In Whooping-cough aud Consumption there is no other remedy so efficacious, soothing, and helpful. - Low prices are inducements to try some of the many mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap and ineffective ingredients, now offered, which, as they contaiu no curative qualities, ran afford only temporary relief, and are .sure to deceive ami disappoint the patient. 1 diseases of the throat and lungs demand active and effective treatment; and it is dan gerous experimenting with unknown and heap medicines, f roiu the great liability that these diseases may, while so trifled with, lieeouae deeply seated or incurable.

"Now 1'ui going to show you why I struck out for myself." I had been driving a mile or two with my cheery friend, Dr. Mary Bted nan, and until thai moment wm un ewa-e of any motive for the ride, other than the usual one of pleasure to ut both. "1 have a warm place in my heart for my native Vermont, she went on "ai.il, icunwititf how I love it, 1 am sme you have often wondered why 1 I'd not reiiiaiu hort luelead of seeking a home and a rofeiou for mynelf among atrangrr." 1 bad often speculated on this very Bttbjeotj but there waa no time to cm fatta it, lot at that moment my com panion reined un suddenly, and with a briak "Hem we are!" jumped from the carriage. "Thin," ointitig to a weather baet en, but still comfortable looking bouse, "id tlio botuentcad. Since the death of our parents my eldest brother has lived bare. You needn't be at all disturb ed." as I naturally hesitated about in truding among strangers, "for my stater-in law expects us." "How oosl ! bow neat ! bow shady and comfortable r were my first ex clamations as I followed my leader into the old fashioned parlor. "Juat ao, she lesponded drily. "And, my dear, yon might search from cellar to garret ot this great bouse, and though you stood upon ladders, and peered with a microscope on your hands and knees you would never be able to find a fly." Mrs. Htadmsn looked as her sitter in-law bad described her "like a very sad and troubled ghost." Hhe waa painfully thin and haggard, and mt least a doxen times during our short call 1 noticed ber mournful eye fill with tears. M Well, Sarah," said tie doct r , "you are as busy aa ever, I suppose V "Ob, yea," our hostess replied ; "there is never any end to work." "Been making butter to day "I made a little over forty pound s this morning." "BHtore breakfaat, I appose r The trior's tone was somewhat crisp. "1 churned at four, and 1 have juat worked my butter over 1 don't mind so much when churning doesn't conn waabing -days ; and, you see, cream bss got to be attended to whenever it is ready. 'llwn wuiihiug toot' my friend in quired. "Oh yes ! And it did seem as H I bad evry garment in the tub thu thr S III lht hHIr !" "So youe made forty pound of butter," aaid the doctor, whei Med bat Iim- i" "Not much h . beside the rrguUr work. 1 picked aome beans for dinner, mi iuadi a le pies ; that all ! At this poiut my frieuJ, much to a -it .'I my Miirpriee, luruod ine convoraallou into other cbanm-l-t, and soon sfter we took our leave. It seems to me you have neglected an optoriumty, 1 remarked as soon aa we hail driven away. "1 supposed you'd think aO, my companion answered ; "but you can form no conception of the amount of breath I have wasted on that very e . S ft case. 1 am regarding it now siieiy from a scientific standpoint. I think ( can calculate tbc length of that wo man's days within a traction ol time." "I should think your brother wouldn't allow his wife to work so," I remarked. ' What does he know about it V said the doctor. "He comes into the house for the three meals that are prepared tor him, and when night comes be goes to bed and to sleep, or he drives ever to the village and sfieads his evenings with bis friends. My brother works hard, but be works out of doon, and that saves him. Sarah has an excellent reputation aa wife and houte keeper all over the country. Bbe has helped my brother 'lay up' io Ver mont vernacular everal thousand dollars. It doesn't take a prophet to see that another wife will have the benefit of this one's toil ; though it is probable, if she come from this section of the country, she'll not have sense enough to be benefitted by anything !" "If your sister-in-law would only have a servant," I suggested. "A servant Why, what a green horn you are !" said the doctor. "Do you think my brother and hit wife are strong enough to bear the finger of scorn that would inevitably be pointed at them should they employ a servant 1 It is far better, my dear, to work one's self to death tbau to be called lazy and extra vagaut. If this were net the ease they would not think they could afford a servant. My brother is dominated, soul and body, by the spirit of economy and his wife is a reflection of himself. Here we are again," my friend con tinued, coming to a stop be fere the door of a more modern and more pre tentious mansion. "My youngett sister lives here. It seems singular, doesn't it, that I have never introduc ed you to my relatives before ? The truth is, you and I are only perplexi ties to these good people. We turn them out ot their beaten tracks for a while, with no other remit than to add to their hard woik and anxieties. Ten years ago my sister Anna was as healthy a girl as theie was in V rua nt, and Lhe brightest and wittiest one ot the family. I had s me b-pe thtt she would keep out of the tieadm I , and, if she did marry a farmer and Kettltt duwn here, that she would furnish an ex ample of common-sense to her neigh bors ; but she is just, like th a test, only worse, perhaps. All this as the doctor hi o id her horse, and we walked ep the I en grave! led walk. Sister Anna was scolding oue of hei children when we entered tbe house, finished her loud pitched hsrangce. "I don't believe any one ever had such contrary youngsters as I hsve got I" sLe remarked apologetically. "They do worry me so sometimes thst it seems to me I should enjoy myself in my grave." "Kend a couple of them to me, Anna, whenever you feel like parting with them," said the doctor. "I would in a minute if their father wss willing," the lady replied. "I don't know bow to bring up childreo," she added, "and if I did know how, I haven t auy time. To tell the truth, I have such a pain in my id all tbe time that I'm not tit for anything. I wish you'd give me mmum of that mud icine, Mary, that ou gavt me last Summer." "1 supjt yoi. WUTl i-iHt as hard, Anns, as though ou hadn't a fain io your aide," the dootor rmuaikrd. "Of course 1 do," was th somehrtt irritable reanonao. "Who else is there to do it if I give up f ' "Where is the pain, Anns, and no long have yon had it f The doctor's tones were even, and ber manner so calmly professional that I had at tbe time ne suspicion that any of it was assumed. "It is under my left shoulder blade," ber sister replied, "and 1 baventt breathed a long breath since last No vember. Hotnetimcs it is worse than others, snd I am conscious of it every minute." Tbe dootor drew a cbair to ber sister's side, and took ber band in hers. "Dear me, Maty, my pulse is all right," aaid the invalid, doing tbe beat to make light of the situation. "How many men does your husband hire this Bummer, Anna V tbe doctor inquired, as she prepared some med icine. "Only six this year." "And you cook and wash for them, I suppose f" "Of course." "How many cows hsve you V "Fourteen.- "And you make butter for market T Bister Anna smiled as she answered this question. "1 average about sixty pounds a week." "Wbat time do you gt up in the morning V "About four o'clock." "What time do you go to V "Anywhere from ten i iwtdve and then, with a glance lit my direc tion, "you an, farmeis haVo to keep ahead of tim. If they didn't futnag to do this thry couldn't lay up any thing, to aavt thir livev" "Anna," aaid tbe doctor, taking m notice of the ahote rr-asurR, "1 inteud to stay iu Vermont a momh, unlrMi I am nerded in Nw Yk.

"1 will a"a I'y do ail I n i v hi, Anna," lh doctor resumed, "aud wln-n I am cuU)a-llfd to go li k I will l-a,-you in good hands ; but It must las oo condition of the most perfect oladince on your (wrt.

To begin with, Anns, your husband must find other places for bis workmen, and aome one must be found immediately to do your house-work. You must go to bed every night at eight o'clock, and remain in bed till after breakfast. You must have ell sorts of nourishing food, and pork and codfish must be eliminated from your bill of fare." "Maty, what do you mean f There was a look of terror in the poor woman's eyes, and her lips quiver ed painfully. "I mean, if you do exactly as I tell you, you may get well ; if not, it is impossible." the doctor replied. "If a you think I am extggerating, or don't know wbat I am talking about, send for any teputable physician you please, and ask him to tell you the truth." ' Oh, Mary ! There isn't any wy of doing the things you speak of. CI trice feels awfu'ly poor this Summer, and 1 have been trying harder tltto ever to make the ends lap over. "Where is tinker tae doctor in quired. "He's down at the creek, haying." "I Will drive down ami havH a talk with him right nay," said mf friend, making ready to leave. "Oh, Mary 1 Don't you think there is any other way 1 Tbe poor woman had broken down completely now, and the doctor held her for a moment in her strong arms and caressed her tonuly. "No other way, sis," she teplied ; "bat we will do tho best we can There's no telling what a good reat and careful wur.dug may do tor your poor, tired body, my dear. "I was going to take you to some other places, the djctor remarked a we drove away, "but it would have been th: same old story work, work, work, without rest or change, from year's end to year's end. My mother killed herself by attempts to get ahead of time. Two sisters have travelled tbe same road that A una has started on, one of them absolutely dropping dead in her kitchen in the midst of her work. This is the kind of thing I could not endure to se go on. I kuew it was all wrong as I koe. .i ivttiing, snd when I became old enough to have a voice in my own education I persist ed in taking a different course. My suiter Anna has tried so hard to get ahead of tim-i aud make things 'lap over that she hi abused and probably killed herself, lajsides criminally neg lectins and mismtnaeimr her children. n - SmW d I don't suppose she baa averaged over five hous' tdeepottt of the bweuty- f'our during the last five years ; and think of that amount of rest for a wo man whoe brain and muscle are for "WW. w ever in use ! & very year i o )iue up 4, 188J. worse among my relatives and most of my friends, and the horrible part of it is nowing one can ssy or do, will ever nave the slightest effect." "Don't you think your very natural anxiety about your sister may have colored your tlisgnost a little t" I iu quired. "Not in the leaat," my companion answered. "Anna's pulse was one hundred and twelve. Tbe respiration was labored and ominously frequent. There is no mistaking such signs." "How could sbe keep at work with such a pulse ss thst ?" I sked. ."Dy tbe exercise of will wwer," aaid the doctor. "In our family will 4wrr is a dirn-t inberiuned.

"Now you know all about it," ube remaiked in parting, "and if any one ever asks you why Mary Bted man did not remain among her re'stivea. you can say that she declined to live among criminals and suicides." Five months sfter the above incident, suiter Anna died ; and one year from that date the widower mart ted again. Tbe second wile is a duplicate of tbe first working night snd day snd "lay ing up" for a futuro which it h more than likely sbe never will enjoy. a wtsii in siosih. Camping near the town, we se cured our stock and then went in en tering the leading store, I introduced myself to Mr. Stilea, one of the pro prietors snd post master. "It's now half-past 2 nnd at 3 there's to be a wedding down the street Jonas Is a rough old coon that we elected Justice of the pcare about a month ago, and, as this will bo his first attempt at a marriage, I think we will see some fua. Come and go down with me." We went down to the old 'Squire's cabin. We found him DeuriuaT over large volume of the stautea of Wyoming, f wee ting like a horse and looking terribly anxious. Afier greeting us he aaid: ".Stiles, the man that got up these 'yer laws hadn't gumption enough t laithlm overnight.

The fees and costs w re adjusted, and after receiving the congratula tions of the assembly, the new-made husband and wife departed for their cabin up the creek.

Perhaps be bsd better read Paul's letter to tbe GaUtfoos again, and be will see whst the Apostle is writing to tbem about. The same Paul says that "tbe law is only a terror to evil do?rs," and as laws seem to be his especial ter ror, let me commend to him Galationa 5 18 to the close of the epiatl, and especially verse 23, (the same letter of Paul when be finds hia anathema) and ask him to bear some of the fruits there specified, when (ajrhaps bis cbeek will blush' not for the law, but that it is not better ohaorveJ and enforced, aa mentioned by "Prohibition."
