One Tlioiifctiud Acres of Lsr.ilCloiid*
“Kijrht Smart.of Benrsjj.g,^
On the deck of a big Mississippi steamboat stoc-d an
aged Southern planter. Indicating by the sweep of
his arm the waters the boat was passing over, he said
to a passenger from the North: “When I was twelve
years old I killed my first boar on a new plantation my
father was then cutting out of a forest that grew di
rectly over the waters of this bend. That was a mighty
good plantation, and there was right smart of bears
there, too. But that one thousand acres of land went
into the Mississippi years ago,”
It is putting no strain upon the figure to say that
great forests of youthful hope, womanly beauty and
manly strength are swept iu the same way every y«*ar
into the great, turbid torrent of disease and'de&tli. Yet
it should not be so. That it is eo is a disgrace as well
as a loss. People are largely too careless or 100 stupid
to defend their interests—the most precious of which
is health. That gone, all is gone. Diseas; in simple,
but to recklessness or ignorance the simplest things
might as w ell be complex as a proposition iu Conic
Sections. As the huge rivers which so ofteu flood the
cities along their shores, urine in a few mountain
springs, no all our ailments can be traced to impure
blood and a small group of disordered organs.
The most effective aud inclusive remedy for disease
Is Touic. It goes to the sources of
pain and weakness. In response to its action, the liv
er, kidneys, stomach and heart begin their work afresh,
and disease is driven out. The Tonic is not, however,
an intoxicant, but cure* a desire for strong drink.

A New Year’s Call.
BY HELEN WHITNEY CLARK.
“Wal, good-by, now, EJwioy! Try and
Dot git lonesom?, »n’ mebbe mo or Uncle
Pete will give ye a call ’lore loos; —aotn’ers
abont Christmas or New Years.”
L Good-natu r ed Abner Ovcrcop wits es

the station, where she »«s to take the
jdron Mountain accommodation train for
pSt. Louis.
do, Abner !” cried Edwtna, bright
|gi, as her cousin lifted her out ct the wag
on, and tied Bally and Dobbin, the two
sleek chestnuts, to the hitching post under
a, big elui tree. “Do couie New Year’s
Day if you can, Cousin Abner. I've
beard Eva and Krtutngarde tell what a
nice time they have then receiving calls.
They have a table of refreshments, with
| ham and chicken-salad, and coffee, and all
j sorts of confectionery, iced pound cake,
| you know, and chocolate cream, and—oh,
I everything uiie! Come then, won't you,
Cousin Abner?’’
Cousin Abner smiled indulgently, show
iug a row of Dot very ornamental teeth, a
wide expanse of mouth, aDd a butter hued
moustache.
“I’ll try, Ed winy,” be promised, oblig
ingiy. “II Uncle I’cte don’t git his head
sot on coming hisself. If he does, of
course I kain’t, you know.”
And after helping bis cousin find a seat
in the car, and depositing her satche l , j
basket, etc., at her side, Mr. Abner Ov
ereup wended bis way to the village store
to get a supply of coffee and sugar in ex
change lor the box of fresh laid eggs he
had brought down.
Edwiria, meanwhile, sped rapidly along
on her wav to St Louis, whither she was
going on a visit to her Cousins Eva and
Ermengarde. who finding it convenient to
spend their summers at the old Aiden
farm-house, had invited her, with a show
ed cordiality, tc pass the winter with them
in the city.
“Os course slit’ll Devcr come, though,”
they assured themselves, cheerfully.
And now here she was, aud what to do
with her was For Kdwina
was quite her vein :v rt-s
snd 11 .pi-xiori to he
duei-d iff their St-'.
'1 he M would
cheerfully k her under a hush'-l
is they could.
“I lid a frieofi of yours in the ear,”
announced Edwina, dimpling and blushing
iu a very aggravating manner. “That. Mr.
Jennyn who came to visit you once at our
house, last summer ”
“Royal Jermyn ! How onfortunate!”
The sisters exchanged glances of dia
may.
“What did ho have to say, dear?” ask
ed Eva, sweetly.
“Oh, nothing much ! He showed me
my way hete, and carried my satchel for
me. And lie—he said he would call to
night.”
And Edwina blushed pinkrr than ever
as she thought of the look which hud ae
companicd the words.
Royal Jermyn did come that eight and
admired the little Uebe, as he called her,
more than ever.
But alter that, although he called quite
frequently, he never had (lie luck to find
Edwina iu.
The sisters were so sorry ! hut really
their cousin was a sad little gadabout, and
of course they did not pretend to control
her actions.
And thereupon they redoubled their
own fascinations to rjake the visitor for
get, if possible, all thoughts of tile little i
rustic, as they dubbed her between them- j
selves. . I
| For Royal Jermyn was an “eligible of
iho eligibles,” and the Missqs Eva and
Ermengarde Aiden had resolved that he
should succumb to one or the other of them
before the winter’s campaign was over.
* * 4* ■% * * *
New Year’s Day, and the streets and
pavements wero covered with a carpet of
suowy white, its fleecy pile softer tlibn the -
choicest velvet ol Turkey’s looms.
Eva Ertuehgarde were resplendent in
cashmere dresses, their pale tresses care
fully banged and frizzed, and their fare*
i J
| pnarl powdered and vinegar rouged, till
their natural complexions would never
havo recognized themselves in, the gas
lighted mirrors from which they were re
flected.
Tho refreshment tables looked very
tempting with their array of crystal and
silver, fruit and confectionery, while an
appetizing odor of French coffee and chick
en salad diffused itself through the room.
“I do hope Edwina woo’t venture to,
show herself,” remarked Eva, anxiously,
as she shook out hdr train and took a last
glance at herself iu the dressing room
mirror.
“No dangor,” laughed Ermengarde. “I
settled that mutter. Our little rustic is
sitting io stute in the sewing room, waitiug
lor a summons to make her debut in the par
lor. She’ll wait a long time, though, be
fore any visitor calls lor her!”
“But that guw ky, overgrown Abner, you
know,” persisted Eva. “Edwina expects
him to call to dav.” I
Aimer, indeed! I’ll soon settle that. I
cuiue near forgetting it, though.”
And calling Susan, the girl who attend
ed the door bell, Ermengarde showed her
a photograph recently purloined, lor the
purpose, from Edwina’s little velvet-bound
alhu n>.
Susan, would yon know that man if he
should call to day?”
Susan took a good look at the photo
graph.
“Sure au’ l would mem!” she responded.
“I’d know the big yaller mustash an’wide
open hluek eyes in the ould couutry, mem!”
“Very well, Susan. Now if he calls to
day, I waut you to show him into the little
sewing room where uiy cousin is sittiug.
She will receive him. And, Susan, don’t,
on any account, bring him to u.-!’’
“Very well, mem ”
Aud Susan retiicd, to answer the first
peal of the door bell.
All day the cullers come and went, while
poor Kdwina, iu her pouch colored merino,
sat alone iu tile little sewing room, waiting
vainly for a summons to the parlor.
Sesuu had brought he refreshments at
luncheon time; hut refreshments was not
what she wanted.
At last, just when the gas in the street
lamps was being lighted, a gentleman
culled who attracted Susan’s special alien
“Sureit’s himself,” she muttered, taking
a furtive look at the photograph, which
Ermengarde hud given her for the purpose.
“It’s the giutlemau >id the tig yaller mus
tash and Side open, black eyes."
And, without more ado, Susan conveyed
the caller to the little sewing room, where
Elwiua sat alone and disconsolate.
“It may he etiquette,” she was saying to
herself. “But it ain’t a bit nice, and I
know I wouldn’t leave my cousins alone all
day, etiquette or no etiquette. I —”
“A ginihman toseeyiz, Mive Edwina!”
announced Susan
And, with dancing eyes aud dimpling
cheeks, Edwina received her visitor.
“I've cony; to say good-by, Eva and
Ermengarde,” announced Edwina, the
next morning, as her cousins lounged ov
er their lute breakfast, looking fatigued
and worn alter their yesterday’s exertions.
“I’m going home.”
“Dear on ! why must you go in such a
hurry!” asked Eva, sipping her chocolate,
aud inwardly rejoicing at her cousin’s de
termination.
| “I l’m going to be married io tho
-pririg,” explained Edwina, blushing like
a peony, “und I must gel my sewiDg done,
| you know.”
“Married? So cousin Abner proposed
yesterday, tey?” cried both sisters in a
breath.
Edwina looked surprised.
“Abner —yesterday?” ,-hc repeated. “I
haven’t seeo cousin Abner since the day I
left home. And besides, he is already en
gaged to Patty Haws.”
The sisters looked mystified.
“Abner not here? Who—who was your
caller, then?” cried Ermengarde, exchang
ing looks of dismay «iih her sister,
Edwiua smiled demurely. She guessed
something of the mistake now.
“It was Mr. Jermyn,” she answered.
I “Aud he is waitiug id the parlor now to,
1 take me to tlie depot. We are going to be J
married in May, andyou must both coote to 1
‘ tl.v wedding ”
NO. 31.
And kissing her cousins good-by, she
tripped away to join the tall lover who was
impatiently awaiting her reappearance.
Susan was soundly berated for her sto
pid mistake, but the mischief was already
done, and no amonnt of berating wonld an
do it.
Losing and Forgetting.
A successful business man said there were
,two things he learned when he was eigh
teen, which were ever afterward of great
use to him, namely: “Never to lose any
thing, never to forget anything.” An old
lawyer sent him with an important paper,
with certain instructions what to do with
it.
“Hut,,’ inquired the young man, “Sup*
pose I lose it, what shall I do then?”
“You must not lose it.”
“I don’t mean to,” said the young man,
“but suppose I should happen to?"
“Hut I say you must not happen to; I
shall make no provisions for such an oc
currence: you must not lose it!”
This put a new train of thought in the
young man’s mind, aud ho found that if
he was determined to do anything, he
could do it. He made 6nch a provision
against every contingency that he never
lost anything. lie found this equally
true about forgetting. If a certain mat
ter of importance was to be remembered,
he pinned it down in his mind, fastened
it there, and made it stay. He used to
sav: “When a man tells me lie forgot to
do some thing, I tell hitn lie might as well
say, *1 do not think enough of niy business
to take the troub'e to think of it again.’ ”
I once hud a young man in my employ,
said another gentleman, who deemed it
sufficient excuse for neglecting any impor*
taut task to say, “I forgot.” 1 told him
thut would not answer. If he was suffi
ciently interested ho would be careful to
remember. 1 1 was because he did not care
enough that he forgot. I drilled him with
this truth. He worked for mo three years,
and during the last of the three years he
was utterly changed in thut respect.

Swindler’s Arrested.
New Yobk, Dec 31. —Threo meo,
who gave their names as John Hill. John
C. King and Charles Lewis, were arrested
to day by Central office detectives, on the
complaint of Arthur K. Abratr.soo, whom
they swindled out of one hundred dollara
by pretending to engage hitn as special
agent in Philadelphia to sell Japanese
goods. Abramson answered an advertise
whieli appeared on Christmas day and waa
required to deposit that amount with the
company as a guarantee. In the posses
sion of the prisoners, who proved to be well
known to the police, was a valise contain
ing a lot of Cotfederate bank notes, two
bogus one thousand dollar bonds of the
Wayne County Coal and Pailway Compa
ny and counterfeit bonds of the Hainbridge
Cuthbert and Columbus railroad of Geor
gia-
This life is too lull of work, of duty,
and of pleasure to be wasted. Hut ev
ery body don't think so, or they would not
trifle with a cold, or a cough, when Dr.
Hull’s Cough Syrup, the only reliable
remedy, can be procured for 25 ceDts.
The Selma Mail says the number of
persons who emigrate to Texas and other
pot (ions of the West from Alabama aud
adjoining S'ates, and are now returning
home, is astonishing. Oo ono of the South
bouud trains arriving at Montgomery a
few nights ago were eighty paasengers,
and on another succeeding were sixty pas
sengers returning from Texas. They had
failed to realize their visioos of plenty.
The Wilmington Star also mentions the
return of many North CaroliniaDS who had
tried “pastures new” in the Southwest
without realizing expectations- The uni
versal report is that with similar effort
the old States will yeild as good a living
as those west of the Mississippi.
Some say “Consumption can’t be cuted ”
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, as proved by for.
ty yeurs experience, will cure ibis disease
wheo not already advanced • beyond the
reuch of medical aid. Even then its use
affords very great relief, and insures re
freshing sleep.
The most delicate, the mobt sensible of
all pleasures consists in promoting the
pleasure of others
