For Congressmen-at-large, OALU8HA A. GROW, of Susquehanna County. SAMUEL L. DAVENPORT, of Erie County. Editorial, WHERE TO ADVERTISE. A little booklet bound in red, size 18 inches by W. D. Boyce, of Chicago, callod " Census figures for advertisers" giving some interesting facts. The population of the United Btates by the last report is 82,622,60, and the average number of persons to each family, 5.5 subdivided as follows : Urban population 17,380,674 Suburban " 35,056,681 Rural " 10,175,895 The percentage of the three classes being Urban, Suburban, 56; Rural, 16. The book says that the 27 per cent, can be reached by the daily newspapers, but the great bulk of the remaining 72 per cent, rely on the big weeklies, local weeklies and ' agricultural publications for the news of the world. The moral is advertise in your local papers. Under the rules of rotation in this Senatorial district the next state Sen ator will go to the Democrats of Monroe. But if Monroe would for get her duty to Pike in the Congress ional, would Milford honor Strouds burg's call on the Senatorship I Le bighton Record. The firemen prompt in action as is befitting, met this week to' arrange for a Fourth of July celebration in Milford, This action is eminently proper and timely. No reason ex ists why we should not furnish the people of the town and sur rounding country with a pleasant and patriotio time. There is talent hereto provide a first-class celebra tion. All the citizens should enter into the matter with zeal, and heartily co-operate with the firemen in their laudable undertaking, The Lehighton Advocate wants to know why tne Reoord supported the late Major Blots two years ago as Carbon's choloe. It was neces sary to do that in order to break Northampton's vioious hold up on .the Congressional apple. As against Northampton Carbon had a right to contend. And it was Car- bon's firm stand in that contest that gave the little counties a chance. Pike won the prize and is entitled to a second term under all laws of poli tics. Carbon's turn will oome next, then the Advocate will have a li cense to make a fight for anybody it choses. But to mix the Demo crats of Carbon in a factional quar rel at this time is suicide for the county ticket and will avail the Con gressional aspirant nothing. Le highton Record. It is nearly May 1st soon the boarders will be looking around for places to spend the summer. Is Milford taking on any holiday at tire to greet them is she even me tophorically speaking washing her faoef Borne have dope what they could in the way of removing ob structions from the streets, which never should have boon pla-nod there but our town oountill and street commissioners, or haven't we any, are they all idle myths, mere va porers and gasconaders. Nature has done much for us, is doing all she can, but our officials by their in action are more than her equal In un doing her work. O, oome please get a move on you, and if you can't, resign In a body, in favor of some one who can and will. Don't be blisters even a running sore is bet ter. The Rev. T.. J. Lee, who discov ered and disclosod the theft of the sermon which Dr. Morgan preachod in New York on Easter Sunday, has been Recused of tho same offense. He is charged with cribbing the class ode he prepared for commence ment when he graduated from Yale, from a poem of Rev. Drydon Phelps. The similarity of thought and phras ing is rather remarkable in the first stanza, beyond that tho coincidence does not go. Whether Mr. Lee ap propriated the thought and in part the language of Rev. Fholjis in his poom. does not alter the fact in re gard to Dr. Morgan. It is natural as a rule for college boys to evade the labor of orglnating their literary productions, while they have groat ambitions to be considered as high ly orginal. There is no need to apo logize for Mr. Loo, apparently he hos been hoist with his own petard, let him come down as gracefully as he can. His offense does not mitl gate or palliate that of Dr. Morgan who it is evident appropriated an entire sermon, and his excuse that he was oveiweory is no defonoe for his wholesale deception. Nor is Dr, Morgan's or Mr. Lee's lapsus, any serious charge against tho clergy. They are but human and occasional ly one will err. If they can prosont truth as formulated by others more effectively than in their own langu ate it is pardonable and no discredit of. THE LADIES' COLUMN. We wish to suggest to the ladies that this column is always open to any and all who wish to suggest domestic subjocts of any nature whatever, either to ask advice or furnish information to others, and we earnestly hope all readers of the Press and who desire will avail themselves of the opportunity, and thus receive as well as confor bene fits. To Remove Ink From Papes: Take a teaspoon of chlorinated lime and pour on it enough water to cov er, take a piece of old linon and mois ten by putting on it. Do not rub. If one application does not remove the stain let the paper dry and ap ply again. . A Good Cough Remedy : An ex cellent remedy for a cough is mode by slicing two lemons thin and add ing ten cents worth of whole flax seed, ten cents worth of licorice root and one gill of water, some sugar, boil until quite thick and strain. Take frequently a toaspoonful of the mixture. An All-nioht Candle : A small piece of candle may be made to burn all night by putting finely powdered salt on it until it reaches the black part of the wick. An even light may be kept this way. Planked Shad: We have been requested to furnish a recipe for "planked shad." Procure an oak plank two and a half inches thick, this should be made smooth and slightly hollowed on one side. Place in the oven until very hot. Split the shad in halves down the back and lay on the plank skin Bide next to plank. Season with salt and pepper, put bits of butter all over it and bake until a deep brown. Garnish with parsley and slices of lemon. Epicures think shad should never be cooked in any other way, and it is considered quite proper to serve at table on the plank which is placed on a china meat or fish plate. Shad Roe Omelette : One large fresh shad roe break np thoroughly in a bowl removing all skin, season with salt, pepper and parsley. Break in it two eggs and two table spoons melted butter. Fry in hot drippings or butter. Mash the cakes out well and cover to prevent spat tering. M. K, D. ubscribe for the ss Young Men and Marriage. BY RKV. MADISON 0. PKTF.RS, I). D. It is the purpose of this article to find marks of a true wife by which young men may be helped in choos ing a life-partner. Beginning in the unromantio fashion, I say to the young mam You want a good housekeeper. Wife is an Anglo Saxon word, and means weaver. Before our groat cotton and cloth factories arose, one of the principal employments in every homo was the fabrication of clothing ; every family niado its own. The wool was spun into thread by tho girls, who wore thorofore called spinsters ; the thread was woven iuto cloth by their mother, who was colled the woavor, or wife. You don't want a doll, or some thing too fine, too ethereal, for real use. Tho ideals of womanhood in novels liavo all thoir loveliness shat tered in a day by tho rough tisngo of real life. Wordsworth paints the woman you want : A creature not too bright or Rood For huninii nature's daily fissl, The renson firm, the temperate will, KtiritirniH, fortnight. Rt tvngth, and skill; A ierfcct woman, nofily planned, To worn, to comfort, and command, And yet a spirit., mill and liriif 1 1 1, With something of an angel light. Good housekeeping has far more to do with domestio happiness than young lovers dream of. I believe that these times nend women whose most beautiful work will bo dono In side their own doors. Without good housekeeping the romnnco will soon go out of marriage. Of course, the man who prizes woman chiefly be cause she "looketh well to tho ways of her household" does not deserve to have a good wife, no should merely employ a housekeeper, and pay her good wages. But there are social, moral, and spiritual uses, proceeding from tho wise regula tion of tho.housohold, which bestow a dignity on what would otherwise be trifling. No matter what a girl's accomplishments may be, her edu cation is incomplete, if she has not some knowledge of bake-ology, boil ology, roast-ology, stitch-ology, and mond-ology. Even if a girl should never bo required to do the work horsolf, she ought to know whothor it is dono in a proper manner. The greatest dofoct in our social system is the aimless way in which our girls are brought up. Many of them are prepared in neither body or mind for the lofty duties and seri ous responsibilities which marriage Implies, and marriage, in conse quence, has been brought down to a low, sensual plane. Let our girls be brought up to have their, regular daily domostio dutios, let idloness be forbiddon them, and let evory wo man be clothed with the dignity of a useful life. With Dr. J. G. Hol land, we boliove that there is but one cure for many of our social evils, "universal housekeeping." Again, I counsol evory young man who is seeking a wife to look woll to the tempor of the girl he thinks of marrying.... Even if she is a model housekeepor.boautiful in face, grace ful in manner, and majestic as a goddess, still, if she has a violent tempor,you had bettor live on alone. Socrates said that he married Xan tippe and endured her for self-dis cipline. The men who look at the subjoct in that light are like the great phllosophor, dead. Solomon, who was not lacking in experience, took a difforont view: "It is bettor to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman in the wide house." John Wesley's wife used to sit in the mid dle of tho aisle in City Road Chapel, and make mouths at him while he preached. One day he spoke of the slandors which were being uttered against him, and declared that he had been accused of every Bin and crime except drunkenness. Where upon his wife arose and accused him of having been drunk, and the founder of Methodism exclaimed : "Thank God, the catalogue is com plete?" John Wesley was qualified to give good counsol. A young man asked his advice about marrying, He hod two girls in mind. One was of a gentle and loving disposition, but not a professing Christian. The other was a church member, and active in every good work, but she was hot-headed and fiery-tempered Which would Mr. Wesley advise him to marry ? Promptly came the answer : "Marry the woman of lov ing disposition." Charles Swain truthfully sings : There' is not a cheaper thing on earth, Nor yet one-half ho dear: 'Tis worth more than distinguished birth. ur tnousauus guinea a year, It maketh poverty content, To Morrow whistlers peace; It Is a gift from heaven tent, For mortal to increase. A charm to banUh grief away, To free the brow from cam Turns team to smile, makes dullness gay, Spreads gluduoas everywhere. And yet 'tin cheap as summer' dew That gem the lily's breast A talisuiou for luve as true As ever uiau poBScsaod. As smiles the rainbow through the cloud When threatening storms begin: As music 'mid the tempest loud That still iu sweet ways wins; As springs an arch across the tide When waves nnnfllctlno' foam. Bo comes the seraph to our side. I he angel to our home. What may this wandering spirit be, yYlth power nnheard Iw'toret This charm, this bright divinity f Gtss! nature nothing more. Giwsl tetner 'tis tie choicest gift That woman homeward brings, And can the poorest peasant lilt 10 miss unknown to Kings. Notice of Application for Amendment of Charter. .
