within:
"Uncle, when will you give us your
blessing?"
Give you my blessing? What do you

your old uncle happy by settling down

Jed was not surprised at this, a.
| though he had always been somewhat
| at loss to understand why his uncle
| was SO anxious that he should marry,
| when he himself was a bachelor.
| Perhaps the hope of keeping his
| nephew with him influenced the old
gentleman in this desire, for he loved
the ungrateful Jed as, he assured him
self. he might have loved his own son.
"Who is the fortunate young lady?''
he bethought himself to ask. after the
first flush of his happiness was over.
Jed grew red and white by turns,

Brown waved him away.

at last he found words to utter his in

emotions again overcame him and he
retired to the library to recover him
self, dropping his newspaper under the
table and his spectacles in the hall.

Jed and indeed it was, for that even

for evermore.

her Of wanting his uncle's money, but

And dream, and never doubt
But spring shall come again, and set
The blossoms in the vine;

Keep me and mine apart;
For when upon this page she smiles,
And gladdens in her heart,

And cheers these eyes OF mine.

The flowers shall come, and, with them, low

THERE is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-

supposed to be incurable For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly falling to cure with local treatm ment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-

ABOUT L1lS,
for where is the young man who has
not at some time or other, yielded to
the wiles Of the chubby little god who
is supposed to deal in certain cruel I'M
pements of warfare, working the GER
tain defeat, in time, of each and every
one of us?
With the above exception, Jed Brown
was a most fortunate young man, for
had he not palatial home and a rich,
kind, though somewhat testy old uncle,
who proposed to leave Jed all his earth
ly possessions and who, meantime, be-
slowed all manner of kindnesses on the
young gentleman in question?
The exception above named, how
Eer was source of much discom-
ffure to our hero. He was in love
with Miss Helen Davis, and, to the peo-
pie Of bennington, the town in which
the Browns and the Davises had lived
from Jed's earliest remembrance, this
explained ALL For old Hiram Brown
had held grudge against the Davises
for many years. He openly insulted
them by not recognizing them on the
street
Strange to say, the Davis family did
not altogether return this feeling Of
hostility. They regarded Mr. Brown
as a fussy old gentleman who was
easily angered, and the older members
of the family took little notice Of their
neighbor's ways.
The youngest scion, however, Tommy
by name, took upon his young shoul-

I have had for over three years. At certain times,
cracking and peeling off in white scales. In cold
weather my face was one mass of scales. When
in the cold air the pain was intense; It would
almost bring tears to my eyes, and my blood also
have tried every known remedy that was~fecom-
mended to me-. but It was Of no use, and gave me
very little benefit. 80, hearing of your Cur1ouRA
REMEDIES, I concluded to give them q trial. The
first application gave almost instant relief. In
few weeks time l found myself cured, and i am
thankful Tor what they have done for me. Your
CuTIcURA REMEDIEs are q blessing to those who
may have the opportunity to use them. I can.
recommend them to any one:

defense was that he only borrowed the
