A LARK'S FLIGHT.
BYE. E. wEATHERLY.

Out in the country the bells were ringing, Out in the fields was child at play, And up to heaven lark vent singing BIithe and free on that morn of May. The child look. d up as she heard the singing, Watching the lark as il scared away; O sweet lark, tell me, heav'nwar winging, Shall go also to heaven one dayl" Deep in the shade of mighty city,
 Toiled a woman for her daily bread, Only the laIk to see her and pity,
 Singing all day in a cage o'erhead. And there they dwel' in the gloom together, Prisoned and pent in the narr' street, But the bird still sang of the gtldeR V eather And the woman dre'mt of her childhood

 Still in her dreams the bells were ringing, Still child in the fields was she; And opening the cage as the lark was singing, She kissed him g. ntly and set him free.

Harrison Ainsworth, the once popular English novelist, when he wrcte . a K Shel herd" relied absolutely on his DO Wer of reading and assimilation, and never had the slightest intercourse with thieves ln his lie. It is said that when he wrote the really admirable ride of Turpin to York he only went at a great pace over the paper, with road-map and descrip ton of the country in front of him. It was only when he heard everybody say how truly the country was described and how faithfully he had observed distances and localities. that he actually drove over the ground for the frst time, and declared that 1t was more like his ac- count than he could have imagined man would do well to carry a peocil m hls pocket and write down the | thoughts of the moment Those tn at l come uusought for are generally the most valuable, and should be secured because they seldom return' This was Ihe advice of Lord. .con, whose exam. pie has been followed by many eminent men.

Mr.. Albert L. Slaugenhaupt, of Littlestown,
Pa. Is a reader of the ADVOCATE. On the
night of January IS, 1882, his merchant tan,
orine establishment was robbed OF about 9oV
worth ofpiece goods and ready-made clothing
On the morning before the robbery, when
Mr.. Slaug enhaupt came to his place OF Das-
mess from breakfast, he found man looking
in at a window He asked the stranger u ne
desired to sec him. The stranger looked
confused at the sudden coming of Mr. Slang,
enhaupt, and answered no. Then he sand
YES. and inquired the cost of cutting and trim
ming a pair of pants The stranger had a
bundle. and Mr. Slaughenhaupt, thinking ne
had the goods with him, invited INN IN. ne
stranger did not say much in the shop, but
neered around the establishment, and then
left. remarking that he hadn' the goods then,
Int would call again. The mysterious actions
of the stranger attracted Mr.. Siaughenhaupt's
particular attention, and his appearance was
we'll remembered. Reading OF the explolts
of Philip Blizzard in the ADVOCATE, together
with the description given of him, ne con
cluded that Blizzard must have been the
stranger in his establishment the morning be-
fore il was robbed. He came to Westminster
on Thursday, and in company with repre-
sentative of the ADVOCATE visited the jail
Although Blizzard looks somewhat Older, MT.
Saugenhaapt readily picked him out, with
out suggestion, among the nine inmates OF the
Jail. as the stranger that was in his shop on the
18th of January, 1892 He felt satisfied as to
tie identity Of the man, and then drove to KEEL
ly's Hotel, at Sandy Mount to look among the
goods there that were in Blizzard s possession
at the time of his arrest, to see if his missing
property was to be found. When arriving
there Constable Nelson Blizzard and others
were overhauling Blizzard selects. Although
Mr. Slaugenhaupt failed to find any OF his
goods, he feels certain that Blizzard is the one
that robbed his shop. The goods were all
valuable, and easily disposed of, and he thinks
that Blizzard sold them.

The skating rink building was comp leted on
Saturday afternoon last, and formally open ed
at night, when about $50 skaters rolled around
the large smooth floor and the Westmins ter
Band discoursed enlivening music from a
gallery in the centre of the rink. The bui Id
ing is AZ feet front by l40 feet deep, and IS
located nearly in the rear of the Union Ma,
tional Bank. 1t has rooms for ladies and
gentlemen, skate room and ticket othce, and
is heated by stoves at either end. A row OF
benches, on raised platform, runs along
three sides. for the accommodation of skaters
and visitors.
On the opening night there were large
number of spectators, in addition to the
skaters. and the place is visited day and night
by hundreds of people. The rink is the resort
now. and the visitors include the middle-aged
as we'll as the young people. The exercise is
healthful to those who skate, and the scene
presented by the merry skaters, as they glide
rapidly around, is beautiful and interesting to
the pectators-especiaily when some awk-
ward beginner gets his head where his heels
ought to be, or some artistic skater comes 10
grief in attempting difficult movement, or
when Mr.. Slime. the proprietor organizes his
patrons for the march.
On Thursday night there was ham-race,
aud large number Of persons were present,
Notwithstanding the disagreeabie weather.
At 8. 30 O clock, the contestants in the race,
eleven in number, had large paper bags put
over their heads, and then Mr.. Slime suspend
ed a large ham with a chain from one Of the
rafters The ham hung low enough for the
contestants to touch it with their hands, and
the one to touch it first was to get the ham.
Away they went, with their hands above their
heads, to find it, and being unable to see, 1t
was not long before they we're tqmbling down
in all directions. Occasionally tive would
meet face to face, when there would be rat
Ting of bags, and others would be falling
among the spectators ranged on the seats
around the rink John Driscoll was the sue
cessful contestant He happened to strike a
Decline for it, touched it, but could not stop,
and in turning around fell down. Getting up
he started back in the direction of the ham,
again touched it and tried to pull it down.
As it was chained tightly he jumped up to
get better hold, and landed fiat on the
floor. He got up and again tried to get 1t,
when be was informed that he had won 1t;
The others did not kRowi it had been won, and
for several minutes they continued the search;
The Westminster Band was present, and
has been engaged to play every night. Mr.;

for his measure, proposing to make him par
of boots for the inauguration. The President
dolIars to pay for the boots. The remittance
was returned but Gov. Cleveland sent It back
again, insisting that the boots should, be
paid for, but stating that he would wear them
on inauguration day. They were accordingly
made, and the President wore them when he
was installed President. They didn't cost
anything like $40; the proper change was duly
given back Mr.. Douthat, of course, took
