The other morning a citizen of Sproat street.
who looked the very picture of health, was wait
ing to take the car, and whistling as a man at
peace with all the world, when along came an
acquaintance, who halted abruptly. gazed at him
in a doubtful way, and finally held out his hand
with the remark:
well, well! Then l was mistaken!'
'In WHAT"
"Why, [ thought I heard my wife reading
your death notice two weeks ago, and knowing
how bad your liver"
My death notice! Why, there isn't q healthier
man in Detroitl'
And knowing how badly your liver was af
feeted, continued the other, Il didn't wonder at
it. You are a terribly careless man
'Why, howl"
I'm not taking more care Of yourself. The
liver is a great vital organ, and no man showing
the symptoms you do has any right to neglect
searching for a remedy
MY liver! I'll bet you fifty dollars that
Never mindl If you want to be obstinate,
that's your lookout and not mine. l simply
promise to be one of the palt bearers. Good
morning.
1t was wonderful how the smile faded and the
whistling ceased, Instead of taking the car the
man headed down town at a slow pace, a half
scared look on his face, and it was only by a
great effort that he passed the first drug store.
When he came to the second he walked in, and
without even referring to the weather, he said:
doc, nay liver is 4 trife ont of order, and |
guess I'll buy 4 bottle of iuvigorator."
He got it and hurried off, anxious to reach
the Office and get down Il dose, and no man will
see a smile on his face again until he calls upon
some doctor and learns that his liveris working
away like a two horse engine, and shows no sign
of skipping a cog.

DICKENS IN 1868.
His Physical Appearance, Dress and Manner
Two Years Before His Death.

Two Years Before His Death.
From Lecture by George NJ. Towle.
From behind the plain, broad writing-table a
brisk, active figure came forward to greet me,
with a bright twinkle of the eye, a sunny smile
and a hearty grasp Of the hand. A Remarkably
youthful figure, as it first appeared to me, and
most Iauntily arrayed. The apparel was con
spicuous and even foppish. There seemed to be
a pervading effect of gold and jewelry rather too
laVishly displayed. Coat. vest and trousers
were cut in the top of the days fashion. The
cravat was brilliant in color and obtrusive in
size. The general impression was that of q
dainty and airily-dressed man, to whom a good
looking glass was a very necessary article of do
nestle furniture.
But | was soon drawn from this rapid contem-
plation of attire to observe the features and
manners of the man himself. Never, [ thought,
had the art of photography more completely
failed to catch the true lineaments and expires
sion Of its subject than i'll this instance. Here
before me was a face aglow with a bright,
healthy. pink-and-white bloom: a face which,
while furrowed with heavy lines when in repose.
was yet youthful in its expressive and changeful
vivacity; a large mouth, about whose corners
there seemed always playing Il quizzical smile,
and hair and beard slightly tinged, indeed, with
streaks of gray, yet fine and tawny and curly,
and arranged with studious care about tie broad
white forehead, the retreating chin and the
delicately tinted checks.
But of all the striking features the great
beauty of the eyes first attracted and held the
visitor. Eyes of the bluest blue; eyes which
danced and sparkled with sunniest m%erriment,
and yet which quickly softened into serious sym
pathy; eyes which were brilliant and searching,
and seemed always to be kindly, though keenly,
reading the person to whom he was talking,
yet which never hardened into sternness: eyes
in which, especially, you could discern all the
humanity and htfmor, the noble Intellectual pos
sibilities and the manly tenderness of their pos

The Defender.

Care anne and laid his hand upon her shoulder,
ADd sorrow came, her lids with salt tears wet;
And pain, with features marred and white and set,
Pressed TO her side; and then, stern-visaged, gaunt,
Fright'ning her shaken soul, Implying want
Stared in her face; and then grown holder
by all these ills. temptation, smiling, fair,
Spread for her weary feet a charmed snare.
With tender, cruel hand. SO cold the world!
Al her weak soul in a strange tempest whirled;
With whitened lips, and sad, imploring breath,
She stretches out her helpless hand to death.
Then 10! one came, before whose radiant grace
SORROW grew dumb and grim care hid his face.
Before whose presence, radiant as the day;
Temptation, vexed and beaten. fed away,
For whose dear sake she trembled at the thought
OF death, whose pallid kiss she fain had sought.
With a strange rapture, holy, r~estful, sweet,
Against her own she felt a true heart beat.
Oh, life, she cried, no i'll of thine can hold me,
Since love, the mighty, in his arms doth fold me.

The Fate of a Hebe.
Charleston News and Courier.

About thirty years ago Colonel w. b. John
ston built IA large cistern in Mulberry street. in
Macon, Ga. This cistern was ornamented in the
center with a fountain consisting of a beautiful
life-size statue of the charming goddess Hebe, as
she appears in art, a cup-bearer, dispensing nee
tar at the b~anquets of the gods. Hebe was per
feet in form and lovely in the graceful manner
in which she held the tankard in one hand and
poured the unceasing flow of water into Il bowl
held in the other hand. On one occasion q seri-
GUS objection was made to her appearance by an
elderly widow from Wilkinson county, who was
the guest of Peter J. Williams. the landlord of
the old Washington Hall, which was located
near the fountain. She asked Mr.. Williams what
the figure meant. He described it, and was en-
thusiastic in praising the beauty of Hebe's form
and graceful attitude.
THAT all may be true replied the widow,
'but / object to it because she ought to have on
some clothes. and l will subscribe one dollar to
buy eight yards of calico to have a frock made
for her"
Several years after a new council, who seemed
to be less Rsthetical than their predecessors, was
elected, when they passed a resolution ordering
Hebe to be removed to a more secluded place.
Thus the beautiful statue of the young goddess
was consigned to darkness in a cellar until during
the lato war When lead became scarce it was
presented to the Macon arsenal by Mr.. Johnston,
where it was melted and produced > 800 pounds
Of lead, which were moulded into confederate
bullets.

A. withered leaves unto the beech bough cling,
parchment record of the past years green,
So memory's pages to my vision bring
In one worn tome all that my life has been.
But they are neither gray nor wrinkled leaves,
Ashen with age that moldy records yield,
But shining as the ripened harvest sheaves
That dot with gold a sun-steeped autumn field.
And all the roots of life reach out to drink
The sap that yet may add new record rings,
And as the soil grows dry yet deeper sink
Searching to touch and tap still hidden springs.
Though gnarled and wrinkled has the tree trunk
grown,
Unlike when it a slender sapling grew,
j. may have strength and beauty still its own,
More grand than e'er its youthful vigor knew.
/ deem that weak and mawkish morning lost,
For peach-smooth checks with rosy hue afame-
That Time has with his busy BURN crost
The face with lines and signed the artists name.
Tor color that the youthful cheek possessed
Through natures process yet again may show,
Above the place where I at last shall rest
In flowers that draw from what was l their glow.
! hear no ghostly sound in empty rooms
To low-voiced words a hollow echoed moan;
I;ut sunlight there each Swallowed niche illumes,
And soundslong still come back with laughing tone.
Zen pain has this one compensating thought,
That life is part of one stern law, SO grand.
That through the universe it changes not,
Nor stays for aught that is its bailias hand.
HIen why should 1 with e~gotistic dread
Mourn that the shape l wear must pass away;
an fear the change to which my steps are led;
The phase of law called L has had its day,

Ii Angel Sleep.

When the day is done and the shadows fall
Oyer the earth like a dusky pail,
Then from the mystic, the silent deep
Rises the beautiful Angel Sleep.
Ger field and forest he spreads his wings
Where the cricket chirps and the wood bird sings,
And the murmur of voices dies away,
Stilled by the Angel calm and gray.
Human passions that surge and swell
Are silenced under the mystic spell,
And tired hearts that are used to weep
Yield to the power of the Angel Sleep.
Soft he broods till the morning gray,
Then as noiselessly glides away,
And the spell is lifted and hearts again
Take up their burden of care and pain.
We call him Death! It's the Angel Sleep
THAT comes at last from the silent deep,
Aud smooths forever the brow of care,
And Gains the fever of passion there.
So we sleep and rest. till the morning gray
Breaks once more of an endless day,
And into the mystic, the unknown deep,
Plies forever the Angel Sleep.

Where wood violets love to grow
Thickly lies the winter snow;
Where the streamlet sung and danced,
And the summer sunbeam glanced
Through the meadow down the dale,
All is hushed, and chill, and pale.
Where the crowfoot's tender green
Earliest in the springs seen;
Where the checkerberries hide
By the pale arbutus' side,
And the cowslips, tipped with gold,
Over hill and dale unfold,
Where the ferret, soft and brown,
Stores his nest with pilfered down;
And the tieldmouse in the heather
Sleeps for days and weeks together;
And the squirrel, wise and dumb,
Waits for better days to come,
Lies the ~winter-bitter strong
Heaped through freezing nights and long;
While the tempest comes and goes,
Sliding swift DER drifted SHOWS;
Clouds above and gloom below;
Tell me, when will winter go?
When the buds begin to swell;
When the streams leap through the dell
When the swallows dip and fly,
Wheeling, circling through the sky;
When the violet bids the rose
Waken from its long repose;
When the gnats in sunshine dance;
When the long. bright hours advance;
When the robin by the door
Sings as ne'er he sang before;
Then, when heart, and flower, and wing
Leap and ~laugh-then comes the spring!

the Rheumatism is there. 1t is no more there

where it runs the loom or printing press. 1t is
