Praise God for lumbers of the night,
For the Weakening mornings light,
For the board with plenty spread,
Gladness DER the spirit shed,
Healthful pulse and cloualess eye,
Opening on Il smiling sky.
Love is the greatest of all reformers.
Mo one willfully wrongs those he loves.
If the world loved more it would sin
less.
A rush of thoughts is the only c%onceiv-
able prosperity that can come to us.-Ena-
erson.
The latter part of a mans life is taken
up in curing the %follies, prejudices and false
opinions he had contracted in the former.
Don't look too hard, except for some
thing agreeable. We can find all the dis
agreeable things in the world between our
own hats and boots.-Huns,
TO sheer and denounce is a very easy
way of assuming Il great deal of wisdom,
and concealing a great deal Of ignorance.
When all men shall learn that their en-
emies are also their brothers, they will hast
Ell to be reconciled, and nations will cease
to shed each others blood.
BE frugal, not mean; prudent, not sub
tile; complaisant, not s%ervile active in bus
mess, but not its slave. There are also four
other habits which are essentially necessary
to the happy management of temporal con-
Germs; these are punctuality, accuracy.
steadiness and dispatch.

THE MADE BUSINESS AND THE BUSI-
NESS MAN


The maof business and the business
man both We business to do =; but the bus
iness man the one who does it. The bus
mess manhinks, moves, acts, and makes
himself Fl in the world. If a thought
comes intis head, it is one of breadth and
compass-does not center on self and its
narrow wd. 1t reaches away and em-
braces otis. 1t has a wide range, and
good the terests of all. Nor are the
thoughts such men immobile. They be-
come actil living realities in the wide and

them Rehabilitation and a name," and

comes garous and yoluble, and thought

twinklinge bands and shackles of trade

duced by business man. He awakens
the drowsAnd helpless multitudes, puts
life and Tight, energy and action, into
them, and lakes the world leap rejoicing
along the TIL of ages. Where its step be-
fore was b,a single year, now it strides by
scores and ties.
Men thought, men of action,
Clear the Wav.'
And theyd clear the way-their thoughts

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.

Shortly before his departure for India, the
lamented Heber preached a sermon, which
contained this beautiful sentiment:
Life bears us on like the stream of q
mighty river. Our boat glides down the
narrow chamel-through the playful MUIR
muring of the little brook, and the winding
of its grassy borders. The trees shed their
blossoms over our young heads, the flowers
on the brink seem to offer themselves to
our young hands; we are happy in hope,
and grasp eagerly at the beauties around us
but the stream hurries on, and still our
hands are empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is along a wilder flood, amid OBJ
jects more striking and magnificent. We
are animated at the moving pictures of en-
joyment and industry passing us, we are eX-
cited at home short-lived disappointment.
The stream bears us on, and our joys and
griefs are alike left behind us. We may be
shipwrecked, we cannot be delayed; wheth-
er rough or smooth, the river hastens to its
home, till the roar Of the ocean is in our
ears, and the tossing of the waves is beneath
our feet, and the land lessons from I'LL eyes,
and the floods are lifted around us, and We
take our leave of earth and its inhabitants,
until of our further voyage there is no wit
ness, save the Infinite and Eternal"

ENEMIES.

ANEWIED.
Have you enemies? Go straight on, and
mind them not. If they blocku up your path,
walk around them, and do your duty re-
gardless of their spite. A man who has no
enemies is seldom good for anything ; he is
made Of that kind of material which Is so
easily worked, that every one has a hand in
it. A sterling character-one who thinks
for himself, and speaks what he thinks-is
always sure to have enemies. They are as
necessary to him as fresh air; they keep
him alive and active. A celebrated charac-
ter, who was surrounded with enemies, used
to remark They are sparks which, If you
do not blow, will go out of themselves"
Let this be your feeling while endeav-
oring to live down the scandal of those who
are bitter against you. If you stop to dis
pute. you do but as they desire, and open
the way for more abuse. Let the poor fel-
lows talk there will be a reaction if you
perform but your duty, and hundreds who
were once alienated from you will flock to
you and acknowledge their crror.-Aleran-
der's Messenger.
NEVER accuse q child of a fault unless
you are certain IL cOIhulltleu IL. CAlIuItn
should not be treated with suspicion. Act
toward them in this matter as toward others.
only with greater tenderness-not less, as is
8 usually done. Always put the best construc-
ton possible upon their conduct that is
unless you are sure a child is telling n lie.
!, and can prove it, DO not show the least hes
itation in believing what it says. Far better
that you should be deceived than to run the
w risk of showing a truthful child that you do
not trust it. Simple trust makes a lying
# child truthful; doubt of its truthfulness
"a may make a truthful child a liar.

rat Tomorrow take care OF tomorrow,
Leave things of the future to Fate,
WHAT'S the use to anticipate sorrow
Iife's troubles come never too late.
1fto hope overmuch be an error.
,Tis one that the wise have preterred;
And how often have hearts been in terror
OF evils that-never occurred.
Tot tomorrow take care Of tomorrow,
Permit not suspicion and care,
With invisible bonds to enchain thee,
But bear what God gives thee to bear.
nv His spirit supported and g%laddened,
But meier by forebodings deferred;
Dut think how oft hearts have been saddened
nv fears of w~hat-neyer occurred,
let Tomorrow take care of Tomorrow;
Short and dark though life may appear,
We may make it still shorter by sorrow,
Still darker by folly and fear.
Half our troubles are all our invention;
And how often, from blessings conferred,
Have we shrunk in the wild apprehension
Of evils that never occurred.

ATTEMPTED Burglary,

On Friday night, June Goth, par
ties attempted to rob the store of j.
H. Wilson G. Bro, but failed to gain
an entrance. Mr.. j. H. Wilson came
to the store about 5 o'clock on Sat-
urday morning, and found a brace
bit sticking in the door. The parties
had been trying to bore out the lock,
and had bored nineteen holes around
it.. He also discovered that they
had been trying to bore up through
the floor, and on looking under the
floor, Mr.. w. found a hand-saw and
Ratchet. 1t is supposed the burglars
became alarmed at Mr.. F. McRobie's
dog, and left their tools behind. Mr..
j. c. Wheeler, merchant at Alta
mont, says the Ratchet found belongs
to him, and that it was taken from
his store on the 2Sth. 1t is thought
that the tools will lead to the detec-
ton Of the parties.

Old Coins.

Commissioner Gnagney recently
showed us four old silver coins found
by Mr.. Jas. Fresh on the Hotel Farm
on the old Braddock road, between
Keyser's and Winding Ridge, this
county. These coins weigh one
ounce each, and are of pure silver.
They are evidently very old, but no
date appears on any of them, and
are very roughly executed. They
are English pieces, and are supposed
to have been lost by Braddock's sol
diers on their retreat from the scene
of their disastrous engagement with
the Indians, at Braddock's Field,
near Pittsburgh. Several other
pieces have been found near the
same place, some of them being
Spanish.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
A RATTLING PLATFORM.

A Garrett county man enjoying
warm legislative aspirations, was in
town the other day. Standing on
Percy's corner, he unbosomed his ex.
pectations to small audience of the
bone and sinew Of his proposed con-
stituency. He cared for no party;
politics wasn't his best grip anyhow.
But, as will appear below, he was a
protectionist of the strictest type, on
the representative idea that "when |
am protected, Garrett county is pro-
tected." But the following synopsis
of a lengthy avoWal of his principles
will better illustrate his claims:
He will put bill through secur-
ing a sounder currency and a great
deal more of it.
AS measure of vital interest to
himself, he will prevent, in New
York or elsewhere, the manufacture
of oleOmargarine.
In his own behalf he will abolish
the tax on whisky, and make it
misdemeanor to suggest local option,
punishable by heavy fine. In this
way the revenue will make a profit,
and from a quarter hitherto exempt
from paying extra for a luxury avail
able to all. This object is his only
selfish aim in coveting the promotion
and he is sure he can secure the pro-
posed economy and rotate the source
of revenue better for himself than
anybody else can for him. He is,
however, emphaticly down on all
whisky of the iron-hoop and yellow
heap variety, and will enact a law
on the first day Of the session prohib-
iting the sale of any goods in this
line not homogeneous to the citizens
of Garrett, that is, whisky not made
from our corn and our rye, etc. Our
health must be protected as well as
our manufactures, because long ex-
peflence mas SHOWN tnat, no matter
how industrious, our people do not
thrive on rusted pine-top and painted
tanglefoot Of foreign makes.
AS his only other personal aim, he
futher pledges himself to vote under
no circumstances for a decrease of his
own salary, but will vote for an in
crease whenever an opportunity is
presented, and if an opportunity is
not presented, he guarantees to pre-
sent one.
This is a "No. 1" platform and
broad enough for any one man to
stand on. If Garrett county endorses
it, there is heavy work before the
next MISUNDERSTANDING JoaUn.

The Wheeling Baby Show.

The Wheeling baby-show took
place on the ODD, and was a success
in every way. The number of en-
tries it appears, "was so large that
two halls, on opposite sides of the
street, had to be used to accommo-
date the nearly two hundred babies
on exhibition, their mammas, papas,
and visitors. Every visitor had a
vote and the balloting was very live
ly. The babies were divided into
four classes: A, under / year B,
between l and years C, between
2 and 3 years, and d, twins. Votes
were cast for the prettiest and health
lest. Alice, in class B, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. David McIlwain, took
the prize, gold chain, as the health
lest. Alice's mother was formerly
Miss Belle Kelly, daughter of Gen.
B. F. Kelly, who resides near Oak
land. The gross receipts, of the
show amounted to about 81, 100-net-
ting, for the benefit of the chiIdren's
Home, about 800 above all expenses.

that he is anxious for the new bridge

CATO's FALLS, July I'd, 1877.


ED. REPUBLICAN The pleasant
month of July was ushered in with
a very nice shower of rain, which we
imagine was very satisfactory to the
farmers of this section of country, it
being benefit to the buckwheat crop
in making for it speedy start.

where they were addressed by Thos.
j. Peddicord, Esq, and Rev. DIR. J.
A. Fullerton after which they pro-
ceeded to the Washington Spring
Grove, and partook of refreshments,
and engaged in social conversation,
and amusements during most of the
afternoon.
Judge Pearre was expected to be
present and address the meeting, but
was prevented by sickness. A letter
from him was read expressing his
regrets at being unable to be present.
The members of the Lutheran
Sunday School held a social picnic
in a grove north east of town, and
had very pleasant time.
Members of the Catholic congrega-
ton held a festival and dance in the
grove opposite the Pennington Cot
tages at the head of Main Street,
which was carried on during the en-
tire day, and at night was adjourned
to the Browning House and contin-
ued until midnight.
Taken altogether there were very
few occurrences calculated to mar the
general enjoyment. Few drunken
people inflicted their presence on the
different assemblies, and the profane
and vicious wisely saw that nothing
would be tolerated that would mar
the enjoyments.

Some evil disposed or mischievous
person or persons, passing along the
road leoding from Oakland to VIM.
Lowers, via Mrs. Wonderly's, on
the night of the 22d of June, took
the logs that lay on the sides of the
bridge across Little Yough, and
placed them so that the bridge was
impossible for horses or wagons
until they were removed. They had
better not repeat their depredations,
as it is pretty well known who did it.
They might have to suffer the pen
