"Mv wife" said Mr.. Harrison, "is
painfully, almost NOR bidly, anxious to
do everything she can for poor children,
especially for orphans. And about
Christmas time she seems especially
nervous about it.. There is story about
it, Of course, butt is too long and too
painful to tell now" This to Mr.. Van
Meter, whose earnestness in his chosen
work made him rejoice in every new
found friend, ard whose enthusiasm was
contagious.
Before long the story was known.
Mrs. Harrison's father was wealthy
manufacturer, whose two daughters
were the children of different mothers,
and developed as they grew to woman
hood strikingly different characteristics.
The elder one, Sarah, was the daughter
of his first wife, who had deserted him
and her infant child to run away with
one of his clerks. He knew little Of her
story after her fight, but in the course
of a year and a half he learned that she
had been forsaken by her lover and had
plunged into such a terrible course OF
dissipation that death had been merci-
fully speedy in overtaking her. A year
later he married the second time.
Again daughter was born to him,
and as the two children grew up they
were treated. as nearly as possible, e1-
actly alike. Everything that money
could buy, or affection dictate, was at
their command, and every influence Of
refinement and education was e1erted to
fit them for high place in society, but
whether it was some taint in the blood,
or morbid broodirg over mothers
sin and shame, something led the elder
daughter TO turn away from good and
seek evil from her early youth. The
father sought in every way possible to
avert the misery which he foresaw for
himself, and for her, but it was OF no

Glass Legislation.

For years there has been a system
of class legislation in the United
States which has favored and insured
the robbing of masses. Monopolies
have been created and protected;
the gov eminent has responded to
the call of rich schemers to give
them help, financial and otherwise,
until the gift of public lands and the
granting of subsidies, with the official
corruption which accompanied them
became a national scandal; officials
have plundered US from the time of
the credit MObilier down, and the
government has winked at it; trusts
organize to rob US, and Congress,
sits and rises, without furnishing
protection; rings manage our politics
and corrupt scoundrels even rob the
ballot box of our ballots, and still in
the face of all this, the American
people have been as quiet and law
abiding as the most peaceful demon,
stration of nature. There is not
another spot upon the face of the
green earth on which there would
not have been savage rebellion
against system of laws and prac-
ticds that encourage such an injus-
tlce upon the people. Ike majority
of our people are in the rural dis
tricts, in our fields, and the Ameri.
can farmer is law abiding. He has
no use for jails or police officers. He
attends to his own business, and
submits to all laws just or unjust.
Fortunately he belongs to class that
is strong enough, in an emergency,
to whip all the cities in the land,
into obedience to law. The trouble
in the past has been that the farmer
has been so everlastingly submissive
that he has just laid down and let
everybody else trample upon him.
He has not even demonstrated
against bad laws and bad treatment,
But be is beginning to kick now.
and while he will still be law abid
ing citizen he will secure the change
of some very bad laws. He has done
that already Western RaraL.

Baltimore American Fiction,

Baltimore gets less than $4,000
for licensing nearly 5000 liquor sa-
looms. 1t should get million for
licensing half as many. High license
is the measure that works the change
and, at the same time, benefits the
city by improving the moral condi-
ton, decreasing drunkenness and
enhancing property values"
HIGH LICENSE FACTS.
Fl. w. Hardy of Lincoln, Nebras.
ka, is called 1.-THE father of the Ne.
braska High License law" In an
swer to letter of inquiry regarding
the workings of High License in that
State lie says:
at does not lessen the drinks or

After man pays $1,000 he pushes
things the best he knows how. 1t is
whiske. devil in a temperance
garb. We were deceived by it or
Nebraska would haYe Prohibition
to-day. The money serves as a
bride. At first the liquor men tough;
against it; now they all fight for it.
There is no longer any excuse for
being deceived as we were. The
fraud has been tested and found
wanting. High License is one of
the deYil's best devices to deceive
good temperance people. Then to
think was his first agent on earth
to start it Don't you think 1 ought
to do something to atone for such
conduct"

echo of the mouth of the saloon. W.

Lincoln, Neb., and the father of
High License, gives the above testi.
mony against his offspring after a
test of eight years. Which ought a
sensible man to believe? If the
american was honest and desired its
readers to know the truth about
High License, it would publish the
statistics of crime and drunkenness
of High License cities, but that
would not be serving the whiskey

Has the Millennium ArrivedP


We might suppose so in reading the ac-
count given Of the recent Republican Con-
vention in Pennsylvania in a paper of this
County. There was the greatest harmony
in said convention, the leopard and kid lied
together, and the Prohibition lion partook
Of the straw provender provided in silence.
He does not think it at all necessary to tell
us that they endorsed and accepted the tat
tered remains of the Books High License
law. with simple suggestion that The next
legislature repair the rents made by the
Supreme Court and patch it up so it can be
made to subserye the purp use Of its authors
and hold the temperance vote. Is this a
part of the scheme set up, to play the mute
dodge here in Cecil, until this High License
pill is sugar coated, ready to swallow?

Farmers Meeting.


Fulton Grange No. &c, Patrons of
Husbandry, have arranged for hold
ing a Harvest Home Assembly on
Thursday and Friday, Sept. end G.,
1889, in the grove at Black Barren
Spring, Pleasant Grove Up. o., Ian.
caster Co., and have extended greet
ing and a cordial invitation to the
farmers and their families of Ian
caster. Chester and York counties,
Pa, and of Cecil and Hartford coun
ties, Md, to participate.
Last year it will be remembered
that the Black Barrens meeting of
farmers was so satisfactory that a
general desire was expressed that
these annual meetings should be
continued and invested wish increas-
ed interest, and looking to this end
preparations for this year have been
provided.
The Pennsylvania State Board of
Agriculture has, on the recommends
ton of the Lancaster County Agri-
cultural Society, arranged to hold q
Farmers Institute during the two
days of the Assembly, at which the
Secretary and members of the County
Society, with prominent writer's and
experienced farmers will be present
and make addresses or read papers
on practical farm topics.
This is the nucleus of real Agri-
cultural Fair, where the gambling
horse jockey has no place assigned
him. This manner of farmers exhibit
tions is bound to take the place Of
the fakes miscalled agricultural fairs
where every cheap device is provid-
ed to attract the attention of visitors
from the agricultural features of the
fair and draw money from their
pockets.
Mr.. James Black, proprietor of
the Black Barren Spring, who is the
leading spirit in organizing this
farmers meeting, says in the pro-
gram he has published: "This as
sembly is modelled after the great
Granger meetings at Williams
Grove, Pa, with no entrance fees,
no premiums, no fakir shows, no
rum selling, no politics, no money
grabbing; but meeting place for
farmers and their families to Assem-
BILE and compare their stock, pro,
ducts and handiwork, exchange
greetings, impart and receive in
struction. Manufacturers and agents
are at liberty to expose for exami
nation and sale any article apper,
tanning TO farm use
"The ladies of the Conowingo W.
c. T. U. will provide refreshmept
tables of wholesome food and drink,
fruit, CONNECTIONS, &c. No huckster
stands will be permitted"
Mr.. Black reporting progress at
the last meeting of Fulton Farmers
Club, on the 10th, said from the list
of prominent speakers named the
meeting will be grand feast for
farmers and all interested in agricul-
ture. The State Board of Agricul-
ture will hold an institute in connec.
ton with the assembly and fair and

penses. The giving of premiums or
honorable mention was discussed,
but not approved by the Club.

but that she had come, his own, dainty

said, in frightened tone, clinging to
him. II was so afraid l shouldn't ind

II there was any thing more required
to unstring John Anderson's self-posses-

her little confession with sobs.
HE was posed to your loving me
and wouldn't let you write; and so you ran
away and came back to poor, faithful

sobs. ''Guardy wishes me to marry his
nephew, and he took me off to Europe
to make me forget you, he said. But
won't wed Tom Walton. never!"
NO" said John. You'll marry plain
John Anderson If you choose and no
man on earth dare interfere"
Then he kissed the tear-stained face,
and all the pain went out OF his heart
as he whispered something in her ear
which dried the tears and prompted a
