Dying Words.

The last words of the great satirist
Rabelais we're: 81 am going to take a
leap in the dark; let down the curtain
the farce is DONE" Mirabeau's farewell
to life was thus expressed: "Let me die
amid the sound of delicious music and
the fragrance of flowers" Keats last
words were a poem in themselves: II
feel the daisies growing over me-.
Burns dying words were: "Don't let
that awkward squad fire over nay grave.
Chancellor Thurlow's: "I'm shot, if /
don't believe I'm dying" Halter slept
after the words: "The artery ceases to
beat" and amid the growing darkness
of mortality Goethe murmured the
words, "Let the light enter"

THE LOST SMILE.

His face was wrinkled and thin and scared,
And his eyes were bent on the ground.
He went through the corn-felds, and up the long

But he said: ''Do not bother me, please;
"rve made mistake-it's late, and Pm slow
Though I've wrought every day in the seven.
I thought had finished my labor below,
And was fast on my way up to heaven
But the angel that waited to welcome me there
For the smile of my youth made request
Twas here that wore it; tits thing all must wear
Who enter the isles Of the blest.

Why did quit wearing it ever?

But with it think looked clever.
"My heart aches to think how my poor, weary wife
Oft plead with me not to forget it,
But needed her not, and she sickened OF LIE
And left me to doubly regret It,

What balm is there hid for the poor wounded breast?
What gold is there under the dust?
"Love, love is the light of life's desolate path,
And smiles are the blossoms of love;
The unspoken words that turn away wrath,
The language of Heaven above"
Thus wailing around the deserted old place,
That should have been young with delight,
He searched every corner, would trace and retrace,
His footsteps from morning till night;
Till one day they found him crouched down by

OF keepsakes, at rest-he was dead!
"Eureka!" The pictures were casped to his breast

Once light of the household, the pride and the joy,
That had there in his babyhood died
The angel beheld when he smiled on his boy,
Then bore him safe home DER the tide.

The undersigned candidate for Assembly would
humhy and respectfully represent that DC is UppCs
ed TO the nomination OF the present members OF
the Legislature from this county for two years
more. believing es lie does that the precedent is
uncalled for. and wheu once established would
suit dlsaStTioUSy TO the party. in1smuch all fu

same favor. and i'm giving four years 10 each a
whole lifetime would pass away with only eight or
ten changes in our representative n Harrisburg.
/ also believe there 'GS good fish in tlc
ever were caught and as good Democrats in Cam
bria county as either the present members OF my
self. and wo1ll therefore suggest two years the
maximum for each member of the Legislature and
pledge myself if nominated and elected. not 10 So

Clothing.

There is in Philadelphia
a clearinghouse that began
a good many years ago to
do a peculiar business. 1t
marked goods in plain fig
ures, and described them in
plain letters its prices were
absolute, its 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
90 back the next day and
exchangefor something else,
or, if they liked, get their
money back. 1t was a safe
place to get clothes ; 1t 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
er wants it. OF course, it
uses all grades of cloths
that are worth using, and
makes all grades of cloth
inc 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 i'm
provement in ready-made
clothing in nineteen years
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
a method of business hav-
ing for It's 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 ad-
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
tions for measuring. The
rest IS plain.
