If we'd thonght at our last meeting With the friend we loved «o dear By his grave wo’d soon he standing, Dropping down the silent tear. Would that word we spoke so lightly Have been uttered by us then? Would that, in our silent sorrow* Wo could call it back again! If we’d thought that soon a parting Would us sever far and wide. That some of the gladsome faces - Would be soon across the tide. Would the hasty word and aotion. Would the satire sharp and keon. From our lips have ever fallen, Or the action e’or been seen? If we'd thought the friendly counsel Was thp last wo e'er should hear. Would we then have scoffed so lightly— Let our hecdlessness appear? If wo’d thought the kind inquiry Soon would cease forevermore. Would it then have"boon a trouble. Would we then havo wished it o’er? If we’d thought that act of kindness Was the last our friend should seek. Would we have by cruel harshness Brought the blushes to his cheek* If we'd thought our heedless folly Would have left so doep a sore. Would we then have spoken rudely? Would wo not have hushed it o’er? If we’d thought—alas! the sorrows That the words awaken now; If we'd thought, ah, then the wrinkles Would be fewer on the brow; If we’d thought that death was coming— Will that be our latest cry?

A tall, slim, youthful looking maa entered, cast an easy-going look around, smiled an easy-going smile, which would have told a student of character that ho was probably accustomed I o having his dinner served unpunctual]/, mid to not troubling himself much about it; that if a ten-pound note were unaccountably missing, ho .would lie very likely to say that it didn’t matter, he must have mislaid it.. This gentleman uttered a general “good evening ” and looked as if ho had a great deal of •' leisure op Jiis hands, though no m:m ever had less. “ Oil, Robert,” observed Margaret, “you arrive just in time. Laura h w been so agitated about the chain pagio that she lias been giving mo advice— ‘judicious advice,’ without the jam that .they added in the ‘Hunting of the Snark.’ I’ll leave you to the delight ful task of relieving hftr miud on the sul>’jeet. Good bye, Laura; I shan’t see you again until 1 am ready dressed for the sacrifice.” t. She went out of the room, and the husband and wife were left alone together. Mr. Pierce laughed. “ You’ve been advising the Incorrigible,” he said. ‘ “My dear, I am surprised at you. Don’t be uneasy about the champagne. There’s lots of deeming now.” \ • “'Thank Heaven!” i “Shall we have a bumper now in • -bonor of our emancipation ?’ ’ “Emancipation from what?” , “From the guardianship of Miss Margaret Barrington—from the necessity of keeping up the absurd farce of pretending to manage a person who is quite -unmanageable. She is a dear girl, I confess; lout I shall like her better now than I ever did before. If she has not judgment, she has gratitude. I was Unite touched by the way in which she thanked me this morning for ‘all I had done for her;’ and asked if she might come to-me for advice in her money matters.” “Ah! that is very well, but she ought Dpt tj) have come to you. She ought to have a husband to go to, who will :ake her money matters into his own hi nds. I wish »•>« »«s«ny BSSnrtid.” “Perhaps her husband might not wish it, after a little while,” sail Mr. Fierce, with'a good-humored laugls. “You are bund, Robert, absolutely blind. Have yon never discoverer yet, what has long been as plain to me as the sun in heaven-#—-” “He isn’t always Very cleverly viiblc, my dear, in our climate.” “Pooh! As plain as the sm in heaven. I repeat. Her husbant will be Maurice Biddulph. It is only a question of time. Nature, and the position of their estates, and their ages and everything else, all point out that they were intended for one another. If ever *>. marriage was made in heaven that one was.” “In Heaven, perhaps, but it ha 5 not got accomplished on earth yet, ; nd I should doubt if it ever would. Thos; are just the kind of marriages that t e.ver do come oft, and I’ll lay you what odds |you like, Laura” (with a sudden look of cheerful animation) “that Bidc’nlph and Margaret never do get marriei.” 4 “I know that both you and Mar/aret delight in trifling with my most sr, cred feelings and wishes,” cried Mrs. Pi >rce, much agitated. “ Can you not see that you will ruin all my plans if you go < m in that wayJ Do hold your tongue, Robert, if you can do nothing else to help me?” “With pleasure, my dear; I am sure I doh t want to interfere; but tc tell you the truth, I should not be so keen about this marriage, if I were you. Biddulph is net good enough for her.” “Not good enough! Why, lie has a larger place than she has, and more money. Look how handsome ha is! what a man of the world! what manners! what a position in his county!

“Oh, yes! only he happens to be just ajittle too clever, Laura; he can’t f >rgot himself. Joking apart, Margaret lias a mind and he has not; you may be very ’cute, you know, without having a mind, if you know what I mean.” “Indeed I don’t,” said his wife, with deep disgust. “I know that yon are talking slang, and that you never have liked Maurice Biddulph-” “No, I never hav6, and ifhless f am mistaken, neither has Margaret. I think he monopolizes her, or tries io do so, in a very impertinent manne:. I $ should not be sorry to know that sh had given him a good snubbing.” _ “ She will do no such thing, or i f she did, she would be a fool. Pray ceep quiet, unless you want to make mt per- * fectlv wretched.” “Not I! Y«u should be getting dressed by now, it strikes me. l tonl bother your head about anything, and leave Margaret to settle Biddulph’s hash in her own way.” “ You will make me ill, if you talk in that way,” said his wife, going out of the room with a look of anxiet r on her face. CHAPTER II. HISS PEDCIVAL'S PROSPECTS. ‘ Margaret, leaving Mr. and ( Pierce, wandered off to her own r > and sat down in a chair near her I She oast her eyes around the r» which was curiously untidy. “ What a place!” she muttered, looks as if my trousseau were bein.' ready for this horrible wedding i they rre always wanting to din int > ears. It is enough to disgust any with the very idea of being mai r tkunine of age, and such a fuss n about it!

x: tiiear to the seals of young ladies, nrere scattered heie and there, while on he bed lay a fairy-like, diaphanous ihing—her dress for the dance that right. She felt a sudden sense of loneliness uid desolation as she gazed round upon all these things; as she felt how rich she was—and how poor; as she realized, with a keen and Emitting sense of selfreproach, that all her lire she had been bought for, acted for, held in leadingtrings—had never lifted a hand to keeps »ny one, never dried a tear, never soothed a griof. That if she “ followed the advice of her friends,” as Laura had just said, she would hasten to rid herself' of her responsibility as soon as possibi e. by putting herself, body and soul, and her possessions, into the hands of some man who, it appeared, was to confer an inestimable benefit upon her by taking possession? of herself and her money, and doing as ho (deitscd with both the one and the other. Such thinly disguised under some pretty wonls, was the creed that Lanra held; such was the whole, tendency of the upbringing Margaret Harrington had received. It seemed it had not been qube a strong enough dose, or else her nature was a. very rebellious one that the usual doses of that kind had failed to have due effect, for, as she sat here, alone, she thought: •jl wonder—and I must know, too— if what they say is all true. Is it really so li aid for a woman who is rich and good-looking, to get on without a protector? Should ]l really be certain to do something weak or absurd? In that case it was very odd that poor papa should have left no restrictions as to the use I was to make of my money. Surely he, if any one, should have left orders as to how it was to be disposed of. I feel that there lias never been anything real about my life. I don't want to do anything bad, but I am quite detern: ineu that I will sow my wild oats in my own way, in spite of Lanra and

Kotiert, ana Maurice uiaanipn, ana ail of them. Not in smoking and drinking, of course, because that would give me no pleasure, but in learning a little! about real life!" She paused on this phrase, thinking it over and pondering upon its mystery, conscious that all the different branches of learning (condensed) which she had spent: so much ttime in acquiring Ujtd taught her nothing of it “All .ray Cambridge certificates, my honors and my prizfcs, have pot taught me, at one-ana-twenty, to know how to do the good 1 should like to do—how to avoid the evil which I know exists. And when I ask people to tell me what are the’ best safeguards they shriek out : *Oh, hush! How can you mention such things’ At your age, and in your position, you should not even know of the existence of anything so shocking.’ It is a curious code. All these presents, now—I wonder how many are genuine ‘affection’s offering.’ As if I wanted the poor children to deprive themselves of their weekly sixpences in order to give me a present! Tom’s is genuine, though—I know it is because it’s so shabby. He bad great intentions, but. a knife with ninety blades drew seven and sixpence out* of his pocket as a magnet draws a needle. Poor Tom ! And then he had only half a crown left, to buy me a pair of gloveg—and such a pair of gloves!” She held them up—a mile too large and of a brilliant orange hue, and her smile was not altogether free from tearfulness. “He-thought they would match well with my hair! Well, to please, him, 1 would boldly go into the country roseshow next week with them on. I couldn’t do more than that, and-” A knock at the door caused her to drop the gloves, and cry: “Come in!” and, when she perceived who entered,, to add: “Miss P'ereival!" A girl about her own age came in—a slight, delicate, refined-looking girl, with a pale face, dark hair, and dark, pleading eyes; a girl with a look of weariness,and languor about her, wfrich,, asryev, waS’Wol hracET moixTthan wliat is called “interesting,” for she was had young, and loneliness and toil not vet made her haggard and unlovelv. “Good evening,” pursued Margaret **I have not seen you once to-dav.” “No. Mrs. Fierce begged mo to keep the girls out of her way, so we have been in the school-room all day. Now t hey are dressing themselves, and I just came to congratulate you, Miss Harrington, and to wish you many happy returns of the day.” “Thank you!” said Margaret, du-: biously., “Wont you come in and sit down a moment—if you can leave those precious infants to their own devices, that is?” “Oh; yes. Nurse is helping them. They told me what beautiful presents you have had; the account of them makes me almost ashamed to offer mine, it is such a poor little thing. But; I thought 1 heard you say once that you liked this kind of thing.” She held, out a small embroidered silk bag, worked in a dainty, old-fashioned style —not worth much, as regarded materials, but on the manufacture of which both time and trouble had been bestowed. “ How very kind of you!” cried Margaret, sincerely touched by this proof of attention and good will. “ It is just the thing I like; it is really very good of you,” she repeated, as she took Miss Pereival's hand within her own, anil looked at hey with her bright, frank eyes. If any one had ask ed Margaret whether she knew Miss Percival, she would have replied: “Certainly, I know her well!” because for two years she had lived in the same house with her, and because it was rarely that a day passed on which she did not see and speak to her. But, as a matter of fact, she did

uvv jvuv> r auu, nibuuui lUlVUUIU]^ or perpetrating any unkindness, had taken very little notice of her. So little did she know her that it had never even occurred to her that she might be an object of greater interest to Mii>s Percival than Miss Percival was to her. (Which, indeed, was the case: Marion Percival, for many reasons, took a deep interest in Margaret Barrington.) A fresh idea, a now interest aamc withs-re-fresliing brightness.to Margaret; and it just happened jha.t Miss Percival came with her present of a work-bag at a moment when the person for whom that work-bag was intended was in the humor to make much of such an incident. The present and the good wishes of this hitherto unnoticed young person came upon her sis a surprise—struck her as being distinctly noble and.disinterested amidst so much which she felt obliged to regard with feelings of doubtful gratitude. A tide of new feelings rushed over her mind. She wondered, as she looked into Miss Pcrcival’s face, what sort of a place she found the world— whether it wagged agreeably for her; what was her privato and genuine opinion of her pupils, her employers—of Margaret Barrington herself, for example. With Margatet, to form such speculations was generally to give utteran ce to them, and she said: “Miss Percival, you are going to be at my ball to-night, are you not?” “ res," said Marion, unenthusiastically. “ You don’t look pleased. iJon’t you like da.ncing?” “Oh.'very much; when I have any one to dances with.” “ What do you mean? Yon will find plenty of partners—or, rather, they will find yon. Why”—she looked her over with quick scrutinizing glances—“y ou are far prettier than most of the girls who will be hero to-night; and you are a lady, which most of the Irkford swellesses arc not. Miss Percival looked a little scandal(borrowed fram swfeUesses,” by*

--——- pleased, all the game, at being told, by a liteanty and a country heiress, that she was pretty and a lack, and she said, smiling with a kind of chastened hopefulness.” “ Well, perhaps I shall be more lucky to-night tint I have been present at Mrs. Pierce’s balls before, and I did not have many partners.” “I will take care that yon dance tonight” said Matgaret, rather too eagerly, perhaps. •‘I should like to dance to-night,” said Miss Percival, ingenuously, “ for I have got a new dress which Mrs. Pierce gave me—such a pretty one. But she would not like me to dance too much, especially ifany of her guests were sitting out’’ '* “Nonsense! Some girls will always be wall-flowers. Men won’t ask them to> dance to oblige anybody. But you aic not that kind of girl, and why should you bo left with them?” “ Oh, it doesn’t matter,” said Miss Percival, looking a little alarmed at the effect produced by her admissions. “ But it does. "You shall dance tonight, and—do you like waltzing?” “ Yes, very much.” “You shall waltz with the best waltzcr in the room. I will give him that praise, if there is not much else to be said of him. Do you know whom I mean?” “I—how should 1?” asked Miss Percival, blushing violently, no doubt in her joy at the prospect of waltzing at all. “Well, I mean Mr. Biddulph. He will do anything I bid him, and ne shall waltz with you. “ But—but—I do know him a little— quite enough for him to ask me to dance if he wished it. It would be horrible to have to dance with him against his will.” wr -n* t 1 i. i —Mi .1 . . ,i •.

uvtuiu a iuii uuiuutjtu n in against his Will. Make your easy. So you Enow him?” “Only very slightly. Sometimes, you know, 1 meet Inn* when 1 am out with the children, and he stops to ask after Mrs. Pieree—and you. Sometimes he asks if he will iind you in, should he call. That is all.” “I see. Is it trite, what I heard tho other day, that you are leaving Mrs. Pieree soon?” “yes. I am leaving at Whitsuntide, which is at the end of this month.” “Indeed. And have you got another nit nation?” “I have heard of one. Ithope to get it. It is at Blackford Grange, near Fonlhaven.” “Foulhaven on the east eoast, do you mean? That is an out-of-the-way kind of place.” “Yes; it is. But I have a particular reason for wishing to go there. Two reasons, indeed.” “Have yon? Is it allowable to ask what they are?” “Oh, certainly. First, the salary is such a good one. It is one hundred and ten pounds a year. That is splendid, you know.” “Is it? I am sure I am very glad of it. And the next reason?” “Fonlhaven is a seaside place. It is cheap and quiet. My sister, who is tho only relation I have, has become a great invalid. Soon her money will be done, and this place does not suit her. The air is baa, and she has poky lodgings in a back street. Mrs. Pierce only git es her governess sixty pounds a year, which is soon spent at Irkfotd. If I get this place, my sister can go and live at Foulhaven, and get strong, I hope; and then I shall be perfectly happy.” This disclosure mightily excited Margaret. Here was a case of struggle and poverty under her very eyes, and she had never seen it; she had only thought sometimes how very shabby Miss Percival was, and wislied she dared to offer her a new dress. Now the cause was revealed of this shabbiness; she denied herself for her sick sister’s sake. That went straight; to Margaret’s heart. And Miss Pereival was looking forward with joy to this prospect, which seemed to Margaret a- vepf-d'wwt H- stv-—-—. “ What is the matter with your sister?” she asked, abruptly. “ I hardly know. We have not consulted tne best doctors. It is so frightfully expensive. Two guineas for live minutes'.talk, you know. Her back is weak, and she has nearly always to lie down. Oh! I do hope I shall get to Foulhaven! The air would do her good, and I should be able to look after her. Ah! you do not know, Miss Barrington, what it is, not only to know that thoso you love are weak and lonely, but also that they are not provided with the comforts they require. Every time I see her she seems to droop a lit tle more, and a little more, until some time I fear I shall go and find she has drooped away altogether—and then I shall be alone!” Here Marion covered her face with her hands, and sobbed aloud—-genuine sobs, accompanied by genuine tears. Margaret’s whole mind and soul were on fire with sympathy and longing to assist. Here was her duty plainly before her, pointed out by Heaven, if ever a duty was. The one thought that held her back from speaking that instant was the desire to learn whether she could not extract from it something more than dry duty—some romance, some interest. It was on this rock of longing for a poetical denouement that many of Margaret's little schemes had already gone to ground. What should sho do in this case? Offer Miss Pereival five hundred pounds on the spot, as a free gift, say: “Go to Foulhaven, or any other haven, and stay there with your sister at my expense, until she is better.” Such were the two chief ideas which rushed through her mind. Then again came a gleam of reason. Her guardian’s oftrepeated words occurred to her, like a breeze rustling through a wood: “Sleep upon it.” After all. that would be the ljesf. She must curb her impatience;

so sne comenteu nersen with saying: “ Miss Percival, don’t cry. I am so glad yon told me. I will help you with your sister.” Miss Percival gasped, and gave an astonished glance upward. “Yes, I will. No, you must not look proud and horrid like that. I know what I am doing. We will talk it all oyer to-morrow. You will take me to see your sister. Now I feci that I have a prospect of being a little happier.” “You—happier!” ejaculated Marion, with such genuine, incredulous earnestness that Margaret said: “Yes, happier. Surely, you won’t deprive me of that.” But she was musing stil}, her mind on distant tracks. In such souls thought flics like lightning, and strikes with a force akin to that of the electric fluid when it enters with an idea. Margaret suddenly gave a great start. Her eyes flashed; her lips parted; she said with haste, as if the information were of vital importance: “What would you have to do at this place, Foulhavcn? How many pupils would you have?” “It seems there is a girl and a boy. The boy is an invalid. I should teach the girl always, and the boy sometimes, when he is ht for it—to read history with him, and so on. The reason they give such a high salary is, because I should not have long or regular holidays.” [to be continued.] —A humane person wrote to a New Yprk paper a communication which ho evidently intended to bear the caption line: “A Plea for Homeless Dogs.” The truthful compositor, who could not tell a lie, spelled the word “plea” with a capital F.

It is quite as fatal to.win as to lose in gambling operations. Success induces repetition, and the losses inevitably come. The Medieval English Farmer. Both horses and oxen were used on the land; wheat, barley, oats, rye and beans and peas were grown. The medieval farmer was entirely dependent on his hay and straw for the winter keep of his stock, for there were no winter roots, and the bay was only the produce of native grasses, artificial grasses being unknown for three hundred years longer. Cattle and sheep were fattened in summer and killed at its close and thoir llesh salted foi winter use; for few could he kept ir. condition, save at great expense, through the winter months. The old song of “Summer is y-eumi'n in," meant much more in those* days than it does in ours; the return of spring and summer meant a return to fresh .meat and fresh vegetable diet. Onions, garlic and mustard were grown, ‘ but the profusion of garden produce of the present day was quite nnkuown, an-l food, though abundant, was coarse and wanting in variety. Prof. Rogers has noted only one instance pf ttre'pifrfrhaks ottrqTfSPtSFor-almiBid of “eabeobf5 seed in 1458, by King’s College, Cambridge, at the enormous rate of four shillngs per pound, and this was probably an experiment. The cultivation of the hop was introduced from the low countries early in the sixteenth century, and somewhat later sheep-farming began to take the place «»f agriculture, and was a subject of complaint and of legislation. “The practice appears tc have arisen from two Causes—the deficiency of capital, owing to the general impoverishment of the country, and the high prkes of wool.” In 1582 some lloekmasters had 20-,000, 6,000 or 5,000 sheep, and it was enacted that in future no one should have more than 2,000. Wheat and rye from the Baltic were imported in quantity sufficient to attract the notice of the Legislature, so that the English farmer was exposed to competition in corn while he had the practical monopoly of the wool market. As a consequence land was laid down in grass, and yast inclosures were made from tho common field; and it was this practice, and the injury done to the poor by depriving them of their curtilages, that were the chief cause of Ket’s rebellion in 1549, which is “remarkable as being the last attempt which English laborers have made to secure what they believed to be justice by fyree of arms.” Poultry and geese wens everywhere reared, and must have been very welcome luxuries in winter. The price was low, a capon or goose averaging 4d. during thp fifteenth century. It should bo nqted, though the remark is a trite one, that a low money value by no means indicates cheapness, which is relative to prices then current, and can not be compared with the prices of today. The purchasing power of money in tho fifteenth century was extremely great. The average price of an ox was 18s.; of a good saddle-horse 55s.; while

wneai averaged os. v<«., anit oats 2s. Id. a quarter; but the wages of an ordinary laborer were barely 4d. a day, and the rent of arable land did not exceed 6d. an acre. The yield was very small—not more than a fourth of that of the present day—and it may be put down that the average yield of wheat was not over 7 bushels to the acre. When, in 1544, the debasement of the coinage begun, a notable but variable rise was effected in every commodity but one, the exception being glass, the manufacture of which had been greatly improved. Taking the average price of the first 140 years as unity, the rise in the price of provisions was 2.71, but the price of labor rose only 1.62, a difference which sufficiently explains the evil times that fell on the peasant. The golden era was past. “ From the epoch of Henry’s death, the degradation of the English laborer begins, lor nearly three centuries the artisan suffered with the peasant; that is, as long as the combination laws impeded the creation of those labor partnerships which we call trade unions. But the condition of the farm laborer has gone on from bad to worse, has become more hopeless The best and roost capable of them have fled from their traditional occupation, and at the time at which I am writing (1881), as I foresaw when I wrote the last words of my first volume, sixteen years ago, the agricultural problem in England is not the adjustment of local burdens, or the arbitration of rent, or the revival of confidence in those who put capital into land; but it is assuredly the recall of the agricultural laborer to effective ami hopeful industry. It is a striking illustration of the fact that economical history has no break in its chain of causes, but that we are still engaged with a problem which had its remote but certain beginning in the wantonness of Henry VIII., and in the rapacity of that aristocratic carmarifla of adventurers which he planted round the throne of his infant son "—lontim Sjnctator.

Malaccan Elephants, Monkeys, and Lizards. It is satisfactory to read that the elephant, so near extermination in Africa through the pursuit of the ivory trade, is still plentiful in these forest covered interiors, though novelty seemed its only recommendation to Miss Bird as a beast of burden. Half a ton is considered a sufficient load for one if it be of metal, but if more bulky, from four to six hundred weight.' In passing through the forest an elephant always puts his foot into the hole that another elephant’s foot has made. They have the greatest horror of anything that looks like a fence; and a slight one made of reeds usually keeps them out of padi, cane and maize plantations. The insect which can draw blood from the wrinkled hid* of an elephant is curiously small. The boiled or stewed, trunk of the latter, we are told tastes much like "beef. A most tender acconnt is given oi the living and dying of a tame mon key, which Miss Bird believes to be an “agile gibbon—a creature so delicate that it has never yet survived a voyage to England”; anil curiously human are the differences in disposition between different species of monkeys which she observes. When tamed by living with Europeans these apes acquire a great aversion to Malays. Some small bright-eyed lizards whicn ran about her room went up the walls in search of flies. They dart upon the fly "with very great speed, but just as vou think they are about to syvallow him, they pause for a second or two ami then make the spring, “I have never seen a fly escape during this pause, which looks as if the lizard charmed or petrified his victim.” The Malays have a proverb based upon this fact: “Even the lizard gives the fly time to pray.” One evening Miss Bird found seventeen lizards in her room and two in her slippers!—London Nature.

Society in Washington. Then there is the hotel society. The ladies staying in the Brown House all receive on the same day. Ladies calling can thus kill all the hints, socially speaking, there are in the Brown House, with one handful of cards. The ladies of the"Smith House have another day; the ladies of the Robinson House another day. Then at intervals each hotel has a soiree, invitations to which are generously distributed. There is a fine band and'a finer supper, and dancing is unlimited. Congressmen and their wives and daughters, lobbyists, Southern Colonelsand numerous “Generals,” visiting strangers, politicians, and the rest make lip a mixed company. At one of these entertainments the wife of a Congressman whoSe constituents had omitted to re-elect him spoke sharply to a lady sitting on a sofa next to a friend of the Congressman’s wife. “You might move up, said she. When the lady had “moved up,” and the Congressman’s wife had settled herself down in the room thus obtained, she turned to her friend and proceeded: “Yesj” said she, “it’s just as I tell Lyeurgus. This Washington soe'ety unfits one for any other society. You can’tgo back to the society yon were used to once—you just can’t. No; I tell Lyeurgus we must come back to the House.

A DETECTIVE’S EXPERIENCE. HI* Successful Undertaking and Escape from an Impending Fate. (Buffalo, N. T„ News.) One morning several years ago, Just as the dull gray light was beginning to show itself in the East, a small band of men might have been seen deployed about a house on Ferry street, in Buffalo. There was nothing special either in the dress or appearance of the men to indicate their intention, but it was plain that they had business of importance on hand. Suddenly a man appeared at one of the windows, took, in the situation at a glance, and, swinging himself outward witli wonderful quickness, scaled the roof of the house. This man was Tom Ballard, the notorious counterfeiter; aud, armed to the teeth and fully realizing his situation, he defied justice and the officials below him. Some of the officers, knowing the desperate character of the man, proposed to shoot him until he was killed, but one of the number promptly protested, and declared that if his brother officers would assist him to ascend he would capture the man alive. Accordingly he began the difficult and dangerous task, rfnd succeeded in bringing his prisoner to theground in safety. The man who accomplished this task was Mr. Thomas Curtin, the present Superintendent of City Police of Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Curtin is a man who is known by every prominent detective and policeman in America, and he stands pre-eminently in the front rank of his profession. Quiet and gentlemanly in appearance and manners, he possesses a courage, combined with marked physical powers, that mako him the terror of evil-doers and the pride of law-abiding citizens. Few people can realize, however, the trials, exposures, and even privations, to which the members of every municipal police and fire department are exposed. Compelled to be on duty at uncertain hours, subjected to the most inclement weather, and often necessitated by the nature of their duties to protracted undertakings, they endure a nervous and physical strain that is terrible. Such was the experience of Mr. Curtin in former days; and it is not surprising that he found himself suffering from a mysterious physical trouble. In relating his exgerienco to a representative of this paper, e said:

am i>uurs nucu i was wu uuvj nuuiu feel an unaccountable weariness and lack of energy. My appetite was also uncertain, and my head seemed dull and heavy. I did not fully understand these troubles,but supposed, as most people suppose, that I was suffering from malaria. I tried to throw off the feeling, but it would not go. I thought I might overcome it, but found I was mistaken, and I finally became so badly off that it was almost impossible to attend to my duties. I have known any number of men in the police aud fire departments of this country who have been afflicted as I was, and I doubt not them are to-day hundreds similarly troubled who, like myself, did not know the cause, or really what ailed them.” “Yourpresent appearance, Mr. Curtin, does not indicate much physical debility,” said the interviewer as he looked at the 220 pounds of bone and muscle standing nearly five feeheleven inches in height before him. “ O, no; that is altogether a thing of the psst, and I am happy to say that for moro than a year I have enjoyed almost perfect health, although I now realize that I was on the road to certain death by Bright’s disease of the kidneys and traveling at a very rapid pace.” “ How dia you come to recover so completely ?” “That is just what I want to tell you, for I believe it may ba of great service to many others iu my profession, who may possibly hear of it. I began the use of a popular remedy at the earnest solicitation of a number of friends in this city, and found to my great gratification that 1 began feeling better. This feeling continued, and I gained in strength aui vigor until now I am perfectly well—and wholly through the instrumentality of Warner’s. Safe Cure, which I believe to be tho best medicine for policemen, firemen, railroad men or any other class of people exposed to danger or a change of weather, ever discovered. Since my recovery X have recommended it everywhere, and never knew a case whero it failed either to cure or benefit. X would not be without it under any consideration, and I am positive it is a wonderfully valuable and at the same time entirely harmless remedy. Indeed, I see that Dr. Gunn, dean of the United States Medical College of New York, indorses it in tho highest terms.” “So you experience little difficulty in.the execution of your duties now, Mr. Curtin, do yon?” “Ndno whatever. Our department was never in better condition than at present.” “And'do yon never haYe any fear of some of the desperadoes whom you have been the means of bringing to justice?” “Not in the least. Such men do not try to Teta'Kafe, parHally beoause they have not the courage, but oftener because they respect an officer who does his duty.” The policemen, firepten, letter-carriers and other public employes in this country have a particularly trying life. When, therefore, a simple and pure remedy that can restore and sustain the health of all such men is found, It should be cause for great congratulation, especially when recommended by such men as Superintendent Thomas Curtin, of Buffalo.

Last Christmas she contracted a very severe cold, and a diseased condition of the kidneys became manifest* which subjected her to excessive Buffering, as the symptoms of gravel became more prominent, her urine being colored, accompanied by a heavy brick-dust sediment. After trring several remedies without velief, I procured for her a bottle of Hunt’s Remedy, which she commend'd taking, and before three days had passed she became much better. She continued using the medicine until she had used six bottles, and now feels entirely cured of both rheumatism and kidney complaint. She believes her present excellent health due solely to the use of Hunt's Remedy. William C. Clxavela six Nobwxok. Comm., Mays, 18S3. GRATIFYING RESULTS. ’ Under date of May 14. Mr. E. A. Thomson, the wellknown grocer and provision dealer, of *8 Green street, New Haven. Conn., write* follows: “Several weeks since I^was taken very ill with kidney disorders, and an axamination of my urine showed a very diseased condition of my kidnoya and I had also symptoms of a diseased state of my liver. The passing of my urine was accompanied with severe pains in the small of my back and loins, followed by a burning sensation, ami after having stood awhile in the vessel, the urine showed^ very heavy deposit of a sediment similar to ground brick-dust, and, in short, I found that I was in such, a diseased condition as to require immediate medical treatment, and as 1 was anxious to obtain the best and most speedy remedy, I looked and inquired carefully, and became satisfied that Hunt's Remedy was an article cf excellent merit, and therefore I concluded to givo it a trial, and commenced taking it, and before I had taken one bottle I found such a great improvement that I decided to continue its use, and by taking only two bottles the result has been most gratifying in giving me- restored health. “1 have ordered a supply of Hunt's Remedy for my store, and shall hereafter have i$ for sale, as 1 consider it an excellent article for diseases of the liver and kidneys.** DR. JOHN BULL’S Sniti’s Tonic $yrnfl FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AND ALL MALARIAL DISEASES. The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEED? and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the directionsare s crictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have beencured by a single bottle, with a per feet restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, andin every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing eases. Usually this medicins will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonie, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETABLEFAMILY PILLS will be sufficient. __ ' DR* JOHN BULL’S SMITH’S TONIC SYRUP, BULL’S SARSAPARILLA, BULL’S WORM DESTROYER.
