: A surgeon had occasion, lately, (

"A surgeon had occasion, lately, to
prescribe o couple of pills for an Irish
man, which were sent home in q small
box, bearing the direction, "The whole
to be taken immediately" On visiting
his patient afterward, the doctor ex.
pressed his surprise on learning that the
desired effect had not been produced, and
asked Pats better-half if she had really
given him the medicine. Faith, that !
did sur" she replied; ssbut may be, yer
Honor, the lid hasti' come Of yet n The
poor sick man had been, made to swallow
not only the pills but, the box as well.
- Last month the Intercolonial Elk.
hibition opened .at Australia. It seems
that the United States are well repre-
sented at the show, and have a special
building set apart to them. The exhibi-
tion is exciting great interest in Austria
lila, and doubtless those manufacturers
and others in this country who contrib
uted to it will gain handsomely by their
enterprise. It will be remembered that
one of the most surprising and interesting
departments of our International Exhi.
bition at Philadelphia was filled with the
products of Australia.

She had been saying to Mollie,N"I do
not understand you, at all. 1t is sin
and shame for you, of all people, to be
vowed to single blessedness. Such q
good wife as You would make some for
tnnate mani and then you are 80 alone
in the world. Why couldn't you be q
trihe more civil to Mr.. King, for in
stance7 He is o splendid man--great
friend of Johns, and it would have been
such suitable match every way"
"I did not love him. You see am
very old.fashioned in my ideas" Then,
in softened voice that trembled little
in the darkness, "The truth is, Elinor, I
never cared enough for any man to marry
him, but one. Once might have had
the love of true and good heart, and I
triAed it away. I did not know, until it
was too late. But daresayI ] shall con.
trive to get through the world, somehow.
People generally do, I notice. It's only
little while, at the longest, and then:
why then it doesn't matter much whether
we have been happy here or not"
Mollie had not seen Dick all these five
years. She heard of him occasionally
through Craggville correspondents. At
first, as having hard struggle, hand-
to-hand encounter with destiny that
would have defeated any one less reso-
Lutte than Dick lately, as prospering in
every: way, as becoming one of the lead
ing men In the territory. How strangely
It had all turned out Once it seemed
certain that she and Dick would marry
and settle down in Craggville, to walk il
the peaceful, unadventnrot1s steps of all
their ancestors. Now he was out in the
Rocky Mountains, and she here in Della
ware, their lives drifted hopelessly apart.
A verse she had come across in "Hymns
of the Ages" had turned her thoughts
back to the old day:

neckties, wonderful hats, and gorgeous
array generally. And it was Aattering to
be selected by him, out of all the Cragg-
vile girls. Dawless had captivated her
fancy, for .ths time being. She knew
perfectly well that Dick was worth q
dozen of him for real manliness. One
was show, the other was substance. She
had felt Dicks growing GOODNESS, missed
him, and yet was secretly, halfuncon.
sciously, 80, secure of him, that it had
hardly, troubled her. She would make it
right With Dick one of these days. And
now she woke out of the whirl of gaiety
and gratihed vanity that had been her
life lately, to find the solid ground giving
way under her feet. She had lost Dick:
What would, life be- without Dick But
perhaps II would all come rightiye It
must II shculd. Dick would call, and
then--who Knew what might happen
then, thought Mollie, with bright eyes
and fast-beating heart, as she picked her
beans. It is 80 easy in this world of OUTS
to let the love, the friendship, drop care
lessly from our hand-so hard to gather
up the ravelled stitches, to make whole
again the gap. But Mollie was fortu.
nately two young to know this.
}, All the afternoon Mollie sat, ostensi-
bly, sewing, by the sitting-room window
that commanded q view of the front
gate, with a nervous flush on her face,
and little starts at every wagon wheel.
Ali the imagine Dicks she heard driving
up that afternoon, would have made
quite regiment if mustered in the flesh.
Once, when she went up stairs for her
spool of "5O," there actually came a
knock at the front door. "Dick's knock, !"
said Mollie's heart, all in futter, and
down she rushed to find a peddler AT.
ter tea another false alarm proved to be
! Dawless, dropping in with easy, conde.
scending grace, quite in the aMonarch. of.
