Ague Cure
t
I a purely vegetable bitter and power
ful tonic, and is warranted a speetiy ami
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills
nod Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe
ver, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, .and all
malarial disorders. 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.

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

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,

"But things are not a- thev used t

to the hands of many earnest women
who are inquiring what can be done
to advance tbe temperance cause.
Dear friends, you can pray for it,
and then begin to answer your own
prayers by trying to enlist some oth
er woman's heart on its behalf. Look
over the local field. Is there not
someone under the bondage of the
cup whom you can help? Many a
man who has beea an inebriate ten
or twenty years, has said to ust "No
one ever warned or entreated in?, or
spoke to me of Christ." Let the
question, significant, divine, ring in
your ear, "Where is thy brother ?"
Then, going a step further, will you
not endeavor to secure tbe forma
tion m a local l nion in your com
munity, the holding of meetings,
preaching of temperance sermons,
and circulation of petitions and re
monstrances against legalizing sa
loons ? There are many ladiea whose
help could be secured in taking the
most difficult steps here mentioned.
