A peculiar sound, such as might is
sue from the lips of a woman who
strives TO repreSs AN exclan1afions OF
pain, came from the room beyond; but
the two men were 50 absorbed by their
conversation that they did not heed it.
There was a singular contrast be-
tween the pair, and no observer, look
ing at them as they stood together,
could possibly have guessed that there
was but ten years difference IN their
ages. The first was bent and broken
in form; cheek and forehead deeply
lined, and in hair and beard, the silver
threads had long predominated over
the gold. Yeti man was not more
than fifty years old His companion,
aged forty, appeared simply TO have
reached that time in lffe when the crea-
ture TO whom was given " dominion
over all things seems worthy of his
great commission The latter was
handsome; the former had been. lsL

An answer would have involved pre-

"But supposing that upon that point
you are mistaken !? If her happiness
were already involved? Hastings be
reasonable. l am not vain man, but
think she loves me:n
For Gods sake, spare me that"
"I will not. Why should I? 1t, is
natural, suitable. When ever yet did a
man he state to claim the woman ne
loved, knowing, feeling that she loved
him? What has your experience been?

was half-apologetic tone il the words.
The speaker had failen '1Inawares upon
a bitter theme.
"No, you never met her, and pro ba-

looked upon Zillah's swarthyf checks,
you have desired. but never dared to
ask, who was she?'''
Ayl who was she?

room beyond, where a girl with the

Yellow, for Horses and Animals.

These Liniments are simply the wonder Of the world
Their effects little less than marvellous, yet there
things which they will not do. They will not
cure cancer or mend broken bones, but they will al
ways allay pain. They have Strengthened fingers,
cured chronic rheumatism Of many years standing and
taken the pain from terrible burns and scalds, which
has never been done by any other article
The White Eminent is for the human family.
II will drive Rheumatism Soiatica and Neuralgia from
the system; euro Lumbago, Chilbains, Palsy, Itch,
and most Cutaneous Eruptions II extracts frost from
frozen hands and feet, and the poison of bites
and stings Of vcnomous reptiles II subdues swell
ings, and allevates pain Of every kind
For sprans and bruises IL is the most potent remedy
ever discovered. Tho Centaur Linimont is used with
great efficiency for Sore Thronts TOOthachc,
Caked Breasts, Earache and Weak Back. The
following is but a sample of numerous testimonials,

the safety and the greatness Of state, and
not the power that could course its will.
He had unfailing confidence in the perma-
nenee of the Union and thorough admiration
for the Constitution. Whatever others
thought OF him, as disobedient, as rash, as
dangerous to the fortunes Of the country, he
never yielded to any one is his own opinion,
in this fidelity TO the Constitution, and his
faith in the nation. And for the rest, what
is there to be said Of him2 A great career
in all respects great career. Great was
he in intellectual ability, great in moral
qualities, great in the opportunities which
served him, great in tho perils that he en-
countered, great in the triumph of his poll
tics, aud great in the prosperity Of his state
manship. And il the policy upon which he was
wide and conspicuous, all nations could be-
hold Il, all nations could judge Of it, and he
is great in his fame which is now scure alike
against discordant opinions in his life time
aud against posthumous detraction. His
fame is our fame: il his fame is not worth
defending no fame Of an American is work de-
Tending. If We cannot uphold our greatest
and best men, assuredly VIC are scarcely
worth upholding ourselves.
