Upper Meanings.

| The secret of a rich and contenteC
mind is to have the habit of taking the
upper meanings.
Everything has two meanings, an up
per and lower. You can take which
YOU choose.
Ii you persistently select the upper
meanings your soul viii be strong with.
in you. your days full OF cheer. your
nights stepped in rest, your friends and
relatives joy your youth enthusiastic
and your old age thick with happy mem
cries.
If you seek always the lower meanings
you will be soured, unhappy, pessimistic
petulant and dissgreeablc. The worms
of hate, suspicion, envy. jealousy and
pessimism will enter you aud cat you
up.
Is marriage failure? This depends
upon what it means to you. The upper
meaning of marriage is that it is sa
crament, the crown and perfection Of
loyal love. So long as that meaning re
mains, marriage is bliss. No matter what
the poverty, sickness, and hardships that
accompany it the halo win not depart
from it nor the rainbow hues Of illusion
vanish.
But if marriage has only the lower
meaning Of money, social advantage,
gratified ambition, or merely fleshly con
venienee, it can be nothing but calling
yoke.
1t is very easy to drop into the way
of disparaging or suspecting your friends.

SLATE QUARRIES IDLE
Because of Strike of Pit Men, Who Want
Better Wages.

Granville. n. Y. April All of the
slate quarries in the Pawlet district ar,
shut down because of the strike of the
pit men Tuesday. The strikers are most
" Italians, Hungarsns and Slavs. They
made n demand for an increase of about
three cents an hour or p cents day
and also that their lunch time at Q
o'clock be free. The demands were re-
fused but the men gave no notice of quit
ting. They have been receiving about Is
to 20 cents an hour and their workday
has been nine hours.
As a result of the strike there are no
blocks OF slate for the slatemakcrs and
they are consequently idle. Transfers
and Others have also nothing to do, so
that all work is absolutely stopped.
1t is understood here that the workers
in the South Poultney quarries will go
out, having made similar demands.

| impossible, and refuse to give it trial
He has several sworn statements from
persons in or near Brattleboro that deaf
persons were able to hear perfectly by
means of his invention. Mr.. DAMS has
come to Springfield in an attempt to find
someone who will recognize the worth of
the invention and enable him to put it
before those who can appreciate what it
means.
"Mr. DAMS will be pleased TO conduct
a demonstration on any deaf person who
has at some time heard the human voice
in any language and could, therefore
recognize it again, before any interested
persons. Ear specialists and physicians
are especially invited to investigate and
be present. Any deaf person desiring to
try his invention will be welcome. The
experiment calls for no attachments of
any kind, the deaf person simply taking
the invention in both hands and listen.

The pirogue was grounding in

a rude derrick. On the top of
this sat another negro who was

to them sharply. They turned to
