"I am 48 years old and havo always lived in New Portland. I unlisted iu tho army in 18113 us a private in Com pany A, 28th Maine Volunteers. My army experience injuried my health to some extent, although I worked at blackhinitliing some part of tho time, when suddenly, several years ago, I was prostrated with what able physi cians pronounced Locomotor Ataxia. At first I could get around somewhat yet the disease progres-ied quite rapidly until I had hardly any finding in my legs and feet, they felt liko sticks of wood and I grew so much worse that I could not move fur three yearn without hidp, as my neighbors and friends can testify. I employed several physi cians in my vicinity, aud elsewhere, and they all told mo that medicines would not help me, that they could do nothing to effect a euro nud that iu tinio I should become entirely helpless. I became discouraged. I was a great care to my wife and friends. Shortly after I met an old army comrade, Mr. All.

By his earnest recommend ation I was induced to try the pills. After taking them for a time I licgiiu to feel prickly sensations in my legs and a return of strength ho 1 could move them a little. After a few weeks I began to feel a inarlred improvement in niy conditions. I soon was enabled to walk around a little with tho help of crutches. After taking for sumo time I can now walk without crutches, my general health is much improved and I havo regained my old-timo vigor.

The dauntless young lady folded Polly in her ample embrace, kissed her, and in her usual resolute voice proposed then and there that she come out to the Woodlands to dinner. Like a flock of startled bens the Quaker matrons rescued Polly from the wilderness of tulle aud India muslin, the fashiomiblo dress of the time. Miss Rebecca laughed joyously as she re signed ber friend aud walked away, and then poor Polly was taken in band, warned, entreated to avoid the world's people and their-vanities, etc., and reached home npon the whole not dis pleased with the adventure. Before the week was out she had vis ited the Woodlands, had seen the pic tures and wus led in to dinner by a very handsome young gentleman from Vir ginia described by Miss Becky in her curt speech as a "Jimmy Jessamy from the Tidewater, " name Francis Dulnuey. The dress of this gentleman would sur prise a nineteenth century belle, al though it was de regie 100 years ago, A canary waistcoat rigged with flowers in red silk, claret colored coat with deep cuffs, laced steel buttons big ns toy saucers, clurct breeches nnd stock ings, buckled shoes nnd nteeukirk cra vat smartly laced. Very commonplace people looked like stately gentlemen in such apparel, while iu the hideous uni form of todny the Apollo Belvidcre might without discrimination be takeu for the butler or undertaker.

On the road homo the girls had a long talk, aud Polly made up ber mind thut the first a in a girl s life had opened for ber. She had a lover, and, as is always the result, such knowledge gave her, with a sense of responsibility, a new feeling of self confidence and icsiect. It was a fact. Mr. Francis Dulaney was in love with tho beautiful Quaker ess, and Becky Hamilton took charge of the courtship with characteristic energy.

Thus, to mnke this clearer, supposo that after a Ihorongh sifting 100 eligible points re main iu the euvolopo. Every time the sermon is preached those hundred are .verhauled. But no siuglu sermon, by i mere limitation of time, can contain, iny, more than 70.

Later, a small, slim figure, in a scant, homespun dross, faded aud torn, suddenly emergod from a narrow path which opened upon the road, and a childish voice said timidly, 'Do yon want some headache blossom, ma'am?" a little black band holding out a bunch of delicate pink flowers, with perfume more powerful than sweet The acceptance of this o fieri ng seemed to thaw out ber reserve, and the little girl volunteered the information that she and Yankee, her brother, "aimed to dash water to de hog ebery ebenin. " In the days of the old regime the crops were all fenced in, aud the bogs, and cattle as well, were allowed to roam at will through the fastnesses of the swnnips and timbered tracts Often times the animals were not seen for mouths. When tho timo drew near for hog killing, parties were made up to 'drive" the swamp and capture the half wild oreatures, as it was desired to fatten them in pens before killing. It wns not infrequently the case that the wine became quite ferociouB, having heen left so long nt large, nnd the hunt ers fonud thomselves in the midst of a 'wild boar" hunt in earnest, which tboy hngely enjoyed. Most of the farm ers of the southern states now leave their crops nufeuced, and tbe stock bas to be pastured or looked nfter, which practioe bus put au end to such pursuits.

Probably tbe only town in Wisconsin that can boast a name of Spanish origin is Boscobel. This is how it happened, sccording to Mr. Ed Meyer of that place: During tbe summer of 1853 Mr. John Mortiiuore, a civil engineer in tbe em ploy of tbe Milwaukee and Mississippi Kailroad company, drove here with bis wife through the sand deserts Irom j AInscoda there was no town beretben. When tbey came within view of the present site of Boscobel, Mrs. Morti more, who was a lady of cnltnre and : understood something of the Spanish language, exclaimed, "Bosco-Belle, j what a beautiful grovel" After that Mr. Mortimore and C. K. Dean snr veyed and platted the city and ch(" tbe name Bosco-Belle at the suggestion ! of the former's wife. Milwaukee Sen ! ' linel. I "REX" 5CCigar5C KING OF ALL.
