A TALE OF THE TURF IN 15889. ** Mother, don't ery for 18 may be Father has been detained to night, You know he ever faithfally Comes home on such a night You say he has thus far been true,

And what he promises he'll do.

* Yes, child, he always has been kind, And it is wrong for me to fear;

But there is something on my mind Which troubles me my dear;

Did you not notice that, last night,

He seemed as if all was not right.”

* Yes, mother, what you say is true, He did not take me on his knee, Or sister, sed to dk Ere we sat down to tea But, then, perhaps he never thought, : And blame him | don't think we ought.

as he t

“Tf this was al] I would not care; But then 1 noticed more than that,

He did not smile or come to share Our evening laugh and chat ;

And this he never failed to do:

My child, I noticed more than you.”

* And after you had gone to sleep I asked him w ry he looked so sad, Tis what he answered makes me weep, He sad that I was mad; And when 1 cried he talked so strange, I ean’t account for such a change.”

‘* Last night he was an hour late,

And now to-night he will be more, For it is very nearly eight;

He never stayed before : Children, don’t cry, I cannot bear Your tears, they fill me with despair.”

The mother by the window stands Watching the road with tearful eyes; Phe sister clasps the brother's hands, Tears with tears sympathize : The clock strikes eight, and soon che light, Speeding away, gives piace to night.

The table spread with loving care Remains just as two hours ago, And only one is wanting there To change this scene of woe Into a sunny paradise, Replete with love and glad surprise.

And now the anxious mother hears A sound of foot-falls in the lane ; All quickly brush away the tears And joy dispels their pain ; “Tis he” the children cry, and all Run forth to meet him in the hall.

No frown or look of pain to-night Repels their tender anxious gaze, But each receives the welcome bright,

Denied two painful days : The marks of tears they cannot hide, Then lovingly he ‘gins to chide,

‘* Why weep dear wife, and children too, Because for once I was downcast ?

How could you doubt me ever true After the happy past?

When love so iong remainsa stay

It cannot wither in 4 day.”

«Twas love for you that made me keep The secret locked within my breast ; All night I could not think to sleep, My mind was sore, distressed ; But now dear wife the cloud is past, I pray that it may be the last.”

** Never again will I refuse

To share my cares and fears with you, Or, by withholding, so abuse

A heart so warm and true ; Dear ones we're free from all disgrace— The horse J jockied lost the race.”

THE FAIR GOD.

BOOK SEVEN.

CHAPTER I. (Continued. )

The words touched him, and he replied, in & low voice, ‘‘ You have a good heart, O Tula ——a good heart and true. Your words were what I repeat every hour inthe day. You were seeing what [ see all the time .

** Phe battle !” she said, shuddering.

‘Yes. I wish it could be avoided; its conditions are such that against the advan- tage of arms | can only oppose the advantage of numbers ; so that the dearest of all things will be the cheapest. I must take no account of lives. I have seen the streets run with blood already, and now—Enough! we must do what the gods decree. Yet the slaughter shall not be as heretofore, on one side alone.”

She looked at him inquiringly.

**You know the custom of our people to take prisoners rather than kill in battle. As against the Tlascalans and tribes, that was well enough: but new conditions require new laws, and my order now is, save nothing but the arms and armor of the strangers. Life for life as against Malinche! And I could conquer him, but-———”

He stopped, and their glances met—his full of fire, hers sad and thoughtful.

**Ah, Tula! your woman’s soul prompts

you already of whom I would speak—the king.”

‘* Spare me,” with her hands. yet.”

**So 1 know,” he replied; ‘‘and I would not have you do else. The love is proof of fit- ness to be loved. Nature cannot be silenced. He is not as near to me as to you ; yet i feel the impulse that moves you, though in a lessdegree. In memory he is a part of my youth. For that matter, who does not love him? He has charmed the strangers ; even the guards at his chamber door have been known to weep at sight of his sorrow. And the heroes who so lately died before his prison gates, did they not love him? And those who will die to-morrow and the next day, what else may be said ofthem? In arms here, see the children of the valley. What seek they? In their eyes he is Anahuac. And yet c

subtlety, mak-

ing acceptance appear a duty. But, Tula, you prevailed ; your love was dearer to me than the crown. For your sake I refused the overture. You never said so—there was no need of the saying —yet I knew you could never be queen while your father lived.

Not otten has a woman heard such a story

her face mantled, and she dropped her gaze, saying

“ Better to be lov ed than to be que en : it not here, O 'tzin, look for reward in the sun Surely, the gods take note of such,things !

* Your approval is my full reward,” he replied. ‘But hear me further. What | have said was easy te s*®y; that which I go to now is hard, and requires all my will ; for the uttrance may forfeit not merely the blessing just given me, but your love-——more _precious as I have shown, than the crown. You were in the palace the day the king appeared and bade the people home. The strangers were in my hand atthe time. 0, a glad time,—so long had we toiled, so many haddied! Then he came, and snatched aw ay our triumph, I have not forgiven, I never can never forget the disappointment. In all the labor of the preparation since I have seen the scene, sometimes as a threat, sometimes as a warn- ing, always a recurring dream whose dream- ing leaves me less resolved in the course I am running. Continually I find myself saying to myself, ‘The work is all in vain; what has been will be again; while he lives you cannot win.’ O, Tula, such influence was bad enough of itself. Hear now how the gods came in to direct me. Last night I was at the altar of Huitzil’, praying, when the teotuctli appeared and said, *"Tzin Guatamo, pray for your country.’ ‘For the country and king,’ I answered. He laid his hand upon my shoul- der, ‘ If you seek the will of the god with in- tent to do what he imposes, hear then: The king is the shield of the strangers; they are safe while he lives; and if he lives, Anahuac dies. Let him who leads choose between them. So the god says. Consider! He was sone before I could answer. Since that I have Seon like one moving in a cloud, seeing noth- ing clearly, and the duty least of all: When I should be strongest, | am weakest. My spirit faints under the load. If the king lives, the empire dies ; it it is to die, why the battle and its sacrifices? This night have I in which to choose; to-morrow, Malinche and action! Help me, O Tula, help me to do right! Love of country, of king, and of me—you have them all. Speak.”

And she answered him :

**] may not doubt that you love me; you have told me so many times, but never as_to- night. Ithank you, O ‘tzin! Your duties are heavy. I do not wonder that you bend under them. I might say they are yours by gifts of the gods, and not to be divided with another, not even with me; but I will give you love for love, and, as I hope to share your fortunes, I will share your trials. I am a woman, without judgment, by which to an- swer you; from my heart I will answer.” ‘**From your heart be it, O Tula.”

** Has the king heard the things of which you have spoken ?”

**I cannot say.”

**Does he know you were offered the crown ?”

** No; the offer was treason.”

** Ah, poor king, proud father! The love of the people, that of which you were proud- est, is lost. What wretchedness awaits you !” ; She bowed her head, and there was a silence broken only by her sobs. The grief spent it- self, then said earnestly:

‘*I know him. He, too, is a lover of Ana- huac. More than once he bas exposed him- self to death for her. Such loves age not, nor do they die except with the hearts they animate. They was a time—but now—no matter, 1 will try. ‘Let him who leads choose’; was not that the deeree, good tzin ?”

** Yes,” he replied.

‘** Must the choice be made to-night ?”

**I may delay until to-morrow.” **To-morrow; what time ?”

** Malinche will pass the causeway in {the cool of the morning; by noon he will have joined his people in the old palace ; the deci- sion must then be made.”

‘*Can you set me down at the gate before he passes in?”

The 'tzin started. he asked,

**T wish to see the king.”

** For what ?”

** To tell him the things you have told me to-night.”

His face clouded with dissatisfaction.

‘‘ Yes,” she continued calmly, “‘ that, as be- comes a king, he may choose which shall live —himself or Anahuac.”

The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing

ailments uliar to feniales, at the Invalids

Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt- ing and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman's suliar maladics,

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimo- nials, received from patients and from physi- cians who have tested it in the mere - vated an@ obstinate cases which had ed their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended asa “cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for woman's peculiar ailments.

As a powerful, invigorating tonic, it imparts strength to the whole gystem, and to the womb and its appendages in particular. For overworked, “worn-out,” ‘run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,”” house- keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription a3 che greatest <a boon, being unequaled as An appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. A3 ® soothing and strengthening norvine, “Favorite Prescription” is une

ualed and is invaluable in aying and gub- uing nervous excitability, irritability, ex- haustion, prostration, hysteria, and other distressing, nervous eymphome. com- monly attendant upon functional and organic

isease of the womb. It induces refreshing sleep an. *elicves mental anxiety and de- spondencs. Dr. Pierco’s Favorite Prescription is a legitimate medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and adap to woman's delicate organization, It is purely vegetable ir its composition and rtectiy harmless in its effects in-any condition of the system. For morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys- pepsia and kindred symptoms, its use, in sujall oses, will prove very beneficial. “Favorite Prescription” isa poste tive cure for the most complicated and ob- stinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions, prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back, * female weakness,” anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations. chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, ine flammation, pain and tenderness in ovaries, accompanied with “ internal heat.” As a regulator and promoter of func- tional action, at that critical period of change from girlhood to womanhood, “ Favorite Pre- scription” is a perfectly safe remedial nt, and can produce oy good results, It is

ually efficacious and valuab): in its effects when taken for those disorders and de ments incident to that later and most critical ' period, known a “ The Change of. Life.” |. “Favorite Prescription,” when taken ' in connection with the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative doses of Dr. Pierce’s Purgative Pellets (Little Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder diseases. ‘Their combined use also removes blood . taints, and abolishes cancerous and scrofutous humors from the system.

“Pavorite Prescription” is the only’ medicine for women, sold by druggists, under ‘AQ positive guarantee, from the manu-

facturers, that it will give satisfaction in every

case, Or money will be refunded. This guaran- tee hails been printed on the bottle-wrapper, and fithfully carried out for many years.
