WHERE 23 YOUR BOY TO NIGHT.
BY 80BKTTA LTJKT THOMPSON.
Life Is timing with evil snails, The sated of sin are wlue, The rosy finger* of pleasure wave
And beck#n the young Inside. Man of the world, with open puree seeking yourown delight, Pause, ere reason la wholly gone—
Where la your boy to night Sirens are singing on every hand, Luriug the enr of youth. Glided falsehood with silver notes
Drowneth the voice of Truth. I'ainty lady, in costly robes. Yonr parlors gleam with light, Fate and beauty yoar senses sleep—
Where isyour boy to-night? Tempting whisper* of roval spoil Flatter tl youthful »oul Eagerly entering into life.
Restive of all con rol. "Jfoeds ar* taany, and duties sttrn Crowd on the weary sight, Fa her, burled In business cares,
Where is your boy io-sight?
Pitfalls lurk In the flowery ways, Vice hath a golden gate, Who shall guide the unwary feet
Into the highway straight? Patient worker, with willing hand Keeping the home hearth bright, Tired mother, with Uie teuder eyes,
Whereisyour boy to nignt?
Turn his feet from the evil paths Kre they have entered In, Keep him unspotted while yet ye may,
Earth Is so stained with sin. Ere he has learned to follow wrong. Teach him to love the right, Watch, ere watching is wholly vain—
Where is your boy to-night
TOOTHACHE.
To haveitontor not—that Is tho question Whether 'tis belter for the Jaws to suffer Tho pangs and torments of an aching tooth, Or to take steel against a host of troubles And, by extracting, end them To pull- to tug— No more and by a tug to say we end The tootliactie, and a thousand natural Ills The Jaw Is heir to—'tis a consummation Devoutly to be lshed. To pull—to tugTo tug! perchance to break—ay, thert the rub For In that wrench what agonies may come,
When we have half dislodged the stubborn
Must give us pause there's the'respect That makes an aching tooth of so long a life For who would bear the whips and stings of pain, The old wife's nostrum, dentists'contumely The pangs of hope deferred, kind sleep delayed, When he himself might his quietus make For one poor shilling? Who would fardels bear, To groan and sink beneath a load of pain. But I hat the dread of something lodged within, The linen twisted forceps, for whose pahgs No Jaw at ease returns, puzdes the will And makes It rather bear the ills It has Than tly others that It kuows not of? Thus dentists do make cowards of us all And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of fear And many ft one, whose courage seeks the door With this regard, his footsteps turns away, Beared at the name of dentist.
A Perfect Treasure.
THE STORY OF A PLUCKY WOMAN.
Oae day Frank came home with a lOJk of triumph. 'I have a perfect treasure for you,' he said, 'in the way of a miree. Gerald Temple Is going to take his family to Europe, aDd when he heard what you wanted, offered to let us have their nurse, whom they will not waut.' •I heard a low sigh. Virginia, Frank's only sister, had been sitting in a corner of the drawing room. She rose now and slipped out. •How could you, Frank?' I said, following her with sad eye*. 'I have never heard your sister speak of the Temples elnce she has lived with us the very mention of their names brings baok the memory of Gerald's brother, and all that sad tragedy.' '1 am sorry,' said Frank, 'but I did not know that she was in the room. Poor Virginia!'
Yes! Poor Virginia! I said to myself. But once the blithest, loveliest little creature I ever knew. It is something of a story, but 'tis 'an ower true tale/ And I will tell it in tho shortest way I can.
Virginia and Frank were orphans, and old Mr*. Chlohester, their grandmother, had adopted Virginia, Almost from her infancy. The old lady had very ambitious hopes of making a splendid match for her beautiful grandchild. But Virginia thought otherwise and when she was just seventeen, at the time of my wedding, she and Langley Temple were insane enough to fall desperately In love with each other. Langley waa Frank's most Intimate friend, and th«» pair met continually at our house until grandma Chlohester found it out.
After awhile Langley was ordered to bis ship (he was In the navy) but Frank wagod battle with grandma until be obtained a vI perish consent that the lovers might correspond.
Grandma took pains not to let Frank know how Virginia was tormented and tyrannised over, until the poor child oonaented to go out into society again and there she met and made ready conquest of the very man whom grandma had intended for her boaoty—Horace Kent.
Virginia refused him but grandma aaid, scornfully, 'that made no difference. She would come to her senses soon,' and to my utter amazement the trousseau went on, and by And by we were bidden to the wedding—a quiet, elegant affair, where Virginia walked and talked as if she were frosen. Frank and I confessed to each other that night that the bualueas passed our oomprehenalou, for we had no idea then of foul play.
Kent and Virginia were to ssll for Europe within a fortnight of their marriage, and went to Washington and Baltimore to pass that time. Left alone, one evening, in Baltimore, with a severe headache, Virginia remembered to have seen some aromatic vinegar In her busband's dressing ease. Kent was peculiar in hht careful way of locking up his belongings, and she took her own bunch of keys to open the box, when, rather to her surprise, she found the key left In the box.
Some listless, vague impulse whioh she could never afterward account for, prompted her to lift the upper tray, although she had found the vinegar already. Underneath, to her surprise, •he found papers, and was about returning the tray to its place without further examination, when her eye waa caught by the words, «My own Virginia,' in a dear, a too well known handwriting.
When Kent came back that nignt be found bis beautiful young wife senseless upon her bed, with two letter* crumbled between her cold fingers. One the last letter that Langley bad actually written her, and the other, the base forgery, in which he asked to be released from his engagement, Kent was not at all had. lie Toyed her madly, and you
may be sure that his sore punishment began, when, after the physicians bad brought her out of that death like swoon the first words that came to Virginia's lips, in that strange, passionless tone which is far worse than anger, were •Remember! I will never forgive you —nevnl'
They came baok to New York for a single day but Virginia saw no one but her grandmother. The old lady, upon her deathbed, raved of that interview, and vainly implored Virginia's forjflveness for urging Kent on to his treachery. The newly wedded pair sailed in the 111 fated ship, whioh took fire off the coast of Nova Scotia, and whose name still carries terror to many a heart. Virginia was one of that handful of survivors her unhappy husband fought for her a place in the boat, and, remaining behind, himself perished with the ship. The agony of terror, the long night which she spent at the mercy of the waves, proved too much of a strain upon poor Virginia's already overburdened frame, and Frank and I were summoned by telegraph to her, at Halifax, where she lay for days, unconscious, with a brain fever. And then, to add to her misery, when recovering, she was thrown into a nearly fatal relapse bv seeing accidentally that the TecumseS had gone down, in the attack on Mobile harbor, with every soul on board. The Tecumseh was Langley's thip.
Virginia came to live with as about two years before the commencement of my story. She seemed to feel a sort of sorrowful remorse about her husband, which was not grief, and yet it cast a shadow over her life. •He was treacherous and false, she said to me one day, 'and he broke my heart— but what right have I to judge him? Harrie, I told-him I would never rorgive, and he died, thiuking himself untorglven.' Of Langley, as I told you, she never spoke.
Well, the.'perfect treasure'made her appearance. She was a rather young woman, with a pleasant, low voice, and very good manners, lor one of her station. I was charmed. Certainly, this girl seemed determined to please me she did her work in a faultlessly neat way she amused and played with the twins and babv had more quiet nights than 1 had known him to have for W6G
So, "after a month's trial, I began to sing Alice's praises, and allowed her full control in her own department, with a good many privileges. Virginia alone did not seem to like her. Virginia had a curious way of looking at new facfls, a searching, penetratiug glance, that I always thought had a sort of mesmerism in It, all the stranger because her eyes were so gentle and soft, Alice never met the look fairly,, as I remembered &ft©rwsrd»
It was the spring of '65. The closing scenes of the war were crowding thick and fast upon each other. Virginia kept her room a good deal. The warm April weather seemed to enervate her, and she shrank away from the joy and enthusiasm we all exhibited. Poor child! it was bard for her to hear of the soldiers and sailors who would be coming home now, and to feel that, for her sore heart, peace would bring no balm.
One night Frank had taken a box at the Italian opera, in New York. We lived in Brooklyn, and, as Kellogs? was to sing, I begged Virginia to go with us. But she steadily declined. She would stay at home and keep house, she said. Now, two
of
my servants were going to
a fireman's ball the same night, leaving only Alioe and the cook at home so I must say I felt rather more easy about the children when I found that Virginia would not go. Going from New York to Brooklyn by night, however, is a long journey, and It was close upon one o'clock when we drove up to our door.
In the meantime. Virginia, after our departure, had sat for some time writing letters in her own room. The twins were having a noisy romp in the nursery and when she looked in to say goodnight, Fred fastened himself upon her neck, and begged to come and stay with auntie she yielded, and theu Fred began building card houses on the sofa until he got tired, when he curled himself in a corner, and in two seconds was fast asleep.
Being very muoh interested in her book, Virginia let the little fellow sleep on, thinking that by aud by she would take him up to her own room, and put hiua to bed there, as she frequently did. At last she fell asleep herself.
She never knew how long she slept, but she had a painful nightmare sensation, as if somebody was trying to smother her and after struggling with the feeling far some time, she slowly, and with great effort, opened her eyes. Why! what had happened to the room? lie gas must have gone out—it was totally dark, save a flickering gleam from the dying fire on the hearth, and what a sickening, deadly smell there was. With a lightning rapidity, which is more like instinct than thought, it suddenly fia&hed upon her what the strange soent waa—chloroform! Then, .as she oaugfat bei* frightened breath and sank back into her chair, a low sound of voices from the dining room reached her ear. The door between the two rooms waa ajar, and she saw a thread of light from it the voioe she first heard was a man's. •You didn't give the youug woman too much, did yer?' it asked rather anxiouslv. •I wish I had,' returned Alice's low and stealthy voice. 'I bate her! She suspects me.' •Ha! ha!' gurgled the man. 'She must ha' been purty uncivil to yer yer usually gets on the right side of 'em is that pitcher silver or plate •Plate. The silver is upstairs.'
Virginia shoQkM she heard the venom of that low voloe. 'She was Mr. Laflgley's lady, love Jill her old .grandma Mopped it/ -Mm •And what was Mr. Langley to yer, my girl said the man. •iiush! you'll wake the child, and I don't want to do him any harm. Mr. Langley, ." The woman's voloe softened. 'He never said a dossn words to me in his life but, look you, Vinoent, I worshipped him.' •That's right. Tell me all, as I'm yer husband that Is to be,' said the other with a ooarse laugh. 'Mrs. Kent baa splendid jewels, too. I picked the lock to look at them. You can take as many of them as you like. Come.'
As soon as the sound of their footsteps died away, Virginia snatched the deadly handkerchief off her head and staggered to her foot, though di**ily. She waa a very spirited girl, and determined that the pair should not escape. But what oould ahe do? It was vain to think of getting the oook to alarm their neighbors at the corner, for the next lot was vacant, and she must cross the ball and go part the stairs, to find her. There would be no use In throwing up the window and screaming the bouse wss on Clinton avenue, far out, and the policeman did not oome past very often.
Virginia wrung her hands, when a sleepy murmur of 'Auntie!' startled her. In a second her resolve was taken, and ahe was on her knees by Fred, kissing him and saying. 'Fred, my darling, Auntie Is going to uo something funny.
TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.
You remember bow papa jumped you down from the balcony on Chriatuiaa day to run after the monkey? I'm going to jump yod down now. Don't speak a word. Act like a man. There!'
Fred was just four years old, but a great boy for bis age, and he always obeyed Virginia implicitly so be rubbed bis eyes wide open and wa» carried to the window. The balconv, outside, was not far from the ground. Aa Virginia looked out, carefully, she aaw under the oorner gaslight, a tall figure with a gleam of brass buttons, 'Fred,' she whispered rapidly, 'run fast to that policeman, and tell him he must come right here to auntie then go to Mr. Motley's, at the oorner, and ring the bell with all your might—it is low, and you can reach it, and tell George and Harry Motley that aunt Virginia says there is a thief in the house. Don't be afraid, Fred be a man, like papa.'
Ovei' softly, gently, over the low railing, and then, with a good shake of bis small person, Fred's fat little legs trotted swittly off toward the policeman. 'Directly, under the ualoouy, a voice said, softly: •What's wanted, ma'am? Can you open the front door for me •I cannot,' she panted 'there are burglars in the bouse, and I should be heard. Couldn't you get up here somehow? Has the little boy gone to the neighbors?'
There was no answer to her question, but the policeman easily followed her suggestion, and climbed up over the balcony. 'Wait!' whispered Virginia, laying her cold band on the policeman's arm, as he made a motion to go forward. 'They are upstairs, In my room, looking for my jewels. If you will stand just behiud that door, I will creep up the back stairs and reconnoiter if the woman comes to answer the bell, seize her. There is ouly one man if I want help I will call, ana then you must rush up the front stairs.' 'Are you not afraid asked the policeman, with some surprise but Virginia was gone before he had finished his remark.
When she reached the stairs, she found by the sounds, that the man had evidently gone into the silver closet, which stood on the other side of the back stairs and that now she was between the two —for she could hear Alice walking about in her room. Quick as a flash the little figure glided up the stairs, slipping off her boots at the lowest
no light in the ball, except that afforded by the burglar's lantern, for the gas was turned down low, and the alantern set inside the closet door. The door opened outward, and the key was in it a spring, a sudden bang, and then the click of the key in Virginia's nervous fingers, as she turned it in the look* A tremendous curse came from the oaptured thief, as she leaned breathlessly against the door. The same moment the gaslight behind her was suddenly turned on, and Alice confronted Virginia. 'You here, Madam Well, you and I are quits, anyhow. Open that door, or I'll send a bullet through your head. You didn't think of my having the revolver, did you 'No,' said Virginia, looking in the girl's furious eye with her peculiarly calm smile. 'Help! Police!' 'You may split your pretty throat calling,' said Alice, seizing her savagely by the arm. 'No one will come the cook's drugged, and you're at our mercy. Give me the key!' 'I'll trouble you for that pistol!' said a stern voice behind Virginia, as a quick strong arm jerked the weapon away from Alice.
Alice, with a shriek, fell on the floor, for she realized all at once. But VirVirgiuia, gasping, 'Ah, my God!' gazed as if turned to stone, for it was Langley Temple that she saw. 'Virginia! don't be terrified,' he said, it is my very self, no ghost. Take my hand, love see, it is flesh and blood, like your own.' He had her in his arms. The door bell was ringing furiously, but he would have let the neighbors pull the wire till it broke before he would have left her in that dumb, shocked state. As be touched her she trembled violently then the light came back to her eyes, and with a sob of joy Virginia flung herself on the breast of him whom ahe had mourned as dead.
The Motleys had time to think that Virginia was murdered before the pair opened the door. Very much surprised were they to see, Instead of the policeman they expected to find, a very tall, handsome man, a stranger, in undress uniform. Fred, now that bis part of the fun was over, began to roar, and Vir-
She
inia took him up in her arms, while four gentlemen, assisted by the real simon pure policeman, a brawny son of Erin, opened the closet, and secured the prisoner. Within the next fifteen minutes the other servants had returned (for the burglary took place before eleven o'olock) and Alice, having recovered from her swoon, was carried to the station house.
I don't know how Langley and Virginia were occupied till my return, but when Frank thrust his latoh key into the door, Virginia flew out of the library and tried, with a few incoherent senteuoes, to prepare me for seeing something. The consequenoe was, that when I pushed the door open in a very bewildered frame of mind, and saw Langley smiling at me, I was terrified almost out of my senses, and came near fainting.
To the best of my recollection, the house-hold sat up nearly all night, though finally, after I had beard the whole story, been speechless over Virginia1* bravery, and bugged Fred, now East-asleep in the arm-chair, Frank dragged me on to bed.
I don't know that Langley and Virginia sat there till morning, but certainly the first persons I saw upon ooming down to breakfast, were themselves, on the identical sofa where I had left them.
Langley's story is too long a one to be told here suffice it to say. being on deck when the Tecumseh sunk, be had been able to strike out from the sinking ship, and, under oover from the smoke sna war of battle to swim ashore. There, however, be wss taken prisoner, ana kept in does confinement for months, finally making bis escape. Ooming direct to Frank to gain intelligence before presenting himself to his family, he bad stopped to light a cigar under the gaslight, where Virginia bad mistaken him for a policeman. He had knoWn her Instantly and probably, only ber fright and agitation prevented ber from recognising bis voice, whioh, as be mischievously told ber he did not disguise in the least.
Alice and her accomplice were identified by the police as old offenders. The woman baa carried on a systematic pilfering at /the Temple's, and wss MI accomplished hypocrite. To my intense
Se
atlflcation, the pair were sentenced to full term in Gnng-8ing. Langley and Virginia were married very quietly soon after. Frank gave away the lovely little bride, whose fair girlish bloom bad oome back to ber, and who, under the influence of love, seemed a different woman from the pale, sad creature who had moved ao quietly about my bouse.
They idolise each other, and I think, have quite forgiven grandma Chichester and poor Horace Kent, Fred hae always
been a great pet with his aunt for his bravery on the night of the attempted burglary.
Between Fred's boasting and my sly teasing, poor Frank will never be allowed to forget his instrumentality in introducing me to such 'a perfect treasure.'
A pleasant and obeerful room is essential to the health of the baby, and the usual pains and ills of the young ones soon vanish after the use of Dr. Bull's Bsby Syrup. Price 25 cents.
A FRANKFORT, KV., PHYSICIAN writes to Dr. Swayne A Son, Philadelphia: Some months ago the daughter of one of our prominent citizens wss pronounced a hopeless consumptive and to have seen her at time one would have supposed there was ground for the decision, as she was very much reduced in flesh, had a terrible cough, expectorated blood, streaked tuberculous matter, very ner vous, that she could scarcely sleep. She bad been doctored a long while with cough aud various specifics, and several physicians had tried their skill on ber. but without avail, ber life gradually wasting away, recommended ber to use Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which she did, and its a few weeks she waa free from all cough, and other symptoms of disease, and It was considered a miracle in this section, as she is now rosy and healthy. Let all who are predisposed to weak lungs, Coughs and Colds, Throat, Breast and Iiung Disorders, try Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, they will soon discover that it is vastly superior to anything they have ever used. It is equally valuable in asthmatic and bronobial affections. Prepared only by Dr. Swayne A Son, 330 North Sixth street, Philadelphia. Trial bottles, 25 cents, large size (holding five of the small), i|, or naif dozen 5. Sold by Buutln Armstrong, Terre Haute. Dr. King's California Golden

A Remarkable Result.
It makes no difference how many physicians, or how much medicine you have tried, it is now an established fact that German Syrup is the only remedy which has (given complete satisfaction in severe cases of Lung Diseases. It is true there are thousands of persons who are predisposed to Throat and Lung Affections, Consumption, Hemorrhages, Asthma, Severe Colds settled on the Breast, Pneumonia, Whooping Cough, who have no personal knowledge of Boscbee's German .Syrup. To such we would say that 50,000 dozen were sold last year without one oomplalnt. Consumptives try just one bottle. Regular size 75 cents. Sold by all druggists in America.

MRS. SARH A. ELLIOTT, the authoress of "Mrs. Elliott's Housewife," Oxford, N. C., writes: "1 was among the first that used the 'London Hair Color Restorer' in this section, and recommendedit to M. A. A C. A. Santos, Norfolk, Va., as the most beautiful hair dresser and preserver I had ever seen. I was advised by an eminent physician to use it. Since doing so, it has proved so satisfactory in restoring and beautifying my hair, as well as strengthening my eyesight, that I have recommended it to my druggists here in Oxford, Raleigh, and a great many of my friends, ana I believe I have, from what others say, caused it to have a wide and extended sale, aud deservedly so, as it is certainly the most cleanly and effective hair restorer now before the American people." The "London Hair Restorer" can be obtained at all the leading druggists at 75 cents a bottle, or f4 for six bottles. Sold by Buntln A Armstrong, Terre Haute.
