To the sand's white mantle clinging,
Legend says that he is blind;
Knows not where his flight he's winging.
Cupid laughs—a merry peal;
Kiglit and left his darts are flying;
Human hearts strange tortures feel;
Think ol love they must be dying.
Here a youth, and there a maid;
Rich and poor—the prince, the peasant.
To tiis nets alike have strayed;

One leward for great and small;

AIM DEBORAH’S SHIP.
A ktnr) of St. Valentine’s live.
Uncle Petwood says Aunt Deborah
wits a dreadful coquette when younff,
and wore the most bewitching coal-
scuttle bonnet he ever beheld. That
wiw before my time, and I can not con-
tradict him; 'but I can remember the
period when Aunt Deborah was not a I
bit old, was as pretty as a fairy, and as I
gentle as a fawn. She lived with us at
ed by every thing that wu rioh and
beautiful, from the palace of pearls and
rubies in which she lived to the natural
loveliness of a land all flowers and
fruits and golden corn; but she took
little heed of the beauty ot the world.
She loved of all things to gaze into a
mirror of postal, where she saw re-
flected he p.-etty face with its sunny
smile and v,-.alth of curling locks. Hei
father’s minstrels twanged their lutes
to most seductive measures, and gilded
courtiers moved about her bieathing
honeyed words of flattery; but she
heeded them not, and gazed in the mir-
ror from morning till night, content to
center all her love on that dainty face.
Oh! said Aunt Deborah, what a multi-
tude of people are content to live their
lives in that little range of delusive
class, till it drops from the weakened
hand and lies a mass of brittle frag-
ments to lacerate the feet of the wan-
It was nearly midnight when it came
to Aunt Deborah’s turn, and by that
time unlimited ginger-wine and un-
wonted almonds and raisins were doing
their will upon my eyelids; but when I
heard Aunt Deborah say she did not
know any stories, I roused myself and
blurted out that she knew the tale of
the pretty Princess; and aunty seemed
confused, and said it was nonsense, and
only a story for very little boys. But
my father and all the rest insisted that
she should tell it. She would not, how-
ever, and then, little idiot that I was, I
volunteered the story, and told it
straight through in its simplicity, for I
knew it by heart, and I had not the sense
to see that l was covering poor Aunt
Deborah with confusion.
I remember that I had just come to
the part where the Princess was look-
ing over the silvery sea, longing for the
ship that never came, when the door

shadow and the darkness!
There came one day, continued Aunt
Deborah, to this Princess a Prince of
manly form and noble heart, who
wooed her in the tender poetry of an
honest love; hut she took not hei eyes
from the glass. Yet the music of his
voice was sweeter than the minstrels’
lutes, and there was truth in the trem-
ulous accents tlmt foil upon her eai. I f
she cast tier eyes upon him for a mo-
ment, it was only that they might dally
with his as a spoiled child dallies with
its last new toy. When the Prince had
tarried many days, said Aunt Deborah,
with a sigh, his heart foil sick of love
and disappointment, and he vowed he
would go over the silvery sea to mourn
to secret his unrequited love. And
when he hoped, deep down in liis heart,
thatthe Princess would by look or word
bid him tarry, she gazed in her glass,
and was too busy scanning her own
beauties to mark the love-lorn anguish
in his eyes.
And the gallant Prince sailed away,
and the minstrels played on their golden
lutes, and the jeweled courtiers flat-
tered as before; but a change came
over the pretty Princess, bhe missed
the music of the Prince’s voice, and,
missing it, she was sad. Every day the
glass reflected a sadder face. The
bloom faded from the velvet cheek, and
tears would sometimes blind the soft
blue eyes. And then the face in the glass
began to reproach her, and she felt the
folly of centering all her heart
upur. a fading vision; and then,
said Aunt Deborah with a suddenness
that made my little heart leap,she drop-
ped the glass, and for the first time saw
that the world was beautiful beyond.
The eyes that had been confined to the
limits of the crystal now roamed in
freedom over the beauteous land, and
the heart that had been blind now
found sight to look out farther still—
away over the silvery sea—straining to
catch the first glimpse of the home-
bound ship as it should rise above the
horizon; but it did not come.
and he took off a fur cap and flicked
I he snow from it with his hand. Every
body started up as the light of the lamp
fell softly on his handsome, bearded
face.
“Good God!” cried my father; “Pet-
wood!” And lie took the strange man’s
hand.
Aunt Deborah, pale as a ghost, had
risen with the rest, and she stood stal-
ing at the stranger with a lost look in
her eyes. Then she tottered toward
him timidly, holding out her hand; but
he advanced to meet her, with his arms
wide open, and aunty burst out crying
and fell upon his breast.
Just at that moment the old church-
bell rang out the hour of midnight, and
I heard my father say: “ The ship has
come from over the silvery sea.’’
And Aunt Deborah looked up into the
strange man’s face, and as his was the
first male face she had looked upon
since the clock had ushered in the day
1 concluded that he must be her valen-
tine.
I was right, too, for the strange man
Petwood was the Mr. Somebody who
had wanted to marry Atmt Deborah,
and he had come back rich from the
land of gold, and had not married 10
savages—that was fudge—and he laugh-
ed at the story wi*h the rest. But he
did marry Aunt Deborah, and lie is now
iny Uncle Petwood, the best and kindest
of men.

Soldier* Lit Loose Upon a Village—Hor-
rible Scenes of Massacre and Rapine In
the Streets.
Panama, Jan. 19.—A letter to the
Star and Herald, giving the details of
the recent horrible scenes in the Cauk
Valiev, says that General Pena, who
commanded the Liberals, was drunk,
and gave his drunken soldiers five
hours’ freedom, during which they
gave themselves up to every excess.
Neither age nor sex were spared.
Many Conservatives were dragged
from their hiding-places and killed be-
fore the eyes of their wives and daugh-
ters, who met a worse fate before be-
ing killed in turn. Eighty-seven houses
in the center of the city were plundered
and churches robbed. The murders
number several hundred. Foreigners
lose $150,000 to $200,000 in Cali alone.
In the suburbs these scenes were kept
up for several days and the country is
nearly ruined. Palmyra escaped the
fate of Cali by paying $200,000 ran-
som. The house of the Italian consul
and of an American merchant named
McCune were plundered. Fears are
entertained that the civil war will de-
generate into a war of races. Foreign-
ers are Hying.
The letter detailing the massacre con-
tinues : Crowds of furies in the shape
of women of the lowest class, in many
cases with their offspringattheir heels,
swarmed in the streets hounding on the
excited mob to break down ad doors
not immediately thrown open. All
houses were bedizened with red rags,
shawls, handkerchiefs, table covers,
petticoats, and every tiling bearing the
destructive colors of the invaders. All
trusted to a broken reed for safety. By
midday most of the stores were cleared
of their contents. Men, women and
children went staggering in every di-
rection under the burden of t heir spoil,
and were in turn maltreated, knocked
down and sometimes even killed and
deprived by their fellow-thieves of the
proceeds of their robberies. Barrels
and cases of wine and spirits were turn-
ed into the streets, and a saturnalia of
drunkenness began that will never be
forgotten by those who have had the
misfortune to witness the deplorable
scene.
After the first rush on the stores had
procured them an abundance of drink,
bands of frenzied men patrolled town,
firing and hacking tit every living crea-
ture, but unsatiated with slaughter in
the streets they poured into the houses
of Liberals and Conservatives alike,
mostly though the latter, and contin-
ued the work of murder aim destruc-
tion. All Conservatives were ruthlessly
killed, and many Liberals who tried to
arrest the barbarians in their progress,
tried to shield friends and relatives, and
persons suspected of sympathizing with
the Conservatives or having no decided
opinion in politics, shared the same
fate.
But all the horrors are as nothing
compared with the still more frightful
excesses perpetrated in the suburbs and
on the estates in the surrounding coun-
try. The murders, last, robbery and
incendiarism have continued unchecked
for days together. All small shop-
keepers have been deprived of house
and home; all estates ravaged, cattle
driven away or shot, fences torn down,
cornfields burned, and even machinery
destroyed so as to render it useless to
its owners.
The Government at Bogota has con-
demned the acts of General Pena, but
owing to his popularity and influence
in that region it was found impractica-
ble to remove him from liis command.
There were no foreigners killed, but
their property has been confiscated in
the most shameless manner.

herself better than any body else in her

kept down by cats. If there were no
cats, there would be no red clover or

there would be no ebe' k on the field-
mice, which would multiply so abund-
antly as to destroy all the humble-bees.
There would then be nothing to fertilize

two plants would produce no seed and

but we were a happy circle, fuli of good
humor and life. My father and some
other of the elders were full of nonsense
—so Aunt Deborah said—for they all
declared that she longed for the dawn

the effect that the first male she looked

tempting bait,, watched for their ap-

a good meal at their neighbor’s ex-

Singular Case of Tooth-Drawing.
Twenty-six years ago, when Miss
Prude Burson, residing one and a halt
miles south of town, was a little child
only seven years old, she put a tooth
which had just been extracted from
some one into her ear, and pushed it, in
so it could not be seen. She told her
mother what she had done, but after a
careful examination her mother con-
cluded she was lying, and paid no fur-
ther attention to the matter. But Prude
never forgot what she had done, and
has always contended that the tootii
was in her ear. A few days ago she
got hold of a large sacking needle and
commenced fishing for it, and it was
not long till she ‘ snaked ’ it out. The
tooth is about as large as a grain of corn,
and is in a fair state of preservation.
Miss Burson is now 33 years old, and
says that the tooth never injuted her
hearing or caused any inconvenience
during the twenty six years which it re-
mained in her ear .—Newport Hoosier

No remedial agent lias over been offered

to Hostetler’s Stomach Bit ers, in cases of
remittent and intermittent fevers, constipa-
tion, nervous ailments, rheumatism and dis-

physical decay. It literally “ works won-
ders.” The botanic ingredients which its
spirituous basis holds in solution, act like a
charm upon the stomach, and through the
stomach upon the brain, liver, bowels and
nervous system. There is mi lting in its
composition that is not salubrious. It eon-
tains some of the most, potent tonics of ho

aperient and anti-bilious roots and herbs,
combined with a perfectly pure stimulating
element. The hitters are peculiarly adapted

Wonders of Modern Science.
The perfect aeruraey with which scientist#
are enabled to deduce the most minute par-
ticulars In their several department, appear#
almost miraculous If we view it In the light
of the early ages. Take for example the
electro-magnetic telegraph—the greatest in-
vention of the age. Is It not a marvelous
degree of accuracy which enables an opera-
tor to exactly locate a fracture in a subma-
rine cable nearly three thousand miles long?
Our venerable “ clerk of the weather” lias
become so thoroughly familiar with those
most wayward elements of nature that ho
can accurately predict their movements. He
can sit in Washington ami foretell what the
weather will be to-morrow in Florida or
New York, as well as if several hundred
miles did not intervene between him and the
places named. And so In all departments of
modern science, what is required is the
knowledge of certain signs. From these the
scientists deduce accurate conclusions re-
gardless of distance. A few fossils sent to
,he expert geologist enable him to accurate-
ly determine the rock-formation from which
they were taken. He can describe it. to you
as perfectly as if a cleft of it were lying on
liis table. So raise the chemist can deter-
mine the constitution of the sun as accu-
rately as if that luminary were not ninety-
live million miles from liis laboratory. The
sun sends certain siyns over the “ infinitude
of space,” and the chemist classifies them
by passing them through the spectroscope.
Only the presence of certain substances
could produce these solar signs. So also, in
medical science, diseases have certain un-
mistakable signs, or symptoms, and by rea-
son of this fact Dr. Fierce, ot the World s
Dispensary, has been enabled to originate
and perfect a system of determining, with
the greatest accuracy, the nature of chronic
di-eases without seeing and personally ex-
amining liis patients, lie lifts spared neither
pains nor expense to associate with himself,
ns the Faculty of the World's Dispensary, a
large number of medical gentlemen of rare
attainments and skill-graduates from some
of the most famous Medical Colleges and
Universities of both Europe and America.
By aid of Dr. Pierce’s, system of diagnosis,
these physicians and surgeons annually
tr at, with the most gratifying success, many
thousands of Invalids without ever seeing
them in person. In recognizing diseases
without a personal examination of the pa-
tient they claim to possess no miraculous
powers. They attain theirkuowledge of the
patient’s disease by the practical application
of well-established principles of modern
science to the practice of medicine. And it
Is to the accuracy with which this system
lias endowed them that they owe their al-
most world-wide reputation for the skillful
treatment of all lingering or chronic affec-
tions. This system of practice and the
marvelous success which lias been attained
through it., demonstrate the fact that dis-
eases display certain phenomena, which,
being subji etrd to scientific analysis or syn-
thesis, furnish abundant and unmistakable
data to guide the judgment of the skillful
practitioner aright in determining the na-
ture of diseased conditions. Tliq amplest
resources for treating lingering or chronic
diseases, and the greatest skill, are thus
placed within the easy reach of every inva-
lid, however distant he or she may reside
from the physicians making the treatment
of such affections a specialty. The peculi-
arities of this scientific system of practice
arc fully explained in the Appendix of “The
People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser”—
a book of over nine hundred large pages,
v. hich is so popular as to have reached a sale
of almost, one hundred thousand copies

dress, on receipt of one dollar and fifty
cents. Address H. V. Fierce, M. D., World’s

Alter using the Aralbottlo I began to improve rapid-
ly. The first done Burned to Clear my head as I hud
not known It to be lor years. It seemed gradually to
arrest tho discharges. It stopped my courjh tit three
dotjH. By using it- as a gargle I soon reduced the hi-
ll animation and swelling of my tonsils, so flint they
soon censed to trouble tie. 'lno soreness across my
chest disappeared, tho buzzing noises in my head
ceased, my senses of hearing and of seeing were com-
nlejcly restored, and every symptom of (llsoaso that
had reduced mo to tho verge of tho grave disappeared
by the use of Han fold’s IUdioalCubkfoh Catarrh.
I have been thus explicit because, ns a druggist, I
have Boon a great deal of Buffering from Catarrh, aud
hope to convince many that this is a great remedy.
1 tun familiar with the treatment or Catarrh as prac-
tised by the, best physicians, and have consulted the
most eminent about my case. I have used every kind
of remedy uikI apparatus that have appeared during a
period of six years past, and have, while following
ilioir use, taken great caro of my general health, but
obtained no relict or encouragement from any of them.
• Since curing myself with Sanfobd’s Radical.Curb,
I have recommended It in over one hundred cases
without a single case of failure, and havciu numerous
instances rcceivod wholesale orders from parti? s to
whom 1 have sold one bottle. This Is the only patent
medicine I have ever recommend' d, never having be-
lieved in them before, although constantly engaged in
f. dinbmore.
