We are glad to welcome our young
friend, s. Caliette. back again to his
native county. He seems to have
plenty Of business at Glengary.

having plenty Of cuttings.

Of Christianity springing up in this

IL is said money is the root of all
evil The time is here that money
rules the minds of men. 1t causes men
to drag their souls to perdition, and
not only men but women are also let
ting the venomous serpent draw their
hearts into eternity, with a stronger
grasp, than they have on Christ. Peo-
pie are willing to sacrifice self more
for money than any other article.
Some of us are willing to make our
homes unhappy by it, willing to muir
der, steal, do anything low or degrad-
ing. | know men and women who
are making themselves miserable here
on earth, and preparing their souls for
eternal destruction Let us think
when weare taking advantage of some
one in private way, that some day
the hearts of all men will be revealed.
Then ! am afraid that some of us, who
have had our hearts where the treasure
is, will pray for the rocks and hills
to fall on us, from the effects OF the
root Of all evil. hope some will re-
fleet over these broken remarks, and
guard against this terrible tempta-
ton.

Some of the electric lights have
been removed from the B. & O. ma
chine shops and hotel here, and the

ed with in order to reduce expenses.
The appropriation of money for run
ring the shops this month is the same
as last month. AS spring approaches
we had hoped to see more work, lar
ger appropriations, better times in
! every respect, but the outlook is I'M
changed and we have concluded to be
governed by remark we overheard
/ recently: BLESSED is he who does not
expect much under the Democratic ad-
1ninistration, for he will not be disap-
pointed" although the hunting of
ducks appeared to be success with
our chief Executive if the other man
agement is failure.

ton of a great many people. Quite a

Recently some boys were arrested
for damaging railroad property There
does not appear to be anything in
some people but vice in all its forms.
How it must make the parents heart
ache to see the hayward child going
down to ruin. Though no condition
of human life is free from uneasiness,
yet it must be allowed that the I'M
easiness belonging to sinful course,
is far greater than what attends a
course of well doing. If we are weary
OF the labors OF virtue, we may be as
sured that the world, whence we try
the exchange, will lay upon us much
heavier load; it is the outside only of
licentious life which is gay and
smiling, within it conceals tolls and
deadly sorrow, for vice poisons hui
man happiness in the spring, by in
Producing disorder in the heart of those
passions which it seems to indulge; it
only feeds with imperfect gratifica-
tons, and thereby strengthens them
for preying III the end, on their I'M
happy victims. 1t is said that virtu-
Gus youth gradually brings forward
accomplished and flourishing man
hood. By whatever means you may
at first attract attention, you can hold
the esteem and secure the heart of
others, only by amiable dispositions
and the accomplishments of the mind.
These are the qualities whose infu-
ence will last, when the luster of all
that once sparkled and dazzled has
passed away. DETECTIVE.

The missionary anniversary Of the
First NJ. E Sunday school, Sunday af-
ternoon, was quite a success The
school was we'll represented and there
was a fair audience. The exer-
cises consisted of singing by the
school, Rotations, select reading, and
brief address by the superintendent.
The most interest centered in the fin
ancial report, which disclosed the fact
that the school had contributed about
$500 to the missionary cause during
the past year, which, considering the
hard times, certainly shows that each
and every member of the school has
been diligent worker.

A Faithful Worker.

How often does God work by very
small means. How often does he
work by those whose attainments are
very meager. and whose education is
not of the first water, even by those
who have never been inside of the
walls of college.
Men of this class are often designat-
ed as selfinade men. OF this class OF
men, have in my minds eye, one
that was born and reared in our midst
and who to-day is a member of the
Baltimore Conference, M. E. Church,
and is preaching the unsearchable
riches of Christ. l have reference to
Rev. E. c. Gallaher, son of our towns
man, Mr. ]. s. Gallaher.
His first attempt at preaching was
at Hancock, Md, in the fall of 1880.
In March 1890 he was stationed at
Old Town Circuit, Allegheny Coun-
ty, Md, remaining there two years,
doing good service for his Master.
March, 1892, he filled the pulpit of
Washington Square Church. Hagers-
town, Md. In March, 1898, the con-
| ference transferred him toanother dis
trict, his appointment being in West
Falls circuit, Carroll County, Md,
where he still remains. God has sig
nally blessed the labors of this young
man, but this years labor has been
more abundantly blessed than the
previous years of his ministry; over
90 souls have been converted on West
Falls circuit. the great majority of
them have attached themselves on the
church, and the good work still goes
on
While on Old Town circuit, he mar
ried young Christian lady of Han
cock, Md, and thus he has a help
meet, indeed, in pursuing, what he
told the writer was his life work. He
is not yet in full connection with the
conference, but at each examination
has acquitted himself with credit, and
in the glorious cause which he has es-
poused.
The Lord give us more such young
men to GO work in their Masters vine

Tie people u Winchester Hagers-
town. chambersburg, and other adj
Joining towns were not disappointed
when they came to Martinsburg Mon
day, to listen, enraptured. to John
Philip Sousas inimitably trained
corps of musicians. II is certainly no
sxaggeration to say that the audience
heard the best concert OF The kind that
Martinsburg and vicinity remembers.
The first number was Rossini' S
Overture to Serniranide' with its
weird flashes Of overwhelming har-
mony. heightened by snatches Of ex-
quisite melody that crept softly in be-
tween. Scenes at Masquerade is
new but will no doubt soon take its
place nthe already long list of popular
melodies. Onecan almost see the grand
march of the maskers, then the Pom
chiello Family" dance lightly on and
float airily through the steps Of the
ballet, Columbine fits through the
hall, the Tevelry begins, laughter and
voices drown the music and the mask
is over.
"Sheridan's Ride is as popular as
ever and ELECTED much applause. Miss
Inez Mecusker sang My own, My
Geraldine set to a composition OF
Sousa's. Miss Mecusker not only has
a strong, well modulated voice but
great dramatic ability, as was shown
when she gave as an encore delight
full rendition of "Where Are You Going
My Pretty Maid" Every piece re-
ceived one or more encores and it is
safe to say that there is not mill
tary organization in the country that
can play with such finish, such ex-
quisite delicacy, and such lovely tone
contrasts. Sousa's Band is without
an equal, as its leader is without
peer.

MARCH.

Innocent and playful,
Calm her beauteous face;
Hidden half in folds of snow,
Witchery, and grace.
Smiles she, glancing archly,
How you long to press,
On her tempting, parted lips,
Your passionate caress!
All, withdraw advances
Little does she care,
What you think-how you love
Or if you call her fair.
Though white-robed angel
Seems she to you now,
False to every friendship,
Breaks she every vow.
Stormy, changeful, cruel,
Sowing tare and thorn,
Full of trick and treach'ry.
You'll soon feel her scorn.
Yield you to her subtle art,
Oh, | pray you, never!
Else, too late, like me you II cry
I'm undone forever.
