4 CHILDHOOD LEGEND.
Tho Awfully Wicked Aunt and the Ex.
ceedingly Good BOY.

The Awfully Wicked Aunt and the Ex-
ceedingly Good hoy.
When Henry was Ave years old his
father and mother concluded to die and
leave him an orphan, and rs soon as
they could conveniently bring II about
they did SO. Henry's only living rela-
tive was an aunt who lived in . hut by
herself on the edge Of a large forest, and
when he was left alone she came over,
gathered up the personal property in .
handkerchief, and took him by the ear
and said:
'IIenceforth you are to live with me,
and If don't make you the saddest or
phan in Posey County then III never
ask fer another rebate on taxes"
And she was as good as her word.
From early morn she made Henry wish
he had never been born. In addition to
cutting all the fuel, bringing water from
the spring, and keeping robbers away at
night, he was expected to split i've hun
Of acres Of corn and sprinkle
the potato patch with Paris
green. It was seldom he murmared, hui
once in q great while, after receiving an
unusually bad scalp wound, he would
| tarn upon her in his childish way and
plaintivcly inquire:
Aunt Scupcrnong, how can You dnd
it in your heart to treat poor end d.
lapidated orphan ~ this bloodthisty
Manner?'
And she would utter chuckle which
would have turned the blood Of . hyena
to ginger ale, and, scizing the rcd.hol
poker, thrust it through bis body several
times with exceedingly great relish.
You may think this thing went on fol
eighteen or twenty years without end
but 1t didn't. Thore is q limit to how
much you can pound an orphan, One
day, after Henry had been with hi,
cruel aunt for thirteen years, and just
after she had attempted to gouge out hi
eyes to use ~ buttons on her new ful
cloak, he went TO tho forest for fuel, and
on his return he found great black ca,
in the hut and his aunt missing. HI
looked at the cat as il an explanation
would come in handy, and tho lattel
drew down her left eye and said:
Toughest piece Of sirloin, I've go
away with in five years, but guess
can manage to keep her down. iou are
now your own boss, and as yoM take thu
road for Buffalo remember that half tn.

PERSIAN CIVILIZATION.
False Impressions Prevailing In Europ'
and America.

False Impressions Prevailing In Europe
and America.
/ have been much surprised to hear
even we'll educated Englishmen, In re-
cent discussions on Persia, speak OF the
Persian Nation as II it were completely
wanting in civilization and were ages
behind Europe in manners, customs and
ideas. Such false impression Of the
characteristics and social condition Of
our good friends, the neighbors Of our
Indian Empire. is think, due to ignor-
rance, and fear also to insular preju-
dice. Persia has not progressed IS Eu-
rope has done, but Persian civilization
and Persian art had reached high de-
gree Of development when England was
covered with tangled forests and Its in
habitants were half-clothcd savagcs,
whose highest skill was shown in the
slaughter OF wild animals with the
rudest of weapons. Persian civilization
has refrigerated, though Persian art is
certainly stifcd by the introduction
Of cheap but inartistic articles from,
the commercial West. In Persia po-
lite etiquette is as strictly observed az
IN any country in the world, and though,
in some trifies, the manners Of Persian
gentleman may appear strange and even
amusing when observed in the
West it is safe to say
that nothing which Per.
sian gentleman would be likely IA d.
when mixing in Western society would
in any way shock the delicate feelings
of that society. In this respect it II
fortunate that the recent journeying Of
the Shah and his suite were sufficiently
extended to give practical and wido
spread contradiction to the numerou!
! absurd stories which had been cur
rent conccrping the disagrceablo pc
culiarities Ct Persian manners and Gus
/ toms.
As regards habits Of personal cleanli
ness, on which Englishmcn 50 great!
pride themselves, it may astonish man.
Of my readers to learn that tho Per
slams, with considerable reason, conside
themselves far superior to any Western
in this respect. will only mention, =
an instance, that the Persian consider
that to remain sitting in a small batl
and to commence and completa abiu
tions in tho same water is far from
clearly habit, and it Is one which !
never practiced in the heated bath
which the native frequents with sue
pleasure in Persia, and which he great
misses when travelling in tho West

Make Way for . Union Of the Masses

Throughout the world, among Pa
gans and Christians, under the cres.
cent and the cross, mankind accept
rs the perfect law Of love this un-
changeable rule Of charity: AS We
would that others should do unto
you, do We even 50 unto them"
In all chimes and countries, man.
kind are essentially alike, in their de-
sires, ambitions and hopes. Coming
direct from the workshop Of Nature.
every being or thing is masterpiece
Of evolution. There are no mistakes
in creation.
Those crude products OF unframed
human intelligence, man-made laws,
are as changeable as the seasons, and
as unreliable AZ the visions Of the
night. The progressive radicalism Of
one century becomes the progress re-
tarding conservatism OF the next.
The ''Great Teacher" OF the first CEN
fury, who was sneered ut by his con-
temporaries as 1.-The friend Of publi-
cans and Sinners" became the God of
future centuries, and the fanatic OF
yesterday is the wise statesman Of to-
day.
On this ilAperishable foundation
''Charity for all, malice toward none, y
let the united people build new
temple Of Liberty, and bid all men
enter therein and find their own. A

During the semi-annual encampment of the
Department OF Pennsylvania the big day will
be September 2, which has been set apart as
Pennsylvania Reserve day" at which time
dedicatory services will be held from the ros-
trum of the National Cemetery. Department
Commander Denniston reports that everything
is in readiness for q grand encampment. The
tents will be pitched on Cemetery Hill and will
be well supplied with an abundance of hay. A
good band will be in attendance and will give
concerts every morning and evening during
the continuance of the encampment, from Au-
gust 30 to September 5. During the encamp-
ment the fourth reunion of the Eighteenth
Pennsylvania Cavalry Association will be held
on Wednesday, September 8.
A feature of this encampment will be the
elegant illumination. The date was fixed with
the view of having plenty of moonlight during
the evenings; but not satisfied with that, ar
rangements have been made whereby the rail-
roads will have the fields beautifully illuminated
with electric lights. Transportation has been
arranged for on the various railroads, and
there is every indication of a very large attend
ance. Allegheny will be largely represented,
as well as the entire western end Of the State
1t would be wise for the comrades going not to
forget the necessity of an ample provision of
blankets and other necessary articles for their
comfort In camp.

The criticisms of the New York performance
of 1.-THE Banker" gave Mr.. Edgar considerable
praise for his work, and the play was admitted
to have strong situations. 1t has been con-
densed and otherwise improved since then, and
an interesting performance may fairly be ex-
pected.
The Grand Opera House has been thoroughly
cleaned, new velvet carpets have been laid
down, the lobby has been repainted in very
bright cheerful colors, and those dreadfully
aggressive chairs have been made innocuous.
Altogether the Opera House is in a very proper
state of repair, and Manager Wilt must be
congratulated upon the appearance Of his
theater.
