A FLORIDA ROMANCE.
A Grim lloniehoid skeleton which love and
F ors venoe urlce
One day during the progress of the
Phil Thompson trial one of the Florida
Senators, who had remained in Wash
ington a greater part of the time sinco
Congress adjourned, told a group of
gentlemen the story of an incident that
came under his observation, which in
all probability, has not its parallel in
history or fiction.
"When a candidate for the United
States Senate," lhe said, "in compaiy
with ten or a dozen other gentlemen, I
canvassed the State of Florida from one
end to the other. Just atdusk one evening
we arrived at a farm-house of rather pro
tentiita appearance. We were warmly
welcomed by the owner, who was known
at im ast to one of the party. We woro
served with a splendid supper, at which
we were waited upon by t.he farmer's
daughters- threo bright, beautiful girls.
The farmer occupied one end of the
tablo and his wife, an elderly lady, with
snow white hair and a benevolent face,
the other. I was at onco attracted by
the ariability of the family. They were
very cheerful and apparently very
anxious to make each other very happy.
Tho greatest regard was paid to the
mother, and no opportunity 'ii lost to
show respect and devotion to her.
"When the time came for retiring the
farmer took from a shelf an old, well
tlumbhed Bible antd said :
" 'Gentlemen, for nearly a score of
years it, has beenl iy habit to have family
torship beforo retiring. I hopo you will
jomll ns to-night.'
"TTo read a chapter from the Bible,
and we all- knelt while lie made a short.,

were noticeablle. When we rode away

-A MIDNIGHT IRECO(NITION.
Some time ago the wife of a merchani
was suddenly awakened in the night by
the sound of footstops in her bedroom,
and the next moment the light of r
dark lantern flooded hpr face so near thai
she could almoat feel the heat and heni
the suppressed breathing of the intrud
er. Her husband was from home, an
the only other person in the houso ex
copt herself was a servant ;irl, who slep
in the story beneath. Her presence o'
mind did not, however, fortako her. I
doubtless requires a great amount o
resignation and fortitude in a woman t<
liston to, without screaming, the ran
sacking of her store of valiablo lacee
and the appropriation of her jewelry
but the lady, very rationally deemed hei
life worth all the lace and diamnds ii
the worl, quietly closed her eyes an
awaited the result.
The light was withdrawn from he:
face, and she heard the rustling of silkv
the picking of leeks, and occasionally t
low whisper of surprise or disappoint
ment, Then there was silence for a fuil
minute--it soemed an hour to her-am
a soft footste p approached the bed, anm
the glare of the lantorn again fell utpoil
her face. Through the closed lids o
her eyes she saw the light, but remaine<
calm and motionless in its scrultinizinf
rays, fearful that the least movemen
might imperil her life. What a monen
of suspense I The light was rcmovec
from her face and she felt that some om
was leanitig against the bed. Still sh
remained m-)tiolessR, nor did she stih
when the warm breath of the burglai
fanned her cheek. Not until his lipi
pressed her forehead did she spring ui
and half shriek:
"Vho is in this room?"
''hush 1" resaponded a voice in t
hoarse whisper, while a rough hml a wa:
laid on her shoulder: "Speak nothint
and fear nothing."
'Thi'e next mioienit she heard thosonni
of retreating footstepsH and the creakinE
of a shutter, then all was still again.
Satisfied that she was alone she sprang
from tIhe bed and touched a lighte<
match to the lburner, then sank into a
chair, completely prostrated with the
danger through which she had passed.
Recovering she looked round to ascer
tain or what she had been plunderd.
Tio. drawers were all m the utmost
confusion, but, strange to say, little or
nothing was mi siig. A casket of jew
elry was open on the bureau, but the
diannmda anti gold were all there. Re
side the casket she diwcover4'd a little
roll of paper containing a ring which had
been given to her many years before,
and which had been in her possession
ever since. Half bewildered at the sin
gular proceediug she was about !o east
the papi r from her when her cyo caught
the nl kbs of a pencil upon it. She care
fully opened it and read:
''This ring, which once was mine,
telis me in whoso house I am. You
know I am an outlaw-the world known
it, and I do not care to deny it; but
fallen as I am, I cannot rob you, Maria,
Forgive me and Glod bless you.
"IJFNnY."
This explained all. Falling on her
knees, she prayed for himt who had
written the scroll. And who was
"Henry ?"
Ten years ago he loved that name
Maria, and ie w(uld have made her his

and she had kept it in remembraneo of

of the ring.

A Luacky Chance.
Of all meni no doubt thte mechanic and
laborer suffer more from discose thtan any
othter claa-not always in thte disonaso itself,
but the circumnstanaces surrounding thtoir
cases. Whlo can d'opict a more hoyrifying
scene than that of the prosperous mechanic,
who. by seome dreadful disease, is reduced in
flesh and strcngth, having no power of con
trol, a he!lpless prey to some amalady? Per
haps the family of the worthy man may be
suffering for the necessaries of life, all bo
camme "~ father " is unable to work.
Why then do not all men grapple with the
first symptoms of daseas* (of whatever name
or nature), and thereby prevent this sad
picture.
Tthis Is just what Mr. HrSaix FnIANKLIN, of
Naugatuck, Conn., did when he began to feel
a heavy, dull pain in the small of his back,
which steadi ly grew worse until he haad to do
one of two things: either give up work or
die, or look around for some means to cuiro
kidney disease, and a lucky chance threw in
his way a safe and certain means of do
hiverance.
TIhe facts, in Mr. F.'s c.a.so are thcse: is
business (mason and builder) requIres him
to be eaxposed in all sorts of weather. Re
ceantly, from a severe cold, he contracted a
disease of the kidneys, and like many others
began using everything at hand. Not find
mtg tany help, as a last resort he began taking
Hiant's Iteady. The first bottle giving de
cided benefit, he contInued Its use until ho
had used three (3) bottles, when all trouble
disappeared. Mr. F. Is now attending to
business, a well man, and recently remarked
to an acquaintance: "One trial convinced
me, s It will you." We need scarcely add
Hunt's Remedy is purely vegetable, anti
