Thousand Hastened to their UniTM. By reiving on testimonials written in vi vi glowing language of some miraculous cures made by some largely puSed up doctor or patent medicine has hastened thousands to their graves; the readers having almost insane faith that the same miracle will be performed on them, that these testimonials mention, while the so-called medicine ia all the time hastening them to their graves. Although we have Thousand l'xu Thousands! Of testimonials of the most wonderful cares, voluntarily sent us, we do not publish them, as they do not make the cures. It is our medicine, nop Bitters, that make the cures. It has never failed and never can. We will give reference to any one for any disetise similar to their own if desired, or will refer to any neighbor, as there is not a neighborhood in the known world but can show its cures by Hop Bitters. Losing Joke. A prominent physician of .Pittsbar? said to a lady patient who was complaining of her continued 111 health and of his inability to cure her, Jokingly said: "Try Hop Bitters !" The lady took It ia earnest and used the Bitters, from which she obtained permanent health. She now laughed at the doctor for his joke, but he is not so well pleased with it, as it cost him a good patient. Fees of Ioctors. The fee of doctors at $3 a visit wouldtaxj man for a year, and in need of a daily visit, orer $1.000 a year for medical attendance alone. And one single bottle of Hop Bitters taken in time would ave the $1,000 and all the year's sickness. Given I j by the Doctor. "Is it jossible that Mr. Godfrey is up and at work, and cured by so simple a remedy?" "I as.;i you it is true that he is entirely cured, u-..i with nothing but Hop Bitters, and on I '-udaysao his doctors Rave him , and he 'mast die, from Kidney and

It is a mistake to tbink their colors vary according to the color of the substance on which they may happen to be. It changes according to their 'eelings. Sometimes, when angry anl excitel, baring been disappointed in the pursuit of a wily liy. they will turn Tivid green; and when cold, they are usually dark brown.

All three changed to different shales of green; one bluish, another yellowish and the third and smallest as bright and rank a green as I eier saw. At other times they would be light or dark brown, yellow or like burat-sienna, and sometimes fawn-color. Under their throats and on their breasts thvy are nearly white. They are green too when they f-leep. Mine almost always slept huddled together, clinging to the very top of the walls of their box. fed. I Youth's Companiox Lex had been busy all day, partly in elTorta to keep out from under customers' feet, rartly in running errands. When he turned away from the store at night, he was very tired. "Hi!" chatted Lex, as he pattered along the sidewalk, "aint dis yere cold, jes'!" It was cold, and was growing colder. The sun had an u Hied itself in a bank of clouds, a3 it hurried off to a warmer climate, turning a very cold shoulder indeed upon Lex and his surroundings. As soon as the sun was well out of the way, presto! up dodged the sly breezes that had kept quiet since morning, and spying the black boy on his way home made for him with eager glee. They could not do much with his hair, to be sure, it curled so tightly and closely to bis round head; but to make up for that, they pinched his ears aud pulled off his tattered hat, tweaked his fingers and toes, whooped and halloed at him, and threw dust in his astonished black eyes, until be felt as if he were in the paws of a great Polar tiger, playing with him cruelly and breathing on him from ber icy jaws. 6o the wind-kept on blowing, harder and harder, and the mercury in the thermometers sought to hide itself in their bulbs, until the very light of the moon above the chimneytops seemed to come down frozen. folder and colder it grew. In the North, people would not have been surprised at it, but Atlanta folks were not used to such cold, and it took them by surprise. George Alexander Jackson, or "Lei," as he was called for short, hurried along till he reached a small cabin on the outskirts of the city, and flamming the door behind hina, stood shivering before the stove, whose firelight, shining out between the bars in front, fell pleasantly on the floor, and danced all about the white kitten who blinked sleepily at Lex. "Well, Lex, got home fm yo' wo'kagin, aint ye?" said a stout black woman, cheerily, coming up to him and drawing his woolly head to her motherly bosom. "Po' little boy! He's done run all d' way home, now aint ye, honey? ' Lex bobbed his head and squirmed with the cold. "Dar, dar, chile, you jes' stay right in mammy's arms till ye get wo'm aa' coruf ble. Ileckon 'twon't be so cold ter-merrer. An' deLo'dwill pervide!" Chloe Jackson was one of the old slaves who had "got religion," as her master had eneeringly said. Truly she had "got" it, firm.'y enough, and not even her freedom in these later days was so precious to her. To Lex, religion as yet meant mostly "mammy," and he would have been as much alarmed had she stopjed using Scripture phrases as if she had stopped breathing. A comfortable sense of warmth stole through Ibex's sturdy little frame, an he watched his mother going about the room in iier preparations for supper. On the table, bare but clean, were set three plates of different sizes, and in varied stages of repair: a small teapot, a plate of hoe-cakes, and a crscked mug full of a dark liquid that Lex'a critical eye told him was molasses. A CUD and saucer for Chlo herself com. 1leted the tea-bet, and Lex was told to take lis place beside his mother and sister, the latter being a year or two younger than himself. Iiis fatner had gone quietly away to another country five years before, leaving his poor black earth-clothes in the little burying-ground outside the city. "Be quiet, chilluns!" said Chloe, softly, raising her hand. Then she proceeded to say grace rather longer than common. Lex thought, snlllhng the hoe-cake with his eyes shut. "O Lo'd, she concluded, her voice begin ning to tremble strangely, "bress dese yere chilluns, what yo' led outen de wild'ness O Lo'd, an' don't let dese yee little ones freeze wid cold, or die fer want of food, aa' doan, LcrdAmen." Lex looked up, surprised at her abrupt close, and caught sight of two big tears rolling down her cheeks. "O mammy! uummr! what re done err fer?" he beggd laying his head again oa her

(she never could break him of saying that)

'ter keep us Ira free in T "Dar, chile," she said, almost sharply, "doan ye eo ter axin' Questions. D9 Lo d an' I done got two er free secrets what pickaninnies runs' n know nurn 'bout. You jes' eat yo' supper an be quiet." His thoughts diverted for a few minutes by this last suggestion, Lex busied himself

with his bread and molasses. Then he asked, "Mammy, who was it you read 'bout in de Bible dat got fo or five t'ousand hoe-cakes f m a flock of crows?" "Laws-a-me. jes hear him !" cried mammy an ill-suppressed chuckle of fun driving the anxiety out of her face for a moment. ''Twas meat, meat, chile what dem birds bro't to 'Lijah." "An .would dey brung meat to us, mammy, ef we wus mighty hungry?" "I reckon so, honey," said Chloe, with a sweet look of faith in her honest eyes. "He's never fergot us yit" So Lex was satisfied, and returned to his post by the fire. Presently he looked up, with a little shiver. "Mammy, please put soma mo' wood oa de fire." Mammy glanced up quickly, then came to the small stove and stirred the brands together till they crackled and blazed again. "Lex," she said, quietly, "I'm gwine out fer a little while. You an' Bess stay here an' 'have yerselves till I rit back." Without further words, she drew a faded shawl over her head, and went out into the bleak night. It was half an hour or more before she came back. She kept her shawl about her till she bad sent the children out of the room on an errand, then deposited upon the floor a few sticks of wood she had brought in. When they returned, she was replenishing the fire. ' 'Pears colder'n ever," she said. You cbillun'd better go to bed now." And they went, curling up in a heap of straw and under a patched quilt in one corner of the hut. 'Are ye sho' de crows will come, mammy?" yawned Iex, as she tucked the raw edges of an old blanket around him. "Sho', honey, she replied, heartily. "An' could dey briag wood" But Lex was too sleepy to wait for an answer. It will be long before the Atlanta Deople forget the night of January 2i, 1S34? The bitter wind which only a few weeks before had ured a conflagration to do Its fearful work, until a whole city seemed mounting to heaven in a chariot of fire, now with icy coldness crept in noiselessly, to counteract the efforts of the very element it had so lately helped. In the night Lex had a ct-'ous dream. He thought he saw his mother creep softly into the kitchen, and bear the old pine table out of the bouse. Then there seemed to come a crackliij. iioite, aad.presently the fireligh. shone ou: merrily t'iroujhthe little bars, and Lex ' warm aud comfortable. Mammy stayed h.. u btove, occasionally throwing in" bits o' v -vi, until his dreaai carried him f'swiierTfe next morning I. x was waked by hearing Bess cryiug softly r-sde him. "What's ae mu. ,-. Hess?" he asked, sleepily. "I'ae 8-so cold! ' xh sobbed, cuddling up close to bias. Bat maaumuy's ears I id caught the sound too, and she was besiuV her little black lambs in a moment, coven tit them with the shawl ehe had worn the nielu before. As she did so, Lex felt somethif warm between him and Bess. It was the vhite kitten. It struck Lex as strange that ti. - white kitten should I refer his bed to the floor underaeath the stove, where she was -isually found on other rxoruings. At that same moment he observed that the steam was not putting from the teakettle, as was the wont "Wh-what's de matter wid de stove, mammy?" he stammered, rubbing his eyes. "Doan you bodder yo' head 'bout dat ar stove," said Chld with great cheerfulness. "I jes' let de fire go down a little, b'fo' bre.ßklas', fiat's all." libut-whar's de table?" Chlo? turned her head away at first, without answering. She had loved the four-foot table at which she and her husband had sat so often, and it had been a sore sacrifice to burn it up. But she had all her motherhood stirred in defence of ber children. She fought the cold as if it had been a living thing. Just then Bess catching the look, gave a little miserable wail of distress and cold. At that cry, the fierce light that sometimes conies into the mild eyes of her race flashed in Chlce's as she crouched by the little heap of straw ana glanced nervously about the room. There were only two wooden pieces of furniture that had survived the demands of that night; an old, broken-legged stool, which her husband had brought from the plantation, and which had always been specially set apart for him; and a small shelf, high up on the opposite wall, on which were laid a worn Bible and hymn-book. Chlo rose, hesitated a moment, then stepped across the room, swiftly reached up, and taking the two books from their restingplace, laid them carefully and reverently upon a few wisps of clean straw, in a corner of the hut. Kext, she gave the shelf a wrench that brought it down with a cloud of dust, and without pausing as if she were afraid of repenting opened the stove door and thrust in the foments upon the glowing brands. All these proceedings Lex and Bess and the white kitten watched with intense interest, and with very dubious faces. Bess no longer cried, but had hard work to keep her lip from quivering. Kitty put out one dainty paw, shook it as if she had dipped it into cold water, curled up again in Lex's bosom, and made a brave attempt to purr. Lex privately thought it might be time for the ravens. It comforted him a little, he hardly knew why, to think that they would be black, like himself those chosen messengers from heaven. He was cut short in his reilections by mammy. "I'se gwine out again," sue said, In a queer voice Lex had never heard. "I'se gwine out ter git eomefin fer ye ter burn an' ter eat." "But dem dem crows mammy?" "I'se gwine ter look fer 'em." And she was gone. "Mebbe dey mout 'light down roun de house," meditated Lex. "I'll jes' keep de cat inside de do' anyways." This time it was an hour before Chloe returned, weary, footsore, 6low of speech, benumbed with cold, he had left the shawl, you see, over little Bess. In her pocket she brought a few chips, two bits of coal, and a fragment of breadcrust. With the remains of last night's supper, for which she had used the last crumb of provisions in the house, they made a meagre breakfast. The children were not allowed to get up, so they did not miss the table so much. Still, the ravens did not come. Chloe dragged herself out once more, and returned empty-banded ! It was Sunday, and the church-belh, iu the wealthier part of the city, rang merrily. But congregations that morning were small. Those whose conscience permitted them to do so. stayed at home. The lower streets were thronged with poor people, crying for bread and fuel. The little white kitten, and many other kittens that day, white and black, mewed piteously for the meat the ravens did not bring. "Mammy," said Lex, "I'se pow'ful hungry. Doan y' tink it's 'bout time fer 'em?" The three-legged stool had gone, long ago. Mammy, her brave heart battling against the numb despair that was creeping over her, laid her poor rough hand on the boy's head, and sang: "O my way's cloudy My wsy O send do ni angels down." "Mammy!" Lex suddenly broke out, with a sharp cry, "was dat 'Lijah White?" Poor mammy! Perhaps If she could have had an image of Elijah's swarthy face as it must really have looked, she would have been comforted. Aa it was, she was fain to lay her finger on the Child's trembling lips, and go on singing. In the west the sun glowed in all lis mockery of red light, like a painted furnace ln a touaoolice, Jh iriaiH tfu, leaf

less wind! springing up again, blew oat the last spark of fire, and thrust itself through the wide cracks in the hutStill, mammy sat stiffly, forming the words with her lips: "Send them angels down, Mj way's clo-o-udy" "Mammy," moaned Lex once more "'pears like dem crows lost dar way, 'r else, der doan come to no brack folks. Dar day is!" he shrieked out all at once, jumping to his feet and almost upsetting mammy, who raised herself more slowly and listened. "Yes! it was a low, heavy rumble of wheels over the frozen ground. Nearer aud nearer it came. Chloe darted to the door. They were stopping two big wagons, one loaded high with wood, the other with baskets of provisions of every sort conceivable. The driver was a wealthy resident of Atlanta, well-known throughout the city, and doubtless, throughout heaven, too. God bless him! So the ravens had come, and Chloe and her little ones knew no more want that winter. The next morning the following telegram quivered over the wires to the great Northern newspapers, in the files of which you can find it if you look: "Atlanta, Ca., Jan., 27. The severe wether of the past week caused great suffering among the poor. On Saturday it was learned that hundreds of poor women aud children were huddling around their last burning stick of wood, and the Constitution of Sunday morning made an appeal to the citizens to send to the paper raonev, provisions and fuel which would be distributed by its business department. "At noon there were gathered together about sixty wagons containing wood and provisions. Merchants worth hundreds of tbousans of dollars took their places as drivers, each with a wood-wagon and a provision wagon under his charge, and started on a tour of the city, working all day until night fall. "All day the Constitution office looked more like a military supply depot tnan a newspaper oßice. Hundreds of sacks of Hour, coffee and sugar, sides of meat and hams, and on the sidewalk cords of wood were seen, while the streets were full of people clamerous for relief. No distinction was made in the distribution in regard to color." Who shall say that men are not still about their Father's business?"

Wisdom For Those About To Marry. They who 'marry for physical characteristics or external considerations will fail of happiness. Never both be angry at once. Never taunt with a past mistake. Never allow a request to be repeated. Let a kiss be the prelude of a rebuke. Iet self-abnegation be the habit of both. "I forgot" is never an acceptable excuse. A good wife is the greatest earthly Wessing. If you must criticise, let it be done lovingly. Make marriage a matter of moral judaient. . Never make a remark at the expense of the other. Cive your warmest sympathies for each other's trials. Never talk at one another, either alone or in company. If one is angry, let the other part the lips only for a kiss. Neglect the whole world besides, rather than one another. Let each strive o'tenest to yield to the wishes of the other. Always leave home with loving words for they may be the last. Marry into different blood and temperament from your own. Never fjeak in loud tones to one another unless the house is on fire. Never deceive, for the heart, once misled, can never trust wholly again. Never find fault unless it is perfectly certain a fault has been committed. It is the mother who molds the character and fixes the destiny of the child. I0 not herald the sacrifices you make to each ether's tastes, babita or preferences. Let all your mutual accommodations be spontaneous, whole-souled and free as air. Mr. ULalne's Kquivocatiou. IPortland (Me.) Argus. The custom of Mr. Blaine is to make one speech before a hall gathering in the evening and furnish another speech to the morning papers. The reporters have always been lenient with him, and have generally permitted him to revise their notes. So far as the Associated l'resa is concerned this is a notorious fact. But Tuesday evening the custom was departed from. Ilia words were taken as they dropped from his lips, tad were printeu as he uttered them, with one exceptionthe mistake of putting Kosciusko where the name of Kossuth should have appeared. The words concerning Salisbury whii h Mr. Blaine row disclaims were said by him in the Borl and City Hall, Tuesday night. They are on record; they were heard by hundreds of pe nie, and his silly denial v"ill meet with tin vntempt it so richly deserves. Knee-Deep in ltlood Not Deep KnougH. ll'arisKews. At yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies M. de La Kocbefoucauld complained that the words: "They did not cut off heads enough in 1793!" shouted by a member during the debate on the previous day, had been omitted from the minutes. He, therefore, demanded their insertion. The President replied that the House had not heard the exclamation, aud the report of the previous day's proceedings should stand unaltered. Is It Not Singular that consumptives should be the least apprehensive of their own condition, while all their friends are rrging and beseeching them to be more careful about exposure and overdoing. It may well be considered one of the most alarming symptoms of the disease, where the patient is reckless and will not believe be is in danger.

Grind up chocolate, put in a little pulverized sugar and pure cr eam and it is ready for use with the addition of ice-water. Orange Water Ice. Hub the zest of four oranges upon a half dozen lumps of loaf sugar, being careful in this orperation not to rub the white or underlying skin. Put the flavored lumps into a littie warm syrup and let them remain until dissolved. . Now take a dozen fine Florida oranges, strain the juice, and put with it the juice of one large lemon or two smaller ones, adding a pint of water, one quart of clarified sugar and the juice which was made from the lumps flavored with the zest. Mix all the ingredients together, then strain and put in the freezer and freeze. Itaspberry Vinegar. The following make) a delicious summer drink by stirring two or three tables-poonfuls of it into a tumbler of iced water. I'ill a stone jar with ripe berries and cover with pure, Btrong cider vinegar; let t.taml five days and then strain through a seive. pressing out all the juice. Allow one and a half pounds of white sugar to each pint of this juice and boil until the sugar is dissolved, removing any scum which may arise. Take from the fire, bottle and seal. Lemon Sherbet. Three pints lemon juice, one pint orange juice and six pounds granulated sugar. This will require about three dozen lemons and half a dozen oranges, all of large size. With a fine grater rub off the thin yellow rind of the fruit, but none of the white; the lemons and oranges separately, of course. Mix the gratings well with fonr times their weight ot pulverized white sugar and put into bottles, which keep corked when not in use. You have thus two excellent, pure, every-rcady flavorings for cakes, pies, pudding, blanc-manges, ices, and whatever else you like. Now pare off the white rind, scraping it clean down to the pulp. Cut the fruit in half, pick out all the seeds, squeeze out the juice with a squeezer, and strain It as fine as possible through a flinnel jelly-bag. Measure it, and to each quart of the mixed juices three pounds of sugar stir it until it is perfectly clear ayrup. pour into wide-mouthed bottles or jars, brimful, and keep in dark, cool place until they axe

clear and free from specks; carefully remove the scum, cover tightly, snd keep in a cool cellar or an ice -cheat. Thus made the sirup will retain its freshness for any length of

time. Tne above recipe should yield about four quarts, or sufficient for sixty glasses of yery rich sherbet. It may be mixed either with ice-water, as a cooling drink, or with hot water, as a night-cap. A pleasant mixed beverage is made by adding to the sircp an equal portion of raspberry sherbet. Five quarts scarlet raspberries, to quarts wine vinegar and eight pounds of granulated sugar. Gently mash the berries, put them into a porcelain-lined kettle, add the vinegar and stir three time a day for a week, keeping the kettle well covered meanwhile. Strain through a coarse tlannel cloth. Mix one pound of sugar with the seel pulp, work it well and strain. Put all the birup together into the kettle, add the rest of the sugar, boil and skim till the scum no longer forma, then bottle while still hot, and seal. It is diluted with cold water aud drank like the lemon sherbet. Citroa Ice Cream. Make a rich custard, using at least four eggs to one quart of milk, and half a tablespoonful of gelatine. The custard should be boiled until quite thick, then let it cool before putting it into the freezer. Just as it begins to be stiff stir in as much chopped citron as you will wish to have in it, the quantity, of course, depending upon your taste. The citron should be chopped very fine, and be thoroughly incorporated with the cream. Raspberry Short Cake. Take a coffee cup of sour cream; a teaspoonful of soda; flour and salt. Sift the flour and add a little salt; then stir the soda into the cream and before it tstops foaming turn it into the flour; mix stiff enough to roil out careful not to get it too stiff into three or four circles the size of a small pie tin; butter each and place on top of the other; bake until done in a quick oven ; pull tbe layers and spread each one plentifully with ripe fruit previously sweetened with pulverized sugar; place layer upon layer and serve at once with sweetened cream. WHAT PO CIULPP.O NEED MOST? Good food, Rood air, plenty of out-door exercise, and proper sleeping arrangements. If mothers will attend to procuring these for their children they will make doctors bills small items in the family expenditures, and render the visits of the undertaker rare events in homes where children gladden the hearts of parent. Mothers, take care of tbe children. Give each child its own bed. Never let a child leep with an adult, even if the person is healthy. Though many of the laws that govern our physical being are illy understood, yet it is conceded by the best physicians that children are greatly injured: by sleeping with older persons. Teach children to sleep alone, and in later life they will not be likely to violate the laws of liealtn by cuanging this habit, which is the refined end civilized method of taking rest. Spend no money for quinine pills aad other tonics for children. The same amount spent for good, pure milk will give 10) per cent! better result To keep milk pure aud sweet it must oe kept in scrupulously clean vessels and covered tight. Never leave milk uncovered; it is a great absorbent, and soon becomes tainted and unfit fer use. In warm weather stand the jar ot milk in old water, into Vthich a handful of salt has been thrown; let the water come nearly to the ton of the vessel. In this way the milk may bo kept weet. It is also a safe plan to scald, not boil, the milk on vt ry hot days. It should be placed on tin- s ve until a scum is formed, when it should be removed. Bv this treatj ment it is claimed it will keep much longer J and yield more cream, as the cream more - readily separates from the milk. Children should have their own innocent i companions and live in their own cliiUiworld. luev will make their own amuse ßients better than any that can be maie for them. Little lambs do not need to be tinght to fckip and play.

TSOITINS HORSES, The year tnark3 tlie day when 2.40 was considered a remarkable trotting record for a mile. Maud S., the present champion, ranie to the front in 1S30 with . 2.102, while her record is now 2.03. Sporting men claim that tbe horse will yet be bred which can go a mile in two minutes, while others hold that Maud S.'s time cannot be beaten. ! Not less surprising than this rapid reduction in the trotters' time is the speed with which Athlophoros has grown into public favor. As a single instance of its efficacy may be mentioned the case of J. Mr. W. D. Murphy, of No. 310 Yandes Etreet, Indianapolis, Indiana, who tells this 6tory : "I first contracted rheumatism in the war, in which I served four years and six months. After returning from ßervice the disease seemed to assume a eriodical form. 1 would have at least two attacks I every year, and between these attacks I j would suffer all the time. Often I could not walk or get out of bed, and the disease k would catch me in the legs, so that while standing I would feel as if I were about to I fall. It was one afternoon that I took my I first doc,e of Athlophoros, and then at night F I took another. 1 slept soundly that night, h The next morning when I awoke I had no pain. I took a few doses niore, but in all used only about two-thirds of a bottle lifnro tu v rheumatism ten rtnnp That I was over a year ago, and since-then I have I had only a slight twinge. So great is my confidence in Athlophows that I have recommended it to many different people. Amone them is a Mrs. Wright, a laJr t seventy years old, who was entirely rid of -ii i V 1 1. . i A cr an ner pain uy uie uieuicine auer suuering from rheumatism for fifteen years. Ia every instance it gave entire satisfaction." Mir. R. Förster, a dealer in furniture at Ko. 320 Main St, Terre Haute, Ind., who tells the following: "I have used Athlophoros with the very best satisfaction. I had neuralgia for years, and used about every medicine for it without obtaining any relief until I began taking Athlophoros. I wa3 told of the remedy by a friend who bought a bottle of it for me, and I took some that same night The next day I was as free from pain as if I had never had neuralgia. I went out and spent aeveral hours in a walk which the day before would have been misery to me. During the summer months I am never troubled with neuralgia, but if I should be again I would cer tainly use Athlophoros, of whose merits I am fully convinced. I have a bottle on hand, but have no use for it at present I have recommended it to several per5 sons, and have yet to learn of a Ringle instance where it did not accomplish its mis sion of good work. Miss Kate Warren, of Stockwell, Tndwho says that she has not been able to effect a complete cure in her case because X of inability to obtain Athlophoros when she desired to use it, nevertheless gives tht tpstimnnv tn ita merits? j "I have' used Athlophoros and have r been very much benefited by it. I heartily I recommend it to all I meet who are snffering from that dreadful disease, rheumatisra." 'ii If you cannot cot ATHipn0R03 of your drnirRist, we wiil aend it express paid, on receipt of j regular price one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy It from your druggist, but If ha I hasn't it, do not be persuaded to try aomethinir f else, but order at once from us, as directed. ATHLoraosos Co, in WU SirjcW New York,
