A VALENTINE.
Oh. chubby fair little Uod o( Love,
Can you carry a tiitnati truer
Or wouldn't a bunion Unlit for a dort
Be too heavy a loud tor you;
Such a welpht of love at I Ion to send
I'm afr.tid you would stairirer und.T.
Could yon bear It safe to it's journey's end.
And deliver It there, I wonder!
Then go to my lady and whisper low,
As you stand by her wicker ehalr,
While she watches your dimples come and go,
And the sunny gleam of your hair.
Tell her how fair she Is. and sweet;
Tell her she's crowned with love of mlr.as
Tell her my heart Is lying at her feet;
A k her to be tuy Valentino,
Tell her with love 1 am all aglow.
She will not show the least surprise;
For, Cupid, she beard it loiijr ago.
Let her read it again In your eye.
He finds her-tlie only love of my life;
lie Is telling hi? story, may be;
I'or. see ! she is kissing him . . . She's my wife I
And "Cupid" is Just the bauy!

you will meet in the streets of London
on a line Sunday afternoon are lifty-two-mund-a-year
clerks.
'To begin with, ho can hire a room
in a dozen and one respectable streets
off Bloomsbiiry, that is, within easy
walking of the city, for four shillings a
week. By an arrangement with his
landlady he can have breakfast
brought up to his room for six
pence daily, that is, three, and six
m week. You must understand thai
cheap lxmiiling-hoiises are not general
in London. So far seven and sixpence
are out nf the jxn;nd. He can dine
every (lay fir alwitil eight H-nee f will
tell you how he does that iu a moment
and on Sunday he can have a por
tion of his landlady's dinner for a shil
ling. Six eight ponces make four shil
lings, with Sunday, live shillings, which
raided to (seven and sixpence make
tvvelvo and six. For his tea or siiji
pcr, as you call it he goi s to a eollee
shop. There are many hundred iu Lon
don where he can buy a cup of tea or
coffee for a penny, three slices of bread
and butter for a penny-halfpenny, and
an egg orrashcrof bacon fur twopence,
in all fourpence-halfpetiny, or say two
and eighlpence a week. Now let u.
add that up:
a penny, waiter a penny; in all, seven
pence-do you see? Those a la mmle
beef -houses, by the way. are frequented
by the richest men iu the city, so the
poor clerk's cheap dinner is in no way
infra dig.
I think," continued the merchant,
that In my time I have employed
hundreds o( young men as clerks
and I have watched their
ways. The ambitious ones, a
small minority, either rise some
how or other to important positions
with wages, say, of two or at most three
pounds a week, or else find their way
into some more prosperous undertaking;.
The majority, however, remain at a
pound until either shabhiness, lack of
smartness or marriage drives them to
the wall or pitdmbiy the workhouse.
"In his early veal's his w ays are most
interesting. He is up to all manner of
dodges to save his clothes or to seke
what he considers to lie honest per
quisites in the shape of odd sheets of

saves his IkioIs by putting on list slip

he takes off his cull's I think euffs

HOW TO EAT WISELY.
Common-Sens Rules Which Should IU
i..lven a Faithful Trial.
As a universal rule In health, and
with very few exceptions in disease,
that Is b,'sto b eaten which the appe
tite craves or the taste relishes, lYr
aons rarely err in the quality of food
eaten; nature's iis:iueLs are the wisest
regulators iu this respect. The great
sources of mischief from eallng are
thi-ee quantity, frequency, rr.pidity,
and from these come tin horribl dys
pepsia which make of human life a
burden, a torture, a living death. Hy
eating fast, the stomach, lik a hot lie
being till 'd through a funnel. Is full
and oveillo.ving before we know
it; but the most important rea
son is, the food is swallowed be
fore time has been allowed lo divide il
into sufficient y small pices with the
teeth; for, like ice in a tumbler of water,
the sinal er ih bits are the sooner are
they d ssolved. It has b -en seen with
the naked eve that if solid food is cu;
np in pieces small as half a pe i, il
dijests almost as soon, without being
chewed at all, as if it had been well
masticated. The best plan, there
fore, is for all persons to thus com
minute their foo l; for even if it is well
chewed the comminution is no injury,
while it is of very great importance in
case of hurry, forgetftilness, or bad
teeth. Cheerful conversation pre
vious ra id eating. It requires
about live hours for a roinmon
meal to dissolve and pass out of th
stomach, during which time this organ
is incessanrty at work, when it must
have repose, as any other muscle, or
set of muscles, after such a length ol
effort Hence pi r-ons should not eat
within a live-hour's interval. The hear!
itse'f is at rest nn r than one-third of
the lime. The b.aiu perishes w ithout
rep sc. Never force food on the
stomach. Ail are tired vtliMi n:g!ti
comes. Every miwlc of the body is
weary and look t!i b'd; but just as
we lie down to i: every other p irt of
lliebaly, if we by a h 'arty meal give
the stomach live h. nil's' work, which in
its weak state ivqu'ivs a much loiirer
time to pcrf irm than at an earlier
h nir of the day, it is like im
tvosing upon a set .atit a fu'l day's
work just at the close of a hard day's
lalsu'. Hence the unwisdom of eat
ing hear ily lat in the day or evening;
and no w o nlerii Ins cost m my . man
his l'.fe. Always breakfast before work
or exeivis . No lab ivrs or active per
sons sboul I cat an a'o 11 later than sun
doiin, ai d the i it should not be over
half the mid.Iay meal. Person o!
sedentary habbs. or who are at all ail
ing, should take absolutely nothing fijr
supper lieymai a single piece of coM
stale bread and butter, or a ship-biscuit
with a sing'e cup of warm drink. Such
a supper wilt always give Ivetter sleep
and prepare for a heartier breakfast,
witli the advantage of having the ex
ercise of the whole day to grind it up
and extract its nutritue.it. Never cat

SHARP CONTRAST.
The Humble, lite of Weavers In Oltlcn
Times t;oniiartl With That of To-!'.
It i sometimes well to take u loot
back and see what our forefather used
to do in our own line of business. Be
fore the advent of the narrow loom and
fancy cassintcres all goods were woven
on the old broad hand-loom, w hich was
an immense Institution, and usually
owned by the weaver and set up In one
of his own chambers. It was always
accompanied by the old "bobbin
wheel" and lai'sebowlortub of watel
in w hich to wet the tilling; the w heel
being used to throw out the surplus
water, which left each bobbin of Idling
equally charged with moisture. The
bobbins were stacked up In she w indow
until used, sometimes kept coveted
with a cloth. From fifty to one hun
dred bobbins were wet at a time. Only
one shuttle was used, and that a very
heavy one. with two large double
wheels underneath and two single
wheels' on the side that ran against the
reed. These wheels used to destroy
the reed in time, as the under w heels
did the race-board. There was no box
motion then, A piece of strong (wine
was fastened lo each picker am
brought lo the center of the loom and
fastened to a handle which the weave!
held in his right hand, and w ith whii
the shuttle wa throw n with great pi'
cision while he worked the lav with his
li ft hand and the treadles with his feet
The seat was a twn-legged titVait
fastened to lite window-sill, the seat
part beinrrtiT nng!e of about forty-
live degrees. It could hardly be callei
a seat, as the weaver stood up wlul
sitting tlow ti, as it were. I he varn
was let oil front the beam by
I1.1411I, ami tlic clotlt taken up 111
the same wav, the arrangement being
very crude indeed. but very
effective, made so by the skill of the
weaver. The cloth as usually woven
in the loom eleven ifr thirteen quarters
wide, and, as might be exported, it
came from the loom very thin, but felt
like a woolen hoard when full, iu which
state it was generally sold by the .small
manufacturer, the purchaser c uding it
to the tinisliiiig-mill.
Besides the single loom in the home,
of the weaver there Were what win
termed "shops," where a laiy.e iiuiiiIm",
of looms were run, Usually owned by
one man, single looms being rented at
times. A there was no power there
was no liell mid no steam heat, tin
shops being warmed by the crudest
kind of stoves. When the short dav
of th. year came, and it was time tr
light up, they usually had what wa
called "a lightiiig-up supper," and in
the spring a "blow ing-out" supper.
Lighting w?ls done with oil iu tin

made by any tinsmith. The amount
of smoke made w as feat fill. The lamp

Used. Coal oil had not been discov
ered, and lard oil wa md then an ar

generally a very happy set of men, full
of jest, song, and story, and the origi

the fortune of later imitators.

found that only those who used water
from a famous old well were the victims.
Professor S. A, l.attimoie, analyst of
the New York State Board of Health,

The tllliii up of the old well stopped
the ravages of the disease.
Not loiirf since the writer noticed while
some men were making an excavation
for a larne buildtiiit, a sinituiu of dark
colored earth running from near the
Hiuirti e to h o i pan. There it took all

The water front tld well had for yeara
been lauded with Hi;" diubiins from a

had discolored the earth I
Terrible!
A similar condition of things exists In
every village and city where well water
is use. I, and though the lllterina which
the tluids receive in passing through the
earth may pve them a clear appearance,

though the water may look never o

SLANOY EPITHETS.
Nantes tiv Which Workmen Dlsttiimilslv
In. killed XI in lie is iif Their Craft.
Strikes bring out the technical slang
of the Initios, and particularly the
opprobrious epithet, by which tlio dif
ferent classes of workmen distinguish
the unskilled men who labor at the
same trade. In most vases It will he
found that these slang terms originate
In some technicality of the trade, Thus
the telegraphers call a poor operator a
"plug," after the little metal plug or
pin in the switchboard, good only to
open and close the ei re tilt. They are
also culled "ehalr-wiirtuers," the ineiui
Ing of which Is apparent to every
body.
l'linlers diisigimte an unskilled type
setter as a "shoemaker" or a "black
smith." The derlyathin of the former
appellation Is from the fact that a com
positor whu make errors Is obliged tu
correct them after the ty pe Is set up by
taking out the misplaced letters and
"pegging" Ihe proper ones Into llielr
places. Tailors also 'use the word
"shoemaker" to distinguish a poor
hand, as an unskilled workman makes
his stitches Un1 far apart, and Is there
fore better adapted to sew leather,
where lie can punch the hole with an
awl before putting his needle through.
The appellation, "blacksmith," Is ap
plied to a printer whose lingers am
clumsy, and 11 Jeweler also terms an un
skilled w orker at his trade a "black
smith" for the same reason.
A term of opprobrium which was
used by old New York printers to denote
an unskilled eoiiitosi!or, was the word
"hoarder," from the fact that a poor
hand w as generally a drinking man and
spent his time hinting or "boai'illuj" in
liquor saloons. '0(ei Ulot.
A fat woman entered a crowded
street-car and sei.iug a strap, stood on
a gentleman's toes. A soon a he could
extricate himself he aroo and ottered
her his scat. "You are very kind, sir,"
she said. "Not at all, madam," lie re
plied; "it's not a kindlier,, it' self
defense." A". J". Sun.
