HURRY AND LOOKING BACKWARD.
Two Common Habits That Take the
Sweetness Out of Life.

Two Common Habits That Take the
Sweetness Out of Life.
five were to eliminate the two things,
hurry and looking backward, from our
lives, what different world 1t would bel
Have you ever thought how hurry takes
the sweetness out of life? The task which
would be thoroughly enjoyable were it
pursued with moderation and "sweet
reasonableness" becomes irksoine and Is
robbed of all its delight and inspiration
by our feverlsh haste and impatience
It Is a trite saying, but worthy of all
acceptation, that what Is worth doing at
all is worth doing we'll. But how can we
do anything well when our minds are
projecting themselves beyond the work in
hand to manifold other duties and we are
always thinking that this should be COM
menced, or that finished, or the other in
progressp Why should we "fcel guilty"
as the expression is whom we are doing
any work that ought to be done9 Let us
first settle the particular duty Of partio-
ular time and then give ourselves up to
the full enjoyment and we'll doing Of it.
"All work should give joy in the doing"
says some one, and indeed 1t is so, and
when 1t does Is 1t not one of the strongest
proofs that life Is being rightly livedp
Now as to looking backward. If the
energy and concentration of thought that
are expended on this one thing were put
into the present, what wonders could be
accomplished! But the powers of our
minds are enfeebled, our hopes dimmed,
our energy dissipated and relaxed by our
unavailing regrets over what cannot be
helped and is past, and SO we rob the pres
emit.
Consider the events that have seemed
the direst calalnities Have they not, in
many cases, proved the greatest blessings9
And yet what misgivings they called forth |!
What a dreary vale they made of the
"now!" Do we believe, even while we
say the words, that all things work to-
gether for good to them that love the Lord
for them that are true and Faithful If
so, why longer throw away the joy of the
glorious present, precious heritage from
God for the husks of tho pastP Stern dis
cipline must be ours in this life-else why
indeed are we hereP-but profting by our
mistakes and errors, let lis not brood over
them. Rather let lis grasp the present
and, with faith and hope for the future,
Look forward and not back;
Look upward and not down;
Look outward and not in.

Probably the only public church in the
world is at Cynthiana, in Posey county,
Ind. 1t does not belong to any certain
denomination but is open to all creeds
who desire to hold services there. The
church was built by the Wilkinson fam
lily, one of the pioneer families of that
county.
The church stands about n mile south
of Cynthiana. 1t is neat little building
aud will accommodate about 1000 peo-
pie. The church is looked after by
board of trustees. Near the church is
cemetery, where all the Wilkinsons nre
buried in row. The burial ground is
public, and the farmers living in the
neighborhood see to it that the place is
not neglected. Every spring the farmers
lay aside their work for day and put
the old burial ground in good shape

THEY wArcn AEk EAT.


Ana Thss Decide WAethsr she WIN
Make = 0soA wife.
OF all the strange customs Of foreign
natious those that strife is to be most
peculiar are the marriage customs Of the
Russian peasants. 1t Is the aim OF ev-
cry young peasant to acquire for him
self q wife that win be a suitable aid
both in the field and in the kitchen, and
he leaves the choice to his parents. The
beauty Of the young lady and her taste
Of dress and furniture are little consid-
cred, but instead the dispatch with
which she can perform her daily duties,
and in the following peculiar way her
ability In that line is obtained:
The parents Of the young man decide
that a certain young lady would make
suitable mate for him. They say nothing
about the matter to any one, but on some
evening they will drop around unexpect-
eddy to the prospective brides home and
will stay for supper. During the meal
they will keep close watch on the
young lady. II she eats fast, she will
perform her work speedily: II she goes
neatly and clearly about her plate. she
will perform her work neatly and clean
ly; il she does not talk much, she will
work and not talk and prove faithful
and obedient wife to her husband; ii she
prefers rye bread to white, she will be
satisfied with her lot; IL she does not
gaze and stare at the visitors, she will be
a wife that win not continually pry into
her husbands business, and if she imme-
diately proceeds to clean up the dishes
after the meal she will bring prosperity
to her husband and will be economical
with his money.
Thus the fate of the young couple is
decided Should she prove satisfactory
to the young mans parents by the above
mentioned actions the parents stay after
supper and close the bargain with the
young lady's parents over bottle Of
good vodka.
A most peculiar thing about the mar
riage ceremony is the fact that when the
couple enter the church both groom and
bride make a dash for the platform, on
which is the pulpit. 1t is believed that
the one whose foot touches the platform
first will live the longer and that the
children will take after that one in size,
health and beauty.
The festivities last three days, during
which all friends and relatives celebrate
a holiday. The bride is adorned in
bandana of the brightest hue and with
ribbons of all colors and shades. The
groom has a new fur hat and skin
overcoat tied with belt of brightest red

REPUBLICAN Glasses in the Sun
day Star from the pen Of Fred Eden
Bach, does not speak as kindly of
the appointment Of William Michael
Byrne as it was thought he would
under the circumstances. Still Fred
has not forgotten how Michael pulled
the wires down at the Legislature
last winter and the whole sum and
substance OF it was that Fred and
Michael did not pull the same way.
Then Fred was suddenly called,
from Washington, to leave Dover
Immediately, and attend to his work
as rural mail superintendent, and
he has never forgiven him for it.
He says that Michael never had the
backing of the Republican party,
but that his backing was worked up
in ways familiar to machine politi-
clans. That it was made up OF
postmasters and would-be-post-
masters backed by that perfunctory
backing which the members of the
bar usually give to fellow member
who wants honors and emoluments.
This, we think, is the unkindest
cut of all, coming from Fred. He
should now bury the Ratchet, shake
hands and own that Michael was
too much for him and hope for better
things next time.
