A tramp got u night's lodging in tho
borough jail ono night last week
for drunkenness and profanity. This
borough needs u ball and chain to at
tach to all such chaps and compel thein
to work out their lines on tho streets.
Occasionally a disorderly chap Is con
fined In tho lock-up 48 or 72 hours, ac
cording to amount of the fine, and he
lias to bo fed, and in this manner he
pays the fine tho Mayor imposes upon
htra. If tho ball and chain woro
applied there would bo more respect for
the law by the disorderly follows of
town, and tramps, would pass by our
town. Soveral years ago there was some
tulk of tho ball and chain in Reynolds
vllle, hut it all ended In talk. Wo hope
that the town council will pass an ordi
nance In harmony with tho State law on
ball and chain punishment and at no
distant day tho punishment will bo more
severe for disorderly conduct in Reyn
oldsville than It now Is. Tho tramp
mentioned In tho beginning of this
article Insulted poople In places of busi
ness and cursed on the stroots all day
and was not arrested until evening. Ho
had no money and it would havo boon
an expense to the borough to have fed
lilm two or three days, and the punish
ment of being' confined In a warm place
- with a bunk to sleep on and something
to eat, would not be severe for a tramp,
so he was discharged next morning and
given a few minutes to leave town.
The ball and chain would have fixed
that tramp so that he would never have
come this way again.
The pursuit of pleasuro is a universal
lastinot throughout all animated nature,
says Lady Cook. The love of pleasure
Is as much a natural appetito as the
lovo of food. Wo may safely assume,
thore fore, that its gratification, when
rationally Indulged, serves some useful
and important purpose. All inquiry
not only confirms this, but shows that
pleasuro Is a necessity, morally, mental
ly and physically. If this bo so, tho
asceticism which condemns all pleasuro
is as Immoral as It is foolish. Our do
sires seek a great diversity of objects.
Theso may be worthy or unworthy, and
our methods of attaining thcra right or
wrong. But the end' purposed is
pleasure, and frequently its mere pur
suit brings about a modified gratifica
tion. There is a wido distinction how
ever, between pleasure and happiness,
because pleasure may bo virtuous or
vlolous, whereas happiness necessarily
consists in tho former. Socrates beauti
fully described happiness as "unropented
pleasure." And it must be self-evident
that the pleasures wbloh noed no re
pentanoe are those alone which are
worthy of attainment. Prudence . Is
their basis. The great founder of the
philosophy of pleasure, Epicurus, the
best abused and most misunderstood of
the Greek sages, said: "All other vir
tues grow from prudence, which teaches
that we cannot live pleasurably without
living Justly and virtuously, nor live
justly and virtuously without living
pleasurably." In these busy days, when
men and women, and too . frequently
children, are worked at high pressure,
, the need of pleasure becomes the great
er. ,lf suitable and properly enjoyed,
it 1 the aalt of good morals, keeping
them sound and sweet; the medicine
' of the mind, and the refresher of the
body. Kven harmless folly may occasion
Jly promote wisdom. As Horace said:
".Tin good, 'tie good at tiroes to play
the fool." To live and to eojoy life, baa
W-n r "rmed to be not only the fund
r i but the moat illustrious of our
t unions. .

HISTORY.
History Is a very interesting study.
It gives the record of our country from
tho first, settlement down to the pres
ent day. All should be familiar with
the leading facts In tho history of our
own country. It tolls us of how our
forefathers struggled to settle in the
wilderness, of tho grent war between
the mother country, England, and hor
colony, America, und how, In the end,
America camo forth victorious and
breathed tho pure nlr of freedom. It
tells of the dark day of rebellion be
tween those Btates so closely allied, but
right prevailed and thq United States
llftrd her head proudly again, scbrning
to tarnish her fair name with the numo
of slave. Tho North and South were
ro-unlted to stand henceforth Insepara
ble forever. It is Impossible for us to
appreciate our Inheritance as citizens
of the United States without a compre
hensive kuowledgo of theso facts.
History Is a story of patriotic suffer
ings, patient endeavors und wonderful
progress, that has niado tho U. S. a
light among tho nations of the earth.

"A little word In kindness spoken.
A mollon or a tear.
Mny tienl tho tietirt Mint's broken
Ami nuiku u friend slnrern."
This llttlo verse of poetry shows us
that If wespenkalittlo word of kindness,
it may, erehance, gain for us a friend.
Even If wo speak a word of kindness to
an enemy wo may win that enemy for a
friend. Our teacher does acts of kind
ness towards her pupils, therefore wo
try to reward bor kindness by being
kind to her and obedient to her wishes.
We should all try to bo kind to ono
another and If we see a fallen brother or
sister by tho waysido, if we speak to
him or her ono llttlo word of kindness,
that brother or sister may rlso up and
become one of the leading mon or
women of tho day. Let ns remember
that.
