Probably you would have given her credit for nothing hut sweetness. You would have declar ed her a lovable piece of loveliness. She had such mihi blue eyes, such a good naturcd, dimpled chin, that, the thinness of her lips, indicating firmness, was easily overlooked. llcr name was Ruth Rand. To Fred ihiilcy it was the dearest in all the world. If you had seen her sit ting, with her head on Fred's should er, you would have guessed that she entertained the same opinion of his mime. She had loved'him long. Site mado no effort to conceal her happiness when ho told her his heart's secret. Aa naturally as a river toward the ocean, her love turned toward his loyo and gave itself away. Fred was a thoroughly good fel low, worthy of this little woman. We could say nothing stronger in praise of him ! Ruth was past Iwcnty-onc. Her parents had died when she was a child. Her uncle, Michael .Rand, had been her guardian up to the time of her niatu rity. She still lived with him, and submitted to his authorit}'. This by force of habit. There arc some natures whose free dom from obstinacy is often mis taken for want, of fii mncss?their dis like of conlliet for weakness. When great occasions arise they surprise us by their determination. Such a one was Ruth Rand. Al though she said "yes" to Fred with out reservation, she thought it well to ohm in her urfcle'a consent to the union. Fred being a sensible fellow agreed with her Mi i her of them understood Mi chael Kami Fred know little of him goo I or had. and tu Ruth ho had al ways been kind enough?she had he\ T thwarted hint. lie was a short', thick-set man, had ciiiirse features and a recoiling Ibro bosiil. His soul was so small its to he hardly worth mentioning. Ho know no law but bis own will. Uncom promisingly selfish, bo would obtain bis (Mid. though he purchased it with broken hearts; lie had made up bis mind that Ruth should marry a certain gentle man of his choice?-a man, by the way, closely resembling himself in all particulars. So when Fred Bailey asked him for Ruths' hand, it was the old story of an old head wdth no sympathy for young hearts, lie hot only refused, but ordered Fred out of the house, forbidding him to enter it again. This proceeding ,astonished Ruth as much as it did her lover. She told him, however, that they could wait, that time would soften he uncle. As lie kissed her good bye, it was with her promise that if Michael Rand did not yield within a year, she would marry Fred "in spite of all the crabbed old uncles in the world." Tho next six months was a eompnign whicli Fred took no pari , lor he saw Ruth but seldom. This campaign was generald by licr and her uncle. They surprised each iit her. Ruth discovered what a hard head - cd, hard-hearted old sinner Michael Rand was, he, what a strong-willed little woman she had proved to he. ric? unimpressible old brute?had resisted all her powers of persuasion; she?bravo heart?had refused with scorn the gentleman of his choice. Such was the condition of affairs at tho end of tin* six months. The niece as quietly determined, the uncle as obstinate as ever. It was winter, and tho ground covered with snow. Ruth Rand sat at the window, watching the speeding sleigh, and listening to the merry niusio^of the bells. Looking up tho road, she saw her uncle in his hand some sleigh, behind his fastest horses, coming toward the house. For tho first time since she waa a child she trembled at the look upon his i'acc. Sbo know not it3 cause, bu t it was devilish in its wicked triumph, and idio feared it. She had seen it many years before, when he had heard of the death of a man who had stood in his path. When he stopped before the door and saw her at tho window, ho leer ed. Without stopping to put up the horse and sleigh, he strode int o the room and stood before her laughing. , It was not that pleasant laugh which sends the blood of the listener dancing through his veins, till in sheer sympathy he echoes it as loudly. It was such a laugh as ill becomes a mat) to have upon his face or sounU ing from his lips?uglier than a sneer, more terrible than a threat. The base nature of this man stood revealed before her in all its black ness as he said, chuckling : "My obstinate Ruth, you will never marry Fred Bailey, for he is dying." There was no effort to soften the blow", there was no pity for her in his heart. There is lightning in the sky, and such men are not struck dead. Oh, little Ruth, bear up; be not weak before this monster 1 'A friend was showing him a pis tol,' he went on, unsparingly 'and by its accidental discharge Fred Bailey was wounded. It's all up with him He's made his last love speech, my dear !' A pleasant fellow, this Michael , Rand. With a scorn of him that reddened her face and quivered her voice, she asked: ' Where is he now ?' - 'A good five miles away, my deal ?in Langd on's house, on Black Hill.' Without as much as another glance at him, Ruth left the room, but in a moment was back again, hooded and shawled. She bad passed him, gbha out at the door and sea ted herself in the sleigh before ho under stood her intention. Quickly follow ing her, just as she was about to start he sei/.cd the horse's bridle. 'What arc you going to do ?'he asked, with set teeth. 'I am going to see Fred,' she answered, quietly. 'What then ?' 'I lira going to marry him. If he dies, it shall be as my husband.' He tightened his grip upon the bridle as he exclaimed : 'You shall not!' All disguise was useless. They looked into each other's eyes?a de termined woman against an obstinate, unscrupulous man. 'Let go!' she said, menacingly, but be heeded not. She spoke to the horse, but her uncle's hold made it useless. She took the whip from its stock. Thoroughly roused . now, and as desperate as lit; was, she exclaimed : '1 say again, let go !' lie only laughed. Up in the air went the whip?down again upon the hand that held the bridle, leaving a livid welt. With an path Michael Rand .qnung back, and, as the horse star led, Ruth looked behind her and saw licr uncle shaking his first at her in impotent rage. She drove for a couple of miles at ti break neck speed At that distance from her home there Iivj<1 a young minister, a good friend of both Fred and herself. That you jig clergyman had never been hurried out of his house and into a vehicle in stich quick time be fore; but it seemed an age to Ruth. .She did not even give him time to listen to an explanation of her strange conduct. Kot until they were in the sleigh and flying along tho snow did ho understand the situation; then he was the right man in tho right place. He was not a timid follow, this country par-son. Ho didn't care the snap of Iiis finger for Michael Rand's wrath. ?Ruth,' he said,'I'll marry you to Ti ed Bailey in spite of a thousand uncles!' It was a straight jroad upon which they were driving. \Thcy looked be hind them, KuU? aw her ancle fol lowing. , He had borrow* & sleigii. His legal authority over her was ended; but she knew ig^n? desperation he would dare anything to prevent the marriage. Ruth breathed a great sigh of re lief when, on arrtvTwg at Lihgdon's house, she saw that Utc uncle was far behind. ? i As she entered die room where Fred lay, for tho tijjjj. time weakness came upon her. NoiV that much o( the excitement of th)> post half hour was gone, she was 'ace to face with her sorrow. She had triumphed for the moment, but Courage could not save her dying lover;/*? She trembled as fcjie. opened the door of his room. j^Fh'ere was Mr. Langduii"and the dj^tor. Without hesitation, she steppt?^to Fred's bed side and kissed him.>rj, His wound preveui^liim from put ting his arms aro^uM her, but he whispered : . i 'My darling!' ''M The report of the d:$?ger'of Fred's condition h;ul been exaggerated, the drfctor said. Ho might die, but his case was by no means hopeless Ruth had told them why she had come. Fred was delighted?was cer tain that with such a dear little wife as nurse he would soon get well. The doctor?jolly old dog!-|?aid it would be just the thing. j Ruth took Fred's Jiand in hers, and that quiet mfnisttVwith a stout heart commenced the t^eemony. ?By this time Miujjiiel Rand hml rrived, and ..lhc?l?$?^V.\r3 ci.a:pe voice inquiring the way to the sui k man's loom. At Ruth's request^ the doctor turned tho key in the door. Soon at that door Michael Rand wa? pounding for admittance. The d >c tor tohl him it would bo oppncrl whmi the martinge Wits complete.1, where upon the enraged man us-.id S utio very bad language. IIb tried to fo eb the door open by throwing his ho ly against it. It was of good stout jak, and though tlio house shook, resisted well. When Fred Bailey and Ruth Ran i were man and wife, past al 1 remedy, they lcthiui in. Walking straight to the young clergyman, and exclaiming, 'You are the ministerial sneak that did this !' ho slapped him in the face, whore it the parson promptly knocked him down. Fred Bailey did hot die. Although many years have passed since that winter's day, there is no happier couple on the globe than he and Ruth. Michael Rand still lives. He is a miserable old man, without a love to ding to. Rather Got Him. 'Here I am again. Sit still, sit still. Don't try to get away. N. y. ?no use?you know. Did you ever hear of anybody getting away from a life insurance agent ?' 'No, I never did,'said tho victim ivith a sign of despair. 'No, )'ou never did.

At a laic mee ting of the TTa' viah Soci< ly, of London, Dr. Farqnharson read it paper on this subject. Attention was directed to the state of the tongue in dyspepsia. A deeply fissured tongue often meant little: w heron.s a thin while fur, composed of minute dotes, was generally found along with pain immediately after food. Pain after a longer interval was accompanied by a pa'c, flabby tongue, with reddish tip and ecu tor. the treatment of dyspepsia consisted of two ) arts, thai of food and that of drugs. The latter was the principal part with patients applying for gratui tous relief. The pain occurring im mediate')' after food was usually re lieved by a'ka?es; whereas acids wore indicated where sullen ng was not ex perienced until an hour or two after I the commencement of the digouivc act. For the rclicfof the nausea ami sickness remaining aller tho bowels were thoroughly cleansed, nothing was so effectual as hourly drop doses of ipeca-juai.ha wine. Nux voniica was also a valuable remedy. Pain might be but the protest of the st.en | ach against an overload, or be the. result of deficient tone from general nervous exhaustion, in some cases each meal was followed by diarrhoea; and for these cases attention was di rected to Ringer's plan of minute doses of the liquor hydrugyri perchlor iiii. In speaking ol diet, Dr. Fur quliarsoti pointed out that there are three forms of dyspepsia : 1. Tie: dys pepsia of fluids,-?s it is called, where the stjmacb seems intolerant of all forms of fluid; 2. The digestive do ra ligomon t s follow in g i ntemperance in the matter of animal food; and 3. The dyspepsia connected with indulg ence in tea, or other warm and weak infuaioiis of tannin. Four Widows.
