An Angel in Disguise.

Mr.. HARrER Looking over the
PosT of last week / observed III the
PaXtonville Items that the Y. u.
Mite Society had received such II
beautiful name, viz. Angel" We
never heard that name applied to
the Mite Society or to any other
society composed of such different
matter. But we have heard that
name applied to some individual,
perhaps belonging to the Mits. The
word Angel, both in Greek and
Hebrew language signifies IA mes
senger.' The original word is often
applied to men: 2 Sam. 2 chap. 9TH
V. Luke chap. 52nd ", but when
the term is used, as it generally is,
to designate spiritual beings, it de-
notes the Office they sustain as God 5
messengers, of the agents through
whom he makes known His will and
executes the purpose of his Govern
ment. But there are other Angels
who would like TO have all the An
gelic Honor like to sit in the front
seat in the temple, or at the Altar
giving n smile to the audience like
to have long conversations with the
parson love warm shaking of
hands have u word in all church
affairs, such rs controlling meetings
and Sunday Schools walking
through the audience with sweet
smile and have the same desire as
Absalom had when he stood beside
the way of the gate stealing the
hearts of the Israelites with Il sweet
embrace and kiss. And we fear
that soon this lovely angel will take
up arms and fight against her mother
kingdom, riding on mule like Alb
solom when he fought against his
father. But we hope her hair won't
catch at the limb of an oak, and she
be left hanging between heaven and
earth-the deserved fall of all who
fall from grace.

Seeley Hopkins, who last Septem-
Der killed his wife and mother-in-
law at Phillipsburg, was last week
found guilty of murder III the first
degree and will no doubt speedily
be introduced to the Dance of

was emotional insanity, but il would
not go down with the Jury who had
the following confession before them,
made by prisoner Immediately after
the arrest:

Went up Maple St., to second, then
down Second to Rose Primes and
went into the alley and then into
the back of the house. broke in
the window of the cellar and laid on
the bank in the cellar all night
could not sleep heard them get up,
(meaning Mrs. Wighaman and my
wife); waited while and then went
up steps that lead from the cellar to
the kitchen, but before going up
took off my shoes so that they could
not hear me. When l got in the
kitchen my wife was washing the
dishes. / walked up to her and put
my arm around her and she said
"you s--of n b.! get out" / drew
my revolver and she saw it and said
"Ohl Cele don't" / fired at hei
head when she screamed / fired
another and she fell. / did not see
whether she was dead or not.

woman Mt the head of the stairs,

Our Roll of Honor" is getting to
be recognized rs reliable authority
by business men who desire to see
an enrolment of honest men who
pay their honest debts. and it is
growing III interest every week.
Last week we sent statements to all
persons who are in arrears over one
year on subscription, and though
we recognize that some people are
"ticklish' on that subject. we had
to resort to this mode of collecting,
and ask them, before they take of
fense, to place themselves in our
shoes. Should II man owe you three
or six dollars honest money for four
or five years, and he would get

Who noticed that great break"
that Billhart made in the Institute ?
We would advise Supt. Herman
to watch some of the promising
young teachers of the upper end
play euchre in No. 10.
Thursby volunteers any informa-
ton concerning Billhart's great
break"
Miss Keller is looking just as
bright and sweet as ever, and is still
hunting a man.
A ,chite cap notice has been sent
to the occupants of No. 10. For
further particulars inquire of Won

We wonder why Wonder don't
wonder around in search of some
wondering girl. Surely he is old
enough.
1t has been decided to tar and
feather the occupants of No. 10, il
they still persist in singing Won

Sheriff Bolender has two profes.
sional detectives dressed in citizens
clothes to preserve peace and order
in his house during Institute.
We should like to have Thursby's
grand parade repeated at nm early
date.
Oh. That picture. Ask the Sc
linsgrove girls if he is handsome.
Smith, of Selinsgrove has been ap

at Bclender's.
And still the grand work of educa

country.
A vigilance committee has beer
organized Mt Bolender's and hereaf

Willis has sworn eternal ven

A dispute, arising from accession
to our portrait gallery by one of oul
unpretentious young men, was set
tied i'll the parlor on Monday eve
ming by Potter.
Potter is losing his reputation a'
II disturber of the peace, and Walter
and Herbster have taken his place.
Since leaving the school-roon
some of our ladies are becoming
melancholic. They divert theii
minds by playing catch with tn,
Sheriff's chickens.
Thursby says, when he is 10 miles
from home he is not married.
We noticed on Tuesday and We'd
nesday that quite II number of oul
young teachers both male and fe

They opened their organs of speecl
quite frequently and so wide thai
we thought they looked not unlik,
gaping sepulchres. Among thos,
we noticed most were Smith, Hen

Governor Beaver in his message to
the Pennsylvania Legislature on Tues
day took up the prohibition question,
which will come before the people OF
that State In the shape of a Constitu
tional Amendment. He says the peo-
pie should have an opportunity of vot-
ing directly upon the question at time
when no other election is being held,
and with this end in view he favors the
early passage by the legislature OF the
resolution submitting the proposed
amendment, SO that an election can be
held in May or June.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Dec, 81, 1885,
Just stopped long enough
after the great Holiday bust
ness to take breath. Now we
are prepared to tell you things
which perhaps you are waiting
to know-ready to translate
type-told tales into business
acts.
An Occasion begins in the
store to-day. 1t should COM
mand your quick attention.
Its causes are numerous.
We have been doing great
bargain buying.
Stocks have been overhauled
to discover all excessive guam
titles.
All things damaged by hand
ling or otherwise "of' have
been hunted out.
All stocks depleted by sales
have been replenished.
Many new things have been
prepared for attractive open
lngs.
Its effects are many.
The store is thus to be filled
with bargains-numerous and
real.
The old year goes outleaving
the store in joyful attractive
ness for her newborn sister.
The life and movement are
to be kept up by appeals to
your self-interest and taste.
You will be compelled to
profit by them.
The announcements of to-
day are but the start of many
that will follow. Therefore,
read more diligently than ever
our daily story.
Dress Goods.
On Saturday we announced
40 distinct combinations in
Dress Patterns at So to $40.
The prices are off one-half, and

The terms of 26 United States Sena-
tors will expire on March 4th next. OF
these IS are Republicans and "a Dem
ocrats. The former are Bowen, of Col
orado ;Chace, of Rhode Island; Chand
Ter, of New Hampshire Cullom, of
Illinois Dolph, Of Oregon Frye, of
Maine Hoar, of Massachusetts, Man
derson, of Nebraska ; Palmer, of Mich
igan Plumb, of Kansas ; Riddleberger,
of Virginia Sabine, of Minnesota, and
Wilson, of Iowa. All these vacancies
except in the case of Riddleberger, Of
Virginia, will be filled by Republicans,
and, except Messrs. Bowen, Palmer and
Sabine, all the gentlemen named are
likely to be their own successors.
Messrs. Chace and Wilson have already
been elected for the term beginning
next March. In Virginia Mr.. Barbour,
Democrat, has been chosen to succeed
Riddleberger, loss of one for the Re-
publicans. The Democrats whose
terms expire with the present Congress
are Beck, of Kentucky; Berry, of Ar
kansas Butler, of South Carolina Col
quit, of Georgia Cake, of Texas Glib
sen, OF Louisiana Harris, of Tennessee
Kenna, of West Virginia; Mcpherson,
of New Jersey; Morgan, OF Alabama
Ransom, of North Carolina Salisbury,
of Delaware, and Walthall, of Missis-
sippi. OF these six have been elected
namely, Beck, Butler, Colquitt, Gibson
Morgan and Walthall. Salisbury will
be succeeded by a Republican, thus
compromising for the Republican los:
in Virginia. The six other are candi.
dates for reelection, and three of them
namely, Berry, Cake and Mcpherson
are pretty certain OF success. Harrl:
and Ransom have determined opposi
ton, but the chances of success are ir
their favor. In West Virginia the out
come is uncertain. The Democrat:
have one majority on joint ballot, bu
it is feared by them that one or two o
their members elect are not entirely re
liable and the Republicans may gain {
Senator. But conceding the election
of Democrat to succeed Kenna, eacf
party will return IS Senators to TIT
Congress that begins March 4th, which
will make the next Senate stand as a

Delaware politics have recently be-
come a matter of national concern, in
view of the fact that the Republicans
have it in their power to name a sue
cessor to Senator Salisbury. But out
side OF the importance that attaches to
the Senatorial contest, the Republican
majority in the Lower House of the
Legislature, if it acts wisely, can Ger
tainly place their party IN command
Ing position in the next campaign in
that State. AS Wilmington contem
porary sensibly states the situation.
Every measure of reform demanded by
the people-a call for constitutional
convention, the reform of our methods
of county government, the repeal OF
our Infamous, DISTINGUISHING assessment
laws, a registration law, wise and judi
clous amendment to the liquor laval
these should be promptly passed and
sent to the Senate. If the Senate con-
ours, all right; the Republican party
cannot be deprived of its just share of
the credit for such beneficent legisla-
ton. And should the Bourbon majority
of the Senate be foolish enough to set
its face against the reforms that are SO
clearly demanded by the people, the
Democratic party would not be able to
stand up against the storm of popular
indignation that would sweep over this
State during the campaign of 1890.

''The man." said Edward Everett,
''who stands upon his own soil-who
feels that by the laws of the land in
which he lives-by the laws of civilized
nations-he is the rightful and exclu-
slve owner of the land he tills, is, by
the constitution of our nature, under
wholesome influence not easily lmbibed
by any other source. He feels, other
things being equal, more strongly than
another, the character of man who is
the lord OF an lnanimate world. Of
this great and wonderful sphere which,
fashioned by the hand of God, and up
held by his power, IS rolling through the
heavens, a part of his-his from the
centre to the sky. 1t is the same space
on which the generation before him
moved in its round of duties, and he
feels himself connected by a visible link
with those who follow him, and to
whom he is to transmit a home. Per-
haps his farm has come down to him
from his fathers. They have gone to
their last home, but he can trace their
footsteps over the scenes of his daily
labors. The roof which shelters him
was reared by those to whom he owes
his being. Some interesting domestic
tradition is connected with every en-
closure. The favorite fruit was planted
by his fathers hand. He sported in
boyhood beside the brook which still
winds through the meadows. Through
the field lies the path to the village
school of early days. He still hears
from his window the voice of the Sab
bath bell which called his father to the
house of God and near at hand is the
spot where, when his time has come,
he shall be laid by his children. These
are the feelings of the owners of the
soil. Words cannot paint them; gold
cannot buy them they flow out of the
deepest fountains of the heart, they are
the life springs of fresh, healthy and
generous national character"
