Bringing Him to the Point.

The other night, when one of our prom
inent society young men called to see his
girl he found her mother sitting quietly
before the fire. After bidding him "good
evening" she looked him full in the face
and said: "Do YOU really love my daugh-
ter Emma?" ''Well-ah-my dear mad
ame," stammered the youth, turning red
i'll the face, 81 have only been coming to
see your daughter two months, and
really think you are little premature in
propounding such question" Chat
where we differ, young man. If the seed
of your sowing now will bring forth a
matrimonial harvest I'm willing to put
up with YOU awhile longer, but if you are
coming here three nights out OF the week
just to pass away time you had better
| cease coming at once" eyes. Well,
really, madame" put in the youth, his
voice all in culver, "since you press me
| so closely for an answer | must admit
that am very fond of Emma, and that
/ live for her alone" "Yess," broke in
the anxious mamma; chats the trouble
hyou young men; you waste too much
time living for girl alone, when you
ought to be living with her. I'm a plain
| old-fashioned woman and always say
what think. Now I'm willing to give
you a month longer as a trial, but if at
the end of that time don't see a span
kin fine new ring on Emma's finger
your visits to this house will be cut off. =
And then to the great relief Of the Young
man she left the room and sent in her
daughter, who, of course, was utterly un-
conscious of the ''goodlicks" her mother
had been putting in for er.-Chicago

While the long, bright days die slowly

And the black waves lying dimly

When the moOnless night draws close,
And the lights are out in the house,
When the fire burns low and red,

Still your heart must wake and watch

Elior Register Please allow me a
little space in your'yaluable paper
to report some school items.
The Union school house, Of Ora.
ham District, is situated in the
country about two miles back Of
New Haven.
The term Of four months closed
on the Sth inst. And the closing
exercises, consisting Of essays, dia,
logues, declarations, select reading,
and a paper Of school itoms, were
highly commended.
The average attendance during
the term was 875, and the euum.
erations Of the Sub. District last
year was only 4S. So the average
attendance was 70 por cent. of the
enumeration.
Robert Yoager and Melvin Roush
were the most successful competi.
tors It The monthly examinations.
The advanced spelling class
wrote a Lesson sch day during the
term. Misses Milns Brpgarner
and Sadie Hoffman mosited Che
highest grade.
The spelling class, composed Of
the younger pupils, recitod two
lessons per day orally. George Oil.
yer received the highest number of
head'marks, aad Emma Fry receiv.
ed the next highest number.
The school was visited by the
County Superintendent about a
week before Christmas. Mr.. Whit.
ten had a welcome reception, and
he addressed the school in a man.
nor that was highly appreciatiye.
The algebra class recited daily
for two months, and then an order
was received from the Board Of Ed.
ucatiOn, fOrbidding the recitation
during school hours. This act of
the Board caused tho class as well
as the teacher to become somewhat
indignant. However, the recita.
ition was promptly discontinued,
but the class pursued the study,
"all the same" and was instructed
at recess and noon.
The pupils made comnendsble
progress in their studies.
This is the fourth term tho school
has been taught by the writer.
May the Union school ever pros.

J,B YEAaER.
