As if he had been a veritable king, the Lord of Pomerolles possessed in his feudal castle all the necessary depen­ dencies--servants innumerable, men- at-arms and retainers of noble birth. The battlements of his high, square towers were visible afar over the plain,, fuelling of steel and fire and causing ' terror alike to timid peasants and YfSir- like foe. In front of the lordly dwelling ex­ pended the mall, bordered with lime trees, century old; then the falconry at the entrance of the acacia wood, and the smithy and foundry where the steel for making cuirasses was hammered and where gun metal was melted for the founding of the bombards, which for fifty years had replaced the old- time catapults. The Lord of Pomerolles was prepar­ ing for war, but he hoped for the pro­ tection of heaven, and, to gain it, had taken pious counsel of the venerable abbe, whose famous monastery stood uponthe summit of a neighboring hill. The abbe had promised to put up prayers for the Lord of Pomerolles, who had vowed, on the cruciform pum­ mel of his sword, to give to the church a bell as large as the bourdon of the Cathedral of St. Hilaire. And, as a lit­ tle daughter had just been born to him and had been named Rosemonde, it "Was agreed that the work of the bell founder should bear the name of the in­ fant. Then the Lord of Pomerolles re­ turned to his castle and gave rigorous orders that the work of fabricating •rms should be suspended and nothing thought of but the casting of the prom­ ised bell. But for the due accomplishment of such an undertaking the ordinary workmen of the castle were not suf­ ficiently skilled. An artisan was need­ ed who was experienced in all the dif­ ficulties ofthis particular kind of work, capable of combining the proportions of copper and tin best calculated to pro­ duce the greatest volume of sound, and to put in practice the thousand details furnished by experience and trans­ itu Itted by the corporations from gener­ ation to generation. So the Lord of Pomerolles sent to the great city for two famous workmeh. Jehan and Mathias went to the castle of Pomerolles. Both were young and strong, accustomed to the fabrication ,of fine swords, bare-chested, in front of flaming fore fires, to strike in cadence the glowing blades, keeping faithfully the secrets of the old master founders, and knowing well how to gnide the flowing of the terrible liquid metal from the cauldrons to the casting pit. By order of the castellan Jehan was made master of the foundry, with Mathias for his first assistant and the old workmen under his command. The preparatory work was I^egun, but an incident occurred to disturb the harmonious relations of the tw^chiefs, which had been perfectly mam to that time. ^ A woman came between them. It was Annette, the daughter of the bead butler, a maiden pure and calm, who in the porch of her parents' home, plied her spinning wheel, while singing an old refrain: "Alas! alas! a-don-don-dell Why may not a maiden tell '! A-don-don-dell, a-don-don-dell? ' Why may not a maiden tell When soft sighs her bosom swell? ^AJas! alas! a-don-don-dell!" Jehan and Mathias both had learned this song, listening to it in the inter­ vals in the clash of hammers beating the sparkling iron upon the anvil tops. Jehan, tall and muscular, opened his big black somber eyes, surmounted by heavy and almost meeting eyebrows. He looked at Mathias weighing ingots of copper in the scales--looked at him hatefully, without daring to show his hatred. He hated him because he had seen him speak to Annette, who had laughed while listening to him and shown her range of ivory teeth. Would he win her love--this comrade with the blue eyes and blonde beard falling upon .his chest like a sheaf of ripened oats? He, Jehan, had spoken to Annette, and she had greeted him with a pleas­ ant smile. But perhaps she had only turned on him a simple glance of scru­ tiny, as a stranger from that distant city about which she had heard vague­ ly, as one of the wonders of the world, witb gigantic palaces and r . ^ v • i Aad as he wsckod Jehan asked him­ self whether he coold bear to live far from this woman who had suddenly ap­ peared upon his road of life, and he thought he loved her even unto death. One day, while he and Mathias were In the casting pit kneading the loam and road dust which was to serve for the paste with which the mold for the bell was to be made, he suddenly raised his head and said: "Mathias!" i-v; "What Is it, master?" •" "You love Annette, do you notf^ ^S > Mathias blushed at first, astonished at the question; then, looking Jehan full In the face, he said, unhesitatingly; "What you say is quite true. How did you come to know it?" "I suspected it" "Master. I love her more than my life! I love her as if she was a saint descend­ ed upon earth " Jehan turned frightfully pale, and Mathias, breaking off, gazed at him painfully. They said no more for awhile. Alone in the pit, into which later on the mol­ ten bronze was to flow; alone in this hole, seemingly roofed in by a strip of blue sky, they glared at one another like two wild beasts. Mathias had realized their rivalry. "You, too, love her then?" he asked. "Yes," replied Jehan, "there are twi of us." Again they fell into silence. Then, in the blue space above them, sounded the well-known rhythm; "Alas! alas! a-don-don-dell! J Why may not a maiden tell I A-don-don-dell, a-don-don h. Why may not a maiden tell i I When soft sighs her bosom swell? Alas! alas! a-don-don-dell!" But by this time the vqiee of the en­ chantress made them shudder dolor­ ously. " "To work!" cried Jehan roughly. And both/gave themselves up anew to their labors, finishing their task without again opening their lips to each other during the day. The time fixed by the Lord of Pome­ rolles and the abbe for the casting of the Rosemonde was come; at dawn the molten metal was to be transformed. All the preceeding night the red fur­ naces were kept aglow, sending up their black clouds skyward. Alone before the gulf Jehan and Ma­ thias watched th^^moking metal. The moment approached when the withering stream would fill the molded pit prepared to receive it. At daybreak the trumpets would sound in the castle court, and before the Lord of Pomerolles and his vassals, ail in festal attire, before the monks sing­ ing canticles, and tin -bbe putting up prayers to heaven, the flood of incan­ descent lava would be sent upon its way and the Rosemonde would be made. Twenty thousand pounds' weight of metal seethed in the cauldron; and over this volcano Mathias stooped, silently watching the color of the eppper and tin under the action of the constantly renewed fire of peat, turf and charcoal. Near him stood Jehan, who in turn stooped to examine the liquid metal. At that moment Mathias whistled an air. Jehan turned upon him, his eyes flash­ ing furiously. It was the air of Annette's refjatn: "Alas, alas! a-don-don-dellH All consciousness of reality left Je­ han at that iustant, a veil passed be­ fore his eyes ami hideous jealousy gnawed at "his heart so fiercly that, seizing his companion with both hands by the waist, he hurled him into the crater at his feet. \ Mathias had no time t6 defend him­ self, nor even to comprehend the attack that had suddenly been made upon him. He could only cry: "Help! Jehan!" And he disappeared in the liquid met­ al, and only a blue flame, shooting up from the heart of that terrible volcano, showed where the body had at that mo­ ment been dissolved. Some months later, honored and re­ warded for his successful casting of the Rosemonde, Jehan married Annette, the Lord of Pomerolles retaining him at the castle as his forge-master. And he was happy in his marriage, no sense of remorse assailing his heart, filled wholly and exclusively by his love. Nobody had suspected the fate of Mathias. His disappearance had re­ mained inexplicable. Time passed, and he was forgotten. After some months had paissed, with great pomp and religious ceremony, in the presence of the Lord of Pomer­ olles and the abbe, the Rosemonde w as hung In the belfry of the abbey. Jehan, among the ceremonial assist­ ants, regarded his work. The cere­ monial bell shone with its Latin in­ scription and its Redeemer on the cross. He now thought of Mathias. All that had been iiis companion slept there, imprisoned for eternity in this cuirass of bronze! But he shut his eyes, trying to forget, and pressed his arms closely about the form of Annette, who tenderly return­ ed the embrace, for she had learned to know all the love this man.had for her, and was beginning to love him as great- in spite of his rough manners and awkward movements. Lost in the crowd of peasants assem­ bled about the abbey, Annette and Jehan made their way down the hill and Into the shade of a little wood near the castle, seating themselves by the side of a lake, oh which floated a large number of white swans, the property of Lord Pomerolles. , And on that bright afternoon, wiien from Ms bed. He stopped his ears af the hour of the elevation; forever ths lost cry of his frieatd come bade to him, lugubrious, Implacable, "Help! Je­ han!" In rain he sought forgetfuiness by casting culverlns for the Lord Pomer­ olles, or in beating the glowing iron upon the sounding anvil; never could he drown the resistless voice of the Rosemonde. s" Oh, it became Impossible to live on In this way! He must exile himself, abandon this part of the country, re­ turn to the great city, fly from the sin­ ister voice of death! And yet it was but a hallucination. It could have no mil existence. Ma­ thias could not speak. Jehan was courageous. He bad al­ ways been audacious. He would brave this bell which harassed him. One evening the Lord of Pomerolles had the misfortune to lose his young­ est son, and mourning fell upon all his vassals and dependents. Slowly sounded the sepulchral knell. "Help! Jehan!" sobbed the bell. , Bareheaded, with faltering steps, as if drawn by an Invisible force, Jehan mounted the hill. He reached the mon­ astery, and requested the father bell- ringer to allow him to go up into the belfry. Above, the bell swung slowly to and fro. "What do you wact with me? Where are you?" Cried Jehan. Stupefied, the father bellrlnger watched him, white as a spectre, mounting the tall ladder. , t "You are hiding yourself. Where are you?" Jean cried, amid the tempest of sound. "I am not afraid; show your­ self! If ~>u dare, show yourself!" Higher, higher he mounted, the bell over his head occasionally ringing, its black clapper seeming to sway to and fro like an immense tear! Jehan reached the bell, and, bend­ ing toward it, grimaced at it and threatened it with his clenched fist- ail unconscious of what he was doing, mad. Suddenly the monk saw his danger; he could not arrest the colossal Rose­ monde in its sweeping "Take care!" he shouted. It was too late. In his madness, wishing to ascertain whether or not It was really the voice of Mathias that reached his ears, he had put forward his head to listen, and the bronze monster had struck him dead.--From the French, in the Strand Magazine. Unexpected Good. Fortune. Many cases are on record where a simple act of kindness has been un­ expectedly and substantially reward­ ed. On the outskirts of Vienna there lived early in 18SJ a blind beggar of the name of Fritz. In the same house there lodged a young man who earned a seamy livelihood as assistant to a cop­ persmith. One day, crossing a crowded street, the blind man was knocked down by a passing vehicle, and the young man happening to witness the acctdent carried him home in his arms. A friendship sprang up between them and continued until the blind man died, when by his will it appeared that he had left his bed to the copper­ smith. As it was a bettor one than his own, the young man slept for some two or three months upon it, when curiosity led him to cut it open, with the result that bank notes to the value of over two thousand dollars were re­ vealed secreted inside. A French priest was accosted by a man in rags who begged the abbe to get him into a mon- astry, where he might live and die in peace. The kindly priest took pity upon him and eventually secured his admission into a Spanish monastery, and hearing no more of him forgot all about the matter. Some three or four years afterward, however, he received a, letter informing him that he had been appointed universal legatee and executor of this very man, whose property in France alone was worth some millions of francs, and ever since the abbe has enjoyed an income of twelve thousand dollars a year derived from this source. Some years ago an English stage driver was in the habit of frequenting a certain modest inn of an evening, where he used often to meet a funny little old gentleman, who, in return for the driver's kindness in seeing him home, used often to promise that he 'would remember him some day." The driver thought noth­ ing of the matter, but the old fellow was as good as his word, and duly willed his chance acquaintance some $35,000--a very pretty little reward of merit. * the sun cast on the soft sward the ; shadows of the scarcely trembling leaves on a ground of gold, Jehan, his head resting on Annette's knees, went to sleep, while she amused herself with plucking the wild flowers within her I ?ach and humming her old song. But suddenly, penetrating the low- I est depths of the valley, came the | strangest, the most musical sound that j had ever stirred the air of that conn- j try side; the monastery sent forth the i first summons of the bell. Piously An- j nette made the sign of the cross; but j Jehan started up with bewildered j eyes, open moutli. and in his face a i look of inexpressible horror. Carried on the sonorous air, he heard the voice of Mathias mingled with tliat of the metal, "Help! Jehan!" Throughout the day, in sign of joy, sounded the bell, andf all day long the the ears of Jehan with the supreme cry of his companion, "Help! Jehan!" It seemed to him now that Mathias was there yonder calling to him. Each day that follovfed was a day o; martyrdom for Jehan. The ri of Hard Work, Not Inspiration. The poem "dashed off in half an | hour" is tolerably certain to be crude and unfinished. Inspiration must bo aided by hard work, if a satisfactory j result is to follow. A number of manu- | script sheets of Longfellow's "Excel- j sior" illustrates this truth, and should J give hope to man.? a discouraged ama- i teur. As Longfellow first constructed the first verse of this poem, it ran: I "The shades of night were falling fast ' As through an Alpine village passed ] A youth who, as the peasants sung, ' Responded in an unknown tongue, j Excelsior." | This was manifestly weak, as the only | obvious reason why the Alpine peas- j ants sung was that they might afford a rhyme for the youth's response in an j unknown tongue. A second trial at j the verse, however, made r It even ' worse. The two last lines of the verse were made to.read: "A youth who bore a pearl of price, A banner with a strange device." There are not many, even among the magazine poets of to-day, who would consent to refer to a banner as a "pearl of price." But the poet had by this time three lines to his liking, and the substi­ tution of "a youth who bore 'mid snow and ice," completed the verse as it has been read and spoken throughout the length and breadth of the land. All of which goes to show that the genius of the poet is the conception, and that the production of the poem, being quite another matter, lies solely in the direction of patient labor.

ON Sunday, Jan. 6, Primrose & West's mammoth nnnstreis will begin a week's en­ gagement at the Chicago Opera House. It lias been a long time since tne Chicago pub­ lic has IKHMI afforded the opportunity of seeing a first-c'/ks minstrel performance, and that given by Primrose West is said to be the lw\st of its kind. Those two im­ presarios of black-face entertainment have always kept apace with the times, and in their present season they eclipse all their best efforts of former seasons with the greatest and most imposing array of min­ strelsy of their careers. With their com­ pany of forty white singers, dancers and specialty artists and thirty .colored jwrfonn- ers they present a new foVni of minstrelsy. Spectacular minstrelsy they call it. inas­ much as every feature is produced with elaborate and costly scenic effuH'ts, and the costuming is all of the most elaborate and sumptuous character. In the company are all of the best-known artists in the line of black-face entertainment, and the specialty olio will introduce a number of European artists who have never yet been seen in Chicago. A sensational act is that of Sheik Hadji 'Ta liar's troupe of Arabs, which consists of tumbling, gun spinning, human pyramids, etc. Geo. Wilson, the acknowl­ edged peer of all monologue artists, is in­ cluded m the company. tJeorge Primrose is one of the principal "members, of course, and William West tills the position of inter­ locutor with all his old-time dignity and urbanity. Two complete lirst parts will be given--one will be old-style minstrelsy and the other the minstrelsy of modern days. The engagement of I'rimrose and West is for one week only, matinees being given on Wednesday and Saturday. Following the engagement of Primrose and We.st at the Chicago Opera House comes Mr. George lidwardes' company from the Prince of Wales Theater, London, presenting the latest and most successful musical travesty, "A Gaiety Girl." "A Gaiety Girl" ran for nearly two years in London, and afterwards made a wonderful success at Daly's Thea­ ter, New York. The company which conies to the Chicago Opera House is the original* one, and includes Uarry Monkhouse, Cissy Fitzgerald, and all the other London favor­ ites. Tobacco and Kypsight.

Dr. PIERCE'S Golden Medical Cures Niaety-eigbt per cent, of mil cases of Consumption, in all lt» Earlier Stages. Although by many believed to he inctll*- tile, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the feet that, in all its earlier stages, consumption is a curable disease. Not every case, but a large per­ centage of cases, and we believe, fullv 98 per cent, ere cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe liugering cough with copious expectoration (includ­ ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by " Golden Med­ ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis­ representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery," but who have been forced to confess tliat it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod- liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene­ fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophoa- phites had also been faithfully tried in vain. The photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of 16a pages which will be mailed to you, on re­ ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
