John ' Ramiley'S Labor of Love, Which Terminated in a Wedding, JOHN RAM SA.Y was working on his farm, his careless, loose dress dis. playing to advantage hia tall, muscu- lar figure, and a broad straw hat shaded a handsome face, with large, dark eyes eat beneath a foreleead whose breadth and height indicated • a powerfal brain. The hands that guided the plough were ;strong bawls, but whiter and more delicate than much purs suits usually allow. Daisy Hale sat watching him. Her dress was print, but made with flounces on the skirt and ruffles on the waist. Her short, golden hair was curled into a fringe cares fully over her forehead and gathered in longer curls into a comb hollend, above •which was a jaunty hat covered with muffs of white muslin and bows of blue ribbon to match the spots upon her dress. The face under Daisy's hat was gloomy, mot to say °rose. A very pretty face, but not pleasant, having a petted, spoiled- lehild frown and a brooding discontent in the large blue eyes. Presently the farmer drew near her, and, taking off his hat, fanned himself with it, stopping his horses while he leaned sud- edenly against the plough. "You look deliciously. cool under this great tree," be said. "And—hem !— very much dressed for 9 o'clock in the. smorning." " In a five -penny calico 1" she said, con- temptuously. " When are you coming sin'?" 4' Ab noon, to dinner." "It is too absurd," she broke out, angry tears in her eyes, "for you to be plough. ting and hoeing and milking cows and -doing the work of a laboring man! I thought when you came home from college , you would do something besides work on a rfarm." , "Ad let the farm go to ruin? That would be a poor way to pay my debts." " Your debts !" she said, looking aston- ished. "Do you owe debts ?" "Certainly 1 You and I are both very heavily in debt, Daisy. I think when Aunt Mary took us in, poor little orphans—I her nephew, you her second Winne— _sae( "Third cousin," she interrupted, "since all you are so partioular. I know what you .mean, hut I am very sure that Aunt Mary never intended us to drudge on the horrid sold farm." "Do you know that the money she saved in a life of hard work was spent upon our education? Do you know that she has vtiothing now but the farm, and that to take sher away from it would probably shorten her life ?" "She has always taken care of it her- self." "Are you blind that you cannot see how the four years she has been alone here have Aged her, how feeble she is. While we were living au ease at college and school, she has toiled for us until she is wearied out." "But you could send her money if you were in the city in some gentlemanly emu- epation." ', Perhaps so, ten or twelve years from now. To -day I propose to work this farm, and see how many bushels of corn I can •-raise on it." He took hold of the plow handles as he "spoke, started the horses and left her, her eoyes full of angry tears. "He might as well have said what he -meant," she thought, springing down and ntarting for the house. "He thinks I ought to cook, wash, make butter and work lake a servant, when I have studied so hard and tried to keep myself a lady, that he might • not be ashamed of me." Yet, in her heart, she knew that he was ashamed of her, and that she deserved it. Ashamed that she could sit in her room, selfishly engrossed in making pretty articles of dress, or reading, while her cousin, or, as • she, too, called her, Aunt Mary, worked in the kitchen, the dairy, the poultry yard g, -from day's dawn till night. esr She was not all selfishness and heartless- ness, though there had grown a thick crust of both over her better nature. Her ideas •of ladies and gentlemen depended largely •.upon clothing and pursuit, and she had not yet Tette realized how much more nearly John's standard reached the desired point • than her own. As she drew near the house the sting of eJohn's words penetrated more and more •through the crust she had drawn over her heart, until a fresh stab met her at the door. s Looking in at the open door, she saw a 4•white head bowed in weeping, a slight figure shaken by soles. Quickly, through all the selfishness, self- • reproach struck at the girl's heart, and in • .a moment she was on her knees beside the low chair, her arins around the weeping ..woman. "Oh, Aunt Mary, what is ib? Oh, ,please don't cry so ? *What has happened ?" "Why, Daisy dear," through sobs that vveuld not be checked at a moment's no- tice, 4` don't Mind me. I'm only tired, -dearie—only tired," Could she have 'struck deeper? Tired 1 At seventy housework does become a weariness 1 At seventy it may them as if one ought to net while young hands and „active feet take up the burdens.

"I cannot be a lady," she thought, "and John won't be a gentleman, but I will try to pay My ahare of the debt." She had taken off her flounces and hatend put on a plain dress and large cheek apron before she began to work,and she was rather astoniehed as her kieohen dutiee programed, to find herself happier than she had been sitioe elle returned home. When John game to dinner he wail aston- ished to find Aunt Mary "quite dressed up," as she blushingly eaid, in a Mee/sprint dress and white apron, her dear olcl face showing me sip of heat or weariness, while Daisy, with added ieloom and bare white arms, was carrying in the dinner. "Tho new girl at year service," she add, Saucily, as she pulled down her eleeves. "Dinner is ready, sir." But her lips quivered as he bent over her and whispered; "God Nees you dear ! Forgive nee it I was too hasty this morning," It was a merry meal. They made e play that was more than half earnest of Aunt Mary's being a great lady who was to be waited upon, and not allowed to rise from the table upon any oonsideration. Dinner over, John, returned to his ploughieg, and Aunt Mary, firmly refusing to sit in idle. nese was allowed to wash cups and MIMI%) while Daley made short work of pots and pans. John said but little as the days wore on and still found Daisy.at her post. It was not in the nature of things for Aunt Mary to sit with folded hands, but it became Daisy's task to inaugurate daily 'septet() see thet only the light work came to the older hands, to make daily work less of a toil and more of a leisure. The young girl herself was *surprised to fled how much she enjoyed the life that had seemed to her a more drudgery. With younger hands to carry on the domestics affairs, they ceased to engross every hour of the day, and John encouraged Daisy in making use of the stiff, ehut.up parlors as a daily sitting -room. A pair of muslin ourtains at eaen window were skill- fully draped to keep out the flies, the cen- tre table resigned its gay vase of stiff arti- ficial flowers and stand of wax fruit, to make room for two dainty work baskets for afternoon work and the periodicals John took in. Over the shiny horse -hair sofa and chairs pretty bits of embroidery were draped, and fresh ftowers were supplied each day. Aunt Mary's caps, collars and aprons were ad- justed to suit the new order of things, and the easiest of chairs stood ever ready for her resting time. John, bringing to his task the same will and brains that had carried him through college, was inaugurating a new order of affairs on the farm, and made the work pay well. Once more came a June day, when Daisy sat in the fields and John stood leaning against the fence beside her. Four years of earnest, loving work had left traces upon both young faces, en- nobliug them, and yet leaving to them all the glad content that rewards well - doing. Many hours of self-denial both had met bravely ; many deprivations both had borne well. eDaisy wore a black dram'and upon the hat in John's hand was adeep band of crape, but through a sadness in their voices there yet rang a tone of hap- piness. "You love me, Daisy ?" John had said to her. "When have I not loved you?" she softly answered. • "And you will be my wife? Darling, I have long loved you, but after Aunt Mary was struck down with paralysis I would not ask you to take up new duties. Now she needs you no longer, and you shall leave the farm whenever you wish. "Leave the farm 1 Oh, John, must we leave it? I thoughtit was yours now." " So iris." "And you have made it so beautiful, as well as profitable 1 Oh, John, why must we leave it ?" "Only because I thought it was your wish, my darling." "15 would break my heart to go away. I love my home." And John, taking the little figure into a close embrace, wondered if any city could producea sweeter, daintier little lady than the one he held in his arms.—Home Queen. The Female Zion Tauter. "Yes, gentlemen," remarked the ad- vance agent of the only big show on earth, "notwithstanding the fact that in the past we have ransacked the globe -from pole to pole, have penetrated the jungles of South America, the deserts of Africa, the ice. looked fastnesses of the Arctic region and the sacred lands of India in our determina- tion to secure everything weird, worthy and wonderful under the sun, we have still been enabled to stamp improvement on the wings of time, and this season we present a bewildering array of attraceions totally eclipsing the wildest imagination of won- derland ; %whirlwind of marvels, sweeping all our would-be imitators away with an ir- resistible impetuosity !" While the speaker paused for breath his hearers prepared themselves for the worst. "Our gigantic universal aggregation of consolidated wonders was the first show on earth to introduce a female lion tamer. The first year she performed with one lion, the next year with two, and so on till the tenth year, when she played with ten of them at once. Then she began the very hazardous proceeding,. which might be termed mixing her drinks, by bringing, tigers, leopards, etc, into her family ot brute monarchs, finally, during last season, she appeared in a mammoth enclosure and played with a number of lions, tigers, leopards, hyenas, crocodiles, boa constrictors, wild cats and rattlesnakes all at one and the same time. "The public unanimously declared that woman could do nothing more to demon- strate her utter fearlessness of the animal creation, but she has." • Every one held his breath awaiting the startling revelation about to be made.

(Hamilton Tame, J11110 305h, 1802.) "In the spring of 1887, while working on a building in Liverpool," said Mr. Churekt, "a scaffold on which I Was standing col- lapsed end fell te the pavement, a distance of forty feet. Bruised and bleeding, I Was picked up and conveyed to the Northern llospital, and not one of the doctors wile attended me held out any hope for my ultimate recovery. The base of my opine seemed to be smashed into a pulp, and the efforts of the medi- cal men were directed altogether towards relieving the terrible agony I suffered rather than towards curing my injuries. I had the conetitution of an mc though," ancl the speaker threw out his oheet and squared a pair of shoulders that would have done credit to a prince among athletes, "and as I seemed to have a tre- mendous grip on life the dootora took heart and after remaining. in that hospital forty weekri I was distharged as being as far recovered as I would ever be. 'For twenty-six weeks I had to lie in one posi- tion, and any attempt to place me on my back made rae &team with pain. Through eighteen months after my die:Marge I was unable to do a stroke Of work, and could with difficulty make my way about the house, and 'then only with the aid of crutches. Twice during that time I underwent operations at the hands of eminent Burgeons, who were amazed at the fact of my being alive at all after they had been informed of the extent of my injuries. Oa the last OCCaSion my back was cut open and it was discovered that the bones whittle had been shattered by my fall had, by process of time, completely overlapped each other, forming a kuuckle that you see hers," and Mr. Churoh showed the reporter a curious lump near the base of his spine. "Alt efforts to straighten those bones continued unavailing, and finally the doctors told me that in the course of a few months paralysis would set in and my troubles would be increased tenfold. Their predictions proved only too true and before long I was almost in as bad a condition as ever. ' No tongue can tell the pain I suf., fered as the disectie progressed, and eventu- I decided to come to America. So in 1890 I closed my affairs in England and on arriv- ing in Halifax, no done up was I wish the journey across the ocean, that I had to take to my bed and was kept a close prisoner for several weeks. Having a brother living at, Moorlield, near Guelph, I with difficulty accomplished the journey there and tried to do some work. My utmost exertions could accomplish but little, however, and as the result of my trouble, nervous prostration in its worst form assailed me. I remember once being overev.kere by a thunderstorm while about a mile away from the house, and while I was making ray way there I fall no less Shan eighe times, completely prostrated by -parbioularly vivid flashes of lightning or heavy jars of thunder. About a year and a half ago I came to this city and secured work at the Hamilton Forge Works but before long had to quit, be- cause 1 could not attend to my duties. I used to think that if I could only get a little sleep once in a while I would feel bet- tor, but even that boon was denied me. Night after night I tossed from aide to side, and every time my back pressed the bed the pain that shot through every limb was al- most unbearable. The doctors prescribed chloral and bromide of potash, and for weeks I never thought of going to bed at night without having first taken powerful doses of either of these drugs. Towards the last these doses failed to have the desired effect, and I increased the size of there. until I was finally taking thirty grains of potash and ten grains of chloral every night, enough to kill a horse. I became so weak that I could hardly get around, and my, lower limbs shook like those of a palsied old man. When everything seem- ingly bad failed me and I was about to give up what seemed a vain battle for life and health, my wife here read an am count in one of the newspapers of John Marshall's wonderful cure by means of Dr. • Williams' Pink Pills, and although I had lost all faith in any medicine I resolved to try once more ana accordingly immune a box of those little Pink Pills from Mr. Har- rison, the druggist, and commenced to Me them according to the directions. This was in October of last year. I had not taken them a week till I began to feel an hen:move- ment in my general health. In a month I slept every night like a baby. The pains left my back entirely, and by the beginning of the new year I could lie on my back for hours and never feel the slightest pain therefrom. Prior to taking the pills I suf- fered terribly with fits, many of them so severe that three or four men were required to hold me. The pine knocked those all out, though, and all the time I used them I did not have even the suspicion of a fit, and as for my weight, well, you will hardly believe it, but honestly, in that time I gained forty pounds. Well, to make a long story short, I went to work again a few months ago, this time in the Hamilton Nail Works where I went as shipper, and I have worked there steadily since the first day I went in. Last fell I was too weak to walk a mile, now I work from 7 a. in. to 6 p. m., and my work is no child's play either, I can assure you. I handle about 500 kegs of nails every day, and each keg weighs 100 pounds and has to be lifted a dietetic° of from five to six feet. All my renewed strength 1 ascribe to the use of Dr, William's Pink Pills, which I consider have worked wonders in my own case, For any- one troubled with nervousness, sleeplessness, or loss of strength in anyway,in znyopinien there is nothing in existence like those pine for restoring people who are nue afflicted. Yielding to the advice of friends, who claimed that my renewed health was not due to the Pilik Pills. I quit using them for about a neonth, bat the recurrence of those terrible fits warned me of my folly and I commenced tieing the pills again, and I will certainly neer be without them in She bowie." "Not if I know it, anyhow," remarked Mrs. Church. I know only too well the good they have done you, and you would hot have been anything like the man you are to.day if it had not been for those pills, and no one on earth know better than I how greatly you have been helped, nob not only you but others in the family Who were thought to be going into a decline before they were restored by taking those pills."

Mr. Memee Harrtion, of the arm replied ; " Well, yes, rather, A thousand boxes don't last long. You see our business is largely with men, women and girls em- ployed in the bag factories and mills in this locality, and the recommendations we hear from these people day after day, month after month, would indeed make the manu- facturer of those wonderful little pellets think he wae a benefactor of humanity. Several cases have corne under my own 'notice of women, poor, tired -out, over- worked creatures, being made "like unto new " by the use of these pills, and I see them passing to and from work daily and looking as though life was worth living, and well worth it too. In all my experience in the drug business I never saw anything like these pills," and Mr. Harrison related a number of cures that had cozne under his observation in addition to that of Mr. Church. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People contain in condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life and riolmess to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such dis- eases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, solittica,neuralgia,rheuma- tism, nervous headache the after effects of la grippe, palpitationgi the heart, pale and • sallow complexions, and the tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration; all diseases depending upon vitiated humors in the blood, Buell as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, eto. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as sup- pressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In the ease of men they effect a radical cure in all eases arising from mental worry, over.work or excesses of whatever nature. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville, Ont., and Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred, and the public are cautioned againet numerous imitations sold in this form) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company from either address. The price at which these pills are sold at makes a course of treatment comparatively inexpensive as cfompared with other remedies or medical treatment. Carlyle aad John' Bright. The following account of the first audited meeting of Carlyle and John Bright appears in "The Bookman." "Before and during the evening repast all went harmoniously. After it there was an adjournment to the drawing -room, where were Mr. and Mrs. John Bright. It was the first, and proved to be the last, meeting of the famous orator and the famous author. By some mischance the subject of negromlavery was brottehed, and almost forthwith the two celebrities plunged into unpleasant controversy. Carlyle passionately defended the peculiar institution in the strain with which his de- nunciations of Quashee made his readers afterwards familiar, asserting that negro emancipation had ruined the West Indies. John Bright as strenuously, but not as violently, denounced slavery, and averred that statistics showed the exports of produce from Jamaica to have increased, not diminished, since emancipation. The railway system was another bone of conten- tion, John Bright, of course, expatiating on the benefits which it had conferred on tre,de and manufactures, while Carlyle contended vehemently that it had dislocated and dis- organized much of the quiet industry of the country, clinching his argument by describ- ing the fate of some once prosperous Dumfriesshire watchmaker of his acquain- tance, whom he had found adrift in the world, and who 'ascribed his ruin to a new railway by which his customers were allured to traffic with watchmakers at a distance 1 An illustration this, by the way, of the " Kleinstadterei " which Emerson said that he had occasionally detected in Carlyle's conversation. Even in regard to the benefits of education the two disputants fell out, Carlyle opposing to hie adversary's estimate of them one of the sagacity and applicable knowledge of his now uneducated father, although the said father could not tell you of the bitter ale consumed in the City of Prophets.This was O hit at Thackeray, who in his entertaining record ot " Eastern Travel" (Mr. Mic.hael Angelo Titmarsh's journey from Cornhill to Cairo), had chronicled the joy which he felt when a oamel-load of Hodson's pale ale arrived from Beyrout at Jerusalem during his visit to that 4 City of Prophets !' When we had taken our leave and were wending on our way towards Manchester, Carlyle spoke regretfully of his vehemence, and ascribed the panful amine to the introduc- tion, with malice prepense, of controversial topics, seeming to blame for it a, certain junior of the party.. Which, however, was not among that junior's many sine." Ex -Mayor Robert &rade of Brookville, Ont., says: "I used Nasal for a bad case of catarrh, and it cured me after having ineffectually tried many other. remedies. It never fails to give nnmecliate relieve for cold in the head." This is the experience of thousands in all parts of the Dominion.

HOW MARBLES ARE RADE. Only the Very common Ones are ProduCed in Ibis Country. How many hue do you suppoee know where marbles are made and how they are enanufectured ? You have all heard of Germany, where Bismarck and Kaiser William live. Well, nearly all the marbles that rattle aroundd, and wear holes in the pockets of all little boys on earth are made in the State of Thuringia, Germany, On winter days the poor people who live in villages gather togethersmall eg nateatones plame them in mills somewhat like big col - fee mills, and grind them until they axe as round as so many bullets. The marbles mad in this way are the common china, painted china, glazed claims, imita- tion agates and black and white ballots. These are very cheap, ranging in price according to size, from ten to sixty for five cents. Imitation agates are made from white stone and are painted to represent, the pride of the marble player's heart—the real agate. The painted china marbles are of plain white stone with lines 'noising each other at right angles painted upon them. The ballots are little black and white marbles that look as though they would never stop rolling if once set in motion by a boy's thumb and forefinger. You will probably be greatly mummified to learn that glass alleys are blown by glass- blowers, at the town of Lausoha in Thurin- gia, Germany. The expert workmen take a piece of plain glass and another bit of red glass, heat them red hot, blow them to- gether, give them a twist and presto 1 there is a pretty alley with the red and white threads of glass twisted inside into the form of a letter S. Large twisted glees alleys wieh the figure of a dog or sheep inside are made for very small. boys and girls to play with. The marbles most prized by the young American of to -day are the real agates. These marbles are seal brown or black in color and many of them have large round circles on them that look like eyes. They sell for five, ten and fifteen. cents each, and the boy who has a real agate with a lucky eye peeping out at him from its glossy sur- face, is the enviecl one among the marble players. It is said that the only marbles made in America are the common wee, " conameys," that boys can buy a handful of for a penny.—New York World.

In talking with a number of men in Washington, from which city I have just come, says Webster Flannagan, of Texas, chanced to speak of one of them as a humor- ist. He begged me not to do so, as he said that he was ambitious to rise in the political world and did not wish to be hamperecl with the fatal reputation of a wit. Others took up the discussion, and all agreed that a reputation for humor was most fatale' any Congressman. One gentleman oit,ed the late Sunset Cox as an illustration. Cox was a man of great and varied abilities, and would have risen very high, indeed, had it not been that after he had made one or two humorous speechea no one would take him seriously. When- ever he got up to speak every one prepared to laugh, and nothing else would do. Proc- tor Knott effectually killed his influence by his famous Duluth speech; and I sbell never get over my playful remark in the Republican Convention. Reed is the only man noted for his wit who has ever auc- ceeded in being noted for anything elm— Si. Louis Globe -Democrat. An Odd Composition. Facts can be packed together sometimes in a way to convey another than the mean- ing intended. A person writing a letter from the west the other day described the ravages of a heavy hailstorm in his neigh- borhood, closing his screed with an &coolant of the personal sufferings of some of the unlucky once caught in the storm. One man, who wore very loose boots, had the legs of them so filled with hailstones that lie could hardily move. Another, a near- sighted person, had his glasses knocked off and was left th wander about in a semi - blind condition. , A third had his Bilk hat cut to pieces by the hailstones, and, as the correspondent hurried on to add in great haste and one sentence, "his head was covered with abrasions and great damage was done to live stock and crops in that section." The Summer Tea Table. The table appointments make the meal, and if you want to have your food appe- tizing do your beat to make the table at- tractive. If it is highly polished banish cloth and use in its place doylies ornapkins, but in any ease be sure your napery is fine and white. Employ as much glees as you can—nothing is prettier, and, if possible, have a few Rowers or a bit of greenery in a glass bowl at one end of the table. Dainty slices of ham, thin buttered toast, a dish of berries amid a border of green leaves, cake on a thin, oval plate, and tea with lemon is aupper that even the most fastidious will admit to be tempting if not very elaborate.
