TERRIBLE DEATH.-On Tuesday, July
10th, says the Brookville Republican. a
terrible accident happened on the mill of
Mr.. Andrew Butler, of Pine Greek town
ship this county, by which that gentleman
vas instantly killed. 1t appears that he
was engaged on the mill, and about two
clock in the afternoon, while clearing
away sawdust ana rubbish from the saw,
the saw caught his arm cutting it fearfully,
aud At the same time, striking his head and
severing it almost in two, the other arm be-
ing also badly mang!ed. Mr.. Butler was
an industrious and good citizen, and the
whole community will be appalled, to learn
of his terrible death. He leaves wife and
five small children.

INFANTRY. The Philipsburg Journal
says; a novel sight was presented on
our streets Oh Wednesday afternoon last,
being procession of baby coaches, each
filled with its smiling, growing infant, and
drawn by party of little girls, clad in their
holiday attire, to whom all honor of the
conception and execution of this idea is due.
They paradcd the principal streets, creating
considerable excitement, and calling forth
rounds of applause from the spectators all
along the line of their march.

Look SHARP Parties in the habit of
cncroaching on the corn fields and orchards
OF their neighbors stealing corn and fruit
should bear in mind that by so doing they
place themselves liable to free pass to the
Penitentiary, The law used to regard such
deprcdatious only in the light of trespass,
but later acts makes it criminal offense
Parents would do well to caution their chill
drcn in regard to this, as some time they
might have to suffer shame on their account.
And 10 sensible person could blame the
farmers and owners of orchards If they
should enforce the law on any one so dead
to every sense OF honesty as to disturb their
crops, the result Of their toll and care.

On, WHAT A STINK Such was the
universal exclamation of our citizens, on
Wednesday morning last, as they approach
cdma7ket street. The cause, at first, was a
mystery but it was soon discovered that it
arose from some filth that was scattered in
the street.-the debris of slaughter house,
portions Of which fell out of the wagon bed
as 1t was being hauled along the street, the
nigh; previous We have frequently, du-
ING the past two months, directed the at
ten;!on Of cur borough officers to the exis
tence Of a vast amount OF filth within the
corporate limits, which should be removed.
Little or 10 attention was given to cur sug-
ges;ions, no doubt regarding them as mere
matiersot talk for talk 5 sake. But, if such
was the supposition, We think, all fully re-
.lsI the facts, as they exist, on Wednesday
morning last; and, we hope, that now Il
proper steps viii be taken to renovatc the
town, AMI prevent the recurrence of such
an m'0erablo stencil and nuisance as that
r-Tea.cd and inGic,el upon our citizens last
week.

Young Men, You're Wanted

A lady writer under this heading, hits off
the young men as follows
"a woman wants YOU
"Do not forget her. DO not wait to be rich :;
if you do ten TO one you are not fit 10 be mar
ried. Marry while you are young, and struggle
up together.
But mark, young man, the woman don't

she want You simply because you are man.

animal that wears biturcated garments on his
lower limbs, quarter section Of stove pipe on

companion, hclpma,e-she wants you to
have learned TO regulate your appetite and
passions in short, in the image of God, and
not in the likeness of Il brute.
"If you are strong in good purpose, firm in
resistance to evil, pure in thought and action
as you require her 10 be, and without which
inward purity neither of you arc fl for hus
band or wife /; il you love virtue and abhOT

ideas 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 thu
above condition, without further security"

BEAUTY.-A clever writer says, 'Proyi-
dence made woman to make the world
beautiful, as much as flowers and butter
flies, and there is no sin in a tasteful
dress, but 'oulyl IN devoting too much
money orsltoo's much time.' This is a
most sensible view, and is the true
ground OF mediumship between the one
extreme of straight and rigid simplicity
and the devotion OF the best energies OF
a lifetime to vanity and frivolity. But,
after all, what is the rage, for dress but
an effort after the beautiful? The reason
why the beautiful is not always the re-
suit, is because so many woman are
ignorant or merely initiative. They
have no sense of fitness the short
wear what belongs to the tall, and oru-
nettes sacrifice their natural beauty to
look like blondes. That which is inap-
propriste is never beautiful, no matter
how fashionable but who does not
know that some Women whose taste and
training are so perfect that fashion be
comes to her means of grace instead of a
despot; so that even the worst of fash
ions seems to them but chain OF roses.

The E'retful Man.

The passionate. ill-natured man lives
always in st Jrmy weather, even though
it be the qniet of dew-tall around him
always wronged, always hurt, always
comp plaiung of some enemy. He has no
conception that this enemy is in his own
bosom, in the sourness, the ungoverned
irritability, the habiIua ill-temper of his
own bad spirit and character. | speak
not heie Of some single burst of passion
into wlieh man of amiable temper may
for once be betrayed but Ispeak more
especially ofthe angry characters, always
brewing in some tempest violated feel
ing. They have a great many enemies,
are unaccountably ill-treated, and cannot
understand why it is. They have no
suspicion that they see and suffer bad
things because they are bad, that being
| il -natured is about the same thing as re-
criying ill-treatment, and that all the en-
EN- es they suffer from are snugly closet
| ed in their own evil temper. .is
The same is true of tretful persons
men and women that wear away fast and
die, because they have worried life COM
pletely out. Nothing goes right shus-
baud or wife, or child or customer or
sermon. They are pricked and stung at
every motion they make, and wonder
why it is that others are permitted to
float along so peacefully, and they never
suffered to have a moment of peace IN
their lives And the very simple reason
is, that life is q field of nettles to them
because their frettul. worrying temPers
are always pricking out through The ten,
der skin OF their uneasness. why, II
they were set down in paradise, carry
ing heir bad mind with them, they
would fret at the good angels, and the
climate and the colors even OF the roses.

Week day Sermon for Farmers.
BY LAY PREACHER.

We heard a clergyman, on recent
Sabbath, pray that the Lord would bless
US with bountiful harvests, making the
earth yield her increase for both man
and beast. Now, for the poor helpless
beasts, this was very inerciful prayer,
aud we believe it was heard and COM
mendcd by the Almighty but as far as
man is concerned, would it not be more
appropriate 10 pray, "Oh, Lerd, we pray
Thee, that man may be scrimped for food
until he learns, bv his necessities, wisely
and well to use the means Thou hast
given him for making the earth yield her
increase
We think the Lord does his full share
already, at least until man comes more
nearly up to his responsibilities, when
we presume Gcd will increase his bene-
factions on the principal that He helps
those who help themselves.
Here we are furnished with soil con-
tanning ali the elements of the growth
o! plants; and with the plants each bear
ing seed after his kind, arc all very good.
1t is also ordained that summer and
winter, rain aid sunshine, seed-tine and
harvest, shall not fall
The laws OF nature are fixed, and the
conditions that govern the growth and
perfection of the plant can be surely as
ctrtained and above all, man is endow-
ed with mind capable not only of COM
pretending most Of these laws, but also
OF so working in harmony with them as
t. make them las they intended to be)
tributary to him.
With SO much given, the man who
docs not srcceed does not deserve to,
and had no. better not pray for God to
make up his Deficiencies.
The man who prays for bountiful crops,
while half his manure goes to waste, and
half the virtue lecches out of the rest,
had much better spend his time and
breath in the barn yard.
! The man who asks that his crops may
not be cut off by excess of moisture or
parched with drouth, and takes no means
to underdrain, (Which would prevent
both,) is an intruder with his petition,
and is of the class described by the
Apostle They ask and receive not be-
cause they ask amiss.'
The man who does not provide proper
winter shelter for his cattle and sheep,
but lets them shiver in the cold winds of
winter and spring, feeding them nothing
but dry hay and cornstalks, and then has
the audacity to ask God that his focks
and herds may be preserved from the
ravages Of diseases, has not yet learned
the first principles of Divine economy,
and lis petition will be spurned, for
the 'mercifal man is merciful to his
beast
In short, the man who does rot use to
the bst OF his ability the faculties that
God has given him to study out the laws
and workings Of nature; who does not
conscientiously strive to improve every
year both in the knowledge and practice
of his work, has no right TO ask the
blessing of heaven upon his willtul lgnor
ance or his sinful neglect.
. On the contrary, the man who does
the most and best he knows, while at
the same time lie seeks ever to know
more, may safely consider himself an ac.
crpted a favored suppliant at the Lords
| treasury.

THE LITTLE Girl THAT MEETS ME."-
How often has a CLEAN of sunshn been
thrown upon us by tbe happy recognition of
some pretty little schoolgirl tripping along 10
aud from the scene of her daily toll and study,
always happy in extending as well as receiy-
ing passing greeting. Though passing ma
NY OF our school children mt the different
hours of tho school sessions, and always feeling
CLEAN of pleasure AT their happy and lrc
qucntly chubby &hcalthy y appearance yet the
special pleasure enjoyed is confined to some
particularly sunny and love-inspiring one
such as is SO sweetly set forth in the following
stanza copied from lie Caoyea AmercHa:
The Little Girl That Meets Me.
There's a little girl that meets me,
And with laughter ever grcets me,
And TO kiss her oft entrcats me,
AS stray
Long the path of life, so dreary,
Where the saddened heart, and weary,
Shades the sunlight, shining near me,
On my way.
She has eyes as blue as heaven;
(Only aged about eleven y
But unto her God has given
~ a. Such a heart,
That forever she is singing,
And her sweet voice ever ringing,
Beauty o'er the rapt soul bringing,
-e.r.' Sweet as art.
With her brown hair so curly,
With her teeth so white and pearly;
l have met her late and early,
BY the way,
And take her hand, and press it
In my own, just To caress it
pretty little hand-God bless itr'
l do say.
May the world smile kindly on her,
Benediclions fall upon her,
| Angels be her guard OF honor,
As she goes
Through this world of ours, singing,
Peace to troubled spirits bringing. rH
| No grief her pure heart wringing a. p
| With lis woes.
l May the sweetest harp in heaven
/ Brightest crown that e'er was given,
L Where the waves of life are driven
| -ar.7sn7i Past thethronc-s TAalH 1iB

'Pon her pure brow ever liDgcr,
While each angel be singer.
