Captain ISatton's Happy MrrU( with
the llelle of North Haven Maujr Years
Ago Why the Cozy Home ffu flrwlreo
L'p and the Hatband Is a Wanderer.'
No one would bave 6uspected that
Sofia was a ehrew. She was of medium
height, with uncut brown eyes aud a
sweet face. These with a fine form and
charming manner madelier much sought
after by the young men of North Haven
She chose to bstow her sweetest euiiles
on Julius Button, a whole souled. hardy
younjr bailor, and all those who sought
Sofia's band felt a pang of envy when
Julius led her to the altar.
The young couple settled down to the
humdrum life of the small village in
which both had been born and reared.
For a time they were as happy as ever
two young people who seemed made for
each other could be.
juiiiiH naa accumulated a snug sum
of money and was disposed to take life
easjly The apple of his eye was his
wife. Next in his affection was his
violin, and with those two for company
he was content to spend his evenings at
home.
Aitnougn ner busbana played very
well. Sofia cared nothing for music and
detested a violin above all things. For
a while she said nothing. Then she
would leave Julius and hte violin and
would run over to one of the neighbor's
to spend fhe evening. It dawned upon
Julius that the strains he drew from his
violin were not appreciated by his wife
Then Sofia began to show that beneath
a sweet exterior there lay smoldering a
fiery temper that when once let loose
was Bimply ungovernable, and violent
outbursts on her part became more and
more frequent.
Julius bore it all uncomplainingly, for
he loved his wife dearly. His was a- gen
tie nature that never held malice and he
knew Sofia loved him, so he was patient
But all things must end some time, and
his patience was no exception to the
rnle
ANUKIt THAT CACSED SORROW.
One afternoon Julius went home and
picked up his violin. He had drawn the
bow but a few times before Sofia ex
claimed. '1 wish you would stop that
noise.
Julius paid no heed to the request
which had been made in such a tnanda
tory tone. Sofia became angrier as her
husband continued playing, and at last
shouted. "Julius, 1 want you to stop that
noise." But Julius only smiled andjcept
on playing. Sofia grew livid with rage,
and seizing a pan of water threw it into
Julius' face.
Then her husband put away his violin
and left the house. In the evening he
came back and began packing up his
clothing. Sofia had recovered from her
paroxysm of anger and was willing to be
forgiven, but did not ask it. Her wom
an's curiosity could not be restrained,
however, and she tremblingly asked
what it all ueant.
The only reply her husband vouchsafed
was that he had shipped on a vessel
bound for Virginia after a load of oysters.
Days and weeks and months passed and
thel absent husband was not heard trora
ant Sofia went to live with her hus
band's parents.
One day thirty-five years later the elder
Button read of the arrival in New York
of the United States brig Bainbridge,
Captain Julius Button. Hesaid nothingof
the great hope that had sprung up in his
breast, but hastened to New York, only
to find that the brig had sailed a few
hours before. But his journey was not
altogether fruitless, for he learned that
the captain of the Bainbridge was his
own son. It lifted a heavy load from
the old man's heart, although he felt
keenly his disappointment at not seeing
his son, who had for many years been
mourned as dead. .'
FORTY TEARS LATER.
Sadly the old man returned to his
home in North Haven. From that time
he became a close reader of the news
papers and at last, four years later, his
vigilance was rewarded. He read: "The
United States brig Bainbridge, Captain
Button, is expected to arrive at the
Brooklyn navy yard tomorrow." Once
more the old man journeyed to the
metropolis. He found the brig with dif
fioulty and was ushered into the cabir
to await, the captain, who was on shore.
Captain Button looked curiously at
the gray haired old man whom he had
been told wished to see him, but did not
recognize him. . Nor did the father rec
ognixe his son. Slowly the old man told
his errand.
"1 am Captain Button, sir," responded
the captain.
Don't you know me. Julius? I am
your father."
It was a very affecting meeting, and
when it was brought to a close the father
asked "tremulously, "Julius, what shall 1
tell mother?"
Captain Button hesitated for a mo
ment, then, without replying to the ques
tion, he asked, "Where is Sofia?"
. "She still lives with us."
"Then you may tell mother that I may
come to North Haven when I come back
from my next voyage."
An hour later Button. Sr., was on his
way home, and Buttdto, Jr., was on a
voyage to China. W hen he returned two

mother were dead. Sofia still occupies I
the old homestead, but Captain Button
has never seen her since they parted.

plant by Mrs. Judge Chesnut. It i3
called the "snake plant," and is an oddi

flower of dark purple color, with a single

I was a constant sufferer from dyspepsia
ana liver complaint 1 doctored a long
time and the medicines prescribed, in nearly
every case, only axKntvatod the disease.
An apothecary advised me to use Ayer's
Sarsaparllla. J did so, and " was cured
at a cost of 99. ttuico that time It lias
been my family medicine, and sickness has
become a stranger to our household. I
believe it to be the bent medicine on earth.'
I'. K. McNulty, Ilackiuaa, ' bummer U,
Lowell, Mass.
FOR DEBILITY,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
Is a certain cure, when the complaint origi
nates in Impoverished blood. " I was a
great sufferer from a low condition of the
blood and general debility, becoming finally,
so reduced that I was unfit far work. Noth
ing that I did for the complaint helped mo
so much as Ayer's Sarsaparilla, a few bottles
of which restored me to health and strength.
1 take every opportunity to recommend this
medicine in similar cases." C. Evick, H E.
Iain st, Chlllicothe, Ohio.
FOR ERUPTIONS
And an disorders originating in impurity of
the blood, such as boils, carbuncles, pimples,
