was born in East Lothia, a village a few miles from Edinburgh, Sawney Beane, the son of podr but hard working people. Evincing from boyhood a hatred of all labor, and displaying every kind of vicious quality,beat an early age abandoned his home and fled to Galloway. He was accompanied by a

fit

companion for his crimes in tha person of a young woman,

native of the

same village. The home of this pair was in a cave of about a mile in length and of considerable breadth, the mouth of which was washed

the sea, the tide sometimes pene

trating the cave a distance of 300 yards. The victims were waylaid under cover of night on their way from country fairs, or, in tbs case of isolated travelers across the country, wero openly attacked in daylight. The same soul sickening mutilation was inflicted in each case tho abdomen was cut open and the entrails dragged out and tho body carried to the cave. To prevent detection they murdered every traveler they robbed, and for years they continued their horrible calling. In this manner,the chronicler tells us, they lived uutil they had eight sons and six daughters, eighteen grandsons and fourteen granddaughter*-—all the offspring of incest After a long career of murder the gang were captured by King James, who, roused to action by the long immunity of the criminals from detection, headed a body

troops and succeeded with bloodhounds in unearthing from the cave the whole vile tribe, to whom was meted out a death agreeable with the life they had led. The men, says the historian, had their entrails thrown into the fire, their bands and legs were severed from their bodies, and they wero permitted to bleed to death. Tho mother of the wholo crew, tli« daughters and grandchildren, after Iwiug ^lectatons of tho death of the men, wero cast into three separate fires and consumed to ashes.—Pall Mall Gazette.

What joy may como to a married pair, even with tho first dawning of a new life, if only their hearts aro attuned to mutual interest, mutual affection, mutual aspiratiou. Tho orange blossom is made the symbol of married lovo for no other reason that I know of but because it puts forth its stainlesss petals anew for oach new fruit So in married lifo the Retting of each new germ should be attended with a new flowering of the first love —tho lovo of youth. "A little of tbo old lovo" was tho message with which a husband I once knew always closed his letters to his wife. A little of that saino old lovo raado now aud fresh for tho occasion ought to accompany tho wifo through ovcry stage of each maternal experience. Tho thoughtful attentions, tbo tender endearments of tho wooing time, should be renewed, and they will have a deeper meaning and serve a grander purpose than was possiblo to them before, for loving children are not born into unloving homes. The wife, too, who is thus tenderly cared for will keep her pristine charms of soal, if not of body. Her youthfulncss will be renewed by a perpetual miracle, for that dear "old love" is the true and only fountain of perpetual youth, and it is the privilcgo of married lovers to bathe in it at will—Caroline F.

HOW I SUFFERED

Seventeen years from a Skin Disease. Could not walk or dress myself. A mass of diseases from head to fbot. Cured in eight weeks by the Cutlenra Remedies.

At the age of three months a rash (which afterwards proved to be enema or salt rheum) made Its appearance on my face. A physician was called. He said teething was ihe cruse he prescribed some cooling medicine, but the sores spread to my ears and head. Another M. D. was called. He professed to know all about the case, called It "King's Evil," and prescribed gunpowder, brimstone and lard mixed Into a salve but the disease continued. They could not do anything with it. Another prescribed borax, water, and flour another, linseed poultices. None of them did me any good at all. but made me worse. The disease continued unabated it spread to my anus and legs, till I was laid up entirely, ana from contlnuully sitting on the floor on a pillow my limbs contracted so that I lost all control of them, and was utterly helpless. My mother would have to lift me out and Into bed. 1 could get around the house on my hnndx and feet, and had (o wear a sort of a dressing gown. My hair had all matted down or fallen off, ana my lieud, face, and ears were one scab, and I had to have a towel ou my head all the time In tho summer to keep the flies off. My parents consulted a prominent physician and surgeon here in Chicago (the other physicians before mentioned were of Dundas and Hamilton, Canada). He said he could do nothing for me. lie wanted to cut tho sinews of my legs so that I could walk hut I would not let him. for If 1 did get better 1 would have no control of them.

The disease continued In this manner until I was seventeen years old, aud one day In Jauuary, 1879,1 road an account of yourC utlcura Remented. It described my eas»e exactly that 1 thought-, as a last resort, to give them a trial.

When I first applied them I was all raw and bleeding, from scratching myself, but I went asleep almost Immediately, something I had not done for years, the eflect was so sooth tng. lu about two weeks I could stand straight, but not walk, 1 was so weak, but my sores were nearly well. As near as can judge tho Cutlcura Remedies cured me in alnut six or eight weeks, and up to date ^1. e. from January, 187t», to January, 1SK7) I have not been sick in any way, or have had the least signs of the disease reappearing on me. w.
