Did , "Vey con Dios !" Enterprise and
romance carried the day. Nan had said
she would never be able to decide. In
reality she decided in ten minutes.
a-. The decision once made, Nan -.was, in
high spirits. It is something to ht4ve,
ones' future, settled ; and then ?Lie ( oes'

or three months are always so Itasant
that even, putting the parting out of the
auestion, you are sorry to have them
come to an end. The misery is, they do
come to an end; and as you begin to
realize what that means --and you can-
not arrest time --you almost think it
would be a relief to hasten it. It is
such misery to look even at things in-
animate you have grown familiar with,
and to think you will see them no more.
Bat what is that compared to looking at
the faces you have known and loved all
your life—and know that while they are
to remain in the dear old places, you are
to be borne off into a new and untried
WOrld. How the last weeks hasten !
how the last days fly I
Nan's last week catne—her last Sun-
day. Once again she sat in her corner
of the old pew—crimson once more.
And as to drowning people there comes
in an instant the memory of all their
past life, so there seemed to be flashed
before Nan's eyes and heart all the days
of all her years in Strathlowrie.
How grand she used to think the old
church! She knew better now: she
knew by books and pictures, and what
she had heard from others, that it was
not simply plain, but hideous.
for supper. In six weeks' time ehe was
free from the heaves, gained flesh, and
was more handsome in shape. I kept
her a year and I saw nothing of the
heaves. I sold her to go on a stage, and
she ran there two or three years, but I
did not hear anything about heaves. She
cost me $40 and I sold her for $100.

When once that height was won.
I sometimes thought me almost there,

And proudly through the streetk I'd bear

It was just a great square room. The
main passage ran the wrong way. A
mahogany -colored gallery was supported
on green "marbleized"columns, on
which the eyes of Rorie Sanderson, the
precentor, rested fondly as he sang.
Rorie painted all the week, as he sang
on Sunday, and the " marbleizing " was
considered his masterpiece. On one side
of the passage was a row of " table -
Beate," where the communicants sat on
the semi-annual sacramental occasions,
and where all the rest of the year the old
country people loved to congregate.
There was old Donald, Bible in hand,staff
and bonnet at his side, Laddie doubtless
waiting at the church door. There
was Merron's kind old face, still framed
in the snowy match, now with the hood
of the brown cloak drawn over it. You
might look the whole length of the
" table -seats," and over a great part of
the church besides, and see never a bon-
net. The enclosure for the elders was
high above the ordinary seats; the pre-,
centor towered above the elders, while
the minister was nearer the ceiling than
the floor. Nan knew how it felt to be
even at that perilous eminence. She
remembered the days when Audrewina
cleaned, and Tory and herself were, by
turns, every one of the dignitaries.
There were the Camerons and other
county families in high pews like the
minister's, but much grander. There
were the Campbells in the cerner exact-
ly opposite thene Nan had still a great
love for Sophy, but what was that now
compared to what she felt for even the
least loved within the Manse? Here
were the dear old Macalasters at her
side. They had taken the kindest in-
terest in her going, and had lavished
gifts upon her until the minister told
them he would send back the very next
article that came. Nan's heart was
especially tender to Tory. The latter,
indeed, had changed much, and Nan
fancied she began to see in her young,
beautiful face a little of the wistful look
she still remembered so we I. Since
Nan's earliest recollection, almost, they
had never been a day apart, and now
they were never to be together again—
never, certainly, as they- had been. A
terrible fear was uegiuning to dawn
upon poor Nan. She was bidding them
all good -by forever.
Oh, it she could only keep back the -
tears till she get safely into the Manse,
they might come in a flood if they
would. She held out bravely. She tried
not to think, or to think only of funny
things. She saw Daft Geordie's dismal
face turned to their pew, but though she
forced herself to think over all the ridi-
culous things he had ever done, she had
ceased to think them laughable. Would
she ever laugh again? They were sing-
ing Baterms.—a simple air, surely, yet.
Kirsty-Pelson's mother was performing
unwritten accidentals, making all sorts
of little detours where no one dared fol-
low,and then as unexpectedly descand-
ingto Rorie's key and note. It was far
beyond even Mrs. Poison's usual efforts,
and Tory gave Nan a look that said as
much. Nan tried to smile in response,
but instead put down her head on the
high table and wept bitterly. It was
one of Nan's greatest misfortunes that
she never saw things as they were. She
either made them better or worse. Be-
fore the revulsion came she had felt her-
self a sort of princess setting out to take
possession of her kingdom; and Toras's
fate seemed humdrum in comparison.
Now Tory was the princess, kept safe
and happy in the beautiful enchanted
land whence she was forever shut out. Lord'prayer in Oireland and we have

merchant who is not acquainted with
the blowing -up trick conies to buy a
a camel, the dealer takes two tubes, each
a -yard long, and, inserting one end of
each in the small tubes just described,
through the other ends two Arabs blow
with all their might, until theanimal
has attained the requisite degree of
plumpness. The infliiting tubes are
then withdrawn, and the air is prevent-
ed from escaping by means of a cork
smeared wit -h pitch. The poor camel
now becomes, apparently, quite lively
and frisky, trying to throw itself on the
ground or to press against a wall or a
tree, or whatever other object may be at
hand, so as toget rid of the wind. It
is generally too well watched by the ras
catty Arab to succeed in accomplishing
its purpose. Sometimes, -however, it
manages • to elude his vigilance; and
then, if the cork is not very securely
fastened.the windescapes with a whistle
like that of a steam-engine, and the flee -
looking beast suddenly collapses into
the miserable object it really is.—Among

This and That.
—Clarksburg is said to be the only
town in Massachusetts that has no house
for religious worship.
—An English exiferimenter finds that,
contrary to general opinion, a growth
of Ivy over a house renders the interior
entirely free from moisture; the ivy ex-
tracts every possible paa'ticle of moisture
from wood, brick, or stone for its own
sustenance, by means of the tiny roots,
which work their way into even the
hardest stone.
—In one of the funny little romances
by which contemporary keeps the pub-
lic informed of its merits, the hero is
made to iste,a1 money enough to continue
.his subscription to that paper. Whether
the disposition to unlawful appropria-
tions of money whica is referred to in
the romance as eminently commendable
had been developed through -habitual
reading of the coveted paper is a matter
upon which the public must form its
own opinions. As an illustration of the
effects of pernicionS- literature upon the
young mind the romance in question is
singularly apt.
It may be interesting to note that an
expression which by many is regarded
as vulgar slang has really the high class-
ical authority of the Bible. It is Job
(ix, 20)aho exclaimes in his anguish :
"lam escaped by the skin of snY teeth."
Some common sayings, such as "God
tempers the wind to the shorn Iambi"
-"Pouring oil on the troubled waters,"
"The war horse scents the battle from
afar," etc, -are Supposed to be in the
Bible, though not so. But there are not
many who, in using the expression of
hanging on or being saved by the "skin
of their teeth," know the high authority
for its use.
—A woman of fine complexion has ad-
mitted that it is due to the milk in the
cocoanut. Her formula is this: Take a
fresh cocoanut, grate it, place it in a
cloth, and squeeze out the milk. Wash
the face and hands with the liquid, rub-
bing a great dear, the more the better,
and wipe with a soft cloth. The effect
is wonderful and instantaneous.
—A negro tramp called on a dentist
in Mansfield, Massachusetts, the other
day and asked him to extract a pin from
the back of his neck. The dentist sent
the man to a surgeon, who by hard pull-
ing took out a big brass shawl pin. The
negro said that he had thrust it into his
neck to :cure ringworm. The pin had

What Push can Accomplish.
The first experience of a millionaire
merchant of Philadelphia on his arrival
in this country aptly illustrates what
push can accomplish. When he stepped
ashore from the sailing vessel, he said,
"I"was without money or friends. I
spoke to a man on the wharf, and asked
him what to do. He replied, Work,
young man. Have you: any motto?'
'No,'I said. 'What do you mean?'
He said, 'Every man must have a mot-
to. _ Now think of one. Go out and
hunt for work.'
"I started, thinking of a motto. As
I ‘salked along the street I saw painted
on a door the word 'Push.' I said
That shall be my motto.' I did 'Nish
at that door, and entering an office I
was asked what wanted. I said
Work ; and the word" on your doer
gave me not only a motto, but confi-
dence.'
"My Manner pleased the man. He
asked me many questions, all of whic
were answered promptly. He said tit
last: I want a boy of ' "push," and as
you have adopted that for your motto, I
will try you: '
• " He did. I.\13T success .followed, and
the motto that made my fortune will
make that of others."
The .word is old, short and crisp, but
it expresses everything, and has carved
out fortune and fame for hundreds of
thousands of poor and obscure boys.—
Dry Goods Chronicle.
Politeness vs. Truth.
Florence is a Very pretty little girl,
also politic. Ah awful '.old woman, one
of the chief niembers in her father's
church, called onb day, and said to her
brother, " You love me, don't you,
Wilson ?" and the truthful little fellow
reluctantly said, 1" No."
" Oh yes, I ant sure you must love me
a' little ; don't you ?"
The poor child faltered out that " no-
body could love her ; she was such a
cross old woman.
In great indignation she turned to
Florence, and asked her the same ques-
tioD,..and that young lady ran to her,
hugged and kissed her, and. said she
loved her as hard as she could.
Wilson looked -on in 'amazement, and
when Mrs. Irisb. was gone, said, " Zizzie
_ you truly love her ?" and the four-
year old sister replied, "Course I don't;
-1 fink she is a. horrid old woman ; but
'tisn't p'lite to tell her so.".
"But, Zizzie, you told a bad story."
"Don't care if 1 did; I was a little
lady."

To Save Life
Frequently requires prompt action. An
hour's delay waiting for the doctor may
be attended with serious consequences,
especially in cases of Croup, Pneunionia,
and other throat and lung troubles.
Hence, no family should be without a
bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
which has proved itself, in thousands of
cases, the best Einergancy Medial/1a
ever discovered. Ii gives prompt relief
and prepares .the way' for a thorough
cure, Nvhich, is eerthin to be effected by
jt COiltilltled us'.
M. D., Mt. Vernon:,
- says: " I hal.c lomat Aser's Cherry
Pectoral a perfect (sure for Croup in all
ea-tes. I have known the worst cases
relieved in a verv short time by its use;
and I advise all families to use it in sud-
den emergencies, for coughs, croup, 86c."
Eidson, M. TY., Middletown,
saivs " I have used A,yer's
Cherry Pectoral with the host effect in
my practice. This wonderful prepara-
tion once saved my life. I had a con-
stant. cough, night sWeats, was greatly
reduced in flesh, .and given up by my
physician.. One bottle and a half of the
1)ectoral cured me."
" I cannot soy enough in praise of
Ayer's Cherry Peett•ral," writes E.
Bragdon, of Palestine. Texas, " believ-
ing as I do that, bat for us use, I should
long since have
