A Romantic Love Story.

The Count de st. Croix, belonging to one
of the noblest families in France, became en-
gagged after long courtshlp, to lady his
equal in position and fortune, and famous
for her beauty Shortly after the happy day
was appointed which was to render two
loving hearts one, the Count was ordered
Immediately to the seige of Sebastopol; so
he girded on his sabre, and at the head OF
his regiment marched to the battle field.
During the Counts absence it happened that
his beautiful affianced had the small pox.
After lowering between life and death she
recovered, but found her beauty hopelessly
lost. The disease had assumed in her case
the most virulent character, and left her not
only disfeured, but scanned and SCARED to
such an extent that she became hideous to
herself, and resolved to pass the remainder
of her days in the strictest seclusion.
A year passed away, when one day the
Count, Immediately upon his return to
France, accompanied by his valet, presented
himself at the residence of his betrothed,
and solicited an interview. This was re-
fused But he, with the persistence of a
lover, pressed his suit, and finally the lady
made her appearance, closely muffied in a
veil. At the sound of her voice, the Count
rushed forward to embrace her, but, stepping
aside, she tremblingly told him of her sor-
rows, and burst into tears. A heavenly
smile broke over the Counts handsome fea-
lures, as, raising his hand above, he ex-
claimed: at is Gods work. am blind !''
1t was even so. When CALAMITY leading
his regiment to an attack, cannon ball
passed so closely to his eyes, that while it
left their expression unchanged, and his
countenance unmarked it robbed him forev,
er of his sight. 1t is almost unnecessary to
add that their marriage was shortly after
solemnized.
1t is said that at this day may often be
seen at the Emperor's receptions an officer
leaning upon the arm of lady closely veil
ed, ard they seem to be attracted to the
spot by their love of music.

A Clerical Anecdote.

Some thirty-fve or forty years ago, a Mr.
Williams, a clergyman of the old school
somewhat eccentric, came to Salem from the
country to exchange desks with one o.
his brethren in the ministry. During the
Sunday noon intermission, he said to hi:
daughter:
II am going to lie down. If st. Paul him
self comes, don't disturb me-
Mr. Bently, who preached in the East
Church, and who had been very intimate
with Mr.. Williams, but had not seen him
for several years, hearing that he was in
town, hurried off, after dinner, to make his
old friend call.
"Where is brother Williams?" he inquir
ed, as he met the daughter.
He can't be disturbed, sir, even if St
Paul should CALL"
Il must see him." was the impatient re-
joinder, in the inimitable manner peculiar to
Mr. Bently.
Resistance to such ''must" was out Of
the question. The room of the sleeper was
invaded, and with no gentle shake and q
corresponding voice, Mr.. Williams was
aroused. He was delighted to see his old
friend Bently, reiterating with fervency hi:
qualification.
81 think brother Williams, that you are g
little inconsistent"
'sHow so, brother Bently 2"
didn't you tell your daughter you were
not to he disturbed even if St. Paul called
yet you seem very glad to see me-"
mo, no, brother; not inconsistent at ALL
was-I am glad to see you. The apostle
Paul why hope to spend blessed eter.
nifty with him; but you, brother Bently,

thereof, as day of solemn and public thanks.
giving to Almighty God for past blessings, and
Of supplication for his continued Kindness and

Praise and Prayer to Almighty God, through his
adorable Son, Jesus Christ, and recommend that
the day be thus observed by all the people OF the
State. OF Thanksgiving, because, though in some
localities and in some respects, the crops have
not Welded as abundantly as in former years, and
though we have not had in every neighborhood
the absolute control of the civil law and perfect
peace between man and man; yet we have been
greatly blessed in our varied pursuits, and we
have generally realized that independence OF
thought and action which springs from govern
ment based upon the consent OF all. Of Praise,
because all blessings, whether temporal or
spiritual, proceed from God Himself, and we
should render to Him as the only return we can
all the good things He has done Tor us as lndl'
yiduals, as State and as nation. Or Prayer,
that He will have us in His holy keeping during
the coming year; that He will incline our ncarts
to Justice one towards another, and to rlghte'
business and truth in all our dealings that lie
will Danish from our midst all malice and all un
charitableness, and constrain us to live together
in peace and harmony; that He will multiply
His churches ard enable us to increase the means
of education and enlightenment for all that He
will give constantly increasing strength and
permanency to our forms of government, bott
State and National; and that He will dispose the
minds of both rulers and people to such conduct
in the future as will tend most effectually to the
promotion of their interests, temporal and

What Sleep will Cure.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than the cry for food. Not that it is more
important, but it is often harder to get.
The best rest comes from sound sleep. OF
two men or women, otherwise equal, the one
who sleeps the best will be the most moral,
efficient and healthy. sa@s.g.l
Sleep will do much to cure irritability of
temper, peevishness, uneasiness. 1t will
cure insanity. 1t will restore to yigor an
oyerworked BRAIN 1t will build up and make
strong weary body. 1t will do much to
cure dyspepsia, particularly the variety
known as nervous dyspepsia. 1t will relieve
the languor and prostration telt by con
sumptives. It will cure hypochondria. 1t
will cure the blues 1t will cure the head
ache. 1t will cure the heartache. 1t will
cure neuralgia. It will cure broken spirit
1t will cure sorrow. Indeed we might make
a long list of nervous maladies that sleeI
will cure. .-,.a..1f.--- z. 81 %.
The cure of sleeplessness, however, is moi
SO easy, particularly in those who carry
grave responsibilities. The habit of sleep
ing well is one which, if broken up for any
length of time, is not easily regained. Otter
q severe illness, treated by powerful drugs
so derarges the nervous system that sleep il
never sweet after it. Or perhaps long con
tinued watchfulness produces the same eff
feet; or hard study, or too little exercise o
the muscular system, or tea and whiskey
drinking and tobacco using. To break up
the habit are required
1. A clean, good bed.
2. Sufficient exercise to produce weari
ness.
8. Pleasant occupation.
4. Good air, and room that is not to-
warm.
5. Freedom from too much care.
6. A clean stomach.
Z. A clear conscience. .......
s. Avoidance of stimulants and narcotics
For those who are overworked, haggard
nervous, who pass sleepless nights, we com
mend the adoption of such habits as shall
secure sleep, otherwise life will be short, ant

Adams raised his head quickly, and
glanced rapidly round the table, not the
slightest evidence of discomposure visible
on his countenance as he sees his enemy.
Although it is five years since he last saw
him, he recognizes him at once A peculiar
light glints from his eye as he draws long
revolver, and as quick as lightning returns
the shot. f
Crack! Crack! Shot followed shot in
quick succession. Both men remained in
their seats coolly and deliberately firing at
each other. The scene which followed is in
describable. Ladies.screamed and tainted,
men cursed and basphemed, chairs were
overturned, an confusion reigned supreme.
Several shots were fired on each side, then
came pause. The fate of the combatants
could not at first be ascertained on account
of the dense smoke which filled the room
but as the smoke was slowly dissipated, the
two men were seen seated as before, their
hands still grasping the empty pistols.
A crowd gathered around, while several
attempted to examine the MN; but before
any one could touch him, Adams staggered
to his feet, and pausing moment to recov-
err his strength, finally made his way through
the throng of lockers on.
Sharkey, however, did not move. Upon
closer examination he was found to be dead.
Notwithstanding the gamblers pistol had
been blazing almost in his face, the aim OF
Adams was so true that he had lodged every
ball in his antagonists breast. Whether
the gamblers shots had been so well deliv-
cred or not was not known, as the Califor-
MAN had disappeared; and although the
boat was searched, no trace of him could be
found
And thus ended that awful combat, the
principals OF which were actuated by such
intense hatred as not to scruple as to time
or for taking each others lives. Should
any of the passengers aboard that steamer
during that eventfal night live to the age OF
a hundred years, they never can erase from
their memories the i" Strange DUEL
