Honor to the Brave!

All honor, say we, to the brave
men and women Of Keyser, Milton
and other towns, where they had
the good conscience and courage
to rise above "Party," and meet the
arch enemy Of their homes in
square, honorable battle.
We are glad to note that num-
Der of the brave women Of Keyser
were present at the Temperance
nominating convention, and we are
assured the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union did effective
work in the campaign, and helped
to win the glorious victory an
nounced in another column.
After lying idly in camp like
"hospital cowards," while three
parties put whisky tickets in the
field and out-bid each other for the
saloon vote, we hardly think Park
ersburg temperance people will
feel much like Joining the process

ODD FRAUDS IN DIAMONDS.

Not many weeks ago a man came into
he shop Of a well-known New York
psvnbr0ker and exhibited pair Of
osperb eight carat diamond earrings.
They were large and looked like twelve
carat gems. The man asked q loan of
elM0 upon them. Long and
carefully the pawnbroker examined the
gems. His c0vetOus eyes sparkled. He
concluded that the stones were genuine
blue white diamonds, which are a. rare
= they are beautiful. They bring from
tlb0 70 $500 q carat. Tiffany had one
awhile ago for which he refused $1,000
ecarat. But the brokers' admiration
did mot get the better OF his business in
etincts. He declined to loan more than
ybOO upon the earrings. This the cus-
toner promptly and positively refused.
After long argument the contracting
parties compromised upon $50. As
eoon ~ the customer left the shop the
hsoker ordered his clerk (who was ont

Paralyzed by a Snake Bite.

A man named Joseph G. MARITIME
suffers from a most singular affliction.
MARITIME was bitten by a snake on the
18th of last December. The reptile
was not considered to be of a poison
u species. The wound, which was
on the right wrist, healed in due time,
and nothing further was thought of
the incident until March %, when a
feeling of numbness set in his arm.
Thence the feeling extended until it
affected the entire right side of his
body and the limbs attached thereto.
Since May 10 the application of a red
hot iron to the flesh on that side of his
body causes him no pain whatever,
but if a piece of ice or drop of water
is touched to it he is thrown into vio-
lent commissions. The left side is en-
tirely unaffected. His mental faculties
and digestive organs are also I'M
affected, and he talks as cheerfully and
eats as heartily as any healthy being,
but he is helpless so far as concerns
manual labor or physical exercise. He
can stand only when leaning against
some object on his right.-Gridley
(CaL. Herald.

Headless Insect.

Science does not gain much from ex-
periments in cutting off the heads Of
insects to see how they will act after
decapitation, but a scientific gentle
man named NJ. Pa'estrina, who has
lately diverted himself in that manner,
makes some surprising announcements
as the results of his experiments.
Flies, he finds, experience very little
inconvenience from the operation-in
fact, they scarcely appear to be con-
scious of it. Butterflies use their wings
with perfect ease eighteen days after
their heads have been severed from
their bodies crickets and grasshoppers
Jump about with their accustomed
liveliness until the thirteenth day,
when they seem to grow detected and
aware that there is something amiss
with them ants run hither and
thither briskly in a headless state for
a period of about a week in short,
all the insects NJ. Palestrina has ex-
perimented upon appear to manage
almost as well without as with their
heads.

purposes stand on either side of the
platform. There is no regular preach
or, but any member whom the spirit
moves gets up and exhorts. The

to territorial and city taxes, one. tenth

manufacture of salt, which is obtained
by flooding the meadows with the
waters of the lake. This is so strongly

1t Didn't Hit.

There was a chap on the boat who
lived at Jackson, Miss, and he was
telling us many anecdotes regarding
the negro population. Among others,
he had a friend who one day asked of
an aged darkey:
We'll, colonel, what particular ossi-
fication has predominated over the
qualifications of late?"
The old man gave a pull at his hat
with n hand, and scratched his head
with the other, and answered.:

as we gained the crest of the long and

the smart Aleck had been waiting for,
and he halted her and demanded:

He was bowling and smiling, and
she looked thunderstruck. After a

THE GOOD OLD WAY.

John Man had a wife who was kind and true
A wife who lovedhim well;
She cared for his home and their only child;
But, if l the truth must tell,
She fretted and pinned because John was poor,
And his business was slow to pay;
But he only said, when she talked of change,
We'll stick to the good old way"
She saw her neighbors were growing rich,
And dwelling in houses grand;
That she was living in poverty,
With wealth on every hand;
And she urgedher husband to speculate,
To fisk his earnings at play;
But he only said, My dearest wife,
Wen s ick to the good old way"
For he knew that the money that's quickly
got
Il the money that's quickly lost;
And the money that stays is the money
earned
At onest endeay o-'s cot;
So he plodded along in his honest style,
And he bettered himself each day;
And he only said TO his fretful wife,
"Well stick to the good old way"
And at last there came a terrible crash,
When beggary, want and shame
Came down on the names OF their wealthy
friends,
While Johns remained the same;
For he had no debts and gave no trust,
"My motto Is this" he'd say
elisa charm against panics of every kind
IT'S Stick to the good old way"
And his wife looked round on the little
house
That was every nail their own,
And she asked forgiveness of honest John
For the peevish mistrus. she had shown;
But he only said, as her fearful face
Upon his shoulder lay,
"The good old way is the best way, wife
Wen stick to the good old way"

LIES TRUE SGGN1FICA1cE.
Deeper than all sense of seeing

Deeper than all sense of seeing
Lies the secret source of being,
And the soul with truth agreeing
Learns to live in thoughts and deeds;
For the life is NOR than raiment,
And the earth is pledged for payment
Unto man for all his needs.
Nature is our common mother,
Every living man our brother,
Therefore let us serve each other;
Not to meet the laws behests,
But because through cheerful giving
We shall learn the art of living;
And to live and serve is best.
Life is more than what man fancies;
Not a game of idle chances;
But it steadily advances 8
Up the rugged heights of time,
Till each complex web of trouble,
Every sad hopes broken bubble
Hath a meaning most sublime.
More of religion, less profession;
Mere of firmness, less concession;
More of freedom, less oppression,
In the church and in the state;
More of life and less of fashion;
More of love and less of passion;
That will make us good and great.
When true hearts, divinely gifted.
From the chaff of error sifted,
On their crosses are uplifted,
Shall the world most clearly see
That earth's greatest time of trial
Calls for holy self denial,
Calls on men to do and be.
But forever and forever
Let it be the souls endeavor
Love from hatred to discover.
And in whate'er we do,
Won by loves eternal teauty,
To our highest sense of duty
Evermore be firm and true.
