With such view of life cannot we re-
cognize its value and grandeur, even in
obscurity. One more thought, too great
for this pen to worthily treat, and these
rambling thoughts close. No two of us
travel exactly the same road from the
cradle to the grave; no two of us come in
contact with just the same people; no two
Of us influence just the same groupe; no
one of us can retrace our steps and take
up again combination of forces that we
have neglected. Like the worker in plas-
ter of Paris, our work, good or bad, solid
ifes as it leaves our hand. What we each
neglect may remain neglected forever, for
no one will have just the opportunities We
have had, nor travel over our road, step
by step.

Some Rambling Thoughts.
For the Democratic Advocate.
BY MEMO.

If we go out under the skies at night
and gaze up to the heavens and reflect
upon the huge bodies that there are NOV
ing with resistless force, and yet rhyth-
mieal order, through space, bodies on
which our own round earth would scarcely
be more than blotch; if then we reflect
further that this earth is so vastly greater
than we. that we are no more to the whole
than grain of sand is to the output of a
quarry, we shrink within ourselves and
recognize our puny insigni6cance. A good
dose of this severe medicine takes the
boastfulness and growing out of most of us
and we can spare them, for if ever there
were rooster with throat of brass and
"a larynx of platinum, he could hardly keep
up with our self lf-satisfed noise and clatter.
This kind of be-littlement is wholesome as
"a corrective, but no one lives and thriyes
on quinine, nor can we live and thrive
morally if we are in constant state of
shrink -your-shell- -and-curl- feeling.
@ No! followers of trembling pen
This universe may be infinitely great; the
Infinitely Great made it. 1t is also inf
nitely small in its details; the Infinitely
Microscopic Almighty made it. The de-
tail of an oyster is as wonderful in it's
adaptability, its evidences of foresight, its
completeness as is the detail of the plane
tary system. Nothing is wasted around
you, nothing too small for attention
Then just as necessary as food is to us, SC
necessary may we be to the whole body
polite Your physician can demonstrate
to you the effect upon the system of youl
various foods, some going to feed the
brain, other to strengthen the bones, othel
to make the finger nails, other to lengther
the hair, and other to weaken and degen
crate the body, just SO positively can th'
philosopher tell if the civilization Of today
is being strengthened or weakened by you
existence; whether it were better that yOu
had never been born, or whether the Ion
ger your life is prolonged the better fol
your living in the world that you tread al
moral monarch No food can be en-
tirely without influence On the body tha
aI,sorbs it; no individual can be nal in hi
influence.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1896-02-01

So it is worth while to repeat ''no in
dividual can be Nil in his influence. -
Whether we wish it or not, we are WELD
ing an influence on those about us, mold
ing for good work or perverting towards
evil. Young man, tell smutty story to
an innocent boy, and you may blight a
life by the subsequent accumulations upon
the one evil thought you implanted; re-
strain wandering youth, and you may
set in motion power to reform a town or
revive nation. Here's point for us
who are doomed to lives of obseurity
We shall, most of us, in all probability, die
unknown to the world, but by constantly
setting in motion the forces of good in
those we jostle in the ways of life, we may
have our essential share in great deeds,
vast accomplishments, and moral victories,
just as the insignificant insect was essen
tial to the final outcome of the Pacific is
land
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1896-02-01

Let us think no more of ourselves than
we ought to think; but, for Heaven sake,
don let us think nothing of ourselves.
Stop crying to your heart that You are
nobody and be somebody. Nobody is
everybody but everybody may be some
body, filling some niche, carrying on some
work, justifying the care and wisdom that
framed us and the Almighty Intelligence
of whom we are part. Naturally we
cannot all do the same thing. Old Paul
knew that. The toe cannot fix collar
button, the heel cannot hold book; some
of us are the down trodden, the heels and
toes of civilization, yet we are as essential
to the whole as steam is to an engine.

Let us then stop star-ga2ing and she'll

News of the Festival.

The floral parade of the Fail Festi-
val is to be an unqualified success.
At their meeting yesterday after
noon the ladies of the floral day com
mittee decided that they would offer a
few small prizes for the best decorated
vehicles in addition to the prize offered
by Major Hudson some time ago.
There was considerable discussion on
the subject and at one time Mrs. Will
marth moved that the matter be laid
over for week.
Mrs. Cater: I am in favor of dispos-
ing of this matter now. 1t is high time
these prizes were offered if they are to
be offered at all.
Mrs Klussman: think so too. They
should be published now.
Mrs. Hanley: 1t is getting very near
the time for these things to be ready
and if we can give any more impetus
to the contest by offering prizes we
should do it right away.
Mrs Galbreath was of the same
opinion and the proposition was car
rfed unanimously.
The prizes agreed upon by the spe-
cial committee appointed for that pur-
pose now stall:
First prize. $50, by Major Hudson,
for the best decorated single rig driv-
en- by a lady.
Second prize. SIS, for the best deco
rated double rig driven by either lady
or gentleman.
Third prize, IS for the best decorated
pony vehicle driven by a boy or girl
under Is years of age
Fourth prize, IS for the best decorat-
ed equestrian.
Fifth prize, IS for the best decorated
bicycle.
1t was further decided by the same
vote that the judges in the contest
shall be all out of town people so that
no partiality to friends may be shown
and also that each of the contestants
in each class be numbered to aid the
Judges
