DON'T BI1ME THE WORLD

Don't blame the world because the thorns are
found among the roses;
The day that breaks in storm may be all sun
shine when II closes.
We cannot hope to always meet with fortunes
fond caressing;
a Il that which seems most hard to bear may
bring with il a blessing.
The buried seed must rot in earth ere il pro-
duce he flower,
And the weak plant TO fructify must have
both sun and shower,
20 man. TO gain development, must struggle
with life's crosses.
And view with calm philosophy his trials and
his losses.
A deadly, pois nous weed may yield salye Of
sureSt healing.
Tae sweetest blossom may pois'nous be al
though It's bane concealing.
Things are not always what they seem, but
still twas Heaven designed them,
And We should class them all as good and take
them As we find them.
Little we know OF this brief life, and nothing
Of its sequel.
Then let us axe in humble trust al that may
seem unequal
Gods ways are not our ways, and He should
certainly be trusted
All that il wrong in His good time will surely
DC adjusted

dropping reddish moustache tinged with

chary of his autograph when properly

Miss Tessie Fair, who is one Of the
most notable catches in the matrimon-
ial market, is seen a great deal about the
theaters in New York. She dimes in the
Hoffman House restaurant with her
mother and sister every night, and her
table is gazed at by variety Of profess
sional bachelors with faces more or less
indicative of a deep and earnest yearn-
ing. Whoever will marry Miss Fair will
come into possession Of her original
dowry, together with the share which
she is 10 have from her fathers estate,
the whole Of which foots up to so many
millions that il is rather a dazzling thing
to think Of during this era Of financial
depression. Miss Fair looks something

William Morris, now the second Of
English living poets, might like Tenny-
son, and unlike Browning, be taken for
a poet by a man in the street Art, lit
erature, and socialism are his three in
terests. lie talks rapidly, eloquently,
suggestiyely, finds the need Of pacing
about the room when he gets warm with
his subject, is entirely frank, unconven-
tional, and sincere, and shows grand
manliness, simplicity, strength and di-
rectness of mind lie is a scholar 10 the
lips Of him, without the scholars petty
love Of detail. As a speaker he has much
improved on the rough style Of early
days, and is now fluent, and even grace
ful, preferring to speak without notes.

MilIer,s Charity.

On the breaking out of the revolution,
committees of safety We're formed in
different districts to support the cause.
At the head Of the Lancaster county com
mittee was Michael Widman, who kepta
public house, and who had been vestry-'
man in the reformed church. This
church Peter Miller had left when he
joined the Baptists Widman prosecuted
Miller to shameful extent, even splitting
in his face when lie met him.
Widman was at first bold and active in
the cause of independence, but become
discouraged and resolved to go to Phila-
delphia and conciliate General Howe, the
British commander, who then held that
city
His reasonable intentions having be-
come known to the Americans, he was
arrested and taken to the nearest block
house at the Turks Head, now West
chester; he was there tried by court
martial and sentenced to be hanged.
Peter Miller, hearing of his arrest, went
to General Washington and pleaded for
mercy toward him. The general an
swered that the state OF public affairs
was such as to make it necessary that
renegades should suffer Otherwise l
should most cheerfully release your
friend"
Friend - exclaimed Miller, he is my
worst enemy-my incessant reviler.
Said the general My dear friend, ]
thank YOU for this example Of Christian
charity :" and he granted Widman's par
don.

Neisse, where Eduard Karl Oscar Theo-
dor Schnitzer. alias Emin Pasha, and son
Of the merchant, Louis Schnitzer, was
christened and confirmed. The boys
parents were Jews, and he was only

On Saturday hald-eagle attacked
dog on the farm oa which Mr.. Wallace
Field, lives. near Derwood, Md, and took
from it piece of fresh beef. Mr.. Fields
attention was called to his dog. which was
about one hundred yards from the dwell
ing, by its piteous howlings, and advanced
in that direction. Running toward the
house was the dog. g.with the piece of beef
in his mouth and the eagle apparently
riding on the dogs back and billing his
head until the blood was profusely flow
ing,
The dog dropped the meat and the eagle
seizedit, skimming the earth in its fight
The dog turned on the eagle again with
another dog that had come to his assis-
tance, and recovered the meat. The eagle
seemed ravenous in its appetite, and
attacked the dogs the second time, and
secured the meat, taking flight alighting
in large tree on the PREMISE Mr.
Fields had loaned hisgun out, and. before
his return from a a'neighbor's with a gun
to shoot the eagle, it had taken its final
departure and has not been seen since.
