STEVENS: l>ear Sir,-l hav- been a great sufferer from dropsy. I was coliiud to my house more than a year. Six months of the time I was entirely helpless. I was obliged to have two men hell) me in and out of bed. I was swollen 19 inches laiger than my natural size around my waist. I suffered all a man could and live. I tried all remedies for Dropsy. I had three different doctors. My friends all expected I would (ie; many nights I was expected to die before morn in At la2t Vegetine was sent me by a frend. I never shall forget the first dose. I could realize its good effects from day to day; I was getting better. After I had taken some 5 or 6 bottles I could sleep quite well at nights. I began to gain now quite fast. After taking some 10 bottles. I could walk from one part of my room to the other. My appetite was good; the dropsy had at this time disappeared. I kept taking the Vege tine until I regained my usual health. I heard of a great many cures by using Veg tine after T got out and was able to attend to my work. I am a carpenter and builder. I will also say it has cured an aunt of my wife's of Neuralgia, who h4d suffered r more than 20 years. She says she has not had any neuralgia for eight months. 1 haye given it to my children for Cancer Humor. I have no doubt in my mind it will cure any humor; it is a great cleanser of the blood; it is safe to give a child. I will recommend it to the world. My father is 80 years old, and he says there is nothing like it to give strength and life to an aged person. I can not be too thankful for the use of it. I am, Very gratefully yours, JOHN S. NOTTAGE. ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.-If VEGE TINE will relieve pain; cleanse, purify, and cure such diseases, restoring the patient tQ perfect health after trying different physi! cians, many remedies and suffering for years, is it not conclusive proo,- if ypn are 4 sufferer you can be cured? Why is this ined icine performing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid It can truly be called the Great Bood Purifier. The great source of disease originates in the blood; and no medicine that does not i act entirely upon it to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention. VEGETINE I OWE MY HEALTH TO YOUR VALUABLE VEGETINE, ' NEwPORT, Ky., Apr. 29, 1877. MR. H. R. STEVENS: Dear Sir,-Having suffered from a break ing ont of Cankerous Sores for more than five years, caused by an accident of a frac-. tured bone, which fracture ran into a running sore, and having used every thing Scoul think of and nothing helped me, un til I had taken six bottles of your valuable medicine which Mr. Miller the apothecary recommended very highly. The sixth bot le cured me, and all I can say, is that I owe my health to your valuable Vegetine. I Your most obedient servant, ALBERT VON ROEDER. "It is unnecessary for me to enumerate the diseases for which the VEGETINE should be i used. I know of no disease which will not admit of its use, with good results. Almost 4 innumerable complaints are caused by poisonous secretions in the blood, which can be entirely expelled from the system by the use of the VEGETINE. When the blood is perfectly cleansed, the disease rapidly y'eds; all pains cease; healthv action is promply restored, and the0patient is ured." VEGE TINE Cured me wheni the DOCTORS FAILED. CINcINNATI, 0,, April 10, 1877. KR. H. R. STEVENS: Dear Sir,-I was seriously troubled with Kidney Comlaint for a long time. I have consulted the best doctors in this city. I have used your VEGETINE for this disease,I and it has cured me when the doctors failed to do so. Yours tiuly, ERNEST DURIGAN, Residence 621 Race St., Place of business, 5.73 Cent.

"None knew ier but to love her," as the poet ;ays, and old Farmer Moore was >roader of his one daughter, than )f all his lands, and well he might be. This summer Jeanie bad come home from boarding-school for ood, and the old farm rang with ier clear- bird-like tones as she lew from room to room, leaving iokens of her dainty womanly )resence everywhere. Young Dr. Lowell had been a )oarder- at the farm for three ears. When he had first seen reanie she had been a little win ing girl, quite willing to be taken yn the grave young man's knee, and talk thoughtfully as he and er father talked. But now things were quite dif erent, and as Howard -Lowell watched the graceful form crown d by the lovely flower-like face, nd each day saw the pure, un ~elfish nature unfold more and nore, he grew to look upon her n another light, and to think bat it would be very sweet to iave that blooming face grow nore bright at his approach than it any other. So the days went by, and al hough no words had as yet >roken the sweet silence, the two young hearts were knitting fast ogether when any story opens. eanie had changed from a shy, )ushing school girl into a beauti 'ul self possessed - maiden, con cious in her inmost heart of be ng loved, and of returning that ove. One evening as they all sat round the cosy tea table. little red, Jeanie's brother, bounded nto the room, full of news whbich ~vidently seemed very important ,o him. "Oh, father the big house has een :bought !" Now the "big 2use," as Fred called it, was the 2ouse of Groveland. High u pon a 21l1 it towered in its gray stone tateliness above all the rest of he village. It had been unoc uied for many years. "Well, I'm glad of that," heart ly exclaimed Farmer Moore. "It's , shame so much fine property hould have gone to wreck and uin so long, when it might be made such an ornament to the illage. Do you know who has bought it, Freddy ?" "Yes, sir, it is a widow lady named Almer, and she has two :aughters." Dr. Lowell here gave a sudden start, which caused Jeanie to glance over -at him, and to her surprise she saw he was violently agitated. His face was white as death, and with his lips parted be looked fixedly at' Freddy, as if waiting to hear more. Seeing his emotion attracted at tention ho hastily rose and with out speaking, left the room. Jeanie's interest in Freddy's news- was en tirely lost in her won derment over Dr. Lowell's strange demeanor. It was quite late in the evening before he rejoinec them ; but when he came back he w.s as slf.nnssnssed and quiet af ever, yet there was something peculiar in his manner, and Jeanic ielt the change, although unlik6 most women she refrained from asking any questions. It was true "Waban Hall" had at lait found ocoup-nts. Mrs*Al. mner and her two daughters were pleasant and unaffected, and it was not long before the new-comers became well acquainted in tle village. After a time Jeanic called to welcome them and extend the hospitalitf of the farm, and she returned hoipe delighted with her visit. Mrs. Almer was so. kind, nd th girls, Zlla and Ruth, so charming and friendly. Jeanie talked enthusiastically for some time about her new friends, and Dr. Lowell listened to all she said eagerly. 'ftpr a few weeks, invitaLions came to the farm, for a party to be held at the "Hall." "Shall you go, little one ?" questioned her father. Jeanie looked up-at Dr. Lowell, arrd was surprised again by the odd pallor of his face. It was decided they should go, and the eventful evening arrived. The "Hall" was ablaze with light, and fragrant with the aromatic perfume of flo>wers, and as Jeanie entered the room on the doctor's arm, her girlish hekrt gave a great bound. She bad been to but few parties, and youth loves life and gayety. But her pleasure that evening was not what she had expected, and as she lay in her own little bed at home that night, and thought over her lover's bewil dering conduct, the pretty head baried itself in the pillows, and any one listening might have heard smothered- sobs. Shortly after their arrival her escort had left her, and devoted himself to Ella Almer. Not that Jeanie was neglected-that, her beauty and popularity never allow ed her to be-but she had watched with a keen eye her lover's man ner- toward Miss Almer. From their first meeting the resrve whiTh he generally held toward strangers had been want ing, and he seemed to become more and more engrossed in her society. The long walk home that evening had been taken almost in silence, and Jeanie's heart, all unused to trouble, sank very low as she thought she had been unmaiders ly in giving her love so freely, and now her punishment had come. Yet a heart once out of one's keeping cannot be called back suddenly without pain. And this was only the commence ment of her sorrow. Day after day Dr. Lowel was a guest at "Waban Hall," and Jeanie often saw him and Ella Almer riding or walking together. Farmer Moore never noticed how grave the wearisome face was growing, for with the pride of womanhood Jeanie kept her grief to herself. She had mrade up her mind bitter ly, that while she had been loving with all the fervor of her warm, impulsive heart, he, whom she ad thought so noble had only been trifling with her-testing his powers of pleasing. She avoided meeting him as much as possible, and so the time passed, until one morning as she rose from the breakfast table, Dr. Lowell eaid: "Cain you speak ivith me a little w hile, Jeanie ? It is almost im possible for me to see you alone lately." Never had his voice pronounced her name more tenderly. Was he about to make her a confidante of, his ne w found-love ? Jeanie raised her eyes quietly to his face, then answering, "Certainly," led the way to the library. She seated herself,and he, stand ing before her, - after a slight pause, began: "Jeanie, the time has come for this mystery to be explained, and I can tell you who I am." The girl's large dark eyes opened widely. '-Whbo you are !" "Yes," he said, laughingly, "I know ! I am Dr. Howard Lo 1 wll por-ti.ing physician. of Groveland ; but that is not all. Listen, and I will tell you the -whole story. "My father died when I was ten years old, leaving my mother a widow with three children. Be tween the eldest of the t.vo girls and myself there was the most. passionate attach men L--indeed, wO were all an unusually united fitall ly. But in three years my mother married again. Then my misery commenced, I cannot describe the persecutions my stepfather inflict ed upon me, whom alone of all the children he seemed to bate. Perhaps it was because of my then headstrong, impulsive nature. I was a passionate boy, and at last, driven desperate, I ran away from Aionie and my dearly loved mother and sisters. "Then for years I was driven where fate willed, working here and there at any thing, no matter how monial,'until at last fortune, in the shape of a kind old physi cian, interposed. "Dr. Lowell saw and became in terested in n4e, and when be died left me, his adopted son, his wealth, on condition I took his name and never returned to the influence of my stepfather. And now, Jeanie, comes the most won derful part of my story. "I have found my mother and sisters, at last free from the one who made my boyhood so wretch ed. Shortly after I left home my stepfather had taken his family abroad, and from then until now we have never met. "How I have longed to speak and declare myself! But, Jeanie, I feared that the prodigal who so selfisblj'left all he held dear could never be forgiven ; until last night my sister Ella spoke so tenderly and regretfully of the brother she had lost, I could keep silence no longer. I shall keep my dear adopted father's name, but Mrs. Almer, whom you already like so much, is my mother, and Ella and Ruth are my siters." Then, with an abrupt change in his voice, Dr. Lowell stooped, and raising the soft little hand which lay listlessly in the girt's lap, clasped it firmly in his3own as he said: "Can my darling wonder that my manner bas been strange and unlike myself?" The expression in his loving eyes made Jeanie flush and tiem be, and as she gathered to his manly heart she knew that she had come to the end of her great sorrow. It was -a happy evening that followed, when, in the "Hall" par. lr, the newly-found brother and son' brought tbe dimpling, blush ing girl to his mother and sisters as another claimant for their love. And right cordially they welcomed her. Old Farmer Moore was satisfied, too, for Jeanie and her husband will live with him, and the old farm will still echo the music of the blithe voice so dear to his eart. Itmis one thing to wear the figure of a cross as an ornament about the person, and quite ano ther to breathe that spirit which fnds its fullest expression in the Cross of Calvary. He who waits for repentance waits for that which cannot be ad as long as it is waited for. It is absurd for a man to wait for that which he himself has to do. Addison well says that "Envy ia tax which men must meet who become distinguished. The oak receives a lightning stroke which the bramble escapes." A passionate and revengeful temper renders a man unfit for ad vice, deprives him of his reason, and robs him of all that is great and noble in his nature. Happy is he who has lcar-ned this one thing: to do the plamn duty of the moment quickly and cheerfely, wherever and what ever it may be. All men think well of them selves, but some have a queer way f showing it. - iscIIau us. - FOR THE HERALD. BIROADBRIVMS PARIN LET TEMt NO. 12. The Grand Fete of the 30th of June---Splendid 11luminations All Over Paris---Street Scenes--The Midnight Procession-The Exhibition. A few' weeks ago I remarked that, if there was anything which a Frenchman loved it waR a holiday; we have had a good many lately, races, reviews and general jollifica tions, but nothing in magnitude and grandeur to approach the grande fete of Sunday, the 30th of June, which, for elaborate detail, was undoubtedly the grandest that France has seen in the memory of living men. For weeks past we have been holding our breatbs in anticipation of it; the busy note of preparation might be heard all over Paris, among all classes and in every quarter. The ancieng.oblesse of the quarter St. Germain are not near as enthusiastic as their com patriots of Belleville or the ouvriers of the Faubourg St. Antoine. You may briefly divide Frenchmen into two classes; one prides itself on its perfect imperturbility and sang froid, and the other flies off like a champagne cork and is never easy unless it is kicking up some kind of a row. For a day, at least, order has reigned in Warsaw. For one day there was a sort of general political amnesty declared; and for the first time in many years imperialists and republicans, monarchists and com munists, buried the little hatchet, took a whiff at the pipe of peace and on the 30th of June, Anno Dom ini 1878, have had a grand jollifi cation and a general shake hands over the bloody chasm. It was not every man, or for that matter, every woman either, who could shout: "Vive l'Empire" or "Vive la Re publique" or "Vive la Commune," but there was not a man or woman within the walls of Paris, but could say from the very bottom of their hearts "Vive Ia France !" Saturday night was a night of exceptional atprm ; the rain had fallen lightly in the evening, and towards mid night it increased to a torrent. On Sunday, as daylight broke, the skies grew clear and the morning was one of the loveliest of the season. Flags flew in every direc tion,teminding me of the morning of the opening of the Centennial at Philadelphia. Over many houses the cross of St. George was en-1 twined with the tricolor of Francei and the beautiful stars and stripes.1 Our neighbors from Japan were nowise behind with their bunting, and our Chinese cousins were ter rinc in fire-crackers and gorgeous in Chinese lanterns. The day was ushered in by salutes of artillery,the only qualification to my satisfaction being,-what may perhaps be an unjust suspicion,-and that was, that the present price of powder may have thrown the minister of war into a,nft of the most stringenti economy, for I am willing to make an affidavit that the discharge of a twenty-four pounder from the In valids, sounded like the bursting of a second class hose, and repeat ed salutes from a columbiad on the outside fortifications scarcely disturbed the litt,le birds that were cheerfully carolling on the trees. As the day wore on heavy masses of clouds rolled up from the east, and the God of rain who1 seems to take especial delight ini soaking Parisians on their holidays: and jamborees shook over them his: angry mantle and kept them in a state of threatening suspense though no rain actually fell. *The] city presented a beautiful sight. All along the grand boulevard of the B3ois de Boulogne waved the fags and streamers of every na tion ; temporary flagstaffs had been improvised among the -trees which were gay with glittering pennants; boquets of brilliant lamps peeped out from the green foliage and hung suspended in the air, and electric lights festooned like strings of pearls, stretched away for miles and miles, looking like a fairy bower encircling the Place de l.a Concorde, lighting with a blaze of glory the lovely groves of the Champs Elysees and the grand out lines of the Arc de Triomphe, It may be considered remarkable that, from the magnificent man sicns that surround the Place de l'Etoile, not a flag waved except from the beautiful hotel of Madam Mackey, the wife of the Great Bonanza King, and from the man sion of her mother, Madam Hunger ford. Madam Mackey's house was elegantly draped with Lhe fags of all nAtious, the stars and stripes floating alongside of the tricolor of France; the porch was covered with the loveliest of flowers, and the beautiful little lady's patriotism and taste made her tuansion one of the marked features of the fete. Both houses were elegantly illuminated in the evening, and a grand recep. tion given by Madam Hungerford in honor of the event embraced many of the elite of Paris. In order that the pulic might not be inconvenienced, the passage of vehicles was interdicted from many of the principal streets. No act of the present age marks more certainly the change that has- taken place in France than this. A hun dred years ago and the fellow with the blue blouse would have had to fly for his life, while mylord or monsieur le duc dashed along the street with his mounted postillons. To-day monsieur le due takes a back street because the boy in the blue blouse will not allow him on the Champs Elysees. As the shadows of night fell the main streets and boulevards be came a wild surging mass of hu man beings who seemed to spring by millions from the very ground. Parties of young men and women, with little flags stuck in their hats and bearing umbrellas hiung with < miniature Chinese lanterns, parad ed the streets, singing the Mar- i seillaise and shouting lustily "Vive i la Republique." There was a beau tiful illumination and fire-worksi at the Lakes, a concert of six hun-! dred instruments and voices in the gai'den of the Tuileries, and thei winding up of the fete was a pro cession of flambeaux, the lanterns< resembling flowers, the whole being< arranged like, a magnificent and 1 gaudy parterre of light. When the procession had passed the crowd, till then held back by the steady ] lines of the soldiers, closed on their track like a resistless torrent, made the welkin ring with shouts of < "~Vive la Republique," and so closed t the grande fete of the 30th of June. 1 The Exposition grows more in teresting every day from the grad-< aal perfection of the display and I she continual additions which are t being made. Much invidious corn aarison has been instituted between c ~he English and American exhibits,i ~omparisons which are nfair as i ~hey are unjust. In the first place i England was awarded about five I ~imes the space of any other na- 1 ~ion, and her plethoric treasury was t >pened at once to sustain the efforts 8 >f her high commission. The UJni- ( ~ed States space, on the other e aand, was circumscribed within t ~he narrowest limits ; yet small as t wvas the beggarly appropriation was 1I iot sufficient for its absolute ne- I' :essities. Besides this, there was a iot a single person, except the e Jommissioner General, who had ( aver had any prominent official con- a 1ection with any International Ex- t position before. England, on the t :ontrary, comes up to the work 3 with a corps of trained diplomats ~ mnd workers who, for this particular h usiness, could scarcely be matched s .n the- world. At the head of the s British commission stands the ~ Prince of Wales who, aside from the advantages of his exalted po sition, has had the benefit of re- a peated experience in every great 1 rair given throughout the world ' ( 3ver since the first International Exhibition opened -by his honored e father in 1851. Next. comes 'Mr. i Dunliff-Owen, a man of exceptional a administrative ability and of vast and varied experience in all the the minutest details of Interna tional Exhibitions ; but it is not only on the members of the comn- I mission alone that Great Brit sin relies for her success, but on a large and influential body of Brit ish merchants who, if not officially Connected with the Exposition, were fully as powerf;j as the com mission itself. Notable among them [ might mention Joseph Leete, the Bminent London merchant, a man whose untiring energy and ability have built up and sustained more kinds of business than almost any ther man in Europe. - Of square; solid, well built frame, with hand some face and winning manners, speaking half a dozen different lan Yuages with the fluency of a na ive, he is the perfect embodiment >f a worker; neither a painter nor a 3culptor, an orator or a writer; his ibilities pre eminently lie in vast mnd comprehensiva organization, of ready resource and unerring judg nent, sustained by an infallible and on will; having once thoroughly7 nastered his subject he ce"v brough every opposing obstacle bho hurricane cuts its track through he forest, or as the lightning leaves its pathway through the ?ir. A man whose name attached o any business gives it at once the ?restige of 'success, and who com :ines the manners of a Chesterfield vith the will of a Napoleon. It is: nen of this class who have helped Lo make the Britich sectionwhat t is,,aside from the-intrinsic ex ,ellence of the splendid exhibit it 3elf. Both the English and Ameri :an departments can now be seen it their very best; all the exhibits ire finished, and as the judges are ciow daily making their rounds, the presumption is that they are all in heir holiday attire. In the Ameri-. an department the display of agri .ultural machinery of tools, axes ind hardware is, exceedingly large ind very fine. Other nations are mtered in the race, but in this de artment the United States will, as aeretofore, unquestionably hold a listinguished and honorable place. While in mere articles of useless or aament the United States is sur ?assed by many nations, when it somes to things which may be :alled the necessaries of life,.Uncle Bam holds~ his own against the ' w'orld. The thousand little.inven ~ions which make life more tolerable -? >y lifting the heavy yoke from off - >f labors neck, are especially his lomain. It - seems strange. to see 1he Americans crossing the great )cean to enter into competition with the iron producing nation of ~urope in the productionof articles nade almost exclusively of iron, Lnd notwithstanding the low rates1 >f labor in Europe, under selling he Europeans in their own mar lets. Near the main' aisle, in the - Lmerican department, is. a large :ase representing the products of he Reading Hardware. Manufac' uringiSompany of Reading, Penn ;ylvania. It is filled with all con eivable sort of things in which ron or -bronze can be used. The ange of goods is wide-as the magination ; everything from a >ootjack to a bell pull. The mar -el about this particular exhibit is o see beautifully manufactured ~ood s got up in the highest style f art, reduced-to the minimum of ost. Here we have a good substan ial door latch consisting of six die inct pieces sold in quantities for ass than two cents. An intricate ock with its bolts, slides, springs nd key, all for five cents.
