A Chilly Retention.

"Faint heart never won fair lady" 1t

like the one here portrayed by the Burlington
Hanheye would most likely give slight set

young man: The other afternoon, Alfred
went up the steps and rang the bell The
door opened, and papa stood glaring at him,
looking thousand things and saying moth

Alfred Etheridgc had never felt quite so
lost for language in his life. Presently, he
stood on one foot and remarked:

from his position in the door, and looking as
though he were dealing with a book agent
instead of one of the incest looking young

stood on his right foot and said:
DoeS slle-can snc receive company

the pleading intonation of Alfred's voice,
which everybody else thought was SO ire
sistibly sweet. Then Alfred Ethelridge stood
on his left foot, and said:

Eyes, sir" papa said, kind of coldly.
Alfred Ethclridge looked down the street
and sighed then he stood on the right foot
again, and said, in tremulous tones,-
"Can she see me?"
Eyes, sir" papa said, but he never moved,
and he never looked pleasant. He only
stood still and repeated n second time, Eyes,
sir"
Alfred Ethelridge began to feel it. He
looked up and down the street, and finally
pinned his wandering gaze to the bald spot
on papa's head, then he said:
"Will you please tell her that Mr.. Alfred

Eyes, sir" said papa, and he didn't say
anything more. And somehow or other, Al

went out the gate. He discontinued his

New Remedy for Rheumatism.

One of the latest discoveries announced is
that celery is n cure for rheumatism; indeed,
it is asserted that the disease is impossible if
the vegetable be cooked and freely eaten-
The fact that it is almost always put on the
table raw prevents its therapeutic powers
from becoming known. The celery should
be cut into bits, boiled in water until soft,
and the water drank by the patient. Put
new milk, with little flour and nutmeg, into
n saucepan with the boiled celery, serve it
warm with pieces of toast, eat it with pota-
toes, and the painful ailment will soon yield.
Such is the declaration of physician who
has again and again tried the experiment,
and with uniform success. He adds that
cold or damp never produces but simply de-
velops the disease, of which acid is the pri-
mary and sustaining cause, and that while
the blood is alkaline there can be neither
rheumatism nor govt English statistics
show that in one year Q87G) 3640 persons
died of rheumatism, and every case it is
claimed, might have been cured OF prevented
by the adoption of the remedy mentioned
At least two-thirds of the cases named heart
disease are ascribed to rheumatism and its
agonizing ally, govt. Small pox, so much
dreaded, is not half SO destructive as rhcu-
matism, which, it is maintained by physi-
clans, can be prevented by obeying natures
laws in diet, but if you have incurred It,
boiled celery is pronounced unhesitatingly to
be q specific.

THE BURIED TREAsURE-A French mer-
chant was agreeably surprised by the receipt
of an anonymous communication advising
him that box of treasure was buried i'm his
garden, and that the exact whereabouts would
be shown him If he agreed to an equal divi-
sion of the spoil. He jumped at the offer,
met his kind informant, and the pair were
soon plying spades, their labor being reward
cd by the unearthing of box, full of silver
coins. The delighted merchant counted out
two piles of 800 tivefranc pieces, and babe his
partner take his share. That worthy, after
contemplating his heap for minute or two
observed it was rather too heavy load to car
ry to the railway station; he would prefer
having the amount in gold or notes, If it could
be managed. Nothing was easier; walk up
to the house, and the business was settled en-
tirely to his satisfaction and that of the mer-
chant, too. Twenty-four hours later the good
man took very different view of the trans
action, for upon examination he discovered
there was not one genuine five-franc piece

USEFUL RECEIPTs-"Househo Depart

a frightful risk. The editor of the Weekly

The Ascension.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Good Shepherd, wilt thou leave
In this low vale the flock that was thy care
Alone to pine and grieve,
While through thopurer air
Thou risest up to fields forever fair?
They who, supremacy blest,
Until the dawn of this unhappy day
Leaned on thy loving breast,
To whom on earth shall they .,
HearlSen or look when thou art far away?
What comeliness or grace
Can they whose eyes beheld thy beauty see
In other form or face?
What music will not be
Harsh to the ears that hoarkened once to thee
Who now upon the deep
Shall look, and curb its fury? Who shall Law
The storm winds asleep?
What louc-star's friendly ray,
When thine is hid, shall guide the vessels way
Why change our happy state,
o onvious cloud, TO helplessness and fear?
How proud of their rich freight
Thy shining folds appear?
How blind and wrctchod thou dost leave us here /!
