Suffered 20 Years. 'I kN/ - ' f w f////' f/Jt M RS. MARY LEWIS, wlfra of a promi nent farmer, and well known by all old residents near Belmont, N. Y,. writes: “For twenty-seven years I had been a constant sufferer from nervous prostra tion, and paid large sums of money for doc tors and advertised remedies without bene fit. Three years ago my condition was alarming; the least noise would startle and unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, had a number of sinking spells and slowly grew worse. I began using JJr. Miles’ Restorative Kervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first the medicine seemed to have no effect, but after taking a few bottles I began to notice a change; I rested better at night, my appe tite began to improve and I rapidly grew better, until now I am as nearly restored to health as one of my age may expect.

Natty Byrne sat on Lis high stool near thu one window of the cabin in the falling dusk. He was tired of waiting, very tired, but his grandfuthir’s orders had been explicit, “fcjhtay here, Natty, till ye see me ag’iu. There’s bread in the cupboard an maybe u taste o’ but- ther, an I’ll bring somethin swute for ye from Carmore. ” 1 do not say that Natty Lud net thought of disobeying. As a matter of fact, the temptation had recurred at short intervals during the ; whole afternoon, once in the almost ir resistible form, that he ought to go and look at the pig, but he had got no far- j tfccr thau the door. Ho hud a great feel ing of importance too. He had never j been left alone for so long before, and the burden of responsibility pleased him. He had also a vague idta that something was going to happen, because two days before his grandfather had written a letter. The letter had cost old Nat half u day’s work, and he had j used a whole penny packet of stationery over it. As it grew darker Natty began to feel a little afraid. He would have left the high stool if the dignity derived from his exalted position had not bal anced the fact that his bare feet did not touch the ground. IIo was very proud of the stool. No other boy be knew had one like It, m4 t« wae tremely inoooveulent he often Intitied upon eating his meals at that distin guished altitude. From time to time ho glanced furtive ly around the cabin. Old Nat’s bed, narrow and dark, set against the wall like a ship’s berth, had a sinister look in that ambiguous twilight. Even Nat ty’s own little crib, which consisted of a deal platform raised a foot from the door, with a mattress on the top of it, looked unfamiliar. The peats on the open hearth burned dimly, the chairs seemed to have doubled in bulk since the sunshine faded, the rough wood ta ble loomed large and grim, /fter every furtive survey the boy brought his eyes back to the gray square of the window with a little shivering gasp, it occurred to him to light the lamp, hut as that was an oflice ho had never performed, it being beyond his years, he felt him self unequal to the task. Besides, that would mean trotting over the door, and in the darkness h ; s bare feet might touch something horrible. But all at once ho grew quite brave again, for ho heard the sound of foot steps coming slowly up the mountain pathway. It was too dark to soil who it was, but, of course, it must be old Nat, and Natty promptly began to wonder what the “somethin swute” might be that was at Tfcat moment doubtless get ting warm and sticky in his grandfa ther’s pocket. He climbed down from his stool and pattered softly over the hard earth floor to the door. The foot steps paused and there was a knock. Natty’s heart went down into his plump toes. Hu was so terrified that lie could not move to raise the latch. The knock was not repeated, but the door was softly opened, and Natty saw a dim head thrust in. “Is Nat Byrue at home?” asked a voice. “Blase, sorr, no!” gasped Natty. “ Whia’H he be back, an who are you at all?” “HoTI s hack, sorr, this minute an plase, fj* ».<atty. ” The stranger came in and closed the door. He peered curi ously around the room. “An who is Natty? Where are yo at all?" “Here,” said Natty. “Is it down there ye are? Well, well! Havo yo a light? Sure a cat couldn’t see in the like av this!” Natty, somewhat reassured, set a small lamp on the table and carried a box of matches to his visitor, “Will yo light it, sorr? i don’t know the way av it I” The matches were taken from his hand, and presently, to the boy’s re lieved eyes, the familiar cabin shone be fore him again. He was afraid no lon ger. The idea of a thief never occurred to him, and if it had, so far as Na ttj knew, there was nothing to steal. “hit down, sorr,” he said, “in the lit tle chair,” ho added. “The big wan’s grandad’s.’' The stranger obeyed him in silence, and Natty climbed up to his stool again to bring himself to a propsjr conversational level. "So ye’re Tom’s and Biddy’s boy* ' “1 am that,” said Natty. “Ana pretty pair they was, ” mur mured the stranger. He was a little, uairovr chested man, dressed in what seemed a Sunday suit of rusty black. His jaw was square; thu lips were thin and pursed; a pair of NinaJl black eyes glinted above w rinkled cheeks; the hair was close cropped around his bullet head. 'The hoy decided that he didn’t like him much. “How ould are ye?’’ thu man asked. “hiveu,” said Natty. “is it so long?” said the other. After g long silence Natty arose suddenly to the responsibility of his position. “Arc ye hungry, sorr?” ho a.-ked. “I am dead hungry,” The boy sense of his duty as host. “Arc yo tirud, Cousin Tim?” ha ask ed. “Deg tired, boy.” “Thin yo might sit in grandad’s chair. ’Tin finoauais-y.” Daly made the t x-hange of seats without speaking. He was, in fact, very tired indeed and not overpleuted at old Byrue’s myste rious bumaiont;. The men had not met lor six years, and there Lud been no love lost between them ui any timo. Daly was a well to do, haid headed man to whom poor relations were us the dregs in hi.« cup of fortune, Lut ho nev er dini.id the bond of blood if lie some times disregarded its rlniuH. “Do thin; boots hurt ye?” Natty in quired, curling up his own naked toes. “They do,” said Daly, “an I’ve walked tvviivo mile in ’em.” ‘’ T* k ’em utT,” said Natty. “Wait,” he lidded, jumping once more from his stool. “IT1 do it fur ye, Cousin Tim.” He was down on hi? knees before Daly Lud time to say a word, and whether it was (he simple kindness of the action or thu sight cf (he* curly bent h. ad or the unfamiliar touch of little lima rs I cannot say, but the man was struck home. “Ach, but it's a good boy ye ore,” ho said, patting Natty’s cheek. “Bouts,” said Natty, speaking from an iuiinitesiinul experience, “is terrible i tirin to the f; ore. There, Cousin Tim, the Lie an put on au- now I'll stiiir up oth. r pato. ” This : • lug accomplished, Natty again 1 perched himself on his stool. Daly i watched him v.ith blinking eyes.

In a moment be was asleep. It seemod to the boy that Cousin Tim’s head must bo uncomfortable against the bard wood, so be got Ms own small pillow, which had a chronic dusky hue, and Fettles’ it under again eyes. Half an hour after this Natty hoard other footsteps. He held up a warning fii.gs r as Nat entered ami pointed to the the man’s wiry nair. Duly smiled feebly, but without opening Lia murmured the old sleeping visitor. “ ’Tis Tim, sure, man. “He’s slapiu,” whispered Natty. Nat set down thu great basket he was carrying cautiously upon the table and examined Tim Daly with the closest at tention. The survey did rot appear to please him particularly. “.list the same, ” he said. “Divil a clang'’—a Mack, hard man, Cml help ’im!” There was a strange glitter in the old man’s red rimmed eyes, a look in which auger and triumph contended, but the latter won. lie had the marks of a hard life upon his lace amt body, deep lines, l ent shoulders, knotted and clumsy Lauds. His fi ;.t dragged as he moved, all the spring had long since left bis joints; yet he carried himself with u cerlain open dignity. Bagged giay hair fell round a Lee sharply eager and aquiline. The first thing he did was to take a bag of sweets from his pocket. These were trni.sftired to Natty, who imme diately fell to a contented munching of them. Then he unpack* <1 the basket and revealed to the boy’s astonished gaze luxuries which he had only dreamed of or seen in shop windows at Carmore—a tin of salmon, a i* t of jam, three loaves of white bread, a cake in silver paper and a bottle of wine. Nat bad hesitated long over the wine, but lie had con vinced himsilf that it was the prop 1 r thing, and so at la.-t hud bought it. All these viands were si t forth upon the ta ble, and Nat fell back to admire the if feet. “ ’Tis shplendid,” said Natty. “Ye may-ay that, iudade! This'll be a gn at aveniu, bedad! Not that ye’ll undi isbtand it, pet, but thim as wintTl know, Cod rest ’em!” “Is wo to ate thin, things?” asked the boy. “What else’il they be for? An ye’ll have jui share too.” Natty niado a noisu that indicated passionate inner surprise and joy. These preparation!) had not disturb ed the sleeping man, so Nat sat down to rest. Ho looked very obi and weary, very near the end of life, but what re- maided burned clearly. His one hope for tix years had been to accomplish whnt be v.’sh nt last n ady to do that night, hot whin he looked at Natty bis eyes grew a littl ' dim. At last he ruse and touched Daly up on the should* r. “That's a good boy, now,” the man murmured. “He thinks 'tis me,” said Natty, grin ning. A move vigorous shako brought him upright and fully awake. “Ye’re welcome, Tim Duly.” “Ah, an ye’re buck, thin, Nat.” They shook bunds with manifest re straint. “YV1I egsense me,” said Nat, “fur kapin ye waitin, hut ’twaa tomorrer I egspretod yo.” ’ i’was tomorrer the hither said, but I bud a slack day uu kern. I was telliu Nutty there uv it.’’ lie rested his Land for a moment on Natty's head. Nat drew the boy quickly away. “Dave ”ui be!” b< a.tid. Tim colored slightly and turned to roach his hands over the tire. “1 s'posn yo think a power av that boy, ” ho said. “I think the world «v him. Ivor sinoo bo \v* re a raw babe I’ve dune fur hi::, ::a why wouldn't 1 bn proud av ’im now?” “Timm f"r ye,” said Tim. “Why not, iudade?" “Dhru-.r up,” said Nat, “an let's ate.

In Nut's eyes the triumph Ftill shone; in Tim Daly’s there was a half pathetic, questioning lock, as though ho did not quite under stand it all. But Natty ws;: perfectly unconcerned. This godlike Bust exclud- i d every other po; silde thought or eou- sation—he ate and was satisfied. After the meal was over came the time of pipes and siletioo. Tim and Nat sat on opposite sides of the hearth. Natty, feeling unequal to the ascent of Lis high stool, squatted complacently on the edge cf bis bod. Ho soon became so slier y that Lis head dropped forward with n jerk. i inside yi r bed, Natty; not cut idc, ” said the old man. “Aft wid thim tilings, boy, quick. ” Nutty dis- 11 l i d iii an Luciiidibly short time—the untying cf u single string seemed to complete thy operation. Nat looked lovingly at the plump, brown body. “Fat?” he murmured to himself. “II ’s I.-fat as butt her, tho darliut!” Natty clh’cd undir his blanket and promptly went to sleep. After a time Nat rose and crossed the uneven Loor to tho bedside. IIo turned back the blanket to make sure that Nat ty was safely dreaming and then stoop- 1 cd awkwardly toward the boy’s face, tut his hack wa* too stiff for such an ex rcise, and he had to fall upon liia km is twin*-, tho moist forehead.

Hudyard Kipling, the greatest jroet of the present day, has a recent poem entitled “The Whito Man’s Burden,” in which ho portrays the whito man’s great opportunities anil terrible responsibilities to the other races of the world ; and how truth fully does this burden rest upon the white people of the United States, and especially the Southern States, towards the millions of negroes that are in our midst. The white man stands forth as the crowning act of God's creative en ergy so far us this world Is con cerned; and the burden of responsi bility for the uplifting of humanity rests mightly upon his shoulders. I venture the assertion that the while man is largely responsible for the pitiable condition of the negroes of the South, who are rapidly going from bud to worse. The negro, incapable of appreciat ing and assuming the rights of free dom and self control, were, a third of u century ago, made a part and pur ee! of our common country, and as a natural law of gravitation, they soon sunk to their level. But alas! they are still sinking, and here is where the strong arm of the white man should come to their rescue. The state of Georgia is but a fair specimen of the condition of the negro all over the South, ana there we find four thousand negroes today in tiie chaingang, and it is not for the want of eniightment, for seventy- five per cent., or three thousand, of these convicts can read and write. The chaingang is only a neces sary outgrowth and consequence of idleness and unwarrantable liberty. Who ever, in ante-belum days, heard of the hideous and blood curdling lynching that now so often darken end defame the pages of our coun try’s history. In slavery time there was a reciprocal feeling of respect and love between the kind master and faithful servant that lasted as long as life. But, sad to state, those faitliful old servants are passing away, and with them the feeling of respect and love that bound the two races together is dying out. Brorainent physicians assert that in slavery days consumption was al most an unknown disease among the negroes, but now this disease imbred and imborn in them sweeps them from the earth bv the tens of thous and. The present manner of life among the colored race contributes solely to this terrible disease. With no re gard for the Jaws of health, with scant and irregular food they turn night into|day, contract t coIds—their systems are not able to resist dis- eise.—deprived generally of proper nursing and treatment, death is a natural consequence. Virtue, purity, of life and charac ter, Is scarcely known or recognized In many places among the colored people, and sad to say debase white men are largely responsible. The white man’s burden of to-day calls for laws to defend and protect the negro Jwhen in his proper sphere, laws to restrain crime and promote well-doing. The negroes are a part and parcel of our population beneath their darken skin there dwells a human heart and In every human heart there is something divine. Then let us as white men “Take up tiie white man's burden And wottflj it well and Ioiik, Take up tin 1 white man's burden Nor do our neighbor wrong." N. G. Littlejohn. I'nelalmed Letter*.

There is a fat boy who sells papers and whose customary stamping ground is the corner of Euclid and Wilson ave nues. He is a popular fat boy. He is a fat boy with a humorous streak. He makes funny impromptu remarks on oc casions, but usually life with him is too full of car jumping episodes to war rant much levity. Not long ago be bad another boy with him. Perhaps he was couching the boy, perhaps the newcomer was a rival. Anyway the fat boy wus close at the heels of the other boy when a cer tain car was boarded a few mornings ago. "Mornin paper!” yelled the new boy. “Ail abont th’ big fire in th’ shoe shop —17 lives lost I” The fat boy fiercely yanked the new boy’s coattails. "What’s th’matter wid yon?” growl ed the new boy. “Ain’t I doiu it right?” And he gave (he cry again. “Yon chump,” snorted the fat boy, “you want to say ‘souls,’ not ‘lives.’ ’’ “Theunder, ” said the now boy, “I forgot. ” Then his voice solemnly arose again. “All about th’ big fire in th’ shoe shop—17 souls lost.” And the face of the fat boy broaden ed with wild delight.

Savannah, May 1.—Mr. W. T. Geddes of Glasgow, Scotland, aud Mr. Hole of Moore & Hole, London, both leading naval stores brokers in thsir respective cities, are here in ocnnection with trans actions In spirits turpentine. Mr. Geddes substantiated the report* which have come of a dearth of supply of spirits turpentine abroad. Every where, he says, the stocks are either ex hausted or nm down to an unusually small quantity. Distributing point* which have gen erally stocks on baud to meet pressing needs at this season of the year are now forced to look to London for supplies. At London the stock is at a low ebb, barely over 5,000 barrels at the present time, and with but little afloat. From what Mr. Geddes heard north and west, aud from his knowledge of conditions abroad, he was evidently im pressed with the strength of tUe posi tion of spirits tnrpentino at this time. Local operators look for better prices during the current season than have ob tained for many years.
