High Reception Committee proceeded to
the ante-room. and the candidates were
brought in and put through the usual
exercises. Although warned in advance
by the janitor that they need not fear
for their lives, the Judge tainted dead

The operator read it, smiled and said:
"You can save considerable expense,
and tell all that is really necessary, 1

eyes, sir"
The tall man with the short pantaloons
went back to the desk with his message.
Occasionally he would hold it from him
at arms length, after making an erasure,
to get at the general effect. AT last,
after much scratching and erasing, and
with many signs, he came to the window
and handed the operator the following
expunged edition of his origi mes
sage:
Mrs. Sarah r. Follinsbee-MY DEAR
WIFE: 1 left the city-this morning
after eating-Prof. Morton alive
cause expected to eat-you at home.
But we were delayed by terrible rail-
read accident on the railroad. IIbe-
ing killed-terribly mangled, and
since died; but am the conductor
II can not--come to Dallas Centre
but can II hate--mother and
the children. Your loving husband,
ROGER r. FoLLINsBRE.
The operator smiled once more, and in
his quick. nervous way, that grows out
of familiar association with the light
ming. made few quick dashes with his
pencil, and without adding or changing
letter in the original message, shriv-
eled it down to its very sinews, like this:
Sarah X. Follins5ee, Dallas Centre,
Io,0a: Left city 'smorning; delayed by
accident; all right; home 'sevening.
ROGER r. FOLLINsBEE.
"There, that is all right" he said, in
the CHEEKY, magnetic way these oper-
ators have. Fifty cents, sir; only
twenty-five cents if we had our own wire
into Dallas, sir; we'll have one next
spring, too; saves you seAeral dollars,
sir. That's right, thank you"
And the man with the thin neck and
thick hair went and sat down on chair
by the stove. and stared at that operator
until the rescuing train came along, as
though he was worker of miracles.
And when he got off the train at the
junction for Dallas, heard him whisper
ing softly to himself:
Shfollnsbee-clislm smorning; nothin
smatter; home saftnoon."
And L knew that he was practicing his
lesson, and had caught on Hawk

IN THE MINING TOWN.
ROSE HARrwIck THORPE.

!" It's the last time, darling" he gently said,
As he kissed her lips like the cherries red,
While his fond look shone in his eyes Of brown.
"My own is the prettiest girl in town;
To- morrow the bell from the tower will ring
A Joyful peal. Was there ever king
So truly blest, on his royal throne,
As shall be when claim my own p
Twas fond farewell; twas sweet good-by,
But she watched him go with troubled sign,
so, into the basket that swayed and swung
Ger the yawning abyss, he lightly sprung,
And the jov of her heart seemed turned to woe,
As they lowered him into the depths below.
Her sweet young face, with its tresses brown,
Was the fairest face in the mining town,
10 the morning came; but the marriage bell !,
High up in the tower, rung mournful knell,
For the true neat buried meath earth and
stone,
Far down in the heart of the mine-aone.
sorrowful peal on their wedding day,
For the breaking heart and the heart of clay,
And the face that looked from her tresses brown
Was the saddest face in the mining town.
Thus time rolled on its weary way,
Until fifty years with their shadows gray,
Had darkened the light of her sweet eyes glow,
And had turned the brown of her hair to snow,
Oh never kiss from a husbands lips,
Or the clasp of child's sweet finger tips,
Had lifted one moment the shadows brown
From the saddest hesrt in the mining town.
Far down in the depths Of the mine one day,
In the loosened earth they were digging away,
They discovered a face, so young, so fair,
From the smiling ip to the bright, brown hair,
Untouched by the finger of times decay.
When they drew him up to the light of day,
The wondering people gathered round
To gaze at the man thus strangely found.
Then a woman came from among the crowd,
With her long white ha.r, and her slight form
bowed.
She silently knelt by the form of clay,
And kissed the lips that were cold aud gray,
Then the sad old face with its snowy hair
On his youthful bosom lay pllowed there.
He had found her at last, his waiting bride,
And the people buried them side by side.

"Oid Maids "

The term is already almost an extinct
one. The world is beginning to realize
that many noble women are too honest,
too brave and too pure to use marriage
as makeshift. And it is plain that
there cannot now be in existence more
thoughtful, more large-hearted, more
self-sacrificing, more modest, tender and
truthful women than these. As society
comes to see that woman is as separate
an entity, as distinct an individuality as
q man, it will pay less regard to her &C.
cidents and more to herself. It will not
take it for granted that she has had q
disappointment" at q tender age, or
buried her lover, or been the victim of q
misunderstanding" if she write horself
Miss at forty. Nor will it audibly
wonder why charming woman is un
mire her for her admirableness, whether
that has the certificate Of some mans ex-
pressed appreciation or not. It will per
NIT her to live her own life. In the past
the patience Of single women has been
too complete and self-sacrifcing. AL
most with one accord have they consent
ed to efface themselves, as the French say
grieving the while that married sisters
and preoccupied brothers-in-law and gay
young nieces-alas! that even disap-
pointed parents-were 80 ready to efiace
them. They have seemed content to live
only for others. But this virtue of self
sacrifice is greatly misunderstood. To
deny ones self for great end, to help
the weak, to relieve the burdened, that
is heroic. But only to sew for the idle,
to take steps for the inconsiderate, to
pamper vanity and folly with endless
services, TO be an unpaid upper servant
for unappreciative kindred, to make ones
self of no account that selfishness may
prosper, this is selfish and Perpetuates
tyranny. This degrades and belittles
her who ministers, ~ it initiates and mis-
leads her who is miuistered unto. By
cultivating little of that selfishDess
which she sees in others, the single wo-
man may command respect. She should
not slight her dress, and put away from
her the ornaments and graces Of life.
They are her armor and defense, her
argument and appeal; for it is for her to
show, in her own person, how much
more is the woman than the wife, and
how incontestable il her right TO place
in the house. in society, and in the
world.
