On the fly leaf of an old inventor
book in the Office of the Register of
Wills for Cecil county has been found
the cOuplet-
"Nr. John Young, his hand and pen,
He will be good, but God knows when"
This book contains records from the
year 1853 to 1869 at which period Mr..
Young was probably a clerk in the Of
hce. The records are written in the
same hand as the lines. An article
recently appeared in the Philadelphia
Record stating that Among other relics
of the bOyhood Of Abram Lincoln now
in the possession of citizen of Atchi
son, KAN, is ragged and yellow Leaf
from a copy book containing the fol-
lowing stanza, which was probably
Lincoln's first attempt at poetry:
Abraham Lincoln, his hand and pen,
He will be good, but God knows when"
The discovery at Elkton evidently de-
prives Lincoln of the honor of the
early composition, and the citizens OF

Drouth and Religion.

The drouth and general hard times
have compelled the people in Ashland,
Clark county, Kan, to dispense with
some Of their ministers in the interest
of economy. They went about it in a
practical, systematic way. There had
been seven ministers Of different de-
nominations in the place, and as it had
been decided that only one could be
supported, it was proposed that vote
should be taken and che one receiving
the highest number of votes should re-
main and attend to the spiritual wants
OF the entire population. The idea
was carried out, the poll showed a
plurality Of votes for the Methodist
minister, who was engaged, and the
other six were discharged.
1t is proposed that the other drouth-
stricken counties of Kansas shall aGopt
the same plan, and the money that is
saved in this way be used to aid the
needy. The idea is applicable not
only TO Kansas but to many other
neighborhoods. There is scarcely a
country town, even in the oldest set
tied States, that is not trying to sup
port from two to five times as manv
churches as it is able. Where one
strong, vigorous society could live and
make its influence felt, five or six
are found, each struggling for existence
and taxing the energies of their sun
porters to keep them alive. The con.
sequence is a great waste of energy.
money and time, and a lessening of
the influence the church ought to exert
on the morals of the community.
An example was given in Long Isl,
and City, n Y, last Sunday of the
narrowness Of the line that seperates
the different Christian denominations.
The Catholic Church had been de-
stroyed by fire and the society was in
vited by the Baptists to worship in
their church. The invitation was ac-
cepted and the Catholic service was
held in the Protestant church. and
when it was over the Baptsts and the
Methodsts entered the building to.
gether and held a united service. ac.
cordlng to their own custom. Mis-.
fortune in these two cases brought the
members of the different denominations
together and taught them how much
they have in common. In Kansas il
was drouth aud in Long Island City il
was fire that showed them that by
whatever name they are called thew
are all men and Christians aud with
the same object in view.
Misfortune always bring its good les.
sons. Ifit enforces the fact upon some
communities that the cause of Chris
tianity aud morality can be advanced
by fewer church divisions and that a
greater unity and conservation of forces
in religious work is desirable it will do
a good work. Drouth and fire are hard
calamities to bear but they have theiI
ccmpensatiOns, as is being proved in
Kansas and Long Island City.-PhiI0

An astronomical genius, who thinks
that he has found the cause of this hot
and dry weather, has sent a eommuni-
cation on the subject to the New York
Sun. 1t is all owing to the scarcity Of
eclipses, and to the fact that the moons
shadow hasn't touched New York. It
is impossible that the Empire State

world suffer in order to elude the gen.
tie touch of shadow. Let her

France it is said, will this year want
64,000,000 bushels of wheat from the
surplus country, as compared with As
100000 bushels last year. France has
population of SS,212,9OS, and she
raised in 1892, 81, 100000 bushels Of
wheat, on 17,S00,OOO acres of land.
The yield Of wheat in France per acre
Is ahead Of that in the United States,
which shows that the people of this
country have something to learn yet in

Germany and Russia are anything
but free trade countries, and just now
are playing the high tariff racket on
each other. Russia saw the German
grain crops would be short, so she put
a heavy export duty on her wheat and
rye. This angered Germany, who re-
piled by at once increasing the tariff on
all importations from Russia by 90 per
cent. Russia has proved equal to the
occasion, however, and now put an in
crease of 80 per cent. on all goods i'm
ported from Germany.

AND HOW IT MAY BE MADE A JOY TO
THE JAW OF THE HUNGRY.

Don't throw away cold potato. Save
and utalize it. There are numerous
ways in which it can be quickly re-
warmed, and in many of them, when
properly done, it is almost as good as
when first cooked.
Much of the potato served up at
hotels is mere rewarmed potato, and
can be, under fanciful foreign names,
prepared similarly in any private
kitchen very easily, very inexpen-
siVely.
