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 of 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 basis of most of the " Fever and Ague Preparations," " Specifics," "Syrups, and "Tonics,'' In the market. The prepara tions made from these mineral poisons, although they are 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 ia the ears, headache, vertigo, and other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure. Ayek's Ague Cckk thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that eould 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, Atek's Agce CtJBR, by direct action on the liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the poisons which produce these complaints, and stim ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition. We warrant It when taken according to directions. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Practical and Analytical Chemists, Lowell, Mass. sew st au. jceeisT svbbtvvjixbb. Mate VOL. XVII. MRS. M.

How it did rain that November bight. Nona of yoar ukdecided show ers, with hesitating intervals, as it were, between; none of your mild, persistent pattering on the roof, but a regular tern peat, wild deluge; a rash of r.rrowy drops and a thousand of opening floods!

"This is snug," quota ths Squira. "I'm glad I had the leaky spot in tho barn fixed last week. 1 don't object to a stormy night once in a while when a fellow's under oover, and thete in nothing parttonlarlr to be dene." "Yea," Mis. I'ratlet answered. Bhe was Hitting about between the kitchen and the sitting room, with a great black chequered apron tied about her waist "I'm nearly ready to ceme in now. Well, I wonder," sutto voce, "it that was a knock at the door, or just a tittle rush of wind." She went to the door, nevertheless, and a minute or two afterward she went to her husband chair. "Joe, dear, it's Luke iiudilove," she said, half apprehensively. The Squire never looked up from his reading. "Tell him he ha mad a mistake. The tavern ia on th corner beyond." ' But he want to know if you will lend him a dollar." "Couldn't you have told him no, without the ceremony of coming to met Is it likely that I should lend a dollar, m W r a or even a cent, to iuke nuuuovei Why, I'd a great deal rather throw it among yonder rsxi cos is. io ot course not! Mr. I'ratlet hesitated, "lie look so pinched and cold and wretched, Joeiah. He says there is nobody in th world to let htm have a cent. "All the better for himself, if be did but know it," sharply enunciated the old Sqnite. "If lie bad ceme to thst half a-doxrn year ago, perhaps lie would not be the miserable vagabond b now is." "We used to go to school together," aa d Mrs. Prailst, gently, "lie was the smartest boy in the class." -'That's probable enough." said the Squire, "but it don't alter the fact. He is a poor drunken wretch now. Send him about hi business, Mary, and if his time is ef any consequence iust let htm know he hsd better not waste a coming here alter dollars.' m a as st Mrs. Pratlst weat back to the kitchen, where Luke Rudilove was war ruins' bis Roor finsers over the blase of th fir, hi Uttered garment teaming as if be was a ptilar of vapor "I've got to starve like any other doif!" said Luke Rudilove, turning away. "But after all, 1 don't uppose it makes much diffrence whether shuffle out of this world to-dsy or to morrow." "Oh, Luke, no difference to your wifef "She'd be better off without me," be, said, down-heart edly. "But she ought not to be." "Oueht and so are toe different things, Mrs. Pratlet Good-night. 1 ain't going to the tavern, although II wager something ths Squire thought 1 wsl." " An, l ian't it natural ennueh ha should think so, Luke." "Ye( ye, Mary, I don't say but what it is," murmured Luke, in the same dejected tone he need during th interview. "Stop, Mrs. Pratlet called to him, .t I, in a low voice, as nis nanu lay on me door latch. "Here i a dollar, Luke, Mr. Pratlet gave me for an oil cloth, to go in front of the stove, hut I will try and make the old one last a little onger. And Luke, for the sake of i . a a t . . your pser wire anu. ine tune one si home, for th take of old times, try and do better, won't youl" Luke Rudilove looked vacantly at the new bank bill in Irs band, and then at the blooming young matron who had placed it there. "Thank you, Mary, 1 will. Uod bless you," he said, and crept out into the storm that reigned without. "I dare say I ve done a vary foolish thing, but indeed I could not help it. If he will take it home and not spend it at the tavern, I shall not miss my oil cloth." And there was a conscious flush on her cheeks as if she had done some thing wrong, when she joined her hus band in the sitting room. "Wll," said Squire Pratlet, "lis that unfortunate gone at laatl" "Ye." "To th Stoker's tavern, 1 upp&4et" '1 hope not, Josiah." "I'm afraid it' past hoping for," said the Squire, shrugging his shoulders. But Mrs. Pratlet kept her secret in her own heart. Tt was six months after that the Squire came into the dining room, where his wife was preserving great red apples into jelly. "Well, well," quoted he, "woniers will never cease. The Rudilove' have gone away." "Where?" "I don't know out west somewhere with a clony. And they say Luke's not drank a dron of whisky for six months." "I'm glad of that," replied Mrs Pratlet. "It won't last long," he suggested, despairingly. "Why not?" "Oh, I don't know. 1 haven t any faith in these sudden reforms. Mrs. Pratlet was silent; and ah theught thankfully that after all Luke had not spent the uouar in uquor. Six months six yeais; tho time sped along in days and week, almost before busy Mr. Pratlet knew it was Cue. The Itudilove bad returned to queeset. Luke had made his for- tuno, so the story went, far oil in Eldorado. "They do ay," said Mrs. Bucking ham, "thst Luke has bought that lot down opposite tho court house as never was." "He must have prosiiored greatly,' said Mrs. Pratlet. "And his wife, she wears a lk gown that stands atone in its own rich ness! I can remember the time when Rudilove was nothing but a poor drunken creature." "All the mote credit to him now, replied Mrs. Pratlet, emphatically. "It is to be sll of stona, with white mantel and inlaid floors; snd ke has puts Jot of papor and things under the corner stone, like they do in pub- 10 building. "Well, thst is natural enough." "I know; yt it seems kind o' queer that be should puts dollar bill in with the other things. He must have lots o' money to throw it awsy in thst man ner." Mrs. Pratlet felt her cheeks flush. Involuntarily she glsuoed towards the Squire. But he never looked around She met Mr. 1 tail i love that afternoon fer the first time since his return to SequoRBft- Lake hitnaclf, save thst the demon of intern pcrsnco had beu completely crushed, and his hotter nature triumphing at last He looked her brightly in the face, and held out his hand, saying but ono word. "Mary." Tremulously she replied,"! am glad to see you here sgaia." When Luke bad overoome his tno- a l s lion, ho continued: Do you ramembcrthst stormy night when you gave me that dollar bill and begged me not to go to the tavern!'' "Yee." a . a a a f "That night was the pivot ou which . . t . r my whole destiny lurueu. i ou wen? kind to mo when all gae mo naught but the cold shoulder. You trusted me when all other face were averted. That night 1 took a vow to myself to prove worthy of youi cenhdsnce, and I kapt it. I have put the bill in the corner atone of my new house, for it alone from that d- liar bill. I on'tofler to pay yon back," he aiJ, aaiiingly, "for I'm afraid tlm luck would go from me with it. Hut 1 11 tell you what I will do; I'll give money and words uf trust and enconrazeiueni to other poor wretches ss you gave to me." The next dsy Mrs. Pratlet rcut ived from ths delivery man st Iter door a bundle which when she had opcuo 1 it, revesled to her astohishsd gore In most beautiful piece of oil cloth her eyes bad ever beheld. This naturally attracted the Sqaire'a atteution; and and when Mrs. Pratlet told him all, he only replied with some emotion, "You wete right snd I was wrong." KsTitu aimitr i.i. i n N t. Man is the only snimal thst can be taught to sleep on an empty atomach. The brute creation resent all efforts to eeax them to such a violation of th laws of nature. The lion roar in the forest until he baa found hi prey, and when he ha devoured it he sleeps ovr until be need another.

To sleep well the bloed that swells the veins in the head daring our busy hours must flow back, leaving a greatly diminished volume behind the bro that lately throbbed with saeh violence To digest well, this bloed is needed a thestemaehi and nearer tho fountains of life. It is a fact established beyend th possibility ef contradiction that sleep aids digestion, and that the pro oess ef digestion iscenduoivo to refresh ing sleep. It needs no argument to convinoe us of this mutual relation. The drowsiness which always fellows the well-ordered meal is itself a testi mony of nature to this intci depen dence.

"Where unJer the sun is Darker Jim?" id Pinkie to herself, and ab'o turned over and over in bed trying to find him. don't believe Kitty put him to bed at all." Kitty was the nurse, you know, snd Dsrkey Jim was the black rubber doll that Santa Glaus brought last Christ mas time. 1 don't know why Pinkie always wanted Jim to sleep with her, because he was torn moat to pieces. The big dog got him once snd ate a whole leg oft, and one night Jim was left outdoors in the rsin, and was dreadfully soaked out of shspe. But Pinkie had a little sister Ruth, who slept in another room, just through ths doorway, so when Darkey Jim wasn't found that night, Pinkie called out : "Kuth, arc you asleep ?" But no answer oame. "I belie v she's got him herself, and won't tell," said Piukie. So she got out of bed and went inot tho next room. "Ruth, have you my Darkey Jim V she asked, as she csme to the crib. Ituth didn't answer, snd so Pinkie be gan to feel all about her for the doll, and at laat aha found it. But do you supioae that Ruth was really asleep ? Not a bit more than you are at this moment; and when Pinkie tiied to lift Jim out of the crib to take him to her own bed, she found out that Ruth waa wide awake and bad tight hold of Jim's leg. "Go 'way !" cried Ruth, aittiog up in bed and tugging with all her might to keep hold of Darkey Jim. "He's mine, Ruth Vail, and you know it," answered Pinkie. "So give him tome." They were both dreadfully cross, it seems to me, but they were dreadfully sleepy, too. Well, the end of the quarrel was that mamma, who was down stairs, oame running p te aee what the noise waa all about. Ruth was crying, bat 'inkie wasn't- because she hsd the doll. "He's mine, and 1 wsnt him," ssid Pinkie, crossly. "I got him first, and I think I might keep him, I do," sobbed Ruth. "Now look here, "said mamma, uk Lfg Darkey Jim awsy from Pinkie, thta ia too bad, to make all this noise snd fuss, and neither one willing to give up to the other. I tell you what I must do. "I m going to stand Darkey Jim up here against the door between the rooms and have birn sleep there a all night. He'll bo just as near one of you a he ia to the other, and I hope both of my little girls will be satisfied -although I must say that I think Uuih shouldn't have taken Jim at sll. Wcause he didn't belong to her." So thst was the srrangemant made, and mamma went down ataiia again. leaving the children in ted, and Jim standing on his one legsgsinat the door. Pinkie hdn t been in bod two min utes before she began to think : "I don t see whst use J im is to any body over there." Then she thought a little more : "I don't think 1 was very good to Ruth, particularly as she gave me half her peach to-day. I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to get Jim and put him atraight in Ruth 'a crib." So both the little girl got softly out of bed at just the same time, and went carefully across the floor. "I must be very careful, so Ruth won't hear ma," said Pinkie to her self. "I must be very carefull so Pinkie won't hear me," said Ruth to herself. So they felt along the wall, and put out their hands, and ran bump against each other in the dark. "You take him," aaid Pinkie. "You take him," answered Ruth. "He's yours, you know and I'm real aa sorry. "But yeu gave me the peach, and I was cross," aaid Pinkie, holding oat Jim in the dark. And how do you think they made it all right t Why, they both got into the same bed, and Darkey Jim slept between them. .V. r. TribuM. ARMS AMD ReXSSXSB. A man of airs The cruan-grindcr.

The re fleciiv and truly observant reader will rot need to be told that the enemy is none other than Father Christmas, under whose flowing board and ample robos re concealed the moat insidious designs against the peace and purity of Preabytorian Scotland. It is well known thst about two centuries sgo the Knglish abandoned their efforts to force prolaCy on Scotland. But they did ao under a shrewd conviction that they could gain their end bj gentler meana. Here, alao, they bas-e been re warded with only too evident auoceaa. In spite of the Revolution settlement, in spite of the Act of Union, Episco pacy, as is well known, has made greater progress in Scotlsnd during these yesrs of peace then she did under the greatest pressure of "the killiag time." Now she has her pretensions cathedrals in our great cities, and her neat and trim churches in provincial towns, and even in remote highland glens and lowland dales. Her ramifi cations aro as deep as they are far reaching. There ia reaaou to believe that an earnest attempt is on foot to follow up these victories. The design is to be accomplished by enticing Presbyterians of all classes into the roost innocent end enthusiaatio ob servance of Christmas. The fact need not be longer withheld that Father Christmas is a Ritulist, or a Jesuit, in disguise. In short, Father Christmas is "the thin end of the wedge:" behind him are marshalled, in ever broadeaing phalaax, all tho aaints in tho calendar. Aa might have been exoacted. the means employed to advanoe the project are of the most iosidioua character. The chief instrument relied on by the new propaganda is the well known Christmas Csrd. The design of meat of the cards is beautiful; but look at the design of the system. Nothing oonld be more innocent then the pleasure which old and young alike take in the sending snd in the receiving of theae cards. Yet nothing can be more cer tain than that they are prelatia springs te catch Presbvteiian wood-cocks. The design of many of them is ecclesi astical and Ritulistic. The pictures ou some of them are utterly Popiab. m s The Scripture texts on a'l of them are the very texts used in the service ol the Episcopal Church appropriate te tho day. Could anythirg be plainer than that this is a design to introduce prelacy into our Presbyterian beatta and homos) A young person who sends to a friend one of these High Church cards is slready half an Episcopalian; by the time that he, or ahe, has re ceived half a dozen in exchange, he, or she, has been sent right over the line. It is amazing that Presbyterian divines have not seen the danger that lurks here. renae ax rtaEt-E. There is a subtile, almost indefina ble quality In some people, which may be defined as presence. The per son impresses these he meets by cer tain magetism, which has a rare charm ; and home times, on the other hand, a strong repulsion. The wom an of presence is either liked or dis liked. She is seldom overlooked, and never ignored.

A good con science is an excellent thing, end se too is a wiusome manner. It should be cultivated. Children should be taught courtesy by precept and by ex ample. Listen to them when they talk to you.

THK MA AT THE JIXTI The other day six railway passengers over a line in this State were put down at a junction to wait for a eross-line train. The little depot was the only building in eight, and the man in charge of it was not a tslegrspb operator. He simply kept the statioa-bouse and lagged the trains, and ho was no more responisble fer runnina than the Tycoon of Japan. Every one of the six realized this, and yet it wasn't ever two minute before one of the passen gers sppr-oached him and asked : ' Is that train on time V "I guess so." "Yo oe so I Dn't yeu knew T "No, sir." "Yee don't, eh t Then how do you !rn-w it isn't an hour late V "I don't." "Don't, eh 1 Well, if that train's late you'll " H.re he waa elbowed away by the old woman who mad up the six, snd who wanted to knew : "Will I git home today V "I gas so. ' The train top here, doe it V "Yee'in." "Stope long enough for me to git on 1' "Oh, yes." "Well, mehb it dees, but if it don't you'll bar from us V She gave place te a man who had looked at hi weteh three times in six minutes, aad who sternly aaked : "Did I understand that we were to wsit here two hours V "Yes sir.'' "Is it two hours before that train ereseas here X ' "Yes. sir." "Whereabouts en the line is the train now f" "I don't know.' "Wh den t yon telegraph X "We have no instrument here." "Haven't eh 1 Tht' a pretty state of affairs ! Two long hours, and p r hapa four !

"Doee it eroa here X "Ye,ir." "Always stop t ' "Always,' "If I should got loft hate to-night it would eost somebody a good round sum." In the coarse ef the next ten min utes the other two men approached and indulged in about She same style of ccnversRtion, and after an interval ef ten minutes he was aaked what time it was, why he was net aa operator, why the trains dida't make close con nection, and why on earth he didn't have an eating house in connection with the station. He had a civil an swer for every question, and his pa tience never wavered until jest four minutes before train time. Then the old woman said to him for the twen tieth time : "Do yoa 'spoee I'll miss the train F' "I hope r.ot," be quietly replied, "for if you do I shall take to the woods" And st thst tho six pasMngeas gath ered on the end of the platform, went into convention, and it was unanimous- Rrsolvd, That tho arrogance and impudence of public servant must be and i hereby sternly rebuked."

Shoes to be fashionable must taper to a rounded point at the toes. Necklaces, when worn at all, must be high and elase around the throat Bangle bracelets large en agh to slip over the hands are no longer in vogue. Plush borders for plain felt hats and bonnets are miRofaetured in large quantities. Fobs for tho wateh, with fob chains and seels, are revived among gentle men's fashion. Wide full rums of old lace are much worn by those who nave or can obtain the old laces. Decorated tambourines and banjos appears among handsome holiday goods for presents. If man, or woman either, wishes te realize the full power of personal Wau ty, it must be by cherishing ncble hopes and purposes, by having seme- thing to do and something to live for. A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise gainst and not with the wind. Even a head-wind i better than none. No man ever worked his passage anywhere in a dead calm.
