The rolling mill at Alliance, Ohio, was
to have been sold yesterday, and we pre-.
'ume was disposed Of at nominal figure
Although its machinery was expensive
and effective yet it was expected to sell
a' low as $4,000. The reason was that
the mill is not properly situated at ALI
ance to make money. 1t is one OF those
unfortunate concerns that nobody wants
these times. No sort OF an iron mill will
sell ior much nova days, and, still les,
anil that has been losing money. There
could not bea worse time to pu them up
for sale.
In connection with the sale of this mill
Temay refer to the fact that there was a
project on foot not long ago to buy itp
machinery and bring tdown to the banks

was that mill thus situated, having such

could use old rails to good advantage and
make pile.ot money. The theory looks
all right and we are curious to know
whether anybody about New Cumberland
had enterprise Ienough to put it into
practice. There has been several fortunes
IN that gas we'll for years past. Had such
smill as is proposed been put there prior

Take Time to be Happy.

A lady writes for the "Home Jour.
al" some pointed truths on the OBJ
servance of which we believe many
may find happiness. She says 1t is
the failing of many of the busy "Mar-
thas" of the day that they do not take
time enough to make themselves hap
py. In the hurry and rush of every
day duties. they are laborious and
pains taking for everybody's benefit
except their own. Now this is a
great error and works q great mis-
chief. They wear out too soon.
They break down physically and
! mentally, and life becomes a bundle
of infrmties when it ought to be
only in its MONDAY prime.
Now happiness can be made to
turn on very little hinges. The
world is full of small pleasures
which skillful cleaners can pick up if
they'll but keep their eyes open to
observe them. Of course our lasts
vary, and what is pleasing to one
might be q matter of utter indiffer-
ence to another. You might care
nothing for this tiny spray of "spring
buties" which lie on the paper as |
write, but to me they are like an open
page in the pleasant book of my
childhood's history. l will take a
moments time to rejoice in them, to
look at the delicate tracing of pink
on their pearl. white petals, and to re-
call the old delight l use to feel in
every vein when the April woods
were all carpeted with their blossoms.
| shall be the happier all day for this
small bouquet my little girl has
brought me. And I believe, too,
that people are better for being hap
pier. 1t is so hard for unhappy peo-
pie to be good or to make others
good with whom they associate. The
worry gets into the voice and the
words, and they sound snappish and
rasping, and we all know how that
affects us. Did you ever pass by a
house and hear mother scolding her
child? Did it make you any happier
or betterr What do you suppose
the effect was upon the child's ma:
ture?
Another mistake, is to keep the
best rooms shut up in gloomy state
for chance guests, while you conclude
that any room is good enough for
your every day use, provided it is
tolerably "handy." Don't do it..
Nobody deserves the large, airy
front chamber as much as you-no-
body needs it so much. Make it as
CHEEKY and inviting as you can.
Make it cool aud shady and with
sweet flowers all the summer time,
and warm with q nice stove in the
winter. We all of us need ssclusion
at times. 1t rpakes us better and
happier to rest alone for a little
space, when one can take up book
or paper maybe, and have no curious
eyes glanoing in upon us. We can
many OF us "plan work" twice as
we'll when sail by ourselves" Have
your one room, the best you can sf-
ford, and as pleasant as you can make
it. Let it be your kingdom where
you rule supreme, and take up your
apples to pare there, if you like it
better than the hot kitchen, and ask
nobody's leave either. Take time to
be happy and to make yourself com.
Portable. ....
