-HABITUAL constipation is not
only one of the most unpleasant,
but at the same time one of the
most injurious conditions Of the
human system, and is but forerun-
ner of disease, unless removed.
This is usually accomplished by the
use Of purgatiyes, which for the time

afford relief, but after their immedi-
ate effects have passed they leave
the system in a worse state than be-
fore. TO effect a cure it is necessa-
ry that the remedy used should be
one that not only by its cathartic
effect relieves the Bowels, but at the
same time acts as tonic, SO as to re-
store the organs to a sound, healthy
condition. This PRIeKLY ASH
B1TTERs will do. 1t removes the
cause and restores health.

NO. Is,

the time of parting approached,
however he drew the conversation
to that point, and was informed
that the sum Of five hundred dollars
would relieve his friend from en-
barrassment. Having large sum
in his possession he generously
rendered him the amount required,
and Hamilton after some hesitation
accepted the loan, and proposed to
give bis note for its repayment
which Saunders declined, under the
plea that the whole transaction was
a matter of friendship, and that
no such formality, was requisite.
When they were about to part
Hamilton unclasped his breastpia
and presented it to his friend
'Let this" said he, remind You
something Of Kentucky. I trust
that when l visit you next year 1
shall see it adjoining the person Of !
some favored fair one." b

laughingly returned the other, and
handing him silver-bafted pen
knife curiously embossed, they then
parted,
AS Hamilton was riding slowly
homeward engaged in thought, and
holding his bride loosely, deer
sprang suddenly from thicket and
fell in the road before his horse,
which started and threw him to the
ground. In examining the deer,
which had been MORALLY wounded
and was still struggling, some Of
the blood was sprinkled on his
dress, which had been otherwise
soiled by his fall. Paying little
attention to these circumstances he
returned home.
A vague report was brought to
the village that the body of mnr-
dered man was found near SCOTS

traveller, in company where Hamil
ton was present, and he instantly

He had ridden away with sapn-
ders, who was to have been in pos
session Of a large sum of money.
Since his return he had paid off
debts to large amount. The PEN
knife Of Saunders was recognized
in his hands, yet none were will
ing, on mere surmise, to hazard q
direct accusation.

Hamilton was candidate for the

Beneath the magnificent syca-
mores that bordered a lovely
stream in the southwest part Of
Kentucky, a company of emf
grants had pitched their encamp-
ment for the night. The tents
were set up; the night fire threw
its CLEAN upon the water; the wea-
ry horses were feeding; the evening
repast was over and preparations
made for repose, The party con-
sisted Of three brothers with their
families, who were vending their
way to the lands of the distant
Missouri.
AS they stirred the expiring fires
the column Of light, mingling with
the smoke and cinder, rose towards
the clear sky of the mild May
night, revealed travellers of differ
ent appearance, who had encamped
on the margin of the sand stream.
One was man of thirty;-several
years passed in the laborious prac-
tice of medicine in southern eli
mate had destroyed his constitu-
| ton, and he had come to breathe
the bracing air of a higher latitude.
The other young man who sat by
| him was friend to whom he had
| paid visit, and who was now at
tending him short distance on his
Journey. They had missed their
way, and reluctantly asked permits
sion of the emigrants to share their
coarse fare rather than wander in
the dark through unknown forests
Hamilton, the younger Of the two,
was perhaps twenty-seven years Of
age, and was gentleman of pre-
possessing appearance, Of cultiya-
ted mind, and of a chivalrous and
sensitive disposition. In one Of
his commercial expeditions down
the Mississippi he had met with
Saunders, the physician. An init
macy ensued which, though brief,
had already ripened into mature
friendship. Early in the morning
the two friends pursued their jour
ney AS they were about to de-
