WE CAN MAKE HOME HAPPY. Though we may not change the cottage For a mansion tall and grand, Or exchange a little grass plat For a boundless stretch of land— Yet there’s something brighter, nearer, Than the wealth we’d thus command. Though we have no means to purchase Costly pictures, rich and rare— Though we have no silken hangings For the walls so cold and bare— We can hang them o'er with garlands, For flowers bloom everywhere. We can always make home cheerful, 1t the right course we begin; We can make its inmates happy, And their truest blessings win; It will make the small room brighter If we let the sunshine in. When we gather round the fireside When the evening hours are long, We can blend our hearts and voices In a happy social song; We can guide some erring brother, Lead him from the path of wrong. We may fill our home with music, And with sunshine brimming o'er, If against all dark intruders We would firmly shut the door— Yet, should evil’s shadow enter, We must loye each other more. There are treasures for the lowly Which the grandest fail to find; There is a chain of sweet affection Binding friends of kindred mind— We may reap the choicest blessings From the poorest lot assigned. The enemy is more easily repulsed if we never suffer him to get within us, but, upon the very first approach, draw up our forces and fight him without the gate. A man who lives right and is right has more power in his silence than an- other has by his words. Character is like bells which ring out sweet music, and which, when touched, accidently even, resounds with sweet music. All parents should feel to the greatest extent the responsibility of training their little ones; they should know that their characters must be shaped, their lives must go on; only one foundation can be laid, only one structure built; but the building must go up, and parents ure greatly respon- sible for its merit. WORK MAKES MEN. Work makes men. Luck usually fails. Pluck nearly always wins. To succeed in anything one must overcome obstacles. Force and fibre are built by haxdships. Grit is as necessary in the making of a man as gumption. Hard- ships are not always handicaps. Often they are helps. You will understand this better in twenty years. Mean- while permit one who has lived that twenty years and more, to advise you in this. Hang onto your job until you are sure of a better one. Dependable boys are in demand. And no boy can be depended upon who does not finish the task he xets his hand to do. How- ever disagreeable our work, do it thor- oughly. Do it better than the average boy will do it. In that way you will come to be known as adependable boy. And mind you this: Men everywhere are looking for capable, honest, gritty, dependable boys. The sooner you let people know that you are that kind of a boy, the sooner you will get a better job. And don’t be in a hurry to give up the work you already have. Be sure something better is offered. Wait awhile. Do your work well. Promo- tion will come. And do not envy the boy who has an easy time. You would much better pity him. He has a good time now, but some day he must “make good.” With his flabby muscles, his easy habits and his many wants he stands a far poorer chance than you. Remember above all, young fellow, you are making a man of yourself, and the kind of a man you are going to be depends largely on yourself. DEVIL'S ISLAND TORTURE is no worse than the terrible case of Piles that afflicted me 10 years. Then I was advised to apply Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and less than a box permanently cured me, writes L. 8S. Napier, of Rugles, Ky. Heals all wounds, Burns and Sores like magic. 25c at E. H. Miller’s, druggist. 5-1 IS WITTE A FAILURE? “Witte: A Great Map Facing Fail- ure,” by Perceval Gibbon, in McClure’s for April, is a paper for every person who pretends to keep pace with the progress of events. Mr. Gibbon throws new light on this great, melancholy struggler. Witte is a failure, he says, and he knows Witte. He has seen a good deal of him during these months of revolution and intrigue since he re- turned from the greatest diplomatic victory of modern times, at Portsmouth. Gibbon’s assertion is{ daring, and al- though you may be inclined to doubt its justice, you are likely to surrender before you have finished. for ‘he is writing from the inside. and these facts, which have not been before pub- lished are convincing. He takes you into Witte’s quarters in the Winter Palace ; you see him before the deputa- tion of working men; you understand his dangerous footing on the narrow ledge between the people and the Beaurocrats ; you grasp the handicap of ill-health, at this time when most of all he needs his phyerical resources; you end by agreeing that the chances of bis success are indeed small. “Big and gross and bony,” xays Gibbon, “he is a strong man and a great one; and here he is—at his finish.” The personal description of Count Witte is quite the most intimate and striking that has ever been published. One would think that everything of interest had been written about this strange man’s life, but even in sketching his career Mr. Gibbon has something new to say. It has long been the popular impression that this grentest of Russians is of lowly origin. This article pricks that bubble, it gives Witte’s genealogy con- nected with several of the greatest houses of Russia. Altogether this is a great and a timely article. It has something new to say, and it says it plainly. ACHANCE FOR SATISFACTION. If you ever bought a box of Witch Hazel Salve that failed to give satisfac: tion the chances are it did not have the name “E. C. DeWitt & Co.” printed on the wrapper and pressed in the box. The original DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve never fails to give satisfaction for burns, sores, boils, tetter, cracked hande,etc. For blind, bleeding, itching and protruding Piles it offords almost immediate relief. It stops the pain. Sold by E. H. Miller. 5-1 REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. John 8. Rhoads to Mary A. Barndt, Quemahoning, $1,049.64. Ira V. Rush to Geneva King, Con- fluence, $500.

Tho’ Seotland boasts a thousand names Of patriot, king and peer, The noblest, grand=-i of them all Was loved and cradled here; Here lived the gentle, peasant prince, The loving cotier’s king, Compared with whom the grandest lord Is but a titled thing. ’Tis but a cot roofed in with straw, A hovel made of clay ; One door shuts out the snow and storm, One window greets the day. And yet I stand within this room And hold all thrones in scorn, For here beneath this lowly thatch Love’s sweetest bard was born. Within this hallowed hut I feel Like one who clasps a shrine, When the glad lips at last have touched The something deemed divine. And here the world thro’ all the years, As long as day returns, The tribute of its love and tears Will pay to Robert Bvrns. —Robert Ingersoll.

Legal Advice. “It's this way,” explained the client. “The fence rune between Brown's place and mine. He claims that I encroach on his land, and I insist that he fa trespassing on mine. Now, what would you do if you were in my place?” “If I were in your place,’ replied the lawyer, “I'd go over and give Bron a’ cigar, havea drink with him, and settle the controversy in ten min- utes. But as things stand, I advise you #0 sue him by all means. Let no arrogaat, domineering, insolent pirate like Brown trample on your sacred rights! Assert your manhood and courage. I need the money!"”—Modern Her Only Wish. “You told me that when we were married you would see that my every wish was gratified,” remarked the bride of a few weeks. “Well?” replied her husband, rath- er curtly. “Well, I wish | was single again.” —Life, Professional Amenities. A barrister once pleaded with great ability the cause of his client for nearly an hour. When he had finished, his learmed friend on the other side, with a supercilious sneer, remarked that he did not understand a word the other had said. “I belleve it, for I was expounding law!” said the first speaker.—Tit-Bits.

A vinegar-faced old woman, travel- ing on top of an L. C.

He Knew the Voice. “Now,” said the Sunday school teach- er, in her most winning tones, “which little boy can tell us about the still small voice that is within us?” ‘“Please’m,” said the freckled boy at the end of the seat, “my uincle has one.” .“Has he?” “Yes'm. He's a Baltimore American. ventriloquist.” — \ Cross-Questioned. “Are you a married man?’ asked the absent-minded lawyer, who was putting a witness through a searching cross-examination. “No, sir,” replied the winess. “I am a bachelor.” “Very well, sir.” continued the law- yer. “Now tell me how long you have been a bachelor, and what the circum- stances were that induced you to be- cume one.” Making It Convenient. The Creditor—When are you golng to pay me? I can’t get to your place ev- ery day, trying to make you settle up. I've got other things to do.” The Debtor—Are you at liberty on Saturday afternoons? Come every Saturday.—Answer. Modern Motherhood. Cynic (savagely)—They say the fashionable mother of today recognizes her baby only by looking at the nurse. Fashionable Mother (unmoved)—How extraordinarily clever when one chang- es nurses so often! I always tell ours by the mail cart.—Judy. Considerate Daughter. A certain young man told his best girl the other night that if she didn’t marry him he’d get a rope and hang himself right in front of her house. “Oh! please don’t do it, Harry,” she said. ‘You know father has al- ways said he doesn’t want you hang- ing round here.—Illustrated Bits.
