Simmons Liver Regulator, and wish to give it a
further trial.
"Tlio only Thing that never falls to

have found anything to benefit me to the extent
Simmons Liver Regulator has. I sent from Min.

such a medicine, and would advise all who are slm.

OIIAI'THIt I.
It wtw ill tlio year 1870 that Itussian
society, from tho Iniioiinl Court to tlio
lowliest peasant, was thrown into n
Btnto of nhrm and horror nt iho out
rages pci jictratetl by tho Nihilists.
liiii'tro blocks ot ico wero ucnifi re
moved from tho Neva, as tho cold sea
son had begun to break.
bnow in tho most reiriilar and beau
tiful crystals fell gently on tho gar
ments of tlio pedestrians, nml upon a
handsome sledio which was convoying
two ladies to tho Uuynl Theatre at St.
Petersburg.
A few minutes' drivo nnd they arriv
ed at their destination.
They were both English, and wore
stars in their profession.
Mllo OliraIarchinotit camo tripping
off Iho stage into tlio green room to
look lor her irieml, ami, as suo entered,
all eyes were turned toward her in ad
miration; and well they might, for she
was a fair picture to behold, and was
quickly sin rounded by tho crowd, of
nobles and couttiers that usually haunt
ed tho theatre.
Her talk was liko herself: she was
the flue lady of old comedy, on and oil
tlio, board", wittj, brilliant anil B,uper
ficial. At tho other' end of tho rodni sat her
friend, Mile. Evelyn Chatteris, nnd she
presented a striking contrast to mo
radiant Ulga.
Sho was about IS, with large, wist
ful, hazel eyes, with a beautiful mouth.
she was nttired in a simple umo stun
dress, unauorneu, excepi ior two uuui-
. . 1 . r . l
ry colored bows in her mob cap, and
kerchief of clear muslin, which covered
but did not conceal tho dazzling white
ness of her neck and shoulders.
Hv her side was a crave, but hand
some Russian noble, l'rince Saltakoft", a
powerful and leadui'i member ot the
government, and a great favorite of tho
emperors
A lovely blush sultused JiA'dyn s lace,
that made her for the moment even
more beautiful than Olga Marchmont,
her stage rival, and dearest friend in
real lifo.
"I have not seen you for two days,
mademoiselle," said the prince; "this
trial of tho Nihilists is a weary one,
and a sad one, too.''
'Must they dio ! and Her sweet eyes
looked earnestly up to his. "It seems
very pitiful," she said, sorrowfully.
".No. mademoiselle, ' no replied, "tney
will not all bo condemned to death;
some of them will be banisned to Si
beria."
"It seems very dreadful, very pitiful;
and some are ladies, I hear?
"All the more reason that they should
bo crushed and exterminated at any
cost or sacrifice, for dragging such into
their murderous schemes.'
Perhaps you arc right, she answer
ed, with tho trust ot a woman who
loves, "and vet
"And yet you think wo nussians
very cruel. What will you say when I
tell'vou that one of tho prisoners is my
own nephew, nnd I am compelled to
sit in judgment on my kinsman, and
condemn him as a traitor. Hut justice
is iustice, and law is law.
Tho tears stood in her eyes as sno
answered:
"I see now. Oh, von aro noble
nobler than "
At this moment sho was called to ap'
pear on tho stage, and Prince Saltakoff
was lett alone to meditate.
lie had enough to ponder over, for
ho had resolved to do what scarcely
anv man of his rank and position would
have dreamed of namely, to make this
actress Ins wife, if sho would havo him.
Sho was better, nobler, lovelier in Ins
eves t nan anv woman no nan ever
known; sho had been gently born and
bred, anil ho knew lier to Do as pure as
any snow-flake, despite of her life; and
ueintr an ornuan, wnn no limmuic
friend oxcent Mllo. Marchmont, with
whom she lived, sho appealed to him in
her utter loneliness lor lovo and pro
tection.
"Do voii act to-morrow T ho asked
Evelvn. as sho and hor friend ynsed
through tho greenroom on ineir way to
. . . t .
their sledge.
Olga answered for her:
"Of course sho does; Hoso to my Sil
via. will vour nignnoss sup wun uiu
after? Lord Castlcton is coining, and
Madamo Hopree.
Ho assented courteously, nut inero
was a cloud on his face. Ho liked and
believed in Mile. Olna, but ho did not
caro to think of his Evelyn associating
with a woman like Madame isopree.
" es. she was Ins hvulyu in hi9
thoughts already. Ho would havo been
less than man had he tailed to rent
ariuht tho timid, yet trusting look o
tho girl's eyes, as with n low, graceful
couitesv sho bade him "good-nigtii,
and followed her friend.
A visitor was awaiting their arrival
Mile. Marchmont gasped, ami stared at
nm with wild distended eyes,
Ho was but a youth of 19, his face
was handsome, his manners pousni'd
but his oyes were red and swollen with
weeping, and his yoieo onokoii win
sob as ho said:
"Oh. mademoiselle, all nope is gone;
tho Emperor will not listen to prayers
or Hunnlioations. ho is doomed to die
av Door Marvyni my poor uroiuer.
Thero was a noiso as oi some onu ai
riving.
"lluslil 1 must go, my poor, pou

keep my woman's wit by some mentis.1'

It was a very gay supper, burgundy
and champagne (lowed freely, nnd after
tlio repast tho party played cards.
Tho fair hostess staked high, oareing
lltllo whether shu lost or won, bit tor
tunc savored her, nnd when tlio gamo
was over, and tho guents departed, shu
stood luiiniiiL' her lingers throuuh a
heap of gold which would havo inado
many a gambler feel envious.
"What shall I do with tho trumporyT
sho said with a hnrd laugh; "I havo
moro than I require already. Shall I
buy you a suite of jewels, Evelyn 1" w
said, as she passed her arm round her
lricnd s waist.
No, dear Olga, I want nothing from
you but your friendship, and that 1
prizo beyond any gow gows.
Olga leaned her head against tho
girl's innocent cheek, but did not ans
wer except to say:
"J.ets no up stairs, hvn, wo will lie
each other's maids to-night, for I halo
Mario's prying eyes."
Olga tossed her tresses back im
patiently, and pouring out some fresh
water, cleaned her laco iroin its stage
paint, which, oil tho boards, was a dis
figurement rather than a grace, for her
skin was soft and clear as alabaster.
Hut when this uiuht sho turned, after
having laved her face, to Evelyn, tho
girl was fairly frightened.
"Uh, my dear Ulga, what is tho mat
ter with youf Aro you sick! "ion look
to-ribly ill 1"
There was hardly a trace left of tho
brilliant nctrcss who had enchained
hundroils a few hours before by her
igio spells, fascinations and beauty,
the wan, white woman who had
faced her friend with a ghastly expres
sion of agony depicted on her haggard
countenance.
"Not ill,'1 sho answered, "only mad
only tho most wretched woman in
the world 1"
"What is it, dcarf Can't vou eonlido
in mo? Oh, Olga, vou frightened mo!'
"Yes. I will tell vou.1' and a ouick
gleam of wild hopo lit tin her pale face.
V on can help me, Jtiva.
"II How?"
"I will tell you. It is a lifo I am ask
ng lor lor my hearts happiness, lor
all that makes lifo worth living to mo."
She spoke eagerly and fiercely.
"What do you meant" cried Evelyn.
Explain all to mo at once."
1 will. Do you remember jlervyn,
tho Earl of Montrose's son ?"
"Yes," Evelyn replied in a tone of
great agitation, "of course 1 do.
"Ho is ono of tho suspected .Nihilists,
nd is awaiting the sentence of the Em
peror.'
"flow (lroadiul, Evelyn remarked.
"IIo is my husband, lam his wedded
wife. Wo wore married secretly for
fear of his father's anger, just before I
accepted this engagement with you in
Russia.
IIo followed mo out here, and then,
through being found in the company of
these rush men, ho was implicated m

speeches and smile back to them, while

And ho is to dio, they sav to dio! Oh,
it eau't bo true! it can't bo true!"
Evelyn placed her arms round her,
and let her sob at her will.
"His brother came to-night," said
01a, "ho is tho only ono who knows

poor boy, for he loves Mervyn, as all

there is no hopo exempt through tho

but who refuses to exercise it in the

"Prince SaltakolT I" Evelyn exclaim
ed.
"Yes: now you can guess what

friend's hands as in a vise. "Tho Prince
is madly in love with you, ho would do
for you what he would rofuso any one
else. Ask nun. Oh, dear Jiva, you will
not deny tuo this praver!"
"Olga, and tho boautitul girls laco
crimsoned, "indeed I havo no influence

Sho moved impatiently.

as well as I that tho man is at your feet.

edly, "ho will think I am in lovo with

Evelyn was silent as Olga continued:
"I would not ask this of you, dear, if
I thought you caied for him, or if it
wore possible that his intentions wcro
to woo you as a wife."
SU'clyn turned away wearily.
"I cannot answer you to-night," sho
said, slowly; "I will to-morrow.'1
All Olgas entreaties failed to movo
her, and she went sadly to her own
room and tried to sleep, but could not.
'Olga must bo right," tho poor child
thought, as sho lay awake, trying to
still tho bitter pain of tho thought that
tlio pure, high uipitlod gentleman she
had always esteemed him had only been
amusing himselt, and perhaps h id tan
cied that she would havo consented at
last to beooino even his mistress.
Thu big tears strayed heavily down
her face, wetting her pillow, as she
thought how she loved him, aud wond
cred.if.ho would believe sho was in lovo
with Mervyn Montrose.
Her task wns a hard ono to perforin.
Hut thnro arose before her tho vision
of tho horribo drama of a felon's death,
of Olga s face, as sno had seen it to
night, ghastly and gray with grief. If
sho wuro'ablo to prevent this, she must
do il, at what oos,t to horselt matured

Ho handed her into tlio sledge, and
as ho did so, felt her hand sake.
"You nro faint," ho said, as they en
tered tho hotel; "you must have soma
wine."
"No, thank you," sho returned, "I
prefer a cup of coffee; it will do my
hoadacho good. Will you join me, or
havo some wino youiself ?"
Of course ho declared in favor of cof
fee. Tho time was very sweet to him; to
Evelyn it was painful, for sho was try
ing to find words in which sho coidd
best ask for Mervyn Montrose's life.
Sho loaned back on her couch, look
ing very pale in her soft colorless dress
of delicate lace, with only a cluster of
carnations fastened in her bosom.
" our highness," she ventured to nr
tioulate, "I havo a favor to nsk of you."
"A favor t" his eyes lit up; "how can
I serve you V
"I'm afraid to nsk you I'm asham
ed." "My child, you can have no cause for
shatno or fear, surely. If I can serve
you
let me. I am at your service.'
"What I would beg " she hesitated,
and then spoke with a nervous impetu-
osity as fearing her courage might fail
ner. "it is a lite, your highness, that
I ask tho life of a friend 1 Oh, if you
can savo him, say you will."
"Whose life, Evelyn Chatteris?''
"Ono ot the so called Nihilists, Mer

A hot blush overspread her faco as
sho spoke.
Iho prince road it wrongly, and, rc-
membenng the young and handsomo
prisoner, ho thought ho understood all.
"fits lite is dear to you T ho said, m
a trembling voice.

Sho did not answer, but her eves fell
bofore his steady gaze.
iio ascribed it to modesty, aud ho
forced back the thought of himself and
only remembered her.

no right to ask that question, except
that of a friend a truo ono. Relieve
me, Mile. Ch.uteris, I thank you for

lie was grave and reserved enough
now. His keen sense of honor showed
him that if ho was to help her no sign
of his own love must escape him, so his
best security lay in formality and cold
ness.
"You will save him?" sho pleaded.
"Ho is so young to die, and ho meant
no harm
And ho never thought how beautiful
she was till now sho was lost to him.
"God knows," ho said; "it isha.d to

She held out her hand iu answer; sho

And a sudden temptation seized the
prince as he thought :
"This treasure might bo mine oven
yet, and he banished to Siberia ; only
ono word in tlio Czar's ear and he
would never cross her path again in
life."
Hut tho next minute tho traitorous
thought was cast from his heart by
uiu luuoceiii, iook oi nopo aim coiin
denco that betrayed itself in every
look and gesture of the beautiful uid
who sat by his side.
A cold perspiration stood unon his
brow as ho contemplated tho great
temptation that had assailed him,
when slic put up her little hand in his,
and looking up into his face, as an
adoring worshipper might into that of
a saint's, said :
"How can I ever thank or ronav
you for your unselfish, devoted kind
ness to me i How 1 wish that my poor
words could convey to you, or that

"Forbear, Evelyn ; you know not
how you torture me," ho exclaimed ve
hemently.
v urlher conversation ceased, for tho
eqtnpago had now entered ono of the
courtways of thejialace.
Evelyn was conscious of be
ing hur
riedly
led through corceous anart-
ments,
from ante-room to ante room,
where she was requested by the tirince
to stay until ho joined her.
A pertutned warmth permeated the
atmosphere, and Lively n was inst in
tho act of dipping her handkerchief
into the fountain to cool her fevered
brow, when Piince SaltakolT entered,
accompanied by two wages of honor.
and sho was requested to attend the
imperial presence.
oummoning an ner courage, sue
passed on at last with a linn and dig-
nilied bearing into tho urescnco of his
linperial majesty Alexander II.
Prince Saltakoff led her to a dias
where the Czar sat, looking anything
hut tho proud aristocrat that so many
people erroneously stvled him.
She saw a benign, intellectual, kind
featured man, with a sympathetic and
fatherly expression on his noble coun
tenance, as his eyes fell upon the lovo
ly girl, and he saw the look of deep
anxiety and pain depicted on everj
lineament of her face.
Sho would havo knelt at his feet,
but he would not permit her, but seat
ed her himself on a divan, saying :
"Aud so you havo come to plead
for the lifo of Mervyn Montroso ; and
no English woman shall ask a favor
at our hands in vain, f Jeside, it has
come to our ears within tho last hour
that ho was not so implicated as we

Sho caught tho Czar's hand in hers,
and kissed it tenderly and fervently,
saying:
"1 am indeed grateful, your maiestv.
nnd shall pray for you night and "
Jnt her lurther utterance was stop
ped by her fast-falling tears.
iho pent-up excitement proved too
much, nnd sho would have fallen at
tho Emperor's feet, but for tho strong
arm of tlio prince, who led her from
the apartment in a faint and exhausted
condition.
They were soon back at tho hotel,
and Evelyn ran, rather than walked,
up tho broad flights of stairs and burst
into the apartment of hor friend cry
ing :
"Saved ! saved !" and they flew into
each other's arms and shed tears of iov
and laughed by turns.
"And so you saw tho Czar?" she
said a little more calmlv, "and ho

Just before tho birth of their child
Mervyn broko the news of his majriago
to tlio carl, who put tho best faco on it
under tho circumstances, ns ho said
grumblingly:
"It is not tho first scion of a noblo
house that has made a fool ol himself
over an actress ; nor, I suppose, will bo
the last."
Evelyn was married to Prince Salta
koff at "the chapel of tho English em
bassy, and received on tho weddingday,
a magnificent paruro of diamonds nnd
rubies, tho bridal gift of the emperor.
One condition was imposed by his
majesty, nnd that was that six months
of that year were to bo epent by tho
priuco nnd princess in Russia.
As years rolled on, and the wedded
happiness or tho Montroscs deepened
with time, Evelyn, herself ahappy wifo
and mother, never regretted the part
she played of tho stago in tho little
comedy, "For Pity's Sake."
A Glance at Some of the Law-Makers
at Harrisburg.
The correspondent of the Sunday
Scranton Jtepublican gravely aflirms
that the house of representatives is a
body peculiar to itself, i venturo to
say that, if that staid nnd dignified
body, tho senate, was transplanted in
tho house, iu a week tho grave nnd
reverend boys of tho higher branch
would bo just as hoydenish aud full of
mischief ns tho biggest infant in tho
house. It's catchin. Hut thoy aro
not all kittenish and frolicsome. A
few of them arc very dignified. Tako
J. McDowell Sharpe, of Franklin, for
instance. He is very dignified. When
J. McDowell arises and looks wise at
tho speaker and sideways at the Re
publicans on tho other side of tho
house, it is two to one'that some vig
orous fuiglish is about to bo launched.
Shorpo's greatest defect is ono he can
not euro ho is very deaf. If I had
mo bank account ot wiuis j. nuiings,
tho young oil member from Venango,
you wouldn't catch mo monkeying
around a legislature. Reside his
money Hillings has that jovial good
nature that characterizes all.
IIo was telling nw how ho might
havo mado 3,000,000 by buying au
Arizona copper claim, near Tucson,
for 819,000. "Why didn't you take
it?" I asked. "Hecauso another fel-
low got in ahead of mo. I never was
born to bo rich." Considering that
his shekels will aggregato about 200,
000, I think Mr. Hillings hovered on
the borders of truth when he mado
that last remark. Undo Jake Zeigler
is a stato character. All Democratic
state conventions aro hushed when
Undo Jake gets up to talk. Just so
docs tho house calm down and listen
when tho frosty-poled son of Hutler
speaks. Next to Uncle .Tako sits
Forth, of Philadelphia, an exceedingly
fresh young man. I believe I'd say
something mean about Furth if he
wasn't such an accommodating gen
tleman. He is always courteous, and
tho best talker for a Hebrew I ever
know. He is called tho Disraeli of
the house, but he lacks many of the
qualities of a statesman, and he talks
too much. Jerome H. Niles, of Potter,
tho man who discovered John J.
Mitchell (a fact ho doesn't caro to
boast about just now). IIo is keen
and sharp in debate, wilh a level head
and quick to think, ho does worry
the Democracy very much when ho
wants to. Niles is mentioned as a
candidate for auditor general. I think
you'll agree tho party couldn't do bet
ter. In front of Niles sits Laudis, of
Lancaster, tho spread eaglo orator of
the house, and tho great election re
former. When Landis flies his kite
into tho cloudy realms of oratory the
American eaglo just gets up and lifts
the roof oft' of the capitol. You can
thank Laudis for tho act punishing
fraud at primary elections, t haven t
dared to run for judge of primaries
since Landis had that act passed, for
fear I might mako a mistake and ho
arrested.
A now faco iu tho house this year
is Hullilt, of Philadelphia. Ho is a
very smart young man, but ho says
"aw" as Philadelphiaw, Senataw and
Mistaw. I can forgivo most anything
but that. Ho is a beautiful talker,
and is listened to attentively. Like
wise ho has a healhty bank account.
Now, hero is a character MoNaniara,
of Hcdford. His chief peculiarity is that
ho never gets up to talk that ho doosen't
say something mean about tho Repub
lican party. The venerable Aiax Col-
l)01'"' ol Somerset, always has a retort
I for Moninara, but not so stinging as
couiii oo given oy n one, whose old
desk Colborn occupies. The venera
ble Neill, of Philadelphia, is an orator,
whom it is a pleasure to hear talk.
IIo is an ox-Methodist preacher, and
ho must have been a rattler in tho
pulpit. Neill drew tears to a good
many eyes not long ago while plead,
ing for an appropriation for a homo
for fallen women in Philadelphia.
Davis, of Forest, is a tall Rcpubluan
with long beard and nn odor of hem
lock bark about him, IIo is a chosen
leader on his sido aud knows a hem
to of parliamentary law.
