MRS. 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.,

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.

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-,

'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. He went home and
sought to practico the same game on his
brother, who was boarding at his house ; but
the applause consisted of yells of 'Police!'
nnd 'Murder I' nnd William was trotted off
to the iucarcerator. This is another proof
of what is one man's meat is another man's
poison. His Honor looked over the desk at
the prisoner and said :
'William Miller, this throwing people out
of windows is not only damaging In Its ef
ftcts on glass, but there is a faint show of
somebody getting badly injured. I cannot
countenance any such performance.'
'I don't feel as if I should ever do so any
more,' replied the prisoner,
'And jou'll leave five dollars a3a guaran

William left it, but it wa9 a close shave.

to hunt through all the hallways and garrets
of his pockets, and even when he thought he

WHY KEROSENE IiASII'3 BXl'LODE.
A PnACTlCAt, HINT TO AM. 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,
