Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1890-10-30

One sometimes finds gem among ole!
letters, the castaways of forgotten
years.
The following congratulatory letter
to young lady on the eye Of marriage
is venerable, but it is worth preserving
II am holding some pasteboard in
my hand-three stately pluckIngs from
the bash of ceremony.
am gazing upon card and upon a
name--a name with which your gentle
life begun, name with which your
throbbing heart was lost. There is
nothing strange about that card.
The maiden sign still looks up from
it, calm and customary, AS it looks on
many a friendly visit, as it lies in many
formal basket.
am gazing, too, upon card where
the nearer parent tells the world she
will be at home one day, and that is
nothing new.
But there is another card whose
mlngling there puts a tongue on fire
into that speechless pasteboard. 1t
tells US that these cards are but the
heralds of a coming crisis, when Il hand
that has pressed friends hands ande
tplucked flowers shall close down on on
to whom she will be friend and flower
forever after.
1 send you few flowers to adorn the
dying moments Of your single life ;
they are the gentlest type of a delicate,
durable friendship.
They spring up by ones side when
others have deserted it, and will be
found watching over our graves when
those who should have been there have
forgotten US.

Old Jones' Philosophy.

Modesty is q good rudder, but Il bad
engine.
L,ckin' may teach a boy to dance,
but not to do sums.
You may get learning at school but
sense comes natural or not at all.
You just bring a couple Of little
quarrels into your family and they will
breed like sparrows.
Don't go back on your friends when
you're in luck, nor give away your um
umberla Just because the sun shines.
You cant always judge man by the
blood he's got. Cornbread an whisky
comes from the same family.
A runaway boss is worse'n run
away wife, because he some times takes
you with him.
Sometimes when man seems to be
havln the worst luck, he's only getting
ready to come out like a log from a
sawmill, worth double price.
Don't send fox to tend geese or a
cat to skim milk, unless they have "a
good reputation for honesty. Remem.
Der this when you put your money in
the bank.

EIGHT HOURS

Tomorrow, the list of May will witness
the labor demonstration which workers
here and in Europe will make as a strong
sentiment OF their deepest feeling. The
demand that the working people are
making IL for a day of eight hours. This
"a looked on as a gain for labor-to do less
work and receive the same wage asfor the
longer day.
There II much to be said on both sides
But the difficulty Of accomplishing TINS
