Don't think you ought to be staid and

so few of the responsibilities of life, that
you ought to be as merry as a bird all

THE WASHERWOMAN.

In the days when Cotton Mather and
his brethren ruled the conscience and in
tellect of New England. she would have
been witch, for her thin, sharp face, her
bright eyes, rapid tongue and skinny
hands would have been SO many positive
proofs of acquaintance with the black
man, and she would have been old Moth
er Such-an-one, to be avoided and de-
spised, living on scraps rejected by happier
mortals, and warming her aching old bones
by the blaze of stolen firewood; but in
Frogsleigh, no less narrow-minded than
it might have been year ago, but less
imaginative, she is only the washerwom-
an. Where did she come from, How
old is she' Is she Irish, Scotch, English
or Yankee, Nobody answers when these
questions are asked. She has always
lived in two queer little rooms in queer
old house, that remains where it is be-

SILVER MINE ROMANCES.

At about ten o'clock, on yesterday
morning, i crowbar was dropped down
the main vertical shaft of the Savage from
the surface, and went directly through a
cage at the bottom, piercing the bonnet
and floor. No one was on the cage at
the time and no one was hurt, yet It Is
unpleasant to one making trip into a
mine to reflect that such things sometimes
occur. As the bar fell something over
five hundred yards, it was travelling with
the velocity and vim of a cannon ball
when it struck the cage. A bit of gray-
el no larger than hlbert sings like bull
let toward the latter end Of such a jour
ney. A dog once fell into a shaft at
Gold Hill, and though the shaft was but
800 feet in depth two men upon whom
the animal fell were killed, SO also was
the clumsy cur that had failed to hop
across the top of the shaft. a rat once
fell down the Consolidated Virginia shaft
in attempting to spring across compart-
ment from wall plate to wall plate, and
l 100 feet below, landed on the bald head
of a miner and exploded like a bomb,
causing the miner to think rock had cut
open the top OF his skull and let out his
brains. According to these facts it is not
pleasant to think of such things as crow
bars going down shafts.-Vrgl"ia CHy

TOO DEAR A WHISTLE.

AS a family composed Of three per-
sons, father, mother and little son--a
bright little fellow-were taking trip
on one of the railroads that run through
Williamsport, Pa, little incident occur
red which is worth relating. The day
was balmy one, and the window was
raised to admit the fresh air. Little
Fred, ike all children, insisted on putting
his head out of the open window to see
what was going on outside of the train.
The father, somewhat alarmed at the
conduct of his son, tried various plans,
without resorting to force, to keep him
within bounds, but without success, until
a bright idea came up in his mind.
Fred, Fred said the father, keep
your head in, or the wind will take your
hat" and, in order to frighten his hope
ful, he slyly slipped the hat off the little
ones head and concealed it. As soon as
this had been done the child began cry
ing, and could not be appeased. Finally
paterfamilias told him to look in an oPPo-
site direction and he would whistle. the
hat back again, all of which was very
neatly done, and the happy parents set
tied back in their seats and began 70
converse very pleasantly, thinking that
they had cured little Freddie; but not SO,
for in a very short time he seemed to
brighten up suddenly, and away he sent
his little hat through the car-window,
shouting as it disappeared, Papa, whistle
again" Moral - Never deceive your
children

DONTs FOR OLD MAIDS.

Don't get soured at the whole world
because some of the brothers didn't take
you in out of the cold; may be it was
your own fault.
Don't think, when you look through
the vista of years and see yourself, IN
imagination, hanging over the gate, with
the fellow on the other side, that you
made a narrow escape. He might only
have been fooling with you.
Don't think if you had it all to do over
again you would do differently and bet
ter. The probabilities are, you would be
about as much of goose as you were
then.
Don't try to make the whole world be-
lieve that you are in dead earnest, and
woulden't marry the best man on top OF
the ground, if you could, for you know
you would.
Don't say that all women are simple
tons who marry, for that is not compli-
mentary to your mother.
Don't thank goodness when you see
half dozen urchins making it lively fol
your neighboring sister that they are not
yours. You don't know how much fun
it is to be walloping them with a slipper
or dosing them with paregoric.
Don't swear off from human society
and take all your stock in poodles and
pet cats. They are just as mean as men
when you refuse to crafty their caprices,
Don't think the world don't put prop
er estimate upon your value. 1t does
Mothers are constantly pointing to you as
examples for their frisky daughters.
Don't think you ought to smile the less
because you haven't any one in particu-
lar to smile for. Smile for spite, if foi
nothing else, just to make men sorry that

JACK BULLET.
AGED FORTY.
Men may not have given him
4 chance,
But GOD WILL

You wouldn't think that these rough
men had sentiment in their hearts, but
they saw through the Elders motives in
an instant, and the roughest man in the
lot stopped down and carefully re-arrang-
ed one of the sods.
Three weeks more went by, and one
evening Jack Bullet came into Joe White 5
Dream, alive and well. He stood on the
little square in the centre of the town,
and he said not a word till the wonder
ing men gathered about him. Then he
pointed to the grave in the valley, his
eyes filed with tears, and he chokingly
said:
Boys, l sneaked back here this morn
ing to kill some one in revenge, but |
cum across that-that grave down-thar,
and-and-!"
He held out his hands to the men and
the tears blinded him so that he could not
see face. Elder Graves went down on
his knees again, every man with him,
and there were tears ana a prayer so
beautiful and tender and true that Jack
Bullet sobbed ike child. His heart
was broken, and all the Satan in his
nature was driven out in moment.
Joe Whites Dream was a mining
camp for months after that, and Jack
Bullet was one Of the best men in it.
The headboard grew gray as the rain
beat down and the sun shone, and the
wild rose grew till it covered all the grave,
but no one disturbed sod. The grave
was sign-a beacon-hght, as it were,
and perhaps miners were right when they
said of our town:
They've had revival up thar, an
they are the best chaps and the hardest
workers on the slope

ANECDOTE OF BEN BUTLER.

Ben Butler was called on by person
who wanted to have talk with him.
"Mr. Butler" said he, lone of my
neighbor's cows jumped my garden gate
last night and completely destroyed my
flower beds. The gate was of the height
required by law, and was closed. Now

damages"
Most assuredly," replied the widows
friend.
"Well, Mr.. Butler, how much?'
"Oh. about ten dollars"
"But, Mr.. Butler" triumphantly, "the
COW was yours"
"Ah." said Mr. Butler, thoughtfully;
and he looked unutterable things out of
his bad eye. Then he turned to his desk,
scratched off a few lines on a piece of
paper and handed it to the visitor. 1t
was in the form of an account and read
as follows:
"B. F. Butler to Mr.. -, dr.: To
damage caused by COW, $40; by legal
advice, cr., SIS; balance due me, S.. "
"Mr. -" said Mr.. Butler, softly,
"you need mt hurry about the payment"
