In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended
to me; and, yielding to the persuaslons OF 4

was suffering from general debility and ner-
vous prostration, superinduced by over,
work and irregular habits. Its wonderful
strengthening and curative properties seem

health and good feeling Since then have
not hesitated to give VEGETlNE my most
unqualified Endorsement as being a safe,

gsIsetsD Story:
JENNIE'S MISTAKE.


reading two letters. Her father
and brother had long since finished
their breakfast and departed to
their daily avocations. Still she
did not move. her barely tasted
coffee had grown cold, and the
spaniel, Floss, waited in vain for
bis usual knob of sugar.
Very pretty was Jennie, though
now an anxious frown contracted
herdelicate brows. The male pop
ulation of Colnwood were not far
wrong when they declared her to
be the belle of the town. Not Of
ten would you meet with such a
pure-tinted complexion, such ius-
trous dark e-es, such a coronal
Of glossy chestnut plaits, or such a
neutrality-suspicious. figure.
At length she rose, and ringing
to have the table cleared, went
about her usual household occu-
pations.
She neglected nothing. The pan
try was duly inspected, stores were
given out, pastry was made, and
the necessary amount Of dusting
was accomplished. But during the
performance Of these customary
duties, her face mover lost it's dis
trait, preoccupied expression.
The last post the night before
had brought her an offer of mar
riage. The offer was from a gen
tleman whom she respected much,
but certainly did not love. He
was, though, very rich, and the
owner Of considerable property i'll
the ncighborhood.
Then by the first post that
morning had come another propo'
sal. Strange to say, from the
cousin Of her other suitor. He,
however, had neither land nor
money to boast of, being by pro-
fession an artist, and at present
only an unknown, unappreciated
one.
Hence arose Jennie's difficulty
She liked her rich lover, but alas
for the contrariety Of human ha'
ture, she loved her poor one. But,
then, all her life she had had to
pinch and contrive, and manage.
Her father was a poor doctor in O
poor parish, and every pound his
patients paid him was spentin an
ticipation long before it found
it's way into his waiting hand.
A new pair Of gloves or a new
ribbon was a subject for deep re-
joicing TO his pretty daughter,
while the cunning turnings and
twistings and retrimmings that
her bonnets and dresses under
went would fairly have astonished
young lady of more ample
means.
Consequently, sharp temptation
now assailed her. Should she bid
adieu to poverty, an shabbiness,
and second-rate living, and accept
George Morley, and with him the
certainty of a splendid home, car
riages, plentiful jewelry, and all
those countless luxuries that
wealth alone can purchase? Or
should she-bravely resisting the
enticing prospect-consent to be-
come Guy Morley's wife, and BY
her presence and sympathy soothe
and encourage him in his struggles
and disappointments?
1t was hard to decide, and all
the morning she hesitated and wa
7ered. In the afternoon irresolu
ton was no longer possible. Yet
even with her desk open and writ
ing materials ready, she paused
What should she do? Which should
it be? At last, with pale face
and compressed mouth, she dipped
her pen in the ink and wrote two
short notes. And the one Of &C
ceptance as for George Morley
and the other one Of rejection waE
for his cOusin Cuy.

LIVING.

We can only live once; and deaths terlors
With life's bowers and roses entwlne,
And our lives would be darkened by;errors
Did we even, like cats, possess nine!
They would perhaps all of them wasted,
And be recklessly squandcred away,
And not b alf Of the joys would be tasted
That one life can embrace in day.
Let the lives that we live be worth living;
Let the days that we spend be we'll spent;
Let US save for the pleasure of giving,
And not borrow at fifty per cent;
Let US never cease loving and learning,
And use life for its nobeSt of ends,
Then when dust to its dust is returning
We shall live in tie hearts Of our friends.

Broad is large building with I'M
posing front, which may be called
the financial Golgotha of New York.
The entrance is bold and imposing,
and glistens with tinsel and gold,
closely resembling in it's garniture
and style, a celebrated maison de
joie made infamous by the demi:
monde and gamblers of Paris. Over
the door should be placed the in
scription which Dante saw in his
vision-"Who enters here leaves
hope behind;" for in many respects
it resembles the seething pool to
which the great high priest of Latin
song has given a painful and terri
bic immortality. It is literally a
valley Of sculls,-the dry bones of
the ruined and the dead are scat
tered about in every direction; it's
history is one great sin from the
hour of it's foundation in 1877
down to the moment when the joy
bells of old Trinity rang out glad
peal of welcome to 1878.
Look up among the dusty rub
bish of your garrets, and amid the
moldering debris of forty years ago,
you may perchance find an old
geography with a picture of the
Maelstrom Of Norway. The hapless
mariner caught in that dreadful
pool was not more certain of de-
struction than the poor wretch
sucked into the whirlpool of the
New York Stock Exchange. Drawn
in amid the roar Of the pitiless
waves there was still a hope in God,
but here even this hope is denied
them, for it seems as if they had
abandoned the doctrine of future
responsibility, and counted on hap
piness only in expectant annihila-
ton.
Ostensibly it is a body of high
toned gentlemen sociated for the
purpose of buying and selling
stocks, but it has graduated more
robbers, thieves, forgers, and de-
faulters thar any other institution
ever conceived by the brain Of man.
If the evil only stopped with the
ruin of it's immediate members'at
would be a matter Of small mo-
ment if the entire batch we're swept
from the face of the earth; but
these financial harlots have lured to
their deadly embraces, fathers and
brothers and sons, tempting them
on step by step in the hope of
enormous gains, till prison walls
entombed them, or death alone has
saved them from infamy and dis
grace. Come around to the visitors
entrance on Wall street and we will
step up into the gallery which looks
down upon the den where stocks
are gambled for and where fortunes
are won and lost.
Ascending the marble stairs, we
find ourselves in a sort Of ante-room;
on the left is the private meeting
room of the board, and on the right
the great hall where stocks and
bonds are bought and sold. The
area looks limited in comparison
with the vast amount of business
done here from day to day. The
general color Of the hall is dark, re-
lieved by blue and gold. At the
eastern end is desk, on which are
seated the clerk, who calls the
stocks, and his assistants. They
all have a tough, leathery sort Of
look, like'men who had been dipped
in a tan vat and left there a little
too long hair is scant on all their
heads, there not being enough
among the five to make respect
able scratch for a second-rate bar
