THERE'S NO USE IN LOOKING
-a BACK. ritra- rfifastf


There's no use in looking back
O'er the way that VIC have travelled,
There's no use in going over
All onr sorrows, draped in black;
What our yesterdays ve'brought us,
what our yesterdays have taught us, ls
viii be of no advantage :. - r
If we're always looking back.
There's no use in looking back,
Every day and date recalling;
Twas here we made good progress,
Twas there we left the track;
Not by constant retrospection
win we ever reach perfection;
The past is ours no longer,
There's no use in looking back.
THERE'S no use in looking back,
Re the furrOw straight orcrOoked,
lest we should be disheartened
And strength and courage lack;
Through paths not always pleasant
We reach the golden present;
The goal is still before ms, tsi
There's no use in looking back.
There's no use in looking back,
And remembering with horror -
Those weary days and hours
When the soul was on the rack;
For he who wins life's prizes
From grief and gloom arises,
And early learns this lesson:
There's no use in looking back.
Wen never reach the mountain
If we linger in the valley; A
Well never win the battle
If we never make attack;
And the foes we put behind us t.,t
May seek but fail to find us,
II we overcome the habit
OF forever looking back. E.les

As to the Postal Card.

1t is good rule never to use postal
card for any message which could not
with propriety be shouted across the
street. There are many matters to be
communicated from one human being
to another, which are nobody's busi-
ness outside Of those who do the COM
,municating. 1t does not necessarily
follow that these things are always
secrets, or that they are anything to be
ashamed of. But there is sanctity and
degree of decorum in sealed letter
which never can pertain to the open
card The card is easy, hasty and OF
little trouble to write. But for the
message of affection, the neighborly
greeting, the exchange of social fellow
Ship or the conveying of important in
formation, let us enjoy the old-fashioned
sealed letter. Philadelphia Press.

The Democratic State Convention.


The Democratic State Convention
at Baltimore Wednesday of last week
nominated Robert M. McLane for
Governor, J. Frank Turner. of Tall
bot, for Comptroller, and Charles B.
Roberts. of Carroll, for Attorney.
General.
Before the nominations were made
the committee on resolutions report
eda lengthy platform, dealing wholly
in generalities, giving especial prom
lnence to the fraud of 1876" in the
declaration of the election of Hayes
and Wheeler, consummated under
the forms of law;" arraigning "the
National Republican party for yari-
Gus alleged shortcomings; stating
that the democratic Conservative''
party will enter the State and nation
al campaign with the principle of the
tenth amendment adopted 1895, and
going on to demand various national
reforms" carefully avoiding any
alluslon to State politics, except to
blank Governor Hamilton for s'his
efforts in connection with the legisla-
ture in carrying out the declarations
of principles affirmed in the platform
of 1879"
A minority report was offered by
Mr.. Keedy of Washington county,
thanking Gov. Hamilton for his
efforts at reform; demanding the
abolition of the Office of tax commits
sioner, weighers of live stock, and
OF grain and hay and inspectors Of
tobacco demanding the reorganiza-
ton of the oyster service, of the Off
GERS and employees of the Legisla-
ture; a better registration law;
revision of the revenue laws, the
keeping separate of the executive,
legislative and judicial departments,
and that no appointing power shall
be vested in the board of public
works. Mr.. Keedy made a vigorous
speech in support of this report and
declared that his party had carried
the State by stuffing the ballot-boxes
in Baltimore city. This charge was
hissed and the minority report was
overwhelmingly negatived and the
platitudes and nonsense of the ma
jority adopted.

The Lutheran Quatre- Centenary.

The following cablegram from Wer-
tenberg, Germany. dated September
18th, gives some idea of the sup, b
manner in which this Centenna, ;
was celebrated at that famous city:
"Two thousand clergymen are In at
tendance. The quatre-centennary of
Martin Luther's birth was celebrated
here to-day. Splendid weather pre-
vailed. The commemoration was a
great success. The doorway of the
Augustine Monastery was f1anked by
venetian masts. Colossal busts of
Luther and Melanchthon had been
placed on the balcony of the town
hall and on stands throughout the
city. The Emperor's bust in front of
the town hall was decora III
flowers. Portraits of Luther and
notices from his sayings and writ
ings were displayed in many win
dows. The number of visitors is es-
timated at $4,000. They came prin-
cipally from Thuringia, Saxony and
Brandenburg. Delegates from Hun
gary, Austria and France also took
part in the celebration. On arriving
at Wertenburg the Crown Prince
Frederick William, with Prince AL
brecht and Herr Won Gosler, Minis
ter of Ecclesiastical Affairs, drove di-
rect to the Stadt Kirche and attend
ed divinesery Over one the usand
clergymen filled the church. After
the reading of the liturgy Superin-
tendent General Schultz delivered the
festival sermon, taking his text from
st. Matthew, chapter 21, verses AZ
and 43. The royal party then pro-
ceeded to the Schloss Kirche where
the Crown Prince placed a splendid
laurel wreath upon Luther's grave.
The party afterward inspected the
archives in the town hall relating to
the Reformation. Meanwhile long
procession marched to Luther's house
where the Crown Prince subsequently
in large hall, which served formerly
as Luther's lecture room, declared
Luther Hall open. In his address
the Crown Prince said: "May this
festival serve as a holy exhortation
to uphold the great benefits of the
Reformation and to strengthen our
resolution to be ready always to de-
fend the evangelical creed, liberty of
conscience and religious federation.
May Luther's anniversary help to
strengthen the Protestant feeling, pre-
serve the German Evangelical Church
from disunion, and lay the founda-
tion of an everlasting peace"

A Quarter of a Century Ago.

The Whitewater Chronicle, paper
published by an old schoolmate of the
editor of The Sun, starts out an article
scoring the boys as follows:
sat the risk of being thought too
fastidious, and called a grumbler. the
Chronicle wishes for about the four
teenth time, to make few mild re-
marks upon what it considers grow
ing evil. There has for a long time
past seemed to be strong tendency
on the part of quite number of the
rising generation to indulge in good
deal of idiotic enthusiasm and gener-
al devilishness."
Stop right there old pard. When
any man that has been a boy him
self, as we know the editor of the
Chronicle has, attempts to put on
dignity and take the boys of the pres
ent day across his journalistic knee,
because they indulge in "idiotic en-
thusiasm," he starts the Irish in us,
and The red hair snaps like stroking
the far of a cat the wrong way. Let
the editor of the Chronicle look back
twenty-five years, and think of the
deviltry that was going on among
boys at that time and compare it
with the quiet of to-day. He COM
plains because boys who can raise two
shillings TO go to the hall and get in
the gallery and whistle and stamp
and shout at an entertainment. TWen-
ty-fiye years ago, in that same town,
boys never thought of paying to go
in show at that same hall, but crawl
ed up to the window on boards, and
got in, and the audience could con-
slider itself in luck if they didn't raise
the roof. The boys OF a quarter of a
century ago, in that town, were regu-
lar COW boys compared with your
truly good boys of the present day.
Why, man, don't you remember
when a Sunday morning in summer
would have seemed tame indeed il
the people on the way to church did
not find a procession of fifty wagons
on Main street, placed there the night
before by the "boys." Don't you re-
member how every wagon contained
a cookery crate, with a dog inside,
and each cage labeled with the name
of some rare animal, caught in the
jungles of Africa, or lassoed on the
plains of Venzuvela by the Indians
You remember how a man had tc
