SL.OW, B5JT S!lt3 Iti:."How on earth, Simpson,' said I

the other day to a rural friend ofmine whom I was visiting "how ohearth did n backward, diffident fel-

low like you ever manage to'Will you?' to a witty, saucy, self-poise- d

woman like your wife?"I really was curious 'to know.

Simpson was such a slow, sedateperson, and his wile was such a littlefirefly, that there always seemed tome something funnily incongruousin their union.

Simpson made his usual deliberatepause before answering. Well, I

reckon" my friend is a HoosierI reckon it was queer I ever asked

her, and (he way it happened wasqueerer still."

Wc had carried our chairs outinto the front. yard, in order to smokeiu greater comfort ; and I now liltedmine back against a tree, knowingthat the story that was brewing inmy friend's mind would not he overin a hurry. I condensed it for thebenefit of those readers who maynot 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-lik- e aboutSusie, from the time I used to sit byher in school and work her sums.She hadn't a. particle of head forfigures, and I had, so we suitedpretty well as long as school lasted ;

and Susie, though she laughed at memore than ony of the girls, liked me

little, too; for it isn't in humannature not to like the person that

k w oiks yum cuius, j. kiiuw uerausenjmt 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? overmost of llicm forgot, but Susie neverdid. She was t lie prettiest and mostpopular girl in the country, and hadno end of beaux, but filic always hadGod bless her! as bright a smile forslow Ben as any of them. I knew I

wasn't as brisk and lively as the bestof them, and when I saw that shedidn't make any difference, it wentright through and through me, andI'd have died for her any minute;but I couldn't tell her so. Seemedlike I was slower and dumber withher than anybody else.

"For this reason I didn't often callon her or ask her company to partiesand the like; but when I did shewas always so kind and pleasantlike that I was happy for a monthafterwards.

"Well, there was a party one nightat 'Squire Coon's; and, as it wasn'tfar, and Susie would only have tobe bored with me going and comingI asked her to go with me, and shesaid 'Certainly,' and smiled as if itwas the greatest treat in the world.

"As the 'Squire's was only half amile from Susie's home, and therewas a nice, dry path through thewoods, wc walked. It was aboutthe middle of October, and the pathwe took was heaped with dry leavesthat made n pleasant rustle underour feet. A watery moon and aslim turnout of stars gave just lightenough to make the tree trunks oneither 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'swas that was going (o rain beforemorning, and that I hoped it would.I little thought how much reason Ihad to hope.

"I don't recollect much about theparty, except that I sat most of thetime in a particular corner, andwatched 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 cloudedand the night daik. Tho 'Squire,who was sitting on the front porchsmoking a late pipe, called after us :

'Better stay all night, Benjy, it'sgoin' to rain.' But we thought not.When we got into the woods, how-

ever, wo began to find out that itwas dark and no mistake. The far-

ther wc went, the deeper became thedarkness. I knew the path we hadto follow, every crook and curve in

it. But the carpet of dead leavesbothered .me. I had to stop two orthree times, and grope about on

either side, to make sure that I wasin the right track; and the last timeI found I was not in it, and, whatwas worse, couldn't find it.

"I kept up tho search as long as

possible, dreading to tell Susie ofthe stupid blunder I had committed.But the truth had to come out atlast; and, as if to make mattersreally serious, it began to rain adull, 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 raincame moro and more Meadily, shebecame frightened and nervous. Ifound her the best shelter I could atthe roots of a great tree, but the rainreached her even there. She hadnothing round her but a light shawl

for the evening had been unusuallywarm for the season and I knewshe would soon be thoroughly chill-

ed; so, being very tough myself, andused to all sorts of exposure, I justtook off my coat and begged her towrap it round her shoulders, but shewould hear to nothing of the sort,and bade me quite brusquely to puton my coat. But the rain increased,and the night grew damper andcolder. I resolved to take mattersinto my own hands. Without say-

ing a word, I just wrapped the coataround her shoulders myself, and,for fear she wouldn't take it, I said,by way of apology, you see, 'I'dgive my life for you any minute,Susie, and it don't stand to reason Ishouldn't give you my coat.'

"She kept as mute ne a mousewhile I was fixing tho coat; hut,when I was done, she took my handjn ootn ot hers, and, says she, 'Do

F.... ii.:..i. ,. .. ......i. r . r.. vMMI 1IIMIK Ml )l'lV IIIUUII III llll, 1JCII I

and, says I, More than I can tell, orfoil can think, I reckon.'

"And, says she, 'Why did younever tell me so before?'

"'Well,' says I, 'you know I'mrather slow of speech ; and, besides,I reckoned you wouldn't care tohear the like from me.'

"She didn't say nothing after thatfor a good long spell, till I began tobe afraid she was offended ; thensays she, 'You may sit down herebeside me, if you like, Ben.'

"I did so, and then, after anothergood long spell, says she, strokingmy hand with one of hers, 'You'rethe best and kindest man in theworld, Ben; and I like you betterthan any of them."

"My shirt-sleeve- s were by thistime wet enough to wring, and thechill guMs that every now and thenswept down from the tree-top- s wereenough to make a Newfoundlanddog shiver; but I never felt warmeror more comfortable in my life thanwhen Susie said that. I never feltmy slowness of speech more iu mi--

life, though it seemed as if I couldn'tthink of any word that meantenough. So I had to sit and listento Susie without being able to say aword myself, but she didn't appearto mind a bit.

"Well, the first thing I knew it hidstopped raining, and the moon waspeeping down through a drift in theclouds. I found tho path in notime; and Susie made me put on mycoat again.

"When we got home to Susie's herfather was just turning out to lookfor us, and met us at the yard gate.

"'Soaked but smiling,' says he.'What on earth has happened tomake you look so pleasant, whenyou aie both as wet as a couple ofdrowned kittens ?' He had a lanternyou see, and flashed it right in ourfaces. We didn't tell him anythingthen, but hjc found out about a monthafter when I came to ask for Susie."

Just at. this moment we were in-

terrupted by a pretty, scolding voicefrom the house, exclaiming, "Why,Ben, you will catch your death olcold, sitting out there without yourcoat when the dew is falling."

Simpson had been over an hourtelling his story. Our pipes hadgone out and the sun had gone downbut there was still light enough tomark the placid expression of de-

light that came over his face at themere sound of his wife's voice; andI thought I saw plainer than everbefore how it had happened that thelively little Susie had married myslow friend, and had dono wiselyin so doing.

A Cheerful Fiicc.

Carry the radiance of your soul inyour face. Let the world have thebenefit of it. Let your cheerfulnessbe felt for good wherever you are,and let your smiles be scattered likesunbeams "on the just as well as onthe unjust." Such a disposition willyield a rich reward, for the happyeffects will come home to you andbrighten your thoughtful moments.Cheerfulness makes the mind clear,gives tone to the thought, adds graceto the countenance. Joubert says,"When you give, give with joy,smiling." Smiles are little thingsand cheap articles to be fraught withso many blessings, both to the giverand receiver; pleasant little ripplesto watch as wo stand on the shore ofevery day life. They are the higherand butter responses of nature to theemotion of the eouI. Let the chil-

dren have the benefit of them thoselittle ones who need the sunshine ofthe heart to educate them and wouldfind sympathy for their buoyant na-

ture in the cheerful loving faces ofthose who need them. Let them notbe kept from the middle-age- d, whoneed the encouragement they bring.Give your smiles to the aged. Theycome to them like the quiet rain ofthe summer, making fresh and verd-ant the long weary path.of life. Theylook for them from you, who arerejoicing in the fulness of your life.

Rcnutifnl IMetnrcs for All.

Tho Great Art Publishing HouseI of Georue Stinson & Co., of Port- -

laud, Maine, moves steadily on theeven tenor of its way, apparentlynot fcelinir the dull times. Duringthe year 1S7S they sold FourMillion pictures of nil description".They publish every description offine pictures, and the prices rangefrom ten cents upwards to twentydollars 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 onlythe better class of pictures, and it iswell known that anything comingfrom this reliable house is of stand-

ard merit. Wo have just receivedcopies of four very line steel en-

gravings, which they havo justbrought out. The plate? were en-

graved iu Lon'dox, at an expense offour thousand pounds sterling, ortwenty thousand dollars, to whichgreat sum must be added the cus-

toms duty of twenty-fiv- e per cent,on account of their being importedinto the United State. These en-

gravings arc after paintings by greatmodern masters of art, and tbc ar-

tists who engrayed the plates standin the front rank of the worlds ed

engravers.It is believed and generally con-

ceded, that these engravings makeup the finest and most elegant set ofworks of high art ever brought outby American publishers. This en-

terprising firm, though many yearsin the Art Publishing business, haveinot grown old and unprogressive,but on the other hand make im-

provement and progress year byyear, giving the people better andbetter pictures for the or lessmoney. They may, we feci sure,fairly claim to stand at the head ofthe Art Publishing business inAmerica. Wc can only understandthe colossal proportions, their tradehas assumed by remembering thatthis is a great and mighty nation ofnearly fifty million people. We can-not better illustrate the magnitudeof their business than to state thoamount of money paid by them forpostage stamps during tho years187G, 1877, and 1873. We have thefigures direct from the firm, or weshould thiiiv there was some error.In 1S7C, they paid for postage 3:5,-101.-

In 1S77, they paid for post-age $37,203.70. In 187S the amountof money that they paid for postagestamps was simply enormous a lit-

tle over $50,000.00. Stinson & Co.stand among the largest and moatjudicious 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 employagents everywhere throughout theUnited States and Dominion of Can-

ada for the sale of thoir pictures bysubscription ; we call attention totheir advertisement for agents inanother column. Those who needpleasant, profitable work, shouldcorrespond with them.

Besides paying the large amountsof postage stated above, their expressand freight bills arc enormous onlysmall orders are sent by mail, thelarger being sent by express andfreight. American homes should bemade beautiful by refined works ofart, and prices for really meritoriouspictures are now so low that '.herecan be no excuse for the walls toremain gloomy, unadorned andcheerless. American homes shouldhe made beautiful, and the tendencyof this will be to make more refinedand beautiful the lives of all dwell-ers therein.

A correspondent of the Methodistadvises the use of water instead ofwine at communion, and says : "Theemphasis of the command which in-

stitutes the Lord's Supper is uot onthe pronoun 'this,' indicating thesubstances used, but on the verbs'eat' and 'drink,' and on the spiritualpurpose designated by the phrase 'inremembrance ol me.' The symboliccharacter of the Sacrament no morerequires a particular kind of bread.The bread used in our time is notusually, at least, perhaps never, thesame in kind as that-use- d by ourSavior. He instituted the supperwith the common drink of the coun-

try and time; whether it was a fer-

mented wine does not concern ourargument. Our common drink iswater and not wine; and it is prac-tically difficult for most churches toprocure wine that is not adulterated.We should use water at the Lord'sSupper with a good conscience."

Douglas Jerrold had a favoritedog that followed him everywhereOne day, iu the country, a ladywho was passing turned round, andsaid audibly, "What an ugly little,brute"! Thereupon Jerrold address-ing the lady, replied "Oh madam!I wonder what he thinks about usat this moment?"

ing; when they will be bowed withcare. Give them all possible free-

dom wiiile young. Let them romp.Maiden modesty will keep themwithin bounds. Ricing with theircompanions, roaming the woo'ds insearch for flowers, was what thoGreat Maker intended. Don't tryto make dainty plants of them. Sunand wind are better cosmetics forthe complexion than any you canbuy in the shops, and a man withbrains had far sooner kiss warm,rich, natural flesh and blood than asickly skin and paint and powder.

Let the girls romp! Give theman equal chance for life and healthand happiness, with the boys. Suppose their "lilly hands" should besoiled, there is plenty of soap andwater; suppose their dresses shouldbe torn, there i plenty of threadand needles. There is much wisdomin the old saying, that " it is bcttcVto pay the butcher than the doctor."Think of their future, when calledupon to take up the burdens of life;when taxed to tho utmost by ma-

ternity; when families require all ofstrength and nerve, and do uot com-

pel them to endure the confinementnow that will be a curse in thehereafter.

Let the cirls romp. There is nomore beautiful sight iu the worldthan a bevy of biight-eye- d, rosychecked girls, with flying feet andflying hair, indulging in innocentmirth, happy, whole-hearte- d, sunny-face- d,

lightly laughing, storing uphealth against the days when trialsand tears shall come. It is yourduty o give your daughters feedom

to let them revel iu tho pure airof heaven; to give full play to theintricate machinery of the humanframe; and the foolish mothers whoshrink from a little " tan," from vig-

orous expansions of waist, and all theother blessings given by Providence,arc only wise iu their own conceitand nntail untold misery and earlydeath upon those they pretend tolove.

Let the girls romp.

Tho Ilev. Mr. Moody speaks outin meeting in this manneron "churchfairs." "And there are yonr grab-ba- gs

your grab-bag- s! I tell youthere is too much of this. Yourfairs and your bazars won't do, andyour voting, your casting of ballotsfor the most popular man, or themost popular woman, just helpingalong their vanity. I tell you itgrieves the spirit; it offends God.They've got so far now that fortwenty-fiv- e cents youug men cancome in and kiss the handsomestwoman in the room. Think of this !

Look at the church lotteries goingon in New York. Before God, Iwould rather preach in any barn, orthe most miserable hovel on earth,than within the walls of a churchpaid for in such a way. What is theuse of going to a gambling den whenyou can havo a game of grab with alady for a partner?"

He who has nothing to do in thisworld but to amuse himself, has gotthe hardest iob on hand.

That blue ointment-an- d kerosenemixed in equal proportions, and ap-

plied to bedsteads, is an unfailingbed-bn- g remedy, and that a coat ofwhitewash is ditto for the walls of alog house.

That kerosene will soften boots orshoes which Iihvc been hardened bywater and render them as pliable asnew.

That kerosene will make tin teakettles bright as new. Saturate awoolen rag and rub with it. It willalso remove stainn from the cleanvarnished furniture.

That cool rain water and sodawill rmove machiuo grease fromwashable fabrics.

complish what you undertake; de-

cide, then persevere; diligence anilindustry overcome all difficulties;never be mean rather give thantake the odd shilling; never post-

pone till the morrow what can bedone to-d- ay ; never anticipate wealthfrom.any source but labor.: honestyis not only the best policy, but thoonly policy; commence at the firstround and kerp climbing; makeyonr word a1? good as your bond ;seek knowledge to plan, enterpriseto LSCUlf. honesty to govern all ;never trade beyond your stock ; nev-

er give too large credit; timt ?3
