aH REvIvAL-Wel learn that revi-
val of religion has been in progress In
the M. E. Church, at Scrabble, for some
DAYS past, under the management OF
Rev. J. w. Smith of this town. Mr..
S. is an able and earnest minister, and
we are glad to know that his ministra-
ton is proving profitable in the saliva
ton of souls. Some rs or 30 persons
have been converted. The Altar is
crowded every night with penitents.
The Young Mems Christian Association
of this town has been doing good ser
vice in assisting at these meetings. May
the good work continue.
b0 While on our way to Baltimore
last week we met on the train our old
friend grand-daddy Gallaher Of the
Charlestown Free Press. We were
pleased to see that he had recovered
from his late illness, and was looking as
fresh as new cucumber.
@ DEArHs-It viii be seen in this
issue that two of our Oldest citizens,
within the space Of twelve hours, gave
up their earthly existence for an untried
world. Thus, one by one, our Oldest
citizens are passing away. Peace to
their ashes. - 3 f. t,=.a,~
~ WAr.-Wait, husband, before
you wonder audibly Why your wife
don't .ge: along with the household al
fairs Gas your mother did" She is do
ing her best-and no woman can endure
that best to be sighted. Remember
the long weary nights she sat up with
the little babe that died; remember the
love and care she bestowed.upon you
when you lad that long spell OF sick-
ness. Do you think she is made of cast
iron? Wait-wait in silence. and for
bearance, and the light will come back
to her eyes-the old light for the old
days.
Wait, wife, before you speak re-
proachfally to your husband when he
comes home late, weary and tout OF
Sorts" He worked hard for you all
day, perhaps far into the night; he has
wrestled, hand in hand with care, and
sel6shness and greed, and all the de-
mons that follow in the train OF money
making. Let home be another atmos-
phere entirely. Let him feel that there
is one place in the world where he can
find peace and quiet, and perfect love.
