The only way to shine, even In this
false world, is to be modest and unas'
suming. Falsehood may be thick
crust; but in the course Of t me, truth
will find place to break through.
True courage is cool and calm. The
bravest of men have the least OF bru'
tai, bullying insolence; and in the very
time of danger are found the most Be-
rene and free.
There appears to exist greater desire
to live long than to live well. Measure
mans desire, he cannot live long
enough; measure by his good deeds, and
he has not lived long enough; measure
by his evil deeds, and he has lived too
long.
If spring puts forth no blossoms, in
summer there will be no beauty, and
in autumn no fruit. So, If youth be
tritled away without improvem ent,
Years will be contemptible, and old age
miserable.
The darkest day in any man s earthly
career is that wherein he fancies that
there 10 some easier way OF gaining
money than by earning it..
We should manage our fortune as we
do our health-enjoy it when good, be
patient when it is bad, and never ap.
ply violent remedies except in an ex-
| treme necessity.
Stcusion is not conquest, 1t is cruel
tixion. Strong character like strong
muscle. comes from activity, from war
| fare, not from retreat.
Friendship is the medicine for all
| misfortune, but ingraCitude adries up
| The fountain of all suodness.
There is nothing that so retines the
face and mind as the presence OF great
thoughts.
Men often judge the person, but not
the cause, which is not justice, but
malice.
If YOU know how to spend less than
you get, you have the philosophers
stone.
He who waits to do a great deal OF
good at once will never do any.
II is to live twice to be able to enjoy
the retrospect OF your past life.
Have patience with all things, hut
chiefly have patience with yourself.
No man ever looked for the dark side
Of life without finding it,
An ole. man repents OF that OF which
a young man boasts.

Ice Cream and Cak e.

After the adjournment ofCity Coun-
Gil last evening the members, together
with the city officials and representa-
tives of the press, proceeded to the spa
cious ice cream parlors of Charles
KYLE, corner of Sixth and Orange
streets, where they were treated to a
bountiful supply of ice cream, cakes
and cigars, by j. Frank Ball and
Henry Clay Turner, Esqs., who were
recently elected to the offices of City
Auditor and city Solicitor respectively.
While those present were doing justice
to the feast, numerous jokes were
cracked and good social time en-
joyed by all. Speakman and Turner
were accused of repeating and in
order to make the words of their ac-
cusers good, they succeeded in getting
away With four plates Of Kyle's best
cream. Those who were supposed to
be- "terrors" when in the vicinity OF
an ice or am saloon were watched
closely, especially the newspaper men,
while the walters were warned to be on
their guard. At the conclusion OF the
feast box of choice cigars was passed
around and vote of thanks rendered tt
Messrs. Turner and Ball for the treat.

The Crops.

Corn is small, but it is of a good
color, and should the season prove IA
vorable there may be fair yield.
The grass crop is generally light, and
there will not be anything like the
amount of hay that was harvested last
year.
The potato crop is nothing like as
promising as at this date last season,
and potatoes will not be such a drug in
the market. There is sufficient time
Jet, however, to plant late potatoes,
with prospect Of a fair yield If there
should be sufficient quantity of rain.
The oats are very short, and the yield
must fall greatly below that OF last
year. At any rate, there will not be
half the quantity of straw. In some
cases they are beginning to head, al
though the straw is not over foot IN
length.
The wheat crop looks very promising.
The straw is we'll grown and the heads
are large and appear we'll filled. The
straw is already beginning to turn yel-
low, and the machines will be in mo-
tion in some sections of our State in a
very few days. We think the prospect
for good crop has seldom been ex'
celled. -.
The pasture fields have been cropped
loosely, and need rain badly.

Mr.. j. Il. Stewart, of Macon, Ca, q

man, makes the following statement: !:
"My son, who was between three and
four years old, was all drawn up with
rheumatism. His bones were twisted,
and he was all doubled out Of shape.
He suffered intense pain; had lost his
appetite; was cross and fretful. Tie
was reduced to a mere skeleton, and
had to be carried about on a pillow.
As these cases of rheumatism, where
the bones were twisted and the joints
were all crooked, had for years baffied

clans, | determined to use SWlft's

menced improving with the first dose
of the medicine. His sutferiDgs dimin
ished daily and his appetite increased
he became cheerful and in good spirits
Gradually he regained use of hit
limbs, the twisted bones and joints
Strengthened out, and in less than two
weeks he was entirely cured, and coulc

Tho MOu untaln House.

The writer having paid a, visit to the
Mountain House, through the hospi-
tality of the Pennsylvania r. r. Com
pany, thinks word descriptive Of 1t
would be of interest to the thousands Of
readers of the REPUBLICAN. On the
Allegheny Mountains, in Cambria
County, on the route Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, $500 feet above the
sea level, Is the Mountain House at
Cresson. In the beautifully laid out
grounds that surround this, one of the
loveliest of hotels is the famous Cresson
Spring. 1t emerges in q cool, bubbling
stream from group Of crushed strata,
which is formed almost exclusively Of
silicious elements of sand, and retains a
mean temperature of 43o. This spring
is invaluable as an absolute or nearly
perfectly pure water.
THE MOUNTAIN HOUSE,
built two years since, Is capable of &C
commodating one thousand visitors,
beautifully situated, surrounded by
lawns and groves, fulfills all the re-
quirements of cleanliness, quiet, well.
ventilated rooms, luxurious beds, (of
which the writer can fully attest), and
table unsurpassed by any hotel in the
country, under the care and manage
ment of one Of the best of hotel men,
Mr.. w. r. Durham.
The lofty elevation precludes the pos
sibility of malaria. The same attribute,
coupled with an entire absence of under
brush near the Mountain House, secures
immunity from flies, mosquitoes, and

comfture of man--in the softness OF
summer air.
The Mountain House Is structure OF
imposing proportions, striking in ita
architectural beauty, and built with an
especial view to its fitness as a hotel.
Its sanitary arrangements are perfect,
and its complete equipment, with all
the conveniences that skill can cOntrive
or capital secure, enables 1t to meet
eyery demand that the comfort OF
luxury of the guest can make upon it.
1t Is located on the table-land, at the
top of the Allegheny Mountain, and

that IL was true that these ministra.
