Weeks, superintendent of I)eKalb Pauper Home: From a feeling of gratitude and a desire to lienefit others, I voluntarily make this statement. 1 have great reason to be thankful that 1 ever heard of R. P>. IC. as 1 know what a blessing it has been to me. I have suffered with bronchial Catarrh for a number of years. Six months ago I was taken with severe pain in right ear, which in a few days began to discharge matter, with terrible and almost unbearable palpitation and all sorts of noises in my head. In ten days after the commencement of dis charge and pain in my-ear l began to grow deaf and in six weeks I was so deaf that I could not hear thunder. I was then compelled to use conversation tnbe, and it was often that I could not hear with the tube. T then commenced taking Is. H. ii. and the running of my ear ceased running in five weeks, and can now hear without the tube. My general health has improved, palpitation ceased, and feel like anew being, and appreciate the benefit i have received from li. li. li. (made in Atlanta, Oa.) with gratitude to God and thankfulness to the Proprietors for such a medicine. I cheerfully recommend it to all who are aftieted with deaf ness and catarrh. Try it; persevere in its use and you will be convinced of its value. JOHN \V. WEEKS. Superintendent lie Kalb Pauper Home, Decatur, Ga., May l, 18S6. BRIGHT’S DISEASE.

But the lights put new life into h'm. They meant, at the very worst, a heel of hard goat's cheese and r litter of straw, A •little ravine broke rho plain and led towards the twinkle. lie did not re member the path, but his mind was in a daze. No doubt he would know it well enough by day. At last “ (Jni va la?” He started, and rubbed his eyes. That was not quite the way they challenged in Portuguese. “Friend,' 1 said he. “Lusitanian Le gion, Bringing in wounded —” “ HaUc.hr There was a clatter of arms—why in the v orld should they turn out the guard? But by the light of a lantern he soon saw what the language would have told less sleepy cars. The ears woke up now. and the eyes. too. He looked round him-still bewildered, though as wide awake as a weary man could be. “ F.sealoua?” he asked. “He thinks he is in Escalona!” sa : d the man with the lantern, holding it into his eyes. Then, from the hut that, served for a guard room, came out an ollicer, with Frenchman written all over him, who looked at the swaying soldier on the horse and then from him to the Portuguese soldier on foot, as if he were put out by such a combination of things. Dick saluted, hand to cap. “Ira afraid I've made a slight mistake,” said h.*, in his native tongue. “I’ve brought this comrade of mine, and ad or alive, out of the tight; I’m of the Lu-itanan Legion at Escalona, and 1 thought this was Escalona; but I'm hanged if I think so now, unless you French have cared to carry that beggarly hole. I suppose I'm a prisoner? All right. But I sup pose you’ve got a surgeon for my com rade here?” They only stared. Then the officer gave an order, in which Dick could make out a word that seemed to mean “Interpreter.'’ And he must have been right; for after some quarter of an hour, with the English soldier’s head reclining on his shoulder, a woman, dressed Spanish fashion, appeared, and talked with the officer some five min utes m ire. Then tiie lantern was aga’n thrust into his eyes, so that he could hardly si e for blinking. “Sir,” said she, in English fiat star tled him, “the L eutenant here desires me to interpret your story for him. What shall I say?” ‘ Madam KraSinska! Madam Kras inska, by all that’s—” “Hush. We have no names here, if you please. Remember two things, and we shall get on very well. One none here knows English; not one word, Two -say what you like to mo, and I shall turn it into any sort of French I please. Only, do not lie to me. It is 1 who shall tind the lies.” “The llei—l sho ild think you will!” She spoke to the Lieutenant, as if in terpreting; and afterwards, whenever the prisoner spoke —no doubt quite as faithfully as sli * pleased. “You were more gallant on Wednes day,” sail she. “But it is all equal, 1 quite comprehend you will never be lieve in a woman again—until the next time.” “11m! Is this Escalona?” “Escalona! No; th sis Santa Olalla, do you not know? Have you not then taken my counsel, and come—” “Asa spy? So that’s what you think. Good God. to be taken all in one n ght by a Span’sh she-wolf for a corps -robber and by a spy for a spy!” * T c i,” asked she, sharply, “what brings you here?” “aiy legs; 1 know not what else,” sai l lie. “But you must have crossed the river, ifo v could you think Escalona to be on th's side?” “1 crossed no river.” “i said—no lies to me.” “Lies?” “ Pardon, sir, I know you tell no lies. If you did I should know. Besides I sie. You must have c.osssed the river by the pi nloon; ti.k ng it in the dark for the track. T. at was not clever, sir. But what is to be done?” “Get a surgeon for t >is man. He was alive- some hours ago.” “Ah - your comrade. And he was a handsome comrade, too.” said she, taking the lantern and hoi ling it up to the deal or dying man. “An English se‘rg'*nL Ah. wed. He will light uo more.” “ He is dead, then?” ‘•Alas, yes. You need hold him up HO longer. Lift him doWO.” Dick could rot help a True, the dea 1 man was no more to liitu t :aa the huiidrels upon hundreds of bravo fellows. English and Frei eh, who ha l (lied that day. But he had made him his own, in a fashion, and he would have given h's whole wealth, which was sixpence, to have brought him in alive. The English sergeant was lifted down, roughly—for what was one man more— but nos irreverently, and laid aside, as dead and done for. ‘•Now for l!i • living,’’ said madam?. “Mr. Blaekthorne. you are a great, big, big fool, but 1 l.ke you; it is nice to meet with a great big fool. 1 fear I have done you harm; but, in tine, war i- war. Now you slia’l go free if you will tell mo which side lias ga ned this day; and, mind, what you say 1 shall believe. ’ ‘*l don’t know. And if I did, I should not tell.” But those eyes and that voice, with tlie smile in both, were making more play with him than he c. red to own. ‘"Countess—l moan madam, you have done me more wrong • —than—than a man who is not quite a coward ought t.) bear. 1 ought to be in the place of that poor fellow there. You’ve made me a spy and a skulker besides.” “A ‘skulker!’ I can not interpret that But it soun !s bad, very bad; and so 1 am very so.ry, indeed. Mr. Black thorn, when you go back to your En glish or your Portuguese, and ask about Madame Krasinska. aus Poland, you shall hear a great deal, you shall hear her called spy, and adventuress, and — aid one thousand things. And some wll be true, and some will be lfei. But you shall tell them baek that if she loves one thing mo t above all, it is a foal who trusts and can not 1e if he tries. I would have made your fortune if you had let me; but I am glad you do not let me, because so I love you the more. Do not leave oil - being a fool—the next time a woman tel s you a story, believe, and believe, and believe. You will be light -some day.” She turned sharply from him, and said soni tiing to the Lieu enaut, of which he (ould not make out a single word. But it could scarcely have been complimentary either to his honesty, or to his patriotism, or to h's honor. For. instead of h's being put under arrest as a prisoner of vva , the oflicer clanked himself off and the guard turned in, leaving him alone with the lady and with tho sentry, who counted for noth ing. “Good-night, s'r,” sad she. “Ride off fa t -and if you keep tho river, you will reach Talavera sa'ely. You will lind your own people there —for to-day. But I won’t answer for what you may lind to-morruw —” “What—l am five? Are you in com mand? ’ “Of my own department—always. Good-night and remember all what l say.’’ He took his horse by the bridle, but could not help lingering. “1 hope,” sad he, “as you are in co nmand they’ll bury that poor fellow with h's ring.” She shook her head, shrugged her shoulders, and smiled. “Ah,” said she, “I see there is no need to tell you not to be a fool—no need at all.” FABLE THE SIXTH. ONE IS ENOUGH TO WAIT AND WOO, It was another sort of harvest that was over at Leys Cl’o.'t; and it had b ;en as ample in its own way; and prices ruled h : gh, ly reas ,n of the war. Everything ought to have been well with Farmer Biackthor ■, supposing farmers to be made for th > price of bread alone. Everything looked admir ably well, now that autumn and rest had come. All things except the farmer. The new life that had came to him some sixteen months ago had HicKered down again, and left lmn more broken than when he had just gone begging for a hundred pounds. As lie leaned over his yard ga’e in the sun, nob >dv would have known him for once hale and hearty Tom Biackthor.i, loud of voice an l carriage, and full of spirit and pride. It was not that he had grown older by full ten y ars, but (lie spirit seemed withered out of him. The genial laugh, instead of hardening, had changed into a feeble ter. of smile. There was plenty for him to tlo and to see after—poverty, at any ta e, was no longer a burden. Besides, poverty makes a man light; an l there was no more light to be” seen in Tom Black thorn’s face or shoulders or trembling hand-;. All the work he wa; doing was to lean over a gate, an l even that seemed too hard; all he was looking after was a drake with a do/.en ducks ia the pond, who were perfectly able to lo )k after themselves. But he got tired of even this occupa tion at last, full of fascination as it is, and slowly, very slowly, drew the gate open. Once it wou’d h ve been with a clatter and swing, so that all the place could tell when the master went out, and when he had come home. Before passing through it, he looked carefully up at every window of the house, and then round into every corner of the yard, and up and down the road, as if he were afraid of his movements being seen. * “ But I’ll be too sharp for ’em yet,” said he, with a chuckle. “Enoch Mar rish ain’t quite master yet; and t }l that happens 1’ 11 be my own. Not up to walking, am I? Well, they’ll see— they’ll sec. I’ll walk to tlie leeches; and tell ’em all about it at dinner-time. One would think En >ch took me for a child, or else a sixp nee that he’s a'raid to lose. Well, well; I mustn’t com plain. He’s a good farmer, for all he’s so near. But he’s not master yet —no, no. I can walk; and I’ll show ’em I will.” But he happily ha l something b t‘er than will, or ra'her wilfulnes , to help him-he still had the stick he used to swing and flourish. lie trie lto give it a flourish now, spOU as, often look'ng b‘hind hint, he had e eapod out of sight. But it was a failure; and ha was presently glad to have something strong to lean on liea\ ily. The beech s were the clump on the hill towards Ilunchester, over the r dge of which* Pat ence had watched in vain for her lover’s coming. It was not much of a walk for a man to scheme after craftily with a view to a boast; ami there was a good pith through the iie’ds all tiie way. Mo.eovcr, tiie walk was full of interest even to a practical man. There were the eo\ys; thepe were the fences. And for am m with the mem ories of a life bound up with every stop, there were ten thou and things. In that brook h o ha l caught not only his last trout, but h s lirst minnow. Alo lg this path lie ha l wa’ked every Sunday to church with his wife till he fol lowed her into the churchyard; and out of tiie ten thousand these were but two. And then he had inherited memories; for it had been Farmer Blaektho n of Leys Crofts from father to soa from bo fo.ethe memory of man. “Leave Leys Croft!” he mustered. “A goo l joke that; as if there could boa Leys Croft without a Blackthorn! When 1 leave it, at last, they'll have to change the name-yes, change tl.e name.” But. short and easy as the walk was, and varied with cows and memories, he was slouching yet more heavily on his stick by tiie time he reached the f tot of the slope; and he looked wearily at the beech clump that had sti.l to be gained. “It has got to be a long \vy —a very long wry, somehow,” mused he, “They must have been dong some thing to the path to make it longer, or shifted th i beaches farther away. Or may be they've been cutting some of the nearest down. 1 must see nbo t that when I get homo; and if any body's been up to mischief, and think uiy eye isu’t on 'em, they’ll find out who’s master still. No—l don't think lllgoup to the leeches t and ty. They won't run away; 111 do the le t another t me'--another t’me.” There was, to put the ease fully, an exceedingly low, broad and tempting stile on the path ar tho foot of the slope; an 1 res stance to impu'se had never been Tom Blackthorn’s strong point even in bis strongest days. IFs strength, or weakness, lay in sticking to the results of impulse whatever they nrght be. So he sat on the stile, and, having once 3 iel led, there he was con tent t > stay. Presently he began to want a p'pe—which he found in his pocket, and his tobacco, too But, alas! when the bowl was filled and wanted nothing but fire, he turned out his pockets for his tinder-box in vain. M li ons will sympathize with Tom Blackthorn; or at any rate so many as wll hear of him. What sorrow, after all, can be greater in its pathetic help lessness than that of a worn-out old man falling back upon his pipe, and, when it is at his very lips, deprived of its solace for the want of one little spark of flame? Poor old Tom had passed through a whole army of memories patiently. But now he was rea ty to cry. And then the sun was so warm on his bowed shoulders, and the air so crisply sweet, that the army he had passed through formed their ranks, and, led by that pipe of Tau tulus, came on. And he might have disarmed them with a whiff—it was cruel. But presently hope downed. A man was coming towards him from the di rection of Hunchester—a man might ha e a tinder-box and a tinder to spar s for charity. But “ might ” —he might not; and that would be the mockery of fate indeed. T.ie man came nearer. But no sooner was he full in view than lie began to turn sharp up the lex el path and move up the hill. Such a balk was not to be borne. The farmer put his hat on the end of his stick and waved it in the ar. “ Yo hoy!” he shouted; not with the lungs of old, but with some very effective re mains. And bis signal was seen. The man turned back, came to within half a do/.en yards of the stile, and looking at the farmer without speaking. “I want to light my pipe,” said Tom Blackthorn, in a rather querulous way. •• Have you got such a thing as a tinder box? 1 thought you were never going to hear. But ’tis strange how deaf eve y! ody’s growing. 1 suppose that’s xv at make i them all m inble so that nobody els? can hear ’em —all but my girl.” The man was one to whom Farmer BL ek liom would never have spoken in the old times save to drive him oil his land, if there ho had taught him, with lifted stick and hard words. For he was a tramp; and a tramp of vvhat was then held the worst and mo ;t danger ous so t of a tramp —a wandering sol dier. It was always the . old er tramp wiio was made answerable for the burned hayrick, and the farmer's xvife stopped and plun lered on her way from market, and for the entries into houses that stood a'one, and for the ex cesses of alehouse jollity. Considering what our soldiers were doing, it was amazing how grateful we all were to them whenever they chanoed to come homo. And., unhappily, they were often hard put to it to find an honest living, and so took, or returned to dishonest ones, while many a soldier who traded on his scars had never crossed salt water and had himself manufactured, his own stock-in-trade. So, after all, nobody was so very much to be blamed. Ull ler the circumstances, however, the tramp was not one whom a feeble and elderly m m with a good coat that had pockelg in it would care to meet alone in the fields in those rough times, ile was a sadly dilapidated tramp in the matter of ragged regimentals, and too stalwart and young to make it fitting that he should be out of work, if but a laborer’s. There was something pe culiar in bis look, too, as he looked on Fa mer Blackthorn without speaking a vvor 1. “Can’t you speak, man? Have you a tiiul r-box ay or no?” 'Fhe man’s hand made a dive some where, and brought out a battered tin box, once round in shape, that brought a sparkle into Tom Blackthorn’s eyes. “Thauk you, my good fellow. A frie.id ia need is a friend indeed.” He drew in the first smoke, all the sweeter for delay, and exhaled it with a grunt and a sigh. “So you're a soldier?” asked he. “I have been a soldier.” said the man. “Don’t you—don't von know who—” “Ah; I'm sharp enough. I thought so, by your clot es. A soldier— ah. Soldier’s a sad wo.d to me. But a proud one, too. ’ ’ Ho must have changed, in leed, to be sitting on a stile and chatting with a wandering soldier. So changed that he ha’f smiled in tiie other’s eyes, as if courting a question, so that he might have an exc.is; for chatting a little more. But, as no question came, he went on talk'ng rs much to himself as to his listener, as old men will when they turn garrulous and have no outlet in a common way. “Yes,” said he. “I had a boy a sol dier; but not a common one, Ike you. He was a sergeant! Think of that, my man—an ollicer, eh!” '‘Good Gcd!” exclaimed the tramp. “Why—” “Ah—l thought that would take your breath away, talking to a full sergeant’s father. Poor Dick! but he always was wildish; a bit ton much like ttie old block, I'm a‘raid, when the old block was new. Yes; a full sergeant was my boy Dick,” sa : d the old fellow, cough ing, as it might be witli the smoke, and rubbing his hand across his eyes. “And as Lrivo as a lion. But lie d.ed, sir, ho d'pd, You see my hat-baud? Tout’s for my son.’ 1 “Pied!’” “Ay. You may well wonder that it’s the worst that are left and the b >st that go. He was the best of sons; and boys will be l ovs. Did you ever hear of the battle of Talavera. my man—eh?” “Talavera —why, I was there!” “God bless my sou.! Man—give us your hand!' 1 “ Don’t you remember— ’* “Everything—everything. I'm won derful for memory. I remember things that happoue 1 when I was seven years old; ay, and before then. What makes you look so sad and queer? Dash it, you're a hero, if yon was there. So you was at Talavera, In Spain! May be —may be-I was his father, you know; may be you knew my boy? May be you saw him die?” # “Fanner Blackthorn—” “Ah, Blackthorn—the very name! Sergeant Blackthorn—Sergeant lliehard Blackthorn,” went on the old fellow, eagerly. “Yes, sir; ’twas at Talavera that my boy Dick, fighting like a glori ous lon for King George and Old En gland, died! Fit wager th- re wasn't a man before him. They teat me word from London how he'd gone down; and by Heaven, sir—l was the proudest— the proudest— Dash it all, man; did you never see a chap swallow his smoke the wrong way before, that you're star ing there like a—like—” • “This is terrible!” exclaimed the sol -3: or. “What am I to sayr Farmer Blackthorn, don't you rememb -r—” “Terrible, sir? Terrible? What do yon mean? 1 say it was glorious glorious! And he was ray only son.

A Certain Cure for Catarrh. Trim be, Tkn.w, Feb. 28, 1887. Gentlemen —For seven years 1 have lmd catarrh, Three years of that time I was unable to work. Fnfortunntely, early in my affliction my breath became very offensive. For seven years I could smell nothing, and 1 had no taste. How offensive my breath was all those seven years, I need not tell. What were my sufferings of mind at not being able to taste or smell anything, can be easily imagined. I was treated by physicians all during that time, and I tried numer ous medicines advertised. I bought one course of treatment I saw advertised for SIG that was not worth five cents. Lust spring a year ago a pamphlet from the Swift Specific Company came under my notice, and I determined to try the Spe cific. Fourteen small bottles completely cured me that spring and summer. Worked in the crop for the first time in four years, and 1 have been working •right along since without having the slightest return of catarrh. The won derful cure of me has been the means of bringing S. S. S. to the successful notice of many neighbors. I regard it as a wonderful blood purifier, and a certain cure of catarrh when given a fair trial. Yours truly, Sam. A. Coles. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
