Qoad" Eyo Drops ?.gpoony Coaplo and Gives Them Awsy. is The next day after the affair at Barton's nvTennessee I went over to Andrew's Fork, seven or eight miles away, and was made heartily welcome at the largest of the three cabins. Andre ws 'had a daugh? ter about 20 years old, and I soon under stc?? that she. was~to be married next day. -Indeed, the lucky youug jnan was on the ground and waiting. He was a six footer, slim as" a toothpick, awkward as a calf, and dead -in love.. The-girl was more shy, bnt not to be bluffed by my presence. When I entered the front door the young man,who answered the name ofJD?vy, ran out the back. He felt con fAised and embarrassed, and, taking his seat on a log about thirty \ feet. from the house^heliid his fece as much? as possi? ble behind a sapling.

It was an.humble.etractu*e* made of poles, with ho door to the doorway and no sash in the window. The ground was beaten down hard, for a floor there was *a rude fireplace at one end, and a-bedstead had b^n ina^e of poles laid in crotches.

Quad, in Detroit Free Press. How a Cat Saved a Knight, A little more than four hundred years ago there was a bloody war in England. It was about the succession to the crown which was claimed by two rival families. England has had several of these wars, but this was the most terrible of all. As each family wore a rose for its distinctive badge, that of Lancaster a red and that of York a white rose, this struggle is known in history as the War of ?the Roses. It lasted over thirty years, and there was a great deal of fighting and bloodshed and many cruel things were dono, 80 that, as one writer expresses it, the white roses became red roses at the last. While the conflict was going on, it kept the country in a state of continual commotion. The peace and happiness of hundreds of families all over the land was destroyed, for some took side with one party, and others with the rival side. Murders and assassinations and impris? onments innumerable grew out of it. They were horrible times indeed. Among the families which this war broke up was.that of Sir Henry Wyatt a brave knight of Kent, who buckled on his sword and went to fight for the Bed Boso. Els attachment to the house of Lancaster proved an unfortunate thing for the Kentish knight, for he was taken prisoner and clapped into a cold, damp dungeon, where he was kept "in irons and stocks" for upwards of two-years, and where he like to have perished from cold and starvation. - Sir Henry was a flne'and noble gentle* man. Says his biographer, "There was no man more pitiful; no man more true to his word; no man faster fco his friend, no man dOigenter nor more circumspect." As I said, he'. was kept both cold and. hungry^, and he was so reduced that at one. time he thought he should die. Bat one day, when he was nearly per? ished, Sir Henry had a visitor. It was only a large black and white cat) that entered the prisoner's - cell in a very friendly way. Sir Henry rubbed his thin,1 cold hands in pussy's warm fur and spoke kindly to her. The cat lingered a long while as though fond of the petting. When at last it went away the knight was discon? solate, thinking probably he should never see it again, and fearing that he should perish there from want and star? vation. The next day,' however, pussy returned], and this time she brought , a plumb pigeon, which she laid at Sir ^Henryk ? feet, looking up to his face'as' much as to Bay, "See, I have brought you something to eat." Of course pussy - thought the pigeon. was all ready for eating, but the knight could not, like a cat, eat the bird before it was cooked. Still he was thankful, and spoke kind words to her. After the cat was gone and the knight was left alone, ho began to think how he should contrive to get a pigeon cooked. At last 'he hit.on a plan. ; When one of the keepers came'to bring "hiB"daily - allowance of food, ho said: "This is not Christian, to starve a man. Here isn't enough to keep life in a cat." . "I dare not better it," answered the man. ./ "Suppose now that I could furnish flesh, would you dress it for me." "Certes; anything that you can pro? vide we will attend to and make it nour? ishment fit for Christians," replied the keeper. "You-swear to dress and cook any food I may procure, and bring, the same to me I" said Sir Henry, determined to have a definite promise from the man. "By the Holy Virgin, I swear it," he answered. vProbably he was suprised at the sight of the pigeon.; but he must often after? wards have been more surprised. For pussy seemed to labor under the convic? tion that her friend did not have enough to eat, and often brought her game to bis cell. The jailor, who could not have been wholly heartless, was true to his promise, and carefully prepared for the table what the cat brought. . " This went on for several months, and the knight was saved from starvation; and a day came at last when the prison door was opened, and he came out free. He lived after this many years, holding great state at his castle of Allington in Kent, and became one.of the favorite knights of King Henry VH, who con? ferred on him many important offices. But amid all his wealth and grandeur, he never forgot the. four-footed creature that fed and nourished him when he was a starving prisoner, and he always kept a large number of cats around him, and had a certain sum laid aside every year for their support. There are several portraits of Sir Henry Wyatt preseved in various places, and they all represent him with a cat Bitting beside him. And I suppose it was on account of this adventure and in remembrance of his almost miraculous preservation that the good knight had his picture thus taken.?Fred Myron Colby, in Portland Transcript, ? A London coroner has raised "the question whether a man can cough him? self to pieces. A broken rib was found in a- deceased lunatic, when medical evidences was brought forward to show that under certain abnormal conditions bones may be broken by muscular efforts, or even by a violent fit of coughing. ? "Did you bake these biscuits ?" he asked at the supper table. "Yes, George, I made them expressly for you," she win ningly replied. "And yet," said George, vainly trying to pry open a biscuit, "you have always told me you loved me, and couldn't live without me." ?

Laws of Health, A knowledge of the laws of health, and their practice, cannot be learned all at once, but only progressively?the same as we learn a trade, an art, or a science?by observation, Btudy, and ex? perience. The human constitution has its laws of order, as definite and certain as those as astronomy; yet, they are even mOre difficult to learn ; for the human consti? tution is the most complex and perfect of all created existence. Hence, what we can here say is only suggestive and fragmentary. Cheerfulness?and good will are of the first importance to human health. Therefore take the generous side. Study benevolence and the welfare of others for earth's sake as well as for heaven. He whose tendencies are all centrifugal or outward can hardly be sick. . Sunlight?is as essential to animal as vegetable life. A celebrated physician 8ays, tbe number of patients cured in hospital rooms exposed to the rays of the sun, were four times as great as those confined in darkened rooms. Fbesh Air.?The air is the only agent which keeps the blood pure and enab'es it to circulate and impart life power to the system. It no less sustains life, by imparting this wonderful pro? perty to the blood, than by expelling the impurities or wornout matter which the veins have collected and brought to the lungs for expulsion, and which if left in the system but a few moments, would cause death. Exercise?is best if taken in some employment for an object. Begin and end slowly. It is well to carry out our exercise to the point of fatigue if the system soon rallies from it; but for health no greater fatigue should be incurred than a night's rest will remove. To sleep well and gain strength, the body must be fatigued. Food.?A free use- of palatable fruit is essential. We must learn to distin? guish between a real appetite and a mere superficial taste. The taste of sugar, for instance, may be agreeable when there is no real need or appetite for it. Take few varieties of food at one meal. It is well now and then to omit by turns tbe use of every article of food even bread, thus preventing the system ?from becoming tied to any injurious routine. It would not amiss to make an occasional meal of some palatable fruit or vegetable, in its season,, when best relished. Water?An abundant supply and free use of pure, soft Water is essential to health. . Water is the only fluid capable of circulating in all the tissues of the body, and penetrating its finest vessels without irritation or injury. No other liquid than water can dissolve the vari? ous article of food taken into the stom? ach. It is water alone which forms all the fluid portions of the blood, and thus serves to convey the nutriment to all parts of the body for its growth and replenishment. And it is Water which takes up the decaying particles, and conveys them, by a most complicated and wonderful system- of drainage, alto? gether from the body. When good, soft water cannot otherwise be. obtained, a small outlay for cistern and filter will secure an abundant supply of rain water, equal to any. .Bathing.?Much cold bathing ex? haust vitality. Much warm bathing produces undue relaxation and sensitive? ness. Hence, to secure the best results, avoid these extremes. The temperature of the water and surrounding air should be such as to allow a bath to be taken deliberately. With these Conditions, and a moderately coarse towel, a yard -in length, to apply the water, a very thorough bath may be taken. The towel bath affords excellent exercise for those engaged in sedentary employments. Eiss Me, Mamma, I Can't Sleep. The child was so sensitive, so like that little shrinking plant, curls at the breath and shuts the heart from the heart. The only beauties she possessed where an exceedingly transparent Bkin and the most mournful large blue eyes. I had been trained by a very stem, strict, conscientious mother, but I was a hardy plant, rebounding after every shock; misfortune could not daunt, though discipline tamed me. I fancied, alas I that I" must go through the same routine with this delicate creature; as one day she displeased me exceedingly by repeating an offense, I was determined to punish'her severely. I waB very seri? ous all day, and upon Bending her'to her little couch, I Baid: "Now, my daughter, to punish you, and show you how very, very naughty you have been, I shall not kiss you to night." She stood looking at me, astonishment personified, with her great mournful eyes wide open?I suppose she had for? gotten her misconduct till then, and I left her with big tears dropping down her cheeks, and her little red lips quiver? ing. Presently I was sent for; "Oh, mam? ma, you will kiss me; I can't go to sleep if you don't 1" she sobbed, every tone of her voice trembling, and she held out her little hands. Now came the struggle between love and what I falsely termed duty. My heart said give her the kiss of peace; my stern nature urged me to persist in my correction that I might impress the fault upon her mind. That was the way I had been trained, till I was a most sub? missive child; and I remember bow I had often thanked my mother since for her straightforward course. I knelt by the bedside. "Mother can't kiss you Ellen," I whispered, though every word choked me. Her hand touched mine; it was very hot, but I at? tributed it to her excitement. She turned her little grieving head to the wall; I blamed myself as tbe little fragile form Bhook with self-suppressed sobs, and cry? ing, "Mother hopes little Ellen will learn to mind her after this," left the room for the night. Alas! in my desire to be severe, I forgot to be forgiving. It must have been 12 o'clock when I was awakened by my nurse. Apprehen? sive, I ran eagerly to my child's cham? ber. I had a fearful dream. Ellen did not know me. She was sit? ting up, crimsoned from the forehead to the throat, her eyes so bright that I almo?t drew back aghast at their glances. From that night a rpging fever drank up life; and what think you was the incessant plant that poured into my anguished heart. "Ob, kiss me mamma, do kiss me; I can't go to sleep." Holy little angel! she did go to sleep one gray morniug, and she never woke again, never. Her hands were locked in mine and all my veins grew icy with its gradual chill. Faintly the light faded out of the beautiful eyes; whiter and. whiter grew the tremulous lips.' She: never knew me; but with her last breath^ she whispered, "I will be good, mamma, if only you'll kiss me.'* Kiss her! God knows how passionate, but unavailing were my kisses upon her Cheeks and lips after that fatal night. God knows how wild were my prayers that she might know, if but only once I kissed her. God knows I would have asked forgiveness of that sweet child. Well, grief is unavailable now I She lies in her little tomb. There is a mar? ble urn at her head, and a rosebush at her feet; there grow sweet summer flowersj there Waves the gentle grass; there birds sing their matins and ves? pers; there the blue sky smiles down to* day, and there lies b?ried the freshness of my heart,?Ladies Borne Journal. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Raleigh, N. G, September 9.?Dur? ing the severe electric storm at Little Rock, Marion county, South Carolina, day before yesterday, lightning struck the house of T. N. Covington, instantly killing his wife and severely injuring him, Mr. Medlin and Miss Wetherly. The bolt struck the chimney and came down tearing it to pieces. Mrs. Coving ton was on the sofa. Her death was in? stantaneous. Miss Wetherly was stunned so badly that her recovery was despaired of. Mr. Covingtou's foot was split open by the bolt. Elizabeth, Ills., September 9.?For several years John Server has been pay? ing his attentions to Miss Joe Ferrel, daughter of Captain J. S. Ferrell, a well known and highly respected citizen of this place. His suit was distasteful to the parents of Miss Ferrell, and they have done everything in a quiet way to alienate them. A few months ago they se^t her to relatives at Metropolis, Ills, as a means of separating them. She remained until yesterday evening and 'then returned home. She accepted Server's company last evening and they started for her.home. Theygot just be? yond the town limits when five pistol shots where heard in rapid succession. Hurrying to the spot from whence the shots came, both bodies were found by the roadside, each weltering in its own blood. The unfortunate girl had been shot twice, the first ball taking effect in the back just midway between the shoul? ders, and the other in the muscle of the left arm. She was suffering terribly, while a few feet away from her lay the body of Server, his eyes closed as if in death. By his hand lay a 38 calibre American bull-dog with which he had mst sent two bullets crushing through his body just below his heart. He was con? scious but very weak, and in answer to a question, stated that he had nothing to say. A few moments after the father of Miss Ferrell came riding up with a double-barrel shotgun, and was in the act of emptying its contents into the helpless and dying body of Server, when it was wrenched from his hands. Server was carried to the residence of his brother and is now rapidly growing weaker. He cannot recover. Miss Ferrell was con? veyed to her home, and while the wounds are serious it is thought that there is some chance of recovery. An old colored man witnessed the tragedy from a dis? tance. He says that when they passed him they were quarreling, and after going a short distance further he saw her start to run and heard her scream. A moment later he heard the shots. Three of them were fired at her, one missing and two taking effect, as above stated. The last two were aimed at his own heart and missed the mark about one inch. Server is twenty-six years of age and is a clerk and a quiet young man, but cool and des? perate when aroused. It is presumed that unrequited love, as a result of the opposition to their match) led him to commit the terrible deed. A negative answer from her lips rendered him des? perate. After Twenty-seven Years. St. Pa?l, Minx., Sept. 3.?William L. Hurley, a veteran of the rebellion, passed through Minneapolis yesterday after having visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Hurley, who live on a farm about four miles from Ortonville. This was the first time in twenty seven years that the son has seen his parents, and it was naturally an offecting meeting. The aged mother could hardly be convinced that the son whom she had supposed to be dead for a quarter of a century was still in the land of the living. The Hurley family were living in Missouri when the war broke out, and William Hurley had not attained his majority, but he entertained staunch Union principles. These were not very popular where he lived, ai r) he decided to leave home, go North a'_d enlist. He went to Iowa, and was soon bearing arms. Shortly after be he left home his parents moved to Minnesota and established themselves in Big Stone County, upon the banks of Big Stone Lake. The sou was unable to find his parents and he went to Philadelphia, where he engaged in business. It was not until about a month ago that his persistent inquiry was rewarded. His parents had long since concluded that their son had met a soldier's death. Another singular feature of the case is this: Young Hurley married shortly be? fore he enlisted, and his wife died in childbirth a few months later. The infant was adopted by a family who subsequent? ly moved to Minneapolis. Mr. Hurley learned of these circumstances, but was never able to find the daughter whom he had never seen. About a month ago, however, and almost simultaneously with the discovery of his parents' whereabouts he was made happy by learning that his daughter was married and living in a pleasant Wisconsin town. Mr. Hurley was going to his daughter's home when he passed through Minneapolis.
