eu. could not sleep, and wrap
ped securely in dark shawl, | sat
at my window behind the jalousies
and gazed out upon the wondrous
beauty of the night.
| had sat thus an hour, when low
voicee attracted my attention. One
l detected-my husbands vioic !;
the other, woman's, unfamiliar to
my ear, and hoarse, as if the speak
er struggled to repress some pro-
found emotion.
"Why did you come ?" I heard
my husband say. "I forbid you,
and if Helena should learn of this,
she would prove troublesome, pa
tient and subdued as she appears"
$50 you have crushed the white
birds fluttering wings, have you,
Pedro p the woman answered.
"You well know how to perform
such feats."
"Ha--ha! Well said but yours
was never crushed, my proud Lo-
reno. You will go at noon, will
you not 2"
"Oh, no 4! I must remain one day
more. Ihave come so far and wait
ed so long to see you."
''But Helena-"
"Oh, I pity her! l must stay,
but pity her!"
"You need not. / tire of the
puny, pale, spiritless creature.
She'll die some day-disappear as
many others have done and then
you shall come back and reign sole
mistress.
"Whatl stain that pearly skin
with her life's blood9"
"Ha-hal Who i say, can stand
in my path, when / wish to remove
themG But hist! yonder is her
window-speak lower"
And they moved on, while I,
sick with horror, crawled to my
couch, to lie and think shudder-
ingly what / had heard.
"Hist-hist y
There surely my name was whis-
pered under the window. / crept
through the lattice. A note was
pushed through the jalousies, and
a dark figure glided away.
1t turned at a distance, and the
rays of the moon fell upon an mp
lifted face. Oh, horror! 1t was
the face of a Cuban lady, whom /
had seen at Saratoga, a reigning
belle at the time met my husband.
When the first dawn of morning
appeared, / read my note.
"I am lone woman, like your
self" it said, "and once / was in
nocent. But now / am guilty and
would risk much to win back that
devil you call husband. BE ready
tomorrow at midnight cnnd I will
aid your escape from this den of
robbers and send you to your
friends"
How the hours dragged on in
their interminable length. Pre-
sently at midnight my door swung
silently open. I followed the dark
figure to where our spirited animals
were tied, and in the deep stiffness
of the night we sped with an ar
row-like swiftness over the plain.
In three days we reached sea-
port. A vessel was ready to sail
for New York. My companion
accompanied me on board.
On my twentieth birthday /
drove to my mothers home, and
it's not strange she failed to recog-
nize the blooming girl she consign-
ed to fate worse than death. i
am now twenty-five, but look as
though fifty winters had shed their
SHOWS upon me. The brilliant
match was to q notorious robber
chief-a terror and dread to all the
land.
Mothers, this is no fancy sketch,
but true tale, and remember, b1
making your daughters future
look to true worth and less glitter.

John Randolph in Church.

Mr.. Randolph was great Bible reader,
and was deeply concerned with religious
SUBJECTS. He employed an excellent and
eloquent man, Mr.. Abner Clopton, to
preach every Sunday to his negroes in a
| large chapel he had erected on his plan
tation. When at home he invariably at
| tended these services, taking his seat by
which the preacher conducted the SER
vices.
On many occasions while kneeling be-
side the preacher, who was prone 10 be
carried away by the tervor of prayer,
Randolph would slap him on the back
and call out loudly: "Clopton, that won't
| do; that's no sound doctrine; Clopton,
| take that back" and If Clopton remon-
strated Randolph, though keeping him
self on his knees, was ready at once for
an argument to maintain his point. No
one but Mr.. Clopton, who knew the eccen-
tricity and honest motives of the man,
could have borne with these irreverent in
terruptions while in the midst ofprayer;
| but Mr.. Clopton, when he found Ran
dolph determined to argue the point,
either. gracefully yielded or proposed to
note the point and argue it at the dwell
ing house. 10 visitors at the chapel
and they were many-these scenes were
| exceedingly curious, and sometimes alb
isurdly ludicrous. But that was Mr..
Randolph's way. 1t is'said that on one
cold Sunday in this chapel on MIR. Ran
dolph's plantation, while giving out
the hymn in the old-:ashioned way, two
lines at time, and lit was
being Justify sung by the negroes Mr.
| Clopton, the preacher, observed a negro
man put his foot, upon which was a new
brogan, on the hot stove. Turning to-
ward him, he said, in his measured voice
1"You rascal, you; you'll burn your
Shoes" AS this was a rhyme of the exael
metre of the hymn, the negroes al
fsung it in their loudest tones. Smil
ing at the error, the preacher at
tempted mildly to explain by saying
"My colored friends, indeed yea 7ar'
wrong; l didn't intend that for thu
song" there it was in again another
rhy me in good measure, so the negroes
sung that, TOO, in pious tervor. Turning
to his congregation, the preacher said
somewhat Sharply, 81 hope you will mo-
sing again until have had time to ex
iplain;" but this only aroused the ne
groes, who sang helast words with in
creased vigor. Alr. Clopton, feeling that
! his tongue seemed to be turned to rhyme
t abandoned all efforts atexplanation AM
j went on with his services.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams sent this
entirely sound and sensible reply to a
Boston man who urged him to become
am independent candidate for Governor
of Massachusetts, in order TO make him

do would avail to change them. Yousay
that things are managed in such a way
as to suppress the true sense OF the peo

people really have an opinion. 1t is
only when the people are Indifferent or

.F0R THE BLOOD Is THE LIFE,n

See Deuteronomy, xxi: 90. The blood being
the source from which the system is built up
and from which we derive our mental as well as
physical capabilities, how. important that it
should be kept pureI If it contain vile,, fes-
tering poisons, all organic functions become
enfeebled Settling upon important organs, as
the lungs, liver and kidneys, the effect is most
disastrous Henceit behooves all to keep their
blood in a perfectly healthy condition, and
more especially does this apply at this partic-
ular season Of the year than at any other. NO
matter what the exciting cause may be, the
real cause of large proportion OF all diseases
is bad blood Now, Dr. Pierce docs not wish
to place his Golden Medical Discovery in the
catalogue of quack patent nostrums, by recon-
|mendlng it to cure every disease, nor does ne
recommend it; on the contrary, there are hum
dreds of diseases that he acknowledges it will
not cure; but what he does claim is this, that
there is but one form OF BLOOD disease that 1t
will not cure, and that disease is cancer. He.
does not recommend his Discovery for that dis
ease, yet he knows it to be the most searching
blood cleanser vet discovered, and that it will

CONFIRMED HIP JOINT DISEASE
CURED.
W. GROVE STATION, Iowa.
DIR. PIERCE Buffalo, N. Y:
DEAR SfR-My wife first became lame nine
years ago. swellings would appear and dis
appear on her hip, and she was gradually be-
coming reluced, and her whole system rotten
with disease. In 1871, swelling broke on her
hip, discharging large quantities, and since
that time there are several openings. Have
had five doctors, at an expense of SIPS, who
say nothing will do any good but surgical
operation. ....
July IL, 1873, he wiites thus: My wife has
certainly received great benefit from the use
of your Discovery, She was not able to get off
the bed and was not expected to live week
when she commenced using it q year ago. She
has been doing most OF her work for over six
months Has used twenty BOTTLES. and still
| using It, Her recovery is considered almost as
| o miracle and we attribute 1t all TO the use Of
your valuable medicine. l can cheerfully re-
commend it as a blood-purlfer and strength
| restorer. j. nj. ROBINSON.
