THE REASON WHY.

1t isn't that I've got thing agin you, Parson
Peek;
Nor agin the many tried an true, I've met
there ev'ry week.
It's not for this I've stayed away so many Sab
ba days
From the little mount'in meetin house, where
oft I've fined in praise.
But lsten-if you care to know-an' l will tell
YOU all.
think twas bout two year ago, or was it three
last fall?
The wealthy members voted that they'd have
the seats made free,
And most OF us was willin' with the notion to
agree.
Perhaps the meanin' O. the word didn't quite
understand; 3Sa
For the Sunday after, walkin' long with Elsie
hand-in-hand-
You know the little blue-eyed girl; her mother
now is dead;
And am Elsie's grandpa but let me so ahead.
Well, thinl1in' o. the Master, and how home-like
ii would be
To take seat most anywhere, now that the
seats was free;
walked in at the open door, an up the center
aisle
An sat down tired, but happy, in the light Of
Elsies smile. -........
listened to your preachin' with an "Amen" in
my heart;
An when the hymns was given out, I tried to
do my part.
An my love seemed newly kindled for the one
great Power above,
An somethin' seemed to answer back, "For
love, l give thee love"
But when the benediction come an we was
passin out,
A few words whispered with my name, caused
me to turn about
Twas not exactly words like these, but that
which meant it all;
cts strange that pdaperS never know their
place is by the wall"
1t wasn't bout myself cared, for what the
speaker said;
But the little blossom at my side with pretty
upturned head.
An lookin' down at Elsie there, thought of
Elsies mother,
An thoughts my better natur' scorned, tried
in vain to smother.
I've been to meetin twice since then, an set
down by the WALL
But kept thinkn- thin kin'-till my thoughts
was turned to gall;
An when the old familiar hymns was given out
to sing.
One look at Elsie's shinin' curls would choke
my utterin'.
An So thought it best awhile to stay at home
an praise,
Or take a walk in field or wood and there trace
out His ways.
'lt's better So my old heart said, "than gather
with the throng.
An let your feelins rankle DER areal or fancied
wrong
But I'm prayin" Parson, all the time, an wish
you'd help me pray,
When one an all are gathered home, in the
great comm day;
When men are judged by honest deeds, an love
to fellow men,
I shant be thought pauper, in the light I'm
seen in then.

INGENIOUS BEGGARS.
Two Incidents That for Their Ingenuity
stand UnrvaIed.

Have you ever been accosted in the
street by a seedy, dilapidated indi-
vidual with q luminous nose and a
husky voice, who opened on you some
thing in this style: Excuse me, sir,
but could | have a few minutes CONVEX
sation with you? | have not always
been thus" etc. OF course you have.
You know in minute that he is pro-
fessional beer worker. You have some
respect for the haggard, brawny fellow
who says frankly: II am hungry and
thirsty" and seldom let him go empty
handed. There are two incidents that
occur to me that for their ingenuity
stand unrivaled. The first one &C.
cured at Chicago year ago last
winter. The writer, in company with
friend, was standing one Sunday
evening on the steps of the Clarendon
Hotel when very tough-looking man
approached with weeks growth of
beard on his face and said: Il am a
thief have just been released from
Joliet prison. want ten cents for a
drink, ten more for a bed, ten for
cocktail in the morning. and ten for
sandwich, forty cents in all. My
recommend is nothing extra, I am
aware. Talk quick, will you give it,
or shall have to try further?" The
supreme check of the man gained him
the amount asked. The other incident
was in Union Square Park, New York,
as party of us were coming from the
theater. We were stopped BY a ragged
individual with small kitten in his
arms. He opened the conversation
Immediately and said: gents, maybe
you think l am going to spar you for
money, but l amt. | am not hungry
or thirsty and have a place to sleep,
but have no cash. want few PEN
MES, not for myself, but to buy some
milk for this poor little starving cat.
which l found crying in this park"
The party was for moment stunned,
but amid roars of laughter purse of
nearly dollar was collected and given
to the guardian of ths kitten. Albany

LIFE IN MADRID.
The Spanish Capitals Prado and It's Sedic
tive Attractions.

Although the French Fashionable
bonnets are gradually invading Spin
and becoming much in vogue among
the Spanish bellies. the elegant national
costume, the mantilla, is still pred0nl-
mating. 1t is worn and arranged with
a natural grace which enchants thebe-
holder. A Spanish lady seems always
to have some little matter to adjust
which sets off to advantage the quiet
elegance of her department. The man
tilla is drawn little more forward or
gently moved little less; it is crossed
in front or uncrossed, and through its
transparent network of blonde lace are
seen the lovely head and beautiful
throat rising from bust of most ele-
giant contour. These mantillas are both
white and black, but the latter are, to
my taste, the most becoming.
And the abanico! the fan! o, what
magic there is in that little zephyr
coaxing telegraph! Folded and IN
folded with careless ease which none
but Spanish women can display, moved
quickly in recognition of passing
friend, elevated. opened over the head
to frame it, so to speak, the fan plays
an important and most attractive part
in the hand of Spanish lady. During
the delightful summer nights, when
the moon sheds her pure light around,
the Prado presents the most romantic
picture. Canopied by the blue vault
of heaven, with all its bright spangles,
many q love tale is there told and
listened to with favor. In the Prado
is assembled nightly the cream Of the
society of Madrid, and it may be SD
with truth that there is sociabilft,
on this beautiful promenade that doe
not exist in places of analogous resort
in larger metropolitan cities. Indi
viduals and families are known to eacl
other, there is a succession of saluta
tions and greetings, and to looker-o
it seems as if the promenaders wer

dens, called "las delicias," which ad
join the Prado, add greatly to tn
beauty of this lovely promenade.

"kEEPlNo COMPANY"
A singular Custom Which Is as lndelicate
as 1t Is Dangerous.

as 1t Is Dangerous.
A singular custom prevails IN some
of the rural parts of Pennsylvania and
the other Middle States which Will
surprise such of our readers as are
used only to the habits OF city life. On
Sunday evenings the parlor Is aban-
doned by all of the family except the
Young girls, who, arrayed in all their
finery, sit there prepared to keep
company with the young men who are
supposed to be their lovers, or to
whom they are engaged. No older
person is expected to enter the room;
the seance lasts until midnight. On
other days of the week the engaged
couple meet openly in the kitchen or
elsewhere, and carry on their re-
searches into each others character in
the presence OF the whole family.
In some villages of Northern New
England it is common for young girls
to entertain their male visitors alone
until late at night, long after the rest
of the family are asleep.
The Companion would not deserve
its name, SO far as the multitudes of
Young girls are concerned to whom it
has been friend since their childhood,
if it failed faithfully to warn them
Isl 4anY. gross solecism in good
Manners, or of any habit which may
lead them into contempto or temptation
In city life, among well-bred people
whose aim it is to make a young girls
life not only pure in reality, but in its
outward appearance, such customs as
these which we have described are
vigorously condemned and avoided.
A girl belonging to this class receives
her male friends at night only in the
presence of her mother or some other
matron.
1t is probable that the young girls in
the country who practice these habits
are at heart quite as innocent as their
more protected sisters. Their error
arises from ignorance, not viciousness.
These customs have descended to them
from the early pioneer days, when men
were too busy at the pillow in daytime
and women in the kitchen to become
acquainted with each other, prepara-
tory to marriage. They had to sit up
while others slept to find time for
courtship. Their descendants are
surely not so taxed for time as to make
this necessary.
American mothers sometimes de-
lend the laXity among our young peo-
pie by the plea that the innocence of
the American girl is her protection,
and that she is too pure to need the
guardianship of chaperones. To an
extent this is true; but no girl can
place herselfin the anomalous positions
which we have described without los
ing in degree that delicacy of wo-
manly feeling which should accompany
her as the aroma does a flower.
Besides, however good and true she
may be. she places her reputation at
the mercy of the tongue of a man who,
lit is possible, may be both sensual and
ss,-d merciless. No girl of refinement
and no thoughtful mother should coun-
tenance a custom so indicate and
dangerous. outh's Companion.

Effect of Creosote on Chinneys.

Attention has lately been called to
the peculiarly corrosive and conse-
quently destructive effect of the creo-
sote of wood SCOT upon chimneys, ow-
ing to the fact that the creosote thus
formed from the slow combustion OF
wood contains so large a proportion of
pyroligenous vinegar or crude acetic
acid; this acid being formed in large
quantities when the combustion OF
wood is slow, many quarts, in fact, be-
ing condensed in cold weather where q
large wood fire is very much checked,
only few hours being required for
such condensation. The acid in ques-
ton dissolves lime readily, carrying it
away in solution, and in this manner
the mortar is frequently entirely re-
moved from the tops of chimneys in the
country, new ones suffering the same
way as the old, instances being numer-
Gus where the top courses of brick in
chimneys only two years old have be-
come entirely without support other
than that afforded by the sand with
which the lime was mixed.

OPENING THE NEE PIERCE IN
DIAN RESERVATION.

We re-publish on our first page the
Act Of Congress approved February g.
1887. known as the "Severalty Act
under the provisions Of which the initial
..eps have been taken to open the Nee
Perez Indian reservation. BY reference
TO the act the number Of acres to be
allotted to each Indian. the method OF
allotment, and all the details OF the
work can be easily understood. BY
virtue of this Act Of Congress, early in
July, 1887, President Cleveland desig-
mated some twenty reservations for survey
and allotment. All these reservations
we're favorably situated as to their lands,
and all Of the Indians have treaty stipula.
tioss as to survey and allotment. On
number Of these reservations allotments
had already been made under the treaty
stipulations, but in most of these cases
the amount Of the laud to be thus
allotted was in smaller quantities than
that provided by the Severalty bill, and
the allotment limited to the adults Of the
tribe. The Nee Perez Indians had had
4 portion Of their reservation surveyed
under the treaty of 1868, aud allotments
Of twenty acres made to adult males Of
the tribe. This allotment has never been
fully carried out In the tribe, and as the
people ranked we'll 10 the estimation OF
the Indian Department, it was urged
that the Nes Perces were fit subject for
the Severalty Act, which would give
them more generous allowance Of land
than their treaty provided, and place the
tribe upon better agricultural and
Industrial footing. For these reasons
the Ncz Perces were among those
DESIGNATED for allotment BY Mr.. Cleve-
land iu July, 1887. Owing to the lack
Of experienced agents to perform this
particular works, and the want Of suf.
foeut appropriations by congress, the
commencement of the allotment to the
Mes Perces has been delayed. During
last month, Miss Alice G. Fletcher, a
highly accomplished lady and much
experienced in this particular work,
arrived at Lapwai Agency, and entered
upon the work of alloting the lands to
the Mes Perces. The President could
mot have made 4 better appointment.
In addition to her eminent fitness,
accomplishments, and experience IN this
sort Of work, Miss Fletcher has exhibited
sincere interest 10 the civilization and
citizenship Of the Indians aud has already
successfully allotted their lands to the
Omaha aud Winnebago tribes. She is
the author Of book entitled "lndian
Education and Civilization" and pub
lished by order Of Congress. We re-
gard it as exceedingly fortunate that
Miss Fletcher was designated to perform
the work at Lapwai. Aud let our
citizens have an especial care that they
render her every possible aid 10 accom-.
plishing her mission, which will prove
blessing to the Indians, and open up for
settlement one Of the most fertile sections
Of land in the United States.

Supplies have arrived at Mineral Point
and accommodations are being provided
for the comfort Of the survivors. The
same arrangements are being made At
Conemaugh and Woodvale.
One or two cases Of pneumonia are
reported At these places, but none are
serious. Measles and sorethroat have

epidemic was feared.
l.. d. Smith Of the Gautier Steel
Works at Wooivsle, has issued an order
requesting all employees to report at the

The mill, which manufactured steel
railway specialties, is to be removed to
Moxham, another suburb of Johnstown.
This will leave only the WOODEN mill and
chemical works in Woodvale. The
removal will be serious blow to its
future prosperity. The new site is
located on Stoney creek, near the
