mY ANNETEE L. NOBLE.

easel .

Her name was Evelyn Hopkins. As a child she grew around and away from, instead of into, the habits of nice liitle girls; no one perceiving the cir- euit until it was described. In lieu of sewing big earnest stitches into South Sea Island patchwork with a number six thimble, Evelyn sat whistling on the back fence. Being bashful, she eschewed schools, and so spelled in a singularly abominable way all the days of her life. Nevertheless, from the treasures of old garrets, from the bor- rowed bibliotheke of the eook, from most unpromising sources everywhere, Evelyn gave herself what she always called a liberal education. Froissart,

- Jobn Bunyan and the Family Almanac

were taken in sans discrimination but each was well digested. ‘Time rao on and the girl grew tall and comely, with larve white hands, a fine physique, and the grace, strength and naturalness of a pleasing savage. é

Ono day, as sho sat in the barn wav- ing asparagus branches over a sick horse to keep the flies from him, some- hody asked what kind of a wife she would make. The Guy Fawkes who put that question knew it was the match to a succession of explosive queries which, once fired, would shats ter into fragments the girl’s present dwelling of content. The new gun- powder plot succeeded, and what com- motion’ followed! It was discovered that Evelyn could not bake, brew, spin, sew or sweep. She scarcely knew her own clothes but wore other peoples’ with exasperating innocence—always the best clothes te, and she usually tore them. If she discovered her mistake, she would make an atrocious attempt at reparation in the way ofa darn with drazon-teeth stitches. When she

; id tried housework, she choked up sinks, |

or put covered tureens of seup high up on pantry shelves, there to stay until the family tore up the floor in search of deceased rats wanting burial.

_Bvelyn could not shine in the kitchen neither was she brilliant in the parlor. She would be dumb throughout a dis- cussion of the minister’s wife’s bonnet, or the relation of that-which Mrs John Smith told Mrs. Sam Brown ; but was Evelyn good for nothing? Far from itt In fires, funerals, epileptic fits, thunder and lightning, in great emer- gencies of any kind, she did the thing required in the very second when other people recoiled with a shriek. There was once a grand Fourth of July cele- bration in her native town, and the mayor, the militia, the brass band, and Deiaosthenes the Modern, came out of it all covered with glory. The details of the pageantry were§planned.one af- ternioon when Evelyn leaned over the mayor's fence and told him how to do it. She dressed Liberty, made the mar’shal’s badges, and borrowed a can- non, a poet, and a torehlight procession from the nearest village. When the day came, she quietly prompted De- mosthenes when he gasped in anagony of forgetfulness, she took home the little chap who almost blew himself up with gunpowder, she guarded the sol- diers’ dinner from patriotic towns- men ready to devour it prematurely, she sent around a subscription pape for a sick drummer boy; with saga- cious foresight she caused the editors to be serenaded, and then she went horae and slept the sleep of the just— that is, if the just ever wear their mo- thers’ crape shawls and burn them fall of fire cracker holes.

Not far from Evelyn’s home was a stream famous for its fish. Hunters or fishermen often saw her demurely meandering among the reeds there. Small boys had exehanged civilities with her in the shape of flies or angle- worms, and in consequence, certain widows and old maids often dined on fish which Miss Hopkins left at their doors.

CATAR RH,

Constitutional ~ Gatarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy. T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dear Srr—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy ’ was intro- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.”

1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, #876, 1 secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufierers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
