The sIGNAL-BoX.

l am the wife Of an ex signal-man on
the Uniform Railway. His signal.b
stands high up, white and solitary
above charming country.
1t is very hot in summer, when the
sun shines on the glass, apd very cold
in winter, when the northeast wind
bowls around it, and whistles aerial
music through the telegraph.
1t was an important lookout, for with
in mile OF it, numerous lines intersect-
ed each other, over which day and
night trains were ever crossing and re-
crossing, with hairbreadth escapes of
collisions.
W hen John was counting ME, he offs
ten made me trouble about it, by say
ing, "Jane, that place is trouble to
me; one day know there will be a
crash ! feel it. A man can't ALWAYS
be i'll health. Even signalman's brain
will sometimes become dazed and mud

smash lnust come.
We were married, and John grew
brighter and more cheerful, aud | trus-
ted that he had forgotten that wretched
presentiment of his about the collision.
After six months, however, it return
ed, worse than ever He used to read
all the accidents; and when any of the
officials were convicted for manslauch-
ter or discharged for negligence, he
would say: THAT may be- my case to,
morrow, Jane; then what's to become

John" | said at last, "why don't you
quit the situation. and get something
else.
"Because married man should new

of another"

or you'll make me as nervous as yours

had begun to think about the cross
lines and the mail express as much as
John himself, though l wouldn't let
him see. The signal box began to
haunt me, and | used frequently to go
up to the turn of the road and look at
it for no purpose at all. That idea of
a collision was monomania with
John it was becoming SO with me.
A year went by safely, and, except
for that miserable thought, no two per
sons could be happier than John and l,

THR STRAWBERRY Cnor. The straw

THE STRAWBERRY CEoP. The straw
berry crop in Delaware and Eastern
MARYLAND is said to be immense this
season. Berries are being shipped from
the growing districts at the rate of four
cents per quart. The blackberry and
raspberry crop give promise Of being
as successful as has the crop of straw
berries. The prospect tor line crop
of peaches is said not to be so good.
On Tuesday next the regular meeting
of the Peninsular Fruit Growers Asso
citation will be held at Dover, Del,
when the growers from Delaware and
the Eastern Shore OF Maryland will re-
port the condition Of their orchards and
entire crop of tie peninsula can be
closely estimated, as by that time the
young fruit will be so far advanced as
to render its arrival at maturity tolera-
bly, certain.

4 WELcoME MAN. 1T the sight of d
man is beauteous. it is when you first
catch glimps of him through black
night, in strange depot, when pack
of hyena hackmen are to be dehed.your
luggage looked after, your hotel found,
and you are alone, a stranger and wo-
man. In that moment, if no other,
am duly grateful that man was made
who is ready to smooth my path and to
take care of me. At this moment four
women were thankful for the same fact.
In that day shall seven women take
hold of one man. Poor man He has
always had my pity, There was but
four of us, yet each one ofus knew that
onr guide, philosopher and friend had
more than his portion, though he took
up with smile and carried it like u

INFLUENCE OF HABIT.

In recent lecture Dr. Hammond. Of
New York, stated that the influence al
habit III fostering morbid impulse
once yielded to was exceedingly pow
erfuI, to illustrate which he related tho
following:
GA lady came nader my observation
who was subject to no delusion and who
had never given any evidence of men
tai alteration, except in exhibiting an
impulse, which she declared she could
not control. to throw valuable articles
into the fire. At first, as she said IN
her confession to me, the impulse was
excited by the satisfaction she derived
from seeing an old pair of slippers cur!
up into fantastic shapes after she had
thrown them into blazing wood fire.
She repeated the act the following day,
but not having an old pair of shoes to
burn she used an old felt hat which was
no longer fashionable. But this did
not undergo contortions like the shoes.
ard therefore she had no pleasurable
sensation like those of the day before,
and thus, so far as any satisfaction was
concerned. the experiment was fall
are On tho ensuing day, however, she,
to her great surprise, felt that it would
be pleasant thing to burn something.
She was very clear that this pleasure
consisted solely in the fultillment of az
impulse which to certain extent ha6
become habitual. She therefore seized
handsomely bound PRAYER book which
lay on the table, and throwing 1t INTO
the fire, turned away her face and walk
ed to another part Of the room. 1t was
very certain, therefore, that she was no
longer gratified by the sight of burning
articles. She went on repeating this
act with her own things, and even with
those which did not belong to her, un.
Til she became q nuisance to herself and
all those with whom she had any rela-
tions. Her destructive propeusities
stopped at nothing which was cap able
Of being consumed, hooks, bonnets,
shawls, laces, handkerchiets, and even
table covers and bed linen, helped to
swell the list of her sacrifices. AS soon
as she hid thrown the articles into the
fire the impulse was satisfied She did
not care to see it burn. On the con-
trary, the sight was rather disagreeable
to her than otherwise. But the force
which affected her in the way it did she
represented as being imperative, and, if
not allowed to act, giving rise to the
most irritable and unpleasant sensations,
which she could not describe otherwise
than by saying that she felt as if she
would have to fly Or jump or run, and
there was feeling under the skin all
over the body as if,he flesh was in mo-
ton.

They've hoisted up their new machine

They've got q chorister and choir,

I've been sister good an true
For Ave an thirty year
I've done what seemed my part to do.

And twice, when Deacon Tubbs was sick,
I took the fork an led
And now, their bold new. tangled ways
Is con in all about
And l, right in my latter days,
Am fairly crowded out
To-day the preacher, good old dear,
With tears all i'll his eyes,
Read--"I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies.''
] al'ays liked that blessed hymn
s'pose al'ays will;
1t somehow gratities my whim
In good old Ortonville;
But when that choir got mp to sing,
/ couldn't catch a word:
They sung the most dog-gondest thing
4 body every heard.
Some worldly chaps was standln' near;
and when l seed them grin,
bid farewell TO every fear.
And boldly waded in.

An ried with all my might;
But though my voice is good an strong.

When they were high. then 1 was low,

But oh, alas. found that
Was shinin' there alone !!
They laughed little, l am told;
But had done my best:
And not 8 wave Of trouble rolled
Across my peaceful breast
And sister Brown could but look
She sits right front of me.
She never was no singin book,
An never ment t. be:
But then she al'ays tried to do
The best she could she said
She understood the time right through,

But when she tried this morniu', on,

An Deacon Tubbs-he all broke down,
As one might well suppose:
He took one look at Sister Brown,
And ineekly scratched his nose,
lie looked his hymn book through and through
And laid it on the seat,
And then pensive sigh he drew,
And looked completely beat,
An when they took another bout,
He didn't even ri Sc
But drawed his red bandnnner GU.
An wiped his weeping eyes.
I've been sister, good and true,
For five and thirty year
I've done what seemed my part to Dc,
An prayed my duty clear;
But death will stop my voice, know,
For he is on my track
And some day, to church will CO.
And never more come back,
And when the folks get up to sing
Wiener that time shall be-
do not want no patent thing

Why SHE PLANTED RosEs.-A
blacksmith had in his possession, but
under mortgage, house and piece of
land. He was at one time fond of the
social glass, but was happily induced by
a friend to join the temperance society
About three months after he observed
his wife one morning busily employ
ed planting rose bushes and fruit
trees.
"Mary . said he, Il have owned this
cot tor Eve years, and yet have never
known you before to care to improve
and ornament it in this manner"
'Indeed." replied the smiling wife.
Il had no heart to do it until you
gave up drink. | had often thought
Of it before, but I was persuaded that,
should do it, some strangers would
pluck the roses and cat the fruit; but
now, with Gods help and blessing,
this cot will be ours, and We and our
children may expect to enjoy the pro.
duce. We shall pluck the roses and
eat the fruit
