THE TWO NEEGHBORs.

There were two men who were neigh
bors, and each of them had wife and
several little children who depended
upon them for support.
Now, one of these men was greatly
troubled, saying, "If ] die, or even ifI
fall sick, what will become Of my wife
and children"
The same thought came also to the
other father, but he left it go again,
whispering to himself, "God, who
knows all his creatures, and who
watches over them, viii watch over
me, also, and over my wife and chill
dren." And this man lived in peace,
while the other knew neither rest nor
joy.
One day, when the latter, sad and
cast down by reason of this fear, was
working in the fields, he saw some
birds fly into the bush, come out, and
then return thither. He approached
it and saw two nests, side by side, and
in each were several little birds, newly
hatched and still featherless. When
he had returned to his work, he raised
his eyes from time to time and looked
at the old birds going backward and
forward and carrying food to their
young ones. Presently, just as one of
the mother birds was returning with
something in her beak, a hawk seized
and carried her away, in spite Of her
struggles and piteous cries. At this
sight the man felt more troubled than
before, for he thought, "The death of
the mother is the death of the little
ones. Mine have only me what will
become of them if fail them 20 And
all the day he was very sad, and when
night came it brought him no relief.
The next day, on returning to the
field, he said, ~ will see how these
poor little birds are; doubtless several
of them have already perished." So
he went towards the bush and looked
into the nest there he saw the birds,
and not one of them seemed to have
suffered from the loss of its mother.
He was exceedingly astonished, and
hid himself to see what would happen.
After little while he heard a faint
cry, and he perceived the bird of the
other nest bringing with haste the food
she had found, and this she divided
between her own and the motherless
little ones. There was enough for all.
The man who had mistrusted God,
told to his neighbor what he had seen,
and the latter answered him, "Why art
thou troubled ? God never forsakes his
children. His love has secrets that we
know not of. Let US believe, hope, and
love, then we may 90 on our journey in
peace. III die before you, you will be
a father to my children if you die be-
fore me, l will be a father to yours.
Or, if We both die while they are Of
tender age, their father viii be our
Father who is in heaven"

i VERIFIED PROPzECY-PREDI
1EON or CALHOUN,

In 1887, John G. Calhoun, whose per-
spicuity was so wonderful that his
prophecies have become history, thus
addressed the Senate of the United
States:
"Be assured that emancipation it
self would not satisfy these fanatics !;
that gained, the next step would be to
raise the negroes TO social and politi-
cal equality with the whites and that
being effected, we would soon find the
present condition of the two races re-
versed. / speak with full knowledge
and thorough examination of the
subject, and for once see my way clear
~. One thing alarms me-the eager
pursuit of gain which overspreads the
land, and which absorbs every faculty
of the mind and every feeling of the
heart. Ofall passions, avarice is the
most blind and promising last
to see, and the first to yield to pander.
l dare not hope that anything 1 can
say will arouse the South to due sense
of danger, fear it is beyond the pow
er of mortal voice to awake it in time
from the fatal security into which it
has fallen"
But that fiat of fate, stepped in the
blood of thousands, has come upon Us
with a curse more dreadful than the To-
Gusts and frogs Of Egypt. So much Of
the prophecy, then, has been fulfilled.
The social and political equality of
whites and blacks stares US in the face.
1t may be forced upon us but has av-
arice so absorbed ''every faculty of the
mind and every feeling of the heart"
that Virginians, for paltry pelf, should
don their own robes of disgrace, that
they should help reverse the proud
motto of the glorious Old Dominion,
and lick the tyrant's foot which op-
presses her fair neck? Can her sons
have so degenerated as, with voluntary
hand, to place this stigma upon her
fair old name? If our conquerOrs have
the power to force a republican con-
stitution" upon US, with its damning
principle Of social and political equaIi-
ty, they have neither the power nor
the right to compel US to degrade our
selves by voting for it.-Richm0nd In

You viii bear in mind that these remedies are en-
urely different from any others advertised for the
cure Of the diseases named, these being scientific
preparations of medicinal extracts, while the 9TH
ers are mere decoetions Of rum in some form. The
TONIC is decidedly one Of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever offered to the public It's
taste is exquisite tits pleasure TO take it, while
its'ife giving, ezhilarating, and medicinal quail
ties have caused it to be known as the greatest Of

LOVE AT SIGHT.-On Monday of last
week a young Californian, about TWEEN
ty-fve years of age, happening east on
business, visited Lowell for the pur-
pose Of sightseeing, stoppingat the A.
merican House. He seemed a young
man Of property, wore diamond rings
and other costly jewelry, representing
himself as the owner Of large stock
farm and other property at San Jose,
California and gave his name as James
WeIch. He stated that his partner in
business was about returning from
the east with a newly welded wife and
intimated that but for some disappoin-
ment he might have done thesame. His
story coming to the ears of young la
dy of twenty years employed as seam
stress at the American House, jOcosely
remarked, inasmuch as she had been
disappointed in a similar manner, the
relatives of one whom she had pligted
her faith preventing the marriage, her
heart beat in sympathy with that of
the Californian, and the sorrow of both
might be assured in matrimony. Her
friends, thinking il all joke, which
they would carry further, arranged an
introduction between the two, which
took place at the American House last
Wednesday morning, they never hav-
ing spoken to each other before. On
the day following Thursday they
were married at four O'Clock in the after
noon, by the Rev. DR.. Edison, and three
quarters ofan hour later were on the
way to New York. On Saturday last
they took the steamer for San Francis
co. The bride wrote to her friends
when at New York that she was well
pleased with her choice, and that her
husband and herself had arranged a
visit East next year. .--LOaCeH Courier.

The fame of the celebrated Plantation
Bitters has no parallel in the history
of Medicine. The thousands upon
thousands of bottles that are made and
sold daily is but proof positive of their
wonderful virtues. Thousands of Ger
tifcates can be produced showing the eff
ficacy and certainty of the cures which
they effect and the Medical Fraternity,
usually so jealous of anything which
causes persons to think and doctor
for themselves, are compelled to ac-
knowledge their wonderful virtues,
and prescribe them under other names.
They are sold by all druggists.

The importation of rags from the
Mediterranean, hides from Brazil, and
other commodities from the tropics, is
known to bring the germs of disease,
chiefly fever which are sometimes ver-
ry affecting and fatal. Ayers Ague
Cure stimulates the Liver to excrete
these germs from the system as effectu-
ally as it does the miasmatic poison of
our Ague districts. Consequently it
affords invaluable protection to steve
dores and others whose occupations
expose them to these dangerous in
fections ) and we hope to render them
valuable service in giving them this
information.-Nea0 York Dispatch.

Welded Bliss
God bless our wives;
They fill our hives
With little bees and honey!
They ease Iife's shocks,
And mend our socks,
But-don't they spend the money"
When we are sick
They heal US quick
That is, if they love US;
Ifnot, we die,
And yet they cry,
With just one eye,
And wink the other on the sly,
At some young man above Us.

ers and traders; and the latter exceedingly
quick TO avail themselves q every prohered faeilI
Is for procuring early information. Il Is observed
in California that the Chinese make great use Of
the telegraph though 1t there transmits messages
IN English alone. To-day great numbers Of feet
