prettiest young ladies and matrons OF
Hartford display much proficiency in
performing on the despised instrument

My Love.

Listen of my lady fair,
Mild blue eyes and bright brown hair,
Pretty lips Of rosy hue,
In her cheeks are dimples two.
Such pretty, dimpled chin
Sure most any heart to winl
Skips she round right merriIy,
With soul brim full Of glee.
As the stars shine from the skies,
Gently beam her loving ewes;
She's endowed with queenly grace,
Fitted she for any place.
Can you wonder that love
Such a charming little dove,
And that she is true to me
As darling wife can be2

Then and Now.

Then and Now.
"I Wit h we're boy againP'
Thus wrote pensive bard,
But twas foolish vish to pen.
Though trouble pressed him hard.
Oh, who to childhood would return,
Repeat his chequered years;
Once more their rigid lessons learn,
Of turmoil, toll and tears
What brighter RACES would be traced
Within the book of time;
What record Of wrong words erased
What deeds show more sublime2
Alas, the human will is weak
To curb the passions wild;
Man may not think or act or speak
With nature undefled.
And should he tread life's path again,
Not all the garnered lore,
Reaped from the harvests that have been,
Would make him err no more.
The same temptations still would rise
To tempt his tickle clay;
The same dark clouds obscure the skies,
The same snares fill his way.
And then, as now, would he repeat
The follies Of the past;
Hurl prudence from it's regal seat,
And truth behim him cast.
No ardent longings can repair
4 The moments fed away;
But those may be improved with care
That come to us to-day.
They bear adown times rushing tide,
Like ships, precious freight,
That must, for veal or woe decide
Mems everlasting fate.

OISPOSSESSING A WIDOW.

your client, Truesdell," said Charlie
Monier to his law partner, Sam Norton.
. "I have observed that you were be-
coming demoralized lately, but did not
suppose you would be ready to sell out
client" replied Norton. "Let us
know, however, what the job is, and if
it has an innocent look perhaps I will
90 in for chances and shares"
Allen Truesdell, against whom this
plot was forming, had been in the hands
Of these lawyers only few weeks. He
had lately come from another part OF
the State, and had been buying, through
them, valuable paper-mill property,
located on the river a few miles below
the city. Monier & Norton had been
his attorneys in the transaction. and had
realized handsome professional fee. In
connection with that business there had
also been some collateral transactions
through which an overdue mortgage
for eleven thousand dollars had come
into the hands OF their client. The
property held by the mortgage was a
handsome homestead, belonging to a
widow lady, Mrs. Trowbridge. young
or at least not very old-not more than
thirty-two-and beautiful woman.
Mr.. Truesdell had not yet seen the
property or it's owner. The mortgage
had been taken on the assurance of his
attorneys that the security was ample
The lady's deceased hus band, Charles
Trowbridge, had died suddenly three
years before, and left considerable real
estate in badly entangled condition.
He had been bold, ambitious operator,
and not very prudent; made new pur-
chases continually with money raised by
mortgaging anything on which mort
gage could be placed, until even his
family residence, the property OF his
wife, had, by her consent, reluctantly
given, become involved to the extent ol
more than half it's real value.
Mrs. Trowbridge had one child liv.
ing, her little boy, Ruby, now six years
old, and for his sake she had been doing
her utmost to save what she could Of the
property her husband left, and she had
managed so successfully thus far that
when q sale was inevitable she had b ser
able to effect it herself, and not leave
that ceremony to be performed by thu
eheriff.
The reader has probably suspected b.
this time that the job those lawyers wer
preparing to put up on their client wa
not likely to be very serious or damag
ing. They had learned from incidenta
remarks Of his that he had been
widower for several years and had
family consisting of two little daughter
and his youngest sister, also q Made
Aunt of his deceased wife, who wa
managing his family affairs, but not j
very satisfactory way.
"The Trowbridge property" said Nj
Monier to his partner, twill just SUI
our client for residence. and th
right and easy way for him to get 1T wi
be to bid it in under foreclosure sail
and then dispossess the widow"
"a charming idea, said Norton, "b1
OF course he must see the property
the first place, and determine how muc
he will be willing to give for it."
"Mrs. Trowbridge, believe ?"
A graceful bow was the lady's answe
and the visitor added
"Mr. Truesdell."

Opinions respecting the nature OF
the sun-spO's vary widely. Secchi
thought they were cletts filed with
metallic vapors Weber and KirchhOtr,
that they were clouds of smoke Refs,
that they were clouds of vsporized
oxyhdrste of iron and Faye, Zoliner,
Gautier, Spil!er and Spoorcr, that they
were dross formed by cooling of the
SUMS fiery matter. None Of these the
cries is fully satisfactory. The hypoth-
c-i5 Of the clouds of smoke hardly
agrees with the immensely high tenn
perature we have to aecrihe to every
part Of.the suns surface, and a suppO-
stion of q drOss would require a greater
degree OF cooling than could possibly
take place there. Herr Edmund Won
Ludwighausen Wolff has advanced the
theory in :.Kesmos'' that the spots, in
stead of being cooler, represents parts
Of the sun that are vastly hotter than
the rest Of its body; that is, tlat they
are regions in which all the heat-move-
ments have reached the intensity of
the ultra violet and invisible rays
Consequently they appear dark. Herr
Wolf remarks that Serchi'S ohserva-
ton that the spots gave cut not less but
more heat than the rest Of the SUMS
surface, and Fraunhofpr'S that the
forces that produce the spertrurn-Iines
appear to he mere active in the spots
and the fact that flashes If light are
frequently seen to spring from the
midst Of then, are contradictory to all
previotsly-received theories, bat agree
fully with that which he proposes, and
are clearly explainahIe by it.

ordeal Of comparison, of publicity, Of attack
from smaller Houses-inevitable with the
practice of this method of dealing But the
meaning of this term, ZONE PRICE" has
been wrongfully and shamefully perverted
by many dealers. They cannot and dare not
practice in its true and full sense, which is
ONE PRICE for the same article to every
customer, and no less taken. Such Houses
cloak fraud by making it mean simply ONE
PRICE ON EACH TRANSACTION. That is, if
the Salesman, after Judging of the appear
anCe of a customer, chooses to ask SIS for a
dress pattern, he will not stand beating
down" but he may ask the very next pur-
chaser who comes only So for the same dress.
Such facts are unpleasant to talk about-yet
not more unpleasant than to know that
thousands are constantly misled in this way
1t certainly behooves everyone who seeks the
advantages of ONE PRICE STORES,
not to place their confidence at random.
