IMPORTANT TO ALL.
Tho discoverer and compounder ot the far-famed
Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry
and other valuablo preparations, entered upon his
professional career w Ith tho Imnortant advantage of
n regular medical education In ono ot tho oldest nnd
best schools in Philadelphia, and, perhaps, In the
world. Ho subsequently served n faithful termor
practice In the Philadelphia Dispensary, nnd for ma
nv years attended In tho Hospital. In these Institu
tions ho enjoyed tho most amplo opportunities of ob
taining an In'lght Into diseases In all their various
forms, as well as for ascertaining tho best methods
ot the! treatment. In otrcrlng, therefore, to tho peo
ple ot the United States tho frullHof his extensive
professional experlenco In tho medical compounds as
the best results of his skill and observation, ho feels
that ho Is but proffering a boon to every family
throughout the land, resting, as ho docs, confidently
In tho merits nndefllcallous virtue ot tho remedies
ho herewith commends. Tho vast amount 01 testi
mony from nil parts of tho world has proven "DOC

ciILIIItY" tho most enicaclous remedy known, nnd
It is admitted by our most eminent physlclnns, nnd
all who havo witnessed Its wonderful healing prop
erties. Tho WILD CHERRY In all ages of tho world
and In nil countries where It Is know n hns been Just
ly celcbrateo for Its wonderful medicinal qualities,
but Its great pott er to euro somo of tho tt orst and
most distressing diseases among us was never fully
ascertained until tho experiments ot that skllfull
physlclnn, Dr. swat ne, had demonstrated Its high
adaptation. In combination with Pine Tree Tar, and
other equally valuable vegetablo lugi edlcnls, which
chemically combined renders It action tenrold moro
certain and benellclal In curing all diseases ot tho
throat, breast and lungs. DR. SWAYNE'S WILD
CHERRY COMPOUND strikes at tho root of disease
by purifying tho blood, restoring tho llvpr and kld
ncj s to henlthv action, lut igoraltng tho nervous und
shattered constitution. It your druggist or store
keeper does not have it, do not bo put on" by any
other remedy that may be olTcred, but send to us d.
rcct.nnd wo ill forward a halt dozn to any address,
freight paid, on receipt ot the price, $1 per bottle, or
i tho halt dozen. Address letters to Dlt. SWAYNE

found iieccstary: unlike olheis, they neither gripe,
produce nausea, or any other unpleasant sensatlun,
tthllo they are as powerful as it Is possible foru
medicine to be and be hat mless. Theso Pills cleanse
out tho (llio&dcicd humors, enrich and puilfy the
blood, 1 emote all unhealthy bilious secrclluusot the
stomach and bowels, causing a perfectly beulthy

DUCHESS UOHOTHKA.
BY JUSTIN M'CAltTlIY.
"No, I don't care so much for staying in
Germany now," said my friend, Lynilsay
Houudell to me tho oilier day, as we Bat,
after ditiuer, tve two, alone, in tho window
of a littlo hotel overlooking the Thames.
We had not met for some years, and having
now chanced to meet in London, ho on re
turning from tho Italian port where ho had
been British Consul, nnd I haviugjust come
back from tho United States, we celebrated
our reunion by 11 quiet dinner together.
When wo used to meet more often, and we
tvero a littlo younger, tve were both passion
ate lovers of German literature, music, phil
osophy, fcenery and wines. Naturally,
therefore, wo had been talking of Germany.
"No," ho repeated, "I don't care much
about stnying in Germany any more. I al
ways hurry through. I know all about
United Germany and its greatness, and its
victories, and that sort of tiling, and it's
splendid, of course, I am glad of it, you
know, but it's a little liko a fellow who is
glad that some gin ho loved when he was a
boy had grown a grand lady and married an
earl. Delighted, of course, and all that but
she isn't our List-tie any more. I spent a
night or two in lierlin, lately, and went to
an evening party had to. It was given by
a friend, a modest professor. I tell yon thero
was .-is much show and aham,as much jewelry
and nulling silks, and bare shoulders and
footmen, and airs and tomfoolery as if it was
in Paris, under tho empire."
"I fear I fear that years aro telling on
vou, Ifouiidell. You uro becoming an old
fogy."
"I suppose 30, Hut these people uwl to
bo so simple, veot and homely ttlien I mod
ti visit Herl. n !ir.Jt. Tell you what, I n-i d
to like the little coitrh nf thntiny princ ss.
It's a Hhame, I xtipp'iie, but I u-xl In like
tht ni. Pay what jmi will, these littlo cmiris
hud a flavor of antique chivalry and 11!. I p.
limine al. 1. ul tin in."
"Had tliej '! I connVs I never could ce
.t, I thought tliem ridiculous littlo Inn;
hups."
"Well, anil you am right piiniigh, froi
tho point of tiew laken hy tho joiirn.ilist.aibl
tho prut tical politician. lint why doti'l yo-i
take a look at tliuni from the roniinei.i's
standpoint ?"
"Ilecnu'o I can't imnglno any rnmuiRv
clinging around such formal, dry ami duty
old pedantries. Did you ever hear of tlie
romance of a .Master of the Ceremonies?
Can vou Imagine Gold .Stick in Waiting, tho
hero of a thrilling love story ?"
Uoundell only sent 11 column of smoke up
orei his head into tho blue ether and was
silent. After a silence of n moment or two
ho said, "Did you see in the papers the
death of tho Grand Duchess of Llcbcs
helm ?"
"No, I didn't observe. The old Grand
Duchess 1"
"Oh, no, the young one tho wife of tho
Grand Duke I mean tho fellow who was
Grand Duko unt'l Ilismurck sponged him oil
tho slate.'1
"1 didn't see. Where did she die ?"
"In Florence. Sho was very young lo
die."
"Young to die yea. Hut sho was not
exactly n chicken, you know. Let ino sec.
When was it wo saw tier in Liebcsheim at
her marriage festival T In '02, wasn't it ?
Well, you sec, twenty years"
"Yes, yes, of coureo ; but I always think
of her as young. How beautiful she luokcd
then I"
'Slio did ; sho seemed a charming woman
I only saw her twite the day when her
husband brought her Into tho balcony to
bow to tho crowd, and -onco at the court hall,
for which some good-natured functionary
I forgot who It was kindly got mo a tick
et." "Sho is dead so soon," my friend repeat
ed, thoughtfully.
"lhey said her husband was a worthies
scamp," said I, for want of anything else or
better to say.
"They did ; I beliovo it was only too
true," replied Iloundcll, rather gloomily.
"She didn't caro about him, I supposed 1"
I naked.
'No. How could sho 1 Ho wain brute,
and tho marriago wai a m cro political ar
rangement." "I supposo theso royal or semi-royal mar
riages always arc."
He didn't answer directly. But he sent
up another pillar of smoke, and murmured,
"Dead I so yotininnd bo beautiful I"
"You grow qullo sentimental about tho
Grand Duchcs. Did you know her ?"
"I never saw her, as you havo said, for
twenty yeara."
"Then why aro you so greatly concerned
about her death?"
"Well, you see, her memory belongs to
tho old lime, when wo wcro young ; and I
can seo her face now beforo me, sad and
beautiful. I know sho was: very unhappy,
I remember hearing n story I don't know
whether it's worth telling, though."
"liy all means. Go ahead. I shall bo de
lighted to hear It."
SI said this because Rotindell spoko In that
half-eager nnd half-apologetic tono which
shows that a man wants tn tell you something
but is afraid that you will not caro to listen
to it.
"It isn't much. There was a fellow I
knew at the time wo were in Liebcsheim
an Knglish fellow. I don't think you knew
him. Ho was studying something or other
there, and ho liked to read in the mornings.
Ho used to get up with the lark and stroll
out into tho park. You remember the park
pretty, wasn't it ? And he found out a
quiet place ivhere hardly any people ever
went even in tho day, and ho used to read
there. I remember tho spot.cvery stono nnd
leaf of it ho showed it to mo and I used
to lounge there sometimes after he had gone.
It was a little bit of a clearing in rather a
thick part of tho wood, and thero was a lit
tle stream there. I used to spout Gcstho's
poem to tho Iiachlein there."
"You used to spout or tho fellow you are
telling me of?"
"Oh, I used to when he had gone, you
know. Perhaps he used to spout it, too : it
doesn't matter. There were a couplo of
statues there, a nymph and ft faun that
sort of a thing nil grown over with moss.
Well, sir, ono lovely summer morning, when
this fellow was reading thcre,dcc!aiming out
loud he had a great fashion of doing that
"So had you, I remember."
"Had I.really? Oh, no, I think not; any
how, ho had. Well, he waj declaiming
something from Schiller, when suddenly he
heard an unmistakable laugh a very pleas
ant, musical laugh and looking up he
siw "
"A girl, of course."
"Wrong for onco. He saw two girls."
"All the same. I knew wo should get to
some girl or girls beforo long."
"Nice girls,too,and very beautiful; quietly
dressed : citizens' daughters that sort of
a thing. Got into talk with this fellow.
Were as friendly and as sweet nnd modest
as dear little German girls only can be, or
used to be in thosi days. The fellow talked
a good deal too. They were interested in
England and his studies, nnd so on. One of
them had lovely eyes. Went away, of course.
Fellow went there next morning."
"They came again ?"
"WrongjSir. They didn't. Hewassorry.
Hut they camo the morning following."
' 0!i, confound it 1 that all coiiity to the
samo thing. They cameanyhow!"
"They did. Acquaintance grew and grew.
They would sit on the grass oud talk for an
hour at a time they three"
"Always three?"
''Always at first."
"Thought so."
"Liko a good fellow, let mo get on my
own way. Or you tell me the story, if you
know all about it."
'Well, I almost think I could. The regu
lar sort of a thing, I suppose the fellow you
knew fell in love with the girl who had tho
eyes, and for some reason or other, sho
couldn't marry him, nnd they were misera
ble, or she did marry him, and they were
happy. Can't be anything else. Did marry
ordidn t marry, thcic tho only difference
Houudell laughed rather a gloomy sort of a
laugh. "In this case it was didn't marry,"
he mid : "lint tte may as well go regularly

I felt bound to excuse myself hy saying Unit

forgiven if I spoke too ligmly of his ido
Koumlell went on : "It was thu queerest

The girls were pailicularly interested in Kng

I'liow what all. Tho poor fellow was con
foundedly happy. And.doyou know, I think
studious and poetical young fellows of
that ago aro wonderfully pure. This fell w
wasn't any better than any of tho rest of us,
hut by Jove! his love for her was as pure as
tho lovo of a woman,"
Uoundell paused In his story. Tho even
ing was depending down, tho skies were
purpling, and tho Thames was assuming a
sad and melancholy hue. The faint ripple
of the water was heard moro and more clear
ly. My frieud looked out of the window,
and seemed to enjoy the quiet beauty of the
scene.
"Well, but thorcstof tlioBtory.Iloundcll,"
I said.
"Tho rest of tho story? I don't know that
it isn't all over,"
"Oh, come now, thero must be a littlo
more."
"Yes, a littlo ; but I think it might have
been better, somehow, if it had ended
there." j
"Anyhow it didn't ; so go en."
"Well, tho fellow didn't nee cither of the
girls next day, or tho next. Hut tho third
day they camo ; ond Dorothea was very
sweet nnd melancholy, nnd tho other one,
Meta, was rather distant in manner, the fel
low thought, ond seemed frightened nomc
how. They didn't stay long ; Meta deemed
wild to get away, hut when they were going
Dorothea gave her hand to to tho fellow,
you know, and put into itn tiny scrap of pa
per." "Ah I"
"Yes, n tiny scrap of paper. It had a few
words on It. Of courso ho didn't read It
until ho was safe out of tho rango of every
body's eye. Then he read it. It only asked
him to meet her after dusk, in the old place,
that evening. Of course he went. He
walked n long time, wondering.ond in agony
lest somo confounded stroller should come
that way. The place was as freo and open
to anyono who pleased as that bank of the
Thames there, but It was just out of the reg
ular track of promenaders and loungers, and
thanks to tho routine tendencies of the hu
man mind, not a crcr.turo ever did como
there but tho poor fellow and these girls. So
ho waited for an hour, nnd at last sho came.
Sho was almost out nf brcnth.nnd frightened,
said she had great difficulty in getting away,
but she was resolved, como what would, to
seo him alone for tho last time?"
''For the last time V
"Those tvero her words, and her firm, sad
faco ahowed that she meant it. She told him
that Bho and her companion had been doing
a very loolisli thing, and running a terrible
risk, nnd that they trusted to his honor as an
English gentleman to help them out of their
tix by just keeping their secret, and forget
ting all about them. Sho was awfully in
earnest ; no affectation, no coquetry ; brave
and firm.but with the flash of a tear now and
then in her beautiful. eyes. She told the fel
low that she was tho cousin and companion
of the princess.who was to marry the young
Grand Duke of Llebesheim."
"Meta?"
"Meta, she told him, was the futureGrand
Duchess. Sho was brought to Liebeshcim
to marry tho Grand Duke. Sho was the
daughter of a mediatized prince, and put
under the care of ids hard and formal old
mother. Ot course Dorothea told the fellow
that tho princess could not lovo her future
husband. How could she? Every one
knew that he was a selfish young cub. Doro
thea's eyes filled with tears when sho spoke
of the miserable fate of her friend. 'I may
tell you,' she said to tho fellow, 'that she
loves one she will always remember and can
never seo again.'"
"Hut how about yourself ?"
"Yes, I am afraid that concerned tho fel
low a good deal more than the troubles of
the Grand Duchess that was to be. 'Dor
othea,' said tho fellow, you know, 'this must
not affect us; wo must not part; nothing
must separate us ; I lovo you,' and all that
kind of thing. He would have talked at
her like a madman, and he caught her hand
nnd kissed it, nnd begged her to be his wife,
although the poor devil God help him I
had a very small allowance to live on, nnd
was good for nothing, so far as money-making
goes, and ho was only twenty-two years
old ; but sho stood there firm and patient
and suffering. Ah, by Jove! I know sho
was ; it was her eyes, for for tho fellow told
tno so. Sho said : 'My friend, wo must not
see each oilier any more ever again. We
must part. You will not ask me why ; but
wo must part.' Then sho told tho fellow
that the young prince&3 and herself had
taken n freak of going out for morning
waits dressed like city girls, and they meant
no harm ; and that one day they heard tho
fellow declaiming from Schiller, and t' ey
listened, and they got into talk witli him,
and they rather liked tho fellow, and so you
know. Now the princess' marriage, and
there must ho no more cakes and ale 1 'Hut
you will not be sorry to learn,' said Doro
thea, 'that your friendship and our pleasant
talks sometimes gladdened tho poor princess
nnd that sho will remember you always as a

"Hut what hud all this to do with herself?"
I asked a little impatiently.
"That was just what tho fellow put to
her; but she said her fate was bound up
witli that of the princess, and she, too, hint

"l'oor fellow I what did he do?
"Do? He mooned tbout tho wood for an
hour or two, with his hands iu his pockets,
thinking ot nothing, iu an odd, dazed sort
of way. At last ho went home to his lodg'
ing, nnd I think that ho wished ho were a
woman for once,"
"Why that?"
"Dou't you see ? Hecause if he were a
woman he could havo a good cry and caso
his mind a little. Hut ho could only smoke,
and when tho fellows he knew mado jokes,
he had to try and make jokes too. He went
with them to the beer gardens and the dan
cing places, and I don't suppose that any of

"Hid he keep up visiting the old place In
the mornings?"
"He did; but she never came again. She
was gone. "
"Then did he never see her again?"
"Oh, yes; he Baw her once. It was on
the day of the Grand Duke's marriage. Ho
petted himself Ju tho crowd, poor fellow, to
ee the precession which passed through tho

newly-made wife round to show to his poo-
plc. Tho fellow thought, you know, that he
would bo suroto sec Dorothea somewhere in
tho court carriages, nnd ho longed to see her
again as much as if tho sight could do him
any possible good. There ho stood, and he
saw her."
Koundell brought his' clenchedlfist heavi
ly down on the tablo as he spoko.
"In ono of the court carriages of couse?"
"In tho carriage of tho Grand Duko,
and seated by his sido. Sho was now his
wife."
"Dorothea?"
"Dorothea herself." Koundell rose up
irora bis scat in the window, strode across tho
room, looked or affected to look at the clock
over tho chimney-piece, returned to tho ta
ble, stood thero a moment in silence, then
poured out a glass of claret and drank it.
"Yes," ho went on, "Dorothea was tho
Grand DucIicks. Meta was only the cousin
and companion. It was a pious fraud she
had tried to practice on tho poor fellow who
loved her and whom sho well, perhaps
might havo loved If he hadn'nt been a poor
dovil without family or fortune, and sho a
German princess "
"Did sho see him ?''
"No, sho was looking away when ho first
saw her, and then he drew out of the crowd.
Ho spared her that. Meta saw him, and
turned pale. She was in tho third or fourth
carriage. Ho mado her a formal bow as
many others did, and sho returned it. But
no saw by something in her eyo as she
glanced toward him that she knew the se
cret was safe. Then the fellow went home,
and he left Liebcsheim the next morn
ing."
I remembered how very suddenly Roun
dell himself had left Licbesheim that time,
and how he was not at tho court ball for
which I got the tickets, and where, as I havo
already said, I saw the Grand Duchess.
"What became of tho fellow ?"
"Oh, nothing in particular. He lives.
He promised to remember her, and I believe
he has kept his word."
"Did he ever marry ?"
''Oh, no; ho was not a marrying man,
nor particularly fond of woman's companv
1 believe lie never cared for auy but that
ono woman, and sho married a bruto of a
Grand Duke, and now she's dead, That's
all the story."
"I am glad to have heard of it," I an
swered, "although it's a sad story enough.
It's all the sadder to me Roundel), now, be
cause I find I know the fellow."
He looked at me with kindly eyes and
noodeu his head.
"Lifo has a good deal of that sort of thing,
I suppose," he -said, "if people only knew
it. The fellow wasn't" auy worso off than
many other follows. Hut I don't much care
about staying long iu Germany now."
birds and Lighthouses,
Tho Hartford Timet says : April and Oc
tober witness a great destruction of migra
ting birds that flying at night are dashed to
death against tho heavy plate glass lanterns
ol tho lighthouses on our Atlantic coast,
Well authenticated facts Beem to render it
probable that this destruction of bird life is
far greater than most persons havo supposed.
In April tho havoc is among returning birds,
along our northern coast from Capo May to
the shores of Maine. On tho southern coast,
and especially along tho shores of Florida,
the destruction is greatest among the south
ward llying birds in October. The number
and variety of these misguided night travel
ers is surprising. The keeper of the new
and lofty light on Anastasia island, at St.
Augustine, Fla., informed the writer that
there is scarcely any dark night in tho year
that does not witness the destruction of
numbers of birds that dash themselves
against the light, and that often tho number
found in tho morning ranges from twenty to
fifty. Ducks, however, are tho most nota
ble victims. These heavy birds are noted
for their velocity of flight. Tho keeper
found it impossible to protect the lantern
from tho shattering shock of their onset
and had to have an iron network erected
around the light. Even this fails to prevent
mischief, for the ducks strike the iron net
ting with such force as to break through It

Tan Management or the Finoeii
Nails. Tho correct management of tha
nails is to trim them to an oval shape to
correspond to tho contour of the fingers;
but caro should bo taken never to let them
grow so long as to bo consplcioiu, nor loo
short, as they would cause tho tips of the
fingers to becomo enlarged and flattened,
and give tho hand a very ugly appearance,
as is seen in the fingers of those who are
accustomed to nlbblo ot tho nails and keep
them almost below the flesh. The skin
which grows in a semi-circle ori the top of
tho nail requires much attention, for it Is
often drawn on with its growth, dragging
tho skin below the nail so tightly that it
divides into what aro termed agnails. Theso
can bo prevented by separating tho akin
from the nails with a blunt half-circular in
strument. Many persons cut this pellicle,
but this ahould never be done, as It cause
it to grow very thick and uneven, .and some
times damages tho growth of the nail, It is
also wrong to prick under, the nail with
sharp-pointed Instruments, like the point of
the scissors or penknife, for this injures
their appearance. Tho nails should be kept
perfectly clean, and scrubbed with a brush
not so stiff as to hurt the skin, and tho semi
circular flesh can bo pressed back with the
towel without touching the quick. If this
method is daily pursued it will keep them
in perfect order. If tho nails are badly
formed or Ill-shaped, the ridges should be
scraped and rubbed with a lemon and well
dried afterward ; yet If the nails are of a
very thin substance it would injure rather
than improvo them to do this.
"He Married her for her Money."
Married her for her money, did he ? Vly
did he not kill her outright, aud take it? In
deed,that is what a man who makes a match
with such motives would really, liko to do.
Ho wants the hard dollars, not .tho soft wo
man who owns them, and he hates her be
cause he has had to tako her also.
l'oor little heiresses, with such delightful
fortunes poor little widows, with a snug
sum settled on you by the husband who had
your comfort at heart, how much better that
ycu should be penniless women, sewing for
your living ut ten cents a shirt. Then,somo
strong, luting hand might gather you up to
a tender heart, and you might be very sure it
wusall for yourself all, ove-y bit of it.
Now, with so many fortuue-hunters afloat,
what are you going to do?
Married for money, was she? And that is
why her face is bo hard, and her eyes o
cold. She knows it, one can see.
Sho remembers tho kisses that w!re to
much cold "courting," and did not some
from the heart at all. The vow that was a
lie, when, instead of saying I take, this wo
man for better or for worse, be should have
stid, "I take this woman for her property."
She understood that long ago, no doubt
God help her I
Married for money and yet she was aa
sweet, as pretty then as many a girl who is
married for pure love a rosebud that might
hive been plucked to wear over a true heart.
What did the fortune-hunter caro for I ha tT
A man who woos a woman with mercenary
motives, is rather apt to hate her the mote
for being worthy of a better fate. And iu
any case, a man hates a woman who rever
ses the proper state of things, and "endows"
him with her "worldly goods." It is contrary
to the prayer book and contrary to nature.
"Up Salt Rivkr." The origin of tho
expression, "Up Salt River," as applied to
defeated political parties is as follows:
Davy Crockett, the famous Kentucky con
gressman, while a whig candidate, was
challenged by. his democratic opponent to
meet him on the stump in joint discussion.
Crockett accepted and the day and place
were fixed, but Crockett did not appear, and
the people thinking him nfraid to do bo, ral
lied for his opponent and elected him. It
afterward turned out that Crockett who had
started for the place in a canoe jtropellod by
a negro, had been landed in the forest at tho
head waters of Salt river, by his treacherous
guide who then paddled off down the stream.
Crockett was too good a hunter to starve in
tho wilderness, but he was totally unable to
teach the appointed place in time, and gave
it up, and with it his chance of election.
Hence the phrase "Up Salt River" mean
ing that a party U hopelessly defe.ited.
Crockett was, however, more lucky tnu
ver after, being elected by a handsorao
majority.
