And the bounds broke out of the cover, all baying together in tune, And the hare sprang panting before them, along up the lawn, dew-st<ewn; And a bevy of buskined virgins, dove-.breaated, broke from the bowers, With spears ba f poised for the hurling, and tressee tang cd w>tb flowers: Their Up ■, rose ruddy, disparted to draw their deTg tsome breath For the chase, and the cheer thereof ringing, the raptuie of dealing death; The fine heads eagerly lifted, the pitiless fair eyes fixed, The flower-fresh cheeks flushed flower-like—rich lily, rich rose commixed; The slender feet flying swiftly, the slight shapes rushing like reeds, When the Thracian breezes of winter descend on the marshy meads; So they swept along like music; and wild er ed Actaeon stood Till the last of the maiden rangers was lost in ths leaning wood.

A BRAVE HUSH BOY.

A Story of Kentucky* In the month of May, 1864, a boy of 15, with’a small bundle under his arm, might have been seen walking wearily over a rough Kentucky road. His hair was brown, his eyes were gray, and there was a good-humored expression on his broad Celtic face, for our hero was an Irish boy, who had gone out into the world to seek his fortune. “Where wiM I sleep to-night?” thought Pat Roach, for that was his name. “ Last night I slept on the ground, and it’s stiff I was this morning.” At this moment his eyes fell upon a large and imposing mansion, on a little eminence to the right “ Maybe they’ll let me sleep in the barn,” he thought. “Anyhow, I’ll give them the chance.” He turned into the fror.t gate and walked up to the front door ai-fl knocked, for there was no bell. The door was opened by a colored woman. “ Well, child, what do you want?” she asked, not unkindly. “Can you let me sleep in the barn?” asked Pat. “What does the boy want, Chloe?” risked a young lady, who had just entered the broad hall. “ He wants to sleep in the barn, Miss Jennie.” The young lady came forward and looked pleasantly at the boy. “ What is your name ? ” she asked. “ Pat Roach, Miss.” ‘ ‘ Where are you going ? ” “To seek my fortune, Miss.” “ Haven’t you a home? ” “Yes, Miss, but there’s more of us (han father can keep, and I’m the oldest. So I’m going out for myself.” “ Where did you sleep last night? ” “On the ground.” “ That was a pity. You didn’t enjoy it, did you? ” “ Not much,’’answered Pat,shrugging his shoulders. “But it was cheaper.” ‘‘ I suppose you haven’t much money ? ” said the young lady, smiling. “Not a cent, Miss.” “Have you had any supper ?” “Yes, Miss, I've had a cracker.” “ You must still be hungry ? ” “ Try me and see,” said Pat, drolly. “ I will,” said the young lady, smiling. “Chloe, take this boy into the kitchen and give him a good supper.” “ And may I sleep in the barn afterward, Miss?” . “ No, but you may sleep in the house. C.iloe, let him occupy the little back room on the second floor.” “Thank you, Miss,” said Pat, gracefully. “It will be a fine thing to sleep in a real bed again. ” Chloe was well disposed to second the benevolent intentions of her young mistress. She gave Pat the best meal he had eaten for months, and drew out the boy’s story, which Pat was quite ready to tell. In return she told the boy that the estate was owned by Mrs. Stanton and her daughter, who were left wealthy by the late Mr. Stanton, who had died during the last year. Beside herself there was a man-servant, but ho was lying sick with a fever. “ You’d better hire me,” suggested Pat, “while he’s sick.” “Yon can’t do a man’s work, chile.” “ Try me and see,” said Pat. “I can ate a man’s supper, anyhow.” “ You’re right there, honey,” said Chloe, showing her teeth. A little after 8 o’clock, Pat, being fatigued with his long tramp, went to bed and was soon fast asleep. Mrs. Stanton and her daughter sat in a room on the second floor, one working and the other reading aloud, when the daughter approaching the window de scried to her alarm a company of men, ten in number, approaching the house. At this time it was not uncommon for small roving bands, passing themselves off as Confederate soldiers, but really only robbers, intent upon plunder, to scour the country, forcing their entrance into lonely houses, ana carrying off whatever of value they found. Now it happened that Mrs. Stanton, who had recently received a large payment, had no less than two thousand dollars in Northern greenbacks in her house, and these she feared would be discovered in ransacking the house, and carried off. This money was uppermost in her mind and that of her daughter. “ What shall we do with the money, Jennie ? ” she asked in a tone of distress. “ Where can we hide it?” “ I know of no safe place. The house will he thoroughly searched.” “But I can’t afford to lose it,” said Mrs. Stanton in dismay. “ Give it to me, mother. I have thought of a way of saving it. There may be some risk about it, but it may do.” From a bureau drawer the mother took a roll of large bills, and with trembling hands delivered it to her daughter. ” “What are you going to do, Jennie?” “ I will tell you afterward. Now there is no time.” The young lady summoned Chloe, briefly explained her purpose and proceeded to the room occupied by Pat Roach. Pat awoke, on being shaken, and stared in surprise at his visitors. “ What’s wanted?” he asked. “Are you an honest boy? Can I trust you ?” asked the young lady abruptly. “ 1 never stole a cent in my life,” said Pat proudly. “ I will trust you, then,” said Jennie, briefly. “ There are some robbers approaching the house, who will carry off ail they can find. Now we have $2,000 in the house.” “Two thousand dollars!” ejaculated Pat in amazement. ‘ ‘ Yes. The only place they won’t think of searching is in your pocket. Dress as quickly as possible and put this money in your pocket.” “Yes, Miss; what will I do then?” “These men will probably stay all night. Early in the morning—before sunrise—you must leave the house and stay away till 10 or 11 o’clock. Chloe will give you some food to take with you. Do you understand ?” “ Yes, Miss.” “By 10, probably, those men will be gone, and you can bring the money back.” “Yes, Miss. I’ll bring it back faithfully.” Loud knocks were heard at the door, and the two hurried away. Opening the front door they confronted the troon of marauders. ‘ ‘ What do you want at this late hour?” asked Jennie. “ Supper and shelter for the night,” answered the leader. “ Who are you, sir ?” “Capt, Jones, pf the Confederate

“ Why are you away from the main army, sir?” “ That’s my business,” answered the so-called Capt. Jones, impudently. “If you insist upon entering, you must, but we object to turning our house into a camp.” “ Can’t help it, Miss. It’s one of the necessities of war. File in, men.” Chloe was obliged to produce from the pantry all the cooked food in the house, and the men did justice to it Jennie Stanton remained up, feeling in no humor to go to bed. When the repast was over, Capt. Jones said: “ Miss Stanton, I learn that you have a large sum of money in the house. We must have it” “ What, would you plunder us?” asked the young lady, indignantly. “We don’t take it for ourselves. It is for the cause,” said the leader, hypocritically. “You may as well bring it at once and eave thfe trouble of a search. You can’t deny that the money was paid you last Monday.” “I don’t deny it,” said the young lady, intrepidly, “but it has already passed out of our possession.” “I don’t believe it,” said the Captain, looking very much disappointed. “Then you may search the house,” said Jennie, outwardly bold, but inward.ly trembling, lest the money should be discovered. “I will.” said Capt. Jcnes. “Of course, where such a large amount is concerned, we cannot trust the word of any one.” “Very well, sir, proceed. Chloe, go with these gentlemen.” She slipped away to inform her mother of what she had done, and put her on her guard. In the course of the search they came to Pat’s room. “ Who sleeps here ?” asked the leader. “A poor Irish boy, who asked for a lodging.” “ Let me see him.” The door was thrown open, and Pat stared at his new visitor. “What’s your name, boy?” asked Jones. “ Pat Roach.” “ Do you live here ?” “No, sir; the ladies let me sleep here to-night. They gave mp a good supper beside.’’ “ Where are you traveling?” “I’m seeking my fortune.” “ Are these your clothes ?” “Yes, sir.” To Chloe’s great alarm, Capt. Jones took up Pat’s poor garments, and thrust his hands into the pockets. But she need not have been alarmed. Pat had taken out the bills and put them under the sheet upon which he was lying. Only a cent was found in the pockets. “ You are not very rich,” said Jones. Pat laughed. “If I was, what would I be seeking my fortune for ?” he answered. “ There’s nothing here,” said Jones, unsuspiciously. The search continued, and a few articles of small value were discovered, but the great prize was not to be found. Capt. Jones concluded that Miss Stanton was right after all, and contented himself with what he had found. About 4 o’clock in the morning Pat was called by Chloe, who gave him some provisions in a paper, and let him . out. “ You’ll come back? ” “ Never fear,” said Pat. About 9 o’clock Jones and his party, after an ample breakfast, left the house. Still Mrs. Stanton felt nervous and anxious about the money. “Jennie,” she said, “that boy will never come back. ” “I think he will, mother.” “It was a crazy idea trusting a poor Irish boy, whom we had never seen before last night, with so large a sum. ” “It was the only thing we could do, mother. If we lose it, it will be no worse than having Capt. Jones take it” “ Two thousand dollars will be a great temptation to a boy like that. ” “ Mother, I like the boy’s face, and I will stake a great deal on his honesty.” “When you have lived as long as 1 have, Jennie, you won’t be so ready to trust a stranger. Why, the boy is only a tramp. ” “ Even a tramp may be honest.” Mrs. Stanton sighed. “Depend upon it,” she said, “we shall never see the money again.” Two hours passed. It was after 11, and still nothing was to be seen of Pat. The young lady herself grew nervous. After all, perhaps her mother was right. But at half-past 11 there was a knock at the door. It was opened, and there stood Pat. “ Have you got the money,” asked Chloe, breathlessly. “ Every dollar of it,” said Pat promptly* What made you stay so long ? ” Pat explained that he had met Capt. Jones and his men, who made him black all their boots, and thus detained him an hour. Foj this service they gave him a $5 Confederate note, which was far from being an extravagant remuneration for his labor, depreciated as it was. “ He didn’t think I had such a pile of money in my pocket, ” chuckled Pat. ‘‘ I could have paid him better for blacking my boots. ” “ Did you come here directly after you left him ?” “ No, Miss. I didn’t dare, for fear he would suspect something. I came as soon as I could. Here’s the money, and I’ll bid you good-by. ” Jennie said a few words to her mother. Then she turned to Pat. “How would you like to live with us?” she asked. “ Tip-top !” answered Pat, promptly. “Then you shall do so. You shall not be wholly a servant, but we will see that you are educated and prepared fora good position hereafter. You have shown yourself worthy of confidence, and will find us not ungrateful.” So Pat found a home and friends. He had sought his fortune and found it. He is now a prosperous and thriving man, and has been able to provide for his parents and help along his younger brothers and sisters. Had he abused the confidence reposed in him and carried off the $2,000, it is hardly likely that his future would have been as bright.

SENTENCED TO DEATH.

The Slayers of Jessie James Plead Guilty of Murder and Receive the Death Penalty. St. Joseph, Mo., April 18. The Grand Jury having found a true bill against Robert and Charles Ford for the murder of Jesse James, they were arraigned in the Circuit Court yesterday, and, after the indictment was read, a plea of guilty was entered and sentence passed. The court-room was crowded, although quiet and order prevailed. The boys were very respectably clad, and were perfectly cool and self-possessed. The indictment was read to the boys by County Attorney O. M. Spencer, who read it to Bob first, after which the Attorney asked him which plea he made, when he replied promptly and firmly, “Guilty.” He then took his seat, and the indictment of Charles Ford as aider and abettor was read to him, and in a firm, even tone Charley pleaded guilty also to the charge of murder in the first degree. The Judge then, after a few minutes' meditation, said that, under the circumstances, there was only one thing he could do, and that was to pronounce sentence upon the boys. He said that as they had pleaded guilty there was no alternative for him but to pass sentence, and it would remain for others to say whether the sentence should be finally carried out. He then asked Robert Ford to stand up. The latter rose promptly, and was asked if he had anything to say why the sentence of the court should not be passed upon him. He replied, in his usual firm tone, “ Nothing,” and Judge Sherman in substance said : “ Robert Ford, you have pleaded guilty before me to the crime of murder in the first degree, and it becomes my duty to pass the sentence of death upon you. It is therefore the sentence of this court that you be taken back to the jail, and on the 19th day of May be taken to some convenient place and there hanged by the neck until you are dead.” Robert then took his seat, and the Judge ordered Charles to stand up, and asked him if he had anything to say why the sentence of death should not be passed upon him. Charles replied firmly, "Nothing,” and the Judge passed the same sentence upon him as was passed upon Robert. After this there was no other action taken, and the boys were remanded to jail. The general understanding is that this action was taken in accordance with the Governor’s views on the premises, and that a pardon of both of them will reach here in the course of a day or two. The Governor, it is understood, was opposed to trying them, because he considers that they have done the State a great service, and are entitled to a pardon at once. The people can rest assured that the boys will be free in a very short time, and there will end the great sensation.

Frank Janies Organizing a Gang of Desperadoes to Avenge His Brother’s Death. A telegram from Atchison, Kan., says : Frank James is at the head of a movement which has for its aim the extermination of all whose names are associated with the death. The fact is known to a few that Frank passed through Atchison on Friday, going southwest, having four people with him ; that on the same day Mrs. Jesse James went to Kansas City. Yesterday Frank James returned from a mysterious visit, followed by the same pals. Mv informant states that the gang of which Frank James will now take the lead is taken from that section of the country in the Missouri bottoms opposite here which produced Polk Wells, Bill Norris, Jim Dougherty, John Pomfrey and many others, composed of the same class and material, having for its purpose the avenging of the death of Jesse James and other lawless deeds. To this gang will be added a few tried mountain odtlaws that Frank James picked up during a residence for some time in New Mexico on a small sheep ranch. Robert and Charles Ford are never to enjoy a moment’s peace, no matter what the advice or assurance from Gov. Crittenden. These brothers begin where Jesse James left off. They will be hunted and hounded as persistently as he was. Were the reward they are supposed to obtain twenty times $50,000 it will not purchase one day’s rest, one peaceful meal or blessed night These boys are not alone to be removed, but all informants and witnesses in Cracker Neck. These death avengers are backed by the entire constituency of Jesse James. Released from the St. Joseph Jail and Robert Immediately Rearrested. St. Joseph, Mo., April 19. The pardons issued by Gov. Crittenden to Robert and Charles Ford reached St. Joseph at noon yesterday, and the boys shook hands with everybody and passed out of jail. They were delighted at once more regaining light and liberty after a most-trying confinement of thirteen days. They had scarcely emerged from the shadow of the prison door when Sheriff Trigg, of Ray county, stepped up with a paper in his hand, to which he called the attention of Robert while he read it The paper proved to be a warrant for his arrest, charging him with the murder or complicity in the murder-of Wood Hite, whose body was found in an old well on the Ford farm, near Richmond, a week or ten days ago. Robert has proved himself not only a man of nerve, but cool and self-possessed, throughout the trying ordeal through which he has passed, but this sudden and unexpected performance somewhat unnerved and flustrated him, and, beside coloring up, his features twitched a trifle and his hands got in his way. He was soon at himself, however, and, with a careless “All right,” said: “Come along, let’s go to Ray.” A brief conference was had between Robert and Charley, Sheriffs Timberlake of Clay, and Trigg of Ray, Marshal Craig of Kansas City, some lawyers and others, and it was agreed that the entire party would go to Kansas City, thence to Richmond. The prisoner was attended by his father and brother and guarded by officers.

FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS.

Bockwell, who, the report says, devoted their-whole time during tbe President’s illness to his comfort and service. The committee concludes by urging the passage of the bill agreed upon by the majority. Messrs. Blackburn, Springer and Lefevre submitted a minority report, in which they state that they oppose the bill on the ground that tbe allowances to physicians and others' are excessive. Debate on the Utah contested-election case ensued, when the previous question was ordered. An hour was accorded to George Q. Cannon, who charged that Gov.

An evening session was held to consider pension bills, twenty of which were passed. Measures were adopted to give thirty condemned cannon for a monument to Gen. John Fulton Reynolds, twelve to commemorate the services of Oliver P. Morton, at Indianapolis, and to give to the Saratoga Association eight guns captured from Gen. Burgoyne.

IN DEADLY DANGER.

The Sfory of the how of the Jeannette— Frightful Perils Endured on the Ice. The San Francisco papers publish a letter from Dr. H. C. Ledyard, an American now in Siberia, to a friend in that city. At Irkoutsk Ledyard met Lieut Dannenhower, who gave him interesting details of the loss of the Jeannette, from which the following extracts are made: “Since the first fall, when they were caught by the ice in trying to reach Herald island, they have never taken a course but they were held as if in the jaws of death, squeezed till every timber quivered, turned this way and that, thrown floating and then caught again, and every hour in suspense, never knowing when the ice would close upon them. A little more and the deck sank beneath them. Throughout this strain they were well and trying to be cheerful, working very hard, for the engine and men were barely able to keep the water out. They had to pump for a year and a half. June 11, 1881, the crisis came. The ship showed greater straining than before, the deck quivered and inexplicable movements warned them, and they prepared their boats and made their camp beside the vessel. She rose and turned in her cradle till the yards touched the ice ; then the rieging gave way and the masts lay prostrate. All o’clock in the morning the floe parted and all went down. A cry of alarm called all to escape from tbe crevice in the ice. It opened just through the Captain’s tent. Then began the retreat. Twenty-nine days they struggled southward. Three hundred miles of broken ice were thus passed over. Four miles a day was thought good fortune. After one series of fourteen days they were twenty-seven miles further than at first. While working over the ice dragging, three boats they discovered Bennett island, to explore which they spent three weeks of their precious summer days, and expended much of the limited supply of food. To this detour those who survived attribute much of their suffering, and the deatn of the commander with nineteen men. After three months of this perilous and exhaustive work they came to blue water, and then with fair winds took a course for the mouth of the Lena river. Melville’s boat was stove against a block of ice. The Captain’s boat lost her mast and sail. The Captain landed with all well, but abandoned the boat as the wafer was shallow and would not make the channel of the river.”

A Bandit’s Bride.

The wife of the notorious outlaw, Jesse James, has been,intervie wed by a correspondeit of the Chicago Times. It appears that the wife was the cousin of the desperado, and was the daughter of respectable people living near Kansas City. They were engaged in 1869, just after Jesse had been made an outlaw under the civil code and a price set upon his bead. Their courtship lasted five years. One evening they were together in the yard of his mother’s residence in Kearney, when five men entered the house and made a fruitless search, the bandit lying under a rosebush twenty feet away. The Gad’s hll robbery netted $2,000, of which Jesse received onefifth, and on that capital they were married and went to Sherman, Tex., lor thei: honeymoon. Jesse was a participant in the roi>•beries at Corinth, Miss., and Munc.e, Kin. He subsequently raised fast horses at Edgefield, Tenn., and was a delegate to the State Democratic Convention wtnch nominated Gov. Porter. The daughter was born in Baltimore, during Jesse’s absence on the Northfield raid. The outlaw spent a week at the Centennial Exposition, and recognized many people from Missouri.

A Picture Worth Beholding.

Hanging between two email windows, and catching the light from a larger one opposite, in one of the offices of Adams Express Company, at 59 Broadway, New York —the office occupied' by Mr. W. H. Hall, head of the delivery department—is a plainly finished but neatly framed chromo about 2 1-2 by 3 feet in size, which is looked upon by hundreds of people daily, on many of whom it has a wonderful and salutary effect. It represents a flight of half a dozen rough stone steps leading from the swarded bank of a placid lake to a little rustic temple set in the rugged side of the mountain which rises in stupendous proportions in the background all covered with a rank, luxuriant growth of foliage in brush and tree. In the open door of this. little temple stands a half-concealed figure, with an arm and hand extended, holding forth a small, dimly-de-fined package, while seated on the sward at the foot of the steps an aged pilgrim, barefooted, lame and decrepid, bears a staff in one hand, and in the other holds before his dim eyes a small bottle, whose label he eagerly scans. This label bears the words “ St. Jacobs Oil the Great German Remedy. ” Simple as this little chromo appears in its unostentatious position it has an influence which it would be difficult to estimate. “It is to that picture and the persuasions of Mr. Hall,” said Mr. Edward J. Douglass, a gentleman connected with Mr. Hall’s department, “that I owe my present ability to perform my work. Some weeks ago I was violently attacked with sciatic rheumatism, and hour by hour I grew worse, and nothing that my family or the doctor could do gave me any relief. I began to think in a few days that my case was hopeless and that I was doomed to be an invalid and helpless cripple for life. But at last I thought of that little picture which I had so often looked at with but little interest, and then Mr. Hall came to my bedside, and, telling me how St. Jacobs Oil had cured him of a worse and longer-standing case than mine, urged me to use the same remedy. I did so that very night, directing my wife not to spare it, but apply it thoroughly according to the directions; this ■he did with a large piece of flannel cloth saturated with the Oil, and then bound the cloth to the affected parts. The next morning I was free from pain, and, although a little sore in the hip, was able to dress myself, and the next day resumed my duties in the office as sound as a dollar, itere I am now in full health and strength, having had no touch of rheumatism or other pain since. Whenever I see one of our drivers or‘any other person who shows any symptoms of lameness or stiffness, I point him to the picture in Mr. Hall’s office, and then direct him to go for St. Jacobs Oil at once. ” —E. Y. Evening Telegram.

An Ohio paper published the “Charge of the Heavy Brigade,” but the mistake of a careless printer who had changed the 300 to 329 escaped detection in time to be corrected. Ne±t morning a tall, raw-boned farmer called at the publication office and asked to see Mr. Tennyson. The polite clerk informed him that Mr. Tennyson was not in and asked him if he had any message to leave. “ Just this,” answered the somewhatexcited farmer, “if Oakes Ames is going to be worked into any more poetry in this village it’ll be pretty nasty travelin’ for the poet. ” Moses How, Esq., of Haverhill, Mass., strongly indorses St. Jacobs Oil for rheumatism, etc., from the observation of its effects in his factory as also in his own family—so we see from one of our Massachusetts exchanges.—Bridgeport (Ct.) Standard. Humoring customers: “Yes,” saida lady customer, “ these are very pretty; but haven’t you something more expensive ?” The gentlemanly clerk took down another package of the same goods, remarking briskly: “Oh, yes, ma’am ; here is something which will cost you a dollar more per yard, but it is much finer, you will notice.” Of course, she took the highest-cost piece, because it was the highest.

The Mason & Hamlin Company.— At Milan, Italy, they have recently had a Musical Industrial Exhibition and Competition, under royal patronage; at which were collected and compared, during a period of several months, the largest number and greatest variety of musical instruments, old and new, ever brought together. America was honored in the award to the Mason & Hamlin Organ Company of the highest medal, and the only one in this department. Considering that 250 awards were given, altogether, this distinction was very marked. It is a continuation of the triumphs of these famous organ-makers at every one of the World’s Fairs for fourteen years; to which there has been no exception.— The Manhattan.

There are women to-day in San Francisco subsisting upon scant crusts in blind alleys, who could step into the empty mansions of our new millionaires and arrange the appointments of room after room of the entire house with an artistic sense and individuality of taste which would put to blush the first upholsterer of the city. The day is not far distant when this will become a distinct calling for women. The originality of conception and design manifested by women wherever their artistic powers are allowed a chance of development will lead to many new paths for industrious womanhood. San Francisco Chronicle.

CONSTIPATION.

Persons suffering for any great length of time from constipation must not be surprised to find themselves afflicted, sooner or later, by such annoying symptou.s as sores, blotches, pimples, impure blood, headaches, loss of memory, universal lassitude, kidney affections, bad dreams, etc. Evacuation of the bowels should become a daily habit, in fact, this is one of the first laws of nature, and its obedience is essential to good health and longevity. When this function, through neglect, intemperance, gluttony or vicious indulgences, becomes deranged, Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla should be used to strengthen these parts. This excellent medicine qu ckly assists nature in restoring her lost equiubrium, and its use will permanently cure the severest case of constipation of the bowels and all hver and kidney complaints. It purifies the blood and strengthens every part of the body. It is as pleasant as wine to the taste. An Irishman one day came running into a farm-yard and hurriedly cried for a spade. The farmer, coming out, demanded what he wanted with it, when Pat replied that his friend had stuck in a bog and he wanted to dig him out. “How far is he in?" inquired the farmer. “Up to the ankles,” said Pat. “Is that all?” slid the farmer. “ Then he can puil himself out again. You’ll get no spade here.” Pat, scratching his head, while his face bore evident signs of grief, blurted out, “ Och, but be jabers, he’s in head first!” J. M. Morbison, of Monroe, Ohio, writes: “I was badly afflicted with salt rheum, scrofula, and other syphilitic symptoms of blood poisoning. 1 also was troubled with a bad case of piles, frequently aggravated by continued constipation. My employer recommended me to use Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Deck and Sarsaparilla. It has accomplished a miraculous change, every symptom of bad blood has disappeared, and my bowels have now a regular daily-habit, and the piles have not troubled me since.”

“ When I came to town," said a rich broker, “I hadn’t a penny of my own.” “And have you any now, sir ?” asked a quiet-faced man in the far corner of the room. The broker didn’t answer the question. Perhaps be didn’t hear it Possibly it was a pain in the stomach that drew his face down so suddenly.— Boston Transcript. It was Sydney Smith who retorted upon some one whp had called him an every-day man : “Well, if I am an every-day man, you are a weak one.”

In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I bad a hole in my lungaa big as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Db. William Hall’s Balsam fob the Lungs. I got a bottle, when, to my surprise, I commenced to feel better, and to-day I feel better than for three years past.

A CRABBED CREATURE. That nature cares for and entertains her k own has become an established fact to all * observers. Who does not love the sound of W „ the brightly scintillating waves 7 D . leaping from the phosphorescent \ ■ sea, as they break against the roeks | t in the summer night until Nature I / herself, weary of the operation, £| turns the sounding surf towards ■ll if j . the oppposite shore, leaving I * y stranded some badly-mutilated I.vA\ x snail,which wanders solemnly w ' on, Bohemian sashK r ion,— with all its Al ,Il \ worldly store upon f 1 its back. On the If Iff same beach may be -» ■ AXycv— > -r- found our crusta- ~ cean edible the crab— whose chief fvy ■ apology for existing at all seems .to to be its ability to fhrnish a delectable meal to fortunate bipeds. The crab being covered with a hard, impenetrable shell, it is not easy to molest or make him afraid; therefore he wages war in his watery world unceasingly when once attacked. A 1 though tiny, he cannot be said to be devoidof understanding, having ten legs to assist his locomotion; this, however, avails him little, for, when conquered, he never turns his back to his enemg, starting Into‘a bold run, but, like many politicians during election time, slips off sideways. There comes a time In the life of this pugnacious fellow when the years bring him more bone and muscle than he can dispose of with comfort, and he finds himself in a very tight place; his shoes pinch him and he begins to realize the practicability of applying to Dame Nature for more room or a house in proportion to his increasing size. Nature slowly responds to the call; but in her own good time provides a new home, so that the enterprising little creature does not wander about homeless, but is provided for suitably, as was the old sailor, who dropped his rheumatism and crabbedness when he applied the Great German Remedy, St. Jacobs Oil. This last, however, may sound rather fishy to the skeptical reader, and to such we would reply in language too plain to be misunderstood—in words illustrating facts that even the waves of time cannot wash away or scaly epithets affect. St. Jacobs Oil to-day has rendered the lives and homes of myriads of sufferers brighter than ever the electric light can. which people pause to admire along the way. Still more happily served than the old sailor was an invalid, wno wrote thus concerning his case: “CROOKED HAERTEL.” Accept a thousand thanks for that “golden remedy.” I suffered for many years with rheumatic pain in my. limbs. My legs were drawn together, and people called me “Crooked Haertel.” I used St. Jacobs Oil and was cured, ard now feel so well that I think I could dance, as in my young days.
