One evening, when Maggie had been pfeouta-year at Woolwich, and she was sitting alone, ia her school-room as usualj, for the pupils had just said good-night cisad been delivered to the tender mercies of their nurse. Miss Patterson walked in very much dressed end rathsB fiushed cmd excitecL "Miss Dunlop," she said, "we shaH have a few friends this evening, and I know one or two of them like an impromptu dance; will you be ready to come into the drawine-room and play if we should want you?" In the evening she put on her shabby black gown, and stuck a spray of white flowers in her golden hair., and waited patiently for the summons. When it came, with a roll of music under her arm, a flush onlher innocent, frightened face, and a scared, almost hunted, expression in her eyes,- she. descended and timidly opened the drawing-room door, and there stood still for a moment, star-* ing in astonishment. There sat the heiress, with an eager, pleased expression on her fswe, and leaning over her, talking and laughing, and mor© handsome than ever, and sunburnt and sol- dierly-lookingywas Alio Granger. The color rushed to Maggie's face, as if to say a.hurried good-by, and ih§n left it altogether. She, recovered self-posses- l§fbn, -however, and. walked, with what she flattered herself was great- dignity toward the piano. 8he felt rather than saw him sfsise his head and look at her, and the next moment fine saw him by her side. ■ "Maggie—my dear Maggie 1 . Why, fancy you being here; where -did yoa come from ? I have been trying to find you out for months." "I thought you"—and then she did ^ot.^OM^oWj-tos^g^oi?, Po-£$def,; r.]r mosir piteouslyv -" ^'I^aiS the governess here." '* Ajcs you? Oh, I Bee, "then, that is the.reason I have not seen you before, I suppose." " Do you really know Miss Dunlop ?" the heiress asked, coming up and speaking in her coolest manner, Maggie wished sincerely she could sink into her shoes and bury herself. "Why, of course I do; we have been Elay-fellows ever since we were born— »?en't we, Maggie?" And Maggie, feeling that she was backed up, answered bravely: "Yes." "Oh, indeed, how interesting 1" then turning to Maggie : " Will you be so good as to begin a waltz, Miss Dunlop ? This was to be our dance, I think," to Alic, and she -Bailed off with him triumphantly. He .came to her directly after the danoe was over. "I went down to Perlock to try and find out where you had gone to,"-he said, " but nobody knew.". "It didn't matter," she said, huskily, letting her fingers wander vaguely over the keys to make believe she wasn't very much interested in what he said. "Yes, it'did-^—it mattered a great deal. Why, I have got a box full of curiosities for you—clubs to fight: with, and a little heathen god oi two, and a statue of Buddha* and all sorts of things. I told you I should bring you them home. Do you livehere—I mean in this house f" - He said these last words under his breath, for the heiress came up, and he: w»s carried off to dance with Mrs. Sdikebody at the other end'of the rooni, but hot before Maggie had nodded a reply to him. Soon after this Miss Patterson came up to the piano, and, saying that she wished to1 play herself* and tfaat Maggie looked tired; dismissed her without being able to get another look at Alic. "' ? '-■ ^he next morning, to Maggie's very ■gn^ surprise, Miiis Patterson came info tlie^&cliool-room before the children had assembled 1' • "Miss Duhlopr/' she Said stiffly, . ff.I should like to know where you s&y you met Miv Granger," :,.,,- *" •rAtP'erlock;' His uncle " lived xtext door to my;motiier« : He is a Very old friend, indeed—-" * r, ■ [' "Thankyou.

If the delay be too great, the Indian, becoming uneasy toward sunset, after all due precaution, resolves on supplicating the beasts to resume their journey.

JULY 16, 18 NUMBE] ISSSHFE1M5PS SWPIPfm pFrom feo How "JosSc Xtoei.] 7Sh@ awittil prevalencs o2 the vice of chopping among women is ono of those oigns of the times which lead the thought- fal patriot almost to despair of the future of our country. Few people have any idea oi the extent to which our women are addicted to tMs purse-destroying vice. Statistics show that of every 1,000 women between th© ages of 18 and 45 no less than 693 are habitual shoppers, and of these more than one-half notoriously shop to what would be universally considered excess. Even girls younger than 18 are frequently found shopping. Mothers have actually been known to teach girls of tender years to shop by urging them to "play store" with one another, and to go through the ghastly mockery of buying useless things with unconvertible pin currency. When these children grow a little larger and go to school, their mothers supply them with pocket-money, and abet them in going mto shops and openly buying ribbons and things. It is now a difficult task to find, even in a retired country farmhouse, a girl who is absolutely uncon- taminated by shopping; for, although there may be farm-houses remote from all. kinds of shops, nevertheless the tempter, in -the shape of the peddler, wiE search out the innocent farmer's daughters, and with his wily ways lead them to take the first steps in a career of headlong shopping. The husbands' that have been ruined and the homes that have been made desolate by wives whose passion for shopping has mastered them, are almost without number. The amount of money annually spent in shopping by the women of Ajneriea is; so enormous iiiat in comparison with it the amount spent by men for whisky seems too-trifling to deserve notice. How to fight thiB terrible vice is a question to winch there has hitherto been no satisfactory answer. We cannot look to legislation Ior any relief. Neither ean we hope for anything from th© efforts -oi professional anti-shopping lecturers* These misguided women take-the extreme ground that all shopping is a sin per se, and denounce every shopkeeper as a fiend-* incarnate.. They insist that, the moderate shopper is as bad as the woman' who. wallows in shopping, and that she who buys a-calico dress is as £ad as she who buys forty yards of trimmings or insertion. If one of these lecturers hap-pei^-.tQ jbe^&a-eloquent ■wpaisai*.>.iu 're*f<*Smed: shdpp'er^ith a fund of eonnes* anecdotes and pathetic stories illustrative of the follies and miseries of shop-* ping, she is moderately sure to draw a large audience, but she produces little or no effect in reclaiming confirmed shoppers. Sometimes the lecturer may induce a few women to sign the total- abstinence shopping pledge, but of the signers nearly everyone relapses when the ejjgitement of the lecture has been forgC^"-!. The truth is that people will not oe brought to regard total abstinence from shopping in any and all circumstances as a Christian duty. The first ray of hope on this dark matter has been afforded by the organization of the,' * Shopping-Women's Moderation Society*" This society owes its origin to several intelligent and upright women who fully recognize the evils of excessive shopping, but who do not consider that shopping in moderation is necessarily wrong. As is well known, the favorite purchase of the confirmed shopper, is "trimmings," After the habit of shopping becomes fixed, calico, barege, hosiery, and even gloves cease to satisfy the victim. She craves the. stronger stimulus of " trimmings," and on these she squanders her own or her husband's substance. The..'"'Shopping- Women's Moderation Society "; pledges its members to abstinence from trim- mingsi except when ordered, by an experienced family dressmaker, and forbids them even to approach a counter where " trimmings" are sold. The members of the "society also agree to indulge in .shopping of any kind only in the .afternoon, and: never as a niere amusement The funds of the society will be used to aid such confirmed shop?, perr as "showman earnest desire tore- form, and fov.tiie relief of distressed ana impoverished .husbands wnose wives have ruintd them by excessive shop-, ping; and eivety member promises, in. employing servants, to give the prefer-' ence tothoseswlio do hoi.«h.0p. - The influence of a society which thus rejects the extreme: measures/ employed i>y ,'the, professional anti-shopping lecturers, and appeals.in:a reasonable y,-ay to the' -intelligence '6f: ;the community, ought to be very great."JIt.'will receive the'"support of tbe.";.very largeuclass of people who are disgusted with the violence and intolerance-of the-professional agitators.

His household wS& modesty not expensive; his wife- was .apparently not extravagant; he gave nothing;that wa.4' known to charity, and yet he was always impecunious. When he wanted to help Tilton he >&&ve a mortgage upon his house,.and now he has '-sold-hfe house, this because" the young birds. Bad all grown up and Sown oufc of the hest, aad yet it was a marvel that in his old age he should leave his comfortable home upon the Heights of Brooklyn and go into narrow quarters as a boarder. He spoke with a sigh, and very evident regret at the breaking ntx of his old house." TMs was strange, but the unfinished story in regard to his farmer, Thomas Turner," at Peek-skifl, is stifl mote strange. ' When Turner died Mr. Beecher took charge of. his papers, and burned a large number of them, among which, it is alleged, were a number ot promissory notes. The whPle thing has a queer look, and the question whicli agitates newspaper men is where* has all the money he has made in the last century, amounting to millions, gone to? Perhaps it is one of those mysteries" that no fellow can find out, but the curiosity of the natural man will prompt hini to find Out the undiscovered channel through which it flows.—Philadelphia Mecord. Did ever a Hellene, shepherd, priest or King, dare to climb up^the slopes of Olympus,- away above the lofty pastures of.-its dales and crests? Did even one only venture, by placing his foot upon the great peak, to find himself suddenly in the presence of these terrible gods? Ancient writers tell us that philosophers are not afraid of scaling Mount Etna, although much higher than Olympus; but they never mention' one. single mortal who has had the temerity to ascend the mountain of the gods, not even in the days of science, in that age when philosophers taught that -Ztsus and the other immortals were rn.es® conceptions of the huiflan.miiid., =_, . -- iLaler x>ix, other reHgibuS; disseminated among this various people living iu ,.^ie- surirounding plains, took possession';Sof the sacred mountamand' consecrated? it to new divinilaes;^^ There the Greek Christians, wotsliiped the 361^ Trinity instead of ^eus; thet still look m^on its three principal,peaks as the IB^ee great thrones of HeaVeh.

Proud of their courage, they believed themselves invincible as the mountain upon which they lived; they endowed Olympus itself with life. "I am," said one of their songs, ."I am Olympus, illustrious in all ages, and renowned amid Nations; forty- two peaks bristle upon my brow; seventy- two fountains flow down my ravines, and an eagle is perched upon my highest summit, bearing in its claws the head of a.valiant hero!"

Yea! The girls and I want to participate this year. Hope to set things up next week and add the info to my blog.
Not only are we going to do this, we're going to do it...in costume! Girls are trying to decide what kind of theme...aliens perhaps..? Wizard of Oz..? Random fairy tale characters..?
So excited to be able to join the crowds this year.
Welcome Trish, Alex and Sage! It will be great to have the three of you participate with all of us this year. It's such a fun time for all. Eagerly waiting to see what costumes they choose.
I never want to see a day
That's over forty degrees
I'd rather have it thirty,
Twenty, ten, five and let it freeeeEEEEEEeeze!
My Seek the Peak 2014 Photo Set
I am looking so farward to it too.
Though I will not be hiking, my plan is to volunteer and do my part with that...
Costumes....I like it ~ ALOT
I fancy a kilt so, that will be my costume, with a really special shirt (yep a costume)
~ Pocket ~
~ Everything happens in it's own time ~
That is wonderful Trish . Now I can finaly meet the three of you in person. I can't wait to find out what the costumes will be. I will stick to my kilt also.
Thanks, folks! Looking forward to it as well. It will be a bit diffcult managing the schedule, since from here on out, the girls are intent on highpointing every summer, but we will definitely make sure we're here in July for this wonderful event. It was be an honor to finally participate.

Next up: Vermont City Marathon: May, 2011
A place I was going to state classes at until today, that houses the fuel asst office, and a few other places here in Tamworth, is supposed to have a little outside fun day this coming weekend to show families what all services are in the building, and I was making the popcorn for sale. If Hanna hits saturday or sunday or both, it will be a dud, and they will have to re schedule the event. I am not gunna take our commercial popcorn machine out in the rain for anybody!!!
Summit Club Member
Give me the outdoors, and I will show you the world!!
The NOGAPS has Hanna skirting the coast of Florida before making landfall somewhere between GA an SC. If this is the case the same areas already suffering from Fay will get hit again.
It will also give me a good excuse to go back to Jacksonville.
Is there really any BAD weather???
Looks like it will go just off the coast of NJ too, but probably as a tropical storm at that point. Starting to make arrangements for boats, etc., just in case...
Would be nice to get some "weather" without having to travel to Mount Washington... :-)
Although Hanna looks terrible this morning, she still has a good circulation. She continues to encounter shear. She may be so displaced that her effects are felt over where I live.
Is there really any BAD weather???
I am....
"Over Fifty years of caring and loving Cocker Spaniels"
Here's wishing you all stay safe and dry, and that there isn't any damage to your town or property.
I've never experienced a hurricane, and can't imagine what it must be like to be in one, or not too far from one. So I hope today and this weekend bring nothing but some wimpy moisture and a few light winds.
The center of circulation is still forecast to move directly over my area. Good, but not ideal. I expect tropical storm watches in the next few hours.
Next up: Vermont City Marathon: May, 2011
I've already got tropical storm watches here, and sustained winds of 40 to 50 knots are predicted, probably Saturday night into Sunday...
I too will be disappointed if we don't get a "good" storm...
I do hope you all stay safe, but I hope you get something to enjoy!
As for us, we are looking at the possibility of getting hit hard by Ike. The current forecast track send him up the western side of Florida over water, which could potentially nail the Panhandle of Florida, putting me on the east side of the storm.
Time will tell, we shall see.
I will say that if it is going to come in as a cat 3 or higher over my area, I will not be staying in my house. I will get away just far enough to experience it yet safely.
Is there really any BAD weather???

What is the closest you have come to a deer?
I walked into the woods and stopped and loaded my gun. I felt as if something was watching me. I turned to my right, and was looking right at the butt end of a buck, who was looking over his shoulder right at me. He was 2 feet away in between the trees. If I had thought I could have gave him a gun powder enema.
