An AnecdOte of Waterloo.

Many are the anecdotes, many the dar-
ing deeds, many the acts of chivalry that
have never found place in books. And
among the facts not made public, says an
English paper, is the conduct of the Duke
of Wellington before the battle of Water
loo. It is generally supposed that during
the preceding night June ~ Wellington
supped and quietly slept in the village of
Waterloo, some miles distant from the
field of battle; the real fact is that, after
the British army had bivouacked on the
ground, the destined scene of the next
days fight, Wellington, unattended, rode
to Blucher's headquarters and had an in
terview with him. His object was to
the British as early as possible next day.
Union was more important to the allies,
while attack before this union should be
effected was most important to Napoleon.
Wellington and Butcher calculated that
they could meet the next day upon the
field of Waterloo at twelve O'Clock After
the interview Wellington rode back to
the village of Waterloo, where he obtained
a short repose. Unfortunately, subse-
quent heavy rains rendered the road so
nearly impossible that the junction was
not accomplished until six in the evening
of June IS. During those SIX hours of
deep anxiety endured by the British
chief, how often did he look at his watchl
And when at length the Prussian guns
were heard, he individually exclaimed:
"There goes old Butcher at last.'' The
two officers who alone knew of the mid
night interview between WELLINGTON and
Butcher, were Sir Augustus Fraser, R.
A., and Captain (afterward GeneraD Will
liam Bell, r. A., both of whom rode into
the field with their chief, and both of

When the spring creeps up through the gold
en- glades,
And the woodlands sleep in their datfodil
bed,
In the dreaming time, ere the daylight fades,
viii YOU think of the spring when first we
met,
And of April suns that forever have set!
When the world is red with the summer rose,
And sweet with the music OF mellow June,
VIII you miss some light when the sunset
glowss
TiIlthe song of the summer seems scarce in
tune;
WiIlyou say how swiftly the June days went
In the fullness of last years sweet content!
When the reasers rest in the rudy gold
Ofthe ripening fields on the breezy down,
VIII Won think of the time when our tale was
told,
And our hopes were ripe for the reaping
down;
When the fields of life that lowered of late
Were stripped and swept by the scythe OF Fate:
Whenthe world is awaiting the springs sweet
prime,
And the snow lies soft over forest and field,
Will you think how we wept in the wintei-
time,
Ere the pain of our parting was numoeu ana
healed;
When the Glove of your lifetime" was just
newborn,
And your ''life-long sorrow" was scarce out
worn?
A lifelong sorrow 1 mind me yet,
When we stood in the glow of the golden
grain;
'Twere be ter, You said, that should forget
For the greater half of love is pain.
Ali, true! He who loves most, the most en-
dures;
But the ''life-long sorrow is mine-not yours.

you loved me this morning-now grant
me one little boom"
"What is it, dearest?"
"Give me that note he spoke Of"
Mr. Everleigh silently went to a small
ebony cabinet, unlocked it, and drew
out folded paper, which he placed in
her hands. She glided up to the old man,
who had been gazing out of the window
In sort of reverie, and laid her hand on
his arm. "Do YOU remember the little
golden haired Mary, whom you found
with her mother, wearied out on the road
side twenty years ago?'
"Do remember her, lady! TWAS but
this very morning was recalling the
scene"
"And don't you recognize meF' she
said, smiling up into his face, as she
drew back the dropping curls. 81 am
little Mary"
He stood in bewildered silence; all OF a
sudden the truth seemed to break upon
him, and he laid his hands upon her head
with a cheerful blessing. "And your
mother, my child?'
"She has been dead for many years, but
it is my dearest task to be the humble in
strument of her gratitude. Here IS the
note that you indorsed Ny husband has
given it to me- See!'
A small spirit lamp was burning in one
of the inches; she held the bit of paper
over the flame until 1t fell cloud of light
ashes upon the floor.
"Well?"
Mrs. Ravnesford met her husband at
the door at the instant his crutcheS
sounded on the gravelled path.
"Why don't YOU speak? OF course |
know you've nothing but bad news to
tell, but may as well hear it at once.
Have YOU seen the gentleman? What did
he say?''
Hannah said old Job Raynesford,
slowly folding his gloves, ''do you re-
member the $40 gave that poor. young
wanderer, score of years ago?'
"Why, of course, do; didn't | remind
you of it not twelve hours ago! what
has that to do with our troubles, pray?'
''Just this-to-day l received payment,
principal and interest"
:sWhat do you mean, JOB Raynesford?'
'sThe little golden haired child that sat
beside our hearthstone that June evening
is Lawyer Everleigh's wife, and l have
seen her burn the note that has hung
around my neck like milestone for years
She said it was but discharglng sacred
debt of gratitude, but heaven knows
looked for no such reward"
There was moments silence. The
old man was bordering over the past, and
Mrs. Raynesford was SO taken by surprise
that she really could not speak.
ssAnd now, wife, what have you to say
about my financial mistakes?" asked Mr..
earnestly.
She came to his side, and hiding her
old face on his arm, hum5ly said, "God
be merciful unto me, sinner"

The Dead Dancers Shoe.

A short time ago DR.. Hyrti, the emf
nent Austrian anatomist, celebrated the
SEVENTEEN anniversary of his birth, sur

Of the occasion, he spoke of the expert

effects for the wearer, when little rose
colored billet dropped from it. The pro-
fessor, surprised, picked it up and read
it with deep emotion depicted on his
countenance, and the shoe with its billet
became a mystery much talked in Vienna
for time, DR.. Hyrti being credited with
having received love letter from some
operate danseuse, who had maliciously
concealed it in the article in question.
The billet, however, contained no tender
love message, but was traced by the hand
of dying girl named Wanda, who was
one of the best pupils of the Imperial
Dancing academy. The contortlons to
which she had to twist her feet brought

compulsion about buying or trying these

cases in regard to cure where the person taking

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part Of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, Us flatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspi-
ration, producing very disagreeable itching,
particularly at night after getting warm in
bed, is very common attendant. Internal,
external and itching piles yield at once on the
application of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy,
which acts directly upon the parts affected, alb
sorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense Itch
ing and effecting permanent cure where all
other remedies have failed. Do not delay until
the drain of the system produces permanent
disability, but try it and be cured. Price 50
cents. Ask your druggist for it, and if You
you cannot obtain it Of him, we will send it
prepaid, on receipt of price. Address The Bo-

Natural History of an Editor

What ferocious looking animal
is that?
That is an editor.
Indeed? Are they dangerous?
Sometimes. When cOrnered uu
they have been known to be
quite combative, and again they
have been known to go through
a convenient back window. Gen
orally they are mild and passive.
When are they the most dan
gerous?
When intruded upon by a book
agent who wants Il Seventy-line
local for forty cent book, or
when intruded upon by a poet
with poem about gentle spring.
Ale editors cross to each 9th er?
Only when separated by several
blocks of buildings.
DO they often have fearful COM
bats with each other?
Occasionally they go out in op-
posite directions and meet by
chance.
Are editors cowhided?
Sometimes the little ones are,
hut the big ones are rarely mo-
Tested.
Do editors eat?
They do. 1t was formerly sup
posed that they ate at long intev-
ais, but tits an authenticated fact
that they can eat great deal
when they can get it.
What kind of food do'they like
most?
They ar e not very particular.
While they won't refuse quail on
toast, fried crab or roast turkey
about Christmas time, they have
been known to make a heart re-
past off dish of cold turnips and
a consumptive herring.
Can they eat concert tickets?
We believe not. Some people
have this errOneOur impression
from false teachings in early life,
but no authenticated instance of
such a thing is on record.
Do editors 90 free into shows?
TREY do when they give a dol
lar and half local for twenty
five cent ticket.
Are al editors bald?
No only married ONES are bald,
but US pass on, the editor does
not like to be stared at.-EX.
