Jennie’s Graduation Dress.

“Now, go on with your study, Jennie. It’s useless to discuss the matter.” “But mother, I don’t see—” “Of course you don’t see, dear, but when your father has decided, he hits derided, you know. Don’t think any more about it. Come, I can’t spare you but fifteen minutes more. You must help me ou Johnny’s jacket—just the buttonholes, my eyes are so poor. ” “Why don’t you get Miss Stitchson to make the buttonholes?” “Don’t ask me. What did your father say yesterday noon, and again just now at supper time? If you will make them I cau get the jacket finished to-night. He needs it enough. ” “Now, mother Mayberry, it’s too bad! Tom’s suit is shabby, but I don’t believe he cares. One day more won’t make much difference, anv way; and I will help on the buttonholes to-morrow afternoon if Prudy don’t come for me to practice that duet for her. ” “No, my dear. ‘Never put off till tomorrow what can be done to-day’— Grandma’s motto, you know, I wish you would bear it in mind more than you do. There —now you mustn’t say enothei word—keep your thoughts on your lesson. I shan’t speak for fifteen minutes.” At this Jennie resumed studying, for she was as desirous as her mother was for her to be correct in recitations. She has been dreading this last review in history, which was to determine her rank in scholarship. After her father was anxious that she should stand high at graduation—only three weeks hence—he had even taken pains to go over with her all the battles of the rebellion and the events of the Franco-German war, dates were such trouble to her; and taught her an old method of his own for memorizing such things accurately. She went on patiently with the words of the book. But lam sorry to say her thoughts wandered to Prudence Winn’s new dress, and to a small package in her pocket which she had not yet had the courage—opportunity, she would have said, to show her mother; yet which she must see this very evening if her long cherished hopes were to be fulfilled. A pencil was needed to mark the battle of the Wilderness from her memorizing method, and in taking it from her pocket out came the package. Her pink cheeks took on a deeper hue as she hastily snatched at it before it fell to the floor, and there was a confused droop of her quivering eyelids before her mother’s questioning glance. Not a word was said, but Mrs. Mayberry extended her baud, and Jennie dare not ignore the unspoken request.

“What does this mean, daughter? Jordan & Marsh’s shop bill—black silk —samples!” said Mrs. Mayberry, slowly, as she unfolded the little package. “I wanted to know what it would cost,” came the reluctant words, as the girl’s nervous fingers turned and returned the pages of her history. “Other girl’s, lots of them, do.” “Do what?” “ Send for samples.’’ “Without consulting their parents? I hope not, Jennie. How could you ?” There was no answer, and the question was repeated. But before she had time to reply Mr. Mayberry and Tommy—who had been busy over an hour in the barn looking after the comfort of the little heifer and Nan, her mother, and seeing that Jenks, the old roan, and Daisy, the pony, were all right, and everything about the premises snug and orderly-—came hurriedly in. Mr. Mayberry, quick to read faces, saw that something unpleasant was under consideration. Presuming it was the same—graduation and expenses—which had been talked over at tea time, he said: “I’ve been thinking it all over, Jennie. I can’t bear to have you feel unhappy and dissatisfied, and instead of giving money for hiring music that day and evening I’ll let the class have the use of our piano—you and Prudie Winn can play well enough for anybody who will be there. How do you like that ? I’ll take it to the school-house and back, too. ”

Jennie did not answer. She had recovered from her confusion, and only a sickly smile showed that she had understood his suggestion. “A good idea—don’t you think so, mother?” he added, with a little chirruppy laugh, which Mrs. Mayberry an- ' swered with another—but her’s was forced and hollow. Tommy saw the samples of silk, still in his mother’s hand. “Something for my new jacket trimmings, is it!” he asked. “Oh, no; Jenny, you might as well tell your father about it, ” was the response, in low, sad tones. * J enny began to cry. “Hi! hi!” said her father, cheerfully; “this won’t do for a seventeen-year-old young lady. What’s up? I don’t see anything to cry about. You’re getting “nervous, sis. Too much study, I’m afraid. I shall be glad when you get through this terrible last term. But you’re coming out well—that’s not the trouble, I hope? Let’s run over the battles again, so as to be sure of them.” And he took up the book which she had pushed aside. Mrs. Mayberry laid the strips of silk upon the book. “What do you think of those?” she asked, gently. “Those?” he asked. “Why, what are they? How came you by them?” “Is it best for Jennie to have a graduation suit like either of them?” “Our Jennie? Good grandmother of Methuselah! Our Jennie rigged out like a fifty-year-old ? You’re joking, wfe!” Jennie had ceased crying Mid now looked up anxiously. “Never was I more in earnest, John.” “Well, I don’t pretend to know about these things. But you don’t really want it, do you, chiid? Such a gloomy thing. Why, you ought to have something bright and cheerful then, it seems to me.”

“It would be very serviceable,” said Jennie, meekly. “Serviceable —how?” queried her father. “Your mother’s dresses are always serviceable —and they are not silk. And then look •at the cost of it. Whew! Ten —fifteen dollars, I suppose.” “More than double that,” returned Mrs. Mayberry. “That settles the question. No, it will not be serviceable for my daughter -—not at that price. ” “But if I get the school at Stapleton?” asked Jennie. “Ah! If! Time enough to talk about silk dresses when you’ve money that you

don’t know what to do with. If you do teach, you shan’t begin for over a year.” “More than half the girls in our class will have silks for graduation, Pruey says, and — 99 “I suppose she will; she looks like that kind of a girl. And, as usual, her father is going to borrow my mowing machine next summer, and the new plow I must buy in April. No, no daughter—no black silk for you yet However —let me see. I have it now! One of my happy thoughts—just in the nick of time, I declare!” He drew out his pocket-book, and from its folds took several bank bills. “Mr. Simonds paid for his hay this afternoon. I’m right glad to get the money just now—was intending it for a certain purpose, a plan your mother and I made a while ago. But I’ve changed my mind within an hour, and, Jennie, if you will wear the same dress you have on now—the neat gray flannel with the pretty pink neck-tie—at the graduation, you shall have every cent he paid me—to spend as you choose. ” Jennie looked troubled. “I’ll be there to see,” he added. “Moreover and likewise,” he continued merrily, “Tommy and I will get as many spruce trees and as much evergreen to trim the school-room as you will accept. And mother’ll leud all her plants, every flower-pot, I’ve no doubt. ” “Certainly, with pleasure,” responded Mrs. Mayberry.

“The graduation, or commencement, rather—for then you will really begin your life as a woman,” say Mr. Mayberry, “ought to be a joyful occasion. And yet a serious and thoughtful one, as you then lay aside childish things and take the first step toward the sober realities of life. And I want you to kuow, Jennie, that the first step will have much to do’ in determining your future course. Don’t begin with show and extravagance then—even if you—that is, I—can afford it; it would not be right or becoming. “Mike Brady hasn’t any overcoat, father, because Mary’s got to have a new gown to graduate in,” said Tommy. “And Mrs. Drayton told me a fortnight ago that Hannah had left the high school on account of the expense of graduation,” said his mother. “Well, I suppose there are others ‘in the same box,’ as Uncle Russell expresses it He said to me the other day that he should not be able to take up his note as soon as lie expected, next month; his two boys’ school expenses are so great this last term.” “All the girls are telling what they shall wear, and I thought—l expected —” began Jennie in a trembling voice. Her father interrupted her, placing the bank bills in her hand. “Think it over to-night, dear. You have had good teachers and yon are fond of them, I know, and are attached to your mates; have had many happy hours in the old school-room; will wish to look back on tlio last days spent in there with pleasant memories. Spend the money—it is yours now—in a way that will give you the most delightful recollection. ” “Now, please, let us drop the subject,” said her mother, laying the samples on her work-stand, and taking up Tommy’s jacket. “Am Ito have your help on the button-holes, dear?” she added, quietly. Jennie gave her a bright smile, gathered up the bits of silk, went directly to the stove and threw them in the fire. “Buttonholes, buttons—anything you say,” was her answer, as she seated herself on a stool at her mother’s side, that both might sew at the same time. ‘ ‘How about your battles ? Dates all right, daughter?” asked her father. “Let me hear them. ” She recited them slowly and correctly, ending with a gay laugh, and—“l was determined to have them right. ” “And you have succeeded. Add another—a victory for General Good-Sense at Mayberry point. What’s the date?” “Never mind. Graduation day, we’ll call it, perhaps,” and having elapsed her purse with a vigorous snap, there was a twinkle of its steel rings as she slipped it into her pocket; and then her skillful fingers ran rapMly thi-ough the mazes of buttonhole stitches. So Tommy’s jacket was completed, and he was glad enough to have it ready to wear the next day. Graduation day was remarkably fair for March. The school-room was crowded with the parents and friends of the pupils. Everybody admired the decorations of evergreen and flowering plants, which Mr. Mayberry not only provided, but assisted in arranging. Not one of the pupils passed more creditably through the exercises than Jenny Mayberry, and certainly not one looked prettier than she iu her modest gray dress, with a pink bow at her throat. More than one among the gentlemen visitors inquired who that handsome girl in gray was—“ And such easy, charming manners,” added some. “And such a fine scholar, ” said others.

The music—only Jenny Mayberry’s piano and singing by the pupils—was liked so well that a persistent encore of the last song brought its repetition, during which Mr. Mayberry, bearing a large package, passed slowly up one of the crowded aisles to the teachers’ platform. When the singing ceased, all eyes turned in expectation toward him as he carefully unfolded a large picture from it wrappings. It was a fine engraving, a portrait o Abraham Lincoln, in a beautiful frame. “My daughter’s gift to the school, in memory of the pleasant hours here passed,” said Mr. Mayberry to the principal. A complete surprise was this, and everybody seemed astonished at the generous gift. In a few words Mr. Mayberry told the story of its purchase. Then it was hung on the wall back of tliq. teacher’s desk. And that is the way that the change in the graduation exercises of the High School at Mayberry Point was brought about, and why the pupils wear their every-day dresses, and furnish their own music, and make the decorations themselves for that occasion. The reason, too, that there is always such a large class to graduate, and that there is less love of dress and finery among the young people of the place, and such good books in its school library, and so many pictures on the school-room walls, and those two Rogers’ groups in corners. —New England Farmer.

Inauguration Days.

There seems to be a general belief that Gen. Garfield was the fiist of our Presidents to go into office on a Friday. He was really the third, both John Quincy Adams and Franklin Pierce having had that distinction. To settle the matter we print the list of inauguration days, premising that Washington was not sworn in until April, 30, 1789, and that when the 4th of March comes on a Sunday the ceremonies take place the next day: George Washington Wednesday, March 4,1789.

HIS MAJESTY JAY GOULD.

n« fmcmsi <rf (New Tork Times.( Judging from what is commonly said concerning Mr. Jay Gould, the Father of his Country might as well have spared himself the trouble of a birthday. There is no doubt that Washington meant weU, and that he worked hard to establish free government in North America; but his work has lasted only a century, and Mir. Gould is now on the point of completely and forever destroying it There was a time when Mr. Gould, viewed as a financial phenomenon, was comparatively little larger than a man s hand; but he has since darkened the whole heavens with his baleful shadow. So long as he was supposed to be merely engaged in making a fortune the public cared little about him, but he has now thrown off the mask, and is seen in the act of seizing not only the supreme power of the Nation, but all our powers, our bodies, and to a large extent our sonls. Controlling, as be now does, the telegraph system of the country, vast lines of railways, and two, if not three, of the newspapers belonging to the Associated Press, he has the standing-place from which he Can not merely ruin, but utterly upset, the free Government that Washington and his associates established. If we may believe all that is said of Mr. Gould, he already controls no one knows precisely how many trunk lines of railways, and he can at no very distant period control every trunk line in the country. He can depress the stock of this road or “bull” the stock of another so as to make millions of dollars, and lie can do this every week in the year. With the means already at his command he can readily and rapidly gain possession of every great line of railway connecting the East with the West and the North with the South. Being thus master of the railways, he can levy tolls at his pleasure, and receive revenues greater than those of any existing government. With such untold millions in his possession there will be no possible combination of capitalists or patriots that can worst him. To the control of the telegraph lines Mr. Gould is now said to be determined to add the control of the Associated Press, and it is popularly believed that by the purchase of one more newspaper he will achieve this end. He will thus, to a large extent, control what has been the free press of America. The newspapers will print only such news as lie allows the telegraph wires to carry, and will express his opinions with the same fidelity now exhibited by the Tribune and World. Mr. Gould can thus elect the next President, even without incurring the expense of buying the nominating conventions. He can have one of his representatives nominated by the Republicans and one by the Democrats, so that whatever maybe the result of the election his candidate will be elected. He will likewise pack Congress with men who. will be thoroughly subservient to him, and can thus effectually prevent any legislation which might interfere with his plans. There would still remain the Supreme Court, but no one will suppose that he will long permit it to retain its independence. - When the day arrives that shows us Mr. Jay Gould controlling the three branches of the National Government, the railroads, telegraphs, and press of the country, he will be the autocrat of America as truly as Alexander is the autocrat of Russia. He will sit iu his private office and dictate legislation at his E leasure, and levy indirect taxes for the enefit of his personal pocket. The people will be entirely helpless. The press will be silent, and the expression of any opinion hostile to the wish of Mr. Gould will be punished, not by imprisonment, death, or any of the violent methods practiced by military despots, but by the swift and sure financial ruin of the rash victims. The plutocrat will not need to surround himself with an army; but he will govern none the less despotically under the forms of laws. He can crush out any industry in a single day, and reduce whole provinces to beggary, and he can reward his supporters with a magnificence which no Roman Emperor ever exhibited. In that day Mr. Jay Gould will own about fifty millions of slaves, whose slavery will be as real, if not as apparent, as that of the four millions of Southern negroes before the rebellion.

The Trade in Canaries.

The importation of canaries from Germany to this country amounts to nearly 80,000 birds every year. The importation began about the year 1847, and has been steadily increasing ever since. Almost without exception the imported canaries now come from the little town of Andreasberg, in Hanover, Prussia. The town nestles among the Hartz mountains, and most of the men are miners, the mines of cobalt, lead, nickel and iron being among the best in that part of the country. The women of the town, the population of which numbers about 4,000 souls, make almost as much money as the men by breeding canaries. The industry sprang up about 150 years ago, and has since been carried on steadily, certain families having worldwide reputations among bird fanciers for the peculiar excellence of their birds, the training of the birds being a matter of skill handed down in families from generation to generation. The birds pair in February and begin to come to this country about June. They come in crates of little boxes, such as they are «pld in, 200 in a crate, and the losses on 'Wm voyage are usually very small, not iaOHJJpmting to more than 5 per centrum The little wooden cages in which the birds are imported and sold are made by the children and women of the Hartz mountains, and cost there 4 cents apiece. Dealers pay an average price of 50 cents for their birds and take the risk of transportation. There is no duty on canaries. The highest-priced birds come from Belgium, and are recognized at a glance by their long, thin forms. In New York a fair Belgian singer is worth six to ten dollars, but excellent Andreasberg birds which sing pleasantly may be bought here at from two to three dollars. A canary has no natural song, and if not taught will not sing at all. Bird fanciers say that Americanbred canaries are of no great value because their notes never possess the musical qualities of imported birds. No reason for this degeneration is known, unless, as is surmised, the German canaries profit by the nightingales, linnets and other birds which they hear, and which can not be brought to this country.

The Formation of Coal.

In the swamps and bayous of the moist regions of the South pure vegetable matter, having the appearance and properties of peat, may often be found in the very act of accumulation. It frequently occurs in immense beds, and it requires no trained observation to see that, in addition to the remains of the ordinary low marsh plants, it is made up of the ruins and refuse of swamp-loving forest trees. Now, all about the flanks and spurs of the Rocky mountains, with greater or less intervals, from New Mexico to far beyond the northern limits of the United States, there are found beds of coal of peculiar quality. This coal is covered up with hardened mud containing shells and bones ot aquatic animals, and everything about it suggests that the coal-making material was .somehow sunk beneath the waters of an old lake, and was buried under the gradually-increasing bed of mud with which the old lake-basin was finally filled. But the point of interest is this: that in many places the Rocky mountain coal has reacheda stage of decomposition not so very much in advance of the humus and peat of our modern swamps and bayous. We might, indeed, hesitate about calling some portions of it coal at

all—for the original structure is almost perfectly preserved—yet it must be admitted that for the most part the decomposition has advanced far enough to produce an article that deservedly ranks as coal. In the light of what may be observed going on in every favorably situated swamp to-day, the source of the material and the method of accumulation of the Rocky mountain coal can hardly be doubtful. I need not weary you by leading you step by step through all the known coal fields that illustrate the different stages in the process of coal formation. It will be sufficient to sav that a perfect graduation may be traced from the lignite, as it is called, of the Rocky mountains to the purer and more perfect coal of the Mississippi valley ; and so, even setting aside the internal evidence of our lowa coal, we are compelled to believe that it is simply one of the terms of the same series to which the lignite and the peat belong, and that the initial term of that series is to be looked for in the living vegetation of modern marsh and forest. — It. S. Calvin, in Popular Science Monthly.

NOTHING ON EARTH SO GOOD.

[From the Worcester (Hass.) Spy.] Certainly a strong opinion, said one of our reporters to whom the following was detailed by Mr. Henry Kascliop, with Mr. Geo. E. Miller. 418 Main St., this city: I suffered so badly with rheumatism in my leg, last winter, that I was unable to attend to my work, being completely helpless. I heard of St. Jacobs Oil and bought a bottle, after using which I felt greatly relieved. With the use of the second bottle I was completely cured. In my estimation there is nothing on eartli so good for rheumatism as St. Jacobs Oil. It acts like a charm.

Heart Disease.

When an individual is reported to have died of disease of the heart, we are in the habit of regarding it as an inevitable event, as something which could not have been foreseen or prevented, and it is too much the habit, when persons suddenly fall down dead, to report the heart as the cause ; this silences ail inquiry and investigation, and saves the trouble and inconvenience of post mortem. A truer report would have a tendency to save many lives. It is through a report of disease of the heart that many an opium eater is let off into the grave, which covers at once his folly and his crime ; the brandy drinker, too, quietly slides around the corner thus, and is heard of no more ; in short, this report of disease of the heart is the mantle of charity which the politic coroner and sympathetic physician throw around the graves of generous people. At a scientific congress at Strasbourg it was reported that, of sixty-six persons who had suddenly died, an immediate and faithful post mortem showed that only two persons hod any heart affection whatever—one sudden death only in thirty-three, from diseases of the heart. Nine out of sixty die of apoplexy —one out of every seven ; while fortysix—more than two out of three—died of lung affection, half of them congestion of the lungs, that is, the lungs were so full of blood they could not work ; there was not room for air enough to get in to support life. It is, then, of considerable practical interest to know some of the common every-day causes of this congestion of the lungs, a disease which, the figures above being true, kills three times as many persons at short warning as apoplexy and heart disease together. Cold feet, tight shoes, light clothing, costive bowels, sitting still until chilled through after having been warmed up by labor or a long, hasty walk; going too suddenly from a close, heated room, as a lounger, or listener, or speaker, while the body is weakened by continual application, or abstinence, or heated by a long address ; these are the frightful causes of sudden death in the form of congestion of the lungs; but wfiich, being falsely reported as disease of the heart, and regarded as an inevitable event, throws people off their guard, instead of pointing them plainly to the true causes, all of which are avoidable, and very easily so, as a general rule, when the mind has once been intelligently drawn on the subject. —Haifa Journal of Health.

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving her house its spring renovating, should bear in mind that the dear inmates of her house are more precious than many houses, and that their systems need cleansing by purifying the blood, regulating the stomach and bowels to prevent and cure tho v diseases arising from spring malaria and miasma, and sho must know that there is nothing that will do it so perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best of medicines.—Concord (2V II ) Patriot. In 1830 John Forbes was Collector for Vermilion county, HI., which then included Chicago. Rather than incur the expense and trouble of a journey over the prairies to that town, he paid Chicago’s taxes out of his own pocket.

GRASSHOPPERS.

Efforts Toward Their ExtormbiatiM. The United States Entomological Commission, under the supervision of Prof. Riley, has completed its second report, relating to the Rooky mountain locust and Western cricket This report is mainly supplemental to the very valuable one printed last year. It treats of the beet means of subduing the locust in its permanent breeding-ground, with a view of preventing its migrating to the more fertile portions of the trans-Missis-sippi. The report makes a volume of nearly 400 pages. Prof. Riley oomes to the following conclusions: ' “ A large proportion of the money losses resulting from the locust invasions of 1867, 1869, 1874 and 1876 was the result of a panio of uncertainty as to the future. This resulted in disheartenment, in the abandonment of large tracts of the best farming lands to nature and the locusts. This will nrobably never again happen in the WeeL The knowledge already disseminated, the extent of the population now pouring into the Northwest, the rapid settlement of the Territory of Montana, and the completion of the Northern Pacific, Canadian Pacifio, the Utah and Northern railroads, and the consequent change In the surfaoe or the country due to human agency, will so essentially modify the locust situation that we believe the Weet will never again suffer as in the past. It remains for the people of the Rocky mountain plateau to use such local and general means as their own experience end this commission have suggested in the first and present reports for the State and Territorial and county Governments to make, and execute laws for combined and persistent action during times of general local invasion, and for the prevention of others. If this be dons in the platean region in the future, the invasions of the Western border Mississippi States will tend to become more and more feeble, inconsiderable and harmless, until, we venture to predict, the time will come when the losses from locusts will be only local and comparable with those inflicted bv locusts and grasshoppers in the Eastern Atlantic States. At any rale, the Western locust has already oeased to be a bugbear and object of dread. Familiarity with its habits and history has already taught the pioneer fanners of Utah, Montana and Colorado that with energy its ravages can be lessened if not entirely overcome, and no one intending to migrate West from the Atlantic States or from Europe need to be deterred by the fear of such alarming invasions as have occurred in former years.” One of the preventive measures suggested in the mountain and plateau areas is a permanent system of observations and warnings under the control of the Signal Bureau.

Workingmcn.

Before you begin-your heavy spring work after a winter of relaxation, your system needs cleansing and strengthening to prevent an attack of Ague, Bilious or Spring Fever, or some other spring sickness that will unlit- you for a season’s work. You wiil save time, much sickness and great expense if you will use one bottle of Hop Bitters in your family this month.— Burlington Hawk-Eye. The use of nice stationery marks a person of refinement and taste. It is a source of pleasure at once to the writer and the reader. In the same way the use of “loud” stationery, big monograms, fantastic shapes an gaudy letterheads marks the vulgar man, and witnesses far and wide to his love of ostentation and “splurge.” —Boston 2Yanscript.

In a valiant suffering for others, not in a slothful making others suffer for us, did nobleness ever he. The chief of men is he who stands in the van of men, fronting the peril which frightens back all others; which, if it be not vanquished, will devour the others. Every noble crown is, and on earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.— Carlyle. •
