A Thrilling Romance. D Patience Rewarded. BY PAUL PLUME. Andrew iiogan liotl been an opulent farmer, and once rented a large, tract of land; his dwelling was situated close by the Ohio river. With the view of increas ing his wealth, he went into the specula tion of cattle, and quickly lost the fruits of long years of industry. He did not quite lose hope, however, but rented a small farm, and endeavored by patient toil to retrieve his altered fortunes. In vain he struggled to sustain himself ; the times were dull, there was no business doing, for the country was slowly and painfully recovering from a money panic, and Andrew Hogan, for a second time, was compelled to give up his home. He had an only daughter, a girl of some six teen years of age, named Ann. She hau been of great service to her father in managing his house, for Hogan’s wife died when Ann was fourteen, and young as sho was, she was able to direct and control the domestic affairs of the farm, and save her father many a dollar by her foresight and prudence. Andrew Hogan ■"’as walking the floor with rapid steps, and his daughter was sitting at a table en gaged in sewing. “We shall have to leave here, Ann,” he sa id, “and I scarcely know what we are to do. Perhaps it would be best for you marry William Pender, and gain yomv s ®lf a home. I have been selfish in op posing the matter heretofore ; but I yield n ow, so you can convey the intelligence *° William as you see best.” •vnu Hogan raised her eyes sorrowfully 1° her father's face. “Must you leave this 1° remain ?” "None that I know,” replied her father, except that I raise money enough to Continue farming until times become bet- * er: Bhd to-day I could not command a Mildred dollars if my salvation depended upon it.’’ Ihe conversation between Ann and her •‘‘ther here terminated, and Hogan put on “ ls hat and walked out to cool his fevered brow. '’’hen William Pender heard from • c h s lips the story of her father’s trou- ie - ho patted his sweetheart’s cheek aud d her to give herself no more concern was necessary. “The small fortune a .v father left me,” he said, “I have very a ach increased, aud now that we are £>ing to be married, I will purchase the Wace where you reside, and your father iC( l I wili try what we can do to make yon place ?” she aBked. “Is there no way thinr pay. Andrew Hogan unexpectedly dis- JT «red that there would be no occasion Jt him to move, and in less than a month imug'uter was married to William Pen- r - and they were all snugly living under 6 saiue r °of. It seemed, however, as if ^fortune had marked the Hogans for ‘dims. During the first year of her ^ rr iage, Ann’s father met with a painful ^ Cl dent while plowing. It was conBid* triUmg enough at first, but bad i^ptoins began to manifest themselves a few weeks, and before thirty days Andrew Hogan was dead. ,. Rubles ended here, poor Ann V 00 ^ ou ^ t ^ ave been grateful; but <Uth baDd ’ sotm after her father’s kere Stailed awa y on horseback and c ' Ifctur ^- the fact of bis having sum of money on bis person gay$ after Relapsed ttadher rise to the suspicion that he was murder ed. Before six months was gone Ann Pender was deranged. She used to spend her days in searching the neighborhood for her husband, her mind being impress ed with the idea that Willie was lost. She wonld go from neighbor to neighbor soliciting money, that she might employ men to search for him. Thus years passed away, and Ann Pender’s mind never recovered its wanted strength. Her husband had left enough money to sup port her comfortably, and the authorities placed her in charge of a family who kindly attended to her wants. About a mile from Ann’s old home lived Franklin Morton, a man who was very wealthy aDd who lived in excellent style. In early days he had married the daughter of a farmer, who bore one child named Margaret. When Margaret was seven years old her mother died, and when she entered her twentieth year her grandfather died also and bequeathed to her his entire estate, which was very large. The fact was, Margaret’s wealth exceeded that of her parents, and of course she had an abnndance of Bnitors, and among them one Walter Clark. Who and what he was, does; not signify. He was in love with Maggie Morton, and she reciprocated his feelings. Her father, who had high notions of bis daughter’s marrying, commanded her to have noth ing to do with Clark, and never to dare think of marrying him. But women are obstinate in cases like these, and not withstanding the threats of her father Maggie Morton refused to discard her lover. This agt of disobedience roused all the latent ire in her father’s heart. “Would you marry one,” he sneered, “without a dollar in his pocket, and nev er likely to have one, as he has no busi ness?” “Yes,” replied Maggie with spirit; “if he were a beggar I would wed him, for I love him. When I become of age I shall have more than enough for both of us, and as that period is not very remote, I imagine we will be able to await it with patience.” To say that Mr. Morton watched his daughter with lynx-eyed vigilance would but faintly express the exceeding care he took to keep Maggie and her lover from meeting each other. Bnt of course they did meet, and no amonnt of carefnl watching could prevent it. Some little distance from Air. Morton’s house there was a grove, and just beyond this rose a mound or hill which commanded a good view for the distance of a mile. It was in this grove that the lovers used to hold their clandestine interviews. But the oc casions whjen Maggie could meet her lov- were so uncertain, that he would sometimes seek the rendezvous for days at a time before he met her. One morn ing he was seated in the grove awaiting her when he saw a female form on the mound. In an instant he was hastening to the spot under the supposition that it was Maggie, but when he arrived there was no one to be seen. Disappointed and heart-sick he turned away. For several mornings the same thing occurred, aud Clark began to be perplexed and very nervous. At length, however, Maggie was able to meet him, and he forthwith related to her what he had witnessed. She was as much confounded as himself, but they soon forgot the subject in talking over their own affairs. Not long afterwards poor Ann Pender went to Mr. Morton's house, and request ed him to give her some money, that she might employ men to search for her miss ing husband. At first Mr. Morton spoke kindly to the poor creature, though he refused her request; but when she be came clamorous in her demand, he treat ed her rudely and ordered his servants to see her off the place. ‘And you refuse the supplication of the widow?” she screamed. “Yon do, bey? Well, I curse you, and the time shall come when you will lose your daughter, and yon shall seek her and not find her.” These were the parting words of Ann Pender. Some little time after this when Clark and Maggie Morton were bolding one of their stolen interviews in the grove, Ann Pender was lurking near at hand. Mag gie was telliDg her lover that she could only spend a few moments in his society on account of the scrutiny that was exer cised over her movements. “And is this to last forever?” asked Clark in a mournful tone. “Are we to meet and scarcely say two words of wel come before we ssy good-by, to meet again we know not when?” “Be patient, Willie,” answered Marga ret, “when I have a right to my fortune, if my father is still opposed to our union I will mairy you without any longer de lay.” “Yes,” replied Clark, “and the world will call me a fortune hunter.” “What will that signify?” said Marga ret. “I know you are not; and that is enough for me.” “Curses on yon both,” shouted a voice from the bushes, and a stout woman in a tattered and faded dress stood before them. “I have discovered you, have I? I’ll away and give the information, and perhaps he’ll give me the money,” and in an instant the woman had darted off. “'Tis crazy Ann,” Maggie called to Clark who was pursuing the creatnre. “Bhe is harmless.” “But she will go and inform your lath er,” said Clark. “Never fear,” replied Maggie, “she will do nothing of the kind.” But Maggie Morton was mistaken. Ann Pender has tened to her father and related the con versation she had overheard in the grove, but Mr. Morton, failing to give her money, the woman railed against him as she had previously done and was again turned off the grounds. For long days Clark waited in vain for Maggie to appear; he was not aware of the terrible scene that had occurred be tween the father and daughter, when Maggie openly admitted that she had bee© meeting her lover. Some time after when Clark was wait- ing in the grove in the hope of meeting Maggie, poor Ann Pender appearedjbe- fore him. “I have done a thing,” she aaid, “whioh makes me sleepless. I gave the wound, I will heal the wound. I did the mischief, and I will repair it. I know your trouble. Write a note and Ann Pender will deliver it, safely and quickly too.” Clark was deceived as many are deceiv ed by a mad person’s temporary return to reason, and agreed to meet her in an hour with a letter for Maggie. But he more than half repented having done so, when at the sight of the letter Ann Pen der’s wildness returned. It was too late, however, for she was gone in a moment, clutching the note tightly in her hand. “I was a fool to trust her,” murmured Clark. “She will give the letter to Mr Morton.” He was mistaken, however. The next day the poor creatnre met him with a re' ply from Margaret. She had managed to crawl under Miss Morton’s window un observed, and delivered Clark’s note and received a reply. The letter of Maggie gave him some thing to ponder on. She directed him to keep himself concealed, and see that a report was circulated that he had left the country. That at nights he could repair to a certain hollow tree iu the grove and search for letters, and when it was neces sary to communicate with him she would send him some important instructions. For two months William Clark kept him self concealed, and only ventured out at night to seek the grove in hopes of re ceiving a letter. At length he was re warded. A harried note told him that her father was satisfied that he had left the country, and she was not so closely guarded as before. She, moreover, told him to watch for her on the third morning after he saw a small fire kindled on the mound. The reader may judge how anx iously Clark watched that hill until he saw one day the thin blue smoke curling upward from its summit. The third morning afterward, he was at his post, and Maggie appeared on horseback. “To -day I am twenty-one,” she ex claimed, and she threw herself into her lover’s arms. “Will you fly with me?” asked Clark. “There is no occasion to flee,” replied Miss Morton, “but I will marry you. Get a horse and we will ride to town.” William Clark required no second bid ding; he was soon on his way to a neigh boring town where he made Margaret Morton his wife. In the mean time a large company of friends had assembled at Mr. Morton’s house in honor of Maggie coming into her fortune. As scon as her absence was discovered Mr. Morton was fairly frantic and with the guests began to search the country for the absent one. “Ha! ha! ha!” cried the voice of Ann Pender, “did I not tell you that you would lose your daughter, and not find her? And now again I curse you, nor will I aid you to seek her.” The consternation of Mr. Morton and his friends was indescribable when night came and Margaret came not with it. The following day a letter from his daughter solved the mystery. She was married to William Clark, whom he sup posed to be thousands of miles away. It was sometime before the baffled pa rent could forgive his daughter. At last, however, discovering that, resistance was not only useless, but ridiculous, he con sented to receive the delinquents. Grateful for the service that Ann Pen der had done them, Mr. aud Mrs, Clark had the poor creature placed under the best medical men, and were rewarded by seeing her completely recover her reason. ONE RIGHT OF A WIFE. [From tho Woman’s Journal.] A Clergyman’s Joke.—A clergyman, a widower, residing in one of our Vermont rural towns, recently created a first-class sensation in his household, which consist ed of several grown up daughters. The reverend gentleman was absent from home for a number of days, visiting in an adjoining town. The daughters re ceived a letter from their father which stated he had “married a lady with six sprightly children,” and that he might be expected home at a certain time. The effect of that news was a great shook to the happy family. The girls, noted for their meekness and amiable tempera- ments, seemed another Bet of beings: there was weeping and wailing and tear ing of hair, and all manner of nanghty things said. The tidy home was neglect* ed, and when the day of arrival came the house was anything but inviting. At last the Rev. Mr. came, but he was alone. He greeted his daughters aB usu al, aud as he viewed the neglected par lors, there was a merry twinkle in his eye. The daughters were nervous and evidently anxious. At last the eldest mustered courage aud asked: “Where is mother?” “In heaven,” said the good man. “But where is the widow with six chil dren whom yon wrote you had married?" “Why, I married her to another man, my dears!” It is said to have been amusing to see those seven girls set things to rights. “John,” said I one night to my hug’ band, as I put my basket of sewing away preparatory to retiring, “John as you go down to-morrow morning, I wish you would stop at Mrs. West’s door and leave her $5 for me.” “Five dollars ! ” and my lord looked up quite astonished. “For what?” “Why, she is collecting money to aid that society she is secretary of, and as I -always felt interested in it, I told her would give her $5. ” I said this with quite a show of assu rance, though I really felt quite uneasy as to the reception of my request,for John is rather notional in some of his ways; how ever, I had been cogitating some matters lately in my own mind, and determined to make a bold stand. “Well, Sarah,” at length came the res ply, “you need not count on my doing any such thing. I don’t approve of that society at all, and not one cent of my money shall go to help it.” “I give it out of my money,” said I, growing bolder; “I only asked you to leave it at her door for mo.” “Your money! What do you mean?” “I mean what I say—my money. Have I no right to spend money as well as you. I don’t approve of the Ma sons, but. that does not hinder you from spending money and time for them as mnch as yon have a mind.” John looked at me quite amazed at my sudden outbreak. You see, 1 had .always been the most amiable of wives. Then he broke out quite triumphantly. “Come now, who earns the money that maintains this^family?” “You and I together,” said I. “Together! Well, I should like to see the first cent you have earned in the seven years we have been married. To gether! Well, I call that pretty rich. ”j My spirits were visibly declining under his ridicule, but I kept on as boldly as I could. “When we were married you thought or pretended to think, yourself very hap py in assuming the care of board and wardrobe. I didn’t ask it of you. You asked me to be your wife, knowing well all that meant. ” As nearly as I remember,” interrupt ed John, you were mighty ready to accept me.” Granted, to save argument,” said I, coloring. Well, we stood up in church together and you promised to love, cherish, etc., and so did I.” “And obey, too,” said I; “but you, in return, endowed me with all your wordly goods, aud the minister pronounced us man and wife, and so we have lived.” “Yes,” said John, complacently; “and as I look back over the time, I think I have done what I agreed and made a pretty good husband. I really think you ought to be thankful when you see how some wiveB live.” I “Well, that is curious complaining; what would you have me do?” “You might have got a servant,instead of letting all the housework fall on me; or you might have kept a horse, so that I could ride out and enjoy the fine weather,- but that is all past now.” “I should say that it cost me enough for the doctor, nurse, etc., without talk ing about keeping a horse.” “True, it cost enough; but I am talk ing abut the division of the burden. Was the part you bore iu the payment of those bills equal to my part in the matter? Would you have taken my place for that money if it were to have been paid you instead of those who cared for you? I think not. ” “Didn’t I have all his clothes to buy?” “No, sir. I went without new clothes of any sort for a season, and the money saved from my wardrobe supplied all that was needed, and I might add that all his other clothes have been got in the same way.” “Well, really, I had no idea how much of a martyr you were. Next you will be clothing me in the same way. How thank ful I ought to be for so calculating a wife!” “Now, in these two yearB,” said I con tinuing in the face of his sneer, “all of the care and confinement consequent on attending the child have fallen on me. I have managed some way to accomplish my housework and sewing as I used. I can hardly think how it has been done. Did it ever occur to you to think how many times I have been to church since he was born?” “You wouldn’t expect a man to take care of a baby, would you? That isn’t man’s work.” '‘Isn’t it?” said I bitterly; “then wouldn’t have a baby. I have been to church just four times, and then some visitor had staid with Johnny. How many times did you ever get up in the night to sooth him when he has been sick and fretful?” “How do you suppose,” said he, BOOTS AND SHOES. NEW SHOES —AT— Tomato Soup.—Boil two and one-half pounds of lamb in four quarts of water; boil the lamb to shreds aud the water down to two quarts; strain it. Peel and cut up fine two quarts of fresh tomatoes, mix them with the liquor; stir them very hard, aud boil them half an hour; season with parseley, pepper, and salt; strain them again; stir in one tablespoonful of butter before pouring into the tureen. The broth in which chickens were boiled is often preferred to the lamb. Among the good acts which Suetonius mentions as signalizing the commence ment of the reign of Tiberins was the prohibition by an edict of the oustom of daily kissing. “Well,” said I, “I think I have been a domestic, prudent wife, and I don’t feel one atom more of gratitude to you for being a decent husband than you ought to feel to me for being a decent wife. Is it any more merit that you keep your mar riage promises thau that I keep mine?” “Sarah, you are positively very acrimo nious to-night. Don’t you think we had better go to bed?” “No, sir. Well, meantime we have laid by money to buy this house and still have some in the bank. ” “Thanks to my hard work!” chimed in JohD. “More thanks,” said I, “to the perfect good health we have always had. We made all these promises for better or for worse. Now it has been better for us all the time. Had you been sick or hon est misfortune befallen you, I should have managed some way to reduce our expenses bo that yon might feel the burden as lit tle as might be. Had I been sick, more care wouldj have fallen on yon. But we helped each other save, and now I claim an equal right with you in spending money. ” “Whew! Why, that is treason. But go on.” “If we occupied the respective posi tions of superior and subordinate,! should do what I do for you for a fixed stipend, and no questions should be asked as to the use made of it. Being equals, I will not ask compensation as a servant; but because the contract we have made is lifelong and not easily broken, I do not therefore call it very magnanimous iu a prosperous man to accept these services and render in return only my board and the least amount that will creditably clothe me.” You see I was growing irate. John’s temper, too, was evidently on the rise. “What do you mean by services?Hou8e- work? I am sure a home is as much for your satisfaction as for mine; and I am sure the tailor does>ot leave much of my sewing for you to do.” “I don’t complain of housework nor of doing your sewing; but I do think the burden of little Johnny has fallen on me.” “It strikes me,” said he, with a provo king complacency of tone, “lhat if you earned his living[yon would have less to Fay about the burden falling on you.” “John,” said I, “answer me honestly. Do you work any harder or any longer now than you did before he was bom?” “I don’t know as I do,” said he; “I al ways worked hard enough.” “Well, and so do I. But how as to Johnny. I presume you will allow your self half owner of him, as the law allows you entire control over him. How much do you do for him?” “I maintain him. I do my part.” “No, John, you are wrong; you don’t do your part. From the first you never have. Did not weary months go by in whioh you bore no part whatever of the harden?” could work by day if I didn’t get my night’s sleep?” Just the same way that I do when mine is broken, exactly.” Well, Sarah, what is the drift of all this talk, any way? for I don’t see any use in prolonging it.” “Well, then it is my original statement —that as I did my part of the family la bor and took all the care of Juhnny, and you are a man in prosperous circumstan ces, I am eutitled to as mnch money for that as if I were employed and paid by the month for the same work, and I have right to spend money for things that don’t suit you, if I please to do so, aud I may add,” said I, with a sudden vehe mence, “that it is mean and contempti ble in you to try to oppose or forbid my doing so. ” John said no more. I saw by the look in his eyes that he was quite angry; and so was I. That was the first time in oar married life that we failed to kiss each other good night. Indeed, I felt guilty, though I hardly knew why, but it was late before I fell asleep. The next morning all was serene. No trace remained of the evening’s storm, but nothing more was said about the ob noxious subscriptions. Next day I met Mrs. West, and she thanked me very much for doubling my money. Dear John! He didnt’ mean to be un- kind, bat he had never stopped to think about such things. When his next settle ment came, and he slipped a $20 bill in to my hand and said, “That is for your private purse,” I really thought he was the best husband in the world. A Fortiori.—The following story came from Spain: A Spanish sentinel one dark night was posted at the entrance of a fort outside of Malaga. About midnight he heard some one approaching, and gave the usu al challenge, equivalent to oar “Who comes there?” To his amazement the answer was, “Jesus of Nazareth!” He at once called the sergeant of the guard and reported the facts to him. The ser geant went forward, challenged the in truder iu his turn, and received the same answer. Infuriated at what be consid ered was an attempt to trifle with bim, he knocked the man down with his musket, and beat him severely. He then sent for a lantern to ascertain who it was. When the light came, he saw that it was a gen tleman of high standing who lived in the neighborhood, but who was out of his mind. The sergeant, deeply regretting his hasty action, said to the man, “I am very sorry I hurt you; but hereafter when I challenge you, remember to give your own name.” The poor victim replied, “I am not such a fool as to do that. If this is the kind of reception you give Jesus of Naz areth, you would have killed me outright if I had given my own name.” Schenck’a Pulmonic Syrup, for the Cube of Consumption, Coughs and Colds. The great virtue of this medicine is that it ripens the matter and throws it out of the system, purifies the blood aud thus effects a cure. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic, for the Cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, etc. The Tonic produces a healthy action of the stomach, creating an appetite, form ing chyle, and curing the most obstinate cases of Indigestion. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, fob the Cure of Liver Complaint, etc. These Pills are alterative, and produce a healthy action of the liver without the least danger, as they are free from calo mel, and yet more tfficaclous in restoring a healthy action of the liver. These remedies are a certain cure for Consumption, as the Puimonic Syrup ripens the matter and purifies the blood. The Mandrake Pills act npon the liver, create a healthy bile, and remove all dis eases of the liver, often a cause of Con sumption. The Sea Weed Tonic giveB tone and strength to the stomach, makes a good digestion, and enables the organs to form good blood; and thus creates a healthy circulation of healthy blood. The combined action of these medicines, as thus explained, will cure every case of Consumption, if taken in time, and the use of the medicines persevered in.

Thursday evening a clergyman, referring to sinners in his prayer, used this expres sion: “We see them suspended over hell.” “Glory to God!” rang out the re sponse with all the enthusiasm of an old time Methodist. —A lady at a summer resort, whose unruly children annoy everybody in the hotel, the other day said to a noted teach, er, sitting near her at table. “Professor, do you believe in the nse of the rod, in the management of children?” The pro fessor glared at the annoying children, and grimly replied: “Sometimes, mad am; bat there are cases where I should prefer the revolver! ” —“After all, you were only a circus ar tist,” said a prosperous equestrian’s daughter to a well-known aud clever ac tress, now retired from the boards, on meeting her behind the scenes-the other day; “you were a member of my father’s circus company.” “Yes,” replied the el derly lady, with dignity; but there are grades 6ven in a circus; your father used to chalk my shoos. ” —An exchange thinks that the most important improvement now needed is a kind of green corn with a handle grow ing cut of each end of the cob. This, of course, would be an advantage; but what a large percentage of our American citizens are most praying for a kind of green corn that will timidly and submis sively release its hold upon the cob before the awful presence of a doable set of false teeth. —A certain registrar in an English town is unfortunately very deaf. One day a woman went to register the birth of her child, and had to answer the usual questions. To the one, “Were you pres ent at the birth?” the astonished woman answered: “I’m the mother of the child.” “Bnt that is not an answer to my ques tion,” replied the registrar. “Were you present at the birth?” “Yes, of course,” she said, “I was there,’’ CHEAP BOOTS and SHOES AT THE IV E W STORE!
