THE NoRTHW EST THURSDAY FEBRUARY Is. 1856

in the years that foliowed-not in what
the world calls society. where people
meet 10 compare their diamonds, envy
each others Paris dresses and talk with
those they never cared two straws about
but In the peaceful shadow Of rich
rooms, where patient sufferers lay wait
ing for the great tide Of eternity to float
them away-in dreary purlieus, where
Mrs. Vining went to scold dressmakers,
and hurry up pale sewing girls. IA
regular sister of charity" said Agnes,
scornfully; "Barbarine was just made
for that sort of thing"
So it happened that Barbarine Cliffe
had occasion to go to her beautiful
rivals handsome house one day 10
plead for an over-worked seamstress to
whom Mrs. Vining owed money-"a
mere trifie"-she called it, but to Ruth
Morris IL was far more than that-and
Antonio, the French maid, showed her
directly to "Madames" own room.
But Barbarine stopped on the
threshold appalled,. Agnes lay with
her face buried among the soft cushions,
the lace scarf torn away from ershould-
ers, the diamonds sparkling like scat
tered dew all over the floor, and her
lovely yellow hair tangled and dis.
heveled.
"Agnes, are you ill?"
Mrs. Vining sat up ghastly pale, with
a wild, hysterical laugh. ft
"Look herel" she cried, holding UP
a sheet of ofcrumpled paper. "Oh, Bar.
barine, you are avenged at lastp'
Yes, she was avenged. Albert Vining
had stricken her down to the very
ground with the same cruel blow he
had dealt poor Barbarine years ago
only keener and more sharp in that he
was her husband. He had left her for
ever, for some fairer and fresher beauty
| who cared for his fascinating ways and
tender voice more than all else the
world had beside of fame or honor. He
had left her! .... I'D.
Barbarine knelt down and took thai
poor dropping head tenderly upon hel
breast
"Ithought you would exult over me!'
sobbed Agnes. II thought you woult
be gladp' 9.
ibid I not tell you, then, that 1 for
gave you, Agnes?' .sl
"Yes-but-but-I have deserved thi
Barbarine. I have filled the cup for my
self, and now drink it to the dregs."
4 And Barbarine, tender and pitiful a
she was, felt that it was true. And sh
was avenged.

Thursday morning an occurrence
took place at the Ohio penitentiary
which was the first Of the kind in the
history of the institution, namely, the
discharge of man and wife, Morris and
Jane Williams. The husband was re-
ceived from Putnam county for two
years for horse stealing, and his wife,
who was sent from her home in Allen
county for one year for grand larceny,
committed the crime in hopes OF being
near here husband. When brought up
before the Judge for senteuce she begged
for enough to keep her until the dis
charge of her husband, but she received
only one year. Her sentence expired
Wednesday, and at the last meeting Of
the boarb Of penitentiary managers it
was decided to parole her husband 80
that both could 60 together. Their
meeting in the clerks Office when they
were brought up to receive their papers
was very effecting as they had not seen
each other for some time. They both
say that they will return to Allen coun-
ty and begin life anew.-Xensd Torch

High and Strong End orsment of Presi
s,4 dent Cleveland. g

The Buffalo Courier says that Cover
nor Hill at q banquet given in N. Y.
recently declared his hearty apprecia-
ton of president Cleveland's honesty,
courage and true Democracy and de-
clared that the National Administra-
tion was administering the Govern
ment wisely, safely, successfully and to
the satisfaction of the people," He
doubtless gave expression to the judg-
ment of vast majority Of the people.
Yet the Governor himself spoke as pro-
nouneed party mar, as one who fully ap-
preciates that cordial accord of the party
with its chosen chief is necessary con-
dition of future political success. 1t is
therefore possible to regard his endorse
ment of the President as a partisan ut
terance not conclusive as to the real
condition of public sentiment. Yet his
remarks have just been supplemented
by those of a prominent Republican,
Judge Noah Davis, a gentleman about
whose standing i'm the party opposed to
the administration there is no doubt
and whose name had been repeatedly
mentioned in connection with high
political honors. Judge Davis, in q
speech made Monday night, referred to
President Cleveland in the following
language: .# =.
$50 far as I am capable of Judging
the man who is at the head of the Gov
ernment of the United States, man
whom I admitted to the bar in West
( ern New York not so many years ago,
who, in the various offices he has been
called upon to fill, has exhibited power
and capacity to do justice between
man and man, and who has reached
almost OF bound, the highest office in
the gift of the people, say to you, Re
publican as am no man has ever sought
tmores ardently than he to do his duty
or, in my very humble opinion, ha:
succeeded better than the President O
the United States"
| Higher praise of a public officer thar
is contained in these words would hard
ly be possible. These successive utter
ances of two fthe strongest party mel
: in the State Of New York prove wha
the people of this State think of th'
Federal Administration. The larg
J number of independent voters who TO
many years have held the balance o
power in New York, and are likely t.
do SO for d long time to come, are sup
porting President Cleveland as cordial
ty as ever. Their views are not alway
correctly reflected by the newspaper
I who speak in their behalf. We hav
no doubt that the confidence repose'
in the Prsident was an important ele
/, ment in the complete success whicl
, the Democracy won at the last election
t in New York. The President is NOR
{ popular to-day than he was at his in
auguration and he has strengthened ned n 7
!. strong in order to be successful in th
. next National contest, namely, in tn
pivotal State of New York.

A health journal says that people
ought to take three-quarters of an hour
for dinner. This is well if there is
enough dinner to hold out SO long. The
penalty for hurrying meals, as most
people do, isa greivous attack of dys-
pepsia. In such case you will have
to resort to Browns Iron Bitters for
cure, as did Mr.. j. r. Pinkston, Short
er's Depot, Ala, who writes, II found
relief in Browns Iron Bitters after years
of suffering from dyspepsia"

Bi.cuis without shorssaiag.

It Is a we'll known fact that most
people use too much lard and other
grease in their cooking. tandsthat many
cases Of dyspepsia are due to this cause.
Whoever teaches ms how TO eurtail the
use Of shortening is benefactor to his
race. 1t seems almost incredible, but
IL is nevertheless true that delicious
biscuit can be made without lard or but
ter. II you will use Prof Horsford's

nary flour and sweet milk most de-
licious result will be obtained. The bis

Why continue the use Of irritating
powders, snuffs or liquids. Ely's Cream
Balm, pleasant of application and a sure
cure for catarrh and cold in head, can
be had for Soc, at druggists. It is easily
applied with the finger, is safe and
pleasant and is curing the most obsti-
nate. 1t gives relief at once.
Being sufferer from chronic catarrh,
and having derived great benefit from
the use Of Ely's Cream Balm can high
tly recommend it. Its sales are far in
excess Of all other catarrh remedies

CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawley
Street, Boston, Mass, writes:
"One year ago 1 was apparently
so far gone with Consumption that
my life seemed only a question of
days rather than months. With
my faith in the ability ofphysicians
to help me all gone, l tried almost
every known remedy, with no an.
parent benefit. Finally, as last
resort, | was induced to try DR.. r
@. Flowers Lung Cordial. The
very first dose gave me relief. and
with the first bottle l took a new
lease of life, and can honestly saw
to-day thatone spoonful ofthis rem
edy is worth more to the sufferer
from Lung troubles than a gallon of
any other knowl remedy. A bottle
of it is now one of my choicest no.
sessions, and at the first symptom
of a cough OF cold l fly to it for the
relief it never fails to give"
DIR. FLOWERS LUNG
CORDIAL is without question
the most wonderful Lung rem.
