mES & SKETCHES
HERBERT AND I.
We had quarreled, Herbert and I, or,
rather we were es ranged—and yet we
loved each other better than the life God
had given us.
The rest of the household had gone to
a concert, and I sat hy the library-fire,
lonely and despairing.
After all, it is a very bitter thing to
quarrel with the one we love best on all
the earth. 1 went to the window, and
hiding myself behind the heavy curtain,
I looked out on the busy streets. Ail out
side was dreary. The wind was jubilant,
the sky was gray, and the moonlight cold
er than all.
Within, all was tropical warmth and
luxury. Broad waves of crimson flooded
the library floor, from the bright authra
cite coal burning in the open grate. I
thought only I and the servants had been
left at home. What, then, was my sur- ;
prise to see Herbert enter?
He came so noiselessly in his slippered
feet, that I never heard him till the door
opened.
He looked pale and sad, and the broad
white brow, and dark, mournful eyes had ,
lost their usual cairn expression. I noticed
how weariiy he sank down in the great
chair, and how his fine mouth was com
pressed as though in pain; it set me to
thinking. 1 remembered how long arm
well he had loved me, and a tierce pang
tore my heart as I thought how well I
loved him
Was it not going to cost more than it
would come to —this lover's quarrel? I
longed to put my arms round his neck and
tell him so, but I was too proud. 1 knew
he was going away to morrow, and I knew
the fault of our estrangement was all mine.
Would I see him go and make no sign?
Could I ? Would 1 ?
He bowed his head upon his hands and
moaned. It thrilled me through and
through; but the ugly little devil tugging
at my heart kept saying, 'Don't humble !
yourself to any man,' while my guardian
angel, looking over my shoulder grew sad,
and said :
'Let not the sun go down upon your
wrath.'
Already ten suns had set since I had ar
rayed myself against Herbert. I was dis- I
traeted between the angel and the demon
In all his life Herbert Graham had loved
only me; at least he bad told me so, and
I believed him. You bad but to look at
his calm, truthful eyes to feel that u lie
had never sullied his pure soul; besides
Herbert was one of the humblest of God's
servants.
By and by he lighted the gas, and went
to writing letters; but the sadness of his
face did not abate one whit He wrote
rapidly for an hour and a half, during
which time I wrestled with my stormy
soul, listening alternately to the angel anil
the demon.
I have thought since, that night was the i
turning-point in my life; I thought of the i
future, which might be so bright, or so
dreary, just as I willed it. I thought how !
Herbert had built up all his hopes on the
future we were to share together.
Only a fortnight ago he had drawn me I
a Claude like picture of the dream he was
in the habit of dreaming, under the sun
shine, with eyes open wide.
'A home darling, where the orphan,
Herbert Graham, will be lonely no more.
A home at last where the tripfing of wo
man s feet, and the sound of woman's 1
voice, will sound like music! A home i
where a sweet wife will sit by the fireside j
that has been 60 lonely—a small woman, I
with flowing robes and suft falliTg hair; !
without ornament, only a narrow strip of
rich lace around the white throat and j
dainty wrists; a woman that will fill every
nook and corner ot the pastor's home and
heart.'
Ibis he had said, with his fine face •
aglow only a little time before, and now it '
was all over. The home wculd never be, !
and the woman who was to bring all his .
joy had been tried and found wanting !
I upon uiy knees, under shadow
ot the window curtains, and carried mv
desolate heart to God. The face of the i
angel was very near to me then, and 1
would not listen to the demon harping:
Do not yield; if you yield to him now
you will always have to; it's just as you
begin.' I
I wept and prayed alternately, and
thought ut the past.
Then, forgetting to pray, my spirit I
looked down through the amber and gold
of the years to where a youth and maiden
etood by a new m.Me grave and pledged
their taith; and later, how the same youth
and maiden stood betrothed lovers, with
my parents' sanction, and God's blessing- 1
full of glad young life; rich with immeas
urable hope! and now—l despairing and i
Herbert full ot anguish, but bowing meek
fy, because he was a servant of the Most !
High and knew this trial was God-ap
pomted. 1
Herbert finished the papers and once !
more sat down by the fire.
Last Sabbath he had preached his first
sermon as an ordained minister of God;
preached it with this sorrow I had caused
him tugging at his heart.
I thought of his loneliness; how he had
lived in his father's old home, with only a
uian-servant, for seven long years; arid
how now, being charged to fill his father's
p ace, he would return alone to the old
place, and the old loneliness.
The clock struck eleven. I knew they
would soon be home, my aunt and cousins;
so, listening only to the angel, I stole out
from my hiding place, and kneeling down
beside Herbert, laid my head on his knee, j
f had no words to offer, only my tears ■
and lie, that brave, strong soul, that never *
knew weakness himself, accepted uiy mute
prayer for forgirenegt.
He spoke only a few words regarding
it; for he knew the repentance must he
very deep that would bring uiy proud soul
to bis feet.
1 will not tell you what the error was,
enough that Herbert has forgiven me, and
my life is once again rich with imuieasura
ble hope, and each day's sun rises and sets
upon a home where discord never enters,
for the white winged angel of peacospread
her wings over it, when we came to dweli
here, and we have lived under their shadow
ever since
I lead ot an astrangement to day, that end
ed less happily than ours—death tonne,
and a life-lone: remorse to the other —he
cause the one in fault was too proud to
acknowledge she had erred.
Living with Herbert, I have come to
understand the lull meaning of the word
'proud.' It is not a 'spunky' holding out
against another; it is not being 'highst. ung,'
or 'independent.' It is being too proud
to do a wrong action, too proud to 'hold
on' to our opiuion, or to yield to our own
feelings, when we know that another is
right; too proud to have our own heart
condemn us secretly, to oppose the weak,
or break any law, human or divine. l f is
when one is estranged from one's lover,
being too proud to let our temper gain the
victory over our heart and judgment, so
that we cannot see clearly where the right
is.
At any rate, if one loves a min it is not
so very hard a thing to yield to his reason
able wishes; and then to yield is oftenest j
right, and always graceful and womanly.

THE WORLD'S GREAT REMEDY TOR
Scrofula and Scrofulous Diseases.
From Emery Edes, a trcll-Lnown merchant of Ox
ford, Maine.
" I have sold large quantities of vour SARSAP V
EII.LA, but uever yet one bottle which failed of the
desired effect and lull satisfaction to those who took
it. As fast as oar people try it, they agree there has
been no medicine like it before iu our community."
Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Ul
cers, Sores, and all Diseases of the Skin.
From lire. Itobt. Stratton, Bristol, England.
" I only do my duty to you and the public, when I
I add my testimony to that you publish of the me- ;
di iu.il virtues of your S VKSAPAKILLA. My daugh- I
ter, aged ten, had an afflicting humor in her ears,
eyes, and hair for years, which we were unable to
! cure until we tried your SARSAPARILLA. She has
been well for some months."
From Mrs. Jane E. Hire, a well-known and mnch
esteemed lady of Dennisville, Cape May Co., S. J.
" My daughter has suffered for a year past with a
scrofulous eruption, which was very troublesome, I
Nothing afforded auy relief uutil we tried your j
SARSAPARILLA, which soon completely cured her." |
From Charles P. Gage, F..if/., of the wi Uly known !
Gage, Murray >j" Co., manufacturers of enamelled j
papers in Xashua, .V. 11.
" I had for several years a very troublesome
humor in my face, which grew constantly worse
until it disfigured my features and became an intol
erable affliction. 1 tried almost every thing a man
could of both advice and medicine, but without any
RELIEF whatever, until I took your SARSAPARILI.A.
It immediately made my face worse, as you told me
it might for a time; but in a few weeks the new
skin began to form under the blotches, and con
tinued until my face is as smooth as any body's,
and lam without iuy symptoms of the disease that >
1 know of. I enjoy perfect health, aud without a
doubt owe it to your S A lis A PA RILLA."
Erysipelas —Geeeral Debility—Purify the
Blood.
From T)r. Itobt. Sawin, Houston St., S'ew York.
" DR. AYI-'.R. I seldom fail to remove Eruptions
aud Scrofulous Sores by the persevering use of your j
SARSAPARILI.A, and I have just now cured an attack
of Malignant Erysipelas with it. NO alterative we
possess equals the SAKS A PAIIILLA vou have sup
plied to tiie profession as well as to the people."
From J. E. Johnston, Esq., fFakeman, Ohio.
" For twelve years, I had the yellow Erysipelas
on my right arm, during wliieh time I tried all the
celebrated physicians I could reach, and took hun
dreds of dollars worth of medicines. The ulcers
were so bad that the cords became visible, and the
doctors decided that iny arm must be amputated. I
began taking your SARSAPARILI.A. Took two bot
tles, and some of your FILLS. Together they have
cured me. lam now as well and sound as any* body.
Being iu a public place, my case is known to every
body in this community, aud excites the wonder of
all."
From lion. Henry Monro, M. P. P., of Xewcastle,
C. IF, a leading member of the Canadian Parlia
ment. t
" I have used vour SARSAPARILI.A in my family,
for general debility, and for purifying the blood,
with very beneficial results, aud feel confidence in
commending it to the afflicted."
St. Anthony's Fire, Bose, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Sore Eyes.
From Ilarrey Sickltr, Esq., the able editor of the
'Jitukhaiinork Democrat, Pennsylvania.
" Our only child, about three years of age, was
attacked by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed a loathsome ami virulent
sore, which covered his face, and actually bliuded
his eyes lor some days. A skilful physician applied
nitrate of silver ami other remedies, without any
apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his
hands, lest with them he should tear open the fes
tering and corrupt wound which covered his whole
face. Having tried every thing else we had any
hope from, we began giving your SARSAPARILLA,
and applying the iodide ol potash lotion, as you
direct. The sore begau to heal when we had given
the first bottle, aud was well when we had finished
the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come
out, grew again, and ho is now as healthy and fair
as any other. The whole neighborhood predicted
that the child must die."
Syphilis and Mercurial Disease.
From 1 /r. Iliram Sloat, of St. Louis, Missouri.
"I find your SARSAPARILLA a more effectual
remedy lor* the secondary symptoms of Syphilis
and for syphilitic disease than auy other we possess. |
The profession are indebted to you lor sonic of the
best medicines we have."
From A. J. French, M. D., an eminent physician of i
Lav rence, Mass., who is a prominent member of |
the Legislature of Massachusetts.
"1)R. AY lilt. My dear .Sir; 1 have found your !
SARSAPARILLA an excellent remedy for Syphilis,
both of the primary and secondary type, and effec
tual in some cases that were too obstinate to yield
to other remedies. Ido not know what we can em
ploy with more certainty of success, where a power
ful alterative is required."
Mr. Chas. S. Fan Liar, of Sew Brunswick, X.J.,
had dreadful ulcers on his legs, caused by the abuse
of mercury, or mercurial disease, which grew more
anil more aggravated for years, in spite of every
remedy or treatment tiiat could be applied, until the
persevering use of AYKK'S SARSAPARILLA relieved
him. Few cases can be found more inveterate and I
distressing than this, and it took several dozen
bottles to cure him
Leucorrhcea, Whites, Female Weakness,
are generally produced by internal Scrofulous VI- j
cercSion, anil are very often cured by the alterative j
effect of this SARSAPARILI.A. Some cases require, |
however, in aid of the SARSAPARILLA, the skilful
application of local remedies.
From the well-known and widely-celebrated Dr.
Jacob Morrill, of Cincinnati.
" I have found your SARSAPARILLA an excellent ;
alterative in diseases of females. Many eases of |
Irregularity, Leucorrhcea, Internal Ulceration, and
local debility, arising from the scrofulous diathesis,
have yielded to it, and there are few that do not,
when' its effect is properly aided by local treatment."
A lady, unwilling to allow the publication of her j
name, writes .-
"My daughter and myself have been cured of a J
very debilitating Leucorrhma of long standing, by
two bottles of your SARSAPARILLA."
Hheuxnatism, Gout, Liver Complaint, Dys
pepsia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia,
when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly
cured by this EXT. SARSAPARILLA. I
AYER'S
CATHARTIC PILLS
possess so many advantages over the other
purgatives in the market, and their superior
virtues are so universally known, that we need
not do more than to assure the public their
quality is maintained equal to the best it ever
has been, and that they may be depended on
to do all that they have ever done.

Mr. .Joseph Swyers—Alteriny best respects
to you, this is to let you know that I have
been troubled with chills for the last fifteen
years, some of them so hard that I thought I
could not live over night. I was for days
and nights not able to go out. Last fall they
came on again as usual, and having about
hall a bottle of your liniment about the
house, I thought I would try it, and took
about 20 drops night and morning for some
time Imm the time I took it I have never
had one chill, and can say that I never had
used any medicine that gave so much satis
faction as your linimeut. Your ob't servant,
Adam Baird.
March 28th, 1864.
Mr. J. Swyers : My son had a sore neck
for three months back, for which I used your
'iniment, and it is a perfect cure. He also
had a sore leg for two years hack ; I got one

it soundly.
Yours, respectfully, Charles Mitchell.
FREEDOM FORGE, March 28, 1864.
Mr. Swyers : 1 recommend your liniment

1 had a pain in my side for about 15 vears,
and I doctored with doctors far and near,
hut they done me no good, when I heard of
your liniment, tried it. and I am thankful to
