** J u d a s , do not touch or speak to roe,' May Heaven forget me when I forget w h a t you have said this day '."

Bold as she was, Margaret shrank back abashed and humbled, and Miss Meredith turned to the shocked and start led man.

" B e kind enough to take your wife and child from this bouse to -mor row," she said, with stern self-control, " a n d make her understand how vain is her ambit ious dream. Her son and yours will never be master here. I would r a t h e r choose any pauper-child from the w o r k h o u s e to suc­ceed me"—and on her face and yours I will never willingly look a g a i n . "

Ar thu r Talbot had no wish and Marca-ret no choice but to obey he r ; they left the Hall the next dav. and soon the whole county knew tha t hetween*the two sworn sifters there had come a deadly breach. Margaret , who long hoped against hope for a reconedi.ition, protested at first tha t it was. nothing, a mere tiff, a fanciful quarre l , and so on ; but , as the months and years rolled by, and Miss Meredith proved inflexible, she solaced herself by set t ing her own version of the occur­rence afloat—a t ru ly feminine revenge that made the one sweet droo in the bitter can of her disappointment .

Tha t long-past scene was vividly pred­e n t i n the minds of both women when Magdalen Vane, very .pale and red-eyed, came bark In hat aud jacket , and Miss Meredith-rose to go.

"Gnod-by, my dea r , " the banker said hurr iedly and hast i ly a* the girl put her l i t t le t rembling hand in his. He was heart i ly ashamed of hi* own weakness ; but in that respect, his life was one long shame—a dull consistent ache tha t only rose spasmodic-all}7 to an acute pang.

Flora turned haught i ly away. Mrs. Talbot waved her bark . and. tu rn ing to Miss Meredith, said with mournful and pro- hetic dignitv— •

" Y o u are hard and unforgiving, Con­s t ance ; but yon will d o m e justice some day. and own I warned yon, when tha t viper turn* and sting-:-"

Miss Meredith smiled with placid con­sent,

" P e r h a p s — and nerbans ton. when this child has eriften'Hl my hard thoughts on t augh t me ihat human feeling is not. madness, I may, some day, f y o u ! "

Miss Meredith was usuallv insatiable in her demands for another and yet another song. But she rose at once from the music-stool, and went over to the wide bay-window whore Mis* Meredith .sat.

euuu— J. want to see your face. So look up now. I th ink it is n good face, a frank, and honest face, U n a . "

I t was at lorct a charming prettv one, bathed in the rosy sunset clow. and with i ts look of perplexity and innocent dis­tress. Miss Meredith studied it in thoughful silence, then laid her hand caressingly on tlie fair bend.

" L e n a , how long have you and I been together now ? "

" T h r e e months ." Magdalen, answered with a troubled look.

" A n d in tha t t ime you have been happy * "

The girl 's face lit. up With a grateful flush t h a t made her prett ier than ever. She raised Miss Meredi th ' s hand to her soft, t remulous lips.

" S o happy—happ :er t h i n I ever was be­fore, than I ever thought 1 could be ! " she cried, with a sort of fervent simplicity. " O h , Miss Meredith, wha t is there iu this world tha t I do not owe you ? "

" Y o n owe me jus t this—truth and t r u s t , " the other repl ied: " a n d I do not doubt t h a t you will pay your debt. Lena, Is there any thought , any hope in your heart , t h a t you would hesitate to s; eaU out frankly and fully now to me ? ''

Lower and lower drooped the pretty fair head, redder and redder burned the soft half-averted cheek, the dainty ear. and round white t h r o a t : quicker and quicker came the girl 's pant ing breath.

Miss Meredith was answered, though not in words : and the answer told her w h a t she already knew.

" I see yon have a secret, Magdalen." The colder tone, the. change trom the

" L e n a " t h a t Miss Meredith had chosen from the fir-1 to call her to tiie full chill dignity of her Christian name, s t ruck the girl like a sudden blow.

" N o , no, there is no secret ," she cried eagerly. " Indeed , you are mistaken. Miss Meredith ; it is only—that you—that I—oh, indeed it is all a m i s t a k e ! "

She broke down, blushing, frightened, and horribly confused by the o ther ' s s tern glance.

" A mis take ' ! " Miss Meredith repeated coldly. " I s the mis take of your making , Magdalen, or of Lord Incestyre 's ? "

Slowly Magdalen ' rose to her feet, a slender, shr inking figure In soft gray draperies, and stood facing her ques­tioner with a pule, agi tated face and frightened, eager eyes / tha t seemed to .plead pathetically -for mercy and leleas?. -

k M i s s Meredith seouivd a IK tie Brtteued

I Dy tha t mute,appeal. >>Jie. pointed to une stool from which-Magdalen had risen, and said, with a sor t of impatient gentle­ness—

"S i t down again, child, and for goodness sake do not look as though you were ordered off for instant execution ! I am a little vexed and irritated, but not cross with you—in fact, as Mrs. Talbot and my own conscience both tell me, I have my­self been grievously to b lame."

" Y o u ! " Magdalen echoed, in intense surprise: and Miss Meredith nodded.

"Yes : I have been a careless chaperon— not a wise one. Margaret Talbot, for ex-' ample, would have foreseen the na tu ra l consequence of th rowing you and George Ingestyre together: but 1 have been blind now, as always—blind from first to las t . "

There was a dull , dry-eyed pain in the queer wrinkled face, a no'te of unconscious pathos in the voice, thai went s traight to the generous, grateful young ):ear: and woke anew purpose there. In the quick rush of eager p.ty. Magdalen Vane felt that she could yield life, and even the hope and love that were so much more than life, rather than deal this mncn-suiler-ing woman another blow.

"Oh , there is no harm done—there is none indeed :" she cried, with eagei emphasis, and with a sob that seemed to t ea rhe r throat in passing. "Lord Ingestyre and I are friends—no more '."

Miss Meredith t ire??.a long breath o! evident relief.

S*'And he has never said that he admired —never hinted tha t he loved you?" she asked, with ra ther cruel persistency. " Y o u n g men will do such things, Lena, even when they have n<> serious object in view. Has Lord Ingestyre been better and wiser than the rest of hi- sex?"

Lena did not answer; for the moment she could not. (July too vividly there rose before her the kiud, frank face, the eyes in which she had r ad a story tha t thrilled to her very heart—the story of a great-and changeless low—only too clearly she caught the echo oi" the low hnrnejd-tones in which Lord Inge-tyre iiad^NtfiTen her not good bye. but "an reyob-r^adding, In a brokeu m u r m u r , luearfft tor her ear alone— ' ^ ^

"I shall be'fcaekon Thnrsdny, and then —then, Ly-afi'. I have a Question to ask you^-aq nest ion on which my misery or

ippiness depends." —I t was" -\YT( I n7» s TTy TverTTn g r. ow. TTo wonld be back to-morrow, he would nsk his question. YVli it must she say to him, wha t answer tuusi -be :::»e?

She started to her fecr. pale and quivering with the agony of that thought .

"Oh, let me go back to Brussels— any­where so that he dfu's not 1:-.1,1 me here: - ' she cried, wild with a t-vror that was past all disguise; an 1 Mi<s Meredith's black brows were drawn together in a sudden frown.

"Then there issornet l rng between yon, Lena; Margaret Talbot, was right. You too have deceived inc."

Magdalen dried her tears and booked up quickly, a ljtth* ' 'ame or indignation kindling in jbt>, wi • f. n.i \ e\es.—Gentle" as she \»As. thesgul was not meek to the point of abject submission. Knowing herself to beacsolutely graieful and loyal, she wonld not accept in si.,.'nee tins unde­served rebuke.

"I do not know ^ what Mrs. Talbot ac­cuses me,' ' she said proudly; "bu t there has been no deceit."

" T h e n it was not true"that she met you and Lord Ingestvre in the park yesterday, walking and talking' as lovers walk and talk ?"

Magdalen's color decp-med, but her clear eyes did not droop as she answered slow-l y -

" I did not. see Mrs. Talbot ; bu t Lord Ingestyre and I wet* there ."

" A n d he was--how shall I put it ::—mak­ing love to you !" ALss Meredith cried, with tierce contempt. " A n d YOU —what answer did you give him, Lena? But I need not ask, of course ; you wore only too ready to accept him and ruin his l i fe ."

She glanced sharply at Magdalen's face; b u t seeing only a proud, patient pain there, said with im'pro ient emphasis—

"Cannot you answer, child ? We are not ta lking a t cross-purposes, I suppose. Lord Ingestyre did as»c you to m a r r y him ?"

" He did not, or I should have told you at once ; but "

" But he led yon to expect the ques t ion ; yon know that h e . will ask it Vwhen he comes. Lena, what answer shall you give »"

For the present, at least, the girl gave none, or only such'as could l>e read la the changing color an«# q u n erin.g lips.

" Y o u love' him, L e n a : Xav. do not Shrink away, child ; there is no harm and no wrong iu that , l ie is frank, manly, chivalrous, good to look upon, and worthy of al l t r u s t ; out for all that, if yon take him at his foolish word and marry him, you will not be happy, and you will not deserve to be. for you will have done aim a cruel wrong.

" I ! How," Lena a.«ked wistfully-—' ** how could my loving him, as 1 do with my whole heart—how could t h a t do him wrong ?"

" How *" Miss Meredith echoed, wi th scornful emphasis upon the word. " Do you take the life of ta ls dull workaday world for a chapter from some great ro­mance. Lena, and th ink all m u s t needs go well if only tha t rue lovers Hre made happy t Ah, my dear, yon are not the

" But he cares noth ing for money, no th­ing for the social life of which you speak.," Lena said hurriedly ; "he—he th inks of dropping his title aud t rying his for tun© in the Colonies."

" And so letting the fine old ti t le of t h e Itigestyres die out to gratify the fancy of <• a love sick boy!" Miss Meredith finished grimly. " Magdalen' Vane, do you th ink you are wor thysuch a sacrifice? Are you so sure that he will never reproach you with it when the love-fever passes and he wakes to the hard realities of life?"

The tears ran down the girl's pale face and her lips quivered pitifully. Misa Meredith's words w«*re barbed arrows that ' went s t raight home and rankled in her sore and loving he^rt. She felt their force' and t ru th , and felt iu tiie same m o m e n t that she was the most miserable of women.

Suddenly she felt Miss Meredith's armi steal round her neck, felt tha t her bead was gently raised, and heard the o the r speaking in a strangely softening tone.

'• Lena, my poor child, do I seem h a r d to you ? Believe me, there is nothing b u t pitying kindness in my heart . You h a r e been like a young sister—almost like *> daughter—to me in these few m o n t h s tha t we have been together. I have learned to love you dearly, and almost for yoflr sake, to trust in human na ture once more. Lena, I know you will not shake tha t faith. You will accept no sacrifice' from your lover : you will ra ther make-one—a grand, heroic sacrifice, child, ot--youiself. l ean neither bribe nor th rea ten yon You would probably h e ' happy enough in the future I asje-you to resign,-for you have knowp^riothing be t te r ; and*-all I can offer /o t i in its stead will be ft1

poor home- here while I live, an 1 such modest-'provision an will keep you from

jUre poor lion se or the tender ^nercy of t h e Talbots when Idie, Now. Lena, choose I "

She watched the pale young face wi th desperate eagerness : but Lena did not speak at once ; and she went on hurried­l y -

" I might , you will say, remove all diffi­culty, for I am rich; but the deposition of my property was long since aud irrevoca-

.—L-eaonot gtv^ yon even F lora Talbot ' s ten thousand pounds, Lena; and, three months ago, my g rea t dread was-that he wonld marry her."

Magdalen hardly heard the last words; her whole being had been absorbed in the sharp , silent contest between her love and her conviction of wha t was best for her lover, and as was sure to happen in the aweet unselfish na tu re , the sense of right*

I id con j i ieed ; the yearn lag love wa» trampled under foot.

"1 —I will i;o as you wish," the girl mur­mured, with ii littie soMiing catch in he r breath; and Mis> Meredith's eyes grew radiant with t r iumph and delight.

"My brave Lena," she cried, d r a w i n g (he slender figure IU her and Kissing t h e fair face agniii and again, "i knew I could. t rus t yuu: and I was right. Yours is I n ­deed a noble love. Then, when he come*' to-morrow, you will felVhim."

5:ie paused, for Magdalen winced ' a l ­though a lough linger had been laid upon some sorely throbbing wound.

"I will tell Witn lii, t he must forget me-—that it cannot be--te.i him anything you wish!" she answered feverishly, wishing only th;:t Mis,- Meredith would release her

| tha t she mi.giu hide lu-r dry-eyed misery in some dark corner away from sight and sound..

"1 clrrm tha t promise, 'Lena," the o t h e r said, with s tar t l ing emphasis. GiY'e him. no reasons for the refusal that he does not expect; but , when he asks for them, refer h m to me: I wi.l lind means to sat isfy him—be >ure of tha t !"

The cheery, almost gay confidence.of her look and tone seemed strangely cruel to Lena: but sympathy itself would per­haps have seeme'd cruel jus t then. S h e signified her acquiescence in a dull , a p a ­thetic fashion, and then sat s tar ing va- . c: ntly oui-at the western sky, from w h i c h almost the last bng.it ray had faded, Un­til Miss Meredith broke briskly in upon h e r r e \ e r i e .

"Ub ami lie down, rai l 1; you look qui te worn o t—n p;-.U\ weary little ghost and, mar tyr : and all your >fiength and cour» age w.il he called upon to-morrow. You, do not mean tospodt your sacrifice by any tragedy airs, Lena!'"

S i c held the cold little hand fast, and scanned the pale vouug face keenly. She saw a patient misery ihat brought the tears to her own sharp eyes, bu t nothing of wavering weakness there. W h a t Mag* dalen Vane had promised, t h a t she Wonld surely do in brave and loyal fashion, l e i t he cost*to nerself be wha t it might.

Uealizirrg this, Miss Meredith felt t h a t she was act ing cruelly, but held fast to her purpose all the -ame, only showing she was in any way moved by the sudden fervor with which she kissed the girl 's

\ cold cheek, and said, below her breath— "1 see all women are not weak or wick­

ed, and there are such things as hear t and conscience left. Heaven bless yotl, child; you have made me very happy 1 And I have not sa i l as much as t k a t t o man or woman for ilve-and-twenty years . Now go to bed," ' . '

The study and praetu"-. ot ciii-mical ;uialysis and microscopical examination of the urine in ou r consideration of cases, with reference to correct diagnosis, in which our institution lontr ago became famous, has naturally led t o a very extensive practice in disea-sesof the ur inary ortrans. ' P robab ly no other institution in th<" world has been so largely patmniZ'v'i bv sutfers from this class of maladies as the old and world-finned World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel. Our specialists have acquired, through a vast an 1 vari-d experience, r r i ' a t c-xpertness in determining the c.rad na ture of each ease, and, henet>, have been successful in ju'ce/i/ adapt ing their remedies for the cure of each individual ease.

Thrse delicate diseases should be carefully treated by a specialist thoroughly familiar with them, and who is competent to ascertain the exact condition and s t a re of advancement which the disease has

made (which can only be ascertained by a .careful chemical and lnieros'conical examination of the urine ), for medicines which are e;,r itive MI one stage or condition are known to do p<Kiitiix injury i 1 )[iiers. We have never, therefore, a t tempted to pu t up anyth ing 1'<tr general sale through druggists, recommending to cure these di-'ases," a l though possessing \ e r y superior remedies, knowing full w '11 from an extensive exper iemo tha t the only safe and success­ful course is to carefully determine the disease and its progress in each case, by-a che-mical and microscopical examination of the urine, and then adapt our medicines to the exact stage of the dis­ease and condition of our patient.

To this wist1 course of action we at t r ibute the marvelous success attained by our soc ia l i s t s in that important and extensive Department of b u r insti tutions devoted exclusively to the t rea tment of diseases of the kidneys and bladder. The t rca t -mont of diseases of the ur inary organs having

BLADDER DISEASES.

other causes, and every variety of nervous affec­tion, are t rea ted by our specialists for these diseases with unusual success. See numerous cases reported in our different illustrated

Organic weakness, nervous debility, premature decline of the manly powers, involuntary vital losses, impaired memory, mental anxiety, absence of will-power, melancholy, weak back, and kin­dred affections, are speedily, thoroughly and per­manent ly cured.

To those acquainted with our institutions, it is hardly necessary to say that the Invalids ' Hotel and Surgical Insti tute, with tin-branch establishment located at No. 3 New Oxford Street, London, England, have, for many years, enjoyed the distinction of being the most largely patronized and widely celebrated institutions nf the world for the t rea tment and cure of those affections which arise from youthful indiscretions and pernicious, solitary practice s.

We, many years ago, established a special Department for t he t rea tment of these diseases, under the management of some o t the most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Staff, in orde, that all who apply to us might receive all the advantages of a f>:i* Council of the most experienced specialists.

We offer no apology for devoting so mueb at tent ion to this neglected class of diseases, believing no condition of humanity is tot) wretched to mer i t t he sympathy and lus t services of the noble profession to which we lx-long. Many who suffer from these terrible

diseases contract them innocently. Why any medical man. inti nt on doing good and alleviating suffering, should shun such cases, we cannot imagine. Why any one should consider it otherwise-than most honorable to cure the worst cases of these diseases, we cannot under s t and ; and yet of all the other maladies which afflict mankind there is probably none about which physician.-*, in general practice know so little.

We shall, therefore, continue, as heretofore, t o t reat with o u r best consideration, sympathy, and skill, all applicants who tire suf­fering from any of these delicate diseases. PlIDCn I T UnllC Most of these CJISCS can bo treated by'us when UUnfcU AI n U H t . at a distance just as well as if they were here in person.

Our Complete and Illustrated Treatise H6S pages) on these su*>-jects is sent t o any address on receipt of t en cents in stamps.

Hundreds of the most difficult operations known to modern surgery are annual ly performed tn the most skillful manner , by our Surgeon-special­ists. Largo Stones are safely removed from t l v Bladder, by crushinfr, washing, and pumping them out , t hus avoiding the frreat danger of cut t ing.

Our specialists, remove cataract from the eye, thereby curing blind­ness. They also s traighten cross-eyes .and insert artificial ones when needed. Many Ovarian and also Fibroid Tumors of tho Uterus are arrested in growth and cured by electrolysis, coupled with other means of our invention, whereby the great danger of cu t t ing operations in the^se cases is avoided.

Especially has t he succc-ss of our improved operations for Var i ­cocele, Hydrocele, Fistuhe, Kuptured Cervix Lteri , and for R u p ­tured Per ineum, been alike gratifying both to ourselves and o u r patients. Not less so have been the results of numerous operations for Str icture of the Cervical Canal, a condition in the femak* gen-orallv resulting in Barrenness, or S ter i l i ty r and the cure of which, by a safe and nainless operation, removes this commonest of im­pediments to tne bearing of offspring.

To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN-: * WHEREAS; On the night of Aug. 7th

1886, an'effigy of Rev. O. N. Hunt wai hung from the porch of Good Tem­plars' hall, and whereas the impression has gone ahroad that the Good Tem­plars had a hand in hanging the same; and whereas the deed was perpetrated by parties unknown to us, actuated by motives unknown to us; and, whereas the porch of our hall wast we believe, selected as a consj i :uous place and had nothing to do with the temperance question nt all; and. whereas the use-fullness of our order depends upon the integrity of its members; and, whereas a strict adherence t j the rules of the Order, our solemn obligations, and the motto of our Order, "Faith, Hope and Charity," is ot the greatest importance both in our relation to each other and to the outride world; therefore be it

RESOLVKD; That we, the committee on resolutions, together with the mem­bers of the Lodge, I. O. G. T.. of Una­dilla, do hereby vindicate the sacred honor and exalted dignity of our Or­der, denouncing as false all reports th*t anv of tue members of this Lodge aided or abetted in any way the com-mwsion of the deed, or that the deed reflects any sentiments of this Lodge; and be it further

RESOLVED; That we denounce THAT and and all similar acts intended to deteriorate the character of our Lodge, or that of any of its members, or of Mr. Hunt.

"But I have other reasons to urge." "None that can avail." "At'least hear them." "Yes, if I am forced, but my answer

is already given." "You may reconsider it It was uo longer in the persuasive tone

of tho lover that Adrain Hermou spoke.

His last utterance had a touch of sternness "in it. The changed intona­tion had not passed unnoticed—a fact sufficiently evinced by the look, half scornful, half inquiring, which Alice Hermonfafn^a"upoTl"ttiir"speakerr-

"Your father," Adrian continued, "left his affairs in a condition so per­plexed and intricate, that when, at your request, I undertook their settle­ment, it was some time before their ex­act posture could be ascerTained. A thorough examination, I am sorry to say, proves his estate largely insolvent.

survived him several months, legally entitles me to the whole of an inhcri-tance, half of which had else been yours." . ' ,

"The conclusion' of the whole," said Alice, with a curl of her beautiful lip, "being that the accident of a day has made mo penniless and you rich."

"Under the circumstancss I had hoped," Adrian resumed, "that my offer " , . „

served with a couple of writs, one a citation, requiring him forthwith to file nia accounts as administrator of Alice's father; the other a summons in an ac­tion brougnt to recover Alice's portion of her uncle's estate,

The last, everbody said was hopeless, the death of Alice's father one day Deforo that of her uncle settling the question.

It was quite unusual for Mr. Barker's zeal to outrun his judgement, but it secined to have done so in tho present case.

However, the little lawyer went about his business in his accustomed way keeping" his own counsel and seeking uo one's.

Considerable time elapsed before the case could be brought to a hearing.

Andrew Hermou, the rich uncle, after many years merchandising in the East Indies, had at last embarked for home aud died at sea.

His death was reported to have,, occurred on the 25th of December, 18—, that of Alicefs father having happened on the 24th of the sam month. Captain Harris, the Come mander of tho vessel, WSSTTOW absent-on another voyage, and his testimony being deemed material by both parties, ft was necessary to await his return.

He came at last and the case was brought on.

By" several witnesses Mr. Barker proved the death of Alice's father to have taken place on the 24th of Decem­ber at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Captain Harris was then called. After a few preliminary questions, ho

was asked to stale the*pfecise time of Andrew Hermon's death.

"Exactly four minutes before six o'clock on" the morning of the 25th of December," was the answer.

"Are you quite certain of that?"' Mr. Barker continued.

"Quite;it is entered on the log-book. Mr. Barker paused a moment. "Is there any necessity tor proceed­

ing Brother Barker?" interposed the opposite counsel, with a winning smile "You have quite made out our case. The plaintiff's father having died on the 24th, an.l the testator on the 25th, it is plain, by the terms of the will, that the whole estate went to the de­fendant's late father as survivor."

"If you please, Brother Tompkins," Mr. Barker replied, with killing polite­ness, and the self-possessed air of a man who, if beaten, don't know it yet, "I have not quite finished with the wit­ness."

"Be good enough, Captain Harris, to tell us where your vessel was at the time of Andrew Hermon's death?"

"In latitude—degrees aud—minutes south, and longitude—degrees and— minutes cast."

"When it was 8 o'clock on the even­ing of the 24th of December here, wh

25th, the former survived tho lat­ter just two bovirs." With which sum­ming up Mr. Barker sat down, ns calm as if hadn't just been gaining the most important cause of his life.

The same cool, clear head soon brought order out of the confusion in which Adrain Hermon had sought to involve the afl'airs of Alice's father, and made it quite manifest that the

broken trust latter had •neither left his daughter destitute.

said Adrian. "And their meaning yours," Alice

retorted. r , , "You at least prize your father s

reputation," he said. "More dearly than life! ' Alice

answered. "It is with you to shield or blast it! The girl's cheek blanched, and

there was something painful in her startled look that besought more earnestly tban*words an explanation of her cousin's language.

"A large sum . your father held in trust," Adrian went ,on, "is uot forthcoming. and disgrace must attach to --"" his memorv unless you choose to avert it. The means are happily within jour power. Accept .my offer, and from my good fortune tne default shall be made goooV and none need ever know it ."

-The momentary pallor that had over­spread the face o"f Alice, gave place to a deep ilush, "Your statement" she rejoined, "that my father died poor, I could have readily believed, knowing his generous nature, and how little likely he was to,have hoarded wealth. But the imputation of dishonesty I know to be as false as the heart that conceived it and the tongue that gave it utterance! Go! but go with this assurance—a speedy and thorough in­vestigation by those whom I and others can trust shall place it beyond your power again to malign the virtues of the dead. '

True to her promise, Alice lost no time in seeking the council and assis­tance of an old and tried friend of her father, who was besides a shrewd and able lawyer.

Mr. Barker had a quick eye* for roguery, and was very prompt with his dealing with it.

The Wife's Vow of Obedience. George William Curtis, in Harpers

-Magaaiae-fGr-AuguBt says:—The press, that vigilant sentinel upon the watch-tower of civil and religious liberty, like Sister Anne upon blue-beard's turret, descried something.wrong in the ceremony of the President's wed­ding. It whispered audibly that the Reverend Doctor omitted from the service tho word "obey," and that the lady therefore became a wife without the vow of obedience to a husband. This incident seriously -di tain newspapers whose course for many years has shown their profound-concern for the interests of religion, and many excellent persons also havo been anxious to know^whether, under such circumstanpes-,'the wife has been TU .Tried properly. Indeed, there are said to -be some young women who suppose that the vow ot obedience is the essential marriage vow—a view in which they are resolutely supported by many very young gentlemen who are not very long .emancipated from maternal control.

It may allay these tender apprehen­sions to know not. only that the word obey is often omitted from the mar-

England were a shame to civilization and humanity.

The ladies, therefore, who suppose that these laws and traditions and cere­monial vows rest upon a divine sanc­tion, and who are consequently solici­tous to wear the yoke of unquestioning subjugation, not of choice, but as a re­ligious duty, need bend no longer for that roasou. If thev prefer to obey, indeed, thev are not restrained by any religious obligation, nor if they prefer to commauit. "But," interposes at this point the youthful casuist of the other sex, "surely exigencies of differ­ence arise when there must bo a decis­ive will, ami, pi course, that will must bo tho man's.'" Yes; su men have generally said, aud ihoir views have generally prevailed. But tho general prevalence of ignorance was no' a soum1 argument against the Introduc­tion of general education, and in ihc republic of reason aud matrimony the general assent of husbands cannot con­clude the rights of wives.

In a matrimonial difference some one must decide. Granted; and what should determine the decision? Plain­ly, the right of the case. Now a wife is quite as likelv—upon the whole, in­deed, more likely--to be right upon a family question thau the husband. Still says the casuist, he must decide, be-causo he is the bread-winner, aud be­cause he is the stronger aud can en­force his will. Very well; then the ma­son disappears when the woman is the bread-winner, aud in that case it is plainly not as a man that the husband must decide, which ends the merely masculine pretension. The other rea­son, that can enforce his will, is appli­cable to the control of a brute or a slave, but is it applicable to that of a Wife? Moreover, when we speak of right, we do uot mean brute force. ihatouo man may be able to kuoCic another man down, or to beat a wom­an, establishes no right to do so. The casuist must look futher if ho would justify himself.

In the matrimonial republic, indeed as in all other communities, undoubt­edly force will decide many a differ­ence. It is notorious that the English law—made bv men, and interpreted by men—authorized the husband to correct the wife with a stick of reasonable thickness, and upon appeal the judge, who was presumably a husband, de­cided that reasonable thickness was about the thickness of a thumb. Tho British aisuage also permitted tho sale of the wife by tho husband, a logical: deduction from the tho theory cijUtie right of the husband as foomued in strength of muscle. If-fne wife be bound to obey thjp-kusband, certainly the husbandis^authorized to enforce obediemseVand if the contumacy of the wjfe-t5pmpels resort to the stick of a

nimb's thickness, it may be very painful to Romeo to adjust his relations with Juliet in that emphatic manner, but who can deny the right of the hus­band to compel'the obedience which he has the right to demand?

Does Romeo supp le , perhaps, that if his bride promises to obey her prom­ise will make tho stick unnecessary?. The answer lo his supposition is print­ed every day in tho police reports. Romeo, if he be" a sensible man—and for such men only is this debate open^ cd—will see that all differences be­tween Juliet and himself will be deter­mined, uot by her vow of obedience or submission to his will, however unwise or dangerous or criminal his will may be, but by their common good sense, lu the" happy realm of conjugal affection the stronger nature will rule, however mild and lerninine ts expression may be, as the moon, "sweet regent of the sky," sways the tho ocean tides. However that gentle

jent may have vowed to follow the whims of tho restless sea, and however tho raging sea may roar and toss, her vows will be resistlcssly forsworn, and all his fury vain, as she moves softly on, and he up every, cove and bay runs obediently after*,

As the eternal and divine laws assj&rt' themselves in the happy realm, -Romeo the husband will perceive that marriage vows are not promises to be enforced, but lovers' protestations to be fulfilled. They are very solemn, and of mighty

The Way R « T . Dr. Parker Talks About Ul i Uueit.

Daleham Gardens, Hampstead, in the suburbs of London, where Mr. Beecher is stopping, at the residence of Rev. Dr. Joseph Parker, is officially a street, says a very recent London let­ter, though it bears quite as little re­semblance to the average street of an American city as it does to a sandy trail in the Desert of Sahara. It is a poem in city thoroughfares and habi­tations. Tho tidiest little bits of hous­es and tho most charmingly irregular structures of large build stand back among tho trees, ivy climbing over them here and there, and beau­tiful stretching away from them. Trim hedge-rows usually take the place of the grim iron rails that fence off Fifth avenue's continuity of brown-stone sameness, and low enough they are to tempt tho stroller-by to slop and admire the tlowers. Aud tho strcets--well, it would have spoiled the rurality of it to have dubbed them streets, so they are known as terrace, garden or lane.

in one of the oleasautest of that part of Hamnstead's refuges from the whirl of London lives Dr. Parker. He is the "oldest inhabitant" in his neighbor­hood, having built his house there when there were no others roundabout, three whole years ago! Now the place contains—1 don't knowhow many peo­ple, but Well up in the thousands. That's tho way Loudon has spread it­self over 122 square miles of land, holding live millions of people. Dr. Parker is of the Congregational faith, one of the most noted of London preachers and wonderfully prolific as a religions author. This about the way ho rattled on as he lolled OH his easy-chair:

"Tho advent of Mi', aud Mrs. Beech cr into my uonso has constituted an occasim which we shall uot soon for­get. 1 feel as if 1 had been living in a tumult since the very first moment Mr. Beecher crossed my threshold. I had vensured to anticipate a little quiet conversation with tho illustrious preacher but I soon found that all my anticipations were doomed to disap­pointment. Mr. Beecher never seems to travel without an infinito tail behind him ol telegrams, letters, reporters, interviewers, receptions, givers, curi­osity mongers, beggars of all sorts, coming at all sorts of hours, until mv house has had the aspect of a kind of miscellaneous fair. I havo observed, however, that amid all tho multitudes that have followed Mr. Beecher hardly any of them have had anything to offer him, nearly everybody, on tho other hand, desiring to obtain some­thing from him. Onlylast night, just as we were going to bed, a lady called here to ask if Mr. Beecher would not take,4he"chair for her at some meeting which she was proposing to condiicL

night, whea Miss Ellen Terry called, as the tenant of a quiet house, and as A dissenting minister, who is always looked down upon in England by the superior powers, I was a little startled

from intrusion, but, in spite of tho dog, I find Mr. Beecher roaming all over the place and taking possession of the study, which is in the basemont of the house, the dog never giving sign that anything unusual has occurred. Tho other morning Mr. Beecher went out, say before 10 o'olock, did some shop­ping, went to tho Royal Academy aud looked over the pictures, drove away in a cab some four miles to lunch and talked all tho afternoon; then went to the Mansion House in tho city of Lon­don and dined with the Lord Mayor; found his way back to my house a little before midnight, and by 6 o'clock the next morning he was busy at his desk—not in any dishevelled and outworn way, a doubled up and ex­hausted old man, but looking as fresh as the morning.

MRS. BEECHER ENJOYS THE TRIP. Mrs. Beecher is as remarkable in

this way as her husband. Her strength is absolutely inexhaustible, which is the more remarkable, seeing that often she looks as if she were about to give up an active life and settle upon her couch during tho remainder of her life. Not she. indeed. She is as bright and active and energetic as any Indian that ever went out on a war dance, and at night she is^ust as clear-minded and as happy as if she had been rest-ink all day. All this is to us poor Eng­lish people simply overwhelming. 1 speak for iuy countrymen at large when I say that wo really do require a little sleep now and thou, and we aro not indisposed to a few hours'quietness-during the longest days in the year. Mr. and Mrs. Beecher overthrow all this, and drive on in a triumphant ca­reer, unchecked and undismayed.

•'Wonderful expectation was excited as regards Mr. Beecher's preaching. It is my peculiar joy to have had him appear-as-a preacher for the first tme in London during this visit in my pul­pit. When the church was built J, was in America, and I askfcd Mr^- Beecher to come over and preaclP"£he inaugu­ration sermon. WJieh^ however, years later, he madje-rfp^ his mind to be here and comjerited to preach in tho City Temple letters came pouring in by -every post from every direction. Four men" were at work for several days opening letters and replying to appli­cations for ticketsof admission. Whea Sunday morning dawned thero was -a stir among the cabmen of the metrop­olis. One of old four-wheelers said to me: 'I hear you're going to havo a great congregation to-day,' a remark not particularly worth recording in it­self, but as showing that even among the cabmen there was ah understand­ing that on a quiet Sunday in July there was going to be one centre of ac tivity in religious London.

ENGLISH VIEW OF HIS METHODS.

"A wonderful preacher is tho old' man eloquent. Everything about him preaches. I sat a little at one side and could not, therefore, see his whole face; yet I felt that the very coat upon his back was taking part in the service. When ho turned around so that I had a view of his face, 1 saw the tight in his eye and tho color in his cheek, and his fine voice, whether it was strident or whether it melted into tears, it was the voice of a man accus­tomed to speak to great congregations, alike in commanding and persuasive tones. His whoio speech was of lovo and he t seemed to exemplify sublime affection. Some men could talk of lovo in an unloving way, so much so that their tone would contra-

riage ceremony, but that many veiled ladies, in wreaths of orange llowers, in­sist upon that omision. in fact, to use diplomatic language, the concession of the ommission has been known to be held in many cases to b3 a preliminary sine qua non upon the part of one of the high contracting parties. The word was introduced into the ceremony by men to express and em­phasize the view of men that the man is the ^head of the woman. Indeed, the" interested in­quirer will find that most of the tra­ditional theories of the relations of the sexes which are often quoted as indis­putable and conclusive arguments re­present merely the views of men. The laws which regulate these relations— the laws of divorce, of tho rights and the control of property, of the disposi­tion and care of children—are the work of men, and simply express their will.

the vow to honor, how shall they be en­forced when love has fled and honor is no longer possible? A vow is a form of wor<is,. a 'heart-felt purpose. But has it "a charm to stay the morning-star?" Has it the power to hold a heart to its betrayer, or honor to tho dishonored? The dowhv-bearded casu­ist, therefore, need not insist 'ardently that there shall be a vow of obedience as binding his Dulcinea to do what ought not to be done whether he com­mands it or not. But, on the other hand, the sweet regent "that shall be" need not hesitate to promise to obey, since she gladly promises to love and honor,- Obedience is of the will, but love is beyond it. She may obey when she can nolon ger love, and if she hesi­tates at all.Jt should be ut the promise which eludes her p^wer to fulfil.

Four Years Faithful Service

"Patrick, are you sure you can ban die a pair of horses if they're a little vicious?"

to find that the most popular actress of the day had taken possession of a seat in my drawing-room. 1 well knew that she had not come to see me,-ami therefore I did not venture to approach the lady. But in a few minutes Mr. Beecher came to^brtng my wife and myself into herpresence, aud then wo found that in real life she was no ac­tress at all, but just a simple, modest, genial lady, full of high spiritedness and genuine human fun. From this moment I formed quite a different estimate of the theatrical profession. The instances of kindness which she gave, as between successful actors and actors that were not successful, impress^ ed me very deeply with tho belief that Christian charity is not confined' to sects and parties. /

"Mr. Beecher's own energyis simply overwhelming, and must be/6n a truly transatlantic scale. I am told that ho is seventy-three years, of age, but judging from his activity, 1 should suppose that the/figures might be transposed and that he was not more

Mr. Beecher astonishes me even* more in private than in public. The superabundance of his conversation, tho multitudinousness of his allusions; his interest in all public questions and concerns, his never-ceasing humor, his anecdotes, which are even surpassed by his own illustrations, all these con­spire to constitute a companion such as wo can but hope to enjoy very rare­ly in, this world.

"Many mistakes arc made about Mr Beecher. Some may think him earless, rash^Jmprudent and the like. But I "anlbountl to testify that even whenyoii think ho is not paying much attention to you ho is notiing everything that is , being sai(l, and when he makes an ap­pointment he is faithful in keeping/it. If he were less of a genius he would be considorod more of a man of business. I t is only because his poetry is^so high that his prose is often overlooked, but Mr. Beecher knows exactly where he is, what is going on arotind him how to address himsejf toji with the great­est pertinence andeffect."

THE USE OK FERTILIZERS.

Different soils and different crops require the use of different fertilizers. This every farmer knows, though per­haps he does not always apply it. I t is not always, however, necessary to add to the soil exactly the constituents which we expect to obtain from it in wheat, potatoes, etc. But by bringing the land to a good state of productive­ness, with rotation of crops, and some judgment in selecting fertilizers, we may be sure of always securing good crops. The following good suggestions on the subject of various fertilizers are recommended to the attention of thoughtful farmers:

Cf real crops are especially benefited by nitrogen and nitrogenous manures. Usually forty or eighty pounds per acre are required for full crops or largest crops. Clover is the best medium to use in charging soil with nitrogen. It is a nitrogen trap that is easily set and sure to catch. Clover may* be specially fertilized with plas­ter. Potash is of little value in cereal growing, and phosphoric acid not

ly called for. In connection with »n, phosphoric acid and potash

>th useful in small quantities. Indian corn phosphoric acid is

peftoaps the best special fertilizing ele­ment. Land plaster often does good service. On some soils potash also proves valuable.

•Grass"requires all the elements of plant food. Well rotted manure is perhaps the best special manure for it. lione-dust comes next. Either of these can be used at seeding, or afterward as top dressing. Clover requires'-1 ni­trogen and phosphoric acid in small quantities. Potash and lime are its most valuable manures. Turnips re­quire nitrogen and phosphoric acid, the latter in soluble form. Super­phosphates are specials for the turnip crop. Margels want more nitrogen and less phosphoric acid than turnips. Potatoes are similar.to turnips in their likes, and on most soils thev need a supply of potash furnished. There is usually potash enough in our common barnyard manure for potatoes.

TAKING CAUE OF THE ORCHARD..

There are few operations in farming but have both advantages and dis­advantages, and this is especially true in. the treatment of orchards; no in­dexible rule can be laid down to suit all conditions. Trees are plants, like all other farm crops, and if the soil containing the one should'be culti­vated and manured, what reason can there be for making an exception in the case of the other. It takes exactly

throw out furrows with the plow. Spread well decomposed manure in the furrows, knocking the lumps apart, and throw the soil back over the man­ure. Harrow and roll thoroughly, mark again and set the plants at one foot apart in the rows. Nothing more is to be done, to the celery except to cultivate it thoroughly and keep it clear of weeds until the autumn, when it is to be put in trenches for bleach­ing.

PACKING AND SHIPPING EGGS.

Eggs, especially in summer, should be not only sound, but fresh laid. Stale eggs, though apparently sound, are sure to reach market in bad order, or will change so rapidly that dealers lose money on them. Always ship at once while fresh. Use strong, stiff barrels. For packing, use fine, kiln.dried cut straw or wheat chaff. Some Canadian packers use dry oat-hulls, which an­swer a good purpose. Never use oat or buckwheat chaff, and never use new oats, straw, or chaff, as they sweat and rot the eggs in a short time.

the same plant food to build a tree and form an apple as it does to manu­facture any other farm crop; and yet

-many farmers expect to keep on crop­ping the orchard, and get the trees and fruit thrown in for nothing; they think they should not plow without plant-' ing. If the trees are further apart than th»-stalks in a corn crop it is just for the same reason that corn is set further apar,t than wheat, the differ­ence being merely a matter of degree, and every crop should have space con­sistent with its root and foliage di-meiisions and—with the quantity of heat and light to be admitted from the sun. A crop of grain or grass may be grown in an orchard just on the same/ principle as radishes may be sown be­tween rows of cabbage; if the soil is rich and clean both will flourish so long asthe cabbage leaves do noVover-shadow the radish plants. •/

/ GROWING CELERY.

/ Not many years ago celery was a / crop only to be growrrin the gardens of

the wealthy where /the cost of cultiva­tion was not tegalfded. Thanks to the market gardeners about New York the cultivation of celery has been greatly simplified/the old laborious method of planting7^ in trenches has been dis-cardedv and now any one who can raise oabbages can grow celery. The dwarf

x-^fjtlneties—of which there are several— •'•'•#•' '->4te to be preferred to the tall-growing

kinds, and as each of the principal seedsmen has his favorite tested sort it is safe to follow his advice as to the variety. The important part is to secure the celery plants, and if one is not to cultivate*largely, and can readi­ly purchase the plants, it will be the cheapest to buy from^those who grow them for sale. Of course, all can not purchase plants, and the majority must grow- them. The seeds should be sown in May or June, but plants may be' set out as late fis the first of August.

m Market gardeners set their celery on • land from which an early crop of cab­

bages, cauliflowers, onions, etc., has been token; as the soil has been highly manured for these it remains rich enough for the celery. The soil being plowed and harrowed, it is marked off in rows three feet apart, and the plants set at every six inches in the row. Af­ter the plants are set the soil should be pressed very firmly against tne roots with the foot. On land not already rich the land must be manured; mark out the rows four feet apart and

U r o w t h etf d i e r i h a n y . There are now in the German em­

pire, according to the census for 1885, just completed, twenty-one cities with a population of more than 100,000. The establishment of the empire seems to have contributed greatly to its nu­merical growth, as there are in round numbers 6,000,000 more inhabitants than there were in 1871. It has in­creased more rapidly than any Euro­pean State except Kussia,and notwith­standing the large and continuous emigration Berlin has gained about 200,000 since the census of 1885, hav­ing over 1,316,382. Dusseldorf shows a gain of something above nineteen per cent, in five years, having at pres­ent 114,451. Even quaint, curious, pictorial Nuremberg has added an ex­cess of 16,000 to her people, now 116,-193. Strassburg, in the Kainbold pro­vinces of Elsas,,has 112,000, an incre­ment of 8,000. Despite this outward semblance of prosperity, it is declared that there is far more poverty and dis­tress than there was previous to the empire, and that thousands of the low­er orders devoutly wish that it had never been formed. In Berlin, partic­ularly, there has been, in the last fourteen years, a deal of suffering, and crime of every kind, from petty theft to child murder, has increased to an alarming extent. The heavy taxation levied upon the whole community to support the enormous army has been, one great cause of poverty among the people. Many of them are taxed near­ly, to death, and every ordinary subject of Emperor '"William feels the burden keenly and painfully.—Xr/r Y>iyk

—A new and interesting form of stereoscope consists of two dissolving-view lanterns placed side by side, each of which throws a magnified stereo­scopic picture on the screen. In front of these lanterns there is a rotating disk, portions of which are cut away, alternately, shutting off the picture from each lantern. By so arranging the rotating disk as to permit each eye to see only the view from one of the lanterns during its very brief exposure a stereoscopic effect is produced,.the impression of each picture remaining upon the retina of the corresponding eye long enough to appear to be con-, tinuous.
