Advice to Young La dies.

The celebrated DR.. John Dow, 90 -
sermon, gave the following advice to
the young ladies of his flock: The
buxom, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked,
bouncing lass, who can darn stock
ing, make her own frocks, command a
regiment of pots and kettles, feed the
pig, chop wood, milk cows, wrestle
with the boys, and be IA lady withal in
company, is just the sort of girl for me
and for any worthy man to marry. But
you, We pining, moping, lolling, screw
ed-up, wasp-waisted, mortgaged, mu-
sic-murdering, novel-devOuring daugh-
tiers of fashion and idleness, you are no
more fit for matlimony than a pulletis
to look after family of fourteen
chickens. The truth is, my dear girls,
you want more liberty and less fash
ionable restraint, more kitchen and
less parlor, more exercise and less
sofa, more pudding and less piano,
more frankness and less mock modesty,
more breakfast and less hustle. Loose
yourselves little, enjoy more liberty,
breathe the pure atmosphere of free
dom, and become something as lovely
and beautiful as nature designed"

and Elvira opened her eyes and half
sat up.
The ball which had caused

Her voice rose TO Il scream. which in
its agony pierced Dorothy's heart.
"Oh, do something for her-do
something for herr" she entreated,
raising tear-dimmed eyes to the sur
geOn's face.
But even as the words left her lips
they saw that it was too late.
Lady Ruskln's voice ceased sicden-
ly; she fell back-she was dead.
But with death stealing swiftly upon
each one of that little devoted band
there did not seem so great gulf be-
tween them.
Each minute licked by the clock
brought the end nearer, nearer,
nearer.
All who could do service were
doing what their failing means allow
ed to prolong the struggle in
despairing hope; but Dorothy knelt
by Lord Testers side in the room in
which her dead cousin lay.
Eberhard had sunk upon n couch,
exhausted by the effort lately made.
Dorothy held his hand in silence; his
arm around her waist; her weary head
was pillowed on his shoulder; her
other hand held the tiny revolver
firmly.
You will remember" she said,
looking in his face for an instant.
I've will die together, he said,
quietly. ''Ah, darling, that is all We
can hope for now!"
kneeling there the girl prayed half
audibly, half brokenly, and the mans
deeper voice joined in the holy solemn
words.
Only a Higher Power could save
them now; all hope of human aid was
given up.
"What is that-what is that?"
Dorothy exclaimed, suddenly starting
to her feet. "Oh, Eberhard, is it
truc?"
She raised her revolver and looked
at him.
Hush" he said, putting his hand
on the tiny weapon, as he stood erect
listening intently with ashen face.
''Those are not the voices Of those
brutes outsides, Dorothy; that is an
English cheer-those are our own
men joining! That is the strain OF an
advancing band! They are here at
last! They are coming in time! My
darling. we are savel"'
For one instant Dorothy stood lis
tening to the advancing clear-growing
sounds-stood with her lovers arm
tightly around her, her pale pure face
irradiated by wondrous glow.
For one instant she turned and look
ed into the eyes seeking hers with a
passion of tenderness and love in their
depths.
Then, as the rescuing music echoed
close at hand, and the cheers rose
long and loud, the girl slipped to the
ground, and knelt there with claspcd
hands and appraised eyes.
LET us thank God, Eberhard,' she
| sobbed.

Of the business man than he. Earn :

were his leading characteristics, while

firm Of Dunlop, Moncdre q McCance.
