My wife, lifty-six years old, had come by degrees to "a slow sundown. Doctor failed to benefit her. I got a bottle ol Hop Bitters for her, which soon relieved her in many ways. My kidneys were badly affected, and I took twentj or thereabouts doses, and found mucc relief.

Peasaut Life in Bengal. 4 ' The daily life of the peasant in Bengal - - India, is a series of pictures il Arcadiai . v simplicity. At daybreak the wholi li >uechold is astir. The iucn arc off to th Ik-ids the women arc busy with th cows, or ir the huts or courtyards Sometimes the men come home to thei midday meal, and sometimes it Is car ried to them in the fields. At sunse the labors of the day are brought to i 0 close. A mat is spread in the courtyard and the men sit aown cross-legged am smoke their bubble-babbles. Occa sional.y they pay visits to their neigh bors. or neighbors drop in and join ir the smoking. The conversation is nearly always th< same?the weather, the bullocks, th< crops, and the cows; the plowing, harvesting, sowing or irrigating. But money is always the burden of their talk?rupees, annas and pice?the Zeminder's rent; the interest paid to the moneylender; the cost, loss or profit of every transaction connected with the larm 01 household.

They see deity in everything that exists, and omens of good or evilin everything that moves. If they meet a cow, - ' or a vedding, they rejoice over their good lortune; if they see a widow or a funerai, they are downhearted at their ill luck. They engae^ in no business, or - * journey, or transaction of any kind, without a prayer to the goddess Likohimi, or an invocation to the elephantheaded Gnnesha. Every family, or group of families, has its own I'urohita, or domestic Brahmin, who performs endless ceremonies of propitation, consecration 01 purification at births, deaths, marriages. fauts, festivals, religious celebrations and family incidents of every kind.

In the fourteenth century, tne situalion of public executioner to the city ol Florence became vacant, and as it was a place of considerable emolument there were three candidates. A daj was appointed for public display ol their several abilities. The first candidal, with a knife, cleverly separated the head of the victim from his shoul . ders. He was outdone by the rapid htrvke of the second, whose glitterinj broadsword struck terror into the hearts of the surrounding multitude. Th< third and least promising, held in his hand a short hatchet, and when the victim was extended with his head on th< fatal block, approached him, and in ? low whisrer inquired if he was a swifl runner, and if he could swim wel1. Or v 4 being answered in the affirmative, hede sired him to spring on his feet and cross Vr". the rive r. The executioner then puttin* on tierce look, f-wung his weapon round iiia henrt hut instead of making it de scerr.t on the devoted creature's neck, st ruck it with great force into the block. Sliouts of execration rose from the ?r.jwd, and the trembling wretch, as... tonished at his wonderful escape, had 1 ? ,li<i nnnnoita Konir nt fchp ' ;* iifttujr ^lucu i iic vpyvo*w w ?? itver before any steps were taken to pursue him. He had scarcely, however, Kone ten yards on dry land, when tbe ' xecutioner, taking steady aim, tbrew f . the hatchet with such effect that the body continued running some time after the head was off. From this r.i her improbable incident, tbe common phrase of throwing tbe hatchet is said to be W--' : ib rived.

"I suppose young Guy Cheevers , would console you for my loss," said r Mr. Maddox, grimly. i " At any rate, I don't care. I will end I my troubles and sorrows to-morrow at > twelve D'clock." > And with these fearful words, he i strode out of the room, leaving Lizzie . sobbing, with her curly black head resting on a dinner plate. " What's the matter now, Bess? Has the milliner disappointed you in the ' love of a bonnet?" asked a warm, hearty voice, which was the property of " youn? Guy Cheevers," as Mr. Maddox I called "him?as that gentleman strode r nto the room. 3: "Oh, Gus," sobbed Lizzie, "Uncle . | Cyrus is going to die to-morrow at j ! welve o'clock." t " How do you know?" asked Guy. t "He said so." " Knfc imw does lie know?" " He's going to kili himself." f i " So as to make himself a true prophet, f 1 h?" asked Guy, laughing. I j "Oil, Guy, don't joke!" cried Lizzie. t ' tearfully. "He will; I know he will." .1 "I doubt it,"said Guy, skeptically, i 1 "But he has tried to commit suicide several times," persisted Lizzy, tearfully. " Once he tried to smother himself with burning charcoal, but he forp got to stop up the keyhole, and I smelt . the smoke, and got some neighbors to ' break open the door and save him. [ Then he tried to hang himself, but the . cord broke,'and he tired a pistol at him' self, but he forgot to put any ball in it, so that failed, and then?" "Gracious!" cried Guy, as Lizzie stopped for want of breath, " what a determined man he must be. Such perseverance deserves to be rewarded. " Have you any idea what plan he will 1 try next?" "I'm sure I don't know," said Lizzie, * mournfully. "Something dreadful, I r suppose-1' { "But what ooes he want to make I away with himself for?" asked Guy, wonderingly. "Why. he says, he .is a miserable ' man, a burden to every one, and that . life has no joys for him, and that he is weary of this world?" " a n/i an rr-nnld Htp tn trv the next?" said Gay. 4' Perhaps he won't find it as pleasant as the one he is quitting. What an unreasonable man he must be. He is rich, talented, healthy, and has a very pretty niece "?here, in a momenl of abi straction, he allowed his arm to wander 7 around Miss Silver's waist?" and wh.it B more can he want? But some people 1 never are satisfied. It seems he is dec termined to pry into futurity, and it seems a pity to disappoint so laudable : an ambition; but duty? duty to myself compels me to inter/ere. I dislike t scandal or excitement. A corner's jury j would cause both, therefore we mus B balk his little game." e " But how will you do it?" asked Liz s zie, curiously. "A prudent gpnerat," said Guy, r haughtily, "never cr?nlides his plans to . his army, particularly when that army t is of t he feminine gender?so excuse me; t mum's the word; but rest assured, my , dear Elizabeth, that unless your worthy j uncle stiuflles off this mortal coil in a . surreptitious manner before twelve . o'clock to-morrow, he will not do it i afterward?of course, I mean, illegally. Farewell till to morrow." ; Having concluded this address, Guy ? strode off in a tragic manner, leaving . Lizzie ereatiy surprised, but still quite r reassured, for in her opinion what Guy . could not do was not worth doing, i The next morning Mr. Maddox made his appearance very saturnine and r gloomy, and ate his breakfast with a mournful air that was terribly impressive. Having finished eating, he then . took leave of his niece in a feeling man' ner. "I am about to leave you," he said, mournfully. "I am about to put an end to this miserable life. I hope that you may ever be happy." '"Oh, don't go," said Lizzie, tearfully ! clinging to him and looking up into his face pleadingly. -It's useless," said Mr. Maddox, firmly. " My mind is fixed, and nothing you may say can persuade me to relin quish my purpose. But you, my dear Rhilrl. shall tint, hp unnrnvided tor. 1 intend to make my will in the few Hours tbat are left me, and you will not be forgotten. Gnod-bye, my dear child? , farewell!" and then, after embracing his niece fervently, Mr. Maddox rushed from the room frantically and securely lacked himself in his own room, and , began to prepare himself for his last ! journey. "Nine o'clock," he said to himself, lookme at bis watch. "Three hours , yet. Enough to do all I have to do. j i'irst, to make my will." t The last will and testament of Mr. Cyrus Maddox was evidently not a long i one, as it was finished in an hour. "Eleven o'clock," said Mr. Maddox, "and I have finished. How slow the } time passes, toi be sure. Now what 3 shall 1 do until twelve o'clock, for I am ; determined not to die until noon?" i A knock at the door. > " Go away," cried Mr. Maddox, ani grily. " You can't come in." t "I am very sorry to disagree with i you," said a voice outside the door, I " but I can come in. I have a duplicate r key here, and if you don't open the door I will." Mr. Maddox rose and unlocked the door savagely, and Mr. Guy Cheevers walked into the room, carrying an obf long box under his arm. 1 He placed the box on the table and > then took a seat opposite Mr. Maddox !, and stared blandly at him.

" I'll keep it myself," said Mr. Maddox, rouzhly. " Then just leave a memorandum on the table," said Guy, earnestly, "to tell whero it is. It will save trouble, per naps. "Get out,1' cried Mr. Maddox, an grily. "Ah, I see," said Mr. Ciieeveri, coolly, " in a hurry to begin. Well, I won't detain yon, but I have a little suction to offer." 8JP? " It is this," said Guy.

"But I have a groat many more to j1 show you," remonstrated Guy, "and J you see I want you to try as many as * possible.

Guy. f ' I think it's all right," said Guy, grinning. "Get the luncb ready. lour f uncle is all right. He'll be down." And sure enough he was, and though s he spoke not, he ate mo3t voraciously of l every thin . " Lizzie," said he, suddenly, after an hour'p pause, "did you ever see an infernal old fool and an idiot?" "Never, that I know of," said Lizzie. * "Why?" e " Because, just look at me, and you'll see one," said Mr. Maddcx, grimly, and he stalked upstairs. Up to the present time of writing Mr. | Cyrus Madaox is still alive, enjoying good health, and he seems to be on J friendly terms with Mr. Cheevers and 1 his wife Lizzie. Hi probably forgave s that gentieman on account ot a discovery that he made that the nitro- 8 glycerine torpedo contained nothing more dangerous than salt, and the / other "internal inventions" wee in- t fernal in about the same ratio; but Guy : sti!l maintains that when a person is weary of life they should cease their t troubles by scientitic suicide. j = ? The Codfish?A Fable. i a ntie hac xcrs sailing around ( XX twuuou .. O J in search of some one who might be inclined to a religious dispute, when he same across a clam. That was in the days when codfish put on a heap of airs over the clam tribe, and this particular fish stuck up his nose at that particular ; clam and began: 41 Here you are, grubbing away on tins ame old sand-bank for a living, while ! I have journeyed over a tho usand miles ! in the last four weeks." i "I am quite content," replied the i clsm, ' I am rather near-sighted, slow i on foot, and iiature did not intend me to travel far. Neither of us make more than a living, and I am satisfied if you are." " Yes, but you have such an outlandish shape," sneered the cod. "Why, there's neither head, nor tail, nor legs, nor arms to you. Your eyes are scarcely to be seen, and one little grin for a cent would split your whole face open." " My eyes are plenty large enough to see that no two fish in the ocean agree," tartly replied the clam, "and, stvine this, I have no cause to smile. What you say about my form is true, but I make good chowder, for all that, and I have no bones to trouble the throats of humanity." " Well. I'm thankful that I wasn't born to begin and end my days in a sand-bank. I go everywnere. I take in all the free lunches. Small fish fear mo, and big ones can't catch me. JJJee how I glide around." The cod took a circle arouni" to show cfl", stood on his neaa, nourisuea ms t tail, nnd then asked: " Can any of the ciam lamily do halt v of that?" " As I said before," quietly replied the clam, " we were not cut out for either orators or acrobats. What I can do I try to do well. What I can't do I let alone and don't worry over." t At that moment a fish-hook nicely baited dropped down between them. s " Now, if you only had a little more f mouth you could get enough at one s gulp to lost you ail day,'' remarked the t cod, as he eyed the bait. " As it is, you s may stand by and see me take in that t banquet. Just see what mouth will do ^ for one in this world." t lie opened his mouth, made a dive for s the bait, and was about to wink at the c clam with his left eye when he was sud- t denly pulled out of the water and landed j in a boat. ^ "I think," mused the clam, as he y closed his shell, ' that it is a great deal r nicer to be a clam on a sand-bank than j, ii cod in a tish-boat. but I'll be open to t argument next flood time."

The s? udden blanching of a head of hair is requently causeci by severe nervous hocks, and numerous historical and ni raditional cases may be cited in which p uddon Icav or overwhelming news has iei urned the hair white in a few hours. ?D ?he case of Marie A ntoinette is one of Dc he most tender and touching, for in a ingle night her rich dark linir was hanged to a silvery-gray. A sepoy of I he Bengal army was taken prisoner in ca 858, and the fright he received caused bi lis hair to become completely whitened dii rithin half an hour, the change being so qu apid as to cause his captors to exclaim, rei a astonishment: " He is turning gray!" H, Jnder the influence of fear or any great mi aental shock the blood recedes from the er; urface of the body to the heart, and it da 3 supposed the same influence may pe ause the coloring fluid of the hair to se( etire to the root-bulbs where it re- th aains thereafter. Gray hair has been hi. :nown to become dark without the pu hemist's aid.

It enough that the number of pennant cures ranges from fifty to eighty r cent., while others are largely bene;d. This seems to be about the state the case in the treatment of drunken3s. There may be cases enough in rich the vice or disease has been inrited from the second or third genetK>n, or in which the nervous system s become so utterly shattered that thing can restore it. This stands to ison. But in other, and it would seem e majority, of cases, either there is especial appetite for strong drink, or en, it this appetite amounts to a pasmate craving for it, there is still 3uch sasis ot physical ana morai power w .ild upon that by a few months' treat?nt a man may again become his own ister. A Strange Fact. The thinker finds various things to eculate abont while passing through e. It is singular that man, the biped, the only animal that requires ammeent. No other animal on the face of e earth is driven to the base expedients which man is compelled to resort for version. Man, the pleasure-loving ped, must needs kill time; and, if the iminal law were to select out of the uraerera tnose wno commit crime lor e sake of something to do, it would be and that a vast number ot innocent ctims were used a3 mere wax dolls or immies, and that the actual and purged victim was poor old Time. Why e time of these human beings should s created and given into their hands erely for them to kill is a tbing which e Creator thereof can alone explain.
