upon opening it, no missive signed st.
Valentine greeted her, but long letter,
and at the end the name of the writer
Wilfred Mansfield. The letter told her
strange news. She learned that Wilfred
had never ceased to love her, but that
the agony of bitter self -reproach had
kept him from her side. On the night
when Mr.. Clinton was left for the last
time in his care, overcome by his long
watching and the stiffness of the room,
he had fallen asleep. Wien he awakened
dawn was in the room, and the patient
was awake and looked at him with con
scious eyes. He fastened for the i'm
portant medicine, but it was too late.
Before he again reached the bedside,
Mr.. Clinton was unable to swallow, and
again unconscious. Had he not slept
perhaps that life might have been spared.
He had endured the remorse of MUIR
derer, and dared not speak OF love to the
child of the man whose death perhaps
was upon his soul. He had made what
atonement was in his power. The
money he had hoped to invest in his own
home had purchased Mrs. Clinton's
house, and he had been living on sal
airy one-half of which was sent on st.
Valentines Day to Maggie.
81 am not rich man, now Maggie,
he wrote, "but / have salary offered
me here that will give us home and
comfort. / love you better than my
life. Shall l return to my dreary exile,
or will you forgive me? am waiting at
your door for an answer. Say, Il for
give you, and will hear you.
WILFRED."
"Wilfred, she cried aloud, "come to
me! forgive your
There was no rapturous meeting.
Very slowly and gravely he took her in
his arms.
Can you, indeed, forgive me, Mag
gie?'
What have 1 to forgive? What caused
your fatigue but care of our loved one?-
devoted to mother and myself? We
were to blame to let you watch all night
after working all day. You must not
feel again as you write here, Wilfred."
II have juss come from the DEBTORS, ="
he replied, land told him all. He
says there was no real hope. At best
the medicine could only have slim ulated
life for q few hours; perhaps one day.
Maggie, are you, indeed, my own at
last?"
"All your own il you will have me"
So, very quietly, on st. Valentine s
Day, there vas wedding in the little
sitting room. The millinery was taken
away from the store, and Wilfred opened
his old business again, while Maggie s
health and happiness returned in the
deep content OF her husbands love-"

Hawthorne In His TempestuOus Moods.

Plain, peaceful, calm and retiring as
he was in all the ordinary events of life,
he was tempestuous and irresistible
when reused. An attempt on the part
of rough and overbearing sea captain
to interfere with his business as an In
spe ctor of the Customs in charge OF his
ship, was met with such a terrific upris-
ing of spiritual and physical wrath that
the dismayed captain fled up the wharf
and took refuge at the feet Of
him who sat at the receipt Of Gus
toms, inquiring with sailors emotions
and sailors tongue: What in Gods
name have you sent on board my ship rs
an inspector He knew no such thing
as fear was scrupulously honest ; was
unwavering in his fidelity; conscientious
in the discharge of his duty. There
may have been men with more latent
power, but / have known no man more
impressive, none in which the great re-
posing strength seemed clad in such
robe of sweetness as he wore.-G. B.
Loring.

Rice is becoming much more popu-
ular article Of food than heretofore. 1t
is frequently substituted for potatoes at
the chief meal of the day, being more
nutritious and much more readily digest
ed. At its present cost, it is relatively
cheaper than potatoes, oatmeal or grain
grits of any kind. In preparing it only
Just enough cold water should be poured
on TO prevent the rice from burning
at the bottom of the pot. which
should have closc-fitting cover, and
with moderate fire the rice is steamed
rather than boiled until il is nearly done;
then the cover is taken off, the surplus
steam and moisture allowed to escape,
and the rice turns out mass OF snow

other, and ~ much superior to the usual
soggy mass - fine mealy potato Is

st. Valentines Day, so full of bitter
memories, rose clear and bright, and
the postman tossed snowy envelope
upon the counter. It was directed to
Miss Margaret Clinton, and had city
stamp.
San order or q BILL" she said, open

Inside, sheet of creamy white paper
was folded round bank note for five
hundred dollars, and two words only
were written upon it-"Yours, st. VAL

Maggie thought Of tiny forget-me-
not in her small bog of treasures, and
tossing note and envelope into her
mothers lap, ran up stairs in an agony
Of tears.
It would make my story too long to
picture Maggie Clinton's life in the five
years that followed the death OF her
father. Every year the mysterious val
entine containing q bank note came to
help the widow and her child in their
struggle with the world, but when the
fifth OF February came around Maggie
was all alone. Mrs. Clinton had joined
her husband in tho better land, and the
poor child was alone in the world.
Valentines Day came. Maggie was
seated in her sitting room lonely and de-
pressed. Her health was failing from
caro- and overwork, and grief Tor her
mothers death was yet frssh in her heart.

Musical Convention in Millheim

Musical Convention IN Mlllhelm
The musical convention which was
held in the Me. Church of this place
under the direction of Prof. Kurzen-
knabe of Harrisburg, Pa, produced a
feeling of entire satisfaction with the
members as well rs the audience. The
occasion proved a success in regard to
attendance and performd ell On

b. O. Deininger, Esq. Prof. j. II.

the election of officers for the week was
proceeded with. The following gentle
men were elected by acclamation: Prof.
j. II. Kurzsnknabs, President, Mr.. s.
X. Sankey, Vice President, and Il. a.
Blu miller, Secretary.
The sessions through out the week
were conducted according to the pro-
gramme and In businesslike manner.
Interesting discussions on musical top
les were had, in which several of our
citizens took lively part. Another
fine feature of the exercises was the
elegant and delightful music executed
by the orchestra under the leadership
of Master Geo. j. KurZenknabe. The
Violin and Violin cello Sllos perform
ed by NJ lsters Ge). a.. AID JolI E.
ku' 2enknabe were of superior grade
and elicite1 almiratiol ald praise. The
singing was of the best kind and prov

combined in music, as th,y 1uglt tn do
the productions will be beyond criti-
els ~. Mrs. 5. Kurz ,nknaba also par
ticipated in the exercises and agreea-
bly, surprised the hearers by her rich
and meIOdious contralto voice. A few
select solos sung by that lady kept the
audience spellbound. Miss Kate L.
SLriner of Miflnburg assisted AS or.
ganist of the convention and we can
well say for her, that she dill her duty
in a faithful and laudable way. Those
sweet little singers, Ida and Mollie
Miller, of Miffiinburg, are credit to
their teacher, Miss Shriner.
The average attendance through the
week was 400 out of class of Jos
members. The community owes debt
o. gratitude to Prof. j. ii. KurZen.

forts in awakening the dormant talents
and powers of vocal music and reyiviug
the interest and love for the same.
Ga Saturday evening the convention
ended with grand concert. The
church was packed with a crowd of
about 400 people which however OBJ
served the best order during the whole
evening. Macy coEld not gain admit
tance for want of room. The pro-
gramme consisted Of the most select
and entertaining pr )iucsiou} Of music

Our neighbor of the Wdtchman,
in the following article hit the truth
exactly and fully touching the treat,
ment of our distinguished member of
congress, by Speaker Keiier. If
the petty speaker and Ex-Gov.
Curtin were made tho factors in a
problem of simple equations, any
decent mathematician not a stall
wart would easily find that it re-
quircd at least fifty contemplate
Kcifcrs to equal one Curtin. The
attempt of the little man, clothed
with little brief authority, to de-
grade our illus member and
insult our far-lamcd district, proves
entirely futile-falls fatty before
the American people:
Governor Curtin and Speaker Keller
The representative of this congress
sional district, our fellow townsman,
Governor CURTIN, was most discour-
teously treated by Speaker KEIpER in
the making up OF his committees, ana
the Elk Democrat Indignantly says
that he was almost entirely ignored by
the speaker, who placed him upon but
one committee, and that compare
lively insignificant one. Approaching
the studied slight thus put upon one OF
Pennsylvania most illustriOus sons
eX-Speaker RANDALL relinQushed his
place uDon one of the committees in
favor Of the Governor. The Philadel-
phia Times OF the 9th ult. has this 10
say upon the subject "lt Is possible
that Speaker kEIFER, or those who
command him, supposed that they were
| degrading Ex-Governor CURTIN 10y dis
regarding the courtesy that has ever
been observed by speakers IN assigning
him his s-positiOns on committees The
rule has been that ex-GovernOrs OF any
party are entitled TO place on foreign
relations, or some equally prominent
committee ; but CURTIN, who has been
twice elected governor OF the second
state of the Union and filled iirst-class
mission for four years, rs denied any
recognition in the organization Ut the
committees of the house. Had Speak.
er KEIFER respected himself, he would
have placed CURTIN on fpragp rela-
tions; and in refusing 10 do. so he has
degraded the speaker and his high
Office. and not Ex-Governor CURTIN.

much as with oursalve s-or rather our
Creator, who made us trife too big
IN circumference for Lewins Smts.
But levin did not consent to be
bafil3d in that way, and so he tied two
tape measures together, took our size
and ordered a suit to be made expressly
for us in Philadelphia, He1assured rs
and his word is "a goo d as old wheat

actly. 1t is to ha of fine blue clnth, of
