How TO win Him.

ELIZA said fond mother to her OF
spring, recently, as that offspring was
about going forth in tow of a young man
who worships the very sidewalk she
walks upon, Ego to the bread-box and eat
a good big crust Of bread before you go
out
why, maw," replied the blushing girl
II don't feel the least bit hungry. We've
only just had tea,'
Il know it; but you will be hungry be-
fore you get back; and when Adolphus
takes you into a restaurant you'll eat ice
cream, and sponge-cake, and ham sand
witches and oysters enough to scare him
out of years growth. You silly girls
don't think of this; but we expert
enced women do. was once young and
giddy myself, and but for sixty-fiye cents
worth of maccaroons, cake for which |
have ever since entertained the most
profound contempt, your paw would have
been Congressman, with an acquiline
nose and Hyperion curls. Beware how
you sit down on the budding flame of
Cupid. Of'course, Adoiphus will spend
the money you save him on billiards and
things, but that makes no difference.
When he asks you 10 go in and have
some oysters, even if you are hungry,
don't. Say you do not approve of girls
wasting money OF their future husbands
on trifles, that might be applied toward
furnishing a house. Point out that for
the cost of an oyster-stew you might pur-
chase couple of towels, now that towel
ing is so cheap, and that a Saddle Rock
roast is the equivalent of silver fork,
plated, of course, but not easily distin-
guished from solid silver, or glass SUI
gar-bowl. This always takes the young
men; it sets them to thinking of house
keeping and matrimony; it makes them
believe that you are the incarnation of
economy, and would make an excellent
wife; and so they often say things which
give hold over them, or are effective be-
fore a jury"
Eliza treasured up these sagacious
counsels, and acted upon them with such
earnestness and effect that when she
came home she was an engaged woman.

A Touching Letter.

Everybody knows the story of the lit
tie girl who, wishing to ask something
of Heaven, wrote letter to God, which
she put into the hands of the Virgin S
statue in the parish church
A circumstance nearly analogous has just
taken place near Marchiennes, in Bel
GUM. A girl named Blanche was in the
service of Monsieur and Madame c., who
were much attached to her on account OF
her fidelity and piety. Some days age
Madame G. fell ill and died very sudden
ly.
The day after her death, Blanche prof
ting when the corpse, already prepared
for the grave, was alone, made her way
into the chamber of death, lifted the
shroud and then retired precipitately.
Those who saw her suspected she might
have been trying to pilfer the jewelry OF
the corpse. Search was made and moth
ing was found missing, but there was q
letter in the dead woman's hand. This
being opened, was discovered to be a let
ter from Blanche to her mother, dead a
long time before. 1t was as follows:
my DEAR AND Coop MOTHER: This
is to let you know that M. r. has asked
me to marry him; as you are no longer
here, beg you will let me know in q
dream, if / ought to marry him, and tc
give me your consent. In order to com
municate with you profit by the occa
sion of Nine. c., who is going to Heaven
This letter, which bore the superscrip
ton, "To my mother Josephine, who il
in Heaven" is truly poem of ingenious
lpiety.-BaItim0re Bulletin.

An Indians Revenge.

An Indian prides himself upon taking
good or i'll in the quietest of ways, and
from tale told in Mr. Marshall's Cana
dian Dominion, his civilized half brother
would seem to be equally Unconditional.
Thanks mainly to certain Metis or half
breed in the service OF the Hudson Bay
Company, Sioux warrior was found
guilty of stealing a horse, and condemn-
ed to pay the animals value by install
ments at one of the company's forts. On
paying the last instalment he received
his quittance from the man who had
brought him to justice, and left the office
A few moments latter the Sioux returned,
advanced on his noisless moccasins with
in pace of the writing table, and level
ed bis musket full at the half-breed's
head Just as the trigger was pulled the
Metis raised the hand with which he was
writing and touched lightly the muzzle
of the gun; the shot passed over his
head, hit his hair was singed off in a
broad ass The smoke clearing away,
the I an was amazed to see that his
ener till lived.
7 rher looked him full in the eyes
ior slant, and quietly resumed his
WI. The Indian silently departed
unp' ued, those who would have given
hiM chase being stopped by the half
breed with, ''Go back to your dinner, and
leave the affair to me-"
When evening came, few whites,
curious to see how the matter would end.
accompanied the Metis to the Sioux en-
campment At certain distance he made
them wait, and advanced alone to the
Indian tents. Before one of these sat
crouched the batfied savage, singing his
own death-hymn to the tom-tom. He
complained that he must now say good
by to his wife and child, to the sunlight.
to the gun, and the chase. He told his
friends in the spirit land to expect him
that night, when he would bring them all
the news of their tribe. He swung his
body backwards and forwards as he
chanted his strange song, but never once
looked up-not even when his foe spurned
him with his foot. He only sang on, and
awaited his fate. The half breed bent
his head and spat down on the crouching
Sioux, and turned leisurely away a
crueller revenge than if he had shot him
dead.

Where to Sell Good Butter.

In talking with a person who had been
a grocer, we heard the following remark
in answer to the question. "Why do you
not make more difference in the price OF
butter taken in from the farmersl" We
cannot do it. twill not work. Nothing
will offend woman quicker than TO tell
her that her butter is not irst-class. II
we tell her the butter is poor, she will sell
it somewhere else, and she will trade
where she sells her produce. To keep
her trade, l must buy her butter. So it
is often customary to pay about the same
price for all grades of butter offered in
small lots. We make on the best lots
and lose on the poorest. We come
ont about even. satisfy all parties, and
get the custom of those who sell butter
which IS good OF poor" The better way
for thoss who make the best butter
is to find some regular customers aud sup
rlv them from week to week, throughout
the wear. IN this way, the producer gets
better prices and avoids the close shave

WHEN You WERE SEVENTEEN

| When the hay was mown, Maggie,
In the years long ago,
And while the western sky was rich
With sunsets rosy glow,
Then hand in hand close linked we passed
The dewy ricks between,
And ! was one-and-twenty, Mag
And you were seventeen.
Your voice was low and sweet, Maggie;
Your wayy hair was brown;
Your cheek was like the wild red rose
That showered its petals down;
Your eyes were like the blue speedwell
With dewy moisture sheen,
When was one-and-twenty Mag,
And you were seventeen.
The spring was in our hearts, Maggie,
And all its hopes were ours;
And we were children in the fields,
Among the opening flowers.
Ayi Life was like summer day
Amid the woodland green,
For | was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
The years have come and gone, Maggie,
With sunshine and with shade,
And silyered is the silken hair
That DER your shoulders strayed
In many soft and hayward tress-
The fairest ever seen
When / was one-and twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
Though gently changing, Time, Maggie,
Has touched you in his flight;
Your voice has still the old sweet tone,
Your eyes the old loye-light;
And years can never never change
The heart you gave, ween,
When l was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And YOU were seventeen.

Honesty Rewarded,


George and Harry worked in the same
shop; but as the working season was al
most over, and there would be little work
to do during the summer months, theil
employer informed them, as they settled
UP on Saturday evening, that he could
only give one of them work hereafter. He
was very sorry, he said; but it was the
best he could do. He told them both tc
come back on Monday morning, and that
he would then decide on the one he
wished to retain. So the young men re-
turned to their boarding house a good
deal cast down; for work was scarce
neither knew where he could obtain q
situation if he was the one to leave.
That evening as they counted over their
weeks wages, Harry said to his friend
''Mr. Wilson has paid me quarter ola
dollar too much"
so he has me-" said George, as he
looked at mis-
How could he have made the mis-
take2" said Harry.
''Oh, he was very busy when six O'Clock
came; and, handling so much money, he
was careless when he came to pay our
tritie," said George, as he stuffed his into
his pocketbook.
"Well," said Harry, II am going to
stop as ] go to the posteffice and hand il
to him."
"You are wonderful particular about a
quarter, said George, what does he care
for that trifle2 Why, he would not come
to the door for it il he knew what you
vented; and am sure you worked hard
enough to earn it,
But Harry called, and handed his en-
ployer the money, who thanked him for
returning it, and went in the house. Mr.
Wilson had paid each of them quarter
more than their wages on purpose to test
their honesty.
SO when Monday morning came, he
seemed to have no difficulty in determin
ing which one he would keep. He chose
Harry, and entrusted the shop to his care
for several months when he was away on
business, ard was so we'll pleased with
his management, that, when work COM
menced in the fall he gave him the po-
sition of superintendent. Five years af-
terward Harry was Mr.. Wilson's partner,
and George worked in the same shop
again, but as a common laborer.

ABANDONED AT SEA.

AT all times ships OF one kind Or another are
floating about at sea, abandoned by officers
and crew, in what seems a hopeless condition
Some are dismantled and mere hulks some
are swimming kell upwards, some are water
logged, but being laden with timber will not
sink, but are driven hither and thither as the
wind and waves may direct. So people afliict-
