STORE FIXTURES 1 TySt ftr Catalogue.. • TERRY M’F’GCQ.j nashville,tenn. “I commence next Monday, said Molly, merely, and commenced mending the lace ruffle on a white apron Harry strove for a little indif ference and composure. This was made difficult by the fact that Ce lia,Molly’s older sister., had gone behind Molly for the purpose of cojnmuuicating her sentiments to the caller, in dumb show. Her sen timents seemed to be humorous despair and resignation “-Where is the school ?” Harry inquired, stiffly. /• “Four miles north of here. Dis trict number 12,” said Molly. “Have you—positively engaged it?” For the life of him, Harry could not help gasping. He had been at’ a dance with Molly the night be fore, and sftx bad worn pink roses on a pink China silk -gowu.-V Not that the Paines were rich; bat— good gracious!—neither were they poor. “Certainly!” said Molly, “lap- plied two weeks ago, and I 'had a card from the directors yesterday. I am engaged, and am to begin next week.” Molly went to the work-table for some thread. Molly was --rather petite, with a pretty complexion, a straight small nose, a charmingly moulded mouth. She was always as proudly self-posed as though she was twice eighteen and a half, and to-day she was, to Harry Bur ton, maddeningly so. For bow long a term?” he queried, the bewildered, exasper ated, miserable feeling which had takPu posession of him deepening every minute. t “Ten weeks.” Molly threaded her needle. “Until February, theu 1” Harry murmured. “Shall you—com.e home for Sundays?” “Probably . not -often,” suid Molly. “Are you fixing that thing to wear?” Harry demanded. “This apron. Yes. You can hardly be a school-teacher without an apron,” said Mblly. She raised her pretty brows lightly at his angry vehemence. The snn struck through the win dow on her hair, which was a rich red-brown; her lips, softly parted, showed her white teeth; her blue- gray eyes were lowered. Harry Burton, throbbing with his honest love for her, which had been Jong growing within him, suf fered such a wretched pang that :-he winced. He would not be treated so like a boy—a baby! He would not pre tend anything but disgust for the nonsensical prank she was playing, it seemed to him, chiefly for his tormenting —and succeeding, if so. “Good-by, then!” he said, coolly rising. “I’m going to Pomeroy to morrow, and if you leave next week, good-by!” He shook bauds with Celia warmly, and with Molly distantly, and stalked out. Celia took him to the front door, Celia was pretty, too. “I don’t know,” she murmured, frowning in sympathy wiih the irate young man, and smiling because she couldn’t help it, “what ails Molly. It’s ridiculous. We’ve all talked.and argued and implored and herd’s the result. I was sure she’d back out, and I haven’t said a word:to anybody about it.- Pve been positively ashamed to. But she’s going to* do it—she actually ia -and now it will have to come out \I don’t know what all the girls will say. IP she’d ever done anything of the kind before—or ii she needed the money—or if— anything! But for Molly to do it!” Celia laughed, helplessly. • Bntthis was unsatisfactory. that Molly was hart, or incensed, or jealous, or—being at sea to the cause, Celia could not rightly guage Molly’s emotions; but she knew something was wrong. .How could she tell him that she deemed Molly’s startling act td’be a rebellious, indignant attempt to even matters—to show him her in difference—to go away from him altogether, and let him see how se renely she could do it Celia knew not the reason of her pretty sister's dudgeon. How, then, could she impart to her pret ty sister’s admirer her vague sus picious? He was an admirer only—not a finacee. It would be manifestly improper. Celia remained silent. 'Ml, gt>od:by!” said Molly’s admirer. and bright. And the visitor was in for half an hour of it. Oddly enough, he was conscious of a feeling of comfort such as he had not known for many days! Molly was here, at least, near him, though.she was giving all her at tention to a geography class. He felt a' thrill of happiness in her mere bright presence—brown dress and white apron and all. Besides, the room was clean and pleasant, in spite of hackneyed His tone was funeral; so was his expression. He drifted down, the path as though it made no differ ence where he went to. He di vined that Celia was laughing, and he did not care. He felt desper ate. He told himself that he would go over to Celia in a minute, if she wasn’t spoken for. He was siok of Molly’s freaks and whims. In view of this absurd affair, it seem ed to him that she alw&ys had been whimsical—which was an in justice. Teaeh school—a district school! She was out of her senses. What did she mean by it? Harry felt an all but uncontroll able wish to go back and shake her.* He thrust his hands into his overcoat pockets and whistled dis mally. Wiiy, he shouldn’t see her again, he didn’t know when. He was more - than dismal; he was angry and sulky. He felt the need of a little comfort and mental quietude, and he thought he would go around and see Alvira; and act ing on the resolve, turned into a side street and knocked at a mod est door. The week which followed was one which he never forgot, for in it lay his first taste of real unhap piness, which grew into settled doom. He went to the lecture alone. He had been wont to take Molly Paine to everything of merit that cams along. He went sleighing; and felt so wretchedly lonesome that he got home as quick as pos sible. He went to a small party, afid grew to positively dislike the pretty girl.he took in to supper and went home with, because she was not Molly Paine; Hef ussed and moped and chafed, and on Friday afternoon he went to see Celia: “Do you expect Molly to-night?” he leaked. And when' Celia said no,he got up and went out like one in a dream, or like a young man possessed of a single idea—an idea he had battled against, but which had overcome him. He went home, got bis horse into bis cutter, took- some hot bricks and a soapstone and went off in senrch of district number twelve. He found it by dint of industri ous inquirj. Within a short space he was pulling up at the door of a little schoolhouse, which bad been white once and was brown now, set in the middle of a big bare yard. - The snow was up to the fence on either side, being tramped down in the middle by’many small feet. “Dismalest holel ever struck!’’ Harry muttered, and tied his horse at the one post and strode to the door, Molly answered his knock— Molly herself; Molly in a brown dress and white apron—looking rather prettier than ever before' and ten times as captivating. Her lover’s heart rose to his throat and he stammered, over the greeting he’ had meant to utter with dignity.- s He fancied that Molly gasped chalk-dust. And the school which numbered twenty-five, was very decent-ap pearing; Harry admitted that. The children were red-cheeked and healthy, the older girls were good- looking and the boys manly. The crackling fire made the was not Molly. Now he abomi nated her. “Is she crazy?” he. fumed. “She said she had heard it.” • “But, anybody s knows better— everybody! You, Molly! Have y8u lived in Perry all your days not to know that I’m Alvira Aus ten’s cousin?” “I knew you were some, distant connection,” Molly whispered, try ing to get her hand free, and fail ing. “I’m her ‘first cousin ’ third re move,’ as they say. We’re third co.usins. Well, and you know she’s ‘quite some’ older"than I?” “I didn’t think that made any difference. She’s pretty and styl ish. “So she is; and a good girl be- THE TRAINING OF CITIZENS! of mottoes on the walls and floating side!” said Harry, warmly. “There great black stove seem cheerful and the little old melodeon' by the platform created a home-like at mosphere. There were evergreen festoons over the windows and some plants on the sills. It was decidedly cozy. Molly’s lover sat in a sort of lethargic calm. The geography class was reciting chief cities and principal rivers-in a monotonously soothing way. The warmth of the room, after his cold, long drive, had a dulling effect—as did his subtle, growing happiness after his long dreariness. He was almost sleepy. He wore a bland, contented smile which puzzled the school—thfe scholars, admired - him, however. He was not very distinctly aware of anything; he knew a history class succeeded the geography, and a spelling class the history, and that Molly was speaking to the school in her bright tones—some thing about next week’s work; and that she was giving a military sounding order—one, two, three; and that the school was filing out with well trained precision; and that at last, he and Molly 1 were left alone in the warm cherry, dusty schoolroom. “Did you—did you come to take me home?” she said hurriedly.and bieathlessly, as though afraid of the-silence. And she went to the far end of the room and began erasing figures from the blackboard. * “That’s what!” said Harry! em phatically. “Don’t you waut to go? I’ll bring you back Monday morn ing.” A faint murmur in reply. “I thought you’d give it up after a week of it Shaft you? Do you like your boarding place?” Molly erased in silence. “It’s a jolly little school,” he burst forth, warmly, “and you’re a jolly little teacher! I don’t care what you’re doing it tor—it’s is a gorgeous success!” - All his bitterness was gone, and he laughed light-heartedly and im moderately. Molly rubbed away, her face' in visible. “Molly,” he cried, “what is the matter?”- He was over at thd blackboard the next minute. Molly was crying. It was more than her lover could credit, but she was crying. “You—you came so suddenly!” she whispered, chokingly. “I was not looking for you, and—ob, dear!” She gave up and turned away, helplessly- tearful. But Harry turned around, too, and—by no means conld he help it —put his strong and comforting arm around her. It was a question after that of who.should break tke4ulence, which stretched itself alarmingly. Harry did at last. For a light had broken over him, he meant to sift matters. What made yon do itj Molly ?” he demanded. “Was it—could it be anything to do with me?” A silence, and then a low mqr- is'only one prettier and better. Well, and you knew sbe was going to marry Mr. John Chapman, of Pomeroy, next March—the cloth ier, you know. “No, I never!” said Molly, stout ly- “She is, though, and a good match he is. One thing you did know, Molly,” said Harry gravely, “and that is-that I never cared for any but you, and never would and never could. To have doubted what you knew so well, all for a nonsensical rumor! Molly!” He softly boxed her ears. “Come now,” he" said, when a second happy silence was over— and he laughed again—merciless ly—“come, you’re not going to teach school any longer? Now that you’ve proven that you’re utterly indifferent to me, and entirely able to take care of yourself, and more than anxious to get along without me, won’t you say good-bye to dis trict number twelve?’ “Never,” said Molly—“never! m a tremendous success. The school likes me, and the parents are pleased with me, and the di rectors are delighted. I’m a revo lution, a cyclone, and I’m going to stay. * You can come after me Fri day nights and bring me back Monday mornings, if you choose, bpt I stay!” “You can use the vast wealth yon will accumulate in the purchase of your—ahem!—trousseau,’’her lover observed, with tender irony. He did come after her Friday nights ana bring her back Monday mornings That-was Molly’s last effort at school teachiug, but neither she nor her lover regretted the little episode. They were the happiest ten weeks they had ever known. And she did use her money for her trousseau, the next spring; for their wedding followed Alvira’s shortly.--Saturday night.

The university of the City New York presented to fourteen bright women, a few evenings ago, certificates showiug their success in passing the examinations on the work in the law conrse of-that in stitution. The concluding remarks of the valedictorian, Mrs. Theodore Su tra, explain the motive which actu ated her in taking up the study of law. “Not because I intend to be- come a practicing attorney, or want to run for congress, but be cause Itim a member of the hu man family, and because there is no,nobler or more elevating study, or one that has a greater tendency to make-me a more intelligent, lib eral-minded, and, withal, better woman.” It does not seeipi that there is auy prospect 'of such a wholesonfe principle as is here announced af fecting any change in the course of study in our public schools. It is beginning to be understood that any public school system which does not recognize its responsibili ty as the state’s ageut for the mak ing of enlightened citizens is de fective and sadly in need of re-or- gwnization; but it cannot be said that thenrjs any de'mand in our section of the country that the in cubus oE useless school-room tasks shall be removed from the list of requirements set before the pupil, and substitutes therefore provided in the adoption of treatises on the fundamental principles of common law, end on the essertial features of political economy, as items in the regular course of - study for boys and girls alikeT The mother who appreciates to the full, the Jesuit’s claim as to a child’s remarkable susceptibility to the influences which in so short a time mold his character for good and all, does not stop to think how her tender anxiety concerning the manners and morals which her boy shall carry into the social world lakes no account, of the peculier temptations which will assail him in what may be termed his civic pursuits. Her neglect springs from ignorance of the things com monly considered ofVo interest to woman, because, perhaps, of her entire disconnection, as aii-.active participant, with them. Were every woman in the land acquainted with the workings even of our courts, with the power and the responsibility of the ballot,and the j’eopardy attending its misuse; with the significance of political parties in an essential and not a partisan sense, then we might hope that otir great republic need not be driven to the pass of de pending on repression of evil to save her institutions from disaster. The men who framed this wonder- snl triune government counted on something better than our use of it 'hen develops! They prophe sied a ballot guarded by a more spiritual power than that which recommends the Australian scheme or any other ingenious arrange ment whose inception began with the recognition of man’s depravi- If the Jesnit priest was willing to relinquish the child of twelve, feeling no fears in .prosselyting zeal in after years being able to shake its religious faith, what might not the mother hope to do for her coantry by giving her boy to the world with the plain truths of perfect citizenship firmly fixed in his mind and heart?- , Knowing these truths,she can qiagnify them; ignorant oftliem, she lays upon her son none of the restraints which might come to him with thoughts of his early training, iir a thousand crises of public life. It has been stated by good au thority that two wagers concerning woman’s acquaintance with public affairs brongbt some remarkable revelations dnring the crowded season at a health resort well known to Georgians. These wagers were to the effect that not ou2 of the twenty bright women chatting so delightfully on the long west veranda,if asked to do it, could tell the difference between a petty-jury and a grand jury, nor explain the workings of the electo ral college—not One of them. J’he first wager was lost, oat and ont; for one demure matron gave a fair explanation of the differences be tween the two juries, but the elec toral college went by tbe board! A few had heard of it, bat not one knew where the institution' was lo cated, nor who its president was, Savannah News. The series of articles in the North American Review, relative to the proper use to. be made of wealth, written by Andrew Carne gie, Mr. Gladstone, Gardihal Man ning and Cardinal Gibbons, have attracted a great deal of attention. The last of the series is by Cardi nal Gibbons, and it appears iD the April nhrnber of the Review. 'It ia entitled “Wealth and Its Obliga tions.” The motive for the writing of these articles is fonndin the rapid increase in the amount and num ber of great fortunes, sud the gradual widening of the golf which separates the rich from the poor. The wealth of the world is increas ing at a rate that almost surpasses belief, but it is being concentrated in a. comparatively few hands. And the greater this concentration the more dissatisfied the poor ^become. In his article Andrew Carnegie said that it was the duty of a rich man to-live unostentatiously,shnn- niDg display and extravagance, and, after providing for those de pendent upon him, to hold the re mainder of his wealth as a trnst fund to be used for the benefit of those less fortunate than himself. * Mr. Carnegie is acting, to some ox- tent, in accordance with these views. He has already invested several millions of dollars' tor the benefit of the poor. Cardinal Gibbons commends the views of Mr. Garnigie in so tar as they favor the distribution of tbe surplus wealth of the rich among the poor. He treats the snbject, however, from the standpoint of a ' Christian rather than that of a statesman or philanthropist He thinks that the selfishness display ed by the rich hardens, the hearts of the poor against religious influ ences. He says. “Those familiar with the daily lives and sentiments of tbe laboring classes know what a stumbling-block to their faith is pious pennrionsness, tbe charity that, begins and ends .at borne. They cannot reconcile godliness and greed. For most, other forms of human weakness there is toler ance, even at times compassion; but for the man who acknowledges oar common fatherhoed and broth erhood, with his hands tightly closed upon his purse-strings,there is a fierce contempt, ‘corses lond and deep.’. It may safely be af firmed that one sanctimonious mi serly millionaire in a community works moreReadly harm to Chris tianity than a dozen isolated cases of burglary or drunkenness. In Europe, we are told by competent authorities, the desperation of the poor is fast driving them - into atheism.” Wealth has responsibilities which few rich men recognize in the way they should recogniza them. They do not in any sense regard them selves ae trustees of that part of their wealth for which -they have no use. They do not think that those less fortunate than them selves have any claim upon their sarplaB riches, and they do not seem to care if their extravagance, their ostentations display of their possessions, and their selfishness, have a bad effect upon the commu nity in which they live. If the mntterings of their less fortunate brethren fail to arouse them to a sense of their responsi bilities, it is a question wbether the state should not do so for the common good. either.
