Newspaper Page TextHIS FIRST LOVE. I remember Meeting you In September, Sixty-two. We were eating, Both of us; ; And the meeting Happened thus: ' Accidental, On the road - (Sentimental 1 Episode), .-; I was gushing, You were Bhy; You were blushing So was I ; I was smitten,' So were you (All that's written Here is true); Any money? Not a bit. Rather funny, V Wasn't it? Vows we plighted Happy pair! How delighted ' . ; People were I 1 But your father To be sure Thought it rather Premature; And your mother Strange to say Was another . In the way. What a heaven Vanished then (You were Haven, I was ten)l That was many Years ago . Don't let any Body know. NEEDLE AND THREAD. "An old bachelor?" said Honora May- wood. . "That's . what he told me, jast in so many words." naid Mrs. Pennypacker, who stood on the threshold of her best room, with her head tied up in a pocket handkerchief, and a hair-broom in her hand, wherewith Bite gesticulated, after a trasic fashion, oa she talked, while Miss Maywood, who was tall and slender as a wild lily, stood in the hall, with a roll of music under her arm and her slicrht figure ' wrapped in a shabby shawl, "And he's willing to pay me cash price every Sunday. A ever attempted to beat me down a penny, if you'll be lieve it, my dear. . "Why should he?M said Honora. "Most people, do my dear," said Mrs Pennypacker. "A wrinkled old widow like me, who has her living to earn, is mostly fair game for everybody. But he never objected to my terms. A real gentleman, my dear every inch of 'him. But he's a little particular, I'm afraid." "I suppose old bachelors are." said Miss Maywood. smiling. Vies, my dear-yes!" nodded Mrs. Pennybacker. "But this gentleman is beyond the average, I think. v "And if he is?" "Nothing," said Mrs. Pennypacker making a dab with her broom handle a a stray moth miller which was fluttering blindly against tho garnet damask win now 'curtains; "nothing, except one don't know where to have him. He drinks only English breakfast tea, and li wants his pie crust made with the best Alderney butter, instead of lard, as good enough for other people; and he must have ventilators to ail his windows and an open grate instead of the base burning stove, and I hope vou'll not be offended, my 'dear but he particularly dislikes a piano. "Dislikes a piano?" said the little music teacher, reddening in spite of her self. "Aud he says, says he: 'IJiope, Mrs Pennypacker, that there is no piano in the house. A piano,' says he, 'plays the deuce with my nervous system, with its everlasting turn, turn!' These were his words So I courtesies, and, says I 'You'll be troubled with one here, sir and so, my dear, I'll be grateful if you wont mind dom your practicm unti he's out for his daily walk from one to three, just as regular as the clock!" Miss Maywood looked up pitiously in the landlady's face. "I will do anything to oblige you, Mrs. Pennypacker," she said earnestly. "I have not forgotten how much I am indebted to you both in actual money 'and in kindness, which money can never i repay. And her. soft blue eyes , filled with tears as she spoke. "My dear, don't say a word," said Mrs. Pennypacaer, hastily. "You've been sick, and it's quite natural that you should be low spirited now and then. But you musu't get discouraged. Things will look up after awhile. And you are quite welcome to stay until you are able to settle up your little account." Honora Maywood sighed as she thought how of ten her little advertise ment Jiad been inserted in the daily newspapers without attracting the least notice from the world of patrons and pupils. There were so many "capable teachers willing to give lessons at mod erate prices" nowadays, and how was any one to know how sorely she needed the money? . . And as time crept on and no pupils came, Honora began to ask'seriously whether she go out in some menial capa city or stay - genteely at home ani starve. "Clothes, ma'am." Honora started from her reverie as the washerwoman's stumpy girl banged her self, like a human battering ram, up . ablest the door, with a preposterously . large basket on her arm. "Yes," said Honora, coloring. "Put ; them down Sally. But I I'm afraid 'it isn't convenient to pay your mother to-day." "Mother didn't say nothin 'bout the pay with said Sally, wiping her forehead a whisk of her apron, sniffling' her self nearly off her feet, "I was to leave the clothes with her 'umble doty, and shd 'oped they'd suit; but it was that damp on Monday and Tuesday as starch wouldn't stick. And she 'opes you'll excuse all mistakes, as they'll be done better next time." "I dare say they are quite right," said Honora, with a little sigh, as she mar velled at this unexpected access of courtesy on the part of her Milesian laundress. But when Sally had stamped off down stairs, her flapping slippers beating a sort of tattoo as she went, and Miss May wood took off the fringed towel that cov ered the basket of clothes, she gave a lit tle start. "Shirts," said Honora, "and socks.and turuoYer collars, No. 15, and great big pockethandkerchiefs, like, the sails of a ehip, and white vests.and goodness me! what does it all mean? Mrs. Mulvey has sent me some gentleman's, wardrobe by mistake. I must send these things back at once." '-''A But then Miss Maywood looked down at the articles in grave consideration. "I never had a brother." mused Miss Maywood, "and I can't remember my father; but of this I am xrte certain, if I bad either one or the other, I should thank a girl to mend their dilapidated wardrobes, if they looked like this. And Mrs. Mulvey can't send before night,and unfortunately I have nothing to do, so I'll just mend this poor young fellow's clothes, whoever he may be. A half starved theological student, perhaps. - training for the Polynesian Islands, or perhaps a newspaper reporter, or a pale clerk under the dazzling skylights of some dry goods palace. At all events, he s worse off than I am for he can 5 mend his own clothes and I can." And the smiles dimpled around Honora May wood's little rosebud of a mouth as she sat down to darn holes, sew on tapes and insert patches. ; "He II never know whd did it, said Honora toherself, "but I dare say hell be thankful; and if one can get a chance to do a little good iii this world one ought not to grudge one's time and trouble." And as Honora stitched away she mused sadly whether or not she ought to accept a position which had offered itself as assistant matron in an orphan asylum, whore the work would be almost unen durable, and the pay hext to nothing, with no Sundays or holidays, and a ladies committee, consisting of three starched old maid?, to "sit" on her the first Friday of every month. "il almost think I'd rather starve. "said Honora. "But, dear me, starving is serious business.when one comes to con sider it face to face. Sally Mulvey came back puffing and blowing like a human whale in about two hours. ' . . . . J . "Mother says she sent the wrong basket, said she breathlessly. "I thought it very probably, Sally, said Miss Maywood. f "And mother's compliments," added Sally, "and she can't! undertake your things no longer, Miss Maywood, cause she does a cash business, and there am t nothing been paid on youraocount since last June. j Honora felt her face turning scarlet. "1 am very sorry, &auy. Tell ; your mother I will settle my pill as soon a3 possibly can." bally flounced out of the room red and indignant, like an overcharged thunder cloud, and poor littler Honora, drop ping her head into her hands, burst into tears. "Pretty girl, that, very pretty," said Mr. Eroderick. the old bachelor, to his landlady. "Do you mean" "I mean the young l?dy boarder of yours that I see on the stairs now and then," said Mr. Broderiqk. "Nice figure big, soft eyes, like a gazelle. Didn't some one tell me that she was a music teacher?" I "That's her profession," said Mrs. Pennypacker. "But there ain't many pupils a3 want tuition, land, poor little dear, she has but a hard time of it "Humph!" grunted (Mr. Broderick "TVhat fools women are to have a regu lar profession. If I had a daughter 1 would bring her up a self-supporting institution. And Mr. Broderick disappeared into his room in the midst whereof stood girl with flapping slippers.a portentuous shawl and bonnet, which had originally been manufactured for! a woman about twice her size. "Who are you?" demanded Mr. Brod erick. ! "Please, sir. I'm Sally the washer woman's Sally," was the response. "And what do you want here said Mr. Broderick. j "Please, sir, 1 ve come to bring your things, said she, chattering off her les son like a parrot. "And please, sir. her 'umble duty, and she 'opes they'll suit it was that damp and iuuggv Monday and Tuesday, as starch wouldn't stick and she 'opes you'll excuse all mistakes as they shall be done better next time sir, please, sir." I "Who mended 'em?" demanded Mr Broderick, whose hawk eye had already caught sight of the dainty needlework upon his garments, j "Nobody mended ra" said Sally "And mother she says it a easy to see as the new gent is a bachelor on acoount o the holes in his heels abd toes and the strings off his dickeys.f "I cantell you who nended 'em" said Mrs. .fenny paefcer, "iqr l see her at the pretty Mias Maywood! And says she, 'I don t know whose they are, Mrs .Pennypacker, but, says she, 'they need mending and a kind action never comes amiss.' No more it does, sir, Lord bless her!" "Humph!" said Mr. SBroderick, "she's right no more it does. And she's regular scientist at the needle, is Miss Maywood. Just look at that patch, Mis Pennypacker! 'EluCid's geometry could n t produce a Btraiguter line or truer angles. See the toe of that stock ing! It's like a piece tf Gobelin tapes try. That's the wav I like to stife things done!"- - .-..-.. j And Mr." Broderick never rested until he had been introduced to Honora May wood, and he thanked her with equal for mality for the good offices sho had un wittingly rendered him. It was a golden October evening "that Honora came down into the kitchen, where Mrs. Pennypacker was baking pie for her eccentric boarder, with the crusts made of the best Alderney butter instead of lard. i ': "Oh, dear! oh, dearfj siid Mrs. Penny packer, "what a thing it is to be an old bachelor." j "He won't be a I bachelor much longer," said Honora, laughing and col oring, as she laid her cheek on the good landlady's shoulder, j "What do you mean?" aske 1 Mrs. Pennypacker. t "He asked me to marry him," said Honora, "after only two weeks acquain tance. He says that a girl who can mend stockings as I do, needs no other test. And he says Le and" "Well?" "I almost think I pered Miss Maywood. And so the problem loves me; and ove him!" whis- of Honora's soli- tary life was solved, ! all through the magic influence of "Needle and Thread." A Lost Heibess. The Dublin papers state that an English solicitor has arrived at Kingstown in seirch of a missing young lady, who, by the death of her father, a baronet, has become heiress to a fortune of 10,000 per annum. Differ ent accounts are given of the circum stances. One story is to the effect that the lady was residing in Kingstown some years ago, and suddenly disappeared, her whereabouts since not-being known. Another statement is that the young lady when a babe vrai left at the door of a charity institution by her parents, who came over from England, the father hav ing married beneath his station, and that the . search , is now being instituted for her by the widowed mother. "Here," said a pleasant-looking caller to the editor, "just take this and insert it to fill up," and the! editor took it and filled up. Pf S. Xt was a demijohn of J h.entncky whisky. Tha Time of Day. "Sir, you should.'wear an open-faced watch if you desire to be accurate in your time," said a watchmaker on Chestnut street to the stout man; "you are too magnetic." "Why, what the deuce, has the case got to do with it?" was the interrogative reply. ".Every thing. Your watch has a hunt ing case, necessitating steel spring for opening and shutting. By constant as sociation with your body those springs become magnetized, and they generate their condition to other necessarily steel portions of the watchworks, and thus render their movements imperfect." "Then, u I were not fat my watch would not lose two minutes, more or less, a day," said the unzzled stout man. - "Exactly," returned the watchmaker, "I have worn your watch for over a week, and it has neither gained nor lost a dozen seconds; but then I am, from a corporal point of view, your antithesis. I am exceptionally thin and slender." The stout man mused. "Accordingly, said he; "open-faced thinkers for fat men, closed cases for thin, eh?" "Not at all," replied the other. "Thin men have at times more magnetism in their systems than fat men. Everybody 4 is more or les3 magnetic; you happen to be particularly so; I happen to be quite the reverse; hence my remarks and ad vice. For the rest, open-faced watches are always more accurate ,than huntere. They are more airtight for one things As for the steel springs in hunting cases, mtchanical science has not yet discov ered anything else to replace them ; the public like double cases, and there the matter remains for tho present. There are, however, many ill contrived por tions in watches, and while the demand continues for watches of a certain price it is impossible from a commercial point of view, to think of improvements. Long used methods and ingenious engines have been specially provided to fashion and cut out every one of the minute parts which go to compose the existing instrument. Every watch consists of over 200 pieces, em ploying over 200 persons, distributed among forty trades, to say nothing of the toolmakers for the artisans. If the con struction of the watch was materially al tered all the trades would have to be re learned, new tools and wheel cutting en gines would have to be devised, and the majority of working watchmakers be come useless. The consequence would be that the watch would become enor mously enhanced in value and its posses sion a token of wealth. You see, in your complicated state of society even ma chines in tho process of time come to surround themselves with a circle of ' V W A J V J ,.VU U. Uri A UMU V tempts at improvement." "You are interesting me," remarked the stout customer, as he placed his his watch in his pocket. "Yoa have been many years, I suppose, in the busi ness. Of course, there must have been some improvements in your time?" "Of course. Watches during the past ten years have grown much thickness. Old-fashioned watches are thin and fiat. I have had a watch in my charge as flat as a trade dollar. It is impossible to properly adjust the works for heat, cold and position under such circumstances. I should have to give you a long explan ation of the packing of mechanism to ex plain to you why." ' "Well, has the increased thickness raised the value?" "No. On the contrary, watches are worth 25 per cent, less than they were twelve years ago. That act you will say bears against my previous remarks. I am referring to the cheaper grade of watches worn by the majority of people. There are watches which bring 1500, and watches which can be purchased for $18 a dozen. If you are willing to pay for costly work almost anything can be accomplished, "I made a watch for a physician which fitted in a signet ring not much larger than a pea. It had only second hands. It was perfectly accurate, and was used by the doctor in timing the pulse of his patients. That cost 400. Watches are made from the size of a ten cent piece to half a dollar, and worn as trinkets by the ladies. They are also fixed in bracelets, brooches, tops and pencils, eye-glasses, and even umbrella handles; but they are very luxurious toys." The stout man paid his bill and went home. HOUSEHOLD ITEH8. In bottonhole stitching the bottom of a flannel skirt, double the flannel as if to hem it, and baste it in place. This will give firmness to it, and it will last twice as long. A simple, stylish and inexpensive pres ent for a lady to give a gentleman friend is a band to mark his hat or cap. Take a ribbon that will snit the fancy of the giver and either paint or embroider the owner's name upon it. These are much used on the caps that are now worn. A beautiful handkerchief case may be made out of pale blue, pink or garnet colored satin, to be marked off into small diamonds with pearl beads. This case is made alike on both the outside and inside, and the marking can be ac complished on both sides at once. This is pretty for a birthday or wedding present. :-.--..-: Cold boiled parsnips, cut in slices and fri -d in batter, make a good side dish. If the family is large, and it is of im portance to economize butter, take ore or two thin slices of pork and fry them. When they are almost done, put the pieces of parsnip in the frying-pan with the pork, and brown them. A lump of butter can be added to give flavor to the fat. While ink stains are yet wet upon tbe carpet, sponge them with skim milk thor oughly; then wash ont the milk with a clean sponge dipped again and again in clean, cold water. Exchange this pres ently for warm, and then rub dry with a cloth. If the stain is upon any article of clothing or table or bed linen, wash well in the milk, afterward in the water. Dry ink stains can be removed from white cloth by oxalic acid. Tbe editor of the Crosby county Clar ion and Farmer's Vindicator thought he would double his circulation by prom ising to publish biographical sketches of his patrons. Some of the patrons liked the idea very much, and took several hundred copies to send to their friends, but the majority of the patrons, who had been indicted in other State 3 before they came to Texas, paid as high a twenty dollars to . have their biographical sketches suppressed. The plan worked like a charm, and the editor, from com parative poverty, has soared up to posi tive afuuenco.

If they have kind usage they become gentle; if rough they respond in the same way. "I have become so well versed in horses that I can read their thoughts, and when I am in their company I can tell very well just what they think of me." - "You recognize, then, tho reasoning power in horses?" ' "Most decidedly, sir. When I select a horse for my school, I pick out those that exhibit wit. I go a good deal by the formatiou of the head and the brightness of the eye.
