A MARVELOUS STORY

TOLD IN TWO LETTERS.

FROM THE SON: “2s St de"

York, Oct. 28, 1882.

“‘ Gentlemen: My father resides at Glover, Vt. He has been a great sufferer from Serof- ula, and the inclosed letter will tell you what a marvelous effect

Ayer's Sarsaparilla

has had in bis case. I think his blood must have contained the humor for at least ten years; but it did not show, except in the form of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about five years ago. From 4 few spots which ap peared at that time, it gradualiy spread so as to cover his entire body. I assure you he was terribly affieted, and an object of pity, when he began using your medicine. Now, there are few men of his age who enjoy as good health as he has. I could sasily name fifty persons who would testify to the facts in his case. Yours truly, W. M. PHILLIPS.”

FROM THE FATHER: trearure ana

pleasure and a duty for me to state to you the benefit I have derived from the use of

Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

Six months ago 1 was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores, ‘The humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause the blood to flow in many places whenever . I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a barden. 1 commenced the use of the SARSAPARILLA in April last, and have used it regularly since that time, My condition began to improve at once. The sores have all healed, and f feel perfectly well in every respect — being now able to do a good day’s work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire what has wronght such a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, AYER’s SARSAPARILLA. Glover, Vt., Oct. 21, 1882. Yours gratefully, HiRAM PHILLIPS.”

AYER’s SARSAPARILLA cures Scrofula and all Scrofulous Complaints, Zrysip- elas, Eczema, Ringworm, Blotches, Sores, Boils, Tamors,‘and Eruptions of the Skin. It clears the blood of all impu- rities, aids digestion, stimulates the action of the bowels, and thus restores vitaiity and strengthens the whole system.

CHAPTER XXV. THE GAMES,

Tue great dance was not to begin until eight o'clock ; but for any lads and lasses who liked to dance on the shady grass before then, there was music always at hand ; for was not the band of the Benefit Club capable of playing excellent jigs, reels, and hornpives? And besides this, there ‘was a grand band hired from Rosseter, who, with their wonderful wind-instra- ments and puffed-out cheeks, were them- selves a delightful show to small boys and girls. To say nothing of Joshua Rann’s fiddle, which, by an act of generous fore- thought, he had provided himself with, in case any one should be of sufficiently pure taste to prefer dancing to a solo on that iostrument. | Meantime, when the sun had moved off _the great open space in front of the house, ‘the game began. There were, of course, well-soaped poles to be climbed by the boys and youths, races to be run by the old _women, races to be run in sacks, heavy | weight to be lifted by the strong men, and a long list of challenges to such ambitious attempts as that of walking as many yards as possible on one leg—feats in which it was generally remarked that Wiry Ben, being i‘the lissom’st, springest fellow i’ the country,’ was sure tobe pre-eminent. To crown all, there was tobe a donkey-race— that sublimest of all races, conducted on the grand socialistic idea of every body en- couraging every body else’s donkey, and the sorriest donkey winning. And soon after four o'clock, splendid Mra. [rwine, in her damask satin and jewels ‘and black lace, was led out by Arthur,

OFFICE ” AT DR. JENKINS, | lean, finely-scented, withered old man, led

out Miss Irwine, with his air of punctilious, acid politeness; Mr. Gawaine brought Miss Lydia, looking neutral and stiff in an elegant peach-blossom silk; and Mr. Irwine can.e last with his pale sister Anne. No other friend of the family, except Mr. Ga- waine, was invited to-day; there was to be a grand dinner for the neighboring gentry on the morrow, but to-day all the forces were required for the entertainment of the

. tananta,

There was a sunk fence in front of the marquee, dividing the lawn from the park, but a temporary bridge had been made for the passage of the visiters, and the groups of people standing or seated here and there on benches, stretched on each side of the open space from the white marquees up to the sunk fence.

‘Upon my word it’s a pretty sight,’ said the old lady, in her deep voice, when she was seated, and looking around on the bright scene with its dark-green back- ground; ‘and it’s the last fete day I’m like- ly tosee, unless yon make haste and get married, Arthur. But take care you get a charming bride, else I would rather die without seeing her.’

‘You are so terribly fastidious, god- mother,’ said Arthur, ‘I’m afraid I should never satisfy you with my choice.’

‘Well, I won’t forgive you if she’s not handsome. I can’t be put off with amiability, which is always the excuse people are making. for the ex- istence of plain people. And she must not be silly ; that will never do, becarse you'll want meer: and a silly woman can’t manage you. ‘ho is that tall young man, Dauphin, with the mild face! There— standing without his hat, and taking such care of that old woman by the side of him —his mother, of course, I like to see that.’ ‘What, don’t you know bim, mother ? said Mr. Irwine. ‘That is Seth Bede, Adam’s brother—-a Methodist, but a very good fellow. Poor Seth has looked rather down-hearted of late; I thought it was because of his father’s dying in that sad way ; but Joshua Ravn tells me he wanted to marry that sweet little Methodist preacher who was here about a month ago, and I suppose she refused him.’

‘Ah! | remember hearing about her; but there are no end of people here that L don’t know, for they're grown up and altered so since I used to go about.’

‘ What excellent sight you have !’ said old Mr, Donnithorne, who was holding a double glass up to his eyes, ‘to see the ex- pression of that young man’s face so far off. His face is nothing but a pale blurred spot to me, But I fancy I have the ad- vantage of you when it comes to look close. 1 can reed small print without spectacles.’

‘Ah! my dear sir, you began with being very near-sighted, and those near-sighted eyes always wear the best. I want very strong spectacles to read with, but then I think my eyes get better and better for things at a distance. I suppose if I couid live another fifty years, I should be blind to everything that wasn’t out of other people’s sight like aman who stands in a well, and sees nothing but the stars.’

‘See,’ said Arthur, ‘the cld women are ready to set out on their race now. Which do ycu bet on, Gawaine |’

‘The long-legged one, unless they are going to have several heats, and then the little wiry one may win.’

‘There are the Poysers, mother, not far off on the right hand,’ said Mrs. Irwine. ‘Mrs. Poyser is looking at you. Do take notice of her.

‘To be sure I will,’ said the old lady, giv- ing a gracious blow to Mrs. Poyser. ‘A woman who sends me such excellent cream cheese is not to be ted. Bless me ! what a iat child that is she is holding on

‘her knee ! But who is that pretty girl with

dark eyes ?’ : ‘That is Hetty Sorrel,’ said Miss Lydia

Donuithorne,’ Martin Poyser’s niece—a

,very likely young person, and well-looking ;too. My maid has taught her fine needle- work, aud she has mended some lace of mine very respectably indeed— very re- spectably.’

‘Why, she has lived with the Poyser’s six

,or seven years, mother; you must have seen her,’ exid Miss Irwine. ' ‘No, I’ve never seen her, child; at least, jnotas she is now,’ said Mrs. Irwine, con- tinuing to look at Hetty. ‘Well-looking, indeed ! she’s a perfect beauty' I've never seen anything so pretty since my young days. What a pity such beauty as that should be thrown away among the farmers, when it’s wanted so terribly among the good families without fortune ! I dare say, now, she’ll marry a man who'd have thought her just as pretty ii-vshe had had round eyes and red hair’

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

+»

** The lowert genius may afford some light, Or give a hint which had escaped your sight.”

£in,—After reading Murdoch's report on the water supply, and hearing all that has been said on the subject, to satisfy my own mind I put the report in the hands of a gentleman resident in Lot 34, and asked his opinion of the quality of the water in Winter River. His answer I here give, promising that I know him from boyhood, and can depend on him as a thorcughly honest, truthful and unprejudiced man :

‘* Dear Friend,—You say in your note, ‘I anticipate the water of Winter River will be unfit for drinking or for cooking.’ This is your opinion, You ask mine, Before I give an opinion let us look at the report, page 32: ‘The water of this river is clear and soft, and pleasant to the taste, and appears to all the essential elements of a water well fitted by nature for domestic purposes.’ Page 113, Appen- dix D, says" ‘The water marked (a) was taken from the head of Winter River, six miles from town.’ Why did they not send a little of the water four miles from the head of the River. The head of the River is a spring, and if water is pure at the fountain head, that ‘is no proof that the water will be pure four miles from its source. It appears that Winter River water is purer than Spring Park water, or water from a pump near the Post Office. ina word, the analysis of Prof. Hayes don’t prove that Winter River water is good for domestic purposes. On page 14 of the report I read ; ‘The impurities which water derives from the earth depecd. on the geological character of the svilpover which it passes, or the strata through which it permeates in its progress downwards.’ Notwithstanding Mr. Murdoch’s opinion, and Professor Hayes’ analysis, I think any person acquainted with the land through which the river passes on its passage to the sea, is capable of giving an opinion of the purity cr impurity of the water. Hence I shall venture an opinion : ‘Good, waier is tasteless, Winter River water is mot taste- less. I aspeak from experience. tastes a little boggy.’ Page 37, Murdoch says : ‘In addition to the reservoir at Cobbs’ by placing a dam at Matheson’s mill site,about 20 feet high, this would raise the stream upwards to 86 feet, ard give the whole

drainage area, 5,000 acres, for a collecting ground. Now remember there is about five. or six hun-

dred acres of swamp, avd the river passes through this swampy land. This swamy forms part of the 5,000 ecres of drainage. Where is purity now? This swamp has a growth of fir and sprace upon it, with here and there a poplar. and a white birch; hence there must be every year a de- caying of vegetable matter going on. Where does it go? Why, into the river, ot course. Then there is animal matter. I suppose frogs and toads are animals. Well. in this swamp you will find them by hundreds, perhaps thousands, and there they live and spawn and die, unless a charitable crow should happen to carrya few of them «ff during the summer months. One part of the swamp is called ‘frog bog.’ No dovbt the remains of bears, foxes and wild cats are to be found there ; also, what- ever of animal matter is in that swamp must find its way into the River. If the country is to be drained 5,000 acres in ex- tent, whatever impurity exists will find an outlet somewhere. The gaseous pert, I suppose, will find its way to the air, at the solid, in course of time, will find its way to the River, making both impure. Swamp-water is not good for man or beast. After the spring thaws are ever, you will find the swamps full and running over. What remains is stagnant during the sum- mer, and the smell in passing by on a hot day isanything but agreeable to the olfac- tory nerves; and it there happen to be a little pond formed in the swamp, you will find it in spawning time, covered with frog and toad spawn and full of tadpoles. In fact, a swamp is a filthy place—a very hot- bed of impurity. 1 think 1 have said enough to convince you that I have very little faith in Winter-River water for domestic purposes.”

I hen not copied the whole of my friend’s letter, but encugh; and would now say to the advocates of waterworks, go ahead ; give us the frog and toad spawn, and the tadpoles; uo doubt we, our wives, our sons, daughters and little ones will grow fat on ii.

Yours, Cirizen,

P.S.—I am permitted to say James Cur*is, Esq,, from his knowledge of Lot 33 and 34, will endorse the statements of my correspondent, respecting Winter River and the swamp. C,
