MR. H. R. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-I take the pleasure of writing
you a small certificate concerning Vegetine
prepared by you. I have been a sufferer
with the Dyspepsia for over forty years,
and have had the Chronic Diarrhoa for over
six months, and have tried most every
thing; was given up to die, and did not ex
pect to live from day to day; and no physi
cian could touch my case. I saw your Vege
tine r3oinmended to cure Dyspepsia. I
commenced using it, and I continued doing
so, and am now a well woman and restored
to perfect health. Al11 who are afflicted
with this terrible disease, I would kindly:
recommend to try it for the benefit of their
health, and it is excellent as a blood puri
fier. By Dr. T. B. FORBES, M.D., for

suffering from a Rose Cancer oni y right
breast, which grew very rapidly, and alln
I friends had given me up to die. whenI
heard of your medicine, Vegetine, recom
mended for Cancer and Cancerous Humors. e
I commenced to take it, and soon found my
self beginning to feel better; my health and

it exerted. auI in ; few months from the
time I comimenced the .se of the Vegetine, .

ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.-If VEGE

cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different physi- b
cians, many remedies, suffering for years,
is it not conclusive proof, it you are a suf- a

[F YOU WANT A KISS, TAKE
IT.
There is ajolly Saxon proverb
That is pretty much like this:
That a man is half in Heaven
When he has a woman's kiss.
But there's danger in delaying,
And the sweetness may forsake it;
So I tell you bashful lover,
If you want a kiss, why take it.
Never let another fellow
Steal a march on you in this;
Never let a laughing maiden
gee you a spoiling for a kiss.
There's a royal way of kissing,
And the jolly ones who make it
Have a motto that is winning;
If you want a kiss, why take ft.
Any fool may face a cannon
Anybody wear. a crown
But a man must win a woman,
If he'd have b.er for his own.
Would you have a golden apple,
You must find the tree and shake it;
If a thing is worth the having,
And you want a kiss, why take it.
Who would burn upon a desert?
WiLh a forest running by?
Who would give his sunny summer
For a bleak and wintry sky?
Oh! I tell you there is magic,
And you cannot, cannot break it;
For the sweetsst part of loving
Is to want a kiss and-take it.
As' FATE ORDAIINER.

"A woman, outwardly fair and
eautiful as the flowers in her hand;
woman, of whose inward loveli
ess thpsp were no extravagant
ypC.
So I thought, as I came upon
er in the summer-ho.use, fashion
g bouquets.
But her.Beauty was naught to
ie; I .had sought her only to
%y:
"4I am going to be married,
rysie."
Roses and lilies ; fresh, fragrant,
nd, under her deft fingers, blend
ig with w'ondrous grace. She
id not start ; she did not evince
urprise ; she Iquietly fastened
flower, and said :
"I congratulate you, Hugh."
I was puzzled. Gysie was not
ront to be short. I stood silent,
earce knowing? whether tobe
ispleased at the brevity of her
nswer, or pleased with her earn
st tone. But she supplemented
quickly placing her little white
and oti mine.
"Hugh," she said," this is a sur
rise for me, but I am very, very
lad. I1 am glad because I believe
bat you have based your choice
n love. You see my flowers?*
Vat better can I wish than that
our mutual affection may be as
rarmhued. as these lilies, and
The white hand slipp)ed away ;
be paused, apparently intent.on
eplacing a rebellious bud.
"And as true as your own blue
yes, Gysie," I mur mured, with a
enderness born of my young
>ve.
"If you like the simile, yes,"
be replied,- smilingly ; and still
milingly she listened whilst
apturously I poured forth the
ory of my betrothal, revealing to
er, as I would have done to no'
ne else, the depth of my enrap
ured soul.
For, to ms,likb3 sister was
~yie ; from childhood 1 had re
arded her as such ; and though
n odd impulse had prompted me
o keep my happiness for a few
ays after my return home a
ecret from her, when I revealed
L, 1 could hold notbing back.
"1 am so glad, Hugh ; so very,
ery glad," she repeated, softly,
hen I pau'sed. The bouquets
y finished in her basket, and ere
could answer, she had gone.
A bit provoked at. her. unex
ected departure; a bit foolish I
t too. She was bored ; worse,
he hurried away to laugh over
ay xtravagant lover's soul. It
ad had a lofty flight, I knew ;
ut-this was unlike Gysie.
Still, she had never seen me
us. She had chosed the least
ifensive role, I reflected as I
~ent home ; went to shower pas
ionate kisses on the fair face that
miled up from my dressing-table ;
o feed upon the letter waiting
here.
how fnd my ees drank in the
loving words; how my fond heart
thrilled as I read:
"It is so lonely since you went,
dear Hugh. Before our separa
tion I did not realize how much 1
loved you. Oh, I pray it miay not
be long."
Mine was an ordinary lover's
tale. I had gone from college to
a distant city, there to begin my
law practice; there, as fate or
dered, to meet a fair-haired girl
who from the outset, held me
captive, and to whom I bowed
with an adoration as boundless as
uprestrained.
A month engaged ; then unex
pected events had called me home.
There was paid at separation ;
there was pain in absence still;
fet, this day, 'mid its pain a
sweetness, since, otherwise, I
might pot bove read the words ;
"Before our separation I did
not realize bow much I loved
you. Oh, I pray it may not be
Ion_(r."
-It shall not be long," I mur
inured. "My darling, it shall not
be long." And I p,ushed, from
thAt moment, with a quite frenzied
determination, tho business which
had summoned me home.
But fate dallied. Days passed,
and weeks ; the roses were fading
in Gysie's garden, and still per
force, I stayed. At first I found
comfort in letters; it was solace
to rain kisses on my darling's
miniature. But a time came when
these did not. suffice. I chafed
impatiently, and was on the point,
at any risk, of bursting the shack
les which so piteously chained me
there.
Suddenly, there cami a blank.
Days passed, and no letters came
to my tablc. Despite my re
peated inquiries, I found no an
swer there. But the blank only
made me cling to my passion
with daily increasing trust and
hope. So, till the sequel came.
It .was a tempestuous, rainy
evening I walked homeward, past
Gysie's garden, to see the wind
beating down the roses; to see the
last lilies bent, wilted to the
ground. I walked homeward,
with no presentiment that so,
even, were my hopes.
The lamplight rested on t.he
smiling picture ; it flickered gaily
on the envelope beside.
-A moment's pause, an instinc
tive shock; then I tore it open
with a joy ful cry.
It were easy to read:
"I have made a mietake, Hugh.
1 believed that 1 loved you, but I
have cha~nged. I have no excuse,
save that I love another, and so
must break my engagement with
you. You would not have it
otherwise ?"
That was all.
I stood a minute, spell-bound,
lenching the dainty message in
my hand. A minute, bewildered ;
then, with a sudden, frenzied
movement I struck the smiling
picture with a force that hurled
it, shivered beyond recognition,
at my feet.
I could have chosen no better
calming medium ; with this effort
my frenzy sank ; there remained
to me but a vague sense of
sufferig-a vague longing for the
sympathy I was so soon to find.
And, instinctively, half mechan
ially, I strode forth into the tem
pest, never pausing till I stood in
her presence, my hands still
lenching th6 letter, my anguish
written unmistakably in my face.
She started involun tarily. Again
er little white hand sought
mine.
"Hugh," she said, "dear Hugh,
what ill new -
But the sofeetouch, the tender
words, were, as in former days,
the key that unlocked my soul.
Clinging to her han.d as~ to an
anchor, lo.oking deep into her
true eyes, I told her my story.
I poured forth my bitter anguish
as unreservedly as I once had
done my joy.
She sat calmly listening, calmly
witnessing my storm of woe. Still
calmly, when pausing, I bent my
head upon her hand, awaiting her
soothing words.
Then, softly, she spokie my
name:

The days passed. Autum
changed to winter, and winter 1
spring. Tbe vines in Gysies ga
den were donning their green i
the homes of the dead lilies aD
roses, the fresh ones were begii
ping to bloom,
So I mused, watching them o
the eve of my proposed departui
from home. I had delayed it thi
long ; at first from a keen dread
the old scenes, ashrinking from th
memories they must awake. Latc
when freed from these 4s.thoug
they had never existed, from
longing I could not subdue.
For, oddly,. as with nature, s
was it with me. In the home <
my dead lilies and roses the fres
ones were hastening to bloom.
Str4nge fate that plays wit
human hearts. Without that rei
elation, this had never been;
had. gone tbrough life dea<
hearted, blind to the deepest em<
tions my soul possessed. But si
happily, it was ordained. Gra<
ually from the sweet evening, tba
clouds lifted-lifted to show tb
old love dead, to show the nes
love enthroned-less frenzied, pd
chance than its young pred<
cessor~, but fervid, devoted
love that could never die.
Nevertheless, in vain. I ha

It was a dreary journey I we

"Oh, Hugh-dear Hugh, I hay

The Sevres Collection--The Wonderful Gobe
lins-Gen. Grant's Ovation-GeneralNews.
b You will recollect that I left off
t my description last week with the
it Prince of Wales' collection. Now
;0 pass down the hall to the right
g and we find ourgelyes before the
a celebiated Sevres collection. This
it exhibition is rather to be valued for
F, its excellence than its extent ; and
in one sense it is greviously dis
appointing. The fame of this great
, establishment has been so world
P- wide, that one would naturally ex
pect to find a large and varied col
Y lection ; the very reverse is the
case, there being an entire absence
1 of those magnificent tea and dinner
0, sets, which are associated in the
minds of every one with the name
n of Seyres porcelain. One small set
o of tea cups is. all, the rest being
r- made up of magnificent vases
D which call for more than a passing
d mention. The vAses here exhibited
a are not exceptional in design; in
that respect they are surpassed by a
r number in different parts of the
-e Exposition, but as specimens of
[s pure exalted artistic beauty, they
>A stand where you avould naturally
e expect to find them without a rival.
r Of one feature it is impossible to
b speak in terms of too flattering
a commendation, and that is the no
ble purity and chastity of the orna
0 mentation. One prizes such a rev
) lation as this the more when you
b are surrounded by unclean things,
and there is much in this Great
h Exposition that might safely be rel
egated to the dissecting room, or
the closet of. the anatomical stu
- dent. In the Sevres collection,
what there is of it, everything is
Sbeautiful ; a pair of black vases
Senamelled with figures of the purest
e and fleeciest white, challenge es
e pecial admiration. The work is
v wonderful and soft as a midsummer
7 night dream. Another vase is of
the loveliest amber, on which fairy
a figues melt into the clouds, and on
another a peacock, gorgeous in his
d ,rainbow plumage, is one of the
e most remarkable works of art in
~ in the entire collection. There is
r but one small tea set, which rests
'in a beautiful case ; on a casual
d glance you would be inclined to
pass it by; but if you did, you
e would miss one of the rarest pieces
0 of art ever seen in any land. Not
~ one in a thousand examines it
critically, and I can scarcely blanie
sthem when they are surrouznded by
r so much that it is beautiful and
Sstriking ; but this jittle set is one
of those gems which one seldom
sees in a lifetime. You are now near
some works the equal of which has
e never been produced in the world.
e Everybody who has travelled, im
e agines that they have seen les Gobe
l ins. Fadled hangings are to be
r found in almost every European
e palace. In Paris they are for sale
in most of the second-hand shops,.
and in Florence or Rome they are
more common than clean faces.
SBut to see the latest glory of the
Gobelins which, by the way, is
Sra* her a misnomer, you will have
tto come to the Paris Exposition.
SThere may have been things be
fore as beautiful in art ; but I have
never,. seen them or heard of them.
Against the wall, almost in the
Lmidst of the Sevres collection, is
V the figure in tapestry of "The New
s Moon." It is the nude figure of a
female holding an arrow piercing
the new moon. Everything about
s this work is pure as the spotless
Ssnow, clear as a ray of sunlight,
Schaste as Diana's visage. The
most difficult thing in art is to
strip earth from its earthiness and
dross and to carry the mind up
ward and heavenward to the full
realization of how the angels
looked ; yet this the artist has done
in this sublime work .which must
be seen to be appreciated, for no
mere description can convey to the
mind anything like an - adequate
idea of its loveliness and beauty.
Close by is a copy of Corregio's
wonderful picture, "The Visitation
. of St eome." As y on look at it,
it is difficult to realize that yo,4 are
looking on a product of the weav
ers' loom; that the shuttle and the
woof and the web have brought
this mechanical marvel, for marvel
it is, almost equal to the Miracles of
Old; the brilliant color, the breath
ing life, the magnificent inspiration
which distinguishes the work 'of
the grand old Florentine are here
all reproduced. The Pitti Palace,
the Vatican and the Louvre can no
longer monopolise these wonderful
inspirations of genius. The vision
which Jacquard saw-as the prophet
of old saw the fields of the prom
ised but dimily from the misty
mountain tops and afar off,-is
more than- realized to day. But
new wonders await you. You Al
ready imagine that what you have
.seen that which no mortal genius
could surpass, and yet there are
two tapestries on the other side
that, for magnificent conception
and beauty of execution, unmeasu
rably transcend all the others.
They ara copies of Le Brun's great
pictures of the "The Sea and the
Earth," softei, brighter and more
beautiful than the original paintings
which have given the painter im
mortality. These great works are
intended for the Hotel de Ville, of
which they will be the chiefest or
nament. It is gratifying to the
lover of art to know that aided by
the wonderful processes now'being
perfected, that it will be possible to
duplicate the works of the old
masters, and Correggio's, Mur
rilo's, Angelo's and Vandyke's may
become as common as ordinary
chromos. That the steam loom
can now Accomplish in a few hours
the work which was the patient
labor of years, and these immortal
inspirations of cannonized genius
scattered broadcast in every land
shall raise humanity to a higher
plane than it has ever known be
fore. Passing on to the extreme
end of the hall, we find ourselves
before a colos'sal bronze group, the
work of the bronze foundry of
Paris. While by no means ex
ceptional in its finish, in boldness
of design,it is unequalled. A mount
ed warrior, armed pied en cape, is
just about going into battle ;
his - features are noble, stern and
grand, and at his - horse's head
two warriors stand, watching the
progress of the fight. Around
the pedestal are several isolated
figures, the most notable being
those of the dying huzzar and the
skipping girl. The soldier is a
work of great merit, and the girl
has just leaped intp the air and is
entirely sustained by the skipping
rope, the sweep of which barely
touches the ground. The design
is unique and the artist deserves
great credit for the admirable man
ner in which ,he has executed his
very difficult task. During the
week Paris has been treated to
several lively sensations. At noon
on Saturday an erratic French
man, by the name of Foy, took off
his clothes and leaped from the top
of the Arc de Triomiphe de l'Etoile,
and strange to relate, he lived for
four hours. A magnificent gold
watch was found in his pocket and
forty francs in cash. What, in the
name of common sense, could have
induced a Frenchman to commit
suicide 'while he had forty francs
left, is a mystery, and it is whis
pered that the Chamber of Depu
ties may .possibly appoint a com
mittee to investigate this interest
ing phenomenon. A startling and
dramatic scene took, place in the
Criminal Court on Saturday last
during the trial of one Danval for
poisoning his wife. The testimony
of the experts was conflicting, and
Danval hoped to get the doubt and
be acquitted. The jury, however,
instead of acquitting him brought in
a qua~lified verdict of guilt, which
they are permitted to do under the
French law. As the verdict fell
from the lips of the foreman, the
silence was almost painful. Just
at this instance Danval started up;i
his eyes were bloodshot and his
hair dishevelled, and raising both
his hands aloft he cried in ringing
tones that went to all hearts: "Be
fore God and before man I am in
nocent. I have been brutal and
cruel, it is true, but before God I
am innocent of this." The scene
created a profound sensation, and
t.he prisoner wamentenced to hard
labor for life. On Saturday after.
noon General Grant, who has just
returned to Paris. visited the Ex
position, and at the invitation of a
number of Exhibitors partook of ai
impromptu lunch.- The menu was
made up from articles on exhibi-:
tion, and was varied, good and en
joyable. One supplied oysters; ano
ther pickles ; others preserved
fruits and meats, canned turkey,
fricassed chicken, porter, cham
pagne and other temperance drinks.
The great tobacco house of J. H.
Allen & Co., of Richmond, Va., so
ably represented here by Mr. Gin
ter, furnished the General with his
post prandal cigars. The affair was
presided over by E. T. Bell, Esq.,
Commissioner from the State of
New Jersey, and gave unqualified
enjoyment and satisfi.ction. Gen.
Grant and wife were attended by
Gen. Noyes, the American Minister,
and his lady, the Hon. R. C. Me
Cormick and lady, Col. Torbert,
the Consul, and several of the dig
nitaries.. Paris is full of Americans
and the cry is "still they come."

HIS LOOKS DECEIVED

He did not look like a jokbr.
One to sit and study his face
would have said that his soul was
so lost in melancholy that be
didn't care two cents whether the
sun set at noon or staid up until
7 o'clock. He entered the ladie?
sitting room at the Catiwissa
depot, walked up to a woman
whose husband bad left the room
about ten minutes previously, and
calmly inquired:
"Madam, your husband went
out to see the river, didn't he ?"
"Yes-why ?" she asked, turn
ing pale in an instant.
"He was a tall man, wasn't
he ?"
"He was," she replied, rising up
and turning still paler.
"Had red hair ?"
"He had-oh! what -has' hap
pened ?"
"Weighed about -one hundred
and eighty pounds ?"
"Yes-yes-where is my hus
band ?" she exclaiied.
"Couldn't siiim, could he ?"
"He's drowned-my husband is
drowned !" she wailed.
"Had a silver watch-chain ?"
continued the stranger.
"Where is my husband-where
is tbe body ?" she gasped.
"Do -not get excited, Madam.
Did your husband have on a gray
suit ?"
"Yes--ob,Thomas ! my Thomas!"
"And stoga boots ?"
"Let me see him; let me see
him," she cried.
* "Come this way, .Madam; but
do not get excited. There, is that.
your husband across the street at
that peanut stand ?"
"Why, yes-that's him; that's
my husband !" she exclaimed, joy
fully. "1 thought you said he was
drowned ?"
"No, Madam ,I did not.' I saw
him buying peanuts and I believed
it my duty to say to you that
peanuts arc not healthy at this
season of the year !~
He slid softly out, and she stood
therd and stared after him as if
he were a menagerie on wheels.
If what has been done is not al

Generosity does not consist in
giving, but in making sacrifices
that you may be able to give.
Call to mind the Leavier suffer

To-morrow is the day on which
idle men work and fo->ls retorm.
Haste trips 'up its own heels,
fetters and stops itself.
The dying never weep.
