Resignation

'Tis awful hard to bow the head
Aud say, Thy will be DONE
When everything looks dark and drear
And the clouds obscure the sur:
To fold the hands we loved So well
Tenderiy over the breast,
While our lips they feebly whisper
How cam'y she doth rest
lis awful hard to still live on
When those we love prove false;
When faith is dead aud hop. has fl ii
And We are tempest tossed;
TO laugh and smile and hide the Won ID,
That p rhap, viii never heal,
SO the busy world vi never know
The soirow that we feel
'Tis very hard to learn read well
Th'' lesson of The cross;
To connt the many tears We shed
To profit, Lot to loss;
To stand beside--yea, 10 enter in
The portals OF ,,. tomb,
Then look above, beyond it,
OuL from the awful gloom.
To try and see the little seam
That's shining ever So far;
To hear the voice of the Masier-
We still his children are.
TO suffer much, still hope on,
Knowing no consolation,
Yet keeping the light of faith asl"w-
This. then, is resignation

The Legend of Evil.

This is The sorrowfn' story
Told when til twilight tails,
And the monkeys walk together
Holding each oilers's Tails:
''Our fathers lived in tie forest:
Foolish people were they.
They went down to the cornlaud
To leach The farmers 10 play.
--''O'lr fathers frisked in the millei,
Our fathers Skippedin the wheat,
On fathers hung IN the branches,
Our fathers danced in the street.
"Thpn came the terrible farmers,
Nothing of play they knew.
Ouly they caI.Sht our fathers
Aud set them to labor Ico,
''Srt them t. work in the cnrfIanl,
With pillow ami sickles and fl ills.
Put tlen in mndwalled prisons
And cut off their beautiful tails.
Nov We can watch our fathers,
Sullen and bowed and old,
Shopping over the millet,
Stirring the silly mold.
"Driving foolish furrow,
Mcnding a muddy yoke,
Sleeping il. mudwalled prisons,
Sleeping their food in smoke.
''We mn, not speak to otlf flthe 5,
For if the farmers knew
They would come up TO the forest
Aud set us to labor ton,''
This is the horrible story
Told as the twilight fails,
As tie monkeys walk toger her
Holding each others tails.

The Towanda KeUieso advises the
Commissioners to make an investi.
cation before paying the election
boards, to see if some of them did
not Intentionally delay the count in
order to get in an extra half day
In the first place the County Com
missioners have nothing to do with
paying the election boards for theil
services at the Spring elections the
bills being paid by the respective
townships. And in the second
place, as we understand 1t, the law
considers no half days. An investi-
cation of this kind might prove bene
fetal, however, as there is scarcely O
question but what some election
boards do unnecessarily delay the
count in order to work until after
IL o'clock, and thereby get in an
extra day,
The Commissioners of Sullivan
would do we'll to continue this in
vestigation with few of our cleo
ton boards. We say few because
there ere.only few who asked ap
extra day. We vote an investiga-
tion.

Ex-County Treasurer Edward
Bergan is Of the opinion that our
county Treasurer should accept OF
less than five per cent commission
and says, that that will be the is
sue next fall. Ed made this re-
mark in the Treasurer's office on
Friday and it was well taken by the
majority of people present. Ed is
surely friend of the tax payers
and is deserving of much credit for
this bold assertion. There are but
few democrats in our county who
would have dared to advanced this
reduction in the Treasurer's office.
1t is fair to presume that Mr.. Bergan
has named the issue of next Falls
campaign SO far as this Office is con-
cerned.

Says the Philadelphia Star: The
country roads are still in a frozen
condition, and therefore passable
without serious inconvenience, but
the time is near at hand when the
frost will leave the ground, and
there will come the tug OF war for
farmers. The roads then, saturated
as the soil will be by repeated rains
and snow, will be practically inn
passable except at an outlay OF time,
horsefesh and vehicle repair that
farmers can lily bear. For this
there is a remedy, an absolute
specifc-good roads, better, the
best roads that can be constructed.
If taxes were laid Of sufficient
amount to produce revenue that
would meet the cost OF such reads,
we should no doubt have loud and
long complaints from the taxed
parties, which would only be nat
ural but if they would thoughtfully
consider the subject, they could not
fail to reach the conclusion that
they could make no better invest
ment, none that in the end would
pay them such handsome dividends.
They would not receive their
dividends in the shape of money
paid them at stated periods, but in
the form of diminished expenses
Their horses would be longer lived
their wagons and carts would need
fewer repairs, and they would be
able to reach the village, the town
the railroad station, in less than hall
the time than is now required.

When farmer procures a flock
of sheep and turns them out to pick
their living from weeds and stubble,
remarks an exchange, he will not
find much profit in sheep raising.
The time is going by for sheep to
produce something from nothing.
Good breeds, abundant pasturage,
care in winter and warm shelter for
the lambs will revolutionize old
methods, as larger returns will re-
suit from the attention bestowed.

Many years ago people were i'm
prisoned for debt, in this State, and
in looking over some old newspaper
files recently we came across the
following item in point: Gin the
days of Imprisonment debt Isaac
Slocum lived on the hill where VIM.
Benedict now resides. He owned a
tract of land containing about four
hundred acres, which extended from
McCord's land to what is now the
west borough line. During the war
of 1912 he became involved by
making purchases, at high prices,
upon which he could not realize.
Among other ventures, he purchased
one hundred barrels of salt at
twelve dollars a barrel. The wal
soon after closed, the price of salt
came down to three dollars per bar
rel, and as men were imprisoned fol
debt in those days, it became neces-
sary for Mr.. alooam to emigrate
He accordingly moved to Ohio,
which was then considered the fan
west, where his family became
wealthy and highly respected >
This brings to mind the fact that il
was Judge William Elwell. when q
member of the Legislature in 1s43.
who introduced bill, and pressed
it to passage, abolishing imprison
ment for debt. II was q humane
act, and one which the life of Judge
Elwell frequently exemplified while
