“T am free to confess that a trial of Ayer’s Hair Vigor has convinced me that it is a genuine article. Its use has not only caused the hair of my wife and daughter to be

THE FAIR GOD.

CHAPTER XIIL. ( Continued. )

The king watched the holy man until he dis- appeared in the crowded passage; then a deadly paleness overspread his face, and he sunk almost to the platform. The nobles rushed around, and bore him to his palanguin, their brave souls astonished that the warrior and priest and mighty monarch could be so over- come. They carried him to his palace, and left him to a solitude full of .unkingly super- stitions,

Guatamozin, serene amid the confusion, called the tamanes and ordered the old Othmi and the dead removed. The Tezcucan still breathed.

‘**The reviler of the gods shall be cared for,” ha said to himself, ‘‘If he lives, their justice will convict him.”

Before the setting of the sun, the structure in the tianguez was taken down and restored to the temples, never again to be used. Yet the market-place remained deserted and vacant; the whole city seemed plague-stricken.

Aud the common terror was not without cause, any more than Mualox was without in- spiration. That night the ships of Cortes, eleven in number, and freighted with the ma- terials of conquest, from the east of Yucatan, came sweeping down the bay of Campeachy. Next morning they sailed up the Rio de Tabasco, beautiful with its pure water and its banks fringed with mangroves. ‘Tecetl had described the fleet, the sails of which from afar looked like clouds, while they did, in- deed, whiten the sea.

Next evening a courier sped hotly over the causeway and up the street, stopping at the gate of the royal palace. He was taken be- tore the king, and shortly after, it went flying over the city how Quetzal had arrived, in canoes larger than temples, wafted by clouds, and full of thunder and lightning. Then sank the monarch’s heart; and, though the Spaniard knew it not, his marvellous conquest was half completed before his iron shoe smote the shore of San Juan de Ulloa.

BOOK TWO. CHAPTEB IL. WHO ARE THE STRANGERS?

March passed and April came, and still the strangers, in their great canoes, lingered on the coast. Montezuma observed them with becoming prudence; through his look-outs he was informed of their pregress ;from the time they left the Rio de Tobasco,

The constant anxiety to which he was sub- jected affected his temper; and, though roused from the torpor into which he had been plunged by the visit to the go!den chamber, and the subsequent prophecy of Mualox, his melancholy was a thing of common observa- tion. He renounced his ordinary amusements even totologue, and went no more to the hunt- ing grounds on the shore of the lake; in pre- ference, the took long walks in the gardens, and reciiwed ia-the audience-chamber of his palace; yet more remarkable, conversatiory with his councillors and nobles delighted him more than the dances of his women or the songs of his minstrels. In truth, the monarch was himself a victim of the delusions he had perfected for his people. Polytheism had come to him with the Empire ; but he enlarg- ed upon it, and covered it with dogmas ; and so earnestly, through a long and glorious reign, had he preached them, that, at last, he had become his own most zealous convert. In all his dominions, there was not one whom faith more inclined to absolute fear of Quetzal’ than himself.

Une evening he passed from his bath to the dining-hail for the last meal of the day. In- vigorated, and, as was his custom, attired for the fourth time since morning in fresh gar- ments, he walked briskly, and evendroned a song.

No monarch in Europe fared more sumpt- uous!y than Montezuma. The room devoted to the purpose was spacious, and, on this occasion, brilliantly lighted. The floor was spread with figured matting, and the walls hung with beautiful tapestry; and in the | centre of the apartment a luxurious couch | had been rolled for him, it being his habit to eat reclining ; while, to hide him from the curious, a screen had been contrived, and set up between the couch and principal door, The viands set down by his steward as the} substantials of the first course were arranged | upon the floor before the couch, and kept) warm and smoking by chafing-dishes. The} table, if such it may be called, was supplied | by contributions from the provinces, and fur- |

nished, in fact, no contemptible proof of his}

authority, and the perfection with which it was exercised. The ware was of the finest | Cholulan manufacture, and, like his clothes, | never used by him but the once, a royal cus-) tom requiring him to present it to his triends. |

When he entered the ing I have mentioned, there were present only his steward, four or five aged councillors, with whom he was accustomed to address as ‘‘uncles,” and a couple of women, who occu- pied themselves in preparing certain wafers and confections which he particulary atfected. He stretched himself comfortably upon the couch, much, I presume, after the style of the Romans, and at once began the meal. The ancients moved back several! steps, and a score of boys, noble, yet clad in the inevitable nequen, responding to a bell came in and post- ed themselves to answer his requests.

Sometimes, by invitation, the councillors were permitted to share the feast; oftener, however, the only object of their presence was to afford him the gratifi- cation of remark. The conversation was usually irregular, and hushed and renewed as he prompted, and not unfrequently ex- tended to the gravest political and religious subject. On the evening in question he spoke to them kindly.

‘«] feel better this evening, uncles. My good star is rising above the mists that have clouded it. We ought not to complain of what we cannot help; still, I have thought that when the gods retained the power to afflict us with sorrows, they should have given us some power to corret them.” “ail

One of the old men answered reverentially, “A king should be too great for sorrows; he should wear his crown against them as we wear our mantles against the cold winds.”

‘*A good idea,” said the monarch, smiling ; ‘but you forget that the crown, instead of protecting, is itself the trouble, Come nearer, uncles ; there is a matter mere serious about which I would hear your minds.”

They obeyed him, and he went on.

‘* The last courier brought me word that the strangers were yet on the coast, hove: ing about the islands. Tell me, who say you they

are, and whence do they come?”

Ssieesnentbsissineasieeadinencees soe -oaeeeeeeee

‘* How may we know more than our’ wise master ?” said one of them.

‘*And our thoughts—do we not borrow them from you, O king?” added another. —

* What! Call you those answers? Nay, uncles, my fools can better serve me; if they cannot instruct, they can at least amuse,”

The king spoke bitterly, and looking at one, probably the oldest of them all, said:

“*Uncle, you are the poorest courtier, but you are discreet and honest. I want opinions that have in them more wisdom than flattery. Speak to me truly: who are these strangers ?”

**For your sake, O my good king, I wish I were wise; for the trouble they have given my pose understanding is indeed very great. I lieve them to be gods, landed from the Sun.” And the old man went on to fortify his belief with arguments. In the excited state of his fancy, it was easy for him to con- vert the cannon of the Spaniards into engines of thunder and lightning, and transform their horses into creatures of Mictlan, mightier than men. Right summarily he also conciud- ed that none bat gods could traverse the do- minions of Haloc, (god of the sea), subjecting tne variant winds to their will. Finaily, to prove the strangers irresistible, he referred to the battle of Tabasco, then lately fought be- tween Cortes and the Indians.

Montezuma heard him in silence, and re- plied, ‘‘ Not badly given, uncle; your friends may profit by your example; but you have not talked as a warrior. You have forgotten that we, too, have beaten the lazy Tabascans. That reference proves as much for my caciques as for your gods.”

Words Not to Use.

The following, which we clip from the Chicago Mail, condenses into small com- pass a large number of solecisms, most of which are in too common use amongst ourselves. One ortwoof the condemned expressions may, perhaps, be defended on the ground of good usage, viz: ‘‘ I had rather” is found in King James’ translation of the Bible, in Shakespeare, etc, ‘* as soon,” in the sense of *‘ aslief,” is used by Addison and others. But even these are connemned by most authorities and probably bythe best modern usage, while the great majority of the expressions taboo- ed are indefensible. Would it be unchari- table to hint that the teacher may, in some cases, find himself committed, if he at- tempts the reform indicated, to « double task, first that of connecting his own speech, secondly, that of his pupils ?

room, the even-! mone

Dr. Wm. F. Hutchinson, says in The Ameri- can Mayazine for November ;

Proper clothing for November includes soft, firm woolen texturhs near the skin. If some of the various varieties of winter wear can- not be obtained, a good substitute may be found in vests and pants made of pure flannel. Looseness of fit is essential ; for in such pliable folds as these garments are forced by pressure of outer garb, body heat is entangled as in a net and retained, while outside cold is barred entrance. My patients often say tome, ‘‘Doc- tor, I cannot bear wool next my skin. It causes intolerable itching and is uncomfort- able.” ‘* Very well,” is the answer ‘‘but try it just for twenty-four hours longer; and ‘if you are still restless you may change.” Inside the given time, cutaneous nerves have been accustomed to the new-comer, and have welcomed him as a far better friend than the one set aside ; and in a week the most delicate patient would not change back at all.

teside additional “warmth, there is an elec- trical action aroused by the friction of wool against human “skin that promotes capillary circulation, keeps skin functions going, end largely contributes to general health in that singular way which I have named for want of better term, vitalizing power. For electricity is close kin to life ; how near, no one can tell.
