We ate prominent stock brokers, And uneoree'Giiable croakers. But we re really quite impartial in our efforts, as all know. Though we make it our great mission To organize suspicion. And to see that it s directed in the way It ought to go. If business yields no profit. To say that we re glad of it May perhaps sound rather harshly, but the charge is not unjust. While the news of a disaster We take pains to hurry faster I£ it tends to break down confidence and gen erate distrust. We are always in the burner To welcome each bad rumor. And we get them up ourselves at times and set them on their feet; We indulge in innuendo • As to what the other men do. And strive to break the market down fend ter rify the street. If a railroaa meets with trouble, We proclaim it but a bubble. That’s it s merely air and water and is very sure to burst; And we warn th * poor stockholder, Before lie gets much older. To sell his shares for what they’ll bring and thus escape the worst. We can judge by circumstances Win tv 'tw II do to take the chances, And to talk about the prospects of the roads we would depress; But to say that all their feeders Will most certainly prove bleeders. And weaken all the system, Is a pretty safe address. If good dividends the.'r paving We can find a way of saying That their earnings do not justify the divi (lends they make; That we've the means of knowing That the r bonded debt is growing, And soon Will be so very large that dividends must break. When we want to bo specific We can talk of Blank Pacific And discourse about Its prospects in words ot darkest hue: Or we speak of Lackawanna In a very dubious manner, As if there were no knowing, in the future, what they’d do. We have v'ews to meet all eases, And the market shows our traces Iu the falling off of prices when we choose to give the cue; For our customers are classes That look always through our glasses, And the spectacles we always use are very darkly blue. prey upon our ne'ghbors, And in putting in our labors We require little capital: for if we own no snare We can sell out Dick or Harry, While the stock they’ve got to carry Until we get the prices down as low as they will bear. It goes without our saying That the game which we are playing Ts a very pretty game of bluff —as we are sell ing short — And before the game is over, That we have got to cover. Or take the chance of be.ng squeezed, in which there is no sport. —N. Y. Evenin'} Record. FACET TOL’ACE. A Fact Related in Seven Well- Told Fables. BY 11. E.

And one do is like to get hei a bit all to one’s self once and again, seeing she’s to be married s > s>on. Ay one dead and trie other wed; but the end of it will be com’ng some day to one and all—one and all.” “Married!” cried the soldier, start ing back, as if he had received a sudden blow. “Ay.

"Tin day afer to-morro.v, at yonder clin ch, wl ere her mother's buried; that’s where it’s to bo. And it seems but t'other day I ran oil' with her— that's her poor mother —all the way from London town. A}-.” “ She loves him?” “ Young man —you’re a rum custom er! If you hadn’t known my boy I’d —of course she does! Why, bar me, lie's the best farmer in all t.ie country round. Come home along with me.” “No.” And he strode away, leaving old Tom Iliackthorn in a stare. So this is what he had come home to find. Pitifully weakened as he was, forgetful of a once famd ar voice and fat* Tom Blackthorn’s wits were clear eu nigh to know that Patience was to be C.e wife of Enoch Marrisli in two day;. Falsehood and error about that there could not b\ It could not be true unless Patien e were as —no; th >re was nothing to liken it to: as f ilse as hell, they say, but hell itself must henceforth be called false ai Pat en -e Blackthorn. There could be no mere misun lerstandin ; here. It wa ; fact— that th j v liaiu who had b trace l lira had won his sweetheart, too. If Pa tience bad b eu spir tc l silen lv away woul 1 h : have o iked at another woman in the world? No: while life endured. And iu sixteen months'she could f, rget him and be consoled—by Enoch Mar rish, ti e rich man! And be had come home wi h hope so confid n! and so high. There was om n of all good fortune in hi h iving b e.i le t unbmie 1 when, a ter the r and V feat, the 1 reach retired; in hi, having boon damaged enough to be seat home af . r six weeks in hospital at Tal ivera. He was as cert iiu of finding Patin e waiting as of his own life, and more. And —s'n >e she was about to bo the wife of another, she could never have been true. What m ckerv it was that he had not truly died*. H * thought no longer of the carter that he had meant to renew by tight’rfjT his way up the lost, steps of the ladder aga’n. It was no moment* in w hich lost and hr >ken love could be made up for by ambition, if ever it can. It was all 1 1 mk and dark —the star that had lighted him through the valley of the shallow of death shone no more. His heart see nod all at once to die —but it was in wrath and pride. It was well that, he had not been al lowed to name hs namlt was well that he had been forgotten. Patience had forgotten him—it must be the work of his life to forget her. She could not have been deceived. No dec it could have made her marry another. That, at least, must have been of her own fr “e will. He judged her by herself, as all men must judge all men, and all women, too. As for Marrish—but Mur rish as well as another, s : nee another it was to be. Tnc meiner toe man, the xuore lit for a fal-e woman. So that was why he was t) be put out of the way- an lit had been well. Better had been death than loss of faith; but better loss of faith than marriage with false hood an l Patience Bla kthorn: The very word had not happened to him, after all. Siic had promised him because he was rich when she was poor. She had thrown h m over for the lirst man who was richer st"II. It was an o’d story. And yet—would to He wen lie had never been made wise, and had gone blind to the grave. And there on his finqer was what was to have been her wedding-ring. The wretched circle of the metal for which girl’s sell themselves sparkled with mockery in the sun. It was from t le moment of this coming on his linger that the tragedy ha l begun. Up to that instant ( e hut been more than all lie had ever hoped to be. From that in stant it was as if he had been a mere slave to some demon that dwelt therein. Fancies, run riot at such moments as these. The ring—it was the symbol of broken faith and falsehood and all evil, if it were not the cause. It should curse the linger of a true lover and an h mest man no more. With a bitter pang he recaile 1 the triumph of lirst putting it thereon; then, with a wrench like the crushing of heart and brain to gether, he tore it from the hand that had earr ed it through despair, hope, death, exile, and thro.v it from him far away. FABLE THE SEVENTH. BUT WAR AND WEDLOCK WANTETJI TWO. I. “I think, Tom Blackthorn, 1 twere about time you thought of settling that there two hundred pound—or it’ll be a tritlc over by now. ’ So had Farmer Marrish gently insinu ated some raon h or so after Stephen Ha low’s pocket-book had been re turned. “Two hundred poun Is? Why, I don’t owe you a stick nor a straw.” “That depends on the market price of sticks and straws, I reckon. But a man can’t afford to stay out of a stick, these hard times.” “But Prestons of Millport—” “ ’Twas a 1 humbug a out Prestons of Millport, Tom Blackthorn—all flash and gammon, every word. I’ve writ ten to ’em myself; and 't s because of their answer I’m here to-day. And there it is—just No Go.” And certainly tli; letter Farmer Black thorn read was curt enough—that their former clerk, Mr. Harlow, had com municated with them on the subject, but that under the circumstances they did not choose further to entertain the matter. It was, in short, No Go. It was a terrible blow to a sanguine man, who fancied that everything had been settled in a day. “ If ever 1 catch hoi 1 of that infernal, ungrateful vida'n, Stephen Harlow,” he burst out, crumpling the letter in his hand. “So,” said Enoch Marrish, quietly but firmly, “things are left just as they were. You’d better have taken a plain man's offer at. first, farmer, after all." “Ay —I remember an uncommon plain man offering to turn me out ot house and home.” “No, no—” “But yes, yes, I say. But I deserve it. Once, for go ng beggingto my own father-in law; and twice, toe trusting to a drunken blackguard’s infernal, un grateful spawn. There, Marrish. Say the word. When am lto go?” “Gome, den’t be so bob farmer. There’s no no and to fly out at a man be cause he wants bis own. Out of house and home! ’Twasn’t lews Croft I was after, if you rightly mind.” “ What then?” “Patience Blackthorn. ’ ’ The two farmers sat and looked at one another without speaking. And yet there was a bargain, the outbargain, going on between them as surely as if they were in full market chatter. That Enoch, the miser, should want a wife in stead of the best farm in all the country beat Tom Blackthorn. True, the wife he wanted w-.vs Patience; but a wife is a wife, and cos's something for her keep, whoever she may be. “You’ll take my girl without a pen ny?” he asked, at last. “Ay; anil have the best of the bar gain.” “No doubt; if you was a young man. You’d look to come in for Leys Croft after l m gone; but I’m a ten times heartier man than you ever were.” “Mayn’t a chap be in love, Tom Blackthorn? Didn’t such a thing ever happen to you?” “Ay. Such a thing has happened to me. Well—love does play tricks; though I’d have thought he'd sooner play tricks on a hurdle post than on you.” “The (lay I marry Patience,” said Marrish, “that mortgage goes into the lire; ay, and I’ll let you have a thou sand without interest, and no better se curity than your own word.” Harder and harder Fa mor Black thorn stared. But there sat the other rugged and uncouth, indeed, but utte - ly in earnest —anybody with eyes and e .r.s could see that, though ho v mu eh in earnest none coul l h tve seen. But something else tugged at Tom Black thorn’s heart-strings. She was not to h m what his only son would h.ve been; but she was his only girl. “No, no. neighbor,” said he. “You’re kind at ih ; core, and I’m sorry if you care for the bus—but, no, no, it won’t do.” A glow came in'o Enoch’s eyes. “You don’t mean to tell me she s still frett n ' about that —” ‘ That infernal, ungratef and viper? What do you main? Patience Black thorn fretting aft r the spawn of a drunken blacksmith? But I beg \our pa-don, Mar.ish. ’Tisa’t likely you'd un lerstan l the Black horn ] ride.” No sting touched the man who ha 1 but two ideas—whit lie wanted, and how to gi t it, late or soon. “Then,” said he, “if Patience says ay, \ou won’t say pay? ’ “Ah, but she won't say ay.” “But if? Oniy if— that’s' all?” “If she says ay—well, neighbor, all my notions of womankind would be turned upside down.” Tom B ackthorn was p irfeePv sin cere in believing h in e f t i be suieere- Hc did think that a girl must have a pretty large throat before she could contrive to swallow old Enoch Ma risli, even with all his moaev-bags to send him down. But if she* only could it would be a great tiling. For, thanks (as he held) to the treachery of Stephen Har’.ovv, ruin stared him full in the face again. “Patience,” said he, after supper, when ho usually chatted for a h ilf an hour or so over the events of the day and a tumbler, “Enoch MarrD.i lias been over." “Yes, father?” she aske 1. feigning more interest than she could f el. If he h ;d said t ie Prince of Wales had been at Leys Croft it would have been the same. “Marrish isn't a bad fellow. Pa tience. lie's rough to lo >k at, but he’s stanch and sound. And he s really au uncommonly line young man for Ins age.” He thought lie was leading up to things with the most delicate tact in the world: and he also thought he was making no attempt to bias her. But she only thought he was jesting; and that was a good thing, for his jests had of late been rare. “Patience,” he went on, “I've been thinking a good bit; and tis about you/’ . , “About mo, father? Oh, never mind me. I'm all right—” For if she had that Blackthorn pride which a Marrish could not do sup posed to understand, she had her own. “ No. You're not all right. You're pot right at all. I'm a selfish old brute to keep you here, through the best of your days—” “Father? What do you mean? Where else should l bo, but with you?” “You’re a good girl, Patienc *. 1 know that. But a good and ugh'or is but waste if she don’t become a go and wife and a good mother all in good time. I say, what should you say if a young fellow, or he needn’t b* so very young was to be wanting to take you away to be mistress of a farm of > oar own —” “Oh, hush, father!” said she, with alarm. “ You’re only want ng to try me. There’s nobo ly wants me but you; and if there was—oh, don’t you know what I should say? 1 should say No: if he was ti e King.” And so clear did her heart show itself through her eyes that her father could only say: “Give me a kiss, my lass. So you do care for your old father more than all the world? 1 ’ “Not more-only!” said she. He should have let well alone. But then he would no have been Tom Blackthorn. “And if anybody,” h • said, “says you’re fretfng after that viper, St phen Harlow, L may knock him down for a liar—eh?” “Wh it is Stephen Harlow to me?” she said, with a tremble in her voice that would have told sharper ears that, whether in love or hate, he was a great deal. “Oh, father! I thought I t' ought—we were never to speak of him again. For oh, you know—l did care for him—” “There —there —t'iat’ll do,” said Tom Blackthorn, hastily, w.th a dread of woman’s t ars; which, however, showed no sign of coming. “There—there. But if you don’t care for him, like my own proud las - , there's naught to pre vent you caring for a better man?” “Never for any, better or worse, but, one—and that's you. Father,pronuse me one thing. Never speak of my marry ing again; neither joking nor not jok ing. You want me and I want you, and naught else; and we'll be o’d man and old ma and together. So that’s set tled, father. If any man’s been asking for me you just tell him I’m married to you.” He could not help being pleased, and the more a-, instead of the tears he dreade 1, she had tipped her own little jest with a real smile. But devotion of that sort, however pleasant for the mo ment, would not keep Leys Croft, as he felt when he had slept off the comfort ,of the night, when the day is done and nothing more can come to harm, an 1 was face to face with next moru'ng and a mortgaged fai m. He dreaded every foots'ep he heard, lest it should be Enoch Marrish come to claim either his daughter or his l oud. But the creditor had far too much of the wisdom of the serpent to appear too soon or too suddenly upon toe scene. He was not a man of tact; but he had what can dispense with tact, and is bet ter than all the tact in the world for winn ng—a straight line between him self and a sing’e en 1, and feet to follow it, whether they led him through foul marsh or open plain. He h. il not eve i tin weakness on which some men split, of preferring crooked ways to straight ones. But if the croaked were the sure 4 and quickest, then they were the ones to use. As for turning back, it was not in hm. lie had seen other people do it, and had only wondered how it was done. Enoch fully understood, as if it had been signed and sealed, that if lie* could get the daughter’s ay lie need not fe r tiic father’s nay. So. Laving found out that maidens are queer catt e, he went to work warily. Not a word did he say thenceforth to Tom or Patience about the hold lie had over Leys Croft (of which, indeed, Patience otherwise knew nothing). Not even by a lent did lie disparage her lost lover, though lie hated him as we can hate those alone to whom we have done wrong. But, to show how much in earnest he was, lie spent time, which to him meant its full weight in money. He even let his own affairs slide a bit (though never past being able to pull them up again) in order to attend to Leys (’ro t i*mi lighten Tom Blackthorn s shoulders. He did not make love in any common place way, because lie did not kn ;w how, and, indeed, it would have b en ridiculous in so elderly a lover. But he made Patience feel grateful to Him for her father’s sake, and even a little for her own—though that was the same thing. She ha l an unconquerable dislike to enter the village, or even to go on the rarest errands to levs familiar Hun chester. And, whether he perceived this dislike or not, Enoch never went anywhere without un k rtak ng her business as well av his own. Then her father was beginning to want more company, nosv that h ; worki and less than ever, if that could bo; and Enoch, atter such expedit ons, or in t ie long Sunday afternoons, would drop in and listen while her father dil itod ou the glories of the hou-o of Blacklh rn. And never a quick or impat eat word, though often he had to put up w th one, did he say. For if a creditor chose to forget, or seem to forget, a debt, Tom Blackthorn was not the man to keep it in his memory. But at last, when this sort of thing had gone on for what Enoch regarded as a reaso lablo time, ho made a jour ney to Loudon, with the result that ho was missed, and was welcome back again. And this tim *he and and not make his original mistake of seeing the father first and the girl second. It was no doubt more by good luck .than by good management that he found h *r clone in the best parlor, where she sat seldom; but then fortune has two favorites tho e who trust her altogether and those who tru-t her never at a 1. Ln> h Marrish was one of tho latter kind. “Miss Patience,” said lie, “I’ve Lear' some ill news.” She could not help her heart beating: absurd as it was 1 1 think she would ever hoar news, good or ill, of Stcj bn again. “You know your father is in money trouble? No? Hois, then. Don’t you remembor that debt which was to have bee i paid off? Well—” “That was settled!” “Ah—l wish it were. It wam't, you pee. And the mortgagee, he’s to foreclose.” She shook her hral, but looked alarmed. “Foreclose?” pro BE CONTINUED.] —Are you enriching yourself eagerly with knowle 'g<*, experience, influence, wealth, that you may pour all tlie.se 'things out upon a world that calls for you as Macedonia called for PuuL Christian Union. A Certain Cure for Catarrh. Trim he, Tenn., Feb. 28, 1887. Gentlemen —For seven years 1 have had catarrh, Three years of that time I was unable to work. I nfortunately, early in my affliction my breath bivanie very offensive. For seven years l could smell•lothing. and 1 had no taste. How offensive my breath was all those seven years. I need not tell. What were my sufferings of mind at not being able to taste or smell anything, can be easily imagined. I was treated by physicians all during that time, and 1 tried numer ous medicines advertised. 1 bought one course of treatment I saw advertised for $lO that was not worth five cents. Last* spring a year ago a pamphlet from the Swift Specific Company came under my notice, and 1 determined to try the Spe cific. Fourteen small bottles completely cured me that spring and summer. Worked in the crop for the first time in four years, and 1 have been working right along since without having the slightest return of catarrh. The won derful cure of me has been the means of bringing S. S. S. to the successful notice of many neighbors. 1 regard it as a wonderful blood purifier, and a certain cure of catarrh when given a fair trial. Yours truly, Sam. A. Coles.
