Two things had never been known, to fail Tom's mother—dignity and good health. She was the very personiflc.v tion of dignity in its moat imposing aspect, and so impressed was she with the value of dignity that she could not tolerate giddiness, under which head she included all exptessions of happi ness or light-heartedneaw. As for pom health she simply had no patience with it, believing, like most peisons who are blessed with good health, that it only required an effort of the will to throw off any form of illness. Now, Tom's wife was nearly as pos sible the opposite of Tom'a mother. Not but that she had plenty of dignity Of a sweet, womanly sort; but, bless you, she was anything but stately. And she was not only light-hearted and hap py, but she took no pains to hide the fact, letting song and dancing eye be tray it to the whole world. But worse than her giddiness was her lack of strength. Not that she was sickly either. She had rosy cheeks,and bright eyes, and a plump figure ; but still her back would give out some times, and then she would have to lie down and rest. How Tom ever came to fall in love with her—for he certainly did love her would be bard to tell; for Tom was nat urally 'somewhat like his mother, not only dignified and strong, but firmly convinced that his dignity was some thing to be proud of, and that his good health was due entirely to himself and quite within his own control. Still Tom was a good fellow, and Susie admired him immensely, and lov ed him quite as much as—more, proba bly—than he loved her; woman's love for a man is deeper and truer than a man's for a woman. To Tom's mother, Tom's wire was a very painful fact and a constant sur prise. Such a lack of dignity was not only unbecoming; it was shocking. She bewailed it to Tom, one day ; but Tom had replied, with a dignity equal to her own : "I would not have her different, mother." Think of it! Brought up to realize the importance ot dignity, endowed with it himself, and with his mother's grand example constantly before him, he yec could prefer a giddy, frivolous child as his wife. So be it. Mrs. At kinson thereafter became doubly digni fied, and all Susie's gentle pleasantries froze and fell lib-less before they could reach Tom's stately mother. Susie's other crime of not being strong was yet to be dealt with, howev er. When they were first married, her occasional lapses from good health had not troubled Tom, though his mother had regarded it with highminded indig nation. But after awhile, when Susie foolishly allowed her back to give her trouble more frequently, it was another thing—then Tom was worried. You see Tom was not ricli ; still as he was dignified, it was necessary to have appearance of at least moderate wealth. Anything else would have been undignified, of course. To keep up this appearance Susie must work hard and yet appear to haye plenty of leisure. It had not been Susie's way, but if Tom thought it was best,"why that was enough, and so she kept up appearances to such an ex tent that until her back refused to hold her up any loneer, she never even told Tom how tired she was. Finally she gave out one day right before Tofb, and for the first time in his life that dignified gentleman saw his wife in tears and heard her declare that she "just could not keep it up any longer." If Tom had only been sick himself once or twice he might have under stood and Susie would have had the dearest medicine a wife can have,the — sympathy. As it was, he was only surprised and pained—pained to eee bis wife so childish. "There, there !" he said, in his lofty manish way, "you rausn't give way, Keep yourself busy and It will pass away." And he kissed her aod was gone. But he was not to sweep Susie's back out of existence by any such dignified waving of his hand. Again and again, in spite offended by foolishly breaking down until at last he was annoyed and concluded to consult his mother,think ing, V9ry wisely, that as she was a wo man she could know just what to do. There is no gainsaying that Tom's mother was a woman, and she was quite sure that she knew what to do, though she received her son's confi dences at first with an icy reserve that said the matter was no concern of hers, and with a slight raising of the eye brows that said equally plainly that sbe had long been aware of what was now communicated to her. However, she unbent. "I will see Susie, if you wish me to, Tom," she eaid. "I wish you would, mother ; you can MILLHEIM, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11., 188(3. help her more than I can. You don't really think, then, she is sick V" "Not at all, Tom. A little exertion of her will and she will be quite right again." "1 thought so myself," said Tom ; "but 1 wasn't sure. You'll see her, then ?" "I'll go to-day, Tom." And so great was her anxiety to help poor Susie to overco no her silly weak ness that sh ? went at once to see her— went indeed, with an eagerness that very r.eaily marred that repose of man ner which made her chief calm to dig nity. If the truth be told, Susie was not glad to see her, for, strangely enough, what Susie admired iu Tom she despis en in Tom's mother, A fact of which that stately lady was well aware, but which, nevertheless, did not destroy the pleasure she felt iu doing good to Tom's misguided wife. "Tom asked mo to come aud see you this morning, Susie." "I did not know he was going your way," said Susie. "Take off your things. Of course you will stay for dinner." "Thank you; I cannot to day." Tom's motner was never more state ly; Tom's wife never nearer to breaking down without doing it. "Tom is yery much worried about you, Susie." Susie could have kissed her for say ing that ; for she had only just been thinking with some bitterness, that Tom did not seem to care. "And he asked me," went on Tom's mother, "to come and talk with you about it." "You are very kind," murmured Susie, gratefully enough, though she would have liked it better if Tom had talked with her about it himself. "I have no wish to be harsh," began Tom's mother ; assuming one of her uio&t commanding attitudo*. ik l know you really be'ieve yourself sick." Susie's placid look was suddenly gone. She was dignified now. Her lips closed and her brown eyes flashed. She began to understand. Tom's mother continued : "You should endeavor to control yourself. A little self control " "Do I understand you," broke in Su9ie in a low voice, "that Tom asked you to tell me this ?" "This or the substance of it," an swered Tom's mother ; "and it is only right—just to yourself and just to Tom that you should overcome these fancies. Exert your will. Look at me, look at Tom—we are never sick." Susie looked at her and believed her. No, she bad never.been sick, that was certain. But Tom ! Had Tom asked her to say this to his wife ? But this was only the beginning. Tom's mother had much more to say, aud she said it with a calm dignity that proved she had only Susie, for throughout it all Susie was not once frivolous; she did uot interrupt. Tom's mother went home lull of a peaceful calmness her dignity had not known for some time. When Tom came home that evening Susie said to him : "Your mother was here to-day, Tom." "Yes; she said she would come." "She spoke to me"—Susie's voice was very low—"about the necessity of exerting a control over my—over my— my foolish weakness." "Yes—yes, that was right. You can do it if you will, Susie. Your will has never been developed, Susie. Look at me—l never was sick." Susie looked at him. She would have hidden her face and cried ; she would rather have lain down to rest her aching back, but no—she would be gin to develop her will ; she would try and smile; she did smile. Tom had no more reason after that to complain of Susie's foolish weakness. She worked hard to develop her will and keep down any foolish desire for sympathy. She did not succeed very well at that, but when she foolishly fancied she was in agony from her back, she did not betray the fact,. Her will was not sufficiently devel oped to control her pain, but It was something that she could smile when she wanted to cry. Oh, yes, she would succeed some day. Tom often congratulated her on her success, but then he did not know how little real success she was having. Still she was failing in the important item of pain; she jus; kept stead'ly on devel oping her will. And at last she had her reward. She succeeded iu so developing her will that at last she had nothing left her but her will, and then she found that will alone would not do. She could not get up one moiniug. Tom and Tom's mother told the doc tor when he came down stairs that all Susie needed was to exert her will. The doctor looked at them and listened and knew what had happened. "Exert her will," h3 exclaimed, angrily, "make A PAPKIt FOR THE HOME CIRCLE her wiP you mean. Will ! That poor child has more will than dozens like you two. For months she has been dying in agony under your eyes, and I'll stake my soul she has not murmur • ed. Will, indeed I Man !" The doctor took Tom by the arm and said: "Tour wife is dying. Don't deceive yourself. She is dying." And so she did die, leaving Tom a heart-broken, remorseful man. Leav ing him with a siuile and a loving whisper : "1 did try, Tom, dear, but indeed I did suffer so." VALENTINES. (From the New York Observer.) Surely no reader of the Observer would ever think of sending a coarse or unkind valentine. There can be no stronger mark of bad taste than to send anonymously a missive that may offend the recipient. I have known persons who haye suffered tortures through the receipt of some foolish valentine, so called, that was sent out of sadly mis named fun, or with malice afore thought. Unfortunately in such a case, the recipient is very likely to charge the cruel act to some innocent person who would not have made such a stab in the dark on any account. Thus misunderstandings occur and friendships are rudely interrupted. It would be well if ever tempted to do anything that is calculated to hurt the feelings of any one to ask oue's self. 4 1 low would I feel if this were done to me ?' Let us bring the golden rule in to action in all these little matters of life, and we shall often avoid paining others and storing up painful memories for ourselves. And this all born in mind, I would say that the custom of sending valentines is a proper and very pleasant one. It is a pity to expend money on very costly ones, however, because the charm is not so much in the cost of the article received as in the fact that one ia remembered on St. Valentine's Day. Nor is ft neccessary to make the valentine a tribute to Cu pid simply. There are surely many lit tle boys and girls of our acquaintance who would be gratified by receiving a valentine and who aje not old enough to take serious account of its purport. Possibly by a little planning we cau so arrange matters that they shall not be forgotten. The young men and maid ens may feel that lor them it is desira ble to send to one and only one friend, but our boys and girls need not be thus limited. Especially let far-off little cousins and friends be remembered. Acquaintances who have gone to dis tint parts are often greatly pleased at receiving these tokens of love and good will from the old home. A certain lit tle grandson is not likely soon to be forgotten by a certain grandmamma, and all because last St. Valentine's day bore one of the pretty missives to the old lady, who somehow deyined or dis covered the source of her welcome gift. Any custom that leads us to think of others, that enables us to minister to their harmless pleasure, and that tells them they are loved and thoughtjabout is a good custom. Those persons are to be pitied who cannot get and give a little amusement out of it, while those who turn it to account to wound the feelings of others ought to be most se verely condemned. The Boy and th e Bull-Dog. Ooce upon a time a certain little boy observed his sister curling her hair a round a hot poker, and when he saw her golden ringlets twist up like Georgia pine shavings, what he consid ered an over-bright idea struck him. '•The folks nextjdoor say their pug is better than our bull-dog, because its tail curls over Us back so tight. I'll just curl the bull dog's tail now, and run him up and down in front of their house, and make them feel meau." So he called the dog, and heated the poker until it was almost red, in order to get a good curl. Grasping the dog's tail, he quickly wound it around the poker ; but it was not wound around the poker half as quickly as the dog was wound around the boy. He pick ed him up by the small of his back.and shook him out of his clothes, and left nothing on him but his freckles and a look of terror. The boy was then o bliged to lie in bed until his father could afford to get him a new suit of clothes, which was a month later. The moral of this little fable teaches us two things; first, that bright, origi nal ideas are dangerous iu the hands of people who don't know how to uie them, and, second, that when we ex periment with a bull-dog we should muzzle him before beginning.— Puck.

People who Travel. Sjmo Exparionooa of a Depot Master. 'For a nice, every nay, go-as-you please nuisance,' said the depot master, 'giye me an ancient and provincial wo man. lam not an old man, nor have I been tn this business very long, but I am getting gray just the same, and I believe these women are responsible for it.' 'There was one in heretheother day. She arrived one hour and a half before the train she wished to take was sched uled to leave. Five trains weut out before hers did, but she charged on the gate-keeper at every departure. You cannot get a woman to believe stand ard and local time are indentical. 1 don't know why, but you cannot.' 'Are all travelers obnoxious to you, then ?' 'No, sir. We meet with some very pleasant people I can tell you. The nicest travelers come from the East. Massachusetts or Connecticut people are refreshing to deal with. They do what you tell them, mark what j'ou say and don't repeat questions.' 'Southern people are seen but seldom around here. Those that come here are mostly of the lower classes and are ignorant in the extreme. The Western traveler is free, a trifle egotistic, but the sharpest of them all. I rather liko to have him about. Immigrants ars not at all bad to handle.' 'Any sharp practices carried on now adays about this depot ?' 'No. I think the depot sharp is a thing of the past. He is not extinct, however, any means. There are two or three of them who stand on the other side of the street and work every body who goes in or out. Canadiaua and country people are the softest prey. Eastern travelers sometimes fall into their snares, immigrants once in a great while, but a Western man,never. They are afraid of Western people, these sharps, and noyer attempt to work them.' 'As a class, which are the most pre ferable about a depot—men orwomeoV' 'Men by all means. Women are slovenly or careless, I don't know which. They throw the remnants of a luncheon on the floor without the slightest concern, and are generally more troublesome. Giye me the men every time in a waiting room.'— Detroit Journal. Evolving- a Story. 'Ah !' said Smith, a commercial traveler, to a group of friends, 'I was witness to a sight just before leaving Chicago.' And then he told how he had seen a poor German immigrant with hie wife and family of eight yel low-haired children, how he had become Interested in them, and had learned that thoy had left their native land to seek a home in the Northwest. He was touched with the tenderness of the father and saw him purchasing apples for the children. All the family except the tather had taken their seats on the train, and he was just making change on the platform for his small purchase when the train began to move out of the station. He made a rush for it, slipped, and then,before the eyes of the poor family and other horror-struck passengers, his head was taken off by the cars. Smith's friends were much affected and it was decided to take up a purse for the poor widow and fatherless chil dren, and this was speedily done and a neat sum presented to Smith to be for warded. He with tears in his eyes, said : 'My friends, I thank you, but I can conceal it no louger. That train took off the rest of the man, and he still lives.' Smith will not travel this week. He is laid up for repairs. Why Men Should Not ShaveJ 'How about shaying, Doctor V' 'lt is a dangerous habit. You can ! trace nearly every case of toothache and ficial neuralgia in a man to the habit of shaving. If all men protected their throats by chin-whiskers and the ! nerves of the face by a liberal growth, I you wouldn't hear ot half the present l ai'ments. When I was a boy I never ! heard of a case of neuralgia in the fa j cial nerves. In these days it is as com- I mon as cases of ague. Men used to wear : beards. The fashiou of to-day is meant to encourage ailments. Shaving opens • the pores of the face and inyites neu ! ralgia to step in and twitch the nerves.' ! 'Well, is that all to-day ?' •All but one thing. When a barber j invites you to have your hair cut on a i raw winter day please rise up and j punch his head—for me.'—[Detroit 1 Free Press.

The Duke of Oseouc is celebrated for tiie tunny quaint judgements and decis ions delivered by him while Viceroy of Naples. Some of tliern seeiu actuated rather by a spirit of pleasantry than by one of justice. One day the Duke had to choose a galley slave who should be literated in honor of some great festi val. lie went on board one of the gal leys, and, standing in front of the first bench of rowers, six in number, he be gan to question thcra all as to what had brought them there. The first one con tented himself by calling God as a wit ness to his innocence and protesting that he was there for no reason at all. The second said his punishment and disgrace were the work of his enemies, and not the consequence of any crime. The third protested that a crying injus tice had been done him by his being sent there without any trial. The fourth said that the lord of his village had become enamored of his wife and caused him to be sent there out of the way. The fifth declared that he come from the hamlet of Somrna, aud that he had been implicated in a robery there in which he really had had no part at all, and that all his neighbors would bear witness to his honesty. The sixth, who observed that all these excuses and justifications did not seem to please the Duke, took a differ ent tone. 'Your Excellency,' he £iid, 'I came from Naples ; and though the town is a large one, I do not believe that it contains a greater scoundrel than myself. Thev have been merciful to me in only sending me to the gal leys.' The Viceroy looked at the man keenly for some moments, and then, turning to those in attendance upon liira.said : -Let this scoundrel be re leased from bis chains ; he will corrupt all those honest men.' Then he pre sented him with some money to pro vide himself with clothing, and be sought him to try aud live a better life in the future. A Wise Boy. For an hour yesterday forenoon a woman walked up an! down the ladles' waiting room at [.the Third-street sta tion in ner efforts to hush the screams and yells of a child about two years old. The little one was hopping mad about something, and ould not be soothed by soft words or sticks of candy. There finally came a moment when everybody saw the mother's face take on a look of grim determination, and at that mo ment a newsboy who had been warm ing himself at a register broke for out doors. "What's the row ?" asked one of his outside friends as he joined them. "There's a woman in there goin' to spank her young 'un." "Why didn't you stay and see the fuu ?" "Um! 'Spose I want to be hauled up as a witness in an assault and bat tery case and have the lawyers givin' me sass ?" New England Twigs. A maiden schoolmistiess thinks that some of her pupil's compositions are funnier than anything ofMarkTwain's. From an essay on "Fashion," writteu by a boy of 12, she cites the following: 'Sensible people wear sensible fash ions, and insensible people insensible fashions.' Another hopeful of hers, writing on the subject "A Rainy Afternoon," evolved from an inner consciousness deeper than that of Josh Billings, the following sentence: 'lt rained hard, and I could not go owdoors, and so I went out in the shed and sod some wood. In a little straw frame ou her mantel is a sentence from the pen of her young est and brightest, given in answer to the request, 'Write io twenty words a definition of 'Man.'

"Well-rotted mauure"is supposed to have some special superiority over fresh. Upon investig ition it i 9 found that, what is gained one way, is lost iu a nother, and that actually some loss is incuired in the process of fermenta tion, and in exposure to the weatner. Further it is found, that nothing is lost by spreading the fresh manure as it is made. The only dififerenci be tween fresh and well-rotted manure is that tbe latter contains more soluble and available plant-food, which is de sirable when immediate results are wished for. But for top dressing wheat or rye, or as a preparation for spring crops, aud to be plowed under, the ma nure may be spread on the land now, more conveniently than at any other time. The land is uoc cut up by the wheels, and in maoy cases a sled can be used, with a great saving of labor in lifting the manure.—(American Agriculturist for February.)

Some Observations by an Unmar ried Man. The baby, according to my observa tions, is in almost all climates, anb at all seasons of the year, nocturnal in its habits. It is also diurual a good share of the time; but this, or course, is a fact not worth mentioning. Unlike the young of most other spe cies, the baby does not recognize any parental distinctions, but will lament as bitterly while riding on the paternal arm at the witching hour of midnight as wheu clasjied tenderly to ttie moth er's bosom at sunny midday. Its sole creed and language is a cry; and no Christian or heathen ever lived up to a creed with more conscientious fidelity than does the baby. The baby is not partial to paregoric ; that is failing of its parents. For it self, the infant would much prefer la mentation between meals to sleep. But there is a limit to all things, and, thank heaven! paregoric is cheaper than endurance. Judging .'from my personal exper ience, a large share of the bady's early life is passed on the cars. I do not know that I eyer entered a car without fiuding a baby ahead of me. I always brace myself for the wail the minute I open the door, and nine times out of ten it is here. The car may be full of passengers, but for ail practical purpo ses it is occupied entirely by the infant. It is my firm conviction that babies do not like to travel. I may be mistak en, for I base my judgment entirely up on appearances, but I have never yet seen a baby who "seemed to be perfect ly satisfied with the arrangements pro vided for the comfort of the trayeling public by railroad corporations. ' Why under these circumstances, ba bies should be compelled to trayel I cannot comprehend. Perhaps it is be cause their fond but unselfish parents wish the world to share with them the winsomeness and loveliness of infancy. I belieye this is the explanation usually given py conductors. But there is one disagreeable featnre about babies—l will not say which one; some people think it is the nose, oth- era me nair. However that may be, you are expected to admire tbe little just as much as if they were really beautiful. The fond mcther will never forgive you if you don't say something real sweet about her cherub. You must disguise your real sentiments, and deal in veneered platitudes of the too-sweet for-anything and perfectly-angelic stamp. Dou't likeu the iufaut to its father, especially if that gentleman is slightly bald and is just beginning to cultivate a sunset tinge at the top of his nose. Say that the babe resembles its mother, and you are safe. If you add that it is a remarkably charming and beauti ful child, you are in a fair way to re duce your board-bill by becoming a fre quent guest at the house of the little straDger. The best way to get along with ba bies is to remember that you were one once yourself. Your nose was just as red and inde terminate as that; your bair was just as scanty aud colorless. You also bawled from morning till night and from night till morning, and yisited the lotosland of slumber only by •the perfunctory path of paregoric. You pulled the paternal hair and pounded the paternal eyes with your little fists. You kept the whole house awake with the ebulitions of your empty woe ; you sucked your thumbs and your toes and your bottle like all the rest of them: But you are grown up, and the pres ent is not. That is the difference.— [Puck. "NOBODY KNOWS." •I don't know,' is a frank answer and often the correct one, as the following anecdote illustrates : The late Prof. Sophocies of Harvard University, a native Greek, was a man of great learning, and a volumnious author. He was a man of whom schol ars heard and read more and knew less than of any other distinguished person in the whole country. He lived aloue, cooked his own meals, and got up many queer dishes. He was something of a wit, and knew how to wake up students, though he was not a thoroughly successful teacher in the school room. It is said that in a class room he ask - ed a student what was done with the bodies of the Greeks who were killed at Marathon. 'They were buried, sir.' j 'Next.' 'Why, they—they—were burned.' 'Next.' 'l—l—don't know.' 'Right I Nobody knows,' answered the professor. —VALENTINES 1 The finest line of Valentines—and the cheapest too for that matter—just received at the JOUR NAL store.
