The establishment of a Cutting School
In Lehltbton has been Instrumental la
more fullj arousing public sentiment upon
oua vital question than has ever before
been arousal, namely:
"THE PBACT1CAL EDUCATION
FOH WOMEN."
Appealing to your most candid judg
ment, parents, have jou educated your
daughters In such a manner that they can
earn a Rood, honest Hying by their own ef
forts, If such a thing should become neces
sary, for Utile do any of U9 know what Is
in store for us? It Is a refined accomp
lishment for any lady to oe able lo iook al
ter her own clothing and see that It Is made
correctly and In becoming style, and there
Is no education that prepares any lady for
the responsibilities and duties or lire equal
to knowing how to construct her own
clothing properly.
It Is only the second consideration con
cerning this life's goods. The first Is pre
paring our food properly and next Is our
clothing, and this Is of the highest Import
ance to all, and might mean very much to
some of our readers. It is an attested fact
that the Cutting School Is a harbinger of
good wherever established, and the price
of the thorough course of Instructions giv
en is merely nominal compared with Its
ereat value which Is clearlv demonstrated
by the best judgment of some that have
already Deen doing goon wore wiin u, ana
we cordially welcome any one to our In
struction Rooms to see and. Investigate for
themselves.
Snace onlv permits us to give the names
of a few who take pleasure lo speaking of
its worth.

OFF WINDMILL ISLAND,
The lustrous light of it June inoon
ahone over PliiladelpHia one night in the
yrair 1779. The summer air wan full of
the odor of roses ntul the streets were
embowered iu verdure, but sounds of
martial music floating down from Chest
nut street brought home to every henrt
the chilling remembrance that war wns
raging in the country nnd that the issue
was as yet iu the balance. Far away from
the din, out in the open fields west of
the Pine Street Presbyteriim church,
was a settlement in which but little
heed was being paid to the uproar. The
colony existing in the tiny cabins hud-,
died together hnd nothing in common
with the Continental armies except a
deep, unrelenting hatred of the English.
Tills evening the strangers gathered in
little knots and conversed in quiet, un
familiar accents, the men smoking their
long pipes, and the women knitting
in a slow, measured fashion. In a
French patois they told the children
stories of their ever to be remembered
land far iu the north, the villages and
farms, and the cruelty of the British in
wresting from them their beloved Acadia,
turning them adrift in a strange conn
try separated from their kindred and
every home tie. After all the years
which had elapsed since their coming to
the City of Penn, the Acndians wore
simply sojourners, not citizens. Few of
them had any acquaintance with the
inhabitants of the city, and but a small
number could Bpenk the English lan
guage. The industrious Quakers did
not take kindly to the indolent habits of
the refugees, hence it is not to bo won
dered at that the Acadians had no inter
course with their neighbors, and strenu
ously sought to deter their ohildren from
making connections outside of their own
people.
The young are apt to be jxrverse, how
ever, and the French blood iu their veins
was too volatile to be easily controlled.
In one of the cabins had a maiden gone
to and fro through the long hours of 'the
day now drawing to a close busied with
the house work, but with heart beating
high, for she had heard that the troops
were expected to arrive in the city dur
ing the day, and thoughts of her brave
Willie, with his blue and buff uniform
and three cornered hat, had driven all
other subjects from her mind. Little her
parents guessed of her secret, and, al
though they noticed her preoccupied
manner, they did not attribute it to the
proper cause.
Now that dusk had come she impa
tiently awaited the time when they
should take their usual stroll to neighbor
Minot's doorstep for the accustomed
chat. "When at length the old folks were
safely away, Bhe tied a light shawl over
her head and sped along the path to Pine
street, then down that thoroughfare to
Third street, carefully avoiding the open
door of St. Peter's, through which
streamed a flood of light. In Third
street she reduced her pace, and slowly
walking under the trees she finally
reached St. Joseph's church, looming up
in the fast gathering darkness beside the
humble dwellings of the Quaker poor.
She knew she had started too early to
meet her lover, so she entered the sacred
edifice, and after spending a few miuu' es
in prayer, or rather in silence, for her
feelings were too tumultuous to be
calmed, again sought the open air.
Third street was deserted, but a square
below the pavements were crowded.
News had come of a battle, and the
pulse of the people was at fever heat.
Louise cared not for the news of the
war so long as her lover was sufe, and
now she waited anxiously at the trystlng
place. One or two persons hurried past,
too eager to hear the latest tidings to
notice her. A soldier released from his
duties came down the' street anxiou-j to
get home again. She drew back in the
shadow. Soon she heard the step of n
vigorous man, and peering through the
twilight saw the glitter of another uni
form. The man came closer, mid she
perceived he was voting and stalwart,
with a bold, masculine face, which,
though in a measure attractive, had
stamped upon it traces of sensualism
and rough living, such us is noticeable
in the countenances of soldiers who have
been on a long campaign.
All this the girl noticed by the dim
light of the lamp fixed on the watchbox
near by. The stranger was evidently iu
search of some one, as he constantly
peered around him ns he moved forward,
but as he saw Louise all doubt vanished.
Walking directly up to the maiden, he
bade her good evening, calling her by
her first name. The girl's countenance
expressed at once annoyance and sur
prise. The cause of the first is easily
imagined, but the manifestation of sur
prise was only explained when she ejacu
lated in French:
"You here, Jacques? We thought you
had decided to stay in Opeloustu. And
why in this uniform?"
The soldier replied with a light laugh:
"It is hard to get rid of a bad penny, you
know. I found the surroundings of our
mends in the south not suited to my
taste, and, having a chance to enter the
army, did so. But I came on an errand
to-night, aud that is to carry a message
from your lover,
Although a smile accompanied his
words, the expression of Jacques' eyes
was far from pleasant, but this Louise
did not notice. She grasped his arm in
terror.
"A message from Willie! What do you
mean? Is he wounded?"
"No, no, girl," the man replied almost
roughly, "but the fact is he was instruct
ed to remain with his company. He does
Hot wish to miss the chance of twalng your
pretty face, however, and so he asked me
to meet aud aocomtttiiy you to u i lace
near his post, where he can steal out for
a few inlnute aud greet yon. His um
mand is stationed at the old barracks on
Front street, aud, if you arc willing tgo
along, I will take you up and back in a
boat lying below the duck, winch I en
gaged on my way,''
The maiden was greatly perturbed.
Without any sense of fear she would
have readily troue aloue to tie encauvu-
7,snt, sue the reputation or Jacques vats
not of the liest and she hesitate! to trust
him. It was now past tho hour when
hor lover should havo come, nnd as
Jacques told n plausible onnnghstory she
decided, finally, to accompany him. The
two proceeded to the river, where iu
answer ton low whlstlo given by Jacques
a like signal was returned, and guided
by the sound they reached the side of a
Imat lying in the shadow of n pile of cord
wood. There were two men in the boat,
which struck Louise as rather odd, it
being rarely the wherries were manned
by more than one person. Sho took a
seat, and Jacques, loosening the painter,
sprang into tho stern. The rowers bent
to their task with a will, and tho craft
shot out into the bright moonlight.
Instead of. turning north, however,
Jacques kept tho prow headed 'directly
for Windmill Island. Louine noticed
this and naked hlmwhy tho boat was not
pointed up the river. Ho ulterod an un
intelligible reply about tho current,
which did not reassure the maiden, and
she, though inwardly frightened, insisted
in firm tones that the wherry bo directed
north. Her companion, thinking ull oc
casion for secrecy past, sneeringly replied
that he would run the boat to suit him
self. Now thoroughly alarmed and 'see
ing tho trap into which sho had fallen,
Louise sprang to her foot and screamed
for aid. In those days tho river was
much used as a highway, and usually the
evening air was enlivened by tho dip of
countless oars and the hum of animated
conversation. To-night, howovcr, the
water was deserted, every one being in
tho center of the town seeking the latest
tidings. No answer came to her cry for
help, and before she could again Hnd
voice Jacques pulled her down beside
him, and, covering her mouth with hie
disengaged hand, bid the rowers make
all speed to tho island, whoso shadows
would effectually hldo them.
With a fruntic effort Louise wrested
herself loose nnd scroiim after scream
rang over the water, to bo answered this
time by a welconio cry from up tho river.
The conspirators turned their heads in
alarm. A hundred yards distant was a
light boat with two occupants bearing
toward them, and propelled with such
force ns to very materially lessen tho dis
tance between them bof ore tho abductors
could realize the situation.
"Row, men, row!" yelled Jacques. "It
will be ball nnd chain for life if wo are
cuught."
"Stop!" came from the pursuers. "Stop
or I fire!"
Jacques muttei'jd an oath, and, seiz
ing a musket lying at his feet, took aim
and fired nt the speaker. No return fire
came from the party in the second boat,
and they hnd resolved apparently to do
lay action until they overtook tho wher
ry. Making an almost superhuman ef
fort, they shot the light skiff alongside
the heavier boat, when the island was
not more than ten yards distant. Snatch
ing a pistol from his belt Jacques leveled
it at the nearest occupant of the other
boat, but ns his - finger tremblod on tho
trigger an oar quickly sweeping through
the air fell upon his nrm and the weapon
was tossed into the water, while his
right hand fell useless by his side.
The boats by this time had drifted al
most to the shores of the island, and the
cowardly boatmen, seeing their lcadei
disabled, and with the horrors of Walnut
Streot prisou in their minds, abandoned
their oars nnd sprang ashore, followed
by the pistol shots of the second occu
pant of tho skiff, as well as by tho curses
of tho maimed Jacques, who saw his
scheme fail when at tho point of success.
Louise was lying in tho bottom of the
wherry senseless, and, seeing further re
sistance useless, Jacques throw himsell
into the tide at tho same instant the offi
cer, for so his uniform showed him to be,
stepped into the boat. Tho rower of the
skiff made strenuous efforts to reach the
drowning man, but failed, and the dark
waters of tho Delawaro closed over the
abductor, who was unable to swim to the
land with his uninjured arm. Mean
while the officer raised the maiden in his
arms, and at tho first glunco ejaculated;
"Heavens, it is Louise!" The rescuer
was no other than William Clark, het
lover, whoso command had indeed been
located in tho Liberties as stated by
Jacques, nnd he was on his way to meel
his sweetheart when the scream of Louise
rang over the water.
Jacques' story of Clark having been
detailed for siiecial duty was entirely
false. Through a letter which had fallen
into his hands he had learned of the
meeting arranged between Clark and
Louise, nnd having known tho Acadian
girl for years, ho resolved upon tho dur
ing plan of abducting ntul carrying het
to Now York, of course deserting to the
British. Not until Louise revived and
told her part of the story could Will un
derstand her prexence in the boat, or un
til thon did he know who was the ab
ductor. Louise reached home before her pa
rente had returned from the Minots', and
In tho dlsturlied condition of the city the
fight on the river nnd the sudden disap
pearance of Jacques created no com
ment. Years after, when Louise had bocomo
the wife of Clark, she told tho talo for
the first time to hor daughter, and it was
one of her grandchildren who related the
incident to the writer. Philadelphia
Times.

LISPETH.
She was the daughter of Souoo, HIU
man, and Jadelt his wife. One yeortutlr
maize failed, aud two bears spent tjs
night in their only poppy field just nboTo
the Sutlej valley on theKotgarh sid;o,
next season, they turned Christian, Mid
brought their baby to the mission to 1
baptized. The Kotgurh chaplain chris
tened her Elizabeth, and "Llspeth'Ms te
Hill or pahari pronunciation.
Later, cholera came into the Kotgurh
valley and carried off Sonoo and Jadeh,
and Lispeth becamo half servant, half
companion, to the wife of the then chap
lain of Kotgarh. This was aftor the
reign of the Moravian missionaries, but
bofore Kotgarh had quite forgotten ljw
titlo of "Mistress of the Northern HlUs."
Whether Christianity Improved Lia
poth, or whether the goda of her own
people would have done as much for b,er
under uny circumstances, I do not know;
but sho grew very lovoly. When Hill
girl grows lovely she is worth traveling;
fifty miles over bad ground to look upon.
Lispeth had a Greek face one of tho
faces peoplo paint so often and see ,o
seldom. She was of a pale, Ivory color
and, for her race, extremely tall. Alio,
sho possessed eyes that were wonderful;
and, had she not been dressed in th
abominable print cloths affected by Eli
sions, yon would, meeting her bs? ' th.
hillside unexpectedly, have thought her
the original Diana of the Romans goinj
out to slay.
Lispeth took to Christianity readily,
and did not abandon it when she reached
womanhood, ns do somo Hill girls. Her
own peoplo hated hor, because sht) had,
they said, become a mamsahlb nd
washed herself daily; and the chaplain!
wifo did not know what to do frith br.
Somehow, one cannot ask a utaWy aod
doss, five foot ten in her shoes, to cTeftn
pliites and dishes. So sho playirjd ylth
tho chaplain's children, and took claaexMl
in tho Sunday school, and read .11 tiia
books in tho house, and grew mora and
moro beautiful, like the prinwws in
fairy tales. The chaplain's w'lfw rid
that tho girl ought to take Barries ta
Simla as a mirso or something "gnti."
But Lispeth did Hot want to takjs .ear
vice. Sho was very happy whore she jtm.
When travelers there wera not huany
in those yoars came into Kotgarh, Irli
peth used to lock herself into her own
room for fear they might take her way
to Simla, or eomowhere out into ths ja
known world.
One day, n few montlts after she vra;
17 yeurs old, Lispeth went ont for a
walk. She did not walk in the meaner
of English ladies a milo and a half out
and u ride back again. She covered be
tween twenty and thirty miles in har
little constitutionals, all about and
about, botween Kotgarh and Narkonda.
This time nho came back at fnll dusk,
stopping down the break nock desosnt
into Kotgarh with something heavy in
her arms. Tho chaplain's wife was dol
ing in the drawing room when Lrlspeth
came in breathing hard and very ex
hausted with her burden. Lispeth put
it down on tho sofa, and said siinpjy
"This is my husband. I found him on
tho Bagi road. He lias hurt himself. Wa
will mirso him, and when his is well
your husband shall marry him to me."
This was tho first mention Lispeth had
ever made of her matrimonial viflwa,
aud the chaplain's wife shrinked With
horror. However, the man on the sqfa
needed attention first. He was a young
Englishman, and his head had been ortt
to tho bone by something jagged. Lispeth
said sho had found him down th kpqd,
so she had brought him in. ns wu
breathing queerly and was unconscious.
Ho was put to bed and tendetfby the
chaplain, who knew something of medi
cine; and Lispeth waited outside the
door iu case she could be useful. She ex
plained to the chaplain that this" wu
tho man she meant to marry; and tb
chaplain aud his wife lectured her se
verely on the Impropriety of her nondnot.
Lispeth listened quietly, and repeated
her first proposition. It takes a great
deal of Christianity to wlpa out mipivil
ixed eastern instincts, such as tntting in
love nt first sight. Lispeth,. (taring
found the man she worshiped, did not
see why she should keep silent as to her
choice. Sho had no intention of being
sent away, either. She waa going lo
nnrfao that Englishman until he Wat
well enough to marry her. Thbj waa
her little programme.
After a fortnight of alight fever and
inflammation tho Englishman retvtrartd
coherence and thanked the cb plain and
his wifo, and Lispeth especially Llegeffa
for thoir kindness. He was a travel r
In the east, ho said they never' talked,
aliont "globe trotters" In those, deyi,
whim the P. & O. fleet was young aiirj
small and had come from Dehrav Dan
to hunt for plants and butterflies amttng
the Simla hills. No one at Simla, lfra
fore, Icrirw anything about Mm, ' M
fancied he must have fallen over h eli
while stalking a fern on a mtteW tr
trunk, aud that his coolie must har
stolen his baggage and fled. JIa thwight
he would go back to Simla when ha w4
a little stronger. He deire4 no met
mountaineering.
' He made small haste to go away, and
recovered his strength slowly. I4fnt
objected to being adviited either by tM
chaplain or his wife, so the Utter wpodrt
'he Englishman and told him how waUf
stood in Lispeth's heart. H latmfctVa
good deal, and said it waa very prtMjy
and romantic, a perfect idyl of tUa Wm
alayas; but, as he was engaged to a girl
at home, he fancied that nothing rald
happen Certainly he would' foVmrW
with dbectetiou. He did that. ?!&.
f onad it.ve.pleauatnt totalk to Lispeth,
and walk Wjth Liipeth, and say nice
ttinga to her, and call her pet names
while h was getting strong to go away,
lfmcant nothing at all to him, and ev
erything In tho world to Lispeth. She
wa. very happy while tho fortnight
lasted,-beoan.ih had found a man to
lfra.
$4uff a savage by birth, sho took no
tronnw o htae- her feollngs, nnd the
Englishman waa amused. When ho
want away Lispeth walked with him up
the bill a far aa Narkurida, very trou
bled and very miserable. Tho chaplain's
wif; being a good Christian and dislik
ing anything in -the shape of fuss or
ecaodal.-LispetU.WM lieyond her nian
Mretneut mtjrely-.had told the EnHlish-
.tseatto tel Lifpcth that he wns coming
bacs tmarry.hr. "Shu is but a child,
yo.u know, arid, I far, at heart a heath
en," said tha .chaplain's wife. So nil
the twelve niiU no the. hill tho English
man, with hi arm around Llspcth's
wat, waa aattiring the girl that he
would -com book and marry her; and
Lispeth mad Mm promise over and over
attain. 8h wept on the Narknnda ridge
ill ,ba,hd paased .out of eight along the
MtjHUol path.
Then aha dried her tenra ntul went, in
ro Kotgarh aain, and said to the chap
lain' wife: 'lit, will romo back nnd
marry me. He has gone to his own peo
ple to tfll them o." And the chaplniu's
wife toot lied Llapeth and said: "He will
come baok." At the end of two montlis
IJjpeth grew impatient, and waa told
that the Englishmen had gone over the
tea to England. She knew where Eng
land wa, beaus.9 sho hnd read little
geography primers; bnt, of course, she
had no conception of the nature of the
sea, being a Hill girl. Thero was an old
pusile man of .the world in tho house.
Lispeth had played with it when she was
a child. She unearthed it again, and put
it together of evenings, and cried to her
elf, and tried to imagine where hor Eng
lishman wa. A she had no ideas of
diimnoe or tteamboats, her notions
were somewhat erroneous. It would not
have mad the least difference had she
been perfectly correct; for tho English
man bad no intention of coming back to
marry a Hill girl. He forgot nil about
her by the time, he was butterfly hunting
fc Assam. H wrote a book on the east
afterward. Lispeth' name did not ap
pear. At the end of three months Liiqieth
made daily rUrimages to Narkuuda to
cee If her Englishman was coming along
the road. It gave her comfort, and tho
ehepUina wife, finding her happier,
Uionafht that the was getting over her
".Jwrjrjarona and most indelicate folly."
A U.tWe, later the walks ceased to help
Ltapik ana her temper grew very bad.
TM chaplain', wife thought tliis a profit
able tirae te let her know tho real state
of affairs--that the Englishman had only
promUed his love to keep her quiet; that
he bad never meant anything, and that
it waa "wrong.and improper" of Lispeth
to tb.ink .of - marriage with an English
man, who waa of .a.inporior clay, besides
be4.rH$mid in marriage to n girl of
bj fjwa people. Lispeth said that all
thi waa olaarly impossible, because he
had Mid he tared her, and the chaplain's
wife ha4, with her own Hps, asserted
that-the Englishmen was coming back.
"Bow'ren what1 he and you said be
nnfcraef" aaVed Lispeth.
"Wa (aid it a an excuse to keep you
qtrtet, cMldjrald the chaplain's wife.
"Ten xoji Kwe lied to me," said Lis
peth, "yoanrlljer
' The 'chaplain's wife bowed hor head
and said' nothing. Lispeth was silent,
toe, for-a-llttl time. Then she went out
down the. valley and returned in the
dress of- a Hill girl infamously dirty,
ib.nt-wit.hout tho nose and ear rings. She
had her hajr .braided into the long pig
tall, helped ont with black thread, that
Hill wpnten wear.
"I am oing baok to my own people,"
said she. "Ypu have killed Lispeth.
There fs only left old Jadeh's daughter
the daughter of a pahnri nnd tho ser
vant of Tarka Devi. You are nil liars,
yonBnglieh."
By the time that the chaplain's wife
Had reoeredirom the shook of the au
.nonnwuent that Lispeth had. 'verted to
hr mother' ;rtd, the girl had gone;
and he never rams back.
She took to her own unclean people
savagely, as It to make np the arrears of
the 11 fa she h'ad stepped out of, and, in a
little time, aha married a wood cutter
who beat her, after- the manner of paha
ri, and her beanty faded soon.
"Thej is no, law .whereby you can ac
eonut fift ttie. rtTrie of the heathen,"
.eisid the .eapiaii)! wife, "and I believe
that Uaraeth waa always at heart an in
fidel." "Seeing the had been taken into
the church of Rig) and at the mature age
of fir week, tnli i abatement does not do
credit to the chaplain's wife.
Uepeth waa a very old woman when
ah jdled. She always had a perfect com
mrnd of Julian and when she was suf
.fWejntiy drunk, could sometimes be in
duced to tell eke tory of her first love
affair.
It waa hard then to realize that tho
bleared, wtinMed creature, eo like a wisp
of ohasrred' rag, eeqld ever have been
