GUIDED BY A GHOST,
The Professors Courtship.

TT WAS an afternoon in late February,
i and Tom Kingsley was lounging in
the bay-window Of the little sitting
room, his Latin and Greek books all
around him, and, what was worse, a
broad snow covered the hill in front of
him, down which sled after sled was
gliding with the most tantalizing rapid
ity. Tom was twenty, and devoted to
learning, but he was not above a good
coast when the chance presented itself.
occasionally he favored his sister, who
was the only other occupant of the room,
with very audible growlings against the
restrictions of study hours.
The two were students in the academy
whose mathematically square building
rose almost opposite to the Kingsley's
house. They were nearly of an age
but one was preparing to enter college;
athe education of the other was consider
led nearly completed. The two young
&people with their father and mother,
made up the whole family; but Mr..
|Kingsley's, in the simple, unpretending
way of the village, received into his
|house as boarder one of the academic
&professors, and also occasional students
when they happened to be friends of the
@children. 1t was this first named in
1dividual that was exciting Toms atten-
zion, in lack of anything better to look
bat.
q May" he said, jerking his head over
his shoulder with quick, characteristic
2movement, "just come here and see
&Professor Rensel go by.''
His sister dropped her work and came
to the window. On the other side of the
street stood tall ungainly man, with
scholarly stoop in his shoulders, head
of bushy hair much threaded with grey,
b pair of mild, wise spectacles, and
general air of perplexed acquiescence in
@hll mundane affairs, whatever. In his
hands he held a very tiny sled, looking
Rt it at arm 's-length, as If it was some-

Select Poetry.
NlN THE LONG RUM"

The old-fashloned saying
SO lightly expressed
And SO carelessly uttered,
Is one of the best.
Oh, ponder, young trifler,
With young life begun,
The deep, earnest meaning
Of in the long run"
For "in the long rum" boys,
The seed will spring up
That was sown In the garden
Or dropped in the cup.
And, remember not roses
Will spring from the weed,
And no beautiful fruit
From the unworthy seed.
How many a STRIPPING
In trouble to-day,
BY riotous living
With comrades too gay,
With character shipwrecked
And duties undone,
Will be sorrows harvesting
"In the long run"
And ain the long run" will
The toiler fare best
Who performs honest labor
And takes honest rest
Who, contented and happy,
Hastes not, in day,
Or a year, to heap riches,
That will pass away.
The good and the evil
That bide ON the earth,
The Joy and the sorrow,
The pain the mirth,
The battles unheeded,
The victories won,
viii yield what was sown, lad,
"In the long run"

(From the Xenia Torchllght, Dec. 1O)
Mr.. Russell Rice, one of the oldest
and highly esteemed citizens of Xenla,
died last Wednesday night, at the resi-
dence Of his daughter, Mrs. M. J. Shee-
ly, in this city. His death resulted
from paralysis caused by an accidental
fall which occurred Sabbath Nov. 23rd,
inficting spinal and internal injuries.
Mr.. Rice was a native of Connecticut,
and came to Ohio with his parents in
1911.
The finest bunch of steers we think
we have ever seen was driven through
our city yesterday-the property of Mr..
John B. Lucas. They were eight in
number--all Holsteins-six four-year
olds and two three-year olds, the larg-
est weighing 1872 pounds, the smallest
1912, and averaging 2O75 pounds, and
that too after a drive of eleven miles
from Mr.. Joe Brotherton's in Ross
township, to Mr.. Lucas scales near this
city. Mr.. Lucas intends to stall-feed
these animals this winter, turn them
out to grass next summer and then
beat the "blue grass" Kentuckians, the
"suckers" and the world in the New
York Christmas market of 1880.
A Xenia special Of the 18th, to the
Cincinnati Commercial says: "The
$4,000 suit in the Court of Common
Pleas, in the case of the executors Of
the estate Of Daniel Harbine, deceased,
against the First National Bank of this
city, has been decided by verdict for
the defendant. This case was one of
considerable interest, as it was one of
number entered against the bank for
the recovery of money and bonds de-
posted in the bank, which disappeared,
it is said, through the private business
of its late cashier, F. A.
Mcclure, deceased. The evidence pro-
duced in this case showed that this
money had been checked out of the
bank and loaned by F. A. Mcclure as an
executor of the above named estate,
and not as cashier of the bank. The
plaintiff has filed a motion for a new
trial.
