SMILE A LITTLE.

Smile upon the troubled pilgrims
Whom you pass and meet.
Flowers are thorns and smiles are bios
SONS
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder
By q sullen face.
Smile little, smile little,
Brighten up the place.
Smile upon your undone labor.
Not for one who grieves
Ger his task waits wealth or glory.
He who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow
In the passing years,
Smile little, smile little,
Even through your tears.

smile a little, smile a little,

smile little, smile little,
As YOU go along,
Not alone when life is pleasant,
I But when things go wrong.
Care delights to see you frowninG,
Loves to hear you sigh.
Turn smiling face upon her.
Quick the dame will fly.
f,mile little, smile little,
Ali along the road,
Every life must have its burden,
Every heart its load.
WHY sit down in gloom and darkness,
With your grief to sup?
As you bring fate's bitter tonic
Smile across the cup.

says he hates going back. He doesn't
wish to go alone.
Hatherly (struck with sudden COM
punction): say, Lefty, what Q
thoughtless brute I am not to have
given you some tea. Just touch the
bell, will you?
Lefty: No tea, thanks. I really
couldn't drink it. Dick, he feels aw-
full at leaving-everybody-and grand

She's an unmitigated old wretch. Good
thing she was q bit queer to-day, 50

object to my coming here so much
She likes you pretty well, Dick. But

Hatherly; Lefty, just hand me that
hand-mirror, will you? It's on the
table beside you. All, thank you.
Lefty continuing, doggedly and
huskily): So he said he'd come this
evening-for his answer.
Dick, staring fxedly at the refec-
ton of his picture in the hand-mirror,
makes no reply. Lefty waits in breath
less silence.
Haiherly speaking suddenly: Do
come here, Lefty, and say if You like
that, or is it too strong?
Lettie (rising): It is strong and de-
cided, like yourself and all men, Dick.
1t is only We women who are weak and
irresolute. Goodbye. No, don't
come downstairs; I can see myself
out. Goodbye.
Hatherly (relieved) Well, if you
must go, goodbye. Come again
soon, like a good girl, when I have
more time to spare. And don't let the
old lady bully you too much. Ta-ta.

Again, the time Of year has arrived,
when the people Of Forest county will
be offered a treat in the form of county
teachers institute.
The institute will be held at Mafien-
Vile, on the week beginning Monday,
Dec. u.
The revenue for conducting institutes in
this county is very frequently less than
half that apprc priated to the same pur-
pose in many of our neighboring coun-
ties. This fact makes it very decidedly
disadvantagious to keep pace with the
counties around us in the standard which
they have set, and which they maintain,
in this prominently important phase
Of educational advancement.
Notwithstanding this, every effort has
been put forth, and every available en-
ergy utilized to make progress i'm this
line Of educational work and to give the
people even a better entertainment, and
a more instructive institute than that of
last year. In other words to give them
greater returns for the money they ex-
pend for this purpose than they have
been accustomed to receive.
We have secured for our county insti-
tute greater number of instructors, lee
turers and entertainers than that which
was ever employed for a similar purpose
in Forest county; endeavoring, at the
same time, to retain the same high stand.
ard of well qualified talent that marked
our institute of one year ago. "Seeing is
believing" some one has said; and to
see list of the names of our instructors,
lecturers and entertainers will be suffic-
lent evidence to convince the most skep-
tical as TO the superior quality of the tai
ent employed.
Who would venture to predict an un-
successful institute when the work is to
be accomplished by the following per-
sons: Lecturers end entertainers, DR..
w. w. Black, Prof. j. T. Rothrock,
"Ariel Ladies' Sextet," (vocalD, DR.. By

structors, DR.. w. w. Black, DR.. N. G.
Schaffer, Prof, ]. S. Brown, Supt. w. A.
Beer. Prof. C. E. Rugh and DR.. Byron
w. King.
1t will be noticed that we have ar
ranged for five evenings entertainment.
"Course tickets will be sold to teachers
and otners alike for Sl.25. If separate
tickets are purchased for each entertain
ment, the admission Tor Wednesday and
Thursday evenigns will be 35 cents each.
Persons attending the institute will,
during the week, making saving of 20
cents by purchasing course tickets, which
may be had by inquiring of Mr.. NJ. II.
Shick, Marienville, Pa. Teachers will
receive their tickets when they enroll.
The talent has been employed, and
must he paid by the Superintendent re-
gardless as to whether or not the receipts
will be sufficient to cover the expenses,

sible aud at the same time engaged men to
perform the different phases of institute
work. who are able to elevate the educa-
tional status of our little county, and
benefit all who are so fortunate as to be
enabled to embrace this rare opportunity.
Every one who is interested in educa-
tional progress is cordially invited to be
with us. For two reasons we are anx.

The three Forester boys whose ar
rest in Marienvlle for counterftng was
mentioned in our last issue, had hear
luz before U. S. Commissioner Parmlee
at Warren last Wednesday and plead
guilty to having in their possession
and passing counterfeit coin. They will
be taken to Scranton for trial at the next
session of the U. S. court.
On the register of one of the hotels of
this city, opposite the name of teacher
attending the Institute, the place of resi-
dence is given, "Pithole City" Old oil
men gaze at the writing. scratch their
frosty heads, and recall visions ofa hustl-
ing, bustling, bang-up city which stood
where now only one house and a waste of
underbrush greet tho tourists eye.-
Franklin Nei0S,
"A. =. Anderson, Assessor of Howe
twp, was pleasant caller at the REPUB-
LlCAN Office yesterday. He took special
pains to pers onally inspect every tract of
land in his township, and found some
real curiosities in the way of timber still
standing in that once famous timber re-
eion. On one tract he found cherry
tree which he took the trouble to meas
ure accurately. It's circumference is 10
feet and it stands as straight as am arrow
without limb for over 90 feet in height.
II sawed in two at the butt it would meas
ure feet inches,a if bored out would
allow an average sized man to walk
through it without STOPPING. Mr.. Ander-
son says the tree.as it stands is worth a
clean 500. He found many other fine
cherry trees on the tract but this
"monarch of the forest" beat them all.
The tract is owned by Capt. J. NJ. Clapp,
and is located on the south side ofTiones-
Ia creek, near Cooper's station.
The PunXsutawney Spirit had a cali
recently from DR.. SchaefIer, the popular
| State Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton, and has this to record of his visit:
Mr.. Schaeffer is large, fine looking man,
of middle age, in whom geniality, culture
and sound judgment combine to make a
| charming gentleman. He is of course an
/ enthusiast on the subject of education.
He spoke freely of State affairs, and said
| that he personally knew that there had
| been much misrepresentation and eXag-
| geration in regard to the alleged abuses
at Harrisburg. "There is" he said, IAN
| innate disposition in mankind TO kick.
When a man walks along the sidewalk
and secs something that he can send fly
| ing half a block by a vigorous applica-
ton of the toe. he can scarcely resist the
temptation. This physical popularity
also extends to the mental system. Peo-
/ pie are more prone to criticise than to ap-
/ prove-more likely to condemn than to
praise. At the same time, when any
body is likely to be hurt by their kick
ing, they want to be pretty sure that he
/ deserves 10 be hurt before they adminis-
ter the blow. But when they can indulge
/ their humor for pedal dynamics withou
/ hurting any body, they are apt to do it."l
