S«pt. 30 —tf. Miscellany, Etbcl Homer’s Mistake. Valentine’s Day ! as soft and sweet a day as any birds could wish for mating in : prumiso ot violets in its breath—promises ot roses in its sunshine. Though, to he sure, the boughs were bare as yet, and there weie no green things growing, save in the pots'which Ethel Romer had been putting out upon the broad window sill to catch the suushine. The thing that sa vored most of spring was Ethel Romer herself, as beautiful a woman as ever artist painted or poet sang of. Within, near the fire, sat Dr. Ralph;Romer. Spring had him _ left long before. If winterfrosts were not upon his head autumn had touch¬ ed it with gray. Ethel’s musing was interrupted The postman,s rap did it. An envelope, with a pretty border and fanciful seal, and her name upon it, was put into her hand. At the sight she blushed rosy-red, knowing well what lay within, and went back to the fireside with the thing in her hand. “ For me f' nsked Ralph. “ No,” she said ; “ for me.” If lie had only shown some curiosity then—if he had looked at ber jealously ; bad there lecn some shadow of the lover in his face or mien, all might have been different; but he went on with his book, and she carried her valentine to her own room, to read it there in quiet. Yes, it wis a valentine. ’Jhrce times had that daj returned since she married Dr. Ralph Romer, and each time had it brought jus; such an envelope, with just such passiorate lines upon the page with in, Written h the same feigned hand.— Again and sgain she read it over—again and again—just as she had the others, and ful thought, ob. how bitterly I what a beauti¬ blessed thing lif* might have been to this— her, life with such glowing love os that mu3t always be cold and wintry, affection having only the calm, quiet commonplace which her gray haired husband gare era.- her for all the wealth of golden ™t a™ spring time warmth that she felt within ersoul for all the beau y .nt many an a. Jcnt youth had cove ed ini her girlhood. Could it be the fair-haired student who eat near them in c urch. or the dark eyed soldier, with an empty sleeve, who passed their garden so olten . On whom, had sbe wide nuh an mprcs.ion . ? while he whose life she shared saw m her only a good little woman, who had silly ideas on abstract advice and subjects, counsel. and needed much sage Her po.'t heart ached, as her head did. She felt wicked and ashamed, and very, very miserable; and forgot how time was flying, and how her housewife duties pressed upoo her, until the sinking sun reminded her of them. Evcn then she t°°^ on ? * 00 “ : * n e glass, and thought if she did uot say it, , that h great deal of beauty had been cast away on quiet, unromantic lvalph Itomer. After tea they walkod out together, and stood beside the pond in the garden, and saw the gold fish m its depths; and he told her of the general habit* of gold fish, he wiiter of the valentine would have spoken—ao thought Ethel—of her goluen hair, i lie stars came out and he spoke of them, not of hor bright eyes. » he wanted to turn upon him, and say, \Y hat arc all these things worth, com pared with warm and living love ?” She longed to ask him why he had given her ♦hat woeful fate why he had caged the >e ' ^ n k Care ^° r ‘ ** W0l ” !

And if it were he, then Ethel Ro racr knew that it had been better for her never to have been born; for, for the sake of him who wrote those love poems, she and was willing wifely to forsake home and husband, name and fame, and be the scorn and flout of all the village. To be so loved for a little while, and then die, was all she asked. “ H il C0,n C8 to that; 1 she said, answer* ing her own .thoughts, “ how my name will ring ! I shall be blacker than Satan, Do they know—those proper, frozen vil lage women, who will scorn me so—what it is for a loving woihati to lead a loveless life? It withers one as nculoct and cold have withered those poor ilowers there.” For Ethel had set no flower-p'ota in the sun to-day, nor for watched many days. That morning she had her husband ride away on his great brown horse— thinking how grave and serious he was— how old in all his ways— how old-manish was his great overcoat, and his broad brimmed hat; saying to herself, “ If I were to leave him, and he were to find the house empty, he would go on rpding, or comfort himself with a uew inseet or a new planet. No need to wonder how he would And since then she had watched at the window guiltily and miserably for tho va lentine, so sure, she thought to come. At last, site saw a figure coming straight and fast toward the house, and the blood flew to her checks and her heart beat fast; but it was not the postman—only a neigh bor with blanched face and frightened eyes, that told bad news before his lips uttered it. She went out to moot him, and they stood .there looking at each other for a moment. Over the hills a little crowd was ooming slowly, something in its midst, “ Dou’t be too lrighteuod, Mrs. Romer," gasped the man at last. “ It may not be as bad as they think. The horse shied just before the post office, and the doctor was thrown. He has not come to yet. Oh, no, no 1”—for she had thrown herself on her knees, and cried out that he was dead; “ not dead not dead yet, Mrs. Romer." But the wretched woman knew that death was very near, and the flood of ago ny that swept across her heart told her that she bad not ceased to love her quiet husband. They brought him iu ; and from that moment, for long days and nights, she ke P l watc!l bcside his bed, thinking of no othcr lllight thing on earth, praying J f only & that he be spared to S1 e su re d ag - on i cs 0 f retuor8e . Every false thought p ursue d her with a revengeful stab. The gra y overcoat hanging on the wall, w hich she had thought old manish and like him, as he rode away, seemed to taunt ber thought that it would never be worn again. She could not bear tho 8 jg b t of it longer; and so one day she 1 09k it softly in her hand to hang it in a cor t ain closet. As she lifted it, something fell from one of the pockets—a letter or a paper.' She stooped to recover it, mid saw a fauciful envei >pe with a bright seaR and ber name upon it. Such were tho valen t; nes th a t carno to her. This was surely one 0 f t j icm ^at dl - d ; t mean ? n ad her husband discovered the writer ? Had there been some cause for the accident of w hjch s he knew nothing ? She looked at the valentine agaiD. It had never been posted. Ethel began tremble from head to violently to foot. She sank down upon her knees, clasping tho valentine between both palms, and held it thus a while. Could it —could it be?—-oh, could it bo? She opened it. The same glowing verse, but Ba dder and more hopeless telling of love unreturned. The same measure in the same feigned hand, yet not all unknown, Had she never before seen that little flour i s h—that peculiar formation of a letter ? “0 heaven! make me sure!” sobbed Ethel, and found her way somehow to her husband’s desk, and opened it. Within lay envelopes, like those upon the valentine, a little box of such gay seals, and fragments of verse—tho proofs t ,lat writer of those passionate poems —of those wild protestations of love—was no othcr th f^ llal P h ' khe crept back to his bedside, and . .. kiss ed ^is face and his uuconscious eyes.

He tells her, as of yore, all his scholar’s dreams, and talks of the s t ard an d the flowers rather than of them* selves. But Ethel is content. , She has but to remember thoso treasuriid valon tines, which lie bound together with blue ribbon in hor most sacred hiding place, to feel assured of her happiness. There is no empty nook in her warm heart, and the angels of love and duty clasp hands beside their hearth-stone, -e-e— Sow ten bushels per acre of wood ariies on your wheat field at the time of sowing the seed—scarcely anything would be bet* ter. Scatter by hand, broadcast A tiood name In the school of Dr. Woods none were allowed to enter the conservatory without leave ; but a boy’s handkerchief, been with his name upon it, bad found there._ Just a t the close of school the Doctor call- § cd the name of James Howard. The whole school became silent with suspense “James Howard! what has he done ? such a noble boy 1 such a good boy!’* all thought. Dr. Woods himself believed ho must have been sent into the conservatory by the James teacher of botany h ; so he asked— the- Howard, ave you been into conservatory ?” «I have not, sir,” replied James, in a clear, calm tone. “ I believe you, Jn uu> ” Dr. YF~ “although found your handkerchief has been there. You aro not the boy to tell an untruth." Jauios sat in his seat unmoved.— Every almost boy in the school believed him ’ and envied his good name. Dr. Woods said nontore on this subject except these few words.- Let every boy learn from this incident the worth of a good name, especially when aupearances 1 are against him. How came James’ handkerchief in the conservatory ? for, as I have said, it was contrary to the rules of the school for a boy to enter there unbidden. James had lent it to a small boy named John Hand, to tie up some nuts the day before, when they had a little ramble together. ife Tho boy forgot to return it. also forgot the rule of the school against entering the rushed conservatory, but, seeing the door open, in to look at some rare flowers._ The handkerchief, being partly out of his pocket, dropped upon the ground, See here the evils of heedless forgetful ness. The boy had exposed a schoolmate to centure; and had it not bean for James Howard’s good name, his teacher would surely havo thought him to be the offend er. At least, so thought John liund. How ashamed he felt when Dr. Woods said these words about a good name. The words broken kept ringiug in his ears. He had a rule of the school, and was afraid to own it. lie thought the Doctor would despise him if he knew, and so would tho boys. All the day, all that night, he had no He peace. At length he wcut to see Ji it. was not afraid to tell him nil about “ I did forget it, James, truly, honestly, I did," said the child; “but I'm afraid the Doctor won’t believe me as he does yea." Yes he will," replied James. You M “ have been so short a time in school, ihore’a some excuse for you. Go at onco~ and own up; for the longer you put it off tho harder it will be. Always own a fault at once. Don’t bo afraid r ' tha Doctor will forgive you." # £ Thus encouraged, tho boy went to Dr. Woods, confessed his fault, and was for* given ; but he learned a lesson against for getfulnoss which he always remembered, Make Home Happy, The time will cogu when ohildrcn will notdesirctobccontinuallyunderthepa* rents' roof.
