In the matter of the chocolate-colored circles about my blue eyes, the whites of which complete the patriotic trinity of red, white and blue --those red rings, of whose origin I have been so often vexed with questions--I will tell a story Wjwcii may save further inquiry. I am enabled to do so by memory of w^at my father used to say, and by reference to notes in a diary which he kept for many years. Some time before I dawned upon this world, and while my spirit was probably walking with the angels with whom I kept company, my dear mother, tired of the monotony of her life at our family •eat in the country, repaired alone to the city to regale herself with a sight of novel ties for a month. My mother sup­ posed that father would soon follow and rejoin her; but in this she was mis­ taken. He gave the housemaid a month's vacation, and was now left en­ tirely alone, sleeping at the house and getting his meals for himself, rather than going to the city or the nearest tavern. He was an odd man, my father was, as I shall presently show. Being lonesome, he thought he would fix up< things about the house to while away time, and surprise my mother by tha improvements when she returned at the expiration of the month. " I think I will do a little paintiug'up, in the lirst place," thought my father. " Paint is not only an ornament, bnt it preserves things. The kitchen floor needs painting. The old color, what remains of it, is yellow ; bnt I am not partial to yellow, and beside, I want a new color, tor novelty. What color would probably most charm my wife ? 1 have not uaioh taste myself, but I have heard peoptexp*ai«e red very highly/ Sunrises, tu^d sunsets, aad comets, are often approved of by good judges, for being red. iitxi is said to bo the most showy and effective military and dramat­ ic color. I have seen some very baud- •some red flags at auction and railroad stations. Ked lips and cheeks are al­ ways in the fashion. Then there is the led, red ro«e; ami then there is my red handkerchief, the handsomest and larg- •mb I have got. I will paint the floor red; and, now that I reflect upon the supreme beauty of red, I will buy enough, and no doubt I fcliall find .good use for it.™ So my father went and bought a great quantity of red paint, and had it mixed And .seni with brushes to the house. 4'1 will do all the painting myself that 1 care to have d«ne," thought my father, when the bloody fluid blushed beneath his smiling eves. "It will be a light, pleasing exercise, and my wife will be more deiigtited when she finds that I have done all the ornamentation without help. How lovely that red looks ! It appeals to me that all the white paint on the other woodwork in the kitchen looks as dingy now as the floor. What a capital idea it would be to paint it all red, now that I happen to have so much of it J I will do sa The kitchen, all of .that oolor, wilt! be the handsomest room in the house. Hut 4he main thing is the floor." So my ardent father hastily began and painted the floor first, forgetting that it would cause him to wait until it was dry, or make tracks over it, or lay inconvenient planks, if he painted ail tit© rest of the kitchen. He saw tbe mi^tttke he had made vheok he began to jxt.ut the doors. Tiie fresh paint ou the floor stuck to his soles, and the mark** uf his flaming footsteps, like those of some destroying angel, hot from home, were everywhere and con- fuKetL They did some little damage to tho carpets in other rooms, and this confused liim some; but nay father was not a mun to stand for trifles, and, knowing that he could pj< at the floor *>ver a^uin, he went on v» un the other work. He had the tools, material, in­ dustry and ambition to please, and these wern something for an amateur. So, sticking as he went, my father covered all the doors with a flaming coat, inside and out, his pleasure increasing with the alteration he caused ; and then proceeded to make his mark on all the remainiug woodwork, including the win­ dow frames, sills and sashes, shutters, closet shelves, thresholds, the mantel­ piece and sink ; and then, thonght he, 44 Why not the walls, to complete the thing and make it uniform ?" And so the walls stood up and received their share ; and then, as the hearth and locks . and bolts and doors seemed by their na­ kedness to disturb the harmony, he paint­ ed them. "By glory!" thought my father, greatly delighted with the marvelous change he had created, " if here isn't a whole sunrise in a box. What a little paint will do if well laid on, and of the right color! I shall like to live in this room. Neat, cheerful, uniform and splendid at the same time. I must paint the floor over again to hide my tracks; but let me see this time if I have finished up everything else first. No. I have not These kitchen chairs and ta­ bles all want painting badly. I wonder I hadn't thought of them first. But they most certaiuly shan't be neglected as long as I have so much paint and of such a color, too. What a thing is the sim­ ple article of paint! What a tailor is to a man a painter is to a house; but peo­ ple don't seem to know it. Even I have just found it out. I should think a man might make a fortune if he went about with paint pot and brushes and adopted my idea and astonished folks with the change it .makes. Worse conceptions than this have been patented, and the accident of a happyj thought enables many to roll in riches and immortal clover." After due rest between jobs as he pro­ ceeded, my dear father gave the tables and chairs a touch of his quality, and for a while he was in doubt whether the last job was not an immense improve­ ment on the preceding ones. He stood off ana examined, and then i •hut his eyea and imagined. "No," he concluded, "neither can! elaim precedence. Each is admirable In itself, and yet each is neoessary to \ tbe other, to give it complete effect. I i wonder what kind of an artist I should have made. It strikes me I have vastlv more taste than I thought, and I think I should be distinguished for what they call coloring. But am I done yet? There is more paint left. I wish this kitchen was twice as big. I don't f-.*el quite satisfied yet. Isn't there some­ thing more to make the beauty still more beautiful, and the liarmony more harmonious ? There is ! I have it. I see there is. Why, bless me ! I haven't begun to be done yet. Why not paiut all the wooden utensils which belong to kitchen uss? I'll do it, if I have to send for more paint. How thought ex­ pands by exercise. At first I thought only of the floor ; and now, pooli! it is the last and least of my thoughts ; but I thank the .floor for leading to these ideas." In this happy mood my father re­ sumed his decorative work on wood, and engaged himself busily for several days, during which he was obliged to send for even more paint than he had bought at first, to enable his busy brush to adorn baskets, knife-tray, bread-trough, spice- ihortar, rolling-pin, dough-stick, salt- box ; wash, ironing and knife-boards ; ^clothes-horse, sleeve-board, pails, buck- eta, barrels, kegs, firkins, tubs, benches, brooms and brushes » and after whatever else could be painted without being ;-'"ulered unfit for use had been painted, •• ••oneluded to finish off by reddening • ivhole store-room, from which most LII i.nem had been drawn. " I have done enough already," thought <ny lather, "to make my wife thankful; but then I have a great deal more paint on .hand, and I can see plainly that much remaius to be done. Now, why not paint the outside of the rear of the L of the house, where the kitchen is, as high up the eaves, to corre^popd ?" This lie did, auil then thought the job would look like patchwork, unless all the outside of the L were given the same hue. And this, too, he did, and having included the L roof and chim­ ney, he then added the rear porch, its loot and railing, and admitted that the liberality was not to be repented, but would not lie a complete, hvmmetrical triumph unless assisted by the painting < i the house, embracing in a grand red sum-tolal, rool's, chimneys, spouts, walls, doors, poiticos, railings, pillars, window frames aud trellises. And 'all these, also, he did with his own hand, his red right hand, for it may be readily imagined that his hand could not have been very much of any other eolor, immersed as he was in such a wholesale work, and my father's diary itself stntes that sometimes he felt so tired, and the paint stuck so, and there was so much yet to be done, he did not think it necessary to clean the paint from his hands at the close of the day, but slept in them as they were, often dream- . ing that he was a white maa with ma­ hogany hands, the color seeming to have impregnated the very essence of hi* being. Occasionally I am inclined to doubt my own judgment, or I should not hesi­ tate to declare that my father seems to have been somewhat odd in this persis­ tent fancy for red paint, but, in order to remove the possibility of such an idea in others, I will simply state that his pro­ ceedings were perfectly natural through­ out He was a very affectionate man, and the absence of his wife, in search of nov­ elty, led him at the outset to plan the kitchen part of his surprise, to make up for any shortcomings on his part, by giving her an excess of pleasure when she returned. This at once removes his kitchen work from all suspicion of singu­ larity. And now, as to the -excess of red which followed. My father had daily written her a letter, hoping she was hav­ ing a good time, but my mother never replied, being vexed at his not coming himself, and her continued silence, nat­ urally rendering him uneasy, led him.' as it were, to drown his sorrow by a still more profuse indulgence in red paint Fortunately, he was not a drinking man and it was not brandy, or lie Laiglit have painted himself instead of the house. The house--and so forth; for having got as Car as*I have stated, he sent for still more paint, no letter having come yet, and, like one determined to give a fiery aspect to all he owned, he set to .work with unabated ardor, and painted the barn, sheds, coops, sty and well- house, all the gates and fences, and tkeu the trunks of all the trees, as high as he could reach, to keep the worms off, and perfec' color. perfect the prer iep tne •ailing consistency of The month was now up, and still my mother did not come, nor yet a letter. At tliis period, I think a slight oddity did really begin to appear in the conduct of my father. Summer was coming, and, reflecting that the whole of the inside of the house had not yet been painted, his diary says that he deliberated one whole forenoon, aud then thought how cool it would be to do away with carpets, aud have all the floors painted for naked use during the warm season. Acting upon this, he took up all the carpets, and painted every floor in the house, and, in his haste to finish before my motaer should arrive, he so daubed the walls and some of the furniture that he painted them too, embracing bedsteads, bu­ reaus, toilet-tables, wash stands, cor­ nices, with all the wood-work, in all the kitchen style of universal flame. And still my mother did not appear. I have heard my father say that dur­ ing that particular period, while his last batch of paint was drying, he did not feel anxious for her to come. I do not doubt his intentional veracity upon acy point, but I think his memory failed him in that instance; and that, in his sorrow that the paiut spoiled some of her dresses when she did come, he forgot how he had longed for her. For my mother did come before the last paint was dry. My father was on his knees, in a suit that he had spoiled, red as a butcher, but innocent as a lamb, engaged in painting the flagstone walks in front of the house, and proposing to paint the ceilings of the house, if time should yet admit, when a carriage drove up, and my mother, so long absent, alighted at the gate--the red front gate, set in that long, red front fence, In front of that fiery red house, with the flaming L, and the burning trees, and walks not quite kindled into a complete glow. I am the only son of the oouple who then met, but I feel incapable of doing justice to their emotions at that junct­ ure. I believe I have the idea in my head, but my pen is not equal to my father's brush, and can but darkly shadow forth what that brush oc­ casioned. Forgetting his sanguinary appearance, he rushed down toe red walk, and through the red gateway, and embraced her, brush in hand, before she had fairly recognized him or the house. . She shrieked, and gave him a push, dis­ covering his identity at the same time that she began to aoold him far aoiling her dress. "Never mind that; look at the house, Eliza," said he. Her name was Eliza. "Look at the house and things, Eliza," said my father, expecting an immensity of delight and praise, as he saw her hold up her hands in dumb as­ tonishment "I haven't been idie wlijle you were gone, believe me. But this is nothing--mere nothing, that you see. Only come inside. I say nothing. That will speak for itself." 1 And so it did. ! I was told my mother did not say a | word till she went inside and knew the worst And then my father knew it He was appalled at her appallment, and Btunned and stung by her loud and pierc- ing expressions of horror, gri< f and dis­ gust She said he, had done these crimes purposely, in revenge for her ab­ sence and delay. He said he had pur­ posed it, but thought such a combina­ tion of novelty with beauty would en­ rapture her and thus reward him for a month of slavery. Even the kitchen, upon which he had chiefly prided him­ self, she declared looked like the kitchen of some demon ; and, when the kitten, once white, but, lay falling into a paint- pot, had become red, ran up to her, my mother shrieked at the apparition and ran behind a red chair. It was an awful day for my father, and no less <sd for my dear mother ; for alas ! for her,*fot him and for me, when by-and-by she traversed all the house, and saw what he had ruined, she became suddenly overcome, and doctors and nurses were Bent *for with all possible alacrity. i have but a few words to say, but those embrace a fact of considerable im­ portance to me. On the following day I was born. Whether the hate of my mother for red paint had anything to do with my eyes others may judge. For my own part, I am thankful for my escape from being born Indian, or from having eyes as red as a white rabbit's. DR.

The Woman Who Wrote " Evelina." In 1752 Frances Burney was boru. Nothing iu her childhood indicated that she would, while still a young woman, secure for herself an honorable place among English writers. She was shy and silent. Her brothers and sisters called her a dunce, and not without some show of reason ; for at eight years of age she did not know her letters. An education, however, which to most girls would have been useless, but which suited Fanny's mind better than elaborate culture, was in constant progress during her passage from childhood to woman­ hood. The great book of human nature was turned over before her, and every marked peculiarity instantly caught her notice and remained engraven on her imagination. When she was fifteen her father took a second wife, and the new mother insisted that nothing could be more disadvantageous to a young lady than to be a novel-writer; so Frances relinquished her" favorite pursuit and made a bonfire of her manuscripts. Although the propensity for writing was for a time kept down, it again rose stronger thanjpver. The heroes and heroines of tales which had i>erished in the flames were still in her mind. By degrees these shadows required stronger and stronger consistence ; the impulse to write became irresistible, and the re­ sult was the famous history of "Evelina." HOW VOI LD TOTE.

Too Conscientious for a Doctor's Boy. A physician ought to be specially care­ ful in the selection of a servant. This servant should not be dressed in black, for that would be too suggestive, but in garments of neutral tint, the sympol of uncertainty. He ought not to be the possessor of a cadaverous vise age, lest he give the impression that those who enter the doctor's office must abandon hope. Neither should he lie florid and rotund, as though sickness was not a serious thing. He should occupy the golden mean between the gay and the grave. He ought not. moreover, to be excessively truthful, lest he injure the practice of his employer. We have heard of a servant who was wholly unfit for his position simply because he positively could not tell a lie. A stranger who had sudden illness at home asked : "Is the doctor in?" "No, sir," was his quick reply. "Tell me, has the doctor a great many patients?" The servant became pale, but slowly and solemnly replied : " Not many living, sir." Then the stranger turned sadly away and sought a doctor whose servant had less resemblance to the Father of his Country.--Rubber Era. A COLT you may break, but an old horsa you never can.

It know of no principle which it is of more importance to fix in the minds of young people than that of the most de­ termined resistance to the encroach­ ment of ridicule. Give up the world, and to the ridicule with which the world enforces its dominion, every trifling question of manner and appearance, it is to toss courage and firmness to the winds, to compass with the mass upon such subjects as these. But learn from the earliest to insure yourself against the jx rils of ridicule ; you can no more exercise your reason, if you live in the constant dread of laughter, than you can enjoy your life if you are in constant dread of death. ^ t If you think it right to differ from the times and to make a stand for any valu­ able point of morals do it, however rus­ tic, however antiquated, however pedan­ tic it may appear, do it,--not for insol­ ence, but grandly and seriously--as a man who wore a soul of his own in his bosom, and did not wait until it was breathed into him by the breath ef fashion. Let men call you mean, if you know you are just; hypocritical, if you are honestly religious ; pusillanimous,if you feel that you are firm; resistance soon converts unprincipled wit into sincere respect, and no aftertime can tear from you these feelings which every man car­ ries with him who has made a noble and successful exertion in a virtuous cause. --Sidney Smith.

Most of our invalids are such, snd many healthy jjepple will become in­ valids, for want of paying the most or­ dinary attention to the requirements of the skin. The membrane is too often regarded as a covering only instead of a complicated piece of machinery, scarcely second in its texture and sensitiveness to the ear and the eye. Mauy treat it with as little referenoe to its functions as if it were only a bag for their bones. It is this consideration for the skin that is the cause of a very large proportion of the disease of the world. It is claimed by some scientists that four-fifths in the bulk of all we eat and drink, must either pass off through the skin or be turned back upon the system as a poison, and j life depends as much upon these exhala- ! tions tiirough the skin as inhaling pure ! air through the lungs; it must therefore j be of vital importance to keep the chan­ nel free. * _ " FOB two years I «n a great sufferer from Kidney Complaints.

He says : I firmly believe that Ala n's Lun'j liaham will and has cured con­ sumption if taken iu time and proper care be tai>en of the patient both in suitable food and elotiuiu'. Six ye'irs ago my mother was at­ tacked with pneumonia. The attending physi­ cian, "some time after," told me that tho clis- ••ase had settled on her lungs and that she had the consumption. Not tielicvmg that a perma­ nent cure could bo effected, but thinking I ink'hi be able to get an expectorant not con- tuiniiig opiuui which would afford some relief, I inqu.red of a druggist at Richmond, Va., if In- had any medicine not containing opium, that was a good expectorant, lie then recom­ mended Alien'j Lung Balsam, which I pur- cliHsed and induced my mother to try. Before t-he had i alien the first bottle the improvement in her condition wts so marked tuat I pur­ chased tt.ree more bottles. The attending physician, feeing the beneticial effe -tw, recom­ mended its continued use, and in about twelve mouths her lungs were pronounced cured. Upon my recommendation many others who had tlie consumption have been cured. I thii.k vou can cluini for your medicine the following : Expectoration without irritation, and heating of the lungs by keeping them free from foreign ci:bounces, thus arresting aud curiiig this dread disease. BIr. Diggos says he writes be­ cause he wants us to know that Alien's Lung Balsam is'doing good. Da. WINCHELL'S Teething Syrup has never failed to give immediate relief when used in cases of Summer Complaint, Cholera-infantum, or pains in the stomach.

A STOBY which, if true, adds one more item to the list of dangers to which hu­ manity is exposed, is going the rounds of the English press. It in gravely as­ serted that a coast guard pacing his beat along the lonely shore near Eastbourne was suddenly attacked by a seal, and escaped with his life only through pi ompt and vigorous manipulation of a sword-cane with which he chanced to be provided^ BUTTER is being brought from Russia to England in large quantities, and is of very fair quality. a . . * CONSUMPTION j: i I Imperlnat to the I*ub!ic its w Med­ ical ProlVniioR.

" C.-Iieumpkoti usually begina with a sii^ht, dry congh In the morning; then, on coins .ti> bed.fetK'ng mare and mora frequent, with more ami more phlegm, increasing debility, thinnvm of fl-sh, Bh rtr.e-^ of breath, and quickness of pulse. In fatal its average coarse is about two years ^ henc<> tiie importance of arresting the disease at as early a 6t«£e as possible, and t o sooner rational xne.tns are employed for tkhfirpM the greater the chi nee of success. The disease is owing t > an iirita- Uon commencing in the throu and extending to the lungs, so tint their action is interfered with, an 1 the blood do-.'S not receive satfi ira'. oxyg.m to purify it. The most marked pignof lungd se se is em:ic^ition; and the most posiUre indication of returning health is increase in weUht." , So speaks Hairt Journal uf Health, and we nwy add that in desperate esses, and. in fact, in all cases of Con snmption.or troubles of the throat and hrifrs, immedia'c relief may be obtained and a permanent cure effected by the use of Dr. Wm. HaU's Balsim for the Lungs, a' medicine known for more than thirty-five years as an nnfailing remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and a!: pulmonary and pectoral diseases. That the worst ca«» of Consumption have been cured by the use of Hail't Balsam has been attested to by the thousands who nsed it, or have been cognisant of its wonderful remad a! efficacy. RBKCrED FROtT DEATH. William J.Coughlin.of Sonlerville, Haas., says: la tha fall of 1879 I was taken with Heeding oi tiie tangs, fol­ lowed by a aevere congb. I lost my apyi<t?te and flesh, an.) waa oonfined to my bod. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said 1 had a hole in my lung as big as a half dollar.
