Your Own Good Name.

Some one says to young men, don't re-
ly upon friends. Don't rely upon the
good names Of your ancestors. Thou
sands have spent the prime of life in the
vain hope of receiving from those whom
they call friendsj and thousands have
starved because they had rich father
Rely upon the good name which is made
by your own exertions; and know that
better than the best friend you have, is
an unquestionable reputation united with
decision Of character.

CORN SONG.
BR j. G.. WHITTIER.

Heap high the farmers wintry board!
Heap high the golden corn!
No richer GIFT has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn!
Let other lands, exalting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine,
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy Gift
Our rugged wales bestow,
To cheer us when the storms shall drift
Our harvest fields with snow.
Through Wales of grass and meads of flowers
Our plows their furrows made,
While on the hills of sun and showers
Of changeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain,
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from onr spouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long bright days of June,
Its leaves grew bright and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer noon,
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now with Autumn's moonlit ewes,
Its harvest time has come,
We pluck away its frosted leaves,
And bear its treasures home.
There, richer than the fabled gift
Apollo showered of old,
Fair hands the broken grain shall sif,
And knead its meal of gold.
Let vapd idlers lull in silk,
Around the costly board;
Give us the bowl Of samp and milk,
By homespun beauty poured.
Then shame on all the proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs to scorn
The blessings of our hardy grain,
Our wealth of golden corn.
Let the earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye.
Give to the worm the orchards fruit,
The wheat fields to the fly;
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let US for his golden corn
Send up our thanks TO God.

The following award of Arbitrators
given May %, 1914, handed US for pub
lication by Jacob Ii. Viking, ESQ
shows that our fathers were as prone as
their sons to engage in heated political
discussions, and also that they could after
wards good humoredy settle all matters
OF difference on that account The names
OF the parties, the Arbritrators, and the
Umpire will be famaliar to most of our
Old reSidenters, and most Of them not un-
known by reputation, even to our youth.
The document explains itself:
We the Arbitrators mutually appoint
ed to settle and adjust the controversy
between Frederick John Haller, Esquire,
Prosecutor, and John Mulhallen, Esquire.
prosecuted, having called to our assist
ance comformably to the agreement of
the said parties, Henry Wilson, Esquire,
by reason of previous diversity of opin-
ion amongst US. And we the said Ar
bitrators, together with tho said Henry
Wilson, Esqire, having attentively heard
the said parties and their witnesses and
deliberately considered the allegations
and the evidence do, with unanimous
consent, make this our award on the
whole matter:
We are of opinion that Mr. Haller
durjter cerLa erposuit, and that Mr.. Null
hallen, nloltier n.aauS imposuit; that Mr..
Haller has offended IN UerJis; and Dir.
Mulhallen in Uerberis; or rather that he
is guilty de pulsctione, but not de UerJe-
ratione. We think that Mr.. Mulhallen
has snncd little against the Law, and
Mr.. Haller much against good manners
and that both the said parties have more
Zeal than Discretion that one of them
has more Courage than Patience, and the
other more Forbearance THAI Courage
We think that about the subject matter
on which they disputed, Mr.. Haller man
ifested himself to be tough Federalist,
and Mr.. Mulhallen proved himself to be
an unyielding Democrat; that both Of
them were right and both Of them wrong;
that each Of them told as much as au::t.aad
his argument and suppressed what was
unfavorabe to it; and that Both of them
were incorrect as well in argument as in
conduct. We think that each owes an
atoncment to the other, but that the debt
will be soonest paid by exacting nothing
on either side We award therefore that
the expenses of the Arbitration be paid
equally between them, and we recon-
mend to them to avoid the discussion Of
politics thereafter or to discuss them with
better temper; and always to remember
that neither hard words, nor hard blows
are the best possible expedients for the
conversion of adversaries.
Done after supper, under our hands,
this I'd day of May 4. D. 1911.

Let every man use his own judgment,

8 new enemy in the Troy & Boston road
which has entered into such contracts
with other roads as to deprive the Ben

State is beyond the reach of our rene

things, the President OF the road, T. W.

in the Banner to people living on the
line of the road to help build the pro-
jected connection between that and the
Harlem roads, by which they will feed
each other and control all through BUSH

promising the stockholders a COED per
