"If I could only liavo a few flowers In the window, and a now carpet for tlio best room floor, "slRltcd Laura Dymond. .A soft voiced, fragile looking little creature, with big, troubled eyes, like a fawn's, and long lashes that almost touched her cheek when she looked down ward, there was joniothing about the dell cate woman that reminded one of a hot house blossom. She should have been tenderly nurtured and sheltered, as it were, from the rude winds of heaven j but we do not all settle into our proper niches in this world. In the next, heaven grant that it may be different with some of us. "Flowers! "echoed Hugh Dymond con temptously. "And a new carpet ! Fiddle-de-dee I Lolly, what can you possibly be thinking of, when we need a wing to the barn and a new yoke of steers so much ? But women are always going off on a tangent after the ornamental 1" Mrs. Dymond looked round the bare walled room, with worn rag carpet, its stiff backed chairs, and its pine table, and niglied. Mr. Dymond went on with his occupation that of whittling out a wooden pin for tho dooryard gate. "Well." he said nonchalantly, "what are you groaning about?" "I wasn't groaning; only, Hugh " "Well." "I should so like to have some few pretty things about me t" "Fu-u-udge I" grumbled the husband. "As if this was a world of outside show!" "Oh, I don't mean that ; but after all, you know, wa none of us have but a few years to live, and " "Now, come, come !" interrupted tho husband, "don't let's have any of this nonsense!" "1 don't think you quite understand me, Hugh, dear. What I mean is " "Yes, I do too; what you mean is, that you'd like to sit with your hands folded, a bouquet opposite, and a tine vel vet carpet under your feet. Pity you liadn't married a rich man. " Little Laura Dymond winced slightly; but she .was used to these sharp words and stinging retorts on her husband's part. It was the diamond mated with the rough flint tho slender stemmed anemone springing up beneath the ihadow of the rude Canada thistle. Sho ld herself, many times a day, that she lid not mind Hugh's way she was used o it; but tho falsehood was fresh every imejshedid mind his rough way, and she never could get used to some of those sharp, sudden words and looks. She had been a district school teachor when Hugh Dymond married her, and all the idea she had of the existence of a farmer's wife was roses clustered round a picturesque porch, strawberries and cream, a cool dairy with greon light coming through tho vine leaves at the casement, and whippoorwills singing on the edge of the woods at night! Poor Laura! it might have been a silly delu sion, but it was a brief one. To use Mr. Dymoud's own emphatic expression, there wasn't any uousense about him. Good pork and potatoes, and plenty of 'era; a shingled roof overhead, and fur niture that was good enough for his mother before him ; if a woman wanted more than those she must go some where else than to the Dymond farm liousel" Yes, it was all very solid and sub ctantial, but Laura could no more thrive on it than a humming bird on a diet of beef teal "I could draw my own $30 out of tho savings bank," said she doubtfully, "and get a fresh, pretty carpet. And oh, Hugh, I'm so tired of the worn spots in the striped rag carpet, and wo reully do need it in the sitting room. " "Bother!" responded the unceremon ious husband. " Koep your $30 for some thing that's going to be really useful. A clean board floor, ond plenty of eoapond nand; that was all the carpet my mother ever asked for. " It is such hard work to scrub it twice a week, Hugh!" pleaded the poor little wife. "Oh, if you're afraid of work, that's all I have to. say," said Mr. Dymond, shrugging his shoulders. "Unnecessary work, Hugh." lie made no answer, but Laura knew from the set look about his lips that her innocent appeal had beeu made in vain. "The flowers would cost nothing, " she went on, "Mrs. Jeulc'ins would give mo the slips, and Lizzie Clouney 'ias somo old pots which " "Pshaw I" broke out Hugh. "If you want to garden, go out and weed the ou ious and cabbages; I'm sure they need it badly enough ; but as for having tho window sills cluttered up with a lot of green trash, it's what I won't stand! So now you've got my opinion, and I hopa you feel better. " And he rose to his feet and quitted the room, taking care to shut the door with a bang that set Laura's nerves all in n quiver. She sat down and cried, the poor littlo solitary creature, when he was gone. Slio had thought so much of the carpet and the flowers; shehadgotitallplauuodout in her mind, and now Hugh forbade it. Well, there was no help for it; she must go back to the beaten track, Perhupj Hugh was right; ouly And then I Aura cried n;ain. "I don't know what's the matter with her," said ihe puzzled husband. "She don't complain j only nlie won't cat. or laugh, ami goes around with her head linnging down like a sick chicken. It's rather hard on a workingman, who has married a wife to be a helpmmt t-j ViW.i. At tins rale I rOiall have to hire a f.iil!'' "I shouldn't wonder," said the oki doctor, dryly, "It's the nervous system Dymond." "Oh, pshawt" ejnenl.tted Hugh. ".Nerves? I clout believe in such thing. " " You'll have oreasion to before long said Doctor Meynell. "I haven't any nerves. " "But other people may have, nevetthe- less. " -L,ouy never low mo sue iimi such a thing the matter with her," said Hugh, speaking with an injured air. "But if there's any particular kind of medicine would do her good, and it isn't too cx pensive " "She must have entire change of air total change of scene, " said the doctor, Dymond's countcnanco fell. "Aud what am I to do, all by myself at homo? Very selfish and inconsiderate of Lolly to " The old physician's benign counte nance darkened; his brows contracted of a sudden. "Man, man," he said, hold your rash tongue! You've no Idea what you are talking about! Suppose God, in His infi nite mercy, sees fit to take her from you altogether?" Hugh Dymond sat staring as if a levin bolt had stricken him to earth. " You don't mean . She she's not going to die, doctor? My littlo Lolly ; it la i j t so l ad as that! "How can we tell? She has been worked down to a mere shadow of her self ; you have treated her as you would a dumb beast; and it isn't the kind of life Bhe had been used to, poor little blos som!" "My Ood!" groaned the husband, drop ping his face in his hands, "I never dreamed of this!" Doctor Meynell's heart softened as he watched the strong shudder thrill through the repentant man's iron frame. He did love her, then, after nil; he was not so utterly heartless as ho teemed; it was only thoughtlessness, not deliberate tyr anny. "Tell me what to do, doctor," groaned Hugh Dymond. "If it costs mo all I have in tho world, Lolly shall be saved!" "Let her go back to her mother at the seashore for a few weeks, advised tho physician. "Chauge, rest, pleasant so cietythese will do much for her. And when sho comes back to you in the fall let us hope it will be with renewed hopa and courago. And so Laura Dymond was sent away for change of air and scene. The tears gushed into her eyes when she had part ed from her husband. A week afterward Hugh hitched up his brown nag and drove to the nearest town ; and before night the "best room" floor was covered with a cheerful rod carpet, strewn all over with little green leaflets and wood brown sprays of moss. 'Lolly will like the pattern " thoueht Hugh, "because it's like something real. How pleased she will be! And the hearth rug is to match the carpet, nnd the Nottingham curtaius will freshen the windows, aud I'll have both the caBe meuts lilted with tea roses and gerani ums, for winter is coming on, and she can't get any more of those posy pots in tho woods. I'm sorry now that I used to laugh at them so. " When the first November Rnowflakes eddied softly through the air. Hugh took his last triumphant look at the cheerful room, where tho roses and violets mado a Juno like scent, and tho Are crackled nnd the new carpet glistened in its cheer ful colors. Have tea nil ready in your best style. Marauda," he said to the new "hired girl," "for I shall bring your new mistress home in just an hour. " And Maranda, a plump, thriving "daughter of tho soil," promised that "all bliuuld bo right." "Ho must think a deal of her, to be nure, " said Maranda to herself. "I won der if she really is so very pretty." Thn train isn't m yet, I suppose," paid Hugh, glancing around, as he tied old Djbbiu to tho post, back of the depot fence. The station master shook his head. " No ; but here's a telegram for you, Mr. Dymond came half an hour ago. lth trembling fingers Hugh Diamond broko open tho seal. Perhaps Laura was uot coming until to-morrow perhaps Come to Seaglen at once," it read. "Your wife died this morning at 4 o'clock." The strip of senseless, cruel paper fell from the bereaved husband's hand; ho litairgered back against tho wainscoted wull, with a low cry, like that of one in mortal pain. Lolly dead! Lolly gone from him forever! tho little loving, wistful, dewy eyed creature, whom ho had spoken to so cruelly, many and many a time! And ho had resolved 4o be ro different for the futuro to cherish her so tenderly. Lolly dead! Surely, surely there must 1)9 eomo mistake; ho could uot believe it. And then, liko the rugh of some damp, sepulchral wind across his heart camo tho awful conviction that it was but too true. The blight new carpet, with the leaves and tho iiioks sprays, had come too late the flowers would bloom in the casements all in vain! It was too late now too latel And so began nnd ended tho sweetest idyl in all Hugh Dymond's life. Tho carpet is rolled up on the garret floor, the flowers are dead and gone, aud the red leaves of a score of autumns have woven their jeweled crown over Laura's grave ; but the sharp, envenomed sting of remorse. has not gouo out of Hugh s heart yet no, uor ever will.

Thejr Bay Chill Would Apologize Hut tar Elaine, Washington, Jan. 21. All Is seem ing peace and quiet at tho State, War and Navy Departments this morning. War talk has subsided wonderfully. and all tbo wisoncres are now predict ing peace. bocretary Tracy still continues his preparations for possible hostilities. lie says that there is no news at his department to-day and can bo none because tbo Yorktown, with Com mander Evans, has sailed away from Valparaiso with tho refugees, leaving tho navy unrepresented at tho port. Any cable despatches therefore must, during the absence of tho Yorktown. come to Santiago to the State Depart ment. Much of the feeling that war with Chill has been averted Is due to the belief that President Harrison and Secretary Blaine have had a serious misunderstanding over the question of how soon an apology should bo per emptorily demanded. '1 uat there is tho bitterest feeling between Harrison and Blaine no one here doubts, and. perfunctory state dinners, at which outward politeness la manifested, do not servo to shake tho general belief that a break bo twee n the president and secretary of State Is imminent. One of the gentlemen who were at yesterday's conference in tho White House said that the president's closo friends aver that Chili would have been brought to terms long ago. but for Mr. Blaine's appoals for time and conciliatory measures. W bon will Harrison and Blaine sep arate? is now the question of the hour, and is discussed with more eagerness and spirit than the question of whether war will occur or whore tho Democratic National Convention will be located.
