For the Independent.
BE CHEERFUL.


Some sunbeam gilds the cloudiest day
And cen the darkest night
Can boast some stars, with gentle rays,
Dispensing light.
The saddest doom has still some joy
To mitigate its grief,
The fercest pain some sweet alloy
To give relief
Earth never knew despair so black
But Hopes refulgent beam
Gould drive the gloomy monster back
To HELPS extreme.
And half the SORROWS mortals bear
They could as well dismiss,
Each can elect himself the heir
Ofwoe or bliss.
Be cheerful, and the dreariest place
A gorgeous smile will wear,
Whose beams will gid the leaden face
Ofsombre care.
Be sad and sdmmers' brightest CLEANS,
Will seem sable veil,
The laughter Of the babbling stream
A dirge-like wall.
Then cheerful be, 50 shall the crown
Which thou on high shouldst wear,
From heaven to earth be handed down
To glad thee here.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

A narrow escape from death by
lightning occurred in Rocking
ham county, Va, lately. Mr.. Jno.
Donovan@Swent out with his one
horse wagon on a ridge to haul in
some rails When he had his load
nearly on, a shower of rain came
up, and he stopped under walnut
tree for shelter, leaning his shout
der against the tree. In few min
utes the lightning struck the tree,
and coming down its trunk struck
his shoulder, passed down his arm
to his elbow, ripping open his coat
sleeve as if it had been done with a
sharp knife, passed across his
breast, burning blistera as large as
a mans hand, and passed down
his leg and cut at lis shoes, cut
ting off his sh0estriug, and then
entered the root of the tree, which
it tore up for several feet. Strange
to say, he was not knocked sense
less or speechless, but says when
his horse started he haIlOed whoa
to him, but his limbs became mo-
tionless, and he could not stand or
walk. His horse ran home, and
his father and neighbors started
out and found him under the tree
in this condition,and h ought him
home in wagon. lie is now do
ing well, though his nervous sys-
tenn is much deranged, and he suf-
fers a good deal from the blisters
on his skin.

A DARING LEAP FOB so.

The Cincinna Commercial says:
About tire o clock Sunday after
noon, a boy named Joan Leaser,
eighteen or nineteen years old, q
worker in a machine shop on West
Front street, jumped fronI the Gin
cinnati and Covington suspension
bridge on wager Of twenty dol
lars. and the performance was care
fully prepared for, skilfs having
been provid d and manned to save
the foolish youth from drowning.
There was only few spectators,as
the performance was private, but
Leaser climbed on one Of the rails,
eight feet above the floor OF the
bridge, buttoned his coat, and
jumped. He struck the water with
his feet, disappeared for a few Sec
onds and came to the surface all
right. He was picked up by one OF
the skiffs, and conveyed to the
Pa &. Rogers. The distance from
the rail to the surface Of the water
perpendicularly, is one hundred
and three feet. Ahe wonder is that
death did not ensue from the con-
cussion or shock to the system, pro
dnced by the sudden contact with
the water from such a vast height.

TIMES.

Good times, and bad times. aud all
times pass over"
Then eheerily bend to the oar;
Through depth and through shallow,
through calm and thro' tempest;
The bark is still nearing the shore.
Soft woos the zephyr and low laughs
the ripple,
Warm glows the rich light Of the
sun,
But oh, at his brightest, he slopes to
the westward
The good time is over and done.
E ok rolls the bilow, white flashes the
breaker,
Fierce and bitter the pitiless blast,
But Of its own fury the storm sinks
exhausted
The bad time is over and past.
Our times we can neither foretell
them nor rule them;
Let us face them, however they come;
Pray God for one true hand to clasp
through the hours,
Till night brings us haven and home.

LUMBER SENATORS.
Fenton, Of New York, and Da
Wis, of West Virginia, are both
creations of the lumber interest.
Fenton was cutting lumber twen-
ty years ago on the Allegheny
Mountains of West Pennyslvania.
Both were traders, country mer-
chants, and saw mill people. Fen
ton used to buy eggs by the dozen
and sell them by the barrel. Da-
Wis does just that at this moment.
The keen sense and cunning of
both seem to suggest that the foxes
ard other animals they routed
from the lumber left to these Sena-
tors their artfulness. Fenton has
the most velvety touch in the Sen
ate; Davis is less cultured but
equally acute Reynard. The lat
ter used to be a rain-brakesman
and conductor.

CASH lNRTEAD OF CREDIT People who
buy for cash always buy cheaper than
those who buy on credit. The buy also
more closely and select more carefully.
Purchases which are paid for when they
are made are limited more exactly to
the purchasers wants. There is moth
ing like having to count the money out
when the article is bought, to make peo-
pie economical. The amount of indeb-
tedness incurred is not much considered
when the payday is far off. Persons
who do all there business on a cash bssis
known just where they stand and what
they can afford; consequently they find
no after occasion for regretting in
turn of times that they have INDUCED
in this luxury or that, which they
would have foregone had they seen what
was coming. Real wants are few, and
can be gratifed for cash; at all events
they should always be limited to what
can be paid for in cash How much
of anxiety, how many sleepless hours.
how many heart-burnings. disappoint-
ments and regrets would be avoided if
this rule were always strictly adhered

casionally, it will be found conven-
fence in hot weather. On the shelves
may be kept constantly on hand, balls
of butter, cold and hard, ready for the
table ; the cream jug, custards. lemon
pies, blanc mango, jellies; any such
delicacy or luxury may be brought
from the shelves, icy cold. An ice box,
so arranged, is not only great conven-
fence, but is matter of economy. One.
fifth the usual amount of ice will be of
more benefit to family than the usual
amount used in the ordinary way; and
no housekeeper who has once tested this
CONVENIENCE would ever be willing to do
without it through the hot season.
After the box is finished it should be
painted and set where the cover, when
lifted up, can rest back on a brace or
frame, as it is heavy, and would easily
break from the hinges. A cellar is
good place for the ice boz, but it may
be kept in the pantry, store room, or
wood shed, as it is most convenient.
