When the Roses Droop la Fall

When the roses droop in fall,And the fragrant zephyrs ccaae,

When the frosts spread over all,Aad the summer tithes release,

Love will linger, hearts be true,Though the birds hare flown away;

We at home will hope renew,While the winds »f winter play.

When the roses droop in fallThey again will come some day;

When no winter's storm will call,When the sunshine beams in May.

We shall always joyful be,Lovo will make fair Eden sweet;

For in blissful unity,Heaven was made for earths retreat.

When the roses droop in fall,Think not sadly of the past;

Winter's frosts should not appal,Trying times won't always last.

Hoses shall ngain appear,Birds will come again to sing;

All will be sweet and dear,When the roses come in spring.

A Wife's Mistake,Mrs. Hopgood prided herself on be¬

ing one of the best hou«ekeepers. Shewas one of those rapid housewives whopursues at atom of dust as a huntermight pursue a stag. No blood-natur-ed liy ever dared to buzz within herdaiu ty wall?. No cat purred on herhearth-stone. Plants were tabooedbecause their leaflets would fall. Ca¬nary birds were ruthlessly excludedlest they should scatter seed. Sunshinewas excluded as au arch-enemy. 'Itbrings flies and fades the carpets,'eaidMrs, Hopgood. As for Mr. Hopgoodaud the children, they lived mostly inthe kitchen.

'1 can't have the boys' muddy bootstramping over the carpets, aud the girlssewing in the parlor,' said Mrs. Hop-good. 'As for Hopgood, I don't care

where he sit?. One place isas good as

another where lie is concerned.'The Hopgood family also took their

meals in the kiteben. »

'I've got a dining-room as nice as

anybody's.' said Mrs. Hopgood; 'witha real carved oak sideboard, with a mar¬

ble top, aud silver polished till it'a bet¬ter than a looking-glass. But where'sthe use turning things all upside down,just for one's own family? Commoncrockery ware aud good boue handledknives are just as cood for everydayuse.''Mamma,' said Elsie Hopgood, a

cheery-cheeked girl of sixteen, 'Ishould like to sit in the parlor some¬

times. Mrs. Momfort and daughter use

theirs every evening, and it looks so

pretty and pleasant in there.''Stuff and uonsense|!' said Mrs. Hop-

goo J, sharply. 'I keep bouse mvBelf,after my own fashion, and I give othersleave to do the «-tme.'

'But, mamma,' replied Elsie, '1 was

thinking how 1 should like to invite allthe girls here some tveuing, and haveten. and afterward some little games*I've been asked out so many timeswithout ever responding, and really I

am getting ashamed to go.''Then you had better stay at home,'

said Mrs. Hopsood, polishing vigorous¬ly away at the stem of her silver cardreceiver. 'I think I see m,self wiih allthe young folks in town capering on

uiy urussi..''1a.c."1ri:^*.¿'<i.»'l.rake crunis ap

melted cream daubed over eveiything.'Elsie made no answer, but her coun¬

tenance quickly fell.'I wish mamma was like any one

else,' she said to herself, the tears ob¬scuring her eyes, T wish she was likeKate Prickett's mother, who lets her

have company every Thursday evening.John Elton wauls me to marry him. IfI married him I could have a bouse ofmy own, and do just aB I pleased.'

'Mother.'said Mr. Hopgood, a weekor two afterward, with a troubled face ,

'is it true that our Elsie is out walkingevenings with John Elton? He isaworthless, dissipated fellow, and no fitassociate for any girl.'

'Mercy on us ! I don't know,' saidMrs. Hnpgood, with a perturbed face.T supposed she was with Kate Prichettor Clara Momfort. I'm a great dealtoo busy with picking and housekeepingto run nt a giddy girl's heels the wholetime. But I am going to commence

cleaning to-morrow, and then I'll war¬

rant I'll give her enough to do to keepher out of mischief.'

'Mother,' said Isaac Hopgood, grave¬ly,' sometimes I think that if we madehome a little more attractive to our

children.'Oh, nonsense !' quickly interrupted

his wile. 'I suppose you'd like us tohave tableaux, like Mrs. Momfort ; or a

magic lantern like the Mickfards. Ourchildren have not beeu brought up in

that way.'Mr. Hopgood said no more. Mrs.

Hopgood, to use her own expression,was 'in the thick of house cleaning,'the next day, with the carpets rolUdinto heaps, the floors spaliared with8oa;> suds, and bor head tied up in a

pocket handkerchief when the doorsuddenly opened'

'Take care or my pan of soap sudsand soda!' she cried shrilly. 'Oh, it is

you, is it, Ally ?'.Yes. mother, it's me,' said Alexan¬

der, b«r eldest s«m, who had just goneinto busin«-»*, as junior partner to bisfather. '1 ny, do leave off washing a

ii inute and attend to me ! Ilyerson'sit: town.my old chum, you know-

only for one day, and I have asked himto dinner.'

'To dinner!' almost «creamed Mr».

Hopgood, dropping her brush in con«

bieiiiiHion ; 'Alexander Hopgood, are

you crt»z\ ? Of course I can't havehim todinner; look at the coufusionkbit 1 ouse is in.'

.Oh. le won't mind »hat, mother;i: 11 muí it a thoroughly good fellow,.lust Let lilt» sit-down to anything withthe vest of us.'

'I »hall do nothing of the »ortjAlex.»

nnder,' aniel Mrs. nopgsod, rather se¬

verely, compressing her lips. 'Youare aware that I do not approve of yourinviting company at any time still lessat such a period as this. If you havebeen fool enough to ask him, you mayget out of tue seiape the best way youcan.'

'Hut mother-.I don't want any moro discussion on

the subject,' «aid Mr«. Hopgood, daub¬ing away with the brush.

Alexander went out «lamming thedoor.

'Well,' quoth Alexander, to himself.'If I can't ask a friend to dinner at

home, there is at least the alternativeof inviting him to the hotel. I never

did such a thing before, but I don't see

how else I can manage.'So Alexander Hopgood euiertained

Mr. Rverson at the hotel, and gave an

unlimited order for iced champagneand desert. Aud the upshot of it all

was that Alexander Hopgood was

brought in at tleven o'clock at nightby two waiters, hopelessly intoxicated.'Don't be f-fraid, mother,' stuttered

he. brandishing an empty bottle, as hebecame dimly conscious of her white,scared face bending over him. 'Go on

with your washing ! it's a heap jollier atthe hotel thau it is at home. Freedemforevtr. Hooray!

'Oh, what «ball 1 do?' sobbed Mrs.

Hopgood, when the waiters itero once

out of the house, and the roll of the cabwheels had died away. To think.onlythink that a son of mine should ever

stoop to diigracc himself thus.''It's youi awn fault,' said Renny the

second son. "You'd not let Ally bringhis friend here to dinner.

'Hold your tongue !' sharply retortedMr«. Hopgood, wincing beneath the

prick of home truth. 'Call Elsie ; Ineed help.'

'Oh, mother,' piped Fanny, the

yout.ger girl, running dowu stairs inhaste ; 'Elsie ain't here.'

'Not here ?''No. mother, she hasn't been to bed

at all.aud there a note on the tabledirected to you.

'Open it mother,' said I?aac Hop-]good.

'This is a sad night foe our house¬hold. My God, has our hums becomeso distasteful to our children that theyfly from it, like rats from n fallicghouse?'The nale was short enough a» it

reed'Dear mother : I am tired of living in

the kitchen. I have run away withJohn E lion, aud before you see me

again I shall have entered upou a new

future.Mrs. Hopgood broke into hysterical

sobbings. Mr. Hopgood hurriedly readthe hurried'y scrawled paper with a

face cold and set litre steal,'Run away with John Elton,' here,

peated slowly ; 'then God help hei : forhe isas great a villian and scoundrel as

ever lired, aud «he has sealed her owndoom. Mother, mother, this comes of

your housekeeping.''It wasn't ray fault, Isaac,' sobbed

Mrs. Hopgood. rocking herself back¬ward and forward iu a chair into which

she had dropped.'It was jour fault,' retorted the hus¬

band, almost «avsgely. 'You madethe very name of home a mockery to

four cií.'.v.Vl'Lr,". lud set your soul inside a

icrubbing pail, and ho», j vou are reap-

ng the bitter harvest, my dear.'Of course poor Alexander Hopgood

vas únanle to lift his throbbing bead t

)ff his pillow next day, and his motherlever left him until afternoon.When at last »he came down «tairs,

¿he parlor blinds were thrown wide t

)pcn, a flood of sunshine atreatning in,,he table neatly set in the dining room, ,

¦nd flowers on the table aud new books, .

«ames and puzzles scattered around.Mr«. Hopgood gazed around her with

\ bewildered air. She hardly knew her

awn home. ,

*Thi» is the way In which we must .

live henceforth,' said her husband, .

cheerily. 'Let iu the light and sun»

shine ; teach Ben and r'auny that home jis something more than an emptyname, and try, is so far as we can, to

retrieve the errors of our past life.'Mrs. Hopgood mutely bowed her

head.'1 will try, husband,' she answered.

Treasure Ion ml in i.ake Erie

Captain D. Chopin, the mine locatorof New Jersey, strnck a long*sou¿httreasure by the aid of a magnetic rod.For some msnths ho has been cruising;outBide Erie harbor in the hope of loca¬ting the wreck of the schooner Vermil¬ion, which, with three hundred andfifty tons of copper, sank in a storm

nearly fifty years ago. This morningthe magnetic Indicator wa» violentlydisturbed and gave evidence of the near

presence of metal. Soundings were

made and the wrack discovered in fiftyfsetof water. An ingot weighing fiftypound« was brought to the surface. A

large diving-bell I« to be placed over

the spot and tuen are engaged to getup the loug-coucealed treasure, which

is wi.tth over $150.000.

Taking the human race a« a whole,say« an exchange, it Is observed that

races living almost exclusitelv on meat

have been the tuest savage «oes. Nolli-

ing is so apt to transform a human

being into a savage a« to pay thirtycents a pound for a roast and then undit almost a tough as leather.

An exchange say«: 'Aman lires intbis vicinity who states that he first met

his wife in a storm, took her to ibe firstball in a storm, popped the qnestioa storm, and has lived in a «tonn evei

'What's on your mind ?' asked thelitt lo doctor, cheerfully, as a distressed-looking woman climbed the stair« atthe sign of the big foot on Woodwardavenue.

'Warts on my nose, doctor,' rejoinedthe woman, laying aside her veil andrevea ling a protuberance of uncommondimensions on the very tip of a Romannose;

'That'll come offaa easy as an ofii-cial head,' said the doctor, and leavenot a trace behind. How long, madammay I inquire, have you been afflictedwith thia miserable wort ?'

'Ten years,' said the woman; dejec¬tedly. I've always beeu afraid to haveit taken of}'; besides, my friends said it

was a sign of good luck,''It's big enough to be a sign for a

cheese factory. Now, if you will walkinto my parlor will soon »how youwhat a mistake you have made in not

coming to me nine years and elevenmonthB sooner, Sit down, please,' con¬

tinued the doctor, who is a chiropo¬dist, a« well as a wart destroyer. Thenhe produced a case of instruments fromamong which be selected a fine probe.A search among the bottles discovereda tin.- vial filled with a straw-coloredliquid that emitted a pungent odor. Thewoman look««] ou suspiciously.

'I've left word at homo where I am,'»he said sternly. 'I don't want any

experiments tried on me.'

'Perhapsyou'd batter keep the wart,'said the doctor, coolly. 'It's fifty cents

in my pocket, anyway, aud I've taken28,000 warts off of different women'sfaces, and n sver killed anybody yet.'That settled the matter. The woman

resigned herself to fate, and the doctormade a pass over the wart and it rolledoff like a Turcoman's head ; then he

wound the probe with seme soft wool,dipped it in the vial, and jabbed at the

spot where tha wart had been, talking,meanwhile to keep up his patient'sccurage.

'Took forty-seven warts offone man's

hands [jab jab]. Something curiousahaut warts ; you never see 'em come

and you never see'em go, unleis theyceme to stay, as this one did, and havetobeurgod to leave [jab jab]. I'vetaken warts off babies three months old

aud boy's hands. I'vo taken ihoii.-

ands off of boy's hands. Warts areas

natural to boys as the measles (.jab jab]Tlio little fellows have lots of fun with

them, selling them and giving them

away. They steal mother's dish cloth

anil burv it, aud wheu the dish cloth is

consumed in the earth the wart goes

away.at least that is what is expected.Ever try to sell that wart ?'

'Yes,' said the woman, I've tried to

sell it, and tiied t3 give it away, but

nobody ever seemed to waut it, and

when I raad pieces in the p-tpar aboutthe woman with a wart on her nose it

made me awful mad, for I knew it was

me they moaot all the time. I stole a

piece of pork once and hurried it naar a

ruuning stream, but it didn't go away.

I took it off once with a silk thread, but

before I could turn rouud twice it was

back again.''That's 'cause you didu'l kill the

root*,'said the doctor; 'if you kill the

root there's no more trouble. That'swhat I'm doing uow. This liquid is an

invention of my own, and it eats out

all tho foreigu substancs. the fungu*.J-.'.'"-:''! and tho diseased flesh which

lauses it. i c J.'Hi- moles aud birth marks

noles, my eradicator wi'ii*',. .-«move .hem

vitkout leaving a single scar.''I've only oue mole, and that is on

he back of my neck, and I wouldn'tiave it taken off for a hundred thous-

ind dollars. It signifies long lifts and

¦iebe».''I took a strawberry mark off a lady's

arm the other day,' said the doctor. 'It

iras the prettiest birthmark jl ever saw.

[t never showed much the folks said,.ill the season came round for straw-

jerries. Then it was just the color,¦rith little dots of white. I didn't wantX» take it eff, for if that laJv wai ever

bel the mpther could identify it easily(vith ttiat mark on it; but the folks

thought it would disfigure it, so I took

t eut. roots and all.' By this time the

woman with a wart had lost her iden-

ity. The wart and all traces of it were

z.one, aud the doctor, selecting a tinytieart-ehaped bit of court-plaster fromi box of beauty spots, applied 10 the

plice. Her gratitude was boucdless.'Your huabaud won't know you,'

laid the doctor, as he regarded his work

proudly.'Husband !' ejaculated the woman,

bridling, 'Why, I supposed you knew

I was a «ingle lady.''Well, lOJ won't be oue very long,'

'Say. colouel, is this the end of thisroac?'

'This is the end.''Dtm't go any fuither?'.Not a tod.''And I've got to rub; back?''I reckon so, but you'd better come

over to the house and luve a bite first.'.Won't it put you to any trouble?''Not a bit. Ride down info the scrub

reached his sido he continued.'Stranger, I want to post you in ad¬

Invisible Poison«

HOW IT WORKS ITS WAY INTO 1BODY AND HOW To CeUNTERACT

Oue of the great scourges of the pent year in all parts of Americabeen malaria. ThU is » troubletreacherous in its nature and so dgcrous in its results as to justly en

apprehension wherever it has app»-atBut theie are so many erroneous idupon the subject that a few words a»

order at a time when people arc s

jeet to malarial influence».Malaria, which means s tuply bid i

is the common name of a class of <

eases which arise from spores of d.;cing vegetable matter, thrown off frstaguant pools or piles ol vegetalundergoing decomposition. These sp<when inhaled with the breath .or talinto the system with water soon en

posed that these spores were of anin

nature, and like the bacteria in dipthewere propasated in the blood, but thare now conceived to be of vegetalorigin, like the fan¿i found ou dccayling wood or in cellars. The source

this state of the air is generally swamor stagnant pools, which, partially driby the hot sun, send forth vapors loaed with this malarial poison. Thevapors descend to the earth in the ni-jcooled by the loss of te t,perature, a

breathed by sleepers are readilî inhaleHence persons living near stagnapools or marshes are liable to be afflted with chills and fever, aud suchcalitios are never healthy, though thare more so when the streams flowninto them are pure, and also when twater is hieb. Again ibe drainagehouses, slaughter houses, barns, et<

are a fertile source of malaria. Oiwill often notice iu coming into t

neighborhood of one of thes sluggiistreams that pass through almost evei

village a most villainous smell causi

by the offensive refuse which coo

municales its bad odor to the atmophere, especially on hot days. Ttabsorbed into the system by the lunor takeu iu through water, which alabsorbs it from the air, poisons tlblood aud deranges the whole systenThis poison is also developed in foriu wells and springs when they beconlow, and the result of drinkiug thesethe same as breathing tho poisonoiair. lu a time of drouih the greiquautity of vegetation that dries upthe meadows, stubble fields and patures, the corn fields and forest leavproduces the same «.ffljvta. Ou tl

But if malarial poi-on could not fiadi lodgemeut iu the human body, it

¡vould be jusi as harmless et t c oxygen)f the air. The great dillkulty is thatafter being absorbed into the system, it

produces obstructions in the stomachtnd luugs, clogs the circulation of thenlood, affects the kidneys, liver andsther organs, and brings on diseases oft most dangerous character. There is

only oue known w-.y r-y ahfo-i these dis-

Bases may be avoided or i urrd utter iheyliave once made t'ieir app a** ice andis by keeping the great purifying organsof the body iu perfect health. Theseorgans are the kidueya and liver. No one

whose kidneys or liver are in perfectcondiuon wascyer afflicted by malarialpoison. Aid when tnese organs are

disordered, they not only permit, but

invite, these diseases to make their in¬

roads into the body. It is now admittedby physicians, scientists and the mi«

jority of the general public that one

medicine, and ouly one whose powerhas been tested ami proven, bas abso¬lute control of, und ktepa the kidneysand liver in constant health acd hence

T^'aril"TO MY KHIKNUS IN IIIUHLAX.) CO,

It i» p thapi necessary for me to givesome explanation of my poli'ica!Status, on account of the position I oc¬

cupied as chairman of the ExecutiveCommittee of the Reudjuster organ!/ -

Uou for this county.When I occupied tba position, it was

with no view of giving up my Homo»cracy. but nieiely as u local issue, tosettle the public debt question of V:r«grab. As i» knonn to everybody, In thefirst canvass ou this question, we hadbut a single plank in our plrlfonu. Theresult of the election is known, but in

each «ucceediug cauva»s ucv plankswere added uuiil now thoy embrice thecutiré Republican platform, with theunqualified approval of President -\ -

thur's admistration aud High ProtectiveTariff thro-vn in. Thi« is, I think,asking too much sacrifie.* of me on

National principles. Having beenborn and raised a Democrat, a mu-',

unite with ray Democratic brethren up¬on the gre.it National U-ues involve 1in the approaching election, believingalso as I do, that the question of thepublic debtis settled so fir as tie peo¬ple have auy power or coatrol of tli|matter, there uo longer exist» anynecessity to keep up the organization ofthe Readjusts party, except it be to

haudcuffus a» DtlMMMiti aud hand us

over to the Republican party at t:.e

bidding of a few leaders who are eu«

joying the loves and li-lies. I haveuo axe togriud, nor favors to ask .\-

cept in common with my oppiv-coantrymcu.

Let me in conclusion say to myPomocrat..' R »adjuster friend«, that as

the question of settlement of the Statedebt has passed iuto law and now outof your reach, do not allign j ourselveswith the Republican party on nationalpolitics without stoppiug to iuquins* ofyour future destiny politically.
