Reader, are you Afflicted ?
And you wish to regain your health,
strength and energy of former years ? Do
any of the following symptoms meet your
distressed condition ? Do you feel nervous,
debilitated, fretful, timid, and lack the pow
ei- of will anil action ? Ar ■ your kidneys,
stomach or blood in a disordered condition ?
Do you suffer from rheumatism, neuralgia,
or aches and pains? Have you been indis
creet in early years, and find yourself bar
rassed with a multitude of gloomy
toms'* Are you subject to loss of memory,
have spells of fainting, fullness of blood in
the head, feel listless, moping, unfit for bus¬
iness or pleasure, amt subject to fits of mel¬
ancholy? Are you subject to any of the
following symptoms : restless nights, night
mare, palpitation of tin- heart, bashfulness
confusion of ideas, dizziness in the head,
dimness of sight Ac? Thousands of young
men, the middle-aged, and even the old
suffer from nervous debility. Thousands
of females, too, are broken down in health
and spirits from disorders peculiar to their
sex, and who, from false modesty or neglect
ther prolong their sufferings. Why then fur
neglegt a subject of such vital impor¬
tance when the remedy can bt; so easily

Remember Tliy Mother.
Land thy mother gently
Down life’s steep decline ;
Once her anus was tliy support.
Now she leans on thine.
See upon Iter lov ing face
Those deep lines of care :
Think—it was her toil for thee
Left that record there.
Ne’er forget her tireless watch,
Taking Kept by day ami night.
from her step the grace,
From her eye the light.
Cherish well her faithful heart,
IVhieh, through weary years,
Echoed with its sympathy,
All tliy smiles and tears.
Thank God for thy mother's love,
Guard the priceless boon 1,
For the bitter parting hour
Cometh all too soon.
When thy grateful tenderness
Loses will power to save, ’
Earth hold no dearer spot
Than thy mother’s grave !
Miscellaneous.
THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS.
“Of all things, a night journey is the
most tedious,” said Clarence Hatfleld,
as he let himself fall heavily Into tbe
stiff and uncomfortable seat of the rail¬
way, car, with the faded velvet cushions,
and its back at exactly the wrong angle
for aught approaching the luxury of a
nap. “I say, Clifton, do you think we
might smoke ?”
“Well, I rather imagine not,” said I,
with a motion of my head toward tilt
other passengers,
“There appear to be ladies oti board.”
Hatfield shrugged his shoulders.
“Such ladies I”
“Well” laughed I, “they don’t appear
to be particularly stylish in manners or
costume, but nevertheless, my dear fel¬
low, the divinity of their sex hedges
them around like a wall. ”
........——
interrupted . Hatfleld. “As if these
ba!fdre83ed dowdies, with babies and
band-boxes, could possibly belong to the
same world with Beatrice Hale !”
To this f made-no answer. It did not

For l 0 ^ I was '■« unmistakably unmistakably mlovew in love with t i Bee Bee
Hale and so was Clarence Hatfleld.

reams of paper in trying to describe her
manifold charms and excellencies to the
reader eauei, it it wouldn’t wouiun t do uo any anv good goou Such Hiicn
things have been tried before and failed,
Let fiini imagine the fainest brunette
that the sun ever shone on and he may J
come somewhere , near the mark Suffice
it to say that she was as beautiful as a
dream, and that llatheld and I were
both slaves at her feeD.

thing like the children’s old game of see

times I fancied I had the ghost of a

straha'atonce ^ ^ ^
“Hello!” cried Hatfield, breaking
unceremoniously in upon the thread
of my musings, “there goes the whistle,
We shall be off directly. Thank good
ness for that 1”
And he put up his feet on the opposite
seat, and prepared for as comfortable a
four hours’ride as possible.

methods of doing such things.
It bad been a dismal “ business. No
vember , is not . an inspiring month at the
aga,nst tbe success of Mount rr* Morra
Park, as Jenkins Jiimiwq-ton A Co. had
christened their new speculation. Yet,
............ reason.blj- „r„
now tlia lkful to get back to New York.
As the train gave its starting lunge,
tha door Hew open, and in came a tall
old lady, in a pro-ligious black bonnet
and a fur cloak, surrounded by a perfect
cheaveaux de frise of squirrel nareelsTw cages,
leather iiduici bags brown mown miner paper parcels ana
sandwich-boxes. She was followed
closely by a younger lady, dressed in
black macx and ana closelv closely veiled veiled,*nd .and t,anted paused hes hes
ltatingly in front of our seat.
“Young 8 man,” ’ said ' she ’ in a low w
. gruff _ that .. of ,
voice as as a man, “is this
seat engaged ?”
::^r„ No matter r "17, what for,” .. superciliously
replied the head clerk of Jenkins. Jem
perton * Co ' “«««« to pass on. old
lady. You’ll find seats enough beyond.”
* ut this was a stretching of the truth,
nere were no seats beyond, as tlie old
lady could easily perceive, unless she
chose to stt directly opposite a red hot
coal fire, or upon one of those corner
arrangements close to the door, which
are equtv alent to no seat at all.
Ihe.ild lady hesitated and changed
aLt.|.l good Awnt C «K. 1 oily ba at f,Xr«^ home and my^nvn rose at
once - »
Pray 5 take this seat, ma'am, said I.
^ Ana **t Die put your parcels up in the

”CMW what a fool you are!” cried
S ' t by r e C-V' jouldii’t i a, ‘ you ,rapatie have “ t sat sotto still voice. and

“It ib nay own business.” 1 answered
brusquely, “to see that every lady is made
as comfortable as it is iu the nature
of tbbjgs to be. Now the squirrel
cage, ma’am—-it’ll go very comfortably
under the seat, I think.”
Ilarttield uttered a contemptuous
grunt, but he never offered to take his
feet Atom off the opposite cushions,
although the aisle, the younger woman stood in
uncomfortably swaying back¬
ward and forward with the motion of
the t ain, until a woman beyond,
observing the state of affairs, drew a
sleeping child into her lap and beckoned
the Of’ *er to take the place thus vacated.
By 1 his time the old lady had estab¬
lished herself to her entire satisfaction,
and op 'tied her sandwich box.
“M ,h obliged to you, young man,”

And to this day, I believe that is the
way I won my wife ; for Clarence Hat

[Vkineto Letter to the Bouton Ileratd. ]
Like the pyramids of Egypt the great

not closed in the same almost impene
treble veil of uncertainty. As useless
as the immense work must now appear
for th« putpose for which it originated,
or inadequate as it is to stand the assault
of modern arms, or defy the advancing
step of an intruder, it is still the greatest
fortification ever built by man, and for
l,40t) years it wliol y, or in part, served
its purpose. And why, now, we may
ask, was this long rampart thrown along
the northern boundary of China? For
an answer we must go back over the
long centuries in which, With glootny
strength, it has watched the rise afid
fall of kingdoms, strifes the conversion of
dynasties, the and wars of opp„ s -
