U a compound of the virtues of arsaparil la, stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with the iodide of jorash and iron, ail powerful blood-making, blood-cleausing, and life-sustaining elements. It is the purest, safest, and most effectual alterative medicine known or available to the public. The sci ences of medicine and chemistry have never produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so potent to cure all diseases resulting from impure blood- It cures Scrofula and ail scrofulous diseases.

By its searching and cleansing qualities it purges out the foul corruptions which contaminate the blood and cause derange ment and decay. It stimulates and enlivens the vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores and preserves health, and infuses new life and vigor throughout the whole system. No sufferer from any dis ease which arises from impurity of the blood need despair who will give Aves Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with the numer ous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, and without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-purifiers, while disease becomes more firmly seated. Aveb's Sarsaparilla is a medicine of such concentrated curative IKwer, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-purifier known.

Then, alarmed by the unexpected sight, she uttered a terrified cry, and, throwing eway ber pitcher, started to go into the mill. Mysie's loud, sudden ctj and the clatter of the t olling vessel frightened the gray horse, which reared furiously, unseating its rider end throwing him heavily uponf the green sward, not msny feet from the mill door, where he ley like one deed. "Alack-a-day ! what have I done V cried the buxom gudewife, losing ell ber ruddy color es she sew the knight lay proetrate, end his steed gallopping over the caree. Hearing the oiatter of srmor and his gudewife cry of alarm, the miller shut down the gate and came rushing out, hie gabertdne end bonnet end black beard ell covered with flour-dust. "Devil mend thee, Mysie f he cried, in some consternation, for be saw that the knight's armor wee of the costliest, and that his violet-colored cloak was of satin edged with minever.

"Noo ; sey it not ; he is only stunnit e wee bit," said the wife, es she knelt by the fallen knigbt, and strove to lift htm. "Rise, sir rite, and for the love of St. Mary tell us where ye be hurt." But the man lay motionless, end made no reply. "Hoolie ! ' cried the mi! er, "this is a pooty scrape. Should iu vaasais come agang, we stau' a gude chance u' having our mill burnt over our head.

At the aetouuding intelli gence she slipped out the ttrlmg pin, opened the door, and rushed out to the highway just as four horsemen, with closed helmets end drawn swords, gallopped up in the gloaming.

"This shall presently give thee pardon," cried tbe msrniless wretch; and with these terrible words he plung ed his danger into the breaat uf the unfortunate king, repeating tbe blow until his victim was deed. Tbe assassin nnd bis companions then took tbe body on their backs, carried it without tbe mill nnd flung it, all gashed and bloody, like so much co rion, into a hidden ditch where it was never found.

Every boy and girl should he taught to swim, and be trained to it. Most boys learn of themselves, while the re verse is true ef meet girls. This latter fact is a grave mistake. The mistake ia more serious than formerly, because so large a portion of our population spends weeks and months every yenr nt onr watering places, and because travel on river, lake and ocean, and Bailing ia beats and yachts for pleasure. have tneraased to suoh an extent. For these reasons as wall as others, a knowledge of the art haa become a meeeity. The lives that were recent ly lost in consequence of tbe collisions end banting of steamboats might most ef them have been saved, had all the paaaengers known how to swim. The mare consciousness of ability to a. a a . . '. swim, nd the feeling of familiartv with deep water that it creates, would either preveut or greatly dimmiah the pantes that are so disastrous in cases of accident on the sea. Besides this. the inability to swim of persons who are in tbe water when a dtsaater ht ecourred greatly imperils the lives of those who can swim and are abundant ly able to take cere of themselves, t r the swimmers are often overtawHted by the wild clinging to them of the luokleas persons who ate drowning near by. The time to learn to swim is in childhood nnd youth, and every parent should see to it that all hi ohildren become experts in the art. It is an easy srt to learn. There are peo ple who live in boats whose babies even swim like kittens. a weass's cexTKM. "Ob 1 I almost wish something would happen," she said to her group of frieuds ou one ef the fany-boat yesterday. "Since I learned to swim I have the utmost confidence in myself, and I'm n it a bit afraid of tho water." "Can you swim t" asked several at once. "O, ye. I've been practicing for over a week, and I cue swim, dive and float. You ladies don't know how much mijoymeut there is in skimmiug along the surfaoe of tbe water. Why, 1 feel perfectly at home there.' "And where do you swim," inquired one.

We paseed over, however, slowly and safely, and through the Forks to South Han Ham bridge and when are crossed we breathed easier, a wt knew that the country to Brownsville was smooth snd level.

Tbe construction cars run daily, carrying oat material for aide tracks, depots, warehouses, and gravel for ballast. Three stations will be made between Brownsville and Colery. The telegraph poles are now being put up snd the insulators and wires placed in position along the road.

Dav.p Newstmf, Oct., 1881. saixTikc tsie rare Thirty years ago a few persona of foreign birth appeared in the streets with hair on the upper lip, and wero objects of curiosity nnd sometimes of ridicule. In 18o0 some of the young swells of the metropolis began to wear mustaches, but for seme time noclerk would venture to imitate them. Io one case a merchant on pine street, who bad josjt engaged a slerk for twelve months, or daring good behavior, discharged him for wearing a full beard, claiming that the adoption of the fachion laid the open to dismissal under good-behav ior clause to the contract About the same time a number of leading mer chants gave notice that they would employ nobody who wore hair on the upper lip. As late as ISol the senior proprietor of this paper made His cashier shave off his incipient mus tache, and soon after-brought his own son under tbe razor. In the church of Dr. Bethune, on Brooklyn Heights, an elder whe was suffering from a lame wrist allowed his heard to grow rather than submit to a barber. The habit beginning in necessity, contin ued on aecouat of the increase of com fort It afforded, and the elder flaunt ed his beard before the congregation constantly. The result was laughable. Many of the brethren cuded upon tin pastor to Insist upon doing away w ith such a scandal as a full-bearded eider, lie led them to his library, and show ed them how some of the early fath ers had pleaded against cutting off the beard. He quoted from Cle ment, of Alexandria, the asserts in that 'Nature adorned men, liko a lion, whn a beard, as a mark of strength ah d power.' v hen one of the visitors asked bm how he would like it if the clergy assumed the mous tache, Dr. Bethune rsferred him to a decision of the fourth Council f Carthage (A. D. 282, can. 44) in which it was positively enacted that a cleric shall not shave his board, and to a statement made by Luther In discussing the subject, all the Pro testant martys rwere burned in their fall beards," This did not settle the matter, for hulswiuently the ladies of the congregation put in their protest. But in a few months a venturesome lawyer let his beard grow after the manner ot th t ide, nnd in a little while emooth si avei faces were no longer the rule but were the exception. The bridge of boats on which Xerxes crossed the Hellespont was fastened by cables made of papyrus. Nearly as many reams of paper, In the United States, are made into collars as are used to write upon. Five thousand of the inhabitants of Paris earn a livellhw d by t h ingrats, and selling thtir skins to the glave makers.
