"Well," aid Arlington, "for my part I have never loved but one woman, and sheisnowmybef-terhalf.". "I ttll yon." replied a fellow stagecoacb er "j,m have had an easy courtship. I was compel!! to love two ladies." "Tiro ladies !" "Yes sir, two ladies." "Bat you did not love them both alike?" ".Sow stranger, there is iust the trouble. I was thinking of this precise difficulty when I remarked that you had an easy court ship." " You puzzle me," exclaimed Ned. "Sup pose you relieve our minds by a rehersal?" "It will afford me pleasure and yoa en tertainment," rejoined the handsome and social fellow traveler. Here we leaned forward, iutent on hear ing how a man was compelled to love two ladies with the tame degree of fervor. -Jly friends," said he, if you ever visit Sew Haven, Connecticut, you will hear these expressions : 'As much alike as the Crover girL;' or this: Ton can uo more dk'inguish them than you can tell Sue from Hannah G rover.' I wy, tulles and gentle men, when a New Haveuer Is ' discuing a jwintof similitude, Le id sure to refer to tie (1 rover girls." "I fi-d tiot l-n in the E'ui City six weeks b fore I heard these comparisons. I went there intending- to enter a business fum. On fsy airival I Mopped at the Ton tine. At tiii.- hotel two teutleinen were ar- guiiiK a ; j'.nt -.flaw, and then it wa.s that I lirst heard llii- imipuage. One j:e;.k.er wai ptovitie that two expressions meant but the tame thin?, and parak-k-d the two propo sitions to t tie notorious twins." "Now there i one thing I have in com mon with women that is curiosity. I own it, and will confess that I was on neltels. Never could I be appeased until I had a view of ihvte females." "Tell Inie," said I to the book keeper, "are these Grower girls so very much alike?' ' "Are they?" said he in surprise. "Well I will tell you. Mr. Millr, if you can dis-tincui.-h them after a week's acquaintance I will pay your bill at this house for the balance of your residence." " How can 1 see them?" "I ll tell you. Observe that bright look ii.s pent, with a white hat. That is Mr. P.iuer, one of our rising lawyers. He is aa intimate friend of the sisters. Obtain au introduction to him, aud he will see you through." "Are thc-e ladies in good standing?" l'0h! among our first people." "Can Mr. l'ottcr distinguish them?" '"Never, sir, never, and lie looks with the tytoi a detective." "How long has he known them?" "Thr:e or lour year.-- to my ceruiu knowl edge. It ui ay be longer." "This deieruiiued uie. I soon establish ed my self with the lawyer by retaining him iu an important case. 1 found him more than willing to afford the introduction, as be was anxious t.i see the fix their identity never failed to uxaie iu a stranger. I will not ibifiet that first interview. Two ex quisitely beautiful Young ladies of twenty in tctcil ihe rinim. I beheid duplicates. One was the prceise copy of the other.

SaiJ 1'otter, "now take a good look, for I wi-li tr see if you can identify them." ' Mr. Potter," said I, "you will embarrass the ladies." "Not at all," said one. "We are used to tins'" siid the other. "It U the great a n.usemeut affotded by our resemblance." Here Utth spoke, bu: on honor, it sounded hie Oil Vuit:3. "Lvlies" said I. "par.ton me; I know pn are n .t horses, but allow me to look at Jour teetn ? ' "I desired th's, deeming there would be -onie k, indention or irregularity that w.ju'd tvc as an index.

"The beauty of the ladies impressed me. 1 hoy were oi my style. An acquaintance ffiwo month deoionstrated their superiori l in a!! respects. In brief, I found myself m love but with which one?" . lion tie tender ideas arose, I found .it ji-t as natural to one as the other. Yes, I solemnly swear I was in love I bad the ci nnubial article." ' I frequently took tbem out, yet never Ww whom I had. If my lady would quote -ue. I thought it clear I had Hannah, or if Hannah was mentioned, I believed I was lauing guc Indeed, it was a mere mat k'tuf faitb. There was no cvidence.for of ten one paljied herself off on me for the other. This was a chronic dodge, played &n their various admirers to suit convenience "d insure rest. As far as these gallants e concerned, it was immaterial, although he otm might be called for by name, the other would do just as well, no one being a-V-e to detect the difference." "I often implored them to contra-diatin-tpi'.sh themselves by some article of apparel f jewelry. But it was fruitless. That would spoil the fun,' they would exclaim, as though I meditated some terrible inflic tion on them. As I have said, I was in love. I felt that my happiness depended on the possession of one of these twins. But for which should I ask the parents? Honestly, it was no matter which one I had, as affec tion could make co choice." "On a lovely evening in September, one sister was from home. Now, thought I, here is a surety that I can talk a whole eve ning to one of this dual phenomenon. As fche entered the parlor, said I, 'How do you do, Miss Hannah?' 'You are wrong, sir; it is Miss Sue.' 'Areyouhumbugging?' Truly not ; I tell you sincerely. You now address Sue Grover.' I saw she was looking unusu ally tender, and taking advantage of her faltering voice and tremulous manner, I de clared my love, and she returned it with all the ardor of her true and impassioned na ture. I summoned the old folks; told our devotion ; save prospects, and made the es sential revelations. The senior Groversgave us tl cir bles.-ings, and assured us that they would see onr course of true love 'should run smooth.' " But what if that other girl should come in? What a pretty mix! How would I ever know my girl ? Though again I assure you it would make no difference. I would have proposed to Hannah just the same. My oiiV trouble was in the multitude of embar rassments incident to non-distioguishment. On this ground I had a genuine trouble. Before IJacnah returned, I invftcd Sue to take a walk on the green. When oppo site the centre of the church I spoke of the betrothal ring, and requested her to let me see the ring she wore. She took it off, and I carelessly played with it to throw her off her guard then calling her attention to a party of students, took my knife and drew the Slo blade through the inner part. It left a nice mark, and by this I hoped to identify her in future. On our return to the house I secretly posted her parents, they said that I did properly that it was time Sue should be recognized by her affian ced ! "You thitik you are smart" she said, ere I left her. "Why?" asked I. "O ! that ring ganie has been tried by a half dozen rdinirers. I susptcioned what you was at, but thought I would see how many heads would conceive of the same plan." The next day neither she nor her sister wore a ring. One week after they resumed them ; but in neither was a mark. It. was evident that I was about to be outgeneraled, and would have to depend on the discretion of my intended and the goodness of their parents. At p-irties I hid severe trials. I never knew whom I took home, would talk a flood of love to the wrong girl and receive a laugh formy enthusiasm. "Hang it," said I ; "the cream of the joke is I can't bo revenged, for I might hurt the wrong lady." The betrothal ring was given. Now, thought I, there is a terminatu.n to my dis comfiture. Well, it did terminate in just twenty-four hours. Hannah took Sue's ring and went to a jewelry store and ordered one precisely like it, bearing the same insciip tion. Moreover, she charged him to see that the engraving was counterfeited beyond recognition. It, was done. So was I. Now what could I do? Had Sue been willing 1 could have schemed forty devices. But she relished the dish, and would never co-operate. Wedding day came. I must take a young lady on the w ord of herself or parents. "Well," said I mentally, "so I get one of ths girls my object is accomplished." The ceremony was performed before an immense throng in the largest church in the city. The bridal dress fortunately enabled me to adhere to one. Congratulations being over, my bride and I journeyed to Niagara and inspected several Canadian cities and towns. "Ah !" laughed I, "Hannah will not annoy me any further. " Butalas our earthly hopes. My beloved told her the name of the New York importer, and on our return a small hand was proffered, on which was a fac sim ile of the bridal gift. Sue now went to her room, and attiring herself in one of the twin fiarbs, I was unable to recognize my own wife. Now, ladies and gentlemen, business sud denly called me to New Orleans. While there my treasure died. I was grieved, yet from the fact that Hannah lived my agony was but temporary. I returned two weeks after the funeral. My shtcr-in law wore neither betrothal or diamond rings. There was nothing to be gained by it, and they were laid aside. My friends, I am extreme ly sensitive; yet believe me, when I tell you that the presence of Hannah was a perfect and speedy restorative. It was impossible for me to weep. Was she not the same as Sue in all respects? True, when I saw the famiiy sad, I was troubled ; but only on ac count of their grief. I had none of my own. All that I loved was an exact duplicate, and that I loved before of yore. Yes, I confess that no husband ever suffered less. In eighteen months I stood in the same church, and it seemed before the same con course. As Hannah was given to me in the holy state of matiimony, it appeared that I was enacting a farce and re-marrying my own witel ' A Waterbury ''infant" named Fred, went to his mother and inquired : "Mother what is & gone sucker?" His mother said he uiusn't ask snch questions, but Freddy per sisted, and was finally sent to bed, to say his prayers by himself, instead of on his moth er's lap as usual. So Freddy prayed, "God bless papa and mama and baby, but as for me, I'se been a bad boy, and guest I'm a 'gone sucker f " THE COMMON SCHOOLS. Report of tin County Superintendent for 18S9. EDUCATIONAL PROOKBSS IS TUB COBKTT. Houses. "Whole number, 150; frame,! 3S; log. 11 ; and brick, 1 ; containing 156 schools. One new house was erected,daring the year, in each of the following districts, viz : Brad ford, Burnside, Chest, Decatur, Goshen, Jordan, Knox, Pike and Woodward. The one in Goshen is a first-class frame house, few better in the county ; location, not good ; perhaps the best and most suitable that could be had in the district. The one in Knox is a plain log building, suitable to its location,but not calling for a special descrip tion. The others are all good, substantial frame buildings; all good locations ; but the one in Burnside entirely too small for the number of pupils. They were constructed after approved designs, and reflect much credit to the several townships, and speak well for the liberal views of their directors. Furniture. The new houses have been furnished with suitable desks, table for teach er, and sufficient blackboard surface. Little or no change made in the furniture of old ones. That found in most of the buildings is in good condition, and in the others no great change will take placs until new ones are erected. Apparatus. The change in apparatus deserves notice. The directors of Brady, Knox, Ltiwreuce md Pike townships, have supplied their schools with globes, reading and writing tablets. Directors of other dis tricts, it is believed, entertain liberal views in regard to supplying their schools with similar apparatus, before the expiration of another year. They are indispensable arti cles in the hands of the active and live teach er, to make his instruction both practical and thorough. Suitable apparatus for schools is just as necessary and essential as instruments to the surgeon, or tools to the mechanic." Teachers, One hundred and fifty-six were employed in the schools cf the county. Those who were employed, geuerally. labored faith fully and earnestly in the discharge of their duties. It would be a mere farce to say all rendered entire satisfaction. The number that did not, however, is small Directors found it necessary, iu a few instances, to dismiss those whom they had employed. Their failures resulted rather from indiscre tion, want of dignity or manly bearins.than from defective scholarship. ' The time has been, and not many years since, when our owu teachers were ostracisea ana ine school houses of Clearfield county filled with teachers trom other counties ; but during the past year, more than nine-tenths of the schools were taught, and satisfactorily, too. by the sons and daughters of our own citi zens. Qualifications and Salaries. The num ber of qualified teachers and their success in the "Art of Teaching" is gradually increas ing, as near as I can estimate, compared with the previous year. I cau state this not only from my own observations, but from opinions expressed by directors and citizens iu various districts. The result is highly gratifying. The causes of the difference were: first, that many of the younger and more enterprising teachers spent their win ters in teaching and saved as much as would pay their expenses at some good school du ring the summer, and others made improve ment by private study ; second, public sen timent ; and third, the growing determina tion to employ none but competent teachers. In general, teachers deserve much credit for the progress made, yet there is room for. improvement. The average wages' remain about the same males $37, and females,$o3 per month. The salaries in a number of districts are now graded according to quali fications. This is certainly right So long as unqualified teachers receive the same as qualified ones, our schools must necessarily retrogade. "Vbat is there to induce yonng people to spend time and money in acquiring skill and ability in the art of teaching, if the possession of these things is no belter paid than the want of them ? Modes of Instruction. A manifest im provement is plainly perceptible in the methods of instruction. The teachers are beginning to teach more synthetically and analytically, and are abandoning the old blundering method of teaching arbitrary rules, without explanation or illustration, to their own satisfaction and decidedly to the increased success of their schools. As a class, our teachers are alive, and fully awake to the interests of the children under their charge. Books and Studies In all except a few districts we have attained a strict uniformity in books. The ones adopted by the board, and no others, should be strictly used. Grammar and history were introduced into a number of schools, in which they were heretofore entirely unknown as studies for the school room ; and in nearly every instance inspired the pupils, engaged in them, with new zeal and activity. Out huildings. I feel a delicacy in again calling attention to this subject. It is a fact, and indeed a lamentable one, too, that near ly all the houses are destitute of them. If these buildings are essential to the .cultiva tion of habits of propriety and delicacy, at home, among the children of the same fam ily, how can they be dispensed with at the public school house, where they are necessa rily withont the guardianship of parems,and surrounded by thirty or forty children of different families ? How parents, who send their children to school, can be so indifferent in this important matter, is a mystery. It should be held up before the father aud mother of every child iu the county, until public feeling would compel directors to act and act efficiently. Home Education. In a number of dis tricts the directors contemplate erecting a central high school.for the advantage of the more advanced students. Tbis is the true idea ot education, and will, at once, com mend itself to the public. The expenses of four children sent to a boarding school, for one year, will be more than the employment of a first-class teacher, for the same time, in one of the contemplated schools. This arrangement will give all the ebildren in the several districts equal advantages, while at the same time they will be under the control of their parents. Elementary Instruction Underrated. It is considered, by too many, that teachers without the requisite qualifications, and with little or no experience, are good enough to impart instructions in a primary school This is a sad mistake, and the evil effects of such a course ara perceptible in after lite, when it is observed that book advancement has been made without the development of the mind. Subsequent training may never correct errors thus committed in early life. The very best teachers, therefore, should be placed in charge of the "littl ones." At first they should be taught very little from the book, but by the living voice of the teacher. , EBUCATIONAL WOllk BOX 8 Br SUPEaiNTBJDBKT. This has, as heretofore, consisted in teach ing a local normal school, holding examina tions, visiting schools, conducting county institute, tc. Held 25 public and C private examinations; issued 150 provisional cer tificates ; renewed 12 from other counties ; visited 220 schools, an average of three hours each ; wrote 323 letters ; taught 3 months normal school, for the better preparation of teachers ; traveled 2470 miles : aud spent, officially, 278 days. Visitation. All the schools that were in operation, while in a district, were visited. I began my visitation immediately after the schools opened, and continued them until their close. Was accompanied, geuerally, by director? and patents who, from their zeal and anxiety to have their schools im prove, gave me words of cheer and encour agement in this arduous work. County Institute. Our county institute convened at Curwensvillo, on the 26th of October, and was by far the most successful yet held in the county, and continued in session six days. One hundred and ten teachers were present and a large number of citizens. We received valuable assistance from Professors I. S. Geist, of Marietta, and J. W. Shoemaker, of Philadelphia, who lectured cn various subjects ; also Revs. Buckley, Williams, Group, Gray and Hays, who took an active part in the discussions. Lectures, essays, and class drills were the order of business. The teachers unanimous ly expressed themselves highly pleased, and I have every reason to know much good was accomplished. The effects, in various schools, were afterwards quite visible. Summary of Work during Term. Held 70 public and 19 private examinations ;' is sued 453 certificates ; visited 53S schools, an avcraze of two hours and fifty minutes each; wrote S76 letters ; taught 12 months nor mal school ; attended two superintendents' c'jiivcotions ; conducted - two county insti tutes ; traveled 5902 miles ; and was en gaged, officially, 775 days, besides a hundred and one thing3 not mentioned. EDUCATIONAL 'WORK DONE BY OTIIEB AGENCIES Private schools are taught in many ofthe school houses, during summer, but are a dapted more particularly to the wants of be ginners. Four or five select schools are now in successful operation, but did not open until the beginning of the new year and hence further reference to them, in this re port, would be improper. We feci a want for more such school whose direct object is the preparation of teachers. A school established for ladies, in Clear field borough, by Miss Hattie Swan, has had an increased attendance, and is rapidly growing into popular favor. It has materi ally aided in preparing teachers; and if properly sustained, as it certainly will ba, with her experience, energy, and persever ance, will prove a lasting benefit, not only to the patrons, but the common school sys tem. The Susquehanna Select School, under the control of Mr. J. S. Smith, in Bell tp., has done noble work, and created an inter est never before felt in that section. Academies. We have one in Clearfield, which is iu charge of Rev. P. L. Harrison, A. M., and so far as we .have learned is doing a good work. It is not, however, we think, so liberally patronized throughout the county as an institution of this kind should be. 27te Frets. The county press is on the right side, and the editors have tendered the use of cheir columns for any article favoring the cause. They have and will, in this way, render material aid. for which they have the thanks of the teachers in the county. Farental Visits. A considerable increase, in some localities, in the number of visits to the schools by parents. Heretofore, they either have had great confidence in the di rectors and teachers or were very little in terested in the education of their children. It is observed as a general rule, that the children of those parents who visit the schools most, appear, at least, to make more true progress, are more regular in attend ance, and more obedient. It is earnestly hoped that it will become far more general, as school visiting by parents is certainly a very efficient way of doing good. District Superintendent. The Secretary in a number of districts, has been employed as District -Superintendent. In most in stances, an increase of salary for services, as secretary, was allowed, with the understand ing that they should perform the additional labor of visiting the schools monthly. The duties were well and faithfully performed by tbea officers, and their visits have had a beneficial effect upon the schools, as is evi denced by thj increasing interest which has been awakened and maintained in them. LHrectors. The directors, or a portion of them, have attended my examinations, ac companied me in my visitations, and mani fested a willingness to co operate in every thing that was calculated to advance the in terests of the schools. They are efficient, self-sacrifieiiig men, and deserve commen dation for the faithful discharge of their duties. It is to be regretted, however, that there ar a few directly opposed to the com mon school system hence to the best inter ests of the children and the people who elect tbem, ara the losers, in having poor schools, which generally is the result of ar bitrariness and a narrow-minded policy. The futhre welfare of the children and schools, as well as every other consideration, demands that none but liberal-minded men, men who know the value and necessity of an education, and who feel an interest in the cause of common schools, should be elected to fill such an important office. Efficient directors will employ competent teachers, and live teachers will make good schools. - coircLeuos. I can, with pleasure, inform the Depart ment, that my efforts to render the school system more efficient in this, county, have not been wholly in vain ; and with the proper co-operation of directors and parents, I feel assured we can make all opposition yield ; convince the doubtful ; and.wann up the energies of our citizens for still more thorough work, and ere long, Clearfield county will be foond in the front ranks in intellectual wealth. George W. Snydee, County Superintendent. Improbable StorT. Here is a Califor nia story which is almost improbable : A hired man on a farm from Nape was detailed to keep watch on the cornfield and not let the black maruders invade the prem ises, but like many other men under similar situations tried to plan a method whereby so much labor would not have to be per formed; so he hit upou the plan of soaking some corn in whiskey and placing it in the field so that the crows would eat it aud get drunk, and then have a sure thing on them, and could kill them easily. He had tried to shoot theui with a shot guu, but crows can smell powder a long way. After soak ing some corn over night, be put a bountiful supply in the field eatly neat morning, and in about two or three hours he went oat to see how things were progressing, and mark you what follows. Oue of the crows a little bigger than the resc, had gathered up and taken possession of almost all the porn and had made himself abaroutof sods of earth, and was retailing the whiskey soaked corn to the crows, charging them three grains of sprouted corn for one soaked grain. Our hired man had not the heart to kill any of the creatures they seemed so much in action like mankind. "Julus, spose dare are six chickens in a coop, and the man sell three how many are der left ?" "What time of day was it?" "What, time ob day was it? Why what the debil has dat to do with it ?" "A good dtial, honey.
