The Coming of Baby.

When baby comes to tue house
real happiness comes. The care and
anxiety count for nothing against
the clinging touch Of the little hands
and the sound of the little voice.
The highest function given to hu-
man beings is bringing healthy, hap
py children into the world. Over
thirty years ago the needs Of women
appealed to DIR. Pierce, now chief
consulting physician to the Invalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Of
Buffalo, N. Y. The result of bis
study improved by thirty years OF
practice is embodied 10 DIR. Pierce's
Favofite Prescription. 1t strength

weak.women the strength and health
necessary for the production Of
healthy children and it mskes the

Miss Mary Garrett, of Baltimore,
is worth $lS,O0O,OOO. She is not
the only millionaire spinster that the
country can boast OF, although she
is the richest by several millions.
The number OF unmarried women
bcyond the allotted age Of girlhood
who lave fortune of at least ST.
100000 is not small. This news may
send shiver of excitement through
the greedy frames Of impoverished
titled gentlemen abroad, but it will
be we'll for them TO understand that
these ladies have successfully with
stood the Establishments OF matri-
monially inclined persons for stme
time, and there is every probability
OF their continuing to do so.
The five richest American spins
tiers are Miss Mary Garrett, Miss
Gwendollne Caldwell, oil KENTUCKY,
Miss Anna Leary, Of New York;
Miss Grace Dodge, of New York, and
Miss Jennie Flood, Of California.
The fortunes ofthese aggregate s42,
100000, quite respectable sum for
five unmarried ladies TO control, and
the peculiar part Of it is that each Of
these is her own financial manager,
governing her fortune with rare bus
mess discrimination, and increasing
it by staple investments year by
year. Moreover these five women
have done more good in the word
by far than the FIVE richest married
or unmarried men in the country
They have charming personalities
have wide circles of friends ard

the grand flag measuring twelve feet
was removed, but the little pole was
not meant for such flag and every
time it was raised or lowered, it was
torn and in three month"; time ii
would be in rags. Eight large holes
are already in it. Who win give
money to replace it il the money
gathered for the pole was not put to

was a tscit understanding that The
Pine Hill School should have the ex-
ira flag if preparations were made to

all they could 10 help gather money
to pay for our pole. The Pine Hill
School never gave a round red

were too poor to put up flag even

VAIN MAN.

More than half century since these
lines were found in the Royal Coilege Of
Surgeons, London, beside skeleton, re-
markable for its symmetry Of form. They
were subsequently published in the Lon.
don Morning Chronicle, and vain effort
made to ascertain the author, even by of
fering a reward of fifty guineas:
Behold this ruin Twas skull
Once of ethereal full;
This narrow cell was life's retreat,
This place was thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filed this spot
With dreams of pleasure long forgot
Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor fear
Have left one trace of record here.
Beneath this Wondering canopy
Once shown the bright and busy eve
But start not at the dismal void
If social love that eye employed,
If with no lawless fire it CLEANED.
But through the dews ofkindness beamad,
That eye shall be forever bright
When sun and stars are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tunefl tongue.
If falsehood's honey is disdained,
And when it could not praise was chained
If bold in virtues cause it spoke.
Yet gentle concord never broke;
The silent tongus shall plead for thee,
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did those fingers delve the mine,
Or with the enyied ruby shine
To hew the rock, or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought
These hands richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on wealth or fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod,
These feet the path of duty trod ?
If from the bowers of ease they fled
To seek the aff1iction's humble shed
1t grandeur's guilty bride they spurned,
Aud home to virtues cot returned
These feet with angels wings shall rise,
And tread the palace of the skies.

PERIL A pang OF anguish passed
through her when she thought of
this.
What should she do?
She looked about wildly.
All the mlkweedl The hill was
covered with it. Her knowledge of
botsny was not useless.
Running to the verge of the cliff,
she cried out:
"What is the longest possible time
you can hold on ~
Twenty or twenty-five minutes
said Mark, fesbly.
"Then for heavens sake cling I"
Rushing back, she pulled up q
score of the largest etocks of milk
weed. Selecting one,..she rolled the
fiber into cord or string.
How often had she seen her teach.
er do this when botanizing. She
knew the cord thus formed to be
very strong, capable of supporting
at least twenty five pounds. Four
of these twisted together made a
substantial rope, but they we're SO
short-not more than two feet in
length.
Milkweed after milkweed succumb-
ed to her deft fingers, until at length
by frequent splicing, she had a rope
ten feet long and four strands strong.
1t would easily bear one hundred
pounds. This was enough--his own
efforts, aided by the projecting
rocks and assures, would accomplish
the rest.
Kitty, in spite of her celebrity, was
nearly twenty minutes manufactur-
ing the rope. She knew that Marks
strength must besmost gone.
Hearing her approach the brink
alone the poor fellow llost all cour-
age, supposing her unknown mission
had failed.
"Good-bye, Kitty, L"
so, Mark Hold onl Hold on
minute longer !" and she flung him
the rope.
He summoned up all his strength.
Seeing the rope he took it in his
hands and said with surprise:
"Will it hold 2"
eyes; your whole weight, proba-
bly,. But that will not be necessary.
Let me know when you are ready"
"Brace yourselfl If I am too
much of burden let go instantly /;
for heavens sake don't let me pull
you over the precipice. Ready?'
Up, up he goes, his hope lending
him superhuman strength. He makes
every projection and depression oil
the rock contribute to his support.
His feet often slip, but the rope,with
the strong, brave girl at the farther
end, upholds him. A moment more,
and he falls fainting at the opof the
cliff.
Kitty is about to faint, but seeing
his condition, RECEIVERS herself, and
hastens to neighboring spring for
water. Mark soon revives, but his
mind is somewhat clouded. Look
ing around, he says:
psTbe flower! Where is the flow
err"
"Never mind that, d e r"-he
thought she said "dear," but was SO
nearly unconscious as never to be
sure-"it is safe. Don't talk now,
until you are feeling better"
A few minutes and he is himself
again.
Holding up the flower. bruised and
broken, which he has clung to with
a lovers care through all his peril
lie says:
mot much of gift, but I got it
for YOU"
"Why, it is forgetme-no' ! cries
