to read an hour . day. or at least at that

him by his uncle, with which he timed his

an hour each day. II would be 1,555
hours, which at the rate, Of eight reading
hours per day, would be equal to three
hundred and ten days; equal to forty five
weeks: equal TO twelve months /; nearly q
years reading. That timo spent in trea-
suring up useful knowledge would pile up
a very large store. I am sure il Is worth

A Sensible Girl.


Some writer, to us unknown, tells
the following story Of her;
Twenty years ago, a young man
who had paid his attention to u
bright, sweet giil, for long time,
without making anything that was
even second cousin to proposal,
was startled one evening by the
question, d" Robert, do you want TO
marry meY" lie tried to evade the
question by asking why she put such
a question to him. Because, if you
do not want to marry me you must
stop coming to see me. No mocking-
bird around the cd breasts nOst } Ou
know"
Robert took the hint, and with a
cool good night, walked home. What
should he care for a girl so rude as
that. Good company as hers else
where. Would join the club next day.
lie tried 10 sleep but could not. lie
didn't quite like the turn things had
just taken. The figure plagued him
lf he was a mocking bird, who was
the red breast that he was keeping
away from such a fuing partnerg-

Edna is smart as she is pretty" he
suid to himself, "and she means bus
mess"
The next morning Robert went TO
the counting room. IL was long
day Business had dragged. Every
body was pre-. occupied, hurried, cross.
He was glad to 60 home, only it
wasn't home. lie took book, but
found himself trying to read the Goals
in the CRATE and figures on the wall
instead OF the page. He threw him.
self on the lounge, but it was dread
fully dull. lie stood it for awhile,
and then put on his hat and walked
down TO the widow Craigie's
He stepped up to the door as usual,
bnt Edna was engaged. lie asked to
have her called. 1t seemed month
before she came AT last she ap.
peared He rose from his seat aud
met her in the middle Of the room,
and said, E" Edna, have come here
tonight on business. | am tired of

Edna, her face suffu-ed with blushos

Robert.

Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll
and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is
a greater transgression Of the laws of
woman's nature, greater injury to
her physical and mental constitution,
than the hardships of poverty and
neglect. The slave woman at her
task will live aud grow old, and see
two or three generations of her mis-
tresses fade aud pass away. The
washerwoman. with scarce \ ray Of
hope TO cheer Der in her tolls, will live
to see her fashionable sisters all ex.
tinct The kitchen maid is hearty
and strong, when her lady has to be
nnrsed like sick baby.
1t is sad truth that fashion pam
pered women are almost worthless
for all the good ends of life; they
have but little force of character
they have still less power Of moral
will, and quite as little physical cner-
gy. They live for no great purpose
in life-thev are dolls, formed in the
hands Of miliners and servants, TO be
dressed and fed to order They dress
nobody, they bless nobody, and save
nobody. They write no books, they
set no rich examples os yirtuo and
woman's life. If they rear children,
servants and nurses do all, save Ia
con eeive and give them birth. And
when reared, what are theyg What
do they ever amount 10, but weaker
scions Of the old stock Who ever
heard Of fashionable woman's child
exhibiting any virtue and power of
mind, for which it became eminent Z
Read Biographies of our great and
good men aud women. Not one of
them had fashionable mother They
nearly all sprung from strong minded
women, who had about as little to do
with fashion as with the changing
clouds

WORD AND DEED.


The world is rife with nobler thought
Than ,remhles on the tonguei
The world is full Of melody,
Unwritten and unsung.
The music Of a march is sweet
But action Is sublimei
Aud each may live nobler verso
Than Ger was told In rhyme.
Sweep from my sight these foolish books
That vex my weary brain,
And l will sit at Natures feet
Her open page the plain
And read pleasant roundeiay
In every blade that growsi
A lyric in the liiys leaf,
An epic in the rose
Yet tinklings Of the tongue or pen
To love sick girls belong
The music Of well spent life
Il swectcr far than song.
II suits me not this waste OF words
Our world were not so dead,
If maids and men would cease to write,
Aud live their verse instead

SUDDEN DEATH OF A MINISTER.-It is
our painful duty this morning to record
the sudden death of Rev. William j.
Alexander, who for years has been Pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church at
Haneytown, Marshall county, bnt who
had recently occupied the pulpit of the
Presbyterian Church near Taylerstown,
Pa. He preached in the last named
church on Sabbath morning, and feel
ing somewhat unwell, he remarked that
he could not preach in the evening
perhaps he never again should proclaim
the blessed truths of the Gospel-but he
hoped the congregation would assem-
BILE at the usual hour in the evening and
and hold prayer meeting. He returned
home, and on Tuesday evening breathed
his last. Mr.. A. has been connected
with the Presbytery of Washington for
many years. His sudden death will be
mourned by all who knew him.
