LANCASTER, w. T., SATURDAY, JULY 81. 1914

The idea you can get along without;
the beef you must have. Do not then
allow any refined sentimentalism to
interfere with what ndicious and cal
culating parents call an advantageous
settlement.
Young girls will have twinges of the
heart strings we know, but these are
like other complaints, Incidental to
youth, they go away suddenly with
out any bad effects. Dyspepsia often
produces melancholy, which is attri-
buted TO disappointed affection but
bran bread and apple sauce will readi-
ly remove this complaint.
Some girls have imaginations so ten
der, that they believe themselves in
love with every man who saysa cival
thing to them. These unfortunate crea-
lures should use the shower bath eve
ry morning, and take frequent exer-
else on horseback.
Romance should be confined to cir
culating libraries and boarding schools:
it is we'll enough in these places, but
out Of them, it is sadly in the way. 1t
is very apt TO take bread and butter
out of ones mouth, and it is curl
Gus fact in physics that though love
causes the heart to swell, it never fills
an empty stomach.
If "a man falls in love with you, in
stead of ascertaining the color of his
eyes, find out the length of his purse; ;
instead of asking his age, get list of
his effects. If these make goodly
appearance, never mind his looks, but
conclude the bargain at once. You
will learn to love him, when you find
the necessity of such passion. In the
meantime, endure him.
There used to be many A!onzoes
and Melissas in the world, and there
was much misery in consequence
Nowadays, people are more sensible.
They have an eye TO the real; they are
matter of fact, and see more substantial
comforts in a we'll furnished home,
than dozen sonnets; more beauty in a
beautifully supplied table, than score
of love letters. All this betrayS a good
deal of sound sense, which maidens
would do well TO profit by.-[Noah's
Messenger.

ENGLISH OAK.

England, from time immemorial, has
been celebrated for the quantity and
durability of its oak. In no other
country, we presume, has this species
of wood been so extensively used fol
building purposes-and in none, GER
tainly, does it flourish with better sue
cess, or, in the condition of tim Der, en-
dure to greater age. Being of a firm,
close texture, often beautifully variega-
ted, and susceptible of high polish,
under the hands of the artist, it is ex-
tensively employed in the manufacture
Of furniture and Of articles of ornament
and taste. Most of the old Baronial
halls are furnished with oaken pannels,
doors, and floors Westminster Hall,
so celebrated in the Judicial history OF
Great Britain, is an instance to the
point. Edward the confessor's throne,
is of oak, and is now nine hundred
years old! In Westminster Abbey
there is one Of the coronation chairs,
also of English oak, which has occu-
pied its present situation for more
Than five hundred and forty years.
The most ancient wood bridge, of
which history has transmitted US any
account, is at Rome. It's of oak, and
the same which was so heroically de-
Tended by Horatios Coolies, and which
is known to have existed Eve hundred
years before Christ!
Wallace's oak, at Ellerslie, in Scot
land, IS of great antiquity. The oak
is said by naturalists to exist thou
sand years in a healthy state, and often
to much greater age; probably, ia
some instan ces, to twelve or fifteen
hundred.

A SECOND WALK IN FLORENCE.

A SECOND WALK IN FLORENCE;
Our former walk ended before the
doors of the Baptistery. If you will
meet me there again in fancy, at the mo-
ment that the bell is toling with single,
or double, or triple strokes, Sounds
which TO New Yorker convey the
idea of Fire districts, but which here
have even a sadder meaning) you will
see a number of persons, whose dress
denotes great difference Of rank, hasti-
ly enter a small building near you, and
soon reappear enveloped from head to
foot in black shroud which covers even
their faces, and is only pierced with
two small holes for the eyes. Nothing
can be more horribly hideous than this
costume before you know the errend
Of those who wear it, hut it becomes
positively beautiful when you learn
that they are" Congregations del
la Misericordia," or brotherhood
Of Mercy" Follow their rapid steps,
and you will see them enter some poor
house, the master of which has been
suddenly stricken with violent disease,
or has met with some dangerous acct
dent, demanding immediate succor,
They place him in covered litter,
as tenderly as if he was their brother
by nearer ties than those of Adam, and
raising the litter to their shoulders, six
of them bear it carefully TO the hospital,
while others follow behind, to take their
turn in the service Of charity. Their
gloomy costume is assumed that their
good deeds may not be known, and the
Grand Duke Of Tuscany himself is en-
rolled in their number, and often Sc
cretly assists in the pious duty. The
Brotherhood was instituted in the year
1914, when pestilence desolated tho
city, and was composed Of sevonty-two
chief brethren-priests, gentlemen, and
artists--representing the higher cas-
ses and hundred and five others ofthe
people. A single stroke of the bell
summons them to an ordinary accident;
two strokes to more serious case; and
three to bear a corpse TO the church.
At the sound they leave the business
or the theatre, or the society in which
they may be engaged, and hasten TO
their place of meeting, rich and poor
side by side, feeling that "a touch of
nature makes the whole world akin"
When they have quilted the house Of
the unfortunate whom they have borne
away, his suffering family will find
that some one of their unknown bene-
factors has left behind liberal aims.
Such arc some Of The good deeds Of this
people, who are SO often slantered, as
being treacherous, revengeiul and un-
principled, inasmuch as they are Xai-
ia1aS, and as being superstitious, bigoted
& immoral, inasmnch as they are Cath-
oIicS. When we add this to the thou
sand other examples of practical piety
toward the "widow and the fatherless,"
and of unsparing and unsclfsh charity
toward all men, which irradatc the
gloom Of this lovely but fallen country,
we Protestants might better initiate
their practice than assail their princi-
Piles, and the best among us might
proftably $50 and do likewise"

SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES
"These were more noble than those
in Thessalonica, in that they received
the word with all readiness of mind,
and searched the Scriptures daily,
whether those things were so. There
fore, many Of them believed" Acts
II, The truth Of the remark con-
tanned in the latter clause Of this verse
is clearly illustrate by the way in
which the .AdCent vie,0S have been re-
ceived Those who diSbeHepe them,
do not deny that the "Millerites" have
searched" the holy pages diligently
and prayerfully; mo, indeed, for with
some, conStantiy searching them is
deemed sign or test of"Millerism;"
while at the same time, those who do
mol thus search, and "therefore," do
mt thus believe, admit their neglect OF
the necessary investigation. Now.
what is the natural inference heref--
Whv that these two facts in Iuxtaposl-
ton from a solid and lucid argument

fists, and if it must be said, by way oil

Ben battle was soldier bold,
And used to wars alarms;
But cannon ball took off his legs,
So he laid down his arms.
Now as they bore him off the field,
Said he "Let others shoot,
For here leave my second leg.
And the Forty-second Foot"
The army surgeons made him limbs;
Said he they're only pegs; ~
But there's as wooden members quite
AS represent my legs"
Now Ben he loved pretty maid,
Her name was Nelly Gray;
So he went to pay her his devours,
When he'd devourod his pay!
But when he called on Nelly Gray,
She made him quite scott,
And when she saw his wooden legs,
began 10 take mem OH.
"Oh. Nelly Gray! Oh. Nelly Gray!
Is this your love so warm!
The love that loves scarlet coat,
Should be more uniform"
Said she, IL loved soldier once,
For he was blithe and brave;
But will never have man
With both legs in the grave!
Before you had those timber toes.
Your love did allow,
But then, you know, you stand upon
Another footing now"
"Oh, Nelly Gray! Oh, Nelly Gray!
For all your jeering speeches,
At duty's call, l left my legs
In Badajos's breeches!"
'Whythen,' said she, you've lost the fee
Of legs in wars alarms,
And now you cannot wear your shoes
Upon our fea,s of armsr
"Oh, false and ficSle Nelly Gray;
know why you refuse;
Though I've no feet-scme other man
Is standing in my shoes.
III wish | had ne'er seen your face;
But, now, long farewell!
For you will be my death;-alas.
You will moi be my NELLr'
Now when he went from Nelly Gray.
His heart so heavy got.
And life was such burden grown,
II made him take knot!
So round his melancholy neck,
A rope he did entwine,
And, for the second time in life,
Enlisted in the Line!
One end he tied around beam,
And then removed his pegs,
And, as his legs were off-of course,
He soon was off his legs!
And there he hung till he was dead
AS any nail in town
For though distress had cot him up,
1t could not cut him down.

CHEcKING UP HoRsEs--A mong the
various modes invented for torturing,
without any adequate benefit, that no.
bic beast, the horse, one, in its excess
at least, entitled to some prominence,
is the present mode Of checking him.
A horse that has been accustomed to
it from colt, and has never been used
for heavy drlughts, will perform in
light vehicle without any inconven-
ience. When horse is called upon,
however, to draw a heavy load over
uneven ground the case is different.
He then needs a free use of his head
and neck, and naturally inclines them
downward. TO check up stage team
till their necks reach an angle Of forty
five degrees horses, too, which have
been raised on farm, are unaccustom-
ed to it----and then force them to draw
the heavy coach with mails, baggage,
and ten passengers, through continuous
miles Of mire, is a piece Of cruelty alt
tie too severe. 1t is as if---only nun
dred times worse---you should take a
farmer who had been accustomed TO
easy labor in his loose trowsers and
frock and put on tight pants strapped
snugly down; vest and coat fitted and
glrt up a Ia danay, and then put dull
scsthe into his hands, and pointing to
grass of three tons to the acre, tell
him TO NOW. We saw noble farm
horse the other day, which had been
so unlucky as to fall into the hands of
somebody who wanted to cut a dash,
with his head drawn up till his eyes
semed to be starting from their sockets,
unable to turn eirther way, and SEEM
ing to be in intolerabe pain. Besides
being cruel, we do not believe it pays.
