Mr. Editor: Having read in yonr paper re.

induced to tell "what know about catarrh,"
and fancy the snuff" and "inbaling-t tube"
makers (mere dollar grabbers) would be glad
If they could emblazon similar cure in the

The nasal passages became completely closed.

Sticks" wouldn't work, though at intervals
would sniff up the so-ealled catarrh snuff, I'M
til became a valuable tester for such medi-
cnes. ] gradually grew worse, and no one
can know how much ! suffered or what mis-
cradle being was. My head ached over my
eyes so that l was confined to my bed for many
successive days, suffering the most intense
pain, which at one time lasted continuously for
l6S hours. All sense of smell and taste gone,
sight and hearing impaired, body shrunken
and weakened, nervous system shattered, and
constitution broken, and | was hawking and
splitting seven-eighths of the time. lprayed for
death to relieve me of my suffering. A favor
able notice in your paper Of DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy induced me to purchase package,
and use it with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douehe,
which applies the remedy by hydrostatic pres
sure, the only way compatible with common
sense. Well, Mr.. Editor, it did not cure me
in three-fourths of a second, nor in one hour
or month, but in less than eight minutes was
relieved, and in three months entirely cured,
and have remained so for over sixteen months.
While using the Catarrh Remedy, | used DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to purify
my blood and strengthen my stomach. l also
kept my liver active and bowels regular by the
use OF his Pleasant Purgative Pellets. If my

TURNING THE TABLES.

II really don't know what is to be done
with this perverse girl" said DR.. Ham
mond, running his fingers through his
hair until it stood on end, and impaired
to him much of the appearance of a par
ticularly fretful porcupine.
His wife looked up from her sewing and
said, quietly.
''I4et her have her own way"
"Nhatl and marry Doctor Gray2 Why,
he's as poor as a church mouse-not even
practice to depend upon"
He is young and clever. He will get
practice and make money,as You did after
| married you
This hint had an ,site effect from
what she had intended.
Hell not get praC ice here. My pa
tents know better than to trust themselves
to an inexperienced boy, with head full
of new tangled, unol thodox, professional
theories Humbug"
At that moment pretty young girl en-
tered. She paused only to drop rose
bud on her aunt's lap, and another on
the table where her uncle sat with his
paper, and passed quietly out of the
opposite door. Her aupt's eyes followed
her.
"Richard, don't you think Ellie looks
badly She is quite thin, and has lost her
color and appetite. Wouldn't some
change benefit here"
The Doctor looked up with sudden
light cleaning through his gold-rimmed
spectacles.
"A good idea. She viii be the better
for being sent away for few weeks-or
months, if necessary. 1t may cure her of
other complaints than dyspepsia.
"But who is to accompany her?
You know it is impossible for me to
leave home this summer; and at Scar
borough"
"She won't go TO Scarborough, or to
any other place where this young Gray
can follow her. l will send her to some
quiet farmhouse. There is Mrs Fraser
"a nice, secluded place, where she will
be well taken care of. / know that the
old lady sometimes takes summer board
ers. As for companion, her cousin will
be glad of some country recreation after
a years governessing in town. will pay
her board. And while we are on the sub
| jeet, I'll step over at once to Mrs. Mad
dGx's and make inquiries
The doctor had reason Tor thus hur-
rying this suddenly conceievd plan. On
Thursday there was to be picnic in
Fernwool, where Gabriella-or Ellie, as
her uncle and aunt called her-would be
sure to meet DR.. Gray.
He doubted whether the pair had yet
come to an understanding, but he
knew that few dreamy summer hours
amid those lonely glades would "work
more mischief" as he inwardly expressed
If, than two months, ordinary intercourse;
therefore, he was anxious to prevent the
meeting.
The resultof the doctors planning was
that he, next day, wrote to Mrs. Fraser,
at Hillside Farm, near Frassy Junction,
10 expect his niece, Miss Gabrielle Ham
mofid, on Thursday; and also mentioned
that another niece Of his, Miss Ham
mond, would join her there in q day or
two.
Now, it happened that this last-men-
toned lady, the elder Miss Hammond.
whose name was also Gabrielle cxeltea
herself to meet Ellie on Thursday. at the
junction, and did arrive there punctual
to the time, only to find that the train
had not brought her expected cousin.

Correspondence of the Boston journal.
This cosmopolitan city is not made up
of church-going people. The Sabbath is
more OF q day of recreation thar OF re-
ligious observance. Thousands go over
to Oakland, or ride out to the Cliff House
to spend the day. 1t is regular holt
day. The three thousand bar-rooms and
beer gardens do lively business. Sun
day target companies have now given
way to hunting parties in search of field
sports, and you have only to ride few
hours in the cars before you will hear the
crack of the huntsman's gun and the yell
ling of his dogs. All sports and gayeties
are open and above board, There is no
attemptat concealment. The represen-
tatives Of every nation have their own
way of enjoying themselves in passing
the Sabbath, and those who do not OBJ
serve its sanctity are the foreign classes
which are so largely in the ascendency
here in point of numbers.
The theaters and other planes of amuse-
ment are generally crowded. The most
popular resort is called Woodward Gar
dens, which attracts thousands of people
on Sundays. 1t is such a remarkable
place of entertainment that it calls for
mere than passing notice. The price
of admission is only two bits. When in
side you find the ground very extensive,
covering good many acres, while the
variety of sights is of such a rare and
unique character that you don't wonder
that thousands go and see them. On all
sides you find curiosities from all Parts of
the world III mineralogy, technology
crustaceans, m ollusks, insects. ornithology,
and euadrupeds. In strolling over the
grounds the eye falls upon parterres of
the rarest of exotics, while the melodies
from ayiaries Of birds from every cline
delight the ear. You can plunge into
illuminated caverns filled with aqua
RUINS Of fish of all kinds; you can re-
cline on green, velyetg slopes, shad
ed with grotesque trees from all
quuarters of the globe, while at your feet
runs a crooked, rippling stream over its
rocky bed, and then forming a succession
of cascades before it debouches into q
