How They Fell in Love.

They had " grown up together in the
full sense of the term, and that was the
matter. Had eaten each others mud pies,
taken the Group in each others snow forts,
cried out the sums on each others states,
tipped over each others k-bottles sopped
up the ink with their mutual haBdkerchefs,
told of each other in about equal pro-
portions, and "made up . in a common
exuberance of sobs and sassatras. They
had played at lovers behind the woodpile,
been marred by the prize-speaker, been
divorced by the " first base, been re-uni-
ted by the minister daughter, and gone
to housekeeping in the peat swamp, at re-
gular intervals, as far back as their MEM
ory extended. She had blue eyes, and new
er understood vulgar fractions. He used
to miss, so that she might get to the head
of the class One day she braided her
hair in two little braids behind, and tied
it together with pink lute-string ribbon
at three cents a yard. When they walked
home together he touched it gently, to sig
nifty his appreciation, and she blushed like
a May flower 1t could not have been
long after that before she grew shy at
singing school, and was apt to 20 home
with her brother In another year when
he went to St David's college, she cried
herself to sleep, forgot to crimp her hair,
and said nothing was the matter. SO Of
course when he came home on his first va
cation, it all happened as it could not very
well help happening, and as l suppose 1t
must 90 on happening to the end Of all
young things dreaming or old ones warn
ing. She sat in the choir in blue dress
with white spots, with pink bonnet and
cheeks, and sang in very sweet country
voice, in that sunny white meeting house,
like incense in an open field on a May day,
you might have thought, and you might
not. He. grown rather tail, rather quiet,
with long hair and the unmistakable st.
David shawl, sat below in his fathers box
pew-and listened
One Sunday it chanced that the Rev.
Mr.. Love, the recent settled and very
regular shepherd Of the " meeting -
felt moved in the spirit to preach to his
flock a sermon upon Christian amity, and
to suggest as its most fitting musical ac-
compartment, hymn So Of the d" Sweet

MEAr EXTRACTS Nor NUTR1rIoUs.-The
increasing skepticism of physioIogists in
regard to the nutritive value of the various
meat extracts, so much advertised at the
present day, has been rather fortified bv the
publication of an elaborate paper of Null
Ter, of Paris, upon the subject of the phys
Illogical character of meat extracts in
general. In this, starting out with the
proposition. first, that meat extracts do
not have any nutritive value, and second,
that they sometimes have a certain action
which is to be attributed only to their
mineral principles, and especially to the
sails of potash, he proceeds to examine the
vaious preparations. whether boujllons or
extracts, and then inquiries into the action
of the nitrogenous principles contained in
these preparations, and finally devotes a
third part TO discussion of the action of
the potash salts

KUKLUXIsM IN MIssoURI.-Rev. Thos.
Callahan of Centerville, Reynolds county.
Mo. arrived at St. Louis on Saturday, and
gave an account of an outrage TO which he
was subjected bv a band of disguised men
on the night of June %. He states that
he was a chaplain in the army during the
war, and went to Reynolds county from
Clinton, Ia, about a year ago. He was
strong Republican in politics, and his
troubles first originated in politics, but the
whipping grew out Of the fact that last
November the court house Of Reynolds
county was burned, and was again burned
in Nav. destroying all the county records.
Iucendiarism was suspected, and Marion
johnson was indicted as the incendiary.
On the 2lst of June Callahan published a
letter IN the Ironton Enterprise exonerat-
ing johnson. He said that he knew who
did burn the court house. but gave no
names On the night of June %, while
he was watching his sick wife, seven men.
with blackened faces entered his house.
dragged his wife from bed, plundered the
house. bound and took him half a mile
away. and, after attempting to make him
tell who set fire to the court house, gave
him about seventy-ive lashes on the bare
back with hickory switches Thev then
ordered him to leave the county in ten
DAYS, under penalty of death. Callahan
further states that there is a corrupt court
house ring in Reynolds county, against
whom he was strongly opposed. and who
were interested in the destruction of the
county records to cover up their frauds in
land titles Not one man in fifty, he says.
knows anything about his title Callahan
names several persons who are supposed
to have been engaged in whipping him.
including the sheriff Of the county, and
the clerk of the circuit and county court.
some of whom have since been arrested
under the enforcement act.

Ingenious Invention.

An ingenious plan for preventing ex.
plosions in mines that are caused by the
carelessness OF tobacco-smokers has been
devised by a philanthropist. Miners, he
says, will smoke, like travellers, what.
ever regulations may be framed TO
hinder them from 30 doing. 1t is there.
fore proposed to enable them to enjoy
their pipes without DANCE. To effect
this object, earthenware jars of tobacco
are to be deposited on the surface of the
ground near the pits mouth, the smoke
from which con be inhaled through In.
dia-rubber tubes running inside the
mine. 1obacco-smoke is, in fact, to be
laid on to the mine as gas and water
are laid on to houses. The jars being
lighted from above, the tobacco may
be smoked in perfect safety; and the
miners will no longer be tempted to
carry lucifer matches in their pockets.

A GLORIOUS REcoRp.-Twelve years
ago a few modest lines in a New York journal
invited public attention to a new Vegetable
Restorative, and solicited q trial of its merits
as a remedy for indigestion, biliousness, fever
aud ague, debility. nervous disorders, rheuma-
tism, and all complaints requiring invigorat-
ing and regulating treatment. In this quiet,
unpretcntious way, PLANTATION BIrrERs was
introduced to the world. 1t was a success
from the beginning. All that was claimed for
it as a tonic, a corrective and antidote to ma
Iarious fever. was found to be strictly true.
Within five years the annual sales of this
article amounted to over One Million Of Bottles.
A few years more and the demand had swelled
to Jire millions. The annual consumption of
the bitters has now reached the almost in
credible aggregate Of Biz MILLIONS OF BOTTLES,
and for every bottle sold a copy of the Illus
rRArED MEDICAL ANNUAL, published by the

The SUPREME QUEsrIoN.-Health is the
most important of earthly blessings, and
therefore the nervous anxiety Of the
sick to ascertain the relative merits of
the various medicines in use is not sur
prising. Within the last two years many
thousands of invalids have abandoned
the preparations of the pharmacopolist
for the remedy introduced by DR.. Walk.
er, Of California, under the somewhat
eccentric name of VINEGAR BIrTEKs.
That this new Vegetable medicine is
swimming golden opinions of all sorts Of
people" is beyond a doubt. The ac-
counts we hear of its extraordinary eff.
fects in cases of chronic dyspepsia, rheu-
matism, liver complaints, malarious fe.
vers, nervous prostrations, and many
other distressing diseases, certainly jus.
tify the popularity which it has every.
where acquired.
DR.. Walker claims for his specific q
remedial power over all disorders that
do not involve an irreparable destruc.

appear 10 have justified the claim. In
this age of wonders we are not disposed
to deny the possibility of any phenome-
ma not directly at variance with the laws

psychologists that all maladies proceed
