If disease hos entered tho system thc ott ly sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich thc blood. These simple facts arc well known, and thc highest medical Authorities agree that nothing but iron will restore thc blood to its natural condition ; and also that nil thc iron preparations hitherto made blacken thc teeth, cause head ache, and arc otherwise injurious.

They sat alono by tho bright wood firo, Thu groy-huired daine, and tho aged siro, Dreaming of days gono by ; Tho tear-drop? fell on cuoh wrinkled cheeki, They bod) bad thoughts they could not speak, And each heart uttered a sigh. For their sad ond tearful eyes descried Three littlo chairs plaood side by sida Against tito sitting-room wall, Old-fashioned enough os Ibero they stood, Their scala of flig, their frames of wood, With their bocks so straight and tall. Then thc siro shook bis silvery head, And, with trembling voioo, bc gently said, "Mother, those empty chairs I They bring us such sad thoughts to-night We'll put them forever out of sight lu the smuil durk room up stairs." But she snswored, ''Father, no ; not yet ; For 1 look at them und forget That the children uro sway ; Tho boys como buck, und our Mary, loo, With ber apron on ol' checkered blue, And sit there every day. "Johnny still whittles a phip's tull mosts, And Willie his leaden bullets casis, While Mary her patel) work sews ; At evening thc three childish prayers Go up to Qod from these littlo chairs t?o softly thal no one knows. .

"lt is as I might have expected,'' said she. "My nieces have too littlo thought for my comfort to study my poor und few necessities Nevermind the tea; I oan drink cold water, I dale saj!" Sidec wrung ber hands in despair. How could slio tell this weak, teeble old lady, ?hove whose ^declining yours hung tho threatening Damocles sword of heart dis euse, of their narrowing circumstances, ol' empty exchequer, tho clamoring creditors, thc pitiful 8tiaits to which they wero rc? du cd? "What shall I do?" she asked herself, us she went slowly back to the little kitchen of tho ruinous Gothic oottugo which they had obtained for a ridiculously low rent because it wns ruinous. "l'vo borrowed nf the rector's wife twice, and I'm ashamed to go thcro ugoin and I've sold everything I can lay my hands on.

I'll tuko it down to Mr. Brunei1, tho artist, this afternoon hud ask him to get us a purchaser. Boor people, such ns wo arc can't, o fiord to retain old families." And, so, when Aunt Leah was indulging in her afternoon nap, nnd Belle, thc beauty of the family, was ironing out thc flounces of ber white muslin dress for thc morrow's pio nie, valiant Saidee climbed on ti chair, took tho unframed pioturo down (it was tho licud of somo old Spanish grnndco. with a stiff pointed mil'and nu ovil leer in tho eyes) wrapped il up in o newspaper and crept across tho meadows with it to tho village. Mr. Bruner wus in his studio-a grizzlo headed blunt old gentleman, in a belted linen blouso andu faded velvet oap. Ho nodded kindly ut Saidee, who hud onoo tnketi r. few lessons from bim; but whoo sho displayed tho oanvos ho shook his hoad. "How much do you think it is worth?" asked-Saidee, wistfully. "Nothing!" snid Mr. Bruncr. "But," cried tho girl, "it is a Velas quez!" "That a Volnequcz?" suid Mr. Brunet contemptuously. ''My dear, ibero isn't a ricturo dealer in llio country who would givo fifty cents for it. it's a monduoious imitation and a wretched ono at that!" So Saidee tied up tho poor pieturo, and went ito mc again, shedding n few toare us she walked under thc whispering trees. "I'll not tell Aunt Leu h or Hello that it is un imposto e. They hovo always luken such innocent pride in tho Velas quez. " As sho carno post tho old brick houso nt tho foot of thc Locust Lane a loud of fur niture wns hoing curried in, for it was tho second week in M ?y. ' Wicker chairo, twined wi'h blue ribbon, a cottugo pu ino, cases of books, engravings, bird euges. plants-nil sorts of pretty things.

'.Oh!" said she, ''uro you tho young woman who disappointed us yester diy about denning. .'No," suid Saidee, crimsoning to her temples. ''Oh, dear! oh, dear!" said thc old lady; "what is to become of UH?

"I um sorry to say th ot I cannot," an swered Saidee, and she vanished beyond tho lilao hedge, rather moused at thu u.istuke thc obi lady had made. Beilc was full of news that evening. "Oh, Saidee," she ciied, "such a nice family is moving into the Locust House." ..Yes," said Saidee, "1 saw the furniture carts at thc door us I came back (rom tho village this afternoon/' ..Oh, thc village!'1 cried Belle, tossing her blonde bead. "Its strange, Saidee, how much li no you get to run ubout and enjoy yourself, while 1 um drugging ut linnie. But there's u young gentleman ibero-tho handsomest mun, Alice Aiken says, that she ever saw-und Mr. Pyle knows him, nnd lie is to bc nt the picnic tO-morro.W to get acquainted with thc young people of thc neighborhood. Won't it be deliirlitful." '.Yen," boid Saidee, indifferently. But while Belle was talking, she bid made up her mind what lo do ou ibo day ol' thc May pie nie. Karly in the morning, while thc flush of sunrise was still crimsoning the sky und blonde Belle lay asleep with her yellow hair in crimping pins, Saidee arose, dressed herself quietly u:'d slipped out of the buck door like a little gray shadow. At eight o'clock, Auut Leah rapped un tho ceiling of her room, which wan was directly beneath tho one occupied by her nieces. Belle tut?dc her appearance presently in o faded calico wrapper- rubbing ber eyes after a drowsy fashion; .j Where's break tm ti"' enid Aunt Leah '.Where's Sanlei? ' counter-questioned Belle.

And Belle; in a very ill humor, began to prepare the breakfast-? task generally as sumed by lier elder sister-while Saidee, hurrying down tho path by tho swamp, took thc short cut across the clover meadow ond was prcas ?m'y knocking ut tho door of tile brick house where ibo loud of furniture had stood (ho day before.

"Bless mo, child!'1 said tho old Indy, "you oro too alight und small. Besides," looking closely nt lier, "you uro a Indy." "But 1 know bow lo clean n house foi nil that," said Saidee, valiantly. "Wc arr ludios, but wo are people of no moans.

LONDON, July 24.-Thc proposed scheme of emigration by tho Government in con nection with tho Arrears bill is likely to provoke rceistonoo oo tho part of tho Irish members. It gives power to tho boards of guardiaus to borrow money ut thrco nnd u half per cent., ropayablo in liftcrn or thirty yourB, for thc purpose of enabling portons to eiuigrato who aro willing to lorva Ire land. No limit is placed on thc amount that may bc borrowod. Authority is given to thc lord lieutenant to mnko rules for thc guidunco of thc boards of guurdiuiiB os to tho conditions under which emigrants uny bo Bent away in order that tho poor may not bc cast without resources on tho American shores. Tlieso rules oro regarded by thc Irish members us illusory and arc certain to bc evaded by guardians anxious to cvudo taxation for thc support of tho poor. Tho scheme will result in thousands of helpless people being conveyed to American shores to sink into poverty and to bcoomc a ohargo on tho American public. Tho Irish mem bers uru bitterly allocking tho proposition. They say ii tho government wishes to in ougurntc emigration it should do it on a much larder scale, so us to place thc emi grants ott land os proposed by thc Canadian Purliamen t. A.V AlH'ALLINGI I'lCrUItH Mr. Trevelyan drew un appalling picturo of thc present condition of tho poor in tho crowded districts in tho west of Ireland ns stated iu thc official reports.* lie showed that the taxation for next year for tho sup port of tho poor amounts to nineteen shil lings in the pound in tho Boltnullet district und twelve shillings in tho Clifden Union, thus threatening to reduce tho wholo pop ulation to begg iry. It is stated that there ure 800 homeless families in Clifden ut present, although 1,300 persons hovo lately emigrated by tho charity of Luke's com mittee. Thc poverty of the people is so great thut they have already sold or pawned thc most ncocesary uni?les of furniture. One inspector reports that in Clifdeu ulouo he lias seen .'300 beds in pawn* Tilla CHEAPEST SOLUTION OF THE QUEST TION. Ile pointed out that tho emigration of thc poor is tho cheapest solution of ibo question as tho maintenance of paupers costn ?8 lils, per annum for "each, and thc money if not found now will have to bo found next win ter. The Government undertakes to moke a gift of ?100,000 to tho ftvo unions of Bclmullet, Newport, Swineford, Clifden aiol Oughtcrard on account of their poverty, but tn tho condition, however, that not mote than .Cf) of free grant bo ullotted to one emigrant. This is regarded us thc most objectionable feature and a proof that tho Government means only to get rid of tho people ?il thc smallest expense Power is ulso given lo thc local government boord to CSteod tho gift to any district scheduled under tho lielicf Distress Act of 1879. VALU? OF I Mt A IN INO. Thc carly sum? mer and thc fall months afford many op portunities of draining lund. Thero \A no question of its great utility. Sometimes ditching is ol' itself suQicicot, ut other limos tiles or loose stones are best hid. Thc depth of drain, unless in clayey ground may bo throe foot. Tho deeper tho drain until thc depth of three is attained, tho better tho effect, and tho broader will bc thc strip of land druined, or nHooted by tho drain, and there io no trouble ?bout the water per colating through tho soil to that depth. Thero is sometimes condemnation of wet lands which is not reasonable. A groat ma jority ol' crops preter moist soils. But thc water is not wanted on top of tho lund; it must Lo n;ot through it cosily to tho bottom of thc roots und lilis underdroinirig does When water gets through tho ground quickly il carries air with it, which is just what thc roots of plants like. Hoots which never got tho air in this wny arc very in active, and the plant languishes nnd dies. Underdraiued moist laud, is thc best of al! lund fur crops ns a rule. Garibaldi, in tho courso of his adventur ous lifo, received ten wounds. Two wounds in Ibo neck und thront, ut first believed to bo mortal, were received in 1835, in Uru guay, in u BOO light against tho Dictator ; two wounds in thc right urm ot tho sea light ol'Bio Pinta, in 183G-every officer nod man near Garibaldi being killed or wound ed; one wound in thc abdomen, on April HO, 1819, while lighting against tho French on the Janioulum. Tho wound was not dangerous but wns excessively painful, and Garibaldi conocalcd Iiis sufferings until tho bottle was over. On May 8,1810, at Vol lotri, ho wns knocked oft' his horse by tho Neapolitans, and trampled under feet. Ho received ono bayonet and one sword wound, and was rcsoucd by a band of mero boys who wore engaged in tho fight. On Au gust 29, 1802, ho was wounded in tho thigh by ono of tho Royal Bersnglicri.
