Your ticket madam," said a voice above
me, and I was fumbling in my satchel fur
the article demanded when the voice went
on in sudden surprise : "l'ardon me, is
not this Mrs. Edward Lamar? '
Of course it was, and this conductor
standing hy mo was Hugh Oliver, whom I
bad m t seeu for ten years or more.
"Hugh 1" said I, and as we shook eaih
other's hand I made room for him on the
at beside me and looked into the fine
face whieh hail been the face of n mere
boy when last I saw it. ''I would have
known you anywhere, though you do look
so grave and grown and and sad."
"Did not I always look sad?" said he
wilb a sort of wistfaj amile that both put
tied and hurt me.
Hugh had always been a puttie to me,
but I had liked him in a benign, impersonal
way of my own.
"You were reticent boy, I remember.
and greatly astonUhed us all when you
ran away from Mr. Piling iu the unac
countable way you did."
Hugh looked at me again in that wist
ful manner.
I'll tell you the secret of it, Mrs. Lamar,
since it can not ever matter to any mem
ber of the IVring family and your face,
so kind, makes uie long to unburthen the
heaviest heart that ever oppressed a mail's
bosom."
He looked up at the dim lamp a mo
ment and I knew that he was overcoming
some strong emotieu whieh had sei&.il
upon hiui.
"Was it Jean lering, Hugh ?" said I,
gently, and, in an iui-tant, he looked down
at me, pale, eager, agitattnl.
Yes," he said. "Am I not a fool?
Hut oh ! Miss Mary, you, who knew her,
an not blame, my madness." (Then ab
ruptly), "You have heard that fho is
married '.'"
Yes last month. She married Char
lie Nelson."
Poor Charlie !" said Hugh, with a
bitter laugh. "Do you think that I envy
biiu? I, whom vhc loves ! "
Hugh I 'said I, a trifled shoeked.
'I do uot speak in the vain assur'ame
of self conceit, Miss Mary, tied knows I

you. li'-l me cry out tins i Hoc and it may
be that hereafter I can be atill."

from th. deiot that first evening.

white and slim o.i'ue to my raseae with
couip osionate "pair ihild! poor lit 1 1
stranger 1" in a way that wou for her my
jiassiooste gratitude forever.'
Hugh's voice broke; he could out speak
of her without being greatly moved.
You know, Miss Mary, the position
held at Deling House; at first, errand-buy
bringing in wood for the fires, dtivin;
up the cows at night, tending the sheep
and the young calm; afterwards, as I
grew older, getting into heavier laboi
yet always menial.
I did my best, Miss Mary.
I was truly grateful to my benefactor,
and determined to prove my gratitude with
a life-time of service.
Yet, it would sccin strange, even in the
heart of that penniless dependent, there
was a hidden pride burning at the lowli
ucss of this lot.
Was it the influence of the gentle girl
growing from child to maiden beforo my
wistful gaze herself so lofty a standard?
Miss Mary, Jean it was who taught me
the little I know. I was permitted to
come with the boys to the study-room at
night, and at her feet I gleaned my store
of knowledge. God knows I was all apt
scholar.
Never strove ignorance to drink of wis
dom's fountain as strove that poor little
fool who was lot-man at Deriug. I loved
her as most men love hope.
I nursed my paseion with the secret
vigilance of the maniac guardiag bis hidden
lunacy.
Not lor mo the sweet joy of lavishing
my love at her feet. I knew if my secret
were suspected I would bo banished for
ever from her presence.
I often thought that were it tuiuc only
once to walk beside her to church, to
carry her fan, to talk with her, as otb
men were privileged to d i, I would be
willing, then, to go away and die.
Ah ! a smile at my folly, yet your kind
eyes ntono with a tear.
Yet who can know the pitifiilucss of a
love like mine ? Ay, and the grandeur
and the pureness of it, too !
1. it lie did she know, as with bcr sweet
"good morrow" she passed the silent youth
at the woud pile, how ho longed to cast
himself down and kiss the holy ground
that bore the iiupiint of her gentle feet
Little knew she of the kisses that blurred
the pencil mark made by her fingers in
her pupil's faulty exercise books.
Little did she guess for years who
followed (afar off) her and the young mcu
who went with her to church at night;
who lingered lung hours by the gate fur
single glimpse ot her face as she went
by Ah, she was so kind
me ! so patieut with my ignorance I so
tender of my feelings ! She divined wilb
her wonderful woman's instinct the sensi-
live pride I sought to bury out of sight."
Hugh broke off again abruptly, and
looked away, agitated, to the jingling
lamp.
"Hugh," said I presently, "how did it
end ?"
"In this way." His lips trembled as he
spoke. "One brilliant Sabbath night iu
June, the young people from Dering went
in a flock to attend service in the high
steepled old church which perhaps you
remember.
There was no young man with Miss
Jean that night and her brothers Were en

They were very gay their laughing
voices rang out discordantly on the solemn

They were so busy with themselves

that I ventured to draw nearer than my
wont.
I drew near.
Jean and Herbert (the youngest brothe
were behind, and prtsenlly 1 saw J

Herbert nodded and walked on Ji

A party of deep-water liaptists hold a
service olT the Canadian river hank, oppo

There were some ten or a dozen converts,
mostly women. ( lue of these was afraid

with cork from head to heels, but sliedid-

All at once, however, the current took
her off her feel and threw her lengthwise
on the surface of the water. The minis

The current was every instant dragging
her out. The minister clutched frantically

without success. The minister himself

The cut rent was very swift. The minis

and wildly flourished his anus to the peo

mere speeks.
'This is horrible," said the minister,
looking tuiiiid ou the waste of waters; "in
three hours we'll he over the falls. Sister

Sister Jones, who had been nulling

The country is learning to utilize waste.
Making buttons of blood is in this direc
tion. There is a largo factory in lliidge
port, near Chicago, employing 100 men
boys and girls, in which waste animal
blood is converted into buttons. The same
firm has another factory elsewhere. A
man named Hir.-ch was the first to intro
duce the business into this country, some
years ago. He lost $ll!,nini the first six
months, but stuck to it and now is im
mensely wealthy. There are a number of
similar factories in England. From b,(HI0
to 111,1111(1 gallons of blood are used in the
liridgeport factory every day. Nothiug
but fresh beef blood is us d,
Considerable of the blood evaporates
during the process of drying, but what re
mains is pure albumen. S jujo of it is
light in color and some dark, according to
the chemical treatment given it. These
thin sheets uf dried blood are then broken
up, aud are ready to be worked into vari
ous shapes and sizes. Large quantities of
the blood sheets are used by cloth luauu
factutcrs for "setting" the color in calico
goods. Not only arc buttons made from
blood iu this way, but tons of earrings,
breastpins, belt clasps, combs and trinkets
arc made annually there from blood. It
is a queer, odorilerous business, but a pay
ing one.

An accident showing his gills is related
by his uncle. Late one Satuiday night
he arrived at a town in the mountainous
regions of l'ennsylvania, where he was a total
stranger. The uext morning he made
his way to the Methodist church, and ac
costed the pastor, telling him he was a
brother in the ministry. Simpson being
extremely awkward and iu plain appear
ance, the pastor was half inclined to omit
the courtesy due to a brother preacher of
asking him to deliver a sermon. If he in
ipiired of the bishop as to his name be
must have tailed to eateli it, tor lie cer
tainly had no idea to whom he was speak
ing. His request for llie crangvr to
preach was therefore expressed iu most
formal and constrained manner. The
stranger aurced to fill the pulpit, anil the
pastor's ehagriu was evident as he tesi;:tnsj
himself to his fate. The bishop preached
one of his powerful .scmicius, and every
body iu the audience whispered to bis
neighbor, "Who is he?" l'efore he had
taken his seat, the pistol had him by the
band. "What did you say your name was?"
Simpson.'' "What! Not the bishop?"
"That is what they call me." The minis
ter instantly sprang to his feet and shouted.

their acquaintances called Daddy and

although lacking as regards erudition,

she often displayed in a manner that was

' Fur in my years my wife had been
the ii.tiiu uf nervous dyspepsia, uf the
lira mil . digressing ami apparently in
cur, ilile tyie hum wliu.li so many other
sex sullci. languish .mil die. It was all
the worse because the tendency to it
was indented. She hail been under the
systematic licatmeiit of many of the
best liv sii i.uis in New Vuik andllrook
lyn ami elsewhere for twenty years with
only tcoi;n.iry relief. In fact, there
were few, if any, kinds of food that did
not distress her, so diseased, sensitive
and torpid were all the organs of diges
tion. The usual symptoms of dyspep.
&i.i, with ilsi imcoinitaiit ailments, were
all present- bad taste in the mouth,
dull eyes, cold feet and hands, the sense
of a load upon the stomach, tenderness
on pressure, indigestion, giddiness,
great weakness and prostration, and fu
gitive pains in the sides, chest and back.
I have often risen iu the nig'it and ad
ministered stimulants merely for the
sake of the slight and transient relief
Intermittent malarial fever set !n,
complicating the case and making
every symptom more pronounced and
intense. Ily this time the pnetimo
gastric nerves had become very seri
ously involved, am' she had chronic
Gastritis, and also what I may be al
lowed to call chronic intermittent m.t-
laiial fever all at once. For the latter
the physicians pi escribed the good, old
I'.isliioncd. shcet-.iuchor remedy, Quin
ine gradually increasing the doses, until
incredible as it may seem she actu
ally took IHIKi'V GRAINS A DAY FOR
DAYS IN SI LLESSION. This could l.Ot
last. The effect of the quinine was,
possible, almost as bad as the two-
'ol'! disease which was wearing away
her strength and bcr lile. Quinine
poisoning was painfully evident, but
the fever was ilicrc still. Almost every
.lav there came on the characteristic
lull ami inking hcailu lie, followed
by the usual weakness and collapse.
About this time I met socially my
friend Mr. Norton, a member of the
firm of Cliaiiiiccy Titus & Company,
brokers, of Albany, who, on hearing
from me these facts, said: "Why, I
have been through almost the same
thing, and have got over it." " What
ured you?" I asked eagerly. " Kai-
kine," be said, " try it for your wife."
1 had seen Kaskine advertised, but had
no more faith in it than 1 had in saw-
lust, for sin h a case as hers. Mrs.
Hall had no bighei opinion, yet on the
strength ol my friend's recommenda
tion 1 got a bottle aud began its use
as directed.
Nun- recall what I 'lave already said
as to her then condition, and then read
what follows: Under the Kaskine
treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms
showed iiistJi improvement, and the
tlaily fever giew less and soon ceased
altogether. Side by side these diseases
vanished, as side by side they had tort
ured tneir Mcnm lor ten years tnj
dysepsia alone having, as I have said,
existctlfor twenty years. Hci appetit J
improved from week In week until sh2
could cat and digest i.ic Lerage food
that any well person takes vithjut any
suneiing or iiuonvcnieuc.'. With re
newed assimilation of food came, of
course, a steady increase in tlesh, until
bhe now looks like her original self, at
She still takes Kaskine occasionally,
but with no real need of it, for she is
well. I consider this result a scientific
miracle, and the New Quinine " is en
vied to the credit of it, for from the
time she begin wii'.i Kaskine she used
no other m 'dieine whatever. . as
