It gives me pleasure to add my testimony to the
virtues of your great medicine. One of my blooded
horses had swelling over the cap of the knee,
about the size of a hens egg. Some said it was a
strain, and some that it was the JOINT water from
the knee, and could not be cured. tried oil cedar

they did no more good than water. then, by per

TRUE ECoNoMY.-It Ihas been found
that the only true economy is that which
stops the little leaks and saves in trifes.
For instance, one saves in milk, butter,

Good housewives have proved this by

Rupert stood by her, but hurried glance
suficed to show that her fears were not
groundless His face was flushed and eager
but there was an accent in his tender voice
that Sara interpreted but too we'll they were
about to part. Not word was spoken till

Sara could not speak. She felt as if the
breeziest mountain-top could not afford her
one long breath she was choked and suffoca'
ted with horrible oppression. Rupert con-
tinued to talk of their blissful future, uncon-
scious of her torture. When they reached
the house on Franklin street, he dismissed the
carriage and supported Sara into the draw
ing-room. A few embers still glowed on the
hearth and as Rupert stood on the rug, face
to face with his betrothed, the scene so re.
Gently enacted there rushed over bis mind.
"sara, darling, forgive me for the pain I
caused you this evening! 1t was mere
thoughtlessness on my part, but / cannot bear
to leave you without an assurance that you

Sara bowed her head upon his arm, and her
clay-cold fingers closed over his. That mute
yet eloquent assurance was enough. Tears
filled his eyes, 80 long unused to weep; and
for several moments he could not control bis
voice. The toling of the neighboring church
clock reused him. "That is one, and l must
be off another hour"
He raised the dropping head from his arm,
and gazed with passionate, glistening eyes into
the face which had aroused in his wayward
heart the only true, unsullied affection it would
ever know. He bent his head to imprint the
last kiss upon those pure, and ever-faithful
lips, when Sara made desperate effort as il
to speak.
"Rupert, be true to me p she murmured in
a voice so faint that only the ear Of love could
have caught the huttering accents.
He folded her in his arms, and in tones
broken by intense emotion, exclaimed, vehe.

the gentle eyes fixed with such tenderness and
admiration upon his face, and thrill swept
over his wayward heart; feeling to which
he was utterly unaccustomed except in the
presence of this innocent girl-a kind Of self

CHAPTER II.

Winter had set in with unusual gayety at
the capital of the Confederacy. Hotels, hospl'
tails, soldiers homes, private houses, all were
filled with occupants from every part of the
country. Refugees from North, South, East
and West soldiers going to and returning
from home; members of Congress, office seek
ers and spectators; gay young ladies IN
search of amusement, and sad-faced women,
seeking lost sons and husbands-all made up
motley crowd, which will never be forgot
ten by any who formed part of it.
1t was a cold, clear afternoon, and two
ladies were strolling leisurely down the main
street of Richmond-Sara Howard, and her
aunt Agnes The elder lady, dressed with
Quaker.lke simplicity, afforded striking
contrast, in her quiet face and serene manner,
to the rich color and sparkling eyes of her
Young companion. Sara's light step was as
free and elastic as upon the hill sides of her
native county; her countenance glowing with
animation and renewed health, was even more
beautiful-the personation of bright, conf
ding, pure. hearted girlhood.
1--WE will get through our shopping at once
aunty," she said, as they passed through the
crowd of hurrying pedestrians, "and then
papa will Join US at the Capitol Square, on
our way to the House. He said he would be
disengaged by three, and it must be near that
now"
At that moment, troop of cavalry ap
peared, dashing up the street, their sabres
clashing against heavy spurs, their war-worn
steeds urged on by some unusual excitement
Sara stopped, suddenly, as her eye fell upon
an officer somewhat in advance. His face
was overshadowed by long black plume
but there was no mistaking that erect ano
graceful fgure-that inimitable horseman
ship.
1T is! Itis" she exclaimed, regardless o1
the wondering looks of passers by.
The cavalier raised his hat; a flash OF Joy
lit up his face he bowed to the saddle. bow
In another moment the whole troop had gal
loped past. :,
Trembling with excitement, Sara caugh
her aunt's hand and urged her forward.
"Let US go!'' she exclaimed, breathiessly,
'He will be at home before We reach there.
"And what will papa say when he finds us
missing at Capitol Square?" inquired he'
aunt, with demure smile.
ooh sure enough. We must hasten there
at once and tell him Rupert has come How
glad he will be !"

the Square, and found Mr. Howard waiting

"sHuT THE GATE Boys, shut the gate
after you'll You are going through, to be
gone just little while; you look around, and
not seeing anything likely to enter, you think
you will save little time by leaving it until
you return. So you drive along, and get
about half through with your job, when up
come the colts, attracted by the sight of your
team. Seeing the gate open, they dash in,
and away they 60, for soamper through the
garden, or field, as the case may be; you
shout at them and call the dog. He comes
rushing upon the scene, and takes after them
with evident delight. If you are very pru-
dent boy you first hitch your team to the
fence, and then run after the dog and colts.
By this time the hungry old SOW, that can
smell an open gate quarter of mile away,
no matter which way the wind blows, has
come up, and in she goes, with her whole prog.
eny. Now you get mad and call the dog away
from the colts and set him after the pigs. The
hired man hears the uproar, and comes to the
rescue He follows the colts and as they
come tearing along past the horses, they pull
at their halters and down come two or three
rods of fence, You are extremely lucky if
they do not run away and upset the wagon.
BY this time your mother comes into the melee.
She has sense enough to drive the dog to the
house, and by her intelligent help the field is
finally cleared, and order restored.
Probably you cannot earn enough in q week
to pay for the damage that is done, and it
might all have been prevented by just one
minute spent in shutting the gate after you.
! will venture the opinion that if there had
been an accurate account kept, since creation,
of the amount saved or lost by not shutting
the gate promptly after it was used, the loss
would exceed the gain by enough to put up
new gate on every farm in the United States.
I have known boys, and even men, to have
Just about the experience which have des-
cribed, over and over again, and yet they
never seem to learn the great economy and
security which lies in promptly shutting the
gate after them.-Y Young Folks Monthly.
