My catarrh and cough were also cured by ,tlic same means, and my general health greatly improved, until it is now excellent.

That Golden Curl. 1 WMIVSS Perry Dayton sat in his stuffy little oflice, busily glancing over a heap of letters which that morning's post had brought for the establishment of M 'ssrs. Park and Hail y . He came to one addressed in a peculiarly dain ty feminine hand, and opened it with a little more curiosity than he had deigned to bestow upon the others. 'Enclosed please rind invisible hair net color of hair sent. Ad dress Miss Ella Terrell, Oakhaven," etcetera. 'Miss Ella Terrell has very lovely hair," thought the young man, exam irting the long curl attentively. It was golden brown, and shone radiant' ly in the beams of sunlight which at that particularly momantcame pour ing in at that little window. "Per haps, though, it is not her own hair.' However, he laid the letter and soft coil aside, resolving to match that invisible net himself. It was very strange, but a vision of a young lady with golden brown hair would keep intruding itself between his eyes and the remaining letters. Sometimes brown eyes accompanied the hair, sometimes blue. Now it was a petite figure again 'divinely tall and most divinely fair.' Having skimmed over them all he betook himself to that department of the establishment devoted to such articles as the one required. Box after box he examined, and turned away dissatisfied. He began to despair. Here was the identical one at last. He carried it in triumph to the office and began to write: 'I have, my dear Miss Ella, at last found one to match your beautiful curl. L hope ' 'What bosh I am wiiting! Why Perry, old boy, you're clean gone!' he exclaimed, tossing the offending mis sive in the waste basket. Enclosing the article in a wrapper, he addressed it, and laid it with sim ilar parcels on a shelf, at the same time consigning the curl to his vest pocket. 'Of course you are aware, Mr. Day ton, that some one must go north shortly to attend to that businesu in Liverpool; and as we have found you faithful in the discharge of your duties, and place the utmost confi dence in your judgment, Mr. Haily and myself have decided that you are the one to go.' Thus spoke the senior partner, com ing into the office where Perry was sitting. This happened a few months later. Perry's beaming face fully expressed his appreciation of this mark of esteem, He was to start in two days. This was Thursday. The next Wednes day morning found our friend taking breakfast at the 'Adelphi Hotel,' Liverpool. The business would prob ably keep him there a month or so. He had plenty of leisure time, and devoted it to viewing the sights. One evening he entered the office of a young fellow connected with the business house of Park and Haily, and found him making an elaborate toilette. 'Why this unusual and unnatural regard for thy tippearance, O Treve lyn?' he exG'aimed, advancing into the room where his friend stood. 'I am going to a party. Don't you want to come?' 'Yes. Where is it?' 'At Old Swan, four miles away. We will take a cab at eight precisely.' Trevelyn was well known and liked at Old Swan. He had lived there several years, and so it was that Per ry was presented tosome of the nicest people in the place. He was talking with Mrs. Langdon when he discouered that Trevelyn was dancing with a very pretty young lady. Sho had dark epes, a small oval face, and was dressed in some airy, floating material. But her hair attracted his" attention par ticularly. It reminded him of a cur ly lock which he had carried about for several months. And then she wore an invisible net, which was probably what caused him to remem ber that other lock. 'Don't you agree with me, Mr. Day ton?' 'Oh, yes, indeed f be said, having not the slightest idea what Mrs. Lang don was talking about. The waltz came to an end at last, and the two found their way to where our friend were seated. 'Won't you introduce me to the fair dancer?' Daytou asked at the earliest opportunity. 'Was Miss Terrell engaged for the next dance?' A glance at a dainty programme proved the contrary. "Might he have the pleasure?' ' Yes. ' What a delightful turn that was! Dayton had never enjoyed anything so much. He had some thought of telling Miss Terrell that a lock of that mass of wavy hair was at that mo ment lodged in his pocket. A lro- pituous fate permitted him to dance again with her during the evening, and even to accompany their party to supper. The next day Trevelyn and Dayton called to pay their respects at the Terrell mansion. This was not the last time. And then Perry fell into the habit of going without Trevelyn. The weeks slipped away quitely, and at length Perry discovered that he was madly, wildly, hopelessly in love with the fair owner of the fateful net. One day there was to be a picnic Nature exerted herself to the utmost on tlijp particular occasion. No one hadjjbver e- perien'ced a more de lightfully jj.ire atmosphere. How fresh every tning looked ! how sweet ly the birds sang! A winding road through the trees led them at length to just the oort of place they were looking for. Then came the bustle of alighting and collecting the bas kets, and all sat down for a general chat before going btl ,in exploring parties., ; The delights of picnics were being warmly discussed, when a gray clad gentleman on horseback was seen approaching through the tree'3 at one side. He seemed m nowise discomfited by numerous pairs of eyes bent upon him. 'Why, T. gy, where did you come from?' cried Miss Ella, prettily; while the pater et mater shook him warmly by the hand. 'I found myself able to be with you earlier than I expected. They told me you were all booked for the day, so I determined to follow suit.' 'It is so nice that you happened to come on this particular day ! We are going to have such a nice day !' said Mrs. Terrell. 'I'm not so sure of that,' soliloquiz ed Dayton, gloomily, remarking how pleased Ella seemed at the advent of this stranger. 'Mr. Dayton Mr. Grey don,' came at last; and our friend found the keen, gray eyes giving him a search ing look during the process of a grace ful bow. 'I think Princess would thank me for a drink of water.' And Greydon proceeded to lead the handsome animal to the stream a few steps off. Ella, excusing herself gracefully, accompanied Mr. Greydon. Already daggers of jealousy seemed piercing Dayton's heart. "When is the wedding to come off?" he heard someone ask Mrs. Terrell. 'Then they are engaged! Why didn't someone tell me before I made such an utter fool of myself?' he groaned. Everyone thought this precise mo ment a suitable time for exploring tours, and separated into groups. The poor fellow wandered off by himself, he did not care whither. His brain seemed on fire. He was despe rarely in love. Why had she always seemed so pleased to see him? He had thought so differently of her! What an idiot he was to go on loving the girl ! One who could act so falsely was not worthy of his affection. These were some of his excited thoughts. He would go back. He would show her that this stranger's presence made not the slightest difference to him. He turned hastily, and discovered that he had wondered some distance. Arriving at the spot, he found Miss Ella, evidently much fatigued, alone. He approached , arrd made a remark about the weather. Ocommomplace young man ! 'I was just wishing for :someone to come, and had a vague idea that the nymph of the stream might venture to show herself if no one else appear ed,' she said, languidly fanning her flaming cheeks. 'I will retire in favor of the nymph.' 'No; I would rather see you now, having no energy left for the contem plation of naiads.' Dayton's face lighted up for an in stant, and then resumed its gloom j' expression . 'Mr. Grej-don has gone, and I sup pose everyone else is off enjoying themselves,' continued Ella. I thought Mr. Greydon was a fix ture; had. come on purpose to see you that is ' 'Dear me, no?" laughed Ella. He is on his way to my Aunt Hattie's, who lives at Liverpool. He is to marry my cousin in August, and only stop ped here to consult papa about some thing.' 'Miss Terrell Ella dear Ella! I have been such a fool ! Of course no right-minded person would like to intrude on the conver sation which followed; suffice it to say that two weddings 'came off in August instead of one, and one happy pair consisted of Ela Terrell and Mr. Perry Dayton, Limber Made of Paper, . r. Lumber is now made' of "the pulp of wheat, rye and" oat straw, and other vegetable fibres, combimed with chemical ingredients and cements. It is foi ufd. i in ; layers, .bou', one quarter of an inch in ..thickness, and these are pressed together by power ful machinery, and thus rendered as hard as the hardest wood,' , besides being m uch rn6r& xlfenie. The boards are also rendered waterproof in va ry ing degreesaccording to - purpose for which they are to be used F The material is as durable as time; and can be sold at a good profit for al most half less than ordinary pine lumber. It will, take any finis', and in this respect alone is equal to the finest hard wood. Moreover, it can be marbleizsd in immitation of any kind of marble, both in respect to a high degree of polish and an ex act imitation of 'grain. Jt will not warp and can be rendered perfectly waterproof if desired, thus making it suitable for the construction of burial caskets. It makes just as sol id a surface as any wood and may be made of the hardness of stone. As a substitute for wood in the construe tion of buildings it possesses quail ties of perfect adaption, lit jviII make the finest material in the world for roofing, not excepting slate or iron. It can be sawed split or planed, and boards made of it or perfectly smoc.a, and flat from end to end On both sides, without any, knes, cracks or blemishes of any kind commonly met with in woru. But is tho . sup ply of .paper .stock sufficient to per mit the general use of paper lumber as a substitute for wood? Why not? The production of straw alone is suf ficient. It takes 100 years to grow 20,000 feet of natural lumber on an acre of ground. On the other hand, an acre of ground will produce every year enough straw to make 2,000 feet of artificial lumber, and hence in a hundred years it will produce 200.000 feet ten times as much as the quality of natural lumber. 'Wanted. Daughters. "Now that we are engaged," said Miss Pottleworth, "come and let me introduce you to papa." "I believe that I have met him re turned young Spickle. ' But in another capacity than that of son in-law." "Yes er, but I'd rather not meet him to night." "Oil, you must." and despite the almost violent struggles of the young fellow he was drawn into the library where" a large, red-faced man, with a squint in one eye, and an enlarge ment of the nose, sat looking over a lot of papers. "Father.," "Huh," he replied, without look ing up. "I wish to present to you " "What?" he exclaimed, looking up and catching sighc of young Spickle. "Have you the impudence to follow me here? Didn't I tell you I would see you to morrow?" "Why, father you don't know Mr. Spickle, do you?" "I don't know his name, but I know that he has been to my office three times a day for the past week with a. bill. I know him well enongh. 1 can't pay that bill to night, young man. Come to my office to-morrow." "I hope,' said Spickle, that you do not think so ill of me. I have not come to collect the bill you have re ferred to, but" "The deuce! Got another one?" "You persit in misunderstanding me. I did not come to collect a bill, 1 can come to morrow and see you about that. To night I proposed to your daughter and have been accept ed. Our mission is to acquaint you of this fact and to ask your consent to our mitrriage." "Well,' said the old fellow, "is: that all? Blamed if I din't think you' had a bill. Take the gjrl if that's what you want; but say, didn't I tell you to bring the bill to-morrow" , "Yes. sir." "V el', you needn't. Our relations are different now. Wish I had a daughter for every bill collector in town." The Terrible Small Boy. "Mr. Crimsonbeak, will you show me your chickens if I come down to j our house some day ?" asked little Johnny Yeast of that gentleman, the other evening, when he and his wife were calling at the Yeast residence. "Why, Jo'miny, I. don't keep chick ens," replied Mr. Orimsonbeak, gent ly patting tlie boy 0:1 the head; what made you think I did? ' "Why, whenever I hear mamma mention jour name, she always calls you the hen pecked husband; but I can't see how you can be called hen pecked it you dont keep any dickens." Johnny suddenly vanished from te room; and took his father's ele vator for the garret. -Statesman.

Tlie narrative Lelow by a promi nent scientist touches a subject of universal importance. Few people are free from the distressing evils which hypochondria brings.

It is seldom I appear in printland I should not do so 1 "w did I not be lieve myself in possession of truths, the revelation of which will prove of inestimable value to many who may see these lines. Mine has been a trj-ing experience. For many years I was conscious of a want of rrve tone. My mind seemed sluggish and I felt a certain falling off in my natural condition of intellectual acutenoss, activity and vigor. . 1 presume this is the same way in which dn innumerable number of ot'jer people feel, who like myself are pnysically below par, but like thou sands of others I paid no attention to these annoying troubles,, attributing them to overwork, and resorting to a glass of beer or a milk punch, which would for the time invigorate and relieve my weariness. After awhile the stimulants com menced to disagree with my stomach, my weariness increased, and I was compelled to resort to other mean to find relief. If a physician is suf fering he invariably calls another physician to prescribe for himr as he cannot see himself as hi sees others; so I called a physician arid he advised me to try a little chemical food, or a bottle of hypophosphates. I took two or three bottles of the chemical food with no apparent' benefit. My lassi tude and indisposition seemed to in crease, my food distressed me. I suffered from neuralgic pains in dif ferent parts of my body, my muscles became sore, my bowels were consti pated, and my prospects for recovery were not .very flattering. I stated my case to another physician, and he advised me to take five to ten drops of Magende's solution of morpliine, two or three times a day, for the weakness and distress in my stomach, and a blue pill every other night to relieve tho constipation. Tlie mor phine produced such a deathly nau sea that I could not take it, and the blue pill failed to relieve my constipa tion. In this condition I passed nearly a year, wholly unfit for busines, while the effort to think -as irksome and painful. My blood became impover ished, and I suffered from incapacity with an appalling senr-e of misery and general apprehension of o.oming evil. I passed sleepless nights and was troubled with irregular action of the heart, a constantly feverish condition and the most excruciating tortures in my stomach, living for days on rice water and gruel, and, indeed,the digestive functions seemed to be en tirely destroyed. It was naturi.l that while in this condition I should become hypochon drical and fearful suggestions of self destruction occasionally presented themselves. I experienced an in satiable desire for sleep, but on retiring would lie awake for a long time tormented with troubled reflec tions, and when at last I did fall into an uneasy slumber of short duration, it was disturbed by horrid dreams. In this condition ! determined to take a trip to Europe, but in spite of all J tho attentions of physicians and change of scene and climate, I did not improve and so returned home with no earthly hope or ever again being able to leave the house. Among the numerous friends that called on me was one who had been afflicted somewhat similarly t ray self, but who had been restored to perfect health. Upon hi3 earnest recommendation I began the same treatment he had employed but with little hope of being benefited. At first I experienced little, if any, relief, except that it did not distress my stomach as other remedies or even food had done. I continued its use, however, and after the third bottle could see a marked change for the better, and now after the fifteenth bottle I am happy to state that I am again able to attend to my profes sional duties. I slsep well, nothing, distresses me that I eat, I go from day to day without a feeling of wear; iness or pain, indeed I am a well man, and wholly through the in fluence of H. H.. Warner & Co.'s Tippecanoe. I consider this remedy as taking the highest possible rank in the treatment of all diseases Tnarked by debility, loss of appetite, and all other symptoms of stomach and digestive disorders. It is overwhelm ingly superior to the tonics, bitters, iand dyspepsia cures of the day, and is certain to be so acknowledged by the public universally. Thou sands of people to-day are going to premature graves with these serious diseases, that I. have above described, and to all wuch I would say : "Do not let your good judgKient be gov erned by. your prejudice's, but give the abovje, named remedy a fair and patient trial, and I believe you wrfl not only be rewarded by a perfoot res toration to healthl but you Will also be convinced that the medical pro fession docs not possess all the knowl edge there is embraced in medial science."

A writer iu the Evqnelist tells of a boy who Was wise enough to de cline the assistance which would have weakened him mentally and injured his self reliance. The story,, which convcy8ts moral, is'as 'follows: I know a boy who was prepared to enter the junior class ojf the New York University. He -was studying trigo nometry, and I gavahim three exam pies for his next lesson. The following day became into my room to demonstrate his problems. Two of them ho- understood, but the third a very difficult one he had not performed. I said to him, "Shall I help you?" "No, sir! I can and will do it if you give me time." I said, "I will give you all the timo you wish." The next day ho came into my room to recite a lesson in the same study. "Well, Sitnoq, have you worked that example?" "No. sir," he answered; "but I can and will do it, if you give me a littlo more time." "Certainly you shall have all the timo you desire." I always like these boys w ho are determined to do their own work, for they make our best scholars, and men too. The third morning you should have seen Simon enter m3? room. ' I knew ho had it, for his whole face told the story of .his sue cess. Yes, he had il, notwithstanding it had cost him many hours of the se verest mental labor. Not only had he solved the problem but, what was of infinitely greater importance to him, be had begun to develop mathematical powers, which, under the inspiration of "I can and wHl," he has coptinued to cultivate, until to-day he is prosessor of Mathe matics in one of our largest colleges, and one of the ablest mathematicians of his years in our country. What Millionaires Hut. Joseph E. Brown of Georgia, is the wealthiest and one of the oldest Uuited States Senators. He is also one of the plainest men to be found anywhere. He may be called a "home granny.'' He wears long white whiskers and store clothes. He is fond of old fash ioned things, especially, olden time dinners. The other day he sat in the cloak-room on the Democratic side of the Senate with a number of bis old Senatorial friends, smoking and joking. Finally the conversa. tion turned to dinners and good things to eat. Senator Butler of South Carolina, knows a good dinner as well as any man when it is served out to him, and in his most eloquent terms he tld of how he liked canvas back duck, and sauterne, and Cana da grouse and champagne and tarra- pin and good old sherry, and how he wanted it served up hot, with sa roy al old crowd of boys around , him. Then several other Senators named their favorite dishes. Senator Brown looked on and listened, while a stream of water trickled out of his mouth.- Finally he broke in: :" , ' Well, gentlemen, you may talk of your terrapin and chanipage, and your crowds, and all that, but you may just dish up old Joe Brown and his old woman puddle duck and sweet potatoes." And he wiped his mouth on his coat sleeve and fairly worked bis jaws at the thought of it. A Sure Cure-Ail. An old Newport lady is a great be liever in coal oil as a cure for every thing; in fact, as a cure all, she's got coal oil on the brain. And a few evenings ago, while some old women friends were calling upon her, one of them remarked : . T don't know what's the matter with my Johnny's knee. It's swelled, and it makes him so lame he can hardly walk.' . 'Bathe it in coal oil,' said the old lady ; 'I'll guarantee you it'll cure it.1 Another one said,- 'My Sarah has such a dreadful pain bot ween the eyes. . . Well, all she's got to do is to rub it well with coal oil three or four times a day. and I'll cure her,' hastily re marked the old lad y. 'Well' said the third woman". 'I ain't got nobody sick about my house, but if a body hasn't got trouble one way she's got it another. All I can do I'cannot get my Jennie to stay at home of evenings.' 'Rub her with coal oil,, and I'll guarantee you it will surely cure her,' returned the old lady, in good earnest. s .A German professor has figured it out that man came from, the bear, and while we can scarcely think of it it may be so, for men and" women jove to hug as bears do, '" The North Carolinian Wondetiaftd.
