The Judicious Waters at Carlsbad.

The Judici0us Waiers at Carlsbad.
Not the least curious part of the effect
Of these wonderfully impregnated
waters are the exactly opposite effects
they have on different people. Anus
ing dialogues may frequently be heard
in consequence. The daughter of a con-
spicuous New York publicist had been
drinking from the Fredericksbrunn for
some time, when, meeting New York
acquaintance, young girl, she asked
in astonishment "What are you drink
ing from this spring for?" "To get
flesh" promptly responded the other.
"Why," exclaimed the first, Indignantly,
"I'm drinking it to get thin." Then the
two girls tore over to their physician, q
celebrated professor from Vienna, and
beset him for deceiving them. He ex-
planned that the water on certain con-
stitutions would have one effect and
upon another directly opposire. The
girls retired, by no means convinced Of
this miraculous discrimination of the
springs, but at the end of four weeks
the doctor was justified. The stout girl
had lost seventeen pounds of flesh and
the delicate girl had gained nine.

Laces of all kinds are worn, from
point de Venice to imitation edgings.
White moire satin is very popular
and especially when adorned with
fonnces of silk muslin richly embroid-
cred.

light dresses, medium tan being the
favorite shade.
Collars designed after the style of an
ancient girdle are favored. They are
carelessly worn, forming pretty throat
garniture and shoulder drapery.
Silk gauze and embroidered muslin
form snowy combination for full dress

be composed of lace and delicate beaded
fringe.

"I cannot tell, Mr.. vale," replied the
widow. coldly. eff you truly loved my
darling daughter, why did you not con-
fess it when she was in her most
Strengthened circumstances ?"

"But first, Nettie. if you truly love me,
come to my arms"
The young girl hesitated moment
then the sweet emotion that enthralled
her very soul proved its strength, and
she flew to his embrace, and was clasped
fervently to his heart while her arms
encircled his neck.
'Now will explain" he said, turn
ing to Mrs. Borrowdale. "When I left
you last autumn I was obliged to go to
New York, as my father had died, leav-
ing me his immense fortune. While
there, by chance-I saw an advertise
ment in the papers for the heirs of Lord
Borrowdale, who had died in London,
leaving his title and fortune to his only
son, Herbert. Knowing this to be your
dead husbands name, 1 sought out the
lawyer in the city who had inserted the
advertisement, and telling him / thought
you were Herbert Borrowdale's widow,
advised him to communicate with you.
This he did, and you received his letter.

and proving yourself to be next of kin
to the departed peer, you received, I
think, papers which will give you your
rightful fortune. Is it not so? ?"

Mrs. Borrowdale. "Lennox, forgive our
unjust suspicious of you. We should
never have doubted your good-hearted-
nessr'

tion then that he had paid the village
grocer to see to their wants, and it was
long after he married Nettie before they
found it out, and that his cold demeanor
was assumed, that they might not sus-
pect who their benefactor was in their
distress.
1t was necessary for Mrs. Borrowdale
and her daughter to 60 to England to
make good their claim, and after Len
nox had married Nettie, they all three
went. They had little or no difficulty
establishing their identity and gaining
their inheritance. It was ascertained
that the old peer died repentant of his
injustice to his only son, and had used
every means of trying to find him and
bringing him to his heart and home
again but, living quietly in the seclu-
sion of the pretty little Jersey village, it
is not strange that Herbert Borrowdale
never heard from his father, as they
never corresponded.
And thus we leave our glad trio, living
luxuriously in great mansion in Lon

Mothers Huckelberry Pies.

How oft goes memory back to childhood,
When picking berries on the hill,
With pail in hand I'd strip the bushes
Along with little brother Will.
What cared we for the heats of summer,
With broad straw hats tipped DER our eyes
For, with those very huckleberries 4l
Our mother made those famous pies
Isee her now, dear cherished mother,
With apron on as white as snow,
Her plump arms bare up to the elbow,
And on her cheeks rosy glow; s sa
seem to see her roll the pie crust,
And fill the plates of largest size;
For well she knew how hungry children s
Enjoyed her huckleberry pies
And father. he'd come in from haying.
And stand by mother very near,
And say: 'Now, wife, in all the township
None make such pies as you do, dear,
Except perhaps, my dear old MOTHER
Why, at the Fair, you'd take the prize.
Come, children, now we'll all to dinner
And have feast of mothers pies''
Those dinners now well remember,
Within the kitchen large and cool;
Those summer days of our vacation,
When we were free of books and school.
All can it be of years full thirty?
And yet it must be how time flies
Since we sat in that farmhouse kitchen
And ate, in childhood, mothers pies.
Within our modest home is sitting
An aged lady, sanity fair;
While at her side nv lad and lassie
Are looking up with earnest air.
Grandma, they say, 1--WE picked these berries,
We meant it for great surprise"
And grandma smiles and says, "My darlings,
I'm not too old to make good pies

A KIND H EART.

The woods were gayly bedecked with
their autumnal foliage, and the robins
had ceased chirping their sweet lays !;
but the brook murmured on, with its
lulling intonation, beneath the rustling
branches of the trees, as happily as it
did when it's banks were luxuriant with
summers green verdure. And it was
by this tiny rustic bridge that spanned
the stream in the shadow of the trees,
that Nettie first met Lennox Vale. He
had been listlessly tempting the speck-
led trout in the stream with his rod
when she came down from the cottage
near by, to fetch a pail of water and on
meeting the pretty girl he rose from his
recumbent position, gallantly dotted his
hat, and laughingly demanded her toll
to cross the bridge. She blushed pref
tily, and would have retraced her steps
in dismay had he not reassured her by
a lew joking words, and to her astonish-
ment filled her pail and carried it to the
cottage for her.
That was the way they became ac-
quainted, and it was not long before
both were hopelessly in love with each
other, although the sweet words had
not yet been spoken which would reveal
their passion. He was handsome, and
being from New York, possessed the
polished manners of a thorough gentle
man, while she, reared in the quiet lit
tie village of Roselle, was as innocent
and simple as country girl could be.
He afterward called at the cottage
where dwelt Widow Borrowdale--a
graceful little lady, if possible more
beautiful than her daughter. An air of
mystery surrounded the pretty widow,
which was only apparent to Lennox Vale;
but he, too, was mystery to them, as
the extent of his confidence was that he
was New Yorker. rusticating q few
months for recreation. He boarded at
the hotel in the village, but from the
day he met Nettie most of his time was
spent near her.
And thus the happy days of summer
and autumn sped rapidly by, and cold,
bleak winter approached in biting gusts
over the Blue Ridge, at the base of
which the stream wound it's sinuous
course. And winters approach brought
terror to the widows heart, for she had
been unfortunate all summer the bank
in which she had deposited what little
money she owned had failed and left
her penniless. This news she commu-
nicated to Nettie, one evening, as they
sat in the tiny parlor before the cheer
full fire, a few minutes after Lennox had
returned to his hotel.
~ do not know what we shall do,
Nettie DEAR" she said, dolefully. "The
few thousand dollars were all your
father left us when be died, and that
money he brought from England" ~
''From England, mamma ?" queried
Ne'tie, in surprise.
'Yes, my dear. never told you we
are English, did /? Dear me, how rap
idly time flies Why certainly am an
English woman, but you were born
herein this house. And do you know,
Nettie, your grandfather was noble
man?"
why, no, mamma" replied the as
tonished girl.
"Well, he was," continued Mrs. Bor-
rowdale. "The story of my life is ar
unhappy one, but will tell it briefly

hold BURGLdRS.

They Risk a Great Deal to Got Very Little,
That one or more burglars and
thieves are prowling around town is
proved by the following circumstances.
One day last week, when Bryan
Cooks wife, who was working for her
brother Press. Dixon, all colored, went
home to dinner she found the heavy
chain that had fastened the door,
broken, the door ajar, and everything
inside in confusion. A glance show
cd that Bryan's eclothing and part of
his Rife's had been stolen. She called
out to Press. and he started down tho
road in pursuit, following three pairs
of tracks, n few hundred yards tar:l.-:
or on lie met Eliza YafboroiGh wlly
reported that she also had been robbed
OF good deal of clothing and some
provisions. Press followed the tracks
into the colored graveyard, and there
on rock in aguily be found sugar and
some Of the Clothes. He then turned
back and got Charlie Brown and
Frank Williams, and the three, among
themselves, spent the day in unsucs
cessful search I'm the woods for the
thieves. A day or two before the
burglary; short thick set, brown
completed fellow was seen iii tie
woods beyond Captain Gaillard's, and
nc Is reported to have gone in the di-
rection of PeaIson's Rock. Doubtless
he was one of the gang. These be,rg-
laries were committed m open day
light.
On Saturday night the residence of
Mr.. F. A. Sitgreaves was entered by o.
burglar, who got in through a win.
dow in the room where the children were
sleeping, then into MIR. Sitgreaves'
room. Distinguishing lamp which
WAS burning, taking sonic articles and
going back into the children's room,
he opened a trunk and began pillaging.
Mr.. SitgrcaVes awoke, and finding no
light, got up to investigate, when the
burglar jumped out of the window and
took to fight. In escrping hc left his
footprints on Che childrens' bed. His
exit was so rapid that he had to drop
