for the drawing-room. Mrs. Shoddy
turned to her husband, and said
You have complained about head
ache. They will probably sing and play
little upstairs, and the noise may do
you no good"
The poor man sat down with groan
The elder son said II will remain here
with father" but his mother persisted
that he should go along. Miss Pumper-
nickel was there. He went along with
a sigh.
The steps which we mounted were
elegant. The hall upstairs was lit with
skylight chandeliers of the newest fash
ion. The drawing-room was simply
gorgeous. -Four or five young ladies
with two or three young gentlemen were
in the room. Miss Shoddy sat at the
piano, which was open. She was a
plump, fair-complexioned girl of about
eighteen years Of age. By her manners
you could see that she could better
dance waltz than play it, and play a
waltz better than hem handkerchief !;
she could talk better than write, and
pronounce more correctly than spell a
word She was willful spoiled child !;
she was the only daughter of Mrs. and
Mr.. Shoddy.
We were of course welcomed by the
party. Some pieces were sung and
played. Mrs. Shoddy withdrew with
Mr.. I'll. into the next room she had
some important business to talk to him
The elder Shoddy sat down by me and
spoke very bitterly against Mr.. Fl. He
said that since that man was visitor at
their house, Mrs. Shoddy treated her
husband shamefully.
1T was a shame he said, to leave
father alone downstairs"
why did he not come up ?" [ asked.
Because mother did not want him to.
She always excludes him from company,
and oftentimes sends him to bed at
seven in the evening while she remains
up with the young folks till midnight" :"
Let us go down to him now," | said.
We'll" hesitatingly; yes come Mr..
g."
We met Mr.. Shoddy in the hall down
stairs His eyes were red i his face
heated.
Where are you going, Mr.. Shoddy :?
We were just coming to keep you
company a little"
Never mind me, Mr.. G.. [ have just
taken some medicine and will go to bed
| shall come to see you tomorrow dur
ing the day. Good night now. Go up
stairs and enjoy yourself [ am going
to bed. Never mind me- Good night" :"
and he staggered off.
Mrs Shoddy came down stairs. The
children were in the dining-room.
Mamma" " said young hopeful, papa
went to bed," and he pointed at brandy
bottle that stood on little table near
the buffet.
Mrs. Shoddy sent her children to bed.

NIGHTFALL.

The village now is hushed to rest,
The calm of night has sway:
The weary rest, the tired repOse
From cares and tolls of day.
Ensconced in ev'ning's dusky pail,
From busy scenes of life,
Reward is theirs for lending help
'Gainst day-time's envious strife.
So, to imagin, it will be,
When earthly cares are done;
A gentle exit from this world
To rest so nobly won!

A Health Destroying YapOr

Is generated by the action of the suns
rays upon damp decaging vegetation, stag
nant pools, and marsly, low lying tracts.
The true nature of this miasma is by no
means clearly understood, but there are two
facts in relation to it that are. The first is,
that the periodical fegers which it breeds
are of the most virulent type; the second
is, that these maladies are rarely cured, al
though they may be ameliorated by the or.
binary remedies employed to overcome
them. The true antidote to the effects of
miasma is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This
medicine is one of the most popular RENE
dies of an age of successful proprietary
specifics, and is in immense demand wher-
ever on this continent fever and ague ex-
lists. A wine-glassful three times day is
the best possible preparative for encounter
ing malarious atmosphere, regulating the
liver, and invigorating the stomach.

In a sunny and pleasant nook,
Where might listen, the whole day long.
To the voice OF the gurgling brook;
4 cottage, with wide and airy rooms.
And broad and shining floors
A house with the hidden charms of home,
And the freedom of out-Of-doors
Fair morning glories climb and bloom
At will by the eastern caves,
Andon the doorstep and window-siU
The roses shake their leaves;
And fair old-fashioned liIqcs toss
Their purple plumage high,
While honeysuckles drop their sweets
On every passer-by.
Down at the end of the pleasant path
Is group Of evergreen trees
Pine and hemlOck, and spruce and fir,
With their spicy fragrances;
And, sweetest picture of calm content
That mortal ever saw,
Under low-tOughed apple-tree
Is beehive made Of straw.
| have pictured it all hundred times
shall do j, q hundred more,
But never shall the pleasant home
With the roses over the door,
Never dream Of mine came true;
1t is fate's unbendiDg law:

Nor the beehive made OF straw.
But yet in the airy realm of dreams
Where all my riches be,

The Fat Mems Convention.

We can see some pleasure, if no reason
in the converting of baby show, but VIZ
confess we could never see the slightes
cause, reasonable or otherwise, for fat
mems convention, unless it be the fact tina
misery loves company. For fifty or hun
dred men, whose several weights range from
two hundred to three hundred pounds, to
hold a convention simply because of SC
much surplus avoirdupois, is absurd to say
the least. 1t becomes doubly so when We
reflect that obesityis disease. What would
we think of so many persons emaciated by
consumption holding a convention to com
pare their relative weights. There is but
one ground upon which We would advocate
another fat mems convention, and that is
that they will meet to discuss the merits Of
Allan's Anti-Fat, the only known emedy fol
obesity. 1t is safe and reliable. Sold by all
druggists.

till the tears rolled down her cheeks,
and even the Deacon smiled when he
was once more seated at her side.
When they drove up to the door of
the cottage Mrs. Bly, met them.
She thanked the Deacon for bringing
Bessie home, and then turning to her
little girl, who had jumped down after
giving the Deacon a kiss for thanks,
asked if she had apologized prettily.

The "Jumping-Off" System.

The Rev. T. II. Cope writes to us
from Hartland Vicarage, North Devon:
"It is frequently affirmed that any sud-
den abstinence from alcoholic beverages
in person-much more an aged person
who has used them through life, is
preiudicial to health. An instance has
lately come under my observation of
the beneficial results arising from the
sudden disuse of alcoholic stimulants by
a widow of eighty-two summers. Her
usual drink through life has been gin,
which she changed for beer previously
to reaching her eightieth year She
suffered from occasional attacks of govt
in her left hand and also running
foot-sore. Upon her reaching the age
of eighty-that is, two years ago-she
suddenly adopted the total abstinence
principle, much 10 the surprise and
CONSERVATION of her friends, who all
prophesied a speedy and sudden ter
mination of her life for the want of her
accustomed rotations. Nothing of the
kind. The toe healed, the govt van
ished, and for two years she has been
free from these harassing complaints,
and is a living monument of the good
effected by the sudden adoption of q
non-alcoholic regimen. She is in her
eighty-third year, and frequently walks
out into her sons garden or farm-yard,
without any covering on her head. Her
memory is excellent; she can repeat
long prayers, and she bids fair to be-
come a centenarian. n-LOndGR Times.

PEOPLE who still adhere to the look-at-yOur-
tongue-and- feel Of-your- pulse doctor SOM
times express not a little curiosity in regard to
d.. R.N. Piercc's original method OF diStin-
gushing all forms Of chronic disease without
personal consultation. Some even suppose that
he acCOmplisbCs this through clairvoyance, or
some other species Of professional juggiery
All this is utterly false. He claims TO deter
mine disease by the rational methods of science
only. Says COmley. in his Biographical Eucy-
clopeda Of New York State, speaking OF this
distinguished ph;sician: " He perceived that
in each Of the natural sciences the investiga-
tor proceeds according to a system Of sillis.
The genlogist in his cabinet accurately deter
mines and describes the cleft of rock, which
he has never seen, from the minute ST cimcn
on his table. And the chemist in his J. JordtU-
~ notes the constituents OF the sun with the
same precision that he analyZes a crystal Of
rock salt. The analogous system developed
by DR.. Pierce in Medical Science is worthy Of
his genius. aud has made his name justly cele-
Irated." For a full explanation of this in

Three Little Girls Have an Adventure
with Wolves.

Three little girls from 6 to 8 years of
age, up at Manville, on the Wisconsin
Central Railroad, wandered into the
woods last week and got lost. Night
came on and the little ones finally at
about midnight ran upon haystack in
a clearing. They pulled out some of the
hay and made hole big enough to
crawl into, when to their'hOrror several
large wolves came bowling about them
and swapping their hungry jaws in an
ticipatiOn of the human feast before
them. The children cried and screamed
in their terror, as the wolves came pear
er and nearer. Finally the Oldest of the
children, while on ner knees prayingfor
herself and little sisters, happened to
remember reading that fire would
brighten away wild animals, and remem-
bered that she had few matches in her
pocket. In a moment she pushed the
children out from the stack and struck
a match and set fire to the hay. The ef-
feet was magical. In an instant the
flames shot upward, and the wolves ran
off in a rage of disappointment, and
soon after, as the little ones were warm
ing their chilled blood in their little
veins, their parents and friends came
up to their rescue, attracted thither by
the light from the burning haystack.

A Theater of Natures Building.

A writer in the Rocky Mountain TJuy-
tSt says: Just at the entrance to Tenn
pie Canyon is little grove of cotton
woods. Their pendent swinging boughs
meet in perfect arches overhead, and the
profusion of their polished brilliant
leaves render complete the most charm
ing of bowers in which to take the noon
day lunch and prepare for the climb in
to Temple Canyon, which must be done
on foot. Temple is a side canyon, with
entrance from Grape Creek Canyon,
some four and half miles from Can
yon City, and was discovered but year
or two ago. Once passing through the
great riffs of rock, for all the world
like the stairwayto some grand place of
amusement, the body of the temple is
reached, and, to the tourists astonish-
ment, before him is a stage with over
hanging arch, with d" fats and Giles"
with dressing-rooms on either side, and
a scene already set as if for some grand
tableau. If so intensely realistic from
the parquet, as the broad circling floor
might aptly be termed, or from the par
quet or dress circles, as the higher
lodges would suggest, the Chamber up
to the stage itself renders it all the more
so, for there is found ample room for a
full dramatic or operate company to
disport upon, while in the perpendicular
lodges and caves on either side % or
so people might retire and not be
observed from the body of the hall.
The stage is at least 80 feet deep, and
60 or 20 broad; the arch above fully 100
feet from the floor of the canyon, the
stage itself being about 40 feet above
the floor. The arch is almost as smooth
and perfectly proportional as if fash
toned by the hand of man, and during
the wet season the water from a stream
above falls in a great broad sheet over
its face to the floor of the canyon below.
At such time the effect from the stage
of the Temple is, as can be imagined,
exceedingly fascinating, for there, en-
tirely protected from the water, one
looks through the silvery sheet out upon
the scene below. Upon the rear wall of
the stage quite an aperture has been
hewn out by some action, and the shape
it is left in is peculiarly suggestive of
tableaux preparation. Away up in the
highest crevice under the arch pair of
eagles have mated for years, and though
most daring efforts have been made to
reach the nest, none have succeeded.
There is absolutely not solitary sign
of vegetation about the Temple; all is
bleak, bare and towering walls, and
a more weird spot to visit can not pos
sibly be imagined.

"PulI Down the Blinds, Love-"

Quite crowd gathered in front of
certain residence in this city the other
evening, says an exchange, to witness
an interesting performance going on
within, the only occupants of the parlor
being the young lady and nice young
mana clerk in large dry-goods house
on Front Street. They had forgotten to
pull down the blinds, and naughty men
outside could see every thing that was
going on. She was sitting upon his lap
with her arms around his neck, caress-
ing him in the fondest manner. After
they had been in that interesting situa-
ton for some time, a gentleman who
lives near by, CHANGING to pass there on
his way home, took in the situation at
glance, and, having compassion on the
young couple, fastened home and sent
the female servant of his household to
notify the young couple that they had
forgotten to pull down the blinds. The
blinds came down too quick after they
received word, and the crowd dis
persed.
