A BedOuin Heroine.

Foreign journals publish romantic
story of an Arab girl who has been the
leader in their combats with the Turks.
The girl was the daughter of a chief,
and was married to a warrior of her
tribe, who was murdered by the Turks.
The young widow made a VOW to
avenge his death upon the soldiers of
the Padishah. The Emir, touched by
the prayers and tears of his child,
called upon the tribe, the whole Of the
Bedouin horsemen of the Benz Kawas
rising in consequence against the DOM
ination of the Padishah. The daugh-
ter of the Emir, armed like the men,
and carrying their banner, like Joan
Of Arc, was always foremost in their
attacks upon the enemy, closely follow
ed by her father, the Emir, her brothers
and the remainder Of the horsemen.
The Turkish Government has seta price
on her head, in order to capture her
and to stop the slaughter of the SOL
diers. The Arabian poets have made
the heroine the subject of their songs,
and she is now the most famous person.

A Printers Dream.

A printer sat in his Office chair, his
boots were patched and his coat thread
bare, while his face looked weary and
worn with care, while sadly thinking
Of business debt, old Morpheus slowly
round him crept, and before he knew
it he SUDDENLY slept; and sleeping he
dreamed that he was dead from trnnhln
-~I UOII his spirit had fled, and that
not even COW bell tolled. for the
peaceful rest of his COW hide sole. As
he wandered among the shades, that
smoke and scorch in lower Hades, he
shortly observed an iron door, that
creakingly swung on hinges ajar, but
the entrance was closed by a red-hot
bar and Satan himself stood peeping
out, and watching for travellers there
about, and thus to the passing printer
spoke, and with growing voice the
echoes woke: "Come in my dear, it
shall cost you nothing and never fear
this is the place where cook the ones,
who never pay their subscription sums,
for though in life they may escape,
they will find when dead it is too late;
l will show the place where 1 melt
them thin, with red-hot chains and
scraps of tin, and also where I comb
their heads with broken glass and melt
ed lead, and if of Refreshments they
only think, there's boiling water for
them to drink; there's red-hot grind
stone to grind down his nose, red-hot
rings to wear on his toes, and if they
mention the don't like fire, I'll sew up
their mouths with red-hot wire; and
then, dear sir, you should see them
squirm while l roll them over and cook
to a turn" With these last words the
printer awoke, and thought it all a
practical joke; but still at all times so
real did it seem, that he cannot believe
it was all dream; and often he thinks
with chuckle and grin, of the fate of
those who save their tin, and never
pay the printer.

GFOr the HERALD
The Noble Sons of Toll.
BY ALFRED AsHBY JR.

The farmer in the morning rises
Ere the light of day appears;
In time to sleep the sluggard prizes.
For his work each man prepares:
His oxen ready, standing, waiting,
Horses strong to till the soil;
And every one gives welcome greeting
To the noble sons OF toll.
They toll to-day, for bread tomorrow
For their needs they store away,
Driving off all care and sorrow,
Working for a future day;
And lead life that's independent,
Nothing can modest or foil
And all the joys to man attendant,
Have the noble sons of toll.
They go on sowing. reaping moving,
Have employment all the time;
To see their crops. green and growing
Is of scenes the most sublime.
All warriors, lawyers and physicians,
With their riches and their spoil;
Oh what would be their sad condition
Without the noble sons of toll?
God bless the men of labor, giving
Great success to every plan;
For all the world obtains living
From the lab'ring toiling man.
In all the bloody wars Of nations;
In the wide worlds great turmoil,
They all have to obtain their "rations"
From the noble sons of toll.

THE CEDAR CHEST.

The Reynolds country seat stood on
the banks of the Hudson; a more en-
chanting spot could nowhere be found,
with its terraces sloping down to the
waters edge, covered with a beautiful
green sward resembling the finest vel
vet. The house itself was a safely old
building of gray stone, two sides of
which were completely covered with
ivy and other graceful vines. The in
terror was not less beautiful the rooms
were large and handsomely furnished,
and the spacious halls, which ran
through the entire house, were hung
with pictures of the Reynolds ances-
tors.
Mr.. Charles Reynolds, the only sur
viving member of large family, had
married a beautiful girl much younger
than himself, but she died a year after
the marriage, leavinghim an only child,
a daughter. Mr.. Reynolds adored this
child, and well he. might, for she in
deed was a lovely girl, and beauty was
not her only attraction, for she pos
sessed a true woman's heart, and a
spirit so brave that few equalled her in
that respect. At the time we write
Kate was only eighteen, having just
completed her education; she had just
returned'home, but, finding it oppress-
i've in the city, they repaired to their
summer residence. Kate had invited
a school mate to spend part of the
summer with her, and the invitation
had been eagerly accepted by Maud
Conyngham, for that was her friends
name.
1t was late in the afternoon Kate
and Maud were standing out on one of
the little verandas, waiting for Mr..
Reynolds and admiring the scenery,
which indeed was grand. The sun
was slowly sinking in the west, casting
its reddening glow over the water,
which lay but a short distance from
them. My readers, perhaps if you
had been present at that scene YOU
wonld have paid little heed to the sur
roundings, for 1 think your attention
wonld have been attracted to the two
maidens, who indeed presented a strik-
ing contrast. Kate was a bright,
sprightly brunette, with dark, flashing
eyes, and features by no means perfect;
but the whole expression of her coun-
tenance was so frank and intelligent
that she could not but attract admira-
ton I; while, on the other hand, Maud
was perfect blonde, with golden hair
ripping in soft, loose waves over her
well-shaped forehead her eyes were

A PHILADELPHIA saloon-keeper has

A CHICAGO youth went back on
his engagement, because he overheard
his sweetheart say that she had been
folded in the arms Of Morpheus
They aren't very classic out there, but
they're virtuous.
WHILE her mother was washing the
dishes a Troy young woman got up
from her New York Ledger and wrote:
NV heart, my heart is breaking
And the sun my head is baking,
But hope is softly waking,
That shall yet be loved.
The second night after her first hus-
band died, she sat by the open cham

the cats to begin fighting in the back
yard. Said she: "This thing of 60

kind is so new that 1 can't stand it.

A BRIGHT young lady gave her slow
lover a delicate leap-year hint the 9TH

sation the gentleman asked her what
form Of marriage she thought the most
beautiful. Her quick reply was, Il
should care little for form. The sub
stance seems of more Importance.
That girl wears an engagement ring

Woman.

Place her among flowers, foster her

real calamity come-arouse her affec.
tions-enkindle the FIRE of her heart
and mark her then; how her heart
strengthens itself, how strong is her
purpose. Place her in the heat of bat
tie, give her a child, bird, anything
she loves to protect, and see her, as in
an instant, raising her white arms to
shield it as her own blood crimsons her
uPturned forehead, praying for life to
protect the lifeless. Transplant her
in the dark palaces of earth-awaken
her energies to action, and her breath
becomes a healing, her presence a
blessing. She disputes, inch by inch,
the stride of stalking pestilence, when
man the strong and brave, shrinks
away pale and affrighted. Misfortune
daunts her not; she wears away life
of silent endurance, and goes forward
with less timidity to her grave than to
her burial.
In prosperity she is a bud full of
odOrs. waiting but for the winds of adj
versity to scatter them abroad, pure
gold voluable but united in thefurnace.
In short, woman is a miracle mys-
terry, the center from which radiates
the great charm of existence.

A Beautiful Sentiment.

Anaval officer being at seain adread-
full storm, his wife sitting in the cabin
near him, filled with alarm for the
safety Of the vessel, was so surprised
at his serenity and composure that she
cried out:
"My dear, are you not afraid? How
is it possible that you can be so calm
in such dreadful storm?"
He arose from his chair, dashed it
to the deck, drew his sword, and point
ing it at the breast of his wife exclaim-
ed:
"Are you not afraid?"
She Immediately answered, "No."
"Why ?" said the officer.

To Friend and Foe.
BY LAMONT.

Farewell, and all that grieve me
Forgiveness is truly thine,
And friends who still believe me
A heart that loved you,all, is mine.
Oh, bitter fatel Oh, cruel doom!
That mOcks trusting heart with Joy,
Then turns its sunshine into gloom
And all its brightest hopes destroy.
Can naught appease the tickle crowd
But sacrifice of human bliss2
Or can the darkOned pail and shroud,
Charm pallid Envy's serpent hiss2
They knew not that the malice
WhichVenom shot with fendish art,
Would act like poisoned chalice
To still the current of q heart.
IT'S true the faults were many
And often caused the blush of shame,
OF mankind are there any
Can claim on earth a sanity name 7
Though now bowed down with sorrow,
kneel before my Makers will,
For God is God tomorrow
And man is but the mortal still
Then, farewell, all that grieve me
Forgiveness is truly thine,
And friends who still believe me
A heart that loves you all, is mine.

A WET Sunday night effect

A WET Sunday night effects two
classes of lovers in opposite ways. To
him who is engaged it is god-send, as
it enables him to snug up to her in the
parlor, and have the whole evening to
himself; but to the other lover-he
who is not engaged-a rainy Sunday
night is most painful episode. His
footing at the house isn't sure enough
to warrant his going there through the
storm, and all he can do is to attend
the church and stand in the vestibule,
and pull up his shirt collar in the de-
string hope that she may appear. She
don't, of course, and he goes back to
his dreary home wretched and misera-
bic beyond description. o, those days

A Flower that Changes its Color.

Botany is a division of natural science which
treats of plants, and study of vegetable phisiol-
ogy must be the foundation of botanical knowl
edge-a study only possible by ytheimprovements
in the microscope and in organic chemistry. AS
plants are not scattered haphazard over the earth,
botanical geography must be studied, and, with
this, plant history. Botany may be applied inthe
wants of every day life, as in agriculture, horti-
culture, or medical botany. Animals often eX-
hibit marvellous instinct in selecting medicinal
herbs and an observation OF their habits has often,
even in the present time led to most valuable dis
coveries. And should man, with his knowledge
and appliances fail discover less than the brute?
It is Of medical botany we would speak, or OF the
HEPATINE PLANT, discovered in Southern
Nubia, the flower Of which changes its color with
every change of the atmosphere. The remarka-
BILE changes and variations of this plant and flower
have been for years our special study, resulting
in the discovery Of its possession of wonderful
medical properties, the existence and value OF
which have heretofore been unknown to medical
science. Alter much labor and scientific investi-
CATION, we have succeeded in extracting it's pecu,
liar medicinal principles. which is aspecific and
cure for all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and
Bowels; permanent cure for Dyspepsia, Spleen,
Indigestion, Constipation, Jaundice, and all Bill
ious Complaints Of course we cannot send
living flower of this plant to all who read OF Hep
atine but all who send their address to MERRELL

the same as the real Hepatine Flower. The med
