THE MOST SUCCESSFUL REMEDY ever d;+ covered, as it is certain in its eTets %nd does not blister. READ PROOF BELONW. FROX REY. P. N. GRANGER, Presiding Elder of the St. Albans District. St. Albans. Vt., Jan. 2wh. ItS11 DR. 1. J. KENDALL & Co., Gents: iI re11y to your letter I will say that my expozie:.e, with 'Kendall's Spavin Cure' has been very satisiactory indeed. Three or four year ago I procured a bottle of your agi:t. and with it, cured a horse of lameness caedw'-4 Z; a spavin. Last season my horse bee-e very lame and I turiel him ouit for a lew weeks when he became better, but when I put him on the road he grew wor_.e. when I discovered that a ringbone was formuin. I procured a bottle of Kendals Spavin CLire and with less than a bottle cured him so that he is not lame, neither can the bunch be found. Respectlully yours. P. N. GRANGEI. PERSEVERANCE WILL TELL. Stoughton, Mass., "March 16th, 1880. B. J. KENDALL & CO.. GENTS: In justice to on and myself. I think I ought to let you now that I have removed two bone spa vins with 'Kendall's Spavin Cure,' one very large one. don't know how long the spavin had been there. I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one off and two for the smal .one. I have used ten bottles. Tbe horse is entirely well, not at all stif, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful med icine. It is a new tifing here, but if it does for ali what it has done for me its sale will be very great. Respectfully yours, CHAS. E. PARKER. KENDALL'S SPAVIN CURE. Acme, Michigan, December 28th, 1879.

Yours respectfully. loXER HoxI. STATEMENT MADE UNDER OATH. TO WHo3 IT MAY CoNCFRN.-In the year 1s7 I treated with Kendall's Spavin Cure, a bone spavin of several months' growth, nearly half as large as a hen's egg,.and com pletely stopped the lameness andI removed the enlargement. I have worked the horse ever since very hard, and he never has b-en lame. nor could I ever see any diference in the size of the hock joints since I treatud him with Kendall's Spavin Cure. D. A.

VIRTUE'S FAME. Like a quiv'ering, crystal bubble, Floating on the summer's air, Is a maiden's fame for virtue, Jewel of all jewels rare. But a breath-and gone the bubble, Never more to be the same; But a whispered word of scandal Gone the maiden's spotless fame. False may be the direful rumor; Pare in heart may be the muid; But a heartless world will whisper, And the forfeit must be paid. WILD GRAPES. -0 'Such a quantity of* them,' said :o Widow Winton, 'and doing obody any good l' The golden September sunshine as steeping all the .uplands in ellow brightness; the avant >uriers of tho couing frost had uehed the maples and sumacs ith fiery red, and the wild grapes the woods came freighting the ir with sweetness. Such wild rapes,too-great, blooming masses f purple, outlined against their 3nk, green leaves, as if some en hanted hand had bung all the )rest aisles with glistening pend tts of amethyst. 'The jolly they would make ' aid the Widow Winton, shading er large black eyes with one and, as she looked up where the ines bad garlanded a copse of edar trees. 'And the preserves ! Lnd the price they would bring i market I I really do think at when I rented the Glen Cot age, I ought to have had the rivilege of these woods into the argain more especially as Mr. sselmont is in. Europe, and the rapes is doing nobody any good.' And the Widow Winton drew a eep sigh, as the wind wafted a resh gust of fragrance toward her -the sweet, indescribable aroma f ripening grapes in Lhe crucible f autumn sunshine. The Widow Wnton, be it un erstood, was no angular matron r wrinkled old beldame, but a osy little personage of two or bree-aud-twenty, with laughing loe-black eyes, long-lashed and imond-shaped, a saucy, retrousse ose, and lips like a cleft rose-bud. nd as she stood there, with her impled hands interlaced above er eyes, a rebellious resolution yrmed itself in her heart. '1 will have them,' said the idow Winton ; 'as well me as e schoolboys and the sparrows. ud if I were to ask that crusty Id agent, I know he'd refuse, so I all omit the little ceremony. 'Ii send 'em into town, and i'll ke the money to get me a new all hat, for mine has been posi ively shabby ever since the crape ot soaked through in that sum er shower, three weeks ago Sun ay.' And the Widow- Winton went ome to the little cottage on the dge of the wood, which had ~ne been a porter's lodge to the ~sselmont estate, and told her sis er what she had determined up 'Fanny,' said Miss Charity Hall, vo was ten years older than the idow, and a good many degrees raver, 'pray don't think of such thing.' 'Why not?i' said Fanny. 'It would be stealing I' 'No, it wbuldn't,' stoutly argued anny. 'There the.y hang, doing obody any good ; and it's a wick d. sinful shame I And Mr. Essel. ~nont is in Paris, and that cross )ld crab of an agent sets up a cry f one does but break off a sprig f autumn leaves. No, Charity, ~here's no use arguing ; the grape want and the grapes I'll have l 'I wouldn't,' said Miss Charity. 'I would,' said the Widow Win. ,n. And she took down a little wicker batsket, with a twisted andle and a double lid, and trip d off. 'How are you going to reach hem ?' said Miss Charity. 'I shall climb,' said the widow -'You ?' cried Miss Charity. 'Ye, 1!t' nodded the widow. But she wasyet engagedin ga theriog the purple spoils that hung, ripe and tempting, within her reach, when there was a crackling of dry leaves under foot, and a tall young man, in a suit of dark colored cloth and Tyrolese hat, stepped lightly into the forest glade. 'It's the new rector,' said the Widow Winton to herself. 'To think that he should have blun dered along at this very time of all others! But I may as well make the best of it.' And she turned around to greet, the bewildered now comer with a sweet smile and the utmost self. possession. 'Will you have some grapes!* said she, holding out the twisted wicker basket. 'I-I beg your pardon ' stam-i mered the stranger; 'but I must have mistaken my way. 1 sup. posed these were the Esselmont woods.' 'So they are,'. said the widow, 'and I am stealing the Esselmont grapes-because, you see, I've rented the little cottage yonder, and I really think the grapes ought to go with the cottage don't you ?' 'Really,' said the stranger-the Widow Winton had perceived by this time that he was tall and straight, with pleasant bazel eyes and a long, silky mustache. 'I know so little about the property here-' 'Oh, of course not;' said the widow, sitting down on a fallen tree, with her little black silk apron full of grapes. 'But I can tell you, Mr. Esselmont, who owns the property, is in Europe ; and the agent is such a cross old fudge that one can't ask for so much as a bunch of wild flowers-a regu lar crab you know!' opening her bright eyes very wide to empha size the idea. 'Iow very disagreeable !' said the stranger, who had taken a seat on the mossy log, beside the widow, and was eating grapes as if it were the most natural thing in the wor!d. 'So I just concluded to help my self,' said the widow. 'So I perceive,' said the hero of the silky mustacbe. 'Wouldn't you, if you were in my place ?' said the widow. 'Certainly I would I' said' the gentleman. 'And if you will al low me, I will help you to help yourself.' 'But you haven't time,' said the Widow Winton, dubiously. 'Ob, yes, I have !' said the stran ger-'plenty of time I assure you, I was only crossing the woods to call on the new rector, and-' The purple clusters of grapes slid to the ground, as the Widow Winton started up in amazement and dismay. 'Oh, dear !' crid she ; '1 thought you were the new rector !' The stranger laughed. 'Do I look so very clerical ?' said he. 'Then you are the agent's son from Canada l',said she. 'Oh, dear ! oh, dear I And I've been calling your father a crab, andjall sorts of names. Oh, dear ! I beg your pardon, I am sure, but all the same he is a crab l' 'Pray dlon't distress yourself,' soothed the stranger. 'I am no relation at all to Mr. .Esselmont's agent.' The Widow Winton brightened up a little at this. 'I am thankful for that,' said she. 'And now, if you will help me with the grapes, we can get them all gathered before the agent comes this way on his after noon walk. Can you climb ?' 'I should rather think I could,' promptly answered the gentle man. The widow clapped her plump little hands in delight, as the huge bunches rained down into her apron. 'There,' cried she, 'that's enough I' 'Are you quite sure ?' 'Oh, quite,' said the widow-'for jelly, and marmalade, and to send a lot to town to buy my new bon net-strings.' The stranger sprang lightly to the ground, from the boughs of a setaly beech tree. 'Then it's all right,' said he. 'And we've outgeneraled Mr. Esselmont and his cross old agent, after all.' 'Haven't we?' said the Widow Winton, with her black eyes all dancing with misenief. 'And now, if you'll come home with me, I'll give you a cup of real French chocolate, and a slice of sponge cake.' 'I shall be very happy to carry your basket for you,' said the stranger, courteously. 'There he is now,' said the widow, recoiling a little, as they neared the tiny cottage, with its drooping eaves and pillared veran da. 'Who ?' said the gentleman. 'The agent,' said the Widow Winton. 'He can't hurt us,' said the stranger. And he walked boldly into the very presence of Mr. Sandy Mac. pherson, with the basket of plun dered grapes on his arm ; w hile the widow followed, much marveling at his valor. But, instead of bursting out into invective, the agent sprang to his feet, and began bowing and scrap ing most obsequiously. 'Really, sir-really, Mr. E-sel mont,' said be, 'Ibis is a pleasure that I didn't expect.' 'Mr.-Esselmont ' cried out the widow. '1 beg a thousand pardons for not disclosing my identity before !' said the handsome 'Incognito.' 'But you've no idea bow I have enjoyed this masquerade. Will you allow me to introduce myself formally at last?' The Widow Winton turned crimson and pale. 'But I've been stealing your grapes,' said she. 'Every fruit and flower on the Esselmont estates is at your ser vice,' said the young heir, with a bow and a smile. But when he went away, Miss Charity took her younger sister formally to task. 'Fanny,' said she, 'aren't you ashamed ?' 'Not a bit,' said Fanny, valiant ly. 'Stealing fruit like a schoolboy, and romping like a child,' remon strated Charity. 'If Mr. Esselmont don't mind it,' said the widow, 'why should I? And we're going to the haunted springs to-morrow, and I shall show him the rocky glen. Oh, I can tell you, Charity, it's great fun!I' But, as time crept on, Miss Charity Ilall grecw more uneasy still. 'Fanny,' said she, 'you must leave off flirting with Guy Essel mont I' 'Why ?' said the widow. 'Because you are poor and he is rich ; and people are beginning to talk.' 'Let 'em talk,' said Fanny. 'We are to be married next month, and then we can set the whole world at defiance ; and, Charity hiding her face on the elder sis ter's shoulder. 'Well ?' 'He says he fell in love with me that day he caught me stealing his grapes!l' 'Humph !' said Miss Charity.

FORFEITS FOR FUN. In the evening games of winter gatherings of young people. and older ones too, it often becomes necessary to punish some one, or more, of the com pany by imposing a 'Forfeit.' The penance should be something that either is not easy to follow out to the letter-that is, has some catck in it. or puts the person in a conspicuous and amusing light. In all cases a for feit should be designed to amuse the company as a whole, and never to offend the person called upon to pay it. In order to illustrate our idea )f a good forfeit, and also to furnish suggestions to those who enjoy andj ,ake part in such pleasant amuse ments, we give a few of the forfeits that may be imposed. (1) Put a newspaper upon the floor in sueb i way that two persons can stand on it and not be able to touch each other with their hands. This forfeit nas the honor of being old, but it was not our good fortune to meet it until a short time ago, and was forced to 'give it up.' By putting- the paper in a doorway, one-half inside and the other outside the room, and closing the door over it the two persons can easily stand upon it and still be beyond each others reach. (2) To *go out of the room with two legs, and. come in with six. Not difficult if one thinks :to bring a chair along on the return. (3) To act the Dumb Servant. The per son who has the forfeit to pay must act out the answers to the questions put by the master of the ceremonies; as, How do you make bread ? How do you eat soup? etc. This forfeit will cause much merriment if proper ques tions are put. (4) Put one hand where the other can not touch it. One can get out of this difficulty by put ting one hand on the elbow of the other arm. (5) Place a pencil on the floor so that one can not jump over it. May be done by putting it close to the wall of the room. [6] Put a question that no one can answer with a NO ! This is not hard if one thinks to ask. What does Y E S spell ? [7] Push i chair through a finger ring. This forfeit is made by putting the ring on the finger and pushing the ebair-any other. object will do as well-with thie finger. This last much resembles the next. [8] Put yourself through a key-hole. This was a great puzzle to us for a while but when a piece of paper was taken with the word 'yourself' written upon it, and pushed through the hole, it was all clear. There are many other of these amusing little tricks, but these given will suggest others, and help to make the social winter gather ing the enjoyable times that they should be.-Amnerican Agriculturist. A BLOODTHIRsTY MANDARIN.-A tale of peculiar horror comes from the Swatow Quarters. The military man darin for the Kit Yang district, Pung Tye-jen, who will be remem bered as the mandarin who gave the order for the compradore Ah Pac to lose his head has been distinguishing himself in thoroughly Chinese fashion Some small offieial, who held the po sition of tax-collector, had been mur. dered by the people, who, exasperated probably by his eternal and extensive squeezes, considered taking the law into their own hands to be the only way of getting rid of him. For this daring outrage against law and order, Pung Tye.jen undertook to inflict punishment upon the residents, and did so with a completeness we rarely see equaled. He first secured the services of a gunboat to protect or cover his retreat, the place where the inhabitante had done as we have stated being within reach of the guns of a man-of-war. The place was then besieged, and the soldiers killed some thing like 700, it is said, of the peo pe who were supposed to have taken part in the uprising against authority and had caused the death of this petty official. The number of those destroyed by the avenging army of Pung Tye-jen avariously estimated from 400 to the f gure above stated. Surely an ample satisfaction to even a mandarin of the bloodthirsty charac tr which this man has acquired. (China Mail. 'Bridget, the dust upon the furai ture is intolerable. What shall I do.?'
