Last Sat urday morning, little Carl Hansen, orphan child of Mrs. Hansen, deceased, left to make his future home with one of the professors of York college, whose name we did not learn, and thereby hangs the romance. Perhaps a couple of years ago, when little Carl and his mother were on a train, there ! was also on the same train the profes sor above mentioned, who took a fancy to the boy and made the re quest that in the future if he were left an orphan, he might adopt him and give him a home. Thedeparture of the boy lor York is the culmina tion of the story. Some time ago, the mother died and since that time the boy has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Thornton of this city, and arrangements were made a few days since to adopt the lad by the York ] professor, the boy going to his new home last Saturday.

John N. Fisher. Temper and Govd Looks. Thoughtfulness for others and un selfishness are great beautifiers, foi all perfection of skin and feature will not make up for an unlovely expres sion due to a hard heart. i Every girl is not possessed of an amiable temper or a pretty face, but every girl may try to improve both her temper and her face. She may not be able to alter the shape of her nose or the color of her ej’es, but il she cultivates an interest in those about her, if she tries to make the world happier for those with whom she is brought into association, she can scarcely fail before long to win a pleasing, expression of countenance that will cause physical defects to be forgotten. And, after all, there is some satisfaction to be got out of working on one’s disposition and culti vating the higher self.
