LEEToWN NEWS.

We quote the following from the
New York Horld, believing it will be
interesting if not instructive to some
of the younger readers of THE HEK-
AID:
Girls are of few days and full OF
mischief, aud whatsoever is deceived
thereby is not wise. When the fair
young girl cheweth her gum with
greater haste and stampeth her pretty
foot, do thou look out. She cometh
in the evening in low neck and short
sleeves; but a-morning she lieth in
bed while Ter mother hustleth. When
the sleigh-bell tinkleth she standeth at
the window and yearneth for beau,
and when he cometh she doeth up his
purse. He wrappeth the buffalo robe
about her and huggeth her much and
stayeth cut beyond his time, and the
livery man addeth four good dollars
to his bill. In the evening he hieth
himself away to her fathers mansion.
He goeth in and setteth by the fire,
and ere he leaveth he poppeth the
question and she jumpeth at the
chance. When the cock croweth he
taketh his departure, and, when he
remembereth the slnallness of his
salary, he kicketh himself and COM
pareth himselfto an; yea, verily.u
1t is with much sorrow that we an
nounce the death of our esteemed
friend, William Custer. who died at
his fathers residence, III Martinsburg,
Wednesday, the 18th. Mr.. Custer
was formerly of this neighborhood,
and had here many friends who were
sorry to hear of his death. But now
that he has taken the last deep decliv-
ity and passed over the bridge of
time, through the deep waters of the
river of death, we who knew him feel
an aching void which will not soon be
filled, and that a wound has been in
ficted which only time can heal. Yet
while we mourn for our departed
friend we mourn not as those who have
no consolation, for we know that he
went not as one scourged and driven
to his dungeon, but that withtae I'M
faltering step he wrapped the drapery
of his couch about him and laid down
to pleasant dreams. 10 the bereft
family we extend our sympathy, and
may they be cheered through their
faith and confidence, that earth hath
no sorrow that heaven can not heal.
Mr.. Daniel Clendenning and wife
gave party to the youngsters Of the
neighborhood last Friday night. Not
wlthstanding the inclemency Of the
weather, quite number were present
and all enjoyed themselves.
Mr.. John Albin lost fine horse,
last week, from a broken leg, caused
by being kicked by another horse.

capital illustrated article on Africa,
showing the celebrated Victoria Falls
the most wonderful in the world.
Then comes Mr.. VIM. III. Thomes's
story, 4" Levy and | /; or, Sailor Boys
Wanderings," fully as interesting as
the authors "Belle of Australia
and son Land and Sea-" two of the
most popular books published within
the last ten years. In the third part
of " Levy and ~ the scene of which
is laid in San Diego, in the year 1916,
during the early stages ofthe Mexican
War, the two adventures make their
escapes from the calabozo, and turn
the tables on the Mexican, Sanchos,
who takes his place in the boys cell.
We understand the author, Mr..
Themes, intends to visit the scenes of
his early adventures in California
some time in April, and the trip will
be of rare interest to him, we should
suppose. The other matter in Ball0u's
is good, and includes stories, poems,
amusing matter, etc. Only Sl.50 per
