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. Andrews came to
him. then Mrs. Andrews called, bat he
put his. finger in his month and would
come. " Then his Susan went oat and
said :
-"Now Davy, what's the scrimmage?
He'un hasn't come yere to hart we'ans."
? "I ain't scast";

woods to see, the new: cabin which had
been erected for the bridal couple. It

with ho door to the doorway and no sash

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.

Until your hair becomes dry, thin, and
gray before giving the attention needed
to preserve its beauty and vitality.
Keep on your toilet-table a bottle of
Ayer's Hair Vigor?the only dressing
you require for the hair?and use a little,
daily, to preserve the natural color and
prevent baldness.
Thomas Munday, Sharon Grove, Ky.,
writes: " Several months ago my hair
commenced falling out, and in a few
weeks my head was almost bald. I
tried many remedies, but they did no
good. I finally bought a bottle of Ayer's
Hair Vigor, and, after using only a part
of the contents, my head was covered
with a heavy growth of hair. I recom?
mend your preparation as the best hair
restorer in the world."

The American Fruit Preserving
POWDER
AND
WE have been handling this valuable
preparation for several years with
great success, and have no hesitation in re?
commending it to our friends. Some few
have not been successful with it, but we
are confident it is because they failed in
some respect to follow directions. If di?
rections are properly followed there is no
doubt of its efficacy. We have many re?
commendations and certificates from our
people here in the County, but for the
present will mention only a few. Dr. R. A.
Reid, of the well-known and reliable
Drug firm of Simpson, Reid & Co., says:
Messrs. Hill Bros?Sirs : With much
satisfaction I recommend your Fruit Pre?
serving Liquid and Powder. I have tried
the same with tomatoes, plums, apples,
peaches and cherries. Find all the above
perfectly preserved, with the natural taste
of fruit, with no unpleasant tasto what?
ever. Yours,
R. A. Reid.
Messrs. Hill Bros?Dear Sirs : Al?
though .we used your Preserving Fluid
with misgivings, we have no hesitancy
now in'saying tue fruit and vegetables have
kept perfectly, and without any unpleas?
ant flavor. The great advantage over the
ordinary method of canning is, that the
Fluid is more reliable, keeps larger pack?
ages, and they can be opened ana re-open?
ed without injury to the fruit, Ac.
