HEMOHY'S . TEEASTJBES.
Only a flower, given to me
Co a summer day moat fair
A rose, whose grace and perfume rare
'jime cannot take from me.
Only a wfrsper, borne to me
On the dewy Breath of eve
A whisper, low, and yet, believe,
'Twill long remembered be. f
Only the pressure of a hand,
The glance of a wistful eje.l
A bie.idei spirit hovering nigh,
So sweet to understand.
Only a kiss, not muoh, know.
For those who bad been friends ;
My fears and doubts it ends
Sight fal'.ctb ; let as go.
THE VELVET HAT.
It was a hiight October evening, and a
gay buating party were gathered around the
lu.-pitalle board of the Marquis de Marso
vil'e. The tab! groaned beneath the good
cheer, o welcome to the hungry guests,
wlioS Kng ride in the clear, keen air had
tlnrpcaed thoir appetites. But at length
the jieaerous meal was over ; when, as they
aroi-i from the table, the Count Enguerran
ill .S-Tges stej-pei to the diniug-rooni door,
and uiuie a bit-n to a servant wearing his
livery.
"Huphnel," said he, in a low voice, "the
h-irses uL four o'clock, and see that you do
it it sleeji too lute.
"What inlait:oua treason !" cried the
luai jiiis, w ho had surprised the secret order.
'GjiitL-wen 1 I dnounce you !"
"il -iih !" said Enguerran to his host,
with a confuted smile, taking his arm.
'"Not another word, if you would grieve
we.
''My patience !" cried the warquis.quick
ly, '"but you irrieve me, Enguerran. Why
gj to morrow? Novt, cuine ! countermand
that disagreeable order, and pass it off as a
j-'Le-"'
'IJut I must go, Elie. I have promis-
el-"
'"Whom?"' demanded the marquis, with
a merry expression of curiosity.
"My wile."
The fife of the marquis expressed a sur-
ri -'. dulcful and profound that it called
a strilj to the lip of Eiguerran.
Z 'ii.J.s:" exelalmcl tne marquis, glan
cine; "is friends, who had lighted their
cigar.-, already talked of going to bed at
nine o'clock, like true huntsmen as they
were. "I must go and give a glance at the
cicampnient, which I have had prepared
li r those brave boys, and if you will await
ine a moment in your chamber, which is
licit to mine "
"Whling," replied Enguerran, "and 1
will try to make you appreciate my excuse."
"It umt be cood." said the marquis, al
bum sadly ; then he added to himclf as he J
hit the room : "To his wife ! He said so."
A lu'f hour after the two friends were
s -a:e J before a cheerful fire, in luxurious
ariu chairs.wrapped in their dressing-gowns,
their feet in slippers, and smoking cigars
that the King of Spain might have envied.
"Yes, to my wife." the Count de Sorges
ci!ui;y repeated, for the third time, to the
iiicrcddlous nueation of the marquis.
'Termit me to say to you," remarked the
L:ter, an elegaut young man, but, like a
k.-r?:it many of that age. a little BthcUticul
ujk n the fu'i'ject of conjugal faith, "per
i a: me to say that you almost led me to
f .q ii e "
Wei!, what ?"
"My laith ! are you in love with your
wile? Th:ie, it is out, and I will not recall
it."
"1 am, indeed," said Enguerran, gravely.
' Let me a-k, my dear Elie, what is there
trance in ihat ?"'
"I do not know madame, the Countess de
orge. my dear Enguerran," replied Mar
ovi!!e, with supreme politeness.
"I should be most happy to present you
to her, my dear friend."
"Thank you, Knguerran. I hope vou
will very soon. But it seems to me that she
U very dear to you, considering that you
Lave been married a year."
"Two years, if you please."
"Two years ! And you are still '
. In love with madame? Yes, my friend,
I airoe with you."'
"The duoe !" cried the marquis. "Vou
a!k as if it were the most natural thing in
the world. If we lived in the time of fa
tiv, 1 should believe that this wonderful
woipnn possessed some talisman."
"May be she does," said de Sorges, with
a UiVsteriuus air.
'Sood !"' said de Marsoville, puffing his
cifcur.
"If you are not sleepy, Elie, I can show
y hi hat an influence an apparently insig-
liiacaiit and trifling object may have upon
a man's whole life."
"What, for instance?"
"A velvet hat."
"A what?" cried the' marquis, who tho't
he must be dreaming.
' A velvet hat."
"Oh! zounds! No indeed, I have no
Wire for sleep," cried the marquis. "Come
. this storv Veins well, but where in the
world is the analogy?" -
"Patience !" said M. de Sorges, "you
shall h.ar. It is two years this winder sinoe
I. one morning, accompanied my cousin,
th Baroness de Varignan, upon a visit . to
her milliner. : During the thousand details
of ribbon, gauze, and lace, which are of so
much importance to ladies, I found myself
a little wearied, and, having nothing partic
ular to take up my attention, my eyes wan
dered accidentally."
'Teste !" said de Marsoville, "why.there
are sometimes some very pretty things to
be seen in such places."
"My glance chanced to fall," continued
Enguerran, "upon a hat over on the other
side of the store."
"A velvet hat," cried the host, "upon a
delicious little head, a brunette, with spark
ling eyes, a true type of Andalusia."
"No," said Enguerran.
"Then some lovely blonde, a daughter of
Ossian, with heavenly blue eyes. I think
I see them now."
"You are wrong, Elie. This hat was
simply hanging upon a hook."
"Ah !" said the marquis, diseonifitted.
"At first I contemplated this hat without
really seeing it ; then its form gradually rose
before me, graceful, youthful, and pretty ;
and then I placed it, in my imagination.
upon an ideal head, charming with grace
and beauty. Thought is so prompt at our
age, you know. Out of this little hat I
created quite a romance. Cut in the mean
time, my cousin addressed several questic ns
to me. some of which I was too preoccupied
to reply to ; and not only that, but, to crown
my folly, I finished by asking the milliner
who the hat wa' for. She graciously re
plied that it had been ordered by the 'Vis-
couutess de Born.' This name wasunkuown
to me."
"And to me, also," said the marquis.
"But," pursued Enguerran, "my cousin
made a remark so little complimentary to
tlie beauty of that lady, and suitability of
the hat to her style, that I calculated that
she must be chatming; and in spite of my
self the trame of the viscountess, the hat
which was before my eyes, and the lovely
face of which I had been dreaming tor a
quarter of an hour, were so mingled in my
imagination, and had so united themselves,
as to become inseparable, and they troubled
me in such a manner as to make me appear
so ridiculous that I made every effort to
think of someting else. I would have prob
ably succeeded, for we were about to leave ;
but, just as the Baroness of Varignau was
giving some last directions, a carnage stop
ped suddenly before the door, a lady leaned
from the coach door, and said a few words
to the footman, who immediately entered the
store and demanded : 'The hat of madame,
the Viscountess of Born.'
"I trembled at that name, and, turning
uLLli. X l ; ie,
lady, or rather an angel. What do you
think the very woman I had been dream
ing of ? Do you wonder that I lost my
heart that moment? There were the same
beautifully chiselled features ; the dazzling
complexion ; the tender blue eyes ; the shy
glance so soft and bright ; the blonde tresses,
which fell in luxurious ringlets ; that little
mouth, so delicate that she scarcely seemed
to breathe, anl which seemed only formed
to smile; and I remained in the store, im
movable, trembling, fascinated. The hat
was delivered to the servant, the carriage
rolled away, the beautiful vision had disap
peared. My cousin touched me on the arm.
and told me that she was gcing. She hal
seen nothing, and she gayly railed me about
my unaccountable distraction.
" 'Truly, cousin,' said she, 'I never 6aw
you so absent-minded before. I am tempted
to believe that you are in love.'
"The baroness was right. I was in love,
Elie, foolishly in love with the Viscountess
de Born."
"I do not wish to anger you, my dear
fellow," said t he marquis, "but upon my
honor, foolish is the word."
"From that day," continued Enguerran,
''my mind had but one object, one aim, to
seek out that angelic woman, wore it only
to die at her feet. Oh ! I loved her as a
man never loves but once. During my life
I had many passing tancies; but, when I
beheld that exquisite face. Elie, I felt that
this was my first love. At twenty-nine
years of age I was not likely to mistake my
feelings. I guarded, in the depths of my
soul, the sovenir and the name. I built a
temple in my heart, in which I enshrined
the idol of every thought; and I surround
ed myself with a triple cuirass of sileuce
and mystery, in order to hide my love from
all. If I chauced to hear the name of Vis
countess de Born pronounced, I felt the
blush rus-h to my secret. Aud uever did I
dare to hazard a question, never was I mas
ter of myself sufficiently to inform myself
of that which I would have died to know.
To approach by a question, the life of that
angel seemed to me a base profanation.
"At length I learned her address by
cbauce. and from that day I avoided passing
by the door of her residence. And yet I
sought for her in society, at the theatre, and
at church. For there she would be in the
midst of the air, which all the world breath
ed ; while at home thero was an impassable
gulf between us a husband! For many
weeks my search Was in vain ; balls, con
certs, and parties were void tor me. 1 was
in dispair, yet I did not give up. At length
one evening, at the house of the Countess
de Chavelincs, while engaged at a card-table
and listening to the distant sound of music
and flying footsteps which proceeded from
the ball room, my ear caught the silvery
tone of a voice, which I had never before
heard, but which caused ms to turn suddenly
pale, while a mist floated before my eyes
It was she! Imagine what my feelings
were when that shy, soft, sweet glance met
mine. An ineffably, magnetic thrill, like
the flitting of an angel' wing, flashed across
my vision. She seemed rather surprised,
appeared to try to remember where she bad
seen me. The person whom she was con
versing with was an old man, fat and jolly,
without much style, and possessing none of
that dignity which age so often bestows,
Trembling with fity for her, I inquired the
name of the old man. I was not mistaken;
it was the Viscount de Born.
"After that I sought her ' boldly, f ap
proached her with assurance ; the viscount
seemed to think that I cam to claim some
engagement which she had favored me with.
Do not laugh, Elie. I can assure you that
I had not an unworthy thought connected
with her ; yet I must have found words and
confidence to tell her all that I had experi
enced, for at the close of the evening she
said to me :
' 'I believe you. And why should I not.
after all you have said ; for the day we
chanced to meet, I experienced the same
feelings as yourself, and we have neither of
us forgotten it? Only,' added she, with an
inexpressibly sweet and roguish smile, 'I
have been more curious than you. I know
who and what you are. I wa told all about
you, one day, when you passed us on the
Boulevards, You did not see me, as I lean
ed back in the carriage. They told me that
you were the most loyal of men, and, you
see, I believed it.
'"Poor viseount !" said the marquis.
"Wait awhile, before you complain, my
friend," said de Sorges. "After this inter
view, I returned home, not to see that an
gelic woman, perhaps, for many days. I
could not wait so long, however. I could
not live without her.
"I wrote to her, at length. Raphael, my
valet, who has lived with me' many years,
was charged with the delivery of the letter
a letter ardent, foolish, ridiculous, if you
will, but, at least, sincere. When Raphael
returned, I questioned liini closely, lie an
swered me withthat Alsacian calm!ess of his,
which you know so well, that he had seen
the Viscountess de Born, that heliad given
her the letter, and that she had giveu him
no answer, .as her husband entered the house
just at that moment. I vainly wished to
learn more. Raphael, ordinarily so observ
ing aud communicative, was very taciturn
that day, and evideutly in a bad humor.
At length I dismissed him abruptly. He
left the room without his usual obeisance,
as though he had lost all respect for me.
"lie had been gone about half an hour,
and I was alone in my chamber, reflecting
upon the incidents in this acquaintance
which I had begun, without asking myself
how it would end. Twenty resolutions came
up before my mind, but I dismissed them :
an. l contented myseir witn repeating:!
'WThat have I done?' And then in the
midst of this chaos of thoughts wise or
unreasonable, sad or joyful an image rose
before me, so beautiful, so gracious, and so
beloved, that I had no uioie to say, but
fhut my eyes on the future. Suddenly Ra- '
phael entered the room, veiy much agita
ted. " 'What is the matter?" said I.
" 'Monsieur, a person ' aud he hesita
ted. " 'Speak ! Who is the person ?'
" 'Alas!' said he, leaning toward me,
with a reproachful expression, 'why the
husband.'
" 'The Viscount de Born 1' I exclaimed,
a little surprised.
"'Yes, monsieur, the viscount,' replied
Raphael, shaking his head. 'Monsieur, it
would have been better to have avoided
this visit.'
" 'Silence ! Admit him 1'
"Raphael moved towards the door, then
returned to me. 'Monsieur,' said he, hum
bly, 'you know more about such affairs than
I do, aud, imleed, about everything else,
but I hope you do not doubt my sincere at
tachment to you?'
' 'I know that you love me, Raphael,
but I know, also, that for some,, time past
you have abused your master's attachment
for you by taking entirely too many privi
leges. After '
"Ah ! believe, me monsieur, interrupted
Raphael, very much excited, 'take my ad-
if! J.ut this oneo. Assure the old man
that you were not serious in writing to his
wife, on your word of honor ; he will surely
believe you.'
'T arose, colorins with anger. Here !
That will do ! 1 ou must be a duuee : l
cried, raising my voice. 'Admit that man
instantly, or I will seek him myselt,
"Raphael raised his eyes and bands to
heaven, aud presently introduced the vis
count "1 will confess that I felt rather anxious
as to the result of this interview. I was ill
at ease, and what to say I had not the least
idea. The Viscount de Born entered my
room with a bound, and so precipitately
that I involuntarily glanced at my sword.
" 'Ah ? Whew 1 Excuse me ! The Dev
il ! How hot it is! he exclaimed, turowmg
himself into an arm-chair without being
asked, and filliug it well, I can assure you.
"I felt a little astonished at this strange
commencement of an explanation.
" 'Monsieur de Sorges,' said the Viscount
de Born, 'my age gives me the privilege of
speaking to you seated.' He said these
words with a kind of dignity that reminded
me of our relative positions.
" 'I await your orders, M. de Born,' I
replied, standing, and without looking to
wards him.
"'Zounds! Young man,' replied the
old man, merrily, I have no orders to give
you. I have only one question to ask you.
Where did you breakfast this morning ?'
'Monsieur 1' said I, thinking that I had
misunderstood him.
" 'I have the honor of asking you where
you breakfasted ?'
" 'At home. Monsieur. But a question
like '
" 'Alone?' interrupted the viscount
'Yes, monsier, alone.
" 'Then," monsieur,' said de Born, rising,
'it is in cold blood that you have made game
6f my wife. This is unpardonable
"I was stupified with astonishment
" 'Here is your letter, monsieur con
thiued the viscount. 'You say to my wife,
among other nonsense, that 'her kind words
and her manner toward you have authorized
the language that you here have addressed
to her,' while you well know, monsieur,
that you have never exchange a. word with
my wife.'
"I looked at the letter, then at the vis-
eonnt without speaking, for I could not
understand the singular words which he ad
dressed to me, except by a loss of confidence
in the viscountess. I cau assure you that
my part in this transaction began to ap
pear very awkward. I never was one of
those men who can take pride and pleasure
in the shame and confusion of another. The
strangeness of my first encounter with the
viscountess had done all hitherto ; now, I
began to feel guilty. I reproached myself,
and, without realizing how rediculous I ap
peared, I remained silent.
" 'Come ! come !' he at length exclaimed,
good naturedly, 'you coufes your fault I
was sure of it. A regular school boy's
trick. I have often done the same myself.
But you see the viscountess toak the mat
ter very seriously, and my faith! she colored
with anger. You can have your letter,
young man. Here 1 take it and we will say
no more about it' And so saying, he left
the room as hastily as he had entered it.
"That evening, at the house of the Baron
de Roselles, the signing of the marriage
contract of our friend, Arthur de Raumont,
and the baron's daughter was to take place.
I Was invited as a witness, and I could not
very well refuse lo go. It wa3, nevertheless,
a very unpleasant step for me to take, for
I knew that the Roselles and the Borns
were relatives. Reflecting upon all that
had passed, I could not understand the con
duct of Madame de Born, except by aa in
significant coquetry, or, at the least, very
great levity ; and it was very painful to me
to be thrown so soon again into the presence
of a woman whom I had so reverenced, and
who could not be more to me, now, than a
broken idol, a beautiful dream, - which had
vanished. However, the very first eye that
met mine upon entering the drawing-room
of M. de Ilosselles was hers whom I - most
wished to a voiiLvW Madame dg Born ap-
good naturcd, without aiiection and without
the slightest embarrassment I was indig
nant, aud I telt that 1 could never pardon
her as long as I lived. My pride, however,
soon came to my aid ; and, after some su
perhuman efforts, and the tortures of a
martyr, 1 became so uriiiiantiy gay as to as
tonish myself aud I certainly must have
deceived others.
"At length, we were pasoing into a neigh
boring room, in order to examine the mag
nificent trousseau of the bride. I heard a
well-known voice pronounce these words, as
if solely for my car: 'What makes you so
unnaturally gay? You frighten me.'
"I turned in spite of myself, and truly
the features of Madame de Born expressed
so much anxiety lhat I felt my resolution
fail. But I restrained myself, and answer
ed, lightly: 'I received a visit this morning
which has made me the merriest of men.'
"The viscountess regarded me with a sur
prise that appeared to me very well played,
and we were separated, the next moment,
by the crowd of guests.
"A few moments after chance threw us
again together. To escape the heat of the
crowded rooms, I entered a little boudoir,
where there was an abandoned card table.
The viscountess, who, for the same reason,
had retired hither, was seated upon a
divan, her back to the door, in an attifcde
of profound meditation. My entrance
aroused her. She turned, and seemed much
agitated upon seeing me. I maJe a move
ment to retire, after excusing myself coldly
and briefly ; but she immediately arose, and
exclaimed, excitedly :
" 'You conceal something from me -a
misfortune, perhaps? You are not the
same. May be it is wrong for me to speak
thus, but I know not how to dissemble.'
' 'You know not how to dissemble!' I
replied, with a bitter smile. 'O, madame 1'
I said these last words in such an incredu
lous and cutting manner that she turned
very pale, and au unchecked tear rolled
down her lovely cheek. You must love, my
dear Elie, before you can appreciate the
power of a tear when the heart is full,
wheu it abounds with the thought of a wo
man, with her image, with her love. That
tear had scarcely fallen, before I was at the
feet of Madame de Born.
- " 'Oh ! forgive me !' I cried, 'forgive me!
But, tell me, how could you cause me to ap
pear so mean, so ridiculous, before your
husband?'
" 'My husband!' she cried with a bewil
dered expression.
" 'Certainly,' I responded, without chan
ging my suppliant position, and I was pro
ceeding to say more, when, suddenly, a gruff
voice behind us exclaimed :
'"Oh! ho! A man at the feet of my
niece ! Zounds 1 No, I am not mistaken.
This is, certainly, the lover of my wife'
"And, rising quickly, I recognized the
Viscount de Born.
" 'Monsieur,' said he, gravely, 'I hope
this time you are not joking, and titat you
authorize me to forewarn Madame de Born
this evening that to morrow you will come
to demand the hand of her niece, Mile,
Aurelia de Charmes?"
" 'Monsieur,' 1 replied, with as much
confusion as delight, 'you anticipate my
wishes, and you may be sure of my life-long
gratitude.'
"Mile, de Charmes, a Bilent witness of
this scene, did not try to conceal her happi
ness. At length, when we together left the
boudoir, which I had entered so unhappy,
she said to me, in a row voice :
' 'I shall know, some day, shall I not, the
key to this enigma, which has rendered me
so happy?"
" 'The answer,' I replied, smiling at the
recollection, 'is m velvet hat!' "
After these words, 51. de Sorges became
silent.
"I understand it all at last," cried the
marquis,- rising. "The viscountess was old
and ugly ; her niece was an angel. Really
my dear Enguerran, you have made me en
vy you, and wish to be married. Come !
let us go to bed." -GoJey's Lady' Book
A BEtrnFUL Comparison. Rev. De
Witt Talmadge, now of Brooklyn, closed a
sermon as follows: ."Seated at a country
fireside, the other day, I saw the fire kindle,
blaze and go out ; and I gathered up from
the hearth enough for my reflection. Our
mortal life is just like the fire on that hearth.
We put on the fresh fragment, and the
flame bursts through, and up, and out, gay
of sparkle, gay of flash, gay of crackle em
blems of boyhood. Then the fire reddens
into coal. The heat is fiercer, and the more
it is stirred the more it reddens. With
sweeps of flame it clears its way till all tiro
hearth glows with intensity emblems of
full manhood. Then come the whiteness
in the coals. The flickering shadows have
died along the walls. The faggots drop
apart The household hover over the ex
piring embers. The last breath of smoke
has been lost up the chimney. Fire is out

Kev to Character. The differences of
character are never more distinctly seen than
in times when men are surrounded by difficul
ties and misfortunes. There are some who,
if disappointed by failure in an undertaking
from wh:ch they expected great things,
make up their minds not to exert themselves
against what they calif ate ; others despon
ding and hopeless; but a third class of men
will rouse thems-ilcs in such moments, and
say to themselves "the more difficult it ia to
attain my ends, the more honorable it will
be," and this t the maxim every one should
impress upon himself as a law. Some of
those who are guided by it, prosecute their

failed in one way, th-jy will try another.
A medical journal in New York has made
the discovery that half the diseases which
affect modern humanity,are to be attributed
to carpets. The writer asserts that carpeted
rooms constantly occupied contain millions
of particles of hair, cuticle, epithelium,
ovules, fungi, and other organic matter,
which, set in motion by the trailing skirts of
the women, make the air alive with infection
and fill our nostrils and lungs with the seeds
of everything horrible. People of ordinary
nerve might stand the "hair and cuticle,"
but the very names of the others are too
much to stand.
A very singular story comes from Saginaw
Michigan. On Sunday last the neighbor
hood was aroused by the report that a child
named Uay had been murdered Dy tnree
men, who outraged a girl of fifteen, and
carried off a gun and other articles to the
woods. As the prints of feet in the soft
earth were those of children, it aroused the
suspicion of the coroner, who subsequently
discovered that the child had been acciden
tally killed, and that the brother and sis'er
had concocted the murder story to save them
selves, as they thought, from the gallows.
At the recent country fair in Rcdfield,
Me., a prominent Democrat of that town
presented two varieties of potatoes one
large, nice and fair, called Democrats ; the
other long, slim and scabby.called Republic
ans. The committee in their report, said :
"The production of the vegetable kingdom,
entered by (x. M. Fillebrown, of Redfield,
deserves a better name. In our opinion
they are far superior to the production of
the animal kindom bearing the same title."
An old miser in Michigan recently cut out
the tongue of a little boy who had been at
tracted to his hut and saw him counting his
money through a crack in the door. The
father and his friend were subsequently
fired upon by the miser, whom they shot
and killed. In the hut was found $10,000
in gold, which has bzen distributed among
the charitable institutions of the State.
A fortunate beggar, ninety one years of
age, who has been known for many years
about the streets of St Louis, has fallen
heir to the Caruthers estate, at Portland,
Oregon, which is estimated to be worth
$500,000. The original owner ot the pro
perty used to be known among trappers as
"Wrestling Joe."
Hall's Journal says: "If a man can
sleep soundly, has a good appetite, with no
unpleasant reminders after meals, the bodily
habits being regular every day, he had bet
ter let himself alone, whether he is as big
as a hogshead or as thin and dry as a fence
rail.

II. T, Uelmbolb. Druggist:
DsarSir: I hire been a sufferer, fer upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney
affections, during which tim I have need various
medicinal preparations, and been under th treat
ment of th most eminent Physicians, xjerien
cing but little relief
Having Ken your preparations extensively ad-
vertised, I consulted with my family physician ia
regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I did this becaus t had nsed all kinds ef ad
vertised remedies, and bad found them worthless,
and ivdii quite injurious; in fact, I despaired f
ever getting well, and determined to use n rem
cdies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients.
It wes this that prompted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed of buchu,
cubebe and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice, after an examination of th arti
cle, and consulting again with th druggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced its us about
eight months ago, at which time I was confined
to my room From the Erst bottle I was astonish
ed and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt
much like writingyou a full statement of myeaa
at that tim, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefor concluded t
defer and sea if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of greater value to yoa
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cur ts effeetsa
after using th remedy for five months.
I bave not used any now for fhre months, and
feel as well in all respeots as I ever did.
Tour Buchu being devoid ot any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigoratorof th
system. I do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion uay require it use in such affections.
