POOR DIGESTION
LANGUID AND TIRE!
An Interesting Letter Concerning Pe-ru-na.
HEARD BY AN OLD MAN.
Here in my eary chair I sit,
An old, old man before the fire, '
Deaf to all sounds of every day
And dead to every past desire.
ferhaps the failing outward sense
Quickens the spirit's inner ear,
For sitting here before the fire
You'd scarce believe the sounds I hear.
Jill thin long afternoon I heard
The brook In the old orchard sinjj
Jwt as it used to, on the farm,
When first the grass grew green in
spring.
You know that gurgling, gladsome
noise
The voice of water wild with glee
IVhen it has burst its icy bond
And finds itself alert and free.
The birds, too, in the beech-tree grove,
I hear them, as in days of yore
When I went forth at break of Tlay,
Call through the sunrise hush once
more.
And thnt one bird that nested high
I thought she had a silver throat
A trickle of clenr melody,
It thrills me oft, her slender note.
Jly mother's voice, too oh, so plain
It calls across the fading lipht:
"Come, children, time to leave your piny;
Come in the house, 'tis almost nijjht!"
'oinetiinps when you have left the room,
And i iiione am sitting here,
1 !onk the answer right out loud,
"Yes, yeg, I'm coming, mother dear!"
Then there's one song comes back to me,
Your mother snug it, my dear wife,
A sl"udcr girl dressed all in white,
First time I saw her iu my life.
She used to carol like a bird
'Tifl an old-fHuliioneil song, I know,
Utit day by day I hear her still
Singing, "John Anderson, my Jo."
I sometime think that when I go
To join her in the angel throng
Her voice, above the heav'nly hymn
Will rise once more iu that loved song.
An old, old man and common speech
But seldom reaches my dulled ear;
Yet sitting here before the fire
You'd scarce believe the sounds I hear.

A TALE OF A SALE.
RS. MASON la what we call In
hi our village "a character,"
'and as such I dearly love a
tint with her when she la in the hu
nor to be drawn out. The other af
ttemoou I called to remind her of the
jijhi.ua 1 rummage sale. She Is a regu
lar purchaser, but priding herself on
IWKMOsslon of a Judicial mind, she does
not feel at all called upon to approve
In the abstract of Institutions in whose
tienotlts she is quite ready to partici
pate. "Itoomage sales? I don't hold with
m! I call It a-nlsultin' of the Al
anlghty, the gentry offering Him their
.nst-off clothes and what not!" she
iHld tartly. "Teck my word for 't,
(the gentry gets their fun out o them
ales same as bazars, and times they
gets tho best bargnlns, too."
"I don't rco how thnt can be," I said;
"Ihe gentry don't buy at rummage
sales."
"Don't they?" she chuckled. "Much
yon know about It. The best bargain
ver I seed was got at a rummage
ale. Sit 'ee down, and donnut fidget
l' yer chair, and I'll tell 'ee how It
cum about. 'Twas worth half-a-sov-.orelgn
to me.
"I was a slip of a girl, In snrvlce at
Rquolre llargreaves, at the hall. Well,
they had a guverness there for the
children; a tall, handsome lass she was,
jis proud as If she was a duchess.
"Her father had been what they call
a millionaire, but he lost all his money,
ud the daughter, who had been to
college and was a great schollard, went
out to help tarn a living for the family,
llefore that she'd been engaged to be
'married, but It was broken oft when her
ifnther lost his money.
"Well, one day I was cleaning the
outside windows of the . schoolroom
when Mrs. llargreaves conies In, and.
'Miss Alwyn, says she, 'I want you to
'help the vicar's daughter, Miss Rogers,
at the roomage sale. So Miss Alwyn
-said she would.
"On the days of the sale, Mary, the
(.housemaid, told me she'd asked Miss
Alwyn for any of her old things to send
tin the parish hall. Miss Alwyn Just
Mcwked up, nnd said: .
" 'Very well. Mary, you can take
whl'a hanging on the end peg In my
crown; I have nothing else I could
vvare."
"There was a pink frock as fitted
Mary and a lavender muslin gown.
"'Mary,' I said, 'there's a mistake.
Ils Alwyn's always kept that put by
careful in her drawer, with sprigs
of rosemary between; she don't mean
that.'
"But Mary wouldn't listen. She'd set
her heart on the lavender gown and
took It down to the parish hall herself,
ror we two servants had a holiday ftrj
the afternoon.
"Mary took the dresses to Miss Iti"-.
ers' stall and got them priced.
toought the pink one, but the laveu '
Kubellk's romantic engagement to the Hungarian countess, who Is de
clared to be the most beautiful woman of her country, continues to form
the subject of articles in European newspapers, and periodicals, and many
stories are told of the intense devotion of the couple to each other.
was too dear. 'I can't think,' says Miss
Rogers, 'how anyone comes to send It.
It's quite a Parisian creation.'
"There was a Mr. Kartram as was
staying wltlthe vicar standing by," and
he laughed. 'Let's see the creation,' he
said; and then he looked startled.
'Where did that come from?' he says,
shortlike; and Miss Rogers said, 'from
Mrs. llargreaves. 'llargreaves! I don't
know such n name! But it Is It must
be the same gown!' he muttered. Then
I knew that he was Miss Alwyn's for
mer young gentleman and what Mary
had done.
"Mr. Bartram tried to turn off all the
seriousness of the Joke. 'Look here!' he
says, 'that's too smart a gown for your
village folk. In the Interests of paro
chial morality, I want to buy It!
"So he paid the, price and went off
without swing the other stalls.
"Presently Miss Rogers, as .was keep
ing the stall, wanted to go away for
something, and asked me to keep an
eye on things. Miss Alwan had e Id
her lot, and came round to see how ..e
was gettln' on.
"In a moment she catches sight of
the gown, and 'Oh!' she cries. 'My
lavender dress! How came that here?
I must have it back; there has been a
mistake!' So I told Mary, miss,' says
I; but now It's sold.' 'Sold!' she cries,
with her face as white ns my apron.
'No matter, I will buy It again. How
much was given?' 'Two sovereigns,'
says I. She seemed a bit set back at
that, but she pulled out her purse.
'Fortunately I have as much,' she said.
'Make it right for me, Betty.' And not
staying for a 'By your leave!' " she
catches up the gown and offs with It
hanging over her arm. I ran after her
to wrap It up, but, lor' bless you! she
never took no heed. So I came back to
the stall. Mr. Bartram had returned.
'I've come for my bargain,' says he,
smiling It. 'Oh, sir,' says I, 'Miss Rog
ers left me in charge of her stall and
I've sold It!' 'Sold It?' said he. 'But It
was sold! I bought It!' 'I'm very sorry,
sir,' says I; 'but the young lady as Is
governess at Mrs. llargreaves took It
nnd left this for you,' and I showed him
the money. 'But I don't understand.
Why Is she so anxious for It?' he says.
'Well, you see, 'twas her dress, and
only sent by mistake,' I answered back.
'Her dress Mrs. llargreaves' gover
ness! What Is her name?' he asks.
'Miss Clarice Alwyn.' says I. And I
could have laughed out loud, for with
that he was off and away down the
lane and all the folks looking after
him.
"They were leaning on the stile lend
ing to 'squire's fields, and the gown had,
fallen between them. Ka I came near
I heard him say, 'And you wrote the
letter becauso your father lost his
money?' 'Of course I did. How could
I keep you bound to a beggar?' she
made answer. 'And I thought It was
because you didn't love me!' he cried.
'Oh, Robert, how could you!' she said!
And with that they looked up and saw
me. I dropped a curtesy. Miss Alwyn
blushed. Tlease'm, you've dropped
your frock.' says I. demure-like. And
Ct that Mr. Bartram laughs quite j
hearty. 'Betty,' says he,' 'I see you've
guessed the story. Here's half a sover
eign. Run along, and tell Mrs. llar
greaves Miss Alwyn's found a bargain
at the rummage sale, and won't be back
to tea.' " Xew York Daily News.
"THIRD STORY BACK" COMEDY.
How One Boarder Managed to Pay Her
Boom Kent.
The man with the bald spot at the
back of his head was reading aloud
from the reflections of Marcus Aurelius.
The landlady told him to shut up.
"It's all very nice," she said, "but I
don't feel like listening to it to-day."
The bald man closed the book over
his Index finger, which he generally
uses for a book mark.
"What is the matter?" he asked.
"I have been Imposed upon again,"
said the landlady. 'The lady In the
third-story back room is the guilty par
ty this time."
The bald man said he was surprised
"She seems to be a very nice wom
an," he said. 'She is very popular."
"Exceedingly so," said the landlady,
In acrid tones. "It is through her pop
ularity that she Imposed upon me. Day
after day streams of people have called
to see her. They were all women, and
many of them came with bundles.
There was one woman the short one
with the scar on her chin who came
regulai ly every mrrnlng about 9 o'clock.
All day long 1 could hear a sewing ma
chine running at full gait in there, and
I tnought the third-floor woman must
bo getting ready to get married, she
was having so many clothes made. But
the clothes were not hers. I found out
about them this morning. They belong
to the woman who came here with the
bundles, and the short woman with the
scar has been making them on the
third-floor woman's machine. The short
woman has actually paid rent for the
loom and the mnchlne at the rate of $2
or $.1 a week, but not a cent of compen
fcatlon have I had for the wear and tear
ou my carpet, on my door bell, and on
my servants.
"I have Just been upstairs putting a
slop to It. If the short woman wants to
sew In my house, why doesn't she rent
a room from me outright, Instead of
sneaking In on the pretense of visiting
a friend? Without doubt that was the
moat high-handed arrangement I ever
came across. I have heard of tenants
In lodging houses carrying on all kinds
of business In their own rooms, but I
never before, heard of sub-letting a
third story back cupboard for enough
money to pay the first rent" New
