He wags me, though I ought to wag he.

tsr SATIS FACTION GUARANTEED
SOMERSET,
The spacious dressing room of
Albert Carries opened into a passage
connecting with a no less ppacious
apartment, the sewing room of his
sister Frederika.
Through this arrangement there
happened a chain of circumstances
which would have been extremely
obnoxious to Mrs. Grundy, whose
foresight, indeed, had not been con
sulted in the plan.
The young men who visited Al
bert on the most intimate terms, and1
who without exception, if not lovers,
were certainly admirers, of Miss
Frederika, found it very delightful tr
saunter through the passage from
the masculine boudoir of the broth
er into the sanctum ol his sister
whenever the open door allowed.
Edward Lovell, whose engage
ment to Miss Frederika Carnes bad
been formally asnounced, was the
only one who seldom entered the
tell-tale precinct, where already del
icate embroideries, Gnest of line lin
en, and exquisite Mechlin and Val
enciennes anticipated the exigencies
of an approaching day.
In this well lighted apartment ot i
sewing all the cases sent from raris
with the season s surprising cos
tumes were deposited and opened ;
m this apartment two seamstresses
were forever bending over the nee
dle, one plying it industriously by
hand, the other ex machina evolv
ing tne elaborate stitcnery. tne
first was an old maid of antediluvian
prestige, who, although her piercing
black eyes were fixed on her stitch-
1 . so ai
es, Lever lost eight ol an outsiae
glance or motion ; and who, deaf as
an adder, insisting that every order
should be bawled into her left ear,
heard with her right every syllable
whispered or spoken.
The other was a youg creature
who worked upon tbe se ffing ma
chine, a delicate girl eighteen years
of age, graceful in figure, with a face
gentle, yet piquant, soft brown hair
coiled carelessly around a trow
fresh-white as a pearl, soft brown
eyes and lips. Frederika Carnes
was really fond of her little st-wing-maid.
She inquired into the history
of the young girl, and learned that
she supported by ber labor an in
firm and widowed mother, and,
moreover, that in the approaching
spring she was to be married to a
young man with whom she was in
ove truly, an undertater by trade.
One evening in the February twi
ight the working hour was ptst.
and the old maid seamstress had j
gone home two young men entered
the room. Josie ilarte, bending
over the clicking machine, was des
perately in earnest finishing some
important work. She did not glance
up at the entrance. Joseph Bell
threw himself full length upon a so
fa. He was possessed with an idea
that he was personally irresistible
to the pretty sewing girL He laugh
ed in his sleeve at "the absurdity of
Harrison's supposing he had any
winning chance there." Spencer
Harrison drew an arm chair close to
Josie's side.
Josie went on working. But
through the steady low noieof the
work 6he heard she could not but
hear, and indeed she had often heard
. " t c vv : ?
me same strain oeiore iiamaon g
protestations of love.
1 am engaged to be married.
said Josie Harte, lifting her eyes
once, and only once, as she changed
the work, beneath her needle.
"To some coarse, laborious man,
11 be bound," said Harrison, who
will make you stitch and drudge to
your life' end. Josie, you were not
made for this. Every turn of your
graceful head, every gesture of that
dear little hand, protests against it.
lou shall not sacrifice yourself, Jo
sie.
Josie Harte arose and left tbe
room. In a closet oi tne aujoming
corridor her shawl and bonnet hung.
n a moment she had put them on.
Quickly she was at the front door
quickly she was in the street. But
scarcely had tbe gone the distance
of a block when footsteps sped be
hind ber. Spencer Harrison, with
his passionate eyes ablaze, and his
lips pale beneath his black mus
tache, had followed and approached
her. Again he was at her sidi
"Josie, you provoking little witch,
you are flying, I know, but you can
not fly away from me. Love is the
winged god, ma petite. Is it noth
ing, nothing to you, Miss Harte,
that you are making my life misera
ble? nothing to you that I adore
you, that I-truly Chi you must
know it!"
Jos
;e.
This
-Leave me, said
moment leaye me."
"Never," said Harrison never
until"
Through the deepening dusk, and
with pace quickened like their own,
some one came to Josie. A gentle
man, waiting bnt a second for per
mission, drew ber arm within his
own. It was Edward LovelL He
had seen the rapid movement of the
girl, and the expression of tbe man
that followed her. Appreciating the
situation in a moment, he determ
ined to save her from annoyance if
possible. ,
His good intention was net mis
placed. When Josie Harte reached
the dingy door of her humble home,
she said to Edward Lovell, with sin
cere fervor : j
"I shall never forget your kind
ness." 4-
"Our last drive in the park," said
Frederika, turning her dark eyes,
sufficiently eloquent of a flection to
satisfy the most exacting lover, upon
Edward Lovell.
"The last this season," he suggest
ed. They were driving in a landau,
with Albert Carnes and Spencer Har
rison fitting opposite. Crowding up
Fifth Avenue, their talk was inter
rupted ; it was not until they had
entered the park, and had somewhat
escaped the throng, that Albert
Carnes said to his sister :
"Freddie, show Edward that ring.
I'd like to have him say now he has
no respect for African diamonds.
Two thirty caret stones; Spence," he
added, turning to Harrison, "of the
first water, and a perfect match. For
my part I prefer other qualities be
inir eaual these brilliant off-color
Stores. When I'm engaged to be
married, my engagement ring shall
be an African solitaire. I like the
sunny tinge of the southern ada
mant" Fredericka drew off her soft gray
glove, and Edward Lovell, ever sen
sitive to the least display of her re
fined charms, glanced warmly at the
little lily white hand. She took from
the forefinger of the hand not engagement-pledged
a. diamond ring.
The eyes of Spencer Harrison and
of Albert Carnes n ere fixed upon
the jewel. 'Edvard Lovell glanced
at it vaguely. He had already,
however, taken it into his hand.
"Very beautiful," he said. "These
, . . .
cape diamonus nave nre. 10 say
the least. One could " He paus
ed. He bad seemed, as he spoke, in
the act of returning tbe ring. Sud
denly it had escaped from his fin
gers. He looked for it It was
gone.
"Give me my ring, then, Ned, if it
is so fiery," said gentle Frederika.
"I like to keep to myself all that
burns."
"Where is it?" asked Lovell, be
wiltlered.
"You have dropped it," Albert ex
claimed, moving so as to look en
the floor of the carriage.
"Give back the ring, Lovell," said
Harrison. "You took it, you know.
Come, that's not fair."
"Where is it?" reiterated Lovell.
The diamond ring had vanished.
"Oh, somewhere in the carriage".
said Frederika, somewhat petuantly,
drawing on her glove. "We Bhall
find it when we get home."
. But the diamond ring was not
found. The expressive face of Al
bert Carnes wore a grave frown when
the group alighted and the carriage
was searched.
"It could not possibly," he said
to Frederika, "have fallen outside."
"What do you mean," asked his
pister, alarmed to her hearts core.
She was as pale as the white lace
scarf that she had drawn close
arodnd her throat in nervous self
infoldment from the hour.
"The engagement of Edward Lov
ell and Frederika Carnes is broken
off," said Kumor, knocking at every
"in society" door. Miss Carnes is
the chief actor in the unhappy af
fair. Edward Lovell has accepted a
foreign partnership in the mercan
tile house to which he belongs, and
has sailed for England in view of a
permanent residence ab oad. Rumor
added that Lovell's departure was
hastened to avoid a threatened ex
posure of circumstances Beriously
detrimental to his good name.
And all this happened n account
of the mysterious loss of Frederika 's
diamond ring. The rumor that took
bodily shape in the world's ear was
the consolidated form of innumera
ble whispers in the tete-a-tete of par
lors and the clubs. Spencer Harri
son was accountable for the most
subtle injurious of these scandalous
breiths. To use his own phrase of
thought "he owed Lovell a
grudge," and fate had given him an
opportunity ef paying this ignoble
debt
As for Frederika, she could not
stem the current of prejudice which
had so cruelly set against her lover
but with her. whole soul she main
tained her faith in his. innocence.
Her relatives had used authority to
annul the engagement, but the girl
secretly vowed that she wou'd be
the wile of no other man.
A year had passed. Josie Harte,
whobe marriage had been postponed
because her infirm mother needed
day and night a daughter's care, an
swered at last the inquiries of Miss
Carnes, made a few weeks after the
burial of Mre. Harte. "I have fixed
iny wedding for this day fortnight"
"I wisli you all happiness, my
good Josie,'' said Frederika, with a
smile and a sigh. "And now you
will give me tbe pleasure to add a
few trifles to your trousseau, since
you were ah, I do not forget it s
interested in mine."
Among the many useful gifts and
the many not useful but quite pleas-!
urable bits of finery that Miss Carnes
pressed upon the acceptance of Jo
sie Harte was a silk costume which
for a twelvemonth bad hung in the
dark of a seldom-visited cedar
closet
"Do you know," said the sweet
girl, "that I hardly like to give you
this, and yet I will, hoping that
time has taken from it whatever ill
luck it had. For, Josie, this is the
carriage dress I wore the day I lost
all the happiness of my life. I felt
that I ought to tell you this ; but
you need not be superstitious about
it, for happy love makes all things
right"
Josie accepted the gift, but not
without a superstitious misgiving,
with which she compromised by de
termining that she would alter the
fashion of the costume at once.
The enterprising young undertak
er, who, in spite of the solemnity of
his trade, bad found, as Josie said,
his business 'bo good," and who was
one of the sunniest-hearted beings in
tbe world, encountered at last the
"compensation" of bis good times in
the verified fact "that the coarse of
tue love did never yet run smooth.'
The postponement of his marriage
tor a year, truly as he respected Jo
sie s hiial devotion, bad occasioned
him continued regret: and now.
fortnight before his wedding day, at
tne last moment, it seemed fate had
a great trial iu store for him.
One evening he noticed that Jo
sie's manner showed unusual seri
ouiness; but be "laughed it off,"
thinking, fondly, "when she is
married woman she shall have no
care."
Just as he was about to close his
visit, Josie said :
"Robert, I want to speak to you
about something.
"Speak away, darling," said her
lover, possessing himself of what
Harrison had called "that dear little
hand," and quite content to listen
Robbie, you know I have two
hundred dollars in the bank. It
would have been more, but "
"I know it, child." said Robert re
laxing slightly the clasp of the small
band.
"Well, dear," said Josie, speaking
verv quickly and softly, "1 wanted
to keep that money or rather I
meant to keep it for a rainy day.
But now, all of a sudden, I want to
spend it. And 1 want to spend it in
a ridiculous way, and you will
think it a ridiculous way, and I
think so. too, looking at it in one
light But never mind, Robbie, I
want to cross the ocean don't start
6o, that's nothing much nowadays
to cross the ocean and come right
back. Oh, right back, you may be
sure, dear Robbie 1 But even that
will defer ur wedding day a little
while. Hush. Don't say a word.
You have good faith in me, Robert ;
you have shown that to me always,
and without it, heaven knows you
would not want me for your little
wife, as I shall be, dearest Well, on
Saturday and my passage is taken
I am to 6ail. My heart is set upon
it"
And on Saturday, Robert actually
crying 'tis a pity such uncommon
things should be crying like a
child upon the seasick wharf whence
the jubilant looking steamship de
parted Josie sailed.
A foggy night in London a fog
gy night succeeding a foggy day ;
the fifteenth foggy night, succeeding
fifteen foggy days. Very depressing
to an American.
Edward Loell leaving his office
late, and wearily wending his way
to his lodgings, looked, this dismal
night, oh, how much older than he
looked a year ago. He had always
been a thoughtful, he was now a
sorrowful, man. His grief had told
upon him. Those vague, deadly
rumors could any prosperity in
business, any kindness, any admira
tion extended to him in his new
field of career, ever dispel them ?
And Frederika would her faith die
at last of the slow poison ?
Reaching his lodgings, Edward
Lovell found a visitor awaiting him.
"A young woman : a foreigner, I
think, sir ; very respectable like.
She insisted on waiting, sir."
The young man did not recognize
his visitor. She made herself known
to him as the sewing girl who work
ed for Miss Carnes.
"Oh, do you not remember, sir ?"
she said. "Once you were so kind
to me."
Then Josie Harte put into the
hand of Edward Lovell a little ob
ject which bhe had found inclosed in
a box pleat of a carriage dress, which
a "fortnight before her wedding she
had been remodeling."
A diamond ring the diamond
ring! Edward Lovell, strongly nerv
ed man as he was, turned pale and
staggered at the sight of it
The day Frederika Carnes, driv
ing in the park with her lover, show
ed him her ring, it slipped from his
fingers, and lodged unseen in the
opon pleat of her skirt's goffered
flouncing.
Josie Harte, the humble, obscure
sewing girl to whom Edward Lovell
had shown a brief chivalric kindness,
had crossed the ocean to put into
his own hands the clew alike of his
evil and good fortune.
"Take back this ring."
A Simple Steam Bath.
The following simple directions,
by following which a bath may be
obtained by those who are not pos
sessed of those doubtful luxuries
called "modern conveniences," are
extracted from an article by Dr. II.
Engel, in the Medical Jteporti'r. The
treatment has especial reference to
catarrhal jaundice :
" To assist nature still more I have
the patient take a steam bath every
night on going to bed. As one or
the other of the young practitioners
may not be familiar with the easiest
and cheapest method of procuring
such a bath I will explain my mo
dus operandi :
lhe room in which the patient
is to take the bath is brought to a
temperature of 74 deg., as determin
ed by the thermometer to prevent
chilling ; the patient, perfectly na
ked, Bits on a high-cane-seat chair,
and is totally enveloped in a large
blanket, pinned tightly round the
neck, his feet resting on the blanket,
and the latter covering him and the
chair, and the little space within it
air-tight. The b'anket is so arrang
ed that the open fold is at the back.
tnder the chair stands a bucket or
a small tub, half filled with cold
water. Into this tub or pail gradu
ally, one after another, three half
pieces of "red-hot" brick are thrown
and the blanket is once again fold
ed up. Certainly, aa f.oon as the
hot bricks come in contaci with the
water a sudden and rapid evolution
of steam takes place, which being
confined to the small space within
the blanket, soon causes the patient
to fall into a most thorough sweat
The first and second time the skin
does not respond very actively, but
every day tne perspiration increases.
If the patient feels uncomfortable
his haads, etc.. all being confined
within the blanket the nurse will
give him a mouthful or two of cold
water to drink, and snonire off his
forehead and face with a sponge
dipped in cold w; ter. These two
procedures give a great relief.
hen the patient is almost
through with his forced perspiration
one of the attendants takes a hot
i'on and goes over the bed-sheets
with it so as to warm thoroughly
the bed of the sick person. A hot
iron wrapped in rags, or a bottle
filled with hot water may be put at
the foot of the bed. Then the pa
tient is released from the "sweat
box," and immediately a large bed-
sheet, which has been during all
this time hanging near the fire, is
thrown over him and he is thorough
ly dried. Dress-ng himself in his
warired garments, he retires to his
warmed bed, while the steam-bath
apparatus is removed, and the blan
ket hung ont to be well aired and
dried.
I have been so particular about
these directions first for the reasons
given above, and then because I
wish to impresa the reader with the
necessity of using the utmost cau
tion that the patient during this pro
cedure does not become chilled.
While I have seen the greatest ben
efit arise from this steam bath, and
improved with it cases that did not
seem to yield to any other mode of
treatment, I have observed irrepara
ble injury being done for want of
the caution alluded to. In one
case I am positive that a patient
had a relapse and died within
twelve day?, because, when coming
out of the bath and feeling so well,
as he had not for many a long day.
he had run, "just for the fun of the
thing," after a friend out into the
cold entry."
I'ointerw Kor ths Youbk Main Who

My son, you will cast your first
vote for President next November.
I don't want to intlenco your vote.
I dont want you to vote for a cer
tain man just because certatn other
men do. I want you to sit down
and think about it before you vote.
I want you to go to the polls in
good company. As a young man
of progressive ideas, I want you to
be abreast of the world and shoulder
to shoulder with the times when
yon walk up to the polls. I want
you on entering politics to align
with the party that has the purest,
progressive record. I don t care a
cent, my boy, whether you are a
Republican or a Democrat. There
are honest men, patriotic citizens,
good Christians, in both parties.
Only I don't want to see you walk
up to the pelb and cast your first
vote with the party
That upheld human slavery as a
divine institution;
That bought and sold men, wo
men and babies like so many
mules ;
That fired on Fort Sumter and the
American flag;
That for nearly five years fought
to destroy the Union :
That opposed the issue of green
backs when the Government was
fairly perishing for want of them ;
That organized mobs and riots to
oppose the draft ;
That swept American com
merce from the seas with armed pri
vateers ;
That is the party of Boss Tweed
and Jefferson Davis;
That polls its heivif.t majorities
in the most vicious and ignorant
precincts ;
That is strongest in the States
where the percentage of illiteracy is
grratest ;
That has opposed every liberal
and progressive measure in legis
lation during the last quarter of a
century ;
Thnt was the defender of slavery ;
That is the defender of Mormon
isni ;
That slandered Garfield : and
That assassinated Lincoln.
Now, as I said before, my son. I
don't care whether you are a Re
publican or a Democrat Choose
for yourself. Just keep away from
the crowd whose record I have very
briefly outlined. Find the party to
whom this record belongs, and then
forever keep away from it. You
need not be particular with which
party you unite, if you don't join
that one. Always vote against that
party, and you will always , vote
about right. I am a Republican,
but I shake hands with fraternal
love with any Democrat who votes
against that record. That kind of a
Democrat is always a good enough
Republican for me.

Wanted Hia Leg !UraJgfctsM-4.
u It was after the battle of West
Point, and there was a Frenchman
in our regiment, I forget his name,
but he was in Company A. Well,
lie had his leg broken by a ball a
compound fracture above th knee
and it had to Ire taken oil' at the
thigh. He stood it well, and did
not want to have chloroform, but
they made him. Well, this leg it
was his left one being taken off so
high up, you see, there was a good
deal of it, and the boys did not want
to throw it out into a hole, so they
looked about for something to bury
it in. At last they found a cracker
box, but to get it in they had to
double it up, bend the knee sharply
and turn the foot back, which they
did, nd then buried k.
After the Frenchman came around
he was uneasy. There was not
much pain, he said, but he wished
to goodness he could straighten his
leg out ; hia left, he said, felt ail
4 kinked up.' But you haven't got
a left leg,' we told him.
'No, I know that,' he replied,
' but, morbleu ! it feels all kinked up
just the same."
Well, I did net knew anything
about the burying of his leg, and
when he said this to me I thought
it was just the ordinary pain after
the operation, though I had never
heard any one el9e describe the pain
so, and 1 believed it would pass off.
But it did not He got wore and
more uneasy, and kept declaring
that his left leg was cramped, and
if he could only straighten it out it
would be all right He went on
this way so badly that at length
one of the boys who had buried the
leg got scared, and without telling
him, he went and dug up the leg,
straightened it out, and rcburied it
without the hex."
" Well, gentlemen, do you know
that before that boy had got back,
the Frenchman was easy as a lamb.
' Ah, but, morbleu ! that is better!'
he cried out suddenly. ' Yes, that's
better, that's better,' and for ten or
fifteen minutes he went on just as if
he had really been relieved by hav
ing his leg straightened out He
never said another word about being
cramped, but declared his leg was
perfectly easy now. It wasn't till,
maybe, a week afterward, that we
told him what had been done, and
then all he said was :
Ah ! but I knew my leg was
kinked up all the time.'
" There, gentlemen, you may try
to explain that how you like ; you
may believe it or not as you like :
but all I can say is I saw it, ana
there were plenty of others who
knew about it at the same time,
too."

Iriven off.
A night or two ago a watchman
ou one of the wharves saw a young
man come rushing down in hot
haste, stop short at the edge of the
wharf, and, after peering at the dark
waters for a moment, he was heard
to exclaim :
"I called, but 6he was not in! I
wrote to her, but the letter was re
turned unopened! It is the work of
her hard hearttd father!"
lie walked up and down, as if
bracing his nerves, and presently
continued :
"Shall I live with this gnawing at
my heart, or shall I die to prove my
devotion ?"
The toot ! toot ! of a tug coming
up the river was the only answer.
V ben I am missed will any
body's heart beat the faster?" he
went on. "When my dead body is
hauled from the river, and the coro
ner goes through my pockets, will
any body shed tears 1 Will the sight
of my pale and sunken face be an
accuser to that flint hearted fath
er?"
A proireller boomed her old whistle
in sad response.
"I will die!" he exclaimed, with
sudden energy, but the watchman
came forth and seized him by the
neck, and pointing him up the street,
said :
"You great big call Go along
home and soak your head in soap
suds 1 The idea of such a fellow as
you coming around here to splash
into the water and keep a poor, hon
et t watchman out of his hard-earned
sleep! Skip!"
And fifteen minutes later the
young man was calling for pork and
beans in a restaurant Detroit Free

One morning, when the Duke of

mision and his ship, was on bis way
to his tailor's in Plymouth, to get

hesaw a boy crying, and stopped to
inquire the cause. The lad looked
up through his tears, revealing a
handsome, winning and intelligent
face, and replied that his mother had
died only a few days before, and
that he had been cast homeless into !
the streets. "Where is your father?"
asked the Prince. "He was lost in
the Sussex, on the Cornwall coast,
two years ago." "How would you
like to go to sea in a first-rate man-of-war?"
The boy's face brighten
ed as he answered that he
should like it verywell. The
Prince took out his pocketbook
and wrote something upon a slip of
paper which he gave to the boy,
with a shilling. "Go down to the

A Great Surprise.

Balsam for the throat and lung, the! sense;
The battle-field of Waterloo as it
lies to-day is an uninspiring specta
clea good place to sit down and
muse on life ami men and the van
ity of human things; but we have a
vivacious little guide who spared no
time for musing, but engaged us
with a very dramatic recital in brok
en, though quite intelligible, English
of the stirring things that happened
on that bloody Sunday in
when Bonaparte's brief candle went
out and the European kaleidoscope
rattled itself into a fresh combina
tion. I can't help sympathizing
with the bottom dog. The dramat
ic symmetry of Napoleon's career
wins us against our reason.
I went out to Waterloo with some
Englishmen, and I took solid com
fort in giving them ray small opin
ion of their Iron Duke, although we
must allow that he did this business
very handsomely.
But that guide. I shall not soon
forget him. He made more of an
impression on me than all the books
I have read on the subjectjof Water
loo. He omitted nothing. He open
ed his soul to us, and he suited the
action to the word. He gesticulated,
he attitudinized, in short, he fought
the battle over again for us. His
English was double English. He
was especially happy in his "hup,
guards, hand hat hem !" He recited
this thrilling incident over his shoul
der as he led us down the hundred
and odd steps that mounted the
summit of Mound of the Lion, and
it was only by the most extraor
dinary presence of mind that I
grasped the railing in time te escape
a fall.
The Mound of the Lion is an arti
ficial elevttion which has been reared
(very ill-advisedly, I think) in the
midst of the field and of its earth,
thereby modifying the configuration
of the landscape, so that one can not
now gain so accurate an idea of the
battle-ground as might otherwise
have been obtained unless, indeed,
the loss is compensated by the fact
that the summit of the mound af
fords a commanding view.
The tranquility of the scene is im
pressive, and one is reminded of
Byron's line :
"How ttat red rain has mail? the harvest
grow."
I never saw a fairer stretch of
country bills and valleys and wind
ing roads and shining villages.
Every feature of this sweet land
scape played its part in the drama
of that day. On the right is
the Chateau of Hougomont, against
which, all day long, tbe French lines
