The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form OF
Night Sweafs and Nervousness, or in a
sense Of General WEAKNESS and Loss Of
Appetite, should suggest the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro
noting the digestion and assimilation Of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
lug, enric;iing, and vitalizing the blood.
aiIing Health. !.
Ten years ago my health began to fail.
I was troubled with distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, weakness, and Nervous
ness. l tried various remedies pre-
scribed by different physicians, but
became so weak that I could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended me to try Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which did, and am now
% healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
f. T.. Williams, Alexandcia, MINI.
I have used Ayers Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Scrofula, ard know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. j havO
also prescribed it as tonic, as well as an
alternative, and must say that l honestly
believe it to be the best blood medicine

a Plous fraud.

For years it has been charged that
Anthony ComStock has used the extra
ordinary power conferred upon him not
to suppress vice. bat to make money by
protecting vice, and now one OF his ex-
soecisl agents makes afidAvits that
Comstock and his agent have received
large sums from the gamblers, to whom
he accorded the protection of the socie-
ty. Comstock and bis men have made
public nuisances Of themselves by their
fanaticsl crussdes against art, bat the
public has endured them because it be-
lievsd them TO be sincere. It is not
safe to give one man the contract for
regulating the morals Of the country,
and I. is time to put Comstock on the

China's Wonderful Wall.

For short distance either side OF
the Lo-wan pass the wall is constructed
of brick, with rubble in the center;
but farther away it is composed almost
wholly of stone; in fact, whatever ma
terials were closest at hand would ap'
pear to have been made use of. Thus,
at the spots we visited. granite
abounded in greatest profusion, so in
the construction of the wall was il
made the principal ingredient, and for
miles the wall consists of large, shape
less masses of granite, smoothed only
on the outside. We observed but one
tower built entirely of stone, they be-
ing, with this exception, composed Of
brick with foundations of hewn stone.
The height of the wall from the top Of
the parapet is about II feet 10 inches
at most parts, though occasionally,
where the parapet is highest, it meas
ures 1S feet inches; its breadth is IS
feet, and the height of the parapet 5
feet inches. The towers are 81 feet
inches high and 2S feet inch broad.
The parapet is both crenelated and
loopholed, and the towers are pierced
for the discharge of some proiectile.
From any elevated site the scenery
well repays one for the trouble of as
cent; clear streams are seen meander-
ing down the passes, while on every
side, and looming far in the distance,
are succession of brown hilltops,
with small patches only under cultiva-
ton. Droves of pack-asses are seen
going and returning, the former un-
laden, and the latter bringing small
kind of brushwood, which the board
ers burn instead of the millet-stalk in
use on the plains, while in wild abun.
dance are scattered innumerable ash,
poplar and fire trees. OFF shoots
branch out from the wall in occasional
places. For their construction it is
difficult in every case to assign rea-
son. The little town Lo-wan Eu is
completely encircled by one, and on
the opposite double wall winds up
ward with the portions in nearly par
allel lines.
A visit the following day to the pass
of Cha-pow, distant about 21 lee from
that of Lo-wan, confirmed our surmlse
that in the erection of the wall the
contractors (f such they were) availed
themselves to any extent of the build
ing materials closest at hand. We no.
ticed several guns, most of which were
partially imbedded in the earth Of
rubble forming the center of the wall;
one bore an inscription recording that
it was cast in the reign of Wan Lee,
the last emperor of tho Ming dynasty.
1t must, therefore, have been upward
of 260 years old, and was evidently
fashioned after a European model A
great many of the towers were in de-
cayed state, and the interior of some
Of them, having been cleared of de-
bris, were converted into gardens and
granaries. ~ Once a Week.

slender figure bending beneath its
weight OF woe. She Needed nothing
and glided on until she stood opposite
the window OF her husbands Office,
and saw the CLEAN of lamp light
through an aperature in the closed
shutters. Then Rose uttered one 81
lent prayer for strength, tried the door,
found it open, and passed in.
In the meantime Harry Powell had
reached the rendezvous early, and had
waited some moments before the fig
ure of cloaked and hooded woman
came up the silent street and stood be-
side him. She was veiled so that he
could not see her features, but he
knew that she was fearful of dlscov-
cry, and did not wonder that it should
be so.
Il have been anxiously awaiting
you, he whispered; and she answered
in a still lower voice, Il have been
WATCHED! Make haste in-I am

And Harry led the way in and lit
the gas The lady was frightened still,
for she crouched down upon bale of
goods, with her veil upon her face
and her hand within her bosom.
'We are alone now, said Harry in
gallant tone. Let me see your face

either sob or laugh, came from he

was but moment; but in that brief
space Of time he felt a heavy hand on
his throat and saw cloak and bon
net lying on the floor A stalwart

stood over him, and he saw that he

opened the door for us, and shall
open the safe, and shall never live to

Liza was in love with you and was a
rich lady, did you! Ha, ha, you poor
fool
There was desperate struggle now,
but Harry was unarmed and in lit
tie while he lay PROSTATE on the floor,
with the ruffian's pistol at his breast.
1t was all over. He gave one bitter
thought of his own folly--one re-
morseful one to Rose--and closed his
eyes--closed them. to open them
again in wild amazement to see the
robber senseless on the floor and his
wife, his fair slender Rose. standing
over HIM with billet of wood in her
hand. She had saved him. And in
his penitence and shame he fell at her
feet, as one might fall before sacred
shrine.
He never forgot it. He never be-
trayed the sweet forgiveness she &C
corded him in his humiliation, anc
} though they are old people now, with
grandchildren about them, she still
watches for him in the twilight, anc
never watches long ~ Y. Evenins
