t MIRRORED LOVE.
r^
•* If I had been born poor. Instead of
rich. I firmly believe my life would have
been much happier," said Richard Maur
Rrith a sigh.
Richard was sitting with a friend on a
bench overlooking the sea. He would
have been a remarkably handsome fellow,
were it not for tin discontented expres
sion which always clouded his face.
On the other hand, his companion,
Arthur Renmore, was a plain-looking
man, with nothing to redeem his want
of comeliness but a bright pair of eyes,
and a winning smile.
" Do you really believe what you say.
or do you only make that assertion to
startle?" asked Renmore in answer to his
friend's remark.
" I really believe that if I had been born
to poverty I should bo far happier than I
]un now," remarked Richard gravely.
" Then I'll show you a way out of your
trouble," said Renmore with bis cheerful
laugh. "Hand over your wealth to me,
retaining a pound a week for yourself."
, •* Your offer lo relievo me of my
" TIcHo. Mr. Mauri"
ing for _\ou to make a home for her.
Your case is utterly different. A man
without money has the satisfaction of
knowing that lie is loved for himself
alone."
" Bah!" cried his friend contemptu
ously. "You either do n«L love the girl
or you are a bigger fool than I take you
for. Strange how people who have no
troubles w ill go out of the way to make
them. Well, i am off to get some
luncheon : are you coining?"
, No, Richard would stay where he was.
Young, rich and handsome, he was as
Utterly miserable as any mortal with such
advantages could be His money seemed
to stand 1 tween him and happiness, and
yet he wowd not have parted with it for
•ny consideration. H» prized it so much
that he feared it, might have the same
value in the eyes of the girl he loved.

hand without her heart?

and he knew she loved pleasure.
" No, I will not ask her to be my wife,"
he told himself with intense bitterness.
" My money is too great a temptation for
any woman to resist. She would accept
my offer if she didn't love me, and I
should discover it afterwards, and be
wretched for life. I will leave S-
as soon as possible, and try to forget
her."
He mid risen nowand turned his back
upon the sea.
Hello, Mr. Maur," said somebody at
his elbow,in a clear, young voice.
"Oh, is it you. Jack?" returned Rich
ard. " Where are you off to now?"
Jaek was Edith Palmer's brother.
" I was looking for you." said Jack.

Edith, and

"I do

some secret you are keeping from me.
Have you seen Mr. Maur lately?" she
added abruptly.
" Do you think I am erying about
Mr. Maur?" asked Edith, coloring with
anger
"I don't know, I am sure." returned
Susie. "I could cry if I was in your
place. The man ought to propose after
all the attention he used to pay you."
"Susie!"
" Don't look so cross," eried her friend.
"You know it is true. He did take up
your time, and led people to believe he
was serious. It is shameful of a man to
treat h girl as lie has treated you."
Now. it happened that Miss Susie was
sitting opposite a looking-glass, and hap
pening to lift her eves, she suw Mr.
Richard peering in upon them.
As he sat looking earnestly into .the
mirror, a plot was being formed iu that
shrewd head ol' hers.
Her own engagement was such a happy
one, in spite of its length for she had
been engaged eight years, and had Iwo 1
more to wait before Arthur would be in a
position to marry—that she longed for
her friend to experience the same happl- ,
ness.
Perhaps a few judicious words might
bring the laggard in love to the;
point. She hoped so. for he had cer
tainly looked very affectionately at thai
back of her friend's head. 'j
She felt strongly inclined to Indulge in
a tit of laughter, but she resisted the im
pulse, feeling that it would spoil all. She
resolutely averted her eyes from Rich
ard's reflection, after satisfying herself
that he was waiting eargerlv to hear
what else they had to say, and said, in a
preternaturally solemn voice; , f
" Edith, I do believe you love the
man." ■
The words almost caused Richard to
betray himseif. He trembled like a leaf.

joy or misery of a lifetime.
There was a deep silence for a few
minutes, and then Susie lifted her friend's
head and looked at tier tear-stained face,
which was suffused wit h Mushes.
"It is but too true." said Edith. " I do
love hint. You have discovered my
secret, and I know that you will not bc
1 tray it. I would die with shame if he
knew I had given my love unasked."
•* But, Edith, tie loves you, ' said Susie,
coloring at her friend's words, fm she

contemptuously. " Why, Susie, he
might marry anybody with his wealth
and position."
"Bother his wealth!" cried Susie.
" You don't love him for his wealth."
" Heaven knows I don't!'' said Edith.
" If lie were to lose all his money it would
make no difference to me."
" My darling! "
And Richard pushed open the folding
doors atid caught Edith in his arms,
while Susie discreetly retired to the next
room, and took up a book, leaving the
ardent lover to make his own excuse for
playing eavesdropper.
" Why, Mr. Maur,' cried Jack, dashing
into the room. "Why, where is he,
Susie? I left him here just now."
He is engaged," said Susie demurely.
" Why. what's the matter. Jack?"
The boy walked over to the window and
stood with his hands in his pockets,
whistling: but there was a suspicious
moisture in his bright eyes, and Susie
anxiously repeated her cpiestion.
" Father lias had Joe shot." he said.
" He was sullen and fidgety : but I knew
Mr. Maur would have put him rigiit if he
hud seen him. Poor old Joe!"
" Don't grieve. Jack," said Susie,
putting her hand on his arm. "You've
lost your dog. but you've found a brother
in-law."
"What?" cried Jack; "is it true?
Where are they? Let me go to them."
Susie smiled and sighed as she fol
lowed him into the presence of the happy
lovers.
But her own happiness was not so far
off as she thought, for. Arthur coming
into an unexpected legacy, insisted that
it should be a double wedding, anil in
this he was aided and abetted by Edith
and Richard.
"To think that all my happiness is
owing to these folding-doors," cried
Richard to his friend.
"And Susie's diplomacy," muttered
Arthur.
"What?" asked Richard inquiringly.
" Nothing," returned Arthur. "We are
two lucky fellows, old boy !"
" Indeed we are," said Richard.
And up to the present time neither of
them has had cause to alter his opinion.
" Would I Bo a Grasshopper?"
A little three-year-old, the young hopeful
of an estimable lady an Piety Hill, in
Salem, is just beginning to verge into the
period of childish investigation, doubt, and
inquiry. The little fellow had heard the
words " grass widow," and hastened to in
quire their meaning of his mother. By the
way of illustration she told him that if his
father should run away and leave her alone
without any cause, then she would be a
grass widow. The future senator looked
up in bis mother's face and said : "Then
what'd I be? Would I be a grasshopper?''
Johnnie Keeps His Eyes Open* '
Little Johnnie's big sister is entvtaining
Mr. Kkibbers, and thinks she can get along
without Johnnie's assistance, so she pats the
little ono on the head and says ;
" Como, little pet, it is time your eves
were closed in sleep."
"Guess not,"says Johnnie ; " mothertold
me to keep my eyes open when you and
Mr. Slubbers were together."

Reucbing the North Pole.
Sooner or later then orth pole will
bo reached and the geographical and
physical phenomena of the region
marked upon our maps. No one can
foretell what benefits may follow from
a successful polar expedition, what
new scientific laws it uuiy unfold, or
what new light it may shed on our
present imperfect knowledge of life
in high altitudes. U hen Galvani and
Volta were w at riling the twitching legs
of a frog. ns two pieces of metal were
made to touch the nerve, the great
scholars and philosophers of the day
saw in the discovery only an amusing
toy. The contemplation of a single
discovery like theirs is sufficient to
combat the idea that no important ben
elit can arise from the discovery of the
north pole.— E.r-Slate Geologist Cox,
of In itana.
L'hronic Catarrh.
C. \V. Mellier, of 406 South Fourth
street, St. Louis, is twenty years of age.
ami lias been a sufferer from chronic
catarrh, which had become quite offen
sive. When he came to Dr. Hartman, two
months ago, he was told it would take six
months to cure him. But he has pro
gressed beyond all expectations, and
nearly all signs of the disea-e have dis
appeared. Before being treated lie could
not breathe out of the nose, and now he
has perfect control of the nasal organ.
Peri n a did the business.
James Dunn, of 1310 Gay street, St.
Louis, has suffered from catarrh since
1S70. The gentleman told the reporter
ti-.e following straightforward story of
i.is case. " I took the disease in Mem
phis. It commenced in my head and
extended to my throat, and a bad cough
followed. I went to a number of phy
sicians, and they told me my trouble was
liver disease, and one said it was palpita
tion of the heart that caused the cough.
For the last year I have been practically
worthless. I could not ascend a flight of
stairs without suffering from shortness of
breath and fast heating of the heart, and
my appetite was very defective. After
eating I often coughed so hard that i
would throw up everything in my stom
ach. I could not walk any distance with
out panting. Five weeks ago I went
under the care of Dr. Hartman, and now
my cough has disappeared and I feel like
a new man." Peruna was his treat
ment.
Next came George Sauerbaum, residing
at 1929 Carr street, St. Louis, who is an
old patient of Dr. Hartman. He stated
that he had suffered most intensely from
chronic catarrh of the head and lungs, but
is now almost cured, his lungs being en
tirely well and his head greatly improved.
The gratitude of this gentleman was
almost boundless, and he expressed it to
the reporter in the strongest terms, say
ing " Peruna will cure any disease."
I. P. Dukehart, of Cumberland, Md.,
superintendent B. & O. R. R. Co's Hotels
(conductor on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road for twenty-eight years, and previous
ly a druggist), writes: " Dr. S. B. Hart
man ti Co., Columbus, O. I have used
but one bottle of Peruna between myself
and son. He-had diptheretic sore throat,
and is now well. As for myself, it has en
tirely relieved the dullness in my head,
which has been oflong standing—the re
sult of chronic malaria. I never look
anything in my life that gave me such
great satisfaction. My wife is now tak
ing it also."
