The Middleburgh post. [volume] (Middleburgh, Snyder Co., Pa.) 1883-1916, 1893-04-27

BY his candor, by his kindness, by
his perfect freedom from restraint,
by saying what he thought, and say
ing it absolutely in his own way, he
made it not only possible, but pop
ular to be natural. He was the
enemy of mock solemnity, of the
stupidity respectable. of the cold
and formal.
At other points in his lecture the
orator said:
Lincoln had the unconscious ma
turalness of natures self.
Through manners, clothes, titles,
rags and race he saw the real-that
which is. Beyond accident. policy,
compromise and war he saw the end.
He was patient as destiny,
whose undecipherable hyroglphicsy
were so deeply craven on his sad
and tragic face Nothing dis
closes real character like the use of
power. 1t is easy for the weak to be
gentle. Most people can bear ad-
yersity but if you wish to know
what man really is, give him power.
This is the supreme test. 1t is the
glory of Lincoln that, having almost
absolute power, he never abused it,
except on the side of mercy.
Colonel Ingersoll concluded his or
alton as follows
Wealth could not purchase, power
could not awe this divine, this low
ing man. He knew no fear except
the fear of doing wrong. Hating
slavery, plying the master-seeking
to conquer, not persons, but pre-
Ijudices- was the embodiment of
self denial, the courage, the hope
and the nobility of nation.
He spoke not to inname, not to
Iupbraid, but to convince. He raised
his hand, not to strike but in bene-
diction. He loved to see the pearls
of Joy on the cheeks of wife whose
husband he had rescued from death.
Lincoln was the grandest figure of
the fiercest civil war. He is the
gentlest memory of our world.

Grady Moore had the sad misfortune 10
have his corn-orib and contents totally de-
stroyed by fire last Thursday night, about
8 o'clock. The crib was at leat 200 yards
from any dwelling house, and there had
been no Ere near it, so its origin is q mys-
terry. Some think that perhaps rat had
stolen q match and took 1t into the crib, and
in nibbling the Phosphorus set Ere to the
place. Some suspect an iueendisry, but
cannot "spot" him. To my mind there are
too many unaocountable fires nowadays for
all Of them to be charged to rags and
matches. Csrelessness in buning brush Or
from other fires in the open air has no
doubt, much to do with such accidents, but
incendiaryism is becoming alarmingly con-
mon in the country.
We had two "forsst fires" near here last

His relations with the board were Of tho

The Perfect Girl.

= Girls, remember that the perfect woman,
like theperfsct peach or the perfect rose,
shsuld not be judged 30 muoh by what she
is as for what sho hopes or aims to be.s She
loves the beautiful, the refined and the
artistic, aud her wishes and endsavors are
ever reaching out to get them aud yet her
environment aud fate have placed her with
in certain walls beyond which she cannot
pass, and so her passion for beauty that
might have glowed in painting and lived in
sculptursd forms takes on another form and
appeals 10 the world in blooms Of house
plants and in the adornnent OF her tidy
homes. Music that might have charmed
listening thousands from the mimic stage
lulls infancy to sleep castles that filled her
girlhood dreams live in needlework on tides
and aprons, and the noble prince who wait
ed in tho courtyard for her csming now
reigns her king and lord in the husband
of her choice.
In fact the perfect girl is she who can
make the best of what she has, and eunoblc
the low and common, making them sacred
aud laudable. So for today and in the COM
ing days the perfect girl must be one who
can do all things well, who can turn the
churn crank or play the pisno aud harp, or
stand over the steamiug wssh-tub aud crown
her head with the soapy rainbows of the
Mondays wash. This is the girl that the
world wants today. 1t will want her still
more tom orrow, and more and more in years
to come.
