How to Make POStmaSterS.

1t is said that the civil service re-
formers at Washinton are racking their
wits as to how to remove the fifty
thousand post Offices of the land from
the debasing influence of party politics.
Why would not the original custom re-
garding these Offices answer the pur-
pose Whenever there was a change
of administration in old times the per-
sons who most used post Office unit
ed. without regard to party distinctions,
in recommending the appointment of
some person-generally the incumbent
for the time being-whom they could
trust to handle their letters. In some
localities this custom has been follow
ed, and has been respected at Wash
ington SO thoroughly that there are
postmasters who have been continuous
ly in service for forty years.
There is no other office under the
power of the national administration
that offers so little excuse for change as
that of postmaster. All that is expect
ed of the incumbent is that be shall re-
ceive, distribute and forward mail mat
ter promptly and honestly. The Office
does not require learned man. 1t
merely needs some one in whom the
people who send or receive letters have
confidence. To-put professional poll
tician in charge of post Office is to
weaken public confidence in the depart
ment, for rightly or wrongly, the peo-
pie believe that any man who makes
business of politics is mean enough to
steal letter or anything else which he
believes will further the purposes of
bis party. There is no possible reason
for making postmaster anything but
what the founders of our government
intended he should be-the servant of
the community in which he lives.
Hence the fewer the changes, except
for cause, in the post Offices the better
the government, no matter which party
it represents, will appear to the eyes of
the public at large.

Mourning Households.

GLADE MILLS, May 3, 1884.
EDS. CITIzEN:-The home of Mr..
Jacob Reiber, Glade Mills, Pa, and
the homes of Michael Knauf and of
Mrs. Mary s. Osborn, of this vicinity
have recently been visited by the mes
senger of death.
Those families are intimately con-
nected through intermarriage.
The first visitation was at the house
of Mr.. Reiber on the l4th day of March,
last, by which Charles w. Reiber, son
of Jacob and Elizabeth Reiber, was
taken to his eternal home. He died at
the age of "a, and leaves q wife, "a
granddaughter of the venerable Ed
ward w. Hays of Penn township and
one child to mourn his loss. Charles
had been living for some time past in
Allegheny City, but being in i'll health,
he came with his wife and child some
time in February last to his old home
hoping his health might be Improved
by short sojourn at his fathers house,
But in this, he and his friends were
disappointed. He had come back to
his former home to die. A short time
after reaching his parental home, he
was prostrated with typhoid fever, un-
der which he gradually declined until his
mortal powers failed, and he peacefully
closed his eyes in death, on the day
above mentioned. Charles was q
young man highly respected by his
neighbors and acquaintances. He
possessed largely those amiable quail
ties that win the esteem and friendship
of others. Nor was this all, though he
died in early manhood, the Master did
not call him from earth until he had
called him to make preparation FOR his
departure. This call he obeyed, and
when sixteen years of age, he publicly
consecrated himself to the Lord, and
united with the Presbyteris church of
Middlesex. During his entire illness.
and in prospect of death he was peace
full and resigned, abiding in blissful
immortality. A large concourse Of
people followed his remains to their
resting place in the grave.
Next, death visited the home of Mr..
Knauf His little grandson, Russell,
and son of Michael Knauf, Jr, grand
son also of Jacob and Elizabeth Reiber,
died, April 9Th, aged 13 months. Then
on the 28th of the same month, the
the house of Mrs Osborn, widow of the
late Harvey Osborn, of Penn township,
was entered by the remorseless messen-
ger, and the cold hand of death was
laid upon her little grandson, the son
of William Osborn, and grandson also.
of Michael Knauf. Little Elgie died
at the age of eight months.

Didn't Want to Live For Her
Alone.

The other night, when one of our
prominent society young men called to
see his girl be found her mother sitting
quietly before the fire. After bidding
him good evening" she looked him
full in the face and said: "Do you
really love my daughter Emma?"
"Well-ah-my dear madam" stam-
mered the youth, turning red in the
face, II have only been coming to see
your daughter two months, and /
really think you are q little premature
In propounding such question"
"That's where we differ, young man.
If the seed of your sowing now will
bring forth matrimonial harvest Pm
willing to put up with you a while
longer, but if you are coming here
three nights out of the week just to
pass away the time you had better
cease coming at once" "Yes. Well,
really, madam" put in the youth. his
voice al in q quiver, "since you press
me so closely for an answer | must
admit that am yerv fond of Emma,
and that / live for her alone"
"Yes," broke in the anxious mamma;
"that's the trouble with you young
men; you waste too much time living
for girl alone, when you ought to be
living with her. Pm plain old-fash-
ioned woman and always say what I
think. Now Pm willing to give you
q month longer as trial, but if at the
end Of that time don't see spankin'

visits to this house will be cut off,"
And 10 the great relief of the young
man she left the room and sent In her
daughter, who, of course, was utterly
unconscious of the good licks" her
mother had been putting in for her.

And in closing this session, return
thanks to the Directors, patrons and

towards me as a teacher during the
past term, and l hope that the patrons
of Portersville school will take a deeper
interest iu the future of their school,

view of education. The success of the

of the pupils, and friends OF education

the services of good teacher, one

not have the help and sympathy of all,

directors get school msster-s person

they will report him to the directors
and cause him trouble if not at present
it may be in the future, for the school
master only intends to teach one term
in the same school, and then move on,
and parents should be the cause of the
removal of the school master out and

A Boys Ideas Of Heads.

Heads are of different shapes and
size. They are full of notions. Large
heads do not always hold the most.
Some persons can tell just what o man
is by the shape of his head. High
heads are the best kind. Very know
ing people are called long-headed. A
fellow that won't stop for anything or
any body is called hotheaded. If he
isn't quite SO bright, they call him soft
headed; if be won't be coaxed nor turn
ed they call him pig-headed. Animals
have very small heads. The heads of
fools slant back. Our heads are all
covered with hair, except bald heads.
There are other kinds of heads tesides
our heads. There are barrel heads,
heads of sermons-and some ministers
used to have fifteen heads to one SER
mon; pin-heads, heads Of cattle, as the
farmer calls his cows and oxen; head
winds, drum-heads, cabbage heads,
logger-heads; come to head, like q
boil; heads of chapters, head him of,
head of the family, and 60 ahead-but
first be sure you are right. Young

Managing q Farm.

Last week in conversation with
legislator who has large experience and
great comprehension of practical life.
in a1eaking of the qualifications of a
certain man for office, he said the can
,didate had demonstrated his qualifica-
tons for any position. He had man
aged successfully thousand acre farm,
which he considered required more
varied and practical qualifications than
it did to discharge the duties of Gov
ernor or any other office in the State.
A man may have thousand acre
farm, and have money enough from
other sources to put the farm in good
order, and stock it with an abundance
of every class of the best stock, and
things may look grand. But does it
pay expenses. the interest on the money
Invested in it, and good profit to the
owner? fnot, it is not successfully man
aged. The farm must not only look
pleasant to the eye, but it must pan out
the profits. To do this man must
have practical knowledge of his business
and great administrative talent. So our
friend was safe in saying that a man
who can successfully manage thou
sand>acre farm is qualified for any of-
