IIY 1'F.ItCY 11. ST. JOHN.
OHAl'TKU I.
"I do bo halo ugly pooplo," I Bay to
tnynclf witli paasionatu cmphnsia, ns I
Hit on tlio lawn tearing up tho crasa
with my small, nervous hands, "and
that is perhaps why I disliko Pauline.
Carolina nud Elizabeth bo much. Ugly
icoplo aro luvariably disatrrceablo.
judging by my threo sistera ; ugly
icoplo aro always jealous ot thoso A'ho
l.ippcn tb bo good looking nnd lmvo
good coinplcxioiiH. Ugly people liko
iiolliing better than to run down tho
boauty thoy would glvo anythiug to
possess. Yes, I do disliko my Bisters,
nnd I am not ashamed to own it, for
they aro always tattling at me, and
would mako mo drees in n dowdy
stylo and avoid nil pretty actions if
they dated."
1 his soliloquy reliovea my mind fi
little, for I am boiling over with anger
nt the injustice I have received froni
tho heads of my father's household. I
say heads advisedly, because they
maungo poor papa's domestic affairs,
nnd managed him into the bargain.
If papa had his way I should go to
tho ball, but he stands so much in awe
of Caroline, Pauline nnd Elizabeth,
that tho power is all in their hands.
The excuse is too mean and paltry.
'Yhat an opinion they must have o.f
mo to think I should fall in love with
Captain Adderly, after all I have heard
about him. One would think I was a
baby instead of a full-grown, girl of 18,
well able to tako caro of herself.
"Ho is a bad man, and Nell shall
not bo put in tho way of temptation,!'
my sister Carolino said this morning,
and when she says anything thero is
no appeal against it. Her word is law
in our house, unfortunately.
"Nell I"
I look up quickly, and sco a tall form
ana a merry sunburnt tnce, and a pair
ot laugiuug eyes, which belong to
Freddy Monteith, a neighbor of ours,
and an old playfellow of mine, for he
is only my elder by a few years
three, I think.
Ho is a good fellow and a pleasant
companion, and I like him : it ends
there, for thero is no shadow of any
deeper feeling in my heart at least.
"Well,'' I jork out laconically, for
my ill temper usually extends to every
body, strangeis excepted, who happen
to como near me.
"Why, what is the matter?'' ho
asks, throwing himself on the grass
and nursing his knees ns ho looks with
quiet amusomont at the tear stains on
my (lushed check, "what have tho
threo Graces been doing now, littlo
ono t"
"Don't bo rude," I cry, angrily ; "If
you don't talk liko a gentleman you
can go away. I won't have you mako
fun of my sisters."
I abuse them myself, but I won't
have them abused by other people.
FIis words have aroused a little feeling
of compunction in my bresBt. After
all, my half-sisters are pot unprepos
sessing, or would not bo if they at
tempted a less grim and austere stylo
of dress.
How ugly somo women can mako
themselves by tho fashion of their gar
ments and tho way thoy wear their
hair. I wish my sistera would lot mo
givo them somo lessons in tho art of
mnking themselves attraotivo.
My angry words only mako Freddy,
laugh and show his white teeth. No
body evor puts him out. I havo nover
scon him in a rage, and I don't sup
pose I ever shall.
"How cross you aro!" he cries,,
putting out a strong right hand to
touch my cheek, a liberty which I in-1
stantly resent. i
"Leave mo alone," I return with
flashing eys ; "can't I bo allowed the'
privaoy of my own garden ? Have I
not had enough to put mo out that you
should oomo hero to tease mot I wish
you were dead."
b ready s smiles iaae ana ins moo
saddens. He looks at mo so reproach
fully that I feel horribly guilty, and
long to beg his pardon, fp.r my winded
words j bu,t pri(o stpps in and seals my
Hp sprluVor obstinacy.
"Yoii will bo sorry for that,' ho
says quietly ; "porbaps some day you
will regret it with nil your hoart.
And then ho rises and goes slowly
across tho sunlit lawn, leaving mo
alone.
"Freddy," I cry .impatiently, but lie
does not hear, or surely tho next mo
ment would Bee him at my side, my
frank, pleasant friend and old play
fellow. Elizabeth appears at tho sldo door
at this momont, shading her oyos from
the sun with her hand. She is dressed
a straight garment, which falls
around her in stiff, ungraoeful folds,.
No argument in the world would
over induce luabpth to woar a bus
tle. . . .
What a oontrast wo must make, 1
think, gaging down at my pretty frills
of dollcnto laco. How can Elizabeth
Ircss so t
Presently Elizabeth sees me, and
stalks that is tho worst of it stalks
across to whero I am sitting, an angry
light in her small, gray eyes.
"Aro you not tired ot wasting tho
precious inoinoutsf' sho asks. "You
know what is said about idle hands.''
"What is thero for mo to do 1"
inquire detiantly. "Would you liko
mo to go ami help cook and ppe) tho
potatoeij for lilriw, or shall I nwcep
out tho parlor '
'I should like you to find something
to do," sho returns. "Thero is nothing
so horrible to mo as a Bloth."
There is a hot rebolHoiia feeling at
my heart, and when wo reach tho sido
door I como to a sudden standstill.
"Well, aro yon coming 1"' asks Eliz
aboth, looking back at mo ns she outers
tho passage.
'No, is my answer "I am not
going to wasto this lovely day Inside
tho house. Wait until tho dull days
como and then I shall not feel so much
Jike a caged bird. I want to bo out in
tho fresh air and sunshine, and you
would shut mo up in a dark, stuffy
room. You nnd Caroline and Paulino
may bo content with such a life, but I
urn not,"'
And without paying uuy attention to
tho words oi com tiispieiHMo whlcl
break in on mo beforo 1 have fuiiohe
sinaking, I turn nnd hurry out of tho
garduu, passing through tho church
yard, which leads at least the gato
-V
does Into n nlcnsnnt alindy lane.
n i i. t ii. I I..
un rcnomng ii, i wniK inonj siuwiy,
gazing up at tho aky tlirougli tho inter
l(ftving brnncliefl.
"Uh i ' I cry in eurpriao nnd conatcr-
nation ns I trip against tho root of a
tree and fall into tho outstretched
arms of n. gentleman who has approach'
oa mo uuuuscrvcti, ins tjooitcpi runn
ing no noiso on tho oft award.
Only for a moment ho holds mo thus,
but ill that moment I tako iioto of his
hnndsomo face, so unliko Freddy's,
with its look of almost sorrowful grav
ity, which oven tho amilo on his lips !
cannot dispel. x reddy could not look
liko that if ho tried. Ho looked sad
this morning,) but thero ia nothing ro
mantic nbout tho nppearauco of my
old playmate, and this stranger is a
prince a demi-god.
"Pardon me," ho says, as if ho had
committed an offonso in saving me
from nn ugly tumble into a muddy
ditch, "I was alraid you wero going
to tan.'
"And t was very sure of it," I nn-
awcr t "but for you my plight would
bo a disagrceablo ono, indeed. Thank
you very much for coming to my ns
sistance." '
I flatter myself that tho speech ia nil
that can bo desired, and having mado
it, naturally oxpect that tho stranger
will pass on, but ho does nothing of
tho kind.
This is rather awkward for me, and
I look up at him helplessly, not know
ing what to sav. - Ho has quietly ig
nored my thanks.
." What a pretty place this is," he
presently remarks, "tho very prettiest
spot I havo ever seen, or eo I. shall
think from to-day."
"Why from to-day T" I ask inno
cently, wishing ho would leave me,
and yet unable to suppress a thrill of
pleasure as wo stand alono in the grass
growu lane alone, save for the birds,
and tho old whito horso which is crop
ping tho hetbage hard by and turns to
look at us.

Thoy wero left to follow on after their

How he Fixed that Rooster,
A Hartford paper tells of a irentlo-
mnn in Bloomheld who, having been
greatly troubled by incursions of his
neighbor s hens, ono day caught tho
proud old rooster which strutted at tho
head of tbo invaders, resolving to hum
bio his lofty feelings by dressing tho
captivo m a suit of stilt brown paper
nud then letting him go. When set at
liberty tho bird stood still and took a
survey of himself. Tho legs of his
pantaloons wero not cut in dude fash
ion, but were largo and baggy, nnd
wero calculated to interfere with rapid
locomotion. But nt last tho rooster, in
desperation, started for homo. He put
out his right toot, and as the paper
rustled and rattled against its fellow,
chanticleer, still holding that foot aloft
looked down upon his extremities with
n more puzzled expiVHsion than the
man did who was blown across tho

Nowstianers aro what two men tho
editor and tho printer mnkq them. Tho
work ot each dovetails so niceiy mat
when either h unequal to tho other, a
lositivo defect is clearly tho result.
Tho typographical stylo of nowspapcrs
is something that follows tho old nd
ago of "many mon, many minds." Fow
papers aro disposed to immitato others
very closely, ana tno result is nn inn
nlto vnrictv. much of which is pleasing.
The averago daily reader knows a plos-
ng arrangement oi typo in m tmiiui
when ho sees it, but ho cannot givo
tho reason why any special combina
tion of letters is moro pleasing than an
other. English newspapers are uni
formly arranged In colums of broad
measure, with heavy scotcii-iaco type,
tho head linos being mado up of capi
tals and small capitals from the body
letter. Tho impression given is weight
WllUOUt urigUUieHS. J.tiu riumn jm-
pers aro alovonly in their make up.
Paragraphing is frequent a failing
which tho English papers reverse! their
paragraphs, however, mean something
when thoy do occur. French typo is
cast as a general thing from poorly de
signed matrices, and the letters aro not
properly shadod. Tho head linos are
more sinking than in tno ingusn pa
pers, but nro used without regard to
tho canons of typographical good
taste. Among American nowspapcrs
there is a wide dissimilarity of stylo. "
In Now England thero aro a fow pa
pers which havo departed irom tno
quaint dress of tho last century. Tho
old-fashioned "sido-head" abides, and
that reckless use of display typo in
head lines which betrays tho haul of a
soholar, who is innocently ignorant of
tho composing room, doe3 its work in
nearly every paper of tho section. Tho
use of capitals and italics from the body
letter for ono lino and two-lino heads is
also a peculiarity with tho Ynnkeo edi
tor. Ho shows littlo ingenuity and
could learn a great deal if ho would.
With tho papers that no takes most
prido in their neat appearance, adver
tisements aro restrained to small type,
tho greatest excess allowed being a full
faco two-lino innitial letter. Alter this -starter,
nothing larger than a capital of
tho body letter appears. Tho bpring-
held lievuoucan is an example in mis
class, and this paper has a neat and en
gaging countenance, lho uoston
Transcript goes to the other extreme
of big nud densely black letters, but it
has few companion in darkness.
Tho Now York papers aro liko copy
lines in a schoolboy s writing book.
In ouo way or another they aro imita
ted all over tho country. Somo of them
aro worth imitation ; some not. The
Tribune is elaborate, tho largest head
lines being in lightfaced type a little
larger than tho capitals of the body
letter, and small capitals being used
lilerally in all parts of the paper. Tho
Herald gives tho impressien of a soci
ety man in whito summer dress. The
body matter is heavily leaded tho edi
torial, somo say, with nonpareil slugs,
which is the highest standard of "pliat."
The headlines aro ingeniously construct
ed. Lines running flush across tno col
umn alternate with the pyramid linos,
the typo in all being light-faced and
generally a good deal condensed,giving
tho head a slim and breezy look. Tho
Times is a modest substantial appearing
sheet. Tho largest headlines aro Bimply
arranged, tho letters being suflicionlly
largo to attract attention, and yet what
might bo called "soreaming loud." A
great deal of tho paper is set in nonpa
reil type, and consequently the Times
has a very full, compact appearance.
The Sun is, in most respects, an ideally
well-dressed journal. Tho typo is a
clear, large Scotch face, a great deal of
it being nonpareil and agate, thus se
curing a maximum of news in a mini
mum of space. Tho headlines are
clear cut as tho voico of a man who is
euro of his facts. Tbo- general make
up of the Sun suggests tho compact
ness and momentum of a bullet, and
its oontents do not usually belie tho
suggestion.
In the "West, the newspapers aro
given to crying their wares in a loud
voice. Big type, blnok type, queer
typo and any typo to "scream ' seems to
bo the vogue. Hero nud there is a pa
per with a subdued style, involving
just euough.of the prevailing make-up
not to bo at a disadvantage with its
neighbors. But the majority employ
dozens ot ditterent styles ot typo, an
heavy faced, black and generally hide
ous. Tho Chicago papers liko Gothic
typo for their index lines, and tho result
is, it is difficult to tell whon a Chicago
papor is or is not in mourning. Ono
exception should bo noted tho Chica
go Herald is a very attractive paper.
It wonld not bo fnr from right to givo
it the palm among western newspapers
for typographical neatness, it is clean-
cut, tho different letters used in tho
headings are harmonious, and there is
littlo to criticiso. Provincial papers
aro generally filled with small items,
so that they have no very positive ty
pographical character. 1 ho patent in
side system has modified their appear-
anco very largely, giving one-nail ti.o
paper a darksome, monotonous coin-
luxioii. An opportunity lor a pleas
ing improvement in tno nppearauco
of tho country press rests with tho patent
printing couccis, which tho reading
public would, no doum, uo pleased to
see them used. Typographical appear-
mice in a newspaper is a good deal like
dress and manners with men. News,
promptly and fully given, will make a
success of tho vilest combination of
