HERE AT LAST.


The spring is here Mt last,
Let's be glad.
The gloomy days are past,
And the sal.
The spring coats out OF hook,
And We have the sparkling book
And the shad.
The grass is growing green
by the rill.
And the d indelion's sen
On the hill:
On the stalls there's early fruit,
And cones home the wines sDrinu sn;t
With the bill. N--N
The robins have begun
Now to mate.
And the youth Of twenty-one
Meets his fate,
And meath fair Luna's light.
He swings with her at night
On the gate.
The cat upon the shed
Nightly sings:
Till some one 1T his head
Brickhat filings;
But he merely chaas es base
And sings in another pace,
Aes, by jings.

A FELLOW THE GIRLS WANT.

The right kind of fellow is modest and mellow,
And generous and brave and benign;
His natures apparent, and clear and transparent,
Like yours gentle reader, and mine.
He has no verbosity, no tongue tortuosity,
And never is bOastful and loud;
He is gentle and quiet and plain in his Diet
And never gets mad in q crowd.
He don't play the fiddle, part his hair in the mid
die.
Nor dress like an angelic dude;
When he goes to party with Meigs or McCarty,
He never is noisy and rude.
He lives with frugality and sweet hospitality.
And wants pie but two times day;
BE never eats 0niona-3or treads on your bunions,
Nor growls when you get in his way.
He's wise and he's witty, persevertng and gritty,
And has magnificent head; -
He's all light aud sweetness, he's thorough COM
pleteness;
He's perfection, in short hut he's dead!

GOOD SOCIETY.

Among the many blessings posses
ed by the people Of the United
States, there are few superior to that
of having good society. That its
effect on the human mind is truly
elevatlng in its nature is beyond the
question of every right-thinking
person. There is a marked differ
ence in the thoughts, words, actions,
and even the very natures Of those
who have been reared amid the gen
ial and renovating influences Of good
society and of those who have not.
We who have been raised where it
has prospered delight to look back
on the past. We see once more the
smiles, lear the kind words and note
the noble actions of those who did
much in the formation of our char
acters. The lessons we reCited ii
Sabbath>school, the excellent advice
given us by our teachers and the
counsels of the Holy Scriptures
seem fresh in our memories and
cause us to endeavor to walk IN thu
paths of righteousness and peace
But in many parts Of this American
country good society is not as flour
ishing as it should be. We otter
meet with those who seem to wholly
disregard the second and fourtI
commandments, the former of whicl
| forblds the taking of Gods name Il
vain, while the latter teaches us K
properly observe the Holy Sabbath.
"To extinguish good society woul(
produce a darkness in the mora
world like that which the annlhila.
ton of the sun would cause in th,
material, while every effort that i
made to advance and promote it il
like the removing of cloud from
the sky and giving free passage t,
the hight which freely lighteth a.
things" c. j SPURLoCK. (

0weer Coincidence.

In DerKs county, Pa, at the little
village of Shillington, lives Samue!
Shilling, a living fulfllment Of re-
markable coincidence. lie first saw
the light of day on Feb. %, 1919.
Beginning with the date Of ms birth
it seems that the father of his coun-
try has kept watchful eye on Sam
ucl Shilling every day for the past
seventy years.
Shilling was married on Feb. %
to a woman, who, like himself, was
born on that date. Their first child,
boy, was born on Washngton's
birthday, exactly one year to day
after their marriage, and two years
afterwards, on the same date, twins,
q boy and a girl, were added to the
Washington,blessed household.
Five years rolled around, when, on
the fifth anniversary of their we'd
ding, another infant, a little glrl,
was added to their blessings, The
fifth and sixth child, another pair Of
twins, came around on schedule time
two years later, exactly, and upon
the seventh anniversary of the we'd
ded life begun on the natal day Of
our first president.
Mr. Shilling is very proud Of the
lucky coincidence that he has con-
nected his name and that of his fam
lily so inseparably with that OF the
immortal George Washington.
Many remarkable stories, all true,
as far as the writer has been able to
ascertain, have been related, but it
is doubtful if there is another case
on record where a father, his wife
and SIX children all claim one births
day, and that, too, one of the most
/ historical in the whole calander.-
