HOPE.
New York Ledger.
Hope comes to all and with her cherry I
smile
Eids us look upward to the faroff
hills
Where the light lingers yet, and for
awhile
Lay down the burden of our mortal
ills.
Hope wipes the sweat from the tired
laborer’s brow,
Bringing to mind the happy rest of
home;
Hope cheers the farmer following the
plow
With the fair vision of increase to
come.
To fainting traveler in the desert vast
Hope shows the gushing fountain
and the palm;
To the worn sailor on the swaying
mast,
The green fields and the harbor’s
smiling calm.
With the late student hope her vigil
keeps,
Still whispering of honors to be won;
Hope fires, the soldier’s heart amid red
heaps
With pledge of victory ere the day be
done.
Hope is our Inspiration and our guide.
Solace in trouble and support in
strife;
’Tis the soul’s anchor in time’s rolling
tide,
Nurse to the sick and to the dying
life. ■
THE INSOMNIA"CLUB.
Lafayette Call.
I could see the back of her head and
her shoulder and one arm, which were
bare to the elbow and looked very
■white in the moonlight. She was sit
ting in a window and I in the next one,
but she was unaware of my presence.
Should I speak to her? Our acquaint
ance was really very slight. True, we
had lived in the same house for nearly
a year, but ft was a lodginghouse, and
the inhabitants strayed out into the
neighborhood for their sustenance, thus
lacking the common sorrow of a board
inghouse table to draw them together.
Miss Caverly and I exchanged greet
ings when we met at the door or in the
halls, but that hardly justified me in
opening a conversation from my win
dow to hers at 1 o’clock in the morning.
Yet, I wanted to do it.
While I was debating the question
the lady was leaning far out from her
lofty perch—it was the top story—and
gazing upon the moon.
“Have a care, Miss Caverly.” said I,
“or you’ll fall out of the window.”
Nothing could have been more likely
to precipitate such a catastrophe than
my sudden and startling remark, but
modern chivalrous men will put a lady
Sn any amount of inconvenience for the
sake of seeming to perform a service
to her. However, in this instance no
harm came of it. The lady turned about
hastily, but without alarm.
“What," she cried, “another victim
of insomnia?”
Naw, as a matter of fact, I had just
come in and had made no attempt to
sleep, but I could not tell 'her that. It
would have spoiled a conversation. Bo
I said that sleep refused to visit my
pillow.
“Sleeplessness is very distressing,”
she said, with the air of one who had
suffered much.
I suggested that the night was too
hot for sleep, but she averred that she
did not mind hot weather. 1 might
have had a lot of fun trying to find out
what demon of the mind was robbing
this Innocent child of her slumber, but
a knock at my door interrupted me.
The visitor was Hallett Graves, anoth.
es denizen of the top floor, and he had
come to borrow matches. Graves was
■likely to borrow anything at any hour
from any person and equally ready to
lend.
He said that he had given up trying
to sleep and was going for a walk with
Mr. and Mrs. Gale—also top floor peo
ple—who were in the same difficulty.
“That accounts for us all,” said I,
and then I informed Miss Caverly of
the facts and asked if she would try
the effect of a midnight stroll with
Mrs. Gale for a chaperon.
She agreed readily and in a few min
utes we were all in the hall, which was
hotter than an oven. I expressed the
belief that the street wouldn’t be much
cooler, and then some one suggested
going to the roof.
“It's no good, said Graves; “but I’ll
tell you what me might do. There’s a
fire escape balcony just outside my
window, and half a dozen steps lead
up from it to the roof of the next house.
That’s a fine place 'to sit. What do you
say?” x
It looked a good deal like burglary,
and the ladies were timid, but the hall
was too hot to permit of long argu
ment, and very soon we fled to our
neighbor’s roof.
At first we were afraid to speak
above a whisper and the creaking of a
metal plate on the roof sounded like
heavy artillery, but as the minutes
passed and nothing happened we grew
bolder. We brought some chairs from
our rooms and made ourselves exceed- I
ingly comfortable. By and by we even
ventured to uplift our voices, very soft
ly, in an old familiar chorus, a melan
choly strain, that seemed to make all
of us very blue.
When the song was ended Gale,
whom I had long suspected of being a
hypochrondriac, began to tell us how
much he suffered from insomnia and to
describe the ineffectual attempts he
had made in the last four or five years
to bring sleep to his pillow. It appear
ed also that Graves, who was a healthy
looking young Englishman, had had
only a wink or two of sleep since the
first of the year. He admitted that he
was in love, but doubted if that ac
counted for the phenomenon. As’’ for
Mrs. Gale, she simply could not sleep
at all. She believed that the locality
was unhealthful and Intimated that
Fifth avenue and its vicinity, especial
ly if one owned a residence there,
would probably solve the problem of
slumber.
Now, as a matter of fact, I slept bet
ter than the average of my species, but
I have a natural disinclination to ap
pear inexperienced in matters that are
under discussion in a general company,
so I told a few fanciful yams that put
me within the pale of sympathy, and I
was vgry much gratified to observe that
they impressed Miss Caverly.
This young woman, whose beauty as
she sat there in the moonlight I then |
appreciated for the first time, was the

| only one of us to exhibit any reticence. j
I This circumstance led me to the con- :
I elusion that she was the only one who •
: really knew what insomnia was and I
felt a strong curiosity regarding her
' case. She seemed to be in good health
1 and I could not believe that the child
like innocence of her face was a mask
| for any weighty secret, much less for
; any deep regret. It was an interesting
problem.
We sat on that roof until 4 o’clock in
the morning. I do not know how the
others fared during the remainder of
' the night; but, as for me. I slept like
I a dead man and when the servant
• waked me as usual at S o’clock I
threatened to shoot him.
However,, when the Insomnia club,
i as Graves had named it. drifted into a
! meeting on the following midnight I
’ was quite ready to take my place.
They elected me president of the club
and then I had to keep awake if it
killed me.
Yet I am free to confess that if the
tender sentiments with which I was
beginning to regard Frances Caverly
had been lacking I could never have
kept awake during that session.
I I A whisper of our doing got abroad in
. Ithe house and for the third meeting we
had guests—a young man and two
young women from the second floor.
They expressed a great enthusiasm for
'the club, but they were not on hand for
‘he fourth session. Instead they retired
t 8.30. presumably to make up for lost
•ep, as I was informed by Mrs. Gale,
ho had a woman's faculty for know
, g all about everything else in the
jouse.
; For the fourth meeting I fortified my
■ ' soul with black coffee at dinner and
i strong cigars in the course of the
. evening. I had begun to realize that
the club would he the ruin of my health
. ' if it continued to flourish, and yet I
. j was willing to make e*en that sacrifice
i j for the sake of those delightful hours
. ■ with Frances Caverly.
I couldn't get any other chance to see
i her. She 'taught a summer school and
, : spent her evenings in study that the
. work required, a most laborious life.
I How she could bear it without sleep by
night was a problem that begun to en
gage my serious attention. On the oc
’ casion of the club’s fifth meeting I sug
r gested to her about 2 o’clock in the
( morning that she ought to retire,
. speaking of her health in most solicit
; ous terms.
“I couldn’t sleep anyway,” said she:
' “I might be better here where I can
enjoy myself.”
’ She laughed nervously as she spoke
‘ and her manner made me even more
anxious about her than I had been be
-1 fore. Though I was deeply sensible of
the obligations of delicacy I could not
- help regarding it as my duty to offer
' some advice and aid, but I couldn’t do
t it without knowing what was the mat
’ ter. She did not resent such efforts as
’ I made to solve the problem, yet she
would tell me no more than that there
was a secret at the bottom of it. What
I that secret could be I was unable to
guess.
> I felt very confident, however, that
t she would reveal it to me if I could get
a chance to talk with her alone, but
. the Insomnia club did not provide that
: opportunity. Mrs. Gale was the most
t efficient chaperon that it was ever my
. ill luck to encounter. She would not
. have me lead Miss Caverly Into any
I nook or corner for a tete-a-tete.
; Every New Yorker must remember
• the extraordinay succession of hot and
, cloudless days, with nights of breath
less calm, that made this particular
: September a. meteorological phenome
( non. My recollection does not supply
me with a time when the Insomnia
club could have met for so many con
secutive nights. In a whole week we
! did not miss one and It was upon the
. eighth night that the incident hap
, pened which brought affairs to a cli
max.
The meeting was proceeding as usual.
. There was one guest, a young lady, to
! whom Graves was devoting himself
’ with.as much assiduity as the vigilance
' of Mrs. Gale would permit. Miss Cav
erly and I were sitting on the edge of
! the hatch that covered the stairway
leading up from the garret.
Suddenly I felt it tremble under us. I
thought at first that it was giving way.
Then I heard the rumble of a human
i voice below. We all heard it and the
Insomnia club was In a panic.
"Hold the villain down," cried Graves,
and, gathering the belongings of the
club with wonderful celerity he hurled
! them upon the fire escape balcony.
'Thither the Gales and the guests had
already fled. •
“Go it, Graves,” said I, “we’ll follow’.”
Miss Caverly had remained loyally
by my side.
“We ll never get to that balcony af
' ter we let go of this thing,” she whis
jpered; “we'll be discovered.”
“Run for it now,” I replied; “I’ll take
my chances.” 1
“I will do no such thing,” she re-’ ,
turned with energy.
"Then we'll both try a run for that .
chimney,”. I whispered. “Now.”
We released the hatch and fled on
tiptoe for the shelter I had indicated. 1
It was lucky that we didn’t try to go 1
farther, for within three seconds that I
hatch rose into the air as if a bomb 1
had exploded under it.
A head appeared and a voice said, -
“Ach, Gut.” j
A man climbed out upon the roof.' >
He was of ample proportions and of
German type so pronounced as to be
unmistakable even in the faint light of
a waning moon. He brought a camp
chair and a huge pipe with him and
immediately proceeded to make him
self comfortable.
Miss Caverly and I were prisoners. ■
“It is perfectly dreadful,” she whis- ,
pered.
“It is the first chance I have ever nad
to say a word to you al . ’ I replied;
“thank heavens we are now beyond the
reach of chaperons.”
And I immediately began to attack ,
the secret of that trouble which was
the root of her extraordinary sleepless-
I ness. It was necessary to show at the'
(outset that my interest in her was deep ■
I and sincere, and so far as the secret j
;was concerned I did not advance be- i
yond that point. When I had finished
proving to her that her welfare was F
my dearest concern in the world her |
head was on my shoulder. Tnen our I
lips touched and I forgot that there had 8
ever been a secret.
The German went to sleep at 3.45
and we crept by him unobserved. The
other insomniacs were anxiously await
ing us. We all agreed that this inci
dent dissolved the club and we parted

tor the night with expressions of deep
sorrow and regret.
For my own part, aside from the
natural joy which, filled my soul, I was
greatly relieved by the thought of the
club’s demise. I owed that German a
double debt of gratitude. No ' longer
would it be necessary for me to steep
myself in black coffee. A fellow can
see the girl that ho is engaged to with
out so much trouble.
That very morning before day had
fully dawned I threw a small coffeepot
out of my window and laid aside a
brown paper bag with what remained
of tny store of coffee for my landlady.
When I came out into the hall the
next morning Frances was just ahead
of me. I called to her and she turned
about. I tried to take both her hands
but she held one of them behind her,
concealing something.
"It's nothing at all,” she said; “only
a little coffee I happened to have. I
was going to give it away.”
"And is that the awful secret ,£hat
drove sleep from your pillow'?” X de
manded.
“Yes,” she said; “I might as well,con
fess. I am really a sound sleeper, but
I liked the club. It gave me the chance
of seeing— some—one—I—I cared for.
You understand?”
For answer I took a brown paper bag
of coffee from, the side pocket of my
coat.
RELIEF FROM PAIN.
Women Everywhere Express their
Gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham.
Hr». T. A. WALDEN, Olbson, Oa., writes:
“Dear Mbs. Pinkiiaa: —Before tak
ing your medicine, life was a burden
to me. I never saw a well day. At
my monthly period I suffered untold
misery, and a great deal of the time I
was troubled with a severe pain in my
side. Before finishing the first bottle
of your Vegetable Compound I could
tell it was doing me good. I continued
its use, also used the Liver Pills and
Sanative Wash, and have been greatly
helped. I would like to have you use
my letter for the benefit of others.”
nrs. FLORENCE A. WOLFE, gig Hulberry
St., Lancaster, Ohio, writes:
“ Deah Mbs. Pinkham:—For two
years I was troubled with what the
local physicians told me was inflamma
tion of the womb. Every month I suf
fered terribly. I had taken enough
medicine from the doctors to cure any
one, but obtained relief for a short
time only. At last I concluded to write
to you in regard to my case, and can
say that by following your advice I am
now pefectly well.”
firs. W. R. BATES, flansfleld, La., writes:
“ Before writing to you I suffered
dreadfully from painful menstrua
tion, leucorrhoea and sore feeling in
the lower part of the bowels. Now my
friends, want to know what makes me
look so well. Ido not hesitate one min
ute in telling them what has brought
about this great change. I cannot
praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound enough. It is the greatest
remedy of tLe aga.”
