When we got back to our sanctum on
Monday we scarcely recognized the place.
The boys had brushed the dust of ages
from the furniture; and had removed the
cob-web like festoons that long had been
the delight of the eyes of those who have
a penchant tor such pendants; and they
had, with artistic sweep of broom, frescoed
the ceiling and removed evidences of care
less housekeeping from the door. Of course
we knew that it was not in honor of our
temporary withdrawal, for such a thought
would militate against the old proverb:
“When the cat's away
The mice will play.”
We have learned that on the afternoon
of the day on which this beautitying ot our
headquarters, which we thought were past
improvement, took place, the “boys had
put an extra drop of oil on each journal of
the pres-, and were printing the paper
beautifully—every-mother’s son ot ’em (but
one who was not in the secret, or some se
cret had discarded his ottice toggery
and substituted Prince Albert suits,! lnnese
laundried liuen. etc.
S’mother time we’ll tell why this was
thus. _

Not a few of the citizens of Charlestown
have recently become greatly excited over
the astounding facts, that several of their
friends who had been pronounced by their
physicians as incurable and beyond all hope

Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption,

For a few days since the last issue of The
Free Press the editor was laid up for re
pairs made necessary, we suppose, by “Win
ter lingeriug in the lap of Spring,’’—pro
ducing a Winter rigor and a Spring fever.
Some patches were put on our larboard side.
If we could transfer a part of the pungency
of those patches (planters) to our paragraphs
this week some other anatomy besides our
own might have blisters and be the better
for it. There’s nothing like a fellow hav
ing a touch of infirmity’s hand now and
then. It gives opportunity for the mani
festation of some of the good there is in peo
ple, and the sympathy of such expi eased is
a compensation for the aches we sustain.—
And we were not without expressions of a
kind as beautiful as a picture. But in cups
of most folk there’s a tincture more or less
bitter that sometimes serves as a tonic. For
instance: just as we were contemplating
the bright things in life and the frolics of a
calf in the yard comes a note like the fol
lowing :
'• The times are hard and money is scarce, so
you will please stop sending me the paper."
Of course we immediately lost interest in
the capers of the calf.
Now it was not the lass in prospective of
a year's subscription that troubled us. A
couple of dollars or so is an insignificant
sum compared with what we haven’t, or
with what we ought to have, or with what
we owe! But it was thsloss of a subscriber
that wrought anguish in our soul ! Do
you appreciate the loss ot a subscriber to
the home paper? You know there’s a nice
distinction between the loss of a subscriber
and a lost subscriber. The former cannot
be regained ; the latter may be found. Con
sidering the former, as indicated by the lore
I going note, it just made us so miserable that
we were indifferent as to whether our
clothes would fit or not. We got up all
the same.
Now, as to lost subscribers. Doubtless
some of our contemporaries lose them ; but
they ought to put bells on ’em before they
lose themselves-chestnut bells !

The May Wide Awake opens with a bril
liant frontispiece, “Springtime,” by E. S.
Tucker, reminiscent of the open squares
and parks where dainty little girls throng
in all the freshness of new spring gowns
and hats, merry with their jumping-ropes.
The whole number is ensphered in spring
light and air—what with Mrs. Blake’s “A

“Dandelions,” Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney’s
“Bird-Talk,” Marion Douglas’s “Arbutus,”
Mr. Barnes’s “Spring Shower” and Miss
Watson’s very funny “A Successful Gar

Miss Eleanor Lewis’s article, "A Select

delightful “readableness” is by the editor
of Oiir Little Men and Women, Mrs. Fran

Wednesday afternoon a dozen or more
young ladies from Stephenson Seminary
turned our sanctum into a “rosebud garden
of girls.” The dear creatures,—we couldn’t
get their names, for we were too busy get
ting at the pretty expression of each one.
A composite picture of the group would
make a rare picture. Of course, after look
ing at the machinery and learning how par
agraphs are put up and put forth, they
wanted to know something about the “print
er’s devil.” Of course we told them he went
about as a rearing lion seeking whom he
may devour—and we verily believe our rosy
cheeked devil could have eaten every one
of ’em,—and the rest-of the office force, in
cluding the editor, had a sort of cannibalic
appetite whetted. The hoys are just hun
gry tor more school girls.
Just as we go to press our attention is called
to a paragraph in the Shepherdstowr. KegisUr,
wherein friend Snyder sympathizes with us—
he always doe- when he finds us short of wood.
Of course we would have seen his clever note
if we had not been laid by for repairs—we al
ways read the /;<;;.>/<• with pleasure and profit.
Fact js, friend Snyder, we are out of wood ho
cause our farmer friends think we do not need
it if we can make things so hot for some folks
without it. So can a hornet, but that sort of
caloric can't cook a dinner. Please speak a
word to that acorn.

The many friends of Mr. A. \\. Hawks,
the popular monologist, tendered bun a
benefit Thursday evening at the hall of the ;
Young Men’s Christian Association. It
was in the form of a musical and literary
entertainment, the programme of which
delighted a large audience. Mr. Hawks
was himself the manager, and acted a con-,
spicuous part. The audience expected fun
aud they were not disappointed. The exer
cises were inaugurated with an organ solo,
which Mr. Hawks manipulated with a han
dle. His rendition of the “Last Rose of
Summer’’ with variations will be long re
membered. All ladies who wore hats over
II inches in height, were notified that they
would find resting places for them under
the chairs. More genuine humor has been
rarely concentrated in any one man than j
that to be found in Mr. Hawks. People '
who never laughed before found it impossi
