Henceforth sho said her feet must tread

Of peaceful calm In toll and strife,
Of voiceless self-denials.

Ayouno rtiitie in Albany, named
Knox, saw a placard, "Linen Drilling

went In and purchased ten yards, the

fifty cents per yard. Taking tho parcel,
ho handed the clerk two dollars and a

Clerk-'MIow is tills, my friend'.' You
havo not given 1110 enough."
Knox " How In thunder do you
maku that out; dld'nt you mention that
tho price of thcao goods was only llfty

Clerk "To he sure I did; and you
asked I'or ten yards at that prlco, so that
your bill Is llvo dollars."
Knox "I'll bet my bill ain't llvo
dollars. Look at that sign board, young
man; don't it say 'Linen Drilling at

this 'eru pleco I chosu was llfty cents a

Tho proprietor was called, but tho
rustle could not bo argued out of his

tho young man allowed to travel with

that peoplo who keep shop should bo

u had Intended somo tlmo ago to
again pay our respects to tho author of
thu "Itock Creek llrldgo Story," jmh-
lshed In tlm Athens Gleaner, concern.
lug thu origin of Pennsylvania's title to
tho nauiu of "Keystone State;" hut tho
conviction that a very fuw persons would
attach any iinportntico to tlio story led
us to postpone our reply to a convenient
season. His seven columns of labored
argument, so far from proving Pennsyl
vania received tho title of tho "Key
stone State," from the symbolical let
ters 011 tlio keystone of tho thirteen
blocks comprising tho arclt of tho bridge
over Hock creek, in tho District of Co
iumbla, shows that sho already hail that
title, and that the Individual who eon
strncteil thehridgosawin thecxact num.
her of blocks comprising tho arcli a lit'
ting opportunity to symbolize tlio idea
Ills argument to prove that Pennsylva
nia was not recognized us thu "Key,
stono" lu our national symbols, has no
bearing whatever on tho question, for
thu reason that theso symbols wero do
signed to represent union and equality,
and any reference to tlio superlorcondl
lion of any Stale would havo been Inap
propriate.
Another mistake of tho writer is In
supposing tho naiiio "Keystone'' to bo
a Federal symbol. Such is not tlio case.
Pennsylvania claims for herself tho ti
tle of "Keystone" precisely as Mai-sib
cliusotts claims to bo called thu "Day
State," Now Hampshire tho "(iranlto
State," because of some distinctive po
eullarlty belonging to'.thenuclvcs exclu
sivoly.
i.oug uoioro our revolutionary era
tho arch and its keystone wero symbols
of union and strength. Ilenco tliu idea
fastened Itself upon thu minds of Pent!
sylvanlans that our State occupied tho
position of tlio keystono to tho Union.
Thero are many incidents in our history
well calculated todovclopo this idea. At
tlio tlmo of tho ndopllon of tho Declara
tion of Independence, Pennsylvania
was tlio dividing Sluto between North
and South, thero bcliiy six on cn-li sldn
0f icri
In tho Congress of Independence tho
representatives of tho Colonies sat In a
semicircle around tho Speaker's chair,
Pennsylvania occupying tho centra of
tho arch ; sho was also tho last of thlr-
ton States to vote, and thus resembled
tho keystono of tho arch, which Is nl.
ways inserted last and without which
tliu arch could not stand. These well.
known facts undoubtedly present them,
selves to tho minds of many, and tho
title of "Keystone" gradually worked
lis way among tho people, until It final
ly became an acknowledged title by ev
cry one. Tho builder of tho Hock Creek
llrldgo no doubt heard thlsoft-repcatcd
expression, and very appropriately
symiiolizud it upon thu hntlgo hu was
building. Tho fitness of tho expie-.slou
has been recognized by thousands of
public speakers In all parts of tlio Statu
for over half a century, not 0110 of
Whom probably ever beard of Kocl

Asido from tho historical facts wo havo
given in regard to tlio geographical po
sltiou of thu Slate and the position of
its lepreseutativcs in tlio ltevolutlona
ry Congress, we havo traditional tcstl
tiiony which helped to create a sponla
neom sentiment In tlio midst of her
people, that sho was lu a still higher
sensu thu keystono of tho arch. In tlio
old Episcopal cliuich-yard in Cheater,
Pennsylvania, lie tho lemalnsof .Ittdgo

lowing inscription:

This monument wtis erected hy his
near relatives, somo of whom wero Hv
ing when ho died. No one will deny
that tlil-s inscription expresses tliutradl
Hons or our ilovolutlonary period as
handed down to them by him. Tho
men who signed tho Declaration of In
dependence rendered themselves liablo
to deatli in case of failure, nnd their
dangerous situation naturally led to
family conversation relating to tlio sub
ject, so that this record has really tho
forcu of written testimony
It Is well known that thero was a
great diversity of opinion among tho

tho probability Is that tho voto occurred
as stated on Judgo Morton's monument
and was madu unanimous nfler tho
question had been decided by tho ma
Jorlty a very common practice among

How to Spell. Often In writing, a
simple word Is required, of tho ortho;
raphy of which tho writer is not sure.
Tho dictionary may bo referred to but
is not always convenient. An easy
mode is to write tho word on a bit ol
waste paper, in the two or threo ways
of which you aro In doubt. Nine times
in ten, tho mcdo which looks right is
right. Spelling particularly Kngllsh
spelling, is so completely n work of thu
eye, that tlio eyo alone should bo trus-
ted. There is no reason why "receive"
"nd "believe" should bo spelt different-
ly, yet sounded alike, in their second
syllables. et write them "rcdevo"
and "beleive," nnd tho eyo shows you
the mistake at once. Thu best way for
young people, and indeed peoplool any
age, lo learn to spell, is to practico writ-
lug. Cobbett, tho famous English rad
ical, taught his children grammar, by
requiring that they should copy their
lessons two or three times. Theso les
sons ho himself gavo them in the form
of letters ; and his French and Kngllsh
grammars arc two of the most amusing
books in tho Kuglish language. Ol
cottiso "learning to spell" camo lit inci
dentally.
Ax interesting feature of tho cotton
statistics of tlio country for tho year
ending October 1, lSTd, Is contained in
tho statement of tho relative Importance
of tho cotton manufactures, North and
South. During tlio year thero wero In
tho North G37 mills, working fi,S.jl,770
spindles, and u-Mng 7IS,lffil bales; In
tho South, 100 mills, 02,'Jill spindles,
nnd GD.0G7 bales converted Into cloth.
The incrcato thiotighout tho country
in tho number of mills, spindles, and
bales consumed over tho previous year
is quite marked. The figures show an
increaso of .1."0, 1 111 spindles, ami in tlio
consumption of cotton of 17,31(1 bales,
or S.ncn, ICO pounds. Massachusetts is,
of course, at tlio head of tho cotton
spinning industry of tlio country, hav
Ing 12S mills, 82,1 1!) looms, and l!0s,818
spindles, and consuming about UTi.OOO,
uun pounds of cotton. Tho prospects of

result has been that under a mlstuken
Idea of tlio purpose of tho enactment
peoplo lu tho rural districts of Wlscou-
sin havo gone heavily into tlio business
of raising wolves, and tlio number of
wolves' scalps turned over to tho State
is getting to bo awkward, This is bup-

Tin: Pi:tkifii:d Fouf.st, discovered
last June, near Calistoga, California,
and which has attracted great attention
in that State, is not as wonderful a cur
iosity as lias been a'serted. Tlio Alta
California says that the namo adopted
by common usage conveys an erroneous
impression, ns thero Is no forest nor any
petrllled tree in an upright position.
Parts of about twelve trees nro lylni
down, Ecattcrcd over a surfaca tibout
threo huudrod ynuls square. Neither
petrllled branches nor leaves havo been
discovered, and tho petillled trunks
vary In diameter from ono foot to llvo
feet, thu greater number being over two
feet In diameter. Thu largest trunk Is
fifteen feet long and llvo feet In diame,
ter. Tho petrifaction, however, Is com,
pleto all thu woody fibre having tils
appeared and having beeu replaced
with a grayish crystallization, mainly
composed of carbonato of llmo. Tho
grain of tho wood Is distinctly preserv
I ed in appearance, and knot holes and
fracture aro found In It being occas-
tonally lined with transparent crystals
of carbonato of llmo. Every stono
trunk Is broken across transversely.
tho fracture being mora smooth than If
it had taken tilaco when tho treo hud
been in a vegetablu state, but not so
smooth as If the trunk had been sawed
Tho first notices of theso petrllled
trunks stated that llvo lizards had been
discovered entirely surrounded by tho
crystallized carbonato of llmo; It Is
now, however, contended, with great
probability, that tneso littlo lizards had
crawled into tho crevices of tho petrl
ged trees for tho purposo of obtaining

Some ono has wisely said: "Instead
of asking ourselves with how littlo fuel
can I warm my homo? tho question
should be, How much can I afford to
pay for fresh supplies of air, moderately
and equally warmed, and distributed
without waste?" Instead of this, says
thu American llulklcr, most of our
friends aro making arrangements for
stopping the flues where no flro Is kept,
In order to keep tho heated nlr In. If

tho sum of your health and happiness

It is an excellent ventilator, and tho

The Snow Bir.n. As each return
ing winter comes to us clad in its gar
ments of white ns often and as faithful
aro tho visits of tho littlo snow bird, ,
those feathered companions of winter's
chill and dreary days. Tho snow bird
is remarked among ornithologists for
tho obscurity which bangs around its
history. On tho first approach of win
ter it suddenly makes Its appearance,
apparently driven by tho Inclemency
of tho whether to court tho society of
man. Whenco it comes no man can
tell and whither It goes (for Its exit is
ns sudden as its cntraneo) no ono has
been ablo to discover; It Is supposed
by somo to bo another bird, only that
its plumage, by somo mysterious and
irresistablo power, has been suddenly
changed. Thero Is a feeling of melan
cholly passing over tlio mind when tho.
bleak and merry landseapo, deserlo I
by all tho other tenants of tho air, Is
only enlivened by tho prescnco of tho
mournful snow bird. Yet In tho bitter
est weather ho is always gay and lively,
and tho gloominess of tho scenery
around him seems to havo no sadden
ing effect upon his cheerful heart.
