TOM TYPO.
Tom Typo was a printer’s lad,
Jlound In t ho good old Way; ~
And when he’d served his seven years,
Tho Devil was to pay.
Ho when the boss had paid him off,
To put hltusclf to proof,
He swung his bundle, took his stick.
And left his master’s roof.
Hu started in on odds and ends.
Pertaining to his trade;
For well ho know much depends.
On first i mpressions made.
Where duty called him bo was found,
SUU working in his place;
Ho stood, while setting w pa Job,
Which really was tho case, ,
Ho never swerved an Inch from rules,
To make his matter fat;
But spaced life’s paragraphs, tnat fools
Might never scoff thereat.
In course of time, his honest heart
Twin’d round a muslin dress;
And ns the wearer was agreed,
Their four lips went to press.
He married pretty Emma Gray,
With many haws and hems;
This little Joke, he used to say—
He’d like ten thousand cms.
Sweet Emma prorcd to honest Tom,
A true n,nd faithful wife;
And freely was admitted to
Tho saueflmi ofhis life.
Time’s roller passed across life’s bed,
But never inked Tom’s wealth;
His troubles boro a doublo-fcatf.
Still ho composed— himself.
And so bo kept his p>agcs clear.
And grew up to bo a type
Of all that-manhood held most dear,
When Tom •with ago was ripe.
At last, when camo tho final rest,
Without one sigh or moan;
Ho said—my friends— above my breast
Place no imposing stone.
He made his lost impression here,
While yet his heart was warm;
Just In the uicfc closedhls career,
And death— locked up his form.

TRUST HER HOT.

From Temple Bar.

CHAPTER I.
There is n sluggish softness in the
air. It is the first week in August;
and July has been damp enough to re
lax every tbingin nature; damp enough
even to. relax the will of the indomit
able woman who ih tramping along tho
three miles of dusty road that inter
vene between her village homo and the
small market town where she can got
butler at a reasonable price.
Butter at a reasonable price is a great
consideration with IViss Pauietf; so aro
eggs; so are meat, and bread, and
house rent. So, indeed, is everything.
For she is “ a maiden all forlorn,” try
ing to live like a gentlewoman on a
very limited income.
For ten years now she has pursued
her neat little inoffensive way in this
village of Bingham, which is striving
hard to debase itself into a villa-sur
rounded town.
Her house is the end house of a pic
turesque, unpretentious little crescent,
which can boast of a good-sized, well
kept garden in front, and-which is shut
off from the high road and the gaze of,
passers-by by a high red brick wall
that is well crowned with ivy. The
house is exactly like every other houso
in the crescent, in reality. But it looks
very different to the others. Its
windows ore brighter, its brass door
knob has a higher polish than those of
the other houses in the crescent.
Hhe is rather more anxious than usu
al to-day as to the results of her mar
keting at Balmngham. A young niece
has come down—a fastidious young
lady, who requires to be daintily served
without at all considering at what cost
the service is rendered.
The young niece is at homo now in
the pretty, bowery room in tho house in
the crescent that Ls parlor, and dining
room and drawing room and boudoir,
all in one. This sluggishly sjoft air
makes Miss Minuio Ward sleepy; so
she reclines while her aunt goes in
search of butter for tho fair young be
ing’s tea.
She is very pretty, very pleasant to
look at, albeit she is bored and hot, and
sleepy, and slightly cross, on this slug
gishly, soft warm day. Curled up like
a cat, on the sofa in the shadiest corner
of the room, she is lazily watching the
shadows come and go through the half
drawn drab Venitian blinds. “How
can they have the patience to go on do
ing that ?” she wonders. How can any
ono have the patience to go on doing
anything down here?” She gets up as
she half mutters this wonder, and
stands at the window, balancing her
self, her well shaped hands planted
firmly on her well shaped hips, In a
semi-defiant attitude, that would have
called forth her grandmother’s reproba
tion. She is “ tall and stately,” and
slio lias nice eyes, and pretty yellowish
hair. Evidently sho knows how to
bavo tier clothes made, and how to put
them on in a way that will make berat
least remarkable. Her hair is tumbled
now, for sho has been asleep.for an hour;
but winari its yellow luxuriance is toned
down a little, we can easily imagine
that th e Jet dagger may stab her tresses
bccomiiugly enough. At present, the
weap on looks out of place.
She- has a natural turn Up nose, and
an acquired toss of the head; and those
two things have to do very hard work
in Minnie's service. For she coucelyes
that in order to do them justice sho
mu.at ho bowitchingly saucy in manner.
To bo brief, Miss Ward is spending
heo holidays with her aunt for conve
nt .ence sake, and sorely against her own
s weet will. She la a governess, satis-
CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1872.
fled with her situation because she does
not see a means of bettering it yet j but
keenly on the lookout for promotion.
Ajt times, when no one isiooking, there
is a good deal of weariness in .the fresh,
fair, young face; and a good deal of
discontent and disgust with the world
for not recognizing her claims better in
the young high spirit. Even now,
when she turns away from tho window
with a sudden remembrance of hor
tousled hair, and tho onus that was on
her of being neat by tea time, she ejac
ulated impatiently— ■
“.Oh, dear! a week more of this; and
then go back to that horrid teaching!”
She goes up yawning and weary to
the little white nest of a room that her
aunt has given up to her—the aunt re
tiring herself into a room in the rear of
the house, barren and arid by compari
son.
It is time to put this maiden aunt lie
fore you. Bhe is almost at the threshold
of her own door when Minnie goes up to
adorn for the sacrifice, as she considers
it, of a " regular set ten" at six o'clock.
Miss Paulett has walked fast, and has
come home heavily laden, and the air is
oppressive. But In spite of the weariueas
of the flesh, she brightens up in spirit ns
she comes through the crescent-garden,,
and hopes heartily that “Minnie will.en
joy the treats.”
She has been living ten years in this
secluded village?alone; and her young
niece of twenty culls her “an old maid.”
But, in spite of these things, she is a
woman with n long lease of life before
her, in all human probability. For she
is healthy, and only just past her thirtieth
birthday. It seems almost a pity that
this probably long life should be lonely
as the last ten years of it have been.
She is net tail and lissom,- like her
twenty year old niece; but she is erect,
graceful, admirably proportioned. Her
face is clear compioxioned, delicate-fea
tured, brightened by a pairpf nut brown
eyes that are precisely the same-color as
the luxuriant hair that is wrapped in a
clever coll at the back of her head. Al
together, sbe is a' pretty and a. prepos
sessing woman, and why she should be
lonely still, is a marvel to many people.
She looks around the room, and a shade
of annoyance crosses her face swiftly. It
is one of her attributes to be daintily
neat. The small room, that is at the
same time dining hall and saloon, is aP
ways fresh and fair, and scrupulously
well arranged when she Is alone; now
the cushions are piled up untidily, the
sofa-rug is trailing on the floor; books,
newspapers, magazines, and a half-made
white muslin tunic are Iltered about on
diflerent chairs; and worst of all, in her
progress from the room Miss Ward has
upset a light wicker-stand of flowers,
which has stood in safety just Inside the
door during the whole of the summer.
Mias Paulette has just fulfilled a por
tion of her mission in life by clearing up
after her niece, when that young lady
comes undulating into the room. Her
hair Is tousled still; but now according
to certain rules; and the big Jet dagger
stabs it with a well-defined aim. She'
has put on fresh laces and fresh ribbons.
The laces are not real, and the ribbons
are poor and flimsy ; but her youth and
beauty triumph over these facts, and
cause them to look bright aud becoming.
“ Oh! you’re back, Aunt Catharine?
I’m glad of that; X want you to gosut on
the green for a stroll with me.”
From her bedroom window Minnie
has seen a manly form—the only.manly
formln the place—take the direction of
the green. Hence her desire for exercise.
She would look upon it as a willful dis
regard of a providential opportunity if
she did not go out now.
“My dear Minnie, just consider that I
am only just back from Balalugham, and
that I am rathe'r tired. Ho let me have
ray tea first.”
“ Why did you go? What could in
duce you to go rushing off in the heat of
this afternoon?” Minnie feels disap
pointed, and so speaks crossly.
“I went to get butter and fruit,” point
ing to those delicacies.
“Butter and fruit!” Minnie shrugs her
supple shoulders. “I’d rather go without
them auy day; why didu’t you send
that grampus Bridget? If she walked
more, she wouldn’t puff me out of my
mind nearly every time she conies into
the room with her hard breathing.”
Miss Paulett laughs. “Bridget had
her work to do. And what has put you
out, my little lady? Have some tea,
dear.” , .
“No thank you aunt.” When Minnie
first came, the still young aunt had re
quested that her uieoe would call her
“Kate;” but Minute very decidedly re
fused to do it. “There shall be no mis
take about ray beingthe niece, and.years
the younger of tbe two,” she sagaciously
determined.
"No, thank you, aunt, there's some
thing unholy in tea at this time of day,
unless you dine after it. I’ll go put on
the green ; you can join me by and by."
Then she half repentsherserf of herrude
ness, and adds, “ I .shall like some of
that nice cream cheese for supper If I
may have it.”
“You may have what you like, dear;
yes I will Join you by and by,” the aunt
says good-temperedly.
So Minnie’s conscience feels clear, and
she rings for Bridget to bring her hat
and blue llama shawl, the ends of which
she will presently toss over her shoulder
In a jaunty way that has neither the
merit of being pretty nor uncommon,
but that Is immensely popular with
young ladles.
Minnie walks on perfectly satisfied!
with herself, her head waddling up and
down occasionally in little fluttering
paroxisms of conceit. The color deepens
in the face that she holds very much up,
and a little oh one side, as she steps on to
the green and the well-opened blue eyes
dance. For there, a hundred yards ahead
of her, is the manly form, reclining on
one of the seats.
Unluckily the manly nose is turned
away from her that it may suill’ in so
much of breeze as' there Is. Minnie has
came to Bingham on an unacknowledged
mission. It is her bounden duty to her
self, she feels, to do something definite
during this campaign. The only “some
thing definite” that a girl of Minnie’s
calibre cares to achieve is matrimony.
Her object Is well before her now; but
It, would hardly do for her to go up and
sit down by him, and let him see that
she has followed blip on purpose. She
turns slightly, therefore, and saunters
along, skirting the green until she Is on
the other side of It, quite In his Hue of
vision.
And now she knows that her work la
done.
In a few minutes she hears footsteps
behind her. Another minute and the
manly form is by her side, taking off Its
bat and looking ridiculously pleased. It
Is Mr. Boughtou, the' curate in charge of
Bingham—a good lookiug man of one or
two and thirty.
Up to within the last twelvemonth
Mr. Broughton had steadily advocated
the celibacy of the priesthood. But
since that tiine he has modified his
views; and this change has been attri
buted in a great measure to his intima
cy with Miss Paulett. Now Bingham
did not grudge him lijs particular at-,
tentions to the handsome, fresh-hearted,
clear-headed, unaffected woman. Oh
the contrary, Bingham declared that
they would be a delightful pair. But
It was. intolerant to the daring of the
stranger within the gates who flirted at
him with such effrontery.
Ho is quite conscious that she is flirt
ing with him. He sees that she puts
herself at-her best as soon as ho ap
proaches her; that she makes her eyes
sparkle, and looks admiringly at his
eyes, and he likes if. ,
It is useless to deny it. He does like
it. He has indulged in many power
fully worded Jeremiads against Jeze
bels generally; he has cautioned the
young men of nis flock against Circe in
all her forms. But now, when Minnie
Ward puts a feather in her hat at him,
and wraps a blue shall mysteriously
about her lithesome shoulders at him,
■and gazes with a look that only misses
being a look of love by one hairsbrcadth
of intervening modesty at him, he
likes it.
His eyes are very fine, and his ap
pearance and manners very gentleman
ly and refined, and his prospects are
good, and she is sick to death of teach
ing. Given such conditions in such a
situation, and it is not difficult to guess
what will ensue.
“ Is not Miss Paulett coming out this
evening?” he asks, when they have
taken a turn around the green to the
dismay and disgust of all the occupants
of all the villas.
“Aunt Catharine? No, I couldn’t
drag her out; so I braved a solitary
stroll. I shan’t have many more walks
on the green.”
“ Why not?” he asks with a qualm.
“ I’m going away next week. Mam
ma will have me home again,”
She has a morbid horror of its being
known here that she is out as a govern
ess; and she has made her aunt} vow
silence on that point. To “ mamma,”
therefore it became necessary to impute
a greed for her child’s society which
amounts to selfishness.
They are on the verge of the green
now, at the farthest end from the vil
lage. The ruins of an old abbey are in
sight. Beyond the abbey there is a
wood. She tosses her pretty head in
the direction of the wood, and says,—
“ How sweet it w;ouid be of me to
take dear lazy old A.unt Catharine a
bouquet of wild flowers! ”
A faint spark of loyalty to charming
Miss Paulett is still alive in Bough
ton’s breast. , He is preparing to say
something that shall testify to his ad
miration for, and sympathy with, Miss
Paulett’s tastes, when Minnie adds,—
“ She is so fond of things—of cats and
flowers; it’s a pity she hasn’t
thing belter to love instead of wasting
all her life bemoaning some one who
didn’t care for her.”
The solo remaining spark of loyalty
dies out. “Has she done that? Let
us go and get the wild flowers, Miss
Ward; I know where the best live In
that wood.”
“ Can you spare the time?” she asks
softly. “Oh! hpw good of you! My
last walk at Binham will be my pleas
antest one.
Mr. Boughton has a maiden aunt liv
ing with him who keeps his house, and
drives off the unwary who approach
him when she is near. She has for
some time had her auntly eye on Min
nie, and Minnie Ims a delicious little
sense of satisfaction now in having
brought things to this pass. No aunt,
neither his nor hors, shall, come be
tween them now.
She aits upon a stile, and ho stands
close by her aide, and «the rays of the
setting sun ataam through the leafy
boughs, and glorify her head. It is all
very pleasant; but Minnie feels, in her
own forcible idiom, “ that more pleas
antness won’t pay.”
For a few moments: She forced her
self to contemplate each side of the
shield. If she marries Mr. Bough
ton she will have to lead a Binham
life; and when he Is. her husband she
will not be able to inftise an element of
excitement Into her Binham life by
flirting with him. It will be dull,
probably—but—
“ But it will bo better than horrid
teaching,” she reminds herself. She
has no more sense of moral responsi
bility concerning what she is about to
do than a child has of knocking down
a house of cards.
“I’ve altered my mind about the
flowers 1 gather to-night, Mr. Bough
ton. They must bo for your study.—
Will you have them ?”
“Will I not?”
His faco is in the shade, and looks
■very well there. Minnie adjusts her
head at a becoming angle, and makes
another effort.
“Aunt Catharine, with that good,
serviceable common sense of hors,
would jeer at me for being romantic, if
she heard mo say that X should like to
take a tiny hit of this stile away to
wear in a locket as a charm.”
Ho knows that she means him to
think that sho loves the stllu because
ho is leaning upon it with her, in what
a pool would call the “gloaming.”—
Ho knows all she means, and likes it.
Ho takes his knifo and defrauds tho
lord of tho manor by cutting a square
inch out of tho stilo. Ho would de
fraud twenty lords of tho manor of
twenty times tho value of this square
inch of stile, at this juncture, to please
Minnie Ward.
With rather a shaky hand ho pro
ceeds to cut his initials, "E. 8.,”. on
the little bit of wood. Ho trims it, and'
smooths it; and then he looks at her.
She gives him one look; and he for
gets all his views as to tho propriety of
tho clergy being a celibate body.
“ May I cut lyours, too ?” ho asks-;
and she bends down, her head and
whispers “ Yes,” and when she comes
down from tho stile she is engaged to
him.-
As she leans upon his arm she makes
him understand that life will be a wil
derness to her until she has. the right
and the power to so lean always. He
has his own views about short engage
ments ; he disapproves of them; but he
thinks that her sweet soul trembles at
the prospect of ever so brief a separa
tion from him. And ho believes it—
good, young priest as he is,
"Then it had better bo soon,” he
says eagerly. Why he says it, he can’t
exactly define;.but be-gathers up im
pressions that had bettor be soon, and
speaks from the impulse they gave
him.
“ Oh,' if you wish it 1”
Of course he’ hished it. Suddenly he
found himself wishing it very much,
and feeling that all his preconceived
ideas on the subject were utter folly and
empty humbug. Minnie would be. a
crown of honor to a husband; and he,
Edward Boughton, would crown, him-,
self as soon as possible.
She is very full of pride of her success J
as sbe steps out from the shade of the
wood, on the open green; Her head
settles back ioto a satisfied wobble as she
sees Aunt Catharine approaching them.
Mias Paulett comes towards th'e pair
iu the dim light; aud as she comes ou.
It is made manifest to her, even In the
dim light, that, something has hap
pened.
oitaptek n,
For four days Minnie has been very
happy and very amiable. Edward
Boughton manages to make duty and
inclination agree wonderfully well. —
When he goes abroad ou missions of
mercy Minnie accompanies him—a fash
ionable looking angel in different colored
cambrics.
Her aunt Kate Baqlett, has been told
the great news, and has been cordial and
cheery. His aunt Miss Boughton, has
been told, and has been morose and
gloomy. Minnie is not one bit disturbed
by either woman's state, or expression of
feeling. She merely remarks to Edward:
“ Your aunt looks so sour about It that
one would think it was a crime to love
you ; as if I could help it!”
Minnie means marriage as soon as
possible; and now, on the evening of the
fourth day of her engagement, she is
feeling a little annoyed and perplexed
because the -time is not definitely fixed
yet.
“ You might speak to him, Aunt Cath
arine.”
“About namlug the day? No, roy
dear; it’fl for him to speak to you about
that.”
“But what’s the good of waiting?—
What are we walitlng for?” Minnie
pouts.
“You haven’t waited long,” Kate
reminds her.
“ No; and I don.’t mean to wait long,
that’s another thing; we shall not know
each other a bit the better while he is
down here, aud I’m going ou with that
horrid, horrid teaching. Idon’tseewhy
we need wait.” ,
“ You can hardly be the one to sug
gest a speedy marriage,” Kate says dry
ly ; “ but I have no doubt when Mr.
Boughton realizes that you considoryour
present one a life of slavery, ho will
speedily rescue you from it.”
Minnie flushes. “ I don’t want him to
know anything about my present life,”
she.says, with an effort to seem at ease.
Kate flashes up a glance from the pre
serving pan over which she has been
bonding assiduously durlng-the conver
sation.
“ You don’t mean to say that you
havn't told him ?”
“ I have not. Why should I ? Men are
quite apt enough to think they confer
a favor on a girl by proposing marriage.
If the girl’s a governess, they know they
confer a favor by taking her out of
bondage 1 ”
“He ought to know It. If you don’t
tell him, I will,” Kate says, skimming
off the scum vigorously.
Don’t bo malicious and spiteful because
you have failed to get him yourself,"
says Minnie. -
“ You’d serve your own ends (I know
what they are, Minnie) better by telling,
him a truth that is honorable to you ;
but rest assured that I will never inter
fere between you after that—that very
coarse cruel speech.”
It Is settled between the lovers soon
that they were to marry in a year. By
that lime Minnie will be twenty one,
and he will have a suitable home to re
ceive her in. This delay will enable him
to settle bis aunt elsewhere. “ She
broke up her home to come down here
with me,” he explains.
“ She’ll be desperate fussy about a
house. I know she will keep you un
settled os long os she can.”
His greatest comfort (be is dreadfully
in love,) when Minnie is gone is to goto
her Aunt Kate, and talk about her. Kate
Is merciful enough to let him wonder
on uninterruptedly, as a rule ; but one
day she does hint to him that Minnie Is
but mortal.
“ Minnie can ill bear stagnation and
suspense,” she says. “ I shall be glad
when you can take your holiday
and go and see her. You'll jgo soon,
won’t you ?”
Something in her tone eels him think
ing. It does not exactly alarm him, but
it startles him,
“Is she ill ? Have you heard”—But
Paulelt interrupts him impattutly before
he can say a word more.
“III? Ob, no? If there were any
thing tbe matter, my slater would have
written for me to go and help to nurse
her. I rarely hear when she is well.” ,

charge of Binhnm for a fortnight; and
Edward Boughton goes up to town by
the express to surprise his loving, loyal
Minnie.
Surprises are odious 'things under the>
most propitious clroumstancss. He no
sooner is across the threshold of tho
earthly paradise than he feels that it
would hove been better far If ho had nor
tilled his coming to tho presiding perl.
Mrs. Ward, Minnie’s mamma, lives
In lodgings In Vanstttart, Kensington.-
Vausittart Terrace Is |more than rather
out of tho. way; but when you have
wriggled yourself into tho right path
that leads to it, it is pleasant enough.
■Minnie’s teaching is in the neighbor
hood. She gets home generally about
six o'clock. For several days she has
had an escort home —a soldior-cousln of
the girls she is Instructing. ■
Whoa Edward Boughton is an
nounced, Mrs, Ward falls into a par
oxysm of. bewilderment. Minnie’s
lover; and there’s nothing ready for
dinner 1 And Minnie may arrive at
any moment, suspiciously attended;
and oh 1 what shall she do ?
Mr. Bdiighton asks one or two awk
ward questions, she parries them, an
swers them deftly and sweetly. Pres
ently there is a knock at the front
door; and as Edward goes to the win
dow, Mrs. Ward gets herself out of the
room, “ to see about tea.”
Minnie comes into the hall radiant;
an enamored young man follows her.;
and Mrs. Ward meets them with de
spair printed on her matronly brow.—
Sho whispers to Minnie, and Minnie is
staggered. Eor a moment only,
though ; at the end of the moment sho
whispers to Mr. ''Gascoigne, and dis
misses him.
Edward Boughton, standing at the
window sees the handsome young sol
dier officer walking away; but he does
not for one moment associate that son
of Mars with the fresh, fair young
creature who presently bounds into the
room, and seeks to make him believe
that she is grateful that heaven has
made him such a man as he is.
Up to the presept moment, Mr. Gas
coigne, though he is on the brink,'has
not taken the plunge. Ho is rapidly
preparing, to fall at her feet; but he
has not fallen yet. Therefore if Ed
ward Boughton has come to plead , for
an earlier wedding day, Minnie will bo
fidelity itself to him.
She manages very cleverly, sho con
siders, during Edward’s visit. She
writes a pretty note of apology to her
employer, pleading a bronchial affec
tion as the cause of her non-appear
ance. She writes a pathetic little note
to her martial adorer, telling him. that,
fora while at least, it is better that
they should not meet—a note that is
worded in a way that loads him to
suppose that her mother has been in
terfering, and to vow that lie will pro
pose to the sweetest, jolliest little girl
in the world the next time he sees her.
Minnie holds Boughton’s heart in the
hollow of her little, unscrupulous hand.
Sho does not spare him a single look,
word, art, that may allure him on to
love her more and more. Sho is full of
coaxing, pretty, caressing ways; and
these she plays off upon him as perti
naciously as Kathleen played hers off
upon St. Kevin. He is desperately in
love with her. Not a doubt of her be
ing full as desperately in love with him
has even clouded his mind for a mo
ment.
Ho goes back to Binlmm at tho end,
of this holiday, a happy man. For
three days after his return from that
sojourn in paradise lie hears regularly
from Minnie.
The fifth and sixth mornings are
blanks. Ho begins to look worn and
anxious.
On the morning of the eight day he
gets a letter in the.well-known, dearly
loved hand writing and when he has
read a few lines of it, his face, which
had been pale before, becomes ghastly
white. But he says nothing to his
aunt, who is watching him pitifully;
and her prophetic heart tolls her that
he has “ got a blow from that girl.”
A letter goes from him to Minnie by
return of post, such as might melt a
atone. But it is powerless to melt tho
hear of a heartless girl. Then he waits
for three days in silence, with such
passionate love preying upon him, that
he gets to look so miserably ill that
every one In tho place colls on Miss
Panlett in tho hope of hearing that the
lovers have quarreled.
On the ’ third day he has another
letter from Minnie—a conclusive letter
that shocks all hope out of his heart
and all belief in the good, pure Jove of
a woman out of his mind.
It is tho. topic, in Binham for nine
days; for It leaks out as such invaria
bly do. At the end of nine days people
cease to look as if they are thinking
about it when they meet him.
The aunt and niece cross swords by
post, and wound each other freely.—
Minnie is to be Mrs. Gascoigne In a
week or two; and 11 garrison town life
will suit her much better than prancing
through the parish,” she says.
But in spite of this depreciatory
speech, Mrs. Gascoigne feels a sore
pricking at her heart, when, two years
after she achieves her own destiny, she"
reads that “ old Aunt Catharine and
Edward Boughton are married.” 0
How to Get Sleep.—How to get
sleep is to many persons a matter of
high importance. Nervous persons,
who are troubled with wakefulness
and excitability, usually have n strong
tendency of blood to the brain, with
cold extremities. The pressure of
blood on the brain keeps it in a stimu
lated or wakeful state and the pulsa
tions In the head are often painful.—
Let such arise and chafe the body and
extremities with a crash towel, or rub
sharply with hands to promoto circula
tion, and withdraw the excessive
amount of blood from the brain and
they will fall asleep in a few minutes.
A cold bath or a sponge bath aud rub
bing, or a good run or a rapid walk In
the open air, or going up and down
stairs a foWstlmes bolore retiring, aid
in equalising circulation and promoto
sleep. Tlitiso rules are simple and easy
of application in castle or cabin, and
may minister to the comfort of thou
sands who would freely expend money
for an anodyne to promoto “ nature’s
sweet restorer, balmy sleep,”

TWO BRAVE MEN'.
De Witt Clint on's .Duel Witli Jno.'Swartwont.
If you want to know what manner of
young man De Witt Clinton was, you
have only to read the, official report b f
the duel which ho fought In 1802 with
John Bwartwout, at Weehawkeu. Clin
ton was thou opposing Aaron Burr, and
Bwartwout accused him of being actuated
In his opposition only by selfish and pei
sonal motives- " !
"He in a liar, a scoundrel and a vil
lain!” exclaimed the hot-headed Clin
ton. 1
A challenge followed, and & duel Was
fought. X suppose It was the most:re
markable affair of the kind that ever oo
ourredr-out of Ireland. The first fire
doing no.harm to either antagonist, one
of the seconds asked Swartwout
" Are you satisfied, eir ?” , .
’ "J am not,” said ho, with more blunt
.ness than courtesy.
They .fired a second time without
eilect. .
"Are you satisfied, sir,” asked.the
second.
“No!” thundered Swartwout,
The men fired a third time without
effect; when the gentleman again politely
asked-Mr. Swartwout If he was satisfied.
,“I am not,” was the reply | “ neither
shall I 6e until that apology Is mode
■ which I demanded. Until then we must
proceed.”
Swartwoiit’s. second then,.presented a
paper containing the apology 'demanded,
for Clinton’s signature, saying;
“ We cannot spend olir time in conver
sation. This paper'most-be signed, or
proceed.” ', '' '■ ' “
' ' <1 will not sign any paper on the sub
ject,” said Clinton, with flfiifriess and
diHoity. “I have no animosity against
Mr. Swartwout. I will willingly shake
hands, and agree to meet on the score of
former friendship.”
The fourth lire then took place, when
Clinton’s ball struck his obstinate antag
onist in the left leg, below tiid knee.
“Areyou satisfied, sir?” the wounded,
man was again asked. r, ...
Standing firmly at his post, he an
swered, "It Is useless,ln repeat the ques
tion. My determination is .fixed, anil f
beg we may proceed.” .
When the surgeon Was extracting the
ball from theoppbsite side of Swartwout’s
leg, Clinton agaid declared that he had
no animosity against Swartwout; that
he was sorry for .what had .passed, and
was willing to go forward,"shake hands,
and bury the circumstances in oblivion.
Swartwout, however, standing erect at.
his place, insisted upon the written up,.l
ogy. A fifth time they fired, and Clin
ton's ball struck his antagonist in the
same leg, a little below the former wound.
“ Are you satisfied, sir?” asked the
second.
“lam not, sir!" replied Swartwout;
“proceed.”
Clinton then left his station, throw
down his pistol, and declared that lie
would fight no more*
Whereupon Swartwout, turning to his
second, asked what be should do, to
which the second replied :
“ There Isnothihg'furtherleft for you
now but to have your wounds dressed.”
So the combat ended, and the two par •
ties returned In the barges to the city.
Such was Clinton at thirty-three, when
he had already been a member of tho
Legislature, and was about to-enter the
Senate of the United States. He was
brave to rashness and ambitious beyond
measure; but he lived up to the standard
of his day, and acquitted himself of every
trust with honor and distinction.

is to be finished within eight years ;
and if sooner finished the contractor
is to receive $l,OOO a day for each day

delay reaches beyond, six months, the
forfeit is then to be Increased to $2,000
a day. The contractor deposits $1,600,-

the contract time beyond one year, the
contract Is to be broken and the oSmpu
