== - A picture of health—the woman frho has faithfully used Dr* Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. She feels well and she looks so. It’s a medicine that makes her well, whether she’s overworked and “ run-down,* or afflicted with any of the distressing diseases and disorders peculiar to her, sex. It builds up—and h cures. For all chronic weaknesses, functional derangements, and “female complaints” of every kind, it’s an unfailing remedy. And it’s the only one, among medicines for women, that’s guaranteed. If it doesn’t give satisfaction, in any case, you have your money back. Can anything else be “just as good?” ■ “They’re about as bad ah the disease! ” Not all of them, though. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are pleasant—both when they’re taken and when they act They cure permanently Sick and Nervous Headaches, Biliousness, Costiveness, and all derangements of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels.

hands and his face tingling wij cold. "I tell yon what, mother,” be| as he threw off his cap, thick muffler and mittens in front of great fireplace in the roomy kiteh the farmhouse, “it's cold as—as ' (Gideon’s vocabulary was not of synonyms and comparisons.) cattle are oil a-shaking- though^ had the ague, and Dan’s cross Turk.”

Mrs. Granger rose from the hearth, where she had just turned the Johnnycakes that were baking on tins before the hot fire, and looked at the sturdy little figure, dressed in homespun continentals, and wearing^ his shock of yellow hair in a queue, for Gideon was a “boy of ’itt,” and a pretty small boy at that, looking scarcely to be fourteen, as he averred he would be if he lived to tha aoth of the following March. “Is it as frosty as that?” she said. “Why, your ears are as white as snow. They are nearly froien.” Gideon began to rub those members vigorously with his hands till a good healthy glow succeeded the paleness. “It’s-terrible eoW,” hp repeated; “cold enough for the Esquimaus. Such a change from yesterday.” “I knew a change was coming,” piped Grandmother Andrews. (Mrs. Granger had been an Andrews before marriage.) “There was a ringing in my ears all the eWni^g. The heart of winter is not broken yet* and spring is far distant.”

A uu out iiuuik ui uur pour Miiuiere, said Mrs. Granger, pityingly, the tears j starting to her mild bine eyes. “May > the God of battles protect them. It makes my heart ache to think of them camped over there in that valley without enough to wear or to eat, being tracked by oar dags by the blood they leave in the snow whenever they go abroad. I wish we might do something for them.” “Mother," said Gideon, in alow tone, “1 have been thinking of something I would like to do if yon are willing,” and he regarded her earnestly. “I lay awake last night more than an hour, my mind full of the suffering and the hanger among onr brave soldiers, and I felt as though I ought to try to help them some way,” “Yes, Gideon, but what can yon do?” an&his mother pushed the mass of-light, tousely hair front her boy’s freckled forebead with a gentle, sympathetic touch that caused the flush to deepen on the yonng cheeks. ~ “1 canqoC.do much, I know,” he whispered, “but there’s the twin calves father gave me last spring, they’re yearlings now, and^Cat as butter, and they’re all my own. They’d make many a poor soldier affood meal, and their hides could be used to make moccasins for their wounded feet. If you will let me-tntsS6 Bert Stillings, and perhaps he would drlvo his own, too; you know he’s a pair most as large as mine. And think of the good they’d do.” “But yonr father, what will he say?” murmured Mrs. Granger, anxiously. “What, can he aay, mother?” answered Gideon. “The steers are mine, and haven’t 1 as much right to give mine to the Americans as he has to sell his to the British? Yon know as well as 1 do that he’s gone to Philadelphia for that purpose General Putnam’s offered him a fair price for * * last week, but 1 heard he knew Gen. Howe I think it's are suffer

They had ypked their great yearlings to a small sled, and, as they were well broken to the yoke, they calculated to reach Valley Forge by a little after noon. “Well, mother!” shouted Gideon. Mrs. Granger appeared at the door, her hands full of baskets and bundles. r

The sudden blast of a trumpet could not have occasioned a greater stir. All eyes were turned in one direction, and they saw riling down one of those narrow woodland streets a group of horsemen. At their head rode one whose aspect was unmistakable. Gideon never forgot the impression he received from that commanding figure and august countenance, and years afterwards he was able to tell his grandchildren just how Washington looked that morning. He towered in his saddle a splendid colossus, his martial form wrapped in a great horseman's cloak. A thick muffler was doubled around his neck. The sharp, frosty wind tinged his nose a deep purple, but the rest of his face was perfectly colorless and wore a troubled look, and his lips were tightly com- — -- ■

“Remember, these are lor Gen. Washington and his officers,” said the matron, as she deposited her hardens upon the sled. “Here are six chickens, four loaves of bread, a couple ol pies, and two bottles of grape jelly. Tell hint it’s the pit ol the women ol America to the brave defender of their homes. Tell him that, Gideon, and hasten back as soon as yon can, for I shall worry about you all day. Here, each of you drink a cup of this hot sstre tea. It will be good for yon.” Theiads sipped the hot drink out of blue, earthen enps that belonged to a set of Grandmother Andrews, older than the first fight of the old French “It is good," declared Bert, wiping his lips with his mitten. “But I wouldn’t hare drank British tea any“Kor I either.” said Gideon. "Goodby, mother, we’re off." They started down the, road, Mrs. Granger watching thegi till they Sied a “bend,” when she reentered bouse with a sigh.

lie set almost immovable in his saddle, and his light gray eyes were sternly meditative. Greene, and Pntnam, and Lee, were with him, and a dozen young aids-de-camp and adjutants. Every soldier lifted his hat and gave a hearty cheer as this party of horsemen passed along. They all loved that grave, majestic map, and would have charged a British column even then, led by his inspiring presence. “What have we here?” inquired the pater paMm, reigning in his great steed in front of the team of steers, that were disposed just then to be a little fractious. Gideon observed even in his excitement that Washington’s voice was hoarse and that he placed the muffler still higher about his neck. “Two patriot boys from the country, sir, with stock and produce for the army,” answered Gideon; “and mother has sent yon some bs$ad and pies^and we wish we were big enough to come and help you Bght the British.” “God bless * you. my brave lads,” cried Washington, wiping a tear from his eye. “God bless your mothers, too, and give them a free country in which to live.

All sail the twenty-second of February!” shouted in unison the heroes and sufferers of Valley Forge. The great chief and hia offieers passed in, and Gideon and Bert were conductid to the quartermaster! where they were given a good dinner that was Mninently relished. Before they start sd home they saw their pets butchered rod dressed and in the process _of roast ing. “Poor little things!” said Gideon, brushing away a tear, while his Ups trembled with emotion. “But they will make many a poor fellow more somfortablew” As they roap to go the young adjutant appeared in front of the tent with three horses saddled and bridled, one if which he was riding: . “I have orders, young gentlemen, tc take you home,” he said to the young patriots, ‘Wad the commander in duel bade me give each of yon one of these with his compliments.” He accordingly placed in the hands of each boy a medallion, on the obverse of which was the portrait of Washington, white the reverse bore the inscription: “For Liberty." These had been issued a few days previously by the mint of the state of Pennsylvania Never did two knights riding home victorious from the tournament feel prouder Gian did crar two heroes as they rode homeward that night, and for days - they could not talk enough of Washington and his army at Valley Forge. Nor did dob Granger ever reprimand his son for his patriotic sacrifice. He had not made the excellent bargain he expected with Lord Howe, and n day or two after he said to Gideon: “Von made a better trade than I did. The British are a set of cowards and cheats. I wish yon had driven the whole stock to Valley Forge.” And Gideon himself never regretted the work of that 33d of February. - Fred M. Colby, in N. V. Examiner. A WONDERFUL LINE.

The teacher frowned and the visitors snickered, but Johnny only looked into immeasurable space and thought hard. “What was it, Johnny, that George never did?” '■‘fNever lied!” replied Johnny, as solemn as solemnity itself. “Couldn’t you put it a little more politely?” asked the nervous teacher. “Yes’m.

BEN BUTLER. ^ Ben Butler in bis new book just issued from the press says that he came very near dyiDg from a cold contracted by taking a bath in a river in Maine whert it was so inclement that he had to dress on a cake of ice. He was obliged to take a sea voyage in order to recover his health. This shows how reckless some people are in regard to their health. When you catch cold do not neglect it but get a bottle of REID’S GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE and take it at once. It contains no poison but is the best thing in the world for ail maladies that arise from a cold You can not take cold without affecting the whole excretory system, the skin, the lungs, and the kidneys.
