Growing Old Gracefully.

"Wha. lovely old lady" I heard a
man remsrk, at the opera, lately. She's
quite as beautiful as any girl in the house.
Such color and complexion is rarely
seen in a woman past forty.
Indeed, the woman Of whom he spoke
was lovely. Her face was clear aud
smooth, her cheeks, fresh and rosy, her
eyes bright with perfect health and the
enjoyment Of life. She hal passed the
critical change of life" without fall
ing into "the sere and yellow leaf" as
most American women do. How had
she succeeded in doing this? Simply
by using DIR. Pierce's FAvorite Prescrip-
ton at a time when nature stood in
need ofsone assistance. She had tax
en- it at the right time. IN doing this
she was wise. Wiser than most women
who 'trust 10 luck" in getting through
the critical and trying period safely.
This standard remedy IS just what IS
needed at such time. II is, from girl
be cd to old age, wonan's best friend.
In ali diseases peculiar TO the sex, It
accomplishes what no other remedy
does-a cure. Take it woman, when
life's autumn begins, and grow old
gracefully" Your money back if it
doesn't help you.

Not the Best.

The adage concerning the folly Of
disputing about questions Of personal
taste is well supported by an sneedOie
related by Colonel T. A. Dodge. He
says:
"Mauy years ago, in Richmond, while
was standing with a friend in his door
way, while he gave some instructions to
an old colored servant, there happened
to pass one Of the beauties Of the city.
We both took off our hats, courtesy in
our attitudes, admiration in our hearts
"'Isn't she beauty !? said !.
"'Isn't she beauty he echoed.
Just isn't she, Uncle Ned p he added,
turning 10 the old servant.
Miss EIIen's a mighty fine laddy,
responded Uncle Ned in q deferential,
but somewhat hesitating tone.
"'Why, what do you mean, Uncle
Ned p insisted my friend, rather nettled
and curious withal at the old daIky's
manner.
"'Well, Mars Tom, said the ole man,

tink de white Iaddies is so handsome as

Itreally seemed that the new doctor
was going TO cure Mrs Hesrne in spite Of
the grave representations of the aged
family physician, for during the days
that followed his coming she rallied aud
was brighter aud stronger than she had
been for months before. She was more
polite TO her husband, and answered
with unwonted gentleness his careful dai-
ly inquiry concerning her health, instead
of the surliness with which she had here
tofore met these attentions. She was
even aifectionate with Courtney, though
she had never been rude to her, only
silent and hard TO please when the young
girl sat with her.
The new doctor came twice and thrice
a day. Olce he had found Courtney in
the sick room, AMI had paused TO gaze
upon her with admiration in his bold
black eyes, but he had caught Mrs
Hearne's menacing glance, and had new

chanced to b. in the room when he came
which was not often, as Mrs Hearne gen.
orally preferred to receive her physician
alone. Courtney found that he had con-
triyed to seek her out on this pretence or
that in other parts of the house, and took
to coming at an hour when she walked
in the garden, through which he never
neglected to pass as he went away. Mr..
Hearne saw this, too, and frowned black
ly upon the stranger, but he dared not
obie.t to his visits, for then he would
have to reckon with his wife.
He spoke TO Courtney about it, and as
the girl turned her innocent eyes up to
him with puzzled look in their clear
child-like depths, he confessed that he

if you say you saw me prepare the
draught for you. It was DR.. Homer who
gave it to you"
Mrs. Hesrne turned a puzzled look
upon her husband and his brother, who
listened in silent horror to thisquiek ex-
change Of charges.
"Dr Homer He left me half an hour
ago. You must have passed him in the
hall. Or you, Arthur, did you not see
him go?' The young man bowed re-
luetantly and Mrs. Hearne went on
Look in the room and see if he is there.
Heard any of you voices when this wretch
went for my medicine? And TO prove
her liar doubly, see here have the
key of the other door to the room here
under my pillow. Susan viii tell you l
bad her to lock it before she left me-"
Arthur walked deliberately into the
snte-chamber and tried the door, and, as
it indeed proved to be locked, his face
whitened still more. Courtney had stood
frozen for the last few moments, never
even looking at her tormentor. Then,
with a sudden giving away to tears. she
cried, turning TO Claud with outstretch-
ed hands and pitiful face, from which
the pretty pink color had all flown:
Claude, Claude, dearest, say you do
not believe this awful plot to ruin me.
Oh, Claud, you said you loved me, and
surely, surely, dear, you cannot think
me guilty"
She ran to him and would have put
her head down on his breast, but he
thrust her away roughly. "Murderess p
he said, through his clinched teeth, and,
with one long cry Of agony, the girl flung
up her arms and fell at his feet. Arthur
came forward and drew her helpless
form up into his embrace, the white face
falling forward on his shoulder.
'Stand aside, all Of you," he said stern
ly; II am going TO take her to the minis
ters wife in the village, where you can
find her when she has to answer to this
charge" When he had done this he
took from its case a silver-mOunted revol-
yer, and looked well to its loading, and
and with this he walked down to D.
Homer's Office. The doctor was still up,
and answered the visitors knock in per-
son, and smiled as he greeted Arthur
Hearne.
He needed friends, did the doctor, and !
it beloved him to be pleasant, but his
smile died away as Arthur closed the |
door and, locking it, put the key in his
pocket; then, drawing his revolver, seat
