THE LADY ALICE.
BY WILLIAM WARD.

TENHe Lady Alice found herself widow
II One woesone sunrise, wrestling with her
Her white throat shook with sobs, ther swollen
Fell nervelessly over her tear blinded eyes;
She tore her hair. and prayed she might ne
A stih, cold marble statue evemore.
And ere the sable hatchment had been missed
Above her door, or sounds of WaIllnSs ceased
Within her darkened portals, for he's lieSe,
She summoned to her side Geronimo,
A deft and cunning master, IRON whose skill
in monumental art even kings had drawn
Whefewith to make their grief outlive them
selves.
He came: A stormy prelude-tears and sobs,
When with her handkerchief all wet With tears
The Lady Alice stirred her supple lips
And checked the inward drifting of her thoughts
20 catch some inspiration from my Woe;
My lord Is dead, and would make the earth
A mausoleum, turn the trees, the hills,
The ocean into marble, max e the sky
One solid arch! then like the Can Ian Queen,
Devote my body to a tomb for his
Euild me u throne, that /, 50 woe-dismayed,
A pilk grim lost to happiness, may turn,
And from tlsteless world ean eioister there
The hopes gathered on ly in his sight,
And let no nfggard thoughts of value tint
Your richest 9Eiil.and thus abridge the task"
The sculptor bowed and through his subtitle
Unshapen as yet to any great design,
Rose earven visions, ,coronailed and urned
Half hidden in tracery OF Hover, aao.n
Are planted over graves. Withdrawn from
men,
While Il moon waxed and waned: he gathered
these
BY patient thought into perfect whole,
A pilared pile of marbIed elegies,
All centered in cool and wondrous Biche, ,
Wherein a Statue, shrined from the rude toncn
Ofgazers, stood. Its price, princess DOVER
His second welcome was a sweet, sad smile
From fearless eyes, and ready words of praise,
While he could see that from her str1ckene
heart
Its SORROW was uproote,l, and IT'S place
Was budding with a new transplanted JOY.
1--WE wrong oursell to measure grief " it'll gol'
We wrong the dead lest we could give the'
life,
Thai simple statue, shorn of all it's gauds,
Would best record his virtues, and my loss" +
Thus spoke the Lady Alice, and again
The artist bowed obeSiauce to her will;
Again he wrought for weeks in shielded nook,
Kecluse from all disturbing foes to thought,
Until the unveiled model Of her lord
stood out before her, eloquent, though DUMB
But Time with velvet finger had erased
Enough ofsoTTow from her rounded cheek,
And yet again her fickle wish had changed,
Aud deemed a simple bust would bettdf sin n
The memory of her lord. - ~
In short year,
Yelled and seqnesteTed from the slsht,0f all,
1t took its place amid forgerten things.
The Lady alice found herself Il bride
One eladsome sunrise, playing with her joy,

CHAPTER TX.

4 For DAYS and days sense Of ftnpehd-
ing trouble had haunted Moilie Sterne.
She had the most frightful dreams
though she never mentioned them to
Luke now--and a shadow seemed to
brood perpetnally over her waking
hour. She felt half the time as ii she
were walking i'll nightmare. She tried
to shake off the feeling; it was not a
pleasant sensation, for Sucli a naturally
cheerful little woman-but her efforts
were of no avail And by-and-by a fear
began to creep into her heart that it
was warning" for her not to marry
Luke; which, by the by, she had con-
sented to do the next Christmas, 'Just
to be rid of the annoying fellow" she
said.
By the way, have seen this same ex-
pertinent tried With eminent success. |
have seen man besiege a woman so
persistently and continually, that,
against her better judgment. she yielded
and married him-ands ali! what a
change came over the spirit of his
dream. Her pleasure, her comfort, and
her society were the most indifferent
Things in the world to him. from that
time forward. Yes. | am persuaded
that it is the surest way in the world to
get rid of delicate, and polite, and gal
liant attentions from man,to marry
!, him. If any one doubts it let him try
it! OF course it differs in degree, ac
cording to the nature of the9man-and
| will admit of the woman also-but ir
a greater or less degree am very mucl
afraid it is AN untailing specific.
= Ofcourse Moflie didn't really eXpec
any such thing; no one ever does-fo
themselves. And ! dare say not one il
ten would admit it. afterwards if yol

e and though she expected Luke woul'
ridicule her, she Thought She really ough

SEED WORDS.

SEED WORDS
TWAS nothing-a mere idle word
From careless lips that fell,
Forgot, perhaps, as soon as saiu,
And puposeieSs a. well.
But yet, as on the passing wind
Is borne the little seed,
Which blooms unheeded, a. flower,
Or as noisesome weed
So often will single word,
Unknown, its ends fulfill,
All bear, in seed, the dover and fruit
of actions good or ill.

sonous bites are rendered harmless, and the
| wounded are healed without scar. 1t is no
humbug The recipe is published around each
bottle. 1t Is selling as no article ever before
sold, and 1t sells because il does just what 1t
pretends to do. Those who now suffer from
rheumatism, pain, OF swelling, deserve to suffer
If they will not use Centaur Liniment. More
