HELEN'S BABIES. I With Some Account of their Ways. It wafe an enticing invitation from n y only married sister, Helen Lawrei ce, that moved me, Harry Burton, salesman of white goods, bachelor, aged twentyeight, to spend my fortnight's vacation at Hillcrest. Torn Lawrence's cigars and claret and horses, a splendid flower garden, plenty of handsome girls, and unlimited leisure for reading?these were the inducements offered me. Incidentally, as Tom and Helen were to be ab sent on a visit, t was .just to Keep an eye on the children, who, I was assured, would not give me "the slightest trouble." * R membering Budge, the elder, as a boy oi rive, with a serious, noble face | aiivi great, pure penetrating eyes, anil TxlJ: as a happy little know-nothing of three ?n:muers with a hea l of tangled y ]! w hair.

' Obediently I showed them,the dial of my three-hundred-dollar timekeeper. "Want to sliee wheels go wound," ' said Toddie. "No," said I, fearful of dust.

Madly I snatched my watch from my 1 pocket, opened the case, and exposed ! the works to view. The passing carriage 1 stopped; my name was called, and, ' looking up/ I -8aw?bright eyed, fair 1 faced and smiling?Miss Alice Mayton, a lady whom for about a year I had adored ! from afar! The ease with which she ' greeted me, praised?actually praised ! ! 1 those dreadful children; and let me dis- ! cover that a bouquet from the Lawrence ' garden would be an acceptable offering, converts mv confusion into delight. ! When the carriage started again, Toddie 1 murmured : j 44 Ucken Hawwy, does vou love that lady?" 44 No, Toddie, of course not." I 44 Then vou's baddy man, an' de Lord won't let you go to heaven if you don't 1 love peoples." You may believe I was glad to get 1 th >sc children home and turn them over { to the girl! At dinner they found fault with my blessing, and taught me the one j their papa, says. Then they condemued : my version of Jonah, and Budge gave 1 one certainly much more graphic. And finally, after requiring me to say my 1 prayers first, that performance, too, wa^ i ' boldly criticised. Bu Ipe prayed wi'h 1 a face fit for an ang 1, and then Tod-i e c'ose.l his eyt-s, wriggled, twiste , breathed hard and at 'ast began : " Dee Lord not piake rae sho bad, an bedi mamma, an' papa, au* Budgie, an' do?pitv (graudf. ther), an' bo'li boggies (graad u ?t!ier), au* all good people in dish hou-e. an* everybody else, an' m* oily. A-a-meu!" "Now give ns ^candy," said Budge, ech >ed by Toddie. I gave them the candy and escaped at last to the parlor, where I passed a de- i licious evening with ray books. That night Toddy howled for his dolly like a young demon, and made me get up and | find it f ?r him; and next morning, before j lie was fairly awake, I was appalled to 1 hear him murmur: " Want?to?shee wheels?go? , wound." . At breakfast he remarked :" " Ucken Hawwy, davsli an awfoo 1 funny chunt up 'tairs? awfoo big chunt. 1 I show it you after brepspup." "Toddie's a silly little loy," said Budge; "he always says br*p<pupfor brekbus (breakfast)." "Oil! what does he mean by chunt'j Budge ?" " I guess he means truok." ' A direful thought struck me.

To my surprise he brought it ba?k, and Toddie, shrieking with delight snatched it and exclaimed : 44 O'l, darsh my dolly's k'adle ! Some- * body put nasty ole flowers in it ; I froed | 5 "e n away !" Opening the box he displayed?that ! ( infernal doll! I viewed him so sternly j th it he took refuge in sobs, wept plenti- i fully on my shirt front, and murmured : ( 441 wantsh to love you, and wantsh v you to love me." Who could resist ? I petted am] kiss- ' ed him tilt he was consoled, and resumed his sovereignty, with the infantile command : 44Kisli my dolly, too." ( I obeyed, but closed the interview ab- ' ruptly/and wrote the best apology I could frame to Miss Mayton. The next day was Sunday. In the c morning those boys invaded my bed to I c, 44 fwolic " and 44 wide horsie backen," I c and I sadly learned how it was that mv ! brother-in-law had grown so flat chested. : j Iu the afternoon we tried the 6tories ' ! again, and Toddie told, with the most j ' spirited gestures, how 44 Dave, let ze sling go bang bequeen I BliatTs eyes, an' knocked him down , ] dead, an' Dave took Bliaff sword an' I sworded BliafFs head off. an' made it all j j: bluggy, an' Biiftff runned away." j 4 Then Toddie " runned away," and got himself stung by a hornet, and rushed | n, sobbing: ' Want to be wocked. Want shing ' Toddie, boy, one day.' " And I hud to rock him and sing, line by line, after Badge, some absurd little doggerel about a basket, beginning : " Where is my little bastik goneV" Said Toddie, boy, one day. When he was soothed, those chil Iren beguiled me out to a treacherous muddy hrookside, in eareh of jacks-in-the-pulpit ; Tod die tumbled in, and so Mid Budge, and in pulling them out I was most horribly spattered! Hurrying home, a carriage overtook us with ladies in it. Could it be ??of course it was ! ; ?Miss May ton herself! " You seen to have been having a real good time together," said she, as the j carriage passed. "Remember, you are all going to*rall on me to-morrow afternoon." And so we did, Toddie bearing an ex-; piat 'ry bouquet. The children raced oft t > watch a grasscutter, and I sat down j t > a delightful chat with Miss Mayton. ! Men were scarce among the summer I hoarders at Hillcrest, and somehow tl.< j piazza gradually tilled with the ladies oi ! me 11 ,u>f. ouuuuuij H o .mi ii trora the lawn ; T ddio bad pinched ]iis iugers " u Hie bttle wheels of the cut e ,tw," and rus'ieU up to me, sobbing 44 Sag, 1 T ddie, boy, one oav.'*' Mv blood seemed to freeze, but wh u Buog;* t x .'l i ned that 44 lie always wants that soug when he's hurt," all the la li?-6 urged me, and I wrathfully picked Todd e up and hummed the detested air. But the little tyraut was not satisfied, and successively required me to 44 sit in a woekin' chair," to "sing the words," and to " sing louder," till at last, before that audience and her, I was obliged to sing that dreadful doggerel, line for line, as Budge repeated it. My teeth werset, mv brow grew clammy. At last I heard some ?one rtlhsper : " See how lie loves him ! Poor man ! he's in perfect agony .over the little fellow." But the agony was a prelude to a most unexpected rapture. An apprehensively i accepted invitation to dinner, wlier? Tod- j ilie titled his soup over Miss Mayton's j ilress, led to a twilight tctc-a-tctc, which I Budge interrupted by informing the lady:: " Uncle Harry 'spects you, Miss Mav- i ton." * * j The little rascal had, that very morning, j demanded to know whether I didn't ! " love" Miss Mayton, and accepted with suspicion my assurance that I " respect-1 3d" her very highly. Now, before I: jould stop him, he continued: " Only what he calls 'spect, I calls j love." Tiiere was an awkward pause?some-1 thing must be done. ! " Miss Mayton," said I, " Budge is a j narplot, but a truthful interpreter. I"? j 44 When I loves anybody," observed j Budge, 441 kisses them." j Miss Afavton cave a start. She did , ?T?^ O , not speak ; she "was not angry. Could j it be that? ? I acted on Budge's sug- j ^estion, once, twice. She raised her i bead and I saw that Alice May ton had mrrendered at discretion. Then Budge i md Toddie came in for a share of the j iisses ; two or three ladies appeared, i ind I calmly said : " Come, boys. Then I'll call with the carriage at three to-morrow, Miss May- { ton. ^lood evening." I shall not tell you what I thought or j lid during that interval, except that I ; bought my angelic nephews everything i they wanted, beginning with candy and ; ending with a goat and goat carriage. J Nor shall I say a word about my ride j with Miss Mayton, except that it was , suddenly interrupted by a runaway goat and two boo-liooing boys; and that night Budge prayed: " Dear Lord, bless just lots that lovely, lovely lady that comforted me after the o;oat was bad to me." The next day was wet and those children led me a terrible life ! Their only real comfort was Jonah, or rather, the 4 whay-al," a picture of which Todlie tenderly caressed, murmuring: " Dee old whay-al, I loves you. I j links 'twas weal mean in Djonah to get froed up when you hadn't noftin' else to eat, poor old whay-al !" And Toddie amused himself for some time with a bisr box for a whale and si i lead mouse for a Jonah, till a mishap occurred which he mournfully announce*, by saying: " Djonah bwoke he tay-al!" The next morning, I got a letter from Helen, iuelosing one to her from Alice May ton, from which I learned that 1 uig.fc attribute the sudden success of m* <u t to Miss Mayton's " seeing that a ma * ho could be so lovable with thoughtless and unreasonable children must b? j erectly adorable to the women he y.ni." I have not time to tell you how Budgt revealed to stately Mrs. Mayton the relations subsisting between her "little girl " and Ins "Uncle Harry," or how that awful Toddie disclosed our secret to the ladies of Miss Mayton's acquaintance by solemnly declaiming some "Lines to Alice" he had heard me relrearsing in the garden; or how the same Toddie swallowed a " whole bottoo full" of paregoric, and was hurried to the apothecary's with such wholesome results that he reported to his brother : " Budgie, down to the village I was a whay-al. I didn't free up Djonah but I froed up a whole floor full of uwer tings." Tom and Helen came home in due i time, and at lunch that day toasts were j lrunk to " Her " and to " the makers of : the match?Budge and Toddie !"

Coughing in Church. The attendants of churches where xmghing is liable to be followed by j critical remarks from the minister, should know that coughing is not such a necessity as many imagine. It partakes nf the nature of a habit. There is no ie?d fcr coughing at every little irrita:iou in the throat. You will be surprised m making an effort to suppress your Jouzh to see how little cougning you can jet along with. Were a man to stand j hreatening you with a club or pistol , mil offering to blow your brains out at i te tirst cough you would fiud that the vili power is most efficacious in suppress:ig these bronchial insurrections. A j French surgeon used to say whenever he 1 altered the wards of the hospital: 44 The irst patient who coughs will be deprived >f food to-day." And very few then i ' mglied. J)r. Brown-Sequard says that ' mghing may be prevented by pressing >n the nerves of the lips in the neighbored of the nose, by pressing in the ; neighborhood of the ear, and by pressing rery hard on tfie top of the mouth.

MARRIED IN THE DARK. ! A Mirhuinn Matrimonial Mystrry?Four ( for a itririr ivhnsc Second lliilul CVrriiiony was Arrnni;cil in Accordance with the Will of her Hear Departed. About twenty years aero there liveil in central Michigan a curious ohl Boned ck named Doilsworth. At the age of lifty he married a girl of twenty, and when the burden of sixty years bore him down his wife was only half his ago. Doilsworth was noted for his peculiarities, but the climax came when lie found himself on his dying bed. He was . worth about $30,000, and he hadn't sv blood relative living, so far as lie knew. He wanted to leave his property to his ( wife, as the pair had lived very happiiy, but yet he could not leave it without displaying some of his peculiarities in the provisions of t^e will. Some old men .lu.O.ii. .1 cmrll \vl>rm mftHllfr flic'r t.lir'lJiti.y lutiiu * ?-?p wills and ilraft in a provision cutting the wife off with a shilling, if sh * marries again. This old man wasn't of that stamp. His young wife was good looking, vivacious, fond of society, and it was folly to suppose she would mourn : for her "late departed" any great j length of time. There ore Mr. D>?dsworth turued heel on the usual custom and said in his will : "Iu case my wife Celia does not take j ;nt > herself another husban I within til rteui months from date 01 mv buna all bequests otherwise made in this will are to revi rfc to the State of Michigan, to j be used for building and furnishing a h >me for old women." Whether Celia was pleased or displeased at this provision deponent saith n >t, but the old man had not been under the sod more than six months when the ; w dow was said to be looking out for auother man. If it was singular for the dying Dodsworth to urge his wife to marry again it was still more singular j that he should desire the ceremony to be performed under the following cir-. cumstances, viz. : " And it is made incumbent 011 said Celia Dodsworth that in taking a new husband the marriage ceremony shall be performed in the big barn on my farm, on the II road. It shall take place at ten o'clock in the evening, on the main floor, without lights of any description, with all doors shut, and a - 1 111 A _ 1 _ 1 1. . .11 tree invitation snau oo exienueu 10 mi. The clergyman shall stand in the stables ; and the bride and groom 011 the main floor, aud the principal parties to the ceremony shall be dressed in black throughout." The widow announced her intention ; to faithfully obey in spirit and letter, the will was probated and the t waif 111 month had scarcely passed before she , issued an invitation for the public to attend a wedding at the big barn. Just who the groom was to be uo one could positively assert, as the widow had been keeping company with 1 a widower', a bachelor and two young men, and as far as any outsider could j judge she loved one as well as the other. Being good looking and talented and having a fortune behind her, it was not strange that she should have a number of suitors. She seemed to enter into the spirit of the affair with great zest, as also did the minister ; and to further mystify the people in attendance the bride entered the barn alone at one door, the groom aione at another, and no one knew that the minister had arrived until his voice was heard in the stables. There were at least two hundred people present, and each one under-! stood that even the striking of a match would break the will. Many jokes were | passed and considerable confusion ex-; isted, but at length the minister announced that all was ready. The ceremony was gone through with, and at; its conclusion, the affair having been a "profound success," a rush was made | for the bride ; she was kissed by a hundred men, ami was then carried home, i a distance of a mile and a half, in a big arm chair. Now comes the mystery. When the ladv was set down at her own door the widower, the bachelor and the two young men each claimed to be her true and lawful husband. None of the crowd could say who was the lucky man, the minister was at sea and the bride herself seemed to have doubts. The widower was the man of her choice, but in flie confusion he could have been hustled aside, and he did affirm that an attempt was ma le to choke him and get him out >f the barn. The bachelor vowed that ? she had promised to marry him, as also did both young m?n, and each was sure j that he held the vidow's plump hand and was legally married to her. The four I men had a fight, 1 ut that didn't meud matters. The cr.?wd ducked two of them in a creek, but that didn't decide the question. . Just how it would have terminated had n >t the widower been a man of nerve no oue can tell, as the other three had alrea ly appealed to the law, when the widower stepped in and took his place as ; husband and settled with the others for $2,000 each. One of the young men, now over thirty years old, and having all the wjfe he : wants (she weighs 230 pounds), is living in Jackson, Mich., and, during an interview had with him, he solemnly and earnestly assured the writer that he was legally married to the Widow Dodsworth that night in the big barn. Another of the parties lives in Clinton county, and he has time and again asserted that he is the woman's true and lawful husband, so help his God. The bachelor is dead, but were he alive and kicking he would leiew his oft repeated protes tations: "I married her, by gum!- and, by gum, I ought to have her !" Sowing on Horseback. Numerous as have been the instructions of late for preserving the almost "lost art" of sowing graiu by hand, there remains one mode that has escaped mention, 1 which, when mentioned, will probably be derided bv those who have not tried it. I allude to sowing on horseback. Sulky rakes, sulkv rollers, etc., are regarde 1 as useful contrivances for the saving of human labor ; but none of ? frfc MOVA vuur uuaespi'uuruio app u im.w thought of making the horse perform the labor of walking, and carrying seed bag and sower to ami fro across the field during the operation of sowing the grain. And yet, after a long experience, the writer has fouud that he could distribute seed grain more regularly from the saddle than on foot, and with far more ease and comfort?as any good seedsman will find after a short practice. Grass seeds, however, being lighter than graiu, are best sown on foot.?Country Gentleman. And That's All.?They have a "citizens' movement" in Pittsburgh, Penn., an I it was all going 011 very, smoothly till one man got up in the meeting and askel: "Ain't T nominated for mayor?

' Sonic of tlic Results of the lllne (ilnin* Treatment. The excitement over the l>lue glass cure in Providence, K. I., has not been excelled anywhere else. The local papers have daily reports regarding the results of the treatment. We select the *-..n?. luiiuttiug iiuiii iuc i rwo Mr. Henry O. Wood, bookkeeper, in Win. A. Wood's pork packing establishment, corner of Washington and Battery streets, lias been afflicted with rheumatism for several years. The attacks came on at irregular periods and contined him to the bed for weeks at a , time, and for one whole winter he was unable to get out. Medicines gave him but slight relief, and when the disease seized him he felt there was no escape ; from the torture except after weeks of pain and careful avoidance of the least exposure. Recently the dreaded disease attacked him in the shoulder, arm anil loot. He hail previously inserted six panes of blue glass in the office window, and he at once prepared for a bath. The foot was exposed to the combined rays of the white audf blue light for an hour, when tiie pain and soreness disappeared. On the following day the pains left his shoulder and arm, and for the first time he had driven the disease away within forty-eight hours from the time it seized lnm. and within twenty-four hours from . the time the treatment was commenced. Mr. Suuuiel J3oy<i, an aged gentleman who Jives at 72 Pearl street, has been afflicted for over two years with weakness of the limbs, resulting from heart disease, ami during the last year his right foot became useless, dragging on the floor when he was assisted to and from his bed to his chair. The use of 1 both limbs was very much impaired and ! latterly he had 110 control over them. He i had three panes of blue glass placed in a west window. A sulficient trial has not, been given yet to ascertain whether he ; will be permanently cured, but the good effects, thus far, after ouly two or three days bathing, convinces him that he will regain his strength. He is able, while sitting in his cliair, to swing his legs at will in any direction as easily as he ever did. All lie lacks is sufficient strength to bear the weight of his body (being a very portly man), to enable him to walk as formerly. His ^rength is returning slowly, and one person instead of two can now help him from his bed to bis easy chair. One peculiarity in his case is that he cannot bear the bath for any considerable leugtli of time, not being able to remain under the rays but a few minutes at a time. As his strength increases he is enabled to prolong his stay in the bath. In this case, as in most of the others, the bath produces drowsiness, and unless the pain is intense, the patient drops off into a peaceful slumber. Mr. Boyd's limbs were entirely useless for three weeks previous to taking tiie baths, and obtaining control of his limbs sasoon may be considered very remarkable. The progress .of the treat ment of heart disease in this case will he watched, and it is to be hoped that the aged sufferer will be jjermauently bene-; fited by the treatment. Mrs. H. S., who lives at No. Bridgham street, has been taking blue sun baths for a chronic difficulty during the past two weeks with remark- . able results. She had been und^ the j treatment of physicians for months, but no relief had been obtained. She continued to grow worse and worse, and had to be assisted by her husband from the bed to her chair. The husband prepared i a window with blue glass, and the sufferer began to grow stronger and is now able to walk about the room unassisted. . She feels a great deal better and believes she will ultimately be cured. . A number of florists, horticulturists and gardeners are experimenting with blue glass, but sufficient time has not elapsed since the commencement of the trials to deternune what will be the result upon vegetable life. Mr. Henry Randall, of Scituate, furnished a portion of his house with blue glass, and to give the theory a fair test lie planted two beds with tomato seed, under exactly the same conditions, where one would receive the. combined white and blue ravs and the ! other the ordinary sunlight, The plants ynder the blue light germinated and i made their appearance first, and to-day those under the blue glass are more than j tliree times larger than the others and have healthier and more sturdy stalks. Mr. Randall is couvinced of the effect of the blue rays upon plants, and will ar- ! range blue glass throughout his hot houses. Blue Glass in Chicago. . , Are there "blue glass" devotecsin the metropolis ? asks a lady of Chicago, and then she goes on to say : Across the ! way from my room, which is in the heart of the city, stands a five-story brick block, nameless here, a fashionable tenement house. Uj) in the fifth story is a window composed of alternate blue and white. The first day of my arrival here being a bright one, I noticed, in addition to this, in several of the other windows squares of the azure transparency in gilt frames, either suspended by cords or held in the hand. I was looking at it curiously when a voice in the next room ?which, by the way, is occupied by a j couple of medical students?said: "By i Jove ! 4 blue glass' in the upper left hand corner." Raising my eyes to the window containing the strips, I sa %v what? A lady, very much en deshabille sitting directly in front of the said window ; and then I saw before all these squares either man, womau or child.

A little further on a glazier's sign read : "'Bjae glass,' all shapes and sizes, cheap." The newsboys screamed : "Daily papers! All about the 'blue | glass'cure." Desperate at last, I purchased a paper and hastened home, determined to solve the riddle if possible. I found a column headed " Wonderful cures poformed ; neuralgia cured in ten minutesand all by " blue glass." So i the mystery was solved, and at the rate our city papers are multiplying cures, th? physicians will have to remove their signs and go to some vast wilderness where " blue glass " cannot penetrate. ( His Club Life. After Commodore Vanderbilt joined the Union club and heard in the season, i j tiie talk of its most voluble members i turn upon yachting he used to say that some day he would show them how to sail a boat bv taking the slowest yacht in the squadron and winning a regatta j cup. After thus bantering the nautical enthusiasts for several years he fulfilled his pledge, chose the Edgar yacht Cornelia, that had never approached a prize, and beat the whole squadron in the East river by his masterly management of the sluggish craft, standing at the helm from | eleven a. m. until dark, when he brought i her in a handsome winner.

I hereby certify that I have had Catarrh for tenyeara, and for the last six years have been a terrible sufferer. I was rendered partially deaf, had i buzzing In the head, pains across the temple, dizzy spclls, weak and palnfhl eyes, swollen and ulcerated tonsils, hard and constant congh, severe pain across the chest, and every Indication or consumption. My head ached all the-tlme. The matter accumulated so rapidly In my head and throat that I could not keep them free. Frequently at night I would spring out of bed, it seemed to me, at'the point of suffocation. 1 would then have recourse to every means In my power to dislodge the mucus frotpmy tflyoatand head before being able to sleep again. For a period of six years my tonsils were ulcerated and so much inflamed that I could with difficulty swallow. 1 finally consulted an eminent surgeon In regard to an operation on them. out at ms request postponed it. j lie cousinni mua nnation and ulceration lu my throat, caused by t!i<poisonous ms ter dropping down from my hcatl. hiul so Irritated ai-.1 inflamed my lungs that I coughed Incessantly,? auTtp, bard cough, ileanwhlle nfysvsrr.n 1 began to show .be effects of this disease, so that I lost flesh, grew pale, and showed every symptom of nil early death by consumption. When mature had reached this stage, or about six months ago, I began the use of Saxford's Radical Cure for Catari it. After using the first bottle I began to improve rapidly. The first dose seemed to clear my head as I had not known It to be lor years. It seeic .d gradually to arrest the discharges. It slopped my cough in three days. By using it as a gargle I soon reduced the inflammation and swelling of my tonsils, so that they soon ceased to tronble me. 1 tie soreness across n y chest disappeared, the buzzing noises In my bead ceased, my senses of hearing and of serjog were completely restored, and every symptom of disease that had reduced rae to the verge of the grave disappear! d by the use of Saxford's RadioalCurr for Catarrh. [ have been thus explicit because, as a druggii t. I have seen a great deal of sotferlDg from Catarrh, tui hope to convince many that this is a great remedy. I am famlliarwlth the treatment of Catarrh as practised by the best physicians, and have consulted ti.a most eminent about my case. I have used every kii.d of remedy and apparatus that have appeared during a period or six years past, and have, while following their use, taken great care of my general health, but obtained no rcller or encouragement from any of them. Since curing myselfwltiiSAxroaD'sRADiCALCvm:, I have recommended it in over one hundred cases without a single case offallnre.and have In numerous instances received wholesale orders from partii s to whom I have sold one bottle.
