POPPING THE QUESTION.

1t was seven long years since Jonas
Harris had begun to "keep company"
with Miss Hannah Bell, and yet all that
time he had not mustered courage to
propose certain important question.
His house was lonely and waiting hers
was lonely enough to be vacated, and
Jonas could not bring himself to speak
the decisive words. Many a time he
had walked UP to her door with the
courage of lion, only to find himself
very mouse when she appeared.
He had never failed in dropping in
to cheer her loneliness on Christmas
evening, and this year he presented
himself as usual. The hearth was swept,
the fire burned brightly and Miss Han.
nah was adorned with smiles and a red
bow.
Conversation went serenely on for an
hour or so, and then, when they both
sat pairing red-cheeked apples with
great contentment, Jonas began to call
on his recollections.
"It's good many years, amt it,
Hannah since you and first sot here
together?"
ayes, a good many"

myself" said Miss Hannah, briskIy.
This was blow indeed, and Jonas
felt it.
"Where?" he gasped.
"Oh, don't know" she returned,
beginning to quarter her apple. III
might be out to tea-over to your house
for instance"
"But there wouldn't be anybody over
there to get supper for you"
"Maybe 1 could get it for myself"
$50 you could so you could !" cried
Jonas, his eyes beginning to sparkle.
"But there wouldn't be anybody to cook
the pies and cakes beforehand"
"Maybe l could cook EN-"
At that moment Jonas plate fell be-
tween his knees to the hearth and broke
IN two, but neither of them noticed it.
"Hannah," cried he with the pent
up emphasis of seven long years, "could
you bring yourself to think of getting
married?"
A slow smile curved her lips; surely
she had been gwen abundant time for
consideration.
"Maybe l could" she returned,
demurely, and Jonas has admired him
self to this day for leading up to the
subject so cleverly.

HORACE GREELY's QUEER wooING
He Never Saw His Bride Until His Wedding
Day, and Nearly Lost Her.

Mr.. Greeley and Miss Cheney had
never met. A mutual friend told
her story of the young lad with skill
to the innocent young Countryman,
and so awakened his desire to be-
come acquainted with the lady that
he allowed his friend to write to Miss
c. that he would like very much to
correspond with her. Her letters to
the mutual friend we're written with
frankness and originality seldom
found, and rather pleased the young
man to whom they were shown, and,
having no experience in knowledge
of the mysteries of the female heart,
he was easily caught in loves net.
His friends remarked the symptoms
of the increasing fever, and lost no
opportunity to laugh at the poor
fellow. Miss c. enjoyed the inro-
cent pleasure of a correspondence
with the gifted young journalist, and
ought to have known the danger,
but the letters were SO delightful,
each one growing more and more
attractive, and at last, Mr.. Greeley,
in the simplicity of his honest nature
avowed that his heart and his life he
offered to Miss c. and begged that
she would accept them. unworthy as
they were, etc. He had been told
by his friend that she was beautiful
and very young. 1t was not neces-
sary, this friend thought, as she told
me, to describe Mr.. Greeley. So love
born in Miss C's heart from the let
tiers allowed her to picture him as
fancy dictated After a suitable time
had passed it was arranged between
them that MIR. Greeley should 90 to
New Orleans, the home of the bride,
spend one day, be married and re-
turn North Immediately. His paper
demanded this unromantic haste.
But Mr.. Greeley was not romantic;
he was severely matter-of- fact.
Miss Cheney was in every respect
the opposite of her lover. In the

Myriads of lights were cleaning in
Ormsby's magnificent cate when Mr..
de Montmorency entered with Gladys
on his arm, queenly in her beauty
and grace.
The count was already there, and
the three sat down to a table to-
gether.
"What no, waiter! Come hitherp'
This stern command from Mr.. de
Montmorency was instantly obeyed.
The waiter came to the table.
Gladys could feel the color leave
her cheeks.
She knew that the moment for the
great test had come.
Even the stern lips of her father
quivered, and the cold perspiration
was on his brow as he said:
Count, my daughter and l only
care for steak and a cup of coffee.
Will you order for us?''
The count rose from his chair, and
his ringing voice could be heard
throughout the vast room as he said:
slaughter in the pan and draw
one in the dark twice.
Reader, there is but little more to
add.
Crushed and broken, Gladys re-
tired to a convent to end her life in
quiet and solitude.
The count left for his native country
on foot, but haystack IN which he
was sleeping one night took fire and
he perished in the flames.

THE CHEROKEE ROSE.
SAMUEL MINTURN PECK.

Come ripple your tieetest,
o rhymes that are meetest,
In praise of the sweetest
Wild blossom that blows.
Though tripping most lightly,
And pattering brightly,
Ye ne'er can sing rightly
The Cherokee rose.
The zephyr that kisses
Its petals hath blisses
That paradise misses
And seraph ne'er knows.
So charming it's face is,
l long TO change places
With bee that embraces
The Cherokee rose.
In sultry midsummer,
Who would not become
Luxurious hummer
That merrily goes,
Deiying the lances
That MONDAY advances,
To revel where dances
The Cherokee rose?
Shame on the brown thrushes
That pipe in the bush
My melOdic gushes
Were Sweeter than those
II could sit swinging
" here perfumes are winging,
More worthy my Sinsin"
The Cherokee rose.
When ShOrn fields are dreariul,
Aid bonnie birds fearful
When autumn is fearful.
No terror it shows;
No quarter it cravest,
When BUreas ravest,
But dies like the bravest
Sweet Cherokee rose.

on the teacher, too. We are all more or
less apt to grow slip.shod without some
such restraint. Let us see to 1t then, for
our own convenience, and the perma-
nent good for those entrusted to onr care,
that we do ''all things decentlY and in
order" So shall our schools prosper,
ourselves more nearly approximate to
our ideal, and our pupils rise up and call
US blessed.-Institute.
The Grub method is more than a method
of employing the concrete-it is q scien.
tiic method. Nearly every teacher can
employ objects, but not every one en-
ploys them r%ightly-the art Is indeed a
mighty one. Froebel gave a lifetime to
it, to devise the method to be employed
with young children, and to comprehend
his discoveries demands a long and care
full study. No good method of teaching
can be easily learned; the better the
method the more dificult-although the
reverse of this is not necessarily true.
In many States women are eligible as
school officers. There are reasons why
they should be chosen; and n is that
it will interest women IN schools far
more than they now are. It is quite re-
markable that the course of study, the
mode of teaching, the fitness of the school.
iOOu, Iut arrangement OF the OQCnOuSeS.
and aboYe all, the character of the teacher
are not more investigated and discussed
by the mothers of cherished daughters.
The whole condition of things would be
changed, We think, if woman had a hand
IN the matter.
How shall the teachers teach morals?
There are some who are honest enough to
know they connont do this and they do
not attempt it. But a teacher who neglects
to do it ought no. to be allowed within a
school room. The teacher does teach
morals or immorals even by silence.
That he neglects to give an opinion on
wrong-doings is enough, his pupils will
understad that ''silence gives consent"
You did not tell us that 1t was wrong to
white the pickets," was the response
of a class to a teacher; and he reflected
that he had omitted to say anything
about damaging other property than
that about the school-house. A discus
sion of right and wrong must constantly
go on in the presence of growing youth.
They learn not by distractions but by
cases that come mp in daily life; the life
of the pupils in and around the school
room affords a play for the temptation,
the waywardness. the rebuffs and the
trials or life itself. To neglect to train
the moral powers of the pupil in school
is to neglect him almost entirely.
