MARG RET'S..JOURNEY.
He married er when he thought that of
all the pretty iris he had ever seen she, was
th lo liest. Her hair, rippling naturally
a a•y rem a b oad, white forehead, was of
a jleep chestm t, with a tinge of gold run-
ra g through its rich luxurience. Her eyes
w re "heave,own blue," fringed by long,
curling lashe . Ifer_ face was charming—
bright, piqua t and altogether beantiful.
ut they h d been married for twelve
y ars now,. a d with the possession of the
t ,ea,sure he mice deemed so indispensable to
hie happiness, his ardor and deviation had
somehow cooled. He loved her, n a
he grew so itoonstom d to see-
osite him every in ruing for
ears, so used to seeing her
hat the love and tenderness
of course, bu
ing her op
twelve long
every day,
with which she had once inspired him had
subsided into a quiet feeling ,.of possession.
Her fate was no worse than that Of thous-
ands of her married sisters ; for the ardent
Iver too often merges into the indifferent
husband. .
But Margaret Allison was no common
haracter. The ordinary d stractionS that
muse many women held i othing for her ;
nd, then, she had no child en. If a sunny -
aced child or two had corn to her in these
twelve years, she would ha e lavished some
f her affection upon them. I: ut none came ;
nd though , at 35 -years of age she was
till a beautiful woman, yet happiness was
I ot writrtm upon her face ; and the piquan-
cy and rilliancy that, he haraeterized it
in the old days, when,Rc•be t Allison made
1 er his wife, had soma° died out. He
did not mean to be unkixid, but he was a
Successful man, and deep y engressed in
business. He had fallen, to, into the habit
of vending his evenings at Ise " dub," anti
other places better suited to his taste than
his own fireside. Ile.was etgarded by the
men about town as a very lod fellow, but
at home he was taciturn &al silent, rarely
saying muelia and leaving hi wife to while
away the long hours of his Absence asebest
sh could.
'he used to wander throu h the brilliant-
ly- ighted rooms, somct.im� trailing over
th4 soft carpets- in her eve ing dress, and
wonder if. there was any° . i
e n the wide
wo ld so unhappy as herself. It would
hal% been easier • to bear i she had grown
indifferent, too, but thcehani some, careless
face was as dear, and clearer to her than it
had ever been, and she nevcr ceased long-
ing, with a sick, sad heart, i'or some word,
some expression from him to tell her that
he still loved her. But none ever came, and
they went their separate ways, daily -gnaw-
ing wider apart. Hewes thoughtful in one
way, however, and saw thatatthe wanted for
nothing. Her house was a 'perfectly ap-
pointed one, her gowns were faultless, and
her diamonds were exquisite—but she was
not happy- .
Her servants divested her of all tasks
that might have proved a wholesome
remedy for her unsatisfied cravings, for
homely occupations are performed some-
times by those who dream lofty dreams and
think noble thoughts all the better or the
clatter of the broom and dust -pan, aed the
energetic plying of industrious finger. But
there was nothing for her to do. 1 These
rich women are sometimes really more to be
pitied than their poorer sisters. After all,
all .stations in life have their compensa-
tions, and no one of them, however richly
environed, is perfectly happy. The exterior
may be fair enough, but the skeleton is
lurking Tout somewhere to mar its peace
and beauty.
They had been poor for the first year or
two. She used to think of -those old days
and wish,' with passionate . longing, that
they were poor again. Her hands were not
then, as now, sparkling with rings, and her
gowns were not rich silken ones., Her plain
wedding 'hind was all the jewelry she wore,
and she had made her dresses herself. Ah !
that had been.a happy time. Ile had not
been too busy or preoccupied then to talk
with her, and the little breakfasts she pre-
pared with he own hands were eaten mer-
rily together, easoned with Much love, and
feeling of comradeship tihat made thie.

of his life. e had a• pride, of course, i
her beauty, b t he had come to regard he
as more, a p rt of his household than as
warm, living, eeling woman. It never oc
curred to hi that he might brighten he
lonely life, - : e thought she ought to b
perfectly ham,. So evening after evening
found her alw ys alone, . What if the great
house -was bea 'tau], her servants attentive ?
That did not satisfy her. She wanted her
husband. She cared little for society, or
she might have found an occupation there.
But, in spite of her great beauty, she was
quiet and retiring. Yet everything was
clone to please Robert Allison that could be
word of her life. She would ot fail in her
done. She was always exquisitely gowned,.
because e wished her to be but that was
as fur as is interest in her w nt. The clays
were dev ted to his business, the evenings
to the fri nds whom he prefe red toeher.
The so itude he forced up n her might
have prov ii dangerous- to ot er won -en as
beautiful s she but Marge.re Allison was
as innode t and pure as a hild, and she
never forgot for a moment that she was
Robert's ife. Duty was th stern watch -

clad in splendid gowns' seemed to mock her
sad heart as she b yieldthe lonely reflection
of her face. What use ? she -thought bitter-
ly, better death than a lovelese, joyless ex-
istence, ne matter how gilded the cage.
But an event happened at this time that
changed the trend of Margaret's whole ex-
istence. An old, rich, widowed aunt of
Robert's came ta see her. The old lady's
e3 es were as bright as in her youth, and her
face, although old and wrinkled, was full of
-kindness and wisdom. Nothing escaped her
keen observation, made so by a whole life-
time of experience. She was on her way to
the old world, and only came to spend a
few days before sailing. With nolties to
bind her, mud plenty of money, the old lady
took delight in traveling about. NO one
place was her home, and she flitted about
as her fancy dictated. ' But, she was a very
good old lads', ancrfull of benevolence and
wisdom, for all that, and she had not been
in her nephew's house a week befOre she
understood pretty thoroughly how 'a natters
stood. She had never seen t Margaret be-
fore, but she fell in love with her st,raight.s every one did who knew the sweet -

Unprincipled per ons are trying to prey

for kidney treatme t.
Some of the methods adopted by imita-
tors are as follows: ,
First,—To imitate the size, color nd
shape of Dodd's Kidney Pills and sell th in
by, count.
Second,—To put them up to appeal. v ry
nearly the same and to be offered at he
sante price.
Third,—To hook on the word "kidne "
in iaming cathartic pills so as to incretse
sal s of mere physic,
ourth,-,---To give1name-so near to Pod 's ,
that unwary people may be deceived and
think they are gettiog Dodd'. I
Look out for such dodges. When you
