syA TcIfED FROM THE Ora w.

My wife was at the brink of the
grave. She had been given up to die
by three of Allegheny City's best ply
sicians. They all pronounced her dis
ease Consumption. Her finger-nails
and lips were blue; was pulseless at
the wrist we were all called to witness
her death. At this moment neigh
Dor brought in DR.. Hartman, who pre-
scribed a teaspoonful of Peruaa every
hour. She improved from the first
dose, and in week she was up, and
now 0ess than six months) she is well.

looked very much like me, you would
have been amused. / told her repeat
edly, but she thought it must be broth
erly delusion."
Lefty said but little. In her inn
pulsive way she had gone as far to the
other extreme, and gazed with delight
at Hates lovely face and mothers,
scarcely less lovely, with its soft brown
eyes and wavy silvery hair
The days sped like apleasant dream.
The old fancy work and the old music
which had lain idle so long, came out
of the closet where it had been BAN
ished, and made the little parlor cozy
and pleasant. Lefty and Kate prac-
ticed duets and sang together, Kate
having rich, contralto voice which
harmonized we'll with Letty's sweet,
though rather weak soprano.
The housework was as nothing with
three to do it, The washing and iron
ing were given to woman whom Lefty
at first employed, but whom she dis
missed because Mrs Bryant did her
own washing and advised Lefty to do
the same or "his folks" would think
her extravagant. But mother was in
dignant until she found that Harry
knew nothing of the change, and then
she talked to Lefty about it, and the
result was that much of the other work
was given up too.
"You can afford it," she said, "and
then there are those who depend upon
such work for q living, and it is not
right to withhold it from them. Then,
too, my dear, l should hire all my plain
sewing done. There are plenty of steps
for you to take, plenty of little things
to do if you employ all the help you
can in these things. My idea is that
we should give ourselves every chance
to keep well and strong, and able to
enjoy the many things given us to
enjoy"
SO Lefty listened amazed, and fol-
lowed the sensible advice, which after
the first feeling of intrusion was passed.,
was freely given and as freely asked.
Mrs. Bryant and the other neighbors
looked on in astonishment. '"They
couldn't sec how she did it, nor how
they all got on so comfortably. She
was opposed enough to it in the be-
ginning" But what was said outside
troubled our little family very little.
One evening when Harry was de-
tanned in town by some business, Lefty
confessed to her two listeners how she
had dreaded to have them come, and
how she had been talked to about
mothers-in-law in general, and then
Kate, laughing, told her how she, too,
had detested her when she thought how
her pet brother, for whom she had
always promised to keep house, had
given her place to some one dearer.
"But when / saw the anxious look
on your face when we drove up TO the
gate that night, it all came back to me,
what mother always said, "She proba-
bly, feels as sensitive about meeting
you" and felt as if l couldn't love you
enough. Now would not have Harry
single again for anything, would you,
Letty?" with mischievous smile, and
Lefty was fain to confess that she
would have nothing changed.

UTICAL ELOQUENCE


Central Christian Advocate.
A speaker who attempts to use nauti,
cal metaphors should be thoroughly ia
miliar with the sea and the working OF
ship, or he will strand his speech.
A clergyman was once sup
plying a pulpit by the seaside. Think
ing to impress the trnth more distinctly
upon the congregation, many OF whom
were seamen, he drew the figure of a
ship trying to enter harbor against q
head wind.
Unfortunately for the success of his
metaphor, he knew little of seamanship.
After putting the ship into several sin
gular positions, he cried out in tone
intended to be emphatic:
"What shall we do next?"
"The Lord only knows" exclaimed a
disgusted old tar, unless you let her
drift starnforemost!"
That prince of sailor-preachers,
Father Taylor, was once silenced by a
compliment to his cloquence. He had
depicted the impenitent sinner under
the figure of storm-tossed ship, with
her sails split, and driven by the gale
toward the rock-bound coast OF Cape
Ann.
"Oh, how" he exclaimed, in tones oi
despair, shall this poor sin-tossed sin
ner be saved ?"
Instantly an old salt in the gallery,
who had listened with open mouth aud
straining eyes to the preacher, jumped
to his feet, and in a voice that would
have sounded above hurricane
shouted
LET him put his helm hard down
and bear away for Squam!'
Frostburg mining journal., 1883-11-17

the black rock that divided them, with
long bounds, uttering the widest yells,
were within Il few rods, the rife OF
Hawk-eye 81 WY rose among the
shrubs, and poured out its fatal con-
tents. The foremost Indian bounded
like stricken deer, and fell headlong
among the clefts of the island.
"Now, Uncas," cried the scout,
drawing his long knife, while his
quick eyes began to flash with ardor,
''take the last of the screeching imps ;
of the other two we are certain !"
He was obeyed; and but two ene-
mics were left to be overcome. Hey
ward had given one of his pistols to
Hawk-eye, and together they rushed
down little declivity toward their
Toes they discharged their weapons at
the same instant and equally without
success.
81 know'd it and | said it !" NUT
tered the scout, whirling the despised
little implement over the falls with bit
ter disdain. "Come on, ye bloody
minded hell-hounds We meet man
without cross !"
To be continued.
*It will be observed that Hawkeye applies
different names to his enemies, Mingo and
Maqua are terms of contempt and lroquois
is name given by the French. The Indians
rarely use the same name when different
tribes speak of each other

1t is not generally known that the
flesh of the whale is both nutritious and
palatable. Large quantities of it are
eaten every fishing season by the men
engaged in the captUre OF the fish; but
still larger quantities are, of course,
wasted. 1t recently occurred to a Nor
wegian speeulator that some OF the inn
menso mass OF food that is thus an
nually thrown ava might be profit
ably preserved and used for consump-
ton on shore. He made arrangements,
therefore, with several whaling captains
and two meat preserving firms, and last
week he gave a dinner, ut which he be-
lieves he demonstrated that whalo flesh
NAV be cooked in at least dozen diff
ferent ways, and that it forms de-
licious as well as wholesome article
of diet. Some parts of the fish, We are
told, supply materials for an excellent
imitation OF turtle soup; others rcsem-
BILE beef and still others are almost as
white and quite as tender as chicken.
The meat can be sold for about half
the price of Australian timed beef

Mr.. Bailey Willis is continuing his
continuing his explorations of Mount
Tacoma and its surroundings. Re-
Gently he assembled the mountain
from the north fork of the Puyallup
river, where he found two glaciers
some 1000 feet high. The snow was
very deep, and it was a somewhat
difficult ascent on this account. On
the south fork of the river there is a
glacier, but it is diSintregated and
broken. The glacier described by Mr..
Willis in the Nea0s is some 40 or 80
feet thick in front, evidently deepen
ing and widening towards the base of
the mountain. He says Tacoma is
not difficult ascent from the north.
1t was visited by A. d. Wilson and a
Mr.. Emmons in 1878, as well as by
Mr.. Stevens, whose explorations have
been published, In reference to the
reported discovery of a giant water
fall between Mounts Tacoma and
Adams, Mr.. Willis says he has not
explored the region where this dis
covery is alleged to have been made,
hut it is quite possible that such a
formation and waterfall may exist.
The story goes that a large body of
water emerges from a natural tunnel,
falling distance of 1900 feet, perpen-
dicularly, and that the mountain from
which this stream flows is premi-
nent object in the scenery of this re-
gion. Mr.. Willis left this city to re-
sumo his labors in the mountains on
Tuesday.-Tucomo Er.

A profound impression has been produced
in England and Ireland alike by the Pope's
circular, condemnlng not only the ParDell
fund, but the whole method and process OF
the agitation as conducted by him.
i London cable letter to the Tribune
states that the priests OF Ireland, with few
exceptions, are obeying the Pope's command
not TO aid the Testimonial fund, and that
while many speeches in support OF the fund
are made, not much moneyis given. The
attempt OF Parnel's supporters to make Err

People may say what they please, but
some facts OF history are, metaphoreally
speaking, difficult to swallow. For instance,
we are told, that Cleopatra drank a glass
OF wine in which was dissolved pearl worth
$40, 600; that Ptolemus Philadelphus OF
Egypt had fortune of $3.50, 600, 900; that
Aesop, the poet. paid $500, 600 for a single
supper, and that Heliogabalous reposed in a
bed-stead of solid gold. All this may be
true, but it seems more probable to say
that Swayne's Pills cure dropsy, bilious
headache and Indigestion. for there is more
truth than poetry in it.
