"I know you'll despise iuoJ* s&id iiG "Not a bit'of it 1" cries Leila. "Why, Mr. Hatfield, do yon think I've never been tempted an' fallen ? Time an' time again I've 70wed not to give way to this wicked, evil temper of mine, an' the very*1 next hour, perhaps, I'd be blazin' ont at somebody as if I were a heathen instead of a Christian. Bnt we must never give up, Jim; to pray an' to hope an' to strive against our sins is what we must do." Her words sounded so brave an'' kind that Jim was just overcome; an' before he knew it he blirtecl out, "I wish my wife would talk to me that way." "She has many burdens," says Leila; "you must help her bear them. She must lean on you, not you on her." "I'll do ray best," said the young man, "an' if they turn me out of church this time, I'll get in again after a year's pro? bation." "But you have not told me all," says Leila. "There ain't much more to tell. Of | course we drunk a good deal of whiskey ?at least I did?though I noticed after a time that Mr. Bobberts didn't drink much. An' all the while he wuz talkin' about the bay mare, tryia' ter jew me down on my price. Finally he drew ut a paper which he wan led me ter sign, j looked it over, an'wuzn't too drank ter see that in that contract I should come out at the little end of the horn. Then I Sot fightin' mad. I broke the jag on the oor, an' went fer old Bobberts tooth an' nail." "An' he got the worst of it," said Leila, with a laugh. " "That's the whole of the story. Of j course I held my tongue in my own-in* trust, not know in' I might a helped John by comin' out with it. But you're wel? come to publish it now, an' if I'm dis? graced, why, I'll jist try ter live it down." "Mebbe it won't be necessary to pub? lish it, Mr. Hatfield," says Leila. "I think if I go to Mr. Bobberts, an' say, 'Sir, on a certain day you tempted a young man to drink whiskey, yon tried to cheat in a horse trade, an' you told a string of lies, all of which I can prove,} I think" cries Leila, almost dancin'-with joy?"I think l ean twist him round my little finger. An' Til agree to be silent if he'll withdraw bis charge against my husband, for Heaven knows I'm not desirous of puttin' disgrace on any poor critter made in God'? image." Three persons now knew a secret, but it wnz kept ez close ez wax. When the court met in the Spring, John Baney's case wuz.the fust ter be called. The. court-room wuz packed an' jammed, an' the very winders wuz filled with boys hangin' on by their eyelids. An' then- an' there, before the whole assemblage, Mr. Bobberts riz up an' with i drew the charge against Mr. Raney. Judge Wimbleton- looked mightily pleased, an' exchanged some very know in' glances with John Raney. As fer Leila, she sparkled like a-diamond, but she hadn't much ter say, then or after. When asked how such, an unexpected endin' wuz brought about, she would only: laugh, an' say from first to last all wuz owin' to the tender conscience of Mr. Bobberts. L A - Hade' Him Come Borne Sober. While makin' a flyin' visit to Saratoga lately, I noticed that the Indian em campment business flourishes about the same as ever, just as the instantaneous photographers and the customary Indian, princess, who sells specimens of bead work, etc., at about ten times the market value at Niagara Falls. And this re? minds me of a good story I heard the other day ot a New York man who had married an Indian princess. There is a chap round- New York, floatin' between here and the interior of Pennsylvania, who ia the degenerate son of a prominent New York lawyer, and who has given b ia folks a good deal of) trouble, especially from his hard drink in'. All sorts of attempts have been made to ?top his drinkin'. He has been Bent to reformatories, to inebriate asylums and all that,'without avail. At last his folks gave up tryin'.to reform him, ami let him go to the devil'. And there's where the point came-in. On a wild drunken spree, he went, some ten years ago, to Niagara Fall, and in his cups, i this chap I am writin' about got mashed j on one of the Indian girls who sell souvenirs and all sorts of things there, and made two or three fortunes every season, like the Niagara hackmen. Well, he married the Indian girl, who f was a princess of her tribe, and he was lucky to get her, for no white girl of his acquaintance would have any thin' to do with bim. She was a rather, pretty girl, too, and was kindly received- by her husband's relatives, who thought that, under the circumstances,' any wife was better than none, for him. She lived for a while in New York, soon adopted.the style of dress and habits of the whites around her, end made ] quite a decent and respectable matron, her complexion soon becomin' the only remarkable or out of the way thing about her. She joined the old Methodist church in Grand Street, New York, and became quite a favorite with the congre* fation. Meanwhile her scape-grace usband grew worse and worse, and worried the life out of her. At first he had really been attached to his young wife, and had been rather domestic, bat soon he abandoned her society, and kept loafin' round the. taverns.. He was as bad as ever, and his folks were again in despair. His father and mother besought his wife to do her best to reform him if she could, and the poor woman complied with their wishes for her own sake. But in vain, all in vain. He mocked at her tears and prayers; moral suasion was thrown away on him. Then she got an j idea, and tried somethin' else. '.1 One night the drunken husband came home, and instead of findin' his meek, sorrowful Christian wife in bed, bavin', as usual, wept and prayed herself to sleep, be found hemp, and in her war paint?literally her war paint. She bad always kept, as a sort of remembrance of her tribe, some of her Indian dresses, wampum and feathers, and all that, and to-night, she had put on her old time forest toggery.. She looked as romantic, and unconventional, and as thoroughly Indian as when he had first met her, an J ten times as fierce. For in her hand she held a hatchet?not a little but a big "hatchet?one of these hatchets which the Indians know so well how to use on the 8knlls of their enemies. And she brandished this hatchet before his eyes. She seized him by the hair of J his head and threatened to take his scalp. She clutched bis hair, got her fingers through it and drew the edges of the hatchet round the top of his head. Sug? gestively and scientifically she swore to scalp him if ever became home to her drunk again. Her Sunday-school scholars or her minister wouldn't have known her just ? then, but her husband knew her. He knew, too, that her Indian blood was up, that she meant every word she said and that she would keep her word. From that hoar to this, though, all these years, he has never experimented on this point, never taken any chances, never given her the slightest trouble, never come home drunk again. If ever he is drunk he don't come home at all. But as a rule he comes home; be thinks it safer. He has a hearty, wholesome dreiid of bein' scalped. He has a lively drefid of Indian faith and Indian vengeance. What ell the fathers, and mothers, and ministers, and institutions in the land wouldn't have accomplished in a life time, his Indian wife accomplished with a hatchet in five minutes. Let the temperance people marry off the risin' generation of drunkards to Niag? ara Falls Indian wives.?Sunday Mercu? ry. BILL A IIP. Telia of the Happenings of Home. Southern Cultivator. Our daily life is like a kaleedscope. Every turn brings a new picture, but it is not like a kaleed scope, for the pictures are not all pleasing. We have our good days and our bad days, our ups and downs, and we never know what pleas? ures or what pains a day will bring fortb. The chief business at our house now, every night is to help the children get their lessons and ii takes all hands to do it. These little chaps have got their ambition op and have an idea that the school is a bigger thing than a circus. Their spelling and their definitions and their exercises and their speeches and compositions have to be heard at home two or three time3 over. Head marks aud merits are all the talk. It takes three or four lamps in the family room, and last night a lamp fell off of the sewing machine and broke all to pieces and the oil run over the floor and caught on fire, and just such a consternation never was seen in my family. We have had a lot of children and used kerosene ever since it was first discovered and never bad a lamp lo break before. The girls all screamed nnd got away from the burning fluid. I got the bucket of water and threw it all around the flames to keep it from spreading and catching the bed and one of the girls picked up my overcoat and threw it on to smother it an other one got a quilt and spread it over, and sure enough they did put it out but the quilt-and the overcoat are now ready to clothe-some poor darkey. The great big dictionary was on the floor and some other books the children had been using and they don t look much like books now?nevertheless we made a narrow escape and are grateful. Mrs. Arp is off on a Visit ana the girls won't let her know anything about it, for she would be terribly alarmed and hurry back home too premature. The floor is a sight and can't be scoured up, but we are going to put down the carpet to-morrow and may be the grease will fide out by the spring. Well the next day we concluded to open the keg of new syrup that had just come from market. So I hammered away to loosen the stopper and one of the boys was leaning over and looking at the oozing foam and saps he, "maybe it will spout like a beer ba rrel" "Not much I reckon," said I, and just then sure enough it did snout with a vengeance, and took him right in the countenance and filled his mouth and his nose and eyes and knocked his .hat off and got all over his head and in his. hair and ran .down his back and his bosom and I do think he was the sweetest an i most pitiful sight I ever^saw." He "was literally christened and baptized and iiamereed in syrup and was so badly strangled he couldn't talk and the first thing he did say was to blubber out "I told you so." Poor fel low ?we sent to-the spring for water and we stripped him, and it took six buckets full and a fresh suit of clothes to set him all straight, and be sayu there is still a piut or two in his hair. Ralph has brought a new dog here now. He says he is a pointer. A man jn town gave him to Ralph for he said ho Jiked the boy and had no use for the dog. Yesterday the cook had sent up the dinner, most all of it, and went back again to the kitchen. When she came up again to ring the bell sbe.missed the roast of beef and sudden? ly discovered that the new dog-had-point? ed it and dragged it off out of doors. She alarmed the -family and we pursued that dog with vengeance and alacrity and drove him away from the premises, and now it leaks out that bis owner didn't want to kill him and put him off on Ralph, as a pointer. I never did like pointers no how, for I never saw one that was fit for anything but to hunt birds, and I don't get ay birds that way. Some times I get cut of patience with these children for bey impose on our weekness. I never had half as many privileges as they do. I bad to get up early and build the fire and bring the water but now I let my children sleep and I make the fire for them. I wouldn't do it I don't believe but Mrs. Arp says it is wrong to wake up the children so early and she reads me scraps from the news? papers and the journal of health which says that children ought to be allowed to sleep until they wake up of their own accord. Our first children had a harder time than these last'ones for Mrs. Arp knows she ain't going to have any more .and she is mighty tender to Carl and Jessie. Most of the first ones have left us and there are somo more who I reckon are willing to go and: before long there ?won't-be but two or ;hree in the house. We are teaching elocution now, and I have to stand up ar d~roake a bow and show Carl how to say: "Not a drum was heard nor a funeral note," so that he can surprise his mother when she comes home. We have cut but "a new way to the.school house and put two long logs across the creek and planked them for the children to cross on and now they seem to think the little bridge was just made 'for them to pat the dog off into the water, for ha will follow them to school and don't seem to mind his duck? ings a bit. Rut somehow or somehow else things don't seem right at home nowadays, for the head of the family is away and we would all be lonesome even with a house? ful of company. What is home without a mother? Why I had rather hear my wife scold than to hear some folks sing for there is more music in it and it all comes so natural. If she had been here that lamp wouldn't have turned over nor the syrup exploded nor the dog stole the meat, for she is the regulator, she is, and keeps us all in order,, bless her faithful heart. ?_Bill Abp. An Abbeville Womnn In a Georgia Const A correspondent of. the Augusta News says: To-day a pleasant-faced lady, neatly attired in a full suit of black, wearing smoked glasses (evidently from motives of modesty) and bearing upon her cheeks and brow the strong flushes of embarrassment, mounted the witness stand in the Superior Court Room. She was the plaintiff in a suit for divorce and gave her name as Mrs. Tanty Huckabee and that of her husband as J. P. Hucka? bee. She said her -maiden name ras Miss Tanty Moore of Abbeville District, South Carolina. She was married there in 1864 by Eev. Mr. Burkhead. Her husband proved to be 3 man of dissipat? ed habits and subjectc t to such cru? elties that in 1872 was forced to separate from him. Ai that time ber little boy was six years of age. When Col. Westmoreland asked: "When your husband was drinking was-he usually cruel to you?" She replied: "Ob, at those times he was generally the kindest. It was when he was at himself that he was most un? kind and abusive/' Mrs. Huckabee impressed the Court and jury as being a lady of refinement and culture, and ber manner was all in her favor. The first verdict in favor of total divorce was given her, and at the next term all legal ties will be severed between her and the chivalrous Caroli? nian, who was "kindest when be was drunkest." ? A sample of American cheese in London, says the Orange County Farmer, proved to contain neither milk nor any of its derivations. It came from New York State, and was composed principal? ly of lard and coloring matter. 1885. Harper's Magazine ILLUSTRATED.

" a.: ."Hen: My father resides at GloTor, Vt. Ho Ikm boon a great sufferer from Scrof? ula, and the inclosed letter will tell you what a marvelous ciTect Ayer s Sarsaparilla has had in his case. I think his blood must hare contained the humor for at least ten yoars; but it did not show, except in the form of a scrofulous soro on the wrist, until about five years ago. From a few spots which ap? peared at that time, it gradually spread so as to cover his entire body. I assure you he was terribly aftlicted, and an object of pity, when he began using your medicine. Now, there are few men of bis age who enjoy as good health as be bas. I could easily name fifty persons who would testify to the facts in his case. Yours truly, W. M. PHILLIPS." FROM THE FATHER: S^? a duty for mo to state to you tbo boncfit I have derived from the use Of Ayer s Sarsaparilla. Six months ago i was completely covorod with a terrlblo humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an incessant and intolerable Itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause thn blood to flow in many places whenevor I moved. My sufferings wore great, and my Ufa a burden. 1 commenced the use of the 55 a us.warilla in April last, and have used ft regularly since that tlmo. My condition Imiriui to improve at once. The sores havo ni hoalod, and I fcol porfectly well in every ?v.fjiect?? being now able to do a good day's ?vor!c, although 73 years of ago.

In Augt.st, 18R1, nearly three years ago, my son, who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga.. came over to set; me with the sad intelligence that his wife was in tho last stages of consumption and that her pbysician had pronounced her case bone? less. I w<mt im mediately over, and I felt that nothing could be done. She was coughing and spitting incessantly, and at times would discharge from her lungs a large quantity 'of pus or matter ?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom? ach, and was, in fact, in the last stages of the dis? ease. Thii was about the time you began to ad vertiso Brewer's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her in small dose?, gradually increasing the quantity un? til the prescribed dos? was reached. She began to improve al ter a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is never without) relieves her immediately. I con? sider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Re? storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the subject of Brewer's Lung Rcstoter and never lets an opportunity pass where lie thinks such a medi? cine would be required, that ho does not speak of it in most flowing terms. Not lorn; sicce a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was Induced by my son to give it to his invalid win . and she was cured as if by magic."
