PRIDE.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

BY JOHN G. SAKE.
'Tis curious fact as ever was known
In human nature, but often shown
Alike in castle and cottage,
That pride, like pigs of a certain breed,
Will manage to live and thrive on ''feed,
As poor as a pauper's pottage.
OF all the notable things on earth
The queerest one is pride of birth
Among our fierce Democracy"
A bridge across a hundred years,
Without prop to save it from sneers-
Not even a couple of rotten peers ....
A thing for laughter, sneers and jeers
Is American aristocracy. e.G --E
Depend upon it, my snobbish friend:
Your family thread you can't ascend
Without good reason to apprehend.
You may find it waxed at the further
end
By some plebeian vocation!
Or, worse than that, your boasted line
That plagued some worthy relation.
Because you flourish in worldly affairs.
Don't be naughty and put on airs
With insolent pride of station;
Don't be proud and turn up your nose
At poorer people in palmer clothes,
But learn, for the sake of your minds
repose,
That wealth's bubble that comes and
goes,
And that all proud flesh, wherever it
grows,
Is subject to irritation.

Educational.

One of the greatest evils con
nected with our system of educa.
tion arises from the fact that false
inducements are almost universally
placed before the public. And is
constantly stimulated by unreal ob.
jects. Instead of being impressed
with the idea that the great and
chief end of an education is to fit
him to perform well whatever duties
in life it may befalI him to be charg-
ed with, he is made believe that he
may yet become a President, Gov
ernor, or member of Congress, as
though public position was the pass
port to honor and respectability
alone. He is virtually taught both
by precept and example, that he
may acquire a great fortune, as
though wealth were the chief end Of
human existence. He is frequently
taunted with the query whether he
means TO be a newer of wood and
drawer of water, or whether he wish
es to remain a farmer or mechanic
for life. as though the labor of the
hand and sweat of the brow were
the sum of human evil, and the sign
and seal of human degradation.
The average American girl is ire
parably spoiled, ere yet she scarce
ly reaches her teens, by false aud
superficial ideas as to the true aims
of life, by an indisposition for
health-giving labor, and by visiona-
ry notions of her relations to the
other sex and to society. The aver
age American servant girl has out
grown her business, and now assumes
to dictate terms to the helpless mis-.
tress of the household she conde-
scends to serve. The average Ameri-
can boy knows more than his father,
IS master of his mother, disrespect-
'ul to his superiors, and insolent to
everybody. These are the outcome
Of wrong motives and mistaken
methods applied in the early stages
If educational development.

physician. Take two tablespoon

A Judicial TribuIatiOn.

A small boy was brought before q
| Magistrate in Pottsville, the other
day, upon a serious charge. He was
little fellow, with red head, and
his face speckled like a guinea egg.
A tuft of hair stuck through the top
of a pointed slouehed hat, and his
knees shone through holes in those
portions of his pants. His mother
held him fast, and as she struggled
into the office, the boy swung back
like contrary mule at the end of
halter.
What's the matter?'' said the
magistrate.
Everything" said the woman.
"He's bad; he's rotten bad, and
thar amt NO doing nothin' wi him.
Thar amt a cherry tree round the
town LIE don't know, and thar amt
a cat what shows its nose that he
don't let drive wi stone. Thar
amt a door bell he hain't pulled,
and a high hat when thar's snow jest
sets him in fit until lie gets a lick
in at it. I have worn out three bibles
reading 'um to him, but it don't do
no good. All the trees in the back
yard have been killed getting
switches off to lick 'um, and he chaws
all the terbacker that the old man
can buy. He's a-breaking of my
heart, and 1 wants him punished.

said the woman, that ERE boy

The Experience of Newspaper
Men.


Rev. Dewitt Talmage said recent
ly in one of his sermons: lone
of the greatest trials of the news
paper profession is that its members
are compelled to see more of the
shams of the world than any other
profe ssion. Through every news
paper office, day after day, so all the
vanities that want to be puffed all
the reyenges that want to be reap
ed: all the mistakes that want to be
corrected; all the dull speakers
who want to be taught eloquent; all
the meanest that want to get it
wares noticed gratis in the editorial
columns in order to save the tax Of
the advertising columns; all the
men who want to oe set right who
were never right; all the crack
Drained philosophers with stories as
long as their hair. and as gloomy as
their finger nails in mourning be-
cause bereft of soap-all the bores
who come to stay five minutes, but
talk five hours. Through the editori-
al and reportorial rooms all the foilies
aud shams of the world are seen day
after day, and the temptation is to
believe in neither God. man nor wo-
men. It is no surprise to me that in
this profession there are some skep-
tical men / only wonder that jour
nalis.s believe anything"

Summer Fashions.

Jennie June says in her August
fashion letter:
The stylish bonnet this season is
a coarse straw turned up on one
side. the somewhat broad brim lined
with pale blue, or ivory white tur-
quoise (twilled) silk. the trimming
consisting Of dog roses, and fine
crepe lisse plating, or rows of tiluel :
vallenciennes lace. The hat is
known in Paris as the" A1ever7aat, .
and all the young ladies wear it
with pretty lawn or cambria dress,
and lace mits, white or black. sb47l
These cambric costumes consist
of a walking skirt and long half
fitting paletot. the skirt is gored
and trimmed with two gathered or
fine side plated flounces, the paletot,
edged with a plating, headed by
fold, some with lace. They are
made in brown, blue, pink, and gray
striped, and checkered linen. and
cotton (Alsace cotton). and are en-
tirely without looping or drapery.
But how comfortable! and what a
relief to get rid of the horrid mess
of wrinkles and punches we have
been sitting upon for the last three
or four years torture fully equal to
that old method of walking with
peas in your shoes. No tournure,
no dress improVers, only neatness,
cleanliness, and simplicity. The
Breton costume is the most in favor
for outdoor games, such as croquet,
archery, and the like, and the pretti-
est consist of a red skirt, with white
bands stitched on, and white flannel
overdress with bands of Indian
cashmere upon the front, sides
pockets and cuffs. And white fam
mel with bands of Indian cashmere
or embroidery is very effective also,
but the red, with red stockings and
Saratoga tie shoes, is, as the young
ladies say, ''too killing for anything"
OF course the skirt must not be
made too long in fact tits decided
ly short, especially in front.
With the Breton dress the Breton
hat should be worn, hat which is
round, rather helmet shaped, is
worn over the forehead, and mag or
may not be turned up at The back

The small parasols introduced in
5he beginning of the season have had
q great success, and as ''parasol-
ettes'' are purchased to match every
costume.

AN OPEN NOTE TO LEWIS.
The Secret Revealed as to the
Punger GOard.
TATE spRINes, Aug. 5, ".

Ale OEhlNOS3 aug y, GGs .
: To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The Hawkins county man seems
? lately disposed to complain at some
of the raps that have been given
him from different directions. He,
however, tells them to pitch in. that
he can stand it. 1 imagine that he
is like the old negro was by his sore
foot, who could get no rest on ac-
count of the pain. and as finality,
held out his foot, shaking his fist
over it said "Jes hurt on, old fel.
low,-guess this chile can stan it if
you can" Then as he stands it so
well. we will say that we don't al
together like the manner in which
he speaks of the whisky raid of
Gen. Cooper & Co. We mean where
he denominates it, That Big Ike
Raid Now we confess that in our
younger days we had a "kinder
hankerin' arter" the stuff, but when
we were married, we came home one
day and. says our better half, now
Ike, you have gone, and been, and
went, and-well, the rest that she
said was emphasized so emphatical-
ly with the broom-stick. that where
as before that time, we had |
"hankerin' :" and now we don't |
g hanker,' and more than that we
would like to see any man get us to
"hanker" when Sarah James
around. Now, if Lewis L. had a
Sarah Jane to talk to him awhile
about hankerin'' you bet he
would not be so anxious about tue
" probable cost of punger goard
of moonshine over in the Ridge" ;
What need lie care about " the pro- !
bable cost?" etc. Tells the boys {
not to go to the show; that he has {
spent his last fifty cents, and never {
expects to see another. So what diff
ference can probable cost " make c
o him. No, sir, this is all dodge e
,f his, TO find out what a punger y
goard is. He has asked the ques- b
ion direct, a time or two through t.

he desired information. Now, if fl
We were to tell him. he would blab Ii
all over the country and make q b

f we tell what punger goard is e
-e must obligate Lewis L. to keep W
a secret. We are going to tell, h
nd if Lewis has not the " discern Ell
