a very charming young lady, Miss Iris Waverley, as soon as my nom de guerre was (I forgot-just now by whom) in- cidentally alluded to.

Well, that young poet’s latest volume of verse came under my notice for review, and m my customary light hearted fashion I held it up to general derision for a column or two and then dismissed it, with an in- eflaceable epigrammatic kick, te spin for- ever imately) down tke stinging croeves of criticism.

Miss Waverley, it happened, was inclined to cerrect her own views by the opinions of others, and was, moreover, exceptionally sensitive to any association ef ridicule with the ebjects of her attachment—indeed, she onee despatched a dog she fendly loved to the lethal chamber at Battersea merely be- cause all the hair had come off the poor animal's tail! My trenchant sarcasms had depoetized her lover in a similar fashion ; their livid lightning had rewealed the bald- mess, the glaring absurdity, of the very stamzas which once had filledher eyes with delicious tears; he was dismissed, and soon disa ppeared altogether from the circle which i had (in perfect innocence) rendered im- possible to him.

Notwithstanding this, Miss Waverley’s first sentiments toward me were scarcely, oddly enough, of unmixed gratitude. I represented the rod, and a very commend- able feeling of propriety made her unwill- ing to kiss me on a first interview, though, as ewr intimacy advanced—well, there are

WILL I SUICIDE?

While There's Life and Dr. Chase's Catarrh Cure There’s Hope.

I had suffered years from eatarrh that I don’t know that I will ever get out of my remembrance. One day, when I took one of the end- less prescriptions given me by the medicnl man to a druggist, I asked him bluntly, “ Will this cure me, or will it not? Or will it be like the rest ?”’ I was nearly desperate, I can tell you. The druggist said :— No, nothing can cure catarrh. I have it myself until] I often think of suicide. I take %pium usualy to sleep it off.’ I took the prescription away unfilled and went home, thinking of what the drug- gist had said about suicide, and I was utterly disheartened. I have that pre- scription yet. One day my deliverance came. A lady told me she had suffered just as I had, and was nearly insane, and that a remedy known as Dr. Chase’s Catarrh Cure had actually cured her. I had read a lot about Dr. Chase’s Catarrh Cure, but I felt to- ward it as I did toward other medi- cines; had no faith. I tried it as a last resort. I used two boxes of Dr. Chase’s Catarrh Cure, and found it a compleie cure.

To the extent of:a guinea (or even thirty shillings) I could refuse her nothing ; but every one knows lemanded by a photo- grapher who is at all in

So, keeping my promise constantly in mind, Inever entered a secluded neighbor- hood without being on the lookout for some unpretending photographic studio which would combine artistic excellence with moderate charges.

And at last I discovered this photo- graphic phcenix, whose nest, if I may so term it, was in a retired suburb which 1 do not care to particularize. After a brief period of hesitation I stepped inside, and, on stat- ing my wish to he photographed at once, was imvited by a very civil youth with a slight cast in his eye to walk upstairs, which i accordingly did.

I mounted flight after flight of stairs, till I eventually found myself at the top of the house, in an apartment pervaded by astrong odor of chemicals, and glazed along the roof and the whole of one side with panes of a bluish tint. of my entrance, but after a few minutes the photegrapher burst impetuously in—a tall young man with long hair and pale eyes, whose appearance denoted a nervous and high strung temperament.

“You will find me,” I told him frankly, “a little more difficult to satisfy than your ordinary clientele ; but, on the other hand, IT am peculiarly capable of appreciating real- ly good work. Now, I was struck at once by the delicacy of tone, the nice diserimina- tion of values, the atmosphere, gradation, feelimg and surface of. the examples display- ed im your window.”

He bowed almost to the ground, but hav- ing vareful note of his price, I felt secure in commending him, even to the verge of extravagance; and, besides, does

not the artistic nature demand the stimulus of praise to enable it to put forth its full powers ?

He inquired in which style I wished to be taken, whether full length, half length, or vignette. ‘‘I will answer you as consist- ly as possible,” Isaid. ‘‘I have been press- ed, by one whose least preference is a law to me, to have a photograph of myself exe- cuted which shall form a counterpart, or pendant, as it were, to her own. I have therefore taken the precaution to bring her portrait with me for your guidance. You will obserye it is the work of a firm in my opinion greatly overrated—Messrs. Lenz, Kamerer & Co.; and, while you will follow it in style and the disposition of the acces- sories, you will, I make no doubt, produce, if you take ordinary pains, a picture vastly superior im artistic merit.”

This, as will be perceived, was skilfully designed to put him on his mettle and rouse a useful spirit of emulation. He took the portrait of Iris from my hands and car- ried it to the light, where he examined it gravely in silence.

“I presume,” he said at length, “that I need hardly tell you I cannot pledge my- self to produee-a result as pleasing as this— under the cireumstances.”

“That,” I replied, ‘‘rests entirely with you. If you evercome your natural diffi- dence and do yourself full justice, I see no reason why you should not obtain something even more satisfactory.”

My encouragement almost unmanned him. He turned abruptly away and blew his nose violently with a colored silk hand- kerchief.

“Come, come,” I said, smiling kindly, “‘you see I have every confidence in you— let us begin. I don’t know, by the way,”

I added, with a sudden afterthought, ‘whether in your leisure moments you

take any interest in contemporary litera- ture ?”

‘‘I_] have done so in my time,” he ad- mitted; ‘‘not very lately.”

“Then,” I continued, watching his coun- temance with secret amusement for the spasm I find this announcement invariably produces upon persons of any education, ‘tit may possibly call up some associations in your mind if I tell you that I am perhaps better known by my self-conferred sobriquet of ‘Vitriol.’”

Evidently Ihad to do with a man of some intelligence—I obtained an even more electrical effect than usual. ‘‘Vitriol !” he cried,, “not surely Vitriol, the great critic ?”

“The same,” I said carelessly. ‘I thought I had better mention it.”

**You did well,” he rejoined, ‘‘very well ! Pardon my emotion—may I wring that hand *”

It is not my practice to shake hands witha photographer, but I was touched and gratified by his boyish enthusiasm, and he seemed a gentlemanly young fellow too, so I made an exception in his favor; and he did wring my hand—hard.

‘so you are Vitriol 7’ he repeated in a aind of a daze, ‘‘aud vou have sought me

‘*That is so,” I said, “‘but pardon me if I warn you that you must not allow your head to be turned by what is, in truth, due to the merest accident.”

“But what an accident !” he cried; ‘‘after what I have learned I really could not think of making any charge for this privi- lege !”

That was a creditable and not unnatural impulse, and I did not check it. ‘‘You shall take me as often as you please,” I said ‘‘and for nothing.”

**And may I,” he said a little timidly— “‘would you give me permission to exhibit the results ?”

“If I followed my own inclinations,” I re- ws ‘I should answer ‘certainly not.’

ut porhaps I have no right to deprive you of the advertisement, and still less to with- hold my unworthy features from public comment, I may,for private reasons,” add- ed, thinking of Iris, ‘‘find it advisable te make some show of displeasure, but you need not fear my taking any proceedings to restrain you.”

“We struggling photographers must be so careful,” he sighed. *‘Suppose the case of your lamented demise—it would be a protection if I had some written authority under your hand te show your legal repre- sentatives ”
