Sister Catherine nurses Vanity
Poor Vanity Hardware! Wounded in body
and utterly broken spirits, she clung to
her new friend like child, and told her all
the story of her life How her mother had
been good and true through all her suffer
ings until her death How, when dying,
she had called Vanity to her sile, and put
little faded white flower into the child's
hand; saying: '*@...
''There, darling, lai that flower on your
little breast the day you were baptized
Then the flower was as fresh and sweet as
your bosom was white and pure, Keep that
flower year after year, my child. Never do
anything to soil it-n tt .H.'

The Fountain of Youth.

Dyspepsia is the prevailing malady of
civilized life. A weak dyspeptic stomach
acts very slowly or not at all on many kinds
Of food; gases are extricated, acids are
formed and become a source of pain and
disease until discharged. To be dyspeptic
is to be miserable, hopeless, depressed, con-
fused in mind, forgetful, irresolute, drowsy,
weak, l.nguid and useless. 1t destroys the
Teeth, Complexion, Strength, Peace of
Mind and Bodily ease. 1t produces Head
ache, Pain in Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness
OF Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations Of
Stomach, Bad Taste in Mouth, Bilious
Attacks, Palpitation of Heart, Inflammation
Of Lungs, Pain in the region OF the Kidneys,
and hundred other painful symptoms.
Dyspepsia invariably yields to the vege-
table remedies in GOLDEN SEAL

better guarantee of its merits than lengthy

We have investigated the adaptability e
the Usage Orange Plant TO the soil and eli
mate of this state for hedging purposes for
many years, and with results so far satisfac-
tory, that We feel no hesitancy in guarantee
ing our patrons stock-proof hedges wherever
our skill and experience is applied and
adhered TO. Fences are a necessity; then
why not everlasting ones? If live fences are
TO be resorted to, then why not bring to bear
such skill and experience as shall at once
decide the question of success? With Us,
the day of experiments, involving the loss of
both time and money, is past. We know
and apply the proper principles in construct
ing hedges, rendering them both practical
and ornamental throughout. With an exper-
fence of % years throughout the western
states, where hedging was first resorted to,
and where the merits of the Usage Orange
was first developed, we hereby introduce
ourselves with confidence to the farmers of
this and adjoining states, asking their pat
ronaee and an opportunity to further dem
onstrate the superiority of our plans and
methods. We take great pleasure in ap-
pending statements to illustrate the measure
of satisfaction, as felt upon the part of our
former and present patrons. eu

The relative speed of English and Ameri-

heated discussion between travellers repre-
senting John Bull and Uncle Sam. writer
in the forthcoming (August) Harper's, in a
paper on English and American Railways
discusses the question in some detail, and
sums up the controversy by declaring. "The
truth of the matter is that we have trains in
America which are as fast as the fastest
trains in England. and that they have trains
in England which are as slow as the slowest
trains in America" though the average speed
is greater in England because of better road
beds. avoidance Of grade crossings, better

The newspapers are making q great
edo about the log cabin of Joaquin
Miller. The fast that the "Child Of the
Sierras" prefers 10 live in q cabin made
Of logs, with common clay pasted in
the cracks, rather than in q seven-story
fat, has interested several million peo-
pie. The poet is q deceptive man. One
who reads his writings and hears the
gossip about him would expect to meet
primeval child Of the forest, wander
ing around the city, clad in bear-skins
and reticence. They would find Mr..
Miller q civilized man. When he came
to New York few years ago il is true
that he appeared in blue shirt, with
long yellow hair flowing around his
shoulders and struggling beard drop
ping to his waist. He was somewhat
erratic then. / remember once, in q
sudden freak, he engaged negro valet.
who bore striking resemblance to the
pugilist known as the Black Diamond.
This fellow followed Mr.. Miller around
like the ghost of blackened past. 1t
was said that Miller employed the
powerful negro to hold his victims
while he read his poetry to them. This
rumor was never substantiated, however.
Mr.. Miller now wears his hair of
reasonable length. He has poetic cast
of features, and wears the nustache
and imperial of Prussian grenadier-
if there are any Prussian grenadiers.
He is good natured and clever, and
never talks poetry unless he has been
dining late. To hear him converse at
his best, one should casually remark
that Mckee Rankin-who stole one of
his plays--is a gentleman. The poet
of the Sierras will rise then and deliver
himself of few sentiments that will
blow the gas out and make the china
dance on the table. Brooklyn Eagle.
