taer> and s.siers nave always lived
l ne <iiy, aud they don't knythiug
>nt how we live out here. If Minnie
au been educated like them it isu’
likely she would ever have had any
thing to do with me I never toid
Minnie anything about the ranch be
cause she never asked me anything
about business, and I liked to have her
trust me that way. Besides, 1 wanted
to surprise her some .ime with all my
Tdce arrangements. I used to often say
I’d build a little shanty of out shakes,
and we’d be king and queen in it, aud
live on atr and sunshine.
“There was an old bachelor had a
large ranch, not far from the little
place where Minnie’s father and moth
er lived. People said be was worth
$10,000, but I never believed it. After
a while I began to meet him there pret
ty often, but neyer minded it at all,
for I thought, ol course, he came to taik
over stock with her father. The old
m^n, Minnie’s father, v/as full of hi
notions about stock, though lie never
got hold of more than a dcz«n cows a
a time, and Spanish catt'e at that. I
never thought of being jealous, but it
did trouble itn the way the old folks
treated me. Thev seemed to thiuk I
had no right to come there at ail, and
they didn’t waste any politeness on
me. 1 would not have cared much for
that, either, for Minnie seemed fonder
of me than ever, though she didn’t
show it much before them; but some
thing was troubling her, I could see
Sometimes when I went there she look
ed so downhearted I kuew she had
been crying. I would laugh and joke
to cheer her up, till she would laugh,
too, just like her old self; then, when I
was about to leave, the sad look would
come back, a'd she would
hardly let me go. Of course I began
to understand what it ell meant, but I
was so sure of Minnie I felt like snap
ping my lingers at all the rest. I did
not think, you see, how young she
and how much they might do to influ
ence her—it’s likely they w ere at ner
ali the time.
“One time the young folks were get
ting up a ride. We were going down
to T-.'ki fora dance and supper, aud
then back by moonlight. I went to
tell Minnie about it, and see if she
WonW go.
“‘Yes,’ said she, *1 am going, ‘but I
can’t go with you Ernest, for I have
promised Mr. Murphy.’
“Then I knew she was going to give
up, and it made me so mad —and sorry
too, that I couldn’t say one word, but
just walked out ol the house, without
even a ‘good by.’ It was a week
before I cooled down enough to go aud
see her again. She didu’t say any
thing about my staying away, but the
heavy look In her eyes made me feel
very bad. I tried to ask her kindly
how she liked the party, but my voice
must have sounded hard, lor she an
swered up quick that they had a splen
did time. Then I couldn’t hold iu any
longer, and just said;
“‘Now, Minnie, you must just
choose between us two; things can’t
go on this way any more. Are you g(
ing to marry Mr. Murphy, or are you
going to marry me?’
“ *Oh, Ernest,’ said she, ‘you know
Mr. Murphy esn do so muoh for father
and mother. Father hasn’t much aud
he’s getting oid, aud they have no one
but me.’
“‘D j you <hink I would let them
suffer?’ said I. I was too proud then
to speak of my raucii or any of my
plans.
•• ‘Why, no,’ she said, ‘but he’s rich,
you know, and he’s going to pay fath
er’s debts and sot hun up.’ Then I
said:
‘“Tell me, Minnie, once for all, do
you like nim better than you do me?”
“I couldn’t keep my voice quite
steady, a«d she began to cry.
“ ‘Oh, Ernes'!’ she said, ‘don’t don’t
ask me mat, for I have given him my
promise,
“‘Then,’ I said, ‘you’ll have to take
back the promise you gave me.’ And
I left the home, aud uever weut back,
you m*y be sure.
“Thecuuuing, meau old fellow! He
knew he couldn’t get her with just his
money, so he kept, telling her what he
would do lor her parent*-; but how
could thev be so mean and cruel?
“Weli, I stayed around my ranch
till they were inarriod, and then I went
off and left everything. I have never
had anything to speak of since. About
three years after I did take to saving
my mouey, aud got together quite a lit
tle sum, wtien business kept me a few
days iu Tokita. ’Then it came out how
much that skinfliut Murphy had done
f<>r Minnie’s parent’s. He had bought
the poor little place they had been hir
ing for yoars, aud put them in
possession; but he had secured himself
the few hundreds it cost by a mortgage
on it, aud now, I heard, he was going
to foreclose and turn them out. I
cou’dn’t bear to put my little pile into
his scrawny hand, but then I w~as not
g )ing to see those poor old people
turned out of their home—I was or T y
glad that I had money enough. He
gave them back the mortgage with a
great flourish of generosity, and ol
course 1 never told how it was. That
was the only time I have seen Minnie
iu these five years, She did not seem
to be getting much good of that forty
thousaud dollars, for things looked as
though there had never been much
money on the premises. She looked a
good deal older, and when I asked how
she was getting along, she just burst
out crying. I felt so bad I didn’t know
what to do.”
The poor fellow looked so thorough
ly grieved at the thought of her suffer
ing that I lelt my own eyes grow dim
“A sad, sad stwry,” said I, “yet, after
all, Ernest, does it not seem a* though
she had more to bear than you?”
“Why, yes—that is the wor^t of it. If
I thought she was comfortable and hap
py, it wouldn’t hurt me so,”
“But, Ernest, no one would ever
guess you had had such an experience,
to aee you llirting with the girls as you
do.” , T .
“And yet, until this year, I have
scarcely spoken to a woman, except the
one I boarded with.”
“What was that lor? Ferbaps there j
are just a few good, sensible people in
the world who do not value money
above ail things. Do you think I do,
for instance?”
“No, you don’t.”
“Aud i do not think you do, Ernes’,
with ail your talk. Fossib.y there are
others.”
“Yes, I know; and I'm going to try
and be good now.”
“Glad to hear it. Ah! what do I see
yonder? Methinks ’tis the milk-white
doe. Who’ll reach her iirsi?” And oil
we raced after the young girl, a great
favorite of mine.”
“Of course the young man won the
race. _ ,,
“Good afternoon, Miss Emma.
“How d’you do, Mips Carby?”
b, we’ve been having a long ride,
and I’m so tired. Here’s Ernest pon
dering how women can be so weak, i o U
our way, I believe;” ami I mnde
room lor the white pony between us.
Pretty soon I saw the little witch
leaning over to see if her saddle was
tru0 « , , ,, ., T ,
“Better have it smehed up,’ said Er
nest, “before we go down the long
hill.” S'* he helped her off, and she
held bis horse wmie hd tignteued her
•sinch.’ .
“Oh, these women,” said he; ^ wliai
would they do without the men?”
“And oh, these men,” said 1; “what
would they do il they couldn’t wait on
the women?” x , . , .
Then she put her little foot into his
hand and sprang into the saddle. The
thousand Jittie airs that accompanied
tuis performance were indescribably
amusing to me.
That evening Ernest played a soft
accompaniament o*.i his violin while i
sang “The Haunted Spring.” I thought
the voung man needed a warning. Ibe
uaiiad recounted how the hunter bold
pursued the ‘noilk white doe to the
verge of the hauutt d spring. There he
found a lady fair ‘in robe ol while,
and pledged her his knightly laith
upon a ring drawn from the fountain.
“To see you and Miss Emma togeth-*
er makes the s'or.v yon told me seem
like a dream.” Sol knew he was not
“on with the new love” yet.
Early in the spring of last year an
incident occurred which brought this
story vividly to my mind. I was trav
eling from Sacramento to San Fran
cisco, by way of Vallejo, when my at
tention was attracted ova pair of blue
eyes —for I hold it to he one of woman’s
peculiar rights to admire another wo
man if she feels like it. When we ex
changed the cars for the steamboat, I
noticed her more particularly, for she
sat next to me in the cabin. I observ
ed that she was still young, and per
haps less, lor trouble m°iy have made
the years pass heavily; that her pos
sessions included a neat and tasty trav
elling suit, also a little boy with a very
freckled face, and a wide-awake,
intelligent look in ! he bright, eyes—so
like his mother’s, I noticed—also tha~
the very sensible looking woman oo
the other side appeared to be her inti
mate friend,
1 coaxed little freckle-face to a va
cant seat beside me, and found abun
dant ''ccupation iu furnishing his very
inquiring mind How was I startled
by this exclamation from my amiable
friend:
“Ob, Minnie, d^n’t those look like
the mountains around Tokits?”
In one moment she seemed trans
formed from an attractive stranger into
f»n oi l aod familiar acquaintance, and
I coaid not resist the impulse to ad
dress her.
“Mrs. Murphy, isit not?”
“Y'es, that is my name ”
“i am Miss Carby of San Francisco.
The mention of Toki’amnst by my ex
cuse tor speaking. That is your home,
is if not?”
“It was not until my husband died
I live in Sacramento now. Have you
ever b«'en ir> Tokita?”
“No; out I once spent two pleasant
months in the county, and heard much
about anti from au early friend of
yours.”
“Pray, which of my friends cared to
speak of in* ?”
“It was Ernest Van D ^rn,”
“Thon you know him?”
“I did then, almost five years go, and
it gives me pleasure now lo recall my
acquaintance with him. You may im
agine how well I came to know him
sinco he told me how he los* - you.”
“Yes, indeed; for gay and lively as
he was; he scarcely ever spoke of any
thing he felt very much. Poor Ernes’!
lie was i great deai too good lor me But
truly, Miss Carby, I would never have
done as I did ol my own free choice.
They urged me to it until I was almost
distracted ”
They? Whc? I did not ask; and soon
I learned that father and mother both
were dead; that her husband’s reputed
wealth vanished like a morning dream
—that he died, leaving a heavy mort
gage upon the ranch, so that she real
ized but a small sum from the sale of
the property. This sum she bad taken
to fSacramento, and had gone into the
millinery business with this “sensible
lrieud ”
At last she said: “Really, Miss Carby
you must have some witchcraft for
finding out private histories. I am not
so m uch surprised that Ernest toldjyou
his ”
But, after all, I had not learned what
I very much wanted - to know; to what
extent her iate husband had made her
life with him uuhappy; what were her
nresent feelings iu regard to Ernest
Van Dorn; and especially, what would
be the result if he should now appear
before her, still “tender and true.” It
was plain that she had been gathering
wisdom and strength of character in
the years that had passed, whether dark
or bright. Many a time, iu the months
that followed, I f ’und myself fancying
how these two might come together,
and their lives be filled at last with a
love all the deeper and richer for what
they had passed through. Still grew
fhe earnest desire, and finally the con
fident hope that I might have a share
in bringing about this delightful con
summation.
It was with this hope strong within
me that I looked forward to a week’s
sojourn at a farmhouse in Napa valley
—thinking vaguely and unreasonably
that now should come my long sought
opportunity, Not that I had been quite
idle iu the matter heretofore; 1 had
written to the neighborhood where I
had met Ernest Van Dorn, making in
quiries about him. But tfie iuoorrigi-
ule rover had gone from there, leaving
no track, and no one knew of his
whereabouts. What reason had I
think our paths would ever cross again?
Ah! my foolish hope was but rushing
on to its sure destruction.
The evening oi my arrival at the farm
of my friend Sampson—the warmest
ni^bt of the season they called it—we
we sat with the doors and windows all
open, congratulating ourselves that
such a night was rare enough to be
counted a luxury. We were gathered
around the sitting room table. The
outer door was behind me,and a juven
_le Mampson on ehiter side of me, as I
gazed absorbed, through the open win
dow, watching the harvest moon as it
swelled up round and rosy above the
dark, mysterious mountains. Friend
Sampson evidently imagined that uiy
interest was centered on a smaller
mountain of wheat sacks that stood iu
the middle distance, for he said:
That farm yond- r belongs to an old
acquaintance of yours. I never shou'd
have thought of his being one of your
friends if he hadn’t been so mighty
pleased when I happen el to say you
were corniug. Says he-*”
What, I shall never know, for a
voice broke in from the outer door,
whose hearty tones, once so familiar,
started me from my chair.
Mr. Van Dorn! You here?”
Seems so. Never mind, Freddie,
she didu’t meau to upset you.” This
to the little Sampson whom he rescued
Irom his forced position upon the Uoor.
“I heard you were corniug to-day, and
thought I’d run over to see you just a
ininiue ”
Over from where? Not all the way
Irom Tokita?”
Hardly. That’s ranch over there--
the one nexttothis. You see I’m not
quite the good-for-nothing you once
called me ”
As though I ever had called you
so ”
“Well, you thought it anyway. I
tried to get my wifd to come over with
tee, but she said she couldn’t this
evening, aud she hoped you would
leave ail ceremony and come over to
morrow evening to make us a visit.
We don’t have visitors enough up here
to keep us in manners, but we’re glad
enough to see them especially if they
are old friends, ^“You’il come, won’t
yoi ?”
“Yes, perhaps.” I hardly knew what
I said, lor I was at a funeral then—Lhe
funeral ol my poor dead hope.
He was gone, and I was at liberty to
consider bow very uatural was this re
sult, and how little foundation there
had ever been for the faucy that he
would continue always faithful to the
old love, who had beeu false to him;
above all, how hopeless had been the
task I had set myself 1 was disap
pointed, vexed with myseif. aud par
ticularly vexed with Ernest. Plainly, I
was too cross to be c-l ary further use
as a member of society for that even
ing, so nothing remaiued but to bid the
family good night and retire.
How I turned the matter over in my
mind, wondering who the wife might
be of whom he evidently was so proud,
it could not be the “Milk-white Doe,”
for I had read of her marriage in the
papor, aud afterward ol her death, poor
gir<! one advantage of always reading
those notices. I considered, too,
whether he had ever seen the widow,
Minnie; whether she knew of his mar
riage, and if so, what she thought ol it.
Then my conscience smote me with a
scourga of small ohords, as I remem
bered how I had tried, by skilliul
praises of her early lover, to revive her
oid love for him, and by the story of
his five years mourning to awakeo a
new hope in her heart. Foolish med
dler! what if I had succeeded
Sleep found me in the firm resolve
not to make the half promised visit,
and to let Mr. Van Dorn and ‘my wile’
elaborately alone. But in the morning
curiosity triumphed, and I weut. I
passed through friend Sampson’s pas
ture lot and out into the road, then
turned into a stubble field on the oth
er side of the highway and so on, op
to lhe garden gate; then paused among
the roses to inspeot the house. This
was 8ubstauLial aud comfortable, neith
er showy nor very new; probably not j A Tartar Duel.—The “forehead
of Ernest’s building ar all. A wide . fight,” a nrutH combat inherited from

side, the front portion being embower

Ernest met me in the garden, and led
me in with an exultant air, as though
I ought to be as delighted as he was—
the egotist.
For once my obligations were ful
filled. for what did I behold but the
blue eyes and bonny hair of mv charm
ing fellow-traveller, aud just behind
her litt'e freckle-f^ce!
“Po this is Mrs. Van Dorn?”
“Yes, this is my wife. I think y^u
have seen her before, and I'm quite
sure you have heard ol her.”
“Please tell me,” I said, “how long
is it si ice Mistress Minnie became ‘my
wife’ ?”
She answered for him: “We were
married just week from lhe day I
saw you.”—[Vanity Fair.
A TEkUlPLE 1UDE.
Walla Walla Union.]
Sinc8 the completion of tho Northern
Paciliic the great body of eastern
tramps have turned their attention to
that thoroughfare over which to make
their regular pilgrimages from the
land of the rising to that of the setting
sun. Being a new road, they can make
longer distances before being discover
ed than they can on the pioneer route,
where they are often roughly handled
by the train men. Several days ago
there started from St. Paul two tramps,
one an old veteran, whose only cloth
ing was a few old rags which barely
hung on his body by shreds. His
physiognomy indicated that his bever
age was stronger than water. His part
ner iu the western pilgrimage wa3 a
young man of fine physique and ap*
pearance, save a certain b'ase appear
ance gained only by dissipation.
The ride west, until Like Pend '".’Or
eille was reached, was made without
any particular sensation—as far as the
tramp 1 were concerned. At times they
rode on top of the passenger coaches,
while at other times they rode on the
brake beams. This latter mode to a
novice in the business, would furnish a
more thrilling narrative than bargained
lor. Tue ride laeflecled by sitting on
the break beam, a timber about lour
inebfs wide, and wheu tho breaks are
off tne beam, which is huog on linked
iron rods, vacillates wi’h every move-
n-ent ol the coach. Equilibrium is
maintained by placing tne feet against
the truss rods and grasping a cross rod
wi h the hands. Iu this manner the
t wo tramps traveled. By some means
or oi her they managed to keep a sup
ply of bad whisky on hand, a liberal
quantity of which they consumed, re
maining in a semi drunken condition.
At Hope Station a short stop was
made, giving the tramps a chance to
stre‘ch their cramped limbs. This was
on Thursday, at 7:24 p. in. As the cars
rolled out from thes ation tue tramps
resumed their perilous posi’ious. Sand
Point whs reached, and when a short
distance from the station the younger
of the tramps lost his balance, but
muddled as his brain was, he realiz'd
that, if ho let go his hold he would be
crushed to pieces, as the traiu was thon
going at the rate of thirty miles per
hour. With his feet dragging on the
ties he maintained his grip on the cross
oar, aud held that position until Coco-
lala was reached. When Conductor
Downing made his usual round, in
specting the cars, the tramps were dis
covered in their place of hidiug, and
wiien ordered to come out the elder ol
the two gladly obeyed the summons,
while the your g man let go his hold
and fell on the track. The moment the
conductor threw up h’s lantern a horri
ble sight met his eves. There lay tho
man with both his feet and legs dear
up the knees worn to the bone. The
instep bonos were worn nearly through
while the llesb on the calves of the legs
was hsngtug in shreds. His knee-
joints were crushed. Gravei nnd dirt
had worked into what little flesh re
mained,and when the unfortuuate man
was carried into the car and his legs
straigh’eued out the bones creaked
like a door hung on rusty hinges.
Although suffering untold miseries,
young Dailatn said that if it hadn’t
been for whisky the accident would
not have happoued. He said his ri le of
diteen miles seemed to him as ceutu
rles As his dangling legs struck the
ties he said hours seemed to intervene,
yet, unconscious l y, he held on, suffer
ing every agooy possible fora human
being to suffer. Dallam’s partner
seamed to take the matter iightiy, sim

POMPEII.
In these deserted streets life sudden
ly stopped 1800 years ago. It is truth
that the destruction was not instanta
neous, and a great number of inhabi
tants saved their lives, and even took
away a good deal of their treasure. But
enough was left to show us every de
tail of Roman life. The old world is
set before us, with all its good and its
evil, its glories and its shames. We
know what manner of men aud wo
men they must have been, and what
their daily lives were like, almost as
well as if we had actually dwelt among
them. These old Pompeiians were
very modern. There is nothing new
under the suu. They had foldingdoors
and hot water urns; they put gratings
to their windows, and made rockeries
in their gardens; their steelyards are
exactly like those your own cheese
monger uses to weigh his Cheddars
and Gio’sters. Their children had toys
like curs —bears, lions, pigs, cats, dogs
—mule of clay, and some lines nerving
as jugs also Poor children! poor
mother*-! How did they fare iu tho*®
three days ot' darkness and dismay?
People wrote on walis and cut their
names on seats, just as we do now.They
kept birds in cages. Iu Naples to-day,
as you walk aloDg the Chiaja, you may
find yourseif in the midst of a herd of
goats, with bells around their necks,
exactly like those in the museum
They gave tokens at the door ol their
places of entertaininents—the people
in the gallery had pigeons made of a
sort of terra cotta They put iamps in
side the hollow ey©3 ot the masks that
adorned their fountains. They even
made grottoes of shells—vulgarity it
self is ancient. They ate sausages and
hung up strings of onions. They had
stands for public vehicles, and the
schoolmaster u*ed a birch on the dunce.
Thev put stepping slones across lhe
roads, and the dainty young patrician
gentleman and the pursy old senators
might not soil their gilded sandals. It
was never cold enough for their pipes
to burst, but they turned their waier
on and off with tap*-; aud their cook
shops had marble counters. They
clappei their offenders into the stocks
—two gladiators were kept there about
1 500 years When their crockery broke
they riveted it. At Herculaneum there
is a huge wine jar hall buried in the
earth. It has been badly broken, but
it is neatly riveted, with many rivets,
and it no doubt held the wine as well
as ever. Those rivets have lasted 1.80J
year*-! It is a strange thing to think
about. What would the housewife
have said if some one had told b*-r that
her cracked pot would outlast the Ro
man empire?

districts among the Tartars of the Cri
mea. A duel of this savage kind took
place a short time ago iu a Crimean vil
lage The report of it is given by a
physician who was called to attend the
defeated combatant. The two foes take
their stand at a measured distance from
each other with their heads bent for
ward; then at a given signal they rush
at one another butting forehead against
forehead like two goats The remainder
of the duel is fought wholly with the
forehead; neither blows nor kicks a»e
permitted, as the man who uses any
weapon except his forehead is dis
graced In th9 recent case blood stream
ed from the foreheads of both tho semi-
savages, nevertheless tuey continued
buffing at eaoh other with ferocious
passion until at length one of them fell
exhausted to the earth He gathered up
all his remaining strength to draw his
kife from his girdle, and with one de
termined stroke he cut a wide gash
across his throat. The physician states
that the act of suie de on the part of the
beaten man is to be regarded as a di«
rect consequence of the injury done to
the brain by the fearful concussions of
the fight.
A Rabbit’s Eyes for a Man.—A
remarkable operation was performed
by Dr Eugene Smith, yesterday, before
a clinic of the Detroit medical college
at St Mary’s hospital, a number ol
Michigan college of medicine students
being present by courtesy to witness
the operation. The subject was Fred.
Meyers, aged 19, who had been totally
blind for several years on account of an
ir»flamma’ion which caused the lower
lid of each eve to grow up over the ball
and pupil. Dr Smith’s operation yes
terday consisted first of dissecting
av/ay the overgrown lid. In doing this
the cot junctiva, or mucus membrane
necessarily came away with it, leaving
the eyeball unprotected. The patient
was under the influence of chloroform
and a live rabbit had been procured
and also placed under an armffhetic
Skillfully removing the conjunctiva
from one of the rabbit’s eyes, Dr Smith
placed it ov®r the ball ol the patient’s
eye and sewed it into place. The ope
ration se mied entirely successful, and
after M«yers has recovered |and is able
to use the eye, the o' her will be opera
ted upon in a similar manner. The
transplanting of the conjuctiva, or mu
cus membrane, from the eye of an an
imal to that of a human being has been
successfully performed in a few rare
cases iu Europe, but yesterday’s oper
ation was the first of the kind ever at
tempted in this country.—[Detroit
News.
The Husbvnd’s Off *btunity.—It
is doubtful whether the male head of a
family often appreciates the opportuni
ty he has for diffusing sunshine at
home, or comprehends how much of
gloom he can bring wirn him in a
troubled iace and moody temper from
the ( ifice or the street. The house
mother is within four walls from
morning till dinner time, with few ex
cep ions, aud must bear the worriment
of fretful children, inefficient servants,
weak nerves and unexpected callers.
And she must do this day af’erday,
with monotonous regularity. The hus
band goes out from the petty details
of home care. He meets friends. He
feels the excitement of business oompe
tiiioa. He has the bracing influence of
the outdoor walk or ride. If be will
come home cheerful and buoyant his
presence is like a refreshing breeze
He has it in his power to brighten the
household life, and add to fhe genera!
happiness in a way that no men has the
right to forget or neglect.—[Outing,
Choosing a Wife,—Never marry a
woman merely because she bes a hand
some face or a we 1-turned figure, for
wesoonen become insensible to an
gelic forms and laces If her counten
ance lias life and intelligence, if her
walk and carriage are modest and lady
like, and if the whole appearance indi
cate she has mind, heart and soul, why
she is worth all the simpering, minc
ing, flirtiug, affected misses that ever
brought good looks as their only mar
riage dower. If the fair one you are
addressing is rich in houses, lands, bank
stocks or railway shares, her worldly
gear should not prove an insurmount
able objection; but If she is poor, like
yourself, so much the better. There
i* nothing like a young couple about
ilie age of twenty, starting in life
with fond heart*, clear heads, r'asy con
sciences and empty pockets. You have
somethinr to hope lor, to work for, to
live for, Y'our early struggles with the
crosses ot this life will only bind you
the closer to your young, ardent and
loving wife.
Help Yourself —People who have
been boistered up and levered all their
lives are seldom good f >r anything in
a crisis. When misfortune comes they
look around for something to cling
or lean upon. If the prop is not there
down they go.
Once down they are as helpless as
capsized turtles, or unhorsed men in
armor, and cannot find their feet again
without assistance.
Such silken fellows no more resem
ble self-made men, who have fought
their way to position, making difficul
ties their stepping stones, and deriving
determination from defeat, than vines
resemble oaks, or sputtering rush
lights the stars of heaven. Effors per
sisted in to achievements train a man
to self-reliance, and when he has prov
en to the world that he can trust him-
seU, the wold will trust him.
It is unwise to deprive young men of
the advantages which result from their
own energetic actiou by “boostin” them
over obstacles which they ought to sur
mount alone.
Turning the Sea on Satan.—A
Village Record reporter was informed
on reliable authority that the follow
ing story in reference to a Phceaixviile
mau whose mind has for some time
been not a little disturbed on subjects
pertaining to religion, is actually true
With a view to benefiting mankind
and getting rid ol Satan entirely, the
mau a few davs ago visited one of the
prominent school teachers of that place
and stated that be wanted him to join
in the advocacy ol an important scheme.
When asked to explain ne said: “The
Bible and all other religious works I
have read tell us that hell is beneath
as, Tnac must mean on the Inside ol
the world. Now, as the great volcano
Vesuvius is an opening to tne inside of
the earth, why could not a tunnel be
dug from it to the Mediterranean sea,
below the water level, and then cause
’he water of the sea to run into it to
drown the ‘old boy* oui?” The school
teacher did not promise to encourage
the scheme.
Three Kinds of English.—Lord
Coleridge says that every educated
speaker of English uses at least three
different languages. When he talks,
he uses coloquial Eogli*h; wnen he
writes he uses literary Euglish, and
when he reads his Bible he uses an an
tiquated form of Etiglish which from
its relations to modern culture, m^y
almost be called sacred English. So,
within one language there are at least
three languages, blending with and
overlapping each other, yet each inde
pendent of the other, having its own
forms, its own vocabulary, and its own
rules of use.

WUK nOBE AND SLEEP SOUNDLY
Mr John W Cole Principal of the Gaie
School, Troy, N Y, writes ns:
troy, N. Y., April 7,1883.
.“Having been afflicted f or several years
past with illness, the cause ol which was
unknown to me for a long time, and my
continued disability getting to be of so se
rious and distressing a character as to cause
great anxiety with my family and friends.
I became satisfied, upon close Investigation,
that the cause of my sickness was the dis
eased condition ol my kidneys and liver.
At this time, by accident, a friend who had
similar symptoms to mine informed me of
the great Improvement in his health by
taking Hunt’s Remedy, ar*d persuaded me
to try It. I Immediately commenced taking
it, and from the first bottle began to Ims
prove, and its continued use affords very
encouraging results. I can sleep soundly,
wa'k better, and free from phIds, and the
severe attacks of headache from which I
suffered so muen have disappeared, and I
cheerfully recommend Hunt’s Remedy for
all purposes for welch it Is advertised,
will add in closing that my wife has used
it very successfully for preventing theat>
tacks of sick headache with which she had
been afflicted from youth.”
ALMOST DISHEARTENED.
A prominent citizen sends us the follow
in« statement:
‘For several years I have been very seri
ously afflicted with a severe pain in the
back, wblch I long supposed to be lumbago
or rheumatism of tbe back. More recently
the pains had beoome more severe, so much
that it was with difficulty that I wa» able
to get out of bed In the morning. I had
tried various remedies without any appa*
rent re'lef. By the earnest solicitation of a
friend I commenced taking Hunt’s Reme
dy, about three weeks ago, aud its install ia*
neous benefits are wonderful, fori have had
no pains In my back since taking tbe first
three dopes; and am relieved fiom the
pains, aches and exhaustive weakness, the
painful symptoms that usually accompany
disease of the kidneys. And I confidently
expect to be completely and permanently
cured by the use of it. I most cheerfully
recommend Hunt’s Remedy to all who are
afflicted with any kidney or liver di^eo^e.

of the late eminent Judge Wilds, of the
Massachusetts Supremo Court, writes
as follows:
“ 78 E. f>ith St., Xew York, May 16,18^2.
Messrs. J. C. Ayf.h & Co., Gentlemen :
I^ist winter I was troubled with a most
uncomfortable itching humor affecting

intolerably at night, and burned so intense
ly, that I could scarcely bea

deal
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, by observatiou of
many other cases, and from personal use
in former years. 1 began taking it for tho
above-named disorders. My apj»etite im
proved almost front tbe first dose. After
a short tune the fever and itching were
allayed, and all signs of irritation of the
skin* disappeared. My catarrh ami cough
were also cured by the same means, and
my general health greatly improved, until
it*is now excellent. I feel a hundred per
cent stronger, ami I attribute these results
to the use of the Sarsaparilla, which
I recommend with all confidence as the
best blood medicine ever devised. 1 took
it in small doses three times a day, and
used, in all, less than two bottles. I place
these facts at your service, hoping their
publication may do good.
Yours respectfully, Z. P. Wilds.”
Tbe above instance is but one of the many
constantly coming to our notice, which prove
the perfect adaptability of Ayer’s Sarsa
parilla to the cure of all diseases arising
from impure .or impoverished blood, aud a
weakened vitality.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
cleanses, enriches, ami strengthens the blood,
stimulates the actiou of the stomach and

“In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected
