The fountain of a woman's tears Lies closer to her heart than man’s. She lives by moments, he by yours; She pities where lie looks askance. First she to act the Christian part, Keener to feel for grief and pain; Perchance it Is bepause hm heart Is less a stranger to her brain. Howbelt—tie womanly to weep, Andjher sweet, sudden tear oft shame Onr bettor selves fro n torpid sleep To win a purer, nobler name. Dear, tender, tear-dimmed, woman eyes! How oft your tender, pitying tears Have lifted from us, garment wise, The pent-up bitterness of years! How oft your tears in some dark day, * Down dropping, sweet as scented thyme, ■ On our rough hearts have kissed away The stain of some intended crime! —Brooklyn Magazine. A WRONG RIGHTED. llupert King lay dying. His wife, a tail, black-eyed, haughty-looking woman knelt bsside him. On the opposite side of the bed leaned Paul Deering, the dying man’s stepson. EighteeVi years before Mr. King had married Paul’s mother, a widow with one child, then five years old. •‘There’s something I ought to have told you, Hester,” the dying man said to his wife. ‘‘Don’t think hardly of me when you know it, after I am dead. Look in the little drawer in my private desk a lien I am dead.” That was all he said. The widow found the following letter in the desk. She read it the day alter the funeral. It ran thus: “My dear wife—I have never told you that before I ever knew you I was married to another woman. She deceived and be trayed me, or I was led to believe so, and I left her. She died not long after leaving a little girl, whom I never looked after, because of the bitterness I still felt toward the mother, and because I did not believe she was my child. “If my first wife was an innocent wo man then I have bitterly and cruelly wronged my own child, and I leave to you the task of finding and righting her. “If you find that I wronged ray first wife I want you to seek out my child and Paul roust Cither marry her or give her the money I have left in my will to him. I should like them to marry. I trust all to Paul’s honor. ” i The letter fell from Hester King’s hands. An angry light gleamed in her black eyes. “Paul’s honor shall not be tried,” she said bitterly. “He shall never know. It shall be my secret.” She secretly set on foot inquiries which resulted in satisfying her, reluctant as she was,that her husband had cruelly wronged an innocent Woman. Almost at the same time that this con viction was forced upon her, her son to her horror and dismay, announced that he was thinking of marrying. Paul had poured the whole wealth of-his affection upon a girl who was only a poor music teacher. He had met her at the house of a friend, whose little girls she was giving lessons. Mrs. King knew human nature too well openly to oppose iher son. She therefore made no objection, but asked him to weigh the matter well, and not be in too great haste. Then, having obtained the girl’s address 3he went, without her son’s knowledge, to •see her. In spite of her prejudice she was im pressed by Edith Bond’s refined and cul tured appearance, as well as by her beauty, •■sweetness and dignity. She told her frankly that her son loved her, and it was evident by the hot blush, ' the drooping of the sweet eyes, that he did not love in vain. Then she told her that ‘if Paul married her it would be at the sac rifice of his whole fortune, though he did not know it. Finally, she asked her to go away where her sou could not find her. Edith Bond was violently agitated. “Mrs. King,” she slid, “do you think it is fair not to give him a chance to choose between his fortune and me?” “He would choose you,” Mrs. King an swered, despairingly. “Then,” spoke Edith, “if your son loves me so much as that, are you not afraid you will destroy his happiness?” “He will suffer in being separated from yo i, of course,” Mrs. King answered, cold ly,, “but he will get over it. He will live to thank me for interfering to prevent his throwing away a fortune and making him self a pauper.” There was a few moments’ silence, and then Edith Bond said gently; “I think you require too much of him, Mrs. King; out you are his mother. I will promise you this; I will go anywhere your son can not see me for a year, if you promise me if at the end of that time he still loves me you will tell him everything and leave him free to seek me if he choosesjto do so.” Mrs. King consented to do so very re luctantly, but she went home much re lieved. Edith Bond kept her word. She went away before Paul Dering could see her again, and she left no clew to where she liad vanished. .... Paul Dering’s amazement and griet at her inexplicable disappearance was so deep and violent that his mother was almost frightened at what she had done. Meanwhile she was causing secret but diligent search to be’ made for Lucy King, the cruelly wronged child of her dead hus band. But she could learn nothing of her. She had been taken in charge by an aunt at her mother’s death, and the two had gone away together, no one knew whither. Mrs. King one day showed her son his stepfather’s letter. She pointed out to him that he should marry' Lucy if she could be found; and thus keep the wealth from going to a stranger. But Paul declared he would marry none but Edith. That very evening Edith, so closely veiled and cloaked that no one would have known her, entered the room where Mrs. King sat alone. „„ . „ Throwing up her veil, she fell at Mrs. King’s knees and burst into tears. “Mrs. King,” siic cried, “I have but just heard of your angelic goodness. That un happy woman ddio was your husband s first wife, and who$e innocence from a hor rible accusation you have been at such pains to prove, was my mother. 1 am here to thank you for your noblest, most generous deed one woman over did for an other, I am here to tell you how ail my life I shal! worship you for righting her. 1 am here to tell you that I release you from the promise I was so presumptuous as to require of you, and to bind myself never to see your son again.” . , Mrs. King was pale with surprise and bewilderment. “1 don’t know wbat you mean, she said. “Is not your name Edith Bond. “My name is Lucy Edith King. 1 have been called generally by my aunt’s name, because she adopted me after my poor un happy mother’s death.” “You!” exclaimed Mrs. King. ‘You are Lutyr King?” To the girl’s amazement Mrs. King such denly caught her in her arms and kissed her. Three minutes after Paul Deering came hurring into the room. . . . “What is the matter?” he asked, staring at bis mother’s excited face and not no ticing at the moment that any one else was in the room. “This,” said his mother, leading Lucy lew T Ed,th 1!on ' 1 «"«> h«ev King She a deb rnvV Vlm to explanations, room “Rif/Yi ,V ’ n .Y h ?

Mr. Bishop “ y ^ ud \' uted * similar experi- nent durmg the last Christmas holidays St Petersburg before the imperial fam- tly.

The person concealing the object may be assumed to be a confederate in crime, and during bis absence I will remain in the custody of the rest ot the committee. After the ob ject shall have been concealed I will sub mit to be blindfolded and to have my head enveloped in a sack through which see ing will be impossible, and,being attached to the supposed criminal by about fifteen get oi thread-like wire, I will leave the Hotel Vendome punctually at 3:30 p. m. in a carriage, the. horses of which I will myselt drive in a blindfolded condition, and hi less than an hour I hope to be able to return with the hidden object in my possession, and so demonstrate the power of thought reading. The only conditions to be made are: First, that the article shall be concealed in some accessible place; and second, that the person exper- imented with shall keep the place of con cealment as well defined in his mind as an actual criminal might Be expected to do.” This experiment should be an interest ing one. The only thing about it that seems not clear is the condition that he is to be “attached to the supposed criminal by about fifteen feet of thread-like wire.” Does he mean to have that person go with him in the carriage? And if so, why so great a length of wire? Testimony of a llniaidst. The Swift Specific Co.—Gentlemen: We are gratified to report’ that Aaron Blaydes, living near this place, and who has been sutf-ring With a severe case of Blood Poison, is now well. He was cured by Swift’s Specific. He was blind, and his body was covered with eating sores. His sufferings were intense, and he seemed on the verge of the Stygian river, and had made every preparation to go to “that bourne from whence no traveler returns.” We furnished him with a supply of Swift’s Specific, and he is now well.

It is genera'ly understood that if a per son vacates a seat for a few moments and leaves some article in it, this will secure it till his return. In more than one instance we have seen an overcoat or satchel re moved from a seat thus reserved aud placed elsewhere by a newcomer. -An amusing ease of this kind recently occur red on a road not far from Hartford. A gentleman had occasion to leave his seat forp few moments at a station, and on re turning found his overcoat and satchel re moved and his seat taken possession of by a young man and “his best girl.” The gentleman said to the young man: “I think I am entitled to this seat, as I left articles in it while I stepped to the plut- form for a moment.” Said the young man, “Possession is nine points ol the law, and I think we will keep the seat.” “Then,” said the gentleman, “will you please rise that I may get my umbrella?” The voung man could not refuse this re quest, ana as he rose from the seat the gentleman slipped into it, much to the amusement of the other passengers. The young man then requested “his best girl” to go with him to another seat. In reply she said, “I can’t get out.” “Will you rise,” said the young man to the gentle man, “and allow this lady to come out?” “I think not,” said the latter; “if posses sion i3 nine points oi the law I propose to avail myself of the same, and if your friend wishes to vacate the seat she can step over or in front,” which she did with out delay, causing more than a smile from those who witnessed the performaaee. llnxic Serve Food for tho Nervous, Sleepless and Mentally Overworked.

Sneaking of a make-up a moment ago, reminds me to ask why it is that the young actresses of to-day are so fond ot inakin^ up on the wrong side of the footlights! J saw in one evening lately at two different | theatres two young singers, both pretty, both successful, and that there might be a trinity of virtues, both painted like comic valentines. Had either of these needed such a touching up of kindly Nature s gifts, it would not have been surprising, But to unnecessarily powder one s face, paint one’s cheek bones, and blacken one s mows in a manner to attract attention is piteous. Those in the audience who might have envied either of these girls her suc cess, saw something *o laugh at in the weakness that desired to embellish its beauty or bear in public the professional stamp. Some one wants to tell such peo ple that they must exert more art in beau tifying since what will pass behind the footlights will not pass in front. Profes sional women are getting altogether too iareless about such things. A MOST LIBERAL OFFER.

During the years that I have been afflicted I have tried almost everything claimed to be a specific for Dyspepsia in the hope of finding something that would afford per manent relief. I had about made up my mind to abandon all medicines when I no ticed an endorsement of Simmons Liver Regulator by a prominent Georgian, a jurist whom I knew, and concluded to try its effects in my case. I have used but two bottles, and am satisfied that J have struck the right thing at last. 1 felt its beneficial effects almost immediately. Unlike all other preparations of a similar kind, no special instructions are required as to what one shall or shall not eat,. This fact alone ought to commend it to all troubled with Dyspepsia. J. N.
