Arthur was going to ask old Dollinger
for Amelia. When he reached the house
he touched the electric button. Jeames,
in livery, responded. He was shown
into the library, where Dollinger, cold,
calm, calculating, stood before the FIRE.
''Mr. Dollinger," said Arthur, in a
firm voice, 81 came to ask you for your
daughters hand in marriage"
''SirT Numbered the father, ''sir, how
dare you? You, unknown; you, a beg
gar; you, an artist Leave the house!
Go! or I'll call the policer'
but your daughter has given her con-
sent" pleaded Arthur.
THAT makes not the slightest differ
ence," replied the old gentleman, grow
ing purple in the face. go this instant,
or my men shall throw you out!"
81 take it, them" retained Arthur, as
his thin lip curled bitterly, that you
are opposed to the match?"
'Insolent puppy" roared the old man,
| while the veins stood out on his neck
and forehead; 'begone this instant, or I
will hurl you through the window! But
stay one moment! Come back when you
have one million in cash and possibly
! may consider your suit. Now go."
Don't sit up for me tonight" said
Arthur, as he turned away stunned and
crushed.
eff Arthur goes, go, toow cried a
wild, agonized voice. Amelia rushed in
and hung about Arthur's neck, while he
showered great, warm kisses on her lips
and forehead.
$50, both of you!" fairly beloved the
old man, with face vivid purple and
| veins almost bursting. Never darken
my door again.
Eyes, go, and never show your faces
here again!" cried Mrs. Louise Kill Won
Kull Dollinger-D ollinger, sweeping in.
They turned, with arms twined about
each others necks, and passed into the
hall. Here Arthur by mistake took a
fine black silk umbrella instead of his
own Notwithstanding campaign affair,
and they went out past the gritfins and
down the stone steps, while the great
white snowflakes settled down upon
them with a soft, plying touch.
Five minutes later they mounted the
steps of the Twenty-eighth-s street sta
ton of the Sixth avenue elevated.
Dropping two red theater checks into
the chopper-box, Arthur passed on to the
platform followed closely by Amelia,
while the guileless and near-sighted
gateman pumped the checks.
Love-" whispered Arthur, as he
pressed her little hand in his, ''love, we
will seek Rev. Mr.. Tyemup; he shall
make us one and I'll paint him picture
for his fee"
A train dashed up. 'Harl'm.' shouted
the man who had allowed his machine
to eat the theater checks. Quickly
Amelia stepped on. Guard No. 14,874

Ostriches Race for Figs.

Some time ago gentleman visited a
pen of tame oStriches in Africa. At his
call two beautiful birds came up to him.
Being DESTROYS of testing aheir speed he
arranged with the keeper that they
should run a race. So he caressed the
birds and showed them a handful of figs,
of which they are very fond. The
ostriches were held whilo the visitor
walked to certain distance. At a sig
nal they were set free, and began to run
for the figs. They came bounding along
at terrific rate, taking twelve or four
teen feet at a stride. They ran neck
and neck for more than half the dis
t4rce, their wings working like arms
ano making great sound. Presently
one drew ahead and, looking behind, as
you may have noticed boy in a foot,
race do to see where his rival was, and
finding him beaten, the winner slack
ened his pace and gently trotted up for
the prize of figs.-N. Y. Journal.

A Pin Found in a Heart.

At a recent meeting of the Association
of American Physicians DR.. Peabody
read a remarkable paper on a case where
pin was found in the heart, where it
had evidently lain for an indefinite
period. The point of the pin was dis
tant five millimeters from the external
surface of the heart. The pin seemed
eroded and was broken by the scissors
in dissection, without, however, becom-
ing displaced. There was no evidence
of recent local Inflammation, but tie
endocardium in the neighborkood of the
protruding head of the pin was greatly
thickened and snow white, and firmly
adherent to the edge of the head-St

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-IIay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
euscachan tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. H. Dixon & Son, cor. of John

Bard OF Avon.
There Is one part of the Merry Wives"
which especially seems to favor the be-
lief that the piece was originally court
diversion. The scene with the false
fairies has the sportive character, and
the touch OF ballet, which such courtly
pastime preferred. 1t is curious to COM
pare the false fairies of the merry
Wives" with the true FAIRIES of the Mid
summer-N Nights Dream" that most fairy
piece of writing in the world. Probably
the serious and poetic sprites are the
earlier.
The quarto Of the Dream is dated
1000, but the comedy Is mentioned two
years before in the Palladis Tamia
(159S) So, to Shakespeare's fancy, his
Welsh fairy, and the rest of his mas
querading citizens, may have been an
English rendering, almost an intention

But when once the fairy queen of

poetical, nay, must show his old sympa-

Orphan-heirs of fixed destiny, these

In a recent number of the North Amer
lean Review. Felix l.. Oswald ventures ON
some interesting forecasts Of the future.
which be styles American Auguries
He starts ON the general ground that while
all the world is interested in the marvel
Gus development Of natural and material
substances through the genius of man no
account is taken of the progress of man
himself that while such remarkable
changes havebeen evolved by the contin-
ued interaction of forces everywhere oper-
ating there are some who make am eXcep-
ton of man, or who. if they admit that
his body has originated in the same man
ner as the bodies of other creatures yet
alIege that his mind has not been evolved,
but specially created.
Among the American auguries which
Mr. Oswald presents are some that touch
the future Of politics. He holds that the
propaganda of the temperance reform
ers will achieve its main success in the
Southern states, and thai while active pro-
hibition will become the law of the United
States ii will be found easier to enforce
the law in Georgia than in Maine He
comes TO this conclusion from the idea that
summer heat is an eloquent Temperance
argument. and he declares it to be "a ply
siologica fact that there is less drinking
of ardent spirits in the low ATTITUDES than
in the upper. In the chill upland dis
tricts of the Northern states the demand
for alcohol will survive even the demolition
Of Illicit distiIleries, while in the South
there may be low morals and lazzUonl,
but the topper will be eliminated merely by
the heat
This learned augur confidently believes
that our political principles Of universal
liberty viii live forever. that if population
crowds the area Of free America, it,
boundaries would be extended into the
British dominions. and that within the
twentieth century the Sambo will be but
sporadic phenomenon.
This interesting prophet also says that
artificial irrigation will become a necessity
ere long, and that droughts will be severe
and lasting i'm many parts Of the present
most productive parts OF the Union be-
cause Of the destruction of forests. In the
meantime. the planting OF trees will be-
come a popular rage. too late to avert the
disaster The Hudson river will be too
narrow for its bed except during a spring
frpshet or q January thaE. and the valley
Of the Ohio will be subject to terrible and
sudden overhows such as have occurred on
the Yang-tse-Kimg in China Mormon
ism win ner:.,h through sehism-. spirit lal-
is.i will be the most favorable foe to urtho-
doxy. the European immigration will be
diverted to Africa and South America. and
ocean steamers will travel in pairs. that
they may be- prepared TO render assistance
10 each other Ia ease Of accident
These are all very Interesting augrie-
so general 81 not TO be open 70 dispute.
and probably a- near the true condition, Of
the future as Mr Oswald or any Of us can
get az this time.
