Second. It rezno?el the camao of irritation (which
produoss cough) of the =coca membrane and

the unhealthy secretions, and purifies the blood.
Third. It is free from squills, iobeUa, Ipecac and

composed. which allay cough only, and disorgenis.o
the stomach. It has a soothing eLasct cm the stomach,

- A Ruskin itomanco. 1
dlout the year 1811, metnorable in Rus
sian history, there lived upon hia- estate of
Nemaradortf a rich landed proprietor, Ga
brilovitch by name, noted for affability and
'hospitality. His house was always ' pen to
si o
his friends and neighbors, who u to con
gregate there every evening --the of er ones
to enjoy a game of cards with the host 'and
his wife Yetrowna, the younger one in the"
hope of winning the favor of Marie abeau
dial girl of seventeen, the only daughter
and heiress of eabrilovitcla.
Marie read French novels, wide natu
rally rendered her very sentimental and ro
mantic. I\ Under these circurusta n es love
was not long in coming. ' The obje of her
affections was a Russian cadet, with scarce
ly a penny in his pocket, who rekded in
the neighborhood, and was then at home on
a leave of absence. As a matter of course
he returned her love with equal ardor. Ma
rie's parents had strictly forbidden her
'thinking of such a union, and they, treated
the lover whenever they met him with just
as much friendliness as they wou d have
shown to an ex-collector of taxes.
The pair meanwhile carried on a corres
pondence, and met clandestinely :beneath
the shade of the pine grove, or behind the
old chapel. As will readily be supposed,
they here vowed eternal fidelity to each
other, complained of the severity of fate,
and devised beautiful plans for the future.
After some time they naturally came to
think that should their parents Persist in
opposing the union it might in th end be
‘
consummated secretly and witho t their
consent. The young gentleman vas the
first to 1 -propose this, and the young lady
soon saw the expediency of it.
The an roach of winter put tir end to
these stOlpi interviews, but their letters in
creased in frequency and warmth. Iln each
of them Viadimer Nickoloviteh conjured
his love to leave the paternal roof and con
sent to a clandestine marriage.
"We will disappear for a short while,"
he wrote, "come back and cast urselves
at the feet of our parents, who, touched by
such constancy, will exclaim, ' Come to our
arms, dear children.' "
Mario was long irresolute. At ength it
was agreed, however, that she uhould not
appear at supper on a day appointed, but
should retire to her room on the pt l etext of
indisposition. Her maid had been 'let into
the secret. Both were to escape by a buck
door, in front of which they would find a
sleigh ready to convey them, a distance of
five werats, to the chapel of JadritiO, where
Viadimer and the priest would await them.
Having made her preparations, and writ
ten a long apologetical letter to her parents,
Marie retired betimes to her' roo - She
bad been complaining all day of a headache,
andi.his was certainly no mere pre ext; for
the nervous excitement had in tru h indis
posed her. Her father and motile nursed/
her tenderly, asking her again an, again;
"How do you feel now, Marie? Are yen
no hettert" This loving solicitude cut the
girl 'to the heart, and with the approach of
evening her excitement increased.
At supper site ate nothing, but rose be
times and bade her parents good i night.—
The latter kissed and blessed her, as was
their wont, while Marie could scarcely re
press her sobs. Having reached ber room
she threw herself into a chair and Wept,
' aloud. Her maid finally succmit4 in com
forting her and cheering her up. ,
Later in the evening a snow storm arose.
The wind lioNtled about the house causing
the 'Windows to rattle: The inmates had
hardly gone ,to rest when the yoUng' gill,
wrapping herself in her clothes and furs,
and followed by the servant with a port
manteau, left the paternal roof. A. sleigh
drawn by three horde's received them, and
away they went at a furious speed. 1
'Vladinier had also been active throughout
the day. In the morning he had dulled on
the minister at Jadrino to arrange for the
ceremony, and then he,went to lei* up the
required witnesses. The brit actplaintance
to whom he applied was an officer on half
pay, who expressed himself ready to serve
him. Such an adventure, lie said carried
him back to the days of his own iyoutii:-- :
He determined Viadimer should remain
with him, taking upon himself tol procure
the other two witnesses. There acqordingly
appeared at dinner Surveyor Schmidt, with
his spurs and moustache, and IsPravalk's
son, it lad of seventeen, who had just en
listed with the Uhians. Both promised
Viadimer their assistance, and, leiter a cor
dial embrace, the happy lover parted from:
his three friends to complete his prepare.-
Lions at home. "
Having dispatched a trusty eervtmt, with
a sleigh for Marie, he got into ,a oue-horse
sleigh hithself, and took the road leading
to Jadrino. Scarcely had he see t olf when
the storm burst forth with violence, and
soon every trace of the way was gone. The
entire horizon was covered with thick yel
low clouds, discharging not flakes but mass
es of snow. At last` it became impossible
to distinguish between earth and I sky. In
vain Viadimer beat about for the !way; his
horse wenton at random, now leaping over
banks of snow, now sinking into: ditches,
and threatening every moment to ,overturn
the sleigh. The insupportable thought of
having lost the road had become a certain

animal seemed ready to drop to the ground.

rifY. - degrees the storm abated, and the

the opposite
_skirt - of the forest. Still no
.liidrino; but a group of four of five houses
inOt his view. His knock at the door of the
nearest was answered-by an old man.
;G , What do you wantr" he said.
Where lies Jadrince asked Viadimer.
-" About ten werste distant."
this reply Viadimer felt as if his sen•
fence of death was being announced to
.1/Im.
""Can you procure a horse to take me
'thither?" he asked.
-" We have no horses."
: I ‘if)r at least a guide. I will pay any
Oriee."
"Very well; my son can accompany the
gentleman." '
After a little while, which seemed an
'eternity to Vladimer, a yciung fellow made
"iiis appearance holding a thick staff in his
land, and they took their way across the
inow•covered plain.
" What o'clock is it?" asked Vladimer.
EIII
:-" It is already past` midnight."
And in _very truth the sun began to gild
the'east when they finally arrived at Jadri=
:no. The church door was locked. Vladi
iner paid and dismissed his guide, and then
Instalottly - hitstened to the minister's dwell
ing. What ho there' learned - will appear
from the seqUel.
At Nemaradorff the night had passed
quietly. In the morning the master of the
:Wise and his wife arose as usual, - and pro
ceeded to the dining room, Gabriel Gabel
isziteh in his woolen jacket and night cap,
Tetrowna .1n her morning gown. After
they had breakfasted Gabriel sent up one of
the girls to inquire how Mario was. She
returned with the message that her young
Miatress' had had a sleepless night, but that
she was feeling better now, and would come
?flown presently. Marie soon after. entered
;the room, looking exceedingly , pale, yet
'without the least perceptible agitation.
"How do you feel this morning, love?" '
inquired her fallher.
f ' , Better, " we the answer.
The day pass d as usual; but instead 'Of
;the looked-for proeement, a change for
the worse took lace in Marie's condition.
The family Phy idea was summoned from
the nearest town, who found her in a state
of `most violent flver. For fourteen days
she lay at the point of death.
f - ' , Nothing transpired of the nocturnal
filght e for the maid took good care to keep
faience On her own account, and the others
who knew of it never betrayed themselves
With a syllable, even when under the influ
ence of brandy, so greatly did they dread
Gabriel's anger. ,
T 'Marie, however, spoke so incessantly of
Madinter when delirldus that her mother
could not remain in doubt as to the cause of
her illness. Having advised with a few,
friends, her parents resolved to let Marie
marry the young soldier, seeing that one
Cannot escape one's fate, and besides, that
'riches do not always lead to happiness.
The patient recovered. During her ill
ness Vladimer bad not once
-shown his face'
in the house, and it-was resolved to apprise
hint of his unexpected good fortune. But,
to the astonishment of the proud proprie
tor of Nemaradorff, the cadet declared that
be should never again cross the threshold of
his house, begging them at the same time to
forget tiVerly so , wretched a creature as he,
to whom death alone would give repose.
-- A few days afterward they learned that
'Vladinier had again returned to the army.
It - was in the year 1812. No one uttered
his name in Marie's presence, and she her
self never made mention of him in any
Way. Two or ;three months had elapsed,
`s4ten one day she found his name among
ti -a lint of .OM-cent -who had distinguished
themselves at the battle of Borodino, and
who had been mortally wounded. She
fainted away and had a relapse, from which
she recovered but slowly.
Not long after her father died, bequeath
ing his whole property to her. But riches
were not able to comfort her; she wept with
her mother, and promised never to leave
her. They sold' Nemaradorif and removed
to another estate. Suitors thronged around
the wealthy and-amiable heiress, but none,
of them received the slightest encourage
ment from her. Often did her mother pre,Ss
her to choose a husband; she would rnetkly :
shake her head in silence. /
Vladimer was no more, he died at/Mos
cow on the evening before the entrance. of
the French. Marie seemed to hold his mem
ory sacred; she carefully preserved the
books they had - read together, his
the letters he had written to her—in brief,
everything that could serve to keep alive
the remembrance of the ill-fated youth. ~
About this time the war,/ fraught with
such glory to the Allies, 9f whom Russia
was one, came to an end. , The victorious
regiments returned home; and crowds of
people flocked together/to greet them.—
Officers who had gone forth as beardless
youths came back with' the grave faces of
warriors, their gallant'breasts covered with
badges.
A. lieutenant of/ hussars, WurmlnT by
name, with an interesting pale face, and
decorated with the cross of St. George, hay-
ing obtained leave of absence for several 1
months,,took up his residence on his estate,
which joined Marie's present abode. The
young girl received him with far more fa
vor than she had hitherto shown to any of
her visitor* They resembled each other in
many respects; both were handsome, intel
ligent, taciturn, and reserved.
There was something mysterious about
Wurmin which reused the curiosity and in
terest of Marie: His affection for her was
soon unmistakable; he showed her every
conceivable attention; but why did he never
speak of love, though his - dark, ardent eyes
would rest upon her s.half dreamingly, half
with an expression which seemed to an
nounce an early and positive declaration?—
Already the neighbors spoke of their mar
riage as a settled matter, - and, mother Pe
trownis was more than happy at the thought
of her daughter's finding a ~o rtiy husband
at last.
One tuning when the mother was sit
ting in th parlor Wurmin entered and ask
ed for Mu ie. '
" She • • in the garden," answered her
mother. " You will find my daughter there
if you wold like to see her."
The young officer hastily walked out into
the garden.
PetrOwna then crossed herself, murmur
ing, "God be praised! To-day I trust his
visit will have some result."
MI
• Wurmin found his beloved, clad in white,
sitting under a tree by the !side of a pond.
with n book upon her lap, like a heroine of
romance. The usual salutations over, the
young officer, who was strangely agitated,
told her how he had long yearned to pour
out his heart before her, and he begged that
she would listen to him a few moments.—
She closed her book, and nodded in token
of assent. *
"I love you," said Wurmin, "I love you
passionatelyf" Marie cast down her eyes.—
" I have been imprudent enough to see you,
to hear you daily. It is now too late to es
cape my fate. The thought of your lovely
face, of your sweet ;voice, will henceforth
constitute the joy and anguish of my exist
ence. But I have akluty to perforin toward
you;;I must reveal to you, a secret which
has placed an insurmountable barrier be
tween us."
"That barrier," murmured Marie, "ex
isted always—l. could never have become
yours."
" I know," replied Wurmin in atuppress
ed voice that you have loved before, but
death—three longyears of mourning—dear

comfort, of the blissful thought that you
might become mine if—"
" Cease, I conjure you! You Jena my

" Yes, you will grant me the comfort of
knowing that you would have become mine
—but, 'most wretched of men that 'I am, I
am already married t"
Marie gazed at lulu with a look of aston
ishment.
" Yes, married for four years," continued
the lieutenant, " and I do not know either
who my wife 1.9 or whether I shall ever meet
her."

It was hi the year 1812. I happened to be
on my way to Wiliam with• the intention• of
loining my regiment. Late in eventua

that horses - should Instantly be put to again,
when a fierce snow storm suddenly arose.—
The landlord and the postillion earnestly
advised me to postpone my departure, but I
was determined to go in spite
• of the rough
weather. • The postillion, had got it into his
head that by crossing a small river, the
banks of which were perfectly well known
to him, he should find a:shorter route. Ile
missed tbe right crossing; however, and got
hito a region to which he was an entire
stranger.
"The storm continued to rage. Atlength
we descried a light lin the distance. We
made for it, and stopped before a church,
from the brightly-ilihminated windows of
which the light shone. 'The door was open;
three sleighs were in front of it, and I saw
several p,ersons in the vestibule. One of
them called out, 'This way! this way!' I,
not out and_walked toward the vestibule,
'he person who had called advanced toward
me. Great heavens!' he said, ' how late
you come. Your intended has fainted, and
we were on the very point 'of driving home
again.' •
" Halt' bewildered and half amused, I
resolved Ito let the adventure take its Course.
And indeed I had little time for reflection.
My friends tugged me into the interior of
the church, .which was pogily lighted by
two or three lamps. A female was sitting
upon a bench in the shadow, while another
stood behind her and chafed her temples.
" At last!" cried the - latter; God be
praised that you have conie! My, poor mis
tress liked to have died.'
"An aged priest emerged from behind
the altar and asked:
" 'Can we begin?'
" 'Begin, reverend father,' Leried unad
visedly.
" They assisted the half-unconscious girl
to arise; she appeared very pretty. In a fit
of unpardonable, and now quite incompre
hensible levity, I readily stepped with her
to the altar. Her maid and the three gen
tlemen present were so busied with her as
scarcely to throw a look at me. Besides,
the light in this part of the church was
dim, and my head was muffled in the hood
of my cloak.
"In a few minutes the nuptial ceremony
was over, and the priest, according to cus
tom, desired the newly-married pair to em
brace. •
" My young wife turned her pale, charm
ing little face toward me, and was about to
rest her head on my shoulder, with a sweet
smile, when suddenly she stared at me as if
turned into stone, tottered, and with the
cry of ' It is not hel' fell to the floor. /
'All the furies of hell lashed me out' or
thehurch before any one could think "if
stay ng me. I jumpedinto my sleigh, and
1
seiz ng the reins was soon beyond the reach
of pursuit."
./
The lieutenant was silent. 14i 'e also
gazed in silence at the ground.
" And have you never discover what
became of the poor girl?" she finally asked.
"Never. I know neither the name of the
village where I was married nor' do I recol
lect the etation where I stopped. At the
time my culpable, frivolous / prank seemed
to me a matter of so little moment that as
soon as there was no longer any pursuit to
fear I went to sleep in the sleigh, and did
not awake until we arrived at another ate;
tion. The servant whom I had with me
was killed in battle; all' my efforts 'to find
out the postillion who/drove us proved una
vailing; and so every'clue seems indeed lost
by which I mightvsgain - find the scene of
that folly for which I have now to suffer so
heavily." /
Marie turned
_her pale face toward him,
and took both his hande. The lieutenant
gazed thunderstruck into her eyes; a dim
foreboding awoke in hie breast; a veil spd

/The Prince Imperial.
/The young Prince Napoleon Eugene Louis
an Joseph was born on thelGth of March,
/1850, and is therefore now drawing toward
the completion of his seventeenth year,—
While still in arms lie was placed on the
muster roll of the French Imperial Guards
as a private in the regiment; for, as it was
intended that he should receive' a military
education, and afterward assume a military
command, it was designed, as a compliment
to the, army, that he should, at least nomi
nally, go through all the gradations of the
service. When old enough to begin to learn
the military exercises he was put through
them with other youths of his own age, and
in this way was taught the bayonet and other
drills before he was eight years old. By
this time, too, he had been made a non-com
missioned officer of his regiment, and, step
by step, passed through the various grades
toward the rank -,of colonel. But, ,svhile
special attention was given to his military
training, his education as a citizen was not
neglected. Beside the ordinary rudiments
of instruction he received lessons in two or
three handicrafts, the last of which was the
setting up of types in the imperial printing
office of Paris. The object of - this may"
have been simply to extend his sphere of
knowledge, and enlarge his views in after
life; but the ability to earn a living like an
ordinary individual has before now proved
a valuable accomplishment for even the heir
to a throne. It , will be remen,ibered that
Ring Louis Phillippe, while in exile in Swit
zerland in early life,tpursued for a time the
calling of a schoolmaster. The young
Prince Imperial bears the reputation of be
ing intelligent, good-tempered, and very
much attached to his friends. ' His "bap
tism of fire" in front of the Prussians was
the only remarkable event of his life. The
late Napl:aeon was extremely attached to
this his only son and heir. The boy is not
reported to possess much force of charac

Am -ical "Society."
That there is plenty of society in America
of course none would be foolish eneogli to
deny. The girl who grows up " goes out,"
as a matter .of course; the man who reaches
the age of aixteen is very likely to go to
dancing classes, and two years litter to balls.
But there is no social code, except such as
is imported from Europe, and when you
say " imported from Europe," you don't
mean from any one country, but some cus
toms from England, some from France,
some from Germany, some new, some old,
some bad, some good, some destined to.sur
viVe, sornecto perish. It is, in fact, With
social ideas in this•country as it is with ev
erything else—intellectual, moral, and phy
sical, except such manufactured products as
we think it necessary to exclude by a tariff
—everything and everybody is allowed to
come and maintain himself, ;or herself, or
itself, if enough can be found to live on.—
All ideas, principles, thought's; feelings, pro
cesses, and traditions that have ever made
their appearance' in the world, find in the
United States a common 'field in which .the
struggle fur existence results in the survival
of the fittest. Nothing is settled, nothing
is fixed. There are no decisions which are
final. There are no laws or code of the le
vitical kind. A. general sense of social ob
ligation of course exists. It would be im
possible for a' gentleman who wished to cut
a figure in the society of New York or Bos
ton to make a habit of "drawing a bead"
on his hostess whenever anything went
wrong in the cotillion, or of picking the
pockets of his fellow guests; it would be,
out of the question for a waiter to sit down
to table with the company, er for the ladies
at a formal dinner party to remain with the
gentlemen after the hostess had gone into
the parlor.
Within these rather broad limits, hoW
ever, there is such an amount of freedom as
to render it an impossibility to say where
the true lines are. It is absurd in sueh
society' as ours to talk of what is allowed,
what is permitted, what is de rip-cur, and
what is not. The idea of the necessity of
social ordinances and the machinery for
their application is derived from a familiar
ity with fixed states of society, in which for
generations the means of social amusement
have seen concentrated in the same or near

of only about six inches at KaSeem, while
at Oman it rises to three and four feet, with
wide-spreading branches,. being woody and

yellow. Two or three black seeds, Much
like French beans in size and shape, are
produced in a soft, wooly kind of a capsule - :

avor of 'opium. The odor from them is

verized and administered, cautiously, soon
begins to-operate in a way to create aston

Tobacco vs. Int,elleot.'
At the nearest recollection the internal
revenue report of last year showed that the
United States consumed about ten million
cigars during that time. Many old smokers
prefer the pipe to the cigar, .and probably
as much tobacco is consumed in that s
as in. cigars. However Out of the way, i.u-
IneriCally, the previous 'statement may 102,
it is .rue that there are in this - country 32,-
284 manufacturers of cigars, and_they 6m.
ploy 71,491 men. Wherever tobacco est. be
raised the farmer finds it one of the int,st,
profitable crops, and consequently is very
apt to cultivate it. Its use increases froni
year to year in a greater ratio than the pop
ulation. People differ so widely as to its
effects that it is only just, whenever a can
did statement is made of any test, to give it
publicity. Recently, at the Polytechnic
school in Paris, one of the professors -in
quired into the habits of the one hundred
and sixty students there, and then made a
comparison between their devotions to stmiy
and to smoke. He found that one hundre..t
And two were smokers, and lifty-eight never
used, or said they never used, the noxious
weed. He then found that in each grade of
the school the students who 01 not smoke
outranked those who did stake, and that:
the scholarship of the smokers steadily de
teriorated as the smoking continued. On
account of several trustworthy reports of
such a nature the Minister of public In
struction in France issued a circular to the
directors of colleges and schools forbithilng•
tobacco to students as injurious to ph} - ,sicei
and intellectual development. But aWI i ter
in a Paris medical'•journal complains that
the use of tubaccb will not probably cease
entirely so long as Sunday schools furnibh

Power of Comprehension.
It was said of Thoreau that he could take
up any given zumber of lead pencils With
out counting. I A celebrated trapper Mce
assured us that'he could tell how many, balls
he had in his bullet pouch by placing his
bend on it, and without stopping to count
them, and added: "I can tell the number
of bullets instantly, without stopping, . fl 9
you pronounce a word without spelling it."
Southey was accustomed to take in the sub
stance of a book in turning the leaves over
continuously and glancing down the pages.
lioudan, the magician, trained himself to
quickness of perception, when, a boy, by
running past a shop window at full speed,
and then trying to tell what was in it. We
once saw a man on a canal boat who was
amusing himself by going froni passenger
to passenger 11130:1 telling almost every one
Si here he had seen him before—on such a
train, in such a hotel, in such a street—giv
ing date and place to people with idioms he
had never ekeliatiged a word. This train
ing of the faculties in particular directions
is carried to a marvelous extreme by back
woodsmen, trappers, and men who guess
the weight of animals. Perhaps the most
remarkable instances are the markers who
leap from log to log at the mouth of a boom,
standing on the log and translating instantly
an old mark lute a new one, remembering

Having attained our object in point of

to retain and improve upon it by care and
good management. While good care via
