—— _ = THE FORGOTTHN GRAVE.

Out from the city’s giant roar

You wandered through the open doer ; Paused at a little pail and spade,

Across a tiny hillock Jaid ;

Then noted on your dexter side ' Some moneyed magnate’s ‘‘love or pride. And so, beyond a hawthorn tree,

Showering its rain of rosy bloom

Alike on low and lofty tomb,

You came upon it suddenly.

How strange! The very grasses’ growth Around it seemed forlorn and loath ; The very ivy seemed to turn

Askance that wreathed and neighbor urn. Sunk was the slab ; the head declined, And left the rails a wreck behind.

sem

No name ; you traced a “6,” a ‘7,

Part of ‘‘aflliction” and of ‘‘ Heaven ;" And then—O irony austere !—

You read io letters sharp and clear, ‘Though lost to sight, to memory dear.”

THE OBSTRUCTED TRACK.

( Continued.)

She sat at. her window ofttimes,with the lamp on the sill, and often fancied she could see him leaning from his en- gine, with his eyes fixed to catch a glimpe of her, but the train would be swallowed up in the woods again.

This life was excitement and joy to Viola; but it was passing away. The time was coming when Ed. Gordon would leave the road and accept the superintendency of the eompany’s car shops in a flourishing way.

But let me return to the October night when Voila left her home toin- vestigate the sound that seemed to come from Gwynne’s Cut.

She felt that obstructions were being placed upon the track in the dismal place. Of late the company had in- curred the hatred of several persons residing in ths vicinity of the station, and once or twice the track had been tampered with, but fortunately to no serious extent.

The night express generally went through the cut with undiminished speed, for no obstruction had been en- countered there, though the cattle- guard in the centre would assist the evilly disposed.

Viola at last reached the cut, into which the mellow moonbeams fell, and paused, something high and dark ob atructed the track betore her, at the very spot where the cattle-guard seem- ed to be, and she held her breath. It was twelve o'clock when she left her house, and her walk had occupied a number of precious minutes. The shrieks of Red Bird would soon be heard, and a moment thereafter its head-light would flash into the cut or gorge.

She saw more than a pile of strong ties on the track. She saw the dark figure of a man moving about the py- ramids, as if contemplating his night’s work and speculating upon the death and ruin it would cause. She watched until she believed that one man had accomplished the diabolical deed, then she crept forward through the shadow of the bushes that lined the sides of the cut, until she stood within ten feet of him.

‘T’ll go back to the station now,’ she heard him say to himself. ‘I can get there before the accident, and when it oceurs, why I can run up there and see him uader the ruins of his engine, so crush that that doll-faced girl of his will not recognise. him.’

A cruei laugh rippled over his lips as he stepped back from the heap of ties, several of which he had forced into the guard, where they were wedged like postsofiron. He enjoyed his own words, and viewed the work of his mad hands.

‘VU crush the Red Bird,’ he said, turning away, ‘ and put him out of my path forever !’

Tho last words, fall of devil's tri- umph, still quivered on his lips, when Viola stepped from the shadows and thrust the muzzle of her revolver into his face. He started back with a cry of horror and muttered her name.

‘This is your revenge, Morgan Duke,’ she said, looking sternly into his eyes. 4 Now, obey my commands or there will be a lifeless body on this track, to be mingled among the ruins of the night express. To work at once! off with your coat, and remove eyery ob- struction your wicked hands phaced here |"

The train can’t be saved now,’ he said, and there was joy in histones. ‘It took me one long hour to obstruct the gaenty In twenty minutes, or less per

aps, you'll see the Red Bird’s head- light up the cut.’

‘Villian!’ she cried, ‘if this track is not clear when I se her head-light,I’l! drive a bullet through yourbrain! You know what to do, I will talk no long- er!’

Covered by her revolver as he was, Morgan Duke the station master, doffed his coat and went to work.

Viola never took her eyes from him, and the silvery moon that rested over the cut showed his every movement.

He was on the pile of ties, hurling them, one by one, with the strength of a modern Samson upon the not over

?

wide grade, He worked for life, for he knew when the thundering train was due, and a glance at the girl on the track told him that she wonld surely kill him if he did not do her bidding.

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

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has eaused 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 Capsicum PoRoUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, te act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and reguire to be worn continually to effect & cure 5 ut with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant oue 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-

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 prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases aa rheumatism, pein in the side and back, and ail such. cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVrn’s Capsicum POROUS PLASTER. You ean hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. ough powerful and ag in its action, you can rely on its safety or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and er poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIx’s CAPat- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 fora n, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
