of merry visitors, the quaint windows had
! quivered and blazed with thrilling light
/ and warmth, and the broad Fireplace had
seen more than one Yule log, more than
| one bright romance, sparkle and glow to
| the sound of happy voices and the beat
ing of happy hearts
! That was a dim-remembered story in the
! old-tlme, entomed now, however. For
three years The Cedars had seen Christmas
J pass by with no welcome from the weird.
sealed portals of the grand old manse.
! Down the road leading from the village
| Just as the dusk began to fall, two figures
| appeared on the landscape.
| The first was that of girl singularly
| graceful, slngularly beautiful, but in pose.
| man, and countenance there was subdued

She paused as she reached the path,
! that led to The Cedars. and half leaned on
the faded umbrella she carried, and cast a
dreamy. longing glance at the old mansion,
| beyond it, all across the dreary expanse
that envlrone it.
Her lips quivered, her eyes grew fearful.
a vivid emotion pulsated the fair cheeks.
! She sighed as might one standing amid
the wraiths of SUMMER days Then, bend
ing her head, with the point of the UNI
brella she traced in the white, pure snow
at the side of The path name
| Then, as il q shock of memory presented
| the snowy wall as block of marble the
name written as that of one dead, her
poor heart sobbing, she FASTENED toward
| the manse and disappeared within its por-
! tails
At that moment the second figure on the
bleak landscape, that of man, fastened
his steps directly in the course the girl had
gone.
He, too, was laboring under some deep
J emotion, but 1t was sinister, passionate,
evil-minded Avarice and craft lined his
sallow face, eagerness and scheming lay in
his shifting glance As he reached the
spot where the girl had paused, he, too,
halted.
He glanced down and his face grew
Iivid. His eyes danced like basilisk rage,
his features contracted, his hands clenched.
for he read the simple name traced
in the pure white snow plainly:

DANCING OPPOSED IN GERMANY.
Emperor William Issues Imperial DeCcee
Against the Giddy Whirl.

Against the Giddy Whirl.
BFRLIN.-No move by the German
monarchy in politics could interest German
society more, either here in Berlin or among
scattered Germans the world over than the
edlct to put down dancing among the
youthful subjects of the ruler, who is him
self a few years past boyhood, with the
view of raising the standard of morality
of both sexes and of stimulating the fervOr
of their religious belief" Up to this time
there has been in the fatherland little. if
any, interference with popular pleasures
and pastimes. As long as the people faith
fully fulfilled their duty to the state they
were permitted to amuse themselves as
they saw fit. Thcdters, concert-rooms,
museums, and picture galleries are open
Sunday. There are retreshment-r rooms
which are not obliged to close at certain
hour whether those who are at supper have
swallowed their last mouthful or not. In
the face of such liberties of the subject, it
has astounded the people to be suddenly
circumscribed in what they regard as harm
less and healthful amusements. Dancing
is perfect passion with the Germans. and
perhaps for that reason the government
has resolved to subdue, if not to eXtinguish,
it in the young. The new relations which
are to be strictly observed by those COM
munes in which on the emperor birthday
and all national holidays public dances are
arranged for the special amusement of
children are as follows: Dancing is not to
begin until after noon, is not to be kept up
after s in the evening, and no one but
school children are to be allowed to join in
the giddy round or the solemn square.

800 REWARD, 500.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is Ca
tarrh. Balls Catarrh Cure is the only posi-
tive cure now known to the medical frater-
nifty. Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting di-
Tectly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the patient
strength, by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.
