Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contains Mercury,
>uh Mercury will surely destroy the sense
;of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through

never he used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the dam
age they will do are teu fold to the good
you can possibly thrive from them.

Fix-Gov. A. If. Stephens’ Cousin,
I am full cousin of the late Ex-Governor Alex
ander H. Stephens, and have been a postal clerk
on different railroads since isus. For ten years I
have been a sufferer from a cancer on m.v face,
which grew worse until the discharge of matter
became profuse and very offensive. 1 became
thoroughly disgusted with blood purillcrs and
pronounced them humbugs, as I had tried many
w2thout relief.
Finally I was induced to use B. B. 8., which
was about tbe Ist of February, and continued its
use until the latter part of April. The offensive
discharge decreased at once and the hardness
around the cancer disappeared. It improved my
general health and 1 rapidly gained health and
strength. The discharge gradually decreased
and the cancer became less and less in size until
nothing remains but a scar to tell the tale of a
once dangerous cancer. All who have seen me
since I have commenced tlie use of B. B. B. bear
testimony of my great improvement, and the
scar on my face allows that it cured tlie cancer.
1 find that IS. 11. B. comes squarely up to what it
is recommended slid l cannot say too much in
praise of this wondetfuf medicine. 1 have tried
them all, but 11. B. B, stands at the top as a blood
purifier.
The above is copied from the Athens (Ga.)
Banner-Watch man. being the voluntary language
of Mr. James A. Greer, which editor Gantt in
dorsee.
“Mr. Greer is an honest, upright citizen of
Athens who had a bad cancer, and his numerous
friends thought that he could not live very long,
as the cancer was gradually sapping tin* founda
tion of liis constitution, but now looks well and
hearty,”
2 Against 18.
Several physicians have pronounced my disease
blood poison, caused by paint, or lead in the
paint, but they could not cure me. Last sum
mer I used eighteen bottles of a largely advertised
blood medicine, which did me no more good than
so much water.
I have used only two bottles of B. B, B. and
am proud to say that 1 have received a greater
benefit from them than from the eighteen, and
am now rapidly recovering. There is no ques
tion about the superiority Of 11. 11. B. over all
blood remedies.

The treatment of many thousands of ctues
of those chronic weaknesses and distressing'
ailments peculiar to females, at the invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute. Buffalo, N. Y.,
has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt
ing and thoroughly testing remedies for the
cure of woman's peculiar maladies.
Dir. Picirce’a Favorite Prescription
is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and
valuable experience. Thousands of testimo
nials, received from patients und from physi
cians who have tested it in the more aggra
vated and obstinate coses which had baffled
their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful
remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of
suffering women, it is not recommended as a
“cure-all," but as a most perfect Specific for
woman’s peculiar ailments.
Am a powerful, invigorating tonic,
it imparts strength to tlio whole system,
and to the womb and its appendages in
particular. For overworked, “worn-out,”
r ‘ run-down," debilitated teachers,’milliners,
dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls," house
keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women
generally, I)r. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is the greatest earthly boon, being uuequaled
as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
Asa soothing and strengthening
nervine, “Favorite Prescription" is une
qualed and is invaluab.e in allaying and sub
duing nervous excitability, irritability, ex
haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and
other distressing, nervous symptoms com
monly attendant upon functional and organic
disease of the womb. It induces refreshing
Bleep and relieves mental anxiety and de
spondency.
Dr. Piercers Favorite Prescription
is a legitimate medicine, carefully
compounded by an experienced and skillful
physician, and adapted to woman's delicate
organization. It is purely vegetable In its
composition and perfectlv harmless in Its
effects in any condition or the system. For
morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever
cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys
§epia and kindred symptoms, its use, in small
oses, will prove very beneficial.
“ Favorite Prescription*’ is a posi
tive cure for the most complicated and ob
stinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing,
painful menstruati.n, unnatural suppressions,
prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back,
“female weak ness,'* auteversion, retroversion,
bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion,
inflammation and ulceration of the womb, in
flammation, pain and tenderness in ovaries,
accompanied! with “ internal heat.”
Ait a regulator and promoter of func
tional action, at that critical period of change
from girlhood to womanhood, “ Favorite Pre
scription ” is a perfectly safe remedial agent,
and can produce only good results. It is
equally efficacious and valuable in its effects
when taken for those disorders and derange
ments incident to that later and most critical
period, known as “ The Cliango of Lite.”
“ Favori te Prescription.” when taken
in connection with the use or Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative
doses of Dr. Pierce's Purgative Pellets (Little
Liver Pills), cures Liver. Kidney and Bladder
diseases. Their combined use also removes
blood taints, and abolishes cancerous and
scrofulous humors from the system.
“ Favorite Prescription ” is the only
medicine for women, sold by druggists, under
a positive guarantee, from the manu
facturers, that it will give satisfaction in every
case, or money will be refunded. This guaran
tee has been printed on the bottle-wrapper,

[Copnriyh~ , < Utst, by A. Ji. Kellogg Seutpaper Co.\
CHaP'PER XXll.—Continued.
Did they have a cat at their house?
Yes, certainly, and a titter went round
the room, making' the lrairv mole on
Mother Tartrum’s chin tremble. Did
they have a kitten? The prosecuting
attorney did not see that this was rele
vant, but. the justice did. Yes, they
had a kitten. How old was the. kitten?
Four or live months old. Was it a very
playful kitten? It was, but was never
knoivu to open a carpet bag and hide
away a gold bracelet. This produced
a laugh at the lawyer's expense, and
Mother Tartrum clapped her hands for
joy, while tlie hairy mole on her chin
was greatly agitated.
The lawyer then asked Ilallie if she
knew who put the bracelet in the car
pet bag? No, she did not. Did she do
it? “No,” very indignantly.
She was dismissed and Mrs. Arnold
sworn. Her examination in chief was
the same as her daughter’s. Then on
cross-examination she admitted that it
was not dark when Helen and “Pete,
the peddler,” came to her house. That
Helen's brother was with her and both
were soaked with rain. That Pete was
a man of good character, and that they
stated that Pete had found Helen and
her little brother under a tree, and he
volunteered to carry tlie little boy that
far. She even thought that there
might be nothing wrong in her coming
there with Pete. Mother Tartrum at
this point shook her head. Mrs. Ar
nold stated that they had a eat, yes
they had an old eat, and that old eat
had two kittens, they were very play
ful kittens too, but she had never
known them to hide things in people's
valises. Might not tlie bracelet have
rolled from the dressing ease? It
might, she admitted, but it was not
likely to roll into some other persons
carpet bag.
Had she ever heard Helen’s character
questioned prior to this event? Well,
there lmd been some rumors. Mothers
Tartrum and Grundy nodded tlieir
heads approvingly. What were they?
She could not repeat them, but they
went to show that she was not as
good as she ought to be.
Had she not helped to circulate these
rumors? She might have repeated
them- Had she not advised Mrs. Stu
art to discharge Helen? Mrs. Arnold
was confused, and stammered out
something about its being for the good
of tlie family.
“Speak out, Mrs. Arnold,” said Lay
man. severely. “Did you, or did you
not advise Mrs. Stuart to discharge
her?”
After a moment’s confusion, she
stammered, “yes.”
“And then employed her yourself?”
The lady, still more confused, answered
that she did. She left the witness
stand greatly perplexed, but still clear
as to the bracelet being found in Hel
en’s possession. It was found among
some handkerchiefs wrapped up in a
piece of blue calico goods, new, and
evidently just cut off the piece. The
calico was produced. She had never
seen it before; it was found in Helen’s
carpet bag. and Helen whispered to her
attorney that she had never seen it
either, until that fatal morning. Did
not the goods really belong to Mrs. Ar
nold? Sin* said: “No.”
Mother Tartrum next took the stand
and said the “gal was no better'll she
art to lx*—aliens said she’d come to
bad. Was not the least bit surprised
when she heard she'd stole a bracelet.”
On cros.s-examiiiation, said she didn’t
think it nice for a “gal to be mimin'
about after night with men. What
men had Helen run about with after
night? She heard she went home one
night with Warren Stuart from meet
in’. Did not other girls allow young
men to accompany them home from
church? The hairy mole trembled and
her eyes flashed with rage. “Other
gals didn't come to people’s houses with
strange men 'way after night to stay
all night.” When had she gone to any
one’s house with a strange man? She
went to Judge Arnold’s. This was
thrown out with a side glance of fire.
Did not Mrs. Arnold say that Helen
and Pete come there before night?
Mother Tartrum was caught. Her
face was dark with wrath, and she left
the stand more hopelessly confused
than Mrs. Arnold. Mother Grundy
came next and was no better.
Hut the discovery of the bracelet in
Helen's carpet bag, and her admission
of the fact to the sheriff fastened the
guilt upon her. The evidence was all
in, and the justice cleared his throat,
elevated Iris glasses and rubbed the top
of his head, very much as if he had u
painful duty to perform.
CHAPTER XXIII.
THE ACQUITTAL
Squire Bluffers was nibbing his head
as if lie was in no hurry to decide this
case. He calmly surveyed the audi
ence who waited his decision. His
eyes rested nervously for a moment
upon the pale yet calm features of the
prisoner. Judge Arnold, with arms
folded, sat erect, his short roan whisk
ers almost horizontal with his ears.
He looked triumphant. To him there
was but one way a man of common
sense could decide.
Mrs. Arnold’s head was once more
high in the air. Hallie is triumphant
and Mother Tartrum occasionally sends
fiery glances at Helen and her lawyer.
At this moment hurried
were heard upon the pavement with
out, During the last moments of the
trial the belated train had come in
from Stratton, and these hurried steps
came from the depot.
Two men came in at the door anil
commenced elbowing their way through
the dense crowd which packed the
court room.
“I say, Squire Bluffers,” cried" the
well-known voice of Pete, the peddler,
“hev ye measured this case and torn it
oft' yet? If ye heven’t, I’ve got some
remnants o’ testimony to throw into
the bargain.”
Pete, w ith Warren Stuart close be
hind him, now struggled through to
the small open space about the justice.
Warren’s face w<f! pale and his mouth
showed a firmness that his friends had
not seen before.
Judge Arnold arose, bowed and
smiled warmly, and took his hand.
Warren’* greeting wa* cool, but h
was silent. He did not speak to Helen.
There was no unnatural, tragical, run
ning forward and embracing a> we read
of in sensational novels, they merely
glanced at each other ami Mrs. Bridges
felt Helen’s hand tremble.
A discussion now arose as to whether
the case was closed, past hearing fur
ther testimony or not. The attorney
for the State insisted that it was, and
Helen's attorney insisted that it was
not.
The justice agreed with the attorney
for the defense.
“Now, I j *st want to till that law
yer for that gal soiftethin',” said Pete.
“ I think I kin make somethin’ clear.”
Five minutes was given Mr. Lavnian
to consult with the new witness.
“What is she accused o' stealin'?”
Pete asked.
“ A gold bracelet.”
’’ Anv thing else?”
“No.”
“No money?”
“No, that is only a slanderous rumor
started by some designing person.”
Pete then whispered for a few
moments with the attorney, and they
returned.
The peddler wanted to go after his
pack before he gave in his testimony,
and wag granted permission by the
Squire.
He went out, and in a few minutes
! came back with his pack of goods on
I his back, lie set it down on tlie floor,
and was sworn.
Judge Arnold looked puzzled, his
wife alarmed, and Hallie confused.
Mothers Tartrum and Grundy were
no little perplexed, and the mole was
* trembling again.
“Do you know Helen Lakeman?”
asked the attorney for defense.
“1 do—she’s an all-wool gal, too, an’
no mistake.”
“Never mind figurative speech, Pete,
just answer straightforward. Did you
see her on the evening she went to Mrs.
Arnold's?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Where did you see her first that
evening?”
“ It was under a big tree in the lane.
She an’ her little brother had stopped
under it, out o’ the rain.”
“ What did you say to them?”
“ I got ’(‘in to go with me to Judge
Arnold's house,” said Pete. “ I was
goin’ there to stay all night, an’ I car
ried her little brother.”
“ What time did you get there?”
“It was just about sundown. It was
still rainin’ an’ I couldn’t exactly tell
the’ time, but it was a good bit afore
dark.”
“ Who met you at tlie door?”
“ Nil’s. Arnold.”
“ You stayed there all night?”
“Yes.”
“Where did you sleep that night?”
“Up-stairs, right over the parlor.”
“ Ait- you an early riser?”
“ Yes, sir. I’m all ers lip before any
body else. I want to see the sun come
up shinin’ through the tree tops as
bright as fifteen-eent calico.”
“Was you up early that morning?'’
“Yes, an’ I had left my pack in the
hall an’ I went down to see if any
PETE TESTIFIES.
thing was damp, an’ when I gits down
there I heard somethin’ rattlin’ behind
my pack, an’ pullin’ it ’round saw a
party little white kitten playin’ with a
gold bracelet.”
“Would you know the bracelet?”
“1 think I would: there was two lit
tle dents like somethin’ had bit it on
tlie under side. I took my knife ail’
cut a cross jist. between ’em.”
“What do you say as to this being
the bracelet?”
The lawyer handed Pete the bracelet
which had been exhibited so frequently
that morning.
“That’s it,” said Pete, “an’ here’s
the cross I mark ! with my kuife.”
He exhibited it to the justice, who was
now all interest and attention.
“What did you do with that brace
let Pete?” asked Mr. Layman.
“ I thot that bracelet belonged to
Miss Lakeman. Her mother lied a
pair like ’em once, and I was sure it
wus hers, and she or her brother lied
(trapped it there. I took a piece o'
goods from my pack an’ tore off this
piece (here he held up the blue calico
which had puzzled Helen so much),
then 1 wrapped up this bracelet an' put
it in Miss Lakeman’s carpet bag. I
lowed to speak to her about it, but I
forgot it. There is the other remnant
o’ the piece in my pack,” taking it
out and fitting the two pieces together.
“Now, by the leave of the court, I
will ask Judge Arnold a question,” said
Mr. Layman.
Leave was granted.
“Judge, where did you purchase this
bracelet and the mate to it?”
“1 bought them,” said the Judge,
still calm and dignified, “at the ad
ministrator's sale of the property of
Mr. Benjamin Lakeman, deceased.”
“ Had they not been his wife’s jew
elry?”
“I do not know.”
“They belonged to the family?”
“I suppose so, 1 paid forty dollars for
tue nan.
“We are now willing, your Honor,'
said Mr. Layman, “to risk this ease
with you.”
The justice was smiling a smile
which was rather dangerous to the
prosecution.
“Well, gentlemen,” he said, “this
certainly puts anew feature on the
case. I shall be compelled to discharge
the defendant.”
Mrs. Arnold, to her credit be it said,
arose and was first to grasp Helen’s
liaml and congratulate her.
“Helen, my dear, forgive us for the
great wrong we have done you.’
“Forgive me, Mrs. Arnold, for I, too,
have done you a wrong by accusing
you, in my mind, of knowingly perse
cuting me.”
“I think that ye all owe me a forgive
ness, or a good kickin’, I’m not sartain
which,” said l’ete, lighting his pipe.
“It seems it nil grew out o' one of my
blunders. But I kin now sell ye cal
icos, linens ami worsteds goods cheap
enough to make amends fur it all”
At this moment Clarence burst into
the room.
“Squire!” lib cried, “this girl must
go to our house, Her brother is djr
“She l-t *nt liberty to go whore she

jiistivt*.
“Let no take her,” said Warren.
“Warren! What, are you here?”
eiied Clarence. “Great goodness! hut
this is lucky.”
“Did you bring your horse and
buggv ?”
“Yes.”
Warren then spoke a word to Helen,
whose pale face grew sad. She took
his arm, and they left the court room.
All defiance left the face of Hallie Ar- j
nold as she saw Helen let', triumphantly
away by Warren Stuart.
CHAPTER XXIV.
CONCLUSION.
The good may triumph, but are never
triumphant. Only the wicked exult at j
their own success and the overthrow of
an enemy. The truly noble man or
woman never delights in the downfall
of another, even though he be an enemy.
Triumph and joy were all darkened by
the startling intelligence that little
Amos was dying and had sent to see
his sister. She did not know, but in her
imagination had pictured a part of the |
little fellow's sufferings. The Lord had
been g ood to her, and she prayed God
to spare the little brother, if it was llis
holy will. Yet, ever through her ears
the words kept ringing: “Not my will,
but Thine, be done.”
Warren and Helen spoke but fi w
words on the drive. They both felt
that it was a drive to the scene of
death, and both were uttering silent
prayers for strength to bear up under
the coming trial.
The old farm house is in sight. Rose
stands at the gate looking patiently
down the long road. She evinces no sur
prise at seeing hey brother and Helen.
Her face shows traces of weeping.
The father meets them at the door.
No word is spoken, but they are con
ducted at once to the chamber of
death.
Mrs. Stuart arises from the bed where
she has just completed the sad task of
straightening out the little limbs and
closing those eyelids forever.
Tin* hired girl pauses by tlu* bed-side,
and gazes for a moment on the sweet
face of her little dead brother. There
is a smile upon his face, and Mrs.
Stuart says the last words lie uttered
were: “Yes, mother, I come—l come!”
lie suffers no longer. He had gone
to the world of eternal peace aid
youth. He was now in’the arms of his
mother, in that Celestial City not made
with hands.
Was tins death? No, though we call
it death. A change is a far better
term. Was this an act of Providence?
We poor, short-sighted mortals are apt
to criticise the acts of AlmydiU: God.
The languagaof Job was in Helen s
mind:
“Is there not an appointed time for
man upon earth? Are not his days also
like the days of a hireling? Asa ser
vant earnestly desire th the shadow, and
as a hireling looketh for the reward of
liis work.” Job VII, Ist and 'id.
“If a man die, shall lie live again?
All the days of my appointed time will
I wait till my change come.” Job XIV,
14th.
Yes, little Amos, did live again. His
change had come, and her heart told
her it was better for him.
Helen felt lonely ; though kind words
were spoken to her. There are always
so many things to suggest the presence
of the departed, long after they' have
left us. We seem to hear their voices
in the halls, and each garment suggests
their presence.
Often in the night, Helen seemed to
hear the painful cough which had long
afflicted her brother. She would start
up from her slumbers, so real did the
vision seem, and it would be some min
utes before she could convince herself
that little Amos was liot alive and in
the tlesh once more to suffer.
Again and again did she in dreams
live over the scenes and trials with
mat iitue orotner wnom she lovea near-,
er than life.
DEATH OF AMOS.
Both Mr. and Mrs, Stuart did all they
could to console poor Helen. Brother
Blaze, the minister, came.
Oh, what a world of consolation is a
good pastor in the hour of sorrow and
death. Who can speak such words of
comfort as the man of God?
•‘Suffer little children to come unto
tne and forbid them not, for of such is
the Kingdom of Heaven,” he said to the
fair mourner.
Mrs. Arnold and her husband sent
regrets and words of comfort to Helen,
but deemed it best not to attend the
funeral. Pete, tle peddler, came, and
offered the best of his stock for burial
clothes. Rose Stuart was Helen’s dear
est comforter, not even excepting War
ren, who found himself placed in such a
strange position that he could offer but
little consolation. The only satisfac
tion Clarence had, was that he had
thrashed Bill Jones, “the destroyer of
that child’s life.”
The funeral was set for an early day.
Rev. Blaise took for his text “The
Lord giveth and the Lord taketli away;
blessed be the name of the Lord.”
The sermon was not noted for elo
quence or rhetoric, but it was full of
hope and cheer, lie did not, as many
ministers do, preach all ’round the sub
ject, but right at it. lie said the body
lyihg before them was only the casket
which had contained little Amos, but
that he had left this frail tenement of
clay, and was now with his parents in
the eternal home where night never
comes. There was no cause for weep
ing, it was the change of which Job
spake. That which was our loss was
his eternal gain, and yet as selfish mor
tals we could not hut shed tears and
long for the society of the departed.
His closing remarks about the final
meeting upon the shores of the better
land, where friends and relatives among
that angel band would greet us with
loud hosannas, was so stirring as to
cause many sobs of tender sympathy
and hope, and there we would find the
little boy no longer a cripple, but one of
the fairest and brightest of all that an
gelic host.
When the sermon (which was
preached in the school-house) was
over, the nail-bearers, six bright little

the father and mother of the child were
buried. There he was laid away by
their side to rest till the resurrection
mom. .
Helen returned home with hose. blie
as yet knew nothing of the discovery
on her wild lands, and of the good
fortune which was about to befall her.
Supposing herself still poor and de
pendent upon her labors, she, tne next
morning after the funeral, announced
her intention of ojiee more going out
into the world to seek employment.
Warren asked her to come with him
in the parlor, and when alone lu* said:
“ Helen, a few weeks ago we were be
trothed in the sight of Heaven, I loved
you then, 1 love you ten times more
now, but I am for the present going to
request that our betrothal vows be sev
ered. lam not worthy of you now.
Trembling with strange emotions she
consented that his proposal be with
drawn.
“Now,” Warren went on, “ we are
free to go where we will, and choose
whom we may, are we not?”
“ Yes,” she answered, sadly.
“When 1 avowed my love and pro
posed marriage, you were poor. 1
loved you then. Now you are rich and
may desire a husband who is in your
own sphere.”
“ What do you mean?” she asked.
“Do you not remember the wild,
waste lands set apart to you?”
. “Yes.”
“ A miner has discovered a valuable
lead and silver mine upon them. He
has sent by me a proposition to you to
give you one hundred thousand dollars
for half the tract,”
Helen could hardly believe her ears,
yet Warren convinced her of the truth.
“ I could not hold you to your be
trothal vows made when we were equal.
You '-ihfjL -iii*w and can (Sfcwosr my
self or whomsoever you may for a hus
band.”
For an answer she threw her arms
about his neck and wept for joy.
Mr. Layman, wlm had an eye to
business, at once began suit against
Judge Arnold for false imprisonment,
in the name of his client. The Judge
who was alarmed, offered to compro
mise the matter by deeding the I*l umber
farm back to Helen.
When Helen heard of the proceed
ings she went to Newton and ordered
the suit dismissed, saying:
“ I can forgive as I hope to be for
given.”
Nor would she even take the farm by
way of compromise. The Lord had
been good to her, and she would per
mit the Judge to retain it. Such a noble
nature could not fail to be the subject
of favorable comment all over Sandy
Fork neighborhood. Even Mothers
Tartrmn and Grundy sounded her
praises as a “good gal.”
Warren Stuart sought a location for
the practice of his profession in a West
ern county, and, after a year’s absence,
ho returned to claim his sweet young
bride.
The wedding was a quiet affair.
Our friend, the peddler, was present, lie
having insisted upon furnishing the
bride the wedding outfit, which was of
the finest, he said, all wool with fast
colors, not a shoddy thread in ’em.”
Rev. Allyn Blaze officiated.
Helen had disposed of her mining
lands at a fabulous juice to those
Western jeoj)ie. The mines only
proved fair, though remunerating the
purchasers.
One more visit to see that the grass
and flowers were growing on the
graves of those she loved, and then,
kissing her many friends adieu, the
young bride left Sandy Fork with her
husband for their new home, made
1 comfortable by her own wealth and
I industry.
Pete, the juddler, sometimes roams
there in his wanderings, and is always
| a welcome guest, He disposes of his
j pack invariably at the doctor’s house,
I where it is made into clothes lor the
people at the poor-house.
Our story D finished, and if it
should make the burden of even one of
those unfortunate girls who work in
other people’s kitchens lighter, we
shall feel that this story has not been
written in vain.

Women Teachers in France.
The new mles promulgated by the
educational department in France, pre
sent several changes. Women are ad
mitted as teachers at the age of seven
teen, but men not until eighteen. A
very important clause provides that in
public schools of every description all
instruction is to be given exclusively by
laymen. This takes from the clergy
their last hold on elementary education,
for hitherto they have had the right to
nominate in the schools a certain num
ber of teachers who were not subject to
the regulations under which the Govern
ment teachers worked. These teachers
were under the direct control, not of the
Minister of Education, but of the su
perior of the religious society by which
they were appointed. lu the new
rules, too, the regulations respecting
the qualifications of teachers, both pub
lic and private, have been made more
stringent— X. }'. Herald.
