My Two Loves.
Stable Is an heiress.
Courted, proud and gav;
Oertie Is a seamstress.
Toiling all the day.
Maule's iomrt a castle.
Stalely, old and crawl;
Gertie's Is a cottage,
By the ocean strand.
Matte's hair Is Jetty,
Called In shining band;
Gertie's tie. wine tmw,
Like the golden sands.
Matte's eyes are sparkling.
And of sable line;
Gertie stole tlwir color
From the vaulted blue.
liable1 voice eommudi yon.
Changeful as the breeze;
Gertlefs like the zephyr
liHperlng In Mwtret
Mable bows to fRlikn
Worships at iu Dlirlne:
Gertte, at an a liar
Made by hands divine.
I can hnvo by asking
Kitber of the two;
But this querv rites:
What am I to do?"
On one f.We there's plenty.
Houses, gold and lands;
On the other, nothing
Dot. two willing hands.
Ah! a mhjiity secret
Ltea within my breast!
8balll tell It, raster?

The Pitobw of Oool 'Water.
bt T. a. Airmen.
, "It is such a pity!" said "Mrs. Leo,
turning her eyes from the window. A
child stood near her looking upon the
road a small, biue-eyeu, ctieruo-iiKe
creature, that made you think of a bet
ter country tlian the one we dwell In.
A man had just jiaesed, anil it was of
him Hie lady spoke when she said, "It
is such a pity.''
"A great pity for his wife and chil
dren," replied Mrs. Lee's sister.
"Oh, dear! It'sa pity for all of them."
sakl Mrs. Lee in a troubled voice.
"Why doesn't that man drink cold
water when lie is dry, and not pour
burning liquor down his throat? The
one woukl refresh and satisfy him, while
the other quenches his thirst only for a
little while and makes it stronger when
it returns. I've thought oftcner than
once of meeting him witii a cool glass of
water as he comes by, in the hope that,
on drinking it, lie would turn back to
his shop and not keep on to Iluber's tav
ern." "It might do good," Mrs. Lcc went on.
"Suppose he did feel a little annoyed, he
would hardly refuse a cool drink; and
that once taken, he might not feel so
strangely drawn towardllubcr's might,
in fact go back to his work in.-tcad of
keeping on to the tavern. The next
time I saw him coming I could oiler the
drink again, and with it a pleasant
word. 1 could ask about his wife and
children, and show that I felt an inter
est in him. I am sure, sister, good
would come out of it."
The sister did not feel so hopeful. "It
would take more than a glass of water
to satisfy his thirst," she added.
"Ami then you know," she added,
"that Barclay is easily oflended. He
would understand just what you mean,
I fear, and grow angry and abusive."
llll.nnn .n. i ,.-.!.! ir
Lee. "We're alone here all daw and it
would be hardly safe to provoke the an
ger oi a iirunKen man."
"Not at all safe," was the sister's re
nlv. "It's a irrcat nltv for him nml lii
lamily, but it's something that we can't
neiy."
"I don't believe it would make him
angry to oiler him a cool drink of wa
ter."
The child who had been listoning to
hor mother and aunt, said this quite
earnestly.
The two women looked at each other
uut did not answer the child.
Mr. Barclay was a carpenter, and his
snop stoou not, iar instant ltom tlie house
oi Mr. xe.
TTa 1 . .. .1 .. : . l ,i
jc jjuu, uti uiiu unit;, ueuu very wen
off, but like too many others, he would
uikc a glass oi liquor now ana then.
This led him into the company of those
who visit taverns and ale houses, and by
thom he was often drawn from his shop
or his home. So neglect of business was
added to the vice of drinking, and the
carpenter's way in the world turned
downward instead of upward.
Mr. Barclay had several children. The
youngest of these was named Fannv,
and she was just four years old. He
was very fond of her and often had
struggled with his apjetite for liquor on
her account. Many times he had gone!
uttcKwaru anu lorwam ueiore tlie tavern
door, love for Fanny pleading against
the love of liquor, and urging him to
spond the few pennies in his pocket for
a toy or some candies, instead of for beer
or spirits. But this dreadful thirst for
drink almost always got the mastery.
Poor man! He was in a very sorrowful
condition.
On the morning after this day on
which Mrs. Lee and her sister were talk
ing about him, it happened that Mr.
Barclay was without a cent in his purse.
What was he to do ? Not a single glass
of liquor could be had at Iluber's tavern,
for he was already in debt there, and
they had refused to trust him until the
old score was paid oil. But how was he
to go through all that day without a
single driuk of beer or whisky? The
very thought made his lips feel dry and
quickened Ids craving thirst
He opened the bureau draw to get a
handkerchief, when something met his
eye that made him pause with eager,
yot pained expression of face. At first a
light Hashed over his countenance, but
una uui uuiCKiy.
t th.nl,Wn. M, ..? :Vi..TZ r" . "t I

thon shutting the drawer quickly and
hard, he turned away and walked to the
other side of the room. For some time
he remained there quite still, his back
to tlie drawers. A very bitter struggle
was going on in his mind. Alas! lie
was not strong enough for this conflict.
Slowly, step by step, listeuinir as he
r U1JU
moved across the room, looking ju?t like
a thief, Mr. Barclay returned to the
bureau, and opening the drawer ho had
closed so quickly, a little before, thrust
in his hand.
What did it bring forth ? I grieve to
say it was a little wooden box, only a
few inches square. He had made it
himself of dark wood for ills little
f anny There was a small hole cut in
tlie lid, which was fastened on with
nreVT?' wFan"y,a money box! Yes, even
so. it was Fanny's money box! Tlie
MS.ivMB v?yifew tb1 came into
the child's hands, but all she had re
ceived for many mouths were in thU
box. She was saving them to buv n
present for her fathcrVcWmoT5
A despera e look was in Mr. Bar
o ay's face as he clutched the box. Hur
riedly he took from his pocket a small
screw driver, and m a moment the lid
was off. Half the pennies were emptied
into his pocket, and the lid replaced and
the box returned to the drawer.
He had scarcely taken breath while
the box was in his hand. Now he sat
down, like one suddenly robbed of
strength, and panted. The dark Hush
went off his face, and lie looked pale and
guilty.
"Papa!"
Jt "was Fanny herself. The loving
child came in and put her anus about ;
HIS HOCK, lie icuas it ciaspcu in u vice.
It was as much as he could do to keep
from pushing her with his strong arms
away.
"Are you sick, papa?" The child had
caught a glimpso of his pale, disturbed
countenance.
"I don't feci very well," he answered.
His voice had so strange a sound to his
own ears that it seemed as if some one
else were speaking.
"I'm so sorry!" and Fanny drew her
arm tighter about his neck, kissing
him.
This was more than the wretched man
could bear. Bising hurriedly, and al
most shaking off his child, lie left the
house and started for his shop, that
stood nearly a quarter of a mile distant.
Ho did not go to work immediately, but
sat down on his bench. He had no
heart to work just then.
"Oh, Jim Barclay," ho cried out at
last in tones of mingled shame and an
guish, "that you should come to this!"
He got up and walked about like one
bewildered. Just then a mau rode up
to the door of his shop.
"Is that shutter ready for me?" he
asked.
"It will bo done to-morrow," answered
the carpenter.
"Just what you told me yesterday,"
said the man, roughly. "The fact is,
Jim Barclay," ho added, "there's no de
pendence on you any longer, and I shall
take mv work somewhere else."
The carpenter was in no mood to bear
patiently a nam speecn irom any one,
so he replied as roughly as he was
spoken to, and the customer rode off in
aneer. Barelav stood lookincr after him
as ho moved down the road, his cxelte-
meut gradually cooling until the blind
ness of passion was gone.
"Fool, everv wav!" ho tntittprral. fum
ing slowly to'hls work-benoh, and tak
ing up n nlane. "It wasn't so nnpp. Vn
dependence on Jim Barclny ?"
nc was nun oy tne accusation. The
time wns when no mcchaiito in ih
neighborhood could be more depended
on. 11 Jiarrlay promised n piece of work.
it was sure to be readw Alas! how
changed! lie was just as sincere, per
haps, whenever his word was given, but
In performance how slow! lie would
start In earnest every day, and get on
very well until tho desire for Honor
grew strong enough to tempt him oil to
Hubcr's tavern for a drink. After that
no one could count on him. AVlicn he
returned he would be a changed man.
Instead of going on steadily with the
work he had begnn, and finishing it, he
would put it away for something
neglected on the day before; working at
this for a short time, and then go to
something else at last growing so be
wildered he would drop his tools and go
off to the tavern, often not returning to
tne snop that day.
Borne panels of the unfinished shutters
lay on Barclay's work-bench. He took
tnem in ills Hand, turned them over, run
his eye along the edge, and then stood
hesitating what to do. This shutter was
not tne only job that .should navo been
ready, according to promise the day be- i
lore, lie uegan to ue worried just as it
had been with him so many times. But
where to beirin his dav's work which
of his neglected customers to serve first
he did not know. His hands were
unsteady, a sense of heaviness weighing
down his limbs; in body and mind he
felt wretched. He thought of Hubcr's
and a refreshing glass. Just one glass
and liis nerve would be steadier for tlie
day's work. Then he thought of tlie
pennies in his pocket the carefully
saved treasure of his dear little Fannie,
stolen from her that morning; and such
shame fell upon his heart that he fell
down upon his work-bench and groaned
in pain.
"I'll get one glass," he said, starting
up; "for I must have something to put
life into nic Tlie pennies are only
borrowed, and I'll return them two for
one."
This thought that he borrowed the
pennies lessened tlie pain at his heart.
"Just one glass to make me all right."
And off he started for the tavern which
stood some distance away.
Between the shop and the tavern was
a pleasant cottage. Mr. Barclay was
nearly opiwsite the cottage, when out
ran a child holding in her little hands a
small glas3 pitcher full of water, her
golden hair tossing in tlie wind. She
was about Faunv's ace and beautiful as
a cherub.
"Won't you have a cool drink. Mr.
Barclay?" said the child, stopping be
fore him and offerinir her pitcher, while
her earnest, tender eyes, blue as violets
were lifted to his face.
Surprised and startled by this sudden
vision of innocence and beautw Mr.
Barclay did not hesitate for an instant.
but took tlie nltcherand almost drank at
a single daught every drop of the cool,
pure water.
"liianu you, my dear!" dropped from
his lips, as he handed back the empty
vessel; and then he stooped and kissed
the child. She did not turn away and
go back into the house, but stood be
tween mm anu the tavern, gazing up into
his face. He took a step or two forward,
the child caught his hand.
"Oh! don't, Mr. Barclay!" she cried,
eagerly, and in such a pleading voice
that her tones went further down into
his heart tliau human tones had gone for
a long, long time.
"Don't what, little darling?" he
asked, bending toward her in new sur
prise. "Don't go to Hubcr's auy more," an
swered the child.
Mr. Barclay drew himself up, and stood
for many seconds just as still as a statue.
The child looked t him with a half
scared expression on her countenance,
but she kept firmly hold of his haud.
Suddenly catching his breath like one
who lias oeen deprived or ail, he stooped
quickly and touched the child's pure
invi. .i i i. .
. . . 13 PV ""c said not a
word, but stood upslralght again, turned
resolutely, and went striding down the
road in tlie direction of his shop
From the window of the cottage,
mother anil aunt looked on in surprise
half trembling in fear lest the mail
should do some violence to the child, yet
rebuked for their own lack of confidence
in the means which liersimple faith had
made so stronir for pnmi ti,
her own. They had no hints of her
purpose until they saw her crossing
the road with a pitcher of water in her
hand.
Mr. Barclay returned to his shop, took
off his coat and went to work. Tho cool
water, but more the good resolutions that
the child had awakened in his mind,
gave tone and refreshment to body and
mind, his nerves, all unstrung when he
started for the tavern, were steady now.
No tremor ran through his hands as he
grasped chisel, mallet or plane. He
wrought with a sense of pleasure in his
work not felt for a long time.
After an hour this feeling began to
wear off, and the old heaviness and
thirst for liquor returned. His thought
went to Hubcr's tavern and the tempting
someining in tne way ne count not pass
not nerce lions such as irignteneu poor
inristian, but a pure and innocent ciiiiu.
He felt sure that when she saw him
comin
him
pitel:
impossible.
"Go around by the old mill," said a
ii.! 1i)t,n.?,sniritmLis Noughts, "and the
child will not see you."
He barkened for a moment to this
g alone the road she would meet
with her sweet pleading face and her
lerof water, and tnmsi hv would be
suggestion, and then with almost angry
iune as ii reuuKing lempicr, saiu :
"No! no! no! God's angel met me in
an evil tiath and turned me back. I
will not go around by any other way."
There was a snrinir not far from Ma
shop. He drank freely at this, and then
refreshed took his work up again. How
clear his mind was! clearer than it had
been for a long time. Like a beautiful
picture, framed in his thoughts and
holding his gaze with a kind of fascina
tion, was the image of that lovely child
meeting him in the road and offering her
Eitchcr of cold water. It was perpetually
cforo him and the longer he looked
upon it tho softer his heart became, and
the stronger his good resolutions.
For the first time in months it might
almost be said years Mr. Barclay came
home that evening clothed in sobriety,
and in his right mind. What a great
throb of joy his pulses gave as he saw
the look of surprise in his poor wife's
face, and felt the delight of dear Fanny's
heart as she sprang into his arms and
hugged him in a way that told what a
new gladness was fn lier soul. Not
until ho had, unseen by any one, re
turned the pennies to her box, did a
ml spot of shame fade off his maulv
check.
"Mr. Barclay was never seen in
Hubcr's tavern again, nor in any other
tavern."
"If," ho said to a friend, years after
ward, in referring to this period of his
life, "the oltl desire came back, and my
thought went to Iluber's tavern, it never
got past the little white cottage; for out
from its porch I would always see com
ing to meet me, pitcher in "hand, that
heaven-sent angel child; and to have
passed her would have been impossible."
SriiEitEs. "It is a sorry waste of life
to bo theorizing and wrangling about
spheres. For if it be pertinaciously in
sisted that tho sphere of woman Is the
auections, anu consequently the home,
what then ? If that be so. is she likely
to leave it? The sphere of man, tho
learned ten us, is active life. Very well.
are men likely, then, to retire to the
nursery? Do wo exclude them from the
nursery by law? And is the disposition
of women to break out of the nursery so
much more positive than that of men to
break In that they must be bound in
strait-jackets? What we all want, men
aim women equally, is, line tne prodi
gal, to come to ourselves to escape both
the glamorof mere theory and theirvves
of arbitrary restriction. No direct nor
indirect permission will cause one wom
an to be less womanly, nor one man loss
mauiy and nouie. it is not by mere
permission of law or custom that men or
women rail from real manhood and real
womanhood. Yet none of us will deny
the annoying force of a fake theory.
But the tme answer to those who ask in
dismay about the square pegs and the
round noies is tne verso ot tlie ioet, 'My
mind to me a kingdom is.' No round
man or woman that is, no one who is
complete by mastery of himself need be
vexed by the question. Those whose
success Is Inward and spiritual, who find
it in habitual elevation of mind, in de
votion to the obvious duty, in perfect
Hospitality to every generous tnouglit,
in sympathy with every aspiration and
eilort for 'soul liberty.' in converse with
good books and music and pictures, in
tlie faith of a soul of goodness in things
evil no longer waste their substance in
riotous living, but have come to them
selves, and for them the father lights up
tlie palace and summons the neighbors
10 ieast and rejoice, ior ne mat was dead
is alive again, and for it is not a para
ble of sex she that wa3 lost is found."

A Womax op Good Taste. You
see this lady turning a cold eye to the
assurances of shopmen and tho recom
mendation of milliners. She cares not
how original an article may be, if It be
ugly, or how recent n shape, If it bo
awkward. Whatever laws fashion dic
tates, she follows a law of her own, and
is never neninu it. tsnc wears very
beautiful things which people generally
suppose to be fetched from Paris, or, at
least, made by a French milliner, but
which as often are bought at the nearest
town and made up by her own maid
Not that her costume is either rich or
new; on tho contrary! sho wears many
a cheap dress, but it is always pretty.
and many an old one, but It is always
goon, jane ueais in no gauuy contusion
of colors, nor does she affect a studied
sobriety; but she either refreshes vou
with a spirited contrast, or composes
you with a judicious harmony. Not a
scrap oi tiuseior trumpery appears upon
her.
She puts no faith in velvet bands, or
gilt buttons, or twisted cording. Sho is
quite aware, However, that tlie garnish
is as important as the drcs; all her in
ner borders and beading are delicate
and fresh; and should anything peep ont
which is not intended to be seen, it is
quite as fit as that which is. After all.
there is no great art cither in her
fashions or lier materials. The secret
simply consists In her attention to her
station, nor age, aim ner ngure. And
no woman can dress well who does not
attend to these points. After this, we
need not say that whoever is attracted
by the costume will not be disappointed
in the wearer. She may not be hand
some nor accomplished, but we will an
swer for her being even-tempered, well
informed, thoroughly sensible, and a
complete lady.
Core Fon Daj;dkoff. Good, mild
soap Is one of tho safest remedies, and
is sufficient in ordinary cases; carbonate
of potash or soda is too alkaline for the
skin. Every application removes a

your hands after washing them with it.
Borax is recommended; but this is also

In the mineral kingdom the best remedy

with the sulphur, and the clear liquid

PROPERTIES, ETC.:
It contains an Active and Volatile Principle,
extracted by Ether, and a bitter T.mt
clple.
MEDICAL PROPERTIES AND USES:
It is the most sure and speedy cure for
Rheumatism. Rheumatic Gout and Rheumatic
Pains of all kinds that was ever Introduced Into
the Materia Medico. The UNK 'WEED REM
EDY, as prepared by us, In consequence of the
existing bitter principle, possesses the neces
sary virtue of being a
l?o-vcx-liil Tonic,
Promoting tho Appetite and Invigorating the
whole Digestive Appuratus, thus building up
and strengthening the system, while at the
same time the volatile principle, being ab
sorbed In the blood, acts specifically on the
Rheumatic Poison, removing it from the circu
lation and system.
There are lew remedies known to the Medical
Profession which will remove the Rheumatic
Poison rrnm the blood, but whose action Is so
powerful In denressii,.; the system of the al
ready enfeebled Rheumatic patient, that their
uso has to lie abandoned before specific effects
are obtainable, and hence the want or success
in treating this prevalent nnd consequently
heretofore Incurable disease. Unlike, these.
