A FLORIDA ROLANCE. f Grm Hr aeiebodekeletuWulelIh.eve aU One day during the progress of th Pl1 Thompson trial one of the Florid Senators, who had remained in Walb ngton a greater part of the time sine Congress adjourned, told a group c gentlemen the story of an incident tha came under his observation, which ii all probability, has not its parallei i7 history or fiction. "When a candidate for the Unite States Senate," ho said, "in compan with ton or a dozon other gentlemen, canvassed the State of Florida from on end to the other. Just at dusk one evenin we arrived at a farm-house of rather pre ,tentiiUs appearance. We were warml welcomed b>y the owner, who was know at ieast to one of the p,arty. We wor served with a splendid supper, at whiol we were waited upon by 1)ie farmer daughters-three bright, beautiful girle The farmer occupied ono end of th table and his wife, an elderly lady, witi snow white hair and a benevolent lace the other. I was at onco attracted b the ariability of the family. They wor, very cheerful and apparently ver anxious to make each other very happy The greatest regard was paid to thi mother, and no opportunity 'vas lost t< show respect and devotion to her. ''When the time came for retiring thi farmer took from a shelf an ol(1, well thunm ed Bible and said : " ' Gentlemen, for nearly a score o years it has beent my habit. to have familJ worship be fore retiring. I hope you wil join nai to-night.' "Io read a chapter from the Bible and wo all' knelt while he made a short eloquent prayer. The next morning th< samlo order, eheerfnlnefss and kindnoa were noticealblo. When we rode away from the house I said to a gentleman who was next to me that I had never witnessed a more peaceful, prosperous home, and one where thore seemed to be so much genuine happiness. "My friend said : 'IF it possiblo that you do not know this mal's story? He passed through such a trial as drives ninny mue1 nrazy. hiis life is a moral lesson.

When his heulth partially returned lie went to the minister of his church for counsA and advice. The minister toild him to aban don the woman to her fate. ''' You caunotbring her to my church," he said, "as your wife. Your neighbors will point the linger of scorn at you, and will shun you if you forgive her and take her to your home." " 'He went to a neighbor-a good man, a great-hearted man-and lIud the case beforo him. He argued for his lost wife, and pointed out what he thought his duty was as taught him by the Bible.

Some time ago the wife of a merchant was suddenly awakened in the night by e the sound of footsteps in her bedroom, a and the next momeut the light of a dprk lantern flooded p4r face so near that t she ooulc almost feel the heat and hear I the suppressed breathing of the intrud ter. Her husband ' was from home, and a the only other person in the houso ex a cept herself was a servant girl, who slept in the story beneath. Her presenco of I mind did not, however, forsake her. It y doubtless requires a great amount of I resignation and fortitude in a woman to e listen to, without screaming, the ran. g sacking of her store of valuable laces - and the appropriation of her jewelry; y but the lady, very rationally deemed her a life worth all the lace and dianionds in o the world, quietly closed her eyes and 'a awaited the result.. s The light was withdrawn from her . faco, and she heard the rustling of silks, e the picking of looks, and occasionally a i low whisper of surprise or disappoint ment, Then there was silence for a full r minute-it seemed an hour to her-and a soft. footstep approached the bed, and r the glare of the lantern again fell upon her faoo. Through the closed lids of 3 her eyes she saw the light, but remained ) calm and motionless in its scrutinizing rays, fearful that the least movement 3 might imperil her life. What a moment. of suspense I The light was removed from her face and she felt that sonic one r was loaning against the bed. Still she remained motionless. nor did she stir I when the warm breath of the burglar fanned her check. Not until his lips pressed her forehead did she spring up and half shriek: "Who is in this room?" i "hush I" responded a voice in a hoarse whisper. while a rough hand was laid on her shoulder: "Speak nothing and fear nothing." The next moment she heard the sound of retreating footsteps and the creaking of a shutter, then all was still again. Satisfied that she was alone she spran from tho led and touched a lighte<d match to the burner, thou sank into a chair, completely prosirated with the danger through which she had passed. lecovering le looked round to ascer tain of what she had been plunderd. Th. drawers were all in the utmost confusion, but., strange to say, little or nothing was missimg. A casket of jew. elry was open on the bureau, but the diniondo andi gold were all there. Bo. side the casket she discovered a little roll of paper containing a ring which had been given to her many years before, and which had beeu in her possession ever since. Half bewildered at the sin gular proceeding she was about to e,uit I he pal.p r from her when her eye caught the maiks of a pencil upon it. She care fully opened it and read: "This ring, which once was mine, tells me in whose house I am. You know I am an outlaw-the world knows it, and I do not care to deny it; but, fallen as I am, I cannot rob you, Maria, Forgive me and 'God bless you. "HENRY." This explained all. Falling on her knees, she prayed for him who had written the scroll. And who was "Henry?" Ten years ago lie loved that name Maria, and he wouid have made her his wife--for she had promised to be his had he not taken to drink and gambling and finally forged the name of his em ployer, for which he was given a hone in a convict prison When he was wn,r9., . her lbve ho gave her that ring, and she had kept it in remembrance of what lhe had been.

Of all men no donbt the mechanic and lnborer suffer more from disease than any altheer class-not always in tile disease itselfr, but the circumstances surrounding their naseis. Who can d'epict a more hoyrifying scene than that of the prosperous mechanic, who, by some dreadful disease, is reduced in flesh and strength, having no power of con trol, a helpless prey to some malady? Per baps the family of the worthy man may be muffering for the necessaries of life, all be sanse " father " iR unable to work. Why then do not all men grapple with the first symptoms of diseauQ (of whatever name r nature), and thereby prevent this sad pictue . This Is just what Mr. HIRAM FRANKLIN of N4augatuck, Conn., did when he began to keel i heavy, dull pain in the small of his back, which steadily grew worse antil he had to do anlo of two thmngs: either give up work or :he, or leek around for some means to cure kidne-, dn,asse, and a lucky chance threw in his may a sic and certain means of de liverainee.

Is now attending to business, a well man, and recently remarked to an acquaintance: "One trial eonvinced me, as It will you." We need scarcely add Hunt's Remedy is purely vegetable, and meets a want never before furnished to those suffering from kidney and liver complaint, Ieps,1etc. and the utmost reliance may be Iv men knew all that women think they would be twenlty times m,ore anda Cious.
