husband
Miss Wilberforcc possessed, in re-
marlSable degree, the quick intuition
peculiar to her sex, and after watching
the countenances of Mr.. and Mrs. I'M
derhill for few moments, and recol-
lecting that what Mr.. Underhill had
said showed that he still loved his wife,
she came to the conclusion that they
really desired reconciliation, but that
each was too proud to make any over
lures. 1t was peculiar situation, in
which three, and perhapsafour, persons
were uncomfortable The circum-
stances threatened to widen the gul
between the estranged married couple,
and to draw the lovers into serious
misun understanding
Now, Miss Wilberforce, as has been
mentioned, did not possess an -unbend-
ing will; she could yield to the wishes
Of others or make concessions for the
benefit of her friends, when BY SO do
ing she neither transgressed moral
rule nor compromised her self-respect.
She was sensible, and did not believe
in cndangering the happiness Of herself
and acquaintances by maintaining q
barrier Of false pride. In reality her
character was broader and stronger
than that Of persons who plume them
selves on the possession Of unbending
Wills, She believed that it only re-
quired little judicious maneuveripg

sons who were either jealous and

VALUE OF WALKING TO HEALTH.

Few things, If any, are so effsctual in
building up and sustaining the physical
organization as walking, if resolutely and
judiciously followed. II is a perfect exer-
else. 1t taxes the entire system, When
you walk properly, every member and
thing te do. The arms swing backward
and forward, keeping step, as it were, with
the legs; the chest expands and contracts
as the lungs fill and discharge; the drum
mer- boys pulse beats a tune for the march;
the legs curve aud straighten; the feet rise
and fall, while the lead rides over all but
not as a dead head. Every sense it has
employed, every faculty alert. The nos
trils expand to quaff the breeze; the ears
turn to every sound; the eyes roll in their
sockets, sweeping from left to right, from
earth to sky; the brain is at work through
all its parts. Progress under such condi-
tions is the very eioquence of physical
motion. What is the effect? The flesh is
selidifed; the lungs grow strong and sound;
tue cuSst eutaTSes, the linus are rOuuOeQ
out; tie tendons swell and tougher: the
figure rises in heighth and dignity, and is
clothed with grace and supleness. Hun
tiers, who walk much, are tall and straight
while s%1iIors. who scarcely walk at all, are
low and squat. The whole mar is ID Develop
ed, rot the body merely. The mind is
broadened by contemplation of creations
works, the soul is enlarged, the Imagination
brighter ed. the spirits eheered, the temper
sweetened. The moral forces are strength
ened equally with the physical. \ loftier
reyerential feeling is awakened, If not a
profound religious sentiment. No one who
rightly walks the fields and groves, or
climbs the heights beneath the heavenly
dome, With its blazing sun by day, and its
moon and countless stars by night, but is
irresistibiy drawn toward the infinite, as he
''looks through Nature up to Natures

Life.

The world was made when a man was born;
He must taste for himself the forbidden
springs,
He can never take warning from old fashioned
things;
He must fight as a boy. he must drink as a
youth,
He must kiss, he must love. he must swear to
the truth
OF the friend of his soul, he must laugh to
scorn
The hint of deceit in a woman'se eyes
That are clear as the wells of Paradise.
And SO he goes on. till the world grows old,
Till his tongue has grown cautious, his heart
has grown cold,
Till the smile leaves his mouth, and the ring
leaves his laugh.
And he shirks the bright headache sou ask him
to quaff;
He grows formal with men, and with women
polite.
And distrustfui of both when they're out Of his
sight:
Then he eats for his palate, and drinks for his
head,
And loves for his pleasure and It's time he
was deadi

Loves Forever.

Then must we really part forever"
Some rashly spoken word had chilled her,
And ~scornfully she turned away
From the soft speech whose potent sway
Had evening after evening thrilled her.
Responsive to the plaintive plea
That certified his hearts endeavor,
She glanced at him disdainfully,
And cold as rolls the polar sea
Her voice pronounced the word "Tcr-
ever.
A sob! A moani With leaden feet
From the veranda he descended,
Trod r~uefully the murky street
Praying to find a winding sheet,
And whatsoever with II blended
This woe must cease.r' he said, then laid
His hand upon a dagger straightway;
A gasp a shudderi then the blade
Was pocketed, and tracks were made
Back toward the cruel maiden's gateway.
A form rushed out, four arms did lock
As il they never meant to sever;
A simultaneous labial shock,
And twenty minutes by the clock
Had marked the bounds of love forever.

The Girls of Ninety-one..

The Girls of Ninety-one.
They tell me twas the fashion.
Oh, long and long ago.,
For girls to look like lilies white,
And sit at home and sew.
Forth strobe their sturdy brothers,
On many a gallant quest;
But the maids behind the lattice
Their weary souls possessed.
Today the times have altered,
And pretty Kate and Nell
Are playing merry tennis
In sooth they do it well.
They ride across the country,
They climb the mountain side,
And with oars that feather lightly,
Along the rivers glide.
II they've not yet been to college,
They are going by and by,
To shake the tree of knowledge,
Though its branches touch the sky;
For all their Greek and Latin.
And porting over books,
With faces smooth as satin,
They'll keep their dainty looks
Do you want a happy comrade,
In study or in fun?
Be sure you'll find her quickly
Mid the girls OF ninety-one.
She'll keep that bright head steady,
Unframed in any whirl,
And not a lad will love her less
Because she is a girl.

The Old, 0td Story.
If 1 had told her in the spring
The old, old story briefly,
When the sparrow and robin began to sing
And the blowing was over chiefly.
But haste makes waste, and the story sweet,
Ireasoned, will keep through the sowing;
Till l drop the corn and plant the wheat,
And give them a chance for growing.
Had / even told the tale Of June.
When the wind through the grass was
blowing,
Instead of thinking ii rather too soon
And waiting till after the moving.
Or had ! limited out under the stars
That | knew a story worth hearing,
Lingering to put up the pasture bars,
Nor waited to do the shearing.
Now the barn is full, and so is the bin.
But I've grown wise without glory,
Since love is the crop not gathered in
For my neighbor told her the story.

Come home, tired half to death:
But | feel a perfect rest

In the face Of Fate and swear,

With red murder in my heart;

Do Your Own Painting.

You can get a half-pint can of sherwin
i williams ready-mixed liquid paint in
IA colors or shades for l3cts, a pint for 2octs,
or more at less rates, IL good brush for l0ctS,
and find it not only a saving, but a pleasure
also, to brighten up such OF your furniture or
housekeeping utensils as need 1t. Nearly
every home must have about it some OF the
following articles which need painting:
Baby Carriage, Box or Bench, Tables,
Bucket or Barrel, Bird House, Cupboard,
Coal Box, Garden Tools, Hitching Post,
Old Furniture, window Sash, Blinds,
Harrows, Piows, Pumps, Pals,
Chairs, Desk, Wagons, Etc.
The paint is the very best, being mixed with
pure linseed oil, is a quick dryer, and gives a
high gloss to all work it is used on. The Sher-
win Williams Company make the highest
grade paint on the market to-day, (all other
dealers are willing TO own to this). and while
the price on some of their goods is q tribe
more, the covering qualities are greater and
the lasting qualities much more permanent.
Our store at the corner IS painted with it.
You can see what it looks like. We are pre-
pared to furnish it from a half-pint can to
such quantities as might be required to paint
q town, at the manufacturers lowest rates.
Those who think OF painting might save
money by seeing US.

Of blood from a cut in his temple was

drew himself up haughtily and inquired:
"5ir, de you mean to say that you have

who have had the miserable efroutery to
s~tigmatize me as a dude?-'
at is true, Reginald, " confessed the old

lily, confess your error. Admit that | am
