There is Pierre. the handsomest of! negroes, who loves her devoutly, hut she Pierre"?~ - Tante laughed gayly. * * * i * * During the weeks which now followed there were halls and parties without num? ber given, to Mrs. Graham's nieces. It mattered not at what late hour the girls returned home, -always seated by the burning logs of the open fireplace waiting for them, either sewing ordozing, was Na> tella, a briUraht picture but a setting of lurid gold. The time had/come' how When the visit must end. It was the night before their departure, when the greatest eveht of the year took place, when, the negroes', ball was at hand. Candles had been lighted and placed in the wide drawing room in every cohCeiv1 able corner. By the order of Tante all the female revelers were to tome to that room and Bhow themselves. "To amuse youglrls>M8heBaM'tothem.. ,j A dress of pure white had been made especially for the beauty of them all. Na tella was to be simply, resplendent. Pan'; line and Theo were to see to the finishing touches-. At an early hour knocks fell an the drawing room door, and the bltfck laughing faces peeped in to see if missus and .the young ladies were there. Such giggling, high merriment, wild laughing, and outbursts of singing, made the room shake its sides In sympathy, and the very mirrors to reflect from all corners the grimaces- aha proud turnings.. But. they Were all sent out at last, and Natella summoned. She entered the room stately and soberly as usual, her regular features looking like marble. The laughter died slowly from Tante's lips. Her glasses were suddenly In need of a wiping. With trembling fingers Pauline and Theo pinned here and shook there the white dress on the motion? less figure. "Look at yourself, child!" It was the voice of Tante sounding strangely severe, Natclla moved at once to the room and stood still. The large mirrors 'on all sides flashed her back a proud, dazzling picture. She seemed to be in every spot, to fill the great rotm and crush the silent -watchers out. Jetty tumbling in broke the spell. The carriage was at the door. Tante had given them the family barouche. The crunching of the horses' feet on the gravel, the screaming and laughing of the gather? ing revelers were now plainly heard. Tante rose and, leaning on her nieces-, went o?t to the veranda to see them off. Seated on his high box Pierre, the coach? man, the finest negro of them all, held the prancing horses well in hand-. "Git in, you chilens of Ham, git in," he called in a voice of iron." They obeyed at once. Pierre gathered the reins to? gether and raised his whip; turning thefy -he scanned the dusky faces. Mammy, the black cook, watching him, called out im? patiently r. ; \ ?VSakes olive) hbhey, whereas that gal Natella?" Harold had been leaning nonchalantly eyeing the some on a veranda pillar by the side of Pauline. Without locking round,-she Spoke t? him as mammy called: "Harold, wiU you find JNatelia?" "She has not been here for some time." It'was her sister's voice, hushed and close to her ear. But even as she spoke a white form rushed by them, was pulled into-the carriage, and the horses had dashed off. "Theodore, Pauline, come in; we are5" going to have a storm." Tante stood in the doorway. Theo went nptoher and drew her in. Already the wind was banging doors. The night was of.- a pitchy darkness. Pauline, in her dark dress, was. not visible on the veranda where she stood. A strong blast of wind) coming suddenly, buffeted against her. Frightened, she. turned to enter the house, when, in one breathless second, she could not move. Leaning up against the pillar where he had been before was Harold,' with a face of fearful anguish. His head was bared and fallen, with a look of deep despair. His eyes sought beyond the veranda, cut? ting the very blackness with their inten? sity, and yet with a distant look about them. His lips, tightly compressed, were blanched, as were likewise the cheeks, the brow above them. The only hand she saw hung stiffly by his side, between the fingers of which was crushed a half smoked cigar. She tried to speak, to walk, but could not, when, with a mighty effort, she made her way to. a door near by, sprang up the stairs and sank- ex? hausted on the floor of her room. She lay there how long she knew'not, trembling, with that suffering face before her, when she crept to bed. Her sister coming in later was surprised to find her sleeping. - Why had she deserted them this their lost night, when they had been so jolly, and Harold had kept them laughing with his songs? Theo smiled as she thought. When at last she slept, Pauline opened wide her eyes and stared at the darkness. "Harold, what was the matter with him? What did it mean? That dream, how plainly she remembered it; the first night there by the window." Sheshivered. How cold she was! Theo! would sha wake Theo? She lay and thought. An hour passed. She had slept and awak? ened; it, was about midnight. She slept again and, waking, found the darkness half gone. Her wrapper lay on a chair close by. Under the blanket, even, she was shivering; and it looked warm. She rose and wrapped it about her, went to the window and looked out. Listening there she heard voices in the distance. They came from the negroes' quarters, so she knew they had returned. She tried to leave the window to go to bed, but something held her. The half light was painful to her eyes, and, shield? ing them with her hand, she waited for the sun to burst. She would see it for the last time in all its splendor in the southern land. A gleaming bit of white stuff caught her sight. It appeared to be wound around the tree's trunk. Some remnant of the ball, she thought. She still was looking at it when the sun directed her powerful rays fuU upon it? on a face with eyes wide open meeting it unflinchingly?on parted| lips and still brow. With a cry which woke her sister, Pauline pointed to the dead face of NateUa, staring at her?at the sun. The birds had begun their fighting and their songs. The acorns stiU were drop? ping and the leaf swept not the cheek of Pauline but the cold' gloss of the closed window, and seemed to mind not. ****** The servants knew nothing, and could but sob and wring their hauds. "Lord, Almighty I Lord, Almighty!" was their refrain. Taute Bternly, with the tears running ?uwn her cheeks, questioned separately one and all as they gathered together in the drawing room. Up stairs was the doctor. He now came and, with his hand resting on the door, bowed to Tahte. "The girl has been poisoned. She fr?s overtaken, my dear lady^ without' doubt, by the spasms in the spot where she was found. As the servants tell me, she left them apparently weU at their quarters to come to her room in the house." The doctor bowed solemnly and was shown out. Tante motioned the fright? ened group away. "No crying, no scfeeclung, near this house." She suid it fiercely as they went by. "Tante, dear, but it is better we should leave to-night, for you see how excited Pauline is, and the change is necessary at once for her." Theo stroked the white hand gently. "Yes," the answer came sadly. "Pau? line is not herself." \ Harold went with them to the station, and Pauline wondered why it was that no one saw, as shefdid, how old and harsh looking he had grown! ? "Harold," they ore standing alone to? gether at the station. "Harold, I found this in the cushion of the carriage coming here." He caught her hand which held the ring and pressed it tightly. His face was turned from hers. The ring pierced her cruelly, and involuntarily ho ex? claimed: "Cousin, sweet little cousin, a thousand pardons and as many thanks." The ring was on his finger. The hat was close drawn over his eyes. The train com? ing in, Pauline hastened for the last time to bid goodby to Taute. "Your ear, dear, give it to me. a must whisper." She drew her down. "Pierre, yon know Pierre, my handsome coachman. He has not been seen since last night, and I heard he was in a bad temper at the ball because Natella proudly refused to dance with him. He must have mixed the poison at the sapper. Natella, my beautiful Natella," and weeping bit? terly Pauline left her, with the curtains of her carriage closely drawn. Harold Graham, a week after the girl's departure, sailed for Europe, to be gone for several years. Tante, dear soul, was broken hearted about it, as well as?Theo. ?Roma Virginia in The Home Journal.

After an hour in the crater we set out to descend; To say that the descent was made more rapidly than the ascent would be unnecessary. It only required an hour and a half to reach the snow line from the summit Wo raado the downward trip upon petates. A petate is a hind of coarse matting?an indispensable article in every Mexican Indian's household. It would be impossible to enumerate.all .the uses to which it is put. Each guide had one, about |o?r feet, square,, and he quickly transformed it into a- sled of drag, by folding it to the, middle and cuttjng a hole in the oblong thus formed, about a foot from one ehdv Passing a small rope through the hole, he so fastened it that one end could be held by the tourist sitting upon tho petate, while the other was in the hands of tho guide. As the latter dragged tho petate through the soft snow, the occupant of the some, by holding his end of tho rope tightly, kept the forward fend of the sled well up off the ground. The guides carefully avoided the hard snow, as upon its glazed surface the pe? tates would get beyond their, control ,a?d shoot down the mountain with disastrous results. The guides themselves often coast upon petates and steer them without difficulty; but to describe the method by which we descended Popocatepetl as similar to coast? ing or tobogganing, is very erroneous. It had discomforts which coasting knows not of. The sudden transition from a rarer to a denser atmosphere caused worse headaches than those we had in the ascent, and being dragged 'over Soft show filled with sharp.pieces of lava resulted in many bruises. We reached the snow hue in a wretched condition of body, and in a state of mind that was far from agreeable. The horses met us there, but the ride back to the ranch had no joys whatever. Every step the horses took racked our bodies withfpain.- Wo were thoroughly used upwhenwefreach'ed the ranch cabins and threw .ourselves upon tho hard beds thero. For a while we seemed to care little whether we ever got up or not. But with perfect quiet the headaches passed off, as they had done before, the fatigues were forgotten, and after a little lunch, to which a small quantity of light wine was added, we felt fully restored, excepting as regarded the soreness of our muscles. That remained, to be aggravated almost to the limits of endurance in the horseback ride to Ameca meca the next day. With the return of our physical condi? tion to something like its normal state, good humor came back and the second evening in the uncomfortable ranch house proved pleasanter ? than the first. . We summed up the experiences of the day, comparing them with those of other moun? tain trips and chatted with bur guides. It was the time for settling the question whether the pleasures of the'trip had paid for the pains. The conclusion arrived at could not be better expressed than in the words of one of the party, who, recalling the glorious view from the summit, exclaimed with enthusiasm: "I would not have missed this trip for $100." After a moment's pause in which he re? called the discomforts of the previous 'night, the pains and fatigues of the ascent and more particularly those of the descent, he added with deep feeling: "I would not go again for $1,000."?Arthur Howard Noll in American Magazine. tfbjr Barbers Die Young. "Barbers die early," remarked a West Side member of the tonsorial profession. "Why so?" inquired a iriend. "Oh," remarked the barber,, "the'.busi? ness will kill almost any one who sticks to it for a few years. Occasionally you will find a barber who has grown old in the business, but they are rare. Men may I boss the business and live to be old, but if they.work at it every day regularly they wiUnofc live out half their allotted life." "Is it on account of the work being so laborious?" he was asked. "No, the work is not hard, but the hours are long. Saturdays I frequently put in twenty hours, and some other days fifteen. This does not give a man suffi? cient rest. Then the work must be done standing, and to stand as many hours as we have to, though there was no labor at all attached to it, is enough to break down any man. But that is not the worst feature about it. The inhaling of foul breaths often causes diseases of the throat and lungs. The breath that some men have is awful. It is absolutely poisonous. A barber almost necessarily Inhales these bad breaths and contracts disease thereby. I have made it a practice to stand at arm's length from' my customers, and I thus avoid Inhaling their breath to a great ex? tent This "is not the common practice, however. The average barber bends over his man, and if he has a diseased breath he gets the full benefit of it. Yes sir," said he, with a sigh, and he turned to go away, "there are few shorter-lived pro? fessions than that of the barber."?Chi? cago Herald. Oatmeal a Substitute for Malt. :S". - ? -? - "No beer, thanks." - "It wiU do yon good, after working in the street all morning," said the foreman of a party of laborers from the Public Works department to one of the most in? telligent of his workmen during a noon? ing on an uptown street the other day. "I'd rather driuk what I've got in my bucket." "What's that?" "Oatmeal and water." "What do you drink that for?". "To keep cool, same as you drink water." "It doesn't rest yon like beer, though." "Try it once and see. When I began drinking oatmeal in my water the wife had to almost make me take it. Now I wouldn't be without it. I used to drink a glass of beer every noon, two before supper and 'work the growler' before go? ing to sleep at night. That cost about twenty cents a. day. Now I save all that and get along just as well as before. I don't know what there is about the meal, but when I have had a drink of it I don't care for beer or anything else to drink. You'd better try it yourself." "Oatmeal in water," explained a phy? sician to a reporter who had overheard the above recorded dialogue, "is one of the best drinks in the world for a work ingman, especially in warm weather. It is nutritive, satisfying and agreeable to the stomach. For laborers it makes a useful addition to tho diet, costs but lit? tle and repays the small outlay in the form of increased ability to perform labor, either physical or mental."?New York Mail and ExDress. How Creolen Cook Crabs. The creole style of cooking hard .shell crabs is highly approved by epicures, but it doesn't recommend itself to Mr. Bergh's society for the prevention of cruelty. A big iron pot is put over a very hot fire. The bottom of the pot is then covered with, say, threo pints of the best white wine vinegar, into which a few pinches of salt are thrown. Upon this is sprinkled red pepper. Then two or three narrow sticks are placed above the liquid, the ends rest? ing at the sides of the pot. The cover is put conveniently by for hurried action. Then the live crabs are packed in to the full and the cover is put on. The steam of the condiments soou enwraps them, and when the carapax is cardinal red, "a dish fit for the gods" is ready for the refriger? ator and then for the table. It is said by those who have eaten crabs cooked in this peculiar way that the natural moisture and flavor of the meat are preserved and that the boiled condiments give singular piqunncy to it. Baked tomatoes partly stuffed with crab meat is a new delicacy, and a juicy tomato with a layer of crab meat cooked creole stylo isn't so bad. It Is called yum-yum and is fully entitled to its suggestive designation.?New York Times. The First Circular Saw. The circular saw was in operation for sawing lumber on our falls some years previous to 1820. The inventors of the circular saw were Messrs. Jacquith & Eastman, who carried on the manufacture of lumber in the cove, their mill occupy? ing tho site where the pulp mill now stands. I well remember seeing this saw in operation previous to 1820, cutting out clapboards. The logs were sawed into four feet lengths and placed on a machine propelled by water power and somewhat similar to a turning lathe, where the bark and sap wood were taken off. They were then fastened, on the clapboard machine, the log turning on its center and a row of clapboards cut off by a circular saw around the log, and if the log was of sufficient dimensions a second row was taken off. The log was propelled bnck and forward and turned by machinery, giving the thickness of a clapboard by an index without the aid of a mill man. The machine was considered a great invention at the time and attracted much attention from strangers visiting the town.?Bruns? wick (Me.) Telegraph. STUTTEEEE^ SCHOOL HOW THE HABIT OF STAMMERING IS OFTEN ACQUIRED. Scones lu tbo Offlco of a Man 'Who Mukes Halting Speech Ron Smoothly?Im? pediments or Speech nf a Norvons Character* "Young man, how did yo? acquire the habit, of stuttering?" "I u-u-used to m-m-mock'aman. When he d-d-died I took his place.15 . The question was by the professor of a vocal institute, and the answer by a young man who had -just an? nounced his intention of taking a scries of lessons. A reporter was present, and sit? ting around the room were several intelli? gent looking young men, the most of whom could speak as fluently as any one. AU declared that they had until recently been most inveterate stutterers or stammerers. The doctor's question suggested an Inter? esting train of thought. The reporter put the same question to each of the patients in tuthi "When t was about 0 years of age,5' said number one, "I commenced to stutter a little. Then we moved to a strange place and I went to school. I was very diffldentf and the teacher at? tempted to force me to read and recite. The scholars laughed at me, I became more diffident, and soon the habit was fixed on me." "Iam his brother," said number two. "I learned it pf himi" '.'When I was young," said number three, "I used to play all the time with another boy who was a horrible stutterer, and I learned it of him. Whenever I was out with the boys and didn't think of it I would sometimes flnti myself talking all right, but as soon as I thought about it I would commence again. My little brother afterward learned it of me: " ... Nttmb&r four said he learned the habit from apother boy, but would have con? quered it had not his teacher forced him to read and recite, at which times he be? came so nervous ns to lose all control of himself. All had acquired the habit at the age of G or 7. OF A NERVOUS NATURE. "That accords with the most of my ex? perience," said the doctor; "these impedi? ments of speech arc for the most part of a nervous nature. Lack of will power, the telegraphic system of the body out of order, imperfect connection between the brain and muscles of speech. All this trouble sometimes arises from Budden fright. One patient of mine, a young lady, wns slightly seized with stammering at the time of the great fire. Afterward she saw a cow catch n little child on its horns. She was paralyzed with fright, unable to scream or move. The animal tossed the child into the air. She rushed to the spot and the child was fatally in? jured. After that the lady was a bad case of confirmed stammering. "One of tho worst cases I ever had was that of a young man. When he was a boy of 0 or 7 years of age his father threatened, if he committed a certain of? fense, to throw him into the well. The boy committed the offense, and his father held him for a moment over the well head downward. From that time on the boy could not talk plainly. Many children acquire this malady in infancy, just as they are beginning to talk. Their parents or nurses tickle them, sometimes on the bottoms of the feet, thinking the loud laughter thus excited amusing. The 'pa papa' which the little ones cry out at such times is the first inception of the habit of stuttering. The doctor is a jolly fellow, of fine phy? sique and great personal magnetism, with the voice and laugh of a lion, if a lion can be imagined ns laughing. In training bis class he commences, in the most- natural way in the world, to talk of all sorts of in? teresting subjects, and soon an infection of good feeling seizes all present. He roars out his words with such force and fluency from the depths of his immense lungs that talking seems the easiest thing in the world. Occasionally a remark is ad? dressed to some member of the class in a conversational sort of way, and before they know it everybody seems to be able to talk. Occasionally he goes the rounds of the class with various vocal exercises for. the development of certain muscles. SOME OF THE EXERCISES. Here are a few of the exorcises. Some ministers and actors would do well to practice them: "Amos Ames, the amiable aeronaut, aided in an aerial enterprise at the age of 88." 'Obtaiu all opportunities of obliterat? ing obnoxious ostentations." "Henry Hingham has hung his harp on the hook where he hitherto hung his hopes." What a nut for a Cockney to crack. "I like white vinegar with veal very wolL" "She sells sea shells. Shall he sell sea shells?" '??Quixote Qulxite quizzed a queerfck quidbox: Where is the queerish quidbox Quixote Quixite quizzed?" When the pupils can recite theso sen? tences and a hundred or so similar ones fluently they are graduated. A clear cut, elegant and fluent utter? ance-is one of the greatest graces with which a person con be gifted. It tells al? most the whole story of one's birth, early training and associations. The different kinds of faulty elocution are known ns stuttering, stammering, hesitancy, lisp? ing, exhausted breath, nasal sound and improper articulation. Many people fall under so complete a list as this, who in some instances could improve their utter? ance by a little private practice and atten tion'to the matter. A stutterer has the most difficulty in uttering lingual sounds, such as words beginning with L, while tho stammerer stumbles. over the labial sounds, of which words beginning with B are an example. Both habits are accom? panied with facial distortion, and some? times with a writhing or twitching of tho whole body. That these arc nervous af? fections is shown by the devices resorted to to get over some difficult letter or sound, as snapping tho finger or stamping the foot. "I shut m-m-my fist tight," said a stammerer, "and the electricity runs up my arm and lets the sound c-c-come out."

I once wrote a little tale in half an hour nnd would then have been glad to sell it for $5. I peddled it to nearly every paper in the United States and Canada without avail. When about to cremate the story a new paper appeared. I offered my sketch and had the pleasure of correcting tho proofs two days later, conscious that the following week would bring me $36, the plates and the copyright of my sketch. As long as the paper existed I was one of its most favored contributors. And now an odd matter in connection with that sketch. The editor thought it worth covering by special copyright. Two hun? dred and thirty papers considered tho sketch good enough to risk violating the copyright, and among the 230, 180 had de? clined the story in the two preceding years. ?Ferd. C. Valentine, M. D., in Tho Writer. - - Treatment for Insomnia. A well known epicure, who never lost a night's steep in his life, but who claims to know all about cures for insomnia, pro? poses two novel methods of treatment. One of these is: "Get up, take a bath, dress yourself carefully, go down to tho dining room and cat something. Then go back to bed. The act of dressing and eat? ing will call your mind from its troubled and sleepless stato and you will sink into a quiet slumbor. Or, after you have dressed yourself, go down to the kitchen, start your gas stove, draw a kettle of water, boil it, and drink a glass of it as hot as you can bear it. I have never seen this recipe fail. "?New YorkEvenivg Sun. Always Get n Check. Thieves are up to a new trick. A man sends a valuable watch to a jeweler for repairs.

I was not a little startled the other day at meeting on the street in the best of health apparently an old acquaintance whom I had supposed to be filling a con? sumptive's grave long ere this. Tho last time that I heard of him was about a year ago, and then he had been given tip by tho doctors as a hopeless case. I con? gratulated him on his recovery, but I must confess that my liveliest emotion in regard to him was one of curiosity. In answer to my inquiries he told me that when the medical men had exhausted their re? sources he determined to put in practice a plan of his own. Accordingly he jour? neyed by easy stages to the Blue Mountain region of Virginia, where he established himself in a farm house, and bought a horse. He spent the whole day in the open air, taking care of the steed himself, and riding him about the neighborhood. At first ho told me his weakness was such that he could not stay in the saddle more than fifteen or twenty minutes at a time, and he had to pull up very soon if the horse broke into a trot. Every day, however, he became a little stronger, and in a couple of months he was able to ride ten or twenty miles on a stretch with very little fatigue. He attributed his recovery in part to the fact that he not only rode but groomed his horse and busied himself an hour or two in the stable every day. In this opinion he confirmed what I re? member hearing an old physician say years and years ago, namely, that a "horse barn," as he called it, is one of the healthiest places in the world. For those who love horses the stable cure would be such a pleasant one that a physician who prescribed it might bo sure that his in? structions would be followed to the letter. ?Boston Post Tho Only Laughing Animal. For my part I am convinced that, in every one of our perceptions of the comic, humorous or ridiculous, there is an ulti? mate element that can no more be ana? lyzed or defined by anything else than can our ideas of truth and goodness. But however this may he, it is abundantly evident that all human laughter (other than that due to the mere physical influ? ences) includes a distinct intellectual ele? ment. This is a laughter In which no mere animal shares.

For this purpose her keeper arrayed himself in various un? usual and brightly colored garments and' went through a number of absurd ges? tures; Sally was evidently interested in his appearance and inspected him with care, but, as evidently, did not realize the humor of the situation. Indeed, her keeper (who is an extremely inteUigent man) assured mo that he has never de? tected anything in her demeanor which he could set down to a perception of the ludicrous, although she has very marked and definite ways of expressing her feel? ings of joy, anger or disappointment.? George Stewart. Scantily Clad Monarchs. I must tell you just how the kings that we met were dressed. King No. 1 had thfee different kinds of blankets wrapped around him as he sat on his throne, which was an empty gin cask with an old native mat thrown over it King No. 2 came marching in with nothing on but an old coat, which looked like one of Lord Nel? son's cast off coats. The lace on the sleeves came down to his fingers' ends and the broad collar with fancy facings folded back to his shoulders. He was accompa? nied by a servant who carried an umbrella over him. King No. 8 had on' a green coat which formerly belonged to one of the London sharpshooters. He also wore a vest. These two articles constituted his entire wardrobe. There were seven kings at the meeting, and all were dressed in a similar fashion. One of them had brass rings on his ankles and three or four iron rings on his arms. The servants placed before us seven bottles of palm wine, one from each Icing. We asked %for water, saying wo did not drink wine, and water was brought us. The kings bore them? selves with great dignity throughout tho entire interview.?Congo Missionary in Burlington (Vt.) Free Press. Device for Reporting Sporting Figures. Mr. D. Wilkins, pressman of The Chi? cago Mall, has recently patented a device, the practical workings of which, we are credibly informed, have increased the extra edition of that journal containing the re? sult of the baseball matches from 1,200 to 24,000 copies. A few evenings since, on invitation, we visited its pressroom, in which are located two Presto presses, about 5:30 o'clock. The plates were already on the cylinder, containing a de? tailed description of the match up to the sixth inning. In these plates were In? serted a number of square black blocks, with the names of the contesting clubs preceding them. At the telephone, near the presses, was a teller, who announced the results of each inning, received' di? rectly from the ground, to the pressman standing ready, die in hand, to impress on the respective blocks the required figures. As soon as the result of the ninth inning was received and the totals inserted the machines wero set in motion, and in twenty-two seconds from the announce? ment of the result a paper containing an account of the game was placed in our hands; in less .than a minute the news? boys were selling them on the street, and before the crowds at the grounds had dis? persed The Mail wagon was on hand to supply the demand for tho "extra."?In? land Printer. FhyMciuns as Opium Slaves. Many physicians become slaves to the opium liabit. A recent Austrian medical author speaks of the incredible number of physicians who have fallen victims to it and of the many who hove only just es? caped. A Prussian writer had sixteen cases of morphia addiction under his care, of which medical men formed more than one-third. The majority cf my own patients are medical men. The physician is apt to resort to tho drug because his calling involves special inroads into his mental and physical well being. Nearly always, in them as in others, there is some form of neurotic disorder. Any form of persistently painful disturbance involves this risk. A medical gentleman (a former patient of mine) says: "I proclaim it as my sincere belief that any physician afflicted with neurotic dis? ease of marked severity, and who has in his possession a hypodermic syringe and Mageudio's solution, is bound to become, sooner or later, if ho tampers at all with the potent and fascinating allcviatlve, an opium habitue."?J.

It goes under many mn-cs but it is essen tially^ the same complaint Hospital?, and private institu? tions for nervous patients are crowded. The average of life in the United States is de 1 creasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our business, profess* ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark. The majority of sui? cides, committed without ap? parent reason, or under so-called "depression of spirits,1' are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is a fruitful source of insanity and crime with all their grief and horror. These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation, They assail the springs of its power and pro3 perit jr. They wreck manhood's strength and woman's useful? ness and beauty. Every one should Inidw the causes. "What are they? The answer is easy and terribly lain: Our vicious personal ahits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in? tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after mo::"y, position and influence; the fears and struggles of pov? erty; the use of narcotics and ^stimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and niijit into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour's i.-.-isure or success. So we nr.i life's candle at both ends and iill the lunatic asylums and the graveyards. The disease from which we Buffer and die is, in plain Eng? lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim? ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being impeded or des? troyed, the whole body, nerves included, is literally starved: even when there is uo emaci-? at ion to tell the sad story. Nervous prostration sends out its warnings:?headache in the morning; a persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the brain; wakei illness; loss, of appetite and disgust with food; loss of mental energy and interest in ordinai-y duties and business; restlessness and anx? iety without any assignable reason; eructations; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness; palpitation of the heart; sal lowness of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of strength and ambition. The remedy is a total aban? donment of the habits and cus? toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and tiie use of Shaker Extract of lioois (Seigel's Syrup) to cure tl e mischief already done. T:.-ia great remedy, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb? anon, N. Y., is especially adapt? ed to eradicate Nervous Dys? pepsia, To do this it acts directly ami gently but power? fully upon the disordered stom? ach, liver and kidneys, restor? ing their tone and vigor, pro? moting the secretion of bile, ex? pelling waste matters from the system,and purifying the blood. " Upon the nervous system Shaker Extract(Se\ge\'s Syrup) acts as a safe and wholesome anodyne without the sichtest narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain t; '.r nat? ural tone and strength trough its wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition. It is safe to say mo'/j nerv? ous dyspeptics have been re? stored by it from the depths of misery 1o a fs< sh enjoyment; of life an I labor than by any or all other forms of treatment combined. _ THE planters' mm.

Those interested in Fruit and Fruit grow? ing are cordially invited to inspect this the largest nursery in the Slate and one among the largest in the South. The proprietor has for many years vis? ited the leading Nurseries North and West, and corresponded with those of foreign countries, gathering every fruit that was calculated to suit the South, both native and foreign.
