Catarrh
5S a Wood disease. Until tno poison la
expelled from tho system, there can
1)0 no cure for this loathsome and
dangerous malady. Therefore, the only
affective treatment Is a thorough cour90
of Ayer's Snrsapnrllla the best of nil
blood mirlflors. The sooner you begin
the better ; delay is dangerous.
" I was troubled with catarrh for over
twb years. I tried various remedies,
and was troated by a number of physi
cians, hut received no benefit until I
began to tako Ayer's Sarsaparllla. A
few bottles of this medloino cured mo of
this troublesome complaint and com-
iiletely restored my health." Jesse M.
Soggs, Ilolman's Mills, N. C.
" When, Ayer's Sarsaparllla was rec
ommended to me for catarrh, I was In
clined to doubt its efflcnoy. Having
tried so many remedloa, with little ben
efit, I had no faith that anything would
enro me. I became emaciated from loss
of nppotlto and Impaired digestion, I
had nearly lost tho sense of smell, and
my system was badly deranged. I was
about discouraged, when a friend urged
rue to try Ayer's Sarsaparllla, and re
ferred me to persons whom It had cured
of catarrh. After talcing half a dozen
bottles of this medlduo, I am convinced
that the only sure way of treating this
olwtlnate disease is through tho blood."

JOIINWALTON'SKEVENGE
"Ho off from here, you little beggar!"
Haiti Oscar Ronalds 'iinporiously.
Tho speaker was a well drersueil boy of
14, autt tha words were addressed to a
boy of about his own age nntl his sister
of 8. Tho contrast between their out
ward appenrnnce was striking. Oscar
was of light complexion, and looked like
a petted child of tjie nrlstocrncy. He
held a club in his hand, which, it might
bo judged from his scowling face, he
would not be Unwilling to use.
Johii, Walton, who confronted him
without fear, was a stouter boy than
Oscar. His complexion .was dark, his
hair, black as the raven's wing, hung
over his forehead. His clothing was
coarse and well worn, his pant were
tucked up nearly to his kneos, and shoes
imd stockings were luxuries which ho
dispensed. His little sister, terrified by
Oscar's rude manner, clung to her brother
in allnght.
"Don't be scared of him, Lizzie." said
.Tolm. "Ho won't dare to touch us."
"Won't I, though?" said Oscar, clutch
inghis stick tighter.
"Not if you know what is best for
yourself," said John, looking fixedly at
liinu
'.You nave no business here, you
beggar, said Oscar furiously.
"I am no beggar," said tho barefoot
boy proudly.
"This is my father's land.' Can you
deny tliatr demanded Oscar.
"I know it is, and I suppose it will.be
yours some day.
"Then, why have you intruded here?"
"I did not suppose it would do any
harm to pick a few berries, which would
otherwise decay on the vines. '
"Then you know it now. I don't care
for tho berries, but I don't want any
beggnr s brats on wyfather 8 miicer
"Stop there, young master," said John
firmly. "You called me a beggar and I
did not care much, but if you call my
mother by that name you II be sorry."
"I?" fcald Oscar contemptuously. "What
will you do?"
"I ll beat you with that stick you hold
in your hand."
"Then I do call her a beggar," said
Oscar furiously. "What are you going
to do nbout itr
"You'll see."
John Walton let his sister's hand' fall,
and springing upon Oscar wrenched the
stick from his hand, laid it over his
baok with sharp emphasis three times,
and then flung it into the pool hard by,
Leaving his young enemy prostrate he
took his terrified sister by the bund and
saying, "Well go home now, Lizzie,'
walked qdietly away.
Oscar picked liimself up, mortified and
furious. Ho would have pursued John
and wreaked instant vengeance upon
him if he had dared, but in the hands of
the young savuge, as he mentally char
acterized him, he had felt his own utter
inability to cope with him, and resolved
that vengeance should come in another
shape.
"My father should turn tho beggars
out of house and home, he muttered
"I wish they might starve."
Tho father of Oscar Ronalds was the
proprietor of a handsome house and
largo landed estate, including several
tenements which he rented out. In the
poorest of these lived John Walton and
his mother. They lived poorly enough!
bow it would be bard to tell, but nt
events they lived and never sought
help.
When Johu told the story of his cn
counter to his mother shewasdisturlied
fearing that trouble might come of it,
So, indeed, it did.
The next morning Squire Ronalds,
with his stiff, erect figure, was seen ap
proaching the widow a cottage.
Mrs. Walton opened the door.
"Won't you ooiue in, Squire Ronalds?1
she said nervously.
"No, madam, I have but a word to
say, and that is eoou saiu. Are you
aware that your Iwy grossly insulted my
son Oscar yesterday?"
"He told me tlmt Osear calleti me
names, and he knocked him down. He
has a nasty temper."
"Your on is it ruffian, ma'am."
"Not so bad as that. He is a good
boy to me. Squire Ronalds.
"It is a pity ho cannot treat others
with proper respect."
"Do you think be was, wholly
blame?"
"Owtnitily he was. My boh caught
him tiuspasiiiig ou my land, and very
properly ordered him off. I don't care
to artroe the matter. If he will apoli
gize to Oscar I will let H pass. Other
wise, as your month'- up today, I shall
require yon to leave this tenement."
Johu, who liad been inside and heard
what had been said, came forward loot
tag resolute and self sustained.
"I sliall not apologize to MasUr Oscar,
lr,n lve said. "'It is he who should apol
oAze to me."
"Apologize to you! That would look

woll, would it not?" said the uquiro scorn
fully. "It would bo right," said John firmly.
"Yon aro an impudent young rascal."
"Mother," said John quietly, "thero is
no use listening further. I shall not
apologize, and am ready to take the con
sequences. Don t be nlanned. I n take
caroor you.
"You must loave this house to-morrow,"
roared Squire Ronalds, in a very
undignified rago, stamping his gold head
ed cano npon the ground.
"Very well," said John. "Good day, 1
sir," and closed the door, leaving the
Bquire under a vague impression that he
had got tho worst of the encounter.
"What shall we do, John?" said Mrs.
Walton dismally.
TU tell you, mother," said John.
Thero is nothing for 1110 to do here.
We'll go to Brandon, where thero' are
woolen mills. Then I can get a chance
to work, and I'll rise, nover fear. It is
best for us to go."
The next day Mr. Ronalds' tenement
was empty, and no one know whero the
family had gone. Oscarexulted in what
he regarded as his triumph.
Twenty years pu,sod. To the bare
footed 1y they brought wonderful
changes. At 34 he found himself super
intendent of the mill where ho had en
tered as a poor operative, earning a sala
ry of $3,000 a year. He had bnilt a
handsome' houso, over which ilia mother
presided with matronly dignity. His
sister Lizzie was the wife of a young
physician in successful practice in the
same town.
One winter evening they were all
seated in a luxuriously furnished room,
before a glowing fire. His sister had
come to siiend the afternoon, but wan
prevented by the violent storm from re
turning to her own home.
What a storm it is!" she exclaimed,
shuddering. "I pity those who are out
111 it."
"Yes," said her brother, "it is the most
violent storm of the year. The snow
must lw two feet deep at least. But we
need not feel troubled. It is summer in
doors." "Who would have thought, Johu, we
should come to live 111 such comfort?
said his mother. "Twenty years ago we
were lioorly off."
"I well remember it. It was a lncky
thing we came to Brandon."
"bo it lias turned out. lint 1 was
alarmed when you quarreled with young
Oscar Ronalds.
"I have forgiven him. The liann he
intended has only done us good."
"Havo you beard anything of him
lately?"
Kot lately. His father died ten years
since, and I am told Oscnr is very ex
travagant, that is all. .
The storm increased in violence, shak
ing the house, firm and strong as it was,
All at once the door bell rang sharply.
Ill go myself," said John. "The
sorvant may not be able to close the door
again."
He owned the .front door, and a sharp
cutting wind entered with a flurry of
snow.
Will you give me shelter?" said a
faiut voice.
It was a man who spoke, still young,
He stepped in quite exhausted. John
Walton closed the door.
"You have had a hard struggle with
the storm, have you not? he Baid.
"I have indeed. I am chilled to the
bone."
Como in to the fire," and John threw
open the door of the sitting room.
He perceived that the stranger had
no overcoat and appeared thoroughly
chilled. Warm drinks were ordered and
in half an hour he was more comfort
able. He looked thin and haggard, and
his face bore the impress of dissipation.
He had more than once looked earnest
ly at John Walton. Finally he said
abruptly:
Will you tell mo your name? Your
face looks familiar."
"My name is John Walton."
"What?" said the other with a start,
"Did yon live when a Imiv in the town of
M ?"
'Yes, but I don't rememlier you."
'I am Oscar Ronalds," said the other
in a low voice.
"Is it possible?" exclaimed the throe.
and they involuntarily glanced at thaill
clad stranger.
'I see what vou are thinkimr of. I
don't look much like the boy you use?!
to know. I have lieeu wild and extrav
agant, and lost or squandered all my
property. I have gone down hill you
have goue up.
"I am sorry for your misfortune," said
Johu. "If I can lie of service to yon 1
will."
"I came here hoping to get the post of
clerk, which I understood was vacant,
If I had known you were here I wonld
not have come."
"And why?"
"Becanso yon cannot havo forgotten
my ill treatment of you.
"It is not forgotten but quite for
iriven." said John Walton kindly. "0n-
oonfccionsly you did me a service. Tlie
clerkship you seek is uiino to bestow,
You sliall have it, and I will gnarantee
your good condnct. Tlie satary will be
small, only $800."
"It will be a fin tuno to me who am
penniless. God blew yon, John Walton,
for your generosity. You shall not find
your confidence ill bestowed."
I have no more to tell, except then and
theiobeguu a new and better life for
Oscar, who was after a while promoted,
and now lias a modest and cheerful home
of liist own witli a good wife to add to
his happiness. And this was John Wal
ton's revenge, a-nobls aud Christian re
vonge, the only one worth taking for an
injury. Horatio Alger, Jr., in Yankee

She stood at the open window
Watching the busy street.
Homesick and sad and lonely.
At the close ot the summer day,
I stood at my open window
On tlie other aide of the way.
And t saw the little maiden,
Bo near me and yet so far;
In her innocent, childish beauty,
As pure as the nngels are.
Ami a smile of radiant beauty,
As she saw me, flashed over her face
Like a rny of golden sunshine
That lights up tome darkened place.
Kb more was I sad and lonely,
And goue where the shadows gray.
For that smile of friendly greeting
Had banished the gloom away.
Oh, bonnlo liltle maiden,
If wish of mine could bring
Earth 'e choicest, rlcheet blessings
To the., on fortune's wing,
How free from care or sorrow
Thy happy life would be,
My neighbor's little daughter.
Tlie lassie who entiled at me.

Statues In London
Near ono of tho entrances of tho most
beautiful park in London there are four
eyesores that were once, no doubt, pretty
groups of statuary. It is years sinco I
noticed them first, but oven then they
were hardly recognizable ns ever having
lieen ornamental. And thero thoy stand
yet, blotched, battered, scabbed scarce
crows, such as one could not match in
any town in tho world. Half tho Btatuoa
in London look like the victims of ery
sipelas. In some tho disease is more ad
vanced than in others. Queen Anne's
was the most distressing case. Tlie fig'
tire of that sovereign Uuly in St. Paul's
churchyard wis minus its noso.when I
saw it first, mid remained in that stato
for about ten years. And goodness
knows, a nose is a useful member in
England, in winter espceiallv. Max

The Passion for Knowing.

scholars, but better and nobler men and

A Very Good Doa; Story.
Tho following dog story is absolutely
true, the occurrence having como under
the observation of the physician at Old
Orchard and related to the attorney npon
honor: An Intelligent dog was afllicW
by fleas. They clouded his existence, if
we may believe appearances, since four-
fifths of the time tho intelligent dog was
tied up in a double bow knot fighting
the smaller and less intelligent but more
nimble flea. He had chewed tho hair
from his sides, and his eye was lack
luster. Tho mangy canino decided to
take a bath in tho waves of the ocean,
and in doing so discovered that as the
sea water heightened npon his legR and
sides and back the fleas fled before it as
ever the wicked flee.
Soon after the dog was seen backbig
out into water, a smile growing over his
countenance as an idea took possession
of him. He was next seen with a huge
wad of cotton In his mouth. With this
lifted aloft he backed, out. The fleas
crawled higher as the sea water rose
about him. They occupied his back and
then his head, made uncomfortable ns
they were by tho salt water. Then at
last, as the dog's head sank very slowly
beneath the waves, the multitude va
cated it, jumping to the wad of cotton
that was floating just at the dog s nose.
The fleas floated away forever on the
fickle wad of cotton, "while" the dog
swam ashore, to be forever embalmed in
history by the story of the doctor and
the lawyer and tho newspaper. Christ

Exorcise Jit Heart Disease.
The fact is well known that Ocrtel,
tho distinguished German writer, has
warmly advocated for certain forms
of functional heart trouble not rest,
but active exercise, such as mountain
climbing. In pursing this practice, how
ever, the ntmost care is found necessary,
and tho distance to be covered is of
course regulated for each patient; and
as its object is to strengthen the heart
muscle aud promote the circulation, and
aa only healthy arteries can stand the
strain, such treatment is of course con
tra-indicated in atheroma.
Formerly the detection by physical
diagnosis of a heart murmur was re
carded as a grave fact, an adverse con
clusion being at once arrived at without
sufficiently considering the other signs
and symptoms. Such cases, U is found
often do well with exercise und outdoor
life. Again, in fatty degeneration, the
heart in a young person can stand a
moderate amount of exercise and tin
donbtedly be strengthened, but. it is in
fatty infiltration or fatty overgrowth
that the judicious use of eserciso doe
great good the general diet in such
case to be regulated, aud tho general
obesity which usually exists to be re
moved, by a depleting diet. Some Ger
man physicians in their city practice
recommend stair climbing when mount
