Mend Yourself.

Once upon time there was school
master placed over new school. His
pride was aroused, and he wanted to
make that just the very best school
that ever was. He pondered over it
good while, and then he concluded that
the best way to get at his object was to
rouse a spirit of selt-respect and self
improvement in the pupils. So, oHe
clay he talked to theu quite earnestly;
and finally he said, thinking he had
made the subject very plain to them
all: "Now, boys, I believe there's just
one way to do this thing. If each one
of you will make up his mind to mend
one boy of his faults, the whole school
will be improved in very short time. "
Gail right, sir" spoke up little
Jimmy Eaton, who had been very much
interested in the discussion: "Ill mend
Jack Wyeth." The whole school
laughed aloud, for it seemed funny that
the only boy who had not understood
what the teacher meant was the one to
be so eager to answer.
But, boys, I wonder how many of
you, if your name had been Jimmy
Eaton, would have made up your mind
to mend Jimmy Eaton instead of Jack
Wyeth. It is SO easy to try to mend
other folks, and so much pleasanter to
note other peoples faults instead of
your own. If you see faults in your
school-mates, don't talk about it or
them, but say to yourself: "That looks
pretty bad in Jack. J. wonder if do
anything like that?" If, on self-exam-
ination, you find that you do, just
struggle your best to mend it. Or, if
you find you haven't that particular
fault, pick out some other from your
own; and the chances are ten to one
that, by the time you have corrected
yours, he will have corrected his, es-
pecially if he notices you trying to
break yourself of the habit, whatever
it may be.-Golle1a Days.

GREEN .IvD DRY LUMBER,

A discussion is going the rounds Of
the press as to the relative strength Of
wet and dry timber. We do not be-
lieve there is much to be made out OF
the discussion. Some kinds of timber
are stronger when dry, while other kinds
are stronger when wet or green. It's
safe to say that all woods are harder
and less liable to bend when dry than
when wet or green. But most hard
woods when wet will possess more ten
slle strength than when dry.
Timber thoroughly seasoned is more
brittle than when green, and with the
necessary force will break square off,
while the same timber green would
stand about the same pressure by bend
Ing without breaking. Take hickory
sapllng that it is almost impossible to
break, in its green state, although it
may bend double, and thoroughly dry
IT, and you may easily break it almost
square off, j" as the boys say. So with
almost any kind of timber. Drying
makes it sitter, more unyielding, but
IN few instances stronger.-American
Cultivator.

"After Uncle Doctor has paid me,
can I go down town and buy the little
engine, mammal" cried eager little
Kirk Rowe, with both arms about his
mothers neck as he stood behind her
rockingham.
Eyes, dear, if you like; only I'd leave
the bow-gun at home.
mamma, don't make me! It's such
fun to shoot. I won't hit anybody.

"Well, if you'll be very, very careful,
you may take it; but can't settle any
more bills for damages, remember;
said Mrs. Rowe, turning her head to give
her little son goodbye kiss.
In all Gallatin there was not q hap
pier boy that 3lst of July than this same
Kirk Rowe as he frisked up the street
toward DR.. Wyman's. He was going
for his wages-the half-dollar that he
earned every month by running errands
for his uncle, the doctor.

when I bring home my engine!" he
shouted over his shoulder to his little
sister at the gate. II tell you it's q
stunner!"
Before Weezy could ask what a stun
ner was, he was off in pursuit of q tiy-
ing arrow; for the bow-gun CHANGED to
be Kinks newest plaything and he de-
lighted to twangle it. He was drawing
its string for the third time as he passed

Of the neiglborhood read it" Skinhint;"
and some of the boldest even went so
far among themselves, as to call the
wealthy owner of the mansion "Old
Skiniint," by which it will be seen that
he was not prime favorite.
Kirk, indeed, was in awe of this tall.
eagle-eyed-man, with the thin, hooked
nose and quick, sharp voica, that only
last Summer he had left his missent
ball to moulder behind the stone lions
at MIR. Flint's gate, rahter than venture
within the grounds. Fancy, then, the
little fellows dismay at the sad acct
dent that this moment befel him. Like
poor little Cock Robin, che didn't shoot

the arrow straight through Mr.. Flint's
library window
There was a sound of crashing glass
and OF .lurrying feet, kirkes feet, as he
ran away as fast as lie could. Before
he pauseG w breath, he was almost
home; and by this time he wished linn

THE MEXICAN PENITENTs.

THE MEXIC.dN PENITENTS
They passed through the streets of
the town, where the massive adobe
houses, white as marble in the decent
i've light, threw shadows black as ink;
and presently emerged upon q paved
road, which led to garden set thick
with trees. The air was heavy with
Perfume; hundreds of fire flies, where
the thicket was SO dense no ray from
the sky might penetrate, seemed to fill
the place with ghostly fires. 1t was
enchanting, weird, aye, awe-inspiring.
Soon in the near distance they heard
sound as of measured strokes,
and low, continuous moan. The
strokes quickened to the whizz of
heavy fails, the moan to the dirge of
the Miserere. Then they understood,
with shock of horror, that they were
about to witness one of the professions
OF penitents, which, though forbidden
by the civil law, still were secretly
conducted in remote and fanatical dis
tricts. Presently they came from amid
the shelter Of the trees, like mournful
ghosts upon the moonlit road. They
were all men--men to whom the mem
DRY OF their sins was intolerable-and
as they walked they welded the cruel
scourges on their barred shoulders, and
ceaselessly intoned the dirge. It was
past midnight, and for hours they had
continued the dreadful hagellation,
and the unceasing march. Blood
streamed from many gaping wound;
they staggered as they walked; moro
than once a penitent fell, and was
lifted to his feet by the man who
walked beside him. All this dismal
company were masked; each wore a
friar's gown and a rough shirt of hair,
which hung pendant from the girdla AZ
the waist, above which was seen the
cut and bleeding skin.

The one thing that has been wanting
20 make the educational facilitieso OF Lam
caster county equal to those OF any other
seotion OF the country has been womans
college. We have public and private
echools equal 10 the best; our normal
school stands as high as any we have IN
franklin and Marshall college where
young men can receive ss good classical
and scientific education as anywhere In
tho land but we have not had up to the
present an institution where our young
ladies could have the benefits Of fret
GLASS collegiate education. This want,
however, is for the future to be supplied
through the enterprise Of Prot. II. A.
Brickenstein, principal Of Linden Hall
seminary at Lititz.
In charscteristically modest circular
Prof. Brickenstein announces that the
initial steps at least have been taken to
give at that well known Moravian insti.
tuition an opportunity for young ladies to
prosecute their studies In all those higher
branches of learning that are essential
to q thorough collegiate course, at the
completion Of which they may, II desired,
have the degree Of B. A. conferred upon
them In due form. Besides q continua.
tion OF the studies commenced in the
higher classes Of the seminary, the addi.
tional course will include Latin, Virgil,
Cicero, &c.), higher literature, history
Including contemporary history and the
philosophy Of history, mental and moral
science Including ethics, aesthetics, and
the history Of art), legal status Of women,
besides political and social economy, logic
and evidences of Christianity. To these
may be added still further branches, and
special courses Of lectures as circumstan-
Cos shall demand.
In taking this step forward Linden
Hall has made an important move In the
right direction, one demanded by the
needs and the whole tendency Of the
times. With the prestige and well
won popularity that venerable institu-
tion Of learning already enjoys,
there can be little doubt that
this expansion and enlargement Of its
course In the line OF a high. class college
for women, will be an immediate success.
Il ought to specially appreciated by all
Lancaster countians, and receive their
liberal patronage. 1t completes the edu.
cational equipment Of our county.
