The lentiH of the Old Teotameat, Af ter Foarteea Yean of Ardaon* Labor, ia at Last Completed. London, Mav 15. Copies of the revised version ot the Old Testament were given to the newspapers at midnight last night. A semi-official article prepared for the London Times reads sub stantially as follows: •‘Finally the international work of years baa come to a close. The revised version of the New Testament was issued May, 1881, and now the revised Old Testament will soon be published in all parta of the English speaking world. This revision is the most important event in the history of the English Bible since the publication of King James’ publication in 1611. The success of the Old Testament may not be as great as that of the New, of which more than a million copies were sold on the day of publication, and more than three million copies before the close of the year. But it will probably be more favorably received and less severely criticised, for it in volves no changes of the Hebrew text. All errors of translation have been removed, and the revision will be pronounced by every competent bible reader to be a very great im provement. It presents the results of the combined labor of a large number of the best Hebraists and biblical scholars of England and the United States. The new version is not a good version in place of a bad one, but a great improvement of a good version. The movement for the present revision was in augurated by the Convocation of Canterbury, the mother church of the Anglo-Saxon Chris tendom. May 84, 1870, and steps towards the consummation of the complete revision were almost immediately taken. It was voted to invite the cooperation of some American divines. The result was the selection of cer tain gentlemen who were fitted for the work, and likely to be regarded as authorities in biblical learning by the American public, and the submission of their names to Bishop Elliott and Dean Stanley as representing the English body, and in the autumn of 1882 the American committee began the work 'two years later than the English committees. Although the Americau committee were two years behind in their work, they pressed forward with such alacrity that they finished their labors with their English brethren. The officers were: President—Phillip Scholl, D. D.,L. L. D. Secretary—George E. Day, D. D. Advisorary member on questions of Ara bic—Beyront Syria. The meetings of the American committee were held every month, from September to May, inclusive, in each year, at the rooms in the bible house in New York. A summer meeting was held usually in Newhaven, An dover or Princetown. The old testament wag minutely consider ed and discussed. The work was reviewed in a very careful manner, twice, from begin ning to end. An arrangement was made between the English companies and officers connected with the University presses of Oxford and Cambridge, by which the revised version in Great Britian became the property of these institutions on the condition that the large expenses incidental to the preparations of work in that country,should be paifi by them. The coyright accordingly passed into their control. The American committee refused to sell their copyright. The attitude of the English committee toward the suggestions of the American re visors, was always that of readiness to give them a most respectful consideration. FROM VERMONT. The Strong Arm of the Law Gets Left Pistol Practice. Bellows Fills, Vt., May 15. A suspicious character answering to the description of J. W. Watson, the noted cracksman wanted by the United States government fornumerous post office robberies and other jobs, was discovered at Chester depot, yesterday. He hired a team for Spring field.

N» Answer Yet Rede to Baglaed’* Pro. annuls tor Settlement—A Merchant of Herat States What to Needed-A Runaor That Threateas Trouble. London. May 15. Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice announced in the House of Commons this afternoon, that Russia had not vet sent any answer to Eng lish proposals. He added that the govern ment must refuse to make public the details of the negotiations between the two govern ments, as these negotiations were still pro ceeding. It to reported that Gen. Komarofl considers the objections of the Sarika to the proposed boundary well founded, as it gives the Af ghans the best pasture lands. The Standard nvs: To speak plainly, the draft of li.e A ogl ‘-Russian agreement which was sent to St. Petersburg for approv al, is found to be almost wholly unacceptable to the Czar's ministers. Though not formally rejected, it has been so thoroughly condemned in detail, that practicalry it has'ceased to be an" agreement. This 'is something vastly more serious than a bitch in the proceed ings. We are back to February again, the situation only being altered to our disadvan tage. The Times’ Calcutta correspondent denies that there has been a stoppage or military preparations in India. He says all rumors to that effect are untrue. Soaaiir, May 15. Australian troops are preparing to embark for home. A portion will go to England as guests of the home government. Much irritation is felt over this in the foreign office, but the rectification demanded it and it it not considered of sufficient impor tance to lead to a rupture of negotiations. Pams, May 15. A despatch from St. Petersburg to the Journal Des Debate save that Russia has en tirely rejected British proposals. The same despatch also says that Russia will demand the right to have an acknowledged Russian representative at Cabnl, the capital of Af ghanistan. French diplomats think this lat ter demand, if made, will prove more serious than the frontier question. St. Petersburg, May 15. The Vremya revives the discussion of the question of an Anglo-Russian alliance with Herat belonging to Russia. The Czar is intending to raise the state of siege, and to stop the transportation for po litical offences. He has asked M. Durnows who is acting as minister of the interior dur ing the idleness of Count Tolstoi, to report upon the state of the country. M. Durnows reports an active revival of nihilism, and hatching of new plots at Geneva and London. The Czar has consequently decided to main tain the existing measures tor the suppres sion of nihilism. A merchant of Herat writes to a Persian paper that Afghanistan must have a treaty of commerce and customs with Russia; also that an arrangement must be made respect ing the navigation of the Amndaria river. And that an English consul must be stationed at Merrv. He points out that formerly, trade with the Turkomans was free and Eng liih goods were imported free of duty at Merry, but this year all has been stopped since Merry became a Russian possession. The Official Messenger todav publishes a report from Gen. Komaroff to the effect that the Sariks are opposed to the new frontier line proposed by England, claiming that it it an infringement on their rights and gives tbe best land in the disputed territory to the Afghans. A council of ministers was held, and after thoroughly discussing the subject it was decided to support the claims of the Sariks. Further pour parlers between Eng land and Russia will be necessary so that the claims of the Sariks may be considered be fore an Anglo-Russian agreement can be ap proved by Russia. London. May 15. Russia is annoved at the agreement be tween China and Japan to organize a system of gendermerie in Corea under European officers. It is reported that De Giers attrib utes the agreement to English intrigue. The Standard believes that Russia defiitely declines to sanction the proposals regarding the Afghan frontier, just submitted for ap proval by England. No formidable opposition is expected in Parliament to the government proposals on the crimes act. The Globe this afternoon states that Eng land demanded a definite pledge from Russia to respect the new Russo-Afghan frontier under any circumstances, and renew the as surance that Afghanistan was outside the Russian sphere. Russia refused to acceed to this request and retaliated by also demanding further concessions. London, May 14. Gladstone stated in the House of Commons today that Russia’s reply to tbe proposals con cerning the Afghan agreement had been waited for some days. A portion of the papers relating to the frontier question would be circulated tomorrow, but as the negotia tions were incomplete, the papers wonld be “broken off" at the Penjdeh incident. Concerning the business of the session, Gladstone said the government intended to deal with the Scotch Crofters' bill, the Scot tish secretary bill and the Irish crimes act. He said he regretted that during the present session it would be impossible to deal with the local government of Ireland bill and the bill relating to the purchase of land in Ire land. TOO MUCH FLOUR. Minneapolis Mills Shotting Down for Want of Orders. St. Paul, Minn., May 15. The Minneapolis flouring mills, baring a combined daily capacity of 2000 barrels, shut down yesterday.

§>9g §tuntlm §itmul Augusta. Saturday Htraing, May 16. How to deal with tramps is becoming a serious question in northern Calfornia. We publish this morning a letter from the “wild West” whieb will be worthy of perusal. The belief is general that the trouble in the Northwest will soon be over. Riel will probably take and keep himself out of the way. Mr. Howells has finished the novel which is to succeed “Silas Lapham” now published in the “Century,” and has still another blocked out. Five miles of elevated railroad were opened to public travel in Brooklyn on Wednesday. The road is well built and well equipped, and will doubtless be ex tended ere long. England imports 200,000.000 feet of lumber every year, besides what is cut on the British Islands. Forward-looking men advise timber culture on many rough acres ot Scotland and Ireland, which now produce nothing. The world’s timber supply is dwindling every year, and civi lised man should be looking ahead to pro tect his children from a wood famine. Many of the paper* on this side the water criticize Mr. Gladstone very severe ly. But it is useless to deny his abilities as a statesman. He is, however, pre-em inently a peace man, and Johnny Bull has not been noted for any such character in times put. Brittania’s very disposition to ••rule” all thing* as well as “the wave” is what makes Mr. Gladstone’s row a particularly bard one. The Irish residents ot Philadelphia have begun to hit at England with an instru ment more effective than dynamite. They have resolved that they will buy no more British goods. Their association for this purpose is not very old yet, but it has be gun operation*. Every member has his ticket and pledge; and the storekeeper who passes English goods off as American make will be reported to the officers of the society and boycotted by the Irish cit izens. so far as the influence stoo: “I have been troubled with Asthma for twelve yean, and have employed Skillful physicians of Boston, also two of the leading physicians of Augusta, without effect. I have felt nothing of this trouble since taking ADAMSON’S BOTANIC COUGH BALSAM.” From Mrs. H. C. Somers, Hotel Efllngham, 1*38 Broadway. New York: ‘Five years ago my mother, was sick la bed with a severe cold We procured a trial bottle of ADAMSON'S BALSAM, and before she had used It all her cough was better, and three small bottles cured her entirely.

This Is a medicine so favorably known In New Knglaud. attention hardly need be called to it. The owners of the medicine are Messrs. F- W. Kins man Sc Co., who formerly resided In Augusta. Me., a firm well knowu for tneir uprightness and Integrity. Their Increasing business made It advisable for them to locate in a larger commercial centre, and they selected New York city. 343 Fourth avenue, as the most favorable point to meet the demauds of their widely extended business. Few medicines have stood the test of time, and have become standard specifics for certain ailments. None have stood the test better than ADAMSON’S BOTANIC BALSAM. For more than twenty years It has been gaining the confidence of the public, and today It is welcomed as one of the most efficient specifics for alleviating the troubles arising from colds, coughs, sore throat and kindred troubles. We bear this willing testimony to the merits of a medi cine which has been successfully tested in so many families, and to the high standing of the firm who own it.—From the N. Y. Morning Journal.

Each settler also takes care to see that his premises are protected from the fires which may be set by his neighbors, by run ning furrows or burning off the dry grass in every direction; but in spite of all the pre cautions there is always much damage done by the fires, often the buildings and stock of some farmer being entirely consumed. These fires are started for the purpose of burning off the dried grass and stubble and making the breaking easier, or in order to clear off the old grass where hay is to be cut for win tering the stock. Such fires are interesting to look upon when they are raging at night in every direction and the whole circle of the horizon seems to be a belt of flame. When fanned by a strong breeze, the flames roar so loud they may be heard at quite a distance, as they rush over the ground more rapidly than man or beast can travel. All this region being so destitute of trees, lumber is high, and fuel for cooking and warming purpose* is very dea-. Coal sells at from #5 to #12 a ton, according to whether it is soft or hard, while there is no wood for sale in many of the towns. Corn cobs are utilized where the farmer has raised much corn, but the main dependence is hay twisted into knot* nr ropes, so that it will fit the stoves The twisting is done at odd m >ment* by the men, or by the children, and some times by the women of the house. While it might seem as though hay would be the last article to use for fuel, yet on trial it yields quite satisfactory results, burning fast at first hut soon forming a mass of embers which I glow and burn for a long time, requiring only occasional solutions or tuel. In this section the oxen are never driven with the goad, but trained to be guided by reins fastened to the horns or to bits in the mouths of the beasts. This seems to be an improvement over the Eastern custom, as the teamster need not walk, and seldom does,and the oxen walk much faster than they are ac customed to in New England. The climate of Dakota is very healthv, the air i« fine, drv, free from malaria and full of inspiring oxygen and invigorating ozone. The winters are cold, the thrrmometer easily running down to 40 degrees below zero, but on account of the dryness of the atmosphere the temperature is not felt to be so cold as it really is. The ‘'blizzard,” with its biting winds and its cutting snows, is an unpleasant feature of this territory in the winter and earlv spring. The snow falls so fast and so blinding that an out-building a few yards away can not be seen from the house, and frequently in a severe blizzard men have lost their way and perished while attempting to pass from the house to the stable. In sum mer the days are quite hot, there being no trees for shade or to temper the scorching rays of the sun, but each night grateful breezes cool the heated atmosphere, and make tleep and rest possible and refreshing to mind and body. For three winters past but little snow has fallen in this section of the territo ry, hardly a foot altogether at one time, it seeming to be outside of the snow belt. Ot course the railroads have been the mak ing of this country, opening up the territory and furnishing ready means of reaching the markets with the products of the land. Some of these railway systems are immense in their proportions, and are models of excel lence in management, notably the Chica go and North-Western railroad., which, ex tending from Chicago to the west and north west in every direction, owns and operates or controls nearly six thousand miles of the best constructed and best equipped railroad in the country. Its lines are of heavy steel rail, its bridges are of steel, iron and rock, and all of it* appointments are the best. The North-Western reaches with its branches nearly all of the richest and best portions of Dakota, and, running through ex press trains as it does, equipped with palace sleeping cars, superb day coaches and dining cars, where the finest meals can be had, it af fords all the comfort, safety and convenience the traveller or settler could desire. Your correspondent has never travelled over a rail way so extended in its proportions where the careful and attentive management of the heads of departments had impressed itself so thoroughly upon all the subordinate officials and employes of the company, rendering them very attentive to all the wishes and wants of iu patrons.

Mr. Miller laid down hi, case in an emphatic manner, and said he had fed hi, hone over 70 bushel, of grain, at the rate of nine quart, a day; that the beast could eat hay as well as a colt. He was ready to bet that the horse could take the judge over the road a, fast a, he wanted to go, and the animal would not require “licking.” He attributed the lame ness to the fact that the horse had stepped on a rolling stone and wrenched his spavin. The judge fined the man $5, but he talked so earnestly that he was allow ed to depart with out paying the fine.

The new ship building at Rockport will be launched in about three weeks. She is a four master and 2684 feet is her length of keel. From knighthead to la (Trail she measures about 290 feet, and her tonsge is somewhere in the vicinity of 2,600 tons. With a beam of 44 feet, 9 inches, and a depth of 28 feet, 6 inches, she is a monster. One should stand on the stern and look up and down her slant ing deck to realize how large she is. Few engines could play from her stem to her bow Few boya could throw a ball from her knigbtheada to her wheelhouse. Between decks could be utilized for a skating rink, and would be found roomy enough for a game of polo. The after cabin is fifty feet long, while the forward cabin is sixty feet. Either of them would make a good hotel. In the hold iron bolts and immense timbers give one some idea of the great strength of the struc ture. This vessel is the largest sailing craft ever built on this continent with the excep tion of the Great Republic, which was of greater tonnage, but very little larger. Carlton, Norwood Co. are the builders. She will cost about 9140,000. The River Driver. Dangerous and laborious, the calling of the river driver may be, but the excitement, the swing, the adventure of the life, give it a charm for a tough, steel nerved man. He may have passed his youth on the bank of a Maine river and many a spring has seen the lumbermen frolicking among the slippery logs with pike poles, pushing through the water in a swift batteau and telling smoky yarns around the embers of the camp fire. His father may have been a driver and taught him to drive caulks into his boot soles and tread on rolling, treacherous sticks with as much ease and confidence as you walk on a street pavement. There are men on the drives whom you could not hire to do any thing but work in the woods during the win ter and on the rivers in the summer. The river driver is compensated for his hardships and risks by good wages and four meals a day. His pay has declined with all other values, but a good man on a drive now gets 82 50 a day and works seven days in a week. In flush days,wages were up to $3.50 or 84. Tarn the Rascals Out. A Washington special to the Boston Herald says: A Maine delegation, consisting of George F. Foster, R. W. Johnson, S. C. An drews and S. I). Andrews, were there. The Maine men are trying to find out the cause of the summary revocation of the appoint ment of Alexander,!. Cameron of Augusta as inspector of customs at Aspinw'all. He was commissioned last week, and when he went to get his orders this week, was told that his commission had been revoked. He natural ly attributes it to a special despatch to the New York Tribune, which stated that he had been in a penitentiary and had o her unpleasant facts in his record. Mr. Cameron was an ap plicant for a position in the bindery at the government printing office, which he could not obtain. He was backed up by E. F. Pillsbury, and now he fears that Pillsbury's influence was not very good for him. The Cox delegation took up a good deal of the President's time, although he disposed of them as summarily as he could. Business Hot Ire.

Bnrrill, agent of the Farnsworth Company, of Lisboa, was assaulted by Charles Bickford, and was left Unconscious, and received bad cuts about hit face. Mr. BarriU’s injuries will not prove serious.

Afterward they went to Pembroke and stole another horse and wagon, drove it to Whiting, and left it On Sunday Deputy Sheriff Pettingill of Pembroke, with a posse of six men, went to the house of Charles Wheeler in Whiting, where it was reported Knight and Parker were secreted. Two men were found there, but neither the sheriff nor any of his aids knew Knight or Parker, and while the sheriff was talking with Parker, who gave his name as Brown, it was reported that Knight had gone out of a back window. The sheriff went in pursuit of Knight and Parker started at the same time and soon joined Knight. When a little distance away from his would be captors, Knight raised a gun and Parker a pistol, and told them to come on. They did not go on and the pair escaped. Yohk.

w w^ urwrm iiuTiauna. Probably bo man ia better known ot 1 ••ere highly respected than Mr. Julian 81 Carr, President of the Blackwell’* Dor ham Tobacco Co., of Durham, N. C. It every tobacco store in the United States and in many foreign countries, BlackwelTi Durham Tobacco ia sold, and it ia a well known fact that the sales of this Company largely exceed those of any other tobaccr manufacturer. That such success has been obtained ia doe to the energy, integ rity and ability of Mr. Carr, who has so successfully managed the affair* of tlx Company. Such a letter as the following, written by Mr. Carr to a personal friend whose only interest in the matter referral to was a desire to do a friendly act, is cer tainly worthy of careful reading. Durham, N. C, Feb. 5», I8». Mr Dear "Mac”:—I have delayed writing to you, with reference to the Ath lophoroe remedy, until I could hear from s friend of mine, a gentleman of high character, who used Athlophoroe at my suggestion with very great benefit. He is a tobacco manufacturer of high standing. I have waited to hear from him in order that I might use his name officially. I am satisfied, however, that he must be at tin New Orleans Exposition, and my letters have failed to reach him. So I will not delay answering your letter longer. You want to know whether Athlophoroe is really as good as you thought when you s kindly aaot me a couple bottles. I had a •later who was a victim of neuralgia and rheumatism. She Buffered intensely^ and her condition gave her family and mends much concern. Every known remedy was tried,* but without effect. When the bottle* you sent me came, I sent one to my sister and one to my sister-in-law. My sister waa so encouraged from the use of this on* bottle that I put her upon a thorough treatment of Athlophoros. I certainly owe yon and Athlophoroe a great debt of gratitude for the relief the remedy has given her. She has almost completely recovered from rheumatism, so much so that she has stopped the use of Athlophoroe and considers herself well. My swer-in-law, to whom I gave the other bottle, was suffering fearfully with aeuralgia^he had become unconscious from the pain—the Athlophoroe relieved her entirely. 1 gave a bottle of Athlophoro* to an intimate friend who suffered such in tense pain in his head that he looked as if his eyes would start from their sockets, and by ita use ha has been greatly benefited, and tells me that he received each relief from it that he orders it by the box and keeps it at all timesin his house— is fieter without it—can’t afford to be, this is the gentleman to whom I wrote. I wanted to send with this his opinion in his own handwriting, but as 1 stated he must still be at New Orleans. A very worthy colored man, a house carpenter, Jim Whitted by name, lives in the house adjoining “my man of all work.” One morning my man told me that Jim was suffering no intensely from rheuma tism that the neighborhood was disturbed day and night by his cries of agony. Wishing to test Athlophoros before my own eyes on a genuine case of acute rheu matiam, I wrote the Athlophoros Com fany stating Jim’s condition, and oHeen removed. Within thirty hours ufter he began to use Athlophoros, he felt like another per son. These Instances have all come under my personal knowledge. I am very slow to speak of or recommend any medicine, but when n remedy has the virtue and the merit thnt believe Athlophoros has, 1 cannot hesitate to recommend it. I have given you fait*—don’t they answer your question fully? Yonrstruly, J. 8. Carr.

BT HELEN FORREST GRATES. fContinuec from yesterday.) Once more Mary Miller patiently walked back with the poor old crone to the poor house. The matron was infuriated this time. ‘•it ain’t in human natur to stand this, she declared. “I'll put her in the jug.” ••The jug repeated Mary, in surprise. “It’s a room down cellar, where we shut up the troublesome cases,” said the matron. “I can’t stand this running-away business, and I won’t!” The jog, perhaps, proved effscious, for old Miss Abby Danby did not appear again for a week. At the expiration of that period, however, she crept noiselessly in, just at dusk, and seated herself like a silent shadow in the chimney corner. “It is so good to be at home again, said she, rubbing her wrinkled hands. “I somehow teem to get lost of late. Elna than is gone, and Betsey is gone, and I’m left here all alone. Yes, a cup of tea, please—sugar and no milk. They ne^r remember now I like my tea at Tewks town. This is good; and butter on my bread, too! We don't get butter at Tewks town.” Mary burst into tears. “Mother,” said she, “Miss Abby shall not go back to Tewkstown—she shall stay here. Mother, how should I feel if you were wandering friendless and alone through the world “But, my dear”— •■She shall sleep in her oia room oui ui the kitchen,” persisted Mary. -She’!! be no more care than a canary bird. Oh, mother, do consent! She will think then that she is still in her own home. Oh, if you knew how dreary it is at that poor house, with the grass all trampled out, and piles of clam-shells lyijig around the door, and not so much as a dandelion or a daisy to be seen Mrs. Miller yielded to Mary’s tearful solicitations. -Do as you please, my child,” said she. The Tewkstown authorities were but too glad to be rid of the poor old incum bus; and Miss Abby Dabney settled down into her old home, as contentedly and un questioningly as if she had never left it. She ate and drank but little; she talked still less, and seemed to regard Mrs. Miller and Mary as guests, who had come to visit the old farm. -The Widow Miller and her darter must be rich folks to undertake to support old Miss Abby,” sneered one neighbor. She was well enough provided tor at the poor-house,” said another. “I never vet saw a farm succeed that was worked’ by women-folks,” jeered a third. "There’ll be the biggest kind of a smash up, presently,” observed number lour. -And an auction sale of everything; and I’ll be on hand—for 1 don’t deny that them little Aldernay cows is the cunning est creelurs I ever set eyes on, and good milkers into the bargain.” But time wore on"i and there was no flutter of any red flag over the porch. On the contrary, matters throve, and Mary Miller declared joyously, that farming was a great deal more profitable business than working in the factory, and she only wished that she had found it out before. One gray, autumnal evening, Mary and her mother came back from a brisk walk to the village, and found a stalwart, sun browned man sitting opposite to Miss Ab by. by the red glow of the fire. The old woman rose up in an odd, un certain way. "Ladies,” she said, fumbling in her old snuff box, “this is ray nephew, Cyrus Dabney—be as ran away from home twenty-nine years ago come Michaelmas Day, and we all supposed dead. Cyrus, these are the ladies who are so good as to visit me here. I don’t quite recollect their names but then, my memory ain't as good as it used to be; and, after all, it don’t matter much. Nothing matters much nowadays!” And Miss Abby sat down and fell into a “daze” again, as if all necessity for con versational effort were over. Cyrus Dabney stood up—a bronzed, bearded giant, with dark eyes and superb stature. “Ladies, I beg your pardon he said. “But I s’posed when I came here I was coming home. I knew nothing of ali these charges. I never could have dreamed that my cousins would let this old creature go to—the town poor-house. I don’t know who you are, ladies,” with a husky rattle in his throat, “but I thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, for giving her a shelter in her old age.l And if money will pay you for it”— -It will not!” said Mary sharply, as if the words conveyed a slur. “No, I s’posed not,” said Cyrus, with a sigh. “But I’ve plenty of money now. The dear old aunty shall live like a queen all the rest of her days, for she was good to me when all the rest set me down for a black sheep. I’ve made my fortune out in Panama, and I’ve come home to redeem myself.” •‘1 have heard of Cyrus Dabney,” said Mrs. Miller, gently. “And I'll venture, ma'am, you heard no srood ol me,” said the young giant, with a short laugh. “I’ll not deny that I was a wild boy enough, but there wasn’t any actual evil in me. let folks say wnat thev would. And now I’ve come back a rich man, and there's nobody to bid me wel come home, except old Aunt Abby, out of the poor-house.” He could not long have made this state ment, however. AH the town was up to bid the rich government contractor wel come to Tewkstown, within 24 hours. Human nature is human nature every where. But Cyrus Dabney cared little for the friendly overtures of the old neighbors. Aunt Abby was the only person lor whom he seemed to care, and bis greatest grief was that the old woman refused to leave the old Dabney farm-house to live in the stately brick mansion which he built on Prospect Hill. And then he asked per mission to deck her little bed-room with the curiosities he had brought her from the isthmus, and in taking up draperies and arranging shells and old silver coins, he and Mary unconsciously became trends. Friends, She never knew that it was anything else, until one day old annt Abby took a strange idea Into ner bead. Mary, holding a nch oriental oord tor Cyrns Dabney to loop into knots for plctnre frames, heard her Introduce Mrs. Miller to a neighbor as “my guest, Mrs. Miller, the mother of the young lady my nephew Cyrus is going to marry.” Cyras looked at Mary. Mary dropped the ball ot oord and turned crimson. “Mary!” he amid, piteously, “say that it shall be so. For I love you! And yon were good to old aunt Abby whon all the world tamed against her.* I sometimes think, Mary that yon must be like one of the angels!” And this was how they became engaged. They still live in the old farm-noaae, LUXURY. of all preparation* fortoUetnre. lt the tendency to bahlneee, la agreeab 7 all diseases of tbe hair or scalp.
