Jle was tired, verj tired, after a day of hard labor on his mountain lands / and had thrown himself into a great easy-chair of his mother's, on the south porch, for a moment's rest; and he could [ not understand how the speaker, a tall, supple girl, with hands as white as milk, -*< who passed her time in comparative idleness, could be tired. For Elsie Marian was not one given to unusual exertion, and generally man­ aged to secure the godd things of this world with as much ease as was possible or consistent with her position as de­ pendent niece in the home of her mother's sister, Nathaniei Holt's aged mother, who simply adored the bright young girl who had brought sunshine into her old house, and whose helpless orphanage covered many serious faults. At this moment Elsie was seated on a garden stool, half hidden by the droop­ ing boughs of a willow, laboriously at- _ tempting to twist tiny bunches of dog- _ wood berries and autumn leaves into a v wreath, her dead-gold hair failing about a face as fair as any lily that lifted its spotless brow to tae opal sky, and no : violet that ever blossomed in the cool tufts of meadow grass beyond the wil­ low copse was as blue as the modest eyes she lifted to Nathaniel Holt's troubled face. He stood over her, bis hands folded on bis back, and his broad, bronzed brow flushed a little with some sudden inward emotion. " Elsie," he began, the brown eyes that she dared not meet searching the lace that drooped beneath his gase, . " what has tired yon ? " " Nothing." " You were once a contented, happy girl, Elsie; what has changed you ? " " Nothing." She spoke listlessly, yet " a faint, sea shell pink crept into the round? soft cheeks and up to the rdots of golden hair. "Yes, Elsie, something has changed you; you are the same, and yet ?ot the sam3. You have lost your blitheness; you do not come to me<with kind words, as you once uid, Elsie, and charm all my cares away. Tell me why." Nathaniel Holt sat down on the grass at his coils-in's ieet, and watched the color come and go in the face above him. He was terribly in earnest, this sober, self-contained man of 30, for this young girl had been his idol for years. " I am not changed." Elsie tried to steady her voice. " I am the same to-day that I have been every day for. years. • You know I am 20, anv I must try and be womanly." " Has Lewis Walton anything to do with the change, Elsie ? * Elsie's face blushed crimson, yet she langhed merrily. "No. You snmly are not jealous, Nathaniel ? * It was Nathaniel's turn to blush now, which he did to perfection. For answer ht drew the dogwood berries out of the little hands, and held the slender fingers in his own. "1 am not'jealous, Elsie. Yon do not seem contented of late; you are always ' tired; you never run up the mountain path to meet me, or take long rambles i; in the woodland, so as to be near me, as you once did. You see, I have grown i so used te your tender, watchful lo've, if .

"Yes, Elsie, there is danger of you forgetting 0' me through him, for he is a more pol- ii-f ? ished, more fascinating man; yet, Elsie, dear, he is as unstable as the wind, §§, and not calculated to make any woman ilV, ^PPy" ' "Yon must think me very impressi- i ble," broke out Elsie, whose conscience 1"^ was not as easy as it might have been. "When I gave my promise to be your Si 'V5v wife, I meant to keep it." Nathaniel Holt drew the golden head "Xdown to his breast and breathed a silent sprayer over it; for Elsie was a woman, j |with * beautiful woman's Jove of the follies and adulation and he knew lljenongh of Lewis Walton's character to '-•%know the Mguments he would use, and r; ;»4hat he would not be sparing of ? |ing speeches. jPp .. still -t ai»K "»r ® imagined herself faithful to grtd> slowly bat sA lfm?f tf&uled away from the i/*ndBke8dfa8t love of ^ upright r' , . w*tched her with a brood- ijj- Jerm He was BO loyal him- se|f%t he would instinctively notice .waveringon Elsie'spsai, bethought; A the eyes of love are often blinded by lf-confidence, and when Elsie came to Mm and laid her golden head against his arm, as she often did in the autumn gloaming, N ithaniel's happiness was too deep to be delusive, and he would hold her to his breast as if nothing could ever wrest her from his faithful arms. Poor Elsie 1 little did she know of the passionate depth and power of this strong man's love. His homage was hers l>y right, and she accepted it as some Princess might the service of her vassals. She never thought how deBo- late that life would be if bereft of her love--how barren of hope or happiness would be his darkened future; for, if he erred in any sense, it was in the strength and parity of the love he laid at her feet. The purple haze of Indian summer was lying on the hills. The sun sailed through the mist like a great ball of flame, and billows of dead-brown leaves swept up the ravines, as Nathaniel Holt trudged down the mountain path, his brown cheek flushed with exeroise, and hie eyes kindling with love as the old farm-house, with its many windows stained with amber, and tall gables draped with scarlet runners, came in view. His mother sat on the porch bathed in a rift of ruby sunshine, but he looked in vain for Elsie--Elsie who had promised to come up the mountain path to meet him. Something like the murmur of voices attracted his atten-. tion, and, turning into a side path, he cam© upon Elsie and Lewis Walton seated on a mossy log, with their faces turned from him. Walton's hunting jacket and gun lay on the ground, and Elsie's hat had fallen at her feet, while the fair glowing face was upturned to the hazy November sky, as if she dared not, yet longed to meet the fire of the black eyes that seemed to read the in­ nermost thoughts of her heart. M Elsie--Elsie," the soft, persuasive voice was saying, " be -wise, and listen to me. You do not love Nathaniel Holt as women love men they marry." "Nathaniel is so good, and has been like a brother to me since mamma's death," murmured Elsie, by way of protest, while Nathaniel stood as if rooted to the spot, his breath «nming in thick, hot gasps. "That's just it, Elsie; yon have mis­ taken your feelings. Instead of the love you should give him, you will reward his great love--for he does love you deeply--with a warm, sisterly affection. Ah! Elsie, think in time--I love vou as I have never loved before, and, Elsie, you love me," said Lewis Walton, as he put his arm around her slender waist and drew Elsie's happy face to his bosom, and covered the warm, red lips with kisses. Nathaniel Holt fled from the spot like a hunted deer. The veins on his temples stood out like whip-cords, and dry, voiceless sobs broke from him as he sank down on the mossy turf and buried his face in the cedar spears that lay inch deep on the moist ground. Never again could he take Elsie Mari­ an's false face in his hands and kiss it with a lover's kisses. For she had will­ fully given up the pure, honest love of his guileless heart for the love of wmn who, in the sight of God, if not in the sight of men, was legally bound to an­ other. Perhaps he had been mistaken in himself, but this he knew, he had made an idol of her and given her such love as no human being should lavish on a fellow-creature, be they ever so perfect, and God nad seen the foolish­ ness of his idolatrous love, &id punished him sorely for it. After his passion of grief had spent itself, he arose and turned into the path that led homeward, feeling very much as if he had stood beside Elsie Marian's grave and saw her laid in it. His face had grown white and hard and stern in that short but bitter struggle, and the brown eyes were full of a grief too deep for tears. He felt faint and dizzy when he saw Elsie standing at the meadow gate alone, and the light of her newly-awakened love in her blue eyes. "Nathtniel"-- she speaks nervously, for her womanly instinct tells her some­ thing is wrong--"what has happened? You,are late." M Just this, Elsie"--he takes her hands in his and turns his set, white face away from her--"I have lost something out of my life which I shall never, never own again--an untroubled mind; and, Elsie, dear, forgive me if I have mistaken gratitude for love, and held you against your will. Take the man of your choice, Elsie, and Heaven grant you may not And your happiness Dead -sea fruit."' j, "Oh, Nathaniel!" Elsie's tears are sailing over the hard, brown hands; "I did not deserve your love--I do not de­ serve your kindness now." "Go!" he sayBs gently, and Elsie slips past himfc leaving him to conquer the rush of feeling that threatened to over­ power hit*. At length he lelt strong enough tqface his iuture, and went in­ to the house with a look on his face that told his mother the hour she dreaded had come; for, with the keen instincts of her sex, she had foreseen the result.of Lewis Walton's attentions and was more grieved than surprised when Nathaniel told his pitiful story. Elsie was married.

Lewis Walton m4r value it as a child prizes a beau- toy ; he would have idolized it aa evotee worships the beauty of his *dess--and for this feeling alone he felt the great treasure oi Elsie's love had been denied him. But a rumor was stirring in the fash­ ionable world that never reached the quiet old homestead. Men looked with pity on the lonely, trusting wife; women smiled and sneered behind their fans; and still Elsie never dreamed aught of the shame and disgrace that was gath­ ering around her. When the news of her fickle husband's elopemen t with a dashing widow reached her, she threw np her hands with a cry of despair--" Nathaniel, Nathaniel, my ain h&» found me out!"

Nathaniel asked no questions. The sad, white face was dearer to him now than it had ever been before. He made no outward sign of the love that was burning within his breast, yet his care of her was wonderful, and he thanked God that through affliction he had been shown the weakness of his idol, and that Elsie was but human, while his own heart had been purified in the fire of tribulation. More than a year after Lewis Walton's death, we find them standing t\ here we first saw them--under the old willow--and Elsie is wearing a wreath of dogwood berries and autumn leaves. Her cheeks are flushed and a tender light fills the beautiful eyes. "Elsie"--Nathaniel imprisons the slender fingers--"yon mast let me speak. Give me back the love I lost when you became the wife of another." "Nathaniel"--Elsie^ voice is full of contrition--"I did not know my own heart then." "Yen know it now, Elsie; say it is mine."

Cure of Diphtheria.--When a mem­ ber of the family is attacked by this fearful disease, the best medical aid should at once be called. The danger is too great to allow this advice to pass unheeded. Indeed, even in apparently light cases, that appear to be progress­ ing to a speedy and favorable tormina* tion, the patient often suddenly dies, and what are called the sequence of tbe disease--its later'eflects on the organs and tissues of the body--frequently re­ sult in death, or protracted disorder and suffering. It will therefore be seen that intelligent professional treatment is necessary to prevent, if possible, such serious results. But in some oases a physician may be so far away as to ren­ der his assistance practically impossi­ ble. For such, we say there are three principal remedies. The first is the saturated solution of chlorate of potash^ given in teaspoon ful doses ev­ ery hour. The French physicians rely largely on this, The second is chlerine- water diluted with from two to four times as much water. A prominent physician of Springfield, Mass., has for the last sixteen years found it almost uniformly effective. Prior to its use, he lost half his cases. The third rem­ edy-is sulphur. Dr. Field, of England, has obtained remarkable cures with it. His prescription is, we believe, to mix a teaspoonful of the flour of sulphur in a wine-glass of water, and give it as a gargle. If the patient is uuable to gar­ gle, blow some of the dry flour through a quill upon the diseased paits of the mouth and throat; or burn some of the ulphur on a live coal, and let the pa­ tient inhale its fumes; or, filling the room with the fumes, let him walk about and inhale them. The patient should always be kept warm, the bowels open, and the system well nourished with easily- digested food. l^ing instantly strung up There is a young lady who follows the fashions so closely that she will not eat oysters unless they are scalloped. An Ithaca little girl, attempting to describe an elephant, spoke of it as "that thing that kicks up with is nose." An Iowa woman gave her husband morphine to oure him of chewing to­ bacco. It cured him, but she did litot own fall plowing. * A Mississippi ffctmer dashes cold water into the ears of choking cattle. This causes the animal to shake its head violently, and the muscular action dislodges the obstruction. A Chinaman never swears when he's mad, because there are no " cuss words" in his dictionary. He simply upsets his wash-tub, butts the bottom out, and then feels better. Mark Antony squandered $725,000,- 000 of the public treasure in two years, and the Detroit Frss Pre«« man want* to be appointed one of the oommittee to investigate his accounts.

These are among the old-fasiuoned diseases. New employments bri ig new ailments, and among these ij "the telegraphicdis- ease." Of course, it is only "a small percentage of person? that show the morbid tendency of any employment. High health, bused on a vigorous consti­ tution, will, with a modicum of care, stand a verv great amount of impru­ dence and exposure. The tele- . .rapbic disease comes mainly to females of a nervous organiz­ ation--the very class that is most apt in telegraphy. The cause of the disease is close, unvarying attention. There is no room for automatic work. This acts steadily on a single part of the brain, affects it injuriously, and causes palpitations, vertigo^ wakeful­ ness, weakness of sight, and, later, de­ pression, loss of memory, etc. There are two courses open to persons em­ ployed at telegraphy who find them­ selves thus affected. The first is to abandon the business. No present ad­ vantage can compensate for nervous disease. The second is to use their leisure hours so as to give complete rest to-the exhausted portion of the brain. Company, amusement and en­ tertaining books are specially healthful in this disease. The patient should also retire early, so as, if possible, to secure an abundance of sleep. As an aid against wakefulness, divert the blood from the 'head to the feet, by heating the feet in hot water just before The Last Flag Uuder Fire. Gen. Tom Harrison's Texas brigade, composed of two Texas, one Tennessee and one Arkansas regiment, was prob­ ably the last brigade under fire during the war, as it was engaged with North­ ern tropos between lialeigh and Salis­ bury, N. C., just above Chapel hill, on April 14,1865, the day that the armis­ tice was declared. The flag carried on that day by one of the Texan regi­ ments (the Eleventh Texas ^Volun­ teers) is now in possession of John Halford, of Denison, who'j was a mem­ ber of that regiment at the time, and who concealed it and brought it horile with him in the back of his jacket. This is probably the latt Southern flag fired at by United States troops. It is 'a small silk Confederate flag and still in good condition, there being only one small tear in it, and that was done the last day. it was under fire.--Macon CGa.) Telegraph. A Medicine Should not be Gauged By the suddenness and violence of its affects. Self-evident aa this proposition would seem, there are many foolish persona who are content only with a remedy which acta abruptly. The pill and other nostrum-ventlerB who trade upon the credulity of this class find their "best holt," as poor ArtemuH Ward termed it, ia the sale of violent purgatives. So long ae they wreuch the bowelB of their dupes sufficiently, they are pretty sure of a certain measure of suecesa If, instead of such pernicious rubbish, Hostet- ter'u Stomach Bitters is used, the results are widely different. Tue bowels are relie-ed, but always gently, by this pleasant laxative, which does not weaken, but invigora en them, and endows the co-operative organs of digestion and bilious secretion with activity and regular­ ity, strengthens the constitution and physique, and, while it is saf* in its constituents, is suffi­ ciently prompt in operation. A Warranted Robber Boot. n>s "Candee" Bubber Go., of Mew Haven, Ct, is making a new rnbber boot, which is just what ont-door men have long been looking for, viz., one that is warranted. These boota are called the "95" Per Cent. Sterling Rubber Boot Thev warrant them three months, and if your boot cracks or gives way in that time, you can secure a new pair free of charge, provided the boots liave had fair usage.
