I LOVED A LASS, A FAIR ONE.

I loved a lass, a fair one,
As fair as e'er was seen;
She was indeed a lwrc une,
Another Slicba (Juccn j
But fool us then I was,
I thought she loved me too,
But now, alast sli' 'as left lue,
Falcro, lei 11, loo.
Her hair like gold did glister,
Each cj e was like a star,
She did surpass her sister
Which past allWheu far;
She w mild me honey call,
She'd, 0 -she'd kiss me too,
But irow, alas I sh 'as left me,
Fulcio, leio, loo.
In summer time to Medley,
My love and I would mi,
The boatmen there stood ready
My love and I to tow:
For cream there would we call,
For cakes, and for prunes too,
But now, alas I sh' 'as left rue,
Falcro, lero, loo.
Many a merry meeting
My love and I have had;
She was my only sweeting,
She made my heart full glad ;
The tears stood In her eyes.
Like to the morning dew.
But now, alas! sh' as left mo.
Falcro, lcro, loo.
And asttbroad we walked,
As lovers' fashion Is,
Oft as we sweetly talked,
The sun would steal a kiss;
The wind upon her Hps
Likewise most sweetly blev,
But now, alas! sh' 'as left me,
Falcio,lcro, loo.
Her cheeks were like the cherry,
Her skin as white as snow, . , ,
When she was blllho and merry,
She angel-like did show;
Her waist exceeding small,
The fives did fit her shoe,
Bui now, alas! sh' 'as left ine,
Falcro, I-to, loo.
In summertlniRor winter.
She had her heart's desire;
I still did scorn to stint her,
Fiom sugar, sack, or fire j
The world went round about,
No cares w e ever knew.
But now, alas! sh' 'ns left me,
Falcro, lciu, loo.
As we walked home together
At midnight through the town,
To keep away the Weather,
O'er her I'd cast my gown;
No cold my loje should feel,
Whale'er the heavens could do,
But now, alas! sh"as lettine,
Falcro, lem, loo.
Like doves vo wotild lie billing,
And clip and kiss so fast,
Yet she would he unwilling
That I should kiss the last;
They're Judas kisses now,
Since that the proved untrue)
For now, alasl eh' 'as left me,

To maiden's vows and swearing,

But never them believe;
They are as false as fair,

For mine, alas! hath lift me,

Twas I that paid for all things,

If ever that Dame Nature,
For this false lover's sake,

Let her remember this,
To make the other true.

BY M1I8 i:. llfltKE COU.ISS.
Soft, sweet am! low the sound of a V.I0II11
floated ilon u the busy slreet of n great city,
In '.ho saddest most ;uoiiiiifui of strains.
The musician was old and ugly, an old
man with scant, white hair, ami hard fea
tures and wild, black eyes. He was ragged
and Oirly, and there was a fierce look upon
his wrinkled features. They seemed to
hear the mark In plain staring letters of u
hard, hard life, talents misapplied and
wasted, and now a itrlm old age which was
pitiful to witness.
But what music lie drew from the old
violin' In his hands! A blackened, time
worn Instrument, which would surely bring
a large sum from a collector of curiosities
and antiquities. Such soft, plaintive ulrsj
such w ild, blood-stirring strains; such low,
sobbing, walling, the bow drew forth the
imprisoned music within the old, cracked
Instrument.
Two young men were sauntering slowly
down the street, arm-in-arm, and they
stopped tn listen. One was fair and proud
looking, rich steel-blue eyes and golden
hair, and a look of high-bred hauteur
'
7i
upon his delicate face.
nAKj
Live and Let Live."
face, and soft, brown eyes. A noble-look-
ing man, wnn a noble Heart. lie was
wealthy nnd alone In the wotld, was Guy
siumovani; no nail no ties of rnmlly and
only a few tried friends! Ilcstood listening
lo the music, his soul In his eyes, his face
growing slowly pale
"It is beautiful!" cried Ills friend, light
ly; Nell Gordon was apt to judge every
thine lightly; but Guy said nothing spoke
no word.
With lilm the true appreciation of true
music could be expressed only by the elo
quence of silence. So he stood there like
one spell-bound, while the music faltered
away and was. still.
Then he started nd a slight shiver ran
over his graceful form like a chill.
The old man held out a very dilapidated
haUJs-eilGordon fluinr a coin Intotl.e .e.
?ptaclc, but Guy Sturdevant drew a bank-
note from his pocket and laid It Iu tlio old
inau's giimy hunt!.
"1 have heard Ole Bull nnd the reit," he
rcmaikeu siowiy, "but no violin music has
ever touclieu my heart before. 0 Id man
you ought to bo upon the boards! Why do
vou not play for the public-the fashionable
public In some gleat theater?'
tV cynical smile crossed the musician's
lips, and there was a twinkle in ills deep
set ejes.
"Just light the world!" he ejaculated.
"Here I give you my best music, out in the
flee air, with God's blue sky above our
heads, music which need cost you nothing,
for If you do not choose to contribute aou
need not, you know !' Yet you are not sat
Islicd!" "I spoke for yourgood,"returned Slitrde-
rant, noting tlio angry flash of the old
mans eyes, "lou know that the world
never appreciates free favors. To be te-
celved and listened to as au artist by the
world, one must occupy a definite and re
spected position."
"Yes, yes; I know. The world of fash
ion pays its live and ten dollars to hear
Pattl, yet that same world would scarcely
stand In the street to listen to tlio divine
dt'ea's singing, should she sing there un
heralded. I understand, sir. Thanks for
your generous donation."
And returning his ragged cap to his bead,
ic turned to move away.
"That Is n fine Instrument," interposed
Nell Gordon. "What will you take for it?
Old, too. A Cremona, 1 do believe!" In
surprise nnd attempting lo lay his hand
upon It. But the old man drew oack with
a low cry of rage, his face pale, his eyes
flashing.
"Don't touch It!" he panted. "I will
not sell It I will starve first! That violin
Is priceless, sir worth Its weight in gold to
uie and my child."
Nell -Gordon "turned aside with a s)ave
apology, and the old nian hurried away.
Uut his sudden movement just at the street'
crossing, crowded with carriages and lmr-
ying pedestrians, threw him right In the
vVy of.a pair of reaiing, plunging horses.
en Hied and ready to trample any object Iu
their path.
A moment later, and the old man lay up
on the giound right under the lion-shod
hoofs. But with a swift movement Guy
-tSluritevant rushed to bis side, caught the
frightened horses by the bridle, throwing
them back upon their haunches, and sav
ing' the old musician's life. But he was
unconscious, and had suffered injury of
some kind. Yet even In his Insensibility
he clutched the precious violin in Ills arms,
and it was quite unharmed.
Guy Sturdevant had the old man carried
Into a neighboring drug-store and resusci
tated, then he had liltn placed in a cab, and
sealed himself nt his sit!c.
"Tell me w here to have you driven," lie
said to the old man.
"To Little's Court," the musician re
lumed. "It's a rough place for such as
you to come to, young sir, and 1 oughu'tto
let you; but Htowhle will be so frightened
lo see her old grand-dad brought holuc
this way. I I'd be glad to have your
company."
"Who is Brownie?" asked Guy, Invol
utitarily-
"My granddaughter, sir. It's for her
aske that I play iu tlio streets; ouly, sir,
she doesn't know that It's In the itrcets
that I play. I make her believe that I am
employed In a theater.'1
Guv Sturdevant nodded. He understood
tlio pride which prompted this.
He wondcreJ, too, at the old man's evi
dent education and refinement, lie did
know that the rags and dirt wetfl eacli dav
and at:ain at night assumed by the old
musician to hide his identity, and to keep
from Brownie the knowledge of his real
occupation.
They reached the court, and the old inau's
quarters, plain but scrupulously neat
apartments upon (he second floor of a tum
ble-down old house. And here Guy
Sturdevant saw Brownie Allen, and loved
her at first sight he, the aristocratic young
millionaire; but love, like death, is no ro
spector of persons. A slim, pale little
maiden, with brown eyes and hair, hut the
loveliest face In the world to Guy, .After
thai he was a dally visitor. He found
Brownie highly cultivated. She had spent
three years at college, and had made tlio
most of her advantages.
Time passed, but the old man did not
recover. Guy Sturdevant saw that he
could not live; that jioor Brownie would
soon bo alone In the world. And he loved
her. Poor and obscure, yet she was a lady,
and Guy Sturdevant had chosen her from
all the world for his wife.
He asked her to ho his wife, and sweet,
blushing Brownie, cousenlcd.
The young man marked the evident un
easiness of the old man, the unspoken fear
lest harm should befall the girl when be
would be dead, and Guy proposed an im
mediate niatrlage.
So, one fair Spring evening," Guy Sturde
vant and Brownie Allen entered a small
church In the suburbs, and when they re
turned to the sick man's side they" were
husband and wife. But even their liappl
ness could not keep the old man alive. He
died as he had lived quietly, uncomplain
ingly, making no moan. He simply drew
Brownie's bead down upon the pillow and
whispered softly:
"He is good and true, dearie. You have
done well. Darling, the vlollu Is all that I
have lo leavo you. Swear that you will
keep It till you die!"
"I swear!" the faltered between sobs and
tears.

which those "isms'' will not r-icognlze, Is
recognized by the public, and this public

upon the inilleal profesMun, eventually
compels it to recognize It.
Is It possible that the question has liem
answered by shrewd business men? .A

seems to us that Ihe ptibllebave recognized
what this fatality Is, and how It can be
met, while the, medical profession have
boon wrangling about It.
Bv a rareful examination of insurance
reporls we llml that there lias been a shaip
reform Willi reference to examinations (anil
mat no man can now get any amount of
Hisurance who has the least development
oi liiuncy uisoriierj, because they find that
sixty out of every hundred In this country
do, either directly or Indirectly, suffer from
kidney disease. Hence, no reliable com
pany w ill Insure a man except after a rigid
urinary examination.
This reminds us of a little instance which
occutred a short lime ago. A fellow editor
was an applicant for a respectable amount
of insurance. He was rejected on examin
ation, because, unkuowu to himself, his
kidneys were diseased. The shrewd agent,
however, did not glye up the case. He hail
an eye to business and to his commission,
and said: "Don't you worry; yougetahalf
dozen bottles of Warner's safe cure all
dealers keep it take it according to direc
tions and In about a month como around,
and we will have another examination. I
know you will liud yourself all right and
will get your policy."
The editor expressed surprise at tho
agent's faith, but tho latter replied: "This
point Is a valuable one. Very many Insui-
ance agents all oyer the country, when they
find a customer rejected for this cause, give
similar advice, and eventually he gets .the
Insurance."
What are we to infer from sucli circumst
ances? Have shrewd Insurance men, ss
well as other shrewd business men, found
the secret answer to the Inquiry? Is it
possible that our columns have been pro
claiming, Iu the form of advertisements,
what has proved a blessing In disguise to
millions, and yet by many Ignored us an
advertisement?
In our files we find thousands of strong
testmonlals for Warner's safo cure, nb two
alike, which could not exist except upon a
basis of truth: indeed, tney are published
under a guarantee of $5,000 to anyone who
will disprove their coi redness, and this
offer has been standing we aro told, for
iiioic man iour years.
Undoubtedly this article, which is simply
dealing out justice, will be considered asau
advertisement and bo rejected by many as
tticu.
