Finding Fault.

Does it pay to find fault? You
who are the wise keepers of houses,
and the dear keepers of hearts,
does it pay? There are heavy bur
dens to bear all day manifold
cares from the rising to the setting
of the sun blunders made by
those who should have known bet
ter, many thing to annoy; but
don't make cold and cheerless the
home,atmosphere by finding fault.
There is no blight more deadly in
it's tendency, nothing that can
more surely disturb the harmony
of home, nothing that will recoil
more quickly upon yourself, than
this habit of fault-tinding. Not
that errors should go unrebuked,
or mistakes uncorrected; but note
such down in your memory, and
when the work and care and tumult
of the day are all oYer theri call
the little ones and the larger ones
around. you and tell them soberly
but kindly of the wrong-doings,
and see if you are not amply re-
paid for your forbearance by the
smile and the tear. and the little
word of contrition and promise of
amendment. You will be thous-
and times happier when you lie
down to sleep, and a sweet forget
fulness has settled over your little
flock, than you would have been
had the. blue eyes now closed been
filled with bitter tears that over
flowed at unkind censure, or had
the little golden head dropped
under the shadow of your constant
frown. How fair and sweet and
satisfying life might be to us all
if we would forget to fret, and find
fault and complain. Don't save
your words of praise and appre-
citation until it is too late. You
love the little children the dear
little children! And if they do
speak loud, and leave doors open
that should be shut, and disturb
the order of the house, don't find
fault. 1t won't pay.

WHAT TO Teacll BOYS.

A philosopher has said that true
education of boys is to teach them
what they ought to know when
they become men.
1. To be true and to be genuine.
No education is worth anything
that does not include this. Aman
had better not know how to read ~
he had better never learn n letter
in the alphabet, and be true, gem
uine in intention and in action,
rather than be learned i'll all sci
ences and in all languages, and be
at the same time false in heart and
counterfeit in life. Above all
things, teach boys that the truth is
more than riches, more than earth
lyNpower or possessions.
2. To be pure in though, lang
uage and life pure in mind and
body.
8. To be unselfsh. To care for
the feelings and comforts of others.
To be polite, to be just in all deal
ings with others. To be generous,
noble and manly. This will include
genuine reverence for the aged
and for things sacred.
A. To be self-reliant and self
helpful even from childhood. To
be industrious alwaysa and self-sup-
porting at the earliest proper age.
Teach them that all honest work is
honorable, than an idle life of de-
pendence on others is disgraceful.
When boy has learned these
four things, when he has made
these ideas part of his being
however poor or however rich-h he
has learned the most important
things he ought to know when he
becomes man.-Parish Visitor.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

An Old Man Cut In Two at Sisters
Vile.
from Wednesdays Daily.
A terrible accident occurred at
Sistersville on Saturday afternoon,
in which an old man named Rus
sell was instantly killed. We
take the following particulars of
the affair from the Sistersville Oil
Review:
About 3 O'Clock the old gentle
man who lives with his son down
below the city was walking up to
town on the railroad track, and
when about opposite the Carter
Oil Company's shops he met the
shifter in the yards in charge of
Conductor William Page.
The shifter was shunting some
cars in on switch there and the
railroad men did not see Mr.. Rus
sell as they Skicked" car in on
No. 9 switch. When the car was
started the old man was seen to be
in the middle of the track and it
seemed to those who saw him, that
he was going across the track in
an endeavor to get away from the
car.
He was about the middle of the
track when the car caught him
and he was thrown across the frog
of the switch and the car passed
over his body about the. middle,
cutting him almost entirely in
two.
All those who know anything
about the accident say that there
could be no blame attached to the
trainmen, as they we're as cautious
as usual in shifting cars and that
the accident was due to nothing
more or less, than the carelessness
of Mr.. Russell, who was n man of
about 70 years, walking on the
track.

in bloody fight that took place on
the steamer Vesper, Saturday even
ing, between Raccoon Island and
Glenwood. Both were in state
of intoxication and in quarrel
some mood, and the fight was the

field got after his antagonist with
a dangerous-looking knife and

relieving Wallace's veins ola large
quantity of blood, his arms being

Ten years ago Mr.. Theodore
Wilson, of Clifton, Mason county,
married a Miss Carpenter, of Mid
dleport, o. A few days ago, an
old man, miser, died at Colum-
bus, Ind, having $4,000 on his
person. Theodore Wilson went to
Columbus, Ind, and identified the
miser as his father, who deserted
the boy many years ago, or soon
after the boys mother died. The
family then lived at West Colum-
bia, where the miser worked at the
tanners trade in the establishment
of Major Lem Harpold. After the
boy was deserted by his father, his
mother soon sickened and died,
and the lad was left to struggle
along as best he could. Young
Wilson, since his marriage, has
worked in the steel plant at Mid
dleport and Columbus, o. The
miser read law and became bright
star in the profession few years
ago, and John FL. Wilson was
known to some of our readers in
this city. Following are the par

Fnshlon in Calling cards.

The Roman or block letter is
becoming more popular as the
style of engraving for visiting
card plates; while the fashionably
thin card of two-sheet quality is
eminently proper. Cards for both
men and women are considerably
smaller, and the script engraving
is finer in consequence, following
more closely the Engligh style
than the Partisan, which is large
and with hourishes. The block
or Roman letter plate is very Eng
lish, and with those affecting Lon
don styles it finds greater favor
The price more than doubles that
of script engraving. Ladies' use
the block style now on their cards
for teas and receptions, as it adj
mits of the necessary engraving oi
days within smaller space than
the script, and enables a smaller
card being used. May Ladies'
