The boy turned off without a word of

For all this impatience and authority
on the part of Mr. Belknap, John
Thomas moved away at a snail’s pace;
1 an(1 as the former, in a state of consider-
able irritability, gazed after the boy, he
felt stron Siy tempted to call him back,

The blood mounted to the cheeks and
brow of Mr. Belknap.
“Forgive me if I have spoken too
plainly,” Belknap said Aunt Mary.
i Mr. did not make any re-
sponse for some time, but sat with his
eyes upon the floor in hurried self-ex-
ainination.
“No, Aunt Mary, not too plainly”
said he, as he looked at her with a so-
bered face. “I needed that suggestion
and thank for having made *
you it. ”
“Mrs. Howitt has a line which beau-
tifully expresses what I mean,” said
Aunt Mary, in her gentle, earnest way.
“Itis-
j *° r love hath readier .. will than fear.’
An, if we could all comprehend the
wronderful power of love! Itis the fire
that melts; while fear .only smites, the
strokes sightly hardening, or breaking its un-

goodly as as flowers e e as as possible possible. These, _______ like
tilled garden, will growing in a carefully-
absorb the latent vi-
tality in his mind, and thus leave noth-
ing from which inherent evil tendencies
can draw nutrition.”
Aunt Mary said no more, and Air. Bel-
knaps thoujrhts were soon too busy with
a train of ideas, to leave him in any
^ or con versation.
j lime moved steadily on. Nearly half
aQ h° ur had elapsed, in which period
John Thomas might have gone twice to
Leslie’s store, and returned; yet he was
st. 11 absent. Mr. Belknap was
inrl y in want of a hammer and nails, and
; the delay chafed him considerably; the
more particularly as it evidenced the
difference of his son to his wishes and
commands. Sometimes he would yield
to 8 ra omeutary blinding flash of anger,
and resolv e to punish the boy severely
the moment he could get his hands on
him. But quickly would come in Aunt
Mary’s suggestion, and he would again
resolve to try the power of kind words,
He was also a great deal strengthened in

made the discouerv that, if he would
govern his boy, he must first govern him-

he felt that it must be done.
“There that . , boy said he,

as he glanced coming homeward forth, and saw John
Thomas at a very de-
liberate pace. There was more of im-
patience in his tene of voice than he
wished to betray to Aunt Mary, who let
her beautiful, angel-like eyes rest for a
moment or two, penetratingiy, that upon him.
The balancing and power of look was
needed; it performed its work.

Succored by Australian Cannibals.
The first expedition that crossed the
Australian continent was under the
leadership of my old friend Burke, says
a correspondent of the Commercial Ad¬
vertiser, with whom the name of Wills,
connected. his second in It command, went out under is inseparably the
Royal Society Victoria, guid¬
ance Of the of
and at the cost of the Victorian govern¬
ment. Burke formed his last depot at
Cooper’s Creek and left it in charge of
his third officer, a German. He and
Wills, with two others, Reid and King,
then started for the coast of Carpentaria.
They met with no approached trouble from the na¬
tives until they their desti¬
nation, where the northern tribes be¬
came dangerous. But they gained their
object and returned. Reid died on the
way. The horses were killed and eaten,
and when the three men reached Coop¬
er’s Creek they found that the German
had desorted his post. They were too
weak weeks to go provisions further. They that had lived for two
on been left
under a tree, and then lay down to die.
At this juncture a tribe of natives came
along. They had never seen a . white
man before, but recogv izing the needs
of Burke and his companions they pro¬
vided them with food, fish that they
caught near by, seeds, roots and herbs,
upon which alone their own subsistence
depended. They staid with Burke as
long as the supply lasted, and left only
when their own safety rendered it nec¬
essary. We may call such people sav¬
ages if we will, but if as much nobility
of character were displayed in every-day

CUPID’S HARNESS.
Most women naturally look fortvard to matrimony as their proper
sphere in life, but they should constantly bear in mind that a fair, rosy
face, bright eyes, and a healthy, well-developed form, are the best pass¬
ports to a happy marriage. All those wasting disorders, weaknesses, and
functional irregularities peculiar to their sex, destroy beauty and attract¬
iveness and make life miserable. An unfailing specific for these mal¬
adies is to be found in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It is the
only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee
from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or
money will be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the
bottle-wrappers, and faithfully carried out for many years. $1.00 per
Bottle, or Six Bottles for $5.00.

Fatality of the Fidelity Bank Fail¬
ure.
It would seem as though a kind of
ted grim in fate hung over everybody connec¬ Fi¬
any way with the unfortunate
delity bank of Cincinnati, either with
its failure a couple of years ago or the
subsequent proceeding s affecting it. It
was “Guiteau’s something curse,” like what is lias supposed been called

dent’s assassin, though in the case of
the Fidelity bank no one appears to
have strewn any curses around promis¬
cuously. In the first place, Benjamin
E. Hopkins, the president of the bank,
who was sentenced to seven years im¬
prisonment died days and recently pardoned, E.
a few’ after his release. L.
Harper, the vice-president, was given a
ten /fmzi years’ Baldwin, sentence and went insane, mi
the cashier, con Fed
suicide during the trial, Edward Hicks,
a clerk in the bank, died shortly after
the trial. C. A. Hineh, another clerk,
broke his leg during the trial. James
Siefert, the bank janitor, who carried
the books of the institution to and from
the court house each day during the
trial, ran directly in front of a moving
locomotive one day and was badly hurt.
Joseph Harrison, the office boy of the
bank, wars accidentally shot in the eye
during the trial. The mother of J. K.
Yowell, a clerk, died during the trial.
0. R. Eves the secret service officer who
did considerable work in the conviction
of the bank officers, has died since the
trial. Edwin Watson, a lawyer sent out
by the Attorney-General to take part in
the proceedings, dropped dead in his
hotel in Cincinnati during the trial.
The father of United States District
Attorney Burnett died the night after
the trial, as did also the wife of F. N.
Hays, the bank expert. The wife of E.

ceivers, died during the trial, and the
wife of Judge Sage, who presided, v, as
