GROwLERs.-There is a class of men in
every community who 60 about with vine.
gar faces, because somebody feels above
them, or because they are not appreciated
as they ought to be; and who have a con.
slant quarrel with their destiny. These
men, usually, have made very grave mis-
take in the estimate of their abilities.
Wherever this faultfnding with ones con.
dtlon or position occurs there is aways a
want OF scf:respect. If people despise you,
do not tell it all over town. If you are
smart show it. Do something, and keep
doing.
Society never estimates man at what
he imagines himself to be- He must show
himself possessed of selfrespect, indepen.
deHce, energy to will and to do, and good
sound heart. These qualities and posses
'sions insure him position and respect

wide-spreading willow of the prairie home.
After settling with a responsible person to
take charge of the farm, t,ok my young
charge whom / had already learned II
love for her own sweet sake and start
ed forth to accomplish the journey that
bad been so strangely interrupted.
When returned to nv home in the east
] found that it would be quite necessary
for me tn have an establishment OF my
own. as had now the charge of three
little girls.
Little Edith, who was the Youngest of
my pets, | found crying on lonely road
without friend on whom she could call
for assistance. Her parents had both died
within few days and she had been left
to the care OF heartless woman, who had
brought her to this place and left her To
find home for herself. To leave poor
delicate child in this way was not to be
thought of. So | took her TO my own
heart and home. Louise French. aged
twelve years. was a pleasant companion
for my peer less Fanny. She was a daugb-
ter of another dear school companion
who babe me last goodbye during my
visit.
Each of these girls has her own espec
isl attractions, and what do for them is
a labor of love as well as duty. They are
not perfect, and like other children, have
their foi6les, and are trial OF patience AS
well as II source of pleasure.
Years are fastening onward, AMI find
by my girls increasing stature. both men
tally and physically, that ! am growing
old. But my heart acknowledges no
wrinkles of age. My cares are somewhat
numerous, and seldom see day of lux
urious ease. Yet know by the music of
laughter that bubbles up from snowy
throats, and the ripping merry songs that
come floating through the wide old hall,
and the patter of dancing feet that are
keeping time to pleasant thought. that
"Aunt Fanny" is not entirely useless. And
yet shall always look back with remorse
to those long years spent in slothtul idle
ness. To how many homes have car
ried comfort and happiness; and how
many hearts might have received kind
words OF sympathy; how mary unfoltu-
mates could have been clad in comforta-
BILE raiment. Then let me say to the gen.
tie reader: Let not the night come with
out accomplishing some good. Be useful
to-day and the glories OF heaven will be
near Chicago Ledger.

a Dog Detective.

\ well dressed young woman entered
a restaurant not far from the terminus
of the Orleans Railway, Paris, and told
the waiter to bring her in all haste a
basin of soup, as she was about to take
her departure Oh the next train. This
was Immediately done, and after hav-
ing eaten it and paid the waiter, she
was hurrying away, saying that she
should certainly be late, when she per-
ceived her passage barred by a large
dog, which refused to let her pass. She
attempted by caresses to put it aside,
but the animal held firm and opposed
her way.
Il shall certainly be late. ~ cried she.
"Do take away that horrible dog.'
The waiter and the master cried out.
"VidOcq, VIdOcq, give way, SIR" but
the dog never stirred.
One of the walters here whispered
something to the master, who coming
up to the yound woman, said:
eff my dog prevents you leaving the
premises the reason must be that you
have some of the property belonging to
the house about you. You had better
give it up at once and 90 your way"
The person thus addressed at first af-
fected great indignation at being so ac-
cused, but at last drew out a silver
spoon, which s,,e handed to the owner
of the restaurant. The dog then allowed
her to pass, and she was hurrying off
when she was seized by her mantlet
and forced to stop. This time it was by
a police agent, who had been on the
lookout for several persons suspected of
being concerned in robbery, and who,
it was thought, might attempt to get
off by the railway. She was arrested,
and on examination her mantlet was
found TO be furnished with immense
pockets for receiving pillered goods. 1t
is said that this i not the first time
that the dog, belonging to the restaur-
ant, has shown himself a faithful
guardian of his masters property.

sumter Evacuated.

The Confederate officers left the fort
without any formal leave-taking, and
their boat soon disappeared in the dark
ness. Upon their arrival in Charleston
and the delivery of Mayor Anderson's
response, a telegram was sent to Mont
gomery, informing the authorities that
Mayor Anderson "would not consent. J"
Inside the fort the men were in
formed of what had happened, and
directed to await the summons to the
guns. No fire was to be returned until
daylight. The night was calm and clear
and the sea was still. Fires were
lighted in all the Confederate works,
when, at 40 A. NJ, the silence was
broken by the discharge of a mortar
from a battery near Fort johnson.
within easy range of the work; shell,
rose high in the air and burst directly
over Fort Sumter; its echo died away
and all was still again; when suddenly
fire was opened from every battery of
the enemy. At daylight all the guns of
Fort Sumter opened, and the fire
steadily continued all day. During the
night of the 18th the accurate range of
the mortars lodged shell in the parade
or about the work at intervals of fifteen
minutes. 1t was estimated that over
2 900 shot and shell struck the fort
during the first twenty-four hours. By
faar 70
appeared off the bar, but did not enter.
At $50 on the 18th the quarters took
fire from the effect of hot shot and could
not be extinguished, and soon the entire
barracks were in blaze. The barrels
containing powder were thrown into
the sea. At l.20 on the 18th the flag
staff, having been struck four times,
was shot away and the flag replaced
upon the parapet. The firing upon the
work was severe and continued; the
return from the fort slow and feeble,
sounding like signals of distress to the
nation, and finally ceased altogether.
Seeing the condition of things, Colonel
Wigfall pushed out in an open boat from
Cummings Point, unauthorized it lis
true, and learning from Mayor Ander-
son that he would evacuate the fort
upon the terms originally proposed to
him, returned and communicated with
General Beauregard, who Immediately
sent commission authorized to arrange
terms for the evacuation, which were
soon agreed upon. The garrison was
transferred to the large transport lying
off the bar, and was soon on its way to
the North. Many an eye turned toward
the disappearing fort, and as it sank at
last upon the horizon the smoke-cloud
still hung heavily over its parapet.

Style in Weddings.

The English morning wedding,
which has of late been adopted by our
best society, and obtained such hold
as to wipe out the most cherished tra-
ditions, has met with set back in the
form of an opposition American cere-
mony employed by several old Knicker-
booker families in the arrangement of
recent nuptials. The English style. in
fact, has its disadvantages. In the first
place, the bridesmaids, often numerous
have no attendants, for there are no
groomsmen, and the possibilities of a
little Irritation and future acquaintance
growing out of the commingling of
white silk with kid gloves, cake and
orange blossoms are all lost. The
bridesmaid has nothing except a
bouquet or cheap lOcket to compensate
her for the trouble and expense of pre-
paration, and the evaporation of seeing
one of her friends petted and admired
as a bride, while she herself is left un-
noticed and uncared for. The no-cards-
and-no-cake also has difficulties. They
serve double purpose of explanation
and friendly attention to distant friends
and near acquaintance, which saves a
vast amount of trouble and heartburn
ing. Then the English costume not
only permits, but authorizes the bride
groom to wear an informal costume,
in striking contrast to the elaborate
dress of the bride, and which seems
neither respectful to her nor the gor-
geously arrayed friends who have been
invited to be present at the tying of the
nuptial knot. All these considerations
have finally arrayed themselves into
decided objections, and eliminated in a
revival, as before remarked, of the old
fashioned full-dress American cere-
mony. At such weddings the brides
maids are attended by an equal number
of groomsmen, all of whom, as well as
the groom, are attired in full evening
dress. The cake is restored to its proper
place of honor upon the well supplied
supper table, and the bride cuts the first
piece, according to ancient custom.
Wedding cake and wedding cards are
sent around to such friends and ac-
quaintances as are not present at the
wedding, which does not take place at
church in the morning, but at the home
of the bride in the evening, and Is
followed by the reception. 1t is optional
whether the bride and the groom start
on the same evening upon wedding
trip or remain at home for some days.
The latter is better, and more truly i'm
accordance with the old-fashioned ideas
for the bride is usually worn out with
fatigue and excitement, and in ne con-
dition to be hurried to a railway train
and made to encounter the discomforts
Of night travel.
