Bewitched by His Future Bride.

More than one woman has worked
in the mines for her living in this
country as in the English pits. The
Philadelphia Press recently mentioned
Mrs. Riginiary, of Locust Gap, who
hauls coal with a two-horse team to
customers, She formerly worked at
Excelsior colliery with her husband,
and it is related that she could load
wagons as quickly and well as her hus-
band. Another notable example of
this kind is current among the miners
Reliance colliery. Thomas East, now
deceased, used for awhile to bring his
fourteen-year-old daughter to the mines
to help him. She did the best she could
until the boss put a stop to it by send
ing her home. East had a family of
girls and proposed to make them useful
IN the most convenient way to himself.
One morning, before the foreman's
interference, miner saw the lass at
work. He had not heard of her before,
and thinking himself bewitched or the
oeholder of vision, he tainted from
fright. He lived to regard her pre-
sence with less terror, for within a
year she walked to the altar with him
and became his bride.

In the Spring.

In the spring above the meadow chirping
swallows joyous fit;
In the spring all natures gilded with the
brightest charms, to wit:
In the spring the little bluebird sings within
the maple tree;
In the spring the cowslips peeping from the
grasses dot the lea.
In the spring on twiGght's cloudships coral
draperies repose;
In the spring warmer lustre on Melissa's
bonnet glows.
In thespring within the woodland all the war
blers gaily flute;
In the spring the solemn Shanghai sits
serenely on her fruit.
In the spring tint of amber on tho honey
suckle lies;
In the spring the saffron duclilst its aquatic
paddle tries.
In the spring the orleandcr, rs per custom,
tips and tits;
In the spring tho happy school boy walks
around upon his stills
Ii, the spring the fragrant zephyr shakes the
dew-drops from the rose
In the spring young mans fancy turns to
thoughts, of summer clothes.

STEPHENS CITY, FREDERICK co. VA SATURDAY, FEBRUARY o

time the shaft was trembling and earth
and stones falling.
AS they stood there in the kebble
their bodies and hands touching, and
glancing into one another's eyes, the
awful thought came to them both in
an instant that one of them must die
must die to save the other-his
enemy
One of them must debut who
should it be?
They again looked at one another,
and there was an eternity in the glance.
Then one of them let go the rope and
dropped out of the kebble, which i'm.
mediately began to rise. Who was it
The willing martyr was Tom Polglaze'
"Tell Marg'et," he shouted, as the
kebble rose above his head. "tell Marg'-
ct did it to save her pain--to save you
whom she lovesl I forgive you! but
be sure and be good to"
The shaft gave way, and nothing
presented itself to Tregear's gaze but a
mass of slate.an rubbish. Tom Pol
glaze was in eternity, as noble soul as
ever died for any cause that is dear to
man; as devoted as any martyr, as gen.
erous-sogled as any patriot-though
only apoor miner.
1t was long before Joseph Tregear
and Margaret Powhele recovered from
that shock. They mourned the brave
dead as a brother, ,and a neat little stone,
overlooking the village church-yard,
long afterward, reminded the tinmen of
Tregoze of the noble deed of self-sacri-
fee of hero who was one of them
selves.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

Try glycerine in place of sugar in
your tea or coffee when troubled with
flatulent (wind) dyspepsia.--Dr. Foote's
Health Monthly.
We give the recipe of celebrated
Paris physician for the cure Of small
pox: II herewith append recipe
which has been used to my knowledge
in hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent
or cure the small pox though the pit
tings are filling. When Jenner dis
covered cow-pox in England the world
of science hurled an avalanche OF
fame upon his head, but when the most
scientific school of medicine in the
world-that of Paris--published this
recipe as panacea for small pox,
it passed unheeded. 1t is as un.
failing as fate, and conquers in
every instance. 1t is harmless when
taken by well person. 1t will alst
cure scarlet fever, here is the recipe as
l have used it and cured my children OF
scarlet fever; here it is as l have used
it to cure small pox; when learned
physicians said the patient must die, il
cured Sulphate of zinc, one grain

a tablespoonful of sugar; mix with two
tablespoonfuls water. When thoroughly
mixed, add four ounces of water. Take
spoonful every hour. Either disease
will disappear in twelve hours. For o

"0NLY A MINER"
THE STORY OF ~ GREAT sAcRIFIcE.


Tregoze is pleasant little Cornish
village overlooking the western Sea- -
Everything there is rough and stony.
and even the inhabitants are to all ap-
pearance as rough and stony us their
native rocks. But underneath those
slaty fields lies the rich vein of metal
and in those rough Cornish hearts is a
vein of human feeling and Christian
charity, far, far purer than much that
passes as such in the fashionable world
where tinkling bells daily summon rich
dowagers to church in their gorgeous
chariots
The children of Tregoze were trip,
ping lightly to school after the holi-
days, along the hard slaty paths. 1t
was, indeed, with no creeping like
snail unwillingly to school, kind of
motion on this occasion, us all were
full of expectation, almost of joy, for
they were to have that day new mis-
tress, one whom they all knew, and
who had, in fact, been ono of them
selves.
Margaret Powhele had been born in
Tregoze, where she had attended the
school, first as pupil, and then as pupil
teacher. Thence she had gone to the
college in London, and vacancy hav-
ing occurred, she had been appointed
mistress down there in her own native
village. Her father had worked there,
man and boy, in the Tregoze mines for
upward of forty years, and he still con-
tinued to follow this same occupation.
The children, therefore, all knew
Margaret. Their memories of her
were pleasant, and hence they tripped
joyously to school, where they admired
their new mistress, who, in their eyes,
was certainly as learned as the curate,
and almost as wise as the vicar, beside
being as pretty as princess. When
they, therefore, returned home at mid
lay, many were the exclamations of
"1sn't she prettyp' isn't she nicel'
and SO on. among the youngsters;
which exclamations generally called
forth from the old people the remark,
II hope thee wool get vorrard i thy
farming, cause times be very hard for
us poor volks."
Many others beside the school chill
dren were in love with Margaret, for
she had bldded into womanhood since
she had left Tregoze, and now her
beauty had taken the young men by
surprise. For some time Margaret
found it far from agreeable to have SO
many admirers, but by dint of good
