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.

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.

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.

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 Takiaa liar Part. Mamie—Now, Tommy, diAi't be a pig ! You’ve got my cake and yours, too. Pll just run and tell ma.
