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. Aveb's Pills are specially aw)iicable to this class of diseases. They act directly on the digestive and assimk lative processes, and restore regular healthv action. Their extensive use b physicians in their practice, and by a civilized nations, is one of the many proofs of their value as a" safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative medicine. Bains? comDou ruled of the concentrated virtues of purely vegetable substances, they are positively free from calomel or any injurious properties, and can be admin istered to children with perfect safety. Aran'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 Diseases, 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 oterate to purify and enrich the blood, and impart renewed health and vigor to the whole system. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

The dull, cold day was at its close ; but the heavy rain and the strong south wind which bad swept the town since early dawn still sontinued with undiminished fury.

March bad come in like a lamb ; it was departing like a lion ; and shroud- h.' by wind and rain and heavy mist, tbt last night of the mouth oame thick- ly down. It was neat supper time, past closing lb WM mi Bupv tiwr, W vusini time for the mills and factories, trading time for the stores, and, except for an occasional light here and there in some saloon or corner grocery, the windows along the business streets of the town were dark and the rain beat unheeded against their black penes. Few neonle were abroad, and even those few seemed to have been foioed upon unwelcome journeys, for they hastened through the sloppy streets nth rind bent heada, shivering as the sharp tore at their wrapping or the . gusts of tbo rain beat upon them One such man, clad ta a heavy oil cloth coat, was wslktnir rapidy it. sa Ss eaa Mute street, when, just at a particular- -untact with a lad who was crouching in front of a baker's window, where s aingle tamp still burned, eying with I hungry fare the dainties withiu.

The bo v finished, half-frightened at bis own long speech to "the master" and again pulled at this ragged cap fhile the wild March wind tossed his yellow hair about his wet face and the cold rain beat upon his scantily oiad shoulders. Mr. Watterson atoe 1 aa instant in dt-ep thought, it was hard for him to realise such poverty as this, and among his own hmid-t, too. Jerry was a "bobbiu-bov in the mills, whom he biui known for a year or more, by Right, the only 'support of a widowed mother aad sister now of the sister only, it seemed ; the lad .hid always been bright-faced aad clnwy and the great nroprietor remembered him aa one of the happiest among his boys. That this child should aotually suffer for food while striving to care for his little charee. tie orphan Nellie, seem- ed too tree r r m, w And yet there just before him, his honest blue eyes telling the same story which his lips had repeated, stood Jer ry dinnerloss, supper leas, and almost homeless, upon this the wildest night of all the year. Mr. Watterson forgot the rising flood, which even now was theatening hiti milts ; he forgot the urgent errand which had driven him out into the storm, he forgot the wide social gulf between his servant and himself ; and remembering only that he was a Chiis tain man, answering to his Father in heaven for the welfare of this obild be fore him, he seized the boy by the arm, pushed open the dpor of the little bak ery before which they stood, and fairly diagged him within. "Here !" he cried to the l aker's wife, who came bowing and smiling to execute tho great man's command. "See ! Give this lad tho best supper you cau cook and alt the provisions ho can carty and send the hill to nit Then, hurriedly drawing some money from hi pocket book, be thrust it into Jerry's hand, and said : 'vhen you hare ea'en go back to Mrs. Crawford's and pay for a month in advauos. Then tir.d a doctor for Nellie, and stay with her yourself until she is well. After that, .come back to me at the mills. If they are standing yeu shall have work. No. Not a word r he continued, as 2, 1881. the astonished boy would have spokes. "The money is a present to you and Nellie from mo." And before Jerry could recover Irom his surprise, Mr. Watterson was gone Sapper ! meney ! and dec tor for Nellie 1 Could it be true t The toy unclasped his hand and looked at the preeious bills.

Suddenly there was a movement to tba crowd all hastening toward a w mon oentre - ana witn eager xaoea, both men and women gathered about a newcomer who wajipeaking earnestly. . ... "Yea. If that timber coul l be cut, it would break the jam! It lies just so that it holds " The owner of the mills burst through the little crowd. What timber! Wherel Quick! Tell me!

"And that la" "Over the ia itself!" A shudder ran through the listeners, aad even the proprietor's face grew more pale. Woo would venture upon such a bridge on such an erraudl With a common impulse the crowd, led by the workman who tirst disoev. arad ths W. turned hurne llv away from the river's brink, ran through a sidn straat. and trained a position loa-er down the stream, from whence the dam could be plainly seen. The report was true. The jam iu . - jam held in place by a single litubar a . a a a a . great squsre stick; doubtless torn ty the angry waters from some linage m a far up the country. If that eoald be cut, the blockade would be broken, the ioe would no longer clog the stream, and s mmm w the mills would be saved. For a moment silence fell upon all; then, suddenly, Mr. Waterson's voice, hoarse and thin, rang out above the noise of the storm and war of waters. "A thousanl dollars to the man who will out the timber." The women in the little group looked at each other and shuddered; the men fixed their eyes upon the dam; but ne one replied. The roar of the angry stream increased and the waters deein ened beneath the mill walls. "Two thousann dollars!" The proprietor's voioe was hoarser than before; but the women closed their lipa firmly and shook their heads. The men moved uneasily, and one drew his hand across his mouth as if he would have spoken; but still no one replied, and the white foam from the imprisoned river waa tossed by the wind against the lower windows of the mill?, while the corners of the buildings were already beginning to crumble and waste away before the grinding io. "Three thou " "I will go!" The two voices sounded so closely to gether that it was not nntil the crowd turned their eyes upward and saw the one who had answered that they fair ly nderstood the reply. Running from a third story window the lower mill directly across the river, above the dam, waa a long endless NO 18. enainused to convey power from the mighty water-wheel of the mills to the machiney of a little box fsctorv, Iocs ted upon the opposite bluff. This oham wee at rest now, and there ap peared at the window near it the figure oi a ooy, in a blue blouse, csrryin in his hsnds sn axa. He it was who had aid, "I will go."

For the one is at oollege and the other at school, both foster children of that most nleaaant aid bachelor, the oroerietor himself and it is only at vsoation time now, when his i. - m - days are brightened by the presence of ooth his loved ones that Mr. Watterson s memory turns back; to that spring time, long gone by when his son Jerry, in simple soulful gratitude, rtskod his fife to save the mills. thb nxrrv rissiax wsisR. mi i . mere is oaiy.one nappy woman in Tft a. ft . .1 sa a . xvussiB tne priests wire : and it is a common mode of expression to ssy "As happy as a priest's wife." The reason why ahe is happy is because her husband's position depends upon her. If she dies he is deposed and teeomes a mere layman, and his property is taken away from him and distributed, half to his children and half to the Government. This dreadful con tin gsnoy makes the Russian pries ; care ful to get a healthy wife, if he can, ami makes him take extraordinary good care of her after he has sec u rid her. She must never get her feet wet, and she is petted and put in hot blankets if she has so much aa a cold in her head. It is the greatest possible good fortune for a girl to marry a priest infinitely better than to be the wife of a noble. Neek tm Chronicls.

A lady oi Milwaukee has twin sons of whom she is very proud, both being handsome, sprightly and pi cooious little fellows. A short time ago a gentleman sent the lads a pair of "Colorado jacks," which, of coune. tickled U.eir fancies immensely after they had learned the important lesson of non-interference with the business end of the animals. One ot the boys was giving a lady a glowing description of the pets, which led to, the qusry: "Are your jacks gentle, Frank!"
