Summer Separation.

June is the month of love and Joy,
and August that of It's agony. In
June two hearts knit together as
one. In August two bodies separ-
ate. She goes away to see her
mothers aunt in the country, and
he stays at home, working the tread
mill Of duty. This comes hard on
all men, but its weight is the heavi-
est on the grocery clerk. His heart
is not in his work. How can it be?
Where the treasure is there will the
heart be also, and the treasure is far
away. He cannot smile on the Gus
toners. He cannot counterfeit sue
cessfully that expression of all-ab-
sorbing interest which makes a
clerkship thing of beauty. Ger
talnly his is a most critical task.
The variety and diversity of the
articles i'll which he deals require
that be should keep his wits about
him. In this particular he is in al
most as much danger as the drug
clerk, while the opportunities for
slipping are a hundred-fold. A
Danbury man who went to a drug
store to have a prescription prepared
seeing nobody but a clerk present,
said:
Young man, are you keeping
company with a girl?''
''Ge., ST." answered the clerk,
with blush.
"Du YOU think the world of her?"
81 de-, said the clerk firmly, al
though hluShing considerably.
"iS she III town." pursued the Gus
toner.
NO, sir she is away on a visit"
"Hhat will do" said the man de- |
cisively. "You can't fool around |
any prescription for me-" And he |
went away.
But it is the grocery clerk who
has to struggle from early morn till
late at night with flood of annoy
ances. When he dips into the su-
gar barrel he thinks of her lips and
sighs. In cutting the cheese he is
of the strength of his de-
votion to her, and when he looks iu-
to the butter frkin his thoughts
suay to her hair When he would
go away by himself and give express
sion { tJ his emotions he is obliged to
help lift barrel Of corned beef, or
roll a cask of salt, or open a cask of
Iard. Iii only when he is dealing

George Case, a constable, a few

at work on he farm, aud the mother

\ pet cat was between the child and
the snake and was using al its
strength by rubbing against it to
keep it out of danger. 1t is the
opinion of the parents that they are
indebted to the cat for their child's
life. The mother seized the child
and placed it in the middle of the
highest bed in the house; then she,
all unmindful that she had laid off
her shoes, seized kettle of hot wa
te; aud commenced pouring it upon

lunge to bite, when she screamed,
dropped the kettle and ran. BY this
time Mr.. c., who had been called,
got to the house. By tearing up
the floor he succeeded in pushing
the snake out with a pitchfork. His
snakeship was found in a very de-
moralized condition, being half cook
and entirely blinded by the hot wa
ter, trying to bite with mouth all
knocked askew by the falling kettle.
After he was despatched and the rat
ties secured they were found to
number seventeen, and some of
them gone at that, showing him to
be old enough to vote.

Miss CoriSande was born only two
years earlier than her brother Tom.
When Tom was ten years old she
glOried because she was twelve.
When Tom was known to be four
teen she confessed to be sweet six
teen. When Tom proudly boasted to
be eighteen, she timidly acknowl-
edged herself past nineteen. When
he came from college with a mus
tasche and a vote, aud had a party in
honor of his tweuty-frst birthday,
she said to her friends, What boy
ish fellow he is; who would think
he is only year younger than i?
And When Tom declared that he
was twenty-five years, and old
enough to get married, she said to
gentleman friend, Do you know l
feel savagely jealous to think of
Tom getting married. But then 1
suppose twins are always more at
tached to each other than other
brothers and sisters. And two years
later, at Toms wedding, she said
with girlish vivacIty to the wedding
guests, Dear old Tom, to see him
married tonight; and then think
how, when he was only five years
old, they brought him to see me, his
baby sister; | wonder if he thinks
of it tonight You have met Miss

Inc moment girl has secrets
from her mother, or has \ letter
she dare not let her mother read, or
has friend of whom her mother
does not know, she is in DANGER. A
secret is not a good thing for a girl
to have. The fewer secrets that lie
IN the hearts of women at any age,
the better. 1t is almost a test of pu-
rity. She who has none of her own
is best and happieSt. In girlhood,
hide nothing from your mother; do
nothing that, if discovered bv your
father, would make you blush. Have
no mysteries whatever. Tell those
who are about you where you go
and what you do. Those who have
the right to know, l mean of course.
The girl who frankly says to her
mother, 81 have been there; | met
so aud so; such aud such remarks
were made, and this or that was
done" will be certain of receiving
good advice and sympathy. If all
was right no fault will be found. If
the mother knows, out of greater ex-
perience, that something was improp-
er or unsuitable, she will, if she is
good mother, kindly advise against
its repitition. 1t is when mothers
discover that their girls are hiding
things from them that they rebuke
or scold. Innocent faults are always
pardoned by kind parent. You
may not know, girls, just what is
right, just what is wrong, yet. You
can b" blame for making little mis-
takes; but you will never do any
thing wrong if, from the first, YOU
have no secrets from your mother.

Liquor dealers take high ground.
A keeper of large saloon in New
York city said to reporter the 9TH
er day, that the dealers in that city
did not intend tamely to submit to
a destruction of their business. 1t
did not seem to occur to this indig
nant saloon keeper that his business
resulted in a uery serious destruction
to life and property that others were
not disposed to submit to tamely. He
went on to say that he and his
friends had been subjected to numer-
Gus petty annoyances from temper
ance people. The rest of us have
something TO say about the petty
annoyances that we are subjected to
from the saloon keeper and his
friends. Liquor dealers are not the
only class of human beings who have
rights.

Some Russians lately found in ST.
IBERIA another elephant, perfectly
preserved in ice; they were able to
eat its flesh. NJ. Bavle, in anDonnc-
ing this fact to the Geological Soci-
ETY. of France, said that it did not
prove that elephants had lived in tbe
country, but that, in time of great
cataclysm, their bodies may have
been transported hy a very strong
current from the Himalayas on to
Siberia, where they were stopped by
the ice; and the time necessary for
such transport is much less than
would be generally Supposed. The
elephants, very numerous at that
epoch, had not been Mi carried to 81
IBERIA, many had been stopped en-
route, and nothing had been left of
them but their bones and tusks; it
was the latter that had been long
used by the Chinese Tor their works
of cut ivory. With regard to the
cataclysm carrying elephants to
northern regions, Count Hugo has
pointed out that every year English
and American fisherman have
brought up elephants tusks in their
net. The number of these got an
nually may be estimated without ex-
at about thousand.

Bank of louisiana: In this case
Judgment has been rendered in favor
of the express company against the
bank for SI2, 500 and for costs. This
was a suit to collect express charges

The bank contended it had a right
to value its money packages the
same AS other packages. The ex-

ter and spirit of the contract, as well
as universal custom now having the
force of law, required full and true
statement of contents of money

in the face OF this we have the high prices

"In no instance has the authority aud pow

in every instance the people preserved the

authorities declared themselves powerless
to suppress, and if the greatest dist urbance

was out of the state, had been Of political

Sunday Law.

The Massachusetts supreme court sus-
tains the decision of the lower court that
Israelites are amenablc to the law regulat-
ing the observance of Sunday. The argu-
ment doubtless is that, while the law rec
ognizes no sect, but seeks TO protect all
alike, still its purpose is to give the largest
justice to the largest number. Hence,
when the majority OF our people observes
Sunday as II Sabbath, it must not be dis
turbed by minority which observes some
Other day, Any ether Interpretation of the
law than this would open up an endless
controversy.
