WOman's Love.

q woman's love is ike the stream
Incased in winters ice and snow:
Which by the suns warm vernal beam
Is made impetuously to flow.
Her love is like a stalk of rose,
Which in cold winter seems as dead;
Yet with the summers breath it blows,
And then sweet flowers crown its head.
Her love is like the evening star;
Though long on earth in vain it CLEAN,
Yet waits in its cold world afar.
Till loving eyes observe its CLEAN.
Her love is like the nigh tingale,
Which in its cage, though wounded, sings;
Its heart and soul breathe in its wall.
When it laments imprisoned wings.

A Valuable Beauty.

The Orientals still carry on the trade
in Circassian beauties to large extent.
The Levant Herald speaks of a party
which lately arrived at Trebizond,
among which was young houri of if
teen years, of such unusual beauty of
form and face that she was readily
bought for one hundred thousand
piasters by a rich merchant.
IT is said that during the shocks of
the recent earthquake in California,
miners at work three hundred feet
under ground were entirely unconscious
Of the disturbance at the surface, which
ratified brick buildings into heap of
ruins. This would appear to support
the hypothesis lately advanced that
earthquakes are produced by electrical
disturbances on the surface rather than
by any internal agitation of the earth.

The kANAwuA Coat LANDs.-A
correspondent of the Cincinnati; com
mercia! writes to that paper from
Charleston, West Va, some inter
esting information concerning the
coal lands Of the KNnawha valley.
He says:
The area Of the Kanawha coal
fields is larger than the entire coal

this coal field exists the bituminous,

each. All of the rivers are naviga-
BILE at food tide for coal barges.-
These lands vary in price from forty
two dollars an acre to one dollar
and twenty-five cents per acre. As
general thing the price is regula-
ted by the contlguity of the land to
the ksnawha river. Some Pennsyl-
vania parties have purchased one
hundred thousand acres of coal lands
on Elk river, containing seams Of
coal eight feet thick, at one dollar
and fifty cents per acre.

A Step in the Right Direction.

In his comprehensive charge to the
Grand Jury Of Allegany county, now in
session in Cumberland, Judge PEARRE calls
its attention to the grave violations of law
by retailers of ardent spirits. The evil
spoken Of is q serious one and should be
dealt with without clemency. 1t is too bad
We should stand by and witness the ruin of
our youth, without experimenting and
bringing the authors to justice.
We are glad Judge PIARRE has inaugu-
rated his judicial career upon platform OF
SO much absorbing interest to parents, bro
thers and sisters. In its faithful pursuance
he will attract the undivided moral support
Of the best Of the community.
The following is an extract from his
charge: .r...: r..,.:.. =
I'm addition to what has been said in re-
lation to the discharge Of your general du-
ties a. the Grand Inquest Of the county,
there are two other subjects Of more than
ordinary interest, to which propose to
call your especial attention, and to invoke
your careful and diIigent confederation.
!. Section 80 of the Seth Article of the
Code prohibits the sale or gift by licensed
ordinary keepers Of Intoxicating liquors to
minors or persons under the age Of twenty
one years. ..,
This law is constantly violated, although
the very license itself contains upon its
face statement that such sales are in vio-
lation Of the law.
1t is no uncommon thing in this commu-
nifty, and am told the same state of things
exists in Frostburg and elsewhere, to see
youths OF sixteen, seventeen and eighteen
years of age, staggering out Of these grog
geries, to their own ruin and disgrace.
Unfortunately. many Of the men who
are authorized to deal out Intoxicating liq-
uors to the public are uninfluenced by any
moral restraints whatever.
The grief and uphappiness:: brought into
otherwise happy family circles, furnishes
to them no reason why they should not
coin the last penny out of the vicious pro-
pensities of sons or brothers.
1t is this reckless disregard to the duty
they owe to society, and to the peace Of
families, that impels them to sell to the
young and to the old.
Such men can only be reached in one
way, and that is through the strict enforce
ment Of this law, passed by the Legisla-
ture with the express view to strike Of this
evil, and eradicate it, If possible.
advise you, therefore, to make diligent
inquiry on this subject. The parents and
friends Of the youths who are being injured
by this species Of violation Of the law
should come forward and give you the
names of such youths rs they have reason
to believe can give you such information
and testimony as would enable you to
bring to justice the guilty parties
The Grand Jury Of Washington county
have taken this matter in hand. and three
convictions were had at the late term of
that court, which will 60 far towards break
Ing up this great evil"

Letter From 1t. Savage.
MT, SAVAGE. Nd.

January y, 1917.
NEssRs EpIToRs Il hope you will ex-
cuse me for asking space for a communica-
ton in your interesting and out-spoken
weekly paper. which is always q welcome
visitor.
Yesterday, being the first day Of the
New Year, was observed here rs holiday;
generally, by the company's employees
Services were held in the Catholic Church
during the day. Also at the NJ. E. Church,
last night, until after IL o'clock. by the
Rev. J. ST. C. NEAL, OF most solemn and
impressive character. The ebbing out Of
the last breath Of the old year in silence as
profound as the grave, brings wildly to
mind scenes through which we have
passed, when standing by the bedside of .
dear friend. or relative, watching for the
last breath to leave the body. silence un-
broken save by the weeping Of friends.
Business, as general thing is at stand
still which 10 generally the case at this sea-
son Of the year, and likely to remain so
until the first of March. That is more
particularly with the coal companies, on
which we are mostly depending, as the car
rying oftheir coal gives employment to me-
chanics in the shops here to keep the loco
motives and cars in proper repair. True,
there are more or less men employed at all
times yet there is not that activity as when
all the coal companies are in active opera
ton.
For fear Of occupying too much Of your
paper, wish you happy New Year.

REFLECTIONS.
In the language Of Rev. L. LLEwELLYN,
at Prof PowELL's Concert, on the evening
of New Years day, "the great Eisteddfod is
over" The extent Of its beneficial results
cannot, at this early day, be fully measured.
Our Welsh friends have added fresh impe-
tus to the encouragement Of the good, the
true, the beautiful, for which they are pro-
verbal The success Of last Mondays ex-
ercises-the first Of the kind ever occurring
in Frassburg-will, we are sure, incite to
repetition each succeeding New Year Of
programmes Of increasing. Interest. The
tendency is mutually beneficcnt, instituting
q gladiatorship not the least of whose mer-
its is that it is Intellectual. 1t inspires ex-
cellence in field where merit is the exclu-
sive criterion, and places premium upon
mental effort which can never be won with
out the highest profit. 1t is from schools
like this that the plebeian Outlines rises to
the pulpit and the miner to the professors
chair. Victories won here are not only
fearless and bloodless, but they may prelude
triumphs upon yet loftier arenas.
How vastly better to employ the holidays
in immediate preparation for Eisteddfods
than to indulge bestial appetites in'drinking
the meanest stuff ever devised for mans
mental, physical and moral damnation!--
Instead of brutal quarrels, hoarse carousals
and low associations, We would have manly
competition, the soft cadenoes Of song,
in brotherhood whose aim 10 perpetual
unity in the skies.
Our Welsh friends should not be alone
in the encouragement of such entertain
ments. The duty Of providing something
more attractive to our youth than drinking
saloons is incumbent upon all Christians.
Not that these will save all, for there are
yet Ephraims who will not be discovered
from their idols, but perchance some will
realize the ladeless sweetness Of the stream
Of living waters, in which flow, commingled,
philosophy, poesy, music and song. The
most obdurate are susceptible to tender in
fuepces-the touch that awakens sympathy
may erewhile thrill such with the embryo
of new life, blossom with roses the heart
desert and the signing and sorrow Of those
who love the almost lost must fee away.
Let US have more Elsteddfods. They are
eminently healthful in all good respects
Our warmest sympnthies 80 with whatever
heightens intellectual beauty, cultivatea
song and ennobles humanity.

ponderance Of frozen matter At the north
will attract the detached icebcrgs and fields

earth will be slightly changed and the
southern hemisphere will then pour its i'm

is reached at the south, which will be in
