TRAINS FROM THE BAST, Rich and Poor, Prince and Peasant, the Millionaire and Day Laborer, by their common use of this remedy, attest the world-wide rep- utation of Ayer’s Pills. Leading phy- sicians recommend these pills for Stomach and Liver Troubles, Costive- ness, Biliousness, and Sick Headache ; also, for Rheumatism, Jaundice, and Neuralgia. They are sugar-coated ; con- tain no calomel ; are prompt, but mild, in operation ; and, therefore, the very best medicine for Family Use, as well as for Travelers and Tourists. “I have derived great relief from Ayer’s Pills. Five years I taken so ill with . ntl. Rheumatism that I was unable to do any work. I took three boxes of Ayer’s Pills and was entirely cured. Since that time I am never without a box of these pills.” Peter Christensen, Sherwood, Wis. “Ayer’s Pills have been in use in my family upwards of twenty years and have completely verified all that is claimed for them. In attacks of piles, from which I suffered many years, they afford greater relief than any other medicine I ever tried.’’—T. F. Adams, Holly Springs, Texas. “T have used Ayer’s Pills for a num- ber of years, and have never found any- thing equal to them for giving me an appetite and imparting energy and strength to the system. I always keep them in the house.’—R. D. Jackson, Wilmington, Del. ‘“‘ Two boxes of Ayer’s Pills cured me of severe Headache, from which I was long a sufferer. — Emma Keyes, Hubbardston, Mass. “Whenever I am troubled with con- stipation, or suffer from loss of appetite, Ayer’s Pills set me right again.”’-—— A.J. Kiser, Jr., Rock House, Va. “‘Ayer’s Pills are in general demand among our customers. Our sales of them exceed those of all other pills com- bined. We have never known them fail to give entire satisfaction.” — Wright & Hannelly, San Diego, Texas. Ayer’s Pills, & PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass.

CHAPTER IV. (Continued. ) He paced the floor to and fro, speaking vehemently. ‘*The ingrate charges me with aspiring to the throne. Judge me, holy gods! Judge how willingly I would lay down my life to keep the crown where itis! He says my palace has been open to men of the army, It was always so—I ama warrior. I have con- sulted them about the Empire, but always as a subject, never for its ill. Such charges I laugh at; but that I sought to slay the king is too horrible for endurance. On the day of the combat, about the time of assemblage, I went tothe Cu of Quetzal’ for blessing. 1 saw no smoke or other sign of fire upon the tower. Mualox was gone, and I trembled lest the fire should be dead. I climbed up, and found only afew living embers. There were no fagots on the roof, nor in the court- yard ; the shrine was abandoned, Mualox old. The desolation appealed to me. The god seemed to claim my service. I broke my)| spear and shield, and flung the fragments | into'the urn, then hastened to the palace, loaded some tamanes with wood, and went back to the Cu. I was not too late there; but, hurrying to the tianguez, 1 found myself almost dishonored. So was I kept from the arena ; that service to the god is now helping my enemy as proof that 1 was waiting on a) housetop to murder my king and kinsman I Alas! I have only slaves to bear wit-| ness to the holy work that kept me on the | temple. Much I fear the gods are making’ the king biind for his ruin and the ruin of us all. He believes the strangers on the coast, are from the Sun, when they are but men. ! Instead of war against them, he is thinking of embassies ani presents. Now, more than ever, he needs the support of friends; but he divides his family against itself, and confers favors on enemies. Isee the danger. Un- friendly gods are moving against us, not in the strangers, butin our own divisions. Re- member the prophecy of Mualox, ‘ The race of Azatlan is ended for ever.’ ” The speaker stopped his walking, and his voice became low and tremulous. ‘* Yet I love him; he has been kind; he gave me command; through his grac ousness I have dwelt unmolested in this palace of my father. I am bound to him by love and law. As he has been my friend, I will be his; when his peril is greatest, 1 will be truest. Nothing butill from him to Anahuac can make me his enemy. So, so—let it pass. 1 trust the future | to the gods.” | Then, as if seeking to rid himself of the bit- ter subject, he turned to Io’. ‘‘ Did not some one come with you” The boy told what he knew of Hualpa. ‘“T take him to be no common fellow; he has some proud ideas. I think you would like him.” **T will try your hunter, Io. And if he is what you say of him, I will accept his ser- vice.” And they went immediately to the ante- chamber, where Hualpa saluted the ‘tzin. The latter surveyed his tine person approving- ly, and said, ‘‘l am told you wish to enter my service. Were you ever in battle?” The hunter told his story with his wonted modesty. ** Well, the chase isa good school for war- riors. lt trains the thews, teaches patience and endurance, and sharpens the spirit’s edge. Let us to the garden. A hand to retain skill must continue its practice; like a good memory, it is the better for exercise. Come, and I will show you how I keep prepared for every emergency of combat.” And so saying, the 'tzin led the visitors out. They went to the garden, followed by the retainers lounging at the door. A short walk brought them to a space surrounded by a copse of orange-trees, strewn with sand, and broad enough for a mock battle ; a few benches about the margin afforded accommodation to spectators; a stone house at the northern end served for armory, and was full of arms and armor. A_ glance assured the visitors that the place had been prepared expressly for training. Some score or more of warriors, in the military livery of the 'tzin already, occupied a portion of the field. Upon his appearance they quitted their games, and closed around him with respectful saluta- tions. ‘How now, my good Chinantlan ?” he said pleasantly. ‘“‘Did 1 not award youa prize yesterday? There are few in the valley who can excel you in launching a spear.” “The plume is mine no longer,” replied! the warrior. ‘‘I was beaten last night. The winner, however, is a countryman.” “A countryman! You Chinantlas seems born to the spear. Where is the man?” The victor stepped forward, and drew up before the master, who regarded his brawny limbs, sinewy neck, and bold eyes with un- disguised admiration; so an artist would re- gard a picture or astatue. Above the fellow’s helm floated a plume of scarlet feathers, the trophy of his superior skill.” ‘*Get your spear,” saidthe ‘tzin. ‘“‘I bring you a competitor.” The spear was brought, an ugly weapon in any hand. The head was of copper, and the shaft sixteen feet long. The rough Chinan- tlan handled it with a loving grip. ‘*Have you such in Tihuanco?” asked Guatamozin. Hualpa balanced the weapon and laughed. ‘*We have only javelins—mere reeds to this. Unless to hold an enemy at bay, I hardly know its use. Certainly, it is not for, casting.” “Set the mark, men. We will give the stranger a leeson, Set it to the farthest throw,” A pine picket was then set up ® hundred feet away, presenting a target of the height and breadth of a man, to which a shield was bolted breast high from the sand. - ‘‘ Now give the Chinantlan 100m ! The wearer of the plume tovk his place ; ad- vancing one foot, he lifted the spear above i j ‘ ; : | | his head with the right hand, poised it a moment, then hurled it from him, and struck the picket a palm’s breadth below the shield. ‘‘Qut, out!” cried the ‘tzin. ** Bring me the spear; I have a mind to wear the plume myself.” (To be continued. ) Unless more care is given to the hair, the coming man is liable to be a hairless animal ; hence, to prevent the bair from falling use Hall's Heir fer. i And news much older than LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. > Moniague’s Solitude. Sirn,—The Patriot's correspondent at Montague, writing to that paper on the 10th inst., remarks :-— ‘* Protection and monopolies have increased the Annexation sentiment among our people. Many persons express the opinion that the Dominion and United States flags will be yet interwoven to form a National Color for the inhabitants of the whole North American Con- tinent, believing that our future peace and prosperity would then be secured and the British Empire released from the oft recurring prospects of a disastrous war.” Again, in the Patriot of the 17th we find the following from the same correspondent : ‘* For the past twenty years the produce shipping trade at this port has never been so depressed as at the present time. At this Season of the year, it was quite a common sight to see from thirty to forty vessels in here for produce ; the wharves were vovered daily from early morn until after dark with the farmers’ teams, ani all was bustle and activity, but for the past few days eur ship- (ping port is almost as silent as the ‘ ruins of Herculeum,’ one solitary small schooner re- presents all our shipping at present. We call the attention of our local representative from New P.rth,ho the present state of affairs, hop- ing he will use his great talents at the next session of Parlia .eut in describing the awful solitariness of our shipping ports, and thereby endeavor to change the opinions of his party on the trade question. His luminous and vivid portrayal of the poor ‘ solitary squaw,’ in connection with the West River ferry, is now historical, and marks him out as the person most eminently adapted for the busi- ness. ‘hese are alarming reports. The ship- pers at Montague looking anxiously to the annexation movement for relief; neighbor- ing farmers desirous and unable to market their produce; the wharves and piers de- serted by their teams; the bustle and ac- tivity of former times departed; but one solitary small schooner remaining to repre- sent the argosies of former years; and the streets of the once prosperous port silent almost as the *‘ ruins of Hercwleum,” the commercial pride of the river lying low in the dust, buried beneath the scoria of pro- tection and monopolies; an awful solitude brooding over the hamlet where, for long decades of prosperous years under succes- sive administrations, — ‘The village statesman talked with looks profound, his ale went round,” No wonder the allegiance of ** many persons” is tottering to its fall. It is rather surprising how the *‘* annexation sentiment,” or any other thought or wish, can exist under such a burden of woes as the Patriot's correspondent attributed to the good people of Montague. Judging from his mournful report, one might con- clude that the river had yawned and swal- lowed down the entire population on its banks, and that only one solitary White man was left standing on ‘‘ nature’s awful waste,” like the ‘‘ last man” in Campbell’s poetic vision. ** Prophet like, With dauntless words on high That shook the sear leaves from the wood, As if a storm passed by.” The parallel may be pushed even further. The poet’s solitary man surrounded by skeletons of nations, earth's soundless cities, and ships drifting with their dead freights to dumb shores; apostrophises the sun, and charges him with a message to prevailing nightly chaos, expressive of his hopes of exemption from oblivion under a changed condition of existence. ‘*The *‘lone man” in the Patriot, from the ‘‘ eclipse ” of trade at Montague, turns in his extremity to the popular representa- tiveof his district at New Perth, and ere the ‘* majesty of darkness receives his parting ghost,” calls his attention to the ** awful solitariness of our shipping ports,” in lan- guage that might bear the following con- struction : **Go tell Protection te its face, Thou sawest a Grit of Wiman’s race, On Gaal’s sepulchral slab. The raging universe defy, To quench his Reciprocity, Or siake his faith in Gab.” Those who are in any way interested in the commercial prosperity of the shippers at Montague, or the social welfare of the farmers in the adjacent settlements, must not be unduly alarmed. The village stands securely in its place, with its shops and schools, churches and private dwellings intact; even the Customs House and Post Office building. with all its officials has sus- stained no serious damage; and although the price of potatoes is lower this fall than last, and the forsaken raven on the hill keeps croaking ‘‘ never more,” neither the villagers nor their cousins from the country appear much disheartened; they all go about their business much the same aa if nothing unusual had occurred. They have as yet no serious intentions of resorting to any desperate political remedy to improve their financial position. The interweaving of a ‘‘ National Color for the inhabitants or the whole North American Continent ” will probably be left to the dupes of soothsayers, who weep through the press in expectation, by and by. of being eble to dry their tears with the public. Onz or THR SURVIVORS. Nov. 30th, 1888. N. B.—Absurd and extravagant as the foregoing paragraphs may bejdeemed by artless free traders who pin their faith to Cartwright’s commercial politics, and who, at the next election, will be expected to raise the cry, ‘*O Richard, O my king!” the discerning readers of THe EXAMINER whether Conservatives or Liberals, will be at no loss to discover (as the writer humbly hopes) an instructive moral running be- tween the lines.
