ScrOfula, or Kings Evil.

is n constitutional disease. corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes Initiated,
weak. and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease ON any part Of 1t. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one whichit may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vencreal injection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the cons
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation /" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says,l"I
will visit the iniquites Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, irf
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul COR
ruption, which gcnders in the blood, depfessess
the energies of life, so that scrofulors constituS
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to WITH
stand the attacks of other Diseases ecnsc-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofilous in their nature,
arc still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys. brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause. 2'' .5@A
One quarter Of all our people are scrnfulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by II.

the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and excrciSe.

Enoch Arden: Boiled Down.

~" JANIS SMITH,
Philip Ray and Enoch Arden
Both were "spoons on Annie Lee
Phil. did not fulfill her notions,
She preferred to mate with L.
Him she welded, and she bore him
Pretty little children three;
But becoming short of rhino,
Enoch went away to sea.
Leaving Mrs. Arden owner
OF a well-stocked village shop,
Selling butter, soap and treacls,
Beeswax, whipcord, lollipop.
Ten long years she waited for him.
But he neither came nor wrote,
Wherefore, she concluded Enoch
Could no longer be afloat.
So when Philip came to ask her
If she would be Mrs. Ray,
She. believing she was widow'd,
Could not say her sutton "nay;"
And a second time was married,
Gave up selling bread and cheese,
And in due time Philip nursed
Little Ray upon his knees.
But alas the long lost Enoch
Turn'd up unexpectedly,
And was vastly d:sconcerted
by this act Of bigamy.
Yet rejecting on the subject,
He determined to atone
For his heightened absence from her,
BY just leaving well alone.
Taking to his bed he dwindled
Down to something like shade,
Settled with his good landlady,
Next the debt Of Nature paid.
Then, when both the Rays discovered
How poor Enoch's life had ended,
They came out in handsome style, and
Gave his corpse fun raj splendid.
This is all know about It;
Ii it's not sufficient, write,
By next mail, to Alfred Tenny-
Son. p. L., the Isle of Wight.

Help Father I

My hands sre SO stiff | can hardly
hold pen," said farmer WILDER as he
sat down to figure out" some &C.
counts that were getting behind hand
Could | help you, father?" said
Lucy, laying down her crochet work.
al should be glad to if ! only knew
what you wished written"
"Well, | shouldn't wonder if you
could, Lucy" he said refectively.
Pretty good at figures, are your"
1t would be fine story if l did
not know something of them after go
ing twice through the arithmetic" said
Lucy, laughing.
Well, | can show you in five min
utes what | have to do, and it'll be a
powerful help if you can do it for me !;
/ never was a master hand at accounts
in my best days, an it does not grew
any easier as can see, since put on
specs"
Very patiently did the hopeful daugh-
ter plod through the long dull lines of
figures, leaving the gay worsted work
to lie idle all the evening, though she
was in such haste to finish her scarf
1t was reward enough to see her tired
father, who had been toiling all day
for herself and the other dear ones, sit
ting SO costly in his easy chair, enjoy
ing his weekly paper, as it can only
be enjoyed in country home, where
news from the great world beyond
comes seldom, and is eagerly sought
for.
The clock struck nine before her
task was over, but the hearty "thank
you, daughter, a thousand times" took
away all sense of WEAKNESS.
It's rather looking up, where .
man can have an amanuensis, !" said the
father. 1t is not every farmer that
can afford it."
"Nor every farmers daughter that
is capable of making one" said moth
er, with little pardonable maternal
pride.
Nor every one that would be will
ling, if they were able" said Mr.. Will
ber-which last was sad truth.
How many daughters might be of use
to their fathers in this and many 9TH
er ways, who never think of tightening
a care or labor. If asked to perform
some little service, it is done at best
with reluctant step and an unwilling
air which robs it Of all sunshine or
claim to gratitude.
Girls, help your father /; give him a
cheerful home to rest in when evening
comes, and do not worry his life away
by fretting because he cannot afford
you all the luxuries you covet Such
Il home atmosphere tends more than
anything else reproduce a hard morose
character, which must ever make old
age unlovely and uncomfortable. Chill
dren exert as great an influence on
their parents, as parents do ON their
children.
