FORTLITTLETON.

The "outside world" is inclined
toward poking fun at Fulton
county for not having a railroad;
but there are many other desir-
able things in life besides rail
roads. Our highways and by
ways are not lined with hoboes,
and our county Jail is not filed
with tramps and other criminals;
and 1 might add just here-and
| do not do it to advertise buck
wheat flour, for my last crop has
been all marketed long ago
that there is something about the
diet of buckwheat cakes that is
conducive to a healthy develop
ment of morality and religion.
I'll lay a wager that no other
rural county in the United States
has, within the last half century,
made to the world so large con-
tribution of ministers and other
professional men in proportion
to population, as has ours.
Those of us who listened to the
sermon on faith, by Rev. Charles
Mayne, in the Methodist Episco-
pal church, last Sunday evening,
feel proud that this county, and
especially our town, has added
one more Of her sons to the list

some boards in front of their birth so
they wouldn't roll out.
They didn't mind this, but lay there
prattling cheerfully in German. once
in a while they were taken out of their
berths to rest during the next five
days, but they had early learned to
mind without making fuss about ii,
and they stood it bravely.
AT last the captain saw the steamer
Georgian's lights and sent up rockets.
A lifeboat was despatched. 1t came
back broken by the waves without
having reached the Ella The Geor-
Sian stayed near, though, till daylight,
and then another lifeboat was sent
out and this time it reached to within
GO feet of the Ella. The lifeboat crew
did not dare go any nearer to the

boat would be pounded to pieces
against the sides of the big ship, but
Captain Strange threw the end of a
rope out to the lifeboat The rope was
caught and the other end was looped
under the arms of big sailor; then
little Edward was lashed to the sail
or's back with his head a foot above
the seaman's shoulders. Edward looked
up and laughed at his mamma as the
sailor jumped into the tossing sea,
and in moment little bobbing head
now and then was all that could be
seen of Edward. He got good duck
ing, but he came up smiling and
reached the lifeboat safely. Louise
was taken from the ship in the same
way, on the back of sailor and she,
too, seemed to think it was fun, and
laughed as IL she would like to try IL
again. The nurse was not so brave.
After the rope was tied around her
and life preserver was fastened up
on her she stood and had to be pushed
into the water as she would not jump.
Their mamma came through bravely,
and after all the crew had been saved,
their papa like good seacaptain, the
last to leave the ship, was also taken
aboard the lifeboat, and they all were
saved. Not bit too soon. though, for

The Other World.

The Other. World. I
1t lies around us like a cloud = ri
The world we do not see
Yet the sweet closing of an eye
May bring us there to be.
It's gentle breezes fan our checks
Amid our worldly cares;
Its gentle voices whisper love
And mingle with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around us throb and
beat,
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the veil between
With beatings almost heard.
The silence-awful, sweet and calm
They have no power to break;
For mortal words are not for them
To utter or partake.
So thin, so soft, so sweet they glide,
So near to press they seem;
They lull us gently to our rest,
They melt into our dream.
And in the hush OF rest they bring,
'Tis easy now to see
How lovely and how sweet a pass
The hour of death may be.
To close the eye and close the ear,
Wrapt in trance of bliss,
And gently drawn in loving arms,
To swoon from that to this.
Scarce knowing il we wake or sleep,
Scarce asking where we are,
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care
Sweet souls around us watch us still,
Press nearer to our side,
into our thoughts, into our prayers,
With gentle helping glide.
Let death between us be as naught,
A dried and vanquished stream;
Your Joy be the reality,
Our suffering life the dream.
The earth is the Lords and the full
ness thereof; the world and they that
dwell therein.

The splri. is Greater Than Fact.

inc opIrlt Is GredteT man rdSH
Colonel Realf was certainly bril-
liant man, a journalist, poet and ora
tor. He was possessed of very
highly strung and sensitive organiza-
ton, which, while It added perhaps to
his brilliancy. was the source of much
suffering that more stolid man
would never have felt He was
man of strong social sympathies, and
gathered around him many friends;
especially was he held in high esteem
in literary and political circles. and
among his friends he numbered many
of the leading men of the day, such
as Wendell Phillips, Schuyler Colfax,
Horace Greedy, William Lloyd Garri-
son and others of like character and
fame.
AS specimen of his talent for
versification we republish the poem,
which is printed in the Atlantic,
poem which well expresses the spirit
and power with which he had been
gifted by the Muse. The poem is
entitled "Indirection," and the poet
says:
Fair are the flowers and the children,
but their subtle suggestion is
fairer;
Rare is the roseburst of dawn but the
secret that clasps it is rarer;
Sweet the exultance of song, but the
strain that precedes it is sweeter;
And never was poem yet writ, but the
meaning outmastered the meter.
Never daisy that grows, but mys-
terry guideth the growing;
Never a river that flows, but a
majesty scepters the flowing;
Never Shakespeare that scared, but
stronger than he did enfold
him;
Nor ever a prophet foretells. but a
mightier seer hath foretold him.
Back of the canvas that throbs, the
painter Is limited and hidden;
Into the statue that breathes, the soul
of the sculptor is bidden;
Under the joy that is felt, lie the in
finite issues of feeling;
Growing the glory revealed, is the
glory that crowns the revealing.
Great are the symbols of being, but
that which is symboled is greater;
vast Ile CTedJe anu DSHSlu, DuI NdoISl
the inward creator;
Back of the sound broods the silence,
back of the gift stands the CIV
ing;
Back of the hand that receives, thrill
the sensitive nerves of receiving.
Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed
is outdone by the doing;
The heart of the wooer is warm, but
warmer the heart of the wooing;
And up from the pits where these
shiver. and up from the heights
where those shine;
Twin voices and shadows swim star
ward, and the essence of life is
divine.-Ex.

An accident out of the ordinary
happened near Greencastle few

She had unwittingly gotten her

dressed her hurts.

Young girls who think it great
sport to enter into a correspond

take warning from the expert
ence of a young Chambersburg
girl, who recently had to invoke
the aid of the police authorities
to get rid of an unwelcome suitOr,
whom she had gained through
correspondence. When the man
appeared in Chambersburg, he
had the appearance of an ordi-
nary tramp and he annoyed the

frightened and was forced to tell
her story to the police. The man
was arrested and given a hear

leave town under threat of being
jailed if he returned.

\ elbow Butter.

1t is not only the change of food that
is the cause of butter being more vel
low when the cows get to pasture,
though that has much to do with it,
but the sunshine which they receive
when out in the pasture, says The
American Cultivator. It has been
proved that the COW standing in the
barn and fed on winter ratiOns gives q
higher color to her butter in the sum
mer than in winter and more when
her stall is on the south side of sta
bic where the sun can shine in most of
the day than when she is kept in a
dark stable. 1t has also been found
that, as a general rule, or we will say,
an invariable rule, other conditions
being the same, her milk will be
richer in butter fat during a succession
of pleasant, bright days than at the
end Of two or three cloudy days, even
though they are neither cold nor wet
No young animals grow strong and
thrifty when confined where they do
not get sunshine. If any farmer or
dairyman has his stables so that the
sun cannot shine into them most of the
day, it Will pay him well to alter them
around to the sunny side, cut away
and put in more windows and, if he is
where cold weather prevails in winter,
provide for double windows, with an
air space between them, to give sun
