There we once twin sisters, pretty and petite, as twins often are, and they grew to be women without losing tbeir beauty. They were named Dora and Cora, and at times yon could scarcely tell them apart, unless you knew them Tery well indved. They were very much admired, And at the age of 20 Dora had an offer. She was visiting an aunt at tbe time, and there were those who believed that this was the reason why the offer was made, because w hen the aisters were to gether no man knew which he Lad fall en in love with. IVra being alone, young Chester knew quite well that she was the only woman in the world to him. With American independence she accepted him, and af terward received the aanction of her par ents' approval Her sister was delight ed with her choice, and all seemed weH. Tlie engagement was qiite open and much spoken of; the marriage was to be at the end of the year, and Iora was delighted to see how "fund "Cora ap peared to be of her brother-in-law to be. He on his jrt was in no wise to blame for what followed. He liked Cora, but to him there were a thousand charming differences in Lis " own Dura." He thoaht her expression sweeter, her col or more beautiful, and her figure more dainty. He had never been so happy in Lis life. He bad received an appointment as consul to a small German state, and there would be a parting from friends for tlie bride to undergo. Rut to him it was all happiness. And what newly made husband does not prefer to have his young wife to himself for awhile, however charming and agreeable her relatives may be. Handsome, fond of each other, rejoicing in the approval of all who had a right to make remark, how could they dream of a coming shadow T Yet the clond, " no bigger than a man's hand," was already in the sky. Cora grew pale. Cora languished. Cora wept, From sweet she turned to bitter. All her love for Dora seemed to have vanished. She reproached her wildly without cause. She thrust her hand away when it touched her. No one guessed the truth until it suddenly flash ed on Dora. Cora had fallen in love with Elwyn Chester. The sisters bad a long and mis erable talk. Cora believed that Chester had tried to win her heart. Dora knew this was untrue; but what could she say? Her sister was in agonies of min gled remorse and rage her twin sister, w hom she adored. " I shall think of you in his arms until I kill myself:" sobbed Cora. " Every kiss he gives me goes to my heart like a knife. He will sit before me knowing what I feel, and hold your hand and look into your eyes to torment me. I worship the ground he treads on ; I love him twice as much as you do, and he knows it, and triumphs in my misery." "He does not know it; he never drempt you Lad such thoughts," cried Dora. " O, Cora, what misery, what misery ! and I was so happy, so blindly happy .'" " You will be happy yet" said Cora, with more remembrance of her sister jj feelings than she had ever yet exhib ited. " Yes, Dora, you will be far away, be loved, careened, his comrade in all things. You need not think of me. I should have kept my secret to myself if you bad not pried into my heart. There it is told but you need not remember it I shall die very soon, and suffer no more." Dora said nothing. She realized that all her happiness had been swept away by this wild tempest of passion. Cora w as dearer than herself. She could not marry the man she loved and be at peace. The wedding day was now only two weeks distant ; the wedding dress was made ; but she sat down before Ler little desk and wrote to Elwyn Chester simply thin : " I have no choice but to tell you that we must part Tbe cause is no change in my affection for you, but it is one from which there is no appeal. We must not meet again. Dora." The wretched lover thought himself gonefmad when he read this note. He could not believe his senses. He hur ried to the home where he had been so happy. Dora's mother received him ; she was as bewildered as he himself. She knew no reason for her daughter's conduct, but the twins bad locked themselves into one room, where they sat with their arms about each other, weeping violently. No answer was given to any question, and all efforts to see Dora were in vain. At last the time arrived when Chester must set sail. He had thought so much of this happy voyage, with his bride by his side ; he took it alone, a miserable, broken-hearted man, to whom tbe world looked black. From his new home he wrote many times to Dora, but received no answer. It was not until news came that be had married a young German lady that Dora told her mother the truth. Meanwhile Cora had recovered her good spirits and looked fresh and bloom ing, while Dora grew paler, thinner, and lost ber gay temper altogether. She looked five years older than her sister, k5Hj lb ESTABLISHED 1827. and had no beauty left except that of feature. Cora, on the contrary, being now the prettier of the two, received a great deal more attention than ever. Af ter six years had passed she received and accepted the attention of a very rich and fashionable man, and married him. Perfectly happy, and with no remem brance of the past, she sits amongst her children, while her sister, who sacrificed the happiness of her life for her sake, lives alone in the old homestead. Par ents are gone. Sad people have very few friends. People say of Miss Dora that she is "charitable" and" pious," but they see her a little, shriveled, wrinkled and elderly person, with hollow eyes and thin lips, while her blooming sister, who calls sometimes, driving up in her carriage, costumed in the most elegant styles, still appears like a comparatively young woman. The love for which the fearful sacrifice was made was an evanescent and hys terical passion. The deep, honest, last ing love which Dora felt for Elwyn Ches ter was rooted in every fibre of her na ture. When she tore herself from him she destroyed her life. Yet no romance seems to linger about the pinched figure, in unbecoming dark raiment- which goes over the hill with a little basket full of jellies, worstedetorkings and Testaments for the poor folk near tbe factory. Miss Dora seems good and uninterest ing to all but tbe very few who know her history. He Got at the Landlord. When Mr. Napger got back from town Mrs. X&Kger was practicing a sung at the new piano ber mother bad given her. "Stop that screeching," he snapped, throwing a folded slip of paper on the ta ble," and put that rent receipt away with the others." "Our dearly-loved landlord wasn't over-agreeable, I should judge," remark ed Mrs. Narger, giving the inoffensive in struujent a final bang and descending from a stagger at high C. " Naw," growled Mr. Nagger, " he was not He said he'd fix that bath room faucet w hen he got good and ready, and if we w ante-1 screens so bad we could put 'em in ourselves an I pay for 'em, too. He's dead sore 'cause everybody but us moved out" " I told you so. What can you expect from a landlord w ho raises the rent 50 per cent on every flat in the building 7" " Of course you told me so ; of course. You tell me everything you know, and more, too. Perhaps you can tell me if he's rented any of his flats?"' "lean." "Then why don't you ?" " He hasn't He brought in one man, though, to look at the flat below us, and nearly caught him." " Rent too high, I s'pose." " He said it wasn't" "What then, T - . "He found out you lived alone and said he knew you," said Mrs. Nagger, de murely, thus scoring one on her lord and master. " He'll not get a tenant this year," said Mr. Nagger, ignoring his wife's delicate compliment " How do you know V said Mrs. Nag ger, trying not to laughs " Because," said Mr. Nagger, taking a long roll from his pocket, " I've brought you a dozen new songs." Chicago Trl bntte. An Angry Client, A lawyer of some eminence in this city while erjoying a social hour with some friends the other night, narrated an in cident of his practice in which Daniel Drew, then a "king of Wall street," fig ured. Mr. Drew had been sued by per sons who had been let out of the small end of tbe horn by him in a stock trans action. The rugged financier was indig nant and vicious when he sought tbe aforesaid lawyer and requested him to take the case. The amount for w hich the plaintiffs sued was about Soo.OtO and Drew said that he wanted the case brought into court that he might " show up them fellers." The lawyer made a careful investiga tion of the facts and found that his cli ent had scarcely a leg to stand on in court He was anxious to win the case, however, and determined to see what in genuity and exhaustive knowledge of le gal technicalities would accomplish. Cir cumstances favored him, and through carelessness on the other side he succeed ed in non-suiting the plaintiffs. Elated with this result he called on Mr. Drew and triumphantly announced that victo ry was theirs." " But I haven't had a chance to testi fy," said the old speculator, peev ishly. " That was iiot necessary. We havs won the case without a trial." " The deuce you have !" exclaimed Mr. Drew, angrily. " Well, you are a fine lawyer to look after the interests of your clients. I wouldn't give a dollar a bunch for such lawyers as you." ' You don't seem to understand, Mr. Drew," explained the lawyer. "We have won the suit, and you are $35,000 ahead, to say nothing of tlie cost" " Thunder and lightning, man !" fum ed the brusque Daniel. " What do I care about the $35,000? I wanted to get on the witness stand and tell what I thought of them fellers." X. Y. Toner. Gems From Thackeray. A good laugh is sunshine in a house. I would rather have genius than wealth. A hero, whether he wins or loses, is a hero. I would rather win with honor than honors. You get the truth habitually from equals only. I would rather be a man of genius than a peer of the realm. A woman without a laugh in her is the greatest bore in existence. Countless knights were slain before St George won the battle. In tbe battle of life we are all going to try for the honors of championship. Novels are sweet All people with ) healthy literary appetites love them almost all women, a vast number of clev er, hard-headed men. What man's life is not overtaken by one or more of those tornadoes that send us out of the course, and fl ing us on rocks to shelter aa best we may ? JUXE 10, 1891. Bill Klnny's Arrest BUI Kinny, of Dry Fork, killed a prom inent man of the community, and the authorities after some little meditation, decided that be ought to be arrested. But Bill objected, and when three deputy sheriffs called on him he laid a Winchest er rifle across one corner of his home stead, killed one of the deputies and so painfully wounded the other two that they strolled back to the Shady Grove Court-House. Several days later, while Bill was sitting in front of his door, Mark Townsend, the Sheriff in chief, walked up to the fence and lazily placed his arms on the top rail. Bill reached back and took np his rifle. "Good mornin', Bill." "Hi, Mark." "Had a good bit of frost last night"- "Yas, ruther. Which way you t rave lin', Mark?" "Ob, no way in particular. 'Lowed you mout be lonesome, an' I thought I'd drap over and talk with you awhile. Don't make no difference how lively a feller is he's apt to git lonesome once in a while, specially this time of tbe year." "I reckon that's true," Bill replied. "Some fellers come out here the other day, and one of them got so lonesome that he jest natchully had to lay down." ".So I hearn," said the Sheriff. "By the way," he added, "them fellers that you speak about wanted you to go to Shady Grove with them, didn't they?" "Yas, they lowed that ajedredown tliar wanted to uutke my acquaintance." "You don't say so," exclaimed the Sher iff. "W'y the jedge is a mighty big man, an' I'd think you'd like to nictt hiui. Bill." "I would, but you see I ain't in society this year." "Sirter retired, air you ?" "Yes, thought I was aiMtin' a leetle tx old fur the bright foolishness an' yal ler trim in ins' of this here life." "Yea, that mout be," the Sheriff replied. "A feller does withdraw mightily a' he gets along in age ; but say, the jedge is a friend of miue an' I want you to meet him." "No, I'm obleeged to you. I never hankered after these here fellers that pride themselves on their book larin'." "I don't exactly crave them," the Sher iff rejoined, "walloping" his tobacco about in his mouth, "but still I think we ought to meet them once in awhile. But say, Bill, titer's a man down at Shady Grove that I do want you to meet" "Who is he?" "Sam Powers." "He's the jailer, ain't he ?" "Yes, an' the best one you ever seen." "So they say," Bill replied, fondling his rifle. "In fact, them fellers that was here the other day wanted me to meet him." "So I hearn," said the Sheriff, "but I lowed that mebby they didn't extend the invertation in a soft and gentle enough way." "Olt, I didn't have no fault to find with the invertation. I jest didn't wanter go, an' sorter pulled back a little an' then one of them laid down an' the other two limped might'ly." "So I hearn," said the Sheriff, "still I thought there mout be a easier an' smoother wayofputtin' the invertation. Gentleness always pays. You can some times lead a man with a string of beads when you couldn't drive him him with a hoop pole. You recollec old Wash Bowl es, that was once the Sheriff of this coun ty, don't you ?' "Mighty well." "Ah, hah ! Well, that old feller had more gentleness and consideration for the feelins of other folks than any man I ever seen. One time he had to hang s feller named Brice, an' Brice sorter kick ed against it, bein' a feller that was hard to please anyhow, so Wash, in that soft way of his'n, stepped up to put on the rope an' says : 'Brice, you'll please ex cuse me, but I'll not detain you but a moment' So I thought that if I'd come here to-day with strong consideration an' smooth gentleness you mout accept he jailer's invertation to come an' spend a while with him." "No, I'm obleeged to you. I don't care about goin to day. I've got to go over the ridge an whip a feller to-morrer, an' if I don't do it I'm afeered he mout be disappointed. Well, now, Mark," he ad ded, "ef you ain't got no further bus'ness with me I reckon you'd better be shov in' along." "But I have got some further business with you, Bill. I want you to go w ith me an' see the jailer." "Wall I ain't goin'." "I 'lowed you would, Bill." "Take yo' arms offen that fence or I'll drop you right whar you stand." "So I hearn," said the Sheriff' "Say, I come over to take you to jail." "You don't say so." "Yas, an' I want you to go with me." "How many men did you brisg w ith you?" "None at all, but you aira-goin'. "Mebbe: after all these here cartridges is shot off." "Now I thought you would go with me w ithout having to w aste any of the car tridges. You know the price of brass an' powder have riz mighty of late." "Oh, now here, Mark, I don't care nothin' fur expenses. I don't mind shootin' a few balls into a feller that wants to put me in jail and afterwards hang me." "I am glad you ain't stingy, Bill. Some of the boys over at the store said thatyeu was mighty economical, but I'm glad to see you ain't It hurts a man might'ly you know, to have it norated around that he is close." "I know that, Mark, and I'm alius try in' hard to keep that charge from bein' flung agin my reputation." "I'm pleased to know you think so much of yo'self, but say, I told the boys over at Shady Grove that yoa would come back with me, an' I wish you would.'' "I'd like to accommodate you, Mark, but I don't feel like strollin' to-day." "Sorry to hear that for I told the boys that I'd have you in jail by 12 o'clock to day." "I wish you hadn't told them, Mark, an" you oughtener done it, for you didn't know how busy I mout be." "Yas, mebbe I dono wrong," said the Sheriff, "but I didn't anow after all that yoa couldn't fling aside you business and come along with me. The boys air all ex pectin' you." "Yas, the boys up the river expected LI ieraid Gineral Jackson once but he didn't come. "So I hearn," said the Sheriff, "an' you air not comin' with me?" "That's what I ain't" "I'll bet you $15, Bill, that you do." "I'll take that bet, but in the mean time if you don' take yo' arms offen that fence, I'll drop you right in yo tracks." "That's the way I like to hear a man talk, Bill. Say, last night the jailer and his two sons went 'possum huntin.' They called up the dogs and they have got some of the finest hounds you ever saw and here they came with brightness in their eyes an' deep music in their voices. You ought to have heard them go 'ounk, ounk.' Well, they went out, an' about midnight they came back with two of the biggest and fattest 'possums you ever saw. Well, they dressed them right thar an' then an' put them out on the house so the frost could fall on them, an' began to bake them along with some sweet po tatoes. Then the jailer's son be says, says be, 'Pop, we ain't got no regular wildcat licker to go with these here 'possums, so the old man, bavin' a mighty eye for art, gave a jug to the yooug feller an' told him to go up in the mountains. Tlie young feller went but he ouidn't find no licker, an' at last he seen a ole feller drivin' a wagin, aii' when he asked the ole feller if he could git any licker he swore that hedi ln't know nothin' about it , 'but,' says he, 'if you will take that jug up on the LJl-nie an' put a dollar under it I J n't know what mout happen, but when you coiae back I don't fjelieve the dollar will be there.' Wall, we went up on tlie mountain side an put ad.iliar under a jug an' went away, but b!e yo' life w hen he came back the dollar was gone but the jug was Ci!ea with tne bet Inker that had passed its teens. An' so, at dinner to-thty they are giin' to have them pos sunis an' sweet potatoes an' that oM that's g t a bead on it like a dtwdrop ; an' say, that jailer says that you may en joy the feast" "Look here, Mrk, you ain't try in' to trille w ith my feelin g, air you ?" "No ; I'm tellin' the Lord's truth ; an' say, that ain't all. The Perdue bots caught a big bear down in the bottoms an' after dinner they air goin' to set the dogs on him in the jail yard right in full viow of yo' cell. Think of that," "Look here, Mark, I am about convert ed an' I'll go w ith you if you'll let me take my rifle along." "No, can't do that, Bill, an besides, I'll have to handcuff you. Poa-ura, sweet potatoes, licker with a bead on it like a dewdrop an' a bear fight in full view of yo'cell." ' "Mark," said Bill, as he put down his rifle, "fetch on yo' handcuffs.

Wm. H. l;i deling ir: June N-r Wr. The Physician as a Despot, Without any pretence of faith in any doctor who is not regular, an 1 without prejudice to a sincere intention of calling in a thoroughly instructed and expert practitioner whenever occasion demands, it is still perui&iible to smile amiably at the professional jealousy of quacks. The successful physician, with exceptions which happily are much more numerous than they were, is the most intolerant despot on earth. And we encourage him to be so. We are vaguely aware of the limitations of his know ledge ; w know that he has to guess llrst w hat is th'i mat ter with us, and next what will do us good, and that though there are facts his acquaintanire with w hich helps him. to guess right, many theories that regulate his professional action are still hypothet ical, and may or may not be correct. We know that he has discovered that many of the methodj his father used were un wise and deleterious, and that the doses his grandfather gave often hastened the result they were intended to pre. ent, and hindered what they were designed to in duce. We know not only that he is a man, and therefore fallible, but that Lis j professional science, like bis father's and grcnuiaiuer s. is piof resell ve, siiu is enu very far from being exact Nevertheless, when anything ails us, in spite of all we know of his limitations, we fly to him as though he were all-wise, and do aa nearly what he tells us to as our llesh and our pockets permit. For we believe that, erring and inadequate as he is, he knows more than we do, and that his knowledge is, on the whole, the best that is at our command. This childlike trust in our physicians is a phenomenou which is creditable to its and to our doctors, and from which we both get benefit Undoubtedly our doctors do us good ; and indeed they ought to, even if they knew less and giiesied ivse fortunately than they do, eltie were faith a much less potent virtue than it is declared to be. But it is one thing for us to flock of our own accord to the doctors, and qnite another thing for those professional gentlemen to hold that we shall come to them and to none 5 else, and that we may neither be legit:, 3 mately born nor die legally, execept with the concurrence of the learned faculty Front "The Toint of View," ia June It Took the "Old Man. An actor told a story the other evening about a fencing master in L;niion who had two sons. Both of tLern, like the lather, were physical giants. Who was ttie strongest and best fighter was a dis pose! question until a burglar got into tisfiacse one night. One oi the sons, opening the front door with a latch-key htte at night, fuun 1 a robber in the hall. Thev immediately clinched. The other tirother, hearing the noise, rushed down- 5 ipj, an.) not being able in the dark to distinguish a burglar from a worthy and konest citi.en of London, proceeded to pound both men whom he ran against Meanwhile brother No. 1, thinking there wore two burglars in the house, turned half of his attention to the new enemy aad the fight became desperate. The .father, awakened by the uproar, rushed dow nstairs with a heavy walking stick. Then the light was something to admire, but to avoid. When it was ail over and the gtis w as lighted by the aged fencing master, it was discovered that he had whipped not only the burglar but bis two sons. When this story was told an Eng lishman was one of the party. "Well," he said, '"I never before heard of a burg lar so reckless as to enter the house of an English fencing-master.
