Here Is how the Harrisburg Patriot
puts 1t, to which our delinquents will
please take notice: We pres ume that
some people think newspaper men are
persistent duns; let farmer place him
self in q similar position and see if he
would not do the same. Suppose that
he raised one thousand bushels of corn,
and his neighbor should come and buy
bushel, and the price was only thu
small sum of one dollar, or less, and the
neighbor says, 81 will pay you the
amount in few days" As the farmer
does not want to be small about the mat
ter, he says, can right" Another
comes in the same way, until the whole
of one thousand bushels are trusted to G
thousand different persons and not one
of the purchasers concerns himself
about it, for it is small amount they
owe the farmer, and of course that will
not help him any He does not realiz
that the farmer has frittered away his
large crop Of corn, and that its value Is
due In q thousand little driblets,i and
that he is seriously embarrassed in his
business because his debtors treat it as
little matter. But II all would pay
him promptly, which they could do AZ
we'll a. not, 1t would be very large
amount to the farmer, and enable him
to carry On his business without Difficult.

We need to feel that no effort is ever

Of . person who was known for ten
years. in Allegheny. County ~ Hand
some Billy" freeman, a vary strange
story il recsilsi, Notice was fifsi
taken of him IN 1866, when he hired out
to farmer near Angelica. He was
apparently about l3 years OF age. He
Was noted for his modesty, and In 1876
he Joined the Methodist church. in
1876 be leas d q farm and hired an
elderly woman to superintend his
household affairs.
In 1876 q number of burglsries were
committed in the vicinity, and some
goods that had bten stolen from q
IWellsville store were traced to Free
mans barn and found hidden there.
Freeman declared that the finding of
the stolen property In his harm was as
much a surprise TO him ~ 1t was to the
officers, but he was subsequently arrest.
ted, and when the trlHl was called he
pleaded guilty of the charge. Bursting
into tears, b. begged the court to be
lenient with him. He WAS sentenced
to eighteen months in the Erie County
psnitentiary.
In March, 1873, a strong petition was
forwarded to Governor Robinson asking
for the young mau's pardon. The Gov
ernor notified the prison authorities of
the fact, and the ply stefan of the insti-
tuition was directed to make the usual
medical examination OF the prisoner.
To this Freeman made the most stranu.
GUS objections, and, finding that the ex-
animation would bs made, confessed
that he was not man but woman, by
name Mary Ann Schaefer. Miss
SChaSfer WAS at once removed to the wO.
mans quarters, and she begged that
her confess on and her story be not
made public.
Her parents, she said, emigrated
from Germany IN 1855. She was born
on the voyage over. On landing III
America they removed to Allegheny
County. Her father died when she was
Ave years old, and her mother married
again. At the age Of ten her step father
told her she must earn her own living.
She went out rs Q servant. At seeing
the boys of her age could earn
much more money than she could, she
resolved to become boy. Her mother
approved of her plan. and she dressed
up in boys clothes. She worked for
different farm CTS until she was twenty
one, and then leased farm. She said
that sh- was innocent Of the crime for
which she was suffering imprison ment,
and was led to plead guilty through fear
Of her housskeeper's nephew, who was
the real criminal, and who had threat
ened to kill her II she stood trial and
was acquitted.
Miss Schaeicr was pardoned in the
fall Of 1873, and returned at once to her
mothers house. Shortly afterwards
she secured employment In store in an
oil region town. where, in 1879, she was
to prosperous grocer. She
WAS lett widow year afterwards, and
now weds her first husbands brother.

HOPE.

H.I#f HOPE.
Did 1t ever occur to you what q worl,
Of thought fs wrapped up In that littl
word "hope ?" Its very pronunciation
makes every bosom bound and burn. /
is music to the ear of the young, health
to the sick, and life rejuvensted to tn
old. Poetry makes hope formation
grief makes 1t Q so,ace, and desolatior
makes 1t the brightest flower ths,
adorns earthly creation, while ever
disappointment and delusion whisper
darkness and delusi0n out of the
sky of to-day into the sunshine of TO-
morrow. Sobbing sorrow may crush
and cripple the soul, but hope give,
1t new eternity. Nay, IT may be hu.
initiation In the dust, but hope will
raise it up again.
Hope is mans birthright, which, af.
ter all his blandishments,d ellsiOns, Ill
mocksries, maketh him not ashamed to
hope on, hope ever. Airy fancies may
allure him, and smiling faces beSuils
him into treachery but hope fits etSr-
nal around the human head and breast,
and hangs the rainbow on the BLACKLIST
cloud In all chasts sparklings Of an an
gel from immortal life. Thunder. bolts
may leap from the fair bow In the
clouds, and hope may vanish as fair
scorner from that bright spot, but the
fascinating form soon appears else
where in fa:rer robes than ever, and
with a wreath of flowers to crown the
child Of endless Disappointment.
Now, whom you connect the word
"hope" with salvation" then what
q wonderful word 1t becomes At
once 1t becomes to measure mans most
delightful Christian attainment. In
deed, SO intimately In 1t associated with
practical godliness, that religion itself
is called "good hope through grace"
More than this, our God is called the
God of hope, our Savior 10 called Christ,
our hope, and his finished work is known
az the "hope rot before us In the Cos
pol" while those who accept him are
said to "rejoice in the hope Of the glory
of God"
