Letter From Dakota.

Two little children from Tionesta,
Katie and Tommie Sullivan, aged
respectively five and nine years, were
brought to Oil City Monday, and
sent via the New York, Pennsylvania
q Ohio railroad to their father, in
Dakota. There the father emigrated
some years ago, intending, as soon as
settled in the new home, to send for
the wife and little ones but two years
ago the mother died suddenly, and it
was deemed the children were too
small to be sent that far, so they were
cared for by relatives. But now they
have been sent for by their father, for
whom an elder daughter is keeping
house, and go to brighten the home in
the northwest.-DerrlcG.
In connection with the above we
would state that Miss Martha Sulli-
van, whom many of our citizens will
remember made her home for some
time with Mr.. Lawrence's, went to
ioin her father some three weeks ago.
Upon her arrival there she writes us
the following very nice little letter
which we publish, almost verbatim,
AS much to encourage our little friends
in writing letters as for the news it
contains

DEAR FRIEND

Territory of Dakota for about two
weeks. 1t is fine country-not very
pleasant just now to be sure, it being
quite cold at present but we have

Tracy they have had 5 or 6 inches OF
snow. We have quite large town

Philip Lawrence he keeps a dry
goods store and runs the postoffice
We have large steam grist mil

work. 1t was far enough along t.
have a dance in it last Wednesday.
Ilike Dakota better than l did Penn a

large frame house, and his farm ha

prairie fires are raging at present; yo'

mnY chiffon.

There is beautiful tradition that
the first foot which passed the snow
clad rock of Plymouth was that of
May Chiffon, a fair young. maiden /;
and that the last survivor of those
heroic pioneers was May Allerton,
who lived to see the planting of
twelve colonies which formed the
nucleus of the United States. In
the MayflOwer eighteen wives ac-
companied their husbands to a
waste land, and uninhabited save
by the willy and vengful savage.
On the unflOored hut, she who
had been nurtured amid rich car
pets and draperies of the mother
land, rocked her newborn babe,
and complained not.
She, whom the home of her youth
had arranged the gorgeous shades
of embroidery, compounded the rich
venisOn partly as her share of the
housekeeping, now pounded the
coarse Indian corn for her children'S
bread, and babe them ask Gods
blessing ere they took their scanty
portions. When the SHOWS sifted
through their miserable roofs upon
the little ones, she gathered them
closer to her bosom she taught
them the evening prayer and holy
hymn, though the War-whoOp of
the Indian rang through the wild.
Amid the untold hardships of col
Onial life she infused new strength
into her husband by her firmness,
and solaced his weary hours by her
love.-lIrs Lydia SigOurHeg.

OutgrowIng ones Friends.

There are men and women in
public life whose pathway is mark
ed by the "renlNins" of whilOm
friends whom they squeezed dry
and dropped, like so many sucked
oranges. In politics it is said OF
such a man that he has kicked
down the ladder by which he
climbed. In Literary or other walks
oflife the human sponge often swells
up with thought that he has "out-
grown" his humble friends of other
days. In private life the self-cOn'
sciOus soul contents itself with be-
coming more and more the center
of its little circumference, taking
none within its orbit who will not
consent to revolve around it and
emit life and warmth for its enjoy
ment. There have been many and
noble definitions of what friend is.
People of real. individuality,
strength and sensitiveness doubt
less have fewer real friends than
they are apt to think, unless they
have been cherishing, unconscious
ly, low ideals. But whatever a
friend may not be, certainly that
sweet and noble term is unmerited
by one who, however generous in
other directions, is selfish of him
self.

the PHILOSOPHY Of nuggtng.

Too much care cannot be eXercis-
ed in putting arms around the
young girls of to-day, and we would
wish to impress this fact upon the
minds of the young men who are
Just coming up on the stage of ac-
ton. OF course men along in years
do not need advice. The boys are
apt to put more force in the right
arm than they are aware Of in such
cases, 100 per cent. more than they
would be apt to do in saving wood
or carrying up a scuttle of coal.
They should bear in mind that girls
are too valuable to be used in de-
veloping the muscles as you would
n gymnasium. You don't have 10
squeeze a girl till her liver is forced
from its normal position, aud she
chokes up and catches her breath,
to show that you love her. \ gen
tie squeeze of the hand, the stealing
of the arm around her waist wnen
she is not looking, and the least
pressure upon her belt is all the law
requires. She can tell by your face
whether you love her, us you sit
there in the twilight looking into
the guiding-star eyes, as well as
though you grabbed her as you
would a sack of wheat and hung on
like dog to a root. Don't make a
barrel hoop of yourself, and try to
break every stave in the girl you
think you love, and you will not
have cause for the sorrow the poor
young man in Iowa has, who meant
no harm, but lacked a governor to
equalize his power. Hug easy till
you find that the patient will stand
more, and then you can apply the
proper squeeZure. Sometimes we
think there ought to be a professor
ship in our female schools for test
ing the capacity of scholars for the
trying ordeals which they must pass
through. If there was such a pro-
fessOrship, and the girls were given
a ticket or certificate showing just
how much hugging would be good
for them, it might save many valu-
able lives, but we don't know of
many who could hold such a profess
sOrship with credit. Then, if the
girls were given certificates they
might alter the figures and get more
hugging than was good for their
health. The best way is for young
men to use their good judgement
and then all will be well.

story about Edgar a. Poe: Zone
day / was sitting at a booksellers,
who also published serial, when
Poe came in. If shabby, he was
generally genteel, and had the in
herent look of man of the world
out of place and Ostracised,
yet with a compensating pride in
his sense of finer intellect. After
some little while he said to the pub
Usher, lend me Sl0' l can't do

AComedy of Errors.
Chattanooga Times.

Chattanooga Times.
Two babies were born in the same
house at Oakland, Tenn. The
mothers were sisters, closly resem-
bling each other, and the infants
were both girls. In the excitement
of the occasion the little ones got
mixed, and this happened before
they had been dressed, or in any
other way marked oridentification
There seems to be no way out of the
uncertainty, for three months have
passed without developing any re-
semblance to the father in either
case; and if the children grow up,
as they seem likely to, with the
physical characteristics of their
mothers, nobody will ever know
the exact parentage. The present
agreement is to decide the question
by lot.
