All large cities have prominent feat.

the public at large, while knowledge of
the latter is mainly confind to residents.
Many men have no character at ALL
They glide along on the surface of society
like ship on the tide. Others have
character, but it is so near like that of the
great mass of men that it does not dislin.

without great height, acquire an unusual
thickness of trunk; or, let it attain all che

1t is precisely SO with individuals of the

Sharon Carter was born at Chester,
Delaware Co., Pa, Feb Is, 1879, and
consequently is now in the eighiy-sevsnth
year of his age. He has strong frame,
a forid complexion, which is very fair and
youthful, and predominance of the vital
temperament. He is Straight as an arrow,
broad-shouldered, deep through the chest,

He is picture of perfect health, has
rarely or never been sick in his life, and
to all appearance may live twenty years
longer.
His habits of life, which have contribu.
ted so largely to the maintenance of his
health and vital force, afford tkemo for
profitable contemplation, which we will re.
vert to after glancing at his history.
He was instructed in the coopering
business, and worked very hard in early
life, which served to promote deye iopment
and physical yigor. In 1899 he was mar
ried, and had five children, who are now
living. In 1909 he engaged largely in
the china business in Philadelphia-in
1915 travelled through Europe-and in
1924 failed in business in consequences OF
losses on large purchases made during
the war.
He has since followed the occupation Of
Collector, which has required him to be

A woman's Question.

BY ADELAIDE ANNE PRocrER.
BEFORE trust my Fate to thee
Or place my hand in thine,
Before let thy Future give
Color and form to mine,
Before peril all for thee, question thy soul
to night fer me.
break all slighter bonds, nor feel
A shadow Of regret;
Is there one link within the Past
That holds thy spirit yet;
Or is that Faith as clear and free az that
which can pledge to theep
Does there within thy dimmest dreams
A possible future shine,
Wherein thy life could henceforth breathe,
Untouched, unshared by mineP
If so, at any pain or cost, oh, tell me before
all is lost.
Look deeper still. If thou canst feel,
Within thy inmost soul,
That thou hast kept portion back,
While have staked the whole:
Let no false pity spare the blow, but in true
mercy tell me so.
Is there within thy heart need
That mine cannot fulfllp
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still
Speak NOVELIST at some future day my
whole life wthsr and decay.
Lives there within thy nature hid
The demon-spirit Change.
Shedding passing glory still
On all things new and stranger
1t may not be thy fault alone-but shield
my heart against thine own.
Could'st thou withdraw thy hand one day
And answer to my claim,
That Fate, and that to-day's mistake,
Not thou--had been to blame;
Some sooths their conscience thus : bnt thou,
o, surely, thou wilt warn me now.
Nay, answer not-I dare not hear,
The words would come too late;
Yet Iwould spare thee all remorse,
So, comfort thee, my Fate:
Whatever on my heart may fall-remember
WOULD risk it all.

instead Of facts from appearances, &c. we leave
the subject with . fcw general observations,
We regret that it has been necessary for us to
allude to this matter al all, but when the good
name Of our county is assailed, through State
document or otherwise. by q county officer or
other person whose position may give weight and
character to what he says at least where the facts
are not known, il is part of our duty to correct
false statements, and as far as possible, remove
erroneous impressions We are panied to reflect
that one who has been honored by the county,
through its authorized agent, should thoughtlsss-
ly use his position in such manner as to degrade
our entire people in the estimation Of all intelli-
gent persous. II he had said one favorable word
the case would have been different; but in his en-
tire letter he has looked upon the dark side Of the
picture aud manufactured statements TO sustain
himself We don't believe Mr.. Dodge meant to
wrong our county, but must attribute this very un-
wise production to youthful mdiscretion, ,prompted
probably, by those sour foslings which generally
follow the defeated hopes Of young aud over.anx-
ious and over-confdent oflice-seskers.

HOMEMADE CHIPS.
BY 2. Z. TAYLOR.


The printer is the adjutant of thought, and this
explains the mystery OF the WONDERFUL woru tnaI
can kindle hope as no song can-that can warm
O heart Us no hope can-that WORD " we with a
hand in-hand warmth in it, for the author and the
printer are engineers together Engineers indeed
When the little Corsican bombarded Cadiz at the
distance of five miles, it was deemed the very tri-
umph of engineering. But what is that paltry
range to this whereby they lombard the ages yet
30 be?
There, at the cease" he stands, and marshals
into line the forces armed for truth, clothed in I'M
moi tality and English. And what can be nobler
than that equipment OF a thought in sterling Sax
on-Saxon with the ring of spear on shield therein,
and that commissioning it when we are dead, to
move grandly on to "the latest syllable OF record
ed time This is to win a victory from death,
sor this has no dying in it. =,
The printer is called a laborer, and the office he
performs is toll. Oh, it is not work, but sub
lime rite he is performing, when he thus sights -
the engine, thai is to fling worded truth IN grand
or curve than missile eer before described-dng
it into the bosom of an age unborn. He throws
off his coat indeed We but wonder the rather,
that he does not put his shoes from OF his feet for
the place whereon he stands is holy ground.
A little song was uttered somewhere long ago
IL wandered through the twilight foeber than a
star it died upon the ear. But the printer take;
it up where it was lying there in the silence like
wounded bird, and he equips it anew with wings
and he sends it forth from the ark, that had pre-
served il, and it flies on into the future with the
olive branch of peace, and around the world with
melody like the dawning of spring morning.

A Wedding.

4 veddinp is a pretty sight, and there are few
,b;n., we en;oy more. We must be very hard
nressed for time when we pass church, with any
suspicious matrimonial signs about 1t, without
pesping in. Curtail it as we may, marriage Is
solemn rite, an awful Obligation.
A bride-even the plainest--is interesting ior
sbe nouce. From the lovicst daughter OF our
Yepublican aristocracy, who delicately ungloves
her taper fingers, to the servant-glrl who dis
NAV. her labor-ardened, red hand the prevailing
beautv of woman then makes itself felt. 1t is
astonishine, too, how sef.possessed they all are.
The man looks shee pish, frightened, hall ashamed,
half sorry but the very importance OF the mo
ment gives the bride frmness; her neart is IN
the seTvice-she forgets all petty CONSCIENTIOUS
and she goes through it gracefully: ln's ah
inherent Gift to the sex, not only IN weduinSs'
imt in ali solemniries where any display is re-
quir.d. Aha
olupge, is no longer shivering on the brnk-re-
gains his composure and begins to look as II
This really would be the happiest day OF his life.
He takes pride in his choice you see at last
that his was free-will oifernS-that he was
not the victim his dolelul, nervous appearance
had led you to suspect. His eye beams as II
rests on the sweet companion by his side, VINO
has so fully given her heart--committed her
fate TO him: and for that day, at least, he is
sincere in his promise that, as far as in. him lies
she shall never have cause 10 repent heI
trust. ~
The bride!- thousand conflicting feelings
sgitae her; she would not leave him tor worlds
bn, her heart sinks within her as she remembers
that the paterna roof is no longer her home.
The words-those solemn words-slili ring ID
her ear she is now his wife F.! What host OF
duties these words, husband and wife, convey tc
the thinking mind; wo to those who enter on
them lightly! -.
To live yourselves, you hope for life IN the
most intimate companionship- have one
hear,one mind-to study each Others character
and adapt yourself to their idosyncra cies--tc
walk hand in hand through life, battling il'
storms together gliding them with loves sun
shine-working for and with each other strength
ening failing hopes, gently chastlslng faults pre-
serving our own principles in the lime OF trial
and supporting those of our comrad-reslgnine
our own wishes in mutual anticipation OF others
this is marriage. :, 49,,
1t is not as silly girls and boys would think
an excuse for freedom of villa plea ior IN
creased importance it lie voluntary entrance
ON the serious business of life. Our duties are
bv it multiplied; and if we choose, our pleas
ures also. Yet, by our own faults, that stat'
which should redeem us--is degraded and 90
scured. Men and women marry without hti'nI
preparation they enthusiastically snatch ~
the cross it becomes heavy burthen which
they can no longer lay down.
