To the Boys and Girls Of the Middle

Ny Young Friends When lately in
Middle,own. was very desirous to visit
your school aud say something to you on
the subjects connected with your future
welfare. This was prevented from do
ng by want Of time. and, especially, in
capacity resulting from recent accident.
My former connection, as pastor and
teacher. with somo Of your parents and
grand -pal euss. made me much interested
in yourselves; but aside from this could
not but feel concerned in you personally.
rs in all young persons, and willing to con-
tribute, as may bo able, to your future
welfare. l hopo you will not tako i,
amiss or be offended. that | have not ad.
dressed you as Toung Ladies and Gentle
men. You. no doubt, desire to be con-
sidcred such, but hope you will not make
the grsa. mistake tina, many do, of sup
posing that you are entitled to honor be-
cause your parents are rich or honorable
Remember that true honor results from
personal good character and not from the
accident Of birth or fortune.
In your young days, therefore. you
should consider yourselves as candidates
for honorable titles. rather than as posses
sors thereof You have nor to establish
your claim to distinction, and merit the
tiilo Of Ladies and Gentlemen by worthy
and virtuous conduct. The customs Of
refined and polite society seem to require
that all public assemblies should bo ad-
dressed as Ladies' and Gentlemen though
many of their number may be quite the
reverse. This is perfectly correct. in the
absence Of any proof to the contrary but
it does not justify tho application Of tho
terms to individuals without reference to
personal character The possession Of
wealth or tho wearing Of fine garments
does not constitute Lady or Gentleman
Dishonest men may be possessed of grcat
wealth. and even thieves, gamblers, drunk
ards and other disrepu.able characters may
wear fine clothing bu, they have not, on
these accounts, just claim TO the charac-
ter of Gentlemen. So also of females, tho
bong dressed in splendid garments of sill;
and other costly material, and the being
adorned with golden ornaments studded
with diamonds and other precious gems,
do no. constitute the Lady, though they
may be regarded by many as the chief OF
only qualifications.
Nor arc learning. intelligence and re.
linemen, essential ingredients in the char.
sctsr of the Lady or Gentleman Thoy
are very desirable adjunsts, but not ndis.
pcnsible qualities, as even without them i
person may be gen,ls-woman or 4 gen
tle.man in the noblest sense of the term
In future communications (if ngrocabl,
to ysu aud all eoueerned) may try to In,
before you some considerations which
hopa may induce you to pursue limo 0
conduct that viii lead to your presen, hon
or and happiness. and future well-beiug.

THE OLD MAN INAPALACE CAR


wsI, Bstssy, this beats everything osr eyes have
ever sem
Ws'rs ridia' In . palace nt for any king OF
queen.
We lida'. 20 50 fas. as this, nor on such cush-
Ions rest,
whsa ws left New England years ago to seek
home out West.
We rode through this same country, bat not as
We now ride
You sat within a stsgc-coach, while trudged on
BY yonr side;
lnsisad Of ridin' on rail, carried one, you
know,
r. pry the old coach from the miro through
which we had to 60.
Lsrs 80; that's Atty years sgo-just after We
wers wed;
Your eyes were then like diamonds bright your
cheeks like roses red.
Now, Bs,sey. people call US old, and push US OF
enc side,
Just a. they have the old slow coach in which
We used to ride
wonder II young married felix's to-day would
condsscend
To take weadin tour like ours with Lighthouse
at tho end
Much of the sentimental lore that sets young
checks agow
Would die to meet the hardships of fifty years
ago.
Our lore grew stronger Nc we ioiled though
food and clo,he4 were coarse,
None ever saw US in the courts . huntin' di-
vorcc;
Love levsIed dowa the mountains and made low
places high;
Love sang song to cheer US when clouds and
storms were nigh.
I'm glad 10 sec the world move on, 10 hear the
engines roar,
And all sbout the cable strctchin new from
shore to shore.
Our mission is accomplished with toll ec bo,h
are through;
The Lord jnst lets us 1.-Two awhile to sec how
young folks do.
Whew, Dstsey, how wc're nyin' Soc the farms
and towns go by
Il makes my gray hairs stand on end It da,s
my failin' eye.
Soon we'll be through our Journey, and in the
house so good.
That stands within dozen rods Of where lhc,los
one stood.
How slow--like old time cosehcs-our youthful
years wen, by
The years when we were livln' meath a bright
New England sky
6wifter than palace now fy, our later years
have flown,
TIL now we journey hand in hand down to the
grave alone.
cas- hear the whistle blowin on lfe's fas, ilyin
train;
Only few moro stations in the valley now re-
main,
Soon we'll reach tho home eternal, with Its glo-
riss all untold,

A YOUNG WOMAN ATTACKED BY A LARGE
PANTHFR-sHH sLAYs IT WITH
t-s.ss-s---s..- PINE KNOT. -.l-.

Lock Haven Correspondence Of the PittsB''-g Com
meroial. prr
On Thursday last parry Of young women
went out from Queens Run ON the mountain
just back of the settlement, gathering huckle-
berries. One Of them Jerusha Bryan, adVaue-
ed q little farther into the woods than the 9th
ers' when sac YVES attacked by hugh panther.
Her companions, hearing the brute scream,
sought safety in fight but Miss Bryan, finding
escape Impossible, determined to stand her
ground, and seizing huge pine knot gave her
enemybaStle. The contest Yves close one for
a few miRutes, but human courage, judgement
and coolness soon tTiumphed over brute
strength and the heroic woman soon had the
satisfaction OF laying the blood-thirsty mon
ster dead at her feet. Her ga. ments were torn
into shreds, and her face and arms badly
scratched, but she walked home with frm
step and light OF triumph in her eye, and was
able to give good account Of herself. The
dead panther was soon afterward found by the
people of Qaasn's Run, and proved on mea-
suremen b9 six feet and ten inches long
Miss Bry&h is the lion (oT l'oness1 OF the neigh
bOrhood, and size well deserves to be. We
doubt whether an instance can be found on
record of more CO d, heroic bravery and wise
discretion, developed by any woman, even In
the most h h'stoTic Rldper,lOus Gays Of Pennsyl-
Vania.

UNsELFIsH PEoPLE-Thsre il a world Of
truth in the following paragraph, which We clip
from the Baltimore Sum: f'
The ex-Empress Eugene has been lately re-
presented as saying that she and her son "live
but for France" That is no doubt what Prince
Napoleon, cousin of her husband, sliving for.
That is why the representatives of the house Of
Orleans and the house Of Bourbon, especially the
Count de ChambOrd, ''still live" They live for
France. The question whether France is living
for them doe1 not seem 20 be considered. In
spain Don Carlos Is living for that grest coun-
try at the expense Of great many other mems
lives. Bloody battles fought, involving thous-
and of heaths, that Don Carlos may continue to
live for Spain. A rogue on one occasion plead
in exculpation Of his Ofense that he must live,
to which the magistrate replied that he did not
see the necessity. We do not see the necessity
Of Eugene living for France or Don Carlos for
Spain.
And it is not royalty alone that jmagines the
world has such need Of is living. We are all
more pnffed up with foolish conceit, and fail to
see how things could be carried on without us.
Most Of US are bat too apt to think ourselves a
necessity; and yet tie best of Us are forgotten a
week after death, and the world wsgs on as we'll
as usual, without feeling our loss. The fsct is
none Of as are necessity. Amy one, even the
greatest, could be disrebsad with. and his de-
parture scarcely noted. Then let us lower our
pretensions and study tbs uses of humility as we'll
as Of adVersity. isr...
