A kiss be took and a backward look, And ber heart grew suddenly lighter, A trifle you say, to color a day. Yet tbe dull gray morn seemed brighter. For hearts are such that a tender touch May banish a look of sadness ; A small, alight thing can make as sing. But a frown will check our gladness. The cherished ray along our way la the little act of kindness. And the keenest sting some careles thing That was dune in a moment of blindness. We can bravely face life io a borne where strife No foothold can discover, And the lovers still if we only will. Though youth's bright days are over. Ah, sharp as swords cut the unkind words That are far beyond recalling, When a faoe lies hid neath a colli n-lid And bitter tears are (ailing.

A dear little nest of a home, hidden away in a perfect wilderness of tree, and Bh rubbery, with here and there a ghmpeei of the blue, sparkling river, which has only a short way to run before it meets the big, foaming ocean wave?. W e bad lived here all our lives May, an orphan cousin, and myself. This qnaint little cottage of ours abounds in quiet nooks and cozy rooms, with low windows opening upon a French piazza. and the piazza itself, with its screen of fragrant honeysuckle vines, such a char ming place for flirtations! At least so think May and I, w ho have most thor oughly tested its advantages in that re spect. Indeed, here, on its broad steps one summer right not long ao, sat Tom Hil dreth and I, apparently so deeply engag ed in this most delightful of pastimes as to be quite oblivious to all save our own precious selves. I say apparently, as a close observer would most certainly have detected the lugubrious expression marr ing Tom ' handsome features, while the frequently uttered exclamations of impa tience could never be mistaken for words of endearment. When our old playmate " in the happy days gone by," he had ever been May's declared champion, in all childish diiii culties. On his annual visits home, after enter ing the Naval Academy, this partiality became more and more noticeable, and now, after a long cruise, he had returned, wearing the uniform of a lieutenant, and olfering attentions decidedly lover-like in their character. But saucy little May only shook back the clustering curls of gold curled her red lips disdainfully as tbe res: of us girls voted (his precious mustache and dash ing, military air quite captivating, and declared she knew dozens of others twice ui agreeable as he ; and as for the bright buttons, pHhaw ! They were her especial aversion ; and pray, weren t naval oih cers always the most conceited of men ? The rest of as might make as much of a hero of him as w chose, but as fur her she would show Master Tom Ilildreth there was one at least who did not con sider him irresistible very far from it. And to prove herself heart whole and fancy free beyond a doubt, she went on dancing and singing, in the merriest moat distracting manner imaginable. Tom, poor fellow, must soon return to ship life, and his case was looking desperate, indeed, when I proposed that he should transfer all his attentions to my humble self, evincing only friendly politeness to May ; for I had always an opinion that this incorrigible tease cared more for him than she would have us know. With many misgivings as to the result of this new stratagem, Tom commenced his du ties as my devoted cavalier ; ever the most attentive when May was near, to whom, now, he was merely courteous aud gentlemanly, with only a smile or gay repartee for her provoking sallies, and a manner, when addressing her, quite as cool and indifferent as was here conde scending and patronizing. Bouquets with the most tender significance came to me, accampanied by notes in Tom's handwriting ; we rode together, took long walks in the moonlight and sunlight and stood at the little rustic gate by the half hour, the conversation, however, al ways relating to the little witch standing on the piazza feeding lumps of sugar to the canaries totally unaffected by the sen timental scene. For two weeks I had enjoyed (?) these especial gallantries and Tom bad at last become utterly hopeless and had declared his intention of leaving next day, as we stationed ourselves for the evening on the piazza steps. Through the open window came May's sweet voice singisg to a lively piano ac companiment, " It's better to laugh than be sighing." And as we listened to her clear, ringing notes, Tom's brow darken ed, and the innocent vines suffered tor tares from his savage attacks. " Confound it V he exclaimed, "I may as well give np first as last ! Such an idiot as I've been making of myself, but" with a softening of the voice "some way always did love her, and it's hard giving op all hopes. But I suppose I am not tbe first fellow who has had to live through a disappointment, eh, Nannie ?" with an attempt to be brave and uncon cerned, which proved a very miserable failure. "'Faint heart,' yon know, I quoted, trying to bring a smile and speak cheer fully, though I was getting terribly tired as I sat watching the honeysuckle blos soms swayed by the wind till they look- ad like little scarlet humming birds in the moonlight, and thinking, w hat with the damp air ruining my crimps and so much valuable time waited upon an nnappre- ciative escort, my case was almost as pit iful as his. Little by little, as though unconscious ly, the weary strains grew mournful ; When the swallows homeward fly," now came, sweet, wistful notes on the fragrant air, followed by a sad, low voluntary-like moaning, gobbing sea waves, its tremulous melody gradually dying off into " Home sweet home," with the sad dest, sweetest of variations. Then the music ceased altogether, a light rustle of muslin flounces, the tap of French heels on the carpet, a white hand pushed aside the curtains disclosing May herself, standing like a picture framed in the Madeira vinea trailing from a hang ing basket in the window. - set ESTABLISHED 1827. "WEDNESDAY," SEPTEMBER 9, 1891. A little scornful laugh, the old toss of the head, then : "Such a pretty scene ! Upon my word ! Now, I never thought yon would make such a charming Juliet and Romeo. "Oh, ake hitn and cut him np into little stars" esjecially tbe bright buttons and gold lace." And with a peal of the most tantaliz ing laughter, giving the canaries a start which senttheyellow feathers flying into the air, she swept past us, tossing a hand ful of blossoms over our heads, down the path leading to the river. Tom and I slowly followed, pausing, as usual, at the gate for a last chat. " Parting is such sweet sorrow," came May's mocking voice from across the road, while poor Tom bit bis lip, and in the motif tender manner bent down and tw isted a cluster of white blossoms she had thrown us in my hair, with an audi ble " sweets to the sweet," and then whispered, was there ever such a tor ment 7" " Came May !" I called, " aren't yon going to bid our old friend good-bye? You know Tom's leave of absence ends with this week." " And this is Monday ; plenty of time for fully performing that melancholy duty yet, I should say," at tbe same time crow ing slowly over to us, looking provoking ly bewitching with the breeze blowing her curls into the prettiest disorder. " Yes, but Lieut Ilildreth is obliged to leave the village to-morrow, to fulfill a business engagement, and he scarcely ex pects to find time for coming kack." " I'm sure Miss May can spare a few minutes to her old friend, when she re members that it is for two years," com menced Tom, " and I have to thank her for her sweet music and to assure her shall often think of this night," he con tinued, his tones growing more and more sad, until I actually believe he would have spoiled all, had not May broke in with just the slightest accent of bitter ness. " Please don't be absurd ! as if I didn't know that an owl might as well have screeched himself hoarse beside you, for all the difference either Nan oryou would have known ! If you really are gobg, though, I bid you good-by and bon voy age." It was May's little hands which row threatened demolition to the shrubbery, 'We've lots of fine fellows aboard our ship, May ; shan't I just whisper'a word to them what a pretty little friend I lave up here ?" Such a bright sparkle in blue eye, t ith lips curled more contemptuously thia I had ever seen, and a drawing of the very slight figure to its full height. j " No, thank you, Lieut Ilildreth. I'm not an admirer of the blue cloth. I leave all that persuasion to Nannie's .tender mercies. I despise uniforms !" I ' Why, May," I began, but sha inter rupted me with angry tears. j I don't care, I do ! In Uct J I do hate- " Nannette, child are you still out in the damp air? came mamma's voice from the piazza, catching a gljnpse of my white dress at theopportuneiBoment and with a brief " I'm coming, iamma,' I sped up the path, leaving Tom, to erad icate May's unpleasant im press It n of the S. N. as best he might, I ' Did you leave May out ?" aited good, careful mamma. "Has she i anything around her V I ' Oh, yes," I replied, inventfig what I thought might be more of a prophecy than a fiction, and with a goodnight kiss went up to my room. ' I An hour later, through the hall and up the stairs came May's foo steps, half- hesitating, half-decided. She tame across the room, stopping at the dl-saing-table to give her hair a brush ori.wo, pulled the stopper from the perfuny bottle fran tically, upeetting one, then town on the floor beside me the little laf.- seated her self, with : I say, Nan !" j " Well, dear," in a dreanf fashion, and without once raiding my lyes from the book." I " You know, Nan, you e tuch a disa greeable, ridiculous gooat" pausing to pick imaginary threads ft'in the carpet, and .meeting with no sisponse to this complimentary assertion! she continued, with a pout : "I don't care, though) it was mean to be deceitful ."' I " Deceitful I mean !" I put in, with an air of bewilderment, " .iat in the world are you talking about, lay ?" " Oh, you know ve well, you old Nan," snatching the bk from my hand " and Tom says you'sj the dearest girl that ever lived next me and sends you this" this twin i a most emphatic kiss. " But, Nannie, Jou won't mini it now, if I say I was t losing all my old love for you, and thatch I meant no one should ever know itI used to cry all by myself when you anfTora were away so long together.

JjIENEY A CO., Toledo, O. ar Sold I- Druggists at 7-c There ia young lady in West Mexico who swaLws pins for a pastime. Has anybody ver got stock on her ? Being a Swell. now do I manage to be a howling swell on a salary of f 1,200 a year? re peated young Trotter, of the treasury de partment, to a t ashington Star reporter. Why, my dear boy, it's the simplest thing in the world. I economize on the necessaries of life so as to devote my in come as far as posible to luxuries. can go without a meal with entire phil osophy, but to forego a cigar when want one would make me feel poor and occasion me corresponding distress. I pay f 2,50 a week for a comfortable hall bedroom. I am never there except for sleeping and dressing purposes, and it serves me as well as if it were a pala tial apartment Why shonld I squander money in that way ? For my meals I go to restaurants. Washington has the cheapest eating houses in the United States, and I do the thing frugally, with out starving myself in the least My an-n- 'd expenditure for food and lodging is certainly not more than $373. That leaves me a clear $S22 for cloth' in j, incidentals and amusements. In tbe last category the most expensive item is a horse. That costs me 20 a month. It is well worth the money, because a horse is not only a source of enjoyment, but an appurtenant most essential to what you call s wellness. I go to a cash estab lish nient such s are to be found in every city where, by paving tbe money : down, I can get my garments made to order for a little more than half the fasb ioiiable tailor's prices. By practicing this method I can dress like a lord, including all underclothing, collars and cuffs, and and so forth, on $200 a year. Washing is an extra. For my ne-. kties I get 1 J yards of some thick, handsome silk white or blue, and induce one of my young lady acquaintances to cut the stuff in two length-wise, and hem the cut edges, so as to make two four-ia bands, which I tie myself, of course. If you know where to go for them yen can buy the handsomest possible patent leather shoes "ties" for summer use, at $2.50 a pair. White gaiters do not cost much, and there are few additions to the dress that contribute more to a generally swell effect. The spring overcoat I have on cost only f 20, and you will not find a more stylish one in Washington. Subtract f 225 for clothing and really necessary incidentals from 1 825, and you find that I have $;00 half of my entire income to throw away upon nothing in particular, that is of importance. In summer I have one month's vacation, which I always spend with friends in one place or another, so that the outing costs me very little. Here it is taken for granted that youth ful beax are poor, and that very little is expected of them. Men a:e so scarce that they only have to be polite and pre sentable in order to find themselves ac ceptable in fashionable drawing rooms. If a man would be well dressed, how ever, it is all important that he should take care of his clothes. Let hiai take off his best things when he gets home, hang up his coat and fold up his trousers on a shelf, with the creases together. It costs verv little to dress well much less in fact, than many persons spend ia dressing badly. The thing is well worth studying. In another way also it pays to be well dreseed. A man who is so is better received everywhere. His attire is a letter of recommendation to strangers, and even his friends cannot help accord- himmore consideration on the strength cf it Our PuDlic Schools Are the main-stay of our Republic. In them are being cultivated the minds which are to be our future law-makers and leaders in every walk of life. How essential it is that these minds should be united to strong, healthy bodies. So many children suffer from impurities and poisons in the blood that it ia a wonder that they ever grow up to be men and women. Many parents cannot find words strong enough to express their gratitude to Hood's Sarsaparilla for its good effect upon their children. Scrofula, salt rheum and other diseases of the blood are effect ually and permanently cured by this ex cellent medicine, and the whole being ia given strength to resist attacks of dis ease. A Fool's Errand Truly. For fear this may reach the eyes ofthe hero ofthe incident, I will substitute for his correct address that of Calais, Me. It was not a thousand miles from there. The letter read to come at once and open a safe, as there were important docu ments wanted for immediate use. With his kit of tools, our man took the next train, and arrived on the following even ing. It proved to be an old-fashioned safe, with a large key lock. "There" said the man, "is the safe. The lock has been working harder and harder for weeks, until now I am locked out I am in a hurry to nave tt opened. Never mind the damage if you will only break into it in short order." Our expert took the key and tried it, but it refused to work. He then took a small wire and picked out half a thim bleful of dirt and lint from the key, tried it again, and a better working lock waa never seen. "How much is your bill ?" As this involved a trip to and from Calais, of about 600 miles, and time and expense in proportion, he replied $-10. Taking a roll of bills from bis pocket, he said : That is satisfactory on condi tions. Does any one in the place know your business Here. The reply was: -No one." "All right then, get out by the next train and keep mum, for I would gladly pay $100 rather than have any of my friend know that I was fool enough to go to Boston for a man to pick the dirt out of my key."

I wish you could understand that while you may know xrn end of things about the city, the girl in the country could teach you a great deaL However, there is, I am sorry to say, too often an inclina tion on your part to be a little bit conde scending to the girl who hasn't read the latest book, who doesn't know about the newest fashions, and who doesn't realize to what extent electricity ia used in the city. That girl showa you a great deal of kindness, and you should give her kind ness in return. Because yon know how to make a twelve-cent gingham so that it has a particular stylish air, is the very reason why yon should show her how, and not stand aloof and criticize the gown that she has made after the fash ion of a year ago. If you have got any books with you, share them with her ; if she wants to know anything about museums, or libraries, or mnsic in the city, tell ber of it, and tell her in a nice way. Lion t make ber feel that you are condescending to her, because, after all, that is an impossibility, and you are only showing that you area little bit of a snob when you attempt this. Have a good time together and make what you know, and what she knows, an inter change. Let her tell yon of the many things that she knows, and you will be surprised to find how quiet, country liv ing develops broad, original thinking. You will discover that what she has read she knows thoroughly ; and you will be gin to be a little bit ashamed that you read a book, throw it aside, and remem ber so little of the contents. For my own part, I like the country girl. She ia a healthy and wise com panion, and just because we are all just girls together I am going to say one little word of warning about how to behave. You are the stranger, you can talk about new things, yoa are the object of interest in the neighborhood and have a certain sort of fascination for the young men. Now my country girl has a sweetheart ; don't be so mean, for it is meanness, as to try and draw him away from here. It's only a summer's day with you ; it may make a lifelong disappointment for her. My dear girls, I want every one of you in the city and the country to respect the right of the girl w hom you meet, not to mean, not to do underhand things, not to indulge in silly, idiotic flirtations, but to be open and honorable, and to realize the goodness and truth not only of the country girl, but of her sweetheart IamIU'm ILjme JuurtHil. Couldn't Fool Her. A woman opened the front door, and, addressing a seedy looking man down on all fours who was seemingly looking for something, said: "What are you doing, here V "Madam," he said, straightening up, "please be so generoas as to pardon this apparent intrusion. My little girl and I were coming along here just now, and the child, in her gay frolicsomeness ran across your greensward, but in her glad forgetfulness dropped half a dollar that had been given ber by the handsomest and noblest of women. We were on our way to get a doll for my other little girl who ia sick in bed, and it would have done your heart good to have seen the happiness of the little would-be pur chaser, but she lost the money, and now almost broken hearted she hait gone home to tell her poor mother of the great calamity." "That was indeed too bad," remarked tbe woman. "Yes, madam, and if I could hope have you any little children?" "Yes." "Then you know what disappointment means to a child. If I only knew where I could borrow half a dollar how inex pressibly happy I should be! Madam, could you let me have a half dollar V "No, not this morning" "Well, could yoa let me have a quar ter now and give me the rest this after noon V "No ; I can do that either." "Well, madam, may I ask what yoa are prepared to do V "I am prepared to tell yoa to move on or I'll send for a policeman." "Yoa are thoroughly prepared for this, are you V "I am." "All right ; I shall bid yoa good morn ing. It is one of my business rules never to tamper with any one that is thorough ly prepared. "Just as Good." Say some dealers, who try to sell a substitute preparation when a customer calls for Hood s Sarsaparilla. Don't allow any such false statements as this to in duce yoa to buy what yoa do not want Remember, that the only reasonfor mak ing it is that a few cent more profit will be made on the substitute.

Oar friend, Jacob Staff, sends me the following, and assures us that it is a gen uine article : "The owners of fax dogs in Harrison county have all been telling about their fine dogs and their achievements; but Captain Tom Craig now comes to the front with a story of a pig that discounts all the dog yarns that the fox dog own ers have been spinning. Captain Craig, being accosted with thia scribe's usual salutation 'tell me something' said : I have a fox dog that I want to tell you about He ia of the "root-hog -or-die" species, and ia about 3 months old, and was a present to my little boy from my neighbor, Henry 8tevena. He ia a com mon looking speckled pig, and has been raised a pet with tbe puppies, He eats and sleeps with them, and when I go hunting he goes too, and will stay out with us three hours at a time. "'It would amuse yoa to see him cir cling to come in and head the dogs when they get too far ahead of him. Of course he cannot keep np with the rax when they are running fast. The other night we were oat hunting and the pig got behind bat he cat in and soon caught us, and was with as at the tree. I would have paid a good price for a picture ofthe scene at this tree. The dogs laid down, one of them drrwing a bed of leaves around him. The pig went and laid down with him, putting his head on the deg's forefeet, which were crossed.'

Why People Get Married. Though it is very common to reproach old bachelors with their celibacy, and to pity old maids as if single blessedness were a m'iFfortnne, yet many married people have seen fit to offer apologies for having entered into what some profane wag has called the "holy bands of pad lock." One man says he got married to get a housekeeper, another to get rid of bad company. Many women declare they got married for the sake of a home; few acknowledge that their motive was to get a husband. Goethe averred that he got married in order to be "respectaMe." John Wilkes said he took a wife "to please his friend." Wyncherly, who espoused his housemaid, said he did it to spite his relations. A widow who married a second hus band said she wanted somebady to con dole with her for the loss of her first Another, because she thought a wedding would "amuse the children." Another to get rid of incessant importunity from a crowd of suitors. Old maids who get married Invariably assure their friends that they thought they could be "more useful" as wives than as spinsters. Nevertheless, (jnilp gives it as his opinion that nine-tenth3of all the people who marry, whether wid ows or widowers, spinsters or bachelors, do so for the sake of getting married. Lim'hiu Tid-B't.i. Sentiment on Wheels. "My Darling." These endearing words, in bright gold en letters, stood out ia bold relief on the dashboard of ah use four-horse truck in a Broadway blockade of vehicles. They aroused tender memories. The driver looked as unsentimental as possible in his coarse raiment and with his rough manners, but he was not profane or bru tal toward his horses. Patiently he awaited the loosening of the jam while his neighbors filled the air with curses. Finally, his horses becoming restive, he climbed down from his box and sootlied them with gentle words and cares es. Then a bystander asked why he called his truck "My Darling." "Why," he said, "because it keeps green the memory of my daughter, little Nellie. She's dead now, but before she joined the an geLs she clasped her bands around my neck and said : "'Papa, I'm going to die, and I want you to promise me one thing, because it will make me so happy. Will you prom ise?" Yes." I said, 'I'll promise anything; what is it? "Then fixing her eyes upon mine she said : "Oh, par a, don't be angry, but promise me ycu'll never swear any more nor whipyour horses hard, and be kind to rnamtua.' "That's all there ia about it mister, for I promised my little jsirl I'd grant her last request, and, sir, I've kept my word." Then the blockade was lifted, the big truckman resumed his seat dashed a tear from his eye and was soon loet in the muddy tide of travel. .t York Yuri. A Seriou3 Objection. A ( lerman peasant family had made all their arrangements to emigrate to the I'nited States. The day before the fam ily was to take its departure the eldest son, Hans, who was an enormous eater, intimated that he did not care to go west "Has some village maiden beguiled thee to remain behind V asked the fath er. "Nothing of the kind." "Why, then, dost thou not wish to go with us?" "I've been talking with the school master, and " "Well, what did he say?" "He says that when it ia 12 o'clock here in Germany that " That what r "He says that when it is 12 o'clock with us here in Germany in America it is 9 in the evening." "I don't want to go to a place where I have to wait that long for my dinner," and the poor fellow completely broke down at the bare thought of it T-.-i'u About the Only Way. "I suppose yoa have studied accounts some?" said the old family acquaint ance to the young man who had come home from school. "Yes, sir." "What do you consider the best meth od of keeping books?" "Don't let your friends know yoa have any," waa the prompt response. A Dangerous Habit. "I can ti ll yon," said a prominent phy sician to a representative of TV t n', "w hat is a fruitful anurve of di-ase." "And what is it?"

It u a lialit i irme l .v many and a most dangerous one." "Why?" "Did you ever for a moment think " continued the physician, "where a pioce of coin may have been before it came into your possession, to what use it may have been put, or w here its place of lodg ment was? I have known many in stances in which coins have been used to close tbe eyea of leprous Chinatuen.

An arniv surgeon in the late Civil War had occasion to lance an a!-e:.s for a poor fellow at Camp Ioug!u.s, and as the gore was obstinate the knife had to be used twice. The operation was nvt a very painful one, but the patient declar ed that it had nearly killed, him, and when a third resort to the lancet wis proposed he protested that he coul.l nevtr go through the operation alive. The surgeon promised to make it easy for him, and tailing cp a few of the loungers ordered one of them to hold his hands clone over the patient's eyes and two others to grasp his hands firmly. "This arrangement," explained the doctor, "is said to prevent pain in s'.k It an operation. Now, lie perfectly qu:et, and when I say 'Now V prepare your self." The surgeon at once began quietly with his work, and in a short time had com pleted the operation w ithout the least trouble, the patient Iving as quiet as though in sleep. When all was done, the surgeon laid aside the knife, and said, "Now 1" Such a roar came from the lips of tlie sick man as seldom is heard from any human be ing. He struggled to free liiaiself, yell ing, "O, doctor, you're killing me Shouts of laughter soon drowned hii cries, and he was told that the operation had been all over before the signal was given.

A horse will "mei! a snake a long distance. This acute? senr-e serves him in all his feeding. He pickj over his hay and rejects any nut pleas ing to his stuell, and rejects water from a bucket in which milk has beet carried. He finds his way in the darkness by the same sense, and so acute is this that he can recognize his companion ty ti e tracks along the road or ja-turt?. For these reasons we should be nif-t caref il not to foul hay in the making or gather ing, but to keep it as clean as one wotiM keep his own food. Thus, to squirt filthy tobacco juicp over the hay is au insult to the mere civilized acia:al. Kindness Misapplied.
