THE MESSENGERS. BY XTTIE M. HOLTOM. A white-winged measenger came And stood by my side one day. It whispered, “ I never can come again," Then sUeptly flew away. But another came in its place, And, seeing my sad surprise, Low whispered, “ I bear a message from thee To my home beyond the skies.” I fain would have questioned mote 'Ere the wee, fair thing was gone. But I felt that message would speak for me When the day of accounts should come. Another, and still they came; Each had a message for me Of work to be done in the cause of right, And conscience and work must agree. But oft as they glided by, So pure and white when they came, Methought I could trace on their snowy wingt A record of sin with its stain. I glad would have called them back, But alas! they could come no more, And the message I fain would obliterate Is borne to the other shore. Thus the days and years sped on Till to-night, my life most done, The ghosts of my white-winged messengers Come back to me one by one. What meaneth their sad reproach ? Neglect, abuse, e’en the death Of their brightest ones is laid to my charge As I stand with bated breath. “ Who art thou ? ” “ We’re envoys of peace To note what you think, say and do. We whisper of right—if thou heed’st it not Our record must still be true.” Thy Father hath sent us in love ; We ball from a fairer clime. Thou call’st us moments while we are here; When gone, thou call’st us time. ¥ andon, 111. Ettie M. Holton.

A FATAL INHERITANCE.

BY LEIGH L. BROOKNER.

“Is this artist’s blouse becoming to me?” asked Drusilla Sterling of her Cousin Lucreoe. “ What matter whether a garment becomes you or not ? Your attitudes are always graceful and, fascinating. If it were for this alone it would be worth while to be the daughter of a dancer. I wonder what Maxwell St. Ives would say if he knew that ?” Drusilla’s anger was at white heat, but so great was her self-control that to an ordinary observer she would have seemed perfectly calm. Her voice was unusually smooth and low as she replied to Lucrece’s scornfid sjieech : “Thank you for your compliment, though it is not by any means new for me to be told that lam graceful. As for St. Ives knowing the story of my parentage, I mean to tell him as soon as occasion demands ; at present he is too little interested in me or my affairs to care about the story.” Poor Lu felt that her thrust had been without effect. It was rarely she allowed herself to be so bitter, but surely she had occasion. Here was this squinteyed, pale-faced, ill-born and ill-bred creature, who, by some elfish witchery, had won Lucerce’s handsome lover from her. From the first moment Roy Sebert heard Drusilla’s voice he had be en ready to follow her through the world. Only two months from England, and already so unfortunate as to have caused an affianced lover to be unfaithful to his vows ! It was rumored that a young curate on the other side of the water hail committed suicide for her sake. When her cousin left the room Drusilla sat down before the pier-glass and looked at herself steadily, sadly. “My fate follows me. I am doomed to make trouble wherever I go. Lu is jealous, and, therefore, unjust. I have never, by the slightest conscious act, tried to win her lover. Yet Roy is handsome, and the temptation has been very strong sometimes.” It was a source of deep humiliation to Drusilla that her mother had been an actress, and, when she remembered her cousin’s taunt, she resolved to try and make her more unhappy. “I will deny myself the pleasure of being amiable to Roy Sebert no longer. If Cousin Lu, with those lovely dark eyes of hers, cannot enchain a lover, wewill see what the daughter of a dancer can do 1 ” She lifted a small green-velvet shade from the toilet table and placed it over her eyes. An intense and unremitting devotion to philosophical studies had made her nearly blind. Certainly, her eyes were not pleasant to look at, and she said, “ I certainly wish to shock no one by my hideousness.” Perhaps she was also aware that the dark velvet shade would make her forehead the fairer by contrast. She was tall and well deveioped, not at all the sort of woman one would take, to be a coquette. This was what her female friends called her, but the gentlemen without exception denied it.

“She is simply a lovable woman, ami wins our interest without effort,” said her gentleman admirers. “ She is so artful as to conceal ait,” said the bitter and unloved of her own sex. One day, as she sat talking to Maxwell St. Ives, the door opened and little 5-year-old Floy said, “Mr. Devine is come. ” Maxwell’s lip curled, and he remarked : “ I did not know this was public-recep-tion day. I will call again. ” “Pray be seated, Mr. St. Ives. I have something to say to you when my young friend is gone. Fred is privileged, and comes at any time; you honor me with your presence more rarely.” The caller had for excrse a pair of Drusilla’s white kid gloves, that she had left in the village reading-room. She took them with thanks for his thoughtfulness, and as she talked twisted them carelessly in her hands. Fred was pained by this seemingly trival incident. He was romantic and not a little superstitious, for between the palms of the gloves he had placed a dainty blue violet, saying to himself, I will let this blossom be the symbol of my fate. If she places it at her throat or in her hair, if it in any way receives attention or gives pleasure, I shall hope. As she tossed the gloves aside the flower fell broken and unnoticed at her feet. Ah, how different is our dream from the reality. It was the first violet of the year, as it was the first love of Jiis life ! As he aroseuto go she said : “If you will please take me by the hand I will accompany you to the head of the stairs. I want to scold you a little for something I have heal'd. With this dreadful shade that lam obliged to wear I cannot find my way without stumbling. Will you excuse me for the merest moment, Mr. St. Ives?” Now, it was not really necessary for Drusilla to be led about in a house where she was perfectly familiar, but she wished to influence Fred, and knew of no way more certain. How her soft, magnetic hand thrilled him. Why, her lightest touch was like a caress. She talked very earnestly to him about his growing fondness for cards and wine. Said she had heard such rumors, but would not believe them. Would he promise that the gossip should be without foundation ? He would promise anything. He would reform ! Re-entering the parlor, she remarked to Maxwell: “My college boys are so much to me like brothers, I can reprove and admonish them in truly orthodox style without their resenting it. They need some one to scold them a little sometimes.” Maxwell said, in his abrupt, argumentative way: “ Fred Devine does not consider himself merely a boy friend; he thinks himself a man and comes a wooing.” The color crept into Drusilla’s pale face : “Hush, Maxwell St. Ives, I will not believe it. My own regard for this lad is so different. I want him to regard me as a friend ; I want him to look Wto me, and come to ma for counsel

and sympathy; 1 want his esteem; in short, I want earnest, respectful, beautiful friendship, instead of fickle, passionate, fatal love I” She was much excited. All the control she had shown when Lu taunted her was swept away. She had suffered so much through love that she could bear no mention of what had darkened her whole life. “ Whenever and wherever I try to establish a friendship, it is shortly transformed into reckless and despairing love.” All that she said was received in utter silence. Surely he was not man but marble. All this was such deep grief to her, and he did not care. Any other man would have expressed some sympathy ; not so this impassive Northerner, who, cynical and bitter, thought it a fine bit of acting. He had been drawn toward her at first, but an anonymous letter had told him to “beware of Drusilla Sterling,” that she was an actress by birth, and by education, and utterly without heart. From that time he had been on his guard. “Pardon my emotion,” she said, after a moment’s pause. “ Pardon me also if I go on to say more of myself. “ I want you to know if there is any sufficient reason in the past why my present should be so full of passion and pain ! You have before now accused me of being a cdquette ! Upon my honor I do not mean to be. What Ido I cannot help. It is a deep and sad fatality. Let me tell you the story of my birth that you may judge for yourself how I came to inherit my birthright of sorrow. “ My father was an English artist and marriee a woman who made her living by singing and dancing at the theaters. She was as deceitful as she was beautiful. My old nurse Jeandtte has often told me how mother would say to her : ‘ The Englishman is an ogre.’ But to him she would say: ‘You are grand like the gods.’ She won him, not because she loved him, but because he was supposed to be wealthy. He loved her with liis imagination rather than with his heart. He was very susceptible -to beauty and gracefulness, and both were her’s to a remarkable degree. The fact that she was married did not prevent men loving her. She died when I was but three days old, and father and Jeanette brought me to England. “From my tenth year I have been conscious of possessing my mother’s fatal fault of fascination. There is nothing I so much deplore, for I have my father’s honest English heart, and would win love only where I could return it. Until the last few months I have never known what that word meant. You are still silent. I have lost your esteem by confessing my mother’s profession. Oh, Maxwell St. Ives, I trusted you ! Are you not still my friend ?”

In her earnestness she laid both her little caressing hands over both of his. All his reserve and skepticism were swept away. He pressed her hands like rose leaves in liis own, and answered : “ For life—for death 1” Before they parted they were betrothed lovers. Drusilla had some misgivings, and said: “ Can you go to your proud mother and tell her that you have espoused the daughter of a dancer?” “ Drusilla Sterling, I can say anything to anybody. If only you are true to me there is no obstacle to our union that I will not easily overcome. I have given myself to you, body and soul, and God help him who comes between us !” rtlie felt her heart grow cold as he spoke. Was this love also to prove unhappy ? O, it was too sad that in this first glad hour of betrothal there should be a shadow of impending evil. She loved him so ! It was cruel that she could not be free from forebodings. At the moment of farewell she sobbed as if her heart were breaking, and he had scarcely reached his home when a note followed him, saying : ‘ ‘ Maxwell St. Ives : As I love you I must never see you again. I would only bring you unhappiness. It is my sad fate. Forget me and farewell. “ Yours, with love and regret, “Drusilla Sterling.” It was hardly the kind of letter to send a man the world’s width from his heart’s desire! No possible combination of words could have been more certain to bring him to her side. No pleading, no tenderness, could have been more potent than this deeply-despondent dismissal. What would he not venture for her affection ! Other men might love her—they must love her if they but entered her presence—but as for Drusilla herself, she should be so sheltered by his devotion, so hedged about by his attentions and tenderness that she could love no one else. He would not visit her to morrow nor for many days. He would wait until her mood had changed and she was subdued by a desire to see him. He had some power over her that he knew. But his own will was weakest. He must see her. He must hold her in his arms, if only for a moment. It was evening, two weeks from his last visit. That very afternoon Roy Sebert had returned from a fishing excursion, and at 8 o’clock he found Drusilla alone in the brilliantlylighted parlor. Never had he seen her so well dressed, she was careless about her attire in general. Bhe had put on her one rich dress, a myrtle green silk, bought, I think, to match her emerald ring and necklace, Drusilla had persuaded herself that Maxwell would visit her that evening. Oh, could she but have known on what a fatal errand, she would never have let Roy lift her hand to examine the quaint device on her ring. Before she could prevent it, Roy had pressed her hand to his lips. She snatched it angrily away, and at that instant the words flashed through her brain, “ God help him who comes between us. ” At Drusilla’s command Roy instantly left the room. He had been gone but a moment when she heard the report of a pistol, and, fearing she knew not what, she rushed into the hall only to find her worst fears confirmed. Roy Sebert lay there upon the floor in a last agony, the blood issuing from a wound in his heart. Swift as Drusilla had been Lucrece was there before her. She was down upon her knees trying to stanch the blood. Her face was distorted with horror and grief. She was still as death until she found her efforts vain, and, when her lover fell a lifeless burden from her arms, such a shriek echoed through the house as could never be forgotten by those who heard it. Father and mother knew in that instant that their beloved only daughter was a hopeless maniac. Glaring, wildly around, her glance fell upon Drusilla, and, regarding her cousin as the murderer of her lover, she. sprang toward her with insane fury. It required the united strength of Mr. Sterling and his farmhand to loosen her hold of Drusilla’s, throat! O what a night of horror was that! Drusilla lying between life and death, Lucrece raving of her lover, and accusing Drusilla as his murderer. Only one person knew the truth of the affair; that was John Miller, the hired man. He had been to the village, and, on his return, he saw Maxwell St. Ives standing by the gate, looking toward the house. The man glanced up to find what attracted his attention, and there, plain as day, saw Boy Sebert kiss Drusilla’s hand. The next instant Maxwell went rapidly up the walk, entered the house without announcement, and, almost immediately afterward, retraced his steps, mounted his horse,-Sind rode rapidly away. All this was elicited the following day at the Coroner’s inquest, and the fact that Maxwell St. Ives was missing was all that was needed to confirm the yer.

diet, and free Drusilla from any suspicion of direct complicity in the murder. Yet when, after weeks of illness, she came back to reason and life, she felt that she could no longer remain under her uncle’s root “I must live by myself,” she said, sadly ; “I bring sorrow and death into every household I enter.” So it was planned that a cottage should be bought, and Jeanette should be sent for as companion and servant. I was visiting a friend in the country who told me the story. She said to me, one afternoon when we were out driving, “ Would you like to call on Drusilla Sterling? there is the cottage. ” It was a beautiful place. There were English roses trained about the low porch. A woman in French cap met us at the door and conducted us into the room where her mistress sat reading. A stately woman, wearing a black dress and a small black cap, that, with its coronet outline marked by tiny pearls, looked like a small royal crown. The eyes were clear and dark, but infinitely sad. Of late years Jeanette had read to her mistress until Drusilla’s overtaxed eyes had, by rest and carefulness, become as bright as in youth. Her mouth was large, but curved and sweet. She was so grateful to us for coming; she admitted that her life was lonely at times. When my friend said, “I have told Miss Brookner your storv, and she gives you her love and sympathy,’’she reached her right hand out to me. I can never forget the clasp of those soft, caressing fingers. By-and-by she was led to talk of the past and of Maxwell St. Ives. A n an answering to the advertised description of him had died of yellow fever in New Orleans one year after that sum-mer-night tragedy.

SOUTHERN OPINION.

How the Election of Garfield Is Viewed in the South. The Charleston (8. C.) jVew’s and Courier concludes ah editorial on the result of the Presidential election as follows: “We do not for a moment imagine that the American people wish that any State should again be ruled by a Scott, a Moses, or a Bullock. The truth was that the control that was necessary, and even indispensable, in local affairs carried with it considerable influence in national affairs. With the help of two Northern States, the South could elect the President, and be master of the Government. We know, or think we know, that the power would have been exercised wisely. But the conquerors were not ready to be ruled’, even to their own advantage, by the conquered. Nor would the South have been, if Grant, instead of Lee, had surrendered bis army fifteen years since. Beside this latent war feeling, there was the mighty influence of the bankers, merchants and shopkeepers, who had no particular objection to the Democracy coming into place except that it involved a change of some sort, and they wished no change of any sort. Why should they ? Business is good, money is cheap, every department of trade is flourishing. It is true that the currency is iu an unstable condition ; but a coolheaded citizen not in debt would not expect from a party which prostituted itself to the Piaisteds and De La Matyrs a better dollar than would be furnished by Chittenden, Morton and Sherman, and we may add that, with eyes wide open to all its faults, the white people north of the Potomac bad come to the conclusion that there was a better prospect of good government from the Republican party than from the Democracy. Whatever the exact way in which it came about, it is a hard fact that the Government of the United States for the next four years will be Republican in speech, purpose and action. The Republican President will apparently have at his back a Republican Congress. What they will they can do with the Southern States and their people. We hope and believe, however, that tne business interests, wliich were the mainspring of Tuesday’s work, will be opposed utterly to any legislation that would in any way embarrass the agriculture and manufactures, the trade and commerce of the South. It is to the interest of the North and West to take this position. They will do it whenever and as soon as the people of the Southern States cease to be posed by politicians as the wouldbe autocrats of the Union that they did their utmost to destroy. When this species of Southern supremacy is laid, the Northern people will be freer to exhibit their kindly feelings, and one of the first questions the Southern whites will have to ask themselves is, whether the welfare of the South has and is likely to be hindered or advanced by alliance with the Democrats of the North. It does not hurt those gentry to be beaten. They are sure to have just and equal Governments in their States in any event. Not so with the South, In losing' politically the South loses in pocket and in peace of mind. Will the South remain on the losing side, and if so on what terms and for what purpose ? The Southern people, we fancy, will make themselves heard on this subject before the winter is past.” The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times editorially says:

“ Hancock has been beaten by John Kelly’s crowd in New York. He gave the State to Cornell, Conkling & Company last year simply because a friend of Tilden was the nominee. He kept up a constant row and turmoil in the State and city from the time Hancock was nominated until the day of the election. He nominated a municipal ticket which was a fearful load on the electoral ticket, and lost the party fully 20,000 votes. His horrible, brutal, libelous war on the proprietor of the Herald, has cost another 10,000. He was charged with the conduct of the city canvass, and promised a full vote of the party. His pet for Mayor goes in by a few hundred, where a popular man could have had 60,000 majority. New York would have elected Hancock. Mr. Kelly threw it away to gratify his evil temper, and because he thought he could by no less violent means grab the city patronage. It is foolish to talk about the bloody-shirt and humbug business issues so long as we tolerate such a magazine of political nytro-glycerine in the middle of the party. Kelly must be unloaded. We cannot succeed with him. We can organize a decent and honorable defeat without him. As for the solid South and kindred issues, they have not beaten the Democrats. The North understands that the South is solid from the most natural motives. New Jersey, California, Nevada, and probably Oregon, as States, were not afraid of the solid South. Three million Northern voters cast their votes with the South. That war-cry kept the old-timers in line. Internal quarrels among the Democrats, and stupid blunderings, did more for the Republicans than they did for themselves to secure the victory.” The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Constitutionalist says : “The South at least has the satisfaction of knowing that she kept her part of the bargain, and if the “hero of Gettysburg” is not President it is not our fault We think, too, that she has for the last time been led, lamb-like, to the slaughter. Her experiments with loyal civilians and military heroes have not been propitious in the past, and the future holds out no hopes in that direction. What she will do in the future time must disclose. Much depends upon how great a gain the Republicans have made in the Senate and House, and what their policy will be toward this section. The South will be kept reasonably solid for her own protection and for the purpose of preserving the balance of power after the next apportionment, whets the political domain shifts from East to West. The tremendous problem now confronting the two parties and all sections is, Will the administration of Garfield be, in case of the control of Congress, modeled upon that of Hayes or dictated by Grant and Conkling, with Zachariah Chandler’s spirit as the inspiring goblin ? Until we know the exact nature of that administration we remain in abeyance. Meanwhile we may as well prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.” '1 he Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution comments as follows : “It is the culmination of a series of blunders, beginning with the Potter Committee and ending with the surrender of the party to the selfish whims of an element which bad John Kelly lor its commanding General. It would appear that the line of sectionalism has been sharply drawn by the voters of the North ; but there is nothing depressing in this fact. We are willing that the North should draw a sectional line in politics, if the South be permitted to draw a line with respect to progress and improvement of those conditions and forces which make a people happy in their fields, their workshops and their homes. Wo have a prosperous future before us, and to this end we should look intently. We have the cause of public education to promote and the welfare of a great and growing section to foster. The South expected httle more from Gen. Hancock’s administration than it will ask from Gen. Garfield. We want nothing more than simple, exact, absolute justice. If the new President owes nothing to the South he at least owes something to the country, and we shall be glad to see him cancel this debt by giving us an administration as fair, just and as clean as that of Mr. Hayes.” The greatest anxiety is experienced lest there should be a flaw in the title to property; vet a flaw in the title of health—a Cough or Cold—is disregarded. Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup removes all such at once. Ex-Empress Eugenie will spend the bolidavs in the Isle of Wight,

BRITISH OPINION.

Comment of the London Pre*. on Our PreMidential Election. The London papers comment freely upon our great national political contest. The Times says: “ There are good reasons for believing that Gen. Garfield’s administration will be like the present—moderate in policy. Though we must regret that civil-service reform and free trade have been equally thrust into the background during the campaign, and are evidently not for the moment eagerly desired by any considerable proportion of the American people, the abatement of the animosities on both sides which were kindled even so recently as the contest of 1876 by the Southern question permits us to hope that very soon the sectional divisions of the republic will be obliterated, and be supplanted by a division of parties unconnected with the slave system and the civil war. The foreign policy of the Republican party, in spite of the friction caused by the war and the Alabama claims, has been on the whole friendly to this country and to peace all over the world.” The Post remarks : “ With the result, so far as European powers are interested in American politics, we on this side of the Atlantic have reason to be satisfied. Whether a Republican or a Democrat rules at Washington is a matter which now exclusively interests the citizens of the republic; nor is it probable even if the twenty years of uninterrupted reign of the Republican party had been now broken that the relations subsisting between the United States and ourselves would have undergone any perceptible change. We nave had our differences of late years with the American Government, but these differ ences have been happily terminated. We therefore have every reason to conclude that during the next four years of Republican supremacytbe relations between the United States and Great Britain will not only be undisturbed but be thoroughly cordial.” The Advertiser says: “We cannot but regret the result. In the first place there is no comparison between the merits of two men. Garfield is third-rate Republican party politician, belonging not perhaps to the school of the Blaines, Conklings and Camerons, but quite m little to that of the reformers like Adams or administrators like Sherman. He is the nominee of the wire-pulling interest. Hancock is, with few exceptions, the most distinguished, and, without a single exception, we believe, the most loyal, honest, and high-minded soldier still in the active service of the Union.” The Standard says: “ The'administration of Gen. Garfield is not likely to differ materially in policy from that of Nir. Hayes. It is, indeed, probable enough that the old Senatorial ring which was master of the situation during Gen. Grant's second Presidency, and which strove hard to carry the third-term movement to a successful issue, will become more powerful than it has been of late, and will once more monopolize and employ for its own purposes the patronage of the Government and its Executive influences.” The Poll Mali Gazette says : “it would be a mistake to regard Gen. Garfield’s election as a triumph of the politicians who brought discredit on Gen. Grant. The strong feelitg in the United States in favor of the honest and patriotic policy of the present Cabinet would teach far less shrewd men than Gen. Garfield to follow the lines laid down by Mr. Hayes. For England the situation is satisfactory, as it resulted in a victory for the party which is most iuclined to encourage satisfactory relations between England and America.” The Daily News says : “The chances seem to be that during the next four years, contrary to the expectations of some politicians, the South will become more reconciled to the Union, and the North will not be divided against itself. The result is one of more importance than foreign observers fully recognize.”

OHIO AT WORK.

[From the Marietta Register.] * Our State having secured the highest honor of the late convention —the nominee for President —we must begin the work of electing the native to the Presidency. Lest this prove too much for those engaged in it, the following from Mr. T. Triem, our popular druggist, will afford a suggestion of relief; I take pleasure adding to the numerous testimonials regarding the efficacy of Hamburg Drops. I sell largely of the remedy; it gives -better satisfaction than any other medicine. So many remarkable cures by its use have come to my notice, that I deem it a duty to testify in its behalf.

Combats of the Ocean.

Among the extraordinary spectacles sometimes witnessed by those who “go down to the sea iu ships,” none are more impressive than a combat for the supremacy’ between the monsters of the deep. The battles of the sword-fish and the whale are described as Homeric in grandeur. The sword-fish go in schools, like whales, and the attacks are regular seafights. When the two troops meet, as soon as the sword-fish have betrayed their presence by a few bounds in the air, the whales draw together and close up their ranks. The sword-fish always endeavors to take the whale in the flank, either because its cruel instinct lias revealed to it the defect in the carcases—for there exists near the brachial fins of the whale a spot where wounds are mortal—or because the flank presents a wider surface to its blow. The sword-fish recoils to secure a greater impetus. If the movement escapes the keen eye of his adversary, the whale is lost, for it receives the blow of the enemy and dies instantly. But, if the whale perceives the sword-fish at the instant of the rush, by a spontaneous bound, it springs clear of the water its entire length, and falls on its flank with a crash that resounds for many leagues, and whitens the sea with boiling foam. The gigantic animal has only its tail for its defence. It tries to strike its enemy, and finishes him at a single blow. But, if the active sword-fish avoid the fatal tail, the battle becomes more terrible. The aggressor springs from the water in his turn, falls upon the whale, and attempts, not to pierce, but to saw it with the teeth and garnish its weapon. The sea is stained with blood; the fury of the whale is boundless. The sword-fish harrasses him, strikes him on every side, kills him, and flies to other victories. Often the sword-fish has not time to avoid the fall of the whale, and contents itself with presenting its sharp saw to the flank of the gigantic animal which is about to crush it. It then dies like Maccaieus, smothered beneath the weight of the elephant of the ocean. Finally the whale give a few last bounds into the air, dragging its assassin in its flight, and perishes as it kills the monster Of which it was tne victim.

Boston Police Memoranda.

[From the Boston Weekly Geo. E. Savory, Esq., Asst. Police Clerk, refers to a case of agonizing sciatic suffering of frequent occurrence, aud which was cured by St. Jacobs Oil in less than half an hour.

Man and Woman.

The following beautiful passage is from “ Henry’s Commentary on the Bible “Adam was first formed, then Eve, and she was made of the man, and for the man, all of which are urged as reasons for humility, modesty, silence and submissiveness of that sex in general, and particularly the subjection and reverence which wives owe to their husbands. Yet man being made last of the creation, as the best and most excellent of all, Eve being made after Adam, and out of him, put an honor upon that sex, as the glory of the man. If the man is the head, she is the crown, a crown to her husband, the crown to the visible creation. The man was dust refined, but the woman was dust doubly refined, one remove further from the earth. Woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not out of his head, to rule him, nor out of his feet, to be trampled upon by him ; but out of his side, to be equal with him ; under his arm, to be protected ; and near his heart, to be beloved. ”

Appetite and Digestion.

Appetite is one thing, digestion clearly another. A man may feel ravenons, and consume large quantities of material containing the elements of nutriment, but be unable to appropriate the supply furnished, or, in other words, to nourish himself. It is not so with rest. Mere inaction may be secured without rest, and idleness without the restoration of energy. The faculty of recovery and recuperation after exercise is in direct proportion to the vitality of the organ rested. This faculty is not to be called into action by inactivity ! It follows that relief and recovery from the effects of what is improperly called

a overwork” cannot be obtained by simply “ going away for change ” or by indulgence in idleness. Health-seekers make a fatal error in trying to recover lost powers by mere diversion of energy.

LATER ELECTION RETURNS.

Garfield’s majority in Illinois is estimated at 35,000. The delegation ifi Congress stands 13 Republicans to 6 Democrats. The Republicans have a majority in the Legislature of 24 on joint ballot. The next Wisconsin Legislature will stand as follows : Senate, 24 Republicans, 9 Democrats ; Assembly, 78 Republicans, 21 Democrate, and 1 Independent. Complete returns from Connecticut show a plurality for Garfield of 2,570. It is thought that Hancock’s majority in North Carolina will reach 10,000 ; that the Congressional delegation will include one Republican, and the Legislature will be Democratic. San Francisco dispatches state that later returns settle it beyond doubt that Garfield has carried California by a plurality over Hancock of between 2,000 and 3,000, and that the Legislature is Republican. The Congressional delegation stands : Page and Pacheco, Republicans, and Rosecrans and Berry, Democrats. Oregon’s vote is very close, but the returns indicate that Garfield will have a majority of about 300. Garfield's plurality in Kansas is between 50,000 and 60,000, anil the Legislature is over--whelmingly Republican. Garfield’’s plurality in Massachusetts is 53,000. Morse, Democrat, is re-elected to Congress from Boston. In Pennsylvania the pluralitv for Garfield is 36.000. Ludlow's majority over Potts, for Governor of New Jersey, is about 600. The majority for the Democratic electoral ticket is about 2,000. In Dakota, Pettigrew, Republican, is elected to Congress by 5,000 majority. Returns complete and partial from 66 counties cut of 94 in Tennes-.ee give Hawkins, for Governor, 76,166; Wright, 64,787; Wilson, 49.316. Owing to dissensions among the Democrats on account of the State debt issue, the Republicans came within four votes of securing the Legislature. In Nevada, the returns come in slowly. The State is close on Electors and Congress. The Legislature is probably Democratic on joint ballot. The Senate is Republican. The entire Republican State ticket is elected in Michigan by a large m jority; the Congressional delegation is unanimously Republican, and Garfield carried the State by abou. 35,000 or 40,000 majority. Hancock's pluralitv in West Virginia is about 12,000. The Territorial election in Arizona resulted as follows : G. H. Oury, Democrat, delegate to Congress; M. H. Sherman, Republican, Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Legislature is Republic in by a large majority. The majority for Hancock in Nevada is 600 A San Francisco dispatch of the 6th says that returns from all the counties in California except Del Norte, which is estimated the same as the last Presidential election, give Hancock 96 plurality. A few small precincts yet to hear from are not expected to alter the result much. It is certain that the Republicans will get one elector, as Judge Terry, on the Democratic ticket, is known to be scratched several bundled. A New York dispatch says the latest returns from the counties in New York State make the majority for Garfield and Arthur 23,069. These figures may be slightly changed by official reports, but" the result will not be affected materially. Official vote of Delaware: Hancock, 15,183; Garfield, 14,150. An Indianapolis dispatch says that returns Hom seventy-three counties in Indiana show a net Democratic gain of 307, or, to speak more properly, a falling off from Porter’s vote of 307. The remaining twenty counties to be heard from will add still slightly to these figures, thus reducing Garfield’s plurality a little below that of Porter. The majority of Garfield in lowa over Hancock will exceed 80,000, and probably go 85,000. Official returns from forty-eight of the sixtyseven counties of Pennsylvania, and careful estimates from each of the other counties, make Garfield’s plurality 37,341. White, Republican, is elected to Congress in the N:nth (Kentucky) district over Tinner, Democrat, by a majority of 1,500. The Kansas Legislature is almost unanimously Republican. A St. Louis dispatch says that the returns from the Sixth Congressional district of Missouri elect Hazeltine, Greenback-Republican, over Waddle, Democrat, by about 500 majority. This is the fourth Democratic loss in the State. The Greenbackers have gained two and the Republicans one.

Arousing Its Readers.

An alarm of fire at midnight is a startling tiling, but not half so startling to many who hear it as would be the sudden knowledge of their own dangerous physical condition. Thousands of thousands are hurrying to their graves because they are carelessly indifferent to the insidious inroads of disease and the means of cure. It is the mission of H. H. Warner & Co., with their Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, to arouse men to a sense of their danger and then cure thsm.— Memphis Appeal. A man in Jersey City died the other day from hydrophobia eleven years after a dog had bitten him. The next thing somebody will be taken sick of colic because Eve ale an apple.— Buffalo Courier. Are you wearing out from excessive labor, care, grief or old age ? If so, then no food or medicine can restore your strength, your sleep, and your spirits like Malt Bitters, made of Unfermented Malt. Hops, Calisaya and Iron. When women are the advisers the lords of creation don’t take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they had intended to do; then they act upon it, and if it succeeds' they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it; ii it fails they generally give her the whole. —Louisa "Alcott.

See their advertisement in this paper, headed, “On Thirty Days’ TriaL” Rheumatism.—Rheumatism is a disease of the blood. The blood in this disease is found to conta nan excess of fibrin. Vegetine acts by converting the blood from its diseased condition to a healthy circulation. One l ottie of Vegetine will give relief; but, to effect a permanent cure, it must be taken regularly, and may take several bottles, especially in cases of long standing. Try it, and your verdict will be the same as that of thousands before you, who say : “ I never found so much relief as from the use of Vegetine,” which is compounded exclusively of barks, roots and herbs. Malarial fevers can be prevented, also other miasmatic diseases, by occasionally using Dr. Sanfords Liver Limgorator, the oldest general Family Medicine, which is recommended as a cure for all diseases caused by a disordered liver.

VEGETINE Will CURE JHEUMHISM. Rheumatism is a Disease of the Blood; to Cure Rheumatism it must be treated as a Blood Disease. BEV. WM. T. WORTH Recommends VEGETINE for Rheumatism and Sciatica. Fam. Rivek, Msm, May 13,1879. Mb. H. R. Stevens: Dear Str—For some years I have been, at times, much troubled with acute attacks of Rheumatism. I especially suffered tortures from Sciatica. By the advice of friends, who knew the benefits conferred by VEGETINE. I began its use, and since that time I have had no attack like those I previously suffered. For some time past I have had no return of the trouble, except occasionally a faint intimation, which disappeared upon taking a few doses of the Vegetine. I also take pleasure in recording my testimony in favor of its excellent effect in abating an inveterate Salt Rheum, and I count it no small pleasure to have been thus made free. Respectfully, WM. T. WORTH, Pastor First M. E. Church. Has Relieved and Cured Sufferers of Rheumatism by the Thousands. READ THIS: If you have Rheumatism, take the Mfedicine that will Cure You. Butler Switch, Jennings Co., 1nd.,1 May 19,1879. f Mb. H. R. Stevens: Dear Sii —Having in our family received great benefit from the Vegetine manufactured by you, I thought I would give you the facta of the case, hoping it might meet the eye of some suffering one, who might thus be relieved. I have a grandchild about ten years of age, who, two years ago or over, had a severe attack of rheumatism, and for two long years was under the care of as good a physician as we have in this county, and yet all this time grew worse, till we gave her up, and thought she must die. She was much deformed, and we were told by a doctor that, if she lived, she would always tie deformed; but. thanks to Vegetine, she is to-day perfectly well, and as straight as an arrow. Last December wo abandoned all hope of the doctor doing anything for her, and commenced using Vegetine, according to your directions. When the first bottle was used up we could not see much improvement; but we continued on the second bottle, and could see some change for good. She took six bottles, and, thank God, a complete cure was effected in every respect. Yours truly, G. BURGESS. Vegetine is Sold by ail Druggists.
