TUTT'S PILLS are extracted from Vegetable products, combnine i them the Mandrake or May Apple, which is recognized byphysicians as a substitute for calomel, possessing all the virtues of that mineral, without its bad after-effects. AS AN ANTI-BILIOUS MEDICINE they are incomparable. They stimulate the TRPID LIVER, invigorate the NERVOUS SYSTEM, and give tone to theDIGESTIVE ORGANS,cratin2per feet digestion and thorough PaSimilatin of food. They exert a powerfl influence on the KIDNEYS and LIVER, and through these organs remove all impuri ties, thus vitalizing the tissuesof the body and causing a healthy condition of the system. AS AN ANTI-MALARIAL REMEDY They have no equal; and as aresult act as a preventive and cure for Bilious,Re iittent, Intermittent, Typhoid Fevers, andFeverandAgue. Upon the healthy action of the Stomach, depends, almost wholly, the health of the human race. DYSPEPSIA IS THE BANE of the present generation. Ij is for the Oure of this disease and its attendants SICK-E ADACHE, NERVOUSNESS, DES PONDENCY, CONSTIPATION, PILES, &c., 2 that TUTT'S PILLS have gained such a wide spreadreputa tion No RemedyV has ever been disco" ered that acts so speedily and gently on the digestive organs giving them tone and vigor to assimnlatefood.

Being uomposed ofthejuices ofplants extracted by powerful chemical agen cies, and prepared in a concentrated form, they are guaranteed free from any thing that can ijure the most del icate person. A noted chemist who has analyzed them, says STHRE IS XORE VIRTUE IN ONE OF TUTT'S pILLS, THAN CAN EE POUND IN A PINT OF ANY OTHER." We therefore say to the afMicted Try this Remedy fairly, it will not harm you, you have nothing to iose,but wll surely gain a Vigo rous Body, Pure Blood, Strong Nerves and a Cheerful Mind.

Oft I've heard a gentle mother, As the twilight hours began, Pleading with a son on duty, Urging him to be a man; But unto her blue-eyed1 daughter, Though with love's words quiw as ready Points she out the other duty "Strive, my dear, to be a lady." What's a lady? Is it something Made of hoops and silks and airs, Used to decorate the parlor, Like the fancy rings and chairs? Is it one that wastes on novels Every feeling that is human? If 'tis this to be a lady, 'Tis not this to be a woman. Mother, then, unto your daughter Speak of something higher far Than to be mere fashion's lady "Woman" is the brightest star. If you, in your strong affection, Urge your son to be a true man, Urge your daughter no less stronglI To arise and be a woman. Yes, a woman! brightest model Of that high and perfect beauty, Where the mind and soul and body Blend to work out life's great duty, Be a woman! Naught is higher Ori the gilded crest of time; On the catalogue of virtue There's no brighter, holier name. HESTERS LOVE STORY1 -0 Miss Payne was 35 if a day, but she had managed fiar better than many of those who were girls with her to keep some of the old freshness in the roses of her cheeks and the old brightness and luxuriance in her brown hair. She was thinking of old times this morning as she rolled out her flaky crusts. Fifteen years ago she had been getting ready for a picnic, just as she was doing now. But there was another in the kitchen then-a young man with a handsome face and laugh ing eyes, and she remembered how saucily he interfered with her work. and how she threatened to shower him with the contents of the flour- bowl if he didn't behave himself; and he had dared her to but her threat into execution and she had kept her word. She could see him now as he stood that morning looking like a veri table miller with his eyes fulbof mischief as he begged so humbly for her to dust it off. And she remembered, as if it happened yesterday, how, when she had un dertaken the job, all of a sudden he took .her in his arms and kissed her ; and when| she shook herself away from him she was such a sight to see, with powdered hair and snowy eyebrows and cheeks as white as any ghost's. And just then her father had come in and stopped in surprise on the threshold, looking from her to John with a twinkle in his eye. And all he had said was 'Seems to me you forget to powder a spot on your cheek, Hester,' and then he went away chuckling, and Hester had pro ceeded to brush. herself up, with sundry threats of dire retribution directed at the laughing culprit who had retreated to a position outside, where he felt himself sate from feminine wrath. And the next day the quarrel came which had set his feet in paths far away from that in which she had trod for 15 years, and in which she had expected to tread until the end. And she thought it all over this morning with a little sigh here and there. Her romance was not forgotten if it was kept out of sight of cu rious eyes. Yesterday she had heard that a new preacher was coming to the picnic. He was to preach his first sermon on Sunday, and every body said he was a 'powerful preacher.' And his nau-.e was Ashley. 'But of course it can't be him,' she said to herself, as she clipped the edges of her pies; 'for he was one of the wildest, most rattle brained fellows I ever knew, and I'm sure there wasn't any thing about him that could be made in to a minister. But he had one of the kindest hearts in the world, and I was the one to blame.' 'Some one coming here,' called out Susan, her nicce, from the bed room tip-stairs. Every thing was in baking-day confusion, and the room wasn't swept out yet, and she couldn't attend to visitors until her cake was out of the oven. Click went the gate. Miss Pl-.-ync dusted off her hands, smoothed her shining hair, gave her collar a twitch and was ready to answer the visitor's knock. Something in the laughing eyes which met hers as she opened the door made her start and turn pale. 'Hester Payne, I'm pretty sure,' he said, crossing the threshold. 'Yes, sir,' she answered, with a little catch in her voice, 'and you-' 'Don't you know me?' he cried. 'I'm John Ashley. I didn't sup pose I'd changed so much that an old friend wouldn't discover some familiar look about me. I should know you anywhere.' 'I'm glad to see you, John,' she said, giving him her hand, with a very suspicious moisture in her eves. 'I've been thinking of you, for they said the new minister's name was Ashley. It can't be that you're -the one, can it ?' 'I'm the man,' he answered, with a twinkle of humor in his eye. 'I don't suppose it seems possible to you, or any one else that used to know me, that I have become a minister, but it is so. It seems as strange to me as any one else, but I honestly be lieve God had a work for me to do, and I'm trying to do it as best I can,' he added, earnestly. 'I'm glad of it,' she answered. 'I always said you'd steady down, but I never thought you'd be a minister, John.' 'That's right,' he said heartily. 'Don't go making me any body but John ; I'm the same man you used to know, come back to reuew old friendships and do the work I've undertaken.' 'I'm getting ready for a picnic,' explained Miss Payne, 'and I'm busy just now, so you'll have to entertain yourself tor an hour or so till I set the things out of the oven. Then I'll be at liberty and we'll have a good, old-fashioned visit.' 'I'll come into the kitchen and we can talk and you can work at te ssme time,' said John ; and without waiting for any reply he proceeded to do so, and put him self a chair close to the table where he could watch her to the best advantage. For there seemed to be something wonderfully at tractive to him in her face. How the morning flew ! It was noon before Miss Payne knew it. But then they had talked so busily that they could keep no note of time. Susan from the kitchen door, far enough back to be out of sight of John, aroused her by making all sorts of mysterious signals, pointing first at the minister and then towards the road, to which she added a series .of appalling peormances by opening and shut ting her mouth, which was after wards ascertained to be a repre sentation in pantomime of the way that young woman supposed horses ate. Unable to understand what she wanted to communicate, Miss Payne went to find out about 'There's his poor old horse a standin' at the gate the whole mornin',' asserted Susan, with in dignation, 'an' he a-settin' here an' laughing. If he was a horse now-' But Miss Payne didn't stop to hear the metaphysical argu ment Susan was about to anniounce. Whby, John !' she said, coming back in to the kitchen ; 'don't you know you've got a horse out there ? I'd forgotten all about it till Susan spoke of it. Just you take it round and turn it out in the pasture, and I'llihave dinner ready by the time you're back.' She watched him as he wvent down the path, with a soft light in her eyes and a strange happi ness at her heart. She didn't know why. She couldn't have told if she had tried to analyze it. It must be that she felt the glad ness near at hand as the trees know w hen springe is comingf. 'I'd like to know if that man's goin' to stay here forever ?' said Susan to the old brindle cow that night, as she drove her up from pasture. '1 should s'pose he'd feel it his duty to visit other folks. 'Stid o' that he's a-settin' round here, an' Aunt Hester an' he's a-talkin' the whole endurin' time, an' he aint said a word ab,ut any of them things all the b; other ministers used to, as I've t heard. But old brindle didn't seem to W be able to enlighten Susan on any d point, and that young person I went to bed fechng that ministers 01 weren't what they used to be. P1 The minister and Miss Payne m sat and talked quietly in the still V4 twilight. He told all about his bi life since she had known him 15 t years tgo, and how the change 1.7 had come into it which transform- b< ed him into a minister. And then ni there fell a little silence about at them which neither broke for a ul long time. By and by he spoke. vo 'I don't know why I came here al first, Hester. I suppose I ought 01 to have gone to Sawyer's, but I fil couldn't get by here. From the tE time I knew I was going to be 01 stationed over this part I've been ja thinking of you and longing to tt talk over old times with you as I have done to-day. And P some way it seemed to me as st if God bad a plan to carry out in d stationing me over here. I don't know what you think about it, a Hester, but 1 believe I could do u better work in the world if you v, would help me. We've been gI parted for a good many years, but C I've never loved any one else and tl I never shall; and it seemed to w me to-day that I took up life just h: where we left it 15 years ago-in r( this old kitchen. I've always fO blamed myself for what happened afterwards, and I want to confess it to you now whether you o think as I do about what I have b told you or whether you don't.' 'No, John, I was the one to a blame,' she said.. 'I was telling b myself that this morning, not half a an hour before you came. I saw ti it all afterwards.' t 'Is it yes or no, Hiester ?' he a asked, tenderly. 'We're old enough n to know ourselves better than we s< did then. Can you help me in my h lfe-work without regret for what a: you must give up ?' t '1 will help you ?' she cried, her si whole face aglow. 'I shall give p up nothing but loneliness, and 1 o shall gain-you l' i What a speech to make to a a: minister! s If Susan could have heard it og she would have become an imme- fe diate convert to the theory of to- e tal depravity. And to come from a: Miss Payne, too! s 'God bless you, Hester, and may el you never be sorry for this,' he w said, and kissed her with a long, C lingering kiss, while the moon- e: light fell about them like a ben- w ediction f.rom heaven, s FARM1ER.-It does one's heart ~ good to see a merry round-faced a] farmer. So independent and yet el so free from vanity and pride ; so rieb and yet so industrious ; so patient and persevering in his r( calling, and yet so kind, sociable 0 and obliging. There are a thous- 01 and noble traits about his charac ter. He is genera.lly hospitable. C Eat and drink with him and he " won't set a mark on you, and I sweat it out of you with double W, compound interest ; some people 1 I know will ; you are welcome. He a will do you a kindness without ri expecting a return by way of corn- ai pen sation-it is not so with every body. He is usually more honest and sincere, less disposed to deal ti in low and underhanded cunning, e' than many I could name. He la gives to society its best support, ol its firmest pillar that supports, the A edifice of government. He is the t1 lord of nature.

NEW MATERIALS. The mournful expression assumed r a bachelor friend when I told him at silks costing $50 the yard were aported this fall, is even now present ith me, "How many yards for a -ess ?" he asked timidly. I hasten . to reassure him by adding that one two yards of such expensive fabric aced on something in comparison ore ordinary, such as plain satin or lvet, would be sufficient. This ought a gleam to his saddened coun nance and he still revolves uncertain the matrimonial question. The auty and richness of many of the w silks are indeed extraordinary, I id oftentimes, therefore, they will be ed in lesser quantities on plain satin, lvet, and sometimes silk. Almost ways, however, the two former col s are friuently very bright and wk id not only the India cashmere p/t rns before spoken of, but all maner floral ideas which repeat the gay rdiniere and Pompadour patterns of e summer. Stripes too are prominent, nor are aids ignored, and with both we con antly see the new Indian and floral Aigns united. All are likewise produced in wool id silk, and wool and silk will be ited either with plain silk, satin, ilvet, or wool goods. We find plain )ods in dark, cloth shades have re ived special attention, and among iese the varieties chiefly brought for ard are cashmere, merino, camels iir, diagonals and satines, the latter sembling the satines which were shionable some'years ago. MILLINERY. One stands aghast in contemplation the birds which are placed on new -inets. The largest things that ever un saw put to such a purpose and me with the two feet left dangliug ~low. I almost fear to say how large me of them are, but they are cer inly more than a foot long. In ese more pronounced specimens the ings are pressed closely, else I1 know >t what we should do. Sizes de end in all gradations down to the imming bird, but where the sizes e small, we not unfrequently find em grouped together; as many as , with wings compressed, being laced in a row. Pompons are made 'five or six birds with heads together the centre and wings outstretched, d bands are of birds ; two on either e with heads in the middle and :hers succeeding beyond. Fancy athers of all kinds are much used, ;trich plumes were never more in de and. As to shapes, any one can be iited, for we have medium and large, ose brirnq, wide brims, and brims hich signify nothing in particular. rowns also are nothing in particular, cept at times by reason of great idth, and also by being occa3sionally t very far back, leaving of course a ide front brim. Some shapes flare er the forehead, while others lie most fiat. Satin antique is the nov ty in material. It is satin, having a ight appearance of plush, and we d it laid plainly on the frame or in isettes or folds. Elegant bonnets are velvet laid plainly, and many felts 'all colors are imported. Serge silk is often employed for imming and is doubled for string, hich sometimes are eight inches ide. Ribbons also are usually very ide, and as the newest thing here, e find the Ottoman gros grain having heavy rep with satin border. New bbons likewise are satin on one side id gros grain on the other. COSTUMES. Short costumes are a necessity for ie street and will be chiefly worn en for balls and parties by young dies, though for indoors the elegance a train will be always desirable. mnong new models for short costumes, e Antonina overskirt and Sybilla sque may be mentioned, while for rls from ten to fourteen, nothing ettier than the Harfra overskirt and mina basque can be found. The ;ola polonaise is also pretty for girls the same ages. Illustrations of stumes may be seen in Ehrich's ashion Quarterly, which is especially .uale to out of town residents. It )mb es the best features of a fashion magazine, a price current and a cata logue, and its nnmerous representa tions of costumes. laces, trimmings, jewelry, household articles, etc., are very well executed, while the accom panying descriptions are clear. The publishers, Messrs. Ehrich & Co., of Eighth Avenue, inform me that they will supply every article described at its quoted price, but the chief use of the Quarterly is to furnish ladies with a reliable list of prices and accurate descriptions of the latest styles. The 3ubscription price is only fifty cents a year, and a specimen advance sheet will be sent to any address, free, on receipt of a three cent stamp for post ige. Lucy CARTER. THAT FLY-PAPER. Now is the season when the Jruggist hangs a dozen sheets of ticky fly-paper in the windows to 3how the folly of investing in mosquito-bars. The said sheets ire covered with flies, dead and dy ing, sometimes artistically ar ranged, and sometimes dropped Dn in a reckless though captiva ing manner. There is no sham %bout this paper. It will catch Dny fly who takes a sheet of it For a skating park, and it will hold him long enough for you to run to the wood-pile and bring the axe and knock him in the head. The only trouble is to work up the fly. He sometimes knows his business, and you can't beat it in to his noddle that a sheet of this paper represents a cool and grassy valley into which he is privileged to meander in search of lumps of white sugar. He will sit on the edge of the window-sill and won der and think, and kick out his legs in the sunshine, and if you think he has got so hard up that he must come down to molasses and pulp, you keep right on try ing. Visions of the thousands of flies captured at the drug store "since Monday noon" will rise up before you, but only to make you more down-hearted. If you spread out ten sheets on the chairs and table and floor, you run more chances of catching a fly than with one. Any arithmetic will tell you this. It may be an hour or two before some reckless old reprobate of a fly will start out to see what you have been doing. Back into a corner and don't breathe while he is making for the table.. He may. light down. Flies have their tired moments the same as three-year-old steers. He will slide to the east-then north by east-then wheel to the west and- look around to see if any'body has a broom trained on him. Give him time. It the mo lasses is up to his grd'de he will find it sooner or later. When he finally slides up to the paper you can bet you've got him. Taking hold of the table with his legs he will reach his head out, nibble a ittle, smack his lips, and then make a dive for the center of the sheet, calculating to fly off with it to his knot-hole in the ceiling. If you have tacked the sheet down, you've got a fly. If you haven 't, away goes a cent. You may catch a~ second fly before the summer is gone, but if you are impatient and want to make a show, you must order your dead flies by the box from New York, spread out your paper in a quiet place, and put 'em on with the machine used by ll respectable druggists.

A tender Chicago father had with much solicitude observed the failing health of his only daughter. All through the summer she had received, with his full approval and with apparently a warm recipro cal feeling, the visits of a young man of most estimable character and of fair prospects. Him she accompanied nightly to the front door, and even to the gate-a pro eeding which her fond father re garded with some anxiety as the raw evenings of autumn:came on, nd he noticed his dear daughter's' shortened breath and hectic color. The other evening he called her into the parlor-she had been absent for three days upon a visit to her Aunt Samantha-and, throwing wide the folding doors, clasped her to his heart in fond emotion, as he said: "See, Sa anna Julietta; see, and never think that your poor old father doesn't think about you and care For your comfort." There the as tonished girl beheld, swingingin bhe recess, between the two rooms, a perfect model of their front gate, with several long pickets and siX. short ones, and a nickel plated latch. The artist, in his devotion to nature, had even retained the tumb marks near the handle i'n the original, and the impression s on the lower bar worn by the cherished daughter's dear little boots. Art, too, had improved upon nature, for the gate, which swung' upon noiseless hinges, had at thbe top a shelf, just one kiss' broad, furnished with a student's. lamp and a box of caramels ; for the feet the lower bar w as softly padded and warmed by a hot air pipe connecting with the furnace, and two spring chairs were fast ened, one on either side. "Thar," said the fond father, while his eyes filled with happy tears. "Thar, ye can swing and kiss all* night long, and never catch a breath of cold." The good old man had had the gate surrounded with evergreens, and had laid a plank v alk on the young man's side, to increase the naturalness of the scene, while at considerable expense he had had a street lamp hung in the alcove above, which was--rare thoughtfulness--not lighted. "Now, Susanna Julietta," said he, "that 'ere ought to be as good as life. But if you don't think so-for your poor old f'ath.er won't begrudge you nothin'-I'll come round every quarter'n hour or so and yell out, "Susanna Ju ietta, come inter the house afore you get your death o' cold ;' and I know your little brother thinks nuff o' ye to\ play he's a street Arab, and cry, 'Ain't themn sweet nesses ?' " "0 father ! father !" cried the girl, as she flung herself into his arms, "0 father ! you are so good ; and it is all so nice ; and, yet, 0 father! it isn't like the original article at all." PREMATURE WOMEN.-When girls midway in their*teens throw off their natural, girlish habits and attire, don long skirts, shoots up their hair, and affect the airs and dress of young women, they would often be surprised t know what their elders really think of the improvements. One such miss went to the depot recently to meet an# aged friend of the family 'and was 3rprised to find herself not recognized upon greeting the visitor as she step ped from the car. "Don't you know me, aunty ?" "Why, this,. isn't Naria, is it ?" "Certainly ; dont you think I look better th~ab I did last Summer when you were here ?" "No," replied the honest soul, looking the irl over, "to tell you the truth I :ion't. Go home and let down your hair, and be young while you can for it will not be many years before. you wi!l be glad enough to have peo pie ake you for a girl."
