ROMA ANCEAND THE WEA TIER

Tho great wave rolling over us from
the home of the frost king brings with
it suggestion. Those taking the
trouble to do so, have observed that
the poets and novclists almost invaria-
bly, have their heroes and heroincs make
love in summer. And there is philoso-
ply beneath the TACT. A love scene is
never complete except when set off by
the beauty of the world in bloom.
Love, as It appears in letters, is essen
tally a tropic passion. The institu-
ton of chivalry, whose inspiration was
love, flourished only inSouthrn climes.
The dramatic iervor Of knight and
lady had its origin in hot blood. PET
RARcH's passion for LAURA came from
glowing Italian skies. More than this,
the pretty traits of woman and the
generous traits of man are best reveal
cd under the soft clouds of the grow
inv season. Nothing in tho common
flow of life puts character to q severer
test than the weather. Sclfishness,
meanncss, weakness, slovenlness-all
the disagrceable features Of character
which have come down TO us from our
savage ancestors are put in play by the
chill Of winter. An ardent lover hap
pens on his sweetheart rs shc walks
out at early sunrise Of q July morning,
her slippered feet welcomed by the
springing grass of the lawn, her rosy
cheeks kissed by the warm wind az II
toys with her tresses, and his happi'
moss is supreme. He happens on her
again at q similar hour on a morning
like that of last Friday, for instance, as
she comes down stairs with her shoes
united, her hair done up in q wad
about as big as biscuit, with shaw
over her shoulders, which are noticea
bly, humpcdo on tho occasion, and watch
es her push the other aside TO get the
best chance at the FIRE, though they
may need il most, and his illusion i
clean gone. Taken all In all romantic
courtship does not thrive in weather
like this. But II man wants 10 know
i the bottom Of woman's character ai
to ncatness and considcratencss ant
those other qualities which go to maxi
up the mental and moral furnishing 0
such an one as be wants for his wife
let him bo grateful for this weather q
} for o rod.send. This is his opportunl
ty. And II Is only fair TO say the sam
J 10 the woman who expects tho grea
question Of her life. A man who keep

Among the pleasant things of the
holiday season, was a Christmas tree
in Centre School-house, two miles
above this place. Numerous and bean
tlful were the presents given by the
parents to the children Of the school.
Speeches were made, and good time
generally INDUCED in. A very hand
some present was given the teacher,
Mr. W. c. Pentz, by the pupils of the
school. The presentation speech was
beautifully composed, and expressed
the sentiments Of oil the school. Mr.
Pentz, it seems, by his untiring energy
and uniform kindness, has won a place
in the affections of the scholars and
patrons of Centre school.

htiA NOuhNt'
There is excellent good sense in the
following paragraph "rhe great end
of education is not information, but
personal vigor and character. What
makes the practical man is not the
well.iniormed man, but the alert dis
ciplincd, selfcommandcd man. There
have been highly trained and accom-
plished men in the days when q knowl
edge of geography hardly went be
yond the islands and mainland Of thu
Levant. There were powerful Englisf
writers long before Lindley Murray
wrote his Latinzed English grammar
What should be understood thorough
ly is that examining is not education
II is mistake to cover too mncl
ground, and too seek TO make you'll
conversant simply with the larges
number Of studies. Let the persona
influence Of the teacher be relied upoI
rather than books and elaborate meth
ods."

Canada Bill was tho prince of three card
monte players, and his great boast was that
he had beaten minister. Chicago news
paper reporters Of the year 1874 remember
the Excitement the city editors of the pa
pers there, except one, were thrown into by
the exclusive publication by that one Of tho
story Of well-known minister who became
a victim to "Canada Bill's' wiles on q train
on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
railroad. IIe had lost nearly thousand
dollars. Canada Bill did not bear the repu-
tation Of having been the most expert dealer
but he did that Of having been the most
skillful operator, In the slang of tho pro-
fession, she could ring In suckers better
than anybody, and here ls a sample Of his
proceedings that came under the observation

A Brace OF Heroes,

Hector Blancfoic and Leonidas IIornnint
militia colonels both, were the two bravest
men in Chincapin-at least we had their
several words for it,
The Blancfoics, so their latest scion told
us, had fought under Charlemagnc--the
last fighting, Ned Preston used to say with
a wink, any of them had been known to
do. AS for the Hornflints, their family
prowess dated so far back that it was lost
III the midnight of time.
When COL Blancfoic paraded at the head
of his men on training day, there was somc-
thing 80 fierce and terrible in his ASPECT
that Mars himself would have passed for a
Hicksite Quaker by the side Of him; and
still f1erccr and more terrible, if possible,
looked Col. Hornflint, his military rival
Nor was it alone on tho Sibley-tentcd
field that the two chieftains were rivals.
Both aspired to the hand of Lucy Hunter,
Squire Hunters pretty daughter, the hand
soonest girl, and the best match in the
county.
The squire was pioneer settler who had
grown up with the country, and was now
in the decline of lfo, rich and well to do.
Hc had fought the Indians in his youth,
and the British in 1912, and if there was

coward.
An out-and-out honest man himself, it
was past his comprehension that any one
should set up title to courage based on
false prctenses, Accordingly he took the
two colonels at their own estimate, firmly
believing that both would cover themselves
with glory the first opportunity that Of
fercd. He would have been proud to ac-
cept either as son-in-law, but was sorely
puzzled to choose between them. Lucy
was equally at loss to tell which of the
two she despised the most. The truth is,
she wouldn't have given Ned Prcston's lit
tic finger for the pair of them. r,aa,.
1t was not In two such fiery natures long
to bear rivalry without chatting, or to chafc
in silence. They backbit each ,other furl-
ously, and Ned Preston took precious good
care that neither should remain in ignor-
ance Of the objurgations Of the other.
Their feelings were intcnsified when they
became rivals, not alone In war and love,
but in politics AS opposing candidates for
Congress their bitterness knew mo bounds
From abuse they came to thfeats--behind
each others backs, of course, but none tho
less truculent on that account. The town
was IN a state Of feveriah exc element on
the very tiptoe Of direful expectatio ion--
while shroude, the undertaken, scented a

Tho CtilizatIon of Weeds,

Ralph Waldo Emerson has described
weeds as plants whose use has not been
discovered. TOO often men arc con-
tent to call plant weed, md then
proceed to extcrminate It without
making any attempt to find out its pos
slblc uses. An Indian writer, Mr..
George w. Strettell, considers from his
experience gained in the Indian forests
department that a large revenue might
be derived from such plants, especially
those yielding flbrc-plnnts which re-
quire care in cultivation, which grow
In land utterly unsuited to any other
crops, and which yield fibre practical
