less curiosity, combined with many anx-

with hopes and fears. Morning dawned--
and as the train whirled on, fast approach
ing the city, the passengers began to be-
stir themselves, and after the customary
hustle of arrival, they soon were scatter
ed far and wide. Some had returned to
the embraces of loving friends; some
were hurrying through the crowded streets
in search Of their old acquaintance :;
others, forlorn and lonely, thought only Of
seeking employment. Our heroine was
accosted by some friends, who had heard
of her coming, and kindly offered her the
hospitalities of their home until she should
find home elsewhere. A few hours la
ter, her friends, wishing to show her some
attention, invited her to go aboard an
ocean steamer then lying in harbor. She
complied with the delight of a country
lass, and her curiosity was satisfied and
pleased by all she saw. A Liverpool
packet was lying beside the dock, and our

would visit it also. So, going aboard,

in ecstacies. A door opened at the other

the same time impressing all with the
feeling that he must be the captain of
the ship. Introductions ensued. In her

Soldiers of 1912.

In the defeat of the resolution which
came up before the United States House
Of Representatives on Friday last, tho
Radicals have fully proved their lack Of
love and devotion for the ''old defenders
Of our country.
The bill was offered by Hon. A. II
Coffroth, from this State, for the purpose
Of allowing pensions to the soldiers of
1912. 1t was defeated, or rather post
poned indefinitely by strict PARTY vote,

against the Resolution
Men of 1912 Mark these pretended
patriots of the present Congress. You
can see who are your real friends. BY
voting for the Republican ticket, you sup

a small pittance for your distinguished ser

our soil, IN their attempt to destroy our
institutions.
You who marched on foot from Cum

early days, know full well, how much the

ing the emotions of her heart, she stood
buried in thought. The Captain mean
while took her friend aside, and showed
him letters of credence from some of the
most respectable firms in Europe. Then,
returning, he anxiously awaited a favora-
ble response. She, with trepidation, ask
ed for Jew hours to consider this uneX-
pected proposition, which was to be fraught
with such a remarkable change in her
condition, her hopes, her fears alternating
in her mind as she meditated. 1t was
finally agreed that he should receive an
answer at 3 O'Clock p. NJ. At the appoint
ed time the Captain called, and with en-
otions such as the tender sex only are sus-
ceptible, she yielded her heart cOnfidiagly
TO him who was to be her future lord,
and to whom she had been but few
hours before an utter stranger. And in a
few moments they were standing together,
bride and groom, she no longer the de-
pendant, orphan country girl. What
thought must have whirled through her
brain as she journeyed some three nun
dred miles to her native village to tell the
wonderful story Of her sudden change,
and make ready for her departure for
Europe (on her bridal tour) which was to
be in three days.
The residence of the orphan girl was a
village on the Erie Railroad, ''where two
roads meet" The groom is Captain O.. :,

BUSHES AND WEEDs.-August is q sea-
son for the most effective and deadly on
s.aughts upon weeds and bushes. The
nature of most weeds is the first part of
the season to make tops, and afterwards
to concentrate their energies either upon
the production of seed or maturing their
roots, so as TO live through the winter, if
cut in this dry hot weather 1t is
usually certain death. Even Butter
and-Eggs (Lmar7a), that most snowy and
detestable of weeds, is sometimes killed
by thoroughly hoeing up in an August
drought. AS for bushes, once cutting up.
and then letting the sheep browse off the
young shoots, will make an end OF the
worst, even wild roses and blackberry
bushes. Do not let any weeds go to seed.
The season has been particularly tayora-
bile to crops of weeds, and without prop
er diligence it will take years to do away
with the harm that may be done if they
scatter their seeds.

What did the Soldiers Fight For.

What did the soldiers of the Union
army fight for? A Republican newspa-
per asks that question. We will try and
answer it in a few plain words.
Says he Lancaster InteiHgencer, when
the flag, the symbol Of the Union as form
ed by our fathers under the Constitution,
was fired upon at Sumter, thousands Of
brave men rushed to arms. For what
Was it 10 free the negroes Let the Rad
ical Disunionists tell the returned veterans
that if they dare. When President Lin
coin issued his proclamation freeing the
slaves, what was the ground on which he
protcssed to stand Was not tie act JUS
tilted because it was believed soldiers
fought for tie restoration of the Union
under the Constitution. That was the
one great, grand, holy object which they
kept singly in view. They did not fight
to conquer equal rights for the negro, and
in the coming elections they will show
their scorn Of that political party which
would delay the restoration Of the Union
until the odious conditions Of negro-sut-
frage and negro-equality are forced upon
! an unwilling people. The soldiers read
and think for themselves now, and they
cannot fail to see that the party which
nominated Geary is unequivocally COM
mitted 10 all the infamous schemes Of the
Radicals in Congress. Whatever the sol
diers may think Of Geary's military rec
ord they cannot endorse his political po
sitiOn. They cannot and will not vote
with any party which makes the Union
