THRILLING ADVENTURE. The following adventure, although happening some time ago, has never appeared in print. The hero, a resi dent of Cincinnati, for by that title he deserves to l>e known, was n messeng er in the employ of the Adams Ex press Comyany, and running on the O. M. Railroad, between Cincinnati and St. Louis. One intensely cold night in widwinter, in ISM, the ex press train from Cincinnati reached East St. Louis several hours late. The magnificent bridge over the Mis sissippi had not been constructed, and passengers and freight had to be trans ferred by ferry boat. At the time re ferred to the river was frozen over, and teams passed over without diffi culty or danger in the daytime. Rut at night, owing to the treacherous air holes in the ice, no transfer could be made. The messenger, when he reach ed East St. Louis, had SOO,OOO in cur rency with him, and had been instruct ed to deliver it to the St. Louis office that night, the east side of the river not being regarded as very safe at that time. A little after 10 o'clock at night, equipped with a lantern and carrying his valuable burden with him the messenger started across the river. The mercury was below zero, and the wind blowing a gale added to the dis comfort. There was a mile of ice be tween him and his destination, with hundreds of invisible air-holes to look out for and avoid, but he counted upon making the shore in half an hour at most. He made good progress for the first half of the distance, when a slip on the ice and a fall extinguished the lantern. In such a wind a match could not be made to burn, and there was left 110 other course but to retrace his steps or push on. He chose the latter, because he could bo guided by the street lamps in the city. Getting down upon his hands and knees, he commenced his journey anew. Every few feet he would encounter a danger ous place, aud must crawl around it, sometimes a distance of only a few feet and often several rods. Not a single foot of the distance could be traveled upright. Many times he felt discour aged and tempted to give up. After a while he felt himself slowly freezing to death as he recognized the symp toms, and he felt a sort of joy that he could at least die a painless death after the suffering he had lieen enduring. But he pushed on in spite of the drowsiness that was rapidly overcom ing him. At length he reached the shore, when he for the first time thought of a new danger in the rough characters that belong on the river front. Thus stimulated he tried to make his way up town. Fortunately he run across a policeman, who literal ly dragged him to the express office. He was able only to hand the package to the receiving clerk, and sank to the floor insensible. He had l)een two hours in making the distance, and more than two-thirds of that time had been spent in crawling over the ice. He recovered, but his shortened, stul>- by fingers of both hands, tell in part the story of the terrible suffering of those two hours, and the subsequent days of torment while under treat ment. Qoocl Stuff In Him. There is a curious old adage which declares "the child is father to the man." That seems, at first sight, to be reversing nature, and yet there is a deep meaning in the words. The real thought is, that the habits formed in childhood will commonly last through life ; that the idle and vicious in youth are too likely to swell the list of va grants and criminals, while children who are obedient and trustworthy, grow up respected and beloved. Business men are well aware of this and govern themselves accordingly, as well illustrated bv the following in cident : "Sir," said a lad, coming down to one of the wharves in Boston, and ad dressing a well-known merchant; "sir have you any berth for me on your ship? I want to earn something." "What can vou do?" asked the J gentleman. "1 can try my best to do whatever I am put to," answered the boy. "What have you done?" "I have sawed and split all mo ther's wood for nigh two years." "What have you not done ?" asked the gentleman, who wes a queer sort of a questioner. "Well, sir," answered the boy after ] a moment's pause, "I have not whisp ered once in school for a whole year." "That's enough," said the gentle man; "you may ship aboard this ves- . sel, and I hope to see you the master j of her some day. A boy who can conquer a wood pile and bridle his ] tongue must lie made of good stuff." Soaking calico just previous to the i first washing in a strong solution of either salt or alum is excellent to pre serve the tfolor. ADVICE TO MOTHERS.

JOHN BULL'S SitbsToESmn FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AND ALL MALARIAL DISEASE!. - 1 The proprietor of this celebrated medi cine jnstly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the pubao for the SAFE, CERTAIN, EPEEDY and PER MANENT curs of Ague and Fever, or Chille and Fever, whether of short or long stand ing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no oaoo whatever will it fail to core if the direc tions are strictly folTowed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole fami lies have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every eaee more certain to cure, if ite use is continued . in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usu ally this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonio, a single dose of BULL'S VEGETABLE PA2QLY PELLS will be suf ficient. BULL'S SARSAPABULA is the old and reliable remedy for impurities of the blood and Scrofulous affections—th 9 King of Blood Purifiers. DR.
