II feel so exercised, Mrs. Farms
worthr' she confessed TO my mother,
privately. "Do you think it would
make great deal of talk II l should
get marriedPn The second week she
was lamenting that Mr.. Yopp was not
professor. Might she not be the
chosen instrument TO lead him to the
lightp BY the end of the third her
sympathies had gone out TO the blind
old father in need of woman's care,
and she was querying where duty lay.
Ought she not to ask the Presiding
Elder?
Having sounded her by few adroit
questions, that reverend gentleman
smilingly advised the union, and this
virtually decided the matter for Lovisa.
"I will go to you, Mr. Yopp-that IS,
If it will be any accommodation" she
said, timi dly, when, at the close of the
month, David came for his answer.
They were married the following
Thanksgiving, in the brides small par
lor, while the stumpy little teapot in
the kitchen gurgled and choked with
glee. And, the service over and the
wedding picnic discussed, my father lent
his horse to David, and the happy pair
drove away ont their bridal tour, and
were gone at least three hours. during
which the nuptial guests transferred
Lovisa's modest spinster belongings to
her matron home.
For thirty years these mature lovers
lived together like cushat-doves, and
never to the day of her death did Lovisa
regret the hour when she married
David "just to accommodate. ."-Har-

tools and the means employed TO secure
the conviction of the members of the
Returning Board in the case improper
ly called "The State of Louisiana Us.
j. Madison Wells and Others" but
really and truly it should be called
1.-THE case of Samuel j. TildeD
u.s. Rutherford b. Hayes" It is a
contest for the office of President
of the United States and the patronage
of the Executive Departments of the
managed by David Dudley Field, with
the advice and pecuniary assistance of
the National Democratic Committee.
A verdict of packed jury of Louisiana
Democrats, procured in the manner
above pointed out, will, it is expected,
be accepted by the people of the United
States as a judicial settlement of Mr..
Tilden's title to the Presidency. 1t is
a bold and desperate game for great
stake. Myself and colleagues on the
Returning Board are merely the out
posts or picket guards, which they hope
TO capture, and then they will surprise
the GARRISON, if possible, and claim the
patronage of the Government as the
spoils of the war. In corroboration of
this view, refer you to the movements
all along the line of the enemy's camp;
to the well-grounded reports that large
sum of money has been sent here from
New York to be used in the trial; to the
fact that the National Democratic Com
mittee has been hastily called together,
though no national election is pending;
to the fact that several of the officers
of the court, including the Judge, the
Attorney. General, the Assistant Attor-
ney-General, the Sheriff, the principal
witnesses, several of the jurors, and
many Of the aiders and abettors of the
proceedings are stained with crimes of
one sort or another, including treason,
murder, larceny, perjury, subornation
of perjury, libel, attempting to defraud
voters at the polls, and other serious
offenses. Few engaged in the prosecu-
ton have clean hands, and yet the
Democratic National Committee, IN
spired by the Mephistophelean David
Dudley Field, hope by the employment
of such tools in place and in q case
where the other side has no possible
chance of fair trial, scarcely any to be
heard, to make up such a case as shall
enable them to wrench the scepter from
Une nduuS VI IIeSluCHO nay co anu Si'O
it to the henchman of their Democracy.
The eyes of the leaders of the rebellion
are already fixed upon the high places
of the Government, which they feel as
sured are as good as in their possession
already, as nothing stands in their way
now but Wells and Anderson, whose
conviction they have contracted for,
and the contractors are hurrying up
their work. This is a national, not a
personal, question. 1t is renewal in
insiduious guise of the tremendous con-
flict of 1876, perhaps of 1861. 1t be-
comes the Republicans of the North to
be on their guard, and give our Louisi-
ana hirelings to understand that it is
time for them to be quiet, or be pre-
pared for open, determined and unrelent-
ing war. j. MADISON WELLS.

As the scholar sees I'm the vain but beautiful
mythologies of the ancients the embodied ex-
pressioDs Of the hungry human soul, blindly
cropping after the Infinite, SO the physician
sees I'm that popular myth Of the sixteenth
century the fountain OF perpetual health and
youth--an expression of the longings of suf-
fering humanity for q remedy that should for
ever prevent the incursion OF disease The
derful fountain, and Ponce de Leon sought for
It In the .cypress-swamps and tangled ever
glades OF our sunny Florida. Men have
searched for II everywhere and anywhere but
where 1t really is--in the human body itself.
The blood is the real fountain OF perpetual
health and youth. When this source Is cor.
rupted, the painful and sorrow-producing ef-
fects are visible In many shapes. The multi
farious forms In which IL manifests itself
would form subjects upon which might write
volumes. But as all the varied forms of dis
ease which depend upon bad blood are cured,
or best treated, by such medicines as take up
from this fluid and excrete from the system
the no1ious elements, IL Is not Of practical Inn
portance that should describe each. For In
stance, medical authors describe about fifty va
rieties of skin disease, but as they all require
for their cure very similar treatment, IL Is OF
no practical utility TO know just what name TO
apply TO certain form OF skin disease, so you
know how best to cure it. Then again, might
90 on and describe various kinds OF scrofulOus
sores, fever sores, white swellings, enlarged
glands, and ulcers of varying appearance;
might describe how virulent poison may show
itself in various forms Of eruptions, ulcers,
sore throat, bony tumors, etc. but as all these
various-appearing manifestations of bad blood
are cured by a uniform means, deem such q
course unnecessary. Thoroughly cleanse the
blood, which is the great fountain Of life, and
good digestion, fair skin, buoyant spirits,
vital strength, and soundness of constitution,
will all return to us. For this purpose DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Purga-
tive Pellets are pre-eminently the articles
needed. They are warranted to cure letter,
sslt-rheum, scald-head, St. Anthony's fire,
rose rash or erysipelas, ring-worms, pimples,
buncles, sore eyes, rough skin, scurf, scrofu-
lous sores and swellings, fever sores, white
swellings, tunors, old sores or swellings, af-
fections Of the skin, throat and bones, and
ulcers Of the liver, stomach, kidneys and lungs.

Hints to Subscribers.

ALWAYS be careful to omit the name
of the State from your address. The
publisher is supposed to know the State
in which the subscriber lives. 1t is use
full sometimes to sign your name, but
if the publisher does not recognize your
handwriting and enter your name cor
rectly at once ne ought to resign and
give way to some one who can.
If you have torn or doubtful bill,
that you haven't the courage even to
put in the contribution-boX, send it
along The publisher has peculiar fa-
cilities for selling defaced currency and
counterfeit bills at premium.
If for any reason you do not receive
your paper promptly, write the publish
er a sharp letter Call him a swindler
or some similar pleasant epithet. 1t
indicates true Christian forbearance on
your part, and produces an agreeable
effect on him.
If you inclose (by mistake) a stamp
for reply, paste it carefully and firmly
on the letter. The effort TO remove
without destroying it is sure to make
the publisher smile.
Be particular not to prepay your let
tCts ~ uhOiuo lhC puuilShOl ihhhltO uO-
light at cost of only six cents to send
to the Dead-Letter Office for it.
If disposed to prepay at all, put on a
one-cent stamp. This enables the pub
Usher to pay five cents more on receipt
of the letter, and his happiness will be
incomplete without it.
Always take it for granted that the
subscribers never make any mistakes,
and that the publisher is responsible for
all errors and delays.
If a mail-car is destroyed by fire,
charge it on the publisher. If a heavy
storm delays the trains, charge it on the
publisher. If there is miscarriage of
any kind, charge it on the publisher.
And the severer the language used the
greater his enjoyment. ItL
A violation of any of these rules by
some folks will cause great surprise to
publishers and take away much of their
pleasant enjoyment Christian Union.

"GOOD TINES,

Two happy words like far-oh chimes
Sound chcerily 70 men; Good Times"
Half-hushcd in distance though they seem,
Their peal calls back hope gone astray'
A daily trust, nightly dream.
All when, ali how. shall be fulfilled

Which first flashed into human mood
When sword-hames blanched the first man

ring,
And shall we say that. scrpent-like,
Man on himself must turn and strike

Nay, hearkenl Still that song Good Times"l
Through storm and shine, from sea to sea,
That music, wrought invsibly,
Floats still. to fill all lands and climes.
Like bells of churches built for Christ
The meek, rejected, sacrificed.
The Promised and the Promiser-
Like holy bells, this glad refrain
Shall greet the coming year again,
And oet fond hearts with JOY astir.
Yet dream not that the goal is won.
A thousand courses round the sun
Have STEPPED the world in broader light;
But woe is mel-look back. look back:
The fairest seasons in our track
Are but dead leaves, and dim as night,
And lol where echoing spires arise
And kiss, to-day. the morning skies,
Tonight the shapes of wrong and shame
A quicksand shoal of faces-paas
And wither from the glare of gas
Back to the wild haunts whence they came.
What though the wheels of trade 90 round
And streets are filed with jocund sound?
The weather-vane of work and play
And gusty grief can make no law:
But One long since the plan foresaw
And fashioned bright or dark our day.
Ali man, your church-bell and your praise
And all your notwithstanding ways
Shall scarcely bring you to the mark
OF truth of book and good of gold
What worth, unless your heart shall hold
The everlasting mornings spark?
