On the night Of May q, 1s4o. at Nice, an
immortal musician lay dying.
The windows were open wide, the cur.
tains Of the bed drawn, and the moon, shin.
Ing in the peerless glory Of an Italian SKY,
flooded the apartment.
A young Spanish woman, In the full
prime Of her beauty, entered and stood
sorrowfully for moment or two gazing ct
the attenuated skeleton upon the bed.
At that instant the night wind gently
stirred the leaves outside.
This sound seemed to affect the sick man:
It brought him possible memories Of his old
home on the Arno; but now the Arno Was
exchanged for the broad Mediterranean
ablaze with beauties Of. the night.
He moved unessily snd opened his eyes.
They fell upon the weeping woman in tho
doorway: -. 81"
''Saint Nicolo" she CRIED at Is Gulnare
whom you befriended 80 long ago."
:, The dying man tried to smile.
A. Mozart, in his last moments pointed
TO the score Of his Requiem, which lay
before him Upon the bed, and initiated With
his lips the effect OF the kettle drums, 90 Il
is recorded Of Paganini that fair moonlie
night that. - the first dimness of death
came upon him, he stretched forth his hand
for his old companion. the Guarnerius vic.
lin, and attempted to strike the opening
chords Of his "Benedicite."
When he found that 1t could no longer
speak with its old magic, he himself sank
back and expired, as II crushed at last in
the discovery that faint confused noise
was left Of the strains he had created and
the world worshiped..
Day broke almost instantaueously In Q
broad streak Of violet light over the Medi-
terranean causing its waves to simmer in
amethyst and gold.
Gulnsre clasped her hands and sank upon
her knees. l... ..-

angels welcome Saint Nicolo to heaven."-

All the happiness that life could contain
was gathered and gsrnered into thxt one
most exquisite hour, when, alone together
upon the Mediterranean, they drifted under
the shadow Of the shore, with no thought
for the future. .
The boats keel grated upon the sand and
- Leonidas Gulnare stepped upon the
beach, two figures emerged from the thick
woods beyond.
"Dog Of Jewr" cried one, .'dost dare TO

Savior on, when he was aweary and refused
to let him sit, thinkest thou that will be
more merclful to thee! Hence. say, hence,
or by the blessed saints, thou'lt ne'er again

Gulnare drew tremblingly closer to Leon

to speak.

The Warrensburg, Missouri, Star informs
US of the death in that city of Mrs. Dufiied,
widow of the late Alfred Duffield formerly
of this county. She was daughter of the
late Capt. Meriwether Thompson and sis
ter of Gen. N. JEFF. Thompson. She died
on the Sth of August The Star says:
"Mrs. Duffield was a woman OF much more
than ordinary force of character. She ruled
her own household as she ruled and gov
erned her own life-with that quiet, gentle,
Christian frmness that never needs to be
explained in order to be fully understood
and APPRECIATED. She had lived in the
county for more than thlrd of century :;
and to her influence Christian mothers in
this community were much indebted for
high degree of morality. She was the
mother of twelve chidren-eight girls and
four boys-eleven of whom survive her."

GOOD WAGES FOR GOOD FITTING.
In large cities is q constant demand for good
Filters at salaries ranging from Sl5 to so a
week. There are hundreds of young women
throughout the country who have the taste
and talent to fill such positions; all they want
is an opportunity, and knowledge of the laws
that govern the art of dress making. A want
of this knowledge precludes the possibility OF
reaching a high position as Cutter and Filter.
We will help you in this matter. We teach
YOU in detail the art of cutting. That our me-
thod is not hard TO learn is clearly demonstra-
ted by the following testimonials of some of
the best citizens of Grafton, w. Va. Wecould
