Evening | Reveries. | ment. Tide, We think that with most of us our personal surroundings wield a great inflaence in making us happy or other- wise. We should therefore strive to make them always as pleasant as pos- sible. So far as our means permit we should seek to adorn our homes with all that is bright and pleasant. We are all familiar with the boarding house advertisements which promise “all the comforts of home” for a few dollars per week, and though such advertise- ments are always sadly delusive, yet they are the strongest possible tribute to the fact that civilized man’s highest ideal of happiness is in the life of the home. The secret of suceess in life is to keep busy, to be persevering, patient and untiring in the pursuit or calling you are following. The busy ones may now and then make mistakes, but it is better to risk these than to be idle and inactive. Keep doing, whether it be work or recreation. Motion is life, and the busiest are the happiest. Cheerful, active labor is a blessing. An old philosopher says: “The firefly only shines on the wing.” So it is with the mind ; when once we rest, we darken. Ask yourself hard questions about man you say you are; if you are always honest ; if you always tell the square, perfect truth in business deals; if your life is as good and upright at eleven o’clock at night as it is at noon; if you are as good a temperance man on fish- ing excursions as you are at a Sunday school picnic; if you are as good when you go out to the city as when you are at home; if, in short, you are the sort of a man your father hopes you are and your sweetheart believes you to be. REAL HOMES. There are husbands and wives whose love is so deep that each cares only to have what will do best for the other and for their children. These men and women belong to no particular class, they are to be found among the highly educated and luxurious classes, in the great middle classes and among the laboring people. Such folks are honest in their affections, honest with each other and honest with the world. Their homes are not places for show, but what the name implies—places of rest, happiness and inspiration of good work. These homes may consist of only two or three rooms or may be palaces, yet the influence is always good. It is al- ways such homes that make the world sweeter and better, and experience shows us that they are common in our country. The chief cause of unhappiness in life is discontent. It is a pecular foible in human nature seldom or never to be satisfled with our own lot, and to be always envying that of some one else, entirely losing sight of the fact that no one can escape trouble, no matter what line of life he may adopt, and that no matter how bad his lot may seem he can always find many whose situations are infinitely worse. THE MAN WHO LAUGHS. The man whose “ha! ha!” reaches from one end of the street to the other may be the same fellow who scolds his wife and spanked his baby before he got his breakfast, but his laughter is only the crackle of thorns under the pot. The man who spreads his laugh- ter through his life—before late break- fast, when he misses the train, when his wife goes visiting, and he has to eat a cold supper ; the man who can laugh when he finds a button off his shirt, when the furnace fire goes out in the night and both of the twins come down with the measles at the same time— he’s the man that’s needed. He never tells his neighbor to have faith. Somehow Le puts faith into him. He delivers no homilies; the sight of his beaming face, the sound of his hap- py voice, and the sight of his blessed daily life, carry conviction that words have no power to give. The blues flee before him as the fog before the west wind. He comes into his own home like a flood of sunshine over a meadow of blooming buttercups, and his wife and children blossom in his presence like June roses. His home is redolent wich sympathy and love. The neigh- borhood is better for his life, and some- body will learn of him that laughter 1s better than tears. The world needs this man. Why are there so few like him? Can he be cre- ated? Can he be evolved? Why is he not in every house, turning rain into shine and winter into summer all the year round until life is a perpetual sea- son? HUSBAND AND WIFE. Of the union of husband and wife, which is the most intimate and confi- dential relationship on earth, there must be something more than super- ficial admiration, one for the other. These two have pledged to one another a lifelonglconsecration. (Their interests are to be in common. Nothing can af- fect one without equally affecting the other. For weal or woe they have joined hands, and to the whole outside world they present a united front, And yet if testimony should be taken, it would be found that many married people have not been perfectly happy during the years of wedlock. There has been friction. There has been dis- appointment. The little rift has been suffered to open the way for estrange- ment. “We decided,” said 2 man whose long life has been singularly tranquil and satisfactory— “we decided, my wife and I, when we were married, that we should never let the sun go down on any lack of peace between us. We would ask one another’s pardon if nee- essary, but we would never quarrel. One or the other should always give up a point on which both could not .| agree, and whatever else came to us, we resolved to have no discord.” Lend a helping hand. If a man is unfortunate, try to lift him up. The people who knew this or that was go- ing to happen, the “I told you so” peo- ple, are a detriment to the community. If they would always say a good word instead of a discouraging one, how much better things would be.

On the last day of the old year = goodly number of our people assemble« in the Brethren church, at 9 o’elock p m., where a watch meeting was hel until the new year was ushered in. The meeting was held under the auspices of the local W. C.T. U., and « very interesting program, consisting o’ songs, recitations, addresses, etc., was rendered. - Mrs. Annie Emerick presided over the meeting, and appropriate addresse: were made by Revs. H. 8. May, L. F Young and L. Z. Robinson, also b? Mrs. Jones, county president of the W C.T.U.,and by Mr. Green, a schoo! teacher of Garrett county, Md. The program was very interesting and appropriate, and the meeting wa. greatly enjoyed by all. One of the most pleasing features of the entire program consisted of some pretty song-~ sung by the little folks. THE RIGHT NAME. Mr. August Sherpe, the popular over seerer of the poor, at Fort Madison, Ia-- says: “Dr. King’s New Life Pills ar rightly named ; they act more agreea bly, do more good and make one fee: better than any other laxative.” Guar anteed to cure biliousness and consti pation. 25c. at E., H. Miller's dru store. 2-1 A Panther Scare. Yesterday morning about 8 o’clec! while Silas Durst and another ma were plowing in a field near the art. sian well, up Meadow run, their horse: - became badly frightened by the scream ing noise of some wild beast in th- woods just outside of the field. Th horses refused to proceed any farther toward the woods, and while the me: could not see the animal for the dens fog and the underbrush, they coul nevertheless tell by the blood-curdlin, noises that a fierce wild animal wa: not far away. Mr. Durst has heard many a wildea: squall, but he says in this instance th: prowler of the jungle was not a wilc cat. Old hunters like Alfred and Sila: Wagner are of the opinion that tb animal was without doubt a panthe: judging from Mr. Durst’s description « the various noises it made. The locality spoken of is about 1}. miles southeast of Salisbury, near th. foot of Meadow Mountain, wher panthers have been frequently sees. and heard during years that are past. The next time Mr. Durst goes ou plowing on that portion of his farm b will doubtless take a pocket cannon c. a battle ship with him. New Year Reflections. Start right. Continue right. Wind up the year right. Resolve, and stick to it. Avoid past errors and mistakes. Profit by your follies, and be wiser. Be stable in your ways, strong in th right. Rebuke wrong, turn from sin, cling 1 the good. If you stumble, get up; if you fal. don’t give up. Attempt something, have a purpos:. persevere. Speak kind words often, harsh one very seldom. If you blunder, let it be on the sid- of right, rather than wrong. Don’t scowl, don’t frown, but wreath your face in smiles. Don’t drown yourself in doubt, bu: buoy up your life with hope. Be good-natured at home, good-na:- ured abroad, and you’ll live long 1 enjoy it. Be cautious in judging, great in fo: bearing, accuse little, forgive much. Accept our reflections, take this p:- per, read it carefully, send it to you friends, and may your New Year 1. happy, and all the year pleasant. pe IF YOUR BUSINESS will not sta: advertising, advertise it for sale. Y. cannot afford to follow a business th. will not stand advertising. ———————— | Mrs. Wilhelmina Paton Fle has received the unique distinetic of being elected a member of ti - Royal Astronomical Society of Lon don.
