SCROFULA and all scrofalon iMUM, 8ores, Erysip. las, Eczema, Blotch, Kiofworm, Tu mors, Carbuncle, Bolls, and Eruptions of the Skin, are the direct result of an impure state of the blood. To cure these diseases the blood must be parifld, and restored to a healthy and na tural condition. A VEh's Saksapakilla has for orer forty years been recognised by emi nent medical authorities as the most pow erful blood purifier in existence. It frees the system from all foul humors, enriches and strengthens the blood, removes all traces of mercurial treatment, and prorea itself a complete master of all scrofulous diseases. A Recent Cure of Scrofulous Sores. "Some months ago I was troubled with scrofulous sores (ulcers) on my legs. The limbs were badly swollen and inflamed, and the sores discharged large quantities of - offensive matter. Kvery remedy I tried failed, until 1 used Avek'S SAUSAPARILLA, of which I have now taken three bottles, with the result that the sores are healed, and my general health greatly improved. 1 feel very grateful for the good your medicine has done hip.

Weary of living, so weary, Trying to lie down and dis, To find for the sad hear and dreary The end of the pilgrimage nigh. Weary, so weary of wishing, For a form that has gone from my sight, For a voice that is hushed to me forever For eyes that to me were so bright. Weary, so weary of waiting, Waiting f or sympathy sweets For something to lore, and to loVe me And pleasures that are not so fleet, For a hand to be held on my forehead A glimpse of the golden brown hair, Vrjr a step that to me waseweet music, And a brow that was noble and fair. Tired, so tired of drifting Adown the dark stream of life, Tired of breasting the billow, The billows ot toil and strife, Wishing and waiting so sadly, For the love that was s woe tent and best, Willing to die, Oh ! so gladly If that would bring quiet and rest. THYRA. BY MALY 8. LADD. It was at the Springs that this transpired, not Saratoga, but a little quiet watering place which people visited, mostly to build up their sys tems, instead of reducing them. And yet. there were those who came to kill time, or because certain of their set were to be here, and so it usually turned out that there was a fair dis play of beauty, and fashion, and folly ; enough to attract the attention ot" the observant villagers, the femi nine portion of.which took bird's eye views of it all from the front windows of the milliner's shop, while the rustic swains lounged about the stores and street corners, in as close proximity as possible to the world gone mad. For me, I was attending an invalid aunt, who was in need of companion ship and care, and in this way it fell out that I was spectator at the show. But this js not my story ; and it hard ly matters how I was there, provided I loan you my lenses while the play goes on. It was an out of-tho-way town on the lake, where these healing waters had happened to break forth. A. pleasant country, dotted around by brown old homesteads, and orchards of delicious fruit. There wa3 little opportunity for amusement, except the pleasant walks that nature had furnished. There was, of course, the inevitable croquet-ground, containing the solitary Indian tent at one end, where manufactured baskets, and other trinkets, which were real work of art. The place could boast but two pub lic houses; one built years ago, when the town was less accessible than now, and another which had follow ed, as a natural consequence, the ad vent of a railroad. This latter had a Mansard roof, and looked rather pretentious when contrasted with the old-fashioned architecture of its rival. My tastes being somewhat primaeval, I leaned: toward the latter structure; but my aunt expressed her decision by saying, 'If we want real comforts, Amanda, we must go where they are to be found, and net let our mediae val tastes get the better of our judg ment.' There were, at this time, here, about six hundred visitors, two thirds of whom were at this house. We met in the upper saloon and lower saloon, on the gallerias, at the springs, in the pleasant walks, and on the shore; and a very motley group we made, in one place and another. There were young and old ; pale faces and bright ones; quiet people, and people who came for their penny's worth of pleasure, and who meant to have it. I did not expect pleasure at all in such a crowded place ; but soon I, too, found enjoyment, for Thyra was there. She came with an invalid relative, a brother's wife, who called her Thyra, and that was all the name I then knew for her. It was refreshing of an evening to see her enter the rooms among over dressed females, with her quiet parb and unassuming ways. There were fair faces among the groups gathered together there, and Thyra's you could not call a fair one. Sooner or later a thinking face is apt to get on a few sallow tints, and an excellent little thinking-cap was Tbyra's finely shaped head. The ladies, at first, hardly deemed her worthy of notice, she assumed so little, and dressed so plainly; but. within a week, they found that they had in her a dangerous rival. There seemed to be some spell in her beau ti ful brown eyes, something subtle in her speech, and magnetic in her pres ence, that the best men there paid homage to. And so, the fairest woman at the Springs, Miss Desmond, a very brilliant girl, used to admira tion in all places, ;I felt sure, seemed to think her territory was disputed, and was proportionably malicious. By far the most distinguished man here, was George Thurston, Esq., who had taken respite at this place, perhaps, because he liked the green hills, the shore, and the flshing- grounds. But, strange to say, George Thurston, Esq., did not trouble him self about Thyra, while she seemed entirely unconscious of his existence. But be allowed himself to'be angled for by Miss Desmond ; and I was dis appointed, for J had selected him from the crowd as a truly manly man; and of all the ladies there, Thyra was the one whom I had set apart as properly belonging to him. Thyra, so broad minded and so gene rous, incapable of any meanness, and, without beauty, succeeding to be a very charming woman! After awhile, though, I settled myself to accept the position, with the comfort ing conclusion that these things usually went wrong in this world, but that we only bad to be patient to see them righted in the Dext. One evening, when about to enter one of the drawing-rooms, I found Thyra, standing alone, and looking the proudest of women; I was always finding some new thing about Thyra The seats were all occupied, 60 many had been wheeled out on the veranda during the afternoon. There were no gentlemen in yet, but biae of the lesser beaux, . whom Miss Desmond had accepted in absence of other ad mirers. He occupied a chair at her side, near which Thyra was stand ing. Miss Desmond, who was really too well bred to have countenanced such a thing under ordinary circum stances,, had yielded to her ungene rous nature, and, taking the advant age of her rival's uncomfortable posi tion, made caustic littlo speeches, which caused the gentlemen to titter and Thyra to raise her proud little head like a princess. Just then, Mr. Thurston appeared at my side. He looked in at the door, and, compre hending the position almost instant ly, came foi ward and placed his hand on the gentleman's chair. 'You do not observe,' he said, 'a lady is stand ing;' and, half raising him from it, he placed it with a low bow at Thyra's side. She raised her eyes to his face, but scarcely bent in acknowl edgement. Being spectator at the show, as I have before intimated, I was suited with the play this evening, and, in a satisfied mood, slipped out and follow ed the path down to the water. It was in one nook and another of this j pleasant shore that we, Thyra and I had at first and often met. She was something of an artist, and I often sat near, book in hand, while she made her sketch. To night I took' my seat on the gnarled rDst ot au elm, and looked out beyond its shadow on the silvery waters of the lake, I had 1 brought the aforesaid satisfaction with me, and I do not doubt it helped to enhance the beauty of the spot; but 1 thought I had never looked upon so lovely a scene as this bit of I water, tree, and rock shadows in the moonlight. I had not sat long when Thyra passed me and stood down on the the glistening sand ; and soon I saw Mr. Thurston nearing where she stood. She made a movement, at first, as though she would have turn ed away, and I saw that her eves were luminous as lamps, and her lips pressed tightly together. He also seemed greatly moved when he spoke. 'Thyra,' he said, I saw that in your eyes to-night, that gave denial to the charge that has weighed me down for so many months; and I can scarcely believe that jTou discarded me for such a man as John Lytle.' , 'John Lytle!' her eyes flash scorn;- 'who dared slander me?' In a moment he had taken her hand. 'Then . I did see a gleam of the old love in your eyes to night, Thyra?' 'Love !' 6he repeated 'I have learn ed to scoff at it. Don't come to me, pray, with the set phrases coined for Ida Desmond's ear.' I had been moving softly away, and further the deponent , knoweth not. We were to leave the next day, and I met Thyra but once. It was on the stairs that I gave her a hurried fare well. There was a story in her face, and I searched for its revealment; but the tale was caught up quickly to herself, and she passed on;' and I do not know that I should have ever been made the wiser, as our paths lay so wide apart she going back to the rush and turmoil of city lite, and 1 keeping quietly to the old homestead for my aunt did not receive benefit from the healing waters, but, a few weeks after our return, passed quiet ly away, leaving me, Amanda, her favorite neice, all her worldly posses sions. But yesterday, at breakfast the morning paper was brought in, and, running my eyes along its columns, they halted at the following notice: . In New York, November 20th, by Rev. C. D. Field, George Thurston, Esq., to Miss Thyra Heston, both of . . i . New York.' And I finished coffee and muffins with unusual relish, and immediately set about revising my (former theory. that suitability and fitness were celestial endowments, only to be found in the abode of the goods.

HOjV A SHARP COLORED MAN SECURED i CHRISTMAS POTTLTRY. 4. -0e evening last week an attentive ey 4 might have seen a number of dark forms wending their silent way dojrn a street in Hoboken. They mOved with an air of grim determi natioa that could only have been born of a high purpose. Onward in silence they steadily advanced, until the dim light of the stars revealed to their eager eyes a sigubord bearing thfciny s tic legend; 'Shin bones Smith, artistic whitewasher.' 'Dis yer's de shanty, hain't it?' re marked Pete Maguff. Yas, dis yer's de place,' answered Jefferson Gilderoy. Peter then advanced and delivered two distinct raps upon the door. They were answered by one from the inside, and then the glistening eyes of Mr. Shinbones Smith appear ed. 'Coma in yer, all yo' chumps,1 said he. The company having assembled around a small red-hot cylinder stove, Mr. Smith took the chair and said: 'Breddern, we hab met hyer for a sacred and solemn puppose. De glad Christmas time an gittin closefoy ap' de yards ob de white folks will be stocked wid prime turkeys.' Mr. Smith paused and looked about to observe the effect of this in sidious remark. A general rolling of white eyes and smacking of dusty lips assured him that his words had not beep in vain. , He continued thus: 'We hab, darfur, dissembled ter form a society fur de pervention of stealin' chickens. De constitution will be in one verse, as follers: 'We de ondersigned do hyarby, each an' ebery mudder's son ob us, swar by Aunt Chloe's gum shoes dat qn an' after disdate ontil de second day ob January, eighty-foah, we will not steal chickens. Again Mr. Smith paused and looked around for approbation. He was greettd by a dubious shaking of heads and Pete Maguff, having un folded his knotted limbs, arose and 'Look hyar, Brudder Shinbones, hain't dis yer pussedin' kinder on reg'lar?' Mr. Smith gazed upon the speaker with the air of a King an answered in sarcastic tone : 'Mistah Petah Maguff, yo' is too fresh. Yo' is so blamed green . dat ef yo' was out'n a field de cattle'd take yo' fur grass and chaw y'up. Listen hyar. now, ter de rest: 'It bein' onderstud dat dis yer agree ment does not include turkey or goose.' AK h h-h h-h !' was the unanimous response from the assembly. 'I reckon,' remarked Jefferson Gilderoy, 'dat we mout as well con. sidcr dat motion carried. 'Hoi' on,' remarked the Chairman; 'dar hain't no motion befoah de house yit.' And Jefferson sat down, impressed with the parliamentry learning of Shinbones Smith. Another brother made the necessary motion, which was carried, and the meeting closed with the utmost harmony. But when Pete Maguff had retired to the embrace of his silent couch, he was sore troubled. 'Whar's de use,' he reflected, 'ob furbiddin' de stealin' ob chicken? Supposin' yo' is goin' ter hab com p'ny ter dinner, yo' want moah on de table den turkey. Dem dar od der fellers kin do jis what dey like, but dis hyar coon is goin' tor hab chicken wid his turkey and goose, an' doan't yo' disremember dat Cully.' On the following night the form of the triangular Peter might have been discerned moving softly through the nether gloom of Mr. Aristiue Buce phalus' back yard. There was e fowl-house in that back yard, and in it were proud and pompous turkeys, broad and waddlesome geese, and plump and pugnacious roosters. Peter moved with an air of settled purpose toward the window in the side of the house. Producing a glazier's glass cutter, he carefully re moved the large pans of glass, and thrust his arm in. The lock was easily found, and in another moment Peter was surrounded by the feather ed tempters. He selected, with artis tic judgment, a fat turkey, a fine goose and a splendid rooster. Hastily striding their noise he carried them outside and deposited them in hi bag. In another moment he was out of the yard. But before he had ad vanced a hundred feet, three ghostly forms arose from the earth and con fronted him. Peter dropped his bag and turned pale as pale as he could. The three specters pointed their bony fingers at him and advanced. Peter's knees shook, his teeth chattered and he made a gibbering attempt to pray er. The Chree: ghosts were :nbw Inv mediately, in front of bimv Qnd they stretched out their arms-as it to env brace 'him. Peter uttered an un earthly shriek and tried to run away, but a j heavy band was laid on his shoulder, and he heard a voice, which he ought to have recognized, saying: 'Look" hyar, yo chump; we am a committee oh throe, 'pin tad by de society ter look arter yo'. What yo' got in dat bag?' It was Mr. Shinbones Smith. Peter, partly recovering from hia terror, said : Turkey.' What else?' 'Goose.' What else?' 'NawthinV 'Peter Maguff, yo' is a liar an de truff am not in yer ' The bag was opened and the chick en found. 'De penalty fur dis defense, said Mr. Smith, is dat y&be well duck ed, an' . de chicken b'longs ter de chairman of de society.' And they took - Peter down to the river walk, and, after putting a rope around him, threw him into the North i iver several timqs. And Mr. Shinbones Smith took the chicken. But Peter has since remarked that he's not so green as he looks, and his pnvats opinion is that the movement was put up' by Shinbones for the purpose of providing himself with a Christmas chicken. N. Y. Times. A Patent Car-Coupler. There will never come a time when the head-quarter office of a railroad line will not receive at least one vie it per week from the man with a patent car-coupler. During the last fifteen years he has called four times a week ,and that average is being kept up in a way to wear out hall carpets as fast as manufactures can desire. The car-couplers are not all alike, but the inventors are. The programme is as regular as if it had been adopted by a large majority. The inventor asks for the President of the road and is 'shown to the of fice: 'Good morning. Is the president in?' "No, sir, he won't be in until after dinner. Anything special?' 'Well, rather special, I have inven ted ' 'Ah! A patent car-coupler! You must go to the General Suprintenden dent.' 'It's the biggist thing of the kind ever hear of. 'Yes, I know, but you'll find him juui uwia uunu tuu Uixik. The inventor opens the fourth door and a clerk inquires : 'What is your business?' 'Well, I bad a lame foot last fall and couldn't do much of any work, and so I set about and ' 'Invented a car-coupler, of course. The General Suprintendent is not in. The third door to the left for the as sistant.' The third door' opens to find an at tendant ready (to inquire what is wanted. t Well, being I had got to come to town to buy myself some hickory shirting, I thought I might as well bring along ' 'Your patent car-coupler. We were expecting you. Go down to the yard master.' 'Everybody in our town says this is the biggest thing ever invented.and I reckon ' 'Right this way to go down to the yard-master's office.' The yard master isn't in. The train dispatcher won't listen. The gate keeper has no time. The depot policeman may look ot the .invention some other day. When he entered the depot with that patent coupler under his arm his mind was made up to let the Michigan Central or Lake Shore put it on tteir cars for fifty thousand dollars cash down. Two hours have done the business for him and "as he starts uptown the coupler is recklessly thrown under a seat in the waiting room and the inventor hopes from the bottom of ' his boots that somebody will staaL it before he gets back. Detroit Free iVesa. An Easy Place. "A lad onced stepped into our Of fice in search of a situation. He was asked: "Are ydu employed?" 4Yes, sir." . "Then why do you wish to make a change ? 'Ob, I want an easier place. We had no place for him. No one wantd a boy or man who is seeking an easy place, yet that is the difficul ty with thousands.- ' Will the boys let us advise them. Go in for the hard places; bend your selves to the task of showing how much you can do. Make yourself serviceable to your employer at what ever cost of personal ease, fend when the easy places are to be had they are to be yours. Life is toilsome at best to most of us, but the easy pla ces are to be the end, not at the be ginning of life's course. They are to be won, not accepted." Selected.

As the defendant took the stand, says the San Francisco Post, hishoii or said: 'Prisoner, you are cHarged with having removed the goblet from the hand of the Cogswell statue, substitu ting a pair two-bit suspenders, with a placard calling attention to your establishment across the way.' Well, shudge.' replied the offen der, with an ingratiating smile, xiff goorae I vants to. get along in pees ness. 'Afjter which,' continued the judge sternly, you substituted a lot of neck ties for the suspenders, and attach ed to the other hand a lot of hills re ferring to your new stock of gum shoes and hair oil.' 'Dose hair oil is fust rate, your hon or,' said the defandant. I would like to sell you pottle.' 'And yesterday,' continued the court, consulting the indictment, 'you obstructed the thro' fares and and created a disturbance by placing a paper collar and plug hat on th j statue Dost blug hat. is cheap at shuge. Moses Levy sharges fifo and a half vor dem same kind,' rejoined the trader, cheerfully. I beats those lei lei's ebery time. 'And at night,' went on his honor, 'at night it appears you placed in the figures hand a transparency con taining a further advertisement of your wares. Now this is most im proper and reprehensible. 'Dot's right, shudge,' said Mr. Sol omons, delightedly, 'Bitch into me, off you blease. Spheak loubt, so doso noosbaper vellers gan hear you;' and he smiled benigntly upon the re porters. 'Great heavens!' thundered tho court, as a frightful idea struck him. 'Is it possible that you have the men dacity to use the machinery of this court as an advertising dodge?' 'Dot's it, dot's it. shudge!' exclaim ed .the cheap John, rubbing his hands exultantly. 'I svore out the gom. blaint ,myself !' Twists and Twinges. ."My brethren," -i-..ovu ur.' xai mage on one bright autumnal Sun day, "here is a le3son from the corn field. God has arranged that the ear and the husk shall be parted. Every rheumatic pain is but a thrust of the husking peg, and every neuralgic twinge is only a twist of the bus ker." Possibly but nobody wants to - be husked, for all that and nature teach" es us to resist tho process. Therefore we accept, with grattitudo whatever helps us to suppress those very twist and twiages. From his pleasant home, Green- mont, near Sing Sing, N. Y., M. A. Baer, a French gentleman, writes. "I hafe suffered almost Intolerable torments from rheumatism for many years. Of the numerous remedies which I tried, none benefited . mo. But Parker's Tonic gave me great sat isfaction. I certify-with pleasure that it restored my health. You are welcome to publish this and use my name." Messrs. Hiscov & Co. call special attention to the fact that this prep aration, wkich lias been known as Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be advertised and sold simply under the name of Parker's Tonic. As un principled deal ers are constantly de ceiving their customers by substitu ting inferior preparations under the name -of ginger, and as ginger is really an unimportant ingredient, we drop the misleading word. There is no chango, however, in the preparation itself, and all bottles remaining in the hands of dealers, wrapped under the name of Parkers Ginger Tonic, contain the genuine medicine if the facsimile signature of Hiscox & Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper. A Baby Adopted By a Bear. The Oxford (Idaho) Enterprise says f-iat an eighteen month old baby of James Vaugn, of Gentile Valley, was playing around with its mother, who was engaged close by the dwelling in doing her washing. At last she missed the baby and, a search for it proved unavailing. Some of the neighbors discovered immense tracks of a bear, and followed the trail un til dark. At day break it was taken up and followed into the bear regions of the mountains, and about 10 o'clock a. m. they found the baby curled up in a bunch of vreeds and grass in the bushes, sound asleep with its little tattered and torn dress thrown over its head, while close be side the sleeping child was the warm bed of what must have been a very large bear, which had abandoned its captive n the approach of the men in search. With the exception of a slight ' scratch upon one foot, the child was uninjured ; though it had been carried several miles into the mountains over rough places and through brush. Adults are subject to worms as well as children ; therefore, how im portant it is that the system should be cleansed of these vile pests.
