For the merely pretty bedroom nothing
is more novel than the printed tickings,
got up in fancy stripes. In weave and
in design they arc really more sug-
gcstive of chintz than of any of the
ordinary tickings. They come chiefly
in stripes, the floral designs alternating
with plain ribbed effects similar to the
dimity and zephyr dress goods. Quaint,
small flowers mark the patterns. They
are especially suitable for semi Colonial
effects, and are hest employed when
used from wainscoting up to low
hung moulding with drop-ceiling above.
Again, they may be used in comhina-
ticn with plain toned buckram, or with
crepe fibre. Papers exactly initiating
these printed tickings come at half the
price; but these may he matched in
sateen drapcrics, so that the entire
room may be done in chintz effects
even to the window and other hangings.

walked beside the rihboned corn
One sacred, silent sabbath morn,
The soft wind in the branches stirred,
heard n single fluting bird.
And far away DER stream and tree.
The distant church bells chimed for me.
And back from childhood's mist and CLEAN
There came dear and radiant dream.
| know not why, this day, in sooth
My thought should stray to that fair Ruth
Who in the barley harvest sheen
Still walks, still bends the ears to CLEAN,
Still in the dust of glimmering dawn
Fits homeward ere the dusk be gone,
And in Naomi's locking clasp
Finds hope and JOY within her grasp.
But il is Ruth | seem TO see.
Sweet, slender, lissome, beckoning me
To that still time of childish bliss,
Earth's dearest thing, my mothers kiss,
When in Bible worn and old,
But worth far more than gems and gold,
We little ones on sabbath day
Would read the series, spell our way
Through Abraham and Isaac down
To DHyid's deeds of great renown
And find no lore in all the books
So sure to wake delighted looks
As those old Bible stories did,
Between those leathern covers hid.
Ruth and Naomi, deathless pair,
Your voices touch this mountain air;
A vision of you, age and youth,
Naomi grave and smiling Ruth,
Unto my eyes today is borne
| Here, by these fields of waving corn.

Easton, Pa, May 20. Two men were
killed and scores of men and women
injured in a trolley wreck few miles
beyond Easton late last night.
Dead: Edward Commodore. Naza-
reth and Joseph Derhammer, Easton.
An Easton & Nazareth car, the last

Nazareth, left this city with 50 passen-
GERS. On long, steep hill in Palmer
township the car ran away, descending
the incline at terrific rate of speed
At the foot of the hill there is sharp
curve. Here the car jumped the track
and, tearing loose from the trucks, fell
ON its side in the country road. The
scene that followed battles description.
There was terrific crash; all was
silence for "a minute, and then, when the
terrified passengers recovered from
the shock, there was wild scramble
TO get out OF the wrecked car. Com
modore was pinned under the trucks,
and Derhammer was thrown some
| distance.
The majority of the passengers were
on their way home from attending a
circus in Easton.

Judge not the workings of his brain
And of his heart thou canst not see;
What looks to thy dim eyes stain,
In Gods pure light may only be
A scar, brought from some well-won field,
Where thou wouldst only faint and yield.
The look, the air, that frets thy sight
Nav be token that below
The soul has closed in deadly fight
With some Internal, fiery foe,
Whose glance would scorch thy smiling
grace.
And cast the shuddering on thy face
The fall thou darest to despise-
May be the angels slackened hand
Has suffered it, that he1nay rise
And take a firmer, surer stand;
Or, trusting less to earthly things.
May henceforth learn to use his wings.
And Judge none lost; but wait and see,
With hopeful pity not disdain;
The depth of the abyss may be
The measure of the height of pain
| And love and glory that may raise

REVISION OF THE WESTMINSTER CONFESSION OF FAITH.
THE ORIGINAL CREED.
cnArrER 1II. -or con

/. God from all eternity did, by the
most wise and holy counsel Of His own
will, freely and unchangeably ordain
whatsoever comes to pass; yet so as
thereby neither is God the author of
sin, nor is violence offered to the will
OF the creatures, nor is the liberty or
contingency of second causes taken
away, but rather established.
III. Although God knows whatsoever
may or can come to pass upon all sup
posed conditions, yet hath He not de-
creed anything because He foresaw it
as future, or as that which would come
to pass upon such conditions.
III. By the decree of God, for the
manifestation of His glory, some men
and angels are predestinated unto ever
lasting life, and others fore-ordained
to everlasting death.
~. These angels and men, thus
e-destinated and fore-ordained, are
particularly and unchangeably de-
signed; and their number is SO certain
and definite, that it cannot be either
Increased OF diminished.

when the bodies of those who sleep in
Christ shall be fashioned in the like
ness of the glorious body of their Lord,
with whom they shall live and reign
forever.
ARTICLE XIII.-oF THE LAW OF GOD.
We believe that the law of God, re-
vealed in the Ten Commandments, and
more clearly disclosed in the words of
Christ, is forever established in truth
and equity, SO that no human work
shall abide except it be built on this
foundation. We believe that God re,
quires of every man TO do justly, to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with
his God; and that only through this
| harmony with the will of God shall be
| fulfilled that brotherhood of man where
in the kingdom of God is to be made
manifest
| ARTICLE XIV. OF THE CHURCH AND THE
! sACRAMENTS.
We believe in the Holy Catholic
Church of which Christ is the only
Head. We believe that the Church
Invisible consists of all the redeemed,
and that the Church Visible embraces
all who profess the true religion
together with their children. We re-
ceiye to our communion all who con
Tess and obey Christ as their divine
Lord and Saviour, and we hold fellow
shin with all believers in Him.
We receive the sacraments of baptism
and the Lords Supper, alone diylnely
established and committed to the
Church, together with the Word, a;
means of grace; made etfectual only b!
the Holy Spirit, and always to be usec
by Christians with prayer and praise
to God.
ARTICLE Xv.-oF THE LAST JUDGMENT
. We believe that the Lord Jesu:
Christ will come again in glorious
majesty to judge the world and Il
make final separation between tn
righteous and the wicked. The wicket
shall receive the eternal award of thel
sins, and the Lord will manifest tn
D glory of His mercy in the salvation O
! His people and their entrance upon tn
t full enjoyment Of eternal life.
ARTICLE XvI.-oF CHRISTIAN SERVO

We believe that it is our duty, a
servants and friends of Christ, to d

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
John Gillin Found Dead in Bed at His
Home Near Kennett.


John Gillin aged 81 years, who resided
with his brother, Edwin Gillin, on a farm
two miles south of Kennett Square, Pa,
was found dead in bed at his brothers
home yesterday week shortly after A
O'Clock.
The dead man and his brother lived to-
gether on farm which they own. Saturday
night John went away, and did not return
on Sunday. His brother went to his room
on Monday and he had not yet returned
Yesterday week he again went to his
brothers room and saw lying on the bed the
dead body of John. Immediately after the
discovery Elwin notified several neighbors
and went for DIR. A. w. Gregg of Kenneth
square, who was the family physician. DR..
Gregg made an external examination. The
case was reported to Coroner Troutman and
lie was requested to make an examination.
Nothing is known of the dead man since
he left on Saturday night. When his brother
went to his room he did lot know that John
had returned. The young man had good
habits and the whole affair has created con
siderable gossip in the usually quiet neigh
| borhood.
