laMm Lovers, i huier w. m'intosii. It was^ust three year ago last Christ- h I was trudging along the street, J wrapped np in a long, heavy ulster, for It was biting cold, and the wind blew the snow, which bad fallen to the depth of several inches the night before, in every direction. I had just left the office with an assignment which was to ' take me about two miles np town, , where a large party was being given by ( well-known philanthropist lo about children. While I was musing over ^ by-gone days, wiien Christmas eve meant a bright hearthstone surrounded ^ by several generations of relatives at the grandmothers old homestead, when the cares and struggles of life Nero unknown 1 me, I came lo the corner which my ^ car was to pass. Just as I reached it a blinding cloud of flying snow enveloped me, and with it came a figure in black " that I did not notice until we collided, when a startled voice cried; " Don't! ' I don't stop me! He'll catch me!" speaker was a girl, and before I was fully aware of what had happened, ^ a big, burly ruffian came running up the street, and grasping the cringing figure the wrist, started to almost drag her back toward the direction from which they had come. It was all done so sud- ^ denly that I stood dazed and might not have awakened from my lethargy until they had passed out of sight, bad it not been for s most beartrinding appeal the girl, who cried ; " Ob ! Please " don't let him take me 1" In an Instant I was beside them and ' asking the cause of the trouble and by what right the man acted as he did. ' "She owes me for three weeks' rent, 1 an' she's tryin' to skip inc." with another ' lug. Just then I caught night of her and an Instant resolve to be her champion sprang up within inc. "What have you to say ?" 1 atked, addressing the girl. ^ " Hone o" yer business I " rejoined her f companion, who upon making another . attempt to drag the poor girl away, ( which caused her to wince with pain, ( brought matters to a crisis. Being ( rnthcr large and having a fair command ( of the hand when doubled up, the result was In our favor, and leaving the fallen opponent leaning against a house front I took the girl's hand and led her through the crowd which had assembled. When about two blocks sway from the scene stopped and asked her where she ( wished to go. Her answer was; " I no place to go. 1 wouldn't dare ^ go hack to the only place I had on earth.'' After listeuingto a brief story wc weLt to my homo, orqi tber, to the woman ^ who rented the apartments to three of us and cooked our meals. I left her there, with instructions to Mrs. Murphy | to give her every attention until mornI then wont to attend to my negduty, but in the midst ot all the ( aad happiness, and until I finally went to sleep late that night, her face haunted me, and I was very anxious ' for the morning to come, when I should again see my protege. ' At eleven o'clock the next morning, J after we three Bohemian bachelors had breakfasted, and the other two had taken their departure, the colored boy summoned Mr*. Murphy. While he was ' gone I sat before the fire wondering what would be the outcome of our eon- ' , venation and trying to think what was to do under the circumstances. My reverie was soon dispelled by the arrival ' of my landlady. "Well, how Is your charge thl« morn- ' The Importance of l his self-same ; charge came upon me with a sudden ; force as I beheld the serious face of the usually urbane Mrs. M. "Oh, sir ! I feel so tony for her. Bhe is so delicate and beautiful, and such a lady, air. I didn't question her ranch, but she has great -trouble on her mind, sir." "I wish yon would send her too me. I will try to determine what to do, and will let yon know presently," ami with a respectful "Yes sir," she was gone. "What to do." Urnpii! That was quite a serious question. There I was a bachelor, aged twenty-five, earning a fair existence on the local staff of the leading dally In the city. There were three of ns who occupied three room* In Mrs. Murphy's bouse, two of which were used for sleeping apartments and the other for a parlor, library, diningroom, etc. Of the other two, one, Harry MoCarter, was a rising young artist, and the other, Ned White, a fellow journalisL We were all about the - same age and had lived capitally lo- ' get her during the fourteen months we ) had been under His. Murphy's roof. Bnmehrrrr »Tt of lis sismerf t rsis , much for lbs gentle Influence of woman, > and It was the knowledge that each of ua had "suffered" and taken a silent, !' though not binding, vow to asebew • womankind, which bound us together. , Dor "den," ae we called our oomblns- - lion room, was, however, a very altrach live one, sad many souvenirs Y»f homes we once had aided in its general altrae- - tl venose. Our hours for meals were C very regular, considering, and lbs K> I o'clock breakfast and 8.30 dinner, which . were served by our landlady, almost Ln- ., variably found us together, and very frequently with one or two invited " guests. At breakfast this Christmas | morning I liad-told my parda that I •f might have- a guest for dinner and for I them to pot on their best manners. I I While I was standing before the flreJ place musing, a gentle tap at the door I was followed by the object ot my I thoughts. When! sew her standing in I the doorway my heart gave a sudden r thump, and I Involuntarily put my hand I lo my forehead. II must be the same I poor girt of the night before, bat how J changed.

"Yes, thank you; hut it all sceins 1 like a hideous dream. 1 felt so safe I wlicn i awoke this morning." t "I am very glad to hear that Mrs. t Murphy was able to help you to drive c away any unpleasant thoughts. You said last night that you had no— no— I "(my new role was growing '» be a very a embarrassing one.) t "Home, she interrupted , no. I have ■ none," and while she struggled to bo t brave, her lips twitched nervously, t which showed how hard it was to keep* back the tears. " You have been so kind." aiic eon- \ tinned, "ami I am so utterly alone and helpless, that I am going to ask your 1 advice." i After a momen.'s besitati n. during f out her conversation, she continued. "I g suppose 1 had better tell my story. My i name is Mary Thornton. I will be « elgh'cen years old next February. L'ntil a daughter ol wealthy and loving parents. £ About two years ago my father died, s Instead of leaving my mother and me • independent, his estate was mortgaged i to Its full value. My father's brother t mother hjd been on unfriendly terms . from him. With little less than ®500 and several souvenirs, my mother ' and 1 left our western homo ard came ' east. For awhile my mother's literary ' efforts enabled ua to live comfortably, r but after awhile her stories were re- < turned by the publishers. Our little I were nearly driven to despair. I finally secured a position to do fancy painting ' on email articles at fifty cents a day and r my good mother inadc fifty cents more I sewing all day long." > Here she Mapped n moment lo wipe < away the big tears which filled her eyes, t After awhile she continued : 1 to move lo a poor room in a > cheaper part of the city, for which wc I paid *2 a week ronL My— my mother r took cold after we had been there about i The poor girl could not repress her ' any longer, and she sobbed as r though her heart would break. 1 did < not interrupt her, knowing it best not r to. After awhile the continued : "It gave my last piece ef jewelry, a small < diamond pin my father had given me, 1 to the landlord as security for money to 1 ; bury my poor mother. After the funeral < I continued to live In the room, hut I could find no w*y to earn a living. 1 f , tiled place after jjlaoc, but without sue- I | 1 finally got some sewing to do I for a small tailor, who paid me forty- , five cents a day for six days. That Is I , an the modey I have had lo buy food I with tor the past two weeks. Nearly < every day during the past week the land- i ( lard, the man who followed me last < , night, threatened to do almost every- i , thing unless I paid him my two weeks I rent. Last night I was silting alone In . my room, thinking of Christmas eves of ' bygone days. Something prompted me to go ont and see If there might not he something for me in this great city. I ' offered up a fervent prayer to God to help me and protect mc, and crept down | stairs and out Into the chilly streeL I t hid walked for several blocks snd was just coming Into sight of the bright , stores when this man suddenly came up t beside me, and after an oath, said ' You l are trying to give mo the slip, arc you?' p and tried to take hold of me. In runs nlng away from him 1 ran against you, , and— and— you know the rest." j After sho bid finished we both sat j silently gizlng Into the fire, except for an occasional sob which eamc straight from her breast I at in deep roeditaj tion for quite a loag time, ustil finally having made np my mind 1 said : e "It Is a very sad tale little girl, but ^ your darkness has all passed.

Ned had aJarge box full of stuff \ s swell bakery, and I,— well 1 had 1 two full grown quarts of I'crrier Jouet. ' ilay before was pay day, and we ' all done ourselves proud. When < we reached home wo looked like a trio j of Santa Clauses, covered with snow I bead to foot. Wc all marched up 1 I the " den " with our offerings, and I I entering suddenly, wo found our new I 1 housekeeper and Mrs. Murphy busily ■ engaged in twining a long string of srni- 1 around quite an extensive centre- 1 piece which they had made. Our pre- | 1 lege blushed and clasped her bands ' modestly before her for a moment pre- 1 ceding presentation. 1 " Miss Thornton. 1 wish lo present my ' Mr. McCarler, commonly known I Mac.' " They advanced toward each other, 1 anil with a hearty handshake, my arils- 1 tic friend muttered, " 1 am glad lo wrlI " 1—1 thank you." was her reply.

"The fact must be recognized that not , all the successful! methods of the im- , dailies arc bad methods.

Manners and methods have been modified under an increasing sense of responsibility and in , the endeavor to rqach a solid as well as circulation.

Notes. > The June number of Book Nxws(John Wanamaker, Philadelphia), Is indeed a magazineof "book news." As the warm 1 weather approaches, we naturally think ) of a vacation. and what lo rend iluringour a tew weeks of rest Is often quite a serious I question. In "Books and Travel" Bev. Washington Gladden has written a 1 timely article, giving us a few practical t bints on what lo to read during our a sojourn at the seaside or in the country. ■" "With the New Books" Introduces us to the newest books In two pages of delightful reading, and the reviews are i. numberousnnusuall interesting.

Womsn's Great Disadvantage. The greatest disadvantage under which women now labor it, I think, without doubt, that they sre not trained np to earn an Independent living. Society can be soundly developed only as the Individuals composing It ate so, aad liberty is an essential to healthy growth. there Is no true liberty where one is dependent upon the will of others for llie means of subsist once. Any perception of justice must indicate that she who is dependent upon another's liberalfor the means of living owes to that other whatever return docility and compliancc can make. Bat this altitude of mind is all but destruction to any strong j individuality. Society being composed [ thought and character are valuable to it j only in proportion as they are distinct- , womanly. The beat Inlrerta of society demand that women be trained so as to grow up into the full stature of womanhood. When woman, then has passed childhood, the training time of life, she owos it to herself and for humanity lo stand firm, self-poised and aelfporting. nils view, loo, wc find endorsed by the exigencies of life. It Is admitted that no woman can be truly happy herself, or can be of service to others, unless her faculties are employed in some useful occupation; but there are very , is not needed for their maintenance. . The theory of the proper destiny of girls is that they shall be supported by their fathers untill womanhood, when they shall marry and find a field of useful employment and a means of support in their husband's households. Now it lakes but a small observation ot life to , show Dint these two sources of support { fail In a very considerable number of cases, and arc liable to fall in every single one. All fathers are not able to sopport their daughters; alt women do net marry; and all husbands cannot supply homes for their wives, or they die, leaving their widows unprovided for. It is evident that any social thory that leaves an appreciable number ot women actually w ithout the means of subsistence, and the support of all the others more or less precarious, falls iu a vital point and , ought to ho abandoned, even if it had , other disadvantages.— Laura Clay, lo Every farmer receives a great deal at 1 hands of his wife. Ho owes as much to her thrift and good mauage1 mcnl hb he does to bis own. What other woman stays at home and devotes herself so entirely to her husband's interests ss the farmer's wife? While i the wives of the "mechanic, tho butcher, the baker and the candlestick " maker," arc out enjoying themselves 1 in the afternoon, the farmer's wife is ' home at work. Tho milk must be 1 skimmed, the poultry fed, and supper ' cooked for a lot of hungry men. But ' look to yourselves, fanner's wives ! ' Assert your rights. Kemcmber if you ' are mothers, your highest duty Is to ' your children. You must have time 1 for them. Don't do all that you think ' you ought to do, but just what you ' are ablo lo do, leaving a little time for • recreation. There are some farmer*' " wives whoso lines are cast In pleasant • ' places. These bavo married thonght- ■ ful, unselfish men (there are some) who 1 look well to the comfort of their household, and have things convenient and kept In order. ' Hungry animals ran be made to eat ' even w ceils, but it is poor economy to ! force them to do it. Some weeds have r however, considerable nutritive value. 9 The plalntaln is nearly m ilch aa- • meadow hay, ml the while daisy is " theoretically worth half as much. The greatest nuisance of weeds In bay Is that their sccili pass undigested Into the manure besp. and are thus spread J everywhere. It Is indeed hard luck to ' a farmer who Is unable to draw a load of manure on his land without raising tlic question whether the weeds he , disseminates do not offset the good lhat the manure Itself should do. • The Remarkable Cure*. r Which have been effected bv Hood'* Barsaparilla are sufficient proof that this j mediclr.c does possess pccullr curative f power. In tho severest cases of scrofula r or salt rheum, when other preparations had been powerless, the use of Hood's !( Barsaparilla has brought about the hap- „ pleat resul, s. The ease of M1m Sarah C.
