After a severe attack of disease, it does jot matter of what type, the constitution is left in an enfeebled and enervated condition the patient FEELS DE PRESSED AND LAN QUID. The least attempt at exercise tires him and produces unaccustomed pains and aches. THE BEASON for this is that the tissues—the muscles—have been wasted by disease. The glands and] organs have be come weakened from disease and medication. The stomach is not in a condition to assimi lste the food that the system requires to build Hup. WHAT IS NEEDED at this time is »reliable stomach and system tonic. Years of experience, and hundreds of thousands of esses, have demonstrated that no*remedy known to medical science equals DR. R. C. FLOWER’S LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE as a tonic at such times. It invigorates and TONES UP THE STOMACH, enabling it to perform its important part in the process of digestion it corrects and regulates the action of the liver »t a time when it is so apt to be deranged; it quickens the secreting power of the kidneys, enabling them to eliminate the poisons and waste matter from the system, and lastly IT acts as a general tonic, giving new life and vigor to THE TIRED BODY AND BKAIN. wThero is no other medicine on earth that combines all these valua ble qualities. The testimony of thousands is. that “after taking vour Sanative for a short time I feel like a new personand but very recently we are in receipt of a large number of letters from grateful friend-, who, after speaking of a late illness, -assy they “NEVER FOUND A TONIC SO VALUA BLE IN CONVALESCENCE AS l'OUK LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE, AND TRUST THAT SOON EVERY SUFFERER MAY KNOW OF ITS WONDERFUL VIRTUES.” This medicine is prepared by the Flower Medicine Co., Boston, ami is kept for sale by all druggists. limhle pamphlet Kent free on ap* plication. apr29d&wly-nr WE ALONE Dare Make the Following Lib eral Offer.

Some of the French conservative papers in ttie vicinity of Montreal are urging the gov ernment to take steps to assert Canada’s claim to the state of Maine, which they allege is a just one. This movement is, of course, start ed to withdraw the attention of the people from the Kiel affair, and to allow French members of Parliament to return to their former allegiance without compromising themselves with their constituents. The French press of Montreal has fallen into the trap and is gravely debating whether the American government would be willing to accept compensation in money for the terri tory Canada would receive by the rectification of the frontier. Strike Among Shoemakers. Boston, Nov. 30. Kimball Bros., Lynn shoe manufacturers, removed a portion of their business to (Jar diner, Me., some time since.

Negro and White Miners Engage in a Promiscuous Fight in a Missouri Town Two Men Killed. St. Louis. Nov. 20. News has reached the city from Bevier, a mining town in Macon county, of a serious riot that took place there, Saturday night, be tween white and black miners which resulted in the killing of two men and the serious in jury of several others. The miners struck some time ago when the owners ot the mine procured a lot of negroes and put them to work. Since then there have been frequent disturbances and the negroes were provided with a regular stockade to protect them from assault from strikers The trouble Saturday commenced at 4.30 P. M., when the negro drivers were returning with their mules from the mines to the stable. As the drivers passed near the railroad depot a crowd of about 75 white miners who were standing on the depot platform, commented to throw rocks and fol lowed them up the street for several blocks. The negroes then tried to turn their mules and drive them back to the mines. When in front of Watson’s store some person fired a revolver and in a few minutes afterward a volley of bullets was fired at the black driv ers. An eye witness states that not less than fifty persona had revolvers The drivers had then returned almost to the mine when one of them fell from his mule. He was carried into Thomas Jones' house where it was found that he was shot in the side and in a few min utes he was dead. By this time the other drivers had reached the stockade, secured their rifles and commenced firing at the whites. For nearly half an hour this prom iscuous shooting was carried on. the number of whites having in the meantime greatly in creased. One of them. John Martin, was struck by a bullet from the stockade and in stantly killed. The ball passed through his chest. Several negroes were also wounded. During all this time it seems that the author ities made no effort to check the riot. Two deputy sheriffs and the town marshals were present and it is even stated that they took part in the trouble. •5000 Stolen. Little Rock, Ark., Nor. 30. At Hope.

Accounts of tiie use of oil to diminish the violence of breaking seas embrace statements forwarded by the secretary of the marine board of South Australia, each being a nrief narrative of the experience of its writer. The following by W. G. Whitmore, pilot of the Adelaide, is a fair example: “The first time I saw the soothing effect of oil on the sea was in the year of 1848,when serving my lime in a whal ing sh'p in Davis Straits. I have there seen a large ship lying to in a gale ol wind cutting up wtiale alongside, and the sea for a circle of many miles was quite smooth, caused by oil from the whale. My next experience w as in 1883. I commanded a ship bound from Newcastle to Melbourne; when off Sydney Head I encountered a terrific gale, followed by a tremendons sea. My ship was making a great deal of water and I found it necessary to run for a habor ot safety. After getting the ship before the wind, the heavy sea tuat was running sometimes broke over our stern to the danger of the ship and crew, I then tried oil, but my manner of using it in the first place was wasteful and of no effect, as 1 tried it with a bottle and jerked it out through a hole in the cork, but I found it would blow about the stern of the ship and not in the sea. 1 then tried an oil hag. putting about half a gallon in a bag, tying the neck tight and low ering it behind the ship. After a short time the effect was wonderful, for what was a very heavy running and dangerous sea. was re duced by use of oil into what seamen would call blind rollers, quite harmless to a ship.” In the Supreme Court of the United States today Attorney General Garland announced the death of Vice President Hendricks in the following words Mav it please the court— Since the adjournment of this court last Wed nesday the heart of the nation has been sorely touched by the death of Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks. This is not the proper occasion to pronounce a eulogy upon the useful life and splendid character of Hendricks, but he has been so long conspic uous in public service, has filled thoroughly and admirably so many places of high trust, including the second in rank in the gift of tlie people and lias been a prominet member of this bar for so many years I deem it be coming and proper to request the court to lay aside its docket and pause before this sad event that now overshadows the whole coun try. and out of respect for the memory of this good and faithful servant to cease its labors till after the last funeral rites are per formed tomorrow, and I, therefore, suggest the court do now adjourn until Thursday. The chief justice responded as follows. The court heartily concurs in your remarks, Mr. Attorney General, and in the suggestion which you make. Justices Matthews and Blatchford are now on the way to represent the court at the funeral in Indianapolis to morrow. and as a further mark ol respect to the memory of the deceased we will now adjourn until Thursday next. Adjourned. Secretaries Bayard, Whitney, Gndicott, Lamar and Postmaster General Vilas left for Indianapolis, to attend the funeral of Vice President Hendricks, on a special train at 10 o'clock this evening. The entire train will run through to Indianapolis and will make very few stops. THE VICE PK ESI DENT’S DEATH. The Chicago Court* Adjourn Till Wed. oe.day—An Interview With Senator Logan.

I have not asked, nor have 1 made any effort to obtain the position.” “But you would take it if elected.” added the friend, to which the senator made no re ply. “There will probable be nothing done till after the holidays," said the General. “We have a caucus Friday and the matter will be talked over.

LYING IN STATE. Ike Body ol tke Late Vice President at the Court House-Pa klic Buildings and Dwellings in tke City Protnsely Draped ia Roaraiag—A Multitude of People Pressing tke Entrance of tke Edifice to View tke Reaaias ol tke Dead Statesman. Indianapolis, Not. 30. All trains coming into the city this morning were crowded. Several of the roads were com pelled to run extra trains to accomdate the people who desired to come to the capital and attend the funeral of Vice President Hen dricks. Arrangements for handling the crowd were much more complete and satifactory to day than yesterday. There was a steady and undiminished stream of humanitv pouring through the building all day. The doors were opened at 7 this morning and from that time up to noon the crowd passed through at the rate of 75 a minute. Probably 25,000 per sons viewing the remains up to 1 o’clock. The greater part of these were from outside the city, although all schools, offices, manufac tories and nearly all business houses in the city have been closed all day. Hon. David Davis of Illinois, who was expected to arrive here to-day to deliver the address at the bar meeting, telegraphed on account of the death of a relative at Springfield be will be unable to attend. Mrs. Hendricks remained quietly at home this morning, seeing but few callers. A com mittee of ladies have elaborately draped the family residence with white crape, smilax and flowers. At a meeting of the State Bar Assoclattion this afternoon, Hon. Walter J. Gresham of Chicago presided. Judge David S. Zurpee presented a lengthy memorial and brief eulogistic addresses were made by prominent members of the State bar. During the afternoon there were evidences at hand in every direction of preparations for the ceremonies of tomorrow. Crowds began tojgrow denser in the business portion of the city and hotels took on a crowded appear ance. On residence streets finishing touches were given to the mourning decorations. The work of draping having been practically con cluded, Washington street, the main business thoroughfare, presented a sable appearance, no structure appearing without its drapery of black, relieved occasionally by intermingling of white. The face of the dead Vice Presi dent met one everywhere. This street lead to the portals of the court house, where the dead statesmen lay exposed to view, and a surging and ever increasing throng was to he met at any point along its entire length, but grew more dense when approaching that edi fice. Here the military and police were called into requisition to keep the mass mov ing and prevent a blockade. When the great doors of the building were ordered closed this afternoon, a waiting crowd of thousands stood in line trying to take a last glance at the face of the dead but were unable to do so. After 1.30, the pressure of the crowd to view the remains became greater. A line was formed in the street extending back two squares from the entrance, and the guards were increased in order to prevent the accu mulation of the crowd. It was estimated that about 40,000 people viewed the body during the day. At 4.10 the doors were closed. In a ijuar ter of an hour the marshal and his assistants and representatiues marched to the court house. The casket was home through the south entrance to the street, where it was placed in a hearse and escorted by four Indi ana companies, and it was returned to the parlor of the homestead. All along the line of march people flocked to see the sad spec tacle. Until it is removed to the church to morrow, the body will be at rest beneath the roof where its last living hours were spent, and will be surrounded by tokens of nflection and sympathy placed there by friends today. Committee on reception and arrangements concluded all the matters of detail this after noon. One thousand tickets have been issued for admittance to St. Paul's Episcopal church, where the services will be conducted. In the funeral procession there will be sev enteen carriages for the exclusive use of the relatives and intimate private friends. These will follow the hearse from the family resi dence to the church. The remains will reach the church promptly at 12 o'clock. The line of march to Crown Hill cemetery, where the remains are to he interred, is fully five miles, and owing to the length of the procession any delay in its movement might necessitate the performance of the concluding rites at the grave, after the shadows of afternoon had begun to fall, and owing to this fact the committees have sought to insure promptness in all movements. At midnight the sky is overcast, and the probability of rain tomorrow is strong. The hotels have received large additions, espe iallv from points in Indiana and Illinois. Ex President Hayes has arrived. MAJ. UEN. SHAKER Arrested for Alleged Bribery in the Pur chase ol Armory Site»-.Hr. Wilson's Testimony. New York, Nov. 30.

St Petersburg, Nov. 30 Russian newspapers in discussing affairs in the Balkans appear anxious about the situa tion, and consider the attitude of Austria tantamount to openlv siding with Servia.

If he is captured the sentence ol death already passed upon him for participation in former murders will be executed immediately. The manifesto of Don Carlos promising to confirm to the Spaniards all the present civil and religious liberties is considered a direct bid for the throne, and is also interpreted as a prelude to a proposal of marriage of Don Carlos' son and the Princess of the Austurias, the late king’s eldest daughter. In the event ot no heir to the throne being born both car lists and monarchists would welcome such a settlement with acclamation, as it would end a fifty year conflict and enable Spain to as sume her appropriate position among the powers of Europe Paris, Nov. 30.

gaity §vmbtt |«tmiaL Annate, Tuesday Honing, Dec. 1. t Tbe last rite will be performed over tbe remains of Mr. Hendricks to-dav. Tbe Minneapolis elevators contain to day 7,000,000 bushels of wheat—all they can bold—and over a thousand car loads more are awaiting storage. Bread will not be very dear this winter. Of tbe four contested seat cases which will come before the House of Repre sentatives. three will be contests by dem ocrats ior seats occupied by republicans, and the fourth will be a contest by a re publican for tbe seat ot democratic-green back Weaver of Iowa. Onlv a little while ago the democ racy was calling for tbe abolition of national banks as a cruel and grasping monopoly. Now the comptroller of the currency under a democratic administra tion reports that the best interests of the country demand the continuance of the system. We have authority for saying that Mr. C. F. Nirdlinger, a reporter of the New York World, makes a totally unfounded statement in that paper of Friday last He never exchanged a word with any member of Mr. Maine'* family, and never saw any one under Mr. Blaine’s roof, except the servants who admitted him and held the door oi»en for his departure. The Washington Sentinel, a simon pure democratic paper, urges that all the gov ernment officials who have spoken in Georgia in favor of prohibition should be removed. It seems to regard this as the worst form of offensive partisanship, and says that Georgia has gone naek on the democratic party, and "has repudiated the President, who declared against sump tuary laws.” The democrats of Ohio are using every means to defeat the re-election of John Sherman to the senate. They attempted to gain the legislature bv fraud, but the circuit court at Cincinnati, before whom was presented the frauds perpetrated in the recent canvaas, sustained the case of the republicans and a fair ballot and count. The democrats have now made an appeal to the Supreme Court, which will be democratic a month longer, and hope to find it s subservient to the demands of partisanship that it will sanction the demo cratic frauds committed and give to that party the control ot the Senate. The democratic party. North and South has no regard for lair elections and will up hold frauds upon suffrage in Maine or Ohio as well as in South Carolina or Vir ginia. Its hopes all rest upon defrauding the ballot box. The democratic papers sustain tho count-out. career of Cap’n Chase of Port land, whose name will come before the Senate tor confirmation or rejection as Collector of Internal Revenue, by claiming that the election of Plaisted as Governor in 1880, was a clear endorsement ol the act of Garcelon and his Council—ol whom Chase wus one—in their efforts to defeat the will ot the people as expressed at the [lolls in 18711. To secure Chase's confirm ation they load this giant infamy upon the democratic party and all who voted for Plaisted. Well, suppose tho democratic party did endorsu it. is that any reason why the republican senators at Washing ton should endorse it also by voting to confirm Cap’n Chase? The asking of tiiis question suggests only one answer—NO! The outrage is no less because it was en dorsed by the democratic party, nor does that endorsement lessen the duty of repub lican senators to oppose every agent of this conspiracy against the sovereign will of the people as declared at the ballot-box, when their names are presented before them for confirmation to any important office. The Maine senators know thoroughly the history of the Garcelon count-out; they can be trusted to do their whole duty in opposing the confirmation of such men as Chase and Pillsbury. [Bangor Whig and Courier.] More Reform. One by one the Oarcelon conspirators are being provided for The latest to receive a “vindication” at the hands ot this “reform” administration, it B. Emery Pratt, who has just been appointed postmaster at Phillips. Pratt was one of the enthusiastic workers in the plot to count out the duly elected repub lican members of the legislature, his inter est to the nefarious attempt being shown by the following letters written by him to the Governor and Council: OFFICE OF B. Kmkrv Pratt, Counsellor and Attorney at Law aud Notary Public, No. 2) Broadway, (Up Stairs Farmixgvox, M k., Nov. 15, 187». Hon.

Kmkrv Pratt. There are n few more of the oonspiratorc unprovided for. Let the work of reform proceed. _ Ex-Senator Simon Cntneron is bright and lively, end laughs at the idea of being con sidered an old man. He has for many years been shaved daily, when at home, by a clever Irish barber named “Dick” Connelly. Tbe General, says The Philadelphia Press, is very fond of Dick, and not only delights to joke with him, but gives him the benefit of many a reminiscence that nobody else has ever heard. The other day while'Dick was flourishing a razor in bis most artistic style about the old man's chin he said to the Gen eral “Gineral, Oi hope Oi’ll be here to shave ye when ye’re a hundred years old.” “I hope you will,” replied the General cheer ily. “And I’ll tell you what I’ll do, Dick: If you (have me when I’m a hundred yean old I’ll make you a present of the handsomest horse and carriage that money can buy. But you must sgree to share me every day in the meantime.” “But what if Oi become a millionaire and get elected to Congress!” “That doesn’t make any difference. You will hare to get your barber tools together, sacrifice your constituents,and come to share me.” -But, Gineral, what if Oi die!” “You must share me, dead or alire. If you don’t you won’t get the carriage and hone. It it a contract!” “Done, Gineral; Oi'll go rez,” decided Dick, and the old statesman and his barber shook hands warmly. “Bedad, Oi’ll get the carriage,” exultantly remarked Dick afterward; “that is, if the good Lord spares me.” _ Peter Donohue, one of the Forty-niners and for many yean a prominent figure in railroad and financial circles on the Pacific coast,died at his residence in San Francisco Thursday night. Mr. Donohue established the first iron works operated in San Francisco, and was closely identified with the growth of the cily. At the time of hie death he was Presi dent of the San Francisco and North Pacific and Sonoma Valley Railroads and of the San Francisco Gaslight Company A cat blew up a house in Illinois the other day. At least it is supposed she did., ,She was left alone in the dwelling, and as an ex plosion soon after occurred, the theory ac cepted is that she pushed a can of nitre-gly cerine from a table where it had carelessly been put The cat herself was found banging in a tree 500 yards away, nervous but almost uninjured.— Exchange. December Magazines. The portrait of Helen Jackson (“H. H.”) which forms the frontispiece to The Century Magazine for December, is a masterpiece of wood engraving and fine printing. Every line seems to be perfection and the counte nance beams with a smile marvellously life like. In all its illustrations this number is remarkably fine, and may safelv challenge comparison in this respect with any other il lustrated publication with which we are ac quainted. The articles, prose and poetry, are exceptionally interesting and instructive. The best writers in the land are represented bv their works in the pages of The Century The article entitled “An American Lordship” by George Parsons Lathrop, an account of the Gardiners and their estate upon Gar diner’s Island, being suggestive of a locality and family not far from this city, will espec ially attract attention. There is not a dull article in the number These December days will be rendered brighter wherever The Cen tury goes. With the December issue the Magazine of American History closes its fourteenth vol ume. Its contributions for December are all spirited, timely and readable. The num ber opens with A. W. Clason’s exposition of the part taken by Massachusetts (1788) in the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. The second article, “The Brooklyn House of Philip Livingston, the Signer [His toric Hemes], i: by the Editor, ar.d furnishes for the first time a picture of the interesting old mansion. “Thanksgiving Day, Past and Present,” by Col. Norton, is a bright.Jinsfruc tive paper. "A Chapter of the Mexican War,” is from the pen of General E. Parker Scammon, the tutor of General Grant at West Point. General (“Baldv”) Smith’s third paper on the “Campaign of 1861-1862 in Kentucky" brings together the scattered facts, and affords a clear view of that field of military operations. His paper on Fort Donelson will appear in the Janua ry number "How we Kan the Viksburg Batteries,” is a sketch of an exciting war scene, by W. S Ward. A fine portrait of General George B. McClellan (the froniis piece) is accompanied by a tribute to his memory from the Editor. Among the short articles, “The Fight at Faval,” a poem, by Charles K Bolton “Niagara Falls, by Hon. Luther K. Marsh: “The Capture of Wash ington in 1814," illustrated; and “Senator Anthony’s Gift to Brown University,” by Kev. J. C. Stockbridge, are highly entertain ing. The minor departments are well filled.

The Eclectic for December closes the Forty-second volume of this sterling publica tion. The present number presents its read ers the choicest and latest articles found in the best publications of the United Kingdom, upon the most prufiuind as well as interesting subjects which employ the best minds in that country. The Eclectic occupies a peculiar field as a magazine and fills it admirably. Lay thy sweet hands in mine,” he said, but she only remarked that she had neuralgia and must hold her head.

As the season advances, the pains and aches by which rheumatism makes itself known,are experienced alter every exposure.

Never before have the directors made so much improvement as has been going on the present fall. A nice two story dining hall has been built and the outside finished. It is a want long felt, but the finances of the association have never warranted the directors in build ing. The upper story will contain several nice rooms for the accommodation of stran gers who come from a long distance to attend the meetings. They will be neatly furnished and easy of access. Near this building a cook house has been built —not connected—and no heat or odor from the cooking can reach the rooms. It is a well appointed arrangement, and the di rectors deserve the thanks, at least, of the stockholders. Mr. Brann.the superintendent, will have the inside in order by spring. The debt will be very small. A large majority of the stockholders have given their interests to the fund, which has helped very much tow ard paving the bills.

A man who was picked out of the ditch three weeks ago signed the pledge, and at this meeting asked for prayers and expressed a wish to become a ’Christian.

IH» DICAT QT THK HEX WWW. Those who here traveled through the hill country of New England an* often have been struck by the sight of a white church standing almost alone upon a summit of the great ridge. Once it wac the meeting place of some flourishing vil lage, but when the railroads came, mak ing their way through the rough forbid ding country by following the water courses closely the villagers descended into the valleys, built up towns along the great highways of travel and left the old church to mourn over ita lost glories hnd to struggle along weakly until it too had to succumb to the new order of things. The clergy who built up these pillars of orthodoxy were strong and earnest men, and those who have succeeded them are not less so. Their lives are marked by self-sacrifice and severe work. Their la bors are carried on under many difficul ties and hardships, and it is not surpris ing that many suffer from rheumatism and neuralgia. That many of them have found a cur^ however, for these diseases may be seen from these letters. Rev. A. S. Cooper, of Williaton, Vt., says: “Twelve hours’ use of Atblophoroe greatly remover! the pain from my sys tem and rendered the muscles so supple that I could get up and down with ease, which I have not done for a long time. I called yesterday on a gentleman who got a bottle from me and who I expec ted would send for more through me, but I found be had got the start of me and ordered for himself, having been much benefited by it.” Henry L. Hall, editor of H'illimnnlir (Ct.) Journal, who is well and favorably known for miles around, says: “ThredMose# of Athlophoros relieved me from a very acute attack of inflamma tory rheumatism in nine hours. I con sider it an invaluable remedy in rheu matic affections, and esteem it a pleasure to recommend Athlophoros.” Mr. J. B. Webster, who is the carpenter for (he Willimantic I.inen (,'o., of Willi mantic, Conn., and is well-known and much respected in that neighborhood, savs: For three months I suffered with inflammatory rheumatism, and failed to receive any relief from anv of the numer ous remedies for that complaint until 1 took Athlophoros, which entirely cured me.” Rev. S. Donaldson, of Lyndon, Yt„ writes: “The bottle of Athlophoros helped my wife greatly. She had up to the time of taking it been a great sufferer from neu ralgia and rheumatic difficulties, making it almost impossible for her to walk with any case. These difficulties have been about her more or less for fourteen years. Since taking the medicine she has been comparatively free from pain and is able to walk better than before for several years.” Rev. Charles E.

There were two other ladies at the table with me—a mother and daughter—wealthy people, as I supposed; and the girl was the most exquisitely pretty creature I had ever seen. She was so tall, so slim, so round, with such a fair, frank brow, such shining brown eyes,almost startling dark, with her bright hair and her fair complex ion such a sweet mouth, such dimples, my heart seemed to go out to her at once. And she was so charmed with everything, and so fall of bright chatter. Her mother was a great contrast; she was a little, plaintive, aggrieved-looking person—one of those people who, I think, take a kind of pleasure in being unhappy. And there was an odd-looking man—a very odd-looking man somehow—tall.and largely made, with a rugged, fair face, very widely-open blue eyes, and a fine bead, held very high. Somehow he was not like the usual run of our visitors, and strangest of all, he brought in a dog with him—a handsome pug, if any pug can be called handsome—who preceded his mas ter up the room.his'wrinkled nose sniffing the air and his crooked eyes looking in every corner. I looked at my pretty girl. Her face was all dimpled and flushed. The dear little doggie. Do let me hold him for a little while; lam so fond of dogs.” Hef mother moved uneasily and pro tested feebly— ‘‘Alice, dear.” The stranger turned and looked at her. ‘‘Thank yi u so much,” he said. "Do you really like dogs? Most ladies are afraid o! Jack.”

“Some day, some day, some day we shall meet.” Miss Verinder sang. 1 re member just how she looked I could not wonder at the passionate admiration in the young man’s eyes. Old woman as I was, I found her a pleasant sight. “A sweet voice and a sweet face,” said some one beside me. It was our neighbor at dinner. He had come sottly across the room, holding his dog’s leash. He stood a moment by me, and then he sat down behind the piano, took his dog on his lap anil threw hack his great head, listening with evident enjoyment to the music. I thought again what a strange-looking man he was. Miss Verinder finished her song, and turned around with all the pret ty light on her face. lie crossed over then and thanked her, while the young men looked rather superciliously at him. “i felt sure you had a singing face.” ne said. “Are you well oft' tor music here?” “Not very,” she told him and then she asked him if he played. “Yes,” he said. “It is almost the only solace I have.” He paused a moment, and then went on in such a low, hopeless kind of voice. 1 am almost blind.” “Oh I am so sorry.” Poor man 1 I thought it ought to be a kind of compensation to see the sweet tenderness ol the hrigat young face, to hear the soft pity ot her voice. He said something—I did not catch what it was— and then sat down to the piano. I’lay. i should say he did play. Never had there been such music brought out of our piano. A great hush fell upon the room. Kvcn those who did not care for music for its own sake, were silent from astonishment. As to Mr. (lorst himself, the music seemed to transform him. He shook back his hair, and his grave, plain face brightened up. "Jack,” sitting at his feet, kept his eyes steadily fixed upon him, as it he under stood it all; and as for Miss Verinder. the pretty color grew brighter in her cheeks, and her eyes shone. She was passionately fond of music “Odd man 1 Don’t you think so verv,” whispered Mrs Colquhon—the greatest gossip in the house—to me. "Not a gen tleman. decidedly; actor. I should think; professional, certainly. Dreadtul flirt that girl is to be sure. Do you admire her No, surely not.” I held up my head to silence her. I did not like Mrs. Colquhon. I knew her mis chief making tongue of old. ami I caught a flash from Miss Alice Verinder’s soft eyes. Mr. Gorst was going to sing for us. As he played the first barsof “The Message,” Jack gave a kind of strangled howl. "He is wonderfully fond of singing,” his master exclaimed with pride. Clearly. I thought, he was a thorough old bachelor, and this dog was wife and child to him. Well, I have heard many fine voices, but never one I think, like' Mr. Gorst’s. As The Message” rang out I felt my heart stirred within me. A great hush fell upon the room as he finished. One could well believe that such a voice would "pass through the golden gate.” 1 saw a strange, moved expres sion come over Mr. Hardynge’s face, the quiet old bachelor 1 have mentioned be fore; ami as for Miss Verinder, I did not like to look at her, I knew there were tears in tne nrignr, young eves. Anti utter The Message he gave us For ever and Forever, and The Distant Shore. He would have sung all night. 1 think, if the loud elang of ihe tea bell had not sounded out, bringing us all back to the world around us. He dropped his hands from the keys quite startled. “Oh!” it's only the tea bell. Are we expected to eat again But I have inflict ed myself upon you.” “1 could listen forever.” said the girl, with that soil, lovely light still upon her face. 1 am a foolish old woman, I know but 1 caught myself hoping he was not too blind to see it. “Miss Verinder, will you not let me get you some tea broke in the Cambridge tuan, Mr. Hoare, as I found out his name was. Ho had been watching the changes in the girl’s face all through the singing. Well, he was old enough to be her father, and he was almost blind, and was grave and odd looking beside, while she was the sweetest, freshest bit ot maiden hood. Young even for her twenty years. And yet, somehow, those two. Mr. Gorst and Alice Verinder, were drawn to each each other that very first night, 1 think. Perhaps it was Jack, perhaps it was the music, or that child's sweet, womanly heart was moved to pity the lonely, afflict ed man. She was so watchful of him at meal times. She would try in her pretty way to interest him. to drive the shadows from his face, would pay him such sweet deference. He was always quiet, always silent and reserved. It did not seem to me he took notice of what would have raised a vouug man to the seventh heaven of happiness. 1 came on them one morn ing out amongst the flowers—he walking up and down slowly and carefully, as an almost blind man does, she springing out in her joyous way, fresh as the morning itself, in a dark blue gown all ruffled with embroidery, a wide hat shielding her sweet face, the sunlight on the mass of crisp hair beneath. They said “Good morning" to each other, and then she spoke to the dog. Between her two admirers. Miss Venn der ought to have acquired much useful information daring that sweet summer holiday. Young Hoare took possession of her at once. I heard the blithe laugh as she answered some remark ot his. They made a handsome oonple, 1 thought; she so fair and slim, he so tall and dark and broad-shouldered, and both with that wonderful light of yonth on their faces. “He is a handsome fellow,” Mr. Gorst said, and 1 knew be had divined my thought; he was wonderfully sharp, for all his blindness. I scarcely knew how long I had been writing. It was a letter to a dear old triend of mine, and I had for a little while forgotten my surroundings, when Mrs. Colquhon’s wearisome voice forced itself on my attention. She had exhausted her newspaper, and Mrs. Verinder having just come in, she bad a thrilling piece of gossip to untold to her. “Quite shocking, Mrs. Verinder I was so (lightened I could not sleep again. Mr. Gorst, you know, be came down the cor ridor, last night, perfectly drunk, stum bling over everything. He tried to burst into mv room, but fortunately 1 always keep the door locked and be felt about his room, and talked to himselt half the night. Quite shocking, is it not? These professional sort of people are always un steady, and being blind seems to make it so much worse. Really, Mrs. Verinder, don’t you think we ladies ought to take some steps to show what we think of such conduct?” Mrs. Verinder made some feeble sound of horror. I was too petrified to say any thing. If this was a story.it was rather a worse one than usual; if it was true But what was this indignant young fig ure that started up trorn my side “It is not true, mother—I am sure it is not true. Oh! it is a shame to tell such stories of any one Mr. Gorst is a gentle man he would scorn to do such things. Oh. it is cruel! People ought to spare him at least.” The child looked transformed.her cheeks blazing, her brown eves sparkling. “Alice, Alice!” Slid her mother. “It is the injustice of it, mother—that is what I mind.” Mrs. Colquhon was straightening her spectacles and looking at the indignant girl with a malicious smile. I knew what a story she would make of this, and, though I could but admire Alice's generous championship, I felt sor ry she should have drawn this woman’s unscrupulous tongue upon her. She was still standing there, with her tall, young figure drawn up, and her scornful face, and Mrs. Colquhon had just opened her lips for a crushing retort, when behold, standing amongst us Mr. Gorst himself, perfectly calm and unmoved to all outward appearance. Had a thunderbolt fallen amongst us, we could not have been more astonished. Mrs. Colquhon's face flushed crimson, as well it might. Poor, pretty Alice grew snow white, and all the fire went out of her eyes. “I cannot thank you sufficiently, Miss Verinder.” he said, “for taking the trouble to defend me. Pray let me apologize,” he went on then to Mrs. Colquhon, "for having unintentionally heard so much about myself. I was writing letters in the other bay, and had no intention of lis tening when my own name caught my ear. “It is a fulfilment of the old proverb, but I have no doubt you will be greatly pleased to hear you have made a most un fortunate mistake. My room was changed last night; the lamp was not lit; my lug gage was all about in the middle of the floor. In my half or three quarters blind condition, I certainly did stumble a good deal about, and had also to speak a good deal to my dog through the night; he is always restless in strange quarters. As for being drunk I have been a water drinker all mv life. I must express my deep regret for having so disturbed your rest, but I am sure your distress of mind last night must be more than compensated this morning by your relief at finding out I am not such a depraved character as you had feared.”

It was a very narrow path, just room for two people to walk very close togeth er consequently, I suppose, it was the “Lovers’ Walk.” There were seats t intervals, and it had many unexpected turns and twists, twists asit'wouud round the hill. Coming suddenly round one of these sharp corners, wiiat. or rather whom did I see just in front of me. only a few yards away? Alice Verinder and Mr. (iorst! He was holding both her hands in his, and bending over her, the inevitable .Jack sitting beside them, his foolish tongue hanging out. his leash unregarded on the damp ground, an expression on his face as if he would say “This is a nice piece of business.” Well, I take great credit to myself that I neither started nor screamed; luckily neither of them had seen me, and I turned swiftly round the corner, almost ran the whole length home, never stopping for breath until I found myself safe in my own room, where I sat down to think over what I had seen. It was an hour or two later, and I was still silting in my room, but ready dressed for dinner waiting for the bell to ring, when there was a little tap at my door and Alice entered radiant, blushing, hap py. 1 remember just how she looked, in a pretty dress of some pale blue shining stufl'. she always dressed so prettily! with a square cut bodice and elbow sleeves showing her fair round arms, a hunch of white roses in the lace at her bosom. She stood looking at me for a moment, and then she closed the door and crossed the room swiftly, and came and knelt beside me. “I saw you today,” she said sottlv, “and you turned back because you saw— us.” How can I describe the sweet radiant light in her face? I bent down and kissed her. “My dear.” I said to her. “are sure of yourself? Do you really love him?” But there was no need for answer. I could read it in her eyes. ••Oh! Miss Brown. I am so happy, so happv. Do you think,” she saidthen with 8 little wistful trouble in her sweet face, “that I will be able to make him happy, that I can help to make up to him for all his troubles.” “My dear.” I told her, stroking her bright hair, and feeling tears not far trom my foolish old eyes, “You will make him the happiest man in England.” “And only think he is going away, and would never, never have told me, it it was not for today, and that horrid woman. Oh! Miss Brown, 1 am a happy, happv girl.” A Bank may fail, and yet, by wise management, regain its credit. So, also, if wise counsels are followed, the strength and vigor of a failing constitution may be restored. Many cases like the following could be cited: Frank Laprise, Salem «t-, Lowell, Mass., says, tint on account of impure blood, his whole constitution was shaken. After taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla freely for a month, his health was restored, and his original vigor regained. Speculation as to what will cure Dyspepsia, vanishes before the light of such evidence as that furnished by O. T.

John H. Ward, 9 Tildcn st., Lowell,Mass., says: “Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cured me of boils, sores, and itches, which no other remedy could remove. I tried several other so-called sarsaparillas,’ but re ceived no benefit from them.” William II. Mulvin, 122 Northampton st.. Boston. Mass., writes that The Cause of all his sufferings, “enough to kiU a dozen men,” was the failure of his kidneys and liver to properly perform their func tions. He was permanently cured by using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Mrs. George Edwards, Boston Highlands, Mass., was cured of liver and bilious troubles by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Warren Leland, the famous hotel proprietor of New York city, writes: I have person ally used Ayer’s Sar Ayers Sarsaparilla saparilla cured me of Dyspepsia,” writes Evan Joues, Nelson, N. Y. Mrs. A.
