Rgnstipationy
IF not remedied in season, is liablo to
become habitual and chronic. Dras
tic purgatives, by weakening tho bowels,
confirm, rather than euro, tho evil.
Ayer's Pills, being mild, effective, and
strengthening In their action, aro gener
ally recommended by tho faculty as tho
best of aperients.
"Having been subjoct, for years, to
constipation, without being able to find
much relief, I at last tried Ayer's Pills.
I deem It both a duty and a plcasuro
to testify that I havo derived great ben
efit from tholr use. For over two years
past I have taken one of theso pills
every night before retiring. I would not
willingly bo without them." G. W.
Bowman, 20 East Main St., Carlisle, Fa.
" I have been taking Ayer's Tills and
using them In my family slnco 1857, and
cheerfully recommend them to all in
need of a safe but effectual cathartic."
John M. Boggs, Louisvillo, Ky. ,
" For eight years I was afflicted with
constipation, which at last becamo so
bad that the doctors could do no moro
for mo. Then I began to tako Ayer's
Pills, and soon the bowels rccovored
their natural and regular action, so that
now I am In excellent health. S. L.
Loughhridgc, Bryan, Texas.
" Having used Ayer's Pills, with good
results, I fully Indorso them for tho pur
poses for which they nre recommended."

A MISTAKE. j
Before ho went atnx to make kla
fortnno Samuel Wndleigli liail been very
much iu'loTo with Cora Enstmnn. It
vftia a boy nnd girl ntfotohinent, nnd a ,
very romantic one. Tho boy wa a tall, :
bluo eyed fellow, with a mnall wnlt
nnd curly golden hulr thnt lay in thick
little rings all over his head. Ho was at
once very manly and very yonthfnl in
appearance, and it would have lieen
hard for a girl not to fall in lovo with
hint if he had tried to make ber. Cora
was a little brunette with big black eye
nnd a good color, nnd he thought hot
beautiful.
He longed to offer her his hand aud
heart and get her to engage herself to
hint before he left home: but he reflected
that ho had no right to bind her by any
promise until ho was sure of that for
tune ho was going to seek, and when ho
yavo liei! a little forget-mo-not ring he
only spoke of it tw a token of friendship.
However, when they parted she know
as well ns he did that ho loved her, and
looked forward to the usual iinnle of a
wedding.
Time passed on. Tho young people
wrote at first once a week, then once u
month, then occasionally. "Absence"
says tho modern poet "makes the
heart grow fonder of somebody else."
Young Wndleigh went a good deal
into society abroad, and Cora had plenty
of admirers. He got into a convivial
set, where they tlrank a good deal of
wino and had liberal views. Sho be
came very pious, nnd rather leaned to
prohibition. Their last letters were
very formal, and when fifteen years had
passed and Samuel Wadloigh found liini
self coming homo with the fortuno lie
had made after nil, he scarcely remem
bered Cora Eastman.
Certainly Cora did not know him.
Tho light haired youth had changed into
a man of 40. All his curls wcro gone,
and his head to his ears was as smooth
and shiny as a billiard ball. His waist
was gone, too. Ho had the proportions
of an alderman. Howovor, ho was still
what people call a fine looking man. As
for Corn, sho had all her black hair and
no wrinkles, and had kept her trim littlo
flguro, but sho liad changed curiovjwy.
He knew her at onco, but she was not
the same. What does Timo do to ns?
When does he do it? How doos he do it?
If wo women could but iind out I
There was nothing to sigh over in
Miss Eastman's case. Sho was a tight.
trim little woman of fivc-and-thirty.
but whero wore Cora's smilos? tho dim
ples that seemed about to appear when
she smiled? tho Boft brightness of the
eyes? the way of looking and moving.
All gone vanished 1
It did not occur to Mr. Wadleigh that
he had altered much more itnever does
occur to men. Ho told Miss Eastman
that he was delighted to soo her onco
more, and sho said polito things to him,
wondering all the timo whother this
could lie tho charming youth who used
to sot her heart beating by a touch or a
glanco this very nice person, portly,
well to do, well mannered, but not in
tho least interesting. She compared
him unfavorably with Mr. Sweetsmile,
the charming new clergyman who had
just had a call to their church, and who
had taken both her hands in his only
yesterday and mid, "What we should
do without you in the Sabbath school,
Miss Eastman, I cannot imagine! Ho
was charming!
The course of events throw Samuel
Wndleigh a great denl into the society
of his old love; the families were con
nected and movod in the same circle.
By degrees he met small nieces and
nephews who had been children when
he went away, and were now young
ladies aud gentlemen among them a
certain littlo Cora, Miss Eastman's
niece, prettier than she had ever been,
and with all her witching ways, her
half-hidden dimples, her smiles nnd her
sweet side glances. She sat opposite
him at tho-dinner table, and ho could
fancy all the years rolled away, aud he
the boy who gave the girl he loved the
forget-mo-not ring. He remembered
her n pudgy little child in white fur
walking with her maid in the park and
kissing her liand to auntie.
"Wlmt h charming irH" he said to
Miss Eastman. "You over again!" And
then Miss Eastman made the younger
Cora some nnd talk to "her old friend,
Mr. Wadleigh."
Cora had heard of him its the treiitle-
manwhohad been her mint's admirer
and lived single for her sake, and she
was very nioe to him. She felt tliet he
had a rownntio history, and that Aunt
Cora ought to have been more, constant,
and so she was, as we have Mid, very
nice.
And of all this Mr. Wadleigh never
dresuued, and little thrills went through
him, and he made up his mind that fate
had been very good to him. Here was a
lovely young creature exactly the sort
of girl he admired smiling on liim and
listening to all his coinpliuionts in away
that encouraged him to itay more.
"The elder Com is a very sensible wo
man," he said to himself. "Hue hue quite
forgotten old times; she lias none of
those foolish little ways Mutt eowe wo
men would lutve of reminding me tlt we
were lovers. Really, some of those first
letters of miue were tantamount to pro
posals; but it is all over; I am quite free.
I'm a good match. No doubt little Cora
Will see tliat at once," aud after soli-iunly
deliberating the onw and on- for thret
days and nights he began to take Cora
out to drive behind a lxtir of very hand
some horses, to send her bouquet , and
to invite her to the opera. As shore
sided with her Aunt Cora ho naturally
invited the other lady in, chat ron. He
did not i-uy that, but liluinly she under
Stood it. fur ahu left niotd uf tin talk to
the gul iinilw.i- bomt'tuiuvt gimt' ami
Ifileut. Once ol twice she e eu seemed
to try to excuse heraelt.
"So icrv Hfiisilile," thought Mr. Wail
kltclu aud at la&t. whelt ho had. tie Im
ciea, spent time cnongli dancing ntterm
nnoe on this fair one, he seated himself
one evening at his desk and wrote anJ
offer of marriage. "Which," he added,
"surely cannot surprise you yott must
know by my manner how I feel."
Tula ho addressed to Miss Cora East
man and carried to the honie with his
own hands.
-"For Miss Cora," he said to the (serv
ant. ' 'Don't make any mistake. "
Not I, sor." said old William. "I
know right well which lady it's for."
wow ow Wlllltim lutdbean in the fam
ily many years, ne well remembered
taose old days when this gentleman was
spoken of as Mr. Samuel, Miss Cora's
sweel heart, in the kitchen. Ho had no
donbt whatever that the letter in his
hand was meant for big young lady.
The "bit of n girl," her niece, he still
considered A child,' nnd so With slow and
Solemn steps he made his way to Miss
Eastman's own room, rapped on the
door, opened it nnd entered on tjptoe.
sBlsj uorn" sBldhe lnnn awful whii-
ner. ."Ulster Saamwell I rflenn Mr.
WliUeiSh-'toiUQ mo to give yon this
qune,pnvHrer anu to ue particular niiotic
It."
tluwk yon, William," saidMissEast-
lnaiT, and when he was gone she sat
looking at the envelope rather dismally.
At lost she opened and read it.
"1 thought o," Sho commented, with
a little groan.
On the evening he had appointed in his
letter Mr. Wadleigh rang the door bell
a little apprehensively. He had a
carnation in his buttonhole and tt big
bouquet in his hand.
William opened the door, nis smilu
was confidential.
"Miss Com said if you would take a
sato in the library she'd rosave j-ou in n
fow minutes," ho whispered, and Mr.
Wadleigh en tered tho library. Hero nil
was very quiet nnd no cnllers would
intrude. Hero he would loam his fato.
"And why should I fear it?" he asked,
surveying himself iu tho glass over the
mantelpiece. Yot all tho sumo he was
conscious of a certain tremor, rather
inward than outward, and his ears
burned.
Ten minutes at leant wero given him
in which to quiet himself. Then n door
opened at the end of the library and a
figure entered Com. He started up
nnd advanced toward it. It wns Cora
certainly, but not the one ho expected
not hi,a new lovo, but his old. Ho
stopped stood still. She advanced; sho
held liis letter in her hand. It suddenly
dawned upon him that William had
made a mistake.
"Pray be seated," said Miss Eastman.
nnd he wns very glad to sit down.
"I bog," said the lady, "that you will
givo mo a littlo time. I can not formu
late my ideas as I desiro to. I"
"Oh, tako time, tako timer said he,
and walked away to the window.
It was all up with him, ho felt. She
would shortly exclaim, "Samuel, I am
yours!" and perhaps fall into his arms.
All tho mistaken spinsters and widows in
tho plays did that, nnd he must make up
his mind to it. There had been a tacit
engagement between them. It hud never
been broken off. He had written to
Cora Eastman. Sho was Cora Eastman.
Nothing could alter that, and ho could
not injure and insult her. After all,
she was a nico little woman, nnd of tho
proper age for his wife.
Sho wns pretty still, she was good.
Ho had not the strength of mind to col
out of this fix, unless it had been bad
enough to warrant him in cntting his
throat. And nt this moment she spoke.
"Samuel," she said she had not called
himiiamnel since his return "Samuel,
have found words at last. Come
hero."
Ho cumo aud sat down in n great chair
opposite her.
"You can t tell how I feel," said she.
'You tell me I must have oxpected this
letter, but I did not. I thought youhnd
forgotten. If you had said a word one
word. I was very coustnnt for years,
but time lias an influence. I've altered;
so havo you. I did not know you when
I first saw you, but still had I guessed
I should have thought it my duty to try
I I it must come out somehow. I
am engaged to be marriod to our pastor,
Mr. Sweetainile, and I feel that I havo
chosen for my happiness. Don't feel too
bad, Samuel. I will always bo a sister
to you."
Ten minutes before this Mr. Wadleigh
would have fancied that he must rejoice
at this termination of their meeting.
Here he was out of his dilemma, free
again. All he liad to do was to bow,
look grave, accept the position of friend
and brother, and retire gracefully! but,
after all, he bad been refused, and he felt
angry. He had been informed that he
was no longer an Adonis, and he was
hurt; and somehow Corn, in her excite
ment under the influence of emotion,
and in tlie shadows of the library, looked
so ohanning that some portion of his old
love Hprung to life again. Now that he
know he could not get her, and that
some one else wanted her, she became
desirable.
"I am an idiot," he said aloud, wid
Cora answered:
"Oh, dear, not I shall always remem
ber yonr truth anil oongtauoy very ten
derly." He bowed and took his hat He
bowed again and retired to the door. As
he went along the passage to tlie central
hall of the large house he hen,rd. the
front door open.
"William, where is auntie?" said Cora's
voice.
"In the library," Baid William. "Bnt
don't you go there. Mr. Samuel is in
there offering of hisself. Poor gentle,
man, I'm afraid it's the day after tlie
fair; but such is life."
Then Cora giggled and ran upstairs.
Mr. Wadleigh never, proposed to the
yonngost Mihs Eastman. Later he mar
ried a showy widow who admired him
intensely. She had no young Samuel
Wndleigh with hyacinthine locks and
blender waiht to compure him with, and
still Mrs. Bweethunle keeps a little forget-me-not
ring in a little Kuasia leather
box and looks at it sometimes.
"Poor fellow!" she sighs. "How true
and faithful he was to me, and how little
I deserved it!" Mary Kyle Dallas in

OCEAN VOYAGE ON ICE.
A NOVEL PROPOSITION TO CROSS

Newton discovered that apples fall to
tho ground because thoy nro heavier
than the atmosphere, and Galileo was
tlie first to find out thnt icebergs float
because they are lighter than water.
Many grand remits are attributable to
tlio first of these divinations of ono of
these long impenetrable mysteries, and
mot astonishing consequences nro nliout
to attend the application of the second
fact of natural philosophy. It is rather
extraordinary, when you come to think
of it, thnt BOO years should have elapsed
between tho discovery that ice would
float and the practical determination to
float it. But man has a way of making
liis utilitarian purposes answer a crying
necessity, of doing things only when the
world seems to lo able no longer to do
without them. Ituilrond travel is little
moro than n hundred years old, yet we
wonder how mankind managed to do
without it for 0,000 or 7,000 years.
A NOVr.T, SOHEMK.
It is promised to construct n dozen
towing ve. els of maximum power, to
tie operated singly, in pairs, ill gronps,
or all at once, ns the circumstances may
determine. Theso will be constructed
with Bpecinl reference to their' uses nnd
will be in mnny ways unique. Those
will lie sent into thp polar regions to
gather tows of the greatest practicable
burden that may lio suited to trnflio nnd
transportation. As theso vast areas of
ice become detached by force of winds
and currents thoy have a natural ten
dency toward wanner latitudes, and
move with mteh rcadinoss that no great
force will lie required to give them reg
ular direction along a desired course.
Unassistcl theso monsteV bergs frequent
ly npproneh to within -lb degs. of the
equator,' and by expediting their sjjeed
they could be got to that point with per
fect heenrity nnd with little diminution
of their original bulk.
These tows, ranging in oxtent from
one to five acres and iu height above
water from fifty to three thundred feet,
will bo brought into direct competition
with tho English, French nnd German
lines of steamers plying between Now
York nnd European points during tho
summer Reason. On theso floating islands
of ice will bo every imagined' conven
ience for tho comfort and pleasure of
passengers and tho rates of passage will
be reduced to tho minimum of profit. In
this hitter particular tho projectors of
the scheme seem to us to havo mado a
serious mistake. The inducement to
travel by this means will bo sufficient
without making any sacrifico of passage
money. It is estimated that the trip
from Liverpool to Now York can bo
mado within two days of tho best run
ning timo of tho ocean greyhounds; but
this increase of timo will make no dif
ference to tho passengers, who will find
tho extra pleasure of tho voyage more
than n compensation.

There will bo no danger of any ono

blankets, etc., will enable each person to
control tho temperature to suit himself,

very grave consideration with many who
are deterred from ocean voyaging
through their horror of mal do mer, nnd
in cane of storm it ctm bo understood
what great advantages tho passengers
would cifjoy in comparative freedom
from disturbing commotion.
As only about the eighth part of the
entire bulk of one of these maswes of ico
shows aliovo the water this new stylo of
ocean sailer would be most substantial,
and it is even lielieved each island might
be used to tow a cargo back to England.
At any rate, the quality of ice brought
.into New York harbor each trip would
revolutionize the ioe trafUo in that city.
The prospect held out by the Chicago
man is delightful to contemplate, and
we cau imagine the joy of 800 perRons
sailing the ocean blue on an island
of ice, reclining upon hammocks of
crystal, laughing in the fnce of baffled

Ah! the ineffable bliss of freezing nnd

A man came into my study last weok

to tell him of the boarding houses where

gave him two places, and he at once

man who knew the English language
thoroughly, but who by sad fate had
nover heard of n baseball game sitting
down to read a skillfully written nccount
of a grent contest like that between the
TJuffnlos aud the New Yorks. To make
tho point plainer yet imagine this schol
arly gontlomnn as living 3,000 years

find some such paragraphs aB these:
"From tho perfectly preserved record
of their sports it may bo asserted yith
ont qualification that tho Americans
were tho most brutalized and blood
thirsty peoplo who ever laidclaiin to any
degreo of enlightenment. Tho aronic
sports of Rome were lesa debasing, nnd
showed far greater regard for human
life. Iu the priceless Ancient Print col

It is matter of fact in touo, yet tho old

"Here, too, is nndisputnblo proof that
there wero giants in those days. Thoy
wero so largo and savage that tho spec
tators sat in iron cages, and tho
young men who did combat with thorn,
Bomctimesj riding or possibly driving
wild bisons, braved death for victory.
Often nt theso so called games, tho con
testants in which sought to pitch each
other out of tho arena, the overwrought
men would often die while running (evi
dently pursuing or fleeing from tho
giants). Those who survived wcro often
sacrificed on a hot plate, while tho popu
lace, safe in their cages, would howl
with bloodthirsty rago of delight.
"Frequont allusions to 'soaking'
probably in boiling oil and to the con
testants being 'nailed' show that these
horrible diversions combined tho hazards
of n Roman arena with the iiondish
atrocities of tho inquisition." Buffalo
