Good News from Texas.

Mr.. Thomas A Howard of Honey Grove, Fan,
min County, Texas, under date of April 5, 1883,
writes as follows:
Il have been suffering during several years from
severe illness, and a general breaking down of my
physical system, and have tied the treatment and
prescriptions of many doctors far and near and
travelled to the hot Springs and other springs ia
nous for their remedial qualities, drinking the
waters and bathing Systematically in their healing
depths but all to no avail, as l steadily failed in
health; and although informed by my physicians
of kidney disease Of dangerous character, they
could give me nothing 10 cure me Dnring the
past two years my sufferings at times were dread
full, and had the most Undesirable pains in the
regions about the kidneys, the paroxysms OF which
were so severe to render itimpossible for me 10
sleep. While in this deplorahle and discouraged
condition | was persuaded to try Hunts Remedy,
and after usng less than half bottle my great
sufferings and paroxysms of pain were entirely re
ieved, and l could sleep longer and better than
had in two years before, and although / am now on
my third bottle only my improvement is very re-
markable, and regret that did not know Of the
wonderful curative powers of Hunts Remedy be-
fore as it would have saved me years of suffering
/ heartily recommend ii 10 all afflicted with any
kidney disease or disease of the urinary organs"

DntY OF Rest.

There is false idea prevalent about
resting enough in the few weeks of the
summer to last the year. However full
of delight and peace the lazy hours in
the country, however freighted with rest
and strength the long days by the sea.
we cannot hoard and carry away enough
of the precious store. Every twenty
four hours is a circle of its own in which
to tear down and build up, and what
ever is spent between one shutdown and
another must be made good from food,
recreation and rest, and whoever COM
mences the morning already tired is
spending too much somewhere, and will
hnd that system of paying natures
past debts by drawing on the future will
make him a bankrupt. But we do not
need TO wait till in the fulness of time
we can JON the throng at watering
places. TO any one unless shut up be-
tween four brick walls, if there belong a
green spot somewhere around the house;
if he can sit at least under one vine and
fig tree of his own. there is at hand a
perennial spring, if he but knows how
to drink OF it, Perhaps you will say:
Il cannot stop to rest; have no time;
will by and by, but now must do my
work" All! but are you sure of your
by and by? the one this side of eternity,
l mean! Are you not doing the very
thing now that may lose it for you, or if
entered upon, viii it not, instead of be-
| ing spent in rest, as you fondly hoped,
| be spent rather in vain regrets for the
strength so unwisely and hopelessly
| lost? Moreover what is this work you
must be constantly doing? If to do
| good is your ruling motive, have you
not learned that it is what you are as
well as what you do that blesses the
world? and though the toll of your
hands is worth much, a beautiful spirit
of good cheer surrounding you is worth
more, and you are not becoming the
best you might be if you have no time
to entertain this spirit of rest and
strength which cannot live with weari.

Horace Boies on the Germans of Iowa
They are the bone and sinew OF the Ia
boring classes of the state, and without
them our towns would languish and many
of our farms become deserted in single
decade. But they drink beer, seldom to
excess; seldom anything stronger They
congregate in what they call beer saloons
and beer gardens, and while away many
pleasant hour of their livesin their own
way. The whole entertainment costs but
few pennies, and yet they 60 home
from these meetings with hearts as full of
unalloyed joy as do their fashionable devo-
les of American society, from the most
gorgeous and costly entertainments. These
have been their simple customs from
childhood, and to break them up is to
wreck one of their social habits. What
do our prohibition friends propose TO do
with these people? Simply to make it
a criminal offense in every man in the
state who shall manufacture. or sell to
one of them glass of beer. and to make
each of them morally, at least, a parLi-
ceps criminis, who buys or drinks it"

In the rarest Of EngIish valleys

In the rarest of English valleys
motherless girl ran Wild
And the greennesss and silence and gladness
We're soul of the soul of the child.
The birds we've her gay little brothers,
The squirrels her sweethearts shy;
And her heart kept tune with the rain-drops,
And sailed with the clouds in the sky.
And angels kept coming and going,
With beautiful things to do;
And wherever they left footprint
A cowshp or primrose grew.
She was sake1i to live in london,
So thick with pitileSs folk,
And she could not smile for its badness,
And could not breathe for its smoke.
And now, as she lay on her pallet,
Too weary and weak to rise,
smile of ineffable longing
Brought dews to her faded eyes:
"Oh me, for a yellow cowslip,
A pale little primrose dear!
Won't some kind angel remember,
And pluck one and bring it here?"
They bought her bunch of cowslips;
She took them with fingers weak,
And kissed them, and stroked them, and loved
them,
And laid them against her cheek.
at was kind of the angels to send them,
And, now, I'm too tired to pray.
If God looks down at the cowslips,
He'll know what want to say"
They buried them in her bosom,
And when she shall wake and rise,
Why may not the flowers be quickened,
And bloom in her happy skies?

A Marriage Prevented.

The question how near couple can |
come to being married without actually
becoming man and wife was answered
in very extraordinary case reported
not long ago from Lyons, in France. All
the preliminaries, including the mar
riage contract-the bride being an heir
ess-had been arranged with the utmost
harmony, and the day had arrived for
the civil marriage-which, under the
law of the Republic, is the binding one
ON the morning, and for the blessing
of the priests at the Cathedral altar in
the afternoon. The parties were before
the Mayor, and what a Chicago lawyer.
addressing a divorce jury, called " the
fatal question had been asked of each
and duly answered; whereupon the
Mayor had rendered his personal as well
as official congratulations, and placed
before them the attesting document
which, when signed made them law
fully man and wife. At this critical
moment the proceedings were inter-
rupted by the entrance of Geographic
messenger. The couple paused, pens in
hand; the witnesses stared i'll surprise;
and the Mayor dropped his spectacles
in nervous fit as he handed the
message to the brides father. The
telegram ran as follows: Mon
sieur (the bridegroom) has
already been married in Germany, and
his wife lives. Vouchers are on their
way to You by post" The Mayor, as
he is bound to do under the Civil Code
when warning comes, postponed the
Authorization for week. The week
passed, but no vouchers came. Every
body agreed the telegram was a mali
cious trick, perpetrated by some revenge
fulrival-everybody excepting the bride,
who had been brooding over the tele-
gram and, to the surprise of every one,
believed it. She sent back the dia-
mond ring, the silver candle-stick, the
gold-mounted prie-dieu, the breviary of
the lady who was almost her mother-in-
law and annulled the settlement. The
Judge dc Paix of Lyons and the Mayor
had a consultation with the lawyers and
the notary; and it was unanimously
agreed that the couple, as the English
peasantry put it, were stiil couple and
not a pair. All inquiries instituted by
the bridegroom with regard to the send
! er of the telegram proved fruitless; the
only information ever obtained being
that ii was paid for by "veiled wo2l-
an in black. "-CaGmbcrS, journal.

more room left for doubt as to who had
