Railroad Refreshments.

A CORRESPONDENT tells the following
plaintive story of recent adventure on a
railroad train:
The train boy came along, an orphan
with an aged father and mother and seven
able bodied brothers to support with the
fruits of his own unaided eXertions. His
principal article of commerce consists of
French chocolate caramels." These he
sells to the passengers foI the small sum of
ten cents each, or eight for seventy-five
cents, Just the number that l bought, after
hearing of their good qualities. He spoke
of them as mot only luxury, but food
just the thing for traveller who had for
gotten to take lunch with him" And the
Lord only knows how many other pretty
sayings he had about them, and descrip-
tive hand bill accompanied them.
Foundered !" yelled the boy who had
sold me the stuff, in an ecstacy of delight.
Such was the melancholy fact. An aged
friend, leaning upon a staff, came to me,
and, picking up the hand-bill, read that
which made my blood run cold. The hand
bill told TOO fearful and melancholy a
truth. II informed me that each one of
these eight little square bits contained of
beef alone an equivalent of three pounds,
and other Ingredients in proportion. just
think of it, my dear boy here had eaten
eight of those things myself, when one of
them, though only the length, breadth and
thickness of ten cent shinplaster, was a
full meal for family Of six flll-grown
persons.
The hand bills that'went with the cara
mels contained the directions for taking
them, but /, without reading them, Went
at once to work and ate all eight of them
at just that many bites. l must confess
that they tasted pleasant enough, but the
result was horrifying beyond words l
suddenly felt fullness as though my appe-
tite was satisfied for all time to come, and
that flllness grew upon me, so that my
vest buttons began to give way, looked
about in astonishmcnt as did the passen-
gers. At last yentured to inquire;

Nothing Like n in Medicine.

The great secret of the success of that wonderful
Household Remedy-Mishler's Herb Bitters-is
the unquestioned fact that it purihes the blood
and equalizos its circulation throughout the
whole body. 1t is impossible to
have sound, healthy body, with.
out pure blood. The slightest disease, no matter
how trivial, where it is located or what its char
seter, is the direct result Of some existing impuri-
ties in the blood and If these impurities be not
expelled promptly, disease in some form
must be exhibited. In all diseases of the
stomach, kidneys, liver, bowels, lungs and heart,
the blood is necessarily impure, and the more
virulent the disease the greater the impu-
rites. 1t is only by expelling these foul humors
by neutralizing the intense, burning, heating
properties in fever cases, by restoring strength,
life, that health can be restored and preserved

What God Has called Pure.

Sixteen years ago, Madame Sarti gave
physiological lectures in New York, to
the ladies. One day there came to her
rooms mother, with twin boys ten
years old. She asked Madame Sarti to
show to the children the wax model of
the female body with which she lectur-
ed, and to give to them her usual full
description and explanation of every
organ and its use. The womb was
represented in the seventh month of
pregnancy with twins When Madame
Sarti reached this, she was about to
pass it by without mention. "Stop,"
said the mother, "that is precisely what
l most wish my little ones to see."
Then, as the two children looked with
earnest wonder on the two tiny bodies,
locked tightly in each others embrace,
she said: My darlings you know have
often told you how for nine long months
you lay close together, in that wonder
full little room which Gcd bss made in
the mothers body. Now you can Just
see how it was. See how much mamma
must love you, and how dreadful it
would be if you dill not love each
other" When Madame Sarti told us
this story, the tears stood in her eyes,
and she said in her broken English,
''Oh! | did like to bless that woman
What men viii she make those boys
to be9
There are mothers who willread this
with hearty blush and half sneer. 1t
is Of no use TO speak to such; we have
tried it. and we have not found any
words which they can understand. But
there are other mothers who will pause |;
and while they are perhaps a little
startled, will have a thrill of earnest
questioniug:- Is this really what ought
to be done9 How could doit9 How
can l be sure that it would be best 70
To those we stretch out our hands and
cry, "What God has called pure shall
we call impure, and withhold it from
his little onesl Shall we allow the
holest OF his mysteries to be Tudely
handled by coarse men and women in
their hearing-to be defiled and overlain
with ies-to be made a SAVIOR of death
unto death unto them, instead of SAVIOR
of life unto life? And all this we do,
if we delay for one unnecessary hour
the telling them all that they can un-
derstand-all that we know of the great
laws of the human body of either sex,
and reproduction.-"A Mother" in the
Independent.

OoIfax,s ONLY Drink.

As Mr.. Colfax is about to repeat his
Western experience very shortly, am
reminded of an amusing episode of his
former visit to the Rocky Mountains.
He is a good traveller By stage, but an
Indifferent horseback rider. In 1865
he found himselfstaging on the Laramie
plateau, where the plain is airy, smooth
and hard, and with several of his com
panions he quilted the stage and climbed
to the saddle. 4
Away they went scudding across the
plateau, Colfax ahead, enjoying hugely
she fresh air, the speed, the rivalry.
Suddenly the horse fell headlong, rolled
together, pitched over and over, threw
Colfax heavily, and then fell upon him.
The Speaker tainted with the pain.
When he came to the other riders were
around him. They feared some bones
were broken; they were five hundred
miles from a surgeon. While they
beckoned to the stage to hurry, one of
the party produced a pocket pistol of
brandy.
"Drink, speakerp he said; ''it is
necessary"
Colfax gave a pull.
"More" ordered the other.
He obeyed.
"How did you like it, Speakers"
said one to whom Colfax told the story.
"Well," said Colfax, first wavering
and then smiling, 81 tell you it was
good"
On examination no bones were found
to be broken, and the draught of brandy
has never been repeated.-TosVnsend
