"How on earth, Simpson,' said I
the other day to a rural friend of
mine whom I was visiting "how oh
earth did n backward, diffident fel
low like you ever manage to say,
'Will you?' to a witty, saucy, self
poised woman like your wife?"
I really was curious 'to know.
Simpson was such a slow, sedate
person, and his wile was such a little
firefly, that there always seemed to
me something funnily incongruous
in their union.
Simpson made his usual deliberate
pause before answering. Well, I
reckon" my friend is a Hoosier
I reckon it was queer I ever asked
her, and (he way it happened was
queerer still."
Wc had carried our chairs out
into the front. yard, in order to smoke
iu greater comfort ; and I now lilted
mine back against a tree, knowing
that the story that was brewing in
my friend's mind would not he over
in a hurry. I condensed it for the
benefit of those readers who may
not have so much leisure and pa
tience as I had :
"You see,'"he beganslowly clear
ing his throat and crossing his legs,
"I was always rather soft-like about
Susie, from the time I used to sit by
her in school and work her sums.
She hadn't a. particle of head for
figures, and I had, so we suited
pretty well as long as school lasted ;
and Susie, though she laughed at me
more than ony of the girls, liked me
little, too; for it isn't in human
nature not to like the person that
k w oiks yum cuius, j. kiiuw uerause
njmt was about all the way I had of
making friends, when I was a boy,
and I made a good many. IJut
Mvhen our school davf? were over
most of llicm forgot, but Susie never
did. She was t lie prettiest and most
popular girl in the country, and had
no end of beaux, but filic always had
God bless her! as bright a smile for
slow Ben as any of them. I knew I
wasn't as brisk and lively as the best
of them, and when I saw that she
didn't make any difference, it went
right through and through me, and
I'd have died for her any minute;
but I couldn't tell her so. Seemed
like I was slower and dumber with
her than anybody else.
"For this reason I didn't often call
on her or ask her company to parties
and the like; but when I did she
was always so kind and pleasant
like that I was happy for a month
afterwards.
"Well, there was a party one night
at 'Squire Coon's; and, as it wasn't
far, and Susie would only have to
be bored with me going and coming
I asked her to go with me, and she
said 'Certainly,' and smiled as if it
was the greatest treat in the world.
"As the 'Squire's was only half a
mile from Susie's home, and there
was a nice, dry path through the
woods, wc walked. It was about
the middle of October, and the path
we took was heaped with dry leaves
that made n pleasant rustle under
our feet. A watery moon and a
slim turnout of stars gave just light
enough to make the tree trunks on
either side of the path look like any
thing e!e hut what they were.
"The only remark I remember to
have made on the way to 'Squire's
was that it was going (o rain before
morning, and that I hoped it would.
I little thought how much reason I
had to hope.
"I don't recollect much about the
party, except that I sat most of the
time in a particular corner, and
watched Susie as much as I dared.
"When the parly had broken up,
and wc were starting home, I notic
ed that the sky was thickly clouded
and the night daik. Tho 'Squire,
who was sitting on the front porch
smoking a late pipe, called after us :
'Better stay all night, Benjy, it's
goin' to rain.' But we thought not.
When we got into the woods, how
ever, wo began to find out that it
was dark and no mistake. The far
ther wc went, the deeper became the
darkness. I knew the path we had
to follow, every crook and curve in
it. But the carpet of dead leaves
bothered .me. I had to stop two or
three times, and grope about on
either side, to make sure that I was
in the right track; and the last time
I found I was not in it, and, what
was worse, couldn't find it.
"I kept up tho search as long as
possible, dreading to tell Susie of
the stupid blunder I had committed.
But the truth had to come out at
last; and, as if to make matters
really serious, it began to rain a
dull, pattering fall, that would prob
ably last till daylight, and Susie ex
posed to it. She tried to make a
joke of it at first; but, as the rain
came moro and more Meadily, she
became frightened and nervous. I
found her the best shelter I could at
the roots of a great tree, but the rain
reached her even there. She had
nothing round her but a light shawl
for the evening had been unusually
warm for the season and I knew
she would soon be thoroughly chill
ed; so, being very tough myself, and
used to all sorts of exposure, I just
took off my coat and begged her to
wrap it round her shoulders, but she
would hear to nothing of the sort,
and bade me quite brusquely to put
on my coat. But the rain increased,
and the night grew damper and
colder. I resolved to take matters
into my own hands. Without say
ing a word, I just wrapped the coat
around her shoulders myself, and,
for fear she wouldn't take it, I said,
by way of apology, you see, 'I'd
give my life for you any minute,
Susie, and it don't stand to reason I
shouldn't give you my coat.'
"She kept as mute ne a mouse
while I was fixing tho coat; hut,
when I was done, she took my hand
jn ootn ot hers, and, says she, 'Do
F.... ii.:..i. ,. .. ......i. r . r.. v
MMI 1IIMIK Ml )l'lV IIIUUII III llll, 1JCII I
and, says I, -More than I can tell, or
foil can think, I reckon.'
"And, says she, 'Why did you
never tell me so before?'
"'Well,' says I, 'you know I'm
rather slow of speech ; and, besides,
I reckoned you wouldn't care to
hear the like from me.'
"She didn't say nothing after that
for a good long spell, till I began to
be afraid she was offended ; then
says she, 'You may sit down here
beside me, if you like, Ben.'
"I did so, and then, after another
good long spell, says she, stroking
my hand with one of hers, 'You're
the best and kindest man in the
world, Ben; and I like you better
than any of them."
"My shirt-sleeves were by this
time wet enough to wring, and the
chill guMs that every now and then
swept down from the tree-tops were
enough to make a Newfoundland
dog shiver; but I never felt warmer
or more comfortable in my life than
when Susie said that. I never felt
my slowness of speech more iu mi-
life, though it seemed as if I couldn't
think of any word that meant
enough. So I had to sit and listen
to Susie without being able to say a
word myself, but she didn't appear
to mind it a bit.
"Well, the first thing I knew it hid
stopped raining, and the moon was
peeping down through a drift in the
clouds. I found tho path in no
time; and Susie made me put on my
coat again.
"When we got home to Susie's her
father was just turning out to look
for us, and met us at the yard gate.
"'Soaked but smiling,' says he.
'What on earth has happened to
make you look so pleasant, when
you aie both as wet as a couple of
drowned kittens ?' He had a lantern
you see, and flashed it right in our
faces. We didn't tell him anything
then, but hjc found out about a month
after when I came to ask for Susie."
Just at. this moment we were in
terrupted by a pretty, scolding voice
from the house, exclaiming, "Why,
Ben, you will catch your death ol
cold, sitting out there without your
coat when the dew is falling."
Simpson had been over an hour
telling his story. Our pipes had
gone out and the sun had gone down
but there was still light enough to
mark the placid expression of de
light that came over his face at the
mere sound of his wife's voice; and
I thought I saw plainer than ever
before how it had happened that the
lively little Susie had married my
slow friend, and had dono wisely
in so doing.
A Cheerful Fiicc.
Carry the radiance of your soul in
your face. Let the world have the
benefit of it. Let your cheerfulness
be felt for good wherever you are,
and let your smiles be scattered like
sunbeams "on the just as well as on
the unjust." Such a disposition will
yield a rich reward, for the happy
effects will come home to you and
brighten your thoughtful moments.
Cheerfulness makes the mind clear,
gives tone to the thought, adds grace
to the countenance. Joubert says,
"When you give, give with joy,
smiling." Smiles are little things
and cheap articles to be fraught with
so many blessings, both to the giver
and receiver; pleasant little ripples
to watch as wo stand on the shore of
every day life. They are the higher
and butter responses of nature to the
emotion of the eouI. Let the chil
dren have the benefit of them those
little ones who need the sunshine of
the heart to educate them and would
find sympathy for their buoyant na
ture in the cheerful loving faces of
those who need them. Let them not
be kept from the middle-aged, who
need the encouragement they bring.
Give your smiles to the aged. They
come to them like the quiet rain of
the summer, making fresh and verd
ant the long weary path.of life. They
look for them from you, who are
rejoicing in the fulness of your life.

Tho Great Art Publishing House
I of Georue Stinson & Co., of Port-
laud, Maine, moves steadily on the
even tenor of its way, apparently
not fcelinir the dull times. During
the year 1S7S they sold over Four
Million pictures of nil description".
They publish every description of
fine pictures, and the prices range
from ten cents upwards to twenty
dollars per copy. Their correspond
ence for this large business is im
mense; they receive, on an average,
over one thousand letters per day.
Messrs. Stiusou & Co. publish only
the better class of pictures, and it is
well known that anything coming
from this reliable house is of stand
ard merit. Wo have just received
copies of four very line steel en
gravings, which they havo just
brought out. The plate? were en
graved iu Lon'dox, at an expense of
four thousand pounds sterling, or
twenty thousand dollars, to which
great sum must be added the cus
toms duty of twenty-five per cent,
on account of their being imported
into the United State. These en
gravings arc after paintings by great
modern masters of art, and tbc ar
tists who engrayed the plates stand
in the front rank of the worlds re
nowned engravers.
It is believed and generally con
ceded, that these engravings make
up the finest and most elegant set of
works of high art ever brought out
by American publishers. This en
terprising firm, though many years
in the Art Publishing business, havei
not grown old and unprogressive,
but on the other hand make im
provement and progress year by
year, giving the people better and
better pictures for the same or less
money. They may, we feci sure,
fairly claim to stand at the head of
the Art Publishing business in
America. Wc can only understand
the colossal proportions, their trade
has assumed by remembering that
this is a great and mighty nation of
nearly fifty million people. We can
not better illustrate the magnitude
of their business than to state tho
amount of money paid by them for
postage stamps during tho years
187G, 1877, and 1873. We have the
figures direct from the firm, or we
should thiiiv there was some error.
In 1S7C, they paid for postage 3:5,
101.92. In 1S77, they paid for post
age $37,203.70. In 187S the amount
of money that they paid for postage
stamps was simply enormous a lit
tle over $50,000.00. Stinson & Co.
stand among the largest and moat
judicious advertisers in the country,
and a short time since paid in a sin
gle day $24,000.00 iu cash on a con
tract for advertising. They employ
agents everywhere throughout the
United States and Dominion of Can
ada for the sale of thoir pictures by
subscription ; we call attention to
their advertisement for agents in
another column. Those who need
pleasant, profitable work, should
correspond with them.
Besides paying the large amounts
of postage stated above, their express
and freight bills arc enormous only
small orders are sent by mail, the
larger being sent by express and
freight. American homes should be
made beautiful by refined works of
art, and prices for really meritorious
pictures are now so low that '.here
can be no excuse for the walls to
remain gloomy, unadorned and
cheerless. American homes should
he made beautiful, and the tendency
of this will be to make more refined
and beautiful the lives of all dwell
ers therein.
A correspondent of the Methodist
advises the use of water instead of
wine at communion, and says : "The
emphasis of the command which in
stitutes the Lord's Supper is uot on
the pronoun 'this,' indicating the
substances used, but on the verbs
'eat' and 'drink,' and on the spiritual
purpose designated by the phrase 'in
remembrance ol me.' The symbolic
character of the Sacrament no more
requires a particular kind of bread.
The bread used in our time is not
usually, at least, perhaps never, the
same in kind as that-used by our
Savior. He instituted the supper
with the common drink of the coun
try and time; whether it was a fer
mented wine does not concern our
argument. Our common drink is
water and not wine; and it is prac
tically difficult for most churches to
procure wine that is not adulterated.
We should use water at the Lord's
Supper with a good conscience."
Douglas Jerrold had a favorite
dog that followed him everywhere
One day, iu the country, a lady
who was passing turned round, and
said audibly, "What an ugly little,
brute"! Thereupon Jerrold address
ing the lady, replied "Oh madam!
I wonder what he thinks about us
at this moment?"

Let the girls romp as well as the
boys. It will do them good, strength
en the muscles, expand the chest,
make room for tho lungs and tho
heart; give vitality to tho blood;
grace to tho carriago; freedom of
motion to the limbs, and is worth all
the dancing schools in .he universe.
Hot -house plants always droop
when exposed. Ilemember that.
Don't be afraid that because your
daughter can ride, swim and skate,
ehe will not be a Imlyr There
was never a more mistaken notion.
Stamina never ran counter to gen
tility, but lifted and sustained it.
Tending flowers 'docs not in the
least militate against fingering the
piano, and mirthful laughter gives
streifgth, volume and flexibility to
the voice. The red roses of health
are better upon the cheeks than sal
low lillies. The future of girlhood
is something higher and nobler than
white hands and a smattering of
French and music. They arc to be
the mothers of the nation, and upon
them rests its history for weal or
woe.
Let the girls romp, and out of
doors. Dress them warm that they
may do so. Don't be afraid of see
ing them in thick shoes. Dou't let
them wear tightly - laced corsets.
The ideal Ycnus, the chosen models
of the most renowned sculptors is
no wap-r,'ai3tcd beauty. Cleopatra
loved the sun, and her peerless love
liness ripened beneath ita warm
kisses.
Health requires freedom of action
and out of door exercise as murh
for girh as boys. Their limb3 sho'd
never be dwarfed by keeping still.
Better to turn them loose like colts
than confine them to play the lady.
The time will come whem they will
need all their strength; when un
trammeled growth vf ill be a bless
ing; when they will be bowed with
care. Give them all possible free
dom wiiile young. Let them romp.
Maiden modesty will keep them
within bounds. Ricing with their
companions, roaming the woo'ds in
search for flowers, was what tho
Great Maker intended. Don't try
to make dainty plants of them. Sun
and wind are better cosmetics for
the complexion than any you can
buy in the shops, and a man with
brains had far sooner kiss warm,
rich, natural flesh and blood than a
sickly skin and paint and powder.
Let the girls romp! Give them
an equal chance for life and health
and happiness, with the boys. Sup
pose their "lilly hands" should be
soiled, there is plenty of soap and
water; suppose their dresses should
be torn, there i plenty of thread
and needles. There is much wisdom
in the old saying, that " it is bcttcV
to pay the butcher than the doctor."
Think of their future, when called
upon to take up the burdens of life;
when taxed to tho utmost by ma
ternity; when families require all of
strength and nerve, and do uot com
pel them to endure the confinement
now that will be a curse in the
hereafter.
Let the cirls romp. There is no
more beautiful sight iu the world
than a bevy of biight-eyed, rosy
checked girls, with flying feet and
flying hair, indulging in innocent
mirth, happy, whole-hearted, sunny
faced, lightly laughing, storing up
health against the days when trials
and tears shall come. It is your
duty o give your daughters feedom
to let them revel iu tho pure air
of heaven; to give full play to the
intricate machinery of the human
frame; and the foolish mothers who
shrink from a little " tan," from vig
orous expansions of waist, and all the
other blessings given by Providence,
arc only wise iu their own conceit
and nntail untold misery and early
death upon those they pretend to
love.
Let the girls romp.
Tho Ilev. Mr. Moody speaks out
in meeting in this manneron "church
fairs." "And there are yonr grab
bags your grab-bags! I tell you
there is too much of this. Your
fairs and your bazars won't do, and
your voting, your casting of ballots
for the most popular man, or the
most popular woman, just helping
along their vanity. I tell you it
grieves the spirit; it offends God.
They've got so far now that for
twenty-five cents youug men can
come in and kiss the handsomest
woman in the room. Think of this !
Look at the church lotteries going
on in New York. Before God, I
would rather preach in any barn, or
the most miserable hovel on earth,
than within the walls of a church
paid for in such a way. What is the
use of going to a gambling den when
you can havo a game of grab with a
lady for a partner?"
He who has nothing to do in this
world but to amuse himself, has got
the hardest iob on hand.

That salt wilt curdle new milk;

That fresh meat after beginning

That clear boiling water will re

That ripo tomatoes will remove
ink and other stains from white

That a teaspooutul of turpentine
boiled with your white clothes will

That boiled starch is much im

sperm, or a little salt, or both, or a
little gum arabic dissolved.
That beeswax and salt will make

wax iu a rag and keep it for that
purpose. "When the irons arc hot,

That blue ointment-and kerosene

That kerosene will make tin tea

George Francis Train recently
gave tho following advice to some
college goung men :
"You want some gppd advice. It
has ruined many a man, but may not
harm you, because you will not fol
Tow it. Itisc early; be abstemious;
Be frugal ; attend to your own busi
ness, and never trust it to another;
be not afraid to work, and diligently
too, with your own hands: treat
every one with civility and respect;
good manners insure success: ac
complish what you undertake; de
cide, then persevere; diligence anil
industry overcome all difficulties;
never be mean rather give than
take the odd shilling; never post
pone till the morrow what can be
done to-day ; never anticipate wealth
from.any source but labor.: honesty
is not only the best policy, but tho
only policy; commence at the first
round and kerp climbing; make
yonr word a1? good as your bond ;
seek knowledge to plan, enterprise
to LSCUlf. honesty to govern all ;
never trade beyond your stock ; nev
er give too large credit; timt ?3
money,: make few promises; keep
your eecreU; live within your in
come; spbricty above all things;
luck i a word that docs not apply to
a successful man ; not too much can
tion slow but sure is the thing; the
highest monument? arc built piece
by piece; step by step wc mount the
pyramids; be bold be resolute
when the clouds gather; difficulties
are surmounted by opposition ; self
confidence, self-reliance is your cap
ital ; your conscience the best moni
tor; never be over-sanguine; but
dQo!L.andejratc your own abilities i
don't be discouraged ; ninety-nino
may fay no, the hundredth, yes;
tako ofT your coat, roll up yonr
sleeves, don't be afraid of manual
labor; America is large enough for
all; strikeout for the west ; the sea
shore cities are too crowded ; the
best letter of introduction i3 jour
owncnLrgrg;: lean on yourself when
you walk; keep good company; tho
Spaniards say, if you lie down with
dogs you will get up with fiea3;
keep out of politics, unless- you aro
sure to win ; you arc never sure to
win, so keep out."
