HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
One hundred years ago wedding tours were
not fashionable.
One hundred years ago the gin best known
was not the cotton-gin.
One hundred years ago therewere no Pacif-
ic railroad subsidies
One hundred years ago farmers did not out
their legs off with moving machines.
One hundred years ago mothers did not
worry over disorderea sewing machines
One hundred years ago horses which could
trot mile in 2:14 were somewhat scarce.
One hundred years ago there was no fast
mail train between New York and Chicago.
One hundred years ago there were no dis
putes about the impoliteness of street-car
drivers.
One hundred years ago people did not enjoy
the inestimable pleasure of growing about
gas bills.
One hundred years ago g crooked "whisley
was not known. Our fore-fathers took theirs
straight.
One hundred years ago university boat clubs
were entered at pool-sales like fighting cocks
in pit.
One hundred years ago every young man
was not an applicant for position as clerk or
bookkeeper.

One of the best dement's for crockery is to
mix lime with the white of an egg. To use
it take a suffj cicnt quantity of the egg to mend
one article at time. Shave offa quantity Of
the lime and mix thoroughly. Apply quickly
to the edges and place firmly together, when
1t soon sets and becomes strong. Calcined
plaster of paris will answer in place Of the
lime.

around SOS to get chance to pick my pock-
et.'' After thinking the matter over he took
a seat on the wood-box.

vary, but it is believed that the other figures
are impartially correct.

Young Mems Lyceum, the following
named officers were elected for the
ensuing month, viz: G. Kenney,
President; MacKendrie Mathews,
Vice President VIM. Dieffenderfer
Secretary and w. Hoke, Treasurer.
An essay on Riches" was read
by a member. After quite an ami
mated and interesting debate, the
question "Is wealth more desirable
than a good education 20 was de-
cided i'll the negative.
Is the expectation of reward a
greater incentive to exertion than the
fear of punishment ?" is the question
for next meeting.

Do Everything Well.

IT Is the result OF practica! every
day experience that steady atten-
ton to matters of detail lies at the
root of human progress, and that
diligence, above all, is the mother
of good luck. Accuracy also is of
as much importance and is invar-
iably a mark of good training in
a man /; accuracy In observation,
accuracy in speech, accuracy in
the transaction of affairs. What
is done in business, must be done
well, for it is better to accomplish
perfectly small amount of work
than to half do ten times as much.
Vet, in business affairs, it is the
manner in which even small mat
tiers are transacted that often de-
eide men for or against you. With
virtue, capacity, and good con-
duct in other respects, the person
who is habitually inaccurate can
not be trusted his work has to be
gone over and over again, and he
thus causes annoyance, vexation
and trouble.

santa Claus at the Baptist Church.

We went early to the Baptist
Church Wed 'sday night to see Santa
Claus, but when we arrived at the
door found it densely packed, and
the very best we could do was to
stand in the vestibule and look
over the heads of great many
people much taller than our
self. OF course we could see but
very little and hear less of the pro-
ceedings. The exercises were OPEN
ed with singing by the school and
prayerby Rev Robert Strayer, after
which the school sang another APP
propriate piece. The Rev. Mr. Stray
er then delivered an interesting and
pertinent address to the children.
The address was followed by the
singing of a very pretty hymn,
well rendered, by the school. Rev.
l.. G. Miller then made short
speech to the children, and another
hymn was sung. At the close ofthis
hymn, veritable Old Santa Claus,
with long flowing beard, and
mufiled in furs, came up the steps
from the basement room, laden with
sacks of candy, nuts, &C., and ring
ing bell as he marched along. He
had tight seeeze to get througkthe
crowd. He was the observed of all
observers, and none welcomed his
coming with more hearty good cheer
than the little folks When he ar
rived at the space in front of thepul-
pit he took position and dealt out
treasures of sweetmeats with a lib
eral hand to the children of the
school, who approached him in dass-
es. When he had supplied each with
a generous gift, and made glad the
hearts of all the little folks, heqaiet-
ly wrapped his robes about him and
made his way cut through the crowd
and rode off to his home in the coun-
try, some two miles north of town.
The exercises, which were highly
interesting and enjoyable to the spec
tators, and doubly so to the little
folks, were closed with the doxolegy
and benediction

Tranps.

Orange county, New York, is de-
termined to get rid of tramps if pos
sible, and the authorities have, we
think, adopted a very effective plan.
Instead of feeding them, as they fed
eighteen thousand last year, the
Board of Supervisors has ordered the
erection of temporary work-houses
in each town, to which every able
bodied tramp applying for relief will
be sent for from five to sixty days,
and kept at hard work during the
whole term of imprisonment.
Nothing disgusts the professional
tramp so thoroughly as hard work.
They flee from it as from pesti-
lence, and if many of the stout fell
lows who apply for aid were preferred
it with the understanding that they
must earn their bread by the sweat
of their brow, they would soon give
all such towns wide berth.
