Ia the delicate hangiiinn she buried her tear-furrowcd face, and aotia, ai though coming from a boily-parting coul, broke thickly through the sulcxu lileace of the night. Surely love nan ordained to be a bteasingl Why then bad it proved a curse to her? It was merely in an excess af youth ful spirits perhaps, that the summer be fore, ahile at her father's country rrs- idcDce for the season, she should visit the country schools during tbe eser- ciKes. Fur the city bred I idy there is little of variety in the interminable suc cession uf pleiisant days green fields and taiild-Qianoeted cons or sheep, aud this was an a greeablu diversion. She wanted to Bt’e for herself bow tbe rustic idea was made to shoot, she said ta her friend, Grate Allep. and never would butter opportunity offer.

A low Ctfili(i2*‘l wliiie wnsh room plenleoualy furnished with rude desits. No vacant stare from gaping, idly curious faces greeted their cntnuce. There may have been siiie gtaoccs sent tunard them from tbe book bent eyes, but that was all. And tho leuchcrl Not tho conven tinnai shHrp-angled spectacled olj maid of Annctta’s fancy by any means. A yoQtbrul, slender mar, very bundsome and ciiii''tenus, bowed lowly, aud spoke a few words of cordial welcome, shoW' ing them to the only two approaches to chairs the place possessed. Begging liieir patience fur a moment ho proceeded iu the discharge of bis duties. R^ipidly and with a graceful ease he beard tbo various pupils, i>r overionlied their tasks and then dis missed thciu. They had come to be smuscd but the ladies were forced to admire. There was s:>mething of manliness in thij tiller oftho miiid, that humblo as bis field was, cbwinniided rc^psct. A few ci>mmoiiptai.e rumarks were in terchanged oonucruiiig tbe school which was built upon lior fithot’s eslals. I know bisj) well, Miss KIderaon said tho master. Indeed it ia to his Ikvor that I am iudebted fur oiy position. I wish, should lou think of it, you would give him Mr, Il2noel’s compliments] Are you then Mr. Rani:els7 and Ac- netu, ns she spuke hurriedly, seemed tn be unawaro of cither the interest in her voice or the no less eloqent language that mounted iu rosy flushes lu her cheek. F‘ir she had often board her father mentiun him as une in whom he felt the deepest interest. The snn of an old emplove, he bad iiflfurtcd his lieallh in, bis medical studies, and that he might with more comfort pursue the one, while recuperating the other, ho had se cured for him tho mastership uf the vil lage school. Yon will come and see ua, sir said Miss Elderson at parting. I know I ora speaking for papi when I say you will be more than wclcome. The same warmth nhich had before inteneified her. manner seemed now (o be redoubled. Very evidently tbe vis it for entertainment had become sur charged with earnestness of the must positive aud serious kind. Il' a hearty grasp of the baud is worth aught in the currency of good will, John UIduffoo felt it for his protegao. Ni>t only did he chide him fur not coming earlier when he did visit the big man sion, be made him promise bo would shortly come again. Aud he did. Bat middle-ag d men bave much to attoi.d to besides tbe cbarini of social coavene and lo what wonder If Ilarry llennel* and Aonetca Kldersen were oflta alone. In her father's absence tho must act tbs hos tess and a charming ouo she made. There ware pleasant hour* ipeot in tha ihade of the porch, aad Just as plessant wanderings baneatb the balmy trees. It wni u wise to expect that ef fect wovld precede cause la aad out of nature’s work, as lo imaglao such things would be without their influence. And so the days bad flown swiftly ond peacefully. They were now seated ia a fnvorito seat, already consecrated, by naoy sweot assurances. Through the close-lcaved trees fell upon them tbo radisnco of tho soft July noon. With bowed boad end sorrow-broken voice ho was speaking to her. Aud the story ho told sceaiod too sud, too full of pain aud woe for such a glorious time. (jeiitleman that ho waa, and recog nizing the social diCerenca bstwcoa tbo girl and hlmsoif, be had just asiisd tho father for permission to pay bis ad- addrrsses to Annotts. 13>it the ansuer crushed his hopes like a blast of light- Dine. No, Mr, Reonela, my daughter must wed in her own rank; and sir, nhcQ you entered this bnuse I believed yon wouid ont so far forget ynursclf as to speak lu her ur think uf her as it is evident you have. I now see niy mistake, G:>oiI night. A'ld ihe proud uian rcfunia;; t» hear him further, bowed him from the rooRj. So the lovers were partiug. Accord - ing to the code that rulo most hearts, perhaps it were not treason to havo per sisted in spite nf parental oppcrsition, hut it did not belong to his nuturo to do so nor to hers. The last gnod-bye had been said, with a prayer that at some happier tiino they miiiht meet agaia and they sc'par- oled. lie to return to iha city—tho summer vacation having begun—she ti> seek the solitude nf her chamber, nhurc unseen, she might pour out tho woe that was torturing her soil. What John sufiorvd nuno can tell. But his future may have bcun tho hap piest. A terrible esourage had slriick the country—one that oiaiiy shiilotl physicians feared to eucountcr—and hs, althoNgh but a tyro in the healing art, found himself useful, broadly bad the awful fever spread itsoif that ciedi- cal aid was wanted at all poiats; and in self sacrificing vlT^rts to help the ef^lictcd —in the d ities of tha proi'casinn f.-'ita morning tilt night—he almost managed to stiQi! the sad memocius of his happilcss luvc. But she—after (but bitter night— whatever tbo agony endured, sceniu'd more resigned. I'hcte «7aa a nettled sor row upon her face, aud her voice scld !i;i rang through the houso nllh iU olcl- timed merriment, but withal che bravely met the fortune fate had nilled her. Still worse became the terrible pla gue. Ilundie's verc dying daily, and a loud cry for help rosa up I'rora tho strUcen land. IMoney nas needed; doctors were needed and nurses wor^t of ail. Biinetla Klderson heard the ap peal, and it was nut lung cro her ro- solve was made. She had heard of the man she loved so nobly faeiiig diiRtb, and in ndioi.iistralion and aflV'ctiun for her hero, she becamc a bcruiue. So she went into the city onn olTercd her services to tbe Ilowardu, To the credit of her sex it oust be said there were many aa rich and youn|; and fair as she, who bad done the same, but none did so with more kindly ciiarily or a better heart. Into the slums—into the worst cnn- tres of infei lion—into the hospitalj— everywhere that duty beckoned, bhe car ried tbe blessing c! a geiillo voice and baud. And day by day she groro to love her work, fur in rclioviug tho sor rows of others ebc seemed to Icessn her Every cf:'ort the wisdom of man co\Id suggest was made, but the terrible dis- aaso stalked oo, slaying its thousands. lOvan the physicians and nurses yielded to its dire influence, and in soma places one was left to do the work of ten. Tho less experienced or unacclima ted fell earliest, and of this number was [lonry Rjonela. But it was no surprise, for hii Buperiura bore honoruble testi mony to the fact th*t in tbeir corps «f workers he ainayi stood amoug the first. Now in the hospital lay be, in the fiiml stigrs of tbo dread disease.^ Ilis flushed fevered countenarico gave out an hopeful sign. Wandering in bis mind, ho spoke uf mai:y things, and among them of bis love. * Some nf the atteodaots knew the name, and towards the end Annetta camo to his beJside. And there she remained till all was over. Before the red uf the swollea face had given place to tbe pallor of death, there came a mo meet of reason, and tho dying man saw the pale, tear-staiiicd chcck bending above him. There was an cITort speak but tongue and lips refused tbeir duty. The eyes alone, dimming with tbe coming shadow told the longing iu the heart While they yet looked up at her with slowly dying brightness, she placed her arm beneath bis neck and kissed him. Bometbiag like a aniile crossed bis features. It gave shade to the swoon of tbe last sunmoos—aud lie waa dead. They would have taken bcr away but she refused to go. And when a few hours after they came to remove tho body sbe was herself licP.riuus wilb fits! symptoms of the fever. Teoderly tbejr cared for her, but she was nut to be saved. She passed away with tbe nawo of her lover on her lips. Some said her imprudeat kiss bad been tbe cause, and other* that it was only to be expectod from her wbolesnnlod sactiflce, and atteutlon to all tbe needy and sfll cted. But let what will be the canie, bow uobly it it to die for tevo and Duty I ■iie Wanted Two. There is no reasoo why the Inventor of a remedy to "euro tbo worst caso of catarrh Inside of five minutes,’’ shnuldu’t fcol U bis duty to place a bottle of tbo same in every persun'a hand—tnenty-fivc cents; no cure no pay."
