C. | Orseren B. Maonnrtt Jan. 16, '22, AYER’S PILLS. A large proportion of the diseases which cause human suifering result from derange- ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver. AYER’s CATHARTIC PILLS act directly upon these organs, and are especially designed to cure the diseases caused by their derange- ment, including Constipation, Indiges- tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery, and a host of other ailments, for all of which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac- \ | | ‘for keen old Mrs. Irwine’s opinion about ;him had /& sinister omen. } was only another reason for persevering in| tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profes- sion. These PILLS are compounded of vegetable substances only, and are absolutely free from calomel or any other injurious ipgredient. _ A Sufferer from Headache writes : - * AYER’S PILLS are invaluable to me, and are my coustant companion, I have been a severe sutferer from Headache, and your PILLS are the only thing 1 could look to for relief. One dose will quickly move my bowels and free my head from pain. They are the most effective and the easiest physic I have ever found, It is a pleasure to me to speak in their praise, and 1 always do so when occasion offers, W. L. PAGE, of W. L. Page & Bro.” Franklin St., Richmond, Va., June 3, 1862. “T have used AYER’s PILLs in number- less instances as recommended by you, and have never known them to fail to accomplish the desired result. We constantly keep them on hand at our home, and prize them as a leasant, safe, and reliable family medicine, OR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable. J. ‘I. Hayes.” Mexia, Texas, June 17, 1882. The Rev. Francis B. HARLOWF, writing from Atlanta, Ga., says: * For some years past I have been subject to constipation, from which, in spite of the use of medi- eines of various kinds, I suffered increasin inconvenience, until some months ago began taking AYER’s Pitts. ‘They have entirely corrected the costive habit, and have vastly improved my geveral health.” AYER’s CATHARTIC PILLS correct irregu- larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe- tite and digestion, aud by their prompt and thorough action give tone and vigor to the whole physical economy, PREPARED BY Dr. J.C.

(Continued. ) ‘Oh, Gawaine is harsh in his manners; he doesn't make himsclf personally agree- able to his tenants. I do..’t believe there's anyt»ing you can’t prevail vx peeple to do with kindness. For my part, I couldn't live in the neighborhood where a was not respected and beloved; it’s very pleassui to go among the tenants here, they all seem 80 well inclined to me. I suppose it seems ‘only the other day to them since I was a little lad, riding on a pony about as big as asheep. And if fair allowance were made to them, and their buildings attended to, one conid persuade them to farm on a bet- ter plan, stupid as they are.’ | * Then mind you fall in love in the right place, and don’t get a wife who will drain your purse and m:ke you niggardly in spite of yourself. My mother and I have ‘a& little discussion about you sometimes; she says, ‘1’ll never risk a single prophecy oa Arthur until I see the woman he falls in love with.’ She thinks your lady-love will _rule you as the moon rules the tides. Bot ‘I feel bound to stand up for you, as my ‘papil, you know; and I maintain that you jace uot of that watery quality. So mind 'you don’t disgrace my judgment.’ Arthur winced under this speech, the disagreeable effect of This, to his iatention, and getting an additional security against himself. Nevertheless, at this point of the conversation, he was con- scious of increased disinclination to tell his stery about Hetty. pvessible nature, and lived a great deal in o'her people’s opinions concerning himeelf; and the mere fact that he was in the pres- ence of an intimate friend, who had not ihe slightest notion that he had any serious internal struggles ashe came to confide, rather shook his own belief in the serious- ness of the struggle. It was not, after all, a thing to make a fuss about, and what could Irwine do for him that he could not do for himself? He would go to Eagle. dale in sp’te of Meg’s lameness— go on Rattier, and Pym follow as well as he could on the old hack. That was his thought as he sugared his coffee ; but the next minute, as he was lifting the cup to his lips, he remembered how thoroughly he had made up h‘s mind last night to tell Irwine. No! he would not be vacillating again —he would do what he had meant to do this time. So it would be well not to let the personal tone of the conversation alto- gether drop. If they went to quite indif- ferent topics, his difficulty would be heightened. It had required no noticeable pause for this rush and rebound of feeling, before he answered. ‘But I think itis hardly an argument against a man’s general strength of charac- ter, that he should be apt to be mastered by love. A fine constitution doesn’t insure one against smal!-pox or any other of those inevitable diseases. A man may be very firm in other matters, and yet be under a sort of bewitchery from a woman.’ ‘Yes; but there’s this difference between love and small-pox, or bewitchment either— that if you detect the disease at an early stage and try change of air there is every chance of complete escape, without any further development of symptons. And there are certain alterative doses which a man may minister to himself by keeping unpleasant cousequences before his mini ; that gives you a sort of smoked glass through which you may look at the re- eplendent fair one and discern her true outline; though I’m afraid, by-the-by, the stacked glass is apt to be missing jnst at the moment it is most wanted. I care say, now,even a man fortified with a knowledge of the classics might be lured into an iw- prudent marriage, in spite of the warning given him by the chorus in the Prome- thens.’ The smile that flitted across Arthur's f»ce was « faint one, and, instead of following Mr. Irwine’s playful lead, he said quite scriously, ‘yes,that’s the worst of it. Li's a He was of an im-!} ber life. Seminary and the He really suspected that Arthur wanted to tell him something, and thought of smooth ing the way for him by this direct questioe Bethe was mistaken. Brought suddenly and involuntarily to the briak uf coufeasion. Arthur shrank beck, and fel less disposed toward it than ever. The conversation had taken a more serious cove than he had in- tended —it would quite wisiead Irwine—he would imagine there was a deep passion for Hetty, while there was no such thing. He was conscious of colorin’, and was annoyed at his boyishness. ‘ Oh, no, no danger,’ he said, as indiffer- tytlv as he could. ‘1 don’t know that | am more 'iable to irresolution than other people; only there are little ine dents now and then that s:* ome speculating ou what migh! happen in thy foiure.’ Was there a motive at work under this strange reluctance of Arthur's which had a sort of backstair fluence not mitted to himself? Our mental business is u. “ried on much in the same wey asthe busine * of the state; a great deal of hard work is do. > by agents who are not »cknowledged. In a piece of machinery, too, | believe there is often a small, unnoticeable wheel which has agreat deal todo with the motion of the large, obvious ones. Possibly there was some such unrecognized agent secretly busy in Arthur's mind at this moment- possibly it was the fear lest he might here- after find the fact of havirg made a contes sion to the Rector « serious annoyance, in case he should not be able quite to carry out his good reselutions’ I dare not assert that it was not so. The human soul is a be sure, | very complex thing. The idea of Hetty had just crossed Mr. Irwine’s mind as be locked inquiringly at Arthur, but his disclaiming, indifferent answer, covfirmed the thought which had quickly followed—that there could be nothing serious ip that direction. There was no probability that Arthur sver saw her except at church, and at her own home under the eye of Mrs. Poy- ser; and the hint he had given Arthur abont her the other day had no more serious meaning than to prevent him from noticing her 80 as to rouse the little chit’s varity, and in this way to perturb the rustic drama of Arthur would soon join his regi- ment, and he far away ; no, there could be no danger in that quarter, even if Arthur's character had not been a strong seenrity against it. His honest, patronizing pride in the good-will and respect of every body about him was asafeguard even against foolish romance, still more against a lower kind of folly. If there had been anything special on Arthur's mind in the previous conversation, it was clear he was not in- clined to enter into details, and Mr. Irwine was too delicate to imply even a friendly curiosity. He perceived a change of sul-ject would he welcome, and said : ‘By the way, Arthur, at your colonel’s birthday fete there were some tiansparen cies that made a great effect, in honor of Gritannia, and Pitt, and the Loamshire Militia, and, above all,the ‘generous youth,’ the hero of the day. Don't you think you should get up something of the same sort to astonish our weak minds / The opportunity was gone. While Arthur was hesitatirg, the mpe to which he might have clung had drifted away—he must trust now to hic own swimming. In ten minvtes from that time Mr. Irwine was called for on brainess, and Arthur, bidding him good-bye, mounted his horse again with a senee «f dirsatisfac- tion, which he tried to quell by determin- ing toret «ff for Eaylkedile without an hour's delay. (To be continred.) Quebec is relatively worse off, in respect of tax exeu ption, than any city we have yet heard of. Almost one-third cf the whole value of property in the ancient capital is exempt. The report of the City Treasurer shows that the total value of property in Quebec city is $27,857,500, of which $8,788, - 500 is exempt trom taxation, viz ;— Federal Government, $2,007,400; Lr cal Govern ment. $956 000. The «x mpticn of Catho- lic churctes and echools, including the Laval University, »mounts to S2 014,000 ; Protestant churches ard echo: ls, $372,500 ; owned by desperately vexatious thing that, after all one’s reflections and quite determina | tions, we should be railed by moods that; one can’t calculate on beforehand. I don’t think a man ought to be blamed so much if he is betrayed into doing things that way, in spite of his resolutions.’ ‘Aa! bat the moods lie in his nature, my boy, just as much as his reflections did and wore. A man can never do any thing at variance with his own nature. He carries within him the germ of his most excep- tional action ; and if we wise people make eminent fools of ourselves on any particular oceasion, we must endure the legitimate ecnclusion that we carry a few grains of fc ly to our ouace of wisdom.’ ‘Well, bat one j betrayed into doing things by a combinatian of cireum- siauces, which one might never have done otherwise.’ ‘Why, yes, a man can’t very well steala bank-note unless the bank-note lies within convenient reach; but he won't make us think him an honest man because he begins to howl at the bank-note falling in his way.’ ‘But surely you den’t think a man who struggles against a temptation into which he falis at last as bad as the man who never struggles at all? ‘No, my boy, I pity him in proportion te his struggles, for they foreshadow the iv- sard suffering which is the worst form of Nemesis. Consequences are unpitying. Our deeds carry their terrible cousequence: that are hardly ever confined to ourselves. And it is best to fix our minds on that cer- tainty, instead of considering what may be the e.emerits of excuse for ur. But lL never knew you so inclined for moral discarsion, Arthur. Is it some danger of your own that you are considering in this philosoph.- cal, general way ! In asking this question, Mr, Irwine pushed his plate away, threw himself back may be Ch’town, Nov. 19, 1884, in his chair, and looked straight at Srthur the OC: 1:poretion, $2,532,000 ; leaving only property to the vaiue of $18,790,000 in all which pays t: xes. Col. Majendie has come to the conclusion that the agent used in the recent London explosion was the percussion bomb, similar to that used in the murder of Czar Alex- ander Il., and that it was thrown from a train going westward. It is supposed that the explosive substance was contained in o glass ball or earthenware, probably the latter. The debris at the site of the explo- sion was sifted with the view of findipg pieces of the bomb. The circumstances of the outrage are stil! shrouded to mystery.
