liV CECILIA L. WIHTELEr. 'You promised to tell me, dear Anna, all ubout Mrs. and I huve come to keep you to your promise," said my young friend, Margaret Denton, she unceremoniously laid aside nor bonnet and shawl, und settle) herself iu the great crimson chair by tho window. A week before, at a brllliunt reception in Washington, blkbe Maggie Denton had been completely captivated by the beautiful wife of Senators In the midst of her enthusiasm, I intimated to Murguret th tit the Senator's lady had a history, and that same day 1 would narrate the story cf her courtship.

Uf course Maggio was delighted, and had come, with all a youug girl's impatient eagerness, to listen to tho great lady's life romance. Xow, go said Miss Deutou, leaning back iu a very attentive attitude. '1 know I shall love Mrs. dearly, for sho is so lovely; 1 always love everything that is 'Yes, Maggio sho is bcautiftl, and her character is as pure and good as her face and form is 1 replied. 'Wo learned to love each other years ago, when wo were both poor girls.

1 soothed her first sorrow aud shared her first joy; sol knew her heart deeper than society is permitted to Ten years ago Mrs.S was only simple Alice Leo, who, liko myself, earned her bread by honest toil. You look surprised, but it is true. The beautiful woman you met last week surrounded by wealth, and the best men nnd women in the land eager to claim her attention, used to work early and late as a compositoress on auaily newspaper. Summer and winter through the cold and heat, snow and rain, wo went regularly to our labor. Day after day we Btood patieutly at our cases, that thousands might read.

This had been our lifo lor more than three years. Alice was now nineteen, nnd I a year older, aud perfectly familiar with tho cutire business of tho office wo prided ourselves on being thorough compositors. Uy aid of tho types, wo had succeedej iu acquiring a good practical education aud a solid occupation, that would always obtain for us a comfortable and independent living. Do not imagine, Maggio, thut it requires uo ability to bo a printer. Aside from tho dexterity, I am quite certain that many of tho most fashionably-learned of our modern boarding-school graduated young ladies would find their education deficient ia an hour's experience at the case.

The art of type-setting demands a perfect knowledge of geography, grammar, orthography, and punctuation; the printer is not a muchiue thut must follow blundering copy, irresponsible of its correctness. I have set up buLureds of manuscripts fcaafully at fault iu one or more of these importaut branches that, too, of authors who have gained world-wide reputes as able authors. And then such mysterious handwriting as we used to decipher would utterly bewilder any one but a printer! The most brain-puzzling of all were the editorials; they were dreadful. Alice would freequcntly declare that the would be obliged to ask tho editors for a KEY. For nearly a year I had been engaged to our Foreman, George Lester, who had riseu from the errand-boy of the to the responsible position of foreman.

We were poor (Jeorge and I for we had nothins but our weekly stipend to build our future upon; but wo were youug, energetic and hopeful Alice rejoiced in our happiness; and iu planning our future success in lifo, forgot the preseut toil of her own. As a worker she was far more rapid than I. Her proof-sheet never showed au error, aud her types never mixed. Often she wonld assist me out in my column, and, when I protested, declaro in her wilful, merry way, 'that sho owed it to me for had I not been her good angel when Bhe was a novice at tho Ouo evening, an hour Inter than our usual time for goiug homo, Alice cume to mo from the foreman's dssk with a slip of paper iu her hand, and an exceedingly ruful countenance. 'Fifteen minutes more, Mnry, before we are freef she said, regretfully.

'Mr. 's sou lias just arrived from Europe, and of course his return must be noticed in to-mor-row's Hid papa has just sent it np. Isn't it too bad, and the proofs uicely Mr was our chief editor and solo proprietor of the paper a king in tho office, whoso nod was law and whoso frown was annihilation. His only son, Allen, was his pride and hope, aud his sufo return to his homo, after his protracted wanderings abroad gave great delight to tho loving old father, and a pretty item, from a paternal point of view, to the paper. Alice looked thoughtfully nt tho scrap of copy a moment, saying lightly: ''Well, never mind.

It's only a few lines, so I will set the beautiful Allen up with all dispatch injsmall caps' and 'nonpareil." Tick, tick tho little types went into deftly tho rapid fingers flow over tho cae, and in a few mtfrncuts the, beautiful Allen' was duly set up by as pretty a hand as ever handled" a typo. I removed a murder item to give placo to tho personal notice, theu wc leaded Mr. Allen securely, and locked tho form, and in this business manner au acquaintance with Mr. Allen began. The next day au old, gray-headed editor made his appearance iu tho compositor's room, accompanied by a tall, elegaut stranger, with a foreigu air und faultless dress.

We divined at once that ho could be no other than tho son and heir, whoso arrival Alice had so ungraciously anuouuecd. He seemed to be on a tour of inspection, and ready to make friends with nuy one. He shook hands heartily with tho foreman, and then sauntered up to the wiudow where Alice aud I were busily at woik, carelessly glancing at our copy and over the galley, with thu eye of a connoisseur. Alice, intent ou her work, did not lift her eyes, but IthiukMr. Allen noted the exquisite) turn of her head and neck, as well as the mass of curling chestnut hair.

The day was warm, aud a hundred moist ringlets were rippling away from her white forehead, uncoulined by hand or The largo loving dark eyes were hidden by their drooping lids, but Allen could see the glow of cheeks aud lips, as well as tho marble-white hand nnd arm that flutters like a bird over the case; with her sieves tucked up, printer-fashion, aud a hugo apron tied ubout her waist, to protect her pretty dresa, she looked as aud bright as a roso. I can seo her now by tho window, just ns she looked iu thoso Jays, with the oft summer wind playing amid her curls, and lifting tho ribbon ut her throat. Unconscious of Allen's admiration, sho briskly kept ou distributing tho damp types, regardless of tho lead-begrimed fingers that occasionally paused to tuck back a stray curl, at the risk of leaving a smuJgy stain on brow or cheek. Day after day our editor's son wandered into our room, until wo grew uccustomed to his presence, aud could work unembarrassed under his shnrp gaze. Unconsciously wo learned to look for his coming, nud miss something if his kind faco failed to smilo in upon us during the long afternoons thatwero now gradually verging into nutuinu.

Alleu was about thirty-three yeura of age, with black hair aud the blaskest of eyes, so full of depth and 'btreugth that ouo could easily guess tho lofty power and genius slumbering beneath tho polished exterior of the travelled man and scholar. Tho foreign-looking black whiskers aud moustache, gave a peculiar'cast to his ulmost steru features; but the full black eyes were pleusaut and tender, as if to atone for thu gruro mouth aud austere chiu. As I said, he camo often to seo us, and was want to linger near Alice iu a half-indolent, way, not in a manner to attract attentiau, however, llo was careful to avoid remarks. Sometimes ho would amuse himself by setting up au item, or iu looking over a column of proof, for ho ykas a g'ood priuter, and quite at home iu ull matters pertaining to the office. Somehow ho took a sudden fancy of indulging iu long chats with nie, much to tho detriment of my daily number of for you see I was engaged, nnd safe from ull malicious comments.

I knew it was only as au excuse to be near Alice, who was begiuuing to bo nervous and uneasy in his presence, startiug every time the door opened with a hopeful blush aud beamiug eye. AU tins 1 noteil, but made uo comments, confident that Cupid would con quer in. his own good timo. One afternoon, Allen surprised her by tak ing up a and rapidly setting up theso very plain words; 'MAY I WALK HOME WITH YOU TUI3 EVENING? Don't qkny mbj 1 will call at 1OofTy he placed this leaden note before Alice, aud, without a word, went out. Alico looked pained as well as pleased; evidently she doubted the propriety ot granting Lis to- quest.

'While she was debating the question in ber own mind, the ever-wutcutul und in quisitive assistant foreman came along, and when his keen glance would have scanned its contents, Bhe quickly brushed the 'stick to the floor, scattering her note in every tiou, an irredeemable mass of 'i'i. With a provoking frown, the assistant walked away, and 1 laughingly whispered; 'Surely, Alice, that is ouo way to dispose ot an invitation. 'I Bhall not go, she said thoughtfully: 'it would be neither wise nor I had my owu opinion on the subject, and fcltcertam that site would change iter mind for Allen had tender eyes and a persuadiug tongue, and, more than all, Alice loved him. At the appointed hour be camo, but bravely kept on with her work. ho said, iu a uot-to-be denied touo.

'It is a beautiful afternoon. The twilight will be charming, and I want to enjoy it with you. 'Kxcuso she replied, carefully justify ing her lines without looking up. '1 shall be detained luter thun usual ia the office tonight Our Paris letter is in, and must be ready for proof by tight o'clock.

The foreman can complain, Bimling at mo roguishly, 'can he, Miss Mary? Ihus urged, sho acquiesced, nnd together they wont out, leaving mo to morulizo on the heart's inconsistencies, nnd to work tho Fans letter. After this Alico becamo strangely restless and abstracted, llcr woik fretted her, sho said, vowing that see always got tho worst copy, and never had any rest.

While tho con gregation were collected at church, on a certain occasion, nn old, dark, hard-hearted skin aud bone individual was wending his way up the isle, and took bis scut near the pulpit Tho officiating miuitter was ouo of that class who detested written sermons, and as for prayers he thought they ought to be natural outponngs ot the heart. Alter singing was concluded, they were, as usual, cull ed to prayer. The genius we have iutroduco- ed did not kneel, but leaned his head aovo-tiouully upon his pew.

From tho Jtllwnnko Free Democrat- Cure for Cancer. Our attention has lately been called to a cure for cancer, which is of so much importance that we wish to make it known as widely as possible Somo eight mouths ago, Mr. T. 13. Mason who keeps a 'music store on Wisconsin street, and is a brother of the well-known Lowell Mason ascertained that he had a cancer on the side of his faco tho size 4 of a pea.

It was cut out by Dr. Wolcott, nnd the wound partially healed. Subsequently it grew again, and whilo he was in Ciu-ciunatti on business it attained the size of a hickory-nut. lie has remained there since Christmas, tinder treatment, and has corn-back perfectly cured. The process is this: A pieco of sticking plaster was put over tho cancer, with a circular piece cut out of the center a littlo larger than tho cancer, aud a small circular rim of healthy skin next to it was exposed.

Then a plaster mado of chloride of zinc, blood-root aud wheat flour was spread on a pieco of muslin of tho size of this circular opeuing, aud applied to the cancer for twenty-four hours. On removing it tho cancer will bo found to bo burnt into, and appear of tho color and hardness of nn old shoo sole, aud the circular rim outsido of it will oppear whito and parboiled, as if scalded by hot steam. Tho wound is now dressed, and the outsido rim soon suppurates and the enncer comes out a hard lump, und tho placo heals up. The plaster kills the cancer so that it sloughs out liko dead tlesh, und never grows again. This remedy was discovered by Dr.

Fell of London, aud has been used by him for six or eight years, with unfuiling success, and not a case has been known of tho reappearance of the cancer whero this remedy has been applied. has the sauctiou of tho most eminent physicians and surgeons of Loudon, but has not beeu used in this country until rcceutly, nud many of tho faculty, with their proverbial opposition to innovations, look upou it with distrust We saw Mr. Mason at church yestorday, and huve Biuco conversed with him, and took particular notice of the cicratized wound, und. can only say that if the euro is parmaueut and, from tho evidence oT six or eight yeiW experience iu other cases, wo havo no doubt it is tha remedy ought to bo universally known. Wo have referred to this case because Mr.

Mason is well known, both hero and iu tho Fast The experiment excited much interest in Cinciimatt.i, and wo call thu attention of the faculty iu this State to tho remedy. If it is what is claimed fur it, this terrible dixeuso will be shorn of most of its terrors. Tho application is painful, but the pain is of comparative short duration, which-any one so ailiicted would cheerfully endure- "Olivia," in tho Philadelphia Press, gives woman's rights women thut indefinite but fuurful thing known as "fits."
