Then raising his hat he shook hands

before had seen that until now | had
never known her, my love, my prom
ised wife. [ had known a beautiful
statue, not the beautiful woman, who,
with eyes appraised to his, stood in the
subdued light looking up to Gordon
Frazer. All the GOODNESS, all the stately
calm had gone, fallen from her as q
mantle falls-a mantle which had hid
den the fullness Of her loneliness, and
had concealed from me a tender grace
and beauty had never till now beheld.
have never seen her since.
Some time afterwards | met friend
who had seen q good deal of the Fra
zers. He was loud in admiration of
Mrs. Frazer's beauty and her devotion
to her husband. HE was out in the
Crimea, and was reported dead but
he was only wounded. Some Russian
family, to whose house he had managed
to be sent, had tended him with kindly
care after even his own doctors had
given up hope, and had pulled him
through his danger. Mrs. Frazer told
me-" continued my friend, "how one
evening, when standing on a terrace at
Genoa, she heard his voice and think
ing it was a reproach from the grave
for she was going to marry another
fellow she got brain fever and was near
dying. The fact was, the yacht in
which friend had brought him from
Constantinople touched at Genoa, and
he had actually spent the day doing
the palaces ! When she heard his
voice he was returning to the Peri,
which lay about two miles from the
shore. Romantic story, isn't it? But
Gordon takes her devotion coolly
enough the love seems more on her
side than on his. l cannot understand

Understand it? Yes, l could. Here

who like to give rather than take, to
pour out all the wealth and beauty Of
their being on the idol which they have
clothed in all the glory Of their own i'm

to the end, happy in her womanly idol
worship
AS for me, the dream [ dreamed upon
the Pincian Hill. before the cross Of
golden light shone over the city roofs,
was never realized. No rustic Of wo-
mans garments makes low music in
the oak-paneled rooms no children's
voices wake the echoes under the aven-
ues Of arching lines. The old Devon
manor-house stands as yet without a
mistress.

Louis Robbins, thirty-one years old,
for seventeen years has been working
as a broom-maker at the Shaker village
at Whitewater. He lived in content
ment until he met Luella Carpenter,
one of the sweet women Of the COM
munity, and his heart futtered to a
music that is tabooed by Shaker rules
She returned his love, and, after slyly
exchanging VOWS, they informed the
elders that they wished to marry, They
were accordingly permitted to depart,
he receiving $40 and she S.. He took
Miss Carpenter to Harrison, and then
came here TO get passes to Oberlin,
where his trade would procure him a
livelihood. Mayor Moore gave him a
pass for himself, and he departed re-
joicing, saying he could pay the fare
or Miss Carpenter, whom he intended
to wed as soon as he got back to Harri-
son.-C Cincinnati Gazette.

4 Deaf Mans Musings.

90 among great folks for great SIN
ners.
It is good to be deaf when the SLAM
der begins to talk.
Love drifts into hate more easily than
indifference into animOsity.
Just one little drink" has made all
the drunkards in the world.
He is no true friend who has nothing
buscompliments and praise for you.
Many people find their only hap
piness in forcing themselves to be I'M
happy.
Sharp and intelligent rascals are more
respected by the world than virtuous
fools.
Half of the pleasure of riches consists
in seeing others suffer the pangs Of pow
erty
TO borrow a pocket-knife and find it
will cut is one Of the pleasant surprises
fife.
When a religious society quarrels and
splits, it stands to reason that the devil
gets one of the divisions.
It is not difficult to do good, for the
means are constantly clustering about
every mans lips and hands.
He is indeed an afflicted man who
can pass beautiful woman without for
an instant forgetting his SORROWS.
He who eats mince pie in restau-
rant affords beautiful and touching ev-
idence Of child-like faith in his fellow
man.
If you would secure the favor of an
intelligent man, cut Off your story as
soon as he smiles an understanding Of
it's point.
The physical attributes of man are
constantly at war with his moral and
intellectual forces notably in the case
of boils.
There is no sadder moment ina poor
mans life than when he rakes together
the last few grains of a ffty-cent bag of
smoking tobacco.
Tears at a funeral are sometimes a
more disguise for joy; Just as laughter
and gayety amid social festivities may
mask broken heart.
No man should be punished for his
crimes who was trained to crime in his
childhood. AS we'll blame the young
jockey for his bow legs.
Whatever may be the individual fate
of woman, nature proclaims aloud the
one great object Of their creation
Watch the little girls with their dolls.
A mans wedding-day resolutions of
reform are never trustworthy, because
for time the wings Of his great hap
piness carry him high above all vicious
influences. The hour Of trial comes
later.

Candies.

A distinguished physician lately made
deliberate statement at an annual
meeting Of the society, of which he was
a member, that there was no question
but hundreds of children were slain
every year by cheap confectionery,
without the real cause of their death
being known.
The article which is most used by
dishonest confectioners is what is known
to the trade as terra alba It is princi-
pally brought from Ireland, and was
brought into use fifteen or twenty years
ago. Its first extensive use was during
the war, when cream of tartar, bicar-
Donate of soda, pepper, ground rice,
and other articles Of domestic use rose
to double their ordinary prices. Terra
alba was then worth about SO to $15
ton. The demand has brought it up to
about double those figures. This COM
pound is nothing more Or less than
actual dirt In color it resem bles dark
flour or ground chalk, and is just as in
furious as if one were to eat the same
amount of ordinary clay or dirt. It
enters most into the composition Of
"mixed" candies. though this does not
imply that all candies of this sort are
adulterated with it, for some of the
choicest candies in reliable confection-
ers' stores are called Mixed" and are
the most expensive.
The cheaper chocolate creams, Of
which children are SO fond, are made
out Of terra alba and glycerine mixed
together, the glycerine keeping the
earth soft and pasty, making it adhere
SO it will not fall apart, and then the
balls are rolled in tallow to cool them,
with sufficient grease to allow one
pound of chocolate to go as far as
five OF six pounds would if properly
made.
The worst effects of the use of terra
alba are that the terrible diseases Of
stone and gravel are caused by the in
PRODUCTION Of the earth into the system,
and the large increase of patients suffer
ing from these diseases is attributed by
high medical authorities to the intro
duction of this terrible ingredient into
the confectionery and similar articles
consumed IN this country.

Ell whenever man has been killed
they imm ediately take the part of the
Wretched assassin. There is nothing
to be done for the dead man, but the
other interesting, much-to-be compass
sionated criminal, who has had the
misfortune to kill somebody, he, indeed,
may have help and sympathy, for the
proper authorities are after him. and
he must not be left to fall into their
hands. Wheresoever he goes and relates
his bloody story he is sure to meet with
shelter. The women press around him,
full of pity and curiosity, the children
stare at him as hero, the men admire
and help him as best they cam But
even in this apparently cruel and bar
barous trait there is a certain-how
