does not, prevent us from lov
ing each other very dearly.' No answer from Mrs. Prescott, but she slipped her band into ber husband's, and a softened light shone in ber eyes, 'Now,' continued Mr. Prescott, 'your complaint against Kitty is that sue is different from your other daughters But why do yon want them -ail alike? Jane and Maria und Matilda are all quiet and s« naible women,who will go through life respectably, Just as thousands have done before tnem, but our little Kitty is of quite another sort. 'I should tbluk so,' again ejaculated Mrs. Prescott. •Yes, and needs different care. But with that oaro, and Heaven's blessing, I believe her capable ot making a much nobler woman than either of ber sisters.' 'Why, James Prescott how can you talk so? What have your daughters done that you should go agalust them like that?' •Am I going against therrt?' asked Mr. Prescott,smiling 'and if I am, what are you doing in regard to Kitty •But that is very different,' interposed Mrs. Prescott hastily. 'Now just look at that girl!' as the unconscious subject of tholr discussion came into vftw, racing along the dusty road which led from the village to tho little parsonage. •I see hor,' responded her husband, smillMg, and waving bis band, as Kitty, catching sight of him, swung her broad brimmed hat above her head, and redoubled her speed. 'Well, did you ever see your other daughters act In that way?' demanded his spouse.

How do you think Jane or
Maria or Matilda would look racing in that style?' 'Very much as elephants would at tempting the same feat.' responded Mr. Prescott, with a quiet laugh at tho Idea of his tall and somewhat stout elder daughters racing along like that little sprite of a Klttv. 'Why, Mr. Prescott!* exclaimed his wife, indignantly, but tho entrance of Kitty put an end to the locture, which abelwas evidently ready to bestow. •Oh, father!' cried the flushed and panting girl 'I have just the loveliest things to show you! I ran all the way from the village so as to get here sooner.' •And a most improper tblng it was to do,' remarked Mrs. Prescott, severely. Hut her words were lost. Neither Kitty nor hor father would hear a single word for tho next half hour. That was certain from the air of absorbed Interest with wbi«h tho girl was unfolding a paper, while the same expression rested on hor father's face as ho watched hor.' •It's of no use I' They haven't a grain of common sense between them/ sighed tho poor woman, as she betook herself to the kitchen. •Now, father, look! Did you ever see anything so beautiful exclaimed Kitty, as* she held up for inspection somo«( those little pictures with which it Is now the fashlou to ornament pottery. •Just bee this bunch of roses! And this cunning little bead! And only look at this dog) Doesn't h«* look like our Tray •They are really very pretty!' said Mr. Prtwo'tt, looking at each one as Kitty called his attention to it. 'What are thev for?' 'Ob, ail the girls have them now, and stick them on vase*, and jars, and boxes, and almost everything. Tbev call it potochhu&uia, as Aunt Alice did those vase* that she ornamented so long ago but I don't know whether that is the real name.' •Another sort of Kitomania!' remark* ed her father, with a smile. •Oh, yes!' laughed Kitty. 'I suppose Alf will plague i»« worse than ever, but I can't helpTt. My fingers really itch to try these on something. The girls gave mo these, and Mary Lane is going to town to morrow, and will g«t me some if yon are willing. Say yes! That's a good father!' •Certain Iv, I am willing, dear. Only don't let this new freak make yon fbrget vour work and troable mother. You know your manias worry ber.

She bad bad BO many that it wps bard tilling which was the last. There was always some one thing which she was doing with ail her might and wainwhile the fit lasted—ana then that was past and gone, and all her thoughts and energies were bent on its successor. Her brother had named her Kitomania,' and the name fitted
well that even her
father and mother sometimes used it. This youngest daughter was a sore trial to her good, commonplace mother, who bad brought up all ber other daughters to be smart, bustling housewives like herself, and had the satisfaction of seeing one after another marry and settle down in homes of their own. But Kitty was totally different from ber sisters. 'Just like her father,' ber mother wonld sigh. 'Not a bit of com mon sense in her.'
Common sense or not, she was certain ly a bewitching little creature, with ber dark eyes shining out from thy mass of raven hair, that never could be induced to lie smoothly, or be braided or tied, or fastened with a comb, or do anythin bat just dance all over ber bead an neck ID a thousand little waves and curia.
And if Kitty did not take kindly to sweeping, or dusting, or cooking, or scrubbing, no one was more ready to do any little kindness for a sick neighbor or a poor family. And no matter how groat her hurry, or how absorbed sbe might be in her own pursuits, she never forgot to quietly and deftly arrange ber father's study, after he had once said, •Kitty, put every book and paper in just the right place.'
Kitty's father, the Rev. Mr. Prescott, was tno clergyman of the only church in the little village of Bentley, and if be had not much common sense, as his wife said, be certainly had plenty of every other sort. Somehow the studious, quiet clergyman and bis gay, willful daughter understood each other wonderfully well, and seemed entirely contented when together. •It is no use of fretting, dear,' Mr. Prescott would say, calmly, when bis wife poured forth a list of Kitty's shor comings. 'All aro not made alike. Fi instance, you and I are very different.' 'I should think so,' muttered Mrsi, Prescott, discontentedly. •Yes,' pursued the good man, 'that did not,
common sense wife allowing Kitty to paste pictures over the cups and saucers,
fiitchers
and plates, was irresistibly
udicrous, and be laughed till Kitty joined in his merriment. 'But really, father,' she pleaded, 'yoa don't know how badly I want to try these pictures. 1 must go and find something!' and off she flew.
Half an hour elapsing without her reappearance, Mr. Prescott began to fear that she was doing something which would disgrace ber in her mother's eyes and started in pursuit. He fonnd her in ber own room, so absorbed in her occupation that she did not hear him as he paused by the open door.
She sat in the middle of the floor, while about ber stood the various srti CICH on which she bad already exercised ber skill. Bowl and pitcher, soap dish and mug, all shone forth resplendent, while the handles of her hairbrush and. toothbrush were highly ornamented.
As her father entered, sbe was Just gumming a bunch of roses, which, it was quite evident, sbe intended to fasten on a clean white apron which lay before ber.
I wouldn't do that, Kitty,' said her father, and Kitty looked up hastily. 'Your mother would not be willing for you to put those pictures on your clothes,' be continaed.
No, I suppose she wouldn't,* admitted Kitty, reluctantly 'but it would look real pretty, wouldn't it father?'
It would be spoiled as soon as the apron had to be trashed,' suggested ber father, consolingly. 'Come into the study and let us try to find some things that you may ornament.'
This new mania of Kitty's drove ber mother nearly wild. The bean pot was discovered to have a wreath of flowers about it, top and bottom, while birds, beasts and fishes were scattered over it in wild confusion, and as a thick coat of varnish covered them, they could not be removed. It was useless to scold. The girl really meant no harm. More than that, sbo meant to do right, but when one of her manias seized her she forgot all else. The present freak bad lasted several weeks, and as poor Mrs. Prescott said to her other daughters, the only comfort was that Kitty couldn't find many more places to stick ber pictures. Everything was covered with them. Even the old pump in the dooryard was decorated and duly varnished.
Mr. Prescott smiled quietly at most of the results, but when a picture appeared where it was seriously annoying to his wife, a gentle reproof from him never failed to arrest Kitty's decorative art for the time.
She will sober down soon enough,' be would say, rather sadly. 'You did not know me, wife, when I acted in innch the same way.' 'You!' exclaimed his wife, incredulously. 'No, and I don't believe you ever did such things. Why you are as quiet as a lamb.' 'Nevertheless,- my mother could tell you of the sad pranks that I used to play,' answered Mr. Prescott 'but she was so gentle and kindly, that I could not go on forgetting.'
The words sank into Mrs. Prescott's heart. 'Gentle and kindly!' She was not that to Kitty, she knew. Perhaps it t»be were, it might have more effect on the girl than her constant fault-find-ing. At any rate, she might try. So iot a few days, If she could not quite sue ceed in looking kindly when some fresh delinquency was discovered, at least she said nothing, and Mr. Prescott being away on business, Kitty was left to her own devices. But her father had charged her to be very good while he was absent, so sbe really behaved quite well.
Mr. Prescott, was expected homp on Saturday night, and on Saturday morning Kitty resolved to Rire his study a thorough sweeping and dusting. Her mother approving, sbe went busily to work, and soon every nook and corner of the apartment was as clean as possible.
Now I must fill his vases,' said Kitty, as she surveyed the room approvingly, and in another Instant she was in the garden cutting flowers.
But as Kitty arranged tho flowers, the idea came into ber mind, how much some of her darling pictures would improve the vases. It could not be any harm the vases were her own, and pictures, gum and sciB&ors were quickly found.
The trouble was, not in ornamenting the vases, but that whon Kitty once began she never knew where to stop. It seemed to her that she had bat just got her pictures spread out, when the dinner bell rang, and her mother called
Kitty! Kitty! haven't you finished dusting that room yet?' •Yes'm l'answerod Kitty, hastily gathering up her treasures, and realizing with a guilty feeling that her father's favorite inkstand had four pictures on It. However, she comforted herself with the reflection that she had not varnished t, so they could be scraped off, if her father didn't liko them. Perhaps he would! At any rate, she would leave them until she could ask him, and she ran off to dinner.
Tho next morning was a lovelv day. 'Are you ready for church, Kitty called her father, and he might be pardoned for kissing her fondly, as she came bounding down stairs in answer to his summons, for a brighter, bonnier sight was seldom seen. 'All ready!' she answered, as sbe returned his kiss, 'and ever so glad to have you home.'
Well, run and put my sermon in my ooat pocket, and my handkerchief, too. I am afraid I am rather late,' and Mr. Preecott went hastily to the closet for his best hat.
Now help me od with my coat, little woman. That's all right. Now we will startand tho minister and" his family wer« soon moving decorously toward the little ehureh.
The first part of the service passed as usual. Kitty sat quietly by her mother's side in the front pew. But the day was warm, and Mr. Preacott, while reading one or the hymns, drew forth his hand'kerchief to wipe the moisture from his brow. It was nicely folded, ami as h« road he gave it a little shake, when out flew a cloud of pictures—flowers, heads, birds, and beasts, some lodging on the pulpit, others flutUering to the ground.
Kitty gave a faint cry, and half sprang from ber seat, but her mother's hand sternly held her down. There was some commotion in tbe congregation, particularly among the juvenile portion, |bttt fortunately the organ pealed out the opening notes of the hymn, and order was soon restored.
Kitty stood, ashamed and sorrowful, through tbe singing. lb think that she had played such a dreadfal trick on ber dear ffcthet! To be sore ahe had not meant to, bat who would know that! Who would even know that it was she who had put those pictures there, and not ber father himself? She remembered bow it happened. Tbow were tbe wry pictures she had mislaid, and searched for so long in vatn, and she recollected now that sbe had been using them in the study, and being called away had slipped thetn into one of the handkerchief* In b*t father's drawer, till she oould retsrn.
Poor Kitty! she dared not look.to
TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING a
wards her mother. Finally ah3 gave a little timid glance np to tbe pulpit, fearing to see* grave displeasure on her, father's face. But no! there he stood as quiet and calm as usual, but with such al, loving, tender smile in his eyes, as they met hers, that the poor child was quite overcome. Great tears rolled silently down her cheeks, And sbe took her seat With a subdued air seldom seen in her.
But tbe misfortunes of the morning were not over. Tbe hymn ooneluded, Mr. Prescott took bis sermon from his pocket. Kitty's eyes were fixed on the ground, when to her horror, instead of the text there full on her ears a half smothered laugb, followed by another and another, from various parts of the cbureb.
Glancing np in astonishment sbe saw that her father held np in his band tbe morocco cover in which be usually placed bis sermons but instead of being plain black, as was its original color, it was gaily decorated with a nuge Chinese pagoda on one aide, and an equally huge mandarin on the other, while the leaves were so profusely ornamented as to render tbe manuscript quite unreadable. Onoe again Kitty caught her father's glance, with tbe si'jio tender, pitying smile, before sh'» buried ber face in her hands, and sj-t-ed as if ber heart would break.
Only for a moment did Mr. Prescott hesitate. Then laying aside the useless sermon, be began, in a low, sweet voice, a discourse that thrilled to the hearts oi all bis listeners, so full was it of tbe "peace that passeth understanding." How beautifully he spoke of the duties of parents toward their cbildron, of the love, kindness, and forbearance which sbonld be exercised towwards tbem. Many a parent remembered that sermon with silent blessings on the preacher, with great thankfulness for tbe work tbat it wrought.
But to Kitty every word added to her sorrow and repentance, aud her distress was evidently so deep that even her mother forbore reproaches.
That day put an end to Kitomania in tbe Prescott's family, «nd Kitty advanced steadily in her mother's good graces, as she turned her superfluous energies to household pursuits.
That girl will make a smart woman, yet I'Mre. Prescott would remark complacently. 'I quite agree with you, my dear,' her husband would reply, 'and remember it is all owing to uoy illustrated qpruaon.'

IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. RocKPORT^Mass., April 2,1877. Mu.EDITOR:—Having read in your paper rrports of the remarkable cures of catarrh, I am iuduced to tell "wftat I know about catarrh, aud I ftracy the "snuff" and "iu-haling-tube" makers (mere dollar grabbers) would be glad If they could einblazon a similar euro in the papers. For 2« years I suffered with catarrh. The nasal passages became completely dlosed. "Snuff, "dust," "ashts," iuhallug tubes," and "sticks," wouldn't work, though at intervals I wonld sniff up the so called catarrh snuff* until became a valuable tester for tueh medicines. I gradually grew worse, aud no ono can know how much I suffered or what a miserable being I was. My head aehed over my eyes so that I was confined to ray bed for many successive days, suffering the most Intense pain, which atone time lasted continuously for 108 hours. All senso of smell and tastegono. sight and hearing impaired, body shrunken and weakened, nervous system shattered, and constitution broken, and 1 was hawking and spitting »even-eights of the time. I prayed for death to relievo mo of my suffering, A favorable notice in-your paper ot Dr. Sage's Catarrh itemedy induceu mo to purchase a paokagu and use it with I)r. Pierce's NaoalDouclio, which applies the remedy by hydrostatic pressure, the only way compatible with common muse, well, Mr. Editor, It did .not cure me in three-fourths of a second, •nor iu one hour or month, but in less than eight minutes I was relieved, and in three months entirely cured, and have ren nlned so for over slx.een months. While using the Catarrh Kemmed, 1 used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to purify my blood and strengthen my Btomaoh. I also kept my liver active and my bowels regular by the use of his Pleasant Purgative PHletK. If my experience will Induce other sufferers to seek ttu same means of relief, this letter will hove answered its pursosc.
