1 liike an Evil Spirit.
In olden times it was thought that evil spirits came m tnrouglPcraCKS
and keyholes. The generally approved way to keep them outVasYonplug
up the keyholes and stop the cracks with cotton. Notwithstandingjthese
preventive measures, the evil things had their own way and often'
as they pleased.
So comes malaria now-a-uays. We try to keep it out of the keyhole
and it comes in by the crack. We stop up the crack, and lo! it comes from
aleak in the plumbing, or an opening from some neglected drain, or from
some unsuspected source and unguarded direction
We cannot always keep malaria out, but we can give it battle and
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
cine. Your druggist sells it, and you ought to keep a bottle in the house.

Pollock, in his beautiful poem enti
tled “The Course of Time,” has de
picted this foul pest of society as fol
lows:
“ ’Twas slander filled her mouth with lying
words;
Slauder the foulest whelp of sin. The man
In whom this spirit entered was undone.
His tongue was set on lire of hell: his heart
Was black as death; Ills legs were faint witli
iiaste
To propagate t!:- lie his soul had framed;
His pillow was the peace of families
Destroyed, the sight of innocence re
proached,
Broken friendships, and the strife of broth
erhoods
Vet did he spare his sleep, and hear the
clock
Number the midnight watches, on his bed
Devising mischief more; and early rose
And mado most hellish meals of good men’s
names."
AN INDIAN SCARE.
The Lake Street House, Chicago,
one of the earliest hotels of Chicago,
of which tiie bibulous Mark Beaubien
was mine host, stood near the river,
on Lake streot, and was perhaps the
most popular hostelry of its time in
tiie city. It is not generally known
that this house is still in existence,
but such in reality is the case. It wi
removed one block northwest < . its
original site, where, in a much imp ov
ed and remodeled state, it now stands,
bearing no suggestion of antiquity in
its outward appearance. Many inci
dents are related of this hotel, and of
the scenes and incidents which occur
red there. Some of these are well
worth repeating, but limited space for
bids the mention of more than one
gnest who stopped at the house and
were given the host chamber sometimes
had a strange and startling experience.
A man would go to bed and sleep
soundly until just before dawn when
ho would be awakened by a cry of “In
dians, Indians.” At the same time
someone would rush into the room,
snatch the bed-clothing from the bed, j
and dart out again before the astonish
ed guest could get his eyes fairly
opened. With visions of infuriated
savages, glancing tomahawks and (low
ing blood, the terrified man would
jump put of bed, hurry himself into
his garments and bolt out of the room
confident, that a terrible Indian mas
sacre was in progress. But imagine
bis overwhelming amazement and con
fusion when, on rushing into the cui
sine of the hotel, where breakfast was
in course of preparation, he would be
coolly informed that lie was alarming
himself without cause—that there
were no signs of an Indiau outbreak
or any disturbance of the peace what
ever. To make the mystery more
dense, nobody could tell him who the
person was that had awakened him in
such an outrageous manner. lie would
question every one in the hotel,hut each
and all of them would wear a look of
hopelessness bewilderment, and either
pronounce the whole affair a perplex
ing puzzle, or insinuate that he had
been dreaming.
This same thing occurred at differ
ent times, and with different guests,
always with the same, result. The
victims generally arrived at the con
clusion that it was a practical joke,
perpetrated by somebody in the hotel
for his own individual amusement.
One night a man stopped at the
house who had heard about this trick,
and was prepared to baffle the joker if
any attempt should be made to deprive
him of his morning nap. Sure enough,
shortly before daylight, he was arous
ed by a terrible commotion. His door
was thrown open and somebody plun
ged iuto the room, shouting in thrilling
tones: “Indians, Indians; quick, for
your lives! The Indians are upon us!”
The bedclothes were whisked oft' the
bed, and the mysterious intruder van
ished. The inau coolly rose, picked up
the bedclothes from the floor, put them
back in their place, crawled into bed
again, and was soon enjoying a com
fortable nap. Some time later a hand
shook him gently. He looked up into
the anxious face of the landlord. “Say,
mister, it’s 0 o’clock; you’ll have to
get up.”

“Why, what’s the matter?”
“Well, breakfast ought to have been
ready an hour ago, and we can’t finish
it till you get up.”
“Do you take me for the cook?”
“No, but I want that sheet you’re
lying on. It’s the only one in the
house that can be used for a tablecloth,
and we want to set the table.”
That was the explanation. The In
dian scare was a ruse to get the sheet
for the breakfast talJe.”

TRUTH.
The following beautiful illustration
of the power of truth, is from the pen
of S. H. Hammond, formerly editor of
the Albany State Register. He was
an eye witness of the scene in one of
the higher courts of New York.
A girl uine years of age, was offered
as a witness against a prisoner who
was on trial for felony committed in
her father’s house.
Now, Emily 1 , said the counsel for the
prisoner, who was offered as a witness,
“I desire to know if you understand
the nature of an oath?”
“I don’t know what you mean,” was
the simple answer.
“There your honor, said the counsel
addressing the court, “is anything fur
ther necessary to demonstrate the val
idity of my objection? This witness
should be rejected. She does not com
prehend the nature of an oath?”
I “Let’s see,” said the Judge. “Come
, here my daughter?”
; Assured by the kind tone and man
j tier of the Judge, the child stepped to
-1 ward him, and looked confidently up
in his face, with a calm clear eye, and
in a manner so artless and frank, that
it went straight to the heart.
I “Did you ever take an oath?” in-
I quired the judge. The little girl step
' ped back with a look of horror and the
red blood mantled in a blush all over
her face as she answered:
■ “No sir.”
She thought that he intended to in
quire if she ever blasphemed.
! “I do not mean that,” said thejudgo
! who saw her mistake; “I mean were you
ever a witness before?”
“No, I was never in court before,”
was the answer.
Ho handed her the Bible, open and
asked:
“Do you know that book my daugh
ter?”
She looked at it and answered, “yes
sir, it is the Bible.”
“Do you ever read it?” lie asked.
“Yes sir, every evening.”
“Can you tell me what the Bible is?”
inquired the judge.
“It is the word of the great God,”
she answered.
“Well, place your hand upon this
Bible and listen to what I say, and he
repeated slowly and solemnly the oath
usually.administered to witnesses.
“Now, said the judge, you have
sworn as a witness; will you tell me
what will befall you if you do not tell
the truth?”
“I shall be shut up in the State
prison?” answered the child.
“Anything else?” asked the judge.
“I shall never go to heaven,” she
replied.
“How do you know this?” asked the
Judge again.
The child took the bible, and, turn
ing rapidly to the chapter containing
the commandments, pointed to the in
junction, “Tlion ahalt not hear false
witness agaiut thy neighbor.” I learn
ed that before I could read.”
“Has any one talked to you about
being a witness in court here against
this man?” inquired the Judge.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, “My mother
heard they wanted me to be a witness,
and last night she called me to her
room and asked me to tell her the ten
commandments, and when we kneeled
down together, and she prayed that I
might understand how wicked it was
to bear false witness against thy neigh
bor, and that God would help me, a
little child to tell the truth as it was
before him. And when I came up here
with father, she kissed me, and told
me to remember the ninth command
ment, and that God would hear every
word that I said.
Do you believe this?” asked the
Judge, while a tear glistened in his
eye, and his lips quivered with emo
tion.
“Yes, sir,” said the child, with a
voice and a manner that showed her
conviction of its truth was perfect.
“God bless you my child,” said the
Judge; “you have a good mother. The
witness is competent he chntinued.
“Were 1 on trial for my life and in
nocent of the charge against me I would
pray God for such a witness as this.
Let her he examined.”
She told her story with the simplic
ity of a child, as she was, but there
was a directness about it that carried
conviction of its truth to every heart.
The counsel plied her with indefinite
and ingenious questioning, but she
varied from her first statement in noth
ing. The truth as spoken by a little
child was sublime. Falsehood and per
jury had proceeded. The prisoner had
entrenched himself in lies. Witnesses
had falsified facts in his favor and
villiany had manufactured for him a
sham defence. But before her testi
mony it was fcattered like chafif. The
little child of whom the mother had
prayed for strength to be given to
sperk the truth as it was before God,
broke the cunning devices of matured
villiany like a potter’s vessel. The
strength that her mother prayed for
was given in sublime and terrible sim
plicity—terrible, I mean to the prison
er and his associates—with which she
spoke like a revelation from God him
self.

After all, the coachman and the ac
tor have something in common—they
are both pretty apt to succeed if ihey
handle their lines well.
“A fellow must sow his wild oats
you know,” exclaimed John. “Yes,
replied Annie, but one shouldn’t begin
sowing so soon after cradling.”
“Are you dead, Tim?” said an Irish
father to his son, who bad fallen down
a well. “Not dead, father, but spache
less,” came up from the depth of the
well.
“Woman,” says Mr. Eastman, “is
a problem.” So she is, and though a
problem we can never hope to solve, it
is one we shall never, never be willing
to give up.
In the temple of fame, it is said,
there is a niche for every honest man;
but the truth compvels us to add that
in that same temple there are a great

A little girl nine years old, having
attended a soiree, being asked by her
mother on returning home, how she en
joyed herself, answered, “lam full of

An old German buried his wife, and
was telling a sympathizing neighbor
of her death. Ilis friends enquired if
the lamented “was resigned to her
fate.” “Resigned!” exclaimed the hon

Ignorance is sometimes very delight
ful. “Wore you hurt near any one of
the vertebrae?” asked a lawyer of a
witness who wanted damages. “No,”
was the answer, “I was hurt right
on the race course, close to the Judges’
stand.”
“Man and wife are one, are they,”
said she. Yes; what of it?” said he,
suspiciously. “Why, in that case,”
said she, “I came home awfully tipsy
last night and feel terribly ashamed
of myself this morning.” lie never
said a word.

A railway engineer saying that the
usual life of a locomotive was only
thirty years, a passenger remarked that
such a tough looking thing ought to

A Sunday School teacher once ask

“Mamma said papa wouldn’t be home

It is Raid that a waxwork figure of
Franklin, on exhibition in France, is
labelled: “Franklin, inventor of elec

having made seven voyages around the
world, died on the Sandwich Islands,
and was devoured by savages, of whom
not a single fragment was ever discov

A girl at a boarding-school wrote to
her father, who was an eminent lawyer,
asking if she “hadn’t a right to object
to a great horrid dog’s always taking
the whole of the sidewalk.” The old
lawyer wrote back. “You arc right in
objecting to the principle that the dog
is entitled to the whole sidewalk, but
practically , if he wants it you had bet
ter let him have it.”
A charming instance of ladies’ boar
ding school superficial education occur
ed recently. A gentleman introducing
a friond, born in Athens, to a lady,
mentioned the stranger’s nationality.
After a time the lady, who had natu
rally heard a good deal of tho Greeks
of late, inquired; “Are you really a
Greek?” “Certainly 1 am,” he re
plied. “Ah yes, but are you a modern
Greek?” she asked.
When Fenelon was almoner to Louis
XIV., his majesty was astonished to

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

THE NEW PATENT
DUST-PROOF
STEM WISHING OPI FACE CASE,
iIANTJFACTUKED BY THE
American Watch Cos.,
WAL7HA&I, MASS.
This case is formed in one solid piece with
out jointer 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 with 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 case,
which is proof against dust and moisture.
To railroad mon, 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 tlicir
own Story.
“Valdosta, Georgia, July 20,1882.
“1 sold one of your Patent Dust-Proof
Oases about toil 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 lie was starting some saw
logs that had lodged in tlio bend of the river,
when ids chain caught in a bush and threw
his watcli into about twelve feet of water,
and lie was about two hours finding it.
When lie 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 watcli 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 wisli you would send me a spring for
the Win. Ellery 'Watch. * * * By the way
tliia is a watch I sold in your Screw Bezel
Case to a farmer last fall. The first of Jan
uary lie 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 he under water it would receive no
injury whatever.
