Cathartic Pills
Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions afieurately ad
justed to secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical ex
periment, and are the most effectual rem
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
derangement of the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt and effectual
treatment. Ayek's Pills are specially
applicable to this class of diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and assimi
lative processes, and restore regular
healthy action. Their extensive use by
physicians in their practice, and by all
civilized nations, is one of the many
proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Be'ng compounded of the concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable eulwtances,
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be admin
istered to children with perfect safety.
Aier's Pills are an effectual cure for
Constipation or Costiveness, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness,
Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness,
Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism,
Eruptions and Skin IMseases, Dropsy,
Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic,
Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout,
Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from a disordered
state of the digestive apparatus.
As a Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these Pills
are the most thorough and searching cathar
tic that can be employed, and never give
pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate to purify and enrich the blood, and
impart renewed health and vigor to the
whole system.

A Story of the Summer.
A low brown farm houae, whim

ample iu deinension ; ami what caa
he mete delightful than thf large com
uiu.li.niH bleeping room of a country
borne. Add o thiw the bounty of a aum
mor ovm iu the natural noenery tb.t
lunonmti thn home uf Mra. MmihIi, mM
y.ni h .v the o oaing acvuu in the story
1 .iu aliuut t rla4i. Hhe had juat re
IstftMal from tin vilUg, a mile Ubttant,
and WHM talking very nrmitlyto her
(Uuffbter.
"Von aeo Mra. Wtlbomie promi.'nd
to take them, and now that they are
all eick it ia inKMUuble, and aa they ex
pect to be here fburaday it will be a
groat favor for ua to take thetn, I told
her 1 would aee you, and decide thia
evening. "
"The arty iu queatton waa a Mrs.
f eraaqee, weultby city lly with
to cliildren, who wtahing to spend a
few weeka iu the country, bad engag
ed board at Mrs. Mtllere, a near neigh
her of Mra. Marab."
"Well 1 aupioae we may as well
take them," "Hattie reapouded, "but
how 1 do hate those fasbionablo wo
man, and the iearly teeth came to
gether by way of emphasis. "I gueas
we had beat take them, H.ttie," end
kindbearteil Mra. Marab, hurried aw.y
to aend a mewteneger. And now tb.t
the problem bad beet, (solved ll.ttie
Marah turned a new leaf and continued
reading. Sbo wa not a beaoty,lbiagtrl
to whom aummer with tta roay aplen
dor and autumn with ita gilded leavre
had come jimt uiuetcen timea v t tbcre
woa Homelbing attractive abvut her.
la summing up the pointa of real
beauty, you would diecord every fea
ture until you came to the mouth and
chin ; lipe cloaing over iowm uf teeth
that Uirly rivalled the old time a?arla.
Kor aome reaaon the atory ebe wm
reading lost tta charm, aud the thought
of the coiniog viutura would crowd
tbemaelve. in, until at laat growing
impatient abe laid aside her book, and
gave heraclf up to her weyeraid fancy
wondering vaguely how Mra. Iarneque
would aui, wbetbei ahe would be
pleasant or not, and a thouaand oi h. r
4uealions came aurging up until ahe
Onally wiabed .he had never beard of
the individual. Kor Hattie Marab
waa an only child, and the widowed
mother had rha given her her own
way a little too much ; but un.b r
neath the itnattent worda beat a true
wumana heart, and it needed only the
opportunity to prove it. In all her
life ahe bad t4n, a bright, hpy,
joyouM, gitl. Whet if ahe bail noH
read uve her bouku, early aud late,
abealwa)a aed a r litnll xhui
inatiou in h-r atudiee, and th.u hat
voice waa alwaya the tirat in proHMing
a picnic, and it waa alw.ya Hattie
Marah 'a laugh that rang ao clear and
loud, aa the day wore away. She bad
netfJ mingbd with the inhabitants of
the city, indeed ahe had been there
bttt once, and that had been several
yeaia before, so ahe dreaded meeting
Mia. i.irneque. Hut now that it waa
decided, ibe went to work, with a will,
planning and managing unlit the old
home looked very comfortable, to aey
the leaat, and when en the evening
before the at rival ahe bad taken a last
aurvey of all the rooma, from the kitch
en with its rooms of shinning tinware
to the quiet aitting room, with ita old
faahioned li replace filled with evergreen,
ahe breathed a high of relief.
"Well I have done the beit I could,
mother," ahe aaid, turning to the kind
faced woman, to whom ahe waa all.
"Indeed you have aueceeded in
making the old home look very pleaa
ant, Hattie, 1 only hope we will be
able to entertain aur visitor."
"Ob, never fear, mother, 1 am only
thankful ahe did not deem it neceeeary
to bring bar huaband, brother or coue
in with her, and now I must go for a
walk."
The next moruing dawned bright
and beautiful, and at last the rumbling
of wheela announced the coming ar
rivala. Hattie, in her plain morning
dreaa of aimple lawn, looked very
pretty, ho her mother thought, aa ahe
went down to meet them. To ber dis
may who ahould band the lady out of
ihu curriuge but a tnll, dark faced man,
of perhaps twenty eight, whom tabu
Mra. L'lriieque introduced as ber broth
er, whom ehe hud imitated on biiuging
with her f a a few day vacation. 11
covetiug from her surprise Hattie led
the way up to the house and Men.
Marah aoon made them p.)rfoctty at
home. While Hattie with perplexed
face was holding consultation with the
girl that helped about the hoousework,
"There ia no other way Either that I
can aee, but to give him my room. 1
cant see why he had to come." Dut
there was no time for delay, so she
hastened away to arrange the room,
and a tew minute t later Henry Floyd
stood surveying the room and its con
tents, I am afraid with rather a critic's
eye. The result was satisfactory, in a
degree, for be gave a long, low whistle
and then slowly mused. Ho she has
given me her room has she. Well it
looks like her ; what a look she give
me thin morning It was bad, my
coming with, out a woid of warning,
lint. I am here now, so we bad best be
friends." And later when seated at
the pleasant ton table, over which
Hattie presided he inwH.idly resolved
that it would be no fault of his if tbey
were not very warm friends. Mrs.
Larneque proved a very pleasant
boarder. Hhe was one of these bright,
happy dispositioned wournn, who are
sIwhvs agreeable so long as there is no
exertion necenaary. Cumequently she
was invariably agreeable, Henry Floyd
would-always be the fisrt to propose a
drive or picnic. In time Hattie's reserve
wore away aad in less than two weeks
after their arrival they were good
friends. He bad that enviable power of
drawing people out, and often times in
conversation Hattie would be surprised
to find heraclf deeply interested in sub
jecta ahe had rarely thought of ; she
aaid so much to hltn one day. Ilia re
ply was, "It is a lawyers bus'neis, you
know, and as 1 am inxeiMttienced I
find myaelf constantly trying my (tow
er. " Ho the days went by and Henry
at length announced bis return to the
eity on the week following. He had
gone down to the village to nml some
letUt-h, and Mrs. lairueqtiv waa chat
ting away to Hattie and her mother in
the aummer aitting room, everything
nee mini ao joyous that morning, thought
Hattie, aad abe had neca.ion to remem
ber afterwards the vmy song of the
yellow canary that eeeinod in danger
of ita threat,
M Yea," continue 1 the voluble lady,
He try was always tooaideieda fearful
rilirt, aud I used to think myself be
would never many until ibis last
season when he met lama I, ... 1 don't
think they are engaged; but in all
probability there will be a wedding in
the early autumn. Hbe ia very pretty,
and accomplished too; besides abe will
upon her marriage come tuto a hand
some estate. Well I am glad he baa
done ao well," Unbilled the little lady,
but there ho cornea now, and in her
eagerness to aend the letter, .be did
not notice Hattie leaving tbe room. It
took but a moment for ber to anatch a
I at from the rack and fly down to ber ( 1 1
retreat, a shaded start near tbe little
creek that flowed through tbe Marah
farm.
"What ia it to me," .he thought,
with burning cheek., "that be ia to
marry a wealthy lad);" but abe well
knew what it meant to ber now, al
though it bad never been revealed to
her before. Hbe had never known be
fore why the days wtro so abort, why
the summer had beeit o glorioua, .he
knew now, it waa the old, old atory.
Iart they who will, morn lis truth, far
be it from me to doubt the existence
in every human '. life of that auntie
magic power which we term love. It
cornea to all aooner or later, and be the
choaeu one rich or poor, it will glorify
the vary air be breathra. Hattie
Mmsh, at nineteen had never known
iu )iower before, i .tandiug there on
that aummer day .he alowly but aurely
awakened to tbe reality , In tb.t brief
hour .be croaapd the tin alight and
(whsmI from giillex-l ini.i a woman;
abe knew now that the areh-a day.
were forever gOui and data lb- of
usefulnrH, if not haajisMM, lay kefees
ber. And el hhe could not appnmeb
him, be hol avtfff t-en other than a
kind friend t h-i, oud p-rhape it wa
ber imagination i h Imi her to lieliee
I be cared for ber. Welt ahe knew now
the tru'h. and would act according
ly; so when Uter ahe returned ami
Hnuy aaked her to aiug it wa in the
aa me kind manlier she complied with
the requeat, but it did mt - - - -1
worda
to tell htm that there waa a barrier be
tween them, and ia the few teuiaiuing
day. the distance only widened. There
were no explanation.; it would have
been better if theie had been, for
when he would resolve to ask a reaaon
for ber habitual reaervi , .be would be
sure to treat him with tbe utmoat
kindnesa and be could frame no ex
cuse f ir a reproach . When filially tbe
last day came Hattie with smiling face
wished him a pleaaant return.
May I wtite to you, Hattie," he said
at he waa having.
It is hardly neceaaary, I ahall bear
o( yoni safe return through your aiater,"
waa her reply, and the calm face did
not betray the faat beating heart. "No
it waa best," she said later, "I waa
foolish. I will profit by tbe experience
of the past weeka."
And so be went away. Tbe weeks
following were buay out a and when at
length Mrs. I a root tie fotir.d ahe had
overreached her intended return, Hat
tie was not sorry. "It would seem
good" ahe aaid, "to be alone once again."
Hbe did not admit even to herself that
she would be glad when the time oeme
come when ahe would never bear Mary
Floyd'a name mentioned. His aiater
beard from him frequently, and aave
his kind regards to the family her name
was never mentioned. At last the day
came and they found themselves ones
more alone, and a week later life at the
farm lud dropped back iuto the old
channel, Hattie had detertniued to
study through the tutor; ahe had told
Mi. L o ne i -, one day iu the preaeitco
of Mr. Fiovd, a id so one d.ty iu the
autumn, ahe received a full aet f all
the books tdie hail wanted, there Waa
only a cavil haying he hoped they
would prove interesting, and Hattie
thought, "he, ia sorry ho me to think
I have none of Um advantages of Miss
I. te, and it is for nnr sake he sends
them." Ho she wrote u few words of
thanks iu reply, and promised herself
improvement. Mrs. Marah had been
troubled with the heart-dine tae all her
life and it htvl couiu back to her now
that tbe winter was coming. In vain
they employed the beat treatment, the
old physician shook hit head, aud .niid
it was only a question of lime, and
Hattie wat'hed with loving devotion
the face that for her had only looks ot
kindness. It is bard to lose our loved
ones; yet it is still harder to know that
at any moment they may lie called,
and it seemed to Hattie Marsh that
she never needed a brothers love to
mush as she did now. Yet when the
day of trial c.trae she met it bravely.
Death came entirely peacefully, to her
who waited for iu approach, and Hattie
felt as she returne I to her disconsolate
home that if there was a tVnre bet
mother was certainly happy. It was
very dreary at first, very lonely, in the
house where she had ever heard a
mother's voice.
She was sitting before th fire, whose
flickering light added new beauty to the
fine face, thinking of all the changes
a few mouths hid brought her.
It was New Years Kve. Ot all days
how much we dr.nl, and yet long tor
its approach. It seem a mystical bond
between the paat and future. Hbe had
forgotten every thing, and was living
once more the happy summer days,
when Esther came in to say there was
a gentleman wishing to see her.

Thinking it some ono from the
rillsgn she told hi r t j bring him ir,
ami scarcely had .(sjken the worda
when a familiar voice said. "Will von
uot welcome roe, Miss Marah, after
having come through such a storm,"
and the eager voice and outstretched
hands told her how glad Henry Floyd
was to meet her.
"I amfglatl to are you," she replied.

"Why did you h(k11 my name

the local talent.
"Take a look at that manuscript

tho editor with a grim smile.
The rest of the company yelled
their complaints in unison, and tho
editor calmly sorted out a series of
bills for unpaid subscriptions and
presented each with one, ami it was
so tiat when they received them,
they all tore their hair and rushed
violently down a steep place to the
sea, and St. Peter, taking the editor
calmly by the hand, led him within

course of the trial a witness for the
defence of the late will was called,
who swore positively that lie saw the
testator's hand upon tbe paper, with
the pen in his flngi n, and that the
will was then signed.
O'Gonnell watched this man nar
rowly. He was a very proper man
in appearance ; solemn and sedate ;
with an outward show of pfoty.
There was something in his tesii
rmny not ratural. The matt was
not telling truly what he hail seen.
At length O'Connell . took him in
hand for examination.
"Witness ! you were in the room,
and saw that will signed T
"Yea, sir."
"You saw the testator, himoelf,
write his name V
"Yes, sir I saw him write on the
(taper n the spot where his name
is now."
"And he was alive at the time ?"
"There was life in htm certainly
sir life and sense."
This was the point which O'Con
nell had before marked : "There
was life in him !"
And furthermore !
be observed a peculiar twitching of
the witness's lips, a puckering of
the mouth that could only have
been tbe result of some bit of remem
brance which caused him thus to
pucker bis mouth involuntarily.
"George Henry McOrath, calling
him by bis full name, "you know
that tbe testator signed that will ?"
"Yea, sir."
"Did he have assistance
I'Yiw air X man Itolt hi.. ItAnrt
to steady It, for he was very weak.''
"Yet he was alive
ete had life and sense, sir."
. . . ....... .. . . g ....
At this juncture O'Connell strode
forward and looked straight into
tbe man's face with one of those ex
pressions which never failed to
terrify tbe guilty ; and when he
spoke his voice was like a crack of
doom.
"McCirath ! Look me in the eye !
Do you suppose I cannot look into
your craven heart and see the base
subterfuge you harbor there V
Then grasping tbe man's arm, and
sinking his voice to the tone of tbe
nepulchre, he went on, speaking
louder as he proceeded :
"You say the testator had life left
in him. Now, air on your oath
what was it that had been put into
- - - m I
his mouth ! Was it a living fly ?
Answer me !"
The poor wretch shook liko an
aspen ; and thesattorney for the de
fendant had started forward to save
he day, but O'Connell was on his
guard.
"Answer me !"
And a convulsivo "yes" burst
from the pale lips of the frightened
man. Ho was not proof against the
electric power of the legal giant.
Of course that closed the trial ; and
we will only add, in conclusion, that
while Daniel was able to appear in
court the man who would appear
against him must hive Truth aud
Iliglu on his side. If he had not no
amount of testifying aud swearing
could avail agaisnt tho wonderful
intorpentratiou and cunning craft
of this intii of tho people.

These remarks of Horatio 8eymisr
are full of wisdom, ''Wo may not
only think in words but we must all
try tousothe ts-st words, and th-
which in speech put what is
in our minds into the minds of others.
This Is tbe great art which those
must gain whs wish to teach in the
school, the church, at the bar, or
through the press. To do this in
tbe light way thfy should u-e the
short words which we learned in early
life, and which have Ihe same enr
to a I elasses of men The English
of our Bible Is good. . Now and then
some long word are four d. and (!:
alwagshurt tba verses in which tin y
find tnem. Take that which ss:
40 ye generation of vipers, who . ,i n
warned you to flee from the wrath lo
eoroe? There is oe long wrd
which ought not to be iu it namely
'generation.' In the old version the
Id word brood' is used. Read the
verse again with this term, and you
will feel Its full force: ye viper's
brood, who hath warm d ye t flee
from tbe wrath to come? Crime
sometimes does not look like crime
when it is set before us in the many
folds of a long word. When a man
steals, and we 'call it a 'defalcation,'
we are at o - to know if it ia a blnn
deroracrime. If he does not tell
tbe truth, and we are told that h is
a case of 'prevarication, ' it takes us
sometime to know just what we
shtajkl think of it. No man will
ever cheat himself into wrong-doing,
nor will he be at a loss to judge of
others, if be thinks and speaks of aci
ni clear, crisp terms. It is a good
rule, if one is at :t loss to know if an
act is right or wrong, to write it
down in short, straight-out Kng
lish." rlfc Amrrtt-aM Bt-w.

Dr. Hammond suu that when you
poke the end of your Gnger iu your ear
tbe roai ing noise you hear is the sound
of the circulation in your tinger, which
is a fact, as any one can demonstrate
for hiuiaelfbw first putting his fingers in
bis ears and then stopping them up
with other sujstance. Try it and
tHnk what a wonder of a machine
your bo ly is, tbat even the points of
your lingers are such busy workshops
that they roai like a small Niagara.
The roaring is probably more than the
noiae of the circulation of the blood.
It is the voice of all the vital processes
together the tearing down and build
ing up processes that are always goin
forward in every living body, from
conception to ieath.
