Mr. Sopor’ s U nfortunate Attem pt to
Am use his Sick W ife.
Mr. Soper’s wife has been veiy sick for
some weeks, but, although extremely redu
ced in body and mind, there is still enough
o f the true woman remaining in her, which
led her last Monday, in a faint whisper, to
ask her husband, who had entered the sick
room, with a funeral cast o f features, what
was the news.
‘ ‘ W ell,” answered Mr. Sopor,sitting uneasi
ly down on the extreme edge o f a chair, and
balancing his hat on his fingers by the brim,
“ there ain’ t nothin’ to apeak o f ’n p ’ticler.
S’pose you heard o f Miss Cole’3 death; she
was taken the same time you was.”
“ I should think, James,” said Mrs. Soper,
with a feeble emphasis, “ that if you couldn’t
find something more cheerful to say to your
poor, sick wife, you’d hold your tongue.”
“ Cert’nly,” said Mr. Soper meekly, “ only
news is so sc’ace. Lemme see,” he continu
ed, looking thoughtfully into the crown of
his hat, as if he had a reserved fund therein,
“ you heard’ bout Marthy Carter’s breaking
her leg?”
A suappish nod o f the head from the inva
lid signified to Mr. Soper that he was on
dangerous ground, but after a moment’s re
flection he brightened visibly as he said:
“ You orter be’n to town meetin a Mond’ y.
The town’s yoted to have a new hearse, an’
I never was so glad ef any think in all my
life.”
“ James Edward Soper,” whispered his
wife, with a painful intensity, “ be you a
nat’ral born fool, or be you a lookin’ forrard
to gettin’ rid o f me?”
As the latter view had never presented it
self to Mr. Soper in the light o f his wife’s
inquiry, he looked very much subdued, and
scratched his head with an air o f painful ab
straction as Mrs. Soper said again with a
tearful voice:
“ Oh, you c’n go. I f you can’ t spare a few
moments to set with me an’ jes’ g iv ’ mesomo
little interestin’ news—I don’ t want you to
> stay ag’in your inclination,” she continued
with the sigh of a martyr.
Mr. Soper hastily expressed his willing
ness to remain and desire to please, so after
a brief inteival o f thought he continued re
flectively.
“ Well, Lemme think. I was over to the
widder Stacy’s las’ nignt to see ’f I couldn’t
make a trade for a Jersey heffer, an’ I tell
you, M’ria,” said Mr. Soper enthusiastically,
“ if she ain’t a harusum critter, I never see
one.”
An omnious light appeared in Mrs. So
per’s sunken eyes, and if her husband had
been observing closely he would have seen a
restless motion o f the hands indicative o f an
apparent desire to make a personal attack
upon some one or something, but he saw
nothing and continued:
"S h e’s jest about the right size, an’ her
skin as white as snow. She’s got the pooti-
est legs,” continued the unreflecting Mr. So
per, with a descriptive motion o f the hand;
‘ ‘ an’ when you commence to talk about
shape—why, M’ria,” said Mr. Soper, rising
from his chair in his warmth, “ she’ll meas
ure two feet across her breast------”
The scream which came from the afflicted
invalid at this juncture was o f such piercing
shrillness that Mr. Soper placed his fingers
in his ears, and Mrs. Soper’s mamma, who
was in the next room, appeared on the scene
in the twinkling o f an eye.
“ Oh, you awful brute 1” she exclaimed as
sho bathed her daughter’s brow with hair
oil in mistake for camphor, while the wretch
ed man feebly endeavored to explain that he
was only telling Mrs. Soper about a Jersey
heifer that ne was going to buy.
“ There, ma,” said Mrs. Soper with a gasp,
“ I ’m better now.”
“ You’d better, lea^ye the room ,” said the
matron, with a word of significant wrath in
her eye, and the unfortunate Soper departed,
muttering, as he slammed the outside door
behind him, that he’d be master in his own
house some day; but he hasn’ t vet, for Mrs.
Sopor has recovered, and tier mother lias ta
ken up a permanent residence with them.
To this day they dont speak to the widow
Stacv, and Mr. Soper’s reiterated explana
tion oas always been received ip dignified
and iucredulous silence.—From the Alleghe
ny Mail.

C h at w ith the Conductor.
‘ It is not often a man loses anything by kind
ness. I konw a little matter o f this sort saved my
life, and perhaps the lives ot many others, at the
same tim e.’
‘How is that?' asked we of our model conductor.
‘ Why, we h ad an Irishman on this road to watch
, the tunnel. It was warm weather, so he used to
ro into the tunnel to keep cool. I rather think he
used to take a little liquor when he was lonesome—
any way, he lay down on the track, one day. to
listen for the cars. He (ell ‘asleep, and very im
prudently got his head cut off by the express train.
Well, that was an end o f that irishman- There
was the devil’s own row in that shanty when wo
took the poor fellw u p ; we got away as fast as we
decently could, for you know-it is not agreeable to
be surrounded with a distracted family, when you
are neither a doctor, or a nurse, n or a preacher.
Somehow I was always sorry when I passed ihat
place; of course, I felt as if—not exactly the same
thing—but something just as had might happen to
me some day, and tnen there’d be another row in
tho family. I told my wife about it, and she sent
the family some little things. T h e w idow of tho
dead Irishman was a Catholic, and as I w as then
on a very fast train, I would sometimes take up the
old woman, on Sunday, carry her to ch u rch at
M--------.’
•That was during the summer. One night, the
next winter—it was very cold, and the mountains
were covered widh snow—we were ruuuing to make
time, when on turning a curve, the engineer saw
a waving light on the track, and we soon heard
some one ahead shouting. I was then ou t on the
platform. The engineer stopped the engine, and
slacked up. We got out and went ahead in the
dark to see what was the matter- There it was;
a large land-slide had fallen across the track, near
the shanty o f that old Irishwoman. She had built
up a fire, and watched for the train, lor the curves
were so sharp that wo might have been upon the
slide before we could see it. So when [we ran up,
there was the old lady with her calico cap, swing
ing the chunks of fire, like a revolving lighthouse,
and there was the iittle Irish children carrying
brush like so m aoy little beavers. She had watch-
all night in the cold. But for her, in another min-
u tew e should have run into a pile of dirt and stones
as bigas Barnum’s H otel. I should have got a pit
iiket, certain, for I was on th e platform. What
would have becom e of the passengesr and the train
you can guess as well as L ’
We expressed a hope the poor widow had been
■prqporiy rewarded.
‘The passengers made up about eighty dollars,
■and the company after-ward gave her the shanty
rent free, and the brakem en and engineers bought
her a cow, and she made out very well. But when
I gave the money to her that night, she said— ‘Gin-
ilemen and ladies, I ’ m thankful, and may ye nev
er know the want of what ye givs me. But what
I did was mostly on accouut o f him, there.
He
wa* kind and thoughtful to the poor and afflicted,
and I ’d a watched till I lroze, before harm should
Rave cOvOO to him, i f I oould have helped it.”

DR. GIBBON has the pleasure o f announ

principal Hospitals in Europe, and has re

old patients and those requiring his services
may find him.
The Doctor has spared neither time nor
money in seeking out new remedies, and
has returned with increased facilities for the
alleviation o f human suffering.

How many thousands o f persons, both
male and female, are there who are suffer
ing out a miserable existence from the ef
fects o f secret indulgence, or Irom virus ab
sorbed into the system. Look at their pal
lid, emaciated and disdgured faces and
their broken down constitutions, disquali
fying them for the happiness of marriage or
the enjoyment o f life. In this horrid situa
tion thousands suffer until death closes the
scene. Let parents, guardians and friends
attend to those who are sutfeiing with any
o f these horrible, life-destroying maladies—
see that they are cared for and cured before
it is too late. Send them immediately to
Dr. Gibbon, a physician who has made pri
vate diseases his especial study for years,
and who is certain to cure the most invete
rate cases without mercury or any injurious
drugs. It is important to those afflicted, or
those interested in the welfare o f their
friends, to be careful o f the many pretended
dootors who infest all cities, publishing their
skill in curing ail diseases in a few days, im
posing upon tho public by using tlie names
of eminent physicians from Europe and
other places. Be therefore careful and make
strict inquiry or you may fall into the hands
o f those charlatans.

Among the great
discoveries o f mod
ern science, few are
o f more real value
to mankind than
this effectual rem
edy for all diseases
o f'th e Throat and
Lungs. A vast tri
al o f its virtues,
throughout this and
other countries, has
shown that it does
surely and effectually control them. The tes
timony of our best citizens, o f all classes, es
tablishes the fact, that C h e r r y P e c to r a l
will and does relieve and cure the afflicting
disorders o f the Throat and Lungs beyond any
other medicine. The most dangerous affec
tions of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its
power; and cases of Consumption, cured
by this preparation, are publicly known, so
remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a rem
edy it is adequate, on which the public may
rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
tlie forerunners o f more serious disease, it
saves unnumbered lives, and an amount of
suffering not to be computed. It challenges
trial, and convinces the most sceptical.
Every family should keep it oil hand as a
protection against the early and unperceived
attacks of Pulmonary Affections, which are
easily met at first, but which become incura
ble, and too often fatal, if neglected. Tender
lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. As a safeguard to children,
amid the distressing diseases which beset tho
Throat and Chest o f childhood, C h e r r y
P e c t o r a l is invaluable; for, by its timely
use, multitudes are rescued from premature
graves, and saved to the love and affection
centred on them. It acts speedily and surely
against ordinary colds, securing sound and
health-restoring sleep. No one will suffer
troublesome Influenza and painful Bron
chitis. when they know how easily they can
be cured.
Originally the product o f long, laborious,
and successful chemical investigation, no cost
or toil is spared in making every bottle in tho
utmost possible perfection. It may be confi
dently relied upon as possessing ail the,vir
tues it has ever exhibited, and capable o f
producing cures as memorable ns the greatest
it has ever effected.

out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands.
B y its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most
