The Tobacco from which the
“Little Carrie” Cigars
(Sold only at Odor’s Palace Grocery)
A RE made Is grown entirely in couser
J\. vatories, and the cigars are made on
mahogany tables by thoroughbred Cu mis
in swallow-tail coats and while Kid gloves.
When a man smokes one of these cigars,
ho walks an air, and dreams that he has a
diamond scarf-pin and a sixty-five dollar
suit of clothes, and just ma ried rich. It
makes the breath sweet, .nd keeps the
teeth white, and will force a moustache on
the rmoothest lip in five weeks. Any man
who wants lo start a railroad can do so
with these cigars without fear of failing
to make a connection or putting m a cross
ing in less than three hours.
It permeates the house, window curt ains,
closeis and clothes, with fragrance dihcate
and the exquisite scent of heliotrope, new
mown hay, jockey club and while rose. It
will fasten the front gate every night, and
carry in the paper In the evening, Chase
the cuts from the garden, drive tic hens lo
water and “baldly ever” fall to make one
feel hotter nil over. No well regulated
family can properly keep house without
them; for the man who smokes this cigar
will never out wood too long for Inc
stove, never swear when lie puts up stove
pipes, never step on a lady’s train, join a
club or gk down near tho postofficc after
supper. _

•FOR BUTTER. FOR WORuE.”
“ Ho is tho worst of all characters for
i husband—an idle man—Hattie, and,
I fear, he adds to it the baseness of a
1 fortune-hunter.”
! “ Ton shall not speak so of him I I
will not listen to the slander! Ho loves
! mo— of that I am convinced. I have
I not been an heiress so lone not to have
learned when a man lies and feigns a
passion for interest, when"—and her
i voice grew richer and lower —“ ho
: speaks to me from his heart. I have
tested him, weighed him well; ho has
faults, many of them, but deceit is not
one. He loves mo 1”
Mr. Stewart looked sadly at the ngi- j
I tated girl as, carried away with her own
generous warmth, she left her seat and
stood erect before him.
“ Uncle Lewis, trust mo, trust him.
Lot me bo his wife with your consent." |
“O. what avail will it be for me to {
refuse it, Hattie? Yon are eighteen to
morrow, and by your father's will free
! to choose your husband; your property j
becomes yonr own, and my office as I
i your guardian ceases.”
“ But not your position as my friend,
my uncle, my second father. Can yon
think I was bound to obey you by none
| but legal ties; that, my love, respect and
| submission were paid only to my guar-
I dian ? I come to you, not as the guar- j
j dian whos power expires to-morrow, I
, but as the friend who, 1 trust, will
j stand by me through life; I come for
j counsel, affection and advice. Bo not ]
j tell me coldly that I am free to choose
Imy own lot. Speak to me now as you
have always done—as if I were your
child.”
“Hattie, Hattie, how can I speak?
If truly, I shall grieve you. But you
ate right; you come to a friend for 1
counsel, and he will speak as a friend
should. Review Edward Du Ruud’s
life, and see it I am not justified in my
fears. Raised by parents wuose means
were just sufficient to give him a liberal
education and support him independent
of business. Their small fortune he in
herited -on thuir death, and lost by
speculation, leaving him a mere pit
tance. He had studied Jaw, and with
j energy and industry could have carved 1
out a fortune and a name. What did
he do? Absolutely nothing. With a
fascinating manner and splendid educa
tion he cultivated every refined taste,
indulged in every extravagance and
lives a life of complete idleness, with
means barely to support him. His
office is a lounging placo for men of
fashion, who repay his hospitality by
inviting him to the opera, rides or
drives. To crown all he woosau heiress,
That her purse may supply him with his
perfumes, kid gloves and fast horses.”
“ You are severe.”
“I fear I am just.”
“ Take tho reverse of the picture.
Edward was an only child, of fine
talents, and tie pride of both parents.
From his birth every whim was in
dulged, every caprice met compliance;
his profession was studied merely as a
| refuge in cate of necessity, and he was
launched an orphan upon tho world
with cultivated mind, refined tastes, ox
stravagant desires and an easy fortune
The roguery of a friend persuaded him
to the specula)i<'ii which ruined him.
He stood alone. His income was suf
ficient for a single man; ho was popu
lar in society, courted by the men foi
his wit, his good humor and his pro
ficiency in athletic exercises; by ladies
i
for his talent in conversation, music aim
gallantry. Withont any stimulus to
exertion, ho suffered his time to pass !
in floating lazily down the tide of time, j
content to let each day find its own oc
cupation. Then ho met mo, and his
whole view of life changed. For my
sake he will renew his studies, open his
office for business and begin a new life.
Don't shake yonr head so mournfully;
trust to a woman’s heart and instinct.
There is a mine of good in this spoiled
child's heart; lot mo bo tho agent by
which it is worked to produce good
fruit. He stands now in a perilous po
sition; my refusal will throw him back
on his old life, with a heart ready to
dare much evil, reckless and hard, to
be wrecked in dissipation, or sour in
misanthropy; my lovo will win him to
nobler aims and higher aspirations."
“It is a dangerous experiment, Hat
tie.”
“ Only one more argument and I leave
the decision in your bauds : I love him!
For his sake I could bear sorrow,
poverty, anything but inconstancy.
With him life will be glad through any
suffering; without him, the future
looks monruful and dreary. If you so
decide I will dismiss him, but my
heart will break in doing it, for I love
him!"
And so, by her last argument, Hattie
Lawler won her uncle’s consent to her
uairiago.
Tho world shrugged its shoulders
when the nows came out. The men
congratulated Edward upon Lis success,
and smiled knowingly to one another
as they spoke; tho women shook their
heads and wondered how Hattie could
ho so blind as not to see through “that
dandv’s” schemes.
They had been married one year, and
Hattie was beginning to wonder if Ed
ward hud been seeking her fortune
after all. He was devoted as ever,
kind, loving and fascinating; but not
one client had placed a brief in his
hands, and she knew that their expen
sive house, mode of living and luxuries
were drawn from her purse. She was
speculating upon this when a quick,
manly step, a cheerful voice made every
doubt vanish, and she looked up to
greet her husband.
“I have come up for you to ride Hat
tie, so don yonr habit I The broad
braids, little wife —you know my weak
ness. Nothing sits oil' such mignon
little faces us yours like heavy braids
I and drooping plumes.”
j “Nonsense I”
“Sense, I assure you. When you
tie that black beaver over those dark
brown braids, and lot tho broad rim
! shade your face, I defy tho world to pro
duco auen an irresistible little female.”
| She was nimbly plaiting tho rich pro
fusion of hair while he spoke, and there
was a long silence. Taming from tho ;
glass for his approving smilo, she was
1 surprised to see him sunk into a reverie,
aud to judge from his appearance aj
| fniuful one.
“What is it, Edward?"
He raised his head as he felt her soft
i hand on his shoulder.
| “The old story, Hattie. Nobody j
I trusts mo but you; 1 cannot command
one client. They think that my motive
! in marrying was a mercenary one, and |
they hold back irom me. Let him live ,
| on his wife’s money, and leave the pro
fession open to those dependent on it
| for bread.”
“lam almost tempted to echo the
wish.”
“No, Hattie, there are temptations
enough for mo to live in luxurious in- [
dolence ; let your influence hear where |
; it has ever rested, upon something [
noble, it you can find it in such a
wasted nature as mine.”
“ If I had not found it, should I bo
your wife now ? Who first led mo to
see where my wealth could bring me
the blessings of the poor ? Who pointed
cut to mu the secret charities that make
lonely hearts glad, and comfort prond
poverty without the weight of obliga
tion? Who told me of students strug
gling to support a widowed mother, or
sister, or vainly trying to save the
means of getting an education ? Whose
delicate, searching and anonymous
letters have sent relief to those tempted |
to curse tho world and die, yet too j
proud to wear any but a smiling face
over a wrecked heart ? How proudly, I
say, my husband lod me to such deeds
and taught me that wealth is lent to
give an account at last, whether wasted
or blessing others.”
“Ah 1 Hattie, yonr sweet face first
made mo lock back into my own heart
and find there only wasted opportuni
ties and a useless life. What wonder if
I turned from such a sight to try and
aid you in your own loving charity,
only bringing a man’s frequent oppor
tunities to assist yon in your work ?"
“Tho horses, sir I” said n servant, and
Hattie sprang up from her seat beside
her husband to get her hat.
Another year and the crash of 1873
swept Hattie Du Rand’s fortune away.
Her uncle came to tell the news, and
left her stunned—sick with the prospect
of poverty, aud, spite of herself, shud
dering at tho thought of her husband’s
dismay. All tho weary day passed and
he came not, Had he left her to bear
her cross alone ? Stung, indignant at
Lor own heart for such a thought, it
j would recur as the evening set in and
;he came not. Wearied and waiting,
| sick with apprehension, she threw her
; self on the sofa and sobbed in bitter
ness and loneliness.
Hark I The well known stop on the
stairs; hnt not slow as one disap
pointed, but springing and light,
“ Flo does not >nnw," she thought,
“ and I must tell him I"
He came in with such a bright face,
his cheeks glowing, bis eyes bright, his
lips smiling, that she turned faint at
tho thought that she must blast all his
joyousness.
“Crying, Hattie?" he said, witjj his
face changing to a look of tender sym
pathy.
“ You ore very into,” she said, trying
to steady her voice.
“ Oh, you must got used to that. I
I shall keep business hours now. Off in
tho morning—home for an hour at
lunch—and then off again till dinner.”
“ Have you heard V” she whispered.
“Yes. Do I seem hard and unfeel
ing, darling ? Forgive me But, Hat
tie dear, you shall not feel any priva
tions that my love can keep from you.
We shall not be rich; many things
must ho spared; yet, trust me, I will
work hard before yon shall suffer. Oh,
I cannot—l cannot help it, Hattie! I
1 am glad—glad of this I You are mine.
Now I can prove to yon and to tho
world that your fortune was nothing to
mo. I have seen yonr uncle to-day,
and through his kindly exerted influ-
I ence I have secured the situation as
bookkeeper in a wholesale grocery
store.”
“You—you, Edward, with your re
fined tastes and luxurious habits?”
“Why, Hattie, the salary is SI,OOO
a year. Think of earning that 1”
“Oh, Edward, my own love!” And
hero tho sobs came too thick for more
words. His own voice was husky as he
said:
“But for yon, Hattie, I should ho now
a miserable lounger—a gambler, per
haps, or worse. I feel that lam a man,
with a true heart and a willing energy,
and the turning point of my life was
your words, ‘I tiust you, Edward.’
Yon did trust me, aud God willing, I
will win that trust worthily."
Nobly be kept his word. The
luxurious homo was sold, and in a quiet
house they began life again humbly.
There is one child, a second Edward,
to knit his parents’ hearls in a yet
i closer bond, and Hattie knows that be
tween her and poverty there stands a
willing, strong man.
“For bettor, for worse,” they took
their path in life together, and tho
trust of their betrothal will make their
life sunny, though sorrow may for a
j time shade their way.

Consumption.
Consumption usually begins with a
slight, dry cough in tho morning, then
on going to bed, getting more and more
frequent, with more and more phlegm,
increasing debility, thinness of flesh,
shortness of breath, and quickening
pulse. In fatal cases its average course
is about two years; hence tho import
ance of arresting the disease at as early
a stage as possible, and tho sooner ra
tional means are employed for this pur
pose tho greater tho chances of success.
The disease is owing to an irritation
commencing in the throat and extend
ing to the lungs, so that their action is
interfered with, and the blood does not
receive nuflicient oxygen to purify it.
Tho first thing to be done is to remove
tho obstruction, which is tho irritation
or congestion of tho lungs. Four
ounces uf glycerine, two ounces of
1 alcohol, two ounces of water, and one
| grain of morphine make an excellent
i mixture for relieving the cough. It
should bo taken in doses of two teaspoon
fuls every two hours until tho cough
is relieved. Tho chest just below the
neck should be rubbed with tartar
emetio ointment every morning over a
space as large as tho hand, until a thick
crop of sores is brought out; then rob
i tho ointment between the sores to bring
out a new crop. Meantime, the patient
should take regular and vigorous exer
ciso in tho open air. There is nothing
that equals horseback riding as a rem
edy for this disease. If a consumptive
wore to “ live in tho saddle ” and sleep
out of doors, taking care to keep the
feet dry aud warm, and to live upon
good, nourishing food—in short, to
“ rough it,” he would recover his health
in a few months, even if the disease had
made considerable progress. Tho trouble
is that it requires a strong will to carry
out so (invoke a course in spite of tho
languor aud debility which disposes an
invalid to quiet despondency. The
most marked sign of lung disease is
emaciation, and the most positive indi
cation of returning health is increase in
weight.— Hall's Journal of ITerllh,
In general pride is at the bottom ot
all great mistakes. All the other pas
sions do occasional good, but wherever
pride puts in its word everything goes
wrong, and what may be desirable to
do "uietly and innocently, it is morally :
dangerous to do proudly.

Story of a Poor Artist.
In an article on the struggle for ex*
istonco maintained by impecunious art* •
ists in Now York, the T\uth of that
city tells this story: But the hardship*
of this calling were probably never bet
ter illustrated than in the case of a
young Englishman who bad come to
this country thinking, as many another
European has thought, that he would
find America an El Dorado. He was
of the lightning artist school, and im
mediately upon his arrival in New York
made application to several illustrated
papers for work. In every instance be
found no opening, and encountered
only refusals.
Day after day he trudged about to
the different offices of the dailies, week
lies, monthlies—everything and any
thing—his portfolio under his arm,
begging that hie work might only be
inspected. But the refusals were as
persistent as his coming, and he finally
became such a nuisance that he was
almost literally kicked out of the dif
ferent offices.
Finally ho sold one sketch to the ed
itor of a weekly paper. Tho price was
one dollar, and ho was told to come the
next day aud get his money, He went
home to his young wife, who had come
all tho way from England with him, and
they both rejoiced over bis good for
tune. The sky looked much brighter
the next day when he wont for his dol
lar, but when he was told to come again
tho sunshine lost some of its warmth,
imi ho went home to his expectant wife
. and bread and tea, feeling that somehow
or other fortune hud tricked him.
He went again and again for that dol
lar, but was put off each time until ha
began to think that work sold was even
worse than work to be sold. Finally
the editor paid him the paltry sum, and
as he took it with a lump swelling up
into his throat and the tears almost in
his eyes, he said:
‘•I—I had to pay forty cents car-fare
to collect that dollar, sir!”
“Well, what of that; are you not
still sixty coats in V” was the philanthro
pic answer of this most Bamaritan-liko
editor.
But ill luck was not always in store for
this plucky young fellow, and one day
when ho had gone down to Harper’s,
expecting to bo turned away as 'usual,
he was surprised that the man to whom
he had applied took two of his sketches
into an inner room, aud after remaining
some time, returned and stated that the
work had been accepted and at once
cave tho surprised artist an order on
the cashier. Almost blinded with the
tears of joy that welled np from his
swelling heart, ho presented the order
and received the money without count
ing. When he had gotten into the
street ho counted it and found sl6. Ha
could not credit his fortune, and going
back to t he cashier, said:
“I think there is some mistake,
sir I”
Tho cashier counted tho money and
showed him the order for the amount
paid. He could scarcely get home fast
enough, and when he did arrive he
ordered his wife lo hold out her apron
and slowly counted the bills into it.
H'r eyes were distended to their utmost
as she asked incredulously:
“Is it all yours ?”
“I suppose there was much congrat
ulation after that ?” said Truth, to whom
the artist had related this story.
“No, sir,” was the quick reply,
“steak 1”
In all tho Bohemian classes of New
York there is probably no other which
affords so rich or interesting a theme
for study as that of the poor artists,
men and women, whose personal quali
ties certainly merit a bettor fate than
the starving condition in which moat of
them suffer,
A Monkey Witness.
A monkey witness is shortly to appeal
in a murder trial in an Indian court at
Baltura. A tiaveling showman, whose
living depended on five monkeys and a
goat, was recently murdered near a vil
lage, his troupe being killed with the
exception of one monkey, which ran up
a tree aud watched the assassins bnry
his muster aud his companions. When
all was quiet the monkey ran off to the
“patel” of the nearest village, and
made him understand by screeches and
signs that something was wrong. The
“ patel ” followed the monkey, which
led him to the place where hie master
was buried, and the murder was duly
discovered. The monkey is now kept
for tho identification of the assassins, d
plan which recalls the time-honorea
history of tho dog of Montargis.—
