B. D. B Company : My Dear Sir I
take great pleasure in acknowledging the
great benefit my wife has derived trom
your rcat and wonderful medicine, B. B.
B. Fo tw u years she was a great suffer
er from scrofula, or some blood dUoase
which had lain dormant all her life. We
had attention from some of the most skill
ful physicians in the country, but all to no
effect, until we had a-l despaired of her ev
er recovering. IJer mouth wa? one solid
ulceT, and for two months or more her bo
dy was broken out with sores until she
lost a beautiful head of hair, also eyelashes
and eyebrows - in fact, she seemed to be a
complete wreck.
Now come the great secret which I
want the world to know. Three bottles of
Blood Balm medicine has done the woTk
which would sound incredible to any one
who did not know it to be so. Today my
wife isr perfectly hoalthy,and clear from
scrofula taint, and she now has a three-month-old
babe, also perfeotly healthy.
Very respectfully,

The death of Justice Lamar has
recalled his well known devotion to
the Confederacy, and his love for
the lost cause was productive of one
of the most dramatic scenes m the
h story of the Senate. The Mexis

eration and an amendment peuded,
extending its provisions to ail vet
erans irrespective of their course in
the "ffar between the States. It
was near adoption. Congres, it
was paid, could best show its desire
to forgive and forget by extending
the benefits of the measure to those
who had once borne arms againsr,
the common country. The amend
ment was npar adobtion when Sena,
tor Zacb Chandler came to his feet
with a short speech, in which he
sid that while in the main be a-
greed to the general tenor of the
amendment, yet under its proviso
ions even Jen Davis wonln be res

added, "I am not prepared to go so

AS YE SOW !'
BY AMY RANDOLPH.
'Is it snowing yet, Timothy V
Mrs. Trappe asked the qnestion
with a little shiver, as she spread
out her thin fingers over the blaze
of the wood-fire, whose cherry spires
of flame roared half. way np the
large old-fashioned chimney.
Timothy Trappe, her liege lord
and husband, had jast come in from
loddering his cattle a little brown
visaed man, with his mouth cus
rioasly twisted to onr? side, a hoary
stubble of unshorne beaid spronix
ing out upon his chin, and little
gray eyes sparkling from under
grizzled brows, as cold and hard as
pools of water.
44 'Snowing V ' he repeated sharp
ly. "I should think po ! Can't see
three inches afore ore's nose. Piled
up everywhere in drifts and cold as
Nova Zembla !"
He shook the snow from his
shoulders as he spoke, and settled
down into a cushioned eacbair
i
where the fire-light seemed at one j
fo enfold him as with a mantle of
warmth and brightness. j
"Oh, dear V said Mrs. Trappe, j
dolorously.
''What's the matter now V acidly
lemauded her better half. "Ain't
t lero wood enough fetched. Hasn't
ih? i oof beeu new shingled f And
aia't ice snuk enough ?"
'Y 8," smd Mrs. Trappe. "It
ain't that, Timothy, I was wonder
ing if poor Bessie had wood ecouj?h
fo warm her this cold night."
Timoth's lignum vitce face eon-
trac'itig with a sort of involuntary
ssd, but he. recovered hitnseP
with a jnik.
"Alwayu a grumblin' about some
thing," said he. "I never yet tee a
a womau as was contented."
"Yes, but if Bessy"'
"Bessy's all right," said Timothy,
magisterially. "And if she wasn't,
it 'u'd be her own fault, a-runnin'
off with that there singm'-teacher.
Them as makes their bed must ex
pect to lie on it. But that's all past)
and that is no call for you to grum
ble now. I've writ to ner to come
home, hain't I? I've sent money to
pay ber way ; and I can't do more
than that, can I ?"
Mrs. Trappe, who was a lady of
constitutionally low spirits, sniffed
a faint negative.
"Then why can't you hold yonr
tongue?" demanded Mr. Trappe.
''Fetch a pitcher of cider and some
o' them doughnuts, and let's be
comfortable.1'
But Mr. Trappe had hardly bitten
a piece out ot the first crisp and
fragrant doughnut before there
Cime a faint knocTi at the. door-
"There!'' said Mrs. Trappe.
"Who's that ? It ain't a night for
nobody to be out in !''
Grumbling under his breatb, be
crossed the narrow entry and labo
iriiusly unbolted the front door, with
difficulty opening it a few inches
against the drift of snow already
piled up in its angle.
"Well !'' said Mrs. Trappe, surlily.
"Bello, I say ! Who's there!'
At first, he could perceive noth
ing but the white, blinding wilder
ne 8 of .'now which filled the stormy
night air, but as his eyes became
accustomed to the darkness he saw
a child's figure, wrapped in a coarse
3hdw!, with hair blowing over its
eyes.
"If you please, sir,'' began the lit
tle creature, whose eyes were about
on a level with the lower waist-butj
ton of Timothy's pepper-and-salt-colored
waistcoat.
'No !' said Timothy brusquely.
:We hain't nothin' for beggars !"
"But, please sir, my mother "'
"Oh !" snarled Timothy, screw
iog np bis eyes to gain a further
outlook info the darkness. "Your
mother is there, too, is she! Then
it's a clear cas o' tramps ! P'i'aps
your father is there and your nncle
and a few more of the family. jYo,
1 say !''
' But if you would tell me, sir,"'
faltered the child, instinctly retreat
ing before the harsh sound cf
Timothy Trappe's unmelodious
voice,
4I won't tell yoa nothin'," retort
ed Timothy, irately. "Ciear ont,
this instant, or I'll set the dogs on
ye!"
And, without waiting for a reply,
h6 closed the door again, sliding the
bolts into their rusty sockets with a
grunt of satisfaction.
' No, you do:'t !" said Timothy, to
himself, "I never yet have harbored
any of them tramps, and I never
mean to."
He came back to the room where
the lamp beamed a cheerful wel
come, and the back log was just
breaking into a fresh blaze and re
seated himself, with the air of one
who has done a laudable thing.
' Who was it ?" said Mrs. Trappe,
queruloasly.
"A beggar."
f4Man or woman V
'Nary ooe nor t' other," answered
her husband, sententiously. 44It
was a little girl."
"3ly patience !'' said Mrs. Trappe,
straitened herself up. "And you've
snt a little girl away in all this
storm V
''Of course, I have," snarled Tim
othy, "Sent her away ! Why
shouldo't I f This ain't a free tav
ern for every beggar, is it?''
"Timothy," paid his wife, roused
into actual ambition at last. "I do
believe when the Lord made yon He
put a lump of granite into the place
where your heart ought to i a' been I
My, anybody might freeze to death,
such a night as this !"
"Well, let 'etn i" said Timo!by,
philosophically. "It ain't no busi
ness of mine."
Mrs. Trappe rose up, and walking
iheumaiically across the floor, flat
tened her nose against, the windows
panes.
"If I didn't think she d got out o'
hearing, I'd call her back," said she.
"A ted of hay in the barn would be
better than no shelter at all, and
there's a bit ot cold chicken in the
pantry and a pitcher of buttermilk.''
"The cold chicken will warm np
very well for to-morrow's break
last," said Mr. Trappe. "Willful
waste makes woeful want ; and I've
engaged the buttermiik to J3ider
Hopkins at fonr cents a quart.
You'd give away everything we've
got, if you had yonr way! And
you'd fetch up finally in the poor
house !"
Mrs. Trappe hobbled back, mute,
to her old place ,by the fire she
knew very well thar her will was to
Timothy's but the wave that flings
itself with futile force against the
solid rock of the shore and relapsed
once more into silencj. But, per-,
haps who knows the impulse of
good which bad momentarily stirred
the s'uggish tides of her heart might
have counted for something in tho
yearly pages of the Recording An
gel's book !
The next morning, when Timothy
Trappe got up, the snow was piled
breast-high against the door, the
fences were all hidden and the out
houses seemed all to be floating in
a sea of white. The tempest was
over; the sun was feebly striding to
break through a waste of watery
clouds, and the wind was a? keen as
a knife.
"Blessrce! said Timothy, as be
wound a red and-btack worsted
comforter around his neck and
shouldered bis snow-shovel, "that
ere's a reg'lar old-fash'oued fall I
We hain't had such a storm in twen
ty year ! Hallo, Neighbor Jexon !"
as be reached the front gate, "you
ajnt never tryin' to break the road
by yourself! Business must be
presin', if"
"Business is pressing,'' Neighbor
Jexcn made reply a tall, rouud
shouldered man with kindly gray
eyes just visible above the wrapt
pings in which he was enshrouded
"I want you, Timothy Trappe."
"Want wis! And what, m the
name of common sense, do you
want with me f" cried out the am
azed farmer.
"Tiere rvas a woman found froze
to death, last night, under the stone
wall cf the apple-orchid by Miles
Hawley's cifiermill, with a little
girl crting beside her,"' spoke Jex.
on, slowly.
"What of that !" said Trappe, re
coiling a little as he recollected the
child in the worn sea l.-t shawl and
the hair flowing over her face. "It'a
no business of mine.''
"Ic was your daughter, Ursy
Briggan, and her child."
"You're teil'ng me a lie!"' shout
ed Timothy Trappe, clutching at
the fencepost for support. "Y'on're
a-deceivin' of me ! D you suppose
I'm goin' to believe any such story
as that?''
' Come and see for yourself,1' said
Jexon, pityingly. "A man who was
bringing a load of burels to the
mill found her there at nine o'clock.
Mrs. Hawley took her m, not know
ing who ehe w;ip, ::ud sent for the
doctor. The doctor was at mv
houe, with onr little croupy Billy,
a'id I rook him there in my s'eih.
And I knew her the miuute I set j
eyes on her.
"Jexon !" Trappe had clasped
his ruitteoed hands before his eyes.
"But it ain't true! It can't be! It
it was my Bessie, why didn't she
come to me to her own father?"
"Mau alive, you forget!'' said
Jexo', compassionately. "Iu such
a myht as last night there wasn't a
soul could make their way or teil
one point of the compass from an
other. And when your Besy wa
a girl, yon lived in the old stono-j
house by the cross roads, if you re
member. "True! True!;' Trappe spoke
faintly, like a man m a dream.
''Yes, I'll go with you, neighbor
Jexon, but it will b- a mere matter
of fcrm. My B ssy would never
cO'Tie h'-me here and perish in a
snmv-diift almost in sight ot her
father's house. There's a mistake
there must be !"
"And to think that it was our own
little grandchild as Timothy shut
the door upon !'' wai'ed Mr?i Trappe,
rockiug herself from side lo side.
"To think that he let Bessie die in
all the snow aud tempos', and us
sitting suug and warm by the fire!"
Aud she relapsed into sobs and
tears, while Timothy, sitting oppo
site, her, with a gray pallor on his
cheeks and lips set close together,
never stirred or spoke.
"His mind is a little touched, I
think," said neighbor Jexon, appre
hensively ; but Timothy turned and
looked him in the face.
"o," he said be ; "no, it ainfc ;
but I've a queer feeling heie,"
touching his forehead. "LikeI
fancy a dock must feel when its
machinery stops for good and all.'1
Timothy Trappe was stricken
down by paralysis that night, and
they buried him in a month.
And when the next snow fell, it
wove a cold and sparkling wrealh
over the old farmer's grave.
Governing Children,
by n. yv. e.
The government of children has
been a source of dissension in the
household since the world began,
and will be, presumably, till the
"new heaven and the new earth"
are produced. Chddren ought to
be an element of harmony in the
family, and to bring to the parents
united counsels and co-operative
love. In many ca?es this is the
happy result. Where it does not
produce this effect, it may be from
any of a variety of cause".
The mother, sometimes, has an
intense and excitable affection lor
ber children, which, when routed
up by anything that to her seems
like injury, takes on the form of a
tierce iustiuct, such as we see in the
lower animal kingdom.
Al other times, the mother feels
in an intense degree her special and
peculiar ownership in the child.
And truly the mother hap a right
that the father has not. She trav
ailed ; she bore it ; she suffered.
Chiefly upon ber lell the weariness,
the watching, the anxiety, the task
of early training aod instruction.
Her bfe is like a fountain poured
out for the child, ar-d whenever she
sees or fea's that ber long labor of
pa;n and patience is liable to be
perverted by the intrusion cf oue
who, thorgh fatber, and in law
made even superior to her In tb
control o children, it rouses res's
tnce which springs 'rom the very
Dots of moiai vendibility. A woman
may often press this right nnduly.
But no just and thoughtful man will
f:iil to recignizd a reason of justice
in a woman's claim to have much ot
the management of the children,
piovided she is really seeking their
advantage.
Since, men do not as yet produce
angels, but on'y little unripe men
over again, children must always be
a source of more or less trouble, in
convenience and annoianci in the
house. Both parents must take
their share ot the pat:ence inevita
bly required. Among other things,
children's noise most tie borne with.
They must not t?e too slruply curb
ed ; and yet, for their own good and
for the weifare of the familv, they
must not be lawless nor boisterous
withiu doors. Out-of-doors, aud in
play-rooms remote from hearing,
let them shout. It is good practice
for the lungs. But in or near the
common sitting-room they s'lonid
be trained to quietness. It is best
that they should early feel the ret
3ponsibility of contributing to the
common good. The household is a
little common-wealth. The child
is a new citizen. He must early be
taught the duties of citizenship. It
is an evil influence which permits
the child to sacrifice every person's
comtort in house for the selfish-sake
of its own enjoyment. It maybe
pleasant to the child for a moment,
but it sacrifices a higher good. A
chdd cannot learn too early: order,
subordination, obedience and a willing
contribution of it own pleasure for
the good of others. Ir restraint or
even descipliue be needed to secure
ihese results, it is best that the
child be subject to them. Health
ar d freedom mav be secured with
out allowing children to make nui
sdnces ot themselves.
Children untrained and boi-terous
invariably are objects of dislike to
all about :hom. They are the neigh
boihood talk, No parent by ueg
lect of discipline has a right to sub
ject his child to so mnch odium.
We take sides with the parent who
desires an oiderly family ; where
children are not vexatious despots :
where a man may feel reasonably
safe from an irruption of bears and
bnffnloes in human form; and where
the sharp, irritable selfishness of
over-indulged children should rot
be his daily portion. N. Y. Ledger-
Good Country Kotiris
The rapid growth of the League
for good roads since it was formed
by Gu. Roy Stone and his associ
ates is the best proof that there was
a need for its formation, and that
there is a widespread and deep
public interest in the beneficent re
form ' which it has undertaken to
promote. There are already branch
es of it in a majority of the States
and in hundreds of counties ; it has
already prompted several of tbee
branches to begin the work of road
improvement; it has secured the
co-operation of sundry influential
agencies which have never before
acted together; piles of letters of
inquiry are received at the office of
its secretary, and its expences have
been covered by voluntary sub
scriptions. It is the purpose of the League to
influence the State and connty au
thorifcies in the matter of road re
form, so that desirable laws npon
thei subject may be adopted by the
j legislatures of the several States
j Its method of procedure is yet to be
drawu us. It must, aDove all,
s;rive to secure the adoption ol
systematic and economical measures
of legislation. The expenditures
j including the cost of labor, in road-
making by local bodies are enor
mous, running op to at least a hun
dred millions of dollars annually
for the uhole country ; yet there is
hardly a State of the Union in
which there is any methodical road-
(large stretch cf decent eouniry road,
j With good country roads the raark-je'-ing
of farm product wonld be fa
j ciiitated ; the waste cf horse-power

Hawaii is knocking for admission
to Uncle Sam's family circle or at
least her to.'ninant, intelligent,
wealthy, business men, mostly Am
ericans, ;ire seeking his protection.
There is no clear unanimity of opin
ion as to what shall be done with
the request". Some think we have
territory and un assimilated popu
lation enough aud are opposed to
the acquisition of more territory
and particularly that 2,500 miles
away and peopled by Kanakas,
Chinese aGd Japanese who say they
are unfit to form a state or even to
manage a territorial government.
On the other hand it is said that the
natives are intelligent Christians
capable of selUgovernment ; that
we have encouraged our countrymen
to develop the wealth of the island
aud iuvest their monev that we owe
them protection ; that we. caa do
there what England does in one
way or another around the globe,'
and what England may do in Ha
waii if we do not. Further tfeey
say we need a station in the Pacific,
and also a station in the West In
dies for the defense ot a ship canal
across Central America and tbat we
need the latter for the mutual de
fense of our eastern and western
coast. We need these to break the
fortified circle which England is
building around ns and which she
would be pleased to complete with
Hawaii. Some assert ic to be oor
destiny to absorb all the territory
between the Arctic and the Carib
