W a will venture to say thataccordingto tht

Oh for the time wheu we can throw up

about eighteen boys and men have said
they would join it. Eighteen is enough
though as many can join as wish. Why
not go ahead now, have a mectiDg, buy
balls and bats and start the fun? All
other towns have bac ball clubs. Scot
land Neck, a few years ago, had a fair
club for a town, but that club last year
wasn't much, why? Becans-e they seldom
practiced together. They let clubs
all around beat them. There was but lit
tle interest taken in it. No practice. Now
let's have a good une. The editor of this
paper will join anything like a bae ball
cluh even if he is assigned ttie humble
position of a silent spectator of the games.
Come one, come all, young men, and join
the base ball club. Let's beat Dawson's,

trunk being round and without a scar or

branches five of which bear one year and
the other three the next year. Mr. Hotch-'

five branches eighty-five bushels of fruit,

A Reflection.
The busy whirl of life with its din of
checkered scenes now and then is hushed
for the hearse, with its nodding plumes,
to pass us by as it bears away to the last
resting place some fellow mortal who has
paid the debt' and closed eyes forever on
the scenes of this life. We turn aside from
business and from pleasure to follow tht
mournful procession, and see the loved
form of a friend or companion laid in its
narrow cell to sleep the sleep that knows
10 waking. And as we see the coffin lid
closed, and hear the hollow rumbling ol
he cold, dank clods as they cover away
the dear one to rise no more till the resur
rection morn, we realize for a moment that
this life with all its greatest pomp and
splendor is but 'an empty bnbble.
And as one by one all turned away
.'rom the sad place and file into line to go
back to the world to engage, some in its
business, some in its pleasure and some ii
its meanness, we are impressed with tht
solemn truth that even the fondest memo
ry has sometimes laded snots. At first
this casts a shadow pver us to think thai
jye must all one day be thus Sdion forgot
ten, but after all it is better far that wt
io forget sometimes these scenes of sad-
ipss, or else life would lose its charir.
and earth would all be drear. But what ?
ooon it is to the care worn soul that thcs.
aeiaories do return some-times as the
sweet remaliidcr of the beauties in the
..l.firncter of thoae deuaried ones. Bui
these sad memories are too sacred to b
abbled to tl world, and so must be
ept in the quiet chambers of the sou
uid breathed out only in the stilly houi
jf prayer when no one can. see but th
dispenser of mercies and the giver o
gifts.

In the third Democrat that wo got out,
we clamored for having the stores, dr3'
goods stores, closed at dark. (Beg pardon
we don't mean that we had it done.) Our
merchants have at last consented to it,
and have signed in agreement to that ef
fect. This is certainly one step well tak
en, because those who trade can come
sooner, and the clerks, who heretofore,
have been compelled to ttay ia store till
halt past ten, we suppose, can now ha ve
some more rest and freedom. But there
is one other thing which closing stores at
eight may indirectly bring about wt
mean a Literary Society or a Debating
Club, or something of that sort. Wt
can all spare one night in a week, the la
dies too, from rest to attend a meeting
of such a club. Let us have it. We cer
tainly ought to have it

Editor Democrat: If you will per
mit me to consume a short space in the
Democrat, I will again make a few
remarks concerning bangs, which
the girls don't appiove, I hope they
will give a few minutes of careful thought.
A few years ago when bangs were un
known, young ladies were the possessors
of such sweet, innocent and loving ap
pcarances that youug men were always
eager to De in their society, and as the
girls did not object, I guess the boys were
only too willing to spend most of their
time in company with them. Was it
strange that the tolling of wedding bells
was an almost daily occurrcnoe ? How
different they were from the girls of to
day with their beautiful hair cut and worn
in such a style that not only lessens their
beauty but hides the most prominent part
of the head which gives them a very
haughty appearance, therefore a boy who
is not well acquainted with a girl is al
most afraid to talk with her, and as to
proposing to her he would sooner be dis
charged from the muzzle of a cannon, thus
you see, bangs cause many noble young
men to become sordid old bachelors and
many brilliant young ladies to become
sour old maids. (The above is not only
my opinion but that of many other" )
Now girls, let me entreat you to give this
bangs question a careful consideration. I
admit that bangs are pretty, but the beau
ty of that portion of the face which bangs
screen is so much superior to that of
bangs that only those whose beauty has
been injured by misfortune are excusable
for wearing them.
In my opinion the bangs custom is on
ly second to that barbarous one of punch
ing holes in the ears How a girl can
uave holes punched through her ears and
not flinch and still caauot bear lor a splin
ter to be picked ti'hic'.i his not goue
through the skiii with oat keepmj a.-;
much Koise as a saw mill is a misu-ry be
ond my comprehension. Now girls lot
these two customs be a fashion past As
I have before remarked bangs i;jy have
no influence- in decreasing marriages trieii
what is the cause of tlii decrease j1 Lj it
oecause a young man cannot support a
.vife? No prosperity was never greater
ban at the present time. Is it because
ii Is and boys prefer to live maids and
oachelors? 1 think not. (Will Miss M.
O. please answer.)
SiiesaysC.C.S. wants bangs pushed
isddeso he can better ins chances in mar
riage. Miss M. N. O. is mistaken, it k
not for my sake that I wish bangs to be
ibaudoned for I am already mortgaged.
t is my sympathy for those creatures who
vear bangs and want to get married, and
lot to better my chances,for as stated be
fore,! am aheady engaged and must stick
uu. barn's or no oangs. u. o.

Yes it was pouring down rain last Fri
day, but what difference did that make?
Dr. Iluf ham came for me, as he would
iiad the morning been clear and bright.
However much I disliked to get my new
coat wet, I couldn't bear for a mm of the
Dr-s. age to back' me out. I went on
very bravely until we reached the first
reek. I looked at the deep, dark waters
and then turned my eyes wishfully to the
Dr., but he would npt say a word about
turning back, lie only answered my
longing look by saying. 'Can you swim?"
I took it. I had to. Well we reached
farboro, and I was glad to find that I was
not drowned. At8i P. M. Kev. C. A.
Woodson preached the introductory ser
mon, which was a model of practical Chris
tian thought. Saturday: Rev. A. D.
Cohen's exegesis, Romans 8 : 29, 30, was
the plain teaching of the Bible upon that
oft discussed but irreconc iiable doctrine.

Rev. J. A. Leslie gave a very clear and
impressive paper on 'The Relation of the
church to the Sunday School.' Every
word he uttered was to the point. As
soon as he was through, it was unanN
mously voted that the paper be sent to
the 'Biblical Recorder' for publication.
Several short speeches followed on tht
same subject, and much interest was man
ifested. At night we had a sermon by
;tev. A. D. Cohen Suuday moauing, a
very interesting Sunday School Mass
