SUBSCfGSF. ~ ADVERTISE FOR. IN THE HQME JOURNAL Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. Down in the valley, the clock of Osborne Ghnrch had jnst struck ^twelve, the sounds coming in muf tied throbs through the waves of feathery, fast falling snow, and Miss Almira Brown, making her way across the- deserted' church yard, stopped to listen, with one hand behind her ear. “Sounds dreadful uatuial,” said she. “Seems like only yesterday I was here instead of eighteen good years. I wish it would’t snow so! It’s sort o’ bewilderin’. I believe I’m off the true path ag’in. I don’t really know if I’m close to the north wall by Deacon Linsley’s grave, or down under the. hill where Dewey’s two daughters are buried. I wonder,” with a little shiver, “if there is really such a thing as a ghost? And if there was, would’t it'be strange and sort o’ creepy-like to meet one, spookin’ round here in the snow on Saint Valentine’s Eve? Most folks would say that was a sign of speedy death; end the Browns never were a long- lived family. Oh, here I be!” as she perceived, through the glim mering veil of white, the black outlines of a rude stone stile. “I guess I’ll find my way all rignt- now.” Carrying her carpet-bag in her hand, Miss Almira made a plunge for the high road, and presently stood under the porch of a pretty, old-fashioned house, a story and a half high, with brooding eaves that came nearly to the ground, and windows barred with wooden shat ters, plaintedred. ’Hump!” cantinued Almira, stamping the snow from, her sub stantial calf-skin boots, and chang ing the carpet-bag from one band to the other. “Zenas has had the fence repaired and a uew gale put in.” She knocked vigorously at the door. No reply came. She knock ed aguiu, still with no better suc- cess.--“ __ “Just like Zenas,” muttered she. “The most abseni-mindedest cree- tur that ever lived—to go off the very night he expected; his only sister to come home. 1 never’d ha’ left Canaan Centre to come back here and. keep for him if I’d’a suspected such treatment as this However, doctors have got excuses that other folks hain’t, especially country dcctors, 1 dare say Zenas had a sadden call, _ and I guess likely I’ll find the door-key in the old place.” She stooped down, and lifting the corner of the door-mat fished out'a big brass key, wherewith she proceeded to open the door and ad mit herself into a little carpeted entry, ’ where a- kerosene lamp burned low on the. table. “I do declare,” said Almira, “he’s fixed up things real nice. A carpet on the floor, and new paper, on the walls.. I guess he meant to give me a surprise. Here’s the teapot on the kitchen stove. Zenas always wa5"partial to a enp o’ tea—and a good fire, too. I’ll jest set down and dry myself a spell before I look aronnd. Zenas’ll be back directly, I hain’t no doubt!” . The warmth and quiet of the cozy little kitchen acted as a so porific on the chilled and wearied traveler, and the first thing she knew the-clock in. the. corner was striding one, a:ul turning with a sadden start, she saw a short, stout man on the threshold staring at her. , .. “What do you want?” she de manded, curtly, remembering, with a pang of terror, that she had forgotten to relock the door, in her amazement at the new paper and the striped carpet in the hall “The doctor ain’t at home, and -I don’t know when he’ll be back.” “I don’t want the doctor,” said the short man. “Then,” said Almira, rising to the .emergency, “you’re a buglar, and you’d better clear out o’ this!” She seized the poker and ad vanced resolutely toward him. “Look here, ma’am,” said- Hie stranger. “I won’t look,” shrilly uttered Miss Almira. “I’m in charge here, and—” At this moment she caught the toe of her calfskin boot in the thrifty rag rag that lay in front of the fire and stumbled, and as she did so, the poker flew out of her and and went hurtling through the air, bitting the strange man on the side of the head. Miss Almira was appalled, she scrambled to her feet, to see him stagger backward to a chair, with a dnll red stream trickling down his face. , “Good, laud!” she ejaculated, “I’ve killed the burglar! I’m a murderer, and never meant it, neither!” “It’s your own fault,” she added. “Why did yon come burgling here? Be you much hurt? Oli, dear! oh, dear! why don’t he speak to me? Why don’t Zenas come? Where’s my camphor bottle? Oh, my goodness! I .do hope he ain’t going to die right here on the kitchen hearth!” The sound of sleigh-bells out side chimed joyfully upon her ears. She laid the strong man’s head carefully down on a pillow impro vised out of her own carpet-bag, and rushed wildly out, holding the kerosine lamp high above her head. “Come in, whoever yon be!” she screamed. “Help! help!” The passer-by drew reigu. “Hullo!” said he, “Ain’t this my sister Almira Brown?” “Why,” cried \ the bewildered spinster, “it’s Zenas. Where have yon been so long?” “I’ve been to see a sick patient,” the country doctor made answer. “What’s the matter Almira! When did you come?” “I’ve killed a burglar!” faltered the woman. “Do come in quick, Zenas, aud see if you can do any thing! I don’t s’pose they’ll hang me, do you, if it was done in self- defense? And I didn’t do it, either —it done itself.” “Here—in this house?” , “Why certainly! Where should it be?” “But what was yon doing hero^ Almira?” as hp slowly unwound himself from fur robes and.bnffalo- skin cushions, and dismounted from the little red cutter with slow, cramped movements. “Doin’here! Why waiting for you.” “For me, Almira? ’ . “Good gracious,—Zenas, !l hope you ain’t gettin’ hard-o’ bearin’ in your old age! For yon, of coarse.” “But, Almira, I don’t live here!” Miss Almira had nearly dropped the kerosene lamp into a snow drift in her consternation. “Not live here?” she echoed. “Why, no. I liv9 in the old house a quarter-mile further on— don’t ye remember—under the old buttonball tree.” “I thought the old_ buttonball tree had been cat down!” gasped Almira. “And this is jnst the samellort o’ house.” “It’s one that Silas Stafford- built, after the same gin’ral pat tern,” said Zenas. “A reg’lar old bachelor. And lives here by him self. Do you mean to say, Almira, he is hurt?” \ By way of an answer, Almira en ergetically poshed her brother in ti the kitchen, where by this time the injured man was sitting up on the hearth, looking Vaguely aronnd him. “Eh?” said Zenas Brown, cheer fully. “What’s the matter? Jnst a little skin cat—that’s all. And yet you’re weak with loss of blord. Til soon fix you up. A pretty Saint Yalentine’s Day yon’ll have, and the mails to be sorted out!” “For he’s the" - " postmaster, ■Almira,” he added lo his sister. “Been here two years now. Fetch in a bowl of warm water, and just hand over yonr-pocket handker chief, Si mirs ” “Oh, dear, can’t I sort the mails, Zenas?” faltered Miss Almira. “I used often to do it at Canaan Cen tre, when the postmaster was bnsy invoicing railroad freight.” “I guess yon’ve . done about enough already, Almira,” said Zenas, with a sly chuckle. All night long Almira sat np, changing the bandages on poor CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY. “He’s all right now,’' said the country doctor. “Ain’t yon, sir?” Silas Salford nodded, cheerfully: “She’s been proper good to me,” said he, with n glance . at Almira. “It wasn’t no fault o’ hern. She s’posed this was your house and tlial I was a burglar. She did quite right” “lt-wern’t me!” almost sobbed Almira. “The poker flew right outen my hands like it was be witched,” “And,” ndded Zenas, “Abiali Crook he’s took charge o’ the post- office, and distributed the mail, and sent out the bags, and all that. And here’s a Valentine for you,-Si,' all lace paper an’ roses; an’ I’ll bet it’s from your old sweetheart, Sally Dawson, at Lam’s Settle ment.” Bat Silas made no attempt to open it “Nonsense!” said he, ungra ciously pushing the missive away. “I don’t care nothingabout no val entine. And, besides—” “Eh?” “Yonr sister—she was the first woman I caught sight of on-Saiiit Yalentine’s Day,” sheepishly re r marked Silas.' “Well, if we come to the rights ■of the thing, the poker, was yonr valentine, I guess,” chuckled Zenas. And Almira, choking with rage and 'mortification, hurried out- of the room, caught up her bonnet and shawl and went home. “I never shall dare to look him in the face again!” she sobbed, as she went to work to get dinner for her brother. But she did. She took- him a bowl- of toothsome chicken sonp that very noon, and by common consent they avoided the question of the poker. A month passed by—six weeks. The April wild flowers began to peep out from under the layers of dead leaves in the woods, and Almirn had a pink and fragrant cluster of trailiug arbutus in her bund one day when she met Silas Safford coming home with the key of-the postoffice dangling over his finger. ^ “Yon’re fretting about some thing, Almirn,” said he, pausing to greet her. ■ ; _ “Yes,” said she frankly, “I. am. Zenas is going to be married to Widow Parlet, and be* ain’t no more use for me. I've got to back to Canaan Centre, and—” Silas deliberately put the key iu his pocket, so as to leave both hands free, and took Almira, trail ing arbutus and all, into bis capa- •cious grasp. “Stay!” said he. “Don’t go. If Zenas can get married, so can yon. I meant it, Almira, that day when I said you were my valentine. I mean it now. Don’t go ' back to Canaan Centre. Stay here with me!” Almira's eyes—bright, cheerful brown orbs they were—sparkled; a smile dawned around her lips. “Ain’t you afraid,” she said in a low voice, “of me hittin’ you again with the pbker?” “No,” said he, “I ain’t." “And we’re too advanced iu life,” she hesitated, “to talk about valen tines like the young folks.” “No we ain’t,” protested Silas Safford. “I’m yonr valentine, and you’re mine, if we was as old as Metbnselan.

A mind capable of di recting one in the right coarse makes success almost certain. A youngiinan starting in life shonld so conduct himself as to command the respect and confidence of all with whom he comes in contact. The way in which he is regarded by others will have a powerful in fluence on his future. To disre gard the opinions of. others is to invite failnre. Without economy no man can sncceed, even if he were placed in circnmstances where there are large gains. His profits would not be lasting, for he wonld not be pre pared to withstand reverses, which are likely to come to any man. He must be always ready to meet set bocks.
