" Universal human law," said she, de- termined on the last word, " is only a feeble imitation of the Eternel Law ; and you may call it law, and I may call it—" ' " And if there is such a thing, it laughs at us as its great forces crash on and crack our bones to dint." " And yet you say one heroic action will give the world a diffetent look, will make you believe in possibilities of good and the author of good.' " Well—yes, I think so. And it is safe to say." , And as Mr. Petersham stood looking out ily on the hil s that night, the likeness of a sweet duek face, eager with enthusiagni, its dark eyes urning like stars, the rich change- lese tint glowing .under the olive brown of its eheek, kept hanging before him, and with the face the spirit of the words kept apeak- ing th him„ and suddenly a sense of awe was upon him, po that he almost feared to turn, lest, after all, what he disbelieved yet longed , for were at his aide. A few eivenings afterward, being alone with her, he showed Miss Furneval a min- iature, the painted semblance of a dark -eyed flower -fair face with an abundance of blonde braidtbound above the brow—a face lovely, though rather in expression than in feature. " It was My wife," said he. "Was she like that ?" said Miss *Fume- val, faintly, and with some tremor in her tone. i 1 ' " Very.1 But paler. Do you know, you often bring her to my mind, although you are larger and [older than Ge rd'a, and a wise woman where she was ly 1a loving eh ld ; and although she awed where you move in such stately fashio , and although she was always laughing, till these laat months and you so seldom smile, and although she was so frail and fair, and you so dark and strong and richly tinted,1there is often an air, a way, an outline, thee calla her up before me." " I look ike so many people !" sai Miss Furneval. " We all do, I suppose.1 The human face, for all its variations 'keeps much the same base, you know. Is it a great while since you lost her ?" she added, presently. , " An eternity l—a. hopeless blank ll Yet sometimes -I -sometimes I have thought an- other woman as sweet as she— And then the thoughe is sacrilege. But, Miss Futile- val, if you—tif you—" And he paused, his strange sad ieyes transfixing her with a wild light of hope in them. 1 "Mr. iPetereham, if you—if you had a wife again, , would you subject her to the same conditions ?" "To none of them. We would leave this place of graves;twe would put the ends of the earth between us and all connected' with it; we would live a new life." And he liF held out bo h hands to her. But Mies urneval did not choose to see the gesture at that Moment. " There comes Mrs. Alynshyn," she said, and went to rolla chaitinto the light ler that individual, dis- turbing as she did ate the air creeping through the windowrrich with the breath of honey- suckle and the last late roses, and scattering it through the room. It was high timelMrs, Mynehyn thought, for her presence. She had seen sufficient of the various strolls end tete-a-tetes, outsideof the hours of work, to arouse her apprehen- sion. If she had h d any purpose of waking her brother from his lethargio melancholy, she felt that the purpose was accomplished, and it was now eime to lOok to the consquen- ces. "If the copying is quite over for to- night, Arnold," she said, " I have some private matters to speak of with you." And at the hint Miss Furneval bade the two good -night, and left Mrs. Mynsbyn clearing her throat. " I suPpose you are aware, Ar- nold," Mrs. Mynsityn began, " that this person . who copies or you came to us with no other recommen ation than that which may be a forged no e from a clergyman who never existed." " Sister !" " I Mean just what I say, And I am moved to say it by her conduct, 'for all her church -going, and her hymn -books, and the est. Do you suppose any modest woman of er years—she is every day of thirty, if she's n hour—would be making °et:lesion to eee ou alone, away from her work, till she has 11 -but infatuated you ? I came to say to ou that she will receive warning from me o -night, and in future I will myself attend o this precious copying. I thank divine oodness my eyes— i " You will do nothing of this kind !" 'slid- enly thundered the amazed Mr. Peter - ham, "Humph 1" said Mrs. Mynshy, rising and etting out of the room and in her turn haking about the flower:laden atmoephere, ' I have already done it." And so, whet) iss Furneval took up a note froM her dress - ng -table, out of which a bank-bill.dropped, 't appeares that she had. , To Mrs. Mynshyn's consternation, after hat curt note, Miss Furneval walked in ext morning and took her customary place t the breakfast table, although no plate had een set for her. She was in her pr tty hite mottling gown, too, with a ore my ea -rose in the knot Jeale blue ribbon a bet hroat, making a gorgeous piece of olor ith her brown skin and scarlet cheek and n early golden leaf In her hair. e Whe the ervant had poured her coffee and lef the oom, Miss Furneval turned to Mr. P ter - ham and said, " I have received a ra her xtraordinary communication from Ire. ynshyn. I had thought you were my ern- loyer, Mr. Petersham. ' "I am," said that gentleman. " And I—" " And you are to take no notice of any . ommunication of the sort that I sup ose ou mean from Mrs. Mynshyn," saieMr. etersham, as quietly as before, but rle ith the effort, and feeling all at once li e a tent who has rent -his chain. "Befoie my very face?" gasped hire ynshyn, and became rigid. " I thank you Sir," said Miss Furneval. ' All the same, perhaps, it would be beat hat I should go. . Not to-dayi indeed ; that ould be very fatiguing. But to -morrow, f you -will 'send to the stage office, I will hank you. As for the rest, Sir, it is better hen long life with you to see you*" " To see rhe at last assert my anhood," aid he then. "But you will not o.

In the mythology Of Ancient breece Hymen, the god of marriage, was the half brother of F,'sculapius, the god of; medi- cine. The ancients believed that mar- riage and health should- go to- gether, and as a result the Greeks Of that time have ever einee been looked it upon as types .i'4' of physical ee. ,._ e / perfection. Sickly Motia- ers cannot bear healthy children. The prospective mother should use every precaution to preserve and foster her health. Not alone for the sake of the little one to come but for her own sake. A perfectly healthy woman is in no danger and in very little pain at her time of trial. There must be due preparation for this time, Nature makes the prepare - tory period three-fourths of a year and women who take the hint from nature and use the tiine properly need have no fears of the outcome. Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite PrescrilRion is a medicine designed ' -to cure all distinctly feminine ailments and taken during the period of gestation it renders childbirth easy, safe and com- paratively painless. It is the unvention of Dr. R. V. Pierce,. of Buffalo, N.'Y. a regularly graduated physician an skilled specialist in the cure of all di ases of woman. Mrs. Orrin Stil s, of Downing, Dunn Co., Wis., writes : " I cannot praise your ' Favorite Pre- scription' enough, for I have not been as well for five years as I now am. In July last I had a baby boy, weight ix lbs. I was only sick a short time, and since I got p have not had one sick day.e li Sick women can consult Dr. Pierce loy letter free of c arge. Every letter is held strictly private and sacredly confidential. Designing men work on women's feelings, by advising women to " write to a woman who understands woman's needs." It is useless to seek advice about disease of any wotnan who is not a vaiy- sician. So far as known no qualified woman physician is connected with any proprietary medicine establishment affairs, which were pretty widely distributed through the house. " My child," said he, as Miss Furneval entered, " I have thought it best to come directly to you. What is this I hear ?" " How should I know before you tell me, Sir ?" returned Miss Furneval, in a some-, what !defiant manner, new to her, pausing before him and looking at him, with no other change of face than the gradual white- ning of the lips.- " Do you mean to say," began Dr. Gilbert a little nettled by this unbending demeanor, " that these sad things' which I hear through Mrs. Grey from Mrs. Mynshyn are—" "I mean to say," cried Miss Furneval, with indignant warmth, " that your church has no more right to become a nest of scan. dal than the temple had to be a nest of money-ohangere. What right has one Christian to think ill and speak ill of another ?" "Purge me with 'hyssop, and I shall be clean," said Dr. Gilbert, gravely. " I am not going to answer you in this spirit; my child. I will come to the point, and only ask you two or three questions, which, as your pastor and spirieual guide, I have a right to do. Are you as Mre. Mynahyn says you are, a married' woman with a hus- band living ?" "I am,' said Miss Furneval, bowing her head haughtily where she stood. " And have you, as Mrs. Mynshyn says you have, listened, not unfavorably to ad- dresees from Mr. Petersham?" " I have"—after an almost imperceptible - hesitation. "And he—you, I mean— Pardon me, thewicked words are difficult to say—you love- him ?" Miss Furrieval paused, lifting her bead and looking into space. " Yes," she said at last, " I do." " My child, my child," cried the old minister, " the Lord has forsaken you." "No Sir," said Misa Furneval. " But Mrs. Nietnahyn has read my letters to my old aunt, and read them without the key. She was silent a moment:- " My dear, kind friend," she cried then, approaching him, and all at once she stopped and 'burst into the gayest peal of laughter with which the rafters of that room had ever rung. Dr. Gilbert threw up his hands in horror. " So ,hardened !" he exclaimed. " So—" And just there Mrs. Mynshyn opened the door. He turned toward her with a sort of sob in his old voice. " The woret," he said—" the worst is true." " And more than that," cried Mrs. Myn- shyn : " she paints !" . And before Misa Furneval .could recover or bethink herself, Mrs. Mynehyn had con- ducted the old gentleman out of the room, he bad mounted his nag, and was sobe ly and sadly joggieg away to take measurea or dealing with the reprobate, Miss Furneval picked up her hat, nd sauntered out of the house. It was a clo d - less day of fervent beat ; the sky had de p- ened its blue.every hour till it hung a he vy brooding purple pall, ,with lightnings play ng on the -fringes along the horizon. Them° n- ing breeze had fallen, the birda were s ill, the leaves forgot to stir. She thought it would be cooler out-of-doors- she could ot atay beneath thb roof ; she fellowed by he bed of the brook to the old mill. As he went -along, Mrs. Mynshyn, in her h gh chaise and with her head in the air, paa ed on the narrow read below, beside the bro , on her way doubtless to enjoy her tid its with Miss Overton. Miss Furneval wander- ed on, till through the cleft of the hills he landscape ?stretched under her in its vi let mantle, a land of peace, an enchanted co n - try of ielight. As she looked at it a ew drope of rain fell. She was a long way fr m the house, and there was no shelter but he. forsaken mill at hand. She clambered dol n and traversed its rickety floors to a windOw, where she leaned and looked out, end dreamed a little with a smile on her lips. She was very tired ; before she knew it er head had fallen on the sill, and ehe dreaming in reality—the,.reality of a sw et deep slumber. She was waked, a half hour afterward by a strange and hOrrible noise, a booming of thunder that echoed through the hollo of the sky and everybollow of the hills, a I w and distant roar swelling far off from he heights of the hills, a sound like the bre k- ing of waves, a rushing of water, and he clatter of every timber in the mill. It ... as the raM, the few drops that had all elt o ce become a torrent, the quick torrent of a w Id afternoon shower in the summer hills, a fl od as if the rivers of heaven were un'closed. he crossed quickly to one of the broad openi gs on the other side, and saw that the amazi g little brook was already rolling gown, ow l- ien to a freshet, and still swelling. She did not stay to gaze at the sunfamilia stretch of foaming yellow water rushing here t e pellucid tide of limpid bubbles sed to r n between its blosseming banks. here w s not a moment to be lost : the old ill wou d be perhaps cut off from land befor else cou d escape from 'it. She ran up the steps ward the disused timber chute, on y to meet Mr. Petersham as he came leapin down to her aide, and shaking off a showe himself like a shaggy dog juat out of wate " So I have found you,' he said, " To lthink of the insanity of your choosing this place in a. thunder shOwer, and such a thunder -shower This way—here--I know the place of old. My at:al—one instant, one instant too late!" It was tree. There came a ehook, la shiver crash,alnd the upper side of the structure slowly settled as if one were forced to his knees, and the violent turhid water was tearing down between them land dry land. - 1 1 1 . For one heartbeat' Mr, Petersham averted his face, and then he looked at hee—a shud- der was running over her, more Us if with the mernery of some dreadful past experience than with the horror ofthe present or appro. heneion of the future. But directly after. ward she was herself again, with the same steady color and glowing eye. " Well," she said, as clearly as she ooeld be heard through the rush and roar and.racket, and extending her hands, "I have been nearer death before; and I dare say you hckve known moments more terrible. ' , " At any rate, we are together," he said. " And if we can do no more, we can at least go where we can face the foe and admire hie splendor." And so with uncertain steps they did, placing themselves where the trembling beams yet seemed firmest and the chance best, and side by side waiting through the ghastly moments that told their fate. It was no time for words ; perhaps the instants of time were but few before them ; a dozen pulsations more and the torrent might snatch them into eternity ; yet the chances were with the old mill that had stood more floods than one. But if they were to die, there was one thing that must bt!4 clear between them ; he fele, as if by suine subtle instinct, that he was all to her as she to him, yet, " Was it true," he said, in a moment of lesa uproar, " that I heard you say this noon that you are the wife of a husband who lives and whom you love?" " Perfectly true," she answered him. But as she spoke she took his hand, and then paused one moment, and cast her glance over the expanse about them. Great trees came rushing down, struok the posts of the mill. and swirled off into midstream, and away ; the swimming barnyard creatures 'swept by them ; a hutch with a peacock on it spreading his ;superb , train of gold and emerald and azure stain.in the rush of the rain, and piercing the din with sharp cries ; the little thread of the brook was an inun- dation brimming the broad intervale—broad as eome great lake agitated by a furious tumult, a foam -streaked stretch under that purple pall of sky and through the silver glitter of :the wind-swept rain in the awful efulgenoe of the lightnings, Here and there her wandering eye caught the gleam of the white horns of cattle ; here a horse swam with the tide, his black head just above the stream. Then her glance came back and rested on Mr. Petersham, and, with a strange sweet smile, she lifted to her lips the hand she held and kissed it earnestly. Suddenly, in the act, Miss Furneval sprang ta her feet andlran out along the broad beam, sprang then to a lower beam, threw herself flat upon it, reaching out with both arms, before Mr. Petersham could gainsay her or could seize her.- What did she see ? In a. second breath Mr. Petersham saw it too, It was Mrs. Mynshyn, tipped back in her chaise, from which horse and shafts had been torn floating along the arrowy current, her skirts' tucked up about her, and sitting serene as Cleopatra. on the Cydnus. She saw Miss Furneval, but only as if she saw through her, making no sign. But just before she reached the mill a great hay -rack came sailing doWn the swifter body of the current, bit the chaise, and twirled it about, and spilled Mrs. Mynshyn out as uncere- moniously as if she had been a rag doll. There was one wild ery from the old creat- ure as she tossed up her arms mid the next moment, reaching far over an'd above her, Mies Furneval had caught her hand, the other old hand had closed over that grasp like a vise; and drawn by the wet weight, pulled by the tearing stream, and pinihed by her own momentum but never thinking of letting go her hold, 'Miss Furneval was slip- ping into the water was caught and whirled under and off, still holding fast to Mrs. Mynshyn, still held fast by her. "Don't mind me ; I can swim!" she cried back ; but he never heard her ; he was in the water after her. There was only one chance in a thousand that some of all the objects in the torrent should not strike the' stoutest swiria- me; and end all swimming ; but as he ro e to the stroke he saw a huge tree swingi g broadside on and tangling them among , i s half -submerged branches.; and before e could dash the water out of his eyes, Mi a Furneval was scrambling up among t e boughs, although they were rolling and di ping like a ship at sea, and was helping Mr Mynshyn after her : and. as in anoth r moment the force of the water swept him n with the same eddy among the branche , the whole tree swung round and lodg d against a hidden wall, and people on t e bank were throwing ropes and riggi g planks, and bringing the haledrowned wret- ches ashore. " 0 my God !" cried Mr. Petersham, es he grasped her " I never expected to see you again. We sometimes die for my friends but who, before you, ever la d down fife for ' an enemy ! What an a° ! what an heroic act ! No, I never ,expec ed—" " Then you have seen it.at last,' a e of the cloak somebody had brought her,— I said, coolly, wiping her face with a corn r " the one heroic act ?" " Never expected to touch you again. Ah, how cold you are, Miss Furnevald— Great heavens ! Gerarda !" And he etood struck dumb before this apparition of la woman, half of whose flower face w s srneared with a melting wash of brown and scarlet, and half of whose dark hair and all uneurled• rings and Recarnier locks was torn aside, with their scarf of lace, horn a high white. brow closely bound Omit "with blonde braids—an apparition shiV- ering and shaking and dripping at every polli‘ Well—don't you know me?" she cried, , ,with a laugh like a chime. " Are walnut juice and wigs or charcoal disguises that defy love ?" she saide talking against time aa she saw his emotion. " I used to wonder at you efery day when I put them on. Once you said you would know my chin and ear in ten thousand, and so I muffled them in ,l,aorcee.'ra' rda !" he cried again, white as r , ashes. And to the half unconscious Mrs. M nshyn's emazoment, white and cold and w t as they were, they were looked in one another's arms ; and when the clasp was 1 loosened, Me.

But, no sir, I am on the right side yet. THE Ex- POSITOR of August 4th containe a letter un• der the the heading " Some Reasione for the Present Good Tirnes," and over the signa- ture of H. Washington, of Ottawa. Said letter brought te my mind a few ideas for which I would, crave a small apace in THE EXPOSITOR. Just before the Dominion election af 1896, 1.1. Washington, of Ottawa; commenced writing letters for the Brussels Post. Down to the very ladt iseue before the election on the 23rd of June, his princi- pal trouble then aPpeared to be Ithe much abused old National Policy, tariff fir reve- nue, or protective tariff, or whatever we may choose to caP it, which has one busi- ness for 21 years. Now, we fin him ap arently with the Same trouble riting for HE EXPOSITOR, *hich I thinki we may take as a pretty mire sign that wet are near another election. It is very diffie4ilt to un-, derstand a good pert of said lett r. Some of it appears elm* above humani ,ies reach, and if any one of the many reader of THE EXPOSITOR can understand the co tents of that letter then evould like to ear from that person. I have read Mr. Washing- ton's letter three times and fro what I could gather he apparently thinks, the tar- iff hes been very much reduced ince the Reformers got into offiee, that all kinds of industries have expanded and are ooming, so much so, that We had to ine age our orders abroad. Then he fears a reaction and the consequent hard times wil set in next year, for the reason that our Et panded industries would enable us to do th lesa imports, our yet protective tariff b Mg the cause. Now, I wi/I start at making a few remarks on his letter where he saYs " We all know that after. the Fielding tariff was SEPTEMBER, 1. 1899 As some are To=day 1 Pinch your feet in wrong shaped slalees ; make you nervous, irritable ; spoil your ternper ; lose your concentration.

Now, the fact of the matter is, the tariff has not been re- duced to anything like what H. Washing- ton appears to think it has. The Conserve- tives, when in office, revised and changed the tariff and put numerous articles which we could not produce, on the free list. The Reformers, when they got in, did just the same thing ; they reduced the tariff en some articles and increased it on others, leaving the dear old NJ P. as they got it. As a sample, there used to be a great outcry about the high price of coal oil, the villian- ous and terrible teriff being the cause ; and now, what do we 6nd they have done when they bad the means of, doing in their own hands ? Well, they jnet dropped one little cent of tariff on the gallon, and the con- sumers know how much cheaper they are getting their coal oil. The Reformers bad two good reagents for not giving free tra e or very low tariff. The firat reason is, the didn't want to, shut down all our industries by giving us free trade ; the next reason ii, that the expenditure of over fifty million dollars requires the assistance of a good sized tariff. Again,he says, " we have,there- fore, as a necessary result of the lowering Of the tariff, an enormous increase of the num- ber in receipt of wages, and an actual in- crease in the average wages of those who were employed dor to the election." I fail to find where al that xtra rush and eX- tension of business is. I think it must be a case of imaginetion or supposition, for one of our greatest industries, the flax business, has been partially at a Istandstill these 164 two years and several mills going idle, with binder twine brpugh into the country 1 a large amount of far ing implements and already made. Agaie, Mr. Washington - says this increased deMand has kept our en- gines of production and distribution busy beyond their ability, thus forcing us to in- crease our orders abroad. Now, surely that muet be very rteshing after the 18 years of blue ruin cry ; it certainly is love7 lye But, next we find ,E. Washington qual, ifyiog hia former happy statements by say- ing that the most unfavorable circumstances we have to codUtend with at present, is the rapidextensi In of our protected industries; and the forming of trusts and combinee known to bel going on. Surely he muse know.that trists and combines have been; and are now, where there is no protection: He then concludes by saying thee, "could we get the tariff !below the protective point, our expansion in population; wealth, manu- factures and trade won d be rapid beyond the dreams of the most sangejne." Well, we will see about that, too For several yearg past some of he Reform party have been calling for fre: corn ail free binder twine. In 1896 we irnporte from the United Stites a little less than three and a quarter million bushe 8 of corn for home consump- tion, with d ty on.. Last year nearly 20 million busheliS of corn were imported for the same purpose tree of duty. We got the protected or Toryl corn delivered at Brine eels for about' 32 cents per bushel ; then corn was put on the free list, which took away the protection from the Canadian corn growers. In South-western Ontario, wbere corn used to he a profitable crop, the far- mers have had to take to growing tabacco, which impoveeiehes the soil. Then we got the Grit or free. cern, . and up jumped the price to abont. 501 cents per bushel. Now, think of it, dear readers, the price of nearly 20 million bushela, last year, going to en- rich ' the Arnericari farmers. The Conserva- tive Governmenthad a standing offer With the I,Tnited States} viz. : That if they would let our barley in free, we would let their corn come in in like manner ; but they 'Would not. We got good protected Tory binder twiee at. from 7 to 8 cents per pound. Then binder twine was put on the free list; and, bs a result, last year we had to pay from 10 to 15 'cents per pound for the free or Grit twine.' We are told. the Govern- ment sold the penitentiary twine at 4i- ce ts per pound tO political pets, who put th price up to that amount. Now, there ar two apecimene of free trade for the far - me a to draw eoneolation out of. We ea al ost fancy we can hear the American's laughieg and saying, " They have the right kind 'of Governin'ent to suit us over in Cant ada, for -we can. ,floOd their oountry with coin and binder' twihe soott free, and the peer devils can't send Us one bushel of bars leY ote one pound of twine." Now HI Washingtoneof Ottawa comeun and please give tie 'some more. 'Thanking you, Mri Editor, I remain, Your old subscriber, JAMES BOLGER.. , August 15tho 1899. .1111,1•Pl, ard-wor Farrners.

Therefore, place of remedies,. surgical operations a -n heroic sufferings, the only course for a au jeet hay fever to pursue, if relief is desi d, is to flee from the infected atmospher and deleterious in- fluences to regions whe the air and sur- roundings are free fro the sources of hig trouble." The Muskoka lakes, Magnetawau river region, Leke of Bays, and Georgian Bay districts are totally exe pt from the causes of the trouble, and immifilte relief and a decided cure is assured all who visit this beautiful locality. The main considerations in choosing these region/4 in preference to other localities, are : 1,—Rellef and total 'Itimunity from hay fever. 2,—Easy accessibility and moderate hotel rates. 3,—Good postal serv4 express and tele- graph, railroad and stetter:boat facilities. 4,—Beautifully secluded and charming camping grounds. 5,—Good hotel aceo modation on all, principal lakes. 8,—The adaptability f the surroundings to meet the various or varying moods of in- valids, tourists, or sportimene 7,—The wooded shores of the lakes an& rivers, principally balsam and pine, is also - one of the accountable reasons for the -curs- tive and healing properties in the atmos- phere.
