Mon;y and the Use of It.

Money is a good thing TO have. 1t
will accomplish many things. Even
love. unless there is some money with
it, is not always prudent. Chill penu-
ry often froze the genial cnrrcntsof
the soul before Gray put tIre express
ion in this shape, and has often frozen
it since. But m~oney-n,aking need
not, should not, be at all times the
paramount consideration with all
classes. Yet it has grown TO be such.
The love OF money, says .Iuvenal,
grows as money itself grows. Con-
s~equcnfly We inl those who could
best afford to give themselves some
relaxation from the toll that attends
the accumulation of wealth less dis
posed as aarule than others TO take
such respite. An eminent scientist,
when offered a great salary to take a
certain employment, replied that he
had not time to make money. From
his standpoint he was right. He had
money enough to supply his wants,
and lie could do better than to devote
himself exclusively to the accumula-
tion of more. Yet there is no sen Sc
in processing TO despise money as a
thing Nbeneath the dignity of human
effort !" NORM prating of the advan-
tages of a life of contented poverty in
a cottage where love reigns. Plutarch
seems to think that Pelopids was a
wise man when, being admonished by
his friends that money which he neg
lected was a very necessary thing, he
answered at is necessary, indeed,
for Nicodemus there" pointing to a
man that was both lame and blind.
But we may take issue or this with
the philosopher of Chaeronea. The
inn-keeper gave better advice to the
knight of La Manclia when he adyis-
ed him to return homo and get mon
ey, before making q final start upon
q life of chivalrous adventure. There
is a mean which commends itself to
S and Judgment, between a. pre-
tended disregard of wealth and the
sordid principle of accumulation
which sacrifices to cupidity all the
"sweet and tender s~ympathies of
life" Here is mid-winter now. Let
those who have plenty and to spare
remember the poor" and from their
bountiful store contribute something
to relieve penury and want in their
midst. II. will do you more good to
spend a little money this way than to
gain twice as much by the unbroker
drudgery of the tread-mill.

ELLA T.

From the Elmira, On. W GAzErTE,
we clip the following valuable and
useful hints on Church fashions for
the fall season. They will probably
be advantageous to some of our fash
ionable church goers in Eaton:
"On entering the vcstibule the lady
throws her head up and pOises it back
as fa- as possible without n fracture
of the spinal column. When the sex
ton opens the door, the skirt If the
dress must be grasped with the right
hand, throwing back the r~edingote TO
expose the facings about ten inches,
and drawing the side breadth to the
front, so as TO throw the back folds
into wide and graceful prominence
in the sweep up the aisle. While
waiting for the gentleman to come
out of the pew, the skirt must be al
lowed total, and the hand must be
dropped upon the material to exhibit
the hue OF the kid glove and the quail
ity OF the honiton frill on the sleeve.
The pew-door attitude is enhanced by
a very slight tendency of the whole
body to the left side. the eye fixed pi-
ousfy on the communion table. The
latest position i'm prayer is with the
head bowed quite low, the lace of the
handkerchief falling in relief over the
glove, Or n purple velvet hand Bible
with a GOLD clasp. This position will
require practice to avoid falling into
q drawing-room courtesy, as the
Christian kncels down. The tenden-
of the shoulders in prayer is a lit
tie higher than i'll September; the in
creased height of the ruff requiring n
support, to prevent a break, in high
religious attitudes. Fashionable saints
are going TO church five or six min
utes later than last season. The man.
ner of dcpositing contributions has
changed but little, still depending on
the amount of the contribution"

The Modocs on a Grand Fox Hunt

Saturday, Nov. 22d, was a memora
bic day to Lewisburg and vicinity, and
will prove an epoch never to be for.
gotten during their natural existence
and by some will be remembered as
s:black Saturday" The sun had just
arose in his majestic splendor, when
the L~ewisburgers were saluted with
fife and drum, horns, bells, Sc, in
short every conceivable thing to make
a noise was on hand for the "Grand
Fox Hunt" Capt. NJ. Cotterman in
command OF the Lewisburg Co, con-
sisting of about 100 men and boys,
from 6 years old urchins to the vene-
rable gray haired sire. Capt. Dave
Kumler, Commander-in-chief, could
not be at his post, being physically
he had married a wife )" of course was
excused. eat length the hunting
grounds were reached, and Joined by
the several companies, Alexandria,
Brennersyille and vicinity. The lines
being formed, the boom of the cannon
signaled the advance, then commence
ed the most unearthly and demoniacal
noise, that filled the woods and rever-
berated among the hills, and made the
welkin ring. The sequel shows a Fox
in the ring, which was finally captur-
ed amid the widest and greatest dis
order. The Lewisburgers claimed
the capture, consequently the lHlzc.
Capt. Cotterman attempted to bring
"order out of confusion" and the o
was voted to Major Gen.. Wash OZias.
Regardless of the above vote the Lew
isburgers carried the prize away,
whilst the other Co.'S held the field.
Holding a brief indignation meeting.
(by the Modocs termed war; and sew
eral braves pursued the fleeing cap
tors and overlook them in an aijoin-
ing woods, where a general Modoc
battle ensued. Previous party feelings
and %prejudices politically seemed
forgotten, and all were democratic to
the core, (if hickory clubs were an
emblem Of democracy and that of the
old jackson persuasion. Hickory
clubs were all the go, and mel tum-
blcd promiscuously in humble sub
to the pre- vailing influence of
the Modoc war club. Again the Lew
isburgers carried the trophy from the
ground, and one or two bruised heads
i'm addition, and again Brenncrsvillc
. Co. held the field, also exceeding i'll
the number of bruised heads and
noses. Consequently both
claimed the day, and came out
ahead at least so much. Thus n day
intended for fine sport and general
resulted in creating enmity be-
tween neighbors and friends. Aud
then boys buoyant and eager for fun,
deprived of seeing either Fox
Or fun.
Although Lewisburg carried home
he dead Fox, it has not carried many
laurels achieved in the contest

of men. Brennersvillc ~ Go
likewise.

A calm the air ~pervades,
Fair summer slowly fits from sight,
Kissed by the autumn shades.
The scarlet leaves are dropping slow,

arrives at church at the opening of long
prayer, and is admitted by the sexton with
admOnitary gestures of silence. The first step
inside the door is followed by a sound like that
of ripping clapboard from the side of barn,
while all the ladies on the right side of the
aisle tip their top-knots to one side
and squint from their left eyes, those on the
other side reversing the order. Balancing
painfully on his worst corn, be makes a more
gradual effort and is rewarded by hearing the
same harmonic reverbance. Then he tries to
navigate on the balls of his feet, and waddles
along on his heels. He clutches convulsively
at the sides Of the pews to tighten his weight,
knocks down wOman's parasol, and gets all
the deacons to raising their bald heads and
the skin across their foreheads, and
scowling as they do the rest of the weak. So
he determins to mince the matter no more, and
trots along fast, and reaches his pew with all
