An Appreciated Poem.

A recent issue of Puck contains a
pathetic story which our POLITICALLY in
clined friends will certainly appreciate.
1t touched our feelings in manner
somewhat between the sensation of an
icicle running down our spinal col
umn and that experienced when one
grasps red-hot poker. We give the
story minus the illustrations and have
no doubt it will be read with interest.

The Editor (writing)-Mr. T. Emer-

Another reminder of how closely
mans last enemy follows our foot
steps. Even amidst our social festivi-
ties and joys, death turks to rob us of
our pleasure, and cast darkness and
grief over our hearts. Only last week
Mrs. Frank w. Vanhorn visited her
parents to join the family circle in the
celebration of the holiday festivities,
but, alas! death entered and took
from their midst her beloved father,
thereby casting nightly pail of grief
over their hitherto joyous hearts.
Truly in life we are in death The
smitten family have the sympathy Of
their many friends.

Promise less and do more Be truth
full, sociable, charitable, and gentle
manly, it costs less than the reverse

A censorious disposition casts every

Time once past never returns; the mo-

A nice, quiet wedding took place at
the home of the groom, corner of
Race and College streets. on Christ
mas at s O'Clock p. III. The contract

Collier, and Miss Annie Zimmerman,
both of this city. The bride and
groom were beautifully attired for the
occasion, Rev. Charles S. Trump
performing the ceremony. 1t was our
privilege to be present on this occa-
sion, and it brought to mind very
wildly the days of yore. We almost
regretted that we were grown old and |
could only sit back and look on at the
enjoyment of those much younger in

ures of Mr.. and Mrs. Collier will |
never grow less, and that their prog

without ripple, and their troubles, if
any, will be composed only of Hfle
ones, A bountiful supply of refresh

were beautiful and costly.
Some very singular things occur as

The most amusing incident we have
heard of is that of a bachelor railroad
conductor in Martinsburg, who was
presented with a cup on Christmas
day, on which was printed ITO our
Father" He has searched the family ,
record from one end to the other to :
learn if he was born father, and has
looked all through the city directory,
but nowhere can he find that he is

a fearful blunder; that either he has
gotten the wrong cup, or the cup has
gotten the wrong man.
