WanneN LELAN

whom everybody knows as the successful manager of the

Large st Hotel Enterp prises

of Amer Says t while a passenger from New York Oh n'a’? attatthe inens id Cape Horn, in the éarly days cf emigration to Cal- iiornia, he learned that one of the officers of the vessel had cured himself, during the voy- re use of

age, of an obstinate disease by tl

Ayer's Sarsap arilla,

Since then Mr. Lr D - recommended AYVER’S SARSAPARI! in many similar cases, and he has nev yet heard of iis fail- ure to effect a radical cure

Some years ago one of Mr. wELaND’s farm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad

state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb., Hor-

rible itching of the skin, with burning and darting paivs through the lump, made life alinost intolerable. The leg became enor-

ulcers formed, extremely was of aay

mously enlarged, aud running discharging great quantities of offensive matter, No treatment avail. mmtil the man, by Mr,, LELAN»D’s dcirve- tion, was supplied with AYER’s SARSAPA- RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation, healed the sores, removed the swelling, and eompletely restored the limb to use,

Mr, LELAND has personally used

Ayer's Sarsaparilla

for Rheumatism, with entire success ; and, after careful observation, declares that, in his belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to it for the cure of Liver Disorders, Gout, the effects of high living, Salt Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all the various forms of blood diseases,

We have Mr, LELAND’s permission to invite all whe may desire further evidence in regard te the extraordinary curative powers of AYER’s SARSAPARILLA to see him person- ally either at his mammoth Ocean Ho.vl, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel, Eroadway, 27th and 28th Streets, New York.

Mr. LELAND’S extensive knowledge of the good done by this unequalled eradicator cf blood poisongenables him to give inquirers much valuabie information,

A CHRISTMAS STOBY.

_—_—- -=—

It was Christmas Eve. | Not one of the ideal Christmes Eves of poets and romance writers, whereio

ne of the ees the moon is always at the full, the snow , Of t is city t is |

always aesparkle like ‘pulverix« d dia- ‘mounds, and the air always still and cold ‘and clear, but a stormy twilight, with

ithe wind raw and biting, and the sky— what you couid see of it—black as ink.

But it was Christmas Eve, all the same, and Bertha Hooper's checks were as red as the bitter-sweet berries in the woods as she sat, all wrapped up, in the train that was steaming vorthward, on her way to spend Christmas with her Aunt Almira Higgins.

Christmas in the country! To Ber- tha, who had lived all her life in the ‘brick walls and stone pavements of a city, the very words seemed to couvey somewhat of cheer and joyousness. | And Bertha, as she sat with her eyes closed and her little gloved hands safely nestled into a gray squirrel muff, beheld in her mind’s eye great fires of logs roaring up wide-throated chimueys, walls festooned with hemlock boughs aud black green tufts of mistletoe; and |she had half composed a poem on Christ- ‘mas and its cherished! associations when the ruthless conductor came along for her ticket.

‘How far are we from Moncourt _ station?’ she inquired, as she gave up the | bit of pasteboard.

‘Next but one, Miss,’ said the man, ‘as he harried on, with his lantern under ‘higarm. ‘ Half an hour yet.’ | She had never been so far from New York io all her life befure. The driving ‘rain in which she had left her home had _changed as they progressed northward ‘into the steady fall of snow, which fiut- tered around them like a white waving ‘shrond. But Bertha Hooper cared little for this. Had not Auot Almira promis- ed to send Zebedee, her youngest son, to the station with the pony to meet her on |the arrival of the six-forty train from |New York? And was pot Zebedee to ‘have a lantern with a red glass door to it, so she could identify him at once?

; She was very pretty as she sat in little black velvet toque, with its curling ‘plume of cardinal red aud the wine-red ribbon bow at her throat--pretty with the bloom and freshness of eighteen. She was dark, with large hazel eyes, almond shaped and iong-lashed, a clear, rosy bloom on either cheek and wavy dark hair hanging iu silken fringes over her broad, low forehead.

_ *Mont—Court—station !’ bawled the _brakesman, putting in a snow-powdered fur Cap, and withdrawing it again as quickly as if he had been a magnified edition of the Jack-in-the-box, which children much rejoice at in holiday ‘time. And Bertha Hooper kaew that ishe had reached her destination. Stiffand cramped from the length of ) ime in which she had been sitting in one position, she rose up, with a steel- clasped travelliog-bag in one hand and a ‘dainty silk umbrella in the other, aud made her way to the door,

| All she could see when she stepped -out upon the wet and slippery platform ;wasablur of driving snow, through | which the lights of the solitary littie country depot gleamed fitfully ; but the next instant somethiag cashed a'thwart her vision like a friend'y red eye—and beneath the reflecior over the station door she saw a tall fine-looking young man, in a fur-trimmed overcoat. a *eal- skin cap set jauutily on cre sideofa .crop of chestnut curls, and a red lighted lantern swingiog from his left hend, as he stood straining his eyes iv the stormy darkness, as if to catch sight of some familiar face in the little crowd.

‘Cousin Zebedee ! cried Bertha, aloud, ‘and she made one spring into the arms ‘of this blonde-whiskered young giant.

For had pot she aud Zebedee played dominces and fox-and-geese together, in ithe days when she wore blue ritboo sashes, and his hair was a closely-shorn |mat of carrety-red ?

' ‘Oh! Cousin Zebedee, I’m so glad to }see you; and I hadn't any idea you had grown half so handsome |’

And she gave him a great hug, at the same time holding up her rosebud lips for a kiss. | But to her infinite amazement, the

hero of the sealskin cap seemed a little | backward A in respoudiog to her cousinly | advances.

‘I—I beg your pardon,’ said he, slight- ly receding, ‘but I’m afraid there is some mistake. My name is not Zebedee, aud the ledy for whom I am looking is some years older than you.’

Bertha Hooper started back coloring and confused, and as she did so, a fat, comfortab!e-lookiog old lady came trundiing along the platform in an lodia shawi and a boa of Russia sable, worth its weight in greenbacks.

‘Charlie!’ she cried, never should find you. here?’

RED- LIGH . | hesitated a second as Bertha aed

;stood with averted face and motionless igure in the shadow of the building,

* Can I be of any service to you?’ he teked. ‘If you are expecting friends who have failed to meet yeu-—’

* Anybody here by the name of Bertha Hoo-ooper?’ shouted a stentorian voice,

and a tall, raw-looking lad with a lan- tern—also lighted with red glass-—

rushed shuffliog around the corner.

Zebedee himself] red-haired and shambling and awkward as he had been in the old fox-and-veese days,

* Oh!’ said be, catching up bis lantern so that the scarlet bird's wings flashed out like a spit of flame—scarcely more searlei, alas, than Bertha’s ewn face. * Here you be! 1’m a little late, for the roads is so all-fired bad, and I couldn’t siart the pony out of a walk. Come con. low de do? Be you very cold?

‘Zebedee,’ said Bertha, clinging al- most hysterica'ly to her cousin's arm, ‘ who's that other gentleman with—with the other lantern ?’

‘Eh! said Zebedee. ‘That felier with the oa lady in a patchwork shawl?’

‘ es,’

‘Iv’s Charley Harcourt, the squire’s son, said Zebedee. ‘* Just come from furrin parts !’

* Zebedee,’ said Bertha, with a curious little sound between a laugh and a sob,

‘put me into the cutter, quick, and drive me somewhere. I dont care where. Because—

‘Eh !’ said Zebedee, ‘staring bard at his cousin, as he packed the buffalo robe sround her before touching up the lag- gard old pony.

‘ Because,’ added Bertha, ina species of desperation, ‘1 took Mr. Harcourt fo: you ; aod I bugged him and kissed him.’

‘Is that all?’ said philosophical Zebe- dee. *He won't care.’

‘No,’ said Bertha, ‘ but I shall.’

‘ You ain’t crying, be you?’ said Zebe- dee, noting the quiver in his cousin's voice,

‘How can | help it? wailed poor Bertha.

*Twarn’t vo fault o’ yourn,’ said Zebe- dee, consolingly.

‘Of course it warn’t,’ said Bertha, im- patiently. ‘How was I to kvow that every lantern at Monteourt hada red glass door to it’

And poor little Bertha cried herself to sleep that night.

The next morning—Christmas Day, all soowed up into glorious drifts every- where—Mr. Harcourt drove over to the Higgivs farm-house. The young lady had dropped a fur glove on the platform, and Mr. Harcourt fet it his duty to restore it to her. And, moreover—here Mr. Charley Harcourt hesitated a little —hs hoped Miss Hooper would excuse him for beivg so stupid es to aijlow her to fancy him her cousin,

‘I ought to have explained sooner,’ said he.

‘No, you ought not,’ ‘The fault was «Jl mine,’

‘I don’t recognize a fault asywhere,’ said he. And if | am pardoned —’

‘Of course you are!’ said Bertha, rosiqpand pretiicrthan ever.

‘In that case I am ov mmissioned by my mother to ask your aunt’s permission to take you over to help us finish drees- iog the church iv time for moruing ser- vice. My horse is waiting.’

‘May I go, Aunt Almira?’ seid Boriba with sparkling eyes.

‘Qi course you may, go,’ Almira.

What was the end ot it ail? There is but one sequel to stories like this when youth and bright eyes and human hearts are concerued. The next Christmas eve Bertha Hooper and Charley Harcourt were married. But the bridegroom per- sists in declariig that Bertha did the first of the loveemaking,

And Berth only laughs,

Some interesting experiments have re- cently been made in Frenes, leoking to the establishment of the exact relations be- tween waterand the growth of plants. It is well known, in a general way, ‘hat too much water or too littl water is upfavor- able to vegetable growth, A Mr. Hellreigel took charge of the experimeats, which have recently been commented on by the well-known M. Duchartre. Wheat, rye and oata were sown under equal conditi ‘one, and water supplied artificially, Taking 100 as the saturation point, the first set received 8), the second 60, the third 40, the fourth 30. the fifrh 20, the sixth 10, and the seventh 5. Taking what should be a full crop at 100, the first yielded 19,6, the second 227, the third 217, the fourth 17.1, fifth 14 6, sixth 6 3, seventh 0.1. It would seem from this that an over supply of water is lees injurious than » short sup- ply. But no notice is taken by Duchartre of the fact well known to Americen cultur- iets, that it is not so much the amount of moisture as it is the repidity of its passage through the soil that affects vegetation. Water to the saturation point is found to do little injury in -rell-drained soil ; though i in badly-drained ones, .50 would be injurious. The figures would vary with these circumstances.
