SEXIST E. BAOO.
This is tba hallowed place!
A hero's dust lies 'neatb tbit grassy mound I
“Under the shade” of theee wide arching

His armor “rests” secure from war’s alarms.
Hit soldier soul bath pasted “the river” o’er!
Upon its earthly shore still stand and mourn
The yet unvanquisbed army of bit Mends.
In blue et well as gray these legione are—
One “burning bush’’ within the solemn

Kindled to vestal flame by Autumn’s band,
Reveals a small “stone wall” of spotless
white,
Unsullied, pure as was hit ebaraoter.
Down the long village street
Bleeps Lee the valiant and bis truest friend.
Perhaps (I love to think) their spirits blest
Now and again to tbit fair scene return,
Hold sweet communion in this sacred grovs,
This green-arched, peaceful “hall of Chan-
cellors,”
And bless the day that saw the dawn of
Peace—
The new-born brotherhood of blue and
gray,—
The glad hand clasping of tbe reconciled.
But deftly cbitled, stately marbled tomb
It not more elequent than tbe plain stone
With naught thereon but “Stonewall” Jack-

Telling of deadly combat nobly waged;
Of Held of battle honorably lost;
Of words of truth; of martyrdom at last,
In tbe mistaken cause be served to well;
Of knightly deeds, immeasurably great;
Of stainless life, unutterly grand I

Keeps a ftill stock of drugs, medicines,
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
“You will not like thia nephew
of mine,” Agues said. “But yon
most tolerate him for my sake
while he stays.”’
“And why, pray, do you make
an assertion like tbatf’’ queried
Mrs. Belford, toying with the rings
on Agnes’ band. “Is be se very
disagreeable f”
“Oh, no indeed,’’ Agnes hasten
ed to reply. “He can be very
agreeable, and as I have told you,
be is quite my ideal. Yet he has
a cold undemonstrative nature,
and as you are so warm and full
of sweet emotion, I atn sure he
will impress you unpleasantly. He
often makes people think he dis-
likes them, because of his reserve.
1 am Borry he is so shy. It would
be pleasanter for you, otherwise.”
“If he were one who would but-
ton my gloves, you mean,” she
said, “and bold my fan, aod turn a
delicate compliment. Ob, dear,
ne; I do not want that sort of
thing, Agnes. I came to you to
rest, body, heart and brain—and I
am quite willing to get away from
all the frivolous frolics of the
fashionable world. How oid*is
bet’’
“Albertis twenty-five. Bather
peculiar, too, right in hie ideas of
propriety; very severe in his judg-
ment.”
“Has he ever been in love T”
“Not that I know of. I really
wish he would lose hie heart; it
might do him good. But be finds
young ladies either too bold, too
frivolous, or too silly. He has
seme high aud impossible ideal
of female divinity in his mind,
some perfect paragon of virtue,
propriety and modesty, for whom
be is waiting.”
“Poor thing,” sighsd Agnes as
her friend went to her room to
dress. She is just starving for
affection.”
Mrs. Belford was thirty, looked
twenty, and was endowed with
those magnetic charms and intan-
gible graces which ara so much
more powerful than mere beauty,
at least when coupled with tact
aud taste.
Wedded to a practical matter-of-
fact man, who gave her no senti-
ment, but plenty of money, she
supplied the restless cravings of a
hungry beurt and romantic mind
as best she eould. She had met
Agnes in Florida, the previons
Winter; the two had become
friends; aud now she was paying
a visit to Agnes, at the latter’s
country residence.
“I am sure not to like her, Annt
Agnee,” Albert said, frankly, a
few hourg later, hearing her des-
cription of Mrs. Belford. “A wo-
man who roams around the world
without her husband, and goes to
balls and theaters without him, is
uot my ideal. Of one who permit*
other gentlemen to admire her—
and you tell me she is much ad-
mired by gentlemen.”
Twenty foor hours later Albert
was not hostile to Mrs. Belford.
She bad fathomed him at once,
and, playing the part ofinnoceuce
and modesty, had subjugated him
at a single interview.
“She’s not a bit forward, but
very modest and gentle,” he aaid
to bia aunt, “and she bus a pathet
io look in her eyes which makes
me feel sorry for her.”
“Sorry for her 1” Alas, poor
Albert i Sympathy is the first step
toward the abyss of folly, with
many men, at least.
Day by d«y, this practiced co-
quette wove her web more and
more closely about Albert.
“I am sad thia morning/* she
aaid, • fortnight after that first
meeting, “becaose my life is so in-
filled—so void. I married, when

to take in her own was cold.
“I want you to forget whatever
seemed too frank in my manner,”
she said in a half-broken voice. “I
do not want you to despise me—”
“Despise you f Great heaven 1.
I worship you,” he cried, wildly
I could die for you.”
“Hash I” she said, softly “Do
not die for me, but live. Live
wholly worthy of this beautiful
and eaored experience, which has
come to glorify all life f«r me, and,
I trust, for you also. Take this,”
she slipped a circle of gold upon
his Auger, “and never remove it
until my image is displaced in yonr
heart.”
“It will never be removed, in
life or death,” be said, solemnly.
“I hope not. I believe not,” she
responded. “Yet, if yon ever
cease to worship aud revere my
memory, take off tbe ring. If
you ever grow to love another
woman better than yon lore me—
do not, dear, let the ring remain.
But, but so long as 1 am a power
and an influence in your life, wear
it, aud kiss it every night ere yon
go to sleep. We may never meet
again. But it is an unworthy lave
which cannot be true through
separation and silence. Good-
bye, aud heaven bless yon.”
Iu the morning, she was really
gone. She bad grown tired of tbe
flirtation, and oboss this dramatic
way to end it. Her poor dnpe
missed her every hour. Yethe was
in that exalted state of brain aud
heart where no aetual physical
presence was needed to make him
happy. A whole new world, a
heaven, had opened to him, dar-
ing the last few weeks.
He bad viewed women from a
distance always, and knew them
only as be read of them in books.
Now, suddenly, a fascinating,
lovely, and accomplished woman
had crept in his heart, opening? all
its windows aod doors to a flood
of light. A sudden ambition
seized him to become distinguish-
ed for her sake. Life opened be-
fore bim with new possibilities.
He wanted her to feel a pride in
him ; to give him respect and ad-
miration as well as love.
A year went by, and then there
came to bim an intolerable and
unconquerable desire to look upon
her face once more. They had
never exchanged one word or line,
in all this time ; but Albert had
kept himself informed of her wel-
fare, through his aunt. Agnee
was with her now, at tbe seashore.
It was quite the proper thing, he
said te himself, for tbe nephew to
join his relative there, for a week
or two.
Mrs. Belford was out walking
when he arrived. He had sent no
word to bis aunt of bis anticipat-
ed visit. But be asked her, Ag-
nes, eagerly about her friend. “Is
she well 1 Does she seem happy!”
he said.
“Yes, she is well,” bis aunt re-
plied. “And she ought to be
happy. She wins alt who come
in her way, and lam as infatuated
as the rest,” she added, laugh-
ingly. ;
After a time, Albert strolled
into the billiard-room, to kill time
until Mrs. Belford should return.
A bevy of men were chatting to-
gether, at the opposite end of tbe
room. They were discussing the
billiard-strokes of a man who had
just left.
“But he is no better than
Charlie St. Clair was,” said one,
“before he deserted billiards for
beauty.”
A laugh followed this sally, and
then another added :
“Charlie is perfectly infatuated
with Mrs. Belford. I hope he will
not make such a fool of himself as
young Holly did, last Winter.
Holly was betrothed to a lovely
girl; bnt he neglected her shame-
fully, after Mrs. Belford wove her
toils about him. He really fan-
cied, for awhile, she would obtuin
a divorce from her husband, and
marry him.”
“How does Belford like all
thist” queried the first speaker,
“Oh, Ive doesn’t seem to take it
much ta heart. She married him
for bia money, In the first place,
and he really loved her, in hie
way. I think he was of a domes-
tic nature, and would have liked
a quiet home-life with her. But
her nature craved exoitement and
admiration ; she eDjoya dramatic
situations, and mast have them.
And so he lets her go her way,
and he goes his. She amuses
herself with eaefi new candidate
for her fevor, end, when he be-
oomes troublesome, she eoolly
disposes of bim.”

Snddeoly voices eonnded near
Albert, sppsreotly beneath him;
a man’s voioe first, then hers. He
looked over the edge of the cliff.
Mre. Belford was sitting on some
rooks, Just below, oo tbe beach.
Farther oat,a solitary pedestrian
was risible, ou an almost Isolated
scene never left bis memory to
bis dying day. He could also sse
Mrs. Belford’s companion--a
baudsome blonde-bearded man,
who looked down at her adoring-
ly. She was speaking ;
“I married, when a mere child,
a man with no tastee in common
with myself. My life is sad,” abe
was saying* “and void. He gives
me a boose bnt not a home. He
gives me jewels, bnt denies me
the affection I crave. I try, as
best I may, to maka life eodn-
rable. And now I want to live
worthy—”
Albert oonld bear no more.. It
was jnet wbst tbe false syren bad
said to him. She said it to all.
He rose aod rushed past them,
and strode hurriedly oat of sight.
An boor later, when Mrs. Bel-
ford returned to the hotel, she
found its inmates in a atato of
great excitement.
“A young mao, a stranger who
bad artived a few hours before,
bad just tried to commit suicide
by shooting himself,” they were
saying, “bnt had only succeeded
in making a very ngly wound in
his side. The ball had bten ex-
tracted, and he was not in danger
of death. No one was quite sure
of hie name.”
“Why, what is the matter t Are
you ill V* she cried.
Agues looked at her with sad
heavy eyes.
“Don't yon know!” she an
swered. “Albert is here. He has
tried to kill himself. 1 find this
upon his table, addressed to you.”
Mrs. Belford, now trembling in
every limb, opened the parcel.
It contained only tbe ring. The
ring eo dear to Albert—that had
been treasured likes eaored talis-
man for a whole year—tbs ring
wbiob Mrs. Belford had aotually
forgotten she bad given to him,
until now it was returned ro her
under enoh tragic circumstances.
Mrs. Belford’s love of the dram-
atic was gratified to its fullest
extent, for once, at least.
Tbe story leaked out, however,
aud Mrs. Belford had to leave the
seashore, her reputation for a
heartless coquette fixed forever.
As for Albert, though be ie re
stored to physioal health, bis
heart ia sacred and bis soul em-
bittered forever.”
He langbs at love. He soeers
at loyalty. He feels no faith in
women, yonug or old, wedded or
single.
Possibly the future holds for
him, in store, some sweet end
holy experience, which shall re-
store that rained faith; but even
that cannot nntto the wrong in-
flicted upon him by the selfish
vanity, tbe heartlesa cruelty, of
one wicked woman.
A Des Moines woman who has
been troubled with frequent colds
concluded to try an old remedy in
a new way, and accordingly took
a tablespoonfai (four limes the us-
ual dose) of Chamberlain's Gough
Remedy just before going to bed.
The next morning she found that
ber cold had almost entirely dis-
appeared. During tbe day abe
took a few doses of tbe remedy
(one teaspoouful at a time) and at
night again took a tableapoonful
before going to bed, and on the
following morning awoke free
from ail symptoms of the cold.
Since then, she has on several oc-
casions used this remedy in a like
manner, with the same good re-
sults, and is much slated over ber
discovery of so qniok a way of
curing a cold. For sale by Ehlin-

A QUAINT CHARACTER.
EcMDtrto I)«mU of on Old KnylUh Bslfry
Koapor.
A queer old fellow, spoken of In the
“Life end Keminiecenoes”of Sir George
J. Elvey, wee belfry-keeper et St
George's chapel, Windsor, when Sir
George was organist there. The du-
ties of this post included blowing the
organ and digging the graves, and In
both of these occupations Roach was
decidedly unconventional. The organ-
ist congratulated him, one day, on his
appointment, and Itoach took him fa-
miliarly by the arm.
“I’ll tell yon what, young sir," said
he, “whenever yon wants wind, you
shall 'ave it”
The first Sunday of his new duties,
Just as the voluntary was concluded,
he shouted out, loudly enough for
every one to heart
“Done, sir?” At whloh unseemly
oonduct the shocked organist fled from
the loft.
On one occasion he waa digging a
grave for a military knight, and one of
the old knights said to him;
“You are getting very full here,
Roach?”
“I mean to have a whole row of you
along here,” said Roach, calmly.
But the most ecoentrio deed con-
nected with Roach dates from the
death of King William IV. The belfry-
keeper had received a hint that the
king was near his end, and consequent-
ly waited about until he received news
that all was over. Then he repaired to
the deanery in 'haste, and roused the
Inmates by ringing the bell at the
cloister -entrance with all his might
and main. It was useless for the but-
ler to ask him: “What do you want
here at this time of night?”
His business was with the dean, and
no one else. That distinguished per-
son, roused from his slumbers, called
from the top of the stairs:
“What ia the matter. Roach?”
“Billy Is dead. Be I to ring the bell?"
“What Billy?"
“The king, to be snreP’
The dean gave him permission, and
“Billy’s” knell was sounded.
A JAP'S CURIOSITY.
Be Wanted to Iuveetl*ete the American
Woman'i Corsets.
A woman traveling in Japan spent s
night at an isolated little inn In the
mountains. When her party reached
the place the landlord, or master of the
house, for the place hardly seemed an
accredited hotel, showed some reluc-
tance te accommodate the travelers.
Finally he signified his willingness on
one condition. When the condition
was stated, says the New York Times,
It created consternation, being a re-
quest that the lady would allow him
the privilege of assisting at that por-
tion of her morning toilet which had to
do with the putting on of the oo rests.
The man had, it seems, heard at these
strange garments, bnt had never be-
fore encountered a foreign woman, and
felt that the opportunity of his life had
come to appease an Inordinate curios-
ity In tbe matter. After some natural
hesitation, the Amort can woman, con-
sented to pay this very odd price for
the housing of herself snd friends, and
the next morning the Inspection wms
duly permitted. The Japanese host
was most deferential, but also most
minute in the examination, walking
around her several tlmee with many
deprecatory smiles, finally approach-
ing gingerly and touching the bodice
of bone and drilling. He was evident*
ly greatly amazed and decidedly
shocked that a woman could so Incase
hersflf, and, after hla guest had fin-
ished her toilet and appeared In the
dressing-room, his eyes followed her
constantly with an expression of fas-
cinated interest, which was varied
from time to time by a shake of the
head and a solemn look of deprecation,

deed, but, oh, how dreadfull”

EAOH WORE COURT PLASTER.

Girl Cnnto Into His Boom.
The yonng man who thinks he Is go.
lng to oome out ahead In any Joke In
which a girl of ordinary sharpness 1*
involved Is sure to find his mistake. ID
happened some time ago in a certain
eollege, that both the dormitories of
both tha young lady and gentlemen
students opened into the same hall,
says the Indianapolis Sentinel. One
evening near midnight one of tha girls,
who had slipped out of her room to en-
joy a secret chat with one of the other
girls, was hurrying to her room and In
the dark mistook the room, entering
the room of one of the boys by mistake.
He was standing by the gas jet, having
just turned out the light, and whan
she had found the match which ahq
carried in her pocket and started to
light the gas she stumbled against him.
Of course she screamed and started
for the door; but he waa too qniok for
her, and holding her for a moment
actually bit her cheek. In order that he
might Identify the young lady when
next they met Of conrse her wrath1
knew no bounds; and when she finally
reached her room she called an Indigna-
tion meeting of the other girls ana ex-
plained what the horrid fellow had |
snmed to do. She could never face I
again, and was not going to chapel
the morning. But then, of oourae, he
would know who she was, and she ap-
pealed to the girls to help her out of
the difficulty. They did. The next
morning when the girl students filed
past the hoys at devotional exeroiae*
In the ohspel one wicked youth looked
over tha top of his Teatafnent only to
see a procession of twelve girls, each
having a long strip of black oourt plas-
ter on ber left cheek. Ha never dis-
covered whloh girl he bit.

They were sitting together In the
parlor of. a palatial Fifth avenue man-
sion. She was the beantlful daughter
of a man who had made his fortune in
a single week in Wall street, says the
New York Herald.
. The young man who waa watching
her so Intently waa the son of a man
who had been on the other side of the
market during the week which had keen
so sunny for her father. He waa In-
terested In her. “Not because her faoe

of tha money which her

There wae ■ grand piano standing in
tha earner of the parlor.
“Aw, do yon touch the keys with
those tapering fingers?” he asked.
A dreamy, faraway look came into
her deep brown eyes aa aha looked np
at him.
“Not now,” she said, with a sigh of
relief. “Before pa managed to aoonm-
ulate his fortune I was one of the most
expert operators in New York, but now
the very mention of a typewriter
makes ms 111."
Just then the olook In the hall strnel*
the hour of eleven and he went oat ta
get something to steady his aristocratic
nerve. Then he went home and lay
awake all night trying to deolde
whether It was true love or merely
fascination that waa troubling him.
WHERE WILD DUOK8 BREED.
Cutting Away of Canadian genets De-
stroying Them ta Numbers.
The breeding places of the Chesa-
peake ducks are in Canada, where they
are being destroyed in vast numbers by1
the cutting sway of the forests whloh
shelter the lakes end pools where they
harbor, and by the use and sale of
their eggs Thousands of these egg*,
says Llpptncott's, are annually mar-
keted, and by these methods, rather
than by the numbers actually shot,;
they have been greatly diminished.
This condition of things seems to he
beyond remedy, sine* a state oannotl
make a treaty with a foreign poWen
and the general government Is not
likely to Interfere on behalf of what is
practically a Maryland Industry, or to
provide such compensation aa, Canada
might see fit to ask tf a proposal wen
made to her to protect the ducks hi
their native habitat. So the ps-ospeSt
is that fifty years will see the extermi-
nation of the finest wild fowl in tha
world and one of the most prised deli-
cacies of the table. The range of the
wild duck reaches almost from the
Arctic to the Antarctic olrole. It live*
through the summer In the far north,
in Greenland, Iosland, Lapland. Siberia
and, aa we have shown, In Canmda. un-
