AN ARCHITECT'S DREAM.
Within my home In bed I ly,
I bad been reudlng Thackeray.
Soma pinna I bud boon lookluf o'er(

And on Hit ninht of which I write,
Whato'er the cause, I iuw light
That never In my life before
I dreamed to we, or dreamed I w.
A rudily dume In costume old,
With luce and rulllo manifold,
Htnod Hxlnii me with milium eye,
Wblle 1 could neither move nor 017.
At'lust sho spokes 'Tv lost my wy

. You uro the master here, I know;

Thoront my courage noon returned,
My KUnst's diloniin thus I learned!
And wuosoo'or this dame might be,
Why hud "lie oome to flurry mef
; Bhe Bald : "I came to ee from far,

Lost In this fearful, wondrou house.

And yet no word she spoke, but trod
As one who's charmed by maglo rod I
And when our "gun log" Are blazed,
And the eloolrio light, she stood amaze.
Then I was sure her speech must oome,
Hut when It did I was struck dumb.
For my uislhetlo house sucb words
Words that might turn sweet milk to curds!
Cried she : "I lout lie holes In a floor,
Whence blasts with demon fury pour!
These pipes and oocks and hidden things.
These blinding lights, kjyose startling rings!
" A shingle palace made for show"
Who told bor so, I'd like to know?
" No harmony, nor plan, nor care,
And every thing I everywhere.
" Oh, for the age of stone and men I
Tho days of stout VanbniBh and Wren
Of common sense and good red brick.
Your gilt and gewguws make me sick."
At this point I could bear no more;
My blood was up, my feelings sore.
Madura, this house to me is dear.
Its architect myself stands hers.
" What can you know of Anno or Wren?"

With withering smile: "Thou wretched

A BALSAM PILLOW.
How Brie Earned Money to Fay
the Hired Help.
Now that Mr needles and hemlock
needles have become recognized articles
of commerce, and every other shop
bonHts Its row of fragrant cushions,
with tholr tnovltablo motto: . "Give Me
of Thy lliilm, 0 Fir Tree," I am re
minded of the first pillow of the sort
that I ever snw, and of what it meant to
ttio girl who made it. I should like to
tell you tho little story, simple as It is.
It belong to the time, eight or nine
years since, before pine pillows became
popular. Perhaps Chateaubriand Dor-""Vr-t

Lio, u
liuTir sei a laHiuon.
Yes, that was really her namel Iler
mother met with it in a nowspapor, and,
without tho least idea as to whether it
' appertained to man or woman, adopted
' it for her baby. The many syllables
fascinated her, I suppose, and there was,
besides, that odd joy in a piece of ex
travagance which costs nothing which
appeuls to the thrifty Now England
nature, and is one of its wholesome out
lets and indulgences.
80 the Methodist older baptized tho
child "Chateaubriand Arumintha," mak
ing very queer work of the unfamiliar
accents; and then, as far as practical
purposes aro concerned, the name
ceased to be. How can a busy house
hold, with milk to set, milk to skim, and
pans to scald, and buttor to make, and
pigs to feed, find time for a name like
that? "Itsiliy" tho llttlo girl was called
till she was well settled on hor feet and
lhe use of her little tongue. Thon she
became "Ilrlo," and Hrlo Dorset she re
mained to tho end. Few people reool
locted that she possessed any other
name, unless the marriage, birth and
death pages of the family ltiblo happened
to be under discussion.
Tho Dorset's was one of those pictur
esque, lonely outlying farms, past which
people drive in the summer, saying:
"How retired! how peaceful!" but past
which no one drives in the winter. It
stood, with lis environment of red barns
and apple orchards, at tho foot of a low
granitm clilT whose top was crowned
with a fir wood; and two enormous elm
trees met over its roof and made a
ehecker-work of light and shade on its
closely-blinded front No sign of life
appeared to the city peoplo who drew
their horses in to admire the situation,
except, perhaps, a hen scratching In tho
vegetable beds, or a lazy cat basking on
tho door-step; and they would drlvo on,
unconscious that behind the green blinds
r1hvo a pair of eyes watched them go,
and a hungry young hoart contrasted
tholr lot with its own.
Hungry! There never was any thing
like the starvation which goes on some
times in those shut-up farm-houses.
Hoys and girls feel it alike; but the
boys are less to bo pitied, for they can
usually devise means to get awny.
How could Hrie get away? rihe was
tho only child. Her parents bad not
married young, ithen she waa nine
teen they seemed almost elderly peo
ple, so btculy does life on a bleak .Now
England farm deal with human beings.
Iler mother, a frail little woman, grew
year by year less lit for hard labor. The
farm whs not productive. Poverty,
pinch, the inevitable recurrence of the
sine things to be ilono day after day,
month after month, the samo needs fol
lowed by the same fatigues all these
Trie had lo bear; find nil the while the
child hud that love nnd longing for the
beautiful which is part of the artist's
equipment, and the deprivation of
which is keen suffering. Sweet sights,
sounds, smells all these she craved,
and could get only In such measure as
her dally work enabled her to get from
that world ef nature which is the satis
faction of eager hearts to whom all
other pleasures are denied.
The fir wood on the upper hill was
the temple where she worshiped.
There she went with her ltiblo Sunday
afternoons w.th her patching and stock
ing mending on other days. ThPre she
d.-ttxed .r; ;i, earns sal prajed ber
prayer, and while there arte waa con
tent. Hut all too soon would come the
on lid of tho horn blown from below, or
cull from tho house, "Jlrie, Hrie, the
men are coming tosupper; maWebaateP
and she would be forced to hurry back
to the work-a-dar world.
Harder times followed. When he
was Just twenty ber futher fell from his
loaded hay wagon and fractured hi
thigh. There was 110 cure for tho hurt,
and after six monUis of hopeless attend
ance bo died. Hrie and hor mother were
left together on tho lonely farm, with
the added burden of a large bill for doc
toring and medicines, which pressed like
a heavy weight on tholr honorable
hearts.
Tho hired man, Reuben Hall, was well
disposed and honest, but before .Mr,
Dorset's death ho hud begun to talk of
going West, and Hrie foreboded that bo
might not bo willing to stay with them.
Mrs. Dorset, brokon down by nursing
and sorrow, had become an invalid, un
able to assist, save in tho lightest way.
The burden was sore for one pair of
young shoulders to beur. Hrlo kept up
a bravo face by day, but at night hor
rors of helplessness and apprehension
seized her. Tho heavens seemed as
brass against which hor feeblo prayers
beat in vain: tho future waa barred, a
It woro, with an impassable gate.
What could she do? Sell the farm?
Thut would tako time, for no one in par
ticular wanted to buy it If Reuben
would only stay by them they might bo
able to fight it out for another year, and,
what with butuir and eggs and the corn
crop, make enough for his wages and
bare living. Hut would Reuben stuy?
Our virtues sometimes treat us as in
vestments do, and return a dividend
when wp least expect it. It was at this
hard crisis that certain good deeds of
Brle'a in the past stood her friend. She
ha I always been good to Kcuben, and
her sweet ways and consideration for
bin comfort had gradually won a pass
ago into his rather stolid affections.
Now seeing the emergency sbe was In.
and the courage with which she met It,
ho could not quite And the heart to
"leave the llttlo gal to muko out by hor
Belf." Fully purposing to go, ho stayed,
putting off tho idea of departure from
month to month, tind though true to his
Idea of propercautlon, he kept his good
Intentions to himself, so that tho relief
of having him there was constantly
tempered by tho drend lust ho might go
at any time; still it was a relief.
So April passed, anH May and Juno.
Tho crops were planted, tho vegetables
In. Hrie strained every nervo. She
petted her hens und coaxed every possi
ble egg out of them, she studied tho
tastes of the two cows, she maintained
a bravo show of cheer for ber ailing
mother, but all the time sho was sick at
heart Every thing seemed closing in.
How long could she keep It up?
Tho balsam firs of the hill grove
could have told tales in thoso days.
They woro llrie's solo conlldunts. The
consolation they gave, the counsel they
communicated, were mute indeed, hut
nono tho less real to the anxious girl
who sat beneath them, or laid her chock
on their rough stems. Juno passed, and
with early July cume the answer to
Ilrio's muny prayers. It camo, as an
swers to prayers often do, in a shape of
which sho had never dreamed.
Miss Mary Morgan, teacher in Gram
mar School No. S, Ward Nineteen, of
tho good city of Koston, came, tired out
from iter winter's work, to spend a few
days with Farmer Allen's wife, bor sec
ond cousin, stopped one day at tho Dor
se .'8 door, while driving, to ask for a
.t,b- nt u'ntfir funk a fnncv in Die dill
nninn rt,-,.eunr mine
ovorto pr. pose herself as a boarder for
three months. ,
"1 can only afford to pay seven dollars
a week," sho said, "but on tho other
hand I will try not to make much
trouble, if you will tako mo."
"Seven dollars a week; only think!"
cried Hrie, gleefully, to her mother, after
the bargain was completed and Miss
Morgan gone. "Doesn't it seem liko
a fortune? It'll pay Reuben's wages, and
leave ever so tmiclt over. And she
doesn't eat much meat, sho says, und
sho liki-s baked potatoes and ereura and
sweet baked apples better than any
thing. And there's tho keoplng-rooui
chamber all cleaned and ready. Doesn't
Itspem us If sho was sent to us, mother?"
"Your poor father never felt like
keepin' boarders," said Mrs. Dorset "I
used to kind of liko tho idea of it but
ho wasn't willin'. I thought It would
ho company to havo onu In tho house, If
they was nice folks. It does seem as If
this was the Lord's will for us; her com
ing is so unexpected, and all."
Two days lator Miss Morgan, with a
hammock and a foldingcanvuschalrand
a trunk full of light reading, arrived,
and took possession of hor new quarters.
For the first week or two sho did little
hut rest, sleeping for hours at a tlino in
tho hummock swung beneath the shad
owing elms. Then, as tho color came
hack to her thin face and tho light to
her eyes, she began to walk a little, to
sit with Itrle In tho fir grove, read
aloud to her on tho doorstep whlK she
mended, shelled peas or plnkod over
berries, and all life seemed to grow
easier and pleasanler for tho dwellers
In tho solitary farm-house. Tho guest
gave little trouble, sue paid her weekly
due punctually, and tho steady income,
small as it was, made all the dilleronce
In tho world to Hrlo.
As tho summer went by, and sbe grew
at home witli Iter now friend, alio found
much relief In confiding to her tho per
plexities of her position.
"I see," Miss Morgan said, "it Is the
winter that is the puzzle. I will en
gage to come back next summer as I
havo this, and that will help along; but
the time between now and then is the
dilliculty."
"Yes," replied Hrie, "the winter Is
I the puzzle, and Reuben's money. We
have plenty of potatoes and corn and
vegetables to take us through, and
there's tho pig to kill and tho chickens
will lay some; if there was any way In
which I could make enough for Reuben's
wages wo could manage."
"I must think It over," said Miss
Morgan.
Sho pulled a long branch of tho bal
sam fir nearer as she spoke and buried
her nose In It. It was tho first week in
September, and sho and Hrlo were sit
ting in the hill grove.
"I love this smell so." she said. "It
Is delicious. It makes me d ream."
Hrie broke off a bough.
"I shall hang it over your bed." she
ald, "and you will smell It all night."
So tho fir bough hung upon the wall
Until it gradually yellowed and the
needles lxgan to drop.
"Why. they are as sweet as ever
sweeter?' declared Hrie, smelling a
handful which she had swept from the
floor. Then an idea came Into her head.
Sbe gathered a great fagot of the
branch-", and laid them to dry in the
f un oo .oe ""or pf hule-uscd piui.
Wben partly dry she atripped off the
needle, stuffed with them square cot
ton bag, and made for that a cover of
oft aagn-groen silk, with an odd shot
pattern over It It wa a piece of what
had boon her groat grandmother' wed
ding gown.
Yvila! Do you realize the situation,
reader? Hrie had made tho first of all
the many balsam pillows. It was meant
for a good-bye gift to Mis Morgan.
"Your cushion i the Joy of my life,"
wrote that lady to her a month after
she went homo. "Every ono who sec it
falls In love with it Half a dozen peo
ple havo asked mo how they could get
onu liko lu And Hrie, this has given
me an Idea. Why should you not make
them for sale? I will send you somo
pretty silk for the covers, and you might
croKS-stilch a Utile motto If you like. I
copy some for you. Two peoplo have
given me orders already. They will pay
four dollars apiece if you like to try."
This suggestion wa the small wedgo
of the new Industry. Hrie lost no time
In making tho two pillows, grand
mother's gown fortunately holding out
for their covers. Then came some pnt
ty silk from Miss Morgan, with yellow
I..-' for the mottoes, and more orders.
Ilrlo worked busily that winter, for bor
balsam pillows had to bo made In spare
moments when other work permitted.
Tho grove on tho hill was her unfailing
treasure of supply. The thick-set twigs
bent them to her will; the upper
branches seemed to her to rustic as with
satisfaction at tho aid they were giving.
In tho spring tho old trees renewed
their foliage with vigorous will, as if
resolved not to balk her In her purpose.
The fir grovo paid Reuben's wages
that winter. Miss Morgan came buck
the following June, and by that time
balsam pillows were established as
articles of commerce, and Hrie had a
magnillcont offer from a recently estab
lished decorative art society forasupply
of the needles at three dollars per
pound. It was hard, dirty work to pre
pare such a quantity, but she did not
mind that
As I said, this was some yoars since.
Ilrlo no longer lives in her old home.
Iler mother died tho third year after
.Miss Morgan camo to them, the farm is
sold and Hrie is married. She lives
now on a ranch in Colorado, but she has
never forgotten the fir grovo, and the
memory of it is a help often In tho de
spondent moments that oome at times
to ill lives.
"I could not bo worso off than I waa
i.hi.n." she snvs to herself. "There
seemed no help or hopo anywhere. 1

In this It has a decided advantage
over calfskin with its fibers; tho break

TALK IS CHEAP,
but it will only take a minute In which to state a few facts, that, if heeded,
will prove invaluable to many. It's well-known that the press teems with
advertisements of garsaparillits and other liver, blood and lung remedies, for
which great claims are made. They are generally represented as sure cures.
But there is one medicine, and only one, the claims for which as a cure for all
lingering diseases arising from Torpid Liver or Biliousness, or from impure
blood, are backed up by a positive guarantee I If it don't do just as represented
in every case, the money paid for it is promptly refunded.
This peculiar method of business, it will readily be seen, would bankrupt
the manufacturers of the ordinary medicines in the market Only a marveloiisfy
efficacious medicine, containing the most pmitive curative properties, could
sustain itself under such trying conditions n these.
This peculiar medicine sells beyond all others throughout the civilized
world. And why should it not ? "Talk is cheap," but when It's backed up
by a positive guarantee, by a houe of long established reputation, for hon
esty, integrity and sound financial standing, then words mean business I And
that's just what the World" Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, X. Y
mean in guaranteeing their Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to do all
that it is recommended to do, or refund- the price paid for it.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery checks the frightful inroads ol
Scrofula, and if taken in time, arrests the march of Con-iunption of the
Lung', which is Lung-scrofula, purities and enriches the blond, tht n-hv ctliinp
all kin and Scalp Diseases, Ulcers. Sores. Swellings, and kindred ailments. Jt
is powerfully tonic as well as alterative, or blood-cleansing, in Its effects hence
it strengthens the system and restores vitality, thereby dispelling all those
"tired feelings'' experienced by the debilitated.' Especially has it manifested
its potency in curing Tetter. Eczema. Erysipelas, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eves.
