MY CHARLIE.

Ny Charlie was tire most un-
romantic and matter of:fact fellow
that ever existed. He would
read an old almanac any time in
preference to a volume of poems,
and when I told him one day
about the trials and sufferings Of
that dear Claude Clonett,' IN
Stringemont's new novel, he coolly
asked me, when had finished, if
&C. G. took sugar or drank his
whisky straight Oh, my what
a trouble he was to me, and l
really do not know how | ever
came to tolerate him. He wouldn't
act one bit like hero, and when
he said good bye at the gate,
after spending the evening with
me, he would walk straight away
through the field whistling yam
kee DOODLE and never turn and
kiss his hand to me once.
Then when I dirted just q little
with nice fellow to make my
Charlie jealous, he never said one
word, and I bad expected he
would VOW vengeance on the nice
fellow, and threaten to take prus-
sic acid himself.
No, there was no romance in
Charlie Marsh. lie drank two
cups of coffee for breakfast, ate
lots Of pork and beans for dinner,
and poured down three cups of tea
for supper. His hair was always
parted on the right side Of his
head, a moustache never graced
his lip, apd bis 7oice; instead of
being soft and low and sweet, was
loud and coarse like the sound OF
bass voil.
It will be proper to state, before
I go any further, that Charlie was
my promised husband; and l
think he loved me, although he
was unromantic. AS said before,
how I came to love him has al
ways been profound mystery to
me, for he was as different from
my ideal as night is from day !;
and when he proposed to me, in
place of dropping on his knees
and telling me that | was the
whole world to him and be could
never, never, never exist one mo-
ment without me for his guiding
star, he just turned to me one
evening, as we were sitting to-
gether 10 the parlor, and said, as
coolly as you please 'Sis'-that's
what be always called me-'you
know I have been head over heels
in love with you for more than
two months won't You be Mrs.
Marsh, and make a fellow happy 2
Head over heels in love- with
me ;whst 81 expression l was
really shocked and I never ought
to have said yes but l took pity
On the poor fellow, because |
thought be sincerely loved me,
and would become more sensible
in time. [ do not think would
have loved him so well if Pa had
not detested him. Fa did not like
him, because it was rumored that
his great grandfather sold pea
nuts on an old ferryboat; but l
never believed it. Pa at last for
bade him the house; but that
made me all the more anxious to
see my Charlie, and we met
under the great maple trees. He
of course, should have proposed
an elopement; but he was toe
matter-ot.tact to ever think Of it

WONDERFUL LEADV1LLE
Further Facts of Interest About the Famous
Silver City of Colorado.

Colonel Elisha W. Davis, a
member Of the Pennsylvania leg
islature, said to a Philadelphia
Times reporter, on returning from
a trip to Leadville, Co..:
Two years ago little tumble
down shanty or two stood on the
site now occupied by Leadville, a
city containing today nearly for
ty thousand inhabitants, and
which | do not hesitate to predict
will havo one hundred thousand
people. before the end ofsnother
year.
Talk about the wonderful rise
of San Francisco and other places,
continued Col. Davis, but think
of Leadville in comparison with
any of them and you'll aoknow-
ledge that it must get the palm.
With its fine banking concerns
occupying elegant buildings and
doing very large business four
daily newspapers-three Repuh-
lican and one Democratic-not ex-
celled in enterprise and general
features by any other papers out
side Of Philadelphia and New
York several aourishing weekly
Journals ; three nrst-elass thea.
ters; numerous fine churches, in-
Guiding Episcopal, Methodist and
Roman Catholic; whole streets
full of business structures that are
the architectural equals Of those
in many Ct the large Eastern
cities, and a fine post Office build
ing now being erected Of brick
and stone-it is already city Of
no little importance. Except in
the outskirts, it is not scattered
like many other mining towns, but
is compactly built up-more 50
than Harrisburg, of which Ithink,it
is the equal, fit does not 60 beyond
that city in population. Nearly
all the temporary wooden struc-
lures have already given place to
substantial buildings Of stone and
brick. Any quantity Of good
bricks can be made there, suitable
clay being found in the immediate
vicinity. Leadville looks just as
much like an Eas tern city as does
Harrisburg.
The city is $4,000 feet above
the level oi' the sea, and al! around
1t in the distance loom up snow
capped peaks. During my stay
Of three weeks there, however, l
have perceived little, if any, DIFF
ference between it's climate and
that Of Philadelphia. Neverthe.
less, the soil thereabouts is not
suitable for farming to any con-
siderable extent, and the per-
manency Of the settlement must
depend upon the supply of the
surrounding silver mines, which
for many generations will be in
exhaustible. The location Of the
city oa gradually sloping noun
| tain is such that during a thunder
storm the people can see the
lightning flash below them. Snow
remains all the year on the sur
| rounding peaks. It is amusing to
see how strangers in the city
| are deceived by the apparent
| DISTANCE Of these mountains. !
| started one morning to take a
stroll to the base Of one them,
supposing that it was about two
| or not more that three miles OF.
Judge Of my astonishment upon
being told that it was not less
| than twenty miles away. The
journey was postponed. Another
day, as waggish friend and my
self were out walking, we came
upon little spring, run or brook,

pearing to measure it with his
eye, proceeded to divest himself
of his garments.
what are you doing p asked,
III surprise.
Going to swim across, ofcourse,
was the reply. I've been fooled
enough on Leadville distances
but after this III try to make due
allowance i'm my calculations
Take it all in all, the cost Of
living in Ieadville is no more
than in Philadelphia, while the
remuneration for labor is from
two to three times as large as it is
here, Beef is cheaper and better
there than here. The only sup
plies that command a higher
price there are vegetables. Day
laborers earn from 81 to 81 u day ;
carpenters, 81; miners, from 81 to
$3.50, and other workmen in like
proportion. Any plucky man 60
ing there with a little capital
ought to get rich if he minds his
business. The entire surround
ing country abounds in mineral
wealth, chiefly silver and iron.
The fact that lead is found in
large quantities, combined with
these ores, gave the city its name.
Silver, however, is the most abun-
dant, and, Of course. the chief
treasure sought for. Antharacite
ceal was recently struck, and
the supply promises to be very
grea:. Every trade and profess
sion fourishes. Undoubtedly Lead
vile will be tho CENTER of the si!-
yer mining business for the next
twenty-five years. It is now by
far the largest town in tae State.
The population is not so heter-
ogenous as Philadelphians might
suppose. The majority Of the
people are OF American birth, re.
cruited largely from New York
State and the oil regions Of Penn
syIvania. New Workers are get
ting bold Of ali the big mines.
Several mines, including the Rob-
ert E. Lee, PiLtsburg and Cryso-
lite, have been paying at the rate
of 100000 year for the last six
months. If Leadville has done so
much With no railroad nearer than
tbirty-two miles, what may be ez-
pected when the road now run
ming from Denver to Buena Vista
will be finished as far as Lead
vile? Indeed it ig probable that
the Denver and Rio Grande road
also will soon be extended to
Leadville, opening up traffic along
the Arkansas river. At present
passenger. travel and hauling
must be done by means Of stages
and wagons between LeadVille
and Buena Vista. There has been
no robbipg aone, however, since
Judge Lynch hanged two fellows

as there are none nearer than the
Gunnison country, thirty miles
distant, and they are fast disap-

Ague Cure

Is purely vegetable bitter and powerful
tonic, and is warranted speedy and GER
tain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill
Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In Iniasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue,
thirst lassitude, loss OF appetite, pain IN
the back and loins, and coldness OF the
spine and extremities, are only premoni-
tions Of severer symptoms which termin-
ute In the ague paroxysm, succeeded by
high fever and profuse perspiration.
It is a startling fact, that quinine, ar
senic, and other poisonous minerals form
the basis of most of the Fever and Ague
Preparations, "Specifics," "Syrups,'
and "Tonics, ," in the market. The prep
arations made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave the
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing Quinism, dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than
the disease they were intended to cure.
AYERS AGUE CURE thoroughly eradicates
these noxious poisons from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. 1t
contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and its crowning excellence, above
its ccrtsinty to cure, is that 1t leaves the
system as free from disease as before the
attack.
For Liver Complaints, AYERS AGUE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and
hillary apparatus, drives out the polsons
which produce these complaints, and
stimulates the system to q vigorous,
healthy condition.
We warrant it when taken according
to directions.
