During an acute attack of Bronchitis, q
ceaseless tickling in the throat, and an
exhausting, hacking cough, aflict the
sufferer. Sleep is banished, and great

come chronic, involve the lungs, and
terminate fatally. Ayers Cherry PectO-
raj affords speedy relief and cure in cases
of Bronchitis. 1t controls the disposition
to cough, and induces refreshing sleep.

A Musical Romance.

There is pretty little story connected
with the marriage rather late in life of
the Chevalier Antonio de Kontski to
Natalie, one of Poland's patriotic
daughters, says the New York Mail and
Express. She had, as a young girl, an
aversion to instrumental music. She
hated the very sound of a piano, and
discouraged every professor of music
who was engaged by her father to teach
this very necessary feminine accom-
plishment. Finally, an English COVER
ness of austere character ventured to
stake her reputation on Installing in the
mind of Natalie an obedient spirit and
an appreciation of Beethoven's sonatas
Moral suaslon gave place to physical
coercion, and Natalie's young life be-
came distasteful to her. One afternoon,
after chastisement by the austere COVER
ness, the girl escaped from the house,
and running to the shore of an orna-
mental lake leaped without hesitation
into the water. She sank instantly,
and made no cutlery. When the shrieks
of the terrified governess brought as
sistaDce Natalie struggled violently to
beat off her rescuers, but was saved Just
in time. The governess resigned her
charge, and Natalie never learned to
play on the piano. The chevalier was
forty-five years old when he became a
guest for the first time of Natalie's
father. She heard him play "Revell du
Lion. Her patriotic instincts told her
that the piece was an allegory of Po-
lands history, and for the first time she
lIcfnnnh irNfa m In
she was so delighted that she innocent
ly asked the chevalier to marry her.
De kontski, to humor the child. gave
his promise and went away. Next year
he again visited the mansion of the
Polish nobleman. Natalie had not only
remembered his promise, but was thor
oughly convinced in her 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 had gained the con-
sent of Natalie's parents to marriage
when she was fifteen Years old. The
wedding took place, and their married
life has been very happy.
To-day the chevalier has a long.
white beard His hair is also white,
DuI llc NlSor OF youth is IN MS frame
and the fire of his genius undimmed.
Nine. de Kontski is always mistaken by
strangers for his daughter. She is
scarcely thirty years old. and still beau
tiful. Her command of language is
wonderful. She can keep up a most
entertaining conversation. replete with
wit and eloquence, and betraying aceu-
rate information on every topic, in
either the English. French, Russian,
Polish, or Italian tongue.
