Sir Hugh yawned for the twentieth time behind his paper, rubbed his eyes, stretched himself, and then let down the window and looked absently down the long country road winding through the stubble land; and then at the eddying heaps of dry crisp leaves now blown by the strong November wind under the horses' feet. and now whirling in crazy circles like witches on Welpurgie’s night, until after a shivering remonstrance from his little wife he put up the window with a jerk, and threw himself beckwith a. discontented air on the cushions. “ There is nothing to be seen for a mile or two, Fay, and it is growin dusk now ; it will soon be too dark to istinguish a single object ;” and so saying, he relapsed into silence, and took up the obnoxious paper again, though the words were scarcely legible in the twilight ; while the young bride tried to restrain her weariness, and sat patiently in her corner. Poor Hugh, he was already secretly repenting of the hasty step he had taken ; two months of Alpine scenery, of quaint old German cities, of rambling through galleries of art treasures with his child-bride, and Hugh had already wearied of his new bonds. All at once he had awakened from his brief delusion with an agony of remembrance, with a terrible heart-longing and home- sickness, with a sense of satiety and vacuum. Fey's gentleness and beauty palled on him; her artless questioning fatigued him. In his secret soul he cried out that she was a mere child and no mate for him, and that he wanted Margaret. If he had only told his young wife, if he had confided to her pure soul the secret that burthened his, child Is she was, she would have understood and pitied and forgiven him; the very suffering would have given her added womsnliness and gained his respect, and through that bitter knowledge, honestly told and generously received, s. new and better Fay would hove risen to win her husband's love. “ Shall we soon be home. Hugh ‘2" “ Very soon, Wee Wifie.” “ Then please put down that great cracking paper behind which you have been asleep the last two hours, and talk to me a. little. I want to know the names of the villages through which we are passing, the big houses, and the people who live in them, that I may not enter {my dear new home a perfect stranger to its surroundings ;" and Lady Redmond shook out her furs, and settled herself anew with fresh dignity. But he did not tell herâ€"such a thou ht never entered his mind. So day by my her youth and innocent gsiety only Ilieneted him more, until he grew to look upon her as a. mere child. who must be patted Ind humored, but who could never be his friend. Yes, he was bringing home his bride to Redmond Hall, and that bride was not Margaret. In place of Mnrgnret’s grand fooe,framad in its dead-brown hair and deep. pathetic eyes, was a childish face, with a. small rose-bud month that was just now quivering and plaintive. " fiear Hugh, I arm so very tired, and yop will not talk to me," in n and babyish vome. Fay dropped her head, for she was ashamed of the bright drops that stole through her lashes from very weariness. Hugh would think her babyish and fretful. She must not forget she was Lady Redmond ; so she answered, without looking " Fay Redmond," she whispered. “ Oh yes, it is far prettier," and s tender smile came to her face. an expression of wonder- ful beauty. “ Did ever name sound half so sweet as that ‘2" ‘7'", Will talking rest you, Birdie,” asked Hugh, dropping his psdper and taking the listless lxfitle hsyd_kin _ly. _ “ We have been travelling since daybreak this morning you know. Hugh, and it is all so fresh and strange to me, and I want to hear your voice to make it seem real somehow ; perhaps I feel stupid because I am tired, but I had an odd fancy just now that it was all a dream, and thst I should wake up in my little room at the cottage and find myself again Fay Mordaunt.” " Is not file near name. prettier, dear “P” obgarved he: puabgng, ggntlx. “P.

To be sure she smiled, and said it was a little oldâ€"fashioned; but I was so anxious to learn the rules perfectly that I read it over three or four times." “ A_n'(i ‘V The Polite Match-Maker ’ would not approve of Wee Wifie. you think ‘2" and Sir Hugh tried to repress a. smile. “ Oh, I am sure of it," she returned, seriously ; “ the forms of address were so seriously ; different." “ Givgme an example, then, or I can haldly _pr9fit by the} rule.” .1 1 ,A ,1,, Fay had no need to consider, but she hesitated for all that. She was never sure how Hugh would take things when he had that look on his face. She did not want him to laugh at her. “ Of course, it is old-fashioned, as Aunt Griselda. says ; but I know the ‘ Match- Maker ’ considered ‘ Honored Wife.’ or ‘ Dearest Madam,’ the correct form of ad- dress.” And as Hugh burst out laughing, she continued, in a slightly injured toneâ€" “ Of course I know that people do not use those terms now, but all the same I am sure Aunt Griselda would not think Wee Wifie sufficiently respectful."â€"â€"and here Fay looked ready to cryâ€"â€"“ and though the book is old-fashioned she said many of the rules were excellent.” “ But, Fay," remonstrstea her husband, “ does it not strike you that the rules must be obsolete, savoring of the days of Sir Charles Grandison and Clarissa Harlowe? Pshswl” with s frown, “ I forgot I was gauging a child’s intellect. Well,” turning to her,“ what is your busy little mind hatching now ‘7” -. 7‘ .- cu “ Dear Hugh." stnmmered Fay timidly, “ I know I am very ignorant. and I ought to know better, and I will look in the dictionary as soon as I but I do not know the meaning of the word obsolete.” Vir‘IPsrlrmrw I" again muttered Sir Hugh; then aloud, “the term. honored madam, signifies disused, out of date, ancient, antiâ€" quatgé, afltiqpe, neglected and so on.” “ Ah, Hugh, now)I know you are laugh- ing at me; but,” rather anxiously, “ ‘ The Match-Maker ' cannot be all wrong, can it, ? It is only what you call absolete.” “ My dear child,” answered Hugh, gravely, ” you can trust your husband’s judgment, I hope, before even this wonder- ful bookiin this matter I am sure you can ; and in my opinion the prettiest name I could have selected is this ‘ Wee Wifie.’ It pleases me,” continued Hugh, his fine features working with secret pain. “ It is no name of the past, it touches on no hope- for fortune, and it reminds me of my little wife’s claim to forbearance and sympathy from her extreme youth and ignorance of the world. To others you may he Lady Redmond, but to me you must ever be my Wee Wifie.” Fay clasped his neck with a little sob. “ Yes, you shall call me that. I know I am only a silly ignorant little thing, and you are so grand and wise; but you love your foolish little wife, do you not, Hugh ?” “ Yes, of course ;” but as Hugh hushed the rosy lips with that silencing kiss, his conscience felt an uneasy twinge. Did he really love her ? Was such fond- ness worth the acceptance of any woman' when, with all his efiorts, he could scarcely conceal his weariness of her society. and already the thought of the life-long tie that bound them together was becoming intoler- able to him ? But he shut his ears to the accusing voice that was ever whispering to him that his fatal error would bring its punishment. Well, he _was responsible. humanly speaking, for the happiness of this young life; as far as he knew how, he would do his duty. “ Well, sweetheart," he observed, glanc- ing enviously at Fay’s bright face. now quite forgetful of fatigueahow could she be tired while Hugh talked to her 1â€"“ what other amusing rules does this marvellous book contain ‘2” “ I do think it is a marvellous book, though it is somewhat obsolete ;” and here FEy‘ stamgneref! qver the formidable we'rd‘. “ I know it said in one place that married people ought to have no secrets from each other, and that was why I told you about Frank Lumsden ;” and here Fay blushed very*pret_til_y. "ifrank Lumsden," observed Hugh, in some perplexity ; “ I don’t think I remem- berhli‘ay.” “ N 0t remember what I told you that Sunday evening in the laneâ€"the evening after we were engaged l How Mr. Lumsden wanted to tell me how be admired me, but I cried and would not let him ; and he went away so unhappy, poor fellow. As though I could ever have caredfor him,” continued Fay, with innocent scorn, as she looked up into Hugh’s handsome face. He was regarding her attentively just then. “ Hush, deer, we cannot talk any more now ; we have passed the church and the Vicarage alreadyâ€"we are nearly home ;” and as he spoke they came in sight of the lodge, where Catharine was waiting with her baby in her airms. Here too were the aged beeches; some with contorted holes, and marvellouely- twisted limbs, like Titans struggling in their death-throes, and others with the sap of youth still flowing through their woody veins, as they stood clothed in the beauty of their pain. Fay had often played in this wonderful avenue. She remembered, when she was a. child, rambling with her nursein the Redmond woods, with their “ Hugh,” whispered Fay, softly, ” you have not kept any secrets from me, have you? Iknow I am very young to share 511 your thoughts, but you will tell your little wife evegything, will you not 7” A “ Why are you so silent, Hugh; you havefino pecfets surer ’2” Wayfarers, toiling along the hot and dusty road that leads from Singleton to Sandyclifie, always paused to look through the great gate at the green paradise beyond. Yes, she was pretty, he knew thatâ€"- lovely, no doubt, to her boy lovers. But to him, with the memory of Margaret’s grand ideal beauty ever before him, Fay’s pink and pearly bloom, though it was as purely tinted as the inner calyx of a rose, faded into mere color prettiness. And as yet the spell of those wonderful eyes, of which Frank Lumsden dreamt, had exercised no potent fascination over her husband’s heart.

There will be light enough there ;” and scarcely had the words passed his lips before the Hall burst upon themâ€"a long low range of building. with its many win- dows brilliantly illuminated and ruddy with firefight, while through the open door the forms of the assembled servants moved hither and thither in a. warm background of light. . . ‘1 v n ,,:,:| 12“” - “0..-. “ What». lovely old place,” cried Fay, breathless with excitement. “ I had almost forgotten how beautiful it was, butI shall see it better by daylight to- marrow." “Yen;H he returned, with a. sigh, “I shallhave plenty to show you, Fay, but now let me help you off with those furs, tang lift y_ou pug." .. n a n , L_,_.__ Fay shook herself free of the heavy wraps, and then sprang lightly to the ground ; and with her head erect like alittle queen, stepped over the threshold of her new home with her hand still in her husband’s. The circle of men and women gathered in the great hell, with the housekeeper and grey-haired butler at their head, thrilled with a vague surprise and wonder at the sight of the childish figure beside their master. “ Good evening to you all,” said Hugh, trying to speak cheerfully, though there was a. huskiness in his pleasant voice that was foreign to it. “ You see I have brought home your new mistress at last, Ellerton. Mrs. Heron," shaking hands with her, “ you must give Lady Redmond 8. hearty Welcome."_ v... 1.1 ‘11, “ Yes, indeed. SirHugh,” and the stately honeskeeper folded her plump hands and looked complacently at the pretty face before her. “ A thousand welcomes both to you and her ladyship, Sir Hugh, and a long life and a happy one to you both.” But the housekeeper, as she ended her little speech with an elaborate curtsey, was marvelling in her kindly heart what on earth had possessed her master to bring this lovely child to be the mistress of Redmond Hall. Beyond divided by the yew-hedge was the h rb-guden, wherein the olden time, manya. notable house-mother, with her Chintz skirts hustled through her pocket- holes, gathered simples for her medicines, and sweet-smelling lavender and rosemary for her presses of home-spun‘linen‘. 1 “ Thank you, very much,” returned Fay, timidly. and her sweet face flushed as she spoke' “ I trust we shall soon become good friends. I know how you all love my dear husband, and I hope in time that you will be able to love me too for his sake.” " There can be no doubt of that, I should think. Mrs. Heron,” returned Sir Hugh, moved in spite of himself ; and at his tone the shy fingers closed more tightly round his. Those who were standing by never forgot Fey‘s look, when the girl-wife raised her beautiful eyes to her husband’s face. “ And now," cantinued Sir Hugh, “ you are very tired. Fay. but our good Mrs. Heron willshow you your rooms, that you may rest and refresh yourself after your long journey. This is your maid, I believe.” turning to a fresh, bright-looking girl, behind him ; then, as Fay obediently left him, “ What time will dinner he served, Ellerton ’2” “ At a. quarter to eight, Sir Hugh.” “ Very well ; I hope there are lights and a. fire in the study." On one side were the stables and kennels, and on the other a. walled sunny garden, with fruit trees and a clipped yew-hedge and a sun-dial, on which a stately race of pegoocksjoxegijq p_lum_§ t11emse}ves. “ Yes, Sir Hugh, and in the damask drawing~room as well.” But his master did not seem to hear him, as he walked slowly across the hall on his way to his dressing-room.

Browning Redmond Hall was a curious old house ; it had been built originally in Gothic style, but an aspiring Redmond,who was ignorant of the laws of architecture and not possessed with the spirit of uniformity, had thrown out windows and added wings that savored strongly of the Tudor style, while here and there a buttress or arch was decidedly Norman in its tendency. r The Serious owners of the Hall, holding all modern innovations in sbborrence, had preserved its antiquity as for as possible by restoring the old carvings and frescoes that were its chief ornaments. The entrance-hull was of noble dimensions, with a painted ceiling, and a. great fireplace surrounded by oaken-cervings of fruit and flowers, the work of Gibbon, with the Redmond motto, “ Fideles ad urnsm,” in the centre. The walls were adorned with stag’a antlers, and other trophies of the chase, While implements of warfare, from the bow and arrow to the modern revolver, were arranged in geometrical circles round the battered suits of armor. To a connoisseur this medley of archi- tecture was a great eye-sore, but to the world in general the very irregularity of the grey old pile added to its picturesque entirety, and somehow the effect was very pleasing. I n.‘ "n 1,-1- The dwellingmooms of the house, with the exception of the drawing-room and billiard-room, were long and low, with the same painted ceilings and heavy oak- carvings; and some of the windows, especially in thelibrax‘y and morning-room, were furnished with such deep embrasures asto form small with-drawing rooms in themselves, andleave the farther end of the apartment in twilight obscurity even on the brightest summer‘s day. Many people were of opinion that the old Hell needed complete renovation, but Sir Wilfred had cared little for such things. In his father‘s time a. few of the rooms had been modernised and refurnished, the damask drawing-room for example, a. handâ€" some billiard-room added, and two or three bedrooms fitted up according to nineteenth century taste. In these rooms was furniture belonging to many a. diflerent age. Carpets and chain cushions worked intent stitch and cross stitch and old-fashioned harpsichord; gaudy white and gold furniture of the Louis Quatorze time, mixed with the spindle-legged tables of the Queen Anne epoch ._ ... -1 u. u 1 But er Wilfred had preferred the old rooms in the quaint embrasurea, where many a fair Redmond dame had worked with her daughters at the tapestry that hung in the green bedroom, which repreâ€" sented the death of Saul and the history of Gideon.

In this room both Sir Wilfred and Sir Hugh were born, and Sir Marmaduke and his sons Percy and Herewald were laid in state after the battle.” It was well that Fay did not understand the latter end of the housekeeper’s speech. but she shuddered notwithstanding with vague discomfort when the door was opened, and all the glories of the Oriel room were displayed before her. It was so large and grand that a queen might have slept in it and have been content, but to Fay’s eyes it was only a great gloomy room, so full of hidden corners and recesses, that the blazâ€" ing firelight and the wax candles only seemed to give a faint circle of light, beyond which lurked weird shadows, hiding in the deep embrasures of the windows, or beaming against the painted ceiling. The cabinets and wardrobe, and grotesque tables and chairs, all of black oak, and. above all, the great oak bedstead with its curiously twnsted pillars and heavy silk damask curtainsâ€"each projected separate shadows and filled Fay's mind with dismay, while from the panelled walls the childish figure wgs reflected ip dim old mirrors. “‘- “I am king." remarks Kalakauu, majestically.

I. But the next moment she uttered a little scream of delight, for there, hidden away behind the ruby curtains. was a tiny roomâ€"“ a wee blueâ€"lined nestie," fitted up as a boudoir or morning-room. The bow window promised plenty of light, a cheerful modern paper covered the wall, with one or two choice landscapes ; the snowy rug ; the soft luxurious couch and low easy- chaire, covered with delicate blue cretonne ; the writing-tables, and bookcase, were all so suggestive of use and comfort. Two lovebirds nestled like green blossoms in their gilded cage, and a white Persian kitten was purring before the fire. “Bless yezl” said the Irishman, “ it’s not after interruptin’ ye I am. I‘m only approvin’ of what ye say. Faith, and I didn’t know it was in yez to do as well as ye_r__doin~." . -, ~.- While Senator Harris was speaking at Cynthiana the other day, says the Louis- ville Courier-Journal. a half-intoxicated Irishman, who had crawled upon the rear of the platform, interrupted him several times with remarks that were not quite in- telligible. Finally Mr. Harris turned to the men and said: “ Oh, the dear room 1” exclaimed Fay. in a. perfect ecstasy, and than oblivious of her dignity, her fatigue, and the presence of the stately housekeeper, Lady Redmond sat down'on the soft white rug, and lifted the kitten on her lap. “ I had a. Persian kitten once,” she observed, innocently; “ but I took her down to the cowslip meadow and lost her. We called her the White Witch, she was so pretty and so fullof mischief. I made myself quite ill crying over her less, we were so afraid she was killed,” and here Fay buried her face in the little creature’s fur, as she rocked herself to and fro in the fire- light. 77‘7" P7176359 doh’t interrupt me, my friend. I am not much used to public speaking, and if yth want minim! ‘I’llhavefio quit." _ Mrs. Heron and Janet exchanged looks. Janet was smiling, but the housekeeper’a face wore a puzzled expression ; her new mistress bewildered her. The worthy soul could make nothing of these sudden changes : first a tiny woman rustling in silks, and holding her head like a little queen, with a plaintive voice speaking sweet words of welcome ;then a pale, tired laay peering into corners and averse to shadows; and now, nothing but a pretty child rocking herself to and fro with a kitten in her arms. No wonder Mrs. Heron shook her head rather gravely as she left the room. “ What on earth will my master do with a. child like that ‘2” she thought ; “ she will not be more of a companion to him than that kittenâ€"but there, he knows his own business best, and she isa pretty creature.” But all the same, Mrs. Heron still shook her head at intervals. for all the household knew that Margaret Ferrers, the sister of the blind vicar of Sandyeliffe, was to have come to the Hall as its mistress ; and the house- keeper’s faithful eyes had already noticed the cloud on her master’s brow. She had escaped from Janet, and had been seeking him some time, opening doors and stumbling into endless passages, but always making her way back somehow to the focus of lightâ€"the big hall; and feeling drearin as though she were some forlorn princess shut up in an enchanted castle, who could not find her prince. “ ‘ Marry in haste and repent at leisure, that is what many a man had done to his cost,” she soliloqnised, as she hustled about her comfortable room. “ Well, she is a. bonnie child, and he’s bound to make her happy ; she will be like a. bit of sunshine in the old Hell it he does not dump her cheerfulness with his glooply meoda.” Alittle while afterwards.

It is intended to extend this road through the Andes, a chain of moun- THE Pareees of Bombay have long been famous for their charitable munificence, and the example of the late Sir J ameetjee Jejeebhoy, known throughout the civilized world for his liberality, is being emulated at the present day by another Parsee, Sir Dinshaw Manockjee Petit, Sheriff of Bom- bay, who has just offered the Government of Bombay one and one-half lakh ($75,000), for the purpose of establishing a. female college in that city. THE purlieus of Naples are nearly as crowded with seething humanity at this season as the tenement houses of New York, yet the hot weather makes no such massacre of the innocents as it does on this continent. “ The reason,” said an Italian lady, “ is because poor Neapolitan children are allowed to run about naked. while American babies are swathed in flannels till they die of weakness caused by excessive perspiration.” GOLD will only melt at a comparatively high temperature, as we all know, but what is not generally known, The Jewellers’ Journal says, is that if two per cent. of silicn be added to the gold it can be melted over the flame of a common candle. From the same source the reader may learn that a pretty alloy, said to resemble gold exactly, can be made with 16 parts copper, l of zinc and 7 of platinum. The copper and platinum are covered first with borex and then with powdered charcoal and melted. then the zinc added, and the alloy thus produced is exceedingly malleable and can be drawn into the finest wire, while it never tarnishes. ROSES are the fashionable flower of the present season in London, the national emblem being chosen in honor of the Jubilee. Bedg of shaded goses are orgaygd on dinner and supper tables, artistically harmonized from the deepest damask red down to pale sea. roses. The rose was introduced into Britain at a. very early period and has always thriven there, yield- ing to no other country except the blessed valley at the foot of the Balkans, near Adrianople. mee to the disturbed condition of Bul- garia the monument which the officers of the Russian grenadier regiment intended to raise at Plevna in memory of the grena- diers who fell there in 1877 will be erected at Moscow. It will contain five groups of figures and four statues of saints. with the following inscription, in the Russian, Bul. garian. Roumanian and Servian languages: “ To their comrades who fell in the glorious battle of Plevns, Nov. 28, 1877, by the Russian Grenadiers.” Du. Cums Epsom, of New York, has been investigating the manufacture of cheap ice creams. and he reaches the conclusion that during the heated term the milky prepara- tion is apt to contain a fungus growth that is injurious to health. Young girls who go promenading with economical beaux may expect to hear frequent admonitory remarks shout this lurking fungus growth. The girls may suggest, however, that the doctor’s analysis relates only to cheap ice cream, and that the high-priced article may still be eaten with comparative safety. AN interesting phenomenon has for some time past been observed on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea. The Kara Bobhas is an estuary nearly separated from the main body of the sea by a bank through which there is an inlet. The evaporation from this gulf is so great that a current continually sets in from the Caspian, and, as there is no return current, the water of the gulf becomes more saliferous, and a de- posit of salt is in course of formation. The natural result of this would appear to be that this gulf will be cut off from the Caspian, and being thus dried up, will be- come an extensive salt bed. A HIGH-PRESSURE hydrant system is being introduced in England, where manufac- turers and insurance people are taking great interest in it. Where fire occurs the ordinary pressure is insufficient at a little elevation for effective work. The system proposes the construction of steel tanks charged with water, connecting with the ordinary mains, which can be submitted to any desired pressure up to 100 or 120 unds to the square inch. This pressure is maintained by a series of wrought-iron cylinders filled with compressed air. THE tincture of the chloride of iron is a. linedy frequently dispensed by the oblig- ing upothecsry to those who consult him and appear to need a. tonic. It is generally taken well diluted with water, and is often drawn into the mouth through a. glass tube or straw “ to save the teeth.” It has re- cently been shown that a. tooth immersed in a solution of this tincture diluted with eight parts of water has its enamel entirely destroyed in one hour. The water increases the destructive power of the iron, and, on that account, it should not he need in dilu- tion, but syrup is advised instead. AT Muirkirk, in Scotland, a monument in memory of some Covenanters who suffered in the cause of religion has for some time been in course of construction. It has just been inaugurated. The monu- ment is a polished granite obelisk, and is the gift of Mr. Charles Howatson, Glen- buok. The names inscribed on it are Richard Cameron, John Smith. William Adams and John Brown, of Priesthill. The shaft of the monument has two draped figuresâ€"one pointing to the earth, where lie bodies of the martyrs, the other point- ing to the skies.

THERE are two st les of com Iexions in y vogue this season, and to attain them cosmetics are used recklessly,seys a fashion writer. One, for pallid people, is ivory white, and is supposed to be the accom- paniment of soft, brown eyes and hair to match. The style of cuticle that is most popular, however, and which may go with all shades of hair except black and dark brown, is known as the “peachblow.” It is a rosy flush sufi'using the entire face, tinting the ears a deep rose, and scarcely fading out beneath the chin or at the nape of the neck. Women with this kind of skin will wear pink gowns during the summer, for the “ peeohblow " is to take the lead in attire as well as in complexion. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL, the Brantford boy, whose telephones are ringing all over the world, has gone to his summer home, near Cape Breton, N. S. He went up there for the firsttimelast summer, rented a house for $100 for the season, and liked it so well that this spring he bought a small island near by for 3500, upon which he is trying to keep cool, with more or less suc- cess, these torrid days. He has an improâ€" vised “ cottage," made out of an old farm- house, this year, but proposes to build a handsome home by next year. It is rather noteworthy that neither Bell nor his thrifty father-in-law (Gardiner G. Hubbard), who is the business manager of their fortunes, has built a, house since they came to be millionaires. Both live in Washington in houses built by other men, altered to suit them after they had purchased them. MR. GORHAM GRAY writes of the project of telephone communication between this con- tinent and Europe : “ Telephoning through a wire being only and simply a wave of re- production, similar to an air wave or sound, or I might say a wave of the ocean, is per- fectly practicable for three million miles,and in fact more so under water than aeria1,for disturbances atmospheric do not occur under water, nor do disturbances occur at a depth below a given sounding distance below the surface of the water, as the water at that depth is at rest. The small steel wire which I already have used for four years under water is a perfect reproducer, and will reproduce three million miles far better than the one hundred miles now so long in my service, and giving clear repro- duction of conversation, and without any induction whatever." “Opposed to Commercial Union, eh ?

HEMORRHAGE from the lungs isa symptom of consumption which excites the greatest apprehension, not only in the patients, but in friends. It should be remembered that it is not only rarely fatal, but also that it invariably brings relief1 in a measure, from the cough and the distressing constricted sensations previously felt in the chest. Many remedies are advised for this emer- gency, but rest and opium are the most valuable. One grain of opium, or twentyâ€" five drops of laudanum, should be given at once, and repeated in from four to six hours. The patient must be kept per- fectly quiet, and not allowed to speak. His fears are best subdued by the force of ex- ample, and his friends must appreciate this fact and conduct themselves accord- ingly. Rest in bed should be enforced for three or four days after thehemorrhage has ceased. BAiLLARD' GALLERY: SPORi‘iKIG AM) TARGET RIFLES world renowned. Sand for lllunnud ammo. MARLIN FIRE ARMS mt.

These curious socks are made from fine sheep’s wool, at first probably white, but now brown with age. The needles with which the work was done are supposed to have been somewhat thicker than those now in use, and the knitting is loose and elastic. The work begins in the simplest manner, with a single thread, but grows fanciful as progress is made. Instead of ending, like the modern sock, with around- ing point, two branches of equal width run out like the fingers of a. glove. This was made to suit the sandals, which had astrap fastened at the middle and passing over the sock when on the foot. The work shows a very skilful hand. Sometimes it costs hundreds of dollars to convince a. man; very often less is required, but in the case of Polsou's NERVILINE, that sovereign remedy for pain, 10 cents foots the bill, and supplies enough Nerviline to convince every purchaser that it is the best, most prompt and certain pain remedy in the world. Nerviline is good for all kinds of pain, pleasant to take, and sure to cure cramps and all internal pains. It is also nice to rub outside, for it has an agreeable smell, quite unlike so many other prepara- tions, which are positively disagreeable to use. Try it now.

These should be chosen with care, for many of them are extremely unwholesome if not perfectly fresh and sound. Almost; all of them. except berries, are improved by washing or soaking them some time in cold water. This renders some of them, such as are to be eaten without cooking, more crisp and refreshing, while all are cleansed from possible contamination. The sources of impurity are so numerous that safety can be secured only by constant watchful- ness. The ground in or upon which vege- tables are grown, the hands employed in securing them and the localities in which they are stored are too apt to be unclean and the sources of disease. The healthy human stomach has a great capacity for digesting and destroying disease germs; otherwise no one would live through one summer in the city; but when weakened by toil or sickness it loses this resisting capacity to a large degree, and the con- sequences are seen in the increased mor- tality list which marks the advent of hot weather.
