where I will keep a supply of good fresh lime
constantly on hand, and will sell tho
Port Byron White Lime
so cheap that you eau well afford to use It to do
your plastering with. The Port Byron I.imo has
an excellent reputation both for cementing oual
lties und the large amount of good free working
mortar It will ui ke, as well as the beautiful
smooth w hitc surface it makes when used in fin
ishing plastering. It has three very great ad
vantages; first being a very light lime well burnt
and clear of core. It will make more mortar to SO
poun* s; second, it being a very cool-working
lime It is not so liable to crack in plastering, and
third, but by no moanstbe least to lie consider
ed. is that it forms a stronger cement than any
lime 1 know of. I shall keen on hand the very
best native lime in the market, and will ,«4>re
oared to do any kind of plastering, cement

I write, my dear old chum, for the pur*
pose of inviting you to visit us. Don’t
refuse. My wife heartily seconds tbo
invirtation. Ah, Tom, sht’s a jewel—
wife- I know if you could meet suoh a
one you would forswear baol o'orhood
She is the dearest, sweetest, best tem
pered, loveliest—the English language
fails me here, but, as you are always
better than I on the unabridged, i
beseech you to look therein for some
endearing adjectives and oomplete the
sentence. You, Hall, wheo you have
seen my happy home, will ohange your
tuae. You must opine, Tom. I won’t
take a refusal. Yours, etc.,
Joe Hall.
I answered his letter, thus:
My Dear Jojs; l thought when I
last saw you I could neve* be tempted
to jeopardize my peace of mind or my
bones by again placing' myself at the
mercy of your practical jokes. But 1
have no other reoourse now than to ac
cept your invirtation. You must prom
ise me, my dear fellow, you will not
play any of your jokes. A married man
ought to be more dignified, and if you
play any tricks on me I warn you 1
shall board the first train for home.
Yours, etc. Tom ThursJton.
1 went, L was met at the train by
Joe’s servant, a man who had a long
body, dressed in a long coat, a long waist
coat, a long tie, a long hat, long boots,
and whose name was Long. I inetino
tively hated this man. He scrutinized
me closely; I returned his scrutiny.
He watched my every movement as a
detective would a supposed crminal. 1
watched his movements as a timid man
would a vicious canino’s.
We at lcDgth reached Joe’s house.
I anticipated Joe’s welcome, hut in his
placo came the loveliest woman 1 ever
saw. It is true, as Joe said, I was
always fluent in language, but to this
day 1 cannot flud words to satisfy me
in describing her eurpasslng beauty.
“Joe, Joe," thought I, “it is well for
you that you met her first.
“You are Mr. Thurston?’ she asked
timidly approaching me, and shyly
glancing at mo from under her eyelids.
I informed her I was the personage, and
inquired for Joe.
For answer,, that gentleman himself
who was ou horseback, sprang from the
saddle, grasped my baud, and like the
irrepressible Joe of old, cried:
“Glad to sec you, old boy! We’ll have
glorious good times, as of old! We'll
hunt, fish, smoke, etc., till you grow
so fat, hale and hearty that your most
intimate friends wont know you. Come,
let’s go in: tea is waiting. Pardon me
for not introducing you, but I suppose
you introduced yourself in my absence.
Apropos, it was inhospitablo in me to
absent myself on your arrival, but busi.
ness called mo away.’’
So rattling on, Joe ushered mo into
the coziest little parlor that ever a poor
bachelor was ever called on to envy.
But tho cozy little wife? What was
tho envy of the room with its adorn
ments to the envy of such a wife?
Must I admit?—l might as well ad
mit it righf here as at anyfurther period
of my recital—l felt a thrill at my heart.
It was a thrill of exquisite pain—a
thrill of jealousy of Joe’s happiness.
“Joe,” I mentally cried, “bettor, far
better for me if 1 had declined yonr
invitation.”
Presently we had a most rofreshijg
supper, after which Joe and l strolled
out fora walk and a smoke.
“Joe," I exclaimed, enthusiastically,
“your encomiums of your wife were
merited. She is indeed a treasurer.
By Jovo, if I could find such a jewel
I would never rest until I had won and
married her.”
Joo was on tho point of lighting a
cigar when 1 begun, but paused with
upraised match till I had finished—and
the match burned his fingers. I
thought for a time he was angry at my
impetuosity, but his face cleared away
and tho old wicked twinkle that I feared
so much oarne to his eyes. He grasped
my hand, saying:
“You’reright my boy; she’s the dear
est little wife in the universe. I'm
glad you like her. ’
After we had finished our cigars and
tulkc some time of our old collego days,
we reentered the house,
“Nellie,” criod Joe, opening the
piauo, “favor Tom and me with Ja tune.
He has a passion for music.”
“Perhaps, Mr. Thurston” —began she,
but was interrupted by Joe.
“No, Nellie. I protest! No mister
ing around here. It’s plain Tom.
Do you hear, Tom ? She’s to call you
Tom, and you’ro to call her Nellie. Vio
lation of this rule will incur my eternal
displeasure. Govern ‘yourselves ac
cordingly.”
“Perhaps he will object,’ pleaded
Nellie.
“No, no,” 1 exclaimed; “it will please
me very much —and—I will feel
highly honored to be allowed to address
you by that name.”
“Pshaw, Tom! It’ll please her.
Won’t it Nell?”
She laughed and gavo mo a bewitch
ing look accompanied by a nod.
“I was going to said Nellie,
“that perhaps you oould sing with me.”
“No, no, excuse me; I can’t sing
Nellio”
The word was uttered with a gasp
and 1 certainly tamed violently red in
the face.
Joe was looking at mo, and 1 saw he
had a desperate strugglo to control the
muscles of his mouth.
I was indeed fond of music, but I
was entranced with her magniiioent
voice. The evening passed on golden
wings. Joo ran on in his wild old ways,
told his jokes and laughed just as
boisterously as he did when we roomed
together at college. He |did not give
us much chance to join in the conversa
tion; for ono comio anecdote reminded
him of another which he must tell. We
both laughed heartily at his stories, and
talked volumes to each other with our
eyes.
That night I dreamed that I loved
Nellie. (Oh, truthful dream!) I
dreamed she reciprocated that love (Oh,
vaiu dream 1) Then I dreamed intrigue
began. Wo determined to elope. My
heart bled for poor Joe, but I folt it was
death to live without her. Now she
has met me under the south of Joe’s
house. I see her pale, excited face!
I feel her nervous hand clasping mine!
Now we are fleeing! Joe is on our track!
We glide along smoothly in a light boat.
Now we are safe and she is mine—mino
forever! But <io, Joe faster? Joe ap
proaches swiftly. Now he closes in on
us? He has oaught her in his cruel
grasp! Her beautiful, pleading oyes
are raised to mine! 110 raises a knife
aloft! Then I catch his arm, we strug
gle silently together, I wrest the knife
from his grasp and plunge it into his
breast, and he drops from the misty
boat and sinks beneath tho dark waves!
How dark the river has grown by the
light of tho moon! The gaunt and ghaitly
figure of Mr. Long suddenly emerges
from the waves! I saw him eatoh my
darling in his long arms, and before I
oould interfere, thoy had both disappear
od beneath the turbid waves of the
river! This awoke m 3. I arose and
resumed my wearing apparel, bathed my
feverish face and went forth into the
air to try and exorcise the ovil spirits
with a cigar.
JOE’S WIFE.
Herald.
By the ensuing morning my dream
had ceased to trouble me, but the roality
of things did not cease. There was
Aellie and all her beauty, all her sweet
ness to tempt me on to love her. There
was Joe, with all his exuberance of spirit
and as unsuspicious as a child. He
seemed to do all in his power to bring
us together. He ofteu lured us ioto
interesting conversation or managed to
get us engaged in singing and playing
and leave us alone for houis. Days
passed away and lapsed into weeks; in
these weeks I was almost the constant
companion of Nellie Hall. We were
riding, boating, and to innumerable
concerts and entertainments, all through
the suggesting and planning of Joe. I
felt and well knew the danger; I was
fascinated at first—and now I was ir
retrievbaly in love.
The thought of breakiog away
from this oharrning creature caused me
pain like unto death. I resolved to
leave. No matter what it cost me, the
honorable oourse for me to pursue was
to return to the city and forget—no,
not forget, for never could 1 forget the
only woman 1 ever did or could love.
Joe was absent on the day 1 arrived
at this determination. All the better 1
thought; it would be easier to get away.
1 proceeded to pack up and get ready
to go on the evening train. I noticed
during the progroas of paoking, that
long body of Long was overshadowing
me. He seemed determined not to let
anything escape his observation.
At length when I bad finished my
work, he approaohed me. His long
arm was raised to his breast pocket, and
from thence he extracted a letter whioh
he banded to me. I tore it open: it
was from Joe and read thus:
“Thomas Thurston you are a traitor!
Ino longer doubt your perfidy. Long
has watched yon and Nellie closely. It
is useless to deny yonr intention of
eloping with her. I demand satisfaction
and it can only be ’from your heart’s
blood. Meet me on the river bank, and
by the light of the moon and in the pres
once of Long we will settle our
differences.’’
I looked up. Long had disappear
ed and in his plaoe stood Nellie.
“Why, you’ro not going to leave us
are you?’’ she asked.
I thought she addressed me in a tono
of regret I looked into her bright
eyes—such beautiful loving eyes!
How oould 1 pain her? How could I
drivo the blood from oheeks and the
light from her eyes by showing her
Joe’s letter and telling all? She came
very near me and said coaxiogly:
“Don’t go Tom; I will bs so lonely
here now.’
“I cannot slay, Nellie, I regret
having io leave you ’’ My words
came fast aud almost inarticulated. “I
thought to be on my way now and can
only stay long enough to bid you adieu/’
“But Tom, what will Joe say? Surely
you will stay till he eomes!”
“No, no. I cannot Nellie; indeed I
cannot. 1 can never forget the happi
ness I have had here this summer; bat
I must leave you now, and fear—it is
forever!”
My voice was unsteady; and l clasped
both her hands very tightly in mine.
“Forever!” she repeated. “O, Tom,
for ever!”
W hat a world of tenderness, of re*
gret, io her intonations. It died away
like a wall of woe.
“No Nellie; never shall I see you
again—never!”
“Never!" the moan died away and the
beautiful eyes wore raised to mine in
speechless agony, that wrung my heart
with paio.
“Oh Nellie, do not break my heart!
My grief, wretchedness is beyond bear
ing now. Your beloved eyes looking
into mine will baunt me in coming years.
Yon know our secret; recriminate if you
will, Nellie my darling!”
A light sprung into her eyes; strange
dazzling light that spread over her
beantiful face, the light of measureless
love, of a transport of joy.
“Farewell!” I cried in a husky voioe,
not daring to stay longer; “farewell!”
and I turned to go, when her fingers
closed over iniae. 1 turned to her
again and she threw her arms about my
neck.
“You must not go! You shall not go!
for I love you !” aud the beaming face
was bidden on my breast.
A chuckling noise from behind start
led us; it broke into a laugh, then into
loud shoutß and frightful roars, inter
mingled with hideous guffaws and a
woman’s musical laugh, till the hills
echoed and reechoed the sound.
Nellie’s face was suffused with blushes
and she drew away from me; but I
olasped her more closely; a light break
ing in on my bewiiderd brain
“Ha! ha! ha!” roared Joe, whiio
Long emitted a series of strange sounds
very like a laugh. “Ho! ho! hoi
Long—ha! ha! ha! wife —Tom
thought sister Nell was—bal ha! ha!—
was my wife!”

SECRETS OF THE i’RINTINO OFFICE.
Oae Class of .Men Who Were Never known
f« Betray Professional Confidence.
London Printer and stationer.
Printers havo never, we think, re
ceived due appreciation for ' the
honorable confidence which they
have preserved in regard to the se
crets with which they havo neces
sarily been entrusted.* Such a case
as this often happens. An article in
a newspaper or magazine makes
what is called a “sensation. ’ It is
entirely anonymous, and public
curiosity is excited to the utmost to
discover the name of the author.
The writer may be a cabinet minist
er, a high official, a courtier, or any
of the thousand and one persons who
if he were suspected of writing for
the press, would at once lose his po
sition, his office—perhaps his reputa
tion. On tho other hand, the writer
may bo a struggling author, a hard
working journalist, or a more literary
amateur. In any case his secret is
preserved; his anonymity is safe as
long as it is confined to the printers.
Somo yoars ago there was a great
stir made about a book ontltled
“Kceo Homo.” It was a clever work,
and had an unoxarnplod success.
“Who is tho author?” was the
quostion on o very body’s lips. Sotno
scores of porsons were named, and
they repudiated their participation in
it. All sorts of conjectures woro
hazarded, and no doubt large sums
would have boon paid by several
conductors of jout rials for authentic
information as to the name of the
author. Yet that name was known
to a master printor, hisovorsocr, and
at least to some of tho compositors,
but it was never rcvoalod. When
the name was published, it was not
through the instrumentality of tho
printers, but entirely independent of
them. Thoyhad faithfully kopt the
secret.
Going back a fow yoars, the
authorship of tho“ Waverly Novels’’
may bo referred to as a remarkable
incident of literary history. Sir
Waller Scott’s authorship, although
known by twenty persons, including
u nurnbor of printers, was so well
concealed that the great novelist
could not oven in his matchless
vocabulary, find words or praise
sufficient to express the sense of his
grateful acknowledgment and won
dering admiration for the matchless
fidelity with which the mystery had
been preserved.
There is another species of secre
cy— that relating to tho careful
supervision of conndcntial public
documents, books printed foi secret
sociotios, and tho authorship of arti
cles or pamphlets, as already refei red
to, whieh has been most honorably
maintained. When treaties are pro
maturely published in newspapers
tho copy is obtained from some leaky
or venal official, and not from any of
the printers who set up or work off
the original. A easo of this kind
occurred a year or two ago, wherein
a convention betwoen this country
and anolhet power was revealed to
one of tho ovening newspapers. In
tho foreign office, at Whitehall, there
is a rogular staff of printers always
at work, and if those men liked they
might lot out secrets of tho most
momentous kind, any ono of which
would perhaps, in those days of
journalistic competition, be worth a
fow hundred pounds. But such a
dereliction of duty has never yet oc
cured; it was a clerk, and not a com
positor, who botrayod his trust.
Most honorable to tho profession is
tho story ot Harding, tho printer,
who bravely bore imprisonment rath
er than reveal tho authorship of tho
celobratod “Drapier” letters. Tho
prihtorsatin his cell calmly refusing
the entreatios of his frionds to divulge
thenamooftho writor, Dean Swift,
a church magnate, and a great wit,
who dressed himsolf in tho disguise
of a low Irish peasant, and sat by,
listening to tho noble refusal and the
louder importunitios. only anxious
that no word or glance from the un
fortunate printer should roveal the
secret. Swift was bent solely upon
securing his own safety at tho ox
ponso of the printer; ho cowered
before tho legal danger which Hard
ing nobly confronted. Tho world
has unequally allottod the meed ol
fame to tho two combatants. The
wit and the printor both fought tho
battlo for the liberty of the press,
until the sense of an outraged com
munity released tho typographer
fYom tho peril so nobly oncountorod.
A thousand othor instances of
similar fidelity bus bcon exhibited.
In short, it is part of the professional
honor of a printor not to disclose,
either wantonly or from venal mo
tives, the secrets of any office in
which ho is employed.
This is also tho allegiance which
printers pay to their chief, in not
divulging important intelligence. In
some cases a compositor is necessarily
entrusted with an itom of nows
which would bo nogotiablo itnmodi*
ately, and worth pounds to him. Sel
dom or never is there n betrayml of
trust in this wav. Tho examination
papers, printed so extensively in
London, are of tho most tremendous
importance to certain classes, who
would pay almost any sum to obtain
tho roughest proof tho night before.
An instance of this kind occurred
quite recently. “A printei was got
at,” and promisod a considerable
amount of money for u rough proof.
What was his course ot action? Ho
simply informod the authorities, and
tbo tomptor was punished. It was
anothoranda creditable example of
how well and honorably kopt are tho
secrets oft he printin g office.
A War Anecdote.
During tho lato war Genera'
McLaws, now postmaslor atSavanab,

“Look here, ray man, uro you not a

“Well, gineral, you must excuse tno;

THE B. k 0. FAST TRAINS.
Eleven flours Quicker to Washington
than any Other Lin*.
From the Chicago Tribune
The new fast train on the Baltimore
and Ohio goes on to-day, and will,
doubtless, at once become the popular
line to Washington and the east, as
it is no less than eleven hours quicker
between this city and the National
Capital than the fastest train by any
other line. It is tho only train out
of Chicago b}* which Washington can
be reached with but one night on the
road, while its time to New York and
Boston is the same as that mado by
the fastest of competing lines. Pas
sengors leaving here at 5:15 p. m.
reach Washington tho next evening,
the run being made in less than
twenty-eight hours, without change
of cars of any class. An immense
amount of work has boon done upon
tho track, a large forco of men being
still distributed along tbc entire line.
The Janney, the latest, and by many
of tho loading railread men declared
the best of all coupling platforms, has
just been introduced upon tho pas
senger equipment of the B. k O. which
by the way is of tho finest run out of
this city. The company, as is well
known, owns its own dining stations,
and thoso have recently been renovat
od and placed under the immediate
supervision of tho Gale Bros., old and
well known hotel men. The B. A
O. has evidently determined to hold
its own out of Chicago and the west
generally, and certainly the traveling
public will not ho slow to appreciate
the advantage offered. By this new
order of things Baltimore also gains
greatly at all its eastern points,
reaching Philadelphia,, New York
and Boston at the same time a* the
fastest trains of other roads.

One of the managers of a hospital ask

are so many inferior preparations claim
ing to be cures for Coughs, Colds, etc.,
that when a remedy of genuine merit is
brought to light, I consider it the daty of
every one benefit ted thereby, to recom
mend it to the public. I can say unquali
fiedly that for those ailment for which it
is prepared, “Dr. arner’s bite ine
of Tar Svrup, for Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
etc.,” is the most effective remedy I hare
ever met. It will certainly give satisfac
tion when it is given a trial.

Impure Breath.
Among all the disagreeable consequen
ces that follow the decay of tbe teeth, an
impure breath must be the most mortify
ing and unpleasant to the possessor, and
it is the most inexcusable and offensive
in society; and yet the cause of it may
easily be removed by cleansing your teeth
daily with that justly popular dentifrice,
Fragrant SOZODONT. It purifies and
sweetens the breath, cools and refreshes
the mouth, and gives a pearl-like appear
ance to the teeth. Gentlemen who in
dulge in smoking should cleanse their
teeth with SOZODONT, as it removes all
unpleasant odors of the weed. Ask roar
druggist for it.
A down east circus has a cannibal
among its attractions, but the foolish re
luctance of women to give up their ba
bies deprives him of many opportunities
to show off.
Is it Possible
That a remedy made of such common,
simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake,
Dandelion; &c., make so many and such
marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop
Bitters do? It must be, for when old and
young, rich and poor, Pastor and Doctor,
Lawyer and editor, all testify to having
been cured by them, we must believe and
doubt no longer. See other column.
Mark Twain says he cant write iu a

A new method in Medicine.
By this new method every sick person
cau get a package of the dry vegetable
compound, Kidney-Wort, and prepare for
themselves six quarts of medicine. It is
a specific cure for Kidney Diseases, Liver
Complaint, Constipation and Piles, and a
grand tonic for females.
It is said that one glass ol plain soda
water costa one-tenth of a cent, and yet
it makes as much splutter and noise as a
glass of champagne.
They work Together.
When your system gets out of tune and
you feel completely played out, it is pret
ty certain that you need a medicine to act
on both the kidneys and liver, for these
important organs work together in free
ing the system of its waste, and keeping
up the tone. Then take Kidney-wort,
for this is just what it does, for it Is both
diuretic and carthartic.
Cats usually have no political belief.
They are on the fence.
Will it pay? is the first* question asked
by the American people before an invest

can be done iu the worst case of Uheuro
atism is 75 cents invested in a bottle of
Dr. Rosanko’s Rheumatic Cure. For sale

Blue Stockings.
Tho term “Blue Stockings,” so
often applied to literary Indies, orig
inated in tho time of Dr. Johnson.
Boswell relatos in 1781 that it was the
fashion for ladies to form evening
classes, that i hey might participate
in thought with literary and ingen*
ious men. One of tho best of tbe
members, who rejoiced in tho name
of Stillingfleet, invariably appeared
with his pedal extremities encased in
bluo worsted stockings. When absent,
it was bomoaned by his associates,
“wo can do nothing without ‘Blue
Stockings.’” From him the term
gradually was transferred to ladies’
clubs. Finally, for pedantic or ridic
ulously literary ladies, this term is
sacredly kopt. Unions of blue stock
ings were often hold at Mrs. Mon
tague’s house, and generally honored
by the presence of Dr. Johnson. The
principal members of this club are
sketched and eulogized by Hannah
More in her “Bas Bleu.”
