up his little narrow world. Mar

boundless ocean Of eternity. Sun

Beautiful Extract.

There is much oftruth and beau
ty in the following fugitive wait,
floating about among our cxchang.
es:
Men seldom think of the great
event of death until the shadow
falls across their own path, hiding
forever from their eyes the traces
of the loved ones whose loving
smiles were the sunlight Of their
existence. Death is the great an
tagonist Of life. and the cold tho't
OF the tomb is the skeleton OF all
feasts, We do not want to 60 thro'
the dark valley, although its pas
sage may lead to paradise; and,
with Charles Lamb, we do not
want to lie down in the muddy
grave, even with kings and princes
for our bed fellows. But the fint
of nature is inexorable. There is
no appeal of relief from the great
law which dooms to dust. We
flourish and fade like the leaves of
the forest, and tho flower that
blooms and withers in q day has
not a Trailer hold upon life than
tho mighhest monarch that ever
shook the earth with his footsteps
Generations of men appear and
vanish as the grass, and the count
less multitude that throngs the
world today will tomorrow dis.
appear as the footsteps on the
shore.
In the beautiful drama OF Ion,
the instinct of Immortality, so elo>
quenly uttered by the death de-
voted Greek, finds a deep response
in every thoughtful soul. When
about to yield his young existence
as o sacrifice to fate, his beloved
Clomanthc asks if they shall not
meet again, to which he replies
81 have asked that dreadful ques-
ton to the hills that look eternal
of the clear streams that flow for

But while 1 gaze upon thy living
face, | feel that there is something
in the lovo that mantles through
its beauty that cannot wholly per-
ish. We shall meet again."

For the Lancaster Gazette.
Where do the Germs come
from?

In May, of this year, l caused to
bo excavated q foundation for q
new building on my lot. The earth
was removed to the depth of about
two feet, and piled into q mound
on a vacant spot, the clay or sub
soil of course coming on top, 1t
was at a season when of course no
new seeds had been matured; but
thero are now growing on the top
Of the mound, and in the clay that
came from eighteen inches to two
feet below the surface, grasses and
weeds that, during the thirteen
years of my occupancy have not
been seen on the lot. Among the
plants is the StramOnium, or James.
town weed, which l am sure has
not before grown on the premises.
There are also other growths on
tho mound that cannot be found in
the surroundings. Did the germs
exist dormant in the subsoil; or are
the plants spontaneous productions,
legitimating from new relations Of
earth, air, sun, &c.

The Century Plant in: Bloom.

The crowds that daily flock to
see this great wonder Of the dav,
evinco the very great interest that
is taken IN its development and
progress. 1t is indeed an object Of
intense interest TO all lovers OF
flowers and plants. As far as is
known, it is the first striped leaved
variety that has ever howered in
this country, and curiosity is on
tip.toe TO see what kind Of a flower
this will be. For the benefit Of
those who haye not yet seen it, we
will state that the height of the
flower stem to-day is a few inches
over eight feet. 1t was eight feet
yesterday, but being n cold cloudy
day, it was thought the stem would
not achieve more than three or
four inches during the day and
night. 1t is rather q curious fact
that it grows just as fast during
the night as in the heat and light
of the sun. The diameter Of the
stem at the height of four feet from
the ground is four inches, i. e., a.
bout one foot in circumference
The number Of leaves on the plant
is 30; length of leaves 6 feet 6 in
chcs; circumference of plant 80 #.
So rapid has been the growth of
this ponderous stem, that Frost &
Co. are making preparations to
raise the roof of their green house
this afternoon. A gentleman has
written to them from Seneca conn.
ty, stating that he saw the century
plant at Van Rensselaer, 8 at Alba
ny, in 1912, and also the famous
one on exhibition in New York
about 1916. This latter was brought
on a vessel from the West Indies,
and so rapid was its growth on the
passage that the stem was forced to
grow horizontally several feet, and
then shoot up through the hatch.
way, making q regular elbow in
the stem. The plant, however, ar.
rived in splendid condition, with
the exception of the elbow, and was
visited by thousands, who were de.
lighted with the splendid spectacle.

Brick PomerOy evidently thinks
the nomination of = fighting GEN

lacy of Ohio means war, In the
Democrat of July 8 he shrieks in
hysterical Hugo style:
To the front now, every brave

No faltering!
For this is an hour that brings
destruction in tho track ofindecis-
ion, but one determined stroke
brings safety and security.
Cowards to tho rear
Let no man stand in tho midst
of the fight and talk of this policy
or that. Thero is only one poll

War upon the enemy of Democ-
racyl
War upon the enemy of the
workingman!
War upon tho bondholdcrs and
other thieves
War upon the cncmies of the
Union, the enemies of the people,
the enemies Of peace?
Let the Democracy of Ohio use
every means at their command to
make that war successful. Strike
earnestly and unitedly for victory,
and that victory may bo gained.

"Your Taxes Are No Higher .

Democrats replying to the
charge that the late unlamonted
Democratic Legislature sqnander>
ed the peoples money and increas.
cd the expenses of the State, reply:
"Your taxes are no higher. Had
we increased the expenditures we
would have had to have increased
the rate Of taxation TO have paid
them. This would have increased
Your taxes, which is not the case.
This bowling about increased cx-
penditures is all for effect
This is their line Of argument.
What arc tho facts in the case?-
Tho last Republican levy for the
payment of tho State debt was 12
cents on the 800, and for general
revenue purposes, 10 cents on tho
800. Total, for these purposes,
% cents on the. .s100.
The Democratic levies for the
same purposes arc seven cents on
the 500 for State debt, and fifteen
cents on the 500 for general rev>
enue purposes. Total % cents on
the 500, as before.
Thus it will be seen that the
Democrat can verify his position
that the taxes have not been in
creased, and that, in the face of a
