Al Beautiful Handwriting.

There are but few of our readers who would
not like to acquire rapid and beautiful
handwriting, for there is no one accomplish
ment SO highly priced as this. The business
colleges of the country have afforded the best
instruction in this branch and have succeeded
in producing the most accomplished penmen.
The best penman in America to-day is Prof
GAsKEIL, President of Bryant & stratton Col
lege of Manchester, N. II. Thereare few low
ers of the beautiful art of penmanship who
have not heard of this wonderful penman and
many have seen specimens of his skill. His
large specimens have attracted great attention
in New York City and throughout the country
where they have been placed on exhibition.
He is now engaged day and night sending
out Copies for selfinstructon, which he writes
himself exp ressly for applicants, 50 that any
one can learn to write at the home flresde.-
These contain full printed instructions, and
are put up in large heavy envelopes and sent
by mail prepaid for S1.0O per package. They
are all fully explained that no one can fail to
learn rapidly from them. They have been or
dered by ousands-not by poor writers alone,
but by the leading teachers of penmanship
throughout the United States and Canada. Our
readers would do well to write for a package,
as nothing so complete, beautiful and useful
for self-instructon will ever again be offered
them.

THE ALDINE for February is in every respect
equal TO the sanguine expectations excited by
the January number of this remarkable period
ical, of which issue appears to be the climax
until its successor appears. The opening illus
traton is a magnificent full page by j. d.
Woodward, of Puncheon. Run Falls, which is
certainly one of the most delightful pictures
which it Is possible to conceive. Further on
we have smaller illustrations by the artist, the
whole being illustrative of an aricle on Vir-
ginia scenery, with especial reference to the
beauties of the Blue Ridge. can Attack in
the Rear,' by j. G.. Brown, a snowballing
sketch, is worthy of that eminent artists repu-
tation, and it is in the exhibition of work from
the pencils of the first painters in the country,
that THE ALDINE is justifying the highest ex-
pectations of its friends.

DuncannOn at WOrk.-We learn that
the citizens of Duncannon have opened
books for subscriptions in aid of the road
from Bloomfield, soSh the prOoiso that
Duncannon be made, the eastern point.
This is what their friends here desire.
Duncannon can not be expected to aid in
building up any other point, but with
certainty of sufficient aid from there to in
sure the building Of the road, there is no
doubt that Duncannon would be the choice
of majority Of the subscriptions taken
here. With the citizens Of Bloomfield and
vicinity it is question of dollars and cents,
for having determined to have road, they
want to build it to the point that leaves
them the least amount to raise. Talk will
not build it, but good subscriptions WILL
and these are what we are after.

"JaIllbOrec."

Young Jamboree boy about thirteen years
old, son of the barkeepor of the Eagle Saloon, De-
maincd at his post, lin single-handed game Of
euchre after the "party" had broken up in a gen.
eral "bust,' and every hand had been abandon
cd, except his own and that of one remaining ad-
versary.l
Tie boy held on to the greasy "deck,"
Whence all but him had fed;
The lamp threw its light on his last red check
And he hadn't another "red."
Yet, beautiful and bright he sat,
As LoTn to win Of lose
With Tho ncc Of trumps hid under his hat,
And "bower,' or two in his clothes.
The game went on, he would not go
Without his fathers word;
That father, drunk on the floor below,
HIS voice no longer heard.
He called aloud, "say, daddy, say,
Hadn't better go il alone p"
He knew not that the chieftain lay
Unconscious of his son.
"Speak, father" once again, he cried
Elm playing my very best for even,
And"-but the man on the other side,
"Ordcred lim up" ON the seven.
His countenance fell when his car caught that
But it wasn't time TO grieve;
So he played the ace from under his hat,
And the fright bower" out of his sleeve.
And then he shouted once more, at last,
''My father must stay ;"
While over the table, thick and fast,
The futtering pastcboards play.
The "taller Dip burned fearfully wild,
And iickercd up on high
And cleaned in the face of that gallant child,
And nearly blinded his eye.
II hickcrcd up, it lickered down,
And at last disappeared in the socket;
And the man at the table, who "hailed fror
town."
Slipped all the stakes in his pocket.
"And then with burst of thunder sound"
lie kicked over table and chairs;
And cleared the door with single bound,
And slid down the banster stairs.

Mrs. Jei ON, Watson spoke with
emphasis and feeling, and Mr..
John Cox heard her mcekly, with
a faint Smile lowering around his
lips,
"What is it now, Fanny p he
asked looking up from his newspa-
per at his sisters flushed face.
"Eliza!"
The word was fairly popped out
of Mrs. Watson's mouth, and Mr..
Cox seemed to fully understand all
it implied.

"She keeps the house in order,
cooks superbly, and never both

"Keeps the house in order !" said
Mrs. Watson, with supreme scorn.
"Thc dust under the sofas, bureaus

John, the waste that goes on in
your kitchen !"

that cut short the contemplated re-
monstrance. "Jf i did not come

Eliza would make you pay for food
enough to support family of ten,

You are rich, and you ought to

In another column we relate the first
tidings of another marine disaster, 80
terrible that the blood chills in antici-
patton of details. On the 10Th of Nov.
the steamship, Vile du Havre, of the
French line. left New York on her way
to the French port whose name she
bore. On the morning of the I'D she
came into collision with British vessel
bound from London to New York. The
catastrophe took place at two O'Clock in
the morning, when nearly every body
on board must have been locked in the
soundest slumbers, and so fatally effec-
tive was the shock that the steamer
went down and more than two Eun-
dred of her passengers, many of whom
were well known citizens of this country
enroute to Southern Europe, to spend
the winter, found watery graves.

GooD AND True We are glad to
see that good old family newspaper, the
New YORK OBSERVER, has come out
boldly in opposition to the foolish prac-
tice of batting subscribers with cheap
pictures. 1t declares the premium
business demoralizing, and repudiates it
altogether. 1t will not be long before
every paper that is worth having will
take the same stand. A good family
newspaper ct 50 a year is the cheapest
luxury that can be enjoyed, and we can
heartily recommend the NEW YORK
OBSERVER as such paper. s. l. Prime
