wni is ir That rheumatism and neuralgia are sa 'prevalent? This question has not bee ttisfactorily answered, tat it is certain I'nat these diseases are not only the most painlul bat among the most common, and 'some member cl r early eiery family in Uw land is the victim of ona of these dread tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly liable to neuralgic attacks, which, in tie form of neuralgic ieadache, pain in the tack, or nervous paias are of constaut occurrence. Not until th discovery cf Athlophoros had any remedy been f creed for either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervcus headache, and they were cenerally conceded to be incurable, but Athlophorcs has bern proved to be not only a certain cure for these diseases in all their varied iorms, but a safe remedy. If, in the use of Athlophorcs, the bowels are tept freely cpen, its success is certain, end to aid this Athlopheros Tills are recommended, which', while providing the necessary cathartic, will be found to be a valuable eld totheactijn of the medicine. Athlophoros is no experiment; it has been tested and has proved its wonderful eüicacjjj The Athlophoros Tills were originally prepared as a remedy for t:se in connection with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used in connection with that remedy, they are a certain cure for either of the very common and distressing diseases. They have also been found to be an invaluable remedy for any and all diseases arising from vitiated blood or geneial debility. They are especially valuable for nervous debility, blood poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating, headache, constipation, loss of appetite, and all stomach or liver troubles. For diseases of women they are invaluable. These pills are perfect'y harmless and may be safely used by adults or children. Testimonials cf those who have been cured will be sent free on application. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can not be bought of the druggist the Athlophoros Company, 112 Wall street, New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which i3 $1 per bottle for Athlophoros and 50 cents for Fills.

THE YOUNG FOLKS. A Sirorg Hand ; cr, Hot Elsie Wa? ed a Spriiikhr'to Water Everything. A Good Father Knotty Problems for Sola. Hon by the Voutg Keadero of tho Sentinel. A Strong Hand. ' Oh, if. it would only rain!'' No one could tell how many times the wish went up, either spoken in longing tones, or as the wistful burden of heavy hearts as eyes went upward ; for they could see only the clear blue sky from which the July sun glared down with a heat which had no pity apon the poor parched earth with its withering crops and flowers, and its horses and cattle panting and holding down their heads as they worked. "The sprinkling-carts don't come alons half fast enough," said Elsie, es she looked out of the window at the thick dust in the streets. Every little puff of wind caught it up, and sect it in clouds flurrying in every direction, while every passing wagon made matter still worse. The sprinkling force was doing its very best, and the carts came along aa fast as they could with their cooling showers but the hot sun-rays followed so closely that, before the nezt ctrt came, yon ccuid not tell that one had ever been there before. Trees and fences and houses were thickly ccated with the dust. The grass looked as if it had forgotten, if indeed it had ever known, such a color as green ; for the drougth bad lasted a long time, and the river from which the town drew its supply of water was getting low, so that people were forbidden to use their hose. There was no comfort to be found in the house, for it was hard to choose between the heat and the dust outside and the close air inside. Elsie had a little bed of fiowers in which she took great delight. Her mother had given it to her out of the laige garden, and morning after morning she would water the flowers with her little sprinkler. They looked beautif ul becau ce of her constant care of thera, but of late they were inclined to droop in the fierce and long drouth. Yet they brightened up and seemed to smile every day as she sprinkled them, as if to thank her for the cool bath. 'I wish I had a sprinkler big enough to water the whole town," she said one day, on going back to her mother. "Wouldn't it be nice if some one had such a on?, and could go up oa the hill and hold it with a great strong hand so as to water everything." Elsie and her mother went a few miles into the country to epend a few days with her nncle, hoping to find things rr.ore comfortable. Hut the hot sun had been making havoc here. Uncle Edward was a great florist, and bad acres and acres of fowers, whkh had always been the delight of Eisie'a eyes to see. But now the curious and choice flowers, brought from every part of the earth, were drooping and burning in the great glass houses in spite of everything which could be done to shade them. And the lovely blossoms which spread over ic any a Meld, were bent down and withered as if suffering for a drink. "If two more days pass without clouds or rain," said Elsie's uncle, "my year's work will be wasted; for the flowers will be beyond the bearing of good seeds, and will die." "Ob," said Elsie with tears in her eyes, "can't you have them watered, Uncle Edward?" "No," he said with a smile. "We can not water thirgs by the acre, even if we bad the water whkh we haven't. All the wells are low, and all the cisterns dry. In seme places there is not enough to water cattle." And aain Elsie thought of the great sprinkler which might be held over ail the parched country, and wished more than ever that she could rind such a sprinkler, and could have such a strong hand. But lata in the afternoon many quick , glances went up at the sound of a low murinuring in the sky. Again it came, and many .anxious eyes could see a few clouds over near the sunset. And the blazing sun had to JbMe his head behind them, for before his bedtime came they were far up in the western sky. At length Elsie gave a little cry of joy as she held out her hand. "Here comes the great sprinkler!'' she exclaimed. And what a sprinkle it was not carried in a feeble hand to water a fe petted flowers; not in a cart, to make an attempt at layin the suffocating dust. Faster and faster came the willing drops, until Elsie with a laugh, was olliged to scamper in the ho nee. And it poured hour after hour, all night, out city and country, hill and valley, garden and lawn. The river, which had been too low to turn the mill wheels waa filling up to the top of the baoks, and the little tream rent dashing acJ rippling along their beds. When Elsie went down stairs In thf morning everybody seemed to be selling. Bridget trailed because the cistern was lull, her ancle Ajmiled because his flower crop was safe, and everybody else smiled -because thy couldn't h&'p iL Dut they were co thing U the out-xtf-oor smiles. The um strong hand which Leid the tr rinkler was now sending down a abeam of auBthia which turned the rain-drops on the trees and grass into a million diamonds. And the flowers on every aide looked up, as if rejoicing la their freshly-washed faces m ft, El3ie tfjougrj,, they might fc? wjhlr?g to t7i

'Isn't it beautiful to be a. Jlcwer-and a little rirl-' She looked lin ai. the bine skv. over which

some soft, Vhite clouds were floating, whis pering to mmseii: "I urver thought before what a great strong, beautiful hand it is, and how many, things it sends to me!" A Good Father. "Tell your mother you've been good beys new scholars. "Oh," replied Tommy, "we haven't any mother." "Who takes care f you?" she äsked.- "Father doe3. We've got a beautiful father; you ought to see him!" "Who takes care of you when he is at work?" "He takes all tbe care before he goes off in the morning and after he comes back at night. He's a house-painter; but there hn't any work this winter, and so he's doing laboring till spring comes. He leaves ns a wann breakfast when he goes off, and we have bread and milk for dinner, and a good supp3T when he comes home. Then he tells stories and plays on the life and cuts out beautiful things with his jack-knife. You ought to see our father and our home; they are both beautiful." Before long the teacher did see that home and that father. The room w as a poor attic, graced with cheap pictures, autumn leaves, and other little tnfles that cost nothing. The father, who was prep8-ing the evening meal for his two motherless boys, was at first glance only a rough, besrimed laborer; but before the'stranger had been in the place ten minutes, the room became a palace and the man a magician. His children had no idea they were poor, nor were they with fuch a hero as this to fight their battles for thtm. This man, whose graceful spirit lighted up the otherwise dark life of his children, was preach'.ng to all about him more effectually than was many a man in sacerdotal robes in costly temple. He was rearing his boys to be high-minded citizens, to put their shoulders to burdens, rather than be burdens in society, in the days that are coming. KNOTTY PROBLEMS.

BY MARC RET KOtMES What was it? that hall-said raessago I suddenly paused to hear, From the depths ol the wintry twilight, In a voice I held most dear. All the leafless branches, outlined 'Gainst tbe distant wall of blue, Were stilled In their icy armor, As they were listening, too. The winds were hushed; the foot-falls Ol the people on the walk Had a strange and dieamy cadence; The tangled ikeia of talk And singing and loud laughter In my cosy, firelit room. One instant seemed to vanish In a mantling cloud of gloom. 'Twas then the voice tpoke clearly; What, what weiethe words it said? I heard them, and yet I heard not. So thrilled was I with dread. And striving to remember, Through the long hours of the night, . The words of that message, wafted Like a bird's song in Its flight; Still, ever like dream elusive, Ttey Med: and I sighed, "Ah, me, I wonder If I shall ever Know what those words should be That came from the deep'ning twilight, The dim, snowy twilight t3 me; "Shall I know this dear one In peril, With never a helping hand. Bent to my soul this message I failed to understand:" A torjor abroad at midnight Was stealing its way to me; The gloom of its ghastly nearness Was over our revelry. The message half-way j pokeu From out the twilight chill Was the fleeting, dying echo Of a voice foiever still. When morning rose in splendor. With skies all gold and red, The messsge was completed; 'Twas only this: Found dead. HAPPY SUGGESTIONS. There are no two weighs aoout an honest ton of coal.

An Innocent Slab's Narrow Escape From the Gallows. INcv York Special. The inglorious uncertainty of the law, and the danger of determining judicial investigations where life is at stake upon circumstantial evidence solely, are well illustrated in the following story taken from to-day's Sun: It was upward of forty years ago, and I was then nineteen years of age, said Charles Webster as he laid aside his pipe with a sort of shiver, that I set out on foot from Stafford to Shrubbery. I being a born Englishman. On the lirst night of my journey I took lodgings at a roadside inn. There were two other strangers there that night, one a peddler of laces aad small wares, and the other a middle-aged man, who was sullen and uncommunicative, but who gave out that he was tramping from Stoke-on-Trent to Birmingham, in search of a job. The peddler was a jolly sort of fellow, and we had two or three glasses together, and later on I ."'jked him to give me paper for some 3 in gold and silver which 1 had loose in my pockets. With this request he cheerfully complied. One of the bills had a bit of the corner torn off, while there was a spot on the other as if lye or acid had fallen upon it Our exchange was effected without witnesses, although that was because we sit at the door and no one happened to be present. I had been brought up on a farm, but having received a legacy of 10) by the death of an uncle had set out to see the world, calculating to tramp it to save expenses. My iather, who was a widower, was a butler in the Bervice of a lord, and I had been living with an aunt on a small holding. I have no doubt I was as green as grass, never having been twenty miles from home. I took but 25 with me, believing that sum sullicient to see 'the whole world with. I went to bed in good spirits at the same time tbe peddler went upstairs. I had warned the landlord that I wanted to b off at an early hour, but early as I was astir THE SULLEN STRANGER had half an hour the start of me, not having remained for breakfast. The peddler was not np, and as I trudged away I left him a farewell. It was a tine June day, and I was in no hurry, as all sights were new to me. It was about 11 o'clock, and I was about twelve miles from the inn, and stopped for a word with an old man resting under a hedge, when three officers of the law galloped np and took me under arrest. My amazement prevented me from speaking for several minutes, during which time I was bound hand and foot and laid on the ground, and one of the party went off in search of a vehicle. When I finally inquired the cause of my arrest, one of the bailiffs drew down his left eye and replied : "Aha, but you are not so smart as you think yourself. Such chaff won't go down with us." A carnage was procured, and we were half way back to the inn before I knew that te peddler tad been found murdered in hi3 bed, and that I was looked upon as his murderer. I tell you, sir, it was such a shock that my wits entirely left me, and each one of my foolish actions and silly speeches was weif hed against me as a further evidence of my guilt. They had laid the crime to me because I had been on jolly terms with the peddler, and because I had the room next to him. When they came to search me they found my 25, and among the bills were the three" I had exchanged for. Curiously enough, they had been paid him by a farmer only two miles distant, and he was at the inn and identified them. 1 did not explain how I came by them, and both the host and myself seemed to forget all about the sullen stranger. I was so rattled that all I could do was to shed tears and ask them to take me to my aunt or eend for my father. They must have Been how green I was, and how badly I was overcome, but a murder had been committed and some one must be convicted of if. Some were eo bold as to declare that I was PLAYING OFF STUriP, and no ene seemed to think that there could be a doubt that I was guilty. I was hustled to jail in a dazed condition, and it was not until the next day that I recevered anything like coolness. Then I sent for my aunt, ana asEQon&sshe arrived we obtained counsel, but the preliminary examination was over before iy father J arrived, and I had been held to tbe higher court. There were two things that looked bad agaicst me. One was the bills which I had changed with the peddler, and the other was tbe ilnding of blood on my coatsleeve. There were fifteen or twenty drops which had soaked into the cloth, and how they came there I could never make out. Tbe peddler had keen a abbed to the heart as he lay on his back, and. of course, they declared that the blood had spurted on my sleeve as I struck the blow. They rather exptcted to find the knife on me, but thai they did not made no difference in their opinion as to my guilt. Neither my Lther, aunt, counsel or any of my acquaintances believed me guilty, but the only way to prove my innocence was to convict some one else. We sent to London for a detective, and he, of course, began work on the theory that the surly Btranger was the murderer. The country was scoured, but the fellow seemed to have left it, and not tbe slightest clew to his identity could be obtained. The day of my trial was rapidly approaching when the first discovery was made. The knife with which the murder was committted was die covered in the room which the stranger hal occupied, lie had flung it behind a wardrobe. While we knew that it was his knife, the prosecution would, of coarse, argue that it was my knife. No one had ever seen me with such a weapon, but that was no defense for me. TR0XG EVIDENCE. The case came to trial at length, and I was horrified at the strength whicu the prosecution developed. The sociability between the peddler and myself was made out to have been a plot on my part to put him off his guard. My departure at an early morning hour was another sign of guilt, The host remembered that I seemed nervous and ill at fate, and two or three persons who met me on the road within two or three miles of the river testified that I appeared to be in a great hurry and frequently looked back. All this was nonsense, as I have told yon, but that's what was sworn to. and it nad its weight with the jury. The worst point against me waa a piece of deliberate ana uncalled for perjury, and I have never been able to fathom tbe young man's motive, unless it was to mix

himself in the case and become a sort of hero. He swore that I rested under a tree about two miles from the inn this was a? I was approaching it from Stafford and he, from the other tide ot the hedge, saw me take out the murderous knife and strop it on my shoe. He swore to this point-blank, and I tell yon that I did not even stop at that spot. A NAEF.OW ESCArE. When the defense opened I was somewhat encouraged. We could prove my good character, my rightful possession of the 23 and the purpose of my journey. My counsel made a point in my favor by showing that I had kept to the highway, had traveled at a moderate pace, and had acted as an innocent man would have done. He challenged the prosecution to produce a case where a boy of my age, brought up a I had been, had become a murderer for the sake of possessing a few pounds of which he stood in no need. Well, sir, the case went to the jury, and in an hour they brought in a verdict of guilty. The testimony of the perjurer, the bank notes, the blood on my sleeve, these were conclusive bits of evidence to the jury. The verdict had only just been announced when a messenger spake to the Judge on the bench, and pretty soon there was a great commotion in court. Our detective had

nabbed the surly stranger in a tavern in Liverpool, The fellow had not read the papers, and therefore did not know that any one had been arrested for the crime. He had about 40 with him, and was about to start for Scotland. The detective made out that the evidence against him was overwhelming, and what did he do but make a full confession, which was written out and sworn to before ttey left the city. He did not attempt to go back on it when brought into court, but pleaded guilty, and preserved a sullen, obstinate demeanor to the very last. He gave his came as James Leffingwell, but would impart no further information regarding himself. He had the look and speech of a foreigner who had lived long in England. As a matter of course, I was set at liberty after a time, and, would you Delieve it, only three out of the panel of jurors came to me to express regrets and congratulations. The others acted as if disappointed that the true murderer had been fo.und. Leffingwell went to the gallows, and it was told me that he fought the baDgman and guards, and had to be bound hard and foot and held on the trap. Miss Cnahman'i "Meg Merrilles." The Gentleman's Magazine. The r'Meg Merriles" of Miss Cushman, however, bore no more resemblance to Scott's old crone than did the witches of Shakspeare to the wretched old hags that Scotch James persecuted. The "Meg" of Charlotte Cushman was a sibyi, a pythoness, before whose oracular utterances the boldest might have trembled. What a thrill went through the audience as she suddenly darted from the side scene and then stood motionless, with one claw-like finger of a skeleton hand pointed at Henry Bertram ; whal a face ! blanched and tanned and wrinkled and scarred, as it were, by the storms of centuries, blear-eyes, with Medusa-like gray locks straggling from beneath a kind of turban, while the tall bony figure was clad in a mass of indescribable rags, shreds, patches of all colors, marvelously real. Who that ever heard can forget her delivery of tbe prophecy, more especially the last two lines: Till Bertram's might and Eertram'g right Shall meet on Ellangowan's height The tall weird figure on tiptoe, tbe withered arms thrown up, one holding her Btaff far above her head, the flashing eyes, the.deep rough voice rising to the shriek of a bird ol prey upon the hnal word it waa not mere acting, it was an inspiration as great as aD y thing Kaccel achieved, i once heard an old actor, who was playing "Dandie D'.n mont, eay that he had to turn away his head while supporting her in her deitb scene; and I have seen ladies in the house cover their faces with their hands, unable to endure the sight of the dying agonies of that aw ml face in the last tierce Btruggle against the coming doom. When all was over, she was born ofl the staue, and some time elapsed between her death and the fall of the curtain, sumcient for her to wa9h off her hideous mask, and paint and powder ner race, though . the aress was unchanged, for the call. It was a carious bit of coquetry for jo great an artiste, but she invariably did it. Ali S3 Cushman's enpaement at the Princess' extended over eighty-four nights. though not consecutive, opera and other lichter entertainments alternating with her performances; an arrangement far more favorable to artistic acting than the present f rinding and monotonous drudgery of un ro ken long rims.

Harper's Weekly.l A leading American novelist, who sometimes finds pleasure in frivolitv. addressed a ' friend at luncheon as follows : "The date of the new year, 1887, records Incidentally a banquet at which there was one gormandizer and many moderate eaters. How many moderate eaters were there, and how much did they consume?" Answer: Eighteen ate seven (18-8-7), and one ate eighty-seven (1 8-87). A Creaking Hinge Is dry and turns hard, until oil is applied, after which it moves easily. When the joints, or hinges, of the body are stiffened and inflamed by Rheumatism, they cannot be moved without causing the most excruciating pains. Aycr's Sarsaparilki, by its action on the blood, relieves this condition, and restores the joints to good working order. Aycr's Sarsaparilla has effected, in our city, many most remarkable cures, in rases which baffled the efforts of the most experienced physicians. Were it necessary, I could give the names of many individuals who have been cured by taking this medicine. In my caso it has worked wonders, relieving me of Rheumatism, after being troubled with it for years. In this, and a IS other diseases ari.sing from impure blood, there is no remedy with which I am acquainted, that affords such relief as Aver 'a Sarsaparilla. B II. Lawrence, M.
