Gertie.

Boys of ten or twelve, seen on the
street, appear heartless and without
sympathy, and yet you wrong them.
Among the houses on Clinton street is
one which has missed many pane of
glass in its windows. Rags and papers
are used to keep the cold air out, or it
may blow in and whistle through the
desolate rooms without let or hindrance.
A girl of ten, whose life had been one
long period of hunger, pain, and unhap-
piness, was taken sick one day in March.
and people passing by could see her ly-
ing on a miserable bed near one of the
windows. 1t was curious that any of
the boys coming or going should have
stopped to think or care about it, but
they did. One of them, feeling sad at
sight of the sufferers pale face, handed
an orange through a broken pane, saw
it clasped by slender white fingers, and
then ran away. He had told other boys,
and by and by there wasn't day that
some lad didn't halt at the window to
pass in fruit or flowers. None of them
knew the family or ever spoke to the
girl, and so they gave her the name of
| Gertie and called her their orphan.
Boys went without marbles, and the
other things that belonged to bOyhOOd
sports, that their pennies might buy an
orange, lemon, or some simple flower,
! for Gertie, and their anxiety for her to
get well was fully as great as the doc
tors or mothers. Whatever present
they had, they handed it through the
broken pane, waited for her to reach up,
and never fingered longer than to hear
a soft "thank you" from her lips. Days
went by, but the boys did not grow
weary, nor did they miss day. 1t was
romance and charity so well combined
that it gladdened their hearts and made
them fond of each other. Yesterday
morning a lads hand, holding a sweet
flower and big orange, went to the
window. No white fingers touched his
as they grasped the offering. He waited
a moment, and then with beating heart
looked through into the room. The bed
had been taken away. On a table
rested a pine coffin, aud on the coffin
was bunch of faded flowers which had
been handed through the window the
|. day before. Death had been there, anC
the boys no longer had mission.
You might not have seen the boy hid,
ing in the doorway and wiping tear:
!. from his eyes. He was seen, however
and when asked the cause of his sorrow
, he sObbed out the whole sad romance il

Senatorial Chairs and their Histories

Many of the seats occupied by grave
United States Senators have an interest
ing history which is known by but few,
and to none better than the veteran
Captain Isaac Bassett, assistant door
keeper of the Senate, aud one of the
most valuable employees of that body,
who has seen forty-iive years of service
in his present position. He it is who,
with the aid of Assistant Sergeant-at-
Arms James l. Christy, keeps the pages
within the bounds of decOrum, and
whose further business it is to announce
message-bearers from the President and
the House of Representatives TO the
Senate. Captain Bassett, who is a gen.
eral favOrite with the Senators, retains
many cherished "reminiscences of great
men who have passed away, and who
formerly occupied seats in the Senate.
Among these are Daniel Webster, John
c. Calhoun, Henry Clay, Thomas Ben
ton, and Stephen A. Douglass. The
chairs and desks of these distinguished
men are still in use in the Senate, for il
| is notable fact that while the furniture
of the House of Representatives is fire.
quently changed, that of the Senate
with the exception of the carpet, re-
mains substantially as it was half cen
tury ago. 1t is true that when a new
State has been admitted, new chairs anC
desks have been made for the incoming
Senators, but they have been invariably
fashioned after the old model. Some o
the old chairs have also been re-uphOl
stored, but most of them have neve
been repaired, being apparently as gOoC
to-day as they were when first placed il
the chamber. The chairs and desks O
Cass, Calhoun, Webster, Clay, Douglass
and Benton, as has been stated, still re
main in the Senate chamber, and are il
daily use, but exactly which they are o
who occupies them at present, Captain
Bassett declines to tell, for the reasol
that if the fact was known, relic hunter
would soon mutilate them beyond recog
milton. Many of these chairs and desk
have been changed as regards location
but the Captain has made mental not
of every change, and could, if he de
! sired, point them out at once. 1t

A Duplicate" of Boorishness.

Brother Jones' son Diar had been out
to "the IllinOy," as his mother calls it,
and while there he married the pretty
daughter of good old Baptist deacon.
Diar came home during the holidays,
and has been visiting about ever since.
Our turn came, we being Baptist folks,
so they visited us and stayed two days
and two nights. She is a dear little
body, Diar's wife is, and we all liked her
very much.
But Diar! it does beat all how little
it takes to lift up some some people;
now, he taught school while he was
gone, and since then he can't talk much
else but "school, school," The deacon
and the girls and 1 were so amused at
him. We were looking at the sea-
shells, and the specimens of gold and
silver quartz that our brother brought
home from Nevada, two years ago, and
among other things was curious little
Indian Ratchet, very rare, of which Ida
said DIR. Henderson had duplicate.
"Oh, has he?h said Diar's wife, The
resa; and then, as soon as she thought
none of us saw her, she leaned over and
whispered: "Say, Diar, honey, tell me
what duplicate means"
He pursed out his fat, red mouth,
plucked vigorously at the yellow beard
that fringed it lavishly, and sticking his
nose up at an acute angle, spoke aloud /:
81 should think you'd be ashamed fur
to not know wat duplicut means; better
go to the dictionary with your little
questions" and he looked around and
laughed, as though he had spoken a
witty thing.
Not one of us even noticed him at all,
the ugly, unkind fellow, to try to hold
his bride up to Tidicule Lily saw the
flush of shame mantling the cheek oi

A Woman on Agricultural Employment
for Women.

The most of our race must expect to
remain in the ordinary avocations of
life and it would be very much better
were the majority of our people content
with their pursuits.
Although it will hardly comport with
the idea of prOpriely common even
among the wives and daughters of
Western New York farmers and Gran
gers, yet | will venture to call your at
tentiOn to certain branches of industry
in connection with agriculture, hOrtI-
culture, and kindred vOcations, which
are now followed with pleasure and
profit by some ladies in different sections
of our great country.
l have lately read of widow in Col
orado who, about seven years ago, had
only a tent to live in, with a young
daughter. Her sole earthly possessions
consisted of a very little furniture, to-
getber with two cows and two calves.
AS is usual in that region, the cost OF
keeping her stock was almost nothing.
She sold milk at the town close by, and
whenever she could spare few dollars,
she would buy an extra calf or yearling.
By patient continuance in this manner
she has prospered, and now owns cattle
by the hundreds, rides in her carriage,
has educated her daughter, and is worth
many thousands of dollars, all the prod
uct of her own eXertiOns.
Many others in various sections have
started with two or three swarms ol
bees, and by patient study, inquiry, and
observations coupled with industry,
they are now among the most success
ful producers of honey the country af-
fords. Could the two kinds of work
just mentioned be combined together
with the same good fortune, a land flow
ing with milk and honey might bC
found in the Western Hemisphere.
The raising of poultry and eggs fol
market purposes, if properly conducted
is often very profitable. Now, why il
this not also a branch of business pc
euliarly adapted to women? OF course
like everything else, it requires knowl
edge, tact, and time. Yet it has beer
well conducted by many, and can b,
done again by others, though the teach
ings of the old story are true, that it i
not safe to count chickens before the,
are hatched.
Then there are the small fruits
Surely if a woman wishes an avocatiOl
that will bring her health and wealth
both of these desirable objects are Ofte
found in this employment. The sam
may be said of gardening and variOu
other kinds of work connected with th
cultivation of the soil.
And one of the best features of al
these industries is, that when she wishe
to dispose of her products, nobody pay
her less for them because she is won
an. The proceeds of her labor amOuu
to precisely the same sum that would b
obtained by the lords of creation.
other words, here, and almost nowher
else, she receives equal compensatio
with man for doing the same work.

The Law Of NeMsnaners.

/. Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary are considered as wishing TO
continue their subscriptions.
2. If any subscribers order the discontinuance
of their newspapers, the publisher may con-
tinue to send them until all arrearages are
paid.
g. Ifsubscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the offices TO which they are
directed, the law holds them responsible until
they have settled the bills, and ordered them
discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places with
out informing the publisher, and the newspa-
pers are sent TO the former direction, they are
held responsible.
.. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers from the Office, or removing
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie
| evidence of intentional fraud.

WHEN SHE WILL MARRY HERBERT.
A beautiful and bashful young woman
of about nineteen summers called at the
office of life insurance agent last week
and asked:
"How long will a man of 81, and that
eats peas with his knife, live ?''
According to our table, madam"
replied the agent, che should, on the
average, survive II years, 3 months, and
l6 days"
"That," said his visitor, "would be
till the lst of August, 1887 ?"
Precisely, madam"
"And how much could / insure his
life for ?"
"Oh, for any amount, say for $50, ,OOO,"
he answered, taking up blank form of
application.
"WeIl," said the young woman, 81
think, then, I'll marry him."
"Insure him, you mean, ,"'replied the
agent.
mo, marry him; you insure him.
You see,n she added, with burst OF
confidence, 81 love Herbert, and Mr..
Dawkins is old enough to be my grand
father. But Herbert is poor, and Just
worship the corner lots that Mr.. Daw-
kins builds on. And Herbert is very
patient, and says that if will only fix
a day, no matter how long he may have
to wait, he will be happy: Now, you
say Mr. Dawkins will die by the 1st OF
August, 1887, and as it wouldn't be de-
cent to marry again till I've been year
in mourning, Pll arrange to marry Her
bert on the I'd of August, 1885,"

WHAT IS 1T TO LOVE.
BY CHARLES sEvANs.

Love? ? will tell thee what il is to love
II IS to build with human thought a shrine,
Where hope sits broOding like a beauteous
dove;
Where uine seems young-and life thing
divine.
All tastes, all pleasures, all desires combine
To cOnsecrate the sanctuary OF bliss
Above. the stars in shroudless beauty shine;
Around, the streams their howery margins
kiss
And if there's heaven on earth, THAT heaven is
surely this.
Yes, this is love-the steadfaSt and the true;
The immortal glory which hath never set;
the best, the brightest boon the heart eel
knew;
OF all life's sweets, the sweetest yeti
Oh, who can but recall the eve they met,
To breathe in some green walk their first young
vow,
While summer flowers with evening dews wer,
wet,
And winds sighed soft around the mountain'
brow,
And all was rapture then, which is but memor!
now.
