MOW*. 'The roses, nay I love them not, They only bring to me Sad thoughts that waken in my heart A bitter memory. I loved her as a man can love But once—end even yet, Though I have learned how to forgive, ’Tie harder to forget Since then the summer sun has gone Full oft o’er bill and plain; For me no sun can ever make This earth so bright again. I’ve seen the roses bloom and fade Full oft since then, but they Will never look the same to me Until my dying day. The white rose had a purer tint. The red a deeper glow, They breathed a sweeter perfume then— Ah me, how long ago! 5 I love them not, but they recall All that I would forget— A faithless woman whom I loved, And whom I must love yet. When summer roses die no more, When life knows no regret, When summer sunshine fades no more, Then, then, I may forget.

A NATURAL MISTAKE.

“I say, Prince!” Prince Winslow, fishing under a fragrant bank of sweet fern, looked up and beheld the good-natured countenance of his friend, Dr. Denleigh. “Helen wants you to come up this afternoon, if you can.” “Have they come?” “Yes.” . v , The two men smiled into each other s faces. The younger one looked at his watch. “I shall have to go home and dress. Tell Mrs. Denleigh that I will be around about 4 o’clock. ” So the arrival of the Misses Selwyn spoiled a delightful day’s fishing for Prince; but he accepted the situation quite good-naturedly. Indeed, perfect as the weather was and excellent as his luck, he no sooner heard the expected news than a sudden willingness to forego the joys of the seen for the delights of the unseen took possession of him. And as soon as the Doctor’s cheery face disappeared from the bank he withdrew his patent fly from the water, wound up the lino, and with his fishing-rod oyer his shoulder, began to ascend the winding path to the road. Pretty girls were not plenty in Redfield; and the Misses Selwyn had been described to him as very pretty, also accomplished and very charming. They were the orphan nieces of the Denleighs —heiresses in a small way—and had arrived to spend the delightful month of October with their relatives. Now, Mrs. Helen Denleigh was a nice little woman, but not altogether disinterested, any more than the rest of mortals. Pretty girls were rare in Redfield, but eligible young men were not; and she certainly had no objections to her husband’s neices making nice matrimonial connections with her. In fact, she had had her fair and debonair young neighbor, Prince Winslow, in her mind when extending the invitation to the girls. He was a good-natured fellow, cultured and intelligent, wealthy, and belonging to one of the best families in the country. Since both the girls were beautiful and either could make him a suitable wife, why should not this young scion of a titled colonial family become Mrs. Helen’s nephew? The lazy October afternoon was at its richest when Prince came up the Autumn red avenue of the Maples. A servant meeting him at the door of the mansion, said that the ladies were in the garden, and Mrs. Denleigh would like to have him come there. He turned away and went down among the flowers, but scarcely had he taken a dozen steps in the direction indicated, when he stopped in alarm. A pretty figure rose among the shrubbery, reaching out for a branch of crimson leaves, and as quickly went down with a scream of terror.

Prince comprehended instantly that the girl had lost her balance and fallen into the pond. He heard the splash and other screams of fright. In an instant he was on the spot. Though the pond was a mere toy-pond for fish, he saw instantly that the whitefaced girl was beyond her depth, and would soon be drowned but for timely help. The other ladies, who were running away for assistance, returned at sight of him, and besought the young man, incoherently, to “save Amy!” as he flung off his coat and sprang into the water. The chill or shock, had made the girl quite unconscious by the time he reached her, and lifting her petite form in his arms, he waded out of the water. ‘ ‘Let some one who is dry take her up to the house—-she will come to in a minute,” he said, trying to rid himself of some of his superfluous moisture. Two of the men-servants wrapped the dripping girl in a blanket, from the grass, and bore her away, while Mrs. Denleigh besought him to follow her, and allow her to furnish him with some dry clothing. Now, it had not occurred, so far, to Prince to f«-ll in love; but, looking up, he beheld a face which, while regarding him with concern, was so altogether lovely that he then and there lost his heart ’“Honor, my dear, please lend Mr. Winslow that blanket from the hammock; and, Prince, do hurry—there’s a good fellow! If you get your death, the doctor will say that it was all my fault—that I did not take immediate precautions.” “ I’ll run to the kitchen, auntie, and

get something hot for them to take,” said Honor, “ Yes, do, dear,” and Prince followed now quite willingly to the house. “I don’t think it would hurt me to walk home for another suit of clothes,” he said: “but I will take a glass of Jamaica ginger before I go,” stalking up the path, wrapped in a red blanket, like an Indian. “She is very pretty,” in an aside to Mrs. Denleigh, as Honor disappeared. “Yes, charming!” nodded Mrs. Denleigh, well pleased. “So it's to be Amy. The accident has settled the whole thing,” she said to herself. Thus she took no pains to show off Honer’s graces, but henceforth Amy’s perfections were strenously dwelt upon. I do not know why Prince fell in with this state of thing. He understood Mrs, Denleigh’s mistake very well. Perhaps it was because something in Honor Selwyn’s sweet, strong face made him fear to dare his fate; and day by day he hugged his secret. Fortunately, Amy, young and elastic, recovered instantly from her cold-water plunge. There was week after week of exceptional fine weather, and Mrs. Denleigh meant to make her nieces’ stay as enjoyable and attractive as possible. Rides, drives and sails followed each other in merry succession. Other young people were invited to the Maples, adding to and enjoying the holiday. If Mrs. Denleigh had had more leisure in which to observe the signs of the times she might have discovered her error in regard to Prince; but her duties as hostess to so much company left her little leisure to make investigations. The sisters were seldom far apart, and seeing Prince generally near Amy, she did not suspect that she had jumped to a hasty aind wrong conclusion. But this is not the mistake of my story. I must go on to tell you that bonny Prince Winslow, full of youth and grace, but equally full of conflicting hope and fear, came lightly up the Maple avenue, one morning,* and found the parlors and library deserted. He had entered unannounced at the open hall door, expecting, as usual, to peot iobm of the ladle* $ but so on» wmi

to be seen, and, passing on, he seated himself in the little music-room, where he knew Honor usually came at eleven o’clock to practice. He had seated himself and carelessly taken up a book, when he heard carriage wheels grind the gravel of the drive, and in a moment a servant conducted a young gentleman into the parlor. His elegant appearance and evident eager anticipation of meeting some one, instantly attracted Prince’s attention. A sudden fear had come over him when there was a rustle of silk and a light step, and Honor advanced' into the apartment. “Ronald!” she exclaimed. ' The stranger sprang to meet her, received both her outstretched hands in either of his and then raised first the one and then the other to his lips. Prince could not see Honor’s face; but the joy of thegentleman’s there was no mistaking. “How is my darling? Tell me,” he said. Prince could play eavesdropper no longer. He advanced into the room. “I beg your pardon. Is Mrs. Denleigh in?” he said. Honor turned with a start, but instinctively regained her self-possession. “Auntie has gone to see a sick neighbor, Mr. Winslow. Let me introduce you to an old friend, Mr. Raleigh. ” If poor Prince was almost speechless, Mr. Ronald Raleigh was ease and vivacity itself. He seemed overflowing with a happiness which, to Prince, at least, was not contagious. •In a few minutes he had turned his back upon the Maples, not to return. It had been a brief, bright time; but all a delusion. Honor could not care for him. She was engaged to another, and all his love had been in vain.

The dregs of his bright glass were bitter enough; but Mrs. Denleigh, discerning half the truth—on observing Raleigh during a few days Prince was invisible at her house—remembered her duty, to call upon her neighbor, Mrs. Winslow. If she had had opportunity to tell Prince what she believed, she would have builded better than she knew; but Prince, fast growing misanthropic, had put his gun over his shoulder and started for the woods, to avoid her. j JThere he passed the long day, while Mrs. Denleigh, after waiting long in vain for his return, re-entered her ponyphaeton, much vexed. “This making matches is the most trying work! Why couldn’t he have fallen in love with Honor?” she said. Meanwhile Honor, who knew the truth, and all the truth, was remembering distressfully that she was a woman and that all the advances must come from a man. The time for their departure from Redfield was drawing near. Mr. Raleigh, at her suggestion, was an invited guest at the Maples. And day after day passed and Prince did not come near. In fact, that young gentleman was talking of a long-projected plan of his for going to Europe. At length Honor heard of this. “Mr. Winslow will not go abroad without coming to .see you, auntie, I hope,” she observed one day. “I shall be very much offended if he does,” remarked Mrs. Denleigh prompty. Pitying Prince, whom she sincerely liked, and partly blaming herself for the sorrow that had come upon him, she sent him a note, bidding him come to the Maples. She wrote: ‘ ‘ Don’t be a foolish boy. If you knew what a noble girl Honor is, you would blush at your foolishness in loving such a little goose as Amy. But come to the Maples at once; I shall never forgive you if you allow my nieces to go home without your most courteous farewell!” Prince’s brow ached with thought and grief, and he did not make much of this letter. He recognized Mrs. Denleigh’s old error,, however, that he loved Amy. “I will not be rude, and offend all my friends,” he said, screwed up his courage to the sticking point, and went to the Maples. It chanced that he again crossed the familiar portal unannounced, and found the reception rooms unoccupied. But in the same moment there was a light footstep, the rustle of silks, and Honor, bright and beautiful, looked up into his face.

“I thought—l was afraid you were not coming again,” she said softly. He stood holding her delicate hand; he could not speak for a moment. “Honor/’ he said, at last, “I forced myself to come here to-day. It was hard to see you again.” “Why?” she asked. There was something strangely gentle and yielding in the soft brown eyes, and in spite of that troublesome mistake, they stood so near together she could feel the heavy beating of his heart. “Because,” he said, with unconscious reproach in his blue eyes, “I love you; and I saw your meeting with Mr. Raleigh. ” Honor had been unusually pale. ~ The color came brightly now into" her smooth, olive cheeks, as she turned and pointed through the window at one of the garden walks. Amy and Mr. Ronald Raleigh were strolling there. “You made a very natural mistake,” she said simply. “Will you let me tell you how it is ?” He bowed, and they sat down, side by side. “Amy and I have long lived with an uncle and aunt who are not on good terms with Mr. Raleigh’s people. But for this he is not to blame, and is himself unexceptional in character. For a year past he and Amy have loved each other. Ronald, however, could never visit her, and they were both very unhappy, until I decided it to be right that I should befriend Ronald. For their sakes I first suggested this visit, that they might meet here. Aunt Helen was not in the plot; but she knows how it is now, and has no objection to Mr. Raleigh. They will be married soon, and I—” “And you?” cried Prince, enraptured with hope. “And I love you!” said dear Honor, hiding her blushes on his breast.

An Amusing Incident.

The conservative and courteous Bishop of some two-thirds of the commonwealth of the Keystone State gives a humorous incident that actually occurred during one of his visitations at one of the principal towns not a hundred miles from Harrisburg. Good Judge L. is not only an earnest churchman but very fond of showing his neighbors the way to church also. At any special service he was sure to have a couple or more of his legal friends in his pew with him, being very attentive himself both to the service and to his friends, showing them the places in the prayer book, and trying to keep them contented. At a recent visitation of Bishop H. the Judge was seen passing the books, and at every change in the service handing over other books, and then devoutly continuing his own duties. It was Sunday morning, and by the time the solemn litany was reached the visitors, having no especial interest in the affair beyond pleasing the J udge, and consenting to listen to a good square sermon which he had promised them, whenever in the sacred programme it should bfl presented, began to tire of the “ performance,” and, with a freedom more becoming the court room or street than the sanctuary, one of them, finding it impossible to keep up the connection of things, blurted out in a good stage whisper, “Judge, this beats the devil!” “That is the intention— * Good Lord, deliver us,’ ” replied the Judge, in pretty S' ositive tones, and in a sort of monotone iat came pear to a seeming addition to the ohurch'i liturgy not; jn the book,— JSfaqw’i Magwiint,

POLITICAL NOTES.

But what’s to become of Gorham and Riddleberger? That’s the question. Is 1884, who will there be in itto Republican camp to save Indiana and secure New York? For want of a Dorsey and a Roscoe, star-route steals and custom house sops, is this unhappy country to go headlong to the devil and the Democrats? And what is to become of repudiation in Virginia ? Isn’t the Republican party going to stand by the Readjusters of the Old Dominion ? Is Mahone to be left upon the Senate floor to be swept out with the spittoons, among which he seems to have become entangled ? When a mother finds her first-born and only babe doing the slightest thing unusual, says the Chicago Times, no matter how harmless it may seem to the practiced eye, she is in agony until the doctor, for whom she has dispatched in hot haste, arrives. And the Republican Senators —not a zephyr blows, hot a rumor flies, but in an agony of fear they cry : “For God’s sake, quick, another caucus I They dare not step unless with the advice and consent of caucus,, They are caucus-bound, caucUs-gOVerped, caucusbossed.

Mb. Dawes’ hand continues on the rudder of the Steering Committee, but the pesky craft has sprung a- leak. Mr. Dawes will not call up his resolution to proceed to the election of a shameless defender of the star-route thieves as Secretary of the Senate, and a Virginia Repudiationist as its Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr. Mahone’s vote is of no consequence now, and the Republicans will doubtless swear that it is a great mistake and that they never meant to aid repudiation in Virginia, For the Senator from Massachusetts there is this consolation about it all: Dawes is still at liberty to go on telling whoppers, and no man in the Senate has giVen greater evidence of skill in that direction. Bitterly does Mahone rue the situation. Wringing his hands, he exclaims in the presence of a correspondent: “ Well, - this places me in a devil of a fix. I don’t like it. I don’t understand it, to begin with, Garfield’s my friend and Conkling’s my friend-, I waiit them to be friends; I hfive fegretted the events of the past few weeks, in connection with these New York nominations ; still I hope th it it will all come out right in the end. I want to see the Republican party solid—every element in it in harmony with every other. It is the party of progress, of liberty, of liberal ideas. It ought not to be torn with dissensions and strifes.” Mahone used to labor un derthe impression that he was the center of the universe, but he’s finding out that his importance was merely nn accident, it being his vote, not himself, that was wanted; He iioW sinks back to his ordinary level, which is low-water mark. —Chicago Times. When the Morey letter was unearthed Garfield shrieked to Jewell, “ Pursue the villains.” They are not caught yet. Nobody outside of the White House will ever know whether Garfield wrote the Morey letter or not. So -will it be with Brady and the star-route contractors. Nobody in a high position will be molested. Brother Dorsey knows too much. He knows just how In-liana was carried, how much it cost and where the money came from. The story that Postmaster James does not care whilhei his investigation leads him will do to amuse the elderly children who swear by Harper's Weekly, but nobody who ever saw a national convention will believe it. A few contractors may be indicted, but neither Mr, James nor Atty. Gen. MacVeagh -will- be permitted to disturb a hair in the head of either Brady or Dorsey. A Democratic administration would have got to the bottom of the postal frauds in short order, but the money contributed by Brady and collected by Dorsey rendered a Democratic administration inconsistent with the “forms of law.” If there was a thief in the case, Mr. Garfield consented to him, and the villain will not be ptu-sued.— New York Mercury.

NEXT!

[From the Cincinnati Enquirer.) It is now the President’s turn to tell what he knows and thinks of Conkling. Then the country will learn from the liighest Republican sources of authority and information of what sort of material both wings of the Republican party are composed. From the lips of the commanding Republican Senator and from the lips of the Republican President the people of the United States will learn what are the purposes, what the mission, what the nature of the Republican party. Since the 4th of March last the Republican party has done more to impeach itself, more to bring itself into disrepute with the fair-minded people of the country than the entire Democratic party has been able to in fifteen years. The two parties were exactly evenly balanced last November. The accidents of the electoral machinery gave the Presidency to Garfield, while Gen. Hancock carried one-half of the States and onehalf of the popular vote. Since that time, within two months, the Republican party has lost a big fraction of the public esteem. First came the Mahone bargain—a most disreputable affair. Then came Riddleberger, as the great national issue. Then came Gorham, Brady’s partner, editor and defender, as another great national issue. Then came the Brady exposure, showing by what men and by what methods Garfield was elected. The people of the country suddenly opened their eyes to the fact that they had elected a President, not under the lead of patriotic impulses, but by the manipulations of public peculators, by the potency of stolen money; so that the same men raped the public treasury and the public opinion. The Dorseys, who were famously dined, and the Bradys, who were illustriously invited to do all they could to elect Garfield, were caught one day with their masks off. The country knows a part only of what was thus disclosed. But it may be urged that these men were not representative liepublicans. To be sure, Mahone, who constitutes one-half of the Republican majority in the Senate, is not a Republican, and Riddleberger, to put whom in office the Republican Senators blockaded the public business two months, is not a Republican. These were the evidences of an infamous bargain whose end was spoiled. But Gorham had been Secretary of the Senate ten years, and is the editor of the Republican organ at the capital, and Brady was Second Assistant Postmaster General of the United States. These may be called representative Republicans. But if it is still said that this is only the sole of the foot of the Republican party, let Jis look upward to the crown of its head. We shall find that it is spoils still. The statement of the case of Conkling vs. The. President, as given by the Senator, is before the public. It is in order now to hear the case of The President vs. Conkling, which we doubtless shall soon do. We shall then have heard from both wings of the Republican party, and shall have learned its character from the crown of its head to the sole of its foot. The country will note the fact that this quarrel in which the President and the leading Republican Senator are engaged has about it no aroma of patriotism, no suspicion of a great, broad principle, on either hand. The country knows that these charges, if true, indicate a disgraceful state of affairs in the party that elected the Executive, It will

Pbjfc useless to attempt to make rthte President the scapegoat for all of the offenses of the party. The country will also believe that it is in the power of the President to make L truthful charges against Senator ConkI ling equally damaging or more damaging. The President should, in self-de-fense, state his side of the question or authorize a statement The President owes this to himself, no matter what its effect upon Conkling, for Conkling has iiot spared him. Then, from the two great leaders, “ representative Republicans,” we shall all learn the truth about the entire Republican party. There is no wide-spread sympathy in the land for Conkling. At most he has only been the victim of his own methods. The profound sympathy is for the republic which is controlled by such methods and such men. Conkling is probably the most distinguished representative of the spoils system in government to be found in the republic to"day; His own statement of his own game is a confession that he was, or may be, beaten at the spoils game by the President. He acknowledges himself guilty of the same offenses with, which he charges the President; By his own statement, neither he nor the President rose in patriotism above the level of “ the swag;” and of such is the Republican party. And thousands of people last fall were seduced by one of these spoils heroes into voting for the other. Oye hypocrites ! We do not say that these representative men ought to be ashamed; they are beyond shame. The voters of the United States ought to be ashamed. We await the next development with interest; Mr. President: What of Senator Conkling ?

Bill Nye’s Advice to Young Men.

Young man, what are you living for ? Have you an object dear to you as life, and without the attainment of which you feel that your life will have been a wide, shoreiesß -Waste of shadow, peopled by the specters of dead ambitions ? You can take your choice in the great battle of life, whether you will bristle up and win a deathless name and owe almost everybody, or be satisfied with scabs and mediocrity. Many of those who now stand at the head of the nation as statesmen and logicians were on e unknown, unhonorfifl and unsung. Now they saw the air in the halls of Congress, and their names are plastered on the temple of fame. You can win some laurels, too, if you will brace up fttid Secure thbmwhen they are ripe. Daniel Webster and President Garfield and Dr. Tanner and George Eliot were all, at one time, poor boys. Thev had to start at the foot of the ladder and toil upward. They struggled against -poverty and public opinion bravely on till they won a name in the annals of history, and secured to their loved fines palatial homes, with light ning rods and mortgages on them. B.' may you, if. you will make the effort. All these things ard within your reach. Live temperately on $9 per month. That’s the way we got our start. Burn the midnight oil if necessary. Get some true, noble-minded young lady of your acquaintance to assist you. Tell her of ■your troubles and she will tell you what to do. She will gladly advise you. Then you can marry her, and she will advise you some more. After that she will lay aside het Work any time to advise you. You needn’t be out of advice at all unless you want to. She, too, will tell you when you have made a mistake. She will come to you frankly aud acknowledge that you have made a jackass of yourself. As she gets more acquainted -with you she will be more candid with you, and, in her Unstudied, girlish way, she will point out your errors, and gradually convince you, with an old chair-leg aud. other arguments, that you were wrong, and your past life will come up before you like a panorama, and you will tell her so, and she will let you up again. Life is indeed a mighty struggle. It is business. We cau’t all be editors, and lounge around all the time and wear good clothes and have our names in the papers and draw a princely salary. Some one must do the work and drudgery of life or it won’t be done.

In a Gondola.

Speaking of her experience in a gondola, a Venetian writer to the Detroit Free Press says: “Well, if I could have stopped breathing right there and then I would not have felt bad, tor I was too happy to feel badly over anything. Really, I never felt so happy in my life, not even when I first saw the Place de la Concorde in Paris, for I had seen palaces before, and the ground around them was no different than in dear old America; but to be riding in a gondola was so unlike anything I had ever done before, and so romantic, I cou|d with the greatest difficulty realize that I was myself. It was an awfully windy night, but our gondola rode beautifully over the waves with a very peculiar motion, caused by the queer way in which it was paddled along. As we turned in and out the streets of water the gondoliers would utter such strange and weird sounds, to let other gondoliers know we were going to turn the corner and they must take care not to have a collision. How the wind did whistle around the gondola and rattle* the windows, and how many corners we turned, and how many bridges we went under before we arrived at our hotel, which was an old palace! We had the gondola made fast at the foot of a flight of marble steps that came right down into the water, and ascending these steps into the hotel, went to our rooms and prepared for supper. It would not have taken much imagination to have fancied ourselves on an ocean steamer as the water made a terrible noise swashing up against the sides of the old palace.”

The Champion Fish Story.

Au Eastern tourist had been spinning some incredible fish yarns, when one of the party, turning to an old mountaineer, said : “ Bill, that gets away with fishing in this country, don’t it ?” “ Wai, I don’t know ’bout that.” “Do you mean to say that you have caught more and larger fish ?” “ No; but I’ve caught some purty big fellers.” “ Come, now, tell us the weight of the largest trout you ever caught.” “Wai, I can’t exactly toll as to the weight, but you folks can figger on it. Now, you know it is over 200 miles around this yer lake. Put that down. As I said before, I don’t know the weight of the biggest trout I ever yanked out, but I did haul one up on the beach, and after I landed him the lake fell three feet, and you can see by that water-mark over yonder it hasn’t riz since.”— Nevada Journal.

Husbands and Wives.

A good husband makes a good wife. Some men can neither do without wives nor with them; they are wretched alone in what is called single blessedness, and they make their homes miserable when they get married; they are like Tompkins’ dog, which could not bear to l>e loose, and howled when it was tied up. Happy bachelors are likely to be happy husbands, and a happy husband is the happiest of men. A well-matched couple carry a joyful life between them, as the two spies carried the cluster of Eshcol. They are a brace of birds of Paradise. They multiply their joys by sharing them, and lessen their troubles by dividing them. This is fine arithmetic. The wagon of care rolls lightly along as they pull together; and when it drags a little heavily, or there is a hitch anywhere, they love each other all the more, and so lighten the labor.— John Ploughman.

A Sad Case.

Miss Grace Miller is well known as a young lady of culture and refinement, and as a member of one of Cincinnati’s oldest and wealthiest families. Her accomplishments and charms have made her a favorite wherever she is known. For some time past she has been afflicted with a soreness of the eyes that threatened serious trouble, if not permanent blindness, and has been treated by a skillful optician of this city. On a recent evening, as we are informed, after passing a few hours pleasantly with her family, Miss Miller retired. In the morning she did not make her appearance, ana her maid was sent to call her. When awakened, Miss Miller said: “Why, Mary, why do you call me so early?” “It isn’t early, Miss Grace,” replied the maid. “It is quite late. lam sent to wake you.” “But, Mary, it is so dark; it must be quite early. Open the blinds; let in the sun; let me see the daylight” “Yes, Miss Grace,” said the maid -“the shutters are now open, the sun beams in; don’t you see it? Or what is the matter? Can’t you see? Do your eyes trouble you?” “O yes, Mary,” replied the afflicted girl; “I pan not see. Oh I must be blind,” and she gave an agonizing shriek that brought the family to her room. The truth alas! was soon known. In a night almost, Miss Grace Miller had been stricken blind. The case is one of such sadness as words cannot describe. We give the simple facts as related to us upon good authority, and can only say that sympathy, the deepest and most sincere, is offered in this hour of great affliction.— Cincinnati Letter.

Aversions of Appetite.

Dr. Oswald calls attention, in the Popular Science Monthly, to the fact that an antipathy to a special dish indicates the presence of a constitutional repugnance, which it is not wise to disregard. He says : I knew a Belgian soldier on whom common salt, in any combination, and* in any dose exceeding ten pennyweights, acted as a drastic poison, and thousands of Hindoos cannot taste animal food withodt vomiting. Similar effects have obliged individuals to abstain from onions, sage, parsnips and even from Irish potatoes. Dr. Pereira mentions the case of an English boy who had an incurable aversion to mutton: “ He could not eat mutton in any form. The peculiarity was supposed to be owing to caprice, but the mutton was repeatedly disguised and given to him unknown; but uniformly with the same result of producing violent vomiting and liarrhea. “ And from the severity of the effects, which were in fact those of a virulent poison, there can be little doubt that, ii the use of mutton had been persisted in, it would soon have destroyed the boy’s life.” We know a lady whose missionary work in Burmah has attracted the attention of English-speaking people, who could not eat rice. Once when she was visiting in England, her hostess, thinking the aversion a mere whim, put a table-spoonful of rice in the soup. Though the soup was strained be fort being served, and not a grain of rice was to be seen in it, yet the moment the lady tasted it she exelaixned, “ Oh, there’s rice in this soup I” and was obliged to leave the table.

I was suffering from general debility to such an extent that my labor was exceedingly burdensome to me. A vacation of a month did not give me much relief, but on the contrary, was followed by Increased prostration and sinking chills. At this time I began the use of your Iron Tonic, from which I realized almost immediate and wonderful results. The old energy returned and 1 found that my natural force was not permanently abated. 1 have used three bottles of the Tonic. Since using it I have done twice the labor that I ever did in the same time during my Illness, and with double the ease. With the tranquil nerve and vlgorof body, has come also a clearness of thought never before enjoyed. If the Tonic has not done the work, I know not what. 1 give it the credit.

HOLMAN’S cures O Simply Without /'V \ by DosingifeWJ Absorption la a sovereign remedy for all forms of Liver and Stomach troubles, and is the ONLY SAFE and ABSOLUTE cure for Malaria in its various types. Dr. Wnlman’s Pad is a genuine and rad. leal remedy, WITHOUT TAKING MEDICINK. Il was the FIRST article of the kind that was introduced to the public generally. It was the ORIGINAL PAD, was devised by DR. HOLMAN alone. He struck out from ths beaten, path and made a NEW WAY. No sooner had he rendered the undertaking a CERTAINTY than the Imitators and Piratrs who hang to and infest ever successful enterprise, started up and have aince followed in his footsteps as closely as the law will tolerate. Against these Dr. HOLMAN gives SPECIAL WARNING. Not only do they FAIL TO CURE, but in disappointing the purchaser they bring doubt and odium on the principal of Absorption, of which Dr. Holman’s Pad is ths GENUINE and ONLY TRUE EXPONENT. Every Imitation is an emphatic endorsement of the substantial worth of the genuine article. A poor one is never copied. Each Genuine Holman Pad bears the Private Revenue stamp of the HOLMAN PAD CO., with the above Trade. Mark printed in green. Buy A'one Without It.
