A HOME IN THE HEART.
“Oh! ask not a home in the mansions of
pride
Where marble shines out in the pillars
and walls;
Though the roof be of gold, it is brill-
iantly cold,
And joy may not be found in its torch-
lighted halls.
But seek for a bosom all honest and
true,
Where love, once awakened, will never
depart:
Turn, turn to that breast like the dove
to its nest,
And you’ll find there’s no home like a
home in the heart.
Oh! link but one spirit that’s warmly
sincere,’
That will heighten your pleasure and
solace your care;
Find a soul you may trust as the kind
and the just,
And be sure the wide world holds no
treasure so rare.
Then the frowns of Misfortune may
shadow our lot,
The cheek searing tear-drops of sorrow
may start;
But a star never dim sheds a halo for
him
Who can turn for repose to a home in
the heart.”
VALUABLE LESSONS.
We have in our community a num-
ber of boys and men whose names
could be written on the lazy list with-
out doing them an injustice. Solomon
was something of a naturalist in con-
nection with his many other accom-
plishments. Being also of a practical
cast of mind, he was able to turn his
knowledge to good advantage. In the
commonplace things of life he found
many valuable lessons for man. Inthe
diminutive ant he discovered habits of
life which put to shame the slothful,
and so when he beheld the human
curbstone ornaments, and the fellows
who loved to sit upon dry goods boxes
of his day, he said:
“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; con-
sider her ways and be wise.
“Which having no guide, overseer, or
ruler.
“Provideth her meat in the summer,
and gathereth her food in the harvest.”
If industry is a virtue, laziness may
consistently be treated asa crime. So-
ciologists are agreed thatthe child who
has nothing to do is in abad way. Par-
ents and guardians eho go upon the
theory that an occasional job of work
will tend to stunt the growth of their
offspring, lay the foundation for ca-
reers which will prove not a blessing,
but a curse.
PICKING FRUIT.
Fruit picking is in some ways similar
to the battle of life. There are any
number of people who are ready and
willing to pick the small, half ripe fruit
pear the ground, but only an occasional
one who will make the effort necessary
to secure the large, ripe, full-grown
fruit on the upper branches. It takes
some nerve and considerable grit to
reach those cherries on the topmost
branch, and it takes nerve, good judg-
ment, and a never faltering purpose to
gain those things in the battle of life
that are really worth the attaining.
There are hundreds of applicants for
the easy work of picking fruit near the
ground ; there are hundreds of appli-
cants for the easy work of the common-
place jobs. Too many people never
realize to what heights they might at-
tain, simply because they are too apt to
be content with those things easy of
achievement. That which requires
long and constant effort to secure, is
usually worth the having, once its
possession is obtained.
The school boy should early learn the
lesson that the ripest, biggest cherries
are at the top, and that nine out of ten
of his fellows will be crowding for
places to pick around the base of the
tree, where the small, wormy fruit
grows. There is plenty of room at the
top; there are plenty of cherries grow-
ing there. The lucious fruit is ready
for the picking, and ever smiles a wel-
come to the hustler to climb up and
obtain possession. The best things in
life require considerable effort to get.
INFLUENCE OF EXAMPLE.
The natural education of the home is
prolonged far into ilfe, indeed it never
entirely ceases. But the time arrives,
in the process of years, when the home
ceases to exercise an exclusive influ-
ence on the formation of character,
and it is succeeded by the more artifi-
cial education of the school, and the
companionship of friends and comrades
which continues to mould the character
by the powerful influence of example.
Men of all ages cannot help imitating
those with whom they associate. If
young men are wisely influenced and
directed, and exert their own free ener-
gies, they will seek the society of those
better than themselves, and strive to
imitate their example. There are per-
sons whom to knowis to love, honor
and admire, and others whom to know
is to shun and despise. Live with per-
sons of elevated character, and you will
feel lifted up in them. “Live with
wolves,” says the Spanish proverb,
“and you will learn to howl.” The life
of every man is a daily inculeation of
good or bad example to others. The
life of a good man is at the same time
the most eloquent lesson of virtue, and
the most severe reproof of vice. There
are men in whose presence we feel as
if we breathed spiritual ozone, refresh-
ing and invigorating, like inhaling
mountain air or enjoying a bath of sun-
shine. The golden words that good
men have uttered, the examples they
have set, live through all time. These
being undisputed facts, how carefully
our young people should select their
associates, and be found only with those
whose example they can take pride in
following!

The Town Went Harvesting.
At Garden Plain, Sedgwick county,
after a suspension for three days, busi-
ness was resumed on June 18. From
Tuesday night not a store in the town
was opened until Saturday evening.
Every merchant went into the harvest
fields Wednesday morning to help the
farmers save their grain. Not half a
dozen persons were left in town. The
stores did such a thriving business
that merchants say they are satisfied
more money has been spent than would
have been had they kept open the
three days. Farmers came from miles
around to purchase goods.—Kansas
City Journal.
LOOK A LITTLE AHEAD.
It is always well to have a box of
salve in the house. Sunburn, cuts, |
bruises, piles and boils yield to Dee
Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Should |
keep a box on hand at all times to pro-
vide for emergencies. For years the |
standard, but followed by many imi-
tators. Be sure you get the genuine
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Sold by
E. H. Miller. 8-1.
Soda on Sunday? No.
Martin Bell, president Judge of Blair
county, rendered a decision Saturday |
that will fall heavily upon the drug
stores and other places where soft |
drinks are sold on Sunday, should lo-
calities insist on an enforcement of the
law. He held that it is a violation of
the Blue Laws adopted 1797 to sell
ice cream, soda water, cigars, etc., on
Sunday, as refreshments, but that
restaurateurs and innkeepers can fur-
nish ice cream as part of a meal, Isn't
it about time to strike that fool law
from the statutes?—Somerset Standard.
You bet it is. Such a law is a dis-
grace to a free and enlightened people.

Got 20 Years.
Charles Trenton, alias Charles Tren-
tor, one of the negroes captured here
last May after an exciting chase, was
convicted Saturday of highway rob-
bery and sentenced to the penitentiary
for 20 years. He was tried at Keyser,
W. Va.
Trenton and William Ross were ac-
cused of shooting Policeman Edward
Spangler, at Rockwood, but Ross, it
developed, alone was resposible for the
shooting.—Connellsville Courier,
Big Frostburg Debate.
We have it by grapevine telephone,
that Fred Durr, the well-known mayor
of Pocahontas, is to take part in a five-
hour debate soon to be held in Frost-
burg, Md., under Marquis of Odortown
rules, and refereed by Editor J, B.
Oder, of the Frostburg Mining Journal.
“Resolved, that the pig is mightier
than the pen, especially in Frostburg,”
is the question that is to be discussed
by Mayor Durr and other invited per-
sons of national reputation.
Veterans of Historic Fifty-fourth to
Gather at Gettysburg in October.
At a meeting of the local survivors of
the Fifty-fourth regiment, Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers, one of the most fa-
mous of the Keystone state regiments
in the Civil War, held in the G. A. R.
building, Saturday night, it was de-
cided to hold the annual reunion of the
regiment at Gettysburg, Oct. 2. Capt.
John L. Decker presided at the meet-
ing, and David R. Bryan, the secretary
of the Fifty-fourth association, was in-
structed to send invitations to all the
survivors to attend the reunion.
Mr. Bryan has the addresses of 313
survivors, who are scattered through-
out the United States. The local rep-
resentation is about 46, and as this is
by far the largest number in any single
community, Johnstown is naturally
looked upon as the center.
The veterans anticipate assembling
at Gettysburg, Oct. 1, the day before
the reunion. Oct. 3 will be taken up
with sight-seeing, and the dates will so
fall that the veterans can go on to
Harrisburg to attend the dedication of
the new state capitol, Oct. 4—Johns-
town Democrat,

Fully Insured.
A Pike county girl married a guide,
and the day after the wedding the
guide took out a life policy for $1,500.
Then, with his wife he started for
Porter’s Lake with a party of sports-
men, the wife to cook and wash dishes.
the man to clean fish, and so on. Un-
fortunately, the guide was bitten by a
rattlesnake one morning, and a few
days afterward he died. The ‘widow
| notified her friends of his death in «
note that said: “Bill parst away yis-
tidy. Loss fully covered by insurance.”
