Dr. Arnold had come in from his professional rounds, and stood m his office shaking oil the snow trotu hisclothes. and rubbingsome warmth into his chilled fingers. A handsome man, tall, well-featured, aud with a pleasant expression, genial, yet earn est. A man nearing forty, with full beard, dark, expressive eyes, and the muntier of a gentleman. There was a smile on his lips as at last ho seated himself before his office table, and took one letter out from a small pile. r The handwriting was that of Mar garet Bacroft, Di. Arnold’s promised wife. Sho was much youmrer than he was, only two-and-tweiity, but a woman in the fullest, sweetest read ing of tho word. She had nerer beeu girlish, as mauy are, because from her childhood she had been the companion of a widowed father, who had delighted in training her intel lect beyond that of most feminine minds. Without any companions of her own age, she hud grown up amongst her father's friends, until hot* aunt, Mrs. Preston, suddenly pounced upon her, and introduced her ihto society. It was at Mrs. Preston’s that Dr. Arnold, iu professional attendance upon thut lady, first met Margaiet, and mutual respect became warm friendship, and later, deep love; anil Margaret only waited until her firsi year of mourning for her father should pass to have the wodding. Ho knew she had hcen ail winter preparing for the marriage in tjie spring; he knew, that strong as his love was, it had won a full return. There hud been no cloud upou h.is perfect happiness on the bitter snowy Murch evening, when, with, smiling lips and bright eyes, he opened the little note, that seemed, a few mo ments] later, to have held his death- warrant. It was a brief note, dated: “Clifton Square, March 3rd. “My Darling 1 My Darling! You will think hard of me, and 1 must bear it. 1 have heard to-ilaj what must sopuruce you and me. 1 cannot be your wife, and I cannot bear the agony .of a parting inter view. I love you, with ail my heart I love you, uud I will be faithful to my love us long as I live. Yon will not try to see me, dearest, because you cannot change my 'resolution, and it would ho torture only to both of us. I will hot insult you or your lovu by believing you will soon for get me, but my sincere and earnest prayer wilt be that in time another, more worthy, may take in your heart the place of MarGauet Bancroft.” For a time the man was simply stunned. The blow was so - unex pected that he was stupefied. The first shook oVer, he determin ed to obey strictly the appeal iu the note, until Margaret recalled him. She must recall him! . It was incred ible that she really means this to be a 8nul dismissal! Sumo girlish cap- price, some false report had influen ced her, and she had written under a hasty impulse she would soon re gret. And then there rose before his mental vision the grave, calm face of his betrothed, with the deep, dark eyes, the sweet, firmly folded lips, the gentle, womanly expression. Was this a woman to be governed by girlish whim or a false report? Every hour he had spent with her protested agaiust such a supposi tion. It was well that a “call” roused the doctor and auother followed, thrusting his grief aid perplexity in to the buck ground whilo his skill and interest were given to his work. Days followed, full in every hour of duty, but twice lie called at Clif ton Square, and was informed that the ladies were not at home. He wrote a long eloquent protest, and received a sad little- note—a repeti tion of the first Ofte—imploring l»i»n to accept tho decision as final. Two weeks later ho hud put his practice into another physician’s hands, and was ciossitig tho ocean. He hud spent some years of his boy hood and early manhood abroad, studying in Gortnau atid Fronoh col leges, and his new misery seemed to him unbearable in the old routine of 1 ife. Change ro igh t bri ng rest, or new sceues briug forgetful boss of the old. So he rushed about Europe, never stopping long v in one place, uii- til, returning to Paris, ho took up a -course of surgical experiments under an eminent specialist, and oncomore iiis profession became his ruling passion, and he fouud the old love of his life-work reviving in heart and brain. He came home in two years aud resumed his old place, welcom ed gladly by his old friends. He heard nothing of Clifton Square for several weeks, and a dogged pride he cherished prevented his cull- '»g- It was in tho early fall that he was most unexpectedly culled upon for help in an operation by a fellow- practitioner. The physician who was to have assisted Dr. G had been taken ill, and a hurried note- begged Dr. Arnold to take his place. He was in Dr. G ’s carriage be fore he knew anything of tho “case” before thorn. Then, like a umn nerving hiinse}f to bear whatever might come, he listened to Dr. G-—•. “Breust cancer—the second re moval,” said the doctor, and des cribed the peculiarities of the ease, anfi then: “The patient is Miss Margaret Bancroft. Sho came to me two years ago laat March, and 1 told her frankly what the disease was. She was not a woman to be easily deceived, and when she told me her mother and grandmother had both died of cancer, I saw she would know the truth.” It seemed to Dr. Arnold as if he saw dancing before his eyes the date of the note of dismissal,. and the words. “I have lieurd to-day what must separate you ami me.” A wild impulse to refuse to accom pany Dr. G to plead illness, want of time, anything, to escapo, seized Dr. Arnold, but he was. already at the door, and he nerved himself to meet tliO Grdehl. ' ' “It may bo better,” Dr. G suggested, “not to toll JIIjbb. B,U1 - orofi of any chaffge. " The nurse will administer the ether, aud I will speakjto-you when she is ready for us.” How the next hour passed Dr. Arnold could scarcely have told, but he know too well his duty in the cuso to let feeling take control of liim for one instant. Calmly, bravely, without flinching, he took his place, not letting the wnitu, wasted face unnerve him for a mo ment, stifling his agony with an iron will until all was over and he could re»*ro to an adjoining room. There with liis hands over his whito, quiv ering face, he prayed for another hour of strength. He did not need a ward from Dr. G or the sad look of the nurse* to tell him that but a little moment of time remain ed to bid farewell for life to his dar ling. Ho had spoken to Mrs. Preston, who wits sobbing in the room where he entered it, and she had gone to ncr niece’s room, to prepare her to see him. It seem to him as if the whole day must have passed away, when Mrs. Preston quietly enter- ed. “She will sec you,” sho whisper ed. And alone lie returned to the room where Margaret lay, white, exhaust ed, dying. “You know- now,” she said faint ly. “You will forgive mo.” “But why have you kept it from me?” ho asked, taking her little cold hand into hilown. “Oil, my dar ling, who could have loved aud tended you iu your suffering as I won u r “Yes,” she said, “yon would have. been ray loving, tender nurse, and that wus why I would not toll you. If you had guossed the truth, you would have married me, to destroy all home comfort, to blight your life with a perpetual sorrow, ,to take a burden of care and anxiety that would unfit you for alFelse. I could not know, dear, that the end would Gome so soon, and I looked forward to years of suffering,' of sinking gradually info the grave, after long mon ths of misery, And I loved you too well to let you share suoh a life. You will believe it was all love that guided me?” How could he again reproach her! Thy utter-saorifioe, the hoble, un selfish love that had spared her, was not u cause for bhune, and he know his love was only deeper and strong er in his heart, no‘w that ho under stood Margaret’s motives. . “Is it wioked,” she said, in a faint low voice, “to be all yours for this hour? I took the holy cotnmuniou this morning; I have said farewoll to my aunt. I thought this last hour would be my prayer for rest, but when I know you had been with me, waiting to seo mo, my. love. I had thought dead lived so strongly in my heart, I could not send you away Oh, my love, my love< My Heaven ly Father is good to mo, and lets me dio in your arms.” False words of hope were vain und Di. Arnold did not mock Marguret by speaking them. She was sinking fast. Broken words of prayer, of lovo, passed her lips, and she smiled when tho dootor put stimulants in her mouth, or uttered her position. It was but a brief watch. The faint pulse grew Blower and weaker, the broken Words less frequent, the fail ing breath shorter, till she fixed her eyes upon her lover’s face in a long gaze, and tho Juttering.breath ceased. Gently ho put her down and left her, meeting no one us lie- left the house, and finding his way by blind, dumb instinct to his own room. In his wide' practice, his uuiviorsul benevolence, his life ofuctivo, self- sacrificing duty, Dr. Arnold stands high in iho love and respect of all who know him. Devoted to his profession his services are given free ly to thoso who can never offer any compensation, and his money finds unrny'srvOTmgg of usef it I ness. But he lives alone. No other face will ever smile where lie 'Tiiid hopod Margaret’s would welcome him home ho other lips will ever greet.him ,«s Margaret’s would have done hod she been his wife. The one love of his life will be strong till death, and his heart lies buried under tho marble cross, marked “Margaret,” in the cemetery.—-Anna Shields, in N, Y. Ledger. . • 7 They Quit* Wluklitg. Among the passengers who board ed the Eastboimd train at Holly, the other day, were a bride and groom of tho regular tiolly-hock order. Al though the cur was full of oassehgers the pair begafi Tolqeeeze hands and hug as soon rs they wero seated, This of course 1 attracted attention, und pretty soon everybody was nod ding and winking, a.id several per sons so far forgot themselves as to laugh outright. By-and-by the broad- shouldered and red-handed groom became aware of the fact that he was being ridiculed, and he unlinked himself to the height of six feet, looked up and dowu tho aisle, and suid: .?/ “Thero seems to bo considerable nodding and Winking arouud here because I am hugging the girl who was married to me at seven o’clock this morning. If the Miles of this railroad forbid a man from Ituggiug his wife after tie's paid full fare,then I’m going to qiiit; but if the rules don’t, and tiift winking and blinking isn’t bitten short off when we pass the next mile post, I’m going to be gin on the trout seats and create a rising market for false teeth and crutches!” Is there were any more wipks And- blinks in that car, the groom didn’t catch ’em at ic. Tho Outlet of Oeuius. CulcAgo Curreut. If we shonld ask an Amercan to name a product of wood or woolen, cotton or iron, steal or meuil, that is not in urgeut need of a market, he would be far more puzzled than if called on to invent a new pleas* uro. The growth of genus in this era is so rapid that it stands as a rival of all ages—peerless and aloue. In comparison with any other era we ore all giants, musters, and million aires. it is for this very reason that genius outruns and outreaoheB the de mand for its produotB. Had uo one invented the improved methods of weaving, that" bratioh ulone would consume labor. If the shoes wo weur wero made by tho old slow process, there would be another opening A>r thousands unemployed. Had the steel meu remained inaotivo, hand labor would bo hammering a- way at wliat tho forges now make as by instinct. The planers have stolen the trade of the carpenters. The turning lathes liuvo driven out the hand laborors. The teams are less needed since steam does the most hauling. Harvest bauds are at a discount, and tho wood ohopper’s oeou putioh is su rely gono. The mystery and middle problem that now'turns to genius for solution is: Where is the outlot for oar ready-made articles? Where is the market for wagons, oarriuges and implements? Where is the purchaser for surplus olothes and grain? The man that oan answer those ques tions is a benefactor. If we turn our eyes oust ward there is a crowded wharf from Liverpool, London, Glas gow and every foroign port. Not even the recent war furnishes the hope plan outlet. If we look to the west the povory of early settlers— many of them fresh • from other shores—prevents their becoming ready consumers, and tho only di reotjon that looks at all promising is south und southwost, with a hope that in good time—or restored con fidence, which is the sumo difference, which is the same, differently stat ed—will increase the circulation of monoy and employ enough men to earn it, for they are the men who spend most liberally and consume most generously. If a single glance will cover it, aud a single sentence express it, there is an oarly day coming with no outlet to genius save through the mutual interchange of products in onr own county, and un educated belief that the wants of the laboring classes—long delayed by unsettled business—will demand tho greater portion of all surplus products. It is not by decrying cor porations, nor promoting strikes, not by talking dynatnito. nor denounc ing imaginary wrongs,, but by one grand union of plans and purposes under a high resolve to restore con fidence, promote friendship with Mexico, Peru und the only hulf- buiit-up and half-supplied districts of tho Bontii and Southwest, thut the gonius of the North will find an outlet. J. W. Donovan. A Temperance Lecture. Ltary CourUr. A .Culljpuu county man, tho other day, wus moving from the upper edge of this county to Baker, and one of his mule* had been attacked with colio. The man was pretty full of “bug juice,” and in a maudlin Way endeavored to relieve tho mule’s sufferings. He hicthed up and start ed on his way, but before he got out of town the team came to a hault, and the old raultf laid down and died. Tho mun went to sleep in tho wagon, and was not aware of his loss tin Ml he hod awakened from his nap. lie was accompanied by his little son and an idiotic negro, and with one mule dead and the man drank, it was a helpless and interesting group. The Deadly Body Coat. Though the physioal vigor of Mr. Hendricks had been giving away be fore the advance of years, and ho was subject to frequent attacks of more or less severity, it would appear that tho shock which hastened his death may bo directly charged to what is known as a body coat, or more familiarly a claw hammer or swallow tail. He had put off heavy clothing for a dress suit to attend an evening re ception. The ohange gave him a cold and preoipitated his death. Many men who have passed the meridian of life contribute to their deaths in a similar way. A young and vigorous man may doff a heavy suit for a light one, spend the night in dancing and feasting and escape with a slight cold, or, at worst, a sharp attack of influenza, but old mon cannot afford to take such chances. Now and then a man comes along like Hannibal Hamlin, who can afford to treat snoh comforts aa socks, undershirts and overcoats with disdain, but the instances are rare. The demands of Washington so ciety are dangerous to our statesmen of advanced years. The winter climate of Washington is simply abominable. ^Vlien an old Congress man has sat in a close and unhealthy hall during the day, and then arrays himself in the garmonts of a young beau, and goes to the theater or re ception, he is taking very short ohances upon his life. Last winter so many men died from eolds contracted by standing uncovered at funerals in a freezing atmosphere, that it attracted atten tion and discussion. The death of Mr. Hondricks ought to help to abolish the body coat or to make it of suoh muteriul as would offer warmth and protection. At forty-Bix tho constitution of the average mitn begins to deterior ate. After tlmt period lio can not af ford to trifle 1 With his Imhits or health. The latter may bo preserved for yours by Keeping the body, especially the vital portionsof it, warm and well promoted from, draughts and olimatio changes. Muoh of fatal pleurisy aud pneu monia may bo justly charged to the account of the body coat. Tlie itonmuce of a Pauper. In Berlin for- many years past an old man with a noblo face and a snowy board has been consptoious around tho studios of all the well- known artist. Everybody knows the old man. He is a professional model. The most famous painters of the age have painted his face and form hundreds of times. ’ A short timo ago tho old man mar ried, and tho marringo was one of the maddest und most romantio on record. Although a pauper, this artist’s:model wus nobleman. He came from Hungary, and had a right to bear the title and namo of tho Baron de Petofy. A beautiful and wealthy young woman of tho middlo class found him out. She wanted to be a baroness, it was un easy matter to strike a bargain with the old man. Ho was to. marry the .young woman, give her his aristocratic name, uud then lived apurt from her and novor claimed her us his wife. In return !he was to receive three pairs of boots a year, and two pounds of coffee und four pounds of sugar a month. The contract was signed, the wedding took place, and iho pauper shuffled off to his garret with liis boots, coffee and: sugar, while the huroness drovu away in her glittering carriage. Tbo Baroness Petofy now reigns as a social slur in the European cap itals. People believed her to be a widow. The buion still |>oaos for tho Berlin artist. Whether he is proud of his beautiful wife or nor, nobody knows. For it chapter of every day life, this beatB the wildest fancies of the novelists. It is difflcult to believe tlmt it happened in Berlin. It is too Frenohy for anything.—Con* stiiution.
