MY COTTAGE WINDOW.

HoMELr and humble, these my cottagefooms,
- No fine uphostering or gllded walls
NO woven threads from Porsia's tabled looms,
No fatr-arched entrance into stately halls.
No marble CIytie with is frozen veins
= All eloodless, wandering over snowy breast,
But one sweet Cupid touched with richer stains
Of rosy life on lip and cheek and crest
OF shining curls, whose spirsls catch the glow
OF every sunbeam; this my kingly boy,
Aud my one window, wisely made Tor show,
or greenest foliage-these insure me Joy.
My cottage-window, framed with sturdiest vine.
Whose gladness laughs in every lusCy leaf,
Who're iuchsias hang their bells, and pausies shine
Like violet eyes, touched with some childish
grief
Hero blooms the rose, and there the spicy pink,
Here lifts the Gala, grand and pure and fair,
And here sit to read or work or think,
Or twine bright flowers in baby's golden hair.
Call me not poor, for wondrous wealth Is mine,
Tho wealth Of boundless love and sweet con-
tent;
One human blossom, heaven shall make divine.
And Gods dear flowers in loving likeness blent.
Hearth and Home.

nearly 45 years. He was first elected TO
the position in 1895, and has held it

President Brentford ruled the school
entirely by kindness. There were no
written rules, Or most likely they would
have been disobeyed. But they heard
his wishes from his own mouth. and
very few transgressed them. Of course
the teachers were often disobeyed, as
poor impatient Monsieur Garou could
we'll testify, but they were pretty sure
to respect the wishes of their president.
Out of the school house the teachers
were very sociable, and converssd
with the girls almost as freely as with
each other. 1t was observed that In
dia Lester considered the "rather good
looking" Professor agreeable, for she
was often seen eonversiHg with him,
and that he did not seem averse to
long conversations with the heiress,
But this was not strange the girls said,
for India was one of his best scholars,
and of course she would on that account
be a fayorite ofhis. Be that as it may,
the proud girl felt a hot flush rise to-
her face at his approach, which no other
had ever been able to call fogth. A
young professor in ladies school is to

criticise him most numerically. Every

run the gantlet of criticism. If he

soon forgive him for it.

an eel about eleven inches long and half
an inch in diameter at the largest part
came forth from the house once occupied
by an oyster. 1t is supposed that the
oyster took the eel in out of the wet when
quito small, and in return for its kind

throat of his brother Henry obliquely,
lodging somewhere about the cervical

it has effected Judgement where it is
impossible to get at it without increased
danger. Another warning to those who

Peterson & Carpenters salesroom for the
sale of Wheeler & Wilson's Sewing Ma

stores on Chestnut street, and presents to
the passer-by the appearance of cheer
fulness and activity seldom met with.
This enterprising firm enlarged their
store to its present dimensions in order
that they might have the proper facili-
ties for conducting their greatly increas-
ed business. ....
The number of salesman, clerks, ETC.,
employed by this firm is over three hun
dred, and they have one hundred and
fifty wagons in daily use delivering ma
chimes throughout their territory.
Messrs. Peterson & Carpenter were the
first to introduce in Philadelphia the now
popular plan of selling sewing machines
on instalment, thus enabling many, who
could not otherwise possess themselves
of these now indispensable articles of
household furniture, to do 80.
Besides their Philadelphia Office they
have branches offices in Baltimore, VIII
