THE OLD HOUSE.
It was snowing ! And nobody who
has not had personal experience ou the
subject, knows what a regulai New
Hampshire sr.osv-storm means.
A cloud of flying needles sharply
puncturing your face, a wind keen as
the edge of any cimetar, a white,blind
ing vail separating you from the rest of
the world—these are some of the signs
aud symptoms.
And Edgar Everly felt them in their
most merciless mood, as he stood help
lessly on the edge of a mountain cliff,
staring around him in vain search of
some familiar landmark.
'I am lost !' said he. 'Exactly—and
it serves me right. It strikes me that
I had better have staid at home and
faced Kathleen's Valeutine party, after
all.'
For, to be frank with the reader, Mr #
Everly bad ignominiously retreated be
fore his sister's gay Valentine recep
tion, to the great grief of the half doz
en pretty young girls who were sojourn
ing in the house.
'Do stay, Ned !' pleaded Kathleen
Everly, almost with tears in her eyes.
'Stuff and nonsense,' the young man
had returned, 4 a raau is always at a dis
advantage on such occasions as this.
And I never was a worshiper of old St-
Valentine. Besides, I have often won
dered what those Signal Service fnflows
did with themselves up on the top of
the mountain in winter time. They
say they'ie an awfully jolly set of chaps
if once you get at 'em.'
'Oh, Edgar, you will certainly be
lost,' said his mother, in a panic
'I ! Lost ori Silver Peak 1 That is
a good oneT cried out Everly. 'Wasn't
I born and bred under its very shad
ow ? I wonder what you will be say
ing next, you feminities !'
But the uncousciously uttered predic
tion had come true.
tie was, truly and actually, lost on
Silver Peak. No one was altogether
safe iu such a bewildering snow storm
as this, li was not such an extraordi
nary circumstance, if only he had made
allowance for it.
But as he groped blindly with his
stick, vaguely fearful lest he should be
precipitated into some unfathomable
abyss below, the ferule came in contact
with a rude stone wall ; the bleating of
young calves reached his ear.
'Aha !' he cried, exultingly ; 'now I
know where I am. It is the Old House
where Farmer Eastwood keeps his
calyes 1'
The "Old House" was a ruined farm
dwelling, built long ago, for the tem
porary accommodation of some old set
tle! who had abandoned it as soon as
possible for more commodious quarters.
It 8 t ood on the edge of a sehrubby
thicket tef pines and cedars, and no one
ever camt' uertr it- w,io could help them
selves.
But the o\vner—one Mr. Eastwood,a
prosperous farmer, who lived on a sun
ny plateau halt way down the mountain
—frequently used it for the accommo
dation of his flocks and herds when the
home barnyards were full.
♦My bovine friends,' said Everly, re
gaining bis spirits at once, k I am sorry
to disturb you, but I am as great a calf
as yourselves on this unfortunate occa
sion, and a shelter of any sort is as im
portant to me as it is to you.'
j And feeling his way to the low door
way, from which the porch had long
since mouldered away, he entered the
Old House.
Originally it had consisted of two
rooms, iu the smaller of which three or
four speckled calves were shut,and Ev
-1 erly looked disconsolately around him,
standing in the larger apartment.
MILLHEIM, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 10.J1887.
'One would freeze to death here l' j
said lie, 'Once more I will seek the help
of the hovines.'
And opening the rude pine door, he
snugged himself down among the
calves, thankful to share in their
warmth, as he wrapped his cape close
about his shoulders.
'Hail fellows well met,' thought he.
'lf they were gipsies or brigands now,
there might be something sentimental
in the whole affair. But —calve 3 ! Well,
1 may as well go to sleep. The danger
of freezing is over now.'
When he roused up from the death
like slumber of thorough fatigue, the
partition door stood open, the calves
were munching sweet hay, and,wonder
of wonders, a ruddy fire of brush-wood
and pine-cones were casting its reflec
tion on the stone walls behind him ;
and two plump, cherry-cheeked girls
sat on the floor, in front of the blaze,
talking to each other.
'l'm asleep !' thought Edgar Everly,
staring at the pretty transformation
scene which had sprung up so suddenly
in the midst of the snowy darkness.
'Dreaming ! I shall wake up presently
with ray toes and linger ends frozen
stiff I But it's an uncommonly jolly
dream, anyhow, and I'll enjoy it while
I can. What is this delirious smell ?
It can't he coffee and toasted johnny
cake, can it ? People don't smell
johnny-cake in dreams, that ever I
heard of.'
Just then a voice Lioke the thread of
his reflections.
'How nice the coffee was I It was
just like you, Rhoda, to think of bring
ing it.'
'Oh, well,' another sweet voice re
sponded, 'l've been out here before iu
a snow-storm. Somebody must go,
vou know, and Ateck is in Concord,
and father's rheumatism is worse than
usual to-night. Aud Ted, the farm
boy, is always afraid of Silver Peas
when it snows. Nothing would iuduce
him to come.'
'But weren't you afraid, Rhoda ?'
'I V echoed the lark-swoet tone.
'Wasn't I born here ?'
'My words exactly,' thought our
hero. 'I should like to come out upon
the scene and ask for a taste of that
Arabian diaught, but I might frighten
these mvjuntain fairies away if I were
to be too precipitate. I'll be patient
and b'de my time.'
'And,' went on pretty Rhoda East
wood, 'I knew it was possible we might
he detained here all night. So I brought
the matches along, and the candles and
the pail of coffee.'
'Hello !' thought Mr.Everly. 'Here's
a pretty kettle of fish ! I must come
out sooner or later. They'ie going to
stay here all night I'
'Rhoda ?' whispered a soft little
yoice.
'Well, Nannie ?' was the sweet an
swer.
'Aren't yon afraid now ?'
•Afraid ?—you goose ! What should
Ibe afraid of ?' merrily retorted the
farmer's daughter.
'l—don't—know,' slowly answered
Nannie. 'Only it's so lonesome.'
'There are the calves, you know,'
laughed Rhoda.
'Humph ! said Mr.Eveily to himself.
'And it's St. Valentine's Eve,' ad
ded Nannie.
'Well,' said Rhoda, 'what of that ?'
'They're going to have a dance up at
Squire Everly's,' said Nmnie.
'Well,and how does that concern us?'
'I should like to have gone,' said
Nannie,clasping her knees after a med
itative fashion. 'I never was at a Val
antine party. What does it mean,
Rhoda. anyway ?'
'Oil, I don't know 1' said Rhoda,
flinging fresh pine cones on the lire.
'There's an old saying, I believe, that
the first man you see on St. Valentine's
morning is your true love for the rest
of the year.'
'And no longer ?' in accents of dis
appointment.
'llow do I Know ?' laughed Rhoda.
•I never was at a Valentine's party,
either !'
'I wonder whom we shall meet going
down the mountain to-morrow ?' said
Nannie, after a brief silence.
'As it it wasn't all nonsense I' said
Rhoda.
How pretty she looked as she sat
there, with the flashing red reflections
dancing on her raven hair aud mirrored
in her liquid brown eyes !
'But one must talk nonsense some
times,' pleaded Nannie. 'We have got
to pass away the time somehow. If
we go to sleep,and let the fite go down,
we shall be frozen to death. Oh, good
gracious ! what's that ?'
Some slight, unconscious movement
on the part of their hidden auditor had
frightened the calves ; there was a sud
den plunge and outcry in their midst.
Edgai perceived that his ambuscade
was no longer possible ; lie emerged
boldly into the light.
Ladies—' said he.
'lt's a man ' screamed Nannie. 'Oh,
oh, we shall be robbed aud murdered !
Ob, oh !'
A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE.
And she clung desperately to fill id i
Eastwood.
'I beg a thousand pardons, I am
sine,' pleaded Eyerly. 'lt isn't my
fault. I'm not responsible. I couldn't
help it, indeed. lam Squire Everly's
son—from Harvard, you know—and I
somehow lost my way on the mountain.
And hearing the calves, it was the
most natural thug in the world to
come here for shelter—and I dropped
asleip, and when 1 woke up, you were
talking here. I hope 1 haven't Light
ened you very much ; but I'm almost
frozen, and half-famished into the bar
gain ; and if there should happen to be
a few drops of coffee left in the bottom
of that tin pail—'
'How stupid we are !' cried Rhoda
Eastwood, blushing beautifully, as she
poured out a gourd-shell of the fragrant
coffee, and presented it, together with
a yellow slice of johnny cake, to their
guest. 'You are very welcome at the
Old House, Mr. Everly. Sit down by
the lire. Oh, there's no fear of the
supply of pine-cones giving out 1 We
always till a bin full here eyery fall for
just such emergencies as this.'
'This is delightful !' said our hero,
thawing himself out, as it were, by the
lire. A sort of winter picture, eh ?
But, I can tell you, it came very Lear
being something serious with me. I
wanted to get away from my sister's
merry-making, don't you see ?' he add
ed, frankly ; 'and this is the sort of
doom I've brought upon myself !'
'So they sit and talked in the fire
light, quite losing sight of all stiffness
and ceremony in the cotdial fellowship
engendered by their mutual plight.
Everly was surprised at the delicate
culture and native refinement evinced
in every look and word of Esau East
wood's daughter.
Rhoda wondered how any one could
eyer have called Edgar Everly cold or
reserved ; and little Nannie Voohees,
fast asleep, with her head on Rhoda's
lap, dreamed—who knew of what?
until the chiming of the far away mid
night bells, born up the mountainside
by the strong north wind, suddenly
broke across the shriek of the tempest.
'The wind has changed. It will stop
snowing soon,' said Rhoda, quietly.
'Miss Etstwood—" said Everly.
'Well ?*
'Don't think me impertinent, but—'
'No, I don't. Goon.'
'But,' added Everly, 'we are each
other's Valentines !'
'Are we ?' Rhoda burst out laugh
ing. 'So we are—for a whole year.'
'And perhaps longer. Who knows?'
His tone was just a little sentimental
perhaps—at least it ruiijht have been, if
Nannie had not waked up just then.
'Where am I f" said she, stretching
out her pretty calico-covered arras.
'Oh, I remember now. We are snow
bound ; and I was dteaming of St.Val
entine's I).y !'
With the dawn a faint rose-tlush had
overspread the sky. Rhoda had proved
a true prophet—the storm was oyer.
And the three merrily descended the
mountain side together.
'Remember,' E lg.tr said, as he gave
a parting pressure to Rhoda's hand, at
tlie Eastwood farm-gate, 'you ate my
Valentine J'
'For a year,' corrected Rhoda, calm
ly.
'But the lease is renewable at the
year's end !' urged Everly.
And so the matter is left—to be set
tled a twelve months neuce as old St.
Valentine may decide.
'He's a good sort of a saint,' says Ml.
Everly, who is falling deeper and deep
er in love with the farmer's daughter
with every day. 'l'm quite willing to
leave it to old St. Valentine !'— Jlclen

An Exchange of Tresse3.
A funny story is being told in which
two Russian noblemen and a favorite
Parisian actress played in the principal
paits. Both of the Russians were suit
ors for the lady's hand, and both seem
ed to be equally esteemed by her. It
appears that iu Russia, as well as in
many other countries, a lock of hair is
considered a signal pledge of tender
passion, but few of the French divini
ties are endowed with profuse cheve
lures; and, if they were, the incessant
demand would soon exhaust the supply.
Mile. Alice glories in the possession of
suburn ringlets, and wouldn't part
with one of them for less than a duchy.
Her Russian admirers, the Count de
L and the Baron de M both
happened to have hair of the same gold
en hue as that of their mutual dulcinea.
Each begged a tress of her hair in ex
change for a lock of his own ; to which
the charming creature readily;assented,
I and, without touching a single turf of
her head, cunningly managed to effect
an exchange of parcels by which each
gentleman received a curl of his rival's
capillaries. The Count now wears the
Baron's hair next his heart, aud the
Baron sleeps with the Count'ssealplock
under his pillow.—Paris Paper.

IN A DUTCH PRISON.
The Penitentiary Rather an Embol
ishment than a Disfigurement.
A prison in Holland is rather an em
belishment than a disfigurement to a
town, at least such is the fine new pen
itentiary at Leeuwarden, one of the
most famous prisons in Holland, and a
model of its kind. It is completely
built of stone, brick, and iron, conse
quently fire-proof; staircases, halls, and
workshops are built with mathematical
precision and in such a manner as to
permit of constant curyeillance. The
yards are large and spacious, all the
rooms whitewashed from top to bot
tom and welt ventilated, the inner and
outer walls even bearing witness to the
proverbial Dutch cleanliness.. The
steps and passages are equally clean,
and you would look in vain for a soiled
spot or grain of dust. Not a cracked
or tarnished pane of glass can be found
in the whole building. Everything is
washed, brushed, and waxed with a
care we might well envy iu many of
our American homes.
The dormitories are regularly scrub
bed every day and well ventilated.
Their aspect is, however,curious. Each
consists of a large,whitewashed .asphalt
floored room, in the centre of which is
an immense iron-trellised cage, armed
on the inside with spikes. This cage is
divided into oyer 100 cells, each sepa
rated by sheet-iron walls ,*• each has its
bed, consisting of a thin mattress, a
pillow, a pair of sheets of coarse tex
ture, and two coverlets. Each night
the prisoners are locked in these narrow
cells, and thus repose perfectly isolated
from each other. All around the dor
mitory run iron water-pipes, with taps
fixed at intervals, at which the con
victs are supposed to perform their ab
solutions. Water is general through
out the whole prison, and is to be met
with on each story. Baths, which the
prisoners are compelled to make use of
at stated times, are on the ground floor.
The prisoner has three meals per day.
In the morning luke-warm milk and
water and a piece of dried bread ; at
midday,a soup composed of vegetables;
iu the evening, coffee and brown bread.
Sometimes fliey are allowed a small
quantity of meat,hut more often bacon.
The prisoners, however, can improve
upon this food by the money they earn.
They have, in fact, a small interest in
their work, four-sixths of which is at
their disposal, the balance being very
properly capitalized and handed to
them on their dismissal. Everything
is conducted with military discipline
in a Dutch prison,which allows neither
of 111-will or question. The dungeons,
a kinu of subterranean cells are for
the unruly, and arms for the mutinous.
No conversation is allowed between the
prisoners during hours of wsrk. Per
fect order prevails, as A rule, and at
tempts at escape are events unknown.
System in Business.
Difference Between the Human Au
tomaton and the Man Ready
for Emergencies.
System is a good servant, but a
poor master. A man who has no
thought of system in his daily life is
likely to use his time aud strength to
little advantage. But a man who
gives the chief place to system in his
daily life, is likely to limit his labors
to the routine demands of his system.
No man is of practical efficiency in life
who could not conform himself to a
system, if it were necessary. Nor is
any man of the highest practical effi
ciency who will conform himself un
varyinglv to a system. The man
who will rise at a certain hour every
morning, and will retire at a certain
hour every night, and will have his
meals at certaiu hours every day, and
will do all his work in a certain order
and in a certain way. is as valuable <
as a cuckoo-clock iu calling the hours
tor those who want to know and to
improve their, passing time. But
such a man is worth little for an
emergency, and is quite incompetent
to meet the special and extra require
ment of such exceptional days as are
continually thrusting themselves into
eyery busy man's lifetime. r lhe man
who always answers every letter as
soon as he receives it, and whose desk
is never out of order when he leaves it
at the close of the day, may be a mod
el of perfectness as a human automa
ton; but be is not the man to do the
chief thing of importance for the pres
ent hour, even at the cost of letting
matters of minor importance remain
unattended to. It is better to do one s
duty of the moment, whatever else is
left uudone, than to have one's dut\ of
the moment decided tor him by a pie
arranged programme, in spite of prov
idential calls to other and nobler ser
vice.

SOMETHING MISSING.
Unfavorable Conditions Under
Whioh a Youngf Couple Began
Houeeko ping.
Mr. Youngman married a very pret
ty and sweet little lady recently, and he
furnished a house to establish her in as
soon as the nuptials were completed,
lie was congratulating himself on hav
ing bought everything that would be
needed in the proper running of a well
organized househili, and was not a lit
tle surpi ised on the second morning
after the wedding by his wife handing
him a card on which was written a list
of articles which she requested him to
bring home when be came from work.
The list ran as follows :
Stove polish.
Hard soap.
Oatmeal.
Curtain fixtures.
Picture hooks and cords.
Coal sieve.
Rolling pin.
Dust pan.
Broom.
Stove brush.
Paper eight-ounco tacks.
Mr. Youngman reads over the list
and tries to remember that he bought
all these things when he furnished the
house, but he can't.
'Hadn't you better go down with me
and order them yourself, darling V he
says.
'No, no, dear,' she replies, 'Y'ou
can get them well enough.'
'But I might not get just what you
want,' he suggests.
'Oil, you goose,' she says smilingly,
throwing her arms around his neck
and dropping a kiss on his lips, 'you
know I'd be satisfied with any thing
you buy me.'
'I wouldu't be single again for any
thing,' mused Mr. Youngman, as he
tripped lightly down stairs.
That noon Mr. Y r oungman brought
home the desired articles and laid them
on the table, Mrs. Youngman looked
oyer the articles and said :
'Oh, Will, what did you get this
kind of siove polish for ? It isn't half
as good as the other,and this soap,why,
my mother would never have that
brand of soap in the house. How
much'd you pay for thin oatmeal V
'Twenty-five cents.'
'Twenty five cents ! Why, you can
get splendid oatmeal for fifteeu cents a
package.'
'Those curtain fixtures are an inch
too wide for the windows. I wonder
you didn't know that.'
'Oh, you got green picture cord,
didn't you ? Well. I won't use It. I
always want red picture cord.'
'That coal sieve is too coarse. It'll
let half the good coal through it. Why
didn't you think of that ?'
'That rolling pin is altogether too
heavy. 1 wanted a light one.'
'I was in hopes that you'd get a
bronze dust pan, instead of this yellow
one.'
'That broom is too heavy, A lighter
one would have doue just as well, and
it wouldn't have cost so much.'
'The nristles in that stove brush are
too stiff. I wauted a softer one.*
'Oh, Will, why didn't you get gal
vanized tacks ; these iron one 9 rust out
so quick. They ain't good at all.'
Mr. Youngman waits until his young
wife gets through, and wondering what
has brought such a change over her
since morning puts his arms around
her and says :
'What, is the matter with my little
wife V'
Her dainty head falls on his shoulder
and between the sobs that shake her
slight frame, she says :
'Wi-Will. I feel so b a-a d. I wan
ted to make some bi-biscuit this noon,
a-a-and got the wawa-water a-a-and
sa a-a't and ye-ye-yeast, but there's
something mi-mi-missing and I can't
think wha-what it is.'
Mr. Youngman smiled quietly, and
clasping his young wife to his watch*
pocket he placed his lips to her ear and
whispered 'flour.'

Budding' and Grafting.
Next to planting young trees in the
spring, preparations ought to be made
for grafting the natural apple trees and
other bearers of worthless fruit to be
found on almost every farm. The fol
lowing schedule of the modes of propa
gation adapted to different trees and
fruit bearing shrubs will be found of
yalue by novices :
Apple and pear, budding and graft
ing.
Cherry, mostly by budding, but sue-,
ceeds well by grafting, if done very
early.
Peach an d nectarine,by budding only
at the north; often succeeds by grafting
at the south.
Plum, by grafting, and also by bud
ding, if tne stocks are thrifty.
Apricot, mostly by budding; some
times by grafting.
Almond, by budding, and sometimes
by grafting.
Chestnut, by early grafting.
Walnut, by early grafting and by an
nual grafting.
Quince, by cutting and grafting.
Filbert, by suckers and layers. The
finer sorts may be grafted on the more
common, which reduces the size of the
bush and makes them more prolific.
Grape, by layers and cuttings; and,in
rare instances, grafting is advantage
ously employed for new or rare sorts on
old or wild stocks, producing rapid
growth and early bearing.
Raspberry and blackberry, by suck
ers, cutting of roots and layers.
Gooseberry and currant, by cuttings
and sometimes by layers.
To insure good work one must have
sharp tools and good wax. Ben Perley
Poore, in "The American Cultivator,"
who approves of the above schedule,
says to make the crafting wax by heat
ing and mixiug equal parts of resin,
tallow and yellow beeswax. A coat of
this wax, about one-twentieth of an
inch thick, spread oyer rausliu, calico
or flexible paper, makes an excellent
covering for outdoor graftiug,or spread
half as thick, is well adapted to root

Messrs.F. J. Cheney & Co.—Gentlemenl
have been in the general practice of medicine
lor most 40 years, and would say that in all my
practice and experience, have never seen a
preparation that I could prescribe with as much
confidence of success as 1 can Hall's Catarrh
Cure manufactured by you. Have prescribed
it a great many times and its effect is wonder
ful, and would say in conclusion that I have
yet to find a case of Catarrh that it would not
cure, i f they would take it according to direc
tions. Yours truly,
