AN exchange editor, who got the
mitten, in anguish exclaimed: 4" My
dear friends, remember,
A woman with a winning face,
But with heart untrue,
Though beautiful, is valusless
As diamonds formed of dew"
Some lady should, out Of compassion,
now that this is leap-year, find out who
he is, and propose marriage. Doubt
less that would set bim right once more.

JUNIATA COUNTY NORMAL SCHOOL.
This well known School will open
April 10th, 1876, under the manage
ment of John NJ. Garman, Id the School
House in Mifflntown, for term of
eiepen week. a marked change takes
place in the sessions, as heretofore there
have been two-a Spring and Fall
session. This year there will be but
one session, as the examinations will
take place early in August, and the
Principal will not have the time to at
tend to other than the duties of his
office. Tuition for the term will be
the same as formerly. Competent, ex-
perienced assistants will be employed,
and 1t is the intention of the school to
continue to merit its present standing
as an educational motor. Normal
training will be even more practical
than hitherto, because o: the opportu-
nifty afforded the Principal to note the
errors in school management, the lack
of professional zeal as well as the good
practices of the most successful teach
ers. 1t is hoped our citizens will give
it hearty support, and thus assist in
building Up a school in our midst
whereby our children may be educated
under home influences and parental in
spection.

quite entertaining, as well as instruct
i've. The young man who misspelled
"wimen" seemed very desirous of OBJ
taiulng one after the school closed
The young DR.. who seldom misspelis a
word, did not succeed in getting the
"radlous" of one of Mother Mobiles
medicine bottles. A bee was also held
at Red Bank school house few even ..
ings later, which was largely attended
and quite success. On the first of
April next, Goodwill will disgorge it
self of about half of its citizens, but
will be filled by others who will keep
the wheel moving.
Some people seem to think it is con-
dusive to longevity to swallow tobacco

young men who attend school, as 1t

ThesTramp Printer,

An out-and- out "tramp," in broken
boots, soilsd shirt, and very dis
couraging suit of clothes, dropped into
a composing-room of a Rhode Island
daily one day, and requested some
subbing." He was worn out, he
added, had walked from Worcester, aud
hadn't had a square meal for week.
One of the typos "put him on" and
giving him half a dollar, told him to go
and get something to eat and come
round at seven o'clock sharp for " COM
position" The tramp" shuffled off,
but shuflsd back again at seven o'clock
and began to pile up the type at rate
of speed that made tho heads of the
chaps fairly swim. He gave his whole
attention to business rs he snaked up a
"phat ad." off the hook which all the
others had been working for dear life
to get hold of some one venturedto say
that he was doing pretty well for a
starter. "Yes, tolerably well,' he re-
piled, as he skipped back to his cease
and " set up" a line in about second.
"Doing as good as 1 generally do when
am short of rations. 1 am as hungry
as shark tonight" "Hungry!" re-
peated two in chorus. Haven't you
had your dinner 2" eyes, sort of o
dinner" he remarked, "but an empty
comp can't spread himself on fifteen
cents, you know" "Fifteen cents, u
said another in surprise. "He said he
gave you half dollar" 4" So he did, y
responded the tramp, as he reached foi
o fl, "but paid out thirty five OF il
for getting my mustache colored. .
The musical click of the types as they
were dropped into the sticks was al
that broke the stiffness in that office fol
! the next half hour.

Oil Yourself q Little,

There is true humor in the following
story Once upon time there lived an
old gentleman in large house. He had
servants and everything he wanted; yet
he was not happy; and when things did
not go as he wished he was very cross.
at last his servants left him. Quite out
OF temper he went to neighbor with a
story OF distress.
"It seems to me-" said the neighbor,
sagaciously, 'twould be well for you
to oil yourself little."
To oil myself"
Yes; and l will explain. Some time
ago one of the doors in my house creak-
ed. Nobody, therefore, liked to go in
or out by it. One day I oiled its hinges,
and it has been constantly used by
everybody ever since"
"Then you think / am like the creak
ing door," cried the old gentleman.
" How do you want me to oil myself q"
"That's an easy matter" said the
neighbor. SEQ home and engage a
servant, and when he does right praise
him. If, on the contrary, he does
something amiss do not be cross; oil
your voice and words with the oil of
love-"
The old gentleman went home, and
no harsh or ugly words were ever heard
in the house afterward. Every family
should have bottle of this precious oil,
for every family is liable to have creak-
ing hinge in the shape of fretful dis
position, cross temper, q harsh tone
or fault finding spirit,

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

Fine manners are the mantle of fair
minds.
Men love to be adored, but hate to be
reproved.
The world is his who can see through
its pretension.
Times chariot wheels make their
road in fairest face.
We are only really alive when we
enjoy the good of others.
Faith builds bridge across the gulf
Of death.
Little things on little wings, bear little
souls to heaven.
Born. lived and died, sum up the
great epitome of man.
There is no good this world can give
like that il takes away.
One must do more when one is old
than when one is young.
Love is the ladder on which we climb
to the likeness of God.
A great heart is as quick to find an :.
other out as the world is slow.
Who knows not love in sorrows
night, he knows not love in light.
The best days OF o mans life are
those in which he effects the most good.
That is reacherous friend against
whom you must be always on your
guard.
Occasions OF adversely best discover
how great virtue or strength each one
hath.
When all is done, human life is at the
greatest and the best, but like froward
child that must be played With and hu.
mored little to keep it quiet till it falls
asleep and then the care is over.
The perpetual silt of some one weak
ness, the oddies of q suspicious temper
depositing their one impalpable layer
after another, may build up shoal on
which an heroic life and otherwise mag
nanimous nature may bilge and so to
pieces.
1t is no great matter to associate with
the good and gentle; for thisis naturally
pleasing to all, and every one willingly
enjoyeth peace and loveth those best
that agree with him. But to be able to
live peaceably with hard and perverse
persons, or with the disorderly, or such
as go contrary to US, is a great grace and
most commendable and manly thing.

A Life Picture.

A missionary of the Presbyterian
Church in the Black Hills writes under
date OF October 90: On Saturday 1
preached the funeral sermon of a young
man aged twenty-six. from Bedford
county, Pa. He had just married and
lett his young bride, to dig gold. He
died In q cabin without window or
stove. Two beds on pins upon the side
OF the wall and the cooking utensils
were all the furniture. The sun was
fast sinking behind the hill and the
great pines threw long weird shadows
across the valley. The scene-the
manly but youthful dead face, and the
poor young wife (who was told was a
mere child), with the solemn stiffness of
the wild, strong mon occasionally heav-
ing sob, almost overcame me.

FIFTEEN MONTHS for 81.
A WOefuI Failure.

The San Francisco Ne,cs- Letter tells
the following: A pathetic story has been
going the rounds of the papers as to the
manner in which Watched, the great
tenor, first became known and famous.
This narrates how he was originally
poor cab driver at Dresden, and that one
wintry night as lie was singing to him
self upon his box the audience OF the
Grand Opera began to disperse. How
the heentranced multitude gathered around
the unconscious cabby. How he finish
ed his solo amid storm of applause;
and how the very next day large purse
was subscribed to send him to the Con-
servatory at Paris. Mr.. Schengler, who
lives over on Rincon He'll, and who is
also German, was much affected by
this story, and as he, too, had voice he
determined to be sent to Paris at once.
So one evening he waited until the
California Theater began to let ont, and,
mounting the box OF hack in front OF
it, he lifted up his voice aud sang. The
tumultuous crowd was instantly hushed
and stopped transfxed, as with closed
eyes, the absorbed singer sat, his whole
inspired soul floating out in glad trium-
phant notes. The selection chosen by
MIR. Schengler was "Tommy, Make
Room for Your Uncle" one of the best
of its kind, but We regret to say that at
the end of the third verse a brickbat
struck Mr.. Schengler Immediately be-
meath the right ear, knocking him over
the dashboard, following which he was
walked over and his neck stepped upon
by the thoughtless throng. Mr.. Schen
gler is convinced there is fraud about
this Wachtel story somewhere.

Gatting Poor.

The little daughter Of a very
wealthy New Yorker happened not
long ago to hear her small school
mates copgratulating themselves and
one another upon the regularity with
which their fathers said grace at table.
Her father did not say grace, and, OPP
pressed by a sense of inferiority, the
little one wept that evening and be-
sought him to.do it. He said he thought
it was time he began, and asked bless
ing with all proper feeling at breakfast
next morning. "A younger sister OF his
little homilist, young lady still in the
nursery. who had not heard the previous
conversation, looked mp surprised; then
her face cleared. 81 know what you
does at for, papa" said she; SITS
'tause you'se gettin' poor !"

The Sick Male.

Perhaps, says an exchange, the most
doleful spectacle that can be presented
to the imagination is that OF man af-
fiicted with toothache. 1t certainly ie a
most wearing and distressing pain still,
it has been endured at different times
by almost every one. 1t is edifying to
note that though, when any one else has
been attacked with the same torment,
he has recommended instant recourse to
dentist, and has derided any back
wardness in following his advice as
cowardice, he is, when his own time
comes, no more eager to plant himself
In the chair of doom than we're his des
pissed friends, and is fertile in inventing
expedients for putting of the evil day,
if the pain abates, to a remote date. A
woman must be very near, indeed, akin
to an angel who, after. her husband or
some other near male relative has for
years laughed to scorn her complaints of
agonizing neulalgia-telling her it :" is
all fancy" "only nerves could it be
anything worseO, that she would never
have it if she did otthink about it, or If
she took more exercise, or if she did
something or other totally out OF her
power to do-does not, sorry as she may
be that he should suffer, feel certain
satisfaction when the enemy seizes upon
him and he is made to feel what she has
endured.
The absurdity of mems utterances
never seems to strike them even when
they gravely affirm that no one can pos
sibly gauge their sufferings from an Or
dinary cold in the head. There is no
otfense so great as to try and persuade a
man that, disagreeable as it may be, it
is but temporary inconvenience, which,
in very short space of time, will pass
away, leaving not trace behind he re-
CARDS this simple exposition OF fact as
most unfeeling, and bemoans himself
plaintively that no one cares whether he
is i'll or not. He believes firmly that he
is model Of patience under suffering.
The women about him will be wise if
they abstain from irritating him by any
refutation of his preposterous fallacy.
1t may be admitted that it is difficult for
them TO hold their peace when they see
him deliberately making himself i'll by
eating or drinking what he knows from
experience will disagree with him. 1t is
not easy to be compassionate to the fit
of gout willfully brought on by drinking
sweet champagne, or to manifest deep
sympathy with headache produced by
over indulgencein picked salmon or lob
ster salad. But the victim will never
allow that imprudence has anything to
do with the matter, and persists in re-
garding himself as the martyr of cruel
fate

The Mason & Hamlin Organ Co. have
sustained their well earned reputation
as best makers Of instruments in their
line, at the Centennial. Their organs
are the only ones at the exhibition de-
clared by the judges to belong to the
first rank, and this not merely because
of one or two qualities, but in "the
several requisites "of such Instruments;
which is equivalent to saying they were
unequaled by others in any important
quality. We congratulate the company
on having added to their Paris, Vienna
and Santiago medals this emphatically

The art of cripplipg children was, it
seems, not the only one practiced by the
"Operateur." More than one poor IL
nocent had been wilfully blinded by th
atrocious torturer, and at the trial three
such victims OF his infamous abuse were
produced. The money gained by these
children was divided between Cherguille
and his sister and her paramour. The
unfortunate little ones were closely
watched, and no avenue Of escape left
open to them.
That the circumstances of the case
were not altogether unknown to the au-
thorities at Radna is patent from the
fact that the mayor and Two other Off
cials have been arrested Cor accepting
bribes to hush the matter up.
