ENTERTAINING HER BIG SISTER'S BEAU.

"My sister'll be down in a minute, and says you're to wait, if you please; And says I might stay till she came; if Id promise never to tease, Nor speak till you spoke to me first. But that's nonsence, foi how would you know What she told me to say, if I didnt? Don't yon really and truly think so "And then you'd feel strange here alone!

Too won^t'run away, then as he did? for you're not a rich man, they say Pa «ays you are as poor as a church-mouse.

He was doubtless a tramp. His worn and dusty dress, his crushed felt hat, his dirty shoes, and the checkered muslin shirt, tied at the neck with a bit of rusty black ribbon, and the little bundle borne on his shoulder from the end of a stout *tiek, told the story plainly. Added to Uiia was the board of a week's growth, except the mustache, which had not been touched by a razor. He was rather a gay iUid good-looking fellow for all that, with a koen eye, an open countenance, *nda well-knit figure, and he strode tlong although he felt that the wandering idler was really the king of other men, and tramping a superior art.

Presently he threw down his stick and bundle anu niiulea leap in tho load, just in time to stop a runaway horse, with the long reins flapping about his feet, and iho wagon behind him swaying from side to side. Tho occupants ol the wagon, a couple as old-fashioned as the carryall in which they sat, had boon francically crying to the horse to stop, and iiow that some one had stopped him, vero profuse In their thanks. "Bob is not vicious," said the man, whose language and dress Bhowed him 'jo lielong to tho Society of Friends, "but wo geoso Hew across the road, and before 1 knew it he had jerked the reins out »f my hauds and started on a quick run. I'm obliged to thee, for if thee tmdn't caught him he might have spilled its over the high bank below there.

The tramp nodded and turned to go, when the woman spoke. "Friend," she said, "thee has split thy oat up the back." "Havol!" returned the tramp, feeling Tar the ront. "So 1 have. I must get it mended somewhere."

Tho tramp smiled again, and said: •Yon may call me John Panl, if you rJiOOSe."

"Well, friend Paul, does theo see that fast in a now light suit, white house among tho trees, oft" the Vmt. nft«r road, back yonder?

"Thank you, ma'am I'll do so." The tramp removed his battered felt nit, made a bow rather more courtly

"That—that man!" gasped the girl. "There bo tramps, and tramps. The j»e to whom Paul advanced was of the watx order—brawny, whisky-sodden ind brutal. ••What do you moan by frightening hi* young lady?" ""Dike it easy, pard," rejoined tho big ramp, grinning. "The gal gave me a uneh, and I wanted t-o sweeten the victwith a kiss. There's no bones wroke."

John Paul's face reddened. He took ,ff ht» coat and threw it on the palings of be lane fence. "Now,"said John Paul,quietly, "yon vill leave." "When I git good an* ready," answerthe other, insolently. "No, air—now." "Hatha! Suppoee you **1*- Io ©u me that?" and he thrust his fist nntortbe noee of the younger man.

It was dashed aside suddenly, and the igbt hand of John Paul fell with force «tween the eyee of the tramp, who fell

on the throat with bis right arm, and bending him over his own extended knee, threw the great mass of flesh to the ground with a force that made quite an audible sound.

encounter, in which, like many men of peacefnl habits, he took a deep interest. At the supper table, John Paul, in evading minute inquiry, let them know that he lived in New York when at home and gave them some account of tbe metropolis, of which they had heard, but never seen, and did it in a plain, lucid way that showed he kept his eyes open during his tramping.

Aftef supper Mahlon Stacv and John Paul sat on the veranda while the women were clearing the table, and the farmer, artertwo or three preliminary hems, spoko his mind. "Thee was looking for work, perhaps, friend?" "No, I can't say thai I was." "Thee would take a job if thee could get one, niaybe?" "That depends on what it is." "Can thee mow?" "Woll, sir, it is

but I'll do the best I can for you till you can do better and as for the wages, We'll not differ on that." "Then thee'll stay here, and we'll tackle the south field to-morrow," exclaimed the farmer, joyously. "Naomi, thee'll get a room ready for friend Paul. He's going to help with the bay."

So John took service with Mahlon Stacy, or. as he put it to himself that night, "I'm hired to Rachel," and he laughed at the same time as though it were the funniest thing possible.

The liay-rnaking was over in three days, but John, as they called him now, romnined. He evidently knew very little about farming, but took teaching kindly. Ho devclopod a great knowledge of horses, their needs and wants, ana altogether Mahlon was satisfied with his raw band. Tho fourth day it rained so that out-door work was stopped. The farmer and John sat in tbe kitchen, the former in rather a downcast mood. John watched Rachel's motions for sometime as she moved about gracefully, and then took a book which lay upon a shelf and began reading.

On Saturday John got two hours' leave of abscuce, and returned with a bundle, which he carried to his room, The next day he came down to break-

Absolom Browning was waiting in

"SfflSPi drive thee home, Rachel?" he asked. "Thank thee, no, Absalom. I came in the carry-all with uncle and aunt, and they'll stop for me at the corner."

Absalom walked alongside, however, leading his horse and talking to Rachel, and John fell behind. When they came to the corner, Mahlon and his wife were already there, and Absalom renewed his request. Rachel made no demur, for Naoni said it would relieve their horte with one less in. John smiled to himself. The aunt favored tbe courting.

The Summer months came and went. Absalom Browning cam* and went once a week, and sometimes twice, and John Paul remained on tbe farm. He grew to be a favorite, and his activity and physical strength, with his great good nature, made him popular with the voung men around. Absalom did not like him, however. With Rachel he got along famously. She had been his friend from the first, never forgetting his opportune championship. Then he read so beautifully, and was full of tales of adventure, for, according to his own account, he had traveled a good deal. In his wanderings be had picked npa deal of knowledge, too, as leaked out bit by bit, and be bade fair to make a good farmer, so tbe farmer liked him, too. But Mahlon, whose spirits had been getting lower and low, at length grew quite gloomy, and his gloom was shared by his wire, and even infected Rachel.

The young man hesitated, but glaucing at the women, said, "I—I am not in a nt condition for the table I—" "If that's all," eagerly joined Mahlon, "we can arrange that. Come with me." And the young man was speedily usher-

He remained to supper, and was treated with marked consideration by tbe farmer and bis wile. Rachel seemed to be a little embarrassed. John glanced at her a little curiously, but she avoided his eye.

The next morning John went out early to see to the horses and cattle. When he returned to breakfast ho observed that Mahlon was curt and monosyllabic of speech, Naomi gjoomy, and Rachel distressed. John ate his meal silently, and then went to the field with Mahlon. But he soon made an excuse to return. Rachel was alone there, seated with her face in her hands, and so intent on her thoughts that she did not hear him come in. "What is the trouble, Rachel?" be asked.

The girl started up, and the blood rushed to her facc, but she made no reply. "Is it to be a wedding?" he continued "John Paul, thee's—thee's "Or did you send Absalom B. about his business last night?" "What is that to thee, John Uncle displeased with me, Aunt is sorry and now thee must—What is it to thee whether I have or not "Rachel," said he, taking her trembling hand, and retaining it in spite of her effort to withdraw it, "it is every thing to me, for I love yon dearly."

Tho eyos of the girl filled with a sud den light. "Thee! thee love— me? John read the answer to his question before he put it, and drew his sobbing Rachel to his breast.

How long they stood there neither could tell, but at the sound of Mahlon Stacy's heavy step on the veranda, Rachel made her escape. "What keeps thee in thehbuse, John?' inquired the farmer, eutoring the room "We have work to get through with." "Let that pass for a moment, Mr. Stacy. I have something to say. Who holds now the mortgage on the farm?" "Why does thee ask? "From no idle curiosity. What is his name and where does ho live "His name is Frobisher, and he lives in New York. It is lawyer Woodford who has the business iu hand." "Woodford! Not Charles Woodford? So! In that case make yourself perfectly easy. I can arrange all Miat for you." "Is thee serious John Paul? Does theo think Frobisher would do it for' thee?" "Why not? He never refused me anything I wanted yet, from.Lhe time we went to the same school." "Thee must be out of thy mind, John.

'Z- TENDER-HEARTED*

A TEXAN'S ADVENTURE WITH A LITTLE MATCH GIRL.

St. Louis Glob«-Democrat.'

A big-boned Texan, something over six feet high, with an enormous oroadbrimed hat and a sweeping moustache reaching nearly.to his shoulders, stood at the Laclede Hotel office, carelessly examining the register. A slight twitching at his coat skirts was passed by unheeded, but a more vigorous pull caused him to look around, expecting to greet a joking friend, or something of that sort. He saw nothing, and was turning back to the register leaves again when his glance fell upon such a wee mite of a girl, whose head was such a short distance from the floor it was no wonder he had not seen her. The wild-looking face bent down, and in a deep bass voice

"What is it, littlegal?" "Please, mister, won't you buy my matches?" came in weak, childish tones, so low that the words could not have been understood had the appeal not been reinforced by the holding up of a box of matches, the corners of the paper box all dog-eared aud miserably soiled.

The little figure was bare-footed, and her once calico garment, rent, faded and torn. "No, I don't want any to-day, sissy," said the Texau.

t"Please,

mister, won't you buy my

matches?" with a second pull at the coat. The man turned again, impatiently, and glanced at the little one then, as if ashamed, and with a furtive glance around as if t» see if he was unobserved, put his linger in his vest-pocket, and the next instant a bright half dollar gleamed in the littlo grimy lingers. With a half sigh the big-hearted fellow said half to himself: "Poor little cuss!" "Please, mister, don't you want the matches? I hain't got no change." "Oh, h—11, no keep the change and matches too."

Holding the precious coin in both hands, the match, girl vanished through the front door a'nd tbe Texan, with a muttered, "what a fooljl am followed.

Around the corner and down Sixth street pattered the little naked feet, unconscious that she was followed, and up one of the streets devotod to small dealers and a perfect nest of pawn shops. Into one of the least clean of these she darted and whispered something to the woman, who took a paper parcel out of a drawer and handed it to the child. The child tore off the paper wifh nervous fingers, and there was the sole treasure of her heart—her only possession—her doll. She hugged it to her breast aiid kissed it. What was said between the woman and the child could not be heard, but when the little waif laid the half dollar on the counter the woman shook her head and pushed it far toward the child as if her resolution might not hold out very stead fast. The child looked amazed but turned to go, hugging her dolly, and at the door stood the Texan, with a very suspicious moisture on his cheek and a big lump in his throat. •'I've gota little girl like you at home," said he. "Come along and show me where you live."

Well you may bo sure the sick mother and the little girl were rendered more comfortable, for an hour afterward She held a receipt for a month's rent in her hands and a doctor's carriage stood at the door of that tenement house.

Aud such was the story that was told to the reporter by thebig-neartod Texan, who that night left the Laclede Hotel for his home upon tho wide plain where range his broad-horned beras.

QUAINT CUSTOMS

THAT PREVAIL IN VARIOUS TARTS OF ENGLAND.

Old customs still prevail to a great extent in the northern and western portions of Edgland. In the North, especially amid the great Black Country, thev are almost universal, while in the midlands and tbe South they seem to have disappeared. Many of these customs come within the category of superstitions. In the North no child's nails are cut on Sunday no infant's nails are cut until it has attained the age of one year, but are bitten the Inside of a child's hands are never washed until three weeks after birth infants, before tbey are carried down stairs, are alwavs taken up stairs, in order to insnre their course in the world upward no child is shown itself in the glass, or its teething will be painful cake is always given to the first person met on the road to the christening marriage should nc-ver be performed on a Saturday, but always, if possible, on a Wednesday the person who sleeps first on the wedding night will die first, as will tbe person kneeling first at the marriage ceremony. In Cornwall no miner whistles under ground a Cornish child born after midnight will see more of the world than ordinary folks, and Sunday is an especially lucky day for birth.

RATHER ENTHUSIASTIC, The Wilmington (Del.) Daily Republican lately contained the following item of popular interest: Dr. J. F. Speck, who is connected with the Wilmington Every Evening, speaks rather enthusiastically of St. Jacobs OIL Dr. Speck states that he uses the oil in his family as a household remedy, a sort of universal panacea for all aches and pains, and has always found it to act most happilv. His attention was called to it by toe many testimonials in its favor, and one day he used it upon himself for sore throat. Two applications were sufficient to effect a core. He also used it on his little girl for sore throat with gratifying success. The same child bad scarlet fever this winter which left tbe tendons of one leg much contracted. Tbe little prattler eouldn't walk without assistance and suffered much inconvenience and pain. Several applications of St. Jacobs Oil restored her limb to its normal condition and she has not experienced any trouble since. Dr. Speck states that be has also seen tbe oil act charmingly in toothache. He thinks St. Jacobs Oil is sterling remedy, and does not hesitatc^to reoommend it lor rheumatism, etc.

AN UNUSUAL FURORE.

A Beeeat Excitement Investigated by tbe Herald and tbe Results Made PaMle. Cleveland (O.) Herald. tm? 1

A few weeks ago we copied into our column* from the Rochester, N. Y. Democrat and Chronicle "A

Remarkable

Statement," made by J. B. Henion, M. D., a gentleman who is well known in this city. In that article Dr. Henion recounted a wonderful experience which befell him, and a few days thereafter we published from the same paper a second article, giving an account of the ''Excitement in Rochester," caused by Dr. Henlon'a statement. In tbe Bret article Dr. Henion stated that for a number of years, up to last June, he had been afflicted with what seemed at first a moat mysterious troubh. He felt unaccountably tired at frequent intervals he had dull and indefinite pains in various pans of the body and head, and was very hungry one day and entirely without appetite tbe next. However, as a physician he thought, and so did his

fellow

very

phy-

sicianp, that he w&a suffering from malaria. But yet he grew worse, and was finally obliged to give up a large and lucrative practice. Still be was not conscious of his danger, nor that a monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon him, although all his organs had become gradually weakened. The symptoms above described continued, accompanied by others of an aggravated nature, and he noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids he wa.« passing that they were abundant one day and

scanty the next, and

were covered with froth, or filled with brick dust sediment. But even then he did not realise his real and alarming condition. At last, however, he was brought face to face with the fact that he wa« a victim of a moat terrible disease, and he made heroic efforts for lecovery. He traveled extensively and consulted the best physicians, but they could give him only temporary relief, and that principally in tbe form of morphine. Aod bo he giew eteadily and constantly worse until his life bccame a torture. His pulie WHS uncontrollable. He lived wholly by injections, and for six days and nights he had tbe hiccoughs constantly, which are considered the sore indications of comipg death.

When hope and life were nearly exhausted his pastor, the Rev. Dr. Poote, rector of St. Paul'* church, strongly urged him to try a meant* which the revertnd gentlemun had teen uned with remarkable results. He objrcitd at firi-t, but finally consented, and was conscious of an improved condition the first week. His pvins. gradually disappeared his stomach resumed digestion his heart became regular hit* headache* disappeared he had no more chills or fever, or aciditv of the stomach he gained twenty-Rix pounds in three months, and is a well man to-day, beim miirely ctved of a most pronounced ?e of Bright'* disease.

Although odpc'ous of the const queoces from his professional brethren, still as a duty to his fellow men, and according to avow he made on whit be thought was his dying (ml, he published a card detailing his illnevs »nd remarkable cure "Since iny recovery," he says, "I have thoroughly Veintfektignted the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and I believe more than one-hilf the deaths which occur in Amerlci are caused by Bright's disease of the kidneys. It has no

diatinctiAe

symptoms of its own (in­

deed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidney* or their vicinity,) but has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Hundreds of people die daily whose burials are authorised by a pbypicttta's certificate of "Heart Disease," "Apoplexy," "Paralysis," •Spinal Complaint," "Rheumatism," "Pneumonia," and other common complaint' when in reality it was Bright's disease of the kidneys Few physicians, and fewer people, realize tbe extent of this disease or ils dangerous and insidious nature. It steal* into tbe system like a thief, manifests its presence by the comniontstsymptoms, aud fastens itself upon the li/e be'ore the victim is aw-ire. It is nearly ks hereditary as consumption, quite as common »ud fully as fat*). Entire fam'lies, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none »f the number knew or realised the mysterious power which wa* removing them. Instead of common symptoms it often' shows none whatever, but brings death suddenly and as such is usually aupposed to be heart disease."

Tbe second article entitled "Excitement in Rochester," was made up of interviews with Dr. Henion himself, who confirmed all said in his card, and also witbJMr. H. H. Warner. The latter gentleman did not regard Dr. Henion's case as particularly exceptional, because be bad known of very manjf| such cures by the same means in all parts of tbe land. Kidney diseases, he said, are carrying off tens of thousands every year, while Bright's disease is increasing 250 per cent, a decade, and yet the people do not realize it or seek to check it until too late. He related how a New Orleans medical professor, lecturing on this disease, thinking to show his class what healthy fluids were, subjected some of his ovrti to a chemical test, and although he bad no suspicion of it before, discovered that he, too, had the dreaded disease, which proved fatal in less than a year. There was also an interview with tbe celebrated chemist of the New York State Board of Health, Dr. 8. A. Lattimore, who said he had analysed the remedy which cured Dr. Henion, aod found thtt it was "entirely free from any poisonous or deleterious ubalances."

We have made tbese condensations in order that all the material facts may be set before onr readers. Since tbe public tlion of tbese two articles, having been he-eiged with letters of inquiry, we sent a communication to Dr. Henion, and also one to H. H. Warner & Co., asking if any additional proof could be given us as to the validity of tbe statements published. In answer thereto we have received tbe following letters, which add interest So the entire snbjest and wholly verify svenr statement hitherto made:

BOCHZBTKB, N. Y., Feb. 2,1882. Gianxnm: Your favor is received. The published statement, over aignatsre, to vhich you refer is true in every rsspeet, and I owe my life aadprssent health wholly to the power of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Core. It is not surprising that psople should question the statement I made, for nor recovery was as great a marvel to myself, as to my physicians, and friends.

8IBS: Acknowledging your favor du received, we wonld say: The beet proo we can give you that theetatt-menta madv by Dr. Henion are entirely trne, an would not have been publUhed unless strictly so, is the following testimonial from the best citizens of Rochester, and a card published by Rev. Dr. I'oote, whic you are at liberty to use if you wish.

To Whom it May Concern: Iu the Rochester, N. Y„ Democrat and Chronicle of December 31, 1881£2the appeared a statement in the form of ft card from Dr. J. B. Henion, of thi3 city, recounting his remarkable recovery lrom Bright's disease of the kidney*, after peveral doctors of prominence had ^iven him up, by the use of a prep ratioo manufactured in tbis city and known as Warner's Safe Kidney and IAver Core.

We are personally or by reputation acquainted with Dr. Henion, and we believq he would publish no statement noi lit-* erally true. YVe are also personally or by reputation well acquainted with H. H. Warner & Co., proprietors of this rexoedy, whose commercial and personal standing in this community is of the highest order, and we kttlieve that they would not publish any statements which were not literallv and strictly tiue in every particular.

Jo the Editor of the Living Church, Chicago, III,: Will you allow the following card, personal to myself, 'o appear in your widely cir ulattd papei?

There was published in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle of the 31st of* Dt*c. last, a Hatement made by J. B. Henion, M. D., narrating how be J»ad been cured of Bright's disease of the kidneys, almost in its last *ges, by tbe uce of Warner's Safe Kidow and L:ver Core. I wss referred to in, that j-tntempnt, as hnviog recommended and urged Dr. Henion to try the remedy, which ht did, and was cured.

Now the republishing of his statement in many of the leading journals oi the day h*s been the cause of an incessant fbw of letters to me making many inquiries, but chitfly whether the atateuient is true, or a mere advertidiig dodge, etc, etc.

I beg, theref re, to anticipate any further inquiries, and sive time and tabu*, and sonic pnmnge, by sayiog that tbe statement of Dr. Henion is true, so far, as »t concerns myself, and I believe it to be true in all other respects. He is a puishioner of mine, and I visited hitu in his sicknecs. I urged him to take the medicine, and would 'o the same again tn any one who was troubled with a dineasa of the kidoeys and liver.
