An Arabian Beauty.

Amena, the daughter of the chief of the Algerian revolt, is the great beauty of the Arab tribes. She appears to be distinguished above all her rivals, not only for her loveliness, but for accomplishments likewise, being a poetess of no mean order, and for her courage in the field, where she takes her place by her father’s side and gallops fearlessly on her Arab courser, as fleet and powerful as his own. The picture is worthy of Horace Yernet, the Frenchmen say, who have pursued the flying host under Bou Amena’s command—the chief with his white bournos flying behind him and the red and purple tassels of his horse gear dancing in the wind, while the dark blue and white striped vail of the girl, with its gold border, flashes in the sun as it floats out beyond the long streaming tail of her flying steed. Mb. George M. Whiting, Middletown, Ohio, writes : “ I was an invalid many years, suffering from general debility, nervous prostration, blood impurities, dyspepsia, painful urination, weak lungs, catarrh of the bladder and extreme physical weakness. Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla has brought me out, and made me a sound, healthful, vigorous man I can never say enough for this wondorful strength and health restoring medicine.”

Tommy was a little rogue, whom his mother had hard work to manage. Their house in the country was raised a few feet from the ground, and Tommy, to escape a well-deserved whipping, ran from his mother and crept under the house. Presently the father came home, and, hearing where the boy had taken refuge, crept under to bring him out. As he approached on his hands and knees, Tommy asked, “Is she after you, too?”
