Thc blood is thc foundation of
life, lt circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is parc
nnd rich, good health is impossible.
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.
BROWN'S IRON BITTERS will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
thc blood, purifying and strengthen,
ing il, and thus drive disease from
any part of thc system, and it will
not blacken thc teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi
tively not injurious.

The Three H. i ld Be Chairs.
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.
. Johnny comos back from the bilowy deep;
Willie wakes from tho battle-field bleep
To say "gend night to mc ;
Mary's n wifo ami u mother no more,
Bttt ? tired eliild whose play time's is o'er,
And comes to rest ul my ku oe.
"So let thom stund there, though empty
now.
And every time when 'ow wo bow
At the Father's throne to pray,
Wc'il usk to meet tho children ubovo
Lu our Saviour's home of rest und love,
Where no child gout ll away."
HOUSECLEANING.

"S .idee! Saidoi! Whero ?re yon? Why
don't you answer mc whet) I calli"'
'.Ves. Aunt Leah-I nm coming in a
minuto."
"Ina ainuto," psreostioallyreported tho
old lady, '-its always o minute with you,
Saidee! But I suppose, because 1 nm old
and helpless, my comfort, is a matter of no
c ms1 qm nco whatever."
..Boar Aunt henel), you must novcr
think that!" answered u bright cheery
vice; und Saidee Lynn carno into tho
room, with u little tray, where was ar
ranged, on ti snowy napkin, sumo tca-bis
cuits, half u dozen pink radishes, a few
thin-cut shavings of smoked beef Olid a
little put of tea, with n cup und suiioer of
old blue Chino which would have, been in
valuable to n collector. ''You see I had
you in my mind nil the time, Aunt Leah,"
she said, tn cri ly, "1 gathered ibo radishes
from our own garden, Don't they louk
uiee'i"'
Aunt Leah, n withered, little old lady,
a dress of black worn silk and sharp, eyes
peering through gold bound spect? '?M,
lusted of tho tOA und shook her head.
"lt's too weak," said she. "It isn't lit to
drink I'1
"I put in all thc lea lhere was in the oan
.ister, Aunt Loni-," suid Saidee, with u
distressed oountcnaiico.
Aunt Leah pushed away thc cup, with
on expression of distaste.
"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. Bul," glnucing up nt ti
picture which bung in tho hall beyond;
"there's the Velasquez. A Velasquez is
always worth money. Belle will scold
about parting with it, und Aunt Leah will
mourn, but wo ennt live on tho air Uko tho
fairies. 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.
Saidee pumicd and looked ut them, not
without interest.
.'I wonder who our new neighbors aro to
bel" she thought.
.Ju-t theo out trotted n stout ohcrry
checked old lady, with lier oap all on otio
side, and worsted shawl tied over her
shoulders.
'.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? All tho furni
ture ooming in and my daughter lame
from fulling elf a step ladder, und tho girl
gone, mid-but," with Uti cager look,''
pei haps you eau recoil) mond some ono to
help us 6Cttlo."
"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. Oh, 1 know thc sci Ash thing! She
baa got up early and pone do.vti into thc
woods to get some pink az?Has for hov bair
before thc other girls think of it. She
\ inls to aston's!) us :dl at the pie nie. But
1 i hink she might h ive tol l mc."
"1 am afraid Saidee thinks more of lier?
self than she does of us," said Aunt Leah,
sourly.
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.
Tho old lady with tho crooked cap and
tho cherry-cheeks oanio to tho door.
"Iluvo you not engaged any ono to help
you get settled?" asked Saidee, blushing
veiy prettily.
"Wo can't hear of n soul!" said thc
old Indy, "iivery one is engaged j nst now
und-"
"If you thought I could be of use,"
faintly began Saidee.
"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

I think you will bo suited with my work,
lt is necessary that ? should cain n little

"Como iu, my dear!" said tho old lady -
"como io, and linvo a cup of ten willi us,

"Let's moko it," said Hurry, promptly.

Kate, on ber sofa, hemmed curtain; Mr.

"We have achieved wonders," said Kate

"Of course I will come,"said Saidee

"Didn't he?" said Stiideo.
"And where have you been," demanded

"Oh, spcudiug tho day with a neighbor!"

They finished tho housecleaning thot

Slavery as a Punishment foi
Crimo
Tho recent sale of u negro into tempo
rary sluvery in Kentucky has surprise!
many persons who were not aware or hut
forgot too that thc Constitution of thc Unit
cd States distinctly recognizes tho lawful
ness ol' slavery or involuntary servitude ii
a punishment fur crime
"Neither shivery nor involuntary servi
tudu except as u punishment for erinn
whereof the party shall have been duly ont)
viotcd, shu II exist within tlic.United States
or ony piuco subject to their jurisdiction.1
So saya tho Thirteenth Amendment.
Tlicro is nothing in tho constitutions
prohibition to prevent a State from milking
slavery thc penalty for very trivial offen008
Tho fuct that this lins not been moro footie
rally attempted in ?ho Southern State
shows how tho sentiments of tho peopl
h ti ve grown away from tho old slave system
Besides, if ti Inw was passed imposing altivo
ry on black culprits it would have to oppl;
to wbito culprits also; nnd the possibility o
a negro owning a white slave would scon
unpleasant to thc ordinary legislator.
Slavery to-day is maintained as a penni,

Wist rcs* in 43oiuiaiigIit.
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
