POHERUV'S HX-MONEY. by iins. o. w. aeon-. Nellie Winthrop was ono of thoie fortu nate iudiyiduals whom God endows with ac tlve brain, wealthy body ntid Hint peculiar trait which is best characterized as a spirit. I say fortunate, because she was left, when a mere child, to the charity of the world, which, as everyone knnvvi, somewhat re sembles that of certain Indian tribes let ting the weakly children die oiliest they be come troublesome. Hut the world honors spirit, and when It saw that the little maid en was determined to beat down all 0111,0 Itlon with her own tiny fist, it straightway smiled upon her ; so Nellie found work here and there, and friends to counsel her, until she accumulated a little money. Then she went to school, and in course of time be. came competent to teach in the common schools ; and proud enough sho felt when she found herself sole mistress of a dozen backwoods urchins. Thus, teaching and studying alternately, she struggled on, until she found herself one of tho most accepta ble lady teachers of her native State. Dis tricts that mourned oyer peculiarly intracta ble pupils were her's to subjugate; and many a wilful dunce did she lead with firm, but gentle hanu, up the hill of science. And how she loved her work ; and how she rejoiced in her freedom, and her well earned independence ; and how her black eyes would sparkle as she aflirmed that she would always be 'her own mistress.' But alas I she went to the rural village of Colebrook to teach during the fall and win ter, and there she met Chester Ponicroy, a fine young farmer, who lived a mile from town. He loved her from the moment ho saw her wiusome face looking up from Esquire Oilman's pew in church : and she coufeased to herself, as he stood up straight in the gallery, leading the choir, and swel ling out grandly on tho tenor, that ho was well enough,' which was considerable for Nellie Winthrop to admit ot any young man. Esquire Oilman's wife was Chester's aunt, and with her conseut and womanly assis tance a match was made ; and before spring Nellie yielded her boa-ted independence. There were some who said it was a shame for her to marry a farmer : a college profes sor would not be half good enouph. But the trouble was Nellie loved the farmer bet ter than any professor ; so, when her school ended, she sat down to Mrs. Oilman's sew ing machiue, and meekly stitched away at tier outfit. Mrs. Oilman made an old fashioned quilt ing, too.so that each enthusiastic lady friend could 'set a stitch' for Nellie ; and her par lors were filled with those who had learned to love the energetic young teacher. 'Ah, Nellie,' said Miss Eunice Perkins, who was just a little past thirty, 'You'll havo to give up your independent ways when you are married. How do you think you'll relish going ;to your husband for all you have ?' looking up keenly as she thread ed her needle. Nellie tossed her head in a very unsub dued style as she answered : 'I'd like to see the man who could make a beggar of me, Miss Perkins. I expect to help do the work and then share in the profits. I would like to know what right a man has to call everything his? But then, I do not anticipate any difficulty,' nnd a quick blush rose to Nellie's cheek as she thought, 'Chester is too generous to be like other men bless him,' Miss Perkins arched her eyebrows, and Mrs. Smith and Mrs, Mlddletou exchanged glances, which said as plainly as words could have donePoor child 1 you don't know any thing about It. Wo thought juat so once.' Time passed on, and Nellie Winthrop be ckme Mrs. Pomeroy, and took her place among the matrons of the land. Her hus band had been abIe"to pay but little, as yet, toward his farm, which be had purchased of wealthy but miserly, old Mr. Goldthvvalt. So, to lessen his burden, Nellie spent all her previous earnings In furnishings for the cosy fs.rmb.QUBe, of which sho was Installed mis tress. The manifold duties of housekeeping wero new to ner ; but she assumed them with the Bame courage and energy that had character ired her whole life, and soon conquered even the mysteries of butter making and poultry raising. She blistered hor hands almost dal ly, and grew as brown as a gypsy in making excursions over the farm to assist and en courage Chester's numerous enterprises. But she was happy and cheerful over her unac customed labors, for wasn't everything to be ours by and by ? BLOOMSBURG, PA., ThUS brlffhllv IllA ullmtvin. nnhlL. ......1 n -"w U..U....V. iiiuu.ua ,nnBCU, and the early autumn, The butter was sold and Chester nnnounced, with nardonabl, pride, that It brought the very hlehest tirlco, The apples went next, nnd then the plump chickens that Nellie had so assiduously waiciieu ; iiicu the wheat and oats and everything that could welt be spared. went to swell the income. Chester was jubilant over tho result. I tell you, Nellie,' said he, 'It's worth everything to have a good wife. We havo been wonderfully prospered. Mr. Ooldthwalt wants to get the farm back Into his hands, but he can't do it, forthe second payment ready for lilm.nnd I have considerable mon ey besides. Nellie heard all this and rejoiced with him ; but she began to wonder vaguely when sue was to receive her share of the wonder, ml income. Not a cent had she in the once well-filled purse j and ns sho ruelully surveyed her boots she fully realized that even the strong ties, supposed tn exist between sole and up per leather, mujt yield to the footsteps o tune, sho was so hard on boots ? 'And who wouldn't be?' she said to herself grim ly, 'trotting all over the house, and out Into the yam every half hour to see If a stray hawk is after my chickens?' When the cold November winds began to uiow Jirs. .Nellie said to herself: 'It is no use I my lace bonnet and white gloves look ridiculous at this season, and my boots grow worse and worse. I must stay nt home from church.' But no, her husband would not listen to that ; ho felt lost without her company, nnd her alto in the choir. So, without telling mm tuo cause oi the opposition, she re- trimmed her old hat, mended her second best kids, and patched her boot, with the aid ot an awl to pierce the sole. Not being a cobbler by profession her fingers received some wounds which made her feel almost exasperated ; and she concluded that if men were not as blind as bats by nature Chester would see that she needed some new ones. He, innocent heart, thought she looked un commonly well, as she appeared on Sunday morning, arrayed in her 'old thintrs. and. although she took pains to put tho worst loot lorward as sho stepped into the carriage Chester only thought, 'What a pretty foot my wile lias got. ills tisvv broadcloth suit, so stout and strongly made, was warranted to last a year at least, and what Bhould he know of a wo man's wants 1 Monday morning Nellie scrubbed out her clothes with moro than usual celerity; for torturing thoughts make one's hands move quickly ; and the day before, while In Sab bath School, she had been horrified to see that her impromptu cobbling was proving treacherous, and her boot gaping in deris ion. 'I wonder if Chester expects my clothes will last forever?' said she to herself. 'Maybe he expects I'll ask him for money, but I cannot I Oh dear, I cannot 1 Haven't earned anything, I'd like to know? And isn't it right for him to give me apart of the gain I guess I could take care of my, self better than he does it I and if a few tears ran down her cheeks think it not strange, oh ye lovers of independence! That night, on his return from the village, Chester tossed a bundle into her lap saying : 'I've git some splendid cloth there for a vest, Nellie; I have always bought my clothing ready-made, but I knew you could make it so nicely and it will save two dol lars. Nellie told him she wouldjtry to do it, and then, as if the thonght had just occurred to her, she added : 'ISy the way, Chester, I think I must have some new boots some time this week.' 'Well, I'd go to Stearns' and get some then, if I were you. He's just got his new goods,' and Chester unfolded his newspaper and began to read. Poor Ne'lle bit her lip, and wondered if other husbands were as slow to take the hint ai her's was proving himself to be. She said not another word, however, and the next afternoon got ready for her shopping expedition she could fortunately wear rub bers and waited for her liege lord to provide her with the necessary fuuds. But he sat writing at his desk, oblivious of all domestic cares', and at length she said with an assumed nonchalance : 'Can you let me have some money, Ches ter?' 'Oh yes, you haveu't any, have you? and he drew out his wallet and began to count bills therein. l'here's five that must go to Mr. Jack son for the use of his team; and three my minister's tax exactly; teu that goes for a new sleigh robe; and two you can have that I guess, separating it from the rest; will that do?' Nellie's face grew white and then red, and her heart beat so that she could hardly an swer : 'I will try to make It.' Chester looked up, thinking her voice did not sound just natural, but she had turned tovtard the window. 'There's some change you can have, too,' said lie, adding several pieces of scrip to the bilL She took the money and thrust it Into her purse, aud walked rapidly away ; but her thoughts ran somewhat after this fashion ; 'Aud so my claim is last and least in his estimation, I suppose that is the reason that so many women grow so sort of anti quated they hate to beg.' Her husband's ears would have tingled could he have known these reflections, but as It ,vas, he only looked after her and thought what a fortunate fellow he was to get such a wife. After purchasing an inferior pair of boots Mrs. Nellie found that she bad thirty cents remaining, which was speedily invested in pins, needles and thread, and she returned home resolved to labor and to wait a little while longer, A few days after this, as she was bending over tho table trying to cut Chester's vest, Miss Eunice Perkins called, and after a few minutes desultory chat the worthy spinster drew from her pocket.'apaper,whIch she hand ed to Nell!o,aylng as she did so : 'We are trying to get money to purchase a silk dress fur a Christmas present to our paslor's wife. As the gentlemen are trying to do something forthe pastor, we ladies In tend to get her a dress among ourselves. Some ouo reminded me to come to you ; you used to be so liberal in your subscriptions,' Nellie tried to read the well-known names already on the paper, but a film seemed to come beforo her eyes, and she felt the blood rushing to her cheeks. FRIDAY MAY 30. She tried to smile, however, ns sho said ; 'I really haven't any money by me io uay, miss l'erklns and I can't toll you I turn you need not rely on me for any, thifg. Miss Perkins gave n little feminine shriek 'There 1 there I now confess, Mrs. Pom eroy ; isn't it just ns I told you ? Can you married ladles havo half the Independence that wo slnglo ones have ?' ami sho tried to look very knowing. 'Have I ever said but that I have enough of everything ?' nked Nellie, with n little of the dignity that used to subdue troublo- some boys. 'Oh no, of courso not. Everybody says Totrvagotnn excellent husband ; nnd I am sure I tdldn't menu anything. You know it is my way to joke n little occasionally ,nnd you remember our little talk about pin-money, and with continued protestations Miss Perkins slid tho paper Into her pocket again and took her departure. Then Nellie put her head down on tho table and had a good cry. When Christmas came she thought of the pretty dressing gmvn she had made for Chester the year before, when she was only, 'engaged,' and wished she could do as much again ; but what would a present be worth begged from his own pocket V said she. Chester's gift to her was a wringing-ma- chine. Tho year beforo it was a book of poems; but then, the machlno wns vatly more useful, and given with ai undiminish ed affection, she knew, only it was so prac tical.' Nellie did not ask for nny more money during tho winter, although once she made a purchase while Chester leaned over the counter to offer well-nieaut advice, nnd then afterward paid for it from his own pocket, Not but that he was willing to do this. but sh thought how much better it would have seemed to count the money from her own little purse, as sho tied to (do. It was very natural, under the circumstances, for Nellie to wish that she could do something In addition to her daily duties that should bring the longed for 'pin-money,' but not until the following May was there an oppor tunity. Then, as she was passing his houe one afternoon, old Mr. Stanley accosted her. 'Mrs. Pomeroy," said he, 'if you wasn't a married woman I should bo after you to teach our district school this summer. We have got some good sized girls that would go if I could fiud the right kind of a teach er.' 'How much will you givo me if I will take the school V asked Nellie, trying to conceal her delight at the proposition. v ouldu t take it, would you, now ?' said the old man. 'I'd givo you well, I'd give you fifty dollars. You'd board at home, of course.' 'I will let you know my decision to-mor row morning, Mr. Stanley, but please don't mention that I think of teaching.' That night Chester was informed of her 'splendid plan.' louseetne schoolhouse is so near us. and a nice long time before and after each session to do my work ; and I nm bo strong. Please say yes, Cheter, she pleaded, and so he at last consented, and the school was en gaged. With unfaltering courage aud n feeling of her old independence ;Nellie commenced her work ; busy from morning untill nltjht, and happier than ever, until at the end of the fourth week Chester fell from the beams of the barn and broke his leg. Then she wanted to give it up ; but afler a few days' interruption lie insisted upon her resuming ing it. Then, poor felloiv, ho had nothing to do but lie on the parlor sofa and watch the road to the schoolhouse door, and the hands of the clock creeping around nt a snail's pace, measuring off the time for her return. 'Yes, he had his farm to worry about al ; and the 'help, and Mr. Ooldthwait's next payment. He knew that everything was being neglected, and oh, how he longed for the use of his helpless limb once more I Hut ono day, as he was Irving to plan nnd culculate for tho payment, ho happened to think of Nellie's fifty dollars, and then his mind was at rest, for he felt sure it would be sufficient to make up all deficiencies. The school was finished at last and Mr. Stanley promptly give Nellie the promised wages, saying as he did so that sho had oarntd double the sum, which was sweet music in her cars. Tears of gratitude filled her eves, nnd as she hurri.d home she felt at least uu nch taller than usual, Chester began to hobblo about ou crutches during tho harvest season only to find, ns he had feared, that the farm had been neglected, and was not goiug to meet his expectations of the spring, He could not complain of Nellie's work, however, lur she had not let the dairy suffer: so that from that, and the other sources, he could nearly meet the fivo hundred dollar payment. 'Nellie's money would jut make it out, I think,' said he to himself, but al though he hinted again and again of tholack, and her ability.to meet it, she was strange ly slow to understand, and would innocen tly inquire, 'What can you do Chester?' One day n peremptory note from Mr. Goldthvvnit, saying that the payment was due, and must be made before uight,brought matters to a crisis. Nellie saw tho messenger who brought the unwelcome note, and saw her husband as ho leaned against the garden fnce to read it, and pitied him so much that she wanted to rush out at once ; but he turned toward the house, and she sat down quietly fo her eovv- ng, not looking up even when she heard his crutch coming thump, thump, thump across the floor. 'Ntllle, it's just as I feared. Hear this :' and then he read the missive with its cruel threat, that unless the money was brnugnt tuat night Mr. Ooldthwalt would take the place. Isn't that too bad ? What will you do ?' asked Nellie, sympathizing!)-. " can t mako up the five hundred unless you let me have your money, now that is a fact,' was the desperate answer. 'Well, I will see what I can do,' Eaid Nel- lie, coolly, as she brought forth her treas ure. 'There is ten, that will buy a new dress ; and ten, a cloak ; nnd five, a hat or bonnet; and ten I shall need that for boots, gloves, and other little things, I think 1 can let you have fifteen dollars,' looting up inno cently. A grieved look spread all over Chester's face j the corners of his mouth be gan to twitch and if he had iiDt been a man, and six feet high, ho would have cried. 'Nellie I' was all ho could say, 'What V and then Nellie had both arms around his neck, and the bills were all thrust into his hand, 'I meau you should have them all,' she sobbed. 1879. 'What made you act so, then ? how could you boso so provoking?' said Chester. 'Did you hate to ask mo for that money, Chester. 'You know I did.' was the answer. 'Well, why haven't you nsked for It be fore V Bccauso you knew I wanted It days and days ngo, nnd I thought you ought to offer It. Ut course I didn't want to come to you like some old beggar said Chester. Nellie clapped her hands. 'I want to tell you a little story now,' said she. 'There was once a girl who had always earned her money, and fought her way In tho world alone, nnd succeeded well, too Hut she was foolish enough to get marriod, and then she had to work twice as hard as ever before, and have double the caro ; but for all that he never received n single penny without asking her husband for It, nor did she spend cue without his knowing It; what she received in return. Now this was very humiliating; and sometimes she would think sho never could ask again, nnd then she would cry and cry ; and oh, Chester, you don't know how I havecried.it seemed so-so,' and Ncllio's head went down again. 'Why, Nellio I why, darling 1 I never thought why, did you feel like that? But It's different, you know, with me. Women never why they expect to nsk their hus bands' 'It isn't one bit different, either 1' cried Nellie, dashing tho tears away, 'I am as sen-itlve ns you are, and there's nothing I dread worse than asking for money. Hun dreds of women feel just so, too, only it's the custom for them to be domestic beggars. and they dislike to make a fuss ; but I'd like to hear any one say she admires the custom. Why haven't we n right to use a part of our earnings after ns well as before wo aro married ?' 'Well, you have. But I supposed you would ask for what you wanted. My moth-, er always 'But you see now how hard it is to ask for what you feel ought to be freely given,' in terrupted his wife. 'Of course I feel ns anxious to pay off our debts as you do, so I would not be extravagant ; but if I could have ever so little, nnd feel that it wns mine freely nnd rightfully mine don't you see how much mote plensant it would be ? Then If I wanted to givo a dollar to the Mission ary cause, I cauld calculate my expenses just as I used to, and practice a little self denial, nnd do it. Don't you see, as it is, that wom en can't know much about the luxury of giving? Just put yourself in my place, and think how ridiculous it would make you feel to be obliged to come to my pocket every time you wanted to be charitable.' 'Oh my 1 I can't imagine such a thing 1 I wouldn't do it, you see,' laughed Chester. 'Nor would any man. Now dojou .think I ought to ?' nsked Nellie. 'No, I do not, nnd you shan't be obliged to suffer so ngain, I promise you ; but, real ly, I never thought but it was natural, and , all light for you to.' 'You will know better after this,' said Nellie ; 'but I suppose you are anxious to go to Mr. Ooldthwait's, so I will not detain you.' She stood at the window and watched him as he rode away with a light heart ; for she felt that what had so threatened to mar her domestic happiness was banished forever. Nellie never taught again, save when she established nu 'infant' school in her own kitchen ; but no subscription paper ever gave her 'sinking feelings,' nor did she ever resume the tr.ide of cobbler ; for in her own little purse was punctually deposited what Chester laughingly called hsr 'monthly dividends,' THE FllKl'K OF EXAMPLE. William Miller attended the performance of 'Uncle Josh' and saw a man thrown through n window nnd a skylight, and heard uproarious applause.

WHO IIASDI.n KnnosEN'i: on coai. on, lamps. Frightful accidents from tho explosion of kerosene and coal oil lamps have become so frequent of late, that tho question of enact, ing some law to prevent If possible or, at least to lessen their repetition has become a subject of considerable discussion and com ment. In this city, from timo to time, the most horrible results have taken place, end lng in death, nnd frequently disfiguring the unfortunate victims for life, by the careless handling of this dangerous agent. P.. 0. Klnzil, M. D., president of the state board of health of Michigan and professor In the state agricultural college of that state, in a lecture recently delivered before the Mlchl gan legislature explained the manner in which kerosene generally explodes. The professor said : "Some persons' seem to think the explosion of a kerosene lamp is caused in the same way as boiler explosions ; name ly by the pressure of the vapor of the oil inside the lamp. In rare instances cxplo flons nre caused in this way; for example, where the ignited oil overflows tho lamp and the lamp is enveloped in flames. But ex plosions usually occur In another way ; namely, where the vapor of the kerosene Is mixed in proper proportions with air, nnd thus a true explosive mixture is formed which will explode with the force of n gun shot when fired by ilame. This explains why n lamp is in more danger of exploding when only parliallv filled with kerosene, because a larger amount of space is filled with the explosive mixture ; it is the hanie as a larger load of powder inn gun. Many persons suppose that there can be no dan ger of a lamp exploding unless the whole body of the oil in the lamp is heated to the flashing point ; that because the tempera ture of our rooms never rises to 120 degrees there can be no danger in using oil whose flashing point is 120 degrees. But Dr. Ba ker, secretary of the state board of health, has proved by experiment with lamps that an explosive mixture may form nnd the lamp explode while the body of the oil in the lamp is not above eighty-five degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature of the body of oil in the lamp is not the only factor to be considered, because different parts of the lamp become very unequally heated. If you will touch the brass collar of a lamp which has been burning for some time you will find it quite hot, and the tube sup porting the wick is still more strongly heat ed. The formation of vapor will be deter mined by the hottest part of the lamp which comes In contact with the oil. When the combustion is imperfect from any cause, the brass fittings of the lamp become excessive ly heated. Dr. Baker found in his experi ment that when the chimney was removed by breaking or otherwise, and the lamp con tinued to burn, the temperature of the brass collar rose very rapidly In every instance; in one case In 14 minutes it rose to 101 de grees, and in another case in ten minutes to 155 degrees Fahrenheit. In this last in stance very rapid explosions occurred by the side of the wick, and to prevent tho whole lamp from exploding the light was extinguished. In none of these experiments did the oil rise above 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Many persons on leaving the room turn down the lamp, to save oil, but such econo my is very liable to cause a lamp explosion, which is anything but economy. I know of a case in Charlotte which illustrates the danger of this practice. A lamp in a store was turned down during the absence of the clerk : a person passing saw the lamp ex plode, and by promptly breaking into the store he extinguished the fire. If a lamp is not needed in a room cither extinguish tho lamp or leave it burning with tho usual blaze." "AMEN." 1. Its origin : Amen is a Hebrew word, of Hebrew origin. Prior to the time of Christ, it was found in no other language but the Hebrew. Pagans did not make use of it in their idol-worship. But with the introduction of Christianity it has found its way into thcllanguages of all nations who have received the Christian as well as their religion. In the Greek, Latin, German and English tongues, it is tho saino in ortho graphy, signification, and with very slight deviations, also in pronunciation. It has been left untranslated, and has been trans ferred from the Hebrew just as it is found there, because there cannot be found in any language only one word that expresses its precise and complete meaning. 2. Its sense : Luther, in his small Cate chism, defines It thus : "Amen, Amen that is, Yea, it shall bo so." Cruden says of it : "Amen in Hebrew signifies true,faith ful, certain." It is-used in the end of every prayer in testimony of an earnest wish, do sire, or assurance to be beard ; Amen, bo i' so, so shall it be. Webster says : "Amen, as a noun, signifies truth, firmness, trust, confidence ; as a verb, to conform, establish, verify ; as an adjective, firm, stable." In English, after the Oriental manner, it is used at tho beginning, but more generally at the end, of declarations and prayers,in the sense of "be it firm, be it established." All these declarations agree in making amen to mean "verily, true, certain, bo it so, so shall it be." 8oma ancient forms of ritual have rendered it into English, viz. : "So mote it be." It ia used in address by man to his Maker, and by him to us, and accordingly, as used by either, differs somewhat in ap plication, as must be evideut. For man asks favors, and God bestows them ; God makes promises, aud man pleads them. When man says Amen, he claims the Di vine assurance ; when God says Amen, He confirms it. Lutheran, Lost for Eveu.
