J R: ft |i "Who is it?--Mrs. Ingalls!* asked - - the sick woman faintly. •;j "No, it is only I," answered the in . - truder as she advanced to the bed-side. . "Do yon wish to see Mrs. Ingalls or the .4 doctor?" "Oh, no, thank yon, you will do quite as well. Give me my traveling bag, . please." And on receiving it, the invalid drew from it, with hands that were trembling i from the near approach of death, a square pasteboard box securely tied. _ \ "In this box are all my jewels--dia­ monds, emeralds, rubies--and they are too intrinsically valuable to be left in this bag. "Will you take care of them? If I--if I die, you will please give them to my sister; and perhaps you had bet­ ter write her address now--there is a ' pencil in my bag." And as the frail hands reach for it, their grasp was sud­ denly loosened, and in a few seconds she was dead. The watcher by her side for an in- , stant stood motionless then; hearing voices, she fled. jrhe dead woman had been traveling, slie was very ill. and a physician, Dr. Ingalls, who sat near her, kindly in- j sisted upon her leaving the train, and going to his house to stay at least until the morrow. And long before mid­ night she was dead. When Dr. Ingalls and his wife en­ tered the room and saw that she was past the need of earthly care they were very much shocked; Mrs. Ingalls ut­ tered a slight scream, which brought two young girls into the room, both entering through the door that had given exit to the watcher and the jewels. "What is the matter ?" exclaimed both the girls. "The poor stranger is dead--died suddenly and*alone!" said the doctor. ^ "And we do not even know her name," added his wife. A careful search gave them no clue \ to either her name or address, or that ® " of any other person; nor was there any * ' mark of any sort on her clothing. * * If either of these two girls. Dr. In- '•H galls' neice, Lenora, or the governess, * Effie Claymond, was the person who re­ ceived the jewels and was therefore the •<m last to see the stranger alive, she gave 110 sign. Dr. Ingalls inserted'in several news- ^ papers an account of her sudden death, * giving a full description of her height, features, wearing apparel, etc., but all in vain. Three weeks had elapsed when Carroll r Thurston came and said that he thought ^ the dead woman must have been his aunt, Mrs. Hester Gregory. "One of her friends," said he, "in­ formed me that she had in her bag a box of valuable jewelry." "Here are all the possessions that the dead lady brought into our house." And Mr. Ingalls showed him various articles, some of which he did not rec­ ognize, and one or two which he thought he had seen; at least one, a little silver cup, he knew to have been a gift from himself to his aunt, and an­ other, a round pincushion, yielded to a secret spring, which no one had hither to found, and disclosed his uncle's face. - The stranger was indeed Mrs. Greg­ ory, as Oarroll Harston supposed. Now, Carroll Hurston was no stranger to Dr. Ingalls or any member of his family. He and Lenora Ingalls had first met when she was visiting relatives about two years before; for a few weeks he fancied himself desperately in love with Lenora's pretty face--her deep blue eyes that were almost black, her fresh complexion that neither knew nor needed cosmetics; her scarlet lips formed a perfect Cupid's bow; her soft light hair, so unlike her dark eyelashes and brows that she was wrongfully ac- eosed of having bleached it. And if Lenora had not returned home very suddently, owing to her uncle's ill­ ness, Oarroll Hurston would have been her declared (and accepted) lover. But Hurston was now in love, beyond a doubt, with Effie Claymond, a merry brown-eyed girl whom he had known when she was scarcely in her teens, but had not seen for six years. This slighting or herself for another vexed Lenora. imt alio was powerless to help herself, although she did her best to ln(c him Itack. She tried to convince herself that it was not Effie Claymond's personal qual­ ities that enchained her quondam lover, but the wealth bequeathed her by her dead father. But when a great financial crash came, and Effie waked up one morning and found herself penniless, then Lenora was too well convinced that slie had deceived herself, for Car­ roll. far from deserting Effie, proposed and was accepted. The same crash that beggared Effie rednced Mr. Hnrston's business to a mere nothing, and Carroll could not persuade her to marry him at once. "No, Carroll," she said. "Your first duty is to aid your father and comfort your mother in this trouble. In a year we will talk this matter over again." When Lenora Ingalls heard of this half-broken engagement she took cour­ age, and determined to hope for the best. a . Effie felt her dependent position, and was not always able to contemnlate the future with a calm, hopeful heart, but Carroll's letters spoke so confidently of their speedy union, that she was not utterly despondent. Spring passed; summer waned; in September ft letter came from Carroll saying the business was very much im­ proved, and the debts were virtually all paid. .f vinoed tjjiat his ilRated deed Mrs. Gregory, he ! are the i*Wels? J hiig in my house " "Oh, that cannot be! Doubtless she was robbed in the train," answered Carroll, who had just arrived. "No; sk»#a& alone," was the doctor's reply. "Wife, who was in her roods that evening?" "No one but myself, that I knew of." "What jewels had she?" continued fiie doctor. "I know only of a sapphire and dia­ mond pendant, a ruby breastpin and earrings, a pair of diamond earriugs, an emerald bracelet, and a diamond and emerald cross." "Wife, why do you look so strangely at the girls? Lenora, why do you and Miss Claymond blush?" asked the doc­ tor, suddenly. i • And Carroll, following the doctor's, clanoe, saw that his mint's jewels had Been in the house, and that the three women were concealing something,) "I--I don't know, my dear," stam­ mered Mrs. Ingalk. . "Lenora, explain this at once." ;; "I cannot, uncle," said she. • * "I will explain, doctor," said Rite, with her cheeks now as pale as they were previously scarlet "A day or two ago I received a box containing an emerald diamond cross and a ruby -breastpin and earrings. I do not know who sent them. It is very odd." "Strange." said Carroll. "Get Us the box, please." "I destroyed the box and its envel­ ope." "Wife, you shouldn't have let her do that." "I knew nothing of it, doctor. Neither Lenora nor I saw the box-- only the jewels." "Very old that such things are sent (inoTrymously," exclaimed the doctor, suspiciously. Search was made, and nothing was found except, under the bureau, a torn paper containing Mrs. Hurston's ad­ dress in Mrs. Gregory's handwriting. When this came to light, the doctor was furious, and would have had Effie arrested, but that Carroll declared he would not prosecute, and Lenora, peti­ tioned for her. "Effie, do say something!" exclaimed Hurston. "Can you not clear yourself of such suspicions ?" "You, of all people, should not ask it." "I don't--not for myself, that is. I am sure you are innocent. If you were ever ab dishonest, and of course such a supposition is monstrous, you would not steal from me, of all people. But for your own sake, speak." "What can I say, Carroll?" "Say that you never saw the jewels until you opened the box the postman gave you. ~ "I will not! My character should be enough. I defy you, Dr. Ingalls, to prove me a thief!" "Did anyone see the postman give you a box?" asked Mrs. Ingalls. "He did not give it to me. I found it in the letter-box," stammered Effie. "I call you all to witness," said Hurs­ ton, "that I present all possessions of my dead aunt, Mrs. Gregory, to Miss Claymond. By a will made last spring, my aunt made me her' sole heir, so have a right to do so. "Good Heaven ] Carroll, can you be­ lieve "No, Effie, I cannot believe it, but n "Mr. Hurston, there can be no 'but' between us. I give you back your plighted word. As for the jewels, give them to your wife," cried -Effie, and quitted the room. In an hour she had left the house; seeing no one but Lenora, who wept and assured Effie that she might count on her as a friend. Weeks passed, and Effie was but the skeleton of herself. Just at this time, some of the stock in which her father's property was invested ceased to be worthless and he was quite rich again. There was a large dinner party at the house of one of Effie's friends. Le­ nora was invited and accepted. But Effie declined her invitation on account of a severe cold. Suddenly, however, she felt so much better that she very unexpectedly made her appearance at the party. There was another sur­ prise, too, for Carroll Hurston walked in one door just as Effie entered the other, and their hostess declared her­ self unusually favored. Lenora had always been loud in her defence of Effie, so Carroll, as well as "Effie hastened to speak to her. "Good evening, Miss Ingalls! I hope you will be agreeably surprised to see "I am indeed." "I have come to rr^Sb my peiee with Effie, and want you to plead for me. I know I acted as if I doubted her when those jewels--" At these words Lenora turned pale, and suddenly raised her hand to her neok and placed it upon a beautiful sap­ phire and diamond that lay there, glit­ tering and twinkling in the gaslight. Carroll's eyes followed her^ hand; then, in a strangely altered voice, she said, "Miss Ingalls, you will allow me to examine that locket ?" "It --it isnt a locket. It is only a pendant. It--it haB nothing in it," answered she hastily '•I insist upon having it in my hand." His gaze was sterner than his half whispered words. She handed him the ornament; he pressed the center dia­ mond, and the entire setting slid down­ wards, disclosing a manly face, which Carroll declared to be that of Mr. Greg­ ory. "I recognise the jewel, beoause I had it made for Mr. Gregory when I was in Paris three years ago. How did it come into your possession ?" said he. No reply. Leaore's lips quivered. **Oh, Carroll, don't bo harsh! Re­ member how she defended me !** plead­ ed Effie. "Explain it at once, and I will be dumb hereafter!" whispered Hurston. Lenora, in a few low words, told how liis aunt had given her the diamonds for safe keeping; how, at their owner's sudden death, she had fled in fear; how she had yielded to temptation and had hidden them, thinking that no one would ever know it, and that she would eventually sell them; that, jealous of Effie, she had placed the diamond cross aad rubies in the box, directed it in a feigned hand and dropped it in the let­ ter-box, hoping that Carroll would see those jewels and break the engagement. "And then, when I found that I had committed a theft and Effie was sus­ pected, I could aot speak," she said. "I little expected to see either of you to-night." "You not only rob the dead " be­ gan Carroll, in hot wrath, but Effie slipped her hand'in his, and said," For­ give her, dear Carroll, as I forgive you for seeming to suspect met." Thomas Jefferson, uMU!er." ; Although related by the popular au­ thor, Mr. Parton, in his life of ofr first "Republican" President, it may have escaped the notice of the milling fra­ ternity that in the spirit of the Ancient Guilds of London this nun might have Iwen entitled, Thomas JeC&fon, "MU- ler." This large-hearted, hospitable Virginian, from his entrance on the charge of his estate, had furnished his neighbors with their grist-n»ill facilities. When he became President of the Union, they more than hinted that with his "large salary" he might now enlarge his mill. The hint was promptly taken, and on the River Rivenna he erected a structure of "rock," four stories in height with four run of stone, building ^herewith a dam costing a thousand dollars. The mill was completed and eleven bushels of wheat had been stored; coopers, millers, and teamsters were in fnll activity, awaiting thoftret turn of the great wheel. But, alas! at this moment a storm sprang up anidfig the mountains, and in the midst of a great freshet Mr. Bacon, the manager, saw the whole dam swept away. The President was then at his home in Mon- ticello, and Mr. Bacon hurried up to the mountain top with sorrowing heart, to tell him of the dreadful disaster. "The mill-dam is all swept away," the doleful manager said to the President. "Well* sir," said Mr. Jefferson, with per­ fect serenity, "we can't make a new dam this summer; but we will gut Lewih' ferry-boat and our own, and get the hands from all quarters, and draw up rock enough in place of the dam to answer for the present, and next sum­ mer I will send to Baltimore and get some ship bolts and make a dam that no freshet can move." Mr. Bacon says, No matter what happened you never saw his face ruffled." It is interesting to note also in the midst of the deep in­ terest with which the new Northwest is now opening its grand wheat-producing capacities to the onward tread of thousands of eager workers and vigor­ ous pioneers, that the first explorations of the Missouri to its source in the Rocky and across these mountains on down the Columbia to the shores of the Pacific, made by Lewis and Clark, were done under the instigation and appoint­ ment of this far-sighted, public-spirited man. While the expeditions of Lieut. Z. M. Pike, whose name is crystal­ lized on the lofty Colorado peak, lay­ ing open to the American public the Upper Mississippi beyond the Falls of St. Anthony, and noting the sites of the great cities now rising on its banks, was set in motion by the same head and hand. From the day Capt. Johu Smith, sailing up the Chickahominy in search of the South Sea, America had waited 200 years for this explora­ tion, inspired by Thomas Jefferson, "Miller," at the opening of the nine­ teenth century. I'p the Acddeat Badness. There are lawyers and lawyers. William M. Evarts or David Dudley Field, for instance, probably would not hire runners to Moot fhe hospitals for the victims of accidents and 'drum up business for fee office. It is not known that Mr. Evarts or Mr. Field ever did such a thing, any way. But there are lawyers in New York who do it. A Amhtrr who has been in the business for several years was "fired out" of Bellevue Hospital the other day for trying to force a man whose leg had just been amputated to sign some legal papers, though the doctor had given orders that no one should be allowed to talk to the man at all. His method was to work up cases for certain lawyers who shared the Spoils with him if they succeeded in grabbing any. Victims of railroad accidents were the best gained, for a suit for damages is a thing that railroad com­ panies will always settle if they can. The sufferer in Bellevue had been run over by a Third avenue car. After the tiring out of the hospital runner I asked a lawyer if he thought there were others in the business. "Why," he said, "there's lots of fellows in it, and they do hardly anything else. The first thing is to hunt through the morning papers for reports of accidents. Then they hunt up the injured persons at their homes or in the hospitals, talk them half to death about good claims for damages and get them to sign some papers if they're able. Then the case is turned over to a scrub lawyer who threatens a suit, or actually brings a suit, and the runner gets a share of any plunder that results." The runner bounced from Bellevue claims to have secured $200,000 for crippled persons since he undertook the business. Ho forgets to say how much of the $200,000 the lawyers and himself have kept.-- New York Letter. A XburvalMM Dream. Last summer I was "dotaf London" as thoroughly as an American woman without escort Can, wfeea ooeaioniiag, after catching prudent glimpses of what remains of the "St. Giles," Immortalized by Hogarth or Douglas Jcrrotd, and of the "Seven Dials," 1 turned into New Oxford street (whioh is topped by Tottenham oourt road and ends at Mudie's Library). Walking along towards Holborn I iound inyaelf involuntarily stopping I ono of the prettiest fronts 1 had yet stopping False Ideas of Fevers. - !"eo often there is an absurd idea that a fever patient must be kept very warm or hot, that no air must be ad­ mitted, and that light is almost or quite poison. At first, during the stage in which the cold--the immediate cause-- prevails, it is of the greatest import­ ance to keep the patient sufficiently warm, though it is not needful to ex­ clude pure air at any time. But when the body is hot and feverish, the tem­ perature raised one or two degrees, it is not needful to add more heat, but rather to reduoe it judiciously. It may be needful, on account of the sensi­ tiveness of the eyes, to exclude the light, or the glare of light--just as far as it is painful; and yet the eyes may be covered, or the light gradually ad­ mitted. or admitted through colored curtains, so as not to inflict harm. This same light is an aid in the removal of disease of so much importance that it should be excluded only when com­ fort demands it, and then allowing it as soon and to the extent that the circum­ stances will admit. Ordinarily there is no occasion for quilts at the windows; no occasion to over-heat or stifle the patient by the presence of air loaded with carbonic gas or the filthy exhal­ ations from the diseased body. The time was when no water was al­ lowed for drink, though the patient was almost famishing from want of it; but while it is now allowed more than formerly, a similar error exists as to what should be used; ae also in refer­ ence to food, some persisting in cram­ ming the patient, however loathsomo food may be, with the foolish idea that starvation will ensue, or that no strength can be gained. If we add to all this the fact that many are equally crammed with medicines at random, wo need not be surprised at the results, at least while so many kinds are given-- just what may be suggested by ignorant neighbors--with no regard to their ap­ propriateness.-- City and Country. A ReminEseene of the War. "Yes," saidDumley, "I served three years in the war of the rebellion, and i! I do say it myself, I made a good sol­ dier." "You have a very soldierly bearing," said young Brown, admiringly. "So I have been told," replied Dum- ley. "Even to this day," he continued, strains of martial music will set my pulses bounding, and like a war-horse, I scent the battle from afar." "Were you ever wounded, Mr. Dum- ley?" asked Mrs. Simpson-Hendricks, considerably excited. "N-no," he said, "I never was; I was very fortunate in that respect." . "Yes,indeed," ventured younpr Brown, "a gunshot wound is an ugly thing. I suppose you can attribute your good fortune to your nose?" "What has my nose got to do with my not getting wounded?" demanded Dumley. "Why, its--its ability to soent the battle from afar, you know."--Philadel­ phia Call. The Ink Plant. There is in New Grenada Coryaria Thymifolia, which mig dangerous to our ink manufacturers if it could lie acclimatized to Europe. It is known under the name of the ink plant. Its juice, called chanchi, can be used in writing without any previous preparation. The letters traced with it are of a reddish oolor at first, but turn to a deep black in a few hours. The juice also spoils steel pens less than common ink. The qualities of the plant seem to have been discovered under the Spanish administration. Some writ­ ings, intended for the mother country, were wet through with sea water on the voyage; while the papers written with common ink were almost illegible, those with the juice of that plant were quite unspoiled. Orders were given in consequence that this vegetable ink was to be used for all pub&e document*.-- Jfew York Star. a plant, niclit be The Weakest Spot. "How is Mr. Yeast this morning?" asked Crimsonbeak, as the two in question met at the ash barrel the other morning, each with a scuttle of ashes. "Well, with the exception of a little cold in my back," answered Yeast, drop­ ping the coal scuttle as he felt a Colo­ rado blizzard crawl down the center of his back. "I have a oold, too," replied the auburn Crimsonbeak, "but it is in my head. Whenever I get a cold it always seems to affect my head." "Yes, that's just what the doctor told me," rejoined the philanthropist, catch­ ing up his scuttle and starting for the house. "Whenever a person catches cold it is sure to affect the weakest spot." The scuttle aimed at Yeast's head came so near going down Mrs. Crimson- beak's throat, who had come out to look after her husband, that there hasn't been any peace in that household since.

Naturally I looked up and saw above the number 3 an srsthetlo-looklng sign against the front, (for projecting signs are inadmissi­ ble in the great metropolis), on which I read "Dr. Pierce's Medial Ms." At once I gave a little ejaculation of Joy, and fairly rushed Jut;) the shop. Why! I hud been during two v, hole days lamenting the awkwardness of a railway porter, who, in my transit from Sout iampton, after landing, had so carelessly handled my "box" (trunk is also inadmjssib'-e In England) as to break notonly my supply of Dr. Pierre's Golden Medical Discovery, that i hud brought from New York, but all of bis Purgative Pellets (so advisable to ladies in traveling) excepting a bottle I had in my reticule. Tli2 clerk appeared to notice my sat staction as I looked around and saw a portrait of Dr. Pierce, whose acquaintance I had first made at a bail in the White House, when he was Congressman from the fine city of P. ij Halo, and saw pictures of its World's Disiieusary building and of its Invalids' Hotel, is which I had been a guest patient (as we.l, let me add, as a patient guest) during a oourso of treatment with World's Dispensary medklnes which had changed me from a nervous, dyspeptic, fretful woman into the cheerful and healthful traveler I now found at} self to be. The clerk was vastly polite as 1 told him what, a surprise It was to me to And that the boons of my life time had found a home in I^ndon. "Why," he interrupted, with a Biuilo, "tho medicines of which this is the European entrepot have won thousands of grateful patients as enthusiastic as you seem to be." Of course in a short time the mishap with the railway porter was forgot­ ten, and. after giving an order for a now as­ sortment of Ae "Golden Discovery" and "Pellets'* sent to my lodgings in B?rnal street, I was again threading my way through the London crowds. Fatigued with the day's exercise and enjoyment I retired eari.v to bed, and with the pleasant incident, of Oxford street well to the fore in my mind as I fell asleep. What wonder that I dreamed, or that my fancies traveled across the tlnntic to Buffalo and to tae Invalids' Hotel, which had to me the same grateful memories as the church of her marriage has to the happy wife. I seemed to be in a palace oar between Al­ bany and Buffalo, and the newsboy had brouaht me a copy of the marvelous book sold freely on all the trains, "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," by Dr. Pierce, ex-Senator and ex-Congressman. I wa? again reading its pages, expressed, as all medical books for the people should be ex­ pressed, in "plain English," and which Is full of everything relating to the ills which flesh is heir to, so that the book may be well called tho Invalids' Bible and the Testa­ ment for the already strong, who would keep themselves always strong. The book, which takes the child in the cradle through till the ills of nutrition and dentition; tha mother in her agonies; the husband in his depressions; the father in his sufferings from overwork; and shows each and all (and even the practic­ ing physician, who thinks he knows so much and yet has always new things to learn) how the brain is weakened in functions, the lung poisoned, the blood contaminated, the liver made torpid, the heart disarranged, the muscles made rigid, the nerves shattered, and the tissues and sbtorbents infected with the subtle poisons of excesses and malatte. And finally, the precious volume--th»' veriest gospel of health in this world--tarns the reader's attention to the Golden Medical Dis­ covery, that, whether it is used Upou the pores of the body or sent into the channels of the body through tho processes of assimilation and digestion,immediately "cools the brow and tampers the brain, and maketh the faint one strong again." In my dream 1 had arrived at Buffalo, given my book to an interesting invalid of a girl who sat near me, and whose modestly filled purse seemed to forbid her the boon of the b.»ok albeit it was so unusually cheap--six pastes of t he profuse­ ly illustrated book tor each cent of its dollar ana a half cost! And I had boon repaid toy her looks of gratitude. Then in my dream the once familiar sound of "Dr. Pierce's World's Dispensai-y and Invalids' Hotel" was heard from the hoalthy and attentive porters awaiting the arrival of patients. Then I was driven to the old place with its revivifications of architecture and comforts. As I drove up I seemed to see the hotel in a blase of light, and beard music and the sounds of happy voices and of lightly moving feet. More surprised than ever before I was taken in hand by a female attendant--i bright looking as these ever are in dream­ land, and in a moment, as it seemed, was clad in full evening costume, and soon, escorted by an usher, was entering the great dining* room, transformed into a salon of reception. At. one end in huge electric letters I saw the words, "Welcome, restored old patients,"---at the other end, "Dr. Pierce, the Hotel Found­ er,"--in the center of one long side, "Golden Medical Discovery," and along the ceiling, also in electric letters, "Purgative Pellets." As soon as this wonderful spectacle of dreamland had become sufficiently natural- teed to my dazed senses I looked around and saw such happy congratulatory groups as made mc think I was indeed in a phase of Paradise. With words of whispered assur­ ance, the usher led me to the highest por- ^tlon of the room, where sat a Cleopatra-like woman of rare beauty and condescending carriage. "Permit me. oh. Queen of Health, to present to you another of your subjects - she who only a year ago was, without her will, excluded from, but has now re-entered, your dominions." She placed her cool hand in mine, the which as I kissed a thrill of new delight ran over my veins, and with a sceptre- headed with a charmingly cut bottle of silver bearing in monogram the letters "G. M. D.," she touchod both my eyes which seemed to snew drink in the g-orgeous sight around me. "And now," said the Queen of Health, "lot mo present you to tuy Prime Minister." Timed with her gesture to the right, I turned my eyes and thero saw, in evening costume, a robust gentleman of medium stature, who was in physique the very ideal type of American manhood. He seemed tho irerv embodiment f" henl'hfu! vijoroui Vitality, and on his full lofty brow I saw great Indications of comprehensive mental power, sweet benevolence, unvary­ ing courtesy, tender sympathy, and business sagacity. He smiled and extended his hand. When 1 recognized him in the instant, and rushing impetuously towards him seemed in my dream to say, "Oh, Queen, this my pre­ server, my ever to be remembered physician, Dr. Pierce." He greeted me as warmly as I greeted him. At this the music struck up congratulatory chords in unison with the beating of mf heart, and he whispered in my ear, "My begl delight (and to it I have given my life, even at the sacrifice of a public oarer and promised boners) is to benefit those whom Hlness and disease afflict." A. fresh procession of guests arriving at tho foot of the throne of tho Queen of Health, and demand in ir her attention, as it seemed to me in my exhilarating drenin, as well as the attention of her Prime Minister Pierc", 1 re­ ceded with my escort, and was soon min'/linar «ith the happy groups, the members of which seemed beut upon enthusiastically exchang­ ing with each other me-.nories of their happy experience under the advice, whether here or at their homes, or Dr. Pierce, through his books and through his medicines, now eon- trailed by a syndicate of capitalists, under the title of tiro "World's Dispensary Medical Association." "I was a sickly school girl," said one, "ignorant of the very rudiments of., physiology, and a victim internally to my lg* noranee, but the ' Medical Advisor" recom­ menced tho 'Favorite Prescription' and It soon restored mc to bellehood, and her® 1 am, full of health and gratitude." Her escort was a Harvard student, who told me that a short tltne previous he hid been worn by indiscreet' alternations of Boston pleasure-seeking and Cambridge study, a very martyr t© poisoned .blood and dyspepsia,but "Medical Discovery," he joyously added, "not only mad© me what I am, but, by its constant use, keeps me what 1 am." As he moved away with tho young lady, his affianced wife, I oould not but regret the sii pU numbers in sroed society of as hand­ some heatthy young1 fellows as he. "1," re­ marked u plump matron in black velvet: and diamonds, "had ail the world could give mc ex­ cept health. We exhausted the bathe of Europe and spent what to some would I e a fortune on 'eminent* physicians of Paris, until I re­ turned hemo to die. But chance--mere chance, I am now ashamed to say -- threw Dr. Pierce's 'Favorite Prescription' in my way, and all my weaknesses vanished as the dew before the risinar mid-summer sun. In two months I was a well woman." The powerful voice of a baritone, pressed into the service of a song--still In my dream--at one of the grand pianos of the In­ valids' hotel, aroused my wonder, and soon : the possessor of the voice was exciting our? marvel bv the narration of how lie owed It, after a total destruction of voice by bron­ chitis, to an entire reoxygenation of lungs and throat, through "Golden Discovery,".: whioh was now his constant companion.'.

Some had been cured by the raooveryof great eating uleers, that bad gnawed away at their flesh for years deeplte all the usual remedies. Othets had been restored to the full vigor of health after one lung bad been wa6.ea by consumption (which is scrofula of the lungs), and after night-sweats, spitting of blood, and kindred symptoms, had manifested them­ selves. Various forms of scrofulous diseases, as fever-sores, white swellings, and hip-joint disease, had been conquered with the world- famed blood-purifier--Golden Medical Dis­ covery. Presently a bugle from the orchestra gave the summons to supper and all the guests be­ gan to pair. Little Nubian boys in scarlet uniforms (bright as everything bright is in dreamland) then glided In bearing little silken pennons, each exposing the words "Hope in G. M. D.," which they distributed in line of march, and which each guest joyfully bore aloft. Another bugle call for attention, aud I saw two venerable, sweet faced men of Grec an features approaching the Queen of Health, holding in their hands two wreaths of evergreen--the veritable laurel from the Athenian groves. She stepped from her throne, as complaisant lnouarchs do, and raised them to her dais. Another bugle lor silence and she spoke: "My guests, before we eup an interesting ceremony remains. Ho on my right is Hippocrates from the Spirit Land. He on my left is ^Hsculapitis. They come to crown our Dr. Pierce with the great laurels of hisnuble profession--they the great Past Grand Masters of the Healitg Art., who best know who is conqueror of* disease." In a moment Dr. Pierce was about bending his knee in respectful obeisance to these ancient Professors when a gesture from both ar­ rested him, as with dainty bnt dignified mo­ tions they piaced upon bis head the laurel leaves--each saying in a unison of musical monotone, ••Thou art our legitimate suc­ cessor," while a burst of orchestral acclaim \nd a chorus of thanksgiving huzzas from the guests arose. Immediately above this royal and supermiturally looking tableau 1 saw in pillars of rosy light these great words, the motto of the crowned Dr. Pierce, and which reveals the secret, of hia almost divine suc­ cess, "THE BIA)O» IS TH* LIFE." And with that I awoke, in my quaint little lodirings, to find (an unusual thing for Lon­ don at early morning any day) cheery sun­ light streamiug into the room, as there upon my toilet table were my restored adjuncts to continued life and happiness--the Oxford street supply of Golden Medical Discovery, the guarantee of my continuing health.

John Kuhn, of Lafayette, Iud., bad a very narrow escape from death. This is his own story: "One year ago I was in the last stages of consumption. Our best physicians gave my case up. I finally got so low that our doctor said I could not live twenty-four hours. My friends then purchased a bottle of Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs, which ben­ efited me. I continued until I took nine bottles. I am now in perfect health, having used no other medicine."
