ded to recommend favorably without amend

THE LION AND THE LAMB.

If the adage is verified that when February
goes out like a lion, March comes in like a
lamb, we may expect mild and gentle ad-
vent of Spring for already are the last days
of February blustery to a degree seldom
known in this locality. Boreas is evidently
on high horse and is disporting himself to the
annoyance and Inconvenience Of every body.
In this connection we had intended to say
something about Winter lingering on the lap
of Spring but we forego. The idea is too
suggestive of wrinkled old man cOurting a
GOV but winsome maiden.

A SISTERS INTERCESSION.

Mrs. Garfield received a letter from Mrs.
Scoville, sister of Guiteau, last Friday morn
ing, begging her to intercede to save the as
sasSin's life. Mrs. Garfield will not answer
the letter; but she authorizes j. H. Rhodes,
Secretary of the Garfield Monument Commit
tee, and her near friend, to say through the
press that toward the slayer of her husband
she chershes no malice. He must answer
only to his God and the American people.
For the sister and all the members Of his fami-
ly she feels only profound pity. Further than
this she asked to lie left alone with her sorrow
and to be spared being dragged into useless
and torturing publicity.
Interest in the condemned and convicted
Guiteau seems to have waned considerably
in Washington, and no further attention is
paid to his movements, except by his relatives
and counsel. His brother John paid him
farewell visit the other day, preparatory to
leaving for Boston to attend to his business,
and will not return until May. The inter-
view between the brothers is said to have been
very affecting, although the prisoner was ap-
parently the least disturbed. John Guiteau
says that his brother has finally made up his
mind that he will have to die; that he has
given up all hopes of the Pesident committing
his sentence to imprisonment for life. He
says that at their parting interview Guteau
told him that he thought sentiment was so
strong against him that the President could
not interfere even if he wanted to. He says
Guiteau seems willing to meet his death when
the time comes, and that he does not think
Scoville will persist in his effort for a new
trial, for the reason that the people demand
the prisoners death.
Soon after his brother left his cell, Guiteau
sent for tailor to come and measure him for a
new suit of clothes, and also ordered a new
hat, which was furnished him. He paid for
his orders out of money derived from his auto
graphs and, when asked what he wanted with
new clothes, said he did not expect to remain
long after the Court in banc met, and he want
ed to make good appearance when he went
out. This was regarded as al attempt at
Dragging, for the appearance of the prisoner
certainly bellies his assertion. He is inclined
to be troublesome and complains about the
quality of food furnished him. He returned
his breakfast one morning, because, as he said,
the beefsteak was not cooked rare enough.
'"Tell the cook" he said, "that [ want the
blood running out of my meat before eat it"

THE COTTON CROP.

The following circular, just issued by the
Agricultural Department at Washington,
would indicate that a small cotton crop is
inevitable
Supplementary cotton returns made after
the close of harvest, with an effort for unusual
completeness, has resulted in obtaining county
estimates covering seven-tenths of the entire
field of production, or 500 counties. The De-
cember return represented but forty-three per
cent. of the cotton area. An inquiry calling
for comparison with last years product was
divided, first, to show the result on basis of
equal areas second, the modification by in

WORDS OF WISDOM.

I
Want of good sense is the worst OF
poverty.
| 1t costs more to avenge wrongs than
to bear them.
Impatience dries the blood sooner
than age or sorrow.
Ofvain things excuses, are the
vainest.
After the battle Of arms comes the
battle Of history.
Violent excitement exhausts the
mind and leaves it withered and ster-
lie.
Take your stand by the altar Of
truth and be not led or driven thence
by sophistry or ridicnle.
Hope is the sun, which as we jour
ney towards it, casts the shadow Of
our burdens be hind us.
Under all speech that is good for
anything there lies silence that is
better. Silence is as deep as eternity;
speech as shallow as time.
The wedge will rend rocks, but its
edge must be sharp and single; if it
be double, the wedge is bruised in
pieces and will rend nothing.
If you devote your time to study,
you will avoid all the irksomeness of
life; nor will you long for the APP
proach of night, being tired Of the
day; nor will you be q burden to
yourself, nor your society unsupport-
able to others.
Our decision once made, how
naturally we adapt ourselves to the
new regime And whatever of sue
cess is ours we rightly attribute to
the power of adapting ourselves to
our new duties, new interests and
new surroundings.
Do not be too lavish in your praise
of various members of your own
family when speaking to strangers;
the person to whom you ale speaking
may know some faults that you do
not,

Harvard College.

At a recent meeting of the over
seers of Harvard College, a discussion
was held upon resolution which
had been before the board for several
weeks, that in the opinion of this
board, the statutes making attend
ance upon morning prayers and
others religions exercises compulsory
should be repealed. The board, by a
strong vote, refused to adopt the res
o'ution. But Mr.. George Shiffer,
lately from Martinsburgh, Blair Co.,
Pa, who had a cancerous growth on
his nose, and who was advised the
use Of Peraaa before visit to q
Cancer Hospital, was allowed to take
that par excellent remedy, and by its
use for very short time, was cured

Educasion of Girls.

Many a good mother, looking back
over the long road of the past, and
gazing on her horny hands, resolves
that her daughter shall have a better
time. The mother to whom / refer
is no longer strong, and Miss Jennie
is a healthy young woman of 90.
Yet the mother does all the house
work, including the sewing and
mending for her daughter. The lat
ter makes tatting and edging for her
underclothing and plays very fairly
on the piano, which has been squeez-
ed in somewhere, for the family is
anything but rich. The mother goes
without new bonnet and fixes her
dress over and over, in order that
Jenny may appear as well dressed as
the other girls Of her set. When
company comes, Jennie cntcrtains
them and her mother goes OH with
her work in the kitchen. She waits
on the table, and, If anything is
wanted during the meal, Jenny never
rises to get it, but passes the empty
dish to her mother for replenish-
ment, and adjusts her pretty wrist
lets in happy ignorance of the
Thoughts of those looking on. Now
this is all wrong. This girl is not
naturally bad; her mother is solely
to blame. ] for one do not believe in
the plan of wearing ont the oldest
first. Let the younger ones have a
good time don't be.so strict as our
ancestors were with their families
but have some respect for yourselves
and for your own rights, or your
children will doubtless have none for
you.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Excess
Of water in the soil prevents root dc
velopment.
All liquid impurities are liable to
flow downward into wells.
For picking, the white spine is
considered one of the best cucumbers.
Salt mixed with the earth above
the roots of pear trees is good to pre-
vent blight.
Orchard grass is very early in
growth and furnishes good hay. 1t
starts out fresh Immediately after
each moving.
Hoof and horn shavings contain
twenty-five times as much nitrogen
as is contained in average stable ma
nure.
The Canada thistle perpetuates
itself chiefly by means Of root stalks,
which are full of dormant buds, and
hence any piece an inch long will
send up stalk.
The quality Of the milk is consid-
erably influenced by the richness of
the diet A diet Of watery grass
will probably yield moderate sup
ply of poor milk; the addition of oil
cake will increase both the yield and
also its richness. The alteration in
the composition of milk by poor or
liberal feeding is chiefly an alteration

Hon. w. L. Wilson, of Jefferson

very acceptably filled since the resig-
nation of Rev. j. r. Thompson, by

State, and is said to be eminently
qualified to Gil the high position to
which he has been called. He was
one of the electors on tho Hancock

staunchly Democratic in politics.
He is very polished and scholarly
gentleman, and will no doubt, fill the

ability aud intelligence to be a most
efficient and useful executive of our
State College. He holds in a marked
degree the confidence Of the people
who know him, and in his new posi-
ton he will labor with his accustom-
ed fidelity for the best interest of the

with it. Mr.. Wilson is prominent
