and trials of the past week, for It's Sun
day, Gods holy day. Let the dead past

OF little faith" by attending divine SER

street car ticket or nickel
along with you and drop 1t in
the contribution basket. "He that giveth
to the poor lendeth to the Lord" There
are many poor who are unable to keep
the wolf from them; the churches are
constantly called upon for assistance and
they can only help the deserving when
their own members come to the rescue
We have much to be grateful for
here in Wheeling; no sickness, business
if not better, at least equally as good as
elsewhere; hundreds of our citizens who
have been away have returned in safety
to their homes; truly one and al should
be grateful. So drop the hackneyed say

A GREAT BENEFIT.-The Street Raj,

A GREAT BENEFIT.-The Street Rail-
way Company, in CONNECTION with the
Bridge Company, has provided what is
known as the seven-inch fiat rail-such
as is laid on the suspension bridge
which they propose to lay in place of the
present Il rail, from the Grant
House corner to the bridge,
and from the west side of
the suspension bridge to the round house
and likewise on the track approaches of
the back river bridge, on both sides to be
altered to the fiat rail. These changes
will be looked upon by teamsters with
great satisfaction. It's an improvement
that has been long needed.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Coal for the Poor--A Suqqe ton
FRosTRURG, Dec. q, 1876.

FRosTRURG, Dec. 81, 1876.
Mr.. Editor i observe in the
Cumberland papers notices of the lib
eral donations of coal to the poor of
that city by our coal agents.
We have had so far a very severe
winter, and the reliability is it will
hold out so for the next three months.
This will make fuel an item of decid-
ed solicitude to our poor people. We
all know that work in the mines has
been nearly altogether suspended !;
that money is hard to get, and that
many families are in want. Although
coal is cheaper here than abroad, yet
if people have not much or little, the
cheapness does them no good. They
are net able to buy, and, unless aided,
must suffer.
Our coal companies have made ex-
cellent records, and, l believe, if called
upon, will contribute to our poor also
We have, also, what Cumberland
has not-many kind feeling miners
who would doubtless contribute few
hours labor digging such coal, there
by not taxing the companies too
much.
Would it not be we'll if some of our
fellow citizens would take this matter
in hand? Could better Christmas
work be inaugurated?

Cheap Coal.

FRosTBURG, Dec. 81, 1876
Mr.. Editor In the last issue of
the JOURNAL the announcement was
quoted that the coal companies were
contemplating large reduction in the
miners wages after New Years day.
do not propose to discuss the mer-
it's or demerits of this measure; |
leave this to men more competent than
myself. | wish to ask but one ques-
ton: Why is it that during the hard
times the people living right N the
midst of the coal fields have to pay to
the coal companies $3.50 for ton OF
coal-the same price as was paid them
during the war? In cities far away
from the coal fields people no longer
pay war prices fer coal, But the peo-
pie of Frostburg and all such as live
in the very heart of the coal fields, are
still paying the old war price fol-
COAL viz : $3.50.
| am informed that even the people
of Cumberland actually get their coal
cheaper than the citizens Of Frost
burg. Why this discrimination a aoainst
the people residing at or near the coal
mines? Are they to be treated worse
than people living at good distance
from the coal fields? The miners
thus far have been paid IS cents for
mining a ton of coal, but, owing to
modifying circumstances, it is said
that they are actually digging coal at
so cents per ton. Making a fair al
lowance for delivering their coal at
the dump, it is evident that the coal
companies have been making all along
over one hundred per cent. profit OF
the people of the coal region, which
is, to say the least, an extortion.
Let the coal companies reduce the
price of their COAL at home. to 81 pei
ton; but before they do this they are
unjust even to hint at reducing tn,
miners wages.

Heaven bless all human kind,

Deeply learned or dwarfed in mind,
High in birth or low in station.
All possess the spark divine,
And though one may rank another,
Each by light bestowed doth shine
Man should see in man brother.
God bless us all
Why should he with store of gold
Scorn his brother poor and lowly?
Death marks all of human mould
Charity lone is holy,
Why should intellect decry
0btuse souls of vision DINNER?
He who made us all knows why
One should shine, another simmer.
God bless us all
Weare faulty, every one
We must err for we are human
There not beneath the sun
Any perfect man or woman
Let us then resolve to he
Patient and forbearing ever
Could we our own tobles see,
We would blame our neighbor never.
God bless US all
Life is al too short to hate
Even if pursued by malice
Better for the nectar wait
Than to seize the poisona chalice.
We must take the good and i'll
While for human kind we labor
Let us mind this precept still
