thought of the matter, as he did once in
awhile for the next year, that his pre-
cious bit ofsmischief had come to naught.
Nellie said nothing to Laura, ever; she
thought the letter had no doubt been
lost, and when news came two years
after of Jenny Dauvray's marriage to
Jack Davenport she was glad she had
never questioned Jenny as to the mat
ter; really Miss Dauvray had forgotten
all about the thing after it was mailed,
and did not answer Nelly's letter for three
months, and then only in the briefest
and stiffest fashion, for even then she
was becoming absorbed in Jack.
But the obnoxious valentine did a
good work for Laura; had it never come
she might have gone on bemoaning her
recreant lover, hoping against hope for
his return, till the news of his marriage
would have smitten her to the heart.
Now she was as much Disguised as

that he waxed fat and smiling as never

Laura's pale roses blushed warmly
again; she began to laugh inwardly al
her past folly, her fleeting anguish; she
was so young that she could recover
and be thankful.
And the recovery was confirmed BY
the appearance in Swanfield of a new
minister, not too young, but good, kind
ly and thorough gentleman. The first
time Mr.. Vernon saw Laura Lamb he
was struck by her likeness to the wife
he had lost three years before; this is ar
infallible symptom in widowers; il
seems to point out their duty, if no
their pleasure. And Laura liked Mr.
Vernon at first sight; she liked him bet

her the question, having fully made W

she loved him! So she did, and discov

FIRESIDE FRAGMENTS.

Have fruit on the table at every

it. Eat fruit when you first sit down to
the table.
Pounded Cheese: Pound half pound
of dry cheese with two tablespoonful
of butter, add a teaspoonful of mustard,
a little cayenne pepper and pounded
mace. Spread on bread and eat.
Drop Biscuit: One quart of flour,
three teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
sifted in the flour; lard the size of an
egg, one pint of sour milk, one teaspoon
full of soda, little salt; drop them in a
gem pan or muffin rings and bake in
quick oven.
Lemon Extract: Take the pulp of
two lemons and the peel of four, pour
over it half a pint of alcohol, let stand
one week, then strain out the pulp; re-
turn the skin, let stand another week
and strain again.-Farm and Fireside.
Cheese Sandwiches: Cut some thin
slices of brown bread, spread little
butter over them and lay on the top of
half the slices squares of cheese, put
them in baking-dish in hot oven I'M
til the cheese is melted, lay slice of
warm toast on the top of each slice OF

Explorer StanIey's Hair.

The correspondent who went up coun.
try to meet Stanley describes his hair as
being quite white. This he ascribes to
the privations of the expedition. But
those who met Mr.. Stanley when he was
formerly in this country will be re-
minded by the kilograms of an incident,
regarding which the great explorer was
some years ago twitted by his friends.
AS matter of fact, his hair had become
white long ago. But Mr.. Stanley did not
appreciate the venerable appearance
which his gray locks gave him. They
became black again good deal more
suddenly than they had grown white.
In view of the chance of another curious
change of this kind, it is rather awk-
ward that their present color should
have been so universally made known.

strongly advised Nelly to eliminate
Lamb from her work of art. inasmuch
as it was not poetic name, and sug-
gested "clam," SHAM" ISLAM" and
various other words quite ineligible.
Therefore the following sentimental
lines were hammered out and intrusted
to Sam to copy:
"Im going to seal them with my new
seal that's got an old English D on it, "
said Nelly. Laura never saw that, nor
my box with the colored wax, and l
forgot to tell her about it when wrote

"Fiddlestick!" said scornful Sam.
"Well, gimme your varses and the
paper and I'll take 'em into the lib'ry
and copy 'em off,"
''I'm going over to Quantuck with
mother now, so you won't be disturbed"
"Bye-bye," calculated Sam, hurrying
into the library and unfolding Nelly's
paper, where he read:
Sweet Laura! in these laurel bowers
pine for Swanfield's fragrant flowers;
Can forget those blessed days
That shine so bright through Memory's hazei
All, no! when daylight floods the sky
And stars are vanishing on high,
think Of thee, my star Of dawn,
Amid thy roses on the lawn.
And when at evening in the west
The sun is sinking to his rest,
My heart goes longing DER the sea,
On wings of love to home and thee.
Sweeter than any rose thou art,
Have place within thy heart?
All, Laura thou art safe in mine

Nell did not answer. Sleigh bells
jingled outside; he ran to the window
and saw the sleigh just passing through
the gate, and speeding out of sight; the
horse was tired of waiting and went off
at his smartest trot.

With this whitening sarcasm on his

into the stove and saw them burn with
impish glee. Then he set himself to
work, and by dint ofPerseverance and
reflection devised his own jingle.

VALENTINES,


Suggestions for Dainty and Pretty Home
Made Ones.
When February's saint, Dan Cupid;
Regent of love-rhymes, lord of folded
arms" takes possession of the hearts of
youths and maidens, yes, and of the
hearts of the little folks, too, the de-
mand for valentines is sometimes great
er than the supply of pocket money.
But such pretty ones may be made at
home by the clever fingers of mother or
an older sister, that there need be no
dearth of the tender missives. Square
or panel-shaped cards may oe decorated
with water colors; little books may be
made, and with suitable selection of
sentiments are dainty and pretty gifts.
Take, for instance, a cardboard of
delicate gray tint, and of pebbled sur
face; cut from it the covers of the books,
which should be nine inches long by
four wide, fold in the center, making a
book four and one-half by four inches.
The leaves may be cut from architects
paper, and on them painted any senti-
ment that pleases If the old-time
rhyme:
Forget me not! only ask
This simple boon Of thee;
And let it be an easy task
Sometimes to think of me;''
is selected, one line may be lettered on
each leaf and at intervals single forget
me-nots or two or three flowers and
buds scattered over the page. The cover
may be lettered in blue and gold and
the leaves tied in with pale blue ribbon.
Panel cards with bunch of forget-me-
nots painted on them, and the same
verses, are pretty valentines.
One of the daintiest of valentines may
be made of cream-white satin ribbon
five inches wide and eleven inches long;
fringe the ends, then neatly sew to it
land sprinkle violet powder between)
another piece of the same ribbon which
has been decorated with some delicate
spray of flowers, trail of arbutus, for
example, or with scattered clusters of
wild-fowers, or rosebuds, and with
those exquisite lines of Henick's:
~ dare not ask kiss,
dare not beg q smile;
Lest having that or this,
Knight grow proud the while.
No, no, the utmost share
OF my desire shall be
Only to kiss that aire
That lately kissed thee"
A very charming illustrated valentine
may be made in book shape by taking q
piece of heavy drawing paper nine
inches long by six wide and folding to
make n book four and one-half inches
wide by six long, and fitting with leaves
of architects paper or of bristol board.
Letter the cover in unique fashion. II
"a Valentine to My Lady" are the
words chosen, put an ornamental capital
A in blue on silver disc and tie in the
leaves with silver cord and tassel. A
pretty verse for illustration is:
1.-THE sea hath its pearls,
The heaven hath its stars;'
But my heart my heart,
My heart hath it's love-"
A tiny marine view may head the first
page, and a moonlight scene the second,
while the decoration of the next two
may consist of ornamental lettering.
These few suggestions may bring
fresh ideas in their train, and with a
fair knowledge of the use of water
and perception in the adaptation of
designs and notices, valentines may be
made that will not only please the
younger members of the family, but
which will find ready sale.--Ada Marie
Peck, in Good Housekeeping.
