Blood Diseases are cured by the persevering use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

This medicine is an Alterative, and canses a radical change in the system. | The process, in some cases, may not be | quite so rapid as in others; but, with ' persistence, the result is certain. | Read these testimonials : — ‘For two years U suffered from a se- vere pain in my right side, and had other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a cure, I began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I was greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking five bottles I was com- letely cured.”—John W, Benson, 70 awrence st., Lowell, Mass.

Last May a large carbuncle broke out onmyarm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eight weeks, A friend induced me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Less than three bottles healed the sore. In all my expe- rience with medicine, I never saw more

Wonderful Results. .

| Another marked effect of the use of this ; medicine was the strengthening of my | sight.’""— Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs, Texas. j “T had a dry scaly humor for years, i and suffered terribly ; and, as my broth- | er and sister were similariy afflicted, [ '* presume the malady is hereditary. Last

* winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. i For five months [ took it daily. I have [ not had a blemish upon my body for the | last three months.” —T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers st., New York City.

** Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. [ did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. Duriug the latter part of this time, disorders of the stom- ach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely cured.’’— Mrs. Augusta A.

CHAPTER 1.

OCR MOTHER HAS A FORTUNE WAITING US YONDER.

The Spanish calender is simpler thax the Aztecan. In fact, Christian methods of what- ever nature, are better thau heathen.

So, then, by the Spanish Calendar, March, 1519, had about half spent itself in the valley of Anahuac, which was yet untrodden by gold-seeker, with cross-hilted sword at his side, and on his lips a Catholic oath. Near noon of one of fts fairest days, a traveller came descending the western slope ot the Sierra de Ahualco. Since the dawn his path had beem amongst hills and crags; at times traversing bald rocks that towered to where the winds blew chili, thén dipping into warm valleys, where were grass, flowers and stream. lets, and sometimes toreste of cedar and fir— labyrinths in which there reigaed a perpe tual twilight.

Toilsome as was the way, the traveller, young and strong, marched lightly. His dress, of the kind prevalent in his country, Was provincial, and with few signs of rank, He had sandals of buffalo-hide, fitted for climbing rocks and threading pathless woods ; a sort of white tunic, covering his body from the neck to the knees, leaving bire the arms from the shoulder ; mazlatl and tilmatli -sash and mantle—of cotton, blue tinted, and void of ornament ; on the wrist of his left arm he wore a substantial goiden brac-let, and in both ears jewelied pendants ; while an ebony band, encireling his head, kept his straight black locks iu place, and permitted a snow- white bird’s-wing for decoration. There was @ shield on his left arm, framed of wood, and covered with padded cloth, and in the left band a javeiin barbed with ‘itzli; at his back swung a maquahuitl, and a quiver filed with arrows; an unst-ung. bow in his right hand compieted his equip- ments, and served him in lieu of staff. An ocelot, trudging stealthily behind him was his sole companion.

In the course of his journey he came toa crag that sank bluffly down several hundred feet, commanding a fine prospect. Though the air was cold, he halted. Away to the north-west stretched the beautiful valley of Anahuac, dotted with hamlet; .nd farm houses, and marked with the. silver tacery of streams, Far across the plain he caught a view of the fresh waters of Lake Chalco, and beyond that, blue in the distance and faintly relieved against the sky, the royal hill of Chapultepec, with its palaces and cypress for. rests. Inallthe New World there was no scene comparable with that he looked upon— none ite rival for beauty, none where the heavens seemed 80 perfectly melted into earth. There were the most renowned cities of the Empire; from that plain went the armies whose marches were all triumphs; in that air hovered the gods awaiting sacrifices; into that sky rose the smoke of the inextinguishable fires; here shone the brightest suns and ling- ered the longest summers; aud youder dweit that king—in youth a priest, then a warrior, now the terror of all natious—whose signet on the hand of a slave could fii] the land with rustling of banners.

No traveller, | ween, could look unmoved on the picture; ours sat down, and gazeu with brimful eyes and a beating heart. For the first time he was beholding the match- less vale so overhung with loveliness and full of the monuments of a strange civilization. So rapt was he that he did nut observe the ocelot come and lay its head on his Jap, like a dog seeking caresses. **Come, boy !” he said, at last rousing him- self; ‘‘let uson. Our Mother (the goddess Cioacoati, called ‘Our Lady and Mother.’) has a fortune waiting us yonder.”

And they resumed the journey. Halt an hour’s brisk walk brought them to the foot of the mountain. Suddenly they came upon

Charlottetown or any Station on the P. E, Island | company.

lt was on the bank of a considerable stream, which, pouring in noisy torrent over a rocky bed, appeared to rush with a song forward into the valley. A ciump of giant oaks shaded a level sward. Uuader them a crowd of tamanes (Carrier slaves cr porters) tawny, half-ciad, broad-shouldered men, devoured ioaves of cold maize bread. Near the roots of the trees their masters reclined comfortably on petates or mats, without which an Aztec trader's out- fit was incomplete. Qur traveiler understood at a glance the character of the strangers; so that, as his road led directly to them, he went on without hesitation. As he came near, some of them sat up to observe him.

** A warrior going to the city,” said one,

“* Or rather a king's courier,” suggested an- other.

‘* Is that not an ocelot at his heels ?” asked a third.

‘* That itis. Bring me my javelin !”

** And mine! And mine!” cried several of them at once, all springing to their feet.

By the time the young min came vp, the whole party stood ready tu give bim an armed welcome.

‘* Tam very sorry to have disturbed you,” he said quietly, finding himseit obliged to stop.

+ You seem friendly enough,” answered one of the older men; ‘‘ but your comrade there— what of him?”

The traveller smiled. ‘* See, he is muz- zled.”

The party laughed at their own fears. The old merchant, however, stepped forward to the young stranger.

**T confess you have greatly relieved me. I feared the brute might set on and wound somebo 'y. Come up aod sit down with us.”

The traveller was nowise disinclined, being

tempted by the prospect of cheer from the;

provision baskets lying around. : ‘*Briug a mat for the warrior,” said the

-

understand you. You have served some freg}- trading company like our own.”

‘You are shrewd. My father is a mer- chant. At times he has travelled with strong trains, and even at- tacked cities that have refused him admission to their market.”

**Indeed! He must be of renown. In what province dees he live, my son ¥”

** Tu Tihuanco.”

** Tepaja! old Tepajo, of Tihuanco! Are you son of his?” The good maa grasped the young one’s hand enthusiastically. ‘* 1 knew him well; any years ago we were as brothers together; we travelled and traded through many provinces. That was the day of the elder Montezuma, when the Empire was not as large as now; when, in fact, most gates were closed against us, because our king was an Aztec. and we had to storm a town, then turn its square into a market for our wares, Sometimes we marched an army, each of us carrying a thousand slaves; and yet our tasks were not always easy. I remember once, down on the bank of the Great River we were beaten back from a walled town, and succeeded only after a four day's fight. Ah, but we made it win! We led three ti onsand slaves back to Tenochtitlan, besides five hup- dr d captives—a present for the gods.”

so the merchant talked until the hunger of his new acqaintance was appeased; then he offered a pipe, which was deciined.

**Lam fond of a pipe after a good meal ; and this one has been worthy aking. But now Ihave no leisure for the luxury; the city to which I am bound is too far ahead of me.

“Tf it is your first visit you are right. Fail not to be there before the market closes. Such a sight never laddeved your dreams !”

**So I have heard my father say.”

“O, it never was asit will be to-night. The roads fur days have been thronged with visitors going up in processions,”

** What is the occasion ?”

‘““Why, to-morfuw is the celebration of Quetzel’! Certainly, my son, you have heard the prophecies concerning that god ”

‘In rumors only. I believe he was to return to Anahuac.”

** Well, the stury is long, and you are in a hurry. We also are guing to the city, but will halt our slaves at Iz apatapan for the night, and cross the causeway before the sun to-morrow. If you care to keep us company, we will start at once; onthe way I will tell you a tew things that may not be unaccept- able.”

‘**] see,” said the hunter, pleasantly; ‘1 have reason to be proud of my father’s good reput. Certainly I will goa distance with you at least, and thank you for information. To speak frankly, Iam seeking my fortune.”™

The merchant spoke to his companions. and raising a huge conch-shell to his mouth, blew a blast that started every slave to his feet. For a few moments all was commotion. The mats were rolled up, and, with the provi- sion-baskets, slung upon broad shoulders; tamane resumed his load of wares, and tovk his place; those armed put themselves with their masters at the head, and at another peal from the shellall set forward. The col- umn, if such it may be called, was long; and not without a certain picturesqueness, as it crossed the stream, and entered a tract cov- ered with tall trees, amongst which the paim was strangely intermingled with the oak and the cypress. The whole valley, from the lake to the mountains, was irrigated, and under cultivation. Full of wonder, the hunter marched beside the merchant.

Principal Grant's Views.

A representative of the Register, of Adelaide, Australia, called on Dr. Grant while he was there and had a lengthy in- terview with him, He was found to be a strong believer in the benefits that would flow from closer commercial relations be- tween Australia and Canada. He pointed out that there is a large opening for wool, wine and some other ; roducts, while Canada could send us fish in various forms, lumber and even some descriptions of agricultural implements. He is also a warm advocate of the cable between Vancouver's Island and Australia. He speaks disapprovingly of everything in the shape of prohibitory legislation in regard to the sale of liquor, and declares that such legislation, where it has been introduced, has seriously damag- ed the temperance cause in provoking op- position. At the same time he bears testi- mony to the fect that the Canadians are very sober people. He cordially favors the maintenance of the Imperial connec- tion, and is of opinion that Canada has no disposition to break away from the union to amalgamate with the United States. At the same time he supports the idea recent- ly broached of authoriz:ns Canada and other groups of the colonies to enter into special trade arrangements with particular coun- tries.

FataLity Burxep.—At Arygle Sound, on the 13th inst.. Margaret L , aged 8 years, daughter of Robert and Melinda Nickerson, put some wood in the fire in the cooking stove, and while reaching over the blaze for the cover her clothes caught fire. Her mother being absent, her little brother, younger than herself, ran for aid to the nearest neighbor, who, on arriving, found her clothing entirely consumed, She lived about five hours in great agony, when death came to her relief.— Yar- mouth Herald.

It was once supp sed that scrofula could not be eradicated from the system; but the marvelous results poduced by the use of Ayer’s Sarsapariila disproves this theory. The reason is, this medicine is the most powerful bluod purifier ever discovered.
