Peril of Martha Warren.

Goodbye, Martha. God help
you. shall be back in three days
at the farthest.''
The hardy White Mountain pio,
neer, Mark Warren, kissed his young
wife, held his two-year- r-old boy to
his breast for n moment, and then
shouldering the sack of corn which
was to be converted into meal in the
rude mill forty miles away, trugded
off through the wilderness.
Martha Warren stood at the door
Of the log-cottage, gazing out after
the retreating form of her husband.
An angle of the dense shrubbery hid
him from view, but still she did not
return to the solitary kitchen. 1t
looked so dark and lonesome there
she shrank from entering; or per-
haps the grand sublimity of the
view spread out before her, held her
attention and thrilled her soul with
that nameless, unexplained some
thing, that we all feel when standing
thus face to face with the works of
His fingers. .
The finest and most satisfactory
view of the White Mountains is that
which presents itself from what is
now the town of Bethlehem, on the
road to Littleton and Franconia.
Mount Washington, the king
among princes, is there seen in his
proper place-the center Of the
''rock-ribbed" range, towering, bald,
blue and unapproachable.
Far up in the wild clearing, close
by the turbid waters of the Am
onoosue, was the cottage situated
a place wild and eyric enough for
the nest of an eagle, but dear to the
heart of Martha Warren as the home
where she had spent the happy days
of her young wifehood. When she
had turned from many a partrician
suitor, in the fair old town of Ports
mouth, to join her fortunes with
those Of the young settler, it was
with a full and perfect understand
ing of the trials that lay before her.
She would walk in no paths of roses
for years to come; much of life
must be spent in eternal solitudes,
where silence was broken only by
the wild winds of the forest, the
shrek of the river over the sharp
rocks, or the dismal howl of the red
mouthed wolf in the forest.
The necessary absences of her
husband she dreaded most. 1t was
so gloomy to close up her doors at
night and sit down by the lonely
fireside, with the consciousness that
there was no human being nearer to
her than the settlement of Lords
Hill, ten miles away through the
painless woods. There was but lit
tie to fear from any of the Indians,
although q number of scattered
tribes yet roamed over these prime.
val hunting grounds. They were
mostly disposed to be friendly, and
Mrs. Warren's kind heart promoted
her to many acts Of kindness toward
them, and an Indian never forgets q
benefit.
The purple mist cleared away from
the scared forehead Of the dominant
old mountain, the yellow sun peeped
over the rocky wall, and Martha
turned away to the performance of
her simple domestic duties. The
day was a long one, and the gloam,
ing comes sooner in these solitudes
than in other places. The sunlight
faded out of the unglazed windows,
J though it would illumine the dis

advertise your Macedonian Oil for all its mer-
its deserve. have Travelled over one thousand
miles and treated with your oil more than five
thousand patients, successfully. Many cases
har-
of them had bafiled skillful physicians of their
localities. Nor can you speak too highly of its
curative properties in cases of Deafness or Ca
tarrh. 1 never believed in any infallible rem
edy, but do believe the Oil to be infallible for
Catarrh. and | defy anybody to contradict 1t
after using it. Irnay further add, that for Kid
ney Diseases. of any kind, that its approved
medical qualities render it the most efficient.
Don't be afraid to advertise it in strong Ian
guage. The Oil will prove it.
Yours, very respectfully.
