When Flo a:riyed at Aaat Ellen'3, toid of yoar severe 11r.esi anl showed rae tha advertisement for nur Lina had sent to some paper, I resolved to answer it myself, ai I coald not re main awav from you, knowing you ware ill. Wae a I vrtnt upstairs to prepare for my haanward journey, I calls J. Aunt Ellen and t-i'i'i her of my intentions to disgaiaa myel, S3 I knew that in no other way would I dare enter Woodraf Hall. She at oac3 brought cut that wig and tho3a goggles, which she found among Hal's ma3qurade suits. rutting them on and this dress of xny aunt's, I went down stairs, and", to my great deüght, no cno recnized me. 1 felt sure, than, that I wis sfe to return to the home I loved so well. You had not cansalted a physician yet. nor wai Mrs. Woodraf willing that yoa should, until I told her that I would not remain at Woodxaf Hall it sh.9 did not summon medical advice at once," she said, hesitating a moment jo rest "Go on; tell rae the rest," 3äil Mr. Wood hf lrnputiently. -Dr. Thornton wa sent for and arrived li e following day. Your cass puzzled him, ktuJ he 83S el to ba allowed to consult with i)r. I'.oiz When the latter arrived, and had tjam':i-d your ca.e thoroughly, they adjourtea to ihe next room, la a few mojrents they called me, and to my horror to d i:.e .what they sispiotei. My suspicions were around against that woman at once, ard I resjivei to watcn he?, and if suo were juuity, to see that she did cat escape puaisumfrt. Hut the strictest surveilance on ray a:t failed to detect in ht-r the would-be rutrderer. I felt ashamed for having ondieted rcy father's wife with such a crime." She Is my wife no ionper: I give neru ir justice. Her future homo is the prison," xtlaictd Mr. Wcodrnf. 4,L quiet, my dear friend; your life depends uoon it," interrupted Dr. Grey. 'I will, Doctor. Bat tell iae, Aleta, ho yo-J ever thought of watchinR her to-night." 'This morning you were a great deal vorsa and asked for Doctor Grey, and I went for him. He disco fared the same symptoms of poison in your eystera as your former phvficians had. and proposed watching Mrs. Woodraf. Of course it was necessary for me to aid him, and we alsD took Mr. Braden into our confidence. Consequently when everything was silent they entered the sitting room without disturbing either of yoa. I need not tell you more, for yon have been a witness to everything else which transpired." Mela, my darling, can you ever forgive ine for the wrong I committed ia marrying that woman, for causing yon so inush real sorrow?" "Yea, dear papa, for yoa had the right to Co as j on thought best." "And I di 1 think it was for the best then, ny child. I now see my great miitake. Ob, OrO! that I had listened to you. "We may be hapoy yet, although our sky n.y be dark and cloudy now." "No, no; it is too late, for I have brought disgrace upon the name I baar, which no other Woodraf did before me. A wife accused of prisoning her husband." "Vr. Vyoodruf, if you desire it, this matter can hwrkept from everv one, except those who already know it," said Dr. Gray. "If she were a stranger to me, I would say punish her as she deserves. Because she is my wife in Dame, is that the reaton such a wicktd wretch should not be punished? Ah, no! justice, the law must täte its course. God will not spare the rich man or his wife at the d ay of judgment, nor his name either, therefore I shall not interfere in" "Ncr do I ask yon to. Imprisonment, death anything Is preferable to living with one I ha.e as I do you Ah! do you think that I will ever ask mercy of yoa?" It was Lina eaying th'. She had heard distinctly every word said by har husband, as he had been talking in a load, angry voice. She had tried hard to keap silent, but at last was obliged to give way to her temper. Why, then, did yoa marry me? Was it to ram my whole life to separate me from jny child? If so, you have succeeded admilably to far; but in your most hellish crime oa failed. My daughter is restored to me, i nd I to her, while yoa are a prisoner, or .v rn will be." "Yon are, indeed, hard-hearted, to deliver 5 cur own wife to justice. I ete my mistake i.ow hi not killing you outright, for then I n-Uht Lava escaped that which you think waits me." Krongh, dear papa; pay no more to her, fnr she ia not worthy th strength yon are s?tirg on her. Mr. Braden, command cur prisoner to keep silent, cr she must be m"Vf d to other quarters," interrupted Meta. 4 Command me to do anything, my noble JS ithur, and I will obey you, since ycu love it so devotedly." Silence woman! cnles3 you wouH yet be the cause of Ciive Woodraf death!" aaawered Arthur. Dr. Grey would not allow Mr. Woodraf to epeak siain, as he waa very weak and nervous, and there wa3 great danger of his being thrown into a fever. , Since wa last saw MeU without hsr diani$e, Ehe has grown more womanly in both looks and actions, but looks thtn and pale from her dote confinement in the sick chamber. CCKTIXCED MONDAY. TUE NATIONAL DAXXvS. MioaM the Public Debt be Perpetuated at h IJ.ise for Their Correucj? To tbe Editor c! the Sentinel: Sir The prime object in ever branch of business, the world over, is the making, or accumulating, money. The National banking biisinm is certainly eo exception to this rule. And viewing the matter in this light we can readily understand why the National bankers insist cpon the Government Issuing lorjg bonds (the longer the better), which they may purchase as a base for their currency; for there is no other business which

furnishes eo efe and proStabls an invsitment for capital. Tnke a capital of $-.0 aal pirch boo!, even at 2 rer cent., a'l exTiipt frai taxation, npon which letthera b hsnii $OuO,Oro cf currency, Ho exempt trail tara non, aa demanded oy tae banters, coaatini: their currency at a per c?nt. aud the bonis at 2. we have a net profit of S per cnt. on the capital investe l over and above the praSt t the bankers derived from osioo ndinj; inteiest and leaning deposits. Tais bsats any other boslnem iri this country. In the arguments in favorof the prpstaatlon cf that fjatem, it is insiatsl, nd properly to, that 'se mast have paper currency, and the National Bank currency is c jm pared with the State, and private baat currency of anti-bellum days, bat we never hfar any comparison made with the United States paper currency. It is certainly useless to arzue a;ainst the S'ate or private bank circulation, for there is vq one in the Government who would really favor the restoration of such a system. The will of the people seeass to be, that we have no currency except that which is ittned and controlled by the Government, asd net by private corporations. The wonder ia, not that the bankers should niaSe these demand, but that the people should comply with them. Theie is no donbt but that the National Bank currency ia ood enough, but one objection is that it C05t3 too much, and another and greater is that it i3 in the hands of corporations who can decrease or Increase the supply at will, independent of the wishes of the pecple, which is anti republican in its tendencies and should not be tolerated in this country. And still another is, that that system compels the Government to be a boirower of all the paper currency in circulatioa, which is also directly opposed to republicanism. A TBUK P.ErUCLIC SHOULD NEVER MAKE A DEBT. Our Government can not long stand onehalf republican and the other half aristocratic. It is the duty of the people to carefully consider all the measures sought to be adopted, and to promptly suppress all which have an aristocratic tendency. I not the exempting from taxation a certain and large part of the capital of our country aristocratic in its tendencies? Is EOt the trusting to a few private corporations for the Bunplj and control of the currency, aristocratic in its tendencies? Whatever currency we have, let it be iusael end controlled by the Government, and lat it be a Kgil tender for its face to the bondholder and the bod carrier alike. We chq not atlord to have one money for the rich, and another for the poor. I do not want to plac9 any trust in the man who has so liitla faith in the Govern.inent that he only considers its currency worth the commerc.al va'.u9 of the material c which it ia composed. He is a vampire; he is only interested in the Government to the extent of tho hlooi h can draw from it. Ha should have a pressing invitation to take aphis abode on the Eistern shore of the Atlantic. Ln oar trust rst upon the msn who eay3 I wiT stand or fall vith my Government. I will honor and resptct its currency everywhere, and at all times. I declare any dol Iar made by thi3 Government to be worth 1(0 cents, I care not of what it may be coaiposed. Upon these Eentimzntj oar Republic must stand or fall. When we had large armies in the field to b3 led and supplied with the munitions o war, we tried to cell bonds for gold and silver, but it could not be had, asd our armiei would have starved if we had had to depend upon that. But civilization taught us that currency was the crcatare of Governmeat, and we started on that line; and, thanks to tbe progress of civilized government, oar armies were well supplied, ana oar country prospered as It never had before, and continued in that prosperity until, on account of having certain parties in power, with their faces turned toward the rear, we were forced to "go backward" for several years. Experience ha3 taught n3 that the United States paper currency is "honest money the best in tbe civilized world." It may be right and proper enough for the bankers and everybody else to do the best they can for themselves in an honest way, but in one matter they do make a great mistake. That is that they asaume to be more wise and sagacious than any and everybody else. Their intense anxiety to accumulate large fortunes, and to do it in a very short time, overbalances their better judgment.

and hence they over-reach themselvss. Tney kill the hen which lays the golden egg, and the consequence is that many of them suddenly conclude that they like the Canadian Government better than this. That is tbe trouble in our country to-day. Too many of them have exhausted all tneir enerpy and their depositors' money to capture the goli-beiring fow 1, and, after dissecting her. they find her "just as all other hens are," whereupon the doors close. B. II, II, Indisrapolis, Jan. 20, 1835. i. u. i. Which Means a Democratic Divine IMsmlsaed. Communicated. BisaviLLE, Ind., Jon. 22. A feeling akin to that of disgnst, mingled with indignation, is being expressed in strong terms among the membfrs of the Presbyterian Church here over the action of their officials in aj recent meeting of that august body, wherein It was decided by a vote of eight to three that their present moral adviser, Bev. J. D. Thomas, must seek other fields cf labor. This business meeting consisted of eleven of the deacons and elders of the church, and after the defeat of a motion by one of their number, that rhe proceedings of the meeting should be held a profound eecret, each olScial in tnrn proceeded to voice his objections or his willingness of retaining the present pastor for the coming year, with the result above stated. The prevailing opinion of many of our bast citizers, ns well aa quite a number of the members of the church in qne?tion, seems to be that the main cau3e of the results of this official meeticg is on account of Bev. Mr. Thomas adhering to Democratic faith.- Bev. J. D. Thomas is a man of fine physique and endowed with rare intelligence and line Abilities, and has accomplished much genuine good for sinful humanity since his sojourn among ns. Beside his regular labors in the eld brick church, he has been instrumental in foccding a rew church in the West End, in which he labors incessantly among the roor ppople. Mr. Thomas was eeldom ever heard to express bis political opinions on the 8trets or engaging in political letter writing, bat tbe fact of his having served ia the Confederate army as a Chaplain is too much for the Re publicans, and they say he must go. V managing Poultry In Winter. This is the season when eggs are high, bat if the hens are rightly managed greater profits may be realized now than at any other time. The oft-repeated question is: "Why do the hens refuse to lay after the weather becomes cold? ' This inquiry we propose to attempt to answer, and numerous reasons may be given. lathe first place, a

warm and comfortable poultry hoi?s ia winter is absolutely tndlai4iibiMe to laying not that it oi est h bet"l with a store, but that thre enould be no cracis o cevice ia the walla, while the d jjr must be kept dry end clean. It should a!a hare plenty of light, and the rajs of heat f;ora the sun should penetra'e to every portion. While the hens are very partial to a retired, dark ben honse at night, they will not remain inside during the day unlesi th? house is well ventilated and light. Hence it may be noticed that an open thed i? often preferred to a warm, close dark poultry house. Tfce feed should ho givea "eirly. and the first ureal rnayTonüit of a mixture of bran, ground oats and corn in eqatl proportions, scald?.! 3" fed warm, bat tha bens should not be albwed a fall meal of the sofc food. A few swallows are euCicient. and the remainder of tbe meal thould r osist of who'e grain wheat or oats for whtcn they should be made to scratch by BMtterinj it in finely cat hsy, chaff, sawdnst, or vy kind u! material that will serre for be pirpo-r-s. The cbjeci in corspalling them to scratch for their food :"s to gire tbcra exerci;e. and prevent them, from becoming fa as ovtr fed hens will not lay. The best egr fjJ is that of a nitrogenous character, euch as milk, meat, etc, of which they should always receive a supply, n erculeat substitute for meat is fresh blood from the slaughter horn e3 It should ba cookea and thickenid with bran and corn meal, ao as to enable the attendftnd to crumble it to pieces for the fowls. A cabbaee chopped tine is excellent as a varitty, as is also clover hay cur in pieces ha,f an inch in length. The clover may be scalded ar.d added to the soft food if preferred. Hens should never be fed as much as tbey will eat darin; the day unless they are compelled to scratch, bat at night, just before going to roost, thev may be allowed all the corn they will eat. No fixed allowance for a hen can ba estimated, as they bhould receive only as much as they will cleanly eat. Among 'their requirements are groand bone, which may be procured from seedsmen, pounded oy3ter shells, gravel and pure freih water. Two feedings a day are sufficient, except in very cold weather. It is a difScult matter to prevent tho water from freezing at this season, and the plan has been adopted ot watering the hens three times a day, with water not very cold, adding a teaspoonful of tincture of iron to each quart of water. Cleanliness is enjoined, and the houses should be whitewashed occasionally. Hens w ill not remain in a filthy house nnie?3 forc&d to do so, and the dropping will compensate for the labor of their removal. With clean quarters, regularity of ffe-dirg, a variety of food, and warmth, there will be a plentiful supply of egs, bat tbe bees must be kept at work, while the dust bath should alo be provided. Something depends npon the breed. A common flock is'eaiily improved by the use of pure-bred cocks, and the cross adds vigor. Mongrel hens may be used, bat tho cock must bt well-bred. Large combs are objectionable, as they freeze, and the Brahmas are preferred by some for the reason that they are well feathered and have small comb3. The L?ghorns are the best layers, but have large combs and wattles A cross between a I.egnorn cock and Brahma hen is excellent, and may Le made more advantageous by crc3smg ae?in with the Brahma, so aa to secure b?ns" three-fourths Brahma and onefoarth Legr-om. The Plymouth Bocks are the most cjpe1y and attractive market chiefcs. and the hens are good Iayer3. The Langshars lay earlier than the other large breeds, while the Wyandottes are compact, hare small combs and produce fine market chicks. No breed possesses all the desirable point, bat judicious crossing will greatly assist in improvement.

A Sure Care for Catarrh. Catarrh is best described as a nasil old, and will if neglected become chronic, and thus by extending to the throat and lungs prove dangerous. It is not only very offensive and aenoying, but it enfeebles, aad if not attended to in time, destroys the mucous lining cf the nasal cavities. Bond's Extract is a specific remedy for this dieae. Its application gives immediate relief by removing all objectionable matter from tbe obstructed passages. For cases of particularly severe or chronic catarrh we recommend the use of Fond'a Extract Catarrh Bemedy, in which the medicinal virtuos of Fond'a Extract are combined with other well known ingredients, thus increasing the soothing and healing qualities of the remedy.
