IN Its first staRCR, ran bo successfully

Cherry Tcctornl. Even in tlio later
periods of that dlseaso, tho cough is
wonderfully relieved by this moclicino.
" I liavo used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
with tho best effect in my practice.
This wonderful preparation oncesavoil
my lifo. I had a constant rough, night

' Several years ago I was aeveroly ill.
The doctors said I was in consumption,
and that they could do nothiUK for 1110,
but advised nie, u3 a last resort, to try
A'yer's Cherry Pectoral. After tnltlup;
this inedlclno two or three months I
was cured, and iny health remains good
to the present day." Jauica Wrchard,

" Soveral years apjo, on a passage, homo
from California, by water, I contracted
so severo a' cold that for sonio days I
was confined to my stnte-room, anil a

THE 1TUSI0 MAN.
"Aunt ItotHj-," said DoHa Grey, "cnu
I go over to the Drdw plnce, to BingingH
6(Siiooi, to-nighir
"No, you ain't, nnd thare'a nn olid
on't." Said. Aunt Boteoy Blatohford,
laitting away as If her needles were
mado of slieot lightning and her elho
worltcd by oleclricity.
Delia looked sober enough. Sho was
a tall, fresh complexioned girl of 17 or
18, with largo brown eyes, a forehead
surmounted by naturally curling rings
j3t chestnut hnir, and sweet red mouth
always ready to break into gracious
smiles.
Sho had Worked hard all day making
soft soap and finishing off tho family
ironing, but her labors hud boon cheered
by tho anticipation of tho ovoning "sing
ing school" that was to cOmo.
Itismoro than likely that Aunt Bet
say know all this, but sho Bat thoro liko
a determined Pato in a brown calico
gown and iluted cap frills. Aunt Betsey
was the autocrat of Redberry farm. Sho
owned the house and the surrounding
acres and tho quartz mill by tho river,
nnd Delia, although by courtesy called
her niece, was in reality only a distant
relation who, if not takcii in and brought
up by old Mrs. Blatchford, would have
been turned over to the tender mercies
of tho town poor house.
"Delia's a good girl enough," said tho
old woman, "and a spry worker as ever
was. But I don't believe in eirls larkinir
around the neighborhood the hull time.
Thoy'ro a deal better off at home, sowin'
on their patch work or cuttiu' rags for n
new kitchen carpet."
"But I promisod tho schoolmaster,
Aunt Botsoy," said poor Delia, her dim
pled faco falling liko tho barometer be
fore a storm. "Ho's to call for mo at
half past 7! And ho will seo mo safe
homo afterward."
"Well, lc hint go away again," said
Aunt Betsey.
Delia could hardly see the glitter of
the knitting noodles through tho tears
that blurred her vision at these, cruol
words.
"There's to be a danco out,in tho old
bant nfterward,'sho ventured, to add,
"and I ironed Jny pink, calico" dres3 so
neatly, and my laces aro all done up!
Oh, Aunt Betsey, I'd work sojhnrd at
tho carpet rags all tho rest of the week
if you would let mo go this once to stag
ing school." "
Aunt Betsey wheeled herself round in
her chair nnd eyed Delia sharply through
tho moon ljko glasses of her big silver
bowed spectucles.
"Well, well, go if you want to," said
she, tartly. "Though all this music is
nothin' but clear waste o' time. In my
young days if wo could join into the
psalm tunes in church it was all folks
expectoJ of us!"
"Everybody plays and sings nowa
days," ventured Delia, whose loftiest and
brightest aspiration was for a melodeon
or a cheap parlor organ of her own.
"Humph!" commented Aunt Betsey.
"They'd a deal better play on tho wash
board nnd sing calling homo tho cows!
That's tho sorto' mnsio that pays!"
Delia sighed and abandoned tho ques
tion. Consent to go to "singing school"
was sufficient of a victory for the pres
ent time. And when Marcus Woyte,
the villago pedagogue, called for her nt
tho specified hour bho was all ready, in
the stiff, rustling, pink dross, tho freshly
ironed laces and n little pair of brown
cotton gloves over frilled ribbon wrist
lets that were entirely now,
"But it's tho last time," sho sighed.
"Aunt Betsey thinks that musio is use
less and nonsensical, and she won't have
me fooling away my time at singing
school, she says."
"Oh, Delia and thoso lessons on the
melodeon that I have been giving you at
Dr. Bartlett's."
"They will all bo of no use," "said
Delia, with a little tremor in her voice,
"Does sho know that people sometime!
earn their living by tho aid of music?"
peruisted Wayte.
"She don't believe it!"
"And you have such a taste for it,
Delial Nay, more than a taste a decided
talont. Oh, we must not let the thing
drop. You must havo a melodeon it
won't cost much to hire ono by the quar
terand go on with your lossonsl"
Delia shook her head.
'It will bo impossible," said she,
nujnrAfully.
"I'll esq about that," said Marcus
Wayto. "My cousin is in the businesw.
I'll snd him to see your anat"
Delia shrugged her pink calico shoul
ders. "Ah," said she, "you don't know
Aunt Beteey!"
"Well," smiled Marcus, "we'll sea,"
Mr. Jves Wityte Usten&a with tlimai
earnest interest to the tale of Ida oonjin,
the schoolmaster.
"Got a roal talent for musio, eh?"
said he.
"A most decided one."
"And poor?"
"She is," answered Marcus. "But the
old lady lias plenty of money, if only she
chose to spend it in this way; and she
ought to do so."
' 'Plenty of money? And plenty of pf&.
judicec, eli?"
"That ig Jt, oxaotly," said Marcus,
smiling.
' ' Very well. I'll promise to do the beet
1 can ft oblige you, Mark. For," ad
ded Mr. Ives Wayto. with a genial
twinkle of the eye, "I eee' your heart i
in tUo unsiuekb,"
"It is," frankly oonfested Marcos.
"For if Dtlia Grey oould be qualified to
givo music' lessons we might 1m married
and tike tho Weirwills academy at once
a day and boarding school, don't you
see' Ami she is tin- deal est little thing."
Mr. Ivi s Wayto Ltiiihol. "It' ua
good as dune," Bald lie.
It was 11 dieury, raim night toward
tlie cl'juu lu that dreariest month of nil
the year- the Mad November when there
eanie a knock at Mrs. lllatvhford'a duor.

Delia Grey had been summoned to the
bedside of a sick neighbor, where she
was to remain until Into. But Mrs.
Blatchford had yet to see the trmnp, tho
wild animal or the tamo ono of whom
sue entertained thti least fear. She got
up and went to the door. There stood a
drlrmine traveler on th tlimdinhi.
"Is Mrs. Nugent's place near here?"
cum o, minng oit ms cap in spite or tho
rain.
"Bless your heart, no!" said Mrs.
Bhttchford. "It'fl nine good miles away
on the other road. How over camo yon
to take this way?"
"I'vo a narlinr nnn limw " mll tu
musio man, glancing backward at the
mm outuno ot a wagon in tho road,
"thnt I was to deliver to Mise Nugent."
"Gtiow you'll hardly deliver it to
night," said Aunt Betsey. "A parlor
Organ, eh? For Mntlldy Nugent? Woll,
I wonder what folly shell bo guilty of
noxt."
"Would yah kindly allow me to bring
.it in here?' asked Mr. Ives Wayto, with
his most ingratiatory air.
1 ",Whnt, in all tho rain?"
"Oh, it is safely packed in rubber
wrappings. It won't injure this nice
new carpet," said tho bland traveler
' "that reminds mo of ono my mother ha
just finished up in Nantucket."
. "Yes," said she, "you may fetch it in.
I never seen a parlor organ. There was
a man camo by with 0110 in plum time
with a monkey nt tho end of a long
string"
"Oh. tlllS is flllifn 11 llifTaroTit- nT.,ii- "
' . .fcv,s,M
winced the musio man. "If I could sleep.
to-nignt m your Darn"
"You needn't do that," said Aunt Bet
sey, quite propitinted by tho humhlo-air
and manner of this chanco visitor.
"There's a spare bedroom opeuin' out of
the kitchen that you'ro welcome to."
"Many thanks, madam." bowed tho
agent. "As I was about to remark, if
you will kindly givo mo houso room 1
should liko to play a few airs for you on
this instrument, iust to show von its
tune and compass."
"Well," said Aunt Betsey, who novor
objected to .1 treat which she could get
for nothinar. "it would lin vntbor n -ml
.for mo to hear Matildy Nugent's organ
aioro sue nearu it norself, wouldn't it,
now? I guess, young man, you may put
it up if it ain't too muph tronblo."
1110 musio man dried himself lfnr
the tire. lie refreshed himself withi
plato of Aunt Betsey's excellent dough
nuts and 11 drink of her niilor. nml tlmn
cheered both in mind and body, ho ap-

room.
"It ain't bad loiikin' ." n.u'd lTrs. TTIntnl,

Mr. Ives Wavto sat drmn hrfnrn ilm
instrument, nnd touched It with a master
hand.
Ho ulaved "Itock of Aires." "RhinW

and a fow such age worn votorans of
melody.
"Kin vou nlav 'Old Rosin tbn Tlmi-?'
suddenlv demanded Aunt. TtfirKPT- wltb
something liko tears in her eyes.
"I think I cnn." said Mr. Ivos Wnv(
-ond-ho ovpkcd tho sadly sweet" chords of
the old time lay with "crescendo" and
"diminuendo" liko tho wail of a human
voice.
"Seems 'most liko 'twis sneakin'." said
Mrs. Blatchford. ' 'I novcr knowod there
was. so much in the parlor organs. Be
thoy very costly, mister?"
Mr, Ives Wayto named the price.
Aunt Betsey hesitated shook her head
pondered.
"It seems a good deal o' monoy," said
she. "But, arterall, what's money? And
Delia. rIio'h drpdfnl fnn1 n' mnci T,
most certain sho could learn to play that
thoro instrument, and it sort o' sounds
nico to hear them old fashioned tunes
that folks used to sing whon I was a gal!
My money's my own, I guess, to do as
ra a mind tor nait denantly. "And J
Willi I say, Mr. Musicman, if you leave
that melodeon just the.ro whoro it stands,
and cart up another for Matildy Nugent,
I'll tako it, and pay you cash down for
it," said Mrs. Blatchford. "There now!"
"Well," said ho, "since yon dosiro it, 1
think it might be mannged. Tho instru
ment is here. That counts for something."
"It's proper -sightly," said Mrs. Blatch
ford. ' 'Delia has been a good, hard work
in' girl. Play that last tune over again,
Mr. Musicninn she's comin' up tho path
now. I heerd the gate' latch creak."
"Am I dreaming?" she cried. "What
is this? How camo it hero? Oh, Aunt
Betsey"
"It's a present I'm goin' to make you,
Delia," said the, old lady, with beaming
eyes. "Come hero and kiss me!" And
I'll hire Miss Barton to givo you music
lessons and we'll take solid comfort out
o' this "ere! Seo if we don't!"
Tlie music man pocketed a roll of bills
and wont his way rejoicing. Marcus
Wayte heard the tiding with great joy.
Little Miss Bartou welcomed the news
of a new scholar with heartfelt thank
fulness and Aunt Betsey went around
the house humming "Those Evening
Bells" nud willing the dust off a new joy
every few minutes.
"It's something to get ahead o' Matildy
Nugent," said she. "And Delia's been a
good, dnjtiful gal all her life!"
"Didn't I tell you it was as good as
done?" said Ives Wnyte to his cousin
when next they met.
"I think," SMdMarotw,laoghiug, "you

strong enough to keep them separate and
