Of how some boy, who has no one to de-
pend on, have that pluck and courage to
carry it out, win in what he undertakes
to do.
"a striking example of push and pluck
is furnished by lad named John Greena-
walt son of Frederick Greenawault, super
intendent of the Chestnut Hill Iron Ore
Company's ore banks, West Hempfeld
township, Lancaster county, Pa. John
is lad of about eighteen years. Fortwo
winters he attended the Columbia High
School, walking in and out daily. He
did not seem particularly bright in any
study except mathematics. This was his
strong hold. He studied hard and work
ed early and late. On Saturdays, and du-
ring vacation, he broke stones on tn g
pike. He left school before the close of
the last term, to work in the ore mines, to
earn money to take him to Cornell Uni
versity at Ithica, NY. At Cornell, he
entered the contest for free scholarship
in the freshmen class, at the opening of
the fall term, a few weeks ago. There
were 302 freshmen: of these 202 were
afraid ofthe contest aud declined it. The
other 100 went into the contest. John

On Friday evening of last week tenn
perance meeting was held in Caskey
Hall. The stage was very prettily deck
ed with flags and flowers. The Good
Templars of this town had charge of the
affair. VIM. Dean was made chairman,
who said he was placed in a very awk-
ward position, but would do his best, to
introduce the speakers. Eli Menden-
hall was the first speaker President Cald-
well, Henry Conrad, Esq, Horace Greedy
Knowles, and r. NJ. Cooper. There was
about three hundred present, principal
ly composed of boys and ladies.

Stepping Heavenward

stepping Heavenward," By Mrs. T..
Prentiss, New Stereotype Edition, with
sketch of the author. New York, An
son d. f. Randolph & Co. IL mo. Price,
ST.. Cloth.
An impulsive, frank, and truthful
schoolgirl of sixteen, of hasty temper,
fond of admiration, and full of conceit,
takes herself in hand to become Chris
tian, and TO improve her character gem
orally; makes resolutions and breaks
them disobeys her mother and suffers
for her wilfulness; has lover who can
not endure her coughing and so loses
him; learns in time that a mother some
times knows better than her daughter;
afterward marries physician of cold
phlegmatic temperament, absorbed in
his profession, and suffers untold anguish
of spirit because he is so undemOnstra-
tive; admits his father and sister to her
home, instead of her own mother, and
thereby exposes herself to unsympathet-
&c GflIltlslll anu llCtEHilll illil vi
patience and forttude; practices self-de-
nying economy to help her husband pay
his fathers debts; goes through life of
varied experience, some of it bitter, some
sweet, some prayerful, watchful, some
careless and stumbling, some selfish,
some heroic and faithful, but ever advan-
cling in wisdom, in trust, in holiness of
heart, in self-control, in every good word
and work, till the Master calls and she is
ready to depart and be with Christ.
Over seventy thousand copies of this
life-story of Mrs. Prcntiss have been sold
in the United States alone Five differ
ent houses republished it in England. 1t
has been translated into the French, the
German, the Norwegian, and the Swed-
ism languages. The demand is still con-
tinuous especially for a cheaper edition
The present edition is therefore issued
complete in every respect, with only less
gilt on the cover, at price which puts
the book within the reach of every one
who can read. No Christian can read the
book prayerfully without profit. To q
Young Christian setting out to do the viii
of the Master, and cropping in the dark
especially amid unsympathetic surround
ings the book is simply invaluable. Il
meets every phase of Christian expert
ence, and administers help, counsel, ant
encouragement just where it is needed
And the book can never grow old. A
perusal every year or two will find it tC
be fresh and replete with interest ant
adaptation as at the first. The lapse
into carelessness, folly and sin are Sc
lifelike-one sees himself as in a mirror
and feels his repentings kindle anew, ant
a fresh conservation to the Wonderful
Redeemer unto holer living for human
redemption takes possession of his soul.

In small towns local news, generally, is
scarce. There are times, however, when
there is occurrence which gives the news
paper a chance to make an interesting
item. Now, newsgathering is work, real
hard work. Probably after walking sew
eral miles, we will glance over the notes
taken and what have we? Sometimes
we are laden, like the bee, with some
sweet stuff, but only of interest to one or
two. So it goes week after week. Three
years and a few months we have had
charge of TIE LEDGER, and in that time
we have done all our job work, set type
for two papers, corrected proof, gathered
news, do editorial work after 6 o'clock,
try to pay our debts, send out lots of bills
and get few answers, take down the local

never received thanks; write obituary

which make life worth living. The time
has not arrived for us to do nothing. We
began with nothing, knowing at the time
we threw up easy work to run country

ily on our hands. We have endeavored
to make this paper first-class, and how
far we have succeeded only our patrons
know. We are not as high yet as We

PHILADELPHIA, OCT, 3lst, 1886.
The coming Of Blaine to this city gave
the politicians something of the enthusi-
asm which has been lacking in the pres
ent campaign. I among others risked
my life in going in with the masses in
the front entrance Of the Academy.
There were tickets given out to those
who had the inside track, but as was
not favored one only managed to get
a card for the upper tiers, and such a
crush | have never been in. remem-
Der the centennial crowd, on Pennsyl-
vania Day, when the show was over at
night, how the returning flow of people
to the city carried me a square or two
without my feet being on the ground,
but this crowd | was in on Broad street
was the most vicc-lille that could be i'm.
agined. My clothing was torn, my hat
mashed, my watch wrecked, and my
corns crushed into Jelly. 1 believe
cried murder before finally got inside
There were many Democrats in the au-
dience who look at Blaine as one of the
most prominent men Of the day, who
went from curiosity. There is no mis-
taking the sentences he utters, although
he says little that savors of demigogery,
yet his ncisive remarks bring forth
rounds of applause. for one believe
that Mr.. Blaine will be nominated again
not so much because he cares to be at the
head of the ticket in 1885, but because the
friends of the defeated candidate are more
sanguine than ever that he is the only
man who can get the full vote and cap
ture some from his opponent.
The trial of Mayor Smith before the
impeachment court is fizzling out. What
promised to be short, and decisive ar
rangement of the Chief Executive of the
city, is not to be, for the councils have
reconsidered their haste and will let
courts decide on their jurisdiction the
matter, whether they have authority to
convict or remove an officer of the city
government. This delays matters greatly
ana 1t Is now question whether mayor
Smith will be displaced at all on account
OF the near approach OF the end OF his
official life. The scare has done him
