once ne held little white hand, toysd with
her curls, and heard her whisper "Stay
little longer; it lacks 8 whole hour of
daylight" She was expecting him Sun
day night the parlor curtains were down.
the old folks notified that it was healthy
to go to bed at o'clock, and Johnny
bribed with cent to permit himself to be
tucked away at shutdown. He sneaked up
the path, one eye on the cold man, who
didn't ike him any too well, gave faint
knock at the door, and it was opened
and he was escorted to the parlor.
He said be couldn't stay a min
ute, though he didn't mean to
go home until o'clock. She wanted to
know how his mother was il his father
had returned TO New York if his brother
Bills boil Was any better, and he went over
and sat on the sofa, go as not TO strain his
voice. Then the conversation tagged. and
ne played with his hat, and she nibbled
with the sofa tidy. He finally said it was
q beautiful evening, and she replied that
her grandfather predicted q snow storm.
He said be guessed it wouldn't snow, 90
the moon wasn't crooked enough to hang a
powder horn on it, and she said she didn't
believe it would either. This mutual under
standing seemed to give each other courage,
and he wanted to know if she had seen Bill
Jones lately. she hadn't, she said, an
she didn't want TO. Then went TO talk
ing about tie donation visit to be given
Elder Berry. He earelessly dropped his
hand on heTs-his right hand, while his
left arm sneaked along the sofa to get
behind her shoulders. Sac pretended not
to notice it, and he looked down at his
hoots, aud wanted to know If she thought
mutton tallow rotted out boots faster than
lard or lampblack. She couldn't say, but
had an idea that it did. He rad Just
commenced to lock fingers with her when
abe discovered that something allied the
lamp. She arose and turned the lamp
down a half, making the room look dim.
1t took him five minutes to get hold of her
hand again, and she pretended TO want TO
draw her hand away all the time. After
a long pause he lowered his voice 20
whisper, and said he didn't see what
made folks love each other. She Rugged
up TO him and admitted her ignorance. He
said he could name dozen young men who
were, going to get married right away, and
his left arm fell upon her and gave her a
hug. Then he went over to look out Of the
window, to make sure that it was, or was
not going to snow, and coming back he
turned the light down little more, and
then sat down and wanted to know if she
didn't want to rest her head on his shoul-

IT is to be hoped that the Trustees will concur
with the local Board Of Health relative to the con.
struction of cesspoos under the supervision of the
Health Officer and Board OF Health. One object is
to require cesspoos to be properly constructed and
properly ventilated. Surely no one can object to
this since the highest purpose is sought to be at
tained-the health of the people. Take the case of
the cesspool at the Capitol 1t has no ventilating
pipe, aud all the noxous gases enter the building,
and recently people who have been compelled to re-
main in the structure several hours have been made
very sick by the noxious vapors There is no earthly
reason to be advanced why every citizen should not
be required, within given PERIOD to attach to the
pipe leading from his house-drai to the cesspool OF
his dwelling small exterior pipe leading into the
upper air. As the gases will take the direction Of
the least resistance, they will pass out Of this iue
and not enter the dwelling. What viii still more
insure it is to also require lever aperture to be
made for the entry OF fresh air into the pit, and
thus constant draught will be maintained and
'a?or poisoning become all but impossible in a
dwelling thus protected, and which protection can
be afforded at a trifling cost.

SUGGESTIONS REGARDING WRESTLING.
Captain Burton tells US how the Arabs dis.
like TO hear person whistle, called by
them elsifr. Some maintain that the
whistler's mouth is not to be purified for
forty days, while according co the expla-
nation of others, Satan touching man g
body causes him to produce what they
consider an offensive sound. The natives
of the Tonga Islands, Polynesia, hold it to
be wrong to whistle, as this act is thought
to be disrespectful to God. In Iceland the
villagers have the same objection to whis-
ting, and so far do they carry their super
stitious dread of il that eff one swings
about him stick, whip, wand, or aught
that makes a Whistling sound, he scares
from him the Holy Ghost" while
other Icelanders, who consider them
selves free from superstitions, eau
tiously give the advice Do
if not for who knoweth what is in the
air p However eccentric these phases of
superstition may appear to US, yet it must
not be forgotten that very similar notions
prevail at the present day in this country.
A correspondent of "Notes and Queries, :"
for instance, relates how one day, after at
tempting in vain to get his dog to. obey
orders to come in the house. bis wife tried
TO coax it by whissling when she was sud-
denly interrupted by servant, Roman
Catholic, who exclaimed in the most pite.
Gus accent: " If you please, ma'am, don't
whistle-every time woman whistles the
heart of the Blessed Virgin bleeds /" 10
some districts of North Germany the vii
layers say that if one whistles in the even.

The SHEPHERD Does SAGAoITY.-A
flock OF sheep blocked up tire entrance to
bridge spanning Mill creek, near Chester
Park, o. a large shepherd dog had been
trying to get the sheep to cross the bridge,
but they were suspicious and held back.
Presently the dog, discouraged at his un-
successful attempts TO drive them. leaped
upon the backs of the sheep, which in
their crowded condition looked like one
woolly floor, ran along the bridge entrance,
Ieaped upon the floor, and, Selling in his
mouth the neck Of one OF the ewes, dragged
her along onto the bridge. Once On the
floor of the bridge, the old ewes suspi-
cions were allayed, and she trottod on
across, followed by the whole flock, while
the dog stepped TO one side, let them al
pass, and trotted along behind.

CoRsETs AGAIN.-With the artistic adj
vancement in dress, lacing the waist be.
comes less fashionable every day. There
are certain classes of women who do not,
and will not, encourage anything so per.
nicious. First, the women who graduate
at college, and understand just where the
different organs lie, and are too wise in
anatomy to disturb them then the art
students, who know too well the lines of
beauty in the Venus of Milo and Medici to
want V.shaped waist, and lastly the ac.
tresses, who study grace. They appreciate
the fact that corset, stiff with bones and
bolstering up the figure in vise-Iike grasp,
is death TO curves, emotion and abandon.
Discarding corsets is not a matter of health
alone, but OF style, and ease and grace.
There IS nothing in the world so beautiful
as a soft, plant figure. The man under
stands this perfectly who fret invented
jerseys. Their beauty lies in snug and
elastic fit, without presenting the appear
ance of being oppressively tight. Their
popularity Is not all abated this spring, and
they are shown in every conceivable shade
and color.-[New York Letter.

SOME OF TIE POLITICAL FIGHTS N ITS
HALLS.
The balls in which Michael Hoffman
led the Barnburners in the fight with
Hunkers, and insisted upon the change
of the Constitution so that all officers
and judges should be elected in order
that the Albany regency, controlled by
the Hunkers, should be broken up; the
halls in which we're enacted the meas
ures which broke up the old feudal land
tenure in the State; the halls in which
the silver-gray Wings and the woody
heads struggled for the mastery, and in
which Mr.. Seward, as the leader of the
latter, triumphed in the senatorial con-
test with the aid of Mr.. Littlejohn, who
went over from the Know Nothing
camp; tho halls from which fifteen
Barnburner senators bolted and re-
signed their seats because they were
outvoted by the Senate on expenditures
for the canals and hastened from the
capitol in carriages which had been
procured at the instigation Of Samuel J.
Tilden, will all be removed and no lon
ger remain as q monument of those and
other exciting scenes. The
actors in those scenes imagined that the
very existence of the State and nation
depended upon their success. Most of
them have passed away; the old build
ing is now to follow. The State exists,
prOspers, and the nation goes forward
without missing the men, or caring
whether the old building stands or is
torn down.
