He has no Con- science left about doing his duty to an -admiring public, and the admiring pub- lic gets angry and wants its money back. Besides, Alexander the Great will surely kill himself if he goes on with whisky. Oh, he is a great trial, is Alexander? fie will wear his best clothes every day, BO it takes a mint of money to dress him.

And what do you do ?" asked Quen- tin of Nicolas. "I furnish the brains of the Consoli- dated Exhibition, I correct the coil - tames, I write the bills, I make the speeches, I play parts in the Penny Theatre. 1 am a. factotum." "I never sa.w a factotum before," said Quentin, "but I knew you were learned as soon as I heard you speak ; you use far larger words thsn the min- ister or Mr. Murdock. What does yon do?"

"Thomas distributes handbills, beets the drum, helps work the Unequalled 'European RenownedWax-Works,drives, tends the horses, sets up the tent. A very useful man is Thomas, but without enthusiasm." And do you like show lifer Is it nice ?" cried Quentin. "1 vette born in a show, brought up • in a show; I do my duty as becomes an honest showman. It is true I have my ideal. My ideal is not a show; my ideal is a small eating house with red half curtains and a pot of ivy on the deek—a house where a chop and a cup of tea good and reasonable could be had with the morning paper and a . canary -bird in a cage. I desire to have -in such an eating house a presiding gee nius who could cook a chop to a toren', an angel who understood potatoes and beefsteak and a veal pie. Sach is not my fate ; I shall die as I live—in a show." •"I hope you will," said Mistress Mar- gery, "for I never could manage Alex- ander the Great without you." Mistress Margery had been clearing away supper. It was six o'clock ; there would stilt be four hours' light. "I think," said the dame, " thet I will examine the Unequaled and Re- nowned ; they must be ready for Cal- lender." Tho:nas and Nicolas took from the van two large boxes and opened them. One seemed filled with bundles of pa- per.

Quentin was frozen,: with horror. Margery, seated on the turf, with a work basket at her side, said to him, "Led, hand- me yon head with the long hair. What's the matter? Are you going to faint ?" " Whaur — got you — sae mony— holds ?" stammered Quentin. " Belshazzar ! he thinks they are real ?" shouted Nicolas. " I will put it in a placard 1" Margery laughed till she cried. Even Thomas laughed, saying apologetically, that he had not laughed for five years. "What are they?" insisted Quen- tin. "They are the Unequalled European Renowned Waxworks. And that. head I told you to give me is the Emprees Josephine led to execution.—Find me her body, Nicolas ; I muat make her a new gown." " Margery," said Nicolas, solemnly, " I wish- you would read history-. It was not the empress Josephine that was led to execution; it was Queen Marie Antoinette." "1 don't see as it makes much differ- ence. What is in a name?" said Mar- gery, unconsciously quoting Shakes- peare. "As to reading, I never read anything ; I would read a cook -book if • I had it.

She wore 0 white dress, and a white cap, both dirty and shabby." 'We must have some respect for our- selves," said Margery. "No one would come to a wax -show of beggarly clothes; they can see them in any of the wynds. If you want her dressed in white, I can take the wedding - dress of Queen Viettoria ; I think it would be more popular to show Queen Victoria in her nursery holding the princess -royal on her knee.—Boy, see if you can hunt me out a little child's head with yellow hair." "I approve of that," said Nicolas; "it will -be a good moral lesson to mothers who visit our show. But I en- treat you, Margery, to consider that a • A Song of the Season.

That Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicaedwithLiver Complaint, is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway Centre, Mich.: — " Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and came near wain, -1a3r existence. For more than /our -years -I suffered untold agony, was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me,_and only the most delicate could be digested at all. Within the time mentioned several physicians treated me without giving re. lief. Nothing that I took seemed. to do any permanent good -until I commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take the Barsapae rills I could see an improvement in my condition. My appetite began to return and. with it came the ability to digest all the food taken, my strength lute ,proved each day, and after a few months of faithful attention to yOut directions, I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties. The medicine has given inc a new lease of life." , The weather has been very mild diiring the last month, and, as a consequence, we have a few pieces of Worsted, Melton and Nap Over - coatings in various shades left over, and have decided to let them gia at greatly reduced rates rather than hold them over till next fail, and. allow them to become shop worn.
