We want our flowers while we are liv- ing. The dead are past all that. If we would do good, let us do it while we are alive to those who are living. A crust of bread, a pitcher of water, a log cabin and perfect love—there is happiness for you, whether the day be rainy ur sunny. It is the heart that makes the home, whether the eye rests on a potato patch or flower garden. The heart makes home precious, and it is the only thing that can. Home is where the heart is. _ The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and for deeds left undone. “She never knew that 1 loved her.” “He never knew what he was to me.” “I always meant to make more of our friendship.” “I did not know what he was to me until he was gone” Such words are the poisoned arrows which cruel death shoots from the door of the sepulchre. The lady who laughs heartily is a doetor without a diploma. Her face does more good in a sick room than a bushel of powders or a gallon of bitter draughts. People are always glad to seg her. Their hands instinctively go half way out to meet her grasp, while they turn involuntarily from the dampy touch of the dyspeptic, who speaks in the groaning key. She laughs you out of your faults, while you never dream of being offended with her; and you never know what a pleasant world you live in until she points out the sunny streaks on her pathway. The gentle grace of the mother lives in the daughter long after her head is pillowed in the dust of death; and the. fatherly kindness finds its echo in the nobility and courtesy of sons, who come to wear his mantle and to fill his places, while on the other hand, from an unhappy, misgoverned and disor- dered home, go forth persons who shall make other homes miserable, and per- petuate the sourness and sadness, the contentious, strifes, and railings which have made their own early lives so wretched and distorted. HINTS FOR WIVES. Perchance you think that your hus- band’s disposition is much changed ; that he is no longer the sweet-temper- ed, ardent lover he used to be. This may be a mistake. Consider his strug- gles with the world—his everlasting race with the busy competition of trade. What is it that makes him so eager in the pursuit of gain—so energetic by day, so sleepless by night—but his love of home, wife and children, and a dread that their respectability, according to the light in which he has conceived it, may be encroached upon by the strife of existence? This is the truesecret of that silent care which preys upon the hearts of many men ; and true it is, that when love is least apparent, it isnever- theless the active principle which ani- mates the heart, though fears and dis- appointments make up a cloud which obscures the warmer element. As above the clouds there is a glorious sunshine while below are showers and gloom, so with the conduct of man—be- hind the gloom of anxiety there is a bright fountain of high and noble feel- ing. Think of this in those moments when clouds seem to lower upon your domestic peace, and by tempering your conduct accordingly, the gloom will soon pass away and warmth and bright- ness take its place. ee emi HOME, SWEET HOME. Stay, stay at home, my heart and rest; Homekeeping hearts are happiest, For those that wander they know not where, Are full of trouble and full of care. To stay at home is best. Home—the name made dear by sacred associations, the place where childish feet take their first faltering steps and infant minds receive their first ideas. There lessons of love and truth, of right and wrong, of faith and hope and purity are imprinted upon the plastic heart, and all the sorrows and perplexities of after life are in- efficient to quite efface these first de¢p true impressions. Sweet home, whers the mother’s gentle hands prepare the little domestic comforts that a father’s love provides, and filial affection is “the silver link, the silken tie” that binds the household band together. Trials may come and clouds may lower, but in the seclusion of home remains sweet healing for the wounds that brave and sensitive hearts hide from a disdainful world. There these hurts and distresses may be confidently re- vealed, and a sovereign remedy found in its unquestioning faith. There a child’s pure kiss or the touch’ of dim- pled finger may revive a soul on the verge of despair; and in the home the brightest dreams become more golden, the rarest pleasure more intense, the tenderest joys more serene. And if, in the varying decrees of fortune, its lov- ing shelter must be abandoned, how the exile folds about his heart, as the traveler does his cloak, the memory of its lights and flowers, its loves and hopes and kindnesses. There the noblest influences exist, the Loliest impulses find expression, and there have been born the chaste and lofty sentiments that have made a whole world better. ——— A YEAR OF BLOOD. The year of 1903 will long be remem- bered in the home of F. N. Tacket, of Alliance, Ky., as a year of blood ; which flowed so copiously from Mr. Tacket’s lungs that death seemed very near. He writes: “Severe bleeding from the lungs and a frightful cough had brought me at death’s door, when I began tak- ing Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con- sumption, with the astonishing result that after taking four bottles I was completely restored, and as time has proven, permanently cured.” Guaran- teed for Sore Lungs, Coughs and Colds, at E.

A report from Cumberland, Md, states that the Standard .Oil Company is about to take up options on property in Garrett county for the purpose of drilling for oil. The officials of the Oil Company said that they had received no information regarding the project, and that all matters of this kind were handled from the New York office., The general feeling here is that after an adequate test has been made, and should the wells show signs of panning out, it is not improbable that the Stand- ard Oil Company will take hold of the proposition. The pipe lines of the company now run through that section of the country near the locality in which the options are being secured, so it is pointed out that should Garrett county develop into an oil-producing section, it would be an easy matter to pipe the oil. It is said that the options are being taken up in the vicinity of Finzel. Several test wells have been sunk in this vicinity, and although signs of oil were seen, the work was not pushed forward. The wells were started by a syndicate composed of Baltimore and Washington capitalists, and Ex-Con- gressman William H. Jackson was president of the company, and it is now believed that the latter company will make a thorough test.—Oakland Jour- nal. No. 6106.

Stories of the Nation’s ‘Rapid Transit Line” to the Golden West. In 1817 the National Road extended from Cumberland to the West. In 1822 the pike was built from Hagers- town to Cumberland, and about the same time the highway was extended to Baltimore. Along with the comple- tion of the pike came “line teams” through from the west. These were great wagons with rear wheels 10 feet high, drawn by six horses and making almost as fast time as the stages or a modern freight train. They carried bacon and other western produce to the markets to sell. On the return trip they carried dry goods and groceries for some western store to be reached possibly by boat from Wheeling. The days of the old National pike were romantic times. The sight of distinguished men of the nation was common to our people. In 1841 Gen- eral W. H. Harrison on his way to the White House by stage stopped at the old Barton House in Hancock. Black Hawk, the famous Indian chief, stop- ped there. Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Davy Cockett, James K. Polk and Zachary Taylor were familiar fig- ures at the breakfast table in the old Barton House, here. Jackson and Clay were favorites, and always drew big crowds, to whom they invariably delivered addresses. The venison, bear steaks, and hot bread, the ham and eggs of the Barton House were famous in those days. The price of a meal was 95 cents, and a glass of whiskey cost 5 cents. Andrew Jackson one morning toasted on ham and eggs, and was so pleased that he gave the old “black mammy” cook a silver dollar. Coaches in those days rushed along at 12 miles an hour. The first coach used was a clumsy affair, carrying 18 passengers. Many stories are told of the old coaching days. It was a fa- vorite amusement among passengers to hold out letters to country people, to gee them run after the stage. D. Ostor, of Williamsport, on one occasion drag- ged a joker from his stage and thrashed him. The scenery along the National pike from Clearspring, through Hancock, to Sideling Hill, is of romantic beauty—a succession of wooded ridges and sylvan dells with a wealth and variety of veg- etation most enchanting. At Hancock the traveler from the west got his first glimpse of the C. & O. canal—then building, and a work of national im- portance, which John Quincy Adams pronounced to be more wonderful and stupendous than any of the seven won- ders of the ancient world.—Hancock Star.

We are under obligations to the fac- ulty and students of the Pennsylvania State College for an invitation to be present at the college on Pennsylvania Day, Friday, Nov. 23d, when the follow- ing program will be rendered : TWO HISTORICAL MARRIAGES. amre— The eternal feminine delighting at al times in things matrimonial will lay aside reports of social doings at the summer resorts and advertisements o’ new fangled fruit cans to read about a wedding, even if it did oceur nigh on te three hundred years ago. In this case there are two, and it is doubtful if an account of them would be dug up at the present time, were it not that they have to do indirectly with the Jamestown Expositien, whieh is to be held next year at -a point not tar from the scene of both these earl social events. F. F. V’s were not heard of in those days, but for real. Simon pure F. F. V. ism, the first of these nuptials had the latter day so- ciety lashed to the mast, in fact i marked the beginning of the first fam- ily of Virginia. The second was the first instance of title-hunting in Amer- ica, with the reversed conditions that the bride, an American, had the title. and the hunter was the untitled Eng- lishman. There were no bridesmaids. no dinners with terrapin and truffles, no checks for a million dollars, and nc press accounts of the trousseau, but there were some distinguished people present, and in same way the news leaked out. te The first installment of Jamestown settlers was a stag outfit with suck noble old rounders as Capt. John Smith in the bunch, but never a petti- coat, and no wonder things didn’t gr just right. In the absence of thi gentle influence one can fancy the doughty Captain and Old’ Sport Pow- hatan pitching horseshoes for tobacec (Powhatan’s tobacco) under Powha- tan’s oak, and getting tipsy on Dismal Swamp water. But when the second contingent 0° settlers arrived, there were two ladies among them, or rather one lady, Mis- tress Forest, and her maid, Anne Burras. Imagine the rubbering that took place when the flags of their femininity were seen to flutter on the docks of Jamestown. There was onc citizen of the town that wasn’t slow. This was John Laydon. At lovemak- ing he must have been a regular Cor- sair. He assailed the gentle Anne with horse, foot and dragoons, sabred her coyness, rode over her objections. broke down her defenses, forcibly seiz ed her consent and bore her away te the altar before she had begun to feel at home. Just two months after she landed in America this fourteen-year old maid had changed her name from Burras to Laydon. It is conjecture( that Capt. Smith gave away the bride All this happened in December, 160% and the next year John and Anne pre sented to the worthy Council of Vir ginia the first child born of Englisi parents in the Colony. “It” was a gir! and she was called Virginia. In 163: when Virginia was 21, the Virgini. Court officially recognized this import- ant event by presenting to the dis tinguished young lady five hundrec acres of land in Elizabeth City county Va., which lies just across Hamptos Roads from the Jamestown Expositior grounds. It may be interesting te note that three other daughters cam to bless the Laydons—Catharine, Alic- and Margaret. That other wedding was the title- hunting affair. It seems that Joh Rolfe, Secretary of the Colony of Vir ginia, succeeded in convincing the roy- Addresses—Hon. Robt. 8. Murphy, Lieutenant Governor-Elect ; Hon.

Shidler, of Osce- ola, Ind., mention of which was made in these columns a couple of weeks ago: The ceremoney took place at noon, | Eld. H. W. Kreighbaum officiating. Mr. David Motts, of Osceola, acted as groomsman, and Miss Mamie Rodamer, of Springs, Pa., as bridesmaid. About thirty guests witnessed the ceremony, and an elegant wedding din- ner was served. Mr. and Mrs. Shidler have already begun house-keeping at Osceola, and Tar STAR trusts that their home will be a happy and prosperous one. —— HAD A CLOSE CALL. «A dangerous surgical operation, in- volving the removal of a malignant ul- cer, as large as my hand, from my daughter’s hip, was prevented by the application of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve,” says A. C. Stickel, of Miletus, W. Va. “Persistent use of the Salve completely cured it” Cures Cuts, Burns and In- juries. store. 12-1 al maiden, Pocahontas, that Capt. Joh Smith was dead, and, believing him dead, she yielded to the importunitie. of Rolfe and married him. That sh- loved Smith first and always is th- conclusion of many who are familia with the annals of the colony. Whe after her marriage she met him i London, she exclaimed: “They tol me always that you were dead.” Thos words told of the tragedy of a heart. THE BLANKS WE KEEP.
