CITY PROPERTY II SALE
Till: ORDKAL OF I.OVK.
Adolphe and Celeste wore lovers
the course of true love uever did
run smooth, and it was interrupted
iu theirs by cruel parents, who had
different views for their children.
Adolph. , in despair, takes poison,
but th.- in euiinn of stomach-pumps
prevented his desperate purpose,
aud he recovers. Celeste had the
poison iu her hand, and was iu the
,act ot raising it to her lips when her
.mother discovers her. The story
thus proceeds :
Whatever the exaggerations of our
lovers they loved fervently, disin
terestedly, and with all their hearts.
Not one in ten thousand love is so
strong or promises to be so laRtiug.
Adolphe did not die antidotes
were given iu time he recovered.
The illness of Celeste was mote
dangerous. She suffered, poor child,
a delirious fever, and it was several
weeks before her life aud reason
were restored.
No parents could stand all this;
ordinary caprices it is very well to
resist, but when young people take
to poison and delirious fevers il
fuut ceder Uesides, such event?
derange one's comforts. One is
always glad to come to terms when
one begins to be annoyed with one's
self. The old people then made it
ii, aud the young people were
married.
As the bridegroom and Celeste
were convinced that the sole object
of lilt was each other's rompaux,
they hastened at once to the sweet
solitudes of the country. They had
a charming villa aud beautiful gar
den ; they were both accomplished,
clever, amiable, young, and in love.
How was it possible they should he
susceptible to ennui? They could
never, bear to loose sight of each
other.
'All, Adolphe traitor where hast
thou been?'
'Merely shooting in the woods, my
angel.'
'What, and without me? Fie!
Promise this shall not happen again.'
'Ah. dearest, too gladly I promise.'
Another time:
What, Celeste! three hours have
I been seeking for you ! Where
have you hid yourself?'
'Don't look so angry, my Adolphe ;
I was only directing the gardener to
build a little arbor for you to read
in. I meant it as a surprise.'
'Mv own Cele.ste! thre6 lioura it
is an eternity without yon ! Prom
ise me not to leave me again without
telling me where to find yon.'
'My own dearest Adolphe! how I
love you may my company be ever
as dear to you !'
This mode of life is very charming
with many tor a few days. Adolphe
and Celeste loved each other so en
tirely that it lasted several months.
What at lirst was passion had grown
habit, and each bhuupd tiie other for
waut of affection, if he or she over
indulged in the novelty of different
pursuits.
As they had nothing to do but to
look at those faces they had thought
ao handsome, so it was now and then
difficult not to yawn ; and of late
there had been little speeches like
the following:
Adolphe, my love, you never talk
to me put down that odious book
you are always reading.'
'Celeste, my angel, you don't hear
me. I am telling you about my
travels, and you gape in my face.'
'My dear Adolphe, I am so ex
ceedingly sleep).'
One morning, as Adolphe woke
aud turned iu his bed, his eyes rest
ed upon his wife, who was still
asleep 'Bless me,' thought he, 'I
never saw this before, let me look
again yes, certainly she has a wart
on her chin !'
Adolphe rose aud dressed himself.
Adolphe was grave and meditative.
They met at breakfast the bride and
bridegroom. Celeste was in high
spirits; Adolphe was sombre and
dejected.
'Let us ride to-day,' said Celeste.
'My dear, I have a headache.'
'Poor child ! well, then let us read
the new poem.'
'My dear, you talk so loud.'
'I!' and Celeste gazing reproach
fully on Adolphe, perceived for the
first lime something in his eye that
surprised her. She looked again
'Good heavens !' she said to herself,
Adolphe squints!'
It is impossible to say what an
effect this fata! discovery had on
Adolphe. lie thought of it inces
santly. He bad nothing else to
complain of but then warts on the
chin are certainly not becoming.
Celeste's beauty had improved
greatly siuce her marriage. Adolphe
saw Hothing but the wart upon her
chin. Her complexion was more
brilliant, her form more perfect, her
walk more majestic; but what is all
this, wheu one has a wart ou the
chin? The wart seemed to grow
bigger and bigger every day to
Adolphe's eye it threatened speedily
to absorb the whole face! Nay, he
expected in due time to see his
beautiful Celeste all wart! He
smothered his pain as well as he
could, because he was naturally
woll-bred and delicate; aud no
woman likes to be told of the few
little blemishes she is blind to her
self. He smothered his pain, but he
began to think it would be just as
wel! to have separate rooms.
Mean while, strange to say,
Adolphe's squint grew daily more
decided and pronounced. 'Ho cer
tainly did not squit before we were
married,' thought Celeste ; 'it h very
unpleasant it makes oue ao fidgety
to be stared at by a person who sees
two ways and Adolpho has, unfor
tunately, a habit of staring. I think
I might venture to hint, delicately
and kindly, that the habit can't yet
be incurable.'
As wives are always first in the
emulation of fault-finding, Celeste
resolved to haztrd the hint on the
first favorable opportunity.
'Well, my Celeste, I have brought
my dog to see you,' said Adolphe,
one morning.
'He! down, down! Pray turn
him out ; sec the mark of his paws.
I can't bear dogs, Adolphe.'
'Poor thing!' said Adolphe, caress
ing his insulted favorite.
'Was that to me, or the dog?' ask
ed Celeste.
'Oh ! to him to be sure.'
'1 beg your pardon, my dear, but I
thought you looked at me. Indeed,
Adolphe, if truth may be said, you
have lately contracted a bad habit
you are gctliug quite a cast iu your
eye.'
"'Madame!' said Adolphe, prodi
giously offended, and hurrying to
the glass.
'Don't bo angry my love; I would
not have mentioned it if it did not
get worse everv day ; it is yet time
to be cured, I am sure; just put a
wafer on the top of your nose, and
you will soon see straight.'
'A wafer on the top of my no?p!
Much better put one at the top of
your chin. Celeste.'
'My chin?' cried Celeste, running
in turn to the glass. 'What do you
moan, sir?'
'Only that you have a very large
wart there, which it would be more
agrpeable to conceal.'
Sir?'
'Madame !'
A wait on my chin, monster!'
'A cast in my eye, fool !'
'Yes! How could I ever love a
man who squinted!'
'Or I a woman with a wart on her
chin ?'
'Sir, I shall not condescend to
notice your insults. No wonder
you can't see! I pity your infirmity.'
'Madam, I despise your insinua
tions; but since you deny the evi
dence of your own glass, sufler me
to send for a physician, and if he
can cure your deformity, so much
the better for yon.'
'Yes, send for a physician ; he will
say whether you squint or uot. Poor
Adolphe! I am not angry; no, I
pity so melancholy a defect.'
The doctor could not very well
see whether Adolphe squinted, for
he had his hat over his ee.-; be
sides, he prudently thought it best
to attend to one lady at a time.
'As for the wart, sir,' said he, 'it is
not difficult to cure.'
'Hut if my wife don't confess that
she has it, she will never consent to
be curedj I would not mind if she
would but own to it. Oh, the vanity
of women !'
'It must have been after some
absence that this little defect was
perceived by you '
'After absence wo have not beeu
a day separated since we married.'
Celeste burt into tears. Adolphe,
in a rage, seized his hat, mounted his
horse and went himself to the doctor.
The doctor was a philosopher as
well as a physician. He took his
ponv and ambled back with Adolphe.
On his way ho extracted from
Adolphe his whole history, for men
iu a passion are easily made sarru
lous. 'The perfidious women !' said
Adolphe. 'Would you believe it?
we braved everything for each
other uever were two persons so
much in love nay, we attempted
suicide rather than endure a longer
separation. I renounced the most
brilliant marriage for her sake too
happy that she was mine without a
dowry and now she declares I
pquint. And, oh, she has such a
wart on her chin !'
'O-ho,' thought the doctor, sinking
into a revery I have said he was a
philosopher to know that persons
who would have died for each other
only a few tnontha ago were not
alienated ouly by a wart or a cast in
the eye.
They arrived at Adolphe's villa
they entered the saloon. Celeste no
longer wept; she had put on her
most becoming cap, and had the air
of an insulted but uncomplaining
wife.
'Confess to the wart, Celeate, and
I'll forgivo all,' said Adolphe.
Nay, why so obstinate as to the
caste of the eye? I shall not admire
you less (though others may), if you
will not be so vain as to disowu it.'
'Enough, luadame ! Doctor regard
that lady. Is not the wart mon
strous? can it be cured?'
'Nay,' cried Celeste, sobbing, 'look
rather at my poor husband's squint.
His eyes were so fine before we
married.'
The doctor put on his spectacles.
He regarded the one first and then
the other.
'Sir,' said he, deliberately, 'this
lady has certainly a pimple on the
left of her chin considerably smaller
than a pin's head. Aud, madam, the
pupii of your husband's right eyo is
like that of nine persons iu ten, the
hundredth part of au inch uearer the
nose thau tho pupil of the left. This
is the case, as it appears to me, seeing
you both for the first time. Hut 1
do not wonder that you, sir, think
the pimple so enormous; aud you,
madam, the eye so distorted, siuce
you see each other ei'ery day !'
The pair were struck by a secret
conviction. When an express ar
rived breathless to summon Adolphe
to his lather, who was taken ill. At
the end of three mouths Adolphe
returned. Celeste's wart had entire
ly disappeared, and Celeste found
her hush mil's eye as beautiful as
ever.
Taught by experience, they learn
ed then, that warts rapidly grow on
chins, and squints rapidly settle
upon eyes, that are too constantly
seeu. And that it is easy for two
persons to die joyfully together

A I..o.t rVote.
In 1740, a director of the Bnuk of
England lost a 30.000 bank note,
which he was persuaded had lallet
from the chimueypiece of his room
into the fire. The batik directors gave
the loser a second bill, upon his
agreement to restore the first bill
should it eyer be found, or pay the
money if presented by any straugei'
"About thirty years afterwards,"
says Mr. Francis, "the director hav
ing been loug dead, aud his heirs in
possession of his tort line, au un
known person presented the lost
bill at the bank, and demanded pay
ment. It was iu vain that they
mentioned to this person the trans
action by which that bill win an
nulled ; he would not listen to it ; he
maintained that it had come to him
I ro m abroad, and insisted upon im
mediate payment. The uote was
payable to bearer and the JL'30,000
were paid him. The heirs of the
director would not listen to demands
for restitution ; and the bank was
obliged to sustain the lose. It- was
discovered aflerwaid that an archi
tect having purchased the director's
house, had taken it down, in order
to build another on the same spot,
had found the note in the crevice ot
the chimney, aud had made his dis
covery au engine for robbing the
bank."
An Old JMaidN Couoolatlou.
The writer rallied a young lady
friend some time ago aud chaffed
her upon boing au "old maid." She
replied : I am past thirty. I have a
good name. I think vou know that
1 have had abundant opportunities
to marry. I have boen bridemaid
a score of times. I ask myself
with which one of the beautiful
girls that I have seen take the mar
riage vow would I exchange with
to-day? Not one. Some aro living
apart from their husbands; some
are divorced ; some are the wives ot
drunken men ; some are hanging
upon the ragged edge of society, en
deavoring to keep up appearances;
some are toiling to educate aud sup
port their children, and these are
the least miserable ; some tread the
narrow line beyond the boundary of
which lies the mysterious laud, aud
some have gone out iuto its dark
ness and unknown horrors, and
some are dead. A few there are
who are loved and honored wives,
mothers, with happy homes; but
alas, only a very few. The Pari
sian. The pride of the farmer should be
iu his fields. In their beauty, in
their order.in their product, he should
place the gratification of his humble
and honorable ambition, says a con
temporary. This is all very well as
far as it goes, but we would add,
the pride of the farmer should be in
his wife and children iu theirhealth
and culture, mental and social. A
farmer with a family of seven, eight
or ten children, well bred and train
ed up, has something to be proud
of, aud what should gratify an hon
orable ambition.
Who U lualhed.
He wasn't such a, bad man, as men
average, though he was uot a bard
worker aud he didu't have a good
husband's and father's Interest iu bid
family. What they wore and what
they ate be earned, whether it wa
good or bad, and wife and children
depended upon him. One day when
ha had beeu drinking he got into a
row, stabbed ono of the party, and
was takeu to the station. There wai
uot two dollar worth of provisions
in the house, but there was a wifa
aud five children, and while they
wept over the fate which had over
taken husband and father, their faces
paled at the thought of the almost
empty cupboard, their scant cloth
ing, and the rent overdue.
This mu is a bad man, aud he
must be punished. said the public.
How?'
'Why, we'll send him to State
Prison for a year or more.'
'And his family?'
The public shrugged its shoulders
and made no reply.
The man was a bad man, but hia
w"ife was a prayiug. Godfearing wo
man, and his children had innocent
hearts. They were not to blame for
the deeds of the father. Yea, the
man must be punished, aud he wag
punished. He was punished by a
year in prison, where he was well
clothed, well fed, furnished a good
bed, attended by a doctor wheu nec
essary, and his work was but play
to liis strong muscle. Instead of
feeling degraded he entered the pri
son with his head erect and the firm
conviction that he had vindicated hii
manhood by stabbing the 'ellow who
had tttriii'k him. For h year he wai
better fed and better lodged than
since he could remember, and he
gained flush. Thus was he 'punish
ed to come home and find him-telf a
corner-grocery hero and plenty of
men anxious to befriend him.
Now what of the family? Even
before the husband w.is arraigned
for trial thp wife had to sell the best
of her furniture. He was not yet
sentenced when the children were
sent out to beg. Th day they 'pun
ished' the bad man by starting him
to a comfortable prison, hi family
were turned into the streot and re
mained there all day and all night.
When they found a house in a hovel
the children went begging for food
while, the mother went for work.
In a year exposure and suffering had
consigned the mother aud three chil
dren to paupers' graves, and theoth
er two had been sent among stran
gers to find home. The 'punished'
man comes out fat and healthy, to
discover that he has ouly himself to
look after, the law having kindly
made vagrants and beggars of his
family aud then killed and buried
most of them.
'He' got such a dne as will make
him behave himself in the future,'
says the public.
The 'dose' i? forty extra pounds
of fat, a system cleansed of whukey,
and a more rugged look than he had
carried tor 20 years, having scarce
enough interest to ask when his wife
died, and what had become of the
children the law didn't kill and
bury.
It is nothing if Maw' breaks up
homes and makes beggars and pau
pers and skeleton corpses by the half
dozen to punish one man, over
whose actions the sufferers had not
the least control. Law-makers are
wise men, aud we must admire their
wisdom.
KliminntloB.
Our bodies are iu a state of inces
sant waste aud repair. At count
less millions of points, old material
is being used up, aud instantly re
placed by new material that is as in
stantly cist aside.
For this reason it is true not only
that one's body is wholly changed
every year, but that it is uot the
same at two successive moments
Hence the importance of elimina
ting organs, to druiu oil' this dead
matter.
Arterial blood furnishes all the
new material, while the old is car
ried away in the veins, from which,
it having beeu eliminated, the resi
due returns to the heart, purified for
further use.
The eliminating organs are lungs,
liver, kidneys and skin. The lungs,
eliminate carbonic acid the most
abundant of all the waste ; the liver,
cholesteriue waste of the brain aud
nerves; the kidneys, the waste of
the muscles; the skin, more or leas
of the carbon but especially the
salts of the system.
If any eliminating organ is inac
tive or diseased, so as to be uuabla
to perform its office properly, the
effete matter is left in the blood, to
accumulate iu the circulation, except
that some one or more of the other
eliminating organs come to the help
of the former.
The skin often doe3 90 much of
this vicarious work, that a single
glance at the diseased man's face
will sometimes enable the physician
to kuow what eliminating organ is
diseased or topid.
