Just now, when the streets and roads are daily traveled by tramps and those who live by stealing anything they can lay their hands on, it is well to keep the front door lockcd-These impudent fellows nearly always apply al the front door and never ring the door bell, If there be oae, but knock and if the summons is not immediately answered, open the door and walk in.

They know the lady folks are all busy in the back part of the house, and the time is ripe for them to make a haul. The loss is not noticed until it is too late to catch the thief. To be on the safe side and guard against these fellows, keep your front door locked. A Great Blow. Old "Boreas" has been putting in hit best work the past few days.

TxVe tor nuteaea ia voui hc I aea vacillation, irreaoTtition, flckle. nesa, a tendency toward aeglienr or eva- sion of unplfiiaiit duties, occasional siiells of mufuseoeaa.

Sbov ma anv person's foot- covering after two months' wear, or often Mat than that, nod I will tell yon person' character. If both heel sole art evenly norn level the veareraielar4iead-d. and a goad baiinesi u. a a. l- luU trustworthy or an excellent wife and xothr.

If th outside sole is rat through, th wearer, if a man, is inclined to be i venturous, unreliable and spasmodic in aU sis acta if a woman, aha ia predisposed boldness and wayward tendencies. If the inside of th sole is cut through it indicates weakness ud vacillation in a man and modesty in, a toman. A few months ago there eame into my hop a stranger having a pail of shoes with the outside of th sole wont through and tbe to aosMwhat eat away, vtul the hall was nearly a good as new. I said to my wife, after he went away, 1 that man's a aad was. Th very next day a boy came up from the lolice station to get th shoes, and said the wearer had been irrested on a clear cose of sneak-theivuig.

A certain young man who has patroniz. me for years was keeping company with two girls, also customers of mine. I nctioed that one of them wore out her shoes on the outside of the sole first, while the other stepped squarely and wore down both shoes alike. I've always had a liking for the young fellow, and, knowing that he wis wavering between the two girls, I took him aside one day and showed him the shoes of his flames and told him what I have told you The result was that he married the square stepper and was happy, while the oth girl disgraced herself. I can also tell something of a person's tendencies by the size uf Lh shoe, the breadth of the sole, the con luion of the buttons or strings, the amount of wear ou the toe, the oondition of the lining, etc.

I would not advise friend to marry a girl who squeezes a number four foot in a niun EH two shoe, for such a one opt to provi rain, affected and frivolous. "Do I believe that ch.inictor can bo molded by keeping thi) shoes properly soled nd heeled Well, it has its influence, rhft gait of a person is as closely connected with his disposition as the expression of his oouutenauce, though not so easily read by most persons. To continue the wearing of a shoe which runs over badly ouly tcuds to oonfirni the habit in the person's walk. Your job Is done, sir sorry 1 couldn't give you a oetter charactor, but truth it truth, and I never flatter." BEING A BOY. There is a great comfort to a boy in the amount of work he can got rid of doing.

It is sometimes astonishing how slow he oan go on an errand perhaps, he couldn't axplaln himself why, when he is sent to the neighbors' for yeast, he stops to stone the frogs. He is not exactly cruel, but he wants to see if he can't hit 'em. It is a curious fact about boys, that two will lio 6 great dual slower about doing anything than one. Hoys have a power of helping each other do nothing. But wiy what you will about the general uselessness of boys, a a farm without a boy would very soon come to grief.

He is always in demand. In the first place, he is to do all the errands, go to the store, postofflce, and carry all sorts of Messages. He wonld like to have as many legs as a wheel has spokes, and rotate iu abont the siune way. This ho sometimes tries to do, and people who have Been him turning ourt wheels along the side of the road have supposed he was amusing him-self and idliug his time. He was only trying to invent a new modo of locomotion, so that he could economize les, and do his errands with greater despatch.

Leapfrog is one of his methods of getting over the ground quickly. Ho has a natural genius for oombining pleasure with busiues-t. Charlet Dudley Warner. Notlos to Boot and Shoe Dealers.

The Coal Trade. The Shenaudoah Mining Her ald says half-time work closed with last week, "not that there is to be a precipitate resumption of coal mining, to continue until thecloseof the year.

No such picnic for the miners is contemplated but all of this week there will be work, then every alternate week, until the market takes all the coal produced, there will be three days suspension not every week, as heretofore since December last, but every other wock. For instance, is a month of four weeks there will be two weeks of full work and two weeks of half-time work until the summer days arrive, when the market will take more anthracite than can bo produced." The New York Mining Record says: The announcement that full production will lie thrown upon the market after April 1st, has onflrmed a great many consumers in their course of buying only for current requirements at present, and waiting to see whelhor prices can be maintained at present limits. Very little business of importance has been placed since harbor prices wore announced. But inquiry from all sources is increasing and a good many contracts, both for hard and soft coal will be placed in a few weeks. THE LAW IN HORSE TRADES.

The Pennsylvania Courts have decided that while yon mustn't lie abont It directly and opeuly, it is perfectly lawful to keep your mouth shut daring a horse trade, and while yoa must not warrant an animal al perfectly sound in wind, limb, ami condition, without ftiult, spot, mar or blemish, when you know that he bus a glass eye, goat neck, mange, saddle galls, roaoh back, ringbone, quarter crack, spavin, flat foot, wind galls, scratches, capped hock, stiff joint, blind staggers, oi-foot, rattnil, and aollow back, yet you are not compelled to call attention to these minor defects in the splendid Kentucky-bred animal yoa are trying to trade to the stranger for a spring wagon, set of harness, two-year-old colt and $75 cash. This is a wise and humane law, and lets tho deacon out of a great many tight places, where otherwise trade would be paralyzed, the arteries of commerce choked and stagnated by the nn-irise hand of oppressive laws, and panic, mistrust and depression would settle down upon a hopeless world in the ray less gloom of mistrust and suspicion.

It is a harder doty for a yonng man to accumulate and save his first $1,000 than hit next $10,000. A nun can be economical without being mean, aud it is on of hit most solemn duties to lay ap (affluent In his days of strength aud prosperity to provide for himself and those who are or may be dependent upon him in days of sickness or misfortune. Extravagance is one of the greatest evils of the present age.

It is undermining and overturning the loftiest and best principles that should be retained and held sacred in society. It is annually sending thousands of young men and young women to ruin and misfortune. Cultivate, then, sober and industrious habits acquire th art of patting a little aside every day and for your future necessities avoid all unnecessary and foolish expenditures. Spend yojir time only in such a manner as shall bring yon profit and enjoyment, and your money for such things yon actually need for your comfort and happiness, aud yoa will prosper in your lives, your business, and will win and retain the respect and honor of all worthy and substantial people.

He may, in the estimation of some people, be only a drummer he may be, at times, wild and reckloss and boiflterous bat he has a nature whose emotional operations are often as lelioate as those of a gentle woman a nature which responds kindly to the appealing tears of the distressed and is as chivalrous as the knightly riders of Old Provence.
