"If have detained you am sorry,
but ! did not know you were ready"
"Allow me to introduce you to my
friend, Miss Vane, Mr.. Lee"
The hours passed swiftly and pleas
antly. Mile was the belle of that even
ing, and of many others that followed,
viii Lee was constantly by her side,
until one day he received q note in an
unknown hand, informing him that he
had been duped by a scbeming girl
Tor many days this troubled him, and
he came but seldom to see Mile She
poor girl noticed the change that bad
come over him, and wondered what had
caused it. She loved him, ana l#d
every reason TO think that she was loved
in return until Of late,
At last, to the infinite JOY of her
cousin, Miles visit drew to a Close
VIII and she parted as friends--nothing
more--and with heavy heart she re-
turned to the home she had left, few
months before, so joyous and happy.
Maud now expected to have the field
to herself, and underworld, in every way
possible, to secure Wills favor and at
tention. But it was all in vain. Many
weeks passed by; Wills heart had soft
cned little toward Mile, and, being
anxious to hear about her, he went to
see Maud.
While waiting in the parlor, he was
surprised to hear his name mentioned by
some person in an ante room He re-
cognized Maud's voice in these words !:
81 thought the anonymous note would
cure him, and he has come to his senses
at last"
In moment the whole plot Of the art
full girl rushed through his mind. His
call was brief, and he hurried away, re-
solved to lose no time in seeking the one
who was dearer to him than all else on
earth. How gladly he was received can
better be imagined than described, and
the costly ring which was soon noticed
on Miles hand told that his visit had
not been in vain.
A few months later, Maud, much to
her chagrin and surprise, received a
beautiful envelope, the monogram of
which was sufficient to inform her of It's
contents.
1t is needless to say that all inter
course between the cousins ceased with
the reception of the bridal cards.
Years have passed since then. Mile
is supremely happy in her elegant home,
with the love of her husband and friends
Maud is still anticipating her wedding
day, and they say a rich bachelor has
proposed, and she will consent to marry
him some time. The great wrong which
she committed has long since been re.
pointed Of and some day there may be a

DOES SUNSHINE PuT Our A FfRE.-
A good deal of discussion has lately
taken place in this country over the old
question whether sunshine checks com
bustion 1t is an old notion that sun
shine lessons the intensity of fire, and
may even put it out, and the theory was
thar the suns heat by expanding the
air caused diminished supply of oxy-
gen to the coal This and all other ex-
plantations are now condemned, and the
fact is denied. One writer says that il
a few pieces Of charcoal are ignited in a
cbauffer, and placed in sunny room
provided with closely fitting shutters,
the fire will appear to die away in the
suns light. But if the shutters are
closed, the Goals will be seen to be in
full combustion. There is no phcnome-
non at all, but only the appearance of
one, which is due not to the suns heat,
but to the fact that its light, being
stronger than that of the GOALS, over
comes and subdues it. The fact of COM
bustion is so intimately connected with
glowing ignition in our minds, anything
which lessons the glow appears also to
diminish the combustion.

WHO SHOULD BOW FIRST.

Who has not heard ladies express mild
surprise because some man who had been
presented to them had not bowed to them
on meeting them on the street. at the
theater, or in the drawing room? If you
ask them, "Did you recognize him p they
will be apt to reply, "Oh. no; Of course
not. He should have spoken first" Be-
ing reminded of the well defined etiquette
bearing on the subject, they are likely to
add: II know that very well; but no
woman wants to take the inaitivel Men
should do that; it's their business: it
doesn't belong to US. No one expects US
to make ourselves SO bold" The truth is,
the majority of women are naturally so
accustomed to man paying court to them,
to his making the first advance in every
thing, that they can't find it in their sexual
senfitiveness. in their severely conven-
tional selves, to obey a mandate they
originally issued, and still insist on per-
petuating. Not one woman in ten thou
sand has any fault to find with the rule
in fact. we have never known q woman
to object to it. Nevertheless, she seldom
follows it in her own case. Sometimes
woman says. as sort of self justifica.

and he should not remember me How

serve that he did not recognize me.
can't afford to place myself in a position
to seem to be cut by any man." If any
number of women feel thus, the point of
etiquette should be changed in order to
save their sensibilities. In truth, how
ever, the objection is not well made.
There is not the smallest danger that any
man, presuming him, of necessity. to be a
gentleman, at least in respect to his OBJ
serving the ordinary forms of courtesy,
would refuse or hesitate to return the ac-
acknowledgement of woman, even though
he might not have the remotest recoliec-
ton of ever having seen her before, or
though he were convinced she had con-
founded him with somebody else. And
the fact that he had been recognized by
woman would be the strongest presump-
tive evidence that he had been presented
to her. Men are not likely either to for
get their feminine acquaintances, or to
mistake Mrs, Thompson for Mrs. Robin
son. or Miss Blank for Miss Dash.

PERSEVERE
In the use of this remedy until cured.
It Contains the great healing ele.
ments of plants in their essen
tial form as obtained by
distillation.

Caterrh in its extent and destructive force
stands next to Consumption and is closely allied to
1t; for in certain constitutions the transition from
one to the other is only question of time. 1t Is
therefore singular thing that those afflicted with
themselves OF it. A single bottle OF any remedy
cannot, in the chronic stage, effect even
oring the system under its influence fully. In
many such cases the bones and cartilage Of the
nose are eaten away the organs of hearing, of
ing, and OF tasting so affected to be rendered
useless, the uvula so elongated and infiamed to
produce constant and distressing cough. The
eturn to health must necessarily be slow, under
the most favorable circumstances, when SO seri-
ously afflicted but as the evidence OF Its great val
ue daily comes to hand, we become more and more
satisfied that there does not exist of Catarrh
that cannot be cured by judicous and per- istent
use of Sanford's Radical Cure for Catarrh. The
relief in every case obtained from the first dose is
an indication OF what it will do when the sy stem is
brought constitutiona!ly under its influence.

shop. Aside from the original hatch

dswn his fathers cherry tree, and the
chair in which the father Of his cOun-

there will be :
The birch which the grandfather Of
his country cut with which to wal

The lie that Washington couldn't

The NIeanest Man in the Senate.


To-day as was coming out of the
senate wing of the capitol, ! saw draw
ling along in front of me figure which
might once have been man, but which
now only lacked the projection of the
vGrtebe beyond the coccyX bone to
form the DaTwinian link Of COnnec-
ton between man and the fauna. The
shoulders bent not only forward but
inward az if the bosom had undergone
collapse consequent upon the remOv-
ing of the soul from his seat. The
head was canted forward from the
spinal column as if the being no
longer dared to look mankind in the
face, but perpetually surveyed the
ground to find some hole to drop into.
The thin legs wabbled about like the
hind legs of q sick COW, and the toes
were turned outward nearly to a right
angle with the line of march, as if the
instincts of the mans feet, better and
nobler than those of his head were
trying to lead him off into new and
more honorable paths than those to
which he clings.
He was clad in a nasty old swallow
tailed coat and pants that had become
glazed and greasy. His stovepipe hat
was old and dusty His face was the
color of badly tanned piece of sole
leather, and as he walked his fingers
kept up a nervous twitching as though
he were trying to grab something. In
his mouth he held the stump of a Con-
necticut seed leaf cigar price five
cents,) 1t is seldom that one sees such
picture as this.
1t was Hannibal Hamlin-the mean
est man in the Senate, which is say
ing great deal in few words, and
one of the meanest men in Maine,
which is exhausting the vocabulary at
once and forever.
