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."

SLIPPING IT INTO IIBR, HANDS WHEN NOBODY WAS LOOKING.

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

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.

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.

The speaker then pointed to what he
termed tho weakness that has beset a largo
part of journalism, although the latter was
never so colossal as at present a weak-
ness that he traced to waning public con
lldence In the accuracy and Integrity of
the newspaper, and due In part to the tre
mendous pace at which the newspaper
world is compelled to move. 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. If employed in the support or
religion, government and school, to shield
the lights and llbeitles of the people, then
are Its services equal to those of the be3t
clvilzatlon; then is the calling of the Jour
nalist equal In distinction to tho highest
In the land.''
