The String in Brail Kettle.

ST MKTA LAXDER.

^Tiie pi*"e of'etfuds^irV^1 lay-rolled up ml the cates o.ftlit?Orient .are suddenly illumined, and through them and beyond them the crimson glory comes quivering up, till the whole vast canopy is aglow. At the door of ft cottage, sweetly embosomed in trees, stands a graceful young iroman. Her soul is in her upturned face ns she gazes towards the east, and a peculiar light beaming in h(i:r eye—-the lio-nt of fond affection and sweet anticipation. "Thank God," her lips softly utter, ns she folds her hands upon her bosom, while a gratefnl tear standing in her eye irlisteus tn the dear morning Tight. "Tomorrow, even to-day, he maybe here. Mow quick are the throbbmgs of her heart —how joyous the bright color that mantles her face! Shall it soon fade away into paleness of sorrow? ?!*,

With an elastic step, Mary Sumner (urns towards the garden, and from the neat b"-dg gathers flowers gemmed with the morninw dew, her heart all the while discoursing to her of future joy. As she returns to the cottage, she pauses to trim the honeysuckle which gracefully drapes the little porch, and then, having arranged her flowers on the mantel piece in the parlor, she gently peeps into the adjoining room to see if Freddy is awake But the little cherub is still wrapped in the Elysian mantle of sleep. Softly his mother stands beside him and watches the play of thought -upon his dimpled cheek, as the good fairies, mayhap, are ministering to him good holy dreams. But presently his blue eyes are wide open, and he stretches his little arms towards his mother. "Perhaps pajpa will comc to-day. Will Freddy be glad?" The tiny hands arc clapped in rapture as he shouts." Papa, papa, come? "And while he is frollicktng at his bath, land the bright water-drops glisten like jewels upon his plump form, he time chattering about "dear papa. Alter breakfast, they again sit up in the pleasant nursery while his mother reads to him "a pretty story from the good book. 'iow full of hope and gratitude is her morning prayer, and how does redely "catch her spirit, and in his lisping words thank his great father that hid dear papa is coming back so soon, "this very day perhaps," using his mother's words. •'And Freddy be very good boy!" I Then climbing into his mothers lap, he 4egs for the oft-told, but never worn out story. So she tells him that a long, long time afo, his dear father became sick, and Ivvas ncTvised to travel in foreign lands. 'Havinrf procured some business, he came home one day and said that he was to sail in a week. And then she told him how quickly that busy week passed away, and how the last sad morning came, and how he, the little Freddy, understood nothing that was going on, and crowed with great glee when his father came to bid him good bye, but that on looking into his sorrowful face, he became sober and turned wonderingly away from one to the other, till eotiing the tears which bathed his mother's mce, he too grieved his little lip. and *cried. And she told him how hid father had regained his health and been prosperous in his business, and that, after two long years 'absence, he was now probably almost home. Then kissing her darling boy, she pressed him again and again to her heart, while ho laid his rosy cheek close to hers.

Thus brightly had the morning sun arisen upon Mary Sumner. Who can tell how intentlv those anxious ears listened all the day long for the sound of carriage wheels and how often those hoping eyes were bent upon the distant road

On slow feet trod the tardy hours, while the glow on Mary's cheek still betrayed the secret of her heart. But towards night that bright flush was all gone, and eyes heavy with anxious and foreboding sorrow gased upon the altered sky. The rich glow of promise had departed, and dark clouds hung upon its face. How different the snn$ettin* from the sunrising. The Rtrange stillness presaged a coming storm, anu the cattle tled by instinct to their shelter.

Gloomy night soon settles down upon the scene. "What will it do to papa?" asked Utile Freddy. Struggling to conceal her distress from the child, she answers him with a forced cheerfulness, and soon his head lies in slumber upon his pillow.

Poor Mary 1 The tempest has broken upon them. The lightnings flash, the thunders reverberate and the rain comes tlown in torrents. She thinks of her wanderer upon the tossing waves, wrecked perhaps within sight of homo. Her heart sinks within her, and in an agony of terror she paces the small parlor. Tier thoughts dwell upon the dark scenes until there is no light around her, and -she forgets the Fatherly hand which has so long guided her. "Oh! that could die with him!" breaks from her pale lips. "How can I remain in shelter while he is exposed to nil the horrors of the storm?" In her frantic mood, a thought flushes upon her, and eummoning Meggy, she directs her to take from the attic the large brass kettle that had been her grandmother^, to hang it on ft bough of the tree at the end of the walk, and to place the little ladder near it

Meggy* stares in wonder, replying, "sure ye'u satch enough rain water in all this pouring, any how but perceiving that ner umtrm was in no moot! for discussion, she proceeded to obey her. When slie returned, she took off her dripping cloak and held it before Mrs. Sumner as her silent commentary on what she had been doing. Mary's eye was strangely bright as in ft husky voice she said, "Meggy, IiwY© an engagement, and I want you to $!e»p my bed, and be careful of popr Freddy." ""And -sure I will, ma'am, the honey," repHef JJei^ry, while she drew her sleeve across ner «yes. Site dreaded that mischief was aw*t to befall them but dared uot expoiulate her mista fc

Mm. Sontoer wrapped a lai^e Highland shawl around her, and "taking the lantern in her h^nd, stole one gtan&e at her sleeping boy and tth a deep sigh left, the house. Meajt sal down for a few moments, and. rocking back and forth, she moaned and wailed till her heavy heart was somewhat relieved, and then lay down to rest near poor Freddy, who slumbered on, nneon* scions of his mother's desertion. But where was that mother

•lowly the rain poured down, but she seemed en

dufid with a supernatural strength and courage. Hanging the lantern on a bough

ugr tnt

she contrived to let her?elf down into the kettle. Then drawing her shawl close around her. she strayed back and forth by the winds, while ever and anon the lightnings flashed and the thunder resounded in her ears, the rain fast trickling through the foliage. She was naturally timid and would have been terrified at the wild storm but that excitement sustained her.

Yet of what avail was this self-inflictcd penance? Whom could it benefit? These arc questions of reason, but Mary was now a creature of feeling merely. She could not rest in her quiet shelter, while her husband was exposed to all the fury of the storm. She preferred to brave it with him And as she could not share his real perils, she invented these analagous artificial ones I or the ship she had a kettle, for the tossing waves which might be swallowing up her husband, she was swung forward and backward and forward by the merciless winds. Do you smile at this as absurd? How many a wife, think you, takes an occasional swing in a brass feettie?

Mary's tears mingled with the rarn drops, for in imagination she saw the lifeless body of her husband washed ou shore, and she knew that it would soon be bro't to the cottage. Her groans blended with the dismal shrieks of the wind and thus the long, long hours wore away. At two o'clock in the morning, there was a gradual lull, and Mary's hard cradle was rocked more gently. Drenched, and chilled, and overpowered with fatigue, she sunk into what was fnore a swoon than a sleep

Before it was morning, Meggy awoke but little refreshed, and seating herself by master Freddy, she crooned forth her plaintive songs. Suddenly she caught the sound of distant carriage wheels. They seemed rapidly approaching the cottage, and she listened intently. Then the outer door was gently opened, and taking the light in her hand, she stepped out to see— Mr. Sumner standing before her. Meggy could only scream, "Oh! my mistress! my mistress!"

The joy which shone in Mr. Sumner's face was suddenly dampened, and a deathly faintness came over him, but struggling with his emotions, he desired Meggy to explain her meaning. She soon told him all she knew, accompanying the recital with her half suspicions, that from her not returning, her mistress intended no good to herself. Mr. Sumner was perplexed and astounded by her story, and pausing only to press one kiss on the forehead of his sleeping boy, he stole rapidly down the well-known walk. The first faint dawn was just glimmering in the East as he approached the tree, hardly knowing what he dreaded or expected. Looking up he saw the kettle still suspended, and Mary's head hanging droopingly over the side. In a moment he had climbed the tree, and was looking earnestly in her face, over whose fair features was spread a deadly pallor.

He thought at first that life had departed, and he could hardly suppress a burst -of-«gony Cbl. a mooliug ao unlilto wUftt io had anticipated. But he soon ascertained that she was only in a swoon. How he succeeded in getting that almost lifeless form to the ground, and in bearing it to the house he never could tell. As he entered, Meggy screamed with terror, believing that what she foreboded had come to pass, but overawed by Mr. Sumner's rebuke, she became silent. He laid Mary upon the bed and begun to apply restoratives. Chafing her cold limbs and wrapping her in blankets, while he poured a tea-spoonful of brandy into her mouth, he was soon rewarded by seeing her eyes slowly open.

We will not attempt to* describe' the scene that followed. Amidst much weeping, little Freddy awoke, entirely ignorant of the shadow that had lain around him all night. He found that "dear papa had come," but he could not understand the tears, nor why mama looked so pale.

Some time after, when through the kind nursing of her husband, Mary was able to sit up in her rocking chair, supported bv

pillows, Frederick sat by her side holding her pale hand within his own. Looking archly into her face he said. c"You have not yet asked me how I passed the night." "My head has been too weak, and my heart too full. Bat I «m ready now.77

A sudden flash of humor mingled with the tender reproach in Mrs. Sumner's eye, as he replied "While ray Mary was swinging in the brass kettle, exposed to all the fury of the tempest and periling my dearest treasures her husband was quietly sleeping in comfortable hotel, after thanking God that the ship had been safely moored before the storm commenced. How should I 'had

have felt," added he with a shudder, known where you were!" Mary felt the fond reproach in the' very center of her heart, and she bitterly repented that distrust in a kind Providence, and that folly which had led her thus madly to risk her life. Slowly the tears trickled through her pale fingers, while Frede* rick continued. "As soon as the storm began to abate, I arose long before light, and procured a carriage to bring me home. How my heart bounded as 1 approached our cottage, but dear Mary"—he could not proceed, and they wept together in silence. "Forgive me dearest, and may God forgive me, and I will never dt«truil him again."

Mary Sumner had suffered thucb thro' life from her anxious spirit, but never did she forget tbe lesson which she learned from her string in the brats kettle* f,

A letter from a friend at Columbus, Ind., says that "a man supposed to have been drunk was found dead on Sunday morning, a short distance below town on the Madison R, R. track, with his bead severed from his body and otherwise mangled The cars ran over him on Saturday night. I have not yet learned his name, but he was a citiien of this county."— Stat* Sentinel.

"SSUTI HUMAN STRENGTH. Among the Arabs, the Persians nnd Turks, you do not meet with those undersized. rickety, consumptive beings who are so common in Europe you do not meet with such pale, sickly looking countenances their complexions are bright and florid: they are strong and vigorous, able to ride a hundred miles a day, and capable of lK-riot-minir other most amazing

I J** ..

teats. I remember seeing a most striking instance of their powers. A band of men from the Himalaya mountains, had come to Calcutta, for the purpose of exhibiting strength, and tliev were indeed perfect Samsons. Their size struck me with admiration. I know nothing that I cah compare with them but perhaps some of you have seen the statue at the bottom of the stairs at Somerset House—it is Hercules leaning on his club, is about seven feet high, looking like a being capable of executing the most difficult task—and such men were the athletse.

We selected five men on board the Glasgow, a similar number from one of the regiments, and likewise from an Indiaman, all fine, picked men and yet upon a trial of strength, it was'found that a Himaylayan mountaineer was equal to two and three-quarters of the strongest European. They could grasp a man and hold him in the air, like* a ehild, and if they had not been underjcontrol I am convinced they could have crushed him to death. I felt them, and I never felt such flesh in my life it appeared like rolls of muscles, and yet none of these men ever tasted spirits.

I did not say that drinking water was the cause of this but it serves to prove that abstinence from intoxicating drinks is perfectly compatible with the possessionof great bodily power.—Buckingham.

EXTRACT OF HYDROPIPER,

For Dyspepsia, Scrofula, and all Impurities of the Blood. PREPARED BY ONE OF THE FACULTY.

THISparts

vegetable remedy which is now spreading to *11 of the country. prepared by a graduate of one of the first Medical Schools the west, a pbvsician of high Handing in his profession, and as much opposed to empiricism or quackery as any one can be. as is shown by the factthat the recipe is |iiblished, and accompanies each bottle or the medicine, tbos exonerating it from tbe charge of being a nostrnm.

It is Prescribed by PhT*«cian*»' as will be seen by reference to the Circular and by the accompanying certificate.

Xfnlibe Sarsaptrilla the Hydropiper is quicfc in its action, the first bottle often producing wonderful result* PS in the case of th« negro girl or Mrs. Simmons''s of T.ouisvillc, who was relieved of

arising from impure blood and bad habit of T* .l®

System.

FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, This remedy stands unrivalled. Its effects are wonderful. It is a slight stimulant and a powerful tonic and alterative.

As a beautifier of the complexion, in the cure or pimples and blotches, in producing a clear and beautiful skin, it is a much more safe and surer remedy than all the cosmetics and lotions in existence. Try it, and you you will never regret it. Do not lose confidcnce if it should seem at first to increase the disease—the general effect of the medicine being to drive all impurities to the surface, and by that means out of tlie system.

Dr. A. E. Geohegan—Dear Sir—I have examined your recipe for Compound Fluid Bxtract of Hydropiper, for the cure of Scrofula In all its forms, and other chronic affections, vir.: Female Weakness, Rheumatism, &c. Having prescribed, and watched its effects in many cases of the abgVe diseases, and having always found it effectual, I most cheerfully recommend it to tbe afflicted as the best alterative and tonic I have ever used—altogether superior to Sarsaparilla, and any of its compounds.

CURE OF

100,000 LBS OF WOOL WANTED, good, clean fleece and tub washed, for which I will pay the highest pricc in [CasA, at all times.

Vegetable Fever and Ague Powders: The only sure remedy ever known for Chills and Fever, and warranted to cure, in all cases^if taken according to directions.

It cures, when taken according to directions, in Twenty Minutes, leaving no Fever after the Chill very seldom requiring more than one dose to make a permanent cure. A great number of cases, from two to five years standing, have been cured with the first dose, and Chill has never, as, yet, returned. The beauty of this medicine is, that itstops the Chill in twenty minutes, or less, and the patient will be entirely clear from Fever after the Chill, which is not the case when other medicine is used. It has superseded all other preparations wherever it has been introduced.

Read what the Editors ofthe Louisville Democrat say from their own observation: "Dr. Urban's medicine for the cure of chills and fever has effected some wonderful cures in our own midsi. A young man who has rcsIHed for several years in Lousiana, reached New Albany a few Weeks since, weak and emaciated—literally worn out physically, with long continued chills and fever. He made, a short stay at the house of Judge Smith, where his old disease continued with no less severity than at home in Louisiana.

INTEMPERANCE!

is not in the least injurious to the system. It is pleasant to the tasfc, and will enro the hardest cases of intemperance. We warrant it in all cases if taken according to directions. It destroys the desire for ail ardent spirits when strictly taken according to directions, and will restore the individual to thesamestate of sobriety in which he was before he ever drank a drop of the ardent, and he will not have the least desire for intoxicating drinks. fnt«mperAncq is a disease and as such the greater the t'xeess in drinking tlie more speedily i« the disease developed, and to such the Elixir is presented as the balm of Gilead—the oil of consolation, peace and perfect restoration.

The more fully a^. eloped is the disease the more salutary and powerful the -.Tsct of this Elixir, at once destroying the appetite for spirits, and restoring the tone of the stomach to as healthy an action as it was before drinking a drop of ardent spirits and when intemperance has assumed this diseased form, reason is measurably dethroned, the will to a certain extent becomes ungovernable, until often, alas! many have passed the bounds of sober restraint, and though they may desire, in their sober moments, to abandon the use of that which is| so rapidly proving their bane, they cannot, unaided, and no aid has ever been tendered such, with succes" until the discovery of l)r. Urban's never Tailing Anti-Bacchanalian Elixir since which time none are left without excusc, as the means necessary to destroy the taste, and again enthrone reason, bringing the will into perfect subjection, by extracting the poisonous sting and temptation of the adder, arc placed within every man's reach: those therefore, who hereafter fill the grave ofthe drunkard tnust do so by choice, and not or necessity—it matters not how near it you rcay be.
