IN THE SNOW

How Margarets Cold ResolveWas Completely Thawed

i was hanging clothes on the line Idetested it and I was getting furiouslyjwgrj It was intensely cold my fin-

gers¬

bundled up in great white mittenswere 3ikc Jumps of ice my feet sympa ¬

thised strongly The wind blew andflapped the frozen clothes into my facewhen my shawl was not flying round myhead 1 laiuw Ly former trials how bluemy nose was and how purple my cheeksIf I had Ixxjl a man I should have saidsomething van-- strong and dashed awajTiit the pins and the clothes in a mannerthat would have demolished both ButI was only a woman I only thought theexpressive phrases and fumbled careful-ly

¬

with my mittened iciclesThe porch door opened

Margaret MargaretI turned round on the slippery snow

siud holding by the rope to steady my- -eeii I screamed

WhatCome in right awayBut the clothes arent half out I

cried in returnCome in Somebody wants to see

youAunt Margaret had hardly shut the

door before I was ou the step I wentinto the kitchen half dizzy with thecold and the-- heat of the room and thepain of my lingers I didnt expect tofind any company there but the fire hadgot low in the sitting room and AuntMargaret had invited them to the kitchenlire

Close by the stove sat two people ayoung lady and gentleman but at thatmoment I saw only the lady though Ihad not seen her before since she wasgrown I knew her instantly my cousinCharlotte Leigh from Boston My firstbight of her gave me a confused idea ofvelvet and fur and of the handsomestface I had ever seen all mingled withan exasperating consciousness of thestate of my own complexion and habilixuenis

Your Cousin Charlotte Margaretmy aunt said

Having managed to get one mittenoff I advanced and put my hand inliers

You will excuse the coolness of mygreeting I said alluding rather moreto my lingers than my manner for jshe

ouldijuot icstrain a slight shudder asour hands met But I am not at pres--cntia my natural condition Im morethan half frozen

I took off my ungainly hood anddiawj while Charlotte laughed gaylywith a certain childish manner thatquite enchanted lae

During the process of thawing Char-lotte

a JBOtseat she bent forward and took myhand saying

Ubwthat the purple is fading fromTour face you begin to look like theMargaret I remember Let me presentaiy cousin Beede Staniels-

If almost any other person had spokenlike that I should have been annoyedbut in her voice 1 was not- - KeedeStaniels bowed gracefully to me and Ilooked at him for the first time

He was a slender haughty lookingyoung man but when ho smiled orwished to please his face softened andglowed I had heard Charlotte speak ofBeede when we were children togetheraad a year or two ago she had writtenthat he was in Europe I had alwayshad as idea that Charlotte would marryher Cousin Reede though she had neverstud so and herHirtingproclivities werealarslngly developed but Keede en¬

Thetatter then said Charlottewith an enchanting smile

And your balls and operas think ofthe sacrifice I said

Farewell for a time she criedtossing her muff on the table

Beede turned again from the windowThen I shall not escort you home

to morrowNo you will return alone and re-

port¬

at my fathers houseWill return You are imperative

you do not know but I have decided tostay1

Stay here exclaimed Charlottewho stood before the little mirror ar-ranging

¬

her hair Tell it in GathPiibliiIi it in Akeloni The daughtersof Boston will mourn for Keede Stan-iels

¬

ha taken flightIn that case said Keede with his

hand on the door in that case it fol-lows

¬

that the daughters of this villagewill rejoice

He bowed to me with a rare impu-dent

¬

grace and went outCharlotte had seen the look and the

bow and glanced at me to see its ef-

fect¬

I could not help smiling as oureyes met

What do you think of him sheasked

Tery handsome and quite killing inhis own estimation

Oh youll like him everybodydoes she said

Then it will be wise in me to sub ¬

mit to his attractions gracefully Iresponded Shall I hold out myhands for the fetters Charlotte

Not till you hold your hand for thering she replied and I thought I de-

tected¬

a warning in her voiceSomehow I resented that tone I had

no idea of being fascinated by my cou-sins

¬

cousin andl said with emphasisThen youll see me forever freeAmen to that was her response

Charlotte was inducted into our bestchamber which room at her special re-quest

¬

I shared with her I expectedevery day for a week that she would an-nounce

¬

her intention of returning homebut she did not and after a few daysmore I ceased to expect it

Contrary to our expectations KeedeStaniels returned immediately to KostonCharlotte said she thought a sojourn inthe country too much for his tempera-ment

¬

to endure But Charlotte had notbeen a fortnight with us when one af-ternoon

¬

a light brilliant cutter sud-denly

¬

whirled up at the gate and Beedelooking up at our faces at the windowlifted his hat and bowed low

Well have a splendid ride criedCharlotte

Doubtless I said settling back tomy sewing

You look as if you were not goingsaid Charlotte in a surprised tone

Reede opened the door as she wasspeaking coming in with two little boxesin his hand

You see Icouldnt help coming backLottie Your father says you may stayas long as you like But you must hearthe other side of the case half a dozenexquisites arc dying because of your ab-sence

¬

as many bouquets were doing thesame thing in your parlors last nightwasting their sweetness under the handsof the housekeeper But I mustnt tellyou anymore oryoull be wanting to goback which desire I should veto forIve brought my turnout as you see

Charlotte stood with amused face lis-tening

¬

to his talk The glow over herface was one of real pleasure He satdown as he ceased speaking putting histwo packages on the table and coinmencino to open them

Yoirll perceive I am more fortunatethan the forsaken gentlemen in thecity for I can bring my offerings di-

rectly¬

to their shrineHe took from their warmly lined hiding-

-places two little clusters of flowersHe laid one in Lotiies hand then ad-vanced

¬

to my side saying with moredeference in his tone

Will Miss Ware accept these Notfor their rarity but because it is winter-time

¬

Fragrant warm looking honey sucklesand deep blue violets dropped softly onmy work

I looked up into his face he seemed tohave been willing to meet my eyes Hesaw my thanks there befoi el could speakthem

I am glad that you like them hesaid and turned away leaving me slighty annoyed that I had gratified him bygiving him the glance he had so evi-dently

¬

wished forI had at our first meeting felt vexed at

his thoroughly at home air here in thehouse of strangers but that feelingpassed away and gave place to a littleamused surprise that he could be soHis manner was somewhat boyish butthe decided proud cast of his featureswhen in repose was so opposite to thatappearance that it gave one the ideathat his real character did not lie on thesurface

I came particularly to lake you twoto ride he said after a momentssilence during which we had been ad¬

miring our flowers and he had beenturning over the books on the table

Will 3ou goFor some reason I imagined that

Charlotte would prefer to go alone withhim and I did not doubt that he wouldlike that arrangement better He hadjust come from her home and theywould have a thousand things to talkof about which I should know noth-ing

¬

Nothing would be pleasanter ComeMargaret said Charlotte rising to goto her room

I really should like to go but it isvery inconvenient for me to go to daI said determined now that 1 would notbe teased into it

Charlotte cast a deprecating glance atme and closed the door

It is impolite to urge you I knowMiss Ware said Keede but 1 wishyou would go

My excuse is true I saidThen some other day you muse make

amends he said stooping to inhale theperfume of the flowers I still held in myhand

Charlotte had said truly when shehad told me that no one could help lik-ing

¬

Rede There was something abouthim very attractive for that reason Idid not wish to like him I never caredto like those to whom all paid tribute

Thank you I certainly will I re-plied

¬

to his last sentence- -

I feared I naight be considered affect-ed

¬

in refusing to go now but in truth Iwould much rather remain and I wasprone to do as inclination prompted

Charlotte came down ready for herride

Its no use urging her she saidlooking at me My compliments to MrMarsden if he comes

Who is Mr Marsden asked Keedewith exaggerated interest pausing withhis hand on the door I must discoverbefore I go

Oh he calls here replied Charlottewith a glance at me

Oh with nrolonered reflection cameI from Reedes lips

ltttinnecnon tola me that he thoughthe had discovered why I staid at home

J aad I was provoked with myself that I

fiUffifcfi t fr

9was provoked Still more irritated wasI when Mr Marsden the lawyer hap-pened

¬

to call that very afternoon andwas diligently chatting with me whenKeede and Lottie returned They expa-tiated

¬

so much on the sleighing that MrMarsden invited me to try it with himthe next day and I graciously acceptedhis invitation to the apparent amuse-ment

¬

of CharlotteKeede had taken up his abode in the

hotel opposite He drove us on mauyrides he took us to the country amuse-ments

¬

he sauntered in at all hours ofthe day and evening A great deal ofthe time I was busy with some house-hold

¬

duties and many other times I leftto Charlotte the pleasure of entertainingor being entertained b him

A fortnight he had been with us Charlotte began to ask me to go home withhor but Idid not wish to go Since mylast term in a city school I had felt thatif I were not to live in town I must notallow myself to be so attracted by itsgayettes its coit rerts its paintings itsinnumerable beauties

At last after many declarations sheasserted if I would not return with hershe would go in a week I trustedsomething would detain hex

It was a clear moonlight night withcold still air lying over snowy roadijand fields Sleigh after sleigh dashedmerrily away on the road to the neigh-boring

¬

town where one of the wealthygentlemen was to give a part in honorof his entrance to his new house Astamping of feet on the doorateu and amoment later Keede entered with radiant face and eager eyes I was alonein the sitting room

What Are you not ready he ex-claimed

¬

All the rest have goneWhere is Lottie

I felt unaccountably nervousShe has a severe cold and is iu her

room She is very much disappointedthat she can not go

Is her illness serious he askedOh no I think not I said and re¬

sumed the seat from which I had risenIt is late now why dontyou put on

your cloak he askedBut 1 thought I woula not go as

Lottie could not be one of the party Isaid

But I have thought of it all day Iinsist upon your going 3 011 must go

He bent down with one hand on thearm of my chair his impetuous spiritshining in his eyes and penetrating tomy heart

Why was I so interested in him Thetone in which he said I have thoughtof it all day thrilled through me hiseves melted my resolution not to go

ComeHe took my hand and raised me from

my chair I went and donned wraps andfurs

When we were fairly on our way hesaid looking down at me with that irre¬

sistible glance of hisAnd you were intending to disap-

point¬

me But now I will take aire ofyou to night I have you you arc in mypower

It was an instant before I could trustmyself to answer words spoken in sucha voice as that I wondered if he hadever spoken like that to Charlotte toany one That thought gave me a replyin indifferent tones

Then be lenient be generous to yourprisoner

Or she may repent having placedherself in my hands1 he interrupted

Were you not going to say thatYou have said that I replied

There is no need of my repeating itBut you will not repent you will

trust me to night MargaretThat name m such a manner was a

caress His face was absolutely lumin-ous

¬

I dared not look at it Heseemed ielding to some powerful im-pulse

¬

now that for the first time ie sawme unrestrained by anothers presence

A thought of Charlotte came coldlyacross me then I remembered certainthings she had said that had given methe idea that Keede Staniels was one ofthat detestable species a male flirt Irecalled that suave distance of mannerwhich I generally employed with himIt seemed to freeze him instantly Hebecame deferential and polite and al-

most¬

silentA light filmy haze was spreading over

the sky it softened the moonlight andobscured the stars

Is this the turn Mr Staniels Iasked as he took the right of four cor-ners

¬

Yes this leads to R doesnt itThat sleigh ahead is one of our party Ibelieve

Then we are right I said Imnot familiar with this locality at all

And you must not be lost with mehe said in such icy tones that I repentednry coldness but it appeared the onlysafe way for me

The swift going horse sped like thewind over the road it was a lonelywinding way over the hills and intovalleys The haze thickened over thesky flakes of snow fell softly on myface and flecked with white the furryrobe round inc It was a deceitfulstorm for it came gently at first luringus on for we thought it would not stormmuch

We rode on turning corners by guessnow for I became convinced that wehad lost our way and there were nohouses where we could inquire Thesnow came thicker clogging the horsesfeet and impeding his speed We couldnot see anything before or around usbut the silent fall of Whiteness At lasttlie horse dropped into a slow toilsomewalk up a hill The reins hung loose inReedes hand

Truly I did not mean to get losthe said in an apologetic tone

No I had not thought you did Ireplied

He put his disengaged arm round medrawing me closer and stooping hisface nearer mine

And truly I am not sorry he saidDo not require me to feel sorrow for

anything that gives me your presencewithout ahance of interruption

I laughedYou need not fear intrusion here

certainly I saidDo not torment me he cried with

sudden and overpowering impetuosityI will not bear it You have been re

pellant to me to a degree that wouldhave cured a passion less strong thanmine but I ask now to know if I amvery disagreeable to you Margaret bekind

His hair swept over my cheek his hotbreath sighed acrens my lips For mylife I could not at that moment com-mand

¬

my voice And I firmly believedhim to be engaged to my Cousin Char-lotte

¬

Was it possible he was playingwith me I asked itself

You do not reply he said in a lowpassionate voice you are colder thanthis snow but I love you oh I loveyou

Suddenly and powerfully he drew meto him prisoning my lips with a fierypenetrating kiss

He released me and gathered the lineshurriedly in both hands It was timehe did po for the horse had reachedthe top of the hill and was plungingdown in such a zigzag course as atany other time would have mademe half afraid bt I felt willing to

die to die by the side of the man Iloved I feared terror and pain wouldcome if Charlotte knew of this I couldsee nothing but trouble for a lover likethis

The horse stopped sh ort so abruptlythat 1 was almost thrown from thesleigh Reede sprang out and went tothe horses head I imaginejU-ome-thin- g

was wrong about the harnessReede had hardly reached his head be-

fore¬

the horse dashed aside throw¬

ing out his front feet and hitting Reedea blow which sent him prostrateThough I could not see distinctly Iknew from the horses appearanceThe horse reared and danced Iheld the reins but he did notseem to feel the strength it was all Ihad with which I sawed at his mouthA deadly horrible feeling was at myheart Reede did not rise At last thehorse stood still a moment I droppedthe lines and slid from the cutter stag¬

gering through the snow till I reachedthe spot where Reede had fallen I for-got

¬

that the horse might run awayI brushed the thick falling snow from

his face He was stunned but I did notknow whether he was otherwise injuredMy love rose and overcame all the bar-riers

¬

1 had placed about it If he wouldlook into my eyes again I would not re-

fuse¬

him what he sought ihereFinally consciousness returned He

tried to rise and at last stood with trem ¬

bling hand on my armThe horse stood quiet

Can yon walk to him or shall Ibring him here I asked

He tried to walk but could notIve hurt me here he said putting

his hand to his side then impatientlyI am helplessFortunately my country life had

taught me how to drive Reede satdown powerless suffering I knew morethan he had told I turned the horsenot because I knew the way but becauseI hoped the horse might know it Along ride of silence I turned to Reedewho sat quietly his handkerchief to hisface I bent nearer

What is it I said in sudden fear1 touched his handkerchief In the

dim light I could see dark spots upon itOnly blood he saidMy God I cried in agony You

bleed how much are 3ou hurtTo death I hope he said in a low

weak toneMy suffering seemed more than I

could bearLive oh live I murmured close to

his cheek or my love will kill mehven m that gloom I saw the lightni-

ng-like flash of his eyes I felt thesweet smile that curved his lips

God has not forgotten me he saidhis forehead bending to nry shoulder

In my despair a few minutes ago I al-

most¬

thought so I must live nowHe did live but it was after much suf-

fering¬

and danger The hurt he received was internal and long in heal-ing

¬

The long distance we were obligedto ride before reaching assistance madethe wound worse The horse true tohis instinct carried us to the hotel whereReede stiid

How was the party asked Char-lotte

¬

when I entered her roomI didnt go I said

She sat up in bed rubbing her eyeto look at me She saw something onmy face for she exclaimed

What have you been doing then1 sat down on the side of the bed

Were you ever engaged to yourCousin Reede I asked

A look of pain or something akin toit passed over her face

A sort of tacit engagement shesaid slowly a kind of agreement ourfathers made for us to ratify if wewould

And you have never done it I in-

quired¬

No after a pause he loves jouIt is very strange he should I

said beginning to wonder that he didI a country girl when he knew so

many polished belles of the cityStrange cried Charlotte Have you

nover known that you axe magnificentNo you have not known it Thereinlies the charm

Are vou sorry he loves meA little

She said afterward a year after whenshe was dressing me for my marriage

Had I known a year ago that youhad grown to such a face and form Ishould not have brought Reede Stanielsinto the country with me

Why I saidBecause I wanted him to love meAnd now with a smileNow I would rather be loved by

Marston Hunt you know So put for-ever

¬

at rest those conscientious com-punctions

¬

that revealed themselves thatnight you so suddenly asked if I wereengaged to my Cousin Reede But tisthe truth he did used to flirt Dont beannoyed he never looked at anybody aslie does at you You will be happy heis good he is noble Catherine Earnsftaw in Buttons Magazine

A TERRIBLE CONFESSIONA Faystclaa Presents Some Startllag

FactsThe following story which is attracting

wide attention from the press Is so re¬

markable that we can not excuse ourselvesIf we do not lay it before our readers ntireTo the Editor of the Eochater X Y Dimo--

tralSir On the first day of June 1SS1 I lay

at my residence in this city surrounded byiny fxiehds and waiting for death Heavenonly knows the agony I then endured forwords can never describe it And yet if afew years previous any one bad told methat I was to be brought so low and by soterrible a disease I should have scoffed atthe idea I had always been uncommonlystrong and healthy and weighed over2Xpounds and hardly knew in my own ex-perience

¬

what pain or sickness were Verymany people who will read this statementrealize at times they are unusually tiredand can not account for it They feel dullpains in various parts of the body and donot understand wuv Orthev are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely withoutappetite the next This was just the way Ifelt when tho relentless malady which hadfastened itself upon me first began Still Ithought nothing of it that probably I hadtaken a cold which would soon pass awayShortly after this I noticed a heavy and attimes neuralgic pain in one side of myhead but as it would come one day and begone the next I paid little attention to itThen my stomach would get out of orderand my toou orten iaueu to aigest causingat times grqat inconvenience Yet even asa physician I did not think-- that thesethings meant nnything serious I fancied Iwas suffering from malaria and doc-tored

¬

myself accordingly But I got no hot-ter

¬

I next noticed a peculiar color andodor about the fluids I was passing alsothat there were largo quantities one dayand very little the next and that a persist-ent

¬

froth and scum appeared upon the sur¬

face and a sediment settled And yet I didnot realize my danger for indeed seeingthese symptoms continually I finally be-

came¬

accustomed to them and my suspi-cion

¬

was wholly disarmed by the fact thatI had no vain in the affected organs or intheir vicinity Why I should have been soblind I can not understand

I consulted tho best medical skill in thelaud I visited all the famed mineral springsn America and traveled from Maine toCalfornia Still I grew worse- - No two phy-sicians

¬

agreed as to my malady One saidI was troubled with spinal irritation an-other

¬

dyspepsia another heart diseaseanother general debility another con ¬

gestion of the base o the brain and so onthrough a long list of common diseases thesymptoms of many of which I really hadIn this wav several years passed duringwhich time I was steadily growing worseMy condition had really become pitiableThe slight symptoms I at first experiencedwere developed into terrible and constantdisorders My weight had been reducedfrom 207 to 1PA pounds My life was a burden to mvself and friends I could rotainno food on my stomach and lived whollyby injections I was a living mass of painMy pulse was uncontrollable In my agonyI frequently fell to tho floor and clutchedthe carpet and prayedfor death Morphinehad little or no effect indeadeningthepainFot six days aud nights I hnd the death-premonito- ry

hiccoughs constantly I My waterwas filled wilh tube casts andT albumen Iwas struggling with Brights Disease of thekidneys in its last stages I

While suffering thus I received a callfrom my pastor the Rev Dr Foote at thattime rector of St Pauls Episcopal Churchof this city I felt that it was our last in¬

terview but in the course of conversa-tion

¬

Dr Foote detailed to me themany remarkable cures of caseslike my own which had como underhis observation As a practicing physicianand a graduate of the schools I derided theidea of auy medicine outside tho regularchannels beiug iu the least beneficial Sofcolicitous however was Dr Footo that Ifinally promised I would waive my preju-dice

¬

I began its use on the first day ofJune 1SS1 and took it according to direc-tions

¬

At first it sickened me but this Ithought was a good sign for onv in my de-

bilitated¬

condition I continued to take itthe sickening sensation departed and I wasfinally able to retain food upon my stom-ach

¬

Iu a few days I noticed a decidedchange for the better as also did my wifeand friends My hiccoughs ceated and 1

experienced less pain than formerly 1

was so rejoiced at this improved conditionthat upou my dying bed I vowed in cho

of my family and friends shouldfresence I would both publicly and pri-vately

¬

make known this remedy fortho good of humanity wherever andwhenever I had nn opportunity and thisletter is in fulfillment of that vow My im-provement

¬

was constant from that timeand in less than three months I had gained26 pounds infleshbecameentirelyfreefrompain and I believe I owe my life and pres-ent

¬

condition wholly to Warners safe curethe remedy which I used

Since nry recovery I have thoroughly re-investigated

¬

the subject of kidney difficul-ties

¬

and Brights disease and tho truths de-veloped

¬

are astounding I therefore statedeliberately and as a physician that I be-lieve

¬

more than one half the deaths which occurin America are cauird by BrlgJWs dteeaw ofVie kidneys This may sound like a rashstatement but lam prepared to verity itfully Brights diseaso has no distinctivefeaturesof its own indeed it often devel-ops

¬

without any pain whatever in the kid-neys

¬

or their vicinity but has the symp-toms

¬

of nearly every other common com-plaint

¬

Hundreds of people die dailywhose burials aro authorized by a physi-cians

¬

certificate as occurring from HeartDisease Apoplexy Paralysis SpinalComplaint Rheumatism Pneumoniaand tho other common complaints when inreality it is from Brights disease of thekidneys Fev physicians and fewer peo- -

le realize the extent of this diseate or itsangorous and insidious nature It steals

into the system like a thief manifests itspresence if at all by the commonest symp-toms

¬

and fastens itself in the constitutionbefore the victim is awaip of it It is near-ly

¬

as hereditary as consumption quite ascommon and fully as fatal Entire fami-lies

¬

inheriting it from their ancestors havedied and vot none of the number know orrealized the mysterious power which wasremoviug them Instead of common symp¬

toms it often shows none whatever butbrings death suddenly from convulsionsapoplexy or heart disease

As one who has suffered and knows bybitter experience what ho says I Imploreevery one who reads these words not toneglect the slightest symptoms of kidneydifficulty No one can afford to hazardsuch chances

I make the foregoing statements basedupon facta which I can substantiate to tholetter The welfare of those who may pos-sibly

¬

be sufferers such as I was is an ampleinducement for me to take the step I haveand if I can successfully warn others fromthe dangerous path in which I once walkedI am willing to endure all the professionaland personal consequences
