Disappointed Grumblers.

All newspaper publishers are now and
then amused with the tone of letters of
irate correspondents. The disappointed
authors of imprinted fugitive articles
on finance, morality, politics, railroads,
commerce, religion, etc., are very hard
to appease. In their own opinion they
say the right thing at the right time,
and in the very best style, and feel GER
tain that the public are perishing for
the information, instruction, or advice
thus to be impaired. And vet the
stupid editors of the very papers which
1 these writer's patronize as subscribers
day by day cast these luminous produce
tons into the waste basket with the
greatest indifference. 1t may be that
the manuscript rejected has been con-
! ceived in the most benevolent spirit,
being designed to let the public know
that the writer is an excellent lawyer,
doctor, teacher, artist, author, agent,
mechanic, merchant, contractor, gro
Ger, or other dealer, and just where the
public can procure his valuable services
or the merchandise named, of which
opportunity the people are deprived by
the stupidity of the proprietors of the
most admired and patronized journals.
1t is not marvellous that such would
be public benefactor should occasional
ly feel outraged with the thickheaded-
ness which illustrates his benevolent
designs, and that in fit of virtuous in
dignation he notifies the editor that his
paper ''must be stopped"
We do not desire to rob any one of
the slightest pleasure in this duh world,
but such people deserve to be told two
things: First, that the pecuniary suffer-
ing occasioned by the loss of an occa-
slonal subscriber is not great, the usual
subscription price of most news jour-
mails being not much more than the cost
OF the white paper on which they are
printed, and it is always happening in
the office of 1ourishing and growing
journal, that pari passu with such
notices new subscriptions, ten times as
numerous, are sure to be received, so
that the huffy, disseminating subscriber
is not much missed; and, secondly, that
people who do not own newspapers and
desire to spread information before the
public for their own personal satisfac-
ton or pecuniary profit, ought to pay
its reasonable and necessary cost, since
it must be paid for by somebody.
Either the owner of the journal or the
parties interested in such matters must
pay the compositors for putting manu-
script in type, the proof-reader for cor
recting its false photography and bad
grammar, the foreman for supervising
the work, the pressman, feeders, en-
gineers and folders, and the one or the
other must pay for the ink, paper, coal,
gas, rents, interest on capital invested,
wear and tear of type, presses and
machinery, and the wages of clerks
necessary to transact such business

This verse, Mr.. Green said, gave the!
only evidence to the people Of the nine
steenth century that three thousand
years ago transportation companies
sexaeted q tariff from all passengers
over their lines. The sacred writer
should also have stated in this con-
nection to what extent it was then GUS
tomary to water stock. Jonah had
taken the journey indicated in the text
in opposition to Gods will, and he
found it eventually the most expensive
trip OF his life. In like manner young
man had gone to Omaha few days
since on . cut rate, but when that young
man has paid twenty dollars to return
where ne paid one dollar going, he
learned to his sorrow that he should
look before he leaped- that he should
count the cost before he took the cheap
road in his journey Of life.

which genius was supposed to make
in attaining success were generally
dishonest, only the long steady work

the means by which the honest man got
the object of his ambition. Under the
guise of genius many men were trying
to, steal the rewards of perseverance.
In the wilderness Christ was offered .
cut rate by the Devil, but He chose the
long, hard, costly journey, which foot
sore and weary He pursued for three
years. To day the Devil was offering
a cut rate to every ambitious man.

Using Nerve Stimulants.

''What nerve stimulant will you take
to-day?" clerk in a Chestnut street
store asked an exhausted fat man who
was sitting on chair before the soda
fountain looking very miserable.
''Same old stuff" responded the fat
man, and the clerk poured an efferves-
cling liquid from a bottle into the
bottom of glass, and then filled up
with soda. The customer quaffed it
off and then left the store apparently
little better.
Look at that" exclaimed a prom
inent physician, in disgust, to a re-
porter. That's the way the American
Nation trifles with it's nerves, and no
wonder it suffers from brain and similar
troubles. Every day There is some
fresh nerve stimu1ant put upon the
market, and people take them as if
they weren't any more dangerous
than water. It's as bad as
the opium habit. There is use and
abuse of that sort of thing, but most
people abuse it. When they are feeling
badly they go and takehromatic spirits
of ammonia, bicarboIhte of soda or
some new-fangled Phosphate. Of
course all the stimulaits are put for
ward as foods, but thet are not"
sis the practice groting?"
"Of course it is, orthe inventors of
the stimulants would lot increase and
multiply as they do. Americans run
riot with their nervoui systems. They
would be doing mud better if they
took little more sle$ and longer va
cations. I don't SCI why these nerve
medicines sh6lld bd1sed to keep the
brain excited, when as matter of
fact, the American atmosphere is more
stimulating than TIT of any other
country. A man On do more work
here without feelinat than he can in
Europe. But whiIit is a land where
the brain can 60 Ike a steam en-
CINE without artitidl excitement, it is
also land of stf ng reactions, and
this, perhaps, accents for one of the
most steadily incIasing branches of
the drug business. My advice to peo-
pie is not to try tengineer their own
NERVES, or they wi come to grief. -

CHAPTER XVIII.

MR.. AND MRS. TOOKEY.
On the day arranged, early on the
morning after the dinner at Littel AL
resford Park, John Gordon went up to
London. He has been much moved by
the intimation made to him by Mr..
Whittlestaff that some letter should be
written to him at his London address.
He had made his appeal to Mr.. Whit
tlestaf, and had received no answer
whatever. And he had, after fashion,
made his appeal also to the girl. He
felt sure that his plea must reach her.
His very presence then in the house had
been an appeal to her. He knew that
she so far believed in him as to be con-
scious that she could at once become his
wife-if she were willing to throw over
his rival. He knew also that she loved
him-or had certainly loved him. He
did not know the nature of her regard;
nor was it possible that he should ever
know that, unless she were his wife.
She had given promise to that other
man, and-it was thus he read her
characteristic could be trUs to her
promise without any great heart-break.
At any rate, she intended to he true to
it. He did not for q moment suspect
that Mr.. Whittlestaff was false. Mary
had declared that she would not with
draw her word-that only from her own
mouth was to be taken ner intention of
such withdrawal, and that such inten-
ton she certainly would never utter.
OF her character he understood much
but not quite all. He was not aware OF
the depth of her feeling.
But Mr.. Whittlestaff he did not under
stand at all. Of all those vacillating
softnesses he knew nothing--or of those
moments spent with the poet, in which
he was wont to fight against the poets
pretences. and of those other moments
spent with Mrs. Baggett, in which he
would listen to, and always finally re-
ject, those invitations to manly strength
which she would always pour into his
ears. That Mr.. Whittlestaff should
spend hour after hour, and now day
after day, in teaching himself to regard
nothing but what might best suit the
girls happiness-of that he was alto
Sether in the dark. To his thinking,
Mr.. Whittlestaf was hard man, who,
having gained his object, intended to
hold fast by what he had gained. He,
John Gordon. knew, or thought that he
knew, that Mary, as his wife, would
lead happier lie than with MIR. Whit
tlestaff But things had turned out un-
fortunately and there was nothing for
him but to return to the diamond-fields.
Therefore he had gone back to Lon
don with the purpose of preparing tor
his journey. A man does not start for
South Africa tomorrow, or, if not to-
morrow, then the next day. He was
aware that there must be some delay;
but any place would be better in which
to stay than the neighborhood of Crok-
er's Hall. There were things which
must be done, and people with whom
he must do it; but of all that he need
say nothing down at Alresford. There
fore, when he got back TO London, he
meant TO make all his arrangements
and did so far settle his affairs as TO take
berth on one of the mail steamers
He had come over in company with 8
certain lawyer, who had gone out to
