But on etep more adown life's rugged road,
One lingering step, and then I will be free,
And far behind will leavo this heavy load
Of aching heart anl stinging mockery.
But one link more hus now to bend and brcak,
And thcn the elhain of life will be undue;
But one night more, and then 1 will awake
t Upsthero whore life has only Jcst begun.

with ia sense of relief at his distanco
from Desiree.
Oin the morning of the four-th day

As he thus spoke ho glanced' at
Desiree, who had risen noiselessly and
was attending to the flowers on the
window-ledge. 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.

and became a standard authority.
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.

O'Connor In New York.
(Speeial in Phlladelphk Times.)
Nsw Yoinu, October .-Sir Thomas
Grattan Esmonde and Arthur O'Connor,
both members of Parliament, arrived hero
to-day in the Arizona. There was a big
delegation of well-known Irishmen on the
pier to meet them. They were escorted to
the Hoffman House, where they are to re
main for a time.
"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.

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.

He Refused to Fire.
DUBLIN, October 5.--E ictions were
continued at Oweedore to day. 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

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<
