HOMK TESTIMONY.
I was sorely aflllcted with one ot the most distres
sing of all alseabes. Pruritus or Prurigo, or more
commonly known as Itching Piles. The Itching at
times was almost Intolerable, Increased by scratch
lnif, and not untrequently became quite sore. I
bought a box of Swayne's Ointment ; Its use gavo
quick relief, and In a short time made a perfect cure.
I can now sleep undisturbed, and I would advlsu all
who aro suffering wlUi this distressing complaint to
procure Hwayne s Ointment at once. I had tried
pescrlptlons almost innumerable, without finding
any permanent relief,

the lint for Mattle had bounced into the
room, run to the hack of my chair, and
clapped her hands over my eyes, exclaiming:
"Oh, Dick, what a shame ! And you
promi-ed to come up and dress !"
'I do wi.-h you would not be so childish !"
I cried, snatching away her hands. "There
H a blot you've made on iny manu-cript."
Don t be so cross, sjr I" she said, laughinc;
as she gave a waltz round the room, making
her pretty silk dress whitk over one of tho
light chairs, which she merrily picked up,
ami then, coming to my writing table, she
took a rose out of a basket of flowers and
began to arrange it in her hair.
'I'm not cross," I said coldly, "but en
gaged in a serious work of a mercantile and
monetary nature. You seem to think men
ought always to bo butterllies."
"No, I don't Dick dear," she cried.
"There, will that do ?"
She held her head on one side for me to
see the creamy rose nestling in her crisp dark
hair; but, alter a glance at it, I let my eyes
fall upon my desk, and went on writing my
pamphlet. I saw that she was looking wist
fully at me, but I paid no heed and she then
came and rested her hands upon my should
ers.
"Are you cros with me, Dick ?" she said
softly.
'Cross ? uo !" I jerked out impatiently.
"Only I thought I had married a woman
uid she. has turned out lo he a child."
There was silence then for a few minutes,
only broken by tho scratching of my pen.
The little hands twitched a little as they lay
upon my shoulder, and I very nearly wiole
down, instead of "The calculations arrived
at by tho projectors of tontines"
'Ilichard Marlow, how can you ho such a
disagreeable wretch ?" Hut of course I did
not write it only thought and then I felt
wonderfully disposed to turn round, snatch
tho little graceful figure to my breast and
ki-s away the tears that I knew were gath
ering in her eyes.
Somehow or anotljcr though I did not do
it only went on glumly writing for I was
cross, worried and annoyed. I bad set my
self a task that necessitated constant appli
cation, and I was not getting on as I could
wish; so, liko many more weak-minded in
dividuals of tho male sex, instead of asking
for the comfort and advice of my wife, I vis
ited my disappointment upon the first weak
object at hand, and that object was the lady
in question,
"l'lease, Dick dear, don't bo angry with
me. l can t Help leeling very young ami
childish, though I am your wife, I do try,
oh ! so hard to bo womanly j but, Dick dear,
I'm only eighteen and a half."
"Thirteen and a half, I should say," I
said, scornfully, just as if somo sour spirit
were urging me on to say biting, sarcastic
things that I knew would pain tho poor girl;
but for tho life of me I could not help it.
I hero was no answer only a little sigh
and the bauds wero withdrawn.
I went on writing rubbish that I knew I
should have to cancel.
"Had you not better get ready, Dick ?"
said Mnttio soltly. "You said you would
como when I went up stairsand the WiUons
won't liko it If wo aro late."
"Hang the Wilsons ,'" I growled.
There was another pcuso filled up by the
scratch, scratch of the noisiest pens I ever
used, and another little sigh.
Mattic was standing closo behind mo but
I Uid not look round, and at last sho gently
glided to a chair and sat down,
"What are you going to do,"IsaId roughly.
"Only to wait for you, Dick dear," she re
plied. "ou need not wait. Go on. I shan't
come, bay I've, a tieadacno 6ay any.
thing."
"Dick, are you unwell?" she said tender
ly as sho came behind me once more, and
rested lie; little hand on my shouldir.
"Yes no. I'ray, don't bother I Go
on. I'erhaps I'll como and fetch you."
There was another pause.
"Dick, dear, I'd rather not go without
you," sho said meekly, at last.
"And I'd rather you did go without me,"
I said angrily. "Tho WiUous are our best
friends aud I won't havo them slighted."
"Then why not come, Dick dear?" said
the little woman, and I could see that she
was. struggling to keep down her tears.
"Hecauso I've no time for such frivolity,
Thero you've nastcd enough of wy time a!

change my things, nnd accompany my little
wilo to the pleaant social Catherine a fe.w
doois lower down our road.
She had been looking forward to the visit
as a treat. So had I till that gloomy fit
came over me ; hut as I had taken the steps
already made, I felt thnt I could not retreat
without looking foolish ; so I acted with that
uunl wNdom displayed by man under such
circumstances, ami made matters worse.
'Did you hear mc say that I wished you
to go alone?" I said angrily.
"es, yes, Dick dear.I'll go, If you wish,"
Mattln s ild very meekly ; "but Indeed I'd
fur rather star at home "
"Yon nre desire to go; you havo a rose

poor satire, when it was put there to please
me I "and they expect you ; so now go
attd enjoy yourself," I added, by way of a
ting tn my sensihlo speech,
"T can't enjoy myself, Dick,'" she said.
gently, "unless yon come too. Let mo

"1 desire you to go I" I exclaimed, bang
ing my hand down on the desk.
She looked at me with tho great tears
standing in iter piteous (yes, nnd thru, com
ing nearer, she bent over mo and kissed my
f irohend.
"Will you come nnd fetch me, Dick?" she
said softly.
"Yes-no perhaps I don't know," I
said roughly, as I repelled her caresses ; and
then, looking wNtfully nt me.slie went slow
ly to the door, glided ut and was gone.
That broke the spell, and-1 started from
my seat, hut more angry than ever. I was
wroth with her now for obeying me so meek
ly, and I gently opentd the door, to hear her
call the maid and tell her to accompany her
as far as the Wilsons'.
Then 1 heard them go heard the girl re
turn, the donr close, and I was alone.
Alone? Well, not exactly, for, so to speak,
I was having an interview .with my angry
self, .Is I felt that I was, asking how I could
let a feeling of annoyanco act upon my bet
ter nature and make me behave as I had tn
tho sweet little girlish being who during the
six months we had been married, bad never
looked at me but with the eyes of love.
"Change your things and go after her,"
something seemed to say j but I repelled it,
threw my writing aside, kicked oil' my boots
snatched my slippers out of the sideboard,
thrust tho easy. chair in front of the cosy
fire, threw myself into it, and then with my
feet on the fender, and my hands in my
pockets I sat, morose, hitter and uncom
fortable, gazing at the glowing embers.
"She had no business to go 1" I exclaim
ed, "rihe knew I was up all last night,,
writing that abominable book, and was out
of sorts, and ought to havo stayed."
Then I reviewed the past half hour, and
grew calmer as I leaned hack, knowing as I
did, and well, that I had forced her to go,"
poor child, and how miserable sho would
be.
"She'll forget it amongst all those people,"
1 said bitterly j but I did not believe it, and
at last 1 sat thero calling myself ass, idiot,
blind, madman, to plant, as I had, tho first
seeds ol what might grow into a very upas
tree of dis-ensinn, and blight the whole of
our married Ie.
Posr little darling!" I said at last ; "I'll
wait up till sho comes home, and then tell
her how sorry I am for my folly.and ask her
forgiveness."
Hut as a man, can I do that " I said-
"Will it not bo weak?"
"Never mind," I exclaimed, "I'll do it!
urely, there can he no braver thing to do
than own one's self in tho wrong. Life's
too short to blur it with petty quarrels. And
suppose she were taken ill to-night my dar
ling, whom I love with all my heart ? Or
suppose sho went too near the fire nnd her
dress caught alight ? There, how absurd !
Tkank goodness, she is in silk, aud not in
one of thoso fly-away muslins I"
I sat on, musing and musing till suddenly
there was a buzz outsido of the house, then
a rush of feet. I fancied I heard tho word
"Fire!" repeated again aud again, and turn
ing to the window, there was a glow which
lighted up the whole place.
I dashed down stairs and nut of tho door,
to find the road thronged, for a house a lit
tle lower down was in Haines, and, to my
horror, I had not taken a dozen steps before
I found that it was nt our friends' the WIl-
sons.
There was no etigine, but a crowd of ex
cited people, talking eagerly; and just then
the fire escape came trundling along the
road.
It was quite tiinc.for tho house as I reach
ed it was blazing furiously, the flames dart-
ting out in long fiery tongues from half tho
upper windows, while at several thero were
people crying piteously for help.
I fought my way through tho crowd, and
tried to run up to tho house, but half a
dozen officious people held ino back, while
the men with tho fire-escape tried to rear
it agalusl the houo; but it would not reach
because of tho garden in front, so that they
liad to get the wheels of the escape over tho
iron railings, and this caused great delay.
Let n,o go!" I panted to those who held
me. Let mo go ! borne one somo oue la
tho house."
You can't do any good, sir," said a po
liceman roughly, "Tho escape-men will do
all they can."
liut I struggled frantically, and cot loose.
feeling all tho while a horrible, despairing
sensation, as I knew that my poor darling
was one of the shrieking suppliants for help
at the upper windows, and that but for my
louy i miguc nave saved her.
As I freed myself from those who held
me, and ran to tho escape, it was to Bud that
tho man who had ascended it had just been
beaten' back by"ttie flames.
"It s no use," he said: "we must trv the

He was about to drag tho machine away,
when I heard my name called. "Dlckl
Dick I" In piteous tones; and as I was once
more seized, I shook myself free, rushed up
tho ladder, Villi tho flames scorching and
burning my face, and, panting and breath,
less, I reached a window where .Mattle stood
stretching out her hands,
I got astride of tho sill, the flames being
wafted away from me, and threw iny arm
round her j but as I did s tho ladder gavo
way, burned through by tho flamea that
gushed furiously from the lower window,
and I felt that I must elthcrjumji.ortry aud

COLUMBIA DKMOCHAT, VOL.XH1, NO. 10
Thero was no time for thinking ; so I
climbed In, lifted Maltin in my arms, feel
ing her dress crumble in my hands as I
touched her, nnd the horrible odor of burnt
hair roso in my nostrlU, and saw her wild
and blackened face turned to mine.
'Dick, Dick I" sho gasped, "save me I"
and then she fainted.
Fortunately I was as much at home In the
hou.'o as In tny own, and making for the
stalrc.no through the tlatno nnd smoke, I
reached it in safety; but below mo was what
seemed to bo a fiercely blazing furnace
I recoiled for a moment, but it was my
only hope, and I recalled that the lower
floor was as yet untouched by the fire; It
was tho one beneath mo that was blaztng so
furiously.,
So, getting a good tight grip of my treas
ure, I rushed down the burning stairs, feel
ing them crackle and give way as I bounded
from one to the other.
It was a fiery ordeal ; but in a few sec
onds I was below the flames, and reached
it, and fell.
If I could but open it, I knew wo were
saved. Hut I was exhausted, and the hot
air c.iught mo by tho throat and scorned to
strangle me. I raised my hand to tho lock,
but it fell bAck. I beat feebly at tho door,
but there was only the roar of flames' to an
swer mo; and as I made ono more supreme
cllort, panting and struggling to reach the
fastening, I was, as it wero, dragged hack-
by the weight of the burden I still clasped
to my breast.
It was more than human endurance could
dc.u, and I felt that tho end was near; aud,
to mako my sufferings moro poignant, Mat
tie seemed to revive, struggling with me
tor her life, as she kept repeating my name,
aud clung to me, till
"Dick dear Dick! wake'; pray, wake!
Are you ill ?"
I started up, to find llattie clinging to
me, and clasping her tightly to my heart, a
great sob burst from my breast as I kissed
her passionately again nnd again, hardly
able to believe my senses.
"Oil, Dick," she panted, "you did fright
en me so I I couldn't stay to supper at the
Wilsons,' dear ; fori could do nothing but
think about your sitting here, alone, and
crosi with me. So wj so, I was so mis
erable, Dick, and I slipped away and came
home, to find you lying back here, panting
and struggling; jou wouldn't wake when I
bhook you. Were you ill ?"
"Oh no ; not at all," I said, as I kissed
her again and again, feeling now for the first
time sensible of a smart pain in one foot.
"You've burnt yourself too, Dick; look
at your foot.
It was quite true: the toe of one slipper
must have been in contact with the fire; and
it was burned completely off.
"Hut, Dick dear Dick," she whispered,
nestling close to me, "aro you very, very an
gry with your little wife for beiug such a
girl ?"
I could not answer, only thank God that
my weak fit of folly was past, as I clasped
her closer and closer yet.
.uauie, i wuispereu at last, in a very
husky voice, "can you forgive mo for being
so weak?"
I could say no more for the hindrance of
two soft lips placed upon mine; and while
they rested thero I made a vow I hope 1
shall have strength to keep; for real trou
bles are so many it is folly to invent the
false.
At last, when I was free, I took the rose
from where it nestled in her hair, and
placed it in my pocket book; while, in an
swer to the inquiring eyes that wero bent on
mine, I merely said
"For a memento of a dreadful dream,"
Hy the way, I never finished that pamph
let. A Iiussian Romance.
It has often been said that the inventions
of the liveliest imagination of romance
writers aro always surpassed by the reality.
The following is a new and curious proof of
thissaying. An olRcer of the engineer corps,
wlio lias jmt arrived hero (Odessa) from
Kicheneli', the headquarters of the Russian
my of the south, relates in his own lnn-
nge this curious little history :
Thero is nothing talked of down there at
Kicbeneffbut of a most romantic incident.
Two years ago, nt n masked ball in St.
Petersburg, a black domino accosted Prince
D , an officer of the Atamiuski regiment
of Cossacks, in theso terms : "I love you,
Prince, will you love me?" "Why not?
Hut, first, I should like to see what that
sombre domino covers." "Not so fast ; con
sent at first to answer my question." "What
lovo you without knowing whether you are
pretty or ugly, young or old?" "Yes I"
Prince I), broke out into n loud laueh.
which was not Tery proper, as he himself
confessed, and, between two peals of laugh
ter, he replied : "Well, yes, I will love you;
win you lay aside that rac now?" Ho
sought to unmask the unknown, but sho re
coiled, saying, "Now lew than ever; I.have
your promise ; I retire, and In two years, you
will seo me." "Two years ?" "Yw, In two
years I will be your wife." "My wife in two
yearn?" "Certainly." "Am I affianced
then ? Is it to a demon or an angel?" And
he broke out into a new laugh, for he took
tno adventure for a joke. The unknown
answered; "lo a woman whoHavea von

rnnco i exclaimed, "Alas! wbv

by that time. Two years 1 two centuries!"
"Yes, two years, durinc which vou will

"At least, I Bhall see you, I shall know who

lie set out. At Kicheneff ho was Introdu
ced to the Princess K , a young lady of
eighteen, a beauty, a pearl, a masterpiece of
nature, recently nrrlved from St. Petersburg.
After somo days ho remarked that tho young
Princess did not look upon him with indiffer
ence. Their intimacy increased. Ono fine
evening, or one fine morning, she said lo
him, "Prince I love you ; lam rich; marry
me." The unfortunate Prince wasionfound-
cd ; then summing up his courage ho frank
ly told her his situation.
"Oh I" exclaimed the Princes? ; "I know
her very well ; she Is an intriguante ; she
does not lovo you." "iou must deceive
yourself, n person cannot write as sho does
to mo without loving." "I assure you she
Is merely acting. You do not know her, or
raflicr you know her face, but not her heart.
I am the very opposite, a heart like mine
cannot assume a part it does not feel." The
little Princess made no impression ; several
times she returned to the nttack, but always
in vain.
At last, the two years expired on tho 12th
of February. The 10th Prince D re
ceived tho following telegram :
To-morrow evening I will bo at Kicho
neif ; the day after you will seo me and I
will bo your wife when you please. Tho
sooner the better. Tim Uxkxow.v.
It was thus that she had signed her letters
to that date. On the 12th Prince D
was requested to repair at noon to a property
in the environs of the town, which was In
dicated to him. He "flew thither. He was
introduced in a If rge saloon, where he wait
ed five mortal minutes. She appeared at
last "Here I am ?" she said. "Heaven 1
the Princess K !" It was, in fact, she.
She bad left St. Petersburg at the same time
with tho Prince, and hail fixed herself at
Kicbcneff, whence she sent to a confidauto
the letters which the lover was to continue to
receive from the capital. Thanks lo this
subterfuge, she had been able to have herself
presented to the Prince, and lo easily play
a double part. As to the denouement, you
can divivino It. The Princess IC on
the morrow became the wife of Prince
D . It was the llllh, and the friends
wished to postpone it to the 14th. "Not aU
all," said tho Princess. "It is two years that "
we have been waiting for the thirteenth."
The GrandDuko could not assist'at the wed
ding ceremony, but he sent rich presents to
the bridal pair. I assuro you that this
moment at Kicheneff they busy themselves
but little about the Turks or Christians; the
whole talk is only of the Prince and Princess

Uncle Ned is a character, a genius, a phil

to everything certain, he is occasionally sur
prised into an acknowledgment of tho merits
of something brought to bis notice. It may
be nothing more than the cut of a garment
the speed of a hor.se,the architectural beauty
of a building, or the quality or size of some
specimen of vegetable production, but he
immediately qualifies his remarks with. 'Oh,
it does very well for these regions-it wouldn't
be much in California, though."
We luid some very large cherries on our
table one day last summer. After surveying
them for a moment, Uncle Ned remarked
that they beat anything he ever saw and
there was a short pause 'that is to say around
here.
"Uncle Ned, said I, "you never saw a
cherry In California larger than those."
"Well, perhaps I didn't."
"Why," said I, "how large are they in
California, and how do they sell them?"
"Well," be replied, with all tho gravity of
judge, "that depends something, of course.
upon the season of the year. They vary in
ize as well as in price. They sell them by

tuey only charge you twenty-five cents a

they'll let you have it for about fifteen cents
a pound."

when the staging gave way, and ho had a
fall of about fifteen feet. He was senseless

him to. Mr. Gardner thus explained mat

"Why didn't I fall? Why. sab. I was
