QNE MILLION oe, lives saved
It Is one of the remarkable facts of this ro*
markable age- not merely that so mauynersons
are tho victims of dyspepsia or Indigestion, but
Its willing victims. Now, wo would not bo un
derstoocl to say that any one regards dyspepsia
with favor, or feels disposed to rank It among
the luxuries of life. Far irom it. Those who
have experienced Its torments would scout such
an idea. All dread it. and would gladly dispense
with Its unpleasant familiarities. Mark Tapley
who wasjouy under Ail the tryluaolroumstau
ces lu which he was placed, never ifad an attack
of dyspepsia, or his Jollity would have speedily
forsaken, him. Men and womeu sometimes
suffer its tortures uncomplainingly, but whoev
er heard of a person who enjoyed them ? ’
Ofalltho multifarious diseases to which Iho
human system Is liable, there Is perhaps no one
so generally prevalent ns dyspepsia. There are
diseases more acute and painful, and which
feels of wnlch are so depressing to tUemlnd ana
so positively distressing to tho body. If there Is

A. CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
hut H is notour intention to discuutou tho hor

s simply un. impossibility, but it la possibly to
point out a remedy. Wohavesatd thutdyapep
sla Is perhaps the most universal of human dis
eases. This is emphatically the cose.in the
United Btates, Whether this general preva

method ol Us preparation, or the hasty manner
in which It Is usually swallowed. Is not our pro*
jvluce to explain. Tho great fact with which we
are culled lu deal Is tills: '
almost universally.
Nearly every other person you meet is a vic
tim, an apparently willing one, for were this not
the case, why so many t uiiSreru, when u certain,
speedy aud safe remedy Is within the easy
reach of all who desire to avail themselves of it?
But the majority will not. Blinded by preju
dice, or deterred by some other unexplained in
lluence, they refuse to accept the relief profer
ed them. They turn a deaf ear to the testimony
of the thousands whose sufierlngs have been al
leviated, and with strange iulatuatUn, appear
to cling wit,U disperato determination to their
ruthless tormentor. But says a dyspeptic:
Whut is this remedy? to which we reply: This
great alleviator of human suffering Is almost as
widely known as the English language. It has
allayed the agonies of thousands, and Is to-day
carrying comxort and encouragement to thou
sands of others. This acknowledged pauaceuis

wonderful medicine than can bo learned from
the experience of others 7 Try It yourself, and
when ft' has failed to fulfil the assurance of its
eflicucy given by the proprietor, then abandon

LET IT BE REMEMBERED.
first of all, that Hoollund’s German Bitters la
not a rum beverage.
They are not alcoholic In any sense of the
term. ’ They are composed wholly of the pure
Juice or vital principle of roots, This is not a
mere assertion. The extracts from which they
are compounded are prepared by one of the
ablest German chemists. Unlike any other
Bitters In the market, they are wholly free from*
spirituous Ingredients, The objections which
hold wllh so much force against preparations of
this class, namely—that a desire .for intoxicating
drinks Is stimulated by their use, are not valid
in the cos© of the German Bitters. So far from
encouraging or luculatlug a taste or desire for
Inebriating beverages, it may bo confidently as»
sorted that their tendency is in n diametrically
opposite direction. Their olforts can bo
BENEFICIAL ONLY
In all cases of the biliary system Hoolland’a
German Bitters stand without an equal, acting
promptly and vigorously upon the Liver, they
remove its torpidity and cause hbnlthful secre
tion of bile—thereby supplying the stomach
with the most Indispensable elements of sound
digestion In proper proportions. -They give tone
to the stomach—stimulating Its functions, aud
enabling It to perform ite duties us nature de
signed It should‘do. They impart vigor and
strength to the entire system, causing the pa
tient to feel like another being—in fact, giving
him a new lease ofllfo.
- THEY PURIITY THE BLOOD.
cleansing the vital fluid of all hurlful Impuri
ties and supplying them with the elements of
genuine hculthlulness. In a word, there is
scarcely a' disease In whioh they cannot be
safely and beneficially employed; but In that
most generally prevulOntdlstresslngand dread
ed disease, Dyspepsia,
. THEY STAND UNRIVALED.
Now, there are certain classes of persons to
whom extreme Bitters are not only unpalata
ble. but who find it Impossible to take them
without positive discomfort. For such
Dll. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. It Is Intended for
use where a slight alchohol stimulant is requir
ed in. connection with the well-known Tonic
properties of the pure German Bitters. This
Tonic contains all the Ingredients of the Blttert,
but so flavored,as to remove the extreme bitter-
ness, This propurutlon la not only palatable,
but combines, In modified form, uii tho virtues
of the German Billers. Tho solid extracts of
somo of Nature's choicest restoratives aro held
in solution by a spirituous agout ol tho purest
Quality. In cases of languor or excessive debil
ity,Vliere the system appears to have become

acts with almost marvelous effect. It notony
stimulates the bagging and wasting energies,
but invigorates and pertnunoUy strengthens its
action upon tho Liver and Htomach thorough,
perhaps less prompt than tho Bitters, when tho
same quantity Is taken is none tho less certain.

It gives tho Invalid a new and stronger hold
upon life, removes depression of spirits, and in
spires cheerfulness. It supplants tho pain of
disease with the ease and comfort of perfect
health. It gives strength to weakness, throws
despondency to the winds, nud starts the re
stored Invalid upon a new and gladsome career.
But Dr. Hoofiand’s benefactions to tho human
race are not confined to his celebrated
or his invaluable Tonic. Be hnsprepared an
other medicine, which is rapidly winning its
way to popular favor because of its intrinsic
.merits. This is ,

mercury’s evil qualities.
These wonderful Pills, which are intended to
act upon tho Liver, are mainly composed of
Podophyllin, or tho
VITAL PIUNCI'PLE OF THE MANDRxVKB
Now wo desire the reader to distinctly under
stand that this extract or the Mandrake is many
times more powerful than the Mandrake Itself.
It is the medicinal virtues of tills health-giving

ted form. Hence it Is that two 01 the Podophy I
lln Tills constitute a full dose, while anywhere
six to eight or a handful of other preparations

Its biliary secretions in regular and proper
quantities. Tho injurious results which Invari
ably follow tho use of mercury Is entirely
avoided by their use. But It Is not upon the
Liver only that their'powers aro exerted. Tho
extract of Mandrake contained in them is skill
fully combined with four other extracts, one of
which nets upon the stomach, one upon the up
per bowels, one upon tho lower bowels, and one
prevents any griping effect, thus producing a pill
that Intlonces tho digestive and alimentary sys
tem, lc an equal ana harmonious manner, and
Its action entirely free from nausea, vomiting or
griping pains common to all other purgatives.
Possessing these much desirable qualities, the
Podophyllin becomes invaluable ns a
FAMILY MEDICINE.
No household should bo without them. Tljey

ry dose, are prompt and efficient In notion, and
when used in connection with Dr, Hoollnnd’s

sysiem Is ordinarily subjeo. The

act upon the stomach and bowels, carrying off
improper obstructions, while tho Bitters or To
nic purify tho blood, strengthen and Invigorate
the frame, give tone and appetite to tho stom

Dr. Hoollaud, having provided Internal reme
dies fo* diseases, has given the world ono main
ly for external application, in tho wonderful
.preparation known as
' Du. HOOFLAND’S GREEK OIL.
This Oil is a sovereign remedy for pains ami

Child of the grand old autumn I
October floateth by,
A regal grace on her sun kissed face,
And light In her beaming oyo;
4 Over her polished shoulders
To tho dull and fading grass,
The golden brownjofhor hair fllows down,
As her pass.
Bhe will breathe on tho dim old forest; *
And staining of crimson light',
.Like Iho blushes that speak
On her own bright cheek,
Will fall on her loaves tomlght-;
’’""Ahd’Uie'raollowsight-oftheuSwnlDg,^™,—
When tho first faint sunbeams play.
And tho flushes that rest
On the sunset’s breast,
She will leave on the trees to-day.
She will tap at the cottage window
One tap with her fingers cold,
And the fire will be bright
In the hearth to-night,
As itwaHlnthe nights of old,
And hearts will draw close together
In tho lights of the cheery flame,
. While fond lips will bless
For their happiness
Tho sound of October's name.
Then sho’ll touch the tree tops softly,
And'a carpet all fresh and sweet, •
In colors as bright
As the rainbow’s light.
Will fall at her fairy feet;
Sometimes she woos the summer.
By the light of her magic smile,
Sometimes she rails
At the frost king’s halls, .
And bids him reign awhile.
Then whoa the hills are woven
With many a tinted strand,
When a veil of romance
(Like the bright cloud’s dance.)
la wrapped over sea and land,
Like a dream that Is wild with splendor.
Like the sun at Iheroloso of day.
Like the visions that rest
In a maiden’s breast,
October will float away !
INDIAN SUMMER.
At the open window I sit and see
The gorgeous clouds that are passing by,
And the soft south air Is bringing to mo
Perfume as sweet as In Juno buds lie ;
Even the bees are humming to-day, j
And I catch the sound of Children at play.
Did I not see the changing loaves
Brilliant in coloring as the sky,
And the reapers binding their golden sheaves',
I would say the summer had not gone by,
It would seem if nature had paused to think
Before it should reach October’s brink.
But with every breath of the scented breeze
There Is rustling down a withered leaf,
And I hoar the sighing among the trees
That is like a prelude to a grief—
And though the sun shines with a splendor Ilko
Juno,
By this I should know ’tls a fall afternoon.
At the open window I sit and see
Clouds that are passing—hopes that are past;
And the soft south air is bringing to rae ■
Memories crowding thick and fast;
Aud some of the dreams I rocall to-day
Are swept like lao withered leaves rustling
away.
At the open window I still remain,
Aud my soul Is vainly trying to see _
Over the losses—on to the gain—
Knowing how much that gain would be.
Teach me, oh teach mb, how to wait
For the summer so endless—Heaven so groat.
Ipsallaium.
LOST IN A DHEAT OITY.
Crutch & Armless did a .lively business
as wholesale grocers. I was clerk Id their
store. My name is Doray— -Timothy
Doray ; my wife’s name is Betty, for
abort—aud my three year old baby—a
mighty flue boy, by the way—is nick
named Toddler.
Misfortune, which it Is not necessary
to specify, bus forced me to work, at a
salary of seventy-five dollars per month
to support this family, whom 1 hold
dearer than else < u earth.
At the time of my loas, or rather in the
latter part of April. T, with the other
clerks, labored early aud late, night aud
day, the season of trad© being unusually
active, to which was added our prepara
tions for removing, on the first day of
May, to tbe> new store of the firm Busi
ness kept me jumping all the time. I
swallowed xny breakfast In a few mouth
fuls, in ordor to be on time at the store.
I lived so fair away, over two miles, that
i couldn’t afo to dinner.
Ofteutimos I went without my supper,
reaching home at eleven o’clock at night.
Consequently I only saw Toddler to
speak to hiim on Sundays, aud my wife,
pei hupa, an hour or two a day.
No wonder she was lonesome and giv
en to imaginings of the worst kind as to
mv condition ot body, fancying me dead
or mutilated, the victim of some dire
casualty, whenever 1 failed to come home
at the usua/ time. All in vain; it was a
dog’s Hie; but what cun a fellow do when
he’s us poor as an ecclesiastic mouse?
One uigb t Letty asked abruptly, as I
entered: . .... .
‘Seen Dr. Craven to-day, run?
The doctor Is our landlord—an excel
lent man in collecting his rents prompt
ly, and without the abatement of a single
penny.' * .> • _ ,
‘No,’ wafl *my answer. ll.a not the
first, of the mouth.’ . . ' '■ •
'But he’s been. here. Our rent is to be
raised ten dollars u month front the first
of May,’ amd she drew back as if the bet
ter, to study, my face under the effect of
the announcement- Then as my lips
were silent, she burst out with.
•We’ll stay, of course. We’ll Use and
work for him. instead ,of ourselves and
the baby.’ ...
‘I can’t get away from the store to hunt
up a house.’
‘Leave it to me. I'll get one nearer the
store, cheaper rent and a newer building.
It can be done. I’ll do it—if you’ll lot
me.’
‘All right. I prophecy tears for your
trouble,’ In ;» warning way.
‘No more than if wo stay. You dou’t
realize what we have to endure, with no
oue but Toddy to amuse me.’
‘Be more social with your neighbors,’
I suggested.
‘My neighbors !’ scornfully. ‘That’s
lust like a nron I Do you know who are
our neighbors? Of course not. A pros
perous, wholesale washerwoman ou one
side and a dilapidated old quack doctor
and’his m.umitled wife ou the other; In
front, a parade ground for geese. Visitors
none—sava that Insurance sOlieitor, who
seems to come < nly when you can spend
an evening at home, and so spoils my
happiness by his figures. I believe he
watches for you. And his wife—what a
dowdy I I shall die If I have to stay.’
‘Do as you like; but the time Is short.
I wish I could go.’
'Hush! not a word. I'll be glad to do
It, you good old man,’ skipping about
like a little girl. ‘l’ll begin In the niorn
-lUThe next evening I was lucky enough
to reach home by 0 o’clock, and to get a
kiss and a hug from Toddler, napping
In bis mother’s arms. He bad been en
joying life wUh widow Martin’s little
girl, next dooir, and so his dissipation
kept him awake longer than usual.
'I have see n one cottage that I thinly,
will please you,’ began my wife. ‘lt's
about a mile from your store, and we've
been living two miles away, you know.’
‘Horsi cars or ’bus to it?’
‘That’s the trouble. There ore neither
of these at present. You must walk.'
CARLISLE. PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1811.
•Can’t do It.
•It will do you good. Walking is a
healthful exercise'. Lives of great men
all remind us that they were pedestrians.’
she urged. .
‘Can’t help It. I'm not a great man.
Besides, I’ve corns ’
‘Cut them!’ speaking with sharp deci
sion. ‘What are .corns compaied with
health and happiness?’
‘And the shade -trees, and yard and
neighborhood?’ were my next Interroga
tories. .
‘Shade trees—one current bush! Yard
large enough for a cord of wood, sawbuok
and a man to saw; and the neighborhood
quiet add moral, being near a small cem
tery. I knew you would not like the
place. I’ll search again to-morrow,
‘That’s right; don’t despair. Get the
briy a yard that shall be’large.enough to
tah:.hls;hlde— by_th9Ji.un,pfßourse^-.- ;
‘Tlmothyl how can you talk so about
your darling !. Suppose you should lose
Toddler?’ .
, ‘We’ll riot suppose It. Try again, Let
ty. Perhaps you’ll run Into an atom of
Kden that will come within the limits of
our Splnnerless treasury. We must leave
here, as the doctor has rented it. So he
'told me to-day. Here’s the morning pa
per. Let’s see what places are in want of
a tenant.’ ' , . , ,'
In half as hour she had a list of places
to see the nextday. We must find some
thing or live In the street, which would
be unpleasant, though economical.
It was settled the next night. I knew
It by her smiles. A lovely cottage situ
ated so oouveniently, with two poplars
in.front, and a back yard large enough
to hold our week’s washing on the line;
half a mile walk, with busses, oars, and
all of the modern improvements.
.* Hobson’s choice, my dear, was my
comment.
‘The beet we ban get for our money, I
think,’ she replied.
That settled it. The next day would
be the fli at of May, according to calenders
and landlor. s. My wife kindly volun
teered to superintend the moving, as I
should be busy all day at the store in
transferring goods. ’
' ‘Get the most honest am weakest look
ing expressman- you can find, and then
flee ! To move successfully, my dear, is
an act more difficult than to win a great
battle.’ • ,
‘ln theory, Tim, for you, said Letty.
‘For you to-morrow, it will be practice,
Letty.'
A look of grim resolve came over her
face, and I felt that we were already half
moved. ,1 signed the lease, and then we
went into the different rooms together,
that I might say, or look good bye.
‘We have been happy here,’ whispered
my wife* .
'We shall not leave the dormant'echo
of an unkind word’—which was the
truth. ;
‘1 am thankful'We have had.even this'
poor shelter,’ I said, as I closed the door
of the last room visited, never again to
be opened to me.
I bad gone some distance that evening,
when it flashed upon my mind, incident
to business at the .store and the many
bouses to rent, about which we had been
talking, the locatio of our new home
had passed entirely out of my mind.
‘Put it dowri on paper,’ I said to my
wife, after returning. T can’t trust my
memory for a day or two.’
I put the slip in my pocket and turned
away.
‘Don’t go, Tim,’ spoke Letty, with a
sudden and unusual sadness In her voice.
Her eyes were teal ful. 'lt Is bad luck
to come back again.’
'Pehawl An old woman's superstition;
I'll see you to-morrow,.all cosily settled.
Good bye! Good bye, Tod
‘Good by, papa!’ cried Tod, which cry
I heard until I turned the corner, thank
ing God for giving me such a good, pa
tient, loving wife, and a boy that was as
smart and strung as could be found in
the city. 'Tisn’t everybody has such
blessings, nor the half of them; more’s
the pity for the good of the world !
That was bard work we did that night
and day for Crutch & Armless. Not a
minute's let up until 3 o’clock lu the
morning, when wo had a hot supper and
an hour’s rest. Then at it we went again
for the day.
I labored, with my thoughts, with my
wife and h r share of trouble, and with
wonderings as to how she was getting
along, and performed my duties as me
chanically as a steam engine.
It was a very long day to me, and not
one of the men , was more glad than I,
when, early in the evening, Mr. Crutch
came to the office door, and said they
thanked us very much for the way wo
had worked and what we had done, and
that we might quit until the next day.
He guessed matters would ruu smooth
ly now. I was anxious to see my fatnlly,
and hurried away. After rapid walking
for a couple of blocks, it suddenly occur
red to me that I was on my way to my
old residence, and that the street and
number had utterly passed from my
memory, aud that ray wife had given me
a memorandum.
stopping under a gas light, I felt in
my pocket where the paper should have
been. It was not there. All the other
pockets were searched, turned inside out;
but the precious paper was not to be
found. It didn’t matter how I lost It, it
was gone. Then I tried my best to re
call the location; but half a dozen num
bers and streets came tuto ray mind all
at once. I had no trail of the home of
my wife and child.
At nine o'clock at night who could tell
mo where I lived. I was so worn out
with work that this predicament brought
the tears to my eyes for a minute. Ap
prehensions culminated, and I shivered.
What would Letty think of this ab
sence! Where, O, where was she?
•When it came into my confused brain
she bad said sometblpg about Stewart
avenue—the number I could not recall—
I started on a run, for that street and.
reachlngit, wandered to and fro, scanning
the windows to see her faoej the houses'
to note if any one of them answered to
the description she had given. Vain
labor.
Blok at heart I retraced my steps aud
went to police headquarters.
‘What is wauled?' said the police
official.
‘An odd occurrence—l’ve lost my wife.'
‘Yes? Bless your soul, that’s not odd.
Mien come here with that news every
day. Do you know the road—what train
she took?’he queried.
‘Pshaw! I don't mean that,' with,an
angry feeling at his stupidity. ‘My wile
moved on the Ist, and I have lost the ad
dress she gave me. It's tunny, but
deuced unpleasant,' I added, apologeti
cally, as two or three men began to
laugb.
•Well, that Is odd,' the official, a cap
tain, agreed; ‘but I cannot we
can help you.’
‘Nor I,Just at present. You can ad
vise me, perhaps.’
‘You don’t know the street, you say—
Do you know the expressman ?'
‘Never saw nor heard of him, I
answered. ,
‘Wife got any friends here—brothers,
sisters, aunts or uncles?’
•No Intimate friends or relatives.—
We're comparatively strangers In the
city,’
"Well, I don't know what to do. Per
haps wo might find out something in tho
course of three or four days,' meditatively
rubbing his chin.
‘No sooner ?’
•Can’t say. Many thousand families
move on the first of May. Perhaps some
of our men may pick up the family or
news of It; they wouldn’t know about
It unless appealed to.’
‘Thank you,’ I said, turning away In
misery of heart.
By the way,’ continued the captain,
following mo to the door. ‘Does your
wife read the papers ?’
‘Sometimes.’
‘Wouldn’t she be likely to , buy them
under the olrou instances?’
‘Perhaps.’
‘Walt a bit.’
He stepped to a desk and wrote for
three minutes.
*Suppoa6 !you put this la oue of the
dally papers s’
Information Wanted.—Of the resi
dence of Mra. Timothy Doray. Call at
once at the store of Crutch & Armless,
260 Water street.*
•She*d know .what was wanted. No
body els© would mind it, you know.’
‘Excellent. Thank you again, sir. If
anybody comes hero for me you’ll know
where to send them.*
After going to the office ol the prjncl
pal dally paper, and losing the excite
ment of having something to do to
employ my thoughts, there came upon
me as I walked the almost silent streets,
a loneliness and , desolation that was
appalling. , .
What'a miserable, unhappy night that
>vaal Near the whole time was passed
inn chair by the window, at the hotel
‘•where I had stopped. I couldfi’t sleep.—
"If-my"eye9'-‘Oloaea^in,^droWfito39, r J.,wa9:
Immediately beset by terrible dreams
about my wife and child. Awake, my
thoughts were conjectures and apprehen
sions about their safety. I pictured them
sick, alone In a strange neighborhood,
with no one to appeal to for assistance.
I imagined robbers working at the doors,
or ruffians making night hideous with
their, blasphemy. No evil seemed im
possible of success against those defense,
less two. now I was away.
As I drowsed now and then, I would
be aroused by what seemed tbo plaintive,
beseeching call of my wife as if she were
iu the room. An alarm of lire was
sounded, and I pictured to myself the
burning of ray house. Such a night I
hope I may never again endure, so tilled
was every minute aud hour with tbo most
horrible of fancies.
When the gray lightof the early morn
ing spread through the streets, and
people began to move about, I tottered
out of that -dismal hotel, aud went
shivering and weary into the half night,
half day, so that I might walk away
from the thoughts that hud tormented
my soul iu the darkness.
Where was the hearthstone on which
the coals were red for my coming?
Where were the, loviug wife and child
for whom I yearned, with au aflectiou
never before tasted? Why hadn’t they
come for,me?
Sometimes I laughed aloud at my
position; which would bo so ludicrous
when We wore again united. As the
sun rose, so rose my spirits, and I stepped
off briskly, wandering hero aud there iu
regions to* me heretofore unknown.
The panorama of high life and low life
at five o’clock iu the morning is unique
but attractive.
■ Finally, I settled down in a restaurant
for my breakfast, and unfolded my
morning paper. There was my adver
tisement. What an odd thing it was,
to beware. How we*would laugh over it
some day—perhaps to-day or to-morrow,
wife and I.
‘Eh? What’s this?’ I cried out to
myself as my eyes rested ou this para
graph iu a prominent place.
‘Missing.— Mr. Timothy Doray has
been missing from his home since the
night of April 30, No reason is known
for bis ctiysterious disappearance. Any
Information as to his whereabouts will
be thankfully received by his afflicted
wife.’
Iu all my life I never knew of any
thing quite so extraordinary—a husband
and wife lost In a city, and each adver
tising the other. X could hear my heart
beat with joy as I realized that at least
there was a clUe to my home.
Not a mouthful of breakfast had been
eaten. I was feasting on the joy of ray
discoveries. I, contemplated for a few
minutes in au epicurean way, the
dejeuner of a discovery, then started for
the office of that excellent morning paper,
that valuable journal whose circulation
was limited only by undiscovered aud
unexplored lauds.
That editor was an angol, seen through
my eyes just then, and his printers were
all of them cherubs of a mammoth de
velopment. Glory I I’ll have a wife and
baby within uu hour, sure.
, I was walking briskly, my eyes fixed
on the pavement, .my thoughts hours
ahead anticipating, when suddenly some
one caught my arm, roughly exclaiming:
. ‘Here, you! Can't you stop? A lady
has been running after you for half a
block. You’re worse than a horse car to
stop;’ aud then without waiting, he
passed ahead.
As I looked at blm with angry aston
ishment a little hand grasped my arm :
there was the rustle of a dress aud
quickly drawn breaths.
•Tim, what is the matter?’ said the
figure, as she followed the question, right
ou the street, with a kiss.
Of course it was my wife.
; *What is the matter? 1 she asked again.
‘Why haven’t you come home? Where
have you been? O, shame, to desert
poor Toddler and . me!’ laughing hysteri
cally and clutching my arm firmly.
I felt like catching her up iu my arms,
so great was my delight, hut a due regard
for the public restrained that excess’ot
emotion. As it was I looked at her with'
hungry eyes, and with my heart bumping
up -into ray throat, and my tongue
tangled with a confusion of words I
wanted to utter all at once. I presented
a statue of glad surpiise, motionless as is
In atoue.
‘Why don’t you speak, Tim, to your
poor wife? Tell her what has kept you
away so loug! Let us not stand still
here with people staring so. 1
‘l’m happy now, wife, to begin with.
Put that down as a credit mark —as long
as from here to the North Pole. I didn’t
go home because I didn’t know where to
go.’
‘Didn’t you know where to go ?’ she
echoed.
‘No I I lost the location out of my
head, aud your memorandum of it out of
my pocket. I have had to wait until yon
found me—as you have, thank-you ! Why
didn’t you go to the store?’ • ••*
: ‘So I did, the old one.. No -one was
thete, ,qot au animate -thing, ,to say
where the new store was ; and you never
informed me.’
‘So I didn’t. I forgot it. Why didn’t
you go to the police?’
‘I forgot it—never entered my head.
You see I’m not used to a missing hus
band# O, I’ve been so miserable, and—
Tim, there’s, a gentleman beckoning to
you,’
It was Mr. Armless In his carriage.—
‘Seen the morning paper, Doray V lie
asked, os I came up.
‘Yes, sir! This is my wife, Mr. Arm
less. We’ve just found each other by
accident.’
‘l’m very glad to know this, and your
self, madam,’ he said bowing. ‘I was
just on my way to the newspaper office
to give my testimony. I’m glad it’s
turnedout so nicely.’ He bowed, touched
his horses, then stopped them.
•By the way, Doray,’ he began as wo
came up. 'take a couple of days’ leave,—
You are entitled to it. It’ll be all right
at the store.’ and with that he was away
without waiting to hear our thanks.
Alter that we walked homeward, like
lovers. Tho distance seemed very short.
1 looked at the streets aa we came before
ourhouse.and made a mental calculation.
‘Letty, Letty,’ I cried in self-reproach,
‘this house is only five blocks from our
now store I’
‘lt has been a thousand miles away for
two days,’ she replied softly.
I looked into the yard of the mansion.
Bless his dear little heart, there was
Toddler sliding down the collar door,
under the superintendence of a miss of
ul.out six summers.
•Hello Todd!’ I cried.
•O, papa!’ he yelled, running towards

MAROONING IN FLORIDA.
In tho spring and summer many people
go marooning, lu Florida. It means to
go out Into the' woods and camp with the
whole family; to fish and hunt and
amuse yourself generally under the tents
or huts —to lead a wild wood life, and <o
enjoy a little of savagoness, with all the
appliances of civilisation.
The whole family and the neighbors
will gather, and generally go to some
island on the coast, taking guns and
ll'hlng tackle, boats, dogs, servants,
cooking utensils, and some food, lest the
hunters might be unsuccessful* and camp'
out ior some weeks.
An island is generally selected, because
it is more a fishing than u hunting par
ty, aud then au, island Is less likely to
be disturbed by snakes and wild cattle.
The wild cattle of Florida are really wild
_anima'B;..they_wJll attack a.man on fop',
’Tjnd’4)renir*iiTtif”cami>-ttud-Rive^fcrouble r
like other wild animals. Au island can
be searched at oace tO|see if there are any
bears or other wild cattle on it; snakes
can be destroyed and everything prepar
ed for the women and children, so that
they may be left iusafety during the ab
sence of the hunters. Touts are put up
or shelters made of tho palmetto. This
palm will make a stout thalch/the long
stems are fastened with bear grass atrlugs
to polls, aud shelter made that will en
dure for mauy seasons. If snakes are
feared, hammocks are swung between
the trees, a lire lighted and kept burning
day and night, and cooking aud house
keeping going ou.,
If it is au old camping or marooning
ground, a garden and orchard of oranges
will have been already established; and
not only oranges, but grapes, bananas,
potatoes, .arrow-root and other vegetables
will bo already found growing. At any
rate, the cabbage palm aud the manive
will furnish vegetables; the hunters pro
vide' meat and fish; the supplies from
home, alibi'd coffee and bread. A wll<j ox
killed will furnish beel; salt can be made
by boiling sea water, aud a jolly time
generally can be had if the party are
disposed for it. The hunters bring,in
their game, the fishers the result of the
net, rod aud spear; c.'ffeo and bread are
already made, fruit is gathered, aud a
good supper is enjoyed, theu'to sleep iu
the hammocks, aud to-morrow for more
sport.
Such an open air life will bring color
to the check of disease, and chase away
low spirits and dyspepsia. Such a life
can be enjoyed marooning in Fldrida.
ANECDOTES OF WASHINGTON AND ANDRE.
Many yearn ago I made my first visit
to Washington's headquarters at old
Tuppau Town, about half a mile from
the ‘Seventy-six House.’ The ancient
edifice was more, than a hundred and
twenty years old, and, although built of
stone, seemed almost tottering to its fall.
It hail had four roofs, one on the top of
the other, and from the first lower layer
of cedar shingles I selected powdering
specimens which,pulled out easily, and
have them now among my Revolution
aryrelics.
I entered with my friend, whose guest
I was at the time, and who was a resi
denlof the immediate neighborhood. —
We were courteously welcomed by Its
thenoccupauts, two elderly ladies who
weroborn in tbe house,
Nothing cofald be in more perfect keep
ing with the mansion than thee two
venerable women. Their name was Ver
Bruyck; and I was the more interested
in them because I hud recently become,
acquainted in New York with a relative
of theirs of the same name, a promising
.young painter, who was fast Increasing
his reputation as a very natural artist aud
a keen observer of the picturesque. One
of his most admired sketches, I soon
saw, was a mosi life-like picture of this
same old hou^e.
One of the two ladies was over eighty*
years old, and her sister was seventy-five.
They were very lively for persona so
aged aud were obligingly communica
tive. ’
‘Did you ever see General Washing
ton?’ I inquired of tho oldest lady.
‘Oh,-yea —many and many a time,’ she
"answered, ‘in this very room. He often
used to hold me in his Jap. I remember
it just as well aa if it was .but yesterday ;
ho was a lovely man, General Washing
ton was. And hqre,' she continued, go

to drink out of; and here's the very
bowl he used to make his wiue sangaree
into; and they used to pass it round
from one officer to another when they’d
c mid to sec him ; and they helped them
selves. lie seen a good deal of company,

1 ‘Did yon ever see Major Andre?’ I
asked.
‘Ob, yes—more’u llfry tunes. He was
a beautiful man. Ho ULs-*bH me twice.’—
I,was a little girl then. I seen him the
very morning they took him on to the
top of the hill t<i hang him. The day
before, in the morning, I took him up
some handsome ripe peaches, He thanked
me so kindly, ami broke one of ’em open
and put it into his mouth, and fasted of
it; but somehow or’nother, he didn’t
seem to have no appetite.’
I asked how General Washington
seemed to feel on the occasion.
Oh, he must have felt dreadful! ."He
walked backwards and forwards all the
morning in this very room ; and I heard
Pop Bluuvelt say that he never see him
feci so bad afore. He kept looking at his
watch every now and then, ami was
uneasy till, the time had come and Major
Andre was hung. I seen Major Andre

SPEECH OF FRANK P. BLAIR.
Senator Blair, who Is In Alabama, as
one of the sub-" Ku Klux” Committee,
made the following speech at a public
meeting, held In Montgomery, oh the
evening of the 10th of October:
Fellow-Citizens There are’some
questions growing out of the position of
the South,' which I feel called upon- to
mention, but with diffidence, and dis
claiming any purpose of giving anything
like advice to the people of the South. I
have read letters and speeches by distin
guished men of the South, which touch,
all the South and all who sympathize
with the South In other quartenof the
country. I have seen It proposed, that
in tlie'neJtt,Democratlo Convention to be
■heidlhrlho norninatlon- of a .candidate,
for President of the United States, the
South should forbear to take any part
whatever ; that the South should decline
to be represented, but should accept
whatever candidate the Democrats of the
North may see proper to offer. Idisaent
entirely from that proposition. I think
I may have the protest of every Demo
crat In the West and North. [Applause;}
The triumph of the Democratic party
is the safety of the South, and who
should guard its safely but Southern
men? If they fail why may not others
also fail ? My fellow citizens, a triumph
which will relieve you is the thing which
the South looks to and looks to alone.—
They have no question of personal favor
ites to be advanced. To them ail Demo
crats are alike. Their choice will fall upon
him who is most likely to carry that
banner in triumph. If the South falls to
give us the beneflt of her wise counsel—
If she falls to send her prudent and wise
men, who will go there with an eye sin
gle to auccaas-r-lf they leave the Democ
racy of the North to struggle mr a nomi
nation amidst the contending factions of
the aspirants, she will withhold from uj
the benefit of the wisest ahd most Impar
tial counsel we can have. If she should
abstain, even though it be upon the
ground stated by some of the distin
guished gentlemen who advocate the
cause,, and who say that their presence
in the Convention of 1808 was laid hold
of and used to the destruction of the
partv, I toll you their abstinence now
wilfbe claimed as a refusal to go with
the Northern Democrats because they
have adopted the “ New Departure." It
will be claimed that the spirit of rebellion
still lingers and burns under the smoul
dering ashes, and it is lighted into a now
flame of indignation because the Demo
cratic party of the North, or a large por
tion of them; have assumed for reasons
which seemed good to them to make cer
tain concessions in their platform. It
would be suicidal—lt would be destruot
tive of our very best interests.
I do not know how well it is known,
but for those who care for my opinion, It
is known that lam no friend,of the new
departure j but I believe in the patriotism
and the purity of the motives of those
who have chosen that path; but while I
shall still hold to the opinions which I
have heretofore exorcised I shall not
yield one inch of my own convictions as
to the Constitutionality of. the usurpa
tions of the Badioal party. lam willing
to fight the Badloals In any shape the
Democratic party may determine upon.
I believe that tbo new departure, so far
from being good policy, has proved dis
astrous ; but what the party adopts as Its
policy I shall maintain without surren
dering my own convictions.
I believe that policy has failed to give
us success in the elections of this Summer
and Autumn, and for the reason that it
was a confession, in open court of our in
ability to carry the' elections upon our
own principles. It was a confession that
we must make a concession in order to
draw to-us others,* who, had heretofore
acted against us, but In making that con
cession it failed to place candidates be
fore the people in harmony with that
platform. Thus, while some Democrats
were disgusted at this concession, no Be
publicaus were conciliated. Now, my
fellow-citizens, to my view the future
does not look gloomy even under „the
losses we have suffered this Summer and
Autumn. I have not a single feeling of
despondency. It is well understood that
the Bepublloan party contains in itself
deeds of discontent and bitterness of riv
alry and disaffection, and it is naturaljin
these preliminary elections that those
who antagonize the nomination of Qeu’l
Grant should attempt to hold their posi
tion within their party in order that
their iutluence may be used to defeat liis
nomination. 1 know very well that his
nomination will not be defeated, at least
that is my solemn conviction. He is
now dictator in the Republican party,
and he aspires to be such In the country
at larged I believe he will dictate hla own
nomination, but then, my fellow citizens,
I know that some of the most conspicu
ous able and courageous men who stand
highest in the Radical party will leave
the Republican party when Grant is
nominated.
When they fail to defeat him for the
nomination they will take good pains to
defeat his re-election ; and, again, instead
of going for a new departure I would
prefer to go for a man who represents the
now departure. I would prefer to give
that guarantee to the disaffected Repub
licans: or, whe t would be'better, one who
might bo nominated by the Democrats
in their convention, and thus draw to us
by a much stronger guarantee than the
mere words of a platform, the support of
those who are disaffected with Grantand
the Radical party. In other words, Ido
not see that we can go back on our prin
ciples In making a choice between candi
dates, neither of whom may suit us ex
actly We could all vote for a Republican
who was In favor of universal amnesty,
.against the ku klux bills and against the
military laws, while the most ancient
Bourbon In the State of- Alabama could
vote for such a Republican In preference
to U. B. Grant, and hold all the time to
his very heart all that there would be of
his Bourbonlam.'
My fellow-citizens, the State of Vir
ginia has adopted this policy—that State
which furnished the illustrious states
men and the Illustrious warriors who
were foremost In the struggle for our In
dependence; that State which gave .us
a long line of Illustrious Presidents; that
State which, in out unfortunate war, af
ter having guided the councils of the
nation for so many years, furnished the
nerves and statesmen of the Southern
Confederacy ; that State which not even
Radical reconstruction could subject to a
scalawag or a carpet bagger i that State
which was cleft in twain by the Radical
Congress to add to their power by dupli
cating its representatives in the Senate
in order to oppress the South, and which
the wise sous of Virginia have erected
into two fortresses for the defence of their
country. Shall the Democracy of the
South hesitate to follow the counsel of
the Old Dominion ? Why, we have taken
hold of the example In Missouri; tram
elled with election laws and disfranchised,
wo have risen and rent the bonds which
bound us. I believe that the State of
Missouri at the next Presidential election
will give a larger majority than any
other State for the candidate ol the Dem
ocratic party.
The men of foreign birth who have come
hero are neither of the North nor of the
South ; they are not identified with any
one section of our country in the sense
in which those who are native-born are
Identified with the particular sections in
which they were born. They come, and
are made citizens of .the whole country*
and all parts of It, and while upon the
question that recently divided us In sen
timent they sided with the North, It Is
natural that they should do so, because
naturally they looked upon this country
ns one and Indivisible, and now, with
the same sentiment In their hearts, they
cannot see why one section of the coun
try should bo subjected to the other. In
my judgment these are the men to whom

It was, my fellow-oltizens, who led the
entire German element of the State of
Missouri to break down the disfranchis

‘Now, my fellow-citizens, the Germans
in Missouri, though Bepublicans almost
to a man, have always voted against dis
franchising those who were opposed to
them during the w4r. They needed no
Instruction on that point from anybody,
and they resolutely maintained the doc
trine that neither Congress nor the
States could, by a bill of attainder, de
prive men of the right of suffrage. They
maintained that position in the last con
test through which we passed ia Mis
souri. They held it good against the
blandishments and threats of tho admin
istration. They stand farely and square
ly to-day, solidly, to the last.man, against
all disfranchisement and for universal
amnesty. They ate opposed to thla.Ku
Klux legislation [loud applause]; against
the suspension of the writ of habeas cor

others, who is sound upon these princi

The Patagonians and Their In
fants Their superstition makes them
egard as divinities all phenomenal
children, particularly such as ate born
with a larger number'of fingers or toes
than'- Is natural to them. According io
their belief, Il ls a pressage of great hap
piness for their family. As to those that
are altogether deformed —such coses are
very rare—or whoso constitution docs
not appear to fit them for the kind of life
they would have to; lead, they make away
with them, either by breaking their
limbs or smothering them; then they
carry them to a distance and abandon
them, without burial, to the wild dogs
and birds of prey, , If the innocent little

Eveby person should cultivate-a nice
sense of honor. In a hundred different
ways, this moat necessary adjunct of the
true lady or gentleman is often tried.—
For instance, oue ia a guest of a family,
where, perhaps; the domestic machinery
does not run smoothly. There la a sor
row in the house unsuspeoted by the out
er world. Sometimes It is a dissipated
son, whose conduct is a shame and grief
to bis parents; sometimes it is a relative,
whose eccentricities and pecularifies are
a cloud on the home. Or, worst of all,
husband and wife may not be in accord,
and there may be often bitter words
spoken, and harsh recriminations. In
any of these asses the guest is in honor
bound to be blind and deaf, as far os peo
ple are concerned. If a gentle word can
do any good, It may well be said; but to
go forth and reveal the shadow of an un
happy secret to any one; even to your
nearest friend, is an act of indelicacy and
meanness almost unparalleled. Once in
the precincts of any home, admitted to
its privacy, sharing its life, all you hear
and see is a sacred trust. It is really as
contemptible to gossip of such things, as
it would be to steal the silver, or borrow
the books and forget to return them.

Jerrold listened to the end of the story,
and then quietly remarked: ‘She simply
thought you better than nun.'”.
George Washington was a man of
old-fashioned honesty, as appears from
the following memorandum made by
him when Oommander-ln-Chlef: “By
cash, £133 16”—Note—“This sum stands
in my Recount as credit to the public,
but I can find no charge of It against me
in any of the public offices. Where the
mistake lies I know not, but wish that it
could be ascertained, as I have no desi re
to injure or he Injured.”
How many a kiss has been given, how

how many a kind word, how many a

babe has gone from earth to heaven —
how many a little crib or cradle stands
