MoRGANrowN, w. VA, August ls.-
The Cooley gang OF outlaws passed
within a mile Of Morgantown, going in
the direction of Uniontown, last night.
They stopped aud took supper az
George CANDLES home, five miles up
Decker's Creek from here. Their move
ments were very cautious, and one man
was on guard during the time that
others partook of their supper. There
were a number of people from here who
saw and spoke to Frank Cooley as he
headed the band going through, and his
smile and nod were those OF a man who
did not fear immediate arrest. They
had probably crossed the Pennsylvania
line before the officers from here had
become satisfied as to their identity.
No work OF violence or thieving has
been heard Of as result OF the visit OF
the terrors.

deeoration-that Is. not 70 interfere with
the usefulness Of the object decorated. The
frieze ought tn possess the boldest pattern
and the brightest colors, inasmuch as It Is
the elimination OF the decorative wave OF
the apartment. The border Of the ceiling
should in some measure resemble the
style and coloring of the frieze, with the
corniee between in contrasting colors. The
whittier the ceiling is painted or decorated
the better, for nothing Is more fatal to the
usefulness Of a room than dark ceiling.
Reflected light is necessary to enable us
to see into the shadows Of objects. II the
light which enters the windows is not re-
hected from the ceiling and the frieze, the
shadows on the face, as on all other OBJ
jects will appear black. The purpose OF
the border in mural decoration Is to divide
or separate the wall from the ceiling OF
the wall and dado. The border being
based on the idea Of an elaborated line is
capable of great enrichment, II the decora.
| tive lines are more or less conventional IN
treatment. The ornament should also con
form to a regular horizontality Of design
and the simplicity in the coloring should
balance the simplicity Of the ornamental
form adopted.
Borders are the enrichment of the wall
and in the case of very light wall, the friezC
ought to be few shades darker than the
wall, but not so dark as the dado. If
however, the filling and dado be both very
dark, light ground will be best for the
border, with diaper pattern upon it. II
Gothic, Norman and Romanesque, or early
English church decoration will be fount
some very beautiful borders.
Furniture for ordinary use should b.

was unconsciously felt by the guests,
and it hindered perfect ease and un-
affected pleasure.
| meditated, too. on the constant
friction which engendered discussions,
harsh criticisms. hasty words and fret
ted spirits. All this led the children,
interesting as they were, to grow dis
respectful toward their parents, which
did not tend to increase the love and
interest of friends.
1t was seldom that the evening hour
was q happy or restful one, for the moth
er, worn and weary with the many per-
plexities and cares of the day, was too
often unable to be merry with or atten-
tive to her children. Their voices and
their noise disturbed her and the moth
er's fretted spirit was contagious. The
little ones were hurried off to bed with an
uninterested nurse, and Mrs. Barstow's
sigh of relief was significant. When |
left one home with reluctance, where
the order. the repose, the easy hospitali-
ty had cheered and delighted me, | was
ready to leave the other, where even
my own spirit became fretted before the
day set for my departure.
In the quiet of my own home, and by
that CHEEKY blaze in the twilight hour, !
said aloud: "And all this difference
which made one home SO delightful to
visit and tho other so much less agree
able, can be accounted for by the order
and promptness and harmony in the one
and the disorder and dilatoriness and
friction in the other. The good cheer
and respect shown to parents in the one
and the lack of it in the other; the ease
of entertaining in the one, the burden
of it in the other; the time which the
parents devoted to their children in the
one home, the absence of such devotion
in the other; the happy, peaceful spirits
in the one, the fretted spirits in the
other; the close fellowship between par
ents and children in the one and lacl
of such sympathy in the other; all this,
| said, lis the result of good early train
ing. or lack of it, in such habits al
must have powerful influence in every
home, which will be felt through life."
Fair faces beaming round the household
hearth,
Young Joyous tones in melody of mirth,
The sire doubly living in his boy,
And she the crown of all that wealth or JOY
These make the home like some sweet Tyr
given
To sound ON earth the harmonies of heaven.
