i Like an Evil Spirit.
In olden times it was thought that evil spirits came ni tnrouglUcracKS
and keyholes. The generally approved way to keep
up the keyholes and stop the cracks with
preventive measures, the evil things had their own way and often*cameJ > m
as they pleased. '*
-So comes malaria now-a-days. We try to keep it out of thcTkeyhole
and it comes in by the crack. We stop up the crack, and lo! it comes from
a leak in the plumbing, or an opening from some neglected drain,
some unsuspected source and unguarded direction
We cannot always keep malaria out, but we can give it battle Tand
drive its effects from our systems. If Brown’s Iron Bitters is taken in
time, malaria has not a ghost of a chance. This is the great family medi- 1
cine. Your druggist sells it, and you ought to keep a bottle in the house,*

A GAY DECEIVER.
A clear warm night late in Junc, the
sky starless, yet beautiful in spite of
its darkness, for the air trembles as
with a delicious sense of perfected sum
mer. Short green grass, dry and soft
to the foot; over it moves a crowd of
people in evening dress. The women
are mostly in white or very pale colors,
a few flash and glow in gorgeous trim
ming, well suiting the hour and place.
On every side gleam a myriad colored
lamps, flower beds are outlined with
innumerable little brilliant lights,
while'here and there a tree is changed
from itself into a strange fairy like
mass of pale foliage by a brilliant light
beneath it. The air is full of music,
full of fragance. Suddenly the band
begins to play -‘God savo the Queen.”
There is a general rising of those who
are lounging upon chairs, a general
taking off of hats, and the Royal par
ty passes down the broad walk among
the throng of well dressed men and
women.
It is a fete night at the Botanical
Gardens; nothing more extraordinary.
Yet the superb un-English stillness of
the night, the warm sweetness of the
air, (ills one with a certain excitement,
gaiety about the crowd; it is so delight
ful to stroll over the grass instead of
being packed like herrings in hot and
gas lit drawing rooms. And the sky
seems perfectly honest; there is no rain
cloud harbored above; even the grass
is innocent of dew. Who could help
being happy here.
Lord Ferdie was unhappy, merely
because he was alone and could not
meet any one who interested him. The
women of his set whom he met on the
promenade were dull or dowdy, he
cared for none of them; for he was hun
gry for excitement; ho had drunk well
at dinner, and he was well enough to
be affected by the soft midnight air.
He felt in the vein for adventure, but
he preserved a superb composnro, and
walked the promenade alone with an
air of indifference which would have
done credit to a much older masher.
For Lord Ferdie, though a magnfiicent
specimen of our gilded youth, had one
great fault—he was terribly young.
His close cropped hair, his perfect
shirt front, his solitary diamond stud,
his broad shoulders and admirable
coat—all was unimpeachable, but his
upper lip had as yet but the faintest
of downy growths. But the anxious
mothers with marriageable daughters
liked him none the less for that. They
bore down upon him, but he avaded
them all. For Lord Ferdie had found
out what a bore it is to be made love
to by anxious mothers and marriage
able daughters. Their attentions had
already given a great opinion of his
own worth, and of the superiority of
his fascinating powers, so he walked
about alone, the admiration alike of
the women and of the less gorgeous
members of his own sex; and he was
hungering for amusement as a school
boy hungers for tarts. The brilliance
of the scene, the icented warmth of
the air, made him desire something dif
ferent from the dull society lie saw
about him.
j JOHKT R. SHAW, :
Forsyth Street,
j . AMERICUS GA. :
Suddenly a flash from a pair of
gleaming black eyes came straight in
to his own. The look wat so direct
and full of meaning that it affected
him almost like an electric shock. He
turned and saw passing him a slight
figure draped in masses of white lace.
Two dark-red roses were fastened on
her shoulder. He went to the end of
the walk, and when he returned kept
a keen look out for the white lace and
crimson roses, and the burning black
eyes. At last he saw her coming.—
She seemed to be aware of bis ap
proach; for just as she passed him she
lifted her eyes and fastened them again
upon his. There was something fierce
and gypsy-like about her face. Fram
ed in the cloud of white lace, it looked
strangely handsome. The full crim
son lips trembled, as if they were ripe
for kissing. Lord Fredie realized sud
denly, as she passed him, that he
was walking alone. He turned imme
diately and followed her. In a few
moments she left the promenade and
went to an empty chair at the side;
here she sat down. Lord Ferdie lin
gered near and watched her. Evident
ly she was perfectly well aware of his
neighborhood. Now and again sho
would turn her eyes upon him for one
swift instant. At last she rose and
wandered slowly over the grass. It
looked awfully tempting thought Lord
Ferdie. He hesitated one moment on
ly; the next he lollowed her. Bbe
walked very slowly across the grass,
among the people who were moving
over it, toward a thick group of trees,
where were no illuminations. Thi*
favored spot had already been discov
ered. Here and there a white dress
gleamed; and very, very close might
be seen the fair surface of a shirt front.
Evidently the nook was well approv
ed by lovers. Lord Ferdio’s fair un
known moved on with a slow step, and
at last paused altogether. He was at
her side. She looked up in his face
with those fiery black eyes of hers and
stammered, "I have lost my way.”
“Are yon alone?” asked Ferdie.
She hesitated a moment, then said:
“I was with my brother only a few
moments ago; but I can’t see hiaa aay
where.”
“Don’t look for him yet,” said Lord
Ferdie, drinking in courage from the
bold black eyes. “It is delightful
here.”
The lady assented with a sigh of
content. There were some Chairs Close
to her which had been left recently by
another couple, who had looked for
excitement aside from the throng. She
sat down on one of these; Lord Ferdie,
representing a faint feeling of surprise
at her ready acceptance of his sugges
tion, sat down on the other.
The hour that now passed had wings
of the swiftest; mere tiothings were
uttered, yet they savored, to those who
spoke and heard, of the raciest wit.
The sparkling words were almost
whispered for a gleaming stud in the
mist of white expanse and a crimson
cloak were to he seen very near, though
no voice could he heard. Across the
grass on the broad walk the crowd
promenaded, finding pleasure in num
bers. Lord Ferdie and his companion
had no desire to join it. For he was
perfectly satisfied that the adventure
ho had desired had come to him; he
was puffed up like a pouter pigeon,
with joy at his success as a lady-kill
er and he was very much excited and
fascinated by the dark eyes, whose
gleam he could see in the shadow and
whose power made him thrill when
they looked straight into his own.
As for his companion, her heart was
beating wildly beneath the draperies
of white lace.
At last she rose rather suddenly. “I
must go,” she said, with a poeitive
air.
“Absolutely?”
“Yes; I can not find my brother in
this crowd. I will go home.”
“Let me take you to your carriage,
then,” said Lord Ferdie.
She made no answer, but let him
accompany her across the grass. At
the gate there was no great throng; it
was not yet midnight, and the air was
so sweet'that all who had no other
engagement were glad to linger in the
gardens till they closed.
“Shall I have your carriage called?”
asked Lord Ferdie, thinking, with de
light, that now he must know her
name.
“No,” she answered nervously,
“there are so many. I will walk to
it.”
Lord Ferdie liked this almost as
well, tor it gave him a few moments
more of her society. But these mo
ments were brief. She stopped before
long at the door of a brougham; a foot
man immediately came forward and
opened it for her. Sho bowed to Lord
Ferdie, who remained planted where
he stood while the carriage drove away
Foi he saw upon it a coronet; he knew
the family to which itbolonged, it was
one of the groatest in the land. Did
it number such a gay' Bohemian, such
a fiery gipsy as this lady of the gleam
ing eyes among its members. And
had he so absolutely stolen her heart
at first sight as to obtain an interview
which savored of the days of Cremorne?
Lord Ferdie became visibly broader
and taller; he strutted back into the
garden with an air as if he were the
approved A I lady-killer and masher
of the day.
His idea was to look for the brother,
with whom he had a slight acquain
tance. But he could see nething of
him; so last he went home, too excited
to do anything hut walk llis room and
think of his inamorata. Lord Ferdie
wa by nature a braggart, and he
passed a great deal of the night form
ing careful phrases, in which he might
boast of his conquest at the clubs.
In the morning, while he was dis
cussing devilled kidneys, a note was
brought him. It was in an unknown
hand, bnt the writing was distinguish
ed in appearance to excite his curiosity
He opened the envelope languidly, but
the languor vanished as he read:
“My Lord—For God’s Bake don’t
ruin a poor girl by telling of last night
James, my brother (thefootman), told
me he knew yon, and that you knew
the Duke. If it is so, I must tell you
the truth and implore you to be kind.
lam her Grace’s own maid, and she
was called out of town suddenly yes
terday, leaving cycrything about. I
didn’t take you for a real gentleman,
my Lord, or I never would have spoke
to you. James has promised to carry
this; it was partly his fault, because
he said the hones wanted exercise,
and it could do no harm. He says
you, being a gentleman, won’t say
nothing; and I hope so; and, believe
me, if I had known gentlemen wore
such big studs, and swaggered so, I
wonld not have made the mistake. At
the same time, my lord, if you wishs
to see me again, I am going out this
very afternoon, and shall be at Hyde
Park Corner at .‘S. Yours very hum
bly, Jake Smith.
Lord Ferdile did not keep the ap
pointment. He ran down to his fa
ther’s country seat for a day or two,
where he gave himself up to reflection
on the folly of yielding to a desire for
excitement when one has had enough
ebampaigne, and the night air is warm
•nd sweet.
As for Jane Smith he felt a revul
sion of feeling; it seemed to him that
for the first time in his life be could
bate heartily.

A Lord’s Experience in Arkansas
Arkansaw Traveler.
Lord liiggleton, who camo to Ar
kansas with a view to the purchase of
a large tract of timber land, does not
like certain social conditions which he
found in the remote regions where the
steam whistle has never disturbed the
quiet f the squatter.
Some time ago, while riding along
through the woods, he lost the pre
tence of a road he had been attempting
to follow. Night came, bringing with
it a heavy black cloud from which a
torrent of rain began to pour, .lust
as he had despaired of finding a place
of shelter, he saw a small light gleam
ing ;among the trees. Guiding his
horse in that direction, he soon camo
to a fence surrounding a small house.
“Say, my good man, he called.
“You Let I’m a good man,” replied
someone, opening the door. "I’m
counted the best man in this commu
nity. No longer ago than yesterday I
flung Abe Nuckle, don’t know Abe, I
reckin?”
“No, lam not acquainted in this
country,” and thinking to impress the
man with his rank, which in America
he knew was always toadied to, he add
ed: “I am the Lord ”
The devil you say! Then I reckon
you are a stranger here. Jnle,” tam
ing to his wife, “git up. The Lord's

“You don’t understand me,” said
the Earl of liiggleton, waiting for an
invitation before dismounting. “I say
I am the Lord ”
“Oh, yes, I understand. Ain’t been
much acquainted with yer in the past,
but I reckin I kin make up fur lost
time in the futur.”
“I’m wet as a drowned rat, dont you
know ”
“Don’t know podner—scuzo the fa
miliarity—but I have reason ter jedge
that you air. Never seed a man that
could stay out in the rain without get
ting sorter damp.”
“Look here, I’m tired of this fool
ishness.”
“I’m looking thar but I kaint see
nothin.’”
“Well, blast yer bloody hide, have
you not got sense enough to ask a man
in out of the rain?”
“Reckin’ I’ve got the sense, but I
ain’t got a bloody hide, an’ it would
take a good un to bloody it. If you
don’t believe it, jus’ slip-shuck your

“You, pap,” called the woman, “let

“1 ain’t going to pester him, lessen
he ags it on, but I don’t care if lie’s

he can’t tamper with me.”
“You persist in misconstruing what I
say,” said Lord Higglcton.
“Jule did you hear that word? Dad

“I want to come into your house
and dry myself by tho fire.”
“Then come on, fur you are as wel

proached; “you didn’t say that yon

He Didn’t Want the Jug
Stretched.
A day or two since a Norwich man
carried a jug to a cash grocery to have
it filled with New Orleans molasses.
He was the head of a big family, and
had a large jug, hence bought at the
most favorable prices. Later in the
day when he ealled for it he was sur
prised to learn that the price was near
ly $5.
“How is this, ask,d the buyer, has
molasses gone up?
“Oh, no replied the grocery man, “I
am selling at the same price.”
“Well, how much does that jag
hold?” inquired the purchaser.
“Six gallons,” responded the seller.
“I have tried time and again,”
said the owner of the jug, “to get live
gallons of molasses in the jug but could
not, bnt I bate to have that jug stretch
ed no.’-’
The grocery man said he would let
off a gallon in the price and call it
square, and in that way the difference
was settled. —Norwich Bulletin.

Rheumatism so severe that I could not
move from the bed, or dress, without help.
1 tried several remedies without much if
any relief, until 1 took Ayer’s Sarsapa

was completely cured. 1 have not been
troubled with the Kheumatism since.
Have sold largo quantities of your

wonderful popularity. The many notable
cures it has effected in this vicinity con

ever offered to the public.

“ Last March I was so weak from gener
al debility that 1 could not walk without
help. Following the advice of a friend, I
commenced taking Ayer’s Sarhaparilla,
and before I had used three bottles I felt
as well as I ever did in my life. 1 have

think your Sarsaparilla the greatest
blood medicine in the world.

THE HEW PATENT
DUST-PROOF
sTiwiNDimmm,
MANUFACTURED BY THE
American Watch Cos.,
WALTHAM, MASS.
This case is formed in one solid piece with
out joint or seam, opening in front only,
thus avoiding the usual Cap, and securing
greater strength and durability.
These watches are all open face. The
bezel, into which an extra strong crystal is
fitted witli an especially prepared water
proof cement, is attached to the case by
screwing it thereon, and thus forms an air
tight junction with the body of the ease,
which is proof against dust and moisture.
To railroad men, travelers, miners, lum
bermen and others who are almost constant
ly exposed and who have to make frequent
reference to the watch, these qualities are
of the utmost importance.
The Following Letters tell their
own Story.
“Valdosta, Georgia, July 20,1882.
“Isold one of your Patent Dust-Proof
Cases about ten months ago, and the other
day It came back to me with the request to
make it wind easier. On examination I
found that the stem was rusty, and I inquir
ed into the cause of it. The gentlemen
stated to me that he was starting some saw
logs that had lodged in the bend of the river,
when his chain caught in a bush and threw
his watch into about twelve feet of water,
and lie was about two hours finding it.
When he got it out it was running and he
thought all right. In about three months
lie found that the stem was hard to turn
and sent it to me.
I can say that the watch is all that the
company claims for it and recommend it to
all railroad and mill men.
B. W. BENTLY"
“Clinton, lowa, April 29,1881.
“I wish you would send me a spring for
the Wm. Ellery Watch. * * * By the way
this is a watch I sold in your Screw Bezel
Case to a farmer last fall. The first of Jan
uary he lost the watch in the woods, and
found it this week in about one foot of
water. It had lain three months and over
in snow and water, with but slight injury
to the watch—only a hair spring.
"C. S. RAYMOND.’’
The above were very severe tests, and de
monstrate beyond a doubt, that for any rea
sonable length of time during which a watch
might bo under water it would receive no
injury whatever.
We make these cases in both gold and sil
ver, and as a Perfectly Dust-Proof sum
Winding; Watch Case, Challenge the
World to Produce its Equal.
