OLLA PODRIDA.
CTJKFEW SHALL NOT BING
TO-NIGHT.
Slowly England's sun was setting o'er the
bill-tops far away.
Filling all the land with beauty at the close of
one sad day,
And the last rays kissed the forehead of a man
and maiden fair,
He with footsteps slow and weary, she with
son ny floatiog bair ;
He with bowed beid, sad and thoughtful, she
with lips all cold and white,
Straggling to keep back the murmur
?'Curfew must not ring to-night."
"Sexton," Bessie's white lips faltered, point?
ing to the prison old,
With Its turrets tail and gloomy, with its
walls dark, damp and cold,
*Fve a lover in that prison, doomed this very
night to die,
AL the ringing of the Curfew, and no earthly
help is nigh ;
Cromwell will not come till sunset," and her
lips grew strangely white
As she breathed the husky whisper :
''Curfew must not ring to-night."
t*Be8sie," calmly spoke the sexton-every
word pierced her young bean
Like the piercing of an arrow, like a deadly
poisoned dart,
"Long, long years Pre rung the Curfew from
that gloomy, shadowed tower ;
Every evening, just at sunset, it has told the
twilight boor ;
I have done my duty ever, tried to do it just
and right.
Kow I'm old, ! still do it.
Curfew it must ring to-cigbt."
Wild ber eyes and pale her features, stern and
white ber thoughtful brow,
And within ber secret bosom Bessie made a
solemn vow.
She bad listened while the judges read without
a tear or sigh ;
"At the ringing of Curfew, Basil .Underwood
must die."
And ber breath came fist and faster, and her
eyes grew large and bright
In an andertone she murmured :
t4Curfew mast not ring to-night."
She with quick steps bounded forward,
Sprung within the old church doo,
Left the old man treading slowly paths so oft
he'd trod before ;
Xor one moment paused the maiden, but with
eye and cheek aglow,
Mounted up the gloomy tower, where the bell
swung to and fro.
As she climbed the dusty ladder on which fell
no ray of light,
1 Up and ap-her white lips saying
"Curfew shall not ring to-night."
She has reached the topmost ladder, o'er her
hangs the great dark bell,
Awful is the gloom beneath ber, like the path
- way down to hell.
Lo, the ponderous tongue is swinging, 'tis
the hour of Curfew now,
And the sight has chilled ber bosom, stopped
her breath and paled ber brow.
Shall she let let it ring ? No, never I Flash
ber eyes-with sudden light,
And she springs and grasps it firmly
'^Curfew shall not ring to-night ?"
. Out she swung, far out, the city seemed a
speck of light below,
'Twixt Heaven and earth her form suspended,
as the bell swung to and fro.
And the sexton at the bell rope, old and deaf,
heard not the bell,
Bat he thought it still was ringing fair
yonng Basil's funeral knell.
. Still the maiden clung more firmly, and with
trembling lips and white,
Said, to hush her heart's wild beating
"Curfew shall not ring to-night 1"
It was o'er, the bell ceased swaying, and.the
maiden stepped once more
Firmly on the dark old ladder, where for han
dred years before
Haman foot bad not been planted. The brave
deed that she bad done
Should be told long ages after, as the rays of
setting sun
Should illume the sky with beauty ; aged
sires, with heads of white,
Long should tell the little children
Curfew did not ring that night.
O'er tbe distant hills carce Cromwell ; Bessie
sees him and her brow,
Fall of hope and full of gladness, bas no anx?
ious traces now.
At his feet she tells herstory, shows her hands
all bruised and torn ;
And hnr face so sweet and pleading, yet with
sorrow pale and worn,
Touch-d his heart with sudden pity, lit bis
eye with misty ljjht ;
**6o! your lover lives," said Cromwell,
"Carfew shall not ring to-night ?"
THE TWO DOCTORS.
FOUNDED OX EXPERIENCE.
Thc New England village of N
contained two rival doctors, both of
whom were also rivals for the favor of
the lovely Miss Ella Deane. Dr. Simp?
son and Dr. Emmerns were two quite
different individuals Dr. Simpson
was somewhat more polished externally,
more conventional, more fresh from his
books, more given to routine, and, like
many other physicians lat? ly graduated,
felt that be could walk right ap to a
patient, feel of his pulse, see his tongue,
look wise, and then write off a Latin
prescription that would scatter the dis?
ease to the winds. Dr. ?mm o ns was
less formal, less fetterd by the schools,
lived-close to nature, aod, seeing how
predisposed all men are to run in ruts,
strove to think for himself, and to adapt
His remedies to the condition and tem?
perament of the patient. His hair was
sot so immaculately smooth a? that of
Dr. Simpson, and his coat was not quite
so fashionable, but he possessed a nobie
heart, and a genial soul shone out from his
whole face, while the earnest contact
of his hands with those of his patients
as he greeted them seemed to give them
new cheer and strength.
Both physicians were frequent visi?
tors at the residence of Dr. Deane, and
Loth considered it a great favor to have
ihe society and sprightly conversation
the beautiful Ella, whose sweet sim?
plicity of manner seemed to signify
that she was quite unconscious of her
own charms. Mr. Deane himself had
a most tender affection for his daughter,
and she in torn leaned on her father
arith all a dang brer's love.
Gradually it became apparent to alt
that Ella's health was failing, and that
her step, usually so elastic, was growing
languid, and her face becoming pale,
while a severe cough was setting in.
Dr. Simpson informed her father that
she was ia a serious condition and was
rapidly running into phthisis p:tlmon
alis. Dr. Em mons also informed him
that her case, though not yet dangerous,
was leading toto consumption and should
be attended to at once. Mr. Deane,
?oticing what learned words Dr. Simp?
son was in the habit of using and thut
be designated her disease phthisis pul
monalis at once, while Dr. Em mons
didn't know any better than to call it
consumption, concluded to employ the
former to treat bis daughter, in fact,
he hadn't the least idea that both terms
meant the same thing and that Dr. Em
mons generally used plain English
when talking to unprofessional people.
Dr. Simpson chuckled to himself over
the fact that his system of technical
claptrap had overawed Mr Deane and
gained his point. 'Cure her Y said he
to himself, 'of course I sbail cure her
in a little while, and she in her grati?
tude will easily be lcd to commit her?
self to my care and keeping for the rest
of her mortal life. As to Dr. Emmons,
I pity him-somewhat, bathe is evident?
ly not scientific and has lost the day.
Bhe must have some cod-l^-jr oil for
her biogs, and some ir?^n to tcne up her
blood, for she is afflicted with auiemia.'
With these thoughts the confi
Simpson went forward to put bis th
into practice, wholly unconscious ol
fact that there were causes lying 1
of. these conditions of stomach
lungs that must be reached if anytl
permanent was to be effected.
'Preposterous !' said Dr. Emmoc
himself, when he heard that cod-1
oil and iron had been forced down
a stomach that was so weak as to
unable to assimilate some of the sim
foods. 'It looks now as if that ai
girl was to be sacrificed to ignora
for the real cause of her present difE
ties will not be touched.'
Dr. Einmons did not say this be
the world at large, for they would 1
considered it. as a manifestation
professional jealously ; nevertbel
he grieved night and day (
the course which be felt sure w(
destroy that lovely temple of a hui
life. A few weeks served to prove
truth of his fears, for Ella steadily I
ed, the hectic flush made its appears
more intensely and ber cheeks grew 1
low. The poor girl was even torte
by blisters, wbiie her stomach was fi
with indigestible compounds. Fina
Dr. Simpson bad a consultation *
other physicians of tbe same stamj
himself, and as a result it was comm
icated to Hr. Deane that he must \
pare for the worst, as Ella's case
getting beyond haman power to sa
Mr. Deane was almost beside h
self with excitement, and turning ste
ly to the doctor, he exclaimed :
'Dr. Simpson, you have wronged
in tbis matter. When I placed
daughters case in your bands she "
not very low, and you declared that^
would have her all right in a little wh
Instead of that she has grown woi
My daughter herself declared that}
were not reaching ber chief difficult
and now I have come to tbe conclus
that you are scientific only io tbe usc
big words. Dr. Simpson, I want 3
to know that that dear girl is all I hs
in the world, and if she dies my s
will have gone from the sky, and I sL
never want to see your face again."
This was uttered with tears and
energy that made the doctor tremb:
but at the same time he tried to just
himself, declaring that God's pro
dence is inscrutable and beyond hum
power to beor?.
*It is more inscrutable,7 said R
Deane, 'that a man spend years at
medical college, and then when he co
menees practicing makes people wo?
than they were before. Allow me
say that I shall have, DO further use
your services."
It Deeded a thund?rbolt of righter,
indignation like this to set thc conceit
young man to thinking and to ma
him feel that something besides me
druggist's stuff shoald bc used for u
building human systems.
Mr. Deane went to Dr. Emmons a
begged him to make the most persiste
efforts to save his daughter, although
council of medical men had consider
the case quite hopeless.
Dr. Emmons at once stated that
had given him a severe and discoura
ing case to deal with, although it mig
have been easily controlled at fir:
However he would hope to save he
although it would be necessary for L
to undergo a process for eliminating t
impure elements caused by tbe disea
aud tho treatment that niigbt for t
time being almost overwhelm ber.
When Dr. Emmons went in to s
Ella, she sent back an appealing Io
into his very soul, exclaiming gentl
'Save me doctor, save me. I am n
afraid to go to the other life, and som
times I wish for its blessed rest, but n
dear father would be disconsolate and
feel that I must do some important wo
here before I go.*
The doctor thought that even in b
weakness and emaciation there w
something almost unearthly in that r
diant countenance, and takiog ber bat
tenderly in his, he exclaimed ; 'Yt
little woman, I will raise heaven ai
earth to save you if human power a
do it.'
He then told her that he would 0
ganize his forces and plans for a despe
ate encouter with her disease and aj
pear in the morning to carry them in
effect, but in thc meantime he wou
like to have her nurse make down wai
passes over her spiue and all ber lim!
wirb, the object of drawing the congestc
j blood away from tbe vital parts ; ali
j to practice transverse wringing mov<
meets over the same parts to kindle tl
blood.
That night Dr. Emmons felt a might
weight of responsibility upon him. ll
j prayed for light, for help, for powei
j Ile saw that the clogging and imput
j elements of her ?ystem must be throw
j off, and yet the ordinary methods (
sweatiug them off would be too weaker
ing for one who was already very weak
He had read how Baron D?puytre
cured a lady after the most entinen
physicians had failed by simply puttiri;
her into the light, and he had hear
marvellous tilings about the suu-healin.
movement in the country, especially ii
lung difficulties. Kl la had cheerful!
promised to submit to any course of treat
ment that Dr. Em mous mit'ht cotiside
I best, but in the morning whet) he ar?
I pearcd with a big funnel-shaped iustru
, ment made of bright metal ou one arti
! and a wooden frame somewhat resem
I hiing a chicken-coop on the other, shi
gave a hearty laugh
He then explained that bc had then
made in hot haste that morning-tin
j funnel, which was about two feet long
i being for the purpose of concentrating
? a large amount of light by reflection
J while the frame was for the purpo.-c 0
j going around her as she sat up in bed
j This had a large opening in the toj
i through which her head could come
while blankets were to be spread ovei
! the crate-like affair, leaving her beac
outside in the pure air and shutting it
the radiations of her btuiy as well as th(
sunlight which might be introduce':
through the funnel.
After a little laugh K'.la was bolster
cd up in bed, thc crate was placed ovei
her, a white blanket placed over that
aud the small end of the funnel inserted
through an opening in the crate so an t<
throw the light directly on the skin
over ber lungs. The bed was thou
wheeled up to the window so that thc
full sunlight, could come into thc lar^e
end of the tunnel, care being taken that
it should not strike Ella's head.
'Doctor you are a genius,' said Ella,
after the first trial. 'This heat is de?
lightful ! My dormant lungs drink it in
jas if they were famished. If the sun
j light is the great vitalizer, why should
j not it kindle up human bodies when it
j can get to them ? Doctor it begius to
burn.'
'Let it burn a little,' said the doctor,
.for it will Gre up the organs and draw
j some of the soreness outside.'
j After a little while the perspiration
started, though it had hard work to re?
lease the impure elements from the
fever-closed pores. This sweatiog pro?
cess was allowed to run twenty or thirty ;
minutes, the light bavi?g been thrown
upon the upper spine for a portion of
the time. The nurse then washed ber
io tepid water and was surprised tc fiod
sticky aDd even colored matter thrown
out upoD the skin.
4I feel easier and fresher thaD I have
for days/ said Ella.
'But I shall have to keep this up
every day for awhile,' said the doctor,
even if it should weaken you some?
what/
Day after day the work went on.
The struggle was severe. Sunlight and
massage roused the turbid elements to
the very foundation, and one night he
was sent for with the announcement
that she was dying.
'I don't believe it/ said he, though
at heart be was somewhat alarmed.
.The crisis has come, and I trust that
with a little help she will get safely
thnJush/ He found her almost smoth
ering, but ordered a hot foot bath,
which drew the blood downward and
gave relief.
She had passed the Rubicon. From
that time onward she moved steadily
upward, to the great chagrin of the
other doctors. She soon sat up, then
walked a few steps out of doors, then
took short rides, then longer rides, and
fioally she declared that her health was
in as good condition as ever. The roses
came back to ber cheeks, and elasticity
to her steps.
But another change had been going
on between the patient and her physi?
cian. To each ?lie approach of the
other was like the coming of a new sun
into the sky. With childlike simplic?
ity and yet with delicacy they uttered
their kind regards to each other.
Finally when the doctor determined
to bring matters to an absolute crisis,
Ella knew it as weli as he.
.Sweetest of women/ said he.
'Noblest of men,? said she.
'You darling you know well enough
what I am up to.'
*Of course I do/ was her answer,
.but say it nevertheless '
4 Will you be my sweeter half for ever
and ever ?'
'Certainly, dear, if you will be my
stronger half for ever and ever.'-E. D.
Babbitt, ia Phrenological Journal.
Mrs. Chap?n in Mobile.
MOBILE, Jan. 31.-Mobile gave
such a hearty reception to the distin?
guished lady representative of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Un?
ion, Mrs. Sallie F. Chapin, at Sea?
men's Bethel that the house was not
large enough to coutain the crowd
which assen?Med, aitd the meeting
had to be adjourned to the Govern?
ment Street Presbyterian Church,
which notwithstanding the fact that it
is the largest edifice of its kind in the
city, could not coutain those who de?
sired admittance.
The vast audience was charroed
with the captivating temperance ad?
dress of the lady, as well as with her
associate, the charming vocalist, Mrs.
Judge Brooks, of Selma, Ala., who
rendered some touching temperance
songs. The presence of these ladies
and their work has aroused the spirits
of temperance people, and brought
additions to their ranks. The ultima?
tum of the project is prohibition, and
it will be preached throughout the
city in^the*churches. Apropos of the
subject, Mobile has a population of
16 955 whiles and 12,443 colored, lt
is said the colored people strongly
favor prohibition. Mobile has at
least 300 places where the above pop?
ulation may get by wholesale or re?

DR. L. C. KENNEDY, of Spartanburg,

forty years, ?nd can attest to its value in
Dyspepsia from gastric or functionnl derange?
ment of the Liver, Geueral Dtbiliiy, Dropsical
Effusions. Uterine Irregularity and Affections
of the Kidneys and Bladder. To the last dis?
eases I would particularly call attention, as
the waters haie showu large curative powers
tn these complaints."
Da. ?. B. MAYER, of Newherry, S. C.,
savs: "I have sent more than fifty persons
suffering with Jaundice to these Springs, aud
have never been disappointed in any case;
they all speedily recovered. I cannot find
? ords to express my confidence in the Glenn
Springs water, as a remedy for the Liver,
when functionally deranged. Dyspepsia,
Dropsy, certain skin diseuses, troubles in the
Kidneys and S?>lven, if produced hy the Liver,
have ali, as I know, disappeared at the

DR. JAMES MCINTOSH, President of the M?d?

"Glenn Sprinzs, for diseases of the Stomach,
