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.

Morativo for my daughter, whom
1 was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away wah Consumption.
Having lost tinco daughters hy the
terrible disease, tinder thu care of
eminent physicians, I was loth to
believe that anything could arrest
tho progress of tho disease, but, to
Illy groat.surprise, before my daugli
tcr had taken one bottle of UROWN'S
J HON lilTTttltS. she began to mend
mid now Is ,|uitc restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when thc physician was consulted
lie quickly said "Tonics were re
quired ;" and when informed that
thc elder sister was taking BROWN'S
IKON UlTTMtS, responded "that is
a good tonic, lake it."

Thc Three WAUlu Chairs.
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.
While, therefore, wo still tollcrnlo slnvcr
ns a punishment for c.ri mo in thc Unite
States, wo arc not quito fo brutal ns Groa

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.

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
