PART LII.


Dawson Pember Esquire found
before three years had elapsed, that,
in disencumbering his estates, he
had encumbered himself with wife
whom he could not love. Every day
widened the breach between them.
Mutual recrimination frequently took
place, and this but served to add
fuel to the growing fame of their
dislike. .. .r.-.
A matrimoial dispute had gone al
most to its utmost limits when we
again drop in upon the scene.
i ought to have known You were
fortune-hunter, said Mrs. Pember
with tawny eye, stung by a remark
of her husband relative to hides /;
what a. pity I had no well used in
stinct to warn me against one, who
made a commerce of his BIRTH"
Goaded to madness by the last
retort, Mr.. Pember seized his wife s
arm.
at was a pity you broke a heart
to throw yourself away on me-" he
hissed; '.you had instinct enough to
prefer a gentleman to clown
Broke his heart" she echoed

sentence. His look of rage changed
to one of alarm, as his wife, turning
deadly pale, tainted away.

He santered to the sideboard, took
therefrom a goblet of water and
dashed it in Mrs. PembeTs face.
Having deposited her upon the sofa,
he thrust his hands in his breeehes
pockets, and sulked out of the house.

fearful pallor, her eyes still cleaned

ono Excuse For Being Sick, ;,

''NO Excuse For Being Sick"
To the Editor of the 1Iorristown Gazette:
Those five little words stare me
in the face from nearly every news
paper I pick up. yours not excepted.
NO EXCUSE FOR BEING SICK:
As good as to say, you have no
occasion to die (for, but few ever
die a natural death without first be-
ing sick) if you will but take the
medicine we recommend, which only
costs the small sum Of IS cents per
bottle.
Now, Mr. Editor, it is my opinion
that you are doing very wrong in
publishing these things to the world !;
not but what l believe every word
contained in the different articles
recommending the medicine but 1
look at the effects it will have on
society. See what it has already
done, all who have read and tested
the virtues of the medicine are salts
fed, and therefore fear death no
longer. You may know this from
the actions and transactions of men.
Take up the Comptroller's report,
and you will at once make the sad
discovery that ut least two-thirds of
the Tax Collectors and other officials
have been using this valuable medi-
cine, and no longer fear the monster
death" Office holders generally
have long since learned the virtues
Of this wonderful medicine, and are
governing themselves accordingly.
The wisest men Of our nation, it
seems, learned the virtues of this
medicine first, and their faith was so
strong, that in the Congress of the
United States, they laid aside all
fear of a punishment after death,
voted themselves millions of back
pay, and exclaimed in all their glory,
"Oh grave where is thy Victory, Oh
death where is thy Sting" 1t is
believed by some that our noble
President has learned the great
value of this medicine, and that he
uses it daily; at least it is said he
uses something from a bottle, and
that after using it, his actions denote
that he hath not the fear of God be-
fore his eyes. Grant being the
and taking this medi-
cine, renders it uncertain what part
of the body it will operate upon.
He took an overdose not long since,
and it worked out the Legislature of
and another, and he threw
mp the Governor and Constitution of
Arkansas. This is a dangerous ex-
pertinent. and my advice to all news
paper men is to stop advertising the
medicine. Enough have already
earned its virtues, and if things
lave to remain in this condition. /
ear l shall regret the day I partoole |
If it. Our country is ruined. My !
advice to you is. stop, cry aloud, |
jpare not, against the further use of |
his medicine. THos. BAscUM.

PART III.
Although Dawson Pember had
failed for the time being in his own
money making scheme, he yet had
sufficient interest to procure his new
found friend a situation. Pythias
devoted his leisure hours to Damon S
Southern affairs with such success
that, in less than a year, better
terms were Obtained from the credi-
tors. and matters began to brighten
a little in the Southern horizon. 1t
was even hinted that if Dawson
Pember choose to live quietly for a
dozen years or so, he might regain
what his father had lost. Py ythias
had also found time to write for the
papers, and his articles attracted no
small amount of attention. Damon
patronized him. told the story of his
rescuing a diamond from the mud,
lending" it to society.
A year afterwards it happened
that Miss Julia Wealthwait, whose
father had made all his money in
hides, and whom our Southern gen.
tleman had resolved to make Mrs.
Pember, looked it into her head to
fall in love with the Bear. She con-
trived in an awfully mysterious way.
