Learn the Value of Money

A silver dollar repre- ents the days
wo1k of the Iaborer. It is given to a
boy; he has no idea of what it has cost
OF of what it is worth. He would be as
likely to give a dollar as dime for a
5Op or any other toy But if the boy
has learned to earn the dimes and dol
lars by the sweat of his face he knows
the difference. Hard work is to him a
measure of values that can never be
rubbed out of his mind. Let him learB
by experience that a hundred dollars
represents a hundred weary days Of
labor, and it seems a great sum Of
money; a thousand dollars is a fortune
and $1,000 is almost incOnceivable, for
it is far more than he ever expects to
possess. When he has earned a dollar
he thinks twice before he spends it.
He wants to invest it so as to get the
full value Of a days work for it. 1t is
a great wrong to society and to 5Oyto
bring him up to mans estate without
this knowledge. A fortune at twenty
one without it is almost inevitably
thrown away. With it and a little cap
ital to start on, he will make his own
fortune better than any one can make
t for him.

Carpsting as A Test Of Civilization

Carpeting as A Test Of Civilization.
There are various theories regarding
the test of a nations relative degree OF
civilization. Some tell US that it is to
be measured by the amount of soap
consumed, others would have US be-
lieve that printers ink is the substance
that keeps even pace with culture. But,
that the surest and faiTest test is fur
nished by the carpet consumption. Car
pets are a luxury, and q fOndness for
them denotes habits of ease and com
fort, and a mind contemplative and
calm. Among European nations, Eng
land is by far the most advanced i'll the

to the establishment of a room. The

worth seven million dollars. The Car

carpet manufacture, produces annually.

In the great valley between the north
and South mountains in Pennsylvania
commonly called the Eastern Ridge. a
well was dug some years since in Frank
lin, and another in Cumberland COun-
ty, thirty or forty miles from the for
mer, which led to a discovery affording
a subject for interesting speculation.
Af,er proceeding in each instance to a
depth of about thirty-six feet, the bot
tom of these wells gave way (but for
tunately when the wOrkmen had retired)
and torrent Of water rushed up. A
lead was sunk with fifty fathOms of line
without finding the least obstruction.
They remain at this time untouched
and of unknown depth. Tie Presump-
ton is, there is a subterranean lake in
that quarter, and how far it extends
under the base of the vast primitive
mountains, situated between the Sus-
quehanna and Pittsburgh, will never
be ascertained, unless by some terrible
convulsion of nature they should be
prccipitated in the tremendous abyss.

they are not allowed to eat. Only in

the FIRST PEMBROKE MURDER.

This horrible Langmaid murder, with
its sickening details, is but the repetl-
ton of one almost as horrible, which
was peUetrated ON almost the same
spot about forty-siX years ago, the
victim then being young married Ia
DIV by the name of Cochrane, and the
perpetrator Of the crime a young man
damed Prescott, who was employed in
Cochrane's family. The affair at the
time created, If anything, more excite
ment than the Langmaid horror. The
parties lived in a farm house some
ways from the little manufacturing vii
lage of SuncoOk. 1t was in the sum-
mer of the year, and the young man
Prescott, was out in the field moving,
came back to the house--the husband
being away in town-and told the wo-
man, a blooming young female OF
about twenty-five, that he had come
across some very fine berries, and if
she would bring out pail they could
"pick a mess" She went out with
him, and while engaged in picking the
berries a fiepdish desire seized him,
and he approached her with improper
proposals. She struck at him with
her pail, and told him she should tell
her husband of his designs on his re-
turn, and he would have him arrested.
The young man, not over bright, sat
down on a stone, and, as he afterward
confessed, cried, saying, "Weil, l sup
pose | will be put in Jail for it, and |
don't know but what I'd as soon be
hung as go to jail" He then got up
and seizing huge club he beat the
woman upon the head until she was
dead, and then, after ravishing her
person, he dragged her lifeless form
into the bushes and fled. The corpse
of the woman was found after n long
search, and in due course of time the
young man was arrested and confessed
the crime.

SABBATH SAP BOILING.

Some one asked us, during the su-
gar season, whether, if we had five hun
bred trees tapped and the buckets
were running over, we would work
all day on the Sabbath
gathering and boiling. On first
thought, not wishing to appear over
sanctimonious, and knowing that it is
much easier to boast of our scrupulous-
ness when not tempted than when act
uaily put to the test, We said that
doubtless we would. We were then
under the impression that great loss
would occur to any one neglecting to
work under those circumstances. We
have made inquiry of various sugar
makers to learn their opinion in regard
to how much a man would lose who
had five hundred trees and should neg
lect to gather and boil on the sabbath.
Their estimates varied from two to
twenty five dollars. We all, who have
ever made sugar, know that there is
only small portion of the trees that
will run more than q bucket full i'm a
day. 1t will be a liberal estimate to
say that one half will run their buck
cts over. In an orchard of 500 this
would be $50. Allow three quarts of
waste to the tree and there would be
an actual loss of about G5 pals of sap,
which would make perhaps so pounds
of sugar, and at seven cents per pound
this would amount to SO. so from which
deduct the cost of making and a very
meagcr sum is left. Now we do not
believe that for so paltry loss, any
one can excuse themselves for viola
ting the Sabbath under the plea OF
avoiding a protiigate waste, and be-
cause the Master said that in certain
cases we were excusable in doing q
good deed. Other papers laugh us out
of the idea OF labored editorial on
sap boiling on the Sabbath, so we cut
this short, believing, however, that
those editors who think it small mat
ter can not be aware of the extent O
the practice in this mountainous coun
try. ....
