HELP FOR THE STRICKEN
In Aid or the Victims of the Terrible
Hurricane at Porto Rico.

Hurricane at Porto Rico.
A stirring appeal has been made
to the people at large by the U. S.
Secretary of War for contributions,
prompt and generous, in aid of the
thousands of sufferers left home
less and in starvation by the recent
disasterous hurricane which swept
over Porto Rico. Accurate reports
state that several thousand human
lives were lost, hundreds of thous-
ands of once happy homes were de-
stroyed, crops were everywhere ut
terly ruined and many thousands Of
human beings are literally starving
for want o. Good. Hungry, home
less, with scarcely any clothing left
TO cover their nakedness, the unfor-
tunate survivors are, we learn by
telegraphic advices, threatened with
the additional horrors of the plague.
Crowds OF women, old men and
helpless little ones are encountered
on every hand piteously begging for
food and shelter.
Over ninety per cent. ofthc houses
have been demolished and in many
places the furious onset OF the sea
has swept away almost every vestige
OF fourishing little towns and vii
lagos. From Adjuntas, Guayamas,
Zabucoa, Mayaguez, Maunabo, Ar
roya and other localities the loss of
life has been appalling and the cries
for help are pitiful and heart-rend-
ing. In one district alone, Utuado,
over two thousand persons perished,
and as in other southern towns, those
who have escaped with their lives
are in want.
Major Samuel H. Ashbridge ard
the Citizens Permanent Relief Com
mittee of Philadelphia, have organ
lied a Citizens Porto Rico Relief
Fund, and our readers are asked to
contribute to it and to send their
contributions either to Hon. Samuel
II. Ashbrldge, Mayor of Philadel-
phia, or the Messrs. Drexcl q Co.,

hearted men, women and children OF
Pennsylvania who have never failed
to respond, heartily and literally to
the appeal of the distressed.
All contributions of money, how
ever small, will be gladly received

A Deserted Furnace
Pennsylvania Furnace, Centre CO..

CPennsyirania Furnace, Centre co.,
AS l view the furnace from the
hill where ! am seated to write this
account, nothing becomes more real
than the vivid pictures presented, by
Oliver Goldsmith, in "The Deserted
Village" Let my reader first me-
ditate upon this beautiful poem I'M
til every trait and character in it is
clearly seen and there will be noneed
OF reading further. How imagina-
ton does appearto make things real
and how often urimagination carries
us off to fields unknown, unseen.
Still it is tar better to see things as
they are then to be lost in imagining
more than would be possible to
be true.
One who has passed through this
village will never forget The sorrow
fnl appearance of its buildings and
the negligent and careless habits of
the few remlining inhabitants, who
lurk indolently through the vii
lage seemingly to bemoan their i'll
tated loss. Most of the houses are
constructed Of logs-sma!l, usually
one story and of Il rough outside ap-
pearance. There can be no doubt
that at one time they were the hum
be homes OF many a happy family.
But why all this change? Many are
still standing but unoccupicd, others
partly fallen together, roofs fallen in,
windows and doors taken ont or
broken in pieces. Some lew are en-
tire ruins almost hidden by vines,
grass and underbrush. The greatest
ruin is the old furnace-a large
structure which you cannot help but
see as you pass by. The frame, part
ofthe root, and some Of the floor is
all that remains. All THERON works
have been removed, and time alone
seems to he waiting for it to sink in
ruin and obscurity.
This village pennsylvania Fur
nacc) which is partly in Centre and
partly in Huntington counties, was
for years the scene of great industri-
al activity. A large ore mine was
discovered and in short time much
of the village was built by the labor
ing people, who hurried here for
employment. One mile northeast
of the furnace is the mine, which is
as large as an ordinary farm. BY
the appearance of the mine which
at some places is from fifty to sixty
feet deep, you can only form faint
idea of the number ofmen employed.
Standing on some of these banks of
earth it would appear like a dream
that this work should have been done
by human hands.
Words cannot express the SEEM
ingly distressed condition of this
place. AS you wander away from
it imagination and reality becomes
confused and as dream it seems to
drift away into forgetfulness.
From this height sit and ponder,
or these works and forms, and wonder
How human hands could muster time
To dig this large and wondrous mine.
Time alone has but efHaced;
But memory has not erased
Thy fancied scenes here behold
Shall never In my heart grow cold.
one glance to village in the dale.
Ispent this time TO tell thy tale;
II on this earth we should not meet.
o may we all the last day greet.
