m and

vetting ready

and run, you never can tell which until he {s through with it. And the old man, looking at Tom, and through him, and vast him, feels his oid heart throb al most as quickly as does that of the young man before him. For looking down a lorg vista of happy, eventful ears, bordered with roseate hopes and right dreams and anticinations, he sees

radiant with smiles and blushes; he feels a soft own with its timid under

a tender face kindled sith hand drop into his pressure; he sees the vision open, the glittering summer stars, ‘down mossy hillsides. where the restless breezes, sigh- ing through the rustling leaves, whisper- ed their tender secrets to the noisy Katydids; strolling along ‘the winding paths, deep in the bending wild grass, down fe the star-lit aisles of the dim old woods; loitering where the meadow vrook sparkles over the white pebbles or murmers around the great flat stepping- stones; lingering on the rustic fout- bridge, while he gazes into eyes eloquent and tender in their silent loye-light; up throngh the long pathway of years, flecked and checkered with sunshine and

cloud. with storm and calm, throuth yearemf struggle, trial, sorrow, disap- | pointment, out at last into the granl,

glorious, crowning beauty and benisva of bard-won and well-deserved succe:s, until he sees now thie second Laura, re-imaging her mother as she was in the dear old days. And mh rouses from his dream with a start, and he tells Tom he’. ‘‘Talk it over with Mrs. Tret. and see him again in the nrerning.’’

fe they are duly and formallyver- gaged; and the very first thing they do, they make the very sensible, though very uncemmon, resolution to so theemselves that no ome will ever suspect it. And they succeed admirably. No cne ever does suspect it. They come :into church in time to hear ithe benediction-- every time they come together. They shun ali other peeple.when church is dis- missed, and are seem to go home the longest way. At picnies they are misced not more than fifty :times a day, .and are discovered sitting wnder a tree, hold- ing each other’s hands, gazing into each otber’s eyes and saying—nothing. When he throws her shawl over her shoulders, he.mever looks at what he is doing, ‘het looks straight into her starry -#pes, threws the shaw! right over her natural curis, and drags them out by the hair pins. If, at sociable or festival, they are left alone in a dressimgs room a secend anda half, Laura emerges with her rafGe standing around hike a railroad accident; and Tom has«enough comph ¥ ion on his shoulder to go around a yeurg ladies’ seminary. When they drive our they 4it in a buggy with a seat eightees inches wide, and there ix two feet of un-

occupied room at either.end of it. Long years afterwards, when they drive, a streetecar isn't too wide for them; and

when they walk, you ould drive four loads. ef hay between them.

And yet, as carefoily as they guard their precious little secret. and as cau- tious and circumspect as they are iz their walk and behavior, it gets talked around that they are engaged. People are 80 prying and suspicions.

And so the months .af ment ran on; never befere, or since, time flies so swiftly. Unless, it may be, some time when Tom has an acceptance in bank.to meet in twodays, that he can’t lift one end of—and the wedding

ing rigut, from kitchen to dressing-rooms; looking after everything amd ‘everybody, with her hands and heart jest as full as they will hold, and more woices calling ‘‘ma’’ ifrom every room in the house, that rou would think one hundred mas could.answer. But she answers them all, and she sees after everything, and just in the nick of time prevents Mr. Tret from going downstairs and attend- ing ‘the ceremony in a Joud-figured dress- ing-gown and ere an slippers; ma, who, with quivering Ap and glistening eyes, hes to be cheerful, amid-lively, and smil- imz; because if, as she thinks of the dearest and best of ler flock going away from her fold, to give her life and her

happiness into another's keepirg, she zives away for one moment, a dozen re- mproachful voices cry ‘out, ‘‘Oh-h, ma!’

‘How it all comes back to Laura, like the tender shadows of a dream, long years after the dear, dear face, furrowed with marks of patient suffering and loving care, rests under the snow and the daisies; when the mother Jove that glis- tened in the tender eyes has closed in darkness on the dear old home; nerveless hands, «crossed in dreamless sleep upon the pulseless breast, can never again touch the children’s heads with caressing gestures; how the sweet vision comes to Laura as it shone on her wed- | ding morn, rising in tenderer beauty through the blinding tears her own ex- cess of happiness‘valls up, as the rain- bow spans the cloud only through the migling of the galden sunshine and the falling rain.

And pa, dear did shabbby pa, whose clothes will not fit him as they fit other men; who always dresses just a year and a half behind the style; pa, wandering up and down through the house, as though he were lost in his own home, | pacing through the hall like a sentinel, ' blundering aimieesly and listlessly rooms where he has no business, and being repelled therefrom by a choras of piercing shrieks and hysterical giggling; pa, getting off his well worn jokes with an assumption of merriment that seems positively real; ma, who creeps away by himself once im «a while and leans his face against the ~window, and sighs, in direct violation of all strict household regulations, right against the glass, as he thinks of the little girl going awar to-day from the home whose love and tenderness and patience she knows so well. Only yesterday, it seems to him, the little baby girl, bringing the first music of baby prattle into his home, then a little girl in short dresses, with school. girl troubles and school-girl pleasures; then an older girl, out of schoo] and inte

society, but a little girl to pa still. And then—-. But somehow,this isas faras pa can get, for he sees, in the flight of this, the first, the following flight of the other fledglings; and he thinks how silent and desolate the old mest will be when they have all mated and flown away. He thinks, when their flight shall have made other homes bright and cheery and sparkling, with music and prattle and laughter, how it will leave the old home hushed and quiet and still. How in the long, lonesome afternoons, mother will sit by the empty cradle that rocked them all, murmuring the sweet old cradle songs that brooded over all their sieep, until the rising tears check the swaying cradle and choke the song—and back over river and mountain and prairie that roll and stretch and rise between the old home and the new wnes, comes back the prattle of her little ones, the rippling music of their laughter, the tender ca- dences of their songe until the hushed ald home is haunted.by memories of its ehildren—gray and .old they may be, with other children clustering about their knees, but to dhe dear old home they are ‘‘the children’’ still. And dream- ing thus, when pa fer a moment finds his little girl alone—h’s little girl who ie going away out of .the home whose lave she knows,in‘tc a heme whose tender- ness and patience are all untried—he holés her in his arins amd whispers the most fervent blessing that ever throbbed from a father’s heart; agd Laura's wed- ding day would be incomplete and un- feelir.a without her tears. So is the pat- tern of our life made up.of smiles and tears, shadows and sunshine. ‘om sees none ef the background pictmres of the wedding day. He sees mume.of its real, heartfelt earnestness. He saes only the

bright, sunny tints amd happy figures that the tearful, shaded hackground

throws owt in golden relief; laut never stops to think that, without fhe sha- dows, the elouds, andthe somber tints of the background the picture would be flat, pale azel lusterless.

And then the presents. The a«sort- ment of braekets, serviceable, ornamental and—cheap. The French clock, that never went, that does not go, that never will go. The nine potato mashers. The eight mustard ¢«poons. The three cigar stands. Eleven match safes; assorted patterns. A dozen tidies, charity fair style, bine deg on a yellow background, barking ata green boy climbing a red fence after seal brown apples. The two churns, old pattern, straight handle and dashex, and they have as much thought of keeping .# cow as they have of keeping a section of artillery. Five things they didn’t know the names of, and never could find amy body who could tell what they were for.

When a woman complains of being slug- gish, ‘rvous and despondent the attributes these symptoms to heart trouble, or disorders of the liver. Ile is not right eice in ten times.

When a woman feels this way she is usu- ally suffering from weakness or disease of the organs distinetly feminine. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Preserigtion is the best of all lnown remedies fr suffering women. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of maternity. it makes them strong, healthy and vigor- ous. Thousands of wemen who were weak, nervous, fretful ard unhappy wives are to- day happy, healthy, helpful and robust as the result of the use of this marvelous rem- edy. Itis the discovery of an eminent and skillful physician, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. During those years, with the assistance of a staff of able physicians, he has prescribed for many thousands of ailing women. He will gladly, without charge, answer letters from suffering wo- men.

Afghan Stamps,

One of the torments af the postage stamp collectors is the ameer of Afghan istan. Old issues of Afghan stamps are rare and costly, and new issues are con- tinually being made. In vain the philat- elists try to put a stop to it, and even

the last international postal congress in Washington dealt with it. The ameer’s new ideas in postage stamps are put for- ward solely with a view to filling his purse by selling them to collectors. His latest order is that each province and each principal city in his dominion shall have different stamps, in different co:- ors, and, furthermore, that every post- master shall peel the stamps from all the letters that come to his office and
