BY ISABEL LUM8DEN IIARROWES: "If ye hadne married me, Robert, you might have had a chance, but what can you do handicapped evi' a wife and two bairns ?" _ " More than I could the other way, sure- ly," returned the map cheerily, as he locked his young wife in a tond embrace. "The fact that I have you and them to work for will nerve me to higher endeavor than if I had but myself alone." "I know you will be a great man yet,// she returned proudly, looking up at him with adoring eyes, " but if we had waited the struggle would not have been so sharp, only," she added, with a wistful little smile, "you would never ;have married me in that case." " Would I not ?"(he asked. "And, pray, how do you arrive at that conclusion?" " Ye would hae Seen that I whine fit, an' ye would have got some grand lady sble to take her place alengside of you. Fancy me mistress of a manse t" she broke off, with a little laugh. " A fancy that khan be a fact if I live," he replied firmly, with a look of determina- tion on his face that his wife knew how to interpret. "Do you really think ?" she began breath- lessly. "Sit down here," he said, "until we talk it over," and seating himself in the arm- chair by the kitchen fire he drew her down on his knee. She rested her hand lightly on his shoulder, and looked attentively in hie face, while he continued— " I met Baxter to -day, and he said there wasn't a minister in town could hold an audience as I did last night, and the upshot weis he offered me that mission with a salary of £70 a year, provided I went to college this corning session." " And you accepted ?" she questioned eag.eisTrlyot. decisively," he replied. "I waited to see what you would say. He expects to secure for me a presentation buraary of £20, so that you could have my salary wholly for housekeeping ; but it is only fair to tell you that this morning I was offered a fore- man's place with £150 a year at the foundry. So, Beth, my darling, it remains for you to decide," and he watched her anxiotudy, al- though in his heart he lhalf-guessed what her decision would be. " The money may be tempting where there are little ones," she began slowly, " but what is money compared with the power of doing good, and if the call has come, who am I that I should stand be- tween you and your Master ?" " Weigh the metter well, Beth," he urged. "Mind the struggle -will be yours entirely." She kiseed hia forehead. "Then I will struggle through the eight years," she said gravely, " for the old Gospel's bein' pushed aside for the sake o' man-made doctrines, but yell uphold the faith an' declare the whole counsel of God to poor perishire' sin- ners." The following day the young engineer commenced the work which from the hour of his conversion had been dearest to- his heart, for Robert Murray had not always been the earnest mau he was now. Four years before he had married Elizabeth Gor- don, a ssveet, gentle girl, whose influence from the first had been for good, but her happiness had not been quite complete until two years ago, when he had turned aside frorn the path of wordly pleasure to seek with her the pleasures that endure for- evTerfie eight years spent between arta and theology were years of hard work for Robert Murray, but for the young wife the struggle was harder still. Her naturally delicate constitution was ill fitted for the tear and wear of everyday life, and the 'continual anxiety that straitened means entailed. The children, too had inherited their mother's delicacy, and sickness was seldom absent from their home, but session succeeded ses- sion, and every year added to Robert, Mur - ray's popularity. " Your husband is a perfect genius," the patient toiler was told again and again, and her face glowed with pleasure, and she struggled bravely on. "Beth, my love, the fight is over at last," announced Robert, bunting into the house one evening with the old boyish enthueiasin. "I've got a kirk, and you'll get a rest now," and he kiseed her again and again, Then a sudden pang went through his heart as he caught the toil -hardened handa in his and noticed how thin the wrista had grown. The blue eyes glowed with excitement, and a hectic spot burned on either cheek. " Ole Robert !" was all ehe'said, and, hid- ing her face on his shoulder, she burst into teaHrse. stroked her soft, dark hair tenderly. " My poor wee lassie," he murmured. "The strain has been too severe, but we'll leave the bairns with mother and lave a tour together in the summer." Beth smiled up through her tears. "Oh, you isilly Bob, where could I be so happy as at home?" she asked. " But I am tired," she added. "If I could Only sit for a week or two dein' nothing an' get dinners withoot cookin' them, or even knowin' what they were made o', would soon be better." Robert laughed, and whirled her raund the room in his arms. "If that's your ambieion it can soon be gratified ; for three months yeu shall sib ab- solutely still, and do absolute y nothing but let others serve you." A fortnight later Robert, M rray was or- . at the social ife was intro - the congrega- doaned to his new charge, and meeting which followed, his duced to most of the ladies of gat ion.

We all covet :strength and admire it. look at the marvelous muscular develop- tuent of a Sandow with envy and straight- way resolve to buy a pair of dumb bells and get strong, as if the secret of etrength lay in muscles. Strength begina in the stomach. It begins there because there the strength el ements are manufactured, an d from there they are distributed to bloOd, bone, brain, muscle and nerve, If you want to begin to be strong, start with the stom- ach. Fut the digestive and nutritive o r - gans and blood making glands in perfect working order. That is the foundation of strength, Exer- cise puts on the 'superstructure of develop- ment. To establish the stomach and the diges- tive and nutritive functions in perfect health, there is no medicine so sure and so satisfactory as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It strengthens the stomach, enriches the blood, nourishes the nerves, and regulates the functions of every vital organ of the body. " About twelve years ago I was suddenly taken vrith a pain in the pit of the stomach which wag so violent I could not walk straight," writes 0. S, Copenhaver Esq. of Mount Union, Huntingdon Co., Pa., Wiz 222;, " It would grow more severe until it caused waterbrash and vomiting of a slimy yellow water. I consulted a physician and he told me I had a form of dyspepsia and treated me for about six months with but little benefit. I still kept getting so weak I could scarcely walk. I then tried another phyeician and he told me my liver was out of order and that I had indiges- tion. He gave me a treatment and I got some better but only for a short thne, I then took to using several widely advertised patent medi- cines, but received no more than temporary relief while using. I then tried Dr. Pierce's medicines, using his ' Golden Medical Discov- ery,' ' Favorite Prescaption ' and the Pleasant Pellets,' and in two months' time I was feeling better than I had for years before, I can truth- fully say Dr, Pierce's medicines did me more good than any I had ever taken," Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, roo8-pages, illustrated, is sent free or 31 one - cent stamps (cost of customs and ni fling only) for paper edition, or 5o stamps for ed tion bound in cloth. Dr. R, V. Pierce, Buffalo, . Y. We shall expect -you to presideg re. Mur- ray," said the banker's wife, a gay, flighty looking individual. Beth crimsoned and then paled, and her husband, as he rested his hand earessingly on her shoulder, felt her tremble. " You must exouse my wife fiom taking part in any church work for six months at least," he said, decisively. " She has been in very weak health lately, and I must see her stronger first." Mr's. Deane glanced significantly at the laird's daughter. -" You will be allowed to keep your honors for some time st, then, Miss Douglas " she said, flippant! . _ ,. , Emily Douglas turned to the minister's wife. . il"I should be only- too pleased sto resign e ' honors,' ass -Mrs. Deane cells them, ere you fit for them, Mre. Murray ; but I agree with the.minister, your health is the first thing. May Ioall for you toariorrow ? I am sure a drive would do you rod were the weather fine." . A gratified look overspread Robert Mine ray's face as he accepted for his wife, for the colonel's, daughter was the most distin- guished lady in the congregation, and with her on their side he had no fear of winning the rest. Poor man, he knew' little of women's cliques and jealousies ! , " The man's a genius, but how he came to marry such a nobody I can't imagine," re- uhsrked the doctor's wife to Mrs. Deane, as Miss Douglass entered the church hall the following evening. "That same nobody has a braver heart than many of (air scecalled somebodies, I fancy," said EmilY Douglas. "But for her Robert Murray had not been in the position he is in to -day." " Oh, he would, and muclesooner. It's A shame to see him tied down to such a wo- man when he might have had the pick of our heiresees," said Mrs. Deane, with a sig- nificant smile. Emily drew hereelf up haughtily. "MT. Murray has got what wealth cannot pur- chase—a noble, pure souled wife," she re- plied • " but now let us to business." " Vihat day do you intend calling at the manse?" asked the doctor's wife, as she and Mrs. Deane left the hall with Miss Douglas an hour later. _ " Oh, I don't know. I suppose if we ask him to dinner we Anal have to ask her too, but really I arn almost afraid to invite any- one to meet them. She is -a typical work- ing man's wife. A man may rise, but a woman never does. Haven't you noticed that yourself, Miss Douglas ? ' and Mrs. Deane turned to that lady with a gracioue smile. , " Yes, I have noticed it," replied Emily, calmly. " A vulgar woman will be a vulgar woman, no matter what sphere she moves in, and a woman of refinement will be re- fined, however humble her lot. That is what draws one instinctively to Mrs. Mur- ray, she is so thoroughly natural. She puts on no artificial airs to suie her new position, but just remains her own sweet self. I do not wonder that the minister made the mis- take of marrying early when he found such a woman willing to marry him." Had he been unmarried now he would have chosen differently. .Ministers always know to look for a well -lined purse," laughed Mrs. Deane ; " but if you like to patronize Mrs. Murrey I'm sure you are welcome to do so. She is not a woman I could ever feel interested in." " No, I would never suppose you could," returned Miss Douglas with an enigmatical smile, ati with a stately bow she turned in the long avenue of Linwood. " Well, Beth, what do you think of Emily Douglas ?" asked Robert Murray when his wife returned from her drive that after- noon. " Oh, Robert, she is perfect. I never saw anyone the- same before. Mrs. Deane and Mrs. Leslie dress finer, but they're nee like her. Were they common folk I should think them quite vulgar, but maybe- it is that I dinna understand, there die ed many fashions now -a -days," and she sighed. Her1 husband clasped her in his arms. " You have judged them rightly, Beth ; though polished outwardly they are innate- ly vulgar ; and your nature could never be attracted by them. But Mies Douglas is a lady, and in winning her friendship you are richer than if you possessed the favor of a hundred like Mrs. Deane." " With a wife like her, Robert, you could have held your own anywhere," said Beth wistfully. Robert laughed. "Let them trample on me, and they'll .find they've waked the wrong man, little woman. I'm not one of the meek ones of the earth ; there's a good bit of the old Adam yet. I don't need any- body to help me to hold my own. And I am quite satisfied With the wife I have. I wouldn't exchange her even for Miss Doug- las, although I do feel grateful to that youeg lady for her kindpess." "It my bairns could get a mother like her, I could leave them wi' an easy mind," said Mrs. Murray, meditatively. Again the raiverd seemed to' pierce Robert Murray's heart, as he watched his wife's swiftly changing color, but he strove to hide hia alarm. "My bonnie Beth, it'e your own self that'll be looking out for a seoond husband when you've got me out, of the eway, and that reminds mel noticed Colonel Douglas looking rather attentively at our pew on Sunday, but I don't know," he concluded, with a sage nod, "how Miss Douglas would like you for a stepmother." Mra. Murray rose wearily, and, laying off her hat and jacket, was about to take the up:stake. Robert rang the bell, 'Do you forget that there are two oe vents in the house?" he asked. " Here Jane, take Mrs. Murray's thinge upstair for her." A year pearled, but the rest, instead o bringing strength to Bst,h, seemed to leav her weaker every day. Indeed, she seldo entered church during the winter months and when the following summer the minis ter received a call to a fashionable waterin place he had little difficulty in plee.din his wife's health as an sexcuse for leavin after about a fifteen months' pastorate. Th ladies of the congregation were highly in dign,.0anntly. it was always the way with sel made men," Mrs. Deane affirmed. " Thai ambition was never satiefied." But arnb tion had little to do with Robert Murray' decision. To get his wife out of Aberdeen shire altogether Was his one desire. Th people had neither understood nor appreci sited her, but more genial companionship might be found in the south, and the droop ing spirit might even yet revive. The Colonel and his daughter went sout for the induction • the former to support hi minister on the platform, the latter to mak the first few days among strangers mor homelike to the shy, retiring Beth, bu Beth's first appearance in the new chum was her last. For ten months she lingered, growin weaker and yet lovlier every day ; then on sweet summer evening lying on the draw ing-room couch with her one hand in he husband's and the other in Emily's, wh bad been hastily suminoned from Aberdeen she passed gently away. " You will comfort him when I am gone ? she had told Miss Douglas in an earlier par of the day. "I am too tired to learn ne ways. He needed me once, and I did no fail him, but my work's finished now, I ea do no more." To her husband she had said—"I gay you up, dear,, that day ten years ego whe you decided to enter the ministry. I kne then that I would not have strength enoug to go with you all the way, but I do not r gret it. You will never forget me quite, know, but I don't want you to mourn a ways. A minister's unca wild like withou a wife," she added, relapsing into the ol mode ofespeech, " but there's only one tha I know' worthy of you." Then, as Emil Douglas entered the room with a soothin draught, she drank it, and taking her han in one of hers and 'her husband's in th other she drew them both nearer her, an nearer each other. An "unca wild -like" man indeed, wa Robert Murrayewhen he rer:lized his los but he strove toleury his sorrow in ove work until his health broke down. The he was ordered abroad, and for twelv months he wandered through Egypt an Palestine, but the home coming tried hi sorely. Never before had he realized! ho much she was to him, He had attaine the summit of his ambition, but her life ha paid the forfeit. He remembered all he little economice, and as he reckoned up hi own accounts he marvelled how she ha kept thiugs going those eight weary years How many luxuries—ay, even necessaries she must have denied herself. Was it an wonder that heart and flesh failee at last And he had Dever really understood ho carefully she had concealed from him th magnitude of her sacrifice ! His own name met him in every paper h opened. The magi° of it drew crowds wherever he preached, but this unknow Beth was the heroine, not he the here although the blind world worshipped him a one. The following year he was asked to cele brate the Communion with hifi former peo ple in Aberdeenshire. The hope of seeing Emily Douglas induced him to content, fo with her he could speak of his beloved Beth without fear- of being misunderstood. I was two years since they had parted ; but, although gentle and sympathetic as ever, there was a certain constraint in her man- ner the moment she found herself atom hearing that Miss Douglas was about to be married," said Robert, on the way home from church with the Colonel one Sunday evening. "1 wieh it were true," returned the old man moodily. And is it not ?" asked Robert, brighten - ng visibly. " No, the young laird of the adjoining state asked her, but she refused. I wish, man, you could use your influence," and he ooked at him keenly. Robert became moody in turn, and the Colonel continued—"I conld not say it to nother, but I know the secretiiig safe with ou. She alsveys liked you, a d I fear the kiqg has developed into something tronger." " No living woman stands higher in my stimation than your daughter," replied obert slowly, after the &et feeling of Bur- ris° had passed. Then he gtirestioned ab- uptly—" Have I your permilseion to ask er for my wife." " Woo her and win her, add may God less you " answered the Colonel huskily. So Robert Murray married Emily Doug - as, out of gratitude for her kindness to the ead, he told himeelf at -first ; while Emily ssured herself that her loye wee wholly the framing of pity for him in his loneliness ; ut the clear-sighted said that Robert had nly now found his mate and Emily her eal, for the one was the exact counterpart f the other, and certainly in his second arriage no less than his first, Robert Mur - y was a man to be 'etvied. If unfitted y birth and training for the hardships rough which Beth had passed, Emily was ble to uphold him in his high poeition as eth could never have done andewhile she as loved by his children an'el congregation, obert found in licr companiouship solace ✓ all his cares and sympathy in all his ork. Never before had life been so bright ✓ the great preacher. Nevertheless, some - meg in his happiest moments a careworn ce would rise before him, and instead of mily's soft white hand he would see one own and toillardened, and the cry would e to his lips—" What am I that such ve should have been laid at my feet?"
