There is nothing harder for man
with astrong viii and stronger "wont
in his composition, than to make up his
mind not always to have his own way
to subrait to a thousand little wrongs
and suggestions rather than quarrel
with his neighbors. A man who had
beeu clergyman, physician and law
yer, was asked which profession was
the most profitable. He replied in sub
stance that where man would be will
ing to pay twenty-five cents to secure
his salvation, and fifty cents TO he made
well when he is sick, he would willing
~ give five dollars 10 have his own
way.
Now this willfulness is, Of all kinds
of business, the most Improbable. One
well says that man needs long purse
who determines, come what Will, TO
have his own way. We must learn to
turn sharp corners qnietly, Or we shall
be constantly hurting ourselves. Two
men with mills on the same streams,
quarrcled over the water power There
was probably not five dollars difference
between them al the start, but neither
would yield al inch. The case was
thrown INTO the hands of smart law
yers, who aggravated the difficulty for
their own ends, and worried the case a
long year afte-, till one lawyer took the
upper mill for his dues, and the other
the lower. They probably were con-
tented not to quarrel over the trifes
that proved so disastrous to their clients.
Before you 60 into a lawsuit, careful
ly calculate your cost if You should gain
it, and see if you had not better put
your money into sheep, a new car
riage for your family, cow for your
son or daughter, or. thousand other
things that might give you much more
profit and happiness. The malicious
delight you feel in gloating over a
neighbor's discomftures is not happi-
ness, but only its miserable counterfeit.
1t is a disposition near akin to that
which lost spirits feel. Root this ont of
your heart, if you would not be forever
miserable.

argued address by the Pastor and some
remarks by others present, committee
was appointed to prepare business for
ar adjourned meeting, which was ap-
pointed for Monday night last.
Messrs. Butler, Neel, Andrews, Smith,
Flemming, Lee, Staley and Greenwood

! majority of the people Of the county.

ty, and do most earnestly exhort all

A FAMILY PoIsoNEp.-The particu-
lars of case of poisoning comes to us
well authenticated from Wolfsville,
Frederick county. On Sunday evening
while Mr. Daniel Shupp and family
were at supper thay were taken very
sick almost Immediately after drinking
some coffee None escaped except
little girl who did not drink any. Mr..
Wilson Stotlemyer and wife were
guests and became sick also. DR.. La
mar called and he pronounced that the
parties had all been poisoned. He re-
main ed at the house all night using
his utmost skill to save the lives of the
unfortunate persons. Up to Wednes-
day morning all of them were alive,
though yet very seriously i'll. One OF
the children, however, will probably
die, its constitution being too weak to
assist in counteracting the effects Of the
poison.
There are several theories as TO how
the poisoning was accomplished. 1t is
remembered that on Sunday while the
coffee was being made three mel en-
tered the house and one of them went
to the cook stove with the apparent OBJ
ject of lighting his pipe. 1t is sup
posed by some that he dropped poison
in the coffee pot. DIR. Lamar's opinion
is that the coffee was not sufficiently
Drowned. 1t is well known fact that
green coffee contains a considerable
degree of poison, and when not
thoroughly Drowned results in deleteri-
OTIS effects; but we had no idea that it
would cause such extreme cases of
sickness and even death.
There is much excitement in the
community, and the greatest sympathy
is felt for the sufferers. 1t can hardly
be credited that there was an intention
al poisoning of these parties, for so far
as is known they have no enemies and
are very popular and respectable citi-
zens.--Hdgeystown Ners.

M CENTENNIAL MATTERS IN WEST
V1Rers1A-Gov. JACOBS VIEws.-We
copy the following extract from the
New York Herald of Tuesday last =
In reference to this matter reporter
of the Herald called upon Governor
Jacobs to ascertain bis views. The
Governor was found at his residence,
seated near a bright coal fire, in the
quiet enjoyment OF pipe, the fragrant
wreaths Of smoke testifying that the
weed he used was a product OF the
sacred soil of the Mother State. In
reply to various inquiries be said that
though he strongly favored the great
aims and objects of the Centennial, ne
had made no reference to it in his last
annual Message to the Legislature,
which body he was glad to state was
about to pass law appointing three
commissioners, whose duty it will be to
see that West Virginia is properly rep
resented at the Exhibition.
Hon. A. T. Boteler, of this State, a
former member of the United States
Congress, is one of the Vice Presidents
of the Centennial, and as he is great
personal friend of the Governor he will
have the moral aid and support of the
Executive in all he undertakes in its
behalf. Individually" said the Gov
ernor, in explanation Of his position,
II strongly favor the Centennial; but l
deemed it proper and polite not to ad-
wise the Legislature on the subject, but
rather to let that body act for itself:
/ wish the State represented, but 1
think the Legislative branch of the gov
eminent should control the matter An
appropriation fully adequate to the
means and financial standing of the
State will be made, to insure Q :. first fl,
class representation" The Governor
added that West Virginia would make
show that would surprise even the
great iron and coal State-Pennsylya-
MIA.

tlemau, who has been Pastor of the
Lutheran Church of this town, during
the last three years and six months,
preached his farewell sermon on Sunday
morning last to a crowded audience.
His sermon was appropriate and affect
ing, and during its delivery tears were
shed profusely among the congregation.
AT night the members of the Young
Mems Christian Association, of which
he was a member, held farewell meet
ing. Mr.. John Aglionby, member of
of the Association, delivered the fare
well address, which was chaste and
BETTING. MIR. Hawkins replied in an
appropriate manner. Rev. Mr.. Neel,
of the NJ. f. Church South, member Of
the Association, was called upon to ad-
dress the meeting, and did so in behalf
of the Association. The Choir per-
formed excellent music. Mr.. Geo. Nc
Glincy, member of the Association pre-
sided over the meeting. Altogether,
the meeting, complimentary to Mr..
Hawkins, was of an interesting charac-
ter, and will long be remembered. Mr..
Hawkins moved to Middletown, Md,
on Thursday last, to take charge OF the
Lutheran Congregation of that town,
as Pastor. He and his family have the
we'll wishes of this entire community

Judge Nelson made request that the
female portion Of the attendants on the
Beecher trial remain away from the
court room for few days, as matters
were likely to come up which it would
be better for them not to hear. But the
request was not needed. The average
Brooklyn women seems not easily frigh-
tened with the obscenity of the scandal
trial, and the day following Judge
Nelson's request, more ladies were IN
attendance that on any previous day.
His request seemed to excite their curl
osity, as it indicated that something
would likely be drawn out more obscene
that anything adduced by Bessie Tur-
ner The Brooklyn women are study.
