lieves constipation for the time, but at
the expense Of great injury to the in

Widely different is the action of Hostel

which produces effects prompt, indeed
but never violent and convulsing. The
purity of dts botanic ingredients, its
unobjectionable flavor, it's genial influ-

Henderson, N, G, Aug. 1.-THE school
election in this county went by default,
in every township. There was cast in
the county less than ten per cent. Of the
registered vote for Increased taxation for
schools. This does not indicate that our
people are not for more and better
schools, but is a showing of the temper of
the people under the management Of the
fusion rule.
The farmers are very busy now curing

and is curing well so far. The crops

felt much embarrassment while he
performed his task measuring the
pretty widow first from the ground to

chatelaine to her crown of hair. In
deed, so hurried was he that the oper-
alton had to be performed no less
than three times before he was at all
certain as to her height.

the widow.

to say so.

debating in his mind, he decided to
take wife, his thoughts at once
turned to matrimonial paper as the
best means for attaining his object.
Not that he was unacquainted with
any being on whom he would have
been willing to confer the title of
Mrs. Theodore Shy. But such was his
innate bashfulness that he dreaded
his determination being ascertained

times styled by his borrowers,) he
possessed good house, a good in
come, and all he required was a good
wife to make his home happy.
While matters were at this stage,
Theodore was brought to full stop,
and for this reason: He could not con-

He was in a dilemma for two days,
when he determined to seek the adj

who had often commiserated him on
his solitary lot. 1t is surprising that
being so bashful he should have act
ually sought the advice of lady, and
that lady, too, one who would posi-
bly, have no objection herself to be-
coming Mrs. Theodore Shy. But,
strange to say, that had never oc-

he had known before her marriage,
and was the only person he felt he

assured of her sympathy and dis

army, who, three months afterward,
was inconsiderate enough to leave his

twenty-five years of age, and exceed

that she bore a strong likeness to the
widow in whose eye Uncle Toby en-
deavored to find the imaginary some
thing. He had not, however, cOnsid-
cred the possibility of her likeness in
character to the aforesaid widow,
and, acting ON his first impulse, he
lost no time in paying the relict Of

He saw the young widow in her
