A Marvelous Story
told m two urnriu.
FROM THE SON rtJS&L'S&S
" Gentlemen: My fathor resides at Glover,
Vt- He has been a great sufferer from Scrof
ula, and the Inclosed letter will tell you what
a marvelous effect
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
has had In his ease. I tblnlc his blood must
hare contained the humor for at least ten
years ; but It did not show, except In the form
ot a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about
live years ago. From a few spots which ap
peared at that time, It gradually spread so as
to cover his entire body. I assure you he was
terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when
he began using your medicine. Now, there are
few men of his age who enjoy as good health
as he has. I could easily name fifty persona
who would testify to the facta In his ease.
Yours truly, W. M. PBixur."
FROM THE FATHER: pi1.
both a
easure and
a duty for me to state to you the benefit I
hare derived from the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Six months ago 1 was completely covered with '
a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The
humor caused an Incessant and lntolerabla
Itching, and the skin cracked so as to causa
the blood to flow In many places whenever
1 moved. My sufferings were great, and my
life a burden. I commenced the use of the
Sarsafarilla in April last, and have used
It regularly since that time. My condition
began to Improve at once. Tbe sores hare
all healed, and I feel perfectly well In every
respect being now able to do a good day"!
work, although 73 years of age. Many Inquire
what has wrought such a cure in my case, and
I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you,
AVer's Sarsaparilla. Glover, Vt, Oct.
21, 1882. Yours gratefully,
Hiram PitiLLira."

"I mnst now bid you goed-morning,
Miss Ojjdon; niy train is about starting.
I am sorry yon re obliged to remain
Here until to-morrow, in consequeuco of
the brefk in the road; but you will find
everything pleasant here at the Sherman
House. I have entered your name on
the books, and have also given the name
and address of vonr father, which will
be all tbe guarantee you will require for
the best treatment they can give you."
That is nil right, Mr. Werden. and I
am greatly obliged for your kindness,'
was tbe pleasant response.
Tjie lady whose attendant bad thus
bowed Limself out nod nwsy was & happy
young girl of eighteen, who bad been
spending the bolldays with some rela
tives in St. Louis, and was now ou ber
way to ber home in Rochester. She bad
been accustomed to travel, both in com
pnny and alone, ana did not regard it as
a very serious calamity when she learned
from tbe gentleman in whose charge she
had been placed, and who bad aecom
panted ber ns far as Chicago, that she
wonld be obliged to remain there a day
or two.
It was now eight o'clook in tbe morn
ing, and having breakfasted in ber room,
and while thinking bow pleasant it would
be to find some one in that great city
whom she knew, she chanced to.remtm
ber having beard ber father say that be
bad a nephew residing there by the
name of Charles Drown, a dealer in
h.irdwaro.
The city directory bavisg beeu sent
for, give ber the address of "Charles
Brown, Hardware," and within the ntxt
twenty minutes a cab placed tbe young
lady, with ber satchel in her hand, at tbe
door of bis residence.
Tbe bell bad been rung, and steps were
approaching tbe door, when our heroine
began for tho first time to query with
herself as to whether sha bad cone into
the cousining business in tbe most prud
ent war. Would it not have been mncb
better to bkve sent ber card and Informed
those conslns that she was at tbe hotel,
and would be glad to kee them? She
must now go in and say to the lady:
"I am cousin of your busbaud. My
name is Agatha Ogden, and I am
daughter of Ralph Ogden, of Rochester,
New York."
How different an awkward transaction
looks, wben we get fairly into it, from
what it does wben thought of or seen al
a dUtancet
I am much pleased to see yon. Miss
Ojdent" was tbe form in which tie j ourg
lady was received by Mrs. Bron
'I'lesse lrt me take your hat aud wraps.
M aitter. Miss Williams," abe added, nx
lha ltdy thus iulrodnced entered Ihe
torn. "My busbaud is out of the city,
but will return to.rnoirow. Hi brothtr,
Fruik, is at the atore, and will 1m lim e
to tnucb. I know very Jittto in regard to
my hubbaud's relative", ami no not te
Here Frank knows mncb abont Ibem, I e
h tving left home when not more than ten
years old."
"I do wish I was back at tbe Shetman
Iloast!" Agatha said to herself, the first
morueut she was alone. "These ladle
seem very kind; bntbow extremely awk
ward I shall feel if tbe gentleman should
nit be a relative of mine, after sail! They
will thiuk, and so thall I. that I hav
mads a very great fool of myself' And
even if Ibey are my cousins, they will no
doubt suppose tbat I canie here to save
my hotel bill. But I am hero now, and
they ara making me welcome; of course,
I cannot do otherwise than remain until
the elder brother comes home, I do
wonder if othtr people ever act as fool
isbly as I do aomctlmet? How father and
tnolbsr would scold me!"
Frank Brown, tbe cousin who would
be home to lunob, was an earneal tonng
fa ow, tweuty.twu years old, overflowing
w .b Ufa, and had seen jnst enough of
be world to make him somewhat bold
and self-reliant.
To make sura of Frank's company to
lunch, Miss Williams went down to the
store soon after the visitor came in, and
told bim the whole story, ending with:
"She is really a very pretty girl.Frank.
We are just delighted with btrl"
Frank Brown bad never beard of any
cousin of that name; but that only made
the discovery more interesting.
Having put himself through tbe bands
ot bis barber and boot-embellisher, and
given each part of bis wardrobe a fow
extra loaches, be ordered a cab to set
him down nthis door that unusual pre
caution Laving been taken in order to
bring himself into the presence of bis
new cousin in an unsoiled condition.
'Then, after giving himself a few more
tonohes and scrutinizing glances on en
tering tbe ball, the young man marched
boldly in, and having been duly an
nounced, said:
"I am delighted to meet you, cousin!"
At the same time for tbe whole story
may as well be told he took ber fondly
aad affectionately by tVehand, and pine
ing his left arm gently ariund ber, wait
ed a second or two, until be saw her fair
blue eyes looking firmly, eflectionattly,
and as be thought invitingly, right into
his own, and then gave ber a cousinly
kiss, not roughly or hastily, but in a very
besoming and orderly way. Ha said,
agdn:
T am delighted to meet you, Cousin
Agatbal"
To which the young lady responded:
"And I am pleased to meet you,Cousln
Frank."
Tbe young man remained at borne tbnt
day an hour longer than uual in fact.
did not return to the store until one of
the cleik3 enmo for bim, and then only
remained long enough to answer a ques
tion or two. A Utile business nt tbe
Sherman House required bis attention.
Cousin Agatha's trunk, the cheek for
which be had reoeivnd frcm ber, mnst be
sent over to their bouse, and ber name
wilhdrawn from tbe books. Miss Ogden
would ba their guest wbile sha remained
iu the city, and she bad already kindly
consented to prolong ber visit two or
three days.
"Well, my dear," said tbe elder Mr.
Brown,-on bearing the whole story from
bis wife, immediately after he came
home, "this is a comical adventure oue.
however, that does not seem likely to
d image any of ns. Tbe yonug lady is
certainly not related to me. I uudtr
stand, however, exactly bow tbe mistake
h is occurred. There was another Charles
Brown, who left here a year ago, wham
I knew very well, for be was also in tbe
hardware business, and be bad, as be
told me, an nncle by tbe name of Ralph
Ogden, iu Rochester. We were talking
one day in regard to our respective fam
ilies, wben be incidentally mentioned
tbat fact, and spoke, as I remember, in
very high terms of tbat uncle. Tbe
young lady i, of course, the daughter of
that gentleman. She is now, aa you say,
down tbe city with your sister'"
"Yes; they went out together an bonr
ago, to do alittle shopping, and riill soon
return."
"Well, we must correct the mistake as
gently as possible, and make the young
lady's visit none the leu pleasant to ber,
I will go to tbe store now, and return
within an hour, and wbile I am gone you
will, of course, explain the mistake to
cur visitor, Meantime, I will set Frank
nil right iu regard to the matter, and
prepare him to be alittle less demonstra
tive."
Tbe mistake was first explained to
Miss Williams by ber sister, and then
both ladies united in making tbe revela
tion to their guest, and all were soon
laughing heartily at wbat seemed to them
a very enjoyable joke.
As for Frank, his feelings were mixed
and peculiar; and our heroine also cx

A slightly awkward and embarrassing
situation, and to get back to the formal

eigbtseu would be expected lo possess,
"Well, Cousin Agatha, how have you
enjoyed yourself since I saw you last?''
was tbe greeting Frank gave their guest,
the firat time they met after the mistake
was discovered.
Agatha flushed a little, but not very
crimson, and managed to go tbrongh ber
part of the progrtrnme in a way lLat
made all partiea feel as if they had found
a happy aud congenial friend, worlb
knowing aud loving, even though tbe

Mr. Cbarlrs Urnwn meutiotied to his
faintly, in the course of the evening, that
hi) bud learned from rrliabla partiea tbnt
the younb' lady, as be had conjectured,
belonged to one of the meat resp ectable
families iu Rochester,
"A good uud worthy girl," he added;
1 whose vuit we must make as pleuuut
as possible."
And to the carrying ont of that pro
grauimo Ihe whole family addressed
themselves especially Frank.
Of the mistake that brought tbe young
ltdy to their bouse, nothing was said lo
Irieuds who came in. Miss Ogden un
simply iulrodnced as a oung frier d
from Rochester, who was pajlng tbiin a
visit; and all joined with them in say'lig
bow very sorry the; were that ber visit
would terminate so soor.
Wbtthsr the cousinly kiss with wbleb
Fnuk Brown rind Agatha Oden greeted
each other, wheu first meeting, was re
peated at purling, has never hi en knoan
unless to tbe young people then-selves.
Bat for some reason tbe acquaintance
begin in that random way did not end
with tbat visit.
On thinking over the whole matter, on
ner way borne, Agatha came to the con
clusion tbat It wonld not be best to tell
any one. eieent her father and mother.
tbe story of her consinly adventure; nor
di I sbs tell qulto the whole story, even
to them,
"A letter for yon. Agatha, aud from
Chlcaco." was Mr. Oaden'a remark. wbll
distributing the mnll-maltertb postman
had brought lo, one rooming, a few dajs
after his daughter bad returned. "From
your cousins, perhaps."
"H.iv we any conslns in Chicago?"
asked an older sister.
"We had. some time aco." was the
evasive answer which Agntba, with a Kly
but imploring look, prompted ber father
1 Rive.
"Who is your letter from. Ac?" asked
her sister. "I saw tbe address a gen
tleman's writing-"
"Please don't bother me. now." renllrd
Agatha, placiuc tbe letter in her Docket
without readiug.
"JUbt tbe way." said tha sister, "that
young ladies treat the first letter thrv re
ceive from their beaux."
"After thoy have received as manv as
you havo," retorted Agatha, wit'a just a
very little spite in her tone; "I suppose
they give tbe first readinr toanvone
who is willing to perform a service of
that sort!"
'A love letter, as sure as I live!" ex.
claimed the sister."
It is scarcely necessary to sav that tha
letter was from Frank Brown, who man
aged tbe correspondence so clevr rlr.llml
at the end of two months, he was a wel
come gueat at tbe residence of Mr,
Ralph Ojdeo. and tbo accented lover of
bis daughter Agatha.
A few vonnff friends that !(. .m.nn
tbem, were mischievous enough to say,
on tho day of the wedding, that Agatha
"Ag," as they persisted in cal!lno hr
most of the time knew verv well, when
she called on Mr. Brown, that those peo
ple were in no way related to her but just
went on a love-making adventure.
A slander, of course, and ihevbnawlt.
No young lady eyer made a mora bonest
blundir, or a more lncky one; for tbe
young man, whose first Introduction was
mat earnest and affectionate kiss, proved
to be a worthy and faithful husband.
Agatha could not have found one who
would have suited ber better if abo bad
looked the whole continent over.
