LIZZIES STORY.

BY A. URBAN KYKBETTE.

One evening, as the snn sunk low behind the hills that bounded the pros

pect from my father's house, I saw Ed

win Herriara, the young Methodist

minister, coming np the path between

the tall rows of dahlias and artemisias.

I was inolined to ran away and hide myself, but that display of cowardice would in no way serve me; so I twisted

the ring I wore one that Edwin had given me around upon my finger, and

kept my place among the honey

suckles. And he walked along np the path, and stopped only when he stood

beside ma.

"What is thislheatabontyon, Lizzie

Kendall?" he asked. "How should I know?" said L "They tell me that Jfed Fuller comes to see yon every evening," be said. "They say you bare promised to marry him." "They are fond of telling things,"

said I. "How do they know? and who

are they?"

"I want an answer, J5verr one

kmowa that yon and I knew each other's

mind a year ago," said he.

"I do not think I knew mine," said L

coldly, "if that was so."

"Then yoa mean to jflt me to break

with me?"

He flourished his hands in the air, his

face grew red; he seemed very d-

grooatle tc me at the moment, and I

said, shortly. Since we nave never

been engaged, Mr. Merriam, you can aoaroelr sav it that, I have 'broken

with you,' as you call it"

Toa wear my ring I" said he, ve-

hemeotly.

"Just for fun. I have worn many a

ring jnst because some one asked :

Why, Mr. Men-ram, you know very little of oar ways here in Bristol. A

ring need not be an engagement ring

Because a girl puts it on for a month

or so."

"Yon were willing to think mine so

until Ned Fuller came," said he.

I winced. I knew that was true.

Bat when I thought of following a

Methodist-minister from place to place

here one year, there the next and then remembered all the advantages of

Mrs Fuller; when I saw Edwin waving

his arms about as if he was delivering a lecture, and thought of Ned Fuller's

soft manners and elegant dress, I drove

away all thoughts that made me ready to go to Edwin and say, "Forgive me. "

"You were bound to me in he

and by feeling," he said. "Don't say you never loved me never knew I

loved yon, for that would be false." "Yon are most impertinent, sir!

said X "I shall go in and leave you if yoa are going to talk like that;" and I laid the ring I had already taken from

my finger on the railing of the porch,

and left him alone there.

He had spoken the simple troth and

I had uttered falsehood; for though

actual arrangements for our marriage had not been made, he had a right to think I loved him a right to consider

me as engaged to him. I had thought

over and over agaa what I should say

or do to get him to give me up, and

now wns my chance. I had done it. It

is not so wicked a thing as to marry

without love, I thought.

I remembered again Edwin's stiff

coat, not too new ; his hair worn longer

than the fashion; his grave face and

the flush excitement gave it. Mr. Ful

ler was smooth and elegant, and had

the ways of a fashionable man.

To be sure bis cousins did not condescend to notice me, nor did he introduce them. He looked askance at the

table when my father asked him to "take a bite of dinner," at noonday and

replied that he had "just breakfasted

All the young men in the plaea felt

that he "took on airs," but I only saw nperior elegance, taste, and discrimi-

Bataon, though I was inolined to hate

his oonsins most heartily when passing their fine carriage on the road, and I

knew they tattered at mother's bonnet,

which was old-fashioned.

I spoke to Ned Fuller about this

sometimes, bat he told me that when

was his wife we should return their

sleights with interest.

"I'm a catch, you know," he used to amy. "They all want me. Lots of wo

men will be jealous of yoa, my dear.

It was the speech of a fop and puppy. I did not see that then.

thought him witty, and I felt that, he

was telling the troth in fan.

In place ol my plain gold ring I had

cluster diamond, which Ned begged me to keep for a while, until we told

oor secret to everybody. I kept our

engagement from my parents.

To-day I blush for shame when I think of it, and I promised to be married to him privately, to give him time for him to "bring his mother and aont to the idea." Meanwhile Edwin Merriam had been called to a little church with a fourroomed parsonage beside it, in which X onoe thought I should be happy to make a home for him. He was tea good miles away, bat one evening I

jnst where w& parted on the old

porch.

In the moonlight he looked bo pale

that I almost thought him a ghost ,

"Is it yoa?" I cried. And I had the strongest wish to

throw my arms around his neok.

"It is I," he said. "I do not expect

to be welcomed; but tell me, do yoa think I would lie ?"

"Oh, no," said I "I would believe

any word yoa said to me. "

"That is right," said he. "Believe

me all a brother ought to be to a young

sister. Yoa are doing very wrong, Elizabeth. Yoa are deceiving your parents. I know your plans."

For once I was frank. "I can't tell how you became aware

of it," I said. "And it seems wrong bat circumstances force us to do it "

Edwin shook his head. "Befase to be married privately," he

said. "I insist on your telling your

other, or I will." "Oat of revenge ? That is not consist

ent with your cloth," I said.

"No," said Edwin; "God bless yon

and make yoa happy, but this man has no intention of marrying you. His

wedding-day is fixed. That dark girl with the great black eyes is to be his wife. I swear it to you. You can judge now why he desires yon to leave home with him secretly,"

I listened, trembling with rage and

mortification, and some other feeling

that I could not explain to myself.

"No one would dare use me so," said "And Mrs. Fuller told me that he

pretended to like Miss Gilder to deceive his cousins."

He seemed to see that I was so de

cidedin my choice that I was not to be shaken by what he knew I had termed

idle fancies, and abruptly left me with

out saying more.

I vowed to myself that what he had

said was not true. Alas ! I felt that it

NATIONAL AFFAIRS.

There was a party at CoL Fuller's

that night

I slipped on my waterproof cloak,

pulled the hood over my face, and went across the fields in the moonlight through the silence. Heaven help me I

I found myself amongst the shrubbery

outside the library window.

I saw the girl alone in the yellow

brocade that became her dark beauty

well.

I saw Ned Fuller enter. "Little wife that is to be, how charm

ing you are to-night!"

He sat beside her and took her hand.

I heard all they said.

They spoke of "next year," and of

the future; and she told him she had heard he had a flirtation with Farmer Kendall's daughter.

That girl!" he said, "she looks like

a milkmaid, with her red cheeks and thick waisty and she eats pork and cabbage for dinner. I go there to talk about some mortgages with her father, and she throws herself at my head.

Very bold, these country girls are, and

silly enough for anything, dearest"

I felt the world's motion just then,

as it seemed tome; the lights turned

to great blurs, and I fell down among the bashes.

When I came to myself, I got up and

went home.

I was ill for some days before a fever

set in, of which I thought I shonld die ; and once when I was at the worst I was aware of Edwin Merriam at my bedside. He prayed softly for my recovery, holding my thin, hot hand in his all the while.

When he paused, I spoke : "Ask them all to go away," 1 said. And they left as together.

"I am going to die, Edwin, am I

not?" I said.

"Alas! I fear it is God's will," he

said.

"Then, before I am unable to speak

to yon, listen," said L "I never would

have told you if I had been going to

lire; but I love you, Edwin love yon

from my very soul. The night yon

came to warn me I learned it. Goodbye, Edwin."

He kissed me and we wept together.

Bat you see I did not die; and

though the wife of a Methodist minis

ter has her trials, and most leave

friends as soon as she has found them,

and is seldom rich, I think myself the happiest woman alive since I married

Edwin Merriam.

This tlooreaso has been made up by changes in other denominations, tho volume of So, 810, and $20 notes increasing about 13,0.10,00;). Tho shipments of legal tender and silvor certificates of small denominations, together with the increase in tho circulation of silver coins during the fifteen months ended Sept BJ, amounted to upward or ?l4'.MiOJ,OiiO, while, ill addition, sev; oral million dollars in small gold coins liavo been dtawn into circulation. Under the provisions of tho act of Juno 8, 1672, cortiflcateB of deposit amounting td $34,900,000 wore issued during the fiscal year for United States notes lodged in the Treasury. Tho redemptions in tho same pariod were $43,990,000. There remained outstanding Juno 30 only ?5,020,000, which is tho least amount shown at tie end of uny fiscal year since the issuo bogan. The Treasurer attributes the limited use of these certificates at this time to the change in bank reserves from notes to coin and tho demand for currenov caused by busiuess activity. There wore no gold certificates issued during tho year. Tno redemptions amounted to S9,6S7,4iia Of tho total of l,173,3o4,8Stl iisued from November, 18,yi, there were outstanding at tho close of the yoar Sl'21, 480.W7, of which : 3.',261,380 was In tho treasury and frl,225,437 In circulation. The holding of tho treasury decreased nearly 525,000,000 in tho year. The amount outstandins Oct. 31 was S-132,042,931, of which the treasury held 32,838.158. Tho silver certificates outstanding at the close of the fiscal year amounted to f 145,513,180, an increase of nearly S3u,000,0 in twelve months. The amount in the-treasury fell off in tho sauie period from uoarly 428,000,6.10 to SM25, 133, while the increaso in the aotual circulation was a little more than S54,000,C01 This increaso is due in part to the demand for small notes arising from the discontinuance of tho issno of legal

ing the year s-14,l-r,0,oou m ei ceninoas?a, 5vnu,0U0 in $2, and 7,7O0,O00 in t5. The Treasurer believes that nearly all of tho trade dollars have been redeemed. The coinage of standard silvor dollars for the fiscal yoar was S33,'21,s il, an increaso of 83,377,926 over lt!86. On Oct. 31 the Treasury bold 14,175,532 and there was $02,510,615 in circulation. Between June so, 18K1, and Ot. 31, 1HS7, tho fractional silvor coin in tho Treasury decreased from 2x,904,ii to S24,4i,135, and tho minor coin from 8377,814 to $51,400. Tho 1 and 5 cent piccos on hand are not more than sufficient for payments over the counter. The Treasurer calls attention to tho rapid decrease in tho redemptions of fractional currency, and shows by comparison with othor paper issues that a larae r amount than has been estimated has probablv lieon lost or destroyed. The smouut nitstanding Junol'O, as shown by the books, was Slo,s22,9u2, while tho rodemntions for tho yoar wore only 7,123. The Treasuror renews the recommendations of his predecessors, that nil of tho postal revenues be denositod in tho Treasury and be dis

'DOCTORING OLD TIME." A Striking Picture A Revival of Old-Tlme Simplicities. In ono of Harper's issues Is given a very fine illustration of Roberta' celebrated painting, known as "Doctoring Old Tinio." H ropresonta a typical old-timer, with his bellows, mowing tho dust from an ancient clock, with ite cords arid weights carefully secured. One Of theso clocks In this generation is appreciated only as a rare rolio. Tlieuuggostivename, 'Doctoring OldTimo;" brings to our mind another version of tho title, used for another purpose, ''Old Timo Doctoring." Wo loam, through a reliable source, that one of tho enterprising proprietary medicine firms of tho country, hna been for years investigating tho formulas aud medical preparations used in the beginning of this century, and oven before, with a view of ascertaiuiug why people in our great-grandfathers' timo enjoyed a health and physical vigor so seldom found in tho present generation. They now thiult they havo socured tho socret or secrets. They flud that tho prevailing opinion that then ousted, that "-Nature has a remedy for fttory existing disorder," was true, and acting tndor this belief, our grandparents Used tho common herbs and plants. Continual trespass upon tho forest domain, has made theso herbs less abundant, and has driven them further from civilization, until thoy have been discarded as remedial agents because of tho difficulty of obtaining them. H. II. Warner, proprietor of Warner's safe

cure, and founder of the Warner Observatory, Hochcster, N. Y.. has been pressing investigations in this direction, into ths annals of old family histories, until ho has secured some very valuable formulas, from which his firm is now preparing medicines, to be sold by all druggists. They will, wo learn, be known under tho feneral title of 'Warner's Log Cabin Kemeiea." Among these medicines will be a "Barsaparilla," for tho blood and liver, '-Log Cabin IIops aud Buchu Bemedy," for the Btomach, etc, "Log Cabin Cough and Consumption Bemedy, a remedy called "Scalpino," for tho hair; "Log Cabin Extract," for internal and external use, and an old valuable discovery for Catarrh, called "Log Cabin Koso Cream." Among the list is also a "Log Cabin Plaster," and a "Log Cabin Livor Pill." From the number of remedies, it will be (een that they do not propose to euro all dis

Sawn upon lufforing Immunity, and that the

close or the nmetceutu century wut eeo tneso roots and herbs, as compounded under the title of Warner's Log Cabin Kemedies, as popular as they were at its beginning. Although they come iu the form of proprietary medicines, yet they will be none the loss welcome, for suffering humanity has become, tired of modern doctoring and the public has great confidence in any remedies put up by the firm of which H. H. Warner is the head. Tho peoSle have become suspicious of the effects of octoriug with poisonous drugs. Fow realize

A PJtorjMSOBAlE OW TRAVEL IS HMD BO, It does seem sari that rest should be divested of all its meaning, should signify extra exertion; and yet how generally is this becoming a feature of modern life 1 Of the thousands who voyage every summer, or wander southward with the swallows in the fall, there are indeed few who know anything of the art of travel, in which success presupposes both innate fitness and peculiar experience. It is safe to say, upon a subject to which I propose periodically to return, that a professorate of travel, a series of practical lessons from practical men and women, would, command as largo a revenue as

The victim gasped, but was silent;

there was an air of originality about the remark that he did not easily un

derstand.

"Yon usually shave yourself, do you

not?" asked the Headsman, raising rns face and breathing high above the doomed one's head. The unhappy man, bewildered by anew order of things which passed finite comprehension, confessed his guilt.

"I thought so," said the inquisitor,

from cuts or scratches, and your

mustache so evenly trimmed. A man

Threatened Fate of the Ti'ose.

The nose is. if we are to believe M.

le Bee, a Ireneh savant, gradually

losing its power to discharge its traditional function iu the case of the civilized peoples; and when the sense of smell vanishes altogether, as will infallibly bo the case one day he tells us,

tne organ itseii is uouna w iunow ua

example sooner or later. It is no doubt the fact, aa he points out, that

the olfactory sense is ever so much keener in the savage than in the civilized man, and it is reasonable to eon-

elude that the moro we progress in

civilization the duller the sense will grow. Its complete extinction, M. le

Bee assures us, is a more question oi time, and it is certain that nature never

conserves useless organs.

When the nose loses its power of

smelling the nose "must go," Civil

ization is gradually making us bald (about that there can be no doubt what

ever), nnd it will be a heavy priee to

pay for it if we are to lose our noses as well as our hair. If this ever happens the civilized world will, for one

tiling, nave to revise na etuuuuni ui comeliness. It may be that the civilized man of the future will see no beauty in a Greek statue unless it has lost its nose, which, ifc is true, is the case with most of them. Pall Mall Gazette.

Paris Barlier Underlying the smile entirely deep' there is no laugh broader than the one eneendered bv the American's first

Instead of a resting place for his back and a stool whereon to stretch his legs he must sit bolt upright and take his scraping.
