| with rapine and slaughter. After long
time she began to get definite information,
ilshe learned the very station the troops &C.
|Icupied. With lighter heart, without one
doubt OF her lovers constancy, she sped
on, cheered by the hope of happy ending.
AS she drew near the station she heard the
crack of rifles in the woods and the fear
fnl yells of the savages. She had never.
looked upon a battle, and the horrible tales
of war and Indian cruelty which now
thronged her memory struck an over
Whelmlng terror to her heart. She turned
to flee; but socn her noble womanhood as
serted itself once more. Perhaps her loyer
was in the battle! Perhaps even now call
ing her name with his dying breath. She
turned again, and now flew toward the
noise OF the fight. Ere she reached the
spot all. was still; the battle was done.
But, still pressing on, she came suddenly
upon the scene, and her eyes fell at once
upon the body of an officer stretched across
the roots Of tree. She went to him with
trembling heart; she turned the face up
Ward-it was her lover A poisoned az
row was in his body. She drew it out, and
putting her lips to the wound, sucked the
poison and the blood. This she continued
till her knowledge of surgery, which she
had studied in England, assured her that
the poison Was wholly extracted. Then
she nursed him with skill and tenderness.
The officers gratitude was unspeakable;
but he had no suspicion of his faithful at
tenoant. She had previously dyed her skin
with lime and bark, and her disguise was
impenetrable. The station had been de-.
stroyed-there were no means of convey
ance, and the officer was yet too weak to
walk. For six weeks this brave woman
nursed the invalid, attending to his every
want, supplying his food from the catch
of her own hands. Six weeks IN the for
est, with only the shelter of, boughs which
her frail hands could erect They were
weary weeks to him, but to her they
brought the greatest joys of her young
life She still kept her secret from her
lover. AS he grew stronger he would often
talk of his past history, and finally told his
attendant the whole story of his unhappy
love. He charged his nurse to seek out
the lady, should he return to England, and
tell her of her lovers constancy to the last. |
Should death follow the wound, the nurse
was begged not to leave his body till he
delivered it into the loved ones arms |
What excess of joy filled the girls bosom
as she listened daily to such words as these. |
And God at last blessed her devotion and
her love. AS the Captain regalned strength |
they set out slowly for some settlement |
After few weeks they reached Philadel- |
phia. Then the nurse revealed herself to |
her lover, and an immediate marrige |
crowned a constancy and devotion unsur-
passed in the history of love.-Charles Il. |

For THE GIRLs.-Olive Logan writes:
sGirls, attend to your coiffure. No mat
ter how simple your dress is, look out for
your capillary adornments, and all will be
well. Avoid, if possible, all false hair about
the face. Corkscrew curls, ventilated
scratches, and bogus bangs look well
enough on the stage or under veil, but
they give age when the wearer is subject
to close inspection. A tiny little lock of
your own hair shipped off at the top of
your noses bridge, and rolled up in ring
with a hair pin at night. will make pretty
little curly fringe across your forehead in
the morning, and will never be noticed,
even if the fashion changes and you wish
to brush the short locks back with the rest.
Comb up the back hair as high as you can
without dragging your arms out of their
sockets; encircle the top of your Uranium
with a smoothly brushed and neatly plated
braid, and in the vacuumistic adherence
which this performance creates, stick a
high comb or a voluminous bow, and you
have a couture, which, if not so stunningly
dressy as some hair artist might build, is
still thoroughly lady-like, inevitably be-
coming, and indisputably CONNIE IL faut."

If we are frank and generous, the world
treats us kindly; if, on the contrary, we
are suspicious, men learn to be cold and
cautious toward us. Let a person get the
reputation of being ''touchy," and every.
body is under restraint, and in this way the
chances of an imaginary offence are vastly
increased.

How TO KEEP HOUSE ON A SMALL
SALARY.-We shall do our readers service
by copying the following from Scribner:
''After many years of married life pass
ed in comparative afiuence, reverses came,
and my husband was obliged to accept
situation in a large city with salary of
eight hundred dollars year. felt that
this could suffice for our maintenance only
by the exercise of the strictest economy.
A little over fifteen dollars week How
many times 1 divided that eight hundred
| by fiftv-two, and tried to make it come out
little more. Still determined to solve
the problem of the day-namely, whether
| QUE could keep house on a small salary, or
whether clearinghouse life was neces-
sity, as SO many clerks wives assert. We
had neither of us been accustomed to econ
omizing, and felt it was but just, if my
husband worked hard for his salary, that
[ should make it go as far as possible.
Thirty replies were received to our adver-
tisement for two unfinished rooms with
out board. In pleasant house and neigh
borhood found two adjoining rooms with
closets and water conveniences, for twelve
dollars per month. In one of them were
two deep south windows where I could
keep a few flowers in winter. I consulted
my husband and engaged them. We had
one hundred and seventy-fve dollars in
hand. With this we bought bright but
inexpensive carpets, a parlor cook stove,
an oiled walnut set of furniture, table,
a student lamp, a few dishes, and some
coal. With the few pictures. a pack of
books, and some. ornaments which we had,
we decked the rooms tastefully, and began
the serious business of keeping house on
$500 a year. From the first we decided to
have no accounts, but to pay cash for
everything we bought, and if we could not
afford an article we did without it. After
paying rent and washer woman, we had
fifty dollars a month left for other expenses.
Twenty dollars of this furnished us food
and paid our fare. 1 learned to love my
work. Strength came with each DAYS
labor, and renewed health repaid each eff
fort to make my little home pleasant and
restful to my husband. And how we did
enjoy that little home. When the stormy
nights came we drew our curtains, and
with high fire and the soft glow of our
lamp upon the crimson cloth, read mag
azine or an evening paper, forgetting in
our cozy home how many there were in
the great city who would call us poor We
always kept within my husbands salary,
wearing plain but good, respectable cloth
ing, and eating simple, substantial food.
And now that circumstances have improv-
ed and we are living in house all our own,
with servants and thousands instead OF
hundreds year, we look back to the years
spent in our simple, frugal little home and
know that it will always be the happiest
memory of our lives"

A HOUSEHOLD DRUDGE.-After ten
years of bitterly hard work, husband and
wife had good house and considerable
property. But the economical farmer had
formed the habit ofpinching, and still kept
it mp. The habit was formed, and it was
hard to him to. see the money 60 for trifes.
If ever his wife had dollar of her own, it
was owned by doing some extra work her.
self, like embarrassing, and papering
walls, instead Of hiring man to do it.
With all her multiplied cares, she did now,
as at first, her own washing and house.
cleaning, though often with as much
WEAKNESS and exhaustion as would make
her trembie for future health and life, even.
When sinking down to rest moment, in
the midst OF these labors, hard questions
would come up. Why did she work so?
How long could she endure it? What
would become of her poor children if she
wore herself out with this rough work?
and who would appreciate it? Then would
she resolve never to go into such work
again.-Still she did undertake it again
and again, because she wanted the money
so much, and if she saved it she might
have it, but she did not now always get it.
She was unwise, and she knew it herself.
While there is such a cry about the ex-
travagance of women, multitudes of them
are working and striving to save and ex-
hausting their own lives in so doing. The
husband did not intend to be unkind, but
he never thought of preventing his wife
from sacrificing herself. The real enslave-
ment of women-mothers of families-to
heavy ceaseless toll, is a great lowering
element gmong our rural population. A
woman Of ambition and INBRED refinement,
can not keep up always stepping on a
thread-wheel. She must feel, after awhile
that there is a bottom to her feet, that
some of the proceeds of her labor will come
unto her own hands during her own life
time, and help to make it easier and pleas
anter, or she will lose heart and become
that saddest of sights, broken-down
mother

FASHIONS FOR SPRING, 1876.

! Affections are cut close, are worn by old
and young, and are equally becoming to
all They are useful for everyday wear,
for hill-climbing and rock-scaling. They
come mostly in the old decided colors, and
are worn long or short to suit the taste or
/ convenience of the wearer.
/ Honor is beginning to be considered a
somewhat antiquated goods. Several large
houses are selling out below cost, prepare
tory to going out Of business, ''as there is
no profit in it,'' they say. Large stocks
have accumulated on their hands, as tl.ey
found few purchasers for even the finest
quality. Some apparently heavy dealers
have failed entirely, and closed up for want
of capital.
Generosity was much worn at the holt
day season. It is not imported goods, but
of home manufacture, and comes in all
prices and grades. 49,.
Intellect is much sought after at GER
tain shops, where it is supposed to be
found. A ssshoddy' article is often palmed
off upon shoppers, a quality with q cotton
back and satin figure; but those really
DESTROYS of purchasing can always find d
genuine article, and it is within the means
of the poor.
Fraud, though not as popular as it was
last year, is occasionally worn as a neglige
by those retiring into bankruptcy, and at
the reception of creditors by their two per
cent. debtors.
There is another garment shown at the
openings which promises to be as great
favorite this Spring as ever. Its common
name is Love. It comes in suits, prices
ranging from one hundred to many thou
sand dollars per suit. 1t is made to order
when desired. Sometimes much profit is
realized on the sales. Many who have pur-
chased say that 1t can be turned and made
over for another season. There is much
counterfeit in the market. 1t requires
practlced eye to detect the false. Only the
real will wear; the frail imitation soon
gets shabby by dust and friction. I am
told that some of. our leading fashionables
invest in the cheap material, and trimmed
up nicely it is thought to look as well as
the genuine.
Policy is one of the most popular over
garments of the season It seems to be
worn by all ages and classes. It is consid-
cred the correct thing for court, business,
or society. Some skill is required in wear
ing it, so that the lining, which is often of
different texture, shall not show. Those
designed for ladies are often trimmed with
a boWllderinp combination of n1ffs and
folds; those for gentlemen are ornamented
with red tape.
Orthodoxy is not so high or straight as in
former seasons, nor buttoned so closely.
Heresy is very popular, especially when
worn with white neckties.
Creeds are not so much imported as at
one time, but are homemade, which causes
great variety. Bric-a- Brae;;" Scribner
