True and yet like most truisms it has Its ex

MIshler's Herb Bitters during the twenty
flvc yeara it lias been before the people.
Grewing from small beginnings as simply a
local remedy, it has steadily worked its way
le the lorcmest rank anions the standard
medical preparations of the age ; yet nowhere
Is it mere highly regarded than right here at

woman or child In Lancaster county, who, at
some time or ether, has net used it, and the
testimony of nil Is given in its praise. The
farmer, the mechanic, laboring men and wo
men, the merchant, the clergyman, the banker,
the lawyer; people In every walk and condi
tion et life are nil alike familiar with its
merits.
The Hen. Thaddeus Stevens, member et
Cengresa from this district, suffering from an
affection of the Kidneys, could find relief in
nothing else. In a letter te a trlcnd (new in
our possession) he writes: "MISHLER'S
HERB IUTTJSIIS is the most wonderful com
bination of medicinal herbs lever saie."
The Hen. A. L. Hayes, Law .fudge et the
Courts of Lancaster county, writes : " I liave
used it myself aud in my family and am satis
fied that it reputation it net unmerited.'"

FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1881.
Te Let Kipple Grange.
Mr. Pixley was a real estate agent. Mr.
Pixley had had a goodly number of houses
en his list in his time, but naver one se
persistently, unalterably, perseveringly en
his list as Kipple Grange. Year after year
it has figured en his books as a "desirable
country residence, te be hail en reasona
ble terms," year after year it still hung
hopelessly en his hands.
Ner was Mr. Pixley the only real estate
agent who had wrestled, se te speak, with
Kipple Grange. Other land brokers and
rent-collectors had their " try " at it,
with equally unsatisfactory results. It
had been advertised iu newspapers and
pasted up en bulletin beards, and still it
icmaiued " Kipple Grange Te Let."
" Hang the old place !" said Mr. Pix
ley, vehemently scratching his bald head.
"I wish it would burn down, or blew
away, or something ! It's a disgrace te a
business man te keep such an eye-sere en
his list. I've a great mind te put old
Miss Brijrgs into it, te keep it in order
until I can get a better tenant. She
wants a place cheap. I'll let Iter have Kip
ple Grange for nothing."
Se when Miss Briggs came tiptoeing
into the real estate office a faded, melan
choly little old maid, leading her terrier terrior
deg by its string, aud wearing a grccu
veil te neutralize the spring winds
Mr. Pixley told her that Kipple Grange
should be hers, for the present, at least.
" You'll probably Hud it lonely," said
he.
" I dote en the country," said Miss
Briggs.
" And very much out of repair," he
added.
" I don't doubt but that it will de for
me," said the little old spinster, her faded
eyes brightening.
" Probably, also, there's a ghost about
the premises," jocesaly uttered the
agent.
Miss Briggs shook her head with a sad
smile. " It's live people I am afraid of,"
said she, " net dead ones."
" Well," s.iid Mr. Pixley, " Kipple
Grange shall be yours this quarter, if you
will fix up the garden a little, uul give
the place a liecd-ia sort of leek. Of course
it will be for sale, aud I shall expect you
te de your best for our interests."
Aud Miss Brig-rs ceurtesicd, aud said,
" Yes, she would," and withdrew, greatly
elated in spirit.
Upen the same day, the 23th of April,
Mr. Bcggcrall. the real estate agent of
Dorchester, let Kipple Grange te old Mr.
Hyde, who was a naturalist, and a botan
ist, and an entomologist, te say nothing
of half a dozen ether istx, and who wanted
a quiet country home, with weeds aud
meadows iu its vicinity, wherein te prose
cute his beloved sciences. And Macphcr Macphcr
sen & Ce.. of Leng Island, made a bargain
with the Kcvercnd Mr. Bcllairs, an invalid
clergyman, who was iu search of ceuutry
air and complete repose. Mrs. Bcllairs
was a pattern housekeeper, and gloried in
the presiect of grass bleaching, new laid
eggs, wild .raspberries and plenty of
plumbs and apricots for preserving pur
poses. And strangely enough, it occurred te
none of the three real estate agents te let
the ether two knew of his action.
"There is never any demand for Kipple
Grange," said Masphcrsen & Ce., indiffer
ently. " I'll write te Pixley and old Mac when
I get time," said Beggarall.
"There's no hurry about Kipple
Grange," thought Pixley. "If Miss Briggs
keeps it from tumbling te pieces, she will
de very well."
Meanwhile Mrs. Kipple herself, the
plump widow whose grandfather en the
husband's side had bequeathed her this
impracticable piece of property, began te
think of .running down te leek at it her
self, "They tell inc there's no such
thing as letting it," said she. "I've a
mind te go down and sce for myself.
One really pines for the ceuutry, new,
that they are selling lilac blossoms
and pansics iu the streets ; and I'm quite
sure that change of air would de me geed.
I'll take Dorcas, my maid, aud a few cans
of peaches and sardines, aud we'll picnic
at Kipple Grange, just for the fun of the
thing."
"It never rains but what it pours,"
saith the ancient proverb ; se upon this
windy, blooming April day, when the sun
ny meadow slopes were purpled all ever
with wild violets, and the yellow narcissus
was shaking its golden tassels ever the
neglected borders of Kipple Grange, the
old brickheusc, which had steed empty
for six geed years at least, became all of a
sudden alive.
It was an ancient, mildewed structure
en the edge of a weed, an old red heuse
whose front garden tangled ever with rose
briers, and grown with the fantastic trunks
of messy pear trees, and apples that leaned
almost le the ground, sloped down te the
bank of a merry little rivulet. Here, the
tiger-lilies lifted their scarlet turbans iu
the July sunshine, and the clumps of vel
vety sweet Williams blossomed first and
sweetest. Great cream-hearted roses
swung against the tumble down stone wall,
and leve-in-a mist, Londen pride and all
these rare old fashioned flowers of our an
cestors ran riot, sprawling across the grass
grown paths, and p.i eking themselves into
the angles of the fence, where the honey
suckles trailed, aud the scarlet poppies
looked like drops of bleed. The old gar
den of Kipple Grange was like a herticul
tural show gene mad in midsummer. And
even new it was sweet with tufts of crocus,
blue velvet iris aud daffodils, while at the
rear rose up the silent hemlock weed, still
aud scented and emerald green in the twi
light. Miss Briggs, with her terrier deg, her
baud boxes, and her peer little hair trunks
studded with brass nails had get there
early. She had opened the windows te let
iu the yellow glow of the April sunset,
kindled a lire with straight sticks en the
deep tiled hearth, and was sitting en a
starch-bes turned upside down, drinking
cold tea, and feeding her deg with ecca
sienal scraps of canned beef and baker s
bread.
" It seems rather lonely here," said the
little old spinster te hcrself, "and the
rooms are large and dreary-looking ; but
I dare say I can hire a little furniture iu
the village, and the garden is really
superb. I never saw such tulip roots in
my life. Aud the little brook twinkling
at the feet of the wall is an idyl in itself."
Miss Briggs, who had a geed deal of
poetry in her starved soul, sat down
the can and reached ever te leek out
of the window at the golden, western
sky..
" Se quiet, tee I " said she, " se se
cluded I"
But, te her amazement, even as she
looked, she perceived the figure of a stout
old gcntlemau, bald and spectacled and
carrying an immense flat traveling case
under his arm, who was picking his way
among the rose -briers that lay prone across
the path, stepping here and there te ex
amine the growth of silver green house
leeks en the garden wall.
Miss Briggs, who was somewhat near
that this interloper was a tramp. She
hurled the tin can recklessly down into the
budding currant bushes.
" Ge away !" she cried.
Mr. Hyde peered upward, with one
hand back of his ear. " Eh ?" said he.
" Or I'll set the deg en yeb," squeaked
Miss Briggs, encouraged by the shrill bark
eitne terrier.
"Weman," said
the
scientist,
'who
are veu
i"
" I'll let you knew," said Miss Briggs,
waxing mere and mere excited in her in
dignatien. " Hew dare
you trespass en
my premises ?"
" Hew dare you trespass en mine .?" re
torted the old gentleman, curtly.
" He's a madman," thought Miss
Briggs, aud she remembered, with a thrill
of terror, that there was no key te the big
front deer, and the belt was rusted into
two pieces.
At the same moment the sound of
whooping voices was heard through the
wide, echoing halls, and three chubby lajls
rushed hilariously in, tumbling ever one
another as they came.
" Hurrah !" they shouted ; " hurrah !
Ain't this a jelly old cavern of a house !
My ! here's a fire ! aud here's an old wo
man I"
Miss Briggs, who had drawn her head iu
from the window, stared at the three
cherry-cheeked invaders, who returned her
gaze with interest.
" Beys " said she, severely, "what are
you doing here 1 "
""Why," said Master Bruce Belliirs,
stat eleven, " it'i our house. And pa and
ma are helping unpack the cart at the
south deer. Aud I've get a red bird, and
Johnny's jet a. breed of Bralima chickens
in a basket, and Pierre has a monkey."
"But, boys," said Miss Briggs, with
a little hysterical gaap, " this is my
house."
" Ne, it ain't," said the thrce Masters
Bcllairs iu chorus, "it's ours. We've
rented it for a year, and pa and ma are
unpacking down stairs."
"Is that your pa?" said Miss Briggs,
with a sudden inspiration, as she pointed
te the old gentleman in the garden who
steed stock-still, like the Egyptian obe
lisk. " Ne, indeed," said Pierre, contemptu
ously. " Nothing of the sort," s.iid Johnny.
" Our pa ain't such a guy as that chuck
led liruce.
' I think I must be asleep aud dream
ing," said Miss Briggs, as the deer opened
and a stout blooming matron entered upon
the scene, with a kerosene lamp in ene
hand aud a basket of carefully picked
china in the ether, while from her iiuger
depended a bird cage.
My geed woman," said the Rev. Mrs.
Bcllairs, " I suppose you have come here
te sec about a situation. If you can bring
geed reference as te character "
"Yeu are entirely mistaken madam,"
said Miss Briggs, with energy, " I am
here because "
But at that moment, Mrs. Kipple her
self, with Dorcas, her maid, entered the
room. She was a tall, handsome woman,
dressed in elegant mourning, and she used
an eye-glass as she talked, and somehow
she seemed te take up a geed deal mere
room than anybody else. Mrs. Bcllairs
sctdetfn the kctescne lamp ami the bird
cajjc, Miss Briggs' terrier steppsd barking
and the three boys instinctively retired
behind the starch box.
" Who' are you all ?" said Mrs. Kipple,
surveying the sceue through her eye-glass.
" Ami hew came you te be here ?''
" I have taken this heuse," said Miss
Briggs, with dignity.
" Se have we," said Mrs. Bellairs.
" Se have I," declared the bald-headed
old gentleman, who had by tfiis time made
his way up into the ruby light of Mrs.
Briggs' fire, and steed there cleii ugly hug
ging his flat traveling case.
" Dear me !" said Mrs. Kipple ; " this
is very singular. Aud I have come
here because the house wasn't rented at
all."
And then ensued a general chorus of
explanations, laughter aud deprecation
whesa general effect was heightened
by a single combat between Master
Pierre Bcllairs' monkey and Miss Briggs'
terrier.
"What are we te de?" said Miss
Briggs, plaintively looking at the hair
trunks studded with brass nails.
"De?" said Mrs. Kipple, briskly
" why, there is but one thing te de that I
sec : tue house is uig enough ler us ami
half a dozen families te beet. Let us all
live here together."
" lam sure I have no objections at all,"
said Mrs. Bcllairs.
" Neither have I," said the old gentle
man, setting down his flat traveling case
with a sigh of relief.
" 'Birds in their little nests agree,' "
quoted the Reverend Mr. Bcllairs, who
had by thi3 time entered upon the scene,
with ene joint of a bedstead balanced
across his shoulder. And it really seems
te me as if we might de the same thing."
Se Kipple Grange was let, in geed earn
est. Mrs. Kipple aud Dorcas established
themselvcs in two sunny rooms looking te
the south, where the apple boughs brushed
against the lozenge shaped panes of the
eascment. The Bcllairs family settled
down all ever the rest of the fleer, iu a
miscellaneous, cosmopolitan sort of way,
mixing up birds, old china, sermon paper,
patch-work and theology iu a manner
which amazed the precise soul of gentle
Miss BriggK. The scientific man perched
himself en the top fleer, where he could
have a geed outlook with his telescope,
and set up his specimens without let or
hindrance. And Miss Briggs herself made
a home-Iiko little home en the second
story, and devoted her whole energy and
net without some degree of success te
keeping the peace between Chice, the
monkey, and Nip, the tcrrhr.
Mrs. Kipple, however, get tired of rural
felicity, and returned te the city iu the
autumn.
Mr. Beliairs received a call te a Dcla
ware parish, where peaches where thicker
than blackberries, and the climate was
soft as that of Italy, aud he accepted it
promptly.
"What shall we de new?" Eaid Mis
Briggs, who was disposed te take a
timorous view of things.
Mr. Hyde pushed his spectacles en te
the top of his head. "Don't you like the
house?" said he.
Yes," Miss Briggs admitted, "I like
the house."
"And don't you consider the situation
salubrious?"
"Certainly," said Miss Brigas.
"Then," said Mr. Hyde, looking at the
edge of his geological hammer, "why
don't youBtep here?"
"What, all alone by myself?" said Miss
Briggs.
"Ne," said the scientific gentleman ;
"with me I"
"Goedgracious I" cried Miss Briggs.
"Webothiike this place," said Mr.
Hyde, "we like the situation, and we like
each ether. Why shouldn't we settle
down here for life ?"
" But I never have thought of such a
thing," said Miss Briggs, in trepidation.
"Think of it new," said Mr. Hyde, in
accents of scientific persuasion, as he laid
down his hammer and took her black -mittcned
hand tenderly in his.
And Mr. Beliairs married them before
" S.J'i

Drepping1 Inte Poetry.
Brooklyn Eagle.
"If you please, sir," said the young
lady timidly, as the exchange editor band
ed her a chair, " I have composed a few
verses, or partially composed them, and I
thought you mizht hele me finish them
and then print them. Ma says they are
real nice, as far as they go, and pa takes
the Eagle every day."
She was a handsome creature, with
beautiful blue eyes and a crowning glory
as yellow as golden roses. Thcre was an
expectant leek en her face, a hopefulness
that appeared te the holiest emotions, and
the exchange editor made up bis mind net
te crush the longing of that pure heart if
he never struck another lick.
" May I show you the pctetry?" con
tinued the ripe, red mouth. " Yeu will
see that I couldn't get the last lines of the
verses, aud if yen would be se kind as te
help me ''
" Help her ! Though he had never even
read a line of poetry the exchange editor
felt the spirit of the divine art flood his
soul as he yielded te the bewildering
music. Help her ! Well, he should
smile.
" The first verse runs like this, she
went en, taking courage from his eyes :
" Hew softly sweet the autumn air
rue uymg woodland nils.
And nature turns from resttul care
" Te anti-bilious pills I" added the ex
change editor, with a jerk. "Just the
thing. It rhymes, anil it's se. Yeu take
anybody new. All the people you meet
are "
"I suppose you knew best," inter
rupted the young girl. "I hadn't
thought of it in that way, but you' have a
better idea of such things. New, the
second verse is mero like this :
"'The dove-eyed kin upon the moor
Boek tender, muck and sad.
While Irem the valley comes the rear"'
" Of the matchless liver pad !" reared
the exchange editor "Thcre you get it.
That finishes the second se as te match
the first. It combines the fashions with
poetry, and carries the idea riirht home te
the fireside. If I only had your ability in
starting a verse with my genius in wind
ing it up, I'd quit the shears and open up
in the poetry business te-morrow."
"Think se?" asked the young lady.
"It don't strike me as keeping up the
theme."
"Yeu don't want te. Yeu want te
break the theme here and there. The
reader likes it better. Oh, yes. If you
keep up the theme it gets monotonous."
"Perhaps that's se," rejoined the beau
ty, brightening up. "I don't think of that.
New I'll try the third verse :
'Hen- xadly droops the dying day,
As tii-ht springs fieni the glen,
Aud meaning twilight seems te say "
