men had finished talking, the animal rose
upon his feet, stretched himself and walked
out of the shop. Early the next morning
two OF the boys went out to the corral to
look for the sheep, but were surprised To

DRY Of that 50 cent picnic, when you chatter
ed nonsense with the girl you loved, and
laughed just as the leaves rustled because YOU
couldn't help it. The "good time" that wakes
in the morning and wonders where it was
and who saw it and where all its money is
gone; the good time that tails itself off with
headache, there's precious little fun in that.
And it only takes a very little bitterness of
that kind to poison and cloud the memories
of your past. 1t doesn't take many such

1T NAY BE YOUR TURN NEXT.

Judge not too harshly, oh, my friend.
Of him, your fellow-man
But draw the veil Of charity
About him II you can.
He dice was called an honest man,
Before sore trial vexed-
He stepped from out the narrow way
Ii may be your turn next.
Painting upon the great highway
suffering soul doth lie;
Go staunch his wounds and quench his thirst
Nor pass him idly by.
God will not brook the swift excuse,
The thoughtless vain pretext;
fellow mortal bites the dust
IL may be your turn next.
You heard, one day, a single word
Against a persons name;
Oh, bear IL not from door to door,
To further hurt his fame.
III you're the man you claim to be-
Remember, then, the text,
To Speak no evil, true or false
IL may be your turn next.
The world is bad enough, we own,
And we may need more light;
Yet, with true love to all, may We
Help in the cause Of right.
Lift up the sinful and the weak,
The soul by care perple1ed,
Well knowing that to drink the gall
IL may be our turn next.

BERNNICK,S MYSTERY.

Some time ago, John Seybert, farmer living
near Berwick, was arrested and convicted of
stealing mule and selling the meat as beef
lie was sent TO the Columbia county Jail, from
which he subsequently escaped, and has not
since been heard from. The people of the little
town are now greatly troubled at the mysterious
appearance of strange looking woman, who
came no one knows whence. She perambulates
the streets nt night, and upon meeting man
generally raises his bat, peers inquiringly
into his face, and, with the exclamation,
''you are not the person | want" replaces the
head-covering and tells him to go his way. She
is always thicbly veiled, and all efforts at recog.
niion or capture have thus far proved frutlssa;
and recently, when chased by number Of Ber.
wick's citizens, she ran down the steep hill upon
which the town is built and escaped by swim
ming the canal The ladies of the place are
greatly scared by the appearance of the strang.
er, and it is said that they never appear upon
the street aites nightfall, unattended by mascu-
line escort. 1t is thought by many that this
man is John Seybert, returned in disguise to
prosecute his former prosecutors,-U Union

A gentleman of Cumberland county Gays,
nothing has been seen OF il about his locality
about two miles northwest of Camp Hill He
would try the plan proposed by the Rurd Nor
YORKER and several other agricultural papers,
that of ditching.,
A farmer of York county says at hasn't
reached us yet. Wen try ditching. 1t doesn't
trouble the potatoes; it leaves them to the
bugs. Perhsps they are blessings in disguise,
but we don't see it as yet"
Several other gentlemen were interviewed on
the subject Some said they didn't know any
thing about it. 1t hasn't reached them yet.
O\Eers said they would tiy diiching il ut came,
but they did not think it would come this year.
1t must come within two weeks to do any harm
to the wheat around here, as it will have chang.
ed color within that time.
The grasshoppers and worm that strips the
leaves off the gooseberry and currant bushes
are the pests that are troubling this locality.
The potato bugs can he doctorpd very success
fully by applying Paris Green when the first
young bugs appear, for those are the ones that
do the destroying. The insects generally dis
appear of themselves.
The Waynesboro Gozette says that the "wheat
worm" is ravaging the fields of wheat in that
neghborhool. The worm resembles the black
caterpillar and varies from half inch to an
inch. and half in length. AT the time we visit
ed field, a little iter sunset, countless num-
hers could be seen on the wheat stalks, on the
fences, and on the railrosd siding dozens could
be seen on a square of four or Eve feet. The
worm attacks the head as well as the blade and
the attack must prove very damaging TO the
crop, They are said to be more particularly
confined TO low grounds which are inclined TO
dampness. Some who profess to be posted say
that these are the veritable "army worms"
which are so destructive, but this is n m istake.
The general impression among farmers seems
to be that the destroying insect will not reach
this locality this year. But that it is rapidly
approaching there is little room to doubt When
last heard from the army was at Womelsdorf.
Berks county, where it was reported in strong
force and is striking CONSERVATION into the
farmers hearts. Thirteen farms have already
been attacked, and the farmers are holding
meetings to de wise the best means of defense,

| stroyed in single night, after which the in
sscts attacked corn field. -Hbg Patriot.

THE ARMY WORM AND HOW TO FIGHT IT.


The news that the army worm had reached
Lancaster, Lebanon and York counties has
caused considerable alarm among the farmers
of Dauphin and Cumberland countless The
destroying insect seems TO be marching direct
ly westward, and if it continues its course will
undoubtedly before long strike tins locality.
A Patriot reporter interviewed some of the
wide. awake farmers living in thi and Cum
berland counties and CLEANED from them few
thoughts on the subject Of the army worm. The
first gentleman interviewed was Sheriff Reel,
When asked what he would do in case the ar
my worm visited his property he said: "Let
them come; the only thing that will! stop them
is ditching. would dig deep bitches around
my fields and run water into them and drown
| the worms" Another farmer said: 81 don't
believe there is anything in it. l think it is a
hoax. There is a worm around that attacks
| the gooseberry and currant bushes and eats all
| the leaves Oft. You see the berries hanging
| full on the bare stock" Mr.. John Eby, living
at Locust Grove, says The army worm is
near enough for me. About the only thing to
do is dichng, and that will give employment
to many laborers."
| Mr.. Gabriel Hester says: 81 don't think il
will reach us this year, ard | hope it won't
come. But if it comes will ''doctor'' it to the
best of my ability. 1t is no hoax, for have
talked with men in Lancaster county who have
seen it and are troubled with it. would plow
deep furrow, say about ten inches deep, on
the side that they are coming from, 50 Ihst the
perpendicular side is next to the farm. They
cannot climb II straight wall ten inches high.
Then | would scatter straw in the iuirow, and
when they come burn them up, ! believe that
another good way to destroy them wonld be o
place a row of sawdusl in advance Of them, and
pour coal oil on il and sci it on tire when they
reached it. They do not attack the grain when
it is ripe, as it is too tough. They attack the
green wheat and chew 1t oil near the roots.
Then they can eat the grain"
One gentleman living near Hummelslown
says he doesn't know any thing about the army
worm, but he knows that the asshoppers ar,
near him. They have destroyed large iel,
of wheat and have began on Une of rye. Con,
from one field to another they are SO thick lha
a step cannot be taken without killing a hal
dozen or more.
Mr. Fisher, residirg near Shiremanslown
say; ave are troubled with wheat worm
but do not think it is an army worm"

side of Hummel-town, sayf: II would no
