" My poor., poor eyes, they are blinded wil
tears,
And I cannot work!" she said,
Tossing aside her thimble and shears,
&nd windiDg her spools of thread.
The riotous wind with her roses stay'd
A-wooing, a-wooing along;
The swallow she slep t al In ud ismay'd,
And her dreams ther were sweet wii
song.
But Qhe lady lay on her pillow wbite,
'%Vhite as a ghost lay she,
Speeding her soul on a lonely flight
To her lover afar at sea,
"Thbe night is drtnken with drear alarm,
And I cannot sleep !" she said,
Tossing the snow of a weary arm
On the fold of a weary head.
Thevelvety roaes-foolish things!
A-noddin-, a-nodding were
To tbe wind a-fa.rling bhis wanton wings,
Where the lilies were all &tstir.
But the lady lay at her lattice low,
]Low as&.the land lay she,
'With every beat in her breast a blow
For ber lover afar at sea
,"My blood is fire, my breath is flame,
IAnd I cannot live!" she said,
Walling the words of her lover's name,
As if he were doomed and dead.
The beautiful ship went under the moon,
any love for me, don't again say I :
have no regard for you, for it is "
- this feeling of regard that causes t
me grief to see you commencing a c
course which, if continued must I
end in your ruin, here and hereaf- t
Ster."
"Kate, this is perfect madness! I r
say again, I must have my inde- I
pendence! I would scorn to refuse f
to pledge in wine the health of our
fair hostess. What if it did make o
h it a little merry! I think too much y
of myself to become intoxicated, of a
course ; and I do think you are ma- t,
king entirely too much of a trifle, d
by allowing your scruples to over- n
rule your better judgment. I can- a:
not believe it right for a man to iE
bind himself in any way; he should u
be free to act as his own feelings il
may dictate."
"I say amen to that Stanley.- I-a
You are free from this very moment; o
and it will be worse than useless for te
you to hint this subje.ct again at any t
time or under any circumstances, t<
unless you have been a pledged tem p
perance man for at least one year; b
and Heaven helping me, I will I
stand firm in my determination, it
and not yield one iota, though it 5<
break my heart! But, oh! Stanley, ;I
I implore you to think of your aged g
mother, and forsake this horrible n
practice before it is too late to re-: n
trace your sters !" r
"Kate, for Heaven's . sake, cease n
this! my mind is in a whirl. I am cl
maddened! I cannot bear to be sent ei
off thus ; give me to-night for reflec- 0:
tion; to-morrow at ten o'clock I
will see you, perhaps, for the last IE
time." n
He seized her hand, imprint4d a sl
kiss upon it, and was gone. . i
- Poor Kate! She threw herself T
upon the sofa convulsed in tears.
"Oh, it is so hard, it is so hard.
If giving up half my life would 2
save him how cheerfully would it
be given; but I cannot yield to his
weakness, for it would be his ruin
and disgrace, and I-what, what *
would I be ? Oh,- it is too horrible P
to contemplate! a drunkard's wife! C
the very thought makes me shud- '
der."
Let us follow Stanley to his
boarding house, where he quickly '
repaired after p~arting with Kate. t
On entering his room he threw t
himself upon a sofa for reflection ; o
and, as he told me afterwards, rea- c
soned with himself thus: a
"I am in a pretty dilemma ; there I
is Kate on one hand, who loves me i
devotedly, and pleads with me in c
my sainted mother's name to flee f
from impending ruin and disgrace. v
1She would make any sacrifice for f
me, but what she calls her princi- h
-ples of right. She has pledged her
self never to marry a man who drinks e
Sand who refuses to sign a tern- 2
perance pledge and keep it sacred Ii
for twelve months ; and I know her C
well enough to know she will keep t
it to the letter. t:
"Now on the other hand, are all

st a drunkard, would they still court i

ry he was afraid to go where he would
u see wvine. But he was more thanI
o repaid for all he had lost, by the

HOW NOT TO DO IT.
The following speech was deliv
ed by Mr. Nash, of the Logans
rt Star, at the Indiana Editoral
onvention.
it. Presidnt, Ladies and Gentle
men:
When your committee assigned
te the task of telling "How not
conduct a country newspaper,"
iey recognized the eternal fitness
f things, for "How to conduct a
untry newspaper" is prominent
ong the innumerable things that
don't know, and yet ignorance on
is point is inexcusable for no man
m be connected with a country
ewspaper -two hours and a half
rithout receiving advice from many
tiends of the paper who know just
ow to do it.
Our facilities for acquiring knowi
dge are so great that every man,
roman and child-except the pub
shers-knows how to conduct a
ountry newspaper, and most of
LLem would be at home on. a me
copolitan journal.
The man who is required to pay
yr material, aid and labor, or fr
ish copy, finds it the easiest thing
naginable to publish a paper ; and
rhy all the dolts drift into newspa
er offices is a question that sorely
uzzles suffering hnmanity.
If a man erects a building on his
wn ground, buys presses, types,
nd all kinds of printing material,
rrites and selects his matter, and
says his employees, he imagines
hat he owns a country newspaper.
fothing can be further from the
ruth. The office is owned by a
oint stock company composed of
n indefinite number of stockhold'ers
-ranging from five hundred to five
housand-each share representing
dollar and a half or two dollars ;
ad every member of the concern
magines that he owns a controlling
nlerest, whether his subscription
e paid in greenbacks or advice.
But I am digressing, simply wan
lering off among the wise men who
re always ready to tell you how not
;o conduct a newspaper.
In publishing a country newspa
>er don't get in too much news.

ights, which are of greater interest

'Don't say anything about the po
itical situation, lest you hurt the
~eelings of a county officer who gets
us letter heads printed at your es
ablishment.
Don't say a word in j'our local
solumns about the 'merchant or
manufacturer who has a standing
dvertisement in your paper. If
he wants to keep his business be
fore the people let him pay for it at
twenty cents per line. That's busi
Don't neglect patent medicine

Don't fail to publish a long ser
mon on some doctrinal point every
week. This will gratify the man
who wrote the sermon.
Don't fail to give your readers a
full supply of original poetry. It
will encourage home talent and
make your paper popular with senti
mental young ladies, noted for well
ventilated hosiery and a charming
ignorance of housework.
Don't be particular about issuing
your paper on the regular publica
tion day. Give your readers a
chance to exercise that greatest of
all Christian virtues, patience.
Don't spend too much time in
reading proof. Let your paper be
-like your life-full of errors.
Don't fail to take sides in every
personal quarrel lOt occurs in
your town. If Smith wants you. to
pitch into Brown do it. Brown
may give you a good flogging for
your impudence, but you will have
bhe sympathy of Smith while your
wounds are healing.
Don't neglect any opportunity to
make your paper highly sensational.
If you have a "damnible rumor,"
publish it. If it be true, you will
gain credit for fearless journalism;
if false you have simply blasted
some one's good name, and commit
bed one of the indiscretions of the
ineteenth century.
Don't reject an article because it
borders on the obscene. The roughs
will endorse it and give you credit
for wit. In short, publish a paper,
in the interest of street-corner loal
grs, hotel bummers, and blear-eyed
ward politicians, and you will win
bhe lasting gratitude of your succes
gor, the sheriff.
How LImuRGtE CHEESE IS MIADE.
The preliminary stepa in the manu
facture of Limburger cheese are
iimilg,r to those employed with or
dinary cheese, except that the curd
is taken up in a moister state, more
whey being permitted to remain,
and the mass is heated to a differ
ent degree of temperature, thus pre -
serving all the richness which other
wise would be lost. It is then ta
ken from the vat and put in perfo.
rated molds five inches square -by
seven inches in depth which are
placed on the draining table, where
it is -allowed to remain for a short
time. It is then taken into the
cheese cellar below ground and put
on the pressing tables, where it re
mains about twenty-four hours be-4
fore it goes to the salting table.
After four or five days it is ready
for the shelves, where it is placed
in tiers and changed and rubbed
daily for about four to six weeks
before it is packed. The packing
process is done by rolling it in
heavy paper and covering it with
tin foil, when it is ready for mar
ket.
FOOLING THE OI.D LADY.-The fol
lowing story is very good, - but
rather apocryphal: A young man
out West was courting a pretty girl,
but her mother would not permit
him to stay after ten o'clock, greatly
to his and her daughter's disgust.
Last New Year's Day that young
man presented the old lady with a
patent clock of great beauty and
ingenuity. The prospective mother
in-law was greatly pleased, and gave
her old clock to a poor woman who
lived in the neighborhood. Now
that young couple are happy, for
this new clock is so constructed
that it will lose three hours between
8 and 10 in the evening, and make
it up all right before morning. The
old lady watches the clock carefully
and cries "Ahem !" as usual when
it gets to 10. And yet, she says,
she can't understand what makes
her get so sleepy before 10, and
hate to get up so bad the next mom
ng.
A CENTENNARIAN oR A SUICIDE.
A learned professor intimates that
all who die under one hundred years
of age are guilty of suicide! The
process of reasoning by which he
arrives at this conclusion is some
thing as follows: Duration of life
is measured by the time of growth;
the camel is eight years in growing,
and lives five times eight years ; the
horse is five years in growing, and
live twenty-five years ; man, being
twenty years in growing, should live
five times twenty years. So, Provi
dence having intended man to live
a centuy, he would arrive at thai
age if he did not kill himself by un
wholesome modes of living, violeni
passions and exposure to accidents
Surely, according to this theory,
the human race might well adopi
new and more healthful modes o:
eating, sleeping, working and recrea
ting, in the hope of becoming een
tennarians.

ANECDOTES OF DOGS.
A few feet from me, at this mo
ment, is a curious specimen of the
long backed, shortlegged German
hound yelept a turnspit, who came
to the establishment a silent, reserv
ed, even dull being. But on fair
encouragement his faculties became
developed. He showed signs of
a humorous disposition-as though
he could relish a jest-and began
to utter mysteriously uncouth and
cavernous sounds, as though labor-'
ing to find an utterance. These be
gan gradually to take the character
of expostulation, angry remonstance
piteous entreaty, weariness, to say
nothing of literal yawns when he
w,s bored. They are wonderful
creatures, even ip London, with
curious, puzzling ways of their own.
Thus, lately, one dark night, the
writer, entering 'a Hansom cab,
was duly encased within the glass'
and shutters. As the vehicle shot
off in its course, something white
appeared to flash on the footboard
in front, which by and by resolved'
itself into the outline of a greyish
white cur-dog, who had leaped up
in a half professional way, much as
the little tigers of another genera
tion used to skip up behind the cab
riolet. There this curious creature
remained, poising himself at the
edge, like'some spectral dog, and
balancing itself with ease, as a cir
cus rider would. When the cab
stopped, he was gone as suddenly
as he came. "Oh he were there,
were he ?" the driver merely ex
claimed. It turned out that this
lean, unkempt pariah had drawn
near the cab a few nights before,
had received less cheerlish greeting
than what he was accustomed to,
and had attached himself to the cab
in this mysterious way and was now
actually to be seen hovering in the
shadow afar uff. There was some
thing ghostly in the fashion in which
.he came out of the night and ap
peared upon the footboard. Again:
I was once acquainted with a dog
that had a no less singular penchant
for seeing a train pass under an
arch at a particular hour each day.
Punctually at five o'clock he would
rouse himself and set off at full
speed to keep his appointment,
using cunning devices when he sus
pected he might be detained. Hav
ing seen his train go by, and looked
down with a wary and critical air
to see that the passage was per
formed properly, he jogged home
with a contented mind. How did
he know the hour exactly?i Agairxt:
Every morning there comes to the

ble, in the service of our butter
man. It is drawn by a frisky, wag
gish little pony, evidently a pet ;
and on the pony's back rides a
vivacious little terrier, who, from
practice, can balance himself in a
secure and dashing style. Both
pony and terrier understand each
other, though the terrier capers
about the pony's neck in an incon
venient fashion. On cold days pony
has his cloth, while terrier has a
miniature covering of the same kind,
securely fitted to his person. When
the butterman comes up the area,
the sly pair are watching him, and
if in his huri'y he incautiously slam
the back door of his cart, a pre
tense is made of accepting the noise
as a signal, and off starts pony gal
loping, terrier barking and alngst
erect on pony's neck, while driver
is running along frantically striving
to climb into his vehicle as it goes.
Another dog, a red Irish retriever,
whose acquaintance I made lately,
was sent down forty miles into
Kent, shut up in a dog-box. On
his fir:st day's sport, he took offense
at the keeper using a whip to him,
a freedom he perhaps thought was
not justified by so short an ac
quaintance. The next morning he
was at the door of his house on
Victoria street ! How was this ac
complished ? He must have come
straight across the country, guided
by some faculty that his two-legged
superiors have not.

CHANGING ELECTION DAYS.
By alterations and amendmentb
of their Constitutions the severa]
States are gradually coming tc
agree upon November, and usually
the first week in November, as the
time for holding elections. Undei
her new Constitution Pennsylvania
holds her annual election in Novem
ber instead of October, as hereto
fore. By an amendment to the Con
stitution just adopted by the Legis
lature of Connecticut, which wil]
undoubtedly be ratified by the
people in October,that State changes
her annual election from April to
November. These changes have a
significance beyond their present
merely local effect. The change in
Pennsylvania from October to No
vember deprives that State of the
undue influence which it has exer
cised, at least once in four years, in
virtually discounting the Presiden
tial election in November by the
results of State election a month
earlier. In 1876 Pennsylvania will
not name in October the victor in
the Presidential contest, and there
will be no need of the tremendous
expenditures of money, breath and
patriotism, of which both parties
have been heretofore so prodigal,
in order to carry the October elec
tion to make sure of its moral
effect.
Connecticut is a much smaller
State and of less consequence in
the Presidential election; but the
election in that State coming in
April has hada significance attached
to it which it will not have here
after, on account of the indications
it furnished of the set of the
political tide and of whatever
changes had taken place in public
opinionasince the elections in Con
necticut has been watched by the
whole country with the most intense
interest, Lecause in the evenly bal
anced condition of parties it was
supposed that the prestige of victory
then would greatly strengthen the
winner and be the forerunner of a
more general and sweeping triumph
in the contests of the year.
The change of date for holding
her elections will slip the little State
into the procession with other and
larger States; and her politicians
will find themselves perhaps of less
importance than they have hithertc
thought. The change will have the
good effect too of preventing in
large measure the raids into the
State from New York, of whic]
there have been loud complaints by
both parties, for, with the electioni
on the same day in both States, th<
repeaters and stuffers will havy
enough to do at home without going
among their neighbors.

A DEFENSE FOR PRETTY H]
WOMEN.
After all is the world so very ab- sa]
surd in its love of pretty women? stu
Is woman so very ridiculous in thI
her chase after beauty ? A pret- ch<
ty woman is doing a woman's work ce
in the world but not making or
speeches, nor puddings but making eni
life sunny and more beautiful.- th4
Man has foresworn the pursuit of Wo
beauty altogether. Does he seek it ro(
for himself, he is guessed to be po- ly,
etic; there are whispers that his
morals are no better than they 0111
should be. In society, resolute to be
ugly, there is no post for an Adonis, pal
but that of a model guardsman.
But woman does for mankind, what he'
man has ceased to do. Her aim
from childhood is to be beautiful. up
Even as a school girl she notes
the progress of her charms-the
deepening color of her hair, the ed
growing symmetry of her arm, the
ipenig contour of her cheek. We an(
watch with silent interest the mys- C
terious reveries of the maiden*; she is I
is dreaming of a coming beauty
and panting for the .glories of
eighteen. Insensibly she becomes drc
an artist; her room is a studio, her
glass an academy. The joy of her cOl
toilet is the joy of Raphael over
his canvass or Michael Angelo over is I
his marble. She is creating beauty '
in the silence and the loneliness of Di
her chamber. She grows'like any sui
art creation, the result of patience,
of hope, of a thousand delicate Th
touchings and retouchings. Wo
man is never perfect, complete. A
restless night undoes the beauty of. hi
the day; sunshine blurs the evan
escent coloring of the cheek; frost 0
nips the tender outlines of her face Y0
into sudden harshness. Care plows at
its liles across her brow; mother
hood destroys the elastic lightness my
of her form; the bloom of her ful
cheek, the quick flash of her eye, a
fade and vanish as years go by.
But woman is trtif to her ideal. hir
She won't know when she is beat- ed
en and she manages to steal pe,
fresh victories even in her defeat. sel
She invents new conceptions of wo- -
manly grace;, she rallies at forty th
and fronts us with the beauty of sts
womanhood ; she makes a last stand ""
at sixty, with the beauty of her age.
She fails, like Caesar, wrapping her .

How TO Foutow A Jon.-A writer an
Sin Scribner's says I At the begin- "
ning of the session with the person 7E
before whom your art is to be exer- ro
cised, the smile, of course, is in t4e
order. The features should then
ftake their natural position in repose, "
Sor should if the circumstances seem a
fto require it, assume a graver ex
1pression ; it might, indeed, be well gi
to show the lies of the brow some- a
Swhat drawn together, with a sug
gestion of trouble, or at least of H
concentrated attention. Above al dc
ithings, remember that when your "
avis-a-vis begins what promises to be
aa prolonged humorous narration,
your face must instantly relapse in- at
tto quiet. The smile may begin early m
ain the story-but should be very al
slight and inconspicuous at first,
Sgradually diffusing itself over the fo
Sentire countenance and coming to l7
aa climax with tlie point of the story.- lif
either in an actual laugh, or still bet- Lth
,ter, in a radiant smile of apprecia- 7(
ation, tip-toe on the virge of laugh
ater, and-a hundred times more ef- bc
.- fective for its reticence. No one
- who has made use of this method te
. will ever' return to the old and of
e inelegant system-tiring to yourself k<
s and unsatisfactory to your interlo- ec
s cutor-of beginning the facile audi- la
- .ence, if we may so call it, at the lo
- highest pitch at the outset of his es
Li narration, and vainly endeavoring
5 to keep up the n :ain upon the fea- b<
& tures to the end. The consequence y~
e of such a course is, that either the
:t smile becomes hard and mechani
bt cal, or that precisely when most
it neededit altogether disappears, and
it you are forced to some clumsy sub
