A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory';"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.

"f dec hire, Matey, you are really
cross to-day ! You snapped quite
viciously at me j ust now when I
spoke of your guest, Mr. Gerard.
Wlmt is the matter with you ?"
My cousin Lilith sat up in the
hammock in which she had been
idly swinging for the last half hour,
and glanced curiously at me os she
spoke ; it was so unusual, this dis
play of temper on my part, that
Lilith was surprised ; how was she
to k
Gerard's name my heart stopped
beat in/, and I felt as if I was suffo
cating, and, if I spoke sharply, it
was only that she might not guess
how 1 suffered ?
"There is nothing the matter with
me," I said, in answer to her ques
tion. "I feel tired. I am going to my
room. I shall take a nap and get
rid of my temper before dinner."
I left her ns I spoke. But, when I
gained the seclusion of my own room
I looked the door, and instead of
preparing for a nap gave way to my
bitter misery.
Could it be possible that it was
only yesterday that Felix Gerard
had asked me to be his. wife—I, an
orphan and penniless, dependent
on the bounty of my kind aunt,
while he was rich and handsome, a
lit mate for the greatest lady in the
land ? No wonder that my happin
ess seemed too great to last. I felt as
if heaven had suddenly opened its
portals. Oh, the rapture of that mo
ment, when his dear arms were
about me,and I felt his touch!
"1 shall speak to your aunt to
morrow, little one," said he. "I have
something to tell you both about
myself, something you ought to
know ; but for this one day we will
keep our secret, sweetheart."
What a happy day it was ! Think
only one day of a lifetime ; one day
of happiness, to compensate for a
life of misery !
We spent the afternoon on the
water, returning in time for dinner.
As we said good-night, he took me
in his arms and kissed me.
"Dearest little woman, you have
made me very happy, and I will try
hard to make your future life a hap
py one. God bless my own darling !
Good night."
The next morning, when I awoke,
I wondered for a moment what had
happened to make me so intensely
happy. I remembered and jumped
quickly out of bed, began my toilet,
no foreboding of sorrow came to me
then.
Our letters were laid near the
plates at breakfast, and when I en
tered the dining room, I noticed
as one for Felix. He came in
later, and when he saw the letter, he
opened it, and when he read the
color left his face, and he looked like
a man suddenly bereft of life. He
recovered himself, and making an
excuse left the room.
My breakfast remained untouched
I felt that he was in trouble of some
kind, hut what ?
An hour later, a note was brought
me by one of the maids : It was
from Felix :
that at the sound of Felix
Matey : I am in the summer
house at the corner of the lane. Will
you come to me when you recieve
this ? Something has happned. I

Felix.
l snatched up u garden hut that
was in the hall, and ran instead of
walked, till I came to where my
darling waited. Without giving him
time to speak, I said :
"Oh, Felix, what is it ? I saw
your face when you read that hate
ful letter at breakfast, and I know
that something is wrong ; have you
lost your money ?
"Would to God that were all ! No,
dear ; my money is quite safe ; but,
oh ! Matey, I «lo not know how to
tell you the truth."
"Whatever it is, tell me at once ;
I can bear anything but suspense."
"You remember that yesterday I
said I had something to tell you
about myself. You never guessed
that I had been married."
I staggered hack.
Married ! And you dare ask me to
he your wife !"
"For God's sake, little one, do not
look at me like that ! I am not a
scoundrel. I thought I was free to
win you, darling ; you don't suppose
I would have spoken to you, had it
been otherwise ?"
"Then your wife is dead ?',
"For four years I believed eo, hut

of her death being a mistake. But
let me tell you the story of my folly
Matey. Eight years ago, when I
was a lad of 20,1 married a pretty
but ignorant girl. Too soon I dis
covered that she was addicted to
drink, and when we had been hut
two years married I was compelled
to separate from her. Through my
lawyer I made over part of my in
come for her support and went
abroad. Two years later I read of
her death in tile papers. I never told
anyone of my marriage and had
made up my mind to live single the
rest of my life ; but your sweet face
little woman, changed all my reso
lutions and I once more began to
to build fanciful pictures of my fu
ture—you, darling, being the chiet
figure in all."
At sight of his anguish my own
pain increased. I put my hand
gently on his bowed head.

says."

ANNIE UERAItD.
The writing was that of an uned
ucated person, and I pitied my poor
boy more than ever. I had no time
then to think of myself.
"Matey, dear, I shall leave here
to-day—I must not remain longer;
hut how can I part from you ? Oh,
darling, perhaps in the years to
come, when you have forgotten the
pain of this time, some other man
better than I may win you ; but no
other can love you better, or as well
as I."
"No other man will ever win me.
I gave you all the love I had to give
and I am r.ot one to change. I shall
go on loving you to the end of life.
God grant it may be a short one!"
"Matey, dear one, can you c.ver

into your young life ?"
"Hush, Felix ! It is not your
fault ; I do not blame you dear."

I remained there for hours, but at
last aroused myself and left the
summer-house. My cousin was in
the hammock, on the lawn, aiufcall
ed me, I turned mechanically, and
sat down on the grass, I paid no at
tention to what Lilith was saying ;
in fact I did not hear her until she
mentioned my darling's name.
"How strangely Mr. Gerard acted
at breakfast ! Did you notice it,
Maley ?"
It was then I spoke sharply, and
left her, and came to my own room.
How long I sat there 1 do not
know. I was aroused by a knock
at the door, and Lilith's voice ask
ing me if I was awake. 1 rubbed
my cheeks to get a little color in
them and opened the door.
My cousin came in and gave me
a note.
"Mr. Gerard received news that
compelled him to leave here at once
and left this note, as he did not
wish to disturb you to say good-by.
1 am sorry he has gone ; we shall
miss him very much."
I trembled as I look the note ; my
cousin noticed it and said :
"Matey dear, I fear you are not
well. Why you are trembling all
over !"
"I am chilly, that is all ; it will
soon be over."
She left me after a while, and when
I was alone again I opened the letter
and a ring dropped out—the one
that Feiix had always worn on his
little finger. This is what I read :

"
A Claim ta Human Gratitude,
Charlotte Corday, the sad-fuced,
tender-hearted peasant girl of Nor
mandy made great history by one
desperate act !
Sickened by the saturnalia of the
French revolution, and moved to
desperation as Robespierre and Marat
were leading the llo...V of France to
tlie guillotine, she determined that
she would put an end to Marat's
bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hun
dred thousand victims for the guil
lotine !
He proposed to kill off the ene
mies of the Revolution to make it
perpetual !
Horrible thought !
No wonder it fired the blood of
this patriotic peasant maid !
Gaining access to his closely guard
ed quarters by a subterfuge, she
found him in his bath, even then
inexorable and giving written direc
tions for further slaughter !
He asked her the names ol- i..
inimical deputies who had taken
refuge in Caen. She told him, and
he wrote them down. "That is well !
before a week is over they shall all
be brought to the guillotine !"
At these words, Charlotte drew
from her bosom the knife, and
plunged it with supernatural force
up to the hilt in the heart of Marat.
"Come to me, my dear friend,
come to me," cried Marat, and ex
pired under the blow !
In the Corcoran gallery at Wash
ington is a famous painting of Char
lotte, represented as behind the
prison bars the day before her
execution.
It is a thrilling, sad picture, full
of sorrow for her suffering country,
and of unconquerable hate for her
country's enemies.
What a lesson in this tragic story !
Two hundred, nay, five hundred
thousand people would Marat have
sacrificed to his unholy passion of
power !
Methods are quite as murderous
and inexorable as men, and they
number their victims by the mil
lions.
The page of history is full of
murders by authority and by mis
taken ideas ! In the practice of
medicine alone how many hundreds
of millions have been allowed to die
and as many more killed by unjusti
fiable bigotry and by bungling !
But the ago is bettering. Men
and methods are improving. A
few years ago it was worth one's
professional life to advise or permit
the use of a proprietary medicine.
To-day there are not physicians in
any town in this country who do
not regularly prescribe some form
of proprietary remedy !
H. II. Warner, famed all over the
world as the discoverer of Warner's
safe cure, began hunting up the old
remedies of the Log Cabin days;
after long and patient research he
succeeded in securing some of the
most valuable, among family re
cords, and called them Warner's
I.og Cabin remedies—the simple
preparations of roots, leaves, balsams
1 herbs which were the success
ful standbys of our grandmothers.
These eiiiiplc, old-fashioned sarsa
parilla, hops and buchu, cough and
consumption and other remedies
have struck a popular chord and
are in extraordinary demand all
over the land. They are not the
untried and imaginary remedies of
some dabster chemist intent on mak
ing money, but the long-sought prin
ciples of the healing art which for
generations kept our ancestors in
perfect health, put forth for the good
of humanity by one who is known
all over the world as a philanthrop
ist—a lover of his fellow man,—
whose name is a guarantee of the
highest standard of excellence.
The preparations are of decided
and known influence over disease,
and as in the hands of our grand
mothers they raised up the sick,
cured the lame, and bound tip the
wounds of death, so in their new
form but olden power as Log Cabin
remedies, they are sure to prove the
"healing of the nations."
Corday did the world an incalcu
lable service in ridding France of the
bigoted and murderous Marat, just
as this man is doing humanity a
service by re-introducing to the world
the simpler and better methods of
our ancestors.

The Time Lock of Our Anoestors.
There is a theory, you know, that
we inherit traits and conditions from
our remote ancestors :
our immediate
fancy that they descend to sotr.c
people with a Time Lock attach
ment. A child is bom ; he is like
1 his mother, we will say; gentle,
sweet, kind, truthful, for years—let
Us say seven. Suddenly the Time
Lock turns, and the traits of his
father (modified, of course, by tho
acquired habits of seven years) show
wi ll as from
*f. I sometimes
'themselves strongly—take
sion, in fact. Another seven years
and the priggishmss of a great
uncle, the stinginess of an aunt, or
ho dullness, in hooks, of a rural
grandfather. Then, in keeping with
the next two turns of the Lock, he
falls in love with every new face he
sees, marries early and indulges him
self recklessly in a large family. He
is an exemplary husband and father,
as men go, an ideal business man,
and a general favorite in society.
Everybody remarks upon the fav
orable change since his stupid, prig
gish college days. All this time
through every change, he has been
honorable and upright in his deal
ings with his fellows. Suddenly the
Time Lock of a thievish ancestor is
Inrnedonj he finds temptation too'
..ongfor even that greatly under
estimated power—the force of habit
ot a lifetime—and the trust funds in
his keeping disappear with him to
Canada. Everybody is surprised,
shocked, pained—and he, no doubt,
more so than anyone else. Emo
tional insanity is offered as a possi
ble explanation by the charitable ;
long-headed, calculating, intentional
rascality, by the severe or self-right
eous. And he? Well,he is wholly
unable to account for it at all. He
knows that he had not lived all these
posses
a
years as a conscious, self-controlled
thief. He known that the tempta
tions of his past life had nevuff be
fore taken that particular form. He
known that the impulse was sudden,
blinding, overwhelming ; but he doe3
not know why and how. It was
like an awful dream. He seemed
to be powerless to overcome it. The
Time Lock had turned without his
knowledge, and in spite of himself.
The unknown, unheard-of Thievish
Ancestor took possession, as it were,
through force of superior strength
and ability—and then it was his
hour. The hereditary shadow on
the dial had come around to him.
The great-uncle's hour was past.
ike , no doubt, was "turned on" to
some other dazed automaton—in
Maine or Texas—who had fallen
heir to
drop too much of his
blood, and she, poor thing, if it hap
pened to be a girl this time, forth
with proceeded to fall in love with
her friend's husband—seeing he was
the only man at hand at the time ;
while the Thievish Ancestor left—in
shame and contrition—a small hut
light-fingered hoy in Georgia, to
keep his engagement with our re
spectable, highly-honored, and here
tofore highly honorable man of af
fairs in Wall Street. The Time Lock
of heredity had been set for this
hour, and the machinery of circum
stances oiled the wheels and silently
moved the dial.— Bclford'n Magazin
