'Follow tlie Tclcsrrn|>li Poles, Johnny.' "I)o you think you bad better try to pet home, Jonny?" asked Grandpa Earle, looking from his sick-chair out of the window near him. "I am afraid it may snow, and the way home would bother you." "I wouldn't care, grandpa," said Johnny, "but I told mother she might expect me about dark; no, I said half past five?" "And that i3 dark, Johnny." "I know it; and if 1 can: get home sooner, so much the better! She will worry about me, you know, and I hate to have her do that." "Yes, I suppose she will worry," replied Grandpa Earle, remembering that his daughter had lately moved into the town and had still the stranger feeling. Her husband, too, was at sea. and she and Johnny were the only ones iu the house. "I see, 1 see how it is," said grandpa, "aud your mother will be louely without vou. Do you know th$ way?" Up Squirrel road?" "Yes, all the way over tliie hill; but if anything should happen^ snow commiug thick and bothering you where the road forks, as it does several times, then remember and don't take any risks in travelling by night, but follow the telegraph poles, Johuny! They run along side Squirrel road aud take you right over the hill. Don't forget, now!" "Thank you, ^ will remember." Johnny was soon outof the houseand tramping along Squirrel road. "Look!'' he said; "what is that?" Something white on his coat-sleeve a snow flake! then came another, another, and soon how fast they flew! But there were the telegraph poles! "They'll bring me home," murmured Jonny, aud he trudged on. In a few moments he heard a voice, and then somebody hurrying and panting behind him. "Hold ou, Jonny!" "That you, Fred Bently?" "Fred Bently, and nobody else." "Goiug heme, Fred?" "Nowhere else. I went over to the apothecary's to get some medicine for my mother.'.' They trudged along side by side, while tiie snow thickened rapidly in every direction. It grew dark rapidly, There, though, w<jre the telegraph poles, After a while they came to a road turning to the left. "Say, Johnny!" "What is it, Fred?" "This road goas down?here?in that direction, don't it? Here Fred pointed with his band. "It starts in that direction, but I can't say that it keeps on; can you?" "No, but?I?think it must bring us out near our home, and if it does, wby it must be shorter than squirrel road." "Do you know?" 11WU CAUV/V1J Fred bud not lived long in the neighborhood. "My grand father only spoke of Squirrel road, ond said one bad better not take any risks in travelling by night, and if?if?it got to storming bad, ami so on, and I couldn't see very well the road and got confused when it folks, why, follow the telegraph poles." Fred was a wilful boy, and rather j conceited also. "Well, I am going to take this road ! that branches off. It goes about where j I think my home is, and any way I' can't get lost bud. Comealoi.g! You'll, get bothered agaiu down in the place where the road l'alks." "No, [ can follow the telegraph poles." "Well, good-by, old Prudence." Jonny laughed good-noturedly, said good-bye ami, tramped ahead. He reached the next fork in the road", and he would have been greatly perplexed had it not been for the telegraph poles. The shadows and the snow! thickened about him, but they had a good-natured way of rising up and >-ee- j tiling to say, "I am your friend, Johnny." "Wish," said he, in ft little while, "I could have persuaded Fred to come with me; 1 don't feel easy about him. 1 mean to stop back to the fork in the roads and see if?" What to see he hardly knew, even ; if lie could see onyl hing; but he had j a strunge feeling' that lie had better go, and lie started off. "Hark! what is that?" he said, at the fork in the roads. Did he hear a voice! of!'in the lonely woods,? "Yes, yes!" he cried, excitedly, and lifting iiis voice lie shouted, "Hul-loo o o!" He had his arm round a telegraph pole as he shouted, and he felt very brave and confident. Soon there came a reply to Jonny's shout, and a second oNo, and then several nalloos, the cry echoing closer, and closer, and at last Jouny saw a black thiii# approach i 111:. "That you, Fred tfently?" "Thatyou, Johnny Evans?" The two boys were glad to see one another, and this time Fred was very glad to follow the telegraph poles. "> *-ll T [ .. limn nri|l) "1 IX'11 .KIIII^V, I USUI U Mine Ml II. confessed Fred. "I got all mixed up, I did. And this medicine tor mother ?1 tell you, Jonnv, she would have been poorly enough without it! I owe you a lot. There 1 was, all mixed up." "Where did you go?" "I don't know, hut into some kind of swamp, 1 gue>s, for 1 sank down through the snow, and then I went into water over my boots. 1 dont care I am all right now." The hoys pushed on. The snow was thicker than ever. It was darker, too, than ever. The poles could not be seen fitly feet away. But when uncer tain by reason of any road forks, the boys would hunt for a pole, put their arms about it and cry, "Here's our old friend!" They would push along from pole to pole, and so each of the boys got safely home. Johnny's mother was relieved of a burden of auxiety when she heard his footsteps in the entry, and Fred's mother was helped very much by the medicine. Jonny told his grandpa about his tramp over the hill in the falling, thickening snow, and in the dark. Graudpa heard him interest. Then he said, laying his hand affectionately on ineuoy sneau, "jjtutmui. jonnny, be faithful to your Savior, and when you are perplexed and don't know what lo do, take no risks, hut follow the telegraph poles, Jouny." "What, sir?" "Why, prayer and your Bible. Jlionny, and Sunday and the house of God and the Church of God; they rise up likeguideboards, wayraarks, beacons, and If you follow them, you will get home to heaven." "I'll,try, grandpa," murmured Jhonny Grandpa Earle did not stay long upon the earth, and when Jonny looked after his death upon the face so still and peaceful, he thought how gratidpt* had followed the way-mark^ faithfully that surely lead the pilgrim home through the wildest storms to heaven. A Fatal Error. The following amusing fling at the undoubted interest which many female church goerf take in their neighbors' bonnets, appears in an exchange. An eccentric clergymau in Cornwall had been much anuoyed by members of his congregation looking around at late comers. After enduring it for some time, he said, on entering the reading desk one day "Brethren, I regret that, your attention is called away from your religious duties by your very natural desire to see who comes in behind you. I propose heuceforth, to save you the trouble. by npmiug each person who may enter, and I hope that the service will then be allowed to proceed without interruption." He then begm : "Dearly beloved," but paused half way to interpolate "Mr. Stubbing, with his wife and daughter." Mr. Stubbing looked rather surpris- ( ed, but the minister, with perfect gravity, resumed his exhortation. Presen- , tly he again paused : *'Mr. Curtis and William Diggie." The abashed congregation kept their eyes studiously bent on their books. , The service proceeded in the most or- , derly manner, the parson interrupting ' himself every now and then, to name j some new comer. At last he said, still with the same perfect gravi- , ty. i "Mrs. Symons, in a new bonnet." ; In r moment he felt his mistake, but ( it was too late. Every feminine head in the congregation had turned , around. Exchange. , Judge Thomas M. C'noley, the great ( juiistand Chairman of the Inter State Commerce Commission, sat reading in his library on the night of Jan 10, when his Negro coachman, armed tuitli n /l/xiltln Knrrul uhnt.ffiin. Aiitpr etl. The judge saw from his looks : that lie was insane, but calmly asked him what was the matter. The Negro replied that he hml decided to kill the whole family, as they talked too much and left him no time to think. : The judge told him that he agreed ] with him, and would attend to it, and , .so influenced him that he laid down : the gun and departed. The judge then telephoned the neighbors to get a deDUty sheriff who arrested the coach- 1 man. This i8 equal to the Duke of, Wellington's famous encounter. A man of gaunt appearance forced his way into the room where the duke was writing. "Who are you?" said the duke, "and what do you want?" "I am Apillyon, and am sent to kill you." "What!" said the Duke, pointingto a pile of letters, "with all inose leueis uuausnncu. \<uiuv around to-morrow morning and I will l>e ready for you." The luuatic withdrew. Mr. Spurgeou was troubled by one who said : "I am sent by CJod to do whatever you wish." " "Well," said Mr. Spurgeon, "I was wishing that you would go away now and in telling it he says the fellow had sense enough to be consistent, and departed. itlndc ol The Right Stuff". On the corner of one of the business streets of the city, the other morning, n shoeblack had just finished polishing the shoes of a well-dressed and gentleappearing man. The latter was unfortunate in having a deformity which compelled him to wear a shoe 011 oneof his feet with an exceedingly thick sole, thus endeavoring to make up mechanically for what nature had denied 4,14V?u7 miifh shall I nav vou?" LI 1 111? J M.X* WW t m- m, lie asked tbe boy. "Five cents, sir."j "O. but you should have more than five cents for polishing iny shoes,"! said the gentleman, tapping the thick; sole significantly with his cane. "No, j sir," said the boy; "five cents is enough. I don't waut to make no| money out o' your hard luck." The; customer handed out a coin, laid his hand on the youngster's head for a moment and passed on. Who sa.vs the days of chivalry are over??Exchange, Tlie Sunshine of Smiles. There is one kind of sunshine : which it is needful to bring into every j home, and that is the "sunshine of! smiles." Next to the sunlight and warmth of heaven is that of a cheer-j ful face. No one can long withstand i its inlluence ; no one can mistake it. A bright eye, ami an unclouded brow, a sunny smile, a loving word, all tell of the peace and joy that dwell with-j in. One glance at such a face has lift-1 ed the mists and shadows from many a heavy heart and scattered the fogs' ifrom many a burdened spirit. A' bright, warm, cheerful face inside the i ! borne will drive away gloom and ren'der it impossible for it to exist.

In the Drawing Room. It has eome to be more and more i maxim of good manners, not to men tion good morals, that scandal is neve] to be miked iu the drawing-room. Sc thoroughly is this recognized, that if a woman is heard in good society talktng of unpleasant, personalities she is at once set down as an accident of the place, and not as one either to the manner born or who has been long enough with people of good breeding to acquire their repose and taste. Very likely many of these high-bred people iu quistion, who are to the manner born, hear gossip and scandal, and perhaps lend to them a too willing ear; but it is in privacy, in the depths of boudoir or chamber, vice Davintr its well-known tribute there to virtue in the hypocrisy that whispers it in the dark, as it were, and will not listen to it more publicly. And it is to be confessed that of the two evils the indiscriminate encourageraentof evil-speaking is the greater, for the hypocrisy injures one's self, but the opposite course injures one's self and many others besides. The forbidding of the enjoyment of scandal in public is, at auy rate, an acknowledgment of its vulgarity, if not of its wickedness. It proclaims, too, the fact that society thinks well of itself and its intentions, and has a standard of some loftiness, up to which it endeavors to live, and that it recognizes an interest in the possible ill-doings of fallen mortals as something intrinsically low and coarse, and calculated to hurt its own structure, an interest in such facts any way as indicative of an order of taste not to be desired, and its possessor a person not to be associated with. It may be simply as a sybaritic precaution, ease aud pleasure beingso much surer when no uncomfortable suggestion thrusts in an ugly head, that unpleasant topics of an unwholesome uature are tabooed in ihe conversation of the finest drawing-rooms. But whether this is so or not. it is plain that good society would like to be optimistic; it would believe in no evil aud would speak no evil; it has found that the essence of the golden rule : and as the voice of scandal violates all its notions, it has laid u})on such utterances witbin its borders the penalty of ostracismsHarper's Bazar. <u> Government of Children. Seated on the street, a gentleman came up, looking into one of these enticing shops, where confections were displayed in their accustomed way. Said he, "Let's go in," as he was leading a little two year old boy, while two nice little girls were following, all his own children, and be proceeded to'buy some apples which he desired for them and which he thought the most wholesome. The little boy, however, seeing that there was no candy in the purchase, urged his pa to buy him some. On being told that candy was not so Ejood for him as he thought, the boy commenced crying, "I want some candy." As his pa started home, the fkfl liUlfl Kmr nn rroftinnr mit. in thp LII ^ IlbblC W\/J j VIJ ^ViViu^ vv.v ? street cried the louder, 'rI want some candy." Whereupon his pa, a man of nerve, took him back into a shop and inthefareud of the same adminiitered such punishment as was necessary for correction, and the little fellow went home in as good order as a little boy could under the circumstances. Now, instead of turning in the first place, and saying, as many do, "SonDie, pa won't love you if you act, so, be ashamed," and such nice soothing expressions, which are well enough in place, and buying the candy and Spoilling the child, he acted as above. Now, it is not necessary to comment. There is too much compromising and yielding to the children of this age. Too many are left to themselves, to have their own way and bring their parents to the same. Herein is the chief reason why young America is so wild and wayward as it now appears. ?Statesville Advocate. Don't Be Stingy* Economy is not stinginess It isgetting out of a thing all there is in it, and not expending tw enty volumes of heat to boil one volume of water, not paying a dollar for a dime's worth, not having the barrel of apples and buy.ng a barrel of acid at the druggib't'ri later on, for the apple juice is much the cheaper medicine of the I wo. An ignorant woman is, as a rule, really an extravagant woman. She does not understand the proper use of material, nor will she learn.

If meat can be cooked so as to retain 100 percent, of its nutritious qualities is it not waste to lose half of this by improper cooking? If in August the system needs but a few lightwood sticks to keep the fires roing, isn't it waste to shovel in tons of coal? Yet there are thousands of women who cannot conk corned beef aright, and have sausage for breakfast in the dead of summer. Is it wise to pay ten cents a pound for shavings to keep up a fire when hickory sticks can be gotten for half that sum, and are cleaner, easier to handle and give out better results? Take care of the peptics, and purse will take care of itself. The woman who buys poor food actually revels in extravagance.

Bishop Vincent introduced him thus: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now to have a lecture on "Fools" by one of the most distinguished"? there was a long Ipause, for the Bishop's inflection indicated that he had finished, and the audience roared with delight, so that it was some time before the sentence was concluded?" men of Chicago."

Rub an ounce of butter and two tablespoonful of flour together; add it, with half a dozen cloves, a blade of mace and a bunch of sweet herbs, let boil, and stand on the back of the stove- fifteen minutes. Plants in Living Rooms.?It is well '4 to keep two or three pots of plants in living rooms as a test of the quality of the air. If the plants flourish the air is good. If they are sickly and the leaves drop, the air is likelj to be too dry or to be impure. A baby will thrive in a room where houseplants thrive. Brackets beside the windows may serve to hold the plants if they na n nnt -xl * ? i.uu a ^uuu pmue umerwise* Butter Beans.?Boil in salted water, as for immediate use, until nearly done, then spread on earthen plates and dry at once in the oven, taking care to avoid scorchfhg; keep in a cool, 3 dry place in paper bags. When needed for the table, soak them over night and cook tbem in the water they are soaked in. Beans thus prepared are almost as good when the snow flies as when fresh from the vine. Steamed Cabbage.?Chop cabbage fine; take tablespoonful of butter, put in pan and brown; put in this hair a ' v-a cup of white sugar. Let this come to a boil; then add previously beaten one egg, half cup of cream, baif teaspoonful of cornstarch; stir these in the boiling vinegar.

If your children are unbearably noisy try and see if making the housekeeping more exact will not make them more quiet. Leghorns and Minorcas.?These two breeds are now rivals, and are so nearly alike that a novice cannot distinguish between them, says poultry-authority Jacobs. The White Leghorn . jj has yellow legs, and the White Minorca pale, flesh-colored legs. The Leghorn has ear-lobes of cream color, while the ear-lobes of the Minorca should be white. The Minorca is about a pound larger than the Leghorn, and has a larger como. Asesg proaucers mere is but little difference between them, both being non-sitters and excellent layers.

Let it stand over night, aud in the morning, just before bakeing, add for each pint, as above, two eggs, whites and yelks beaten separately;} stir all together and bake immediately. No more flour should be added in the morning, as it will make the waffles tough. The Art of Conversation.?The art of conversation is to some women a , ; gift. Like the poet, they are born with their glorious powers. But many women who converse intelligently and pleasantly have become masters of the art by patient care and study. Even persons or ordinary ability win nua upon making the effort that where it is not a gift, no other deficiency can be so well supplimeuted by art. For the untutored there are three old rules which may not prove amiss. Talk to men on the subject which belongs to their peculiar calling; talk about those things which Interest yourself, assuming also that they interest your listener, and make it a point to inform yourself upon a variety of topics; neyer be guilty of introducing in a mixed company a subject upon which all may not be able to converse. There is a wonderful faculty in drawing people out, in making the stranger and the timid feel at ease, in putting questions so skillfully and adroitly as to compel them to answer as though they were conferring a favor on you, not you seeking to entertain tbem; but here the rule of goodbreediug is the best to follow.

A book sometimes may kindle enthusiasm, but the short and safest way from the heart to ;the heart is, and always will be, the human voice. It is the fashion, hi some quarters, to assert that the preacher's day lias passed, that the book, the magazine and the newspaper have superseded the pulpit. But when the printed page supersedes the human voice, the 1 human heart will also have been superseded by type metal."
