(Jackson, Northampton county) THE CHILDREN LIKE IT KENNEDY'S LAXATIVE COUCH SYRUP THE WEDDING DAY. No Matter How Practical (lirls May He Superstition Sways Them Wedding Day. There is one lime in her life when every girl, no mailer how praeiical she may be as a rule, can not help permitting herself to be swayed by a few superstitious con- 1 siJeraiions, and that is on her welding Jay. : She would not think of falling up stairs thai morning for fear her bridegroom should play her false and she be compelled to remain single for another year. If she gets up to find the sky overcast or the streets full of deep splashing puddles when she is looking forward ton noon wedding, then indeed do her spirits sink, for i she knows that only that bride is I fated to be happy upon whom the sun shines. She has heard that the bride who ! sheds tears during the ceremony ; may look forward to a long life of ! happiness, and yet when the time comes she is afraid to lose her self control for fear she should stop ! the service. As to her wedding attire, all her relatives and friends have long been instilling into her mind what she must be sure to wear. "Something old and something new, Something borrowed and some thing blue," and so she borrows a handkerchief j from her sister, fastens a blue gar ' ter just below her knee and comforts herself that her slippers are really old because she has been "break ing them in" in the privacy of her boudoir during the past week. She knows that if she would en : joy undivided happiness she must never try on her wedding gown in its entirety until the day upon which she is to be married, and that her prospective husband should not be permitted to see her that day until he meets her at the altar. Up until lately green has been ; looked upon as an emblem of bad luck, but this season quite a num ' ber of green weddings will be no ticed. The decorations will be 1 entirely of this color, and the : bridesmaids' dresses, if not entire , ly of it, will at least have embroid ' eries or trimmings of green. LAZY JOHNNY.

SONGS OF OLDEN DAYS, There is a hallowed, soothing charm, unto the heart appeals, Wherever songs of olden days, in mellow strains, are sung; They waken cherished visions with a touch that sweetly steals Across the thoughtful spirit as old scenes it roams among. At twilight on a summer's day, while noisy sounds grow still, An old, familiar parting lay will strangely stir the heart And woo a spell of fancy as no other music will, To linger in the stillness when the fading gleams depart. The olden battle hymns of home in mystic measures cling, And strike a sacred, loving chord, which blends as Sabbath chimes Round bygone days, when true joy spoke the feelings with a ring, Stiil echo with a vibrant note through rifts of modern times. Those simple lays of bashful love and childhood melodies Resound with thrills of memory round cabins of the past; No songs impart deep fervor like the homely harmonies, Entwined with recollections which endearing visions cast. The soul-sung hymns of vanished years forever shall endure, Though the author be forgotten, unlaureled or unknown; So long as life hath sorrow and the human heart is pure, Fond songs of olden sentiment will breathe a tender tone. ONLY A BABY'S PRAYER, "Now I lay me down to sleep" 'twas just a even time, A little freckled, chubby boy knelt by his mother's side. The father in his old arm-chair, was moved to tender tears, The sound of those pathetic words brought back his childhood years. He thought of how he used to kneel beside his little bed, And how his mother knelt there, too alas ! she now is dead. He looked back o'er the vanished years when he was but a boy, So full of hope and innocence, his own dear mother's joy. Since then the drunkard's cup has thrown his shadow o'er his life, It wrecked his years and crushed the hope of his devoted wife. The wedded love was blighted and their home was filled with tears, And the future seemed to promise only dark and dreary years. "Dod bess my papa dear tonight, an' mate him dood mid true." Thus came the words from tender lips. His heart was stirred anew. The mother hugs her little boy and checks a straying tear. The father's heart grows warm again with love for those so dear. 'Tis night again, and side by side they both kneel down and pray Just as they used to do at home in times so far away. The father's heart is true once more; his words are kind and mild, He feels a ransomed man at last, led by a little child. BE CHEERFUL. Be cheerful no matter what re verses obstruct your pathway or what plagues follow you in your trail to annoy you. Ask yourself what is to be gained by looking or feeling sad when troubles throng around or how your condition is to be alleviated by abandoing your self to despondency. If you are a young man nature designed you to "be of good cheer," and should you find your road to fortune, fame or respectability or any other boon to which your young heart aspires a little thorny consider it all for the best and that these im pediments are only thrown in your way to induce greater efforts and more patient endurance on your part. If you are of the softer, fairer portion of humanity be cheerful, though we know full well that most affections are sweet to you when compared with dis appointment and neglect, yet let hope banish despair and ill fore bodings. Be cheerful. Do not brood over fond hopes unrealized until a chain, link after link, is fastened on each thought and wound around the heart. Nature intended you to be the fountain spring of cheerfulness and social life and not the traveling monu ment of despair and melancholy. Saved From Awful Peril.

I The Seeress is Pained in Predict ing Doom. The year ot 1910 will be one for Americans to look back to with horror, in the opinion of Madame Thebes, of Paris, theseress, whose prophetic eye is credited with hav ing foreseen more events than any other member of her craft. The madame was sought out in her el egant home in the Avenue De Wa gram by a press correspondent to get her opinion on the wave of crime that is now sweeping over l-'rance. "The earth is under the strain of a terrific planet revolution," she declared. "Human destiny is red. Thai means blood. Politi cal events are black. Terrible changes are imminent, and Ameri ca is placed under the worst zone of all." Madame was only too glad of the opportunity of delivering her self of her warning. "I am glad you came," she said, "for I have a message for your country, an im portant message. Until the last of March the earth will be swept by a wave of murders, suicides and tragedies of all descriptions. France every day is witnessing the most murders. The influence of form changes in other planets is affect ing us. But the strain will be most severely fell in America. "You will pay dearly for your riches and your property. A fi nancial crash is impending, to be followed by a long string of sui cides. The times are swaying to ward degeneration. Black ruling us, young men will marry old wo men for money. Young girls will marry old men. "We are out of the orbit. Our souls have lost their proper place. I dare not say all that is revealed to me. It would be terrible. It would frighten people, but read well what 1 have told you." Madame rested awhile after her mental excitement, and then de clared: "I am very fond of Ameri ca. She is one of the greatest of countries. But, like all youih, she has too much life. Age will tem per her down." CHILDREN TEETHINQ Mils.
