him as his wife. When Miss Howe
and Fletcher were young they we're
engaged tobe married. The woman
-fancied her lover was attached to an
other girl, however, and suddenlg.
left her home ii Maine. Going to
Boston she shipped as s,ewardess on

vessel was wrecked on the North
Carolina coast, and after many ad-
ventures at sea in an open boat and
among friendly Indiahson land, Miss
Howe found her Fay.to civilization.
Robert Fletcher traced his runaway

sailed, and, hearing Of fthe loss Of the
vessel, always mourned her as dead

Mothers, don't be in a hurry to del
egate to others in these important
first years, the care which more can
understand or take like yourselves.
We know how weary you often are.
We know how this bodily weariness
produces Encouragement, but by and
by these precious, yet troublesome
little ones to whom you are repaying
the debt you owe your own good
mothers, will join hands and make a
loving, charmed circle for the pro-
lection Of your old age. Not one, lit,
tie rosy face shall you have kissed
and washed in vain, if you are thus
true to them and yourself; not one
little brown head laid lovingly on
its nightly pillow; not one little fig
ure, neatly robed, to jump into its
fathers arms when his days toll is.
done. Oh woe-woe TO those, and
there are such, who would weaken,
or break down, this most blessed and
holy Of all relations.

A New Field for Women. :

The most money,making women
are the teachers of dancing; there is
no occupation for lady which is SO
remunerative, It is withal, refined
in its associations, and a perfectly
legitimate and becoming profession.
The old and famous race Of dancing
masters is dying off, and the day is
dawning when woman will hold this
occupation as her right. AS On
illustration Of the success to be
achieved in teaching dancing as a
branch Of polite education we have
four lady teachers in Buffalo whose,
schools take in nearly all the small
towns in the vicinity Of this city,
even extending as far as Rochester,
where there are two distinct schools
managed by ladies from Buffalo,
whose annual gains are the envy of,
their less fortunate sisters, who plod
along as school teachers, decorative
artists or governesses. s.-Bufalo Cour-

"critter" in this place?
The Small Boy.

The small boy of the period is re-
gsrded with suspicious eyes by all
mankind. The singular fatality
which attends him, leading him into
endless scrapes and difficulties, in
stead of awakening sympathy for his
misfortunes, subjects him to taunts
and jeers. He is the butt of the pro.
fessional paragrapher, who, screen
ing himself in u cowardly way be-
hind the great fact that the small
boy does not or cannot read, makes
him a target for his heartless gibes.
