In miasmatic dis tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back and loins, and coldness ot the spine and extremities, are only premonitions of severer symptoms, which terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse nic and other poisonous minerals, form the 1.asis of most of the " Fever and Ague Preparations," Specifics," " Syrups, and "Tonics," in the market. The prepara tions made from these mineral poisons, althougii they aro palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in the system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure. Ayek's Ague Curk thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate pa tient; and its crowning excellence, above its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before the attack. For Liver Complaints, Arm's Ague Cc&k, by direct action on the liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the jxtisons which produce these complaints, and stim ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition.

' 1 ALBANY, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, Man mbat ArrnAaRira It really was "quite too awfully vexing," altar all ler preparations ware made, that now, nearly at the last mo ment, Riticlt a contreteinpe should occur, and the more she thought of If, the more was Mrs. Stewart A I Ion by in de spair. And with good reason fur she bad hauied cards for a morning concert a matinee miiatoale, as she called it on the invitation , the tirat she had ever given since she had moved to the great house in ene of the most faahiotiabjo roads in South Keuington, and ahe ierticularly deaireti that it should be a success -and now Hignera iklcore bad gone and fallen sick at the eleventh hour, and the programme would bo too short unleai aotne one cm Id be fonti'1. to aing the oavatiua fiom "linda de Chamounix." 'Put in another ajng instead," tug geated Mr. Allenby. wboee taste waa not educated up to concert pitch. "A comic song, indeed !" echoed his wife with a acorn fit I laugh. "George, you are a fool." itut aa Mr. Allenby bad heard tbia bluut statement a good many times be fore, be waa not at all dtaompoeed by it. At that moment the door opened softly. Mrs. Allenby started up. "Williams," ahe cried to the foot man, "I'm not at boaae. Didn't I tell you I couldn't see anybody this morn ing V " Yes, Madam," the footman anawer ed, coughing behind hia hand ; but it ian't company, madam it's tbe v tail ing govei neaa." "Ob '" Mra. Allenby was visibly re lieved. "Come in, Mia Aahton. Williams, call Mtaa Constance at once to her lea none." Margret Aahton came quietly iu, a little, gray dressed creature, like a nuo, witb soft, kazel eyea, a complexion aa pale aa ivory, and mended gloves uon ber email bands. "You are not well, Mra. Allenby, I am afraid f ' ahe said gently, aa she seated bersett. ' "1 am well enough T aaid Mr. Stew art Allenby, petulantly, -'only I'm in despair. You don't know of any one who ceuld aing that cavatina for me, do you, Miea Aahton f ' "Perbape I could," aaid Margaret. "You f Mra. Allenby stared as if the visit ing governess bad stated thai she could construct a sentence ia Sanscrit. "1 could stag a little once," aaid Margaret, 'and that cavatina waa one of my favorite pieces. " "You darling," ahe cried. ' If only you could belp me out of ibut dilemma, I'll be grateful to you all through my life." Margaret went back to tbe humble little auburbau cottage where abe rent ed three rooms a cottage where ahe supported a fretful valetudinarian mother, and a pretty widowed sinter, wboee life bad been a failure alt tbe way through. "Charlotte," abe eaid to tbe latter, "I'm going to sing at a concert Ueat Wednesday P "You r echoed the widow. "You'll fail, for a certaiutj." "1 can try," aaid Margaret witb a fluttering aigb. "You i voice ia well enough," aaid the NUter disparagingly ; "but it baa no volume. And you never will have tbe confidence to sing before an audi euce." The tears came ieto Margaret's eet. "I must do something, Cbailotte,' aaid ahe. "We cannot live on as we are living now. We are in debt every- here ; and since the doctor has pre scribed dainties for mamma I haven't known where to look for the money to buy them with. "Perhaps i shall get e?metbinr to do soon," aaid Charlotte. "But, in the meantime," said Mar garet, with a sorrowful uplifting of ber eyebrows. She was a magnanimous little thing, this bard-worked, pale-faced visiting a . . governess, or sbe won Id bsve reminded her elder atater that sitting all day with curled paired locks aud dog's eared novela was no Way to obtaiu a lucrative situation of any sort. "It's very hard on in," aaid Mrs. Aahton, wbo Sat with a devotional book iu her lap and a bun h of graos on a china plate beside ber. "If Mar garet had been like anyone else sbe would have made a brilliant match long ago." Margaret did not remind her moth er how ahe had discarded Basil Hep burn long ago, because be was not suf ficiently aristocratic and wealthy to suit Mrs. Aabton's loft ideas and how Mr. Hepburn bad since become a wealth roan, and a man of mark. "If he knew bow very jwor we are, said Margaret to herself, with a sigh, "I think he would be sorry. But 1 could not tell him; and now that he has gone to travel in Egypt, and up to the Nile, it ain't likely that I shall ever aee him again." "You havn't any more voice than a sparrow," said Mrs. Ash ton. 'You have never cultivate i what little you have," said Charlotte; "and the idea of your standing up to sing .a m a a among tnose professional vocalists ih simply preposterous." But Margaret stood valiantly to her colors, and when the eventful night ar rived she stood there on tbe velvet covered platform, in her well worn black silk softened with bunches of pink rosebud, and a drapery of misty lack lace, a spray of rosebuds, and drapery of misty black lace, a pray of rosebuds in her hair, and an intent look iu ber soft brown eyes. "Now, den't fail," Mrs. Alleuby had whispered as the Krtierers of crimson velvet were lifted for her to pess out upon the mimic stage. "No," ahe answered quietly, "I shall not fail." But for an instant the brilliant audience, the latter of fans the flafali of diamonds, the glitter of the foot lights seemed to blind and dazzle her a suffocating throat. sensation arose in her "I'm going to fail," sbe thought, and the recollection of Charlottr'a dismal prophesies occuriod to her her mother's prognostications of evil, her own tor menting doubts. "1 wilt not fail!" ahe said to heraslf, and advancing boldly in the arena, abe faced tbe circle of intent eyea, and be gan to aing. Hsreet and clear, like the notea of a lark, ber voice soared up, until, forget -iug her own identity iu that of Dow tetta's Swtsa heroine, she !noome al most inspired; and at the close a per fect shower of boqueta rained d wn upon the stage at ber fe.it an ovation of voices raag up again and again, iu deafening applause. But Margaret was conscious of only on thing -ahe bad not failed. Mrs. Allenby welcomed her raptur ously to tbe pretty little gr-wu room. "My dear Miss Aahton," ahe cried, "you are a genius- -a second Jenny Ltnd! Who was to suppose that you bad suck a divine voice? You are tbe star of my concert - the prima dona of the evening. No, don't take yur bonnet," aa Margaret stretched out her hand for it. "You must come into the drawing-reom. They are all wild to know, you." "Unit I cannot," pleaded Margaret, with a downward glance at ber dreaa. "I ate not prepared. "Yeu are peifect," aaid Mra. Stewart Allenby, with winning despotism, "lb sides, one of my guests says you am an eld acquaintance of hia. Mr. 11 -. burn, who has just returned from the Holy Und." So Margaret was le i into the roidat of tbe glittering throng, and introduced here and there, until, likeoni moing in a dream, she found herself leaning on Bern) Hepburn's am. "Si you area greet singer,'' be avid. "1 never aang to public I foi in all my life." "You will be proudei and more haughty than ever," "I never wss humbler in my life." "Margaret," ke uttered aoliiy. "Well, Mr. HepburuT" 'Mr. iiepburn! That sound cdJ. Suppose you say, as you used to say, Basil." "But things are not a- thev used t be," said 51argaret. her It. art b-ginniug to beat unevenly in her hr.st.

And Mum Aahton weot homo fiom Mrs. Allenby's mttiaee nVtUAbj mi engaged young lady. 1 didn't fail, after all," ahe aaid ra diantly. "1 have hall a doxen appli catiena to sing again at private con- carta, and Mrs. Allenby money just buy my wedding dreaa."

Very lovely she was, and very prettily careful to keep herself covered just enough, but not so much aa to hide the yoke of that charming night gown. The ceremony consisted of tucking in the bed clothes all around and so closely and violently that, the new man and wife were well shaken together. Then we lefc them.

Mills for Jraininc water from lands were first used in Holland in 140S. Cuiaiautine originated in the Board of Health of Venice in the fourteenth century. Sir-names began in France in the year 1000, and in England in the time of the Conquest. The first introduction of plating on copper waa in 1742 by a cutler of Sheffield. England. Among the Aaglo-Saxion the science of mediciue and of the law waa monop olized by tbe clergy. Tanners' lark for hut beds was first tuysl by the Dutch, from whom Eng land lajinwed the idea in 1688. In early times shad an I salmon were caught in largo quantities in the Wil liin.tntic River aa far tip aa Tolland.

The cent waa first proposed iu 1782, by K lc! t M 'ins. the great financier of the ll-tvolutio'i, and nested by Jefferson, two years later. It made its appearance froiu the mint in 1792. Excavation iu Yorkshire have brought to light skeletons, proved to lie those of Britons of a time previous to the landing of Caesar. Ons of tbe skeletons presents signs that the man was a martyr to rheumatism. The passion for feasting increased so much iu England in tho fourteenth century, that when Iionel, son of Ed ward HI , was married, there were thirtv courses, and fragments of the table fed 1000 poor jieople. In 1531 two priests and a lawyer sufl'ered death by tire at Smithneld, on account of some disturbance between the superior and inferior clergy.
