p,xpLEs, ERupTIoNs, ROUGH SKIN.

The system being put under the In
fluence Of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery for q few weeks, the skin
becomes smooth, clear, soft and vel
yety. and being illuminated with the
GLOW Of perfect health from within,
true beauty stands forth In all Its glory.
Nothing ever presented to the public
as a besutifler OF the complexion ever
paye such satisfaction for this purpose
as this Discovery. The effects OF all
medicines which operate upon the sys-
TEN through the medium of the blood
are necessarily somewhat slow, no
matter how good the remedy employed.
While one to three bottles clear the
skin Of pimples, blotches, e%ruptlons,
yellow spots, comedones or "grubs,"
a dozen may possibly be required to
cure some cases where the system Is
rotten with scrofulous or vlrulent blood
poisons. The cure Of all these dis
eases. however, from the common pim-
pie to the worst scrofula, Is, with the
use OF this most potent agent, only a
matter of time. Sold by all Druggists.

The Leisure Hour.
BBTUYxT TWO STOOLS.

John Bushby, having fallen between two
stools and hurt himself, took desperate
resolution and emigrated; just at the time,
too, when he appeared to have reached the
proverbial turning In the rroverbial long
lane; so that his friends and acquaintance,
such of them at least as were not in his se-
cret, wondered greatly. Nor, under ordin-
ary circumstances, would there appear to
be any reason why man should expatri-
ate himself, simply because he had fallen
between two stools. or course spectators
laugh, for the sight of fellow creature
falling and hurting himself Is a never-fail-
ing source of amusement; but the suffer-
er generally contents himself with trying
to force a smile, rubbing what Latin gram
mars call the part affected, cursing the two
lifeless logs, and deter mining to show more
sense for the future. But when the two
stools assume the human form, have eyes
that speak a silent language, encounter you
day after day, and seem always to wear a
mocking smile ~ II in derisive remem-
brance or your misadventure, the matter
wears a more serious aspect. And. in Bush
by's case the stools were petticoats, which
added to the discomfort of the situation.

and Mr.. and Mrs Wilson took houses in
the neighborhoOd of Mr.. and Mrs. Carson,
and, as there was a general acquaintance
among the couples he was constantly meet
ing Mrs. Tomkins and Mrs. Wilson.
Those ladies were delighted to see him, and
received him with the most uneinbarrassed
cordiality, for he had never spoken out,
and so, of course, they were not supposed
to know anything y but he detected, or
fancied he detected, in their looks and
manner reproach, (not on their own ac-
count, but on his, who had been nobody's
enemy but his own.) mockery, amuse-
ment, pity, condescension, patronage.
Tomkins was at first little cool, and even
defiant remembering, perhaps, the time
when he had wondered who the devil was
Bushby, but seeing the imperturbability of
Mrs, Tomkins, soon grew quite friendly,
INTERNALLY friendly, according to Bnshby,)
and expressed compassion for young bar
rlsters, who had such lawfully uphill
work !" and Wilson, genial soul without
a shade of jealousy, himself suggested,
when Bushby was filling Mrs. Wilson's
glass, that "the Two ought TO tax a cup %
kindness together, for auld lang syne."
Mrs. Maddox, too, frequently crossed his
path and no one would have guessed from
that amiable lady's gracious behavior, and
reference TO her "dearest Toms dearest
friend" that there had ever been time
when she had considered Bushby "horrid.'
But the climax of Bushbys troubles ar
rived when in due course, there appeared
upon the scene little Tomkins of the mas
culine gender. Tomkins and Annie and
Mrs. Maddox were unanimous in deciding
that as "dear Tom" was abroad and could
not stand, as he undoubtedly would have
stood, one of the godiathers, his oldest and
dearest friend, Bushby, should he asked To
take his place.
Bushby, being sounded b. T lntins, ex-
cused himself on the ground that he had
been seriously considering the propriety of
emgrating, and that he could not and
ought not to undertake duties which it
would be impossible for him TO perform,
even in the disgraceful periunctory manner
which is only too prevalent.
Perhaps he was not quite sincere in what
he said but, just as he was beginning to
get something substantial in addition to his
Soup he did emigrate that is to say, he
exchanged the Bar of England for the Bar
of Bombay, and had no reason to regret the
step. If he found no Armies, be found
plenty of ennas, and of rupees about lac.
Consequently he was tal from "horrid" in
in the eyes of many matron, exported
with daughters from the British Islands to
Bombay, and not inferior in discerIment
to the amiable Mrs. Maddox. Nor is Lau-
ra Bushby less euphonious than Anna
Bushby. There is certainly no similarity
between the names; but conjure with
them, and Laura will raise spirit as soon
as Annie; at any rate that is Bushbys
| present opinion.

ELLEN PARRY.
And Mrs. Parry really did call, and
found Bushby suffering from a swelled
face which made him unpresentable in So
ciety, but otherwise as well as ever. This
good news she said would be gladly heard
by her daughter, who was waiting for her
"in the broughsm," and who bad "pictur-
ed to herself all sorts of horrors" such as
Bushby lying at the point Of death, with
no one but not remarkably sober old wo-
man to administer his medicine, which
probably contained poison, and of which
an overdose would be fatal.
Now Bushby, so far from being as blind
rs bat, was not even short-sighted and
he saw distinctly whittier things were tend
ing. He had only to write tender reply
to Ellen Parry's letter and he might bring
things TO crisis. But | g thought of An
ME Maddox, and contented himself with
expressing his fervent thanks by word Of
mouth to Mrs. Parry. And soon afterward
came that mysterious document from Mrs.
Maddox. which caused him TO waver seri-
ously between love and lucre.

Your affectionate aunt,

EMMA CARSON.
p. S.-Ellen Parry Is staying with us.
She seems to have very pleasant recollec-
tion of you.
Bushby appealed to his memory for in
formation about Ellen Parry hut without
any immediate response. At last the faith
ful organ became more communicative,
and revealed to him certain facts which he
had clean forgotten. He executed crab
like movement back ward, until he became
once more seven years old and was walk
ing in garden with two or three girls. He
was pretty little boy and they, who had
up TO the time of that very walk been COM
plete strangers to him, after eyeing him
carefully and approvngly, whispered to-
gether and gggled; and then one of them
fell suddenly upon him and kissed him,
saying "You are little darling"
She was quite twelve years old, and her
name was Ellen Parry. She had struck
him as being frightful to look at, and he
had resented the liberty she had taken with
him, in manner which only made her
laugh good naturedly and repeat her out
rageous conduct. They had ultimately,
however, become very good friends, when
she went abroad with her parents, and he
had never seen her since, or even heard of
her. She was his Aunt Carson's niece, and
she had lately lost her father, who was
Aunt Carson's brother. She must now be
thirty-two years Of age If she was day,
and If she had fulfilled the promise of her
girlhood, must have grown up to be hide

upon the question of her hldeousness when

Some months before Bushbv had uncon-
sciously become "borrid' in the estimation
of the amiable Mrs. Maddox, he had re-
ceived the following note:
