She looked at him, wondering and fearing

ton him. He held her thin little hand still
fast in his own while he spoke, the sparkle
in his eyes as full of love as of triumph.
"My darling! what do you think has
happened?"
sob, Walter, don't look so! Something
terrible, am afraid
He laughed. He was in mood to laugh
at anything.
"Dont be afraid, Setar. The gods are
favorable to courage. Guess, my sweet
love-"

"Oh, Walter!'
"Don't gasp so-does that seem so ter
rible! And what do you think it means,
my pale darling?"
Her clerks looked as if she knew. Her
eyes told their story only to the buttons on
his coat. Very TREMENDOUSLY she essayed to
answer him; "Does it mean-that-that
some Of these days"
Mot bit of it. 1t means that NEXT
WEEK, if she will, Setar shall come to me,
and stay, and be happy, and make me
happy, forever and forever"

pleased to hear that Miss Gerry forgave
Setar heartily-nay, that she kissed her,

WHAT A CLEAN APRON DID.-Tidy neat
ness in girls is an attraction quite equal to
a pretty face; and it is a better recommend
alton, because a safer evidence of good
qualities of character. Incidents like the
following are abundant to prove this:
A lady wanted a trusty little maid to
help her take care of a baby. Nobody
could recommend one, and she hardly knew
where to look for the right kind of girl.
One day she was passing by-lane, and
saw little girl with white apron holding
baby in the doorway of a small house.
"That is the maid for me-" thought the
lady. She stopped and asked the girl for
her mother.
"Mother has gone out to work." was
the reply. Father is dead, and now
mother has to do everything"
"Should you like to come and live with
me-" asked the lady.
81 should like to help mother somehow"
The lady, more pleased than ever with
the tidy looks of the girl, called to see her
mother, and the end of it was, she took
the maid to live with her, and found-what
indeed, she expected to tind-that the neat
appearance of her person showed the neat
and orderly bent of her mind. She had
no careless habits, she was no friend to
dirt; but everything she had to do with
was folded up and put away, and kept
carefully. The lady finds great comfort in
her, and helps her mother, whose lot is not
now SO hard as it was. She smiles when
she says, "Sally's recommendation was her
clean APRON"

THE DURATION OF LIFE.-The follow
ing facts on the duration of life appear in
the Deutsche Tersichcrungs Zeitung: "1n
ancient Rome, during the period between
the years 200 and 300 A. D., the average
duration of life among the upper classes
was 80 years. In the present century,
among the same classes of people, it
amounts to so years. In the sixteenth
century the mean duration of life in
Geneva 21.21 years, between 1914 and 1888
it was 40.6S years, and at the present time
as many people live to 70 years of age as
800 years ago lived to the age of 43.

PREVENTIVE AGAINST MoTHs.-An En-
glish woman in Philadelphia publishes the
following in the Germantown Telegraph
A very pleasant perfume, and also preven-
tive against moths, may be made of the
following Ingredients: Take of cloves, car
raway seed, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon and
Tonquin beans, of each one ounce, then
add as much Florentine orris-root as will
equal the other ingredients put together.
Grind the whole we'll to powder, and put
it in little bags among your clothes, &c.
This will answer for furs also; but l never
tried anything more certain as protection
against moths in furs than to first shake
out or beat out every foreign substance
before putting away for the season. Then
wrap them up in perfectly sound news
paper. What l mean by sound is, that
there shall be no holes or breaks in the
paper. Make bag of the paper by past
ing; pack in and paste up the mouth Of the
bag. Put in drawer where it will not be
disturbed. If well done not moth will
ever be found inside. Try it.

B At large dinner party once, the
poet Rogers was speaking of the incenve-
nience of having windows formed of one
piece Of glass. "They look as if there
was no glass;" he said. GA short time
ago, as l sat at the table with my back to
one of these panes, it appeared to me that
the window was open; and such was the
force of imagination, that I actually took
cold" "Dear me-" said Mr.. Babbage,
who sat opposite, chow odd it is, Mr..
Rogers, that you and l should make such
very different use of the faculty of mag
ination. When l sleep unexpectedly away
from home, and consequently have no night
cap, should naturally catch cold. But,
by tying piece of packthread tightly
round my head, l 60 to sleep imagining
have night cap on, and catch no cold at
all"

GREATER THAN DANIEL.

CHILDISH PATH N A FLOCK OF woLvEs-A
STORY FOR CHILDREN.
The following incident, told in the Denver
News by its Plstteville correspondent nm
der date of November 20, 1876, discounts
"Daniel in the lions den !" both in the mat
ter Of peril and of trust in God by q large
per cent. The tortitude and faith of the
child are model examples for children OF
larger growth. The story is thus related
81 artled by the report that little girl, aged
about nine years, q twin daughter of Mr..
Sutherland, who recently moved into the
neighporhood, was lost on the plains. 1t
appears that the child accompanied her
father In search of cattle, and when
some calves, one of which had
bell attached to its neck. The cows
not being in sight, the father directed the
child to follow she calves, which he sup
posed would 60 directly home, while he
went In search OF the cows. It was then
80 P. NJ. At about O'Clock the father re-
turned home, and was alarmed to learn
that his little daughter had.not come in, but
was all the while supposed by its mother
TO be with the father. The alarm was given
to the people in the village and twenty
more persons went out aud secured the
country for six or eight hours in every di-
rection, but without success, though some

themselves been lost, did not reach homo

from every direction were on the hunt, and
in the most systematic M amer examined q
wide strip of country, from the Platte 10
near the Box Elder, and were still looking,
headed toward home, when q signal gun
was heard by which all knew the child had
been found. It appears the little one fol-
lowed the calves Tor time. but as they did
not go toward home, she became conscious
she was lost. At first she says she wandered
around; but, hearing the wolves growing
around her, she started in a straight course
| which took her to the Box Elder
and, without knowing what direction
she was taking, she followed the bee
| of the creek until daylight. At that time
she saw trees on the Platte, and started fol
them, arriving az the rancho of Mr.. Johr
