Make me no vows of constacy. my friend, To love me, though 1 die, the whole lifelong, And love no other till thy days shall end— Nay, it were rash and wrong. It would not make me sleep more peacefully That thou were wasting all thy life in woe For my poor sake. What love thou hast for me Bestow it ere I go! Carve not upon a stone wheh I am dead The praises which remorseful mourners give To women's graves—a tardy recompense— But speak them while I live. Heap not the heavy marble on my head To shut away the sunshine and the dew: Let small blooms grow there, and let grasses Wave, And raindrops filter through. Thou wilt meet many fiirer and more gay Than I: but. trust me, thou can’st never find One who will love and serve thee nignt and day With a more single mind. Forget me when I die!

For sale by Copland. the druggist, Mey eradale, Pa. : : The wother who permits et daughter to grow up into womanhood without teaching her the ordinary duties of house- keeping, is making a sad, mistake. . No matter if the daughter is never called up- on to perform such labor, she only knows how to direct such matters when she knows how to do it. It.is an accomplish- ment to any girl to be familiar with cook- ing, sewing and general housework. And then if the time comes when itis ab- solutely necessary to perform her own work, she will he prepared to do so. The task is to face such requirements while ignorant of the work. The great mistake many mothers make—and we see it every day—is the idieness in which they keep their daughters, Half of the unhappy homes to-day arise principally from ignorance of house-keeping. There is no blame for this state of afiairs but the mothers themselves. —Ex. The Allegany County (N. Y.) Publishers’ Association has adopted three rules which are commended to publishers everywhere. They are, first, that five cents per line shall be eharged for resolutions of respect, and for all local notices of entertainments from which a revenue is to be derived; second, that cards of thanks are to be charged for at the rate of $1; third, that ordinary obitnary notices and lists of wedding presents be charged for at not less than five cents per line. The Steuben County (N. Y.) Press. Association has passed resolutions somewhat similar, al- though it goes further, and bas decided to charge five cents per line for all notices of fairs, horse shows, and other exhibi- tions of that character, provided they are not local. The Steuben association also agreed to classify enucus and convention calls as legal notices, and charge accord: ingly. “In our last issue we stated that Tom Jordan, proprietor of the Bald Eagle sa- loon, had to leave Montana for gouging Bill White's right eye out in a saloon row. Mr. Jordan called at the office next day and brought abundance of proof that we were mistaken. It was not with Bill White, but with Jim Davis. that he had a row, and it was not Davis’ right eye, but his left, which was left sparkling in the sawdust after the fight was over. Jt has always been the policy of the Kicker to state facts and facts only. ' Being sat- isfied that we did Mr. Jordon an injustice in our statement, we hereby make the amende honorable, as the New York dai- lies call it.

President Butler, of the New York State Press Association, says: “It seems strange to me that the business of pub- lishing a newspaper should be less prof- itable than any other calling, but so it is. Take the wealthiest newspaper publisher in the United States today, and he can- not count dollars and cents with the wenlthiest soapmaker.” ‘This is all too true, and the remedy lies in organizing for protection, not for junketing excur: sions. “Pineapple juice,” says a physician, “‘has medical properties of the highest order. In throat diseases, and even in diphtheria. it has seldom failed to give relief and as an anti-dyspeptic it is inval- unble. The unpleasant taste victims of indigestion experience on raising in the morning can be got rid of by the persist- ent use of this remedy, and as it goes at once to the root of the trouble and re- moves the cause, the cure is a permanent one. Any dyspeptic who has not tried the pineapple should loose no time in taking the advise of one who has.” “How to avoid colds” is again a stand- ing headline in the newspapers. Is it be- cause people object to taking advice that nine out of every ‘ten you meet hive a cold? SALISBURY FOUNDRY. | The Salisbury foundry has been purchased by M.
