New MARTIssvILLE, last week, was
the scene of social event in the shape
of a ball. A Register correspondent
says of the event; "About sixty guests
were present, numbering among them
the social leaders of New Martinsville,
Wheeling, Morgantown, Hannibal and
MatamOras.
1.-THE costumes of the ladies were
exceptionally handsome, and among
the most prominent were Miss Juliet
Mcclure, superb black silk princess
dress, the Misses Murine, handsome
black silks, Miss Lizzie Lazier, of Nor
gantown, wore one of the prettiest
costumes present, Mrs. Nora Jacobs,
wife of the junior editor of the Mes
senger, wore an elegant blue silk bal
bosure suit, and she was beyond
doubt the "belle of the ballroom"

The number of railroad meetings
that are being held in this and adj
joining counties indicates something
more than gas. We cannot think
that our people will let this opportu-
nifty pass without improving it.
There is something that says Monon-
gala shall no longer be stranger to
that prosperity which railroad will
inevitably bring. On the line of our
proposed railroad in Monongalia there
are four veins of coal, portion ident-
ical with the Connellsville coke coal.
Fine building stone abounds. Col.
Merrill, in his report on the improve
ment of the Monongahela river, to the
government, expressed the opinion
that one stratum of sandstone fifteen
feet thick near Morgantown, on ac-
count of its rare beauty, being dove
colored and dressing well, would bear
the cost of transportation to New
York as a superior building material.
Fine clay and Potter's clay and glass
sand also abound. Between Morgan
town and Grafton is one of the oldest
blast furnaces in the country, and
many beds of rich and pure iron ore
are known. These mines of wealth
will repose in the hills of West Vir-
ginia until doomsday unless we have
railroad to get them to market.
The road must be built.

If we We're asked, what is the one thi,,c

work. We do not see how any lido person
could respect himself. Any idle person may

giant but self-respect is the parent Of ali
manly enterprise: 20 is idleuess tho parent
If all vice.
"A idle brain is the devils workshop"
Why? Because self Prospect cannot abide H.

and he is fairly entered on his now career,
whatever that may be. We nave all no

Our work may not be efficient, it may
have to be done over again by other hands,

must ut least believe that our failure will

sHAKEspERE AND THE QUEEN.

There is u story afloat in the newspapers
which is worth repeating. According to
tradition, Shakespeare played the part of a
king with n peculiar grace and majesty.
One day when the queen was in the theatre,
SHAKESPEARE mimicked royalty so well that
Elizabeth, who was always ready to have n
little fun, whispered to her ladies that she
would try if she could not turn this pre-
tended monarch into u IL awkward fellow

Mt n critical point in the scene, the queen
(who was sitting just over the stage, which
was then hold to be the place of honor let
her handkerchief drop at tic feet of Shake

to see tho actor start and rudden and lose
his cue. Instead OF that he finished his
speech with all his usual power, and with
ont seeming to notice the handkerchief.
Then, asooIi ING and picking it up, he gave

standing up at the house, and this time it

yourself, that 1 am still master of my own

leave my house for n prolonged visit to
you; now l demand to know what you
mean by this interference in my family ar

Father, it is by no interference of mine
that mother is at my house. and I'll the
explanation of the affair that | can give is
that my wife and l have enjoyed our
little cottage home without intending to
make it a house of refuge for mother or
the girls"
MY boy, give me your hand, and tell
your mother at dinner to-day to come home,
and 1 will nc longer head the house of
correction for my own child to run the

How strangely our ideas of growing old

and thinks old age n long way in tho future.
Sixty remembers those who have done great
things at threescorc; and one doubts il

within us which makes us feel young so
