WHERE THERE'S A' WILL.
And so he is coming to night, Clara ?"
.yman Palmer , asked, standing, just at
sunset, in the porch of Mr. Townley's
fine; broad fronted residence
Clara -Townley stood beside him, and a
very fearful look stole into her deep blue
lustrous eyes as she answered the tines
tion. '
"Yes, Lyman. Papa received his
note this morning, saying that ho would
surely be here in the eight o'clock train. "
" Yom• father is as determined as
evisr, 1 suppose, about this affair of—of
the marriage?" Lymap Palmer's look
was averted from Clara while.he pro
nounced the words. Ono of his white,
slender hands played rattier nervously
with a seal ring on the finger of the
other. --
They :were delicate enough, both in
shape and, line, those hands of Lyman
Palmer's to have belonged to a woman ;
his face, also, devoid of beard or mous
tache, and glowing with the fulness of
healthful beauty, entirely lacked, (he
was only twenty-two) the clement of
manliness. It wasa face that Lyman
Palmer's enemies—had he really pos
sessed any—would have boon very likely
to call insipid and girlish. But they
could not truthfully have,,paid the same
of the 'man himself, De was every inch
what his youthful appearance_faileil 4 lto
show—a highbred, honorable, cour
ageous gentleman.
"Determined I" Clara 'Townley ex
claimed,, in answer to her lover's last re
" Why, papa is so bent upon my
becoming Mrs. ,Livermore that he
would dio of rttge,.. I think, were my
resolution know to him. " -
"And that resolution is, Clara
OEM
"TO give Mr. Livermore plainly to un
derstand that the times we live in aro
not those which tolerate the affiancing 91
two children in their-. cradles, merely
because their parents happen to be
friends. And then this creature, Rich
ard Livermore, is a -perfect flood of
homelier+, if you will pardon my in
tense. qyle of rhetoric, Lyman. The :.

papa, is just about the most frightful
thing I ever beheld. Ile has pasSed •

'appearances, he has the manners of a

pudence to speak of me, in his last,l6tter
to papa, as the 'sweet, Clara'. whom he
longed so - passionately to behold,' and
whom lie feadly behoved to be 'a pie
tore of womanly 'grace: and loveliness.'

angry 'aty our unseen rival. " •
El=l
. "We aught not to . be called rivals,
Lyman Palmer. answered, in a ioiee
wherein there 'wad muoli more despon
dency than anger—" his chances are so
fnr, faeabove mine. ".
"Nonsense, Lyman. " •
"How 'nonsense, ' Clara?!'
" Do'you beliere.in proverbs ? " •
CATCOHLE, PA
" Why do you ask?'? ' • ' .
" Because I d 0.." Clara Townley's
face WorS a look of very firm determina

rious enough to keep the resolution if
called upon to do so. •
"You mean, then, Clara, by coming

Lyman, 'questioned.
" And get poo-posthed for our pains, "
said Clara, with a" slight laugh. " No,
Lyman, I mean something else. Papa

iga weighty secret. "
*
" Is Mr. Townley at home ? "
Richard Livermore .asked the above
question of Mr. Townley'uservant, and,
receiving an affirmative. reply, waS shown
into n small sitting room on the ground
floor of the , house.
While the man is seated, awaiting the
appearance.of his host, we have time to
observe that his face and figure are
scarcely the face and figure of gentleman.
"The obscure place out west " has
evidently loft its impress upon the
general bearing of Mr. Richaill Liver
more.
Presently the" door of the sitting.room
opened and a servant—Clara Townley's
private maid, as it happened—entered
the room.
"Mr. Tohn Townley has,been unwell
for several days, sir, and as he has
lately fallen into a doze, his daughter,
Miss Clara, does not consider it advisitible
to awake him. But Miss Clara will be
very happy to see Mr. Livermore herself,
n•ovided he wishes it.''
"Of course— of course-by all
meaus—certainly,'" stammered Liver
more, to whom the immediate prospect
of beholding hisfinancee was thoroughly
overwhelming, "I shall . be most haiMy
to see Miss• Clara !Townley. Be good
enough, won't you, to tell her so ?"
Ile was gratified, not long afterward,
by the appearance of a tall young lady,
(who struck him, the more be looked
upon her, as a very unnaturally and
disagreeably tall young lady) attired in
a rather short, ill fitting dress, and wear
ing, upon a countenance fill of "broad
blown 'comeliness, red and white, "
- about the most thorough from ear-to-eur
sort of a smile that Mr. Richard Liver
more ever 'remembered having se - en.
" how d'ye do ?" said the gigantic
virgin, accompanying her - salutation
with a rather vacant hounding laugh.
" Hope you're well. Yott're Mr. Liver
more, of course? Well, 'Livermore, I
don't like your looks a bit. ITow do
you like mine?" •
• "I—l---think there must. be some
mistaVe," murmured Livermore in,
amazement: " I—l—understood that
liiss_Claraacaulky_mts.
"Well, I am Miss Clara Townley."
‘ 4 •lmossiblo
`. You're complimentary, I'm sure !
But perhaps you mean that.l disappoint
yomagreeably, Mr. Livermore. I hope
I don't. dare say you're a.
,goOd' .c
ebough: khutint fellMw, but, then. you're
decidedly not the fellow for me. Saw
that the instant I clapped my eyes on
you, Livermore, if you'll pardon so
vulgar an exmussion. I'm the sort of -a
girl that likes plucky Sporting, men
with lots of "go" in them, ;Ind-a gen
eral air of tieing "up to snuff. " Now,
you'vre not that sort of a chap, Liver
more, as I bold at a glancb. "
"No !" exclaimed poor Livermore,
who Lind grown pale-by this time, and
with something 4vhich was nob cmhar-
rassment—"no, Miss Clara, I decidedly
am not the typo of manhood which you
seem to admire. Is —is—yon father in?
I—l—mean can I see him, for a feWino
ments?",
" Our,girl told you he was asteep,.44,
she not?" was the young lady's indiffer
ent answer, searching for something, as
she spoke, in the pocket of her dress.
"Besides, Livermore, as you have come
to stay seyeral days, and ,havn brought
your portmanteau, 000, for that pur
pose, any time will do, I suppose, to hold
confab with,pa."
Mr. Livermore seemed to be regaining
his self possession. "Since I cannot see
your father, Miss Townley," stiffening
visibly in manner, "it is. better that I
should at once Bike my (lepartnre." •
" And why so, Liv. ?"
p , Could Richard Livermore
b . clieve his own cars? Was this: vixen
ish, hoidenish, overgrown female the
Clara Townley whom lie had worshipped
in dreaMs as ll . is future wife ? • had her
father been mad, to write as be had con
cerning her? 110 would rather die—the
man was already telling himself—limn
liecome .the husband of so hideously
ogreish a creature. •
" I have no reason to give for leaving
se abruptly," he now said, in' sharp, cold
tones.
Miss Townley made some odd \ 'sonufl
between a giggle.and a chnedcle. " You
don't like me.; confer you don't !•'she
cried, and . . taking the unsuspecting
,Livermore thoroughly by surprise, she
performed the; action popularly known as
a poke the ribs.
"MissTownyy ! "gasped the unhappy
gentleman, thus maltreated, "do you
intend tsulting me?"
" PA= ! not a - bit of it, Have a

""lleaVens!" exclaimed the hewn&

and stumbling backward in astonish
ment,--",:you- can't possibly mean that
yon. 'siianoke P'" •
•" Certainly I do, " was • the reply,
Mimi Townley biting the 'cud off a very
'nice looking figaro as she spoke.
Mr. Livermore once again, and as if by
a masterly effort, • regainedhis self con.
t i o. Walking deliberately toward hie
portmanteau, be - picked -up the artiole
and laying bowed , .to his bostess,:was
about, quitting the apartment when Miss
Townley exclaimed:

The following is my message to your,

But Livermore rushed from the apart
ment as though willing to remain not, an
instant longer .in tlio society of so out
and out, a 'monstrosity of womanhood.
And shortly afterward, the ball door
closed upon his retreating figure.
"Lyman. you have certainly been ma
king the most utterly revolting crdature
of yourself that it is possible to conceive
of. I have been
_listening in the dining
room, yonder, to every word you said."
And the real Clara Townley haying just
entered the room by a different door
from that by which poor Livermore bad
made his exit, surveyed her disguised
love with laughing eyes.
"There is my chief trophy," ex
claimed Lyman, waving above his head
the card which contained Livermore's
message to Clara's father. "In hoe

consent to our marriage now, Clara .; for
•he will become alarmed lest you lack the
power to attract a husband. to your side,
on reading this stinging criticism from
Livermore, and gratefully accept the
next chance that offers itself. "
Whether Mr. John Townley indulged
in any 'such train of reasoning as the
above, it would be difficult to say. But
two facts are certain,' viz : his deep
indignation on reading Livermore's
message, and his ultimate consent to
Clara '3 marriage with Lyman Palmer,
the man of.her choice. So much, for
the clover disenchantment and the veri
fication of Clara Townley's ' lavorito
maxim :
" Where there's a will there's a way.'
. Bismarcichimself publicly declared his
conviction that popular represcntltion as
exemplified in the United States, •was the
only sure and permanent foundation on
whieh the governing sys , tem of a.grelt
people could rest. It ATp4 a remarkalile
and significant &lig that Bismark, who
had so long been regarded by English
men as a living symbol of the most
dogged and uncompromising tory hnn,
should come to receive, as he did, the
public and cordial thank , : of the English

organization in England, composed of
men who regard John Bright as slow and
consertativei, for his practical and coin-
Iliac recognition of the fundamental
Principle of free govarnment. • I presume
we may take Bismark's own word for it
that he had learned is great lesson in
the art of government from the teach
ings of the AnMrican '‘var. ..The,echo of

Young ladies, 'never make your appea

quart'of water, brushed and arranged

Keep your clothing, 4specially your

let pins do duty as buttons, or strings

Examine every garment when it comes
from the wash, and, if accessary, mend
it with neatness and precision. Do not

hole, be it small or large, with a tine

cover the fracture with an interlaced
stitch, so close as to be :iAstrong as the

P:REJUNVES.
It is apart of human, nature' to limit
our preferences,, to seParato what we like
from what we dislike, and to' Meet a
barrier in our minds against all th4t is
in oppositiomto 'our tastes, habits, 'or
inclinations. • Generally speaking, the
more intense the uature t 'and the warmer
the sympathies, the stronger-will be the
antipathies. We'live as ihmere by con
trasts, .our likes involve dislikes, and our
preferences aro-balanced by
, aveysions.
It, is impossible fully to ,appreciato and
enjoy anything without experiencing a
certain distaste, for its. opposites. But
whore this distaste cannotlie supported
by reason ; whore it is indulged excess
ively atid against indifferent objects ;or
still more, where it blinds us to the
deeper virtues or advantages; that lay
hidden beneath what ourdhacy. hai' anf
demned.; `then these antipatirieseeeome
pejudices, and are unworthy of us.
Such prejudices are incident to birth
and training„and these are, perhaps,
the hardest to overcome. People who
aro in haste to rid themselves of old and
time worn, notions, if not gifted with ex
treme discretion, aro apt, in :their -now
found freedom, to acquire a contempt
for the old ways, because. they are old,
instead of striving to.retain all the good
they possess, and weeding out only what
is unreasonable. Thus, in the desire to
free ourselves from no prejudice, we of-'
ten adopt another mite as bad. The
prejudices of age, i more deeply rooted,
than those of youth, aro yet-less -injtud
-01113 in their effects. Not a .few,, youths
who have awakened to the conviction
that they - have been needlessly.restrietek
and held beund to ob.?ervations and tra
ditions which have only custom to re
eommend.thein, have in their eager de
termination to break down the - ancient
barriers, rinwittingly broken down the
defences that preserved their morality
and the safeguards that protected their
good' name. There is thus !nor° daUger
in striving at all hazards to rid ourselves
of the prejudices of birth and of educa
tion, than ill blindly holding on t 6 them.
The best correctives. are to be .found in
education, which gradtiriily unfold er
ror, and distinguishes the truO 7 4onl the
false ; in the training of the judgment
and the cultivation of thOreaSon. These
will enable us to sift the chaff from the
wheat, • and while dropping what is
worthless, to hold to the great truths
mid wise precaution that arOrgoefleit Mai ;
den under what scents to us antiquated
and erroneous, ' " '. ~ • ,
There are many other prejudices more
unreasonable than these we receive from
our ancestors. The love of one's own
country, state or city, isa worthy feeling,
but how often is it united ' With absurd
and _narrow minded conclusions about
other countries, states and cities, which
flerhap,* an einja_UntimacZalght at once.
dispel 9 So devotion to a party, sect or,
clique, is too often blended with preju
dices against the opposing - one. founded
on ' mere differences : of opianion. It
would appear that at lesttr 'natters of
religion; ignorant antiplithin lniilrejo- .
dices should be avoided, and that, the
charitY which all unite in .exirohing - ,
should bethroad e - hough to cover the corn
paratively small - ditrerenses that exist.
Not the fewest of our prejudices are di
rected against those who through ignor-,
acre of custom, infrifige upon the lesser
social laws of dress and etiquette. This
is, perhaps, one of the shallowest of all
antipathies. It is certainly best to con
form to custom, as far as practicable, in
all the Menities of life, but to confound
them with sterling virtues, and* to de
spise those who unwittingly, disregard
them, is a weakness of which we may
well feel ashamed. Closely allied to this
is a prejudice equally mean, and even mom
unfounded, which is entertained by some
persons of the present day against pur
suits requiring manual labor, and against
those engaged in them. -When a colony,
begins its new life; those persons aro
most respected who can contribute most
to as immediate needs; and it is only
those whose intellects are enervated and
weakened by an artificial civilization,
'who retain the absurd prejudice against
the worthy army of workers 'llion whom
they are depuldent ferall their comforts,
and who make up the world's best people.
The cure for unfounded prejudies is
a more intimate acquaintance with the
objects of them. Ignorance is the most
prolific causs of prejudice, and we fre:-
quotaly find that a deeper
,insight into
diameter will reveal noble qualities that,
• while coninianding respect, will' servo
also to banish prejudice. - Expansion of
mind and breadth of information will
dispel it as the sun dispelspe Vapors.. of

petually in oradleating antipathies, it is
at least a duty to be theinnaster and not

A STORY FOR THEROTS.
At a mooting of the stockholders of a
prominent railway corporation, recently
held at Pittsbny; there were present
two gentlemen, both well up in years ;
ono however considerably the senior of
the other. In talking of. the old times
gone by, the younger gentleman called.
the -attention of his friendS and told a
pleasant little sto'ry. which should be
road by livery poor, industrious, ands triv
ing lad. We use his own language: _
Nejusly half a century ago, gentle
nien,4l was put out upon the world to
inafeiny living. I way stout,
_willing
and able, considering my, tender years,
and secured a pirico in a hardware store
to do all sorts of chores required. ---"rwas
paid seventy-flvo dollars per year for my
boyish services. Ono day afterl bad
been at work three mouths or more, my
friend there, Mr. 8., who holds his ago
remarkably well, came in to the- store
and bought a largo bill of Shovels -and
tongs, sad-irons and pans, buckets,
scrapers, 'and scuttles, for he was to be
married next clay, and was supplying .
his househo in advance, 4.as was the'
groom's !tom in those clays. The
articles, are packed on the barrow ,anrl
made a load sufficiently heavy for a
young mule. But - More willing than
able, I started off proud that I could
move such a mass on the wheelbarrow.
rgot on remarkably Well till I struck
the mud road, now seventh avenue,,
leading to niy friend B. 's house. There
I toiled and tugged and tugged and
toiled, but could not budge the load up ,
the hill, the wheel going to its full half
diameter iii the mud every thpol
_would
try to propel forward. 'neatly a good
natured Irishman passing by with his
dray took my barrow, self and ell on his
vehicle, and in consideration of my
promiSe to pay him a bit, landed me at
my destination. I counted the articles
Carefully, as I delive . red them, and with
my empty barrow trudged'my way back
whistling with glee over my triumph
over difficulty. Some weeks after I
paid the Irishman the 'bit' and never
got it back from my employers.' But to
the moral: A merchant had witnessed
my struggles and how zealously I
labored to deliver that load of hardware;
lie even watched me to the house and
saw me count each piece as I landed it
in the doonvay. He cent for mo next
day, asked my name, told me he had a
teward fo{•sky industry and cheerfulness
tinder difficulty, in the shape of a five
hundred dollar clerkship in his estab
lishment. I accepted, and now;-after
nearly half a century has .passed, I
look back and say I wheeled myself into
all I own, for that reward of persever
anee-VMS my grand stepping stone to for
tune. "

When Adam was far advanced in years
and at the point of death, he sent his son
to the angel Michael, who kept the gate
of Paradise, to - fumy for the oil of mercy,
so that he could be healed: The angel
answered that it could not be until fifty
five hundred yem:s, but he gave Seth a
branch of the tree of which Adam ,had
eaten, bidding him plant it on Mount
Lebanon, and that when it bore fruit his
father should be healed. Seth .planted
the branch on his father's grave: it took
root and grew, and from it were made
Aaron's rod, and Moses' staff with which
lie struck the rock and swentened the
waters of lirarah. It also formed the
pole on which the brazen serpent Wns
lifted.up, and the ark of the testamony.
Atlast it came into the bands ofSolnmon,.
who used it in building his palltee ; but
it continually resisted' the efforts of the
builders to adjust it. Now it'.-was-too
long, and then again tpo short : „ The
builders, being angry, then threw it into
a marsh, so •that it might serve as a
bridge. The queen of Sheba would not
walk upon it, but adored it, and told
80tomon that-upon it should be suspended
the man through whose death the king
dom should bo aestroyed. Solonom Men
had it buried deep in the ground, where
afterward the poobof Bethesda vas dug,
and from the °virtues of thin true healing
properties lyere iiiiiiarted to the waters.
After it lea been buried three hundred
years it rose to the surface of the water,
and the Jew.; took it and made of it the

Tho following advertisement, from the
Pages Of a cotemporary, is r4 too good a
joke to be lost: "British science having,
been for, some time' suspected of owing
much of' its reputation to the indiffer
ence ofthe general public on philosophi
cal subjects, the truth or accuracy of
which it has had no special means of ac
quiring practical information, or has
been more or - less blinded by an oVer
vveening.confidence in the supposed skill,
of paid officials or royal Professors, sev
eral gentlemen have made it their busi
ness, at a great cost 'of time and labor,
to investigate the grounds on which the
vaiious astronomical and geographical
societies have based many of their theo
ries. The assumed- convexity or curva
ture of the earth's surface is . found to be
as gross a delusion as its supposed orbi
tal and axial motion ; that it is nothing,
but a stationary plane of hill and dale
and level, over the'Ptce of which the sun
moon and stars revolve ; that Ptolemy
and the ancient'Greek philosophers were
the only truthful and trustworthy au
thorities on matters of astronomical scin
once, and that the later theories of Gali
leo and Sir Isaac Newton are directly
contrary to Scripture, to reason, and to
the positive evidence of our senses.
Those WhO require or are disposed to
accept further particulars, are requested
to communicate witht—enclosing three
stamps for pamphlets and postage, with
lists of larger. works on this subject. ,
Literary and Philosophical Societies will
do well to disabuse their minds of that
they can no longer resist and resent the
growing demands for a thoughtful revision
of reconstruction of their antiquated and
erroneous system."
