THEY FET BY CHANCE, A Story of True Love. BY SIDNEY THORNE.

Emmet Weyland was a child of the sunny South. He was handsome and winning with a clear olive skin, bril- liant dark eyes, and an expressive mo- bile mouth. Lis lithe, graceful figure gave promise of great strength when fully developed ; for as yet he was a mere youth of eighteen, although within a few months of finishing his collegiate course. :

Daring his four years residence in the city of Alma Mater he had been in- troduced to many beautiful young ladies, some of them so brim-full of fun and romance that many a glance from their bright eyes had been aimed at him; but he seemed impervious to their attractions.

One morning, however, as he was walking hastily along, being a little later than usual, he saw a girl of such wonderful leveliness, that he almost in- voluntarily turned to obtain a second look at her.

The same feeling had evidently ac- tuated her, for she was looking back also, and their eyes met. derful depths of bewildering blue they were, that Emmet felt for 1 moment as though it might bea glimpse of Heav- en’s own azure; but the white lids dropped in confusion beneath his earn- est, admiring gaze, and in another mo- ment she entered a tiny cottage con- spicious among the row of similar ones for its exquisite neatness.

It was their first meeting but not their last. For a while it was by ac- cident that the pretty creature was either going to or from her humble home when it was the hour for the young student to pass that way; but after atime they became so accustomed to see each other, that one morning Emmet unconsciously lifted his hat as if to an acquaintance, and this saluta- tion was answered by a smile and a shy blush.

Then he spoke to her. She looked at him—her bright earnest eyes intent with an expression as though she was reading his very soul—then she laid a finger upon her delicately-curved coral- red lips, shook her head, and sighed.

It came to him then like a flash of sudden pain that this girl, with a face like Raphael’s Madonna, and a form as graceful in its airy lightness as a sculptured Diana, was doomed to per- petual silence. She was shut out from all sound of speech as effectually as though immured in a cave.

Emmet, when a child, had been often taken by his mother toan asylum for the deaf and dumb, where an aunt had been placed to acquire their pecul- iar language of signs. He had taken great pains to learn it at the time, and could carry on quite a conversation with his afflicted relative, and made himself so dear to her by his willing- ness to devote time to her entertain- ment, which children generally devote to their play, that she chose to make her home with his mother after leaving the asylum, and upon her death Emmet had been left heir to her large fortune.

This knowledge served him in good stead of speech now. It was beautiful to watch the changes which passed over the sensitive face, as he talked with her in dumb show. He even learned her simple history. ‘The only child of a widowed moiber, who earned their living by the needle. She was not born deaf, and had only lost her speech from forgeting, through deaf- ness, the sound of words, and from dis- liking to give utterance to even the shortest sentence because of feeling that it would be a shock to a sensitive ear to listen to a voice which could no longer be modulated to the proper pitch by the speaker.

All-had been eaused by scarlet fever.

Strange to say, this discovery, in- stead of destroying the girls attractions torsthe impressible young man, forged

another link in his fancy for her, and »

it grew at last to be a subject of re- matk in the place, and at last slander, With its venomous tongue, assailed poor Flora, and people began to look ask- ance at her.

The pretty creature had never ex- perienced cold looks and slights before, and, though unconscious of the cause,

it occasioned 2 cloud upon her new-. At last it became so'

born happiness. marked that she called her mother’s | attention toit. Once that was aroused, : it was not many hours before the} patient, hard-working woman had stil! | another pang added to her life’s sorrows | in the knowledge that while she had| been so fatally oblivous to Flora’s| dawning womanhood, the child had, been suffered to-drift in her unsuspect-. ing innocence into an acquaintance! which she feared would ezst a blight over her young life to which her bodily | affliction would be nothing. .

The Greatest Medical Diseovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the beal- ing of so many different diseases has deen caused by outward application as. the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s CApsitcuM Ponovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more reai service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and ° it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLasTers, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribo them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELYrN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you ean rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from Jead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture of ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPsI- ©uM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
