About Girls. When girls midway in their natural girlish habits and attire, don long skills, shoot up their hair, and ufli-ct the airs and Ireps of young woman, they would often be surpiised to know what their elders re- lly think of the improvement?. One such yeung uiiss went to the depot recently to meet an aged friend of.the family, and was surprised to find hcrfelf bot recognized upon greeting the visitor as Bhe stepped from the cur. ' Don't you know me, ountie ?'' "Why, this isn't Marin, is it?" "Certainly! Don't you think I look better than I did last summer?'' "No," Ti plitd the honest soul, looking at the girl ; "to tell the truth, I don'j J (Jo home and let down your hair, and be young while yon can, for it will not be many years before you will be glud to have people take you for a girl."

It was not only because he was the pioneer of the place, having come there when the woods were one primeval maps of green, and him- If having erected the old stone parsonage around which the thriving vallate had grown up wilh almost incredible rapidity. It was not that ho has preached the gospel to them for four-and-forty years ; it was not thut his footsteps had been inatunt on every thrcslihold where sickness came or sorrow brooded, All this had been received as a matter of couise, and forgotten as soon as the necessities were past. But it wus because Foxville curiosity was on the qui vwe about Joanna, his granchild,lhe sole icmuin ing blossom on the gnarled old family tree who was left quite unprovided for. I declare to goodness," said Mrs. Knimons. 'I don't know what is to become of thut girl I" She hain't no faculty,' said Subina Sex ton, the viluge dressmaker'; 'and never had.' Books possessed no charm to her!' sighed Miss Dodge, who taught the Fox ville district pchool. 'She uIwavs critd over her parajug and rhetoric, ai.d I cover eoujd make her understand cube root !' 'There's no denyin' that the old min'ster was as near a saint as we often gee in this world,' said 'Sirs. Luke Lockedge, piously, liul lie uunu t ought to lei Joanna run loose in the woods and fields the way he did. Why, I don't s'pose she ever made a shirt or fried a. batch o' fritters in her life I 'Is it true,' said Miss Dodge, peering inquisitively up under her npcclncle glasses that she is engaged to your SinioD, Mrs. Lockedge?' Mrs. Lockedge closed her mouth, shook her head and knitted away until her needles shone like-forked lightning. 'Simon's like all other young men, Miss Dodge Baid.ahe 'took by a pretty fuce and a pair o' bright eyes. And they set o: the fame bench at school. And as long us we 'posed Parson. Fox had left property why thtre wasu't no olj ction. But there wasn't nothing not even a life insurance So I've talked to oimon and mtido him hear reason. There can't no body live on air!' ' . 'But that's ruthcr hard on Joanho, ain't it ?' paid Mrs. Knimons, with a little syru palhetic whetze, 'Reason is reason !' Mrs. Lnckidge an swer! d. 'My Simmon will have pr iperly and the girl he marries must have suthin' to match it.' ; So that Joanna F'X, sitting listlessly iu her black dress by the window, where the fcent of June honcysuekles floated swieily in, and trying to realize that she was alone in the world, had divers and sundry visitois that day. The first wus Simcn Lockidge, lot king ne if his errand were somehow con nected wilh grand larceny. Joannu Rtiirkd up. her wan face bright ening.

That's the sense of the matter now ain't it Joanna ?' She did not answer. 'I'm awfully siury,' stutterid Simon I , always set a ileal of store by yon, Joanna 'Did you V she said, bitterly. 'One would scarcely have thought it.' 'And you know, Joanna,' ho added awkwardly, mindful of hia mother's drill 'when poverty cornea in at the door, love fins out nt the window 1' Joanna smiled scornfully.. 'It seemsf said she, 'that love does not always wait for that. And she turned and wulktd like a young queen into the adjoining uparlment ; while Simon, Ranking out of the door like a de- tected burglar, xultcred to himself. 'It's the hardest job o' work that ever I did in my life. Splitting stumps ia noth ing to it. But mother saya it must be d ne arc moihtr rules the roost in oar house !' ' Next came Mrs. Emmons. 'Joanna, said she. 'I'm deeply grieved ut this 'cry Llllietion that's befell you !' 'Thank you, Mrs. Emmous !' said the girl, mechanically. . 'I've come to ask you about your plana, added the plump widow. 'Because, if you have no otner intentions, I'll be glad lo have you help me with the housework. I'm goin to have a house full o' summer board era, and .there'll be a deal more work than me nod Elviry can manage.

'Am lo understand thut yoa e-xpect me to aesume the position and duties of a servant, without a servaut's wages ?' 'You'll be a member of the family,' said Mrs. Emmons ; 'and jou'll set at the same table with me und Elviry, and' 'I am ninth obliged to you.'faid Joanna' 'but I ii, ust decline your kiud efler.' And Mrs. 'Emmons departed in right eous wraih, audibly declaring her convic- tioo that pride was certain sooner or luter to have a full. 'I have plenty of friends,' said Joanna, courageously, 'or raiher dear grandpapa had. I am sure lo be provided for.' But Pquire Burton looded hurder than any flint when the orphan came to him 'Sonwyhing to do, Miss Fox?' said he. Well, that's the very prubhm of-the ae woman's work, you kaow ; and I ain't smart enough to solve it. Copying? No, our firm don't need that sort of work. Do I know of any one that does? No, I can't say I do; but if I should bear of an open ing, I'll be sure to let you knew. Ahem! I'm a little busy this morning, Miss Fox ; sorry 1 can't di vote more lime to you John, the door. (Jood-moniing, my dear Miss Fi x ! I unsure you, you have mine und Mrs. Burton's praurs in this pud visi tation ol an inscrutable Providence.' Old Mit'3 Gticge, who had fifty thousand dollars nt interest,, and. who had i lwas de clared that she loved dear Joanna Fix like a daughter, sent down word that she wasn't very well and couldu't tec company. Dr. Went worth, in visiiing whose inva lid duuglilcr poor old Parson Fox had cou tracted'ihe illness which carriid him to his grave, was brusque and short. lie was sor ry for Miss Joanna, of course, but he didn't knew of any way in . which he could be useful. lie understood there wns a kid- glove factory to be opined on .Wulling river soon.

'What am I In do?' said poor, pale Jo anna. 'I can't starve '' 'Thcre's no necessity for any one starv ing in this great, busy world,' said Misa Woodin, cheerfully. 'All one wants ia luculty.' Joanna shrank a little from the hard, stereotyped word which she had so often heard fiom the lips of Mrs. Emmnna, Miss Sabina Sexton, and that sisterhood. But how do you live?' said she. 'Do you see that thing there in the cor ner ?' said Jlisa Woodin. 'Yes,' answered Joanna. 'Is it a sewing machine?' 'It's a type-writer,' announced Misa Woodin, 'and I earn my living on it.' 'Bat what do you write ?' suid Joanna. 'Anything I can get,' eaid Misa Wood in. And thu3, in the heart of the great wilder ness of New York, Joannu Fox commenced her pilgrimage of toil. First on the type-writer, then promoted to a compiler's desk io the ''Fashion De purlment" ol a prominent weekly journal then, by titans of a -striking original sketch, slipped into the letter-box of the Ladies' Weekly with fear and trembling. to a place on ths, contributors' list ; then gradually rising to the rank of a spirited young novelist, until our village damsel had her pretty '-flu" furnished like a minia ture palace, with Misa Woodin and her type-writer snugly installed in one corner, 'Because I owe everything to her,' said the young authoress, gratefully. Ad1 one day, glancing over the ex changes in the sanctum of the Ludiee Weekly, to whose columns she sliil con triboted, she came acrosj a copy of the Foxville Gazette. 'Hester,' she said, hurrying home to Misa Woodin, 'the parsonage is to be sold at auction to-inorrow, and 1 mean to go up and buy it ; for I am sure quite sure that I could write better there than any where else in the world. Mias Woodin agreed with Joanna. Mies Woodin believed most firmly in whutever Joanna believed. In her loving eyes the successful young writer was always right So Joanna Fox and Miss Wo. din, dress ed in black uud closely veiled, went up to Foxville to attend the auction sale. "'Everybody was th(te. Thy didu't have an auction Rale at FoxvU;e every day in the week Squire Burton wns there, with a vague idea of purchasing the old place for a pub lic garden.

Mrs. Emmona came because everybody e did. Miss Dodge, who had saved a little money, 'thought that if the place went cheap she would pay djwn a part and ive a mortgace lor the remainder.

In about half an hour he came back and placed tbe empty basket on tbe table. Didu't the groeer have any apples?' asked the anxious mother. ' Yes, mam I bought a dozen. They were not sour.' 'Where are thpyT asked the fond mother taking another squint into the empty bas ket.

If disease has entered the system the only sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood. These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that nothing but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition ; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and art otherwise injurious. Brown's Iron Bitters will thor oughly and quickly assimilate with the blood, purifying and strengthen ing it, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will net blacken the teeth, cause head ache or constipation, and is posi tively not injurious, . j ( Saved his Child. 17 N.

Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease,--under the care ef eminent physicians, I was loth to belicva that anything could arrest the progress of the disease, but, to my great surprise, before my daugh ter had taken one bottle of Bkown's Ikon Bittsks, she began to mend and now is quite restored to former health. A fifth daughter began to show signs of Consumption, and when the physician was consulted he quickly said "Tonics were re quired ;" and when informed that the clJe-r sister was taking Bkown's Ikon IIittuk-5, responded "that is a good tonic, take it."
