"We belong, in truth, to a mighty and most splandid procession, building cities «nd founding empires on the way, but remaining forever the same Joyful and unwearied pilgrims toward that unknown end wnich we believe to be the perfection of manhood and womanhood. Time for tears, indeed, we have, and inextinguishable pity for the weak and the waste of human kind." "I do not observe," remarked Mrs. Christian, "that this tutor has an inextinguishable desire to help the weak and the waste, to wipe his eyes and set to work for them. I am tired of this eloquent bewailing. I want something done." "Less talk and more cider," suggested her brother. "Do not read any more yon are getting hoarse." "And also irritated," she admitted, and, rising, put aside her book, then went to the Invalid, laid a sofa quilt •cross bis feet, and lightly kissed bis forehead. "While I am visiting you, Cyril," she said. "I want to be doing aometbing besides living in this great house and being waited upon like a princess." ''Pining for pauper What branch of beneficence do yuu especially long for now V' "Well, I know you will laugh—to-dsy as I came through the avenue there walked before me two mill girls.

I have thought of them and their associates ever since it is all they can do to earn their clothes, without trying to make or mend them—they scarcely know bo.w to do either. At first I thought I should like to visit them and do their weekly mending, but that would be false kindness far better lead thftm to form habits of neatness. Did you ever bear of a meading school?"

The next day an advertisement appeared in a dally newspaper worded •thus

WANTED—One hundred worklngglrls to form a mending school. No fee repaired, ibuteach pupil is requested (to.bring two cents AN

a nudeim for a fund witth whioh to pur •Chase thread and needles. The name of the kuuii Sallowed, and the evening on whieh at would be qpened.

It was a raw and chilly night when Mrs, Christian first entered the ihall, which wasBtesm heated andgas-llgbted, and though unpretending in other reaper. t«, really looked cheerful *nd pleasant. At one end was a small platform whioh held a cabinet organ, used by societies which frequented tfceplaoe. Mrs 'hrlstian saw with pleasure that it was unlocked, and then she spied *n anteroom which she decided would do excellently to deposit outer garments in, and thereupon bung her own bonnet and shawl upon some hook*, of which there was an abundant R-ipply. She had ecascely 4one so wheu footsteps sounded on the stairs leading to the hall, and she walked toward them to receive the newcomers. She could not be otherwise than handeome and stately, for so had nature endowed her but shear** also blessed with a winning smite and a •weet voice, and the group of five young women that appeared, huddling together la embarrassment, tla awed from a somewhat sulky and silent demeanor, and responds I with eooae degree of courtesy to ber greeting. They advanced inte tbe hall and seated tbero««4vee In bashful silence, and aaotiier group presented Iteelf, then agiri aktue, others in twos aad threes, Mrs, Christian all the time remaining near tbe door and receiving sis a hostess alt her guests, till aboat forty were prweot. when the influx suddently ceased, and but two or three earns later. When she turned awav from tbe door she footid ber visitors looking expectant, and she scarcely knew whs* step to take next, for though she bad some experience In mission schools and reformatories, here were neither children nor criminals. Love snd enthusiaoai taught her tact, and she went forward **into the midst of them," like a mltjr teacher of old, and •aid, in a voice dear and cordial, "I am very glad to see eech and every one of you, and I hope this Is tbe first of a se riea of meetings in this ball that will aid as to become better acquainted and perhaps teach as all something. I am going to open a mending school, and if yon will each bring your week's mending to this hell, I will show yon bow to do it in the best manner andjbeip you to do It. It will not cost yon anything except for needle and thread." "I know how to mend my do*ea well enough," growled a snlky young woman b*htnd her. "Then yoolsre Jusi tbe person I want," said Mrs. Christian, turning round promptly.

uFVr

If as many come aa I

nope, yon see I shall need help in teach* lag so, may I depend on you?" Tbe voting woman mattered an awkward "Maybe," aad two oi£bree giggled.

Did yer mane ye'd darn oor stockln's ier us?" said a slim and small person.

"Yes, if you cannot learn to do it yourself," said the lsdy. "Shame on yer, Katy O'ifail!" ^said several voices. I "Not at all," said Mrs. Christian. "I will show you, Katy, next Saturday night." "I'd be glad to get a dress cat," said another. "That may come later, but first we will do all tbe mending." "Saturday nights we goes to dances," volunteered a girl with banged hair and long brass ear-rings. "This bsll will be as warm and pleasant as the dance hall," answered Mrs. Christian, with a smile at tbe speaker. "I guess I ain't going to work all day and sew all night. I'd rather take a walk or to the theatre." "It will soon be too cold to take evening walks," said tbe undiscouraged teacher, "and you will find it agreeable to be in a warm room with pleasant company. If there is anybody here who needs a stitch taken to-night, it weuld make a good begining," she added. "I brought needles and thread with me."

A girl standing near had been swinging her bonnet by its ribbons while listening and gazing, and one bad broken, loose. This she held up, shyly urged thereto by her companions with visible

Eizzie!"and

hope you don't in­

tend to Invite the great «n washed here?" "No, Cvril," she answered, gently, not explaining, but keowing well that the c.ass she wished to reach would not visit her brother's elegant home as oblects of charity. "I have thought of jiirlng a room in one of the poorer quarters of the olty, and inviting as many as will spend the oveniog with me there. You do not need me, as you retire early, and I promise yon I will not be less faithful in ray services daytimes." "You're a good fetiow, Helen," said the young man, "and I suppose I ought not to object if you ache to tod doing everybody's business besides your own. But I'll 'see' your roow«nd go you one better. I own a building about a block from here, and in it 4s aeuoall (hall two •or three ulgbts in the week it ds to let for dances and one thing and another, but the other evenings yea may have it rent tree." "Oh, Cyril, how kdadl" she answered gratefully. "I will make you first as «istant of the darning olass as a reward," •and both laughed heart!ly-

usbes audible whispers, "You, and "Go ahead, why don't you aud a dozen crowded round while Mrs. Christian seated ber in a good light, selected thread and needle, and uttered aphorisms familiar to those whose youth blossomed in the days when hand-sew-ing was a necessity. "Thread tbe end that comes off tbe spool first. Thread has a right and wrong way, like everything else. A short thread and along needle. To put tbe needle in slowly, and draw it through quickly makes easy, durable and beautiful sewing."

A smothered laugh Was heard, and another girl showed a torn lining in ber sacque, and was promptly seized by MM.

Christian. The contagion spread a pinned ruffle was sewed up, a hole iff somebody's pocket mended, a ragged coff neatly repaired, and conversation spread among tbe workers, while laughter now and then indicated good bumof. Some, however, looked lonely and sat aloof, and it was to reach these that Mrs. Christian ssid, after a while, "I think a little music would be pleasant before we separate. I will sing to you first, and then perhaps you will sing to me." The wind blew and the frost stung 6ut of doors, but she struck a few cords on the organ and sang a song full of tbe hum of bees, tbe rustle of leaves and Uie twitter of birds. Then the plaintive notes of that song ol songs, "Sweet Home," trembled in the air, and after

and bring work next time, and went home herself with a light in her eyes and aglow in ber heart.

She perceived there would be room for more than one teacher, and invited several young ladies to Join her. One was Miss Freeman, the daaghter of »that potentate, tbe president of tbe college, for this was a university town as well as a mill town, and mighty were president and professors, and moch yevered by all save the youth in their charge. Mrs. Lloyd, sister to Miss Freeman, and ber friend, Miss Slowcoase, also volunteered with much zeal and ageuuine desire to be useful.

As tbe hour for tbe next session of the mending school approached, Mrs. Christian hoped "her girts," as she called them to herself, would choose to come to ber rather than walk tbe streets—the streets of a city full of perils and pitfalls, wilder than a forest, more dangerous than a quicksand. She need not have feared so warm a room, so hospitable a hostess, tempted them, and they came before the hour, trooping up the stairs, and Mrs. Christian saw with delig" that the mm saber of tbe first evemng was nearly doubled. She had previously instructed her aids, who bustled about, seating tbe guests and ascertaining what sortof work each had brought. Some bashfully drew from their pockets a single handkerchief needing ramming, or a solitary stocking with gaping holes. Others produced large bundles of hopeless-'looking garments that might have tarnished work for a docen. This evening a system was established, and classes were formed with anejpe to the degree of skill attained by each pupil, from those who could barely thread a needle—and these were not few among the mill girls, well as they knew how to guide a loom—to thoae who could sew eMditably, but lacked the courage to do *t in tneir own cheerless rooms. Miss {freeman proved herself a treasure. She neither condescended tto the human creatures about her nor held herself above tMr level, but aecognieed a common aieterhood, and WH everywhere in a miiMte and helping everybody. Mrs. Lloyd was muck like her, blithe and busy, with a contagious laugh. Miss Slowcome, with4»e best rtf motives, succeeded in arousing the anl-. moslty of some of the class. They resented her diamond ear-rings and printcnez her way of saying, "Wky, don't you know how to do that and "Oh/ that is not right at all," phrases which they caught up and repeated to -each other before her face aud in ber manner and when she heard herself spoken of as "SUffy Slowcome," tears of mortification sprang to ber epos, she sought M«. Christian, begging to be excused from further attendance, sod the msoding school knew her no more.

Tbe stocking menders were seated by themselves, and Mrs. Christian applied to ber aids to conduct the darninc, bat In vain. Their skillful fingers knew all stitches save that, and both ladies took their Arst lessons in tbe lost srtof darning stockings from Mrs.Christian in tbe mending school.

Tbe third evening showed no decrease of interest the fourth and fifth were still better attended, as tbe first comers spread the history of the movement, and it may as well be said here that although there were fluctuations in tbe degree of interest attending the meet'ngs during the winter, there were never fewer pupils than oa the first evening, and frequently tbe number was doubled.

Among the mill girls wss one who had learned dressmaking, and Mrs. Christian, who had a hand like Katy Scadder's, that "never saw tbe thing it could not do," inaugurated a dressmaking class. From the mending school sprang a cooking school, taught gratuitously by skilled instructors, and more than one mill girl exchanged the wh«r and rattle of machinery in the great factory for the song of a tea kettle in a quiet kitchen.

When tbe dark days of the strike came, new-comers found their way to the ball, and although Mrs. Christian had at first steadfastly eat ber friendly labor In the sehool. she holding that frequent and unwise gifts promoted pauperism and beggarr, she now found nerself gradually yielding her position for a time. helping to distribute needed articles among the destitute, aad baootning tbe almoner of others' bounty.

In the city found oat tbe quiet

work which wasgoing oa, and flocked in to ad vies, criticise and suggest some few to go to work aad hslp.

Bat the strike passed away, so did the abater, aad Mrs. Christian rstarned

with the spring to her own home in another city. The novel work which she had instituted did not die it lived and flourished, and many a home had its comfort enhanced and income increased by tbe skill acquired at Mrs. Christian's mending school.

A Castle Mystery.

Lamsrtine once said "Every family is a history in itself, and even a poem to those who know how to search its pages." The unwritten histories of German family traditions, and her folklore can be the best learned, and only well learned, by constant communication with Germans in all grades of society. An artist student onoe journeyed though Germany in search of subjects for his canvas. In the recesses of the mountains which have given to the Harz a mythology and tradition peculiarly its own he chanced upon a castle, isolated, and towering high up upon a mighty crag. Its approaches were overgrown with grsss. No signs of life were anywhere to be seen. Weary and footsore he sought refuge for the night, and knocked long and loud at tbe postern gate. A man in middle age answered the summons, and, upon learning the desire of the psinter, be kindly extended such hospitalities as he could. The natural beauty of tbe situation, the ro* mantio castle and the ohanglng effects of light and

Bhade

that played upon the

mountain side, charmed the artistic eve, and the stay of a night was prolongedlnto weeks. The picture grew under the touch of genius. The famtly consisted of a man, his wife, and three children. One day at dinner the artist incidentally made soose inquiries as to the history of the castle, who founded it, and t6 what knight then belonged. "One hundred and twenty years ago," said the Steward, "the Lord of the castle was wedded to a countess whose beauty was celebrated throughout the length and breadth of the land. The courtyard was filled with courtiors and tbe festivitleswere prolonged to a latd hour. The bride went to her room to change her apparel before setting out upon the accustomed journey. An hour or more having elapsed and no one having seen tbe mistress, a maid was sent to summon her, as the husband grew impatient. Frequent knocks upon the door failed to elicit any response, so it was forced open. The room was empty and there was no evidence of any chance of toilet or of struggle. All through the alght, and for many weeks after, diligent search was made, but nothing was ever discovered, not a sign or a trace. The Knight grew old and finally died. In his will be left bis entire fortune, his castle and his eststes, to whomsoever should find sny trace of the lost wile. The fortune has now accumulated to an immense amount. My ancestry bave always held the position of steward, and so by right it descended to me."

Among the children of tbe 'Steward was one, a boy, who was alway accom-

Ktie

nied by a large cat. One day said tbe chap to his father: "Ok, lather, I have found such a nice place to hide, where tbe boys can't find me, wfeen we play hide and seek." "Wh«reiefc, my son "Ob, in the chapel bdbkid the hangings of the alter," but the father thought no more of it.

Not long thereafter tbe «bild disappeared, and every endeavor *to 'find him failed. Tbe chapel was seaecbed, but^ie was not there. One day tbe .oat appeared at tbe bouse, and tied around its neck wss thecravat of tbe missing cbild. The cat was fed and it then disappeared so rapidly that no one was able to follow. Tbe second day it came again, and this time with a handkerchief around its neck. A mountaineer followed closely behind It, while it crawled up a steep and seemingly insccessibleerag and tben disappeared. The hunter found at last a small hole on tbe other -aide of tbe crag, and putting his moath close to it oallea in aloud voice. A feeble response came back. Hopes were quMcVy brought snd the man was lowered and the boy rescued from what tbe huoter declared was a coal-black cavern.

The excitement and tbe strain threw the child into a violent feoer. During 'his ravings be frequently alluded to a skeleton all dressed in wbite«ilk, sitting •dpon a stone with chains around ber. When recovery was fully -established, *he boy told the following story:: Durtag a game of hide and seek be went to •hisaccustomedbidingplaee behind the drapery of the altar. For tbe first time heaaw what be supposed to b* a yellow button, *»d, stooping down, tried to raise it. Suddenly he felt hisaself falllag, falling, until all conedousness left •him. He was called back to Kte by feeling'the caressing his face and lapping o,p the blood from his many svonnds. Right in front o! him sat a skeleton all olad in white, and around ber were mmof chains. A ray of light seemed to oome 'from a distance, and to this be orawled. Tbe cat found her way to tbe top, aad was thus tbe means of seeming bbn. Tbe neighbors went to tbe chapel aad there found everything as described by tbe«hild. The yellow battoo upon belog psessed threw wide open tbe floor by tbe attar aad revealed a dark stoyss. Ibis wasoxplored with lights, and there sat tbe skeleton, surrounded with«bains •od bones and skulls. Tbe long-tost Coantess was found, and bv the teams of the will the boy became tbe heir. It seems that In former days this which yetatands, wasahidin a stronghold of robbers, and this eon trivaoce was a device for quietly getting rid of obnoxious persons. The Countess bad probably gone to the chapel to say a parting prayer, and, not knowing of tbe spring, had pressed it with her knee. In this terrible lonello« from starvation. nn

THE BEST MEDICINE.

Take the open air. The more yoa take the better. Follow nature's laws,

To the very letter. Let the doctors go, To tbe Bay of Biscay, Let alone the gin.

The brandy and the whisky.

Freely exercise, Keep your spirits cheerful. Let no dread of sickness

Make you ever fearful. Eat the simplest food, Drink the pure cold water Then you will be well,

Or, at least, you ought to.

Hearts and Homes.

"Well, Bill." "Why, Joe, bless my hfeart." The curtain had fallen on one of the acts of "The Merchants of Venice" at the Haverty theater. There was a movement of many dress suits to the foyer. Bill wore one of these suits. To look at him you would not suspect thst he was unaccustomed to the conventional attire. The clothes fitted him well enough, and to bis his credit he seemed st home in them until he met Joe. Joe had on tbe same overcoat in which he had slept on tbe mountains in the west. He had on an immaculate collar of the city cut and a flashy scarf, which was tied as rougbly as if it had been knotted by a whirlwind in the gorges. But it had a "glistner" in its folds that was pure and bright as the skies which were spread over the home of its honest owner. They met in this scene of fashion and splendor after ten years. "I wouldn't have knowd yon," said

"Don't put it that way, Joe. Why I'd a knowd you ef I had seed you in China. Why, Joe, you are jest the same Joe to me now as you wus when we wus whackin' together in the Pike Peak fever." "That's cause I ain't got on a spike coat," said Joe, "an' a four-story collar, an' a yvest coat with only one button. That's cause my har ain't been sandpapered, Bill, an' cause thsr ain't no white choker on my neck."

Bill pointed to a bright face in one of the boxes—to a fashion plate at whlob many an opera

glaBS

had been leveled

during tbe evening. "Her asked Joe.

"You bet. Finerth«n a merino. Eddycated till you'd think she war the head ov some school. Smarter'n greased lightnin', Joe, and a player on the pee?an from Playerville. She'd make you stan' on your head the fust big word sbe got off. Thar ain't nothin' too good for her, an' she gits a box whenever she comes to tbe theater. You'd ought to bear ber talk about this play. Why, she could go on that stage an' play it all by herself. Why, she knows who writ it an' wbar it was writ, an' who is play in' it. It beats me how she ever got it into ber head." "Your wife?" "Every bit ov her, sn' I got her on the squar. She knowd I was unlarnt an' like a bar. but she tuk me, an' we're llvln' In a house that's as big as some ov the taverns wbar we ust to wback it. You ought to see ber keep that house. Say, Joe, it beats me how one ov these city gals can take tbe kinks out ov fellers like you sn' me. Tbe fust time we come in here I let my boots hang on the rail but only onct. I war a ohawln' nigger beel tobaker the same nlgLt, but never chawed since. An' this spike coat you see—welL, the fust night they put me in it I war the uneasiest white man you ever see. But now I w'arit all the time—every day. Thar ain't nothin' too good fer me. Calls me her hubby. joe Say, Joe, I've been in love for nigb four years, an' its growtn' yit. An' 1 ain't a bit brave like 1 ust to be. Sometimes I go out nights in thris here city an' I git turned sround an7 I have to blre a police to show me the way back, an' when I hear the wawa on the lake breakin' on the pier otft thar it makes me shiver sll over. I'm jest as chicken-hearted as I can be. Why, you knowd me when I used to stand at tbe foot ov Pike Peak an' tell the snowstorm to crawl back in Its hole, sn' you kuow it Joe, that it crawled. You've knowd me when I tuk a mustang by the heels an' tamed him. None of that now. 'Taint that sbe is bees. I ain't the man to be pecked by any woman. But when a man like me gets a woman like her—why. man alive, that's when the lion lays riglht down an' takes comfort in lettin' tbe lamb run all over him. Come on an' FU show you*o ber." "No, Bill not to-night. Good-by, Bill. I ain't good ehougn for that not yit. This has kind o' broke me up. I know I'd put my foot in it if I was to meet ber, an' that would make you feel bad. I'll step oatside of the buildln' as you oome oat, and as you go by I'll jest let oae ov them Camancheyells, in your honor an* her'n, and tben I'm off. I'll go back to tbe old ranch wbar we ust to sot In the even in', when we'd worked all day in the mines. An' wbar you ust to say when you heered bbe winds playin' in the tree tops that tbey was somebody's voice that was caMin' you. I'm goin'back, Bill, to the vanch. It'll be awful lonesome oat thsr without you, but I'll sot down by tbe OM cabin door agin whar we ust to sot, when we was tired, and when tbe winds eit to daucin' In the trees in the evenin'fll jest know that she's talkin' to you, aa' that you're a happy man, an' that's all I want to know in this world, Bill, for I raised vou, boy, an' now that yoa'ra settled I'm willln' to go back wbar tbar ain't but one kind ov people, an* but one kind ov a life, an* only one time an' one place to die."

He never saw tbe other acts of that play. And when Bill went into tbe box his face was wet about tbe eyes, and his voice was not moch louder than a whiaP®R«

A BOY WITH A BULGE. "No, my son," he replied as be put on his hat, "you can't go to the circus." "But why, father." "Well, in the first place I can't fool awav my money on such things." "Yes, but I have enough ot my own." "And in tbe next place it is a rough crowd, the sentiment is unhealthy, and no respectable person can countenance such things." "But, fath .» "That'senough, sir! You can't go! I want you to enjoy yourself, but you must seek some more respectable amusement."

An hour later a curious thing happened in tbe circus tent. A boy climbed to the top flight of seats and sat down beside a man who had just finished a glass of lemonade and was lighting a cigar. He had his plug bat on fn9 back of his head, and seemed to be enjoying himself hugely. It was father and son. The father had gone straight to the grounds from dinner, and the boy had run away. They looked at each other for half a minute, and then the boy got in the first blow by whispering: "Say, dad, if you won't lick me I won't tell ma you was here t"

The father nodded his head to the agreement, and tbe great spectacular parade in tbe ring began.

Morphine and other opiates! "Had no effect! "After to months I was given up to die!!! "When my wife heard a neighbor tell what Hop Bitters had done for her, she at once got and

fave

me some. The first dose eased my rain and seemed togohuntiug through my system for tbe pain.

The second dose eased me so much that I slept two hour, something I had not done In two months. Before 1 had used five bottles, I was well and at work as hard as any man oould, for over three weeks but I worked too hard for my strength, and taking a hard cold, I was taken with the most acute and painful rheumatism all tnrough my system that ever was known. "I called the doctors again, and after several week they left me a cripple on crutches for life, as they said. I met a friend and told him my case, and he said Hop Bitters had cured him and would cure me. I poohed at him, but he was so earnest I was ilnduced to use them again.

Lessjthan four weeks I threw the crutches away and went to work lightly and kept on using the bitters for five week, until I became as well as any other man living, and have been so for *ix years since.

It also cured my wife, who had been sick for years and hits kept her and my children well and healthy with from two to three bottles per year. There is no need to be sick at all if these bitters are used.

"That poor invalid wife, Sister, Mother, "Or daughter!!! "Can be made the picture of health! gfc "With a few bottles of Hop Bitters! "Will you let them sufifer!!!

Prosecute the Swindlerslil '|l|? If wheu you call for Hap Bitters (see green cluster of Hops on the white label) the draggist hands out any stuff called C. D. Warner's German Hop Bitten or with other "Hop" name, refuse It and shun that druggist as you would a viper: and if he has taken ?our money for the stuff, indict him tor the iraud and sew him for damages for the swindle, and we will reward you liberally for the conviction.

"By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected Cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many a heavy doctors bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be grad- ss ually built Op until strong enough to resist every tendracy to disease. Hundreds or suptie meladlta are floating around us readyto attack wherever there Is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame."—[Civil Servlee Gazette. ..
