never owned. sheet of paper. but
had marked on any smooth surface
he had found. At this time he got
hold Of big copper cent. almost the
first money he had seen. The desire
of his heart could now be fulfilled.
He entrusted his coin to lumberman,
and asked him to buy a sheet Of paper
at Catskill. the lumber camp. twenty
miles away. Late that night the mes
senger returned. The boy, wearied
with waiting. had gone to bed. At
the sound Of the arrival, he awoke.
his first thought being of the promised
paper. He arose. and with feverish
eagerness tried to make characters
on the smooth, white surface. His
hand was too unframed, and the rude
characters little resembled letters.
Disappointed, he returned to bed only
to take up the struggle on the follow
ing days, and conquer the difficulties.
Paper he could rDt afford every day,
especially as he soon moved with his
father to the frontier, In Ohio. There,
birch bark. sand banks, snow drifts
End ice were his most frequent wri-
ting surfaces. His schooling was very
meager-a few months when he was
twelve years old-so he had to dig
out his own learning by pickering
candlelight. Books were scarce, and
worth any hardship to procure. To
continue the study OF arithmetic. he
had to have . book, and heard he
could get one twenty miles away. 1t
was winter and he had no shoes, but
he walked barefoot on the frozen
ground and secured his treasure.
Darkness came on and found him
miles from home. His only food had
been frozen turnips, found in q field.
At length he found settlers cabin.
where he was sheltered for the night.
Under such conditions, he acquired
fair education and developed . sys-
tenn Of .penmanship that for years
was almost universal in American
schools. spencerisn business colleges
were established in forty cities. The
boy who learned writing with so much
dimculty made the task easier for
thousands Of boys and girls, and lived
. beautiful and useful life ON the
shores OF Lake Erie, where he lies
buried. at Geneva, ohio.-"success."

lively as II he had said, Come with
me! Come everybody"
Everybody came. Boxer frisked
along proudly at the head Of the pro-
cession and led them straight to the
duck pond.
"Wuf! Wuf!" he barlsed again.
Just see how did 1t this time!"
There on the bank were seven more
little dead goslings. arranged neatly
in pile. with their bills all pointing
one way!
We'll. never" began grandma.
But papa suddenly stopped over AID
patted Boxer on the head.
Good doggy" he exclaimed in =
queer. shaking kind of voice. And
then. Don't you see what he's done!
He thought whipped him all because
he didn't put them in a pile! Good
doggy! Yes-s'r-ee! Nice old fellow!"
'Wuf!" barked Boxer, wagging al
most double for Joy.
1t is doubtful II any OF the goslings
would have lived to become geese II
Uncle Ted had not come that after
noon to take Boxer home. And the
next time he visited the farm he was
much too wise a dog to chase barn
yard fowls Of any kind.-St. Nicho-

THE PROUD BUN.

The baker-man WINS kneading buns
HIS trough was deep and wide
When, much 10 his surprise, he heard
A small voice By his side.
"Oh. make mo large and fat" 1t said.
And stun me null iof plums,
So that 1 may attract applause
From every one who comes"
"oh. put a piece OF citron in.
And make me rich and rare,
That may serve for dukes and earls
Who suniptuously do fare"
The baker chuckled In his sleeve
To hear him !aik SO big,
And let him run his rtg!'
He put in all he had on hand.
And made him rich and rare.
And set him in the wIndow-pane,
10 make the natives stare.
With yeast and plums and pride.
He scorned The doughnuts. pies acS
.saArrs aS5wes them aside.
"Im waiting for the duke" he said,
With whom l am to dine!"
just then two newsboys came along
Whose appetites were fine.
MY eye!" they cried, come over here
And see this jolly bun:
Let's buy him for our supper. quick"
And 30 the thing was done.
Two morals to this little song
Are had al easy rates:

The Return of the
New Englander

No doubt, most men retain q fond
ness for their native states, but
think the New Highlander cherishes
stronger love for his native soil than
most others. No other brook has quite
30 merry laugh to his ears as the
mountain stream where he used to
catch speckled trout; no other apples
have the spicy flavor of the Porters
and russets and Baldwins The mag
nificent forests which clothe New
England's hills and valleys. the clear
blue lakes that dimple round her
hundred isles" the gorgeous sunsets
which tinge her distant mountain
peaks with purple. the glorious au-
tumn which paints her varied abores-
cence In riotous .colors-where in the
wide world can he find y spot which
quite equals It? So he dreams of
New England as he harvests his
wheat on the Dakota prairies. or
gathers his prunes and apricots In
California; or. between orders to buy
or sell on change in Chicago or New
York, he promises himself. when he
shall have money enough, that he will
go back to New England and enjoy
it. And he is coming back. Almost
every town or hamlet. In the pictur-
csque portions Of New England-and
this term applies to the greater part
OF it-has Its returned manufacturer
or merchant, or man of letters, or
lawyer, or statesman, who comes every
summer. bringing his family to rest
and recupsrate.

Advice to the
Rejected

One Of the weakly" editorials
which Helen Oldheld regularly con-
tributes to . Chicago Sunday paper
on the subject Of love and marriage
was entitled. Rejected Lover Should
Propose Again" We entirely agree
with Helen and are glad that she had
the courage and philanthropy to thus
enlfghten lovers in regard to the prop
er course at \ critical juncture. She
did not, however. say whether the re.
jected should propose again to the
same girl or to another. This may
seem immaterial but We happen to
know Of case where complications
arose when thu general rule Of con.
duet thus laid down was closely fol.
lowed. In the case in question a
young man who had been rejected BY
the maid of his choice was able. after
q short interval, to transfer his affec-
tons almost intact to another, Sub
sequently Maid No. altered her mind
and was ready to marry the adaptable
creature. As No. / II the more eligi.
BILE party, interested friends are now
bringing pressure to bear on the sus-
ceptible man in the shape Of argu-
ments and persuasions which may
convince him that he made q great
mistake. not in proposing again, but
In proposing the second time to the
wrong girl. Advice on matters OF
this kind which 80 closely Affect the
happiness of young people, should be
explicit. We cannot but feel that had
Helen been more denrite in her
statement, this sad dificulty might
never have arisen.-Farmers' Review.

A RetraCtiOn.

July Number "LodieS' Home JournaI."
In The May number of Tho Ladies'
Home journal we published, in the
article entitled 1.-The Patent Medicine
Curse" an analysis of doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, i'll which that
preparation was represented as contain
ing, among other ingredients. tincture
of digitalis, tincture of opium, and
alcohol. Immediately upon publica-
ton of the number suit for damages
was instituted by The II " Pierce
Medical Company, of Buffalo. New
York. proprietors of the preparation in
question, against The Curtis Publish
ing Company. based upon the claim
that none of the three ingredients was
contained in the medicine.
4 y
Upon the filing of the suit, We. of
course, Immediately looked into the
published analysis. Itappears that this
particular analysis had been made, if
made at all. fully twenty-five years ago.
We, thereupon. employed three leading
chemists in different cities To make an
analysis of the preparation from bottles
bought in the open market. These
analyses. one and all, now show to Us
conclusively that not a single one of the
ingredients mentioned by US in the
analysis quoted-that is. either digitalis.
opium or alcohol-was contained in the
bottles aualyzed. We then-the Presi-
dent of this Company and the writer
personally visited The r. V. Pierce
Medical Company. at Buffalo. and were
there convinced that the officers of the
Company were absolutely truthful in
their claim that not one of these in
furious ingredients was contained in
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
Naturally, since the analysis we printed
has been proved erroneous, the deduc-
tons made in connection with this
preparation were unwarranted and I'M
founded.
Under these circumstances it is now
perfectly plain to us that this magazine
was unintentionally. but nevertheless
absolutely misled in making the original
statement. and we hereby. of our own
volition. make this unqualified ac-
acknowledgement OF our mistake to The X
v. Pierce Medical Company and to our
readers.
The mistake was honestly made. but
il was mistake.
