Tall Stories.

A friend of the " Drawer, was 4 so
journer in ireland during the past sum-
mer, and of course visited the Lakes OF
Killarney. He set out for the Gap of
Dunloe, which is a wild mountain pass,
intending to walk through it to the up
per lake, which is the usual mode of APP
proach for the tourist. While thus pro-
ceeding, the little hut or cabin occupied
by descendant of the far-famed Kate
Kearney, that dangerous beauty of long
ago, and situated at the base of a noun
tain, was passed. As our friend ap-
preached it, the guide-a genuine spec
linen of that race which springs green
and vigorous from the "first flower OF
the earth and first gem of the sea y
began his legends about the locality:
{" Do We see that mountain" said he,
"behind the cabin thereof name Kate
Kearney's DESCENDANTS cabin. Well,
it's no less nor two thousand five hun
bred feet high, and it is well known that
whin Kate Kearney from the top of it
Embossed her hair, it touched the base
there fornint ye."
sIs it possiblei" said our friend.
50 Indade, thin, it is, sir; but shure /
see that you're from America, and as
for stories it's not worth while to be
tellin' thin to one of your people.
Didn't l come wild some gintlemin from
the States to this place short time ago,
and the divil such stories | ever heard
in my life as they gave me. | wondher
if they could be thrue? And wondher-
ing have been ever sinceI heard thin,
what wonderful places and things We
must have there? l wondher if the
stories were thrue?" again said the
guide, as if carried to the depths of doubt
and reflection.
"What are the stories?" said our
friend.
"Shure," said the guide, 81 couldn't
be tellin' all the stories in short ride
like this; but one of thin has struck
my heart and soul, and III niver forget
it-niver, niver! l wondher if it can be
thrue!"
swell, let us hear it, said our friend,
50 and we will decide"
'Well," said the guide, ''afther I told
them some of my tales, shure they be-
gan to give me back the wonders, and
one Cfthim-a very dacint-lookin' man
he was, and not given, l should think,
10 coortin' the divil by lyin'-began to
tell of the splendid hotels yez have in
America, and-I'll niver forget it-told
me that there was one in New York
called the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and that
it was three miles and half long; not
only that, sir, but that the waithers rode
round on ponies sarvin' the guests! l

NOVEL NEW YEARS GIFT.

$50 you won't have me, Nellie? You
are sure you won't marry me?"
Pretty little Mrs. Nellie Willard look
ed meditatively out of the window into
the quiet village street, as if among the
leafiess trees and among the FROST
bound landscape she could find the an
swer TO Harry Levison's questions.
Then, after moment, she turned her
face toward him-a face as fresh and
fair in its peachy bloom as many a
young girl ten years her junior.
"l-I-am-afraidI can't, Mr.. Levi
son."
Mr.. Levison looked her straight in
her blue eyes-such lovely blue eyes,
soft as velvet, and the color of a violet
that had bloomed in the shade.
"You are efrGid you can't, Mrs.
WillardP Answer me another question
-yes-or no-do you love me?"
She blushed and smiled, and looked
bewitchingly.
"Why, MIR. Levison, mean Harry,
Of course l do-like you'll l always
did, ever since L first knew you, years
and years ago."
"When viii Willard won the prize
all we fellows were striving for! You
liked me then, Nellie, and you like me
nowP Then why won't you marry me?
You've been a widow for three years
now. Isn't that long enough to mourn
the virtues of the departedp"
"You wicked mani As if 800 years
could ever teach me to forget poor,
dear Wilson"
Her bright eye reproved him sharply,
and he accepted with good grace.
Granting the truth, Nellie, that
your deceased husband was a good fell
low and loving partner, still can not
see why you refuse me. That is the
subject under consideration at present,
Nelliel Why won't you marry mep"
Then Mrs. Wizards face grew little
paler, and her plump, fair hands
trembled.

Gradually, the wild and ungOgcraable forces
of Nature are, through science, made Of use
to man. Following in the wake OF tie inge-
NOUS inventions for the use of steam aud cleo
trlcity, comes the organization OF the U. s.
Signal Service. Is it not wonderful that
system could be originated aud PERFECTED
whereby an operator can accurately predict
the weather of distant locality And yet
experience proves our storm signals" to be
reliable. Equally great are the advances made
in the science of medicine. Step by step, I'M
certaintes and doubts have yielded to absolute
certainty The discoveries Of Harvey and Ju-
mer have been succeeded by the Golden Medi-
cal Discovery of DR.. r. V. Pierce. No longer
need people despair because some physician
has pronounced the lungs unsound. Hundreds
of testimonials are on file in the Office of DIR.
Pierce from those who had abandoned all hope
and had been given no to die by physicians
and friends. Incipient consumption, bron-
chitis, and scrofulous tumors, speedily, sure

The Girls of Sligo.

The girls of Sligo were not exactly
pretty, and not quite the reverse. They
were fresh, wholesome, and hearty
looking-broad-sh and ruddy-
faced, by no means to be passed by
with GOODNESS or Indifference. 1t may,
indeed, be said that the heart of the
traveller of whom we have thus far been
speaking, warmed towards them, and
he watched them with no little interest
going in and out of the shops making
their purchases, for it was Saturday
evening and market day. Their bon
nets would have made the Queen of
Sheba green with envy-bonnets of
great height, foot at least, towering
up above the head like a main-sail, and
bedecked with ribbons of red, yellow
and other quiet .colors. Some of these
ribbons were white, ike BRIDES, and
great was the contrast between the
covering of the head and the rest of the
attire. The taste of the Irish peasant
girl does not seem to run much to bon
nets as a general rule, but when it does
she makes up her mind that there shall
be no mistake about 1.-THE London
