Enjoying Life.

1t is singular to what an extent
people believe happiness depends
on not being obliged 20 work.
Girls are considered well married
iftheir husbands are wealthy, and
boys considered provided for if
enough can be left them for sup
port, and enough surplus to play
business" with. BOsh! Honest,
hearty, contented labor is the
only source Of happiness, as Wei
as the only guaranty Of life.
The gloom Of misanthr0py is not
only a great destroyer OF happi-
ness we might have, but it tends
to destroy life itself. Idleness,
and luxury induce premature de-
cay much faster than many trades
regarded as the most exhaustive
and fatal to longevity. Labor in
general, instead of shortening the
the term of life, actually increases
it. tits the lack of occupation that
actually destroys SO many of the
wealthy, who have nothing to do
but play the part of drones, and
like them, make speedy exit,
while the busy bee fills out its day
in usefulness and honor.

WHY WILL you BE HyMBueeED i?


As certain parties are now travelling
through this county humbugging folks
by soliciting old pictures to be copied,
representing that they will do it cheaper
than any one else, | propose to give you
a few facts in relation to them. In the
first place the pictures that they deliver
are ccmmon plate pictures-enlarged tin.
types-for which they charge you from
20 to 60 per cent. more than [ charge
for the same kind of picture, for the
very reason that they are obliged to paw
express both ways, also to pay the ex-
penses of the travelling agent, all of
which you will save by getting your
work done nearer home My work is
all done in my own shop, finishing and
all, Notwithstanding the Concord agents
statement to the contrary; and you will
find it to your interest to bring your
work here to be done, as | warrant my
work as good as the best and cheaper
than can be done by sending it away
Also, you will find my work just what it
is represented to be, as shall not palm
off tin-type for an India ink picture.

he sought and worked for. He was will

Fatherland) in blood. And for what {?
Nothing else but selfish ambition. This

Schurz boasts of the German vote.
and is for sale to the highest bidder
but he will fail of selling US Germans
he may make the sale but the delivery

control over the German vote as Satan

He has proved himself false and not fol-

gulotion
DAYTON, March 11-Mary Mar
guardt, aged So, and three children,
aged respectively 6 and s years and six
months, were murdered six miles north
east of this city on Saturday night.
The indications are that the murder was
committed by the father. Leonard Mar
guardt, who is evidently insane from
spiritual cause. The story which the
man himself tells is that few days ago
he read a chapter to his family from the
Bible, and then rising accused his wife
of being a witch aud using witchcraft,
and that his eldest daughter confirmed
him in. his accusation.
He says that on Saturday night he
told his wife that he wanted the children
to leave; that he and his wife stripped
naked, knelt down and prayed for fifteen
minutes; they then stripped two chill
dren, took them out and drowned them,
and laid them side by side on the bank
of the stream They then dashed out
the brains of the infant, and left it lying
in the woods. After this they returned
home and went to bed. After lying there
fifteen minutes, he told his wife he want
ed to send her to heaven. and Immediately
strangled her to death. After that he
rose and prayed until 3 o'clock in the
morning, when he went to the nearest
neighbor and told the whole story.
Marguardt is German farmer, and
has been in this country about eighteen
years. The murdered woman was his
second wife.
At the Coroner's inquest the evidence
was taken of Elizabeth, aged 7, and
Habakkuk, aged 6, the surviving children
of Marguardt They said that on Sat-
urday night after dark, their father and
mother '.hunted" all the children. These
two hid themselves. There was light
burning, and they saw father and moth
er kill the other three children with theil
hands. Father killed the baby first,
and then mother killed Leah and Sam
uel
Both father and mother were naked
and when the deed was done they came
into the house and began praying to God
in heaven. The two surviving children
were hunted for after the others were
killed, but they managed to get away
and about daylight on Sunday morning
got to straw stack, where they were
when they were found in the afternoon
The examination is still proceeding be
fore the Coroner The babes skull was
completely smashed in.

DUNNING A TENANT AND PUNCHING
HIS EYE Our WITH AN UMBRELLA
Camden, N. J., March ION Saturday
last, in Walnut street, Philadelphia,
John Ambrewster. one of the wealthiest
and most highly respected inhabitants of
Camden. had an encounter with William
Penn Repsher, q young man who was one
of his tenants.
The former. meeting his tenant in
Philadelphia, asked him for part Of his
rent which had been due for more than
two years. Repsher, who has been I'M
fortunate of late, and become much re-
duced in circumstances, replied that he
had no money. Whereupon the wealthy
landlord became abusive and threatening
in his language.
| Repsher retorted, and soon became en-
ragged at very insulting epithet of Am
brewster's, struck the latter in the face.
Ambrewster then raised his umbrella and
stabbed Repsher in the eye, the ferule
entering near the bridge of the nose, and
penetrating clear to the brain.
Repsher was picked up and carried to
his home in Camden This morning he
died. Ambrewster was arrested to-day,
just as he was stepping on the train tc
escape. He has been committed to the
Camden jail without bail, and will have
to stand trial for murder in the first
degree.
