liroth.-r. John wiim noiirly 15 year* old,
liut Will wiin only 10.
“ Didn't wo linvo lota of fnn out of tho

“Y.-d, it was good djdirt, and John
would have onjoyod it, too, if ho had
boon with us,” rt-plic-.l Aunt Alioo.
•• Well, 1 never hoard the like before,”
aaid John,
Tho three frioiuld to whom the chil
dren urc lioro iiitriMlu.-.-.l wore at tho

having rotumed on tho night licfore
from tin-ir dununor trip to (Irandfatlior
Burton’d, in tho country, Will hod boon
tolling John, who had romuimid in the
city all tho diimnior, about liid advon
tnroH on grandfather’d farm and in tho
wide wimklh clod,- by tho farm.
“ Woworo real tired from running do
much one afternoon," (-ontinuod Will,
“ when we all went out on tho lawn,
where grandfather wiim Hitting. It wad
aha.lv and nice.”
“ I’leade paaa mo another you know
what?" interrupted John, pointing with
hiH knife at a plate of eakoH.
“ Ad I wan going to day," Will con
tinued, “we were resting in tho ahiulo
when grandfather told mo to l.Mik at the
great w hite elotlild that wore marching
round the sky. lty and by grandfather
da id: ‘Willie, I nee a soldier with a
sword in his hand.' ‘Where?’ said I,
looking down the rood. 1 Up in tho sky,'
daiil he. And, sitro enough, 1 saw a
great white cloud almost exactly like-tho
picture of (bn. Jiu'kson in grandfather’s
dining room,”
“ Was he marching ?" asked John.
“ Yes, but his legs didn't move. Tho
wind shoved him along for three or four
minutes ami then blew his head over so
that after a while tile soldier turned into
a thing very much like a buffalo, But
that wium’t all wo saw . Aunty hero soon
js-ill toil out what lisikod like a huly
diesKoil for a hall. The cloud huly had
on a dress almost exactly like white
satin. The sun was sliiuingon the dross
and it glittered as if u were covered with
jHiarld. Near tho sky-lady 1 saw a lion.
< Irandfather said it was more like a New
foundland dog, hut I thought it wits a
lion. While we were looking at tho lion
tho lady changed into something that
looked like a turkey. Besides, we saw a
good many giants, and a few mountain
ranges "
“ Aunty,” said John, who had been
siloing his wheat caked into the shape of
cats and dogs and swallowing them,
" don't, you remember w lmt wo heard
when we went to see Booth play ‘ Ham
let ’ at the Hoath Broad two winters
aoV"
“Oh 1” exclaimed Aunt Alice, “you
mean about Hamlet mid Polonitui and
the whale."
“ Who re Hamlet and Pulouiua ? ” said
Will.
“ Don’t you know?" laughed John.
“ W 1 iy, they’re some of the great Hliaks
peare's men.”
"Who’s Hluikspeave ?" asked Will,
not a bit disturbed by John's lane r.
Aunt Alice smiled, m- l explained tn t
Hhakdjieare was the greatest writer ever
known. He lived in KiighuuVs great
city of London more limn JUKI years ago,
when America was a wild country. He
w rote plays for the theaters, and the
theaters nowadays often use his plays
because they are the best. One of his
plays is called “ Hamlet," because a
Prince named Hamlet is the heart and
soul of the play. Hamlet is in great
trouble, so the make-believe history
says, and a foolish old man named Po
hmius thinks Hamlet is crazy and treats
him like a child. One day Polonius
went into a room where Hamlet was and
began to talk to him. Hamlet was
standing by a window, and, [minting at
the sky, said :
“ Do von wt yondor cloud Unit's almost in
kli|h' or ft ffimol? "
I'oUmms imswimi “By the uiiikh, and 'ti*

Hamlet "Or liken whale,"
Poloums 1 Very like a whale."
“Ho yon s .s'," continued Aunt Alice,
“ tluvt they loot fun out of the clouds IKK)
years ago just us we had out in Lanens
ter county lust week.”
“ That's so," said Will, “ and Huinlet
was just making fun of old Polouiuß,
wasn't lie?"
“I'm off for school,” said John, and
in a moment Aunt Alice was left alone at
the table.
At school that day the shape of things
kept running in Willie's head. It was a
clear day and ho couldn’t find any eloud
slmpcs, but every map in tin' geography
that lie muk studying seemed to take on
theshajioof some animal. In the map
of Ktiropc he found several slihjh'S and
so with all the iuni>s.
And now let the children open their
geographies and start on a jolly hunt for
sinus's. Below are given some
geography "shape-puzzles," which may
l*e worked out hy the children from any
good sized atlas.

Women and the Headache.
T 1 ie headache only becomes a weapon
of feminine despotism when it is employed
by the mistress of the household against
those who daily bow to her domestic
scepter. There is no night in the world
so actually painful to every right-minded
man as the s]s'efaele of a woman, to
whom he has any sort of attachment, in
pain. It, would be too much to say that
it is because the professional cultivator
of headaches knows this that she suc
cumbs so entirely to the attack. Outlie
contrary, it is rather beeau.se she realizes
this fact ho imperfectly that the headache
is really welcomed by the fair invalid.
The feminine imagination suggests some
slight or detects w ith perverse, ingenuity
some ground of grievance, and the natural
development and expression of this senti
ment are the headache. The ailment,
when it is thus generated, is not a mere
affection. It is actually experience; it is
the resort to which natures that lack
energy are inevitably prone. It is a
species of protest against a purely im
aginary wrong and an unwise and most
distressing way of resenting an injury
that, as a matter of fact, has never Men
inflicted or meant.
Of the beatliK'hes which arc only ox
pressivo of momentary disappointment,
of nnnoyanee that some meditated plea
sure has been abandoned, or that Homo
souree of expenditure has been retrenched,
it is needless to speak. For all varieties
of tlm malady which periodieidlv attacked
M rs. Wenham there is one remedy that
is tolerably certain to prove effectual.
They are tho oonsequonoes not so much
of physical debility as of moral weakness.
Nothing is more certain provocative of
feminine headache than the habitual
brooding over trilles till they seem to as
sume the importance of practical gravity.
In proportion as the interests of life are
multiplied in number and tlie healthy
energies are quickened, the tendency to
headaehes will disappear. Above all
things, a ilisingenous reserve is the fertile
parent of these imlis|>oHitioiiH. Women
who pride themselves on preserving
silence in their troubles of mind or body,
absolutely woo the headache which is
destructive of the ;>eaeo of households.
It is given to extremely few persons to
conceal from the inspection of those who
are constantly about, them the emotions
which they experience, and unless they
con be concealed with artistic complete
ness it may ho said without paradox
that they are aggressively transparent.
There is really no alternative. The worst
of it is that the headache of the variety
now sjHiken of, after having liecn is'-
easiomdly experienced for a certain
length of time, becomes more or less of
an abiding condition, aud there arc not a
few ladies who may lie said to pass their
lives in the predicament of headache.
Perpetual jiftin in the region of the eye
brows -pain which candor and courage
and occupation would almost always al
leviate recurring day after day, superin
duces a kind of moral and mental
languor, and from languor to obstrnetivo
ness is but a step. The state of miml in
which ladies abstain from pronouncing a
definite opinion, or expressing a decided
preference when alternative suggestions
are offered, may bo one of discomfort to
themselves, but is one of positive torture
with all whom they have to deal, l’ro
penrity to headaches in women is almost
as had ns n propensity to drink with
men; and is to be struggled against as
resolutely, if peace anil happiness and
contentment are to be forthcoming.—•

“Save Bat Pocket book!“
A negro planter came to Vicksburg,
sold his cotton, put Ins money in Ins
pocketbook, and started down tlio river.
Leaning too far over the guards as the
boat backed out, he fell overboard. His
porfemounaie, which was in his side
pocket, floated out and rode with his hat
on the surface of the water, while the
current carried the negro away. The
yawl w as lowered, and assistance at once
started towards the drowning man, who,
perceiving his treasure floating off, raised
i>is voice and shouted :
"Save dat pocketbook!"
Ills head went under and ilisappeim'd.
As he rose up again lie gasped :
“ Bar’s Sllß in dat pocketbook.”
Scarcely had lie uttered the words lie
fore he sunk a second time.
The yawl came within reach just in
time to rescue the drowning African as
he came to the surface for the last time.
An soon as the water was wiped from his
nose and mouth so that he could see and
speak, he asked :
“ Did -slid you save dat pocketbook?”
“ No," was the response.
" Well, den,” said the negro, regret
fully, “wlmt de debbil was de use ob
savm’ me ?’’
Praise.
Asa general filing we are too elmry in
praising and encouraging the efforts of
the young, too free in criticising and de
preciating them. Many a child's powers
m various directions are thrust back into
inactivity by the cold, unappreciative re
ception they meet with. Childrenquick
ly adopt the sentiments i>f their elders,
and soon learn ti' put the same value on
their own powers that others do. The
parent, the teacher, and the employer
can easily teach lessons of self-deprecia
tion which may cling through life, and
forever prevent tile development of pow
ers that, under more favorable auspices,
might have proved a bless’ng to the
community; or, on the other hand, by
cheerful encouragement mid wholesome
commendation, they may nourish many
a tiny germ of ability and talent that

Honor In the I‘rintlng Office.
There id one species of secrecy—
that relating to the careful sniiervidton
of confidential public documents, books
printed for secret societies, and tho au
thorship of articles or pamphlets, as al
ready referred to, which has been most
honorably maintained. When treaties
arc prematurely published in newspapers
the copy is obtained from some leaky or
venal uflicinl, and not from any of the
printers who set up or work off tho orig
inal. A case of this kind occurred a year
or two ago, wherein a convention be
tween this country and another power
w im revealed to one of the evening nows
patiers. In the Foreign Office, at White
nail, there is a regular staff of printers
always at work, and if these men liked
they might let out secrets of the most
momentous kind, any one of which
would, perhaps, in theHedays of journal
istic competition, bo worth a few hun
dred pounds. Hut such a dereliction of
duty has never yet occurred; it was a
clerk, and not a compositor, who be
trayed his trust.
Most honorable to tho profession is
the story of Harding, tho printer, who
bravely bore imprisonment rather than
reveal the authorship of the celebrated
“Drainer” letters. The printer sut in
his cell calmly refusing the entreaties of
his friends to divulge tho name of tho
writer, Dean Swift, a church magnate,
and a great wit, who dressed himself in
the disguise of a low Irish peasant, and
sat by, listening to the noble refusal and
the tender importunities, ouly anxious
that no word or glance from the unfort
unate printer should reveal the secret.
Mwift was bent solely upon securing his
own safely at, the expense of the printer ;
ho cowered before the legal danger which
Hsrdiiig boldly confronted. The world
has unequally allotted the meed of fame
to the two combatants. The wit and tho
printer both fought the battle for the
liberty of the press, until the sense of
an outraged community released the
tyjiograpiier from the peril so nobly en
countered.
There is also tho allegiance which
printers pay to their chief, in not di
vulging important intelligence. In some
eases a compositor is necessarily in
trusted with an item of news which
would he negotiable immediately, and
worth pounds to him. Meldom or ever
is there a betrayal of trust in this way.
The examination papers, printed so ex
tensively in London, arc of tho most
tremendous importance to certain
classes, who would pay almost any sum
to obtain tho roughest proof the night
before. An instance of tliin kind oc
curred quite recently. A printer was
“got at,” and promised a considerable
amount of money for a rough proof.
What, was hiH course of notion? lie
simply informed the authorities, and tho
tempter was punished. It was another
and a creditable example of how well
and honorably kept are the sonrets of
the printing office.
A Ilcan’s Duel.
The following story is told of Fighting
Fitzgerald, n celebrated beau, gambler,
horseman and duelist. After his return
from Ireland, an-old gentleman declared
his intention of trying to cure Fitzgerald
ef his love of dueling, mid one day pro
voked him to a contest. His friends
tried in vain to persuade him not to go
out. “Leave me alone,” he said; “1 11
settle him. I have got tho choice of
arms. Each of us shall bo mounted,
each choose his own weapon, a space
shall be marked out, and whoever lirst
crosses the boundary shall be declared
vanquished.” Fitzgerald being informed
of these strange proposals did not like to
refuse, anil conlident in bis admirable
horsemanship and skill with all weapons,
accepted, lie appeared oil tho ground
superbly mounted on a liery steed and
armed with pistols.
To the surprise and mirth of all, tho
old gentleman trotted up on a donkey,
carrying a bladder with dried peas inside
mid a scarlet cloak in his hand. Waving
the cloak and shaking his rattle, ho rode
into tho space; off started tho fiery
courser, mid before Fitzerald knew
where he was, he had crossed tho bound
ary mul lost the duel. Tho ridicule was
toil much for him, and he never “went
out ” again.

A Bostonian travulinft in England
given liia experiences in the 'lransoript
of English extortion, as follows : I write
it with tlu> greatest unction and em
phasis after my name, whenever I am
asked to record it, “U. S. A.,” not that
I love England the leas, but my country
more and more. But I have found,
whatever the honor and privilege of my
birthright, it is not an economy to lie
recognized as an American. And recog
nized as such, at once, you inevitably
are. “ But how did you know lam an
American ?” 1 said to a chatty, intelli
gent Englishman, who, like myself, had
possessed a doorway to get out of a too
cxuhcnuit shower. “ l should not have
known,” he answered, “had you not
spoken.” And so my speech “bewray
cth ” me everywhere, and everywhere at
a cost. An American is, by the average
Englishman, supposed to carry a rail
way in one pocket, and at least a silver
mine in the other, oil well as" a
reserve. He knows yimr He sjnits you.
You are his gudgeon. Wherever you go
von hear of the foolish things Americans
have done, until the English idea is that
the American exists simply as a shilling
and-sixpetmy dropping-machine, and he
keeps the machine well at it. They talk
of ducks shedding water, but one sheds
these silver favors at every step. It is
no economy to be known as an American.
It is a luxury, an extravagance, on im
prudence.
The Widow’s Mite.
A gentleman called upon a rich friend
for some charity.
“Yes, I must give you my mite,” said
the rich man.
“ Do you mean the * widow’s mite?’ ”
said the gentleman.
“Certainly," was the answer.
“ 1 shall bo satisfied with half as much

“Seventy thousand dollars.”

A Famous Pennsylvania Orchard.
Holon Robinson lias traveled 1,000
miles to see a famous Pennsylvania'
orchard on the Juniata River in Juniata
County, 144 miles from Philadelphia,
near a little station called Thompson.
“There,” says Mr. Robinson, “if the
traveler going west or. the Pennsylvania
Railway will look out south and up tho
stoop hillside, ho will see tlie main part
of an orchard of 15,000 peach trees,
10,000 quince trees, and 9,000 Siberian
crab-apple trees. And, if lie could stop
and walk and ride through tho orchard, as
I did to-day, and find one dead or
diseased tree, he will find more than I
could; although I was told by Mr. Taylor,
the foreman, that ho did lose one tree in
the section whore we were. ‘And how
many trees arc there in this section?’
‘Mix'thousand.’ If a like result can be
found anywhere else on earth, I should
like to lie informed, that I might liiako
another pilgrimage of 1,000 miles to see
it, as I have to see this, the most healthy,
thrifty, most promising young orchard I
have ever seen in all my extensive
journeys through the United Mtatcs and
Canada. Yet most of the land is unfit
for any other cultivation, and a consider
able portion of the ground has never
licon plowed, because so steep and so full
of stones and resits. In tliiH respect it
reminded me of some of tho vineyards of
Pleasant Volley, it licing often difficult
to get dirt enough to make a good loose
hod for tho risits. ” The orchard is owned
by 11. Bradford, a Connecticut River
Yankee. A few years ago the tract con
taining 410 acres came into Mr. Brad
ford's hands, upon tho false representa
tion that it contained valuable veins of
iron ore. He bought it unseen. When
seen, it was found to yield no workable
ore, and only a small tract of farm land
with a few common farm buildings. The
question then was, “What shall I do
with it?” That question lias been an
swered in the splendid orchard on the
ground. Tho first section of peach trees
was planted in 1875, and on July 21 of
tiii year, when Mr. Robinson visitod
the orchard, the first full crop of peaches
was being gathered.
Why People Are so Short-Lived.

Palienco (Ircaler Than Job’s.
I suppose Job’s patience was wonder
ful for a man; hut it was nothing to
that of women. What would Job have
done had lie been compelled- to sit in
the house and sew, and knit, and nurse
the children, anil see that hundreds of
different tilings were attended to during
tlie day, and hear children erv, and fret,
and complain ? Or how would he have
stood it if, like some jsior woman, he
had been obliged to rear a family of ten
or twelve children without any help,
spending months, yenrs—-all the prime of
life—in washing, scorning, scrubbing,
mending, cooking, and nursing children;
fastened to the house and his offspring
from morning till night, and from night
till morning; sick or well, in storm or
sunshine, his nights often rendered mis
erable by watching over his children ?
How could he have stood all this, and in
addition to all other troubles tlie curses

PiETEAS,
Mystery of Exchange.
Most of our reader* are aware that tho
quotation of foreign exchange represents
a premium considerably in excess of tho
actual fact; but we doubt whether all
of them know precisely what is the dif
ference. By the usage of bankers, tho
old Spanish*dollar is assumed as the par
of exchange, one pound sterling being
equal to four and four-ninths of these
dollars. In jsiiut of fact, however, in
tho established moneys of Great Britain
and tho United States, a pound sterling
contained as much gold a-s #4.870f United
States money ; and this is the true par
of exchange or rate which must lie used
in converting the money of one country
into that of tlie other. For instance : if
anything costs £IOO in Great Britain, it
true value expressed in the money of tho
United States is $487. Accordingly, it
is a fact, familiar to all bankers, that,
when exchange is quoted at 109}, there
is no real premium, but the true par has
been attained, because, if we multiply
$4.44 4-9, which is the nominal pur, by
109 J, which is then tho quoted rate, wo
get $1.87, which is the true par. Wo
need scarcely add that it is owing to tl i.-
circumstance that tho exports of gohl
irom tlie United States are no. larger,
jf there really existed such a heavy
premium on bills of exchange, as many
persons suppose, it would be immensely
profitable to export gold to Great Brit
ain. In [mint of foot, in view of the
necessary expenses of freight, insurance
and loss of interest, tho margin does not
more than cover the risk. Tno United
States half-eagle, it may be added, con
tains lit! grains of pure gold, equivalent,
to $5 ; the British sovereign, or pound
sterling, 113 grains, equivalent to $4.87
of United States money.— Keonomist.
