Hoofland's German Bitters,

A Bitten without Alcohol or Spirit of amy Mad,

Is different from all others. It is composed of Che pore juices or vital ranter? At. of Boots, Heubs, anil Bakes (or as inedicinp Uy formed, extracts), the worthless or inert portions of the ingredients not being used. Therefore, in one bottle of this Bitters there is contained as mnch medicinal r'rtne as will be found in several gallons of ordinary mixtures. The Iloota, etc. , used in thia Bitters are grown in Germany, their vita! principles extracted in fcaat country by a scientific Chemist and for-a-srded to the manufactory in this city, where they are compounded and bottled. Containing no sprritnonsing rodients, this Bitters is free from the objections urged against all others, no desire for stimulants can bo induced from t'aeir nsa, they cannot make drunkards, and cannot, under any oiroumatanoes, have any tut a beneficial effect.

Hoofland's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to extreme hitters, and is intended for use in cases when some alcoholic stimulant is required m connection vith the Tonic properties of the Jitters. EaiOi bottle of the Tonic contains tme bottle of the Bitters, combined with pnre (Iaxta Cacx Bus, and flavored in such a manner that the extreme bitterness of the Bit tors is overcome, forming a preparation highly irecable and pleasant to the palate, ant! containing the medicinal virtues of the Bitters. "2ba price of the Tenia is 91.50 per bottle, which many persona think too high. They must take into consideration that the stitnnlant used is guaranteed to be of a pure quality. A poor article could be furnished at a cheaper price, but is it not better to pay a little more and have a good article ? A medicinal preparation should contain none but the best ingredients, and they who expect to obtain a heap compound will most certainly be cheated. They are the Greatest Mnown Bemeuies For UVEB COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA, NEB VOUS DEBILITY, JAUNDICE, DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS, ERUPTIONS OP THE SKIN, and all diseaaeee arising from a disordered Liver, Stomach, or IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. Bead the following symptoms Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Fullness of Blood to the Head, Acidity of the Stomach, Nausea, Heart-burn, Bisgust foe Food, Fullness or 'Weight, in the Stomach, Sour Eructations, Sinking or Fluttering at the lit of the Stomach, Swimming of the Head. ' 1 urried or Difficult Breathing, Fluttering at t ie Heart, Choking or Suffocating Sensations vrhen in a Lying Posture, Dimness of Vision, Dots or Webs before the Sight, Dull Fain in the Head, Dificiency of Perspiration, Yellow l eoaof the Skin and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back, Chest, Limbs, Ac, Sodden Flushes of Heat, Burning in the Flesh, Constant Imaginings of Evfl, and Great Depression of Spirits. All these indicate Disease of the liver or Digestive Organs combined with impure blood. The use of the Bitters or Tonic will soon cause the above symptoms to disappear, and the patient will become well and healthy.

TWO PILLS A DOSE. The moat powerful, yet inrnxxni, Vegetabl Catharth known. It is not necessary to taku a handful of these Fills to produce the desired effect ; two of them act quickly andapowerfully, cleansing the liver, Stomach, and Bowo IB of all impurities. The principal ingredient is Podophyllin, or the Alcoholic Extract of Mandrake, which is by many times more Powerful, Acting, and Searching, than the Mandrako itself. Its peculiar action is upon the Li-er, cleaning it speedily from all obttruetio is, with all the po-ver of Mercury, yet free from the injurious results attached to the use of that mineral. For all diseases, in which the use of a eathartio is indicated, these PHI) will give entire satisfaction in every ease They never fail. In cases of Liver Complaint , Dyspepsia, and extreme Ccativeness, Dr. Hex Hand's German Bitters or Tonio should be urn d in connection with the Pills. The tonio effect of the Bitters or Tonio builds up the system . The Bitters or Tonic purifies the Blood, strengthens the nerves, regulate the Liver, ami gives strength, energy, and vigor. Keep your Bowels active wi th the Pills, and tone up the system with Bitters or Tonic, and no disease can retain its hold, or ever assail you. These medicines are sold by all Druggists and dea era in medicines evei ywhero. Recollect that it is Ds. Hoofland's Gskkah Remedies, that are so univiTsaDy used and highly recommended; and do not allow tho Prdggist to induce yon to tie anything else that be may say is Just as good, because he makes a larger profit on it.

Terrible Gunpowder Explosion Five Men Blown to Pieces.. The powder-louses belonging to the Miami Powder Company, located between Xpnia and Yellow Springs, Ohio, on the Little Miami railroad, exploded about 10 o'cloct: on Monday morning. Five men were killed Mero, Ballard and Robinson (white) and Coaley and Duncan (colored). The bodies were shockingly mutilated and burned. Conloy waB blcvn into fragments, and nothing couid be found of him but a portion of his hsad. Samuel Miner was blown across the mill-raca, and his hearing partially destroyed. Others were badly stunned, barely escaping with their lives. All the maimed were men of families. The f hock was so great ttmt in adjacent towns an i cities much consternation enisued. In Dayton the children rushed from the school-buildings, the fire bells rang, aDd it was the general apprehension that some great calamity had o:curred within the city limits. In Troy and Tippecanoe the houses were

shaken as by an earthquake, and the shock was distinctly felt at Urbana and Xeni -u A brick house, Btandiirg more than a mile distant, had its windows completely blown out, and was otherwise damaged. Hundreds of windows were broken at ifellow Springsi. The first explosion occureoi in the wheiil-mill. This communicated with tho press-mill, where the powder in prtxjets of manufacture is contained in canvas bags. The double dry-house, fifty feet square, containing a vast quantity of dry powder, came in next for destruction. Then followed the glase-mill.the canning-mill and packinghouse. The mills were situate! some distance apart, but the concussion was so great as to produce an explosion in all. From twenty to thirty tons of powder were in 1 he destroyed buildings. The company .jatimate thri:- oss at. $25,000. Human Bloodhounds,. Tlie Pontiac (ldich.) Oaze.tte, speaking of the colored man, Edward Harrie, whose wanderings through the country while suffering fiom disease have been noted, says : The first intelligence we have of Harris is that he stopped at the Waverley House at Flint, stating to tlie proprietor that r e was sick, nnd unable, to go further. A physician (Dr. Axford) was sent for, who pronounced his disease the small pox, t.nd requested, that he might be kept closely until arrange

ments couia ne made tor His protection. Instead of obeyir g this humans advice, the keeper of the hotel drove him otf.

and got him on a. car bound south, thus lending his aid in distributing. a malignant disease, tha ; might have been put out of the way of further mischief if the precautions of the physician had been heeded. This wes the first error, if we can call such deliberate cruelty by so convenient a name. When theconduc tor ;ulled for his fare, Harris acknowledged he had the small-pox, and was wittiout money, and was dropped at Grand Blanc at night, poorly clad nnd halt starved. Thence he started through the snow, on a bitter cold evening, with the fevnr raging in his veins, lo walk to Holly. The news, however, pre:eded him, arid before he reached the town an officer met him holding a loaded pistol at his head, compelling him to make a circuit of the village. His feet were now so swollen from the cold that he carried his boots in his hand and walke.i barefooted through the snow. Pureusd like a savage beast, without food, slowly freezing in spite of a high fever, he reached Davisburgh, where ho found a brief respite, but was soon started again on his way, after lifting detained for stealinp, and reached Pontiac, when, after wandering about a few homy, he was finally taken in charge try the city officials and confined in a rudely constructed shed, where, after a brief struggle with the disease and the cold, thi poor fellow died on Monday night, an 1 it was with tho ut-nio-t difficulty tint any one could be found to bury him on Tuesday night, but it was finallj accomplish ad. The old sieve used as a pest-hoiisp was immediately burned.

Your hand on tho latch of the door. Your voice in the hsll and yonr footsteps. Near, nearer, beside me once more. With irlad eyes half shut now I see yon. So strong, and so bravo, nnd so true. With eyes I knrw, even in dreaming, Belong to no other than yon. I knoT that at last it is over. The wearying trouble and care. And comfort nnd conrage Bow bark with The touch of your hand oo my hair. But often, and often, and often I open my eyes you arc gone I I am sitting sJone by the window, Tho shadows of night coming on. So often I fancy you near me. It surely some dav mnst com true. So singing--! hope when I sing, dear. The songs that I once sang for you. And Enniling, I whisper, " My darling, Shall see only eyes that are bright: No tears, then, to dim their love sunshine : V, ho knows but he may come to-night?

BUILDING A HOUSE WITH A TEACUP. 7rom Harper's Mngaz'.ne. " Let it alone, Lucy I" exclaimed Gianny Grey to her young visitor. " Why did you remove the shade ?" "Well, dear Granny, only because I really wanted to see it," "See it I" said the veiy handsome woman, with whom the aspect of youth yet lingered. "Why, dctrling, surely your eyes are not in the tips of your fingers? You could move it without removing the shade. You mean, I suppose, you wanted to eel it ?" Lucy laughed. In common with all the girls in Woolen Reach the name of the village in which Mrs. Grey resided she called her " Granny ;" " Granny " was the pet name, the name of love, by which all the young people, boys and girls, recognized Mrs. Grey. Lucy Lynne was one of the good woman's especial favorites. There were steadier and wiser girls in Woolen Reach ; but there was not one gifted with a gentler heart or it kinder nature than Lucy Lynne. " I do not know what I wanted," laughed Lucy ; " but you all make such a wonderful fuss about that cup that I thought I should like to know why : and just now, when you had done read

ing, and closed the Hook, leaving Mr.

Grey's spectacle-case in it for a mark, I

am sure you sat tor quite nve mmute' looking at that cup lit least your evet

were fixed on it and yet " The gir; paused.

"Ana yet wnat t questioned airs.

Grey.

" Why, though your eyes were fixed on the cup, it seemed as if they were somehow looking beyond it; and then indeed, your cheeks grew red, and your eyes had teavs in them, and I thought, without intending it, you clasped your hands ; and you got up and looked at the sheet almanac, and I thought you said to yourself, 'Thank God I- " " Why, Lucy,,: exclaimed Mrs. Grey, " what an observonj. puss you are ! I little thought you were watching me as a cat would a mouse." "That won't do, dear Granny,' laughed Lucy. " The oat watches the mouse because she wants to catch and eat it. Jsow you do not believe that I want to eat you?" "No, dear child, I never thought you wanted to eat me," answered Mrs. Grey, laughing in her turn ; " but I d:d not think you were so observant." " I am sure," :said Lucy, " there are a dozen tea-cups in the house much prettier than the old thing you lay such store by. Some one said here the other day that the ' willow pattern' was considered very old-fashioned and in ' bad taste;' and you naid it was, and that you hated the sight of it, and would have a new dinner service as soon as your ship came home; but," added Lucy, with a little pout, " that ship is a long time on the seas. As long as I can remember I have, heard you talk of what was to be done when the ship came home ; perhaps, when it does, Granny, it ms.y bring you a pretty cup to put under the shade, instead of that 'willow pattern.'" " No," said Mrs. Grey ; " not all the cups that ever came from China, even if they were filled with gol i, would be half as valuable in my ey ?e as that discolored old tea cup of the ' willow-pattern,' which 1 have cared for and cherished for thirty yeani ; and Mr, Grey values it as highly as I do." " Granny, vill you not tell me why," inquired Lucy, " that I also may valuo it? I know you think a great deal of it, for you always dust the shade with your own hands." " If you can sit still, Lucy, and listen attentively, it will be a pleasure to tie to tell you why I value that tea-cup. Thei-e ! bring your favorite stool to my side, nnd sit down, and you shall hear, not an imaginary but a true story, which I hope you will remember all t ue days of your life. " You know my husband was a carpenter indeed, I may gay is; though he does not work as hard as he used with his hands, I think he does with

his head, and I hear that Iub power of

calculation is clear and rapid." " Oh yes," an id Lucy ; ' I have heard Mr. Grey nriv tint terr.i ..)) i " - ! ,is b' ., ,. in .'

"X married him when I was vsry yonflg," continued Mrs, Grey ''some said1 too young, to take the cares of the world upon me ; but I thought my hasband, who wits a very well educated man, would teach me how to bear them atrlenst that was what I thought and believed ; but the real truth was, I loved him very dearly, and if there ne faults, we are not inclined to see them in those we love." "Then," said the saucy Lusy, looking archly up into Mrs. Grey's face, " I do not think, Granny, you love me very much, for I think you see all my fauilts, ever so big !" My dear one 1" replied her old

ineno, i nope I see them all, oe-

be very perfect : and if hor faults

wfjiot known, how could they be OtSnSfiM 1 And she has just displayed one." " A fault !'' repeated Lucy, opening her great ijrey eyes. "Yes; you interrupted me at the commencement of a story you said you wished to hear, and I now feel indisposed to tell it." " Oh," exclaimed the repentant Lusy, " indeed I will not do so again; I will be as silent as ever you could wish, and as attentive ; I did not mean to be rude, dear Granny I" " Where did I leave off?" questioned Mrs. Grey. " You said we were not inclined to see faults in those we love," replied Lucy. " Oh, I remember. Well, dear, we had every thing very tidy and comfortable, and my husband bad plenty of work. I did not think it then, but I had cause to mourn it afterward, that though 1 loved my husband, I was r ot as careful in my married life as I shou ld have been of his little home comforts. His dinner was not always ready to the moment, as it ought to have been ; nor was the hearth swept and the room tidied up, as it is a wife's duty to see that it is when her husband comes home from his day's work. The hour or two of evening, when tho toil of tbe day is ended, should be the happiest of the four-and-twenty, and cannot fail to be eo if a household, howe ver small, is properly cared for. During the early days of our married life we n' ver omitted reading a portion of th? Testament, and sometimes singing the verse of a

hymn, before we retired for the night. Mr. Grey had a beautiful voice," said the old lady, with very pardonable pride, " and, as you know, he leads in the church still. After ,vt bad been married about a year, it pleased God to make an addition to our '-'amily. That should have increased my dexterity, so that my attention to my child should not have been taken from, but added to, the comforts and pleasures of cur home ; but, instead of that, my new duties rendered me heediiss, and often sluggish. My husband liked to see me trim and neat in my person. " ' Katie,' he used to s ty, ' I only ask to see your hair brushed nnd shining, and your apron and cotton gown as they used to be clean.' He would often take the broom and sweep the hearth, and make up the fire, and put the white cloth on the table forsupper; and though 1 knew that was what, I ought ti have done before he came home, yet I don't know how it was I did not improve. I had grown rather too fond of gossipping with neighbors who were idler than myBelf, and carrying my child who certainly was a beauty about to have it admired. This was our first baby our dear blue-eyed boy. I almost seemed fonder of 'shewing him off than looking after my home. When rich married people do not think so much of each other as they ought to do, they have many other things to look to for happiness ; but if the lacip

which led the poor to the allar grows dim, the house is dark indeed the light of their life goes cut with it I" Lucy looked at Mrs. Grey with wondering eyes ; for sue was the neatest, and nattiest old baby you could see anywhere, and was held up as a pattern to ail the young girls in the neighborhood. " I do not know now how it was, or when it began, but we often forgot to read our chapter. My husband did not continue as good humored as he hud been during our early days, and I clid not see how much of that was my fault for not making him comfortable, a: I had done at first. He was very fond of our baby, but the poor little fellow gnaw ill and peevish, lie could not bear to hear it cry. When it began to cry he would take up his hat to go out. The very thing which, ought to have sent us on. our knees in supplication that our infant might tie restored to health seemed to break in upon our prayeis ; and, instead of the hymn except, indeed, on Sunday evenings my hus band, who had, as I told you, a beautiful voice, would bring home a new song which he wished to learn, so that he might sing it at the Tradesman's Club at the Blue Lobster. "Slowly but surely he began, instead of returning borne in the evenings, to attend these club meetings. Then I saw my danger, and how foolishly, if not wickedly, I had acted, in rot attending to my first earthly duty. " One morning I never shall forget it I rose determined to get my washing over and dried out of the wav, as he had promised to return early. There is nothing, except a scolding wife, mere miserable to a poor man than andiug the fire fr:m which he expected warmth and comfort hung round with steaming or damp clothes that a brisk, gocd ma nager would get dried and folded before his return. " I had made such good resolutions ; but, darling," said Granny, after a pause, " I trusted to my own strengih. 1 did not then as I do do now, pntreat God's help ask for God's help to enable me to keep them. I was too fond, in my young, proud days, of trusting entirely to myself to my own will. Well, dear, 1 suffered one sm.ill matter or another to call me away, and an eld gossiping woman and her daughter came and wasted my time ; and wher I heard the church clock stiike, and knew my husband would be in in h as than half nn hour, nnd nothin;; ready to make him comfortable, thougli he h id had a hard day's work at the saw-pit, in wet weather, I could have cried with shame and vexition. My rejolve had been so strong in what? in my own poor, weak strength I Well, :. hurried ; but it is hard racing after misspent time. My husband came in, dripping wet, about five minutes before his usual hour. He looked at me, aid at the clothes line, that was stretched in front of Die fire, and, with a small chopper that he had in his hand, he cut the line, and down went my half-dried clothes on the not over-clean sanded floor. ' A soft answer tuineth away wrath,' aiLitu the proverb ; bt t I Jig iwt

give the soft answer, and the wrath was net turned away. u yjwjt well, Katie,' ho said ; ' there is no place here for meto sit and rest, and no supper ready ; but I can get sitting, resting, and supper at the Blue Lobster, where many a fellow is driven by an ill-managing wife.' And with that lie turned out of the door. It was in my heart to follow him, to lock my arms lound his neck, arid, begging his pardoi:., bring him back. But I was vexed about the clothes, and forgot the provocation. That was his first night all ot;l. at the Blue Lobster, Wt it was not Aii' lail. I saw ray error, and I prxivei then for strength to do my duty ; but somehow my husband had

cause I am anxious my Lucy should pgot a taste for the popularity that grows

out ot good story anct a nne voice, ana he had felt that woful night what it was to be warmed, when he -was cold, by. feba fire of brandy, instead of sea-coal. Days passed ; our little boy, our Willy, grew worse tnd worse. Time had been when "Mr, (Irey would walk the night with him :n bis bosom, to soothe him to sleep ; but now, if the poor child wailed ever no heavily, he could not hear it. Another child had been given to us, but she or ly added to our difficulties. Then, indeec, I labored continuously to recall what had lost, but drink had got the mastery. We were backward with our rent ; ay poor husband lost his customers, for he neglectod his business ; and both clothing nd furniture went to satisfy our creditors, and that craving which cries for more the more it gets. I coul 1 not bear the sympathy of my neighbors for they would give me their pity iield me up as a suffering angel while every hour of mj life I recalled the time when neglect of my wifely duties fimt drove my husband to the public-house. " When sober, my poor dear was full of sortow. but he had not the strength to avoid temptation. He never used any volence toward me, though if I attempted to hold any thing he wished to turn into drink, he would become furious, .ind tear and rend whatever he could lay his hands on. One terrible night be broke every remnant of gjass that remained of what once, for a tradesman's wife, I had such a store , Every thing was shattered, every thint; trampled on and broken every thing lout that one cup." "And how did that escape?" questioned Lucy. ''It contained the infant's supper," replied Mrs. Grey, " I saw his hand hove r over it, and the same moment his pool k lood-sbqt eyes rested on the baby, whose little outstretched arms craved for iti food. Some silent message at that moment must have entered his liea -t : his arms fell down, and without

etlort to support himself, he sank

into a heap upon the floor in the midst of the destruction he had caused. I tried ;o get him on to where once a bed had baen ; we had still a mattress and a couple of blankets." Lucy did not speak, but her eyes were overflowing, and she stole her hand into that Mrs. Grey. The good woman soon res umed her story : ' 1 saw that even there sleep came to subdue and calm him. My poor child at s her supper and fell asleep, and my sick boy was certainly better, and also slept. I crept about, gathering up the broken pieces, and endeavoring to light the fire. A kind lady to whom I had taken home some needle-work that morning for several weeks I had been the only bread winner in addition to the egh teen pence I had earned, gave ine a email quantity of tea and sugar; .iud an old. pewter teapot that, however batterod, would not break, seemed to me a comforter. He would awake, I knew, cold and shivering, but 1 hoped not ur til the Blue Lobster and every house of the same description were closed, and then his thirst would compel him to take some tea. I heard the church-clock strike one, and it was a

joyful sound ; no open doors, even to

old customers, then. 1 knelt down between the children's blankets and my poor shattered husband, and prayed as I never prayed before. " I Lad managed sufficient fuel to boil

the kettle and create some degree of

warmti, and I waited patiently and prayerfully for the waking. It came at last. The anger and the violence that had been almost insanity were all gone; only tbe poor broken-down man was there. He asked what o'clock it was. I told him the church-clock had gone half-past one. He'then asked for water. 1 brought him a cupful, another, and another, and then a cup of tea. After he had taken it, he guthered himself up and took the stool I moved toward him. I poured him out a fresh cup of tea. E'e looked for some little time vacantly at the table, and not seeing another cup, he pushed thatono toward me. I drank, half filled it again, and moved it to his hand. " ' My poor Katie,' he said, and kept repeating my name, ' has it come to this oily one cup between us all ? ' "'And enough, too,' I answered, smiling as gayly as I could ' enough to build a house and home on, if we trusted to tea.' "'Wiiat is your meaning?' he inquired. " I was almost afraid to say what I meant, but I took courage, while trembling. 'I mean, darling,' I answered, ' that if we could both be content with refreshment of tea, we'd soon

have a better and blither house than ever we had.' "'l'vabeen a bad father and a bad husbnnd,' he taid for by this time he had nearly come to himself' but all is gone, and it's too late to mend.' " I made no answer, but just dre down tbe blanket from the faces of the sleeping children there never was anything touched my husband like the little ch: Id. " ' Is all gone 1 ' I asked ; and with that he crushed his face down on his clasped bunds us they lay on the table, and buitit into tears. I knelt down beside L iiu, and thanked God for the tears in my heart, but I was so choked I could not speak; and we staid that way ever no long, neither saying a word. Now it iti strange what turns the mind will take. Even while his face was wet with tears, my darling lifted it.' " ' Kb1 ie,' he said and it may seem to you nothing but a fond old woman's fancy, hut I've always thought there was no music in the world ever so sweet as the way my husband says 1 Katie' unto this day ' Katie,' ho says, ' let's turn the cup, and see what it reads.' Like all youngsters, I believe, we had tOBseil ninny a cup, in our boy and girl days, just for laughter. He took it up quite serious like, and turned it, and as he looked into it he smiled. ' There's a clear roid,' he went on, 'and a house at t he to p, and a wonderful lot of plankB; they can't be ours, for there is not a plank in or near the pit now.' "'But there will be,' I answered, eagerly. 'It was only yesterday, down

was my carelessness and neglect that turned you from your own fireside.' " ' You should not . have said that, Katie,' he answered. ' I've been a bad husband and bad father, and I did not think there was one in the place now that would trust me with a 'lay's work;' and his voice shook and ialteired, bat he got it out at last. ' Even if I did take a tarn, it's not likely yon could forgive me I ' " And then I fell weeping at his feet, and laid bare my heart, and repeated that if I had been what I ought to have been, and kept tho house ho pat over me fresh and clean, as I ought to have kept it, instead of spending the morning of my days in vanity and idleness, we need not have been two shivering sinners at that hour. I repeated again and again that it was my ways that drove him to find by the tup-room fire what he had lost at home; an'l then I lifted up my voice, and called to my Saviour to look down and help us lath. 1 I, with my voice ft 11 of tears, promised my husband if he would try me only try me he would see what a borne I would make for him. ie was always one for a little joke, and even then he said, and twirled the cup, 'A wellplenished house in a tea-cup ; one teacup between us.' "'Yes,' I said, 'if nothing stronger than tea flows in to that cop, or wets our lips out of that, cup, ve will build our house.' " We both kept long silence, and the break of that blessed day. though it

showed me my hntiband's once glowing

and manly face pale and tiagg ira, ana his hand trembkng so treimbling that he could not carry the teacup to hie lips without spilling its contents brought new life into our shattered home. " Lucy, on that blessed day this day eighteen years ago strength was given us both to keep our promis.5 to God and to each other ; ancl somehow this text got stamped upon our hearts : "'We can do all things through Christ, who strengthens us.' " My poor darling ! he htd hard lines at first: Never was there a drunkard who did not cast o.bout to make others as bad as himself. As the day drew on he had not courage to face the street ; but I went up to Groveley Manor, and told the good lady that my husband would fell the trees ; that he' might be trusted, because he no longer tin. ted in his own strengt h ; that he vas a pledged teetotaler, and I was pledged to make his uume happy ; bnt that we did not trust in our own pledges, but in faith that we oculd do all things through Christ, who strengthened us. " Still the line were herd. He had to bear up against the tatmte and the sneers of his bocn compt jior, and I had t struggle herd to give a desolate room the welcome home kok that would prevent bis wishing for ttte lights and the warmth and the excitement, and the praise hiii songs were sure to obtain. But, however scanty the furniture, a poor man's home cut always be sweet and clean ; 'hat is in the power of the poorest ; and though when he returner from his first day's timbering there was but one tea-cup between us, the old darned cloth was clean., the teer pot and fire bright. No lord's children could be cleaner, and he stid it was as a nosegay to kiss their sweet chieks. It was hideous to s je how ilia old companions loomedin upon our poverty, and tempted, or tried to temf t, him back. One terrible drunlatrd staggered in, and mockingly asked if I would give my husband leave to go for an hourjaat half an hour even and I rose and went into the little bedroom. I knew I oonld trust him, because he hi id ceased to trust himself. And I blesasd Clod when I saw the tempter staggering forth, deliding my husband, and prepared to commit violence on any who opposed his progress. "It is some tim before neujrhbors or onoe friends can believe in a d:-unkard's reformation. Th dear good lady who took the surest wf.y. to insure hi lived to see our growing prosperity 'building a house with s tea-cup,' she always called it and my good man was not slow to declare tho effect tie clear b yroad pictured forth in tho tea-grounds had upon his excited invagination on that memorable night. Oar neceesaries returned to us slowly Tory slowly at first but the neighbors, when the? saw how hardly and earnestly my husband worked, ottered ui credit for what they thought we needed; but we resolved to abstain from all luxuries until we could

par for what we est. Some of oar little

valuables had bem left at the pabliohouse as security for scores, and the landlord though ; himself a moat injured nun when my husband redeemed his one article of finery -a mid shirtcm that had belonged to jus father. We learned tbe hip pines every Saturday night of adding to tr comforts : and from that day to this my husband has always found his house swept and garnished no damp linen banging about, no button less shirta or holey stockings. The ohildren were trained to neatness and good order, and the sound of discord and con Tacliction has never been since beard within oar home. The babits of onr first mont hs of marriage returned ; a few venesof the Holy Writ, a prayer, and a hymn refreshed the memory of our bond with God and with ach other. We feel those exercises far more impressive now than we did when we practiced thent a a cold ceremony rather .han as the result of a living faith. " In less than six years my husband built this oottaeo, I may aa-r with his

own hands. We got the bit of land at a low rate, and over hoars he worked at it as only a teetotaler earn work. 0?r Willy has never teen a strong lad, and the doctor says if he had been evn a
