drake, Yellow Pock with the Ict'.'.de3
of rctassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skill ullv com
bined, that the full alterative etfect of
each is assured, and while it is to mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions

The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun

of its ruefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly Uinj

we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever

A RACE FOR LIFE.
BY CHARLES DL'PLEY WARNER.
Early on tbe msruiag of tbe 23d oi
August, IS 1 7, a dje was feeding on
Basin mountain. Tbe night bad
been warm and showery, and the
morning opened in an undecided way
Tne wind was southerly ; it is what
the deer call a dog wind, having come
to know quite well the meaning of
southerly wind and a cloudy sky.
ice sole companion 01 tne doe was
her only child, a charming little fawn,
whose brown coat was just beginnicg
to be mottled with tbe beautiful spjts
wtiicn mates tnis young creature us
lovely as tbe gazelle. The back, its
father, bad been tbat night on a long
tramp acrossthe mjuntaia to Clear
Pour), and bad not yet returned ; be
went ostensibly to teed on tbe succu
lent lily -pads there, "lit feedeth
among the lilies until the day break
and tbe shadows flee away, and he
should be here by this hour : but be
cometh not," she said, leaping upan
the mountains skipping upon the
bills. Clear I'onJ wasto j fr off for
tbe young mother to go with her fawn,
for a night's pleasure. It was a fash
ionable watering place at tbis season
among the deer ; and tbe doe may
have remembered, not without unea
siness, tbe moonlight meetings of a
frivolous society there. Bat tbe buck
did not come ; be was very likely
sleeping under one cf the ledgee on
Tight Nippin. Was he alone ? "I
charge yon, by the roes and by tbe
hinds of tbe field, tbat ye stir nt nor
awake my love, till he pleases "
The doe was feeding, daintily
cropping tbe tender leaves of tbe
young Bboots, and turning from time
to time to regard ber offspring. Tbe
fawn bad taken its morning meal,
and now lay curled up on a bed of
moss, watching contentedly with bis
large, soft brown eyes, every move
ment of his mother. The great eyes
followed ber with an ailert entreaty,
and if tbe mother stepped a pace or
two further away in feeding, tLe fawn
made a half movement as if to rise
and follow ber. Y'ou see bhe was bis
sole dependence in all tbe world.
But the was quickly reassured when
she turned her gaze on him ; and if,
in alarm, he uttered a plaintive crv,
she bounded to him at once, and with
every demonstration of afftcticD,
licked Lis mottled (kin till it thene
again.
It was a pretty picture maternal
love on the one part, and happy trust
on tbe other. To? doe was a beaut v.
and wou.d have been so considered
anywhere ; as graceful and winning
a creature as tbe sun that day shone
on. Slender liaib. not two heavv

look at tbe sky and theoutliae of tbe
Twin Mountains, and bestowing ev
ery third glance upon the laughing

Tbe doe lifted ber head a link,
with a quick motion, and turned her
ear to the south. Had she beard
something? Probably it was only

The cry of the honnd was repeated
more distinct tbis time. The mother
instinctively bonnded away a fe
paces ; tne lawn started up, witn an
anxious bleat ; tbe doe turned ; she
came back ; she couldn't leave it. She
bent over it, and licked it, and seem
ea to say, "uome, my cnuu, we are
pursued: we mast go.? She walked
away towards tbe west, and the lit
tle thing skipped alter ; ber. it was
slow going for tbe sleader legs, over
tbo fallen logs and through tbe rasp
ing bushes. The doe bounded in ad
vance, and waited ; the fawn scram
bled after ber, slipping-and tumbling
along, very groggy yet on its legs,
and whining a good deal bscanse its
mother kept always moving away
from it. The fawn evidently did not
Lear tbe honnd ; the little innocent
would even have looked sweetly at
the dog and tried to nake friends
with it, if tbe brute bad been rashmg
upon him. By all the means at ber
command the doe urged her young
one on, bat it was slow work. She
might have been a mile- away while
tbey were making a few rods. When
ever tne Uwn caught up, he was
quite content to (risk about ; be want-
ek more breakfast, for one thing, and
bis mother wonldn t stand still : she
moved on continually, and his weak
leg3 were tangled in the roots of the
narrow deer path. i
febortiv came a sound that threw
the doe into a panic of terror a
short, sharp yelp, followed by a pro
longed howl, caught up and re-echoed
by other baymgs along . tbe mount

One bound bad cangbt ler trail, and
the whole pack responded to the
'view halloo." The danger was cer
tain now; it wa3 near. She could
not crawl on in this way ; tbe doirs
would soon be on them. She turned
again for flight : the fawn, scramb
ling after ber, tumbling over and
bleating pitaously. The baying, em
pbasized now by the yelp of certain-
tv, came nearer, rlisbt with tbe
lawn was impossible. The doe re
turned and stood by it,, head erect
and nostrils distended. She stood
perfectly still, but tremblinr. Per
haps she was thinking. Tbe fawn
took advantage of tbe situation, and
began to draw his luncheon ration.
Tne doe seemed to have made up her
mind. Sibc let him finish. Tbe fawn,
having taken all be wanted, lav down
contentedly, and the doe licked him
for a moment. Tben, with the swift
ness of a bird, she dashed away, and
