Working Both Ways.
When Horatio Flipper and his bosom
friend, Josiab Clcmmens, on tlie same day,
in tho same church, married Augusta Luv.'
ton and her dearest friend, Anasthusia
Meakiiu, a contract was mado between tho
twq couple3 a contract entirely independ
ent of that which, in tho cya of tho law,
they had made when each answered, "I
will," in reply to the somewhat inquisitivo
question put by the clergyman in regard to
their future intentions as to supporting,
bring, nnd honoring, each other, It w
this: They bound themselves that if one
family had n son and the other n daughter,
that son and daughter, when they had ar
rived at a proper age, should become man
and wife. There was nothing bo novel or
original in such all arrangement,' if there
had been, tho parties to tho contract would
never have made it, for they were neither
novel nor original in any thing they were
simply maudlin with romance, and this
covenant was merely the effect of which
strict attention to novels, love tain, and
.plays, was tlie cause.
So much by way of prolougo. Now for
our story.
Flipper and Clcmmens had died full of
years and gout and rheumatism, and left
each a largo fortune to his wife. They had
each left as well a child Flipper a daugh
tcr named Kitty; Clcmmens a son named
Richard, otherwise Sick, Tho old men
had forgotten long before their deaths all
about their agreement on the wedding-day
but not so tlie mothers. They had been in
correspondence for the lost five years about
nothing else. Tho children had now
reached their majority, and the mothers
wero anxious for the consummation of their
phn.
Mother," 6aid Dick, at the breakfast
table, " there is no uso in urging that girl
lutty's suit, for I vow I will never marry
her."
" How do you know, my son? You have
not seen her for twelve - years, and you
might bo delighted with her," tcturncd JIrs,
Clcmmens, coaxingly.
" I know 1 shouldn't," Dick said. " She
was a red-headed abomination when she
Was a child, and I am certain she's tho
same now."
" 0, Richard I"
"J-.vcn if she wasns handsome as Ilebe,
Wouldn't marry her. I'd feel disgusted
the moment 1 met her, and so would she if
she had "anv sense, We'd bo introduced.
We'd look at "each other, and say to our
selves i ' And tliis is tho person I've got to
marry j and then wo would hate each
other."
" Well, it seems to me, Dick, that you
might at least woit until you do sec each
other, before you make up your mind.
This is too sad," whined Mrs. Clemmcns,
wiping her tears with her napkin, nnd not
discovering her mistake until she rubbed
some mustard into her blue orbs, which oc
casioned the uso of her handkerchief in
good earnest, "just when I thought I had
such good news for you."
"What is the news V
"She's coining here."
"Who? Kitty Flipper?"
"Yes. I received a letter this morning
from her mother, saying Kitty would start
in a day or two."
"O, lor!" groaned Dick, "You must
6top her," he said, seriously, "If she
comes, I go. I know what she'll be) a
stuck-up little minx, full of the French airs
she's acquired by .tudying abroad ten
years. She'll swear 'Mon Dieu' and 'ma
foi and she'll talk about tho nalvette, nnd
her gauchcrie, and her chicj she'll speak
bad French in the present tense, indicative
mood, of the first conjugation, and she'll
commence all her questions with ' Esker,'
nnd then stick like tho young man at tho
Vencrings' party. I sha'n't $co her, that's
settled. Write to Mrs. Flipjier (mellifluous
appellation!) and say we are going on a
visit and don't know when wo will return j
or, better, go to town, see Mrs. F., explain
openly that I will never marry a Frenchi
fied wax doll, but that I want a wife who
knows how to keep a house in order, can
cook, bake, preserve, darn, mend, sew, dust,
sweep, and, as tho advertisements say, make
herself generally usetui. In short, a wo
man like my respected ma; and, so that
you may kill two birds with one stone, find
a cook who can cook, and fetch her back
with you."
An idea seemed to strike Mrs. Clemmens,
and (die answered niyt "Well, Dick,
every thing's for tho beat. If you won't
marry her, you won't J so I'll do as you
say."
After breakfast she made a hurried toilet
and took tho first train to the city. To
ward evening she returned with as pretty a
piece of femininity as Dick had ever seen
withal. The dainty, curly-haired little
woman straightway went to tho kitchen,
and then Mrs. Clemmens informed her eon
that she had mado matters all right with
JIrs. Flipper, and that the pretty conglom
eration 'of muslin, curls, and pink and
white, was a new cook she had engaged.
"Ahl" cry the intelligent readers, "you
can't deceive us the pink and white littlo
cook is Kitty Flipper, and the three women
hare formed a scheme to catch Dick una
ware,." Aud the intelligent readers arj
correct, but wo vow nnd dcclaro that wo
never, had any Intention of shrouding the
dear girl In mystery and practising decep
tion. If wo .had but this is egotism, and
we digress. With tho advent of the new
cook came luxuries such as had never been
seen on the Clcmmen's table. The cuisine
(as Dick's Kitty Flipper might say) was
perfect. Richard's stockings wero mended
so neatly that an old pair of socks were
better than a Hew pair, llis shirts, too,
wero washed and ironed so perfectly that
their whiteness and gloss caused envy in
the bosom of all his male friends.
But another change had been effected by
tho cook. That pink and white young
lady, whom the hottest fire never made red
and white, Wasaccustomcd to tako a chair
Ih the sitting-room in tho evening, and at
tend to her sewing the kitchen being
looked up to save gas, Mrs. C. said, and
Dick remained honi6 at nights) something
unusual for him.
In fact, Dick was in love with tho cook
and ho found a hundred excuses a day to go
to the kitchen and have a word or two with
1 1 i iirly-hcadcd woman.
At first she was very cold to him, but
gradually, as she saw his 'respect Increased
with his love, the ico of her reserve began
to melt under tho warmth of his passion
and tho young man was correspondingly
nappy.
Perhaps thero were no conferences, with
comparing of notes, between the cook nnd
her mistress, when our young gentleman
took his afternoon walk. O, no of course
not why should there be ?
At length Dick found himself so entangled
in tho net of lovo that nothing but marriage
would freo him j so ho entered the kitchen
ono afternoon, and, with preamble, proposed
marriage.
And here is where wo triumph over tho
ntelligent readers who say, "Wc knew how
it would be she accepted him, they wero
married, the Iraud exposed, and they lived
happily ever more."
Wrong, 0 intelligent readers I
" Will you marry mo?" said he.
" No, I will not," she answered.
" Why?"
" I'm a cook, and you're a gentleman."
".You're a lady as well as a cook, and fit
to bo any gentleman's wife."
"I daro say I am, but I don't want to be
a cook all my life."
" Then marry inc."
" And work to support you?"
" Why, my dear, I'm rich."
" You mean your mother is."
" Well, she would deny me nothing."
"I don't know about that. You don't
know how sho'd net if you married her
cook. Besides, I've no fancy for a man who
can't' support himself and his wife without
help from his mother. I understand you,
Dick, nnd I'll admit that I love you."
"My darling 1" he cried, embracing her.
" Thero now, stop. You Wouldn't marry
a wax doll of a girl who couldn't keep a
house in order, cook, carve, preserve, darn,
mend, 6cw, dust, and sweep, I've heard
you say so."
" That's true," ruefully muttered Dick.
" Well, I will not marry a man who can
not by his own labors support mc. I don't
want a club-house twell or a lardy-sardy
man of society for a husband," I want a
real man, a hard-fisted workman, who can
knock down a giant if he Insults mc. A
good, honest eon of toil, ono whom I'll be
proud to point out as my husband and on
whoso shoulder I can lean my head, and,
confident of his strong love, know no fear
n the world.
" What do you want me to do, my dari
ng?"
"Learn a tradej bo a man, an independ
ent man. When you havo earned enoueh
money to buy a eel of furniture and can
show me that you nro able to support me,
11 say, ' Dick, my boy, I'm yours. "
" I'll do it," cried Dick.
Next day, without a word of opposition
from his mother, which he thought rather
strange, he left home, went to tho city,
mado arrangements with a friend of his, a
carpenter and builder, to learn tho trade.
Dick was a natural mechanic. No work
man was ever needed at home) hn mended
everything. There was no tool ho could not
use, and therefore at tho end of six months
icre was not a journeyman in the shop
could compare with him for elegant work.
Then he rented a little shop and set up tor
himself.
Strange to say, his first order camo from
lie widow Flipjier to thoroughly repair
three of her new houses. Of course littlo
pink and white had nothing to do with this.
Mrs. Flipper recommended him to nil her
property owning friends. His buiness in
creased wonderfully. Item. His work was
always well done.
At Ihe end of tho year had a reully good
business,
Then ho went home one Paturday night
itli a bank-book and a plain gold ring in
his pocket. He went in the kitchen way )
there was no one there.
On his way up stairs he met his mother.
m braces followed and he asked i '
" Whero'uKate?"
Wo bavo hitherto neglected to mention
that the cook's name was Kate."
"Not in," answtrej Mr. Cltmmen",
"but Kitty Flipper is upstairs; oomeupand
bo presented."
" Hang Kilty Flipper," said hei
" There need bo no embarrassment, Dick )
she's .engaged."
" Oh, she is, eh ? Well come along."
" Miss Flipper, my son," tald Mrs. Clem,
mens, presenting him,
Dick looked up.
" What 1" ho yelled, looking at the lady.
"Kate, by Jupiter I what does this mean ?"
" I'm Kitty Flipper and Kate tlie cook,
too. I tried you, my dear, and you hare)
stood tho test nobly. You've proved your
self my ideal of a man, Take me if you
will, my darling."
And be did take her while the old lady
discreetly looked out of tho window and
though of her youth.
" And you Were In the plot against me,
eh ?" asked he.
" Yes," squeaked the Indies, half frighten,
cd, now that thoy were found out.
" Well, I'm glad of It. Kate, you havo
made a man of me, I insisted on my wlfo
being a Worker, and it is a poor rule that
won't work both ways."
Three days after the littlo village church
Dut pshaw I the intelligent reader can
guess the rest.
The Art or Prolonging Life.
I'cople generally desire long life and good
health. Sickness nnd premature death are
almost always duo to violations of the laws
that govern our physical beingnd of which
the masses nro ignorant. If men knew bet
ter they would do better; but how can they
avoid an evil that they know not of ? Whilo
efforts are made through tlie public schools
to give each child a so-called common Eng
lish education, yet the children nrc permit'
ted to trrow tin nnd enter unon the resnonsi
ble duties of active life, profoundly ignorant
of the structure of their own bodies, and. the
laws of the physical being upon which their
health and lives depend. Thev are sent to
school and crammed with arithmetic, gram
mar, nnd geography, by teachers who, in
many instances, have never studied physi
ology and hygiene. They are taught to lo
cate tho mountains and trace tho rivers of
foreign countries, but nro never taueht to
locate the vital ornans and elands of their
own bodies or traco the veins, arteries, and
nerves, in their various ramifications. They
are instructed in the flow of tho'tldes', and
tlie course of the ocean currents, and the
hilosophy of winds and storms t but they
ave no correct concern on of the relative
effects Upon their health of'breathine pure
or impure air, nor has their attention ever
been cnuca to tno importance oi Keeping
their bodies clean nhd healthy by regular
bathlnc. The criminality of such nettlcct in
teaching becomes apparcntwhen we consider
that the ,raasses,.jgnorantly violatlngHbe
laws of health, bring upon themselves sick
ness, suffering, and death, that might other
wise be avoided. In this condition of things
we welcome into beine anv work that is
calculated to impart to the masses a knowl
edge of the structure of their own bodics,the
laws of health, and tho importance of ob
serving those laws. We find Dr. Tierce',
Common Scneo Medical Adviser to bo such a
work. It is physiological and pathological,
and tho molor part of it should be convert
ed into a text-book for the use of common
schools. Its careful study will enable the
healthy to preserve their health, and the
sickly to regain health, Every parent
should read it, and as their children become
of proper ages instruct them In the all-important
truths it contains. Were this done,
much suffering and premature death would
uo prevented, onu many ayoutn savea irom
a life of shame and licentiousness. The
book contains nearly ono thousand pages, is

stituting therefor Glf.nx's StlLrliCR Soar,
which is" just as beneficial but infinitely
cheaper. Local diseases of tho skin, rheu
matism and gout nro all relieved by this
standard remedy. Complcxional blemishes
are eradicated by It. and it imparts to tha
cuticlo a pearly whiteness and velvety soft
ness which greatly enhance tho effect of fe
male charms. Its soothing, antiphlogistic
action constitutes itaprime remedy for sores,
ulcers, cuts, sprains, scalds, bruises, and in
fact every abnormal condition of tlie cuticle
attended by intlammation, swelling or itch
ing. Ladies moving in our best society
speak of its beautifying properties in enthus
iastic terms, and give it a decided preference
to cosmetics which m early-conceal but do
not, like Gleen's Sulvhuk SoAr, eradicate
defects of the complexion. The use of oint
ments lor eruptive complaints is to bedepra.
rated because of their having a tendency to
clog the pores and in some cases to aggravate
rather than remedy the disease. They are,
besides, seldom thorough enough in their
effects to prevent tlie recurrence of eruptions
of an inveterate type, and have .the disad
vantage of soiling the linen of persons who
uso them. Glenn's Sulphur Soap, on tho
contrary, radically cures the diseases to
which it is adapted and still further recom
mends itself on account of its cleanliness. It
Is besides, an admirable disinfectant of
clothing which has been, worn by Jiersons
atllictcd with diseases of a contagious nature.
As a specific preventive and promoter of th,
general health it presents advantage of the
