In fact he hadn't for his own. He had
no care except for tho advancement of
his personal glory. No, his soldiers

tested and cursed him.
"Do you think he had much religious

He undoubtedly had. He was a
strange being, veritablc mystery in

Fossil FORESTS.

The most celebrated of the fossil
forests of which we have any record
are those of Egypt near Cairo, of
Nubia, of Silesia, and Of the island of
Antigua in the West Indies. Other
accumulations of silicifed wood are
known to occur in Chill, New Zealand
and Abyssinia. 1t is also. true that
in the interior OF our own continent,
in Oregon, Nevada and Arizona, as
great and remarkable collections of
silicified tree trunks exist as any found
in other parts of the world. On the
banks of the Little Colorado, in
Arizona not less than one thousand
cords Of silicified wood may be seen
piled up in one locality. Here we
find trunks Of all sizes up to six feet
in diameter, most perfectly and beauti-
fully preserved. In the drift deposits
of Southern Ohio is found an old soil
in many places thickly strewed with
interlaced PROSTATE trunks of trees
which grew upon and in a few
cases these are found buried erect.
This old forest was plainly submerged
by the sinking of land surface or the
elevation of the water level over it, re-
sulting in its burial beneath many feet
of gravel and sand, AS hundreds Of
cases. considered hopeless, have been
permanently cured by Piso's Cure.
If you have premonitory symptoms
of Consumption, such as a cough,
difficulty Of breathing, etc, don't
delay, but use Piso's Cure Immediate
ly.
yet the trees are not mineralized, and
have the appearance of partially
decayed wood but if the subsistence
had been occasioned by volcanic
action, and hot water had been poured
out freely, we should undoubtedly
have found the trees silicifed as we
do the Cascades Of the Columbia,
where volcanic outburst at q much
later date buried quantities of trees
and changed them to masses of silica.

A MUSICAL, ROMANCE.
How Young Girl Became Fond OF Musi
and OF Her Future Husband.

HOW Young tiiri became Fond OF MUSIC
and of Her Future Husband.
There is pretty little story con-
nccted with the marriage rather late
i'm life of the Chevalier Antonio da
Kontski TO Natalie, one of Poland S
patriotic daughters. She had, as a
young girl, an aversion to instru.
mental music. She hated the very
sound of piano, and discouraged
every professor of music who was eli.
gagged by her father to teach this very
necessary feminine accomplishment.
Finally, an English governcss of aus.
tero character venturcd to stake her
reputation on instilling in the mind Of
Natalie an obcdient spirit and an APP.
probation of Bccthovcn's sonatas.
Moral suasion gave place to physical
coercion, and Natals's young life be-
came distasteful to her. One after.
moon, after chastisement by the aus
terc governess, the girl escaped from
the house. and running to the shore
of an ornamental lake, lcaped without
hesitation into the water. She sank
instantly and made no cutlery. When
the shricks of the terrified governes:
brought assistance, Natalie struggled
violently TO beat off her rescuers, but
was saved just in time. Tho gov
crness resigned her charge, and Nata.
lie never learned to play on the piano.
The Clscvalier was forty-fivc years old
when he became guest for the first
time of Natalie's father. She heard
him play Rcvcil du Lion. Her
patriotic instincts told her that the
piece was an allcgory of Poland's his
tory, and for the first time she listened
with interest TO music. Indeed, she
was so delighted that she innoccntly
asked the Chcvalcr to marry her.
Dc Kontski, 10 humor tho child,
gave his promise and went away. Next
year he again visited the mansion OF
the Polish noblcman. Natalie had not
only remembered his promise, but was
thoroughly convinced in hcr own mind
that he would keep it. The pianist
was still bachelor, and. although old
enough to be her father, was so won
by her devotion that he gained the
consent of Natalic's parents to mar
riage when she was fifteen years old.
The wedding took place, and their
married lifo has been very happy.
To-day, the Chcvalier has q long,
white beard. His hair is also white,
but the vigor Of youth is In his frame
and the fire of his genius undimmcd.
Nine. dc Kmtski is always mistaken
by strangers for his daughter. She is
scarcely thirty years old, and still
beautiful Her command of language
is wonderful. She can keep up most
entertaining conversation, replctc with
wit and cloqucnce and bctraying ac-

This fragrant grass, these dcwy flowers;

For waiting days, and tIrcsomc haste,
Shall lift n stately front in air.
Then come, before the day declines.
And hear tho bees among the boughs;

Her crescent in my bloomy house.
Perhaps before the spade shall wound
This turf, TO plant the cares OF earth,

And learn, whatever joys may fly,
