VALUE OF THE PAST.
How Its Influence Is IndelIbly Stamped
ON the Present.

How Its Influence Is IndelIbly Stamped
ON the Present.
The power OF the past over every
instant OF the present is so subtle In its
operation that it tells in the most iE-
significant acts. One of my friends.
who has had much experience in
tuition, tells me that he knows imme-
diately. without asking questions.
whether young man has had a classi-
cal education or not A close observer
might possibly guess from the slightest
movements If young man had been
accustomed 10 athletic exercises.
In all the arts there are momentary
difficulties that only the most dexterous
can fully overcome. In other words.
the labor OF years is concentrated in
the skill of a moment. the extensive
past operating with all its accumulated
force upon the narrow present On
witnessing these momentary displays
of a skill that is almost tincomprehensi-
BILE thoughtful person is chiefly inn
pressed by that marvellous law of
nature which makes years of previous
labor available all at once.
The great difficulty in employing the
present well is that the use of it must
form part of some consistent scheme
or we'll devised arrangement of life.
There is no satisfactory present that
is not firmly rooted in the past. 1t is
the sense OF this great need OF the
past which drives people who have no
steady pursuits 10 a perpetual waste OF
time. They feel that desultory efforts
are useless, and they can not determine
to undertake those that might be effect
ual aud continuous. Hence the great
advantage in the trades and profess
sions, that they insure continuity; they
keep the cobbler to his last. the painter
to his palette. 1t is thus, in the ar
rangcments OF nature, that the present
is made so valuable. that men are. on
the whole. SO wonderfully efficient now
when We want their services. and do
not put us of with promises OF future
utility. This is the one admirable re-
suit, that civilization helps us now
that tho telegraph is ready to take our
message and the steamer ready to
start. and the fire engine ready to stop
the conilagration. The increased ex-
pericnco OF the human race is leading
it more and more to appreciate tho
Importance Of the present. and to look
upon the future only as that which will
be the present in its turn.-Scribner's .

Tremendous Fall Of Water In Pennsyivapis
Does Groat Damage II Many Buildings
Swept Away and Crops Destroyed.


Swept Away and Crops Destroyed.
GREESsBURG, PA, July 11.-One OF
the most destructive storms that ever
occurred in this section passed over tho
northern end of the county last evening
about o'clock. Rain fell in torrents,
and the creeks for miles around tho
mining village Of Crab Tree oycrhowed,
and crops of wheat, hay and oats wero
carried down the stream. The waters
of Crab Tree and Thorn Greeks
were the most damaging. Trees
were uprooted in their course, and
buildings situated on their banks havo
been swept away. Every bridge on both
creeks from Crab Tree to Salisbury has
been carried away, and two or threo
hundred yards OF the Crab Tree Branch
railroad has been completely washed
out. No lives have as yet bcen reported
lost A hail-storm followed, and was
most disastrous to the corn crop, and it
is thought to be entirely destroyed. Tho
storm embraced an area Of about thirty
miles, and in many places tho whca.
which had been cut by tho farmers in
the morning was carried down the
streams in shocks. At Salem and at
the Five Points and along the Loyal
hanna Crock the damage isgreat. Thcloss
will run up into thousands OF dollars. 1t
is believed the food was caused by a
cloud-burst, inasmuch as itwas confined
to that narrow limit the rain here be-
ing very light. The Crab Tree railroad
is branch OF the Pennsylvania road,
and it is thought the full extent of tho
damage to the road has not yet been
told, as it runs for distance on the fiat
below where the washout was observed.
Tue water is now falling rapidly.
