THE TWIN SISTERS.
"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

quisitely beautiful Young ladies of twenty in

was the prceise copy of the other. They

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

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

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.

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.
