Turn to the right medicine, if you’re a weak or ailing woman. It’a Dr. Pierce’* Favorite Prescription. If you’re overworked or “ run-down,” it build* you up; if you’re afflicted with any of the distressing derangement* and dis orders peculiar to your sex, it relieves and cures. It improves digestion, invigorates the system, enriches the blood, dispels aches and pains, melancholy and nervous ness, produces refreshing sleep, and restores flesh and strength. In the ■cure of all functional disturbances, weaknesses, and irregularities, it’s guaranteed to give satisfaction, or the. money is refunded. It does .all that’s claimed for it, or it ■couldn't be sold in this way. It is a legitimate _ medicine—not a beverage. Contains no alcohol to inebriate; no syrup or sugar to -sour or ferment in tho stomach and •cause distress. As peculiar in its marvelous, remedial results as in its composition. GEO-D.

The red twilight of August had failed, and a sea breeze was rattling at the shutters before be came in, looking warm and agitated. Seeing him roused out of his usual caltu excited our curiosity, but we asked no questions till bo had eateu and refreshed himself. Then we gathered around him. "I hare had a most unpleasant adven ture," he said in his solemn wuy. “I have been chased by a hawk.” Now, if a child of six had made that remark it would have been touching, bnt for a broad shouldered person of any number of feet to announce that lie was afraid of hawks was too innch for our sense of, humor—we langhed. “What did yon do?" asked the inquisitive member of our bonso party, “f clapped iny hands and shouted,” said Mr. Rogers, “but the hawk didn't mind at all: it kept circling round my head and swooping down” We reasoned with him. We said it was physically impossible for a hawk to fly away with him. We told him the next lime a hawk chased him to fall flat npou his face and call for help. We suggested that a plump lr juito hud caused his alarm. All ill vain. He lis tened withont emotion, and fixing his eye on me as the most obtrusively merry person present, said, “Wait till a luiwk is after you: yon won’t like it.” AN EVENING WALK. The meaning in his words came to me • fow days later. We had been bathing in Pecouic bay. We staid there, splash ing and swimming, till the blue water turned gruy and the sun went down in a red smudge. Then suddenly we all felt an overpowering desire to get ont of our clammy bathing salts and home to tea as fast os passible. 1 decided to walk. 1 was cold; besides I rather wanted to get away from the noisy crowd. So the house party packed itself into the wagonette and quickly disappeared down the winding road, leaving me to cut across the hills alone. (Funny with whnt alacrity peopleiwlio nre really fond of you leave yon behind.) I felt very much alone somehow, and I almost wished i had gone with them. Our house is only a mile from the Pecouic beach oh a level -line, hut as the Shinne- cock hills are like so many green dump lings one's progress is very upand downy, and a mile may he twisted into astonish ing lengths. I struck across the fern scented hills at a rapid pace, one moment on top of a mountain range, with a view of the two bays, the next down in a hollow with only buy bashes fora horizon. Istopped in a sort of cup to watch the coming night. The earth sent up a warm, sweet smell; little stars began to twinkle as though pricked into the sky. Some thing dark started up under my feet— my shadow, for the moon had risen. t‘It is nice to be alone sometimes,” 1 thought One can’t be intimate with nature when crowds of people nre about. I feel now thnt I nm lying on her bosom” Whirr-rl from the sky. Then two short sounds like the flapping of a wet towel. DISCRETION AND VALOR. 1 looked up. Right over my head, poised us neatly us the sword of Dnmo- cles, was a hawk. It looked quite stu- tionury, hut I remembered Mr. Rogers’ words, and I felt hold. “The thing doesn't seem inclined to swoop,” 1 thought. Then 1 started up a hill, with my nose pointed at the hawk. Just as I reached the top it gave two flaps and swooped. 1 clapped tny hands. Where- open the bird circled and dropped a few feet. “I won’t encourage it by looking at it,” and I walked into the next hollow in a dignified manner. Then I looked. That.bmteof a bird was hovering in an expectant attitude. As it caught tny glance it began to circle; it circled till 1 grew dizzy; then it gave a cry of triumph and swooped. That action demoralized me; it tamed the hawk into a roc and me inEb a pygmy. With one “Shoot” of despair, I threw manhood and self respect to the winds, I ran. I ran ns hard as 1 could, up hill and down. Brambles caught at me; blackberry vinee clasped my ankles; but once mounted on terror nothing could ■top me. My white flanneled figure ■hone out in the moonlight, adding zest to tbs hawk’s attacks. On we raced, swooping, running, dodging, bnt never stopping till the friendly lights from the house streamed out to meet us. Then the hawk, with a long cry of scorn, sailed away to the pine woods in the west. The house party was on the piazza as loams up. “Glorious walk,” I cried. “Ran half the way. Finest sport in the world after bathingl” Mr. Rogers fol lowed me into the boose. “It’s awful when it swoops, isn’t itT he said, with a cruel look in his brown eyes.—New York Pott. COUNTY DIRECTORY.
