"Now, remtmiliiir, Freda, no tricks!

"Oh, papa, don't mako mo say, 'Yes'

tin end to the controversy at last by
quietly leaving the room. I sink down
upon the broad window seat and pre

"Su tu flrute" I pout, Indignantly.

And 1 march away in high dudgeon,
and, tying on niybig aim-hat, tly down

I spring in and pu.sh off upon tho broad

seat myself upon the sand and deliber
ately pull off my shoes and stockings;
1 am going to wade, for the tide is out
and the water is cool and delightful.
I have not gone far, however, when 1
catch the .sound of a faint groan. 1
drop my tskirls involuntarily, and put
ting my hands to my mouth, as I havo
seen Fred do upon similar occasions, 1

tively that some accident has overtak
en 1 1 i ti i . I glaitcu down lit my Intro
feet. .No time fur .shoes and stockings
now I dart through tho water, arid
soon roach his side. Tint very hand
soiuest man 1 ever met ; he raises bis
dark eyes to my face and says quickly:
"I beg your pardon, miss, but I have
sprained my ankle severely, and -is
there any place in tho neighborhood
where I can remain until able to trav
el? My name is Coiupton - Walter
('ouiptoii from St. Louis, ami " ho
hesitates, and a spasm of pain coit
tra'ts bis face for a moment.
"Yes," 1 cry immediately, "you can
come home with me!" , 1 run to get
into my discarded articles of wearing
i apparel, and then springing into my
boat I row to tho spot. Willi great
dilliciilty I succeed in assisting the
stranger into the boat, and then pull,
slowly homeward. I find papa quite
willing to receive tho stranger, who,
after all, proves to be no stranger, but
tho son of one of pupa's old friends.
We made hint comfortable, and then
followed days and weeks of pleasant
compauion.-ihip. .Six weeks from tlio
day upon which I brought Walter
Coiupton home in my boat he itsks mo
to bo his wife. I burst into tears. For
I lovo him with all my heart; yet thero
is that hateful Mr. Comyn! Ho has
never revisited our town since the let
ter was written in which he asks for
the heart and hand of Freda Lowell,
but we may reasonably loolc for him
now at any time. 1 sob out my story
to Walter, my head upon his shoulder.
He smiles, and stooping, kisses me.
"Don't cry, sweetheart." ho says
soothingly. "You shall never marry
Mr Coinyu or any other man but my
self, if you really loV't inn. Wo will
explain the whole all'air to him and t
your father; and Mr. Lowell will not
object 1 1 mo on tho scorn of poverty,
for 1 am a rich man, Freda."
And then some one raps at the door,
and the servant announces:
"Miss Freda, your father says please
coino to the library. Mr. Coinyu wish
es to see you."
At last! So it has come, and I must
face tho music. And my eyes are red
from crying, my hair awfdily tousled.
I am a sight to make a lover weep.
Nevertheless, I'll go just as I am; if I
make him hate m ), so much the better.
iSo I leave Walter's side and march
straight into tint library, with whi'o
cheeks, my head defiantly raised.
Mr. Coinyu arises to moet mu lino
lo.ikiug in in, hut not ime-h ill' as hand
some us my Walter. Ho he .italet, and
draws back with intense surprise upon
his face.
"Mr. Lowell," ho ejaculates in be
wilderment, addressing my father,
"there is some mistake. This is not
the young lady,"
lclappol my hand gleefully, re
gardless of papa's severest frown. So
il is Kita, after all. Fin not two min
utes getting her into the library; then
I close the dour and My back to Walter's
side.
Yes, It really is Uita. Mr. Comyn
had only mistaken the name; but it is
Uita whom ho loves and wishes ti
marry. And best of all, llitit loves
him in ret urn, and has been grieving
in secret all tills time.
So thero is a double wedding, and
papa smiles serenely and never frowns
now, for he has two rich sum -in-law;
and poor little madcap Freda, the
hriilo of wealthy Mr. Compton, be
comes quite an t-nvied personage, mid

PITTSBURG',
Head Less Mid TIiIh'i More,
The bite Cliarles O'C nor, pcr'iaps
the most profound lawyer New York
city has produced, gave a piece of ad
vice to a young man which is its valua
ble as any legal opinion for which the
distinguished lawyer ever received a
fee. A lad wrote to him, giving .1
long list of bonks which lie had already
gone through, and asking a 1 vice as to
a course of reading. Mr. O'Conor re
plied that "he bad not only not read,
but had not known even by name one
half of tho books his correspondent ap
peared lo have read. Ho would not
thereforo, undertake to advise him
what to read, but he could safely ad
vise him to read less and think more."
This anecdote enmes from a recent
number of the d nliinj,
Tho advice was not, however, origi
nal with Mr. O'Con.ir. In the Phila
delphia l.nhjrr some time since an ol
der authority was quoted to thu same
purport. Probably the same sound
wisdom could be traced to the time ol
the invention of printing. "Head less
(of trash) and think more" has a pith
inos which makes the advice all the
nmre easy to keep in mind. And fol
lowing it would enable the "temperate"
reader not only to think, but to re
member more of what he reads,
li'emcmhering mine would give
a practical value to thu ideas
acquired and tno facts obtained.
Perhaps Mr. o'Coimr's opinion
mi reading is to be qualified a little
by his practice. It seems that hie
reading was very much confined to thu
purpose of his profession. No doubt
this limit increased his wonderful
efficiency in his pursuits. Hut it
would be great abridgement of mental
freedom to restrict the reader to his
specialty and forbid excursions outside
of that. The mind is enlarged by a
variety of topics, and there is scarcely
any subject, however foreign to a
thinking person's daily life, from
which he may nut derive some advan
tage. There is nothing in the way of
learning which stands so much alone
that it cannot be illustrated by other
and indeed apparently dissimilar mat
t' rs. Still the caution holds good
to nio:,t readers -"read less and think
III ire."
Hunting tlio Keiiideer.
Discribing tho methods practised by
the P.squimaux in hunting the liein
deer, Lieutenant Schwatka says in thu
Now York Tiiif-s: Ad vantage is
taken of the reindeer's slight aversion
in fad, almost fondness -for the
water by those natives near the Artie
Sea who are not provided with lire
arms. Wherever there is a large lake
or a widu river they build little stono
monuments looking as much like the
human figure as possible, about ln
yards apart, along the crest of a ridge
extending obliquely into tho water,
and inland probably two or three miles.
If a band of reindeer is found grazing
inside the angle formed by the shore
and line of stone monuments a skir
mish lino of Fsqiiiumii hunters is de
ployed around them, and the deer, sup
posing that thosto-.io piles are also hu
man beings on the other side, take
readily to the water, where tint hunters
pursue them in their kiukx, or light
idin canoes, spearing them or shooting
them with arrows. Our sledge jour
ney of nearly a year in length was
nearly ended and a terrible gale was
raging which rendered travel Impossi
ble. There was no meat within, and
out in tho storm all the hunters went,
most of them returning within an
hour and reporting it was useless to at
tempt to hunt in such a gale. Noth
ing daunted, Tonlooah continued his
search to tint south, and there he
found the tracks of three reindeer,
which ho followed at a dog trot in a
wide circle, whh h brought him north
of the camp about tho same distance
six or soven miles. This made a run
of some J J or l'i miles ill all. Ho se
cured all tho reindeer and by nightfall
had them in camp. Of such stuff wai
my best hunter made, who that day
closed the total score of the expedition
at tVU and '2'M for himself.

A friend is one to whom your heart

pleasure, for whom to sacrifice your
self is tho purest joy, tho secret

whoso passing expressions of counte

has passed into yours, and yours into
his, each complementing and exalting

existence void all its passions, whose
sorrow and whoso joy move you as the
coming spring moves the woodland,
who has received as much from you as

to drink alo with him. On an oath
which the king uttered while they
were drinking, the-addier remarked -
"I am sorry to hear young gentle

His majesty took notice of it, but
swore again. The soldier immediately
said:
"I'll pay for part of the a'e, if you

that if you were the king himself, I
tdtiiuld tell you of it."
'Should you indeed?" asked tho

IX THE CITY OF Till-; SI N.
1 'ictti rriiqito Stem's in Die
Catihin'o (;uiitl.
What Lif.) Was Like in the City that
an Earthquake Has Destroyed.
Serinagar, or literally Surgia Nagar,
the City of the Sun, is the capital of
the beautiful and romantic valley of
Cashmere, India, one of tho most
chariidng Hpots in the whole earth. It
is some tseven years ago that in my
wanderings I visited this happy val
ley, isays a writer in the New York
v'w. A lonely march of about l'i
miles along the banks of the .Iheluui
Iliver, the ancient Hydaspcs, brought
me to the smooth waters of the Cash
mere Lake. Here 1 hired a boat cov
ered with matting, and so arr inged
that tho stern of the boat formed a
cooking kitchen, both for the ciew
and passenger. My crew consisted of
a full-grown man, an under-grown
boy, and an old woman, two small
children, and a young mother mid t
plump baby. The whole party, ex
cept the plump baby, took their turn
at the oars and towing rope, and I
in. lunged to get along at the rate of
t wo miles an hour.
It was a clear morning, and beauti
ful beyond description was the pano
ramic view as we wound along the
river in its circular course. All
around the country was tich with ver
dure. 1,'isiiig at a distance were the
pnotvy ranges of the Himalaya Moun
tains, many of them as much as Id.nii i
feet above the sea level. In tho cen
tre of this lovely scenery is the City
of the Sun, which was destroyed by
an earthquake last Sunday.
Serinagar is a considerable city of
some l'io,nno inhabitants, of whom
'jn,ii ni are Hindus and tin; remainder
Mohammedans. The houses are built
entirely of wood, and are usually about
three stories high. The .streets are
narrow and dirty. The people were
dirtier than the streets. No pen
could possible depict the real sanitary
C. nidi ton of Serinagar, and consequent
ly ono regrets that as the city had to
perish, it. did not .succumb to the puri
fying element of lire rather th in the
ujilieav ings (f an earthquake.
The city of Serinagar is on an island
in the midst, of the Cashmere Lake.
It has seven bridges, all mile of
wooden logs. Some of tho bridges
are occupied with shops, like old Lon
don Hridge, which are extremely
quaint, although unsightly structures.
Thero tire no cabs or carts or carriages
in the city of Serinagar, and there
fore no conveyances i umblo along its
narrow, dirty streets. It is a wise
dispensation of Providence that
wheeled conveyances have not been in
troduced In tho capital of Cashmere,
for the people would bo too lay to
get out of tho way. The Cashuieree
never walks or works if ho can help
it. In recent famines they have pre
ferred dying to cither. And yet they
are skillful workmen. The manufac
tories of Cashmere aro well known.
Cashmere shawls havo a world-wide
reputation, although the trade is not
as prosperous as it used to lie. A
Cashmere shawl has been sold in Paris
and London for fl,'"1", and even
mora Tho silver and gold work in
bracelets and necklaces is perhaps un
equalled in the world, for it has a pe
culiar unfinished stylo of its own
which cannot be imitated. The cop
per work is very antique in its appear
ance. The painted and inlaid wood
wooil erroneously called by Kuropeans
papier macho, is also exceedingly
beautiful. It it an interesting fact
I that the well known Cashmere shawl
pattern, w hich finds expression in all
I articles of Cashmeso manufacture, has
I its origin in tho peculiar windings of
tho river .Iheluui along the valley.
Tho women of Cashmere are re
nowned for their beauty. They are
exceedingly fair for Orientals. In for
mer years they were seized and sold as
slaves for the seraglios of F.vstern
mouarchs. Andev.n in modern days
the Cashmere beauty hits found a place
I in tho affections of some of India's
. F.uropcau rulers and warriors. I'hys
J ically, the men are a very line race.
' Tho phrenological development of botli
, sexes in good. Hut still the Cash
j mereo is a hopeless individual. At first
when you look at hint you believe in
him. His linn development of head
j and chest win your respect. Hut from
i tho day that one of their number ate
five of my loaves of bread, and anoth
er purloined a bottle of preserved cur
rants, and another appropriated a
leathern strap, I lost confidence in the
race. After very careful inquiry I
camo to the conclusion that tho Cash
mereo comes very low down in the
scalo of humanity. Ho won't work If
ho can help It, and to beg he is never
ashamed. Such Is the race that in
habits ono of the fairest anl mist
productive provinces on earth.
The valley of Cashmere is about 100
miles long and averages twenty .five
NO. 15.
miles in width, and tho .surrounding
mountains vary in height from s.inh
to IVmhi feet. The valley itself is
about .ri,'lilM feet above tho level of thu
sea. It was formerly a Mohammedan
coun'.ry ; indeed, all tho natives are
Moslems, but at tho conquest of north
ern India tho liritish sold the province
of Cashmere to one of the ikh princes,
a Hindu, and it is now ruled by a lia
jah under liritish protection The
nearest railway terminus is that of
liawul Pind-e, where Lord Dull'erin
icccived the Ameer of Caluil. This
place is souio 1 le) miles from I Join
bay. From ICawul Pindee to the
ruined city of Serinagar is about ii'iu
miles, which can lo Unveiled by easy
(stages.

A letter to the Uoekville (Md.)
,.i'.ir(i says : My first observation
of them was in Wil. A thrilty young
, loigar mapla tree was apparently
j ruined by their incisions, but, having
been well trimmed, it is now one of
I the finest trees in tho town, 'iheir
next visit was in lW. Hit the 'luth ,
of May they were first noticed, ascend-
ing tlie trees in great numbers at
i night. Farly in the moiiiiu;; they '
j came out of their shells, and, after
j being warmed and turned black by the
: sun, llew off. For about a week they 1
j came up in great numbers, the ground .

1 countless canes ha I be. u -l.e k in and j

Dr. Paikes has caleul.it e l I h it the j
amount of exercise a man in health ,
should take regularly is equal to walk-
ing nine miles a day on level ground.
The amount of walking done in w. lik
ing about the lion 'i- and other domes- :
tid duties may probably be put down j
as three miles, which will leave only a ;
walk of six miles per diem nil level j
ground. Il tli" ground it hilly, this j
will be still more reduced, so that it
certainly' does not secni an excessive !
amount to advise. The pmpcr quan
tity must, however vary greatly vith(
circumstances. Females, for example, I
will not take as much as men. In
winter more may be taken than in j
summer. In youth, w hen the body is j
Undergoing its loot aelhe develop- i
i luent, cai'Li must .be tal. n tha' every;
muscle is exercised in Us t urn. Hence !
the free use of gymnastics, games, and i
sports at this aga is m .d. .neti-i t
In advanced life the power and incli
nation for exercise both tad, but even ;
then every elfort should be made to ;
prevail upon the iudividu il to take
some amount of exercise, and to pot-t
pone the evil day when 'be will becomo
completely bedridden. Such an amount j
of exercise is in all c.ses necessary as 1
will keep the modes in go-nl health,
and enable them to met the phyisical
requirements of the rest of the body.

Idle nil Hie I'laiiet Mars.
Prof. I.ockyer is of the opinion that
human life mi the planet Mars may bo
very much like life on the earth ; tho
light cannot bo so bright, but. tho or
gans of sight may bo so much mora
susecpt ible as to make tho vision quite
as good. The be.it is probably less, as
the polar snows certainly extend fur
ther, but by no means less in propor
tion to the lessened power of the solar
rays. He agrees with others that sev
