For you own

It is not because the world's perplexed meaning Grows more clear, ^nri the parapets of heaven, with angels leanlug,

Seem more near,

And nature sings of praise with all her voices Since yours spoke, Bince within my silent heart, that now rejoices,

Love awoke.

Nay, not even because your hand holds heart and life At your will, Soothing, hushing all its discord, making strife

Calin and still,

More divine

That it leads our hearts to rest at last in heaven Par above you Do I take you as a gift that God has given—

And I love you I

A TRAGEDY.

icon tine was the only child of Mme. de fcjeaillas,ft lady of fashion and one of the leaders of the baau monde of Paris.

Leontine was upon the eve of what was txmsixiered, a most brilliant marriage, but, although the event was near at hand, she seemed oppressed by sadnesa For some time the young girl had refused to consent to the marriage, but at length, to the surprise of all, accorded a voluntary yielding to the wish of her family. "Are you happy, my childP" inquired tier mother. "As happy as I can be," was the sad retpiy-

The Baron de Neuilles, anxious respecting his daughtar, questioned his wife frequently. "I am pleased that Leontine has acceded to my wish," he said, but fear that she entertained a prior attachment for Maurice .Dorval.1' "You are right," replied Mme. de IJeuilles. "Bhe has been attached to Maurice, but she has reason to believe him false and so consents to Wed another.'' "Has she the proof that he is false?" "Undoubtedly, and a love once trifled \yith is destroyed." "You may bo right," added the baron, *'but I fear that Leontine is romantio and ehe will learn when too late that life is earnest."

The morning fixed for the marriage arrived and Henri do Tremont was united to Leontine de Neuilles in the chapel of 6b. Cloud.

The last eight days of her gMhood life had been passed by Leontine in a sort of stupor. She seemed dead to all that surrounded her. Each day her mother had assisted at her toilot, had embraced her tenderly, and yet she did not seem to realize the fact that additional and devoted attention was accorded her.

Arrayed in her white robos and shielded by her veil, Leontine was driven to church and led to the altar without one thought of the terrible sacrLQoe she was making— the sacrifice of heart, soul and pride.

Mme. de Neuilles, seeing Leontine's unnatural condition and deathlike composure, besought her to weigh well the step she proposed. "If this marriage is displeasing to you," sho 6aid, "there is yot time to avert the evil." "You aro mistaken," responded Leontino. "This marriage must tako place. It is inevitable."

Tho marriago was celebrated wfth much pomp. The court attended the ceremony, and great was the display of grandeur.

Tho newly married couplo passod tho day at the chateau, whero the gavety was brilliant in tho oxtremo. Leontine had never looked more lovely. Not a ray of color tinged the marble pallor of her fair oheoks, and in the dreamy depths of her «ark, lustrous eyes there was deep meaning. "What ails you, Leontine?" questioned the Princess de Pays in a whisper. "Nothing." "Why, then, do you look so sad?" "It is the offect of getting married," replied the Countess de Vise, who had overboard her words.

At 1 o'clock the Baroness de Neuillos led her daughter to tho room sho had always ocoupled. Nothing had been changed except the bedstead. Tho littlo snow whito bed, which had formerly invited rest, was one, and in its place stood ono of regal Appearance, snrrounded by rich curtains.

Here tho baroness embraced her dauglitor and retired. "Try to be happy, my child," she said, "and remembor you aro now married." "Not for long," murmured Leontine When the baroness closed tho door. "Not for long. I was asked by the priest if I would be his wife. My Hps, but not my heart, murmurod yos. In the silence of my heart I hate him—hato him and think only of Maurice—Maurico, my only love!"

As Leontine ceasod speaking she examined tho vial hidden in tho folds of hor handkorchiof. "I have drunk it all."

As 6he oeased speaking sho arose and iolded her hands devoutly before tho ttruoillx. "Let it come quickly," she murmured.

In tho large mirror that hung opposite Bhe contemplated her changing features. As she did so the mirror suddenly turned upon its hinges, and another chanabei stood revealed! Scarcely had she realized this fuct when, to her surprise, a man, beautiful as tho archangol of Eden, stood upon the threshold. "I am hero," said tho stranger.

At first Leontino deemed herself either tho victim of some supernatural manifestation or thought the poison had rendered lier delirious, bat in an instant she recognized Maurice. "Is it you," she murmured, "and are you dying also?" "Dying!" ho exclaimed, seizing he? hand. "Why, what do you moan?" "That I have lost fill desire to live." "Late as it is," he continued, "I must havo some explanation from yoa beforo you becomo that may'« wife." "What explanation do you require?" "You were mistaken and wore deceived. Tho man you married forged the letters that calumniated me. This chateau was once my father's. I know of tho secret door and came to yon." "But I am dying, Maurico, dying.**

With a cry he raised her gontly and carried her into tho adjoining chain hor, and having her upon tho bed he quickly turned the mirror. "Speak, Leontino, speak to me," he •ried.

Sho did not reply her lips were colorless. "A physician!" he exclaimed. "If I can but procure a physician, it may not yet be -too late.'' "No," responded his companion. "Listen to mo. llather than belong to another, Maurice, rather than becomo the wife of any man but you, I have taken poison. But even tho pain of dying I hail with Joy, for in your arms I will brcatho my last. Press your lips to mino and let me feel your breath upon my cheek." "Oh, Leontine," murmured Dorval, as

friR« after Iclss upon ner cola Hps. "Gh, what have yoa done? Sorely this cannot bedeatji." "It is death, and I rejoice in my escape. I have, In inviting this fate, dotie my duty. Forgive me for suspecting yoa. Adiea, my love."

The words were scarcely audible, and Maurioe bowed his head to catch the sound. As Leontine ceased speaking she trembled violently. A sigh parted her lips. "Maurice," she whispered faintly, and in an Instant more hor spirit had fled. For a few moments Rorval remained in silence beside the dead woman he had so fondly loved. It seemed to the man as though the world itself was passing away then, real' Izing that the still form no longer con1 tained the soul, despair seized upon him, and ha rushed forward and drew Leontine to bin fcreast convulsively. The stillness of the room was broken by the clock striking the hour of midnight. As the last stroke vibrated upon the air the noise of steps was heard in the oorridor, and in a moment more the door of the chamber opened, and De Tremont entered. "Leontine," he said, "where are you?" "Here," exclaimed a strange-voice. The tone was sepulohral. De Tremont shuddered and turned toward the spot whence it came.

Once more the mirror had turned, and before him he saw another room brilliantly lighted and upon the bed the pale, still form of a woman. Beside the couch stood Maurice, as pale almost as the dead girl His dark eyes were fixed upon De Tremont, and in either hand he held a pistol.

De Tremont looked at the scene before him, but could not oomprehend the meaning. "What does this mean?" be inquired, "Retribution," responded Dorval. "I do not understand you." "Then I will explain. Leontine, whom you married, now lies dead before you. We meet in the saored presence, and one of us must join her."

Tremont did not speak. "Your sin has found you out," continued Dorval. "You deceived tho woman I loved, and who loved me. I learned tho truth too late to save her, but not too late to avenge the wrong done to both. We will fight without witnesses and here in the presence of the woman you have tortured. Of theso pistols but one is loaded." Maurice advanced. As he did so De Tremont retreated until his back touched the wall. "Death is in one of these weapons I know not which," said Dorval. "Choose."

De Tremont grew calm and quickly turned his eyes toward the door, but his companion intercepted the glance. "Choose, or I will kill you I"

For an instant De Tremont looked sorutinizingly at the pistols, but the oold iron revealed nothing, and, yielding to chance, ho grasped the one nearest him.

The two adversaries stood confronting each other. The sceno was solemn. For an instant not a sound broke the stillness of the room.

Not ono regret for his misdeeds troubled the mind of Do Tremont. His every thought was centered in the desire to kill his enemy. "If you have aught to prepare before dying," he said, turning to Dorval, "do so quiokly, for you, and not I, will fall." "Perhaps," responded Maurice.

They approached and placed the muzzles of their pistols each above the heart of the other, and at tho same instant fired. The household was aroused by the sound of the report. The Baroness de Neuilles rushed to tho ohainber of her daughter. On entering the room sho saw Maurice Dorval bending otttr the dead body of the Baron do Tremonl.—Exchange.

Beady Next Time.

There seems to be an occasional slight misunderstanding as to tho nature of tho aurora. Certain people havo indeed regarded it as a fixed appearance, as regular in its course as the sun and moon. When a beautiful display took place, not long since, a certain lady was asked next morning if she had seen it. "No," said she in an aggrieved toil}. "Did you?" "Oh, yes! We watched it for a long timo." "And I saw you that very afternoon, and you didn't toll me there was going to bo ono!"

Of a moro cheerful and contented naturo was anothor lady who was in Paris during a fine appearanoe of those "northern lights." "Did you see the aurora last night?" asked a friend. "No I didn't know thero was one." "Oh, yes! It was porfectly beautiful. You ought to have been out watching it, as we were." "Well, I'm sorry," quoth she, "but nevermind. I'll see it tonight!"—Youth's Companion.

A Turkish Policeman at Prayers. Whon the muezzin called from theminatet and the faithful laid down their work and moved into tho mosque to pray, Mahmoud went too. After tho first day he discarded his uniform, all but his fez, for a suit of light gray, exchanging his short sword for a stout stick. This stick Casimir hold as his badge of ofiftoo while Mahmoud prayed.

I followed him once into tho mosque of Ahmed and watched him as ho knelt, barefoot, his face to tho stono wall, his lips moving in prayer, his eyes on Mccca, his forehoad touching the mats. This bloodthirsty savage! This barbaric Turk whom wo would teach morals and manners! I can imagine how hoarse a muezzin's throat would become calling tho Broadway squad to prayer, if his duty compelled him to continue calling until our police should fall upon thuir knees in tho nearest church. —F. Hopkinson Smith in Century.

The Kcal Reason.

Conversation was overheard between a 6orvaut and a messenger boy who was delivering a messago: "Say, ain't you going to give rue something for mo birthday?" "Wo haven't got anythingfer you." "Why, I thought you had money to burn/' "Wo have, only the people in the house don't like the smoke."—New York Journal.

UP!

Whero lies our lady, beauty supernal? Sleeps sho forever in forest enchanted, Lulled by tho magic of Merlin, tho mighty, Lest at hor coming, the hosts of Philistia, Stripped of disguises, flee from hor presence Into the chao3 whence they ascended?

Once were her footsteps light on the hill slopes. Helicon knew her, and steepy Parnassus Even Olympns, home of immortals! Even the shepherds piping in Arcady, Saw her by glimpses, veiled in her splendor, Known for a goddess as she departed.

Up! To her rescue! Knights of Bohemia! Shake out her standard, lift up your voices, Lustily shouting unto Philistia: "Yield us our lady! Long hath sho lingered Low in the loathy dungeons abhorred!" Dull is Philistia! Dull and defiant. Hear her make ans\vi: "How should a handful, Young, empty pocketed, roving free lances. Vagabond troubadours, s«ribblers of sonnets, Starving impressionist ?, fail to assail me?

I am Philistia!

"Mino is the kingdom of tangible riches 1 Beauty I've banished beauty I know not. Broadly I build on tho basis of things!" Conch all your lances, knights of Bohemia 1 Sharp be your spurring, and swift be your gallop. Strike at Philistia"! Rescue, not ransom! Strike for the lady, beauty, our queen! —Arthur Chamberlain in New Bohemian.

Vitally Interested in Discovery,

A

Brief Account of It.'

A man or woman with perfect digestion, the result of a healthy stomach, has no need of a nerve tonic to Dring sleep, nor sarsaparillas to purify their blood, nor cod liver ojl and pre-digested foods to make them fat. Why? Because a sound stomach perfectly digests the food, making pure, rich blood, steady nerves, sound sleep and all the healthy flexh a person needs to carry.

Dr. Bostwick recently stated that anyone out of health, nervous, sleepless, run down in flesh, with poor appetite, not knowin just what was the matter of them, shouli look to their digestion, to the stomach, and there would find the secret of the whole trouble. He says nine out of ten will have no nervous troubles, no impure blood, no weakness anywhere when the digestive organs do their work, properly. To cure indigestion and dyspepsia he never advises "sarsaparillas," "stomach bitters," "predigested food" or any other secret patent medicine. He says the best thing, the safest and surest cure is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they are composed of vegetable essences, fruit salts, pure pepsin and bismuth and will cure dyspepsia in every case if taken persistently and regularly. Borne of the cures made by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are little short of miraculous.

Mrs. Charlotte Lane, of Ransonville, N. Y., writes: I have taken only one50-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and am almost astonished at results, they have benefited me so greatly. I have always understood that dyspepsia was incurable, but now kiiow it can be cured, for I am fully satisfied with what they have done for me. I can eat and enjoy my meals a great deal better and feel better in every way and have only used one package.

Mr. J. O. Wondly, of Peoria, Ills., writes: I was unable to eat anything but the plainest food, and even that often distressed me, but since using one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets I can eat anything and everything I want.

Mrs. Samuel Kepple.of Girty,Pa.,writes: I have been entirety relieved of my stomach troubles by your Tablets. I suffered three years with sour stomach and gas at night. 1 am thankful for them.

Mrs. A. E. Bowen, Barnard, Vt., writes: I think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the best thing for dyspepsia I ever took. I will recommend them to anyone troubled as bad as I was.

Although a new remedy, yet its remarkable success in all kinds of stomach troubles has practically settled the question that it is tlie best and safest remedy that can be used for weak or disordered digestion.

It is prepared by tho Stuart Chemical Co., Marshall. Mich., and for sale by druggists everywhere at 50 cts. per package, thus placing it within the reach of everyone wishing to give a remedy so highly commended a fair trial. -ffzrsrii

THE BILL£ FOR STATEHOOD.

A Vigorous Discussion of Them Bnt No Vote Taken. Washington, April 2.—Today's meeting oif the house committee on territories was devoted to discussion of the Arizona and New Mexico statehood bills, but the committee failed to arrive at a vote stage. Delegates M'urphy and Catron asserted that the opponents of statehood ra the committee were doing the talking merely as a filibustering

•move,-rand,

consequently,* the meeting

was a rather warm one. The two delegates exerted their endeavors to induce tire committee to vote and refused to be drawn into the debate, although the opponents of statehood -asiked them manyquestions. To prevent the consumption of time, the delegates declined to answer most of the questions, taking the ground that the matter had been thoroughly discussed already. The only test vote was that upon the consideration of the bills, and it was carried, 6 to 5. Those voting for consideration were: Perkins of Iowa, Lefever of New "Yiork, AVery of Michigan, Harris of Oh'io, Turner Cf Virginia, Cooper of Texas. Against consideration: Knox of Massachusetts, Ta/ft of Ohio, L/ow of Now York, Harrison of Alabama, Owens of Kentucky.

Mr. Taft, during the d'isoussion, declared that congress could not blind its eyes to the fact that the admission of the two territories, would add four votes for free silver to the senate. He argued that it was not fair that the existing status of the Union should be changed in the midst of a great controversy like the financial question that .the question should be settled1 by the Union as it now stands, and -that "sound money" men should not be handicapped by new silver states. He tiiso charged thait 25 per cent of the inhabitants of Arizona and 33 per cent of 'New Mexico are illiterate.

Mr. Owens of Kentucky said that territories whose area was greater than that of New England a.nd the population less than that required for a congressional district were unfit for statehood. He also attacked the system of representation proposed for the constitutional convention of Arizona, as a partisan one, devised to further Republican interests. Mr. Avery held that the only questions to be considered were the qualifications of

Not in San Erancisco.

Omaih'a, April 2.—Telegrams have been received here that Jules Festner of Omaha is under arrest at San Francisco on suspicion of the "Jack, the Strangler."

Festner Is well known here, where his family is wealthy He has been unbalanced for some time. (Recently it was determined to place him in the care of a friend in Sacramento, who hoped to cure him by keeping him on a ranch Tt appears that Festner never reached the friend's abode, but went to San Francisco. Accounts of the operations tf the "IStrangler" are sufficient to show the authorities of San Francisco that Festner is not the man, for during the time of that murderer's operations he was in Omaha.

fev What is

Da. G. C. OSGOOD, I/)well, Mass.

Castoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not far distant when mothers 'will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria instead of the various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing'syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves."
