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 Imposes, bv the fact that Aunt Mary s eyes would be upon him at the return of . ohn Thomas After oer sug- gestion and h;s acknowledgment of its value - Jt won d hardly do for him to let passum so rule him, as to act in open violation of what was nght-to wrong his son by harsh treatment, when he professed The fact to is. desire Mr. Belknap only his «pod. had already made the discouerv that, if he would govern his boy, he must first govern him- self.

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.

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 that bv some participating to impend in the over trial the of personages the Presi¬ 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. W. Kittridge, counsel for the bank re¬ ceivers, died during the trial, and the wife of Judge Sage, who presided, v, as taken so seriously ill during tho pro¬ ceedings that the trial had to be post¬ poned figured ten days.
