A TRAMP ON TRAPPING.

The season of the tramp has
come, and soon he will spread over
the land like little toads after
rain in summer. The tramp, be-
ing poor, is always with us. One
tramp goeth and another cometh.
AS a being separate and apart from
the rest OF his fellow men, he l.,
interesting as study, and not as
II companion. The Louisville
Courier Journdl got avery inter
esting study of the PHILOSOPHY of
tramping' from one of the craft.
1t is interesting, it might almost
be said to be philosophical; from
the peripatetic point of view it
certainly is.
The tramp interviewed by the
Conrier-Jourmal says there is a
philosophy of tramping; and then
he proceeds to tell wherein it con-
sists He declared there were
reasons why he chose to live as he
did. Upon reflection he was con-
WINGED that the principal one was
can absolutely unconquerable dis
inclination to work" He said he
was brought up well, but was al
ways remarkable for a lack of en-
ergy and force. The scoffer would
say that he was always remarkable
for laziness, for what, after all, is
la1 ness but lack of energy? This
MIA said he had watched the
efforts of other men, had observed
their success and their failures,
but he had never endeavored to do
anything in his life. Il detest ex-
ert:on," said he. at was born in
me. have not the energy to try
to overcome it. Men have said to
me-, Try to do something; be a
man; exert yourself to action; per-
sis. in trying, and you will over
como laziness and will acquire en-
cry as part Of your character
til y might as we'll stand by the
bedside of sick man and say, BE
well take the pure blood and the
he,.lth and strength that are in my
boly and get up and be strong
ag1in. Are there not mental dis
eas IS as pronounced and as incur
alb ; as physical ones? They have
the energy; have not, and moth
in can ever give it to me. l can
act;tstom myself to anything pas

positive and active thing as work.
Do not think that l have never
tried. Here at this place we must
work for our food and lodging, and
l was put to saving wood. l made
an effort, but was soon discouraged
and, refusing to try any more, [
was told that [ must leave If |
would not work. 1t is not that [
would net, but / cannot. So [ am
going to leave in a few minutes"
All that is but Introductory to his
real system of philosophy. Here is
the system as he epitomized it:
l have no desire to be otherwise
than I am. Consequently l am
nearer to contentment than many
men of better fortunes, who are tor
mented with hope and fear, and are
always concerned with dissatisfac-
ton with their present, and appre
hension of their future affairs. Ex-
element wears men out, as motion
does machinery; merton rusts them
as it does steel and iron, but l have
gentle motion of mind and body
SO that l neither rust nor wear out
l am without responsibility, or care,
or trouble; nothing that may hap
pen, or that anybody can do, can
disturb my serenity. l do not care
if it rains, for / do not mind being
wet; the weather does not concern
me, for in the winter l am in the
South; clothes enough are given me,
l get enough to eat and smoke; l
believe nothing, I hope nothing,
expect nothing. In short, am as
contented as human being may be,
and call myself philosopher. /
have more right to that title than
men who torment themselves with
speculatlons about infnity, and the
soul of man, and a thousand other
things which are of no consequence
in this world. I live what I>preach,
and that is, Nothing. From my po-
sition of peace and contentment 1
can look with pity upon men who
struggle only to fail at last, whose
desires are never realized, who hope
and are ever disappointed, who ex.
peCt much and receive little, and
who finally lay down their weari-
some burdens and are glad to die.
Happy am l to escape these things,
and to live or to die, with an equal
indifference and Contentment.
All that has the true philosophic
twang, for what is philosophy but
contemplation and reflection?
Where action beg ms, there philos-
ophy ceases. This man, this tramp,
this Weary Waggles of the Way
side, says he has found content
ment. Can the world give man
more than that? Has not the task
of the philosophers, from Thales
to Hartmann, been to find the way
to perfect contentment? Content
ment is peace, and peace is the
longing Of each human soul. Peace
is the New Jerusalem Of the
Christian, the Nirvana Of the
Buddhist This tramp calls him
self philosopher. And does he
not justly call himself one?
This tramp has told us of his
thought but not of his action. He
says he was born without energy.
But he signally fails to complete
his acconnt of himself when he
neglects to state how it is that he
gets energy enough to tramp from
one town to another, for he cannot
always Init the brake. It may be
that the tramping occurs during
temporary alteration of mind,

ARCHIBALD.

The picnic which was held on Monday
under the auspices of the Archibald Hose
company, No. l, at Moyle's field, was a
financial success, and although the
weather was unfaVorable n large crowd
was present and a very enjoyable time
was had.
During the past week Constables
Dougher, Myers and NIcHale were kept
quite busy shooting all the unmuzzled
dogs running at large throughout the
borough.
The following from out of town at
tended the picnic of the Hose company
Monday evening: Miss b. Kearney,
Peckville; Miss Tesse McHale, Dun
more; Messrs. Thomas Rogan, Dave
Jones, Peter O'Malley, Thomas Padden
and Frank Mclaughlin, Olyphant.
The many friends of John j. Flynn will
be disappointed because of the failure
of the Democratic convention at Scran-
ton yesterday to nominate him for the
Office OF jury commissioner, which he
sought Mr. Flynn was an earnest and
ardent worker in the Democratic fold,
ana was the only candidate put forward
by this borough for "a county office. II
Is unfortunate that the faithful of that
party here are invariably forgotten when
they seek favors. Surely a borough of
this size that has heretofore been such
a stronghold Of Democracy Is worthy of
better treatment 1t Is doubtful, how
ever, II they will tolerate this much
longer, and the defeat of Mr.. Flynn NAV
mean big decrease in the Democrats
vote this fall.
