Shine and Shade.
Some walk in the sunshine ever,
Home walk in the shade alway,
Some are wittv, bright and clever,
Some are sober, sacl and gray.,
Some chase alter smiles and laughter,
Some seek only mournful tears,
Some are young their prime long after,
Some get early into years.
Some get all the sweets and treasure,
Home get only care and grief,
JSomc receive life's fullest measure,
Some a short, lialf-iipened sheaf.
Thus it is in life’s endeavor,
Thus forver and for aj e,
Some live in the sunshine ever,
Some live in the^liade ahvay.
—Robert Ogden Fowler.
A GAME OF FORFEITS.
Isabel Rainsford looked up from the let
ter she held iu her hand with sparkling
eyes.
“Oh, how good! She will be here to
morrow!”
“Who, Bell?” asked Lieutenant Gran
ville.
“Pardon me. I had forgotten your
presence, Horace. I refer to Miss Wel
lington—Margaret. You have heard me
mention her?”
“Many times, A beauty, is she not?”
“She is. She is unlike all the women
you have seen, I know. And I have set
luy heart on her fancying Prank Ash
croft. He has flirted with all the belles
and beauties of New York for the past six
years. I have asked him here to spend
September. Won’t it be a glowing game
of diamond cut diamond?”
“Perhaps. I wish you success of your
scheme.”
Granville had been a mouth at Rains
ford, in the quiet suburban home of his
aunt, petted and nursed by his pretty
cousin Isabel and lionized by the fair
ladies of Amboy.
The morrow brought Miss Wellington.
There are some persons who impress
you with a subtle sense of their power
afar off'. She brought a rare, new atmos-
g here with her to Rainsford. There had
een nothing so dangerously sweet be
fore.
Horace Granville crimsoned to the fore
head when her sort, eooi fingers touched
his—and grqw vexed mid angry with him
self "or shivering when the heavy folds of
her silk dress swept across his feet.
After that fir t night Miss Wellington
seldom-noticed Lieutenant Granville. She
was courteous always, but her proud eyes,
never sulftened nor her rich voice trem
bled when she spoke to him. She main
tained toward him a sort of queenly, high
bred reserve which he never attempted to
overcome.
Frank Ashcroft arrived only two days
after Margaret.
The game began directly. For once it was
plain to see that Ashcroft was in earnest.
If he did not marry Miss Wellington it
would be through no lack of effort on his
part.
Day by day Ashcroft was by her side;
her companion iu rides, walks, excursions
—her most devoted cavalier constantly.
The month passed pleasantly—swiftly.
Only those hours seem long which are
given to sadness.
On Saturday Horace Granville was to
return to New York. i... wound
disabled him for service, but ne
offer of a lucrative position in the war of
fice at Washington, anu would probably
accept. He was without fortune—his only
income would be his pension; and now for
him manual toil was out of the question.
His expected departure was mentioned
among the guests at Rainsford. All were
profuse in their exclamations of regret.
All except Miss Wellington. She politely
suppressed a yawn and challenged Mr.
Ashcroft to a game of pawns. She was
tired of chess, and music on a night when
the crickets were so jubilant would be out
of place.
Ashcroft consented readily, but only on
one condition, he said.
“Name your proposition,” she said,
coldly.
“It is this: I pledge myself to perform
whatever forfeit you may inflict upon me,
and I require the same promise from
you.”
Ills dark eyes, expressing so much more
than his words, searched her face—she
knew that he meant to put her to some
test. She hesitated. He laughed taunt
ingly.
ane lifted her eyes—cold, proud, un
readable as those of the Sphinx.
“I muko the promise readily, remem
bering that you are a gentleman.”
He flushed hotly.
“I will not forget that I claim to be.”
The company seated themselves. The
game entered upon was the well known
one of “Couplets.” The first player furn
ished a line of poetry, to be matched or tion of it is the bark of trees. „
rhymed by the next player, and so on- -authorities have directea the specimen to
Failing to make the requisite rhyme, the
delinquent must pay a forfeit.
Mr. Ashcroft sat next to Margaret. As
she expected he gave out a line, the last
word of which it was impossible to match.
She made no attempt to do 30, but merely
said:
“Well. Mr. Ashcroft?”
“Shall I say on?”
F She grew a little pale—set her teeth—
and answered him in a cool even voice:
“Yes, you may say on.”
“And you promise to perform?”
“I have promised.”
“Very well, then.” He leaned over and
whispered in her ear—the words were to
tally inaudable to theothers, but Miss Wel
lington heard them distinctly—“Kiss the
man you love best.”
She reddened visibly and a look of pain
came into her eyes.
“Is this fair, Mr. Ashcroft?”
“Certainly—there was no stipulation in
regard to the nature of the forfeit.”
“You are right. Shall I take my own
time?”
“Yes.”
She smiled to herself—Ashcroft, half tri
umphant, bade the game go on. Horace
Granville softly withdrew. For some rea
son the sounds of mirth and happiness
grated harshly on his ear—it was misery
for hi 111 to sit there and wa"ch those gay-
young faces aud listen to the chorus of
sweet voices.
He sought his aunt’s private sitting
room, but it was dark. She had retired.
He threw himself down upon the sofa.
The darkness was pleasant to him. Some
times it is to us all. The silence and utter
quiet soothfd him, and he knew not
whether he was dreaming or awake.
There was a soft rustle of garments
near him—the subtle perfume of violets
drifted over his senses, and then a touch
so slight it would not have awakened a
slumbering infant fell on his face.
A wild thrill shot through his yems.
Only one woman’s kiss—one woman in all
the world—could thrill him thus.
He had his arm about her—drew her
down beside him—held her close. He telt
her shiver in his grasp—he knew that she
was weeping—but lie was a man, with all
a man’s grand sellishuess, and he would
not spare her.
“There is but one woman coulcljnove me
thus! Speak to me, my Margaret. May I
say mine?”
There was no reply, but a warm arm
crept around his neck, and for him the
darkness was light.
“I had hoped so little and loved so
much! oh, Margaret!” he began.
“And will you forgive me, Horace, for
loving you unasked?”
“Forgive you? Do we forgive heaven
for opening to us the golden doors?”
Mr. Ashcroft was politely astonished at
the turn affairs had taken. He left Rains
ford two days after Mis3 Wellin'”' 1 '
trothal was made public. I .
mess called him to New York.
A man who has studied the various phases of
the matrimonial market has come to the conclu
sion that every woman lias some chance to mar
ly: it may be one to fifty or It may be ten to one
she will. Representing a woman’s entire chance
nt too. he has made oat the following tabic to
show the chance at certalu points of time:

“X am afraid, Bobby,” said his mother,
“that when I tell your papa what a
naughty boy you’ve been to-day he will
punish you severely.”
“Have you got to tell him?” asked Bob
by, anxiously.
“Oh, yes, 1 shall tell him immediately
after dinner.”
(The look of concern upon Bobby’s face
deepened, until a bright thought struck
him.)
“Well, ina,” he said, “give him a better
dinner than usual. You ought to do that
much for me.”

The Doctor's Directions.
Little Tommy had a very perverse dispo
sition—a fact which the doctor who was
called to prescribe a coarse of treatment
for him recently .seems to have taken fully
into account. When the doctor called two
weeks after he had told Tommy whai to
do in order to get well, lie found the boy
plainly very much b tter. “Well, how
are you, Tommy?” the doctor aBked. “Oh,
I’m all cured now,” said Tommy, with a
griu. “That’s very good, I’m sure.” “Yes,
but I didn’t do a single one of the things
you told me to, doctor!” “Of course you
didn’t! I knew you wouldn’t, and that’s
the reason I told you to do them,” said the
doctor.—Boston Record.
The Verdict Unanimous.
W. D. Suit, druggist, Bippus, Ind., testi
fies: “lean recommend Electric Bitters as
the very best remedy. Every bottle sold
has given relief in every case. One man
took six bottles, and was cured of rheuma
tism of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham
Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms:
“The best selling medicine I have ever
handled in my 20 years’ experience, is
Electric Bitters.” Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the liver, kidneys or
blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at Bran
non & Carson’s Drug Store. eod&w

Advice to Mothers.—Mrs. Winslow’s
Soothing Syrup should always be used
when children are cutting teeth. It re
lieves the little sufferer at once; it produces
natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child
from pain, and the little cherub awakes as
“bright as a button.” It is very pleasant
to taste. It soothes the child, softens the
gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu
lates the bowels and is the best known
remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising
from teething or other causes. Twenty-
fl- e cents a bottle.^ ^ je!7 d&wly

. Free Trade.
The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking oil' of revenue stamps from Pro
prietary Medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers,as well as relieving
the burden of home manufacturers. Es
pecially is this the case with Green’s Au
gust Flower aud Boschee’s German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-six cents per
dozen, lias been added to increase the size
of the bottles containing those remedies,
therebv giving one-fifth more medicine in
the 75 cents size. The August Flower for
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the
German Syrup for Cough and Lung trou
bles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advantage of
increased size of the bottles will be greatly
appreciated by tire sick and afflicted, in
every town and village in civilized coun
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain
the same size. oct!2 d&wly

Excitement In Texas.
Great excitement has been caused in the
vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the remarkable
recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who was so
helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise
his head; everybody said he was dying of
consumption. A trial bottle of Dr. King s
New Discovery was sent him. Finding re
lief, he bought a large bottle and a box of
Dr. King’s New Life Pills; by the time he
had taken two boxes of Pills and two bot
tles of the Discovery, he was well and had
gained in flesh thirty-six pounds.
Trial bottles of this Great Discovery for
inPon free at Brannon & Carson’s.
