And as you walk life's wear way, Their fragrance you shall share. LITTLK BY L1T1LE.

Jiamina, you are jcstlntj!" She stood at ttio open window of Die shabby little slttlug-room a tall, straight young Ilgurc In a clinging black gown. A girl with a fair, sweet face, brown eyes, and golden hair Lucia Dciiclle. At the other window both of which opened upon great, straggling, tinkept grounds a delicate looking woman was bendl'nc over a huge basket of darning. All sorts and conditions of garments, all of a diminutive size, bespoke the occupation tho weary and toll-worn mother of small children. Mrs. Dcnclle glanced up, with a pair of tmy, dilapidated socks la her hand, and her tired face grew incjie careworn, as she suppressed a weary sigh.- "Daughter, the. yory thought of your be ing forced into a loyclcless marriage breaks my heart. If you do not cannot learn to caro for Mr. Dysart" Lucia shrugged her graceful shoulders disdainfully ''then I will say no more. Hut be Is good and kind. He offers to settle a haudsoino In come upon .me, so that the children can be properly educated. Un offers to lift tho mortgage from this place, aud secure It to me free of all Incumbrance; also to re furnish and beautify tho house. Really my dcjir, Woodland would be a lovely place, with some, necessary Improvements, and with means sufficient to keep the grounds in order. And when 1 reflect upon our forlorn condition since, your father's death, and glance about me at the tlx Utile ones all younger than you, to bo fed, clothed and educated upon thd more pittance which Is left me from your father's life insurance it makes my heart stand still. And Mr. Dysart loves you. His elegant home is near nTiougli, so that I would not have to lose you altogether. Oh, Lucia, darling, I would nevei consent for you to go far away." ; "Not even to I'aly, mamma?" Tho girl's sweet face bad grown tender i and gentle. She came to her mother's side and drew the unliiiisbcd mending from her hands. "There! Let ine do It, mamma. Tiuly I am not tired. I've only given a music lesson this morning. Xow, mamma" with a mischievous smile, which did not conceal tho undercurrent of anxiety In her heart "answer me! Mayn't I go to Italy as Stuart Hariand's wlfcV" "Good heavens!" Mrs. Denellc started to her feet, pale ami trembling like a lejf. "Stuart Ilarlaudl a poorarllst, oh, Lucia, this Is madness!" "Mamma, I lovo hiinl" "Madness madness!" repeated the poor mother brokenly. "Lucia, I would rather see you dead. You are poor enough now," "Jfamma" the girl's face was grayc and resolute "I cannot endure the thought of giving you pain, but I do not love Mark Dysart, and I have given my whole heart to Stuart Harland, and can never marry any one else." Mrs. Denelle was wringing her bands In bitter sorrow, Neither of them observed the tall, dark figure out In the overgrown grounds without, lying at full length upon the garden seat, bis bat drawn over his eyes. A man of middle age, with dark brown hair and beard Just touched with gray, keen gray eyos, aud severe expression. The two women went n with the discussion, and neyer dreamed of the listener without. "I would not willingly grievo or cross you, Lucia," Mrs. Denelle was saving.sadly, "but I shall never nlve my consent." "Thn" rebolliously "we shall either have to marry without It, oi forgive roe, mamma" with a little cry of pain at sight of her mother's distress. "Xo, I would never do that; but I would be doomed to a life of loneliness aud unhappluess; aud I know that would make you nnhappy,too." Mrs. Denelle made no teply, and Lucia went ou with th task before her. All day long the worked; cooking, ironing, and mending for the noisy, mischievous six, Riled the time to overflowing. But Lucia, pale and patient, woiked array, and noth ing was left undue. Wlion the sun had set aud twilight had fallen over the green earth like a benedic tion, when the last youngster was tucked sway In his little bed, then Lucia was at liberty. She threw a fleecy white wrap about her shoulders, and went out Into the dusky grounds. All ttls later Stuart Harland joined her. Tall and graceful was the young artist, with clear-cut features, large, luminous dark eyes, and a dark mustache; afacoto attract any woman. And Lucia knew how good and true ho was, and her whole heart was in the keeping of this man whose only fault was povorty. In golden silence tho two paced on to gether down tho tangled garden path. At last Stuart Harland turned, and his dark eyes met Lucia's with a silent question In their depths. She shook her golden head slowly, sadly. "It IsSisolcss, sweotbeart," she said, soft ly. I have spoken to the mother. I wished to prepare her for your Intended Interview to-morraw; but, Stuart, It Is quite, useless quite. She will never consent to our marriage; and I cannot blame her, poor little mother! It would he separation for us both,, perhaps forever. Oh, Stuart, Stuart!" the golden head went down upon his shoulder, and the sweet yolce broke In to sobs and tears "I cannot giycyott up!" "And you shall not," he murmured, tenderly. " If'e will wait, dear love," "I shall bo old and gray and ugly," she 'was beglnnlng4 . But ho stooped and kissed tho sweet, red lips. "You may he as old as Methuselah, and gray as a badger ugly jou never can be under any circumstance, little woman! hut von shall be my wlfo Just the same. I will never give you up." And so their troth was pledged anew; aud Stuart Harland wont home through the silvery moonlight with a tender smile upon his lips, and his dark eyes shining with a happy light. "I wonder who this fellow can bo of whom Lucia told me to-night," bo unci led as he walked along- "It Is a new arrival here.who has purchased Beeehwood grand old place and Lucia says she met hltn last summer while sit a was away in the ll'est teaching school. A rich western merchant, and by Jove! who is that?" A tall, dark form loomed up beforo him In the moonlight; an elderly man, at sight of whom Stuart involuntarily hailed. "Mr. Harland, Is it not?" began tho stranger, quietly, "t would like a few words with you, sir, if you please." Stuart bowed. "As many as you like, Mr. " "Dysart. My name is Mark Dysatl, Stuart Harland, did you ever hear that name before?" 'Xever,tomyknowledge,untll to-night," the young man returned quietly. "Can I servo yon In any way, Mr. Dysart?" "Yes, I loye Miss Lucia Denelle. If you were out of my way she might learn to caro for me; and I am sure that once my wife she wontd love mo, for I would bv so kind and tender to her that I could not fail to win her In time. Mr. Stuart Har land, I understand that you a struggling young artist, poor and proud. Oh, you need not get angry, I did not mean any In sult; I was speaking for your good. I will make yon this proposition; I agree to pay all your expenses to Italy where you can petfect yourself In your art. I wllldomore. I will make your name famous; for, no matter how fine an artist you may be, the world will never believe it until some rich and influential man says to. I will do all this for you; I will make you Urn richest and most famous artist of the day npon one condition." "And that?" 8tuart Hariand's voles trembled. "Is that you resign all pretensions to Lucia Denello's hand! That, you go away and leave t he coast clear. What do you say?" Trembling like a leaf, pale as marble, his great dark eyes blazing with Indignation, Stuart turned with uplifted hand.

At a meeting of the Loyal Legion the other evening I was reminded of one nf the most peculiar Incidents of Iho war, which has never been published. While wn were beforo Atlanta wn had pushed up our lines close against the breastworks of the Con federates until wo wore within a few yards of each other. There were two bilgades, separatod only by a ravine. Every time a man showed himself above his woiks lie was peppered at. Down In Ihn ravine was a spring, and both sides used to go there at night lo qct water, nobody daring lo ap proach It bj daylight, One day u heavy fog fell oyer the camp, nnd every man al once rose up glad to stretch and be able lo walk around without being shot at. Some of the men were cooking their meat and boiling their coffee, others walked around on tho works. Suddenly, without an instant's warning, a gust of wind came, up and blew tho fog away at quickly a$ you could snap your finger, and there were the men of the two opposing brigades out in plain view upon their works, so exposed that a volley would hayo mowod down half of them. But no one was proparcd for the emergency; not a gnu in hand; no one niacin an effort to arm himself. Tints both sides faced each other in suspense. Then, by some Inex. plicablo Impulse, a party of the Confeder ates, which had evidently started to the spring, pot in hand, continued leisurely on their way. I do not know why, hut our men did not molest them, and some of them oven wont down to the spring them selves. What follows seems strange. A tacit truce, was declared, and during the few days that the two brigades continued to face each other across the ravins It con tinued, and not a shot was fired by tho men of one side at the mon of the other. They would fire at the brigades nt either side and diagonally, but nover at each other, and tbe men would moct In the ravlnn to trade and converse. I tell this narra'lyo tushow that then; was no bitterness between the Individuals of tho two sides. Both wcro fighting for the cause. St. Lmth (Vobt Democrat. A VIVID PICTURE OF A BATTLE. A lad asked Oeneral Avcrlll how he felt In his first battle. Tho General said: "Leaving out of consideration some twen ty odd Indian fights in which I was engaged before the war, and in one of which 1 was .wounded so as to bo obliged "to walk on crutches for nearly two years, I will state that my first fight was Bull ltun, In 1801, Mv feeling on entering the battle was, as I taw the enemy hastening to their rositlon, that there was a gtcat and useless crime about to bo committed; Hie second, at I can remember the whizzing and liuitllng of the first solid shot from tho enemy through tho trees and tearing along tho ground, was of tho fierce and terrible force of a cannon ball; next 1 was startled, amazed and hoi rifled to see a man who had been hit on the head by a fragment of shell springing about aud shoddlng blood like a chicken with Its head stricken off; after that wonder at tbe excitement, amounting to a kind of dcllr .ium, of our chief cotnmandei's,who galloped about yelling to any one who would keep still enough to listen about what the enemy were doing, and generally calling for re enforcemcuts like ftlghtencd idiots; then the wofnl lack of a capable, commander of all our forces, with a headquarters, was felt; and, to skip to the last, uncontrollable indignation and mortification at the failure of our array to win the batttc, as with the rear wo withdrew from tho field. Tho only consolation to he found was to know tint the enemy wcro not much, If any, bettor off than ourselves In efficient haudliug. I trutt you will never bo called upon to un dergo such trying sensations." WHAT A LIE COST. Olio of Cromwell's daughter Frances' suitors was Bey. .leremlah White, her fath er's chaplain. Cromwell did not favor the suit. Hearing one day that tho chaplain was alone with Frances, he rushed angrily into the room, where ho discovered the chaplain on his knees, with Fanny's hand against his lips. "What is tho meaning of this position?" be asked. "May It please your highness," replied the chaplain, "I'liaye a longtime courted that gentlewoman there, my lady's woman, and cannot prevail. I was, therefore, humbly praying her ladyship lo Intercede for me." Cromwell know the man was lying, but, being wllllne to take the-llo for truth, he turned to the maid saying: "What is tho meaning of tills, huzzy? Why refuse the houor Mr, While would do you? He is my friend and f expect you to treat him as tiieh." The girl, willing to make the most of her opportunity, replied with a courtesy and blush: "If Mr. Il'hllo Intends me that hon or, I shall not be against him." "Sayest thou so lass?" cried Cromwell. "Call Goodwin, The business shall bo done before I leave the room." Goodwin, a cleruyman, promptly respond ed, the two were married then and there, and Cromwell gave, the bride a dowry of fjOO. The result of the chaplain's lie was fifty years of wedded unhappluess. A striking tale the whale's. Country stiles are cut crossway. Bowled robbery cheating at ten-pins.

Applied to Hood's Sarnaparilla, the word I'cculiar is of rcagt importance, It means that Hood's Sarsaparilla is difi'erent from other preparations in many vital points, which make it a thoroughly hnnext nnd reliable medicine. It is Peculiar, in a strict ly mcdi cal seine: first, in Ihc combination of remedial agents used; second, in the pro portions in which they are prepared; tliird in the proccs-s by which theactivu curative properties of the medicine are secured. Slutlv thene points well. They mean vol umes. They make Hood's Harsnpnrille Pe culiar in its curative iwwcrs, as it accom plishes wonderful cures hitheito unknown, and which give, to Hood's Sarsaparilla a clear right to the title of "The greatest blood purifier ever discovered."
