Oct a via Weston's' clf.ir, swet voic ram like a trunijet tiiiouli the des olatcil old :irret. where the red glow jol" t-isiiset yet linszereil amitl dark cr.is-be.itiiS :inl festontis ofnoliwebs.. land out lrotn a particular nook when the iigiit s-hown l.mgf.t, and the- huge c!iets and piles of lumber I had been draped partially away i from the window edt:e,carne a brown 'skinned, jet-pycl youi'm cirl, lier black hair twited into a knot at the back of her head, and her eyebrows knittwl. as if in ircoccu:iation nf Fome nature. "Well T said shortly. "What a little, old mole yu are to he burtv' said Octaviu, ''to btinow here, when all the world is out in the woods, picking up chestnuts and lathering autunan leave?. Writing poetry, are you, or correcting the ex ercises of those horrid little girl in the ixth class? Olive, Olive, 1 won tier vou don't drown yourself. sure I frhuuld. if 1 were in your place."' 'What is it you want, Octavia?'' saiil (Hive, hrus'iuely. "I want yon to sketch the letter G on thi niece ol paper. Somethiug oririn.il and fantastic, you know, and illustrate it for me in gold-leaf and colors, that's a darling. I must have it this) evening a. S o'clock." "I don't Fee how I can finish it," !sail Olive, rouhinp; up her black iocks with a mechanical hand it wan always to this mane of hers that l;e reported when f-he was in a quan dary and staring intently at the ceiling, as if peeking for inspiration there. "Oh, ye?, yu can ! And I'll lend you my lockVt t. wear at the picnic. Do try there's a love," urged Octa via. Olive caucrht up the pencil and hurriedly sketched the initial a (itithic letter, twined in and out of a i ruined, ivy-gnswn ca?etnent. "Will this do?'' paid she. "Oh,"' cried Oetavia, "it ia xqui isite! After Ihe ultra-marine and jmild leaf are in. it will be perfect." ! "Leave it. then," said Olive, "and I vou shall have it at the children'! tea. Uut I don't want your locket. Jewelry is well enough, but not when it is borrowed." "How funny you are, Olive Dent," paid Miss Weston. liutshe withdrew in radiant good humor. "Olive never likes to be talked t when she has one f her inspired fits on," thought she. "But the letter is j exquisite, and the professor is sure to lie pleased with it. Octavia Weston and Olive Dent were both pupils of Mrs. Hunt ted- lev, who kept a fashionable institute ! fur young ladies. Octavia was the daughtTr of an impecunious naval oflicer, who had not paid any of her bills very lately, but whose beMiTy and good humor mad her a univers.il favorite. Moreover, 1'rofessor Anderton. who had instructed the girl of the ; school in literature and belles-letters. before the areat fortune had been bequeathed to him Wa distant re lative, and who still cams) daily from ! Anderton Priory to give his lessons, : simply, he said, because he liked it, ! had fallen in love with herdeep com 'plexion and brilliant eye, and this, in the estimation ef the Hunt-Sedley ! institute, was distinction indeed, i Olive, on the contrary, was an or i phan, with no friends and relatives f in particular, except one elderly aunt, who wanted very much to get ' rid of her, and phe earned her tuition i in the higher clashes by giving in I structions to the little ones, mending j their clothes, and patiently perform ; in all such offices as these. ; Olive was no beauty ; but there j was something very winning in her ' frank, open manner, her earnestness ! about everything ehe undertook. ' And the clear healthful tinge of her brawn cheeks, and the intense vel i vety blackness of her eyes w yeiy j pleasant to look upon, i ne worked patiently awav at the 'illuminated letter until dark; and. i when at last it was nnished, she put jit in her portfolio and carried it down into the second-class room, ' where Professor Andertn eat read 1 ins bv the light of a student lamp. : "Well ?" he eaid, kindly. I "I have been busy," paid Olive. "I could not come before. Here are my drawings. Now I want you, pro I fessor, to tell me truly, if yen think ! I have any chance ol succeeding as jan artist." j Silently he turned over the sketch . es. She sat arid watched him with charging color and intent eyes. "No," he said at last She looked up with an eiclarua- I I I j tion of pain. ESTABLISHED, 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. MARCH 26, IS84. "Have. I hurt you, my poor Ol ive?" said he. "But you wanted me to be frank. You have originality, taste, power, but not enough f these to warrant you in entering upon the lists f the artist world. Stop! Is this illuminated letter yours the letter "ti ?"' "It is one I have been designing for a friend," said Olive, coloring a little. "It is very pretty. But, pardon me, it does not look like an artist's finished work. Is my frankness tD cruel? Am I netting barbarous?" "No," said Olive. "I want you to tell iwe the truth." He looked at her with pitying kindness. How strange it was that he had never before noticed how bright and spirited was her face how softly brilliant her eyes. "She is a jewel among women," he said to himself. "And it is I that am doomed to cut her so cruelly to the heart I feel like the viviaector, with the knife at the lamb's white throat." But a he turned over the draw ings mechanically, other designs fell out the very ones that Octavia Weston had at different times given him for birthday and anniver sary gifts the beautiful drawings which Octavia had claimed as her own work. "Are these all yours ?" he asked, abruptly. "Yes,"' she answered. "Let me have them nsw. Mr. Anderton. Mrs. Sedley needs me. at ix, to get the infant class ready for lea." That evening Octavia Weston gave her lover the illuminated letter O that he had seen in Miss Dent's portfolio. '"( is for Gerald," she said, arch ly. "See what I have been doing for you !" Professor Anderton looked sharp ly at her. " "Is this all your work, Octavia?" said he, wilh a curious sensation, as though his faith in ail the world was beincf undermined. "All mine," she answered, and pouted a little. Professor Anderton observed her cravely. Of latu he had bemin to question himself, now and then, whether blue eyes and rose leaf cheeks could meet all the needs of a man's existence. And now that those full, scarlet lips had deliber ately uttered a falsehood, the pure spirit-love died out at once, almost without a pang. Was it because he loved Olive Dent? Had one affection supplant ed the ot'ier? He scarcely dared ask himself the question. He was atieent and silent all the evening. Octavia had never found hi mi so little entertaining, and when at last he went away, she drew a long sigh of relief. " "Now," she said to herself. "I shall have a chance to talk a little with poor, dear Algernon. The pro fessor crows prasier everv day, I think."' And winding her head in a fleecy Shetland scarf, Octavia Weston stole down into the dewy garden, where a handsome young man was yawning in a summer house, with only the crickets and owls for company. "Sweetest," he cried, "I thought you never were coming." "And go did I," said Octavia, laughingly, releasing herself from his clasp. "I thought that tiresome old professor never wtrnld go." It was nearly midnight before Oc tavia Wtston crept into the little room which she shared with Olive Dent. But, quiet though she was, Olive heard her. "Octavia," pleaded the elder girl,( "is this right ?" "Dear old Miss Precise, leave off scnlding,'' said Octavia, playfully. "Of curse it's right." "You are cold ; you shiver." "No, I don't," said Octavia, begin ning to be impatient. "Dots Mrs. Sedley know?" asked Olive. ' "No !" sharply retorted Octavia. "Octavia, are you treating Profes sor Anderton right 'r1" urged Olive, growing more serious atill. "Professor Anderton is quite ca pable of taking care of himself." re tort' d the beauty. "Octavia." persisted Olive, "I be lieve it is my duty to consult Mrs. Sedley as to this new whim of yours." "If you do," cried Octavia, "I'll elope to-morrow niLrht." "But what shalf I do?" pleaded poor, conscientious Olive. "Why, mind yonr own business, of course," said Octavia, silencing her with a kiss. "And now co to sleep, there's a darling, and don't preach at me any longer." But Octavia herself did not go to sleep. For almost the first time in ht r life, she la- awake until dawn, thinking. For she felt that the turning point in her life had come at last. "Professor Anderton to see me!" she exclaimed, when litttle Amy Grace brought her the message, at ten o'clock. "Why, is-n't that fun ny? I was just thinking of asking leave to speak with him." And Octavia Weston went, with flaming cheeks and downcast eyes, into the little reception room, where her middle aged lover awaited her. "Octavia," he said, gently, "I have come to ask you ' "Please don't ask me to be mar ried !" interrupted the girl, "because because I think in fact, I am al most sure, I've made a mistake. Oh, don't speak to me. Let me tell the whole story out and free my mind. I love somebody else !" "S do I said the professor. "I, too. Miss Weston, have erred in reading my own heart" "Oh, I'm so glad," said Octavia brightly. "And youU reallv let me off from the eneagement?" "I most certainly shall absolve you from your plighted troth," said Professor Anderton, half smiling at her school-girl earnestness. So Octavia married Algernon Are nal, and her elder lover was left to woo and win sweet Olive Dent, who, in her sweet humility, could scarce ly Ielieve that she was worthy any man's affection. She had made rip her mind to a A. ID life ef twilight obscurity, an exist ence of monotony. "But are you quite sure you love me ?" she asked of the grave profes sor. "Entirely sure," he responded. "But 1 don't see why," she urged. "Because, my own precious one," Anderton unswered, "you are pure and true you are unselfish and lovely. Octavia Weston was a mere sparkling will-o' the-wisp; you are a star, shining high above earth's mists and damps." And when he put his arm around her and looked into her eyes, Oiive Dent knew that ho loved her, as she had always hopelessly longed to be loved. And she had come into the bless ed inheritance of her womanhood at last. Grant and Sherman at VickstMirg. General Sherman's portrait is the frontispiece of the January Century, and to commemorate his retirement from the army, the magazine prints an anecdotal sketch of his life, by E. V. Smalley. General Grant has helped to make the paper authori tative by giving information and by reading the proofs. The cordial re lations 'of the two leading generals of the war are indicated in the fol lowing extract : "Certain incidents connected with the Vicksburg campaign of lCoare well worth narrating here, as show ing General Sherman's lack of jeal ousy and egotism which marred the characters of many of the generals of the late war. All that rainy win ter, when the eountry along the Mis sissippi was Hooded, and the army was inactive, General Grant held to a purpose, never once divulged to any person, tf sending the fleet past the Vicksburg batteries when the spring opened, and throwing his army below the town to invest it from the South. When fair weath er came, he secured the co-operation of Admiral IVrter, and then is sued his orders to his division com manders. Sherman's part ia the plan was to ga up the Yazoo and make a feint against Maine's Bluff. " When he received hi orders, he hastened to Grant's headquarters and argued against what seemed a very hazardous moe. He thought Grant was placing himself in a posi- j tiu where an enemy would have maneuvered a year to get him a hostile force on both sidss of him, and one of them between him and ins base of supplies. Sherman fail ed to convince Grant, who had been cut off from his base at Oxford some months before, and had learned that he could subsist an army upon the country. Besides, he believed that, in the critical condition of opinion in the North, a great ritk ought to betaken for the prospect of a great success. In a letter to Rawlins, Grant's chief of staff, written next day, Sherman reiterated his objec tions to the plan of campaign. The letter was shown to Grant and re mained unanswered. With perfect loyalty to his chief, and without the least feeling of resentment for the re jection of his plan of falling back on Memphis and operating on the line of the railroad, Sherman carried out his plan of the campaign as zealous ly and energetically as though the whole scheme had been his own. During eighteen days of forced marohes and fighting and forty-nine days of siege, lie did not once take off his clothes to sleep. "After Grant's forces had crossed the Big Black, Sherman was given the lead in the advance upon Vicks burg. These two generals rode out one morning ahead of the marching columns, careless of the occasional bullets that came whistling by from squads ot retreating rebel pickets. They reached the top of Walnut Hill, where Pembertan, the Confed erate general, had occupied the year before, and which Sherman had in vain assaulted from the low land in front. There Sherman exclaimed with enthusiasm : " Grant, this is the biggest cam paign in history. You ought to write a report on it at once. Napo leon never made a campaign like this." A few days later, when Sherman was holding the lines lacing east from the Big Blnck to Haines' Bluff, Governor Yates came down from Illinois to visit the camps, accom panied by all the State officers. As Grant was passing along the lines one day, he came upon Sherman, whose bask was towards him, and who was saying to a knot of Illinois visitors: "This is the greatest campaign in history, and Grant deserves ail the credit for it. I wrote him a letter before we started, in opposition to the whole plan." Now, the letter was never sent to the War Department, nor made public in any way, and Sherman need not have mentioned it ; but he was not willing to have any credit given to him which belonged to Grant. 1'ricea in New York.

With many it is natural. From early childiiOod there are tlne who ap pear to need astronger person to lean on. Like vines ihat must cling to trees for support, some persons are ever feeling after astronger influence U bear them up. Whether this can tie oven oin where it is inherent, is a question, it has been argued that it cannot. And yet there are cases where under stress t f circumstances natures that before were weak ami yielding, have become strong and vigorous. It has often been re marked that women on shipboard have shown in time of distress, for titude and courage greater than that of strong men. it thus seems clear that this quality may be summoned when occasion demands it. Can it be cultivated for the ordinary ues of life? Self-reliance is dependence on self in emergencies and amid all the du ties and struggles of life. Some idea of what we are the habit of self de pendence is a preparation fur this. And in order to accomplish this we believe the more responsibly chil dren are made to assume at home, the better for them. For example, a round of duties may be assigned, for the regular and correct perform ance of which they are held respon sible. This supposes that they be not reminded of those tiuties from day to day, but expected to think of and attend t them. It may be the care of a room, the setting apart of certain hour for study, and looking after certain chores. No Matter what responsibility is attached, and the children then left. If careless, it is evident that it is weak in a very important particular. And educa tion along this line, may be regular and constant. It is, however, only the beginning. In a mere advanced stage this ele aicnt assumes the exercise of judg ment For a child to merely pur form routine service does not bring in play faculties which tend to srh reliar.ee. As a rule, self-reliant per sons are those who have decided opinions, and confidence in them. They thus act. And judgment niut tie exercised in order to strengthen and grow. As a rule, the best way to promote this is to compel its ex ercise, and then aid by encouraging criticism. Fault-finding criticism is nt'. as a rule, good. It tends to em barrass and discourage. But by pointing out errors with judicious prais", where deserved, and encour aging assurances, this quality may be strengthened. We remember a bov who for years could not be learned to observe. Censure, abu.-e, ridi'-n'e and scorn only confused a'ni discouraged. One day a gen tleman pointed out particulars of certain obj-cts in a plea-ant, kindly way. The dormant faculties were arou-ed 1:1 the boy, and his power f observation rapidly grew. So with judgment. It is a faculty that can be cultivated and encouraged. ' But all mental and even moral (qualities need to bo encouraged, not i driven. Theso can behest promoted I in this way. A lout may be driven j to manual labor, but the intelligent j inusr be encouraged. So with moral qualities. And selt-reliance is a moral quality, based on a certain appreciation ef our intellectual fac ulties. This quality may lie so pro moted that the possessor may be in flexibly tenacious in any pursuit in life. And it is this self-reliant te nacity that reaches ultimate success. In many cases the difference in suc cess or failure is that of self-reliarce and tenacity in the promoter of an enterprise.
