And now in this time of urgency the ap-
peal was to Maisrie herself; she it was who
must determine what definite bond should
be between them as a safeguard for the fu-
ture. Virtually he had her grandfather's
permission to speak to her; and how could
he doubt what her answer would be, in spite
of all those strange and inexplicable lore
bodings that seemed to haunt her mind?
She had made mute confession; and now
there remained nothing for him but to claim
and bear off the fair lily prize.
But when he got up next morning he
found 10 mis- dismay that sudden change
in the weather was like to interfere in
yery practical manner with his audacious
plans. During the night the wind had
backed to the southwest, accompanied by
sharp fall of the barometer; and now stiff
gale was blowing, and already heavy sea
was thunderiag in on the beach. There
was as vet no rain, it is true; but along the
southern horizon the lowering heavens were
even darker than the wind-driyen waters;
and all occasional shiver of white sunlight
that swept across the waves spoke clearly
enough of coming wet. Was 1t not alto
gether too wild and stormy morning to
hone that Maisrie would venture forth ?
And vet he was going away that day-with
great uncertainty as to the time OF his re-
turn; and how could he go without having

white-crested waves, laundering down On
the shelving shingle, filed all the thick air
with spray; while light balls OF foam went
sailing away inland, tossed hither and
thither up into the purple-darkened sky.
So far the driving squalls had brought no
rain; but the atmosphere was surcharged
with a salt moisture; more than once Vim
cent stopped for second and took his
handkerchief to dry Maisrie's lashes and
eyebrows, and to push back from her fore
head the fine wet threads of her brown hair.
But soon they had got away from this roar
OF water and grinding pebbles, and were out
on the pier, that was swaying sinuously be-
fore these fierce gusts, and that trembled to
its foundations under each successive shock
OF the heavy surge. And now they could
get better view of the wide and hurry

melting into a vivid green some way fur

CLEAN all the more suddenly and sharply

Pharmaceutical Era.l
DepilatOries areTery dangerous remedies
unless kept in the hands of very careful
persons. They are liable to not only take
off the offending hair, but also the skin as
well and leave ugly sores to heal and form
scars. The Turkish women are said to be
very proficient in the use of depilatories, as
they have no hair on their bodies, with the
exception of the head. Nearly all forms of
depilatories depend upon some form Of
sulphides OF the alkaline earths.
Probably the safest among the effective
ones is made from the ordinary quick lime.
1t should be Stacked with two parts of water
and then saturated with freshly made
sulphuretted hydrogen. This mixture must
be used within few days after it is made.
Care must always be taken to see that the
paste does not cover more surface than it is
necessary to free from hair. 1t is also
wise precaution to spread but small space
at time and when this is deprived of hair
treat fresh portion of the surface.

IT GROWS ON YOU.

The golden-rod is one OF those flowers that
improve on acquaintance. When first met
with you are not likely to be much taken
with it. Its bloom seems to be too yellow;
its general appearance that of weed, but,
as time goes on, you observe how well its
rich glow mellows into the golden mists and
purple shadows of the autumn and you
wonder how the landscape could do without
it.
Just at this time it is turning into the soft
est of reds, tipped with silver, and if gath
cred will make the most charming of
bouquets, lasting through Ibis month and
next. You will find other wild flowers at
the same time, but not in such variety as
earlier in the season. Enough. however. to
make up some very pretty combinations.
Out along that little brook, which some one
in days gone by has given tue unprepossess-
ing name of "Sawmill run" and on the
banks of the many other small streams in
this vicinity, you will be met at every turn

Judge Bryant has rendered a very i'm

against Thomas McGhee, charged with
murder. McGhee was white man, but
had married an Indian and was recognized
by the Indians as a citizen, and allowed
their tribal rights the same as an Indian.
Judge Bryant held that, under the
treaties of the United States Government
with the Indians, McGhee was in law an
Indian and subject to the laws of his tribe,
and that the courts of this country had no
Jurisdiction over ofenses committed by him
upon the person or property of another

Gates that all the birds have not vet departed.
- Not TOR long, however.
AT last there will come day when the

gloom, except at one place where a long
golden bar OF light lies along the horizon.
It is then we will hear the veeries and

But we will not be left entirely alone.
The very first day that we listen in vain for
the merry tunes of the singers named, lo!
there comes the little snow bird with all his
noisy twitterings to join his almost sole
companion, the chicadee, in holding a
chilly sort of vigil over the departed year.
Some few other birds will remain with u.s.

OCTOBER WILD FLOWERS.
Now, who would think that this would be
good time to go after wild flowers in the
neighboring woods? And yet it is. While
the carpet OF dead and witnered leaves
grows thicker under foot every day, there
are certain of our native blooms that have
just now reached the fruition of their
growth.
In nearly every corner of the crooked old
fences that abound in the suburbs, one can
see clump upon clump or golden-rod. Its
rich tints are fading now, but it still has a
claim to that beauty which has made it the
pre-eminent candidate in the race for the
honor of being this country national flower
that is, if we are ever to have one. There
is not the slightest doubt it has advanced
the best argument so far, not alone from the
fact that it is pure native Of the land but

an affecting monument as viewed by rev

But all the numerous hills in tsburg
are not as ragged as this. 1t is an exception
to find them thus. Their mountainous char
acter give them all that rugged appearance,
but like well attended terraces, scores of
paved streets and avenues scale their slopes.
Homes are frequently preferred on the sum-
mits, and with many people the higher the
altitude the happier they are. For this rea-
son 1 once heard this city dubbed ga city of
hili-climbers.

see a row of frame dwellings where the
fences have nearly all tumbled down. The
steep slope was too much for them. There
is a constant slipping of earth that carries
everything before it unless solidly braced

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE D1sPATCH.l
RoMFoRD, ESSEX, October 17.-Jefferson
Davis during the last years of his life once
said: ''The material welfare of a country is
always found in good peasantry." II that
be true England must be a very wealthy do
main, for nowhere during travelling ex-
perience of many years and of many miles
in many countries have ever seen so con-
tented and Independent class of laborers,
as the men who till, and the men and women
who tend and reap the crops of the United
Kingdom.
The ordinary farm laborer in the United
States knows no such degree of comfort and
pleasure as his brother who works upon
English soil. Only in the most favored
localities of our own country is the farm
laborer so well housed and looked after as in
this, which 1 had always been taught
ground its workmen to the bone, that the.
few might have and the many might wait or
suffer. This may be true of some industries
here, but it certainly does not apply to the
agricultural laborer.
AN INTERESTING STUDY.
Taking three widely separated and typ
ical sections of Southern, Northern and
Middle England, 1 have investigated the
subject by actual contact with the people
and by mingling in their everyday life. II
has been delightful study, for there is no
more interesting character of his class in
existence than the English peasant as you
find him at home, stolid as he may be. He
generally has pleasant surroundings. His
wifels neat tidy and industrious, while his
children are cleanlv, pretty and above all,
healthy.

no matter how poor he may be. His wife is

THERE'S VARIETY, TOO.
You can, if you will, give variety to your
bouquet by adding some yarrow. This little
plant, with its dull white blossoms, will be
recognized by its resemblance to chrysanthe-
NUNS in miniature. Some soapwort gentian,
with its deep blue flowers, will also be a
valuable addition. You are not so likely to
find this plant, however, as it is not nearly
so common as any of the others mentioned.
Even the well-known dandelion should not
be despised now. You will be surprised to
notice how rich is the yellow of its flowers
now by reason of the absence of more
striking ones.
There is another plant. a dainty little
orchid, that is just about to bloom now, and
