BRIDaET's LOVE TEST.

Miss Juliet Anterior was an
heiress and a beauty-at least, she
was decidedly good-looking to be-
gin with, and her wealth was the
added charm that made her ire
sistble to quite a number Of fiat,
telling admirers. q
She was entirely independent,
and almost relationless. Vim her
stately old city mansion-whiclI
had been the abode of her grand.

right to aristocracy in our new
countryside had reigned mistress
since her mothers decease, three
years before, and yet she was only
twenty.
An ancient and somewhat toady-
ing maiden cousin was her com
panion, and, like all who come
within her orbit, Miss Briefly treat
ed the somewhat capricious heir
ess with yielding adulation, until
it was no wonder that the natural
ly generous-hearted girl should
have become q little spoiled and
decidedly difficult to please. .
She had no lack of admirers,
but three were distinctly favored
by her, and so distinguished from
the others.
Foremost among them was Ma
jor Farnsworth, q grand military
figure, imposing at once in appear
ance and manner, and carrying the
air of a hero, if not the record.
His chief rival was Mr.. Henry
Aubrey, an eloquent young lawyer,
agreeable and plausible, and what
is generally termed a rising young
man in his profession.
Between these two. with no de-
cided position in Miss Atherton's
favor, but still at times more pre-
ferred than either, came Marcus
Dean, a quiet sort of q gentleman,
who had never thrust himself for
ward as u aatterer or devotee at
her shrine, yet who always linger-
ed near her, and somehow managed
to convey his regard as decidedly
as his more demonstrative fellows.
cousin Jane" said Juliet, one
morning at the breaktasttahle, af-
ter a remarkably brilliant party,
at which she had met her three
lovers, the night before-"cousin
Jane, are you a judge of charac-
terY"
Miss Briefly, whose native abili-
ties were of the weakest, and whose
tastes inclined more decidedly to
personal comfort and good living
than to any abstruse speculations,
answered, in mild hesitation:
II am not quite sure my love. |
have never thought much on the
subject" @
"Then of course you are not!'
cried Juliet, q little impatiently.
"Perhaps not" assented Miss
Briefly, mildly.
Juliet played with her spoon in
her cup, with a meditative air, for
awhile, and Bridget Murphy -

Keeper, who, from long habit, wait
ed on her young lady as she used
To do when she was a pretty, petted

but mine was already at my own
disposal and he gave me the pre.f-
erence.
She looked at the gallant majors
effusion, and u tone of bitterness
touched her soliloquy.
"Then he merely wanted to know
the value of my real estates, when
he talked of his imaginary friend,
and OF his proposed purchase? Ugh,
the miserable deceiver" she cried,
and bHpst into tears Of heartfelt
pain and indignation.
Twas thus Marcus Dean found
her. A servant usheTed him into
the drawing room and when Juliet
locked up, her face wet with tears,
she foundS him bending over her
with love and pity in his handsome
eyes.

She looked at him, with a warm
glad smile breaking through her
tears.
"Bnt you do not think what a

appliance of luxury that has
hitherto gilded my existence. You

He held his arms imploringly
toward her, and she allowed herself
to droop forward until her head
rested on his breast, andher poodle
looked on amazed from the shadow
Of the bay window.

contidentially, the next morning,
when she and her mistress were
alone together, that little trick of

young mistress, heartily; "and to

When Marcus Dean found his
wife out to be rich and designing,
he was amazed, but laughed
heartily at the discontinue of

DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms Of a Diseased LIVER.
DAN in the right side, under the edge
Of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the leftside; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain IS felt under
the blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism IN
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetiteand sickness; the bowels
in general are CostiVe, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally aconsiderable loss Ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation Of
having left undone something which
ought 10 have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains Of WEAKNESS and de-
biiity; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurredwhere few ofthem existed,
vet examination ofthe body, afterdeath,
has shown the LIVER to have been OK
