Old Maids.

IF we hnew the heart histories of many
old maids we should find them character.
lied by the purest pathos and lfe's most
elcvating discipline.
Often does a woman remain single be-
cause she is faithful to an idea. Perhaps
some happy dream of girlhood was broken
by death or estrangement-perhaps she
has never met the man who fully realized
her aspirations, and whom in perfect feal-
ty she could feel herself able to love, hon
or and obey. Whatever men may think
on the subject, that last word "obey" has
grave meaning to thoughtful women
who, conscious OF a "soul OF their own,"
are little terrified at all obedience may
involve.
Other women there are of gentle and
more yielding natures who have formed
an ideal which, in real life, is never ap-
proximately reached, though this class
only desires to find the idol worthy of
their alteration and obedience. At any rate
the woman who remains single rather
than make a "half-hearted" marriage is
worthy of all honor.

How 1t Was DOnS

Haverly, the theatrical manager, who
runs half dozen theatrical aud musical
companies successfully in different parts
of the country, replies to an inquiry as to
the secret Of his success:
"FirSt class attractions and publicity.
The public require to be told what you
have to give them. Advertise! advertise
is the keynote which has to be played
upon in every form" The veteran Bar
mum made substantially the same answer
to the inquiry. He attributes his success
in drawing crowds mainly to "printer's
ink" Itwas by ingenious advertising
that he worked up the Jenny Lind furor
to such a financial success. Of course
he provided genuine attraction, in the
first place, but it was requisite secondly
that he should make the public appreciate
that fact by the liberal use of printers
ink. The same fact is true in any bust
ness. First prepare to supply a good
article, and next let the public know the
fact through the agency of printers
ink.

Rules for Spelling "A Child.
Burlington Hawkeye.l

Begin young by giving him whatever
he cries for Talk freely before the child
about his sinartness as Incompatible. Tell
him he is too much for you, that you can
do nothing with him. Have divided coun-
sells as between father and mother. Let
him learn to regard his father as a crea-
ture of unlimited power; capricious and ty-
.annical or as a mere whipping machine.
Let him learn0rom his fathers eXample)
to despise his mother. Do not know or
care who his companions maybe. Let him
read whatever he likes. Let the child,
whether boy or girl, rove the streets in the
evenings-a good school for both sexes.
Devote yourself to making money, re-
membering always that wealth is better
legacy for your child than principles in the
heart ard habits in the life; and let him
have plenty of money to spend.
Be not with him in hours of recreation.
Strain at a gnat and swallow camel ;
chastise severely a (oible, and laugh at
vice. Let him run about from church to
church Electicism in religion is the order
of the day. Whatever burdens OF virtuous
requirements you lay on his shoulders,
touch not one with one of your fingers.
These rules are not untried Many pa
rents have proved them with substantial
results Ifa faithful observance of them
does not spoil your child, you will at least
have the comfortable reflection that you
have done what you could.

David Crockett once visited a menagerie
at Washington, and pausing moment be-
fore particularly hideous monkey, ex-
claimed: :"What resemblance to the Hon
orable Mr. X w The words were scarcely
spoken when he turned and, to his great
astonishment, he saw standing at his side
the very man whom he had complimented.
II beg your pardon" said the gallant colo
mel; "l would not have made the remark

ready to make the most humble apology
for my objectionable rudeness; but"-look

MANS AGE.

Few men die of old age. Almost all die
of disappointment, passion, mental or bod
ily toll, or accident. Passion kills men
some times, even suddenly. The common
expression, choked with passion, has little
exageration in il; for even though not sud
denly fatal, strong passions shorten life.
Strong bodied men often die young; ;
weak men live longer than the strong, for
the strong use their strength and the weak
have none to use. The latter take care OF
themselves, the former do not. As it is
with the body, SO it is with the mind anG
temper
The strong are apt to break, or like the
candle, to run out; the weak burn out The
inferior animals, which live, in general,
regular and temperate lives, have generally
their prescribed number of years. The
horse lives twenty five years; the OK fifteen
or twenty the lion about twenty; the dog
ten or twelve; the rabbit eight; the Guinea
pig six or seven years.
These numbers all bear similar pro.
portion to the time the animal takes to
grow its full size. But man, of the ami
mails, is one that seldom comes up to this
average. He ought to live a hundred
years, according to this physiological law
as five times twenty are one hundred; but
instead of that he scarcely reaches, on the
average, four times his growing period; the
cat six times,and the rabbit eight times this
standard of measurement. The reason is
obvious-man is not only the most irregu.
lar and the most intemperate, but the most
laborious and hard working of all animals
and there is reason to believe, though we
cannot tell what an animal secretly feels
that more than any other animal man
cherishes wrath to keep warm, and con.
sumes himself with the fire Of his own Sc
cret reflections

Presidential Nicknames.
[Cln, Saturday Night.l


When man is put on the track for
President it seems necessary that some fa-
miliar appellation or nickname be attach
ed to him. Washington was altogether too
dignified character to be trif1ed with, so
he was respectfully alluded to in his day as
"the Father Of his Country" A man who
had fippantly alluded to him the as
daddy Of his country" would probably
have been mobbed.
Jackson's appellation, "Old Hickory"
probably had a good deal to do with his
elevation to the Presidency, while Van Bu-
ren's title, "the Fox OF Kinderhook," while
it didn't keep him out OF the presidential
chair once, might have had something to
do with defeating him in 1913.
"Rough and Ready" was a successful
battle cry that year and elected Gen Tay-
lor.
"Fuss and Feathers" wasn't entirely in
appropriate for Gen. Scott, and ma jorty
of the voters discarded him.
Douglass found strength in the title, "Lit.
tie Giant" though it proved insufficient to
Withstand the sturdy blows of "the Rail
splitter"
Since Lincoln's day we have not had a
presidential candidate with a distinctive
nickname.

Points In Etiquette.

Letters should never be crossed
Anonymous letters are beneath notice.
Letters of introduction should be brief.
"Yours, &c" is a rude ending to letter.
Never wait over fifteen minutes for a
tardy guest.
Say "Good-bye" and not GOOD morn
ing"
Upon introduction at once enter into
conversation.
Upon leaving room one bow should
include all.
A call should not be less than fifteen
minutes in length.
A note requires as prompt an answer
as spoken question.
Regrets in reply to invitations should
contain the reason therefor.
At table you are not required to thank
the one who waits upon you.
"Yours truly" is the correct form for
closing business, not for friendly letters.
You should exchange calls with indi-
viduals before inviting them to your house.
The custom of leaving blank margin
on the left hand side of each page Of let
ter is obsolete.
To return personal call with cards en-
closed in an envelope signifies that visit
ing between the persons is ended.
Unless there is a great difference in age
lady visiting should not rise, either on
the arrival or departure of other ladies.

r. IL. Dana's Childho cd.


Richard Henry Dana was exceedingly
delicate as child, as was also William
Cullen Bryant, and the two young poets
were largely benefited by water-the latter
by the enforced use of cold spring which
gushed from the under world near the
homestead of his father at Cummington,
and the former by the fresh and briny air
OF the ocean at Newport, whittier he was
sent when he was about ten years old.
Studiously inclined, he was not able to
study much, SO he passed his time mostly
outof- doors, rambling along the rock
bound coast, and listening TO the roar of
the breakers. The wind came to him with
healing on its wings, and the tumultuous
waves strengthened his love of solitude.
No other American poet was ever so
moulded by the ocean, which haunted him
like a passion, insensiblv blending with
his thoughts and emotions That he was
a poet did not dawn upon him in child
hood,as it did upon the young dreamer at
Cummington, nor was there any thing in
our literature to suggest the possibility OF
an American poet Poets by courtesy
there were, of course, for, like the poor,
they are always with us. Dwight had pub
lished his conquest Of Canaan" Barlow
his Vision of Columbus" and Freneau a
collection of his patriotic poems. These
swallows, however, no more made sum
mer than the little beach birds which
Master Dana saw fitting before him in his
daily rambles along the shore at Newport.
The traditions Of the Dana family were
scholarly, and in his seventeenth year,
when his health was sufficiently restored,

The Innocent SchOolmaster.
Barles Monthly.1

He doesn't know very much. He can
ask the questions laid down in his text
book, and can determine with a good de-
gree Of accuracy whether the answers are
repeated correctly. He carries pen over
his ear, a stick in his right hand, and a
book in his pocket. He considers it Of
more Importance to secure obedience and
submission than intellectual discipline.
He frequently :"Learn your lesson
II you ask any questions you shall be pun
ished 1t is not for you to know the reason
why! Wiser heads than yours or mine
have written these books, and it is your
duty to learn what is written, and mine to
make you do it! Study"
He requires absolute, unquestioning sub
mission. He neither thinks for himself,
nor permits his pupils to do SO. He be-
lieves his books, and follows his nose. He
is the sworn enemy of normal schools,
teachers institutes, and universal free edu-
cation. With new textbooks he has no
patience, and takes no special interest in
new inventions; in fact he rather more
than half believes that Edison is a hum
bug. He daily puts on the skull-cap of his
own ignorance, and lives in the foggy at
mosphere of his favorte pipe, and one of
these days he will wrap the drapery of his
snug-stained garments about him and lie
down unhonored, unwept, and unremem-
bered.
| The above is no ideal sketch. We have
many such teachers yet lingering in the
valleys of our dark corners. 1t is only by
persistent efforts that they can be driven
from the teachers ranks into the darkness

THOUGHTS.
Never betray a confidence.

Never betray a confidence.
Tread not in crooked paths.
Deceive not in the secrecy of your house
Home is on earth the best likeness OF
Heaven.
Heaven will be more than you ever
dreamed it to be.
Judge not thy fellow man until thou art
similarly situated.
Make your life so that there will always
be heaven around you.
Religion is the homage which the intel
lect pays to the feelings.
Faith that asks no questions kills the
soul and STILES the intellect,
No one will dare maintain that it is bet
ter to do injustice than to bear it.
1t is glorious thing to resist tempta-
tons, but it is safest to avoid them.
Divine guidance is show when our ves'
sa. tempest tossed keeps steadily on.
Gratitude is the music of the heart when
It's cords are swept by kindness.
More pains are taken to appear good;
or make vice pass for its opposite, than is
required to be really virtuous.

substitute, which is genial in action and

tendency to biliousness, and promoting di-

The Hidden Stores of Romance in Evorl
Heart.

There are few souls in whom sentiment
does not hold a citadel. Sometimes it gains
absolute sway, and drives out all temper
ate qualities which raise against its extrav'
agances of thought or expression a warn
ing finger; sometimes it conceals itself
from view entirely, and masquerades for
a lifetime in the guse of indifference or
cynicism. 1t is always there however,
whether it parades in public, or turks in
some secret recess. 1t is there, living, sym
pathizing, hungering. 1t Graves the ro-
mantle the passionate, the thrilling-som-
times the morbid How universal and how
strong is this quality, is known only to
those whose profession it is to help supply
the public with poetry. The most reticent
spirit in the world is willing that his sem
timental rhymes shall be fed to the public,
IL he is permitted to keep within the shad
ow of seclusion. We have reached the de-
eision that no mortal ever lived who could
read and write who did not write poetry.
Many will stoutly deny the charge, but we
suspect them all the same. Those who
affect to scorn rhyme and sentiment are
sure to be the guiltiest of both weakness
es. The slightest assurance Of sympathy
with the secret vice Of poetry, which the
whole world is addicted to, will cause the
most desert soul to blossom like the rose,
and impart his sentimental condolences as
freely as flower bestows its perfume.

tive will show you, under the influence of
