There's fine big church on fine big HILL
With fine big spire ooming-up higher still,
Pointing heayenward to that rest on high,
Where all good people hope to meet when they die
There's fine big bell in that handsome tower,
Which gives due warning Of the approaching hour
To saints and sinners great small and odd,
To approach the throne and hear the word Of God.
There's fine handsome pulpit OF modern design
In that beautiful church on the hill so fine
And stained glass windows. the sun rays TO hide,
And large double doors. which open WIDE
With beautiful aisles, pews and carpet on the oor
And good deacon TO usher poor sinners at the door
Free from circumference and money In her till,
But there's thorn In her side and cranks In he,

And many pews labeled, this property for rent, =

The pulpit is vacant and empty is her throne,
And the lambs and wolves cut In the woods alone.
The Rev. Mr.. B, Mr. A.. and again Mr.. A.,
All have been there and have gone away;
Pastors o. great ability, good and true,
Who did the best mortal man could do.
To build up the church and make II power,
Was the great aim and thought of each hour
Hard labor they spent In vain, day after day,
For the stumbling blocks were always in the way.
As the mighty engine which rwould seem could
not fail,
By an old rusty bolt is thrown from The rail,
And the train with its freight In confusion is cast
And such win be the fate Of this people at last.
There's a rusty old bolt--one OF more-iH the
church,
To be removed from the rail aud left in the lurch,
Or engine after engine will leave the road
And the train to destruction go with Its load
And those anonymous letters Oh what shame
To drag them In the church twas very lame
And cowardly indeed but In truth 1t can be said.
Only q few Of them-perhaps two-were ever read.
They were cast In the fire consumed in the CRATE
And their author perhaps will share the same fate
They feel like snow fakes upon wet day,
Fell were scorned. melted, and passed away.
There are those who think and are honest In
That Without their advice no good can be wrought,
They are always up head. but seldom do any good,
Except whom they remain ct home, as they always
should
And who the cranks are, no one need care,
For sooner or later they must become aware
OF the sin and folly Of such cause,
And no further trouble emanate from that source
Then the tram DER the rail will swiftly glide,
As smoothly as a ship upon the sea at high tide;
Peace and harmony restored, all win help with a
WILL
To advance the good cause of the church on the HILL

KIDNAPPED FROM RAHwAY.-One of
the most outrageous attempts at kidnap-
ping was made ON Tuesday afternoon OF
last week. 1t appears thata little son of
Larry T. Keefe, of the firm of N. j..
Demarest s. Co., of Newark, was playing
in the yard of his fathers house East
Railway Two men came along in a
wagon, stopped aud began to talk to the
boy, who is about nine years old. Sud
denly one of he men grabbed him, held
his hand over the boys mouth so he could
not scream, the other threw blanket or
something of the kind over him and then
put him in the wagon and drove quickly
off. This was about P. NJ. The viii
lains drove 10 the direction of Newark,
but when near Waverly, some part of the
harness broke aud they got out to fix It.
The boy, who seems to have had won
dcrful presence of mind, managed in some
way to quietly work his feet loose, and
then made leap from the wagon. For
tunately it was getting quite dark by
this time, and the boy, running with the
energy born of thorough fright, managed
to get into bushes or woods, and actually
eluded their search. When they at last
felt compelled to drive GU and leave him
he came out and made for the nearest
light he could see. 1t happened to be
the Waverly depot. He told his story.
told where his fathers place of business
was and they took him to Newark.

NEW HOPE AND BUCKS COUNTY, PA.

Who ever heard of a horse with set
of false teeth We never did until we
heard that Mr.. Martin johnson, of New
Hope, had recently gotten a set for a
horse belonging to him. The horse is a
young one, yet for some reason his teeth
came out. An artificial set were procured
for him, and it is expected that he will be
able to dispose of his usual food without
material difficulty.

A Practical Ideal.


We are often apt to say in haste, that
business success is achieved by dumb
luck" by accidents of birth or family
connection, by fortunate gathering OF
other mems labor and toll. With the
careless or unthinking this may pass for
truth, but the small modicum of truth
within it 10 only intensifies the falsehood.
No error equals that which has in it a
misleading element of fact. A half
is generally the greatest lie. Therefore,
thinking men, who have lived long en-
ough to know and judge, are agreed that
there is no royal road to success. 1t
comes only by sacrifice Of brain and
Drawn; flesh and blood are the currency
that pay for the victory. The best bus
mess success is that in which clear and
definite ideal Is enshrined, as the axis
about which the whole enterprise revol-
YES. The moral side of business life
touches the ideal, but 1t is not of the
moral that we are writing now; our
thought simply touches what may be the
real grandeur of q very commonplace
sort of business, and how men may do
prosaic things with broad incentive,
how real scholarship may inspire the
management of common shop, how
the large things of the manufacturing
and commercial world are the outcome
not of spirit Of money. getting alone,
but of combination of ideas of which
money accumulation is only a single one
Those are fragments of thought sug-
gested to the mind of the writer by a
visit to Oak Hall. the metropolitan and
cosmopolitan clothing concern of Wana-
maker & Brown. There is only a frag-
ment of our townspeople-yes even of
frequent visitors there--that have any
notion of what the prosaic, almost stupid,
business of making and selling clothing
for men and boys at retail has in it Of
large management. Is 1t not grand
thing to collect from all the WOODEN manu-
featuring centres of the world, the stuffs
that enter into the clothing of the men
and boys of great city like our own? Is
it not a grander thing to combine all the
talent necessary to turn these things into
practical form and make them into cloth
ing? We laugh at tailors, and yet there
is real art and deft workmanship in
mems clothing mandatory. Is it not
great thing to reach out, as Oak Hall
does, to sixty thousand men throughout
all the land, and bring their clothing
making to our city? And clothing means
not only coats and trousers and vests, but
shirts and neckties and suspenders, that
are all the time taking grace and form
under the cunning fingers of the Oak Hall
people. The grasp and scope Of business
that lays its hand upon the telegraph,
and pays scores of thousands of dollars
yearly to the express, that commands its
artisans by brigades and divisions, and
draws to our city, from the remote cor
ners of the land, sums of money that in
few short years will count many millions,
is not mean nor prosaic, bus great and
broad and grand. A mere money getting
idea would never realize such success as
this, for all these things referred to here
enter into the Oak Hall success. Only
the ideal which tempts the impossible,
only the breadth OF vison which sees all
the world, only the liberal ways which

William II. johnson, ESQ.,, Surrogate

residence at Copper Hill, at three o'clock
on Friday morning.
The cause of his death was apoplexy, be
having had slight attack of the disease
about three weeks ago, but from which
he was apparently recovering. On Thurs
day he was so much better that lie was
out of doors looking after his farm work,
and his family had strong hopes that he
would soon be entirely we'll again. The
fatal attack came on about twelve o'clock
on Thursday night, and though medical
help was Immediately obtained, all efforts
to arouse him to consciousness were futile.
He remained in comstose condition un-
til his death.
The deceased was native of this coun-
ty and was favorably known to all it's
citizens. He was comparatively young
man, being only fifty-three years of age.
