FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 13,1873.-
A Coal of Fire.
' “I’ll pay you up for this; see if I
don’t! Just let me catch you in a
good place, and I’ll mark your face
for you!”
Alvin Reed stood on the doorstep,
alternately shaking his fist, and wip
ing the-blood and dust from his face,
while he cast wrathful glances at the
retreating form of another boy, who
was rapidly disappearing around a
distant corner.
“Hallo! what’s the matter?” cried
Uncle Simeon, raising the window
by which he sat, looking out.
“That Jim Moore’s been pounding
me. He knocked me down before I
knew he was round, or he’d got the
worst of it - -for Alvin didn’t like to
own that he had been whipped in a
fair fight— “but I’ll pay him up for
it see if I don’t!” he continued, shak
ing his head, and with his determi
nation plainly written on his face.
“So I would,” joined in Uncle
—Simeon; “and I’ll tell you the very
best thing you can do, and my word
for it, it will be the last time he ever
attempts to lay rough hands upon
you.” •
Alvin looked up eagerly, for he
- longed to revenge the insult he had
received. He knew his mother would
have told him to pass it by, and for
get it; but then she couldn’t under
stand the feelings of a boy who had
been whipped, and he began to think
more of Uncle Simeon than ever, be?
cause he could both understand and
sympathize w ith him.
“The very first time you have an
opportunity,” continued Uncle Sim
eon, “just drop a coal of fire on his
head. The effect will be wonderful
I assure you.”
“Oh, you don’t mean it Uncle Sim ?
Why, I never heard of such a thing!”
“Yes, I do; and when a good time
comes I’ll show you how it is done.”
The next day Alvin spied his am
tagonist coming up the street. His
anger began to blaze up afresh, and
he ran around to Uncle Simeon’s
window to tell him the object of their
designs was coming, and he -wanted
. to “pay him up right away.”
Uncle Simeon looked out attentive
ly a moment; then he said, “This is
not a good time, now. Just wait a
little. I’ll keep watch, and I think,
in a day or two, at least, #ivery
thing wifi be favorable for the oper
ation.”
Alvin went away much impressed
with the profound manner of his un
cle. That word “operation” sounded
rather ominous. He really did not
wish to do his comrade any lasting
injury, and began secretly to hope
that Uncle Simeon’s racom mended
“operation” wouldn’t be very severe,
or burn Jim’s head so the hair would
never grow again. .
A few days passed, and late one
afternoon Uncle Simeon came. hur
riedly up the walk, calling for Alvin,
“Now is a capital time for applying
that coal of fire,” said he. “Jim is
down here a little way, and every
thing is ready; so. make haste, and
we’ll have it done right away.” And
before Alvin could make a sign of re
treat, his uncle had hold of his arm,
and was dragging him along faster
than was really convenient for him
to go.
Alvin’s home was at the edge of
the village, and on the bank of a
beautiful little stream of water, call
ed, from its white, sparkling appear
ance, the Silverline. Just below the
the house there was an abrupt bend
in the course of the stream, and a
little farther on a rustic bridge, once
very handsome and useful, but. now
broken down in many places, and,
with the exception of a single hori
zontal beam, scarcely strong enough
to bear the weight of a single man
upon it. As Alvin, hurried rapidly
along by Uncle Simeon^ came in
sight of the little old bridge, he heard
a vociferous shouting for help from
some one apparently in great dis
tress and danger—in great fear, at
least.
“There’s your man, all ready for
the Coal,” whispered Uncle Simeon.
“You see he is partly under some
of the timbers of the bridge that
have given way, and is holding back
that heavy piece with his hands, to
keep it from crushing him. Now,
you go cheerfully along and get at
the other end of it; I’ll keep at this
end, and when we raise it from him,
the coal will drop. You’ll see his
face turn very red, as if it burned
pretty bad.”
Alvin glanced at his uncle with
surprise and satisfaction; then quick
ly and carefully scaling the one solid
beam of the bridge, that remained,
he lifted the end of the one which his
comrade, whose strength was fast
giving out, was holding back from
his body. At the same time Uncle
Simeon raised the opposite end, and
the captive was free.
Jim Moore now mounted to the
beam where Alvin stood, and, when
he saw who was his deliverer, asUnele
Simeon had predicted, his face grew
very red, far-redder than a literal coal
of fire on the top of the head would
have made it. He stammered some
thing about his thankfulness to be
released from such a dangerous sit
uation, and Alvin, who was at heart
a kind and generous lad, said he
was glad be of service at such a time.
Jim put his hand in his pocket and
drew out a handful of elegant mar
bles, agates, chinas, etc., and against
Alvin’s will, thurst them into his
hand. “Take ’em. I really didn’t
mean to hurt you so the other day;
and x’H fight any fellow that dares
to make mouth at you now; see if
I don’t.”
Uncle Simeon joined in whith
some jolly remark, and when Jim
turned down the street towards his
own home, he pinched his nephew’s
arm mischieviously, and asked him
if a benefit in return for an injury
“hadn’t a burning effect—upon the
face at least.”
And Alvin declared he should try
the effect of just such a coal upon
the heads of a few boys who had
used him somewhat roughly; for he
was confident that would be the sur
est way of ending their “squabbles,”
and of preventing bloody noses,
muddy clothes, and general ill felling
of mind and body.—Merry's Museum.
Hints on Dress.
Exquisite freshness in the toilet is
seldom understood by either sex, or
it is not sufficiently estimated.
Among persons who are considered
well dressed, or even among those
whom we single out as leaders in
matters of taste and elegance in
selection and. arrangement of what
is worn, how very few are perfectly
and exquisitely neat. There is an
inexpressible -attractivenes about
fastidiously clean collars and cuffs,
and in the rustle of a freshly ironed
shirt, in snowy handkerchiefs and
spotless, dustless hosiery. Thereis
nothing so resistlessly charmimg in
the toilet as an elegant freshness of
lingerie. A lady may be clothed in
a costume of expensive fabric, and
it exquisitely neat in the arrange
ment of those articles of apparel that
are made beautiful in the laundry,
she will possess an air of elegance
that it is impossible to rival. Rich
clothing, and all the expensive acces
sories of the toilet in the way of ties,
laces, gew-gaws and fineries, cannot
bestow the appearance of refinement,
or prudence the same elegant effect,
as will freshness and immaculate
neatness.
It is quite a mistaken idea that
clothes must be soiled before they are
eligible for the hamper. A collar is
not really nice after once wearing—
after the first freshness has departed
—no matter if it be still unwrinkled
and is without a rim of soil; and it
is the same with other articles of
clothing. All kinds of washable ap
parel will wear longer if sent to the
laundry in a condition that will not re
quire too much rubbing for cleansing.
Undoubetedly it is very expensive
to be exquisitely neat in the toilet.
Extravagance in clean clothes nec
essitates .no trifling expenditure in
these days of high laundry rates. It
requires vastly less time to wear the
freshness from a white skirt than it
does to wash and iron it, but per
sons had much better deny them
selves many foolish outlays in nick-
nacks and ornamental notions and
increase their wash bills.
There are very obnoxious ideas
prevalent regarding the petticoat.
When Queen Victoria introduced the
Balmoral skirt, it was only for a
walking petticoat in the rough roads
of Scottish highlands. American
women have since adopted the col-
ered skirt, and wear it not only out
of doors, but in the house. At all
times, and on most occasions, the
Balmoral skirt may be seen, in worst
ed or cotton fabric, worn by persons
who plead: “They wear it to save
■washing; they never could afford
white skirts that soil in a day.”
These same persons will expend dou
ble the amount of money weekly that
it cost to pay their wash bills in fool
ish trumpery to ornament the out
side. Because Balmoral skirts do
not show the dust is no reason that
they are not in an untidy condition.
A colored skirt of any kind is vulgar
and offensive, unless it be for street
wear in inclement weather.
Elegance of toilet, in man or wo
man, begins, and culminates about
the throat. The freshness,, perfect-
fitting, and manner of wearing the
collar and tie, makes or mars the
tout ensemble of the costume. The
collar should be fastened about the
neck with such neat handedness
that it should seem to have grown
there, and the ribbon or muslin tie
should be not only smoothly arrang
ed, but knotted with style and effect.
Some persons are born with the
knack of tying a bow, and others
will invariably make an awkward
apology for one.
Six Good Rules.
Mr. Greeley’s statements of what
he knew about farming have long
been made- the text for many a joke
at that practical and good man. Not
very long previous to his death he
laid dow n some maxims on that sub
ject which a good many who have
been tillers of the soil from child
hood to old age would do well to
take heed:
“1. That the area under cultiva
tion should be within the limits of
the capital and labor employed ; or
in other words, that on impoverish
ed soils no one should cultivate more
land than he could enrich with ma
nure or fertilizers, be it one acre or
twenty.
“2. That there should be a law
compelling every may to prevent his
stock from depredating on his neigh
bor’s fields.
“3. That green soiling is more
economical than loose pasturage.
“4. That deep tillage is essential
to good farming.
“5. That the muck-heap is the
farmer’s bank and that everything
should be added to it that will en
large it and increase at the same
time its fertilizing properties.
“6. That no farmer or planter
should depend upon one staple
alone, but should seek to secure
himself against serious loss in bad
seasons by diversity of products.”
