Newspapers In the Schoolroom. Newspapers have as much place in th? schoolroom as histories and gram mars. The clean country and city papers teach language, history, civil govern ment, geography and spelling. Their teachings are all fresh. There are parents who object to teachers carrying newspapers into the schoolroom. They argue that chil dren, by reading the newspapers, be come too familiar with the doings of criminals. This plea is a feeble one. Children will soon learn that sensations have nothing to do with real history or tho world's advancement.

A PROXY PROPOSAL, IF in all onr lives you need me-if there should ever be any thing that I can do for you, I swear to do it. You can ask me nothing wlrieh, at any personal sac rifice, I will not en deavor to accom plish. Yon are rich, I poor. Yon are somobodv ; I am no body. But the timo may come when the promise will be worth something, and I will keep it." An hour before this speech was made, Frank Millard had paved Paul Holbrook's sister from a watery grave, and brought her safe iu his strong arms to very spot upon the beach at Newport where the two meu now stood together. There never were t wo men so utterly uulike as Paul Holbrook and Frank Millard. The first a hard working professional man, who had struggled ior such little success as Fate had meted out to him, unaided save by his own hands and braio. The other a man who had fortune for his friend from his birth ; who neither tciled nor spun ; who was a man of society ; a member of clubs; and ono with whom women always fed in love. From that day they were friends. And so it came to pass that, walking down Fifth ave nue one day arm in arm, they met Pose Lewis, that Frank introduced her to Paul, that th' y turned aud walked a block with ber, and that, a few evenings afterward, Frank took Paul to call upon her. She was beautiful. But that tells yon nothing about the woman-tue frank, sweet, womanly woman with whom Paul fell in love before he had Hr.own her a month. Wrapped up in his profession, engrossed by strug gles for bread and butter, which, while they seldom prevent a man from do ing g/eat things, always unGt him for society, Paul had known few women. He had no experience by which to guide himself, or by which to measure his own feelings. For a while ho did not guess that he was in love, and so was drawn nearer and nearer to the whirlpool, until, when the truth at last dawned upon him, there was no retreat. It was out of the qnostion that she should like him. It was im possible for him now to cease to love her-to bc happy without her. That she could care lor him never entered his mind ; that she did, would have been au absurdity too preposterous to dream of. But it was true, nevertheless. Rose said, "If he cares so little for me, I will make vory 6ure that he does not guess 1 care one whit for him." Paul 6aid, "8ho shall never laugh at me, though 6he does not love me. ?She shall respect me, and never gues3 her power, whatever pain I feel." And so they met and parted, day after day ; and no one guessed that auything t roublcd the heiress but Fran k Millard ; and only two, the same Frank Millard and Paul's sister Bath, saw how pale Paul grew. Poor Ruth ! who in her terror asked Frank Millard one day, if he thought that Paul were ill. "He is so unlike himself," she said. "I am frightened, Mr. Millard." And Frank had 6aid, "I think that your brother cannot be very ill. If anything troubles him that will pass away." "But do you know of anything that can trouble Paul?" asked Ruth. And Frank had answered, "Perhaps I guess at something, but lam not certain." They were together a good deal, Frunk Millard and Ruth. It had entered Paul's head at times, that this fellow liked his sister very well ; of late, that it was possible that he loved her. But Rnth, at seventeen, seemed a child to him. As she had said, ho worked very hard, but toil could not banish the "haunted thought" of his life. It grew stronger instead of fading. At last he resolved to try what charm there might bo in absence ; to leave the city ; forbidding himselt to meet the woman he hopelessly adored ; and availing himself of an offer which promised to be a stepping-stone, to his professional success, put a barrier of miles of lind and water between him self and Rose Lewis. At the samo time Rose, scorning herself for tho infatuation which she could not control, had also resolved to leave a place whero every day boro in its arms a possibility of meeting the man who, with indifference in his mien and coldness in his speech, still haunted her presence so persistently, and following an example already set by most of her fashionable friends, go to Europe. The A's were going, and tho B's. She should have pleasant company on the voyages, so she said to Frank Millard. On the same even ing Holbrook spoke of his departure to South America. "It's a good offer," he said. "I shall make money, and get on. Of course it's hard to leave Ruth alone ; but she will board with an old friend, and be well proteoted." "You are doing well here," said Frank, doubtfully. "In one sense, yes." "In another, no. A man must not peril his health." Frank asked no explanation. The days Hew by. Rose was ready for ber tour. Paul for his departure. Frank had seen a good deal of both. Ono morning he sat in Paul's room, and talked as people do when their miuds are on some subject which they hesitate tu mention. At last he asked : "Have you bielden good-by to Lewis?" Paul flushed, and shook his hen "It does not matter," he said. ' shall not probably meet again; will she care." "I think she would," said Fr "You will hurt her by going so." Paul shook his head again. "She will not care. Why sh she?" and he turned his head awi say the words. ? In a moment more Frank sj again : "Paul, you know I am neith bashful man nor a coward in : eases; but every man becomes 01 both, nuder ramo circumstance! have a favor to ask of you. You member your promise to refuse nothing I could ask of you. The has come when I have need of ; aid. Will you givo it to me?" "Tell mo what vou waut mi do?" "I want you to see Miss Lewie want you to tell her something w! I have not tho courage to tell her self-to tell her a love story, in and see what she says to it. Will do it?" Paul stood dismayed. He - h< all men, to undertake such a tasb this ! he who loved Hose so ma< He stood bewildered. So Fri splendid fellow, her mate in wes position and appearance, loved girl also. If so, she could not fa love him in return. They were n for each other. That fancy that Fr admired Ruth was a mere dream The little woman's heart, sweet ii lilith's was thus unharmed. Ye was all right. It was natural; why choose him for a go-between? do not refuse, Frank," ho falter "but you need not fear. Sho love yon. You aro not one to sm vain. " "I am a coward," said Frank. ,r. are a Rood fellow, Paul, and you i doit." "But how?" asked Puul. "I kc nothing of such things. I have ne told auy woman of my own love, shall harm yours in the telling." He was deathly white. But Frc I went on unheeding : I "Tell her a story-this : You kr a man who has loved her long, I who has never dared to say so. feels that his own deserts aro small to eniitlo him to hope ; but the eve of parting he can restr himself no longer; he must tell ] that lifo is nothing without her, t her love is thc only thing worth str iug for; he must ask her in t strange way because he has not co ago enough to do otherwise ; to 1 him hopo or despair. Then she v ask who this lover is, and you may t her; not until then-not until all t story of the love is told. And y will bring mo the answer." Paul turned a ghastly faco towt him. "You will tell tho tale just asl ht told you?" "Yes." Then he sought Miss Lewis. "?ou havo como to wish me b voyage," she said, as she held out L hand; but he only bowed and seat himself beside her. In a moment said : "I have come upon an errand tl will surprise you, Miss Lewis. I n commissioned to tell you a story." "That of some poor person?'" 8 asked, "l'on havo ouly to say th you know him to bo in need, ai worthy. " "It is the story of one who asks gift," ho said, "but not a gift of alma his voico trembled-"a gift that on you can givo- you, of all the world She looked at him shyly now. Hi eyes dropped. "I know a man who has loved ye for a long time," he weat on, takit now a sort of fierce and bitter pleasu in this cruel usage of himself. "Fe mouths he has thought of you by du and by night, until tnere is but 01 ! woman to the world to him-you. < all the objects that there are upon ti horizon of the future ho sees onl your face. He could do anything fe your sake; without you ho will 1 nothing. has seen no token of an liking for him in your faoo, nor hear it in your voice ; yet he would hai you hear his story, and know his fat? ere you aro parted from him. H namo-" But then a sharp spasm of pai caught his breath. Ho paused for a instaut. In that instant Rose turne toward him and put hor hand in his. "My love is not worth so much, she said, tearfully. "But since yo value it so highly, it is your3. 1 always-has been-since I first kne' you." And tears came faster, and woman hysterical sobs. And what could h do but take in his arms this womai whom ho adored, and who had jua admitted her love for him, under th impression that he had proposed t her. He was almost mad ; ho was quit distraught indeed. The suddenness o his happiness was in itself enough And then there was tho awful oon sciousncss of a terrible breach o trust. His utter joy and his woeful shami mingled themselves in his soul, as having bidden Rose adieu, he fount Frank Millard waiting for him. Frank looked at him. He turnee away his head. "What have you been doing?' asked Frank. "Why do vou loo! so?" "How can I ever mako you believt that I havo not played you false ?' faltered Paul, and Frank burst into a laugh. "You have proposed to her," ht said, "and she has acoepted you?" Paul could not answer. "You have the right to take my life," he said; "but I-" "Do you think I wanted to marry Bose," said Frank, "or that I dreamed she would accept me? I read your hearts too well. I knew your love, and your pride. I SIIW two who wero mado for each other tearing themselves asunder, and I took advantage of your foolish promiso to place ye?u in a posi tion in which it was impossible for you to conceal your true feelings. Some how I felt sure you would understand each other ; and at tho worst I should only have a refusal. My happiness, as I think you must guess, is depend ent on what Ruth will answer me some da}-, and I thiuk I shall have courage enough to do without your aid in this case. " When Rose Lewis returned from her European tour-a very briof ono - there was a doublo wedding ; and sinoe Bose and Ruth wero tho names of tho two brides, it is easy to guess who were their bridegrooms. - rn?

Speaking of Franklin Pierce re minds mo of a strange story I hep.rd the other day, -writes "Walter Wellman. During tho war a Presbyterian preacher in Missouri who, by the way, was afterwnrd in a Chicago pnlpit, fell under the suspicion of the Federal au thorities and was arrested as a spy. His name was Painter. Despite bis protestations ho was bundled off to Fort Warren, Boston. After being kept in confinement some months he was released, but in a pitiable plight. His clothing was worn out, he had no money, and, to make matters worse, his family had just arrived in Boston from the West, having been sent on by the military authorities. The poor man knew not what to do, bnt had re course in prayer, in whioh he was joined by his good wife. They had DO other placo than the street in which'tc offer up their supplications, but this circumstance turned out to be in their favor, for their sad story was written np in one of the Boston papers, and a hotel keeper oame forward with an of fer to keep the minister and his family until they were able to find employ mem. Accordingly'Bev. Mr. Paintei took up his residence with the hotel man and began looking for work. For some weeks he continued the search for employment, and with such yooi success that ho was greatly discour aged. " .When the outlook was at its darkest a strange thing O3currod. Rev. Mr. Painter was ono day surprised to hear that a gentleman wished to soe him. A very handsome, dignified old mac made his appearance, and thns ex plained the purpose of his call: "I have come, 6ir, to seek spiritual ad vice and comfort. As yon see, I nra well along in years, and failing health reminds me I am not long for this world. My home is in New Hamp shire, some distance irom here, hut there are good reasons why I do not wish to visit the ministers of tho gos pel in my own neighborhood. They would say i had boen an unbeliever all my life, and had turned to religion only from fear of doath. It is not my wish to give them that satisfaction,. and reading in one of the papers an account of yonr experiences, I re solved to come to you. Will you pray for me?" The two men instantly knelt, and Eev. Mr. Painter asked the meroy ol God for his visitor. Tho old gentle man was visibly affected. Then two or three chapters of Scripture were read, and a general talk about the strauger'e doubts and fears followed, Bev. Mr. Painter giving him much comfort. Next day the old gentleman callee again, and this time himself asked tho grace of Gol. After thanking tho minister for taking an interest in his case, he placed in Rev. Mr. Painter's baud an envelope, saying: "Do not open that until to-morrow." He then went away.

She was educated in this remote settlement, and will not leave it. Thus it happens that very few poo plo have ever seen Miss Eving, al though her fame has sprea.l far and wide by word of mouth. To be more exact on tho subjeot of Miss Ewing, it may be mentioned that although she weighs 290 pounds, her height of eight feet two save3 her from any appearance of obesity. On the contrary, she impresses ono as grace fully slender, and this impression is contirmed by her taste in dressing. Miss Ewing prefers quiet colors in hei attire. Her hair is usually seen coiled closely about head and curled4in front. Her features are naturally large otherwise they would be insignificant. Her eyes are of that varying hue com mon to neither the blond nor brunette type of beauty, but suggestive of a combination of both. Her hands are large, but they taper in the fingers, and never seem ungainly. She wears rings on three of her fingers, and not infrequently jeweled bracelets adorn her wrists. Her shoo is seventeen in ches long exactly, and her arms are decidedly lengthv. - New York Her? aid. _ A Street Car (Juivcr. "How do you think I came to wear spectacles?" he asked. "Odd, aud yet it isn't. Hundreds of persons get them tho same way, through riding on street cars. No, nothing funny about it. Watch that fellow's eyos across the other seat.

Don't woik unless you have to, and then work slowly. Don't fail to carry an umbrella if yon are exposed long to the sun's rays. Don't drink anything to excess. Ice wator is about as bad as anything siso. Don't use a fan. The exercise of working it will overcome all tho good ycij experience. Don't think it is the hottest day yon ever experienced, and if you do think it, don't say it. Don't bo afraid of perspiration. It is a good sign, and it reduces the tem perature of the body. If you follow out the majority of these don'ts you will feel that you fol lowed tho injunction to keep cool. Don't feel it a duty to look at the thermometer every ten or fifteen min utes during the middle of the day. Don't make a meal largely made up of meats.

"Through the editorial and repoto rial rooms all the follies and shams of the world are seen day after day, and the temptation is to believe in neither God, man or woman.
