They all sat busily thinking for about

smack of lips over lines and candy.

won't that be fun, thought"
The other girls were astonished at
such a vigorous movement, because,
Notwithstanding all their mischief, they
thoroughly respected the young man,
and did not wish to disgrace themselves
in his eyes. Nettie, although knowing
nothing of his feelings for her, was quite
tenderly disposed toward him, and did
not care to see him intrapped, and
perhaps led into marriage. They oil
demurred some time, but were finally
overrrlled by Grace.
"He won't mind it bit" said she;
"and think how mad twill make the
'old 'un,' when she discovers that we
are aware Of her passion for him
That was sufficient; they all detested
her-so agreed.
A week from that night was to occur
a monthly social circle given in the
school, when the young ladies of the
town outside were invited, and also a few
irreproachable young men, who afforded
great amusement for the girls by their
meek and lowly appearance. 1t was de-
cided that in the letter q place and time
of meeting should be appointed. Time
nine and one-half o'clock, social night;
place-Miss Woodward's private parlor.
The picked lines and candy having
by this time all disappeared, the party
broke up with parting injunction from
Grace to think up an awful letter for the
old lady.

EUPOPE'S TEEMiNG MILLIONS.

OF the large cities of Europe, Berlin
ranks next in size to London and Paris
the census of last year giving it
100000 inhabitants. 1t 1850 it had
but 100000, gain of 100000 in thirty
years thus doubling and nearly treb-
ling its number. Nor is Berlin excep.
tional from other German cities in its
rapid growth. Dresden in 1850 had
10000 inhabitants, and now it numbers
about 900, Breslau thirty years ago
had 160, 900, and at present it numbers
100000; eighty years ago Munich had
$4,000; thirty years ago 100000, and
last year 100000 inhabitants. Not only
these cities, but all the German cities,
and also the towns, show the same re-
markable growth. And this growth is
not occasioAed by immigration from
outside the empires borders, as it is in
America, but from the peoples literally

have twelve and fifteen and rot uncom-

don't have any anxiety lest Germany
becomes depopulated and ruined by
the enormous emigration that is con-
SANITY taking place to other countries,
and especially to America. The coun-
try is already over-populated; it has
more mouths than it has bread to give
them more hands than it has labor to
perform. The great problem which
Bismarck and the Government at pres

with the increasing millions of the
future.
Emigration is the great safety-valve

doubled in sixteen years, and from 1872

HOW TO SLEEP WELL.

No healthful sleep comes except that
which follows voluntary or involuntary
action of the body. Pedestrians fall
into sound, deep sleep as soon as put to
bed, at the appointed time for rest.
This is the sleep from voluntary
muscular exercise. A person in
good health sits around the house all
day; an invalid may all day sit and
lounge and lie down from morning UNI
til night without sleeping and both the
healthy man and the invalid, in the
course of the evening, will become sleepy
and fall into sound repose, the result OF
the WEAKNESS which involuntary action
brings about for tho various organs OF
the body, the heart, the liver, the stom-
ach, the cyelidS, work steadily every
day. The intcstines are as ceaseless in
their motion as the waves of the ocean;
as these latter are always dashing to-
ward the shore. so is the great viscereal
machinery working, working, working,
pushing the wastes of the body down
ward and outward from the first breath
of existence to the last gasp of life.
There is not movement of the system,
voluntary or involuntary, external or
internal, which does not require power
to cause it. When that power is to
certain extent exhausted, instinct brings
on the sensation of sleepiness, which is
the result of exhausted power, intended

IT.-ExECUTISd MISCHIEF.

The next few days we're busy ones.
Every spare moment was occupied by
the girls in writing and comparing love-
letters; but finally one was composed
which it was decided could not be i'm
proved upon. 1t spoke of the over
wheImlng passion the author had for
Miss W., and his utter inability to keep
it longer to himself. "Having fancied,
from several slight advances, that she
was not entirely indifferent to him, lie
had ventured to address these lines to
her. He knew there was some differ
eDce in their ages, but if she would
overlook that, he would make her a
faithful, devoted husband. If she could
return his love, would she meet him in
her private parlor the next evening,
while the others were making merry
above stairs? And could he ask her to
make no sign until that time, as, in case
of a refusal, he would like to think Of
her as his own. for a while, at least"
Grace had been spending hours trying
to initiate his handwriting, in which she
succeeded to some degree but, being a
love-letter, the lady would scarcely think
of the writing simply Of the supposed
writer.
One afternoon, two days before social
night, while the principal was out TAX
ing her constitutional" the letter was
carried to her room and placed where
she would surely see it; then the girls
waited with some fear and trembling for
the result. .....
At the tea-table, that night, Miss
Woodward was late, and came in with a
peculiar expression of triumph on her

stopped Oh his return at my gate to give

medicine bag and bow of q Comanche.
"He was big chief, he said, "and !

and fastened past his dead enemy to
find him dying on the sidewalk. His
face frightened like that of a child
when he saw me, and he gave me the
same cordial and sympathetic attention
as of old to all I had to say. l see his
boyish and innocent-seeming face this
moment, as smilingly unconscious Of
what concerned him most as n squirrel,
without the faculty to care. "Anyhow,

dead.

DIDN'T WANT TO BE PARTICULAR

DIDN'T WANT TO BE PIRIICULAR
A Detroit lady, with heart full Of
charity toward the poor, received call
few days since to visit an old man in
the eastern part Of the city who was
represented to be greatly in need Of
nourishing food. She found a poverty
stricken family in need Of relief, and, as
she was taking her departure from the
house, she said to the woman:
"What can I send you that will please
the old mans appetite ?"
"Well, he's all the time talking about
quail on toast. +" was the reply. ri
The lady went out with dim sus-
picion in her mind that she had fallen in
very particular family, but in the middle
