 serenIy-fiye dollars on the spot fer na- tive COW called Biddy.
 'sNow clear out with yorr Ayrshires!' said he, ,irascibly. 'Tm fool but l won't buy them, too"
 ''WeII. Squire, good day, said Aaron, with grin.
 But i am crcdibly informed that the nezt week he did come back with the two Ayrshires, and sold them to Grandfather, remarking to the farmer that he ''should ha' been darned fool to take the old gen. tlemaa ak his word; for he never knoweda a man banker arter harnsome stock but what he bought it, fust or last"
 Now I also discovered that the regiment George enlisted in was one whose Colonel knew well: so wrote and asked about Sergeant Adams. My report was highly honorable to George, but some bad news in it: he had been severely wounded In the right leg, and, though recovering, would be disabled from further service. A fortnight after drove into Hanerford with Grandfather Hollis, and we stopped at the old bakery. It looked exquisitely heat in the shop, as we'll as prosperous ex- formally, and Dely stood behind the couu- ter with a lovely child in her arms. Grandfather bought about half bushel of crackers and cookies, while played with the baby. AS he paid for them he said fn his kind old voice that nobody can hear without pieasure,-
 ''I believe l have pet of yours in my barn at Avondale, Mrs. Adams"
 Dely's eyes lighted up, and quick flush of feeling glowed on her pretty face.
 ''Oh, Sir! you did buy Biddy, then and you are Squire Hollis?"
 s'Yes, Ma'am, and Biddy is well, and we'll cared for, as fat and slick as mole, and still comes to her name"
 Thank you kindly, Sir!' said Dely, with an emphasis that gave the simple phrase most earnest meaning.
 And how IS your husband, Mrs. Adams?" said I.
 4 deeper glow displaced the fading blush Grandfather had called out, and her beau- tiful eyes flashed at me.
 Quite well, thank you, and not so very lame. And he's coming home next week"
 She took the baby from ma, ,as she spoke, and, looking in its bright little face, said,-
 'Call him, Baby r
 ''Pa-pa !" said the child.
 elf ever you come to Avondale, Mrs. Adams, come and see my cows" said Grandfather. as he gathered up the reins. ''YOu may be sure won't sell Biddy to anybody but you"
 Dely smiled from the steps where she stood and we drove away.

Dr. J. Walkers California Vim egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sier- ra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extract ed therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, "What is the cause of the unparalleled success of VINEGAR BrrTERs?" Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and life-giving prin- cipIe, perfect Renovator and 1nvigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has medicine been com pounded possessing the remarkable quail ities of VINEGAR B1TTERs in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are gentle Purgative as well as Tonic, reliev- ing Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, ill Bilious Dis eases.

gloss and freshness of yOasth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and badness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the foIlicles are de- stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, so that new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling of, and consequently prevent badness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma- tion of dandruff, which is often so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju- rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm 1t. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy lustre, and grateful perfume.
