HE It STOKT AND HIX
HEB STOBY.
"What 70a can both be thinking of,
whatever you can see in him to admire,
I really can't make oat!" I exclaim, pet
tishly. "He certainly is not the sort of
a person to go into raptures about!"
"Vera!"
Bat in spite of my aunt's expostulates v
tone, and a frown from my cousin Ger
ald, I continue my remarks.
"I never was so disappointed in all my
life. To think of calling him a hero
that weakly; delicate-looking cripple!"
"Oh, Vera, hush! He's coming.''
It is a warm afternoon, and we are all
out upon the lawn; my cousin is swing
ing lazily to and fro in a hammock,
which is suspended just beneath the tall
elms, and, from his elevated position, he
has been able to Bee the slow approach,
along the walk by the side of the house,
of the individual under discussion. Can
he have heard? For once my self
possession entirely deserts me, and I sit
with crimson cheeks and down-drooped,
frightened eyes, ashamed oi myself and
deservedly so, for have I not spoken
slightingly of a guest, and my cousin's
dearest friend?
"How cool and comfortable you look,"
said a pleasant voice. "I have obeyed
your injunctions, Mrs. Yorke, and rested
for a full hour, and I can assure you I
feel greatly refreshed after my long
journey."
Involuntarily I draw a sigh of relief.
He has not heard; if he had he conld
never look and speak so unconcernedly.
He takes a seat near me, and when, at
last, I venture to raise my eyes, they
meet a calm, friendly, answering gaze.
No, it is quite evident he has not heard.
Before proceeding I will describe this
college chum and beau ideal of all per
fection of my cousin Gerald Yorke. His
name is Austin Buchanan, his profession
that of a doctor, and his age I should
judge to be somewhere about thirty; he
is not tall, and is very delicate-looking,
and, what detracts still farther from his
appearance, he is very lame.
Now, therefore in remote ages very
remote, I should say, as I have heard it
quoted ever since I knew enough to be
proud of a new sash some one made the
remark that "beauty is but skin deep."
However that may be, it is just as true
that I was born with an eye for comeli
ness and an aversion to a deformity or
blemish of any kind.
A week goes by; seven suns have risen
and set since Doctor Buckanan first came
to "Fellmount" by which name our
beautiful home, situated in the very
heart of the lovely Westmoreland Lakes
is called. The last of these seven days
finds my first impression of my visitor
decidedly modified.
When he is silent I think him plain,
and my eyes wander to his crutch; but
when he speaks, and his face brightens
till it fairly glows, then I cease to won
der at the charm he exercises over my
cousin.
Two more weeks hasten by.
"I must go at the expiration of an
other,"Dr. Bauchanan says decidedly.
"Now, Gerald, no urging, my kind
friend. I cannot leave my duties any
longer."
That night I pushed back my carls
and study my' reflection in the glass. I
have a reason for doing so. That very
afternoon, as I sat reading in my favorite
retreat, tucked away from the heat and
flies, in an odorous bower of Nature's
own making, with drooping rose sprays
sailing all about and hiding me, distant
only a stone's throw from where my
cousin and his friend had ensconsed
themselves; they were finishing a previ
ous conversation, and before I could
rise and make myself known, I overheard
something which effectually kept me
where I was.
"I know your admiration for a noble
character," Gerald was saying, "but you
must not think Vera is as frivolous as she
appears. You haven't seen her best side.
She is fretful and capricious before you
because I think your indifferent manner
rather piques her. The spoiled child is
very young, and has been spoiled by too
much admiration ; she is accustomed to
see every man she meets do homage to
her pretty face.
The answer came musingly and ab
sently: "Yes, your cousin might be pretty
nay, beautiful in some eyes, but to me
there is something wanting in her face,
perfect in outline and color though it
is the Undine needs a soul."
My glass shows me two dark, mischiev
ous "eyes, set in a round, fair face; a
small, curved mouth and a straight
nose.
"Undine needs a soul!" what could
he mean? But my mirror does not pos
sess a like gift with the ancient oracle,
and I turn away unanswered and dissat
isfied. The last week of our visitor's stay has
drawn to a close, and he has gone.
Ah! truly in three short months of
daily companionship, I have grown fully
to understand Gerald's admiration for
Austin Buchanan. Never before have I
had such a mine of varied and entertain
ing knowledge unlocked before me. Of
things above the sky reverently touched
upon; of things below; of the marvels of
foreign countries, and of the interesting
objects in our own upon each and every
topic he has been equally at home; and
though he has paid but little attention to
me, I have quietly listened and benefited
by what I have heard. Now that he has
gone I awake to find that, like Gerald,
I have allowed a hero-worship to spring
up in my heart, that I miss his quiet
footfall, and that, though I fear he does
not even like me deems me doll-like
and frivolous I have grown to care for
this grave, plain man, so different from
the shallow youths of whom I meet a
plenty in society.
When I ask Gerald he readily tells me
all about his friend, and I learn how it
was that he came to be lame. How, when
a mere youth, he had been present at a
large fire, and how, when no one else
had dared, he had climbed to i ladder in
the face of the blazing flames to save a
little child. The ladder had broken be
fore his descent had been completed, and
he had fallen with the little one in bis
arms. The child had been unharmed,
but then it was that he received the in
jury which made him a cripple.
As I listened to Gerald's enthusiastic
description of his friend's brave act my
heart stirs and throbs within me. This
is the man of whom, in my girlish
thoughtlessness, I spoke slightingly, al
most contemptuously.
HIS STOBY.
There is a lull in the storm for at
least three days I have not been called to
any new cases, and at last I think I may
safely say that the cloud is lifted, which
for the past month has lain so heavily
upon the people of this ill-fated town,
where for so long fever and disease, bred
of foul smells and bad ventilation and
drainage, aggravated by privation for
nearly all the mills have stopped work
on account of a strike among the em
ployes have held sway.
I write hopefully, and well I may, for,
together with the joy of knowing the woe
about me is abating, into my own life
has dawned an overwhelming and unlooked-for
radiance. I will tell how it
has come about.
As one morning, a month ago, I went
my rounds, in one of the hospital wards,
bending over a patient, I saw a new
nurse.
I watched her a moment unseen, when
suddenly, as she slightly turned her
head, I recognized one whom I had not
seen for five years. Notwithstanding the
stiff regulation dress and the close cap
which confined the hair, 1 knew her
for was it not a face which the more I
had tried to forget, the more it had re
mained engraved on the inmost tablets
of my heart. I had seen it first when a
dear friend had persuaded me to give
myself a short rest to recruit, at his
country home, the health which my
arduous duties had impaired. I went,
promising to remain a month, if nothing
urgent recalled me. I found an ideal
home, such as one reads of in books,
situated in a spot nature must have cre
ated with a smile upon her face.
The hostess, a gentle, gray-haired
lady, made me cordially welcome.
"A friend of her son's was as her
own," she said.
There was another inmate of my
friend's home his young cousin.
A gay, radiant cieature, with a music
as of rippling brooklets in her merry
voice, and a face full of fan and laugh
ter, bat without a particle of earnestness
underlying its varied expression. I
could -see that she shrank from me at
oar first meeting, and I learned the rea
son. I was a cripple, and she was one
to whose exuberant health and beauty
loving nature any deformity or weakness
gave a sensation almost of repulsion.
But as we grew better acquainted, as the
passing days opened out to as each
other's character, her manner toward me
changed. Though she suspected it not
a dangerous one to me. I had thought
her incapable of any seriousness of feel
ing; now I found my mistake. I had
thought her superficially fair, but I soon
came to find beauty in her girlish face,
surpassing that of any other I had ever
seen.
The time flew by until the day came on
which I had decided to go, and it was
well that it was so; for I. knew then-that
almost unconsciously, an all-absorbing
love had been growing up in my heart
for the beautiful girl who was no more a
fitting mate for one like me than a dainty
humming-bird would be for a grim,
sombre raven.
Not for such as she was a work-day
life like mine even had I not been as I
was a cripple.
So I went away, thanking my kind
entertainers, and binding with crds of
iron my heart, which throbbed like a
wild thing, when at parting she laid her
little hand in mine and said she was
sorry I was going.
Sorry and I, who was more than
sorry, could only utter the merest com
monplaces. To return to where I broke away into
reminiscences
As I stood watching her, she turned
and came towards me. . I was not mis
taken enough graver and paler than of
old, before me she stood who was always
in my thoughts. So I addressed her
now.
"Miss Carleton, can it be possible you
are here risking your life in this fevered
atmosphere?"
She gave me her hand quietly, as if it
had been but yesterday we parted.
"I iave been in the midst of the worst
of it," she said, "for I came to D
(naming a town a few miles distant) six
months ago. There I have been since,
until yesterday. I was sent here to take
the place of a nurse who has been taken
sick."
"But your annt, where is she?" I asked ,
"and my friend your cousin? I have had
no word from him for a long time."
I, An exnvession of sadness clonded her
face.
"Did you not know," she exclaimed,
"that both my dear aunt and my noble
young cousin all I had in the world to
love and be loved by were taken from
me within one short month? Oh, it was
hard! I was almost beside myself with
grief. Then I read of the suffering here,
and the need of nurses. I was alone in
the world no circle would be broken by.
my loss and I thought, perhaps in hard
work I could be able to drOwn my sor
row. So I came."
As she spoke I gazed with amazement
at the brave woman before me (for though
young in years, "girl" she could be
called no longer.
"The first month I took the fever," she
continued, "bat my perfect health
brought me through safely."
Truly the ways of Providence are mys
terious! How little I ever thought that
I should meet Vera Carleton in such a
manner and place.
After that I saw her daily; saw her
kneeling in prayer by the dying, or
whiling away the weary hoars of con
valescence by her beautiful, cheering
presence.
A month passed. . It was cooler
weather now, and the fever was at an
end. The time had come when my
services were no longer indispensable,
and I could return to my home in Lon
don. I called to bid Miss Carleton
good-by.
I found her alone. We talked awhile,
and suddenly, although my reason told
me it was madness, impelled by an in
ward prompting I could not resist, I
disclosed to my listener the love which
had been hidden m my heart all the long
years which had passed since we lost met.
As my passionate words fell on her ear a
faint rose-drift tinged the snow of her
exqaisite face. Ah! I saw only too
clearly by the difference that existed be
tween her great loveliness and my poor,
maimed body, how foolish I was even to
dare to hope, and yet I kept on.
Then bowing my head, I awaited my
answer. It came not in words. Soft,
round arms clasped my neck a tender,
tear-wet face pressed itself close to mine;
there, close by my side, with eyes whose
joyful light gleamed through a mist of
tears, was Vera.
"Austin, take me," she whispered. I
am yours. Undine has found her soul!"
So she had heard me say that. Well, I
tell her later, my offense is canceled, for
I, too, overheard a remark- never meant
for my ears a remark which was the
means of forcing me to keep silence then
and ever since until now.
Was ever a man so blest as I ? As I
picture the future my love-lit home
and the beautiful companion who is to
be its guardian angel a sense of thank
fulness rises in me too deep for words;
for surely, this side of the heavenly
shore, God can give no man no more
precious gift than that of a noble, loving
wife. m
The Sao Francisco Gallery.
iFrom the undav We'come.1
Within the last few years, and particu
larly within the United States, the
science and art of photography have
been developed to a wonderful degree of
perfection. Appealing at once to the
practical and poetical sides of human na
ture, borrowing the latest ray of chemis
try and universal physics, and engaging
the inventive and artistic faculties of
the most progressive people on the globe
it has grown up to prominence among
beaux arts bourgeoning with beautiful
creations and bearing fruits of perma
nent usefulness.
In Portland photography has long
been represented by professional work
of the most artistic finish, keeping pace
with the progress of the science in the
metropolitan cities of the world. The
extensive gallery on First street, long
conducted by Mr. Buchtel, and which,
under his management, attained a repu
tation all over the Northwest coast for
the perfection of its productions, is now
conducted by Mr. W. H. Towne and
wife, assisted by a brilliant corps of
artists. Daily a crowd of delighted
spectators may be observed at the foot
of the stairway leading up to the photo
graphic parlors, attracted by the display
of pictures in every style known, which,
in handsomely mounted cases, adorn the
hall. These triumphs of art display the
mobility and animation of life looking
down upon us with all the subtile gleams
and elusive shadows of expression
which characterize the "human face di
vine.
THE GALLEKY
Is composed of ten rooms each of which
is completely and expensively furnished
for the purpose it is intended to sub
serve. The receiption parlors are
richly and handsomely furnished with a
piano, pictures, chairs, etc., after the
manner of the most elegant drawing
rooms. There are separate dressing rooms
for ladies and gentlemen, liberally and
tastefully upholstered, with pier glasses
and all the luxuries of the toilet. Every
thing in these apartments is sumptu
ously comfortable and affords a striking
proof of the popularity and prosperity of
the establishment. The operating room
is excellently lighted and furnished with
every appliance that 'science and taste
have suggested for beautiful and perfect
work. The back-grounds are cf original
and striking designs, and the cameras
the best in use, including a large one for
pictures 11x14 inches. The dark room
is presided over by Mr. Towne himself,
than whom no one is better versed in the
chemical mysteries pertaining to his art,
or more conscientious and efficient as
a practical photographer in all its
branches.
The retouching department is in
charge of Benj. W. Talliaferro, an artist,
in his line of national repute. The
printing is supervised by Mr. A. Owen
Gregory, with Mr. J. T. Ryder, of
Cleveland, Ohio, the president of the
photograph association of America.
From thirty to fifty photographs are con
tinually in his charge undergoing the
process of completion. From his hands
the pictures pass into another apartment,
where they are glazed and mounted.
In connection with his gallery Mr.
Towne has been fortunate to secure the
services of the only colorist in the city,
Miss Flora Haskell, a beautiful and ac
complished young lady, whose life-like
portraitures are the admiration of all.
The illustrious Oliver P. Morton while
in Portland a few years ago had his pho
tographs taken in this gallery, and he
E renounced it the best work he had ever
ad done for him. We noticed also mag
nificent pictures of Dan Holton, Dr.
Chapman, General Sprague, General
Green, and the Earl of Airle. Handsome
men all and splendidly photographed.
In fact the elite of the city patronize the
San Francisco gallery and the business
transacted is immense, as an indication
of which we may mention that Mr.
Towne has now on hand 30,000 negatives
preserved for future use. To conclude,
this gallery is a credit to the city
and richly deserves the universal
recognition it has received. And no
where else are patrons received with more
courtesy or more diligently waited upon
than here.
Claim that Stewart's BoJy lias Been
1 sc ivtred.
Many persons in Garden City and
Hempstead believe that the body of
A. T. Stewart now lies in the crypt in
the Stewart Memorial Cathedral at
Garden City. It is said that about two
weeks ago two large slabs of blue stone
were brought up on a freight train.
They were so heavy that special appli
ances had to be. brought into requisition
to take them from the car and carry them
to the cathedral. In each corner of
these slabs there were eyeholes for the
insertion of heavy bolts. It is supposed
that one of these slabs was designed to
lie beneath the coffin, and the other on
top of it, and that they were to be bolted
together. Next, the story has it that
about twelve days ago a special train ar
rived at Garden City at midnight, con
sisting of an engine, a baggage car and a
passenger car. That Mr. Hilton, and
Mrs. Stewart, and about half a dozen
others got off the train and went directly
to the cathedral, while from the baggage
car was taken a coffin, which was also
taken to the cathedral. The party
was there a long time; the cathe
dral being lighted and the doors locked.
It is further said that the body was put in
the crypt in the basement of the cathedral
beneath the chancel, and that a mason
then laid the stones, bolted them, and
poured lead around the bolts in the eye
holts, and sealed the masonry with ce
ment. It is further said that electricians
skillfully led wires from various parts, of
the masonry of the crypt up to the chime
of bells in the steeple in such a manner
that if any person should attempt an en
trance, every bell in the steeple would
ring. It is further related that the-cathedral
has been lighted frequently since
that time, and much work is going on in
it. Formerly there was a watchman in the
day time, but now it is said there are two
at night. New York Sun.

It has been said that the men who succeed in life are the men who expect to succeed ; and the men who
fail are the men to whom success would have been a surprise. It is certain that some men carry about
with them the true and unmistkeable indices of success. In everything they do a fine business sense is as
manifest as the morning. They show wise forecast and undaunted courage; study purpose and pluck; per
sistent industry and native endowment; unflinching integrity and stesdfas tfidellty. Such men are predes
tined to succeed in whatever they undertake. With them to resolve is to do. The world belongs to the en
ergetic man. It Is a pleasant study to watch the progress and movements of these leaders and organizers
among men ; these pioneers in new paths of art, industry and commercial enterprise. It ia a fortunate
thing for any commonwealth when large means fall into the hands of large-brained, large-hearted men,
who feel an honest interest in the upbuilding and carrying forward of the substantial industrial and com
mercial prosperity of the community in which they live; men who have come to understand that the sur
est way to rise to command is to stoop to serve; men who seek to lessen the burdens of life among the toil
ers and stragglers, by giving them remunerative employment, and by reducing the necessaries of life to a
minimum of value. The foregoing thoughts have had their inspiration by a visit to the new
FAEMEES MECHA3STICS STOBE
At 184 First Street. Port bind, Oregon.
And a short history in connection therewith will be of interest to our readers.
enterprising gentleman came to the city of Portland and opened a Clothing Store,
called-lsmFarmers and Mechanics. Louis Prager was the name of the gentleman, and to-dav no firm in
OregoJMands higher in the estimation of the public than does the Farmers and Mechanics Store. The
mottfr,l,One Price to All," was adopted by the proprietor, and in no instance has he deviated from it.
He has enjoyed a large city trade, but by far the largest part of his patronage has come from the Interior.
Farmers who come to Portland and traded once with the Farmers and Mechanics Store, from that time on
become regular patrons of that store, fer they always knew that the goods they bought were well worth
the money paid. So large has been the patronage of this house for the past year that Mr. Prager has been
compelled to seek new quarters, and to meet their requirements he has leased the large store at 184 First
street, and after thoroughly refitting it he has taken possession. The new store has s frontage of 25 feet,
a depth of 100 feet, and is three stories high. Heretofore the Farmers and Mechanics Store has carried
only gentlemen's furnishing goods and clothing, but with the increased facilities he determined to enlarge
and increase the lines of goods In which he dealt. The lower floor of the new store has been elegantly ar
Mtrged and shelved, and a full Una of ladles' goods, sijks, satins, velvets, dress goods, .etc., has been placed
in one side of the store, while an increased quantity of gents' furnishing goods occupies the other.
Ev Jrything that is possible to make the store attractive has been done, and its arrangement shows that
master hands have it in charge. A cashiers' desk and book-keeper's office has been placed in the rear of
the store. The force will be Increased to sixteen clerks, and the whole store will be systematically divid
ed up into departments, which will be kept full of standard goods and novelties. The second floor is de
voted to groceries. Here a large quantity of fresh groceries has been placed and the firm will make a spe
cialty of jobbing as well as selling goods at retail. Farmers from the country can purchase a barrel of sugar
or goods in that line, at wholesale rates, and as the Farmers and Mechanics purcflased their goods for
cash in San Francisco and the eastern markets, he can sell at as low figures as any house north of San
Francisco. Mr. Prager has always believed in selling goods rapidly, at a small margin, and giving his cus
tomers the benefit of his advantages In purchasing, and in their new quarters, with their enlarged facili
ties for carrying full stocks in every line he will be more than ever able to please his customers and offer
them inducements which will hold this trade. By the steamer Columbia, which arrived this week, the
Farmers and Mechanics Store received 500 cases of goods, which is one of the largest shipments received
by any one house in Portland this spring. Mr. Louis Prager has just-returned from San Francisco, where
he has been personally engaged for the past few weeks in laying in a new stock of goods for the enlarged
stores and by every steamer that comes to Portland for the present will arrive large accessions of every
kind of goods in which this house deals. The ladies' department is especially large, embracing everything
that can be found in a first-class estabishment, from calicoes to the highest priced silks and satins. The
lady readers of this paper should not fail to call and inspect the goods offered for sale by this house, when
they next visit Portland, for no establishment in this city carries a better stock or sells at more reasonable
rates. The Farmers and Mechanics Store is conducted on the ONE PRICE principle, and the poorest man
can purchase goods as cheap as a millionaire, and an order from the country is always filled at the same
rates as is given to the customer who purchases in person.

There are many at the age of thirty t sixty who
are troubled with too frequent evacuations of the
bladder, often accompanied by a slight smarting or
bu rning sensation and a weakening of the system in
a manner the patient cannot account for. On exam
ining the urinary deposits a ropy sediment will often
be found, and sometimes small particles of albumen
will appear, or the color will be of a thin mllkisb hue,
again changing to a dark and torpid appearance.
There are many men who die of this difficulty, igno
rant of the cause, which is the second stage of Semi
nal Weakness. Dr. S. will guarantee a perfect cure in
all such cases, and a healthy restoration of the genito
urinary organs.
