She did not turn as Arnim left. the room with an Auf Wiederschen! 11cr reply was scarcely audible. The little head renimied bowed over the flowers, the hand8 plucked nervously at the leaves. Armilin set his teeth. A wild Impatience surged through his breast. lie would faii have pressed this tender form to his tortured heart with the despairing cry: "have i then lost your confidence? Do you love this stranger bettor thar meP Vill you leave the house that once harbored your mother to go with him?" But. he saw that Marianne's eves rested upon him with a questioning glance, and controlling his emotion, he went silently. At noon a messenger appeared say ing that the doctor would not return until evening. Ussikow was found. He lay ill in the village of (Grunf('ld.

Marianne saw with concern that he grew graver and more reticent day, by day; and yet the children all knew him and aplroaehed him with the old time love and familiarity. His gener osity also caused the frugal cousin much uneasiness. One cold day he came home without his overcoat, say ing with a smile that he had met a poor man who necded it more than he. Marianne waited patiently and loyally fromi year to year, still hoping that the doctor's "hour" would come. With the lapso of time Ivan's mis doings became more open, and the list of opprobrious adjectives wn read to him almost daily. Katho grew old and gray in the house,still haunted by fears of pestilence and other dire calamities, and with a new source of trouble lest some evil might happen to the adored )esiree on her many journeyings. When 1)esirec and her husband were on their travels, frequent letters from them flew like white-winged birds over to the doctor's house. "We are happy" was their constant refrain to the incred ulous surprise of Marianne, who had prl)hsied trouble and had from year to year awaited that action for divorce which was sure to come. ''It isn't in the nature of things,'' she said, "for a man fickle as Ililmar Ussikow to get on with an ignorant child like Desireo, who does not know how to heel a stock ing or oversee a family baking." Later on, children's feet tripped through the doctor's garden, and a beautiful, radiant mother, with her hus band's arm around her, looked on smil ing as the great-uncle played ball with her little lads. The ball was the self same one Ilortense had thrown into the eyo of the young student. TiiiF.i n.I.. wAS TlIi~ S1E1F-SA MI ONEC. IIis lug. ar<hious day's work eided, oui Iu is1iai lo tot sleeps well.

"We are hero," said Mr. O'Connor, "as the representatives of the Irish people and of the Irish Parliamentary party, to ac knowledge the generous and valuable as sistance which our kindred in America have given us at home, and to explain to them that although things look gloomy at the present, yet they are so filled with hope that we are justilled in asking for a contin uance of the support given us in the past from America. The Irish people are in the fight and will stay in it until they winl." "When do you expect to h.ve a general election in Great Britain?" "From all indications I bclievc we will have a general election next spring. The result will be the eomplete annihilation of the Liberal-Unionist party, and the return of Mr. Gladstone to power. If we may judge from the last elections he will have a good working majority. Every month appears to add streigth to the home rule movement in England." "Will the Tory government enforce the coercion act in Ireland?'" "Now that they ale conniitted to it, I think they will enforce it. The Irish pen ple have now before them a period of great trial and great persecution." ''Will many of the Irish leaders be li pr isoned ?" "I believe there will be quite a numie of them imprisoned. The tre-itment. of Mr. O'Brien is an incident indicative ot the character of the administration, and of the mode in which they are prepared to exer cise the despot is powers which the coercion act has given them." ''What policy will the Irish National L4eague adopt in time face of c-oem cion?~" "'hey will advocate free speech, the right of public meeting, and combinations for all legal objects." The details of the trip of the Irish pa triots throughout this country have not been settled. h'ley will, however, go to Boston after the meet lig in this city, visit ing, also, other places in Massachusetts. From M'issachusetts they will pioceed to Philadelphia, after which a Western trip will be in order. The entire trip, which will take in Canada as well as tlie United States, will occUPy about three months. (From the rhiladelphia Thies. Oct. ) Philopatrian IIall was crowded last night at the meeting of the Municipal Council of the Irish National Leaguue. The perfecting of the arrangements for the recepticn to 'I'honias P. O'Connor and Sir Thouias G.

It was thought this hall would be too small, anil the committee was instructed to engage, it possible, Association Ilull for the same evening.

Thea Story of ai Poliey. Theli Valley Mutual Lifo Association, of Virginia, began business September 3d, 1878. (Ouaranteo fund, investedl in bonds and mortgages (first lien on real esitato), $108,000. The Valley Mutual Life Association of Virginia is the largest and time leading Life Association in the South. Over one million of dollars has been paid in cash to the families of deceased miem bers.. The cheapness of its plan is demon strated by the ex\perience of those who are inaured. in illustrationi of this fact~ we take Policy No. :3, held by Mr. WV. 1' Tias, Cashier of the Auguista N iational Bank, StaIunton, Va.,-Pohiey issued Septemh or 23, 11878,--$1 ,0t'0--conse quently it has shared every cost thait hams conic arainst the Company. The entire cost to M r. Tamis in eight years and s.ix months, Membership Fee, Annuals, and Mod ality p)aymnents, has been b)ut 870. -, or an averaige annual coat of 8M. 28. At the (dato of this insulrance Mr. 'Tamis was 27 years of age. A policy of even amount and dhde ini ono.of the most popular O1(ld Lie col.. pamies on the( ordinalry life pl'en, payabl' at death only, would have cost himi $192.75, or $21.50 per year-a saving of $122.31 in favor of the Valley Mutual.

When the police, followed by an immense crowd, came to the house of the Widow Bowles, thoy found it ytrongly barricad ed, and the inmates prepared- to mako stout resistance. . Boiling water was dashed upon the bailiffs and they wore several times com pelled to retire. They finally gained access'to the roof and demolished the chimney, tumbling the debris down into the fire. The burning coals were scat tered on the floor and the inmates were compelled to surrender. Seven persons were taken from the house and placed under arrest. The hostilo demeanor of the crowd alarmed the commander of the polico and he ordered his men to prepare to fire, whereupon Constablo HIanghoy de clined to obey the order, advanced a few paces from the ranks and throtn down his riflo. lie vill probably bo ar rested for refusing tc "l his duty. The story of Eve (o' Iing herself with leaves of figs was merely a fig-tier of speech. A L11an was so lelighted With aome sponge cake that he ate at a hotcl that lie went to a drui st>re antd lurch:scd a lot of sponges, taking them to his hone for his wife to make R ionge Cake out of. One Lived, the Other I)ied. A woman formerly our slave is now our cook. About eighteen months ago she )cenlme sickly and had a cough and was cornfined to bed, and it was thought that she had consumption. Tho treat menst by physicians failed to give relief. In December, 1884, a node or knot the size of a goose egg formed just above the pit of the stomach, which, when lanced, discharged matter for eight or nine months. One of those also formed under her arm, and three on her back, which discharged matter for a consider able time. For six months of this time she confined to the house, and most of the time in bed. The stomach often re fused food, by rejecting what she had eaten. She used a great deal of medi cine, but failed to be cured. I bought one bottle of your B. B. B. (made in Atlanta, (a.) and gave it to her and she commenced to improve. I then bought and gave her three bottles more, and she continued to improve, and in two months' time her cough had ceasod, her constitution strengthened, appetite and digestiou good, all discharges ceased, nodes or knots disappeared and she went to work apparently healthy and fattened up greatly. This woman had a married sister of near the same age who was affected in preisely the sa,me wiay aud about the same time. The had nodes or knots on pit of her stomach, back, etc. She did not take any B. B. B. and the node on her stomach ate through to the cavity. She Oonitiutld on the decline and wasted away, and tihmt"y died. These were t.vo terrible cases of blood poison-one nst d B. Ii. B. and wa speedily es ered. -thie other did not use it and di-d. It i:s most assuredly a mor wond; ful blood nriiier. I refer t< merehnts of this tou n. Yours truly, A~ SlIERLIF 1.lsLEASED.
