HER FAITH HELD EAST.
f
o
"I suppose,” said the 'genial and
sprightly old lady from Ohio, “that I
have to my credit one of the most
unique of war experiences. The man
who is now my husband was colonel
of an lowa regiment, having gone
from the east to gain a foothold in
what was then a comparatively new
state. It is a matter of record that
he commanded one of the finest
bodies of sharpshooters that ever did
service, and the gallant Gen. Lyon,
under whom they first fought, paid
them the compliment of saying that
he regarded them as invincible against
twice their numbers. The colonel
himself was more than six feet and
every man under him met the require
ments of Frederick the Great when
he recruited his famous generaders.
"1 was bethrothed to the colonel
and though back in Ohio, I followed
every movement of the regiment as
closely as if I were with it. One
evening we received the news of that
terrific battle at Pleasant Mill and
two days later came a letter from the
lieutenant-colonel telling me that the
colonel had been killed while making
a last stand against overwhelming
odds with revolver and sword. There
is consolation in the thought that a
man you love has given his life for
his country, fighting to the death for
a vindication of his principles, but
even that balm cannot assuage the
sorrow of a heart that has lost what
was dearer than all else.
“And I had to endure far more
than the loss of a promised husband
who was dearer to me than life itself.
Within a month there was a woman
from lowa at the home of the colon
el's parents claiming to have been his
promised bride and showing a will in
which she was made heir to everything
he possessed. For the property j
cared nothing, but there was the bit
terness of death in the thought that
suspicion should be cast upon his
loyalty and honor. Not for a moment
did I entertain the thought that he
had been untrue, for that would have
been to surrender the one joy left me.
When I felt equhl to it I went to see
her. She was brilliantly beautiful,
and, in my prejudiced judgement,
had a fascination that never goes with
saintliness. I could have carried
through the interview with patience
and decorum had she not dared to
condole with me and attack the char
acter of the colonel as a man unwor
thy the love of either of us. I flew to
his defense in a wav that at least at
tested the sincerity of my love. In
my anger I denounced her as an im
poster, designing, unprincipled and
wicked.
“Her answer was a heartless laugh
and a production of the will. As far
as I could judge it was in his hand
writing and had been duly probated,
and yet I was as certain as of my own
existence that he had loved only me
and that this creature was utterly un
worthy of him.
“You remember Morgan's raid into
Ohio. It was a time of the wildest
excitement, bringing war to our very
doors and giving us a conception of
its horrors such as we could never
gain except by actual contact. I
stood by when that bold raider went
through that laughable larce of sur
rendering to a township constable and
making terms that would have sent
him back unharmed to the south. I
even shook hands with the chivalrous
leader who told me pleasantly how
delighted he was that my lint and
medicines were not required. I have
yet a button from his coat, for young
women were just as anxious for sou
venirs then as now- While we were
talking one of his officers rode up and
I recognized in him the brother of an
old schoolmate whom I had visited in
Kentucky before the war. He had
been a friend of the colonel's and
asked me when I last heard from him.
My response was a burst of tears and
then 1 told him the sad story.
“ ‘He was not killed,’ he hurriedly
assured me. ‘I myself helped to car
ry him from the field; he recovered in
the hospital and is yet a prisoner of
war. He was an invalid for some
eighteen months and I know that he
was sent to Andersonville some six
months ago.’
“I believe that I should have died
had this hope proved a false one, but
I myself went to Washington and I
had no sooner told my story to Presi
dent Lincoln than he moved in the
matter and when I returned home the
colonel, a mere shadow of his former
self, was with me. I never intimated
to him that there was a woman claim
ing to nave supplanted me in his af
fections, hut the night of our return
she went away. She surrendered all
the colonel’s property to the control
of the court and disappeared so com
pletely that all effort to trace her was
ineffectual. This diamond ring was
sent me twenty years ago from New
Orleans and I am happy in the be
lief that she sent it as a peace offering
and a token of repentance. As for
the colonel, he had never seen her
and does not know to this day wheth
er she was a forger or employed one
to draft the will. We had a boy be
fore Santiago, and he, the record
tells, was worthy of his soldier father.”

To Keep Sweet Potatoes.
Many take unnecessary pains.
Some put them in hills and leave the
top of the hills open to let the air
pass oil, but this is not necessary. I
never lose any potatoes if they are in
good order when I dig them. It's
no difference about the potatoes be
ing dry when put up, for they go
through a sweat anyway. 1 have put
them up in lulls when they were wet
with rain and have never lost any po
tatoes. The place to keep potatoes
well is in the earth. Mills are much
better than cellars and boxes. W hat
causes potatoes to rot is having them
alternately warm and cold. Keep
the potatoes at one temperature all
the time and they will always keep
when covered up with earth. Some
growers in the south put only five or
six inches of dirt on their hills. This
is a bad plan, as we have some warm
spells and the potatoes get warm from
the heat of the sun, and then perhaps
it turns cold and they get chilled.
This getting alternately cold and
warm rots them. When the potatoes
are dug in the fall, put them up at
once in hills of twenty-five or thirty
bushels each. Cover with straw and
then set up around the hills boards
two or three feet long—this leaves
them in the shape of a pyramid—then
put at least one foot of dirt on the
boards, more is better, and the pota
toes will neither get warm nor cold
during the winter, and in the spring
you will not have two dozen rotten
potatoes to the hill.
An Uncertain Dlinoic.
There is no disease more uncertain in its
nature than dyspepsia. Physicians say that
the symptoms of no two cases agree. Jt is
therefore most difficult to make a correct
diagnosis. No matter how severe, or under
whatdisguiscdvspepsia attacks yon. Browns’
Iron Hitters will cure it. Invaluable in all
liseases of the stomach, blood and nerves.

The Blessing of Work.
Thank God every morning when
you get up that you have something
to do that day which must be done,
whether you like it or not. Being
forced to work and forced to do your
best, will breed in you temperance,
self-control, diligence, strength of will,
content and a hundred virtues which
the idle will never know.—Charles

Four Toasts.
A story is told that, recently in Los
Angles, six prominent gentlemen of
foreign birth chanced to meet. A
Russian, a Turk, a Frenchman, an
American, and an Englishman. The
gentlemen became bosom friends and
finally a champagne supper was pro
posed at which each gentleman, to be
in keeping with the times, was to give
a toast to his native country. The
one giving the best toast to be at no
expense of the menu.
Here are the toasts given :
The Russian. Here's to the stars
and bars of Russia that were never
pulled down.
The Turk. Here’s to the Moors
of Turkey whose wings were never
clipped.
The Frenchman. Here’s to the
cock of France whose feathers were
never picked.
The American. Here's to the
stars and stripes of the United States
whose defenders were never licked.
The Englishman. Here’s to the
Ramping, Roaring Lion of Great
Brittain that tore down the stars and
bars of Russia, clipped the wings of
Turkey, picked the feathers ofl the
cock of France and ran like h—l from
the stars and stripes of the United
States of America.

LOVE’S LABOR
o
BY MAURICE WORTHINGTON.
c
Zv tfES, that is a picture of the
•) only woman 1 ever loved.
You'll find her name on the
IRiy.-a) back Lillian Brunswick.
There is a nice little story l might
tell you of my love affair with her,
which goes to prove that 1 am an
idiot and that absent mindedness is
not a faculty to be cultivated. It
happened sometime ago, and I h ive
never told a soul what a fool I made
of myself, but since I can smile a lit
tle over it now. I may as well let you
in on the smile if you will keep it
quiet.
You see, it was my first reai afiair
and 1 was seized with an all absorb
ing passion. Lillian was the most
charming, most adorable—adjectives
stacked mountains high could not
adequately describe her. 1 had suc
ceeded so far in my wooing as to be
able to tell her that I loved her. This
1 did by note because I hadn't nerve
enough to do it verbally. 1 was call
ed out of town on business to be ab
sent a week or so, and, being unable
to be away from her for that length of
time without the consolation ofknpw
ing my fate, I wrote on the eve of my
departure an eloquent and passionate
note, declaring my inability to drag
myself through a proposed vale of
tears without the love of my Lillian.
That evening I went over to the
Comstock to dinner, and mailed the
note on the way, carrying it to the
post box in the outside pocket ot my
top-coat, which 1 admit was a very
careless thing to do. Well, I left
town early the next morning, and dur
ing the week I was absent from the
city 1 heard not a word from Lillian.
1 plunged into the depths of dispair.
i contemplated suicide, blit instead
followed the example of a certain
gentlemen into whose book 1 have
glanced and wrote the Poems of a
Jilted I .over—elegies, epitaphs and
other such gloomy rot. I was in a
horrible state. At the end of the week
1 returned home with hollow eyes,
disheveled hair and all the outward
appearance of a discarded suitor. I
went to my rooms and got my mail.
The only two communications <>l in
terest were, first, an invitation to
dinner from Lillian for the previous
Friday, and, a second note from Lil
lian dated the Saturday following and
expressing surprise at my non appear
ance. Why had I been so rude ?
Please explain. That was a little
more than I could do for myself. She
had very evidently not received the
note I had written. 1 am not much
given to forgetting to post letters and
1 had mailed this one. At any rate I
1 should have, not only to make apolo
igies, but to propose all over again. I
decided this time I would not write
but would go to her.
1 went that very evening but the
house was wrapped in utter darkness,
j and there was no response to my vio
lent ringing of the bell. Thinking
the whole family had gone out for the
evening, 1 returned home, determined
to lose no time, and to call again
early the next morning. 1 passed an
almost sleepless night, and set out
again in the morning at the risk of
catching Lillian at breakfast. But 1
was desperate. To my dismay not a
soul could I find about the premises.
I was about to give up in dispair when
I discovered the man who tends the
lawn. He informed me that Mrs.
Brunswick and Lillian had left sud
denly for New York in response to a
telegram from Mr. Brunswick, who
was there at the time, and had left no
! address to which their mail should be
I forwarded. They would be gone a
j fortnight, he said.
Imagine my plight! In disgrace
with Lillian and no way to explain
j matters, no way to communicate with
j her. YVhat might not happen before
she returned ? Then there was the
mystery of my letter still unsolved. If
I had been in dispair before, where
was I now ? I literally raved and
tore my hair. Only my business du
ties kept me sane, and it is a miracle
how I lived through those awful two
weeks. \ had to have a valet stand
, guard and keep me from making
away with myself.
Well, to cut it. short, on the very
day that I expected the long lost
, Lillian to return, 1 met an old friend
from New York. I rushed up to him
thinking he might have some news of
her. He had. Almost immediately
he said:
“Have you heard of Miss Bruns
wick's engagement ?”
“No,” I gasped, “to—to whom?”
“Why, Torn Baldwin, that old ad
rnircr of hers. You know she’s in
New York now. She’s going to stay
a mouth longer ”
I must have looked as weak as I
felt, for he insisted on my taking a
bracer, and then ran off to transact
some business. 1 immediately wrote
Torn a short note of congratulation,
and stepped over to the postoffice to
get a stamp. Waiting lor my turn,
my eye fell on that unusually unin
teresting collection of letters held for
postage, incomplete addresses, etc.
One envelope kitracted my attention
and I went nearer. I rubbed my
eyes to make sure that I was not the
victim of a hallucination. Suddenly
lhe truth dawned on me, and I called
the clerk and claimed the letter.
You see, I had mailed it after all,
aud there it was in my large hand for
everybody to see:
“My dear l.illian,
City.
That is the reason I am still a
bachelor, and 1 flatter myself that it
is also tiie reason that she is Mrs.
Tom Baldwin.
