Ali, there was a fate ! To be mindie‘s while the body lived on Poer old man 1 He (`` the wicked neWiew teti wept over him. Photographed ? Y* es, certainly ; that is, if old Marco would -allow it. (Here the nephew laughed. heartily.) If he would not allow it, we might as well at- tempt to take a fortified tower. As we were not rieh enough to buy ehapels, or the walla of chapels, we de- cided to have, if possible, our angel pho- tographed. although it seemed in a cer- tain sense like desecration. But when we, proposed it to Marco he went into eue, of his cold, fieace rages, and said it should not be, and that he would not admit the photographer. He was as good. as his word, and although we brought the man there three times, and eahausted ourselves with sentreaty and bribes, he refused to open the door, and we remained outside in company with nearly all the inhabitants of the Via Lorenzini, assembled to see the siege. The summer heat was increasing, and a witzerland was awaiting us ; but we longed for our angel. At last Lucy and I thought of another plan. We took with us to the old palace a copyist, an English girl who had a peculiar skill in catching the most delicate shades of ex-, pression. We introduced her, some- what deceitfully, as " a friend," and then, while she was at work, we took turns in asking old Marco to "ex- plain the pictures " to us in the somber reams below. This he was always ready to do ; and the ruse succeeded admirably until one day when he stole up -stairs without letting us know, and, cowing stealthily in behind the English girl, looked at her work over her shoulder, and then, suddenly stretching out his hand, seized it and dashed it to the ground. Her frightened cry brought us to the scene, where we found her half fainting with terror, and Marco stamp- ing on the copy. "But we copied it too, Marco,"I said, trying to soothe him. "You tried," said the old man, with a withering scorn, for the first time using the second person in addressing us. "Bat no one would ever have known your copies 1" My brother was not with us that day, and we three women had to go: he would not allow as to stay longer. And I think, on the whole, we were rather glad to reach the street again. But the next morning we went back, reinforced by Edward and an abundance of gifts; even the English girl was faSeinated by our angel. Old Marco admitted us. He was no lonecr angry; there was a look of indif- ference on his face which made us hope that he had forgotten it all. But through the whole of both the long vistas of empty rooms he made us go, while he gave again his minute description of all the vanished paintings, a description V. !deli was never varied by so much as a new comma. We did not are to inter- rupt him lest it should rouse his wrath again ; and so we held our peace and went through the ordeal as graciously as we could. At last it was over: of his own accord he pointed down the cor- ridor. "The door is opeh," he said. " He was not going with us, then," we mutely signaled to each other. Better and better." And we went on. But—alas! alas ! when we reached the chapel our beautiful angel was gone. hIly a gaping blank,remained where her lovelinees had been. We exclaimed and deplored; we were eagry. Lucy sat down on the step of the altar and cried. I think my own eyes were a 'little wet too ; for it was like the death f an old friend. \Ve heard a step comiug down the cor- ridor. Old Marco appeared at the door. " Yen will not rob the Marchese hs' !" he said, with his cold smile. The "wicked nephew" only laughed v. lien he heard it, and turned to his vegetables again. "Truly," he said, old Marco is a delightful old original ! ()ie could never tell syhat he would do leeete" 10th of May, 1880. I arrived in Florence last evening, and I have just come from the Palazzo Accolti. It has leen turned into a middle-class lodging, ;Ir rather apartment, house, and every reorn was full, even old Marco's cell. Partitions had been put up in the large drawing -rooms; the chapel was a kitchen. I inquired for old Marco; he had died the year before. His son, coming on St. John's Day as usual, had found the door unlocked and his father lying on his pallet -bed, which he had brought down into the large hall, in erder, he said, " the better to guard the pictures." He seemed to suffer no pain ; hut, with his son sitting by his aide, he had passed away at midnight, quiet and conscious, hut silent to the last. I turned away; but the vender of lamps, whose shop was now further down the street, had recognized me, and came forward, eager to finish the tale. Tile old Marchese had died only a month before the death of the keeper; and he-, Raffaello, vender of lamps, considered that the one event caused the other. What would you! The Palazzo was to be sold ; had not the sale already been proclaimed ? Could old _Marco live elsewhere ? Could his feet learn how to walk in other rooms, or his eyes to see iu-'t er air? Manifestly not, as there eve neace must see. There had been a funeral—yes, a worthy one : Marcos son was a pious and patieut soul. But old Marco himself—all. ! there Was a madness ! But, if their excellence was in haate, he most humbly effaced him- self and, with- all good wishes _ and Me -sings, gave to their excellence good - dzty. A Powerful Remedy. In the village of 0 ---,. in Central New York, lives a sharp-tongued old baeleder whom I lytve known for twen- ty-five years as " Uncle Jahn.- Uncle John something of a character about town. and not destitute of Yankeewit and shrewdness. He used to make and vend ie an amateurish wag a certain colleen mixture,the merits of which he preaehed to his friends with great en7 thusiasin, warranted the remedy ta-cure any eeid in twenty-four hours " or no par." One of his old friend, whom we will call Ike, being atliieted with a severe coughing coid, Uncle John used his best efforts in argument,' peva uaeion , and finally vehement andprofane scold- ing, to get him to try the remedy. But Ike could not be induced to "chance it." Not long after this. Uncle .rolin caught hard cold hitnself, which- was accompane ied by a most distressing cough that shook his poor old frame unmercifully. It did not, however, prevent _his coming down -town and " settiu'," as he calied it, in Ike's market. The cold 'hung on for a week or more, aiad the cough had grown no better. Finally one day Ike resolved to brave Uncle john's sharp tongue, and tease him a little :about his failure to rid himself of the cold, and the following.dialogue ensued. . You are to understand that Uncle john's re- plies were interrupted with Violent coughing: " John ?" "What yer -want ?" "Got a bad cold, ain't ye ?" " Yes ; got the wust ever had 'n my life." "Hangs on pretty bad, don't it ?" " Yes, ; beats all h—t." Hesitatingly, "Why don't you try some o' y'r cough med'cine you wanted to sell me ?" "1 thought mebbe y' was fool 'nough ter ask that', question ; d'yer spose I want ter live forever?" — Harper's Monthly. • Makin a Preacher of' Ike. 1 ain't much at tellin' a story, and I can't talk as glib as I'd like, For I didn't swallow no dictionaries like my col- lege -bred brother—that's Ike. The old people always had kept me a peggin' away like a mule, While Ike learned his grammar and classics in the big university school. And crammed his head full of book knowledge, while father paid all of the fees By the selling of turnips and barley, by the sell- ing of wheat and of peas. He said I was too muddle headed to bother with books and the like, But he'd try and d� well by the family by inakin' , a.preacher of Ike. " So brother he went to the college, and I slaved away on the farm Ashelpin' to pay for his schoolin', and things went along like a charm Till I fell dead in love with my Molly, and thought we would wed in the fall. - Then I found we had nothin' to start with, for the_preacher had taken it al!. So I spoke bitter words to the old folks for keep - in' me slavity so long To pay for my brother's book4larnin' though I knew at the time it was wrong • • And -I said things that day to the old folks that I shudder to think about now, And I !eft 'em alone on the homestead with no one to help 'cin to plow. Then I searched for a place in the city, where I might earn enough to lay by A little each week„till I'd salted sufficient for Molly and 1; . So I hunted, and hunted, and hunted, but I couldn't get nothin' to do,. And I'd died if it wasn't for Molly—twas her cheerfulness carried me through. Then a letter came down from the old folks that heaped coals of fire on my head, Savin' that, as they couldn't give money, I could have half the old farm instead ; s„ But they wanted their boy. to come to 'ern,and live near 'ern and help 'cm to plan, But instead I sold what they had given, and that's when their troubles began. Well, Molly and me we got inarried when the !eaves was a-flutterin' down, And I went into big speculations a-buyin' up lots in the town, , Buildirt houses and rentin' and sellin' and before a three year had gone o'er, I found I was fast makin' riches, for my Money had trebled and more. One day when I came home to dinner, Moll hand- ed a letter to me, -And when I had read it my eyesight was so dim that I scarcely could see, . For it told me the old folks were beggars and the farm had been taken away; That the mortgage had eaten and eaten, till it swallowed the hull of the clay. My father was sick at a neighbor's; an•d mother she worked by the day ; They was too proud to ask me to help 'cm the rest of the mortgage to pay. Brother Ike he had {bristled his schoolin,', and was preachilf around any-where— Why, bless you, he couldn't a kept 'em for he hadn't a penny to spare. His work was the work of the spirit, and he gl caned in, the harvest of God, A-pointin' and vitin' of sinners to turn from the way that is broad, While them that had paid for his larnine hy giv- ing him all they had made Were paupers, and maybe a-dyin' then iny- conscience began to uphrad. So I started to go to iny fathci, like the Prodigal Son did of old, - Only father had all of the husks now, while; car- ried all of the gold. And I found him, but only to hear hifu say, faintly : " I'm goin' home, Mike, . But I tried to do well by the family by inakin' a preacher of Ike." My brother stood there at his pillow, and when all was over and done We knelt, and he pra‘ ed such a piltver that the light of a heavenly euri Seemed to light up ins heart with a glory that it never had felt there before, And a blessing ceeine down while he asked it like it did to Elijah ot yore. So now we are workirig together In a kind of un- - orthodox way; Ike goes to the poverty-stricken, and f furnish all of his pay, lie is doin' his dutyle father in a line he must certainly like ; As for mother and me, well, we're glad that we I helped make a preacher of lice.. • W.

The bronze statue of Lincoln in Lin- coln Park, at Chicago, was unveiled two months ago. The figure faces the long vista down Dearboro Avenue. It is 114, feet in height, and stands upon a cubi- cal pedestal of granite. This pedestal and its bases stand in the centre of a wide granite platform, elliptical in out- line, 60x30 feet across. This platform is surrounded by a granite balustrade, running around theinner side of'which is a seat carved in easy lines to fit the huinan figure. The balustrade is open at the south, where a broad flight of steps leads irito the inclosure. Cut in the stone at one side of the entrance are the wards of Lincoln : " Let us have faith that Right makes Might, mid in that faith let us to the end dare to do Our duty as we understand it." At the other side is this : " With malice -to- ward none, with charityfor all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to know the right, let us strive on." Lin- coln rests -upon the right foot, and the left is a little way advanced. The right arm is behind the back, the left holds the lapel of the coat, the head is in- clined forward, and the eyes cast down. This attitude is said to have been one usual with Lincoln, when he was listen- ing and thinking. The open coat, the breadth which the position of the arms gives to the tall figure, the heavy chair behind it, serve to relieve the long form of its ungainly proportions. The fig- ure's plainness is relieved by the ornate work on the massive chair. An eagle with expanded wings is carved in low re- lief upon the back, the legs end in lion's claws, and Roman; fasces form the sides of the seat. Upon the arches between the legs are pine cones, oak and palm leaves. IMPORTANT NOTICES. HOUSE TO RENT.—A good house to rent - hard and soft water convenient.

You have been fairly diligent and passably patriotic, but some of you are signally remiss in attention to your personal appearance. Each of you should_ be the first man in the Ward. You form local opinion to a Certain extent and guide it. You pilot them on the path they are to walk for the benefit of the community and incidental- ly of themselves. But you have a higher and nobler duty to per- form. You have to educate the tastes of the masses.' Now I ask some of you-enore in sorrow than in anger—can this be done effectually in your present condition? Can you appear before your clients in ancient head -pieces, and antediluvian cut coats, calcu- lated to evoke such remarks as " Oh what.' a Beaver !" "Luk at the sthyle av his coat !" -" Shoot the hat," etc., and expect 3 our words to carry to my Lords and Gentlemen S In this case one example is worth a thousand precepts, and when the example only costa 82 and upwards—in the.shape of a new hat or suit —it is doubly your duty. By a stra.nge-co-incideriee I find 1 have a large stock of hats and caps, suitings, overcoatings, underclothing and gents furnishings to he sold through January away below cost. : J. I/V.

It is Absurd For people to expect a cure for indiges- tion, unless they refrain froin eating what is unwholesome ; but if anything will sharpen the appetite and give tone to the digestive organs, it is Ayer's Sar- saparilla. Thousands all over the land testify to the merits of this medicine. Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of 248 Eighth street, South Bose on, writes: "My hus- band has taken Ayer's Sarsaparilla, for Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has been greatly benefited." A Confirmed 0 yspeptie. C. Canterbury, of 141 -Franklin st., Boston, Mass., writes, that, suffering for years from Indigestion, he was at last induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla and, by its use, was entirely cured. Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street, Holyoke, Mass., suffered for over a year from Dyspepsia, so that she could not eat substantial food, became very weak, and was -unable to care for her family. Neither the medicines prescribed by physicians, nor any of the remedies advertised for the cure of Dyspepsia,, helped her, until she commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla,. "Three bottles of this medicine," she writh_Sa " cured me." Ayer's Sarsaparilla PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Priee $1; six le ulee, Worth $5 a bottle.
