IF an editor omits anything, he is
lazy. If he speaks of things as they
are, people get angry. If he CLOSES
over or smooths down the rough points,
he is bribed. If he calls things by their
proper names, he is unfit for the posi-
ton of an editor. II he does not fur
nish his readers with jokes, he is an
idiot if he does, he is rattlehead, lack
ing stability. If he condemns the
wrong, he is good fellow, but lacks
discretion. II he lets wrongs and in-
juries go unmentiened, he is a coward.
If he exposes public man, he does it
to crafty spite, is the tool ei the clique,
in personalities, he is blackguard; if

NEW HOPE AND BUCKS COUNTY, PA

The M. e. Church of New Hope, is ex-
pectipg to place new pipe organ in the
auditorium, this week.
Gus Genn's new book, Woodland
Heights" has arrived, and she will be
thankful for more purchasers. The price is
only rs cents.
"A carriage load of colored gentlemen
passed through New. Hope on last Sunday
afternoon, singing Every day will be Sun
day, by and by" We wonder if they will
enjoy 1t as they seemed to be doing at that
time?
AN old citizen of New Hope, Mr.. John
Schermerhorn, died az bis residence, ON Tues
day afternoon. Mr.. Schermerhorn for some
time has not been feeling well and thought be
would take trip to Coney Island, inh hopes of
being benefited by it, but was, while there,
attacked with paralysis, which was followed
by inhamnatory rheumatism. Mr.. s. was
unmarried. He was for years the main stay
of an aged grandmother, and of his father and
mother. His kindness to the old childish
grandmother was unwearied, and she died
grandson who had SO tenderly cared for her.
Then after few years the father, too, passed
away, and the old mother chung to the faith
full son, and his loving Kindness soothed her
pathway down to the grave. 1t has only been
short time since she too gave him one last,
long loving look and entered the heavenly
city. Now, his work on earth finished, he
has go ne to join the dear ones he loved
on earth, and left those remaining to deeply
mourn his loss.
Everybody enjoyed the trip to Coney
Island, with the Eagle boys. There was not
as large crowd, however, as was expected,
aud the company lost by the trip.
At the Union Mills, a short time since, the
alarm of fire was heard. Always prompt, the
firemen left their com fortable beds and rushed
to the scene. The main building by the
great efforts of the noble boys, was saved.
Although wearied, tired and wet, after they
left and returned home, second time they
were summoned to The mills The fire had
broken out in new place again. The boys
ran their engine down the Delaware, and il
was after two o'clock in the afternoon when
they left the place, satisfied that all was now
10 perfect safety. But now comes in the bit
ter part of our story. After all the labor oul
Eagle boys and their brother fremen endured
for the sake of the Mills, they refused to lei
their hanus attend theexcufsion' Which was
for the benefit of the Company which had
done so noble work for them. Two Of the
employees went on that trip-a lady and .
geutleman--and on returning to their worl
the next day, were discharged. The gentle
man ON the day after the fire, we are told
worked faithfully for the company, getting
things ready to rebuild, and refused pay TO
it, SO great was his sympathy for their loss
Then when he aids the Eagle by attending
their excursion he is discharged. Such bas
1 iugratitude deserves the scorn of every homes
heart. But for the Eagle boys and thei
brother firemen on the other side of the river
tho Mills might now be only black mass Q
ruins.

schools Of Philosophy aud religious sects Of
humah origin, take names from the founders,
as Platonists, Confucianists, Mahometans.
The writings of their founders are not only
means Of communicating their doctrines, but
also, often, are used as the strongest proofs
of their disciples adherence and faithfulness.
Their religious books are those disciples,
dearest possessions, to which they cling at all
hazards. Their adyersaries, in days of perse-
cution, search for the hated books, condemn
them to the flames, and turn their discovery into
proof positive of the guilt of those who hold
and hide them. 1t was thus the Inquisition
detected heresy. It was thus, in the heather
prosecutions of the early Christians, the de-
livery up Of their Sacred Books was demanded,
as condition of escape from imprisonment
and death while the weak hearted disciples,
who surrendered their books, from fear of
punishment, were branded, ever after, as
7raditors, 'sDeliverers up, "--almost one with
Traitors.
Christians have their precious Book, which
IN word all acknowledge to be above and diff
ferent from all other books, beyond all price.
The Christian, however learned, ought to be
emphatcally a man of one Book" making
all his knowledge, gathered from every other
source, to be only secondary, subsidiary, Illus
trative of that which he gains from the Di-
vine volume.
Next to the Lords Day, His Word is the
badge of His peoples Not, as borne IN street
professions, by secret, self-serving societies.
Not as displayed, in gaudy binding, on the
parlor table. Not as made the safe deposit
for family records and old letters, pressed
flowers aud other keepsakes. But as rever-
emily read, and listened to- and studied, in
church, at family prayers, in the closet.
When David's words are truly kept to go,
how I love Thy law 4all the day long is my
study in 1t. Thy Word is lantern unto my
feet and a light unto my paths.' But when
the newspaper takes the place of the Bible in
the family, and the novel is its substitute in
the private reading of one who yet calls him
self Christian they that love the Lord in
deed, and their Master with them, are forced
to cry, sadly, "Wc see.not our tokens. Who
is he that feareth the Lord9"
What change for the better would soon
appear, in personal character, in the house
hold, in the community, if they who are
named with the name of Christ should habit
ually and diligently obey His own charge to
them Search the Scriptures, for in them
ye have eternal life, and they testify of me-. y

Among the recent Improvements made
! by Mr.. Fl. b Ely to his residence, on Bridge
street, is the introduction Of Fields Flush
Tank, device for getting rid of the slop
water wash water, ETC., Of the kitchen. with
out running it into permanent tank, open to
the air, which will defle the atmosphere and
injnre health by vile smells. THIS tank is Of
iron aud win hola about forty gallons. At
taehed to it is a siphon. AS soon as the tank
is filled to a certain point the siphon begins to
act and empties rapidly the water through a
series of tile pipes which are laid about IA
inches under ground. As tho flushing occurs
at intermission of several hours, the water is
absorbed by the earth and grass ROOTS and
any organic matter emptied out with it is des-
troyed by the action of the air, which oxdizes
it. Py this system there is an entire absence
Of bid oddrs. AS to damage from freezing,
Col. Waring, trustworthy authority on
snuh matters, says that there is no trouble, as
his tank has acted well when the ground was
frozen two and half feet deep. Anything
of this kind which will tend to the preserva-
ton of health. and the purity of the atmos-
phere, should attract the attention of all
sekeepers. @
