PHYLLIS.

Hears not my Phyllis how the birds
Their feAthered mates salute?
They tell their passion in their words;
Must 1 alone be mute"
Phyllis, without frown or smile,
Sat and knotted all the while.
The god of love in thy bright eyes
Does like a tyrant reign;
But in thy heart a child he lies,
Without his dart or flame.
Phyllis without frown or smile,
Sat and knotted all the while.
So many months in silence past,
And yet in raging love,
Might well deserve one word at last
My passion should approve.
Phyllis, without frown or smile,
Sat and knotted all the while.
Must then your faithful swain expire.
And not one look obtain,
Which he, to soothe his fond desire.
Might pleasingly explain?
Phyllis, without frown or smile,
Sat and knotted all the while.

THE CHARM HAD GONE.

THE worst part of making any much
needed renovation in ones house"
complained a perplexed housekeeper,
according to the New York Tribune,
rs not that it is so difficult to do the
thing itself, but it is what it involves
that makes one hesitate. For instance"
she continued, my drawing room,
which l have always thought delight
full in color, with it's mellowed tints of
white enamel and old embroidery, has
been Just the same for the last fifteen
years and might just as well have
gone on for fifteen years more, If, un-
luckily, 1 had not taken it into my
head that the garlands on the Louis
XVII mirrors looked dingy and need
ed repainting. There are four oval
mirrors in the room, all with white
frames with garlands of flowers hang
ing over the glass-lovely mirrors ev-
cry one says so, Il had the painter
come and he made them all clean and
bright with white enamel. How dirty
the clean mirrors make the wall paper
look.' was the first remark of my hus-
band, as ne viewed the new improve
ment. I think l must give you a, new
wall paper Then the white wooden
NalnScotS, and the cornlceS, ana beams
in the ceiling must be re-enamelled, l
declared. They would look too shabby
for anything Yes, 1 suppose So, he
replied rather ruefully, but the neces-
sity seemed obvious, and SO a lovely
wall paper was chosen, and the VAIN
scot and ceiling re-enamelled. Of
course the bills were something awful,
and now I do not dare to say that ev-
erything else has suddenly become
dingy. The parquette floor needs a
complete scraping and new polish, the
covered furniture looks soiled and fad
ed and ought to be re-upholstered. The
Old embroidery that 1 used to be so
proud Of looks out of place and frayed.
The rugs are worn and show their
age. While the worst part of it all
is that the expensive Improvements
have quite taken away the charm Of
the place, and the harmonious beauty
OF my drawing room has disappeared"

BEAUTY AND OLD AGE.

1t is no longer disgrace for wom-
an to be old or to look DID," provided
she retains in her maturity those
graces and accomplishments that lend
charm to the sex at any age. says an
exchange. Woman has made notable
advances in the last fifty years, but
none more marked than that which
records her ability to retain her beauty
long after she has acknowledged her
self to be growing old.
This achievement was the despair of
the woman whose survivors compose
the grandmothers of the twentieth CEN
fury. In the days when they were
young most women led contracted lives.
The house where they presided was
their world: all outside of that circle
Was practically an unknown sphere
Usually they were mothers of large
families of children. the rearing of
which taxed them heavily with con-
slant cares and services. They did
more and harder work than the women
of to-day. They had very little diver
sion, consequently they aged quickly.
At IS the average woman had few per-
sonal charms of which she could be
Justly proud. She looked older thar
the woman of so now. Compare pic
lures of women of the two periods fol-
further information.
The woman of the present enjoys a
wider field of action. She has solved
her domestlcity TO such an extent that
it does not narrow or blunt her life.
With only moderate means she travels
both at home and abroad. She finds
more time for pleasure. Her home is
only the center of her world. not all
of it, Besides, she has more of the art
of personal adornment. Her toilet ie
more becoming, helps to make her look
young. At so she is at middle life
only, in the matter of facial charms,
and may be called beautiful for many
years TO come.
The retention of her beauty is wom-
ans first and chiefest emancipation.

derson's and the standard inventions
that come down through generation
after generation.
Next to the fairy tales and the al
legories come the historical legends
These are for the older children and
are of great value in teaching history
Everyone, child or adult, likes the
stories of the heroes and if you narrate
your history in the form of a story
about some great man or woman you
will not only hold the attention, but
you will fix in the hearers mind the
facts of the story. -"

WOMEN WHO ARE PUSSY.

There are many types of the fussy
woman. One of the most conspicuous
is she who is a crank on the sub
jects of physiology and hygiene. Such
a woman is continually encountering
unreasonable persons, who will not
hearken to her advice and who con-
sequently get themselves into trouble,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
They will wear thick clothing fnstead
of thin and thin when they ought to
wear thick. They will persist in get
ting irrational enjoyment out of dane
ing, although people have been known
to take cold afterward and die of
pneumonia. They eat fruit with mi
croscopic seeds after she has threaten
ed them with appendicitis. They sleep
on their left sides-or, indeed, on their
backs or in any other position which
happens to be omfortable-instead of

The Anonymous.

The receipt of an apparently harmless and
innocent looking persona" without the
writer's endorsement leads us to repeat the
standing affirmation of all publishers that
no anonymous contributions will appear in
these columns. Through an oversight, with.
in the past two years, such communication
did appear in this paper and it turned out to
lie untruthful and palpably written with VIC
ious and dishonorable intent. 1t occurs at
times that correspondents forget to sign and
at others that they, not knowing the rule,
do so purposely but without any wrongful
intent, the subject matter being truthful,
square and harmless A publisher, however,
is in no position to adiudge safely the true
and the false, hence, for his own protection
and that Of the public he is compelled to re.
ject every anonymous contribution.

when II is not convenient to pay even a bill

been an inconvenent season for such large

are by no means close or harsh collector
and we press no one unduly, but when SO

newed upon all who may not have respond

PatrOnize the Chair Car.

The Western Maryland railroad has put a
chair car on tho train that passes this point,
going east at SIG a. M, going west at CAT p.
M, and will continue it if practicable.
For fiftv cents this decided comfort is at
tainable and it is sincerely to be hoped that
the patronage will warrant continuance of
the service. Beyond the comfort afforded,
its protection to clothing compared TO other
coaches, is an item of savings that should be
set of against this small additional charge
for six,y-mile ride in a roomy, adjustable
individual seat in car that is clean and well
ordered IN all its appointments. There are
many half dollars expended for which very
much less real value is received than for that
paid to secure the satisfaction of trip In the
chair car.
