On Friday night while the binding snow

PENNSYLVANIA Central Railroad heard cries Of distress
in the vicinity OF the Singer scwingmachne Factory at
ElIzabethp0rt. He heard distinctly the words " Save
me, save me- I'm lost" but from what direction the
voice came he could not tell After answering and not
hearing cries repeated he searched for while in the
gloom. but becoming chilled through he went home.
on the following morning kehOe went in the direction
he had taken the night previous but he discovered no

WASHINGTON, Sept. H. - Secretary
Evarts will sometime during the fall
campaign in New Y ,rk deliver politi-
cal speech at Cooper Institute, this city,
which will be a defense of the Admins

Evarts will take the same stand on the
Southern question that Secretary Sher-

month, but will pay more attention to
the Presidents order depriving office
holders of political privileges. The
speech will probably be delivered before

cannot double by pondering upon it a

On the other hand, a man accustomed to
look on the bright side of all things will re-
pei the mildew and dampness of care by its
genial sunshine. A cheerful heart paints
the world AS it sees it, like sunny land
scape; the morbid mind depicts it like a
sterile wilderness, and thus life, like the
chameleon, takes its hues of light or shade
from the soul upon which it rests. Cheer
fulness keeps up daylight in the mind,
hlling 1t with steady and perpetual seren-
lty, aud is in itself an otfshoot of goodness.


1t is choice bit of philosophy to look
ever on the bright side of fortune, a delight
ful frame of mind to cultivate and a most
enviable spirit to possess. No matter what
seeming troubles and atictions may befall
us, all is doubtless for the best and should
be so received. We may rob misfortune of
half her power and all her frowns by meet
ing her with a smiling face. If the sun has
gone down let US look up at the stars if the
earth seems dark, keep your eyes on heaven


1t is, of course, true that we cannot at all
times be cheerful, or at moments notice,
but the consistent endeavor TO look at the
bright side of things will gradually produce
and fix the habit of doing so. Nothing un-
der heaven will supply the want of sunshine
to ripen peaches and Strawberries so with
the human heart, cheerfuness is equally in
dispensable. The habit of looking on the
bright side of everything is worth a thou

Sleep, DIR. w. A. Hammond says,
may be defined as general repOse.
Almost all the organs rest during
sleep. The heart, popularity sup
posed to be in perpetual motion, Is
at rest six hours out of the twenty
four, the respiratory organs eight,
and the other organs more or less.
The brain alone is constantly en-
ployed during wakefulness, and for
it sleep was formed and made need
full to its preservation. 1t is true
that sleep does not give the brain a
total recess from labor; imagination
and memory are often wildly active
during sleep, and unconscious cere-
bration likewise takes place, but
enough rest is obtained for the reno
vation of the brain, and that which
has been torn down during wakeful-
ness is to a certain extent rebuilt.
Sleep is a most wonderful power
often stronger than the will, as in
the case of the sleeping soldier-and
more mighty than pain, as when
sick persons and tortured prisoners
sleep in the midst of their suffering.
No torture, it is said, has been found
equal to the prevention of sleep,
The amount of sleep needed differs
according to the constitution ana
habits. Big brains and persons VINO
perform much brain labor need
large amount of sleep. Children
need more sleep than grown people
because construction Is more active
than decay in their brains.

Judge Pitman was IN the habit of
slipping his watch under his pillow
when he goes to bed. The other
night somehow it slipped down, and
as the Judge was restless, it gradu-
ally worked It's way toward the foot
of the bed. After a bit, while he
was lying awake, his foot touched it,
and as it felt very cold, he was sur
prised and scared, and jumping up
from his bed, he said;


"By gracious, Maria! there's a
toad or snake or something under
the covers-I touched it with my
foot"


Mrs. Pitman gave a loud scream,
and was out on the floor in an in

"Now, don't go to hollering and
waking up the neighbors," said the
Judge. "You go and get the broom
or something, and we'll fix the thing
mighty quick"


Mrs. Pitman got the broom and
gave it to the Judge, with the re-
mark that she felt as if snakes were
crawling all up and down her legs
and back.


60, nonsense, Maria! Now you
turn down the covers slowly, while
l hold the broom and bang it. Put
a bucket of water alongside the bed,
too. SOS we can shove it in and
drown it"


Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The
Judge held the broom uplifted, and,
as soon as the black ribbon of the
watch was revealed, he cracked
away three or four times with his
broom. Then he pushed the thing
off into the bucket. Then they took
the bucket to the light to investi-
gate the matter. When the Judge
saw what it was, he said:

and making fuss about nothing!

An editor out West indulges in
the following talk to his subscribers
and patrons. The famous speech of
Brutus, on the death of Caesar, rem
dered by Shakespeare is made to do
service in this amusing travesty:


"Hear us for our debts, and get
ready that you may pay; trust US,
we have need, as you have long been
trusted; acknowledge your indebted
ness, and dive into your pockets,
that you may promptly fork over,
If there be any among yOu-one sin
gle patron-that don't owe us any
thing, then to him we say: Step
aside, consider yourself a gentleman.
If the rest wish to know why we dun
them, this is our answer: Not that
we care about ourselves, but our
creditors do. Would you rather that
we went to Jail and you go free,
than that you pay your debts, and
keep US moving? As we agreed, we
have worked for you; as we con-
tracted, we have furnished the pa
per to you; but as you don't pay we
dun you. Here are agreements for
job work, contracts for subscription,
promises for long credit, and duns
for deferred payment. Who is there
so green that he don't take a paper?
If any, he need not speak, for we
don't mean him. Who is there so
green that he don't advertise ? If
any, let him slide; he amt the chap
either. Who is there so mean that
he don't pay the printers ? If any,
let him speak, for he is the man we
are after"

We are surprised to read in an ex-

man, of Lycoming county. is seven
feet high" We pity Redman We
cannot imagine how he gets his boots
on over such a corn as that, neither
can we conceive how he eOntriv-
ed to walk even when barefoOted.
1t is hardly likely, we should think,
that Redman himself is more than
six feet high; and, if that is the case,
that solitary corn of his must tower
above his head. 1t might be good
thing to tie an umbrella to, or he
might carry a flower pot on his foot
and have honeysuckle climbing up
the corn and blossoming under his
nose. Of course, Redman cannot en-
Joy himself in wet weather. Those
of us who have ordinary corns know
how intense is the suffering they
cause on damp days. Now, imagine
seven feet of corn in one long string
and an idea may be formed of Red
mans agony when the air is moist.
He would be very valuable man in
the signal service bureau. A man
with a seven-foot corn in Washing
ton ought to detect a storm that is
raging in Kansas.
