An Accident. Monday last Rev. S. w.
Seibert met with mlshap that might
have cost him an eye. He was standing
in his stable door holding his horse,
while his son was attending to some
other matters in the stable, when the
door blew shut, striking the reverend in
the face. A nail sticking in the door
struck him Immediately above the left
eye, penetrating to the bone, and anoth-
| er nail cut the bridge of his nose. A
half inch farther down, the nail would
have penetrated bis eye, and the posi-
utilities are that the sight would have
Ibeen destroyed. -Ledger. Il

On Monday Mr.. Joseph Bowling, of
Tuscarora township, while on his way
to the county capital, via Port Royal,
was thrown from his sulky near the res
idence of Mr.. j. b. Okeson, in Spruce
Hill township, and received a complete
dusting and Q few bruises. The accident
was caused by the breaking of spindle.
A sulky is mean thing to ride in, and
should be abandoned by all who have
any regard for their life.
On Monday morning valuable COW
belonging to Mr.. Peter Diffenderfer had
one of its hind legs broken by the cars.
The limb was set by Messrs. Ross Dona-
hey and G. A. Kepner. The poor brute
had to be killed in order TO relieve it of
its intense suffering

Disguised Ball Players. Last Wednes-
day two Of the directors Of the Harris
burg base ball club, sent up o challenge
to the Duncannon Club to play them
at Duncannon, game on Saturday, for
twenty five dollars side. The chal-
lenge was accepted, and the Duncannon
Club had the money ready. When the
Harrisburg Club came up, on . Saturday,
one Of the directors of Harrisburg took
director of the Duncannon Club aside
and pleaded poverty' saying they
could not raise the money. The Dun
cannon director kept the fact to him
self however, and let the boys play
the game. The result was score of
IA for Duncannon to for Harrisburg.
10 say that the Duncannon boys were
disgusted when they learned how mat
ters stood, would only partly express the
feeling, but to make matters still worse,
the Harrisburg chaps didn't pay for
their supper, and this was done by Dun
cannon. The probabilities are that the
Harrisburg club will not again get a
chance to fool any club in this part of
the State. Judging from the score made,
they must have forgotten to bring play
ers as well as the money.

THE MEASURE OF LIFE.

BY BAYARD.
If lives were measured by the good
In words or deeds that men achieye,
How few of Adams children could
Expect the Psalmist's term TO live.
If lives were measured by the joys
By men conferred on other men,
How few could pass the age OF boys,
How few would care to live again.
Ifhves were measured by the sins
And sorrows we scatter round,
We might outlive the famous Djinns,
And with Methuselah be found.
lives were measured by mistakes,
By brave designs that come to nought,
By all the countless pains and aches
Ourselves upon our hearts have brought.
Then might we scott at darts Of death,
The weight of growing years defy,
Ssrenely draw our useless breath,
And live till Time himself should die.

Prof. PrOctOr's Romance.

The romance Of the coming marriage of
;he English astronomer, Professor r. A.
Proctor, is given by the ST. Joseph (Mo.)
News as follows:
"Some time during the early part of last
year Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Crawley Of St.
Joseph left here, seeking the health of the
former in a trip to Australia. About the
same time the famous astronomer, Profess
or Proctor, set out from Liverpool, accom-
panied by his wife, who had long been in
delicate health. Their objective point was
Australia, the motives prompting the step
doubtless being about the same as in the
case of Mr.. and Mrs. Crawiey. The health
seeking parties arrived on foreign soil
about the same time. and circumstances
conspired to place them in intimate &C.
quaintance. For time the change of eli
mate was beneficial to both invalids; but
it was only temporary in both instances,
and in August they both died, their deaths
occurring within few days of each other.
Both the living were grief stricken at their
loss, and the many peculiar condolences
served to arouse the sympathy of each for
the other. Their mission was fruitless
one, so far as saving the lives of their help
mates was concerned, and shortly after
they took passage in the same steamer, in
tending to return to their respective homes
It is sufficient to know, however, that the
Professor at the same time wooed and won
the St. Joseph lady, and their marriage is
to take place in this city seven weeks
hence"

FIRST TINE AT CHURCH.

A grave, sweet wonder in thy baby face,
And look Of mingled dignity and grace,
Such as painter hand might love to trace.
A pair OF trusting, innocent blue eyes,
That higher than the stained glass window rise,
Into the fair and cloudless summer skies.
The people round her sing, "Above tho sky
There's rest for little children when they de-
To her-tlus gazing up-that rest seems nigh.
The organ peals; she must not look around,
Although with wonderment her pulses bound
The place whereon she stands is holy ground
The sermon over, and the blessing said,
She bows-as stmother" does-her golden head
And thinks Of little sister who is dead.
She knows that now she dwells above the sky,
Where holy children enter when they die,
And prays God take her there too, by and by:
Pet may He keep you in the faith always,
And bring you to that home for which you pray,
Where all shall have their child-hearts back
one day. -Chambers' Journal

The Richest Man in Chicago.

The will of the late Maria Magee, widow
of Haipes Fl. Magee, has been probated,
and Judge Knickerbocker issued letters
testamentary to the executor, Judge Lam
bort Erie, who gave bonds in the sum of
$4,000. Haines Magee owned considera-
BILE real estate on the North Side, and had
large fortune in government bonds and
bank stocks. Mrs. Magee in her will be-
queaths all her property of every descrip-
ton to her daughter, Anna J. Erie. Judge
Erie, in his petition, puts the value of the
real estate bequeathed at about $3.50, 600 and
the personal property at $25o,000. The de-
ceased left no debts whatever. In 1875
Magee decided half of all his real estate to
Judge Erie and the other half to his wife,

been consolidated with that of Judge Erie.

A Tree Protected From Pilferers,

Washington Correspondence Of the Baltimore
Sum-
A handsome sight was Witnessed by the
thousands who passed through Franklin
Square to day, large tree Of the magnolia
species-the magnolia CONSPICUOUS being in
full bloom. Its appearance was similar to
that presented by stack Of hay covered
with snow. The flowers are large and
white, many thousands of them being on
the tree. This species is different from
the magnolia grandiflora in that the flowers
come before the leaves, while in the grand
flora the leaf always remains on the tree.
The flowers Of the tree in Franklin Square
are somewhat smaller than they were last
year, though more numerous. The back
wald spring retarded their bloom several
weeks. They will remain on the tree for
nearlya week, the new ones blooming MAX
ing up for those that fade and fall off, A
Waterman is kept on duty at the tree TO
prevent raids being made on the flowers.

Still In Favor Of Hugging.


The account of the Iowa girl who is said
to have been Rugged to death by her lover
has caused quite sensation among the
young ladies Of Westfeld, New York, who
recently held meeting to devise ways and
means to prevent another case of death
from hugging. They unanimously passed
the following preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, 1t isreported that an Iowa girl
died recently in her levers arms while be-
ing Rugged; and
WHEREAS, Judging from experience, We
believe such an event to be utterly impossi-
BILE; therefore,
Resolyed, That, Notwithstanding said re-
port, we are still in favor of hugging. We
prefer to run all risks Of death rather than
have the beautiful, lovely, delightful, per
fectly elegant custom abolished.
ResoMed, That copy of these resolu-
tons be sent to the newspapers for publica-
ton.

Wit and HumOr.

A New Jersey preacher, who was annoyed
by the ladies Of his congregation turning
about in their seats, paused in his discourse
to say: Ladies, if you will give me your
attention for a few moments will keep a
lookout on the door, and if anything worse
than man enters will warn you in time
for you to make your escape"
There is q beer saloon in New York kept
by one Adam Gander. He's in trouble
about his name and alters his sign frequent
ly. First it read, IA. Gander." This didn't
suit. It was too suggestive. Then he al
tered 1t to 'Adam Camden" Presently
This made him madden yet. Now he's al
tered it to Ad. Gander. Yet he remains A.
Gander still. You may break, you may al
ter that sign as you will, but the scent Of
"A. Gander" will hang round it still. His
wife says he's goose to take on so about
it. He says she's duck.

Doss thou linger, gentle maiden,
At tho minister door?

Does thou linger, gentle maiden,
At tho minister door?
Dost thou tremb]e, gentle maiden,
On the chancel floor?
Dost thou fear, and dost thou falter,
When thou kneelest at the altar?
With the bridegroom by thee now
Wilt thou take the marriage VOW?
II thy heart, o loving maiden!
Thou hast given away,
Without fear, o trustful maiden!
Give thy hand to-day.
Leaving father, leaving mother,
Give thy life unto another,
Taking back q dearer life
From his love as welded wife.
Let him lead thee, welded maiden,
From the altar now.
Thou art his forever, maiden,
By that marriage VOW.
His in joy and sorrow ever,
None these holy bonds may sever.
Loving, trusting, stand beside
Him who loves thee, happy bride!
