A PERFECT CURE.
“It's no 118 U talkin' -there I Between
<;m both they’re jilag’m’ my life out o’
me. A perfect Killy add Cliiinrbodioe,
and I’m kept bobbin’, iu sparit, frog*. one
hr t'other nil the time. Why don’t you
any somethin’, David ? And Aunt Ut‘l>-
sey squarod herself around, hand* on l.er
hips, and flared fiercely t him.
llnele David Said nothing. Perhaps
because he did not understand exactly who
or what a “Killy and Ohnry-bodiee” might
be, and wisely concluded to steei“olettr of
whoals. The irate old ludy went on:
“There’s John Bramer, too, settin’
there all day by the tire, doin’ nothin’
but pore over n little mite of a doutorin’
Book—‘Home-patlice' he calls it —and
talus specks of pills not biggern' a pin
head; jest ns it they could do anybody
nuy good !"- and the old lady glared U|>
into the uir a if there was a mas up
there anil she expected him to controvert
this covert condemnation, and was pre
pared to knock him out of time immedi
ately if he did. Finding that no answer
made its appearance, however, she looked
down upon the placid Uncle David and
continued:
••You needn’t tell me, David; a’poaen
he is your old friend’s son, an’ is rich,
an’ pays well for his board. That ain’t no
reason why he should sit down an’ give
himself up to notions, an make up bis
mind lie’s got cancers on liis liver an'
foom-biies hi his stomach, an’ I don't
Si now what ailiu’ him besides. ’Taint
nothin’ the matter with him but imagina
tion, l believe, an’ if he was told of it
’twonid do him more good'n all his home
pttthee, I know. He’s jist as well as 1
am. Dispepee I uinph ! what business lias
a strong young feller like him got to
have nerves anyway ? An’ then he won’t
toko nothin to do him any good. I fixed
him up a nice bowl of boneset tea, an’ lie
wouldn’t take it, but swallercd an extra
dose of them little pills inste'd.” And
being now pretty well out of breath
Aunt Hepsey rested her case and fixed her
eyes upon the clouds, as though giving
her opponent in the air one more chance
to come to time. Undo David, taking
advantage of the pause, cut in ahead and
nuid:
“Now, Hisjwoy, don’t be so hard on the
young BUtti. 1 guess ho' sick, and we
ought to have more charity" (dear old
Uncle David; just us if ho did not have
hunity for everybody)—“for him than we
do. You know ho ain't got no mother,
uor no father, nor no friend, anyway
leastwise,” the old gentleman added,
thoughtfully, as ho rubbed the end of
his uose- a trick 1m lmd -“leastwise none
that will do him any good; plenty of them
wild fellers lie knows —too many of ’em
for his good.”
“What is the man talking about ?" in
terrupted Aunt Hepsey, apparently much
iuceused at her failure to extract a reply
•from the clouds. "It's mor’n two year
siliee he’s been with any of 'them w ild
oat chaps, an’ it’s my opinion that if he’d
kept away from ’em in the tlrst place he’d
a been tough now, iuste'd of havin’ to
take so many of them littlo pills to brace
him up. Urnph 1 the idee of them things
a bracin’ anybody up !”
By the glances she oast heavenward, it
was evident the gpod lady was firmly per
suaded this would fetch the answer she
expected if anything would, and, figu
ratively speaking, she prepared to leave
it not a leg to stand on. Uncle David
rublied his nose slowly and said nothing.
“There’s Kate, too. When we took
her in an’ adopted her, an' made as much
of her as if she was our own dead baby
come to life”—a tear here glistened in the
old lady’s eye —“wo expected she wouldu t
make us no trouble nor nothin’. Now
look at her, I Bay, coming home from
church only last night and that Tom Jones
with her; he wearin’ a mustache, too, and
his father a deacon in the church.
This last seemed particularly dreadful to
Aunt llepsey. Uncle David calmly
smoked his pipe, rubbed his nose, uml,
somehow, didn’t seem at ull horrified.
“There, there, Hcpsy, don’t* ”
“That’s jist like you, David Cummings;
you wouldn’t fret if earth should cave
in. Next you know, that gal will be u-git
tiu’ married; gals are so foolish nowadays I
they Ain’t know what they want or what’s
good for’em, neither.”
“’Bout the same as they used to be, Hep
jist about the same, lor what 1 see.
Better let ’em alone, so’ it’ll Como out
straight, I guess;” and Uncle David went
•iff to the bant to see to things, while Aunt
Hepsey went into the house, first looking
carefully around to sou if that answer was
iu sight any where.
She was far from being in as calm a
frame of mind as Uncle David about both
John and Kate. The former worried her
with endless new diseases he was just go
ing to have, and endless new medicines lie i
was just taking to cure them; homoeopathic
medicines too, which she couldn’t see any ;
sense or use in. The latter troubled her '
far more iu the fear oilier getting married,
and especially to that “Torn Jones with a
mustache." ‘Aunt Hepsey wanted her to
stay with them always, or at auy rate until
someone came along good enough for her;
and as no man was ever made who could
come up to he rigid standard, that and
staying always meant the same thing.
Kate was very pretty, and of course had
many admirers, which kept the good old
ladv in a perpetual fever of false alarms.
Jhst as Aunt Hepsey sat down to her
newiug John oaiue iu; and a handsome fel
low law was too, or would have been if he
were not wrapped and muffled to the
last degree for a warm autumn day. He
seated himself by the fire with a groan.
“Whut’s the matter ?” rather sharply
asked Aunt Hepsey, veins although the
kindest woman in tiie world at heart, had
a way of speaking that made her seem
other ways.
“I’m afraid I'm going to have typhoid,
s ile-iiui/r V-icd the invalid.
“What makes von think so ?”
"I felt a cold chill run up my back just
no*, ami that’s one of the symptoms,”
groaned J 1 i.
“One of the fiddlesticks I” snorted the
ol 1 lady. "1 haie them any time.”
“i'lii afrud I've got it,” won the lugu
brious reply. “My heart disease is worse
to-: lay, too; it thumped quite hard as I
came up the hill. Just hand me that bot
tle. ,f pills.”
The pills were handed with an indignant
jerk, and the sewing resumed. After a
p -use the siek man went on:
“I am quite confident my cancer is
growing rapidly; 1 have had five diatimt
pains iu my liver this afternoon, and three
this morning -an increase of two, you see;
and there is no doubt my stomach is dis
eased post, all help. I have had no appe
tite all day (only eight buckwheat cakes
that morning); probably inflammation is
about to sot in. Bums me the bottle of
aconite, 1 um a little feverish."
The aconite went across with a sniff.
“I don't know but I shull have the
lockjaw; they have felt Very 'strangely all
day.”
Another j ause.
“Don’t you think we’d better have a
little more tire ? My neuralgia bus been
threatening all the morning.’”
Aunt Hepsey said nothing ns she put on
more wood, but from the way she looked
at the chimney it was evident she thought
that answer might come down it.
During this conversation, was a sample
of what took place every day, Kate had
come up and seated herself in the buck
door which Aunt Hepsey would have
open in pleasant weather, neuralg it or no
neuralgia. While listening she had been
thinking, John Brumer -or cousin John,
as she always call and him- was a handsome
fellow, and, outside of his many diseases,
a tiptop fellow; and suney Kate thought
more of him than she wished to think of
one in such n deplorable condition. Hence
she retolvtd that ns she couldn’t be cured,
Jolfn must. Hho bad always been a
kind nurse to him, humoring uil his whims
and crotonets, and taking the bust of cure
of him.
“I am sure, mother” - she always called
Aunt Hepsey mother -“that Cousin John
looks very badly, mid ought to have med
ical attendance ut once; but as the doctor
is not near enough to be of service we
must, do our best to save him,” —and she
felt his pulse with her very little finger,
and pursed up her lips and looked very
wise indeed.
John began to look alarmed at this cor
roboration of bis own gloomy fears.
“He must have a dose of composition at
once, a bot tle of hot water put to his feet,
and of course must go to bed immedi
tt’.ely. ”
John would have demurred to this part
of the arrangement, hut she did not give
him time.
“Typhoid is very plenty around juit
now, anil no doubt he is going to have all
attack; nearly every case fatal, too,” she
added musingly to herself.
John was now in a cold perspiration of
anxiety at the way site treated the matter.
“I—l—you never—you don’t really
think so, do you ? I- 1 think lam feel
ing a little lietter,” stammered he; but
Kate extinguished him at once.
“Nonsense, yon are worse; much worse;
yon change every minute. You must go
to bod at once;" and us he really grew
pule, she said, as though thinking aloud—
“l’robablv won’t bo delirious for some
hours yet;” which had the effect of using
him up completely.
For three days she kept him a close
prisoner iu bed, curtains close drawn ; in
structing Aunt Hopsey, who attended him,
to keep plenty of good warm blankets
piled upon liirn, and make him drink
plenty of hot popper-tea and such things;
which things, combined with his nervous
fears, kept him iu a continual state of
perspiration, and were, taken on the
| whole, considerably worse to endure than
i the fever would have been. During that
■ time she invited in some of her young
! friends and made the house ring with fuu;
all of which m:ulo the sick room seem
doubly tedious. Then she allowed him to
! come down stairs, looking very pale and
weak and “blencky.”
“How do you feel to-day, Cousin?”
asked Kate, looking fresh and rosy herself
as could be.
“I feel very weak; the room has been
rather close and warm.” Which was very
true; Aunt Hepsey having, metaphorically
speaking, given good measure; saying
nothing, but looking as though the ques
tion lmd been somehow answered. “Don’t
you think a little turn outside ill the air
would do me good ?”
“Mercy! no. Wlmt an idea ! and Kate
looked horrified. “Kit down hero by the
tire, instantly, and be covered up; and
three largo warm shawls were wrapped
and piled around him that warm autumn
day. The heat, and something she said
in a low tone to her mother about “Poor
fellow, 1 am afraid the cancer is grow ing
again, and how luekv it is that father
bought the cemetery lot. so soon, made
him the source of a vast number of little
rivers of perspiration immediately.
For three weeks Kate would not allow
poor John to venture near an open win
dow or look out of the door, but contin
ued the first treatment; and then slio de
clared the fever vanquished, lint as she
had discovered meantime about five hun
dred new diseases fastened upon him, lie
did not find much relief iu the victory.
In fact, losing sick under bis own treatment
and under hors were two different things.
Every day she prescribed some bitter and
disagreeable dose to cure anew malady
she had perceived coming on. His pleas
ant walks were all done away with, too;
lie being too weak and ill, she said, to ven
ture out. All of which afforded the old
ludy unbounded satisfaction and delight.
One night Kate came iu and, seating
herself beside John, who sat alone iu the
room, said:
“Cousin John, of course you are my
friend, and will advise me for the best, and
I want some good advice just. now. I—l
think, John, of getting married. Though
she looked blnshingly in the fire ns she
spoke, she observed him very narrowly
out of the corner of her eye.
"What !” shouted the invalid, starting
up and looking, in his heavy wrappings,
like a clumsy pattern of mummy
“What 1"
"Oh, dear me, cousin, you must not get
so excited. Rememberyohr heart-disease,
1 beg;" snd Kate pushed him into his
chair as she spoke. Ho groaned as ho sat
down again.
“Are you sure you are quite calm again ?
she asked; because if not 1 must go on,
you know.”
“Yes, yes,” replied the invalid: “quite
so. Go on, goon.” But though it was
quite evident he was not quite so, she
continued:
“You see, cousin,"l’ve had an offer—
and I think I may say a good offer —a
very good one indeed.” Hero John
winced, but she went on: “1 don’t know
but I may be considered rather young to
marry just now—don’t you think yourself,
Jxihfi, I am rather young V”
“Much too young—out of the question
entirely," gasped the aiek man, who was
evidently suffering an attack of that neu
ralgia, or something; for his brows were
much contracted and his teeth were set
very tight.
“I knew you would think so, and I told
| Tom ”
“What 1" roared the feeble sufferer, in a
tone that indicated, whatever else might
L be the matter with him, hit lungs were ull
light. “What! Tom Jones! You never
can mean that fellow. Tom Jones 1 I’ll
I’ll—strangle him immediately. Tom
Jones, indeed 1” And the shawls flew
across the room ns if there were a shower
of that article in full Idast, while the lately
unhappy wearer snorted derision at the
idea of that fellow ,
‘ Jh, dear ! oh, dear ! what shall I do
with him ? Please, Cousin John, do think
of your heart-disease. Here, take some
aconite; you are feverish." Aud she
passed the vial towards him.
“Pills lie-hanged, and heart disease too 1
jerked out the excited young man, striding
up and down the room like a madman.
“Do you suppose I am going to stand by
and see you throw yourself away on such
a fellow as that ?
“I’m sure I dont see why you should
care anything about it, said Kate, de
murely, still looking into the fire and ner
vously toying witi. the bottle of aconite.
“But I do care a great deal about it,
Raid John, grinding his teeth and stamp
ing up and down, utterly oblivious of his
cancer and stomach, and everything in
fact but Tom Jones and the girl before
him. “Kate, I want, you myself !
“Why, John, what an idea !” But the
idea neetni and to please her no wi bst. C lit g
“llow cun you think of such things iu
your fertile health, when yon are so near
the tomb, as you yourself told me only
yesterday V”
“Tombs be—well, hanged again,” quoth
the irate John. “I’ve changed my mind
about that. I guess I haven’t got a cancer
after all.” And he couldn’t help looking
a little sheepish as lie made the confession.
If you’ll only love me. Kate, and leave that
detestable Jones, I am quite positive I
shall lie all right again. Will you, Katie?”
J don’t know whether it was liis pleading
voice, or because his arms around her
made her feel faint and took her will away,
or whether sho feared the excitement if
she said no might bring on liis heart
disease; certain it is she did not say it, hut
leaned right down on his shoulder, ami he
kissed her right on the mouth, and got
caught at it, too, by Aunt Hepsey, who
was just coming in.
“Mercy me ejaculated that horrified fe
male, clasping her hands and looking very
hard nt the ceiling for an explanation of
this extraordinary proceeding. “Mercy
me.
A statement of the case from them both
at. once soothed the good lady’s outraged
feelings end made her qu t > contented with
the state of affairs; for ns she afterwards
observed to Uncle David: “John Brumer
ain’t good enuff for our Kate, but lie’s
enu I site better than that ‘Tom
Jones with a muitnelie, —i nl, sho added,
his father a Deacon in the church too.
Uncle David found a lot o broken (las:
and pills strewing the ground out behind
the barn next day, but rubbed his nose
and said nothing; ami from tin- day of the
engagement John was ns well as anybody.
K ite s treatment doubtless cured him. It
turuisl out that Tom Jones wnsn t iu love
with her at. all, but was just as full of fun,

concocted.

somehow never came- and did not reply.—

The Efficacy of Prayer.
The Gilded Age tells how Uncle Dnn’l
ami the cliil’n first saw a Mississippi
steamboat. They were sitting in it row on
a log in a warm evenihg telling about
spooks, after the manner of southwestern
negroes, when Uncle Dan’l said impress
ively, “Chil’n, dars sumfiii a cornin’.” A
j deep coughing sound troubled the still
! ness, away toward a woodisl cape that jnt
' ted into the stream a mile distant. All
i in an instant a fierce eye of fire shot out
j from behind the cape and sent a long,
brilliant pathway quivering athwart the
dusky water. The coughing grew louder
i and louder, the glaring eye grew larger
| and still larger, glared wilder nml still
wilder. A huge shape developed itself out
<>f the gloom, and from its tall duplicate
horns dense volumes of sn oke, starred
and spangled with sparks, poured out and
went tumbling away into the farther dark
ness. Nearer and nearer the thing came,
till its long sides began to glow with spots
of light which mirrored t’leiusclv s in the
river and attended the monster like a
torchlight procession, “Chil’n,” said
Uncle Dun’l, “it’s ile Almighty. Git down
on yo’ knees.” As the noise and the
lights drew nearer Uncle Dan’l prayed.
“O Lord, we’s ben mighty wicked, an’ we
knows dat we ’zerve to go to de bad
place,' but good Lord, deah Lord, we ain’t
ready yit, we aint ready—let dese po’
chil’en bad but. one mo’ chance, jes one
mo’ chance. Take de ole niggali if you’s
got to had somebody. Good Lord, good
deali Lord, we don’t know whali you’s
agwyne to, we don’t) know who yon’s got
yo’eye on,’ we knows by de way yon’s a
tiltin along in 3 o’ oharyot o’ fiali dat some
po’ sinners gwyne to ketch it. But, good
Lord, dese cliil’en don’t b’’ong hoah, day's
f'm Obedstowu whah dey don’t, know nuf
fin, an’ yon knows, vo’ own self, dat dey
ain’t ’sponsible, Oh Lord, spah de little
o’lil’n, o I’t-tar de littl i chil’en f’m da f ri rsl
jes’ let ’em off jes disonce, an’ take it oi t’u
de 010 niggali. Heah T is, Lord, lieah I
is ' Do ole niggah’s ready, Lord, de ole—.”
Here the steamer’s whistle screeched fairly
iu the face of the awe struck group, and
uncle Dan’l seizing as many of the ehil’n’s
hands as his own brawny ones would hold,
scoured off toward tin' woods. Looking
back they saw that the boat was rounding
a point out of sight. "Well,” said the re
lieved uncle Dnu’l, “deres somo folks dat
say dey ain’t no 'ficiency in prah. Dis
chile would like to know whah we'd a been
if it warnt fo’ dat prah. Dat’s it, dats
it.”
A Disheartened Insurance Agent.
A family named Kemper moved into a
house in our row last week, writes Max
Adder, and Benjamin P. Gunn, the life
insurance agent, who lives in the same row
was the first caller. He dropped in to see
if he could not take out a policy for Mr.
Kemper. Mrs. Kemper came down to the
parlor to see him.
“I suppose," said Gunn, "that Mr.
Kemper Ims no insurance on his life.”
“No.” said Mrs Kemper.
“Well, I’d like to get him to take out a
policy in our company. It’s the safest iu
the world, the largest capital, smallest
rates and biggest dividends."
“Mr. Kemper don’t take much interest
in such things now,” said Mrs. lv.
“Well, madam, but he ought to, in
common justice to you. No man knows
when he will die, and by paying a ridicu
lously small sum now, Mr. Kemper can
leave bis family in affluence. I'd like to
hand you, for him, a few pamphlets con
taining statistics upon the subject; may
I?”
Of course, if you wish to.’’
“Don’t you think he can be induced to
insure ?" asked Gunn.
"I hardly think so,” replied Mrs. Kem
per.
“He is iu good health, I suppose?
Has he complained lately of being sick ?”
"Not lately."
“May I ask if he has any considerable
wealth ?”
“Not a cent. "
“Then of course he must insure. No
poor man can afford to neglect such an
opportunity. I suppose he travels some
times; goes about in railroad curs and
other datigerons places.”
“No, he keeps very quiet.”
“Man of steady babbits, I ’spose ?"
“Very steady."
“He is just the very man I want,” said
Ounu, “I know I can sell him a policy,”
“I don’t think yon cun,” replied Mrs.
Kemper.
“Why ? When will he be home ? I’ll
call on him. I doh’t know any reason
why I shouldn’t insure him.”
“I know,” replied Mrs. K.
“Why ?”
“He has been dead 27 years 1” said the
widow. Then Gunn left all of a sudden.
He will not insure any of the Kempers.
