PUsH.-When cousin VIII was a
home for vacation, the boys always expec-
ted plenty of fun. The last frolic before
be went back to his studies was a long
tramp after hazle-nuts
As they were hurrying along in high
glee, they came upon a discouraged
looking man and discouraged-looking
cart.
The cart was standing full Of apples be-
fore an orchard. The man was trying to
pull it up hill to his own house.
The boys did not wait to be invited, but
ran to help with good will. Push,
push - was the cry.
The man frightened up; the cart trun-
died along as fast as rheumatism would let
it and, IN five minutes, they all stood
painting at the top of the hill.
" Obliged to ye, said the man ; and
" We just wait a minute" and hurried into
the house, while two or three pink-aproned
children peeped out Of the door.
" Now boys" said cousin VIII, this is
a small thing but | wish we could all
take motto out of it, and keep it for life
Push 1T is just the word for grand
clear morning like this; it is just the word
for strong arms and young hearts it is
just the word for world that's full Of
work as this is
If anybody is in any trouble, and you
see it, don't stand back; push
Ifthere's anything good doing in any
place you happen to be, E11sl'
f there IS any work going Oh Ia the
Sunday school, push : Don't drag back

Take not the Beautiful.

Take not the beautiful,
Stern hearted death
Chill not their bosom,
Quench not their breath,
Leave us the flowers,
Guitless of spot;
The heaven of beauty
Needeth them not
Earth has not many
Holy and true,
Pure in their beauty,
Like the sween due;
Let them not perish,
Chilled by thy breath
Take them not with thee,
Angel of Death
Let them still gladly
Smile on us here,
Tighten each sorrow,
Danish eac1 fear.
Hush not their voices,
Joyous aud sweet
Down to the Valley
Lead not their feet.
Take not the beautiful
Weary OF breath,
Many mortal
Creth for death
Many worn spirits
Reach for thy touch

KNITTING was just thinking, moth
err said Rachel.
Thinking about what asked Mrs.
Harland, seeing that her daughter did not
complete the sentence she had begun.
1t was something about knitting. Mrs.
Barclay said this morning as she passed
the window and saw me at work, That is
soft and beautiful yarn, but not half so
soft and beautiful trust as the yarn you
are knitting into your life. I've been
thinking ever since what she could have
meant and it's just come to me.
Has it? I'm glad you've thought it
out yourself What is merely told to US
often goes no deeper than the memory,
but if we think out anything for ourselves,
it becomes more real to Us and more our
own We understand it better
Yes, am sure Of that, replied Rach-
el.
And what do you think Mrs. Barclay
meant asked Mrs Harland
| suppose she meant that our thoughts
and feelings were like yarn, and that ev-
cry day we were knitting them into our
lives.
think that was her meaning. replied
the mother If day by day we knit pure
thoughts and kind and gentle feelings into
our lives, we shall not only form to our
selves beautiful characters that will make
our presence charm and blessing to
others, but acquire a heavenly quality
that will draw near to Us, as ike draws
ike, the angels Of God with their protect
ing power, though we may not perceive
their presence.
\ tender thoughtluness was in the eyes
Of Rachel She did not answer, but
looked down at her knitting, and as the
soft thread passed through her fingers she
pondered this new lesson in the book OF

The building of Il road between
Bridgeport and Uhrichsville is being
again agitated by our neighbors on the
other side of the river. The route pro-
posed is by the way Of New Athens or
Flushing and down the Saltwater val
ley. 1t passes through very rich sec
ton OF country whose trade would
undoubtedly come to our city if the
proposed road were built but which now
goes to Pittsburgh, the Panhandle rail
road being the most convenient high
way within reach of the people. Very
wealthy portions of Belmont, JEFF

Tuscarawas counties would be open
ed up by the proposed road, and
the advantages to be reaped by the city
of Wheeling from its construction are
desirable and important. A committee
of Bridgeport gentlemen have been solic-
iting the funds necessary for the COM

route. and lack only about two hundred
dollars Of the amount needed. They
