the CCTICURA RESOLNENT. his head was
completely cured, and he was Improved In
every way. We were very much encOur-

dies for o year and hall. One sore alter
another healed. a bony mstter forming In
each one OF these i've deep ones just before
healing. which would finally grow loose
and were taken out; then they would
heal rapidly. One Of these ugly
bone formations l preserved. After
taking a dozen and a haif bottles he was

six years q strong and healthy child. The
scars on his hands must always remain:
his hands are strong, though we once feared

intelligence of the marriage of George
Gould and Edith Kingdom in Paris, i'm
mediately following the publication Of
my letter giving an account of their
love. The report was founded on the
fact that Miss Kingdom accompanied
Mr.. Gould to the embarking point at
Calais when he left for his continental
tour, and was consequently premature.
Letters which l have recently received
from London from friends Of the two
parties almost shed halo OF romance
over the story l recently unfolded. 1t
appears that the Prince Of Wales attended
the third performance of the Daily Com
pany at the Strand Theatre, and was
smitten on sight with the beauty Of
Miss Kingdom. The coquetterie OF Miss
Rehan and the black eyes of Miss
Dreher charmed him not, and at the
end Of the second act he exerted his
royal prerogative Of sending for Miss
Kingdom to como into bis box. Miss
Kingdom, however, declined the honor
unless il was also extended to the other
ladies' Of the company. At the close of
the next set the royal command was
extended TO the ladies Of the CON-
pany, and they formally assem-.
bled ct the door chaperomsd BY
Mrs. Gilbert With Miss Rehsn
on her right. Miss Kingdom modestly
kept in the background, evidently
chsrishing thoughts Of the absent youth
whom she had left in New York, and
who, no doubt, was in her mind q much
man, with his swarthy, po-
stic features, glistening black eyes, and
tiny little moustachs, than the bushy,
heavy, bold. rsd.iacsd, bearded Prince,
resting his covstiDg eyes upon her.

istern
The dinner was just about to begin when tina
new boarder came ia. He was most unquesti0n-
ably clerical gentleman. His face, and dress.
and demeanor all showed it. He was quiet, sof-
emn and suhdued, and the usual ribaldry Of tho

The Grand Schedule.

Had you met her sooneri" Now hush, say,
Such talk is foolish, and vain. and rash.
II the flying express that rushed by to-day,
Onehalf hour sooner had passed this way,
Think of the ruin, the fearful smash,
That would have resulted!-the wreck and wrack
Of two wild trains on single track
The Great Director of human fate
Makes out our timetable, gives US our route.
No soul is ever too soon, or late
He bids as hurry or bids US wait;
And we must not worry, Or fret, or doubt.
Life, love, destiny, work by rule,
If we only will trust to that Grand Schedule.
And so, believe me, it was for the best.
That she was side-tracked, while on you went,
Till now in the Station of Love- most blest
When Peace has slackenod your speed both rest
And the danger is past of an accident.
The Great Director of lives, say,
Knew what was right when he cleared the way.
