Taylor, above Kcedsville, Miftlin Co. Follow ing a heavy wire the lightning entered the kitchen, where Miss Lottie Mitch ell, a servant was at work. It struck the steel buckle on her belt. Following the belt, the lightning en circled her waist, leaving marks on both the belt and her clothing. The young lady received a severe shock, from which she has not yet fully recovered. Before we begin to live this life, fear and anger must be eliminated. These are two great forces of evil, depression, ill health and ill success. There is something more than senti ment in this. It is a fact of science that linger is poison. Kage infects the entire system. Any physician will testify to this. Fear operates in the same way. Good health depends largely upon good temper and freedom from fear, and success depends upon good health and hopeful minds. It may be laid down as axiomatic that, giving good health, every man obtains the meas ure of success of which he is worthey. Without good health no amount of natural ability or acquired learning can wiu for him what belongs to him. ( Jet rid of anger and fear. State College Gets Library.

Let your soul never be disturlel, ig nore what worry is. If an affair does not succeed us well as you expected, you must rejoice before' God at every thing He is pleaded to do. The things that appear most important to nature are only trifles in the estimation ot i christian, because nothing has any itn portance for him except what G wishes. Trouble and worry are f" hell: the children of God ought not to know them. Work ill all pcaee and tranquility; do your utmost neeoiding to the nature ot the thing, by which you are surrounded, and to thcciivum- stances in which you find yourself : leave the rest to the care of God'. Provi dence. If He is pleased to crown your labors with success, rejoice before Him and give Him most bumble thank.; if on tho other band, everything goes wrong, bless Him still with your w hole soul. A christian who acts thus al ways passes his life in peace, in joy and happiness. At the end of this miser able life, which is of little account, there will come a happiness of which I will not undertake to speak to vmi (or fear of not doing so worthily. Ex. Special Mitlini;.
