"N'ati Lernurd, I wi.-h you to undeistaud distinctly tha: 1 am ut .liberty to choose my own company, 'and I do not propose t hat you shall ; dictate to me, either." and Ellen Gilbert gave her worsted an em : phatie jerk by way of emphasis. "Eur. Ellen, this lellow is a 1 stranger, and well I do not like 'the look of his black eyes." Van spoke his convictions, lor if his feelings h id not been hurt by his evident interist in the maiden he loved, there was something so 'forbidding about this elegant stranger, who had been spending 'the autumn among tin- (hn bills. ' ;IS to pa 1 IT), i.olic-t V;Ul ot) llls ' guard. i "Henrv Romans is a rfeet gell tlenian, and 1 conduct 1 j i in understands how to elf in t he presence ot ! ladies, which is more than eoii.e said of some y oung ineii I kne ' Ellen retorted, angrily . j Van colon d at the turns'. 1 managed to say, coolly : You know, Ellen, icvv pet ! will talk, for well. every d knows ve are engaged." e mt dv i "Engaged !

When he could steady his voice, lie said, slowly ami sadly. "Ellen, there never was a time when 1 did not loolc up t i oii as my future wife, though e have never gone through t he formality of asking and answering that ques tion, we understood each other perfectly. Is not the engagement ring upon your tinger at this very moment :" Snatching the ring from her hand she threw it towards him, saying: "So perish the last link that binds us together. I am glad to be free to feel that you cannot hold me to a bargain that was never made." "Ellen, you know I do not wish my freedom, and you arc just as confident that I would never try to hold you to an engagement of which you are tired. You are not yourself this evening. When you think over your hasty words you will decide differently." Never ! I despise you, and hope you will never come into my pres ence again." LZllen flashed back. Van took his hat from the table, and walked slowly out of the door way aDd down the path to the gate. Lie did not go home, but turning into a path that crossed the meadow, he wandered aimlessly along until he reached a secluded spot, where he sat down to think Erom his earliest boyhood he had known and loved Ellen Gilbert. As they grew up to manhood and womanhood their affections cen tered more and more in each other, and vears ago it came to bo under- j stood that in due course of time they would make a home for them- ! selves. Though more than ordi narily intelligent, Van was only a plain farmer : but, until the com lag ot lienry jtomans, .Ellen had been proud of his sterling qualities, and the whole wealth of her young heart belonged to him. i Kornans had come to spend the , season with a friend, and iu making i love to the pretty, little rustic . maidtD, he had no higher motive ! than to be amused for a lew tedious j weeks, llllen was dazzled by his ! stylih appearance, and enjoyed the , envious glances of her young com panions ; but, although she wished Van was not so old fashioned, she really Ioed him as well as ever. I Onoe or twice she was tempted to c ill him back and tell him that she did not mean what she had said, ! bat calling her pride to her assis tance, she determined to teach him ) a wholesome lesson, i "l'oor Van! It is too bad. for I care more for him. rough and i awkward as he is, than for this handsome stranger, with all his gold and knowledge of the ways of t ii e world," she said to herself, after trying in vain to tind an ex cuse for her harsh words. But I will let him aloue lor a lew days, for he must learn that he cannot dictate to a Gilbert." Van did not come back the next (lay as she had an tici pated, so fur his special benefit she attended the concert in company with Henry Kornans. Van was there, but away bark in a dark corner, where his white face did not h.y.iut the un faithful girl, and so heart sick did he become at the careless remarks ot' thosO around him, concerning j the turn things had taken, that be- j fore the entertainment was half; over he slipped our, unobserved, i and, stealing softly iu at the cot- ' tage door, sought his cwn room : ' ami there he spent the rest of the ' night in contriving plans for his. mother's comfort, for he had fully determined to offer his services to the recruiting otlicer before another sun should set. When, in the morning, he un tolded his plans to his widowed mother, silent tears rolled down her withered cheeks, but not a woi d of complaint did she titter. Other mot hers were compelled to part with their sons, and why should she be spared the pain of separation ? It was soon arranged that her son Ben should take charge of the farm ' and its work, and, before the stars, came out that night, Van had taken ; the last kiss from the dear old mother's lips, and had marched away with the bovs in blue. He had not spoken a word concerning Ellen's unfaithfulness, but the mother's intuition told her some- thing was amiss between them. i WhenTllen heard of her lover's enlistment she wept bitterly, but' he j r i 1 prompted her To conceal her remorse by seeming care l-'ss. Alter Van was gone she tinted desperately with young Ro mans, and Ren's wile did not think her duty accomplished until .-he had repeated her opinion ot' the girl's conduct to Van. So thorough ly indignant was t he young niatroti that she even eonllded to him lhiine Rumoi's report concerning the wedding that was to take place dining the holidays. It might all have been different had not Van at tni-juncture implored his sister-in-law not to mention Ellen Gilbert's name at all in the future. So lie went on believing that Ellen his Elleo belonged to another man. and. feeling that he was alone in the world, be became reckless of his life. It was on Thanksgiving Day, 'G'2, that Ellen drove him from her presence, and when that fe.-tal day c. imo around again, be lay wounded and bleeding on Lookout Moun tain's gory tield. Early on that memorable day, I he color bearer was shot down, and it was Van Hern. ml who sco! the tatteied tlag from captuio. carrying it widi bun right iiro the thickest of the tight. He was .-ecu to tall amid the sVim of shot and shell th.it d. likened the air, and when the -moke of battle cleared away, his comrades took up what they sup- posed to and. wraj he had b: the grave he his mutilated body, ling n in the i iddled tl ig ne. laid linn tenderly in their own hand- h id hoi lowed. Hut poor Van found a tar rest tu! bed than the one they prepared for him, for wi undci md in a Sou : hern pn.v m , t he beat down unmercifully upon while his friends in the N ICS- had 1. ill stl 11 11U). U t ii thought him sale with Go il mg learned through a comrade whi) had been brought into t he hos. pital in a d ing condition tha" his .mother was dead, and that tin papers had been f ull of euiogn s ( concerning his own heroic end, he detei mined nut to undeceive the wot Id. but, when the struggle was over, to bury himself m some secludi-d spot in the Sunny South. , and to let Ins old friends and neigh I liors go on believing him asleep on the battlefield where he. had fallen, lie was not exrhanged until the war closed, and then among s ran geis. he begin his new and sol i tar v life. Though EiL-n feigned indiffer- ence, she would have sacrificed tier 'life ti have saved the noble one of her lost friend. Even while en gaged in playing the part of a co quettd her heart was aching for one word from the honest, sinsible man she had sent from her so cruelly. Week after week and month after uirnth she looked in vaiu for the letter that she hoped he would te so forgiving as to write. : At times she was tempted to lay aside tier reserve and send him a penitent letter, that she was cer tain would bring a reply: but lien's wife would say that she was court ing his favors because the city fellow had cast her aside. So it was that no explanation were ever made, and when the news of Van's noble death came, Ellen was almost prostrated with grief. She went around the house pale and wan, and at times her friends feared that ejason itself would be dethroned. But trouble is not apt to kill, and poor Ellen was destined to carry her heavy sorrow many long, weary days. Iler brothers and sisters marr ied, and iu due course ot time her parents went to join tho sleep ers in the silent city of the dead, and Ellen was left alone iu the house that had once been so full of song and laughter. Three days before the anniversary of the battle of Lookout Mountain, twenty years after he had been car ried into captivity, an uucoutroll able longing to look upon home and familiar faces seized Van Dei uard. Defore, he had stifled all such desires, but somehow he could not quiet the he. irt-y earnings this time, so his valisa was hurriedly packed, and his landlady was in formed that he would be absent a fortnight. An hour later be was dying northward and homeward. Day was dawning when he stepped ujju the station of his native town. Not wishing to arouse Ben's family so eaiL, he determined to take a stroll through the graveyard and down past the old Gilbert hemestead. There were in anv familiar names cut m the monuments in the cemetery, but he only paused long enough to read the inscription on his mother's tombstone and drop a tear upon her grave. The sun was just beginning to tint the treetops when he halted at the gate leading to the porch, where he and Lillen had spent so many happy hours. But little change had taken place in the appearance of the old house and its surround ings since the day he went away, just twenty years before. Opening the gate he walked up the path, and was about to occupy a rustic seat, which his own hands had fashioned, when a woman who had been gathering China asters and autumn leaves came suddenly from behind tne old elm tree, aud once again an Dernaru and Ellen Gilbert stcrod face to face. Ellen was the first to reoovor her voice, and there was a perceptible tremor in her tone as she faltered : Van Bernard! Lias the grave really given up its dead, or is it a spirit 1 address ?" Tt is Van Bernard, flesh and blood as of old, who stauds before ou, Ellen but I do not kuow by what name I should address you now," Van replied, in a voice that convinced his hearer that it was no supernatural being who had made her such an unseasonable call, but that the real Van Bernard, whose lace had haunted her for more than a score of years, now stood in her presence. Call me Ellen. Ellen Gilbert, as you did in the long ago," she said, quietly. But I thought you were married Henry Kornans'" Is not, and never was anything to me." she answered. "But: you look faint. Come in and get a mouthful of breakfast," "Not now, Ellen. Sit down and let us uudei stand each other." And there, amidst the old familiar scenes, the breach of three tunes seven ears was healed. All the long, doleful past was forgotten in the new hopes that had come so suddenly to them. An hour later, when old Mrs. Goodman came in to help with the Thanksgiving dinner, she found them still on the porch, forgetful of their breakfast and evervthing else except that they had lound each ( ther, and nothing but death would ever separate them again. That was a real Thanksgiving to them both, and the quiet marriage that was celebrated in the old-' fashioned parlor that night was as full of love as if there had been no gray hairs in the locks ot the bride and groom. Eelle V. Chrisiiolm. Life Twice Wasted. Robert Cheviot has translated from a German recently writer a remarkable storv , which, although whollv i work of imarrination. cou- veys a significant meaning to every reader. It purports to be the life history of tli son ot a Saxon peasant, born in squalid poverty and reared in ignorance. No gleam of intellig ence, ot knowledge, or even of1 rationalamusemeut, lenghtened the monotonous twilight of his days.' He lived the life of boys andyoung men of his class, but growing more brutal in his tastes as the years passed. When he reached middle age there came a change. He went to a great city, fortune favored him. ' and at 1-it he became wealthy. : Hut he himself was uixdi inged. He knew no higher use for money than to spend it in gratifying the lower passions and deba-ing tastes 1 which had been nur-ed m his earlv life. Still he was spared, and his body ! seemed to set at naught the rutin-1 ary law id' nature that every man shall sutler for the abuse of his own ! appetites. Rat at last, even his1 iron ft nine y ielded. In exrreme old ' age. on his ninetieth oitthday, he as confronted by Death. i The gum enemy apieaiedj'o him. I so the stoiv i uti.-, as a visible pres 1 ence, and summoned h retribution awaiting one im to iv h o the had misspent his lite. Tile old man begged to liv Ills l.fe over again, plouliug thar his birth aud chi.dhood, in poverty and vice, had given him no chance to know God, or to serve Him. If he could have another chance, he would devote his life to good woiks aud to service of God. The prayer was granted, for the first time iu t he history of the wor ld. He was suffered to live his life over again. He died, aud was born again as the son of a powerful nobleman. He recollected distinctly his first life, and knew, too, that to him had been given, through God's infinite mercy and patience, this chauee to redeem its errors, and save himself from punishment. He has now wealth, youth and the homage of the world Beholds the lull cup of worldly pleasure to his lips, and again he drinks deeply of it. He does not forget his purpose to live a new and better life, but he delays beginning. ''Yet ariothergday and I will re pent,'" lie says. "Yet a day to enjoy lite. Then I will devote my sell to God and all good things." The days pass; the weeks, the years. He grows more vicious as each carries up its black record to heaven. His first life had been evil ihielly to himself. His second life Ms stained withfoul crimes against others. At last he commits a murder: he slays his nearest friend. Appalled, the terrified wretch drives the kuife into his own heart aud gives back his soul, still foul and stained, to God. The folly of the man who thus, for idle, trivial pleasures, wasted the opportunity granted to him, astonishes and dismays evciy reader of this wild tale. But does the reader think of his own folly who has but one lite to live? "Beware,"' says the Arab proverb, "how thou dealest with God or thy brother. For thou shalt never meet him at the same crossing ol the ways again." To every man or woman who comes into the world God gives the opportunity to enter at death into a higher, nobler, hanpier li le. Out sells his chance for fame, another for money, a third for gay clothes and vapid, fashionable folly, and yet anotherjtor sensual indulgence. One day, a blank wall shuts down across the path. Here lies the man's qody, a lump of decayiug matter. His frame passes like the forgotten souud of y esterday'sjwind; what do the rich garments or what does selfish indulgence count for now to him? Alas! must such a human history be repeated over and over again, and the living take no warning from the dead? Youths Com panion. lie was in Love. Mighty is the power of love, aud it came near getting a theological student, some weeks ngo, into a terrible scrape. His class was un dergoing the last examination. The professor who was conducting the exercise observed this student take something from his breast pocket every now and then, look at it with fervor, replace it, and then renew his writing with increased ardor. Could he be copying the answers to the questions on the paper? At length the examiner came np behind him, seized his hand, and demanded to see what he held in it. The studen-, having no choice but to comply, delivered the hidden object, which proved to be the photograph ot the voung lady who was soon to be tome his briiie. He was merely using her image as a means of inspiration. Exchange. Street Life iu Home. Erom the Piazza del Popolo, Rome, stretches the famous Corso, the center of "the stir aud traffic and at carnival time the sceue of all the wild joy and mirth. It runs in a direct Line for nearly a mile towards the great "Forum Roma nun." One could hardly imagiue a gayer or more animated scene than in presents on a Sunday afternoon. Here are to be met strangers trom every part of the civilized world.

When i i.-.opths old a lump appeared on her heel, which si vy grew larger. The family physician thought it was caused by a piece of broken pi 3 or needle, but failed to bring anything to light. Tho -h'.M became feebler all the time, seeming to 1 se the use of her lex. and finally quit walk lug entirely. The middle finger and thumb of either hand became enlarged, the flesh be coming hard. The hip Joints became Involv ed, so that when sovt-nteen months old ihe could not stand, having lost the uso of ieg and arm. Partial curvature f the sptne alio fallowed. Tht nervous yg:em was wrecked, iYuaCteji contracted, and there was general wasting of flesh and mu-k'le. At eighteen months of ap-e she was placed under the treatment of a pro nlnnt physician of Boa ton, Ma., but at the end of ten months she had declined to such a degree that she waa in a dying condition. This was in April, 1SS6 We took the child away not knowing what to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were over-persuaded by friends to try "one bot tle" of Swift's Specific, which we did. and before It had all leen taken we saw a change for the belter In her symptoms. We kept It up, and have done so to this day, and will keep it up, if the Lord wills, for many days to come, for It has brought Qur dying Hazel to life, to vigor, to strength and health again. Tha ashen hue of her cheeks has changed to a rosy tint. She U able to walk anywhere her languor and melancholy have passed away, and she Is now a blithe, cheerful, hap py romping child.
