coat, put on an old smoking jacket and
encase his feet In a pair Of morocco
slippers, which latter always occupied
the same position on his bedroom floor
preparatory 10 his coming. Accord
ingly they firmly nailed these slippers
TO the floor and awaited results IN the
next room,
Presently the dominic returned, They
heard him moving about; they heard the
thud of his shoes as they were taken OIL
and thrown down, and then all was
silence. They peeped cautiously IN
and there beheld the young clergyman
standing Ia his slippers. hls face white

A Visit to DIR. Levin.

A press representative had the
pleasure of a visit to DIR. levin at
the Windsor Hotel yesterday, and
was surprised, indeed, to learn how
much pains one had to take in ex-
amining and fitting the eyes.
His office is divided into light
and dark room, the former to ex-
anime the exterior and the latter
for the examination of the interior
part of the eye. The methods en-
ployed are also OF different and the
most practical kinds. He uses a
set of French test lenses, charts to
ascertain myopia and hyperme-
tropia, and another for astryma-
tism. In his dark room he uses
the ophtalmoscope, an instrument
which enables the examiner to see
the inner parts of the eye, thus en-
abling him to ascertain whether
any defects of the nerve or retina
| or other parts of the eye exists.
For want of space We cannot &C
into more details, but will cay
that visit to the Doctors Office
will prove very interesting, as he
gives most cheerfully any desired
information. Looking over thu
Doctors books we found that hs
has met with liberal patronage
since being with US, and We car
only wish him continued success
which he undoubtedly deserves.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1890-04-10

Said a smart girl the other day:
81 have often wondered why young
men working on salaries and with
out connections as the possess
ion of wealthy parents or kinsmen
is termed. are admitted into the
best society, while girl who works
for a living is not even recognized
by her more fortunate schoolmates.
The young man need not be special
ly attractive mentally or physically
in fact he may be downright sim
pie but il he wears good clothes,
keeps dark during business hours,
and avoids the use of 'ain't' and
don't and gives distinct accent
to the final 'g,' in ing he pass
es muster in society. Accomplish.
ed, beautiful and intelligent poor
girls can not force themselves into
the circles of the elite if they work
for a living; though, if they are
mean enough to sponge upon their
struggling parents, they are extend.

Value of the JERSEY.

A prominent Jersey breeder of
Cooperstown, N. Y, writing to the
Jersey Bulletin, says: "Good, fair
Jersey COWS are worth from 500
upwards, and heifer calves cannot
be bought for less than $50 when a
week old. Common dairy COWS do
not net the farmers on an average
over S35 per year, SO you will see
that good Jersey COW, dropping a
heifer calf, has already paid her
owner as much as the ordinary
COW. In other words, one thor
oughbred Jersey, it she will drop a
heifer calf each year is worth more
than two common cows. The
Jersey calf worth $50, the best ma
tive cow is worth s35, and it seems
to me that it requires 10 great
mental strain to see where the
greater profit is"

a Touching Letter,


Uncle Aaron McPike celebrated
his seventy fifth birthday last week
He Is hale, hearty and good for 20
years more of this life. Few men
have ever made a greater success of
this life than Mr. Mcpike. BY
untiring energy aud good business
Judgment he has amassed fortune,
and uses it hberally in all phi
lanthroplc enterprises. AS he now
rests III the downy depths of the
snow drifts of age, he can look
back over his career and say that
he has made the world better for
having lived in it. In business
and political affairs he is quick and
definite and liz his determination to
consummate that which he believes
is right he may seem dogmatic. But
it is not in the worlds strife when
armed and masked we meet that
men are rightly judged. When the
armor is put off and the mask has
fallen the soft light of home brings
out in many rugged life the tints
and hues of heaven, and it is
particularly SO in the nature of Mr..
McPike, as the following simple,
yet touching letter, which he wrote
on his seventy-fifth birthday to his
sister-inlaw, Mrs Jane Culbertson.
There is no effort in placing words,
but the language is the mirror Of
the feelings of u strong man. The
letter is as follows:
| MRS. JANE CULBERTsoN.-The
sun is shining brightly and every
thing looks cheerful this morning
We have had breakfast. / milked
and got breakfast. Mike fed and
cleaned up the dishes and pots and
other things.
Thisis my seventy fifth birthday,
and while We should not murmer al
Gods providence, while I look back
at my condition-what 1T is now
and what it was one year ago
find that there is great link Out
! of the chain which forms our faml.
ly circle. It never can be suppl
ed while here on this earth. AS
am trying to scribble these few
lines the binding tears are flowing
down my cheeks, but alas they
will not bring back that dear lovet
one who, while she was all th'
world to me, was taken from me
AARON MCPIKE.
