A MYSfprY EVnIRInaxI

Parlor scene: Mrs. Brown, who has spent
the summer among the White Mountains in
search of health, and who seems to have
searched the whole mountain side without be-
ing able to find pair of blooming cheeks or
an inch Of healthful skin: Mrs. White, who has
remained at home because her husband could
not afford to go, but whose fresh complexion
and bright eyes seems to have caught their
bloom and brightness from mountain breeZes
Mrs. B.-Dear me, Mrs. White, how well YOU
are looking Ii you will not think me imperti-
nent, let me ask how you can keep SO healthy
in this dreadful city? have been to the White
Mountains, go there every summer, in fact, and
can't keep off the doctors list at that
Mrs. W. (smiling )-Pll tell you the whole Sc
cret Mrs. Brown. You remember how poorly
| was last spring, some days even being con-
nned to my bed. DR.. - told Mr.. White to
send me to the mountains, but l knew he
couldn't afford it, and / tried Dr. Pierce's Fa-
yorlte Prescription. It's effect were 80 marvel
GUS that l also tried his Golden Medical dis
covery, to cleanse my system. In my opinion,
one bottle of the Prescription and the Dis
covery 10 better than six weeks of the White
Mountains for a sick woman. / have only been
out OF the city week during the whole sum-
mer then my husband snd / went to Buffalo
and stopped at DR.. Pierce's Invaiids' and Tour
lists Hotel. The baths and mechanical appa-
ratus for treating patients were alone worth
going to see. Besides, our accommodations
were better than we had at Long Branch last
year, and the drives and scenery are superb.
Let me advise you to use DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription, and try the Invalds' and Tour
lists Hotel next summer instead of the White
Mountains.

deal. All rank weeds must be carefully
eradicated, and garden refuse, such as
weeds, kept out of the cows reach,
especially shrubs and hedge cuttings,
etc. These things are often poisonous,
and occasion the COW to abort. The
same remark will alppy to
dead and putrid matter. Let the
pasture be free from ponds and other
dirty drinking places, where the water
is foul and rendered unwholesome by
decaying matter or the drainage from
dung heaps, and from the habit which
cattle have of standing and dropping
their manure in it, for hours together.
A clean tub or tank should be used for
watering the cattle, and should be sup
piled with clean, sweet water, which if
pumped from well, should be exposed
to the air in summon considerable
time before use. AS a principle of
economy, strongly advocate the practice
of keeping mich COWS in the yards or
stables at nights all through the year.
They spoil much grass, especially in full,
strong pasture, during the night, and
are not benefited by being in the dewy
grass too early in the morning. The
manure also would be kept in the yard,
where it would be valuable, instead of
being dropped alongsome fence where it
would be lost, and where the cattle
would naturally lie down. During the
winter, when tied up in stalls, great
advantage is derived by thoroughly
cleaning the cattle occasionally with a
brush, as they cannot then turn around
and lick themselves, or rub as they
would in the field Western Rural.

Duties of q Queen.

The London correspondent of Liver.
pool paper saws: "The labors of queen
are more onerous than those who look
upon royalty as round of pleasure may
believe For example, it may not be
generally known that during til. six
months prior to the departure of her
majesty for Baveno, about 1900 boxes,
containing dispatches from the various
departments of state, were forwarded to
the queen at Balmoral, Windsor, &C.,
for her majesty's perusal, consideration,
signature, &c. This statement I re-
ceived from one in a position to know its
truth. During the last twelve months
the number of kilograms flowing into
the foreign office, day and night, from
all parts of Europe, have been unprece-
dented, probably, in any previous ad-
ministration. The India office, the war
office, and the colonial Office have each
contributed enormously to the dispatch
es received by the queen, many hundreds
requiring her sign manual. The duty,
moreover, is not affected by absence, as,
for example, at Baveno, the post brings
daily heavy bag to the chateau, while
the telegraph supplies work for the
interval"

The young girls letter, written SC

They returned after several months to

her handsome husband dedicated to her

1t cannot last forever, thought Sidonie
so one morning she arranged the
writing table Of her husband and threw
out whole load of unpublished poems
which were carefully laid one upon the
other, and specified to be sent to the
publishers.
Quietly, Sidonie seized the pile and
threw it in the fire.
When her husband came home, the
following dialogue took place:
Do you know what | have done,
CarlW
Well?"
"But you must not be angry"
"What is it, them"
But you must not get angry. have
burned your manuscript"
Carl turned pale.
MY poems% he stammered
Yes, your poems. They were of no
use."
"Yes-but were they worse than my
first ones?",
No; that is exactly 1.-THE first ones
were of no use either"
Carl is speeches..
Sidonie draws the astonished man to
her side on the sofa, and embraces him
tenderly.
81 know what you would say" she
whispers, "Why did I write to your"
will be truthful" and she pictured
to him her sad girlhood, and pictured it
50 desolate, so sad, that he was already
half convinced.
al perceived from your poems that
you were no poet, but noble, excellent
man." said she in conclusion. For this
reason wrote you. You are so loving,
so good, that it seemed like sin to leave
you longer in error. A stranger could
deceive, but my husband, never!"
A." In the end this deceit has led to our
happiness. Did it not, Carl? For love
you and you love me SO very much"
81 cannot reconcile myself to my hus-
bands spending his time, his knowledge,
over something worthless. l wish you to
turn yourself toward earnest work and
give up writing poetry. Carl, if you do
not wish me to perish from sorrow and
pain, stop looking at me SO unkindly. If
| have lost your love through my confess
sion, tell me; then l will go away and
die. | must confess it all, Carl"
No; he was not angered by her confess
sion, though it gave him no Joy. He
forgave her half and half.
And while Carl by exception was a
most modest man, he saw after little
while that she was right, that his poems
were, worth nothing. And his pretty
young wife, always fresh and amiable,
made him so happy, what wonder is it
that at last forgave her so fully that he
could laugh when they looked back and
spoke of the time when she pretended
to be interested in his poems.
And Sc the girls stratagem bore good
fruit. Her parents were freed of an in
convenient daughter; it made one more
happy marriage, and made one poor
poet the less in the world. | think to
work much more good is seldom in the
power of woman.

Protect the system from Malaria.

1t IS possible to do this even in regions OF
country where miasma is most rife, and where
the periodic fevers which it causes assume
their most formidable types. The immense
popularity of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
very largely attributable to the fact of it's eff
cacy as remedy for chills and fever, bilious
remittents, and as a preventive Of the various
forms of malarial disease. In those portions
Of the west and south where complaints Of this
nature prevail, and in the tropics, it is par
ticularly esteemed for the protective influence
which it exerts and it has been very widely
adopted as a substitute for the dangerous and
comparatively Ineffective alkaloid, sulphate OF
quinine. Physicians have not been among the
last to concede its merits, and the emphatic
professional Endorsements which it has re-
ceived have added to the reputation it has OBJ
tanned at home and abroad

NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATIsM

A very simple relief for neuralgia is to
boil small handful of lobelia in half
pint of water till the strength is out of
the herb, then strain it off and add
teaspoonful of fine salt. Wiring cloths
out of the liquid as hot as possible, and
spread it over the part affected. 1t acts
like charm. Change the cloths as soon
as cold till the pain is all gone; then
cover the place with soft dry covering
till perspiration is over, SO as to prevent
taking cold. Rheumatism can often
be relieved by application to the pain
full parts of cloths wet in a weak solution
of sal soda in water. If there is infam-
nation in the joints the cure is very
quick; the wash needs to be lukewarm.

CHANG e.
BY GEORGE EDGAR MONTGOMERY.

Men are no longer what they we're
In the old Grecian days, when youth
Looked not beyond itself for truth.
Nor age beyond its trodden WAYS:
when love was never wont to err
From tranquil woods and streams to find
In the vague voices of the wind
Strange murmurS of unearthly laws
Men are Il longer what they were
When the young Christ was newly horn
Or when amid golden morn
Rome tottered on her ancient throne:
Wnen neaIls went out to minister
Unto the dolatrous far and wide
sweet nope and mercy sanctiied
And all that love had made its own,
Men are no longer what they were
Mhen souls he5an TO doubt and hope
10 tade--hke mist upon a slope
Dissolved in dawning floods OF light;
nen talth seemed half thing of air
Built on the moving sands of dream,
creed OF empty sound, supreme
In dull, cold splendor of the night.
Then priest and poet bowed before
The awful, august face of her
Whose deeply mystic voice would stir
The chilled and ghostly voids of death:
Nature, whose speech IS like the roar
OF mad, melodious waves or low
As faint June breezes wnen they blow
GA lowly flowers WITH Ian suid breath
Their lofty sous were raeked with dorpt,
And in sad yearning tones they cried
To her, the loved, the deiied,
For peace which is the grace Of grief:
With patient ardor and devOut
They sought the light of truth divine
Yet found that God had left no sign
For them whose faith was unbelief
Men no longer what they were
10 they have turaed away their gaze
From mOurnful nights and darkened DAYS
And l'fe thai fatered in its path:
With brave and willing hearts they bear
Their heavy burdens, and they sing
o loves inspired awakening,
And hope that each man truly hath.
The world is changing and the years
Are sweeping TO their radiant goal,
Like. torrents breaking from control
And rushing onward to the sea:
AND &c who listens vaguely hears
a sound OF many waters lulled
10 calm, and winds to slunber duliad,
Or reused to life melodiously.
Ihe thunder of false gods, the gloom
Oi bind and erTing faith, and death
nose KISS makes poison OF our BREATH
And all dark shaio Es of our lives:
Ihese shall not shake uS, nor entomb
Inc Joy within our souls, for time
has hlled us with trust sublime
AND given US glory for our gives.

The Electric Abroad.

The electric light is coming into more
general use in England than in this
country. In London the Victoria EN-
bankment is lighted by this process, as
we'll as several of the London bridges.
The electric light of 40 lamps from
Westminster to Biackfriars, distance
of 2,140 yards from one centre, is
worked by Ransome's series of 20-horse
power engines and two Gramme bat
teries. Antwerp dock is to be lighted
with the Jablockoh system. A mag
nifcent pile of warehouses belonging
to Messrs. Crocker, Sons 4 Company OF
Warrington street are to be supplied
with 10 electric lights. Several of the
London theatres and large stores are
lighted in the same way. This is a
great advantage, business being carried
on equally well by night and day. In
Paris the principal streets and squares
are illuminated with flood Of electric
light, almost as clear and ditfusive as
sunlight. In that city, as well as IN
London, the electric light is extensively
employed in large railroad stations.
One powerful electric light in the Edge
ware road depot of the Metropolitan
railway eliminates the whole interior.
In some instances mines have been lit
up by the same means. Tue very low
temperature of the electric light, Its
non-consumption of oxygen, and its
infinitely greater Illuminating power
recommend it strongly to general use,

Interesting Experiment With Flour.

A French chemist last year exposed
a quantity of flour to hydraulic pres
sure of 800 tons, which reduced it to a
fourth of its original bulk, without inn
pairing the quality. He packed por-
ton Of il III tin boxes and sealed them
up, doing the same with tie impressed
flour. When opened in three months,
the former was in better preservation
than the latter. When baked into
bread, the pressed article was decidedly
superior. Alter lapse of a year other
cans were opened, and the Impressed
flour had become spoiled, while the
pressed remained sweet, and was excel
lent when baked.
