Gems for Thought.

Honesty, like gold, is frequently
used to plate base metals.
You may cheat others now, but
yourself also in the long run.
! Never be over-exacting with chill
dren; they will grow wiser with
years,
Manner is one of the greatest en-
gines of influence ever given to man.
Help others when you can, but do
not exceed your means for doing so
Let amusement fill up the chinks
of your existence, but not the great
spaces thereof.
Nature is frank and will allow no
man to abuse himself without giving
him a. hint of ii.
The selfish may have much wealth;
but like the water on the sea, it
quenches the thirst of none.
Remember this: However small
you consider your possessions there is
some one who enyies you them.
4 can't do it, never did anything !;
Il will try has worked wonders, land
i will do it, has performed miracles.
There is no luck, but there is such
thing as hard work and knowing
how to make it answer for what
others call luck.
The only talent that man under all
circumstances has succeeded in hand
ing down to his son is the ability to
Judge prime whiskey.
Too many young men believe that
the world owes every man a living
and that it requires no effort on the
part of man to make the collection.
Without trial you cannot guess at
your own strength. Men do not
learn to swim on a table. They
must 60 into the deep and buffet the
surges.
The habit of prompt and unques-
tionabIe obedience to whatever ap-
peals to us as duty, puts us in the
very best condition for learning more
and higher truths.
One breach of faith will always be
remembered, no matter how loyal
your subsequent life may be. People
may imagine that they trust you, yet
all the time they have an eye to the
former break.
Forgiveness of wrong is duty In
cumbent upon ali men alike-evil
men and good. If we have sinned
ourselves, common decency requires
of us not to be too swift to condemn
the SHINING of others. If our sins
have been forgiven, then ought we
to be prompt to forgive others also.
Those people who are so afraid that
they may do something wrong that
they don't want to try, until they
know more, are the very people who
Will meyer do anything at all. One
mistake is a warning-it need not be

Friendsville is situated on the
"Yough," twenty-five miles from
Oakland and sixteen miles from Con-
fiuence. Pa, which is the nearest
shipping point.
We have two stores, one Touring
mill, one blacksmith shop, one school
house and one church I'M. E.). So,
you see, though Friendsville has
been in existence for near half CEN
fury, it is still small town. 1t is,
however, in the midst of populous
farming and grazing community.
Lands are productive and underlaid
with an abundance of iron ore, and

it compare with any part of the State.
We have an abundant supply of coal
also.
This place is visited during the
summer. reason by persons from
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Maryland, who come here to fish and
hunt.
We have good, quiet, temperate
class of citizens, generally speaking.
and they are highly pleased over the
result of "Local Option" and we
were all very much pleased with the
letters from"D, of Grantsville, about
the workings OF Local Option in that
town, and all unite with one voice
in requesting him to continue to
write to the REPUBLICAN.

Great disappointment was mani

the Norman School. Since Grants
vile neither applied for the school
nor expected it, their success should
be gratifying. 1t is thought the school
wherever held will be large and sue
cessful. A ten weeks school with the
tuition graded and with two excel
lent teachers. should bring in the
young people whether they expect
to teach or not.

man.
As incidents of the war on both sides
seems to be interesting, judging from the
number Of them that are printed now
adays, thought that your readers might
be interested in reading OF the state of
feeling produced in the North at the time
OF the assassination of Lincoln. The
writer at that time was in Providence, r.
l., and has seen excited masses OF people
before and since. but does not ever res
member to have seen just such a sight as
the news Of Lincoln's murder produced
in Providence. The news reached
the city Immediately after the oc-
currence in Washington at night, and
by daylight In the morning the news
had spread, and Washington Row, where
the principal newspaper Offices were To-
Gated, was densely packed by an infuri-
ated people, who crowded around the
bulletin to read the dispatches as fast as
they came in. All through the morning
the news that Lincoln was gradually
sinking was posted on the boards, and
when the news finally reached them that
the President was dead, the indignation
of the Infatuated people knew no bounds.
There were during the war numbers of
Southern sympathizers called Copper
heads" throughout New England, and
was standing beside one of them, who
had been making jeering remarks about
Lincoln during the time the dispatches
were being posted up, ana as soon as the
news was announced that Lincoln was
dead, he remarked that ''the country was
better on" This so enraged the already
Infatuated crowd that they began to cry,
kin. him, burn him, hang himw AT
which the copperhead thought things
were too warm for him, ana he at once
broke through the crowd. In the eX-
citement ne was enabled to escape into a
store adjoining, and thus evRded the
mob, VINO would have torn him limb
from limb had they have caught him.
They crowded into the store, but as it
afterwards transpired the man had
climbed up through a scuttle hole TO the
roof, and layed down in one of the val
leys Of the building, and thus saved his
life. They may talk OF vigilance commit
tees aud rash mob law IN the South, but
there never was a more infuriated and
olood-thIrsty people anywhere than could
be found IN Providence wnen this event
occurred. No matter what liberty OF
speech had been tolerated before, it
amounted to almost sure death to have
expressed any sympathy for the South
then, as the people believed that the
rebels were the instigators of the assas-
sination, and heaped anathemas upon
the South, swearing vengeance upon their
imaginary perpetrators. Lincoln was al
most an idol with them, and do not sup
pose that any man since the days OF
Washington, had so firm hold on the af-
fections of a people. The funeral obse-
quies observed there were costly, magni-
fieent and impressive. Nothing ever &C.
Cured during the war to engender such
bitter hatred against the South, as did the
killing of Lincoln, and especially at the
time, as the people thought that the South
was responsible for his death.
