THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA., TUESDAY MAY 1 011867
TO
Why You Fee!
So weak and exhausted Is because you?
, blood Is impure. As well expect tho
sanitary condition of a city to be per*
feet with defiled water and defective
sewerage, as to expect such a compli
cated piece of mechanism as the human
frame to be in good order with impure
blood circulating even to its minutest
veins. Do you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons of blopd
passes through the heart and lungs in
about two and a half minutes; and that,
on Its way, it makes bone and muscle,
brain and nerve, and nil the other solids
and fluids of the body? The blood iff
the great nourishcr, or, os the Bible
terms it, i
“The Life of the Body.”
la It any wonder, then, that if tho Mood
be not pure and perfect in its consti*
tuents, you suffer so many indescribable
symptoms ?
Ayer's Sarsaparilla stands "head and
shoulders" above every* other Alter
ative and Blood Medicine. As proof,
read these reliable testimonies:
G. C. Brock, of Lowell, Mass., sayst
"For the past 25 years I have sold
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. In my opinion,
the best remedial agencies for the euro.
of all the diseases arising from impuri
ties of the blood are contained in thif
medicine."
Eugene I. Hill, M. D., 881 Sixth Ave.,
New York, says: "As a blood-purifier
and general builder-up of the system, I
have never found anything to equal
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It gives perfect
satisfaction.”
Ayer's Sarsaparilla proves equally
efficacious in all forms of Scrofula,
Boils, Carbuncles, Eczema, Humors,
Lumbago, Catarrh, &c.; aud is, there
fore, the very best
Spring and Family Medicine
in use. “ It beats all," says Mr. Cutler,
of Cutler Brothers & Co., Boston, “ how
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
doe, sell.” Prepared by

When I travel I get loneeome end homesick
I would liko to bavo .bout threo girls .nd
tbrro boys to travel with mo. They would en
tertain mo ud I would toko cite of thorn, nod
wo would hire tho belt kind of a time. If I
w.i rich I would tato my wife ud children
every 11mA If I look it mountain* end rivere
end villeye ud the ocean ud Mg ehips It Is a
melancholy pleasure just because I am .lotto.
But children don't always behave when away
from homo ud that apolls every thing. Sumo
children behave worso when oompsuy comes
than any other time. I law a lady get ou the
train at I went to Atluta. She had three chil
dren with her ud thQ boy wanted a seat next
to the window to that ho could look out, but
hie mother wouldn’t let him and he aet up a
whine and kept it up to her mortldcatloo. Sho
endured it awhile and then eeld, “I told yon
before wo atarted that yen would do exactly
that way,” ud ahe grabbed him forioualy aud
alapptd him right and left udmiutedjhim bed,
ud we had a regular battlo for awhilj
Well thatwaa bad, very bad, bad on both
aldea, ud when I oxpreaaed my sympathy for
tho boy end told Uark Hardin that It was
the best pert of tho ride to look ont of tho win

Cram a place where there are six under ton
yeara, and their poor mother hu to cook for
them and bow for them and worry with them
all day ud part of the night, ud I loikod
at her and watched her until I had liked to
have cried. Iam lorry for thorn, I am, ud
they don’t get half the sympathy they are en
titled to.” “rhat'e so. exactly so,”
•aid I, “bnt if the mother of
tbliboy had have duo more whipping at
home aco wonld have lets to do on tne can.”
“Oh they don't wut to whip them at all,” said
Mark, "and ibe wouldn't havo whipped him
here if we hadn’t bun abonL These mothers
ere long suffering ud have a hirdllfo, bnt
that is their nature, and I reckon it is ell right
or it wouldn’t have bun so.”
That night I wut to the opera houu to hoar
the orators of the uti-coe rolon muting, ud I
tell yon they made the blood tloglo and the
tnrkry bumps rise as they talked about tho
wrongs of Ireland. I got utbnalaatlc myself
and felt liko fighting, and when I eimo away
and told an old blond abont it ho smiled and
said: “Well, I’m not botherln myself about
matters ao far away. Them Irish are a very
Mover people, I know, bnt when wo wu being
coerced down bora thoy didn’t bother thorn-
■elves abdut ns. And be tides, I reckon there
are two sidu to thla question, for old Eogland
las mighty aolid .ovaramontud la generally
right. She studs mighty high among tho na
tions of tho earth. There are two stdos, I
reckon—two aldea,” ud ho left mo bewildered.
Tho next morning I took tho care for Nor
folk, ud it wu a long, hot ud duty
ride. I bought some papers of
tho newsboy and read everything in them,
oven to the advertisements. When I got to
Dr. Talmago’a last sermon I stopped at that
graph where he says that modern litora
ls the curae or tho age, and that ninety-
nine ont of every one hundred hooka that were
printed ought to bo burned, ud It wonld make
a bonfire whose flames wonld reach to heaven;
that yon could hardly find a moral tnatrnetlvo
book in any book itore or on any parlor tablo

Allegory, ud all the migraines.
Well, now, tbit le not snob a bad assort
ment. I think it to much better then the av
enge. Folks don't yant to be reading roll,
gloue books all the time. Why, tho young
lo moat have a little romance to mix along
tho solid mental food. Our children are
born with a love of itories—romantic
stories—wonderful stories. The Arabian
Nights ud Baron Honshatuen and Haas
Christian Anderfon an all nnnal and tho big
gest tort of lies, bnt they do no harm. £ .op's
fables are Ilea, but they teach the beet kind of
morality. Our earliest delights were In gotiing
around tho heartbatono at night ud listening
to the marvels ud fictions that onr parent!
told us. How often did wo slip out quietly to
tho old negroes’cabin of a winter night ud
heu them tell of ghosts ud witches and Jack
o’ lanterns and grave yards ud raw head ud
bloody bones.
I think that Dr. Talmsgs to too hard upon
ou literature, for there to a groat
deal that to good ud a great deal more
that to not corrupting. Bnt still we all lament
tho flood of bad hooks and bad newspapers in
tbolud. The press has a wonderful power

HOW TO TELL THE WIDOW,
lire. Pike Baldwin's Violence on Hearing
that Pike wu Drowned.
Hour Cexxk, Honk, April 25.—Tho lm-
portuce of breaking new* gently In this see
tlon of the country wu well Illustrated here i
few days sgo, when Du Kel
went op to inform Mrs Pike
was a I widow. Pike bid Men up tho crook
with seine of tho boys, and tho boat beoomlng
unmanageable In the high water, ho ud the
others had been thrown ont All got whore
except Pike, but it wu a bard job. The cur
rent wu very swift, and it Is thought that he wu
probably thrown against a rock ud injured.
Dave Kelly camo dong Juitu the boys were
picking themselves out of the water, and, u
they were too oxhueted to do more thu crawl
to their cabins, be got the Job of convoying the
news to Hit Baldwin,a ftontior tody who hu
•omething of a record. On opproachlng tho
house Dave thooght long ud earnestly on the
best way of communicating tho information
ud at length came to tho conclusion that th
direct method was preferable to uy other. Ho
therefore stopped op briskly, ud, seeing Mrs.
Baldwin at tho door of tho cabin, ho raid:
“I am sorry to uy, Mrs. Baldwin, that Pike
wu drowned thla morning np tho creek.”
“Drowned?" ahe uld with a carl of her lip.
“Yu, ma'am," replied Dave, who already
began to feel uncomfortable,
“You're a liar!” ahe arid, emphatically. “Plko
can swim like a fish, ud yon can't drown a
flab, nor Pike neither. Bo go long now or I'U
hit you.”
“But Mrs. Baldwin ’’
“But nothing. Yon go on now, or I'll drown
you In a shotgun. Plko can’t bo drownod,
Who sent yon here with that Ho?”
“Tho boya on Stoner’s ranch. They were all
with Pike In a boat ud tho boat upset and
they all got ashore except Pike. Ho was
drowned and-
Juat then a
door fell on Dare 1
ground, while Mrs. Baldwin, over him, yelled:
“Didn't I tell yon not to say that again?
You git ont of this, now, before Iwu Iron
on yon. Pike’s all right If I thought ho
coold bo drowned Pd never have pnt up with
him this long. Yon go ud toll the boyn down
nt Stoner’s to cat aorae hay. My Plko'a a bet
ter man thu any of them. When there's uy
drowning to bo dono I’ll bet yon $S that some
of them Panhandle pilgrims will go to soak be
fore ho dots? Are yon going to cUmb?”
Dave made off on a ran, with tho widow
after him, ud ho did not stopnntil he roiehed
tho ranch, where aoma of the boys had already
taken Pika’s remains, they having bun fonnd
down tho atream a ways. After tolling his
story, the crowd listening Intently, Dave was
told by old man Loftuatogo off aomowhoro
ud die. “Don't yon know uy bettor thu
that, yon idiot?” ho uld, snowing aoma
warmth near the collar. “Xhere’a only one
way to inform a western womu of the death
of her hnsband, ud that to to tako his body
along with yon. Probably yon don't to-
member how Wasatch Charley got that
handsome jaw on him. He wut to tell a wo
mu down In the Sawtooth range that her hus
band had heu killed In a fiat fight The wo
man wu insulted, ud having n six shooter
handy, ud Charley being very mournful ud
peratotent, ahe lot him havo It In tho jaw. Ho
got away, bnt he hu a pur Jaw now. There
wu another man who learned something, I
poets. He lived in Idaho, ud he took a dead
man home In bis wagon. Thinking to break
the nawa gently, he uld:
’’ ’Where to your hnabud?’
“ ’He's down In tho timber entting (1 rewood.'
“•No, ho ain’t’
“ ‘Well, ho'a over to Begot’a playing cards.’
“ ‘No, ho ain’t neither.’

Re hind ms sat two mu; ono had bnt one
arm and the other bat one leg, and they
talked all abont tbe seven days’ fight and
Seven Pin at; and one tslked for Oooeral Mc
Clellan and tho other for Rob Los, and I fonnd
ont that one wu a federal ud the other a
rebel. One had been a prisoner at the Ubby
and the other at Johnson's Island, and now
thoy ware u loving u brothers ud were to
gether revisiting the scenes of their glory and
hair misfortunes. I paired vary naar the
place where I law Stonewall Jackson for tho
Iret time ud the last Ha was asleep under
the fly of General Lea's tent; ha had tumbled
downjnpon some straw ud I inquired who
that mu was, ud wu told bo wu Stonewall
Jackson. He had had no nat or sleep for
three days, and tired natnre wu overcome.
The camp tablo wu straddled over him, and
dinner was set ud devoured with tho great
told tax underneath.
It ires not far from Headow Rridgo that I
overtook RU1 Charlton, who was setting by tho
roadside, ud whan I asked him whan was
his compuy, ho uld they ware ont In tho
bnahsa holding u election. “An election tor
captain," aid has “ud u I am a candidate I
thooght I wonld wait till they got throngh.”
Sure anongh they elected him, and thu ho
joined tho bora and hurried u with tho re
treat Everybody was retreating thu, for old
Joe Johnston ins seared of UcCtallea ud wu

ness, as tha boys called it But ha aide’s re

"Under thoao trying clrcnmstuooa, tho poor
fool had to show what he had In the box, ud
of course tha womu killed him. She uld she
know soma terrible, tough man, bnt that fellow
wu tho first one who wonld kill a woman’s
husband and then go to hor honao ud call her
a llsr. Sbs was acquitted, too.
“Now, tbe tbiug to do with Pike bore to to
wait until dark and thu carry him over to tho
bouse ud leave him there nnboknowmt Bums
women are mighty touchy, and it's foolish to
rilo'emnp. Just you loave Plko over thorn,
and after a little aho’U come down ud want to
k now all about it. Than you ou toll her that
be was drowned, or that a mountain foil on
him, just u yon please. From what I know of
Ilfs and death ont hare I should bo Incltnod to
toko tho mountain story."
The old mu’s advice wu followed, and tho
widow was not only oonvlncsd of Pike's death,
bnt aha took a mournful utto&ctlon In tha re
flection that he had not been drowned.
