Ruth.

All, her face is very fair,
Snowy white and rosy red;
And the glorious. golden hair
Hovers, mist-like, round her head.
And her voice is soft and low,
Clear as music, and as sweet;
Hearing it, you hardly know
Where the sound and silence meet
All the magic, who can tell
Other laughter and her sighs;,
Or what heavenly meanings dwell
In her kind confiding eyes!
Pretty lips, as rubies bright,
Scarcely hide the tiny pearls;
Little, wandering stars OF light
Love to nestle in her curls.
All her ways are winning ways,
Full of tenderness and grace;
And a witching sweetness plays
Fondly Ger her gentle face.
True and pure her soul within
Breathing Gods serener air;
Evil, and the shame of sin,
. Cannot dwell a moment there.

ABOUT WOMEN OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
The man who meets and loves the woman
of twenty-five is truly fortunate. and she is
equally fortunate in meeting and loving
him, says a writer in a feminine journal. At
that age she seldom deceives. She may not
likely have then, her first sentimental ex-
perience at such an age is more than senti-
mental and rarely ever feeting. She looks
back at the youths she imagined she was
e~namoured Of between 16 or IS. or often %,
and they are more than indifferent or re
pellant to her-they are ridiculous; and In
some sort she, as she was then, is ridiculous to
herself. She cannot be grateful to her des-
tiny that her sympathies and affections have
been reserved for a worthy object and a
higher end. AT %, if ever, a woman
knows and estimates herself. She is less
liable to emotional or mental mistake, she
is far surer OF her future, because she feels
that her fate is, to a certain extent, within
her own hands. Not only is she lovelier
and more lovable, broader and stronger
than she has been, but her welded happi-
ness and powers of endurance are in a man.

His Recommend.

Some time ago Detroit merchant
was in want of clerk, and he adver-
tized the fact. Among the numerous
applicants who sent in recommendation
was a young man who had shortly be-
fore received letter from the old man
Blank, to the effect that any further
visits to his house on the part of the
young man, could not be permitted, and
that "Mary's" future husband was Sc
lected. In his haste and excitement he
forwarded this note in place of recon-
mendation from mercantile house, and
on discovering his mistake, he called
upon the merchant to secure the missive.
"Ah " said the merchant, as the young
man entered, "you can begin here to-
morrow. l was about to write letter
to you"
"That-that letter" began the
young man, but the merchant inter
rupted;
"Best recommend in the world: Old
Blank and | have been enemies for
forty-six years. Any one he is down on
| always employ, in order to aggravate
him. Come right along. I'll give you
position in the front of the store,
where the old curmudgeon must see you
every time he passes, and if you want to
make up faces at him, I'll pay all costs"
Thus we are able to furnish another
illustration, that sunshine may come out
of the depths of despair.-Detroit Free

Grew soon unmindful of his loss,
A hard indifference worse than hate

Too proud to mourn, too strong to die;
The wall pressed heavy on her heart,

Such walls are growing day by day,

Would they could know who lightly build
How sad and bitter is the end!
A careless word, an unkind thought,
A slight neglect, taunting tone,
Such things as these before we know
Have laid the wallis foundation stone.

Save the Pence

The use of small savings has not been
enough insisted upon. We have had
plenty of light on cooperation IN labor
and in expenditures, and there has Aoeen
no end to the wild schemes for making
men wealthy by short and easy meth
ods, as by redistribution of property,
the limitless manufacture OF paper
money, etc. But the slow, simple, old
fashioned plan for providing for to-mor-
rows contingencies by setting aside
portion of to-day's receipts has fallen
sadly into disuse. 1t is tedious business
and not at all in accord with the prevail
ing desire to get rich all of a sudden and
with trifing exertion. We are all tami-
lar with the calculation which shows
how much ten cents a day or twenty
cents a day laid aside or put out at in
terest will amount to, twenty, thirty or
forty years hence. But we smile at the
figures as a mere freak of enthusiasts,
and souander every day upon insignifi-
SAINT enjoyments or out of sheer care
lessness sums of money which, if saved,
would make the 'rainy day."
which lies somewhere in waiting
for most of us, good deal
brighter that it is likely to be otherwise.
1t is probable that the 'hard times"
from which we are emerging, have helped
to teach this lesson, and that more people
than formerly will be disposed to test the
utility of small savings, 1t is bad
enough, out Of an income of f20 to

Schliemann's Explorations,

DIR. Schliemann, writing from Troy,
Asia Minor, to friend in Indianapolis
says II think that there is no lady in
the world who could have made me so
happy as Mrs. Sophia Schliemann, whom
/ married ten years ago from pure affec'
tion, and because, though she then only
knew her native tongue, The modern
Greek, she showed a great enthusiasm
for Homer{and archaeology. Since that
time she has perfectly mastered all the
European languages, learned nearly all
the Homeric poems by heart, and con-
stantly assists me with fervent zeal in
nearly all my undertakings; nay, the
French edition Of my 'Mycena' is ded-
icated to her, and she fully deserves it.
You say my work has not been profit
able to me; but if, as you say, you
read my 'Mycene,' you ought to know
that work from pure love of science,
and that / gave away to the Greek
people the immense treasures found by
me and my wife at Mycen@. l..
Believe me, we have near ly all our
money in America, and if we buy n
home in Philadelphia, it is with the In
tention to remove thither sooner or later.
We spend the value of palaces in our
scientific explorations, but are content
and happy in modest little cottage"

Old Saws.

The most boastful Yankee (not that
Yankees are more boastful than other
people,, in some of the rooms of the
British Museum, is obliged to confess
that the ancients originated great many
good notions which we moderns have
only improved upon. For instance, there
are few tools more ancient than the saw
All the oncient nations appear to have
had it; certainly the Hindoos, the Egyp-
tians; the Greeks and the Romans The
saw may have existed even before there
were any men on the earth. There is a
creature called the saw.fy, with two
saws in its tail, which it actually uses
for saving the stems, leaves and fruits
wherein its eggs are to be deposited.
These is also sawfsh, the long snout
Of which is saw. 1t is said also that
the originsl inhabitants of the Island of
Madeira found ready. made saw in the
backbone of fish. The Greeks had
pretty story attributing the invention of
the saw to the accidental finding of the
jaw-bone of snake by one Talus, who
used it to cut through small piece Of
wood. Being slave, and finding that
this jaw-bone eased his labor, he made
saw of iron, and thus gave mankind
a new and most valuable tool. The an
cient saw differed from ours in two
ways The teeth were so arranged that
the cut was made by pulling, instead of
being set one to the right and one to the
left alternately, were set so that ten or
dozen in succession slanted one way,
and the same number the other way.
The ancients had several varieties of the
implement. The Greeks, for example,
had crosscut saws for two men; ; also saws
for cutting marble into slabs. And they
had a kind Of tubular saw for following
out marble bath-tub, similar in prinei,
pal to the method now employed. Among
the pictures uncovered in the buried city
of Herculaneum, there is a representa-
ton Of two genii saving a piece of wood
on carpenters bench, very much like
ours, and using a saw similar to those
now employed. Still more strange, the
frame-saw frightened with a rope and
stick, such as our street wood-sawyers
use, was probably as familiar to the
Romans as it is to us.

Comfort for Old Maids

O,i maids are useful. They can
cook. sew and take care Of the children,
nurse sick people, and generally the
riano. Old bachelors are Useless. They
DO not even know how to drive nails or
split wood.
Old maids are amiable II one
wants anything done that requires pa
thence and kindness of heart, single
lady is sure to be the one to do it.
Old bachelors are ill.natured. They
snub children, dcspisc babies, and hate
young mothers, and are always SO buslly
employed in seeing that other people
take good care of them that they have
not moment to give to anyone else.
Old maids are nice looking, and
"young for their years" Old bachelors
generally have red noses, rheumatism In
their knees, bald heads, and mouths that
turn down at the corners
Old maids can make home OF one
little room, and they cook delicious
meals for one over the gas jet, in cum
ming little. tin kettles, besides making all
their own wardrobes. Old bachelors
need an army of tailors, walters, cooks,
distant relatives, and hotel landlords, to
keep them comfortable. When old
maids are i'll they tie up their heads In
pocket handkerchiefs, take homeopathic
pellets out of two bottles, alternately,
and get well again When old bachel-
ors are i'll they 90 to bed and send for
four doctors have consultation a
mantlepiece full Of black bottles all the
amiable married men who belong to the
club to sit up with them at night, be-
sides hired nurse; they telegraph to
their relations and do their best to i'm
press the world that they are dying
When an old maid travels she takes a
sandwich, piece of pound cake, bot
tie of lemonade in q hand-basket, and
lunches comfortably in the carriage.
When an old bachelor travels he orders
dinner in courses at the station, and
raves because he has not time to eat it
before the 'fifteen minutes for refresh
ments" are over. .. ...
Old maids drink weak tea and it cures
their headaches
Old bachelors drink strong liquor and
it gives them headaches.
Old maids are modest. They think
their youth is over and their beauty
gone. If, after while, some autumnal
love is given them they take it as sort
Of miracle, and hope people will not
laugh at them for marrying so late in
kfe."-Ex.
