NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING
last Thursday morning as Miss Louisa Pick
EFT and Miss Emma Jahnke, of New Hope,
were crossing the river on the ice, near the
Rubber Mill, they broke through and made a
narrow escape from drowning. 1t appears
that Miss Jahnke was the first to break
through and was rescued by Miss Pickett,
who had the selfpossession to render the
proper aid. No sooner had Miss Jahnke been
assisted from the ''cool bath " than Miss
Pickett broke through the ice, when she in
turn was gotten out by the other lady. The
two girls were much frightened and their
clothing was sopping wet, and they were
nearly frozen before they arrived at a house
near the river bank and were supplied with
warm and comfortable outfits. Miss Jahnke,
as result OF the accident took cold, and has
had spell of severe sickness in consequence.

upon the negative side of the Guenon system
ofselecting dairy COWS, before the Pennsylvania
Board of Agriculture at Harrisburg last week,
which was well received. The Intelligencer
says -" 1t appears that many of the men,
bers have great faith 10 the system, and they
anticipated no difficulty in refuting the argu-
ments offered by the essayist in opposition to
its reliability. We are informed, however,
that after the paper had been read the princi-
pal believers and advocates of the system
frankly admitted that they would be obliged
to ask for time, and it is expected that the
subject will come up at the next regular meet
ing of the board.'

thing before loc1ing my trunk I threw
in handful Of cigars-what were left OF

made Of native tobacco; and were very
peculiar, but large and black and well
made, and they looked like regular stun
ners. When l arrived here, the custom
house man wanted me to take an oath
about my things, but l refused. I had
lots of dutiful things in my trunk, but
told him if he thought / e could compel
me to take an oath, to go ahead. Finally
he opened the trunk, and saw those CT
CARS on top. He said, ''Are these good
cigars2" / said, "Pretty fair" Without
word, he took four and put them in his
pocket. l said, "Why don't you try one?
That's the only nay to tell about them
He put one into his mouth and lighted
it. That was all wanted. said, "You
will have the kindness to shut that trunk,
and mark it o. K" He loo. ed at me,
and looked at him for moment. Then
he SAID, "You're a Yankee2" said, 81

chalked something on the lid, gave me
the key, and walked away. My expen.
diture for duty was four German cigars.

NO TINE LIKE THE OLD TIME.

There is no time like the old time, when you
and l were young,
When the buds of April blossomed and birds
of spring-time sung!
The gardens brigh est glories by summer sun
are nursed;
But, o! the sweet, sweet violets, the flowers
that open first!
There is no place like the old place where you
and l were born,
Where we lifted up our eyelids on the splen-
doris of the mornI
From the milk-white breast that warmed us
from the clinging arms that bore,
Where the dear eyes glistened DER us that will
look on us no more.
There is no friend like the old friend, who has
shared our morning days!
No greeting like his welcome, no homage like
his praise!
Fame is the scentless flower, with gaudy crown
of gold;
But friendless is the breathing rose, with sweets
in every fold.
There is no love like the old, that we courted
in our pride;
Though our leaves are falling, falling, and
we're fading de by side;
There are blossoms all around us with the
cOlors Of the dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine when the
light Of day is gone.
There are no times like the old times-they
shall never be forgot!
There is no place like the old place keep
green the dear old spot!
There are no friends like the old friends-may
Heaven prolong their lives!
There are no loves like the old loYes-Go6
bless Our loving wives!

Be Honest.

tell you, brethren. be honest in your
dealings; take no advantage, even of a
child. Be conscientious in your bargains.
Have single eye and a single heart.
See not to be shrewd. Be not ashamed
to be called simple. And let me tell you
a secret, ~hich ought not to be secret,
seeing it is written in the SCRIPTURES, that
your whole body will then ne tull of
light, and this in every kind; you will
actually see further, and see clearer, than
shrewd and cunning men; and you will
be less liable to be duped than they, pro.
vided you add to this another charac-
ter which is proper to an honest man
namely, resolution to protect honesty
and dlscountenance every kind of fraud
A cunning man is never a firm man but
an honest man is; double-minded man
is always unstable; man Of faith is firm
as rock. I tell you there IS sacred
connection between honesty and fait
honesty is faith applied to worldly things,
and faith is honesty quickened by the

AT THE GATE.

The golden flush of the morning lies
Der smiling river and bending skies;
While over the meadow the sweet winds sigh,
And breaths of fragrance blow far and nigh,
And the tide flows by
A boy stands under the oak-tree tall,
At the old gray gate by the orchard wall;
He looks far away where the blue sea smiles,
Wondering where lie tue Fortunate Isles,
And the tide flows by.
A youth and maiden pause and wait
In the sunset light at the old gray gate;
They silently gaze in each others eyes,
And'dream Of the rapture of Paradise,
And the tide flows by.
Beside the gate stands careworn man,
Meath a wintry moonlight faint and wan;
He looks far away toward the cold, gray sea,
With sigh for the days that were once to he,
And the tide flows by.
An old man stands by the moss-grown gate,
Sorrowing, weary, and desolate;
The starlight CLEANS DER distant grave,
And over it softly the yew trees wave,
And the tide flows by.
Through the old gray gate, tow~rd the shining
west
They have borne the weary one to his rest
The new day breaks and the shadows fee,
The tide of the river flows fast and free
Far ont to sea!

alike, a sufficient contribution to the
days work to complete all which the dal-
ly necessities of the family demanded.
She had tried the plan for several months
and had found it to work admirably.
Her own cares had lessened in proper
ton to the increase of family enjoyment,
and all were well-served, since they Walt
ed on themselves and on one another.
There is, undoubtedly, general tend
dency to curl the evil of incompetent ser
vice, by dispensing as far as possible
with outside help; but such tendency
p esupposes and requires the mutual
helpfulness of all concerned.
The household aid given by men will.
of course, find its complement in that
offered by women in the field, the WORK
shop, or the Office. In families trained to
mutual ahelpfulness, the girls will plant
corn, rake hay, or transact important bust
ness, as faithfully as would their father
or their brothers. During the war. when
harvest work pressed, and men could not
be found to perform it, young lady
friend of mine drove the mower and reap
er for her father until all the crops were
| secured.
In the nursery business I have
known the daughters to be as helpful as
the sons. One girl carried on for her
blind father an important branch of pot
tery-that of making watch and clock
faces, and when he died, she and her sis
tiers assumed the manufacture, and re-
tanned their fathers old customers. Real
estate agents, lawyers, bankers, authors,
| aIIfnrc onI fronnanfIr And in tho
women of their own families such aid as
nothing save affection knows how to give.
In such families the reciprocal ties are apt
to be very strong.
| | do not mention the following as an
example to be initiated, but only to prove
what can be done, under the influence OF
| affection. 1t is one of those cases where
a too-tensely strung bow must some time
break. A lady whose husband Is in i'll
health has four little children. She per-
forms all the household labor for TAM
lily of six persons. In addition, whenever
she fears exposure to the weather for her
husband, she assumes his work in the
field or stable, feeding the stock and
doing with her own hands anything else
needed on the farm. She endures, with
out complaint, t cold and rain from
which size protects the invalid. She IS
not of foreign birth, but has a constitu
ton ripened ON American soil, and is de-
scended from one of the oldest and best
Quaker families of Pennsylvania. One
of her brothers is learned professor, and
she as sufficient ability to do anything
she chooses. She elects to save her hus-
band, aud t. at is the way she does it.
1t is true she is possessed Of remarkable
fine constitution, but it is strength of will,
and conjugal fidelity, which enable her
to overcome what would seem to be III
surmountable difficulties.
The resources of women in unusual a
vacations are almost unknown, as are, no
doubt, those of men in occupations usual
~ considered feminine. Both men and
women might be essentially aided 10y an
interchange whether of work or of amuse-
ment.-The american.
