BLAINE IN NEED OF MONEY.
Renting His Expensive House and Writing
aBeok to Increase His Income.

A Washington special to the Philadelphia
Times says: In connection with the renting
of Mr.. Blaine's house bis friends relate that
his investments, though large, are not bring
ing him much ready money at present, and
that for rich man his income 10 not great.
Mr.. Blaine built bis expensive house under
q prospect which through woful change, suf-
fered sudden and total eclipse. II ID no
secret thst the house was part Of political
program. Mr.. Blaine feels that he has no
need Of 1t now, in fact, that he cannot afford
to live In 1t, and has therefore rented 1t 10
live In an humber way. More than . year
ago q real estate dealer was told TO sell the
house II certain price could be obtained
for 1t. Although there has been sharp and
constant demand for first class houses, o. pur.
chaser has not been found.
Mr.. Blaine's principal motive for writing
his book Is precisely the same - with gu.
thors In general, for the money 1t will bring
him. OF course other motives enter into
his lab Dts, but this Is the controlling one.
Nor is he likely to be disappointed, for very
large sale and income to the author, reach
ing into the tens Of thousands, have. It ID
understood, been already assured. Mr..
Conkling will have . place in Mr.. Blaine's
book. 1t is intimsted that the New York
Senator will be mentioned In manner dif.
ferent from what those who view things
through narrow limits might expect. APP
plication was made by Mr.. Blaine's pub
fishers to Mr.. Conkling for . likeness Of
himself from which TO make m engraving
for the book. The pressure Of business or
some other reason prevented Mr.. Conkling
from complying. Despite this, however,

POETRY.
THE OLD STORY.

Alas for the head with the crown of gold;
The tempter came as he came Of old.
Alas for the heart that was glad and light
Alas for the soul that was pure and white!
Censure who may-condemn who must;
1t was perfect faith-it was utter trust
That asked her promise; nor promise mol
sign,
He was hers-she was his by law divine.
He was lifted up; he was set apart;
He filled her though; he filled her heart;
She called him great; she believed him true,
As women will, as women do.
Oh, to betray such tender trust;
God will repay, and He is justt-.
Through wrong and i'll she loves him still,
AS women do, as women will.
Giving little and taking much.
Fickle and false-there are many such
Selfish and cruel-you know the rest
He broke the heart that loved him best.

life is due to BRANDRETHs PILLS which have
been my sole medicine for half century.

ing solely to their use. Your PILLS saved me
many times after the best medical skill in sew
seral States had given mo up as hopeless. Ihave
had many converts to purgation with BRAND
RETH'S PILLS, and have seen them perform
almost miracles of cure. For children, q few
doses have cured measles, scarlet fever and
whooping cough. In all female troubles and
weakness have never known them to fail. In
adult males l have known them to cure the
worst cases of dyspepsia, rheumatism, kidney
diseases, dysentery and diarrhoa; even dropsy
paralysis and apoplexy have yielded to a per-
sistent course of BRANDRETH's Pills, In fact,
] have found them the true Life Elixir. They
act as continual preventives against the effects

Beware OF the Cloak.

A scientist, in the interest of married
men and the oppressed of all nations,
has advanced new idea that will fill
a want long felt. and afford all men who
take advantage of it immediate relief in
this hour of their affection. He says
these new fur lined circulars are un-
healthy and should be abolished. tap
pears that the fur-lined cloak has the
same effect on a woman as q diamond pin
on mans shirt bosom has on the man
who wears it. A man with diamond pin
on cannot have his coat buttoned up, for
fear the pin will not show, and in nine
cases out of ten unless he is careful to
wear sheepskin protector, he catches
an awful cold and IS liable to die. More
has been written by scientists and .nedi-
cal men upon the folly of wearing dia-
mond pins on the shirt front than upon
any other of the modern fashions to
which mortal man is addicted. And it
seems the fur lined cloak is also a worm
that is gnawing at the bud Of our beau
tiful types of womanhood, aud making
consumptives out Of them. The trouble
is a woman is bound to have about five
or six buttons OF her fur-lined cloak I'M
buttoned at the bottom so the cloak will
blow back ami expose the fur. But
women seem determined, in the face OF
all this testimony, tn stick to the fur
lined cloak and embrace death in one of
its most horrid forms. They have

The mouth of the river, when we had
gone near enough to have q good view
OF it from headland, made very noble
picture. The green hills on the south
slope gradually to well-turfed base,
hisling the beach, but showing long
sand-spit running out almost across the

which are calm shadows. The northern
headland. on tine other hand, stands in
bold outline-a point Of sheer cliff jut-
ting between the ocean and the river.
Yet the charge of those waves rolling
from the spicy archipelagoes of the great
South Sea, or from the bleak coasts of
Tartary, is met, not by this mole, but by
an outer row of gigantic isolated rocks,
overlapping the tide as the stones Of
