No man ever becomes great, wise
or rich by accident. This we would
like to impress upon the minds Of
many idle young men. A young
mans prosperity depends upon him.

frugal, and set before you an object
in life, you will succeed /; but if you
areindolent, ,improvident and change
able, you will come to no good. A

make up his mind what he means to

hope to succeed in this life.
A Baltimore girl was recently
awarded $500 damages for kiss
bestowed upon her against her will
by man. Recently in the New
York courts three men were charged
50 each for hugging girls against
their (the girls) will. Boys, don't
be too hasty in stealing n kiss wait
until you are permitted-it only takes
a few minutes longer and then,
"You win tind dear boy, that the dearl priced
kiss,

the term serious task for many
parents. 1t is no tritling matter to
supply boy or girl with books and
supplies necessary for successful
work at school, and this year in
particular. it would have been i'm
possible for some parents to have
bought the necessary books for
their children, and quite number
of boys and girls would thus have
been kept away from school on
account of not having the necessary
books and no means Of procuring
them.
Writing of the peach harvest in
Juniata county, Bro. Allison, of the
Uerdld, says it has proved far
less profitable to the producers than
they expected, because of the un-
precedented yield of the Delaware
and Jersey orchards, and the want
of business tact and cordial cooper
alton among the producers. a
Walker township grower shipped 80
crates of choice peaches and received
a return for the lot of only G5 cents.
He recommends that the peach
growers of Juniata county organize
peach exchange, where all peaches
shall be inspected before shipment
and none but choice fruit in good
condition shipped, and to such
places only as there is a demand for
them and where responsible and
honest commission men have been
engaged TO handle them.
