Late Marriages.

1t is to be deplorsd that our young
people are reluctant to marry because
they cannot at once set up expensive
and stylish housekeeping. Late mar
riages are becoming so highly chArac-
teristic of our social life, on these false
and selfish grounds Of social econ omy,
that society. as \ whole, and religious
life in particular, are seriously dam
aged. If man has gained position
that enables him to marry with srdi-
nary prudence, let him marry, and let
not the prudence be pressed too hard; ;
young love, if true and godly, will
make early struggle wholesome and
Joyous. If he has found woman who
will make him happy, let him take
her to a modest home, the loving wife
of his youth. His life will be better
for it, and his fortunes too.

Oakland and Deer Park can boast
of their new and elegant hotels Cum
berland is proud of the Queen City,
and why should not Frostburg have
one to brag about?
The article in last weeks JOURNAL,
written from here last August by a
correspondent of the Baltimore San,
refers to apublic meeting then recent
ly held in the interest of proposed
new hotel. This reference rAfreshes
our memory with the fact that at that
time new hotel stock was booming !;
that all the efforts of either bulls
or "bears" could not get it below par,
and we were laboring under kind of
hallucination that by the present time
trip to the depot upon the arrival
of any train would afford US the ex-
quisits pleasure of hearing amid the
general jargon of Grand Central T.

Commonwealth Of Massachusetts, 1876.
l. Lose no time. Garry out these
directions on the spot.
q Remove the froth and mucous
from the mouth and nostrils.
3. Hold the body, for a few seconds
only, with the head hanging down, SO
that the water may run out of the
lungs and windpipe,
4. Loosen all tight articles of cloth
ing about the neck and chest.
5. See that the tongue is pulled for
ward if it falls back into the throat.
By taking hold of it with a handker-
chief it will not slip.
6. If the breathing has ceased, or
nearly SO, it may be stimulated by
pressure of the chest with the hands,
in imitation of the natural breathing,
forcibly expelling the air from the
lungs, and allowing it to re-enter and
expand them by the elasticity of the
ribs. Remember that this is the most
important step of all.
To do it readily, lay the person on
their back, with a cushion, pillow, or
some firm substance under the should
ers; then press with the fat Of the
hands over the lower part of the
breast bone and tbs upper part Of the
abdomen, keeping up irregular rspetl-
ton and relaxation of pressure twenty
or thirty times mipute. A pressure
of thirty pounds may be spilled with
safety to a grown person.
7. Rub the limbs rith the hands,
or with dry cloths, constantly, to aid

warm.
8. As soon as the person can swal-
low, give tablespoonful Of spirits IN
hot water, or some water, or some
warm tea or coffee.
9. Work deliberately. Do not give
up too quickly. Success has reward
ed the efforts Of hours.

The above scene represents a train of
of Cumberland and Piedmont palace cars
laden with summer visitors passing by
without knowing our hotel is built
Likewise tramp in the foreground But
by close optical application the hotel may
be discerned with the naked eye in the d s.
tance, just under the snow-capped Savages.
The idea of summer hotel in our
town is not ono of recent dat. by any
means. For years it has been tossed
and cufed around like bss. ball in
match by the storeb box loafers as they,
with mathematical precision, have ar
ranged their seats in bass lin.s and
ansles, and have followed the margin
Of shade ON either side of the street
to avoid the efulgent rays of a sum
mer Gun.
With the annual approach of the
heated term the advantages of such
hotel are ably and thoroughly dis
cussed, and the conclusion reached
that such building is essential to the
future welfare of the town; that the
annual influx Of visitors is proof posi-
tive that it will pay and that it must
certainly be erected by ne1t summer.
But summers have come and sum-
mers have gone, and the only reas1n
We can assign why such hotel, with
its towering walls and architectural
beauty, has not long ago adorned our
principal throughfare is the lack of
the whsrewithal to set the thing
aqoin'. Stock companies, industrial
enterprise and foreign capital have
been canvasssd and laid aside as i'm
practicable.
One of our local politicians whose
identity might be determined by a
prominent forehead and eagle eye,
cleaning out diamond like from be-
meath the rim of many and varied
styles of beaver and silk, has raised
his voice in behalf of the cause and
brought into play all tn, arguments
which the ingenuity of a gifted intel
lect could devise to further the object,
but ell the enthusiasm has thus far
been in vain.
The public meeting held at Odd
Fellows Opera House last August
created the impression that the mat
ter would then assume definite shape,
but our faith in public meetings for
building hotels was always decidedly
weak. We think if Frostburg is to
be noted for anything it should be for
raising petitions and holding public
meetings. With little canvassing a
petition can be gotten up to hang a
man and the chances are the victims
own signature would appear among
the rest. 1t is because people gener-

A Man of Sense on the Press.

Reu. 4. K. Potter, Springfield, Mass.
1t ought to be remembered that
printing a newspaper is a business,
not undertaken primarily as an ele-
ment of reform in the community
though it is refreshing now to see how
all the journals on both sides of the
political house are mad for reform
awful mad, hot. A paper means bust
ness; it is published as livelihood
for profit, in hard cash. We have no
right to demand that these papers
take up our interests, advocate our
plans and moral works, any more
than we have a right to demand such
a thing of any other business, or Of
any department of the government as
the office for instance. A paper
must furnish what its readers demand,
or any considerable number of them,
for it has all sorts of people for sub
scribers and buyers. Just as it is easy
to be benevolent with other people S
money, so it is easy for us to say to
the editor of our paper, "You must
not give place to such an article, ;
when its exclusion might cost him
hundreds of dollars, and its insertion

THE AMERICAN cYCL0P-0IA

Within the last ten years the progress
of discovery in every department Of knoWl-
edge has made a new work OF reference an
imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has
kept pace with the discoveries of science
and their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts ana the convenience
and retinemrn of social life Great wars
and consequent revolutions have occurred,
involving national changes of peculiar mo-
ment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last vol
ume of the old work appeared, has happily
been ended, and a new course of CONNER
cial and industrial activity has been com

General Items.

DE-. BEARD states that from an an
alysis of the lives of 4 thousand rep
ressntative men in all the great
branches of the human family, he
made the discovery that the golden
decade was between 40 and so; the
brazen between 20 and 80; the iron
between so and CO. The superiority
of youth and middle life over old age
in original work appears all the great
er when we consider the fact that all
the positions of honor and prestige
profe.sorships and public stations
are in the hands of the old. Reputa-
ton, like money and position, is main
ly confined to the old. Men are not
widely known until long after they
have done the work that gives them
their fame. Portraits of great men
are dslusions; statues are lies They
are taken when men become famous,
which, on the average, is at least
twenty five years after they did the
work which gave them their fame.
Original work requires enthusiasm.
1fall the original work done BY men
under forty-fve were annihilatsd, they
would be reduced to barbarism. Men
are at their best at the time when en-
thusiasm and experience are almost
evenly balanced. This period, on the
average, is from 39 to 40. After this
the law is that experience increases
but enthusiasm decreases.

1t is no trouble in Frostburg to get
up public meeting. With the aid of
a few handbills stating the object and
twenty -four hours notice, the largest
hall can be well filed, but as gener-
al thing their results may be summed
up thus The meeting is held. the sub
jsct discussed the meeting adjourns,
and the matter is consigned to obliv-
| ion.
For proof of this we refer to the
past. Immediately after the fire of
February, 1874, public meeting was
held in Porters Hall for the purpose
of taking some action by which better
fire protection could be secured. The
hall was filled, talk was cheap and
many speakers, full to the taroat with
logic and arguments, from the rostrum
relieved themselves of an unusual
amount of "chin music on the dss-
tructiveness of fires in general and
that one in particular. But the meet
ing adjourned; fire protection first
fell to a discount, and then died
natural death.
A few months later the fire fend
again held high carnival in our midst
without water, hooks or ladders to cr-
rest its course; nothing could be done
but remove what was removable and
let the remainder burn.
At the hotel meeting in August e
committee was appointed to view sites,
obtain prices and report at subse-
quent meeting This committee dis
charged its duty faithfully. They
peramulated Frostburg and invssti
gated the various sites as close y as .
constable, armed with . warrant,
would search for horss-thief.
If the hotel could be erected,
AS easily as site selected,
Then we would willingly engage
Parlors on the ninth floor
And with the aid of balloon
Ascend to our room
And view the beauteous landscape DER.
At the second public meeting the
committee made report of the cost
of the various sites and Immediately
the work of canvassing for subscrip-
tion to stock was commenced.
But, alas for human hopes! From
that time the hotel fever which had
been raging at about l4O0 Fahren-
heit began to cool and was finally
swamped and forgotten amid the
general excitement of the Presiden-
tial canvass and the anxiety of our
citizens to ascertain who is to be our
next Postmaster.
The new hotel is thing of the
past. Let US soon call another public
meeting and appoint the bailitf GEM
mittee of one to inscribe on conspic-
uous lamp-post with fearful eyes the
following epitaph:
In memory
of our new
hotel whose pros
poets for completion
during the centennial year
were at one time bright, but
terminated as abruptly as the road over
which lonely traveller once pursue d
his winding way, first presenting
the appearance of macadamized
pike, but soon merged into "a
corduroy, then dwindled
to a bride path and fin
ally ended by run
ming up hick-
cry tree.
