A Dark Day.

Hetty Lockwood sat at the open windbw a big basket of nndarned stockings by her sidev- a copy of the last magazine on the table close by, -while "withiu reach a bright butterfly hovered about a newly-opened honeysuckle growing against the window; The spring breeze breathed balmily into the apan' meat, filling- her senses with a delicious dreaminess, and her eyes wandered wistfuHy out beyond ' the shaded village sfreet to the green fields and budding willows bordering the sparkling river; Qn a morning such as this who could endure to stay in doors? Mfho oiUd endure to sit quietly down and darn stockings? " VA girlish voice aroused Hetty. Xookiijg from the window she saw Susie Lake leaning .on the little front garden gate. "Oh," Hetty, do come and walk with me down to Aunt Ellen's. The morning is lovely, nd I have something to tell you.?'..- : "I am afraid I can't, Susie. It is Saturday,. you' know, and I am. sewing and watching baby asleep, while mother. w in the kitchen:'9 ' Then I will have to tell you now, I suppose." She came close, under the window, and said, with a mischievous smile : v Whom do you think I saw just now, Hetty?" "I don't know who. The new minister?" No, indeed ; somebody very differentirotnihat fat, red-faceolct codger, returned Susie, irreverently. Oh, Susie, but who was it ? " : !2ow, it. was Mr. Walter Hayes. Now, ain't you: surprised? " - - A vivid blush dyed Hetty g fair face. She made no reply, and Susie continued: '"His employer, Mr. Mitchell, sent him on business from Philadelphia to C- , and, as this wasn't much out of the way of his home, they give him leave to stop here for a day or two, so he toIcT me when I met him just now. He arrived' only an hour ago, in the stage from. Cox's Station, and that is how I came to see him before you did, Hetty," she added, laughingly. ; She passed on, leaving Hetty with flushed cheeks and brightened eye. No wefjder for mor than a year past tie thought of Walter -Hayes had been the brightest spot of her life. One year ago hej-Jtadififood at that same littlt green garden gate, in the moonlight, bidding her good-bv before going way to the great dty loheek nis fortune. '- She remembered the warm, lingering elasp of his hand, and? how h&. had said to her in a voice that was low and trembling : "Tort must not forget me, Hetty I shaft aiways- think of yon.Hetty and when I come back " " And just then her mother,had come on the porch and called her in out of the damp air, and sd he had Jeft her reluctantly. E:it now he had come back and shewor4d.see him to-day. w- ? " I do declare, Hetty," exclaimed her mother, bustling into the room, flushed from her pie-baking, " you are the laziest girl I ever saw. Here you've1 been, upward of an hour darning one.pair.of stockings! What have you been about ? Dreaming away your time as usual, no -doubt; and with all the children's Sunday clothes to look over and lay ont for to-morrow, beside the Saturday's chorea. w Hetty penitently resumed her work ; but she was very glad when toward sunset it was ail done, and she had leisure to run up to her own little room, and never in her life had she taken such pains with her appcaranee as now. How anxiously she listened for the expected ring at the front door. How tnmultuously her heart beat when, at. length, it came, and how heavy" it sank when old Deacon Brown stalked in to discuss some church matters with her father. Then she began to look at the clock, and her heart grew fainter and fainter as she saw it traveling slowly around to 8 o'clock. In Riverside they kept early hours, and when, at a quarter of 9, Deacon Brown took leave, Hetty also rose, and, lighting her bedroom candle, went Biowly and sadly up stairs. When, next morning, she came down, her mother remarked, as she busied herself about the breakfast table : 1 "Hetty, Walter Hayes was here last night"" ' : "Oh, mother!" There was something almost pathetic in the look and tone, but Mrs. Lockwood was too busy with the steaming coffee pot to perceive it. " He came in just as you had gone up stairs," she continued. "Ho asked for yon, but it was so late I thought it hardly worth while to call you back again. He had Ijeen seeing Miss Mitchell home to her aunt's -that Philadelphia girl, you know, and Ididn't know, ur til he mentioned it, that she was a niece of employer, Mr. Mitchell. He is certainly improved. To my mind there is nothing like city life for giving people what they Call style now. Make Edfdie's milk toast while I pour out the coffee." " I think," observed Mr. Lockwood, as he took his place at the table and cut into the cold corned beef ; " I think I heard Harry Tunstall say yesterday that young Hayes was paying attention, to Miss Mitchell. She's a handsome girl, and her father's got money. If Walter marries her he will do well don't bolt your foot" like that, cut it properly, sir, before eating." Hetty turned suddenly sick at heart. She Baid nothing, but she could not swallow her breakfast, and her mother presently remarked upon her pale looks: "Don't you feel well, child? I noticed that you were fidgety last night. You're feverish, I doubt not, with the spring weather." Hetty was glad that .her mother permitted her to go to her rooia and lie down. There was never a fire in her room, but she drew the bed-clothes over her head and wished that she could thus shut herself ouf from the whole worlcE She felt forlorn aud miserable. All her sweet, foolish dream of love seemed to have been rudely stricken at a blow. Walter had ceased to care for her. He had been won from her by that handsome, stylish girl from Philadelphia ; and Hetty hid her face in her pillow and almost wished that she could die. Her mother sent for her to come down to dinner. There was, she said, no use in staying up-stairs in the cold, and the child would be better by the

fire, with some nice, warm soup. In there all the . afternoon Hetty sat, while her father and the boy went to church and her mother read "Baxter's Bise and Progress " and sang dismal hymns to the baby "Het," said Bill, upon his return from church, ' I saw your old beau, Mr. Walt.. Hayes,: at church with Miss Mitchell, and he shook hands with me and asked me how the family was. She's a real swell, I tell you, and, if yon don't shinenp some, she'll cut you out. " ' William, don't let me here any more of such slang taJk-from you," said his mother, reprovingly. And Hetty," said her little sister, as she carefully drew off and folded her gloves, "I heard Kate Hayes tolling Mrs. Green:: that Walter and liss Mitchell were: going back . tonaorrow. to Phnidelphia, and Mis, GreeStSaicl. she supposed that was one reason of his coming to Riverside, that he might

..travel home with her." .- 1

Hetty lost all heart and hope at tins,. She longed for sympathy to lay her head on her motlier's knee and tell her alL But Mrs. Lock wood, though she really loved her children, was not one of th se-gentle -and sympathetic mothers to whom their children thus turn and Hetty went Ugain to her lonely room, and, wrapping herself in a shavl , seated herself at the; window and looked list:essly out' A few people were "passing. She hardly noticed-them, until sho suddenly met a pair of brown eyes ; and she drew back with burning cheeks and a beating heart as Walter Hayes passed. How handsome he looked ! and, as her mother had observed, how improved in appearjinco. And she what could he think of her, sitting- there pale and forlorn looking, with .Tier hair all disordered about her face? He might come this evening, perhaps, and yet she hardly wished it now; It would only bo painful to see him. Still, she dressed herself and went down stairs; though her head was throbbing and she felt really ill. And all the evening she waited and watched, and Walter never came, and she knew that he did not care to see her. And so ended the long, dreary day. ; Next morning Hetty arose feverish and i'.l. But she busied herself about the household work; and when her mother, observing only that sho was dull and languid, remarked that she needed a walk, and desired her to cany a jar of butter to old Mrs. Simpson, she made no objection. The day was pleasant, and, tyinga pink-lined hood about her face, Hetty set off alone on her walk. It was rather a long distance that she had to go out of the village and across a- field, and then by a lonely pathway lying ;along the foot of a hill. Mr3. Simpson kept her some time talking, and it was late when tired girl set out on her return. Slowly retracing the little pathway, Hetty paused at the stile which led into the open field. It was pleasant there. The sun shed a golden light over' the beech boughs and a breath of spring-time fragrance floated on the. air. Somehow Hetty felt soothed as she stood resting on the stile and looked dreamily at the white clouds overhead. An .approaching footstep startled her. Turning, she saw a man's figure coming along the pathway, Her heart gave a great, throb, and alien seemed to stand still. ... He came straight toward her, his hand extended, his 'lip smiling, his eyes looking straight into her owi - "Hetty!" : She looked up at him, half in. hope, half in doubt, and the color came and went on her face.' Hetty, I have waated so much to see you." 1 She could not mistake the sincerity of his tone or the look of the brown eyes, and she answered, simply and naively : " "I thought you had forgotten me." "Forgotten you?" She could not have told how it happened, but somehow she found herseii seated on the step of the stile with Walter beside her, and her cheek close ah I very close -to his, while all the world around seemed transformed into a strange beauty and glory. Such miracles -does a moment sometimes work in our lives. As they walked slowly homeward together he told her that ono thing and another had prevented his seeing her ; amoig the rest, Bill having told him confidentially at the church that she was too sick to come down stairs that day a statement which he had unfortunately credited, and when this morning he had called and learned from her mother where she had gone, he lost no time in following. "But, Walter," flaid Hetty, hesitat ingly,-" do you know I heard something about you and-Miss Mitchell ? " . . . He laughed. Miss Mitchell is to be married shortly, Hetty, to our junior partner. She has been very kind to me, and so has her uncle, my employer. Indeed, Hetty, I wanted to tell you of my good fortune and- prospects, and to ask you, darling, if, when " . And the words which had been for a whole year delayed were spoken, and

Hetty wondered, as she came in sight of

uer home, whether tins could be the same, world that it had been on that dark, dark day,- yesterday.

CHAINED HIMSELF.

The Science of Forestry. The Boston Globe says: The science of forestry is coming to press more earnestly upon public attention as our forests disappear under the wasteful policy which has prevailed ever since the country was settled, and in various directions effort is made to save what is left

' and to repair, for the sake of future

generations, the losses already sustained.

Such an effort is that of the Middlesex Fella Association; and from the same locality there comes the appeal of Mr. F. Rand for the planting of rock or sugar maples.; Mr. Rand's plan is "to take these trees from the forest at a suitable age for transplanting, and set them out on the borders of highways, a row on each side, say one hundred feet apart, or with space enonglv to nllow a fair view of our beautifid New England landscapes from the road. Let them be arranged so that the trees on the two rows may

f not come directly opposite each oUier,

but have the trees on either side alternate with the trees on the other side. In twenty or twenty-five years the average

' of these trees would be of suitable size

to tap for sap, and meanwhile they would have answered all the other purposes of shade trees equally well or better than others." Tho rock for sugar making, is a beautiful, hardy, clean, and valuable shade tree, and in addition is especially valuable. -Mr. Rand estimates that the cost of this enterprise would be not more than $1 a piece for the trees, including tho frame work necessary to pirotect the young trees from browsing animals; while the profit does not end when the trees cease to produce sap, for the wood is valuable for various articles of manufacture, and for fuel.

Cold and Magnetism. An investigation, conducted in the physical laboratory of Harvard University, has led to the discovery of the remarkable fact that intense cold can deprive magnetized steel bars of nearly all the magnetism that may have been imparted to them. The intense cold was produced by solid carbonic acid. This fact has an important bearing upon observations of the magnetic condition of the earth, taken in high latitudes; for what appear to be daily and yearly changes in the earth's magnetism may be due in large port to conditions of temperature, which affect the magnets used in the observations. It also must be concluded that the molecular condition of Bteel is changed by great cold, Boston 4$v$r$ert

How a Textts Fnnr Armnffod for Ilia Ikeudi from MjFIroiImbt. A Dallas (Texas) letter says: "A tragic death has just' occurred in our neighbor ing county of Hill worth relating, nr.d worthy of Virginias or any other Roman father. One year ngo George Arnold came to Dnllns on private business, and while walking tho streets was bitten by a worthless cur which was frothing nt the mouth, and showing other symptoms of hydrophobia. Mr. Arnold became alarmed and very much excited when convinced in his own mind that the drg was mad. He went to a physician and had tho wound severely cauterize d. Then, going homo, he was still very nnensy and dreaded hydrophobia so much that ho hunted up a mad-stone and had it applied for several' weeks, off and on. He took every other precaution which was suggested)' resting all thetimo'under a mortal-dread that the virus had gone iuto his system, and would sooner or later kill him. He had a wife and several small children living on a rather isolated farm, and the thought that ho might suddenly lose his reason and harm his little babes horrified him. Tho other day he began to experience strango feelings, and at once concluded his time had come. He then procured a twelve-foot trace-chain and strong lock and went to the woods. After writing his wife a calmlettcr, in which lie told her what was

about to happen, giving directions a.s to his wishes after death, and pouring out a volume of love for her aud their, children, he ran the chain round a tree, drew it through the large , ring at the end, and then, wound . the other -end arpnnd his ankle so tight that it would not slip over the foot, locked it with tho lock, and threw the key far beyond his reach. The body was found two- days after, still chained to the tree. There was all the evidence necessary to'show tho horrible death from hydrophobia. The ground was torn up to the full length of the chain, tho nails of tho fingers wrenched off, and all his front teeth out in scrathing and biting the tree, aud every thread of clothiugoff his body. The body was dreadfully lacerated with those, the only weapons the madman could use. He had judged rightly what would have been the consequence had he remained at home," and, knowing that there was no human skill that could have cured him, preferred death alone, and iirthat way, to doing-harm to those so near and dear to him as a wife and children. "Arnold was originally from Talladega, Alabama, where he married, and where his widow has many friends and relatives." President and " Mrs. Polk. President Polk was nearly 50 years oi ago when he was inaugurated, aud v:ns no novice in public life, having served for fourteen consecutive years in Congress, and for two years as Governor of the State of Tennessee. He was a p:iro man, of unpretendiug appearance and middle statnro, with a rather small head, a full, angular brow, - penetrating dark gray eyes, and a firm mouth. His hair, which ho wore long and brushed baek behind his ears, was touched with hilver when he entered tho White House,- and gray when he left it. He wur a worthy and ' well-qualified member of thtv fraternity of Freemasons and a believer in the creed of the Methodists, although, out of deference to the religious opinions of his wife, he attended worship with her at the Rev. Mr. Sprolo's Presbyterian Ohnrch. Calm, cold and intrepid in his moral character, he was ignorant of the beauty 'Of moral uprightness in the conduet of public affairs ambitions of power, and successful in the pursuit of 1 it. He was very methodical and remarkably industrious, ahvayslindiug time to listen patiently to the stories of those who came to him as petitioners of patronage and place. But his arduous labors impaired his health andshortencd his life. Before his term of office had half expired, his friends were pained to witness his shortened and enfeebled step, and the airof languor aud exhaustion which sat upon him, . Mrs. Polk was a strict Presbyterian, and she shunned what she regarded i-s "the vanities of tho world" whenever it was possible for her to. do so. She did not possess the queenly grace of Mrs. Madison, or the warm-hearted hospitality of Mrs. Tyler, but she presided over the White House with great dignity. She waa of medium height aud size, with very black hair, dark eyes and complexion, and formal" yet gracciiil deportment. At the inauguration of her nisband, she wore a black-silk dress, a ong black-velvet clo.tk with a deep cape, trimmed with fringe and tassels, and a purple-velvet bonnet, trimmed with a satin ribbon. She would not permit dancing at the White House, but she did all in her power to render the administration of Mr. Polk popular. One morning a lady found her" reading. J have many books presented to me by the writers " said she, and I: try to read them all. At present this is not possible ; but this evening the author of thin" book dines with the President, and 1 could not be so unkind as to appear wholly ignorant and unmindful of his gift" At one of her evening receptions a gentleman remarked : "Madam, you have a very genteel assemblage to-nigh t. 1 ' '-'Sir," replied Mrs. Polk, with perfect good humor, but very siguincantly, "1 never have seen it otherwise."

One Who Has Killed 1,161 Been The Elmira Free Press says : Charles O. Smith lives in Tuscarora Township, Steuben County, about four miles from Addison. Iu conversation with our correspondent ho said : "I came fiom Chenango County into, this region iu 18-10, It was a wilderness into which wo went Not a tree of the old forest had been felled. There was great hunting hereaboats. in those days," contiuned Mr. Smith. "I remember well when my wife would say to me, ' Well, Charles, I want you to go out and get mo a deer,' I would start iu the afternoon when tho sun was only an hour high and get three or four deer before it got very dark. Why, I have myself killed as high as eighty-four deer in one season. I have kept account of tho number I have hilled and it is 1,101, all, top, within a radius of six or soveu miles from this spot, and every one' in Steuben County. My father taught mo to shoot on the run, long years ago, when wo were living in Cheumig' County, and when I was but a little boy; We would go out on a Fide hill and my father would -roll a pumpkin down it.

The earth turns on its axis from west to cast, and with it rotattva daily the envelope of the atmosphere. The velocity of rotation at tho equator is something over 1,000 miles an hour; at thirty degrees distance it is about 150 miles loss. In higher latitudes it is still less, and at the polos nothing. Therefore, whenever tho air moves north or Mout h on the surface of the earth, it will carry with it lessor greater velocity of the rotation than the place it posses over, and will turn into an easterly or westerly wind, according as it approaches or recedes from the equator. Jn tho region of tho sun's greatest heat, the air, rarefied and lighted, is continually rising, and cooler currents come iii on both sides to take tho place of tho ascending volume. As t hese t.ide currents come from a distance of about thirty degrees from the equator, they have, at starting, an eastward velocity of many miles less than the localities thoy will eventually roach. Consequently they will appear to lag behind in all the course of their progress to the equator that is, they will have a. wester

ly motion united with their north and south movements. These are t he 'grout trade, winds, blowing constantly from the northeast on this side, and the southeast on the. other side of the equator; London Truth.

Pretty Women's Portraits. "Is this a fancy picture?" asked a staid old woman, opening her purse to buy a photograph of Wtta, in the character of; a' romping,1 mischievous school -girl. : "No, ma'am' replied the girl behind the counter.' "it's tho picture of an actress;" " ' The woman couldn't dmve dropped the card quicker if it had been red-hot. "'" Here, is a Very pretty one that isn't aii actress," tho sales girl continued. -'Who is she?" ' ' "I don't know; but ; she's not: on the stage." Tho photograph showed a beautiful face; ono unknown in public performauoes; yet manifestly belonging to a Now York woman, for it was tin original work of a well-known photographer. In a round of half a dozen stores where such pictures are largely dealt in, only two more pictures of other than stage favorites were suon. In neither instance were they portraits of women very extensively known iu society. They had undoubtedly boon produced to .meet the demand indicated by the conversation quoted. Tho " professional" beauty is one of the London peculiarities not yet brought to New York. The sale of actresses' pictures do not fall 'off in the least, though the business is not done so much by itself hv separate stores, A photograph 'counter is now a common thing in the fancy-goods cstublishmentsof Broadway and Sixth avenue. Tho buyers are mostly women, ; Who sim

ply desire pretty things for mantels and cabinets, and nre not actuated by admiration of tho originals. These actresses' portraits arc the most 'attractive hbo had at trifling cost, and, therefore, sell rapidly. The purchases by men arc usually for collection of dramatic portraits, though a bashful youth sometimes buys tho counterfeit -presentiment of some burlesquor in a manner indicating an intention to wear it next h;s heart.

Archibald Forbes on American Politeness aud Canadian Slowness, "Tho English have the idea that tho American people are a race of ill-mannered, bad-tempered people. But they never wero morcmistaken in their lives. There are no bad maimers in this country. What has been mistaken for bad manners is the abruptness One says to a ticket agent: 'Can you sell me a ticket to such a place?' He replies: 'Two-fifty,' and hands one out to you. You instantly think: 'Well, you aro an ill-tempered fellow not to answer my question,' but on reflection you become satisfied that is the.most practical way of doing business. You ask a man to move a little. He does not hear you and ho says 'Aye,' instead of 'Beg your pardon, sir. ' But as soon as he catches your meaning he is all politeness aud "takes an interest in your welfare." "Then, do you consider the Americans a sympathetic people?" "Not sympathetic, but human, I missed a train iu the West The brutes in England would have laughed at me and said, You'll bo in-'time for the -next one.-' But what did they say out West? 'Oh, that is too bad,' and immediately helped mo to get out of the difiieulty as much "as was iu their powers I have met no brutes in this country. ' At first I t hought the hotel clerk was one. He will answer your questions in a mechanical sort of way, and throw a key at "you, as much as to say: 'What the devil do you want, anyway? I left the Tremont House, in Boston, on this account. But experience lias taught me a lesson, and I now think tho hotel clerk is the traveling man's best friend. His manners are abrupt because the public doesn't want to hear two words wdien one will suflicc. But if you want to find out anything, to get anything, or to have anything done, you go to the same clerk whom you have thought churlish; and he does it for you readily and satisfactorily." "Have you noticed- any peculiar American habits?" ; "Yes, thero is one thing, and that is the disgusting habit Americaus have of clearing their throats.' Canadians are also peculiar." They never shut a door. I asked a boy in a hotel what a door was for, and he replied, 'To go in. by.' But speaking of Canadians reminds me of my trip through Cauada; It was one continual supper and speech-makiug. I could not get away. The Canadians are genial, gentlemeniy men; men of sterling character, who I believe mean well, lint they aro insufferably slow.

Curiosities of Life Insurance, Life insurance statisticians have furnished some curious figures on which the issue of new policies is based, Among the curious tables furnished, is one showing the comparative mortality of blacks and whites. Taking 1,000 persons as the basis for calculation, it has been found that of that numltfr in Now ' England the death-rate was 21 blacks .to 20 whites. In the Middle States tho rate was for blacks 58 ; for whites, 22.- In the Northwest tho rate was 48 blacks to 10 whites. In the South, the ratio was ;ii blacks to 19 whites, Conversing on this subject with an oiheer of a prominent life insurance company a reporter osk'cd whether discrimination against the colored race was practiced by insurance companies. "Nearly all life insurance companies refuse to insure, colored people," wus the reply. ' Those who do insure them iuko them for short-term endowments. Experience has shown that the colored peo-' pie are, proportionately considered tho shortest-lived people in this country or any other. Further, it has been proved that tho pure negroes' chances for long life arc better than those who are an admixture of black and white." "What disease is found to be -most prevalent among them?" "Consumption is the bane of the colored population. It is especially tin bane of those, of mixed blood." . " What race do you find the longest lived?" " "So far as race types arc concerned, I should judge that the Hebrews have probably shown the greatest longevity." "Do yi'ii find that the rich or the poor take out .the most insurance?" 'In the aggregate, thero aire more of those who arc not rich who get insured. But the rich take out more insurance in proportion -to their numbers." " Which kind keeps up the life insurance longest?' "-The rich. Power of. them allow their policies to lapse. But. of late years, the loss to the insured by lapsed policies has been greatly diminished by tho prevalence of non-forfeiture policies. There is no trouble now for a man to get insurance for . whatever money he can afford to pay. There is much less loss to poor policy holders thhn formerly from lapsed policies. The average value of the policies issued in this country is only $2,200." " What nationality insures the most ?"

"Considering the population by place of nativity, the natives of this country insure more largely thau any other. Considered as a race type, the Hebrews will be found in tho greatest proportion among the insured." New York tiun.

"Muggy Weather."

This is a very expressive phrase for the "dog-days," as thoy average, and the other description tells us so exactly our sensations under the clammy air and

close temperature. "Mug m provincial

English dialect means "fog," but this

probably is traced to, the older Irish word meaning a Cf, a-s our word docs now. So that "muggy weather" is weather in a pup close weather. The New York Mercantile. Journal explains why this kind of weather is always so uncomfortable: "The evaporation of moisture from our skin cools us. Evaporation, as is well known, is always a cooling process. The heat, from being 'sensible, .becomes ' 'Intent, ' as tho philosopers say that is, the heat is used up in making tho vapor and passes oft in it, just as the heat of the lire is used up iu making steam, and really passes off in that. "When this process of evaporation is rapid from our system, we are rapidly cooled, and though the weather is warm, are made comfortable. "But it can be lvpid only when the air is. dry. Air already saturated with nearly as much moisture as it will hold, can, of course, take up very little more from the evaporation of objects on tho surface of the earth. In such weather we mnst go on ati best wo can without the comfort of this cooling process. "The mug is a natural - 'hygrometer, somewhat rude, it is true, to tell us how much moisture thero is in the atmosphere. A real hygrometer only tells the same thing more accurately," Can Coii(uip(ioii bo Cured? npndwh.it Mr. WilbnmC. Digger, a merchant of Bottling Green, V., writes under date of April 4:h,18Sl. Ho says : I firmly believe tbnt AL'cii's Lunj Jialsani will and has cured consumption if taken in time and i rojwr care bo taken of tho Patient both in suitable food and clothing. Six years ago my motlit-r wits attacked with pneumonia. The attending phy.ician some t;mo after1 told mo ihnt tho disease had BcUlod on her Luiign and that she hid tho consumption. Not behoving that a permanent euro could lo effected, but thinking 1 might be able to get an expectorant not containing opium, which would afford some lehof, I inquired of admggist at lhVhmond, Ya., if ho hud any medicine not containing opium, that was a eood expectorant. He then recommended A'tai's l.ung Balsam, which I purchased and induced my mother to try. Bcforo nhs had taken the firt bottle, the improvement in her condition was so marked that I purchased three more bottles. Tho attending physician, ficeing the boncnd.d effect, recommended its continued usp, and in about twelve mouths her InngB were pronounced cured. Upon myrccom mentation many otluaa who had t he consumption have horn cured. I think you can claim for tout medicine the following : Kspectorat:ou without irritation, and healing of the lungs by keeping them free from foreign BiibPtauccB, thus arroniiug and curing Una dread disease. Mr. Digges bavs he writes because ho wants it known that Allen's Iauig Balsam is doing gaod. . . tton't Pour Alcohol ou tlio Fire, and don't take anything that has alcohol in it -to help inllamcd kidneys. Warner's Safu Kidney and Liver Cure is purely vegetable and acts directly upon the kidneys and liver. ' Tlio Pleasures of Business. No human mind is contented without occupation. No human soul is satisfied without an aim or purpose in life. Tho greatest success in life consists not in tho mere accumulation of riches, but in being ablo to acquire-wealth -with a disposition to apdy it iu such a manner that it shall' be a comfort and blessing to others not iu tho mere giving away of money, but in putting people in a way to labor and help themselves. There in no pleasure in oppression. There is no joy in grinding and exacting gold from tho poor; but thero is a great deal of genuine satisfaction in being able to offer steady and honorable employment to tho many willing hands that have nothing to do. One of the greatest enjoyments of the prosperous business man consists iu being able to comfortably provide for the many employes iu his houso and manufactory. Jn doing this he is fulfilling his obligations to society; ho .becomes a useful and honored citizen; business to him is real pleasure; ho en-' joys his successes, when they are fairly won because- he feels that, ho deserves them. When a business man. has tho right kind of a purpose in life ho enjoys his occupation, ho feels a just and worthy pride iu his prosperity, ho is pleased with tlio respect and gratitude of those whom ho directs and controls iu the management of his affairs, aud ho feels thntiu benefitting himself ho is conferring a. favor upon others.
