NELLIE'S LEAP-YEAR PROPOSAL.
'Really, Catharine, I don't wonder
at Mary's surprise at your behavior.
You forget that you are Frank's
widow. You are too forward.'
I hesitated a moment, really anx
ious to keep my temper; for I was
Frank's widow, and the speaker was
his mother.
'Forward!' cried Mary. 'Indeed,
you would have been shocked last
night, mother. There was Mr. Vance
urging her to sing, and acting as if
Herbert Halstead was her only
friend, when it was only as a mar
ried woman "
Yes,' interrupted Julia. 'I think,
mother, if you can't make Kate re
alize that she is married, witii a
daughter nearly six years of age, you
had better '
'Send me away,' I broke in, unable
longer to control rayseif,.'it's not the
first time that hint has been thrown
out, and if it were not for little Nel
lie, poor chil, I would go away to
earn my living at ouce. You drive
mo desperate. I declare I will mar
ry again, and get rid of all this '
and then I burst into tears.
'Marry again! How will you do
it? Oh, yes! a good joko!' cried
Julia, with a shrug at my tears.
Don't you see, Mary, it's leap year!'
and she laughed derisively.
'Who'll ask you?' sneered Mary.
'Herbert Halstead? Julia, you'd
better look out!'
'You may sneer 1 cried, checking
my tears. I was not thoroughly
angry. "But I (ell you, if no one
again because she wouldn't sing, and
I hen they said she was fordard.
What's fordard ?'
'Forward indeed 'ejaculated Her
bert, under his breath. 'If it had
been some others now. But, Nellie,
how about leap year?'
'Oh, yes! I most fordot, didn't I ?
Well, you see, mamma said but,
oh, Undo Herbert, I never showed
you my two weenie now little kit
tens! Thoy's only little sings, wiv
out eyes. Come out to the piazza
and I'll show you.'
It was no use to be impatient. The
young man knew the child too well
for that, and so they went out and
inspected the kittens. Then he tried
to coax Nellie back to the subjoct.
'Oh, I fordot!' she said. 'Only
they made mamma say'
'What did they say, darling ? I'll
give you a big doll'
'With rea' hair?'
'Yes, yes ! Real hair and eyes,
and oh, nothing. But did they say
I wanted to marry'
'They say mamma wasn't a girl,
aud she was old; and mamma said
oh, there's mamma. Mamma
didn't you ask Uncle Herbert to
marry you? He wants to know.'

would ask me to marry him, I be-
lievo I should ask Mv. Halstead, and
he'd have me!'
I had fairly taken up their own
weapoiiB of personalities which I
scorned. The moment after asham
ed of myt-elf, I ran to the room to
put on my bonnet and get out of the
house. I looked in the glass, as I
put the crape bonnet, with its wid
ow's cap. aud heavy veil on my head,
I saw a face to which black was
very becoming, though it was not a
remarkably pretty face. It looked
not more than 25, some say not moro
than 20; but I was really over 23.
Married at 18 to Frank Stevens, I
had been a petted wife for four
years, and now a widow of two.
The thought of the happiness of tho
four and the loneliness of the two, as
I looked at the face surrounded by
crape, made the tears come again ;
but I brushed them away resolutely
and went out, knowing that a brisk
walk would do me. more good than
anything else. I went out without
my darling, my inseparable com
panion, my little baby girl, Nellie.
This alone showed how troubled I
was. Truth to tell, I was too angry
to trust myself with tho little one
who might have asked to have onr
conversation explained, for she had
been In the room at the time. I
could'only hope that at five years old
a child did not understand mo.
Soon after I left, my mother-in-law
and her daughters went out for a
drive. They invited Nellie to go, i
but she, feeling, perhaps, that they
had not treated ma'ma well, refused.
Soon the front-door bell raug, and
like all children, Nellie must run to
see who was there. She managed to
open the door herself, and there
stood her prime favorite among the
gentlemen that visited the house,
Mr. Halstead, or, as she had called
him since her babyhood, uncle Her
bert. He bad been her father's
chum and dearest friend, aud loved
the child for Frank's sake.
Ladies home, Nell ?'
'I'm home,' she said, 'and I dess
mamma 'II be in soon.'
Very well. Let's go in the parlor
and have a chat.'
Nellie sat iu his lap, discussing the
merits of cocoauul cakes and sugar
almouds a little while ; but, suddenly
dropping her candies in her lap, she
asked, 'What's leap lean leap, I
fordet. Do you know what'a it ?'
'Leap? leap frog? leap year? Is
that it?'
Yes. What bit?'
Wby, it's a year when you ladies
can ask (he gentlemen to marry you.
But you see, Nellie, you're too young
or wouldn't you ask me?'
'Ob, no! I wouldn't ask you.
Mamma's going to ask you.'
The young man nearly droppod
the child, and then folded her close
to him, lest perhaps he should for
get her again. 'What do you mean,
darling?' he asked. 'Now think,
Nellie, but don't tell Uuclo Herbert
anything of your own make up
'Oh, no! really, truly, bless me,
6he's alive isn't that what you say
when you are true? Well!' the
little tot gave a long sigh aud paus
ed, Herbert not daring to interrupt
her lest she should see his anxiety,
and miniature woman that she was,
should refuse to satisfy him.
'Well,' she repeated, 'you 6ee they
does scold mamma, so they does.
I had come in, looking for the
child, pud that was the speech I
heard. I felt ready to sink with
mortification.
'Kate, darling, can't I hope you'll
let me ask ? You must know that I
hoped, when these (touching my
veil and black dress) were put aside,
that I could ak you to let me care
for you, and at once. Come, darling,'
as I hid my face in my hands.
'You've asked me to marry you, aud
1 must name the day, and I say now,
at once. Let's "ive them a rood.
thorough surprise. lean guess how
they've treated you. Come, now,
get ready this fairy, this blessed lit
tle darjing, that has brought me my
happiness, and we'll go to your own
minister.'
I tried to refuse, but I was so
weary of living with mother-in-law,
that at last we three slipped out of
the house; and dear Dr. S , who
had baptised me, married me to
Frank, and knew Herbert well,
married us.
Wo drove back and reached the
front door as the family were re
turning. Julia, who would appro
priate Herbert, stepped forward.
'Good evening, Mr. Halstead. So
you met Kale on the steps? Strange'
with a glance at me, as if I had
planned to meet him.
'Not at all, Miss Julia,' said Her
bert. 'My wifo and I just call iu to
receive your congratulations and to
leave little Midget here for a few
days.'
No tableau I have ever seeu was
half so comical as tho one those
three made. I really felt for Julia,
for I knew she cared for Herbert.
Sho gained self-possession quickly,
aud congratulated me, whispering,
as she kissed me: 'So you asked
him?'
My husband heard aud answered :
'No, Miss Julia, she did not ask
me. Through other means, manic
God, I learned the one I loved was
unhappy ; aud, as I hoped for more
than a year past to soon ask her to
be my wife, I persuaded her to
marry me at ouce. Leap-year priv
ileges are still open for those who
choose to use them.'
We are quite an old married
couple now, for three years have
passed ; but Herbert and I still
often laugh over Nellie's leap-year
proposal.

An old preacher says that "no man
is tit to preach who does not covet a
pulpit more than a throne, aud who
does not sit down to a sermon with
more enjoyment lhau a hungry man
sits down to his dinner. When you
lose your interest in your work,
your people will very soon lose their
interest in you. If the ministry is
not tho highest of enjoyments, it
will soon become the. dreariest of
drudgeries. Doth not the Master
love those who love His service.
The most valuable hints I ever re
ceived came to me from a baker at
Saratoga. I had been preaching there
during my miuistereal boyhood.
The baker met me the next day at
the railway statlou, and said: 'I
believe you are the young man who
spoke in our church yesterday.'
'Yes ; I am.' 'Well,' said he, 'I felt
sorry for you, because I thought you

New York, Feb. 9. A Dublin
letter to a morning paper gives a
terrible picture of destitution in
8omo parts of Ireland. The famine
fever prevails to an alarming extent
in some places, and harrowing de
scriptions are given of distress.
There are four parishes in Conne
mara, lying along the southern coast
of Galway Couuty? It is 9aid not
ono of the three commissioners de
puled by the Government to inquire
into the state of things in Connaught
has visited those parishes.
Similarly, two gentlemen who
traveled through the reported dis-
irutsseu uisiriuis, un uonau 01 me
Duchess of Marlborough, are said to
have left these parishes out of their
inspection. They lie far away from
all the regular routes. The work
house, the legal refuge for the desti
tute, is tweuty-six miles away. The
process-server, however, has visited
these wilds, pud these four parishes
cover an area of about forty miles
square, and there is not iu the whole
of Irelaud a more woe-begone re
gion. The following is the report about
the condition of a parish named
Carnagah: With perhaps1 a couple
of dozen of exceptions, the whole
population of 5.000 are on tho high
road to death by staiyation. Hun
ger has overtaken more than a third
already. Those who havo anything
to eat arc living oa seed potatoes.
Every day some family is eating Its
last meal of them. A number of
families squat in their cubins, around
the morsel of live turf, all day, in
order not to awaken pangs of hun
ger by active exercise.
Poor peasant mothers stumble
over miles of sharp-pointed rocka
with their bare feet to implore In
dian meal for their whining chil
dren. They also carry lairs of turf
or dripping sea-weed on their backs
for ten or fifteen miles like beasts of
burden.
Starvation is growing far aud
wide. Tho weather is cold, and the
people are half-naked. There are
no beds even for the sick. They lio
in dirty clothes witb an old tattered
rug around them. Assistance is
promised the famishing in the
spring, but it is a question how ma
ny Connmara peasauts will live to
see spring, and those who survive
will be emauiatdd aud incapacitated.
Nine-tenths of the whole coast
population of Connaught, from Gal
way to Sligo, are on the brink of
starvation.

Washington, D.C.,Feb. 9. Lieut.
Thomas Garvey, U. S. A., who has
just returned from Ireland, where
he has been on a visit to bia mother
and relatives, was interviewed last
night by a Post reporter. He de
scribes the sufferings a?id destitution
as even exceeding the published ac
counts, aud says that Irelaud is in a
very uusottled state.
The peoplo have become indiffer
ent through oppression, aud exhibit
an unconcerned, crushed feeling that
bodes no good. He predicts that
the suffering must last- at least six
months longer, until the next crops,
and says that every cent which can
be raised is needed. He also states
that when the landlords commence
a general eviction the peoplo will
resist, and serious trouble will en
sue. AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS ARE HAV
ING A GOOD EFFECT.

when he meets almost every day the
withered hand of beggary and the
white lips of famine. How a man
can withstand all that, aud hold iu
the clutch of his hand twenty or
thirty millions of dollars, is past my
comprehension. I do not see how
he can do it. I should not think he
could do it any more than ho could
keep a pile of lumber when hun
dreds aud thousands wore drowning
in tho sea. Do you know I have
known men who would trust their
wives witb their hearts and their
honor, but not with their pocket
books not with a dollar. When 1
see a man of that kind I always
think he knows which U tho most
valuable. Think of making your
wife a beggar ! Thiuk of her having
to ask you every day for a dollar or
two dollars, or to humbly beg for
fifty cents ! "What did you do u ith
that Qollar I gave you?" Think of
having a wife that is afraid of you!
What kind of children do you ex
pect to have with a beggar and a
coward for the'r mother? Oh, I tell
you, if you Lavo got but a dollar in
the world, and you bavo got to
spond it, spend it like a kiug; spend
it 83 though it wero a dry leaf, and
you the owner of unbounded forests.
That's the way to spend it. I had
rather be a beggar and spend my
last dollar like a king, than to be a
king and spend my money like a
beggar. If it's got to go, let it go.
Get the best you can for your fami

yourself. When you used to go
courting, how nice you looked!
Ab, your eye was bright, your step
was light, and you just put on the
very best you could. Do you kuow
that it is insufferable egotism in you
to suppose that a woman is going to
love you always looting as bad as
you can? Think of it! Auy wo-

Economy la the Family.
There is nothing which goes so
far toward placing young people
beyond the reach of poverty as econ
omy in the management of their
domestic affairs. It matters not
whether a man furnish little or
much for his family if there is a
continual leakage in his kitchen or
iu the parlor; it runs away he know)
not how, and that demon waste cries
"more," like the horseleech's daugh
ter, until he that provided has no
more to give. It is the husband's
duty to bring iuto the house, and it
is the duty of the wife to seo that
none goes wrongfully out of It sot
the least article, however unimport
ant in itself, for it establishes a
precedent ; nor under any pretence,
for it opens the door for ruin to
stalk in, and ho seldom leaves an
opportunity unimproved. A man
gets a, wife to look after his aflkirs,
and to assist him iu his journey
through life, to educate and prepare
his children for a proper station in
life, aud not to dissipate his prop
erly. The husband s interest should
be the wife's care, and her greatest
ambition carry her no farther than
his welfare or happiness, together
witb that of her children. This
should be her sole aim, and the
theater of her exploits is the bosom
of her family, whero she may do as
much toward making a fortune as
he can iu the counting-house or the
workshop.
It is not tho money earned that
makes a man wealthy it is what he
saves from his earuings. A good
and prudent husband makes a de
posit of the fruits of his labor witb
his best friend ; and if that friend be
not true to him, what has he to hope ?
If he dare not place contideuce iu
tho companion of his bosom, where
is ho to place it? A wife acts uot
for herself alone, but sho is tho ageut
of many she loves, and she is bound
to act for their good and not for her
own gratification. Her husband's
good is the end at which she should
aim his approbation is her reward.
Self-gratification in dress, or indul

are equally pernicious. The first

rational, and that everything is
adapted to everything else. We
must remember that science- is not
merely observation ; but is chiefly
the conclusions from the observa
tions. Science aims by the aid of
reasoning to pass behind the pheno
mena aud form some conception of
the supersensible realities upon
which appearances are based. But
it enters iuto this bidden world only
by thought; aud it implicitly as
sumes, therefore, that the laws or
thought are valid for all being.
Science, then, is built upon the no
tion that the real is ratioual and in
telligible; and it aims to grap the
ratioual system which is iu things.
If wo should assume that the real
is irrational, and unintelligible, all
our science would perish. What
would become of astronomy if we
assume that the flying planet is not
bound by the rational principles of
mathematics? The atomic theory
and ether theory are no facts of ob
servation, but ouly rational infer
ences from phenomena; but if the
real is not rational, of course these
aud all other scientific theories fall
to the ground. We conclude then,
that there is mind back of nature

The following item is pretty good
evidence that Nebraska securities
are considered "gilt edge" by capi

to eastern parties at $1.07."
Tfce track-layers on the L. & N.
V. road have probably reached the
Platte Valloy opposite Columbus by
this time. If the weather permits
the road will no doubt be completed
to Columbus by the first of March.
This road it is hoped will prove the
salvation of the town. This sudden
calling off of such vast areas of trib
utary territory, must have produced
no small shock to that town for a
timo, but looking over the local col
umns of the city papers, the reader
perusing such items as that of the
streets being full of wagons loaded
with grain and bogs, and reading
also of largo shipments of fat cattle,
must come 'to the conclusion that
there is yet there in the valley a live
town. The following extract from
the Journal states the situation, and
prescribes the future policy of Co
lumbus, which if carried out will ere
long make the place what its found
ers proposed it should be, a great
center of trade, aud the Capitol of
the State.

that we make commercial stock of

We notice that there is a general
disposition on the part of newspaper
men to break loose from the long
reigning subserviency to the dicta

which the Telegraph heartily sym
pathizes. A politician has no use
for a newspaper except to subserve
his own personal ends. Sidney Telegraph.
