RIGHTEOUS SYMPATHY.

From the Wiikes-Barre NewsDealer.
Sentimental sympathy is it, Mister
Grover Cleveland. that the people of this
country have for Cuba In her struggle
for liberty? "Sentimentar' sympathy it
was too, we dare say, in your opinion,
that France showed this country when
struggling for liberty during the revolu-
tionary war. Well call 1t thus, and snecr
at 1t If you will, but 1t Is given with
a full heart. and no law prohibits the
bestowing 1t to a people who are suffer-
Ing the same oppression that our fore
fathers suffered In 1776. The sympathy
OF liberty loving Frenchmen, and the
recognition given us at that time, were
sweet and precious, and 1t added new
fire and courage to the patriotic souls
who were struggling to break the bonds
that held them TO England. "Sentimen-
tai" sympathy indeed! But the sentiment
tai sympathy together with the aid given,
and the exertions of the early colonists,
made America free and independent as
Cuba yet will be. and would there were
more of the same sympathy. 1t is noble.
It Is generous. and is for the righteous
and holy cause of freedom and liberty.

In Elkland, Pennsylvania, small town
located on the Cowanesque River Railroad,
there lived for some years, prior to 1850. Mr..
Charles H. HEATH, whose profession was
that Of a blacksmith. lie had chosen for his
life companion Miss Genie Boyd and here
settled with his little family to earn living
by the side of his already well.beatcn anvil.
On January Sth, in the year 1882 there was
born unto Mr.. and Mrs. Heath beautiful
baby girl, with health which promised to
add to the home one more joy. For this
daughter the parents chose the name of
Clara b., and, indeed, she was bright star
in that little circle.
A few years later, Mr.. Heath seeing a
better opportunity for earning his livelihood,
removed his family to Harrison Valley, q
town located on the same branch of railroad
near its terminus. Here for u while every.
thing was bright and the future promised to
be one Of comfort to them, but suddenly it
became fully apparent to the father and
mother that the radiant face Of their little
daughter was beginning to fade. This caused
them much anxiety, and physician was
consulted, but little, if anything, was done
to restore the vanishing beauty to their little
one. The father toiled on faithfully to pro.
vide for the dependents, but the sunlight
seemed to be fast fading from their home.
In March, 1892, thinking a change in 10.
cation might add vigor to Clara, they took
up their abode in beautiful little town sit.
uated betteen the mountains, known as
Little Marsh, Pa, and where nature itself
seemed to be physician superior to all
mankind. Here, for time. the change of
air seemed to revive their daughter Clara,
but soon other weaknesses established them
selves in her. body, which promised to take
her from their midst.
Physicians were summoned, but she con-
tinued to grow worse and it was very ev.
dent that only few short days remained for
her OH earth. The mother was distracted
upon realizing the situation Of her loving
daughter and it was while relating her con.
ditiOn to neighbor, Mr. Southworth, in
January, 1885, that she .rned of the won.
dsrfnl results obtained cy the use of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for female weaknesses
Everything else having failed to add one
glimmer of light to the life so fhst fading
away, q fifty.cent box Of Pink Pills was pro.
cured from the druggist, hoping that there
might be something in this new remedy.
Already Clara's complexion had grown 10

ment Of DIR. Williams, and when the first
box was gone there seemed to be change
for the better. Her nerves had grown
stronger and other weaknesses seemed to
mend. ~Where there is life there is hope" "
and another box was purchased and taken
Us prescribed. Clara continued to grow
stronger each day and there seemed to be
new life in the little home again. Father
and mother were both elatcd to see the i'm.
provement and once more have their
daughter join their family circle.

LITERARY GOSSIP.

The Critic gives a new and. 1t seems
likely enough, q true explanation. OF the
dearth OF American authors of the first
class or even Of a good second class" IL
is the great cost Of living. "A man has to
work 80 hard In the United States TO
make both ends meet that he has no time
to do good work. He has either to write
pot boilers or to be In some other business
than that Of an author; whereas living in
the great capitals Of Europe is SO COM
paratively inexpensive that the foreign
author is not obliged to think Of his bread
and butter" The writer goes on to say
that 1t was not always so and that the
most famous group Of American authors
the Cambridge-Concord group lived in
a quiet, countrifed way. as some few liv-
ing writer's still do; but authors can no
more resist the influence of their genera
tion than other people. What were for

saries and the struggle to procure them IL

Goddard, author Of 1.-The Art of Selling"
Cloth, u mo, 81. New York: The Ba-
ker and Taylor Co, 5 & East 18th st.
For sale In Scranton by NJ. Norton.
This Is, essentially textbook or
manual for shrewd business men. 1t
comprises twelve chao aoters, one defin-
ing and distinguishing between credit
and money; one showing the average
losses on credit sales and the liability
to business failures; one arguing at
length, and with much force that the
applicant for credit should be made
to prove that he Is worthy Of 1t; two
showing the, various methods employed
and dangers encountered by established
houses sim reference to the giving OF
credits: a chapter on collections, with
sound advice as to how best to make
them; one on corporations and the la
bility Of stockholders; one on the mer-
camille agency system; one on the new
system popularity known as credit in
surance;" one arguing for q uniform
bankrupt law. and two chapters treat
ing Of panics In general and Of the
panic Of 1893 in particular. The book
IL written In q simple, STRAIGHTFORWARD
style and its arguments and sugges-
tions betoken that the author has had
extended experience and is a man of
sound practical sense. There are few
men in commercial pursuits whom this
book would not in some respects in
