'Cuiiue I1arolu. anu 'FaraOlSe LOST, and
what does it matter about the rest2 Is it not
clay and dust the muddy vesture after all,
into which we cannot peer, because it rests
with God? Ii we take these men, who come
to us with heavenly gifts, with endowments
from the gods, as it were, fitted to
nerve and inspire mankind, and make
their words gospels to the sons
of men; if we examine our Shakespeare and
Byrons before police magistrates, by common
law process, do we not seek out the earthly
and forget the spiritual? So we may say of
Dickens His separation from his wife came
like shock to the English-speaking world.
He was the historian and chronicler of domes-
tic love. He had taught patience and duty as
the highest form of manhood. He had made
every man and every woman happier by show
ing how much happiness was possible to the
lowliest and humblest relations. How, then,
could he dismiss from his home the compan-
ion of his life and his tame-the wife of his
youth and endeavors, the mother of his chill
dren, and dismiss her, too, in the evening of
her lfe-beauty, youth and freshness gone,
only her children remaining to cheer her; her
children and the love of him who had sworn
to love, protect and cherish her? This was
asked by every one who had wept over Dora,
or found q dream of perfect love in Agnes.
Surely, it was said, some terrible reason
must exist for this extreme act He could no
longer live with his wife with honor or safety.
This was the feeling with regard to Dickens.
But we now see from the story of his life that
no such reason existed Dickens tired of his
wife, and dismissed her from his home in
spirit Of selfshness.
Indeed, there could be nothing more painful
than this story. Dickens, the historian and
chronicler of love, and true married peace and
duty, appears, after all, to have been selfish,
wilful and hayward. What we forgive to
Byron. and to others. we cannot FORGIVE to

JQleS Janin'S ROE0uet.

Forty years ago there existed, and
still exists, near the corridor which
leads to the Theatre Franchise, q flow
er-shop, known as the best to that
quarter of Paris. 1t was kept by one
Nine. Provost, an obliging and intelli-
gent woman, who understood marvel
ously well how to procure bouquets for
special occasions. She died In 1888,
and Jules Janin honored her by writing
her obituary with all the vigor and flu
ency of his fertile pen. The day after
its publication. a well-dressed young
man called upon the celebrated author.
"Sir," he said, 81 am the son-in-law
and successor in business of Nine.
Provost. The honor which you have
conferred upon that worthy woman can
hardly be estimated at its true value.
Permit me, however, to show my appre-
citation of it as best can. Once a week
henceforward, all the year round, in
winter as in summer, you Will receive
as a token of grateful remembrance a
bouquet from our establishment, ana
for thirty-six years the promise has
been faithfully kept. The last bouquet
was funeral one, and was destined for
the writer's coffin.

Value of Enthusiasm.

Life is an inconceivably beautiful
thing, so soon as we reach that point
whence We can look out upon it, through
a clear conscience and character well
buffetted by experience. The one diff
fuses pure, heavenly light over all the
strange and complex mass which meets
the eye, the other tones down our en-
thusiasm without destroying the vigor.
Enthusiasm is to the character what
blood is to the physical life-without it
lassitude, and finally death would
ensue. Upon its equality, however,
depends the beauty or deformity of the
life it nourishes. ideality is at the
bottom of the true enthusiasm ; the
striving after perfection makes the
great artist, the noble philanthropist,
the self-sacriicing. The idealist soon
discovers how easy it is TO appear civil,
courteous, respectable, virtuous how
difficult to be truly benevolent, tolerant,
and charitable hut is never satified
unless earnestly engaged in acquiring
the best he sees.

"T7e ledrss trere for he heaiiHg Of G's HatioHs."

By R. V. PIERCE, VI. D., of the WORLD
DIsPENsARY, Buffalo, n. Y.
Smart Weed, sometimes called Water Pc
per, but known by Botanists as PoiygonUm
| Punetdtum, is well known. very common
and modest little plant found growing in
bitches, low grounds, among rubbish and
about brooks and water-courses, Towering
in August and September. In many sec
tions of this country it is a deservedly
highly esteemed family remedy. The In
dians also make great use of this plant for
the cure of various diseases. But neither
the Indians nor the whites learned one
| tenth of the value of this modest little weed,
as they had no method of extracting its vir
tues without the application of heat, which
destroys most Of its properties, and usually
made tea from the dried herb, that had
been kept on hand for a long time until it
had lost most of its medical properties. No
educated Chemist had ever tried to make an
analysis of the plant and produce an extract
from it upon scientific principles, by cold
process, until |, having become convinced
of the wonderful medical virtues of this lit
tie weed, investigated its properties and
made an extract from the fresh herb, by a
cold process-using no heat at all, but
bringing out its juices. oils and volatile pro-
perties complete and unimpaired. If this
remedy had heretofore been valuable, when
prepared in the most crude manner, from
the long dried herb and by the application
Of heat, that destroyed so much of its vir-
tues, reasoned that it must, when properly
prepared, by cold process and from the
freshly dried herb, prove a wonderfully
efhcacious and potent remedy for human
suffering. And l can assure the people,
upon my honor, as professional man, that
in its use, since thus preparing it, my most
sanguine expectations have been more than
realized l have found it to contain medi-
cinal properties which sleeping in water
could not bring out at all, as they are re-
sinous principles. With my Extract, con-
tanning all these medicinal properties unim-
paired, l have been enabled to produce
most astonishing remedial effects. By much
study, large experience in prescribing this
and other medicines, and very close obser-
vation, l have been enabled to compound
and combine with the simple Extract of
Smart-Weed extracts of other medicinal
herbs and roots, that greatly improve its
power and usefulness, both as an internal
and external remedy-besides they so flavor
and modify it as to remove its pungent,
smarty taste, and render it pleasant remedy

Miscellany.
COurtship aud Marriage.

1t is singular fact, says Pari-
sian writer, that a man generally re-
quires very different qualities in wife
from those he admires in sweetheart.
While lover, be expected to see his
future wife neatly and stylishly dressed
whenever he chose to call, either morn
ing or evening. and the girl buisied
her little brain all day in efforts to
please his TASTE, If he left town for a
few days, he sent letters full of sweet
nothings that filed her soul with Joy.
Then came delightful rambles in the
moonlight and hours spent in charming
tete tetes after the family had retired,
when the two saw no one but each 9TH
er in their world OF love.
Alas that such bliss must ever be
dispelled. Time brought preparations
for the approaching wedding; for this
devoted couple imagined that their
happiness could never be complete
until the Hymeneal knot was tied.
So the wedding and honeymoon were
soon over, and the parties settled into
the matter fact part of life. The
bride knows nothing of housekeeping.
Since her schooldays she has spent her
time in studying the tastes of her lover,
which certainly seemed to incline to-
wards dress and sentimentality.
Now, alas she discovers that his
stomach demands food of the best quail
ity; and because she knows not how to
cater to his palate his love seems to be
waning. While he is vainly trying to
appease hunger with sour bread and
burned steak, little does he appreciate
the sweet nonsence and honeyed words
which used to be so satisfying to his
sentimental nature.
All, men are so unreasonable? They
expect to find every quality of excel
lence in the woman they marry, yet
have not penetration sufficient to
choose the most worthy. To shine in
society, to exhibit every feminine ac-
complishment,b both at home and abroad,
are duties which they require in the
woman they marry, and what
have they to give in return? 1t
seems impossible that those delicate
attentions which characterize the lover
should be so withdrawn by the hus-
band.
The other day when l heard neigh
Dor demanding his dinner in not the
most pleasant tone, thought, "Can it
be possible that he ever played the
ardent lover to that pale, detected wo-
man, whom he calls his wife?"
The lover who could scarcely tear
himself away from his sweetheart at
midnight is the same man who now
leaves his wife to spend her evenings
as best she may, while he passes the
hours in doubtful enjoyment.
All how soon men forget the solemn
vow to love and cherish till death
And how many women regret that the
charming delusions of courtship were
ever exchanged for the unpleasant re-
alities of marriage.

WHAT can be pleasanter than the life
of Missouri farmer? At daylight he
gets up and examines the holes around
his corn-hills for cut-worms then he
smashes coddling-moth larve with a
hoe-handle, until breakfast. The fore
noon is devoted to watering the potato
bugs with a solution of Paris green,
and after dinner all hands turn out to
pour boiling water on the chintz bugs
in the corn and wheat fields. In the
evening favorite occupation is smudg
ing peach trees to discourage the cur
culio, and after brief season of family
devotion at the shrine of the nightly
ing coleoptera, all the folks retire and
sleep soundly till Aurora reddens the
East, and the grasshoppers tinkle
against the panes and summon them to
the labors of another day.

the-by, was very neat one), in one
respect resembled him. The ladies in
the room commenced guessing what it
could be. AT last a smart-looking little

said, "Well, L don't know, unless it is

he endeavored to conceal it from the
public by buttoning his coat very
closely, imparting an abnormal stiffness
to his knees, and tripping over his own

out again backward without unbending
muscle. Straightway he recovered

How THEY FINALLY Cor MARRIED.
One long summer afternoon there came
to Mr.. Davidson's the most curious
specimen of an old bachelor the world
ever heard of. He was old, gray,
wrinkled and odd. He hated old women,
especially old maids, and wasn't afraid
to say so. He and Aunt Patty had it
hot whenever chance drew them to-
gether vet still he came, and il was
noticed that Aunt Patty took unusual
pains with her dress whenever he was
expected.
One day the contest waged unusually
strong, and Aunt Patty left in disgust
and went out into the garden.

as she stopped to gather flower which
attracted her attention.
"What did you run for ?" said a gruff
voice behind her.

"You didn't do it, did you?"
"No; you are worse than q burdock
