With mighty EFFORT she struggled thro'
the spell that boui.d her, and set upright
in bed. Her heart was palpitatiuc wildly.
q clammy sweat stood III beads of ice ON
her skin, and she shook from head TO foot.
as with an ague>
The candle was out and everything
wral ped in darkness. The Tapping of the
cloth which she had pinned over the win
dow explained the extinction of the light.
and also the cold breath of the phantom
that had haunted her dreams-tbe wind
had forced the pin from its hold.
She smiled at her fears, and was abou1
to get up and relight tile candle, that her
late returning husband might not miss the
cheerful beacon, when she was suddenly
thrilled by sound from without 1t was
only the swapping of dry twig, but in the
present state Of her nerves it was enough
to fill her with alarm
She sat perfectly still ard listened. but
the minutes dragged slowly on without =
repetition of the sound. She shivered
with cold and ached with the continued
tension of her muscles. Still she could
not prevail upon herself to move she eouId
not persuade herself that it was not a foot
that had caused the breaking of the twig.
Only her eyes were free, and they rovod
about the room necessarily Suddenly
they became fixed. She saw something
move. 1t was slowly coming in to view
above the sill Of the window. 1t was round
like the head of a man!
All power of motion was now gone.
She was frozen with terror She sat bolt
upright and stared at the dreadful speeta-
Gle. Slowly, inch 10y inch, it rose. Fear
and darkness prevented her from noticing
anything save that it was round-that it
was head Higher-higher-u from
its conformation she judged that the eyes
were above the sill, and then stopped
Her excited fancy pictured horrible glaring
eyes-eyes so fierce, so flaming, that they
would almost seem to burn and scar all
that they rested upon.
Just then little Sue awoke, and as she
strained her eyes through the gloom, said
in voice hushed by childish alright:
Mamma -
Her moving aroused the other children,
and seeing their mother so still, they set
up a plaintive wall of terror.
''Hush my poor babes - cried the ag-
onized mother, clasping the little ones to
her brea st.
The next moment she started and looked
about in amazement. The cause of her
emotion was deep, ferYent Thank GOdn'
In an instant she was out of bed, and Der
trembling fingers were busy with the fast
ening of the door. The next she fell al
most fainting into the arms of her husband;
and the greeting of the parents and the
voices of the little girls, who kept cooing
softly Papa papa p were drowned in
the lusty cheer of master Johnny.
a hasty explanation disclosed the fact
that Mr.. Best had heard of the Indian
raid, and hasteued home to ind the light,
which always awaited his return, no long
er burning. Feeling that his worst fears
for his family were realized, and apprehep-
sive that the undisrurbed appearance of
the house was but snare to entrap him,
he crept cautiously forward to reconnoitre,
when he heard the voices Of his children
and knew that all was well.

Excitement is the Order
of the Day.

Whilst no one feels their
scalp entirely secure in and for
miles around the lava-beds on
account of Capt. Jacks late de-
faint stand, and whilst we deep
ly deplOre the shedding of hui
man blood, still our sympathy
is always for the "bottom dog
in the fight" we have been at
the bottoma few times ourselves.
So in imitation Of Captain Jack,
we have made a defiant stand
against high prices for goods,
and intend to fight it out on
this line" if it should take all
summer, and convince the pub
lie that the green brick front is
still the place for bargains. We
challenge the State to sell the
same class of goods cheaper
than we will.

tage to Her Majesty's subjects in
an American market? Who can
say there is justice in such laws
to enslave Americans in their own
country?
So, too,of reaping machines. An
Illiuois farmer could send to Eng.
land, buy a Mccormick reaper,
and have it shipped across the At
lantic and half way across the
continent to bis farm, for half the
money which be must pay to boss
Mccormick for the same machine
but for what? Why but for the
blessed fact that our Great Father
at Washington deems it necessary
to protect" poor, struggling, pow
erty.stricken boss Mccormick.
Such are the artificial profits
which the protected" monopoIist
enjoys under the paternal care of
our Great Father. Where are the
farmers artificial products? His
produce is as low as before the
war, while everything he buys and
every expense that be must meet
are at war prices, thanks to the
blessed protective systeml" All
this is. the natural fruit Of that
system of spoliations and robbery
which idiots and rascals style
protection to home industry p
A system which forcibly excludes
US from the markets of the world;
fences us in slavish chains to a
greedy master, who sinks US to the
very bone.
"Such protection as vultures give to lambs,
Covering and devouring them?"
The men of 1776 rose up a.

navigation laws" whose sole OBJ
Iject in twenty-five separate acts,
was to monopolize the trade and
commerce of the colonies. We
suffer tenfold greater than the colo
MES ever endured from a precisely
similar system of monopoly; we
have the remedy, by peaceable
revolutions at the ballot box, in
our hands, but we seem to lack
both the intelligence and the cour-
age to use il"

Il
Mr.. ". o. WaUace-DEAR
SIR:-If you will allow me a lit
tie space in your valuable paper,
| will offer few suggestions to
my brother farmers.
| have been watching for some
time with great anxiety Though
silently the great uprising of the
masses in the northwest on the
subject of Agriculture, and the
rights OF that class who have topro-
duce food and raiment to feed
the world-that class on whose
prosperity all mankind are de-
pendent. | say / have been
watching this movement with a
great deal of interest, fearing
a failure, knowing from expert
ence that it is next to impossible to
get the mass of agriculturists to
cooperate in any measure (howev-
er beneficial it may be to them
selves) from the fact that their
isolated condition makes it in
convenient for them to act in con-
cert. But when we contemplate
the great interests at stake we
should not be deferred by trifes,
But will it succeed? / think it
will. A just cause is bound to
succeed ultimately, if its advo-
Gates are earnest in their efforts.
We have the Agricultural Con-
gress, the Farmers Club, the Pat
rons of Husbandry and last
though not least, The Rural San,
all working to the same great end.
These are powerful agencies and
are terribly in earnest.
In view of all this, what will
old Lincoln do? That's the point.
Shall we fold our arms and let the
golden opportunity pass unim-
proved. or shall we bear our breasts
like men and assist our struggling
brethren in contending for rights
long denied US. | for one am will
ing to assist in the good work.
Though feeble, / am willing to
contribute my mite. / don't
wish to be understood as waging
war on any other branch of bust
ness all | ask is that the farm.
ers (the most numerous class have
an equal chance with other in
terests. An open field and a fair
fight is all the farmers claim
All other callings have their or
CARNATIONS, their rules and regu-
lations, and why not the farmers
as well. | offer these suggestions
for the consideration of my broth
er farmers, with the hope that 9th
ers more competent than myself
will take up the subject and stir
up our lukewarm friends to do
something.
Mr., Editor, | have extended
this article much beyond what |
intended, but when | contemplate
thd great interests involved, | am
constrained to say something to
stimulate, if possible, our agri-
cultural friends to assert their
rights Speak out, farmers what
shall we DO? l.. L STONE.

the Q19eaSe, ana Win assurance,
founded on proof, that no harm can arise from
Its use In any quantity. II
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the COM
munities where 1t prevails. PTeUentios is better
than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which
he must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis
temper. This "CURE" expels the miasmato
poison OF FEVER AND AGUE from the system,
and prevents the development of the disease, II
taken on the first approach of its pPemonitory
symptoms. It is not only the best remedy ever
yet discovered for this casso of complaints, bus
also the cheapest: The large quantity we sup
ply for dollar brings it within the reach Of
everybody; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AeUE prevails, everybody should
have it, and it freely, both for cure and pro-
lection. It Is hoped this price will place 1t within
the reach of all-the poor as wen rs the rich.
A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure Of Intermittents is that It contains no Qui-
nine or mineral consequently It produces no
quinism or other Injurious effects whatever upon
healthy as If they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of dis
orders arise from its irritation, ameng which
Blindness, Toothache, Esrache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen,
and arrangement of the Stomach, ali Of which,
when originating in this cause, put on the In
termittent type, or become periodical. This
"CURE" expels the poison from the blood, and
consequently cures them all alike. It is an In
valuable protection to immigrants and persons
travelling or temporarily residing in the mala-
rious districts. If taken occasionally or daily
while exposed to the infection, that viii be ex-
GREETED from the system, and cannot accumulate
In sufficient quantity to ripen into disease.
Hence It is even more valuable for protection
than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittents If they avail themselves of the protec-
ton this remedy affords
For LiUer Complaints, arising from torpid
itv of the Liver it Is an excellent remedy, slim
ulating the Liver into healthy activity, and pro-
ducing many truly remarkable cures, where
other medicines fail.
