IN AUGUSTA.
On Tuesday the people observed the sacred and
pleasing duty Of decking with flowers the graves
OF the soldiers of the late war. The day was one
OF great beauty in the outward world; the rain of
the previous night had washed the face of nature,
purified the atmosphere, and gave q bright, cheer
iul, clear look to the landscape. Nature seemed to
atone foi past delnqucncies by giving to the few
last hours of spring time, beauty and freshness
that made them fitting introduction to the charms
that await US in the coming summer months.
Memorial day was celebrated in this city with
unusual interest, and in the orderly manner beft-

tive at that time that she could have
had no need to 90 begging for wooers.
She was plump to point of voluptu,
business, graceful in her movements,
full of animation. Her dark eyes
were very bright with intelligence,
high spirit and tender fire, Her
black hair was abundant, her mouth
was sensuous, bat we'll shaped and
osculatoriIy seductive. She talked
well and her manners were engaging.
Moreover she had a degree Of impu-
doncc, not to say audacitv, which Is
captivating to men in any young and
comelv woman to whom they are not
related by blood or marriage. No
one who sees her now, or Who had
made her acquaintance after she was
thirty, would believe the portraiture
correct. The beauty of Isabel, like
that of so many Spanish women, pass
ed with her youth. A homCier, less
reginal women than she ha3 been fer
the last ten years it would be hard
to find.

AN ENGLISX HERO.

A story comes to us from the West

Bretc Hartc or Colonel John Hay
would found a poem The other day
gang of laborers were employed
stacking blocks Of stone on a perma-
nent way of the Great Western rail-
road between Keypsham and Bristol.
In fact, the operation Of stone stack
ing was carried on within q few yards
Of the BrisIington tunnel. 1t vas at
the time Of day when tie most Won
derfuI express train in the world,
called The Flying Dutchman, was
expected, and by some uniucky accl-
dent large block Of stone rolled
down the em5ankment and lodged on
! the railway line. At this instant the
roar Of the "FIyins Dutchman was
heard in tie tunnel. There was not
moment to be lost, so swiftly down
the track sped one OF the brave nav
vics 10 remove the stone and save
hundreds Of innocent lives or perish
in the attempt. lie had q wife and
family at home but he never thought
Of them. HIS life WAS in his hand,
but he never Thought Of that Down
the steep embanliment sped the brave
fellow, nervod with the comblncd
strength of Sisyphus and Atlas. to
move the stone and save his fellow
creatures. On sped the Flying
Dutchman. "QuicE, for yonr lie,
jim, shouted the companions on the
bank. Alas it.was Just too late;
the s;onc WAS rolled out Of the way,
but the hero was cut to pieces by the
fangs Of the mHrlerous train. This
is as grand and noble a story as ever
was toll. 1t is finer than the ia le Of

story is told with such impetn us vigor

And went for it thar and them
And Christ amt a-gon to be too hard
On a man that died for men.
If ever there was a brave fellow
who laid down his life for the sake Of
fellow creatures, it was this hero Of
Brislington tunnel. His wife and
children ought to be looked after, and
have no doubt come under the consid-
erarion of the citizens of Bristol. But
the story ought to live forever.

Two Important Discoveries! The discov-
cry of America by Columbus, and DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery; the one
opening up to mankind new continent,
the other q fountain of health, which is in
dispensable to the full enjoyment of life and
its blessings. In response to the above sen.
timent come the unsolicited attestatiOns Of
tens of thousands of grateful patients, who
have been relieved of chronic ailments
through its instrumentality. Those voices
are limited to no one locality, but from
every city, village, and hamlet in our broad
domain, as well as from other climes, and
in the strange utterances of foreign tongues,
like the confused murmur of many waters,
come unfeigned and hearty concentrations.
It is, in combination with the Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets the great depurator OF the
age. Under its benign action eruptiOns dis
appear, excessive waste is checked, the
nerves are strengthened, and health, long
banished from the system, resumes her
reign and re-estabishes her roseate throne
upon the cheek. All who have thoroughly
tested its virtue in the diseases for which il
is recommended unite in pronounciDg it the
great MedicaLDscovery Of the age.
