In tho Sacred Book we road, "what
soever thy hnnd flndeth to do, do It
with thy might." hut It don't require a
closo observation to sen that there are
many people who would rather 1m Idle
than work. We clip tho following from
ono of Lady Cook's essays: "It In some
what singular that Idiotic and trentili
ty should Im popularly synonymous.
'The bntehir, tho baker, the candle
etiuk-maker,' and othor ti'H(1i'mon, bh
well as tho upper rank of business men,
jfiMioriilly look forward to the day the
happy day a they fondly dream when
they shall have made enough money to
retire from work and oan enjoy their
fitlum cum dltftiltute. There In some
thing natural ubout this. They are
then self-pensioned. They have earned
the rlpht to repose. They have fought
the battle of life and come off victorious
in a pecuniary sense. Whether they
cost asldo their old habits with ease and
find enjoyment In new ones. Is for their
own consideration only. Idle and addle
have the samn meaning, and, with all,
are derived from tho same word, which
signified to be sick, corrupt, void. An
idle person Is an uiling person, hIi Vc In
body and mind, corrupt In morals, void
of understanding. An idle life Is an
addled life, noxious, unproductive, and
dead to all goodness. Yet this Is tho
life which so many covet and others are
proud to possess. 'Nature fits all her
children with something to do,' said the
poet, and truly there Is so much to bo
done In this world physically, mental
ly, morally that It befits none to bo
Idle. There are Augean stables to be
cleansed, ancient and mighty wrongs to
be rectified, gravo abuses to bo re
dressed, and dense clouds of Ignorance
to be dispelled. The world mourns
from want, from misery and crime, and
'the dark places of the earth are full of
cruelty.' Power and Injustice trample
upon tho weak and tho Innocent. No
tion Is arming against nation, and 'a
man's foes are they of his own house'
bold.' Poverty prays In vain for its
daily breod. We see the Industrious
Idle from compulsion, and tho wicked
criminal from want of knowledge Our
boasted brotherhood la a poetic dream.
Each fights for his own hand, regardless
of others, and the end no man can for
see.
'flo many worlds, mi murh to do.
Ho little Uonu, lurh llilnun tu be.'
Surely humanity requires tho best
efforts of all Its members. This is no
place for idlers or lovers of false gentil
ity. There Is work to be done, serious,
patient, and persistent work, not the
service of tho slave, but tho cheerful
labor of the free man, full of loving-
kindness. The world Is still young, and
noble duties lie before it. As it grows
wiser it will grow happior, until love
supplants selllshness and becomes tho
universal law of Its being."
We have frequently heurd this re-
mark: "You cant believe half you
read In the dally papers,'' in which
there is too much' truth, for which
the dallies uro not solely to blame.
The newspapers and the readors there
of oro too often Imposed upon by cor
respondents that are more anxious
about tho small Bum of the "coin of tho
realm" thoy will recelvo for an Item
sent In than they ore about tho truth
fulness of tho news furnished. Tho
publishers of tho dalles hove to rely on
the correspondents entirely for the
truthfulness of the news received, as In
most all cases thoy are to far away to
make an investigation, and the corres
pondent too of ton takes advantage of
' this and "colors" an Item so It will be ao
ceptable and he will got a few pennies.
It la not an unfrequent thing for items
- to appear id the Pittsburg papers from
Iteynoldsvllle that are misleading, and
only partly true, which the citizens of
this place are not slow to And out, and
they are lead to make such remarks as
quoted in the beginning of this article.
" The following item, which was dated
Reynoldsvllle, Jan. 25th, appeared in
the Pittsburg Tmm Jan. 20th.
"A bagful of gold nuggets, was re
ceived at the First National bank hore
from Charles French, formerly a local
Insurance man, now In the Klondike.
French writes that bo has struck It
rich and before returning expects to
get a good share of tho Klondike gold.
me bag and lis contents, valued at
4,000, were displayed In the show win
dow of Hoffman's jewelery store yester
day. According to French's letter,
mere is mucn suffering and many
deaths among the gold-seekers. '
Charles French has not gone Into the
Klondike gold regions yet, nor does he
expect to reach that section of the
, globe until sometime in April or May.
Mr. French did not send a bagful of
gold nuggets to Reynoldsvllle. See ?
v Evangelists.
Mn. Eiiitom: It seems to mo that
mi glv tlii'se Itinerant evangelists
i much prnlsn, Some of the best
viingilists that ever sowed the
guild si iil i f the Word pt Clod have
n I'mmi pastors, who did nothing
vi 'i-y striking and startling, hut simply
followed this wise counsel of St. Paul
to all in iusl' 'r of the Gospel: "Do the
oi k of an evangelist, make full proof
of thy ministry."
If these Itinerants are really as useful
as the reports would Indicate, the wholo
town would long ago have been In the
household of faith, judging from the
number of new converts claimed at
the revival meetings.
The striking part of these evangelists
Is their dramatic way of making con
verts. If they would doiend lesson tho
sensational, tho exeUIng and the extra
ordinary and more on solid instruction,
s; me of us would not find It so difficult
to rejoice with them. There Is not so
much difference between making one a
Christian and making one a tnalhematl
clitn as some would dream. The main
thing In bolt) cases Is to be Instructed
in the science. Now the handbook of
Christianity Is tho Bible, and to become
a Christian Is to learn to follow its In
spired contents. It "Is profitable for
doetrlno, for reproof, for correction,
for Instruction In righteousness."
Where are all these new converts
now that have been reported In the last
twenty year? Why, there are not
enough In town now to support tho
churches without an occasional festival
to open their purses.

Boys and girls, what can we say that
wilt awaken you to a sense of your
duty ? It seems that "Uncle William's"
good ail vice that ho has given you from
time to time is of no avail, but rather
like seeds sown upon stony ground; It
bears no fruit, and in tho fnco of it all
you still contlnuo to fritter away the
golden moments, heeding tho many
warnings you have received no more
thnu the duck heeds tho raindrops that
palter upon Its back. You have now
reached the point where It meansolthor
success or failure, Tho Rubicon la be
fore you and must bo crossed. Aro you
ready for the declsivo plunge? Ask
yourselves the question. You are wast
ing so much of your time foolishly and
doing so many things that are and al
ways will be detrimental to your
chances of success. Let me illustrate
by a little story I read a long time ago
"There was once a boy who was heed
less and careless and whose father had
by good ad vice And othor means tried
to win htm from his wayward course,
but all of no avail. At Inst the father
hit upon this plan as a last resort. He
planted a new post In tho yard, bought
a keg of nails and a hammer, and one
evening, calling his son Into tho library,
said to him: 'John, I havo given you
good advice and endeavored In every
way in my power to show you tho error
of your ways, but my efforts in this
direction have had no effect.' Ho then
took him into tho yard, showed him the
post, nnils and hammer, and said to
him: 'Now, my son, every tlmo you do
a bail act I want you to coino hero nnd
drive a noil into this post, and every
time you do a good deed draw one out.
Tho boy did so and ere long the post
was driven full of nails. The boy
looked at it and when he saw how many
nails were In the post, silent witnesses
of his many bad deeds, ho became
ashamed of himself, repented of his
folly and began at onco to do bettor,
and for each good deed performed he
drow out a nail, keeping at it until they
wero all drawn out. Ho then went and
brought his father and said: "See,
father, the post was filled with nails,
but they aro all drawn out." "Ah! yes,
my son," answered the fathor, "the
nails are all out, but tho prints are still
there." All bad deeds leave their
mark somewhere. And remember, my
boys and girls, that you are but pursuing
the same course. You may turn and be
sorry for your heedlessness and careless
ness and do your duty nobly, but the
remembrance, and effect of your past
errors will remain lndolllbly fixed and
imprinted upon your life and memory
Below we give you some good advlco by
Mr. Gladstone Road It carefully and
profit thereby.
GLADSTONE TO YOUNO MEM.
What Mr. Gladstone has to say to
young men about success in life ought
to be worth reading and worth thinking
about, as the "Grand Old Man" Is fully
capable of giving good advice.
"Bo sure that every one of you has
his place and vocation on this earth,
and that it rests with himself to find it.
"Do not belie vo those who too lightly
say, 'nothing succeeds like success.'
Effort, honest, manful, bumble effort,
succeeds by Its re ducted action, es
pecially In youth, bettor than success,
which, Indeed, too easily and too early
gained, not seldom serves, like winning
tho first throw of the dice, to blind and
stupefy.
"Got knowlodgo, all you can.
"Be thorough in all you can do, and
remember that, though Ignorance may
be Innocence, pretension is always des
picable. Quit you like men; be strong
and exercise your strength.
"Work onward and work upward, and
may the blessing of the Most High
smooth your career, clear your vision,
and crown your labors with reward."
Robbed ths Crave.
A startling incident of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, Is narrated by blm as follows:
"I was In a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually In back
and sides, no appetite gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three phy
sicians bad given me up. Fortunately,
a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters,'
and to my great joy and surprise, the
first bottle made a decided improve
ment. I continued their use for three
weeks, and am now well man. I know
they saved my life and robbed the
grave of another victim." No one
should fall to try them. Only 60 cents
per bottle at H. A. Stake's Drug Store.

Nlman Cooper's Version.
EniTon The Stab: In your issue of
January 2Uh are statements made by
Jerry Allen that aro Incorrect, which,
with your permission, I would like very
much to rectify.
First. Jerry says W. N. Humphreys
and J. M. Humphreys wero the plain
tiffs and Ninlan Cooper the dependant,
but forgot to state that he was one of
the plaintiffs.
Second. Jerry says they never shor-
Iffed Ninlan Cooper. I say If W. N.
Humphreys and J. O. Allen did not
sheriff Ninlan Cooper their attorney,
George A. Junks, did. He brought suit
against Ninlan Cooper In tho namo of
Coohra.i Fulton for tho very same land
in dispute, as the records will show,
Cochran Fulton vs. Ninlan Cooper,
ejectment, No. 14, May term, 1SII0; sum
mons Issued Feb. 18th, 1WI0. Discon
tinued August 23, 1WI2. Then their
attorney, George A. Jenks. brought
suit again, as tho records will show,
Benjamin Rush Bradford vs. Ninlan
Cooper, No. 511, Sept. term, 1H77, Issued
July 27, 1877. Discontinued April 2th,
1882. And paid tho costs In both cases.
Third. Jerry says Ninlan Cooper
never forced them to a trial. Tho rec
ords will show that I served a rule of
equity on them and gave them six
months to either bring suit or drop the
case. Then W, N. Humphrey and J.
G. Allen brought suit agnlnst mn for
trespass and damages for over $9,000.00.
Are yon aware, Jerry, that thero ore
records In Brookvillo, or did you think
it was hanging on an ash tree in Mo
Connnll's lano ?
Fourth. Jorry says I avoided It to
the extent of offering a sum of money
for tho settlement or tho case. I never
denied offering them money. Jerry
kept blotting around for a compromise
and wanted me to meet them In Brook
vlllo, which I did. I told Humphrey
and Allen that I never had a suit in
court and I never was subpipnaed Into
court as a witness In my life, and rather
than go Into oourt I would give them,
as a donation, $200.00 to drop the case,
Now I want it distinctly understood
that, no matter what slang or abuse
Jerry Allen shall communicate through
the papors In this case, I will give It no
attention, but will disdain it with si
lonce, as the most of what I say can be
proven by tho records.
