In time, the poison will cer- tainly show its effects, and the more virulence the longer it has been allowed to permeate the system. Each pimple, sty, boil, skin disorder and sense of unnatural lassitude, or languor, is one of Natures warnings of the consequences of neglect.

She had been reading Moppet nice

much. And it was quite too late to send
for one now.

No, sir. said Moppet, bashully.
And never saw one3 Well we'll
now that's dreadful pity
Mr.. Frazer's eyes twinkled. Was he
laughing at herr Moppet wondered.
But before she could quite settle the mat
ter in her own minds she heard a little
tap at the window.
oh, its Dovey Diamond she cried,
forgetting for the moment everything
but herpretty drab and white pet outside.
And he's come after his dinner.
So Moppet opened the window, and
got handful Of crumbs, and fed the
dove half of them, and leftthe other half
on the table.
And nobody but Betty, the cat, saw

start And Betty didn't tell; though
maybe she wondered what he meant to

Goodbye, he sang out to=NIoppct,

And then Moppet felt very sure he
was laughing al her, and she hated

But the next morning she had some
thing else to think about. Dovey Dia-

A CariSuS SAIpWreck.
lScientific Americana

A daily paper gives the follow.
ing account of singular ship
wreck from the lips of Captain
White, Of the brig Ada L. White,
which was abandoned and lost on
her recent voyage from Rio Jan.
eiro TO this port. Capt. White
said il was fine sumner weather,
with the mercury standing at so
degrees In the shade, when they
left Rio, December 10. with l1,ais
bags Of coffee on board. The voy
age continued without incident
until the brig left Jamaica, when a
gale came bowling from the north.
west, and lasted for three days.
But II was several days later,
when 100 miles ont at sea, of Hat.
teras, that the great storm which
wrecked them was encountered.
The waves ran high, the wind blew
almost hurricane. and lashcd the
ocean into foam; wave after wave
broke over the ship, and finally
water enough got below TO wet
the cargo. Then the coffee began
to swell, the bags burst, aud more
water got IN. The coffee, which
was forced out OF the open sacks,
flosted into the pumps and soon
disabled them. II was now impos.
sible to reduce the water in the
hold.
Meanwhile the fury of the storm
increased, and the sea was terri.
BILE TO behold. In the midst of
these scenes of peril, a new and
terrible danger appeared. BE.
cause of the disabled pumps,
which were choked with coffee,
the eleven thousand bags OF cof
fec became completely saturated
aud the whole mass rose like
yeast. With q shock that shook
the vessel to her center. tho decks
burst open with y crash of thun
der. The hatchcs were wrenchet
of as il they were but paper, ant
great seams opened in the vessel
which admitted the sea in torrents
All hope WAS now lost. Nothing
was to be done but leave the shiT
as speedily as possible, for she
was already settling In the white
waters.
