"What is his name?" said Madge,
seating herselfcarefully in the carriage,
in awe of her fresh draperies apparent
ly, really smiten by strange thrill OF
curiosity.

captive of HOPE DORIS, they say the
tenth Muse al the aesthetics call her."
Madge was re-assured. She could
not, Of course, know any of Miss DORIS
adorers but az she sat down, an hour
after, to rest aHttle from long walk,
a little buzz AMI motion about the door
of the receptbn-room attracted her,
and looking pr, she saw, as the guests
parted to admit their entrance-Mr.
Schenck; and on his arm the most
beautiful of women.
Tall, fair with stainless snowy
skin, and hair of living gold, Hope
DORIS Greek features were indeed the
very outlines Of ancient sculpture, with
the inspired expression of lofty intel
lect beaming from her great cool gray
eyes and calm lips; and her simple
statuesque dress of lusterless white silk,
utterly without ornament, fell about
her like the draperies of Praxiteles.
Madge's heart sunk. How she de-
spised her French fripperies, her pufed
and creped hair, her jewels herself
What was her girlish, laughing, rosy
beauty beside this goddess from Olym-
pus, with knotted hair and flowing gar
ments, stately as Juno and lovely as
Venus, and 0 climax of fate! leaning
on Mr.. Schenck's arm with gentle con-
descension, and answering what he said
with serene and lofty smile!
How she hated in her heart, too, the
dapper youth who approached her, card
in hand, for the promised galop! How
he dwarfed beside her old lovers man.
ly aspect and noble manner! Poor
Madge! As she rose to do her duty,
she met Mr.. Schenck's eye. He bowed
courteously, but coolly, and, to her
rage and disgust, she felt the warm
color steal upward to her bright locks,
and she had wild impulse to drag the
uckless youth at her side out of the
door, and bury him and herself at once
IN the first snow-drift. But who ever

LINES ABOUT FAME.
Showing how ii may be obtained tina, Ia
what has been done can be done again.

For the HERALD
Young man, should you ere thirst for fame
And know not how to get the same,
Come boldly out with something new
II may MT be exactly true;
And yet so false il must not be,
That all the fraud can plainly see
Select subject, new, or OLD,
Say halt the truth has mere been told,
And then let fancy have full play
And you shall surely win the day.
Go back beyond when time began,
Tell all about the ancient man,
Say how you found, when far away,
His footprints in the rock each day;
How in the solid flint you found
A thousand feet below the ground,
His form, and features in the rock;
'Tis true il may your hearers shock,
But that is what you needs must do,
If you've resolved TO ''put her through"
And get great fame, at any cost,
Before your chances shall be lost.
You can branch out on ancient man,
Say how he lived when time began.
They cannot prove you tell them acrong,
Ind this is aoiere your cause Is strong.
Tell all about his works, and ways,
And how he spent his holidays;
Say how his playthings there you found,
A thousand feet beneath the ground.
Saw in the rock and flint and clay,
The form and features, plain as day,
OF those who lived fore time began,
As reckoned by the modern man.
IT will make your hearers cape, and stare,
To think that so much knowledge rare,
Should all be found in one small head,
Not larger much than loaf Of bread
And so your fame, though just begun,
May reach all lands beneath the sun,
As one whose knowledge reacheth back,
Far-far beyond tn historians track.
But, should your conscience not be scared
And you the consequences fear;
Of leading thus weak minds astray,
And taking fame for all your pay,
You better then give up your task,
And of your dupes pardon ask.
Then fix your eye on the north pole,
And stake your all, except your soul,
That you the pole will reach some day,
In spite of all that others say
Tell how all other men have failed
Who for the pole have ever sailed,
BY cruising round in straits and bays
And losing thus their summer days.
Say that had you yourself been there,
Their ships and barges to prepare,
And trained their crews, as crews should be
To navigate an icy sea,
And taught them how pack ice to break,
And through it ship channel make,
And how icebergs to send away,
When they were much inclined to stay,
They all, no doubt would found the pole,
And never lost single soul.
But you yourself could not be there,
Aud so their crews did badly fare.
Say how that you shall pick your men,
A stalwart crew, say nine or ten,
And teach them all they need to know
Bout drawing sledges through the snow,
And eating pemican, and seal,
To make them strong and hearty feel.
Then with the stars and stripes in hand,
You'll head them for the promised land
That lies around the northern pole,
With all at stake except your soul
Now zeal like this must bring you fame,
Aud spread abroad your honored name,
And make it brighter tend,
Till all things earthly have an end.

Prof. Tyndall's Warning.

In concluding an address to the students Of
University College (London), Prof. Tyndall,
who is unquestionably one OF the most inde-
fatigable brain workers OF our century, said.
take care of your health Imagine Hercules
as oarsman in rotten boat; what can he do
there but by the very force of his stroke ex
pedite the rnin of his craft. Take care OF the
limbers Of your boat" The distinguished
scientists advice is equally valuable to all
workers. We are apt to devote all our ener-
gies to welding the oars our strokes fall firm
and fast, but few of us examine or even think
of the condition of our boats until the broken
or rotten timbers suddenly give way and we
find ourselves the victims of calamity which
could have been easily avoided by little
forethnught. What began with slight trac
ture, or perhaps even careless exposure to
disorganizing influences, ends in the complete
wreck of the liie>boat. The disease which be-
gan with slight headache OF an undue expos
ure to cold terminated in death, unless its
progress be checked, and the disease remeded.
The first symptoms, the heralds OF disease,
give no indication of the strength of the on
coming foe and the victim trusts that his old
ally, Nature, will exterminate the invader.
But Disease is an old general and accomplish
es his most important movements in the night
time, ard some bright morning finds him in
possession of one of the strongest Notifications;
and when he has once gained stronghold in
the system Nature ANONYMOUSLY turns traitor
and secretly delivers up the whole physical
armory to the invader Like the willy politi-
clan, Nature is always on the strongest SIDE,
and the only way to insure her support is to
keep your vital powers in the ascendant Keep
your strongest forts-the stomach and liver
well guarded Do not let the foe enter the
arteral highways, for he will steal or destroy
your richest merchandise, and impoyerish your
kingdom To repulse the attacks of the foe
you can find no better ammunition than DIR.

gative Pellets are especially effective in de-
Tending the stomach and liver. His Golden

familiar with the most approved system OF

foes method OF invasion, together with com-

Fennimore can possibly be, and | feel
sure that society can never attain its
highest perfection until the duties and
responsibilities of each half of human
ily are better understood and more
attended TO than they are at the pres
ent time. But it would be as we'll in
the mean time for men TO remember
that women have men for their fathers
and that hereditary tendency is de-
rived from fathers by the weaker sex
as we'll as the stronger; and that a
respectable home under fathers roof
is girls birthright,a at least until she
has a husband to provide her one
This being the case few women would
care to 90 out to earn their living in
the sphere of business. If girls had
wise, kind fathers to protect them, it
would go great way toward making
them good. pure women. They would
have the means of forming far more
just estimate of men, and be less liable
to be deceived by mere outside show
Society needs a great deal of refor-

less to complain of in the characters

Editor HERALD:
The block abe Of tho Mississippi is
fiually RACED. The ice is gone and
we are looking forward to the re
sumption Of steamboat navigation
and new life in the river towns. Con-
siderable improvement is spoken of
ia CassviIle. Mr.. Otto Reinke is fix
ing up a large and commodeous store
building on the corner of Amelia and
Frederick streets. Also Otto Klein
pell has had Mr.. Bennett, OF Bloom
ington, to work moving his old frame
building to the rear TO mako room
for fine brick building fer which
the cellar is being Dug now, and va
rious other buildings are spoken OF,
among which Is Congregations and
also a new Catholic church. 1t seems
our Cassvlle property association, of
which ID. B. Stevens is president,
have finally got holi of the entire
control Of the CassviIe property, aud
they make liberal offers of ground
for permanent mprovoments, suth,
for instance. as foundry, mill and
other manufacturing establishments
which if once established here would
surely prosper.
Twenty-Five years ago consider
able lead ore was dug out of the hills
near CassvilIe; q branch Of industry
almost entirely neglected of late, un-
I'll the hard times during the past
winter, and the lack OF employment,
has induced good many to try their
hand at it, and we are happy to note
the fact that several good prospects
have been struck within the last
week or two The best of the pros
poets is at present that of Lancaster
& Scheurer. They ere now taking
out lead at the rate of 500 lbs. day
and il is growing. Messrs. Bochner
and Poschon have struck good
opening of dry.bone. also J. B. Ort-
scheid and FL. Schultz have nice
sheet of lead. If perseverance, and
faith is a criterion, Mr. Ortscheid is
deserving of boomer. John has
faithfully put in all his leisure time
on those diggings for the past seven
or eight years.
1t is generally understood that our
ferry boat war is ended, or at least
an armistice is agreed on and hence
forth we shall have but one ferry in
operation, while the other will be
kept in reserve in case of accident.
APRIL 3d.-P.S. Everybody, even
our landlord, is shouldering a spade
and going FOR the bluffs. 5.
Since the above was in type we
have received another letter from
our correspondent which gives us to
understand that there is an old>time
lead excitement at Cassville. The peo-
pie are all becoming miners. He says:
Our workshops are being DESERT
ed-the few good prospects found
have set every one 'gophering." Old
and young-evon the Ramrod of tho
Dennison House is trying bis la ok
gophering. The road known as the
"narrows" is in danger of having the

thus shut US off frem our neighbors
