Lost in a Bed.

"Can't you tell me story, HUI
dah?" asked Esther.
.'Oh, don't know" said Huldah;
" | never read many stories"
II don't mean book STORIES" said
Esther; tell me about when you was
little girl, and things used to happen
to you"
Huldah looked rather sober for few
minutes: as if it wasn't a pleasant thing
to remember, and then she laughed, and
said. "Ill tell you one thing that hap
pened to me when was a little Girl:
I got lost"
"Oh did you?" exclaimed Esther;
'lost in the woods?'
"No.'' said Huldah, Il was lost in
my bed, and they didn't find ME for
about ten hours
How funny" said Esther WAS
you little speck of baby?"
No" said Huldah, II was seven
years old, and my brother Frank five;
he was lost too; I'll tell you how it hap
pened. My father and mother went
away to stay most of the day, and left
Frank and me at home They told us
not to 60 out of the yard, and we always
minded father; but after they were
gone we began to hunt around for some
thing to amuse US. We didn't have
any playthings or books, so after while
we spied fathers pipe hanging up by
the chimney, and we thought we would
take smoke. Frank got an old clay
pipe, and l took the big brown one with
the brass cover to the bowl. We filled
and lighted them, just as we had seen
father do and then sat down by the
fireplace to see who could smoke the
longest. Pretty soon Frank began to
feel sick, but he was determined not to
give up till [ did, so he smoked away,
until at last l grew so dizzy I dropped
my pipe, and we both ran out of doors
and lay on the grass and cried. Oh,
how sick [ was ! and poor Frank was as
white and faint as he could be. After
a while >;e agreed to lie down on the
trundle bed, which was pushed under
the bed where father and mother slept ;
and as we were too sick to think of roll
ing the bed out, We just crept under
and lay down there. That was the last
we knew about the matter; but when
father and mother came home, and
could find no trace at all Of US, you may
be sure they were frightened They
searched the house from garret to cel-
lar, they inquired of all the neighbors ;
but no one had seen anything of US.
1t was very dark night, so after search
ing all over the village, they concluded
to wait till morning.
Mother began to prepare for bed very
sorrowfully, and at last, without think
ing, she drew out the trundle bed, as
she always did, and there we both lay,
sound asleep. Mother sat down by us
and cried for Joy, and father ran out to
tell the neighbors we were found. Then
he tried to wake us up; but when he
stood US on our feet, we sank down on
the floor like rag babies He shook US,
he talked to US, but it was of no use :
so they had to let US sleep until day.
light, and then we woke with such dread
full headaches as I suppose drunkards
have. We really had been drunk, only
it was with tobacco smoke, and every
body said it was wonder it didn't kill
us. 1 can tell you, Frank and / never
wanted to touch pipe again.
II should think not" said Esther.
81 just wish my uncle Marshall had
been with you and got sick too, because
I never do like to kiss bim when he's
been smoking."- IN ". CA.

Reform Platform for all Parties in all
the States.

At meeting of the undersigned held
in '' the Study" after due and careful
consideration, it was unanimously
agreed that the following be the Reform
Platform Of the future
Resolved L-That we shall cut off, with
out remorse, all useless expenses. 1t is
disgraceful to free Americans to be slaves
to tobacco, drink, or any other indulgences
Of the kind, to foreign cooks, or feminine
decorators.
Resolved H-That we shall pay as we
go; the baker, butcher, boot-maker, milli-
ner and tailor, being thus enabled to trade
with cash and sell more cheaply to us;
and paying in cash being healthy check
on the Imagination, male and female
Resolved LI.-That we shall give our
sons farms, professions. or trades, that
they may have the fewest temptations to
dishonest smartness; they who live by
their wits having usually too small capital,
and there being already too many who
want 'situations and can do almost
anything"
Resolved IV-That we master all the de-
partments in which we engage "help," so
as to be able to judge of efficiency, and if
needful, do the work ourselves, even in
such hazardous employments as Sewing and
cooking.
Resozved V.-That we refuse all support
to keepers Of saloons for gambling, drink
ing and loafing to faro-banks, lotteries, and
other non productive industries, and
that we cultivate the joys of g Home, Sweet
Home"
Resolved VI-That, to our utmost ability.
and employed, both being in the same boat,
and all violent striking" tending to up
set it.
Resolved VIL.-That we heartily and
practically renounce all shams and frauds
Of every kind; all artificial fesh-tints,
manufactured human hair, French jewelry,
vinegar bitters, sample rooms, and mock
auctions.
on our own money, being free Americans,
and we'll knowing that "the borrower is
servant to the lender''
Resolved LX.-That we eschew as ''bo-
gus," on the face Of them, all companies,
Investments" and speculators that offer
nineteen per cent. profit, without risk to
the investor, we'll knowing that so high
interest means very low security
Resolved X.-That we repudiate all ab-
surd and fattering titles, calling no man
General" who is only ''Colonel," and
doubtful at that and that we cultivate the
straightforward, sincere manly speech
which becomes us as Saxons, Americans
and Christians.
Resolved XI.-That we order our papers
for 1874; including the Ledger-retrench-
ment there being bad economy that we
keep our heads cool, and our feet warm and
that we pay the clergy.
Resolved XII.-That on the foregoing,
and as many other pladks of tie same tim
Der as we can find, we kindly, firmly and
constantly labor to induce our fellow -citi-
zens, male and female, squarely and solidly
to stand, in the firm persuasion that the
Independence and Glory Of these United
States will be thus promoted and perpetu-

The Horny Hand.

T4e horny U1uQ.
0 toiler with the moistensd brow,
And with the horny hand,
No matter if you hold the plow,
Or at the anvil stand.
My father worketR hitherto,
And work, WAS the word,
OF Him whose speech was ever true,
Yet honor claimed as God
Until some patient toiler rise
With cunning hand or brain,
NO telescope can pierce tho skies,
No steamer cross the main.
The toilers-not the drones of earth,
Are worthy of renown.
And they-when reason has her reiRn-
Will win and wear the crown.
All honor to the ever restless brain.
Or sturdy toiling hand,
That has raised two blades of useful grain.
Where one alone did stand
All hail! then, to the horny hand.
And to the mOistened brow.
TO those who at the anvil stand,
Or guide the cleaving plow.
