Rachel was thinking over her life, ant
by some strange, unexplainablo mes
meric sympathy Willie's mind went bacl
over tho past too. What n friend she
had always been to him and Mary, and
how bravely she had fought her own
battle of life thus far. "She Is n noble
little woman" no said to hi,nself- "a..i
I wisn / was worthy Of her." Then the
clock struck, and Rachel started up. She
drew half signing breath, paused a
moment, then stopped over him and
lightly touched his lips with hers. Be
fore he was aware what ho was doing he
had passed his arm around her neck and
pressed her head to his breast. ''Do you
then love me, little Rachely"
They say love is eloquent by whomever
spoken, and Willie was certainly elo-
quent. The love that was shut up in his
heart all turned and told itself seemingly
without his aid to Rachel, and when
Mary came in she found them sitting
hand in hand, new sweet light in their
faces.
When the June roses blossom there
will be q double wedding in tho little cot
tage and "Teddie" and Willie will both
be happy. Willie has gone back to his
car. He says ho likes the road and likes
tho work, and blesses the day that good
fortune came to him through misfortune.

Language Of very strong feeling, but
of well.balanced brain, none the
less. No man IL better informed

has resulted so disastrously, and Lo

in the outcome, has put tho Rum
Power on the throne The Now York
Tribune which, since the death OF
Horace Greeley, has ceased to bo
champion of prohibitory politics,
has the candor to give the facts in
regard to Rhode Island and it's testi-
mony fully sustains tho statements
made by Mr.. Metcalf. 1t says: "The
reasons for this great prohibition re-
pulse are many, outside of the merits
OF the question, The repealers were
abundantly supplied with money.
This money was raised by the Liquor
Dealers Protective Trade Associa-
ton. Tho repealers were also well
organized. They had the use of the
ward workers OF both the Democratic
and Republican parties. Voters were
carted to the polls, and tho polling
placos were manned by numerous
energetic ticket peddlers On the
other side there was n lack Of funds
and greater lack of organization.
The polls were poorly managed, and
everybody acted as il engaged in a
losing fight" Now, does anybody
think the matter ''settled?" In fact,
this Bull Run is but the beginning of
the real war.--Christian Leader.

tells of some very supplementary proceedings on

order to be convincing in argument one must be
open to conviction. Herein lies weak point in
the conservative element of the community.

WILD FLOWERS.

Along the pleasant country road,
Beneath a eloudless sky
We strolled, that golden summer time,
My pet andI;
The deep, deep eyes were drinking in
The beauty, where 1t spread,
And busy thoughts were buster still
Within her head
She'd never known the country thus,
Dressed in its colors rare,
When nature strews her wild flowers, bright
Beyond compare.
The houses, as we passed, revealed
Their lawns and f1owery BEDS
But here, unkept, the wild flowers shook
Their saucy heads

Her treasure;

HISTORY makes no record of so terrible dis
aster or more heart-rending scenes in this country
than those depicted by witnesses of the ruin and
desoaton in the flooded districts of Pennsylvania.
The exact number of lives lost will probably never
be known whole towns and their inhabitants were
swept away. A Waterman on guard at mill
when the waters came, ran to the hillside and sue
ceeded in escaping he declares that the first
wave was as high as three-story house: Gener-
Gus people from all parts of the country came to
the aid of the sufferers with donations, and an
army Of physicians, ministers, priests and nuns
devoted themselves to the care of the sick and in

occurring at Cambria City, in the church Of the In
macuate Conception Devotions were in progress
Friday night when the water descended on Cambria
City. The church was filled with people at the
time, but when the noise of the flood was heard
the congregation FASTENED to get out of the way.
They succeeded in escaping from the interior, and
in few moments the church was partly submerged,
the water reaching fifteen feet up the sides and
swirling round the corners furiously. The build
ing was badly wrecked, the benches were torn out,
and in general the entire structure, both inside and
out, was dismantled In the morning when an en-
trance was forced through the blocked doorway,
the ruin appeared to be complete. One object
alone had escaped the waters wrath. The statue

The Arkansas Christian asserts with more yigor
than Chrst-like gentleness, that the world was not
made for old maids; like the less lovable side of
humanity at large, that journal seems to take
special and savage delightin "twittlng on facts.
The poor old maid is not responsible either for her
creation or condition She has been landed upon
the universe by force of circumstances over
which she has no control. The laws of demand
and supply have somehow got criscross, or per-
haps the supply freights have been sidetracked
somewhere on the road, while the demand express
has whistled in on time and stands waiting. There
seems but one course for the Arkansas Christian
to pursue, to seek the missing freights and bring
them in or take back seat unless, indeed that
journal is prepared to perform miracle like unto
that of the loaves and fishes. Meanwhile the old
maids wait.
THE world has never been generous TO the old
maid, and her province, though obviously expand
ing is still circumscribed and not yet particularly
inviting or desirable but misery loves company,
if we may judge from the following geograph-
ical description of Bachelors Island, the world has
been scarcely more generous to the old bachelor
than to the old maid A good looking Virginia
girl thus bounds his provice:
Bachelors situated burning folly,
where the savage inhabitants of the forest seldom
tread 1t bounded the East by the regions of
aectaton vanity and dece-on the North by the territories
cowardiceon the South by the burning of
remose disease and deatand by the dead Lake
of Oblivion.

some regard it in no way short of miracle.
"Among the twelve months of the year.
That come and go,
Mid storm and glow,
June the sweetest, drawing
When roses blow.
Coming the cool green hills,
So warm so bright
Her step strikes light
From barren rocks and makes gay rlls
Laugh into sight,
Again the season of the fair girl graduate again
the season when The colleges of the land pour forth
their finished multitude to the great unfinished
world.
What misanthropes would the human family be-
come, were it not for youth withits hopes and joys
and beliefs, which they are constantly thrusting
into the attention of the experienced.
The world itself would grow weary with being,
were it not for the impetus of youth; the college
hedgeling and the Fourth of July orator are as
essential with their fund of enthusiasm as is the
scoffer who maintains there is naught in it all.
One balances the other.
Now the fair girl graduate is one of the sweetest
buds of the year. The beauty-loving world be-
eves in her, adores her, anticipates her, in short
takes a genuine interest in her.
"a lovely being scarcely formed or moulded,
A bud with all its choicest leaves yet folded"
She is madonna like in her robes of purity-and
the world applauds as she steps tmidly out where
she has never vet dared tread-into life and lib
erty.
The world wastes very little enthusiasm over the
decorously attired beardless or bearded graduate
in broadcloth, who is launched under likewise IA
vorable circumstances. His Grafton is not to be
compared with her essay, in which she tenderly,
witchingy earnestly, with trembling accents, takes
the audience into her confidence and settles for
them the vital questions of the day.
Beautiful youth-June of the year-who can
resist it, who would resist it if he could?
The typical girl graduate is vision of lowell
ness that is served up as feast to our beauty
loving eyes once year. Her star is at best in
the ascendent-wth many it has reached its zenith
and soon after sinks below the horizon.
But the coming girl gradute, who will serve as a
forerunner to the coming woman, will prove star,
very planet, the zenith of whose beauty will ex-
tend over many years in the far future; her early
brilliancy will foreellthe intelligence of the coming
woman and the human family will rejoice indeed
at the possibilities that are already revealed in her,
and her capabiity Of making the world better for
her being in it,

1ataTrh to CONSUMPTION.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. II is
therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make it the object of
their lives TO rid themselves of it. Deceptive
remedies, concocted by ignorant pretenders TO
medical knowledge, have weakened the conf
dence of the great majority of sufferers in all
advertised remedies. They become resigned to
a life of misery rather than torture themselves
with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met
at every stage and combated with all our might.
In many cases the disease has assumed danger
GUS symptoms The bones and cartilage of The
nose, the organs of hearing, of seeing and of
tasting so affected as to be useless, the uyula so
elongated, the throat SO inflamed and irritated
as to produce constant and distressing cough.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. 1t is local
and constitutional. Instant in relieving per-
manent in curing, safe, economical and never
