 Wetake pleasure in returning our thanks to the many friends who have been kind enough to commend our efforts to please them by giving as we did last week pa- per which they said they are not ashamed of,- and that the price, one dollar and fifty cents, is not too much. We have la- bored hard to meet the wishes of all of our patrons, and to those who were doubt larging and improving the paper, we will say that the paper in it's present form equals any other weekly published i'll the county, in a town the size of Newtown, and, so far as we know, eXcels. We are glad to know that very few have discon- tinued the paper and now that we have enlarged, we are hopeful of getting them to renew. We send this week, copies of the paper, to those who have discontinued, as sample, we send also, to those whose time has expired, but who have not sent any word whether they wished the paper continued, and if we do not hear from them by our next issue we shall take for granted that the paper is not wanted and shall discontinue the sending. Thss is but fair to ourselves, because it cost Us for paper, postage and the printing, and we cannot afford to take the risk. Our friends then will bear this in mind, and forward if they wish their subscription as soon ,.s possible. The cross mark will indicate that the subscription is due, or tho time has expired Subscription price now as follows: $1.50 one year; 75 cts. six months; 50 cts three months. There is no postage to pay. Single copies 5 cents.

Life has a burden for every mans shoulder
Some may escape from its trouble and care;
Miss it In youth and twill come when we re older
And at as close as the garments we wear.
Sorrow comes into our lives uninv ted,


Robbing our hearts of their treasures of song:
Lovers grow cold and friendships are sighted,
Yet somehow or other we worry along
Everyday toll is an everyday blessing


Though poverty's cottage and crust we may share:
Weak is the back on which burdens are pressing,
But stout is the heart that is strengthened by


prayer.


Somehow or other the pathway grows brighter
just when we mourn there were none to befrfend
Hope in the heart makes the burden seem lighter.
And somehow or other we get to the end

they would be powerless to assail us.
AS | listen there is borne to me on every
breeze sad, low murmur, which arises
from the countless overburdened hearts
of humanity. Weary hearts, that turn
away even from the bright radiance of
Gods sunshine. Weary heartsl over
the chords of whose life sorrows hand
has swept with blighting fingers.
Weary hearts, that are overborne by
temptations, have yielded to the allur-
ing voice of sin, and have found too
surely THAT the way Of the transgres-
sor is hard One of the saddening
effects of wrong doing are the inefface-
able stains made on the soul, for like
blot on the margin of pure white leaf,
or the bloom brushed from fruit, it can
never be restored to its original purity.
But despair not, erring ones, because
OF this. Winnow carefully from your
life all that tends to degrade it, give
room only to influences that fill heart
and mind with a desire for all that is
good and true in this world of ours. So
surely as you do this the sooner will
you reach that moral height on whose
summit lies repose. 'Do the duty that
lies nearest thee" How pregnant with
meaning is this sentence, and how
truly its practice would save US from
many a pitfall. Duty! it is stern
word, but thedischarge oft is growing
strength; it is self-knowledge. The
mind becomes by its continuous per
formance conscious of the power to see
and to feel the beauty and the worth
of right living.


Yet so weak are we that it is very
hard at times to look duty in the face
and walk with unfaltering feet the path
pointed out to us. 1t is hard, when one
has the cup of forbidden joy almost
press ed to his lips, to turn away from it
untasted; to struggle with it, To strive
to Danish the sweet memory of it, to
know that he must make crave to
bury its persistent life and that he must
not write ''Resurgam" on the head
stone. If the victory is won, then one
knows chow sublime thing it is to
suffer and be strong.''

and plying eyes that | approach you,
who are sitting under the shadow of a
great grief; whose aching hearts long
unutterably for thetouch of vanished
hand, for the sound Of voice that is
still.'' Take heart! Look out into Gods
beautiful world and be comforted.
Know that in the economy of Nature
nothing is lost. Surely human soul
will be precious to Him:

Peace wherein lady was plaintiff and a
bank defendant. The evidence showed
coneIusisely that the far plaintiff had no
right to recover; Of this no one conld

learned counsel knew well that unless he
could get the sympathy Of tho esquire, >
his client would have 'lost cause.' IL
therefore 'abored hard in applying the
sympathetic process" He gushed with
eloquence of great warmth in referring
to his clients rights, until finally great
tears came tr,ck'ing down his cheeks, at
the sight Of which the Justice (who was a

he was called away to see sick friend re-
siding in some neighboring hamlet. The
interview being over, the Bishop looked
at his watch and found that he must take
a short cut through the fields instead Of
the usual road, to enable him to get home
in time for dinner. On his arrival he
found that his watch was missing. Al
though much annoyed, he said nothing
about the matter. On the following day
he was again sent for to see his friend,

watch suspended by twig. At dinner

Every local victory for the Republicans
will be distinctly understood as an en-
dorsement of John Sherman's financial
policy. Every local victory Of the Dem
ocrats will be hailed as an acquescence
in the election of hard money Randall
for speaker, and another gun will "boom''
for the Tilden programme in 1880. You
can't make anything else oft.


If you have fallen in love with John
Sheman's era of resumption prosperity,
then vote the local Republican ticket, and
show your faith by your works. If you
would rather see the national bank ring
change horses in the chase of running
down the greenback, then you will vote
the local Democratic ticket, and give Til
den lift toward seat in the presidential
chair.


But if you favor the building up of a
National party of peace and reconci,ia-
ton, without "bloody shirt" banner oI
any description; if you want to see, not q
solid north and a solid south, but a solid
people; if you believe in "a government
currency, nothing but a government cur
rency, and government currency good
everywhere and for everything;" if you
honestly desire all these things, then talk
argue, work and rOte for the only loca
ticket that represents your principles
Vote the National Greenback ticket!


Its success means victory over the
Money Power, with its two powerful party
wings in congress. Every local GreenbacE
victory is a step towards the election of 0
true Greenback congressman; toward the
balance Of mower in the Legislature; to-
wards majority In congress, and towards
an honest mans election to the White
House.


That is what il means!

Judge Thayer, granting the divorce to the

ter the congratulations had been poured

guests had retired, it occurred 10 John
that it would be well to retire to the
bridal couch. Young husbands can

and then soft hand waved in the di-
rectiOn of the door leading to another
bedchamber. John was not graduate of
the school of patonic love, and the situa-
ton was entirely new to him, but words
of entreatics, and even tears were of no
avail. The bride of few hours bade him
retire, and in a twinkling the snowy
drapery of the nuptial couch enfolded in
sweet rcpose and virgin innocence the fair
form of the pure Mary. Such a condition
of affairs did not lead to much harmony,
and John might have expressed somewhat
warmly his practical ideas concerning
platonic affection. In any case, theyoung

husband brought his grievance to the ears

When young horse acts badly
in harness, it is because he has not
been properly taught his business.
To whip al d misuse him is to spoil
him. A horse is naturally willing
and docile, if well used, and much
may be done BY Kindness, patience
and Judgment in removing the ill
effects of wrong treatment. A colt
should be trained when young, and
gradually taught his duties, the
greatest care should be taken to
avoid frigh htening or irritating the
animal, and much patience should
be exercised. IF the animal re-
fuses to do what is required, pun
ishment will make matters worse,
something should be done to dis
tract its attention when it will gen.

The versatile ingenuity Of q West.
ern inventor, who doubtless foresees
the time in the far distant future when
the farest shall cease to clothe the
hills and dales, and the demands
for lumber shall prove vastly
in excess Of the supply, has
succeeded in devising substitute
for the natural product of virgin or
the culivsted soil. HIS plan is to use
that fragile vegetable, straw, and by a
peculiar process to compress it into a
substance as hard and indestructible
as oak lumber. 1t is claimed that this
process converts wheat straw into tim
her which is susceptible of hs fine q
polish and finish as mahogany and
black walnut, at a cost not in excess
of that of the best clear pine. The
straw is first manufactured by the or.
dlnary raper null process into straw.

of this of the right size are taken to
make the required timber. They are

lution, which is OF course, the inven
tors secret. After the fibre of the
pasteboard is sufficiently saturated,
the pile of sheets IS pressed between
q series of rollers which consolidates
them so that when dry the whole is a
hard stick. It is also claimed that
the process renders this wood substi-
tute imperyious to water. and the
chemicals used are such as to make it


fire proof. But the sanguine inventor
has only made samples thus far.

THE New York Tribune says two consid-

Here Is the foundation for two or more
coats Of paint. The first coat upon tho
wood is called the printing. This may be
made little thinner than thick cream by
the addition Of more linseed oil. Some
painters add spirits turpcntne to the pri-
ming, but it is not best for outside work,
even in the priming coat, and it is ruinous
Tor the outer coats, as it causes tho paint
to soon cut all to pieces in the weather and
rub off like lime whitcwash. Spirits tur-
pcntine is often put largely in outside work
by dishonest painters, Q), il they furnish
the paint themselves, because it cost less
than linsecd oil, and (2), because it makes
their work dry with greater rapldity. The
farmer doing his own painting will not be
apt to find himself in any great hurry about
the drying, but If he does he can make the
paint dry fast and yet be all right by adding
to 1t, at the mixing, small quantity of
what they have for salc at the paint shops
under tho name of "Japan gold size. :"
The second coat Of paint must never be
put on until the first coat or priming Is en-
tircly dry and hard. If you desire to put
on third coat prepare your paint exactly
as for the second coat. Be very careful
not to get your paint too thin; and before
putting on the third coat, make sure that
the second coat Is perfectly dry. For in
side work you take your lead from the kcg,
and mix it to tho consistency of cream with
turpentlnc alone. Some painters apply it
In this condition; but if it bc used about
the house, great advantage will be found to
como Of the addition Of one half pint light
colorcd coach varnlsh to every gallon of
paint. This gives it peculiar hardness,
and makes 1t so that one may wash 1t thor
onghly with soap suds and not damage it
in tho least. This, it must be borno in
mind, Is for second or third coat tho
wood must first have been primed tho
samc as for outside work, though tho pri-
ming may be mixed with turpcntinc instead
Of linsecd oil, yet small proportion of oil
improves 1t. A very beautiful finishing
paint for inside work Ii made by mixing
zinc white (Which Is something similar to
white leaO in damar varnish, and reducing
It to working consistency with turpcntinc.
This imparts q bright gloss to the work {;

put on smoothly than any OF the other prep
arations.
