I think it is over, over
s' think it is over at last;
Voices of foeruan and lover.
The sweet and the bitter, have pasweU;
Life, like a teniiiest of ocean.
Hath outblown lta ultimate blait.
There's but a taint sobbing seaward.
While the calm of the tide deepens leeward,
And lielmld ! like the welcoming nuiver
nf birt.niil throbbed thronuh the river,
Those lights in the Harbor at last
The heavenly Harbor at last !
I feel it is over, over
The winds and the waters surcease;
How few were the days of the Rover
That smiled in the beauty of ia-e:
And distant and dint was the omen
That hirted redrews or release.
From the ravage of Life, and its riot,
What marvel I yoara for the quiet
Which bides in this Harbor at last?
For the lights, with their welcoming quiver.
That throb through the sanctified river
Which girdU the Harbor at last
The heavenly Harlior at last?
I know it is over, over
I know it is over at last;
For the -tress of the voya has iswt;
Life, like a tempest of ocean,
Hutu outblown its ultimate blast.
There's but a faint sobbing seaward.
While the calm ot the tide deeens leeward,
And behold! like the welcoming quiver
Of heart jmlses throbbed through the river,
Those light in the Harbor at last
The heavenly Harbor at last !

KAIR SCHEMERS.
'Mistletoe!" cried Alma Field.
"Real, dark green, glossy mistletoe !
Oh, Frances, where did -ou lind
it?'
The snow-niDtled fields were all
crimsoned with the flush of sunset
Far in the distance old Mount
Washington lifted 'his white peak
against the steel-gray sky; in the
valley the frozen river seemed turn
ed to a sheet of crystal, while the
woods were full of that cracklin?,
magnetic sound which often thrills
a leaflless copse at nightfall.
And the three girls standing at
the stile had cheeks like roses in the
keen winter air.
"I found it just here on the old
broken branch which hd fallen
witii the weight of the snow," said
Frances Purple, a tail, slight, sol
emn-eyed girl in a dress of shabby
brown merino with dyed ribbons at
her throat.
"Give me some !" exclaimed Mary
Wallace, "to hang over my pillow
to-night. Mistletoe means good
luck, you know, and to-night is St.
aler.tine s eve.
"Nonsense !" said Frances, a little
curtly.
Mary Wallace shook back her
yellow curls she was one of those
graceful, elf-like creatures to whom
such capricious motions are infinite
ly Iiecoming and laughed.
Alma Field shrugged her shoal
ders.
"France? will never marrv," said
she.
"No," said
nosedlv, "I
Frances Purple,
don't think I
com
ever
shall."
All this time Mr. Murray, stand-
a . 1 .11
ing leaning ngainsi me sine, naa
watched the three bright faces with
a certain grave interest.
"Why not" he asked, abruptly.
"One" reason is because I don't
want to, Frances answered, with
equal bruskeness.
..Au . a .i-VT
Uta, prances! cried Alma, -now
can you tell sucn snocmng stories
right here under the mistletoe ?"
, , w w . aT 1 t 1
"Uitn aiary ana Airaa n is an
ferent," said Frances, speaking more
gently, as if she half repented her
former sharpness of tone. "The
world is softer to them. I am a
working bee. I have my own living
to earn, and I have no time to spend
in romance."
She took up the dark green clus-'
ter of mistletoe as 6he spoke, and
walked quickly on.
"Poor Frances ! ' said Wary, apol
ogetically. "She is really gettins to
be quite a crabbed old maid."
" hat does she mean by being a
working bee?" said Mr. Murray, as
he helped pretty Alma over tlie un
even stones of the stile.
"Didn't von know?" said Alma.
"She has taken Miss Tint's position
in the telegraph office. Eight hour
daily and two on Sundays and holi
days. Isn't it dreadful !"
f'But why did she do that?" per
sisted Murray, gathering up the
scattered sprigs of mistletoe for his
companions.
"Poor, dear Frances always was
peculiar," said Mary.
"And, of course, I wouldn't say a
word against her for the world,"
added Alma, artlessly ; "but I think
she's a little inclined to lie avari
cious.
Rudolph Murray walked with
Alma and Mary a far as the old
red-brick house and there left them,
with some merry allusion to t. Yal
entine's morn.
While the two-girls, running into
the house, flung their mistletoe on
the hall table, and came into the
great, low-ceiled sitting-room, where
a fire of pine logs blazed upon the
stone hearth.
Frances Purple was there quietly
moving around intent on some
household duty 5 for tjie three con
sins lived with an old aunt whose
means were limited, and there was
no servant kept in the establish
ment "Oh, Fram es," cried Alma, angri
ly, "why did you tell Mr. Murray
that you were a working girl ?"
"Because it was the truth," said
Frances. '
"But truth isn't to be spoken on
all occasions," flashed out Marv.
"What will he think I"
Frances bit her lip.
"Why should I care what he
thinks !" said she.
"Isn't it enough to do as you have
done without publishing it to the
whole world?" complained Mary. '
"Frances is such a strange, odd
girl," said Alma. "I believe she
wants yes, actually wanu to die
f an old maid P
"I should rather do that," said
Frances, "than to win a husband
under false pretenses."
"It's no such thing, if you mean
me," retorted Mary, stung into sud
den animation. "Papa was a naval
officer and how is any one to know
sot

1 that he was cxbiered before he died ?
! and I should be a great heiress if
only niT CTeat uncle had succeeded
.0 . .... .
in establishing his claim on the Hat-
I lands of Boston !"
! While Alma surveyed her dimpled
i face in the quaint oval mirror above
the wooden mantel.
"Now, girls, don't go to getting
cited," said she. "or you'll Le as
! exCl
wrinkled
and old-lookin? as the
wiches in 'Macbeth.' If I win a
husband it shall be through my own
' personal attractions. I'm not a gen
J ius like Frances there, nor a schemer
j like Polly, but I'll waeer my inoss
j agate bret-stpin against ; anything
I you please to mention that I'm mar
i ried the first of the three."
j And she complacently: fnstended
'a spray of the glossy black-green
leaves into her bright brown hair.
'"Now," she said, wilh a smile
which revealed teeth like seed-pearls,
"I wonder I do wonder wto is
j going to be our Valentine?" I You will love me a little in return?
; "Is that the reason," said Mary, ! You will be my wife?"
j suddenly, "that you hive changed j "Why did you not say this be
i vour room to the front of the house? j fore?" she hesitated.
i A ln... I ilmn V Ar.,1 ttii tnlb nf r.ri '-U'hn .K.J ...... .!,..
Alma! Alma! And you talk of my
Aiuia . .iiiuu. . . 1 j .. v. ...j
being a schemer !" f
'All is fair in love and w ar," said
Alma, with a merry nod of the head :
"and I like a prospect of the road as
well as any one." -
Mary Wallace bit Ler lip, inward
ly resolving not to be circumvented.
" Ten minutes afterward, she went
out into the kitchen where Aunt
Pha-be was rtirring up waffles for
tea. ;
"Is your cold bet ter, auntie dear?"
she asked.
"Well, it's only so-so," groaned
the old lady, who was one of the
ptsfciinists of the world. "And
there's a dreadful stitch in my side
whenever I go to bend over."
"Poor aunty !'? cooed Mary. "Ill
tell you what" you must do lie in
bed comfortably to-morrow morn
ing, and let me get up and see to
things."
Aunt Plnt'be viewed ,her niece
through her spectacle glasses with
unfeigned surprise. What had come
to Mary all of a sudden to make her
so affectionate and self-sacrificing?
"Well," said she, "I don't know but
it would le a sort of rfst for me, just
for once in a way."
And Marv went back to tlie sit
ting-room, quietly determining to be
the very first one up in the house
the next morning.
"And if I should be opening the
window-shutters of the kitchen just
at sunrise, she thought, "and Mr.
Murray should come down the road
on that superb white horse of his to
get the early train, it would be so
delightful to be his Valentine, and
Alma would be so furious !"
"Girls,": croaked Aunt . Phu-be,
putting her gray-pufi'ed head into
the room, "I forgot to tell you old
Miss Peppercorn's folks have lieen
here for watchers, and I promised
'em that one of you should go there
pnd set up to-night,"
"Good gracious me! 1 hope its
nothing catching!" said Alm.i, with
a shiver.
"I shan't go !" said Mary, petu
lantly. "People have 110 business
to be sick if they can't afford to hire
proier attendance !"
"And it's St. Valentine's eve, too."
said Alma. "Resides, I never could
sit up with sick people it makes
such dreadful blister-colored circles

"But I promised," said Aunt
Pheo-be, looking helplew-ly from one
to the other. "And Frances can't
go because of the telegraph office,
and "

a desolate old maid nersen some
day," said Alma, maliciously. i
"I think it extremely probable,"
admitted Frances, good-humortdly ; j
"and then, perhaps, I may need j
some one to care for me."
"Well, it won't le me," said Mary.
"I do hate sickness and sick people,
especially if they are old and ugly
like Miss Peppercorn."
And she gave her golden tresses a
backward toss, as if she Mieved
herself to le gifted with eternal
youth.
Just when Mary and Alma were
nettling down among their pillow
with the sprigs of mistletoe hanging
over their heads, to dream of love
and lovers in the frozen starlight of
the winter night, Frances Purple,
wrapped in one of Aunt Phrbe's
gray linsey cloaks, was clitiing across
the snowy knes to the little one
storied farmhouse where jioor old
Hepsebah Peppercorn Jay breathing
her life away.
All night long she kept her sad
vigil ; and when the poor old woman
died it was Frances Purple's gentle
arm that supported her head
Frances Purple' sweet voice that
whispered words of hope and 6acred
cheer into her benumbed ear.
And then she closed the glazing
eyes with all a sister of mercy's ten
derness, and stood looking down
upon the small, withered form an
instant ere she called tlie attend
ants. "She is gone home!" she said to
herself. "All her weary pilgrimage
is ended !"
And, for a moment only, Frances
almost envied the dead woman.
Going back across the fields, with
the red streak of sunshine beginning;

"But I never expected to see you

"I have

feeling herself blush a vivid scarlet.
"I am going home. Good-moraine,
; Mr. Murray !"
Rut he stood directly across the
narrow foot-path,

said, "have you for

through this red sunrise? Don't
you know that you are my Valen

nor yet beautiful Alma," said Fran
ces, a little nervously.
"No," said Mr. Murray, taking
her hands ; i-but you are Frances

my eyes, lou are the girl 1 love

''Because because I fancied
that
no one cared for me," said Frances,
with downcast eyelids.
"And what is your opinion upon
the subject now?"
She hid her face upon his shoul-
j der, as he tenderly drew her close to
him.
"Oh," she whispered, "what have
I done to deserve a happiness so
great as tins ?"
Long, long before the pink glow
brightened the snowy crests of the
hills Alma Field was peeping
through the blinds, in her prettiest
dress, with the mistletoe braided
into her wonderfully-tinted bronze
hair. Earlier still the thrifty Mary
had opened the lower part of the
house and was sweeping off the
stoop, with a pink silk handkerchief
twisted jauntilv around her golden
curb. And, a-lack-day ! the only
masculine creatures whose appear
ance rewarded their vigils were
Squire Ilotchkiss' donkey straying
in an objectless manner down the
hi"h road, and old Deacon Penfold
driving to market with a load of
russet apples,
But when Frances Purple came in
to tlie very indifferent breakfast
which Mary Wallace had grudging
ly prepared, her face was brighter
than the sunrise itself.
"Well," said Aunt Piiti be, lugu
briously, "so old Miss Peppercorn's
deadl It does appear to me that
there is nothing but trouble in this
world I"
"Oh, yes, Aunt Phtebe, there's
something else !" pleaded Frances,
brightly. "Because I met mv al-
entine this morning as I was coming
home through Poinsett woods.
"What !" cried Alma and Mary in
chorus.
"It was Mr. Murray," confessed
Frances, "and lie aske( nie to marry
him, and he said he had loved me
for a long, long while ; and so we
are engaged."
Alma and Mary looked at each
other with the blank faces of young
women who see that they have been
outgeneraled.
"Oh !" said Mary.
"I thought you wer-j going to be
an old maid!" acidly remarked
Alma.
"I did think so," said Frances, in
alow voice; "but I have changed
my mind."
A Southern Type-
In the South one soon meets the
young man, a lawyer, or editor, or
physican, who will talK lor hours,
to any one who will listen, of the
suieriority of the South; its people
and its civilization, over the North
and everything Northern. He al
ways talk well, and is usually a very
good fellow, but he proceeds entirely
upon the o jriwrt method, and his
conclusions have little relation to
the facts of life. He knows little of
his own region of the country, and
nothing whatever of any other.
Young men of this t'pe always
dwell with nroud and endless itera-
tion on "thesunerior purity of South-
em women." heirVr&tence ;

CHAPTER XII.
Hints for Home Study is the sub
ject to which I propose devoting this
cnapter.
Education is only valuable in so
tar as it has taught us how to live,
how to act, how to think, how to
study, and, I will add, how to work,
All this knowledge is the result of
drill, of practice. ere a person to
appear in the world who could at
once perform any required opera
tion, of any branch of science, who
could perform any of the delicate
manipulations of the arts at once
and without the necessity of learn
ing how to perform them, such i
man could not be called an educat
ed man; he would not be educated
in anv proper sense of the term
Education implies two things: "r
drawing out" and "a pouring in pro
cess." Many teachers confine them
selves entirely to the latter; a much
less number confine themselves en
tirely to the latter. Such teaching
always make me think of a ju
when it is full you may pour out, but
the rluid will run away and be lost
hen it is empty you may turn it
upside down, but you get nothing
more out of it
The proper mode is a combina
tion of the two. He who has been
educated, in the true sense of the
term, will know how to issist him
self in the various exigencies which
will and must arise during the jour
ney of lite. I have elsewhere re
marked that no arithmetic can con
tain all the various questions that
may arise. hue this is truu, any
one who has thoroughly studied this
branch will know how to attack anv
possible question.
Just so it is all through life; the
educated person knows how to help
himself.
Of what practical benefit is it if a
bov can solve all the problems in
his arithmetic and cannot tell his
father the interest on a promissory
note? Of what practical benefit is
it for a young lady to be able to jab
ber rrench, and howl Italian songs.
if she cannot write a common note
without misspelling? Instances
might be enumerated; they are as
plenty as blackberries, but it is un
necessary.
Education, when properly con
ducted, will modify our desires, and
enable us to control our passions,
Education, says Novalis. "is a
completely fashioned will" The
definition Is a good one to my mind
A child will cry to have the reflec
tion of the moon in the water in its
hands: it is no use to tell it that it
cannot get it; it will scream all the
louder. Iet it find by experiment
that it actually cannot obtain it, ed
ucate it that far, fashion its will to
that degree, it will cease screaming
and will never again cry for the
same object You have given it just
that amount of education.
I presume, however, tl at the
teacher has tieen so far educated that
he knows how to help himself. How
shall we manage our private read
ing our "home study?" Many
young men honestly think they have
no time to devote to home study.
They would very willingly, they
say, study .if they could just see
how to put in the time, or, rather,
how to get the time. It ia for the
benefit of this class of young men
that I am writing this chapter. You
cannot expect to do anything, I
mean anything that will be specially
profitable to you in the way of home
study, unless you make a systematic
division of your time, so that you
may know how much time you have
to devote to study. Having discov
ered when you can study and how
long, the next thing is for you to de
cide what you shall study. Do not
aim to study too much, especially if
your time is limited. I can only il
lustrate my meaning, and my illus
trations are presented as such,and not
, ,
ias you wouia, pernaps, tune up
works to study. In axyanging your
time you find" that you Lave an hour
at your disposal, and you find that
you also have an hour in the early

man" is right, and the
son is too lazy to deserve any sym-;
pathy. ;
Two boys were talking 01 some
excursion, and it was necessary ior
one of them to obtain the permis
sion of his father, who, unknown
w I
to them, was working in the garden
other side 01 a nign ooara
. . f 111 .i
fence.
"Jim, you must go and ask father
in regard to me; tell him your father
permits you to go, and I think hell
let me go."
d
WHOLE NO. 1617.
"WelL John, of course I can do it,
but it really seems to me that you
are the more proper one to go and
ask vour own father's permission."
"Yes. I know Jim, it would seem
so, but then, you see, I'm not very
well acquainted with him.
Here we have the cause of many
misunderstandings, and I doubt not
of many a wasted life. Parents are
not very well acquainted with their
children, and children are not very
well acquainted with their parents.
Why are they not very well acquaint
ed with each other? Who has a bet
ter right to be very well acquainted?
Many a boy thinks he is perfectly
lucky if he can keep his fattier from
knowing anything about him, and
many a father never makes any at
tempt to know anything concerning
his son, hence they are never very
well acquainted with each other.
In the case of misunderstanding
I have referred to above, if the fath
er and son were very well acquaint
ed with each other would it be pos
sible for such a misunderstanding to
exist? Could the son wish to pur
sue a certain course, and the father
desire him to pursue the very same
course, and yet the son pursue a
course directly opposite? Never.
Verily they are not acquainted with
each other. Sons, you want to get
acquainted with your fathers, and
fathers you want to get very well ac
quainted with your sons, and in the
future years there will be fewer sto
ries of "wasted lives" to write.
Some young man may say: "But
I have not got an hour that I can
call my own. My time is all taken
up. I bis may be true; it so, I
pity your case; but if all your time
is occupied vou may console your
self with the reflection that iTror-
ance is not your fault but your mis
fortune.
But do vou not mistake the mat
ter? Is all your time employed?
What would you think of studying
a Latin grammar while blowing the
bellows in a smith's shop? Elihu
Burritt did that, and "the learned
blacksmith" is a household word in
more countries than ours. How
many languages did he understand?
You mav look the matter up for
yourself, "and when found make a
note of it, as our old friend Captain
Cuttle would sav. But vou must
not suppose that Burritt was under
the necessity of studying ail the lan
guages he understood in ttie manner
1 have indicated. No; his very zeal,
his indomitable will made him
friends, and the same means will
make you friends. I might men
tion many more instances to show
what can be done by the undaunt
ed courage which will attempt to
overleap any obstacle, which will
find a way or make one.
An Lnglishman, who was in the
British House of Commons, was
taunted by an opponent with the
fact that he had formerly been a cob
bler. Mark his reply. "Had vou.
Sir. been a cobbler, you would be a
cobbler still." This is one of the
most caustic things that I remember
to have met with anywhere.
Never allow such a retort to be
possible to vou. Improve whatever
time you have; if much, so much
the better for you; if little, so much
the more need to improve it.
Manyayaung man too may say:
I have not the money to invest in
the books you have mentioned.
Many of them are costly, ard I can
never obtain them." Pcrsevereance
and economy will do great thing?.
Remember I told you not to think of
buying all these books at once. I
will add here do not buy any large
part of them at once. I have seen
a man unaccustomed to that mode
of dining sat himself at the table
with a long "bill of fare" lefore
him, and in the plentitude of dishes
not know what to order. Just so
would it be with you should you or
der many books at a time. Order
them as you can. I have not given
publishers, lest it might be supposed
that I am interested in someof these
works, or, rather, in the sale of them.
I am not, but I am very greatly in
terested in seeing the young men of
our county pushing ahead. I am
interested in seeing our county the
"banner county" of the State in the
character of her teachers and in the
exi-ellenre of her schools. There is

A new self-recording barometer
by a Belgian inventor is thus de

is fixedly suspended. The cistern
is a tube slightly wider and nearly

are simply referred elsewhere, an.l

UinVrcnee how "jwrsonal, private or

marked, it does not go by the desk
of the private secretary unopened.
Letters from relatives or intimate
friends are sent to the President just
as they are received, but all other
lttters of a character worthy of be
ing called to his attention are sim
ply "briefed," so that the President
can see at a glance what is wanted.
Applicants for office who write to
the White House are alwavs refer

custom of late years to send out to
every such applicant a polite form
ula, saying that the application has
been referred to such and such a de

minded correspondents of the Ex
ecutive construe the receipt of this
formula as one of the most import
ant steps in the war of securing the
desired office. One happy man who
recently received one of these form
ulas wrote in reply that his gratitude
over the receipt of the same was "as
big as a Elefent" He then added
then when he should get his dace
his gratitude would be "as big as 2

is really as full of encouragement as
the editor's polit? "rejected with

of returned manuscript But no
amount of ill success has any dis
couraging effect upon the people
who write to the President for infor
mation, advice, money or office. Out
of the ),tKM,l.0OO of" people in this
country there is always a daily num
ber who flatter themselves that they
are not wasting gxd paper, pens,
and ink by writing to the trriieiit

It was in the cars. The ladies
were sitting together, busily engaged
in conversation. On the seat lacing
them sat a five-year old boy. He
had been looking out of the window,
apparently absorbed in the moving
panorama of the outside world.
Suddenly he turned from the win
dow; he began searching about the
car, exclaiming in a high, piping
voice:
"Mamma, which man is ittliat
looks so funny?"
"Sh !" cautioned his mother. But
the loy was not to be hushed.
"I don't see the man with the bald
head and the funny red nose."
The "sh" was repeated. By this
time the car was in a titter, save and
excepting one elderly gentleman
with a very bald head and the funny
red nose. JIis eyes were nvited
upon his paper with a fixedness that
was quite frightful. Again the boy:
"Oh ! now I see him ! what a
bright none ! What makes it so red,
mamma?"
"Georgie !" shouted his mother, in
a stage whisper. But George was
not to be stopped.
"Mamma," he continued, "what
made you say he had a lighthouse
on his face? I dont spp any light
house." Again "Georgie!" and this time
with a slight shake.
Once more the piping voice, the
bald-headed passenger gazing at his
paper more fiercely than ever, and
grower redder every moment
"Mamma, I don't think his head
looks like the State House dome.
Its shiny like it. but it isn't so val
ler." While the titter went round again
George's mother whispered rapidly
to the loy and gave her hopeful a
box on each ear, which seemed to
partially divert his attention from
the bald-headed passenger, but not
entirely. Hecried once more through
his tears:
"You said his nose was red as a
beet, mamma; I didn't say nothing."
Strange to say, the bald-headed
passenger didn't take any part in the
suppressed laughter that followed,
but he put on his hat and hid his
nose in his paper, over which he
glared at the boy as though he want
ed to eat him.
Plaining Oyster.
The oyster business in these wa
ters is now very active and has
reiiched an interesting stage "the
planting." There are at least thirty
vessels engaged in the business.
The oyster "plants' grow in the
mouth of James river, some eighty
miles from this place, and it takes a
trip of about five days for a good
schooner, with fnvorable winds, to
make the trip, get a load and return.
I Every morning a fleet leaves this
six cents per ousnei, making ironi
$2 to per day. A favorable trip
of from twelve to fifteen hours puts
the vessel in Chincoteague bay,

The whole cost of planting to the
