A Place for Finn.

In Wisconsin there is town called 0sh-
kosh. 1t is regarded by the people of
that section as a ''great place for fun"
And five admit that the local definition Of
'fun be correct, its reputc is not unde-
served. 1t CHANGED recently that minis
ter from another part of the state started to
go to Oshkosh. He had gone a few
miles on his journey when he was shocked
by meeting man limping along with the
blood running down one side of his face.
On being questioned, the man said he had
been up to Oshkosh ''having little fun
with the boys" Two miles further on
another man was met, with an arm in a
sling, bunged eye, and torn clothing.
He told the distance to Oshkosh, said It
was a live town and that he had been up
there "having little fun with the boys"
Pondering on these facts, the minister pro-
ceeded pensively until he came to a man
seated by the side ofthc road with sprained
arm and only one ear He was. washing
the locality whence the other had been bit
ten of. The minister stopped and express
ed his sympathy. The man averred that
it was nothing, he had merely been up to
Oshkosh, "having little fun with tie
boys" "But" said the minister, severely,
what do you suppose your wife viii say
when she sees you in this state?' The
man smiled sardonic smile, and putting
his hand in his pocket, brought forth a
piece Of nose, a section of scalp. with bair
attached, and piece of cheek bitten from
his antagonists face, and holding them'up
to the minister, said: "What do you sup
pose has wife will say when she secs him.
The minister silently went his Way saddcr
and sager man. 'adi ra7 iadi tpI

THREE THoUsAND YEARS OLD.--The
Oldest relic of humanity extant is the skel-
eton of one of the earliest Pharaohs, en-
cased in its original burial robes, and
wonderfully perfect, considering its age,
which was deposited about eighteen or
twenty months ago in the British Muse
um, and is justly considered the most val
liable Of its archaeological treasures. The
lid Of the coffin which contained the royal
mummy was inscribed with the name of
its occupant, Pharaoh Mykerimus, who
succeeded the heir of the builder of the
great pyramid, about ten centuries before
Christ. Only think of 1.-THE monarch,
whose crumbling bones and leathery in
teguments are now exciting the wonder of
numerous gazers in London, reigned in
Egypt before Solomon was born, and only
about eleven centuries or so after Mizraim,
the grandson of old father Noah and the
first of the Pharaohs, had been gathered
to his fathers! Why, the tidemark Of the
deluge could scarcely have been obliterat-
ed, or the gopher-wood knee-timbers of
the ark have rotted on Mount Ararat,
when this man of the early world lived.

The GooD FORTUNE OF BALTIMORE
We, congratulate Baltimore on her good
fortune and good prospects. 2 Mr. Peabp-
dy has given her an institute; Mr., Mac
Donough's legacy Of half million for an
Agricultural College, will soon be availa-
BILE, and Mr.. Johns Hopkins has given her
over million for University and prom
ises another million for Hospital. With
her long Baltimore and Ohio line of rail
way and her leases or control of other
lines running for eight hundred miles to
indianapolis, which will enable her to
compete with New York and other sister
marts for the commerce and carrying trade
Of those Western regions; with her nwn
FIVE ocean steamers and her line of others
running to Charleston, she seems on the
high road to prosperity prosperity
which, no doubt, will react on all the 9TH
er States of the South, and give them new
life and hope by such an example of enter
prise and energy.-NeO York Times.

A recent number of the London
Times paints the following pleasant
picture of this Irish city Dublin,
though capable of much improvements, is
quite as well adapted for spectacles of all
kinds as London. Its bay is magnificent !;
its river very pretty; its park four times
as large as Hyde Park, and four times as
beautiful; its public buildings, if any
thing, are a little too ambitious; its cath
cdral is large enough to scat three thous-
and, and handsome enough to have Just
now cost hundred thousand pounds in
restoration; its streets and squares are
laid out better than our own its railways
are numerous, good, and well managed :;
its suburban scenery is enchanting and
even grand; its atmosphere healthy, plea
SAINT, and clear its markets are excellent
and its Crystal Palace, where the Royal
visitors will open grand ball in a few days,
is in the city instead of being eight miles
off. You may spend a long day in the most
beautiful mountain or seaside scenery be-
tween breakfast and dinner in Merrion
square or st. Stephens green"

Weston, the walker, is to take another
big tramp. This time he goes from Ban
gor, Me. to st. Paul, MINI. and return to
Buffalo, N. Y, making in all 5000 miles,
to be accomplished in 100 consecutive
days. The wager is for $25, 900 side,
or $50, 900 in all. AS he will not be al
lowed to walk on Sundays, he will have
only SO walking days in which to accom-. .
plish the feat, and will have to make an
average Of 5S4 miles daily in order to win.
He will also have to walk 100 miles inside
of % hours five times during the march,
and forfeits $4,000 for each time he fails
in doing this feat. He viii walk so miles
in ten consecutive hours, once in each
thousand miles. The first deposit of S.
900 has been made. Weston proposes
starting from Bangor about the 18th of
August, and terminating at Buffalo on
November Goth. y.

The Boston journal says of the back
ward spring IAN old farmer of seventy
years reminds us that while much is said
about the colness and baekwardneis of the
present spring. we have had backward
seasons before. On May 3D., 1872, snow
fell to cover the ground. The 9Th of June,
1916, snow fell in Salem, Massachusetts,
and in some parts of Vermont it fell to the
depth Of one and half feet. The sum
mer of 1912 was very cold, and but little
corn was raised in New England. The
summer Of 1916 was remarkably cold on
the Goth of August severe frost occurred,
which entirely killed most of the corn in
New Hampshire, and in September there
was heavy frost, which pretty much de-
stroyed the corn throughout New England
In 1886 there was frost every month in
the year, and 17s days of east wind and
rain. es

RAFr1Ne.-The lumber business on the
Susquehanna river is still quite brisk. The
recent rains, which have been as general
in the northern section Of the State as they
have been in this vicinity, have caused a
rise in allthe branches, giving the lumber
men an ample opportunity Of getting their
lumber and timber to market. The river
is still in good rafting order from its head
down to tide water. On Thursday we no.
ticed a great many RATS going through to
tide water, Intended for the City markets.
We have not any information concerning
the price of timber but, .understsnd it is
about three cents less per cubic foot than it
was last year W'igktsuiRe Star.

O lay me to rest at the twilight hour,
When the shadows flee at the days decline,
When silence reigns with her magic power,
And hallows the lonely sleeper's shrine
O lay me to rest when the stars look down
With glitterng sheen from their thrones on high
When the winds are lull & the stOrmking' IS frown
No longer affrightens the placid sky.
o lay me to rest in the green-woods shade,
Far away from the haunts of busy men
Far away from the busy marts. of trade,
Where naught shall disturb my repose again.
o lay me to rest in the forests gloom,
Where the night-brd, free from the solar ray,
Her vigils shall keep o er my lowly tomb,
And chant her wild song till the morning gray.
q o lay me to rest till the "proms'd time'
Shall summon away all the truly blest-
Till the funeral knell of earth shall chime,
Then, lay me to rest-forever to rest

surfeit f! A little idle brook, romping out
of the alder thickets and stealing down
through the open meadows, shall, for true
tranquility and genuine satisfaction, put
all their artiHces to shame. We never
turn away our face from the brookside and
start homewards, without repeating the
exquisite lines quoted by gentle Izaak
Walton and credited by the Father of Ang-

Upon these downs, these meads, these rocks, these

And peace still slumber by these purling foun-

"In kissing then, can there be harm?
don't think so-do yor 2''
Dear Lady, from my skeptic's mind
Thou'st cancelled every doubt,
And not cobweb now remains
For thou hast swept it out.
The logic of thy flowing verse,
'Dcduced from Natures plan, r.H
Conclusive proves that kissing must
A'Duty be, Of man.
Then since we both agree tits
A Duty-not Sin
Sweet Lady, let us lovingly
Our Duties now begin.
