A TRUE CAUSE FOR REGRET.

It makes the heart Of every philanthro-
pist sad to see 50 msny worthless p atcnt
medicines pulled and advertised for the
cure Of chronic diseases. Usually the RENE
DIV is some vile cathartc compound or al
coholic preparation. combined with buchu,
turpcntlne or other severe t'iuretic that
affords the invalid only temporary relief,
but which has no LASTING effect, and in
truth eventually brings on q complication
of diseases arising from a state of worn out
aud exhausted digestive and urinary Or
gan= that nothing but death can relieve.
Invalids should trust moro to nature for
their recovery. A gentle medicinal tonic
that stimulates cnfeebled digestion and
strengthens every part OF the system by its
soothing and refreshing effect on both mind
and body, is natures truest and best assis-
tant. Such n remedy is Browns Iron Bit
ters, II medicine surprising the salo of all
other remedies whenever its merits become
known, for it acts in such perfect harmony
with the laws of life and health, that all
pulmonary, urinary and digestive troubles
arc prevented and permanently cured by
its timely use. 1t contains no alcohol and
will not blackcn the teeth. Physicians and
ministers endorse and recommend it.

An lrate Artist.

There is story told OF q passionate
old Spanish artist named Alonzo Cano.
He had lived many years, which he had
devoted to his art, and was passionate
as well rs old. A judge came to him
one day, and gave him an order for a
figure in little of his patron saint. Cano
made beautiful statuette, and charged
the judge hundred doubloons.
"a hundred doubloons," said the
judge, ''for work that has occupied you
less than twenty days; and I. chancery
judge, as / am, only receive one poor
doubloon day for my services"
Twenty days" said Cano, dashing
the statuette to pieces at the judges
feet. ut has taken me fifty years OF
unintermittent study to learn TO make
that figure"
The frightened judge left the artists
workshop as quickly rs he could, for
Alonzo Cano was rough man in his
wrath, and was said to have murdered
his wife Tt was this same Cano who
on his death bed, refused to take the
crucifx from the priest on account O.

Winter.


With roar like the sea the north wind broke
In fury of snow, and his icy breath
The leafless limbs of the forest shook,
And the pale moon looked like the face OF
death.
Ice on the brook, frost on the caves,
And drear gray sky this Sunday morn,
And the rustic OF crisp and crumpled leaves
From the shivering shade trees rudely torn.
Late sleepels toss in their cooling beds,
And closer the heavy quilts are rolled;
The children cover their curly heads
And whisper together, "Oh how cold!p
1t was only yesterday, as 1t were,
We shaded away the suns hot blaze;
We painted Tor breath in the sitting air,
And logged for the cool autumnal days.
They come too cold, and they come too soon
And we're no more pleased when our wish
is had
Than we were when the sultry summer noon
With its heat intense drove us almost mad.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
An Adver tising Girl.

| The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer relates this episode
of the late Seventh regiment ball:
| There has OF late been hot competition
between the candy merchants. They
put their workmen into the show win
dows, use. electric lights and try every
means of attracting attention. Beautiful
salesgirls have been device, and sew
eral remarkable types of American
loneliness are on exhibition in the
stores They are ostensibly employed
TO sell candy, but really are set up to be
admired. They are virtuous girls, for
al | know, and, as rule, they repel
any male advances. Indeed, they are not
displayed with view TO draw men, but
to please women. Most women are ar
dent admirers of beauty in their own
sex, IN spite of jealousy, and a candy
store with lovely clerks is sure to be
thronged by them. Well, one estab-
lishment has secured a surprisingly COR.
geous brunette, with sparkling eyes and
lips sweeter than the poisoned sugar she
sells. She is the talk Of the shop pers.
IN order to gain for her wider noto-
riety, her employer sent her to the ball.
He had dressed her at an expense ofnot
less than $500 for her costume, an d an
uncoDjecturable amount for diamonds.
These brilliants, consisting of neck
Lace and earrings, were unquestionably
genuine, and their worth was fully
$4,000 1t was said that he had hired
| them for the night of dealer. The
dress, how ever, was new, and fitted her
too perfectly not to have been
made expressly or her. 1t was of
while brocatelle and white satin, prin-
cesse shaped. The front was of gathered
satin, covered with lace and white
beaded embroidery, and the train was
brocatelle, trimmed with plated
founces, and edged with coral satin
balayeuse. The corsage was cut out
square, and the sleeves came to the Ell
bows. The necklace lay showily on her
dark, rich flesh. aud her raven hair was
brushed well back from her ears, 50 that
the glistening pendants might hang in
bold relief. She was the center of
glances wherever she went, and when
anybody asked who she was somebody
was pretty sure +, recognize her rs
Blank & Banks clerk. She will be dis
cussed in society for week, and, no
doubt, the advertisement will pay its
cost. To guard against the risk of losing
the diamonds three private detectives,
in immaculate evening dress, were con-
stituted the girls body guard.
