Early Training

There is no extreme cynicism in the
conclusion that some Of the meanest
traits Of character known to respect
able civilized society have their origin
and stimulation III apparent cardinal
virtues. 1t appears a very generous
virtue, for instance to desire aud labor
assiduously for the approval Of whom
we love, reverence, or like to please !;
yet it IS very easily practicable for the
most selfish and commonplace of NOR
tails to practice that virtue with won
derfal success.
Is it, then, really a virtue? Mega
tive speaking it is, for 1t cannot be
fairly called vice, but that IL is any
security at all against ultimate vice
may be safely doubted. The good that
is done merely to attract the notice and
evoke the applause Of bystanders, and
not from any high instinct, impulse or
sentiment of native love for it, is Ger
tainIy 50 much added to the current
stock Of meritorious actions and as
much taken from the mercenary actu's
capacity to resist future outright pur-
chase
Christian society can scarcely afford
temporary benefaction at such a price
The same meanly time serving di9po-
sition that make a beautifully odiIying
spectacle Of the time-serverto day may
prompt effectively to the most perni-
ciou5 contrasting evil service to-mor-
row; for the only principle underlying
it is that of immediate personal gain.
And only too many youthful natures
are being trained daily to this shallow
and treacherou5 mitatiOn-this spa
cious assumption of virtue not even
understood-by the short-sighted NOR
al policy Of parents and guardians too
weak or indolent to inculcate nobler
motive for Uell-doing than covetous,
ness Of appreciation. Between egotist-
icaI self-assertion for the right on one
hand and Cstentatious self-abnegation
for praise on the other there is a grand,
heroic medium Of either fearless self
vindlcatlon or unreserved seif-sacrifce
for the sake Of the right alone.

He has not one redeeming trait upon
which a reasonable self-respect can be
built and braced.
Give US the bad fellow, who stands
by his personal and family honor, who
sticks to his own, who does not treat
his friends while his home is in need
of the money he wastes, and who gives
himself no indulgence of good fellow
ship at the expense of duty. A man
with whom the approving smile OF a
wife, or mother, or sister, does not
weigh more than a thousand crazy
bravos of boon companions, is just no
man at all.--Dr. j. g. Holland, an

Notice Is hereby given that checks

PRAYBR.-What battles has it not
fought! what victories has it not won !.
what burdens has it not carried what
wounds has it not healed what grlets
has it not assuaeed? It is the wealth
of poverty, the refuge of affection the
strength Of weakness +; the light OF dark
ness. 1t is the oratory that gives pow
er to the pulpit; it is the hand that
strikes down Satan, and breaks the
fetters of sin; it turns the scales OF
fate more than the edge Of the sword,
the craft of statesmen, or the weight OF
sceptres; it has arrested the wing Of
time, turned aside the very scythe Of
death, and discharged heavens fro8n-

Lehtgh Vati0y Emery WheeE Co'
This company appears to be peculiar
ly unfortunate In procuring machinery
for the rapid manufacture Of their en-
cry wheels. The third cylinder for
their large hydraulic press has now
proved failure and rendered nee essary
the ordering of fourth one, and the
probability is that three weeks will
elapse before the company will be able
to push the manufacture of their wheels
in a satisfactory manner, their small
press, now in operation, not being Of
sufficient capacity to supply the de-
mand for their wheels. They have
now on hand, orders for upwards of
fifty wheels and number OF grinders,
in addition to large number already
supplied, all of which have given the
gree test satisfaction II we may judge by
the very flattering letters which they
have received from their customers, all
of whom speak Of the wheel as
grand success" The Company have
engaged e. G. Burgess, ESQ.,, of Strouds-
burg, Pa, as General Superintendent
and manager; thorough mechanic
and gentleman of large experience in
the manufacture of emery wheels.
Under the new arrangements the Com
pany will, no doubt, shortly be able to
fill all orders for these excellent wheels
at the very shortest notice. The ener-
gy and pluck exhibited by this Company
certainly merits success.

Fatal Accident.

Fatal Accident.
On Monday morning sad and fatal
accident happened to Mr.. PhilipSwank,
one OF our oldest and most respected
citizens, which cast quite a gloom over
the town. Mr.. Swank, for q number of
years had been employed by the Du-
pom t & Co. and Latin & Rand Powder
Companies, to haul their powder to the
various mines throughout the County.
He kept number of fine horses and
equlpages and was known in this vicini-
~ as a most experienced horseman,
having been brought up to the business
from his boyhood, and In earlier years
was Superintendent of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company's stables.
About 8 o'clock Monday morning he
harnessed up his team and started off
for the powder house, situated at the
foot of Broad Mountain, along the turn.
pike road, and after loading in a full
store of powder, started on his way to
Buck Mountain, apparently In good
health and spirits. About 8 O'Clock in
the morning, Mr.. Slater, teamster,
came along with load of powder, founi
the three horse team of Mr.. Swank
standing on the road, near Hartz's,
brousing among the small bushes by the
roadside, and to his horror and dismay
found the lifeless body of Mr.. Swank
lying under the wagon, with one of the
wheels npon his neck, he still having
hold of the reins.
1t is thought that he took faipting
spell and fell under the wagon, and the
horses stopp ed suddenly, his neck very
probably having been broken in the
fall.
He was about e5 years old, had large
and respe ctable family, several of whom
are married. The funeral took place
on Wednesday afternoon, at 8 o'clock,
the remains being followed to tn grave
by large concourse of people. Rev. E.
Ferrier, of the Presbyterian church, con-
Quoted the ceremonies, assisted by Rev.
A. Nj. Wiegings. The deceased was
kind father, good citizen and true
observation-disclosures alone preventing
him from occupying his accustomed
seat in the house of God.

Wednesday afternoon the uncertainty
Of life was again evidenced by one of
those sad, fatal accidents on the rail
which we are called from time to time
to chronicle. Samuel O'Brian, a young
man aged about 90 years, was in the
employ of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company for the last six years, and
for the faithful performance Of his du-
ties, gentlemaDly department, and So
Der habits, was esteemed by all. He
was the regular conductor of coal
train, and was but acting conductor on
No. Al freight, and while in the dis
charge of his duty met his death. The
freight is due here at l2.42 p. M, and
fro m some delay caused up the road, it
did not arrive until quarter of two.
When the depot was reached O'Brian
cut the train for the purpose Of making
a flying switch Of two cars, loaded with
merchandise, on siding at the juno
ton. After uncoupling he stepped to
the rear of the car and put Oh the brake.
He then hsrriedly ran forward, inten-
ding to board the cars which were to be
run on the siding. He made leap,
and unfortunately the distance was too
great and he fell in front of the ap-
preaching cars. He was seen to jump
and mtss his leap by men at the de-
pot and several employees in the Glen
Mill. A cry of horror went up as they
saw that he must have fallen in front
of the swiftly approaching cars, and cit
was sickning to know, as they rapidly
swept along, that they were crushing
tie life out of fellow being. Thirty
five cars passed over his abdomen, spat-
tering the track and the wheels with
blood, and making scene of horror to
chill the stoutest heart. Coroner Moser
was summoned and held an inquest,
and In accordance with the above facts,
the jury rendered verdict of accident
al death. The deceased was q married
man, and leaves wife and two chil-
dren at Lehighton, the place of his re.
sidence. The mangled remains were
taken to the freight house at the depot.
and after an inquest, sent to the home
now sad and disolate by the uutimely
death of its protector. The place where
this unfortunate accident occurred, Is a
short distance below the iron bridge,
spanning secondstreet,, and within the
last few years three men were killed at
very near the same spot. Hundreds of
people were attacted to the depot, and
some of them displayed great eagerness
to see the horribly mangled remains of
unfortunate O'Brian, who, but few
moments before was in the best of spir-
its, and now cold In death. Morning
