Carri^ Welton locked the school- koSae door and walked down the dusty ' highway towards the farm-house she called home. She was very tired, and the long mile before her seemed inter­ minable. Just then there was the sound ' of wheels, and a span of bay horses were reined up clo«e beside her. "Would you like to ride home, Miss Welton?" borne one said. Carrie looked up in the sun-browned face of Alexander Hall. There was no smile in his grave eyes, and the shadow of a frown was visible on his brow. MI thank you--no. I would prefer to iralk," Carrie responded. "Very well. Get up, ponies."^ And the span and buggy whirled past her, leaving a cloud of dust to set­ tle upon her linen dress and straw hat as she trudged along the highway, looking very flushed and angry. "The idea of his thinking I would make up with him iu this way!" she said, mentally. "No, indeed! He will have to apologize before I ride with him again. I could see that he was just as set and stubborn as ever. .No doubt he intended to give me another lecture, and thought this would be a splendid opportunity. He will learn that I have some dignity, I can tell him." Carrie was so tired she ate but little supper that night, and retired early to her room to think over matters in soli­ tude, away from the clattering tongue of good Mrs. Smith, who felt it her solemn duty to "entertain" her boarders --said entertainment consisting in re­ citations of the neighborhood affairs, past and present. ^ When Carrie felt well and happy, and was not worn out with her dap's work, she bore it very heroically. But to-night she was too nervous to endure the ordeal. Mrs. Smith's voice grated upon her nerves like the filing of a saw, and she flew to her room for protection, pleading a headache. In truth it was a heartache which troubled the girl. During the last six months she and Alexander Hall had been very good friends--such very good friend that they were, in fact, lovers, and needed only a few words to belong to each other for all tine; words which would have been spoken ere this but for an unexpected event Smithtown boastel of two stores whioh, of course, were visited at cer­ tain periods by drummers. One of them, a handsome, dashing fellow, had recently made it in his way to pass Sunday in Smithtown. Every one in the little town knew why he had re­ mained. He had chanced to see Carrie Wel­ ton one evening at the store making some purchases, and he was not at all slow to express his admiration for the ! teacher. He begged the favor of an introduc­ tion, wliich, owing to the somewhat in­ formal manner of Smithtown society, it was not difficult to obtain, sinceevery- body knew everybody there, and the handsome agent Beemed a very nice fellow indeed, one whom all the young ladies would be glad to consider an ac­ quaintance. Mr. Parker attended church the fol­ lowing Sabbath, and walked home with Carrie, much to the indignation of Alexander Hall. He took it upon himself to say some Tery cutting tilings to Carrie when they next met, to rebuke her for her readi- • ness to receive attention from a cloth­ ier's "dummy," as he called Mr. Parker, and they had parted in anger. Their next meeting was that cm the dusty road. Carrie congratulated herself upbn her behavior, and then cried herself to deep. But she was sure he would come again in a day or two, and then she would be a little more gracious, and tako him back into her favor, for really Smithtown was very dull without him. But Alex, did not come to her the next day or the next, and a whole week went by without her seeing him Tlren a strange report came to her ears. "Alex. Hall has an auction to-day,' one of her papils remarked. "An auction. What for?" Carrie . asked wonderingly. "Why, he's going away--going to take up a claim in Dakota. He's sold his farm to Mr. Roberts, and to-day he sells off his horses and machinery. "Does his mother go with* him?" asked Carrie, with a dull pain at her heart "No; she is going to Iowa to her daughter. Of course the farm belongs to her and the money will be hers; and ; she says she does not want to go into a ' new country. But Alex, is wild to go, * and pa says he will be a rich man in a - few yvars--that the land out there will sell for a big price." It was not a very orderly school the remainder of that day. Carrie seemed to be in a sort of nightmare. Could it be true? And was he going away without coming to say good-bye to her, and this shadow between them? But he did, all the same. Three hor­ rible days and nights went by,and then 1 she saw him pass the school-house on , the afternoon train which would bear him from Smithtown. It was the noon honr, and she and several of the larger girls were sitting under a spreading oak, watching the smaller children play "rin£ around the roses." * As he passed by he swung his hat to the children, with whom he was a favorite, and said: "Good-bye, girls! good-bye. boys! I am off for Dakota!" I? And then he was pone.

Parker had visited Smithtown onoe during that time, and had been astonished to have Miss Wel­ ton tarn her back upon him very de­ liberately when she met him at the village store. He was not accustomed to this kind of treatment from pretty girls in smalt villages; fo%Mr. Parker was one of the young men who had "a sweetheart in every port," and he fully resolved to make Miss Welton his Smithtown sweetheart; and now all his plans were upset by the very disdainiul manner of that young lady herself. He sought an explanation by post, but his billet-doux was never noticed, Mid he was obliged to look elsewhere for a sweetheart to make his number good. The very day that sohool closed Car­ rie received a letter from her uncle Tom. Uncle Tom was her only near rela­ tive, a roving man of Bohemian tastes, a sort of jack-at-all-trades, and good at none. But now he seemed to have found a new location where he would be liable to remain some time. "I'm in Dakota," be wrote, "and I've taken up the nicest claim you ever saw ---one hundred and sixty acres. I have built me a lit: 1© house, and I keep old bachelor's hall. I go where I please in the day. I'm only five miles from the ra'lroad, and people are coming in ond villages going up fast I have plenty to do and see---odd jobs of car­ penter work, to keep me in living ex­ penses, and then I go back to my Bhan- ty and sleep nights. You know I was soldier two years in the late war. Well, that counts just so much time on my land, and when 1 onoe own it, I can sell it or keep it for a homestead, as I choose. Lots of women are taking up c'aims. Now, I've been thinking of you, Carrie. There is a splendid quar­ ter section a little way from mine. It will be picked up soon, if you want to make money, and have the grit to stand roughing it, you'd better be the girl to pick it up. You must have saved up something, teaching so stead­ ily as you have for five years. It would cost you but little to come out here on a landholder's ticket, but a little more to put up a small cabin, and but little more to keep you for six months, and then yon just about own your land--at least you've only got to make periodic­ al visits to it after that. And you can find enough to do in the meantime. And you can wear your old clothes and dress as well as the best of them. And in a few years you'll be a rich woman, Carrie, for this land will sell at a good pricp, it is so admirably located and fertile." Carrie had no sooner finished the letter than her decision was formed to go. She hated Smithtown and every­ body in it, and the further she could get away, the better. She wrote her uncle that she would arrive within the next three weeks, and she was with him in less than two. "I liave the lumber ready for your little house," he said, as he drove her from the station to his "bachelor" hall. Somehow she was lighter-hearted and happy 6ince she knew she was in Dako­ ta than she had been for months. She knew why--she did not cheat herself. It was because she was in the Bame country with Alex. Hall. It gave her a sense of companionship--this very knowledge. "In the morning I will take you out and show you- your claim," continued her uncle. And I've chosen this site for your cabin. It'll be about a mile from mine--just a nice walk for you when you get lonesome." The next morning was bright and sunny, but of course windy. "What a wind! Does it blow often like this ?" asked Carrie, as they rolled along over the smooth prairie. "Wind? Why, this is a calm day, my dear," said Unole Tom. "Just wait till you have seen a Dakota blizzard, my dear, before you talk of wind." By-and-by they came to Carrie's "quarter section," as Uncle Tom called it., Carrie could not see where it "began" or "left off," she told Uncle Tom. It was like all the rest of the country-- just land, and nothing more; prairie melting into prairie as far as Itoo eye could re »h. "Well, but I know where the invisi­ ble lines lie," responded Uncle Tom. "Now over yonder on that knoll your cabin will be built after we have at­ tended to the legal formalities, and that is the extreme southern limit of your claim. A little south of it there is a slight ravine, and then another knolL The ravine is the dividing line between two quarter sections." ^ "Who owns the other one?" asked Carrie, anxious to know who might be her neighbor. "I don't believe it is taken, though I heard something about it the other day. Seme fellow was looking it up I be­ lieve. There are some dozen of them around almost daily. That was the reason that I was in a hurry for you to come." A few days later, after the legal form­ alities had* been attended to, Uncle Tom drove Carrie out again to look at the cabin that was in process of erec­ tion on the opposite knoll. , "Why, that claim has been taken, too! I wonder who will be my neighbor?" queried Carrie. "I can find out at the land offioe," Uncle Tom replied. He did so and gave Carrie the desired information the next day. "It's some fellow named Hall--A. Hall," he said. "He's just sold out his interest in some claim about fifty miles north of here, and now he's taken up this, which he intends to keep as a homestead. They often sell out at a nice figure after staying a few months on a claim. Some fellow pays them a good sum for their chance, and they go elsewhere." "A. Halt" V, » Carrie felt a sodden leaping of her heart and a curious excitement But it was not likely that this was Alex. It would he too wonderful to be true. Yet it was Alex! She saw him at the posfcoffice the next day, and pa&sed him without so much as a glance. Alex, looked as if he had seen an ap­ parition and took a step forward and then stood still, chilled by her cold glanoe in which there was no recogni­ tion. Afterall.it was his own fault He knew he had conducted himself like a brute and an idiot when he left Sniith- town. He had realized it a dozen times since--realized it constantly, in fact-- with a dull heartache whenever he was alone with himself. But he had never been quite brave or manly enough to write and ask her pardon, believing ere this Mr. Parker had the first place in her heart the knowledge that Carrie's claim and cat>in were just opposite his own. The two cabins were completed and furnished, and the occupants moved in. Alex.'s was the more pretentious of the two in the exterior, and Carrie's the more sumptuous within. For she had brought her books and had a few plants, and with those indescribable feminine knick-knacks, which some women seem to create by a turn of their hand, her rooms were very cosy. Yet she was not very much at home. She passed a great deal of her time at Uncle Tom's, setting his "bachelor hall" to rights, and mending and darn­ ing for him. But she went to her desolate little house to sleep. She was not timid-- she knew that no harm could come to her there. She knew that the law of kindness prevailed in this new country, which was better than any law. "to keep the peace," to bind the people together. She occasionally saw Alex., but they never recognized each other; yet there was to her a sense of protection in the knowledge that he was so near. •Got acquainted with your neighbor yet, Carrie?" asked Uncle Tom, after a month had passed. 'No, and I don't want his acquaint­ ance," answered Carrie, rather icily. 'Nice fellow, I think," said Uncle Tom. "He's got business in him, and will make a successful man. He's taken up a tree claim now. I was tailing with him to day." 14What's a tree claim?" asked Carrie. 'Oli, you plant so many trees and leave 'em growing at a certain stated time--say two years--and the land is ours. He said you might do that and •e worth just so much more. It would cost you but a trifle to have the trees planted." "He is takincr an interest in .my af­ fairs, is he? Well, nobody thanks him for his advice," snapped Carrie, in a voice very unusual to her. Uncle Tom wondeied what had come over the girl, usually so sweet tempered. The •« eeks went by, and November came. Carrie was on the third month of her six. She had made a great many friends, and had read, and sewed, and made her uncle's cabin and her own very tasty, and comfortable, and neat with her handiwork. She felt that her time had been well employed and the days had not been long. And yet she and Alex, had never exchanged a word. No one--not even Uncle Tom--knew that they had ever been friends. One November day Carrie was "tatking a comforter," which she had pieced together out of bits of calico. The wind had been blowing with in­ creasing fury from the northwest all day. Toward evening it became terrible, and a sleety snow began to Ml. It seemed to shake the little cabin to its foundation. * Carrie felt her heart sink with fear. It was something beyond any of her former experience, and she remember­ ed what Uncle Tom had said about a "blizzard," "This must surely be a blizzard," she thought. Higher and higher rose the wind, louder and louder it shrieked. The walls of the house shook, trembled, and then-- Carrie was conscious of being lifted up into the air by some unseen force, and whirled through the darkness and then falling. After that she know nothing for a brief space. , She was only stunned, and when she opened her eyes she found herself still in her own room, but with everything" still in a confused mass of ruin about her, and Alex. Hall kneeling by her, rubbing her hands and calling her name. "It was not necessary to come over," she said. "I'm not hurt in the least." Alex, broke into a laugh. "Come over?" he repeated, "Itsyon who have come over, Miss Carrie; you made the first call in sp .te of yourself. And very glad I am to see you, even in this unceremonius manner. "What do you mean ?" she asked. MI mean that you came, house and all, and planted yourself right in mv dooryard with a thunderous clatter. I thought the whole village had arrived. It is a wonder your neck was not broken, my dear. Are you sure you* are not injured?" he asked with a ten­ der concern. "Do you really mean, Alex., that my house blew over into your yard?" "I mean just that, Carrie. I always thought your cabin rather shaky--mine is twice as substantial--and now yon will be obliged to accept my hospital­ ity for the present. Fortunately, I have a man and wife stopping with me this week--friends of mine from North­ ern Dakota, whom I am entertaining until they get a house built. They have slept soundly through all this blizzard. They are used to the coun­ try. But I will wake the good woman now, and she will attend to you." The next day Alex, said to her: "Since you unbent sufficiently to call on me in such an uncermonious manner, Carrie, before I beg you pardon for my old disagreeable meanness, can't yon stoop still further and marry me, now that I do most humbly crave your for­ giveness? I have always loved you." Of course Carrie could not refuse. "Pon my soul!" said Uncle Tom, when he had heard the whole story. "It's better than a magazine yarn! You're the heroine, Carrie, and Alex, is the hero, anci I am the sort of good an­ gel, you know, that fixes up things." "You are the blizzard," laughed jpar* strange! was hero in Dakota.

Meantime, at Washington, there had been a great increase in wealth and so­ cial refinement since the earlier days. Mr. Josiah Quincy, in his "Recollec­ tions of Washington Society in 1826," presents for us a polished and delight­ ful community/compared to that which had preceded it Himaelf a handsome young Bostonian, with the prestige of a name already noted, he found nothing but sunshine and roses in his path through the metropolis. Names now historic glitter through his pages; he went to balls under the escort of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Webster; his first en­ tertainment was at Mrs. William Wirt's, where he met Miss Henry, Patrick Henry's daughter, who played the piano and sang to the harp. The belles of the day smfled upon him; Miss Catherine Van Rensselaer, of Albany, and Miss Cora Livingston, the same who in her old age, as Mrs. Barton, sold the great Shakspearean library to the city of Bos­ ton. The most conspicuous married belle of that day was known as Mrs. i Florida White, so called because her husband represented that region, then new and strange. More eccentric than this sobriquet were the genuine names in the household of Mrs. Peter, grand­ daughter of Mrs. Washington, and the fiercest of Federalists, who had named her daughters America, Columbia, and Britannia, the last by way of defiance, it is said, to Jefferson. _ With these various charmers Mr. Quincy attended many a ball in Washington, these en­ tertainments then keeping modest hours --from 8 to 11. He saw a sight not then considered so modest--the intro­ duction, in 1826, of the first waltz, danced with enthusiasm by Baron Stackelburg, who whirled through it without removing his huge dragoon spurs, and was applauded at the end for the skill with which he avoided col­ lisions that might have been rather murderous. The young Bostonian also went to dinner-parties; sometimes at the White House, either formal state dinners of forty gentlemen and ladies, or private occasions, less elaborate, where he alone among witnesses found the Presi­ dent "amusing." He gives also an agreeable picture of the home and household manners of Daniel Webster, not yet fallen into those questionable Erivate habits which the French M. iacourt, sixteen years afterward, too faithfully chronicled. Mr. Quincy also found the Vice President, John C. Cal­ houn, a man most agreeable in his own house, while Miss Calhoun had an ad­ mirable gift for political discussion. The presence of these eminent men lent a charm even to the muddy streets and scattered houses of the Washington of that day. The two branches of Gov­ ernment then met in small, ill-arranged halls, the House of Representatives having huge pillars to intercept sight and sound, with no gallery, but only a platform for visitors, but little higher than the floor. In this body the great Federal party had left scarcely a rem­ nant of itself, JJr. Elisha Potter, of Rhode Island, describing vividly to Mr. Quincy a caucus held w-hen the faith­ ful few had been reduced to eleven, and could only cheer themselves with the thought that the Christian apostles, after the desertion of Judas, could number.no more. The houses of Con­ gress were still rather an arena of de­ bating than for set speeches, as now; and they had their leaders, mostly now fallen into that oblivion which waits so surely oil merely political fame. Daniel Webster, to be sure, was the great or­ nament of the Senate; but McDuffie, of South Carolina, and Storrs, of New York, members of the House, had then a national reputation for eloquence, though they now are but the shadows of names. To these must be added Archer, of Virginia, too generally des­ ignated as "Insatiate Archer," from his fatal long-windedn ess.--T. W. Hig- ginson, in Harper's Magazine. English Trade Marks. Mr. Edward Waters, Patent and Trade Marks office, 87 Bourke Street, Melbourne, Australia, writes : "One of my household suifered with toothache and rheumatism, and, after trying numerous other remedies without relief, tried St. Jacobs Oil. It was rubbed on the cheek and plugged in the tooth, and well rubbed in for rheumatism. In both cases the care was immediate Nand complete, and in neither case has the pain returned/] Successful High Art.

"What was the design--that is--what did the picture represent?" asked the city boarder, timidly. "Rainstorms just eomin* on from the northwest," replied the old man. "When my wife first brought that mag­ nificent specimen into the family it actually made everything moldy ia the- room where it was hung; so moldy that we had to take it out We hung it in the children's bed-room next time, and before we know'd it every last one of 'em had the croup and four of 'em came near dyin'. The last night we had the picture in the house we stood it on a chair in the kitchen and the stove was crusted over with a quarter of an inch of rust next morning--clean, clear rust And the sugar and salt and soap was all melted and everything in the room sweating BO that you would a sworn that it bad rained all night and had been followed by a heavy fog. But the skies were as clear as a l>ell and there was no gettin' around but what the pic­ ture done the business."--Detroit Free Prems. ) Exercise Caution in eating and drinking, particularly If yonr bowels exhibit a tendency to became eastty dis­ ordered.

Near the close of one of tbe most trying of the few hot days of the present year a pale, care-worn woman might have been seen at the window of her dwelling apparently In a condition of complete exhaustion. Her ef­ forts to meet the accumulated duties of her household had been great but unsuccessful, while the care of a sick child, whose wails could even then be heard, was added to her otherwise overwhelming troubles. Nature bad done much for her, and in her youtbtul days she had been not only beaut.ful but the possessor of health such as is seldom seen But home and family duties and tbe depress­ ing cares which too often accompany them had proven greater than her splendid strength,and she felt at that inon:ent not only • that life was a burden but that death would be a grand relief. Tb^i is no unusual expe­ rience* It is, in fact, a most common, every­ day occurrence, and a great prayer is con­ stantly ascending from thousands of homes for dehveranoe from the deadly power which is enslaving BO many wives, mothers, and daughters. And yet these duties oc life must be met. No woman can afiord to turn aside from the prorer care of her home and the ones who are committed to her care, although in doing these duties she n ay sacrifice her health, and possibly life itself. The experi­ ence of one who successfully overcame such trials, and yet retained health and £11 the bleseiiifs it brings, la thus told by Kev. W.ll- Elder of the Metho­ dist Episcopal Church, reslding^itWatertown. N. Y. He said: 'My wife became completely run down through overwork and care of a sick member ot our 1 cusehold, and 1 entertained serious apprehensions as to her future. Sha was languid, paJc, utterly exhausted, without ap­ petite, and in a complete state of physical tleciine, And yet she did not, could not, n gleet her duties. I have seen her about the house, trylnir courageously to care for the ones she loved when 1 could tell, from the lines upon her facc, how much she was suffering. At times she would rally for a day or two and then fa.l back into the state of nervous exhnustion Bhe felt before. Her head pained her frequently, her body was becoming howed by pain, an-i all hopi> or en- joyment in life seemed departed. What odo we could not tell. I resol, ed, however, to bring back her life and vitality if possible, and to this end began to treat her myself. To my great relief her system hns been toned up, 1 er strength restoiod, her heaith completely recovered, and wholly by the use ot Warner's Tippecanoe, which I re­ gard as the greatest tonic invigorntor and stou:ach remedy that has ever been discov- ercJ' 1 was led to use it tho more readily as I had tested the health-restoring proper­ ties of Warner's Safe Cure in my own per­ son, and I, therefore, knew that any remedy Mr. Warner might produce would be a val­ uable one. 1 have since recommended both \N arner's Tippecnnoo and Warner s Sa'e Cure to many of my friends, and I know several Doctors of Divinity as well as numerous lay­ men who are using both with great bcnetit." If all the overworked and dut/-driven women of America could know of the expe­ rience above-described, and act upon the same, there can be little doubt that much of the pain, and most of the depressing in!'u- ences of life, might be avoided. Such truths are too valuable to remain unknown. Didn't Want a Beauty. | "Bo you are going to get married at last, Snigger ?" remarked Brown. "Yes, I have at laBt concluded to do so.

Well, I remembered the old adage; 'a thing of beauty is jawey forever,' so I thought I had better take my chances with a homely wife."--Texas Siftinga.

As they went home, she said to him, sweetly: "Darling, wouldn't you-like it if I were a statue?" "I hidn't thought of it, love." -"It would be so nice if I were; for then you could have me just the same for all years to come, with no fading, no dimming of the eyes, no wrinkled brow, no peevish old age, no nothing but pure white marble, the same yesterday, to­ day, and forever." "That would be nice, wouldn't it? And you couldn't talk any either, could you, love?" he said, absently, with a last summer look in his soft blue eyes. --Merchant Traveler.

JOHN BULL'S . SntfsToiicSfif FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER# AND ALL MALARIAL OISEASES The proprietor of this oslebrated medi­ etas justly claims for it a superiority over all remedial ever offered to the pablie for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PER­ MANENT cure of Ague and Fever, er Chill* and Fever, whether of short or long stand­ ing. Hs refers to the entire Western aad Southern country to bear him testimony to the troth of the assertion that in no eaie whatever will it fail to euro if The direc­ tions are stcictly followed and carried out. In a great many eases a single dose has been sufficient for a eure, and whole fami­ lies have beenoured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to oure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the dissase has been oheoked, more especially in diffloult and long-standing eases. Usu­ ally this medicine will not require any atd to keep the bowels ia good ordsT. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medioine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonio, a single dose of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suf­ ficient.
