THE OLD-FASHIONED RAISING.

THE OLD-FASHIONED RAISING.
Exchange.
Modern mechanical contrivances have
obliterated time hOnOred custom that
was dear to the hearts of the young men
and women of thirty years ago. The
old fashioned raising was time to
which the young people and old, looked
forward with as pent up expectation as
for Fourth of July celebration. At 9
O'Clock in the morning men, boys, girls
and women folks seemed to pop out of
the woods that surrounded the clearing
where the barn was to be raised. The
greetings were warm and hearty, and
the shy glances of the youngsters betok-
ened that the timid element in the human
makeup was as great then as now. All
hands to work, the leader she Oh-heed''
himself hoarse. Theframe was up by noon
and after dinner the fun began. \ ring
was formed, into which two of the stall
wart youths,were pushed for wrestle.
The struggle for supremacy was fierce
vet friendly, and the victor was given
time to get his breath when another
was pushed in; and another, until the
last victor was declared champion y
After the wrestling came jumping, both
high and long. Some of the old boys
declare that distance of Is feet was
easily spanned by the hardy youths of
that day. Thus games, sports, feats of
strength and daring were indulged in,
led on by the magnetic influence of the
eyes of the rustic maidens. until dark
ness closed in on the revelers. After
supper lamps and lanterns were hung in
the barn; the country fiddler tuned up
his violin, the youths got ''pardners, J"
the music struck up, and the fun began.
Stogy boots and awkward shoes beat
imperfect time to an imperfect tune,
while the uncertain glare of the lanterns
disclosed in the background brOad-rim-
med hats, huge smiles trimmed with
large wads of old Virginia leaf. That
was scene that is gone forever 1t faded
before the lighv of civilization like dark
ness before the sun, yet in the lives of
the boys and girls of thirty years ago it
played prominent part and only lives as
a thing of fond remembrance. Soon the
hearts that beat at the old fashioned
raising will cease to beat; the once pow
erful, now tottering frames will be lain
beneath the sod, and the joy of days
gone by will be forgotten forever.

HOPE.

The birds fly homewarl from the sea,
Their white wings painted ON the clouds;
And thus | thought, dear Hope, OF thee,
And of my ships all homeward bound,
Which thou so long hast promised me.
These home bound ships. all rich and rare,
With freightage from an unknown shore,
Where all Things rich and lovely We're,
And all nay coming ships We're more
Than others bright, ana golden fair.
And 50 watched the passing gale,
While hope shook out her golden hair,
And stood upon the rocking rail,
Sweet Hope and |, a fitting pair,
Though sun and moon and stars were pale.

THE man who uses up every energy
in the one object of making money, and
who gauges the value of everything ac-
cording to the opportunities it affords
of increasing his stocks and bank bal
ance, is throwing away not only the
beauty, but much of the usefulness of
his life. For money is but one means
to happiness; it is nothing in itself
nothing when separated from the wis
dom that knows how to use it and the
energy that extracts value and beauty
out of it. That life is not worth living
that is wholly absorbed in gaining mon
ey, and sinks away exhausted in the eff
fort. 1t is like that of the builder who
should spend his entire energies in col
lecting materials without erecting a sin
gle structure, or the wood cutter who
should use all hours of labor in dill
gently sharpening his axe.

through its temporary reverses in the re-
construction PERIOD; that gave us the
lead in the fight for honest money and
saved the Presidency in 1876: that caused
a continuation of the victories for re-
sumption and gave Ohio another Presi-
Dental nomination in 1880: that checked
the Democratic tide of victory in 1857
and assured another Republican National
triumph in the fight for a protective
tariff in 1888, is as strong to day as ever
and is fervent, living spirit that will
know no reverse or abatement until it
has by the triumph of Ohio ideas Won

CHLOROFORM FOR PNEUMONIA.
DR.. Theo. Clemens reports in a medi-
cal journal his experiences in the treat
ment of pneumonia by means of chloro-
form inhalations. During forty-two
years practice he has treated all cases
of pneumonia, severe or mild, with chic
rofOrm inhalations, and has not had a
single fatal case. To the chlOrofOrm he
adds alcohol, saturates some cotton
twisted into ball, covers it with some
loose dry cotton, and holds this to with
in an inch of the patients mouth and
nose. He thinks that the chloroform
spirits are taken up by the blood,
completely changing it in the lungs, and
by detibrinating, prevents its hepitiza-
tion.

form the public, that he is agent for the

been produced. for coughs, colds and
