RIGHT Time to Operate in Stocks.

AsAS"s AA-O ~ Oho.~SO M "sVoA@s
By recent communication with prom
inent stock operators, We learn that
now is favorable time TO take advan-
tage Of the stock market, by the new
combination method of Messrs. Law
renee & Co., the New York bankers,
who have been SO remarkably success
full heretofore. This system is founded
on correct rules of finance, and is uni
versally approved by the shrewdest
operators. The orders of thousands of
customers are massed into one immense
capital, and operated as great whole,
dividing profits pro rata every month.
In this way any customer can invest
from $40 to $40, 900 with equal proper
tionate success, and at the same time
gain all the advantages of largest capi-
tai and best skill in manipulating the
market. This firms new circular has
"two unerring rules for success" and
full explanations. $50 will make $3.50,
or per cent. ; $500 will return $1,000,

President W. II. Purnsll addressed
the graduating class at considerable
length, after which the valedictory was
delivered by Miss M. E. Elliott. The vale
dicterian, Miss Ella Mitchell, was Sc
riously indisposed at her home and the
recitation "The Lightkeeper's Daugh-
ters," which was to be delivered in
connection with the valedictory, had to
be left from the programme. The ad-
dress written by Miss Mitchell was
appropriate and received the apprecia-
ton which it deserved.
The diplomas were presented by the
President of the Board, Mr.. Eckel, in a
few remarks, after which the exercises
closed with a song, entitled "Gently
Signs the Breeze"
The singing throughout the evening,
under the leadership Of G. B. Rhoads,
was very fine. There were great
many presents given, many Of theLl
being books, but floral offerings as usual
forrsed the greater portion.

this influence had some effect upon

Miss. Clara Hyde delivered her essay
upon the "Romance of the Past" The

the general feeling that existed in
cherishing the days Of dead ages as be-

Because of the dimness that envelopes
the deeds of those days and because of
the traditions that are handed to us We
are prone to weave around them an
unnatural glow apparently real. A
contemplation of the advantages Of the
present would dispel the illusion, and
cause us to place a proper estimate
upon the state of society in the centu
ries that are passed. The past is only
sacred, the present lovely and the fu-

The Use ofdn Enemy.


Always keep an enemy in hand
IL brisk, hearty, active enemy.
Remark tho use Of an enemy:
!. The having Of one is proof
that YOU arc somebody. Wishy-
washy, empty people never have
enemies. Men who never move
never run against anything; when
II man is thoroughly dead and Ut
tcrly buried, nothing ever runs
against him. 7" run against
some thing is proof of motion.
,. An enemy is, TO say the least,
not partial TO you. lie will not
ilatter. lilo will cXaggcrate your
faults, and il is not probable that
he will magnify your virtues.
The benefit of that is two fold;
it permits you 10 know that you
have faults and ii makes them Of
such Il sizc as to he visible and
manageable. Of course, if YOU have
q fault you have u desire 10 know
it; when you become aware that
YOU have n fault you have u desire
TO correct it. Your enemy does
YOU this valuable work which your
friend cannot perform.
8. In addition, your enemy
keeps You wide awake. lie does not
let You sleep at Your post. There
are two that Away keep watch
namely the lover and the hatcr.
Your lover watches that you may
sleep. He keeps Off noises, cX-
cludes lights, adjusts surroundings
that nothing may disturb you.
Your hator watches that you may
not sleep. He stirs YOU up when
you are mapping. lie keeps your
faculties on the alert. Even when
he does nothing he will have you
in such . state of mind that you
cannot tell what he will do next,
and the mental qui vivc must
DO worth something.
4. Hc is n detective among your
friends. You need to know who
your friends are, and who are not,
and who are your enemies. The
last Of these three will discrimi-
nate the other two. When your
enemy goes 10 ono who is neither
friend nor enemy, and assails you,
the Indifferent one will have moth
ing to say or chime in, not because
he is your enemy, but because ii is
much easier 10 assent than oppose,

That bolicfin witchcraft not only
continues to exist, but, were it not
for the law, would sometimes lead
to the violent death Of unotiending
old Indies, was illustrated n short
time ago. Several girls were

old lady who resides in the ST.
hurbs Of that city, the girls evil

an was u witch, and regarding it as
their duty to stone her to death.
Mrs. Shloss, the mother Of one Of
the children, Indignantly charged
the woman, Mrs. Wagner, with be-
ing n witch. saying she could prove
il. The Scranton Republican says
she seemed intensely in earnest,
and fairly trcmblcd with excite
mcnt while hurting this accusation
at the head of the plaintiff. The
alderman heard the details patient
ly through, and said he had no
doubt of the sincerity of Mrs.
Shloss. 1t is probably owing to
her distorted belief that the chill
drcn had been led to prosecute Mrs.
Wagner, who, however, was promis-
cd protection.
