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. ” OUR PLATFORM Low tariff on all goods used by the people, such as Dry Goods, Notions, Fancy Goods, Millinery, Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Trunks, Etc.
