A short time since, Judge White and
a party of gentlemen in Leon and GadE-

of the party, in writing to the Sentinel,

He went to the box where the letters
were kept, and brought them to her in

She made no answer, but only tossed
the letters over in her lap, and said:

And as she spoke old Fairjohn, glanc-

saw it grow darker; saw it enter and,

recognized Job Roper.

He grew winter still.

But Jessie had torn open the letter and
never looked after him.
And these were the words she read,
old Fairjohn reading over her shoulder:
ABOARD THE SILVER STAR.-Jessie, dar-
ling: / don't know what makes me believe
that I shall find you mine still after all these
years, but something does.
Five of us were cast on a desert island

Overdressed schoolgirls.

An American family, in which were
several girls. came to live in this city
some time last year. The parents had
moved in good social circle, and had
been held in considerable esteem in the
town where they previously resided.
They were respectable but not rlcn;
When living comfortably, they refused
10 spend more than they could AFFORD TO
dress. In short tine the eldest GIRL
who was about thirteen or fourteen years
of age, and very anxious. to 60 on with
her education, became pupil at one OF
the public schools. She remained there
only few weeks, being fairly driven
away by the taunts and sneers which
were leveled at her on account OF her
homely apparel After short interval
she tried another school, but with the
same result She was avoided by the
other girls, treated with neglect and
superciliousneSs, and at last was Obliged
to leave. The consequence was that
neither she nor her sisters attended any
school, and thus for the sake of an une
seemly abuse, which 1t is the interest OF OF
everybody to put down, the educat1on 40, . oi
those children ceased.-Nea0 1ofb IanleS.

THE TWO SPIDERS

A FABLE
Two SPIDERS put their heads together,
One pleasant day in autumn weather,
A better method to devise
For catching bigger, fatter flies
Their mutual conference started thus:
Our house is much too small for us
And in neIghborhood poor and mean,
Where genteel flies are seldom seen.
From this degraded place let's move
And build better home above;
Pm weary of this kitchen jingle
And the poor crowd that with us mingc.
Now, you're spider big and bold
And Pm crafty one and old;
You are the one the web to spin,
III catch 'em, then, and take 'em in"
TO this plan they both agreed,
And fell to work with right, good speed
To pl,augc, tIer present habltation
a For genteel upstairs location;
But many Of their spider neghbors
Looked doubtfully upon their labors,
And said that much the better way,
In paying quarters, is to stay;
They always had enough to eat,
Although not fed on parlor meat.
Advice like this they couldn't brook it,
And so they decided they would hook it,
They searched aroup4ato find spot
And found first ratestornerlot,
A hundred inches square or more,
Three yards behind the parlor door,
Where fine, fat flies of high degree
Ought in all spiders minds, to be.
They wentto work in earnest dead,
ana lalu IHclr stakes ana WaAeu InelT
thread
TO spin yarn for web so stout
That catch em there should be no doubt.
It was q monster enterprise
To make net of such size
.ss For trapping many big-bug flies
TO be their own exclusive prize;
But then to cover all that ground
s. Required more yarn than they had wound,
And after toll a day or SO
Their further efforts wcrc-no go;
For all the yarn that they could spin
Was just sufficient to begin.
They gave it up in sad despair
1e*s And dropped their heads and went down.

While laughing sneers from base deriders
