No one would have suspected that
Sofia wax a ehrew. She was of medium
height, with bright brown eyes and a
sweet face. These with a fine form and
charming manner made her much sought
after by the youni men of North iiaven
She chose to bestow her sweetest bihUm
on Julius Button, a whole souled. hardy
j ouuy sailor, and all thoae who sought
Sofia's hand 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.
Julius had accumulated a snug sum
of money and was disposed to take life
easily 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.
Although her husband played very
well. Sofia cared nothing for music and
deter.ted a violin above all things. For
a while she said nothing. Then she
would leave Julius and his violin and
would run over to one of the neighbor's
to spend the 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 simply 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
tle nature that never held malice and he
knew Sofia loved him. so he was patient
Hut all things must end some time, and
his patience was no exception to the
rule
ANG'-lt THAT CAUSED 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 manda
tory tone. Sofia became angrier as her
husband contitiued playing, and at last
shouted. "Julius, I want you to stop that
noise." But J alius only smiled and kept
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 worn-,
an's curiosity could not be restrained,
however, and she trembliugly asked
what it all meant.
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
the absent husband was not heard from
and 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 6pruug 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 yeara been
mourned as dead.
FOKTY YEARS 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 lif
ficulty and was ushered into the cabin
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
ognize 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 1 may
come to North Haven when I come back
from my next voyage."
An hour laer Button. Sr., was on his
way home, and Button, Jr., was on a
voyage to China. When he returned two
years later he learned that his father and ;
mother were dead. Sofia still occupies i
the old homestead, but Captain Button
has never seen her since they parted.

It is a curiosity in this town, no one hav-

FOR DEBILITY,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
Is a certain cure, when the complaint origi
nates in Impoverished blood. " I was a
preat sufferer from a low condition of the
blood and general debility, becoming finally,
so reduced that I was unfit for 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.
I take every opportunity to recommend this
medicine in similar canes." C. tvlck, 14 E.

Castoria.
"Castoria Is an excellent merliclr. for chil
dren. Mbers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children.'"
Da. G. C Oaoooo,
Lowell, Mass.
Castoria fa the best remedy for children of
whichIamacruwDted. I hope the day iamot
far distant when mothers willconsider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby jending
them to premature gTaves."
