But yet for our dead passion's sake.
Kiss me once more and strive to make
Our last ki?s the supremest oue;
For lovo is done.
Our love is done!
Anil still my eves with tears are wet,
Our souls aro stirred with vague regret;
>Ve gaze farewell, yet canuot speak.
And firm resolve grows strangely weak,
Though hearts are twain that once wei
one.
Since love is done.
But love is done!
I know if, vow it, an I that kiss
Must set n finis to our bliss.
Yet when I felt thy mouth meet mine,
My life again seeuie i half divine,
Our very hearts together run!

Can love be done?

AGAINST WIN!) AND TIDl
I5Y ANNA SUEILDS.
People in Maysville always sbruggc
>hcir shoulders when Mark Lamson wt
mentioned, and usually the cxpressi\
gesture was followed bj some dcprcci
ting remark.
"Comes of bad stock," old Judge Lot
uox would say, in his pompous dictator
ial manner. "All the Liaisons wcr
worthless, and Mrs. Lamson was
Hodge, and everybody kuows what the,
lire."'
The house in which Mark was borr
and win re lie scrambled up to manhood
was a large farm house, tumbling t<
piere? iuside, with a roof always beinj
patched against leaking, doors withou
locks and with shaking hinges, window
that rattled in every wind, ceilings th?
dtopped plaster whenever a heavy for
shook the upper rooms and furniture i
the last stage of shabbiness. Ilis fathc
ami mother were slatternly in dresj
shiftless in household management, am
the handsome, bright boy was over-in
dulg' d and neglected as their own irnlo
lence suggest oil.
Hut Mark Luuison inherited none c
the leading traits of his parents, Prol
ably in some remote ancestor there was
mixture of energy, resolution and ubilit
of which tin- Maysville gossips had neve
heard, and for which they certainly ga i
Mnrk no credit. It was in vain that tli
Principal of the Maysvillo High Schoc
declined that Mark had graduated wit
the best record he had ever given in th
school. It was useless for the lad htm
self to keep his life free from blame, am
earnestly endeavor to do bis dutj
Maysville could not forget that lie w.
.i ^auiMui, iiiut nis moinur was a 1 lo 1^?
?"bail stock!"
As lie passed from boyhood to nmr
hood, Mark began the unequal struggl
against fate and circumstances, that w;
dictated only by his own energy. II
father had been able to get bread froi
* the farm by a lazy tillage that gave tli
bare necessities for the table; his motlu
t ? had a very small income that gave th
three clothing of the poorest description
and both were in open-mouthed wontU
that Mark was not content, as they ha
been, *o dawdle through life and "inaK
out" with what thev had.
And Mark, si niggling to attain bettc
things, with only a vague, uudi>ciptiuc<
longing for improvement, met uo eu
couragemont at home or abroad. II
tried to obtain a situation, but employer
were shy about giving work to a Lamson
be met but a cool reception at the Mays
ville social gatherings, having no know]
edge of lio?v to repair his own linen c
keep Ids poor clothing even tidy. Bo\
like, lie imagined a new suit and ga
necktie were all sullieient for a part}
and did not heed the frayed cuffs an
broken collars at which the Maysvill
belles turned up their no es.
But, in spite of his father's lazy con
meuts,his mother's fretful rcmon '.ra ice;
Mark Lamson, finding no employ met
outside, determined to sec if the fan
would not tiin 1 him in 'v.n-L
"0!i, yes; do as you please," li
father said. l'Uui there is no inonc
for new fancied fixings, ami tlie Ian
is about worn out. Plenty of ic, to !j
sure, but hain't wortii shucks."
So, single-handed,Mark undertook til
work of bringing up the old farm. Karl;
and late he toiled,repairing fences, weed

di'l not walk in cautiously, counting hii
steps and weighing his chances, hot In
fell in plump, suddenly, hopelessly.
There had been a warm discussion a
the Judge's about inviting M irk to tin
party that to celebrate lissie'
eighteenth birthday an I lew I'm il retun
from boarding school. IJiiI the pet o
the huu-ehaJ a wiil of her owu and i
lively recollection fit' M irk's liandsom
fac and b.ivih gillnitrios, an I insist'-i
upon his being invite I. .Mark, carrying
in his memory only a pretty little girl
fruit! I himself confronted by an no loni
able beaut> ; a face to win homage in fa
more pretentious circles than Maysvilk
Roasted, ami a gentle gr.e of limine
none of flu- yifls of his acquaintance ha'
ever extended to him.
The touch of the soft little Iran'
oflore I to greet. him riveted the chain
Esmc'h face had ca-t about Mark's heart
and ma do him her slave then and there
He had starved all his life for sympathy
and his first half-hour with Kssic f\llc<
his iougtug heart with conteut. She re
membered all his boyish aspirations; sh
entered into all his hope* and ambition*
The party was the beginning of an intci
course that stimulate I anew every ?ou
resolution, gave a new vigor to ever
hope of Mark's life.
The village was essentially democratic
and the fact that ifesio was the onl
child and heiress of the richest, most in
fluential man in the place did imt, proven
her from visiting Mrs. Lamsou upo
terms of perfect equality. Sho was fon
of the weak, amiable woman, strongly a
?he cenaured, in her youthful strengtr
the easy-going indoleuce that uiade hei
houie such a scene of coufusion and discomfort;
uud, iu her gentle, pleasant
way, she endeavoured to brighteu that
home for Mark by suggestions and o.Iors
of help that fell to the ground. It \va?
like lighting a feather bed to try to roust
Mrs. Lauisou to an active improvement,
ami lebullcd there, Essie could only help
TMnrk by words of sympathy that were
like wiue of life to his love.
Au hour with Essie sent him back to
his uphill work full of new hope, every
energy stimulated, every hope brightre
ened. He had uot dared to set boforo
him in plain words the hope of one day
winuing her heart t# his owu, for there
was all the humility of true passion in
that young, ardent heart, but he realized
a new force, n new spur to ambition.
Essie never sneered at him as the
neighbors had become accustomed to
doing; Essio never threw cold water
over his plans for improving the land;
Essie was never sarcastic over the clashing
of his povery and his ambitions. As
be saw her more frequently, lie ventured
to tell her of wider, wilder hopes, of
some day escaping froiu t lie drudgery
before him, uud making his way to a
city, where his education might give
hi 11 a start ill more congenial occupation.
"Father and mother seem to need me,
i^, now," he told Essie, one day; "they are
old, and they have no other child. I
think it is my plain duty to stay."
"I think it is," was tlie quick reply;
d "your mother could scarcely bear a sepals
ration."
'0 "And while I am here, I must do tho
t- work that lies under my baud," Iio said,
"hard as it is! Bur Essie," and his face
i- brightened, "do you know that already
I have made the farm |>;ty double what
o it has ever done. Next spring I cm
? hire help out of money I save I from the
y sale of last ycat's crops!"
Essie, all eager interest, entered into
i, discussion of tlie capabilities of such a
I, lot for turnips, suc.h a patch for wheat,
J the possibilities of a dairy, the best cul'?
ture for fowls, as if she had never
t studied music or iilled her head with
s French and German verbs,
d I<ut the horror and wrath oi Judge Lend
uox, when, after two years of mild court >
ship, Mark took his fate in his hands and
r isked permission to marry Essie, cannot
'? be described.
>' "A Lamson!" he cried, when having
dismissed M irk lie returned to the
oosom of his family. "A Lamson for
Essie's husband! The fellow wauts
d my money to spend alter all his father
> and his grandfather have .squandered."
a "I)o you really and truly think Mark
y is a spoil ithrift, papa?" Essie asked
r quietly. "Does lie ever lounge about
c the stores or taverns, as Harry Carter
e and James Itaybum do!
>1 "1?Well, no, I never saw him," was
h the reluctant admission,
e "Did you ever hear that he drauk or
i- gambled, or oven smoked? '
a
"X-o?I never did. '
j.. "Is he not regular at church?"
e "Yec?."
"But, oil, Essie!" struck in Mrs, Lennow
"Whit shabby, half-washed
[0 shirts he wears, and Ills fingers all out

n "Poor Mark!" said Essie, geutly. "lie
1C needs a wife."
.( "Well, he need not look here for
e one,"' growled the Judge.
, "I heard Mr. Thompson say, last
.{ week," sai I Es.sie, (j'.iietly,"that there is
,j not a better farm in fircone County than
e Louson's." .*
"Such :t palace of a house!" the
r Judge sneered.
I "Mark is hoping to put a new house
lm >n (lie place, next year, lie has hi 1
builders over from Ii , but they say
3 the ol 1 hon e is beyond repair, aud it
would cost less to hive a new one."
"And where is the money to come

"Where the improved farm came
from," said Essie; "from M irk's industry,
perseverance and energy, in the face
r of the liar lest di e nir.igemunts ever a
I young til.in had to right."
"I'ih!" .sail the Judge. "What?
" What?"
"See what he lias done," said Essie,
still in an even, ouiot tone that carried
^ conviction far more than ail excited one.

Tlio Chileans are Poor Uiinncra. .
There has been so much talk about
Chile's ability to strike heavy bl >ws in
case of war with the United States that
the results of observations of their work
during the recent trouble will be interesting
at this time. In the capture of
Valparaiso the Cougrossioualist squadron
played no part worthy of mention. The
Ustneralda, Cochrane, Aconcagua and
O'lliggins, all armed with heavy Armstrong
rifled guns, did not attempt to
engage Forts Pratt and Callao at the entrance
of the harbor, but inauagod to
keep well out of range. At Iquique they
kept live miles out to sea and not a shell
fell in the town.
When Admiral Brown was asked how
Chile compared with America in ease of
war, he laughed an 1 said: "This is the
biggest ship, except the Biltimnre and
Warspite, we saw in Chilean waters, and
the Chilean war vessels could not cope
with our vessel?."
An officer on the ship who In 1 carofully
observed the operation of the
Chilean vessels said: "I never saw such
poor gunnery. Why, at 200b yards I
saw the Cochrane keep up a tire on the
fort at Vinda del Mar, and not a shot
struck the fort, which, by the way. is a
very extensive work and offers u large
target. When the four Congressional
vesels were firing at Fort Callao the fort ,
was struck but half a dozen times out of
bbl) shots. Nearly every shot and shell
tell short, sonic of them as much as half
a mile. All the talk about the Ksmernldu
coining up to San Francisco and
standing out of the reach of the suns on
the heights back of Fort Point and dropping
shells in the city is the variest rubbish.
Her guns have 110 such range.

By loca! explications, ns thoy cannot reach tha
diaeawl |>ort ion of the ear. Tliero Is only ona
way to euro deafness, nn?l that is by constitutloual
remedies, Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of tha
Eustachian Tube. When this tube seta In.
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it la entirely closed,
deafness Is the result, and Unless the Inflammation
can bj taken out and thia tube restored
to Ita normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine casca out of ten are '
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
