Young Man Your wanted.

A lady writer under this heading hits
off the men as follows
A woman wants you. Don't forget her.
Don't wait to be rich if you do, ten to
one, you are not fit to be married Marry
while you are young and struggle up to-
gether But mark you, man, the woman
don't wah't you if she is to divide her
affections with cigar, spittoon, or whisky
jug. Neither does she want you if you
don't take care of her and the ''little
after-thoughts" which are sure to follow.
Neither does she want you simply because
you are a man, the definition Of which is
too apt to be an animal that wears bifur-
Gated garments on his lower limbs, quar-
ter section of a stove pipe on his head,
swears like pirate, and is given to filthy
practices generally. She wants you
for companion, helpmate-she wants
you to have learned to regulate your appe
tite and passions the image eff God, not In
the likeness of a beast.
If you are strong in a good purpose,
firm in resistance to evil, pure in thought
and action, as you require her to be, and
without which inward purity, neither of
you are fit for husband or wife if you
love virtue and abhor vice, if you are
gentlemanly, ferbearing and kind, and
loud not talking, exciting and brutal,
young man that woman wants you that
modest, fair, cheerful, bright-looking,
frank spoken woman, we mean, who fills
your idea of maiden and wife. 1t is she
that wants you-marry her when you like,
whether she is poor or rich we'll trust
you both on the above conditions, without
any further security:

Don't Stay Late Tonight.

The hearth of home is beaming
With rays of rosy light
And lovely eyes are cleaning,
As falls the shade of night;
And while thy steps are leaving
The circle pure and bright,
A tender voice, half grieving,
Says, don't stay late tonight"
The world in which thou movest,
Is busy, brave and wide;
The world of er thou lowest
Is At the ingle side;
She waits for thy warm greeting,
Thy smile is her delight;
Her gentle voice entreating,
Says, ''don't stay late tonight"
The world, so cold, inhumLn,
Will spurn thee, if thou fall
The love of one poor woman
Outlasts and shames them all
Thy children will cling round thee,
Let fate be dark or bright
At home no shaft will wound thee,
Then, "dont stay late tonight"

Passing Away.

writer beautifully treats this subject
as follows:
1t is astonishing with what rapidity
time passes away; how the days, tie weeks.
the months and the years roll round. car.
rying with them the life, beauty and hopes
Of this world into vast and unknown fu-
lure. 1t seems but short time, indeed,
since we all felt and enjoyed the springs
and buoyancy of youth, the delights of
home, the influences cf paternal love, the
society and counsel of friends, who now
sleep in the grave; and yet some of as are
aged, and the majority have attained to
mature manhood! The young of the pres
ent generation are growing up around us,
but in cur youth we knew them not
While We have been passing on, in the
direction of the grave, they have sprung TO
occupy our places and follow rapidly in
the rear. Before us we see the aged tot
tering along in their feebleness, and lean
ing upon the stats behind us is the
youth flushed with promise, and the infant
pratt!ing in its mothers arms That circle
has been kept up, unbroken since the
morning of creation that circle will be
kept up, unbroken, until time is lost in
eternity.
Our life Is moving panorama-the
pictures On the canvas pass before our
| eyes, deiigbting US for moment, but each
containing solemn lesson and warning.
! He Is but al Indifferent observer who
| does not study himself There is the ocean,
! the lake, the river, the mountain and the
vale, the one swells in its majestic gran
deur and murmurs its defiant tones,
which are heard upon either shore the
other rests like a calm mirror rejecting
the light of the millions of stars that
sparkle in the blue concave; the river
dashes on in its way to the sea /; the
mountain lifts its head among the clouds
and casts its frowning shadows in the vale
below; the vale echoes the songs of its
birds, the hum of human voices, the low
ing of herds while here and there is the
busy town, with its active life, its cease
less connections, its impetuous struggles.
its attractive homes and the spires of its
churches pointing towards heaven. The
bell rings and the picture passes away
from our sight to be seen no more. Thus
it is with human life. 1t is an association
of objects, interests, attractions and beau
ties, which burst upon our sight, perform
their mission and accomplish their purpo-
ses, and are then lost to sight.

JOHN MORTON,
A member of the first American Congress
from the State of Pennsylvania,
assembled in New York, 1865,
AID of the next Congress, assembled in
Philadelphia. 1774, and various
other public stations.
Born, A. D., 1924.
Died, April, 1777.
This monument was erected by a portion
Of his relatives, Oct. 8, 1915.
In 1875,
while Speaker of the Assembly of
Pennsylvania, John Morton was reelected
member of Congress, and, in the ever
memorable sessions of July, 1776,
he attended the august body
for the last time,
enshrining his name
In the grateful remembrance of the
American people, by signing the
Declaration Of Independence.
In voting by States upon the equestion of the
Independence Of American Colonies,
there was a tie, until the vote of Penn a
was given two members from
which voted in the affirmative; and
two in the negative.
The tie continued, until the vote of the
last member,
JOHN MORTON
decided the PRONUNCIATION of the glorious
diploma of American Freedom
John Morton being censured by some of
his friends for his boldness ir giving
the casting vote for the Declara-
ton of Independence, his
Drophetic spirit dedi-
Gated from his death
bed the following message
to them:
''Tell them that they will live to see the
hour when they shall acknowledge
it to have been the most
glorious service that [
have ever rendered to my country"
The circumstances attending the adop-
ton of the Declaration of Independence
by the Continental Congress are as fol-
lows: The vote was taken by the dele
cations of the thirteen colonies. Six of
them voted in favor of and six against
the measure. These delegations sat right
and left of the President, John Hancock
In front of him the Pennsylvania delega-
ton were seated.
When the delegations from all the col
onies, except Pennsylvania, had voted,
and it was discovered that they were
equally divided, John Hancock, perceiv-
ing that John Morton, one of the Penn
sylvania delegation, was not in his seat,
and, seemingly aware that the latter held
the casting vote IL the said delegation in
favor of the measure, arose and made a
speech, urging the Pennsylvania delega-
ton to vote for independence. He con-
tinued his exhortation until he saw j John
Morton enter the hall, when he sat down.
The Pennsylvania delegation stood equal
ly divided on the great issue, until John
gave the casting vote in favor of the Dec
laration.
Thus John Morton decided the vote of
Pennsylvania; and thus Pennsylvania, by
giving the casting vote, decided the im-
portant question; and from this circum-
stance, she received the name of the "Key-
stone State" the thirteenth State-the
block Of the Arch.
The reason why John Morton was de-
layed in the occupancy of his seat on that
occasion was that number Of influential
persons visited him that morning, urging
him to vote against the Declaration" /"
But they could not prevail; and many of
them did live to see the time when they
had to acknowledge it was the best thing
he could do, and 1.-The most glorious SER
vice that he had ever rendered to his
country"

force Of picked men. The expedi-
ton has been in preparation for a
number of months. STEADMAN him
self spent two weeks in Havana, and
during the latter part of the time was

port to him daily. The FIRST rendez-
vous OF his party was on one of the

A Costly GnYernOr.

Kentucky furnishes us another ex-
ample Of the economy Of Democratic
administration. In accordance with
aresolution passed by the Legislature,
the State Auditor has made report
of the items In furnishing the Cover
nor's house for the fiscal year ending
October 10, 1868. This bill of par
ticulars, expended to make the Cover
nor and his family comfortable, foots
up nearly So, 900. It is suggested that
the Governors of Kentucky are kept,
regardless of expense" An ex-
change details some of the items, as
follows:
The items are all interesting, and
some of them will be instructive to
young housekeepers. His Excellency,
| for instance, dreams of future great
ness on a 1925 spring bottom mattress,
| In a chamber, the necessary furniture
of which cost 5000. And other sleep
ing apartments are we'll provided with
| similar chamber sets, for which the
linen sheets cost about $500, the linen
pillow cases 5000, and the blankets
$3.50. The palace floors are Gov
cred with over 81 200 worth of carpet

$4,000 worth of brocatel and French

these nickel-silver articles, we think
are quite unworthy of such al

least, the honesty of the account
and Is fair warning to burglars, who
