How Edward Arnold Found His Wife.

An intimate friend of Edwin Arnold.
author: Of 'tThe Light of ASIA tells
how the poet found bis wife: Mr..
Arnold was in the British Museum one
day-the day when pictures by the old
masters we're allowed to be copied
when his attention was arrested, as never
before, BY a picture of Perugino's which
a: beautiful young lady was: copying.
Irresistibly he halted and admired the
painting with her. Presently the face
of the fair woman in his eyes grew more
charming than the work of Perugino,
and Mr.. Arnold did not rest in his new
quest Of love until Miss Fanny Chan
ming, the daughter of the Rev. w. H.
Charming, Of London, had become the
central charm of his own home. This
happened in 1869. His holneli is said
to be as charming as his public life is
vigorous and energetic. He. does not
seek society, and has, in fact, little time
for recreations, but whenever he is thus
entrapped by his friends he is by general
consent the center of the group, aud his
conversation is rich, full, exhaustless.
Mr.. Arnold has the bilious-nervoue
temperament and the stout muscular
physique which enable him to be always
active and vet always fresh.

BEFORE the SHOWER.

Thou merry, scarlet-crested bird.
Low ON the elm-bough SWINGING,
A sweeter song ne'er have heard
Than that which thou art singing.
o robin ere thou take thy Eight,
WIT tell me wherefore thy delight!
"Chee-wee |! " SO full of glee,
Sang out the joyous robin.
Lloyd, clear and high, each liquid note
Some wondrous Joy seems telling;
Sweet to my listening ear they float,
From thy full bosom yelling.
Q robin tell me ere thou 60,
WHAT'S 1t that delights thee so3
Soft sang the CHEEKY robin.
Rain! Nay, the skies are clear and bright,
We shall not have the rain tonight,
Thou bird of scarlet feather,
Swift HE thee to thy home again,
Nor longer watch and wait for rain.
"Chee-wee, chee-wec! know, trust me! "
Loud sang the Joyous robin.
But if, perchance, should come the rain,
Thou robin, blithe and CHEEKY,
Thou could'st not then thy most regain,
Full soon thy wing would weary. :
Go, hie thee home before it come, :.
Nor farther from thy nestlingS roam.
"Chee-wee, chee-weel it harms not me!n
Still sang the bold young robin.
Up rolled gray and gloomy cloud;
The blazing sun went under;
The skies were yelled as in 4 shroud,
Low growled the distant thunder:
The long grass bent beneath the breeze
That sighed among the swaying trees
"Chee-wee, chce-weel" exultingly
Sang on the joyous robin.
Fly home, thou bird of scarlet breast,
For fast the rain is falling!
Fly home, for from their secret nest
Thy little ones are calling.
Fly home, but tel me ere thou go,
Thou bonny bird, how could'st thou know?
"Chee-wee. chec-wee said not so?"
Loud sang the raptured robin.
Then from the bending bough he sped:
Afar saw him flying;
AS through the mist and RAJ he fled
| heard him still replying
when robins sing joyous strain,
'Chee-wce, chee-wee i then cometh rain!
Chee-wee, chec-wcc }" In ecstasy
Still sang the distant robin.

day lying on rug in the drawing room
when the master came in, having Just
paid it's tax. He said: 81 have just
paid that dogs tax and looking at it
with severe expression, added: 'and
he's not worth his tax The little dog
Immediately got up, and with crest

seen afterward, nor was it ever heard of
again, although inquiries were made at
the time in every direction"

This Sarsaparilla is combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
etticacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are SO skilfully COM
bined. that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose i'll it, prove their experience
of it's usefulness.
Certificates attesting it's virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine So generally is its superb
GRITTY to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
