@sPSnsSAns DsAcksmstns. etc get <1f
nsient work to keep their trades frnu
deteriorating. So far as we knox nc
Journeymen mechanics pass this way
Samuel L. Raleigh. James A. Courtney
and Louis Courtney. Esqrs are the prin.
cipai carpenters. and they do their work
not looking only to the number OF dol.
lara II ID possible TO extract for the same,
Recognizing the Importance Of early
rising 70 catch the "early worm" we are
pleased 10 state that merchants do NOT
let Sol catch them mapping; on the con.
trary. floors are sprinkled and neatly
swept, goods busted and adjusted. ID
does not require pages 10 tell of their
progress.
No sickness Z" report-no one poison
ed with the enervating malaria OF stag
nant ponds, etc.
We notice that some OF tn. young men
OF the district who work on farms have
q fixed and infexible will 70 succeed.
They have an innate self-respect and !
consciousness that they are worthy of
respect. This, forsooth, keeps them from
vices. which are the sequence OF time
idled away. In these days Of progress
there Ii much TO excite ambition for ed
ucation. A thirst for knowledge an
pears TO be innate in number of bows
and girls, and their studies are their
chief pleasure. The three Rs-"read-
in writin' and cipherin' fails to satisfy
them as they believe that they were born
for higher attainments.
II is net exaggeration to say that the
singing in churches 10 excellent. Query.
Isn't beautiful trained voice one of the
highest products of civilization? The
spur of intelligent criticism isau auxil-
airy to the possessor. Aye, It Is q stimu-
liant TO him or her even IL the singer does
not always sing to critical audiences.
Politicians are working hard and we
observe that Napoleon's well. known
saying, "In war men are nothing, a man
Is everything" doesn't have significance
In politics. In Russia man 10 exiled
because he dares to think and say what
he thinks about the working of the gov
eminent. Here in the United States Q
man may be ostracized for asting his
thoughts-for showing his manhood and
upholding his personal honor-for being
q man and not brute. We are not in
love with the 'one man idea Our con-
scientious consciousness forbads it. The
dominant idea of q nihilist IL one idea
to carry dynamite in his pocket to use it
for purposes of vengeance-murder.
The deceitful man has one idea, the idea
to deceive II possible. He holds out his |
hands towards his neighbor and inquiries |
after his health, smiling all the time
with radiant pleasure, for his intention |
ITO deceive in some way-his soul |
dwells deeply within this one idea. The |
squalid vagabond and accomplice of !
thieves comes under the category. The |
idea to be low reigns with the low. born |
delirium in his brain.

10 visiting friends of the'distfict.:
The thick, NOTED sunbeam lay
Athwart the floor. and the day
was slOping toward his western bower,
when We arose. walked to the window
and looked towards the beautiful Chesa-
peake, what sight, large steamers, tug
boats towing heavily loaded barges,
schooners, sloops, bugeyes, canoes ply
ing up and down the same. 1t was a
scene to Us not to be soon forgotten
aye, IL 10 photographed on our memory,
In truth, never to fade. This picture
Of the past viii often come to MS and
make life comparatively pleasant for the
while, particularly whenever the place OF
Dur residence becomes our St. Helena.
1t appears that few of the citizens of
he district have an inherited passion to
kill game. Alas there is very little
game nowadays. The ringing reports
of rifles and shot guns are infrequently
heard. Wild turkeys, four-pronged
bucks and patridges innumerable are
'hings of the past. Incredulous as ii
nay seem to the readers of the BEACON,
will say that squirrels fat as butter or
poor as q church mouse are seldom
'een-no longer knocked whirling from
he branches and tops of oaks and pines.
Mr.. Philip Herman has commenced
he mercantile business at ]. n. Her
mans old stand. Cheap for cash and it
8 sale that he is causing panic among
merchants. -
What q fall in the. price Of coal oil
Panics in Wall street are said to have
depended to large, extent on the Pc
roleum interest.
The perishable fragility Of wood ia
liscerned. There il no stability in the
best constructed edifices and we notice
hat some are in MISREPRESENTATION.
Really there must come time to every
wooden structure, as to every s.one-hoss
hay" and the like, when its natural
INIT is reached. We suppose in the
condition named il is cheaper to let IL
umhle to the ground-go to pieces
han 70 repair 10.
Goodbye. i am OF TO the city, We
suppose the hope of lettering ones for
unes actuates number of persons to
20 TO Baltimore, Washington and Alex
sndria- It seems TO MS that IL In unwise
% leave farms and 90 to- cities without
having any particular trade-vocation.
The rushing life Of the same no doubt
and satisfies them and. too.
lnwise advisers have . finger in the Die.
When the blind lead the blind, 10th are
likely 20 come to grief.
