A POOR FAMILY.
George Howard and Wife Have 81,
Children and Need Help.
Misfortune Mas Visited Them and Food and
Clothing are Needed.

A Journal man in company with Mar
shal Bean visited the humble home of
George Howard and family, Saturday,
which is located on the old Hallowell
road in little gulley, and in place
where nature has furnished high bank
as windbreak. There is not clap
board or shingle on that little house and
from outside appearance you would prob
ably think chat it was summer cottage
of some poor man near the outlet Of Cob
bosseecontee. To suppose it would be a
place Of abode for man with an arm
broken in two places, a wife and six small
children would fill you with pity at the
first glimpse of the shanty and thought
that poor family lived there; but such
is the sad fact.
For the good folk of this city, who have
plenty of money and any sympathy for
poor people, here is most excellent op-
portunity to lend a helping hand to
destitute family. Mr.. Howard and his
brother dealt George blow over the right
arm with pitchfork which broke the
bone in two places and will lay him up
several weeks This will be severe blow
to the family, as nothing has been pro-
vided for a rainy day. This house con-
tains but two rooms and in one the family
sleeps and the cooking and eating is done
in the other. The house is built on a bank
and it is the basement that is occupied,
while over the two rooms where the fam
lily live is rough floor and the ceiling is
of the bare stringers and beams, not any
plaster or fancy paper. The walls are not
frescoed, but strips of boards and rough
paper cover the places of entrance for the
chilling wind. The floor of that little
home is not of fine birch or pine and is
not as evenly laid as a dance hall floor
Toward morning the cold is felt very
severely and even in the daytime Jack
Frost hovers very close to the meagre fire.
The young members of the family have
not an over abundance of clothes, but all
seem healthy and cheerful. MIR. Howar
being unable to work and Mrs Howard
is not feeling well and is busy caring for
the little ones, you will readily see that
poverty is pressing. 1t was by the kind
ness of some of Augustus good folk that
bounteous Thanksgiving dinner was
furnished for the Howard ia mily and the
kindness was appreciated.

REV. c. 4. HAYDEN
Begins His Pastorate With the Augusta
UniversaIist Church, Sunday Morning.

Rev. c. A. Hayden, who has accepted
the call Of the Universalist church of this
city, preached his first sermon, Sunday
as pastor here, and most eloquent one IL
was. The church was quite well filled
and Mr.. Hayden had many earnest, at
tentive listeners His manner of address
Is forcible; every word distinctly pro-
nounced; and he possesses the faculty OF
closely holding the congregations atten.
tion while delivering his sermon. In fact
his abilityas apulpit orator is quite mani
fest, and to hear him is to like him. You
do not have to try to be interested, he in.
terests you by his vivid means of illustra-
tion, clear delivery, and discourse full of
instructiveness.
From Philippians, the third chapter and
18th verse, he took his text, "This one
thing do, forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth unto those
things which are before Mr.. Hayden
said that the future was for the young,
the present for the middle-aged, and the
past for the old. We are sometimes in
clined to dwell too much on the past and
not renew our courage with the opportun-
ity of continued and greater usefulness
The inclination to rest satisfied with our
achievements is one to be overcome, and
not to be allowed development. The per.
son who stops at period in life and says,
II have reached degree of attainment
satisfactory to myself and will continue
no further,'' when before him is spread
opportunity for achievement, fails of a
certain attainment which he might pos
sess. 1t is the man who reaches out for
greater gains who is the most useful in
the world and benefits community. He
who is not satisfied with the present de-
gree of success that he may have accom-
plished, but thirsts for more, is the one
that will make mark in the world and
be identified as beneficial citizen to the
community in which he resides.

ceived read, Manhood and character are

sum you may need and the result of that
mans courage was marked. He erected
on that ashy spot a larger establishment
than the one burned and soon he became
wealthy. -. .e,.l

the past will be forgotten, and we will all

and more useful branch of that faith we

in this city were very earnestly spoken and
received with attention.

gives JOY the idea of self-destructioD
never enters the human mind.
The oppressors, the tyrants, those who
trample on the rights Of others, the rob-
bers of the poor. those who put wages
below the living point, the ministers who
make people insane by preaching the
dogma OF eternal pain, these ale the men
who drive the weak, the suffering, and
the helpless down to death.
It is but few steps at the most from
the cradle to the grave; short Journey.
The suicide hastens, shortens the path,
loses the afternoon, the twilight, the
dusk of life's day; loses what he does
not want, what he cannot bear. In the
tempest of despair, in the blind fury of
madness or in the calm of thought and
choice. the beleaguered soul finds the Sc
renity of death.
Let us leave the dead where nature
leaves them. We know nothing of any
realm that lies beyond the horizon of the
knoYn, beyond the end Of life. Let us
be honest with ourselves and others. Let
US pity the suffering, the despairing, the
men and women hunted and pursued by
grief and shame, by misery and want, by
chance and fate, until their only friend
is death.

against all odds The advertisement

thirty-four hundred dollars had been
paid into the office for stock, and the
ad was still pulling.
