The Last Quarrel.
flrpiHCN, Ralph, yu think as I do,
1 that we must never, have a Ilrnt
juarrel V"
"Never, Hone, there Is nothing easier
than to live without it."
"Yet they tlo nay that married people
are always mire to quarrel some lime."
"Yes, and they tlo soy, my darling,
that engnged people are sure to quarrel a
great deal. But haven't we proved It
false In our case V"
"Oh, Ralph, It Is because we have lov
ed each other too truly to even think of
buou a thing."
'Of course It U, little one," drawing
the golden head down to his breast, "and
that Is just why we Bhall never 'quarrel.
How could we ever speak a harsh word
to each other, dearest r"
There was no audible answer, hut a
subdued sound, as of tender caressing,
filled up the interval.
ltnlph May nurd and Hose Clark were
to he united for better or for worse on
the morrow. As we have seen, they
fondly believed that no cloud could ever
overcast their wedding Bky.
Three months after marriage, and the
sun was setting upon as charming a lit
tie scene as could well be imagined. A
pretty white cottage with low windows
and romantic porticos overlooking a vel
vety green lawn ; the windows of the
dining-room stand open, and the fra
grant breath of June roses from without
was rivaled by the tasteful boquets which
etood in crystal vases upon the table;
the snow-white damask, cut-glass and
shinning silver caught the last rays of
the sun, as they now llitted over the
dainty tea-table, now sparkling in the
crimson heart of a jelly, now lingering
in the golden meshes of Hose Maynard'B
hair, as she poured out a cup of fragrant
tea for her young husband.
Three months, and all was perfect hap
piness. Hose was thinking this as she
poured out the tea, with a little smile
upon her lips.
"Rose!"
She looked up quickly ; surely there
was a slight just the slightest shade of
constraint or coldness In the tone.
"Hose," repeated her husband, evi
dently a little embarrassed, "as I rode
down to the ofllce this morning, I heard
Borne comments upon your friend, Mrs.
Elton, which didn't please me very well.
I wish," in a lower tone, "that you
would drop her acquaintance, my love."
"Why, Ralph, what can you mean V"
with a deep flush rising to ber cheek, "I
would do anything for you, Ralph," she
added, "but how terribly unjust it would
be to drop my best friend because some
people don't choose to like her."
"I am afraid they have good reasons
for it, dear ; In fact, I never liked her
myself, though I did not like to tell you
so. She Is too much of a flirt for me to
wish to see her the Intimate friend of
my wife."
"She is splendid, I don't care what
people say, and I am ashamed of you,
Ralph, for helping to abuse a woman's
character and that woman my best
friend, tool"
And down dropped Rose's knife and
fork, and up went the dainty handker
chief to the bright blue eyes, which had
suddenly filled with tears. This was
too much for Ralph. He came to her
side aud kissed away the first tears he
had ever seen in his wife's pretty eyes.
"Come, come, darling ! remember, we
are never to quarrel. But I do hope,
Rose, that you will think seriously over
what I have said."
Rose said nothing, but clung to her
husband as though they had Just been
snatched from a precipice and she could
hardly realize their safety. To think
that he, Ralph, had actually disapproved
of her 1
The evening passed lovingly, as usual,
but poor Rose felt thoughtful almost sad.
That she must either hurt the feelings of
her dearest friend, without any good
cause, as she believed, or displease her
own darling husband, she saw was una
voidable ; and to her loyal, loving na
ture to do either seemed impossible. She
would do all she could, however, to
please her husband without offending
her friend.
Ah I little wife, what a difficult posl
Hon to sustain !
But for a week she managed it. When
the charming little woman dropped In
to call, which she did unceremoniously
at all times, Rose always contrived to be
so busy that she could not possibly go
out Whether it was a handkerchief for
Ralph, a pin-cushion for dear "mamma,"
or a new piece to practice, It was always
sure to be too Important to be neglected.
"Why, what has come over you,
Rose r" cried Mrs. Elton one day, rather
suspiciously ; "you have not been out
wltlAne for a week. "Are you going to
keep this up forever V"
"I don't know I'm sure," replied Rose,
laughing, and Inwardly wondering how
she could excuse herself much longer ;
but I really find so much to do. If your
husband were at home, Maude, you
would not have so much leisure your
self." "Then I'm heartily glad he Isn't,"
said Mrs. Elton, pouting, "for I oould
never stny In ns you do, little nuu."
But when Ralph came home ngnln
that evening he ngnln referred to the
rumors concerning Mrs. Elton j she was
carrying on a serious flirtation with a
well known society man whose reputa
tion was anything but pure.
"People are simply mistaken," said
Rose, with dignity; "she no more flirts
with 111 in than she does with you. I
have seen them together."
"Well, I shouldn't like you to amuse
yourself in my absence as she does in
the absence of her husband."
"Haven't you any confidence in your
wife, Ralph V"
"Certainly ; but who can tell what an
Influence she may acquire over you t
At all events, darling," very gently,
"you must find some way of discontinu
ing her acquaintance at once."
"Ralph 1 mustV"
"Yes, my dear, must I" This time
with quite a matrimonial air of firmness.
The bright blue eyes of his wife flashed
in surprise and anger. That little word
from Ralph's lips caused as much com
motion in Rose's mind as the "big, big
I)" from the captain of the Pinafore
raised among his crew.
That evening was passed almost In si
lence, and there was no good night kiss.
In the morning Rose was already to
forgive, but Ralph was cold and distant,
and did not seem to wish it. Imme
diately after breakfast he went down
town, after leaviug the faintest possible
kiss upon his wife's troubled brow.
He saw the trouble but pride was at
work ; so he went away, leaving his per
plexed bride In Just the right state of
mind to full an easy victim to the tempt
er. She was angry with her lmaband
for daring to dislike her friend, and
angry with that friend for being the
cause of coldness between her and her
husband.
But when that pretty, cliarmlng friend
came rnnnlng In early In the afternoon ;
all smiles and dimples, and finding Rose
Maynard doing absolutely nothing but
moping, insisted upon taking her for a
drive what could she do V
She had no excuse, and then Ralph's
coldness of the morning came forcibly
to her mind. So in desperation she
donned her prettiest costume, and called
up all her gayety to hide her aching
heart.
But, to her astonishment, they had
not gone far before Mrs. Elton picked up
Mr. A., the gentleman with whose name
her own was so disagreeably connected,
who accompanied them during the
whole drive. They met many of their
friends, and Rose's cheek flushed as she
noted their cool greetings and thoughtof
the rumors afloat. A week ago Bhe
would have thought nothing of it; but,
In tbe light of her husband's words, this
chanced meeting with Mr. A. looked
like a studied appointment.
"Ralph is right," she decided, men
tally, "and I will tell him so to-night."
The pretty tea table was awaiting
Ralph's coming, and so was the sweet
little wife, all smiles and happiness once
more. She intended to meet him with
the old, fond kiss, and confess that she
had been wrong. How pleased Ralph
would be I Instead of Ralph, however,
came a brief note :
"Rose, I shall not be home to-night.
I saw you driving with that preeiouB
pair who are this evening the talk of the
whole town. And to think my wife's
name is mixed up with It I I feel too
hurt and angry to meet you just yet.
"Ralph."
There was only one thing in which a
woman like Rose could do in such a
case. She fainted. When at last she
recovered consciousness she saw plainly
in the face of the servant who had come
to her assistance that she had read the
note and was acquainted with ber dis
grace. Dismissing her, Rose left the un
touched supper to its fate, and dragging
herself up to her own room, threw her
self upon the bed, and between her sobs,
tried to form some plan of action. Oh,
how bitterly she now thought of both
friend and husband I
Only three months married and it had
already come to this.
w
Proud and sensitive, she determined
that she would no longer remain beneath
his roof to bring discredit upon it ; so
when morning dawned, and Ralph,
already repentant and remorseful for his
cruelty, returned, he found no wife to
give him welcome. Only a few words'
to tell him that she had gone forever.
Oh, the agony of that hour! How
freely would he have forgiven a thou
sand offenses, only to hold that dear
form in his arms once more 1
He sat down and thought of the sweet
face, the dear blue eyes, and golden hair,
until thinking almost drove him wild.
But it was too late.
,. Why tell of the fruitless search, the
lonely days, the final settling down into
an almost utter despair V He could only
faintly try to keep up his hopes by
thinking that she loved him too well to
stay away from him forever.
Hut two years passed, and Rose May.
nard had never visited their home.
Night In Chicago 1 Lights are blazing
everywhere In the heart of the brilliant
western city, and crowds are JoRtllng
each other In their haste to reach their
various destinations.
A young man, tall and fine looking,
has just stopped at the busiest corner of
State street, undecided which way to
turn next. He is handsome, but his face
looks sad, aud he has a way of glancing
sharply Into women's faces which seem
ed strangely out of 'keeping with his
quiet, gentlemanly bearing.
As one of these gay gioups passes him,
he hears the nameof "Lotta" mentioned
as playing at MeVlcker's.
"Lotta I "he repeated to himself, a
slight expression of Interest flashing Into
his pale face. "It Is a long time since I
have seen her, and It will serve to bright
en an hour or so of life at least. Ills
but a step," glancing at the blazing
theatre so near him. "Yes," he added,
"I may as well be in the theatre as in
the street. I shall never find her."
A sigh escaped him as he turned down
Madison and followed in the wake of the
pleasure seekers. He was just about to
enter the theatre, standing in full ra
diance streaming from lis open portals,
when a low cry beside him made him
quickly turn.
A woman had fullen, fainting, almost
at his feet.
He lifted her in his arms, but the first
glance into her white, still face almost
caused him to drop his burden and sink
down beside it. 1
"Rose! Rose I My God I is she dead V
he muttered excitedly, under his breath,
for the crowd was pressing around them.
He offered assistance, and carried her
into the nearest place he could flndi
where she soon revived. Both being
proud and sensitive, however, they suc
ceeded in repressing their emotions until
they were alone together In the carriage
which Ralph had called.
Then tbe scene which followed can
better be Imagined than described.
Rose, with her golden head Upon his
shoulder, told how she had awaited hia
coming with blissful thoughts of recon
ciliation In her mind ; how his note had
made her feel that he thought that his
wife had disgraced him, and how, wild
with shame and anger at the thought
she bad flown to Chicago, where she
supposed she had an uncle living.
Going to hia old address, she found
that he had removed, nor could she find
any trace of him. Therefore, too proud
to return to the home which she had
deserted, she obtained employment as a
seamstress, and was just returning late
from her work when she caught sight of
hia face in the brilliant glare of the thea
tre. The sudden vision was too much,
and she fell, dying, as she thought, at
hia feet.
"Would you never have come home
if I had not found you, Rose ?"
"I believe I never should ; I thought
myself disgraced, and tbe more so after
I had reflected upon what people might
Bay of my flight."
"They all knew that I was nearly
heart-broken at your loss," said Ralph,
with grave tenderness ; then after a lit
tle pause he added : "Have you ever
heard of Maude Elton since you left V"
"Never," with a slight shudder;
"what became of her t"
"She eloped with A. only a week after
you eloped with yourself," said Ralph
with a little attempt at playfulness.
"Their doubtful relations were on every
tongue that very day you were out with
them, and that la why"
"Yes," said Rose, putting her hand
over his lips, "but don't say it; I want
to forget that day forever."
"And so you shall, nay darling."
"And to think, Ralph, bow firmly we
believed ourselves to be the only married
couple In the world who could live with
out a first quarrel."
"I think it was a blessing in disguise,
though, darling, for it proved so terrible
it will certainly be our last."
And so it was.
Wby is Man, and Where Is He ?
Man that is married to a woman is of
many days and full of trouble. In the
morning he draws his salary and in the
evening behold it is all gone. It is a
tale that is told, It vanlsheth and no one
knoweth whither it goeth. He rlseth up
clothed in the chilly garments of the
night and seeketh the somnolent pare
goric wherewith to heal the colicky bow
els of his infant offspring. Helmitateth
the horse or ox and draweth the chariot
of his posterity. He spendeth bis shek
les in the purchase of fine linen and pur
ple to cover the bosom of his family, yet
he himself Is seen at tbe gates of tbe city
with one suspender. He cometh forth
for a flower and is cut down. There ia
hope of a tree when it is cut down that
the tender shoots thereof will sprout
again, but man goeth to his home, and
what is he then ? Yea, he ia altogether
wretched.
SUNDAY READING.
I DIDN'T ASK TO BE SAVED."
JOHN HAYNK wos a young mat
much given to the use of profane
and reckless speeches, and when the vil
lage pastor was talking to him about his
soul's welfare one day, and asked him if
lie was not grateful for the offer of salva
tion, he said :
"No, why should I he y I didn't auk
to be saved."
"Well, you will have to ask, or you
will not share In the unspeakable bless
ing," replied the minister, and noticing
a look of surprise now stealing over the
young man's bold face, he continued,
"A young relativeof mine was wound
ed at the battle of Gettysburg, and for
hours was In a state verging upon un
consciousness. After lying a long time
on the damp ground lie became aware
that there were voices near him, and
although he could not move as much ns
one of his fingers or his eyelids even, he
thought he felt a hand softly placed up
on his heart. Then he became aware
that a nurso, he knew that it was a wo
man by her voice, was pleading with the
regimental surgeon, who was on tbe
field, to make one more effort to save
soma poor fellow's life. Presently he
realized that he was the object of her
solicitude.
" 'He is so fine looking and so strong
ly built,' said the nurse. 'Ills natural
vitality must be great ; besides, sir,' sbe
contluued In a reverent tone, 'he may
have a wife, or a mother, or a sister
praying for his safety now.'
" 'It's no use to spend time over him,'
said the surgeon gruffly, 'but if you wish
to stay by him you can. I can do noth
ing for him, and must move on. Re
member, If you remain you will run the
risk of being left alone here in the night
on the field.'
" 'Very well,' replied the nurse brave
ly, 'I will take the risk, aud shall do alt
In my power to resuscitate and save this
poor fellow, and only immediate atten
tion can avail now.'
"Presently the soldier became con
scious that his Jaws were being gently
forced open, and that some powerful
stimulant had been given him. It wm
not long before he revived sufficiently ?J
be carried to the hospital, and in good
time he entirely recovered. His life had
been saved through the prompt ana
faithful efforts of that devoted nurse.
"Now what if I should tell you," co.Tr.
tlnued the pastor, as he earnestly looked1
Into the face of the young man who had
just made the coarse and flippant speech,
but who was all attention now "what
if I should tell you that that young man
was ashamed of the noble young woman
who risked so much to save his life that
he subsequently went about bragging
that he had never asked her to save him
that he had not the least acquaintance
with her that he refused to acknowl
edge even that she had been of any ser
vice to him, and never mentioned her
name except in a slighting, reviling
wajs'r"
"I should say he was a mean, con
temptible lngrate," replied John Hayne
Impulsively. "He was not fit to live ;.
his life was not worth saving."
"Very well," said tbe pastor, "but
this nurse only by a little temporary sac
rifice of comfort on her part, at the same
time being in the pay of the govern
ment, was the means of prolonging the
soldier's paltry life for a few brief years
in this world of care and sorrow. Jesus
Christ, the divine Lord, suffered on the
cross and died for you to redeem you
from sin, and now offers to make you an
heir of eternal life. And yet I have
never known you to speak of him, or of
those who love and try to follow him,
with common respect even."
" My dear sir," replied John Hayne,
"I have never looked at this thing in
that light before. Of course an ungrate
ful person is the meanest person living..
I promise as much as tbia now ; I will'
never use the Lord's name lightly
again."
The pastor did not press the subject
any further at that time. He had set
the young man to thinking. Not long
afterwards John Hayne was converted,
and he says that little lesson on ingrati
tude brought him to a saving knowl
edge of Christ.
tiT A sympathy with that which fi
pure Implies a repulsion of that which,
is impure. Hatred of evil is In propor
tion to the strength of love tor good. To
love good Intensely Is to hate evil in
tensely. How Long Would It Take to Count Two Mil
lions? Over two million volumes of the revis
ed edition of the New Testament, were
sold on tbe first day of Its issue. These
figures can only be equaled by the enor
mous sale of Swayne's Ointment for
Itching Piles, which is universally used
as a standard remedy for stopping the
itching at night, when one thinks that
pin worms are crawling about the rec
tum. To calculate the extent of its sale
in actual figures, would involve the labor
of a life-time. Will you be pestered
longer from the aggravating Piles ?ti-4o
