1t is customary to keep the remembrance
their " better birth days." as esteemed by
ancient piety. But an exception is made in
the case of the Baptizer, partly, perhaps, be-.
cause his birth was so wonderful but chiefly
because of the Angels prediction, /" Many
shall rejoice at his BIRTH" The church, ac-
st. John occupied an extraordinary position,
as being the immediate forerunncr Of Christ.
His ministry was intermediate between the
old dispensation of the Law, and the new
covenant of the Gospel. He pointed out the
Lamb of God that taketh away the sin
of the world. He preached the bap-
tism of repentance. "0f those born Of
women there hath not arisen greater than
John" said, the Saviour, and yet He added
that the least in the kingdom of heaven was
greater than he. For Johns baptism gave
no grace and be did but announce coming
of the kingdom. But the entrance into that
kingdom was by Christ's baptism, that con-
ferred the Holy Ghost "Grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ"
The Feast of St. John the Baptist is ac-
counted Mid Summer Day in England /; and
in that country, as we'll as throughout Europe,
some of which were doubtless of heather ORR
gin, especially that of lighting bon fires, danc-
ing around them with frantic gestures and
leaping over them. A maiden then sought, as
on Halloween, to see her future husband, by
keeping fast and vigil, and setting out meal
of bread and cheese, leaving the door open /;
when he for whom she waited would enter, as
phantom, bow, and drink her health in silence
Young men endeavored to catch the minute
seed of the fern plant, in a plate, and with
out touching the plant, at midnight the
notion being held that fern seed would be-
stow the power Of invisibility to the posses
sor. Various plants were strangely supposed
to have a supernatural character illusions
to which are frequent in Shakespeare.
To our mind, the pleasantest version of
these old-folk fancies is Mary Howitt's bal
lad entitled, " Mabel on Midsummer Day."
Itcontains enough of the folklore to be a
rescript of the innocent superstitious legends
of the olden time and not too much of
"moral " to spoil its charm even for little
folks Maiden Mabel is sent on an errand Of
kindness, and charged to observe all the rules
that will please the good fairies and keep
away hateful brownies.
She kept good faith with her mother and
her own conscience and evening brought its
reward.

Clothing.

There is in Philadelphia
a clearinghouse that began
a good many years ago to
do a peculiar business. 1t
marked goods in plain fg-
ures, and described them in
plain letters its prices we're
absolute, it's descriptions
were true. People had full
knowledge of what they
were buying there, and yet
if afterward they were sorry
they had bought, they could
60 back the next day and
exchange for something else,
or, if they liked, get their
money back. 1t was a safe
place to get clothes +; it was
a safe place to leave money.
People liked that house.
1t grew, and grew, and
grew, until it became a
great house. To-day it is
the largest clearinghouse
anywhere and it keeps up
the old practices: no secrets
about what its clothes are
made of, one price, and
the money back If the buy
err wants it. Of course, it
Uses all grades of cloths
that are worth using, and
makes all grades of cloth
ing that are worth making;
for it serves all sorts of peo-
pie.
Those at all familiar with
Philadelphia already know
that we are speaking of
OAK HALL, the original of
the WANAMAKER STORES.
There has been great im-
provement in ready-made
clothing in nineteen years 4;
and OAK HALL has taken
the lead equally in econ-
omy, reliability, and rapid
ity of production in the
quality of finished work;
and in the development of
d method of business hav-
ing for its first object the
satisfaction of customers.
1t is worth your while to
know that you, whoever and
wherever you are, can get
your clothing to better adj
vantage there than any
where else. If too far
away to go, write. You
will receive in reply samples
of cloths, and prices of
ready-made suits from them,
with a diagram and instruc-
tons for measuring. The
rest is plain.

REUNION OF SoLEBURy PUBLIC SCHOOLS
On Saturday last, the annual reunion of the
Solebury Public Schools was held in the Deer
Park. Many schools were in attendance, and
the programme of exercises was very interest
ing. In the afternoon addresses were made
by Co. Supt. Woodruff and Francis Murphy,
the great apostle of temperance. Both efforts
we're good, and Mr.. Murphy fully sustained
his reputation as being great orator. The
day was one of the most pleasant of the sea-
son, and the attendance was large.

The potato bugs seemed more numerous
than usual this year. but the drouth has been
decidedly against them. They sat around on
the ground about four weeks waiting for the
potatoes to come up, and finally got discour-
aged and Disguised with our way of farming
and left.
The grass crop in this section Is extremely
short, and the indications are that we will be
obliged to do considerable beefng to avoid
the hay fever next winter.
Things are coming to queer pass. An ex-
Judge of our county attempted to shave him
self, using sand soap for lather. He spoiled
two razors and admitted an non-suit without
motion to carry the case up. Another
Judge on the bench at our last term of Court,
read the law from newspaper. Papers may
be sound enough on law matters, but they
seem dreadfully shaky on politics.
There are no less than eight gentlemen in
our township, who have signifed their will
ingness to sacrifice everything near and dear,
homes, friends and firesides, to serve the
country iu the capacity of law makers How
strange but true. CAPT. JACK.
The I" Local . of the Huaterdon Democrat
doubts our statement that prominent citizen
of the county and Democrat intends to vote
for Garfield. He offers nine cents if we will
furnish the name. We judge from the odd
snm offered that that is tho reDorter's 50 pile
for we are very certain that if he had ten cents
he wouldn't risk wasting it in that way-he
would buy ice cream. In due time he will,
perhaps, learn all about it without expense.
In the meantime let us advise him that the
retailing of second hand sarcastic TERMS Ike

York Sun, is discreditable to his own we'll

sides it should be sufficient to fill the second
page of the Democrat with selections from
