Once in a great while some ono ol the oldest inhabitants, in exploring the ehurabers of his memory, brings it from some hidden corner dust v. covered with cobweb3, and grav with a;ro - brushes it up, and tries to i estore its old-timo vividness to gratify the curiosity of an Inaupeasable grandchild who wants "to hear a story." It happened away back tn the fjist. Tha tall, dicnilied man with irongray hair and beard, with clothes of FrreDroaebable cut. and a general air of culture and self-possession about him, who sat lookin? somewhat wearily out of tho ear window, was traveling on an Eastern railway. Ho had been "out West more ly on a visit. It was a raw. chilly dav in Novem ber, and the Bkv was overcast with. clouds. However much ono may revere Kmerson, Bunker Htil Monument, the Charter Oak. the old mill at .New port, and the memory of tho Pilgrim Fathers, there is seldom anythingr at tractive in a ew Ktiglon.l landscapo in November, and it is n.iwondor the sun himself often gets tired of looking at it, puta a ell of clouds over his face, and hastens on to tho jrolden West The elderlv. diffnified traveler soon wearied .f the bleat laridscapa flyinjr nast. He took a naper from his pock et, opened it, and began to read. mere wa$ an aruuie on iuh euiiui page, written in the editor's ablest and most pessimistic vein, that attracted his attention The country so the editor said fat soing to tho dogs. Crop3 had beau a failure. Tho national finances ware at, a low eon. a. no . i uo was miseoverned. It had been a year of failure, and tho editor could see no ray of hope ahead. It was small satisfaction to the trav eler to note that the pa()er was nearly a week old. If things w-3ro so desperate as they appeared to bo th.y surely could not have improved much in one week. He laid the paper on his knee, took from his pocket a memorandumbook, wrote raoiillv in it for some minutes, pondering awhi e, loo.;ed over what he had written, added a e.v words, replaced the book in his rocket, and bowed his head in reverie. Trave'in fur, mister.-"' The voice that disturbed him was that of a lank individual on tho scat in lront. I am on my way to the Stato capi tal," he replied courteously. On business, mebby!" hazarded the inquisitive man. The elderly traveler did not reply. Ho had la. sad into reverie aain. "Anything p tickler on your mind.-1" "Whv. sir.

"Anything to te thankful fur: Land o' goodness: American, ain't ye?" Yes. "In good health "Fairly." "Alive, anyhow, ain't ye?" "LTnouestionablv. But look at this artie'e." an ' he handed him tho paper he had been reading. Va-as, said th! otner, as ne slowly ran his eye down the column. ' I saw that day 'fore yistody.

"What might bo yer name?" "My name s Hendrickson." "Why, you're " Crash". Without a moment's warning the train in rounding a curve had dashed into a "wild" freight-train coming from the opposite direction. The visible effects of a railway dis aster were not disposed of as quickly then as how, but the accidont ha l happened within a few mile of tho capital, and a relief train was quickly dispatcn a to tno scene. Tender hands cared for the wounded and dying, and the lifeles remains of those wh:;se eyes had closed forever on ti.is world were gathered up for transmission to friends. Down at the bottom of a hea: of broken timbers in the wrecked car at the foot of the embankmont they found an elderly, gra, -haired traveler, a ive but insensible. Later in the day ho opened his eves. He was in his own home in the capital city. A ?weet-faced matron was bending over him. "What is it. doar? Where am I? What has happened?" ho asked. "Bush, John." the answered, "iou are among your own"Ah! I reme iiber," he broke in, feebly. He closed his eyas. In a moment he opened them again. "Rachel," he said, "will you please look in the inside pocket of my coat and see if there is a little pass book in it?" hhe complied. "Will vou please read to me tho last entry in it?" Amonsr the friends standing silently about the b?A was one who s .emcd to sustain BOtre confidential relations to the disabled man To hira she handed the little book and he opened it and read aloud as follows: Ibo tender merric- of God have failed not and we have not boen consumed.

Itaehel, is anything the matter with my right arm?" "Xo, John." "Then raiso mo up." His purpose was divinod.

A r raid of Poverty, Poor Thins;. JMiss Sylvia fireen has a fad which is hers by inheritance. It is for money. Hut, unlike her mother, Mtv. Hetty Green, it is not for the making of money, but for saving it. She is eonRtantly in fear of tho poorhouse and is afraid to spend a cent. She has :l.tK)0,OuU in her own right from her grandfather, but spends nothing. She is agree ible to livo with, being ouiot, amiablo. and accommodating, though not so cheerful as sho might be. She is not stingy to the household, 1 ut will not spend anything on herself. Sho has devised almost every kind of bank for saving "her spare" change and is always looking ahead into tho future, with her money hidden in her hand 'or safe-keening. Her friends say that this is the result of early training, and will bo eradicated if she ever comes into the fifty or so millions her mother will leave her. New York Sun. Doubtful Dainties. fn tho dingy restaurants froquonted by the lower orders of Home, Florcnco, and Naples, a dish composed of a harmless Wood serpent's flesh is regarded us something of a dainty. Parisians ot the inferior classes ure ulso greut outers of Iried snakes, but unwittingly to, for the reptiles aro palmed oft' on them as eels. Tho snakes aro caught in the wilder part of the Vinconnes Wood and brought up to a special market near the Place dela Kepublique. It is probablo, however, that even if tho members of tho jioorer classes there who occasionally indulge in cols were apprised of tho fraud ' practiced at their expense they evince no loathing nor even lack of appetite, seeing that they are ready to devour not only horseflesh, but moat of mulo, donkey, and dog, any day in tho week. tine Woman's Testimony. This is the day ot shams. I know a woman who ia supposed to entertain lavishly, yet who rarely receives a guest. I call her functious "ghost parties,'1 because they are only the shadows of the substance, tho event itself being purely imaginary. Why, that woman has gained the reputation for entertaining, and has received no end of dinner invitations on absolutely nothing at all! I have suspected her tacties for some time, and now I am quite sure that what i assert is indeed true - that in nine cases out of ten her dinners aro purely imaginary.' She has a clever way of finding out who is engaged, to whom, and then sho asks people who sho knows cannot como to her house - and so scores to her social account, with no other outlay than her crested paper und dainty seal. Crauby Cheruhln'. At tno Paria Conservatory, then under tho direction of Cherubini. Berlioz was an unruly genius, and not in favor with his teachers, especially tho precisoand "classical" Cherubini. One examination day, Cherubini was running over a piece which Berlioz, had submitted, when ho came upon a complete rest of two nieas res. ''What is that'" he asked, in his usual ill-natured tone. "Mr. Director," said the pupil, "I wished to produce an effect which I thought could best be produced bv silence." "Ah, you thought it would produce a good effect upon the audience if you suppressed two measures?" ''Yes, sir." "Very good. Suppress tho rest: the effect will be better still." ' Tho Knot Was Hot Tied. Rather an old couple applied at the "Little Church Around the Corner" a few days ago to be married.

'Why?" ne asked. j "Well, we've only got $00, and maybe tho lawyer won't givo you your decree if you don't pay him and " ' Hut before she got any further she was informed that Rev. Dr. Houghton didn't marry divorced Tpersons. That settled it: thcro was no marriage. New YorK Morning Journal.

This may seem like a bold assertion to those familiar only with the means generally in use for its treatment ; as, nasty codliver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract of malt, whiskey, different preparations of hypophosphites and such like paUiativts. Although by ma.,y believed to be incurable, there is the evidence of liandreds of living- witnesses to the fact that, in all its earlier stages, consumption is a curable disease. Not every case, but a large percentage of cases, and we believe, mv 9$ per cent, are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingeringcough with copious expectoration (including tubercular iatter), great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by " Golden Medical Discovery " were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need uot take cur word for it They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in misrepresenting them, and who were often strongly prejudiced aud advised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery," but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal utaladv. all other medicines with j which they are acquainted. Nasty codI liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and ! mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these ! cases and had either utterly failed to benej fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for ! a short time. Kxtract of malt, whiskey. and various preparations ol tlic hypophosphites had also bceu faithfully tried m vain.
