The Myrtleville Scandal.

It commenced bv Mrs. Sawyer's arrival at Mrs. Mufnt's early in the forenoon. evidently i" state of great excitement and full of news. With an air of profound mystery she drew Mrs. MuflU from the g-trden to the sittingroom, and said to ber:

What do you think has happened 7 Now Mrs. Sawyer was well kuown.in Myrtleville as 'newsy us one who lost no opportunities «f collecting the moat reliable and startling items ot information regarding the sayings of the Myrtievllliaus. Accordingly Mrs. Muffit prepared her mind lor tidings of moment.

What is it she asked,settling down in a chair for a good talk.' You'll not tell I told you 'Never.'

Because, you see, it wasn't intended for ine to hear. I just went over to Mrs. Seymour's this morning, and Mrs. Kitely was in there, and the door stood open, and I couldn't but hear what was said, yot» knofr, and-—'

But what was it? cried Mrs. Mufflt

Mrs. Sawyer paused for breath. •Fred Seymour and Belle Orainger have oloped.' 'Eloped!'

Mrs. Seymour was just teiling Mrs. Kitely a* I weut in. Aa soon as they saw me coming they began to talk about the oewj in the morning's paper, bat you c*n't throw me off the track in a a 1

Oh, my goodness!'cried Mrs. Mufflt suddenly, aa if some inspiration had s6ize4 ber.

You've board something, too?' crlod the widow. 'No but I saw Belle Grainger this morning, quite early, passing by here in the direction of the station, and she had on tor traveling-dress and her waterproof, and carried her satchel.'

Qeing to meet htm on tho eight o'clock train. Ob, the sly, deceitful thingI Tuiuk of her poor father!' •And her sick mother. It'sawfnl! And everybody kuowa Fred Seymour is aa good as engaged to Susy Belknap.'

There I I'll go right over to Belknap's,' or led Mrs. Sawyer. 'Somebody ought to break it gently to Susan. Poor girl 1 No wonder they went oil slyly.

And away bustled Mrs. Sawyer to find Mrs. Btdknap and Susy in the sit-ting-room, sewing. It was a keen satIsfaction to tell the news there, for Mrs. Belxoapi being in delicate health, and possessing atnple mean*,kept a servant and llvori in a style of rdtinement that Myrtleville generally condemned aa •putting on airs.' •TO take her down a peg,' as Mrs. sawyer mentally resolved to do, was a vulgar triumph she enjoyed greatly in HUtlelpatlon. Bert if was anticipation

Belknap and ber daughter re

ceived the news in a quiet way, aa if the gossip possessed no especial internal for thetn, asking no questions and manifesting no chagrin.

The story had krown a little on its way through Mrs. Mufflt'a sitting-room and Mrs. Sawyer had now a full description of the runaway bride's costume, and the train too was specified by which the young couple traveled.

But after Mrs. Sawyer had gone to take her news elsewhere Susy turned a yery psle face to ber mother, asking pitifully:

O uiamma, can it be true I will go over to Mrs. Seymour's, dear, if you wish it.'

Not for the world. If it is true we tunst never let sny one know how we feel U,' she said. And her lip quivered. 'Fortunately, no one knows we are actually engaged. If It Is not true•It seems to come very direct,'said Mrs. Belknap, aa sue drew her daughter into a close motherly embrace. 'Mrs. Sawveris a terrible gossip, and boaybodv, "bat I never knew ber to be guilty ofabeolnte falsehood.'

Mrs. Kitely is very intimate with Mrs. Seymour. I have beard Fred aay the* were school-mates. So it is quite natural for her to be telling Mrs. KiteIv, and speak of something else when !&rs. Sawyer went In.' 'I can scarcely believe it of Fred,' »ald Mrs. Belknap,

Nor And Belle, too. who has been my friend so long, and ber only interest In Fred eeetned to be in bis love for tue. Oh, mother! I can't believe it,' la the mean time the story was spreading from bouse to house,gaining a little here and a little there aa It waa repeated.

Mrs. Gray bad seen Fred Seymour going in the direction of the station at half-past seven, and It did not seem to ooenr to the gossips that, as his business was tn the city, this was a sight of dally occurrence.

Another one bad always thought Miss (jrainger's quiet, modest manner covered a deoelttol heart.

The young oonple were discovered to have every iauit the Imagination of their aucuaers oould summon up, and Mrs. Belknap and Mrs Seymour shared the odinn aod pUy wiUi Mia. Gtulasac who certainly should have attended more sirleOy *», the •duoatts® of her daughter, and giTen ber more careful moral training.

Every mother In Myrtleville was pl««aly thankful it waa not her daughter .who had so disgraced bereelf, and the duttirtwni, as a general rale, secretly wished they bad Mlsa Grainger^ chance, for Fred Seymour eras decidedly bean la MyrtlevUle, and teaetd' •r was known to have a property fhMB her late husband that would make th* young nsaa Independent when, In

"wf Wf^"

coarft* of natore, It' reverted hfm He «s engaged on one of the evening pap#- of the great metropolis, and was conFKtered talented and upright—a mast who in time would make a name an* position of honor.

Ilia attentions to Sufcy Belknap, though the fact or their engag ment bad not been published, had been too marked to escape the notice of eyes so pryio* aa thoce ix«.

ts»*

by the good

people of MyrtlevUle. and his inconstancy was a matter of marvel, ss Susy was a maiden whom any man might be proud to a in.

When the four o'clock train came in, Mr. Qrainger,a little, nervous man, all excitability, was amazed at the sympathizing laces that greeted blm on the platiorm.

A chill like death seized his heart. For years bis wife bad been an invalid, suffering from spine complaint. Had sh« dted while be was away

White as a sheet, he turned to a friend standing near, paying: •Why do you look

at roe? What

is the matter at home?' 'My poor friond, have you beard nothing?'

A choking sensation came over the loving husband, but he struggled against it, saying: •Quick, tell me! What is it—Mary •Ho Mrs. Grainger is as well as usual, I believe, but there is a very sad story to break to you regarding your daughter.'

Wrath took the place of terror. 'My daughter! cried the little man, furiously. 'Who dare to carry stories about my daughter.'

Wei!—you—see,' stammered his friend, 'the women folks say she eloped tbhimorning with Fred Seymour.' 'Fred Seymour! Why, he's bead over ears in love with Susy Belknap. My Belle! Why,she has beon engaged to Lieut. Weston, of tbe navy, though be did not publish tbe fact for the benefit of all the tattlers in Myrtieville.'

I am afraid,' was the reply, 'that it was tbe faet of these engagements that drove them to secrecy and elopement.'

I tell you the whole story is false!' roared the excited father. 'I'll make these mischief makers eat their own words! My Belle, indeed They must be crazy.'

But on his way home Mr. Graingpr met tbe report in so many places,heard it in such plausible versions, that be entered bis wife's room with a very grave face, from which ail angry excitement had vanished.

Where is Belle, Mary?' 'She went to the city this morning to do some shopping. She willst tyat ber Aunt Maria to-night.'

Did young Seymour go up by the same train?' I suppose so. He usually goes away at eight, and that is tbe train Belle took.

Mr. Grainger was on tbe point of telling his wife Ue whole story, but on second thought restrained bis impulse. Sure, in his own fatherly confidence in bis gentle, modest child that there was some mistake admitting of explanation he said nothing. After all, it was a subject for congratulation that none of the busybodles of Myrtleville bad in vaded the slok room, and he easily m»de some trivial excuse for going out again. He was determined to sift the gossip thoroughly before alarming the invalid, and the tirst visit was to the telegraph office at the railway station. 'Is Belle at your house?' flashed over tbe wires, and was carried to a handsome house in town.

Yes. Will be down by the next train,' was the answer for poor Belle imagined there wua death or frightful illnoss to cause her father's message when a visit to her aunt was so common an occurrence.

Satisfied on this point, Mr. Grainger quietly waited till the train came in, walked up tbo street with bis daughter on his arm, left her at home, and startod out to defy all Myrtleville.

From bouse to -house he traveled with exemplary patience, and followed the snake-likecoils of tbe Btory, till be faced Mrs. Sawyer, who earnestly assured him:

Mrs. Seymour and Mrs. Kitely were in the sitting-room aa I came in the back way through the kitchen. They were talking, and just as I got to the door Mrs. Seymour told Mrs. Kitely that her son and Belle Granger haci Hoped. Tbev saw ma then, and Mrs. Seymour sild, very carelessly: 'Here are the morning papers, Mrs. Kitely, just change tbe conversation.' •And you rushed oft to carry the news all over Myrtleville,' said Mr. Grainger.

Well, I thought ii must be true, from such an authority •Pshaw! You misunderstood what waa said.'

I tell you I heard her as plain as I hear you now.' Telling Mrs. Kitely her son and my daughter had eloped.

Yes. I'd swear to it on my oath,' said Mrs. Sawyer, as, if there were several other ways of swearing,if she chose to take her choice.

Suppose you step over to Mrs. Kitely's with n»e?'

Well, I will.' But. to Mrs. Sawyer's discomfiture Mrs. Kitely denied the story entirely. Mrs. Seymour had never given her any auob information, either in confidence or otherwise.

Mrs. 8wyer tearfully persisted in ber story and, finally, the trio went to Mrs. Seymour's.'

The hero of tbe story was by this time at borne, and eating bis supper when tbe visitors entered.

It waa an awkward story to tell, but it waa told and Mrs. 8eymour's face was a picture of indignant surprise.

I!' she cried: *1 say my Fred had eloped with Belle Grainger! Why,Mrs. Sawyer, yon must be dreaming!

Vnn ulH cn hnari YOU.' I

You said so—I heard you,' sobbed the widow. •Said what?'

Yon aald distinctly, 'Belle Grainger ran away with my son this morning? At this point Mrs. Seymour burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, to the great consternation of ber audience.

She laughed till she was obliged Ut wipe tbe tears from her eyes when,, catching sight of Mr. Grainger's disturbed lace, she said, with sodden gravity:

Pardon me, Mr. Grainger. see have moat innooently closed yoa a serious annoyance. The truth Is this: Fred, as you know,baa all the morning papers cent to him by lhe early tr«ln, and no any of the nel*bbors cone in to borrow them. Mr», Kitely always liken to see the Sun, and I save It for ber boi this morning your daughter stop? pedon her way to the station for £a» per read as *tn rode to town, and took the Sua. Wh«* Mrs. Kitoiy came In to read the papers I Mid ber, 'Belie Grainger haa run awsy with my Sun this moraine 'And all Myrtleville has been busy with Mm scandal Mra.

she Is quite sure, might have mad*T such a mistake on the same groands. Prettv Susy was not left long in doubt, 'for Fred, having drawn from Mrs. Sawyer the confession that she 'thought it a duty to tell the Belknaps tbe first thing,' hsstened over to bis betrothed wife to vent his indignation against ail tattlers and tmschief-mak ers, and very soouJdr. and Mrs. Frederick Seymour's wedding cards put the fiuai contradiction to the Myrtleviile scandal.

DEAENE«S CAUSED BY LATA I EH. Catarrh not unfrequently produces deafses?.

Mr. Levi Sphinges, of Nettle Lake (P. 0.), Williams county,O., formerly of Durban's Corners, O., has been cured of deafness of fourteen ycare* frtanri-ng, by using Dr. Sage's Catarrh Kerned/. He was so deaf i.e could not hear a person talk when seated by his side, and can now hear the church bells ring two miles distant—so be writes. A MARKED CASE OF DEAFNESS EED.

Dickeusokvu-le. Xing. Co., N. Y., February 22, 1S72. About one year ago I caught a severe cold in the head, which terminated in a severe form of Catarrh. During the time ulcerations occurred in the nasal pa.«sa ges, and I became wholly deaf in one ear, with partial deafness in the other. The inflammation had involved all the delicate structures of the ears, and I was in immediate dangerof permanent deafness. The discharge became profuse and fetid, both iBto my throat and from my ears. In this condition I called on Dr. Pierce for aid, who prescribed his Golden Medical Discovery and Catarrh Remedy, and under their use have rapidly recovered. My hearing is restored, and my Catarrh is entireiv well. John Smith

(From The Mail October 4tli.j Our Chromo. For some months we have contemplated adopting the plan of many of the leading eastern magazines and papers of giving chromos to mall subscribers. The announcement has oeen delayed until this time for the reason that we could not get a chromo of buch merit as would be satisfactory. It gratifies us to announce tbat we nave at last succcedcd, beyond our expectations. By a lucky hit we succeeded In making an arrangement with a New York religious weekly, by which the Joint use of tho chromo "Good Morning" is secured. It is bright aud new, aud is peculiarly attractive. Upon this page we give a wood cut representation of it. But what, do our best, can we show by one linpressiou? while 'hechro'no has the advantage of sixteen Impressions and as many different shades of color. On tills wood cut we print 1,000 copies iu a sinstle hour. It requires two mouths' lime to get out an edition of the same number ol Chromos. Wonderful as it may appear, this chromo, which any dealer will tell you is vorth $4, is GIVEN to every yearly subscriber to the Saturday Evening Mail. And tlio Mall costB only $2 a year.

Now is the Time!

The long winter evenings are at hand, and the people want a good newspaper to read. The Saturday Evening Mail takes

How Chromos are Made. How are chromos made? This question Is frequently asked.

Chromos are produced by lithography, a process invented by AiOIS

8KNKKELDE1I, OK MUK1CH,

toward tbe oud of the last century. Litho graphy Is the art of printing from stone The most obvious difference between lithography and other modes of printing Hot in the fact that it employs a perfectly smooth surfaoe, while wood-cut and type printing is done from lines raised above the surtace steel engraving, on the contrary, from llucs sunk Into the surface. The possibility of printing a design from a smooth surface, which at first sight would appear lmpossl ble, Is obtained by treating the stone (ape' culiar carbonate of lime) with various chemical agents, which tend to make those parts of the stone bearing the design susceptible to printer's ink, while the parts bearing no design will rcgect it.

CHKOXO-X.ITUOOKAPKV

Is simply the art of printing from stone In colors. But still the art Is not simple. To reproduce a good painting is a work entail lng no small amount of labor, skill and eot lay for the colon cannot be printed all at onoe, but most be laid on one by one, now overlaying and mixing with each other, now heightening each other by contrast and in tbe end all combining to form on« grand and harmonious whole. When consider that the best of these publication most pass through the press twenty, tlilrtj or

EVEX FOBTY TIMER,

each impression adding anew color, print ed from a separate stone, especially drawn by the artist for the purpose, and tbat it tabes from two to twelve months of unremitting labor to bring out a first edition, we shall, perhaps, be willing to allow that the art Is not *o simple after all. From a philosophical point of view, tbe great value ot ehromo-litbography Is to be found In the fact that It cheapens good art. It has been oalledtbe "OKKOCHACY OF A*T,H and justly so. In these days of high price* of paintings it Is a comfort for tbe well-ed-ucated, but dander of purse, to he able to decorate their walls with such close snd oonscieotious reproductions. Badly executed print *, gnadily colored by hand, which formerly patued the sight at every turn, have almost been driven out of existence by chromo-llthograpby and white the leading newspapers were formerly content wKH offering to their subscribers tbe cbeapes engravings n. market afforded, they ncrs Vie with ea her to supply good copit**o' good paintings, a fast which the cbrom* alone 1ms enabled then to accomplish, is by this invention that wears permitted to enrt
