Hon. j. G. l.. Shindel was born
at Sunbury on September H.; 1878
and died at ,Selinsgroye, Sunday
night, January "a, 1893. In kis
youth he was under the care and iH-
truction Of pious and ipdustrious
parents, who had much b do II
moulding his atter,lifs Of useful
ness His advantages Of gaining
sn education were limited. in tho
|pld log sehspl-bo At Spnbury
and is his 6ahsSs study he acquir-
ID kpowjs sla4 syficient To ft him
for the astive duties Of life. y One
of his teachers was George A. Sny-
der, an educated man, and a son of
Governor Simon Snyder. At the
age of fifteen he entered the store Of
George Lebrick al Sunbiiry, per-
forming such services as one of his
age WIS able. He afterwards ell
tered the store of Benjamin Hen
bricks as clerk. In 1886 he came
to Selinsgrove and was employed
in the general store of Sterrett &
5chnure. He atterward. clerked
for Messrs, Eyer and Schnure.
From 1889 to 1916 we find him
employed by the firm of j. & VIM.
F. Wagenseller. With this ex-
perience gained in clerking, and
with the hard-earned means which
he had carefully saved, in 1916,
after leaving the Wagenseller firm,
he established his own store on the
west side of Market Street, the third
lot above the northwest csrner of
Market and Chestnut streets. There
he continued tor ten years, when he
entered into partnership with DIR.
p. r. Wagenseller and bought the
drug, book and stationery-store Of
Isaac Gtarhart. This firm continu-
ed to do business at the southwest
corner of Market Square until 1872,
when, having had their store de-
stroyed by fire, they dissolved, Mr..
Shinded establishing a drug, book
and stationery-store in the same
room where twenty-six years before,
he had first embarked in trade.
Here again he was called to endure
the trials of adversely. Scarcely
had two years ella psed when the fire
again enveloped his earthly posses
sions, and what on the morning of
October 80, 1874, was a cheerful,
well-stocked store and a prosperous
trade, in the evening was Il heap of
smou1dcring ruins and shattered
hopes. But nothing daunted, he re-
sumed business on smaller scale
in small room on the south side of
Pine street, few doors west of
Water street, and in the following
year erected on the site of his ruins
the present fine brick dwelling and
store, where le continued to reside
and conducted business up to the
time of his death.
On the 18th of January, 1912,
Mr.. Shindel was joined in wcdlock
to Miss Abigail Hathaway, of Sc
linsgrove. OF this union the fol.
lowing were their issue: Isaac H.,
died in infancy. X. Hathaway,
born September 20, 1850; married.

Mrs. Sophia Long.

AT New Berlin, Jan. 18th, 1898
Mrs. Sophia, wife of George Long,
aged II years, 5 mos. and "a days.
Sister Long was faithful and con-
sistent member of the Lutheran
church from early childhood until
death. She was fully prepared to
enter into that rest, that remains for
the people ofGod. Her faith divine,
for she believed in God, whose she
was and whom she served. 1t was
also Christian, for she believed in
Jesus, her savior.
Her funeral took place at her
late residence on Tuesday at p. N.
and was largely attended by sympa-
thizing friends. Bro. Long and
family hereby wish to thank their
neighbors and friends for their SYM
pathy and help during the sickness

EVIL LITERATURE.

Innumerable are the evil influences
surrounding the youth of today. With
few exceptions, however, no influence
Yields greater power over young peo-
pies lives and character than the books
they read.
Our age is reading age, and most
young people read something. But
many of them, probably, read mainly
such literature as is least useful and in
structive, and even such as is grossly
vile and indecent. Books stand for in
tellect. Their source and their method
are in the intellect But unfortunately
a large number emanate from intellects
stepped in unbelief, sin, and immoral
ity. Many of them owe their very

birth to the authors hostility to all
that is good, enobling, and elevating.
A flood of such books is constantly
flowing over our land, a calamity, more
deadly in its effects than war or pesti-
lence. Such books embody destruc-
tive, terrible poison, which their read
ers are made to absorb. Books thus
innoculated with evil, poisoned with
falsity and deceit, necessarily deprave
the minds and the hearts of their read
erS.
Young persons who habitually read
books and papers which arouse the
passions, corrupt the imagination, and
weaken the moral sense, will not long
have clean life. Tales of passion, adj
venture, laWlessness and crime, will
soon corrupt the mind and poison the
soul.
Scarcely any thing is more to be
dreaded than vile literature. The first
vile book or story which young man
reads often proves the beginning of
life of degradation and crime.
No influence to which the youth OF
this country are exposed is more per-
nicious than the slime and filth spread
broadcast by such publications. They
are full Of the meanest suggestions;
they fan into flame the latent fires Of
passion and lust; they tempt to bad
associations that may in time lead to
RIGHTEOUSNESS and crime.
The young man who reads such liter
AZURE hurls himself into moral chaos
and darkness. He reads a vile book,
or probably looks at a lewd picture;
it intrenches itself in his imagination,
where it multiplies itself, fOstered by
the fancy, and soon these nobleSt fac
ulties will be turned into agents of per-
dition.
1t is a discouraging fact to notice
that the percentage of books written to
counterfeit the effect of such vile liter
allure is so small that it barely figures
as a factor in the present enormous
output of books. Books that sell are
the books demanded by the bookseller.
And books in which human fraility
and sin are set forth in their most
favorable light and pictured almost as
virtues, in which sentiment is morbid,
in which evil is clothed in immaculate
garments of innocence and purity
these are the books that sell. Surely,
we should cry out against such litera
ture that today seeks an entrance to
the heart and mind of our youth.
Surely such instruments Of filth and
corruption should be banished from
every home-Sextus, in Gustavus
Adolphus Journal.

the cafe of Boston hotel one of the
students became infatuated with d
gorgeous white waistcoat which was
worn by one of the cOlOred walters.
He called the colored man and said to
him: 81 want to buy that waistcoat!'
"What you want of that west, boss ~
said the man. 81 just want to buy 1t.
What will you take for it, After a
good deal of guffawing and some hest
tation the colored man allowed that he
would take 80 for it. Ozone" said the
Harvard man, and he pulled out 50
bill and gave it to the negro, who
began to pull off the waistcoat. "Oh,
you needn't do that" said the student.

on his own table when the student
called to him: "Come herew "What

the negro up close, dipped his own
fingers into plate of cranberry sauce
that he had and with them proceeded
to mark big "H" exactly on the mid
die of the front of the white waistcoat

Our den has two StairWays leading
up to it. One of these is inside the cell
house and at its various landings are
iron crossbeams placed in such con-
venient manner that it is just possible
for man of the stature of one of the
musical members of THE MIRRORS
force printers to bump his head
against them in passing.
Thus it happened once not long since,
that he came into the office with one
hand on top of his head, and a rueful
look on his face. He had, however,
made discovery, as the following re-
mark will show:
"Say, do you know that those two
cross beams you pass on the stairs, are
tuned to a different pitch. One is B
flat and the other is F sharp?"
This shows the advantage of mus
ical education.
A steeplejack who was engaged in
repairing a tall chimney at some works
in Devon slipped and fell distance of
some thirty feet, says Pearson's Week
ly. Fortunately, he alighted on some
sand, and, though stunned and badly
shaken, no bones were broken. After
water had been dashed on his face he
recovered consciousness.
The manager, who stood by, having
been summoned to the scene, put a
glass of water to his lips, saying:
"Here, Bill, drink this, and you'll
feel better"
The injured man raised his head
feebly and, gazing first at the glass and
then at the high scaffolding from
which he had fallen, remarked in a
weak voice:
"What l should like to know is, how
far a man have got to fall in these
blessed works afore they gives him
brandy?"
