A TRUCE WITH DEATH. Put np thy scythe, and stop the running muds, Come, rest awhile and warm thy chilly hands;. For we have met amid the tropic's storm, ’Mid lightning's flashes and the plague’s dread form. Ofttlmss I’ve parried with thee blow for Wow, 'Neath summer’s scorching sun and winter’s snow ; Have laughed to scorn thy dastardly attack * When Afrlc’s fever bound me on the rack. Have met tbee often qn my pleasure tours, And journeyed with thee where fair virtue pours Her sweetest Blessings through the summer days; Where youth, gay, buoyant youth, with guileless pfar, Gathered the wild flowers from the green hillside, Or played with the ripples of the dancing tide; Hang with the wild birds notes of praise to God, And chased the phantom Joy from aod to sod. I’va seen thee glance at beanty’a cheek. And listen to her voice whene’er she’d speak; Gaze on her ruby lips and rounded form, feast on her graceful shape and bosom warm: Then raise thine hand, armed with thy treacherous And sheath its brightness In her broken heart I’ve.seen thee follow manhood’s fleetest stride, Bounding o’er ice snd snow, the nstion’s pride; Ou"stormy sess thou tread'st with him the deck, Wettest the moment when his ship’s a wreck, Watchest his struggles the dim shore to reach, Then leav’st his frefeen form upon the snowy beach. Oh, I have met thee oft, throughout my Me, But never feared thee in the thickest strife; I’ve ate snd drank with thee from eve tiU morn, Our glasses drained till another day was bora. Hidden In ambush oft I’ve drawn thy fire, Unmasked thy batteries, forced thee to retire, Baffled, outflanked thee, put thee to the rout, Spiked tby last battery, left thee not one scoot. Now sound a truce! s truoe ’twlxt thee and me t My years will be but few ere I shall be Named with the countless throng who’ve passed sway, Who’ve lived, snd loved, and molder’d to decay. Put up thy scythe, nor stop my feeble breath. Ere long we’ll meet within thy halls, O I death.

THE STORY OF A PATRIOT.

CHAPTER L It was during the height of Maximilian’s prosperity. At every comer of the capital you were elbowed by the red and blue uniforms of the French, and every now and then the “ ran-tan-plan ” of some company on a march echoed and re-echoed along the streets and lanes of the City of Mexico. At the .Palace gates squads of zouaves, on guard with bristling bayonets, denoted the presence of royalty, - and kept off all unwarranted intrusion. The unconcerned look of the populace appeared to have accepted the present state as a matter of fact, and they either made way for passing foreigners or respectfully bowed to the Emperor as he whirled by iu his three-mule volante. A sound of martial music is heard coming toward the palace. It is Marshal Bazaine and his staff, with a battalion of Zouaves. The populace gathers and forms a hedge on each side of the approaching phalanx, the French stepping along briskly at the sound of the inspiring strains ; they do not notice the lowering looks from under the wide brims of the “ sombreros,” and the little Marshal twirls his mustache with perfect contempt at the conquered rabble. He was in high spirits ; thirty guerrillas had been shot that morning outside of the gates, and to-night lie was invited to a select game of twonty-one, at the little Jewess* on “Calle Grande.” “ Friend,” says my companion, a Mexican, after viewing the scene just described, “the French are certainly blind. They undervalue the power of resistance existing in this country. Not a house but what is the abode of conspirators, and every Mexican in the country is an actor in some way or other in the drama of which we have just viewed a scene. ” I replied ; “ How can it be? We hear of no positive resistance, except in cases of brigandage, which are summarily punished. A condition of the country, as geneial as you speak of, would come under the notice of the Government and at once be suppressed. ” “ Well,” said my friend, “to-morrow night I invite you to come with me, and without any explanation you can judge for yourself, only you must understand that whatever you see or hear must be kept to yourself. Any delation would meet with immediate punishment, and whatever might be the fate of the persons accused or arrested.”

It was dusk when we started to pay our visit. After turning several corners we entered one of the narrow lanes leading, as a general thing, to a main street. The house was like all Mexican houses, with a wide coach gate leading to an inner paved court. After pounding a few seconds the gate was cautiously opened, aud, a password having been exchanged, we were ushered in. My friend led the way up a flight of steps iuto a dimlyliglitcd room, in which a great many people were congregated, men and women. My guide introduced me to Gen. Gonzales, who appeared to preside, and having been led around to each one I was soon at home with both sexes. “Friends,” said Gen. Gonzales, “I have received a courier from Oxaaca and one from Guadalajara ; the organization of the forces of the republic is progressing, and, although the lives of patriots are being daily sacrificed, we will soon see the dawn of our independence.” The young men who had acted as couriers were then introduced, both wearing the costume of cattle-herders, # and both being fine specimens of guer"rillas; one especially took my fancy, Henrique Martinez from Guadalajara. He was about five feet seven or eight, with an elegant, sinewy frame ; his wellbronzed countenance heightening the black luster of his eyes and hair ; as he gracefully bowed to the company the dignity cf his manners denoted the most accomplished gentleman. He at once joined a young lady who with smiles and extended hands forced him to sit by her side. Hers was a face worth studying. She was dark, like all Mexicans, but her features were of a cast fit to have stood for a model to Titian’s Madonna. As Henrique was relating his hairbreadth escapes, depicted with enthusiasm in which self was entirely forgotten and sacrificed to the future independence of his country, Mathilda Castellado would follow every word of his narrative, with her countenance denoting the interest she took in the speaker.

“Henrique,” Baid Gen. Gonzales, " I give you till day after to-morrow morning to stay with and visit your friends (casting a side glance at Mathilda); you must then be ready to return. To-morrow evening call at my honse ; I will give yon dispatches for Gen. Diaz, which must be delivered without delay.” My destination being Guadalajara, I asked Henrique to accompany him, to which he graciously consented; he gave me the address of the place where I should meet him the day after to-mor-row early in the morning. CHAPTER IL Daylight found me at the place appointed, and under the arch of the wide coaoh gate stood Henrique holding his horse by the bridle and bidding farewell to Mathilda. “ Oh, Henrique,” said the girl, "my heart fails me; this constant anxiety, this everlasting shedding of blood makes me shudder. Be careful for my sake. If duty calls you do not be rash. Remember that in losing you I will lose all. Daily, at the altar, I will offer my prayers for your safety.” Henrique’s knit brow showed how hard it was for him to control his feelings ; he seized the girl in his strong arms, imprinted an impassioned kiss on her forehead, and vaulting in his saddle he beckoned me to follow. When I overtook him the traces of tears were still on his face. Onr passports being duly vised, we were soon beyond the causeway leading to the capital, and on our way toward the West of Mexico. My companion was in a morose humor, and spoke but little. At each post he' showed his passport with indifference, and as soon as we were out of hearing he would anathematize the foreigners. Every now and then a passer-by and he exchanged- signs of recognition. We

pawed the first night in a regular wood house. The second day Henrique became more loquatcoos, spoke of his intentions, of Mathilda, of the war, and he entered into details of the organization of the guerrillas. We had been on the road nearly all day, constantly ascending toward the summit of the table-lands of Mexico, when, at a turn of the road, a Mexican stood np from the bushes; he was dressed like a peon, breast and legs bare, wearing sandals. He uttered a word, to which Henrique answered, the latter dismounting, giving me his horse to hold; after a while Henriqne returned, and said: "The roads are all patrolled and it would be unsafe for me to pass through Qneretaro. If yon wish to proceed yon can go through unmolested. We separate here, as I have to take a byroad.” "By no means,” I answered. “You and I will proceed together, and whatever dangers may be encountered I will share them with you.” He seemed pleased with my determination to go with him and he grasped my hand. "Yon and I will then be friends,” he said; “but what if we should be taken?” “If we are captured,” I replied, “we will their take the chances of escaping or being shot.” Henrique called the Mexican, ordering him to lead the way. The sun was slowly losing itself behind the high peaks of the table-lands and the shadows of the fast-advancing darkness were making the mountain paths almost invisible. Leaving the main road we descended into a mountain gorge by a path so narrow that we had to dismount and lead our horses, our guide in the lead motioning when to stop and when to go forward. Our steps were guided only by the dim twilight reflected from the overtowering mountain hips and by a stream, whose gurgling clalter as it sped on its rocky bottom guided us to a light ahead; the light proved to be a small adobe hut. “Give your horse to the man,” said Henrique, “and follow me.” We went down to enter the hut in which were two men and a woman ; the men were lying down on their blankets, the woman was leaning over a charcoal furnace preparing supper. Two or three stools were lying about.

“Ramon! What news?” said Henrique, addressing one of the men. “Signor, the roads are alive with troops. Senor Cristoval has been captured, with ten of his men. They were executed at Queretaro this morning.” “ Were ydu there ?” asked Henrique. “Yes, Signor, and they all died like men, shouting ‘Viva the Republic !’ ’ “ Ramon, I must be off before day. You shall have to precede us and see if the road to Toluca is clear; in case of any danger, retrace your steps to meet us.” . CHAPTER lIL Before day, on the call of our peon guide, we mounted our horses held by him at the door. Without a word he started, followed by Henrique and myself. We were ascending a regular road; the dark outlines of the mountains were plainly delineated on the clear horizon, bespangled with its myriad of stars ; and as the approaching daylight began to peep over the towering head, each peak seemed decked with a luminous crown. When we reached the summit the sun was slowly emerging from the mass of mountains, and as its spreading rays illuminated the valley, the uncertain, increasing light appeared to dance from dome to dome and roof to roof of the city of Queretaro, lying directly under us. Just then the sharp blast of a bugle, accompanied by the roll of drums beating the reveille, warning us to hurry up on our march, and, leaving our guide, we then started on a brisk trot toward Toluca. It was some two hours by sun when the sound of a gallop behind us made Henrique stop. A Mexican soon overtook ns, his horse in foam and panting from the swiftness of the run. “In a gallop for your lives,” he exclaimed, “ the French are after you. By speed you can reach a hacienda and hide for the night. You have been betrayed by your peon guide. ” It was no time for words ; a lash of the whip and both spurs iu the flanks of our horses sent us whirling on our road. We had already covered a long distance, at a gait which was telling on our steeds, when we came to a long ascending road, whose winding course we could see rising for some two miles ahead of us. “Caramba,” s iid Henrique, “ this is the worst part of the road. If we come within sight of the French as we ascend yon mountain, it will be a race for life and death. We ought to have overtaken Ramon ere this. ” The declining sun was almost touching the dome of the mountain, and we had barely readied midway of the rising road when we heard the ominous clatter of a troop of cavalry; looking back, we would see iu the dim twilight the French emerging iu the valley below. We must have been seen by the French, for the company raised a cheer which was echoed and re echoed from mountaintop to mountain-top, Ramon had come back toward us, and the three together we hastened up as fast as our jaded steeds would permit. Darkness had then fairly covered the mountain and dale.' Once on the summit, ready to descend, Henrique dismounted. “Dismount!” he ordered. “Each one fasten his reins to the pommel of his saddle so as not to interfere with the horse; and hold the reins with one hand and your whip with the other. At my signal, on the French drawing near, let go the reins, lash your horses, and fall back on your face some distance from the road. My horse knows the roads, yours will follow, and the French can. if they will. We did as ordered, and waited in silence on the declivity of the mountain for the approaching of the French. Nearer and nearer came the sound of the horses’ feet, the voices of the soldiers becoming more and more distinct. They seemed to be almost upon us, so close that Ramon and I held on nervously to our reins. Henrique was as immovable as a statue. Seconds counted as minutes; we could hear the panting of -their horses. Henrique whispered: “ Ready ! Let go ! Lash 1” He rolled back from the road. Ramon and I followed. The three loosened steeds, in one bound, were thundering down the descending road; • and the echo beingcaught up by the yelling French, who swept by us in a whirling mass. When the rumbling sound of the pursuing host had almost died away in the distance, Henrique called us to him, and we . groped our way to where he was. “Friends,” he whispered, “we must retrace our steps to the capital. Let us reach the hacienda of Rinaldo, and there decide what road to take.” Feeling sure that at this time of night the roads were secure, we started on our way back, thankful for onr escape and hopeful of meeting with no more mishaps. CHAPTER IV. We walked on in silent mood, with our hands on our weapons, retracing every step we had just been over, each one intently peering through the darkness of the valley in which we now were; darkness rendered still more impenetrable by the shadows of the mountains to the right and left. Wearied by the march and the excitement of the day before, we soon became listless, half nodding and mechanically marching on in the beaten path of the highway, Henriqne being some twenty feet in advance of us. All at once a cry of " Halt I” the flash <« a musket, a souffle of jnany men, end-

I found myself dragged on by Ramon, scrambling ap the steep ascent of a hilL After about half an hour of tumbling and running, Ramon stopped. " Where ?” I started to ask. Ramon struck his hand on my month. “Silence," he whispered; “the French are below us, and Henrique is either killed or a prisoner. We must make our way to Queretaro; I know the paths, follow me, day will soon break.” I found afterward that we bad fallen in with a French company of the line, who were resting on the roadside until daylight should appear. Ramon took the lead, and soon struck a by-path which he appeared to know. I followed. The stars were shining in all their brilliancy, and the horizon to the east was now and then flecked with indefinite streaks of reddish hue, which announced approaching day. I was certainly dreaming; Henrique, Mathilda, passed and repassed before my eyes; when suddenly Ramon seized me by the arm and brought me back on my knees. “Hist!” he almost hissed. “The French ! Not a step forward !” Sure enough the French were within two gunshots of us ; they had retraced their steps, and our path was leading us exactly on them. “They are on the road to the capital,” said Ramon; "they must be taking Henrique there. He is not killed. ” We waited. The steady tramp of the escort, the metallic click of the arms of the soldiers, keeping time to the regular step of the company, sounded to me as the death knell of Henrique. So young and yet so true to his cause ! As soon as the sound of the passing French was far enough away to make it safe for us to proceed, Ramon started at a rapid rate, and, after a long, weary march, we reached the hut we had left the day before. “Are you not afraid of the peon who betrayed us ?” I asked.

Ramon smiled a ghastly smile. “He is where tongue never tells and eyes can’t see,” pointing to the ground. Having a regular American passport, I hastened to Queretaro to take the stage and be- at the capital to try and help Henrique, if such a thing was possible. CHAPTER V. Once in the City of Mexico, I bethought myself of a Dr. Bertalli, who was a large contractor, and in favor with the Government. I hastened to his residence, and, fortunately, found him alone. “Doctor, I have called on you for a service which you can render.” “My friend,” he answered, "I am at your service, provided it is neither a conspiracy nor an elopement.” I entered at once into the details of Henrique’s misfortune, and entreated him to see for me if anything could be done. “I must hasten then,” said the doctor, “ for you know French court-martials are cot ceremonious, and the execution follow? immediately after the conviction. But there is very little hope. These are had times, the end of which no one can tell.” The good doctor started at once, with the promise to let me know the result at my hotel, and there 1 went, hoping almost against hope. In due time the doctor made his appearance. I dared not speak. He shook his head in an ominous way, and seized my hands. “No earthly hope,” he said. “I will relate to you what happened, as the scene has left an impression on my mind which I never can forget. When I reached headquarters the court-mar-tial had been in session for some time, and a score of prisoners had already been disposed of. The Judge Advocate was calling for Henrique Martinez. “At his name the young man stood up, his eyes glaring defiance at the array of brilliant uniforms before him.

“‘You are accused of sedition,’ said the Judge Advocate, ‘caarying arms against the empire, and being bearer of dispatches to the insurgents. ’ “ * What have you to say ?’ added the Judge Advocate. “ Henrique remained silent. “ ‘ His Majesty, the Emperor,’ continued the Judge, * has been pleased, in consideration of your youth and high standing of your family, to offer you your pardon, on condition of your abandoning the cause of the insurgents. In case of your accepting the generous boon offered you by his Majesty, he further tenders you the command of a company in his service, and he will assign you on the staff of General Uragr..’ “Henrique, with flashing eyes, made a few steps forward. “ 1 Me a pardon ! Thavk you, friends, (gracios amioos)! All the doubloons purloined from my country by the invaders, all the titles in the gift of the usurper will never make the knees of Henrique Martinez cringe to his power. Forward, then, to the execution ! lam ready.’ “To-morrow morning,” continued the doctor, “they will be executed. There will be a long file of victims, as they wish to clear off the docket, day after to-morrow being Christmas. And,” added the doctor, with a quizzing expression, “you know that we French transact no business on holidays.” I wended my way toward the house where Mathilda lived. I inquired for her. An old Mexican servant, who had answered my summons, seemed doubtful how to answer, bul, on my mentioning the name of Henrique, she came up close to me and whispered that Mathilda had gone to the Ursuline Convent. “ To stay ?” I asked, astonished. “ Yes, sir,” she answered, and, courtesying, the left me standing on the porch. CHAPTER YL Next morning I rode by day, determined to assist at the execution bf the prisoners, hoping I might receive some message from Henrique. When I reached the doomed place the bulk of the prisoners had already been executed, having been shot in squads of ten. The remaining victims were being placed in position; Henrique was one of the number. A great many spectators were present ; nearly all natives of the low class, men and women, and. a few foreigners. Kneeling outside and on the front of the idle lookers-on, was a lady almost entirely covered with a silk mantilla; her subdued sobs had called enough of sympathy from the surrounding crowd to make them stand back, leaving her isolated next to the line of the platoon, who were the executioners of the day. A shriek followed the volley of musketry, and Mathilda had cast herself on the body of Henrique. At a word of command, the soldiers formed a square, surrounding Mathilda and the corpses; the two pieces of artillery, which formed part of the escort, wheeling so as to face the spectators. The officer of the day rode forward and ordered the crowd to disperse. The French were not prepared for such a soene, and were anxious to avoid every sensation which might excite the populace. Dr. Bertolli called on me that evening ; he grasped my band: “I was just looking for you. These are squally times, and the less we allow our minds to prey on the events of each day, the quieter will be our sleep, the more regular our digestion, and the safer our heads; therefore I have come for yon to come with me on an entertainment; from thence we will go and attend midnight mass. It you are fond of music, the Ursuline Convent will more than satisfy the most exacting dilettante.” We entered the chapel just as the organ was intoning the Introit of the mass, flje grave notqs of the Gregorian

chant echoing from arch to arch of the vast edifice. The huge assemblage; the gorgeonsness of the altar, resplendent with innumerable lights; the richness of the vestments and the sublime music of the choir brought ns to onr knees. It was at the elevation; the host is raised before the kneeling multitude, and the organ, swelling in majestic notes, raises aloft the heavenly melody of the sacred chant. As the ponderous bells in the dome above enswer in solemn tones to the suppliants beneath, a voice of silvery purity soars above the symphony of the choir and mingles with the solemn toll as it vibrates among the arches of the dome. A faint cry is heard 1 A commotion in the choir! But all remains unuotioed during the ending ceremonies of the mass. Next day, in the daily papers, was the report of the sudden death of Miss Mathilda Caste 11 ado ; she was about to enter her novitiate at the Drsuline Convent, and while singing in the choir at midnight mass fell insensible, and expired.

VETO OF THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.

Following is the full text of the President's message vetoing the River and Harbor bill: To the House of Representatives: Having watched with mnch interest the progress of House bill No. 6,2-12, entitled “An act making appropriations for the construction, repair and preservation of certain works on rivers and harbors, and for other purposes,” and having, since it was received, careful! i examined it, after matnre consideration I am constrained to return it herewith to tho House of Representatives, in which it originated, without my signature and with my objections to its passage. Many appropriations in tho bill are clearly for the general welfare and most beneficent in their character. Two of the objects for which provision is made were by me considered so important that I felt it my duty to direct to them the attention of Congress. In my annual message in December last I urged the vital importance of legislation for reclamation of the marshes and for the establishment of harbor lines along the Potomac front. In April last, by special message, I recommended an appropriation for the improvement of the Mississippi river. It is not necessary that I say that when my signature would make the bill appropriating for these and other v Unable national objects a law it is with great reluctance, and only nnder a sense of duly, that I withhold it My principal objection to the bill is that it contains appropriations for purposes not for common defense or general welfare, and which do not promote commerce among the States. These provisions, on the contrary, are entirely for the benefit of the particular localities in which it is proposed to make the improvements. I regard such appropriation of public money as beyond tbe powers given by the constitution to Congress and the President. I feel more bound to withhold my signature from the bill because of peculiar evils which manifestly result from this infraction of the constitution. Appropriations of this nature, to be devoted purely io local objects, tend to increase in number and amount As citizens of one State find that money, to raise which, in common with the whole country, they are taxed, is to be expended for local improvements in another State, they demand similar benefits for themselves; and it is not unnatural that they shonld seek to indemnify themselves for snch of the public funds by securing appropriations for similar improvements in their own neighborhood. Thus, as the bill becomes more objectionable, it secures more support This result is inevitable, and necessarily follows neglect to observe the constitutional limitations imposed on the lawmaking power. Appropriations for over and harbor imFrovemcnts have, under the influences to which have alluded, increased year by year out of proportion to tho progress of the country, great as that has been. Iu 1870 the aggregate appropriation was $3,075,900 ; in 1875, $6,648,517.50 ; in 1880, $8,976,500, and in 1881, sll,451,300, while by the present act there is appropriated $18,743,875. White feeling every disposition to leave to tho legislature the responsibility of determining what amount should be appropriated for the purposes of the bill, so long as appropriations are confined to the objects indicated by the grant of Congress, I cannot escapo the fact that, as part of the law-makiug power of the Government, the duty devolves upon mo to withhold my signature from a bill containing appropriations which, in my opinion, greatly exceed in amount the needs of the country for the present fiscal year. It being the usage to provide money for these purposes by an annual appropriation bill, the President is iu effect directed to expend so large an amount of money within-so brief a period that expenditure can not be made economically and advantageously. Extravagant expenditure of public money is an evil not to be measured by the value of that money to the people who are taxed for it. They sustain greater injury in the demoralizing effects produced upon those who aro intrusted with official duty, through all the ramifications of government. These objections could be removed and every constitutional purpose readily ebtained should Congress enact that one-hal f only of the aggregate amount provided for in the bill be appropriated for expenditure during the fiscal year, add that the sura so appropriated be expended only for such object named in the bill as the Secretary of War, under direction of- the President, shall determine ; provided that in no case shall expenditure for any one purpose exceed tbe sum now designated by bill for that purpose. I feel authorized to make this suggestion b . cause of the duty imposed upon the President by the constitution to recommend to the consideration of Congress such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient, and because , it is my earnest desire that tho public works which are in progress shall suffer no injury. Congress will also convene again iu four months, when this whole subject will be open for their consideration.

THE NUMBER OF FARMS.

Am Sl*WB fcf * CeaMH.■■lietliijw Um LMt Four A bulletin from the Census office giro* the number of farms In the United States in the yean 1880,1870, 1880 and 1860, together with a statement of the rate per osnt of increasefrom , 1870 tolßßo. The great increase in the Northern, Western and Pacific States and Territories is explained by the rapid settlement of tho§e, regions during the past decade, and an increase ' in the Southern States is accounted for by the subdivision of the large plantations of ten and twenty years ago. The total number of (arms in the United States in 1870 was 2,659,985, and in 1880 4,008,907, an increase of 51 per cent, The State of Ohio ia credited with 195,953 farms in 1870, while in 1880 there were 247,189, an increase of 26 per cent Kentucky shows a remarkable increase of 41 per cent in the last ten years, having a total of 118,422 in 1870 and 166,453 in 1880. Indiana has increased 20 per cent, showing a total of 194,013 farms in 1880, against 161,289 in 1870. Tennessee has increased the number of her farms 40 per cent in this time, having a total of 165,650 at the laat census. The largest increase is in Dakota, where the enormous gain of 91.4 per cent, is given. Nebraska ia next to Dakota, with an increase of 415 per oent The New England States being but little subject to changes, show the smallest increase, Maine, New Htmpalpre and Vermont having increased the number of their farms 8, 9 ana 5 per Cent, respectively. Massachusetts is credited with an increase of 45 per cent, bnt this figure is disputed, owing to the defective census of 1870 in that State.

Faith.

Often a dootor will say: “Well, now if yon will only have faith in my treatment I will core yon.” Stuff and nonsense! The idea is absurd, and yet it is a fixed notion with many, especially those of the quack fraternity who frighten the young into the use of their nostrums and then excuse their failure to cure from a want of faith on the part of their victim. The inventor of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, an old and esteemed physician, used to take especial delight in persuading those who had no faith in his prescription to “only just try it” Faith or no faith, its effect as a blood purifier and true strengthener of the liver, kidneys and nervens system is most wonderful and is proven in every instance where used. The proprietors offer a thousand dollars reward for any case of impure blood, weakness, ill-health, dyspepsia, indigestion, nervous debility, urinary weakness, liver complaint or any chronic female ailment that this remedy does not benefit.— Gazette. Ask your druggist to get it for yon. Napoleon 111., whose health was not of the best, used to make use of a preparation of iron, which came to be called “Sjrupus Napoleonis,” and under that name crept into the German pharmacopoeia. In the new edition, however, of that work of interminable technicalities, the Syrupus Napoleonis has, for political reasons perhaps, been carefully excised. Mobs attention is now given to beekeeping in the South than ever before. The old-fashioned “bee-gum” has generally given place to improved hives, and a large increase of honey. J. F. D., of Cincinnati, 0., writes : “Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla has eradicated from n>y system every trace of impure blood, resulting from a bad case of scrofula and syphilitic disorder of many years’ standing. ’ ’ I am of the opinion that there is nothing so beautiful but that there is something still more beautiful, of which this is the mere image and expression—a something which can neither be perceived by the eyes, the ears or any of the senses ; we comprehend it merely in the imagination.— Cicero.

Hanlan’s Home.

Banian, the champion oarsman of the world, was born in Toronto, Canada, and won his first amateur race on Toronto Bay. Afterwards he made his name famons by his great victory at the Centennial in 1876. Since then he has defeated every oarsman of prominence, not only in this country, but from the antipodes of Australia to tho shores of Great Britain, and now he patiently waits for the next man who is to attempt to make him lower his standard of victory, which has been so long waving in triumph. Any one taking even a cursory glance at Hanlau, and who notes his clear, bright eye, his pare skin and well-knit frame, would be convinced that purity of blood and robust health wero his birthright, hence, the basis of his strength and endurance. Purity of blood is unquestionably the seat of life and health, and to obtain it and keep it nothing in the world can compare to Burdock Blood Bitters. Mr. J. Marsh, Bank of Toronto, Ont., writes: “Biliousness and dyspepsia seem to have grown up with me ; having beon a sufferer for years, I have tried many remedies, bnt with no lasting results until I used your Burdock Blood Bitters. They have been truly a blessing to me, and I can not speak too highly of them.” B. Blacket Robinson, proprietor of the Canada Presbytei-ian, Toronto, Ont., writes: For several years I have suffered greatly from oft-recurring bilious headaches. I used your Burdock Biood Bitters with the happiest results, and I now feel myself better in health than for years past. I cheerfully recognize the sterling character of your preparation. Sold by all druggists. “I met Mr. Miggles to-day,” remarked Mrs. Chippick. “ He’s quite a changed man.

A Noted Woman.

The item in regard to the failure of “Yours for health, Lydia E. Piukh&m,” of Lynn, Mass., which has been floating through the papers, we are glad to learn is false in every lespect, as wo found on inquiring at Hubbard’s International Newspaper Agency of this city. The Lynn Bee said a few days since: “The Lydia Pinkham Compound Business is not financially embarrassed, as reported, but is being conducted on a much larger scale than ever, doing a large and growing business and paying one hundred cents on a dollar.” Mr. Hubbard has whole charge of the advertising business of this and other similar large houses, and informs us that ho has inserted her advertisements on yearly contracts in over 8,000 newspapers last year, so that she is to-day the best-known woman in America. In addition to this fact she is a live, earnest woman of over sxty, and doing a great deal of good in the world, as many of the best families in this city can testify. Her advertisements, though worded plainly, are not equivocal in any sense, and her remedy is one of ihe few of great merit before the public. —New Haven Sunday Register. * “ Hallo, what is this I hear ? You, who have always been preaching about disinterested love and decrying marriages for money, about to marry a widow with a million.” And do you think, sir, that I am selling myself for gold ?

A Significant Fact.

The cheapest medicine in use is Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, because so very little Of it is require lto effect a cure. For croup, diphtheria and diseases of the lungs and throat, whether used for bathing the chest or throat, for taking internally or inhaling it is a matchless compound. “ Don’t drag your feet along the ground so!’ says a fond mother to the child with whom she is walking; “it wears out your boots.” “ Yes, ma,” replies the little one; “ but it wears out the ground, too!” Somehow or other, mamma doesn’t regard this as a sufficient compensation.
