WEST FAIRLEE, VI, Jan. IL, 1871.
Dear Sir.-For seven or eight years past
have been in poor health and for the past
year or more very feeble. My health continu-
ed to decline, and my flesh and strength vast
ed away until was unable to work or even go
up stairs without great exhaustion. | suffered
from frequent and distressing attacks OF pal
pitation OF the heart my food distressed me,
causing acidity and pain in the stomach, and
suffered from extreme nervousness, constlpa-
tion and debility OF the system generally. my
blood being thin and poor, and sluggish IN CIR
culation, and was for years suffering all the
fortunes OF confined dyspeptic. About six
months since concluded L would try bottle
Peruvian Syrup, ana received 30 much benefit
from it that purchased five bottles more, and
have continued the use OF the Syrup until quite
recently. 1t has restored my health to such an
extent that feel myself as good as new. My
digestion is good, and my weight has increased
IN the past four months from 100 to 1873 pounds,
my strength has returned and my general
health is wonderfully improved. and l can truly
say owe it all to the use of your Peruvian
Syrup. l earnestly recommend all sufferers
from dyspepsia and debility to give it a trial,
hoping IT will do them as much good as 1t has
me. Yours very truly,

CL[fF HOUSE.

oh, look, Lena, what little gem
Of a picture
1t hung in the best place in Mr.
Guerneys shop, where the slanting
sunset light gave glimmer ofpositive
reality to the green waves breaking
on the strand, and touched the tiny
rose colored shells with a yet pinker
gleam and Lena Oliphant looked up
on it with instructive admiration.
Yes, she said, after a second or
two, it's very lovely. l should like
to buy it if we were rich. But come
Isabella, we shall be late.
And the two young girls hurried
away, their gray muslin skirts rust
ling softly, and the faint scent Of the
clusters Of mignonette that they wore
in their belts following them as they
walked.
Adolphus Chevering. who had been
carelessly turning over portfolio of
drawings at the back of the shop his,
dark, handsome face shaded by the
brim Of his hat, came forward as they
left the little place.
Two very pretty faces, said he in
differently.
Yes, sir, they are very beautiful
young ladies' Miss Lena is giving
music lessons to the young ladies that
come to Seaclf this season for air and

pooned him, and the estate was willed
to distant cousin.
This announcement surprised Adol-
plus, and he hastily left the shop.
Give music lessons, ell {? said
Adolphus to himself. And work fine
needlework ! There are two sides, it
seems, to every mundane question:
And they never told me, when I re-
ceived the notification that old Ban

and he pressed a kiss on the low, broad
forehead upturned to him.
oh, Charlie, you can not even guess
how sorry I am for past naughtiness
And instead of frowning, l intend to
smile always said Sarah, playfully
but there was the sound of tears in
the light words which caused Charlie
to whirl her suddenly round to face
him.
See here, Sarah, what have you
been doing to my little wife to-day? ?
oh, Charlie, have been taking her
to task for her abominable selfshness,
and lay out an entire new course for
her in future
'Selyhness, darling? don't under
stand began Charlie.
'Understand-I know you don't; it
is impossible for one like you to guess
att. But you will soon know what
different person | mean to be in the
future.
u do not want different person in
my wife, so pray do nothing rash )
and passing his arm about her walst,
he executed a dizzy waltz once around
the room.
4 say, Charlie, be quiet l want to
ask you something.
Say on, Sarah, and lie had already
made up his mind to let her 90 for
some weeks to the city.
will YOU take me to fathers on
Thursday, to meet all our friends usu-
ally assembled there on Christmas :?
Sarah, are you in earnest, and do
you really wish to go?'
I truly do, Charlie, and | feel sure
of day Of real enjoyment.
I am certain everything will be
quite different from what you have
fancied it, darling; only consent tc
know my mother and sisters and you
will never regret it. And father, too
he oiteu talks of other things than
crops and stock.
oh, Charlie, forgive me am sorry
for such silly talk | feel that | can
never forsi i've myself for such utter
| foolshncss.
A most delightful day the next
Thursday proved; and no one was
happier than our little lady, who was
in great danger Of being as badly pct.
ted and spoiled by Charles s father and
mother as ever she had been by him
self.

A FRIEND IN NEED.

No! Will you take that for an an
swer? | have tried hard to be excused,
but you will accept from me no reason
for staying at home, so you must take
a plain refusal
1T will be the last thing you will
ever refuse me.
Charles Thornton hastily Quilted
the breakfast room without another
word or look for the lady who presi-
ded at the liable, and who was wholly
disconnected by this unlocked for pro-
ceeding on his part.
With flashing eyes she looked out
of the window, saw her husband mount
his horse and dash madly away from
her sight.
I'll pay him for this in his own
coin on his return he will find me in
the same mood as he left me-
Turning away from the window,
her ewes caught those Of her old friend,
Miss Potter, fixed on her in sad sur
prise.
What words are those you mutter
50 angrily, Sarah . ask ed the elderly
lady.
I was saying would pay that hus,
band of mine for the exhibition Of
such temper; he never even SAID
good morning as he left.
Sarah. dear, we're you not lunch
more to blame than he for the manner
Of his leave takiug?'
4 to blame for Charlie s abominable
temper, Aunt Potter? How can you
attach blame to Inc for his rudencss 2
A shower Of tears were imminent ;
but Miss Potter, nothing daunted,
kept on.
My dear, does it not occur to you
how severely you have tried his tenn
per by SO persistently refusing to go
TO his father s-to this family re-
union .
We'll, | don't care; why will he
tease me to 90 to that old farm house
to meet all those dreadful people 2
'Iou do not care DO Won really
mean what your words imply?'
4 mean Just what | say, Sarah re-
piled, with slightly elevated eye
brows.
Nay, Sarah, if really believed
you knew the cruel meaning of those
words, | should also know you had
not one mite Of unselfsh love for the
man you so fondly at times call bus
band, and the advice | am about to
offer would be worse than thrown a.
way
Nonsense, auntie it is not a ques-
ton of love at all; but because have
a perfect horror Of meeting all those
country friends and relatives of his,
and be bored to death by an incessant
! talk Of stacks and crops, I must need
be accused Of not loving my hus
band.
Sarah, you must forgive me, but
for the sake of your future happiness
| must talk plainly to you. Shall |
60 on, darling?'
My dearest auntie, you know you
could say nothing to your wayward
Sarah that could possibly require for
giveness. So pray 60 on; let me see
the full extent of nv natural wicked
ness
Sarah, when you married Charles
Thornton, you knew his life was to be
lived among his country friends, yet
you seemed happy in your choice and
more than contented with the home lr
