At tho village- school, Serena Ann Wells, who has always been n model scholar, Is caught by Miss Little, tho teacher, com inunlcntlng with unotlicr girl. Serena Ann has novur received a valentine, and linked her friend If she had done so. Serena Ann Is mado to stand on tho lloor, and Is very much grieved, ns she has never been pun ished before, and as her Grandfather Jwlil lias promised her a book If she gets through the year without being disci plined. On reaching home, her gramlfa. ther comforts her, and promises her that she can begin tho year anew, lie decides to get her a valentine, and starts for bol otnon Badgoi's store. TAUT II. There was ciulte u stock of valentines In the boxes on the counter, and Sol omon Hit deer's grandson, 'Lonzo, wits wnltine; to sell them. The trade hail been diilte brisk since morning, though It was the day before Valentine's day. Lonzo Hadcer waited for Grand father .ludil to Inspect the vnlentlnes, fLinl sur-ked n leinon drop the while. 'Lonzo was fifteen, very stout and con sidered not very bright. However, he could sell valentines, for the prices were al marked on the backs, and his Erandfather was not ufrald to trust him. Solomon lludger's eyes wore poor, and Ills granddaughter Sophia, 'Lonzo's sister, though she was called "bright enough," wns decidedly uncer tain, and more given to thinking about her mittens and her curls than a good trade. So, when Solomon Badger could press 'Lonzo into service with safety he was ulail to do so. Presently Grandfather Judd got up with nn effort, and went over to look at the valentines. One immediately caught his eye. It was much the largest and handsomest there, a beautiful com bination of lace paper, embossed doors, roses and angels. "How much Is this one?" inquired Grandfather Judd. "Marked on back," mumbled 'Lonzo, sucking his lemon drop. Grandfather Judd looked and saw that te valentine was marked llfty cents. That seemed to him rather an extravagant price. He made up his mind never to tell how much he gave, and to scratch out the mark. Hut he could not resist the temptation, it was so decidedly the handsomest valentine there. He bought It and stnrted out with It, then suddenly changed his mind. Ho remembered that the postoillce wns a quarter of a mile further on: that his rheumatism was bad, and that it was a day too early to post the valentine. He remembered, also, that his son-in-law was going to AVestdale to trade a, cow the next day, and that it would perhaps not be convenient to got to the post oillce before Valentine's day. So lie gave 'Lonzo Hadger live cents: told him to buy a one-cent stamp for tho valen tine and put it In the oiilce the next day, and he might keep tho remaining four cents for himself. "Guess lie's was to hold tho valentine, to Miss Se rena Ann Dodd, Hlggsvllle, N. Y. Dodd was the name of the young man who wns waiting upon the school teacher, nttd when she mnrrled him she wus to go to Itlggsvllle, N. Y., to live. After the envelope was directed, Miss Little gave Solomon Badger a penny to buy a stamp, and she and Mr. Dodd bade him good evening nnd went out. After they had gone, Solomon Badger spied the envelope; discovered that the valentine was not enclosed, and began to search for the one she had chosen. He held up iiiiuiy to the light, nnd lln ally thought he had It; but he was mistaken. It was quite another valen tine than the one Miss little had pur- relns, and examined the valentine ns he went along. "Declare, I'll take It to Badger's, and If they don't know any thing about It, I'll send It to Serena Ann," said he. Sum Wells went to Solomon Badger's about fifteen minutes before school time, and found Sophia In attendance. She blushed and smiled when he en tered. She considered Sntn quite a de sirable beau. "Halloa. Sonhlu." slild he. "ever see this before?" Sophia bent her pink face over the valentine, then raised It. "No, I guess not," said ho, looking up In Sam s face. "Look sharp and sec " "I did look sharp." "No, you didn't. You wore looking at me." "You great, conceited boy, you. I'll never speak to you again." "Well, you did," ictumcd Sam, hon estly. "Did you ever see it before, Sophla7 I found It out by the postof flce. I thought If you knew anything about It, If It came from here, I would bring It back, but If It didn't I'd send It to my cousin, Serena Ann." "t never set my eyes on It before," re plied Sophia, shortly. But she still smiled coquettlshly at Sam. "Well, then, I want to buy an enve lope, and I wish you'd address It" "Add! ess It yourself," Sophia. Inter rupted, saucily. "Now, Sophia, my hands are cold, and 1 can't write line enough to go on a valentine. You do It and send It down to the oiilce by 'Lonzo, that's a good girl. I've sot to hurry, because It's school time, too." fectlon In the female figure, has theso measurements: Helhgt, C3 Inches! breadth of neck, 4 Inches; sliouldnrs, It!

It Is expected by tho peoplo that thesu pledges shall be faithfully fulllllcd, and any attempt at evasion will bo regarded with oven greater contempt than open de thinco' of the promises made Tor rotorm. Inning tho hist several years this state has been convulsed from center to circum ference by notorious and ilagrantly cor rupt political struggles. Where hundreds of dollars have been used In like contests heiotofote, thousands havo been employed In Hie later conflicts. It lias become such n. colossal reproach upon the people of the state that oVory honest citizen, regardless of his political fnlth, demands the mo-tt stringent legislation to eliminate the bood. ler from Pennsylvania polities. MMMiaMflflWWWkftlffli I ! 1 SLIPPING IT INTO IIBR, HANDS WHEN NOBODY WAS LOOKING. TLA PC HE NEVER REFLECTED THAT THE ENVELOPE WAS NOT DIRECTED. smart enough for that," said the old man to himself, as he tolled home. He never rcueeieu tnat the envelope was not directed, and that ho had not told 'Lonzo for whom it was Intended. As for 'Lonzo, there was a certain Itlnd of red and white peppermint con fection which he very much favored, called a kiss. Five cents would juat purchase one. His appetite for sweets was abnormal, and his conscience somewhat sluggish, possibly as a re sult. He put Grandfather Judd's five cents in his pocket, and as soon as his grand father had llnlshed supper and come in to tend store, he slipped out, raced down the road to the shop where his favorite sweetmeat was on sale, and bought one. As for the valentine, he had taken that out from tho envelope, anu placed it uncle In stock. It was about half-past seven o'clock when Miss Little, the school teacher, came in with the young man who was paying her attention. They had been taking a little stroll In the moonlight, and she had been telling him how she had punished that dear little Serena Ann Wells for whispering about a valentine; how sorry she was, and how she had wished to send her a Valentino to atone and the young man had been thinking how sweet and tender hearted she must be. Miss Little at once selected tho same Valentine which had pleased Grand father Judd. "This is tho prettiest," said she. "I will take this." She furthermore de cided, as Grandfather Judd had done, that, since It was a day too soon, and there might be dlfllculty about having the valentine posted, If she took it homo, she would leave It at the storo and havo It sent from there. "I suppose some of you will ho go ing to the postoillce tomorrow?" said she. "Oh, yes, ma'am," repeated Solomon Badger, blinking at her. Ho had not the least idea who she was. The school teacher did not repeat Grandfather Judd's mistake, hut she made one of her own. She 'borrowed a pen and Ink of Solomon Badger, and carefully directed the envelope which chased, which was posted next day. It went to Itlggsvllle, N. Y and dually brought up In the dead letter oiilce, where it must be now. It was eight o'clock when the valen tine was sold for the third time to Miranda Sail. She came In with an other girl, Lottie Goodwin, nnd both had their heads together over some valentines which Lottie had received, early as It was. They were so much Interested in them that Miranda did not hurry about her purchase, but fin ally she selected the same valentine which had suited Grandfather Judd and Miss Little, and addressed the en-, velope properly this time, and gave It to Lottie Goodwin to post, because on her way home lay past the oiilce. Mi randa never thought about It being a day too soon. The girls parted at Solomon Badger's door, Miranda going one day and Lot tie another. Lottie put the new valentine In a silk bag- which she carried on her arm. It contained also her other valentines which she had just received. When she reached the oiilce It wns closed, and she had to deposit the valentine in the out side letter box on the door. It was dark, and just then she caught sight of a man coiniiic, and that startled her. Thus It happened that she drew out of her silk bag Serena Ann's new valen tine and one of her old ones; dropped the old one In the letter box and the new one on the snow, and sped along home, never dreaming: what she had done. Te next morning Serena Ann's cousin, Sam AVells, drove over from the east village where he lived, very early, In order to get the horse shod before school, and passing the postofTlce saw something white on the snowbank. He stopped, got out, whoalng all the time, because his horse was restive, and In vestigated. "I declare, It's a valen tine." cried Sam AVells. Ho tried to pick It up, but It was frozen down. There had been quite a thaw the day before, and the weather hud grown colder dur ing the night. Sam was very careful, but he had to leave the addressed part of the envelope In the snow. He got In the sleigh, gathered up tho -"11 " . I . -1. Mwwt) iff mm Is there any reason for dodging and ig noring a great and vital fact simply be cause a few preju diced, misguided ?l people have anti U quated ideas of what constitutes morality and modesty r Kea son and honesty say certainly not. Men and women a,re at tracted to each other because they are men and women and be cause it is right and necessary that they should be so at tracted. The things that make a man at tractive are the char acteristics caused by his inherent manli ness by the strength which makes him a perfect man, The same is true of wo man. There is strong attractiveness in per fect health. There is fascination and mag netism in it. A wo man cannot be en tirely womanly she cannot ue a peneci woman if she is not in perfect health. In iust so much aa her sickness affects the organs that make her a woman, in jutt so much she loses attractive ness. This is the vital part of her health. If anything is wrong there, it may result in nil manner of ills all over the body, Care lihs. or too busv. nhvsicians frermentlv treat the symptoms of this kind of disorder as separate and distinct ailments. The symp toms are many mid varied, so much so that whan a woman is sick in any way, the first thought should be given to the organs dis tinctly feminine. About 9 times in 10 the cause of the trouble will be found there. Dr. Pierce's l'avorite Prescription cures all disorders of this kind. There is no guess work about it. There is no chance about it. It is a f.ict that has been demonstrated in 30 solid years of extensive practice. Thousands of women have written grate, ful letters,' who have wished the whole world of women to know the wonderful things the " Prescription " has doue foi them. "Well," said Sophia, with a pout of sham reluctance. "Leave It here, then." And Sam left the valentine, and a penny for postage, with the envelope which he had selected, and hastily went his way. Sophia took up the envelope to addres It, and then a sleigh stopped at the door, and a young man from the east village came In and asked her to go a little way for a drive. Sophia called her grandfather In to mind the store, got herself ready, jumped into the sleigh with the young man and was away. And that was the last she thought of Sam Wells and Serena Ann's valentine. Her grandfather shook the envelope when he came In, discovered the valentine in it, took it out and re turned it to its old place. It was not sold again until after school that night, and then Johnny Starr was the purchaser. He had shaken the iron savings bank, In which he had deposited his money, earned by selling berries the summer before, un til he got llfty-two cents, all In pennies. He gave them to Solomon Badger, for the valentine and an envelope, and watched anxiously while the old ninn counted them It took .him a long while Then ho trudged off with his purchase. There was no question of posting it In Johnny Starr's mind, because he had not shaken enough pennies to buy a stamp. He save it to Serena Ann the next morning before school, slipping It Into her hands when nobody was looking. Serena Ann looked at it, colored high, then turned white. She was almost ready to cry. To think she had a val entine!, and such a valentine! She showed It one, then another; by noon everybody in school had seen that val entine, teacher an all. "Johnny gave It to me," she admitted. Innocently, with a grateful glance at Johnny. "Who did you say gave It to you, Serena Ann?" asked Sam Wells, with an astonished air. 'Johnny Starr." Sam AVells whistled. At neon Miss Little called her tip to the desk and questioned her. Then she called up Johnny Starr, and asked where he got the valentine. "At Mr. Solomon Badger's," replied Johnny, stoutly. Selena Ann did not know what It all meant. She was bewildered when Miranda Sail and Lottie Goodwin and the other his girls came to her at the afternoon recess and told her thnt Miranda gave her the valentine, ami not Johnny. She was more bewildered when she got home and lound that her Grandfather Judd had given It to her. It bean to seem to poor little Serena Ann as If everything was out of propor tion, and topsy-turvy, and people were behaving like- fairy stories. However, Serena Ann was not tho only person who was bewildered. Her elders were as much uonpulsed as she. For sev eral days the whole village wns In a tur moil ovfr Selena Ann's valentine. Everybody questioned wildly, who had or had not bought It. Johnny Starr wns accused of stealing It, Sam Wells for finding it and keeping It unlawfully, and both were acquitted. Sam, because he did not seem to have kept It, after all, and Johnny because of the testi mony of his parents and Solomon Badger. Lonzo IJudger was discovered to be guilty of petty dishonesty, and whipped with a birch stick, but thut did not go far toward the solution of the whole mystery. Seme of It was al ways dark in the minds of tho village. It seemed unquestionable that ono valentine had been sold several times, and Solomon Badger of fered to refund the money. But it was dtlllcult to ascertain to whom it was due, and he was poor, &o all concerned refused any restitution. At all events Serena Ann had her val entine, her first one. And she j.ever had any doubt as te who hud given It to her. It was Johnny Stnrr.and he had bought it with his huckleberry money which ho had shaken out of his Iron bank. The nnd. Krom the Philadelphia Ledger, Jan. M. , Before an assemblage that crowded ev cry part of the largo Temple of the He form Congregation Kencfoth Israel, Broad street, above Columbia avenue, the J lev. Dr. Joseph Krnuskopf delivered a dis course on "Uses und Abuses of the Press" yesterday morning. Journalism, said the rabbi, claimed for Itself a higher rank than It necorded tho pulpit. In many re spects this claim was justllled. Newspa pers reached u much larger circle of peo ple. While tho average .preacher, if popu lar, preaches to 1,000 to 3,000 persons a. week, the uverago ipopulnr newspaper reaches as ninny hundred thousands In the same period. To some extent, too, the claims of the modern newspaper to superi ority over the government and the Judi ciary have also their Justification In a laro measure of fact. Tho press Is greater than the power behind the throne. It sits on the throne Itself, and Is the uncrowned king. Over the pretensions of the schools as the greatest educatois of tho people the press had also voiced Its claim to supeilorlty. Boastful as this might bo, It could not be dpuled that the press is one of the mightiest of our educative forces. Continuing, tho speaker said: ".May there not be a timely lesson for us to learn from thin likeness between the gigantic power of the Church of Home of centuries ago and that of the newspaper press of the present day? We have nothing to fear from the newspaper press as long as it keeps within its own honorable, legiti mate sphere, as many of the journals of our land do, notably some In our own city; but wo have everything to fear from it, our lights and liberties, our faiths nnd hopes, our schools and churches, our homes and Industries iill are In dans;er when the press wantonly uses Its giant power, giant-like, when, to appease Its thirst for power or to satisfy Its craving for gold, it crushes the innocent and fuvors the guilty, deals treacherously with friends and friendly with enemies; stabs, assassin-like, those whom It has not the courage to face In honorable light; holds out Its hands to bribe; stoops so that stock manipulators and monopolists, political bosses and despots might ride upon It to enormous wealth and unpltylng tyranny; lends its ears to scandals, corruptions, in lldelltles, and lt3 pen to graphic portray als of them; revels In them ami gloats over them, in Satanic glee, blighting every thing that safeguards and uplifts society. "Properly to appreciate the worth of tho newspaper, we have but to picture to our selves Its cessntion for a month or so. How lost we all would feel! How we would seem to grope In tho dark! We have but to behold within the domains of Iticsla. a copy of a New York, or London or Paris paper, with such parts blackened ns the Russian government does not wish to have read within Its realms, to appreciate the Influence o a free press on national liberties and Individual rights. So long as we have a free and legitimate press we have a power mightier than tho Czar, nnd much nearer and readier to hear our cry and to answer It. Men may shut their ears, but the newspaper forces their eyes open, and makes them read. The twenty six movable letters of the press have moved half of our modern liberties. Our legitimate newspaper is our modern are. nn; it Is our safety valve; It is the artil lery that turns threatening revolutions Into needed reformations. It Is our pub lie conscience. The fear of exposure at the public pillory of the press keeps count, less multitudes In the path of rectitude." THAT HOCUS CANAIi SCHUMIi. Krom the Baltimore American. Why should the United' States mako a present of many millions of dollars to the Nicaragua Canal company? Docs this country owo this bankrupt concern any thing? if so, how and when was tho obli gation Incurred? When the company asked to bo Incorporated, it expressly stated, through Its senatorial agent, that lt'dld not want n dollar from the govern ment. It said that It had spent 5S.OoO.000 upon tho cnnnl; but the. rigid Investigation has never -disclosed more than $2,000,000 of actual money spent, .and the most ot that went In lobbying. Its principal ex penditures, outside- of this, was the loss of a light draught stearner, which suc cumbed to the" treacherous approaches to the so-called canal. To removu these ap proaches, so ns to make It safe for vessi Is to enter the canal, would cost more than tho canal itself. But why should the government appro priate millions of dollars to recoup this company for moneys that It never had, and, therefore, could not spend, when 1I10 government can get u hundred companies to undertake the job, without any cosily bonus, or can do the work cheaper and better Itself? Taxes are levied tor tho support of tho government. It never was Intended unit they should be voted as a bonus to 11 bankrupt company, with a ranuclous lobby at its back. The canal bill Itself Is hopelessly vicious, even If the cunul can bo built. Hut a commission ordered by congress, and composed of the most eminent engineers In the I nl'i'J States, has, after a hasty examination, expressed a doubt of Its feasibility under any conditions, and lias said that, If feasi ble, It will cost Twice as much as the company has said It would. Not only this, the commission has said otllclally that the company's surveys are totally untrust worthy. Is It possible that men entrusted with tho Interests of the public will, with such testimony before them, recklessly squander one bundled millions of dollars upciii this scheme? If they feel bound to take somo action, let them send the commission back to finish its work, or let them appoint n new commission, If they are prejudiced against the truth, and Instruct It to examine all the canal routes, and decide which Is feas ible, and which not. Give it the time mill money to do Its work properly, und settle the canal question In the interests or the public, instead of In the inteiests or a canal lobby. .,-rrCT-nfrnif.fral iVcfjclablcPrcnarationfor As similating the rood muincgtila tlng tlic Stomachs andBoweb of 3SHJ kva'ul PromolcsPigcslion.Chcciful ncss and Rcst.Contalns neither Opium.Morphino norMncral.

On this point he theorized thus: "Every Issue Involves enormous expenditure. In the commer cial spirit Involved In this undertaking lies the most pernicious evil of the mod ern newspaper. Nothing must be said or done that may antagonize advertisers or lessen circulation. The readers must be pandered to; their whims and fancies, their 'oxles' and 'Isms' must be catered to; their morbid tastes and sensational cravings must be satlstled. it Is the will of the reader that reigns supreme In the newspapers more often than that of the editor. In fact, tho real business enter prise shows Itself In getting a scoop In mistiness over a competitor; in detailing a more sensational story; In dragging Into publicity a greater privacy; In using more llashy headlines, or more suggestively In decent pictures or trumpeting louder a fellow-man s shame and disgrace. The monstrous power thus acquired belongs to those who own the paper, not to its edi tors or reporters. Home day there will be an awakening, but this awakening may come too late; It may come when Its power Is crippled and Its Inlltience gone. AVould that this awakening might come before the waning of Its power and In liuencc. nightly used, society has need or all of It.
