Tba Girdle of Frieodabim.
O LIT Em WEXDKLL HOLMES.
She gathered at Uer slender waiat
The beaateoos robe sbe wore ;
Its foldi golden belt embraced.
One rose-hued gem it bore.
The girdla shrank ; its lessening round
Still kept the shining gem,
Bat now ber flowing locks it bound,
A lustrous diadem.
And narrower stilt the circlet grew ;
Behold ! A flittering band,
Its roseate diamond set anew.
Her neck's white column spanned.
Suns rise and set ; the straining clasp
The shortened links resist,
Yet flashes In a bracelet's grasp
The diamond on her wrist.
At length, the round of changes past,
The thieviny years could bring,
The jewel, glittering to the last.
Still sparkles in a ring.
So, link by ling, onr friendships part.
So loosen, break and fall,
A narrowing zone; the loving heart
Lives changeless through them all.
ALEX VERNO.V.
"Uimmi listen! T hoard a oman'"
and little Helen Hawthorne sprang
from ber low seat by the warm fire
side, the rich glow deepening on her
fair cheek, and a sudden excitement
leaping into ber dark gray eyes.
"Nonsense, dear I" answered the
mother after a moment's silence.
"It was your imagination. My lit
tle girl is fanciful to night" and she
bent to Btroke back the thicklv clus
tering curls from the low, white brow,
as she pressed a fond fervent kiss
upon it
It was a pretty figure upon which
the firelight danced and flickered
that cold Christmas cight-the warm,
luxurious room, with the tall, ele
gant woman in its midst and the
little daintily dressed child by her
side.
Without, the wind swept bv, hurl
ing great masses of snow on its wings,
and dashing through the bare, lear
less branches of the trees.
The child shuddered as she listen
ed to its moan.
"I am quite sure I heard it mam
ma. bUDDoee any one was out on
such a night It would be dreadful.
Let me open the door a moment
just a moment 1"
.And. without waiting lor the re
fusal trembling on the mother's lips
she darted forward and threw open
the great outside door.
In another instant tbe nell sent a
sharp peal through the house, for on
the very threshold lay a prostrate
bodv. already half buried in the
shroodinesnow.'
Five minutes later and the lad bad
been carried to a sofa, and restora
tives given him.. . .
"Will he live, mamma? Do you
think he will live?"
But in answer te her question, the
lids slowly lifted themselves, and
the great black eyes rested wonder
ingly on the childs face, bending so
anxiously over him.
llad tne death be thought so near
indeed overtaken him, and was this
heaven he bad reached?
He feared to waken from his
dream, and find himself again hope
less, and starving, and cold.
With a long drawn sigh be closed
his eyes, only to find the fascination
of the present overcome him, and
impel him to again gaze on his sur
roundings.
But his wonder only deepened
when the reality was brought home
to him when he' discovered that it
was life, not death, and earth, not
heaven, and that he was not to be
driven out again into the cold and
bitter night
Through its long, silent hours be
lay motionless in this warm resting
Dlace. picturing in the darkness, the
child's face until it became stereo
typed on heart and brain.
The next day he told his story.
He was a poor lad, orphaned and
friendless. They discharged me
from my last place," he said, "be
cause I carried a book about with
me, and the boss said it would teach
me to dream instead of work. I was
only trying to learn something in
my idle minutes, though I couldn't
find much time, and I didn't take
my employer's. However, he was
a hard, stern man, and bade me go.
I started V est. 1 he little money l
had gave out The storm overtook
me. I struggled on as best I could,
until I grew faint and sick. Some
where in the distance l saw a light.
I struggled toward it
"You know the rest. Jow l am
strong and well again, the storm is
over, and I can only thsnk you in'a
few poor words for your generous
kindness, and go my way."
"Papa will be borne this after
noon." answered the child. "He is
the owner of all the mills about here.
If you would like, I will ask him to
give you a place ; and there is a
school at night for the hands, bo you
can study too."
-If I would like!"
It was all he said, but little Helen
Hawthorne needed no other words.
Sbe knew that a great lump in his
throat had choked bis further utter
ance and that he had turned away
ashamed, to hide the tears.
The next week saw her promise
fulfilled, and Alex Vernon stood
once more a man among men. He
found a place in the night school,
too. Nor did bis young patroness
forget him. In seme way sbe dis
covered the books be needed, and
lent thesa to him, until be grew to
associate ber with every good thing
of bis new life. One morning she
sent for him.
"I am going to Europe with
mamma, Alex," she said, "to be
gone a great many years. - When I
came back I bope to find you a man
perhaps papa's o veneer. I wanted
to tell you that if you wanted any
books from the library, I would
leave this key with you and yos.
might come op and get them."
The soaligbt was streaming full
on ber face and the gold of her hair, !
as she spoke, but to tbe boy listen-
ing, a dark mist seemed to rou oe-,
tween them. She was going away
for years-she who had saved him
from death, or worse than death..

EST A "BT'THTTKO 1827.
SOMERSET, PAi; Y7EDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 18,
She could not know that he went
oat to throw bitneell face downward,
on the ground, and sob oat like a
err child hit heart's bitterness. - '
a ; a . . . . a : a
Seren long years 1 passed swiftly
by, and Alex Vernon had reached
his twentf-fifth . winter. Helen
Hawthorne's last words had been to
him a prophesy, for she was now on
her homeward way, and he had at
tained the position of htid oreraeer
of the works. '' "
"My little girf mads the best se
lection for me after all," Mr. Hw
thorne would ofteu say on receiving
congratulations on the efficiency of
his young assistant '
Occasionally he would read him a
scrap or kind message from his
daughter's letters ; bat Alex received
them all in silence. He had lost
the little golden haired child forever.
She would return A woman, grown
cold, haughty and? proud, perhaps
refusing to cast even a smile across
the vast gulf yawning between them.
One morninr be had been ab
sent a week on business he return
ed ta find a difficult piece of ma
chinery about to be adjusted in
one of the mills, which required his
Fuperintendence. ' Directinc the
men he saw that not only his eye
but his hand ceuld do .better work
than the others, and so seizing a
workman's blouse hanging near, he
slipped it on, and in another mo
ment had his shoulder to the wbeeL
A half-hour later, soiled and be
grimed, he heard the rustle of a silk
en dress and the silvery ripple of a
woman's laugh. 1
He glanced op quickly.
A gay party was passing through
the works, with one among them
seeming a princess surrounded by
her followers. The gold still fleck
ed her hair, and the dark lashes
"wept the cheek of purest ivory.
lime had made her more beautiful.
She glanced idly indifferently,
among the little group of men, of
which he formed one.
"I see no one here I recognize.1
she said, in the old, sweet, soft voice
and passed on. She had come home
thea during his abt ence. He had
seen ner. Ine seven years waiting
were over. Wnat bad they
brought ?
The machinery slipped into its
place, but Alex Vernon, with a
strange pallor on his face, went out
silently from the mills. Not, as
once before to find relief in tears.
He was a man now. : He only knew
that a bitter disappointment, to
which he had given no name had
overtaken him.
; Far out into the open country he
walked, with great strides, knowing
neither fatigue nor consciousness
that it was unnatural that he should
not tire.
v Suddenly on the road behind him.
came a horses quick hoofs. He
stepped aside for it to pass, but Um
naer arew rein at nis side. -"It
is Alex," said a awset voice,
quite near to him. "I know that I
am not mistaken." v .
And as in a dream he saw held
out to him a tiny gauitleted hand,
He looked at his own. Not even
bad be washed away the traces of
his recent toil. He would soil by
his touch even her glove, although
the fair whiteness of her skin was
thereby protected.
She saw his hesitation, and drew
back.
"Am I wrong?" she questioned,
in a little hurt surprise. I thought
you would be glad to sea me ?"
"Pardon me I" he answered : "mv
hands were stained."
"Oh P she said.
Then after a moment's pause, she
added :
When yon have washed them
clean come to see me."
And touching her horse with a
silver handled whip, sbe dashed Dast
him out of sight
The next week he was invited to
dine at her father's table. Mr. Haw
thorne would accept no excuse.
"It is in our country an honor to
be a self-made man. I have no
guests of whom I shall be more
proud."
But when he entered the elegant
ly appointed drawing-rooms, Altes
Hawthorne gave him simdy a cour
teous bow of recognition and made
no effort to approach him.
Once or twice during the meal he
found her eyes fastened on his face,
as he was drawn on to speak on this
or that topic as it was presented,
while one and another mingled in
the discussion, deferring to his opin
ions as to those of a man who un
derstood himself.
The ice once broken, he met' her
often,but never once had their hands
touched.
He was admitted even into her
circle now. He went only that he
mieht see her and listen to her voice.
With her, he never forgot the cold
night the driving snow, the sense
less, inanimate form she had brought
back to life, and light and conscious
ness. He gave no name either to
his pain or his exquisite happiness
at being near her. He was in the
n.alaJLn . lt it ki'n. t
it would.
The summer came; and on its
wings it brought the whisper that
Miss Hawthorne was to be married
in tbe autumn. '
Tbe day be beard it be went oat,
as once before, to walk off the pang
that made his former pain seem
nothing.
Was it fate that as be turned into
a path leading through the woods,
he descried ahead the slight grace
ful figure be knew but too well ? '
She was coming toward him. '
In another ' minute they must
meet; but even in that minute some
tving comic, between. ..There wae a
sudden rustling of the boshes. He
beard a low cry from ber lips, as a
large dog sprang en to tbe path, his
blood-shot eyes and frothing lips be
traying bis uisdnsss .The creature
sprang toward her, but tbe man was
quicker. -t

amssement she stood still.

Thea be remembered thai in hi
pocket was a pistol he had carried
for protection when at night he had
been entrusted with money by ' the
firm.' He told ber where to find it
"Hold him a minute longer T sbe
said. i
The next a sharp shot rang oat on
the sir, his hands relaxed and the
brut fell bleeding at his feet.
He turned toward her. 1
She was very pale, and the pistol
bad fallen from ber' hold, but bsx
eyes were fixed on his hands.
"Are they washed clean?" sh
said.
"Yes," he answered, "though I
have saved your life for another
man. I whs have dared to love
you."
"There is but ne man," she said,
"to whom I will belong, and he it is
who tor my sake has dared to face a
most awful death. Alex, it needed
this to lay bare our souls one to tbe
other."
lben sbe burst into bitter weep
ing, bat ber tears fell on bis breast
How Wooscn are treated ia Europe.
A correspondent of the Pittsburg
Telegraph, writing from Interlaken,
says : "Yesterday I saw the most
surprising eight that has greeted my
eye for many months a man draw
ing a large handcart, piled high
with hay, aud a woman, riding with
folded hands as natural as if women
were born to this sort of thing in
Europe. Had these two been re
versed, whateverourfeeling.it would
not have been one of surpnse. Had
the woman been harnessed in that
eart with a dog, both pulling with all
their might while tbe man rode, it
would have been much more con
sistent with the peasant's idea of
the position of women. Just before,
we saw a woman high up in a cher
ry tree picking the trait ; while a
man lay at the foot,waiting to place
tbe ladder when she should be ready
to come down with her burden. I
saw a woman in Holland draw a
canal boat bent nearly double with
the leather harness, as sne trudged
along the tow path, a man sitting at

The fotlowing rules, published in
Farm and Fireside, are worth heed
ing by those who believe that an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure: . ..
Never lean with tbe back upon
anything that is cold. . . ,
iever begin a journey until the
breakfast has been eaten., .
Never take warm drinks and then
immediately go out in the cold-
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulder-blades., well

also, the chest well protected. In
sleepiog in a cold room established
the habit of breathing through the
nose, and never . vim ibe mouth
open. .,. .
Never go to bed with cold or
damp feet -
Nevr omit regular bathing, for
unless the skin is in active condi
tion the cold will close the pores
and favor congestion or other
disease.
After exercise of any kind never
ride in an open carriage or near
the window of a car for a mement
it is dangeroas to health and even

When hoarse speak ss little as
possible until the hoarseness is re
covered from, else the voice may be
permanently lost or difficulties of
the throat produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire,
and never continue keeking tbe

LOVE AXO POTASH.
A Utile Roaaaace HI agios) aa the Bur
ry of a Dead Industry of Bohemia.
."There's what broke up my home
aad made me come over to Amer
ica." The speaker was an employe in a
large soap factory on tb West side.
He was pointing to some drums of
imported soda as he spoke.
'"1 was born in Bohemia, among
the mountains, in a little village.
Our chief industry was making lye,
and sometimes soap. I think half
of the people made their living that
way ; my family did. When I was
a little boy I was sent out every day
with my brother and other little
bovs to gather leaves and twigs.
The best were those of the fir, but
we took everything, r Wed build big
bonfires in dry weather, and the mo
ment the ashes and embers were
cold we'd throw them into bins un
der low sheds. Below these sheds
were what you'd call leach tubs.
Some of these were old barrels saw
ed in half ; some, and they belonged
to the poorer folks, were heavy wil
low baskets. One I remember was
square, built out of bricks, with a
door on the side. We used to fill j
the tubs with ashes, and pour as i
much water on them as they'd hold.
When it ran through, it would run
into a small bucket This was what
used to be lye. It was too weak to
sell or to use to make soap., and so
we'd boil it down. Sometimes we'd
sell it when it was boiled down very
strong, but generally we let it boil
till it was dry. What was left was
good potash, and that we'd sell to a
rich man in the village, who'd tend
loads of it away to foreign countries
If the potash was gray we got a good
price for it but if it was red or brown
we got less money and also got a
good thrashing trom our parents.
"Down the road was my father's
cousin, who was the best soapmaker
in the barony. He made a soft soap
from our potash and hard soap from
potash and common salt He had a
pretty daughter she's my wife now,
and when sbe was lo sbe was as
good a soap boiler as her father. 1
was about 17 when times began to
grow quite hard.. The village mer
chant didn t buy as much potash or
soap, ano wnat ne aid Day ne paiu
less for. And then the men who'd
start out in the spring with a wagon
to peddle tba-aam-. wares found
things just as bad everywhere. We
thought it came from the wars that
were going on, and that good old
prices would come back before long.
When I got to be 20 I was my wife's
beau, and the old folks agreed that
we should marry two years after
and keep ap the family trades in
tbe old places. Well, we married,
but net there, and I've never been
there since. , r
"You see it came about like this.
I went down to the village one day
with a load of potash and soap, and
called as usual on the merchant
For tbe first time he refused to buy
the latter, and offered so small a
price for tbe former that I began to
laugh. But when be took oat of a
box some foreign soap and offered
it to me at half tbe price I wanted,
and explained to me how tbe French
and English were making soda and
potash in big factories out of rocks
that cost almost nothing, I saw my
business was ruined. The news ran
through the village, and everybody
was very blue. I was particularly
blue when I thought of Gretchen.
Many tried to fight it out but they
nearly starved. Most of us wander
ed away to other countries, and I
came over to America, wnere a ve
been ever since. And a little over a
year after I landed I sent for ! y
sweetheart and she came over and
we were married." New York Sun.

ferine, which for fifteen years had
not an . alleviating circumstance.
When a girl at the age of 10 she
was ptrickea,. with rheumatism. A
season of treatment at the bands of
the most skiltull physicians failed
to relieve tbe sufferer. At the age
of Id ber muscles became so rigid
that the power, of locomotion was
entirely destroyed. Since then she
was confined to her bed and chair,
and was unable to do herself the
slightest service. Five years ago
the muscles became so hard that
the joints of her, lower could not
work. : Tbe fibrous tissues of the
arms and bands, were-, next affected,
so that they were entirely useless,
and soon, like tbe lower limbs, were
no semblance to the human . anat
omy. : A year ago tbe muscles con
trolling the head and neck were
contorted so as to draw tbe bead
out of shape. Tbe muscle in tbe
face then hardened and closed the
lower jaw so tight that teeth had to
be removed in order to make an
opening through which food could
be m trod need. . ;
' To give the patient even a moder
ate amount of food required three
boars' work, daring which time the
effort at swallowing caused excruci
ating pain. Vomiting and soffcoation
finally caused death. Miss Patter
son' was 20 years of sge, and at the
time ef ber death sbe was actually
petrified witb disease.

A Chi sa pea zee's Sautrtaeaa.
The chief delight of Superintend
ent Conklin in bis leisure moments
at the arsensal is to watch the an
tics of the chimpanzee, Crowley,
which is domiciled in his office.
The chimpanzee's latest exploit was
this : He was eating his dinner the
other day, seated in his chair at his
own table, when Dr. Fullgrafl, with
a colored coachman came in. Now
there are dozens of white visitors
here every day, and Crowley never,
when at meals, takes any notice of
them. When the colored coachman
was here Crowley espied him just as
be was in the act of raising his spoon
to bis mouth. The chimpanzee held
the spoon suspended in the air for a
moment then laid it upon the table
before hiaa, climbed down from bis
chair, and gravely walking up to the
, fr ' f th ' ..-rf-AJh n.-.
and indulged in a hearty shake of
the hand witb the coachman. I
have been wondering ever since if
Crowley remembered the dark visag
es of the natives in Liberia, from
which place he was brought when
pretty well matured. During Mr.
Conklin's remarks the, chimpanzee,
with its wizened face screwed up
into a comical expression of owlish
wisdom, sat clinging to the bars of
the cage, and as the superintendent
finished, he let himself down to the
floor with a knowing air, and then
rolled himself into a ball in the cor
ner and feigaed sleep. Just then a
few children came in, and in a mo
ment Crowley was all excitement
Some of the children began to dance
in front of the cage, aad immediate
ly Crowley began to prance about,
keeping time with the tune hummed
by one of the little girls. New York

Tbe First Bank.
It is one of the most remarkable
of phenomena that the first bank
ever established won a success un-
eaualed in later times. The bank of
Venice had its origin in 1171, fron a
forced public loan, raised to fit out
a fleet, and is the first appearance of
a public funded debt. Eyery citi
zen was obliged to contribute the
one hundredth part of - his posses
sions. The persons assessed were
then organized as a Chamber of
Loans for their common protection
aud for tbe receipt of the yearly in
terest of four per centum. Subse
quently its creditors were permitted
to transfer their claims in whole or
in part The government finding
that these transfers were in demand,
reduced the rates of interest untilno
interest was paid. Afterward it sold
cash inscriptions of credit on its
books. Those inscriptions cost gold,
but were not convertible into gold.
Aa a matter of fact although termed
a bank, its issues were government
paper, and its business was carried
on solely for tbe benefit of the pub
lic treasury. This bank is still one
of the foremost financial institutions
in the world. For 200 years the
Bank of Venice stood alone.
Bow a Cat Blade a Clock Strike.
William Ewing, of Conemaugh
borough, is a weighmaster at tbe
Gautier Wire Mill, is a highly re
spected gentleman about sixty years
of age and is a member in good
standing of tbe Disciples' Church.
The necessity far these statements
ill appear right awav. In Mr.
Ewitg's house, on Main street near
Adam, were two clocks, one down
stairs and the other up, which had
not moved for two years. A tinker
was recently called in to repair the
down stairs clock. While be was at
work Mr. Evrir c" cat a very intelli
gent animal, jumped upon the table
on which the clock stood and close
ly watched all that was done. After
the clock had been fixed and made
to strike again the cat disappeared.
Some time later the clock up stairs
was heard to strike. The members
of the family, in great surprise, has
tened up stairs and were astonished
to find that the cat had opened the
clock door and, by inserting its paws
among its works, had actually over
come the obstacle to its running.
They etood and watched it and saw
it strike the pendulum with one of
its front paws, just as the tinker had
done with the down-stairs clock.
The cat did not set the hand?, for
the reason, perhaps, that it did not
know the precise time.
Advice to Old Mea.
Don't presume on your age.
Don't be vain of your handsome
gray hair and whiskers.
Don't set yourself up as models
of propriety in public, and get full
of booze in private.
Dont think because young men
are young they are fools. They
probably are, but yoa were young
once yourself.
Don't take the front seats at bal
let shews. Your bald heads reflect
the light unpleasantly. .
Dont say vulgar things before la
dies and excupe yourselves on the
ground that you are old enough to
be their fathers.
Don't forget that age must respect
itself before it can command it from
others.
Don't sour the world on yon
by souring yourselves on the
world.
Don't fool witb temptation.
Don't be too wise.
Don't try to make love. The old
fools are the biggest fools.
Don't let your love of the world
make you forget that a man never
gets too old to die.
Don't try to be a boy. Your
grandsons will attend to that part of
the business.
Don't let the evening of life be
leas joyous than the mornig. The
freshness of the morning gave you
vigor to work through time, and the
quiet of the evening should give you
peace to rest tnrougn eternity.

Same Facta which will Coat Nothing
to Batbatmaitlsue, aad waJcfev Proper,
ly Coaatfleied saay Proe Profitable.
There is in almost everything
done two ways of doing itone
cheerfully and unreservedly, the
other grudgingly and conditionally.
Mark the exemplication of this in
course pursued by the two trunk
Hues having connection with Wash
ington, the one direct and the other
roundabout. The direct line, which
it is needless to remark is the Bal
timore and Ohio, in making the
great redaction on the fare to Wash
ington for the inauguration, an
nounced no exceptions to the privi
leges accorded the holders of such
tickets, but to the contrary, threw
open its entire service, limited ex
press as well as other regular trains,
to the low rates. No lying around
the B. & O. depot waiting for slow
trains; no programme of travel
rudely destroyed by refusing accept
ance of inauguration tickets on fast
trains. How strong the contrast
on tbe other road I When forced to
follow the lead of the Baltimore
and Ohio in making the reduction
in rates, it was done after a charac
teristic fashion of affected delusive
ness. On the other road inaugura
tion tickets are good only upon
certain trains (slow trains), for,
upon to so-called limited trains of
the would-be rival line to Washing
ton, the low-rate tickets are not
good; and more than this, the straight
full-fare ticket ia not good on such
trains without extrr fares and com
pulsory paying for sleeping and
parlor-car accommodations, whether
wanted or not To talk about some
thing, the indirect line refers to
New Yctk and the privilege of
stopping off in Washington and
then going on to the metropolis.
This can be bone by anybody on
the tickets issued by any line, pro
vided the time announced is within
the limit of the ticket
The B. & O. is the only direct
line into Washington, and passen
gers from the West WQo go to the
National Capital to witness the in
auguration ceremonies by any other
line and thence to New York, have
simply to double the track for con
siderable of tbe distance, or goiog
twice over the same line, as against
going direct by the B. & O. Then,
too, the other line dwells upon the
special feature it proposes to adopt
in running solid trains to Washing
ton for the particular occasion.
That this is an acknowledgment of
making a special schedule for Wash
ington business, and that it would
be a roundabout way of getting into
that city, is evident upon its face.
It is a fact that solid trains are run
regularly through Washington, be
tween the West and the East only
on one line, and that line is the B.
& O. It is a fact also the Baltimore
and Ohio is the only line in Wash
ington having and using different
divisions for its Eastern and West-
ern business, and it not forced, as is
the other line, to concentrate all its
trains from all points of the com
pare, forty-odd miles away from the
city, and then bring them all in on
one track. More than this, the B.
& O. is the only road which can
furnish track room for sleepiag cars,
so that tbey can be occupied dur
ing the stay at the capital. The
B. & O. has provided space for fifty
extra cars within a short distance
of the depot in Washington, with
broad board walk, and the whole
place illuminated by electric lights,
so that there can be no difficulty in
getting about at any time of the
night
'Shall We Meet Again."
The following from tie pen of the
lamented George D. Prentice is well
wortn reproduction. It was regard
ed as meritorious when it first ap
peared, and ag( seems to have add
ed to its beauty :
a The fiat death is inexorable. No
appeal for relief from the great law
which dooms us to dust We flour
ish and fade as the leaves of the for
est snd the flowers that bloom,
wither, and fade in a day, have no
frailer hold on life than the mighti
est monarch that ever shook the
earth with his footsteps. Genera
tions of men will appear and disap
pear as the grass, and the multitude
that throng the world to-day will
disappear as footsteps on the shore.
Men seldom think of the great event
of death until the shadows fall
across their own pathway, hiding
from their eyes the faces of loved
ones whose living smile was the sun
light of their existence. Death is
the antagonist of life, and the
thought of the tomb is the skeleton
of all hearts. We do not want to go
through the dark valley, although
its dark passage may lead to para
dise : we do not want to go down
into damp graves, even with princes
for bedfellows.
In the beautiful drama of Ion,
the hope of immortality, so elo
quently uttered by the death-devo
ted Greek, hnds deep response in
every thoughtful soul. When about
to yield bis life a sacrifice to fate,
his Clemanthe asks if tbey should
meet again, to which he responds :
"I have asked that dreadful ques
tion of the hills that look eternal of
the clear streams that flow forever
of stars among those fields of azure
my raised spirits baye walked in
glory. All are dumb. But ss I
gaze upon the living face, I feel that
there is something in love that man
tles through its beauty that cannot
wholly perish. We shall meet
again, Clemanthe."
Meat o Fbioat A gentlemTa of

the fact that the next door neighbor

cious canine would ignore tbe food

him with meat These weekly visita
were kept up regularly for years, the
dog never failing winter or summer
to pat in appearance at bis neigh

ily owning tbe dog moved to a dis
