A Scrip of Piper. Herbert Bfilfonr hid leea brought up with great expectations. His father had beon a -wealthy Manchester merchant, a man if ho had risen from nothing, as the earing goes. He 'was -woni to relate how fie had walked into the great xnanufacturiagiity with nothing- in his pocket but threepence-halfpenny, an old pocketknife, and a piece of string. With this limited capital' he had started life on his lywn account, and a great success he had made of it. In due course he had married, and, displaying in matters matrimonial the same good judgment that he had displayed in business affairs, he fixed upon as good, a wife as man could desire to possess. The offspring of this union was an only son, the hero of this over-true tale, . -;, Perhaps it woulcLhave proved far more beneficial for Herbert Balfour had he commenced life1 with even less than the proverbial half-crown, and after thefnaanner of his father ; but as xtwafi from his cradle upward he was surrounded with all the comQrtthatw poor mortals can desire . lV. - He. was the idol of his parents; If ever a boy was spoiledrby which we mean mduTed Herbert Balfour was that boy. But for all that his father had the" good sense to draw the line somewhere; so, hard though it was to him and his good wife, they dispatched young Herbert to. a first-class boardingschool. 4 He shall be as well educated as anv gentleman in the land,' said Mr. Balfour with tears in his eyes, as he saw his idol borne away by express train to the region of study.' " So he shall, my dear, so he shall ! " sobbed the doting mother. Herbert's school-days over, he at once prepared to enter upon college life. As yet it remained undecided as to what profession he should embrace. " I am sure he would make hu excellent clergyman," 4 Mrs. Balfour. " Or a doctor." said Mr. Balfour. n T, . . .

" He would be so gentle and sympathetic with the afflicted' said Mr. Badfour.. : " imagine him at the bar !" exclaimed the enthusiastic mother. He would become- Attorney-General in no time,'V criad the equally elated father. . Alas for the vanity of human hopes. Neither divine, doctor nor barrister bet came this youthfnl IddlT" ' Lake the generality of young people . who have been brought up to have pretty nearly everything their own wafy Herbert Balfour was wayward and undecided as to his future. ' There is heaps of time, " he would say; "why on earth should I worry mvself in arriving at any decision?" Beirable to command what money he needed, he could, he imagined, afford

suited linn or not at all, for the matter of that, unless he felt so disposed. But, fortunately, Herbert Balfour was not an utterly idle and selfish young fellow of which nowadays, as ever, there so many specimens for he had his really good and redeeming qualities.' He was not a reckless spendthrift. He did not squander money in gambling. He took no mean advantage of his father's generosity in the matter of monetary allowance. . - Of course, like all young men. he had his faults ; but, if the truth were known, there is little doubt that he was quite as good as, if not better than, naif those model students who cannot apparently do anything amiss. - . . Poor Herbert Balfour had not been at college much over twelve months when -when his misfortunes began. His father was amon the victims of a bank failure, which, in plain English, should have been designated " The Directors' Swindle, and in consequence found himself a ruined man. To use his own words; " Thirty-three : yeass . ago I came to Manchester with threepen ce-half-penny, a pocket-knife and a piece of string ; and to-day, after a life's toil, and when my hairs arts gray, I am not worth thA fwrtruxm T afcavtaA with n. -

Addressing his wife he said : ' : " My dear Mary, it is not for mvself that I eare so much, 'tis for you and the boy. I began with nothing, and was used to rough fere from my cradle ; but with yotrtwo &is different? - il Noser, mind, myj deir," 'aid' the wife, "we shall "bri just as happy mpoverty as in wealth ; and. who knows, butwhjSt' you may recover your posiNow, Mrs. Batfourwas-very decently connected; and her people had rather turned up their -noses at tb.9 idea of her having married "a person in trade." But the said " person ; in trade having a long purse, they had borne it with Christian resignation. They had done more than this; they had borrowed with charming willingness from "the person in trade," who had become a-family connection.- . : - Bum having fallen upon her husband, Mrs- Balfour appealed to her grand relatives. The only result was the repayment of a small amount of the moneys which had been formerly lent to them by Mr. Balfour. In consequence of this, the oncewealthy merchant was left to battle against misfortune, comparatively speaking, unaided. The struggle continued for a period of two years, when deathcame to the good old man's assistance, no by way of calling any one to his last ac

count who had left him any money, but i

t)nijg iui, xuiunr mmseix upon the shoulder, and so forever closing his eyes to the trials and sorrows of this mundane existence. .. A few months lateY.-and his wife ln

laid down her burden, leavuig, Herbert

There was but one person in the world who took the smallest interest in the young -man's late, and that was a well-to do paternal uncle, possessed of a remunerative business in Leeds. r He gave Herbert Balfour a clerkship in his counting-house, and paid bim a salary of 25 shillings a week. Out of this the once well-to-do Oxonian had to find himself in everything. His uncle treated him as he treated the other clerks, both in business hours and out of business hours in short, he behaved toward him as though there existed no relationship between them whatever. ' When Herbert entered his uncle's office, he knew nothing whatever of business matters, and the only advantage he gained by being there was the requirement of business habits, and a fcliffht knowledge of commercial transactions. .

He bore his uncle's coldness without a murmur, V-bnt felt it none the less." So matters went on for two years, at the expiration of which Herbert Balfour took unto himself a wife, his salary at the time having been raised to thirty shillings a week. His wife was the daughter of a tradesman. Surely one who had been brought up as a gentleman, with a university education, might have looked higher. Being handsome,, polished and fascinating in manner, he might have gone in for an heiress. Well, so he might, even though he was only a clerk in his cold-blooded uncle's counting-house ; but if he had aspired to anything so. tempting, and won it in the bargain, he could not have gained a worthier or better wife than she who so willingly shared his lot in the days of his impecuniosity. Not long after his marriage he heard 6i a vacancy in' a London merchant's office, where ft higher, salary was of-

I fared, -. v., ..'. V

Like a sensible fellow he applied for it, . and was, lucky enough to be engnged.' 3 His uncle was wild with indignation when he found that Herbert was going to leave him. "I won't give you a character, sir," roared that outraged iudividual, " unless it be for base ingratitude," ' - I can do very well without it, thank you, sir," answered Herbert. And so he could, for the father of an old Oxford friend of his, at whose house ho had stayed in happier times, was the personage who iud used his influence in obtaining him his now and improved: appointment. Herbert Balfour; with his good wife and their little baby boy, arrived in London. For six years he remained with his new employer. Happy years wore they, too, in spite of the very humble, way in which he was compelled to" live. His good wife and his little ones made a perfect heaven of -home, " : But misfortune had not yet played her worst trick upon the hero of this story." BHs good-hearted and ever-considerate employer died, and the business passed into other and -, less pleasant hands. ; The old staff of clerks, with two exceptions, was dismissed, and Herbert Balfour had to look out for another situa tion. Tunes were bad, and the task was a difficult one to find employment As one can easily imagine, he had not saved much out of 2 a week, with four children and a wife to provide fr. But i$ is hardly fair to include "the wife " in the expense, since as far ns she was personally concerned she proved, like all, really good wives who are not f raid of soiling their fingers, the means of saving him many expenses, which as a single, man he was sure to have incurred. Persevere as he would, he could not obtain a frsh opening, and things became as bad as they well could be with him. Through all the misery that poverty brought with it Herbert Balfour had in his beloved wife a comforter of whom he might justly be proud. - Indeed, had it not . been for her, Heaven only knows how far desperation might have driven him. Probably it would have been the old, old story over again; a plunge in the darkness of night from one of the somber bridges which . span Father Thames, and then Tba dreaaxilesB sleep which Jull tht dead. . For days nothing passed the lips of any among the poverty-stricken family buV dry-bread. Butter became an unknown-luxury;: Their .only shelter was a garret in Drury Lone. Yes, it had become as bad as. -that. Heaven help them 1 " Entering a small baker's shop in the vicinity of his lodgings, Herbert Balfour was induced to confide Ids . troubles to the goodiearted, proprietor, who offered him a few shillings for going through bis books, which hadbeen long neglected. "If you give me satisfaction," said the sympathetic man of flotrr; I shall be willing to recommend you; to my fellow-tradesmen, and perhaps the trilling job I give you may lead to something better. tY - - Herbert thanked the baker with sincere gratitude, and straightway applied himself to the accounts in question. When the job was completed he received prompt payment, which amounted to something over a couple of sovereigns. Making his way homeward through the dnll November evening, with his welcome earnings in : his pocket, he resolved to give his. wife and family a treat j he determined upon purchasing a quarter of a pound of butter. He entered the wretched garret that now constituted his home with a smile upon his wan face such as had not been seen there for months past. "Mary, my dear," he said, "I have brought yok and the little ones a luxury for supper "A luxury, dear answered his wife, In a tone of incredulity, VAyi a luxury." .-v:, r "Some fried Ash ? " , , "No." "A pot of dripping?" "A quarter of a pound of fresh butter; really fresh butter, Mary ! " Placing on the table the two halfquartern loaves that he had been carry-, ing, he drew from his pocket the luxury in question, carafnlly wrapped in a fragment of the Baity Telegraph. "And now. dear, von and the chil

dren must have a really good feed.1"

And with what still greater pleasure did he see the hungry mouths he loved so well busily - devouring the staffof life. " But yon have not left yourself any butter ; you are eating a dry crust," observed MrS. alfir.' ' xeaBy jpreferiit," apologized Herrt - " I'll not eat another moutlifuk'Vepostulated his wifeunless " " "All Tight, my dear all? right, " interrupted Herbert; " There is quite enough left for m&here?' - So saying he commenced scraping the remnant of , ..the. butter that remained upon the scrap of Daily,. .Telegraph in wh:ch he carried it home. 'Seetw he observed, scraping away with such diligence thRt the scrap of paper was as readable as when it came from the printer's hands. . See ! I have, not wasted an atom." : "While thus engaged his eye was at: tracted by the printed matter, which his energies rendered so clear. To his utter astonishment he read his own name containedin the advertisement, " To the next of kin," printed on the fragment of the Daily Telegraph which had served as a wrapper for the quarter of a pound of butter. On making the necessary inquiries he found that he had come into a very comfortable fortune; Herbert Balfour's trials through the pressure, of poverty were over forever, and now he is a happy and wealthy man ; end doubtless all the better and happier for the struggles which adverse fortune for a time brought upon him. Misfortune never harms a man spiritually if he only bears it bravely and trusts in Providence. Only Words, v It is an unfortunate fact that with many authors words are almost the only care; they make it a study not so much to produce new sentiments as to recommend those already known in fairer decorations. Thus the reader searches for information in vain ; he finds nothing but words.

COLD WINTERS

The Winter of 1779-SO-The Cold Friday of February 7 1S07. The winter of 1779-80, says the Albany Argus, began ns the winter of 1880-81 'did. The cold weather ; set in about the middle of November, and continued until about the middle of Februarv. Durintr that long period

there was not enough warmth in the

sun's rays to .melt the. snow on the ground, nor to aftect'in the least the fetters of ice that bound the creeks, ponds, and rivers. One snow storm followed another until finally the ground was so covered that it was difficult to -go from place to place, and the ice ' upon the rivers at all convenient points was used by men and teams and animals in place of roads. The cold winds were so piercing that wild turkeys were found frozen to death in the forests and domestic fowls fell frozen from their roosts. The deer imd buffalo sought shelter from the cnbins of the settlers, and all kinds of wild animals perished in the forests for want of food, which was buried beneath the snow. The fierce wolf and panther, which usually skulked about the boundaries of the settlements only by night, now came near in broad daylight in search of the bones and offal thrown from the cabins of the settlers. :No rain fell, the pioneers were compelled to obtain water for drinking, cooking, etc., by melting ico and suow. The Northern and Western rivers were tightly bound bv frost, and even as far south as Nash--ville the Cumberland was frozen over with" ice thick enough for the safe passage of emigrant trains. The Delaware, at Philadelphia, had' ice three feet in thickness, and Chesapeake Bay and Long Island Sound were frozen oyer. Another similarity between the winter of 1880-81 and that of 1779-80 was the mild autumn that preceded it "When the cold began, in November, 3 779, the leaves had hardly ..fallen from the trees and shrubs were : putting, forth now growth. The same condition of things was witnessed , last fall. ' The winters of of 1783, 1784, 1785, 1788, 1792, 1796, and 1799 ore all reported as having been very severe. It is stated in "Hildredth's Pioneer History" that on the 26th of December, 1788, the Delaware and Ohio rivers were both frozen over, and navigation was suspended upon them until the 18th of the following March, In 1792, when soldiers were sent to the disastrous battle-field of General St. Clair, to bury the bead, they encamped where Cincinnati now stands, January 23. The snow ' was reported two feet deep on the ground, and the Ohio Kiver was so strongly frozen Mi at the soldiers rode their horses across from Kentucky on the ice. The 7th of February, 1807. was known for years as cold' Friday, and was the ground-work for many a grandfather's tale. On the evening of the 6th the weather was mild and rain began to fall as night set in. In a few hours the rain changed to snow, which fell to the depth of six inches, after .which a hurricane began. to sweep over the land. It grew colder and colder as the night progressed, and the next morning the trees in the forests were cracking like the reports of. guns, and every tiling was bound in fetters of ice. There was no thermometer to register the cold, but the day comes down in -history and traditional cold Friday. . NO MORE GOSSIP. roni the Indianapolis Daily Sentinel. If we are correctly informed, St. Jacobs Oirnov the usual tea-party topic in place of , the. former staple free gossips How wise nud how. much more U-ucticiul! : Double Consciousness. The disappenrance of the Rev.1 John Marsland, of "Windham County, Connecticut, aud his explanation when he was found at Binhomton, "NV Y, 400 miles away from his residence, that all that had happened in the interval was a' blank to him, brings lip the mooted question whether there is or is not such a disease as double consciousness. Many skep tics aver that such a condition of mind is impossible, but several physicians of this city and Paris declare that the diag: nosis of this mental, disorder is wejl defined Dr. William A. Hammond, of Ney York city, being asked his opinion on the subject said: Ko doubt that amxefcia, or double consciousness, .exists in both a chronic and acute form. It is something more than absent mindedness or temporary insanity.- I have classified it as a mild form of epilepsy. Many cases have, come under my notice. Among them was that of a patient in a large mercantile establishment, who left his office at 11 o'clock to get a signature to -a paper from a gentleman whose place of busi- " ness was distant only a few minutes' walk. He had not returned at 3 o'clock, and, as was subsequently ascertained, visited the office and obtained - the' signature, and left; apparently in good health, at 11 :30.

'He did not appear at his own -office till

nearly 5 o clock. The last thing he recollected was passing St. Paul's church, at the corner of Broadway and Yesey street It was subsequently found he had gone to Brooklyn, visited a newspaper office the,re, and purchased a newspaper. He ; then 'returned' to New York, got into an omnibusrat Fulton ferry, left it at the corner oi Twenty-third street, entered the Fifth Avenue'Hotel, ,and while. there recovered recollection." " An even more interesting case occurred in the autumn of 1875. A patient, who was a manufacturer, left his office at 8 a, m, to buy some bulbs.' Ho remained away eight ' days and no trace was - obtained of 3nm during that time. . Subsequently . it was ascertained that he liad been to theaters, and hotels)", where he slept, and stores where he made purchases, and that he made a journey of 100 miles from New York. Losing his ticket he was put off at away station.-

and, returning to New York, passed the

night at a hotel, and on the eighth day, at about 10 o'clock, mode his appearance

what occurred, though he acted coher

Dr. Hammond's daughter has completed a novel entitled "Mr, Perkin's Daughter," which has been accepted by G. P. Putnam's Sons, - The plot turns upon the idea of a double consciousness. The heroine, while in the "second state," engages herself to be married, and when she recovers her normal condition has forgotten all about that, : The publishers have induced Dr; Hammond to write a preface, which certifies that this- phenomenon of double consciousness is recognized by the medical profession, Minneapolis Tribune.

Food of this kind is slowly burned in the interior economy of the (Miter, but the animal heat evoked is greater than that produced by any other kind of animal food. Wear plenty of clothing, not

necessarily in heavy outer wraps, which only keep off the wind, as in garments which cling closely to your skin aud retain your animal heat the heat you arc making in your personal stove. Clothing by itself does not warm, but by its non-conducting power prevents animal heat from passing away from the body too rapidly, or the outside temperature from reaching the body. Then, as to sleeping arrangements. Lots of people fill the stoves in their chambers to red hotness, till the air is almost suffocating. This is a great mistake. The room should be no warmer than usual; but extra bed-covering should be used. He wlio goes to bed with an easy conscience, just enough' food in his stomach to keep the gastric juice out of mischief, his room not warmer than 70 degrees, and enough clothes on him to keep the animal heat from passing off too rap idly, will sloop the sleep of the just whose notes are provided for. -JJx-changc, - .

Tenderness and Liberality. What is charity? This question was put to a little girl, and her reply was, 4 Giving to tho poor what wo do not want for ourselves." Her answer was, undoubtedly, given from observation; for children are- observing creatures, more so than we always give them credit for. Often we hear and pay, if not in words, by our actions' 'It is only a little child, it' will not notice or remember," and yet all the while -they are rereiving impressions from which they draw their own inferences and definitions of what grown people do and say. Is it not too often the case that we give them good cause to define the word charity as the little girl did? When we attempt to give the poor anything are we not apt to select those things that we consider worn out, or perhaps fit so badly that we want them out of the way? If we have things we do not want it is all right to let those have them who need and will use them. But if our charity extouds no further than this, how much of the genuine article do we possess? Many years ago a merchant was passing along one of the streets of a large city. It was a cold, dark", wintry night, but what cored he for the cofd, even though the snow was falling thick and fast around him? His costly overcoat was buttoned close, and his hands were encased in gloves that defied tho bitter winds; From the cold, marble steps of a building he was - passing a little girl clothed (if you can call it clothed) in a few scanty rags extended a thin cold hand, and in faint, piteous tones, , begged for "only one penny." Tho merchant passed on, nor heeded . the piteous pleading of the homeless one. Ho was on his way to a meeting called to devise ways and means to relieve the sufferings of tho poor. As he passed on he said to himself, "Yes, it will be as good ah investment as I can make. It will be- a good-advertisement for my business, and will pay a big profit; for, if to-night I give 500 to tho committee for the poor, it will come out in the morning papers with a big puff, my nAhiG

will stand high, and many new customers j

will be sure to patronize the merchant who was so generous to the poor." 1 Ho reached the place of meeting and

j gave his hundreds of dollars for the poor; but was there any real charity about it?:

:No. It was' simply a selfish transaction to gain more money and a big name for himself. ' Tho morning papers came out with a glowing account of. the largehearted charity of the merchant. Following the lengthy report of the meeting for the benefit of the poof was an item stating that: a little girl wafound dead under the snow at. the foot of, the steps leading to the bank building on street: Many seem to think that charity is simply the giving of our goods to the pool and needy, but Webster defines the word with three others, "tenderness, good will, and liberality." Tenderness! I am glad that word is put in as one definition to-the word charity, that we may show true-charity by throwing a cloak over the fault of others, aud. trying to briug to light their virtues. In an old book I read that "Charity 'Sufferetlv long, and is kind; charity en-vict-h' no! is. not puffed up. Aud now abideth faith", hope, charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity. And -above all things have charity among yotirselves." Correspondent in Household. s . . House of Wnrtemberg. The house of Wurtemberg, it is said, derives its name, from the following - legend: "A poor burgher 'fell hr love with the daughter of the Emperor of Austria, and as tho young people saw no prospect of obtaining the imperial consent to the union, they fled " together into' Huabia, where they bought ft small piece of land, and established an inn. It stood at the foot of .a mountain, and its possessor therefore went by the name of 'Wilt am Berg,' or' the 'landlord at' the Mountain. One drty the Emperor was traveling: to Frankfort, and -stopped oa on his way at his daughter's housa .without recognizing her. She knew him directlv, and persuaded her husband to make hjmself known to the Emperor, and to beg his forgiveness.. .Accordingly, taking their little son they fell at hisfoet entreating his pardon, which he willingly granted. -Moreover, tho Emperor created his son-in-law a duke; but iu memory of this occurrence he was to keep his'nam'e Wirt ani' Berg, which subs'esequently became Wurtemberg.
