Don't Give Up the Ship.

You have been told that consump- tion is incurable; that when the lungs are attacked by this terrible malady, the sufferer is past all help, and the end is mere question of time. You have noted with alarm the unmistaka- ble symptoms of the disease; you have tried all manner of so-called cures in vain and you are now Respondent and preparing for the worst. But don't give up the ship while Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery remains un- tried. It is not cure-all, nor will it perform miracles, but it has cured thousands of cases of consumption, in it's earlier stages, where all other means had failed. Try it and obtain a new lease of life.

that this iniquitous duel should go on. At earliest dawn I proposed to rouse the landlord, to stir up the city guard, if needful; nay, to call out the town garrison itself, rather than per init an act of criminal and unnecessary folly. All this, say, I intended. For awhile lay wakeiui and atten- tive; I heard chair pushed back in the adjoining room, and footsteps moving uncertainty to and fro; then deep silence. The young fellow, I concluded, had followed my advice, and betaken himself to bed for an hour or two. The town clocks struck three and with the determination to rouse myself at half-past four, I passed into profound sleep. Alas I was young; was tired out. At half past five fell into uneasy dreams. I dreamed that had risen, that I had dressed in haste, that I had made my way to the poor lad in the adjoining room. He was seated in his shirt sleeveslpn the edge of the bed. "Surely it is not time to go yet" he said, and began to cry like a girl. I dreamed that I awoke, and turned to dream again. This time it was the boy who came in to me as was dressing hastily. "It's all over," he cried joyously. "Not a soul was hurt. I start for home at once." "Thank God" answered and with the words I woke with a start, woke in truth this time, sitting up on my bed bewildered for the moment. It was broad daylight. I looked at my watch; it wanted but twenty minutes to six. caught up my hat and burst into the adjoining room. It was empty. On my headlong way down the stairs I stumbled over my friend, the old waiter. In breath I told him what had happened, and rushed from the house.
 rushed from the house, across the steep-arched bridge, through the town-gate, and out into the wood be- yond. Deep in the heart of the wood stood the ruin; had not a moment to lose. The rain had ceased, but the clouds were still low and threatening. l remember still-I hardly noted at the time-the damp, gray morning air, thick with mist, the drenched weeds and grass, the trees weighed down with moisture, powerless to rally in the dense atmosphere. The road, grassy, cart-rutted track, lay before me, winding among the trees. It lay plain before me to follow, but l thought it would never end; it seemed interminably long; thought that it never would end. I came upon the scene suddenly at last; cleared space, some walls and high springing arches on slender columns,a a grassy level in front, stretching from tree to tree on either hand. I had visited it but yesterday and found it empty of human lite. To-day scat tered group of men occupied the fore- ground. l saw my poor lad; I saw him stand as he had been placed, and raise his pistol with shaking hand. I uttered 8 cry he turned his face for a second; trembling smile on his white lips. "I am here, you see it's all right" he seemed to say. The next moment there was report. The pistol dropped from his hand; he turned and fell face downwards, dead.
 The smile was still on his lips. Poor lad, poor lad.-Temple Bar.

The Story Of a Duel.

sI remember it." said our old friend, s'as though it had happened yesterday. l was youngster then; am getting to be an old man now, but shall never forget it-never. Poor lad, poor lad /!
 I was about e-and-twenty, and on my travels for the first time. In leisurely fashion, had traversed France and Belgium, and crossing the German frontier had reached and taken up my abode for twenty-fo hours in small town with a river and a bridge; confused mass of red-roofed houses, with sheltering, forest-covered hills that favored and shut in its re- moteness from the common highway. It was one of those places whose an- tique air, inherited straight from the middle ages, charms and invites the passer- by; the inn charmed me also, a gabled house on the old market place, with 8 fruitful garden reaching down to the river at the back. The town was not unknown to tourists, but lying apart from the usual track, it was little frequented; and for one reason or another, the inn, when I arr rived, was almost empty. It depended for it's prosperity, however, less on the custom of passing strangers than on it's clientele of commercial travellers, and on the excellent ordinary it pro- vided TOT the townspeople and the off, cers of the small town garrison. The table d'h0te, I found-for my stay was prolonged from the one day had pro- posed to four or five-was always full The guess came dropping in one by one, hanging each his cloak and hat on peg by the door, and with 6 friendly greeting to one and another took each his accustomed seat at the liberal board. Each tucked a napkin under his chin; men and maids flew round the table; chatter of plate. and tongues began. The scene amused me, don't know why; through iti novelty, suppose.
 On the evening of the second day returning from some excursion in tn, neighborhood, too late for the publi, meal, my supper was served in a smal room adjoining the saNe- a -monger A door communicated between tn, two apartments; 1t was closed, but sound of talking acquainted me thA though the table dhote might be over the guests were not yet all dispersed Some dispute was apparently il progress. could distinguish n, words; the speakers, as judged, wer at the further end of the long adjoin ing room but the raised and vehe ment voices, sort of angry clamor rising and falling, argued . quarrel o some kind.

Tell you what l like the best Long about knee-deep in June, Bout the time strawberries melts On the vine-some afternoon Like to jes' git out and rest, And not work at nothin' else!

Ever'thing you hear and see Got some sort O interest Maybe find blueblrd's nest Tucked up there conveniently Fer the boys 'at's apt to be Up some other apple tree Watch the swallers scoOtin' past Bout as peert as you could ast; Er the Bobwhite raise and whiz W n0TD some OLncf s WDiSLIp Ketch shadder down below, And look up to find the crow; Er hawk away up there, 'Pearantly froZe in the air. Hear the old hen squawk, and squat Over every chick she's got, ddent-like And she knows where That air hawk Is, as well as youl- You jes' bet yer life she dol Eyes a. .glitterin' like glass, Waitin' till he makes passi Pewees' singin', to express My opinions second class, Yit you'll hear 'em more or less; Sapsucks gittin' down to biz, Weedin' out the lonesomeness MT. Bluejay full O sass, In them base ball clothes O his, Sportin' round the orchard jes' Like he owned the premlsesl Sun out in the fields kin sizZ, But flat on yer back, guess, In the shades where the glory is! That's jes' what I'd like to do Stiddy fer year or two!
 Plague of they ain't sompin' in Work at kindo' goes agin

 Only jes' a-wishin' you

 Lay out there and try to see Jes' how lazy you kin be! Tumble round and souse your head In the clover bloom, or pull Yer straw hat acrost yer eyes, And peek through it at the skies, Thinkin' of old chums 'at's dead, Maybe smilin' back at you In betwiXt the beautiful Clouds O gold and white and blue!

The young Englishman was still there, seated ir the chair where 1 had left him. Had he never moved? I could not tell, but he was not now alone.

moul6tely apparent. l heard cnalr pushed back, with a movement as of some one suddenly springing to his feet; then silence. I knocked again. This time hesitating footstep crossed the floor, the bolt was opened an inch, then thrown back entirely the young Englishman stood before me.
 He was dressed as I had seen him the previous evening, except that he had removed his necktie, and ex- changed his boots for slippers. In his hand he held candle that feebly lighted up the sparely furnished room, the bed standing in dusky corner, the painted wardrobe and half- dozen chairs, the small table set near the window. It illumined his white face also, and hair hanging loose and damp over his forehead. There was some- thing dishevelled and miserable in his whole appearance, and 8 scared look in his eyes as they met mine, that made me hasten to explain my ap- pearance there.
 "I beg your pardon" said, "for intruding ct this hour, but I feared you might be i'll. wanted to know if I could be of any use to you."

A chair wa pushed back from the table; close by, propped up against another chair, WIS an open portmanteau. The young ! fsiiow znot3oned me to seat, and sanl himself into tho one from which he

 "Could you sleep, do you think, if l left you?" I said.
 "I don't know--Pll try" he said rather vaguely. He closed the book and rose; rose also, and stood irreso- lute. I hardly liked to leave him alone, yet his chance of rest,I thought might be greater 90 than if I re- mained. He understood my doubt apparently.
 "I'm all right now," he said. "l dare say I shall sleep as you say. Thank you for coming in; don't know what I should have done with out you."
 He smiled Aintly and held out his hand: there were tears in his eyes his hand was cold as ice. asked him . few questions, brief, e could make them, about the mornings arrange ments.

He dropped into his chair again, and flung out his arms across the table, burying his face in them. In a moment he looked up.
 "Pve been afraid all my life," he said, speaking low and very quickly. "I can't help it. I can't see things any other way. They used to bully me at school. Once shirked something, and the boys" He broke of. "Only one fellow was good to me-" he went on. "He was older than I was, and he made me promise I'd never shirk a thing through cowardice again; and ] never will"
 looked at him with 6 new senti- ment. "Where is your friend now p I asked after a pause.
 "He is dead," he answered. "He was killed last year, fighting in India"
 He buried his face again, and there was silence for . while. I heard the rain still falling steadily outside, now and then the candle flickered in the breath of night air. At last I spoke "That is no reason-it is no reason at all," said, rising and pacing the room in my turn. "The thing is an ahsurdity, I tell you; no one fighti duels in these days.
