A DANCE AND A BROKEN LEG
Quite number of colored persons Sc
cured wagons and left this city last
Friday night to attend dance in the
vicinity of Homiller's mill. After a
big jolification, at a late hour the
youngsters started for home. Rose
Pritchard's team got along all right,
but the wagon from which Pent Will
liams manipulated the lines, suddenly
upset, and in the accident Pent had a
leg broken. He was carried back to the
house of the recent feast, which there
upon became house of mourning,
where his injuries were attended to.
The crowd had nice time of it getting
home through the deep, drifting snow
storm, but reached town about nine
O'Clock, looking extremely woe BECOME
and dilapidated.

The Lancaster Examiner truly says,
for it applies to this as we'll as Lancas-
ter ard other towns Every day al.
most reporters are called upon to notice
this and that thing, which is of no In
terest to the public, but which would
be an advertisement for him who asks
the newspaper favor. The columns OF
a newspaper are the publishers stock
in trade, worth so much an inch, and
which he is willing to sell to make a
living. Hence when publisher is ask
ed for so much space to .'puff" some
one free, he who makes the request is
acting precisely as il he should ask q
jeweler for a ring or tailor for coat.
There are many people who think it is a
favor conferred upon "a newspaper to
ask puff. The favor is all the other
way. Every puff is worth ten cents
line, and when newspaper gives this
away it is just so much out of pocket.

A SPLENDID RECORD. The Mar
tinsburg boys always hold their own at
home and abroad The latest honored,
is our young friend Edward Rutledge,
son of Captain William Rutledge, OF
the Continental Hotel. Ed has been
attending school at Trenton, N. J..
During the past few weeks the faculty
made an examination of the books of
their pupils, and found that out of a
body Of over two hundred students, he
had the best kept books and the clean
est of the lot The branches examined
were book keeping and penmanship,
and the prize, a handsome gold medal,
was rightfully conferred upon Ed. This
indicates carefulness and attention on
the part of the winner and also is an
indirect compliment to the proficiency
of the Grammar school of this city, in
which Ed had been pupil for several
years. We congratulate our young
friend and hope be may continue to win
honors for himself and Martinsburg.

HEAVY SNOW. Last Friday night

ward flight. Saturday morning a white
mantle, to the depth of six inches, COW

wind joined hands to bring about a
change in the atmosphere, which be-
came intensely cold. The snow has
drifed very much; in some places on
the Winchester pike the road was en-
tirely bare for over 100 yards, while at
other points the snow drifted even with
the tops of stone fences. Travelling
proved no easy thing, still the snow is
an agreeable visitor.

WORTH MAKES THE MAN.-In the
present age of activity and excitement
it is the man of grit and energy who
goes to the front and stays there. Not
he who is forever lamenting his condi-
tiOn and growing at Fortune for not
making his life "a bed of downy ease,"
but he who rises early and works ardu-
ously, with firm resolve not to be
downed by adverse circumstances. Few
succeed in life through sheer accident !;
will, muscle and application must as
sist. The traveller who sits by the
wayside and longs for the distant city,
will never reach it by sitting still; nor
will he who fondly dreams that fame,
fortune and honor are won by Incidence
ever have his vain dream realized. Ac-
tion is the great avenue to success.
Resolutions generally die with the
thought that inspired them. How per-
nicious is this habit Of forever neglect
ing duty and trying to stifle conscience
with good resolutionsl How disgrace
full Thele is higher plane of action
There is something nobler AMI more
striking in self-made, earnest, reso-
lutte man-something that the world
loves to honor. knowledge gained by
the dim gimmer of the mid night lamp
will recompense the patient toiler, tho
often the throbbing brain and despair
ing heart would conquer the wavering
will. Labor of this nature is never I'M
requited. The history of the world is
replete with examples of self-made men
who have gone on toilng, while the
great bulk of mankind idly filtered away
their lives; toiling in obscurity; toiing
in starvation; toiling through the lone
lynight But the time came when their
genius became recognized, and the
world delights to think of their hum
BILE, obscure lives, as we'll as their grand
achievements.
Trust not to luck, young mantle
best luck you can have, is to be thrown
on your own resources. Work with an
honest end in view. Work at your
studies, at the bench, in the forge
wherever you may be employed-with
a will above the petty vexations of life.
Be ever ready to advance your employ
er's interests even though you incom-
mode yourself. Above all things, try
to be always engaged at something.
To every young man there comes an
opportunity to take an honorable posi-
tion in life it remains with him to
embrace the chance and win name,
or to refuse it and never rise above the
common, every day sphere of existence.
