Read this: 1». “When my baby was four weeks old, scrolulous eczema broke out on his body. He became literally covered with Sores When six xmonths old the breaking out healed on his body, but his head, face and arms were a’terrible sight. I passed many sleepless nights holding his little hands to keep him from scratching his face. I cannot tell what he suffered with the sores. One doctor attended him a year without avail. No one thought he would ever get well. He was almost a year old when I commenced to give him Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla. . He soon grew so much better that ured ; I was able to rest at night. Gradually the sores on his head and arms healed, the burning and itching ceased, and he slept better. In 2 months he looked like an? other child, gained strength, was cured. I recommend all persons afflicted with eczema or any skin disease to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I feel assured that it will do wonders for others.

If you will observe it carefully you will note that it fits like a glove (and a saddle should not). It presses the sen- sitive parts, causes sore- ness, stiffness and chaf‘ ing, and has made cycl- ing to a certain extent injurious, because few could enjoy a long ride without fear of injury. All this is now changed. Here 15 repre- sented the perfect saddle—the Christy Anatomical Saddle, » _ ‘ showingthepelvis asit / rests on the pads.

Is BLIND.” " Feathery palm trees, banks of flowers, softly-hued fairy lamps and delicious strains of ever-changing music, all these go to make up enchantment! . . So, at least, thought Lord Ronald (P Esterre. He had but just returned from a two years’ sojourn in the heart of Africa, a sojourn filled with dangers and pri- vations; his years numbered but live- and-twcnty, he was possessed of a. well- knit, springy frame and a keen, clear eye; and he had come back from his t1 avels with fame, courage and en- durance, but without a. penny that he could call his own. W hat was next to be done? This 11 as the problem that filled all his spare thoughts. His elder brother had fitted him out for his expedition with the po- lite intimation thatthe act was a. virtual washing of his hands‘of the superfluous cadet; his aunts had kissed him so 1'11r1n1y at parting that he was amazed to find them “not at home” when he ‘1 l 71' cl to London; his godfather had 12111: L111 a twenty pound note and ~ .1111 1 1‘1 carty farewell, that it was be- 1‘ Lid-c.- g-to be cut by him 11 hen they met once more in the club smoking- room. “It really seems as if they wish 1 had never come back! ”’ said the young man to himself, with asmile at the in- credible idea; but as time passed on his smiles died away, and he ground his teeth savagely as he realized that his relations had thought it a- good invest~ ment to lay out £ 500 and an infinity of farewell in the hope of getting quit of a troublesome incumbrance. The thought was a. bitter one, and in his first fury he vowed to leave his native shores by the next-ship, and never return to them again. But upon the heat of his passion there fell a cooling breath, as if“ from heaven itself, and the lion was straightway changed into a lamb. Lord Ronald d’Esterre had been accustomed so long to be looked upon as a “detri- mental” that at first he scarcely dared to show the attraction that lay for him in VioletHarvey’s appealing gray eyes and soft, shining hair. To his amaze- ment, however, he found that obstacles melted away miraculously at his ap— proach. Violet herself was shy and re- tiring, it is true, but her mother smiled sweetly upon him and her father shook him warmly by the hand. Was over man so blessed before? “True love does run smooth some- times, after all!” he said to himself on this bright June evening, as he walked 1201111311 ard after a meeting with Mrs. Ham ev in the park. " Shall you be at Lady Chesterford’s [arty to- night. 9” she had said. “Violet and I are going, and we shall be disap- pointed if we do not see y 011.’ His honest face had glow ed with de- light as she Spoke, and he seemed to be treading on air as he walked away. “Even Aunt Maria has taken me back. into favor again,” he thought; “she was horribly cross when I first came home, but now she is sugared satin whenever I come near her. I dare say it was all my fault, though. I know that I 1v as an ill- conditioned brute until Violet came to soften me!” .‘ Lady \[aria’ 5 flow ered headdress 11 as the first object that met Lord Ronald’s cy es 1v hen he entered his hostess’ crow ded drawing-rooms that e1 enmg, and somewhat to his surprise it 11- as in (lose proximity to Mrs. Harvey’s friz- sled grey head. “I should not havethought that Aunt Maria 11 ould have any thing to do with her,” he reflected. “She always says she. can detect the faintest tincture of trade and she must know perfectly well that Mr. Harvey made his money in malt." At this very moment, however, he caught sight of Violet, and forgetting all else, he elbowed his way eagerly through the crowd, until he reached her side. It might ha1e been only fancy, but at any rate it seemed to him that her wel- come 11 as a. warmer one than she had c1er gi1e11 him before, and his heart beat faster as he bent over her. “Will you not come into the conserva— tory?” he said, pleadingly; “it is so hot here.” She rose without a. word, and they walked away together. “Do you know that it is only six weeks since I first saw you?” he said. “I can hardly believe it myself, for it seems as if I had known you all my life.” He had an idea even as he spoke that he had seen the remark in almost every could not refrain from uttering it, for it seemed so exact an expression of his feelings. Violet, too, had probably heard it before, but from Ronald’s lips it sounded absolutely new, and her long eyelashes drooped lower upon her check as she listened. They were walking between banks of flower and fern, and the silence between them was too sweet to be broken at once; but Ronald knew that their soli- tude might be disturbed at any moment, and rousing himself from his dream he had just opened his lips to speak, 11 hen a. voice from some hidden speaker came plainly to their ears. “It is almost certain to come off to- night. I gotfihim an invitation on pur- pose.” Ronald started; it was Lady Maria’s 1 oice, but- he had not the remotest idea to. what she was alluding. In another moment, however, she received her an- swer and it was V iolet’s turn to start, for it came in her mother’s accents: “We shall be only too grateful to you if it does come off, for her papa. and I have always set our hearts on her mar- rying 11. lord. The very minute that Violet tells me he has proposed, the check shall be sent to you.” Ronald drew back a step, his cheek growing pale beneath its brbnze; his hands clenched involuntarily, and for a moment Violet expected to see him dash out upon the conspirators; but their voices were already receding in the dis- tance, and as he looked around he saw the anguish in her face. - “Violet, Violet!” hecried, seizing her love story that he had ever read, but he - THE EVENING hands in his; “you know nothing of: this! I swear it with my dying breath!” She drew her hands away, and tilrned to escape, but he followed her. “I have not much to offer,” he said, “but all I have is at your feet.” She quickly locked up, and a light of gratitude came into her eyes. “How good you are,” she said. Ronald looked at he1 in bewilderment: the words were not what he had ex- pected. ' “You do not understand,” he said. “I 11 ant you to be my wife.” “I do understand,” she answered, gently, “and I honor you for asking me, after what has happened; but I Will not take advantage of your generosity.” “It is not generosity,” cried Ronald, “it is sheer selfishness!” But Violet showed no signs of yield- ing. “I will not leave you unless you tell me one thing,” said Ronald. “If your heart is free, I claim it; but if not, I will never trouble you again. Violet, tell me, do you love anyone?” She looked at him with a face that grew pale under his gaze. “Yes, ” she said, “I do. ” “That' IS enough,” said Ronald, hoarse- ly, and dropping her hand he turned and went. “It is strange how ungrateful young people are!” remarked Lady Ma.ria,a few days later, to the friends gathered around her tea table. “I had arranged a. most suitable match for my nephew, really done everything in my power to promote it; and yet he actually came here the other day and used the most terrible language—said that I had spoiled his life, and all kinds of dread- abroad, nobody knows where. I am sure I only h0pe that I shall never see him again.’ Lady Maria’s wish. seemed likely to be fulfilled, for five long years came and went, bringing no news of Ronald; and though five years could not take the bloom from her cheek, nor the gold from her hair, they could, and did add very materially to the infirmities of her frame. But when at last he did reap- pear, she was willing to overlook the past in spite of her resentment, for Ronald had found his way into a profit~ able foreign partnership, and instead of fame he brought back money. “One of the best things I ever did for you was getting you out of that en- tanglement!” she exclaimed fervently when they met, for Lady Maria came of military stock, and she knew that one of the most successful maneuvers is to carry war into your enemy’s quarters. Ronald shot a glance at her from under his dark eyebrows, but said noth- ing, and she continued gayly: “Mr. Harvey went bankrupt a year or two after you went away, and they are quite in poor circumstances now. That. upstart girl waits upon the lodgers, I believf’c “You don’ t 5111 so!” remarked Ronald. “Where am they living?” “In Worthing,” said Lady Maria, de- ceived by his coolness. “Lady Henning- ton was there last month, and she told me that she saw Mrs. Harvey on the parade, and that the woman actually had the audacity to speak to her! Can you believe it?” “I don’t know,” said Ronald; “but I am going to Worthing this afternoon, and I shall see whether she will speak to me!” “Oh, my dear boy!” cried Lady Maria, in genuine distress. “Pray, pray don’ t- do anything foolish! You have no idea how designing poor people are—” but here she ceased,»for the sound of the loudly closing door informed her that she was alone. “But why did you send me away?” said Ronald, a few hours later, as he and Violet stood together under the stars, and heard the waves beating upon the beach. “Because I thought, after what we o1erheard,you felt yourself bound to say what you did out of consideration for me.’ “So your pride came in the way, my little one! Don’t you know that pride is one of the deadly sins? However, 1 can’t preach to you now, because I want to ask you another question. If you really have loved me all along, why did you tell such a dreadful lie ?” “A lie!” exclaimed Violet. “Yes, a lie; 11. regular big black one! When I asked you if you had loved any- one, you said yes. Now then, confess .w‘w-_ you off!” He held her away from him so that he could look into her face, and waited inexorably for her answer. “I saw that you would not listen to any other objection,” she said, “and I thought that you were sacrificing your- self, and 50—” “Yes, I know all that,” he interrupt- cd; “but you had no business to say what you did! Unless, of course, there me.” A flush came over her face, and as she raised her eyes he could see her tears shining in the starlight»; he grasped her hands more firmly in his now, and looked down at her from the height .of his six feet. voice would not be controlled, and with a great-wave of love surging in his heart, he drew her close to him. “Who was it?” he whiSpered. She turned to hide her face upon his shoulder, and breathed her answer into his ear bent down to catch it. “You dear, blind boy, it was you!”— Household Words. ‘—New Hampshire very early in its history was denominated the “Switzer- land of America,” on account of its mountainous character and the hardy habits of its people.
