KEN ALLS SPAVIN CUit.
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL REMEDY ever d;+
covered, as it is certain in its eTets %nd
does not blister. READ PROOF BELONW.

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.
B. J. KENDALL & Co., GENTs: I sent you
one dollar for yonr "Kendal's Spavin Cure'
last summer which cured a bone spavim
witji half a bottle. The best liniment I ever
- use. 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.

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

'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

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

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.
