ST. INIGo,s ITEMS.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
As IL is not a branch OF the human
province TO gain glimpse of that
august and mysterious problem, the
formation Of the future, we will con-
tent ourselves by saying that we
trust large yields OF tomatoes may
be realized as employment is given
many poor persons during the CON-
ing season. Such was the case In
1913. Men, women and children
sought and found work at the can
neries situated respectively on St.
Jerome s and Smith s creeks.
Give the poor and industrious man
employment and pay him q living
price wages that will keep his wife
and children in comfortable circum-
stances and his discomfort will van
ish-will be conquered. This is
charity OF the righttype. Itrescues
man from crime, the church of hell
ldleness will wreck a man-aye, he
may be wrecked, as is ship. Vice
exists in maa. Idleness IS its glory
as darkness is the glory OF night.
AS the glory of the latter is conquer-
ed by the torch, SO the former is
conquered by work well rewarded.
An occasional beautiful sun set is
Witnessed. AS the sun fades from
view in the distant west, the horizon
is tinged with the hue of the Aurora
borealis.
POliticians-who can see the fiuc-
tuations of their minds +? The three
great statesmen Clay, Calhoun and
Webster each desired to be presi-
dent, but they were disappointed.
There is trio of modern statesmen,
German, Hearst and Parker, each al
so desire to be elevated to the exalt-
ed position The majority of demo
Gratis down here favor Mr.. German s
nomination and election. They ask:
Is he'not backed by approved integ-
rity and ability? Isn't he the man
TO carry the pivotal State New York?
Can we win in the coming election
without this State Thinking men
answer the second question in the
affirmative and the third with No
emphasized. This State in presi-
dental elections is like single star
"glittering upon the brow of night. :"
Pets? Well, yes, there are rab-
bits, squirrels, monkeys, raccoons
and variety Of birds that are pets.
would not these animals and birds
be more contented and happy with
their arboreal life The uncaged
life is the happiness of irrational
creatures. They ara mortal. They
cannot form conceptions of right and
wrong therefore, they are not bound
by the moral law. Their happiness
is temporal. is it right to deprive
them OF it? There is q future for
rational creatures. They are moral.
They have a standard or right and
wrong. There is happiness laid up
for them beyond the transitory scenes
of this life if they will accept and
act upon the conditions set forth in
Revelation. Lest we seem less
rational and less sensible of our duty
than brutes-the irrational parts of
creation-turn the pets out ofprison
and give them liberty as the great
Creator designed that they should
enjoy from the beginning, the 9th
and 9Th days Of their creation.
There is considerable area of DO
tatoes planted. We observe in pass
ing through life that wherever there
is q demand for anything there will
always be supply.
Mrs. Geo. Brownley has returned
home from Baltimore much improved
in health, and Miss Daisy Wood,
teacher, Of Northumberland county,
Va, is visiting relatives near Mil.
ler's wharf.
Mr.. John f. Combs is shipping
asparagus TO Baltimore. Fair fig
ures are realized.
Mr.. Geo. W. Joy, Examiner of
schools, visited the district recently.
Ii our memory be not at fault Mr..
Joy formerly taught school and he
knows that the influence OF teachers
is great upon the children under
their care, either for good or evil.
The school-room is no place for a
teacher without principle, and it is
source of pleasure to know that the
corps OF teachers of st. Inigo's dis
trict recognize and reverence the
handiwork OF God in their pupils
and earnestly desire to train them
to the highest attainment of which
they are capable. Reason concurs
with divine authority 70 give sane
ton to the sentiment-that the rec
ignition, ETC., mentioned are recon-
clleaole with the nature of Him who
blessed children while on earth.
