VOLUME XXXIII_NO. 37 PLAIN TRUTHS Thc blood is thc foundation of life, it circulates through every part of thc body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease hus entered tho system the only sure and (mick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood. I hose 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 all the 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 it, and thus drive disease from any part of thc system, and it will nol blacken thc teeth, cause head ache or constipation, and is posi tively not injurious.

They eat alono by tho bright wood fire, Tho grny-huired dome and tho oged Biro, Droamiug of days gooo by ; Tho tear drop?, fell ot) ?aoh wrinkled cheeky They bo hod thoughts they oould not Bpcak, Aud each heart uttered a sigh. For their sad ond tearful eyes descried Three littlo chairs placed sido by sido Against tho sitting-mom wal), Old?fashioucd enough os there they stood, Their acats of fl lg, their frames of wood, With their bocks so straight aud tall. Then thc silo shook his silvery houd, Aud, with trembling voice, ho gently said, "Mother, those empty chairs 1 They bring us such Rad thought!? to-night We'll put them forever out of sight lu the small dark room up stairs.u Hut she answered, "Father, no ; not yet ; For I look at thom and forget That thc children oro bWity ; Tho boys como book, and our Mary, too, With her npron on of checkered blue, And sit thole every day. "Johnny still whittles a phip's tall mosts, And Willie his leaden bullets casts, While Mary her pot oh work HOWS ; At evening thc three childish prayers Go up to God from these little chairs So softly thal no one knows. . Johnny comes back from tho bilowy dcepj Willie wakes from tho battle-field sleep To say "good night to mc j Mary's a wife and u mother no more, But u tired child whose play time's is o'er, And comes to rest ut my kueo. "So let them stand there, though empty now. And every time when 'ow wc bow At tho bather's throne to pray, Wo'il ask to meet ibo children II bo v o tn our Saviour's home of rest and love, Where no child goeth away." HOUSECLEANING ''Saidee! Studoll Where ure yon? Why don't you answer mo when 1 call?1' "Yes. Aunt Leah-I aoj coming in a minute." "ina minute," rarcnstically repeated tho old lady. ' Its always a minute with you, Saidee! But I suppose, beouuso 1 mn old and helpless, my comfort is n matter of no o ?us- quenco whatever." "Bear Aunt Beach, you must novcr think that!" answered o bright cheery V lice; and Sablee Lynn carno into tho room, with a little tray, whore was ar ranged, on a snowy napkin, sotno tea -bis cuits, half a dozen pink radishes, a few thin-cut shavings of smoked beef and a little pot of tea, with a cup und pii??eY of old blue China which would have been in valuable to o collector. "You sec I had you in my mind all tho time, Aunt Leah," she said, monly. "1 gathered the radishes from our own gorden, Bon't they look uice?" Aunt Leah, a withered, littlo old lady, a dress of black worn silk und sharp, eyes pening through gold bound spectacles, tufted of tho te-'i and shook hor head. "B's too weak," said she "It isn't fit to diink!'' "1 put in nil thc ten lhere was in thc can .ister, Au'it Loni-," suid Saidee, with a distressed oounlenanoo. Aunt Leah pushed away thc cup, with nn expression of distaste. "It is ns I might have expected," said she. "My nieces have too little thought for roy comfort to sludy my poor und few necessities Nevermind tho tea; 1 can drink oold water, I duo say!" S.idec wrung her hands in despair. How could sho tell this wonk, feeble old lady, above whoso 'declining years hung tho threatening Damocles sword of heart dis ease, of their narrowing circumstances, of empty exchequer, tho clamoring creditors, the pitiful stiaits to which they wero re du ed? "What shall I do?" she asked herself, ns she went slowly back to the little kitchen of tho ruinous Gothic cottago which they hud obtained for a ridiculously low rent because it was ruinous. "i'vo borrowed of the rector's wife twice, and I'm ashamed to go there upoin and l'vo sold everything I can luy my hands on. Bul," glancing up at u picture which hung in tho hull beyond; "there's tho Velasquez. A Velasquez is always worth money, Belle will scold about porting with it, nod Aunt Leah will mourn, but wo ennt live on tho air liko tko fairies. I'll tuko it down to Mr. Bruner, tho artist, this afternoon and nsk him lo get us a purchaser. Poor people, such os wo are can't tilford to retain old families." And, so, when Aunt Leah was indulging in her afternoon nap, and Belle, tho beauty of the family, was ironing out tho flounces of her whito muslin dress for thc morrow's pio nio, vuliaut Saidee climbed ou n chair, took tho unframed pie turu down (it was tho hcud of somo old Spanish grandco, willi u stiff pointed ruff und nn ovil leer in Ibo eyes) wrapped it up in a newspaper nnd orept across tho meadows with it to tho village. Mr. Bruner wus in his studio-a grizzle hended blunt old gentleman, in a belted linen blouso andu faded velvet oap. Ho nodded kindly nt Saidee, who hud onoo taken r, few lessons from him; but when sho displayed tho oanvas ho shook his hoad. "How much do you think it is worth?" ttekod-Saidee, wistfully. "Nothing!" said Mr. Biuncr. "But," cried tho girl, "it is a Velas quez!" ..Thot a Velasquez?" said Mr. Brinier contemptuously. ''My dear, ibero isn't a ricturo dealer in tho country who would givo fifty cents for it. lt's a mendacious imitation and a wretobed ono ot that!" So Suideo lied up tito poor picture, and went home again, shedding n few toars as slio walked uudcr thc whispering treos. "I'll not tell Aunt Leu li or Hello that it is un imposture. They linvo ulwnya taken sueli innocent pride in thu Velas quez " As sho carno past tho old brick houao nt tho foot of thc Locust La00 a load of fur niture was being carried in, for it was tho second wonk tn M ky, ' Wicker oh ult A, twined wi?li blue ribbon, n coltu?o paiuo, c "cs of liooks, engravings, bird cages, plants-ul) sorts of pretty things. Saidee puu'icd mid looked ut them, not without i ii l crest. "I wonder who our new neighbors ure to be!" she thought. Just then out trotted a stout cherry? checked old lady, with her oap all on ono .side, and worsted shawl tied over her shoulders. '.Oh!" said she, ''uro you thc young woiiiun who disappointed us yestcr diy about cleaning. "No," euid Saidee, crimsoning to li ai temples. "Oh, dear! oh, dcm!" said thc old lady; "what is to become of us? All tho furni ture oom in g in and my daughter lame from falling elf n step ladder, und the girl gone, mid-but," with un ca^er look,'' pei haps you eau recommend some ono to help us sctllo." "1 mn sorry to sty thut I cannot," an swered Saidee, and she vanished beyond thc lilao hodge, ru thor amused at thu mistuko the oh' lady bad made. Heile was full ol' bews that evening. "Oh, Saidee," she eiied, "such a nice family is moving into thu Locust House." "Yes," said Saidee, "I saw thc furniture carts at thc door ns l caine back from tho village this afternoon.*" "Oh, tho village!'1 cried Hello, tossing her blonde bead. "Its strange, Saidee, bow much timo you get tu run ubout mid enjoy yourself, while I mu drugging ut home. Hut there's u young gentleman there-tho handsomest mai), Alien Aiken says, that she ever saw-and Mr. Pyle knows him, and he is to be ut tho picnio to-morrow to get acquainted with the young people of the neighborhood. Won't it be del.itrlilfu!." "Vcrv," tsoid Saidee, indifferently. Hut while Helle was talking, she lind made up her mind what to do ou the day ol' thc May pic nie. Karly io the morning, while thc flush of stinri.se was still crimsoning thc sky und blonde Helle lay asleep with her yellow hair in crimping pins, Saidee arose, dressed herself quietly nod slipped out of tho buck door like a little groy shallow. At ei?xiiL o'clock, Aunt Leih rapped on tho ceiling of lier room, which was was directly beneath tho ono occupied by lier nieces. Belle tni.de her appearance presently in o faded calico wrapper, rubbing lier eyes after a drowsy fashion; 'j Where's break I'm ti"' ftiitl Aunt Leah "Where's Suidoi ? ' counter-questioned Hello. Oh, I know thc selfish thing! She baa got up emly and gone do>vn into the Woods to get sumo pink az.lias for lier bair before tho other girls think of it. She wants to liston's!) us all at the pio nie. Hut I think she might h ive (old me." "I am afraid Saidee thinks more nf her self (han sho does of us," Baid Aunt Leah, sourly. And Selle, in a very ill humor, bogan to prepare the breakfast-a (ask generally as sumed by her elder sis(er-while Saidee, hurrying down (he path by tho swamp, look thc shorl cut across tho clover meadow and was prensantly knocking at ibo door of tho brick houso where tho loud of furniture bad stood thc day before. The old lady with tho crooked cap and tl j cherry--cheeks cntnoto tho door. "Have you not engaged any ono to help you get settled?" asked Saidee, blushing veiy prettily. "Wo can't hear of a soul!" said the old lady, "livery ono is engaged j ust now mid-" "If you thought I could bo of use," faintly began Saidee. "Bless mo, child!" said thc old Indy, "you mc too alight mid small. Besides,''' looking closely ut her, "you uro a Indy." "But I know how lo clean n house for ali that," said Saidee, vnliantly. "Wo arr Indies, but wo nre people of no montis. And I think you will bo suited with my work, lt is necessary that I should coin ti little monoy, and-" "Conic in, my dear!" said tho old Indy - "come iu, and linvo a cup of tea willi us, I am Mrs Ilmtwiek-mid this in m j daughter Kate." "Saidee Lynn!" exclaimed thc soft voice of a pretty young girl, lying with a sprained ankle on the sofa. To her amazement our horoiiio recog nized ono of her schoolmates, Katherine llartwiok, who had graduated in tho same clnsa with her, nt boarding school, two yenr. before. "Hut you surely never hnvo como herc to-work?" said. Kate, in amazement. "Yes I have," said brave Saidee. "Why is it nny tho less creditable to clean pain; und white wash windows tbnn to play cro quet or do Kensington stitohes? And my Aunt Loni) hus lost nil her little property and wo uro very poor! So now you know nil about it. And when I lui vo eaten ni) breakfast, if Mis. llartwiok will give mc ? cleaning cloth otiti plenty of soft soap I'l show her What I om do!'' So that Miss Lynn wan mounted on r step ladder, pcliclling off an nntiquo mir roi when Kate's soft toft voice waa hoard tray ing: ..Ol?! Harry* is that you? Wo supposed, of course, you wore nt tho pio nie. Miss Ly un, this is my brother, Harry. Hurry, lot mo present you to Saidee Lynn, my dear old echoolmato, who has como boro to help us cieno house." Miss Lyon mndo as graceful a bow os sho could, under tho circumstances. Mr. Harry Hartwiok inolincd his head. "At tho pic nh?, indeed, he retorted, merrily. "Not at ull. 1'vo been hunting high und low, for ?OHIO ono to help you, und for look of uny success, I have returned to do a little white-washing myself." "Oh, have you?" Said "Saidee' "I know such a nico recipe for kulsomino - ns whito as alabaster and it won't rub off nt all." "Let's tn uko il," said Hurry, promptly. No pio ni ' could ever ever have beeu moro delightful than this among dust, white-wash, scouring, saud und brooms. Kate, on her sofa, hemmed curtain; Mr. Hartwiok bustled to and fro; Saidee with her curly hair tied up in a handkerchief, scoured paint and Harry whitened ceilings* nnd at twilight hud three rooms in pei feet order. "Wc novo achieved wonders," said Ka to looking around ut tho neatly tucked carpets -the soft, gurnT plush hangings-thc pio lures on thc walls, thc crystal brightness of tho windows-whilu Alis. Hartwiok took Saidee mysteriously to ouo side. "My dear," said she, "Ido not know how to thank you sufficiently. Jiut 1 om ushimcd to oiler you a dollar and a half although-" "Bot I shall not be ashamed to take it," said Suideo, smiling. "Why should I? That is it' you really think i havo earned it." "My dear, yon havo moro than earned it,'' Bjid tho old lady; "i nd if you could possibly como to-morrow-M "Of course I will como,"said Saidee Weary ns sho was, Saidee went mound tho village tiPby sonic Young Hyson Icu for tho old lady before she returned to thc Gothic cottngo. "Well," sho cried, bright, to her sister, "what sort of n day did you have ni thc pic nie?" "Awfully stupid!" yawned Helle. "And tho handsome young gentleman from Locust Linc didn't como ut all." "Didn't he?" said Saidee "And where havo you been," demanded Helle, in an injured tone. "Oh, Bpeudiug thc day with a neighbor!" said Saidee, with a laugh. They finished tho housecleaning that week. Mr. Hartwiok found it necessary, we may add, to walk home willi Saidee tho next evening ?nd bc developed a remarka ble talent in amateur painting nnd kaU sotnining lino before they got through. "Isn't she pretty!" a.iid Harry, enthusi astically, "and sho is bravo and sho isn't afraid of honest work; and altogether she is my ideal of n girl." "Mamma," whispered Kate, laughing, after her brother had gone out, "1 believe , our Harry is in love with Saidee Lynn." "I'm sure I don't blamo him," said Mrs. Hartwiok. "Sho is n little jewel." Aunt Leah never kcow where thc Young Hyson tea caine from, nor tho sponge, cake, nor tho whito prap.es,' nor all tho little luxuries which had cheered her of late; nor did shu suspect anything until one day Harry Hunwick carno to her, nnil formally asked her for her niece's hand tu marriage. "Well, I never!" s.iid Aunt Leah. "Hut how did you ever become so well acquainted with him, Saidee?" questioned Hello, half pleased, half jealous. "Hoom.sc I cleaned home foi his mother,' said Saidee, laughing. And then under .solemn seal of fccreoy, she told Bdlo all; und Hello declared (hit it was too romantic for anything, novel paining to think that real lifo is as full ol romance as a summer meadow with butter cups, and that fortuno comes to those only who go bravely out lo seek fortune. Slavery as ix Punishment foi Or imo? Thc recent salo" of a negro ir.to tempo rary slavery in Kentucky baa surprise! many persons who were not owaro or hat forgotten that tho Constitution of thc Unit ed Stales distinctly recognizes tho lawful ness ol' slavery or Involuntary servitude ai n punishment for orino, "Neither slavery nor involuntary set vi. tudu except ns a punish ino ot for orimi whereof the party shall havo been duly con vioted, shall exist within thc.United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction.' So says tho Thirteenth Amendment. There is nothing in tho Constitutions prohibition tu prevent a Stuto from makin; slavery thc penalty for very trivial offences Tho fact ibal this has not boen more gone rally attempted in Jho Southern State shows how tho sentiments of thc pcoph have grown away from tho old slave system Bcsidos, if ii law was passed ?inposing slave ry on black culprits it would have to nppl; to whito culprits also; nnd thc possibility o a negro owning a whito slnvo would scon unpleasant to thc ordinary legislator. Slavery to-day is maintained ns n ponai? ty for thu non-payment of debt in ono o tho nativo States under British prolectioi on thu .Malay Peninsula. Thc British o Iii - oial resident nt Barak notuully signs war? runts for thc nrrcst of fugitivo slaves whos only eiimo is that they havo run away fron a perpetual captivity incurred by n fuilur to pay an amount which may not cxccci live dollars.

Irish Emigration. f?ovci'BiiiBciil a>h?BG ?oi* ihv re lict* o?* the roor-Ag>|?;illing Distrcss ?ii 4;oiiiiaug'lit, LONDON, July 24.-Tho proposed Bohemo of emigration by tho Government in con nection with the Arrears bill is likely to provoke rcsistanoo on tho part of tho Irish members. It gives power to tho boards of guardians to borrow money ut tinco and a half per cent., ropnyablc in fifteen or thirty years, for thc purpose of enabling persons to emigrate who aro willing to loevo Ire? land. No limit is placed on thc amount that may bc borrowed. Authority is given to thc lord lieutenant to make rules for tho guidance of thc board? of guardians os to tho conditions under which emigrants tn ay bo scut away in order that thc poor may not bo oust without resources on tho A tu eric un shores. These rules oro regarded by tho Irish members us illusory and rc certain to bo evaded by guardians uuxi ms to evudo taxation for thc support of thc poor. Tho scheme wwi result in thousands of helpless people hoing convejed to A meridan shores to sink into poverty and to become a ohargo on tho American public Tho Irish mem bers uro bitterly attacking tho proposition. They say if tho government wishes to in aug?rate emigration it should do it on a much larger scale, so us to place thc euii grants ott lund os proposed by thc Canadian Parliament. AN APPALLING rio TURF. Mr. Trevelyan drew un appalling picture of tho present condition of tho poor in tho crowded districts in tho west of Ireland ns stated in tho ollicial reports.* lie showed that thc taxation for next your for tho sup port of thc poor amounts to nineteen shil lings in tho pound in thuBclmullct district and twelve shillings in tho Clifden Union, thus threatening to reduce tho whole pop ulation to boggjiry. It is stated that there arc 800 homeless families in Clifden at present, although 1,300 persons have lately emigrated by thc charity of Lult?'8 com mittee Tho poverty of thc peoplo is so great that they have already sold or pawned thc most ncoobaury articles of furniture One inspector reporta that in Clifden alono ho has scon 800 bods in pawn' THU CIIK.U'KST SOLUTION OF THE QUEST TION. Ile pointed out that thc oinigration of tho poor is tho cheapest solution of tho question as tho maintenance of paupers costs ?68 18s. per annum for "each, and tho money if not found now will have to bo found next win ter. Tho Government undertakes to malte a gift of ?100,000 to tho flvo unions of Bchnullet, Newport, Swincford,' Clifden und Oughtcrard on account of their poverty, but on the condition, however, that not moro than ?05 office grant bo allotted to one emigrant. This ?9 regarded ns the most objectionable feature and a proof that tho Government mentis only to get rid of tho people at the smallest expense Power is also given to the local government board to extend tho gift to any district scheduled under tho lielief Distress Act of 1879. -Malik -? ?j*fc- ? . VALUE OF DRAINING. Thc carly sum" mer and thc fall months afford many op portunities of draining lund. There itt no question of its great utility. Sometimes ditching is ol' itself suflicicut, ut othor times tiles or loose stones ure best luid. The depth of drain, unless in clayey ground may bo th roo feet. Tho deeper tho drain until thc depth of three ia attained, tho better thu ell'ect, and thc broader will bc tho strip of land drained, or o (footed by thc drain, and there ia no trouble about the waler per colating through thc soil to that depth. Thoro is sometimes condom nation of wet lands which is not reasonable A groat ma jority ot crops prefer moist soils. Put thc water is not wanted on top of tho land;, it must bc "Ot through it easily to tho bol tom ol' thc roots and this un dm draining does When waler gets through tho ground quickly it earlies air with it, which is just what thc roots of plants like. Hoots which never got tho air in this way arc very in active, and thc plant languishes and dies. Und ord ra i nod moist land, is tho best of all land for orors as a rule. Garibaldi, in tho courso of his adventur ous lifo, received ten wounds. Two wounds in tho neck and throat, at first believed to bc mortal, were received in 1835, in Uru guay, in a sen light against tho Dictator j two wounds in tho right arm ot thc sea light of JLlio Piata, in 1880-every oflioor and man near Garibaldi being killed or wound ed; ono wound in tho abdomen, oo April 80, 1819, while fighting against tho Prcnoh on tho Janioulum. Tho wound was not dangerous but wns excessively painful, and Garibaldi concealed his sufferings until tho battlo was over. On May 8, 1810, at Vol lotri, lin was knocked off his horse by tho Neapolitans, and trampled under feet. Ho received ono bayonet and one sword wound, and was rosoued by a bond of mero boys who were engaged in tho fight. On Au gust 29, 1802, ho was wounded in tho thigh by ono of tho Royal Pcraaglicri. A second bullet, rebounding, b?oko tho ankle bone und remained in tho wound. When ex tincted it oxnolly resembled a oap of liber ty. On t) uiyr 4; 1800, on his birth day, Garibaldi was hit in the Tjroi by on Aus trian bullet, lt was a flesh wound in tho thigh. - - --r? ? -- - VARNSVILLK, Ju'y 20-Martin Docket was committed to jail on tho 22d for as saulting a young while girl ngod about 12 years.

"Yes, indeed, ? do," said Mrs, J Se nj nu. to her neighbor, "nnd after wo had lost cightyfivo dollars ia doctor's bills nnd prescriptions. Now ray husband feels aa well os ever." Tho enormous power of modem guns* is well indicated in tho statement that tho largest on boord of tho ves-ols of tho Brtish fleet now in Alexandria harbor is onpable of "throwing a projectile weighing 1,700' pounds nt a velocity cf over a milo io four' seconds-equal to 27,213 tons of metal falling a distance of one foot on nu objeot.
