Many suffering people drag themselves about with failing strength, feeling that they are steadily sinking into the grave, when by using Parker's Tonio they would find a cure com mencing with the first dose, and vitality and strength surely coming back to them. , "I am 63 years old; have been sick nearly all my life, and ought to know something about medicine by this time. I have used t Parker's Tonio freely for more than a year, and consid er it the best remedy I have ever known. In fact, I now find no other medicine, necessary. For weakness, debility, rheumatism, and that distressing all-goneness and pain from which I suffered so long, it has no equal. I do not see how any one can afford to do without so valu able a medicine." Mrs. Hattik NV Graves, cor. East and Front streets. Providence, It. I.

While proud eyes flashed through bitter. n uuiiuiiK icnrs; - v - . But oh i I felt that fatal word bad broken The cord of love that bound our hearts for years. Thy tortured face, that long, wild look of sor row. Like some pale ghost, must haunt me while Hive; And yet, how bright, how full of joy the'mor row. Had 1 but breathed one simple word "For give!" I did not hear thy tender voice appealing, Nor marked thy anguish when-1 cried "De part 1" Too blind to see thy pitying glance, revealing The generous promptings of thy noble heart. How could I know that faithful heart was yearning. Though crushed and wounded to Its Inmost core. To take me back, like weary bird returning In fear and trembling when the storm is o'er. "Remember, love, that it may be forever; To see my face no more by night or day. Bo calm, rash heart, think well before we sever; Recall the angry word, and bid me stay." Dead silence fell; the song-birds hushed their singing. "Enough," I proudly -cried; "1 choose my fate." While ever through my maddened brain kept ringing The death-knejl of my love too late, too late! "Forgive, forgive!" I wailed, the wild tears streaming. As 'mid the moaning trees, I stood alone; "Love, let thy kisses wake me from my dream ing." Thy pleading voice, thy tortured face, was gone. That angry word, I may recall it never; For o'er thy narrow grave rank weeds have grown. "Remember, love, that it may be forever." Ah, words prophetic! Lave, had I but known. My locks are gray, my eyes are dim with by thee, no longer weeping, The face once loved fair: Beneath the daisies thou art calmly sleeping; There a lone woman often kneels in prayer. Ah ! sweetheart mine, thou art so lowly lying, Thou canst not hear the tearful voice above, That with the night wind evermore is sigh ing: "I spoke in anger! Oh, forgive me, love!" Chambers' Journal. A BROKEN HEART. I loved Dora Merton from the first. Not only for her pretty brown eyes, golden hair, and trim little figure, but for her kind heart and amiable disposition as well. You might look the world over from one end to the other and never find a girl- to compare with Dora, either in point of beauty or sweetness of dis position. Dora loved me too. She not only said so but her every action showed it; and everybody in the town said it was re markably fortunate being a poor young doctor to win the love of such a girl, who could have had her pick from the best in the land, as her father was the wealthiest man in all the country round. About this time Ralph Clayton, a wealthy merchant of high standing, met and lost his heart to Dora, and be came a constant visitor at her home. While I was assured of Dora's love and esteem I was positive that her father held quite a different opinion of me, and he soon made it evident that my attentions to his daughter were distaste ful to him. Clayton was a pompous man, some half-dozen years my senior, and on ac count of my inferior financial position in the world he always treated me with considerable condescension. One day as we returned together from a visit to the Merton mansion he said to me: "Conway, I think Dora Merton one of the nicest girls 1 ever met. She would make a model wife, and I am going to marry her. What do you think of that?" "Why,1' I replied, while the hot blood rushed "to my face, "I think she will never be your wife, because she loves and is engaged to me." 'O, that is nothing," he coolly an swered; "her father approves of me and it is very plain desires me for a son-in-law. Dora is a very obedient and duti ful girl, and I do not think the old man will have any trouble at all in gaining her consent to marry me." I had always disliked the man; now I fairly despised him, and it was with a mighty effort that I restrained myself from striking him. Dora had, always been in the habit of meeting me when I called under a spreading maple tree some distance from the house. The next day after my conversation with Clayton she met me at the usual place. I told her what Ralph Clayton had said to me. "O, Paul,'.' she exclaimed, '1 fervent ly pray that my father will not desire me to marry that man. For Paul. I do not love him I cannot love him; but if my father bids me marry him I dare not disobey. But let - e pray that he will not make any such request, for I love you, Paul only you! and I believe I should die if we were separated!" I returned to the village feeling every way but buoyant, and passed a restless, sleepless night A few days after that I received a note from old Mr. Merton, also one from Dora. The old man in a few words in formed me that his daughter was soon to marry Ralph Clayton, and bade me discontinue my attentions to her. Dora wrote me a tearful little note, returning the ring I had given her. and saying she loved only me, but duty and obedience to her father compelled her to renounce me and marry Mr. Clayton; that she thought it best never to see me again, and closed by beseeching me to forgive her. Neither of them stated when the mar riage was to take place, and I took no Particular pains to find out That night entered a train bound for a distant town, where I intended to locate and strive to forget the heartless girl, as I then thought her, who had treated me so cruelly. I did well in' my new. home, and, though the wound in my heart was past healing, it was not so sore as at first; time in a measure had deadened the pain. A year and more had gone by, and in all that time I had never had any tid ings from Dora. One night as I sat alone in my office wrapt in thoughts of the past, a boy entered and handed me a telegram. 1 lost no time in reading it, ana found it to be from old Mr. Merton, and contain ed these words: Dora is very ill and desires to see you. Come immediately." I did not stop to think over this strange message. I only knew my darl ing mine in spite of , the past was ill, probably dying, and wished to see me. I never once thought of her being an other's wife. I would go to her, of course. ' All the bitterness I had felt toward the poor little girl left me, and the love for her that I had partially smothered surged over and through me witfe re newed vigor. It was early morning when I started on my journey, and the darkness of nightwas settling over the world when I reached my destination. No one was at the station to meet me, and, without losing the time to hire a vehicle, I started out to walk to the Mer ton mansion across the fields. My way would take me by the old trysting-tree where Dora had met me so often in the happy days of the long ago. My mind was busy as I walked over the old familiar pathway. I thought of the girl now probably lying within the pale of death who had wandered over these very fields, clinging trustingly to my arm, and uttering vows of eternal love for me. I thought, too, of the man who had come between us with his ac cursed gold and parted us forever, well nigh wreckingmy life and breaking the heart of poor !l)ora. i I was now near the old tryst-tree, and in the fast gathering twilight I saw a sight that sent the blood rushing through my veins like a current of fire. Leaning against the trunk of the tree, clad in a dress of spotless white, I saw the outline of a fragile female form. It was Dora. There could be no doubt about that I knew the graceful figure too well, and the attitude was just the same as she used to assume when she waited for me in the spot long ago. Yes, it was Dora. She was not so ill, then, as they had thought her; she had recovered and had come out to meet and surprise me. Thus I thought as I rushed on to greet her. There never was such joy as mine. It was so great that I often wonder it did not kill me then and there. I was now close to her, but she never moved. Uttermg many endearing words I seized her hands, which were clasped before her, and attempted to draw her to me. The hands were cold O, so, stony cold, and the great brown eyes had such a strange expression, and the face was so worn and white that I released her hastily and recoiled several feet "My God!'" was my inward ejacula tion "can my Dora have gone mad? Has her illness dethroned her l'eason?" Suddenly she turned, and, fixing her great star-like eyes on me slowly said: "Paul, your Dora is dead. You came too late I died for love of you. For get me never, O, my darling. Farewell, farewell," and noiselessly approaching me she pressed her icy lips to mine and disappeared. Overcome with horror 1 found myself in bed at the residence of the old village doctor under whom I had first studied. He told me that I had been found un der the old maple tree in a death-like swoon; that three weeks had elapsed since then and I had been suffering from an attack of brain-fever, and in all that time I had talked of nothing but Dora, ghosts, and human cruelty. "When Igrew strong he said: "Old fellow, you have had a tough pull. They came pretty near killing you, as they did Dora, poor girl. She died a short time before we found you. She was calling for you all the time dur ing her illness, and died with your name on her lips." New York Morning Journal. A STRANGE RITE. The Pious Exercise Performed by Mos lems Crazed with Hasheesh. ' In Suakim I heard the Moslems at this pious exercise, and the horror of it was unforgetable, says Philip Robinson in the Contemporary Review. . On sev eral occasions, when the sound reached me from afar, I thought it came from one of the condensing steamers, and so probably to the last did the great ma jority of strangers. But one midnight I was making my way back from a friend's quartei-s to my own when I heard the spectral sound coming from a direction opposite to the ships. I stood and listened, and then determined to follow it up. So in and out, up and down the narrow, dark alleys of the na tive town, 1 wandered in chase of this ventriloquial uproar. Passing along between two high mud walls, T stum bled over a man who was crouching on the ground, and at the same moment a door opened and the whole volume of a prodigious bark issued therefrom. Out of the door came a negro, reeling as if drunk, and fell in a heap by the side of the man I had tumbled over. And then I saw there were several others sitting huddled up along the bottom of the wall, groaning from time to time and gasping in a most frightful manner. As the door remained ajar, I peeped in, and the spectacle presented was so ex traordinary that I ventured to push it wider and step inside into the large courtyard upon which it opened. No one noticed me, for every one was en grossed, as if bewitched, in the religious function that was proceeding. In the center stood a dervish, with a book from which he was chanting. On either side, with torches in their hands that flickered and spluttered as surely torches never did before, stood two acolyte-like youths, who yelled a sort of accompani ment to the dervish's chant. Arranged in a great semi-circle around these officiating personages was a ring of forty men, negroes and Arabs, some bareheaded and nearly naked, others in the complete costume of the well-to-do. They were holding each others hands, and whenever the dervish came to a pause the whole company suddenly raised their joined hands, and as suddenly brought them down again. As they descended, every man bowed his head as low as he could and gave a deep, ventral "hough," The time they kept was so exact that the forty barked like one. On a sudden the dervish stop ped, the acolytes yelled afresh, and then the company of devotees, pumping with their arms and doubling up their bodies, proceeded to a fearful competi tion of lungs. Still keeping in perfect unison, the barking grew faster and faster and faster still, until one by one the huge, brawny, great-boned Africans reeled and staggered out of the ring, leaned against the walls, or fell exhaust ed, gasping and groaning, like heaps of rags, uponthe ground. The contagious delirium of this amaz ing orgy was something dreadful to be hold. A few still held out but faint and muffled in voice, and the torches flashed and spluttered, showing the fainting men lying all around the court tossing their arms about and raving until it seemed as if the devils had been Jet loose on the earth. My own sensa tions were extraordinary, for I, who had only been looking on, felt actually faint and out of breath, and I was glad to get out of the court, with its reek of men and stench of guttering torches. As I went the voices grew weaker and weaker, and so died out altogether; the man who gave the last grunt of all be ing the winner for the night of the prize for piety. Next morning I was told that my adventure had really been one of considerable risk, as many of the men in these barking exercises are mad drunk with hasheesh,; and the whole company fanatically Mohammedan. But I am glad I was not wise in time, or I should never have seen one of the most wonderful sights of my life. v A Minneapolis man says that in China red is thought to be a very lucky color, and that is the reason" why Chinese laundry men in this country use so much red paint and so many red curtains. A Pennsylvania -Midget. - - ; A "Baby Bunting" that could very readily be wrapped in a rabbit-skin of nursery lore has been born to a farmer's wife m the little settlement of Bell Bemk, Chester county. Pa., which is about eight miles from Oxford. The infant is a most wonderful freak of nat ure. When ushered into existence, two weeks ago. it was barely ten inches in length, and it failed to get the better of a four-pound weight when placed in the other end of an ordinary pair of scales in the village grocery store. The father is a fine hearty farmer, rather above ' than below medium height, named Nelson Bunting. He is 45 years old, and his wife, Julia, who is not over two or three years his junior, is quite a large woman. They are the parents of half a dozen girls and boys fully as large as children of their respective ages usually are. and they can offer no explanation of this apparent phenome non. Since her birth "Baby" Bunting has not grown in any perceptible de gree, but she is by no means weak or Euny, despite her diminutive size, and er voice is as powerful as that of the largest infant ever born. She is well roportioned and pretty and is general y considered a perfect specimen of a midge.t Her father s Sunday silk hat is plenty large enough to hide her com pletely, and when put in a half-gallon measure her head does not come within several inches from the top. . The Bunting farm-house has been overrun ever since the birth with throngs of visitors from the surrounding coun try anxious to see the little one, and a number of people from Philadelphia have also had sufficient curiosity to make a pilgrimage to get a glimpse of the yoiipgwoman. Father Bunting is thinking seriously of exhibiting the child next winter in one of the dime museums here, and it is said that he has already entered into correspondence with the managers of the Ninth and Arch streets show. The babv has not yet been named, but the suggestion that it should be call ed Frank Folsom Cleveland Bunting in honor of the president's bride, on whose wedding day it was born, has met with some favor, and it is probable that it will be so christened. Philadelphia Cor. New York World. An American Army in 1777. Here is a picture of one of the men at Valley Forge: "His bare feet peep through his worn-out shoes, his less nearly naked from the tittered remains of an only pair of stockings, his breeches not enough to cover his nakedness, his shirt hanging in strings, his hair dis heveled, his face wan and thin, his look hungry, his whole appearance that of a man forsaken and neglected." And the snow was falling! This was one of the privates. The officers were scarcely better off. One was wrapped "in a sort of dressing-gown made of an old blanket or woolen bed-cover." The uniforms were torn and ragged; the guns were rusty; a few only had bajonets; the sol diers carried their powder in tin boxes and cdw-horns. The horses died of starvation, and the men harnessed themselves to trucks and sleds, hauling wood and provisions from storehouse to hut At one time there was not a ration in camp. Washington seized the peril with a strong hand and compelled the people in the country about who had been selling to the Brit is army at Philadelphia, to give up their stores to the patriots at Valley Forge.

The Historic Gray Uniform, the Gold Buttons, Stars and Braid on Collar, (denot ing rank), stand out in bold relief from the beautiful back ground, each portrait is made in imitation of a large Imperial Cabinet Photograph (4x6 inches,) distinct in every respect from the portraits surrounding it, yet so superior in conception, execution and harmony of colors that it defies criticism.
