GRANDMA’S CORNER.
We ll make “a corner,” but not in wheat—
A corner lor grandma, a cozy seat,
A way from ail doors and the winds that blow.
Giving dear grandma the headache so.
We will have it warm, we will have it bright—
Eyes dim with years need uuclomlcd light;
Of access easy to all, but where.
The household rush shall not jar her chair.
You shall sit, and out of the window gaze.
Or on us as we work by the hearth-fire’s
blaze;
You shall work or be idle, do just as you
wlll-
Hold baby, or not, whet) he's gentle and still.
The place in this house that is suuggest and
best
Is the place we have choaeu for dear grand
ntr’s rest.
Where had we been. I would like to know,
If grandmother had not so long ago—
When grandpa was fur on the stormy main—
Feeble aud lonely anioften in pain.
So faithfully tended our mother dear
Through years of hardship and l.ttle cheer?
You dear old diamond! We understand
The knots and kinks in this l.ttic hand;
Indoors and outdoors and early and late.
You tolled for the sake of your toiling mate—
For the sake ot the children you loved so
well—
And now, like a Queen, you shall with them
dwell.
We all are your subjects, witn reverent love,
Delighted to serve you our homage to prove;
Your corner the throne-room, y cur chair is
the throne,
Your court is a gay one, your children your
own.
And your children's children, who round
your chair
All bless you, and honor your silver hair.

THE MYSTERY OF PRESTON FLAT.
BY JOHN R. MUSICK.
(COI’YniGUT, 1886, BV THE A. N. KELLOGG
Newspaper Company.]
CHAPTER IV.— Continued.
“Why did you stop me here to men
tion so disagreeable a subject?”
“To tell ye that I know ye, an’ to
tell ye I was yer friend, ye bet. I'll
never go back on ye for any thing in
the past, ole boy, but stick to ye like a
leech.”
Bill paused and smiled, and winked
in a manner that puzzled Walter.
“How long have you been working
for Mr. Jack Hawkins?” asked Walter.
“About three years? Do ye know
Jack?”
“No, sir.”
“Well, sir, ye ought to. Jack is a
jolly fellow; game, too. He never de
serts a friend and is ns brave as a lion.”
“I have only heard him snoken of
incidentally,” said Walter, still puzzled
at the manner of Bill Martin.
“Does old Miles gjve any holidays?”
“He has not yet. I have only been
working for him two weeks.”
“Not a Saturday afternoon?”
“No, sir.”
“Then he’s an old tyrant Now,
3*oung chap,” said Bill, more mysteri
ous than ever, “I have got moro
friends here. I want 3 011 to form theii
acquaintance. They are all joliy good
fellows, know how to keep their own
secrets, arc brave and stick together
We are a kind o’ brotherhood, ye
know. I want you to see us and lie
one o’ us. Will ye come an’ see ns
when ye kin?”
Walter, though completely thunder
struck, assented, and then drove on,
while Bill, with a series of grins anti
winks, retired into the woods. Little
did Walter Brownfield dream of the ter
rible character of the brotherhood al
luded to by Bill Martin, or the trial it
would cause hint.
CHAPTER V.
JOHN MILES’ DIFFICULTIES.
Walter Brownfield was soon on inti
mate terms with the family of Mr.
Miles. Ilis urbane air and good sense
were features especially attractive.
Mr. Miles had many intricate business
affairs that he was in the habit of going
to Bushville and paying a lawyer to at
tend to, which his hired hand could
accomplish equally as well.
“You seem pretty good in figgers,”
said the farmer one day, “to save me I
can’t figger up the interest.”
“That’s an easy matter,” said Wal
ter, with a smile, as he took up one of
the notes and glanced over it. Com
puting interest had been his trade for
so long that a note in partial payments
seemed like an old friend.
“I- inkey counted itnp, but lam afraid
she was not right,” said the farmer.
Mr. Miles, like all successful business
men, was particular to have all the in
terest his note called for.
Walter spread the note out before
him on a table, took a pencil and pa
per, and in a few moments had the cor
rect answer.
“That is just what Pinkey made it,”
said the farmer.
“.'ho was correct, then,” said the
youth, and he proceeded to explain
every thing in connection with compu
tation of interest and deduction of par
tial payments.
“Try the others,” said the farmer,
“an’ i'll call Pinkey in to see if that is
the way she does it."
Pinkey, with her beautiful form and
face, high forehead and large dark eyes,
entered at her father's call. Her ap
pearance made Walter a little nervous,
and he was far more liable to make
mistakes than if she had not been pres
ent
He explained his method to her, and
at the conclusion he informed the
farmer that his daughter knew as
much about it as himself. Pinkey
smiled a sweet, gracious smile, and
Mr. Miles said she was the only ohj of
his children "wlio’d take to book
lamin’.”
“I think, sir, you can always safely
rely on her calculations,” said Walter,
as the girl retired to her room.
It was not only in affairs of interest,
but in all business matters, that the
farmer found his hired hand proficient.
In commercial law, of trade, rules of
finance, the important political ques
tions of the day, Walter to the Miles
family seemed thorough.
“If I only kno wed what you know,”
said John Miles one day, with a sigh,
“It ’ud relieve me of a deal of trouble.”
“I should like to help you all I can;
what is the trouble with you?” asked
Waiter.
The speakers were alona in the hay
loft reclining on the fresh mown hay.
The manger had been filled with hay
and the horses below were crunching
their oats and corn with an occasional
wisp of hay to give variety to the
meal. . „
At Walter’s question John rolled his
form over until he lay upon his
back.
“I don't know if yc could help me
or not if ve’d try,” he said.
“ I might, but 1 assure you it will be
a miracle for me to help you unless 1
know wherein you require aid.”
“ I want to learn to talk,” said John.
“ You can talk.”
“Yes, 1 know I can talk. So can a
goose swim an’ fly, but not like a bird
or fish. I’m awkward an’ I know that
I don’t tell thiugs right,” said John,
with a blush on his face.
“ Your language could be improved
gome.” said Walter, with a smile.
“Wall, that is just what I want to
learn. How is people to improve their
language when a feller’s got no teach
er?” said John.
“ You could teach yourself, or I could
Instruct you; but, John, why have you
so recently found yourself defective in
the art of speech, and why this sudden
notion to improve?”
John rubbed the perspiration from
his brow and said: “Cause 1 want to
be as 1 kin talk to anybody, it makes
no difference who it is a—a man, or a
gal. Them Bushvillc fellers kin talk
their grammar and g : t away with a
feller.
“I rather suspect that there is some
young lady with whom you wish to
converse,” said U alter, smiling. *
John brushed his florid face with the
sleeve of his shirt, and, after a momen
tary pause, said: “May be it's so, and
may be it aint.”
“Admit the truth of it, John,” said
Walter. “Is there not some young lady
iu Bushvillc for whose sake you want
to polish up your language?”
John turned his face to the wall and
said, in an awkward way: “Well,
then, what cf there was, an’ what ef she
lived in Bushville an’ her name was
Susie Black, could vou help a feller
any?”
“I might,” said Waiter, with *
smile.
“Then you’ve got the hull secret o’
mv case.”
“You want to cultivate your lan
guage then, so that in conversing with
Miss Black you may cope with those
young men at Bushville.”
“That’s jist it,” said John, turning
his face toward Walter. “Ye see them
Bushville chaps just lake the shine out
o’ a feller that’s been raised among
horses, oxen and mules.”
“All right, John,” Walter answered.
“Now, in the first place, let me crit
icise you some in your pronunciation.”
“ Hold on there,” said John, “what
do ye mean by them big words?”
*• Criticise means to judge, to exam
ine and point out your faults.”
“Yes, in course,” raid John, who
hardly understood Walter yet.
“You are in the habit of calling a
girl a gal.”
“Ain’t that right?”
“No, you should never use it.”
“1 won’t then.”
‘•You seem defi ient in grammar;
you frequently use the objective ‘them’
in the nominative case.”
“Yes,” said John, floundering in a
sea of uncertainty as to the meaning of
his tutor.
‘Woii do not seem to know that the
verb must agree with the noun in num
ber and person, and frequently use a
plural noun as subject and singular
verb ’ ’
“Hold on, hold on,” said John,
reaching out his hand despairingly.
“I’m afraid ye’re given mo too big a
dose to take all to one’t.”
“Why, I’ve not given you an)- tiling
yet.”
“Then I’d better give it up. I can t
learn all that in a lifetime. 1 kin stand
sense talk, but when it comes to nouns
by plural and singular, I cave in.
Pinkey kin learn all about them things,
but I never will; I hate ’em. The
teacher flogged me six times one day,
eos 1 didn't know what a noun was,
and I’ve hated the thing over since.
Darn a noun, I want nothing to do
with ’em.”
Walter smiled and said: “But John
don't you love Susie Black?”
“1 do, by Jupiter, I do!”
“Will you not put yourself to some
inconvenience for her sake?”
“I will, you bet I will.”
“Do you not wish to speak as cor
rectly as those young fellows at Bush
ville, the clerks, the bankers and
school teachers?”
a’s. ’
“Then why not trv?”
“1 will.”
Walter now saw at once that John's
teacher had made a mistake in giving
him abstract rules, so he commenced
to give him object lessons. He showed
him the difference between false and
correct sentences, commencing with
the most simple; “I are” and “1 am,”
were explained to John, and “they
are,” showing him practically that the
verb must agree with the noun in
number. Then step by step, lie
taught him without a (took until in a
few weeks there was a vast improve
ment in John’s pronunciation and
speech. He declared lie would soon
be able to talk as well as Pinkey.
CHAPTER VI.
A SUNDAY IN inn COUNTRY.
rreston Flat, as we have said, was a
long strip of country almost complete
ly isolated from the rest of the world.
It was divided into four school districts
lying cast and west, up and down the
creek. These districts constitute as
many distinct neighborhoods. Each
had a congregation that assembled
once a month at the school-house, for
the purpose of hearing the word of
God. The Flat could only support one
preacher, and it took him one month
to make the round. Rev. Mr. Ban
croft was one of those pioneer Metho
dist ministers, who sought by long,
loud sermons and honest hard work to
drive religion into his congregation.
It was the third Sunday after Waltei'’s
residence with the Miies’ family that
Mr. Bancroft was to preach at their
school-house. Great preparations were
made the day before in their way of
cooking, baking and having tho house
work completed, so there would be but
little to do on the day following.
“Ye arc going to meetin’ to-day are
ye not?” asked John Miles of Walter,
one Sabbath morning.
“1 suppose so.”
The day was one of those mild,
beautiful autumn days that follow the
first frost. The sun had lost its fierce
heat, yet retained enough warmth to be
comfortable.
“Guess, then, yc want a horse to
ride,” said John, thoughtfully.
“How far is it?”
“Nigh on to two miles.”
“Do you all go on horseback or in
the wagon?”
“Oh, father and mother’ll go in tho
buggy; but these young folks prefer a
horse. Ye see a feller then is independ
ent like; he can just ride wherever he
pleases.”
Walter did not thoroughly under
stand John’s meaning until he had
passed a Sabbath at the country
church.
He was furnished a fine, dark bay
horse, a saddle and bridle and trap
pings, such as delight the hearts of
country youth. John and Ben Miles
saddled the most fractious horses on
the farm.
Nothing so delights a young country
gentleman as to ride a horse. The
wilder the belter, and they usually have
them so well trained that the moment
they come in sight of a young lady t lie
animal, to use their expression, “be
gins cuftin’ up.”
A more sober animal was saddled for
Pinkey, and Walter was sure lh.it her
beauty was enhanced by the long llow
ijyor riding habit and jaunty hat.
3ohn and Ben were both busy trying
to mount their half broken steeds. It
was no easy matter and required con
siderable “woa” “woaing,” and stand
still, you little fool,” before the feat
could be accomplished.
Walter, seeing that neither one of the
brothers could aid the sister to mount,
led lu r horse around to the stile, where
she stood like a statue of beauty, aud
assisted her into the saddle.
Mr. and Mrs. Miles were in the open
buggy driving down the road at an
easy pace, and both John and Ben,
having mounted their steeds, galloped
away more as if they were on a fox
chase than going to church. Their
reckless conduct set Pinkey’s horse to
prancing and Walter sprang into his
saddle and riding at her side took the
rein near the bit and soothed the ani
mal until he became quiet.
Pinkey smiled graciously, and
thanked* Walter. They rode along to
gether just behind the buggy, which
sent up clouds of dust from the revolv
ing wheels.
“Why do your brothers nde such
unruly horses?” nske ! Walter. “They
umst be dangerous not only to them
selves, but the ladies and children who
are traveling along the road.”
“ They are in love with danger.’’ re
plied Pinker. “Both are reckless as
to consequences, and the advice
ot parents or friends i- not heeded. ’
Scarcely had she spoken ere the clat
ter of hoofs was heard coming up be
hind tlidtn, and Walter had only time
to seize the rein of Pinkey’s horse and
hold it from running away when two
or three farmer boys, mounted on half
broken colt', dashed by. Seeing that
the young lady's horse was frightened
thev yelled like Indians.
“I never before saw such ill-man
nered young men,” said Walter.
Pinkey laughed and explained that
such was the custom of the country..
“Then I wonder you are not afraid
to venture out on horseback.”
“Oh, I am used to it,” she said.
“Arc you never frightened?”
“No, sir.”
“Will not your horse run away
“He mirrlft.”
“Would you not be thrown from tho
saddle? ’
“I hardly think so. I never was
thrown.”
“You arc an excellent horsewoman. ”
“All girls raised in this portion of
the country are so considered,” she an
swered.
“But you do not approve of such
conduct?”
“No, sir; it is too rude to meet the
approval of any one; especially 011 our
way to church.”
From every cross road anil forest
path they met ohl folks, young folks
and children on their way to church.
Dressed in their holiday clothes, some
ill becoming and ill lilting, yet all clean.
Some in wagons, more on horseback
and a goodly number on foot.
Walter soon learned the customs of
the young horsemen, and although lie
could not approve of their reckless rid
ing could not but admire it. The
school-house was in the midst of a
beautiful grove of tall, straight young
trees which furnished hitching posts
for all. In this grove were wagons,
carts and buggies, and a large number
of saddle horses. He assisted Pinkey
to alight at the stile and hitched her
horse at a convenient sapling. Then
lie accompanied the young lady to the
door of the school-house, when she
passed in, taking a seat on the ladies’
side, and he on the other.
As usual in country churches there
were several loafers and loungers wait
ing on the outside of the building
They were men and boys who attend
church merely to sec who is tie re, but
who never hear a word or gospel
preached. Among them he roeognized
Bill Martin and shuddered as those
baleful eyes were fixed on him. There
was more than one nod and wink
exchanged among the women with
marriageable daughters, as the new
farm hand entered with Pinkey.
Mrs. Goss, who sat by the side of
Mrs. Jones, wondered why Mrs.
Miles would allow her daughter to go
to meeting with tramps. The mar
riageable young daughters, neverthe
less, looked with no little envy on Pin
key's companion. His slender form
and urbane air contrasted strangely
with the rough uncouth youth of the
neighborhood. His manner was gen
tlemanly and quiet, while the illiterate,
ill-bred young man of the country sat
chewing gum and springing up every
few minutes to run out of doors, much
to tho annoyance of Rev. Mr. Ban
croft, ovho was endeavoring to in
terest his congregation.
When the services were over Walter
stood at the door awaiting the exit of
his companion. Some one touched lnm
011 the elbow, and upon looking around
ho beheld Bill Marlin at his side. Those
eyes with the same evil look were fixed
upon him; the pernicious grin on his
face betrayed the evil thought of his
heart and sent a chill over the frame of
our hero.
“Don’t be uneasy,” he said, in a low
tone “ I ain't goirf to give you away.”
How hateful he seemed, and Walter
spurn al him with the contempt he de
served.
Pinkey made her appearance, took
the arm of the new farm hand, and
they walked through the crowd, that
had gathered about the door to the
stiles. Waiter assisted Pinkey to don
iter riding skirt and mount her horse,
then sprung upon his own animal and
rode by her side. The woods were
alive with reckless horsemen, and their
shouts would make one think that a
grand fox chase had been inaugurated.
We can not describe that ride home.
Walter refers to it to-day as the hap
piest hour of his life. What did they
talk about? Of the trees, the blue
sky, the dee]) forest and fairy-like
dells; but be the subject what it might,
their eyes spoke a deeper, holier lan
guage than words can. The glances
given and returned were the commun
ings of fond hearts. When Walter as ;
sisted the beautiful daughter of his
employer to alight, his hand trembled
as it touched hers. The road seemed
far too short, and lie wished it would
extend indefinitely, and that Pinkey
might be his companion. No words
were spoken, but each understood the
other, and Walter felt troubled at the
thought
When she had dismounted, Pinkey
ran up to her room to undress and cry,
while Walter led the horses to the
barn, and to contemplate his own sad
fate —a cruel fate that made him love
an object so far above him,
CHAPTER VII.
BILL MARTIN’S VISIT.
The next day after the preaching at
Preston Flat school-house, Pinkey
Miles was alone in her mother’s kitch
en. (In Preston Flat kitchens always
belonged to the wife, regardless of all
rules of law either common or statu
tory.) Pinkey's mind was busy with
thoughts half perplexing and half pleas
ing. A faint flush occasionally suffus
ed her check, followed by a look of per
plexing doubt. No remark had been
made in her presence concerning her
companion of the day before, yet,
proud as she was of him, there was
something so strange and unknown
about him that site did not know
whether it was right or not. “lie has
always shown himself to be a gentle
man,” she finally said to herself, as she
sat by the kitchen tabic, looking out of
the window. “There is something so
manly about him; his face is so frank,
open and honest that he could not have
donte wrong, even if he did come here
as a tramp.” The teakettle sang mer
rily, giving forth a hot vapor that filled
the room. Pinkey seemed, if possible,
more beautiful than ever in her neat
kitchen habit and clean white collar,
Remarks, site well knew, had been
made by the neighbors concerning
Walter Brownfield, but until proven to
be an unworthy character she deter
mined to defend him.
The window at which she was sit
ting overlooked the large meadow
lands that lay between the farms of Mr.
Miles and Jack Hawkins. She espied
a man coming across the field; his
shambling gait and rough appearance
at once co’ vineed her that it was the
worthless Bill Martin.

INJUSTIUE COURECTED.
Convincing Verification of Widecast Pub
lic Statements.
To titf. Readers of the Courant-
Amkrican :
In common with many publishers and
editors, we have been accustomed to look
upon certain statements which w r e have
seen in our columns as merely adroit ad
vertising.
Consequently we feel justified in taking
the liberty of printing a few points from a
private letter recently received from one
of our largest patrons, as a sort of confes
sion of faith to our readers. We quote:
“We have convinced ourselves that by
telling what we know to be true, we have
produced at last a permanent conviction
in the public mind. Seven years ago we
stated what the national disease of this
country was, and that it was rapidly in
creasing. Three years ago we stated that
a marked check had been given it.
“The statistics of one of the largest life
insurance companies of this country shows
that in 1883 and 1884, the mortality from
kidney disorders did not increase over the
previous years: other companies stated
the same thing. It is not presumptuous
for us to claim credit for checking these
ravages.
“Seven years ago we stated that the
condition of the kidneys wa9 the key to the
condition of health : within the past five
years all careful life insurance companies
have conceded the truth of this statement,
for, whereas, ten years ago, chemical an
alysis to determine the condition of the
kidneys was not required, to day millions
of dollars in risks are refused, because
chemical examination discovers unsus
pected diseases of the kidneys.
“Seven years ago we stated that the rav
ages of Bright’s Disease were insignificant
compared with other unsuspected disorders
of kidneys of many misleading names;
that ninety-three per cent, of human ail
ments are attributable to deranged kid
neys, which fills the blood witn uric acid,
or kidney poison, which causes these
many fatal diseases.
“The uric acid, or kidney poison, is the
real cause of the majority ofcases of paral
ysis, apoplexy, heart disease, convulsions,
pneumonia, consumption, and insanity;
over half the victims of consumption, are
first the victims of diseased kidneys.
“When the recent death of an honored
exofficial of the United States was an
nounced, his physicians said thatalthough
he was suffering from Bright’s Disease,
that was not the cause of death. He was
not frank enough to admit that the apo
plexy which overtook him in his bed, was
the fatal effect of the kidney poison in the
blood, which had eaten away the sub
stance of the arteries and brain: nor was
Logan’s physician honest enough to state
that his fatal rheumatism was caused by
kidney acid in the blood.
“It the doctors would state in official re
ports the original cause of death, the peo
ple of this country would be alarmed, yes,
nearly panic stricken, at the feaful mor
ta’ity from kidney disorders.”
Th# writers of the above letter give these
frets to the public simply to justify the
claims that they have made, that “if the
kidneys and liyer are kept in a healthy
condition by the use of Warner’s safe
cure, which hundreds of thousands haye
proved to be a specifie, when all other
received the endorsement of the highest
medical talent in Europe, Australasia and
America, many a life would be prolonged
and the happiness of the people preserved.
It is successful with so many different
diseases because it and it alone, can re
move the urica acid from the blood through
the kidneys.”
Our readers are familiar with the prep
aration named.
Commendation thereof has often ap
peared in our columns.
We believe it to be one of the best, if not
the best ever manufactured. We know
the proprietors are men of character and
influence.
AVe are certain they have awakened a
wide-spread interest in the public mind
concerning the importance of the kidneys.
We believe with them that they are the
key to health, and that for their restora
tion from disease and maintenance in
health, there is nothing equal to this
great remedy.
The proprietors say they “do not glory
in this uniyersal prevalence of disease,
but having started out with the purpose
of spreading the merits of Yi r arner’s safe
cure before the world, because it cured
our senior proprietor, who was given up
by doctors as incurable, we feel it our
duty to state the facts and leave the pub
lic to its own inferences. We point to
our claims, and to their public and uni
versal verification with pride, and if the
public does not believe what we say, we
tell them to ask their friends and neigh
bors what ihey think about our prepara
tions.”
As stated above, we most cordially
commend the perusal of this correspon
dence by our readers, believing that in so
doing, we are fulfilling a simple public
obligation.
A Publisher’* Statement
Now that the season of Whooping
Cough, Colds, Sore Throats, Bronchitis
and Hoarseness is upon us, it would be
well to consider what D. C. Talbot,
Publisher of the Wisconsin Statesman”
says of Humphreys’ Homeopathic
Specific No. Twenty: “I take pleasure
in making the following unsolicited state
ment respecting the treatment of AVhoop
ing Cough in my own family. My child,
who, five or six weeks ago,"was exposed
to Whooping Cough, came down with it.
At the same time, the two older children
were in the same condition, and a serious
time was anticipated; but by following
the directions given in Humphreys’
“Manual” simply using No. Twenty
for the treatment of this dangerous dis
ease, all were completely cured in three
days. Indeed, so far as we haye tested
it this Specific ha3 most ably sustained
the recomendutiun of its author, Hr.
Humphreys, in every case.” He did not
know that physicians constantly use it.
KIDNEY COMPLAINT.
For over six years I have ’-een a terrible
sufferer from a troublesome kidney com
plaint, for the relief of which I have spent
over $240 without benefit; the most noted
so-called remedies proving failures. The
use of one single bottle of B. B. R. has
been marvelous, giving more relief than
all other treatment combined It is a
quick cure, while others, if they cure at
all, are in the distant future.

If Tried in the Crucible,

About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine they applied
was like lire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before I had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health hail been oad for two or three years—l baa a hacking cougn ana spit blood contin

a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.
