The Laiy Ant. A brown ant, it is said. Took it into bis head That be wanted an easier life; So he vowed tbat ail work Henceforth he would shirk. To the grief of his poor little wile. His "sisUrs and cousins And ants by the dozens" Remonstrated with him, until In a wild fit o( spite He left them outnuht. And clambered up out of the hill. And day after day He did nothing but play; And when he crew tirtd. he would climb And rock, lazy fellow. In a dandelion yellow. And thus passed the bright summiT time. He found plenty to eat Dainty crumbs, seeilsand meat, And never a thought did he give. Not a fit; did he care. How, by and by, he should fare. Where, or how, in the cold winter live. His brothers and sisters Worked their small feet to blisters. Their bodies to mere skin and lone; Many a crumb and dead fly. For the bleak by and by. Had they stored ere the summer was gone, But when autumn winds blew, Starved and chilled through and through. Oh, plteously then did he cry! But they said -Lazyant:" You most certainly can't nave a bit of our winter's supply." Then they closed up the door Till the winter was o'er. And left him, still pleading, outside: So this poor Utile sinuer Grew colder and thinner Each day, till he shriveled and died. Youth's Companion. Just for Fan. BY E. M. T. Run bovs!" shouted Dick. ''There che goes round the corner, catch her. Half a dozen boys, big enough to know better, came thundering along the pavement, whooping like wild Indians, andlooking not a bit more civilized, with their hair , standing on end, caps in hand, anil coat-tails Mving wide behind them. You would have believed they were Indians if you had een the object of their chase, for it was none other than "Poor Sail," the match-girl, who Hew like a deer before them. Occasionally she glanced back to her fleet-footed pursuers, terror and apprnhen-sion depicted on her face, panting ami darting swift glances from side to side, in the vain hope of seeing some escape from the mischievous rowdies behind her. Almost crazy with excitement, she did not .see that the grating had been raised in the pavement while some one threw coal into a cellar of a house which they were passing; and. with a terrible thud, down went i-r Sail into the hole. This was a most unexpected and unfortunate climax to their fine sport, and the thoughtless boys were brought to a sudden halt. It didn't seem at all funny to them now. The gentleman living in the house, attracted to the window bv the sound of their voices, looked out at them and then stepned to the door to see what it all meant. Then, as ever since the accusing angel appeared to Adam in Paradise, "they all began with one accord to make excuses," and blame everybody but themselves. 'Tor shame, boys!" said Mr. Baxter. "This proceeding is inexcusable. Don't stand there bandying words, but lend a hand to the poor child; I fear her bones are broken." He walked rapidly around the houe to the open cellar door. With sinking heart and trembling limbs, Dick Durham followed, the only one among the boys who had the manly courage to face the sad consequences of their thoughtlessness. Mr. Baxter lifted up the lirup little figure in his arms, and as Dick caught a glimpse of the white and rigid countenance, lie was almost beside himself with fright, "Is she dead?" he cried. "She has fainted at least," said Mr. Baxter. "I will take her up stairs and see if we can restore her." Mr. and Mrs. Baxter rubbed the dirty little hands, bathed her face, and used every means in their power tö restore consciousness to the prostrate form. To Dick it seemed ages. He thought more seriously in that short time than in all his life before. He blamed himself bitterly that he had lent himself to such a contemptible, cowardly act as to frighten a harmless girl, just because she was a little street waif that all the boys taunted and tormented. Visions of policemen and Jails passed before his swimming eyes, and he pictured the anger and grief of his father and mother; the pain it would give him to confess to them that their boy they believed so honorable and noble, was only an imaginary boy; that in reality he was mean and cruel, lie drew a si of anguish almost as pitiful to bear as the moan of poor Sail when she opened her eyes. "Thank Heaven she is not dead Ahen," thought Dick. "Sail, Poor Sail, tell me you are not much hurt," said he; but the wild words she spoke in answer told them she was delirious with pain and fright. Everybody knew that Foor Sail had no home or friends, but lived like many others of her class, sleeping where night overtook her in some cellar or any shelter she could find. So Mr. Baxter had his horse and spring wagon brought to the door, a mat tress from a lounge laid in it, and making Sail as comfortable as possible, took her to the hospital, that refuge humanity provides lor the helpless and friendless. In the meantime Mr. and Mrs. Durham were enjoying a good dinner in their plcasx 1 t a. 1 r t 1 am aimng-rwai. J um as jj.ra. iuruam was wondering why Dick was not on hand s usual, the yonnj; culprit appeared. His manner betrayed unusual agitation. He was nervous and depressed. His parents noticed his confusion, but supposed sorae- , thing had occurred at school to annoy him; and knowing his confiding and trustful di petition, knew that in his own time he would tell them all about it. Finding the longer he delayed the harder it was to broach the matter, he began his story: How the boys had commenced tormenting Sail, "just because she was so easy to scare," and had kept up these persecutions till they met with the nnexDected calamity or that morn ing. He saw astonishment, sorrow and dis appointment in their faces during his recital He did not try to shield himself from blame. He felt so guilty and miserable that nothing they could have said would have added the least weight to the load of remorse he car ried in his bosom. "Well, Dick," said his father at his con clasion, "I am grieved beyond measure. 1 could not have beli ;ved my boy would have been guilty of su;h a act I would have thought you would have been one of the first to resent an unkindness to one more humble or unfortunate than yourself. A weak, distressed, pitiable child, especially a girl, should appeal to all that is generous. noble and manly in a boy; and I did not think you would hesitate one moment to defend her from any annoyances in your power. I will not say I have been deceived in you, because I believe when you have time to realize what the consequences may be, you will be glad to make any reparation in vour power." That afternoon Dick could not study. neither did he want to meet his late com panions in his present frame of mind. He started toward school, but branched oa and walked down toward the pond. The same blue sky smiled above him as on yesterday, jjhe earn ';r1 oitht trees arched their

glossy necks and poured ravishing strains of melody from their swelling throats. The water lilies spread their waxy leaves in charming contrast with the cradle of green

in which they rocked gently up ana aown. The willows on the bank, and the reeds in the pond looked down at their own graceiui reflections, or kissed the glassy surface. But the sun shone, the birds fang, the lilies bloomed all unheeded by him that day. Oc casionally, when a frogleaied splashing into the water, or a loon's shrill cry sounded in the distance, he started with fear "so does conscience make cowards ot us all." The vision of that pale face, pinched and drawn in its agony, was between his eyes and all nature's loveliness. The words of his father kept sounding in his ears: "I had supposed you would be the first to defend the unfortunate " Almost unconsciousl v he found himself retracing his steps, and almcst to the Hospital where they had taken Sail. He would at least tell her how sorry he was, and see what amends he could make. When Dick saw her lying so wan and white, he could scarcely believe his eyes. It was the first time he bad ever see? her face and hands clean; her bair, t03, they had always laughed at so much, had beeu cut short and brushed smooth, and now thatthe tangles were out it looked as nice as Iiis own . "Sail, are you hurt much?" a-sked Dick, a big lump coming up in his throat and almost choking him. "Yes," she said; "the Doctor says I'll never walk any more. I don't care if I die if I can die soon, my bac k hurts me so 1 can't stand it.'' "Oh, Sail, won't you forgive me?" sobbed Dick. "I was only chasing you for fun. didn't think of hurting you." "Yes, I suppose the boys thought it was fun; I didn't, and she turned wearily away from him. Dick saw that he was a oor comforter, and eettinx no comfort for himself, he slow ly moved away. Suppose she died! He would always feel like a murderer. Or supjose she diu not die, but should be a cripple, confined to her bed or room, perhaps for a lifetime! What would life be worth to him if he could never run or jump, always confined to one tiresome place, at the mercy of others to wait upon or neglect? He had his dear father and mother who would sacri lice all they thought most of and liked to do best, to make the atriiction endurable, but Poor Sail had no friends to do tins for her. So, as he thought, he resolved by the help of God to be a true friend to her; to do for her as nearly as he could all his parents would do for him under such circumstances. Every evening saw him regularly on his way to the Hospital, never without som lttle luxury to eat or something else to give her pleasure. sue grew stronger, a B he read to her stu b stones as she could un derstand. Hertas'es grew and her mi id matured as the months rolled by (there is nothing develops the under-tan ding like suffering). With some instruction and much patience, in tune she was able to read for herself. Among o'her things Dick had given her iencil and paper, and she amused herself trying to draw the fares of the at tendants in the Hospital. Of course, they bore little resemblance to the originals at first, but with each enort they grew more and more striking, till it was easy to see her remarkable talent needed only proper cultivation to make her famous. Dick succeeded in interesting some others in his protege and soon had the suasfact on of taking her to a pleasant studio, with every convenience for the pursuit of her art, and a master to instruct her. All Dick's spending money he had religiously devoted to Sail's interest in one way or another. It required little self-denial to do this, but it did require all the resolution he could muster to sjend his leisure time with her, reading to or amusing her, when he wanted to be somewhere else, But it was a good school for him, and lie improved in it quite as much as Sail. It was teaching him many a lesson ot patience and benevolence he would have learned 110v. here else, making him familiar withscenes of suffering, showing him with what forti tude the good can endure trials, and he saw as never before how much he had to be thankful for. While "Poor Sail, the match girl," may find her life in the end more use ful and happy than if she had been left in peaceable possession of her basket of matches on that eventiui nav, dick docs not leei that he is entirely guiltless, even after all he has done for her, but I know he would feel like telling every loy to think a moment before they do anything "just for fun." Little Folks Abroad. Policemen "Now, then , move on! There's ' Sarcastic boy If there was vou nothing the matter here. Of course there isti t. wouldn't be here." The quiet of a Church service in Lewiston was broken on Sunday morning bv the following exhortation from the little four-year-old daughter of the parson: "Say, Miss , when vou so a goin to make that bunnet for my doll?" A little four-vear-old girl wanted to go to Sunday-school, so her mother taught her the verse of scripture, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want," and let her go. This is the way she repeated her text "The Lord is my bhepherd, but I don't want nothing." A little five-vear-old boy astonished his mother one day by urging her to see if his chin whiskers had not commenced to sprout. Another time, standing before her and look ing Up into her lace, he inquired: Ma, what's the reason I ain't a man now? I've got a jack-knife and a iockct-book?" A little Boston girl called one of her dolls, a jointless creature, her "woman s rights doll." "Hut why do you call her so?" asked her aunt, a lecturer upon that muchdiscussed question. "Oh, 'cause," the child answered, "she's just like you ; she can't ever sit down and be comfortable." "I say, mamma, if that whale that swallowed Jonah had as big a mouth as this one, why didn't Jonah walk out at one corner?" asked a youngster at the whale exehibition. "You must think Jonah was a fool; he didn't want to walk out and get drowned," was the quick response of a young-brother, before the mother could answer. A Catholic mother once showed her child a beautiful doll a St. John of an exquiste rose-color. "See," she said, "he has been very good, and Heaven always rewards the good by making them beautiful." "Oh," says the child, lifting its shoulders, "don't believe that, mmania; this little St. John looks very meek because he's all glued tip, but if he could only move, you'd sec!" Financial: Jimmy Toupuboy has issued a circular to the boys in the block, calling in his loans and retiring bis circulation. He has had a "terrible time," the boys having combined to prevent the maturing of his monopolistic schemes. Hut the moment they began to feel his grip they "tumbled" and abandoned their "funding bill" project. Jimmy now controls the marble market, the boys having knuckled down, and his kite seems to fly higher than ever. The nervous mother of a bright little boy was alarmed lest he should take the whooping cough, which prevailed in the neighborhood. She talked so much atiout itand worried over it that she had infected the child with her fears to such an extent that he would scarcely leave her hide. One night, after the little fellow had been put to bed and asleep, a donkev was driven past the house, and when lust opiKxsite set up his hee-haw. With a shriek the little fellow was out of bed screaming at the top of his voice: "The whooping cough is comin mamma; the whooping cough is coming!" Yes, "saw," it is Arkansaw, and don't you forget it! The Legislature has ofliciallv de cided this. We can now sing: The prettiest girl I ever saw Was on the banks of the AiLansaw.

It is regarded as "a great event for Italy" that Signora Anna Maria JIozzni has addressed a public meeting at Kome, advocating woman suffrage. The newest Mrs. Rothschild did not wear a single jewel when she stood up to be married. All the world knew she had plenty of gems, so there was no use in bothering with them. Philadelphia News. The wife of the historian Grote must have been an extraordinary woman. She rode without a saddle; she was not afraid to put off in a boat without a man; and she was plucky enough to marry her lover without permission, and return home without saying a word alout it. Sydney Smith described this lady ami her lord in his happy fashion: "I do like them both so much! for he is lady-like, and she is a perfect gentleman." Ought a woman of sixty to marry? Certainly, if she baj money enough. A husband is an expensive luxury, to be sure, and no woman should take one recklessly. So long as she is young and able-bodied, and can earn sufficient to support two, the risk isn't so great; but a woman of sixty is too old for right down liard work, and must have capital or remain single. This idea of marrying a man and then leaving him to starve isn't Christian, to say the least of it. Susan B. Anthony. Women Do Not Want to Vote. Woman's Journal. The above assertion is often made by men, accompanied by another one, vis: "When women want the vote they will get it." Having said this, they assume that they themselves have no duty in the matter and can wait quietly until all women are so alive to the fact of their joIitical degradation, that they will with one voice demand the ballot, and tind all men eager to grant it. Not long ago I asked an excellent man, a leader among men, to second a measure which would encourage and help women. The following reply came to me: That women will vote some day I think likely. When I see evidence that any considerable number desire to ote, or will vote, I shall not be slow to do my part toward securing for them this privilege. Hut I do not believe in thrusting a great responsibility like this upon a class of people who plainly show that they are utterly uuwilling to assume it. There would be force in this reply, if suffrage were a class right, instead of an individual right. Lucretia Mott and Lydia Maria Child did want to vote. They knew they had the right and they desired to exercise it. To the end of their lives, both of these women devoted time and strength and toil to arouse and convince others, men and women. But they died disfranchised. Their individual riht existed all the same, and the indifference or unwillingness of other women formed no possible excuse for denying to them what was rightfully theirs. On the principle which my friend maintains, men would be disfranchised also, for it is well known by Committee of all political parties that endless trouble and exiense are necessary to induce men to attend the elections. The Providence Journal lately published this item: The name of about 3.000 registry voters had been entere, at the City Clerk's oilice up to the close of registration last night. This is not onehalf probnbly not one-third the number ol citizens who were entitled to registration, if they desired It. If there is a stHcial party strife, as in a Presidential election or a personal interest, men vote. But on other occasions it re quires great urgency to induce them to do so. This item is reported of an election in France. An incident absolutely without precedent in the annals ol universal suffrage occurred in the De partment ol the Auue. r ranee, aunug me municipal elections. The Parish of Thezan, in the Arondissement ot Narbonne, has a population of NX) souls, but not an elector presented himself at the ix41 on Sunday, January 9. It would be easy to multiply instances that show the indifference of men to the suffrage. But nobody thinks it necessary, or wishes to take away their franchise on account of that indifference. The only true thinp: to do is, to secure the right of stiff rage to the individual. The number who will vote has nothing whatever to do with the settlement of this question If the gentleman whose answer is quoted above had seen Mrs. Mott trying to carry a parcel too large for strength, he would have has tened to relieve her. In her more difficult task to lift men and women out of the state of mental asphyxia caused by centuries of false religious teaching, by laws ana customs and education which enforce the idea of subjugation for women, he shoald all the more feel his obligation to help. It is this very refusal of men which is most in the way of woman suffrage. Women see men with the power to extend to them the oprortumty to vote, but they do not do it. The one direct and only iossible inference is that men do not want them to vote. Nothing is so much needed to-day by the woman movement as the chivalric and generous championship of men who are themselves emancipated, who have escaped from the londage of old customs, and who know that' justice is always .sjifc. Women are in a position to be asked, and not to ask. When, instead of the oft releated "Women don't want to vote," and "I told you so," uttered with a tone and nianner'anything hut friendly, women hear the invitation cordially friven, "Come and help us elect the best jkt.soiis for the pxxl of all of us," half the obstacles women now feel will vanish. In a certain district in Kansas was a forlorn old log school house. There was need of a new one to keep colds and chilblains from the children. Kvery mother wanted the new school house. One man had always said, "He did not think it was a woman's place to vote." "She had better be at home minding the children." I3ut he wanted the new school house, and he wanted his wife's vote to hfl p his own. It was a little hard for him to eat his own words. But at last he saiil, "Come my dear, it is time to go to the school meeting. Oct your bonnet. We shall need every -vote if we have a new school house." The wife wanted the new building, and wanted to vote for it, but she also needed to be asked cordially by this opjosing power that had always said, "Women had better be at home, etc " She went, and the votes of the women added to those of the men secured the new school house. Try this method, centlemen. It will do no harm, and it will be vastly helpful to us. And remember suffrage is an individual right. To withhold it when it is due because some will not use it is both un just and absurd. Women and Politics. I Detroit Free Press. But for women, literatnre especially that portion 01 it known as belles letters ana tue fine arts would be cruder and more barbar ous than they are now. Feminine taste, feminine sense of beauty, delicacy and ar.

lis tic instinct chiefly prompt the aJorn-

nienbj which smooth and soften manners and cultivate the finer impulses. Even though the masculine intellect is concerned in gratifying the indulgence of these tastes, yet it is in response to feminine demands that modern art and the more joetic and hu man side of literature largely nourishes. It is women rather than men who are inter ested in decorative art; in the general fur nishing and the graceful and delicate appendages of refined and attractive homes; in embroidery and pottery and carving. They give greAtfimpetus ami large support to musical euucauon. ana are musically sensitive and susceptible. Women are generous patrons of the lighter and more delicate phases of literatnre of poetry, biography, and especially ot fiction, all of which coiufiose a large proportion of the whole body of iterature. Women are worshipful and religious. But for them the Church would die. They are the vital and reviving element of all congregations of whatsoever denomination. But for woman's interests in these various forms of human development, art would find expression chiefly in architecture, in massive buildings, or in structures devoted merely to material and mechanical uses. Literature would be short of much of its grace. It would be harder, graver, far less imaginative. Even feminine apparel, where some reform would be gladly welcomed, would assume a too severe, too sober, too neutral and depressing a form and hue. In place of much that is cheerful, enlivening, hopeful and stimulating in all these respects, we would have a deadening and superfluous gravity. Art would be supplanted by mechanism; poetry bv history and political philosophy; religion by science. Should the h p s of some women be realized and the leminine mind become absorbed in politics to the extent of exercising a refined and reforming influence therein, one might reasonably expec to see these sopctine and, it you "choose, superficial, attributes of human society, sacrificed, in proportion to the importance which politics assumed. It is not meant that the two are necessarily incongruous, but that the human mind is, with comparatively few exceptions, incapacitated for a wide compass and conihensive grasp. If the time and attention which earnest, conscientious and seriousminded men now give to the cultivation of their imagination or of their artistic instincts, or of their love of beauty, or of their religious sentiments, be given to political science, to government, and to the art of governing, it would be at the expense of this other set of faculties and tastes. This is now observable in respect to men. As a rule, those most interested in art nnd the drama, in literature, music and ecclesiastical affairs, are not interested inpoljtical science or in practical Government. ' The painter, actor, dramatist, jK)et, musician, and even the preacher, except on the moral and sentimental side, generally not only ignore, but repudiate, politics. They are bored by the subject. They seldom find in it anything worthy of their attention, regarding it chiefly as stupid quarrels and conflicts which possess no imaginative interest, until it rises to the dramatic phase of war, assassination or intrigue, by which it is invested with the romance that appeals to imaginative sensitiveness. Women, if not as imaginative in creative artAs men, are more susceptible to the influences which stimulate the imaginative faculty than men are. They are more sympathetic than men. Hence they are interested in those features of life which have an immediate social interest rather than in a broader political one. If they become interested in politics, they will be inevitably t xposed to feel less interest in literature and the fine arts. Even if politics are improved thereby, it will be at the exense of these liner manifestations of the human mind; and for the reason that these harmonize more entirely with feminine moods and express more happily feminine instincts, women are not likely to abandon them for iolitics or political science. A Kansas Woman Lawyer. Paola (Kas.) Cor. Kansas City Times. Miss Flora Torrey WagstatF, step-daughter of Judge W. R. Wagstaff, of this city, was admitted to the Bar of this County and sworn to faithfully discharge the duties of an attorney-at-law. The occasion attracted considerable attention, and many visitors out of curiosity as well as friendly interest were present during the examination. The examination was conducted in open Court by a Committee of three, all very devoted aHd ardent supporters of "the majesty of the law," and certainly, if ceremony and austerity is the pleasure of law, its majesty was not ollended in this in stance, for those dignified Committeemen stood at the post of duty and besieged their fair would-be sister-in-law for a day and a half with all kinds of quizzes, qurriesand technicalities known in legal catechism. However, the young lady seemed not the least bit embarrassed or discouraged by the arduous task assigned her, and disposed of it witli apparently as much relish, and as completely as though it had been a chapter of Endyrnion. His Honor, Judge Hin m tevens, and the Committee complimented her very highly for the high degree of proficiency she had displayed in legal lore. Miss agstaff is a handsome blonde, very ladylike and refined in manner, a bright scholar, and highly accomplished in music and painting, bhe has read law about two vears, and attended the St. Louis Law School for one year. She being the first lady candi date in this County, and probably the second in the State, considerable interest was manifested in the extent of her examination. Pleasantries Concerning' Women.

She always finds something lor me to do. -An exchange tells of a young lady who, six months after a happy marriage, n being asked if she was much troubled with cold feet, simpered hesitatingly, and with ingenuous simplicity replied: " Ye-yes; but they're not my own."" It has been decided by some of the ultra fashionable people that "bridal tours" are not the correct idea. Thus another serious obstacle to marriage is erected. There isn't one woman in a hundred that would get married if the bridal tour wasn't held out as a sort of inducement. The Figaro announces a new way of making an acquaintance. A snob about to enter a restaurant meets a lady and salutes her with utmost courtesy. "Excuse me," she says, "I believe I have not the pleasure" . "A thousand pardons, lady," says the snob, "I mistook you for another charming lady, the Countess Fedora, of Falconberg," and she's so flattered that she immediately enters into conversation. A Club for women exclusiyelyf called the Somerville Club, is to be opened in London, with 1,300 members, ranking from peeresses to seamstresses. It is intended especially for the benefit of respectable poor women.

Two country spinsters were stopping at a friend's house in Boston after their return from a scientific lecture. They occupied the same apartment, and shortly after mid

night one of them started up. and. awaking the other, exclaimed in great trepidation:

"Uetsey, I believe there is a man under the bed!" Betsey merely raised her finger in an admonitory way. and replied: "Don't make a noise then, Jane; you might scare him away." Bernhardt seems to have started a boom for thin girls in w York, and they are now the popular kind. Fasnions in girls change somewhat as the fashions in every thing else. It is very awkward that it is so, and has a tendency to discourage marriage. A man naturally hesitates to get married when he can't be certain from one week to another what the latest conceit in girls is. The fashion may change any minute, and it wouidn t be at all desirable for any man to find himself with a wife on his bands who is out ot style !ecause she is thin, or because she is not thin, or something of that sort. The thin girl boom is an entirely new freak of fashion, but it can not be overlooked that the distinguished woman who has set this fashion is not at all tinn in some respects. Philadelphia Times.

Then take up the butter and sugar mixture, and while you are beating it energetically let some one pour into it slowly and gradually the hot flour sauce. If the beating is not stopped for a moment the whole sauce will rise and be foamy as seafroth. Flavor with wine, brandy or vanilla, as preferred. This is the best sauce made. Potato flour is sometimes used instead of wheat flour. Siamese Mode or Propagation. The Siamese method of obtaining rose slips seems very simple and effectual. They simply bind plantain leaves about the stock in the form of a funnel, the opening being above. In this funnel is placed gxd earth, which is kept moist during the rainy season by the daily showers. In the dr season it must be watered occasionally, not enough, however, tecause it to mold. Usually within fifteen days rootlets will start from the stem at the encircled point. When these are of a sufficient size the new bush is severed from the parent stalk below the cone, and begins for itself a separate existence. In this way large rose-bushes may be obtained without difficulty. At least 95 per cent, treated in this manner live and do well. The plantain leaves have no virtue save to hold the earth and retain the moisture. A Touching Story. One rarely meets with a more touching romance than is found in the following story which comes from Wales: A number of years ago some miners in exploring an old pit that had long been closed, found the body of a young man dressed in a fashion long out of date. The peculiar action of the air of the mine was such as to preserve the body so perfectly that the body appeared asleep rather than dead. The miners were puzzled at the circumstance: no one in the District'had been missed within their remembrance, and at last it was resolved to bring the oldest inhabitant, an old lady long past her eightieth year, who had lived single In the village the whole of her life. On being brought into the presence of the body a strange scene occurred; the old lady fell on the corpse, kissed it and addressed it by every term of loving endearment spoken in the language of bygone generations. He was her only love; she had waited for him during her long life; she knew he had not forsaken her. The old lady and the young man had been betrothed sixty years before. The lover had disappeared mysteriously, and she had kept faithful during the long interval. Time had stood still with the dead man, but had left its mark on the living woman. The miners who were present were a rough set but very gently and with tearful eyes they removed the old lady to her house, and that night her faithful spirit rejoined that of her long-lost lover." Nature's Sluice-Way. The kidneys are nature's sluice-way to wash out the debris of our constantly changing bodies. If they do not work properly the trouble is felt everywhere. Then be wise and as soon as you see signs of disorder, get a package of Kidney-Wort and take it faithfully. It will clean the sluice-way of sand, gravel or slime and purify the whole system. Druggists sell It both liquid and dry, and it is equally efficient either way. Independent. 1 -
