaffected members
af society, but it approaches Idiocy
when it means an icy absorption in
self and an utter absence of Interest
n the rest of the human race. Have us
from the repose of manner that re
luires human beings to sit in Immobile
nonentity, like the wax figures In a
riinp window, with the gauze of "hlj;h
breed I m; und reserve" to guurd them
from the dust and flies of mediocrity!
There Is a repose of manner which
comes from the consciousness of be
ing In the right place and doing the
right thing by necessity; there is an
sther, which is the outcome of gen
tleness of nature, sweetness of temper
ind habitual self-control. Now and
then we meet one to whom these per
fect manners are so natural nnd spon
taneous as fragrance to a flower; then
we realize after awhile, if not at first,
thnt this charm of manner is more cap
tivating than beauty or Intellect When
united with lovllness of person, fine
tense nnd cultured mentality, the com
bination Is irresistible, and constitutes
the flower of humankind. (The Hu

The Turkish method Is to take the

f the body Is operated upon in this

ases the rubbing Is vigorous.
Persons who cannot afford to have a
tiasseus or massage can create a fric
tion with long strips of leather or
'lorsehlde, with the handle at either
end, linen gloves, gloves of Turkish
toweling nnd other slmlllnr material.
For face massage use the purest and

This is what the Sunbury Demo
crat says regarding the financial con
dition of Northumberland countv :
"The Commissioners' statement tor
1 897 shows that the county is in
debt one hundred and eighty thoua
and dollars. The treasurer received
$173,831.91 and paid out $172,
49G.12, leaving a balance of only
$1,335.79 in his hands, but with the
$181,000 burden for the taxpayers
still to carry. There will be ob
served upon scanning the expendi
tures, some very lat pickings. The
district attorney's fees amount to
nearly us much as the judge's salary.
Prothonotary Kremer got from the
treasury over $4,000. Each com
missioner got over one thousand,
while their chief clerk got $1,200.
The pay received by the jury com
missioners was for two years. They
received nav for 1896 after the re
port for that year had been prepared
for publication. The total paid for
bridge work foots up the big sum
of nearly $16,000. Ihe oommu

$4,000 for theyear."
