John Dering's Trials Two lovers, hand in, hand, strolli along a summer lane. The girl you and pretty with a shade of coque in her manner, a dash of wilfulne now and then peeping out; the m older in years, and with a face whi yet bore traces of great sorrow. N one moon had fulled and waned sin John Dering had stood beside his fat er's open grave. "I am sorry for you, John, you kno that. 'I have been thinking of you a day, knowing how you must miss hi When we are married, dear, and g elsewhere, it will be easier for you bear. Everything you see will not remind you of him." "Ah, that is another thing of whic I wished to talk with you, Allis dar I know, dear, how much bette than a farmer's wife you ought to b and how you have always hated th idea of such a life. I was very hap that I could offer you something ferent. When first this city openin was proffered me, I accepted it fo your sake. I had heard you say ofte enough you would never live on farm, but it is different now. Then, had .not the sweet promise you hay since given me. You hand had neve lain in mine, nor my lips been blesse by the touch of yours. When I to you now, dear, that I must staywher I am, will the disappointment be mor than you can bear?" "John, you do not mean it? Wh should you stay and endure a life fo which you are no more fitted than a I? Do you owe nothing to me?" "Yes, Allie, I owe you all the happ nese my life has ever known; but m duty is none the less clear for tha My mother and sisters are dependen now upon me. The farm is all the have. Unless I take my father's plac they will be homeless." "They are your .first consideration, then?" "Hush, Alliel You know better tha that. You know what I long to do but at present there is no way. Com to the old home to make it sunshine.' "I can't, John. You said yoursel that you knew I was utterly unfitt to be a farmer's wife, and that if yo had not known another sphere had opened itself for, you, you would neve have asked me to marry you." "True, dear; but I did not know then all that love meant. Since I hav grown sure of your heart, and think o our approaching marriage as daily drawing nearer, I could sooner thrust, when dying of famine, the cup of wat er from my,parched lips than yield up the knowledge -that you had given me your promise. There is no choice for me though, Allie. I must stay to give my mother and sisters the comforts of life." "Then you must live it without me. I do love you, Joh,i—I wish now that I did not—but not even my love is strong enough for the dull, plodding existence which never knows Ambi- tion's name. Early to bed and early to rise is a good enough motto in its way, but I think there is something higher, better, nobler•in life." , "Nothing, Allie, is higher than one's duty, in however humble a sphere its finger may point. We are home now. Oh, Allie, think! Am I to go away? Are you sure of yourself. A world of pleading rang out in the clear manly tones, but the girl's face was resolute and hardened. "I am sure, John. It has been your own doing. Remember that." "Yes, I will remember. Good-bye, then, Allie. God be with you!" He had turned to go, but suddenly he paused, and taking her slight form once more for the last time in his arms, he pressed one long kiss upon her lips, and she felt against her own the tu- multuous throbbing of his heart. Then he was gone and she went alone into the light, while he turned out in- to the shadow. For the first time in all her yours life sleep' forsook her. Restlessly she tossed upon the bed, where heretofore her form had lain crouched in sweet dreams or blissful forgetfulness. Wilful, exacting as she is, she loves .this man with a depth of which she dons nq_.t dream, and to look ahead at the 1 ig future without him is to see a barn waste. "He �vi11 find out his mistake," she at last sobs to herself. "He will do as I have asked him and as he promised me." But days came and went. and still John Dering ,gave no sign of relent- ing. They rarely met, and when they did he passed her with a bow. There was no studied coldness in this, but he dared not trust himself. "I must go away," she said at last. "This life will kill me." And so putting her wish into words, the early fall saw her in the gay city she had hoped first to visit as his bride. "Where are the rosy cheeks and bright eyes I expected to see?" her aunt questioned, when she met her at the depot, and took her to her beautiful home. "We all expected a real coun- try lass." But if Mrs Learing's disappointment was genuine, she found none to share it. Perhaps it was,because the pretty face was new; perhaps of its freshness and piquancy, but whatever perhaps was th.. cause, certainly the result was the same—that before this new con- stellation all lesser lights paled. An- other world, richer, fairer than any she had ever known, opened before ng ng ss an ch of ce h- 11 m. 0 to so •h 1- r pe di Children Cry for Pitcher's Caster's'.

NQQw and then when the attnas hereof !Mutation and ] 1 ur , constantly surrounding her was abut out.by„night and darkness, when she lag silent and alone in the night watches, the sad, noble face of • the min whom she had sent out into the darkness would come before her, .But when, light and warmth and per- fnme surrounded her, when costly mirrors reflected hex form, and many voices were ever ready to whisper of its beauty, and she would see,• in con- trast, the picture of the farmer's wife, der youth and beauty ° only re- flected in the summer -brooks with the rich robe replaced by the simpler dress, and the nights now redolent with lights and music, spent only 'neath the stars, or in the quiet, home - parlor, She woidd turn,. shuddering, and say: "I could not have borne it.” But there came a time when con- gratulations must be added or her er- ror retrieved. It was scarcely a sur- prise to her, when Mr Everdon told her that he loved her and asked her to be bis wife,;—to rule as mistress over bis?luxuriant mansion, to share the wealth of which he has so large a share. It waw to no new story that she list- ened, Mr Everdon wws^lsot alone in ppursuit,for that one little white hand; nut. before to• -f light the "No" had slip- ped readily^ yet graciously from her lips. But he pauses now..Well she knows thatthis man can offer her all which will make her life one golden dream; that though his hair is sprink- led with gray, he loves her with a young love; that his arm will shield her from every rough wind that blows. Why, then, should she hesi- tate? Why not give him the answer that he seeks? "Have I hurried you too much?" he questioned at last, when the silence between them is still unbroken. "I know, Alice, that I have not youth to offer you, but my heart is young yet and my youth is not so far behind me that I have forgotten it." "I know all that, nor am I ungrate- ful, Mr Everdon, for all that you offer me—a girl so little worthy such love. Give me till to -morrow. Then you shall have my decision." "As you will, Alice. I will leave you until then; but remember, dear, if God sees best to.give this one white lily into my keeping, its bloom will gladden all my life." One last fight with self did Alice wage, but when the morning sun broke her decision was taken. Love, wealth, luxury lay before her —within her grasp. They would be hers. That other life from to -day was forbidden even from memory. It had lived and died, and not even its ghost must be resurrected. Mr Everdon's wife must have no time for thought. At her breakfast plate lay a letter, addressed in her father's hand. With careless fingers she breaks the seal. With eyes dilated with horror, with face and lips blanched, she reads on through the closely written sheet:. "We have had a terrible accident at the mines. There has been an ex- plosion, and no one knows now many men have passed to their last account. They are still busy going down in their sad search for the possible living. John Dering was amo ng the first to offer his services, and I fear,oor fel- ow! he has met .•his death from the oul air. He went down this morning, nd when the shaft was drawn up he was not on it, and they, have heard othing from him since. Brave fel- ow! The excitement is intense. When re you coming home? We miss you, arling, sadly." • When? Oh, that she were there, that she might join those anxious orkers in their search; that she ight find the poor dead body, and hisper to it, though it gave no an- wering sign. "Your wife mourns ou John! Nay, not your wife—your idow." With wild, exultant throbs her eart asserts itself, though it will beat ladly nevermore. With the keen in- uition which comes to men when rowning, she knows that her love is t-ried with that brave soul which' ent forth to meet its Makertrue to uty at the very last. The light dies rom her expectant lover's eyesas he aits her coming, when he looks into he white, set face, from' which youth nd gladness seemed forever fled. She laces in his out -stretched hand an pen letter. "I loved that man," she says broken - "From you, the man I have so onged, I pray one boon: take me to im." With a great pity for the young life bus shattered, even though his own eart was buried in the fall, he tender - clasped the cold, little hands within is own, and drawing her to him, said, oftly: "Poor child! You will take my pity, lice, though you could not accept y love. We shall have no time to se dear. To -night shall see you in our father's house." "Have they found him, papa?" she uestions, as she throws herself a few ours later, into the fond, outstretch - arms. "Oh, papa, you little knew u wrote the lines which ^doomed my e to widowhood. I loved him, and have lost him!" and the young voice oke in a pitiful wail. "Nay, darling, John has been found d unhurt.

They Use Paine's Celery Com- pound and Keep Up Their Strength and vitality in the Hot Weather. "How to look well and fell well" during the oppressively hot summer months, is a subject that should command the atten- tion of every busy man and woman. There are thousands of business men, clerks, toiling, bustling housewives and girls em- ployed in offices, stores and workshops, who lose all strength and vitality in the months of July and August. As a rule, these daily.workers feel well in ordinary weather; but, when the sun pours down his scorching rays day after day, and when the air is heated and heavy, then all life and heart seem to de- part from every -day toilers. They look pale, listless and nervous, tbey are irritable, languid and broken-down. It is no exag- geration to say that, "they feel worse than they look." • To those who find life a burden in sum- mer time, we would strongly recommend the wise and unfailing plan adopted by more fortunate men and women, who, even in the hottest weather, look well and feel well, and always escape the debilitating effects produced by a heated and impure atmosphere. The wise, prudent and vigorous in sum- mer use Paine's Celery Compound as a tonic and strength -giver. This remarktible, medicine, it must be remembered, is not intended exolusively for the rooting out of disease, and for the cleansing of the blood; its toning qualities and its virtues for keep- ing well people regular, strong and active, are favorably known to those who have used it in summer time. At this time a few extracts from letters may prove useful and helpful. A busy wholesale grocer, doing business in one of our largest cities, says: "During the hot summer weather of 1893, I used Paine's Celery Compound which was re- commended to me by a banker. It kept me in perfect condition during 'the whole summer, and gave me strength and regular appetite. I did not find it necessary to go to the seaside with my family. It will be my friend every sncoeeding summnr." A young lady in a large Montreal dry goods, house, says: "Two summers ago, one of my lady frienas advised me tq,try Paine's Celery Compound during the hot weather, as a tonin and health -builder. I used the medicine morning,noon and night, and was always vigorous and active, while many girls around me in the store, of stronger constitutions, were complaining of lassi- tude and debility." A well-known lady and mother of six children says: "I seriously and confidently recommend Paine's Celery Compound to all mothers who wish to keep up their healthandstrength during the very hot wer of simmer time. I use the medi- cine every dry, and feel heavy and strong, and have no difficulty in getting through with my household work and Dares, which are never very light. Since I have used the compound I do not find it necessary to or -off to the country for two or three months to gain health. In every dose of Paine's Celery Compound I find a supply of strength." MoRAL.—Yon save time and health, and banish all discomforts by using Paine's Celery Compound drying the summer months. INCIDENTS. One of our members gave in a late meeting the following incidents as all having come under her notice in the city. About four months ago, one Sunday when the weather was very cold, a father took his little boy out for a ride upon a hand sleigh. He stop- ped at two taverns for a drink, leaving the child outside. When the little fel- low cried he brought out pop, and all the way home filled him with stories of what he would do tohim if he dared tell his mother. Fear of consequences sealed the child's lips at home, but he told the circumstances to a kindhearted neighbor. Will any one wonder if a boy, thus early taught:to disregard the laws of the land and deceive his mother, should find the paths of sin easy to tra- verse? In the same neighborhood another little boy was seen to lead from the tavern his mother. Her hair hung loose about her shoulders and her whole appearance was wild and repul- sive. How could that boy obey the fifth commandment? And if he reach- ed manhood without that heavenborn instinct of respect for womankind and with the loose -reigned passions born of such lack, Would not the citizens of this goodly city whoermitted the licens- ing of the dens ofvicethat ruined his mother, be held responsible? In the same section Iesides a widow with her two sons. The mother watched over these boys in their in- fancy and youth, and might now well respect and care from them. But the saloon has blasted her hopes; made the fresent a continual sorrow, and the uture an ever deeping fear. Both boys drink heavily. After spending the night, as they frequently do, in carousing, they find themselves unable to attend to their work, and so poverty is added to the mother's troubles. That most miserable of all women a drunkard's wife, told the narrator that she had hunted her husband up at 2 o'clock Sunday morning in a city saloon, and then gone•to the church service and foundthelicenseddestroyer of her happiness sitting in his pew listening, with apparent devoutness to the services. Think of the respon- sibility of the church that can, by per- mitting such men to hold membership within its fold, and guilty sileneeas to 1 the evils of their business, become p' rtnets in their ill -doing, Several o�her happenings were related—but Is ace torbits further mention, --Citizen and Home Guard.

Pat reached Publin, took the wrong boat of course, and ,Arrived at Liver- pool.. He went into a blackethith's shop to light his pipe. he Farrier guessed where be came from and asked "What brought whim, over?" Pat explained, whereupon the black- smith said: "Why go to London when you • can learn as many "quiffs" here. I'll show you one now.' "Fire away," says Murphy. The smith then put his hand against the wall, and told theIrishman tostrike it. Pat hit out.• The blacksmith pulled his hand away, and the former knocked the skin off his knuckles. "That's good enough for me," ex- claimed Murph. Here's off back to the old country." The day after arriving home he gath- ered all his chums in a field, and told a young giant named Mike to take off his coat and tuck up his sleeves. Pat them glanced around for awall— not one in sight. Then for a tree— none there. "Never mind;" says he placing the back of his handagainst the side of his own head; "Mike, strike that!' The latter let drive hard, Pat drew bis hand away, and shortly afterwards Ij was on his road home on the door of his own cabin.

The auditors of the High Court of Canadian Foresters were engaged at the books of the High Secretary, Bro' Thomas White, Brantford, during last week. The investigation. shows that the total receipts for the year ending May 31, 1894, was $411,257.57, ofswhich $252,750,47 is a balance from the previ- ous years, leaving $158,463.09 as the ac- tual receipts for the year. During the year $88,000 was paid in death claims, leaving a total surplus on hand of $323,- 247.56, which is invested in Dominion of Canada stock, loan and savings com- pany debentures and other good securi- ties. The membership during the past year has increased from 16,275 to 18,- 616, and the growth of the society has far surpassedthat of any previous year, both with regard to membership and financial standing. Mrs. J. II. UIORSNYDER, 152 Pacific Ave., Sante, Cruz, Cal., writes: " When a girl at school, in Reading, Oliio, I had a severe attack of brain fever. On my recovery, I found myself perfectly bald, and, for a long time, I feared I should be permanently so. Friends urged me to use Ayer's Hair Vigor, and, on doing so, my hair Began to Grow, and I now have as fine a head of hair as one could wish for, being changed, how- ever, from blonde to dark brown."
