They went to housekeeping in a little house, modestly furnished and were a fair Specimen of love in a cottage. But Wharton Hill was ambitious. Having studied his profession under great difficulties, often going hun- gry to buy needful books, often los- ing his night's rest to pore over knot- ty points, he was both fond and proud of his life work, and strove to win a good position therein. His love for Daisy, true, honest love, was never allowed to interfere with his pursuit of fame in his profession and after he was married he attack- ed his studies with renewed ardor, spending his time in his office, when not actually engaged in the court- room. Little Daisy, whose life was aiec- tion, found time often hing: g heavily on her hands, as when Wi: - ton became more and more po; i.:r and the number of his clients ix- creased. But she was always ready with a loving welcome when he did come to his home, and she knew that much of his ambition and ardor was for her sake. The third year of her married life was nearly ended and her only child, Tom Trueman Hill, was eighteen months old, when Wharton, ever busy and full of energy, began to complain of racking pains in his head, and loss of memory. Often in the midst of an argument the thread of his speech slipped from his mind and cost a great mental strug- i change inhim. He grew haggard and restless, oppressed with vague fears of loss of reason; and really suffering great physical pain. At last, much against his will, he allowed Daisy to call in the family physician, whose advice was simple, but strongly urged, consisting of only said: Daisy, at Corn’s Mill?” week.” envelope that’s a dear.” ing.” posted, Wharton seemed to find an unfailing source of amusement rov- the ground with a short cane, often kneeling down to examine the earth so turned over. planting a garden, though she said despondently: if we do.” young, the answer came in person of | Farm. two men, one \ sent-miaded, the other young and emphatically business-like. ton gave them a cordial welcome, and after partaking of a substantial | luncheon the three started out upon | THE ONLV EXCLUSIVE HARDWARE AND IMPLEMENT IN BUTLER.

C., March 4.—It seems that the republican majority of the house has been hoisted with its own petard in unseating Mr. Pendleton of West Virginia and awarding the seat to Mr. Atkinson, who, by the congressional directory, is set down as a republican. Mr. Atkinson has taken his seat on the democratic, and it is alleged openly annouces himself to be a democrat.

Fort Seott, Kan., March 3.—A few months ago an old gentleman nam- ed Thomas Gary came to this city and put up at a bording house in south part of the city, kept by A. Majors. He was about 80 years of age, lived a very retired life even to miserliness, washing his own clothes and living on two meals per day.
