Thus 1t Is.
A little bitter and a little sweet
Thus it is that the world runs on
A cross to carry and a crown to meet,
Lilies of love and winding sheet;
Thus it is that the world runs on.

Thus it is that the world runs on.

The latest hard luck story comes
from Portland. A barber with few
hard learned dollars laid in supply
of coal and then. rubbed his hands in
glee at the pleasure he thought he
would have in watching the fuel burn.
He smiled even more broadly when we
had the recent rain storm and warm
weather, for then the precious fuel
would be saved. But, alas, the rain
storm flooded the cellar, and the water
which ran in went over the coal and
froze into ice. There lies the coal un
der the ice, looking as natural as
mammoth in Siberia, but unattainable.
Hot water cannot be used to thaw it
out because no hot water can be had
without the coal. So the barber is dig
ging the coal from the ice with a pick.

fulness will apparently meet with but
little opposition from the clergy of
this State if the views of those who
nave spoken are to be taken as crit
erion. 1t cannot be denied that the
day has lost it's significance, or at
least the significance that was attached
to it by the early fathers. Instead of
being devoted to fasting and prayer, it
is now made the occasion of feasting
and sport. Instead of the people as
semblrg in their respective places of
worship to give thanks to Deity for
His manifold blessings the day has
now become the opening of the base
ball season, and the diamond is more
in evidence than the house of fasting
and meditation. In short the public
has grown away from the idea, and the
people are no longer interested in it's
observance.
