LOST OPPORTUNITIES.
Don't Waste Your Youth; Use 1t In
Getting an Education.

How the handicapped millionaire en-
yies boys in school or college and would
give half his wealth for the chance TO
lay a foundation which they are think
ing of spurning How many an embar-
Tassed man in public life longs to re-
live bOyhOod that he may correct the
mistakes of his youth! How much more
he could make of his life, Of his posi-
ton, if he had cultivated his mind
when young! He does everything at a
disadvantage. His grasp of documents,
speeches and books is weak because he
does not know how to study. He must
employ a literary secretary to save him
self from blunders of grammar errors
I'm history and biography or In poliu-
cal economy. He is forced to petty eX-
pedicnts to hide his ignorance.
Oh, what n pity 1t is to see splendid
ability made to do the work Of medioc-
rity! A man Of magnificent parts, feel
ing that he is by nature intended to
shine as Il leader, Is pitiable when
compelled to do the work Of an inferior
and plod along In hopeless obscurity.
The eager unrest OF youth that chafes
at restraining school walls and longs to
rush to action makes havoc with count
less careers. In after days the old prov
erb will ring mocNngly in memory;
lie that will not when he may
When he would he shall have nay.
What are investments in bonds and
stocks, in houses and lands, compared
with investment in an education, in
broad, deep culture which will enrich
the life and be a perpetual blessing to
ones friends?
To rob oneself of the means of en-
joymcnt which education and culture
give has no compensation in mere mon
ey wealth. No material prosperity can
compare with rich mind. 1t is q per
petual wellspring of satisfaction, of en-
joyment. 1t enables one to bear up un-
der misfortune, to be cheerful under
discouragements, trials and tribulaiOns
which overwhelm q shallow mind and
an empty heart-Succcss.

NEW ORPHANS HOnE
NEAR SUNBURY

Accommodations for the care of the
inmates of the Odd Fellows Orphans
Home of Central Pennsylvania between
Sunbury and Snydertown will be great
ly increased within the next year
An important meeting of the Board
of Directors of that institution was
held at the Home on Tuesday, at which
time it was decided to erect in the
near future another large building
The new structure is to be of fire proof
material and is to cost in the neighbOr-
hood of thirty thousand dollars.
Dr. Bussler, of Williamsport, who
is chairman of the building committee,
stopped off in Sunbury Tuesday even
ing on his way home from the meet
ing. He stated that nearly the entire
amount needed has already been raised
and that ground would be broken early
this fall or not later than spring. The
new building will be erected opposite
the present Home and will afford ac
commodation for nearly two hundred
and fifty children. At present there
are sixty-two orphans cared for at the
Home. From the same source it was
learned that there is a movement on
foot at present to consolidate the sew
eral Homes in the State and transfer
all of the orphans to the new quarters
near this city. The plans for the con-
it is understood have not
yet assumed definite shape, but the
people at the helm are among the lead
ers in Odd Fellowship, and there is
every Likelihood that their efforts viii
not result in failure.
When the new quarters are cOmplet
ed the old building will be converted
into a home for INDECENT Odd Fellows
and their widows.
