Let Us Take Comfort.

A lady writer says: "Comfort is an ex-
pressive word and one the real meaning
of which, applied to each of us personal
ly,i is not fully realized. As people we
seem to try how we may make ourselves
uncomfortable, and alf because we do not
appreciate what constitutes the real enjoy
ment, which is, in fact, more than enjoy
ment-personal comfort We are too
much afraid if we make ourselves CON-
Portable that we shall overstep the bounds
of p6liteness, or create the unfavorable
criticism of those higher, it may be, in
the social scale than we are, of whose
opinion we stand in mortal fear. Away
with such false notions OF personal indie
pendence, such mock adherence to the
tyranny of fashion. When we learn that
we have right to wear tight shoes or 60
barefooted, to smoke, to strain ourselves
up in corsets or wear none at all, just as
we please, if we are comfortable in so
doing, and do not interfere with the hap
piness or enjoyment Of our neighbors-
much the better will it be for us, and so
much will we have advanced toward q
truer and more sensible manner of life.
Especially at this season should we all be
firm advocates of personal comfort. We
are glad to notice increasing evidences of
some breaking of the chains of fashions
BILE folly, and the development of some
personal comfort and some independence
of character, among the residents of our
cities and large towns. If we want to
lounge on the sofa of an after dinner
Hour; iswe want to tumble on the mat
tress in. our sleeping-room in the after
moon; if we want to wear loose, easy
dresses, innocent of overskirts and frills
and unnecessary appendages; If we want
to sit under the trees on our lawns and
smoke, OF, read, or sew, or play croquet t;
or If we want to do anything or place our
selves in any position where we shall en-
joy personal comfort-in the name of all
that is sensible and lawful, let us do it.
What if the bed is tumbled and the room
cluttered up, and Mrs. Smallrice does see
us in a calico dress, SO long as we are CON-
fortable2s Is anybody's business but our
own that we play croquet, or lounge on
the veranda in sight of passers-by, or
smoke, or read. wholesome novels, SO long
as wei pay ohribills, observe the moral
law and the golden, rule, and do not talk
about our neighbofsa Then let us take
comfort in any way or Ut any place we
please, where we do not make q breach OF
good manners, or trespass upon the rights
Of others. As much as possible let us live

times in the day,to the parlor or library--and

| Immodest words admit of no defense,
| For want OF decency is want of sense.
If there be any misapplication predica-
bic of these words it is rather in the rea-
son given by the author than in the use
made by those who quote them. In any
case the last line is true; but in offenses
against society no excuse on behalf Of the
offender is regarded as more available than
to say he knew no better. Even the Apos-
tie Paul affirmed, in a certain sense, its
validity when, in speaking Of his bias
phemy against Christ, aud his persecution
of the church before he became a believer,
he said: "But l obtained mercy because
did it ignorantly in unbelicf." The plea,
however, to be urged by permission of the
offender requires such a degree of humil-
ity, or rather of self-abnegation, as to be
says: "Most people would rather be &C.
counted knaves than FOOLS" Possibly
Mr.. Pope had this fact in mind when pen
ming these lines; but if he had he would
! have been nearer the truth, and not whit
the less biting, if he had said, substantially,
in his smooth verse:
| That want of decency is want of sense;
and perhaps this is what he intended.
What euerybody says mast be true
There are certain deep and rcsistless in
buttons possessing the universal mind
such as belief in the existence of God
and in the Immortality of the soul-which
might be safely received as true, even if
they had no other support than their evil
dent adaptcdness to the necessities of our
being, and the fact that they impress all
unbiased minds alike, thus beautifully H.
Illustrating the sententious old maxim of
the Romans: Tor popuIi coo Del. These
| intuitions are always strongly marked
with the popularity that, although they
may not need the support of argument,
they are not opposed to reason. There
are cases, however, in which the coo pop
uti has been in direct opposition to the
coo Dei as atterward revealed by reason,
though none of these cases are OF moral
nature, nor is their accompanying perccp-
ton worthy the name OF intuition. A few
generations back, under the guidance of
another old proverb that seeing is believing,
everybody said" that the world was flat,
and that 1t was a sort of immovable center
around which daily revolved the sun,
moon and stars. But when this "voice
of the people" came to be tested by
facts, which reason proclaimed to be utter
ances of God in nature, it was found to be
utterly false, being an illusion of the
senses; the earth is not flat, nor do any of
the heavenly bodies daily rotate around
| it.. Then, again, that mysterious and all
prevailing authority known as "every-
body" is proved in many cases to be a
mere myth, being composed oftentimes of
ones own party in politics or clique in
society, while their maxims are contra
dicted by people of other parties and of
other cliques.-F e. Goulding, IN Apple-

and at Lisbon " a rafting as of coaches in
the street, with frightful noise under
ground resembling the rumbling of dis
tant thunder" At Madeira, the same
earthquake was preceded "by rumbling
noises in the air like that of empty car
riages, which died away like peal of
distant thunder" On the 10th of Septem-
Der, 1849, there was an earthquake at
Burra- Burra, in South Australia, where
the noise is said to have resembled the
rolling of heavy carriages. The shock
was followed by a flash Of lightning that

Prof. Lake writes in the Popular Science
AbntMg: Great subterranean noises and
reports resembling thunder-these occur
more or Jess during all earthquakes.
Father Kirchef Describes them as "a hor.

number of chafiofg driven fiercely for

Of the whips craeking;" Sir Hans Sloane,
in Jamaica, as ga hollow, rumbling noise
almost like that of thunder" At Colares,
near Lisbon, in 1865, during the great

BLOOM"

A little while the roses bloom,
A little while the soft winds blow,
A little while the baby laughed,
A little while-from bud to snow.
But after all the rose was sweet,
And after all the winds have blown,
And after all the baby blessed,
And after all it is our OWN.
II in our thought the rose remains,
And winds are sweet in memory,
Why should not then the baby gone
Forever be a babe to me!

Small farms make near neighbers
they make good roads; they. make plenty
of good schools and churches; there is
more money made in proportion to the
labor; less labor is wanted; everything is
kept neat; less wages have to be paid for
help; less time is wasted; more is raised
to the acre; besides, it is titled better
there is no watching of hired help; the
mind is not kept in a worry, a stew, a fret,
all the time. There's not so much fear of
drought of weather, Of frost, of small
prices. There's not so much money to be
paid out for agricultural implements. Our
wives and children have time to read, to
improve their minds. A small horse is
soon curried-and the work on a small
farm is always pushed forward in sea-
son. Give us small farms for comfort

The question, Cana man who loses a
season ticket on railroad compel the
company to give him another? has
been answered in the negative by Judge
Ross, Of Norristown, Pa. The conditions
printed upon the ticket state that if lost
or mislaid it will not be replaced by the
company. The Court ruled that the
plaintiff, having used the ticket was
bound To acduaint himself with its condi-
tions that he has no right to call upon
the defendant to replace the stolen ticket.

CLAREsnuRd, VIVA, Sept 81,
Editors Of the IntclIigcncrri
About the Goth Of August arrange
mentS were made with the Standards Of
Wheeling for match game Of base ball
on their return trip from Cumberland,
we agreeing to pay their expenses from
Grafton and return. We heard nothing
more from them until the 18th Of Sep.
TENDER, when they teIcgraphcd us, asking
il We could play the following Monday,
September Goth. We answered that 1t
would be impossible for ms to play on
Monday or. Tuesday, but that any day
after that would suit IA, and requested
an answer; but no answer came until
Tuesday morning, September 2lst, when
We received Telegram asking us to play
the next day. Although the notice was
very short, We being anxious to play
them, dispatched to them, "All right,
come" We had posters printed and cir.
Cnlated through the town and country;
arrangements were male with one Of the
hotels for the entertainment Of the
Standards, and in every way the pre-
pHrali0ns for the game were completed.
Imagine our disappointment and the dis.
appointment Of those who had come to
witness the game when on Wednesday
morning, the day appointed fur the
match, We received n telegram from the
Standards saying that lowing to Il mis-.
arrangement va will not he able to play;
will write full recount" Now, it np.
pears from local in the Register that il
was known in Wheeling before the Stand
ards left for Cumberland that they ex-
pccted to play our nine, yet they did not
let us know until the day before, evident
ly intending to take us unawares. 1t
further appears from local in the In
rELLldESCER that the Encouragement
was simply conclusion to play a second
day At Cumberland, because they had
been 20 handsomely treated thcre-a kind
OF mismanagcment that We are not able
to appreciate; nor has the promised "full
account ever come to u.s.
We sec but one logical conclusion, and
that il, they wcrc Gjrdid 10 play us. Now,
that nine in ils constant practice ~ the
Standards are, and making the preten.
sions they do, should be afraid to play a
nine making no prctensions, and with IA
little practice rs the Clarksburgs, is in.
deed an exhibition Of cownrdicc. Their
conduct from first to last forces the con.
victi0n that they were trying to come IL
snap game upon ia, and we believe the
charge Of the Bridgeport boys is true,
viz, that the Standards are not inclined
to do the fair thing.
