smouldered dimly in a rusty grate littorod with a«"hes and scraps or papor, and a chill river breezo blew in at the open window and rustled the leaves ol a melancholy elm tree which grew in tho court without. The tablo, too, was littered with a lot of untidy-looking manuscripts and Hinall piles of cigar and tho hard little hoareehair sofa boro the simple decoration of a beuroom pillow, n»t entirely without hole», and bearing the recent impress of a head. Indeed the occupant of the room, white and thin from recent illness, and loaning in a rusty arui-chair,, more fit to have his head on the same oillow than anvwhere else.

The handsome faoo with the severe Greek outline, about which Be'gravian damsels used to rave, look sadly worn and haggard now great purple rings were round the blue eyes, and two deep furrows on the broad, palo forehead, bearing witness to the treble curse of sickness, dissipation, and trouble. The tail soldierly figure was bent woarily forward, anil though Percy's hands and linen were still spotlessly niee and clean, his coat looked worn and shabby, and the bright auburn curls Btraggled over his forehead in a very different fashion from tbeir old "Western!" regularity. He had a pen in his hand, but lie was not writing—only gazing with bitter, sorrowful earnestness at the little, neat-lv-written note received on the previous cl'l

I wondor what she wanted, ho thought. "To have mo back on the list of her hopeless suitors, or to remonstrate with me on my 'tfodless life, like poor Sir Thomas? Hardly that, I should say. seeing that sho drove me to it. Ami what can she be doing up in town now7 Heigh ho! what does it matter to me? Fair and false—fair and false—all women are the same."

A low knock at the door disturbed him from his reverie. "Come in, he said, without looking up, and then wheeled round in his chair, and sprang to his feet, far, light as the footfajl was he knew that thonilken rustle he heard novcr heralded the approach of the landlady or tho "slavery." He stood and stared with a half angry expectation of —he knew not what. No other woman hud tho entree of this little literary den in the city. lie ion Stuart was standing in the doorway For one moment she hung buck, like some shy, beautiful goddess from another world and then, as her eyes took in Percy's haggard, altered appearance, tho stern contraction of his brow and lips, with his miserable surroundings, she came swiftly forward with outstretched hands and a world of loving, sorrowful entreaty in tno wet violet eyes.

Percy,won't you forgive mo? I was vorv wrong but I loved you all the tim*e i_» And there she breko down uiterly and entirely for Percy had taken her in his arms, and held her thoro as tightly as though nothing in lifer death should ever separate them again.

When they both went down together to poor Captain Stuart, kicking his heels for "an unconscionable timo," as he afterward* defined it, in tho landlady's dingy parlor, the two men shook hands long and fervently, and Percy said, in his old, imperious voice

Stuart, how could you bring your sister to a'place like this?" "Couldn't help it, my dear fellow,' said Harry—"she would come. I told her that it was frightfully improper, and that none of the Mrs. Grundy's would over speak to her again."

As if 1 could not have come to

hcr

So I said, but it soemsvou wouldn t. Yet more, Innox," in a graver tone "I would not have let hor come, had I not first ascertained that she could come with safetv."

In other words, that the devil wasn't quite as black as he was painted. Ii'm —m! For all that, I can hardly forgive you for bringing the angel-girl to a hole like this."

Ii It has come to that, you had better take the care of hor off my hands," said Harry, laughing and Percy, pressing tho soft little hand ho held, answered forvently

Just what I mean to do. with Heaven's blessing and your good will. But I could never make myself worthy of her it I wore to try forover."

Percy is a steady and a risdng man now and ho and Helen have three homo*—Stuart's Keen, Riversc«urt, Sir Thomas's placo in Lincolnshire, and a certain bijou cottage in Bavswater. Mrs. Duncan says that sho doesn't know where they are happiest, or which of the two old gentlemen make most of the young couple.

TO WHOM SHE SAYS SO. [Exchange.] A woman never quite forgets the man who has once loved her. She may not have loved him she may, indeed, navo

ivon him a "no" instead of tho "yes" hopes for but the remembrance that ho desired a "yes," always softens her thoughts of him, and would mal^e him, were lie reminded of it, a friend forever. There may b® girls who make a jest of discarded, suitors but they are generally very young, and the wooing has been something that did not betoken much depth of tenderness, Tno re are, mercenary offers, too. that only awaken scorn and hate in tno woman wooed for money aud not for herself but really to have touched a man's heart is something not to be forgotten while sho Uvea.

Always she remembers how his eyes looked into hers how, perhaps, he touched her hand with his, and how her heart ached when he turned away without that which sho could not give him.

She loves some one else. Some other man has all the truth of her soul—always has, and always will have—but she can uot forget tho one who turned from her and went his way, and came no more. She Is glad when she hoars of his suoocwa, grieved when she knows that he has suffered and when some day she hears that he is married—she who has herself been married Ibr long years, perhaps—she who, at all events, would never have married him—is she glad then? I do not know. A woman's heart is a very strange thing. I don't believe she knows herself. Olad? Oh, vt»—and is his wife pretty and nice? And then she says to herself that "he has quite fbivotten," and "that, of course, is beet, and cries a little.

DISAPPOINTMENT IN LO V& A Washington doctor says: "I have known of hundreds of cases of typhoid fever being brought on by mental trouble occasioned bv an unfortunate love affair. You take a man of quiet, domestic tastes and let him oneo beco.ne wrafT^ "P the society of a loving won =n. Then, after this society has becoiuo to him a second nature,'let it be suddenly taken awav from him under eirouinstances that cloud his mind with cli.i :rin as well as sorrow, and vou have a of madness to deal with beyond the power of physicians. Medicines are of no avail to him."

A FACT is jvorth a thousand statements.

FLORIDA'S WEIRDEST MYSTERY.

The Qftambcr of Horror* in Old Fort Marion,

A St. Augustine, Fla., letter to the Baltimore Sun of the 26th inat., says: Tho old fort, whioh is situated to the north and east of this city, was begun iu liMO. and is the oldest fortification on tho Westorn continent. The original name was "San Juan de Pinos," and afterwards

,4San

Maroo," bnt it is kuown

by the more modern and less appropriate title of Fort Marion. Amerioans have no sentiment. If they possessed Rome they might oall It Shoddy Town, and St. Peter's, Liberty Hall. The fort Is built of the ooquina rock (a shell formation), after tho plan of an old castle of the mlddlo ages, with a broad moat, a drawbridge, a portcullis, and all those appliances of an old castle with which the readers of Sir Walter Scott novels and Mrs.Radcllflb'B romances are familiar.

It was hero, during theSominole war, that Osceola and Wild Cat were Imprisoned. Every schoolboy knows the history of these two noble (sic) red men how Osceola defeated, destroyed and deceived the palo faces, and how he was at last captured only by stratagem. How Wild Cat complained that the dampness of his dungeon was affecting his health, and how on being removed to an upper coll, with a window in it, he starved himself till his body would pass through the iron bars of the narrow window, aud how when the sentinel, who had paced the whole night before the door of his cell, was about to open the door, Osceola appeared at the grating of his cell, and with a smirk of delight exclaimed, "Wile Catigeno."

But to the mystery, which I leave to each one to solve for themselves, and the quotation to which I have referred:

In 1836 tho terra plain of the northeast bastion caved in, exposing a deep, dismal dungeon. Impelled by curiosity, the United States military engineer, having charge of tho repairs of the fort and sea-wall, descended into this dungeon when, to his surpriso, ho discovered the skeleton of a human being manacled to the wall. Ho also discovered a strong wall still further to the northeast.

But what particularly excited his curiosity was tho discovery of a broad stone, differing greatly to dimensions and appearance from those of which the wall was built. He noticed moreover that the cement wliieh held this stone on its placo differed in composition from that which held together the stones of the other parts of the walll, and appeared to be more recent. VVhereupon he ordered masons to explore the mystery, by removing the stone, when the present dark, dismal, fearful dungeon was disclosed. But, oh, horror of horrors! what else did he discover?

Two iron cages suspended from hasps in the wall of the dungeon. One had partially fallen down from rust and decay, and human bones lay scattered beneath it on the floor of the dungeon. The other remained in its position, holding a bundle of human bones. The latter may now be seen in tho Smithsonian Institute at Washington. The broken cage, with all the bones, except those which he held in his hand, were buried in tho sand-mound to tho north of the fort. I recognize these as portions of tho tibia and Iibula (or leg oones) of a female."

ANDY WOULDN'T PARDON HIM. [Courier Journal.] While he was President a pardon case was brought to him by an East Tennessee lawver, liis neighbor and friend The case was one of unusual hardship, involving the remission of a wrongful fine. The lawyer had got it through the Department of Justice, and carried it direct to the President, in order to secure bis client against imposition and extortion, as the document should be returned through its circumlocuitous official chaHnels. Johnson had the pen in his hand and was about ready to sign. "Bob," says he, "nobody is goinc to make anything out of tbis, is there? "Not a eent, except piy fee of two hun dred dollars." Johnson immediately tore up the pardon and threw it in his waste basket. "By O—d," says ho "if your man's able to fee a lawyer, he's able to pay his fine to the Government."

YEARN ofresearch and watchfulness in testing tho action of different herbs and various chemicals iu the cure of Coughs, Colds and tho various complications accompanying, enabled Dr. Hedges A O., to produce their renowned PULMONIC LIFK BALSAM. So wonderful have been the oures that it has produced, that where one year ago diuggists bought three doxen now are buying by tho gross. As a cure for Coughs and Colds it is "par excellence." Buy one bottle (only 50 cents) and bo convinced that the proprietors of this preparation are not trying to humbug the pwple. Call on your druggist and get one of thoir Receipt and Reference Rooks. A full treatise of the various diseases of tho lungs are given.

Wo are constantly receiving letters praising Hedges- Champion Baking Powder: W. N. HEDGES tk Co.,

Gentlemen—A month or so ago I was in Springfield visiting a friend, and noticing the wocderful success she had in baking, led me to inquire into her mode of baking. Sho seemed to think one reason she suooeeded so well was because she used your Champion Baking Powder, and in addition to this, she lauded it so highly that since I came home I have been trying to persuade one of oar grocery men to sand and get some, bat as yet have not succeeded. Please send one pound to my address, and If you have any Receipt Books oblige me of tl

me by

enclosing one of them as I want to follow your directions closely when baking. Respectfully,"
