Stockwm.i, of Chesterfield, N. H., "1 wus afflicted with an extremely Severn min in the lower part of the chest. The feeling was as if a ton weight was laid on a spot the size of my hiuiil. During the attacks, the perspiration would stand in drops on my face, and it was agony for me to make stilheient effort even to whis per. They came suddenly, at any hour of the day or night, lasting from thirty minutes to half a day, leaving as suddenly; but, for several days after, I was quite prostrated and sore. Sometimes the attacks were almost dally, then less frequent. After about four years of this suffer ing, I was taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and when I began to recover, I had the worst attack of my oid trouble I ever experienced. At the first of the fever, my mother cave me AVER'S Pills, my doctor recommending them as being better than anything he could prepare. I continued taking these Mils, and ro great was the benefit derived that during nearly thirty years I have lad but one attack of my former trouble which yielded readily to the same remedy." "For a long time 1 was a sufferer from stomach, liver, and kidney troubles, experiencing much difficulty in digestion, with severe pains in the lumbar region and other parts of the body.

These are slipping sway those sweet, swift hours, Like a leaf on the current cast ; With never a breath in the rapid flow, Wo wutch thern us one by one they go Into the beautiful past. As silent and swift as a weaver's thread, Or an arrow's flying gleam; As soft as the languorous breezes bid, That lift the willow's long golden lid, And ripple the glassy stream. As light as the breath of the thistle down, As fond ns a lover's dream ; As pure us the flush in the sua shell's throat, As sweet as the wood bird's wooing nolo, So tender and sweet they seem. One after another we sec them pass Down the dim lighted stair, We hear the sound of their steady trend In the steps of the centuries long since dead As beautiful and as fair There are only a few years left to love : Shall we waste them in idle strife 1 Shall we trample under our ruthless feet Those beautilul blessoms, rare and sweet By the dusty ways of life ? There are only a few swift years ah, let No envious taunts be heard ; Make life's fair pattern of rare design, And fill up the measure with lover's sweet wine, But never an angry word.

She was a rosy, apple blossom sort of a girl, grifted by some wind of fate into the "big bottom" country. Old Mis' Rose had brought her from out of the West one year after she had been out there, visiting with relatives, and kept her, a cheerful, happy child, as long as she lived. When the old woman died, Bill Rose's wife didn't feel any "call" to keep ber, "ez how she hed six o' her own." It looked as if Nellie would have a rough time of it, but finally Mis' Rivers said she'd take her, and Nellie was shift ed from ono family to the other without ceremony. She was growing up now; growing taller, and was guessed to be "goin' on 15." She would have been the pride and darling of somebody, had there been any lomebody to notice. Her coining down into the sleepy village was an event. Even old Norcross, the blacksmith who had never noticed a woman within the memory of man, lifted his head as she went across the Rivers lot to the cow stable, tinging as she had done on the Rose farm, in the glad exuberance of nor young spirit. "Lord o' love!" he said. There air a thing glad to be a-Hvin' " . The village girls banded against her. She hardly knew it, for she had grown up alone, and needed no one. Uer heart was sore for the old woman who had died clutching at the voung hand sometimes ho saw the girls dressed up in bravery of white and pink ami blue. She shud dered at bad combinations of color as if some one had struck her in the face. She had only old clot his to wear, old hats and faded ribbon. She never complained, but she noticed m iny things. Mr-. Riv ers was sickly and irritable. One day she flung some words of insult at Nellie. The girl never answered. That night as old Squire Ea-tman sat on his vine-hung porch, he heard some ono come up the road, usually so looesoir-e, singing in a high, sweet voice, "Abide with Me." He knew the voice, for when Nellie oould go to church, she sang. Shu eauie up to the porch, and in her cheeiful way, wished him good evening. I have come to ask you if I'm bound to stay with Mis' Rivers," shu said. lie sight d :in J motioned her to sit d iwn Ho knew all the histories of p.'oplo ' It is a home for you," he toid. She laughe l, a low sort of s mod like a brook s gurgle over stones. "1 uiu youug and 1 urn string I can tuoru oarn my keep. Air I bound?" "Nit; but, he hwitated, ' where are you,g ingf "NowtMr i'ft now I will work f.-r money before I go away." No word ot Hie lusull. I he .-quite called his lumsukoepvi. Nellie Was k' there duriug the night, while he ti.tujiht it all over. Ho w uld send her to schoi and she Could help uiglits and uiurniugs To his surprij Nellie refused, with laugh, "l did ootcoum to ye with a o.y I hev got a place. Yer air, 'Squire, good hearted man." So she transferred hersei to a farm house a mile from the village. She worke hard and grew in beauty. She laid by almost all her wages, wearing her patched clothes and old hats. Once a neighbor urged her to buy a new dress for tb Pioneer picnic. . "I'm not spendtn'," said Nellie "I'm goin' back whar I cum frum. I want to see fcymotbor's people." "Mob be ye'll wish ye hadn't gone laughed the neighbor. Nellie's eyes blaiod. ''Ihaiota fool h said. ' "Mam' Rose knew whut she wui about. I baint tellin' everything to jou alll'' ' Douglas Eastiaan came home. Hewai the last of gieat family, and it seemed if h" 'honld he th old 'Squire's stay hia uid age. He was sil"nt, morose nd iiritablc Long years away, be was not inclined to mingle with his old asso ciates as with equals. Still young in years, he was old in feeling. He hunted, fished aud was intulernbly bored. One morning e heard Nellie's liigb song over a hedge. He saw ber iu the prosuic garden, a Hebe in blue and gold, with an English com plexion and a puir of beautiful eyes. Here was a diversion. He haunted the ouse where she lived, he learned her character and reticence with delight. Choice game, this girl. He went to all evicos to win her friendship, but she was immovable. Site brushed him aside as a feather, calmly aware that he was seeking amusement. He was no more to cr than the veriest clod of the fields. As quietly as before, Nellie changed homes. She had some money saved. The lector had brought a new wife to the placo, and it was after seeing her ride by that Nellie walked into her one evening and asked the lady to take her as "help." She never told her reasons, but, in six months, such a change was noticeable in Nellie that even her mistress, who was much troubled over her beauty and voice, culled her one day and told her she should go whore something oould bo done with that voice, and she could become some one in the world. "You think I kin?" asked Nellie. "I know you can," was the oonfident reply. "I want to help you." "I couldn't take help," said the girl Sho was now 20, tall, a type of health, and with a confidence and belief in her self grand to see. She went up stuirsand counted her money, As before she went towards the old 'Squire's house. Sho met him in the lane, groping, half blind, in the nbht. Whatever in the world, 'Squire?" she cried. You are come to help me, Nellie? You are young and strong. Douglas has gone own to the saloon. Some one has anger ed him. There will bo a terrible time. Nellie. Oh, I must go and save him. He is the last one of us all." She was leading him back swiftly. Set down, 'Squire," she said, "ez how ye now I can run fust, He'll come home fur me, you know I'll fetch bim to ye." Sho left him crying after her to hurry. She ran, putting all her splendid physi cal strength and her lion heart into it. The angry blood of the "big bottom" country was to be feared. On, on she sped through the village. The saloon was near the station, brightly lit, and the noise and hubbub reached her before she was near it. She was panting, but she rushed in among the crowd, pushing the men one side and the other. It was just in time. A man, mad with rage, had sprung at Douglas Eastman aud clutched Lis throat. Nellie raised her clenched first and struck him, tearing Eastman from the murder ous clutch in the unexpected minute. Then she stood between them, calm in a moment, but white as marble. "U i home, men," she said. "Go home ud thank tiad I came in tiuiel" Murmurs arose, and Eastman spoke angrily. "I don't need women to take caie of me. Go home yourself. What right have you here, Nellie Rose?" She measured I) in with a glance. "The right o'blood," sho said, quietly, Yer have no son, but you have a darter with the spirit o' oue. My name is Etst man, same ez yours, an' that is why Mam Rose brought mo here to raise I reckon ye'll cool down when yer knows ez my mother was Ellen Radeau, and yer never kin deny yer inarryin' o' her in Missou 'J" Then she laughed, the same cheerful, musical note. "Get along home. Yer father's sittin,' purblind, in the lnne, niiiuroin.' I guess thn quarrel is over, fur twui about me, an' I gue-a 'twon't be ken' up. T iiu't Biblo fur the child to be clliu' the parents whut ter do, but guess coninmndnieula turn inside onet in while. Get home, men, and gave y hard come money. That'll be no more trouble 'bout me. I'm off in the uioruiu,' tin' the qnirrelin' 'II hv to be after s m other o' tin "big bottom" women " "Kin we give yer threo cheers?" asked ine, a rather honest faced m.iQ of 30. Her eyes had u far sway look. "I don mini," she said. "Thar will be chctrs some dty. They air in the air, ex bound to come. It mouglit be ruther a proper thing to remember ex they begun in this here village." The crowd cheered her, and she went off, leading the thoroughly subdued bast man. And, presently, a half blind old man sitting ou a stone in a lane, trembling and anxious, beard, hig) and sweet, over the still holds, the strains, Wonderful and holy of "Abide With Mel carrying to him message of peace and assurance. IIOH9K 8ENBE REASONS WHY THE COUN TRY IS IN NO BETTER CONDITION. The Rome, Qoorgia, Tribune, says that: A plain old farmer of Sumter county to tho American Times-Recorder civos is views on the condition of tho country as follows: "There is so much being suid in the country about bard times and the scarcity of money, and as everybody bus a cause nd knows a remedy, I thought I must write to tell your readers what I think is the cause. Tho trouble is we buy more than we produce There is too much flour and bacon shipped here every year. The things we ought to make at home wo are buyiug. We let our timber rot and buy our plow stocks, singletrees, axo handles, hoc handles and fencing. We throw away our ashes aud buy our soap and axle grease. We give away our beef hides and buy kaine strings and shoe strings. Wo let our manure go to waste and buy guano, We buy cabbage seed in tho spring and cabbage in the winter. We let our land grow up in weeds and uy our brontni. We let the wax of ourpiue and gum trees ge to waste and buy chewing gum for the children. We build school houses and hire teach- ors and send our children off to be educated. We land a 5 cent fish with a 8-t fish ing rod. Wo send a 15 cent boy with a 820 gun and a $4 dog to kill birds. We raise dogs and buy wool. And about the only thing in this coun try that there is an overproduction of is politics aud dog ticks " WORDS OP WISDOM. THE PRINCIPAL CAUSE. alwe Inconstancy is innate. Society is an acquired taste. Cupid never shows a wrinkle, A frown is a smile off the track. Mammon never lifted a man himself. Purposelessness is the fruitful mother of crime. A merry heart makes it time all the year The reward of ono duty is the power to fulfill another. Morbid morality is worse than occas ional transgression. Wealth may not produce civilization but civilization produces money. We ought not to judge of men as a picture or statue, ut the first eight. The great quality of dullness is to be uualterably contcuted with itself. Only evil grows of itself, while for goodness we want effort and courago. The character of a brave and resolute man is not to be rufll ,'d with adversity A woman to remain beautilul in age hould put cosmetics on her soul, not on her face. Cheerfulness or joyousness, heaven where everything but thrives. It is not so much tho being exempt from faults, as the having overcome them, that is an advantage to us. Sometimes we lose friends for whose oss our regret is gieater than our grief, and others for whom our grief is grouter than our regret. A face which is always serene possesses a mysterious and powerful attraction; sad hearts come to it as to the sun to warm themselves again. is the poison THE SOUTH.

Fur laek of markets the vast inaiiul'uoturini? interest of the North are stagnant, and ninny firms hither to considered strong and sale, nru aguiust the wall ready to come down with a crash; thero is not even u future, no prospects. no outlet, no outlook. The devastating storms, and short crops of this unprece dented year in tho history of some of the Southern States, will further lessen the chances of markets in these sections, and although it looks small, is a considerable market. Again, the South generally is be coming more self reliant and able to get along with less of tho Northern manufac tories, thus creating an out put of her own which conflict with tho Northern indus tries. People who can look ahead can see from the signs of the times that the South is the coming El Dorado of the States-; sho will gradually absorb the manufac tories, and consequently tho people of the North, and where the West will get one immigrant, the South, with its balmy, pure and rcliablo climate, its rich deposits of iron, gold, pyrates,and other valuable ores, and its agricultural possibilities, will get ten. There tide has already set southward and industries of all kinds (uuknown a few years back) now fliurish, when the present cotton crops are harvested and marketed, and money becomes more plen tiful and easy, there u going to set iu a season of prosperity aud activity hereto fore unknown within the borders. All classes of people tiro awakening to the fact o( her coining prosperity, and many knowing cues arc investiug in farms, fac tory sites, and mines. The South welcom ei all people of industry and ability alike And the diversity of our climate permits the growth of temperate and tropical plants and fruits. Tho South presents ber res peets to all who wa it hones and invites them to come along. Many industries heretofore deemed unprofitable, now thrive, for instance, un the outskirts of the town of Suininerville, S. C, there is a tea furui in successful operation, the product of which is valued at $1.00 per pound. There are great possibilities in this indus try in certain sections of South Carolina, and a farm of 100 acres will, in three or four years, make a careful man indpend ent. Factories for the manufacture of brushes from the brush or bastard palmet to would be a good and profitable indus try, There arc millions of these plants in the low country of South Carolina, near Charleston, and the land growing them can be bought for two dollars per aero. These palmettoes spring up every year and bear from six to eight leaves. Pencil fao tories iu the e;.lar territory of Alabama should be a success, the lumber is at hand, and graphite is pleutiful in Georgia and North Carolina. Many other industries cm be profitably followed and the roan with five or ten thou in J dollars finds no trouble in making a comfoitable livitig. What we want in the South is new blood and new enterprise; no man content to make a bare living or to work for a sal -ary only Is wanted, but the man who comes to push his business from the stump, is the man who will surely find a just and increasing reward tor his labor, .thous ands have started in the South on a few hundred aud to day are wealthy men. Largo quantities of lands can bo bought from two to six dollars per acre, aud are valuable lands; ouly needing capital and ability to develop thn.
