(Jackson, Northampton county) rKKSIOKNT; W. I',. pAMrX, The habit of freiaient and hearty laughter will not only save you many a doctor's bill, hut will also save you years of. your life. There is good philosophy as well as good health in the max im, "Laugh and grow fat." Laughter is a foe to pain and diseases, and u sure cure for ! the "blues," melancholy, and worry. Laughter is contagious. Ho cheerful, and you make every body around you happy, har monious ami healthful. Laughter and good cheer make hive of life, and love of life is half of health. I'se laughter :is a table sauce; it sets the organs to dancing, and KliinulatcH the digestive processes. Laughter keeps the heart and face voting, and enhances phy sical beauty. Laughter is nature's device for exercising the internal or gans and giving us pleasure at the same lime. It sends the blood hounding through the body, increases the respiration, and gives warmth and glow to the whole system. j It expands the ( best, and forces , the poisoned air from the least used lung cells. i Perfect health, which may he i destroyed hy a piece of had ' news, by grief or anxiety, is j often restored by a good, hearty ! laugh. ; A jolly physician is often I hotter than all his pills. Hue-cess. SOME DAY. Perhaps some day through all the striving and the hurried rush. Through all the cares and all the things that spoil Perhaps some day we'll get the rhyme aright, Meire and poise and all, perfected dream; Perhaps, with upward-looking faces toward the light, We'll find ihe primal and the final Gleam. The good we do? this little, but again, 'tis much. , For see the hindering circumstance Earth-clogs the fine machinery of heaven's design, And men work slowly toward their clearer sight, , And good grows, not as doth the beacon light, From hill to hill till all the night's ablaze: But slowly .... gathering might, Deep, far, far out of common sight As doth in crevised rock, With faintest silver iricklings, Unheard and caverned murmurs, Gather its crystal and its strength, The mountain, spring-bed stream. You do not know nor I We only scheme and try, Strive on love well our earth, Hold right on high Battle and fall, And rise to battle on. Archie L. Phelps.

The Sabbath Should He a Day tf l.ove and Never a Duy of Labor. The doctors and hospitals arc I Hod intended thul I here should picking up a good business around j be one day each week as an es- ! the football lields. ' pecial (lav fur the culture of Rheumatism irvili-Hi! I ni,.l I- I, .v lll.lt l"'l ee I'.r ll; It. I home ties. A day when the father would be hmne from j work, and the children home I from school, iiiid the mother I have less houtseliiild care, when all could put on their best clothes, sing their sweetest : songs, and unjoy a day of love, i The Sabbath should never be ! made a day of labor in the homo. The work of each home should be so arranged that it , can be done almost ent irely in j six days and evenly its possible I in each day. "Six days shalt j thou labor and do all thy work." The bilking and cooking can j be done on Saturday, and Sun 1 day can be made alinostentirely a day of rest by wan ting over i the food prepared before. We fear many good housewives make a ! serious mistake in giving too j much time to Sunday cooking. 'Others are perhaps equally i in error by overworking on Sat unlay so that they cannot I properly rest or enjoy the Sab bath day. Parents and chil dren ought to be more to each i other on that day than on any Other. A day of uplift and de light it ought to be made in ev ery home. THE "DRLAM" MONTH. THE FOOL'S PRAYER. "The royal feast was done; the King Sought some new sport to banish care, And to his jester cried: 'Sir Fool,; Kneel now, and make for us a prayer 1" "The jester doffed his cap and bells, And stood the mocking court before; They could not see the bitter smile Behind the painted grin he wore. "He bowed his head, and bent his knee Upon the monarch's silken stool; His pleading voice arose : 'O Lord ! Be merciful to me, a fool !" "No pity, Lord, could change the heart From red with wrong to white as wool; The rod must heal the'.sin; but, Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool ! " 'Tis not by guilt the onward sweep Of truth and right, O Lord ! we stay; 'Tis by our follies that so long We hold the earth from heaven away. "These clumsy feet, still in the mire, Go crushing blossoms without end; These hard, well-meaning hands we thrust Among the heart-strings of a friend. "The ill-timed truth we might have kept Who knows how sharp it pierced and slung I The word wc had not sense to say Who knows how grandly it had rung I "Our faults no tenderness should ask, The chastening strides must cleanse them all; But for our blunders oh ! in shame Before the eyes of Heaven we fall. "Farth bears no balsam for mistakes; Men crown ihe knave and scourge the tool Thai did his will; but Thou, O Lord ! 'Be merciful to me, a tool !' "The room was hushed; in silence rose The King, and sought his gardens cool, And walked apart, and murmured low,' Be merciful to me, a fool !' " Edward Rowland Sill. By a formal resolution the 1 iim Methodisl Uiiiich at Golurado Springs, Col., has declared thai women nuisi nut wear h.iis in dial church during services. Mrs. Bonnie Mattlock, aged 17, years, a bride of a lew months, killed herself at Shrevcport, La., because her husband, a Methodist, would not go wiih her to a Baptist Church. Rev.

A ease of ginger ale buried at the I lighlands, N. ,., during the Civil War was dug up and the stuff was said to be in good condi tion.

Macfaren, late professor of music in the Universi ty of Cambridge, England, gave the following definition of music : "Music is the art which employs sound as a medium'of artistic ex pression for what is not in the province of literature, of sculpture, of painting, of acting or of archi tecture, embodying the inward feelings of which all other arts can but exhibit the effect."

In spite of the entreaty of his friends against it, he sold his farm I and took his family to Egypt, ex- 1 pecting a special revelation from the Lord to leach him the language ; of the natives and provide for his daily bread. After nine months in the far country he has written to his friends for money tobegin life over : again. He learned some sense, but the price was high.

Nye, in his History of the United States, declared : ; New York was nfterwurd sold for $24; the whole island. When I think of this I go into my family gallery, which I also use as a swear room, and tell those ancestors what I think of them. Where were they when New York sold for $24?" The humor of this strikes deeply when one stops to consider what has been the outcome of this origi nal investment. Peter Minuit, with trinkets and a few bottles of rum, so delighted the native In dians that they gladly turned over to him the whole of Manhattan Is land, now the heart of Greater New York.
