Moa&ay, Mavob. a&d, X8SBJ'
To this end weannounce our
self as the
tourtship of Mrs. Celia Thustcr, the poet
en. Her early life was spent on the Isle
of ghoals, where she still goes for the
gumrier. Her father, deceased a few
years ago, was known as tho Hermit of
the Shoals. When quite a young man,
disappointment, it is said, iu the matter of
tome political office oa which his heart
was set, caused him to become a recluse,
»nd, purchasing the island of Applcdorc
from New Hampshire for some $250, ho
erected there a small cabin. Tho delight
ful location, quiet, fair scenery, and pure
air soon attracted the attention of summer
tourists, particularly iuvalids, and requests
for board began to be received.
Gradually tho cabin was enlarged until
it had become a summer hotel, though
conducted in the most indifferent manner
as to whether guests came or went. They
were never sought after. When tho daugh
ter Ccfia reached the ago of 15 a young
lawyer at the island for his health fell in ,
love with her. Duly and respectfully ho i f i in o. rnQ f„ Q f f™- nil
requested her hand of her father, who ir- greatest gOOCl tor all
ritably ordered him off the island. Re
specting the rights of proprietorship, the
young man removed to an adjoining one,
and there erecting a little hut avowed his
intention of remaining until the daughter
became of ago, when no would many her.
Recognizing, probably, the fellow’s obsti
nacy and strong will the father relented,
stipulating for a year’s delay. That pass
ing, they were married.
Mighty Cliolco Abont Soap.
[St. Paul Pioneer Press.]
He was a dapper little fellow, and ho
tended the fancy counter in a big St.
Paul dry goods store. “You’d be sur
prised, ,y said ho to the reporter who was
trying to get a pair of silk suspenders for
50 cents, “you’u be very much surprised
to see how particular some folks are about
the things they use on their withstands.
I know gentlemen in this town who won't
hare a nail brush after it'a a bit worn,
and always buy the very beat London or
Paris mukos. They don’t ask the cost,
but just *Is it the best you’ve got?’ Same
way about tooth brushes. They often
glre up a dollar for a tooth brush because
the bristles are of the line sort tbnt come
high-high on the hog's neck, I mean.
We don’t sell sponges, but I suppose it’d
he the same about them—with tho men I
“can. Hut soaps! Well, I declare some
times it makes mo smile to see a big man
«tudy for half an hour whether he’ll have
jockey club, patchouli, rose geranium,
west end, magnolia, or new-mown hay.
These awful particular fellows won’t have
W but the French soaps. They tell me
it nays to get’em, for an 80-ccnt or $1
fake outlasts nil tho other anil cheaper
torts three times. It’s good all tho way
down too, and is sure to be old enough to
lather up well. ”
