Of men of overy caste,

And often leaves deeper stains.

To maintain mo every hour;

Dares to think of staying my power.
They often groan beneath their load,

HOW TO BEGIN.
A Story for Young Marrlod Folks.
All Grccnvillo knew Will Norton nnd
Kato Scillcy wero going to marry. In
deed, tho parties most Interested inado
no secret of tho matter. For mouthy,
lilies of snowy linen had boon steadily
growing beneath Kato's nimble Angers,
and as for Will, ho was equally busy
And, for n marvel, moat nconlo seem
ed satisfied, and agreed in saying what
a good match it was, and what a ilno
couplo they would make. Kato was so
neat and industrious; not strictly beau
tiful, but with that natural loveliness
that youth, health, and tv sweet and
cheerful temper givo to overy woman.
And ill was a steady, sensiblo young
man, with a stout heart nnd broad
shoulders, with which to push his way
in tlio world.
They both brought Into this mutual
partnership, together with tho wealth
of loving hearts nnd strong, helpful
hands, a little of worldly gear. Will's
consisted of a now nnd protty cottago
every stick of which was laid with his
own hands for ho was a carpenter
and every room constructed with an
eyo to tho comfort and convenience of
its expected mistress. Kato's dowry
consisted of n few hundred dollars, left
her by an uncle, and which was to bo
hers at tho ago of eighteen, or on tho
ovo of her marriage.
Kato thought tho best uso to put tho
money to would bo to furnish the house,
mid so go at once to housekeeping, and
Will agreed with her.
Then came tho all-important subject
of selections, for Kato had only a cer
tain amount, nnd was anxious to lay it
out to tho best advantage. Sho had
neither mother norslstor, but fortunate
ly, Aunt Sarah, n kind-hearted, sensi
ble woman, with no liltlo experience
in such mattors was on her annual
visit to her brother's house, and she de
termined to avail'herself of her counsel
and assistance.
Tho old lady had been but a few days
in tho house, but her sharp, kindly
eyes had been sufficiently observing ;
so sho was not at all surprised when her
neieo said, with n slight blush.
"I'm going to bo married next month
aunty 1"
"So IJuilgcd, from tho nppcaranco of
thing-", my dear. And, unless my old
eyes deccivo me, you will havo a good
husband. "
"Will is ono of tho best and kindest
of men," returned Kato, with a pleased
nnd happy smile. "I only wish ho was
siiro of as good n wife. You know the
money Undo Ell left mo? Will has
built n beautiful little cottago, and
think of furnishing It, so that then wo
can go directly to housekeeping. And
as I shall havo to buy a good many ar
ticles, I should llkoyour advico In ar
ranging and selecting them."
"I think your plan a very good ono
niece, and shall bo glad toglvo you any
asslstanco In my power. It will bo less
expenslvo than boarding, besides being
much pleosantcr."
Tho next day Kato showed her aunt
over tho house, which had Just been
papered and blinded. Tho lower story
contnined four rooms parlor, sitting
room, kitchen and wnsh room and
abovo threo chambers.
They looked very pleasant and con
venlent, and Aunt Sarah duly admired
them, to Kato's great satisfaction.
I shall havo enough to furnish It
very nicely," tho said, "and shall tako
so much pleasuro in selecting and ar
ranging it."
You will havo enough to mako you
very comfortably, my dear." returned
Aunt Sarah, "but you must not count
ou upending n great deal for outsldo
show."
"Oh, no aunt; I Intend to do with
things that aro plain nnd Inexpensive,
until wo can afford to havo better,
think wo will go to Brown's first.
saw soino nlco carpeting and curtains
there, that will bo such a nlco match
for tho parlor and paper, ami very roa-
sonablo they are, too."
An they wero walking along, Aunt
Sarah suggested that hofore purchasing
sho mako un Inventory of what she In
tended to get, together with tho prlco.
To this Kato agreed, though eIio wa.1
ijulto confident sho had ample means to
carry out tho plan sho had laid down.
So Kato began to select furniture
first for tho parlor, then the sitting
room, then tlio parlor chamber, Jotting
down tho prlco of each nrtlclo. They
then went homo to dinner.
Aunt Sarah had promised to mako
out n list of what kitchen furniture sho
would need, nnd niter dinner sho sat
down to redeem It. In tho meantime
Kato at her suggestion, began to add up
tho long row of figured that had been
tho rctiult of her morulnL,'a work. Hor
checks flushed as sho proceeded, nnd
tho result 8coined very unsatisfactory,
for sho wont over it twico.
Aunt Sarah not Iced hor perplexity.
"How much will you havo loft for
your kitchen furnlturo?"
"Threo dollars nnd fifty cents I"
Tho old lady smiled.
"You will havo enough to get n cou
plo of tin plates and half a dozen knives
and forks."
"I don't understand it. I thought I
had quito enough to furnish my liouso
comfortably."
'.'And so you havo, my dear ; but in
your selection you havo had your 'oyo
more to show than to comfort. I con
cluded to let you havo your own way,
but I know vory well how it would ter
minate, for you did not begin at tlio
right end."
"I don't Know what you mean, aunt."
" Why, you should havo begun with
tho kitchen, nnd thin havo secured tho
things you must havo. Then, if there
Is anything left for tho parlor, it could

Kato looked aghast nt tho list of nr
tlclcs handed her.
"Shall I need nil thoso tilings, nunl?"
"If you wish to do your work well
nnd economically, you cannot gctnlong
with less. Nover stint tho kitchen and
inako a show In tho parlor."
"I don't sco that I shall havo any
thing left for tho parlor." said Kato,
after n fow mlnuto's calculation of tho
figure before her j "tho kitchen sitting
room and chambers will tako tho entire
amount."
"And supposing it should remain un
furnished, nt least for tho present?
Thoso who como to sco you will not ob

nnd thoso who como to sco your furnl

"But then it will look so odd ; so diff
erent from what other peoplo do. Mrs.
Weston has her parlor very nicely fur
nished." Mrs. Weston was an old school mato
who had married a few weeks before.
"Yes, and I happen to know how it
was paid for Mr. Weston mortgaged
his house ; I prcsumo your husband can
do tho samo."
Kato's natural good senso recoiled at
this suggestion. "I would rather novcr
havo any parlor," sho exclaimed.
"Perhaps wo can do with less sitting-
room furniture," sho suggested, as sho
rnn her eyo over tho list of articles.
"I supposo that tho sitting-room will

"Yes."
"Then tako tho advico of an old mar.

Kato followed Aunt Sarah's advico
and never has had reason to regret it.
Fivo years later, Mr. Weston's mort
gaged liouso was sold under tho hammer
and all his fino furnituro with it.
Kato lias now a very prettily furnish

ho might master tho trado In his fath

ho learned thoroughly how to do with
hi hands all that ho has slnco had to
direct others In doing. A multltudo of
similar facts might ho cited to show
that tlio mastery of a trado Is ono of tho
best preparations for a practical life and
prosperity in business. Clerks aro of

aud aro Iws independent. In their pro

A Yankee from tho Green Mountains,
visited tho city of London. Whllo
passing through ono of tho thorough

Bomo specimens of writing paper, ox
posed for salo at a shop window. See

standing nt tho door, tho Yankco civil

NWo keep them to tlo up gape teed

"Oh, yo du du yo?" said Jonathan.
Passing down tlio street a fow steps,

"I say, mister, can you tell mo what

"Yes, sir; ho is a small dealer in pa

"I reckon ho Is n very imall dealer
and that ho Is it pharitce as well as a
scribe. Do you think ho will wriloa

"Certainly ho will."
Tho Yankco thrust his hands into ills
pockets almost up to his elbows, and
walked back.
'I say, mister, they say as how you
sell paper and wrlto letters for folks
what can't write. What will yo ax to

"I shall charge you fivo shillings."
"Will yo write Just what I toll ye,

"To bo surol will."
"Well, I guess you may wrlto to

Tho Londoner procured a pen, Ink

Mrs. Elizabctli Cady Stanton says:
Girls do not reach their maturity until
twenty-five, yet at blxleen thoy aro
wives a nd mothers ull over tho land,
robbed of all tho rights and freedom of
childhood in marriage, crippled in
growtli and development; tho vital for
ces needed to build up a vigorous und
healthy womanhood aro sapped and
perverted from their legitimate) chan
nels In tho premature oillco of repro
duction. When tho body is overtaxed,
tho mind loses Its tono and settles down
in a gloomy discontent thnt enfeebles
tho wholo moral being. Tho feeblo
mother brings forth feeblo sons, tlio sad
mother thoso with morbid appetites,
Tho constant demand of stimulants
among men is tho result of tho morbid
conditions of their mothers. Healthy,
happy, vigorous womanhood would do
moro for tho causo of temperanco than
any prohibitory or llcenso laws possibly
can. . When woman, by tho obscrvauco
of tho laws of llfoand health Is rostorod
to her normal condition, maternity will
not be a ieriod of weakness, but of ad
ded power. With that high prepara
tion of body and soul to which I havo
referred, men and women of sound
mind aud body, drawn together by true
sentiments of uffcctlon, might calculate
with certainty on a happy homo, with
healthy children gathering round their

to fccrvo each other. Reproduction In
tho normal condition of woman will

nnd thnnksglving. Ono of tho saddest
features, of woman's present condition
is her idea that sho is cursed of heaven

A Btory Is told of a German who had
taken tho precaution lo insuro tho ltfu
of his wlfo for f5,000, and his stablo for
tOOO, believing tho former might dlo
and tho latter bo burnt, nnd ho could
not get along without somu compensa
tion for tho loss. Both policies had been
taken from tho samo agent. In a few
months nftor the stablo had been insured
it was destroyed by flro. Mr. Shmldt
quietly notified tho agent, and hinted
to him that ho would expect tho $900 at
tho earliest posslblo moment. Tho
agent at onco sent a carpenter to ascer
tain tho cost of erecting a now stablo of
tho samo dimensions, having ascertain
ed that tho property had boon insured
for moro than it was worth. Tho buil
der reported that ho could replaco tho
stablo with how material for $500, but
unfortunately there was an ordinance
preventing tho erection of framo build
ings tho old stablo having been of
wood. Ho wa3 asked to cstlmato tho
cost of a brick ntable, and reported tho
amount at $700. Theagont then noti
fied Shmidt that ho would build him a
now brick stablo in placo of tho old
framo one, but Sciimidt becarao very
indignant at tho proposition, saying :
"I do not understand this insurance
business. I pay you for nine hundred
dollars, and when my stabloburndown
you mako me a new one. I not want a
now shtablo. I want nlno hundred dol
lars." Tho agent reasoned witli Shmldt,but
all to uo purposo When tho stablo was
about finished, Shmidt went to consult
n lawyer, thinking that ho could still
got tho amount of tho policy, besides
having tho new stablo. Tho lawyer,
however, informed him that tho com
pany had a right to mako good tho loss
by building n now stable, and oxprcs
sod surpriso at tho idea of bringing suit
against them.
"But," said Schmidt, "I insuro for
nlno hundred dollar, ond dls foliar put
up dem shtablo for soven hundred and
fifty, I do not uudershtaud tho Insur
anco business."
Finding ho could not compel tho pay
ment by law, ho becamo disgusted with
tho insurance business altogether. Call
ing upon tlio agent Shinidb said :
"Mr. Agent, I want you to shtop
dem insurance on initio frow. I do not
pay any moro monlsh dat way. I not
undershtand this Insuranco business."
Agent surprised. "Why, Mr.
Shmidt, you aro doing a vory foolish
thing. Vou havo paid considerable on
this .policy already, and if your wlfo
should dlo you will get $5,000."
"Yaw, dat Is what you tell mo now,"
Bald Shmidt; "Ven I pays you on my

and you not givo mo mlno monish.
You ?ay, 'O, dat was an old framo shta

How they Pull Teeth lu Elk Co.
Our liandsotno friend Blakely, of tho
St. Mnry's Gazette, has had a real old
fashioned tooth ache, and in a lit of des
peration rushed to n dentist, to havo it
pulled. The opration is thus described,
Wo had the toothacho last week. Not
ono of the good old Jumping kind, but
a regular grumbler; a kind of a dyspep
tic toothacho. Wo tried all tho reme
dies which tho ingenuity of man over
devised. Wo rammed red hot pokers
Into It; took two quarts of laudanum,
ten pints of creosote and two pounds of
mustard plasters, and wrapped them
ttround tho offending dental Ivritator.
Wo swabbed it out with Davis' Pain
Killer, and poured Into It fivo bottles of
soothing syrup, and a bushel of Mc
arath's Electric Oil. Thompson's Pitin
Killer found it purchaser in us, nnd Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup formed n
part of our culluary department; but
that toothacho stayed and stayed, and
wo wanted to swear and keep at It, Af
ter hi ring a railroader to drill a hole in
our molar, and blast it out with n keg
of Nytro Glycerine, Powder nnd Gun
cotton, without any relief, wo went to
tho dentist. Ho was at homo, and wo
wero sorry. Wo took a seat and held
on to tho chair with all tho agony of
despair: First tlio dentist chopped
round tho molar with a broad axo,thcn
ho Inserted a crow bar, and gently pried
away a quarter section of our lower
Jaw. Then ho filled tho cavity with
benzine, nnd started it burning; then,
to allay Irritation ho rubbed It off with
saiid and emery paper. Then ho got
a windlass and a log chain; then ho
fired n rovolvcr through tho tooth, and
hooked tho chain through tho hole, then
ho nailed us to tho wall, and hung a
grlndstono to each arm, nndnmlllstouo
to our foot, so that wo couldn't kick
vory much, then ho commenced to turn
tho windlass, whllo the choir sang, "sin
ners why will yo die," varied by
"Down tho Toby and up Iho Clarion,"
aud finally, after much tribulation, tho
chain broke, nnd tho tooth didn't como
out. And bo tho dentist gavo.it up as
n bad Job, and sent us a bill for tho uso
of Ids Instruments, damages done to
his log chain, and tho choral services.
And tho tootli still keeps ou aching.
And If our readsrs think our experience
as a toothlst Isn't worth recording in
tho Gazette, Just let them try to run a
paper In Elk county when there Is no
news and sco what they would do when
tho dovll Is howling for copy and there
Is nothing for him.

man who bid tho highest gained poss

bidders might gratify themselves with

of their purses. Thero may yet remain
in Babylon soino for whom no inonoy

most deformed to stand up, and after
