Tlie Chalkley Styer  Farm.  Whitpain Old Puter Conrad rUiDtutlon,
This is one of the original homesteiuis of Whitpain and ia on tlie sontlifni border of that townsliip, half a mile north of Narcissa, The snr&(% alojiea to tlie westward from i^andy llill towards the adjacent lowlands of riyinoutli. Tlie generai nature of the soil is a sandy loam ill a hi(:Ii .state of cultivation. Two high¬ ways border the farm and one iiitersei-ts it, or rather two interri<;ct it. as one field is northwest of the road to Blue Bell. Tlie farm buildings are of modem con¬ struction. Formerly tiiere were al least three old houses on the premises, of which one is yet standing near the Blue Bell road, and anotlier existetl until very recently. The latter lia<l an antique ai>- pearance, thongli ono end bore the date of 1S08, and was built by Peter Conrad. Possibly the other portion was the original home of the pioneer. This stood a few hnn'lri-(] yards eastward of the present farm buildings. Here was a fine spring of water, and doubtle.ss here the original settler dwelt. Another old house stooi where the latter now stands. The present farm is composed of several pieces, •SJ that its hii5tory is not easy to relate.
Tiie wife of Ch'alkley Styer is ihe fourth in descent from Peter Conrad, who bought the property in 170-").
Among the earliest owners here was a Welshman named Hugh Jones, who in 17-'S s<jld to William Koberts, another Welshman, and probably a (Quaker, 200 acres. The recitals of later deeds s:iy that Itoberts in 1741 received a patent from Thomas Penn for IO-') acres. His lands covered the jiresent Styer farm, a part of the Stockdale and Dullield farms, that oecupietl hy Mr. Ixinc;, the Weidner farm and all lands down to the Plymouth road and out to Sandy Hill. It is tliought that Koberta made the first improvements. His lands became lessened hefore his death, in 1749. Fifty acres had been sold in 1748 by his .son, .Io.seph Koberts, to Henry Conard, comjirising the north corner, and in I7:)8 three acres were sold by himself to the same party. In his will of 17411 he devi.sed his remaining l.'iO acres to his son, .Jacob Koberts.
Peter Conrad was one of several sons of Henry Conrad and Catharine Streypers, one of the pioneers of Whitpain.' His wife was Hannah Wood. They had cliildren, Tacy, Kachel and Catharine. < If these, Tacy married Joim Styer, May 10th, 1787. Jtachel died young. Catha¬ rine, born May !l, ]77(i, married Caleb Kvans, December 13, 17".I8, and died September 5, LSll. Peter Conrad was the owner of the farm during the Kevo- lutionary period and on down till the close of the last century. He was a black¬ smith by trade and was a«ses.seil for 110 acres. His will was made April 10, 17'.'4. His daughter Cath.irine, wife of Caleb Kvans, and Jolm Styer, husband of his daughter Tacy, were made executors. The pro|)erty went to the.se two daughters in nearly eijual portions. Catharine Kvans got fifty-nine acres of the lower or south¬ east part, on wliicli stood the original house, whilst Tacy .'<tyergot fifty-six acres on the upper part, on which are the pres¬ ent farm buildings.
Coming down another generation, in 1S;U Tacy Styer conveyed her .'¦hare to Charles Styer", father of the pre.sent own¬ er. The latter was born July 27, 1797; married Hannah Kolierts in'l82H, and died July 27, l,S.5<i, He h.id children, Isaac, Chalkley, John, Tacy, Kachel, I.ydia, David and Charles.

PLEASANT COMPANIONS.
The Snbject iut Trcatnl by Miss Lena Hiv- ers Iteck at the Comineiiceiiieiit Exerciaea of Ambler Public Schoolit.
Kvery intelligent person i.-i t<idav im¬ pressed with the great advantages 'to be derived from reading. The man 01 no culture, has he devoted much of his time to reading.' So. The man of high ciri- ture, has lie sjient his sjiare momentB with Ijook in hand? Yes. Ix)ok at the poor, unlettenxl rustic. He has never been taught to read or to think. He cares for nothing but the slow routine of agricultural life. The distant and tbe pa.st are to him a i-omplete void.
.Vow let ua look at the accomjiliahed man af letters. He sits in his quiet study, surrDimdetl by walls of booka on every subject. He takes one of th^e books and begins to read. He soon be¬ comes so absorbetl in its contents that the objects around hini fade from his senses, and his soul is raj)t awav into distant regionB, or into bygone times. Tt may lje a book di«c.-iptiveof other lands, and he feels himself there, living the life that is lived there. If the b<x)k be a history, he will bt; heartily entering the struggles of his forefathers. Truly, "Books are windows through which tiie soul looks out."
All di.stinguiahed men have l)een in the habit of conatant reading, and it is through this habit they have gained their distinction. Bacon says, "Keading makes a full man ; conversation, a ready man ; writing, an e-xact man." What he means by "full" can never be attained excej)t through a thorough acquaintance with Iwoks. In order to compare the preaent to the past we must travel through the history of other times. To have the mind vigorous we must refresh and strengthen it it by a continual contact with the mighty dead, who have left their inijierishabie thoughts behind them. Tliese thoughts are to our minds aa food to the blood.
The object of reading may be divided into several branches. Some people, students e.si)ecially, read for amusement, for a departure from more severe studies. S<jme read to gain knowledge for future use.
The great number of books with which we are surroundetl makes us sometimes ask. What am 1 to read .' Kver since the days of Moses, men have been writing txjok.s, i»n<l now the crowd of eager authors is becoming alarming, and in a few years the man who has mad<! no at¬ tempts at authorship will liea curiositv rarely t<j be found.
The true method of selecting s<mielhing to read may be stated in two abort rules : Firs', read the one or two great standard works in each department of literature ; and second, confine reading in that de¬ partment which best suits us. These two stejis would tend to make us achieve in literature what John Stuart Mill .says every stuilent should achieve in the do¬ main of universal knowleilge, namely, "The knowing something of everything and everything of something."
First, the book that you select must interest you. It must have the jxjwer of calling into play the mental faculties. Shakspeare says ;

Hints for Keeping Cool.
It is very much as one looks at it whether one ie to Buffer or enjoy most during the summer. Fretting and fidget- inn and violent fanninz add to one'a dis¬ comfort. To go right on with one's work and neither think nor care for the heat, often enables one to forget it, and if the mind be only held superior, the body does not so niuch mind being too warm or too cold. .Some foolish people actually fuss aud fume themselves into fevers, when summer is reigning in her bounty, ripening fruits and grains, and giving us her splendid skies and sunsets.
To keep the house cool in .Tuly, air it thoroughly in the early morning, then close the windows and screen doors, and darken bedrooms and parlors. A dark, cloaed room will be comfortable at mid¬ day. Select a cool window, or a corner of the veranda, and carry your books and sewing there, or establish yourself under a trte. Eat cold dishes and ripe fruit. Fan moderately. Do not drink Huantities of iced water. Do not let your¬ self be annoyed or vexed with any one. Bathe at least twice a day, and think pleasant thoughts.
A lawn party ia charming for a late afternoon in summer. Invite your friends to come from 5 to 8 o'clock. Spread rugs on the grass, and bring out some small tables and rockiugcliairs. For refreshments have lemon sherbet, sponge-cake, ice cream, snow-pudding, iced tea or coffee, thin sandwiches, or anything else yon like. Play lawn tennis or croquet, or any other game yon choose.

of William MakepjaceThackeray: ".Might I give counsel to any young hearer, I would say to him. Try to ir«iuent the company of your betters ; in books and life that is the most wholesome society ; learn to admire rightly; the gn-at pleas¬ ure of life is that. .Note what great men admired; they admired greut things: narrow spirits admire basely and worship meanly."
The next (piestion that arises is. How shall we read'.' There are sevenil distinct .steps to lie considered in the method of reading. Before you begin to read a biok know something about the author. How much more interested we are in a IxHjk if we know the author than if he is an entire stranger to us ! We imagine we hear his voice and see the scenes around him. When we read the life of Burns and see how sorely he was lo.ssed by passion and mischance, what a depth of pathos api)ears in tliese lines :
Then gently scan your brother man,
Slill gentler sister woman : Though they may gang a kennin' wrang.
To step aside is human.
One point musi still be greatly dark,
The moving why they do il; Aud just as lamely can ye mark
Uow far, perhaps, they rue it.
Who made the heart, tis He alone
Decidedly can try us ; He knows each chord—its various loue.
Each spring—its various bias.
Then at the balance lei's be mule,
We never can adjiLst it; What's done we partly may compute.
But know not what's re8iste<l.
Head the preface carefully. In a pre¬ face the writer describes his motives for writing tlie book and his reasons for mak¬ ing it what it is. Surely this is essential to the full enjoyment of the boik. Look carefully over the table of contents. It gives us a plan of what is to follow. It is like the map of a journey we are to take showing through what tracts we are to pass, and to what destination it will lead us. We should give our whole attention to whatever we read. In order to thoroughly understand the b<xik, we must Iilace ourselves in the position oi the writer and closely follow his plans.
I^istly, we mnst remember what we re.id and apply it to our daily duties. I think if we all would master the roll ot great English writers,Shakspeare, Bacon, Milton, Scott, Carlyie and Emerson, x\e would derive a vast amount of lienelit from them. Ix;t us not wa.ste our spare moments in idle occupations, but let us siiend them with liook in hand, and I tliink they will prove to be very plea-sant companions to us all.

L>okin<r back we see our happy childhood and schooldays : looking forward we see the veiled future. AVe know not what it has in store for us, but let us go forth to meet it bravely.

delphia, making weekly trips ami stop¬ ping at this inn. General (>acey men¬ tions the "Springhouse Tavern" iu his despatches of 1777, and the name is also mentioned in a report ofa raid made hy the British in 1778. Of course General Washington made bis headiiuarters here. The patriot leader never could have passed the o()en door, with the great fire leaping redly within and the o<lor of "broilers" w'afted through, without dismounting from his famous white charger aud making his headijuartera at leaat for oyer night.
Christian Dull succeeded Benjamin Davia aa innkeeper and waxed mightily in the laud. He came from Perkiomen way aud moved to the Sprinijhouse in 1772, where a few years later he was rated as owning a tavern, eiiiht acres of land, a horse and a cow. Bot Christian Dull was an ardent patriot and when the Revolution outihimed he raised sup¬ plies, obtained a captain's commission and got himself much misliked by his neutral neighbors. .So, no sooner did the war close than slander was busy to ruin bis reputation and business. In the Philadelphia Gazette of 17S3 mine host Dull in.serted an advertisement, offering a reward of 100 guineas for the author of a report that "he was privy in rolihing a collector." Some of the disatlected neighbors while attending the I'hiladel¬ phia market reported that Innkeeper Dull and his wife had been guilty of cutting the throats of more than one traveler who had stopped at their hoose for their valuables. To thia Mr. Dull replied by another advertisement olfer- ing another reward. Thase malicious reports, of course, damage<l business, but Christian Dull throve and outlived most of his enemies, cloeing his career as a landlord in 1822.
After that another and larger hotel was bnilt near by and the original Springhouse was not much longer the social focus for the life of the country round. For the last twenty-five years the inn haa been part of the Hallowell estate and has now 'tween enlarged to serve as a more commodious dwelling honae. The rough stone walla were nearlv two feet thick; part of the weath- er-wo'rk shinglint; of the roof had been undisturbed for more than a cen¬ tury, and the eqnare-shonldered, sturdy old  chimney,    fashioned    of    pick-up
Interesting KemiiiUcencen of this Ancient Tavern, the WttlU of Which Uave Just Beeu DeuiolisheU.
Workmen have torn away the massive walls of tbe "Springhouse Tavern," the oldest shelter for man and beast in the country round, aud probably, next to the Blue .\nchor Inn on Djck atreet, Philadelphia, the most ancient inn in this country. Indeed, Us beginnings are lost in a fotr of local tradition, and the oldest inhabitant of Gwynedd township never heard from his grandfather just when the tiret cask of ale was tapped iu the Springhouse tavern. It ia certain that in 1093 the low-raftered house wa." the popular resort for the wagoners and travellers on the pike ruad,a!id the nusli- ing spring in the cellar was known for miuiy miles for the sweetest, coldest water that evertempted adtisty-lhroated pilgrim to forsake the foaming mug of stronger brew.
Until two months ago the house had been occupied as a tavern and dwelling for more than 200 years without a break in the succession of dwellers therein, Indeed, half a century ago, the tavern was used as a school house fcjr a time, and one old man of the neighborhood says that in his boyhood seventy chil¬ dren learned the "three R'e" ia the old place. They must have beeu wee and precocious youngsters, for it would be dillicult to pack seventy infants in long clvthes in the little tap-room down¬ stairs.
Springhouse is a bit ofa hamlet a mile baek of Penllyn, on the North Penu brancli of the Beading, about seventeen miles from Philadelphia, conaisting of a hotel, a store, biack smith ahop and a few dwellings, whoae back yards stretch away into billowy acres ot farming lanJ. On the hills around are many tine sum¬ mer houses owned by wealthy Pliiladel- phians ; but Springhouse proper is clus¬ tered about the fork of the roads that lead, one from Bethlehem to German- town, and the other to Allentown and to the hamlets of Three Tuns and Hor¬ sham. Another tavern at Springhouse dated back to 171f>,and flourished until destroyed by fire eight years ago, Bul the original inn witli the springhouse .is a part ofthe building had been standing for many years before this respectably ancient date.
The house was modest, to say the leatt. The main room below stairs was not more than twenty feet equare, raf¬ tered with rough-hewn logs cut from the forest, that were sound at heart. The fireplace in one corner was made from rough stone slabs, gathered from the fielda, and blackened by the sfioty layers of two centuries of huge back logs, and the fat savors of broiled rashers and the steaming burden of the crane. There was one room upstairs, an attic with a steep pitch of walls where the roof peaked and two multi-paned windows at the ends. Back of the main roorn was the springhouse or cellar, and above it a small room, entrance to which was made by a short stairway and a low opening, throngh whicii the guests mnst have crawled on hand.s and knees with can¬ dlestick held high. The upper story could only be reached hy this awkward ascent, and a bibulous royster, overtaken in his cups, must have elected to sleep by the fire rather than attempt this laborious journey.
The tavern was not intended for use aa a sleeping placo. Food and drink, the pleasure of talk and the cheer of a welcoming blaze were furnished, but the guests for the most part were the farm¬ ers and teamsters who were en route to the Germantown market; with their hnge Conestoga wagons, produce laden. Tliese hardy forefathers slept in their wagons and their lumbering arks were drawn up in long lines before the tavern in market time. Most of the farmers carried their provisions with them and ate in the open air, along rough tables furnished by the h-ndlord. Iu October, 1804, Alexander Wilson, the ornitholo¬ gist with two companions, on a walking tour from Philadelphia to Niagara Fails, stopped over night here,and in his poem, "The Foresters," gives thia acconnt of the place:
Stie'Si¥i,>%ft5,rt«Lttl''„W}«ftfi^e6'l«^./,a* Tili in the iveat thu iiay b^'gan lo close, .\n(i ISpringhouse tavern furnished us repose. Here two long rows of market folks were seen, Ranged frnni to frout the table placed  belween. W'here bags of meat and Iiones aotl crusts of
bread. And crusts of hacou all oioand were spread. One pint of beer from lip to lip went roimd, And  scarce  a  crumb   the   hungry   house-dog
louud: Torrents of Dutch from every iiuarter came. Pigs, calves and soiir-crout the important theme. While we, on future plans resolving deep. Uijchargel our bill and straight retired to sleep.
Wilson emphasizes the frugality of the Pennsylvania Dutch farmers whom he met hero, bul it is probable that he saw them on tlieir way to market, anil had he fallen in with the "two long rows of market folks"' at Springhouse on their way back, their capacious pockets lined with silver shillings, one pint of beer would not have gotten further than the tirst lip.
The Bethleliem pike originally ran a full half mile from the Springhouse tav¬ ern, but the spring itself was so neces¬ sary for horse aud man that the road was shifted to run close by the inn and its ever-flowing fountain. Until the North Penn railroad came through the region, in ls.3.'i, this place was an im¬ portant cenire of travel, and the long stone barns for stabling at the cross roads show that Springhou.se was a flourishing rendezvous. In ItJi'^i John Humphrey settled at tbis place, and the Friends held their first meeting. Men¬ tion io made of a road from the stone springhouse to the Pennypack mills in 1702, and soon after the road was ex¬ tended from Philadelphia by this place to the (iwynedd meeting house, a mile mile and a haif distant.
Soon after pike roads were opened from Springhouse to Richmond, lo Horsham meeting house, and the tiosh- enhoppen or Sumneyto-sm road was constructed in 1745. Bethlehem began to be a town in 1731, and travel from the Lehigh river aud from Allentown to Philadelphia, was centered in the road passing by the Springhouse. The old records show that Benjamin Davis kept the tavern from 1758 to 1772, and in .'Vpril, 1750, Daniel Knuckler, on his way from Bethlehem to Philadelphia with six Indiana in hi.« charge, mentions stop¬ ping here. The first stage line passing through the present country was started in 17ii;i, between Bethlehem aud  Phila-
stones, had laughed at the gales of 200 years.
The chief claim of tbe Springbouaa has been that it was almost tbe only cb« of the very old taverns about Philadel¬ phia that had not been improved or altered since the flrst stones were laid.— Philadelphia Press.

Kdiiratlonal Process in Montgomery.
County Superintendent R. F. HofiTeck- er, of Montgomery, haa received reports from all theschool diatricta in the coun¬ ty, showing general progress in educa¬ tional work. Twenty-five diatricta have re-elected the former corps of teachera and salaries have been increased in Chel¬ tenham, Rockledge, Whitemarsh, Con¬ shohocken, Pottstown, Lansdale, Nar¬ berth and Souderton. The school terms were lengthened in Upper Hanover, MarllKjro and Frederick townships, leav¬ ing New Hanover, Franconia and Salford tokviisUips the only districts with the old- time terra of six months. The school board of Whitemarsh has decided to cre¬ ate a high school grade, to be adopted in the Barren Hill, Fort Waahingtonand Spriug .Mill schools, with a three yeara' Course. West Conshohocken has added a grade to its high school cnurse and the principal will have an assistant teacher. Liwer Gwynedd, Worcester, Whitpain and Perkiomen have sunk artesian wells for drinking water to replace the old- fashioned Country well, which, being un¬ used nearly half the year, become reeer- voirs for poisons. Improv«Hl iron-framed furniture has replaced the antiijuated bench aud long desks in eyery district except two.
Shunld l'se Wide Tires.
