prisoner sentenced to the penitentary at
this term OF Circuit Court, was taken TO
Moundsville Tuesday night on tram No 7
in charge OF Deputy Sheriffs Hardy and
Catrow. Deputy Sheriff Tabler accom-
panied them as far as Cumberland and will
probably so all the way to Moundsvlle.
Harden got wind OF his departure in
some way yesterday at noon and when he
did he at once began to suk and grow
weak in the knees. For the second time
during his incarceration he broke down
and wept. Tears rolled down his cheeks ali
afternoon HIS ia her, mother and broth
er visited him during the day and saw
him probably for the last time in his life,
unless they visit him behind the bars at
the penitentiary.
The prisoner and his guards arrived at
the station fifteen minutes before the train
arrived. Immediately crowds began to
collect around the station and by the time
The train arrived the platform and wait
ing room were one vast throng of people,
lack and white. The scene presented,
was one that will long be remembered by
those who saw il.
The weeping and waiing of the friends
and relatives Of the prisoner floated out
OF The waiting room over the air out
side and brought solemn expressions to
the faces Of the hundreds OF onlookers.
The scene was made more solemn by
the weeping of the murderer. who soon
broke down under the weight of the sad
thoughts that fitted through his mind =
the thought of leaving the old town and
home for life only 10 spend the rest OF
his days within the gloomy prison walls.
When the train arrived the guards had
to almost carry theprisoner through the
crowd He was weeping and almost
too weak to walk. The train soon pulled
out and separated him from Martinsburg

One On Him.

A good joke is told on two Martinsburg
men who visited Chambersburg recently.
The joke is really "on one of the men,
but both of them were parties to the
episode. Both of the men from this side
of the Potomac were sitting down at din
ner in one of the hotels in Chambersburg,
when one of them handed the waiter a
quarter as ? tip. The other, who was
following the ways of his better-in-
formed partner, thinking that he was pay
ing for his dinner, did the same.
When the latter, thinking that all bills
had been paid, went ont of the hotel after
dinner, he was informed by the clerk that
he owed for his dinner. He was taken
greatly by surprise when he told the clerk
he had paid the waiter and received the
reply that that was only tip" The
worst OF the joke is that it is absolutely
true,

is only one class, and that the latter.
Every minister who has been two years
in orders is Grazing the faculties of his
soul trying to think of something worth
preaching which he has not already
preached. How shall a clergyman feed
his brain while his brain feeds him?
Nowhere under heaven can you find a
man who is more in need of leisure for
study and reflection and undisturbed
personal and intellectual growth. than
the preacher. Results depend quite as
much upon the preparation of the man
as upon the preparation of the die
course. Good sermons are not con-
structed; they evolve. 1t is best that
the mind should at times lie fallow.
Though writing in prose, the preacher.
is the bard of the spiritual highlands,
and his mental movements resemble, or.
should resemble, those Of a poet.-Hen-
ry j. Barrymore in the Forum.
