panion. She had good education, and could
converse very intellgently on all the common
topics of the day, and Bertha found her witty and
amusing, for she had the good sense to appreciate
a pleasant and intelligent companion wherever
she found her, whether clothed in silks calico,
whether in a drawin-rOOm or a sewing-rOOm.
And, as she wished to superntend her work, as
well as to help whenever she could, the two girls
were much together during the weeks that Flor
enee remained
Earle Russell often came in toward evening and
sat on the little porch that opened from the
sewing-rOom, and once or twice, after work was
done, Bertha prevailed on Florence to stay and
play game of crOquet on the lawn, with her
brother Roscoe as a partner. Then, when Flor
ence started home, she put parcel of nice things
into her hands, saying:
You have given me your time to help make
our game pleasant so let me get your sisters
supper for them, as you will be so late at home"
Florence began to feel that there might be some
enjoyment life for her yet. 1t had been long
time since she had passed so pleasant a fortnight
was the one in which she learned to love
Bertha Wills.
Anice came in often, and the trio went down
town together to ''match trimmings" passing
Judge Laws office on the opposite side of the
street
On the morning when Florence left his rooms
in such haste, he had followed her to the head of
the staircase intending to. call her back and pay
her the money that was her due and had heard
the first few sentences that passed between the
three girls, and his heart quaked within him, lest
Florence should betray his meanness to Miss
Bertha Wills, the daughter of one of his influen-
tial neighbOrs. His fears quieted however,
by the first words of the frightened GIRL and he
skunk back to his room, feeling that for once in
his life he had made mistake. A few days after
ward, rightly judging that Florence would never
again come to him for payment, and, fearing that
his wife might ask some questions about it, he
sent the money by messenger to Florence's
room. So, when his wife asked if Miss Campbell
came for the money, he said:
"Ies. She presented her bill, and paid it, as
always do your bills, without question. Am

WITHERED vIOLETS.
BY sARAH eALLAeHER.

Long years have passed, pale flowers, since you
Were culled and given in brightest bloom
By one whose eyes eclipsed your blue,
Whose breath was like your own perfume.
Long years-but, though your bloom be gone,
The fragrance which your freshness shed
Survives, when memory fingers on,
When all that blessed its birth have fed.
Those hues and hopes will pass away
Thus youth, and bloom, and bliss, depart;
Oh what is left when these decay =

\ WASHER PREACHER. - Rev. Thomas X

camp life in the woods, gives the following advice:
"All men ought to 90 to the woods and relig-
iously do their own washinga and general work
such as sewing, cooking, housekeeping and dish
washing. The work of women is not spoken of
sensbly 10y men till they have done il themselves

honor working women more than ever. Do a.
have done-do a wash of six pieces, and then re-
member that woman turns or two hundred
pieces i'm a day. Look at your watch and see how
long il takes you. Look at your soap and see how
much you have used. Look at your white clothes
handkerchief or towel and what you have
done or not done, and never again speak harshly
of, or to, woman on wash-day, nor of laundry
work as if il were unskiiled labor. Try it, \
sympathetic gentleman, having washed two
dozen pieces, VIII never change his shirt again
without a glow of reverence and gratitude \
similar and salutary consciousness will come to
him who darns his own socks patches his trou-
sers, splices his suspenders and washes dishes
Look not every man upon his own things, but
every man also upon the work of a woman
such an experience in the woods will 90 far
toward the settling of the woman question, by
teaching us that we are all members one Of an
other, and there must be no schismr

Washington, March l2.-George
Jones, of the New York Times, and
Erastns Brooks, of the Express, made
arguments to-day before the ways and
means committee for the removal of
tie duty oftwenty per cent. imposed on
wood pulps. They claimed that 1t was
owing TO an advance Of from 25 to so
per cent. in the price Of pulps, and a
combination Of paper manufacturers,
chiefly In the west, that the price Of
paper had advanced from 81 to cents
per pound, (the price Of last year,, to
9i and 10 cents, now charged. 1t was
also claimed that It was the combina-
tion of paper manufacturers that forced
the price Of paper to &c and % cents
per pound during the war, and that
had now caused an advance of over 80
per cent, and that IL no restrictions
were placed upon them they might
force the price even TO war figures.
. The manufacturers present denied
the existence OF combination to en-
hance the price, and claimed that the
advance was entirely regulated by the
law, Of supply and demand.
