" A PERFECT ajIfsSat.
BT MISS EDNA IL C-
A inier, sir ; a miser! It ia bad
enough to mo cd old man avaricious
and earing, but in a man of Stephen
Bascomb's age it is nimplj contemp
tible!" !
Tbe old lawyer who epoke was one
wboabad known Stephen Bascombj
from a dot, and he looked his indig
nation as plainly as be epoke it. His
companion, an old friend be bad
met at Long Branch, had commented
opon the very cheap apparel of tbe
young man so severely criticised.
Now be apoke again.
Bat is he wealthy as they say ?"
"He inherits half a million under
the will of his uncle, Cbaa. Bawomb.
I drew up the will myself, and more
than tbat.I manage tbe estate. Witb
fiuch a fortune at his command, Ste
phen Bascomb lires in half a room
in a small baarding house, weara tbe
tbe cheapest apparel to be found in
New York, and boards bis money.
I pnt it in tbe bank when I collect
hia rents and interests, and there it
lies. I hate Rucb a niggardly spirit
as that." ...
"Bat be comes to Long Branch."
"That's the odd part of it. lie
haunts tbe best society, and tbe beat
society courts him, knowing bis real
wealth, and attributing his manners
to eccentricity. Eccentricity ! Rub
bish!" "I like him, for all," said Mr. Rus
sell, tbe companion of the old law
yer. Judge Ellerton, "I like bim."
"Of course you do," snapped tbe
judge, "everybody does. lie is tbe
very soul of honor, a man of un
doubted talent, brilliant. in conversa
tion, and a perfect gentleman. Be
fore his uncle died be was one of tbe
most fastidioas and elegant men I
ever knew. Now took at bim."
Mr. Hassell looked. lie was lean
ing against tbe pillar of tbe porch, a
tall, handsome man of twenty-five, ia
an ill-biting suit of coarse material,
gloveless, with elean but cheap linen
and a common straw bat. And yet
a man wbo carried bis head erect,
and looked at tbe world from a pair
of large, brown eyes that wore the
fearless, honest look of a man who
carried an easy conscience.
As those same eyes looked out
over the groups opon the beach, tbey
suddenly lighted with a flash of ra
diant pleasure, then shaded gravely
until tbey expressed only a proud
sadness. Mr. Russell, following tbeir
glance, found it rested upon bis own
niece, bis pride and darling, Edna.
She was eomiog toward tba porch,
but was still at some distance.
"Ellerton," be said suddenly
"have you no reason to ascribe
Stephen Bascomb's eccentricity, as
you call it, to any other cause than a
mere avaricious spirit ?"
Tbe old lawyer looked keenlr into
the face of his friend.
"An odd question," be said very
gravely.
"But one I bops you will answer.
You know bow dear Edna is to me,
and you may have seen aha accepts
Stephen Bascomb's attentions witb
pleasure. lie bas spoken do word
jet to bind ber to bim, and yet be
loves ber. Would you give a daugh
ter of your own Into his keeping V
"A year ago I would have said yes,
with all my bean. But now, aiace
his uncle died he is so changed
and vet "
"There, there, tell me what I know
is near your l!ps. Is it all meanness,
or is there some other motive r "
"In Charles Bascomb's will there
was a sealed letter for his nephew,
to be delivered after tbe will was
read. I delivered it. "What it con
tained I never knew."
"H'm! It's a queer world."
Stephen Bascomb tboogbt it was a
queer world, too, as be sauntered in
to tbe hotel just as Edna Russell
reaoaed tbe porch steps. He saw
tbe look of pained surprise ia ber
eyes, and yet be weat from ber.
though his beart , went out to ber
witb all its burden of love. In bis
own room be took from bis bosom a
sealed letter, broke tbe eonlning wax,
and read It slowir,'
"Only this to burn,", he thought,
"and lore, wealth and happiness are
mine. I have searched faithfully.
But mf time of probation is only
commenced. If Edna knew, she
shall know. , She shall at least know
liow I lore ber !" ' ' . '
Full of bis new resolutions, Ste
phen Bascomb once more sought tbe
porco, waere Ldna still lingered by
ber uncle's aide.: She was a lovely
girl of about juneteon. witb violet,
yea, and auburn hair tbat clustered
ia sunny ringlets above a low. broad
brow. Without startling beauty.ber
I ace was winsome, ao4 It bad charm
ed Stephen Baaeosib from the first
Hour when bis eyes rested opon it
Tbe afternoon sun was areepiag to
the wide porch, and moat of tbe
- guests of tbe hotel were enjoying a
nap before tbe evening should can
them out of their rooms ia sll tbe
glories of foil dress. Edna herself
was thinking of going up stairs,
wbru Stephen joined ber uncle.
There was an earnestness tbat was
ali iaet solemnity in the young man's
fac aa be raxe forward, and bis
words were scarcely lover-like though
they made Edna's beart throb with
agitation.
"Will you eraot me an interview
in your private parlor, Mr. Russell T"j
be said, "and will you, Miss l.aa.
join us? I wish to t-peak to you
both before I leave for .Saratoga."
Wondering, Edna olyed, leaning
upon ber uncle's arm, but opon Mr.
Russell's face there was a strange,
tender smile, as if be was scarcely
surprised at tbe summons. Once
seated in the small private parlor,
Stephen Bascombe, in manly straight
forward words told his love story,
but be kept bis eyes resolutely from
Edna's face, asking no answer to dis
confession.
"I should do wrong to ask for a
return of love," be said steadily,
"unless I told too exactly bow I am
situated. Tbe world believes me a
rich man, I know myself a pauper.
Tbe fortune mr uncle left me I bold
in trust for bis oaugbter."
"True. I never beard of bis mar
riage until I read tbe letter be left
for me in bis wilL N ben he was a
very young man, not twenty, he
married a West India heiress, a eirl
of sixteen, eloping with her. At Key
West, where tbe young couple were
bidioir for three montbs, tnty were
found at last br tbe bride's father,
wbo took ber home and obtained a
legal separation, on the ground
that both bride and groom were under
e-
"Still bit uuclc hovered about the
bouse, and saw bis wife as be still
considered ber, often, hot secretly,
until after bis child, a little eirl, was
born. Then tbe father carried both
mother and child to Europe, leaving
my uncle in ignorance of tbeir d
parture. For years he vainly tried
to Cod some ;lew to his wife's where
abouts, sod his own conviction ot
ber faithful love, bis own adherence
to tbe perfect legality of bis mar
riage, kept bim from ever taking an
other woman into bis beart or his
home. And be loved me very dear
ly, and trusted me implicitly. So,
l-y bis will, be baa left me his beir,
bile by a letter of trust be charges
me to seek bis wife and child, and if
I find tbem, transfer the property to
which tbey are emitted, to them.
"Only a letter of trust!" said Mr.
Russell, slowlv : "then vou are not
bound in any war."
"Only by my honor, sir," was tbe
quiet reply.
Hat tbe old gentleman understood
ia the glance and tbe tone how firm
ly this bond held Stephen Bascomb.
"And what clews have you by
which to trace this visionary couple?
Is yur whole life to b spent in tbe
quest?"
"yo. If in ten yea's tbey are not
found I am to consider myself my
uncle's beir. In tbe meantime I
spend from tbe income of his estate
only what is absolutely necessary to
my search. Judging that tbe widow
and daughter are people of fashion
and standing, I have commenced my
search at the watering places, where
so many West Indians are found
every summer."
"H'm yes. How will voa know
them if you find them?"
"Tbe mother's maiden name was
Rionda "
Edna started, while her face grew
deadly pale, but Stephen did not see
ber agitation as he continued.
"I do not think my uncle knew
bow bis child was named, but Miss
Rionda's name was Natalie. Iu tbe
letter was enclosed ariBg, set witb
diamonds. If I find my uncle's wife
she will have a companion ring."
"Edna, said Mr. Russell, very
quietly, "will you get me your moth
ers ring :"
Tbe young girl, pale to her lips,
glided away to tbe next room, and
Mr. Russell said gravely :
"Stephen Bascomb, you did well
to give me your confidence to prove
to me what an honorable man loves
tor niece. Were vou a pauper, I
would be a proud man to call you
my son. I am Natalie Rionda's step
brother. Her mother was my moth
er, though my father died when I
was a child. My mother married
Hernandez Rionda, a wealthy West
India sugar planter, but wben Na
talie was but ten years of age, her
own mother died. I was then at Har
vard College, and I never returned
to Cuba after my mother's death. It
was not until my stepsister died, in
raris, some six years ago, tbat I
beard from ber tbe story of her mar
riage. Hernandez Kionda died a
poor man, and Natalie sent for me,
begging my love and protection for
ber child. I need uot tell you bow
dear Edna soon became to me : and
my own wealth was suQicient to
make me independent of her father's
assistance. Natalie never blamed
ber busband ; and, liko biinselt, con
sidered ber marriage a sacred tie,
binding tbem for life. She suffered
persecution at ber father's hands be
cause she refused to accept offers
from others, wbo believed ber to be a
widow."
"Tben it is to Edna I am to trans
t tbe property I bold ia trust," said
Stephen, eagerly.
"No. You are to bold it. Destroy
tbat letter, or give it to me."
SteDhen ailentlv handed the letter
to tbe old gentleman. Very care
fully be read it through, tben struck
a match and burned it iu the empty,
open grate.
"So ends tbat chanter," be Said.
"You love Edna. The property in
your hands becomes bers, in a meas
ure, as your wife, and can be willed
to ber as your widow, and no ques
tions will be asked. But it you trans
fer it to ber, do you not see that this
whole miserable story will be public
talk, will be twisted and distorted,
and Edua's name bandied about upon
tbe tongue of every gossip."
"1 see, and I appreciate the gener
osity ot your decision. You sball
never regret your trust in me."
' "I bare no fear. Here comes Edna,
and here is Natalie's rinrv Tot it on
your finger, Edna, and it as your
mother wore it, as a token of undy
in love. Stephen has tbe compan
ion." . "Here 1" said Stephen, taking tbe
glittering jewel from bis pocket-book,
and slipping it on bis finger.
"May your love bare no cloud no
separation," said Mr. Russell, sol
emnly, leaving tbe room as be spoke,
whild Edna crept into ber lover's
outstretched arms.
Judge Ellerton never exactly un
derstood tbe sudden change in bis
wealthy vouog client, but he willing
ly obeyed bis letter, bidding him re
open Charles Bascomb's splendid
house, nd Gt It up for the retorn of
tbe bridal couple after tbeir extended
wedding tour in the fall. Bat be
shakes bis bead gravely wben bis
old friend Russell asks bim about tbe
avarice and miserly habits of bis
new nephew, and says, sagely : ' '
"He fell la Jove, Russell ! His
affection for bis uncle's money gave
way before bis love for your pretty
niece, sod ber smiles worked a cure.
But it is none tbe less true that for
more than a year after be became
sole beir to hall a million ot money,
Stephen Bascomb was a perfect miser
a perfect miser."
And John Russel shakes bis head
points to Edna, in ber splendid boms
with every luxury at her command,
and refuges to believe such scan

A case arising under a law of 1730
subjecting magixtrateaor ministers to
a penalty of 50 who marry minors
without their parents' consent was
concluded in tbe common pleas court
yesterday. John and Mary Griffin
sued Alderman Joseph A. Butler
for penalty, he having untied their in
fant son cf seventeen years to the la
dy of bis choice. Tbe defence was
tbat defendant bad not knowingly
and willfully married the young man
against bis parents' wishes and there
fore was not liable. Mrs. Q. on tbe
trial swore tbat 6be bad never given
her consent and tbe young man ad
milted tbat su:h was tbe case and
tbat be had deceived tbe alderman.
In cbareinir tbe jury tbe judge cued
the amendment of 181, which makes
a verbal message sent by parents to
magistrates sufficient evidence of con
sent to tbe marriage. He also called
attention to tbe fact tbat under the
law of 1871 tbe marriage must have
been performed without tbe knowl
edge and consent ot tbe parents,
willfullv and knowingly on me part
of tbe magistrate. Therefore, it tbe ,
jury believed tbe magistrate received
m good faun tbe metutage wbicn pur
ported to come from the mother, and
believed it to be true they should find
for the defendant. Under this charge
they found for dclendant.
As tbe amendment ot 1871 virtu
al U repeals tbe act of 1730, no Gret

need to secure penect leucity is xo

raptarlwa Wild Home.
Sheriff Coon, W. F. Scribner, W.
P. Morgan, Thomas Earnest, and
Steve and Charley George, were out
last week after wild horses. Tbey
went about twenty-five miles north
east of Fort Collins but a tew miles
east of Pierce station, on the Denver
and Pacific I'ailroad. There tbey
made their headquarters. Within
two miles of camp tbey never failed
to find a hand of wild horses. Ma
ny a long chase they had ; but they
finally succeeded in capturing teo
bead. A great many animals were
seen. Some of them were valuable
and fleet of foot Three bead chal
lenged tbe admiration of tbe entire
party. One wa9 a black mare.large,
well proportioned, and beautiful, and
tbey chased ber over forty miles but
couldn't catch ber. With this fine
mare was a colt which seemed to be
a full-blooded Norman. These two
are certainly valuable stock if they
could be captured. Tbe other horse
was a dark stallion tbat would not
weigh much over three hundred
pounds. His mane reached down to
bis knees and bis foretop to his nos
trils, and resembled a Shetland pony.
He ia said to be a beauty. One wild
band was seen which seemed to be
composed entirely of large Amejican
stock, and undoubtedly contained
many valuable animals.
These borees are as wild as ante
lope and ibe strategy used to get
near tbe latter has to be employed
with the former.
Tbe bunter must conceal himself
behind bis horse until he gets as near
to the herd as possible, when, quickly
mounting, be must dash into tbe herd
like lightning, cntting it in two, and
starting a portion of it in tbe direc
tion of tbo camp. No time must be
lost, or tbe wiid animals will escape.
His companions, however, will assist
in tbe mad ride back to camp, which
is an attempt to drive the game into
a corral. 1 f successful, tben the work
of roping tbe apimals is begun, and a
right lively job it generally proves
to be.
Tbe wildest of horses were tied to
the weakest, and thus sll were driv
en to town without much trouble.

A friend of mine who bas facili
ties for knowing what passes in court
circles, tells me tbat tbe Princess
Louise (Marchioness of Lome) is a
firm believer in spiritualism, and that
during tbe time tbe newspapers were
full of most sneering references to
Slade, Her Highness summoned him
to ber side, had numerous seances
witb bim, and treated him with all
manner of consideration.
Apropos of Louise, the gossips
have not yet done talking of tbe cu
rious fact tbat on the opening of Par

tbe royal coach with tbe Queen ; but
or all tbe lords, knights, gentlemen
wbo took part in tbe pageant, there

Tbe anomalous position wbieb be oc

but this is a bit of exclusive remi

eling agent fur Simmons' Liver Reg
ulator, was murdered a few aaye ago
near Campbell Court House, Vir
ginia. Tbe murdered man was la
seen in Chatham, Pittsylvania coun
ty, about a week ago, and he tben
nrstiwiaml dririnir ihrous-h the ad
joining county towards Lynchburg.
Siveral days later a gentleman, m
passing along a road near Campbell
Court House, noticed a horse, attach
ed to a falling-top carriage, tied to a
tree. Later in tbe day, passing tbe
same spot, tbe gentleman saw tbe
horse still standing in the same po
sition. Haviug occasion to. pafS
along tbe road tbe following morn
ing be was surprised to see tbat tbe
borne and carnage baa not oeen re
moved. Unable to account for tbe
apparent desertion of what was evi
dently valuable property, tbe gentle
man transferred the horse and car
riage to bis own stable and advertis
ed for the owner. Tbe following
day a party of men were buntiog in
the vicinity , of Campbell - Court
House, when tbeir dogs began exci
tedly scratching the ground wbere
tbe earth had evidently been recently
turned, and not more than a hun
dred yards away from where tbe
horse and carriage were found. The
dogs' endeavors soon exposed to
view tbe body of a well dressed
young man, which when exhumed,
was uurecognized by any of the res
idents of tbe vicinity. Subsequent
ly people who bad met C. Rodman
Hii-ka in Chatham identified the re
mains as those of the traveling agent
for Simmons' Liver Regulator. The
Sheriff of Fittsylvania county, Wm.
I. Overbey, interested himself in an
investigation of tbe matter, and ar
rived at the conclusion that Hicks
bad been murdered by two negro
tramps, wbo upon tbe evening of tbe
day of which tbe horse and carriage
were found, bought tickets in Lynch
burg for Chattanooga, Tenn., via tbe

Beach Creek, Pa., April 1G. A
quarrel, which may yet result in tbe
death of a daughter at the bands of a
mother, occurred in "The Ridges," a
few miles up March creek, Friday.
Mrs. Jacob Walker is known among
ber neighbors as a "devlish kind of a
woman," and seems to be possessed
of a decidedly turbulent temper, hev
iog frequent unpleasantnesses with
all the members of her family, ; but
devoting the greater part of r ber
splenetic attentions to Jacob, who is
ber second busband. frequently driv
ing bim from the bouse. Yesterday,
in one of her rageful humors, she at
tacked him, and made such threaten
ing demonstrations with a butcher
knife as to cause tbe interference of
two of ber daughters, one aged about
thirteen years and tbe other a full-
grown woman. I pon this tbe en
raged woman turned upon the girls,
and being baffled in ber murderous
attempts by tbe older one, seized the
younger and attempted to cut ber
throat, mulcting severe gashes which
ma v yet cause death. The girl suc
ceeded in getting away from ber,
however, and is still living.

What is tbe Chinese language? It
is tbe chief among tbe first small
classes of language, which includes
tbe Thibetiao, Cjcbin-Cbioese, and
which is usually described as mony
syllabic. It is a language in its
most archaic form. Every word is a
root, and every root is a word.- It is
without inflection or even agglutina
tion. Iu substantives are indeclina
ble, and its verbs are not to be con
jugated. It ia destitute af an alpha
bet, ana nods us expression ou paper
in tbousanda of distinct symbols.
No wonder, then, that it bas been a
cause of surprise and perplexity to
many ! But iu a country so full of
anomilies and paradoxes wbere, as
one writer says, "Tbe roses bare no
fragraoce, aud the women no petti
coats ; where the laborer bas no Sab
bath ; where tbe roads have no vehi
cles, and tbe ships no keels ; , wbere
the needle points to the south ; where
tbe sign of being puzzled is to scratch
the antipodes of tbe bead; wbere tbe
place of honor is on tbe left band,
and tbe seat ot intellect is in the
stomach; wbere to take off vour
bat ia an insolent gesture, ' and . to
wear white garments is to put your
self ia mourning ; we ought not to be
astonished to find a literature with
out an alphabet and a language
without a grammar. ' "Here, then,"

not made the best of themselves.
All this of course ; there are menial
aad moral infirmities as well aa bodily.-
Tbe aokle-bubes of the soul are
often weak, and that is toe very reas
on why tbey need help. .';'.'-
, We can lift by tbe presence of tbe
hand, the glance of tbe eye, tbe
cheering word ; and as we try to lift,
our good - will aod sympathy will
caiee new tides of happiness and life
to flow through . the long helpless
soul, and be who was crippled shall
stand erect
But if be do not at ooee respond to
our lifting touch, or if be rise to fall
again, we roust not give , up. . Thiok
bow many timea God has : to lift us
up, ye lie is not discouraged.
There are all sorts and classes of
Christians ; there are emotional
Christiana and contemplative Christ
ians and Christians of action ; - there
are rich Christians and poor Christ
ians ; there are wise Christian aod
foolish Chrictian. There are lifting
Christians, and Christian wbo have
an excellent excuse for noi lifting
Which sball we be? Shall we not
allow ourselves the happiness ot look
ing back to tbe close . ot each day,
yet more at the evening of :. life ou
acts of healing, helping, lifting?
What joy filled tbe soul of Peter as
be wbo bad been lame leaped as an
bart, as be praised God with each
exercise . of bis new-bora strength.
What eternal joyousness sball be bis
who sees souls new-msde, emancipa
ted, happy, because be lifted tbem

On the other, side of tbo street
there are two droekies with their dri
vers sleeping io the sun, wailing for
passengers. One is a covered chaise
in tbe modern style, the others are
the old-fashioned guibars on . which
one sits astride on a horse, keepiog
tight bold of tbe driver's waist for
fear of falling. : Some of these dros
kies are good enough, with fast hor
ses, but tbe mist of them are abom
inable, aod tbe detestable pavements
add still more to one's sufferings.
It is a great comfort when we can
have tbe good sno v roads of winter
aod the cozy little Bledges; then one
starts out witb something like pleas
ure, though with tbe cbaoce of beiug
upset in tbe gutter. Moscow is so
large, and tbe side walkrfare so narrow
and bo bad tbat it io next to impossi
ble to walk much, anu one soon falls
into tbe crazy habit of always ri
ding. Tbess - invoslchieka properly
wear a long blue faocat with an odd
flat bat, but there are so many who
come in from tbe country for a short
time that you get to Bee all kinds of
costume, bach bas a brass ticket
witb bis number around bis neck. I
have seen No. 15,300, so . tbat the
number of these vehicles, must be
very large. One set of men go out
by day, and at night another set wbo
prowl lazily along the streets or stand
near some frequented "corner, always
half asleep, iu wait for a cbaoce fare.
I have sometimes surprised them at
their morning toilet, as I bave looked
out early iu the morning, a . little
saliva on the bands, and the face is
soon washed. Three crossings and
a genuflection to each quarter of the
horizon complete the hasty . toilet.
Tbese ivostcbrki do not, ot course,
all own tbeir horses and dropkies,
but for ibe most part tbey belong xo
artels or co-operative association
Sometimes tbey hire ibe horses and
droskies of some man to w bom tbey
pay a share of the profits, aod some
time the ' rtel owns them sll
Tbeir lder,' or - president seeB ' to
providiug tbem all witb a cotimoo
lodging and board, and tbeir profits
go into tbe common stocks and are
regularly divided up. '
A Sermoa.
"The love of nnney is tbe root of
evil." Wby : Because our children
are tanirbl that riches alooe bring
happiness. .. Even our churches bave
become places to flaunt tbe outward
evidences of wealth, and excite envy
and coveioosoess. - Two seutences
ought to be placed in- tbem ; all.
"Lead us not iuto temptation," and
"Thou shall not covet. ,: If our chil
dren were taught to find tbeir pleas
ure in objects of nature, instead of
$10 Easter eggs, or $100 dolls, bow
much happier tbey . would be, and
bow much better tilted to come io
contact with tbe realitie-i of life. But
in America, now, the rule is ; to. gel
money, honorably if you can, but
any way so long as yon are not
caught by tbe law. In Germany,
wbere tbe system of Froebel and Pes
taluzzl, are now almost universal, tbe
lessons of mercy, , honor, .patience,
iboughtfulaes and truthfulness, tbat
a contact with .Nature teaches the
child, are appreciated.. We do cot
find the feverish . haste to amaas
wealth, that is seen, in England
and America. - "Wben we reflect
what amount of evil Satan still finds
for idle bands to do," we must agree
witb tbe great scientists, that a study
of Natural History is ibe best means
of giving a true and abiding faith in
tbe future, aud that "Surely, our in
oocent pleasures are not so abundant
in this lite, tbat we can afford to de
spise this or an other source of tbem.
We should fear being - punished for
our neglect td tbat limbo, wbere tbe
great Florentine tells, us - are those
who, during this life," "wept , wben
they might be jo; full" .-. s-i

Lately a traveler passed in a car
riage along the Avenue : de Neujlly
the night was dark ; all at once the
horse stopped, and the traveler saw
the animal bad met aa obstacle. At
tbe same moment a man raising bim
seif from before the horse uttered a
cry. ' - '
" Y by don't you take .care J" said
the traveler. - . . .
"Ah ,". cried the man, "you would
do better, instead ot hallooing, to lend
me your lantern." - -
"What for?"
"1 bad three hundred francs ia

broken, and all is falling iu tbe street.

"Give it to me.", ,V ,,:. ' . i r. . ,

"Give it to me j it will be the
means of recovering the others." ' '
-The poor fellow gave bim hia last
coin. 1 be traveler - whistled ; ' a
magnificent Danish dog began to leap
around bim. ; " ' ; - -
.''Here!" said the traveler) putting
ibe coin to ' the nose of the dog.
"Look!" .; .. ;. ; -
The intelligent crealire sniffled a
moment at tbe money, and tben - be
gan to' run about the road., Everv
moment he returned, leaping, and de
posited in tbe band of bis master . a
Napoleon. In about twenty minutes
the whole sum was recovered. The
poor fellow, wbo bad got bis money
back, turned full of thanks toward
the traveler, who had uow got into
ibe carriage.
"Ah, you are my preserver," said
be ; "tell me, at least, your name.
"I have done nothing," , said the
traveler.: "lour preserver is my
dog ; bis name is Rabut-Joie :" and
then, whipping his horses, he - disap
peared in the datkneea.

One morning a teacher went, as
usual to tbe school room, and found
many vacant seats. Two little schol
ars lay at tbeir homes cold in death,
and others were very sick. ' A fatal
disease bad entered tbe village, aod
tbe few children p esent that morn
ing at school gathered around tbe
teacber and said : 1
"Ob, what shall we do? Do you
think we sball be sick, aod die loo ?"
She rently touched the bell as a
signal for silence, and observed : -
"Children, you ' are all ' afraid of
tbis terrible disease. ' l ou mourn for
tbe death of our dear little friends ;
an i you fear that you may be taken
also. I ociy know of one way to es
cape, and tbat is to bide."
- The cbildreu were bewildered, and
the teacber went on i
"I will read you about tbis biding
place-;" and read Psalm xci: "Whoso
dwelletb under the detence of - the
Must High shall abide under the shad
ow of the Almighty "
All were bushed and composed
by tbe sweet words of the Psalmist,
aod the m roiog lesson went on as
usual.
At noon a dear little girl sidled op
to tbe desk and said :
"Teacber, are you not afraid of the
diphtheria." - - '
"No, my child," she answered.
"Well, wouldo't you be if you
thought you would be sick and die ?"
"No, my dear, I trust not." .'
Looking at the teacber a moment
with wondering eyes, her face lighted
ib she said
"Oh, I know ! you are hidden un
der God's wing., What a nice place
to bide I" : i -
Yes, tbis is the only ' hiding-place
for old, for young, for rich, for poor
all. : , .... , . . ; . ..;

restores ft Jed
of gra f li ft ir
to its original
color, with the
A..--. and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
ami baldness often, though not always,
. cured by its use. Nothing can restnro
the hair where the follicles arn de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied ami
li--ayed ; hut such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair -is produced. Instead
of fouling tho hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it elean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
trjui turning gray or falling ofT", and
-;t:!ise(piently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it' gives to tha
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
tion of dandrnfF, which is often so un
cleanly and ollensire. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some jirep.tr.it ions dangerous and inju
rions to tho h.iir. tha Vigor can only
benefit but not barm it. If wanted
merely f.r a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lusir?, and a. grateful perfume.
