Swept into the StresS*’ „ 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.

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 , dortiug his pretty cousin, Kdwina Aiden, 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
