Most women naturally look forward 10
mEtrimony as their proper sphere in life, but
they should constantly bear in mind that 4
brir, rosy face, bright eyes, and a healthy,
well-developed form, are the best passports
to happy marriage. All those wasting dis
orders, weaknesses, and functional Irregular
ties peculiar to their sex, destroy beauty
and attractiveness and make life miserable.
An unfailing specific for these maladies is to
be found in DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
It Is the only medicine for women, sold by
druggists, under q positive guarantee
from the manufacturers, that it will give
satisfaction In every case, or money will be re-
funded. This guarantee has been printed on
the bottle-wrappers, and faithfully carried
out for many years. S10O per Bottle, or Six

CHAPTER ~,

Another month passed; the beauty of
the summer deepened, the corn was grow
ing ripe in the fields, the crimson roses
contrasted with the cool white lilies, the
fruit hung rich and mellow on the trees.
while Ismay Waldron still looked with
longing eyes toward the world that she
wished to enter. She still gave every
thought to the one master passion of her
nature. In vain the ring-doves cooed, and
the lark scared high with its triumphant
song; in vain the flowers bloomed, and her
pretty child stretched out his little hands
to her. She was always thinking, always
dreaming of that possible future wherein
Paul might grow rich, and every desire of
her heart be gratified
She had ceased to wonder about her
mother; all the romantic visions that she
had once woven faded into ObscurIty; her
life seemed planned and arranged; moth
ing could alter it. She was Paul Wal
dron's wife, and she loved him. She
wished for no greater love than his: but.

she was beautiful. To have her beauty
adorned by costly dresses and rich jewels,
to live in grand house, to have servants
to wait upon her, seemed to Ismay Hope
the very acme of bliss.
She did not stop to consider how vision
airy after all was Paurs idea of growing
rich. He would show her occasionally
models of steam-engines or of looms, and
tell her that a patent for this invention
and that improvement would make him a
wealthy man. He painted the future for
her in glowing colors, and after many
months of chivalrous wooing he persuaded
her to be his wife.
Did she love him then? Many times in
the dark after years Ismay Waldron asked
herself that question. She believed she
did; his devotion, the fiattery of his great
love, was as needful to her as the air she
breathed. 1t was grand thing, too, to
win the love of the handsome keeper; all
the young girls envied her. She did not
dislike the idea of being her own mistress.
Mrs. Hope had always been very strict
with her; the cottage, moreover. was a
pretty home; and then Paul loved her So
oh, how dearly he loved her! She was
very young to marry, but Mrs. Hope
seemed to think that did not matter.
II shall die easier, child, when my turn
comes" she said, ''if have left you in the
charge of a good man"
Would she ever have a chance of doing
better9 1t did not seem probable. The
inhabitants of Ashburnham were quiet,
prosaic people. They admired her bright
beauty. but they were not Of the kind who,
blocking in fair face, forget the whole
world" The young squires and farmers,
with most laudable intentions, always, to
use their own expression, married
money" they admired pretty faces, but
they required something more. The men
who looked up to her with keenest admir-
alton were not men whose position had
any attractions for her.
She thought long and seriously over the
| matter There were many old maids in
Ashburnham, and to Ismay, SO bright and
beautiful. so full of vitality, their lot
seemed almost uncomfortable. Then few
strangers ever came to Ashburnham.
She might spend her life there, and never
have another offer of marriage so good as
this.
1t was prosaic way of looking at the
matter. She repeated the question to her
self-Shoulds she ever do better' Not there,
in that quiet little town; it was not prob
able. So one bright summer morning
Ismay became Paul Waldron's wife, and
he took her home to his pretty cottage.

A Cat at Meeting.

In the course of a prayer meeting in the
vestry of New Bedford church pleasant
looking pussy cat, with tail erect, came in
and walked leiSurely to prominent place on
the platform. A member of the church took
her in his arms and put her outdoors at one
side of the building, but in less than two
minutes she came in at another door and
walked again to the platform with all due
gravity and homelike manner. Then the
janitor took Miss Pussy, who was a very
tame pet and allowed any one to handle her
as he pleased, and went out with her through
dark room in which spare settees are piled.
He had scarcely closed the door that shut
him from the light when he tumbled over
some Of the loose furniture, making racket
that caused considerable laughter Even
the pastor could not help wreathing his
mouth in marks of parenthesis. The janitor
is persistent man, and he put the cat out
and returned in triumph. But his triumph
was of short duration, for pussy soon came
in again. Before she got TO the platform
wise lady picked her up and held her to tie
close of the meeting. Boston Herald.

Boiler Inspection.

While the agitation about state boiler in
spection is going on, | would like to see some
provision made for the inspection Of locomo-
tive boilers. The United States looks after
the steamboat boilers, and why not have a
federal law providing for inspection Of locomo-
tivesf If railroad companies were as careless
as some classes of steam users in the employ
ment of engineers, there would be far greater
fatality from locomotive boiler explosions
than there is. Take a switch engine, that is
almost constantly running up and down in
clines and reversing her motion. When going
down grade the water all runs into the for
ward part of the boiler, leaving portions Of
the fues exposed to the fire. Then, when she
is reversed, or when she starts to mount the
next grade, the water comes back around the
fire box with rush. The average locomotive
boiler, in the hands Of the average country
saw mill engineer, would last about forty
minutes, or long enough to get up good

Literary Annoyancss.
it Is one Of the minor annoyances Of an
authors life indeed that the world at large
can never be made TO recognize this plain
fact, but constantly insists on identifying the
writer with his books or his articles. 1t
takes it for granted that he writes what he
likes and that he chooses his themes because
he is personally interested in them. Some
times it scolds him for his evil selections:
oh, how can you write such hOrrid thngsp
or, why do you always make your plots so
dreadfully bloodthirsty" while he, poor in
nocent soul, with his finger to his mouth,
would probably far prefer to spin out a
pretty idyllic story about the,domestic loves
of two nice young people who after many
vicissitudes were happily married, or to en-
tighten the world to the best of his ability on
the precise relations of the double stars to the
unresolved nebul@.

Why, that tedious article was written to

plates already engraved, for the editor of a
leading art magazine; and you take about as
much personal interest in the plastic art of
Corinth or of Corioli as a shoemaker takes in

all up as Mr. Potts young man mugged up
the subject of Chinese metaphysics, and as
soon as you had delivered your soul, accord
ing to contract, of the 5000 words neither
more nor less sufficient to imbed those eight

this time the charming SAVIOR faire of the
hostess had made. us feel quite at home, and
we were soon gesticulating gayly and famil-
iarly together The hostess had the tact TO
use the most simple Persian expressions such
as we would be likely TO hear daily among
servants or Persian attendants She had the
naive simplicity Of child In everything,
even to our dresses, and expressed herself as
frankly. The soft gray Of my daughters
gown she objected to rs too dull, and she
wondered did not dye her golden hair with
henna.
Our lives are like pleasant stream that
runs in narrow valley. Iran is an old and
great country. Its shahs are wise, from
their DEGREES we cannot demuri And after
all we are perhaps as happy as any"
All the while the wife of the prince-one Of
the most superbly beautiful creatures we had
ever seen in any country-a purely physical
type of beauty, stood silently near
She rarely spoke; her rich red lips had the
naughty curve of the Khajar, she had fine
features, richly tinted complexion, quite
natural, and magnificent dark eyes with long,
curling lashes. Her finely formed brow was
shaded by bang of slightly curled dark hair,
and the general effect spite of the imposed
Difference of her manner, gave the impress
sion of a woman Of strong character and in
domitable pride.
The prince had now psovidentially returned
and escorted the ladies to the music room of
the palace. He desired his guests to play
upon the piano for him | chose a well
known imitation of the banjo, which pleased
him greatly; afterward a more elaborate sell
lection seemed only to amuse
We now expressed a wish to hear some
Persian airs, which the prince played very
willingly and effectively, though in the sim
plest manner, drumming them on the piano
with two or three gloved fingers the prince
wore white cotton gloves during the visit,
of course played solely by ear He also es-
sayed, not badly, one or two Russian airs
The proud princess, his wife, could not sit
in his presence, nor could she ever sit If the
mother or the guests were standing, therefore
from time to time she disappeared in the ad-
joining room
On the whole, the impression given by this
and other visits among Persian women Of
rank was very favorable.
Wholly uneducated in the western sense of
the word, they are yet spirited, intelligent
and observing.
The most interesting and charming woman
we saw in Persia was undoubtedly the AuiSa

John Stuart Mill, in very characteristic
part Of his writings, says: Success in life may
be compared to what we see at every crossing
in a large city At the crossing, one man
arrives just in time to pass to the other side
before one or, it may be, more carriages
block up the way, but another man equally
as smart comes up a second later and has to
wait till the roadway is cleared of the OBJ
struction. The first of these men, it may be,
has caught the train which shall carry him
to the scene of some lucky business transac-
ton; whilst the latter, through the delay,
may have missed the best opportunity ever
presented to him in life" On such a smile
it is quite possible for many minds to enlarge,
or even criticise; but on the whole, Mills
illustration is a very true one, for it is the
lesson Of experience. Chambers Journal

you cannot guess whether she is the wife
of gentleman or of small tradesman.
Notice that she often changes the style
of her hair. That is because she knows
that love lives on trifles, and that the
best dishes become insipid if they are al
ways served with the same sauce. Even
if her stock of clothes is scanty, her
clever brain and fingers help her to cover
its deficiencies by constant little changes.
With two or three dresses in her posses

YOU believe that she has a we'll filled

have often in England heard French
women called frivolous. But this is the
height of absurdity, and, in my quality
of Frenchman, surely l ought to be as
good judge of the point as the English
tourist. How can French women, who
are perhaps, of all women in the world,
the most initiated into the affairs of their
husbands, be frivolous? If frivolity con-
sists in trying to remain young and at
tractive as long as possible without be-
coming ridiculous, then the French bour
geoise is frivolous.
If, again, frivolity consists in making
a home cheerful and gay, and prevent
ing husband from being absorbed by
the cares of business, then she is frivol-
GUS. But this is nonsense. Is she friv-
olous, this woman who is the friend and
confidante of her husband-who, in i'm
portant matters as well as in the small
est, has both consultative and deliber-
ative voice in the household? 1t is she
who knows, with her economy and good
management, how to face the danger
when, from one cause or another, the
family revenue diminishes; it is she who
knows, with her energy, how to ward
off ruin from her threshold. If this
woman were frivolous, how could you
explain the alteration for the mother
which. even to the lowest of the low,
you find in French children? How
could this be, unless she were the exam
pie of all domestic virtues? If a French
man of 40 would hesitate to take an i'm
portant step in life without first consult
