There died the other day In this state,
man whose career should be q perpetual
encouragement TO the youth Of our land
for all coming time. Born OF humble par
en,ags on q rocky farm In Maize he ear y
had desire 70 be printer Printers ON
told like poets are born and Dot made and
boy who can't decide whether he will be
blacksmith or printer never will do any
thing at cit .er. This lad kneu he wanted
TO be a printer. 1t goes without the tell
ing that be learned his trade Thoroughly
and well and was a success. After work
ing as journeyman for q while bis ambi
ton prompted him to d. something better.
He looked around for field and behold the
great Aroostook County then an almost
unbroken forest. He saw there was
chance TO do Pioneer work and loa ing Sd
old second hand press on d cumbersome
team it WAS hauled from Bangor 70
Presque Isle, then a small settlement liter
ally In the woods. Here W. S Gilman in
augurated Aroostook Journalism. 1t was
uphill business for a long time for he had
TO contend against many odds among
which were limited means, frail health and
lack OF patronage. He surmouuted all
these maDfully and dying while yet young
man left his family well established busi-
ness and a comfortable competency. The
only sin ! ever heard laid TO Mr.. Gilmsn'7
door was that OF collecting his bills and
paying his debts. II man owed him
bill be could no reason why that bill
should not be paid and If he owed debt
he was prompt in settling it. This hsoit
10 To ~.
OF making this a habit Of his life when he
was burned out he could go TO Boston and
buy new out6. at bottom prices but il he
like too many newspaper men and other
business men had set around and let sharp
ers Jew him out OF honest bills he would
have Deither money nor credit when be
went to market. Mr.. Gilman was not
great man but re certainly was Al Indus
THOU man and his talents and energy sup
plemeDted by capital and good health
would be felt in larger fields than Aroos-
took County or New England even. Now
boys here is an inspiration 70. you. 1t
max no difference how poor you are or
who your parents are and but little what
your advantages are to get an education.
If you have got the Il will" in you you can
outstrip million of lads who are spending
the money their fathers tot ed SO hard to
accumulate. The very clothes and fnerv
they are wearing to-day tends to unit them
for rough and tumble, every day life and
here you have big advantage. You know
what dollar is worth, they don't; you
know how to earn one, they do not; you
know how TO keep one, they do not; you
have got ambition aud courage, they are
listless and lazy. Why l could go on this
way till fairy made youspity he lads
that you have enyied so often and really a
boy brought up and only taught to wear
fns clothes and sp nd money is an object
OF pity rather than you bare footed fellows
who know what hunger is. Money is
nothing after all Anyone can get wealth
if they will only pay tue price, 80 brace up

"Car7iey's -

Every ole at all familiar with the lumber
at the caption of this item, and will locate
it Immediately; but for the benefit of our
readers not 80 well acquainted with North
ern Somerset, we take the precaution to
say, parenthetically, that it is the name of
a hotel not of q town. The town Is Mos
COW, but no one travelling up river, thinks
of saying Mosc0o. He would incur the La
bility Of being called green, were he to
say he dined at Moscow, bot If he were to
say be dined at "Carney's" verdancy would
not be alleged. 1t is an instance Of a man
being more widely and generally known
than the town In which he lives. John
Carney Is veteran hotel keeper, and has
occupied his present stand, miles above
Bingham, and 10 below the Forks, 80
years. He knows how to keep hotel.
His house is not large one, neither Is IL
by any means elegant or elegantly furnish
ed, but 1t is thoroughly comfortable and
homelike. The table and bed linen is
clean aud the cooking excellent, but above
all is the prevalent feeling of cordial well
come that comes, not only from the general
surroundings, but largely from the landlord
himself. Mr.. Carney's presence Is bene-
diction. there is light enough in his
countenance to illuminate many dark spots.
aud his CHEEKY voice and fund of informa-
ton in regard to up-river matters, makes
him very entertaining entertainer
Mr. Carney does not confne himself to
the hotel business. He has a nice farm
and has contracted the habit of numbering
winters, habit that is, contagious in
Northern Maine. He ownes several nice
tracts of timber land and cuts his own lum-
Der, hauling it to the obanks of the kenne-
bee, where it brings good round price He
does not operate largely, but makes more
clean cash out of what he does cut, than
some make out of very much larger opera
lions. Last winter he cut and hauled dear
ly one million feet and landed it very near
his own place, and will realize handsome
sum from his winters worn.
Mr.. Carneys long residence in Somerset
County makes him familiar with the land
and lumber men for 40 years past and he
has fund of incident and adventure that
makes au hour In his company very enjoy
able. He is authority in all the good trout
ing privileges his house is one VI the places
where sportsmen coDgregate during the
trouting season and If it is visited once
there will alwaysbe n strong inclination to
60 again.

The GrOg shop and the Church

the two there is the old "irrepressioe NJ
dict" over again. Ii Is war to the knife,
aud knife to the hit, and only one can win.
Add in this warfare we of Christs army
are out numbered. There ar lively. bar
keepers to every minister. The Church
opens its doors two or three d y. il the
week. The saloon grinds "a and on with
lis mill of destruction all the days OF every
week, all the months OF every year. That
We are ou,numbered is not all. We are
out-generaled rs well. The people of the
rum shop propose in their hearts not only
To mar and ncutralize, but to obliserate and
displace the lessons OF Church and Sunday
School. They have their series of lessons,
with which our International Series can
not at all Compete. They have studied
carefully the tastes, tendencies and prefer
ences of boys and young men, their Natural

amusement, preferences for young compa-
ny, and they pander To all these IN ways
that take hold upon deaf.
