Boots IJMer ihe B Miss Lydia Vv Lite had two lo Tom Green and Willie Jone?. Both were good-looking, well young mechanics, and both lovec devotedly, if their own vehemeu sertions conld be credited. I was in something of a di lem ma corning them. Slie had no particular prefei for either of them, but sho want be married sometime, aud Mr. "V was opposed to long courtships, Aunt Jane kept assuring her tba bed and table linen would got y< by being packed away in the bi so long ; and she always took free opportunities of saying "that of her girls ever was single after had reached the age of eighteen not a minit!" And as Lydia counted her ; four more than 18, of course this te:- insinuation of Aunt Jane's deeply. Lydia turned the matter over ou.-ly in her mind, argued it pro con which she should take. Grce Jones. She was in some, degree ronn and had indulged in gorgeous dr of marrying a seeond Napoleon ; courage, in fact, if there was quality that she admired in a ma was bravery. . t When she said anything about in the hearing of Tom or Willie, bogged her to put them to the ti they would joyfully die for her ii stood in need of such a sacrifice, assured her over and over again. On Sunday evening, as indeed frequently the case, Jones and G b'>tn happened to call at Ly about the same time. Lydia went out of the room a nine o'clock on pretence of bringi book of engravings, but she sh( returned in great perturbation. " What is it ? What is the mati ciied the two lovers in a chorus " OJ dear rn: !" sighed L\ "such a dreadful, dreadful th Who wuuld have thought it in peaceful community ! Oh. Mr. Jc Mr. Green! You cannot think glad-hov.- relieved I am that are here. I should be frighten ec death were it otherwise!" And clung first to one and then to other with a confidence perfectly fatuating. " Tell us what it is ?" cried Gr "Enlighten us as to the ? of this emotion," said Jones. . had been to the Chicken Va Academy two "quarters," and i some large words, " Oh, you are both so brave !" ed Lydia, admiringly; "I feel it' I were protected DJ ah army! Green drew himself up to his height, which was just five feet, ? il must be confessed that beside Herculan Jones he looked lik? Bantam rooster beside a Shanghai " Command me !" said Green, "o let me know your bidding ?" " Ask my assistance," said Joi " and it, shall be given as free as streams give water to the sound ocean !" " Hush ! for pity's sake," s Lydia ; " he's up stairs in the sp room! Under the bed ! Father I a hundred dollars paid him yesterc for a cow, and this is a plan to J the house. 1 saw his boots stick i from under the counterpane." " Good heavens! cried Gre getting behind Juries. "And such big boots, too," si Lydia " twelves I am sure !" "Jupiter! what a giant he mi be?":said Tom. " Tom ! oh Willie ! protect mc cried .Lydia, pathetically, and th both protested they would shield 1 with the last drop of their blood. " Then go up stairs and seize t villain," said Lydia. " You had letter go first," sa Jones, ,:1-don't know the way." "I will show you the way," sa Lydia. " Xor I." said Green, " and you' the biggest : it belongs to you to lei on.' And the two gallant young mt r luctant?y followed her up staii & :o opened the door of the spa chamber softly, and they saw tl boots very distinctly a most e: treraely dirty pair of cowhides, whic J"> iced as though their owner ha tramped through twenty miles < swamp; and made no acquaintanc wah rags or scrapers afterward. " A-mighty big man he must b with such a pair of feet," said Jone .. Hadn't we better call your fath? a..a Mr. Barry, the hired man?" .. I think wo had," said Gree timidly. .. I don't," said Lydia, decidedly {t:. : e! I believe the boots arc mov ing. Oh, goodness me !" And, as she. screamed, Jones am Green simultaneously made a rus] for the chamber door. Jones stum Wed over a wash stand and wen headlong to the foot of the stairs wash stand and all. -ind Lydia, bj clint lng ?o the skirts of Mr. Gieen" cost, kept him from following hi rival. uWhat in the deuce is to pa] here?" asked Jack Barry appearing on the scene in his shirt and trowsen an<l his light carly hair standing oui all over his he?.d, Hice the bristles oft lamp chimney i'rush; .

" I'm the owner, and here I've been hearing this terrible noise for the last ten minutes, and thinking there was a fire over on the corner. But not a sign of my boots coul 1 I find. Who put them there, Lydi-v ?" " But Lydia was bathing Barry's nose Green and Jones had sense enough to see that they were DE TEOP, And they took their departure without any elaborate farewells. "By jinks," said C:een to Jones, on their way home. " Iv[e got an idea; it's my opinion that jade of a girl put theia boots there herself, on purpose to try us." "Of course* she did," said Jones sulkily; women are as deceitful as the devil " ?-^ 4^-. - A thoroughly honest man will not lie-gpyea.to his dog, or in any way betray the brat?*s" confidence". ~~~ j BT Dt R.DURISOE. :? ?fe......

THE COTTON MANIA.-The Sout ern agricultural press, though sui ciently reactionary and oppoced the political reconstructive policy Congress, still sees the necessity foi social reconstruction. A great effo is being made by these agricultur oracles to overthrow the; reign King Cotton. The Helena (Arl; Chronicle has a slashing ' article < this question, in which it complai that the result of all their preachii agpinst cotton is that everv year larger area is planted of this decei ful crop. Several years ago, at Planters' Convention in! Mississipj it was resolved that they would on plant during that season seven acr to the hand. Each member of tl convention went home with the fr belief that his fellow member wou adhere to the resolution, but resolv? to disregard it himself. An euo mous crop of . cotton was raised, wi little corn or other feed crops. Tl consequence was low priced cott< with high priced provisions. Tl farmers of the Northwest, of cours like such a policy, as it opens a oro table home market for their producl The mule raisers of Kentucky lil it, as the stereotyped agricultur system of the South offers no comp tition to their own specialty. Sin the close of the war the conservatio old, stiff habits of the Southern fa mers and planters seem to be makii a determined offort to keep out s ideas of progress as a badge of Ya kee superiority. The result will 1 that these farmers will ultimate sell out or be sold out by the sheri This thing cannot go on forever. Washington Chronicle. THE RADICAL DIVISION of LABO -An attentive observer cannot b have noted how much at variance tl actions of the Radical party in Soui Carolina, are with the insincere utte anees of the Radical press. It is n difficult, however, to solve the myst ry. A solemn agreement exists b tween D. H. ? Chamberlain and tl two Radical papers, of the one pai and Speaker Moses and others, of tl other part, that they, the said D. I Chamberlain and the said radical p? pers are to do the fair talking, tl virtue, the morality, and the religio of the conspirators, while the rest i the party do the stealing. This what they call " the division of labor This is Radical "political economy, -Fairfield Herald. No Rome No home. What a misfortune How sad the thought !

Practical Jokes. A French auditor of accounts ii the seventeenth century was a grca' practical joker all his life, and ever played a trick after he had lost th( power of enjoying ir, for he left foin candles to be carried at his funeral which had not been burning fifteen minutes before they went off as fire works, When a lady condescends to a prac tical joke it is generally a very neat one. M. Boncort, the rich financier, was very stingy to his wife in the mat ter of pin-money. One day a lady, closely veiled and very anxious not to be recognized, called upon him and borrowed a large sum, leaving her diamonds as a pledge. It waa his wife. The French thieves som etimes used to steal so funnily that even their vic tims were half inclined to pardon them. The duke of Fronsac, nephew of Marshal Richelieu, was coming out of the opera ono night in a splendid dress, embroidered; with pearls, when two thieves managed to cut off his coat-tails. He turned into his club, where everybody laughed at him, and so he found out what had happened, and went home. Early the next morning a well-dressed man called at the Duke's hotel, and demanded to see him at once on a matter of the most vital importance. Monsieur de Fronsac was awaken ed. "Monsieur," said the visitor, "I am an officer of police. Monsieur, the Lieutenant of police has learned the accident which happened to you yesterday on leaving the opera, and I have been sent by him to request you to order the coat to be placed in my hands, that we may convict the offender by comparing it wtth the mutilated tails." The dress was given up, and the Duke was in raptures with the vigi lance of the police ; but it was anew trick of the rogue who had stolen the tails, by which he possessed himself of the entire garment. -1-- ?^>i?-?

Like dollars good women are hard to get., hard to keep, bothersome to look after, but here is a conundrum. How can we get along without them? -Pomeroy s Paper. Brevities and Levities. - A Troy man who recently was paid $1,500 insurance money on some proper ty that was burned, visited a gambling den the same day, lost more than half tho amount, and ever since has been wishing his house had not burned. - The Ku-Klux clamor raised with so much din and noise throughout the coun try by the Radicals, is intended to divert attention and scrutiny from their own party, just as tho thief, pursued hythe crowd, hall?os thief the loudest of any to escape detection and arrest. - Never say anything to a lady about her dress and appearance. Sensible girls despise flattery, and no girl is sensible enough to teke criticism graciously. -One o'-clodk' in .the afternoon and eight o'clock in the evening are the most fashionable hours for church wed dings. - An " Improved-Nursing Apparatus" j is advertise*. We don't believe the old way can be improved much. There are some things that were about complete at the beginning. -He that has never known adversity is but half acquainted with others or I himself. Constant success shows us but ono side of the world.

Mother: "Dear, dear, where did you learn that?" Three-year old, sing ing : " Dat what my muzzar said." - "Henpeck" is the name of a post office in Alexandria county, Illinois. It does a small business. Tho males avoid - There is a colored man at Knoxville, Tenn., that earns five cents occasionally by standing barefooted on a hot stove. Every time he does it they telegraph to the Tribxine about how the Ku Klux compel colored people to stand on hot stoves at the imminent risk of their lives. ?* Centralized Despotism." An article in favor of "Centralized Despotism," which appeared yesterday in the Press of this city, derives signifi cance from the late relations happily and profitably established between its propri etor and the military President aspiring to renomination. There is an official stamp now to what it utters, and every dry it is trying the public temper, and the temper of the Republican parry, with suggestions more or less veiled, for the establishment of military despotism. Against this the Democracy aro a unit. But it is also just to say that a very large portion of the Republican party have not utterly deserted the principles that the ' name implies. Radicalism and despotism are now synonymous terms, but daily we receive encouragement, from Republican sources, to fight with unabated, courage tho great battle for free, constitutional government. The whole of the P.. publi can party have not yet been brought or bought to prefer tho will of a Ulysses S. Grant to the recorded wisdom of all the great patriots and statesmen bf Europe and America, who handed down to this generation the principles that are embo died in tho Constitution and the laws of this free, Federal Republic. Tho Press wakes up suddenly to the faot that States' rights, which it fondly thought defunct, aro alivo yet. It says : "The dogma of States' rights, which wo hail happily thought defunct, is being revived, and the commonality dazzled with lucid expositions of tho Constitu tion at the hands of learned lawyers and . recondite editors." Yes, the doctrine is "alive and kick ing," and may yet kick out of office some who flatter themselves with hopes of a life tenure of it, under a consolidated despotism. It is cherished by those whom our aristocratic contemporary calls 'i thc commonality." The fling at lean:* ed lawyers, who still sustain Suite rights, is no doubt intended for the Supreme Court of the United States. One of the recent decisions of that tribunal was in the important case brought up to it by a Judge in Massachusetts; and the Su premo Court of the United States affirm ed, in tiri? emphatic language, tho judg ment already given lu tho court below, that tho tax was " unconstitutional."

Many a haman being has passed away ftp whose death there wasno other reason than toe neglect or known and indisputably proven mean? or cure. Those near and dear to family and friends are .sleeping the dreamless el amber into which, han they calmly adopted _ _ DB. JOSEPH H. S CHEW CH'S BIHPUB . . . TBEATMEXT, m ? and availed themselves of his wonderfully: effica cious medldnes. they would not have fallen. , Or. Schenck has In his own case proved that wherever sufllclent vitality remains, Goat vitality, by his medicines and his directions for their nae, is Quickened into healthful vigor. In this statement there ls nothing presumptuous. To the faith of the invalid ls made no representation that ls nota thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. The theory of the cure by-Dr. Schenck's medicines ls as simple as lt ls un falling. Its philosophy requires no argument It ls self-as suring- self-convincing. Tie Sea-weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two weapons with which the citadel of the malady ls assailed. Two-thirds of the cases of con sumption originate In dyspepsia and a functionally disordered liver. With this condition tho bronchial tubes "sympathize" with the stomach. They-re spond to the morbific action of the liver. Here then comes the culminating result/and the setting in, with all its dJstresslnp symptoms of CONSUMPTXOW. _ The Mandrako Pills are composed of one of No ture's noblest glfts-the Podophlllum Peltalum. They possess all the blood-searching, alterative properties of calomel, but, unlike calomel, they "IE A VE WO HTVSG' BE?I^I*/? Th? work of euro ls now beginning. The ylHated and mucous deposits in the bowels and tn the ali mentary canal are ejected. The liver,, like a clock, ls wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. The stomach acts responsively, and the patient begins to feel that heJs getting, at last, . . A StJPPXiT OF GOOD BIVOOB. ' The Sea-weed Tonic, in conjonction with tho Pius, permeates and assimilates with the food. Chylln catlon Is now progressing without Its previous tor tures. Digestion becomes pal nies?, and the cure ls seen to be at hand. There ls no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach. An appetite sets In. MOW comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by an Indulgent father to suffering man. Bchenck/s Pulmonfc 8yrop comes In to perform Its functlous and to hasten and complete the cure. It enters at once upon Its work. Nature can not be cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired and diseased' portions of the lungs. In the form of patterings,.lt prepares them for expectoration, and Io 1 in a very short time the malady is vanquished, tho rotten throne that it occupied ls renovated and mode new, and the patient, In all the dignity ol re gained vigor, steps forth to enjoy the manhood or womanhood that was . < GI VEX UP AS EOST. The second thing ls, the patients must stay In"a warm room until they get well ; lt Ls almost impos sible to prevent taking cold when the lungs are dis eased, but lt must be prevented or a cure can not be effected. Presh air and riding out, especially In this section of the country, in the fall and winter sea son, are all wrong. Physicians who recommend thai course lose their patients, if their Innes are badly diseased ; and yet, because they are in the house they must not sit down quiet; they must walk about the room as much and as fast as the strength will bear, to got up a good circulation of blood. The Salients must keep in good spirits-be determined > get welL This uss a great deal to do with the appetite, and ls the great point to gain. To despair of cure after such ovldenee of lt? pos sibility in the worst cases, and moral certainty in all otner3, ls sinful. Dr. Schenck's personal state ment to the Faculty of his own cure was In these modest words: ? Many years afro I was In the last stages of con sumption : cou tined LO my bcd, and at ono timo my physicians thoughtthat leonid not Uvea wcekr then, like a drowning man catching at straws, I heard of and obtained the preparations which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. .It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter in my lungs, and I would spit up more thanaplntof offen sive yellow matter every morning for a long time. "As soon as that began to subside, my cough, fever, pains, and night-sweats all began to leave me, and my appetite became so great that lt was with difficulty that I could keep from eating too much. I soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh ever since. " I was weighed shortly ofter my recovery," added the Doctor, 'unen looking like amere skeleton ; my weight was only ninety-seven pounds ; ray present weight ls two hundred and twenty-five (223) pounds, and for years I have enjoyed uninterrupted health." Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional visits to New York and Boston. He or his-eon. Dr. J. H. Schenck, Jr., still continue to see patients at their Oillce, No. 15 North Sixth Street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 SK to'3 Ku.r Those who wish a thorough examination with the Besplrc meterwlllbe charged $5. TheBesplrometer declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable or not. The directions for t? king the medicines are adapt ed to the Intelligence even of a child. Follow these directions, and kind Nature will do the rest, except ing that In some cuses the Mandrake Pills are to oe taken in Increased doses; the three medicines need no other accompaniments than the ample instruc tions that accompany them : First create appetite. Of returning health, hunger ls the most welcome symptom, when lt comes, ns lt will come, let the de-pnlring at once be of good cheer. Good blood nt once follows, the cough loosens, the night-sweat ls abated. In a short time both of these morbid symp toms are gone forever. Dr. Schenck's medicines are constantly kept In tens of thousands cf familles. As a laxative or pur gative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard prepara tion; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a cureof coughs and colds, may be regarded as a prophylactic against consumption in any of Its forms. Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Sea-weed Tonic, 11.50 a bottle, or $7JO a half dozen. Mandrake Pills, fe cents a box. For sale by all druggists and dealers. BJTOHN F.
