Deyoted Wives.
Forney's Progress.

History from the twelfth century,
when the wife of the noblest crusader
proved her love by bravery and self
denial, to the present day, is replete
with instances of conjugal affection and
heroic virtue in woman. We all re-
member the story of Eleanor, Queen of
Edward l., who, disregarding all danger
to herself, extracted with her own lips
the poison from wound the King had
received fram poisoned arrow while
IN Palestine. Then we have that re-
markable instance, the devoted attend
ance of the wife of Sir Walter Raleigh
to quote from. Not only did she share
with Sir Raleigh the privations and suf-
terlngs of his cruel twelve years incar-
ceration, but after his execution remain
ed his faithful widow for twenty years;
indeed, to the hour of her death. The
quick wit and clever acting Of Marie,
wife of the celebrated Grotius, liberated
him from his Imprisonment in the Cas-
tie Louvestine. He had been permit

and these were often exchanged for 9TH

wife, observing that the guards gradu-
ally ceased to examine the trunk. and

Grotius to place himself within. She

A life Saved BY STORYTELLING.

There is tale told by London cor
respondent OF Progress, of a sea-captain
who. IN a distant corner of the southern
seas, visited an undiscovered or unex-
plored group of beautiful islands. After
landing and trading with the gentle ma
tives he was astonished by the visit OF
a white man, evidently person OF
means and consequence, who, after
making himself very agreeable, i'm
plored the captain to give him a story
book, if he had such thing in his
possession. The captain had, and
deeply touched by the pigs and cocoa
nuts which the exile had given. be-
slowed on him a copy Of the " Arabian
Nights Entertainments" Overcome by
the present, the exile burst into tears,
and cried, "You have saved my life
and given me rank and wealth." In
explanation, he said: II should long
ago have been eaten, but while they
were fattening me learned enough OF
their language to tell child the story
of Little Red Riding Hood The
child repeated it, and the whole popu-
lation was mad with joy. They had
never heard story before. From that
day became great and hOnored man.
When they had a grand national festival

death of the grandmother as caused by

The stagnant water which has been
suffered for years to accumulate and
breed fevers and frogs in the Coliseum
at Rome has been drained off at last.
An ancient sewer, extending from the
meta sudams in the Tiber, was discover
ed, and was connected with drain
from the Coliseum. The water was ad-
mitted into this ancient sewer on the
Sd of March, and the flood which filled
the basement story of the famous am
phitheatre Of Flavius was gradually
drawn off. In cleansing the sewer there
were found quantity of ancient lamps
with gladiatorial ornamentation, hui
man skulls and bones of animals.
Much of the old Roman road in the
Foro Romano is now exposed to view,
and the ruins of shops of the gold and
silver smiths are visible.

pearance struck the Russian girl speech

weep; hers was the sorrow that sheds
inward tears all life long. She ques-
toned the Englishman with a glance,
folding her hands over her breast as if
she were waiting an order.

don hOarsely.
"Then [ am to abandon the work of

and a shake of the head; "you could

things differently to what you do. Let
me be alone to mourn my brother.
Goodbye again, and forgive me. X ~
Good bye" Guerdon moaned, as he
raised Ida's hand to his lips. He felt
that the strange girl was right, and that
there was a gulf between him and her.
But he would have given worlds to
bridge it.

Everything Goes Wrong

In the bodily mechanism when the liver gets out
of order. Constipation, dyspepsia, contamina-
ton of the blood, imperfect assimilation, are GER
tain to ensue. But it is easy to prevent these
consequences, and remove their cause, by a
course Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
stimulates the hillary organ and regulates its &C.
tion. The direct result is a disappearance of the
pains beneath the ribs and through the shoulder
blade. the nausea, headaches, ellowness of the
skin, furred look of the tongue, and sour odor of
the breath, which characterize liver complaint.
Sound digestion and regular habit of body are
blessings also secured by the use of this cele
brated restorative Of health, which impart de-
gree of vigor to the body which is its best guar
rantee Of safety from malarial epidemcs. Nerve
weakness and over-tension are relieved by it, and
it improves both appetite and sleep.

The Judges Mistake.

Some years ago old Judge oil
Maine, accompanied by his good and
much-beloved wife, visited New York
The Judge 'put up" at ''the Old tavern
down by the battery Before retiring
for the night, and while Mrs. was
costly tucked away between the sheets,
the Judge thought he would have a
good scrubbing. Having performed his
additions to his entire satisfaction, and
scrubbed himself until his limbs were
the color Of fresh boiled lobster, the
Judge looked about for some receptacle
into which he might turn the contents
of his wash-bowl. There was nothing
at hand. and rather than summon a
servant the old Judge conceived the
idea Of throwing the water out Of the
window. So mounting chair the
Judge opened square little window
which he thought likely opened into a
back yard, and deliberately emptied
the contents of the bowl. A howl of
rage greeted the ears of the good old
Judge, accompanied by female cries
and loud oaths from masculine voice.
"What - are you up tor shouted
somebody. "What the are you
prowling about at this time O the nj ght
for" replied the Judge. "You ought
to be at home with y'r wife and child
rem" In point Of fact, the poor fellow,
who had good reason to be angry, was
quietly sleeping in bed with his better
half, and the little window which the
Judge had opened was intended as a
ventilator for both rooms. The Judge
had SO completely drowned out his
neighbors that they were obliged to
seek another room.
