STEVENS: Dear Sir.-I wish to give you this testi mony, that you may know, and let others know, what Vegetine has done for me, About two years ago a small sore came on my leg; it became a large Ulcer, so trouble some that I consulted the doctor, but I got no relief, growing worse from day to day. I suffered terribly; I could not rest day or night; I was so reduced my friends thought I wonid never recover; I consulted a doctor at Columbus. I followed his advice; it did no good. I can truly say I was discouraged. At this time I was looking over my news paper: I saw your advertisement of Vege tine, the "Great Blood-Purifier" for cleans ing the blood from all impurities, curing Humors. Ulcers, &c. 1 said to my family, I will try some of the Vegetine. Before I had used the first bottle I began to feel bet ter. I made un my mind I had got the right medicine at last. I could now sleep well at nights. I continued taking the Vegetine. I took thirteen bottles. My health is good. The Ulcer is gone, and I am able to attend to business.- l paid about four hundred dol lars for medicine and doctors before I bought the Vegetine. I have recommended Vegetine to others with good success I always keep a bottle of it in the house now. It is a most excellent medicine. Very respectfully yours, F F. AN~THO-NI. Mr, Anthoni is one of the nioneers of Delaware, 0. He settled here in 184. le is a wealthy gentlemen, of the firm of F. knthoni & Sons. Mr. Anthoni is extensive iv known, especially among the Germans he is well known in Cincinnati. He is re spected by all. IMnuRE BLooD.-In morbid conditions of the blood are many diseases; such as salt rheum, ring-worm, boils, carbuncles, sores, ulcers and pimiles. In this condition of the blood try the-VEGETINE, and cure these affections. As a blood purifier it has no equal. Its effects are wondertul. VEGETINE Curod Her. DOECHNWER, MASS., June 11. DR. STEVENS: Dear Sir,-I fefl it my duty to say one word in regard to the great benefit I have received from the use of one of the greatest wonders of the world; it is your Vegetine. I have been one of the greatest sufferers for the last eight years that ever could be liv ing. I do sincerely thank my God and your Vegetine for the relief I have got. The Rheumatism has pained me to such an ex tent, that my feet broke out in sores. For the last three years I have 1.ot been able to walk; now I can walk and sleep, and do my work as well as ever I did, and I must say I owe it all to your blood purifier, Vege. tine. MARGERY WELLS. VEGETINE.-The great success of the VEG ETINE as a cleanser and purifier otthe blood is shown beyond a doubt by the great num bers who have taken it, and received im mediate relief, with such remarkable cures. VEGETINE Is better th'an any MEDICINE, HENDERSON, Ky., Dec., 1S77. I have used H. R. Stevens' Vegetine, and like it better than any medicine I have used for purifying the blood. One bottle of Vegetine accomplished more good than all other medicines I have taken. THOS. LYNE, Henderson, Ky. VEGETINE is composed of Roots, Barks, and Herbs.

Four people finishing a game of lawn-tennis, and as many em looking on with a kind of lazy in terest. On either hand shady shrubberies, bordered with bril- .inC .in liant flower-beds; at the end of the lawn a little brook; in the dis to tance the long sweep of the Cots- 91 wolds. "Fifteen," counts Captain Hall, he triumphantly, as a vicious stroke day of Gerald Sorthwick's racket Y01 drives the ball beyond bounads. Fri suc Gerld has played badly through sue out. almost in silence, with a or grave face and compressed lips. It does not matter. for his partner, Maud Conway, has exchanged with Captain Hall enough merry badinage for a dozen people. The young lady is nettled now at an "L ignominious defeat. Frie "I could wish you victor in a she better contested fight, Captain his Hall." she "it is my highest ambition, i Miss Conway." There was noth ing in the words, but the mean- w ing, and lo.w bow gave them sile point. Maud bit her lips, and she Gerald threw down the racket, in his face a little sterner than be- w fre. She turned to him, an an- con gry glittering in the violet eyes. "Your play has been wretched, gSw Mr. Sorthwick; it was never the worse. For the future we dissolve the partnership." bes "Can we? can we, Mand." He a fi speaks meaningly now, and it seems strange her name can come hal with such tender inflection from sav so hard and firm a mouth.gr "'Maud' to my friends, sir, get 'Miss Conway' to you."' He leaves her, and saunters in to the sh.rubbery, following a lit- the te winding path until it reaches o the brook. Then he throws him- fac self at full length upon the soft, moss, and thinks better things of the girl who has befooled him. Ge: Half an hour later there is a rus- sac le among tho boughs, and he but sees her in the act of retreating. hi[ "I am sorry I disturbed your slum bers, Mr. Sorthwick, I thought Ha you were gone." So, "You disturb my life, Maud, hit waking and sleeping. Come here." He spoke with such command a she instinctively obeyed, but her whole soul rose in rebellion. It was s. novel experience to the mc spoiled and petted beauty. an He pointed to a low, rustic seat, ac and she took it. As though toTI measure strength, they look into Y0 each other's faces-his pale, de- ha termined ; hers passionate, resent- 7 ful. Then Gerald turns his head no away, lest resolution should fail. h His tone is low, but full of fierce, bl suppressed energy : "You have not played with my fai love for months. Maud, without ga learning what it is. It comes be- an4 tween me and all other chance of Ge happiness."in He pauses afew seconds, where- is in she plucks a wild flower, and bal picks it to pieces. Sweet and 5q9 pensive she looks now, and un- me wontedly thoughtful ; but his eyes I ar on the distant hills, in From time to time, when I alid have spoken, you silenced and I thought it girlish coy s. You made me believe you 3d, Maud." f only he would look now, and how the girl's mobile features wer the sorrowful wails in his ,e ! But he does not. I saw you flirting continually, it was your nature, and I did mind, for I thought you gave more. So you fooled me as fooled others." Fortune-hunters, all of them," broke in.

L contemptious curl of the lip phasized the words. laud started as though they [ stung her; her hasty temper 6rms immediately. By what right do you venture criticise my friendship, sir ?"

UJp I down the graveled walk paces raid Sorthwick, moodily smok a fragrant cigar. On the air >orne a sound as if an irregular is solo, varied by the occasional ieak of shriller stringed instru :t deotes that haif a mile off, the little town of Sorthwick, an archery ball is being held. The committee, in view of his father's recent death and his own social ruin, had decided not to send the customary reminder; but Gerald, with a poor man's morbid sensi tiveness, misinterprets the kind ness. With an impatient move ment, expressive of'disgust, tosses away the half-smoked cigar. It alights on the soft turf of a small 1o croquet-ground and lies smoking. ti Then with a curious smile, he p crosses and picks it up carefully. 1] "I had forgotten myself," he ti mutters : "the last of the box, and h a brand I am not likely to taste c, yet awhilo." So, with the cigar between his ti teeth, he passed through the gate, fj and across green meadowland to- b ward the town. aj The music grows distinct as he h approaches. j "I. think I am wise," he reflects c, bitterly. t] The cigar burns close to his s, lips; he spits it out and hesitates. t1 "I must see her face, once," he tj groans,"myvow notwithstanding," a and as the church clock strikes o ten he stands in the black shadow d of some trees, looking across a ] bowling-green at the great doors a: of the Assembly Rooms, to which 6 heated couples come from time to 01 time to inhale the soft, pare air, r, and perhaps draw inspiration from tj the moonlight. At length he sees b her, leaning on Captain Hall's t< arm, and laughing gaily. h A bitter imprecation rises to his h lips, but he suppresses it. "Are you content now, stupid ?" he c4 asks himself, d A bird twitters on a bough near him, and by force of subtle asso- n ciations, in strange mockery, the x recollection comes bow he had ri once startled Maud by a -per- a feet imitation of her dove's a cooing; it was when they were most friendly, before Captain a Hall's advent. h It shall be your signal when a you want me, and I am talking to disagreeable people,'.' she had said. i~ He wondered whether she would a remember the incident, and a wish grew upon him to try the ex-s periment.b Thbey had ceased talking, Maud a and her partner, and were gazing a straight toward him; but there i was safety in the shadow, he b knew.a "Coo-o-o!I" A soft note, thrice a repeated. He saw Maud start violently, o and tremble. Captain Hall though t C it was with cold. 1 "The night air is too chill," he r said ; "let us return." "No, I cannot leave the moon light; but you may fetch my n wrapper, if you will be so good." The watcher beneath the treesr saw him vanish; saw Maud's y gloved hand pressed to her heart, i as thbough to still its beating. Then a he marveled for a moment whether i sight iwre playing him false,'for e. a white figure glided towards him through the moonlight, heedless 1; of the dow that soaked flowing t robes and satin slippers. "Gerald !" it cried-. He drew her into the shadow. o "Say good-by to mc, Maud." There was a gtreer tremor in the voice. "Good-by ?" she asked, wonder- . igly. "I leave England to-morrow. Will you not bid me good-by, my a lost darling ?"i Captain Hall appeared in the door way at that moment, search ig with great astonishment forc his partner, but they were happily y unconscious of the fact, for two bare arms were around Gerald's t neck and a sweet voice was whis- e perig: "Love-love will you not stay, .e for my xake ?"1 So it came to pass that "Gerald Sorthwick, tea trader, China," re mained a myth only. Providence has no Sabbath. No 12 night suspends it; and from itsp labor God never rests. 0 True happiness costs little ; if it a: be dear it is not of good quality. nx He that can compose hiniself is si iser than he whoncomposes books. n FoR THE HERALD. ROADBRIMIS PARIS LET TER. NO. 15. One of the most peduliar features f this Exposition is that just about ie time you imagine you have ex ored its wonders pretty thorough r; you suddenly come upon a sec on that you have never seen or eard of before, and wonder how it >uld possibly have escaped you. I commenced rdy tour of inspec on on the first day of May. In ct, I was pretty familiar with the ailding some weeks before that, ad yet, during the past week, I ave seen things which have filled te with wonder to think that I >uld have wandered about through ais Exposition and never have en them before. As you cross 2e magnifice4t bridge which spans e Seine between the Trocadero ad the main building, a number f beautiful stractures lie imme iately to the right. The little 'rincipality of Monaco has raised a elegant little Oriental kiosk and ied it with ceramics and curious bjects of art. You will doubtless collect that it was to this place ie gamblers went when they were anished from Baden-.13aden, and )-day it is the great gambling ouse of Europe. When I first eard of the Monaco exhibit I ex ected to find faro boxes, packs of rds, sweat cloths, roulette tables, ice boxes; and you may guess my urprise to discover one of the' .ost beautiful exhibitions of cera .ics in the entire Exposition, sur >unding fountains and flowers, ad other objects of beauty and 't. Beyond the exhibit of Monaco, is special exhibit by Spain, and jusO ere let me say that Spain has made magnificent display in a number F other departments. The build g of which I am now going to eak is the Spanish exhibit of ines, and remarkable as it may em, is composed exclusively of :ttles. The building is quite large iad imposing, only a little distance if a party of wild Arabs fresh from e. desert sands lay easily about eneath the shadow of their tents, d looking as we imagine 1shmael tust have looked, the first born of brahamn. Entering the door at ce you are dazzled by a scene of riental splendor*; gorgeous pil rs of glass and arches of chrystal ise before you, flashing and littering with millions of colored ghts. The arches and pillars are odeled after the grand palace of e Aihambra. You turn to the, ght or the left and, multiplied by 1ie chrystal reflectors, you look iarough long avenues of beautiful ches where the li'ght, multiplied a ionsand times, flashes and breaks diamond coruscations till you el that you are standing in fairy nd. Over your head hang multi des of glittering stalactites of the urest white, of the. brightest of rystal and of the most emerald reen, purple, yellow, violet .'and tultitudes of shades for which art as not yet found a name, add to the onders of this enchanting palace. ou have been inspecting this mar ellous building some time before ou begin to realize that you have nly been looking at bottles. Pil rs of wine, roof of wine, walls of Tine and floor of wine,--wine, wine, iine, everywhere : Hock, sherry, ampagne, Port and Xeres de la 'rontara, the wine of the city of 'aradise. As a specimen of archi ectural genius it has excited gen ral wonder, and even among this ssemblage of works gathered from very portion oi the globe, this un iue exhibition of Spanish wines as been considered one of the Arvels of the Exposition. In the United States department, [most hidden by displays of shin g teeth and tempting jewelry, aper fashions, patent tins and iodel post offces, is a little ease 'hih you might pass unnoticed, d yet which deserves something iore than a passing mention.

For I must te you that it has been a favorite pr< ject with the designers of this EM position. to familiarize the publi with the habits of salt water fist On a former voyage to Cape Hor: I was fed on salt cod for a perio, of five weeks, and I was anxious t know the habits of the fish.

The thermometer stood som< thing below a hundred, but cheere by the fact that I should have th Aquarium all to myself, I asked th officer on guard to direct me. J ran something like this: "Prenez gauche, allons, arretez une second a droite ; tournez, allons, allons, a Ions." Straight as astring, Isaid, I' go it, and off I started. I doubled, twisted, I went to the right an the left, inquiring of every one th way to the salt water Aquarium. did not care about sharks, pcrpoise and such small deer. I wanted t catch a whale.
