graph operator. After / came to New

a noisy thoroughfare. Ispent most of my
time when away from the Office in my room.
One evening, while sitting at my window,
l happened to look across to the opposite
house, where l saw a pretty girl at one of
the windows. She was leaning against the
easement tapping on the glass with pencil.
After this saw her at the same place many
times. We had got so far as nodding
acquaintance, but had no opportunity of
speaking to her. One afternoon, having
come home somewhat early, was seated at
my window thinking of my pretty friend
opposite. Ialmost unconsciously tapped q
salute to her on the window-pane with my
pencil, using the telegraphic signs. l was
very much surprised when reply came
from her in the same way. She understood
the signs and could use them. After that
we had long talks across the street and as
our interest in each other deepened into
warmer feeling many tender message was
sent by the air line. You may not believe
Il, but We were engaged to be married before
we had ever exchanged word or before
either had heard the other speak word
Afterwards was introduced properly and

AS 1T STRIKES US.

COPPER HILL, N. J.
He that can please nobody, is not so
much to be pitied, as he that nobody can
please.
England worships rank and wealth;
America intelligence and common sense.
In this country persons are estimated for
their real worth. True Americans do not
ride upon the backs of others and ex-
claim "Bel.old my rank and title but
are esteemed and honored for individual
meritorious action.
Penning the thoughts Of another with
out rendering due credit is one of tho
most contemplate things a man can do.
1t is meaner than robbing neighbours
chicken roost.
Home without love is sham and
a fraud; but where love truly exists home
becomes an earthly refuge from the
downs of life
We ask advice, but we mean approba-
ton
1t is only natural that young men sail
ing down the stream of time should
cherish the friendship of true bosom
companion, and sensible young men will
only choose one who spends portion of
her time in perusing something besides
fashion notes and novels; one who does
not belong to the vapid, "wishy washy"
sort; but on the contrary he will choose
one that is likely to develop into noble
wife, faithful in friendship, and prscti-
cal Christian, capable of exerting both at
home and in society, the best of an in
fluence for right and for virtue.
Ladies of fashion starve their happiness
to feed their vanity, and their love to feed
their pride.
Marriage is a feast where the grace is
sometimes better than the dinner.'
There are some men whose enemies are
to be pitied much, and their friends
more.
II you would be known and not know,

at is more easy to forgive the weak
who have injured us, than the powerful
whom we have injured
at is easier to pretend to be what you
are not, than to hide what you really are;
he who can do both, has little to learn in
hypocrisy"
There are sone young men who expect
to marry unsenual and virtuous maidens,
after pursuing course of sensuality and
devilishness. Yes they have the "cheek"
to do this very thing. "What is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gander !"
"Birds Of feather should ever flock to-
gcther."
He who climbs above the cares of the
world and turns his face to his God, has
in reality found the sunny side cf ::fe.
The envious are always malicious.
In being kind and helpful, VIC kill two
birds with one stone; we make others
happy and ourselves happy.
For one man who sincerely pities our
misfortunes, there are multitudes who
sincerely hate our success. r. S. M.

The Indian Medicine Men.

The Indian Medicine Men.
On Tuesday afternoon company COM
posed of three white men and five or six
Indians, pitched their tents on Church
street, Pennington, and after perform
ing several feats in legeidemain an.
nounced that they were advertising and
had for sale several kinds of Indian med
icines, made from roots, herbs and banks,
and as is generally the case with trave
ling physicians their medicine would cure
every disease to which the human flesh is
heir, with the exception of consumption.
This is the company that for the past
three weeks have been at Lambertville
selling medicine, some of which was Civ
en- child in that place from the effects
of which it came near losing its life. On
the opening night here one of the men
spoke of the article which appeared in
the Record relative to the child's illness
from the effects of the medicine, which
article we published in last weeks issue
of our paper. They said that the child
had taken none Of their medicine but was
sick from eating green currants, aud that
q three-cent paper in that town being
short of news published the article be-
cause they had not asked the aid of the
paper in advertising their medicines.
Whether the Record is three cent paper
or not, its readers fully appreciate it and
can judge better than travelling statesmen
and it is the duty ofevery journal to warn
its readers against every fraud that comes
to light and it certainly must be hum.
bug and fraud when we find eight OF nine
persons making living by selling med.
icine at mere trfle bottle.
1t has always been wonder to us that
people would patronze these travelling
so called doctors aud take their medicines
when in our own town can be found ply.
sicians of standing, who have made medi-
cine study during life, have graduated
from institutions of learning and do not
give the same medicines for all diseases.
The only wonder to us is that more peo-
pie do not die from the effects of quack-
cry. Their medicines we suppose, like
all patent medicines, are warranted to kill
or cure, much more likely to do the for

He also showed us cane made from the

The Memorial Day Bulletin, published
by Messrs. Joiner, Bayard & Todd, is not
only compliment to these gentlemen,
for neatness and brilliancy, but also dis
plays ON the part of our merchants and
business men, disposition to be up to
the times in advertising. These papers
will reach the hands of many who do not,
but ought to, subscribe to our weekly
journals, and thus perform mission
which must amply pay them for the small
amount expended. TMAT.

Mr.. Jacob Helms has now on exhibition

some windows designed for the new Bap-
fist church at Bushington, Pa, which
are we'll worth visit to his store to see.
They are of Limitation stained glass, F."
and the designs have been put on by Mr..
Helms. The windows are beautiful and
can't be told for real stained glass; They
are durable and the cost is much less
than stained glass. Mr. Helms intends to
make the supply of this kind of glass a
feature of his business hereafter. 1t Is
not only applicable for church windows,
but for public halls, schools, offices, hall,
stair and transom windows in houses, &c.
and especially for windows where it is
desired to have light without revealing
unpleasant sights outside. These win
dows are cheaper than plain glass and in
side blinds. Call at Mr.. Helms store and
see specimens.

Decoration Day.

Decoration Day.
Decoration Day was better observed in
Lambertville than for years past. The
number of people on the streets and at
the exercises at Mt. Hope Cemetery, was
also greater than for many years.
The programme published in our last
issue was carried out in detail.

Cornet Band, the line was formed and
marched to the Cemetery, when, after
singing by the Ladies' Auxiliary and pray
er by Rev c. II. Woolston, Rev. J. ii Bos :
well delivered an earnest and patriotic ad-
dress. This was followed by music, the
benediction by Rev. p. A. Studdiford, d.
D., and the decoration of the graves in
Mt. Hope and St. Johns Cemeteries. At
the conclusion of the exercises the process
sion re formed and marched through our
principal streets. Co. G, and the Vcter-
ans attracted attention, but as novelty
the .Try Company''-a company of forty
five boys from 8 to Is years of age, con-
nected with the First Baptist Church
was specially attractive. They were
dressed in Zouave uniforms and marched
well for lads of their age and tho short
time they had been drilled. All the men,
bers OF this "Try Company" are pledged
to total abstinence from liquor. tobacco,
etc. AT the end of the march, the Ladies'
Auxiliary Corps gave the whole party an
excellent collation. at the Grand Army
