And I knew the heart it came trom
Would be like a comforting staff
In the time and the hour of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong,
One of the hearts to lean on
When we think all things are wrong:
I turned at the click of the gate-latch,
And met his manly look ;
A face like his gives me pleasure,
Like the page of a pleasant book,
a steadfast purpose,

The County Paper.
Any man can take a newspaper. It
is the cheapest thing he can buy. It
costs less ~han a postage stamp"tless
than to send or receive a letter. Wuat
good does it do you? It instructs you
and your wife and teaches your chil-
dren ; it comes to vou every week rain
or shine, calm or storm, bringing you
the best news of the neighboorhood.
No matter what happens, it enters your
doors a welcome guest, full of sunshine,
cheer and interest. It shortens long
summer days and enlivens long winter
evenings, It is your adviser, your gos-
sip and friend. No man is just to his
wife and children who does not give
them the home paper to read.

"WOMEN OF. OF THE SEA.
These ~tare Slotted a ate oh a Wore
from Choice. :
The sailorsT superstitions fear that a
womanTs presence on shipboard invites
ill-luck has failed to deter women
whose hearts yearn for the sea from
gratifying this desire. The pages of
the maritime history. of; the world
contain the names of many matrons
and girls in various periods who, dis-
guised as men, have followed a life on
~the ocean wave, The majority. of
them not only proved excellent sailors,
but even fought bravely with cutlass,
pike and pistol against the foes of their
native land.
They did not even shrink from sail-
ing under the black flag; for the Eng-
lish women, Anne Bonny and Mary
Read, joined the buccaneers, the typ-
ical pirates of the Antilles, in order to
gain booty to their heartsT content.
A German writer gives a number of
among which the sgHowing oe inter-
Jean de Belleville, to av enge her hus-
band, who was murdered in; the year
1343 in Paris, fitted-out a squadron of
ships ~and ravaged the.coast of Nor-
mandy, burned castles and HJumined
the-seat at night with the glare of blaz-
ing villages. Jean de Belleville was
famed in her age as one of the most
beautiful women in Europe.
Sometimes jealousy has senta young
wife to séa in sailorgarb. The ballad
of bold: Hannah Snell is now known by
all saflors. This woman was born in
London in 1723, and in the course of
time married a German sailor named
Jacob Summs, who squandered her lit-
tle property and then deserted her.
To seek this faithless fellow, Hannah
donned menTs attire and went to 8a.
Her experiences during ~her quest
would fill volumes grave and gay, trag-
ic ahd comic ineidents alternated,. She
seryed only on English *men-of-war,
took part in numerous battles and re-
ceived. several wounds. After many
years she had the news thatT Jacob, in
punishment. for a serious crime, had
been put into a sack and thrown into
the sea somewhere in France. From
that time she left the royal service,
where her disguise had never been dis-
covered, and returned in) womanTs
clothes to London.. The government
granted her an annual pension of £5)
She is said to have
gone on the stage. afterward and ac-
quitted herself admirably in sailor
characters,
There are also high-hearted women
who have performed, many brave, her
roi¢ deeds, while sailing the seas with
their hushands. Among them Louise
Dittmar, the wife of the captain of the
Prussian steamer E@gaz, deserves the.
highest, praise. On the way home the
entire erew, except the captain and
helmsman, were attacked with serious
illness. The two, men undertook, to at-}
tend to the. engine, while the womalt
and this was done night and dny aU nMost
without relief, for weeks!� The steam-
er arrived in port safely, after seven of

~ SERVANTST BALL. IN. PARIS.
A Splendid Affair in in Which 6,000 Do-
| mestics Are Interested.
One of the great balls 6f Paris is that
of the so-called oBal des Gens de Mai-
son� at the Salle Wagram, which has
just been held. The oGens de Maison�
are an association comprising some
6,000 of the superior servants, the
cream, in fact, and the aristocracy of
the 150,000 domestics employed to wait
upon the well-to-do citizens of Paris.
The union is rich and eclectic, in so far
as it, will permit no servant to retain his
or her name on the rolls who has been
guilty of disgraceful conduct.
The president is M. Picard, a butler
of imposing presence, who, with 4
broad, tlue sash of office crossing his
capacioes white waistcoat, as the rib-
bon of the Legion of Honor crosses that
of President Faure, received the guests
at the ball with just as much dignity
and stateliness as if he were the chief
magistrate of the republic in person.
The demeanor of the guests was irre-
proachable, and the attire of both men
and women compared: favorably with
that of the people present at the mu-
nicipal ball a couple of days prev iously.
The men were in full evening dress.
while the magnificent jewels that
cre mal be mg ic tn nc
adorned the necks, thé arms, and the |
coiffures of many of the women gave
evidence of the fact that their mistress-
ee had allowed them for the occasion
free access to their caskets.
These gems, however, and the costly
laces may be said to have constituted
the sum total of the borrowed plumes,
for it was manifest. from the perfect
fit of the gowns that they had been
made for their wearers. This is by no
means surprising when it is borne in
mind that tothe ladyTs maids,the valets,
the butlers and the private coachmen
in Paris this Bals des Gens de Maison
constitutes the principal social event
and festival of the entire year, the one
for which they reserve all their finery
and all their economies, as well as their
best manners. Masters and mistresses
seem to take pleasure in helping the
members of their household to cut 4
good figure on this oceasion, and many
is the JadyTs maid who can boast of
having had the finishing touches given
to her toilet and the jewels fastened
into her hair, around her throat and
wrists and into her ears by the hands
cf her own mistress. The only feature
of the entertainment calculated to
cause a smile and to create some
amusement was the preeedence accord-
ed to the servants of dukes over those
of marquises, and to those of marquises
over those of counts, the domestics of
ordinary untitled citizens being con-
tent to follow meekly in the wake of
their betters "Paris Letter.
He WAS RIGHT.
The One Juror Who Stood Out Against
Eleven Obstinate Men.
A standing joke around the MaineT
courts is the juror who stands out and,
refuges to agree with the leven ob
stinate men, who donTt think as he does.T
Judges are not apt to take kindly to
this style of man, and have been known
;
the crew had died on the passage. Tn
this case the valuable vessel! had actu-
ally been saved solely by the captain's
wife, for it is difficnit to estimate what
the two men could have done without |
her nid. Captains whose ship owners |
forbid them to take their wives with |
them might aptly cite as an opposing
argament of the example of Louise
Dittmar."Detroit Free Press.
NEW HAMPSHIRETS PRIDE.
Spleadid Work Done 6 for the Free Publio
Library System.
New Hampshire has reason to be
proud of her free public library system.
Splendid work has been accomplished
since 1592, and of the 233 cities and
towns in the state there are now not
more than 50 that have no free public
libraty. oThere is every reason ~to ex-
pect that even this: number will be
greatly reduced by the action of the
voters in these towns at. the next March
meeting. The value of these libraries,
