A Story With a Moral.
"Helen, tny dear, said Mrs. Herbert
to her daughter one morning, "do you
know I have heard it said that John
! Kendall is forming habits of dissipation?
Il griaves iue deeply, my child, to tell
you this, but it is well to bo warned of
danger before it is too late, and iu a
matter of '.bis kind, where your whole
life's happiness is ot stake, it becomes
my duty, as your mother, to inform you
of these tumors; when even ip bis own
friends are forced to acknowledge that
L- —ii, V Y ""' 4/
reason to fear that he is listening with a
charmed car to tho syren whose song
ends in destruction. You have beard
these repot ta, my daughtor?" Aud Mrs
Heibcrt rcgatd«d Helen with a grave
and anxious face, as sec awaited hor an
swer.
A slight quiver came over the lips
of the girl, who stood silently before her
mother, a pale, certainly, and as beau
, tifui as a marble statue Lifting hei
| soft eyes to her mother's face, while a
l dark, upwonted fire kindled in their
gray depths, she answered : "Yes,
mother. Joba's enemies have not been
slow in bringijg such cruel reports to
imv ear. 1 know what they say—l Lave
■ heard all, but I do not believe theiu."
! The lovely, innocont girl spoke as sho
; truly thought. In her heart she could
; nnt, nay, would not believe that one
whose nature was so noble, so generous
—who evinoed so many correct feelings
and principles, and who possessed, iu
au emiuent degree, all manly qualifica
tions, could yield, by any possible temp
tation, to the balclul influence of the
Dostroyer, and so degrade the dignity
of -nanbood below the brutes that per
ish. Aud why was it, amid tho ceusurcs
an 1 bcrsh judgmeut of tho world, the
secret regrets of his friends aud open
attacks of hii enemies, she only enriched
deeper in hor heart tho image of tbo
,aa to whom she had given her whole
heart's nffoctiou. She loved him, and
her lieurt, enshrouded in the mantle of
devotion clung with increased tenacity
to-its object; aud the light of her pure
affeotion ouly shone brighter as the
dark shadow of evil closed 'round ber
idol.
Constancy is a striking and peculiarly
beautiful trait in the oharactc of wo
man, and til a nature aud love like
Helen's tbere is surpassed strength.
It has nothing gross or earthly in its
yearnings, for its source is the purest
fountains of the heart. Alas for the
priceless riches laid on tbo altar of
love ! It is seldom worthy of its fois
tering.
But time passed on, and at length
the bridal day wns fixed—for Helen did
become the bride of John Kendal, and 1
was present, as an honored guest, at
their wedding. 1 marked the smile of
conscious' triumph and exulting love, as
bofore God s holy altar, he plighted that
deep and solimu vow to bo to ber a tive
aud kind husband, a comforter and pro
tector forever. And she, the gentle
bein{ at his side, I saw her look ef co
tire, trusting eonfideoco when she gave
ber hand to him with whom she had
chosen, above nil olhcrs, to tread life's
stony pathway. And I watched the
widowed uiwther, too, whet she gave
her only darling to au tiatricd guardian
ship. There was sorrow in the tones of
her fond and tearful bitting on that
fair yonng bride, who WJI thus, iu ten
dered years, leaving the safe abelter
and loving guidance of a devoted moth
er's heart, to-.wake her hjme with him
iu whom she believed she realized her
dreams of e:.*lt-;d manhood

her, as he hoped for God's blcss'ng, I
beard all, ami 1 turned io conceal
the tears wliieh were unconsciously
creeping into my eyes. An HL-omeced
melancholy came over iue. which 1
strove to banish, for why should I dim
that lovely picture with toy tears 1 Hel
en was my niece, my sister's only child,
and scarct ly less dear to me than my
own children.
I have said that she became John
Kendall's wife ; aud, alas/! she bceame
bis victim also. The foil early
on the rose, and the worm levelled amid
the leaves ; We need net tiace John
Kendall in bis erring, downward patb
of folly and dissipation; enough that
be did bow do»u bis high spirit at the
shrine of intemperance- But Helen—
she, who iu tbo trusting tt/uestnesa of
her own heart, had thrown all on the
"venture of bis vow;" she was made
to feel tbo perishing of a!! that way
bright, noldc and elevated —if was bers
to feel, in its most refiucd bitterness,
the keen and withering bite of disap
pointment, when she looked on birn she
called her husband. For years ber be
lisving spirit sustaiuod her heavy trail ;
for one hope hung even as an auchor to
her soul — the hope that ho would re
form. He loved her too well, she
thought, to make hor l'ity
the poor, deceived v.'onian ! Lovo may
be strong, b-.u the wino oup^ ;iU li yet a
mightier power. But tbo \ )» 'is
■UILTRRI
which Helen, in tbo pumu'sa of lier
heart, thought it a sin to tLink cf stood
befoie bur, a lamentable ai\i sure reali
ty. Her husband was an irreclaimable
drunkard!
Sho did not long survive dead re
ality. She died young, but Dot before
Hope's last ray was qnenclicd in that
stricken bosoui, and a death-like wither
ing bad come over tho hearth—not un
til evciy beautiful flower of afleotion
had dropped and stifled away in her out
raged soul, and every generous and de
voted feeling had given placo to loath
ing and indifference. Het last moments
were uueoothed by a hushaud's teuder
affection, though at times, indeed, a
bloated visage, with haggard, expres
sionless eyes would bend over her couch
and mutter words of disgusting and in
ebria'e fondness ; but, with a look of
abhorrcnoe, sho motioned biui away —ho
who had once been her idol, the beloved
of hvr heart, the delight aud blessing of
her fond eyes.
Oh, girls, who may read this sad
etorv ; oh, wives, who may, in the bit
terness of your hearts, recognize the
truthfulness of tho picture, neither mar
ry yourselves, nor give youi daughters
in with Any man vrho is accurs
ed with that fatal love of strong drink.
Let woman, lovely, dovjtcd, confining
women, avoi I even the appearance of
evil. Let her beware of the revel, the
wine cup, the feast, for vice and intem
perance ever follow in thoir train. Let
boi remember •y v u A dting l.erjelf
with a drunkard, she is diffVii.g J'lhcr
a fearful doom and ipeurring the heav
iest :ur«c of Heaven. Iter own destiny
will bo a sad one, her wholo life ruined,
and hor children, bom with that fatal
inheritance, will grow up to cause hor
additional sorrow and shame. Tho mar
riage of a pure and lovely girl with a
drunkard is like uniting truth with per
fidy, the dove with the vulture: it is
the wcdlook of purity with pollution,
beauty with Lot woman be
ware of the intemperate, if she values
her self- respect, her honor, her whole
lifo's happiness.
For a cold give a baby flaxseed tea

FOR CROUP

healthy person fill his lungs with pure
air, then slowly breathe upon the pa

HOW TO USB HOT WATER.
One of the simplest and most effectu
al means of relicviug pain is the use
elf hot water, externally and it:tor-'"My,
tba temperature vary.ng adcordiug to
the feelings of tho -jatent. /ooif bruises,
tj-jbHMs, .nil f^ir ii.( r til 'i. ie's it
should be applied immediately/ as not
as can he borno, by moans o' a cloth
dipped in tbo water aud laid on tho
wounded part, or by immersiou, if con
venient, and the treatment kept up un
til relief is obtained. If applied at
once the use of hot ivattr will general
ly prevent, nearly, if not entirely, tho
bruised flesh from turning black. For
pains resulting from indigestion, and
know as wind colic, etc., a cup of hot
water taken ill sips wiil often relieve at
once. When that is insufficient a flan
nel folded in several thickuesees, large
enough to fully cover the pamful place,
should be wrung out of hot water and
laid over the seat of the pain. 11 should
be as hot as the skin Can bear without
injury , atid bo renewed every ten min
utes, or oftener if it feels cool, unt 1 tba
pain is 3ono, Tbo remedy is simple,
oflioieul; harmless, and within the reaeb
of every oco ; and should bo more gen
erally used tnin it is. If used along
with common sense il might save many
a doctor's bill and many a courec of
drug treatment as well.
THE SPIDER CURE.
Spiders were formerly considered lo
be a cure in rural districts for agues.
S,.mc years ago a la-Iy in Ireland was
famous for ber success in earing people
thus affectod. It appears that the only
medicine she employed was a large
spider rolled up iu treacle. The pa
tionts were ignorant of the coutents of
this novel bolus, so that imagination
had nothing to do with the nutter. In
Knglatid also, the spider has been call
ed in as au ague doctoi. In Lincoln
shire the creature was treated very
much after the above mentioned Irish
fasliioD, being rolled up in paste and
swallowed ; but elsewhere the nni
mal is put into a bag and worn around
tho neck.
SORE THROAT
Everybody has a euro for this troub
le, but suable rotnodies appear to be
most cffect'jsl. Salt and water is used
by many as a gargle, but a little alum
and honey dissolved iu sage tea il bet
ter. An application of clothes wiung
out of hot water and applied to the nook,
changing af often as they bogin to cool,
has tho most potency for removing infla
mmation of anylhiug »e over tried. It
should be kept up for a number of
hours ; during the evening is usually tho,
most convenient time for applying this
remedy.
ROM ANTIC F.LOPKM EXT
Miss Stella Snyder, a daughter of
Mr. Logan C. Snyder, of this oity *ho
has been attending tbo Wcslevan In-
I stilute, at Staunton; was one 6f the
: parties to a very romantic elopement
' last Saturday night. She had boen ro

MILK DIliT.
Milk should enter largely into the ,
diet ofciuldicn. It contains cascine, or
flesh forming material, cream and sugat,
! which are hoat producers ; mineral salts,
, j for the botiv structure, and water as a
• solvent for tho other materials noces
. I saiy in nutijitiou however ; not drunk
but r- Ftfod,
I after the givJT r>f uaturo. >iilk
as taken is a fluid, bit as soon as it
meets the acid of tne gastrio juice, it is
| changed to a soft, curdy, cheese-like
! substance, and then most bo digested,
, and tho stomach is overtasked if too
i much be taken at once, A largo glass
J of milk swallowed suddenly will form
| iu the stomach a lump of dense, cheesy
. curds, which may even provo fatal to a
1 weak stomach Uudor the action of the
stomach this cheesy mass will mm over
! and over like a heavy weight, aud, as
the gastric juice can only attack its
surface, it digests very slowly. But
this sauio'milk, taken slowly, or with
dry toast, light rolls, or soft, dry por
ridge, forms a porous lump through
which tho gastric juice oan easily pass,
aud which breaks up every time tho
stomrch turus it ovor. Milk should be
slightly salted, and eaten with bread
stuffs or sipped by the spoonful. Cow's
milk produces less heat than human I
mi 1 k ; a child would grow thin upon it
' j unless a little sugar were added. Wheat |
j flour has such au excess of heat-produc- j
| ing material as would fatten a child
. unduly, and should have cow's milk ad
ded to it to redueo its fattening power.

WAX AND ITS USES.
| "The most valuablo product of tho

useful is wsx," said a dealer itt bees- !
• wax. "It is used for all sorts of pur-J
poses, in medicine, in glues, in cements,!
and a thousand other tilings. Makers
'of fancy paper use it in coloring the

handles ot knives; jewelers use it in wax-;
i ling molds in which they cast articles of
' jewelry; tailors and shoemakers use it
1 in waxing threads; painters use it in

pattern-uiakers close up holes in their
patterns with it. Much ot it is made
